Chapter 1064: Han Mansion
Road... Taoism?!"
"This must be an immortal who knows the Dao Law!"
"I think so, otherwise why would it be gone in the blink of an eye!"
"Hurry up, find this immortal, I want to learn from a teacher!"
"Let's split up!"
"Go and inform Lord Zhizhou......"
“......”
From the moment Locke disappeared, the people of Blackwater City gathered nearby were somewhat in chaos and a certain inexplicable frenzy.
Taoism and immortals have always been magical and magnificent things that have been spread in the ordinary human world of the Qingyang Realm, and for these ordinary people living at the bottom of the world, legends are often audible but unobtainable.
Now that a monk with Dao Dharma appeared in front of them, how could they not make these ordinary people excited and excited.
If you can get the guidance and blessings of the immortals, it will be the creation that they have cultivated for several lifetimes.
When the people of Blackwater City fell into the enthusiasm of looking for immortals, the immortal they had been looking for came to a simple mansion somewhere in the southwest city lane of Blackwater City.
There was an old poplar tree planted in front of the house, judging from the memories of Han Shuo absorbed by Locke, when Han Shuo left this place more than thirty years ago, this poplar tree was upright and young, but more than thirty years later, even the trees known for their longevity seemed to be a little decayed and decrepit.
On a weather-beaten plaque, the word 'Hanfu' has been worn and turned white.
"It looks like a bit of a family. Under the bronze mask, Locke sighed.
When Han Shuo left thirty years ago, it was the stage when the Han Mansion was turning from prosperity to decline, and judging from the current state of the family, the relatives of the Han Mansion had not had a good time these years.
Gently buckle the copper ring in front of the door, and the rusty copper ring collides with the wooden door, making a piercing 'oosh' sound.
After waiting patiently for a few minutes, but there was no movement in the house, Locke was not in a hurry, and continued to patiently buckle the copper ring.
With the strong spiritual power of his third-level creatures, he naturally saw that this mansion was inhabited.
Sure enough, after about fifteen minutes of Locke's persistent knocking on the door, a rush of footsteps came from inside the courtyard.
"It's coming, it's coming. "Before I saw him, I heard him first, and it should be a young girl who spoke.
The wooden door was pushed open with difficulty in a "creaking, creaking" sound, so that Locke was very worried about whether the wooden door would suddenly fall apart in the next second.
The wooden door opened, and a slim girl dressed in navy blue stood behind the door.
Holding a wooden basin in his hand, the basin was full of some washed clothes, and a few drops of sweat fell on her forehead, it seemed that this girl ran all the way out of the house.
Although she was panting tiredly, the woman did not show any gaffe, and after standing upright, she politely asked Locke, "Who are you, are you here to find someone?"
The Han family was a well-known scholarly family in Blackwater City a few decades ago, and Han Shuo was able to worship the outer gate of the Hailan Sect, not only because of his qualifications of the three lines of miscellaneous spirit roots, but also because the family behind him also provided some assistance in it.
This woman is obviously influenced by the atmosphere of the family, and she is not in a hurry and a little crepe when she speaks, and with her sweaty face at this time, I can see pity.
There were so many clothes in the tub in her hand that it was really difficult for this girl, and Locke could tell that she should only be about sixteen years old.
Because she was wearing a bronze mask, the woman couldn't see Locke's expression clearly, let alone Locke's appearance, and seeing that this strange man didn't say a word for a long time, she felt a little strange in her heart.
Probably staying at home all year round and only being accompanied by poetry and books, this woman did not have anything unusual because of the Taoist robe that Locke was wearing. In fact, this girl hasn't been out for several years.
"Well, cough cough, may I ask Han Zhenggong, is Han Fuzi still there?" Locke asked, Han Zhenggong is Han Shuo's father, and it should also be Han Shuo, who lost his mother at an early age, the closest family member in this world.
Locke's question made the woman's eyes widen, and after looking at Locke back and forth for a few times, she said slowly, "My grandfather died thirty years ago, who are you? How do you know my grandfather?"
If it weren't for the strict recitation of the genealogy of the Han family, it is estimated that this girl would only know the elders of her grandfather's generation at most, where would she know about the situation of her grandfather.
"Thirty years ago......" Faced with the woman's rhetorical question, Locke did not rush to answer, but sighed slightly melancholy.
He wasn't lamenting for Han Shuo, but for the transience of a low-level life.
After being promoted to the Heavenly Knight, they have a lifespan of more than a thousand years, and thirty years is just a flick of a finger in Locke's eyes, but for these low-level lives below the first level, thirty years almost includes most of their lives.
"What's your name?" Locke asked the woman in front of him.
Under normal circumstances, the woman would definitely not casually reveal her name to strangers, but in the face of Locke's understatement and unquestionable inquiry, she subconsciously replied, "Han Xue'er." ”
"Han Xue'er? Well, that's good. Locke laughed, this woman was born with white skin and beauty, and she really deserves the word 'Cher'.
Different from Locke's relaxation, Han Xueer screamed "ah" after unconsciously saying her name, and then ran to the backyard in a panic with the wooden basin in her arms.
In the past 16 years, she has talked to people no more than ten times, and there are not a few opportunities to talk to strangers of the opposite sex.
The Terran women in the Qingyang realm are generally conservative, especially here in the Great Cloud Country, dogmatism and three obedience and four virtues are very prevalent, unless they are relatives
people, otherwise there will definitely not be much communication with the opposite sex.
Even if it is a husband who will marry in the future, it is normal for the husband and wife to not even see each other in person before marriage.
Han Xue'er ran all the way to the inner mansion, making Locke outside the door really embarrassed.
"Could it be that wearing this mask scares her?" Locke couldn't help but think.
Then he took off the bronze mask, and Locke also stepped into Han Shuo's memory, and he had been absent from the Han Mansion for more than thirty years.
The Han Mansion has indeed decayed too much over the years, and more than half of the more than a dozen courtyards are idle, and there is no furniture in the courtyard, and it is bare.
Although the remaining small half of the courtyard can be seen to have traces of frequent cleaning, the courtyard is also poor and simple.
There are only three popular courtyards, namely a courtyard that Han Xueer ran into, a courtyard where a gray old woman was staying, and a courtyard where a middle-aged man was lying on a couch.
Following Han Xue'er's footprints, Locke entered the courtyard she ran into, and this time he finally saw an 'acquaintance' in his memory.
