266: The whereabouts of the wife, the Far North
This old and gentle voice, like a soft spring breeze, made Li Yun can't help but think of Sun Lao's words hundreds of years ago, his eyes flashed with a confused look, and the tyrannical emotions that suddenly rose in his heart disappeared at this moment.
Li Yun came back to his senses, looked at the old woman next to him, and showed a smile: "Old man, I did come back to seek refuge with my relatives." ”
The old woman was about sixty years old, with gray hair, a wrinkled face, and a bent back under the weight of life, but she was in good spirits, full of energy, and walked without crutches.
"The world is not easy," the old woman heard this, patted her back lightly to straighten her spine a little, her old eyes narrowed, looking Li Yun up and down, it seemed that only in this way could she see clearly.
"The Holy Emperor rules the world, it is peaceful, there has been no war for so many years, the last famine was thirty years ago, although life has been hard over the years, but it can barely support it, the next life, I look at you like this, there should be a small family in the family."
"Why did you run away from Longwu City?"
"Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read," Li Yun shook his head with a wry smile and didn't say much.
Hearing this, the old woman sighed clearly, she squinted her eyes and looked at Li Yun for a while, and sighed: "You are pitiful alone, Longwu City is a big place, and you don't have a place to settle down in the city alone, if you don't mind, the old woman has two empty rooms in the house, you can rest for a while." ”
Li Yun thought about it, secretly used the power of the ontology, and condensed a piece of silver ingot with his strength, he pretended to take it out of his pocket, and then handed it to the old woman: "Thank you old man, please accept it if you have any meaning." ”
Huayang County has been changed to Longwu City, one hundred and sixty-four years down, many things have changed in time, this was originally his base camp, but now it has become like this, the news about his wife and others, maybe it is difficult to find elsewhere, can only stay here for a while, looking for traces.
Li Yun believes that his wife will definitely leave a lot of information for him.
"No need," the old woman waved her hand to refuse, and sighed: "The old woman doesn't need so much money, and it's useless for you to give it to me, so I'll keep it myself." ”
"Thank you," Li Yun didn't force it, and when he saw this, he put away the silver.
The old woman smiled, stooped down and patted the dirt on her trouser legs, put the basket on her back again, followed the old woman with a word, and then walked slowly into the city.
Walking into the city, after more than a hundred years of absence, and now returning to this place, Li Yun surrounds him, feeling both familiar and strange.
For more than 100 years, Huayang County has become more Longwu City, and there are more buildings, but the streets are still exactly the same width and narrowness as before, and the pattern is almost the same.
Along the way, Li Yun also saw the breakfast restaurant he used to eat at, and the shopkeeper was a middle-aged man, and he didn't know how many generations it was.
"Do the old people know that this place used to be called Huayang County?" Li Yun asked suddenly.
"I know, the old woman has lived here for generations, and she is a local," the old woman replied without thinking, and her tone was a little embarrassed.
"I heard my mother's generation say that Longwu City was called Huayang County more than a hundred years ago, and it was a troubled time, but Huayang County was peaceful, and it was called the Peach Blossom Source by outsiders, and the development was excellent, and now after so many years, Huayang County has become Longwu City, but it is not as prosperous and calm as Huayang County a hundred years ago."
"But there are very few people who know about this, and they were from Huayang County before their later lives?" The old woman asked, and she didn't know what she thought, so she nodded to herself: "Yes, something happened back then, and many people left, maybe your ancestors left at that time." ”
Something happened?
Li Yun's eyebrows furrowed, and he was about to ask.
But the old woman stood at the gate of a courtyard and stopped: "Come home, young man, come in." ”
Li Yun followed in, the courtyard was a big courtyard with two in and two out, no wonder the old woman didn't want his silver, this courtyard was worth a lot of money.
"Old man, what happened in the first place?"
"Don't you know?" The old woman put down the vegetable basket and looked at Li Yun with a puzzled expression.
"It's been too long."
"No wonder," the old woman sighed, "I don't know why, the peaceful Huayang County suddenly collapsed, and the Holy Emperor sent a large army to come, in short, Huayang County collapsed all of a sudden." ”
She seemed reluctant to say more.
Li Yun frowned, his heart was irritable, and he wanted to use soul searching methods to directly obtain the other party's memory, but after thinking about it, he still gave up, the soul was too mysterious, he didn't have the power of the body now, and if he forcibly searched for the soul, it might have side effects.
"In the future, this courtyard will be lived by the old woman and my grandson, and there are still many empty rooms in the courtyard, you can just find a room to live in, the old woman will go to cook first, you clean up by yourself," the old woman picked up the vegetable basket and prepared to go to the room.
Seeing this, Li Yun turned around and left to find an empty room, this old woman should know something, Li Yun is going to learn how to accurately control the soul first, and then directly check the other party's memory later.
It will not take more than an hour.
There was only basic furniture in the room, the spacious room seemed very empty, and there was dust in many places, Li Yun waved his sleeves at will, and the cold wind swept through the room to take away all the dust.
Sitting cross-legged on the hardwood bed, Li Yun began to communicate the power of the body and meditate and study.
…
The old woman bent over, washed and cut the wild vegetables she had picked from outside the city, looked at the old clock hanging on the house, wiped the water on her hands, and trotted out of the room to a room in the backyard.
There were many tables in the room, and there were many spirit cards placed on the tables, and if you counted them carefully, there were at least dozens of them.
The old woman's eyes were full of respect, kneeling on the futon, skillfully lighting the three pillars of incense and bowing down.
Squeak...
The closed door was suddenly opened.
Dressed in brocade clothes, his face was as white as paper, and the thin young man with a flattering smile on his face kept saluting and bent over, and said while saluting: "Big brother, give me some time, I will definitely arrange it." ”
"Just a moment, just a moment."
As the young man spoke, the man outside snorted, kicked him in the ass, kicked him with a groan, and crawled into the house.
The old woman does not look at the young man.
The young man rubbed his buttocks, first sat on the ground with bared teeth and whispered, and then eased up to see the old woman burning incense with sincerity on her face, he knelt on the ground violently, hugged his grandmother, and cried bitterly: "Grandma, grandma, don't burn incense and worship Buddha, you save my life, if you don't help me, I will be killed by them, and our incense will be gone." ”
The old woman didn't pay attention, but respectfully inserted the incense into the incense burner, lowered her eyes and said calmly: "Pei Yuan, you went to gamble again." ”
"I... I'm not reconciled! Pei Yuan took a deep breath, his eyes reddened: "Grandma, you believe me, this is the last time, I promise not to gamble!" ”
"How much worse."
Pei Yuan's expression was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said: "Three thousand taels of silver!" ”
"No money," the old woman shook her head and refused, her old eyes did not have the slightest wave: "There are still ten taels of silver and one hundred and twenty copper plates left in the family, you can take it if you want, for so many years, the family assets have been almost defeated by you, and if you are defeated, you will be defeated." ”
Pei Yuan gritted his teeth and said: "Grandma, we still have this yard, I heard that people said that we will buy this yard for four thousand taels!" Let's sell it, and there will be a thousand taels, which is enough for the rest of my life. ”
"Impossible."
The old woman calmly refused, and her tone was unquestionable: "This is the land of the ancestors, the ancestors asked me to stay here, I can't sell this house, if I sell it, the old woman has no face to face the ancestors." ”
"So what do I do? Grandma, do you want to watch your grandson being beaten to death? I signed a deed of sale, and if I couldn't pay it back, they sold me to the alien beast as a snack! Pei Yuan stood up all of a sudden, and prayed: "Grandma, help me, you don't want our family's incense to be broken, you go in the future, I have to continue to help you and your ancestors." ”
When the old woman heard this, she glanced at this unsuccessful grandson, and her eyes moved slightly and then went out.
said lifelessly: "Then you better die, my Pei family doesn't have an unsuccessful beast like you, it's a big deal that when you die, the old woman will adopt a child, and he will help me continue to guard." ”
"Grandma!" Pei Yuan was angry, his face roared hideously, he pointed to the spirit card and said: "You have been guarding this broken place for decades, and your father and mother are also guarding it, you are guarding them when they die, and your ancestors have guarded them for more than a hundred years, have you guarded anything?" Zu Xun said to wait for that Venerable, he is afraid that he will die a long time ago, can we not continue to be dogs! ”
The old woman did not reply, but closed her eyes and continued to recite some kind of scripture.
Bang! The closed door was kicked open again.
Two strong men walked in, and the first middle-aged man dressed in white and dressed like a scholar glanced at the old woman, and then kicked Pei Yuan to the ground: "Useless thing!" ”
Pei Yuan was in pain and was kicked three meters away.
The man in white retracted his feet, looked down at the old woman, and said cruelly: "Old woman, don't be embarrassed, we will use the money to buy your shabby house, it is already very face-giving to you, don't let us tear our faces." ”
"The Yamen of the Divine Dynasty is not mediocre yet, the property is mine, you can tear your face, I will report to the official," the old woman said lightly without looking at the other party.
"What is an official, it was like this a hundred years ago, and it is still like this a hundred years later, it's funny! You old thing is shameless," the man in white said coldly: "The surroundings have been cleaned up, I will kill you now, and then frame your grandson, who will know?" The deed has been grinding for more than ten years, and I still don't believe that our Huanglong Gang can't eat it! ”
After that, the man in white flashed murderous intent in his eyes, and slapped the top of the old woman's head, the wind was whistling, obviously a person who practiced martial arts.
Bang!
Blood splattered like a watermelon exploded.
The man in white maintained a palm-down posture, and the whole person stiffened in place, and the next second it exploded, and the blood was incinerated to nothing in an instant.
Li Yun slowly walked into the room and looked at the few people who were scared stupid.
"More than a hundred years have passed, how did Huayang County have a Yellow Dragon Gang?"
Sighing, Li Yun flicked his fingers, and the air squeezed and made an explosive sound, and the visible air bomb exploded the two strong men.
After solving the three ants, Li Yun walked to the old woman's side, looked at the spirit card on the table, and when he reached the spirit card in the middle, his eyes paused for a moment, and he said in a complicated tone: "You are the descendant of Pei Niangzi?" ”
The old woman's expression, calm as stagnant water, was stunned for a moment, and she was about to speak.
"My name is Li Yun, one hundred and sixty-four years ago, I was the leader of the White Lotus Sect, and I told me everything."
Li Yun exhaled a deep breath of turbidity and said in a complicated way.
Peng!
The old woman kowtowed violently to Li Yun: "The seventh generation disciple of the White Lotus Sect White Lotus Vein, Pei Qing has seen the sect leader!" ”
The seventh generation... Li Yun's eyes were complicated: "Pei Niangzi, are you dead?" ”
Pei Qing raised his head, looked at the spirit card on the main table, and his tone became lower: "Grandmother, forty years ago, because she did not break through the grandmaster in martial arts, plus she was hurt too much when she was young, and she died in the end, our lineage is only with my grandmother's surname, my grandfather was picked up by my grandmother, and since then, my grandmother has told us that the task of our lineage is to wait for you to return." ”
"I passed away forty years ago..."Li Yun sighed, recalling Pei Niangzi's face a long time ago, as a Shenhuo powerhouse, he can clearly recall all of Pei Niangzi, the deceased is like Sifu, more than a hundred years have passed, these acquaintances can't withstand the erosion of time after all.
"I always thought you were just a legend, but I didn't expect that you really existed, Sect Master!" Pei Qing was sixty years old, but his face was extremely fanatical at this time.
Only she knows what kind of existence this person is.
This is the legend of Huayang County, the myth of being pressed in the long river of history by the entire Immortal God Dynasty.
More than a hundred years ago, one of the strongest martial artists in the world, the lord of Huayang County, became a great grandmaster at the age of twenty, and even fought with the Immortal Emperor without falling behind, far surpassing the ancient overlord, and was the god in the minds of all the disciples of their White Lotus Sect.
"Master, this is what your grandmother left you."
Pei Qing stood up, suddenly twisted the incense burner on the main one, the mechanism twisted, and a groove was taken out of the table, in which there was a small box.
Li Yun took the box and nodded: "Thank you." ”
After that, he was so nervous and anxious that he didn't have the heart to continue talking to the other party, so he disappeared directly and returned to the room.
Put the wooden box on the table, and after more than 100 years, this wooden box has shown signs of erosion by time, and it is very ancient.
Li Yun looked at the wooden box, sighed, and opened the wooden box.
There was nothing special in the box, just a piece of brown paper.
There is Juanxiu's handwriting written on it, which is Pei Niangzi's message.
After more than a hundred years, looking at the handwriting on it, Li Yun's expression was a little dazed, obviously it was just a blink of an eye for him, but more than a hundred years suddenly passed.
[Lord, since you suddenly disappeared and left, it has been a hundred years since the slave family led the disciples of the White Lotus Sect to stick to Huayang County, and I can tell that I am dying. When you see this brown paper, the slave family may no longer be there]
[The slave family believes that you will never die! Two years after your sudden departure, the demon gods have revived again, and the Immortal Emperor has led an army of 100,000 to attack Huayang County, and we have failed to resist]
[Emperor Changsheng has already broken the limit of the human body, swept all the way, we were defeated, Zhou Shuo left Huayang County with his wife and son, according to the letters they sent over the years, they should have gone to the extreme north]
