Chapter 322: Reminiscing about the Past
Uncle Shi? What Uncle Shi? Liu Yuan's originally contemplative face froze, and what he was thinking in his heart was subconsciously said.
"Naturally, it's my uncle. Zheng Dongxi shook his head with a wry smile and confirmed again.
Hearing this, Liu Yuan turned to look at Miss Pei and muttered in a low voice: "I can't think of it......"
"Hmph, I didn't expect it, this girl said it a long time ago, he can't be my senior brother. Miss Pei said proudly.
"Yes, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect you to be so old, and your appearance is so clean, like a girl in her twenties. Liu Yuan sighed.
Practicing martial arts and practicing internal strength can delay aging, which Liu Yuan naturally knows, but the most important thing is that he also knows that Miss Pei's internal strength is not profound.
Such a person, so young and beautiful, it is really well maintained.
But then again, Pei is an uncle-level figure, and with this strength at such an age, it is really not very talented, or it is the past years of martial arts training to dogs, Liu Yuan secretly pondered in his heart.
"Phew, surnamed Liu, who do you say is a senior and who is old. Originally, a slightly cold face, under Liu Yuan's words, he instantly broke his work, pointed at Liu Yuan and said angrily.
"Well, senior, don't be angry, I really didn't mean that. Liu Yuan hurriedly raised his hand and said.
However, the more Liu Yuan was like this, the more angry Miss Pei became, and she said that she was going to be the same as Liu Yuan when she rolled up her sleeves.
Zheng Dongxi reacted quickly, knowing that there must be a misunderstanding, so he hurriedly stepped forward half a step to block the two, looked at Liu Yuan with a face and said, "Shopkeeper, you have misunderstood." ”
"Uncle Shi, although she is a senior uncle, her age is not much different from ours, but there are some twists and turns in our sect, which makes Uncle Shi have a higher seniority, and it is troublesome to explain, so it is inconvenient to say to you for the time being. ”
After Zheng Dongxi finished speaking, Liu Yuan understood, and Miss Pei still glared at him with a pair of eyes.
The latter smiled awkwardly, clenched his fists and said, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, don't talk about this, let's go in first." Saying that, Liu Yuan took the lead in the backyard.
After entering the house, he saw a wisp of white mist and white smoke floating out of the room in the east, and Liu Yuan immediately knew that Dan Tang and several people were in the house.
And depending on the situation outside the house, I don't think I can see a result today.
After the two came in, Zheng Dongxi closed the door of the backyard with his backhand, and led the two to walk in the direction where Xu Ming was.
Still far away, I saw the insect running out with a wooden toy in his hand, hitting Liu Yuan's calf, looking up at Liu Yuan and saying, "Brother Yuan, you are finally back." ”
"Worm worm, don't you miss your brother? Liu Yuan squatted down, rubbed the worm's head and said with a smile.
"Yes, I miss my brother, I miss my brother's cooking. ”
These days, Dan Tang is healing Su Jumang's injuries, so it is naturally impossible to cook, and it is impossible to count on Zheng Dongxi.
So a few people have something to eat, but the worms are uncomfortable.
"You glutton. When Liu Yuan heard this, he poked the worm's forehead with a funny face, and walked to the back room.
After entering the house, I found that Xu Ming and his wife were making moves at the table, and the two looked at each other with sharp eyes.
The two of them are separated by a table, and the two sides of your punch and my palm do not use internal force, but just compete in moves, every day.
At first, I scared the insects, thinking that my father and my mother were fighting.
After Liu Yuan came in, the two gestured twice before stopping.
The two sides sat down at the round table, a pot of tea brewed on the table, and after talking to each other about the situation.
Liu Yuancai opened his mouth and asked, "According to what you see, Brother Xu, can the young owner survive this difficulty?"
are all sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, even after knowing the identities of Xu Ming and his wife, Liu Yuan did not shout as his predecessors.
It's still Brother Xu or Lao Xu, and the latter naturally doesn't care or stick to one title.
"Yes. Xu Ming nodded, at first he didn't know the origin of the two Danju sisters, but after he clearly understood, he thought about Su Jumang's ability, he thought so surely.
"That's good. Since Xu Ming was so determined, Liu Yuan was also a little relieved in his heart, and he also had confidence in Dongzhu and Su Jumang.
After saying the words about this matter, Liu Yuan suddenly hesitated, looked left and right, and finally stopped on Ye Ningxiao's face and said, "I have something I want to say to Brother Xu alone, and I also ask my sister-in-law to give Brother Xu to me for a while." He laughed.
"Oh?" Ye Ningxiao looked at Liu Yuan when he heard this, and then nodded and said, "Okay, you two talk." ”
Saying that, several people walked out, and when there were only the two of them in the room, Xu Ming filled his cup with a cup and looked at Liu Yuan and smiled: "What, what do you want to ask, and it's so mysterious?"
"Ah, I just want to ask Brother Xu, what do you think of the Yuan Imperial Pavilion?" Liu Yuan didn't directly ask what he wanted to ask, but said around the bush.
"Yuan Imperial Pavilion?" Xu Ming picked up the hand of the cup for a moment and then took it back, and said indifferently: "I am a scattered person, there is no door and no faction, what can I think of the Yuan Imperial Pavilion." ”
"As for the bloody rain on the rivers and lakes back then, it was just that each was its own master, and I had no grudge against them. Xu Ming pondered and looked at Liu Yuan calmly.
What he said is indeed the truth, he is not like Su Jumang and others, who have a blood feud with the Yuan Imperial Pavilion and the imperial court.
"Since that's the case, Brother Xu, have you ever heard that the Yuan Imperial Pavilion and the people of the rivers and lakes cooperated to investigate what happened back then?" Liu Yuan asked with curiosity in his eyes, as if he wanted to hear some secrets of the rivers and lakes.
"Oh?" Hearing Liu Yuan mention this, Xu Ming's eyes suddenly changed.
"When the emperor had not yet ascended the throne, and the Yuan Imperial Pavilion had not launched a large-scale attack on the rivers and lakes, the two sides were still in peacetime, and the cooperation between the Yuan Imperial Pavilion and the people in the rivers and lakes was not nothing, I don't know which one Brother Liu said?"
"The most masters. Liu Yuan said directly without thinking about it.
"That is naturally the encirclement and suppression of the evil master back then, there are so many masters dispatched, no one in the rivers and lakes knows about it, and I am afraid that it is still the gossip content of the common people after tea and dinner......" Speaking of this, Liu Yuan knew that it was definitely not the case.
He also knew about it, understood it very clearly, and besides, it wasn't right at that time, so he immediately added: "The most mysterious one." ”
"Mysterious?"
"Yes, it's mysterious, there are many masters, and few people know that. Liu Yuan nodded.
looked at Xu Ming fixedly, but the latter pursed his lips for a long time and didn't speak, just looked at Liu Yuan, and his eyes gradually changed.
Shaking his head and sighing, he said, "You want to ask about the Ebony Tablet." ”
"Hey, hey. Liu Yuan laughed twice and touched his nose.
He really wanted to ask this, but he knew that it would definitely be useless to ask directly, so he went around in a big circle.
After taking Xia Lingling's matter, he would have to leave here sooner or later to go to the Great Northwest, and before that, he naturally wanted to know about his father.
"For this matter, you Brother Xu and I really have nothing to say, and I hope that Brother Liu will accept your curiosity. ”
Xu Ming shook his head, his attitude was very resolute, and if Liu Yuan insisted on asking again, he would turn his face.
is stuck in this position again, Liu Yuan will naturally not give up today, and must ask one, two, three.
Frowning at the moment, Liu Yuan paused for three moments and said, "What if I say that I'm not curious, but that this matter is really related to me?"
"No way. Xu Ming didn't think about it, and blurted out.
"I am the descendant of one of the many participants in this matter. Liu Yuan followed and said.
After saying this, both of them were silent, the room fell silent, and Liu Yuan looked at Xu Ming calmly and sincerely, without any flickering in his eyes.
"Really?" asked Xu Ming very solemnly, his expression more serious than ever.
"Really. I can be the name of the first inn in the world, and I am guaranteed by Liu Yuan's personality. Liu Yuan nodded.
"That's really the old man. Xu Ming sighed, his eyes were a little ethereal, obviously in a fugue.
There is a door, Liu Yuan thought so in his heart, and waited quietly for Xu Ming to come back to his senses.
About another pillar of incense passed, and the tea in the cup was cold, and Xu Ming's eyes fell on Liu Yuan's face again.
Tsai carefully looked at the latter's face, and then remembered what Liu Yuan had asked at the beginning, and he was already seven or eight points sure in his heart who the other party's father was.
However, it is better to be cautious, Xu Ming asked again, "Why are you so convinced?"
"Because of an ebony tablet. Liu Yuan replied.
"I see. Xu Ming nodded, the ebony stele was peculiar, and it was impossible for anyone in the world to make the same for no reason.
Liu Yuan's face was overjoyed, thinking that he could finally learn the news of his father, but Xu Ming's words raised his heart again.
"Still, I can't tell you about it. Xu Ming shook his head.
"Why?!" Liu Yuan said, his eyes contained a deep incomprehension, and he almost couldn't control himself and got up from the stool.
"Because of the original agreement, you can't tell anyone else, even if it's a descendant. Xu Ming was extremely stubborn at this time, shook his head and said resolutely.
"But that is my father, and as a son of man, I can't know a little, and his whereabouts are still unknown. Liu Yuan's emotions became extremely excited.
Who knew that after Liu Yuan said this, Xu Ming also looked very surprised, and looked at Liu Yuan with wide eyes: "Whereabouts unknown, you don't even know where your father is?"
"Yes. Seeing that there was something else hidden in this matter, Liu Yuan nodded and forced himself to calm down.
I only heard Xu Ming muttering in a low voice: "It shouldn't be, after this incident, ......" Xu Ming immediately stopped, looked up at Liu Yuandao, and said: "Your father is also surnamed Liu." ”
This sounds a bit nonsense, doesn't the son have the same surname as the father? But there is still a situation of incognito if he is not in order, for fear of causing some confusion, Xu Ming asked.
"Yes, my father's surname is Liu, and he is from the imperial court. Liu Yuan said in more detail.
"That's right, I Xu Ming can't break my oath and can't tell you about the ebony tablet, but I can say that I know about your father. ”
After Xu Ming finished speaking, Liu Yuan suddenly became happy, who cares about the ebony tablet of Red Maple Valley, he mainly wants to investigate his father's whereabouts, and now it is just right.
"After this incident, all of us parted ways, but at least your father was alive and well when he was separated from us. Xu Ming recalled the events of that year in his mind.
"Then Brother Xu, does he know where his father is going?" Liu Yuan also noticed the complexity of this matter, and his expression was extremely solemn.
"He said he was going to the northwest, but even you didn't know his whereabouts, and he thought he was gone forever. ”
When he said this, Xu Ming's mood was also very low, and his relationship with Liu Yuan's father was also very good.
"Northwest, Northwest again. Liu Yuan muttered to himself and frowned.
"Yes, it's the northwest, if there was no thing about the saint stepping on the world at the beginning, as long as you can find the Bodhisattva in the northwest, there is a great chance that you will get the news of your father. ”
This is not nonsense, in Xu Ming's status in the rivers and lakes, he knows more secrets than Liu Yuan.
Although the Bodhisattva is mysterious enough, those disciples in the door always have to eat, drink, and dress, and they are indispensable to deal with the outside world.
In the long run, the Bodhisattva is deeply rooted in the northwest.
Gradually, the Bodhisattva was divided into two parts, and the outer gate was called the worldly Bodhisattva locally, and was in charge of some worldly preaching and accepting disciples.
The inner door is barbaric, and the number of people is very small and very mysterious. At the beginning, the lantern festival was on the big ship, and the person who fought with Lao Miao was one of the 'barbarians' in the inner door.
"It's not too late to find them. Liu Yuan said with a move in his eyes.
Whether it is the Huifeng Sect or the Jianque Villa, even if it is destroyed, there are still remnants of sins in the world.
He didn't believe that it was so mysterious, whether it was martial arts, mental methods, or power, the Bodhisattva Barbarians who could compete with the Daoist Demon Sect would really disappear cleanly.
At least, there must be a few important people alive, and these people are the clues for Liu Yuan to investigate his father's whereabouts.
"Yes, you can indeed find them now, let's just think that your father disappeared when he went to the Great Northwest, then with your father's ability, the Bodhisattva Barbarian will not be impressed. ”
Then Xu Ming sighed again: "It's just that after the Holy Master stepped on the rivers and lakes, the Bodhisattva must have become more mysterious, and it is not so easy to find it when hidden." ”
If before reaching a deal with Xia Lingling, Liu Yuan also felt that this was a very difficult thing, but now, he at least had a little bit of a spectrum in his heart.
"Makes sense. Liu Yuan still said so.
"But secondly, there is another place where there should be news of your father. Xu Ming followed.
"Where?"
"Yuan Imperial Pavilion. After all, when the Bodhisattva was exterminated, the Yuan Imperial Pavilion was the main force, and with your father's identity, they should know something. ”
Hearing this, Liu Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Getting my father's words out of their mouths, this difficulty is not much less than asking the Bodhisattva." ”
Thinking of this, Liu Yuan was suddenly a little confused, what is the relationship between his father and Yuan Yuge?
If there is a grudge, then why can he smoothly take the severance pay and leave the Yuan Imperial Pavilion?
