Chen Tiannan was originally reading in the study, but someone knocked on the door. Chen Tiannan didn't raise his head and said, "Come in!" ”

The subordinate pushed the door in, saluted respectfully and said: "Lord of the family, there is a young man who has come to visit, claiming to be the second disciple of the head of Shouyang Mountain in the north, and he has something important to inform the head of the family. ”

"Shouyang Mountain?" Chen Tiannan raised his head, whispered, and then said, "You go and prepare some refreshments, and I will meet you in person." The servant saluted respectfully and slowly exited the room.

Chen Tiannan changed his clothes, walked towards the waiting room, and walked all the way to the door. I saw a young man with a tall figure and a resolute face, standing and waiting in the waiting room.

Chen Tiannan looked his eyes up and down as he walked into the waiting room. Tao Qian, who was in the house, saw a very dignified middle-aged man come in, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "I have seen the head of the house." ”

Chen Tiannan stood in front of Tao Gan, his eyes revealing a sharp edge, carefully observing Tao Gan, and Tao Qian has always maintained a saluting posture.

Suddenly, Chen Tiannan smiled lightly, the momentum of oppression disappeared in a blink of an eye, and said, "No need to be polite, you are from that Shouyang Mountain?" ”

Tao Qian replied: "Yes, the junior came to meet the head of the family on the order of the master. As he spoke, Tao Qian took out the copy of "Sui Zhen" that the master handed over to him before he died, handed it over with both hands, and said, "This is given to me by the family teacher." ”

When Chen Tiannan saw this book, his eyes suddenly lit up, his expression changed, and he said solemnly: "What's the matter? What's wrong with your master?"

Tao Qian then explained all the causes and consequences, and Chen Tiannan on the side frowned more and more when he heard it, and when he heard Tao Gan say that the master was dead, he immediately shed tears of grief.

"Brother Xu Lin! Why did you leave first......" Chen Tiannan couldn't help himself, and choked up for a while. Tao Qian stood aside, and when he saw this situation, he couldn't help but say: "Although I don't know what kind of friendship the head of the family has with the master, but the master of the family has revealed his true feelings, and I have thanked the master for it." After saying that, he bowed with his fists.

Chen Tiannan calmed down at this time, and looked at Tao Qian with the care of the elders in his eyes. He grabbed Tao Qian, came to the table and sat down, and the table had already been set up with refreshments.

Chen Tiannan sighed and recalled the past: "I think that back then, I encountered a great disaster of life and death, but fortunately I met your master to rescue me, and then I traveled the world together. Your master and I hit it off at first sight, so we became brothers with different surnames. Later, the two of us went their separate ways, I inherited the position of the head of the family in Shanglin City, and your master went back to Shouyang Mountain, although it was eight thousand miles apart, but there were still letters from time to time. Who would have thought that your master would ...... Alas......"

Tao Qian listened to Chen Tiannan's words, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that there was still this past in his master, but it was a pity that he couldn't listen to him say it himself.

Chen Tiannan raised his head and looked at Tao Gan, and said, "Don't worry, Tao Qian's nephew, my brother's apprentice is also my apprentice, you can rest assured to live here, if you need help, just say it." ”

Tao Qian replied, "Lord of the family, I," Before he finished speaking, Chen Tiannan interrupted: "What is the name of the head of the family, just call me Uncle Chen!" Tao Qian immediately changed his words: "Yes, Uncle Chen!" ”

Chen Tiannan suddenly smiled: "That's right, Brother Xu Lin and I are sworn brothers, like a family, and nephews must not be separated." ”

Tao Qian nodded, signaling that he understood, and then said, "Don't hide it, I came to find Uncle Chen, and I did have something to ask for." ”

"Say!" Chen Tiannan replied proudly.

Tao Qian said slowly: "I can be sure that the one who destroyed my sect and killed my master and brother was an organization called the Worship Sect, but I know very little about it, and the information is very scarce, I want to ask Uncle Chen to help me check the news in this regard." ”

Chen Tiannan pondered for a while, and then said, "Worship the Sect? I thought about it just now, but I have never heard of this sect at all, but don't worry, nephew, I will do my best to help you. ”

"In this way, Tao Qian has thanked Uncle Chen!" Tao Qian got up from his chair and saluted. Chen Tiannan waved his hand indifferently: "You don't have to salute, it's all a family." ”

Tao Qian shook his head: "Uncle Chen is an elder, and now he is helping Tao Qian and helping Tao Qian find out the news, Tao Qian is grateful, but Tao Qian has nothing else but to bow and thank Uncle Chen, not to mention, the ceremony cannot be abolished." ”

Chen Tiannan couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction: "Brother has taught a good apprentice!" Then his face became serious, and he carefully advised: "Nephew, you must not show that book, Uncle Chen will read it today, and then you must not take it out easily, you must remember it!" ”

Tao Qian saw that Uncle Chen was so serious, and nodded: "My nephew knows, but what is the origin of this book, it seems that the people who worship the Confession Sect attacked Shouyang Mountain in order to seize Master's book." ”

Chen Tiannan looked left and right, and whispered: "This book is handed down in ancient times, it is said that there are seven books in the world, and this "Sui Zhen" is one of them, which is a treasure passed down from generation to generation in Shouyang Mountain. Each of these seven books records the mutilated corner of an ancient talisman, and legend has it that if you collect all the books and learn this talisman, you will become a god! That's why there are so many people who want to snatch these seven books, and the importance can be imagined, so you must protect this book, understand? ”

"How did it come from?" Tao Qian couldn't help but be surprised, and then replied with a serious face: "My nephew knows!" ”

Seeing that Tao Qian listened to his words, Chen Tiannan couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, and then said to Tao Gan: "Nephew, you are tired from running all the way, stay in my house first, and eat with me at night." ”

Tao Qian said with some emotion: "Thank you, Uncle Chen! ”

Chen Tiannan patted Tao Gan on the shoulder, summoned a subordinate, and ordered him to take care of Tao Gan, and cared for Tao Qian a little before leaving.

Tao Qian watched Chen Tiannan leave all the way, and was reminded by the person next to him: "Little brother, please come with me, go to the house arranged by the head of the family to rest for a while, and I will call you when dinner comes!" ”

Tao Qian saluted: "Thank you, big brother." The subordinate hurriedly waved his hand: "Little brother, I can't afford to be your gift, so please come with me." ”

Tao Qian smiled, followed behind the subordinate, and came to a room. I saw that it was a small courtyard, the space was open, the winding path outside the door was quiet, into the courtyard, the courtyard was spacious, there were stone tables and stone benches inside, the flowers and plants were flourishing, the fragrance was pleasant, the eaves hooked the corners, and it was so angry.

The subordinate pushed open the door, led Tao Qian in, and said: "Little brother, this is your room, this is a room specially used to receive the most distinguished guests, the head of the house personally ordered, are you still satisfied?" ”

Tao Qian looked, the room is fully equipped, all kinds of objects are placed neatly, a big bed is located in it, a big window is opened next to it, the sun pours in, the breeze blows in slowly, a lot of vegetation climbs on the windowsill, a look of antique, it is really a good place to live.

Tao Qian nodded and thanked: "I couldn't be more satisfied, thank you big brother for leading the way!" ”

"It's nothing, it's nothing, then little brother, you rest first, and I'll go"

Tao Qian sent out his subordinates with a smile, then closed the door, put down his burden, and sat at the table, remembering the way Uncle Chen treated him warmly today, and his heart couldn't help but flow through a warm current.

On the other side, Chen Tiannan was holding a carving knife, holding a wooden block in his hand, carving something. I saw the carving knife back and forth, flying up and down, and there were constantly sawdust on the ground, and after a while, a wooden spirit tablet was carved out, which read: Brother Xu Lin, rest in heaven.

Chen Tiannan came to the ancestral hall behind him, put the wood spirit card in the spirit card, lit three incense sticks, bowed three times seriously, and then inserted it into the incense burner, and said: "Brother Yi, my brother has seen your disciple, he is a good boy, you teach well." It's a pity that the two of us are forever separated by yin and yang, and we can't see each other again......" Speaking of this, Chen Tiannan burst into tears: "Hehe, look at me, crying again, I still remember that I promised you back then, I don't flick when I have tears, but now that you have gone west, how can I hold back my grief......

Chen Tiannan wept while chattering and recalling the past, the three incense sticks in the incense burner slowly became shorter, and then turned into ashes, silent in the incense burner.

The sun was setting quietly, the moonlight was shining quietly, and in a blink of an eye, it was time to talk about dinner. Tao Qian, led by the waiter, came to the dining hall and saw that a hot meal was already ready on the table. Tao Qian took a seat, closed his eyes and meditated, waiting for Uncle Chen's arrival.

"Huh? Were you waiting in the living room? Suddenly, there was a nice voice in his ears, Tao Qian opened his eyes and followed the sound, and found that it was the woman who passed in front of the waiting room at that time.
