Pan Xincheng paused, turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw a man and a woman, the man was dressed in green clothes and looked delicate. The woman's red dress is plain, her eyes are smart, and her pretty face is full of innocent and lively colors.

But it was Yu Shuang's brother and sister.

Pan Xincheng glanced at the two of them, hesitated for a moment, a smile leaked from his face, and asked, "What did this little brother mean by what he just said?"

Yu Shuang only saw Pan Xincheng's appearance clearly at this moment, he was in his early twenties, with a pair of sword eyebrows, bright eyes, quite handsome appearance, and his posture was also elegant in the wind.

Yu Shuang looked at Pan Xincheng and was stunned for a while, and then said: "Back to Uncle Pan, my sister Yu Xueying and I were entrusted by our mother and came from Yancheng, and there is a letter and a token presented to Uncle Pan

Uncle".

As he spoke, he took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Pan Xincheng, and said, "Please take a look at Uncle Pan." ”

When Pan Xincheng heard the word "Yancheng", it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, his face changed in an instant, he shook his body and immediately stood firm, looked at Yu Shuang deeply, took the envelope and read it.

In fact, it is the suicide note left by Yu Shuang's mother Mo Rao to Yu Shuang, Pan Xincheng read it for a long time, the corners of his eyes twitched faintly, and his expression changed on his face, Yu Shuang seemed to be able to clearly feel that Pan Xincheng's heart was beating so fast that his hand holding the envelope was a little sifting chaff.

Yu Shuang and Yu Xueying glanced at each other silently, Yu Xueying's eyes were a little surprised, but Yu Shuang's eyes were full of fatigue and sourness.

Yu Xueying was about to ask in a low voice, but Yu Shuang took the first step to reach out and pull her to her side, opened her hand and hugged her in her arms, Yu Shuang sighed slightly, closed her eyes deeply, and two lines of tears involuntarily crossed her face.

Yu Xueying turned her head sideways and continued to look at Pan Xincheng, although she had a lot of doubts in her heart, she didn't speak for a while.

After a while, Pan Xincheng seemed to have experienced a fierce ideological struggle, so much so that when he finished reading the last word of the letter, he was panting and reading it.

Pan Xincheng froze, looked at Yu Shuang, and said, "What about the token?"

Yu Shuang let go of her sister when she heard this, and whispered to Xue Ying: "Ying'er, give the dagger to Uncle Pan." ”

Yu Xueying reached out and took out the crystal green dagger from her arms and handed it to Pan Xincheng. Pan Xincheng stretched out his hand and took the dagger tremblingly, and anyone could see that he was already in turmoil at the moment. He only glanced at Yu Xueying, and his eyes fell on the dagger, and he couldn't move away for a moment.

Yu Xueying saw Pan Xincheng's pale face, and was faintly worried in her heart, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Pan, are you okay?"

Pan Xincheng took the dagger, looked at the dagger quietly, and suddenly there were tears in his eyes, as if he staggered back involuntarily, almost unstable, at this time, a fiery red figure grabbed in front of the frost, held Pan Xincheng, and said with concern: "Brother Xincheng, what's wrong with you?

Yu Shuang looked at it, but it was the Nie City Lord who was wearing a fiery red brocade robe just now, and at this moment, he had a square face and thin eyebrows, full forehead corners, and eyes like bright stars.

He held Pan Xincheng in his arms, and after looking at Pan Xincheng for a while, he turned his head to look at Yu Shuang.

At the moment of eye contact with him, Yu Shuang was startled.

Yu Shuang felt that the light in the eyes of the Nie City Lord was changing, and the killing intent emerged, and his deep and deep eyes seemed to reflect the depths of Yu Shuang's heart, and Yu Shuang subconsciously lowered his head and avoided those murderous eyes.

The moment they looked at each other quietly, Yu Shuang felt that City Lord Nie's eyes were full of experience, and it seemed that with just one glance, he could easily see the depths of his heart.

At this time, Pan Xincheng straightened up under the support of the Nie City Lord, his eyes were empty, tears flashed, and he shouted in an astringent voice: "Cangxiao...... It's the master's, it's the master's. These words seemed to be squeezed out of his throat, and he fainted as soon as he said that.

It was pitch black and hazy.

He ran as hard as he could, until he was out of breath, but he still couldn't see a ray of light. Life is like living outside the chaos, it turns out that people come from the darkness and strive to find the light, but the light never shines outside the chaos and cannot shine into the darkness.

Finally, he couldn't run, and fell to his knees, panting, his mind blank.

Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the chaotic darkness, those gentle palms made his heart throb, he raised a smile on his face, raised his head and said happily: "Master!"

Pan Xincheng sat up suddenly, opened his eyes, and was greeted by a familiar thing, a familiar figure, a familiar bed, and a familiar light.

"Wake up, wake up, Uncle Nie, come here, Dad is awake. ”

In his ears, there was a familiar exclamation from his daughter Pan Xiaohan.

The next moment, the heavy figure of the Nie City Lord walked up to him from the window, looking at him with concern on his face, just like his daughter.

It turned out that he had a nightmare. He was sitting on the bed at the moment, but he felt that the qi and blood in his body were tumbling, and his body did not have any strength.

"Lie down quickly, your body is weak, and your strength must not be overdrawn. City Lord Nie slowly sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out his hand to check Pan Xincheng's pulse, and after hesitating for a moment, he slowly said to everyone in the room: "Don't get in the way, Brother Xincheng has just been exhausted in recent days, and his body is weak and cold, and he can recover after a few days of rest." ”

After hearing this, everyone slowly breathed a sigh of relief, Pan Xincheng looked up at everyone in the room, and there were "Fang Caijun" of Pan's Mansion, the military advisor "Hou Qingyu" in Yulin City, as well as the Nie City Lord and his personal guard "Long Tao", and his daughter Pan Xiaohan, who was lying on the head of the bed staring at her watery eyes.

Pan Xincheng calmed down, looked at City Lord Nie, and said in a low voice: "There is a lot of trouble with the City Lord Lao, there have been many trivial matters in the mansion for several days, which makes you smile." ”

How could there be a trace of a smile on the face of the Nie City Lord? He looked at Pan Xincheng and said softly: "What did Brother Xincheng say, how can you and I divide each other?" Seeing that Brother Xincheng has been in poor condition recently, he is also very sad in the future, the master has passed away, just like his parents have returned to heaven, but the deceased is gone, and Brother Xincheng should mourn it. ”

Pan Xincheng closed his eyes suddenly, a tired and bitter smile appeared on his face, and he opened his eyes for a while, and said to the city lord Nie: "Thank you for the city lord's care, by the way, where are those two children now?"

City Lord Nie hesitated for a moment, and immediately said, "I have arranged for them to rest in the inn, but the time is in a hurry, and I haven't investigated these two in detail yet." ”

Pan Xincheng's slightly shriveled lips moved slightly, and he looked at the Nie City Lord and said, "Don't bother the City Lord, can you invite the two of them over immediately, I have something to ask." ”

The city lord of Nie pondered for a while, as if his words had stopped again, his eyes rolled, and he spoke again: "Okay, I'll call the two of them here, so as not to disturb Brother Xincheng, remember to rest more." The city lord of Nie gave a word, then got up and walked out of the door.

Pan was sincerely grateful and was about to get up, but he couldn't exert any strength in his body, so he had to sit on the bed again and said respectfully: "Thank you, City Lord, Xiaohan, send Uncle Nie quickly." ”

Pan Xiaohan, who was lying in front of the bed, followed the Nie City Lord out of the door, and the rest of the people also walked out of the house with him.

The dappled afterglow of the sunset shone into the house, and the room showed a dim yellow tone, and Pan Xincheng had mixed feelings in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the rumors fifty years ago turned out to be true and false, and the master Yu Qiong passed away some time ago. What I saw with my own eyes was that less than a hundred miles away, the dark night sky, the stars were divided, there were nine dragons in the sky, and the dragon roared.

Fang today, apart from Master Yu Qiong, who can achieve this?

Who would have thought that the master would face the immortal and immortal ancient gods-the four great unicorns. Who's who?

But once he thought that the rumors were false, the master died less than a hundred miles away from him, and he hadn't been able to do anything for him for decades, which really made him feel heartbroken.

Fifty years ago, he was still a milky boy, and the "Daozun" Yu Qiong accepted him as a disciple, and he disappeared in the rivers and lakes after only preaching for less than three months. After several unsuccessful searches, he dived into the Tao and realized the Dao, and finally became a righteous chivalrous warrior in Yulin City to protect the territory and the people.

He seemed to feel that this was the only way to comfort the master who did not know if he was still alive.

After thinking about it, in addition to grief, there is only exhaustion.

He lay on the bed and let out a long sigh of relief, slowly closing his eyes.

"Dad, those two brought them here. Pan Xiaohan walked in quickly and said to Pan Xincheng who was lying on the bed.

Pan Xincheng heard a series of light footsteps, slowly opened his eyes, and two figures really walked in outside the door, both of them had the color of wind and dust on their faces, it was the two brothers and sisters of Yu Shuang.

They walked into the room, stood down, and looked at Pan Xincheng who was lying on the bed, with a worried look on their faces.

A smile leaked from the corner of Pan Xincheng's mouth, and he spoke first: "Don't worry, two little friends, I'm fine, please sit down, I have a few words I want to ask you, I hope you can tell the truth." ”

Yu Shuang's face was worried, and she slowly walked to the bed, and at this moment, there were only four people left in the room, Yu Shuang's brother and sister and Pan Xincheng's father and daughter.

Pan Xincheng looked at Yu Shuang carefully, and said with a slight smile: "Please sit down, Xiaohan, go make a pot of tea." ”

Pan Xiaohan nodded and walked out.

Yu Shuang slowly sat down from the side of the bed, looked at Pan Xincheng, and said solemnly: "Uncle Pan has something to ask, Yu Shuang knows everything." ”

The corners of Pan Xincheng's mouth moved, and he said in a low voice: "Your name is Yu Shuang, what's your father's name?"

Yu Shuang paused and said, "My father is from Yancheng, the head of the four families in Yancheng, and his name is Yu Jianghe. ”

"Yu Jianghe?" Pan Xincheng flashed a trace of doubt on his face, and continued to ask, "Where is your father now?"

Yu Shuang said: "My mother said in her letter that I am afraid that I am no longer alive now. ”

"What?" Yu Xueying stood aside, a pair of bright eyes flowing, looked at Yu Shuang, and said incredulously: "Brother, what did you say?"

Yu Shuang's face was bitter, he opened his mouth, and tears slipped down the corners of his eyes, but he couldn't speak.

Pan Xincheng pondered for a moment, turned his gaze to Yu Xueying, sighed slowly, and said to Xueying: "Little girl, what is your name?

The surprised expression on Yu Xueying's face had not yet faded, and when she heard this, she glanced at Pan Xincheng and said casually: "My name is Yu Xueying, and my mother's name is Liu Mo." ”

Pan Xincheng read the name "Liu Mo" in his mouth, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in his eyes, he pondered for a moment, looked up at Yu Shuang, and said quietly: "Your father is not called Yu Jianghe, he is the 'Dao Zun' Yu Qiong in the world today, that is, my master." ”

Saying that, he turned his head to look at Yu Xueying again, and said categorically: "Your mother is not called Liu Mo, she is 'Dao Immortal' Mo Rao." ”

"What?" The two brothers and sisters Yu Shuang were taken aback when they heard this, looked at each other, and half-opened their mouths, but they couldn't make a sound.

Pan Xincheng said in a gentle voice: "The master's Taoism is mysterious, and it is unique, I won't be mistaken." That night, the one who died with the four unicorn beasts was your father, my master, Yu Qiong. The letter you gave me was also written by Shi Niang Morao, and it will not be wrong. ”

In the small hut, there was silence for a moment, and no one spoke.

This surprise was not trivial, Yu Shuang's face was pale, his mouth was wheezing, sweat was sliding down his forehead, and his eyes became confused.

He had heard of it for a long time, but when he thought that it would be his father, he really couldn't come back to his senses.

But seeing Pan Xincheng's resolute expression, it didn't seem to be joking with him, he was dumbfounded for a while, looking at Pan Xincheng blankly, speechless for a while.

Yu Xueying is also the same as him, but the death of his parents, Yu Shuang hid it from his sister. She also didn't know about the death of her parents, this shock did not stop, she was shocked again, her face was as pale as paper, and it was unbearable for a while, so she sat down on the ground and cried.

Pan Xincheng sat up slowly against the wall, his face was the same as the two of them, the corners of his eyes were swollen, the circles under his eyes were solemn, his lips moved slightly, and he didn't say anything for a while.

At this time, Pan Xiaohan walked in with a pot of tea, frowned when he saw this, and said to Pan Xincheng: "Dad, are you okay?

Pan Xincheng pondered for a while, and said to Pan Xiaohan: "You go and tell Steward Fang that from now on, these two brothers and sisters will live in the mansion forever, and you have to treat them like your own relatives, you know?"

Pan Xiaohan's face froze when he heard this, his face was surprised, he glanced at the two Yu Shuang brothers and sisters, and said in surprise: "What? Dad, did I hear it wrong? You have to take them in." ”

Pan Xincheng's face changed when he heard this, and he corrected: "It's not about taking in, it's about raising." Did you hear me clearly?"

Pan Xiaohan glanced at the two brothers and sisters of Yu Shuang who were sobbing to themselves, a look of disdain appeared on their faces, their mouths were flattened, and they said, "Xiaohan knows, Dad." ”

Pan Xincheng knows that her daughter has been perverse since she was a child and does not like to be born into the house, all of which has something to do with the loss of her mother since she was a child, and secondly, she is often busy with trivial things in the city and has no time to take care of her daughter, so it is caused.

But at this moment, his heart was chaotic, and he had no time to talk to her in detail, so he only said in a deep voice: "Don't be rude to their brother and sister in the future, if you commit another offense, I will not forgive you!"

Pan Xiaohan was startled, the copper kettle fell to the ground with a "bang", her eyes flashed with tears, she felt aggrieved in her heart, and said, "Yes, Dad." Xiao Han knew that he would not dare to disrespect Brother Shuang in the future, and he would not dare to bully Sister Xue Ying. ”

Saying that, she turned her head to Shuang and Yu Xueying and said, "Brother Yu Shuang, Sister Xueying, I was wrong yesterday, I shouldn't have done that to you, you adults don't remember villains, just forgive me." ”

Pan Xincheng glanced at his daughter, he didn't know what happened at the gate of the mansion yesterday.

Yu Shuang waved her hand, squeezed out a smile on her face, and said softly: "What did Sister Xiaohan say, our brother and sister suffered this catastrophe, fortunately, Uncle Pan was kind enough to take it in, in the future, you and Ying'er will be my sister, I will treat you as my own sister, where is there a brother who hates his sister?"

Pan Xiaohan suddenly smiled, like pear blossoms with rain, glanced at Yu Shuang deeply, and said with a slight smile: "Thank you Brother Yu Shuang." ”

Pan Xincheng's face softened, paused, and said lightly: "Shuang'er, I know that you are sad in your hearts, and so am I." But after all, it's all over, and we should look forward. In the future, if you live in Pan Mansion, if you have any needs, just tell me, if I am not there, you can find Steward Fang or Xiaohan, they will help you. ”

Yu Shuang's heart was hot, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

He helped Yu Xueying up, helped her wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and bowed deeply to Pan Xincheng together, and said astringently: "Thank you Uncle Pan for taking me in, I thanked Uncle Pan for my deceased father and mother." In fact, Shuang'er has no ambition in her heart, she just wants to stay with her relatives for a long time, and now that only her sister is left to live alone, Shuang'er has only one wish in her heart, that is, she hopes that she can be happy every day. As for me, I will also assume that this is my home, and if there is a place where Shuang'er needs to help in the future, please ask Uncle Pan to give me orders. ”

Pan Xincheng shook his hand and said with a faint smile: "No, in fact, in my heart, being able to let you live in Pan's Mansion is a kind of forgiveness in my heart." Master, he can still think of me, an unsuccessful apprentice, at the moment before the immortal dies, I am a broken body, and I have to raise you, such a heavy responsibility, I am duty-bound. ”

Pan Xiaohan handed the three cups of tea to the three people in the house, and smiled at Shuang: "Brother Yu Shuang can live well, our Pan Mansion has Uncle Fang, who cares for the family, and it is very safe." Sister Ying'er is smart and well-behaved, your wish will definitely come true. ”

A smile leaked from the corner of Yu Shuang's mouth, and she glanced at Pan Xiaohan deeply, wanting to bend down and salute her.

Pan Xinxin said sincerely: "Shuang'er doesn't have to be like this, you don't have to have so many courtesies to live in the mansion in the future." But what Xiao Han said is right, I think Ying'er and Xiao Han are the same age, and they are quite speculative, so they will study together in Pan Mansion in the future. But Shuang'er, you are a man, I wonder if you are interested in practicing the Tao? The husband stands up to the sky, and the ancients said that 'the tiger father has no dog son', and in the future, he will practice the Tao and benefit the world, which can be regarded as a kind of consolation to the master's spirit in the sky, I don't know what you think?"

Yu Shuang hesitated for a moment, and said lightly: "To be honest, I have no interest in cultivating the Tao, and I don't have the ambition to take the common people in the world as my own responsibility. Saying that, she turned her head to look at Yu Xueying, stretched out her hand and gently stroked his head, her face leaked a look of love, and said categorically: "What Shuang'er thinks about is to watch Ying'er grow up with her own eyes." ”

Pan Xincheng's eyes flashed a glimmer of light, seemed to fall into contemplation, every late at night, this thought also seemed to appear in his mind for a long time, the Tao of cultivation, in exchange for a lifelong obsession, once upon a time, if the world is peaceful, why don't you want to quit the world's disputes, peace of mind to do yourself for a few days?

Thinking of this, he smiled bitterly, raised his eyes to look at Yu Shuang, and said lightly: "It's okay, everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't be forced." In fact, this is also a happy life, but now the two realms of righteousness and demons are incompatible, and under the sky, it is all killing. I'm ashamed to say that I have been practicing the Tao for many years, and now I am over half a hundred years old, but I ask myself to calm the troubled times, after all, I have no skills. At the moment, if you say something good, it is to protect the peace of the party, but if you say it badly, you feel that you are hiding in the dark corner of the gutter and blaspheming your duty. ”

"Uncle Pan's words are serious," Yu Shuang hurriedly said: "If one out of ten people in the cultivation path in this world is like Uncle Pan, how can there be such a big chaos, how can it be so chaotic?"

Pan Xincheng slowly breathed a sigh of relief, looked out the window, and said lightly: "If the two realms of righteousness and demons can release their previous suspicions and work together for the livelihood of the people in the world, then the disputes in the world will stop, and the people will definitely be very lucky." ”

Yu Shuang also followed Pan Xincheng's gaze, looked up at the window, and saw a bright moon hanging on the branches outside the window, the cold moonlight was like water, softly sprinkled to the world.

After a while, Pan Xincheng sighed and said lightly: "That's it, don't talk about it so much, it's getting late, let Xiaohan take you to rest quickly, we will talk tomorrow." ”

Yu Shuang stood up and bowed his hand to Pan Xincheng and said, "Uncle Pan was unwell today and went to participate in the competition, my brother and sister really admired my uncle in their eyes. I hope that my uncle will rest well, and we will go out. ”

Yu Xueying has been standing absent-mindedly with her head bowed, since she heard the death of her parents, she was sad in her heart, and she didn't know what she was thinking at the moment, hearing this, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Pan Xincheng, her voice was slightly bitter, and said: "Uncle Pan, Ying'er is gone, you have to rest well, and Ying'er will come to see you another day." ”

Pan Xincheng's heart warmed, a smile leaked from his face, and he turned to Pan Xiaohan and said, "Xiaohan, take them to the 'Guanhai Pavilion' to rest, and go to study with Ying'er early tomorrow morning." ”

Pan Xiaohan nodded, and said to Shuang Erren: "Brother Yu Shuang, you come with me." ”

The two brothers and sisters nodded and followed Pan Xiaohan out of the door.
