Chapter 116: Shocking Upheaval
Looking at Aunt Chengzhen's eyes, I have to say that I am sensitive.
After all, my acquaintance with her was only accidental, and we didn't get along for more than a day.
If it weren't for the natural affection for her, I would never have rashly called her Aunt Chengzhen, a title that even I found weird, but instinctively called her so.
Obviously, this kindness only comes from myself, and it does not mean that she has such kindness to me.
What's more, in such a short time together, trust is okay, if how important is it? I'm not sure myself.
My sensitivity comes from Ren Xiaoxuan, a young man who is so decent in the Snow Mountain Pulse that he can do almost whatever he wants.
Did I offend him in the inner city, this beam can't be unraveled, so Aunt Chengzhen has to drive me and Brother Zhengchuan away under pressure?
Such thoughts make my heart somewhat desolate and cold.
It seems that the circle of cultivators is not as big as the reality of human feelings, and Brother Zhengchuan and I don't have the protection of the teacher, and we are just wandering duckweed.
I watched Aunt Chengzhen's expression gradually change from a hint of kindness to calmness, which is understandable, but emotionally not necessarily acceptable to this.
At the moment, I didn't say much, I hugged my fist at Aunt Chengzhen, and said in a somewhat light tone: "Then Brother Zhengchuan and I will leave immediately, and from now on, the mountains and rivers will be far away, but Elder Chengzhen's care in the ghost market, Ye Zhengling must remember it." When he sees him again in the future, he will definitely repay Elder Chengzhen for this kindness. ”
"You" Aunt Chengzhen obviously hasn't adapted to my sudden change, and even the title has changed from Aunt Chengzhen to Elder Chengzhen.
But I didn't explain much, so I pulled Brother Zhengchuan and turned around and walked down the mountain.
But Brother Zhengchuan grabbed me and said, "Third child, what's wrong with you?" Aunt Chengzhen also said before that she had something to tell you, what do you mean by suddenly leaving like this? ”
At the same time, Aunt Chengzhen's slightly funny voice also came from behind us: "You kid, do you think you're making a martial arts movie?" From now on, the mountains and rivers are far away, and there will be retribution! Even if the circle of cultivators is still a river and lake, don't forget that it is now the 21st century. ”
I was a little embarrassed by Aunt Chengzhen's two ridicules.
However, thinking of her decision to let us leave overnight, my expression couldn't help but be a little colder.
Brother Zhengchuan was a little confused, but Aunt Chengzhen walked up to me step by step and said, "I want you to leave overnight, I don't mean to drive you away." In the snowy mountains, the person I Ji Chengzhen admires, even if the emperor Lao Tzu comes, it is impossible to drive him away, don't you think it's Ren Xiaoxuan, right? ”
I was embarrassed all of a sudden, but I didn't expect that this elder with a similar vein seemed to have the ability to read minds, and in just a few words, he said what I thought in my heart.
"Third child, how did you become so sensitive?" Brother Zhengchuan couldn't help but ask me.
But Aunt Chengzhen looked at me with a smile, and then said to Brother Zhengchuan quite meaningfully: "He is too eager to be recognized for himself, and this matter may be his heart knot, so he is particularly sensitive in this regard." ”
Brother Zhengchuan heard this, glanced at me, and was silent again.
But I was really caught in my heart, why would I mind so much that Aunt Chengzhen drove us away because of Ren Xiaoxuan? In the final analysis, it's just because the attention I have always received is because of Nie Yan's identity, not Ye Zhengling himself.
Aunt Chengzhen, as an elder whom I respect in my heart, and without knowing Nie Yan's identity, I hope that she will recognize and value me because of Ye Zhengling herself.
After all, I still can't cross these inner turmoil, Aunt Chengzhen's judgment is very accurate, this can be called a heart knot.
Although the owner of the tomb had said something to me about this before, if it weren't for my real experience and experience, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to understand the deep meaning of the words.
Fortunately, neither Brother Zhengchuan nor Aunt Chengzhen had any intention of continuing on this topic.
Brother Zhengchuan was pondering, and Aunt Chengzhen just looked at me again with a deep meaning, but after a whistle, someone led two horses to us.
"Let's go, this is not the place to talk." Aunt Chengzhen just said such a short sentence and took the lead in getting on the horse.
Brother Zhengchuan and I glanced at each other, took the horses brought by the comer, followed the figure of Aunt Chengzhen, and galloped towards the bottom of the mountain.
The mountain road was bumpy, and it was not at all as smooth as riding a horse on the plains, until I, a man who did not often ride horses, reached an unbearable distance, and Aunt Chengzhen stopped at a col near the foot of the mountain.
The three of us dismounted here, but I didn't expect that after dismounting, there would be two people wearing white robes from the snow-capped mountains here, carrying the luggage of me and Brother Zhengchuan.
"Ye boy, shouldn't you be sensitive again?" Aunt Chengzhen's tone was somewhat ridiculous.
But I blushed when I said it, fools know this preparation, Aunt Chengzhen definitely didn't have anything to drive us away and calm people's hearts, but there was really a big thing, so she had to do this.
Just when I didn't know what to say, Aunt Chengzhen had already signaled the two subordinates to put down their luggage and leave first.
It wasn't until she saw that the two of them had walked away that Aunt Chengzhen's expression changed, from the way she teased me easily just now, to become extremely solemn, but it seemed that things were very tricky, and she had a bit of a taste of wanting to talk and stopping.
She is an elder, and Brother Zhengchuan and I are naturally not easy to urge, so we can only wait for the following.
After being silent like this for a few seconds, Aunt Chengzhen sighed, and the first sentence at the beginning turned out to be "Ye Zhengling, Tang Zhengchuan, I already know your identity." Especially Ye Zhengling, I probably know seven or eight points about you. ”
Hearing Aunt Chengzhen speak like this, Brother Zhengchuan and I couldn't help frowning and looking at each other, what did this opening remark mean?
"I have no ill intentions, I just want to tell you that I have to let you leave overnight on the premise that I know something, and your whereabouts of coming to the ghost market have been revealed. If you have already left, or you can avoid the fight coming early, otherwise," Aunt Chengzhen did not continue.
Naturally, I understood Aunt Chengzhen's words, and was about to ask a question, but I didn't want Aunt Chengzhen to interrupt my questioning, but said directly: "If you talk about fighting, Snow Mountain is not afraid of anyone." Besides, in this matter, the Snow Mountain will stand up sooner or later. But now is definitely not the time to be able to fight on a large scale, and I, as the head of the righteous path, if I fall into a fight, it is almost an attitude and signal of all-round development. ”
"This matter is not something that we want to see now, whether it is in the snowy mountains or on the other side. So, when you leave, there is still room to maneuver, and you can still maintain a temporary peace. Speaking of this, Aunt Chengzhen also frowned slightly, with some helplessness between her heroic eyebrows.
For fear that the explanation to us was not careful enough, so that we would misunderstand that the snow mountain was unwilling to shelter us or cowered.
If a person has nothing to worry about, he can naturally be happy with enmity, but if it involves a sect, there are too many things involved.
I understand Aunt Chengzhen, but I definitely don't want to leave in such a hurry without knowing anything.
Even though I had seven or eight guesses in my heart, I couldn't help but ask: "It seems that someone is coming at me and Brother Zhengchuan." Aunt Chengzhen, can you tell me? ”
"Actually, I don't need you to ask, I must say who it is? Because it has to do with the next thing I'm going to talk about to you. And Ye Zhengling, you are a demon hunter, right? Recently, you have been the most prominent in the demon hunter circle, and this matter must be known through many channels soon after you go down the mountain. As she spoke, Aunt Chengzhen frowned again.
This time, I clearly saw something unbearable in her eyes.
The bad feeling in my heart reappeared, this time even exploding in my heart, obviously it was just a subtle psychological feeling, but my hands couldn't help but tremble.
I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, trying to suppress this panic, yes, the main thing was the feeling of panic, I finally found the expression that I was ready to express, and then looked at Aunt Chengzhen intently.
The unbearable on Aunt Chengzhen's face was even heavier, but there was no reason not to say it.
After being silent for a long time, she said: "There are only a few hundred demon hunters alive today, and they have suddenly been hunted down on a large scale in the past few days. After I got the news, although I united several decent people, I secretly saved it. But the demon hunter family has also been uprooted several times, and the demon hunters have suffered heavy casualties. ”
"What?" My heart shook so hard that I almost couldn't stand on my feet.
The first thing that came to mind was Tina and Su Ling, and then the faces of the demon hunters I had seen? Finally, it was fixed on the face of Emperor Tong.
This guy is so arrogant, could it be that he couldn't stop this qiē encounter?
"Zhengling!" Brother Zhengchuan stepped forward and placed a warm palm on my shoulder, conveying a kind of support and strength to me.
I clenched my fists, but I still couldn't control the trembling of my voice: "What about the Huo Nie family?" ”
