Chapter 20: The Old Man
Pei Yuetong took Xiuhong and Ziyuan to the door of the shop together, but at this time, there was a faint smell of Yangchun noodles in the whole shop, and at the same time, there was a light cough of the old man.
"Excuse me, anyone?" Pei Yuetong paused slightly, and only then asked after knocking three times on the door of the shop.
She had actually determined that there must be someone here, and she had already heard someone coughing just now, but even now Sister Hui couldn't rush in, especially since they didn't come here today for a simple purpose.
I saw an old grandmother walking tremblingly from inside the house, the old grandmother was full of white hair and crutches, squinted her eyes and looked at Pei Yuetong, and then said: "Girl, my small shop is closed today, you can go to another house to eat noodles." ”
Pei Yuetong shook her head with a smile and said, "Grandma, don't get me wrong, I'm not here to eat noodles today, but I want to ask you some questions." ”
After hearing Pei Yuetong's words, the old woman was stunned at first, then seemed to laugh at herself, and said to herself in a broken way: "Recently, since Baixiaotang has had problems in the past ten days, basically every day a bunch of people have stepped into my small shop to ask about Baixiaotang that day, and I have narrated the matter of Baixiaotang I don't know how many times, but no one has ever believed what my old woman said." You'd better hurry up. ”
After finishing speaking, the old grandmother waved her hand at Pei Yuetong and them, subconsciously wanting to drive them away, and then planned to close the door of the shop.
Zi Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "This old lady, I guess you must have misunderstood our young lady, since our young lady came to ask you this question today, it means that you believe everything you said." ”
The old grandmother glanced at Ziyuan, and then stopped her eyes on Pei Yuetong's body very suspiciously, seeing that Pei Yuetong's temperament exuded from her body was not bad, she knew at a glance that it was definitely not an ordinary person, plus she couldn't see through Pei Yuetong's strength, and she was a little dazed for a moment.
Pei Yuetong hurriedly continued: "Yes, that's right, grandma, don't worry. I have a good relationship with the three elders of Baixiao Hall and Lingzhi, so I really want to know what happened that day. ”
As soon as the old grandmother heard this, she was instantly very surprised, and she looked at Pei Yuetong in horror, "You...... You even know about Ganoderma lucidum! ”
Pei Yuetong was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and said honestly: "Lingzhi's stealth technique has no effect in front of me, and my relationship with the three elders and Lingzhi is good. What do you think? Are you willing to believe me now? ”
The old grandmother looked at Pei Yuetong for a moment, and did not answer Pei Yuetong's question, but turned around and walked directly towards the room.
Pei Yuetong smiled faintly, knowing that the old woman had also promised her to come in, and then she walked into the shop.
Xiuhong and Ziyuan also followed Pei Yuetong's pace and entered the shop together, and the last Ziyuan also closed the door of the shop directly at the same time.
Across the shop, there is a small courtyard. Although it seems to be very small, it is very warm, and it is extremely clean, and it is not difficult to see that this grandmother usually cares about these details.
The old lady was already sitting on a recliner under the tree in the courtyard at this time, looked at Pei Yuetong and said, "Since Bai Xiaotang's accident, there have been countless people who want to know everything about Bai Xiaotang's incident. Just because in their opinion, Baixiaotang is a very mysterious place, and everyone only knows that there is an old man with a white beard who can know the destiny of heaven in Baixiaotang. ”
Pei Yuetong raised her eyebrows.
Presumably, the white-bearded old man that this grandmother said should be the third elder.
The old grandmother sighed: "But in fact, Baixiaotang is not a very colorful place, everything is because of that person...... That person can perceive the heavens, and he can also perceive the time of his own fall, so he specially arranged a Baixiaotang to prepare for his future. In the long run, Bai Xiaotang also obtained such a mysterious legend on Tianning Street. ”
"Listen to my maidservant, when something like this happened in Baixiao Hall that night, you had already seen it all?" Pei Yuetong frowned slightly and looked at the old grandmother.
Presumably, this grandmother should know a lot of things, it is absolutely impossible for a person's eyes to lie, just like now, Pei Yuetong can see the sadness she exudes from this grandmother's eyes.
But that's all there is to it. Basically, she already knew all these things, and the most important thing was to know where the three elders and Lingzhi were now.
The old lady smiled faintly and said, "The Third Elder and the Lingzhi Girl, the two of them did not belong to this continent in the first place, or in other words, they were just a pawn arranged in this continent. Little girl, if it's like you said, if you really have a good relationship with the three elders and the Lingzhi girl, you should know where they come from, right? ”
"That place." Pei Yuetong replied lightly.
That place, these four words were so touched by her that she really couldn't know what the place that was called that place was really like? In other words, everything about that place doesn't seem to be the same as it does on the mainland.
And this continent is like a new world for that place, and it is even more different.
The old grandmother smiled happily, as if her thoughts had already drifted away: "Then do you know what kind of place the forces that everyone calls that place are?" ”
Pei Yuetong was stunned and shook his head.
"I don't know, but I also yearn for it, but the Third Elder and the Lingzhi girl are from that place. That night, I just couldn't sleep, and when I happened to get up, I saw the Third Elder and the Lingzhi girl fighting with a man in black, and the man in black seemed to be from that place. ”
Pei Yuetong was stunned, it turned out to be just a man in black?
"Are you sure you read that night right?" Pei Yuetong still didn't believe this fact, so he continued to add, "Is there really only one man in black?" ”
The old woman's eyes narrowed slightly, and she nodded with certainty.
If it is really like this old lady has witnessed it with her own eyes, only one man in black can successfully defeat the three elders and Lingzhi, then it means that this man in black is really strong to a certain level.
Although she is not very clear about the strength of the three elders, it must not be low, at least if it is the Xuanhuang realm, as for Lingzhi, Pei Yuetong knows very well that she saw Lingzhi's shot in the City Lord's Mansion last time, and the Xuanqi floating all over her body at that time was probably the strength near the Xuanhuang Emperor.
