"Are you ......" Chu Xunyu was puzzled for a while, looking at the black shadow under the willow tree, he did not feel danger in his heart, but was puzzled, because there was a feeling that it was very familiar.

The purple light in his right eye appeared, and after seeing the person behind the tree clearly, he was taken aback and cried out, "Father!"

The man walked out of the shadows under the tree, and in the moonlight, came to the front, looked at Chu Xunyu calmly, didn't say anything, just looked at him with deep eyes, and just kept looking......

Chu Xunyu's tears slowly seeped out from the purple brilliance, and after a long time, he slowly spoke: "Child...... Unfilial....... ”

"It's good to be back. "For the first time, my father showed tenderness, I haven't seen him for a few years, even if the cultivator jumps out of the realm of time, but, it is still inevitable, Chu Xunyu felt that his father was much older, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes slowly climbed up, is it all because of himself?

Father nodded, showing a relieved smile: "Siyan said, you are back, so wait for you at home and mother, come on, we haven't seen each other for a long time." ”

Chu Xunyu raised his sleeves, silently wiped away his tears, the brilliance of his right eye dimmed, and silently followed his father's back.

Looking at my father's back, I think back to the past, once upon a time, I was so familiar, I have been following behind since I was a child, although I was very strict with myself and made myself very afraid, but now it is still the same?

I still entered through the handyman's door, but the courtyard was quiet, and the handymen who wanted to come to the night patrol were temporarily transferred out by my father under the pretext of being transferred. No one spoke, and in the dark night, only the sound of footsteps walking on the cobblestone floor of the garden and the cries of some insects seemed to go back to childhood.

returned to the house where he once lived, pushed open the door, and saw his mother and sister anxiously waiting for news at the table, Chu Xunyu couldn't help but feel a trace of guilt in his heart, he was really unfilial, and his family had been worried in vain for so many years.

"Yi'er, you're back. The mother came to the front excitedly, tears streaming down her face, sobbing, "Grow up......"

Chu Xunyu leaned his long sword against the table, immediately knelt down, and choked up: "The child is not filial......

His mother hurriedly helped him up, pulled him to the table, and together with his sister, looked at his face.

Suddenly, when I looked up, I found that my father was bending down and rummaging through the cupboard, and I couldn't help but feel a little strange. Father's figure is not very tall, after all these years, in the candlelight, the back is more vicissitudes, in the cabinet, looking for Lianlian, hard to the extreme, half a night, took out a paper bag, put down the ground next to him, and continued to look for it.

After a while, my father straightened up, with a little relief in his eyes, came to the table, opened the paper bag in his hand, and said with a smile: "These are what you like to eat." ”

Chu Xunyu looked down and saw that there were some snacks that he liked to eat when he was a child, and suddenly, his nose was sore, and he had an urge to cry, and his father's big hand slapped him on the shoulder, pretending to be angry: "What are you crying about, a dignified man." ”

Holding back a breath, he swallowed the tears in his heart, and then nodded silently: "Father has a heart." ”

"En......" The father sat down, picked up the teacup in his hand, and after a while, a sentence came out: "How have you been doing all these years?"

"Good...... Good ......" picked up the halva on the table, put it in his mouth, chewed it for a long time, but couldn't swallow it.

My sister handed over a cup of tea and asked, "How is the matter with my brother and sister?"

"En?" Chu Xunyu was shocked, and hurriedly talked about what had happened over the years, hoping that his father could give him some guidance, because in his mind, although his father was strict, he had always been a very wise person, and he was the most admired person in his life.

In the heat of the tea, my father quietly listened to the events of these years, without saying a word, and waited until Chu Xunyu finished speaking, and then said suspiciously: "Is your sixth uncle related to this matter?" I don't think it's possible. ”

"I don't think it's possible, but I still have to ask him who went with him when he helped Zhang Yuchu treat his injuries. ”

"Yes. Father nodded, "This point is to ask clearly, in this way, your sixth uncle is also here, without further ado, I will ask him and inquire clearly." With that, he got up and went out.

"Wait. Seeing his father's figure about to go out, Chu Xunyu hurriedly stopped him, "I'll go with you, in case the sixth uncle is really a bad person, it will definitely be bad for my father, I'll go with you and ask for understanding." ”

"No, I don't. The father smiled faintly, "You shouldn't show up more now, so stay with your mother and sister." ”

"No!" Chu Xunyu shook his head resolutely, "I can't let my father take risks alone. ”

"Huh. Father's confident look reappeared, "I won't just give in so easily, don't worry." ”

After speaking, he left alone and went to the house of the head of the family, and Chu Xunyuzi sighed, sat down silently, and chatted with his family about the past.

After a long time of incense, my father returned, but with a strange expression, he walked into the house.

"How is it?" Chu Xunyu hurriedly asked, "What did he say about Sixth Uncle?"

He said he had gone with old Kimber. ”

"What? is he?" Chu Xunyu was taken aback, no wonder his father's expression was so incredible, this was indeed an amazing answer. Old Kimber knows a little about this person, but he doesn't dare to say how clear he is, because no one knows the origin of this old man, only that he is a person from the Medicine King's Mansion, what is his real name, I forgot, I just call him that.

Yaowangfu has a long history, they also have their own library pavilion, the old Jin Bo is the gatekeeper of the library pavilion, for many years, have been silently cleaning the dust in it, Chu Xunyu remembers that when he was very young, he often went to the library with his peers to read books, and the old Jin Bo always received them happily, like a trick, he could always take out a lot of fruits for the children to eat, often holding himself in the yard to play, the winter sun was warm, making a pot of tea, his side, always so warm.

But there is one thing, Chu Xunyu knows that this person's origin must be extraordinary, the reason is very simple, he has been in the library for I don't know how many years, his qualifications are surprisingly old, in front of most people, he can call the senior, at least in Siyi's eyes. In my memory, except for the head of the family, who can call him by his first name, everyone else calls him the same senior.

Especially when Chu Xunyu was a child, he asked his father about the origin of the old Kimber, and even his father couldn't tell him clearly, and his father said that when he was young, he was also carried by the old Kimber in the yard, so you can imagine what kind of old qualifications this person is. Old Kimber was in charge of the library cabinet, and he was very leisurely all day long, often carrying a pot of old wine, making some melons and fruits in summer, and taking a pot of charcoal fire in winter, sitting on the balcony on the top floor of the library pavilion, facing the moonlight, pouring himself a drink, and seemed to enjoy such a wonderful life.

Basically, every day I have to inspect the room of the library pavilion in the morning and evening, sweep the dust, make up the old books, and live like this, the happiest thing every day is to be in the courtyard, laughing at the children in the family, Chu Xunyu bets that in the entire huge Yaowang Mansion, no child dares to say that he has not hugged or eaten his things for Lao Jinbo.

For such a person, he would say that he would go to Longhu Mountain to get something, it was unbelievable, in his memory, he didn't even go out of the door, Chu Xunyu asked suspiciously: "Father, you are not mistaken? How can it be that old Kimber?"

The father shook his head: "Actually, if you want to say that Old Kimber really knows any news, it is really possible, because his information is very old, maybe he really knows something, you can go to the library and ask." ”

"Can he tell me if I ask so directly?"

"I think he will. ”

"Oh?"

"There are two reasons for this. ”

"I want to hear about it. Chu Xunyu has always admired his father's judgment in major matters.

"It's very simple, first, my Medicine King's Mansion has a long history, and there are countless pills, exercises, and classics stored in the library pavilion, which can be described as the most important thing, but there has always been only one old Jin Bo to guard it, which shows that he is indeed a master. Second, the last time you secretly went home and sneaked in to read a book, didn't you notice that Old Kimber turned a blind eye? It can be seen that he still takes good care of you. ”

"What?" Chu Xunyu was taken aback, "I went back to the Library Pavilion last time, do you know?" Last time, I took the rubbing of the Hongdaomen mural and went home to translate, thinking that the gods were unaware of the ghosts, and they were also walking in the dark road, but I didn't expect my family to know?

"You also underestimate us, don't think that our cultivation has improved a lot, we don't know. The father shook his head helplessly, looked at him, and then said seriously, "There are a lot of talented people in this world, don't underestimate others, of course, don't worry, the news of your return is only clear to a few of us related people." ”

"Oh. Chu Xunyu heard his father say this, and then remembered, no wonder the last time he entered the library pavilion, he always felt empty in his heart, something was missing, it turned out that that night, he didn't see Lao Kimber, it seems that this person deliberately hid and let himself in.

"In that case, without further ado, I will set off at once, rush home to the library and ask for an understanding. ”

"You're leaving so soon?" the mother seemed a little reluctant when she heard this.

"Go ahead. The father nodded approvingly, "The boy has a lot of burdens, and he will wash away his grievances and go home with dignity." ”

"Good. Chu Xunyu suddenly remembered something, and said, "Father, there is one more thing, I hope you can help." ”

"Between father and son, why talk about it, if there is anything, let's talk about it. ”

"I mentioned the matter of Mu Yuan, I rushed home now, but Jinling is there, and I ask my father to take care of me more, so that Mu Yuan can't be mishap. ”

"Okay, don't worry, this time to Jinling, it doesn't take half an hour to ride an ordinary horse, I will immediately repair a book, send it to the Tianjie Temple in a secret letter, and give it to Abbot Huitan. ”

"Thank you father, mother is also cherished, five days later, my sister will get married, and I will see you when I come back. ”

After Chu Xunyu said goodbye to his family, he was about to go out immediately, when his father stopped him and said with a smile: "You just said that your current name is Chu Xunyu? ”

Hearing this, Chu Xunyu smiled slightly, then went out in a low-key manner, got up directly in the sky, rushed back to his home library pavilion, and in the vast night sky, flew to the Medicine King's Mansion, which had always been mysterious and did not deal with outsiders......
