I looked at my father in the photo, he was very young, I guess he was twenty-seven or eighteen years old at that time, and he didn't have me. The toad is even more of a talent, if it weren't for the fact that he was too short, he would basically be a phenomenal version of the rich and handsome! In the background, it looks like a section of the Great Wall in some place, which is already dilapidated, adding a touch of vicissitudes to the two of them.

I would never have thought that my father, Gu Wenzhong, would be friends with such an ugly face and extremely selfish person in front of him.

"Toad, you and my father?" I was stunned for a moment before I opened my mouth to ask.

"We are friends, very good friends." The toad said, "But that's all in the past now. ”

"The thing on your face, oh, what you call an accident, has something to do with my father?" I asked.

"Huh!" The toad sneered: "If it's okay, I'll show it to you!" ”

I glanced at the second uncle, and the second uncle shook his head slightly, indicating that he had never known the relationship between the toad and his father Gu Wenzhong. From the seventh master, I learned that this toad is a famous robber in the rivers and lakes, what he fancies, his first reaction is to steal, if he can't steal, he simply robs it directly, of course, the most disgraceful thing is that these things he fancy also include beautiful girls.

His status in the rivers and lakes is similar to Tian Boguang, the lone ranger in "Smiling Proud Jianghu", like a rat crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats.

However, if the father and the toad were friends, it would be a little strange for the seventh master to agree to the toad's joining.

The seventh master and his father Gu Wenzhong are old acquaintances, and they are still close friends, if the toad and his father are also so good, there should be some intersection between the seventh master and the toad.

"That's it." The second uncle smiled and waved his hand: "Toad, just say it, what do you want?" In other words, what is the purpose of the ten secret realms you are looking for?! ”

"Money! Medicine! The toad replied quite succinctly.

"You need medicinal herbs too?!" I frowned, and the toad across from me nodded, indicating that it was.

A conspiracy theory floated through my mind: I suddenly felt that I was involved in a deep whirlpool of chess, a game played by one person or even many people, and I was just one of the pawns.

A year ago, my goal was to help Liang Dong find Hanjia, and halfway through the operation, the goal was to find Hanjia for Liang Dong or Xu Zeming; After finding Han Jia, I thought it would be over, but I didn't expect the action of the Ten Secret Realms to start again - only this time the target became a medicinal herb!

The bigger difference is that at first, I was passive when I joined in, and at that time I thought it would be good to be able to find out the cause of my father's death. But so far, I haven't found any clues about the cause of my father's death, but my role has changed: from passive to active. Because I want to find the Sun Moon Lotus to heal the premature aging phenomenon of our Gu family.

Another important point, at the beginning, all of us served Liang Dong or Xu Zeming, but now, it seems that all of us have become self-serving!

Now think about it, why the Seventh Master, who had withdrawn from the rivers and lakes for several years, suddenly reappeared in the rivers and lakes, and why the Budai monks, who had almost never appeared in the world, went out to the mountains to hunt for treasures, and they had already found a reason - their purpose was not Hanjia, but to find medicines such as Sun Moon Lotus.

Of course, this is only what I can speculate at this stage, and it is unknown whether things will change after that.

What worries me even more is that there seem to be more and more people dragged in by this matter, and when you look at it, the Taiwanese, Xu Zeming, Liang Dong and Chai Lao Wu, these four forces are a bit tricky and elusive, they affect the general direction of the development of things, but they cannot control the development of the whole thing.

In addition, there are not a few of the Seventh Master and the Budai monk, as well as the current toads and those who have not yet appeared. I even think that the whole thing is controlled by one person or one team, but at the end of the day, it's hard to say whether they can handle it or not.

"Toad, what do you think ......" I wanted to ask the toad, but I opened my mouth, but I didn't know how to ask, and after a pause, I smiled bitterly: "Forget it, let me tell you, Xu Zeming is going to bury his father in the Taiji halo, tentatively scheduled for the day of the beginning of autumn, it has been less than a month, so ......"

I originally wanted to tell the toad that we were pressed for time and might not be looking for the Ten Secret Realms within a month, but the second uncle took over and said, "Go!" Within this month, you can find another place in the top ten secret realms, and this time you will go to Tianshan Medicine Garden! ”

I was stunned, glanced at the second uncle, and thought to myself, why is the second uncle so anxious this time?

The toad also seemed a little surprised, frowned and asked, "W-When are you going?" ”

"Tomorrow!" The second uncle said.

The toad nodded: "Okay, then I'll come over early tomorrow morning to gather." ”

After that, this person took back the photo in my hand, glanced at me and my second uncle, and turned to leave.

"Second uncle?" I looked at the toad's back and was a little puzzled: "Why did you agree to take him?" Also, it's been less than a month, and Xu Zeming is now annoyed and angry, aren't you afraid that he will bury the old general alive in advance?! ”

"No, it won't." The second uncle said with a smile: "Think about it, if it is buried on the day of the beginning of autumn, it will take at least a few years to send it quickly, and compared with a month in these years, Xu Zeming will naturally choose to wait for the beginning of autumn." Secondly, my premature aging phenomenon is already a little uncontrollable, and if I don't find Sun Moon Lotus as soon as possible, I'm afraid ......"

The second uncle stopped at this point, sighed, and his face was a little ugly.

"Second uncle, when I was in the old mansion, I once thought about something." I whispered: "According to the age of my grandfather, my father and you, I should have had premature aging before the age of twenty, but at least until now, I haven't felt that my body has premature aging. You must know that from grandpa to grandpa, the speed of premature aging is not so fast, but normal. ”

The second uncle was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and nodded in a deep voice: "Xiaorui, your idea is possible, I have to think about it, what happened before that will make our grandfather and son appear greatly advanced......

"This time, you're going?" I watched my second uncle pacing a few steps in the front hall and asked again.

The second uncle nodded: "I'll go!" This time it's very important, Sun Moon Lotus, no matter how many, we're going to get it anyway! You informed Liang Ruoyi and the Seventh Master that there was something abnormal in my body, and I needed to find the Sun Moon Lotus as soon as possible, so we will go to Tianshan early tomorrow morning! I'm going to book a plane ticket now. ”

I nodded, and watched my second uncle walk into the counter to book a ticket, and suddenly felt empty in my heart, as if someone had suddenly been evacuated......

An hour later, after everyone was notified, my second uncle and I packed up our things and waited for the next day's departure.

Liang Ruoyi They didn't have a reason to doubt me, after all, the second uncle's white hair and muscles that had already shrunk a little were all in their eyes.

Early the next morning, Liang Ruoyi and the others came to the antique shop on time, I told them about the toad in advance, and they also felt that we needed to add someone who could help us at this time, so they did not object to the toad returning to the team.

That night, we stayed in a hotel in Wushi, we studied the map from the Hanjia, the second uncle already knew which one was, so with his "help", we quickly determined which one was the Tianshan Medicine Garden, Liang Ruoyi found that the place was really inaccessible after comparison, and found a local aboriginal to be our tour guide overnight, which was also an added security.

I've been worried in my heart, the second uncle didn't hand over his complete map, I know, this is a backhand left by him, so that whether it's looking for the Sun Moon Lotus or escaping when in danger, we have the first opportunity......
