Chapter 286: Jiangzhou Turmoil (3)
"If you dare to ignore the words of the old man, see that I don't kill you!"
"Woo woo woo ......"
The old woman was angry, and just wanted to kill the two of Chang Wuregret, but the "child" hiding behind her suddenly burst into tears, as if she was frightened by the scene just now.
"Mother-in-law doesn't kill people, don't kill people...... Bao'er is afraid...... Bao'er is afraid of ......"
Hearing this, Liu Xunyi and the others were all shocked, and their eyes were full of astonishment.
The old woman is over seventy years old, and the "child" is only three or five years old, and it is quite far-fetched to say that the two are 'grandchildren'.
At the same time, after hearing the cry of the "child", the angry old woman's face changed suddenly, and the killing intent instantly turned into love, and she quickly leaned over and squatted beside the child, took him tightly into her arms, and continued to whisper to comfort: "Bao'er is good! Bao'er is good! My mother doesn't kill people, my mother is just reasoning with them...... Good boy!"
"Bao'er doesn't want her mother to kill people, and she doesn't want people to kill her mother......"
The child sobbed incessantly, like a frightened bird, snuggled up to the old woman's arms, and repeated these two words in his mouth.
The old woman hugged the child tightly, and her eyes that were as vicious as a wolf just now were full of pity, and a trace of tears faintly appeared in the corners of her eyes.
In this situation, Pan Yuyin couldn't help but feel compassion. She hesitated for a moment, and then ignored Liu Xunyi's obstruction, insisted on stepping forward and walked towards the old woman and the child.
"What are you doing?"
Without waiting for Pan Yuyin to get closer, the old woman's face suddenly sank, and she glared at her angrily, a pair of sharp eyes were like two sharp swords, shooting directly at the bottom of Pan Yuyin's heart, making her body tremble in fright, and her footsteps followed.
"Senior, I...... I just want to appease Bao'er for you......"
Under the shrouded momentum of the old woman's cold as ice, Pan Yuyin was a little at a loss, and hurriedly explained: "I have candy and want to give it to Bao'er." With that, she hurriedly opened her right hand to the old woman, and in her palm was a crystal clear piece of rice candy.
"Get your candy back, Bao'er doesn't need outsiders to coax you!"
In the face of Pan Yuyin's kindness, the old woman did not appreciate it and refused coldly, which made Pan Yuyin embarrassed and in a dilemma for a while.
"You old woman really doesn't know how to count etiquette, people are kind, but you ......"
"Shut up!"
Tang Cong wanted to complain for Pan Yuyin, but he was suddenly stopped by Liu Xunyi.
After hesitating for a moment, Liu Xunyi stepped forward slowly, bowed to the old woman, and said, "I don't know the etiquette, if there is any offense, I hope that the seniors will forgive the sins!"
The old woman's face sank like water, looked Liu Xunyi up and down, and said coldly: "Young people don't know the height of the sky, and judging people by their appearance is really hateful. ”
"The seniors taught us. Liu Xunyi apologized, "The predecessor's move just now, 'sweeping the rod in all directions, breaking copper and breaking gold', really opened the eyes of my younger generation, admire!
"The small skills of carving insects are not enough to worry about. The old woman snorted lightly, turned to the edge, and asked meaningfully, "What is your relationship with the Valley of Despair?"
"This ......"
was questioned by the old woman in person, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but be speechless for a while. After all, this is not the territory of the Xianwang Mansion, and he is a guest, so how can he answer rashly against the will of the master?
"There's no need to prevaricate. The old woman said in a deep voice, "The old man has already found out that the Qian brothers are doing business on the surface, but secretly they are the only people on this Xunyang dock who can freely enter and exit the Valley of Despair. Look at the steps and postures of a few of you, and the way you dress, you are all from the rivers and lakes. Although you lie about 'crossing the river', how can you hide a lie from me?"
was pierced by the old woman's words, Liu Xunyi was even more sure in his heart, this person's origin must not be simple.
Looking at Liu Xunyi and the others with complicated expressions and not saying a word, the corners of the old woman's mouth couldn't help but raise a smug smile.
"What do you have to do with the Heartless Valley Lord, and what do you have to do with Granny Peach Blossom?" the old woman asked.
"Shhh
As soon as these words came out, several people were secretly surprised.
"Dare to ask the seniors and the teacher......" Pan Yuyin blurted out subconsciously, almost losing her words, so she hurriedly changed her words, "I don't know what the relationship between the seniors and the peach blossom mother-in-law is?"
"Haha......"
Hearing this, the old woman suddenly laughed out loud and said, "I have known the jacaranda for a long time, and I am older than you. Girl, what do you think I have to do with Granny Peach Blossom?"
"Could it be...... Are you a friend of Granny Peach Blossom?" Pan Yuyin was stunned.
"Nope. The old woman sneered, "I am the creditor of the jacaranda!"
"Creditor?" the old woman said, and everyone was stunned.
Chang Wuregret hesitated: "So the real purpose of you want to go to the Valley of Despair ......"
"Debt collection!" the old woman answered bluntly, "The jacaranda has disappeared in the rivers and lakes for more than 20 years, and in the past 20 years, our couple has taken Bao'er to the south and north, looking for the ends of the earth, just to find her." It's a pity that we have gone through a lot of hardships, but the jacaranda has no news like evaporation from the world. Until recently, there was news of jacaranda in the rivers and lakes, and I knew that she would definitely return to the valley of love, so I rushed here day and night, vowing to meet her. ”
Hearing this, Liu Xunyi and the others couldn't help but look at each other, looking very strange.
Tang Cong said to himself with embarrassment: "I thought that Granny Peach Blossom had no relatives and no reason in this world, but unexpectedly...... She even has a creditor?"
As for this, Tang Cong suddenly looked serious, and asked thoughtfully: "You have been looking for her for more than 20 years, but you still refuse to give up, presumably ...... Granny Peach must owe you a lot of money, right?"
Pan Yuyin hurriedly echoed: "I don't know how much Granny Peach Blossom owes her senior......s?
"Ahem!"
Liu Xunyi hurriedly coughed lightly twice and reminded Pan Yuyin to be cautious.
"Girl, who are you, why do you pay off the debts of the jacaranda?" the old woman heard the clue in Pan Yuyin's words, and immediately asked, "Could it be that you are her granddaughter?"
"I ......" Pan Yuyin knew that she had made a mistake, but she couldn't prevaricate at the moment, so she could only admit stubbornly, "I don't dare to deceive my predecessors, in fact, the little woman is...... Peach Blossom's apprentice. ”
"Apprentice, when did the jacaranda accept the apprentice?" the old woman asked suspiciously, "How long have you learned from her?
Pan Yuyin's cheeks were slightly red, and he said in a low voice: "I'm ashamed to say that I have been apprenticed for less than half a year, and what I have learned is even more ......."
"Then you're not qualified to pay her debt yet. The old woman snorted coldly, "Where is your master, take me to her!"
"Although I am not skilled in medicine and cannot make money from treatment, I may have some surplus in my family's business......"
"No amount of money can cover the debt that the jacaranda owes me. The old woman said angrily, "Don't waste your tongue anymore, take me to the Valley of Despair to see her, otherwise I will kill you all!"
"It's not a money debt?" Tang Cong subconsciously exclaimed, "Could it be a love debt?"
At this moment, Tang Cong showed a look of sudden realization, and blurted out: "You shouldn't be Ye Tong's old lover, right? In this way, Granny Peach Blossom is your rival, so what you call the debt ...... Is it a love debt?"
"Full of nonsense, see if I don't cut your tongue!"
was wantonly choreographed by Tang Cong's mouth, the old woman's eyes suddenly cold, and then her figure shook, and she disappeared in place in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, the snake-headed crutch had reached in front of Tang Cong, and the speed was staggering.
Tang Cong, who was caught off guard, subconsciously let out an exclamation, and then moved under his feet, and retreated sharply with his supreme light skills, which was able to avoid the old woman's killing move.
"You can't run!"
How could the old woman give up? As soon as her body turned, the snake-headed cane was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, directly taking Tang Cong's heavenly spirit cover.
"Senior, please intercede with your subordinates!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Xunyi quickly drew his sword, and at the same time flew in front of Tang Cong to block the old woman's pursuit for him.
"Bang!"
With a deafening bang, the snake's head crutch slammed into the blade. Liu Xunyi suddenly felt a pain in the tiger's mouth, and then his wrist went numb, and the sword almost flew out of his hand.
Liu Xunyi's mind was straight, and he quickly turned the internal force and poured it into his right arm, which resisted the strength of the snake's head crutches.
The crutches and swords were separated with a touch, and Liu Xunyi and the old woman flew back. At the same time, the two of them looked at each other with a look of surprise in their eyes.
Liu Xunyi was surprised by the high level of the old woman's martial arts, which was far more powerful than he imagined.
The old woman also didn't expect that Liu Xunyi was so young that she could go toe-to-toe with herself and not fall behind.
"Young man, good kung fu!"
"Thank you for the mercy of your seniors!"
For Liu Xunyi's humility, the old woman didn't care, just stared at Liu Xunyi with strange eyes, and hesitated: "I heard that there is a young master with excellent swordsmanship in the Valley of Ruthlessness, and the people in the rivers and lakes call it 'Ruthless Swordsman' Tang Afu. Could it be you?"
Hearing this, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but be stunned, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The seniors misunderstood. Zai Xia is not a 'ruthless swordsman', let alone a disciple of Ruthless Valley. ”
Tang Cong interjected proudly: "He is the master of the Xianwang Mansion, Liu Xunyi!"
"Oh!" the old woman nodded thoughtfully, "Who is my Dao's martial arts so good?" It turned out to be Luo Tianjin's subordinates. ”
"Hey, the name of the King of the North Sage is not what you can ......?"
"Don't be rude!"
Liu Xunyi's face sank, and he immediately choked Tang Cong's back words. After pondering for a moment, he surrendered his hand and asked: "The younger generation is brave and dares to ask the seniors for their names?"
"Old body, Mei Zichuan. ”
Mei Zichuan...... The predecessor is Mei Zichuan, but Mei Zichuan of Changbai Mountain?" Before the old woman's words fell, Liu Xunyi was already full of horror and let out an exclamation.
"Exactly!"
Hearing this, Liu Xunyi, Tang Cong, and Chang Wuregret were shocked at the same time, and they all showed surprise on their faces.
Seeing this, Pan Yuyin couldn't help but be curious, and wondered: "Brother Liu, the name 'Mei Zichuan'...... What's wrong?"
"Miss Pan doesn't know, there is a saying in the rivers and lakes, 'In the depths of Changbai, the tiger's lair and dragon pool, the double residence of the immortals, and the purple river of Yangming.'" Among them, the hostess of 'Tiger's Den Dragon Pond' is named ...... Mei Zichuan. ”
