Although the Taiqing Sect's Dao Flying Boat was used for transportation, it was also very fast, and the homesick city was not far from the floating city, just for a moment, the outline of the homesick city had been seen from a distance. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Dharma Protector, what are we doing in Homesick City?" Fang Shouyi asked in a low voice, it may be the first time in his life that he has used thunder methods, and he is still a little uneasy at this moment.

"I'm coming to meet Yuyi's seniors. Ye Xin said.

"I see. Fang Shouyi looked a little surprised, after all, Cao Yuyi was his old master: "I haven't seen his old man for a few months." ”

"You know where he is, right?" Ye Xin asked.

"Yes, yes. Fang Shouyi nodded again and again.

"Take me there, just...... Don't come forward just yet. Ye Xin said: "If you are here, there are some things we can't say, and after I meet my seniors, it's not too late for you to go over and say goodbye." ”

"Understood. Fang Shouyi responded.

In the blink of an eye, the Preaching Flying Boat had landed in the center of Homesick City, Fang Shouyi jumped out of the boat first, and walked straight towards the South Street of Homesick City, Ye Xin glanced at the boatmen, and then also jumped out of the Preaching Flying Boat.

Ye Xin's intention was very clear, the Taoist flying boat had to stay and wait, he took a boat when he came, and he had to climb the mountain when he went back, and he still lost face, but he didn't make a clear statement to support them, and those boatmen didn't dare to drive the boat back without authorization.

Most of the residents of Homesick City are relatives of the monks of the Taiqing Sect, and after countless years of operation, the area of Homesick City has become larger and larger, and the population has also increased, and the scale has far exceeded that of ordinary cities.

This is also the blood bank of the Taiqing Sect, every three years, the Taiqing Sect will recruit disciples in the homesick city, if there are too few teenagers who can enter the eyes, and the number of places is empty, the Taiqing Sect will consider looking outside, in the past hundred years, because the scale of the homesick city is getting bigger and bigger, the Taiqing Sect has rarely gone outside to recruit disciples, and if you want to recruit, you will only stare at those who have achieved fame, so it will save a lot of resources and energy, and it can also make the power of the sect expand rapidly。

After walking for nearly half an hour, Fang Shouyi in front of him stopped, and then pointed to a small courtyard in the distance: "Protector, that's it, I bought this courtyard at the beginning, and I also bought it for all the family affairs, alas......"

"Shouyi, you stay here and wait for me. Ye Xin said: "Qingtong, Xiaoyue, you follow me." ”

Ye Xin approached the small courtyard and saw a boy sitting on a stone napping at the door of the small courtyard, he walked over slowly, stretched out his hand and gently patted the boy on the shoulder.

The boy was taken aback, opened his eyes suddenly, and looked at Ye Xin with a blank gaze: "You...... What are you going to do?"

"Cao Yuyi, Senior Cao, but you live here?" Ye Xin asked with a pleasant face.

Cao Yuyi...... I don't recognize it, but my grandfather's surname is Cao. The boy sniffled and said impatiently.

"Little brother go and report it, and say that there are juniors who come to visit his old man. Ye Xin said.

"You wait. The boy said, and then jumped and walked towards the courtyard, but after a few steps, he turned back and spread his palms towards Ye Xin.

Ye Xin smiled, took out three high-grade yuan stones, and put them in the palm of the boy's hand.

The boy smiled and put away the yuan stone and walked quickly to the courtyard.

After a while, the boy walked out of the hall again, frowned, and said, "My master didn't pay attention to me, and he was playing chess with others, so why don't you wait here for a while." ”

Ye Xin took out three top-grade Yuan Stones and handed them to the boy: "Shall I go inside and wait?"

The boy recognized the top grade Yuanshi, and he was busy snatching it over, but his face was a little hesitant, looking Ye Xin up and down, Ye Xin still kept smiling, in fact, his smile was very sunny and handsome, and it was very infectious, people who didn't know Ye Xin's details and were not vigilant against Ye Xin were very easy to have a good impression of Ye Xin.

After looking at Ye Xin for a long time, the boy scratched his head and said very reluctantly: "I don't look like a bad person, then come in, but my lord didn't greet you, you must not speak, disturb my lord's chess fight, I will be beaten!"

"Don't worry, I'm a great person. Ye Xin said with a smile.

Ye Xin followed the boy into the small courtyard, from the front, the area of the yard is not large, but there is a cave inside, which is also easy to understand, when Fang Shouyi bought this yard, he was full of reluctance to Cao Yuyi, and he also had the idea of repaying his kindness, it was impossible to buy a yard to fool Cao Yuyi, it must be a good place.

After walking through several corner doors, he walked into the back hall, and there was a boy in the back hall, and when he saw his companion coming with a few strangers, he seemed a little frightened, and hurriedly ran over and lowered his voice and shouted: "Are you crazy? Why did you bring them in?!"

The boy who led the way didn't say anything, just took out a high-grade yuan stone and handed it over, the boy in the hall changed his face, quietly put away the yuan stone, and the style of speech was different: "You just wait here, don't walk around, otherwise I can't afford to eat." ”

"Good. Ye Xin nodded.

From the hall door, you can see the backyard, there are two old men sitting under the tree playing against each other, that kind of chess is very strange, there are more than a dozen chess pieces on each side, and Ye Xin has never seen them, and the two old men seem to be concentrated, or frowning, or muttering to themselves.

Ye Xin waited quietly, he thought that it would be almost enough to wait for more than half an hour, but he didn't expect that it was just a game of chess that would be played for several hours, however, he never lacked patience, Qingtong and Yue stood there quietly and motionless, Qingtong used to be the killer of Baihu Mountain, specializing in assassination, this kind of business also has to be patient, and Yue has been quietly imitating Ye Xin, Ye Xin can wait, she can wait.

Time passed, it was late at night, and a game of chess was still not finished, and suddenly, one of the old men with a thin face tapped on the chessboard with his fingertips: "Tea!"

Ye Xin turned his head to look at the boy in the hall, the boy had already fallen asleep by the wall, Ye Xin thought about it, gently picked up the kettle on the charcoal stove, picked up the tea set on the table, and walked towards the two old men.

Walking beside the tree, Ye Xin leaned over to set up the tea set, first scalded the pot and warmed the cup, put in the tea leaves, flushed in the hot water, and then put the two teacups at both ends of the chessboard.

The two old men were very fascinated in playing chess, and they didn't pay attention to Ye Xin at all.

Ye Xin straightened up and stood quietly to the side, the corners of his mouth showed a slight smile, the little boy was only eight or nine years old, he was an ordinary person, it was impossible to brew tea in his way, and he definitely couldn't stand the heat of boiling water, that is to say, the two old men had already realized that it was a stranger who was making tea for them, so they pretended not to know, they should have considered it.

In this way, Ye Xin was relieved, he was only worried that Cao Yuyi regarded him as an ordinary visitor, since there was consideration, there must be a plot, which was the basis of the transaction.

In his memory, of all the people who held the highest power in ancient and modern times, only one took the initiative to give up his power and go home to farm, and the others would hold on to power until the last breath of their lives.

The obsession with power is the instinct of life, and even the lion will fight to the death in order to maintain his position as the lion king, knowing that he will fight to the death if he is invincible, let alone a human being?

Cao Yuyi took the initiative to retire and give up power, of course, because of his ideals, he did not want to drag down the development of the outer door with his increasingly low energy, but there must be some memories and unwillingness in his heart, and he must have felt endless sadness and loneliness during this period of retirement.

Therefore, Ye Xin is very confident in the purpose of this trip.

As for such a pretentious gesture, Ye Xin didn't take it to heart at all, is it a virtue to respect the old and love the young, not to mention this kind of old man who has just retired from a high position, what he cares about most is whether others still respect him.

The two old men were playing chess and drinking hot tea unhurriedly, and after a while, the old man with a thin face tapped on the empty plate with his fingertips: "Go and get some melons and fruits." ”

Ye Xin picked up the plate and walked to the back hall, just now he saw melons and fruits on the table in the hall, and when he arrived at the table, he picked a few random things, walked back again, and put the plate aside.

Finally, as the fight drew to a close, another old man with a gray beard sighed, stretched out his hand to sweep the chess pieces away, and then said, "Forget it, I lost again...... I wanted to have another plate with you, but you have guests here, so I can't bother. After speaking, he raised his head and glanced at Ye Xin.

"Not convinced, aren't you?" the old man with a thin face smiled: "You can come to me at any time, anyway, I'm here to die, and I have time to accompany you." ”

"We're all the same. The old man with a white beard stood up: "You don't need to send it, you can be busy." ”

The old man with a thin face raised his head and looked at Ye Xin, he glanced up and down for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "It's the Outer Gate Left Protector, right?

"My surname is Ye, and I have a letter for one word. Ye Xin sat opposite the old man, Cao Yuyi could see his identity at a glance, which made him feel more at ease, what he was most impatient about was talking about things with stupid people, no matter how he talked about it, Cao Yuyi could always manage the outer door in an orderly manner, and his ability must be very strong, but he still had to pretend not to understand: "How did the seniors know about me?"

"I've been thinking about it since I got here...... I don't know what kind of person the new Outer Gate Protector is, if he is smarter, he should come here to see my useless old thing, if his heart is more stupid and forgets me...... Forget it, forget it. The old man with a thin face smiled and said: "The traces we left behind will be erased sooner or later, even if the Demon Emperor is shocking, if it is not for the endless relics left behind, who will remember him?"
