Volume 2 Chapter 27 Ten Thousand Flowers Fall and the Feathers Wither (13)
Su Xuan did not explain anything else. He believes in Gong Ruo's ability to handle things, and he also believes in his ability to recognize people.
Since he entrusted all these things to Gong Ruo, then don't ask any questions. Give the information to Gong Ruo and let her analyze it herself and deal with it herself.
The journey of the Kunlun people is over, but Su Xuan still has one last thing to do. He rode in a carriage, swaying all the way, and returned to Xuanmen Mountain,
The intimacy at the foot of Xuanmen Mountain could not wash away the heaviness of his feet, and he walked step by step to the town at the foot of the mountain.
found a small market selling vegetables, bought the peppers and meat that Aunt Qiao had always been too expensive and refused to make for himself, and then he carried these things to the small inn opened by Aunt Qiao.
Everything was so natural, as if the Vientiane fan he could cover everything had become a burden. Su Xuan didn't want Aunt Qiao to know that she knew about occultism, he only wanted Aunt Qiao to feel that she was an official and noble.
Walking on the street, Su Xuan seemed to see another familiar figure.
After the man saw Su Xuan, he also waved his hand slightly, and Lianbu walked lightly in front of Su Xuan.
"Why are you here?" asked Su Xuan with an expressionless face.
"This is where we first met. Yan Luo said with a smile.
"Nope. Su Xuan shook his head, "I've seen you many times, but you haven't seen me." ”
"Anyway, that's where I first met you. Yan Luo smiled again.
Su Xuan stared at Yan Luo tightly, he didn't want to repeat what he had already said, he just emphasized asking the other party to get to the point.
"I'm naturally here to look for you, the Academy of Martial Arts is gone, and I don't know where to look for you, so I'll stay here and find you when news of you arrives, or when you appear here in person. Yan Luo said.
"What are you looking for me for?" Su Xuan asked again.
Yan Luo looked around and whispered as if it were a secret: "My father is going to summon you." ”
Su Xuan was shocked. An extremely strong bad omen hung over his body. Although he didn't know any divination methods such as divination and astrology, this summoning of the old Emperor Yan still made him feel a little ...... The comers are not good.
He couldn't help but whisper in his heart.
Seeing his expression, Yan Luo smiled slightly and said, "It's not a Hongmen banquet, my father has temporarily decided to let you take up a high-ranking position, so I came to congratulate you in advance." ”
"What high-ranking official can't be said after the Peacock Treasure Incident is over?" asked Su Xuan.
"It is the important position to represent the old call to participate in this Peacock Treasure Incident. Yan Luo said, "Your previous performance was seen by my father, so he decided to reward you and promote your position." ”
Su Xuan was silent. Only then did he realize that he was actually an old caller, although he never obeyed the laws of the old call, and never regarded himself as an old caller, but when he joined the Duwu Academy, his household registration had already been registered in the old call.
"You have to think about it. Su Xuan suddenly said, "What kind of father of yours, but our ......"
Yan Luo suddenly stretched out his hand and covered Su Xuan's mouth.
Su Xuan was suddenly taken aback, it turned out that Yan Luo did not go to Xuanmen Mountain alone on this trip. Although it looks like Yan Luo and Su Xuan met on the street, in fact, among the few tourists who come and go around, there may be eyeliner installed by the old Zhao Yan Huang.
Yan Luo was not "conveying his father's instructions" at all, but conveying a crisis signal to Su Xuan.
It can only be said that fortunately, fortunately he did not go up the mountain, fortunately he did not reveal his identity in between. If Yan Luo is not there, as soon as Su Xuan is nostalgic, he will go up the mountain. At that point, his identity was completely revealed.
Yan Luo blocked here just to block Su Xuan and prevent him from going up the mountain. Otherwise, if there is something important, flying pigeons can solve all problems.
This kind of topic, which can only be understood but not spoken, can only be communicated between two smart people by this means.
Secretly admiring Yan Luo's wit in his heart, Su Xuan nodded, signaling that he understood. Yan Luo let go of his hand at this time, then turned his back and whispered, "Our business...... I'm afraid my father won't agree in the short term, don't mention it yet, wait until your strength improves. ”
Su Xuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded again and said, "Okay." ”
In Su Xuan's heart, Yan Luo's words actually had a deep meaning, that is, he was persuading Su Xuan to slow down after entering the palace, now the power of the old emperor is too strong, even if he enters the palace, Su Xuan does not have a 1 in 10,000 chance of assassinating the other party.
But in fact, Yan Luo's words have two meanings, a pun, and both meanings are what she wants to express.
"Then, I'm going to meet one of my elders in a while, will you go with me?" Su Xuan asked when he mentioned the vegetables he bought.
Yan Luo nodded, then turned around and lowered his head to prevent Su Xuan from seeing his expression.
Su Xuan didn't look at her expression, Yan Luo turned around, and Su Xuan turned around: "Come with me." ”
Yan Luo was stunned for a moment, and then quickly followed.
Aunt Qiao's small inn is still some distance from here. Although this town is not big, it still takes a certain amount of time to walk on two diagonal feet.
Walking to Aunt Qiao's small inn, the inn that has been tepid is still full of those resident drinkers.
Su Xuan walked in the door, said hello to the old drunkard, and then walked to the kitchen.
Aunt Qiao was very happy when she saw Su Xuan, and hurriedly invited Su Xuan to do it. Su Xuan smiled, then took out the vegetables he had just bought and put them in front of Aunt Qiao.
After a while, Aunt Qiao brought the hot dishes to Su Xuan's table, and under Su Xuan's kind invitation, Aunt Qiao also sat on the table and ate.
The old drunkard smelled the aroma of the food in a daze, and followed him, but was scolded by Aunt Qiao with a smile.
Yan Luo watched from the sidelines, just smiling, not making a sound.
The people at the table eat harmoniously like a family, but in fact, these four people are not related by blood.
After she was full of wine and food, Aunt Qiao pulled Su Xuan to ask for warmth, and Su Xuan also answered them one by one. However, he has a Tiangang Dao heart, he can't lie, and he can't directly tell Aunt Qiao that he is a mystic, so he is very embarrassed.
When Gong Ruo saw this situation, he took over the topic. She is skillful and eloquent, lies and does not make drafts, deceives people without changing her face, and has witty words, which is deeply pleasing to Aunt Qiao.
I saw her say for a while how famous Su Xuan was in their country and how much he liked the emperor, and the emperor even wanted to marry his princess to him. He also said that he was also loved in other places, and he also worked as a teacher, teaching and educating people, and he was full of peach and plums.
Su Xuan couldn't help but blush when he heard these words, and he really didn't know how Yan Luo, a little girl who was not deeply involved in the world, said it.
However, the more Aunt Qiao looked at this girl, the more she liked it, and when she thought that this girl should be about the same age as her own girl, Aunt Qiao's eyes crossed a touch of loneliness.
She sighed softly, and Su Xuan's heart tightened when she saw this.
Then he turned his head to look at Su Xuan and said, "Xuan'er, you are honest, what happened to Linyi and Liyi now?"
Su Xuan was stunned, and he didn't know why.
"I see you're so busy these days, you should be looking for them, right?" Aunt Qiao said, "These things about their occult sorcerers, the fighting and killing are not over, and we ordinary people can't interfere, alas...... You just tell me what happened to them in the end. ”
Su Xuan was silent for a long time, and finally decided to tell Aunt Qiao the truth.
can't hide it, I really can't hide it, Su Xuan has never lied, even if he lies, he will definitely not be able to hide it from Aunt Qiao.
And...... He came here to tell Aunt Qiao the truth.
He himself failed to protect Lan Linyi and Lan Liyi, so he had to go back to report to Aunt Qiao. Even if Aunt Qiao accused him, he had nothing to say.
"I don't have the ability to protect them......," Su Xuan said, "Lan Liyi has sacrificed her ...... for her sister."
Aunt Qiao was stunned, and then asked, "Liyi...... Aren't you a Kunlun disciple?"
"The Kunlun disciples will also die, and the officers of the old call will also die. Nothing in this world lasts forever. Yan Luo said.
"What about Linyi?" said Aunt Qiao.
Lan Lin followed her...... decided to go to Kunlun instead of his sister to complete his sister's unfinished business. Su Xuan said.
Aunt Qiao was stunned again.
Su Xuan sighed, and then told everything he knew. Of course, he omitted his identity as a mysticist, and he also omitted how he knew about it. It's just that the person who pointed out the feather of substitution was transformed into "there is a superior person".
Aunt Qiao listened to all the stories in a daze, then looked at Su Xuan, and said in a low voice: "Xuan'er, you will be developed in the future, but you must hire a Xuanshu to protect Linyi." ”
Su Xuan nodded solemnly.
"Auntie doesn't have anything for you...... Xuan'er, you bring that piece of substitution. Aunt Qiao said, "There is not much I can do, as long as you teach me how to use it." ”
Su Xuan didn't covet the Feather of Substitution, because this Tongxuan Spirit Treasure was too heavy. Its meaning is too profound, and now Su Xuan doesn't want to use it.
He handed it to Aunt Qiao and then taught Aunt Qiao how to use it. There is no threshold for the use of the Feather of Substitution, when Lan Liyi got it, she had just cultivated Xuan, and her strength was pitifully low. But she can still use it to pray for her sister.
After a series of rituals, Aunt Qiao asked, "Xuan'er, should I take this thing with me?"
"You just have to put it out of the reach of others. The purpose of carrying it with you is to prevent it from being lost, and to prevent others from taking it away from the relationship of substitution. As long as you don't lose it, that's okay. ”
"Oh...... Then you take it. Aunt Qiao said, "I can trust you." ”
Su Xuan took the heavy feather, and then nodded solemnly.
"Yes, there is. Aunt Qiao asked, "Is what you said today true?"
Tiangang Dao heart, do not go against the heart, whether it is against the heart of words or actions against the heart.
Su Xuan was silent for a long time, and then nodded.
Tiangang Dao suddenly felt a sharp pain, but then it disappeared.
Su Xuan hurriedly ran Xuanli to check, and the Dao heart was still crystal clear, and there was not a single crack.
Where no one could see, the red feather withered a fluff.
