Chapter 64: The Price
Under an ancient tree outside the village, Chang'an Wuhua and Xiaoxi took out dry food, intending to continue their journey after they were full. Coincidentally, a few big men who passed by from here also rested under the tree, chatting with each other, and after a while, they talked about a news that made Chang'an Wuhua take his breath away.
"Hey, have you heard, something big happened in Nanguo Mansion!"
"I heard it, I heard it, such a hot thing has already spread, isn't it the fact that Nan Guo Zhenxia was killed by five enemies. Tsk, I have a relative who works as a housekeeper in Nanguo Mansion, and he said that Nanguo Zhenxia and his wife were lying on the ground covered in blood, not to mention how miserable their death was. Even the Xiang Gongzi who went to Nanguo Mansion as a guest did not escape the poisonous hands of those people! ”
"This is strange, isn't Nan Guo Zhenxia's reputation not bad, why are so many enemies coming to the door?"
"You don't know that. This Nan Guo Zhenxia practiced a kind of evil kung fu, relying on absorbing other people's internal force to improve his martial arts, and the evil door is very evil. Many people in the rivers and lakes have been poisoned by him, and those five people were also captured by him to prepare to enjoy, and they were finally rescued before they found Nan Guo Zhenxia to take revenge. ”
"Drink, I didn't expect Nan Guo Zhenxia to be such a good-hearted and evil-minded person, he really knows people and knows his face, but he doesn't know his heart! But who saved those five people? ”
"The person who saved them, you must not have thought of it, because that person is Nan Guo Min'er!"
Hearing this name, Chang An Wuhua and Xiaoxi immediately glanced at each other, and then continued to listen quietly.
"Nan Guo Min'er? What does this have to do with her? Isn't she good at using drugs, I heard that she is also good at whipping, but she has a very violent temper, is moody, and kills countless people. ”
"If you want to talk about her relationship with Nan Guo Zhenxia, it will definitely make all of you drop your jaws. She is actually the daughter of Nan Guo Zhenxia! ”
"Huh? She is the daughter of Nan Guo Zhenxia?? In that case, she is the daughter of Nanguo Zhenxia and Qianzhuxi? Ha, no wonder, she is the daughter of the Holy Maiden of the Yuanfan Sect, and it is normal to be fierce and cruel. It's just a pity that Nan Guo Zhenxia, who was originally a promising person, is still the most competitive person in the next martial arts alliance leader, but because of this mother and daughter, he has embarked on the crooked path of evil. ”
When these words fell, the others nodded in agreement.
But these words made Xiaoxi indignant, pointing at those big men and saying angrily: "You don't know anything, why are you chewing the root of your tongue here!" Nan Guo Zhenxia has done a lot of evil, it is his own business, what does it have to do with Sister Min'er! It's really idle to have nothing to do, and it's a shame to gather here in groups like a long-tongued woman! ”
The big men were red and white for a while when Xiaoxi said, and they were unwilling to be talked about by a child, so they wanted to come forward and pull him by the collar to teach him a lesson. However, with Chang'an Wuhua standing by his side, it is natural that Xiaoxi will not be hurt in the slightest.
Pushed a few people out with one palm, Chang'an Wuhua's gentle eyes were also a little angry, and said coldly: "You are already wrong to spread right and wrong, and now you are still embarrassed by a child, and it is not a righteous person." If you know each other, just disperse quickly, don't be embarrassed here! ”
The big men saw that Chang'an Wuhua was just a thin scholar after seeing his disguise, and the push just now was just a few people who were not prepared, so he was given a chance, and now he has to have a good fight with him, and he will definitely beat him to the ground!
Thinking so in their hearts, several people rushed over, but before they could get close to Chang'an Wuhua's body, they felt that their bodies were light, and then the world was spinning, and these people fell to the ground with a wail, holding their buttocks and screaming again and again.
Looking at the embarrassed appearance of these people, Xiaoxi waved his little fist and said with a smile: "Hmph, even if you dare to beat my brother Shi's idea!" Get out of here, if we find out you're spreading rumors in the future, we'll throw you into the river and feed the fish!" ”
Seeing Chang'an Wuhua's extraordinary skills, several big men knew that they were not his opponents, and although they were unwilling, they still fled for their lives in embarrassment. Compared with Xiaoxi's hand dancing, Chang'an Wuhua is a little more worried.
He knew that Nan Guo Min'er was jealous and hateful, and before she died, he would definitely ask for back everything that others owed her. Now, Nanguo Min'er has taken revenge, and she is bound to return to the Yuanfan Sect, and it is in vain for her to rush to Nanguo Mansion. In order not to take any more wrongful paths, Chang'an Wuhua decided to take Xiaoxi back to Yuanfan Sect, where he waited for the rabbit and waited for Nanguo Min'er.
Before the two of them got up, Xiaoxi looked at Chang'an Wuhua and tied a note to a little pigeon, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Shi, what are you doing here?" ”
After sighing deeply for a lifetime, Chang'an Wuhua threw the pigeon into the clear sky and sighed: "I'm telling a certain fool to let her rush to Yuanfan Sect to make peace with us." I just don't know if this guy can receive it. ”
Looking at the white doves flying farther and farther away, Chang An Wuhua murmured in his heart: Where are you in the spring breeze? Why haven't you ever replied to a letter? Isn't there something going on......
***
Although with Konishi, the speed of the journey will be slower, but in the past half a year, Konishi has traveled all over half of Kyushu and knows where there are shortcuts, so the way back is much smoother.
But there is a very serious problem that is still in front of Chang'an Wuhua. Even if he rushed to that canyon, he still didn't know where the Yuanfan Sect was, and it was very likely that he would pass by Nan Guo Min'er and delay the big event.
As a last resort, Chang'an Wuhua had to try to contact his old subordinates, and whenever he went, he went to the old rudder site of Baixiangmen to check it out.
Xiao Xi felt very strange about Chang'an Wuhua's behavior, and didn't understand why Brother Shi wanted to go to those dilapidated manors, wasn't he in a hurry to go, so why did he have to go east and west? But looking at Chang'an Wuhua's cold face, Xiaoxi didn't dare to ask more, so he could only follow him and wander around every city.
Finally, in an ancient mansion, Chang'an Wuhua found the person he was looking for.
An old man, with dozens of children, recited poems aloud, and his loud voice resounded through the ancient house, making this place full of vitality and youthful vitality.
Although the old man's hair was mottled, his eyes were sharp, and he found that an outsider had broken into the house, and he looked at the comer with a wary gaze, and asked coldly, "Who is the son?" ”
Seeing the familiar person, Chang'an Wuhua smiled gently, took two steps forward, his eyes flashed, and he called out a little hoarsely: "Xiao Protector, how are you doing lately?" ”
The poetry scripture in his hand fell to the ground, Xiao Protector's whole person was stunned, he looked at the young man in front of him in disbelief, staggered forward a few steps, kept looking up and down, and finally called tremblingly: "Door master!?" ”
Chang'an Wuhua put his hands behind his back, smiled without saying a word, and his warm eyes revealed brilliance, making people feel like a spring breeze, but he didn't dare to say it lightly.
Looking at this momentum, this figure, it must be no different from the faceless door master, plus Xiao Protector knows that the door master is good at disguise, so he is even more sure that the person in front of him is the door master. At that moment, he knelt down on one knee, put his hands into fists, and said in a sobbing voice: "Door master, I didn't expect you to be alive!" Do you know what a blow your death was to us? The huge Baixiang Gate is scattered like this, which is really embarrassing. Now that you know that you are alive, your subordinates should contact the other disciples now and ask them to return quickly! ”
Stretching out his hand to help Xiao Protector up, Chang'an Wuhua said: "Xiao Protector must not. When I left suddenly, I didn't take care of the things in the door, it was my responsibility, and I didn't have the face to see the children in the door again. I am already a person who has died once, and I don't want to get involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes again, and I hope that Xiao Protector can keep this secret. ”
As if he didn't expect Chang An Wuhua to say this, Xiao Protector frowned, and then asked the other teachers in the academy to teach the children, and he took Chang An Wuhua and the others to the side hall.
After the two of them sat down, Xiao Protector said earnestly: "The subordinates didn't know what happened back then, so they let the master of the door escape from death and avoid the world. It's just that the subordinates know that the master of the door is a rare talent in the world, and you can lead Baixiangmen to carry forward and glorify the world! As a man, he should be famous, and we, the children of the family, also hope to follow you to work hard and make contributions. Door master, you are not an ordinary person, let the dust cover the light, it is really a violent thing, and it is also a regret for Kyushu. Since our master and servant can be reunited, why can't we rebuild Baixiangmen and create more glory? ”
Chang'an Wuhua knew Xiao Protector's thoughts, but now that he has seen through the vicissitudes of the world, what fame and fortune are, and he doesn't want to be entangled in those things anymore. He just wants to take Nan Guo Min'er and live an ordinary life. In the first half of his life, they experienced too much suffering and betrayal, and in the second half, he just wanted to live for himself. Therefore, he could only disappoint Protector Xiao.
Looking down at his hands, Chang An Wuhua smiled and said: "When I was the master of the door, I had too many involuntary bodies and lived a very tired life. I thought that the accident would put everything to an end, and that I could get rid of this pain and get relief. But unexpectedly, I was rescued and regained my life. Now that I've been born again, I don't want to go back to my old life. I just want to find a beloved, to live a simple little life, no fighting, no deceit, just be quiet. Maybe Protector Xiao will think that I don't have ambition, but that's what I'm thinking now. Xiao Protector, don't persuade me, these are things I have already decided, and I will not change them. I came to you today because I had something to ask for. ”
After listening to Chang An Wuhua's words, Xiao Protector knew that Chang An Wuhua must have experienced things that ordinary people could not imagine, and he would "change his temperament" and become what he is today. He knew that if he wanted Chang'an Wuhua to change his mind, he had to think about it in the long run, so he didn't continue to argue, and said: "The master of the door is polite, if you have any orders, just say it, your subordinates will never give up!" ”
"Xiao Protector is serious. I just wanted to ask you for a place. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Protector smiled brightly: "Heh, it turned out to be an inquiry. This is our Baixiangmen's housekeeping skills, although the owner said. ”
