Chapter 231: The Shadow (I)

() Qiao Zhengyu comforted: "I can understand Brother Yan's mood, but everything has ups and downs, Mantuo Villa has gone through a hundred years, and the current situation is also a natural law, not Brother Yan's problem." Brother Yan doesn't have to blame himself too much, it's better to want to open up everything, don't get caught up in it anymore and can't extricate yourself. ”

Yan Shigui said: "Thank you Qiao Shaoxia for your enlightenment, it's not that I don't understand this truth, but as the inheritor, I can't face such an ending when I see the villa decaying day by day, and who can understand the pain in my heart." Hey, don't say it, let Qiao Shaoxia see the joke. He got up and walked under the plaque, looking up and staring silently.

It only took a long time before he turned around and continued: "Since then, the mountain villa has been getting worse day by day, and the people in the martial arts have gradually become estranged from the mountain villa. My father couldn't bear to see this situation, so he simply disbanded all the people in the village, including the four protectors. Soon after, my father also died of depression in loneliness and self-blame.

"From then on, I was the only one left in a huge mountain villa. As a martial arts holy land that once dominated the rivers and lakes, I couldn't accept such an ending, so I made the choice to leave the villa in anxiety and panic, and has been wandering around ever since.

"Over the years, I have been adrift and suffered, but I have rarely returned. It's not that I have no feelings for the villa, but on the contrary, it is precisely because the position of the Mantuo villa in my heart is too important for me to face the fact of decay, so I have no shame to go home without a face. Because of this, I can't forgive my father's behavior after all, which is why I don't want to come back. ”

"I see. ”

When everyone heard this, they all sighed and sighed that fate was twists and turns.

Qiao Zhengyu said: "I didn't expect that Mantuo Mountain Villa still has such a history, if it weren't for Brother Yan talking to us, we wouldn't have believed it." However, there is one more thing I don't understand, as soon as we entered the door, we were restrained, and those people seemed to know that we were coming, so they waited for us in the village.

"Not only that, but those people also keep claiming that they are members of the Tianlong Gang, as if they are afraid that others will not know, which is really arrogant and bold. Dare to ask Brother Yan, do you know what the Heavenly Dragon Gang is about, and what they came to Mantuo Villa for?"

Yan Shigui hesitated for a moment and said, "When I wandered the rivers and lakes, I also heard about some deeds of the Tianlong Gang. This Tianlong Gang is a very mysterious organization in the martial arts in recent years, I heard that its power is distributed in the country, and the gang is full of masters, and it is very famous in the rivers and lakes.

"Especially their helper, who has a mysterious background, acts strangely, sees the head but does not see the end, and ranks first in the world in martial arts. I don't know the Tianlong Gang, so it stands to reason that I don't have any holidays with them, so I shouldn't provoke them. He shook his head and sat down, bewildered.

Zhang Wuji said: "Do you see if there is such a possibility, they are also here for Langhuan Jade Cave, otherwise, I really can't think of any other reason, the dignified Tianlong Gang will come to this barren mountain and wild place." ”

"Well, I think that's the only possibility. During the day, they had their eyes on Lord Yan Zhuang, and if we hadn't found out in a hurry, Lord Yan Zhuang would have fallen into their hands now. Hu Yi nodded beside him and said.

Qiao Zhengyu pondered:

"This possibility is extremely high, the Tianlong Gang has many eyes and ears, if you want to find someone, it is naturally not difficult. Besides, in the inn, Brother Yan's affairs are known to everyone, let alone the Tianlong Gang. It seems that the charm of this Langhuan Jade Cave is not small, and it has attracted the Tianlong Gang to also eyed it, wanting to seize it quickly. ”

Yan Shigui listened, sighed deeply, and said: "Hey, Langhuan Jade Cave was originally a retreat and cultivation place left by the ancestors, and it contained the martial arts of various sects and sects on the rivers and lakes. It is intended that our descendants will inherit the ancestral ruins and carry forward the Mantuo Villa.

"How can it be that since the ancestors, its descendants are not as good as the generation, and the Langhuan Jade Cave has simply become an ornament, which has long been abandoned by the owners of the past generations for many years and rarely goes. The funny thing is that I can't imagine that a hundred years later, the people in the rivers and lakes will be more interested in Langhuan Jade Cave than we in Zhuangzhong, isn't this a huge irony. ”

Thinking of the depths, Yan Shigui couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he looked helpless.

But seeing that it was not early outside the window, Yan Shigui said again: "It's late today, and everyone must be tired." Mantuo Villa has not been so lively for a long time, I think everyone might as well stay in the village tonight, so that I can respect the friendship of the landlord. ”

Everyone saw that Yan Shigui was very sincere, and it was not easy to refuse, so they had to nod and agree.

As a martial arts family, there are naturally many rooms in the village. Yan Shigui arranged everyone one by one, and then set up a banquet to invite everyone. After drinking until the second watch, everyone left the table and went back to their rooms to rest.

After sleeping until the fourth watch, Qiao Zhengyu suddenly woke up from his dream, perhaps because he had drunk a lot of wine at night, and his mouth was unbearably thirsty.
