Volume III Chapter 5 Clues

……

Five days later.

Tianmu Domain, Yunji Town.

Gathered in the small restaurant, people come and go, business is booming, many monks who are tired of traveling and traveling will choose to settle down here and eat a delicious hot pot.

In the corner of the inn, surrounded by a landscape screen, Xu Mu and Jiuxian took off their masks and sat in chairs.

"Every time I travel, I will go to this restaurant to eat shabu mutton, the red soup tastes excellent, you can try it." The wine fairy pointed to the freshly boiled hot pot on the table.

Then, he couldn't wait to put a chopstick of freshly cooked mutton into his mouth, and then he was hot, but he refused to spit it out.

Xu Mu put down the bronze mirror, looked at the wine fairy and said helplessly: "I really don't understand, what is delicious about hot pot." ”

"Red soup and white soup, cooked meat and raw meat, as long as it's not barbecue, isn't it all the same taste?"

The wine fairy smiled, squinted his eyes and said, "You'll know if you taste it yourself." ”

"Pretending to be a ghost." Xu Mu chuckled, took a chopstick of mutton from the red soup pot, dipped it in the sauce and put it in his mouth.

Then, in an instant, a strange light flashed in front of Xu Mu's eyes.

"It smells so good!"

Seeing this, the wine fairy seemed to have expected it, and said with a smile:

"I'll just say, you ate this thing once, and you will want to come again in the future."

Xu Mu nodded: "Indeed." ”

After speaking, the wine fairy took a few more chopsticks of meat and put them on the plate.

The hot pot was steaming, similar to the clouds and mist hanging outside, and it was also raining on the green hills outside the window.

Seeing the green mountains, the scenery is pleasant, the hot pot is delicious, and the watermelon-flavored air wafts into the restaurant, with the delicacies, which makes Xu Mu's tense nerves soothe a little.

"It's delicious, it's the most delicious meal I've eaten since I came out of the Taoist temple." Xu Mu chewed the mutton in his mouth gently, and sighed with emotion between his words, "It's just that this Yunji Town is the territory of the Bai family among the hundred clans, and it is a border area. ”

"Out of Yunji Town, I will go to the territory of the Nangong clan, and I don't know if I will have the opportunity to eat this red soup hot pot in the future."

When the wine fairy heard this, he smiled indifferently with his chopsticks: "What's this, anyway, this Bai clan is also a family that mainly attacks the Nangong clan." ”

"Cheng's, Dongfang's, and this Bai family, we all have to rebel, stay here for a while, you don't want to eat this hot pot for as long as you want."

Hearing this, Xu Mu shook his head and said:

"Of course, not all three are going to rebel, the top priority, I need to understand the situation of these three, the more detailed the better, and then I can choose which one to prioritize, after all, this is not an easy task in itself."

"For example, as you told me before, the Cheng family and the Nangong family are feuds, and it is impossible to resolve them, and I am wasting time to rebel against them, isn't it useless."

"This ......," the wine fairy smacked his lips when he heard this, put down his chopsticks and said, "Actually, I don't know much about these grievances, it's just hearsay, and it may not be accurate." ”

Xu Mu waved his hand and said, "That's better than I don't know anything." ”

"Senior, please speak."

The wine fairy was helpless: "Okay, then let's start with the Bai family." ”

"I know that the contemporary head of the Bai family, named Bai Yun, is a woman in the realm of domain masters, who is about the same age as me and has very strong strength."

"Decades ago, she and Nangong Yu of the Nangong family, that is, Nangong Huaitian's grandfather, were Taoist couples, and the two fell in love, but Bai Yun was only a side of the Bai family at that time, so Nangong Yu's father obstructed it in every possible way, and even wanted to sever the father-son relationship several times, but he couldn't change Nangong Yu's determination."

"It's just that the world is unpredictable, and in the end Bai Yun was abandoned, Nangong Yu married the county lord of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Xi Lengxue, and soon after the two got married, Xi Lengxue became pregnant."

"And Bai Yun ran to Lethe River in despair, drank the water of forgetfulness, and at the same time devoted himself to cultivation for several years, climbing step by step from an inconspicuous sideline, and finally broke through to the peak of the domain master and became the head of the Bai family."

When Xu Mu heard this, he couldn't help but be speechless:

"Emotional sadness, forgetting love water, and even breaking through to the domain master with this."

"It seems that this Bai Yun is determined to take revenge on the Nangong family."

The wine fairy nodded, sighed, and said:

"Yes, there are 80,000 words in the world, only love words hurt the most, for so many years, Bai Yun's only motivation for practicing hard is to take revenge on Nangong Yu, but in the end, he failed to succeed in revenge."

"Because long before she became the domain master, Nangong Yu and Xi Lengxue had already died in the forbidden land."

"At that time, the entire cultivation world was shaken, because Nangong Yu was carrying the blood of the Heavenly Phoenix, as long as he didn't die, it was almost a sure thing to become the king of people."

"Dead?" Xu Mu was stunned when he heard this, and then seemed to think of something, frowned and asked, "I want to know, why did Nangong Yu and Xi Lengxue go to the forbidden land?" ”

The wine fairy shook his head: "I don't know. ”

"And it's not just me, even most of the people in the Nangong clan don't know, the death of the two of them is like a secret, maybe only the ancestor of their clan knows."

When Xu Mu heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter:

"You said before that Nangong Yu would rather ignore the breakdown of the relationship between father and son than Bai Yun to separate, so why did she marry Xi Lengxue in the end, is there any secret in this?"

"I don't know about that either." The wine fairy shook his head again, sighed and said, "Actually, many people didn't understand why Nangong Yu gave up Bai Yun back then, and even many elders couldn't figure it out, so in the end they could only attribute everything to a change of heart. ”

"But in my personal inference, Nangong Yu is an upright person, and he shouldn't betray Bai Yun."

"Moreover, after marrying Xi Lengxue, he was seriously injured once, but few people know about it, and the reason for his injury is even more secret, even I don't know who did it."

Xu Mu raised his eyebrows slightly: "In this way, there may really be a hidden secret in this." ”

"Brew Fairy, I want to investigate this matter in detail."

A trace of regret flashed in the wine fairy's eyes, and he sighed: "It's difficult, it's been decades since those things happened, even if there were people who knew the inside story at that time, they are already dead now, and the rest are all old monsters who can't be closed, and they only have one breath left, and it is impossible to see us." ”

Xu Mu put down his chopsticks and said:

"Senior, words can't be said to die, at present we only have this one clue."

"Please take me to the people who knew about it, and if they don't see it, I'll find a way to let them see it."

"This ...... I don't really know. The wine fairy scratched his head and said, "Nangong Yu and I can only be regarded as general friends, so it was just hearsay just now. ”

"I don't really know who the people in the know were back then, but we can go to the gold and silver merchants in the town."

The wine fairy said, with a serious face: "There is a lot of information there, as long as you have money." ”

When Xu Mu heard this, he sighed silently and got up: "Then let's go." ”

"I probably don't have anything else."

"But money, I have."
