Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Pots Change Hands
Song Yi glanced at the withered magnolia tree, and suddenly remembered what Gao's father said - it was also such a season back then, and it was also such a wind and rain, fourteen-year-old Gao Yulan hurriedly ran over and described to her father the incredible scene she saw, but Gao's father didn't believe it. Later, Miss Gao, who was like a magnolia flower, disappeared, and her bones were like petals scattered all over the place, carrying heavy loads and floating, and finally fell into the dark water, nowhere to be found.
Thinking of this, Song Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, retracted his gaze that fell on the flower tree, looked at the study, and found that the door of the study was not closed, and Gao's father moved a chair to sit at the door, as if he had just done it, and looked at the magnolia flowers in the courtyard stupidly.
"Father's ......"
Gao Cheng walked over lightly and said something in Gao's father's ear.
"Ah, here you are. ”
Father Gao was slightly startled, as if he had just woken up from a big dream, beckoned Song Yi to come over, stared at the magnolia tree again, and sighed: "I didn't believe what Yulan said back then, and I didn't realize that something was wrong until she went out." Although I didn't see the scene in her mouth, and I knew that it should be ridiculous, over the years, I often unconsciously remembered what she said, and the more I thought about it, the more afraid I became, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that it should be true...... It wasn't until the last time the Wang family came to attack, and then today, looking at the chaotic situation, that I suddenly understood that the old man was really gone, and the Gao family was completely handed over to me. Because I was careless back then, I have lost a daughter, and if I ...... in the future What to do?"
He seemed to be muttering to himself, and he seemed to deliberately want to say it to Song Yi.
Song Yi frowned slightly and did not answer.
Father Gao said: "Gao Cheng said...... Do you have something important to discuss with me?"
"Yes. ”
"What is the matter? You are now the great benefactor of my Gao family, and you can ask for anything. ”
“...... I'd like to borrow something from both of you. ”
After Song Yi finished speaking, he took out something from his arms, held it in his palm, and then raised his palm in front of Gao Father and Gao Cheng.
Seeing what was in his palm clearly, Gao Father and Gao Cheng's eyes widened, and they almost stopped breathing.
The pot was lying quietly in Song Yi's hand.
"This ......"
Father Gao asked in a trembling voice: "Isn't this a Du Lu pot?" Song Shaoxia, how could you ......?"
"Brother Song, how could it be in your hands?!"
"I got it, it was a complete accident......"
Song Yi told the cause and effect of the antecedents, from Gao Zhan's door-to-door provocation to the tip of the bag, until yesterday at the luncheon I heard about the efficacy of the Du Lu pot.
"Now that I want to save an old man, I must rely on the Soul Pot to temporarily preserve his soul, so I need to use this thing, and I hope that the two of you will allow it. I promise you that you will never take the pot for yourself, and that once the matter is settled, you will return it with both hands. ”
After speaking, Song Yi stopped talking and waited for Gao's father and Gao Cheng to express their opinions.
About this matter was really unexpected, Gao Father and Gao Cheng were both stunned, and when Song Yi finished speaking, they looked at each other, opened their mouths a few times, but did not say a word.
"If you two need to discuss, you can go back to the study and say, I will wait for your reply in the courtyard. ”
Seeing that they were a little embarrassed, Song Yi took the initiative to take a few steps back.
At this time, Gao's father raised his hand and said, "Wait." ”
"No...... There's no need to negotiate anything. Father Gao stepped forward, looked at Song Yi seriously, his eyes stopped on his right hand holding the Du Lu pot, and asked in a low voice: "Song Shaoxia said, is it to save people?"
"I don't know who to save?"
"My brother. ”
These three words, Song Yi said simply and naturally, frankly.
"Brother Yan!"
The voice in his head couldn't help but call him, and there seemed to be a slight choking.
"Brother...... Father Gao nodded again, turned his head to look at Gao Cheng, the two exchanged a look, and Father Gao said, "Since that's the case, you can take it." ”
Song Yi was stunned, he didn't expect him to agree so quickly, and he was overjoyed: "Thank you, uncle, when I save my brother, I will return it immediately!"
"No, you don't have to pay it back...... "Father Gao waved his hand and sighed: "I've given it to you, you can take it in the future." ”
"What?" Song Yi was shocked, "This is a family heirloom of the Gao family, left by the medical immortals, how can it be easily given away?"
"Father......" Gao Cheng was also stunned, his face was shocked, as if he didn't expect Father Gao to be so decisive, not to borrow, but to send it directly.
“...... It's an heirloom, but it's also a scourge. ”
Father Gao sighed, raised his head, and looked at the magnolia flowers blooming in the courtyard again. The cold moon is miserable, the night wind gusts, blowing the clothes of several people, and also blowing the flowers and trees after the wind and rain again.
"Today's scene, Song Shaoxia knows better than anyone else, if it weren't for you, those people would make trouble, what would the Gao family become? If they really want to kill people and seize treasures, with the people here, can they stop it?"
"However, the Dulu pot is not in the Gao family......"
"That's what we said ourselves, in the eyes of the Wang family, it's just a show, most of them think that we have hidden things, as long as we kill all the people here, dig three feet into the ground to find it, we can always find it. ”
Gao's father paused, and said: "Although I am not talented, I have also been in the business for decades, and there is a saying among the people who do business in the rivers and lakes, called 'If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves'." This degree of spirit, the Wang family is worried about many years, once or twice, full of tricks to take it, although today they verbally admit defeat, people are gone, but maybe one day will come back. If the pot stays at my house, it will be like a three-year-old child who is pregnant with a daughter in the city, what will happen?"
Song Yi was silent, Father Gao's idea was indeed reasonable, even he didn't think that the Wang family had really given up today, let alone Father Gao, who had dealt with the Wang family so many times.
This thing...... Sooner or later, there will be another wave.
"Before, I was not the head of the Gao family, and I was still capricious, but after this change today, I knew how to write the words 'involuntarily'. ”
Speaking of this, Gao's father sighed continuously, and his tone was much darker: "Look at the Gao family, it has been breeding and operating for more than 100 years to have this foundation, so many people up and down, so many houses, money, and land...... Money is something outside the body, but now as the helmsman of the Gao family, I have the obligation to protect them. I can't just let these hundreds of people in my family fight with their flesh and blood for the sake of a pot, right? Not to mention that those people today are no longer ordinary businessmen, and those ...... Then, what kind of demon breath is involved, how should I fight? Could it be that every time something happens, I ask the Yuequan Sect and Song Shaoxia to help? If that's the case, why don't I just give the Dulu Pot to the Yuequan Sect, or give it to you?"
Song Yi was silent, Father Gao was right, but ......
"However, if you give me the Dulu pot, what if the Wang family comes back and doesn't believe that the thing is no longer in your hands?"
"Since I've given it to you, I'll take care of the joints. After a few ****, I plan to repair a book, stamp it with the seal of the Gao family, and ask the lord of Huzhou to be a witness, and then send it to the Wang family, and take the initiative to inform the Wang family of the change of ownership, so that they will completely die to my family. Merely...... In this way, it is equivalent to turning the target to you, if they still have thoughts about the Du Lu Pot, they will act against you, Song Shaoxia, you have to think about it carefully. ”
"It's okay, if they come again, I'm sure I'll be able to handle it. ”
The Wang family's ability today, Song Yi has seen it, it is estimated that they will not take any action in a short time, if they come to find fault in the future, Song Yi believes that he can also deal with it, after all, his cultivation still has a lot of room for improvement. And the original "Song Yi", he must be saved, so no matter what the consequences of taking away the Du Lu pot are, he is ready to face it.
If you blindly look ahead and look backwards, timid, just want to take benefits, and don't want to take responsibility, what else can you do?
"Song Shaoxia's cultivation is exquisite, more than enough for self-preservation, and he is a person, Tiannan and Haibei can go to the north, and now I am leading hundreds of people in the Gao family, I am a target who can't move, and I really want to do it again...... Or you hold it well. Besides, this pot is wonderful, but its wonder is worthless to businessmen like us. Song Shaoxia, I don't want to hide it from you, although this thing is made by the medical immortal himself, but about how to use it, that is to say, how to put people's souls into it, the medical immortal has not left a method, and we don't know how to operate it. ”
"Oh?" Song Yi was stunned: "You don't know how to use it?"
"I don't know. Gao Cheng took over the conversation: "I'm ashamed to say it, maybe the clansmen knew about it back then, but after so many years, we have not inherited the medical Tao with the will of the medical immortals, and the usage of this thing is also ...... Now I only know that it needs to be infused with true qi by the user. ”
“...... Yes. Song Yi thought for a while and thanked the two: "Thank you for informing, and thank you uncle for giving the artifact." ”
This sentence of thanks, Song Yi said willingly, although there were many misfortunes in Gao's father's words, but Song Yi understood that this was also to alleviate his guilt of taking family heirlooms. Today's hard work, after all, won the trust and gratitude of the Gao family, and the pot was indeed left in the Gao family, so he simply gave it to himself, although he was very reluctant, but compared with the lives of the old and young of the family, which is more important, it is still possible to choose.
“...... I should thank you, Song Shaoxia, my youngest son, Gao Zhan has been spoiled since he was a child, he has a stubborn temper and is not angry, you don't have to worry about him, when you return to the Yuequan Sect, don't embarrass him, right?"
"I've never been embarrassed, I haven't been, I won't in the future, but ......"
Song Yi paused, but still said what was in his heart: "Gao Zhan's temperament is quite strong, a little extreme, and he has the idea of quick success, and now...... I'm afraid that if he stays with those people for a long time, he will go further and further down the crooked road. I can't say this to him, so it's up to you two relatives to dissuade me. In the near future, there may be something big happening in the Moon Spring Sect, and Gao Zhan's cultivation is insufficient, so it is better to withdraw as soon as possible. ”
"Really?"
Gao's father was stunned, glanced at Gao Cheng, and saluted Song Yi: "Thank you Song Shaoxia for mentioning, I heard that it will soon be the patriarch festival of the Yuequan Sect, when the mountain gate will be open to outsiders, we can also enter the mountain to visit, at that time the family should have spent the most busy days, just go to meet Gao Zhan, persuade this child." ”
"That's very good. ”
