This morning, Zhao Er was also very happy when he saw Kong Rui coming back, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Kong's trip is quite smooth, right?"

"Thank you for your concern, the second brother has come and gone smoothly. It's just that I saw those scheming people on the road I don't know why they haven't withdrawn to the station, has this kind of thing happened before?" Kong Rui nodded.

"It's a little weird this time. In the past, if it was not advantageous for the people to attack the mining valley, they basically withdrew to their garrisons, and never said that they stayed near this mountainous area for a long time. Zhao Er naturally knew that the soldiers and horses had not retreated, so he also nodded.

"The second brother still has to be more vigilant to prevent the scheming people from having other conspiracies. ”

"What my brother said is very true, I have carefully discussed it with Liqing, and we must take strict precautions. ”

"Second Brother Zhao, I came this time to replace the energy spar on the forbidden disk and have to leave, so the second brother must take care of himself in the future. ”

"Why did Brother Kong leave so quickly?" Zhao Er was taken aback and hurriedly asked.

"I have some other important things to do, so I have to leave in the next two days. Kong Rui knew that it would be difficult to explain to him about his exile, so he said casually.

Zhao Er knew that he couldn't keep him, but he still said: "I have already asked several people who lived in Brother Kong's original courtyard to move out, vacated the yard, and planned to leave it for Brother Kong to live, but I didn't expect you to leave again so soon." ”

It turned out that when Zhao Er saw Kong Rui coming back, he had already planned to give the courtyard to Kong Rui, but the situation was tense at the time, and he couldn't take care of these trivial things, so he had to let Kong Rui live in his own house first, and only after repelling the sinister people did he find the time and vacate the courtyard for Kong Rui to keep, but he didn't expect him to leave again as soon as he came.

Kong Rui was very moved in his heart, and hurriedly said to Zhao Er: "Thank you second brother for bothering, it's just that the little brother is too urgent to stay here, and I ask the second brother to forgive me." ”

"My brother is polite, but since he is back, he will stay there for one night first, and he will talk about it tomorrow. ”

Kong Rui's heart moved, and he also wanted to go back to the place where he once lived, so he agreed immediately.

Because the soldiers and horses did not retreat this time, everyone in the mine valley did not know what medicine was sold in the gourd, and they were still a little nervous. Zhao Er also had to go to the council hall to discuss the next plan with the rest of the people, and Kong Rui, accompanied by Zhao Xiuying, replaced the energy crystals in the two forbidden disks with new ones, and also replaced his scorpion puppet with the original crystal.

When he walked to the side of the mine, Kong Rui couldn't help but think of the fact that Su Qingyun built a dam here and diverted water to destroy the mine, and his parents also died tragically not far away, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart;

Kong Rui stood there in a daze, watching and thinking for a while, he couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts, and before he knew it, it was over, but Zhao Xiuying had been following him silently, Kong Rui didn't speak, and she didn't take the initiative to talk to him. It wasn't until it got dark that the two walked back to the courtyard where Kong Rui used to live. Zhao Xiuying saw Kong Rui walking into the courtyard, so she walked back alone.

Kong Rui looked in the courtyard, although many things had changed a lot, he still touched the scene, went to every room to take a look, and couldn't help but think of those years in the courtyard. His father's strictness, his mother's kindness, Lin Wen's cunning, and Su Qingyun's righteousness all floated into Kong Rui's heart, and Kong Rui unconsciously fell into deep thought, sitting there, thinking about his thoughts in a daze.

Suddenly, Kong Rui saw a woman standing in front of him, although he couldn't see her face clearly, Kong Rui obviously felt that this person was his mother, and he seemed to be back to his childhood, desperately trying to run forward and want to hug his mother.

But I don't know what's going on, the distance between Kong Rui and his mother always seems to be the same, and he always can't run over, so he can't help crying in a hurry, only to hear his mother say: "Rui'er is good, don't cry." The voice was extremely gentle, where could Kong Rui hear it?

The mother said again: "Rui'er is a man, don't shed any more tears." The voice was no longer so gentle, faintly revealing some sternness; Kong Rui was stunned for a moment, holding back his crying, but he couldn't stop sobbing; his mother said again: "Rui'er, my mother doesn't want to see you shed tears on these things, and now there are many sad things, where are there so many tears?"

Kong Rui wiped his tears and said, "Mother, I don't cry." ”

His mother seemed to be much closer to him, looked at him with gentle eyes, and said to him: "Rui'er, remember that you are from the Great Yan Country, remember your mother's words." ”

Kong Rui nodded, and wanted to step forward and reach out to hold his mother, but suddenly a black mist rolled in, and swept his mother away, Kong Rui was shocked and scared, and only heard his mother's words from afar: "Remember my mother's words......" will never be seen again, Kong Rui desperately chased and shouted loudly, but he woke up suddenly, it turned out to be a dream.

Wiping the cold sweat from his head, Kong Rui thought carefully about what his mother said to him in his dream. What his mother said was very simple, asking him not to shed tears easily, and also letting him remember that he was from the Great Yan Country, and also asking him to remember his mother's words, he suddenly thought of what his mother said to him when she handed over his and Su Yun's hands to Lin Wen, and asked him to take good care of Sister Yun.

Thinking of Su Yun, Kong Rui felt a little relieved in his heart, but when he thought that although he came back to pay tribute to his parents' graves, he didn't guard the tombs for them, so he immediately decided to simply stay for seven more days, and leave after guarding the tombs of his parents for seven days, and he has been careful that he has not exposed his whereabouts, so he should not cause trouble to Zhao Er and them.

As soon as Zhao Eryi heard Kong Rui say that he would guard the tomb of his parents for seven days, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly arranged for someone to build a grass house next to the tomb of Kong Blacksmith and his wife, just waiting for Kong Rui to go; Kong Rui thanked the two brothers and sisters of Zhao and moved into the grass house to live there on the same day.

For five days in a row, Kong Rui sat in the grass house, but he could not practice, he could only meditate and pranayama. The second brother and sister Zhao have been here a few times, but they just chatted casually and went back.

On the sixth day, Kong Rui suddenly remembered that he had learned some skills in the sect, and he should also show them to his father and Lin Wen, which was also their wish at that time; ”

"Of course there's no problem with this, I'm going to close them. Zhao Xiuying felt that the time was very short, and she didn't think so.

"Miss Zhao is slow, after closing the forbidden disk, please ask Miss Zhao to stay there, in case there is a demon cultivator who is sinister to attack, we will have time to open it. Kong Rui hurriedly admonished her.

Zhao Xiuying nodded and said solemnly: "Brother Kong, don't worry, I understand this." With that, he got up and took his leave, and went to close the two forbidden disks.

Kong Rui noticed that the forbidden disk had been closed, so he hurriedly took out his six puppet balls and placed them in front of his parents' tombs, and knelt there and said to his parents: "Father, mother, the child has learned some skills over the years, I will show you a demonstration." After finishing speaking, he immediately got up, and said to the tombs of Su Qingyun and Lin Wen: "Please also ask Uncle Su and Uncle Lin to see how your nephew's learning is doing." ”

Soon, Kong Rui released three fifth-order puppets, using a multi-purpose technique to control these puppets through psychics, plus his own martial arts, and practiced them together in front of his parents' graves.

That is, half a cup of tea, Kong Rui suddenly felt that someone was coming, so he quickly stopped, looked back, and saw Zhao Er hurrying over this side.

Zhao Er saw that there were actually three hideous puppets beside Kong Rui, and he didn't dare to step forward, so he shouted from afar: "Brother Kong, stay." ”

Seeing Zhao Er like this, Kong Rui put away the puppet and said to Zhao Er: "What is the matter with Second Brother Zhao here?"

"Brother Kong, just now I received a report that another demon cultivator was coming to commit another crime, but only then did I report that it seems that another demon cultivator came with him. I've heard from my brother that all the energy crystals in this forbidden disk have been replaced with brand new ones, but I don't know why they still sent these demon cultivators. Zhao Er saw that Kong Rui had already put away the puppet, so he stepped forward.
