Chapter 2: Descending the Mountain (part 2 of 4)
Just when the two of them were surprised, the young man had obviously seen the two of them as well. The originally somewhat indifferent expression revealed a vigilance, staring straight at them, and the sharp eyes were actually looking at Xu Cen and Liu Susu, who felt a slight chill in their hearts.
The atmosphere became a little tense for a while.
And at this moment, Zuo Song in the bamboo building spoke again, which broke the tense atmosphere, "Crazy boy, they are from Ning Xufeng. The man obviously knew what Ning Xufeng meant, and the hostility immediately dissipated, but he only nodded lightly at the two of them, and walked into the hospital without saying a word, still indifferent. This made Xu Cen and Liu Susu a little embarrassed, and when they didn't know why, they heard Zuo Song in the bamboo building say again, "Don't be surprised by the two of you, this kid has been this stinky temper since he was a child." ”
Xu Cen could only smile wryly, hesitated for a while, seemed to have made up his mind, and said awkwardly, "Xu Cen in Xia Ning Xufeng, I've seen ...... I've seen Uncle Xiao. ”
is obviously younger than himself, but he wants to call someone uncle, which makes Xu Cen, who has always been very thoughtful about etiquette, feel a little uncomfortable. But in the end, Xu Cen still shouted out, and pulled Liu Susu to introduce, "This is my junior sister, named Liu Susu." As he spoke, he glanced at Liu Susu.
Liu Susu found it even more difficult to speak, but before she came, Liu Yi had explained, and she had to listen to Xu Cen's arrangement for everything, so she could only bow her hand with a red face, "Su Su has seen Uncle Xiao." ”
Liu Susu turned her head after shouting, but after shouting for the first time, Xu Cen let go, and asked with a smile at the moment, "Haven't you asked Uncle Junior for his name?"
The man's expression was indifferent, but he was not an unsympathetic person, although he felt very strange about the appearance and title of the two, but the two of them saluted him, and he knew how to return the salute. Putting down the prey in his hand, he lightly arched his hand as a return gift, and replied in a deep voice, "Xiao Suifeng." ”
It turned out that the hunchbacked old man who appeared in the Xiao family in Tiaogu twelve years ago was Zuo Song in the bamboo building at this moment, and the young man in front of him was Xiao Suifeng, a young child who was saved by Zuo Song.
When the Xiao family destroyed the door, it happened that Zuo Song went out to travel and stayed overnight in Tiaogu City, so he saved Xiao Suifeng's life, and Xiao Suifeng followed Zuo Song and worshiped under his door.
Zuo Song has never had an apprentice, and he only accepted Xiao Suifeng, a disciple, when he was over seventy, and naturally taught it carefully. As for Xiao Suifeng, he never forgot the blood feud on his body, and he practiced martial arts and swordsmanship like a demon, so much so that Zuo Song directly called him a crazy boy.
The master and apprentice have rarely walked around the world in the past twelve years, and only stayed on Luo Qingfeng. In the past twelve years, Xiao Suifeng has only gone down the mountain six or seven times in total, and the hunters and woodcutters in the mountains are rare, and they have never seen anyone come up the mountain, so it is naturally strange for Xu Cen and the two to arrive.
Just when Xiao Suifeng was thinking silently, Zuo Song in the bamboo building spoke again, "Crazy boy, Ning Xufeng's Yanhui kid is seventy years old, I won't go to the old man, you can go for the old man, how can you say that he is also your uncle." Xiao Suifeng glanced at Xu Cen and Liu Susu, lowered his head and did not speak, Zuo Song paused, and sighed, "It's been twelve years in the blink of an eye, you have learned everything you should learn, and you can't learn anything by following the old man, it's time for you to go out for a walk." ”
Xiao Suifeng still lowered his head and was silent for a while, before Fang Cai said in a deep voice, "If I leave, what will you do." ”
Zuo Song in the bamboo building couldn't help but be furious, "The old man is just hunched back, and he has never lacked arms and legs, can he still starve to death?" Hmph, doesn't the old man live well without you, and no one has robbed Lao Tzu of wine yet!"
Xu Cen and Liu Susu sweated on their foreheads when they heard this, and they didn't dare to breathe. Xiao Suifeng just shook his head slightly, didn't argue, and was silent for a while and said, "Then when will you go." ”
Xu Cen hurriedly answered, "Master Tai's birthday is the sixth day of the sixth month of June, and the two peaks are not far apart, so Uncle Tai can go over before this." ”
Before Xiao Suifeng could speak, Zuo Song in the building had already shouted angrily, "What are you waiting for June 6th, I'll go right away, my old man is upset to see it." ”
It's only mid-May now, and there's still more than half a month, what's the use of going so early? Xu Cen wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, but he didn't dare to say it in his heart, he just looked at Xiao Suifeng and laughed, "Little uncle, this ......"
Xiao Suifeng's face still didn't change at all, he only glanced at the bamboo building, and said calmly, "Wait for me for a while, I'll go and pack up my things." With that, he also walked straight to the thatched hut by the bamboo building, and really didn't pay attention to Zuo Song in the building.
Xu Cen and Liu Susu glanced at each other, and both of them couldn't help but smile bitterly. The two of them have come over until now, although they have not seen the true face of Zuo Song's ancestor, and they have not even been given the door to enter or even sit, but they have seen the strangeness between this pair of masters and apprentices, and they have not lived up to this trip.
Just as the two of them were muttering in their hearts, but after a while, Xiao Suifeng walked out of the hut. He has no long things, except for two shabby clothes clothes, Xiao Suifeng really has nothing to clean up.
Xu Cen and Liu Susu were stunned by Xiao Suifeng's speed, but Xiao Suifeng turned a blind eye to the two of them, walked straight to the bamboo building and stood still, was silent for a while, and said, "There are still three altars of bamboo leaf green and three altars of Tianmendong hidden under the disciple's bed, and the temperament is fierce, old man, you are not in good health, just drink slowly." ”
Xu Cen and Liu Susu were stunned when they heard this, and there was silence in the bamboo building, and Zuo Song's voice came out faintly, "Lao Tzu doesn't need you crazy boy to teach you to drink." ”
Xiao Suifeng didn't get angry, just knelt down towards the bamboo building, kowtowed three times, and then got up, "The disciple is leaving, old man, take care." While speaking, Xiao Suifeng took a deep look at the bamboo building, then looked at Xu Cen and the others, and said, "Let's go." ”
Xu Cen and Liu Susu couldn't react a little, but when they saw that Xiao Suifeng really turned around and left after speaking, they seemed to have no hesitation or remembrance, and they could only bow down to the bamboo building to say goodbye at the moment, "In this case, the disciples and others will no longer bother the master and take their leave." ”
Zuo Song didn't answer in the bamboo building, Xu Cen and Liu Susu glanced at each other, and they also had some understanding of the strange temperament of Zuo Song's patriarch, so they couldn't help but smile bitterly, so they could only leave. The three of them walked out of the small courtyard, and only after half a ring did they hear Zuo Song's voice behind them, "Crazy boy, come back when you are angry outside, just don't forget to bring a few more jars of good wine to the old man." ”
Xiao followed the wind's footsteps for a moment, and finally showed a slight smile on his face that had been indifferent.
......
Although there was still half a month before Yu Yanhui's birthday, Ning Xufeng prepared early.
This time, Yu Yanhui's seventieth birthday, under the deliberate promotion of the Cloud Piercing Sword Sect, has become a rare event for the righteous path, and even the current leader of the righteous path, Yang Xu, the palace master Qingxu, has clearly stated that he wants to come in person, and the rest of the righteous people naturally flock to it. The righteous path gathered, such a grand occasion, the Cloud Piercing Sword Sect naturally did not dare to slack off, the palace houses and other buildings were renovated early, and all preparations were carried out early, just waiting for the auspicious day to come.
Just when the disciples of the Cloud Piercing Sword Sect were busy, Xiao Suifeng, who had not set foot in Ning Xufeng for twelve years, also followed Xu Cen and Liu Susu to Ning Xufeng.
Liu Susu was a little hesitant to call Xiao Suifeng his little uncle at first, but after shouting a few times, he got used to it, but he became interested in Xiao Suifeng, and kept asking this and that. It's a pity that Xiao Suifeng is indifferent, and he mostly nodded and shook his head at Liu Susu's questions, and he didn't say a few words all the way, which made Liu Susu very depressed but helpless.
Liu Susu is the pearl of Liu Yi, the head of the Cloud Piercing Sword Sect, and the deep favor of the Supreme Elder Yu Yanhui, who is naturally used to being spoiled by everyone in the Cloud Piercing Sword Sect. But Liu Susu's nature is not bad, and occasionally he will naughtily tease his brothers and sisters, but more often than not, he is very polite.
If those brothers who were familiar with her ignored themselves like this, Liu Susu might have played a trick a long time ago, but in the face of this guy who was obviously not a few years older than herself, but she wanted to call her uncle, Liu Susu had no choice but to get angry, and along the way, Xu Cen was gloating.
As soon as he arrived at Ning Xufeng, Liu Susu snorted, glared at Xiao Suifeng and took the lead to leave, while Xu Cen kept greeting the people of the Cloud Piercing Sword Sect, and brought Xiao Suifeng all the way to Ning Xufeng's Hall of Elders.
At this moment, Yu Yanhui, Liu Yi, and some of the core disciples of the Cloud Piercing Sword Sect were all in the Hall of Elders, as if they were discussing something, and when they saw Xu Cen walking in with Xiao Suifeng, they all looked over.
Xu Cen glanced at it quietly, and saw that Liu Susu was talking something in Yu Yanhui's ear, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and after respectfully saluting the elders, he was about to return the salute, but Yu Yanhui had already spoken, "You are Senior Brother Zuo's disciple?"
