Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Past of Taoyuan

Crispy showed his true colors.

Red fur like fire, round face, white cheeks and mouth.

On the long tail, there is a pattern of circles.

"It's still like this, it's really troublesome to become a human." Ah Crisp said in his mouth.

"It's so cute!" Duan Zishou couldn't help but reach out and want to touch her.

"Amori!" Xu Yongzhi stopped, "People are girls, don't be like this." ”

Xu Taixing said proudly, "Yes, Ah Crisp is a lovely angel." ”

"The last time I came to visit you, I haven't seen Ah Crisp yet."

"yes, I only met her two years ago when she was bullied by a bear monster and I rescued her. Since then, I have been my daughter. Xu Taihang said.

"Is Crispy a fox?" Duan Zishou asked.

"No, some people call her Firefox, but she's completely different from a fox, she's a red panda." Xu Taihang said.

"Red panda?"

"That's right, it may be the cutest animal in Qinling and even in the whole world, it loves to eat tender bamboo shoots, loves to bask in the sun, and cares most about changes in the weather, and when it rains, you have to find a place to hide from the rain, it is difficult for red pandas to cultivate into a human form, and they can also speak, and one or two out of 100,000 may be able to achieve such a transformation."

Duan Zishou's eyes were round, but Ah Crisp was very generous, and he climbed directly onto his shoulder and sat down, very well-behaved.

"Why is it called Atsui, it's obviously red." Xu Yongzhi asked.

"It's not the color of the emerald, it's crispy, she eats crunchy, and the sound of biting the bamboo shoots and fresh fruits sounds so wonderful, so I gave her this name." Xu Taihang said.

"It turned out to be this crispy, hello crispy girl." Xu Yongzhi greeted again.

"Xu Gongzi, were you scared before? Why? ”

"Uncle Kuang, the old man in the shop, told me that there was a boy who was fascinated by a fox spirit and was imprisoned in the mountains for many days, and had a serious illness, so I should be careful."

"Hahahaha," Xu Taixing said with a smile, "I didn't let Lao Kuang know about Ah Crisp, it's difficult for ordinary people to understand the psychology of wizards, last time that boy came to climb the mountain, he did meet Ah Crisp, and he also liked Ah Crisp very much, and he wanted to propose marriage to me, but ......"

"I told him that I don't want to go with him, I want to live with my father." Crisp said.

"What did he say?" Xu Yongzhi asked.

"He said, then I will help my father-in-law work at your house every day until I move you!"

"How did that become a handful of bones again......"

"We gather firewood, chop bamboo, feed chickens, grow herbs, and sometimes come to the bear to steal honey, and he soon can't stand it......"

"Hahaha......" Duan Zishou smirked.

Xu Taixing was also very happy, "Ah Crisp seems to like Ah Shou very much." ”

"Ashou also likes A-Crisp!" Duan Zishou was blunt.

Xu Taixing went out to catch two chickens and slaughtered them, washed them, went back to the house and added seasonings to roast them, and cooked a pot of rice. ”

After everyone finished this dinner, Duan Zishou opened the bed, slept next to the fireplace, Ah Crisp washed the dishes and dishes, changed back to his original appearance, and slept next to him.

Xu Taixing opened the door of the hut and walked outside with Xu Yongzhi, when the thunderstorm stopped, the night sky cleared, and a beautiful Milky Way hung at the zenith.

"Childe, if there is anything you want to ask, feel free to ask."

"Uncle Taihang, you are also a wizard."

"It was, just like your father and your mother, that I escaped from the wizarding world before they did."

"What kind of people are they?"

"They're the best people in the world."

"Everybody says that, but now I don't think I know anything about them."

"Why?"

"You see, my father told me before Lin Quan was slaughtered that I could only find three people to help, one was my master Zhang Huan Dao Chang of Longhu Mountain."

"Lao Zhang, this is unreliable." Taihang said with a smile.

"Uncle Taihang, don't talk about my master like that."

"Okay, I'm out of the question, we're too familiar."

"The other is my uncle Tian Dabang."

"This is the most reliable dear relative, but it's a pity that this character is ...... Your dad probably doesn't know where your uncle lives now. ”

"Yes. He thought his uncle lived in Taoyuan. ”

"The other one is Xu Taishi."

"Taishi is an absolutely loyal person, and his martial arts are also very good."

"But he didn't mention you, and he said, "Let me not look for other branches, because they can't help me, and it will only bring additional risks to these people." Xu Yongzhi said.

"This is your father's personality, I'm afraid of causing trouble to my friends, in fact, as long as he says a word, what does it matter if I throw this life into it?" Xu Taixing sighed.

"Uncle Taihang, what do you mean?"

"I was blasted out by the Wizards Guild, and the name Xu Taihang is fake. My real surname is Huo. ”

"You are the ...... of the Huo family"

"At that time, the head of the Huo family was my elder brother Huo Dingyu, and I was my younger brother, called Huo Yizun."

"It was my brother who opened the magic box of amateur potion experiments, and he was very ambitious, which is why he later went mad and died."

"Did he go mad?"

"Yes, at that time, the Wizards Guild asked someone to be responsible, I was seventeen years old at the time, I had been studying potions, and I didn't know about human experiments, but Yu Sanjiang asked me to commit suicide to take the blame for my brother."

"I ran all the way and fled to this Qinling Mountains, and then your father came to me, he did a lot of work in the guild, recognized my brother's death as a suicide and apologized, and exiled me from Taoyuan, and the wizards guild expelled me from the membership and asked me not to use spells again for the rest of my life."

"I'm in this mountain, and even my livelihood has become a problem, and it was your father who opened a medicine station here, saying that I would manage it. I'm better at cultivating drugs, experimental development, and he actually gave me a job. ”

"He won't let you come to me, just because he's afraid that you will trouble me, Li Lianqiao hates my brother to the bone, if he knows your whereabouts, he will definitely come to me."

"What is the level of Li Forsythia?"

"In terms of the level of witchcraft, she is at most a middle school. But without witchcraft, I'm no match for her. If you use witchcraft, the necromancer will follow my mana traces to hunt me down, and that's what your father is worried about. ”

"I'm sorry." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Young master, don't say anything I'm sorry, my life was given by your father, I think very clearly, as long as Li Lianqiao comes, I will kill him to avenge your father, and then I will face the necromancy myself, whether it is suicide or life imprisonment, I will face my fate this time." Xu Taixing said softly but firmly.

"Uncle Taihang!"

"I have no children and no daughters, what I'm most worried about in the past few years is Ah Crispy, if there is really anything wrong, you help me take care of this child, I see that Ah Shou is very close to her, and when Ah Shou is a few years older, you can also arrange for them to marry, in the past wizards' records, Ah Crisp's clan bear has a record of marrying humans and can give birth to healthy children."

"Uncle Taihang, don't be like this, as if you are explaining the future. We should still be safe here. ”

"Lin Quan was also safe in the past." Xu Taixing sighed.

Xu Yongzhi lowered his head.

"I'm the one who hurt everyone."

"I'm not holding you accountable, Lin Quan's enchantment was built by me, your father, and your uncle, and we are safe enough, but Li Forsythia has spent twenty years still trying to solve this problem."

"Li Lianqiao said, it's four people......"

"Oh, yes, four people are right."

"What do you mean by four people?"

"Yongzhi, you ask the question you want to ask the most, and when you have the answer to that question, you understand why there are three people and four people."

"Huh?"

"The one I want to ask the most."

"Uncle Taihang, my mother, is it really like what Li Forsythia said, a walking corpse who has been dead for twenty years? She was so beautiful, so kind, so loving to my father, how could she be a dead person? ”

"Forsythia Li said your mother is dead?"

"Yes, she nailed my mother to the wall with a sword, and my mother didn't bleed, she said, it's because my mother is a resurrected dead. Then accused my dad of necromancy. Later, she threatened my dad to hand over the necromancy, but my dad didn't do it, so she forced my mom and dad to death, and wanted me to tell the secret of the necromancy. ”

"That's what she thought...... Mr. Xu said.

"Is it true? Tell me it's not true. Xu Yongzhi said.

"Yongzhi," Xu Taixing said, "you have a sister, right?" ”

"You should have been at home when your sister was born." Xu Taihang said.

"Yes, my mother has worked hard for a long time."

"If your mother is a resurrected dead, is it possible for her to create a life?" Xu Taixing asked.

"That's right!" Xu Yongyi slapped his thigh.

"The stupidity of Li Lianqiao lies in the fact that she always thinks that everything in the world is insidious and vicious, and everyone is dirty." Xu Taihang said.

"That's a perfect sum."

"She can't understand noble and holy behavior, and when she sees a good person, she will do everything she can to make the other person corrupt and collapse, and make the other person feel as bad as she is, so that she will feel good in her heart." Xu Taihang said.

"She was jealous of your mother, so she designed your mother to marry into the court, but in fact, she was the one who wanted to join the court and manipulate power. When she finds out that your mother is favored by the prince at the court, she will destroy the prince together. She told your father that your mother betrayed him for her love of wealth and wealth, but she was actually the kind of person she scolded the most. ”

Xu Yongzhi suddenly thought that he had also said that Xiaogui was "greedy for wealth", and he couldn't help but have a fever on his face.

"Xu Yongzhi, Xu Yongzhi, how much you used to trust and love others, Li Forsythia has put a dirty mark on your heart, and you have begun to become suspicious!"

He wanted to return to Jinling now and hugged Xiaogui tightly.

"Twenty years ago, your father didn't start the Yamajido, and one day, he brought your mother to me with a portal and asked me to think of a way." Xu Taixing continued.

"I saw your mother, she hanged herself in the court, and from the perspective of ordinary people, she didn't breathe, she was considered dead, but for wizards, we also have some other methods, one of which is necromancy."

"Necromancy is a forbidden technique for wizards, but at that time, everyone was already hunted down by wizards, and it didn't matter if the forbidden art was forbidden."

"Why are wizards afraid of forbidden arts?"

"The wizard said that this is a change of life against the sky, which will anger the mountain ghost Niangniang, and the goddess may withdraw the gift of mana to everyone in a fit of rage. In fact, everyone is worried that some wizards may pursue their own immortality, and in addition, if an emperor and a monarch can achieve immortality with the help of wizards, I am afraid that this world will never be at peace. ”

"I see."

"I advised your father to use necromancy, but the necromancy we know is hugely flawed."

"Necromancy resurrects people who can eat, speak simple words, and obey orders, but they do not have the ability to think for themselves. If you need an attendant, thug, maid, slave, concubine, necromancy is enough. ”

"If you need a wife, a lover, a mother of children, necromancy simply can't do it."

"So ......"

"Your mother, it wasn't your father who was resurrected with necromancy, she is a good living person, you know that Li Forsythia killed her, understand?"

"Got it."

"You might wonder how it was done, it's a very old grudge technique.

"Resentment?"

"Yes, an ancient spell that dates back to the time of the Mountain Ghost Niangniang."

"It was only occasionally that I looked through the oldest sources to learn about this lost spell, because it was so useless that it would be completely forgotten by the wizards."

"What is it?"

"Longevity, to put it simply, is that your father shares the rest of his life with his dying mother, the average life expectancy of a wizard is about eighty to ninety years, and if your father can live to be eighty years old, when he is twenty years old, divide the remaining sixty years into thirty years for your mother. They will grow old in thirty years and die together. ”

"I see."

"I advised him to think about it carefully, but he said he had already decided."

"Only I have witnessed this, only I know about it, your uncle, your master, neither know nor can tell you about it. This is also why Li Forsythia feels that there are four people's mana in Lin Quan's enchantment, because of the mana of your father and mother. It has long been mixed up at the moment of sharing life. ”

"Uncle Taihang! Thank you! ”

"Xu Zhixun is such a person, he takes good care of the people he loves the most. He felt sorry for his wife, who caused her to fall into the court of the Southern Tang Dynasty, he wanted to make amends, he wanted to save her. Xu Taihang said.

Xu Yongyi couldn't help but think of Xiaogui who was still in the palace for a while.

"No wonder I always feel that my father wants me to grow up as soon as possible, and he wants to hand over all the business to me as soon as possible."

"Your father is a man with ideas, he thinks that businessmen and commerce can also save this troubled world, he is not using the path of a wizard to save the troubled times, but using the way of a businessman and the heart of a healer to save the troubled times, so I said that he is amazing. I admire him very much, I am a person who is willing to bury my head in medicine, I don't want to go out and cause such trouble, he is also because he has become bigger, so he was found in trouble again by Li Forsythia. Xu Taihang said.

"Thank you, Uncle Taihang, I understand. One more thing, I want to learn witchcraft to avenge my parents, can you teach me can't? ”

"I can't."

"Okay."

"It's not that I'm afraid of causing trouble, my power is monitored, and if I perform a spell, soon the necromancer will find us through the portal."

"Understood."

"Find your uncle, he is the one who can help you."

"Also, don't expect too much from spells."

"Why?"

"Because you're not that material."

"Isn't that too hurtful!"

"Your father sent you to Qinling back then, do you think it's really to see medicine or cats and bears?"

"That's ......"

"He wanted me to see if you could learn witchcraft."

"Then I'm ......"

"No talent."

"The Yu family and the Tian family are both pure-blood wizards, and the probability that the children of two pure-blood wizards will not use spells is one in ten thousand, but you are, you are an ordinary person, young master, although you are a wizard's child."

"I heard that the Huo family has a drug to let ordinary people master witchcraft experiments."

"The test? Forsythia is a manufactured product, perverse, violent, and that kind of test will seriously damage people's temperament, and I will never allow my medicine to be used for this kind of test again. ”

"Then I take revenge, is there really no way?"

"No, there are other portals that might be able to help you. Have you ever heard of the Lingwu Summit? ”

"My dad didn't tell me anything."

"Also, your father doesn't want you to live as a wizard anymore, so I'll tell you about the past."

"After the Anshi Rebellion, the prime minister of Emperor Suzong of Tang Dynasty was called Li Mi, and he convened a meeting of all the forces in the world in Lingwu, and the heads of various sects such as Shi, Lao, Wu, Ying, Zoro, Mani, Poison, and Shushan were present, and Li Mi was the prime minister, the leader of Shilin, and the agent of Confucianism in the world."

"In fact, it is one thing, according to Li Chunfeng's prophecy of pushing back pictures, when the Tang Dynasty falls, the world will fall into a thousand years of chaos. Li Mi convened a meeting with everyone, hoping that everyone could show their magic and shorten this millennium, otherwise, mankind would inevitably be too miserable. ”

"At that time, everyone discussed the countermeasures for three days, and Li Mi said that Confucianism did his best to extend the life of the Tang Dynasty for one hundred and fifty years, but after that, it was a time of great chaos, and at that time, I hope that your descendants and protΓ©gΓ©s can do their best to save the people."

"This Li Mi is a real prime minister." Xu Yongzhi said.

"That's right, so after each family came back, in fact, there was a legend of a thousand years of darkness secretly circulating, and the wizard was the Yu family and the Huo family who took turns to take the position of guild leader, so your father and I have heard from our ancestors about this matter."

"The power of these sects is about the same. That is to say......"

"I can worship these sects!"

"Yes, such as interpretation, that is, Buddhism, you can consider worshipping Shaolin and learning martial arts such as the Yijin Sutra."

"Old, it's Taoism, your master Zhang Huan is the second son of Longhu Mountain, although your hand tendon is broken, but go to him to go back to the furnace for further study, there is also a chance, your uncle Zhang Bei has a daughter, no son, if you are willing to go into the Zhang family, you can learn the Five Thunder Method."

"Then this is absolutely not good, I have a sweetheart."

"It's firm, it's good."

"Shadow, it's the assassin, but where the heirs of this branch are, no one can say, some people say it's the Sichuan Tangmen, but I see their secret weapon, it seems to be the distant branch of the assassins, but it's not a big one. But they did a lot of things, and An Lushan's death was related to the assassins. ”

"Zoroastrianism has martial arts and mystical powers, but it is a bit difficult to join their people and believe in Mazda, and after the Zhuwen rebellion, the Zoroastrians were also slaughtered."

"Manichaeism is in the Kunlun area, and there are some evil martial arts, and we don't have much contact with them, so we are not familiar with them."

"Poison, in the Dali Five Immortals Sect, it was a women's sect, and most of the men who went in were used as medicine."

"Shushan, it's a swordsman, it's not quite the same as the sword of Longhu Mountain, and it has the ability to fly with the sword, but they have been cut off from the Central Plains for a long time, and I don't know if it's still there."

"Wu, it's a wizard, the only wizard you can turn to now is your uncle Tian Dabang, but I still have to say that you have no talent in this matter, you may learn for two or three years, and you can put two or three spells, but it is more likely to be a tabula rasa."

"Whiteboard?"

"It's a wizard who can't cast spells. In Peach Blossom Garden, we generally arrange such people to manage logistics, engage in administration or something. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Don't be too upset...... Because in fact, people do things, not in your sect, but in your knowledge, where to learn something, you may be able to integrate and form your own sect, as a cook as a prime minister, moving bricks and moving into a general, ancient and modern Chinese and foreign, there are similar legends. ”

"I think you're making chicken soup, but I don't have proof."

"You can leave tomorrow for your uncle, whose family lives in ......."

Before the words fell, a round portal suddenly appeared out of thin air, and four necromancers with black armor and black swords appeared from the door, and Li Forsythia's signature laughter pierced the silent night sky of the Qinling Mountains.
