Chapter 18: The Strange Affair of Youzhou

If Liuyun City is a gentle little jasper, then the beauty of Youzhou City is magnificent.

It is located at the foot of the mountain of Yangyun Sect, one of the enrollment points of the Immortal Realm.

Yangyun Sect is known as a good name, with eighteen main peaks and thirty-six sub-peaks.

Each of the main peaks has a peak master, several elders, and the rest are the inner disciples of each peak.

Zifeng is the gathering place of the outer disciples, and the inner disciples are responsible for the restraint and discipline.

Because of the relationship between the Yangyun Sect, everyone in Youzhou City seeks immortals, and everyone goes to the Tao.

Even if you drag a child on the side of the road and ask him about it, he can open his mouth to talk to you.

In the past, the people of Youzhou City were kind, the road was not forgotten, and the neighbors were harmonious.

In today's Youzhou City, the servants scold the streets, the men fight fiercely, and even the children are angry.

"That's what you call the people you asked, simple and kind?"

Long San pointed to the scene in front of him, full of surprise, this is too different from what he said?

"Uh...... Accidents, accidents, you believe me. ”

Li Bo's face was scornful, and he was really not bad. Who knew if the city would become like this after not coming for a while?

If he had known, he wouldn't have brought her here. One after another, he himself felt that he was about to lose his face.

Immediately, the conversation changed.

"Do you think there's anything wrong with them?"

"Well, I can't tell. ”

Ryuzo shook his head, she was telling the truth. obviously felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't hold the thread in the mysterious fog.

Those who cultivate the Tao pay attention to peace of mind. But they didn't have the slightest at all, only full of anger and unwillingness.

Suddenly, Long San thumped her hands, and she realized.

It's the state of mind, these people's state of mind seems to have been impregnated by something, their original heart has been lost, and now they are just puppets of others.

"Their ......"

"State of mind. ”

Li Bo looked at Long San, and the two of them thought of one place, looking at the whole city, in addition to the transformation of everyone, there was also a little more gloomy and cold atmosphere in the city.

It's not obvious, but it's also not hidden.

Raise your hand to cover your eyes and look up at the scorching sun in the sky. It can still be found under such a hot sun, but I am afraid that it will be more at night.

"Find a place to rest first, we'll check out in the evening. ”

"Did you find anything?"

Looking at his reaction, there must be something in his heart, but I don't know what he found?

"There's a clue, I'll have to wait until the evening to verify. ”

"Ah......h

As soon as Li Bo's words fell, he screamed in pain. Long San even stepped forward and helped the old man up.

"Grandma, what's going on?"

Was that young man her son just now? Why did he beat his own mother violently, and how filial piety was paid attention to by mortals?

The old man sat on the ground, his cloudy eyes full of tears.

In the past, her sword life was not like this, not to mention the best filial piety, but also notoriously obedient.

But now I don't know what the devil is, and I have become undisciplined, and I don't distinguish between right and wrong.

In addition to cockfighting and walking dogs, it is prostitution and gambling to visit the kiln.

A good home, he was defeated and scattered, and even the old man passed away angrily.

"I don't know, my son wasn't like that before.

He's very well-behaved and treats me very well, really, little girl, you have to believe me. ”

The old man clenched Ryuzo's hand tightly, as if he was eager to prove something.

Li Bo frowned, lifted his shirt and squatted down on one knee next to the old man.

"Mother-in-law, can you tell us what your son was like before?

When did he become like this?"

Skimming through the entire alley, there was a crowd of people, but no one stepped forward to ask, let alone help the elderly.

When will the human heart be so cold that it can be cold?

Retracting his gaze, Long San's imperceptible chin head, Li Bo understood, and the two helped the old man into the house.

Ryuzo searched all over the house, but couldn't find a complete cup and bowl, and finally had to choose a relatively good one among a pile of broken cups and bowls, and poured a glass of water for the old man to drink.

After drinking the water, the old man seemed to calm down and looked at the two gratefully.

In today's Youzhou City, there are no people with good hearts and virtues.

"My son, Daimyo Kensheng, is a native-born native.

This year is eighteen years old, and there was a good marriage for the right family.

Now there's nothing, it's gone......"

"Grandma, you speak slowly, don't be sad first, the matter has come to this point, find out the reason to help Jian Sheng. ”

Touching out a handkerchief, Long San intimately wiped away the tears of the old man.

"Thank you, kid. ”

"Half a year ago, my son didn't know what the devil was, so he took the marriage certificate to withdraw from his family, and forced people to take thirty taels of silver as a withdrawal fee.

He threatened that if he didn't want him, he would go to the door every day to block people's doors and ask the neighbors to come and see the joke. ”

"My family was angry, so I agreed on the spot. gave thirty taels of silver to buy the marriage certificate, and the next day he promised his daughter to another family.

And all this, my old man and I were the last to know. ”

"By the time we want to redeem it, it's too late. ”

Li Bo watched the old man's reaction, and this heartache could not be faked.

Since it is not fake, it can only be true.

"What was wrong with him before this?"

Long San's originally drooping eyes were raised slightly, looking at Li Bo silently.

What was he suspecting?

The old man shook his head, grabbed the handkerchief in his palm and wiped his tears.

Only then did he sobble and continued: "The matter of marriage, if you lose it, you will not have a chance."

Our husband and wife couldn't persuade each other, and we could only look forward to being restrained in the future.

Who knows...... I didn't know that he began to visit the kiln, and he didn't learn all day long, but only prostituted and gambled. ”

"Not to mention losing thirty taels of silver, he also used everything in his family worth a few dollars as gambling money.

My old man was angry, so he argued a few words. He beat the old man to vomit blood and couldn't afford to get sick, and he didn't come back to see him twice for the last time. ”

"You're just pampering him, don't care about him?"

This is a matter of silver marriage, and he is simply a wolf-hearted and disobedient son.

Ryuzo looked at the old man and swept Li Bo.

Li Bo hurriedly shook his hand and stopped, brother is not that kind of person.

Not to mention that he has no father or mother, a little immortal who has risen from the nether.

Even if he has parents, he is definitely not that kind of person. How else would he secure the throne of His Holiness?

Well, Ryuzo knew that he had angered Libo. But the old man's business, her heart was about to explode when she heard it.

That sword is too much of a thing.

How did he get his hands on his parents? When he woke up in the middle of the night, didn't his conscience hurt?

"Managed, why don't you care?

But how can I take care of a woman's family? If he doesn't listen, he can't beat him.

Even his father couldn't control him, regretting that he shouldn't have given birth to him.

At that time, I was over 40 years old and pregnant, and I was considered an old child. I thought I was a blessed man, but I knew that he was a debt collector. ”

The old man said this with tears in his eyes, more of a disappointment in his son.

"And he ...... today? Why are you being beaten again?"

Although he guessed the roughly, Ryuzo still wanted to hear what the old man himself had to say?

"He lost money in the gambling house and asked me for money, where can I, a widowed wife, find money for him?

If he didn't give it to him, he pushed me to the ground and forcibly took the bracelet from my hand to charge the gambling money. ”

Old man, mother-in-law is useless, she didn't make Jiansheng turn back, but she didn't even keep the bracelet left by our mother.

My mother said that the bracelet will be passed on to the daughter-in-law but not to the daughter, so I will pass it on from generation to generation, but ...... But the sword gave birth to him, alas!

Long San lifted the old man's sleeve, and sure enough, his wrist was red and slightly swollen, and there was a skin that had been broken, and there was faint blood coming out.

For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

got up and helped the old man up, and said, "Grandma, I'll help you go to rest." ”

"Oh, good. Thank you for listening to your mother-in-law's nagging. ”

"You have a good rest, here we go. ”

Covering the old man with a thin quilt, Long San followed Li Bo out of the old man's house.

"Did you find anything?"

Walking in the narrow alley, the handkerchief that occupied the old man's tears was raised in the wind.

The old man's tears were very pure and not soaked in anger.

Li Bo squinted at the sun that was about to set, and raised his hand to cover it slightly.

"It's about the same as you. ”

Yes, it seems, they can only wait patiently for the night to come.

Putting away the veil, Long San was a little embarrassed.

What is it that makes people change their minds and forget that they are individuals?

"Would you like to get something to eat?"

After coming to Youzhou City for most of the day, she didn't shout hungry, which is not in line with her style?

Long San slapped Li Bo horizontally, what to eat? With this atmosphere, she can only have a ghost if she can eat.

Whether it's eating or eating, it's also about mood, isn't it?

Li Bo was stared at with joy, and the solemnity in his heart was slightly lighter.

"Don't worry, we can't interfere in human affairs. But is there still the Yangyun Sect? Youzhou City is at its feet, and the Yangyun Sect will not ignore it if there is really something. ”

That's all I can think about. ”

The corners of his mouth twitched, Long San stretched his ten fingers and stretched a big lazy waist, and suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.

Alas, the things that use your brain are really not for you.

She is looking forward to the peace of the four seas, but Youzhou City seems to be not the same.

It's not easy to be a person, just hope for nothing.

"Well, how about we go there and wait?"

Li Bo tugged at Long San's sleeve and pointed to the octagonal hanging Ling painting building in the distance.

Looking at it, it is especially eye-catching in the huge city.

The building is nine stories high and octagonal cornices, and now the roof of the building can overlook the entire Youzhou City.

Long San nodded, and the two sat incognito on the glazed tiles of the painting building.

Guarding the red sun and the west mountain, the lights in the city are quiet.

In Youzhou City, which sank into the night, there was no room for people in the alleys of all sizes.

A sudden gust of wind swayed the candles of thousands of homes.

Pulling himself together, Ryusan turned sideways to look at Li Bo. She felt a little cold, and the wind was strange.

Li Bo also pressed close to himself, and shivered excitedly.

It seems that the girl's suspicion is right. Neither she nor she are mortals, how can a few wisps of wind make their skin cold?

Not to mention the level of his cultivation, only with Long San's dragon skin, he can not be afraid of the fairy wind.

Youzhou City, I'm afraid it's not that simple.

"Look. ”

Ryuzo gave Li Bo a push and pointed in the northwest direction. At this time, the moonlight is cold, and the time has just passed.

A wave of hoarfrost swept across the city from the northwest, and even the painting buildings under their feet seemed to be soaked in wind and snow.

Ribo's eyes were shining, his cheeks were resolute, and the corners of his lips were piled up.

"Let's go, catch up and have a look. ”
