Although the old man has been locked up here for a long time, his whole person's spirit is sufficient. After Jass finished speaking, his face was visibly much more serious, as if he had heard something major changed.

"But don't worry, brother, now the emperor still only has four true soul jades, and the one that was stolen by Ma Siguo is still missing. Jas immediately added.

The old man pondered for a while, and said softly: "That means that the emperor has already obtained the soul jade that your father took away?"

Chen Yin knew that the old man was asking himself, so he nodded and responded, "I got it." ”

The old man didn't ask in detail, and Chen Yin didn't plan to elaborate, at least for now.

"Yin'er, do you know what's inside the wooden box?"

Chen Yin nodded, and then he remembered that the other party couldn't see him at all: "I know, but I have to give it to him." ”

"Yi Yin's restrictions should not have been unlocked," the old man sighed and said, "That's it, at least a few decades have passed, and now the old man has no interest and energy to take care of this matter, and his only wish is to see Yi Yin, Ying'er, and you again." ”

Although there was no blame in the old man's tone, Chen Yin could still feel that the other party had a trace of regret for his approach. However, the soul jade stolen by Ma Siguo was with Yingli, and even Xufeng Chenhui didn't know about it, and Chen Yin didn't plan to let other people know about it.

"It's a pity—" the old man sighed, and continued, "I didn't expect that I, the old man, had been here for so many decades, and everything was already a matter of fact—brother, could you let me be alone with Yin'er for a while?"

Jas shrugged: "Naturally, but brother, don't have any reason not to show me that thing now, I've been looking forward to reading that book for decades, and now that you've seen your apprentice, I have to—"

"Can you enter the hiding room now?" said the old man to Jas.

"Yan Ying is dead, Wen Zuyu is outside, is there any place in this imperial city that I can't go?" Jas laughed.

"You go to the hiding room and find the book of poems and paintings, and under the top layer of clouds, is the book you are looking for. ”

Jas nodded in satisfaction, but did not leave immediately, but walked over to the old man, leaned down and whispered a few words.

Although the old man didn't show any expression, Chen Yin found that when Yan Ying was talking to him, the old man suddenly had a longing, not a flash, but it has always existed after Jas left.

Chen Yin didn't ask Jas what he told him, just quietly waited for the old man to speak first. The old man didn't mention what Jas said, nor did he immediately mention the life and death of Chen Yin's parents, but asked in a gentle tone, "Yin'er, are you helping the imperial court?"

"No, I'm just waiting in the palace for the time being for the emperor's reply, and then I'll leave the palace. ”

"That's good, that's good," the old man nodded slightly, and his words changed sharply, "By the way, your father taught you to practice martial arts and enter the soul power?"

"No, only my mother taught me to read and write, and no one taught me martial arts. ”

The old man nodded: "It must be Ying'er's meaning, she has always thought that if she doesn't practice martial arts, she won't go deep into the rivers and lakes, and if she doesn't go deep into the rivers and lakes, she can save her life." The old man smiled and immersed himself in his memories, and after a while, he suddenly thought of something, and his face sank: "Although the master knows that you don't want to mention these things, the master must know, Ying'er, how is your mother-"

"Sick," he really didn't want to recall, but the other party's expression and breath when he talked about his mother made him gradually have an inexplicable feeling for the old man in front of him, "I have been bedridden since that year, and I died soon after the beginning of autumn." ”

"What is it?"

"The doctor in the town said it was a cold wind. Chen Yin thought a little annoyed, "The doctor's medicine didn't work, so I took the medicine according to the method my mother taught me before, but it still didn't get better." ”

The old man smiled bitterly: "The irony is extreme, in vain I am called a miracle doctor by the world, and my apprentice daughter-in-law actually died of a little wind and cold! Could it really be that I disobeyed the Son of Heaven and attracted this retribution?"

"Master..."Chen Yin saw that the other party was so angry, and suddenly worried about the other party's body, "Birth, old age, sickness and death are common, when my mother left, she said that she was very happy in her life, and she said that this is enough." ”

"Enough, it's enough," the old man gradually calmed down, "Yin'er, your mother died of illness, although the master can't do anything more, but if you believe in the master's words, it is impossible for your father Yiyin to fall to death." ”

But that's what my mother said at the time, and my father really hasn't come back for more than ten years. ”

"Just remember what Master said," the old man didn't dwell on and explain the problem any more, "Tell Master more about your family, Master has been here all these years, as if he was with you." ”

Chen Yin was a little embarrassed, not because he didn't want to speak, but because he didn't know how to say it or where to start.

"It's better to start talking about it from the time you step into the rivers and lakes, and tell your master about what you have seen and heard in the rivers and lakes. The old man thought it was because Chen Yin didn't want to mention his parents anymore.
