Meng Changqing's protection has made me absolutely dependent on him, and every time I encounter something, the first thing I think of is him, rather than solving it myself. If you want to grow, it is not enough for the people around you to pass away, but to find the answers on your own and no longer rely on anyone.

I just packed up my things, Zhaowen next to me shook my arm, I looked up, but saw Meng Changqing staring at me at the door. When I saw him, I asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

"I'm going to go out to practice, I'm going to find the answer myself, this matter has been my business from the beginning, and you shouldn't be up to you to help me carry this black cauldron."

Meng Changqing was speechless for a long time after hearing this, and I kept looking at him, waiting for his answer, he stared at me for a long time before saying, "Since you have this determination, I won't stop you." Go back to Snake Head Village once every three months, and Xiaoxiao and I will be waiting for you there. Take my baggage, you take it too, I hope you can find the answer you want, let's go. ”

After Meng Changqing finished speaking, he threw his burden to me, and after I took it, I kowtowed to Meng Changqing, Meng Changqing hummed, and then turned around and brushed his sleeves away.

I stared at Meng Changqing's figure for a while, then picked up his and my baggage, and when I was about to leave, I saw Zhaowen next to me, so I said, "Your father is not worried that you are with me, did you see the person just now?" You go to him, and he can give you the best protection. ”

Zhaowen shook his head and said he didn't want to, I sighed, and then walked out of the house with my baggage.

Zhaowen saw that she followed all the way, and refused to stop until the entrance of the village, and I told her to go back several times, but she just shook her head vigorously.

Seeing that she usually didn't say anything to Meng Changqing, if she was left by Meng Changqing's side, it was estimated that she wouldn't be able to stand such a heavy atmosphere, so she took her on the road.

Zhaowen smiled when he saw that I had agreed to her on the road together, and then followed closely behind me, not leaving a single step behind.

Out of this thyme village, standing where we stood when we came, I could see Meng Changqing and them here, since everything was caused by me, they could be cleaner when I left.

It just so happened that the matter was settled here, although Li Hai did not explain it to us, but he could see his affection for Li Yan, but he took too radical path, first using extreme rune spells and the paralyzing effect of thyme, so that the villagers hallucinated, so that they saw the false scene of Li Yan messing with others, ruining Li Yan's reputation, and the original intention was to force Li Yan to marry him. But it backfired, Li Yan committed suicide, and the soul was separated, Li Hai thought that Li Yan's soul had been reincarnated, so he used more radical methods to raise Li Yan as a walking corpse, in order to resurrect Li Yan.

He hadn't seen Li Yan's soul yet, and he didn't know what Meng Changqing was going to do, but these were all inconsequential things, anyway, Meng Changqing would definitely not give Li Yan to Li Hai.

After looking at them who were still busy in the village for a while, they turned around and left here, and walked for almost half a day before opening Meng Changqing's baggage, and were surprised to find that in addition to the few books and Daomen magic weapons that Meng Changqing usually reads, the bronze bell that sealed Zhao Sansan's soul was also in it.

Zhao Sansan didn't want to be a ghost, if he was released at this time, he was afraid that he would do something to harm himself, so he took a look at the three clear bells and let them go.

After looking at Zhaowen, her lips were a little pale, obviously very thirsty, but she didn't say anything, I took her away after seeing it, went to a farmer's house to ask for a saliva to drink, and said: "In the future, if you are hungry, thirsty or unwell, you have to say it, otherwise it will be you who will be uncomfortable." ”

Zhaowen nodded after drinking the water.

After that, he asked the villagers about the direction of An Shunguan.

An Shunguan is not very far from here, so it is easy to ask for directions, and then take Zhaowen there.

We didn't go to the Anshun view until the afternoon, the Anshun view is still the previous furnishing layout, the stairs up the mountain have not changed, and we looked at the gate of the view, this temple is older than before, and no one has renovated it.

sighed for a while, and then took Zhaowen into the Taoist temple.

The Taoist temple was full of fresh faces, and I didn't see an acquaintance after walking for a while, and I didn't see the bearded prison until I entered the Sanqing Palace.

He also noticed me, frowned and thought for a while, but he didn't remember who I was, so he stepped forward and asked me if I was here to offer incense or to pray.

After I realized that I was Meng Changqing's apprentice, he suddenly realized that he hurriedly welcomed me and Zhaowen into the reception room of An Shunguan.

He still has the same temperament as before, and he talks as if he had eaten dynamite, but now that he speaks, he doesn't have the same panic as before, in fact, think about it, except for his louder voice and a bit tougher, everything else is pretty good.

He asked us about Meng Changqing's situation, and I answered them one by one, and I didn't ask him until the end about the ancestral land of the Meng family, that is, the hometown of Meng Weiye and Meng Changqing, and wanted to go there to see.

Meng Changqing has lived here for so long, and they naturally told us about the place where they used to live.

Seeing that Zhaowen and I were hungry, we let us eat in the temple before leaving.

Meng Changqing's place where they live is a certain distance from here, and it takes about a day to walk, and when we left, the bearded prison told us: "Both of you are not in normal physique, and it is easy to provoke dirty things, so you must be cautious outside." ”

After thanking the prison, he left the place.

In the evening, I used the money that Meng Changqing put in the baggage to find a place to live, and I originally opened two rooms, and just sent Zhaowen to the room, she went out again and followed me to my residence.

In the end, I had no choice but to watch her fall asleep before going to sleep in another room.

It wasn't until the next day, when it was almost noon, that we arrived at the ancestral land of the Meng family.

The village has almost become a deserted village, just look at a few old people who are about to die, walking on their waists.

Before entering the village, he saw the cemetery behind the village, and he was curious, so he took Zhaowen to look at the graves in the cemetery.

Half of these graves have the surname Meng, and half have the surname of him.

I was surprised to find that there were only two people who erected these tombstones surnamed Meng, one was Meng Changqing and the other was Mu Wantong.

After a careful search, the graves of Meng Changqing's parents, uncles and others were found in these graves.

After looking at the tomb, he took Zhaowen into the village.

When the old people in the village saw the two young people, they were naturally very welcome, saying that their village was lifeless, and we could come in to add more vitality.

There were still a dozen people in the village, and we settled in the old chief's house.

The old village chief is over 80 years old, his wife died a few years ago, and his descendants are working in other places.

When we asked about the current situation of the people surnamed Meng in the village, the old village chief took off the hookah in his mouth and said: "Where are the people with the surname Meng, all of them are dead, none of them are gone, and the ancestral grave is not well buried." ”

I expected this to be asked, just to elicit a conversation later.

"How did they all die?"

"There are all kinds of ways to die, those who are choked to death by drinking water, those who are stuck to death by phlegm while sleeping, those who are scalded to death by boiling water in bathing, those who drown in the water, those who hang themselves, and now the Meng family, it is estimated that the Meng family boy who was sent to be a Taoist priest is still alive."

The boy of the Meng family he said should be Meng Changqing, and these ways of death are strange, and there are ghosts at a glance.

"Do you know Meng Weiye in your village?"

"Acquaintance!" The old man said, without waiting for me to ask more things, the old man said everything I wanted to ask next, he said, "At that time, there were too many Meng family members to support so many people, so Meng Weiye sent him to be a Taoist priest when he was a few years old, and then came back for a while, came back and got married, and left a few years after giving birth to a baby, and I don't know where he went." After he was gone for many years, the people of the Meng family died one by one, and in the end, only the boy of the Meng family remained, and the boy of the Meng family was Meng Weiye's grandson, named Meng Changqing. In the end, it seems that he was also sent to become a Taoist priest. ”

I roughly understood, that is to say, Meng Weiye was sent to Maoshan to be a Taoist priest when he was a child, and after being a Taoist priest for a few years, he came back to get married and have children, and then left, and never came back. This time I went out to accept the second grandmother and grandfather as apprentices, and after Meng Weiye died, the second grandmother came here and sent Meng Changqing to the Taoist temple as a Taoist priest in order to save her life.

From this point of view, the affairs of the Meng family were completely provoked by Meng Weiye, because at that time he had confiscated his second grandmother and grandfather as apprentices.

I wanted to ask a little more detailed, but the old village chief didn't know, so he just said: "I think Meng Weiye provoked unclean movements outside and brought it to the Meng family." ”

This is a very obvious thing, and what we have to understand now is what Meng Weiye provoked.

The old village chief was very hospitable, let me and Zhaowen stay in his house, and after dinner, we talked for a while and went to sleep, before going to bed, the old village chief said: "The dogs in the village may be a little noisy at night, you may not be able to adapt to it when you first come, just go over the while." ”
