In the past few days, in addition to healing, he went to the intersection outside the village every day to stand for a while, hoping to see Yao Zikong and Zhu Yezi with Ah Ying appear in front of him. But it backfired, the miracle he hoped for did not happen, and at the end of the road, in addition to the cold wind, there was only an empty distance.

The distance is like poetry, but where is the beauty!

Now that the body has recovered seven or eight points, it is impossible to wait. On this morning, Li Xuan said goodbye to Yang Qian of the Short Knife Sect, who had recovered from his injuries, Long Nanzhong of the Lockthroat Gun Sect, Huang Gandan of Kuwei Laozi, and Cen Ranran, the leader of the Flame Gang. Several people put down simple wine and dishes at the intersection of the 'Xiaoyao Pavilion', held up wine bowls together, and drank heartily, until they left, Li Xuan also secretly made a decision, planning to leave Laomiao Village tomorrow, go alone, look for Yan Invincible all the way, and inquire where Yaowang Valley is, and rescue Ling Long.

With his mind decided, he went to the grave of his mother Long Hongye and burned some paper money, and after the memorial service, he felt that he should first go to An Ruohai, the owner of the Twelve Consecutive Money Farm, to ask why his mother Long Hongye would work in the Qian Village! But this thought only flashed in his heart, and he gave up again. Why did he give up this thought? Kneeling in front of the grave, he asked himself again and again. Since the mother faked his death, can't the father fake his death? Father! Alas, could he also serve in the Twelve Chains?

Li Xuan was amazed by his thoughts, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it made perfect sense.

Mother Long Hongye is the chief manager, what kind of person is An Ruohai, the owner of the village? He carefully recalled the conversation between Yan Wushu and his mother Long Hongye on the ice side of the water, his heart trembled, and he said secretly: "Mother, she has had a colorful life, she has loved Duguhong, gave birth to a child for that person, and married Brother An...... The person referred to in it is definitely not Duguhong, who is that person? Also, my mother is married to Brother An, who is this Brother An? Brother An will not be my father, right? Alas, if my father is really An Ruohai, the owner of the Twelve Consecutive Money Bank, how should I deal with it?"

He did not want to follow this line of thought, and the fear that arose in his subconscious was like falling into the abyss if he took a step forward, and he rejects all the thoughts that rise in his heart. He knelt on the ground in a daze, remembering that he had read Liang Jiu's suicide note in the Cliff Cave of King Mountain earlier, and felt that he was Duguhong's widow, and the pessimistic negativity, hysterical dissatisfaction and sadness that occurred at that time were not the same as the mood now! But what if his father was An Ruohai?

Thinking of this, Li Xuan only felt that the world was spinning. The world is chaotic, absurd and strange, but could there be anything stranger than this?

There was one more thing that did strike him strangely. A few days ago, he suddenly noticed that the turquoise gem that he had worn earlier on his chest to summon the Winged Peng Bird was missing. Maybe it was because he landed on the ice side of the water during the fierce fight with Yan Wuji! It is a pity that such a spiritual thing is lost. He pondered for a few days, but had no clue, so he had to give up. Thankfully, however, he was already familiar with the Winged Bird, and even without the Emerald Jewels, the two great birds of psychic humanity would still listen to his call. Thinking of the Flying Winged Peng Bird, Li Xuan couldn't help but smile slightly, these are really two playful birds! He had summoned them back before, and after the humans and birds frolicked, he let them play freely. Now, these two birds are so happy that they forget about it.

The night was dark, and the old temple village was dead and silent. Yao Zikong and the bamboo leaves were not there, only the occasional wandering and sighing wind passed through the wasteland and dense forest, stirring the sadness of the fallen leaves, blowing the already solidified layer of frost, and blowing the dark night tide with commotion and unease.

Li Xuan sat down cross-legged, slowly guided the internal breath, unconsciously entered the realm of selflessness, less than half an hour, the internal breath has been circulating in the body for nine weeks, he was pleased that his internal strength recovered very quickly, but he heard the voice of a hundred feet outside the house.

There were two people who came, and they walked very carefully, one after the other, and leaned lightly towards their own house.

Li Xuan listened attentively and couldn't help but laugh secretly: "These two people are really not very clever in light skills. Although the person in front of him is better, every time he raises his legs and takes a step, he is like the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, in addition to going his own way, his rhythm and speed are the north and south, heaven and earth. Do you have to do this kind of work at night?" he waved the sleeves of his robe lightly, extinguished the candles in the room with a crackling palm, and did not go down, still sitting cross-legged, holding his mind to see what the two who came wanted to do.

After a while, the two men outside the house came to the door and stopped. The man in front asked, "Do you really inquire clearly, is this room?" The man in the back was silent for a while, and then said categorically: "You can't be wrong." At noon today, at the Chaocaopo Hotel, Cao Guitou heard with his own ears that Kuwei Lao Tzu taught Huang Gandan and the throat gun sect leader Long Nanzhong to drink. ”

The man in front sighed and said, "The emperor lives up to his wishes! I really didn't expect that after so many days of searching, we finally found it." Then, close to the crack of the courtyard door, while looking, he said, "Let's go in directly, or be polite?"

The man behind heard the words and whispered: "You are the eldest brother, you can do whatever you want, how can we younger brothers make ideas for the eldest brother!" Although he was so, he clinged to the wall with both hands, stretched out his head with a strange hairstyle, and kept looking at the courtyard room.

Li Xuan listened to the two muttering, kept talking, felt funny, and said in his heart: "Anyway, if you have nothing to do, then tease these two thieves." "Pick up the steel needle that is placed on the head of the ** to pick up the wick, put it on the left palm, buckle the thumb and index finger of the right hand into a bow, through the window, aim at the head of the person on the wall, and bend his fingers to flick it. I only heard a loud 'whoosh' sound, and the steel needle flew straight away as if it had been shot out by a strong bow. The man on the wall was looking at it vigorously, and he never dreamed that someone in the room could shoot a steel needle through the crack in the window, and when he heard the wind, the steel needle had arrived, and he felt a wisp of sharp energy passing through, and then he was shocked, and he shouted, "Big brother is in danger......!" Fortunately, Lao Tzu hid in time, otherwise it would be difficult to keep his head. Hey, big brother, let's take a look, what kind of secret weapon is this, is it highly poisonous? ”

The man in front of him heard him screaming and reprimanded: "What are you shouting about! Do you want people hundreds of miles away to know that we are here!"

The man in the back stroked his head and gasped: "Big brother's reasonable, the secret weapon flew past my head, it was very accurate, if you want to take my life, it's a matter of effort." In addition to Engong, who else in the world can have such a powerful technique!"

The head of the man in front of him said in a loud voice: "Is Engong here?"

Li Xuan couldn't help but feel strange when he heard the two of them open and shut up the word 'Engong', and said in his heart: "The voices of these two people seem to be familiar, am I familiar with them?" ”

The person in front of him listened to Li Xuan's words and said happily: "Young Xia Engong, you are really here." Haha, you are a noble person who forgets things and doesn't remember our voice, but we haven't forgotten your voice. Young Xia Engong, I am one of the three monsters of Laoshan that you have pardoned your life. Hey, third, don't hurry up and report your name to Engong. The man behind him was also happy when he heard this: "Young Xia Engong, I am Tian Han among the three monsters of Laoshan Mountain! Well, don't you remember the incident of Taishan?"

The two of them were like this, Li Xuanden suddenly came over, laughed and said: "It turned out to be two brothers, who are still standing outside the door, let's go into the house and talk." Shan Tong was overjoyed, gently pushed open the courtyard door, and entered the house respectfully with Tian Han.

Li Xuan lit the candle, and when he saw that the two people who came in were indeed Shan Tong and Tian Han, he smiled and said, "What are the two of you doing here in the middle of the night?"

Shan Tong and Tian Han first held the greeting salute, and then said: "I heard that the young man Engong is here to rest, we didn't want to disturb in the dark, but now there is someone who wants to see you, so I volunteered to come to explore the way, if you disturb you, please forgive me first." ”

Li Xuan smiled and said, "Brother Shan is polite! Who wants to see me?"

Shan Tong blinked, hesitated for a moment before he said slowly: "Don't name it first, if you agree, I can invite him to come and meet you." When Li Xuan heard this, he smiled and said: "Everyone at home is a confidant." Well, your friend is my friend, and there is no such thing as a yes or no. Shan Tong was overjoyed and said: "Then you wait here for a while, and the two of us will come when we go." ”

Li Xuan saw Shan Tong and Tian Han leave in a hurry, and said secretly: "Who is so mysterious, who wants to come to see me, but wants them to come to inquire first?" Is it Bing'er, Li Shimin, and Hongshi Lao Dao...... He flipped through the people he knew in his heart, and felt that it was possible, but he felt that it was impossible. Just thinking wildly, I heard a sound of footsteps coming in a hurry outside the door.

Shan Tong and Tian Han opened the courtyard door with torches, and then eight strong men neatly carried a tightly covered sedan chair into the courtyard, the sedan chair fell, and the eight big men bowed down to the sides, and Shan Tong stepped forward to pick up the curtain with a heart.

Li Xuan saw a person slowly walking down from the sedan chair. This man is not tall, slightly chubby, his left arm hangs on his chest, and his right shoulder is wrapped in a blood-oozing bandage. The visitor looked at Li Xuan, his slender eyes contained all kinds of warmth, and the long eyebrows that were oblique into his sideburns shook a few times from time to time, I don't know if it was excitement or because of pain, but before he could speak, the stunned Li Xuan couldn't control himself, and he screamed sadly, prostrate on the ground, and shouted: "Daddy, are you really alive...... What's wrong with you, who hurt you like this?"

This person looked at Li Xuan, the corners of his eyebrows trembled even more, and he seemed to be unable to hold back any longer, and slowly shed two lines of hot tears.

Shan Tong saw it on the side, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Master Anzhuang, don't be sad, Li Shaoxia is in good health." He couldn't help but sigh: "Young Xia Engong, get up quickly." The man known as the owner of An Zhuang wiped away his tears and looked up to the sky and said: "I didn't expect that when I An Ruohai was about to rest, I would be able to see Xuan'er with my own eyes again!

An Ruohai coughed a few times, helped Li Xuan up, and motioned to the eight big men and Laoshan brothers on his side to wait outside the courtyard, and then said slowly: "Let's go into the house!" The two entered the house, and Li Xuan fell to the ground again. An Ruohai saw his sad expression, and also burst into tears, and said after a while: "Xuan'er, don't be sad, I don't have much time, if you have any questions, just ask." You must also remember what I say to you later. Li Xuan nodded suspiciously and stood up.

Li Xuan wiped away his tears, and when he was stunned, he only felt that there were thousands of questions surging in his heart, and for a while, he didn't know where to ask.

An Ruhai seemed to be able to understand Li Xuanzhi's thoughts, and sighed and said, "Xuan'er, it seems that we have a lot of words! After a pause, he didn't hesitate, directly from how Long Hongye ran away from the imperial court, founded the Mo Gang with Shangguan Xiaoxiong, and how he fell in love with Dugu Hong, until Long Hongye Yu Li Yuan, went on a killing spree in the inn, and when he killed the innkeeper, after seeing a pip child in the house, he suddenly felt compassion, abandoned the bloody blade, hurriedly took the child, and raised him as an adult.

When Li Xuan heard this, his face changed greatly, and he muttered for a long time before he asked: "It turns out that the 'person' in my mother's 'gave birth to a child for that person' is actually Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo...... Father, according to you, am I the child who was taken away by my mother in the inn? It turns out that I am neither the widowed son of Duguhong, nor the biological child of you and your mother, how can I mess up!"

An Ruohai sighed and said: "The affairs of the rivers and lakes, the grievances and grievances, are precisely the chaos of cutting and untidying, such as you and me, the ghosts who died in other places, the root cause of their dealings, is the chaos between you and me, and I have you." This world is like this, people are like this, and grievances are like this, and they will not change through the ages. Alas...... Good Xuan'er, don't resent your mother. At that time, she was drugged by the Ding brothers, not only lost her body, but when she woke up, her brain was still chaotic, so she killed many innocent people by mistake, and these innocent people include your parents. You don't blame her, you really don't blame her. ”

Li Xuan knew about these things about his father An Ruohai, some of them had been guessing in his heart for a long time, and some of them were hearing it for the first time. When he heard that Long Hongye had left the innkeeper's child, taken it away and raised it, he was stunned at first, and then like thunder. At this time, hearing An Ruohai like this, he sat down on the chair in a dejected manner, shook his head incessantly, and muttered: "I really can't blame my mother, of course I can't blame my mother, she didn't kill me after all, and raised me, but how can you make me believe it! It turns out that my life experience is like this...... Daddy, these words are true?"

An Ruohai raised his head and said gently: "Every sentence is true." ”

Li Xuan calmed down and slowly walked out of his sad mood, but for some reason, a strange thought suddenly flashed in his mind. On weekdays, he couldn't ask this thought anyway, but at this time, his dead father was not only standing in front of him alive, but also the owner of the Twelve Consecutive Money Bank. He couldn't suppress the strange thoughts that rose up, and asked, "Dad, do you still have secrets to hide from me?

Hearing this, An Ruohai's eyebrows trembled a few times, sighed heavily, and said painfully: "Yes." But you didn't remember it then. Actually, your mother was with me after she became pregnant. Only six months after we were together, your mother gave birth to a daughter who was carved in pink. Unfortunately, the child was later stolen. ”

Li Xuan was shocked: "Someone stole it?Who did it, did you find it?" A sentence came out, and he suddenly came to his senses. If he finds it, won't he have a sister with him? Since he grew up alone, his sister must be missing.

An Ruohai sighed: "We don't know who did it. However, that child was left behind by Li Yuan after insulting your mother, although she lost it later, your mother gritted her teeth and endured it and didn't look for it. So, to this day, your mother still regrets it. ”

Li Xuanqi said: "I didn't look for it...... That's how my sister was lost?"

An Ruohai smiled bitterly and said: "After losing it for ten days, your mother really can't bear it anymore and wants to find it, but when she opened the door in the morning, she found a beheaded flesh-and-blood girl's corpse outside the door, and the child was wearing exactly the same clothes as your stolen sister, alas, she has been killed." Your mother's liver and intestines were broken when she saw this, and since then she has become gloomy and indifferent. ”

Li Xuan was silent, lowered his head and thought about it, and couldn't help but see the cold appearance of his mother Long Hongye in front of him. He has always thought that his mother is gloomy by nature, but sometimes he thinks of the warmth and warmth occasionally revealed in his mother's expression when he looks at him, and he can't help but overturn the words 'gloomy by nature'. How can any parent in the world be gloomy and indifferent to his child! It wasn't until later that he practiced the secret of the treasure source, and he vaguely felt that the reason why his mother was indifferent and gloomy was related to this.

When he heard his father An Ruohai like this, he couldn't help but overturn all the previous speculations in his heart, and said secretly: "If my father says this, my mother should have made herself gloomy because she failed to save her weak sister in time and regretted it very much." Now that my mother is no longer alive, even if I want to find out, I can't ask for it. Alas, but what if the result could be found?"

An Ruohai looked at Li Xuan, who was silent, and sighed: "This incident has made me regret it for a long time. Thinking about me and doing things all my life, there are right and wrong, but this incident has become a big regret in my heart. I got at least three things right, though. (To be continued.) )
