Chapter 365: It's Close

Mu Duo's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he was surprised: "You actually know what happened a hundred years ago?"

Without waiting for Luoyu to answer, he laughed and clapped his hands in praise: "It seems that I still underestimate you! People who have the ability to participate and survive to tell stories are not ordinary." And with that your opinion......"

Mu Duo leaned forward, stared at Luo Yu's eyes, and said firmly, "I guess, if you are not from a cultivation family with ancient origins, you are a disciple of some hidden old monster. How's that? Did I guess right?"

Mu Duo raised his eyebrows, looking proud, and only regarded Luoyu's stunned appearance as a default to his guess, where can he imagine, Luoyu was actually stunned by his rich imagination.

Just when he asked, "Do you even know what happened a hundred years ago", Luoyu woke up again!

How could he suddenly mention the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon? Could it be that his state of mind was unintentionally influenced by the other party, and he subconsciously said everything he knew?

Fortunately, Mu Duo's guess is not reliable, otherwise Luoyu would really want to smack himself in the mouth.

didn't answer his words, Luoyu was trying to eliminate the impetuousness in his mood, and if he said too much, he would lose, and he firmly believed that it was more secure for him not to squeak.

"Guest, please come with me. ”

A heavenly voice sounded in Luoyu's ears, and he saw that the shopkeeper was already standing a few steps away, his polite posture was even better than before, and there was even a touch of seriousness in his words and deeds.

Luoyu hurriedly got up, pretending to be reluctant and regretful, confessed to Mu Duo, and left with the shopkeeper in a happy mood.

The two came to the backyard and completely left the hustle and bustle of the restaurant, and the young shopkeeper said, "The things you want have been prepared, but before leaving, I want to ask you to meet someone." ”

"Who is it?" Luo Yu was naturally a little surprised, but he was not as surprised as when he met Mu Duo, after all, the wooden plaque was given to him by the master, and at first glance, it had some relationship with Twilight Shadow Zhai.

The young shopkeeper didn't hide it, "An elder in my family. ”

"Oh, well. ”

Seeing Luoyu agree, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, if Luoyu was unwilling, in fact, he had no way to force Luoyu to do anything.

The inside and outside of the courtyard behind the restaurant are all the residences of the servants of the Twilight Shadow Zhai, including the master's family.

The shopkeeper immediately led Luoyu into the front hall of this courtyard, where the two maids were a rich old man. The maids were motionless, like statues, and Luo Yu naturally set his eyes on the old man.

The old man is also a monk, but he is indeed not young. The aging rate of the monk is very slow, his cultivation is higher than the real realm of Luoyu, how can he have a lifespan of hundreds of years, but now it is not difficult to feel that the vitality of the old man is very weak, intermittent, and it is the real wind and candle in his last years.

Just like an ordinary old man, the old man looks a little old and dizzy. When he saw Luoyu, he seemed very excited, as if he had a stomach full of words to say, but he couldn't speak clearly with trembling.

Luoyu looked at the young shopkeeper and saw that he was just standing aside with his hands down, and he didn't mean to help the old man explain.

Looking at the age gap between the two again, Luoyu felt that the difference between them should not be one generation or two generations, the shopkeeper only called him "elder" before, it is very likely that the old man's generation is too big, and if he is not called an elder, he can only be called an ancestor.

Since this is the case, Luoyu can only wait patiently for the old man to adjust his mood.

The old man held the small wooden plaque in both hands, and after brewing for a long time, he finally squeezed out a few words: "Descendants of Engong, aren't you?"

Luoyu looked dazed and said blankly: "Uh...... I don't know about this. This is what my master gave me this morning, and he ...... Didn't say anything. ”

"Your master, too. The old man popped out a few more words, but it made Luoyu even more confused.

The old man was also a little anxious, and said, "Your master, how old are you?"

Luo Yu hesitated slightly, "More than a hundred years old, right?"

The old man shook his head vigorously after hearing this, and said intermittently: "It's not him, it's not him, he's also ......."

Luoyu was embarrassed to bother, and finally waited for the old man to smooth out his words, "He is too, the descendant of his benefactor." ”

"Oh. ”

The old man stretched out one hand, spread his five fingers, and held the wooden sign in the other hand, and began to speak more and more smoothly: "Five hundred years ago, Engong saved my life. The situation was special that year, and before I could ask the name of the benefactor, I hurriedly sent this wooden plaque...... It's the hope that one day we can see you again. ”

The old man shook his head and sighed: "Don't dare to talk nonsense, our wine is still a little famous." I thought, as long as Engong doesn't die, he still has to drink and eat, right? But yes, I've been waiting for more than 500 years, and I haven't expected him to come. Kid, what kind of family are you from?"

Luo Yu understood the reason for the matter, and he couldn't bear to tell the truth, but seeing the old man's eager look looking at him, he couldn't help but say, "I...... It's a disciple of the Qingning Sect. ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief: "How could it be? How could it be?......?"

Twilight Shadow has lived here for generations, and the elders and disciples of the Qingning Sect are his family's biggest customers.

Since Luoyu has already said it, there is no need to hide his identity, so he simply took out the identity nameplate.

The old man's eyes lit up, and he turned back to the light, and he actually snatched the nameplate neatly. Rubbing the sword-like sign, his body gradually trembled.

Suddenly, the old man began to cry, "I've been looking for so many years...... Waited for so many years...... It turns out that the benefactor is far away in the sky, close in front of him...... It was right next to me, but I didn't know ......"

Luoyu looked at the old man helplessly, crying with a handful of snot and tears. He obviously knew the Qingning Sect very well, and after seeing the nameplate, he didn't ask any more questions, but wailed: "I can't see it, I can't see it again...... It's a pity that Engong is famous, and he hasn't lived me as a bad old man, it's because I'm incompetent...... Woohoo......"

Maybe it was the fulfillment of a long-cherished wish for many years, but it was found that it was such a result, and the old man's spirit was a little trance.

The shopkeeper finally came forward, returned the nameplate held by the old man to Luoyu, and took out the storage bag for the wine and food, and sent him out of the door, leaving the old man alone still sobbing and whispering in the hall, and the two maids around him were still motionless, like statues.

Luoyu thanked the shopkeeper, this little episode was a little far away from him, but it also made him feel emotional.

It seems that the old man already knows the identity of his benefactor, but the younger generation of Luoyu is so confused that he can't remember who was on Yinyu Peak five hundred years ago. The sect will admit a group of new disciples in a few decades, five hundred years, that is at least ten generations and eight generations ago, right?

Luoyu sighed and sighed, almost going straight back. Walking to the door of the wine shop, he suddenly remembered that when the shopkeeper called him away, the reason he told Mu Duo was that he had left beforehand. In that backyard just now, there was a formation of isolation perception, and he should have gone back directly, why did he inadvertently go around to the door of the wine shop? Wouldn't it be exposed to his sight again?
