Chapter 229: The Past
Ding put down the food in his hand and quickly entered a state of imminent battle.
If you do encounter an enemy here, you are the only one who can bring a chance to everyone. So, for all this time, he has been on high alert.
But soon, a sound loosened his tight strings.
There was a soft wolf howl outside.
In Chenlizong, there are no wolves. The only wolf that exists here is the fat dun who was captured with He Yan.
Prior to this, due to Fat Dun's spirituality, Yu Fei agreed to set up an area specifically for it in the Ministry of Medicine. He Yan took care of it herself, and hardly let anyone approach.
Before He Yan went to the Law Enforcement Academy, she didn't know how long she would stay. She habitually fed Fat Mound, and then left.
In this way, it has been almost half a month.
In fact, many times, Ding Qin and He Yan are worried about Fat Dun. After searching the corpse of the entire Chen Lizong and finding no trace of Fat Dun, Ding Qin was both disappointed and happy.
The loss is that there is no encounter with the fat dun. Happily, as long as it is not seen, it may still be alive.
And its howl just now almost made Ding Qin and He Yan jump.
"Fat dun!" Ding Qin called softly, and heard a special response outside.
This is the special voice of the fat dun when he is coquettish.
A moment later, Fat Dun jumped in through the window.
Compared with before, Fat Dun has lost a lot of weight.
It had a big wound on its back, but fortunately it had now scabbed over and was mostly healed.
Seeing Ding Qin and He Yan, Fat Dun screamed "woo" repeatedly, rubbing on the legs of the two people, and didn't care even if he touched the wound.
Ding Qin touched the fat dun and took a deep breath, controlling his emotions not to explode again at this time.
For him and He Yan, Fat Dun is no longer a simple wolf, but a real comrade-in-arms and partner.
On the other side, He Yan was already crying.
After waiting here for another two days, the three of them prepared to leave. During this time, Fat Dun replied with a waist card.
The waist card has been damaged, and the hole in the hanging has just been broken, so it will fall to the ground.
On the waist card, there are two words engraved: Shen Shou.
This is the same as the words carved on their bodies by those people in the Chenli Sect before.
With this waist card, Ding Qin could already conclude that it was Shen Shouzong's people who slaughtered Chen Lizong.
As for why they did this, Ding Qin didn't think about it, and he didn't want to think about it.
He just wants to go home now.
During the day, there were many people on Huanglong Island, but now that the Chenli Sect has been extinguished, the poison of the night stay will naturally subside. So, evening is the best time for them to act.
In the dead of night, Ding Qin relied on his mending shield to take the two of them and one dog out of the crater one after another. They chose a relatively safe place on Huanglong Island, stayed until dawn, and then took a boat back to an inn on the shore of Longtan Lake.
Although it was only less than 100 days, Ding Qin felt like a world away.
Ding Shouyi is even more emotional now. Here he is, and he has been locked up for more than three years. If Ding Qin doesn't show up again, he may be about to give up and insist on living.
He Yan helped Ding Shouyi recuperate for a few more days. After his spirit returned to the same as ordinary people, Ding Qin asked the question he had been asking all along.
"Dad, I'm in the Lingyin Continent, and I know that you found the Chenli Sect on Huanglong Island after reading the Xuanwu Monument in the Xuanwu Gate. However, that Xuanwu Monument, I got the guidance of a master to make a breakthrough. It is said that it uses the ancient grammar of breaking the formation, which has been lost for many years. So I've always been extremely curious about how you read it. ”
Ding Shouyi's face was covered with a layer of sadness, "You get the guidance of a master, and I also have the guidance of a master." It's just that you were pointing on the spot, and I was pointed out twenty years ago. ”
He sighed, "It's because of the long time that I haven't thought of this method for a while. ”
"Twenty years ago?" Ding Qin felt a little incredible, "Twenty years ago, weren't you only in your twenties? As far as I know, you were already working hard in the army at that time, and there were very few opportunities to meet high-ranking people when you went out. ”
Ding Shouyi's eyes were full of memories, "Hmm." Until I consulted the Xuanwu Monument, I didn't think she was a master. It wasn't until I consulted the Xuanwu Tablet in this way that I realized that she was far more mysterious than I had imagined. ”
Ding Qin followed his words and asked, "Who are you talking about her?"
Ding Shouyi said, "That's the love of my life, your mother." ”
After listening to this, Ding Qin trembled.
Mother?
Will my mother break the formation and read the law?
It is the bone soul in the sea of consciousness, and it is the same reaction.
You must know that even the four major gates on the Lingyin Continent don't know the method of breaking the formation and reading the text.
How would the mother know?
Could it be that she is also a person who exists beyond ordinary society?
Ding Shouyi said, "Actually, I have rarely talked to you about your mother all along. I don't think you should have known too much about you when you were young. Now it seems, it's time to tell you. ”
Ding Qin nodded, but he didn't know why he felt a little sour in his heart.
Ding Shouyi said, "Your mother's name is Cen Yin. Actually, I never knew where she came from. It was two years before you were born, and I was on a mission and was ambushed by a group of rebel enemies. ”
"After the bloody battle, my squad was almost wiped out, and only me and two other comrades escaped. However, on the way to escape, a comrade-in-arms was killed. ”
"I went into the jungle with another seriously wounded comrade. There, I tried my best to save him, but ten days later, he still didn't survive. In desperation, I prepared to return to the barracks alone. ”
"But I found myself lost in the jungle. Previously, in order to avoid the pursuit of the enemy, I went into the deepest part of the jungle. It's hard to get out. ”
"I walked in the jungle for five days. During these five days, survival was my only wish. Thankfully, my injuries were under control and there was no extreme weather. Otherwise, I will die in a foreign country like those comrades-in-arms. ”
"On the sixth day, I met a woman who was your mother. At that time, she was also seriously injured and was a little panicked. The two of us once regarded each other as enemies, and engaged in offensive and defensive maneuvers, until two days later, the truth was revealed. ”
After that, the two of us relied on each other for a month, and it took us a month to get out of the jungle. She refused to say much about her life experience, only that she was the daughter of a large family and ran away because she didn't want to be forced into marriage. ”
"After leaving the jungle, she insisted on following me. Seeing her desperate, I also felt pity, so I brought her back to Kaiyuan City. Later, the two of us fell in love for a long time, got married in Kaiyuan City, and gave birth to you. ”
"However, what I didn't expect was that shortly after you were born, several people came and took your mother away. Since then, it has been you and me. ”
Speaking of this, Ding Shouyi sighed heavily. "If it weren't for that time, my cultivation was too low to protect your mother, maybe now is the time for the three of us to be happily reunited. ”
Although Ding Qin listened to the emotions in his heart, he kept his head clear. He saw that his father's mood calmed down a bit, and then he asked again, "Then, what is the origin of those so-called people?"
Ding Shouyi said, "This, I don't know. For so many years, I have been trying to find a way to find your mother's whereabouts, but until I left the Xuanling Continent, there were no clues. At that time, your mother just left me a note with the word ugly yuan written on it. ”
"Ugly Yuan?" Ding Qin was slightly stunned. "But the ugliness of the rat and the ugly cow, the yuan of Kaiyuan City?"
Ding Shouyi nodded, "That's right, it's these two words." At first, I thought it was a personal name, but later it was confirmed through various channels that there were no people with ugly surnames on the Xuanling Continent. Later, I thought it was the name of the place, but it was empty. ”
"Not being able to find your mother is the biggest failure of my life. So when I left the Xuanling Continent, I wrote to you that if one day your cultivation surpasses mine, then go to your mother. ”
"Actually, I carried out the royal mission this time, and I had the heart of death. Otherwise, I wouldn't have written to you like that. ”
Ding Qin waited for him to finish before he slowly exhaled a breath and said, "Chou Yuan refers to the Chou Yuan Sect. It's not on the Xuanling Continent, and naturally you can't find it. ”
Ding Shouyi's eyes instantly had a layer of hope, "You mean, do you know where your mother is?"
Ding Qin shook his head. "I don't know where my mother is. But I know where the ugly Yuan Sect is. Well, that's right. Maybe it is precisely because of the relationship between the mother and the Chou Yuanzong that he will know the method of breaking the formation and reading the text. ”
Speaking of this, Ding Qin took out the rubbings of the ancient map on his body. "This is an ancient map, left by the Lingyuan Emperor of the Xuanling Empire. Above this, is the position of the whole world. In fact, what we saw originally was that the empire ruled one side, but it was only the appearance. On top of the empire, there are still twelve sects, and they are the masters of the world. ”
Ding Qin pointed to the location of the Lingyin Continent, "This is the Lingyin Continent, that is, the location where the Chiyan Mountain Chen Sect is hidden. And the Ugly Yuan Sect,"
He pointed to a medium-sized land that was farther away from the Lingyin Continent than from the Starlight Empire to the Lingyin Continent, "Here. ”
Where his finger was, there was a mark, Chou Yuan Island Chou Yuan Zong.
Ding Shouyi's face was solemn and he was silent. After a long time, he raised his head, "I'm going to find her, I'm going to find her!"
Ding Qin knew that Ding Shouyi would definitely make such a decision. However, in his heart, a decision was also made.
"No, you can't go. When he said this, Ding Qin's tone was cut at all, and his expression did not fluctuate in the slightest.
He looked into Ding Shouyi's eyes, "I'll go." ”
