Volume 5: The First Song Four Hundred and Seven: The Aftermath (I)

Now let's talk about what happened in Ruixuan Town.

Mr. Zhuang went to the immortal, the old shopkeeper was sad, knelt there and whimpered for a while before remembering that he should tidy up his appearance, as for the future, the old shopkeeper knew that this was not his own concern, Mr. Zhuang such a character died, and those old friends in his Wuling Sect would definitely take care of it, thinking of this, he looked at the letters that Mr. Zhuang had just written and handed over to him, these are now important objects, he hid them closely, and someone will definitely come to pick them up.

When the morning just arrived, at this time Qian Chao had realized that Mr. Zhuang had an accident, and was desperately rushing to Ruixuan Town, the sky was a little gloomy this day, it was already early in the morning, but the morning light was never able to dispel the gloom that permeated Ruixuan Town, making it seem gloomy and gloomy here, it was obviously morning, but at a glance, there was always a feeling that the twilight was approaching, which seemed very depressing, and at this time Ruixuan Town was also very quiet, and the street where Yimingxuan was located was not spacious, and it was not a lively street market. Therefore, it was deserted, and at some point there were two old men on this street, one tall and thin and the other short and fat, these two people walked slowly along the street while looking at the signboards of the shops on both sides of the road, and finally stopped outside the door of Yi Mingxuan.

At this time, Yi Mingxuan did not open the door, and after the two people looked up, the short and fat man stepped forward and patted the door.

"Who, don't do business today." The voice of the old shopkeeper came from inside the closed door.

"Open the door, we're not here to buy tea." The stocky man said in front of the door.

It's not to buy tea, the old shopkeeper listened to his heart moved, if it was Mr. Zhuang's old friend in the Wuling Sect, he would have called out the name of the old shopkeeper directly, and now the people outside only said that they didn't come to buy tea, which is strange, Mr. Zhuang said before he died, those people are coming, the old shopkeeper naturally knows what kind of people Mr. Zhuang said, thinking of this, he probably guessed who the people are outside, sighed, and opened the door from the inside.

There is a short and fat old man standing in front of the door, his hair is sparse, it seems that this person's head is very wide, and oily, because there is a lot of flesh on the face, so the eyes appear long and thin, the nose under the eyes is like a lump of flesh is very conspicuous, the sparse hair is almost pinned to the back of the head with a thin wooden hairpin, the beard is a lot, the white ball floats on the chest, this person is wearing a gray robe, standing there with a shy stomach, looking up at the old shopkeeper, well, I have to say that the eyebrows and eyes of this short and fat old man are somewhat similar to Mr. Zhuang.

And behind this short and fat old man, there is a tall and thin old man standing with his hands in his hands, this person's height is almost half a body taller than the short and fat old man in front of him, because of the height, the figure seems to be a little rickety, but also gray hair, a lock of goatee under the chin, this old man's eyes are not big, the eye bags are not small, the flesh on a thin face is like melting hot wax flowing downward, it looks old, the old man squinted when the old shopkeeper came out, A sharp gaze shot out of the gap between the upper and lower eyelids, which were almost closed, and stared at the old shopkeeper tightly.

The short and fat old man looked up at the old shopkeeper, and asked in a somewhat dull voice:

"Is this teahouse Zhuang Qi's, is he in it?"

"...... you?" The old shopkeeper asked hesitantly.

"His old man, well, the old man is still his elder, if he is here, you let him come out to greet the old man."

Hearing this, the old shopkeeper had already concluded that these two people must be from Yingzhou, Mr. Zhuang is from Yingzhou, then his elders must also be, Mr. Zhuang is not wrong, they really came.

At this time, the tall and thin old man behind him spoke, and his voice was slightly sharp:

"Lao Zhuang, you are also dizzy, hehe, you only think that you are Zhuang Qi's old man, don't you recognize that this person in front of you is also an old man?"

"Oh?" The short and fat old man listened and raised his head to look at the old shopkeeper carefully, and after looking at it for a while, he suddenly slapped his thigh with his fat palm, and said, "Ah, I recognize it, you are the one who has been serving by Zhuang Qi's side, what is your name...... What is it called...... Pack...... Bao Jiang, right? ”

The old shopkeeper's name is Bao Jiang, and now that his name has been broken, he is even more sure that these two people must be extraordinary people in Yingzhou, but unfortunately, even if they find Mr. Zhuang, it will be too late.

"It's Bao Jiang below, dare to ask Your Excellency, are you Zhuang Harmony, the great elder of the Zhuang clan among the seven surnames?" The old shopkeeper asked cautiously.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to remember the old man, yes, the old man is Zhuang Harmonic, well, the change in your kid is not small, when he fled with Zhuang Qi, he was still a young man, and his appearance is also pleasing to the eye, why is he old like this now, I almost can't recognize it, eh, don't gossip, Zhuang Qi is not here, hurry up and let him come out to see the old man."

When the short and fat old man Zhuang was talking, the tall and thin old man behind him kept staring at the old shopkeeper.

"Alas, Mr. Zhuang...... He's ...... But...... It's gone......"

The short and fat old man had a blank face and said:

"What do you mean by that, since you are here, let him come out, is that kid's shelf so big now? Even if this is Middle-earth, I haven't seen him for many years, and he doesn't go out to greet the elders when they come to the door? ”

"No, Elder Zhuang, Mr. Zhuang...... Alas...... He is already dead, and if you two had arrived a few hours earlier, you would have seen him for the last time. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhuang Huan and the tall and thin old man were startled at the same time.

"What! Impossible, how could it be so coincidental that he died as soon as we arrived, did he deliberately avoid us? ”

"Alas, I don't dare to deceive the two of you, Mr. Zhuang's bones are not cold, just in the courtyard, the two of you don't believe it, come in and take a look."

The old shopkeeper made a gesture of invitation as he spoke, and then took the two into the small courtyard behind Yi Mingxuan.

In the small courtyard, Mr. Zhuang sat in the circle chair he usually sat on, sitting straight, his hands on the armrests of the chair, facing the three people who walked in, which was the old shopkeeper helped Mr. Zhuang tidy up, it is strange to say, they have all passed away, but Mr. Zhuang still has a faint smile on his face, and even the look in his eyes has not faded by half a minute, which makes Zhuang Huan and the tall and thin old man who walked in suddenly shocked when they saw it, and immediately thought that the old shopkeeper was lying, this Zhuang Qi was obviously not dead but falsely claimed to be dead, I didn't know what the other party was going to do, so the two of them immediately became vigilant. The old shopkeeper bowed deeply to Mr. Zhuang and then stood behind Mr. Zhuang. At this time, these two people also found that Mr. Zhuang on the chair did not make any moves, these two people can be regarded as top figures in Yingzhou or Zhongzhou, there are a few people's aura fluctuations here They naturally understand, now there are only three people's aura fluctuations in this small courtyard, although Mr. Zhuang sits in the chair and is lifelike like a living person, but with a little induction, you can know that the chair is already a lifeless corpse.

Zhuang Hui was very disappointed, took a closer look, and then turned back to the old man and said:

"Hey, ram, he's really dead, alas, he's a step too late, this kid won't die sooner or later, but he died before you and I arrived, but he really knows how to pick the time!"

The tall and thin old man stepped forward with a complicated face and quietly looked at the deceased Mr. Zhuang, his face was very gloomy, and finally he sighed and said:

"Alas...... He has escaped all his life, and we have been chasing him for a lifetime, and finally got news of him, and thought that he could be caught this time, but I didn't expect him to escape in this way in the end, this time...... We can't catch up with him anymore, but it's a pity ......"

The tall and thin old man has some relationship with Mr. Zhuang, in his opinion, Mr. Zhuang is extremely cunning and scheming, he heard the old shopkeeper say that Mr. Zhuang is dead when he doesn't believe it at all, thinking that Mr. Zhuang must be playing some tricks again, but after entering the small courtyard, with the familiarity with Mr. Zhuang for many years in the past, after repeated examination, he finally concluded that the chair is Mr. Zhuang's body, and now it can be confirmed that he was a friend of half his life and a strong enemy of half his life, The characters who made him both envious and fearful and hateful finally passed away, and the seven surnames of Yingzhou could finally sleep peacefully, because no one would be able to stir up the turmoil like the one in the past, and no one would be able to set off a huge wave that endangered the seven surnames of Yingzhou, but ...... The residual smile on Mr. Zhuang's face made him feel very dazzling, and the faint smile was like a mockery and bitter sarcasm for his last banter, which caused a lot of waves in the chest of the tall and thin old man.

The tall and thin old man sighed again, looked at the old shopkeeper and asked:

"You said we would have seen him a few hours earlier, which means he had just died, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhuang expected you to come, but his body has long been difficult to support, and the two of you can meet Mr. Zhuang for the last time even two hours in the morning." The old shopkeeper replied.

The short and fat Zhuang Harmonic asked:

"How the hell did he die? It stands to reason that it shouldn'......"

This sentence poked the sore spot in the old shopkeeper's heart, and he suddenly became angry, stared at the two and said:

"Of course, Mr. Zhuang should not go to the immortal at this time, he should not die, with his original cultivation for him, even if he ascends to the immortal, it is not too much, hum, if he is not seriously injured many times, how can he be like this, if he is not betrayed by his family first and betrayed by his best friend, how can he have today, he gave up everything, you will not let him go, even if you escape from Yingzhou, you still have to get rid of him, and the repeated pursuit and killing almost killed him, which made him run out of oil and the lamp can no longer survive...... Isn't it just taking advantage of the hearts of the two? ”

The short and fat Zhuang Harmonic shut up when he heard this, and the tall and thin old man snorted coldly and said:

"Hmph, you are loyal to him, we are doing that for Yingzhou, do we have to turn Yingzhou upside down?"

"Haha, for the sake of Yingzhou, what you say is good, what you think about is nothing more than to keep the status of the seven surnames in Yingzhou, Mr. Zhuang can make more monks in Yingzhou become you and become characters like Elder Zhuang, haven't you thought about what Yingzhou will be like like like that? Even if you have thought about it, you are never willing to give up what you already have, how does Yingzhou have anything to do with you, the most important thing is that your family can continue to rule Yingzhou, hmph, Mr. Zhuang said that the future decline of Yingzhou is on your seven surnames......"

"Enough ......"

"Shut up!"

The two of them scolded at the same time, and their faces were also ugly.

"The little also dares to boast in front of the old man, don't think that you can be presumptuous if this is Middle-earth!"

The old shopkeeper immediately said-for-tat:

"Haha, after Mr. Zhuang went to the next place, he felt that this world was boring, if the two of you felt that it was harsh, how about giving me a ride?"

The tall and thin old man said coldly:

"It's not impossible for you to go with him, but I still have to ask some things to understand, the old man heard that Zhuang Qi accepted a disciple here, well, he is a remnant of Xianzhou, is there such a thing?"

"Nope."

"Hmph, this is the Five Spirits Sect in Central-Continent, I heard that that disciple of Zhuang Qi is a person from the Five Spirits Sect, isn't it?"

"It's not."

"You!" The tall and thin old man said angrily, "You didn't mean to say it, did you?" ”

"Eh, what's the liver fire, I'll ask," the short and fat Zhuang Hui pulled the tall and thin old man aside, and then said to the old shopkeeper, "Bao Jiang, you can be regarded as following Zhuang Qi all your life, he ...... Well...... Did you teach that method? ”

As soon as he heard this, the tall and thin old man immediately stared at the old shopkeeper.

"It's passed, it's a pity that it's dull in Xia, that method is extremely mysterious, and I can't fully understand it in Xia, and I've only learned some skins, but even so, it's like being reborn in Xia compared to before."

"Oh!" Zhuang Huan's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Look, Ram, even if Zhuang Qi is gone, we are not here in vain, Bao Jiang, let me ask you, are you willing to return to Yingzhou with us." ”

"I don't want to."

"You!" Zhuang Harmony suddenly froze.

"Characters like Mr. Zhuang have been calculated by you like this, and the serious injury of a body has caused Dengxian to be hopeless and finally die in a foreign country, wouldn't I go back to Yingzhou with you as a piece of meat and send it to the chopping board?" The old shopkeeper said.

The tall and thin old man said coldly:

"You just said that you wanted to go with Zhuang Qi, what's the matter, you're afraid?"

"This world is full of burial places, and even if I die, I will die in a pure place."

"Bao Jiang," Zhuang Hui said again, "This Zhuang Qi is a member of our Zhuang clan, and now he is gone, and the fallen leaves have returned to his roots, and the old man will take him back for burial when he leaves, and he will ...... when the time comes."

"No," said the old shopkeeper, "Mr. Zhuang has an account of what happened to him. ”

"Oh, what did he say?"

"He wrote a few letters on his deathbed."

"Where is the letter?"

"Yes, you do, there are letters, but none of them are for you, so how can I show them to you? As for Mr. Zhuang's funeral, the two of them don't have to worry about it, someone will definitely bury him in a proper place. ”

"Did he record his method?" The tall and thin old man asked.

"Then I don't know, Mr. Zhuang's funeral, as well as how to arrange the relics he left behind, will wait for his old friend to arrive and read the letter. I am very curious, Mr. Zhuang was hunted down and killed by you because of his method, and your original banner was to destroy Mr. Zhuang's rebellious and evil method, why are the two of you so interested in Mr. Zhuang's method now? ”

"You don't have to worry about this, you just have to ...... Well? ”

The tall and thin old man didn't finish his words and then looked up, and at the same time, Zhuang Harmony was the same, just now, the sky above the small courtyard was suddenly covered with a layer of bright color, and at the same time, a powerful aura fluctuation spread silently from all directions.

"Alas, I didn't expect us to be so careful and still be discovered." Zhuang Harmony said.

"Well, after all, this is the territory of the Five Spirits Sect, and it's normal for them to perceive us." The tall and thin old man raised his head and said, he recognized that this place had been wrapped in the formation, "It depends on who is looking for it next, the old man of the Five Spirits Sect also has a few guys he knows, and they are all extremely troublesome characters." ”
