Chapter 459: Tell the Wine to the Heart
I rushed in after him and saw him in a cupboard where food was kept, shivering and shivering.
Zhao Dekai went crazy, his tongue was cut out, and when I tried to get him out of the cupboard, I realized that we would never get any information about the funeral religion from his mouth.
After leaving the supply point, I also tried to find the footprints of another person, but I searched for a long time with my scope, but I didn't find the footprints of that person.
I took Zhao Dekai back to the Baiwu Mountain General Altar, and Old Man Wei found someone to take him over.
Zhao Dekai is obviously my enemy, but I don't know why, seeing his current appearance, my heart is unusually heavy.
At this point, the turmoil in Baiwu Mountain is finally over, Yan Xiaotian still has a lot of messes to deal with, and he has been running around all corners of the Baiwu Mountain General Altar for two consecutive days, and he has not had time to come to us. And because I had to wait for Senior Brother Zhuang to come over and take over, I never left.
During this period, I got in touch with the corpse keeper, after all, Di Guangtong is the disciple of the corpse keeper, how to deal with him, I still have to ask Di Baoquan's opinion.
Before making this call, I thought that Di Baoquan would at least propose to send Di Guangtong back to the corpse keeper lineage, but he first thanked me for helping the corpse keeper line clean up the portal, and then told me that Di Guangtong had been removed from the division family tree a month ago, and now his life and death have nothing to do with the corpse keeper lineage.
It was only later that I figured out that now the Burial Sect is now the public enemy of the righteous path, and for these sects, any person who has a close relationship with the Funeral Sect is a hot coal, and no one wants to touch it.
Therefore, for people like Di Guangtong, it is most appropriate for Senior Brother Zhuang to deal with it.
Senior Brother Zhuang still has some things to deal with, and promised to lead the team to Baiwu Mountain within half a month at the latest.
One day, Senior Brother Zhuang called me to tell me that the alms that Yi Qingping had "stolen" from me had been recovered, and he had remitted the money to my account.
Also on the same day, the old master suddenly decided to abdicate and officially designated Yan Xiaotian as the person who took over the position of the faction.
Baiwu Mountain has been established for more than 2,000 years, and for the first time, there have been two hidden elders reigning at the same time, and since the collapse of the ghost market in Baiwu Mountain, Yan Xiaotian has also become the first to be supported by the major clans, although the most fundamental reason for such support is because Yan Xiaotian has mastered their lifeline.
Liang Houzai said that the reason why the old master was so anxious to pass on the throne to Yan Xiaotian should be that he was worried that there would be changes later, after all, the major clans were only respectful to Yan Xiaotian on the surface, but in fact they still had their own plans, if they waited for these clans to ease up, it was even possible to use the matter of Yan Xiaotian and Jisoul Village joining forces to squeeze Yan Xiaotian, anyway, in the past thousand years, the elders of Baiwu Mountain have always regarded Jisoul Village as the biggest enemy of Baiwu Mountain.
And once the old master became a hidden elder, he also became a horn bearer. The old master was different from the other hidden elder, his attitude towards Jisoul Zhuang and Yan Xiaotian was very clear, once he grasped the power of life and death over the major clans, he would definitely fully support Yan Xiaotian. At that time, the major clans will not have the strength to turn over.
Now, even if the major clans can see through the old master's plan, they have no ability to stop it, and a great storm has just passed, which is when Yan Xiaotian is the strongest and the major clans are the weakest.
Here, I plan to mention the matter of the fierce god again, the reason why we didn't see him when we passed through the gate of Baiwu Mountain was because Yan Xiaotian was about to storm the old master's dark room at that time, and those outsiders stationed near the dark room planned to make a last stand, wanting to take the old master hostage and escape from Baiwu Mountain, the fierce god felt that the old master was in danger, so he ran to rescue him in a panic.
And the person who took Zhao Dekai out of Baiwu Mountain also saw such an opportunity. Liang Houzai even suspected that the reason why the outsiders near the dark room had the idea of kidnapping the old master was probably related to this person.
The next day, Yan Xiaotian's succession ceremony was held as scheduled, and he sent me an invitation, but I felt that as an outsider, it was really inconvenient for me to participate in this kind of grand ceremony, and besides, I just wanted to have a good rest now, and I didn't want to go to the false faces of the major clans of Baiwu Mountain, so I simply didn't go.
From five o'clock in the morning, the main altar of Baiwu Mountain became noisy, and Liang Houzai and I sat in the dark room of the old master to study the chess games, and Liang Houzai proposed to set up the chessboard to play against me, and by the way, confirm the chess moves on the chess scores.
I simply refused, knowing very well in my heart that with my intelligence, playing chess with him was purely uncomfortable.
After a few hours, the sound of gongs and drums outside finally stopped. I breathed a long sigh of relief and said to myself, "Why hasn't Senior Brother Zhuang come yet, staying in this place, I'm feeling irritable." β
As soon as I finished complaining, someone knocked on the door outside the dark room, and then I heard Yan Xiaotian shouting outside: "Do you have any wine, I have a bottle of good wine here." β
I walked over and opened the door, and Yan Xiaotian was standing outside the door grinning at me, holding a large white porcelain bottle in his hand.
I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows and asked him, "Why did you come here, isn't it your succession ceremony today?" We don't have anyone to drink. β
Yan Xiaotian put his arms around my neck and said to me with a smile: "I just want to find someone to talk to now, go, and talk to my brother for ten yuan." β
I also laughed: "If you really give money, I'll talk to you for a thousand yuan." β
Yan Xiaotian pulled me out of the house while having fun.
He led me through a few streets to an ancient building next to the Hundred Refining Hall, every ancient building in the Baiwu Mountain General Altar was in disrepair, and this one was no exception, just looking at the sunken roof, I felt that it was about to collapse.
But Yan Xiaotian insisted on taking me up to the top floor, and to be honest, when the soles of my feet stepped on the wooden stairs, I doubted that those old wooden planks could withstand my weight.
Fortunately, there was no danger on this road, and the two of us still came up alive.
Yan Xiaotian pushed open the window on the top floor, and from this direction he could see the top floor of the Hundred Refining Hall, where the lights were still on, but the place we were in was buried in shadows.
Yan Xiaotian opened the cap of the white porcelain bottle and asked me, "Do you want to drink?" β
I waved my hand at him: "Master has explained that you can't smoke or drink until you become an adult. β
Yan Xiaotian smiled, then raised his head and poured a large sip of liquor, and then said to me: "The first time I drank wine, I drank it with my master, when I had just turned eighteen. Hehe, don't look at my sister-in-law's gentle appearance, but the amount of wine is very large, and that time I was drunk by her, which is my coming-of-age ceremony. β
After that, Yan Xiaotian changed the topic again, he stretched out his hand out of the window, pointed to the old building that the light could not cover, and said: "There is nothing left in Baiwu Mountain now, only this piece of dilapidated old things, when I saw these old buildings in the past, I just thought they were old and dilapidated, but now, I don't know why, as soon as I see them, I feel that my heart is full of life." β
He seemed to say these words to me, and as if he was saying them to himself.
I also realized that he took great pains to call me out, not to communicate with me, but just to talk, and urgently needed someone to talk to.
He started talking from the time he first remembered, talked about his childhood, his youth, and has been talking until now. He said that he only met the old master who was classified as the head of the family after he was ten years old, and before that, he had been raised by Zhao Dekai. When he was fifteen years old, he met the twenty-year-old Ye Fanxin, and Zhao Dekai told him that Ye Fanxin would be his master in the future, and from then on, Yan Xiaotian still thought that he had a home in the real sense.
Yan Xiaotian also knew very well in his heart that Zhao Dekai had become a different person since he was ten years old, and he had become greedy and unscrupulous in order to achieve his goals, especially after the old master decided to preach to Yan Xiaotian, Zhao Dekai's relationship with him became more and more estranged.
But even so, Yan Xiaotian still chose to deceive himself, and he still chose to continue to believe in Zhao Dekai.
Yan Xiaotian said that when he was in Henan, Liu Shangang found the tracker from his car, he was not surprised at all, he knew that this day would come sooner or later, and he thanked Liu Shangang for finding that thing, at least in this way, Yan Xiaotian was not the first person to discover Zhao Dekai's ambitions.
At that time, Yan Xiaotian still believed that Zhao Dekai would one day be lost.
But he soon realized that he was too naΓ―ve, when I instigated him to come out to do industry, Yan Xiaotian almost did not hesitate, because he knew very well that Zhao Dekai had already killed him at that time, but because the old master had not dared to do anything to him, he needed a piece of his own industry, for him, having industry and money in his hand was equivalent to having a gold medal to save his life.
Speaking of the second half, Yan Xiaotian began to thank me non-stop, he said that he had been in Baiwu Mountain for so many years, and he had seen enough of the warmth and warmth of people and the false faces of the elders, and in the past he regarded the old master as a candle in this darkness, and it was this candle that shone in his heart, so that he did not fall in this desperate darkness. It wasn't until he met a few of us that he felt the light of day in the darkness for the first time.
Yan Xiaotian said that his ability to see people is innate, and anyone, as long as he looks at it, can roughly distinguish the quality and character of this person, but when he saw us, he had a very wonderful feeling for the first time.
He admitted frankly that he couldn't figure out Liang Houzai's character at all, but he knew that Liang Houzai was a very good person, at least very kind. As for me, when Yan Xiaotian first saw me, he originally thought I was a very rigid person, but after contact, he found out that I was only rigid on the surface, and deep down I was actually more dissolute than anyone else.
The word uninhibited, to be honest, I can still accept it, as for the word debauchery, I really ......
Since Yan Xiaotian was obviously drunk when he said these words, I didn't refute it, so I let him continue.
He said that all the things that we people have are what he has always wanted, but he has never been able to get, we have loyal friends around us, a master who loves us, and there is a momentum in us that is not afraid of heaven and earth. The longer he spent with us, the more he believed we could save him, and it turned out that he was right in his first thoughts.
Later, he talked about some trivial things that had happened in Baiwu Mountain over the years, and what dirty things he found after he took the major clans to occupy Baiwu Mountain.
It wasn't until Yan Xiaotian said that they had found the corpse of the hall master of the Golden Fire Hall in a cellar that he finally couldn't say any more, so he leaned against the window edge and drank sullen wine alone.
