Chapter 127: I haven't seen you grow taller for two years
"Eighteen, is your Uncle Yuanqiao really gone?" In a wooden building in the Taoist temple on Luofu Mountain, an old Taoist priest dressed in a yellow Taoist robe, whose body was like dead wood, looked at Mao Eighteen who was standing aside and asked.
"Uncle Boss, Uncle Yuanqiao is indeed gone, we will ...... this afternoon" Mao Shibai said in a sad tone what happened in Taoshan during the day today.
"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, I can't imagine that the five senior brothers of our Yuanzi generation, now only me and Yuanhai are left. The old Taoist priest in a yellow robe sighed bitterly with tears in his eyes, and after a long time, he said at the time, "Eighteen, you go to rest first, and we will go to Peach Mountain tomorrow morning." β
"Yes, Master. Mao Eighteen made a big salute to his uncle Huang Yuanchen, and then retreated outside the house with the ten hearts who came with him.
"I didn't expect Uncle Yuanqiao to leave like this. Outside, Shixin's tone was full of sadness and grief. Beside him, Mao Eighteen bowed his head and was silent.
When the two walked out of the Taoist temple, Mao Shibai stretched out his hand to wipe a trace of tears on his face, and said to Shixin beside him, "Senior Brother Shixin, you go to rest first, I want to go down the mountain." β
"Oh~ Okay, it's dark at night, so be careful on the road when you go down the mountain. Shixin nodded, and then looked at Mao Eighteen's back and disappeared into the night.
On the way down the mountain, Mao 18 remembered the scene of getting along with Li Ge and Lin Yurou at the foot of Wushan Mountain two years ago, and unconsciously, his figure appeared at the edge of Xin'an County at the foot of Luofu Mountain.
Listening to the rain inn, an inn very close to Luofu Mountain, after going down the mountain, Mao 18 with eager thoughts in his heart, after running briskly for a while, he came to the gate of this inn.
On the counter in the lobby of the inn, an oil lamp was burning, and on the counter, there was a person lying on his stomach, holding his head in his hands, and there was a slight snoring sound in his mouth, obviously asleep.
"Ahem~" Mao Shibai stood at the door and coughed vigorously. The person who was asleep at the counter was awakened by the sudden coughing sound, yawned, looked at Mao Shiba, and then walked out of the counter with a smile on his face.
"This young master, are you going to stay in the hotel?" Listening to his words, this person is not the shopkeeper, but the second child of this listening to the rain inn.
"I don't live in the store, I'm looking for someone. Mao 18 smiled slightly and walked into the inn.
"Looking for someone, this young man, when is this, the guests of this store should all be asleep, I think you should stay with us first, and wait for tomorrow morning." Xiao Er stared at Mao Eighteen, who was dressed in a big red robe, and looked up and down for a while before he replied.
"I'm in a hurry, and I'm going to find it now. Mao Eighteen stretched out his hand and touched his waist, took out a small piece of broken silver and handed it to the shopkeeper. Although he was only fifteen years old, he was clear about these things.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you. The shopkeeper took the broken silver, thanked him repeatedly, and then put the silver into the pocket of his clothes, and asked with a smile, "Who is the master looking for?"
"I'm looking for a son named Li Ge, who should have stayed in your store today. Mao 18 looked up at the upstairs of the inn, and then said who he was looking for.
"Li Gegongzi, oh~ I know, he told me that if someone came to him, he would lead someone directly to his room. Master, you come with me. When the shopkeeper heard this, he eagerly led Mao 18 to the guest room upstairs of the inn.
The two came to the door of a large guest room on the second floor of the inn, Xiao Er stretched out his hand and tapped on the door, and whispered, "Li Gongzi, have you slept?"
"Didn't sleep, what's the matter at such a late hour?" A familiar voice sounded in the room, and then the door opened, and a handsome boy in a dark green robe stood in the doorway.
The moment "Brother Ge" and "Eighteen" opened the door, the green-clothed boy in the room and the red-clothed young man outside the room shouted almost at the same time, and then the former pressed his hands on the latter's shoulders and looked at them carefully.
"Fast into house eighteen. Li Ge happily welcomed Mao 18 into the house. Seeing this, the shopkeeper took the door up and down the stairs with interest.
"Big brother, Jingchen, eighteen is here. After pulling Mao 18 into the room, Li Ge happily introduced the red-clothed young man next to him to Wu Youqiu and Jingchen in the room.
"Eighteen, eighteen, hey, I finally saw you. Sitting at a wooden table lit with an oil lamp, Wu Youqiu saw Mao Eighteen, quickly got up and walked to the latter's side, and looked at the latter with a smile.
"Amitabha! The little monk has seen the third brother. Jingchen, who was sitting on the edge of the bed and was about to sleep, saw the young man in red, and hurriedly walked to his side, clasped his fat hand, and introduced himself to the young man.
"Third brother, are you ......" Mao Shibai saw Wu Youqiu and Jingchen, touched the back of his head in astonishment and hesitated for a moment, and then said to Li Ge on the side, "Brother Ge, are the two of them the apprentices of Wu Dafang's predecessor and Qingxu's predecessor?"
"Yes~" Li Ge nodded happily, patted the red-clothed young man who was almost as tall as himself, and said with a smile, "Eighteen, we haven't seen each other for two years, I didn't expect you to grow so much taller." β
Mao Shibai looked at Li Ge and smiled stupidly, stretched out his hand and grabbed the back of his head, looking like a very stupid and naΓ―ve person. In fact, Mao Shiba's personality has been cold and indifferent since he was a child, and this side of him has only been seen by his master and Li Ge. In front of others, he was like a thousand-year-old piece of ice, cold and hard.
"Brother Ge, is Sister Yurou here too? Mao 18 looked at Li Ge and smirked for a while, then asked about Lin Yurou.
"Yurou!" Li Ge muttered these two words after hearing this, and then his face was full of grief, and he lowered his head and sat down at the oil table in the room.
"Brother Ge, what's wrong with you? What happened to Sister Yurou?" Mao 18 saw Li Ge's expression and asked.
"Amitabha! Third brother, Sister Yurou is no longer alive. Jingchen walked up to the young man in red and said with tears in his eyes.
"Don't stand stupidly eighteen, sit down. Wu Youqiu glanced at Mao Shiba, saw him silently looking at Li Ge with tears in his eyes, and hurriedly pulled him to the table and sat down.
was originally full of joy and reunion, but because of the departure of one person, he was sad and speechless. The four of them sat quietly in the room, and after a long silence, Li Ge's voice broke the silence.
"Eighteen, I received your letter, so I came this time to take you to the Thaumaturgical Pavilion. Li Ge gently patted Mao Eighteen's back and said in a calm tone.
"Okay~" Mao Shibai nodded, wiped the tears in his eyes, and then said, "Brother Ge, my uncle was killed this afternoon, I want to work with my uncle tomorrow to avenge my uncle before leaving here." β
"We'll go with you tomorrow. Li Ge nodded, and said, "Eighteen, this is Brother Youqiu, this is pure dust, in the future, we will be like our master's generation, how about clearing evil and sweeping demons together, and supporting each other to finish this life?"
"Hmm~" Mao Eighteen nodded, got up and raised his hand to Wu Youqiu and Jingchen and saluted. Then the four of them began to talk freely in the room.
