Chapter 170: Clues
After Yu Yan sat down, he said, "The situation just now also made you laugh." ”
Ding Qin was already impatient and got straight to the point, "Patriarch, please tell me what happened." I now suspect that the Ding Lang he is talking about is my father. ”
When Ding Qin said this, Yu Yan was also stunned. Soon, he also nodded, "Well, yes, yes, yes." Otherwise, Zou Tan would not have misidentified people. ”
He took a deep breath, took a sip of water, and said, "It all started more than four years ago. That year, the algae in the green water lake grew very well, and it was a good harvest year. However, it was precisely because of the good quality of that year that it also attracted the attention of the spiritual sect. ”
"Once, Zou Tan, as the main medical staff at that time, led a team to harvest. Just as they were about to leave after harvesting, they encountered an ambush from the Ten Fragrance Sect. Those of us who can work and want to fight, where are spiritual opponents. Of the thirteen people who went to harvest, ten were killed and one was seriously injured, and in the end, only Zou Tan and Granny Bai were left. ”
"It was at this critical moment that another devotional arose. With his own strength, he defeated the wicked people of the Ten Incense Sect, sent three living people to the periphery of the tribe, and then left. To be honest, none of us had seen that person what it looked like. ”
"In our tribe, there is a rule. If a woman is saved by a man, that man can marry the woman for free. Of course, it also depends on the wishes of both parties. However, after such a long time, basically, only to rescue the facts, the two of them will get married. ”
First, Zou Tan was influenced by this concept, and secondly, he may also fall in love with that man at first sight, and after he came back, he never forgot that man, and he became lovesick, and in the end, he became this crazy appearance. And since the man didn't join our tribe, we don't know anything about what he looked like or where he came from. ”
Speaking of this, Yu Yan couldn't help but sigh again.
The more Ding Qin listened, the more he felt that that person might be his father. He couldn't help but say, "Then, in addition to Zou Tan himself, aren't there two other people who can provide clues?"
Yu Yan said, "The one who was seriously injured died not long after he came back." And Granny Kashiwa,"
He sighed again, "After that incident, I was so frightened that it didn't take long for me to become delirious and demented. ”
Ding Qin couldn't help frowning. was full of hope, but now it seems that there is no drama again.
If you want to ask anything from Zou Tan, judging from Zou Tan's performance, it seems impossible. And what about this demented Granny Bai? Is it possible, after prompting, to think of something?
With this little hope, Ding Qin said, "Can we go and see Granny Bai?"
"Yes." But I think maybe she'll let you down, too. ”
After saying that, Yu Yan got up and walked out with Ding Qin.
The residence of Granny Bai, on the northern edge of the tribe. She has three sons at home, and since she has been demented, they have taken turns taking care of them. Today's nursing is the third child.
Seeing Yu Yan coming, the third child stepped forward and saluted very respectfully. Yu Yan briefly asked about Granny Bai's current situation, and then took Ding Qin into the house.
The room was slightly dim, with a peculiar smell that is unique to dementia patients. An old woman in her seventies sat on the edge of the bed, stretching her turtle neck forward and forward, muttering something that no one else understood.
Yu Yan stepped forward and said hello. The old woman turned her head and smiled strangely at him.
Just as she was about to turn around, she saw Ding Qin at a glance.
The old man's expression immediately became extremely strange, staring at Ding Qin for more than ten seconds, then getting out of bed and kneeling directly on the ground, kowtowing his head non-stop, and shouting in his mouth, "Benefactor, benefactor, benefactor." ”
Where can Ding Qin let an old man be like this. He immediately stepped forward, helped Granny Bai up, and sat down on the bed again. Looking at Granny Bai again, she actually cried.
Although she couldn't express anything, from her movements and expressions, it could be seen that she also mistook Ding Qin for the person who saved people back then.
Both of them behaved like this, and the guess in Ding Qin's heart became more convinced. After Yu Yan returned to the elder's room, Ding Qin said, "In this way, it may have been my father back then." The reason why he didn't come to the tribe may be that he was in a hurry, which was in line with his mission. ”
Yu Yan asked, "Are you similar to your father?"
Ding Qin shook his head, "Actually, it can't be said to be very similar, but the key parts are extremely similar." You see. ”
He took out a portrait of his father that he had brought with him.
Yu Yan looked at the portrait, then at Ding Qin, and nodded. "You're right. Although there are differences in the details, at first glance, the key parts are almost identical, including the face shape, eyes, and especially the mouth. If a person's consciousness is no longer clear, it may remember the person, but only a vague outline. In this case, it is normal for the two of them to mistake you. It's a pity that there is no way to tell you more specific information, the only two people in the know. ”
Ding Qin exhaled slowly, "No, there are other people in the know." ”
He was stunned, "What knowers? Everyone else is dead." ”
"Ten Incense Sect. Ding Qin said, "The people of the Ten Incense Sect know. Come to think of it, a spiritual sect dominates one side, and when they were blocked from snatching the spiritual algae, they should be very impressed by the person who made the move. In this way, the people who participated in the robbery will definitely remember who it was that ruined their plan. ”
Yu Yan suddenly realized, "Well, that's right, you're right. The Ten Incense Sect must know. As a tribe, we don't get involved in foreign affairs, so when we encounter these things, we often exclude external factors, so we never think of this. ”
Ding Qin took a deep breath, "So, although the information I got here was limited, I still found a very important clue." After He Yan healed and cured, I went to the Ten Fragrance Sect with her. It's just that the relevant situation of the Ten Incense Sect still hopes that the elder can help provide it. ”
Yu Yan said, "This nature, this nature! If it is another sect, we may not know about it, but the Ten Incense Sect, the basic situation is still known. ”
As he spoke, he turned around and took out a leather roll from the cabinet and slowly spread it out.
It was a map, nothing but hand-drawn, and it seemed to be quite small.
The metaphor pointed to the map, "This river is the Russ River." Here, it's the Green Water Lake. Our tribe, probably in this direction. ”
As for the location of the tribe, he simply circled it, there were no marks on the map, and he did not elaborate, obviously not wanting people to determine the specific location.
Ding Qin nodded, "Then, what about the Ten Fragrance Sect?"
"If you go downstream along the Ras River, about three hundred miles, you will get out of the jungle." There, the first town, called Linyuan Town. Thirty miles northeast of Linyuan Town, there is a place called Shixiang Valley, which is where the Shixiang Sect is located. ”
Ding Qin observed the map, in fact, if you arrive down the river, the Ten Fragrance Sect is not difficult to find. "Then, what is the strength of the Ten Incense Sect?"
Yu Yan said, "The Ten Incense Sect basically belongs to the smallest spiritual sect, and probably the total number of disciples is only about a hundred, plus some peripheral servant guards and the like, the total number of people will not exceed three hundred. As far as I know, he controls seventeen towns and seventy-three villages. As for the spiritual practice,"
He thought for a moment, "Generally speaking, as people see, most of the disciples of the Ten Incense Sect who are active outside are five or six stars in one belt, and occasionally they will see seven or eight stars, and if they are more than two belts, they have basically never seen them. However, according to legend, there was a battle between the Ten Incense Sect and the Octagonal Gate, saying that two people with more than two belts fought each other, and as a result, a village was razed. ”
Ding Qin listened and was also calculating. There are very few things in the Xuanling Continent, but there are spiritual temples on the Xuanling Continent. In the spiritual seminary, the cultivation of ordinary teachers is two or three levels higher than that of students, so they can be well guided, and the dean is one or two levels higher than the teacher, so they can have absolute majesty and combat superiority.
This kind of law may not be accurate when it is transferred to the sect, but it should be similar. Those who are at the fifth or sixth level, if they are ordinary disciples, those at the seventh or eighth level should be in the role of a teacher, or equivalent to a small head in the sect. If the sect master wants to maintain an absolute advantage, he will be two or three levels higher, just exceeding the second order of spiritual power, which is also in line with the legend that the two sects are fighting.
What's more, if two second-order people with spiritual power fight, if they have no scruples about the environment, it is easy to destroy a village.
If this is the case, the sect master of the Ten Incense Sect should have a spiritual cultivation level similar to his own, even if it is high, it will be one or two levels higher. On the whole, it will not pose much of a threat to itself here, and it will not cause big trouble in theory if you go and listen to it.
After Ding Qin had a score in his heart, he looked at Yu Yan, "Thank you for your help." I'll go find He Yan, and when she's over, we'll set off. ”
Yu Yan didn't leave Ding Qin behind, but simply said, "Be more careful on the road." ”
Ding Qin got up and bowed. When he was about to reach the door, he said, "By the way, Elder, if I am outside, how can I still contact our tribe?"
There was obviously a look of alarm in Yu Yan's eyes, obviously, he didn't want the tribe to have too much contact with the outside world, or let the outside world touch the tribe's location through some means.
Ding Qin also saw Yu Yan's thoughts, and explained, "I mean, I mean, I think, if possible, I will retrieve your deceived spirit algae from the Ten Fragrance Sect and return it to the tribe. ”
Yu Yan relaxed a little at this time, and said, "Well, we regularly send people to inquire about some outside information in the name of selling wild meat in the market in Linyuan Town. If you go, you can find someone named Shui Chunqing, and he will contact us. ”
The water is pure. Ding Qin wrote down the name before saying goodbye to Yu Yan again. As soon as I went out, He Yan just came over.
He Yan had a meaningful smile on her face, "Yo, my good husband, have you dealt with those old flower and willow matters?"
