Chapter Ninety-Four: Empty

From childhood to adulthood, Uncle Zhu has always been an ordinary meat seller at the mouth of the alley in Shen Jing's eyes, nothing special.

If it should be said, then Uncle Zhu's knife work is a must, and the ability to debone and cut meat is handy. But this is placed in the alleys and alleys of the market, which profession has been immersed in prostitution for a long time and does not have few housekeeping skills, so ah, it is not special.

Uncle Zhu loves to talk and has a loud voice, and his kung fu of breaking his mouth is well-known in the alley, and some women are ashamed of themselves. Shen Qing remembered that on Chinese New Year's Eve, I don't know where the naughty child came from to spend the new couplet on the door of Uncle Zhu's shop. Originally, it wasn't a big deal, and the adults came over to say a few kind words, but the family held that it was a big family, and they hated to apologize to a meat seller and shame, so they only coldly dropped two sentences, and did not mention their children's faults in the whole process.

Later, Uncle Zhu stood at the mouth of the alley and scolded the woman of that family for a long time, so it aroused the watchful eyes of many people in the alley. After the neighbors knew the cause and effect of the incident, they rushed up to help Uncle Zhu scold the couple who claimed to be a big family. Later, the two saw that their mouths were invincible, so they had to leave the alley with the child, which was also a battle for Uncle Zhu's fame at that time.

In addition, Uncle Zhu is also very good to Shen. Shen Jing could feel that Uncle Zhu was no worse than his daughter Zhu Huyue.

But in Shen Jing's impression, Uncle Zhu has never said so much like today.

After the three of them sat down, Uncle Zhu kept asking about Shen Jing's injuries and recent conditions. Han Zhongjing was addicted to fine wine, he didn't care about Zhu Tan ignoring him, and he didn't care about the extra pair of chopsticks on the table.

Uncle Zhu nagged for an unknown amount of time, Han Zhongjing Xu really heard the cocoon in his ears, so he smiled impatiently: "Okay, okay, Zhu Daxia, this stinky boy is very good now, don't ask here and there, I'm tired of listening to the left and right." And I remember that you didn't have so many words when Zhu Tan used to kill people. How? I've been in the alley for a long time, and my knife skills haven't risen, and my mouth has risen. ”

Zhu Tan, who was talking about it, smiled after hearing Han Zhongjing's words, suddenly remembered the previous years, lowered his head and thought about it, it was really like that.

Although Zhu Tan disagreed with Han Zhongjing's words, he did have fewer words. He raised his head with a smile and looked at Shen Jing, feeling that some time had passed, but he really didn't expect that this moment would be twenty years.

"Child, Uncle Zhu, I have been in this little red mud alley for almost twenty years, and you are what I grew up watching."

"Twenty years ago, when I learned the news that your Shen family was surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court, I rushed over as soon as possible, but after all, it was still a step too late. By the time I arrived in Donghai City, the Shen family was gone, and your parents and relatives had basically died in the encirclement and suppression, and only your master was holding you to face the five masters who were being chased by the imperial court. I can't distinguish the specific identities of those five people, I don't know if they are just people from the imperial court or other forces involved, but fortunately, your master's strength is strong enough to block them one by one, and the five masters who finally forced them had to stop and retreat and let your master leave. ”

"Later, in order to protect you, your master returned to the rivers and lakes and stayed in this Meiwu City. I, too, felt guilty and stayed here. Over the years, the court has never stopped tracking down your whereabouts, and perhaps you still remember when you were a child, someone asked your master to compete. That person accidentally bumped into Meiwu City and found you, but with me and your master in charge, he knew that he couldn't leave safely, so he simply had to compete with your master according to the rules of the rivers and lakes. The man was strong, but he was still a little worse than your master, and he was seriously injured in the end. Your master promised to let him live as long as he didn't tell him your whereabouts. However, they value the morality and rules of the rivers and lakes, I don't care about Zhutan, I only care about your safety. I followed him and killed him, and then destroyed his body without proof of his death. Later, the imperial court did not find out here, and there was nothing to do for many years. ”

The middle-aged man who had put down the long knife for a long time said this, as if he had returned to the bloody rivers and lakes of the year, he drank a bowl of wine and smiled.

Shen Jing had never seen Uncle Zhu speak in such a tone, he knew that tonight would be different, and now it was probably the beginning. He looked at this Uncle Zhu, who had changed his appearance but was still familiar, and said, "Uncle Zhu, do you also have a relationship with our Shen family?" ”

After Zhu Tan heard Shen Jing's words, he smiled and said, "I met your father Shen Jiusi in the rivers and lakes, and we are brothers with different surnames who have worshipped the master, and we have a good relationship. ”

Han Zhongjing drank another glass of Zhutan poured wine, and after tasting a few sips, he also said: "Boy, I didn't want to talk to you about sadness before, but now you also need to know that this time, your identity may not be able to hide." ”

Zhu Tan was also a little depressed and said: "I thought that the things at the door of the house couldn't make any waves, but I didn't expect it, hey! ”

"These people on the surface of the Heaven Supervisor and the Earth Network and even the rest of the forces may not be clear, but many of them behind them are still clear about what happened back then. Especially the people from the Heavenly Prison Division and the Earth Net, the matter about your identity is fine for a short time, but once it has been fermented for a long time, it is only a matter of time before it is found out. ”

"Uncle Zhu, do I have to leave Meiwu City?" Shen Guo looked at Uncle Zhu with some sorrowful eyebrows and asked.

Zhu Tan thought for a moment, then nodded, and said with a slightly worried expression: "This is the safest way at the moment." It's just that once you leave, your Uncle Han and I won't be able to protect you at all times, and you will only have to rely on yourself when you encounter danger. ”

Maybe he was afraid that Shen Guo wouldn't understand, so Han Zhongjing also followed: "If we follow you, it will be clearly telling those people where you are, so the goal is too big." You alone or with Su Yatou, go away incognito, so as not to attract the attention of the masters of the court. ”

Shen Kuang knew that the two of them were worried about his affairs, so he nodded: "Uncle Zhu, Uncle Han, I know what is at stake." ”

Speaking of this, Shen Jing also took a sip of the wine bowl.

The wine was very strong, a bowl of belly, and the spicy Shen Qian's face was red.

Zhu Tan was a little moved when he saw Shen Jing drinking. "Child, if you really can't do it, go to Nanliang, I entrusted the girl of Huyue to Cheng Ziqiu of Qiyun Mountain, if you want, you can also go to Qiyun Mountain, it is safer over there."

"Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge! Don't rush these things, you know? ”

Shen Guo nodded in response, drank another bowl of wine before slowly asking, "Uncle Zhu, do you know where the master is now?" ”

The master is actually playing the role of a father for Shen Kuang, and Shen Kuang knows that what the master is doing at the moment is not simple, so he has always been worried.

Zhu Tan and Han Zhongjing didn't rush to answer when they heard Shen Jing's question, and each poured a bowl of wine.

This time, it was Han Zhongjing who opened his mouth, and he smashed his mouth and said lightly: "Your master came once without wine when you left Qiuluo City and returned to Meiwu City. We hadn't seen each other for years, and we had a long talk that night. Senior brother's departure, it's not that simple, and the thing he wants to fight for will make many people red-eyed. Not only our Jianghu people from Great Wei, but there must also be people from Nanliang, as for the result and what will happen to your master, I don't know. However, your master's strength is far beyond ordinary people, and it is no problem to protect yourself in any situation, so I can assure you that you don't have to worry too much. ”

When Shen heard this, his heart was settled.

Han Zhongjing looked at him with a somewhat relieved expression, and said with some relief: "Boy, live well, only by living can there be other possibilities." ”

As a doctor, he is used to seeing life and death, so the word "alive" is of great significance from Han Zhongjing's mouth, and Shen Jing also knows it.

"Uncle Zhu, Uncle Han, I will leave as soon as possible after this incident."

Hearing this, the two nodded.

Shen Guo drank one bowl of wine after another, and couldn't stop, and the same was true for Zhu Tan and Han Zhongjing.

Xu felt that the atmosphere on the table was a little depressing, so Zhu Tan diverted the topic and asked Shen Jing with a smile: "Tell uncle about you and the little girl of the Jiang family, why haven't you seen your adult uncle for a while." Hahaha, good job! ”

Zhu Tan also gave Shen Jing a thumbs up as he spoke, very proud, as if he had done something terrible himself.

Hearing this, Han Zhongjing glanced at Shen Jing, and also smiled to himself, and he was terrifying.

Shen Jing put down his wine glass and explained with some embarrassment: "Uncle Zhu, it's not what you think." What is my uncle's, that's all an agreement between me and Jiang Ning. I promised her three things, she hid the secret of her identity for me and Su Yao, it's as simple as that. ”

Zhu Tan showed an expression after hearing this, but in the end, it was the old rivers and lakes, even if he knew a little bit about the love and love of these ups and downs, so he smiled and said: "I don't think so!" Now that the relationship between the two of you is well known in the rivers and lakes, he can still tell the world that this thing is fake, so do you want the reputation of the little girl? And the uncle looks at that little girl is really good to you, looking at you is the same as Su Yatou and Shi Yu's girl, her eyes are full of flowers! ”

As soon as Han Zhongjing heard this, he immediately became angry, and did not scold Zhu Tan first, but pointed at Shen Jing and said urgently: "Stinky boy, don't answer Shi Yu's idea, I am such a precious apprentice, and I am still waiting for her to inherit my mantle!" ”

When Zhu Tan heard Han Zhongjing's words, he smiled very unjustly: "Old man Han, what are you fooling up with the matter between other children!" I think Shi Yu's girl and Xiao Jing'er are quite compatible, and they can inherit your mantle if they are abducted, don't worry. ”

The two of them drank a little too much wine at this time, and as soon as Zhu Tan finished speaking, Han Zhongjing scolded: "Zhu Pifu, what kind of?" ”

Zhu Tan was not angry, but laughed, and then the two began to expose each other's secrets. Zhu Tan didn't care, no matter what Han Zhongjing said, he hit his weakness and firmly gained the upper hand.

Shen Guan watched the two of them quarrel, and smiled bitterly for no reason, where is this, why did he start scolding now when he was talking about serious things just now.

Shen couldn't help it, so he had to watch the two pinch each other for a while before stopping.

After the two were tired of arguing, Shen Jing mastered the words and told Xiang'er's identity. Last time, Han Zhongjing only learned a little bit and didn't delve into it much. This time, he and Zhu Tan both had the same opinion on the Yan Ren in Shen Kuang's mouth, and most of them were the sect leader of the Star Moon God Sect rumored on the rivers and lakes.

For Xiang'er, although the sword creature is very rare, but throughout history, there are still similar records. Of course, both of them understood the preciousness of the sword spirit, so they both told Shen Jing to be strict and guard against it, and not to reveal the slightest hint of Xiang'er's identity as his own life experience.

Even they couldn't see through Xiang'er's identity, so they could imagine the terrifying strength of the former sect leader of the Star Moon God Sect.

As a result, Zhu Tan and Han Zhongjing even told Shen Guan a lot of ancient rumors, about the mysterious and mysterious Grandmaster Realm. The master had never told him about the specific realm before, and Uncle Zhu said that ordinary people usually only knew the four realms of broken body, Vientiane, Guiyuan and grandmaster, but in fact, there were subdivisions above the grandmaster realm.

Above the grandmaster, climb the ladder. With the fifth level as the boundary, the fifth level and below are called the minor grandmasters, the five levels and above are collectively called the great grandmasters, and the tenth-level great grandmasters are even called the great masters of the stopping path, and they have not appeared for many years. As for the realm above the Dao, Zhu Tan and Han Zhongjing didn't know, they only knew some from the fragments of ancient books, but they couldn't say why it was different from their grandmaster realm. However, they told Shen that the secrets of the five families in the East China Sea and the thing that his master was fighting for this time were all related to the secret above the Grandmaster Realm.

Those trivial matters had already been put aside by Shen Jing at this time, and Shen Jing was very attracted to listening to Uncle Zhu and Uncle Han talk about the cultivation realm.

The three of them went back and forth between pushing cups and changing lamps, but the fourth pair of dishes and chopsticks was always empty.
