Chapter 304: Dedication
The water on the stone stove was boiling, and Hongxiang heard the sound, carefully poured the boiling water into the teapot that had been laid with a layer of tea leaves after it was empty, and then put it back on the stone stove, letting it roar in the boiling without paying attention.
The atmosphere was quiet for a while, and when the tea leaves in the teapot were completely soaked and the boiling water was colored, Xiao Cong stretched out a hand and slowly pinched the pot system of the teapot, and then the nameless ruthless man opposite, Hongxiang on his side and his exquisite teabowl were filled with tea, put down the teapot, smiled slightly, and was about to speak, but he heard the nameless ruthless man teasing:
"Xiao Sigongzi is really worthy of being a person who has faded out of the scholarly rite sect, this leisure in the barren mountains and mountains, we really can't compare with the old man!"
Xiao Congwan smiled and replied calmly:
"It doesn't matter, if you stay by my side for a long time, you will naturally learn it, as the old saying goes, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black. β
The corners of the nameless ruthless man's mouth twitched imperceptibly, and he bowed his hand, and said with a smile:
"Then there is the fourth son of Lao Xiao. β
Xiao Cong smiled undiminishedly, waved his hand lightly, and said disapprenously:
"Polite, polite. β
Speaking, picking up the cup and sipping it lightly, his expression was comfortable and ethereal, although he didn't look like the fairy charm of Master Gui, but there was also a little poetry of ancient paintings, the nameless ruthless man's eyes were slightly cloudy, and he picked up the teacup and slowly moved it to his mouth, but those cold eyes, but from the beginning until the teacup touched his lips and teeth, he never moved Xiao Cong's face for half a moment, of course, although Xiao Cong felt about this, he also pretended not to know, as if he really didn't know anything.
A natural momentum was formed so naturally.
Hongxiang also picked up the teacup, and took a sip lightly with a slightly funny look, the three of them put down the teacup almost at the same time, raised their heads slightly and looked at a brief collision in the air, the first to look away was the nameless ruthless man who was a little empty in his heart, and the last one to retract his gaze was Hongxiang with an ignorant face.
Xiao Cong filled the three-person teacup with water again, smiled slightly and said lightly:
"Since it's a boat together, it's better not to hide it, otherwise the brother Ni Wall will only increase the external humiliation, if the boat capsizes in the Valley of Forgotten Life, everyone must have to die a good death. β
The nameless ruthless man was silent when he heard this, but his complexion changed imperceptibly.
Xiao Cong smiled again and said casually:
"By the way, I don't know what Your Excellency is called?"
The nameless ruthless man was expressionless and replied bluntly:
"Yin Nuo. β
Xiao Cong smiled and bowed,
"Then the juniors will call you Yin Lao, Yin Lao is Gui Geng this year, how long have you been living in the Forgotten Life Valley, can you tell the juniors, the juniors have to make more preparations. β
Yin Nuo was silent, and only after a moment did he reply coldly:
"You don't have to know this, but what I can tell you is that I have been in the Valley of Forgotten Life since I was born, so I will tell you all the things, customs and taboos there if necessary. β
Xiao Cong continued to smile and nodded, this Yin senior was obviously still wary of him, and was wondering how to continue the topic, but he heard the person opposite suddenly ask:
"You are the fourth son of the Xiao family, I am now convinced, but with your current identity, what are you doing in the Valley of Forgotten Life?
Xiao Cong sat firmly like a mountain, smiling slightly,
"Find someone. β
"Who?"
"You'll know when the time comes. β
Yin Nuo's face was displeased, and he asked:
"Fourth Young Master Xiao doesn't believe in Yin like this, but even if Fourth Young Master Xiao doesn't believe Yin, Yin still has to know about this matter sooner or later, Yin's life is now in the hands of Xiao Fourth Prince, I really don't know what else you don't worry about, is it not worried about Yin's character, or does not believe in the effectiveness of the immortal oath and the evil nature of the lighting spell, take 10,000 steps back and say, you don't tell Yin who you are looking for, how can Yin help you plan a matter, relying on you alone, I'm afraid you will have to take a lot of detours. β
Xiao Cong shook his head when he heard this, smiled dumbly, his face was not red, and he said blindly:
"To tell you the truth, I don't know who I'm looking for until now, maybe when I enter the Valley of Forgotten Life, he will take the initiative to find me after he notices it. There was a hint of helplessness in his tone, which sounded like the real thing.
Yin Nuo looked at Xiao Cong suspiciously for a long time, seeing that the latter's face did not change or dodge, and finally nodded slowly, his eyes became relatively soft, it seemed that he should have believed Xiao Cong's nonsense, he moved his gaze downward, thought for a while, frowned and considered:
"That's ...... But it's a little bit harder......"
Xiao Cong looked at Yin Nuo's heartfelt appearance, and felt that there were at least seven points of truth on the appearance, but he couldn't even detect a little fake in his breath, there was a special sense or connection between people, just like the karma Tutian he met when he followed Ouyang Xun into the Turtle Mansion for the first time, the kind of smile hidden in the knife and the heart of the heart could not be concealed by how fake and true the false feelings and false intentions could not be concealed, this is a difficult thing to explain, some people are more sensitive to this, and some people are more slow to do this, Xiao Cong belongs to the kind of person who is particularly sensitive to this, as for the reasons, he doesn't know, and he doesn't know if it's because of his innate strong mental powerγ
He smiled again, and said with great interest:
"What's the matter?
Yin Nuo slowly raised his head, glanced at Xiao Cong inexplicably, and said angrily:
"If you want to get along amicably, please change your title first, Yin Lao, Yin Lao, where does Yin Mou look old!"
"Flutter!"
Hongxiang on the side couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, Xiao Cong didn't laugh out loud because he took care of his identity, thinking that this Yin Nuo was born so coldly and ruthlessly, but he didn't expect it to be so funny, it was really inconsistent? He once again deeply doubted that with this guy's methods and scheming, how did he survive in a place like the Valley of Forgotten Life over the years, and it was just enough to survive smoothly, and he had cultivated to the realm of crossing the river, if all this was true, it would inevitably make people feel too unbelievable.
"Could it be that he is so good at disguise?" Thinking about it like this, he suddenly felt that all this might be an illusion, and it was better not to take it lightly, after all, compared to those treacherous old fritters who could survive in the Valley of Forgotten Life, he was probably not even a chick.
"Then what should I call you?" Xiao Cong asked with a smile.
Yin Nuo thought for a moment and replied with a serious face:
"If you want, just call me Brother Yin, call me Brother Yin, you have to be at least a generation lower than me, call Brother Yin, we are equals, compared to calling Yin Lao, you call me Brother Yin, and you won't lose at all." β
Xiao Cong laughed a few times, patted his thigh and said:
"Okay, then follow what Brother Yin said. β
Hongxiang on the side squinted at Yin Nuo, who was sitting beside him, with an unpredictable smile on his face, and teased:
"I didn't expect such a strange thing to be produced in the Valley of Forgotten Life, and I am really teachable today. β
The voice is not small, nor too big, anyway, Yin Nuo, who is sitting on the side, must be able to hear it, but looking at Hongxiang's unpredictable appearance, it seems that Yin Nuo wants to hear it.
But Yin Nuo pretended not to hear it, but it was definitely not that he didn't hear it, probably he didn't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, and he took care of the master before beating the dog, and he was too lazy to be so arrogant and arrogant with Hongxiang is general knowledge, or maybe it was to put on a correct posture and win a place here for Xiao Cong.
He cleared his throat and said solemnly:
"Xiao Sigongzi doesn't know, although the Valley of Forgotten Life is mixed, it is a gathering place of three sects and nine streams of crooked ways, but it is not completely without rules at all, for example, some people are absolutely unprovoked, some places are easy to not enter, the Valley of Forgotten Life is also divided into three, six, nine and so on like the outside world, people like Xiao Si Young Master enter the Valley of Forgotten Life, they must not reveal their identity, and they must not be too special, don't think that on the surface, the Valley of Forgotten Life is chaotic and anyone can enter, in fact, when some people just enter the valley, they have been targeted by some big forces inside, because the various forces are afraid of each other, and the people who are targeted will never be co-opted, can only be dispeld suspicion or assassinated, speaking of which, I have to mention that the distribution of forces in the Valley of Forgotten Life is hierarchical, the further in, the higher the level of power, dare to say that the forces that come to find Xiao Sigongzi must have a bit of background and face, but it seems to be really difficult for Xiao Sigongzi to enter that area smoothly. β
Xiao Cong raised his eyebrows lightly, and said in surprise:
"Oh? β
Yin Nuo smiled helplessly and replied:
"The building near the water is the first to get the moon, Xiao Sigongzi must not show his true face, I think the other party doesn't know what kind of skin Xiao Sigongzi is using now, if Xiao Sigongzi wants to connect with him smoothly, he must have some performance, but this performance still has to be seen only by them, otherwise, they will be targeted by the recent forces, for Xiao Si Young Master and a newcomer, it will be troublesome at that time, and if one is not careful, he may have to explain there, so if Xiao Si Gongzi wants to connect with him smoothly, he still has to go as far as possible. β
Xiao Cong understood, bowed slightly, and asked sincerely:
"Then what is the best way for Brother Yin?"
Yin Nuo didn't answer, but frowned and thought for a long time before replying:
"Not yet. β
Xiao Cong sighed helplessly when he heard this, and then smiled again, and said open-mindedly:
"There must be a road in front of the lane mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, it doesn't matter, there will always be a way. β
Yin Nuo looked at Xiao Cong for a long time, stopped talking, and finally only replied,
"Then according to what Xiao Sigongzi said. β
