Su Banxian is so powerful, after all, he is not the support of the small county town of Gu Qingniao's family. Supporting this position, in fact, is very embarrassing, although the names are the same, but in the end it must be divided into levels, which one is more powerful, the support of big cities or the support of small cities, which is really hard to say. Because there are many factors to become a supporter, first of all, the support must have a certain combat effectiveness, after all, as a support, what is necessary is to be able to deal with those abnormal Xuanmen phenomena, so the battle is necessary for your history. Secondly, the support itself is a kind of divine position, and if you want to inherit the divine position, you must have the corresponding luck, and the luck must also echo the region corresponding to the protection of the divine position. Finally, there is also a sense of responsibility and initiative called support, which is the general situation. There are many ways to support the recognition of the selected trajectory, some are hereditary in the family, like Qi Yan, some are apprentices, like Dan Sheng, and some are found a suitable talent before they die, and then directly inherit the divine position, and there are not a few such things. If a place wants to produce a support, it needs to find a person among the local people who meets the above three conditions. And no matter whether such a person accepts the god position is a big or small thing, in fact, their ability is judged according to their own strength, after all, whether it is guarding or supporting, the power of the bonus is a quota, Lanling once said that the energy of the blessing of the town guard is huge, but the support is different, they don't have much power bonus at all, the most important thing is the authority of the god, and the size of this authority, which can constrain the geographical scope of their authority, can not affect their strength. Therefore, whether it is the support of a big city or a small city, they all rely on their own strength to speak, maybe there is a peerless genius in this small county, and the strength is much higher than others, and some people may not have any strength themselves, but after becoming a support, they can do a lot of things with their own authority, which is also very common.

Why is Su Banxian not supporting, this question Gu Qingniao also asked Gu Qingwei once. Gu Qingwei just told Gu Qingniao that Su Banxian actually didn't want to take any responsibility, he looked unfathomable, but he actually had a very philistine side, especially when it came to receiving benefits from others, after all, he was a person now, he had always been a person, and he might not have a successor in the future, and he didn't want to trouble teaching his disciples, so people always had to eat, so they would be realistic. If there is too much difference between reality and ideals, it is easy to suffer from gains and losses, so Su Banxian himself is a combination of contradictions, and his own problems have not been solved, how can he rush to help others solve their troubles all day long?

Gu Qingniao didn't understand it at the time, but now he understands a little bit, but he doesn't understand it too much, but in short, Gu Qingniao feels that people like Gu Qingwei and Su Banxian are probably because they are too casual, so they can't inherit the position of support.

Are Gu Qingwei and Su Banxian casual people? In Gu Qingniao's opinion, this is completely the case, they don't seem to care about the people next to them at all, and they will only have snacks for the people they care about occasionally, but fundamentally speaking, their hearts are not bad, but they are a little lazy, so lazy that they have no resonance with the world, so they rarely feel touched by anyone or anything, and if they are not touched, they will naturally not move. Hiding in their own inner world for a long time, they have their own set of theories, and they also have their own set of experiences, in their lifestyle department, such theories and new ones will make them live well, maybe they will not have a good time getting out of this self world, but why should they go out? After all, in the eyes of others, this kind of life is also normal, even enviable, you don't know how happy this kind of life is, at some point, the life you yearn for is probably very similar to their life, but you also know that you can't live such a life like them, because you have too many worries in your heart, there are too many concerns, the world is too big, you still want to see, although there is no difference between seeing and not seeing, but you just want to see. In general, I still don't have the courage or the ability to build a perfect enough world in my heart and dwell in it, so I seek the comfort of a big world.

When Gu Qingniao thought of this, she looked at Lanling, and sometimes she felt that Lanling seemed to have such a side, but Lanling was even more complicated, because Lanling itself was the guard of the Hui family inheritance system, and there was also the god seat of Yama waiting for him, so if Lanling wanted to get such a life, he would undoubtedly have to give up a lot of things. Gu Qingniao could see that when he was with him, Lanling's tendency to seek this kind of life was even more obvious, what he wanted was a world of two people, a world that he shared with Gu Bluebird and two people, a world that was not disturbed by others, no matter what others said and did, it had nothing to do with them in that world, just like the Three-Eyed Venerable and his wife. But Lan Ling's responsibility makes Lan Ling unable to do this, so he has been hoping for hope, and it has become wishful thinking, such a contradictory mood, will Lan Ling be very painful? Gu Qingniao looked at Lanling's face and didn't see any clues. Lan Ling is such a person, no matter what kind of thing he is in his heart, he will never tell you bad things, because in his opinion, these bad things will either disappear one day, or one day they will bring disaster to you, so there is no need to say these things at all. It is useless to worry about it now, it is better not to know anything, and it is good to face it together when the time comes. So Gu Qingniao is always guessing what kind of worries and what kind of facts Lanling is hiding, but her vision and thinking are not enough, so it is difficult to guess, and it is impossible for her to say it with Lanling, so she can only be on the side, silently supporting this boy she likes. So Gu Qingniao reached out and hugged Lan Ling's arm, then leaned on his body, and whispered: "It's a little cold, borrow your arm and use it!" ”

Lan Ling smiled and didn't say anything, the two of them took a car, Lan Ling said an address, the address that Gu Qingniao didn't have any impression, and then the two of them went to a small village. After entering the village, Gu Qingniao was still a little curious and asked, "Why is there a support in our county?" Sanjo City to that side, whether it is Hojo, Tojo or Saijo, it is all managed by Dansheng, is there any difference between our side and theirs? ”

Lanling said: "The god position of protection is determined by God, sometimes there is a support within the scope of a city, but it does not mean that the county seat is gone, the history of some county towns is not much worse than that of big cities, so there are some historical reasons, and some counties themselves have some special qualifications, and some cities may be some important locations of Xuanmen, so in general, the situation of each city is different, and the god position of support is not the same. After all, the god position is related to the luck of the relevant region. Generally speaking, cities like Sanjo City and Hojo Prefecture are probably cities that were born at the same time, and they are basically closely related, and you can see from their names that Sanjo City and Hojo are the three county towns that complement each other and inherit the same water vein, and it can even be said that these four cities are basically one, so it is not unreasonable to say that luck is closely related and has the same support. And like your county, it has a very long history, and even in many eras, there were also outstanding people, and even now there are some inheritances, just like Su Banxian, natural luck is self-contained, and it is not associated with the city-level city, so it has its own protective position. But this kind of judgment rule is very complicated, maybe only God knows how to decide, so fundamentally, we can't say which city is supporting it, but the god is there, even if you think it's impossible, it's also the case. ”

"What kind of person is the guardian of our city?" Gu Bluebird asked.

Lanling smiled: "I don't know, the last time I came, because I was just in a hurry, too hurried, so there is no need to go to the local protector to visit, but I heard that this support in your county town seems to be not simple, it is said that he is a highly respected person, in this land, even more famous than the support of your city, but this protector is not often idle in the eyes of people, many Xuanmen people want to visit, but they can't remember the door." After all, if you think about it, there is still one more person like Su Banxian in your county, who can press down the inheritance of Su Banxian, I'm afraid there is really something in this support. ”

Lanling said, took the ancient bluebird to the door of a small courtyard, raised his hand and knocked on the door, and then heard a dog barking inside, and after the people inside shouted "enter", there was no sound, Lanling They pushed open the door, and then saw a yellow dog running happily in the yard, and the air coming out of the dog's mouth turned into a white mist. After entering the yard, the ancient bluebird saw that the yard was a vegetable field with no plants in winter, and the vegetable furrows were very neat and cleanly divided, just like the kind of land that all ordinary farmers planted in their yards. The yellow dog ran to their side, and did not continue to bark, but ran around their side to spread joy, occasionally lowered his head to smell the smell of Lanling and the ancient blue bird, the ancient blue bird stretched out his hand and touched the yellow dog's head, and the yellow dog was even more happy, and quickly circled in the yard, so that the ancient blue bird couldn't help laughing. The two of them walked into the second gate and saw the old man drying bacon in the courtyard.

The old man looks very gentle, at first glance, it seems that it is not the same feeling as the old man in the country, the first impression is probably polite, like a scholar, looks elegant, very learned, but it is such a person, just in front of your eyes, standing on the stool to dry bacon on the eaves, it is really not too consistent with his whole style, so the ancient blue bird looked at it twice, and then saw a scar on the old man's hand, a very long scar, almost throughout the entire right hand, as if the right hand was cut between the middle and index fingers, all the way to the wrist, and then regrown, leaving a hideous scar, which makes people look frightened.

Seeing Lanling and them walking in, the old man turned his head, and then got down from the stool, his movements were very light, not like an old man at all, but Gu Qingniao looked at his appearance, and knew that this old man was actually very old, almost older than his grandfather, and it was estimated that he would look like eighty or ninety. This old man is the support of our county? Gu Qingniao couldn't help but look at the old man in front of him, looking at his plain clothes, looking at his old but still ruddy face, looking at his energetic eyes, looking at her hand. As if feeling the gaze of the ancient blue bird, the old man raised his hand and said with a smile: "It's a little scary, don't mind." ”

Gu Qingniao quickly retracted his gaze and shook his head with a smile: "No, no." ”

After the greetings, the old man invited Gu Qingniao and Lanling into the house, and then poured water for them, Lanling said: "After the outsiders come to the local area, they will come to visit the support here, this time they will stay for a few days, and they may come often in the future, so come to recognize the door." ”

The old man looked at the two of them, and then heard Lan Ling say this, so he naturally knew what was going on, and said with a smile: "Congratulations." ”

Gu Qingniao blushed, and Lan Ling said with a smile: "Thank you, old man." ”

The old man said: "Now in the Xuanmen, there are more and more people who don't pay attention to the rules, and there are more and more young people who like to fight and kill all day long, they all like the image of the Xuanmen people in the small talking book, not many people are willing to follow the old rules, you come here, you can come to me, the old man, I guess there is also a family history, right?" I see that you also have the aura of a god on you, I don't know where you are in office? ”

Gu Qingniao was a little surprised when he heard the old man's words, according to Lanling, there are quite few people who know that the protection and guarding are the inheritance of the gods, and even many of the supporters are just inheriting the gods, and they don't know the mystery of this, and the people who can feel other gods through the gods can be said to be very few, and the old man in front of him not only knows the breath of the gods, but also can see that Lanling is the heir of the gods, which is very mysterious, Let the Guqi bird have the illusion of meeting a peerless master in the mountain village.

"But I suppose you're not just here to visit me, are you?" After a few casual words, the old man spoke first.

Lan Ling smiled and nodded; "I really can't hide anything from you, we have one more thing here, and it's about my girlfriend's house. That's the case.,My girlfriend is actually a Xuanmen person.,But she has some magical abilities.,Because it's not too obvious before.,So no one ever knew.,Last summer.,She developed the ability in her body.,It's only been more than half a year now.,Not many people should know.。 When I went home this time, a classmate of her father many years ago came to their door and said that they had a verbal marriage contract back then, and this time they came to fulfill the marriage contract. Do you know, in this world, where is there anyone who keeps this kind of marriage contract? And we saw that this family was not a good thing, so we resolutely refused, originally thought it was just a simple harassment incident, but what made us feel strange was that the family seemed to have sent someone to spy on us, monitor our movements, and there were also Xuanmen people among them, so we wondered if someone knew the secret on her body, wanted to intervene, or had other intentions. But my identity is here after all, and I don't think these people are like people who know my identity, but people who don't know my identity are difficult to know that she is special, so I'm going to investigate. First of all, I want to visit here, and secondly, I want to ask if there are any long-standing families in the local area, or other forces that may be interested in my girlfriend, or what kind of cult or something. Finally, I hope that once something happens, you can help, if they really plot against us, in the end eighty percent will do it, and it will inevitably cause a riot when it happens, and you will need to bear more at that time. ”

The old man laughed twice, nodded, and said, "I can already see that this little girl is the legendary owner of the alien pupil, right?" Although I'm old and faint, but I've also seen a face with a different pupil, recognize such a first pair of eyes, no wonder you're so nervous, if it's a different pupil, there is really a possibility that someone will make up your mind. However, I don't know if there are any other families or forces in the local territory that can be seen by the different pupils, let alone people who can see it, even if there is a family of sufficient size. You have also seen that we are a small place, although there are a lot of inheritances, but our inheritances have experienced the last era of the end of the law, and the rest are all very ancient inheritances, and the ancient inheritances naturally have the rules of Gulao, and there is also the glory of the family, so even if you know the owner of the different pupils, it is impossible to do it directly, not to mention that we are all used to living comfortably in such a small city, and we don't want to cause trouble for ourselves, so if it is a local Xuanmen person who already knows, I'm really not sure of my idea, and listening to you, these people don't seem to be in good shape, I suspect that some people came by chance to hear the news, after all, your father's classmate is probably not local. ”

Gu Qingniao thought about it, what the old man said was right, his father's college classmates were all gathered from all over the country, and the woman surnamed Liu was not a local, so they had reason to believe that these people who spied on them might not be locals anymore, if they were not locals, they could still see that Gu Qingniao had different pupils on his body, which was really unusual.

"But even if that classmate is not a local, but the person who found the blue bird with different pupils is probably also local, maybe they just colluded a little. After all, we have never announced that the blue bird has different pupils, and even for a long time, the blue bird's eyes were injured, and they all came to see people in the image of a blind man, and only came to live in the house for a period of time after being blind, in addition, when the cow was at home, he did not come into contact with other people in the country, and when he was outside, the people he knew were also reliable, and some people I knew, I had already thought about them. The biggest possibility is that during the time she lived at home, someone saw something from the injury in her eye, and then colluded to let this woman surnamed Liu come over to enforce the marriage contract of the year. ”

"Well......" The old man thought for a while and said, "What you said is not impossible, if you say so, I still think of a possibility, but this possibility is very small, I didn't intend to say it, but all I can think of is this, as for whether it is possible or not, it is up to you to judge." ”

"But it doesn't hurt for you to say that." Lanling said.

"In this small city, there was a very large organizational force, this organization, in fact, is not a good thing, they were exterminated by other righteous people a long time ago, in my succession to support the follow-up, it has been a long time since it appeared, it has long disappeared cleanly, so speaking of which, this force actually appeared in the last era of the end of the law, I am eighty-six years old this year, and the age of inheritance and support is twenty-seven, when that force appeared, I was not yet born, You know why I didn't think to tell you about it in the first place, right? The forces of the previous era, and they have been wiped out, I have not seen these people appear again after so many years of support, maybe they have all disappeared, but I still heard some rumors, saying that this organization still exists, in our city, they are waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback, but whether these people are the descendants of the people of that force, or the people who regathered the old monsters who survived, or the people who got the remnants of that force, I didn't take them to heart, not to mention that they had all appeared, maybe it was just a rumor, maybe there wasn't at all, and as a supporter, I couldn't take action against them when they didn't do evil, so fundamentally, this organization is almost equivalent to non-existence, because I haven't investigated, so I don't dare to say whether it exists or doesn't exist, but if you have to say that there is a possibility, this is a possibility, the biggest possibility I can think of. ”

After listening to the old man's words, Lan Ling nodded and said, "I wonder if you have any records about this organization here?" And what exactly they did back then, what was the purpose, I want to know about these, after all, as you said, this is the only possibility that seems to be now, I naturally have to study more and be prepared. ”

The old man said, "I am a small place here, and when I came to seclusion, I gave all the records to my old friend for safekeeping, and he is more suitable to keep them. You go to an old bookstore in the county, the name of the bookstore is Changlong Bookstore, and when you arrive at Changlong Bookstore, you find an old woman named Li Subai, and say that I introduced her, and she will show you the information, and those materials are placed in her bookstore, and she is also a special person responsible for recording the Xuanmen incident that happened in the whole city, and it is also considered a manpower in our system, and then you can see the information about the organization back then. ”

Lanling and Gu Qingniao thanked the old man, the old man was able to spare no effort to help them has moved them very much, after all, although the old man is the local support, but the other party has no clear action, the old man has no reason to be responsible for this matter, but the old man is so much, such an attitude of appreciating the back and helping them, let them feel that the Xuanmen people in this small city are really warm-hearted. And it's not just warm-hearted, they seem to have their own set of rules of conduct, just like the old man's seclusion, like the old man's caution, as if their division of labor, and the special way of using the bookstore to hide the records of the Xuanmen, as if it were a precision machine that operates quietly underground, there is nothing to find fault with at all, and when someone needs help, they can accurately find any link. Gu Qingniao didn't know if there were other relevant links in charge of the hidden places, but she was sure that the old man Li Subai was definitely not the last, but it was a pity that it seemed that whether it was the old man or the old man Li Subai, they no longer had descendants to inherit their work, because they were all alone, as if they were abandoned old men, living in the countryside alone and living in a bookstore alone.

When they arrived at the bookstore, they saw an old woman with reading glasses sitting behind the counter of Changlong Bookstore, looking at a thick book, it seemed that she had been reading it for a long time, and the old man was also very serious, when the old man entered the store, the old man raised his head and took a look, reached out and took off the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, and asked, "Hello, what book do you want to buy?" ”

Gu Qingniao couldn't help but look inside the bookstore, and found that this place was really a little different from other bookstores, although Gu Bluebird was a local, but not every store had ever come in to see it, let alone notice a bookstore in such a corner, but after entering, he couldn't help but be shocked by the furnishings in the bookstore. The biggest difference between this bookstore and other bookstores is that there is no careful categorization of the books here. Although there are bookshelves on the walls, there are also some counters in the middle, and there are old stickers on the counters, which say that there are literary masterpieces over there, which side is the biographies of celebrities, and new novels and the like, but the books on the shelves, to be honest, don't matter, because most of the books in this bookstore are piled up in various places, as if they are placed casually, a stack on the left, a stack on the right, and even around the counter is a large circle, the counter is completely submerged with a spine, and all kinds of books are placed in all corners, inside, There are a lot of books here, very much, so much that you can read the name one by one, you may not be able to read it in a day, in this era, such bookstores seem to be rare, Gu Qingniao has seen too many bookstores, and now the bookstore, more sources of income come from teaching aids, as for this bookstore, the room is full of "skilled" ones, it is simply wonderful, to say that it can make money, Gu Qingniao but don't believe it, but in this way, the first bookstore appeared in front of Gu Qingniao, It's like finding a very large treasure that will shock even those who don't read books often.

Lanling was also taken aback by the books in this room, but he was awake earlier than Gu Qingniao, so he turned his head, looked at the old woman's smiling face, and said, "Hello, is it Grandma Li Subai Li?" ”

When the old man heard Lanling say the name Li Subai, his face immediately became more solemn, he put the book in his hand on the table, looked at Gu Qingniao and Lanling, and asked, "Huh?" You two are not local Xuanmen people, you are both from other places? I haven't seen you, how did you find me here? ”

Lan Ling smiled and said: "That's the case, it was the local supporter who recommended us to come to you, I want to find some information, my girlfriend is a local, but she has recently entered the Xuanmen, so it's normal for you not to know, this is the first time she has come home after officially becoming a Xuanmen person, just come to visit the seniors, and solve the problems on her body by the way." Recently, she encountered some troubles, someone was spying on her home, and forced marriage, we suspect that there is probably some organization behind the trouble, but we are not very familiar with the local Xuanmen people, so we found the local support, after inquiring got a possibility, I plan to know more, and then the old man recommended you here, saying that all the Xuanmen records are hidden here, we will come to visit, I hope to get your permission, let us look at some of the records of the year. ”

The old man Li Subai looked at Lanling's appearance, she didn't have a god position, so naturally she couldn't feel any breath about the god position, so she didn't get any news at all, but since she was the person who was introduced by the support, Li Subai didn't doubt it, after all, the people in this world who knew that all the information was hidden here were very limited, and it was just some information, and it was not a treasure, and no one would covet it, so she nodded and said, "Then you come with me!" ”

As he spoke, the old man brought a flashlight from the side and walked towards the small door facing the bookstore. The ancient bluebird has long noticed this small door, the inside of the small door is pitch black, I don't know where it leads, because this person is someone's territory, so the ancient bluebird is not good to directly see through the past, but now the old man took the initiative to take them in, the ancient bluebird is clear, this is probably the place where those materials are hidden. So he excitedly followed, and Gu Qingniao was eager to see what kind of scene was behind this door. So after entering the back door, the ancient bluebird couldn't help but open the eyes of God, under the eyes of God, all the darkness became indifferent, all the scenes were clearly seen by the ancient bluebird, and then he was shocked by the scene behind this room. She never expected that at the back of the room, there was such a huge space, and after coming out of the back door, Gu Qingniao saw a space as wide as the room outside, but it extended infinitely into the distance. And in such a space, there is a path extending from the small door to the distance, and on both sides of the path, there are densely packed bookshelves, and the bookshelves are all books!

So many books! Gu Qingniao couldn't imagine how many years it would take for so many books to accumulate to be able to gather so many books together, and in the space at the back door of the first small bookstore, they were lying quietly here, and Gu Bluebird even saw some of the lone books that had been out of print and no longer printed, this space was simply a treasure trove! And the ancient bluebird also noticed, this space was actually repaired later, originally this row of façade rooms only after they entered the door to see which room, and the back should have been a yard, but it turned out to be like this, the ceiling can be seen to be an old-fashioned house roof structure, but there is no omission, this space is also very dry, so these books are quite well preserved, although some may be deformed because of the extrusion, but in general, The books here are very valuable treasures.

While Gu Qingniao was shocked, Lanling was also a little surprised. Lanling is a person who has seen a big scene, many large libraries, in fact, a simple library is almost the same scale, but now they are not in a library, but a personal library, and it seems that the business is not too good, in contrast, the ancient blue bird feels the lowbee of the ancient green eaves, the same is to open a bookstore, look at the heritage of others, and then look at your heritage! It's not too embarrassing, okay? But think about it, Gu Qingwei has only been working hard for a few years? How can it be compared with others for a lifetime? The old lady doesn't know how many years she has saved to save such a large piece of family foundation, but it seems that no one can inherit this piece of family foundation, and she doesn't know what kind of fate it will be in the future, so Gu Qingniao and Lanling are a little helpless, the two of them glanced at each other, and a look of pity appeared on their faces.

When Li Subai's old woman saw their appearance, she knew what they were thinking, so she said with a smile: "This shop was left by our old man, and then my son didn't want to continue here, went to school, looked for a job, and made a lot of money, people are willing, I can't force him to give up his good future and come back to nest in this small place with me, right?" You young people today all advocate freedom and like nothing without constraints, but all of us understand that who can have too much freedom in life? It's enough to be able to find a place you like and do something you like for a lifetime, but what do you want too much? So, since the child doesn't like it, I don't force it, as for my shop, it will definitely be sold in the future, my old man is gone, my son doesn't want to inherit, this small façade house, his income is definitely not eye-catching, so in the future, I will not be there, let people take away these materials, as for these books, I actually don't have too much nostalgia, although they are saved one by one, but the book is the book, and it is already very satisfying to be able to read it, and I plan to let people take it out and sell it cheaply in the futureJust like in the second-hand book market, let people who like books come and take a look, buy what they like, and don't have to spend too much money and don't want to be able to transfer much money, at least they can earn funeral expenses, and let these books accompany me in the last way, I will be satisfied. When you arrive, this is the place where the materials are hidden, and the second and third floors of this row of bookshelves are the materials of that era that you want, you look at them first, and I have to go outside to look at the store, and then come out after reading them. ”

Lanling and Gu Qingniao nodded, turned on the two table lamps next to them, and then watched the old lady leave, they were all a little emotional, the Xuanmen people in this city gave them too many surprises, gave them too many surprises, whether it was their attitude towards life, or the way of life, they made Gu Qingniao and Lanling sigh, they were very envious of such a life, but fundamentally speaking, they were not destined to be able to get such a life, so they could only have envy.

The two men sat down in front of the lamp and began to look through the materials on the shelves. They originally thought that these materials might be as boring as those historical materials, and it would be very troublesome to find the corresponding things, but they didn't expect that such materials were recorded in a very humane way, not so much as materials, but like diaries, in earlier times, they were handwritten, and later they were also printed, but the form was the same. Every day of the year, there is a simple record, recording what happened today, if not, skip it, start with a list of several major events, and then follow the relevant investigation process and the truth of the story, they look at these materials as if they are biographies. The text on it is very beautiful, it looks like a woman's handwriting, Gu Qingniao and Lanling looked at these materials, and they could imagine in their minds that in that turbulent era, a woman sat at her desk and simply recorded the things in the city one by one, from young to white.
