Chapter 49: Repentance
"Senior, no matter how high or low the cultivation is, as long as it comes to our Lingyuan Guild to issue a task, we will treat it as a distinguished guest, and we will never allow any mistakes in the task. Therefore, after the mercenaries hand in the mission, we will send someone to verify the truth in person. ”
"The person I'm looking for, where is Qingyun City?"
"The person you're looking for...... Alas, to be honest, the people who almost made our Lingyuan Guild go to the truth were all hit the way. ”
Wu Di was slightly stunned, and puzzlement flashed in his eyes.
The man shook his head with a wry smile, and then said, "This person is very good at disguise, and I don't know which monk changed his face, and the portrait you gave is only three points similar." ”
"Changed your appearance?"
"Yes, I heard the disciple who came back say that the person you are looking for has been a gambling addict for the first half of his life, and he has ...... casinos. ”
"Don't talk about it, do you have a portrait of him?"
"Yes!" The man took out a piece of paper from his arms, handed it to Wu Di, and then said, "Look at the rest of the reward, is it ......." ”
Wu Di opened the square paper and took a look, stared at those eyes for a long time, touched the Qiankun bag with his right hand, and immediately flew out of the high-grade Xuan-level exercises and royal weapons, and was put into the Qiankun bag by the man.
Looking at Wu Di again, after putting the square paper into his arms, he turned around and walked back to the middle of the store, picked up the wood carvings of Wu Que and Wu Xun, and carefully placed them on the counter.
"Little ones, take care of your home here. ”
Raising his hand and gently touching the head of the wood carving, Wu Di turned around and walked towards the man.
The man didn't want to linger longer, but the moment he was about to walk out of the store, he turned his head to look at the wood carving on the counter, and his body suddenly slammed until Wu Di put the store on the board, and he came back to his senses.
"Senior, those two wood carvings ....... ”
"I met Xia Xuan of Xianyun Tower! Forget everything I just saw, so as not to cause disaster. ”
Wu Di glanced at the man indifferently, and it wasn't until he took out a long sword and threw it away that the man came back to his senses.
He understood that Wu Di's words were polite, and at the same time, they were also full of warnings.
The reason why he was polite was because Xia Xuan, the owner of Xianyun Tower, knew him. And the warning was that he didn't want to beat the wood carving ideas in the shop.
"What a terrible guy, although he is not very old, he can raise his cultivation to the realm of the Immortal King. ”
The man muttered, shook his head, and seemed to feel that people were better than people, and they could really anger people.
Not to mention that the other party's cultivation is extremely high, what is even more terrifying is that this person can also carve extraordinary wood carvings.
You know, just when the man just looked at the two wood carvings, he seemed to be faintly aware that he was attracted to another world, where the sky was full of stars and ancient trees, making him faintly unable to distinguish whether it was reality or illusion.
As an eight-star immortal master, he knew very well how terrifying this was.
If he mistakes the illusion for reality, then he will be trapped in the illusion for the rest of his life, and the body in reality will lose his soul and become the living dead.
"It's better not to provoke such a person. ”
The man muttered, glanced down at the Qiankun bag, and was glad that the task had been completed smoothly and that he could go back to the guild on an errand.
Wu Di Imperial Sword flew out of Tianyuan City, and the sword under his feet was obtained from the Qiankun bag of Qin An, the head of the Tiangang faction, it was Qin An's flying machine, as long as a small amount of spiritual energy was transported in, he could step on this sword and fly at a height of ten thousand zhang.
The flight of the imperial sword is much faster than Wu Di's phantom step, and the Qingyun City can be seen in the distance before noon, and when it reaches the sky, Wu Di lowered his head and looked around the north of the city, and the sword went down and instantly arrived under an old elm tree.
Wu Di still remembers that more than eight months ago, this old elm tree had already withered and lost its leaves, and then sent a wisp of spiritual energy before he left, and now it has come back to life, and the branches are full of life.
But he only glanced at the old elm tree, and then his eyes could not take away from the thin man under the tree, who was dressed in rags like a beggar.
The man was holding the wine jar, originally drinking the wine one by one, but at the moment when Wu Di fell, his right hand slammed down, turned his head sideways and glanced at Wu Di drunkenly.
Looking at each other, both of them suddenly stiffened.
Wu Di's mind went blank for a while, and the wine jar in the man's hand also fell to the ground, and it fell into several petals with a click, and the wine was scattered all over the ground.
"You ....... ”
The man's lips moved, and he shook his head and said no more.
Wu Di walked towards the man with his hands behind his back, stared at those eyes in front of him, and did not speak for a long time.
When he didn't find his father, Wu Di always wanted to ask him a question, but at this moment, he didn't know how to open his mouth.
"Heh, baby, you ....... You and I, nearly six ...... I haven't seen you in six years......, have you? You've grown so big. The man got up and straightened the torn clothes on his body, as if he wanted to make a good impression on Wu Di, but he never dared to look up at Wu Di.
"You, avoid me. Wu Di's eye sockets were swirling with mist, and his voice was a little choked: "In ...... The first time I returned to Qingyun City, you should have seen me. I'm looking for you all over the city, and you know everything, don't you?"
"I ....... ”
The man stopped talking, was silent for a while, and suddenly raised his fist and hit the old elm pole fiercely, and the back of his hand broke the skin and bled out, completely ignoring it.
"Dad is sorry for your mother, and even more sorry for you. I did see you eight months ago, and Daddy thought he was dazzled, but when you came here, I knew you were Di'er. ”
Wu Xinghe burst into tears, slapped himself three times, choked up, and said: "I'm not a human being, I sold you to the quarry for thirty copper plates." ”
Looking at his father, looking at the tears that slipped out of his eyes, Wu Di's heart ...... It's all dripping blood.
"That night, I knelt in front of your mother's shrine and confessed all night, and the next morning I went to the quarry, and I wanted to redeem you. But the foreman Sun Dahai is a scumbag, I returned thirty copper plates to him, and instead of returning you to me, he beat me severely. ”
Wu Xinghe cried bitterly, helped the old elm tree to sit on the ground, wiped his tears and spoke again: "I went to the government to find the prefect, but they all wore a pair of pants, and instead of helping me save you back, they beat me up again." ”
"What's up with your face?"
"Face?"
Wu Xinghe raised his hand and touched it, laughing at himself: "Do you think, do I still have a face?"
Wu Di frowned.
"I was disgusted with the old face, gambling, incompetent, cowardly, angry with my wife and sold my son. Three years ago, I met a monk in the city, and he was dressed like you. I knelt on the ground and begged him, but he gave me a pill, and my appearance changed by seven points. ”
Looking at the face that was both familiar and unfamiliar, Wu Di was silent for a long time, and finally let out a heavy sigh.
"I want to drink too, let's go. ”
Wu Xinghe looked stunned, and when he saw Wu Di turn around and walk away, he hurriedly wiped his tears and trotted all the way to follow.
