Chapter 248: Unraveling the Gap
"You're here!"
The voice revealed a taste of vicissitudes, including a sense of majesty, although the voice was plain, it seemed that he had long known that the black shadow would come, but if he listened carefully, there was still a trace of fluctuation, and the slightest fluctuation was nothing else, but a kind of joy to see his relatives.
After the black shadow heard the voice, his body shook suddenly, the fire fold in his hand almost fell to the ground, and his eyes looked towards the source of the sound in shock, and the black shadow finally faintly saw the figure sitting here, just when the black shadow didn't know how to answer, the voice came again.
"It's been ten years! Alas, these years have passed in a blink of an eye, but I didn't expect it to be ten years! These ten years can be said to be things and people!" The color of vicissitudes in the voice is even stronger, it seems to be nostalgic for the past years, and it seems to be complaining about the moment when the white horse passed through the gap in the past ten years.
"Yes, it's been ten years! Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye!" said the black shadow helplessly, the black shadow of the uninvited guest before did not make any sound since he came in, nor did he make any moves, neither escaped as soon as he was discovered by the master, nor entangled with the master after the matter was revealed. The weird scene seems to be two friends who haven't seen each other for many years, lamenting the waste of time and the ruthlessness of the years.
Suddenly, the inside of the hall became translucent, and the appearance of the entire hall was fully displayed in the eyes of the black shadow, looking at the hall that had not changed a little bit from ten years ago, the eyes of the black shadow were full of memories. Scenes appeared in the black shadow's mind, and memories and reality gradually merged, as if time had returned to ten years ago, making it impossible to distinguish whether this black shadow was now or ten years ago.
Just when the black shadow was still remembering, the master of the hall spoke again: "It's all here, why are you still hiding it, are you still afraid that I won't recognize it?"
The sound came into the ears of the black shadow, which made the black shadow wake up from the memory, the black shadow looked at the person sitting on the wooden chair with his back to him with complicated eyes, slowly took off the black cloth that wrapped his face, and an extremely familiar face appeared, and the uncomfortable others were the uncle of Xia Ye and the others, Xia Yang's father Xia Houming.
And just when Xia Houming took off the black cloth that covered his face, the person who was originally facing away from him also turned around at the same time, Xia Houming looked at the appearance of that person and there was basically no difference from ten years ago, the only difference was that there was a little frost on the original black hair, and there was a faint trace of sadness in the depths of his eyes. The person Xia Houming saw in his eyes was none other than Shen Wanxiong, the contemporary sect leader of the Lieyuan Sect, who was also Xia Yang's grandfather.
"Xiahou Ming has seen the sect master!" After finishing speaking, Xiahou Ming bowed down.
"Sect Master, alas, it's better not to be so rusty!" Shen Wanxiong looked at Xiahou Ming with a respectful face, and suddenly thought of the young talent who was strong and strong ten years ago, at this moment, ten years have passed, and the originally sharp young man has now become much calmer, and there are no longer the edges and corners of the year. Looking at Xiahou Ming and Shen Wanxiong's mind, a shadow suddenly appeared, and when the shadow appeared, Shen Wanxiong's eyes showed a trace of regret and remorse, more nostalgia and love. He whispered softly, "Rou'er!"
"Hou Ming doesn't dare!, please forgive the sect master!" Xia Hou Ming still said respectfully.
"I know, you still hate me, if it weren't for my hard efforts to obstruct it ten years ago, Rou'er wouldn't be like this, and she wouldn't be like this, she has endured pain for ten years!" Shen Wanxiong suddenly looked helplessly into the distance and said.
"Hou Ming didn't blame you, Hou Ming was also responsible at the time, but unfortunately regretted that he shouldn't have insisted on going his own way at that time, and finally caused such a tragedy. In the end, Hou Ming was not good, not only did he let the sect master suffer the pain of losing his daughter, but he also didn't bring Xia Yang to visit his grandfather for ten years, all because Hou Ming didn't know how to face the sect master!
"Don't mention what has already passed, but one thing you said is very true. Shen Wanxiong looked at Xiahou Ming and said slowly.
"I don't know what the sect master said is Xia Yang?" Having already guessed what Shen Wanxiong said, Xiahou Ming asked inquiringly.
"Yes, although Xia Yang is your son, and he is also his own grandfather, even if there are indeed some contradictions between you and me, you really shouldn't take Xia Yang to see me, a grandfather who has never known me since birth!" Shen Wanxiong said helplessly.
"This is indeed Hou Ming's inconsiderate thinking, and I ask the sect master to forgive me!" Xia Hou Ming said respectfully.
"Okay, it's useless to say this, you still tell me why you didn't bring my own grandson here this time! I heard Elder Feng Tian say that Xia Yang actually apprenticed not long ago, don't you know that his grandfather is the sect master of the Lie Yuan Sect, one of the top ten sects!" Speaking of this, Shen Wanxiong couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, thinking about it, every year, he was hidden in the dark, quietly looking at Xia Yang in the distance, now it's good, listening to Elder Feng Tian said, Xia Yang was taken to the Red Leaf Forest to cultivate, although the outer area of the Red Leaf Forest will not be too dangerous, plus that person dares to take Xia Yang into the Red Leaf Forest, it means that this person has enough ability to face the situation in the Red Leaf Forest, but the Red Leaf Forest is so big, he has no way to find two people in the Red Leaf Forest, so when he thinks of not being able to see his grandson within two years, Shen Wanxiong can't help but feel a little angry in his heart。
Xiahou had already learned from Elder Fengtian about Shen Wanxiong's reaction to Xia Yang's apprenticeship, and now after experiencing it personally, although Shen Wanxiong only mentioned Xia Yang's apprenticeship slightly, he still keenly felt some of Shen Wanxiong's dissatisfaction with Xia Yang's apprenticeship. Thinking of this, Xiahou Ming immediately said: "This is a long story, originally the three major families of Red Leaf City restrained each other, a color of harmony, coupled with the suppression of the city lord's side, so it has always been peaceful on the surface, but with the gradual prosperity of the Xia family's family affairs in the past two years, the three major families still live in harmony on the surface, but behind the scenes, there is a dark tide, and the slightest wind and grass will be tense." Some time ago, an auction was held at the World Auction House in Red Leaf City.,I happened to go to participate.,By chance.,Found a handle that contains a trace of ' The other two families did not discover this secret, so the Xia family obtained it at a price not much higher than the best treasure, and thought that no one knew about it, but later, the person in the black robe visited the Xia family, and told the secret of the Red Feather Sword on the spot, feeling that the person's cultivation was not comparable to his father, but the Xia family was reluctant to give up, and when the two parties were in an extremely embarrassing situation, they unexpectedly found that Xia Yang was hiding in the compartment, and the black-robed man was originally bound to get the Red Feather Sword, but when he saw Xia Yang, he changed his attention, that is, he wanted to accept Xia Yang as an apprentice。 In desperation, my father discussed with me, thinking of the current situation of the Xia family, if such a Guyuan Realm master joined, the Xia family would inevitably be strengthened, and that person's cultivation was very good, so in desperation, we agreed to Xia Yang's apprenticeship, of course, in order to prevent the black-robed people from cheating, we also agreed with the black-robed people to make three chapters. This is the whole process of Xia Yang's apprenticeship!" In this way, Xia Houming slowly told Xia Yang's grandfather Shen Wanxiong about the scene at that time.
"Ridiculous, at first sight, I entrusted Yang'er to a black-robed man of unknown origin, and now the black-robed man actually took Xia Yang to the depths of the Red Leaf Forest, in case Xia Yang has three long and two short, not only you, but even the Xia family will not escape the involvement!" Shen Wanxiong said angrily, he really didn't expect that Xiahou Ming and his father would agree to this matter so hastily, thinking that Xia Yang would not hear from him in two years, how could this not make Shen Wanxiong extremely angry.
Xiahou Ming knew that Shen Wanxiong was also worried about Xia Yang's safety, and he was not like this, but things had developed to this point, no matter how worried they were, it would be useless, fortunately, it was said in the family letter that Xia Yang was fine, thinking of this, Xia Houming immediately said: "Sect Master, rest assured, every month Xia Yang's master will send some letters to Xia's family, Xia Yang is all fine in the Red Leaf Forest, but what we don't know is where Xia Yang is in the Red Leaf Forest." ”
After Shen Wanxiong heard this, he also understood that this matter was a foregone conclusion, but when he thought of Xia Yang, Shen Wanxiong couldn't help but feel a little relieved in his heart, and then sighed helplessly, and said: "Poor Xia Yang, after my grandson was born, I lost my mother, and I couldn't recognize my grandfather for ten years, and now there is a person in such a dangerous red leaf forest, alas, pity this child." ”
When Xiahou Ming heard this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and then he thought of something, looked at Shen Wanxiong in front of him in astonishment and said, "What does the sect master mean?"
Shen Wanxiong glanced at Xiahou Ming and said: "If you don't bring my grandson to see it, can't I go to visit by myself, but every time I look at each other from a distance, Xia Yang's child has many similarities with his mother, alas, I also blame me, who is a grandfather, watching my grandson, but I can't recognize each other." ”
Shen Wanxiong's words confirmed Xiahou Ming's guess, and Xiahou Ming said in his heart Sure enough, it turned out that Shen Wanxiong had really been to the Xia family in Red Leaf City, but they didn't know it. Thinking of this, Xia Houming said: "Two years is very fast, I believe that after two years, Xia Yang will return to Xia's house, and when the time comes, I will personally bring Xia Yang to recognize his grandfather!"
"That's it!" Shen Wanxiong said helplessly, and then Shen Wanxiong thought of something, looked at Xiahou Ming and asked, "Why did you come here late at night?"
When Xiahou Ming heard Shen Wanxiong ask, he remembered the purpose he brought to the Fire God Palace, and touched the letter hidden on his body, Xiahou Ming said: "Originally, I wanted to put down the letter, and I was going to leave the Lieyuan Sect tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to be here, sect master." ”
