Chapter 53: Revisiting the Valley of Ghosts (3)
In the face of absolute strength, the battle ended quickly, Le Shaolong and the others put away their weapons and fell behind Xiao Yan.
"Ancestor, let's go to the tavern and sit down." Xiao Yan turned his head to look at the stunned Xiao Yao and spoke.
The grievances are over, the hatred is settled, and under the light of the light moonlight, Xiao Yao's slightly curved back is slightly sour.
He couldn't remember how long it had been since his strength had regressed.
Unexpectedly, for the first time in countless years, he met his clansmen for the first time, and in such an embarrassing situation, Zuihou was still rescued by his own juniors. Xiao Yao's heart is like knocking over a five-flavor bottle, sweet and sour, spicy and salty, everything.
There is not only the gratification of the hope of the rise of the Xiao people, but also the melancholy of the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, and the embarrassment of being the strongest person of the Xiao people.
Looking up at Xiao Yan, who looked sincere and expectant, Xiao Yao couldn't bear to refuse, nodded, and the backs of several people gradually disappeared on the outskirts of Gintama Town
.
It was late at night, and the tavern was silent, only the dim light was still the same, and the faint smell of wine permeated the small space.
It was still the small table in the corner that Xiao Yan saw when he first entered the door, and Xiao Yan and the others sat down casually. Without waiting for the order, the clever man had already smelled the strong smell of blood on everyone's body, and hurriedly served a few pots of good wine and a few side dishes with his hands and feet, and respectfully withdrew.
The night was quiet, and a faint breeze passed through the tavern window from time to time, bringing a burst of comfort.
Xiao Yan poured a full glass of wine for Xiao Yao, and arched his hand and said: "Xiao Yan, the descendant of the Xiao family, respect the ancestors, and respect the patriarch." The tone was sincere and bold, with excitement.
Xiao Yao stroked the wine glass in front of him with his hand and sighed heavily. Over the years, only the elixir and jade liquid in this cup have accompanied him, and only when he is drunk and dreams of death, can he find his former pride. But now I feel that this cup weighs as much as a thousand pounds.
Xiao Yao took a deep breath, raised his wine glass, drank it all, and slammed it to the ground with a "snap".
"The word patriarch, I don't deserve it!" The bitterness that had been suppressed in Xiao Yao's heart for many years came out, and the guilt of the Xiao family came to his heart.
His hands clenched unconsciously, Xiao Yao's shoulders trembled slightly, as if this sentence made him use all his physical and mental strength, and he became much older in an instant.
Xiao Yan threw up another glass full of wine, "No matter what the patriarch has experienced, in the hearts of my Xiao people, you will always be our patriarch." After saying that, a cup has been poured into the throat, the hot feeling, the indescribable taste.
Xiao Yao traveled abroad, fell so far, and left the clan without returning, he must have his indescribable hardships, and he must have experienced too many hardships that he couldn't imagine. Xiao Yan felt uncomfortable, but he couldn't ask.
"Alas, Xiao Yao is incompetent, he can't lead the Xiao clan to be strong, he is not worthy of being the patriarch, he is not worthy!" Tilt your head and pour another cup.
Seeing that Xiao Yao was still decadent, Xiao Yan was silent. Xiao Yao just poured wine one by one.
After a long time, Xiao Yan decided to ask the reason: "I don't know why the ancestor is so low, can you tell the reason and see if Xiao Yan can help." He wanted to say decadent, but after thinking about it, he felt a little inappropriate and changed it to low.
When Xiao Yao heard this, he looked at Xiao Yan, his slightly squinted drunken eyes flickering with hesitation. For so many years, I have traveled all over the country, looking for famous doctors in the rivers and lakes, but I have found nothing, with you kid, what can you help? looked at the five five-star Dou Emperors beside Xiao Yan again, but there was a light of hope in his eyes. That is not the hope that Xiao Yan can help anything, but the hope that the Xiao clan will be strong.
"The afterlife is terrifying." Xiao Yao picked up the wine jug, poured a few sips into the mouth of the pot, and breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he wanted to pour out all the grievances and helplessness in his heart, and then slowly said everything.
When Xiao Yan heard this, his brows furrowed, he was the Dou Emperor, and his strength gradually regressed, which was unheard of in the Dou Emperor Continent. Although he also encountered this when he was a fighter, his strength was too weak at that time to be discovered, and there was only one medicine elder in the world, so it was impossible for such a coincidence.
After thinking about it for a long time, but he didn't have a clue, Xiao Yan's expression darkened slightly.
"The patriarch doesn't need to blame himself too much, this is not what you want. I have not been in the Doudi Continent for a short time, and I have not understood many strange things, I hope that the patriarch will give me some time, and there will always be a solution. Xiao Yan raised his head and spoke.
"Hehe, I have a heart." Xiao Yao didn't expect Xiao Yan to have any way, so he smiled reluctantly, but just now he told the bitter things that he hadn't said to people for so many years, and he said it to his own people, and his mood suddenly relaxed a little, and his action of grabbing the wine jug was obviously much more elegant.
Le Shaolong looked at his face and knew that Xiao Yao had no confidence in Xiao Yan, but this time he had to rely on Xiao Yao to find the Spirit Seal Moss, Xiao Yao was the patriarch of the Xiao clan, Xiao Yan was probably really embarrassed to ask Xiao Yao to lead the way, so he interjected lightly: "Patriarch Xiao, you can rest assured, with Xiao Shao's current network, it should not be difficult to inquire about this disease." What's more, Xiao Shao himself is already an emperor's fifth-grade alchemist, and once he knows the root of his illness, he has great hope. ”
What, Xiao Yan is the Emperor's Fifth Rank Alchemist? Xiao Yao was really frightened this time, no wonder outside the Silver Soul Town, Xiao Yan's soul attack was so powerful, it turned out to be a five-grade alchemist.
Wait, how long has this Xiao Yan been in the Doudi Continent? But five years? Xiao Yao looked at Xiao Yan, excited, excited, and kept shaking the hand of the wine jug. Such an achievement, such a talent, God has mercy on my Xiao clan.
The bright future of the Xiao family is like a picture scroll slowly unfolding in front of Xiao Yao's eyes, Xiao Yao's eyes are full of happiness, and he is truly happy for the first time in countless years. The Xiao clan has the pride of this day, not to mention that his strength has regressed, even if this life is over, he will be smiling at Jiuquan, not to mention that Xiao Yan, as the emperor's fifth-grade alchemist, is expected to recover his strength, and it is even more happy.
The closed heart for many years has been completely opened, and Xiao Yao pulled Xiao Yan and the others to be drunk and rest.
"Is the Xiao family good?" After two bowls, Xiao Yao asked, anxious.
I wanted to ask from the beginning, but I felt ashamed in my heart, and it was really hard to say.
Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer. Now it is rare for the patriarch to be happy, and he doesn't know whether to tell Xiao Yao about some of the turmoil that happened in the Xiao clan in the past, Xiao Yan is very embarrassed, worried that Xiao Yao will blame himself even more because of this.
In fact, when Xiao Yao saw Xiao Yan's shili, he also knew that the Xiao family was fine now, but now that Xiao Yan's face had changed slightly, he couldn't help but worry, and hurriedly asked, "Is there any danger to the Xiao family?" ”
