Chapter 30 The hometown is timid
Ningluo County, Shilixiang Restaurant.
At this time, it was already a month after Sun Yi'an left Haoyang Sect. Recalling that when he had trekked from Qingshui City, which was only two or three thousand miles away from Ningluo County, to the Haoyang Sect in the Jinyang Mountain Range, he had walked for more than a year.
Now, it only took a month for Edgeworth to return to Ningluo County, including a few days of meditation and cultivation in the mountains due to the excessive loss of spiritual power in his body. had to make Sun Yi'an feel like a dream.
Sun Yi'an, who used a disguise technique he learned from Tianque Pavilion to simply disguise himself, sat in a private room in the restaurant, with several plates of delicate and delicious stir-fry on the table in front of him, all of which were the signature dishes of the restaurant.
This restaurant is very famous in Ningluo County, and when Sun Yi'an was six years old, he came to the county town with his father Sun Mantang to buy medicine.
In addition to a few delicious dishes, this restaurant also offers comfortable rooms. Although he is now completely able to open the valley, he only needs to absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth, and does not need these worldly foods to replenish his strength, but he still likes to eat these delicious dishes.
Thinking of his deceased father, Sun Yixin felt a throbbing pain for a while, and the dishes in his mouth lost their taste.
Over the years, he has deliberately not allowed himself to miss his deceased parents. The reason why he didn't immediately return to Guyang Town, where he grew up, today was that in addition to the excessive consumption of spiritual power and the need to meditate and recuperate, it was more because of a sense of timidity in his hometown.
After leaving the city, he did not fly with the sword, reminiscing about the bits and pieces when he was young when he sat in his father's arms to and from the county seat, and walked along the winding official road towards Guyang Town.
In the evening, Sun Yi'an saw the gray-white stone archway standing next to the official road from a distance.
It is rumored that this archway was also funded and built after a Jinshi returned to his hometown after going out of Guyang Town in the previous dynasty.
I don't know how many years of wind and rain, the simple cloud pattern carved on the archway has become very mottled, and the three big characters engraved in the middle of "Guyang Town" have also become a little blurred.
A hint of remembrance appeared in Sun Yi'an's eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly walked through the archway that he didn't know how many times he had walked in his childhood, and entered the town.
The town is still the same as when he left ten years ago, and the occasional passer-by looks familiar, but he can't remember what his name is. Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar streets, he slowly walked in the direction of his old house.
The town is not big, and after a while, Sun Yi'an walked to his old house, but he was suddenly stunned.
I saw that the two stone lions at the door had disappeared, and a black iron lock hung on the mottled gate, and two yellowed seals were crossed left and right. The red official seal on it is already a little blurred.
Sun Yi'an couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he saw this scene, and jumped over the courtyard wall with a light body and entered the courtyard.
Iron locks are also hung on the doors of each room in the courtyard, and slightly smaller seals are pasted on the cross. The tattered tung oil window paper was turned gray-white by the sun, and it trembled slightly in the wind.
"Squeak~"
Sun Yi'an waved his hand to sweep away the cobwebs and dust attached to the door, removed the iron lock, gently pushed open the door and walked in.
The hall was covered with a layer of floating, the roof and corners were covered with cobwebs and hanging ashes, and the setting sun sprinkled gold through the hollow doors and windows, shining on the few young yellow weeds that stubbornly grew in the cracks of the blue bricks on the ground.
He raised his sleeves, gently wiped the spiritual position of his parents, straightened it properly, took out the bamboo tube from the bottom of the incense burner, took out two standing bamboo incense sticks, lit a trace of flame on his fingertips, lit it and inserted it into the incense burner, slowly took two steps back, and knelt down on his knees.
Throughout the night, Sun Yi'an quietly knelt in front of his father's spiritual seat, whispering his thoughts about his father and mother, and all kinds of experiences over the years......
Early in the morning of the second day, Sun Yi'an bowed three times to his father's and mother's spiritual position again, got up and rubbed his eyebrows, and walked out of the hall.
He jumped out of the courtyard wall and left the old mansion and came to Yangjiayao.
Today's Yangjia kiln has become very different from ten years ago, and the dirt road that used to enter the kiln factory was paved with hard green bricks and widened a lot.
At the entrance to the kiln factory, an imposing archway was also built. In the middle of the archway is engraved with five lacquered gold characters of "Ningluo County Official Kiln". The dragon flying and phoenix dancing on the left and right sides are engraved with 16 slightly smaller characters of "Treasure Land Good Burning Colorful Glass, Son of Heaven Seal A and Other Imperial Kilns".
On each side of the archway stood a single guard with a knife
"Official kiln?"
Sun Yi'an couldn't help frowning when he saw the words engraved on this archway, and looked at the two people guarding under the archway.
"Boy, this is a forbidden place for the emperor to burn bricks and tiles, and idlers are not allowed to enter, so you should leave quickly!"
One of the guards saw Sun Yi'an looking at the two of them, and stopped talking.
Seeing that the original Yangjia kiln had become the official kiln of the emperor, Sun Yi couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and after a little thought, he asked:
"I remember that this place was originally called Yangjiayao, but I don't know when it became an official kiln? Can you inform you of one or two below? ”
"You kid, how can you inquire about the imperial official kiln? Leave quickly, otherwise don't blame the official, you're welcome! ”
Another guard said with an impatient wave of his hand.
A hint of anger appeared on Sun Yi'an's face, but he quickly changed his expression. With one hand, he inadvertently wiped the storage bag on his waist, and there were two more ingots of silver in his hand, and he said with a smile:
"Hehe~ The villain has a distant relative who was originally burning bricks in this Yangjia kiln, and the villain came here today to find this relative. It's just that I don't know when this place has become an official kiln for the emperor. That's why Fang is a little offended, and I hope that the official will not be angry!
"The two officials are working errands, and the villain is a little scattered with silver here, so he should be filial to the two officials and buy a pot of wine to quench his thirst."
Sun Yi'an said that, he stuffed the two ingots of silver one by one to the two guards.
One of them reached out and took the silver handed over by Sun Yi'an, slid it into the cuffs, and said lightly:
"The official saw that you were a sensible person, and he didn't look like a rooster and a dog thief, so he told you a word or two. This place was indeed called Yangjiayao originally.
"Ten years ago, His Majesty the Emperor toured the west, and the colorful glazed tiles on the top of the palace in Ningluo County were fired in this kiln. Because the colorful glazed tiles fired in this kiln are exquisite and abnormal, and the quality is high, His Majesty the Emperor is a great joy, and the royal pen personally seals this place as the official kiln. Since then, this kiln has become the territory of the government. ”
"I see!"
Sun Yi'an had a little guess, but now that he got the answer, he showed a sudden expression, and then asked:
"This kiln has become an official kiln, dare to ask the two officials, what happened to the family surnamed Yang who was originally in charge of this kiln? Are the potters on the kiln still on the kiln? ”
The other guard put away the silver in his hand and said nonchalantly:
"This matter is not a secret, for the sake of this ingot of silver, the official will tell you the boy.
"It is said that the old shopkeeper of Yangjiayao could have received a huge amount of compensation silver taels with this brick kiln that could burn glazed colored tiles, but because the old shopkeeper was insatiable and disliked that the compensation in the county was too little, he united with a young man surnamed Sun who knew some evil arts on the kiln and killed the son of our Ningluo County Supervisor.
"Liu Gongzi is a senior apprentice of the national teacher of the Great Moon Country in Western Xinjiang, and he is here to be responsible for burning glazed colored tiles for His Majesty's palace. The Lord of the Prison City lost his beloved son, and in a fit of rage, he reported the matter to the county guard, and then on the grounds of obstructing the burning of the royal color tiles and killing people, the original owner of the kiln, surnamed Yang, and the family of the original owner of the kiln surnamed Yang were beheaded all over the house, and the ancestral home of the young man surnamed Sun who absconded in fear of crime was sealed, and his deceased parents were dug up and the corpses were broken, and the bones were scattered! Thereafter......"
"What?! What did you say?! ”
Hearing this, Sun Yi'an shouted loudly.
At this moment, Sun Yi'an's eyes were split! A body of spiritual power was drumming, and an inexplicable coercion pressed the two guards to take two steps back, and sat on the ground with one butt.
Scold!
Sun Yi'an suddenly had an extra long sword in his hand, the tip of the sword was against the forehead of a guard, and he asked in a trembling voice:
"What did you just say?"
"Ah...... You...... Young man spare his life! The villain was just an errand boy, this matter was very big back then, and everyone in this town knew that the villain was not lying! ”
Pressed against the tip of the cold sword on his head, the guard was frightened like chaff, and begged for mercy very quickly.
Sun Yi'an gritted his teeth and slowly turned his head to look at the other person.
"Yes, yes, yes! What the little two said was true, and there was no deception, and the young man spared his life! Young man spare his life! ”
Another guard saw that the suddenly angry young man looked at him, and wanted to get up and run away, but found that he couldn't stand up at all for some reason, so he had to kowtow like pounding garlic and begging for mercy!
Bite~
The sword fell to the ground with a crisp trilling sound that startled the two guards.
"Raiding the whole house...... Crush the bones and scatter ashes! It's all my fault, it's all my fault! ”
Sun Yi'an turned around stiffly, unintentionally waved his hand, and the long sword that fell to the ground roared, soared to a width of several feet, and automatically flew to his feet, he stepped on the flying sword, and flew towards Gu Yang Mountain in the north of the town.
"Gods, gods?"
The two guards looked at each other dumbfounded, and stammered to themselves.
The two of them, whose bodies had regained their freedom, rushed to the kiln with a rolling belt.
