Xu Changan approached the temple, and he faintly felt uneasy.

There was a "click", and a piece of rubble was trampled.

Xiao Bai stared at the front intently, frightened by this sound, and subconsciously rushed into Xu Changan's arms.

Xu Changan cautiously glanced around to confirm that there was no danger, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, he lifted Xiaobai's neck and smiled: "It's really the same as your father." ”

Xiaobai was lifted in mid-air, wagged his tail, and glanced at Xu Changan with disdain. Suddenly, the hair on his whole body exploded, he let out a strange scream, his limbs fluttered in the air, and he drilled into Xu Changan's arms.

Xu Changan saw Xiaobai's virtue, stuffed Xiaobai into his arms, and stared at the black hole room in front of him.

"Xu Gongzi is finally here, I have been waiting for you for a long time. ”

A gust of wind blew, the temple door creaked, as if it was about to fall down at any time, and the fallen leaves on the ground were also blown up, rolling, and it seemed that even the rotten beams of the house had the possibility of breaking at any time.

All of these things indicate the passage of life, dust will eventually return to dust, and earth will eventually return to earth.

Even the voice that came came smelled of old decay.

The candles in the room slowly lit up, and together with a thin old man with his back to Xu Changan, wearing a robe, his hair was messy, and his hair was scattered casually on his shoulders.

He didn't look back, leaving Xu Changan with the back of an old monk who was settled.

"Xu Gongzi's intention, the old man has long known, although it is Xu Shaoxia's duty to eliminate the demon guard, but today the old man has the courage to ask Xu Shaoxia's subordinates to be merciful. ”

Although Xu Changan didn't know who this old man was, he knew that it was the Demon Killer Guardian Dao and blocked it, so he must not be a good person, Xu Changan snorted coldly in response.

"Xu Shaoxia don't be impatient, the reasons for each are to be old and decayed, how about you make a final conclusion?"

Xu Changan was not a fool, and snorted coldly: "When you finish slowly, I'm afraid that those two people have already run away, right?"

"Xu Shaoxia is thoughtful and thoughtful, my unsuccessful grandson is like a comparison of cloud and mud compared to you. The old man sighed, and then said: "Young man, please rest assured, I came here today, and I must have made preparations, and you can see who was in the room yesterday." ”

Xu Changan glanced at the gloomy room, and could hear the wind constantly beating against the window.

There was the sound of stones rolling down from the ground, and Xu Changan saw the two flints behind the old man.

"Although Xu Gongzi is relieved, the old man does not have any malicious intent. ”

Xu Changan stepped forward, picked up the flint, and then cautiously walked to the left.

The restrictions imposed on cultivators by the night are not as great as those of ordinary people.

He saw the candlestick and lit the candle.

There were two people sleeping in the corner of the house, with pale faces, purple robes, and a hunchbacked old man, they were lying quietly in the corner, if Xu Changan could not observe their slightly undulating chests, he would really think that these were two corpses.

Xu Changan walked out.

"Xu Shaoxia is willing to listen to the old man tell two little stories?"

Xu Changan arched his hand slightly: "Please speak." ”

......

Decades ago, there was a village in Ling'an Province, and there were two families in the village who had a good relationship.

One family is surnamed Wang, and the other family is surnamed Zhao.

Zhao and Wang are commensurate with each other as brothers, living in harmony, and the two families are as harmonious as a family. Not only that, but the two women were also pregnant with children only three months apart.

Zhao and Wang are married as brothers, and at the same time, they are married, and if the children of the two families are a boy and a woman, they will become husband and wife, if they are both daughters, they will be sisters, and if they are both men, they will become brothers.

But the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and a mudslide caused by a heavy rain almost wiped out the village, and Zhao and Wang were separated from each other.

At that time, the Holy Dynasty used troops against the Northern Barbarians, because the rumored white-clothed soldier Holy defected to the Northern Barbarians, so the Holy Dynasty attacked three times, and they were all defeated and returned, with heavy casualties.

In order to replenish the barracks, conscription was made on the spot. The person surnamed Zhao, who was separated from his wife and children, was exiled everywhere, so he simply entered the barracks and became a soldier.

He was originally a hunter, and he made many achievements in various small reconnaissance battles, and he was promoted to centurion, in charge of a reconnaissance team of dozens of people.

He still remembers the last mission.

They want to find out the location of the grain and grass on the other side, it is winter, even if the Beiban is full of nomads, but without grain and grass, they can't withstand this winter, and the holy dynasty is dragging down.

He and dozens of his subordinates dressed up in disguise and inquired about the grain and grass of the Beiban in different ways. He returned to his profession and pretended to be a hunter.

The hard work paid off, and he found a secret camp in a small valley, which was heavily guarded by a number of brutes.

He couldn't get even half a step closer by all means, and even if he crossed the line slightly, arrows would shoot at him for no reason.

Eventually, he bit it, bought a few fierce dogs, and fought with them, and when he was scarred, he happened to roll down the mountain.

When he woke up and looked around, he opened his eyes and saw the gray-green tent.

He was very proud in his heart, and after he went back this time, he would definitely be able to become an official and become a knight.

A general in a white robe walked in, with a handsome face and a smiling face, and for some unknown reason, he suddenly let down all his guard when he saw himself.

"Newcomer to the reconnaissance battalion?" the man asked with a smile.

He was horrified in his heart, he didn't expect to be seen through at a glance, he turned his head, not wanting to look at those eyes.

The man was not angry, smiled lightly and said: "It's winter now, and it's in the Northern Barbarians, every winter, the Northern Barbarians starve to death a lot, if there is really prey in this barren land, will the Northern Barbarians not know?"

He knew that he couldn't pretend anymore, so he sat up with a "Teng".

"If you know, why did you save me?"

The white-clothed general smiled and handed over a cup of hot mare's milk.

"Beiban doesn't have tea, and his wine is quite strong, so let's drink mare's milk, it's very supplemental. ”

He took a sip of mare's milk, and his body warmed up a lot.

"A lot of people have died in this war, and my arrangements are almost over, and it's time for it to end. ”

Saying that, the white-robed general took out a piece of jade pendant and ordered him in an unquestionable tone: "You take this jade pendant, there will be a person who will come to you with the same jade pendant, you ask him if he is the third teacher of the school, if so, you will follow his orders, if you do so, I can ensure that you become a tyrant in Ling'an Mansion." ”

He didn't know how to ask for him at that time, obviously he was not his soldier, he seemed to have a kind of magic that made everyone willingly obey his command.

The white-clothed general did not ask more of him, nor did he threaten him with poison or anything like that, as if he had become the person he trusted the most.

When he walked to the way back to Tongzhou, he heard a news, a golden handprint fell from the sky, smashed into the barracks, suffered heavy casualties, almost the entire army was wiped out, and at the last moment, seven immortals came from the sky to help the Holy Dynasty save the day.

But none of this had anything to do with him, he took the silver ticket given by the white-clothed general, returned to Ling'an Mansion, opened a small shop, and inquired about the news of his wife and children on the one hand, and waited for the arrival of that person on the other.

Slowly, he gradually got used to living alone, accustomed to ordinary days, he almost felt that the gentleman surnamed Shi in the general's mouth had forgotten the general's entrustment, he accepted a righteous son, and his life was simple and plain.

All this was broken after three years, and what should have come will always come.

The gentleman surnamed Shi was really a teacher, and he knocked on his door with a three-year-old child and took out a jade pendant.

Mr. Shi, surnamed Shi, took the jade pendant and left only a letter and a sentence.

"Fifteen years later, the blood wolf appeared and opened the grave. Be sure to ensure that the mound is opened smoothly. ”

Although he did not understand the meaning of this sentence, he promised others something, and he was determined to do it. He has been a little person all his life, and the moment he decides to keep his promise, he suddenly feels taller.

And the two messages in the letter strengthened his determination.

The first message, with an address written on it, also has a token of love between him and his wife back then, a red string.

The second piece of information, also an address.

The first address allowed him to find his wife and children, and the second address allowed him to have an additional Zhao family in Ling'an Mansion.

The old man's voice instantly deepened.

"This is the story of the Zhao family, and it is also my story. ”

Xu Changan was a little excited in his heart, he didn't expect to get the news of Uncle Shi not long after he came to Ling'an Mansion, although it was news more than ten years ago, it seems that he has to go to the grave.

However, his face did not show the slightest hint, he rubbed his chin thoughtfully, and asked casually, "Have you seen that Mr. Shi since?"

The old man of the Zhao family shook his head.

"I haven't seen the gentleman since. ”

Xu Changan nodded, his face expressionless.

The two were silent, and the head of the Zhao family suddenly asked, "Does Gongzi Xu have any questions to ask?" or do you have any doubts?"

Although the head of the Zhao family had his back to him, Xu Changan still shook his head, and then said: "I admire your promise, but what does this have to do with Wang Xiaoming?"

The old man didn't react, but continued: "Xu Shaoxia, listen to the next story." ”

There was a child, unborn, whose family had changed dramatically, who had never seen his father, and whose mother had also died when he gave birth in the wild.

If God doesn't favor him, his young life will be dissipated, and he will not be able to resist either the beast or the weather.

But when a story is called a story, something unimaginable will always happen.

He was raised by a she-wolf as his own child.

A few months later, an old hunter went up the mountain to hunt, and somehow touched the wolf's den and saw a baby. He nervously picked up the baby and looked around, and when he saw that there was no problem around, he picked up the baby and ran.

Orion's surname is Wang, and the child's name is Xiao Ming.

The old Orion was old, and he went in a few years.

Xiao Ming buried the old hunter, and then went home to sort out the relics. But this sorting made him find a rosewood box, which was more beautiful than everything Xiao Ming had seen so far.

He opened the box with excitement, only to see a worn-out book and a jade pendant.

Through that book, he learned a lot.

He knew that there were cultivators in the world, he got a book of blood wolf secret methods, and he also knew that the exercises combined with the jade pendant could open a secret realm.

So he began to practice hard and unscrupulously.

Speaking of this, the old man's voice stopped abruptly, this story is very short, it is simply about the growth of a child.

Xu Changan glanced at the corner of the wall, where Wang Xiaoming was lying.

"I don't believe that a man who keeps his promise can ignore the lives of others and watch ordinary people die under his butcher's knife. ”

The old man's back trembled.

"Those people are not ......"

Xu Changan immediately interrupted him: "You don't kill Boren, but Boren died because of your indulgence!"

"All this, as the head of the Zhao family, the Zhao family is so powerful, why don't you stop it in advance!"

The old man's straight waist fell suddenly.

"I admit that I have selfish intentions, but I am not only a head of family, but also a father, and I also want to fight for a future for my children. ”

His voice was dry.

"I got the kid back, but he didn't recognize me, I just wanted to help him as much as I could. ”

Xu Changan was a little puzzled: "Then what does this have to do with the general mound?"

"After many inquiries, I learned that there may be a practitioner's method in the mound. I know that Xu Shaoxia belongs to the Confucius Temple and is a person with great ability, so I dare to ask Xu Gongzi to take my son Zhou Yan into the general tomb. I know there are things I shouldn't touch, but you can't help but know it's there. As for life and death, it depends on him. ”

Xu Changan sighed, this is his father, who has paved a broad road, and only hopes that his child can step on it.

"Why me?"

"I looked for Mr. Chai, but he ignored me. I know that the people in Confucius Temple are all legendary cultivators, and Chai Gongzi doesn't even look at me, so I can only fight and beg Xu Shaoxia. ”

Xu Changan let out a long sigh and did not speak.

When the old man heard this sigh, his heart cooled. "I know that I have committed a lot of sins, a thought difference, resulting in the death of countless people, I have nothing, I can only die to atone for the crime, when the tomb is opened, Wang Xiaoming is life or death is determined by the young man. ”

The old man's head tilted, and his whole body softened.

Xu Changan glanced at the old man in the monk's robe, and then at Wang Xiaoming, speechless for a while.

......

"Are you going?" a voice came.

Xu Changan didn't need to look back, he knew that it was Chai Xintong who had come here a long time ago.

"Maybe that shozuka is important to me, so I want to check it out. ”

Chai Xintong scratched his head and said, "Then I have to go too." ”

"Why?"

"The master sent a message asking me to cooperate with you in everything, even if it is to open the Ling'an Mansion. I really doubt that you are the illegitimate son of the Taishi?"

Chai Xintong hugged the back of his head with both hands and said casually.
