In the bright house, everyone gathered. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Brother Li, fifteen years have passed in a blink of an eye, and we are all much older!"
Su Fanghao stroked his long white beard, looked at the man in black in front of him, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
At this time, the mask on the face of the man in black had been removed, revealing half of his face burned by the eyes of fire, looking hideous and terrifying. From the other side's face, the old man could vaguely see the resolute and strong Li Tan back then, and at the same time, the upright figure also appeared in his mind.
Li Tan looked down at his appearance in the tea, and said bitterly: "Yes, fifteen years, Li Tan has also died." ā
Su Fanghao sighed and said, "Brother Li, what happened back then? I originally sent someone to pick you up secretly, but I didn't expect it to be late, and I didn't hear from you until that day, I thought you had ...... You've been killed!"
"...... of the year"
Li Tan took a sip of tea, and recounted while recalling: "Yue Fan was framed back then, I originally planned to go to Cai's Mansion to find out, but I didn't expect to let me hear the secret that Zhu Kangjing wanted to rebel, and then I accidentally exposed Xingzang and was chased and killed by Zhu Kangjing's minions, I planned to die with them, but I didn't expect to meet an old man passing by at the last moment, and I happened to save me......
"The deceased?"
"Yes, he is Xuanyuan Bai, the current Xuanyuan Dazun, I had a relationship with him when I was young......"
At the moment, Li Tan told him all about the past that happened to him back then.
It turned out that when Li Tan was rescued, he was already seriously injured, and his whole body was broken, like a wasted person, if he hadn't been sent to Wenxin Cliff by Xuanyuan Bai to treat Wen Zongqing, I am afraid that he would have died a long time ago. Around this, he was also in great pain, not only had to endure the torture of illness every day, but also had no worries about Li Yuefan, but his injuries were too serious at that time, and he was not even able to move, so he could only stay there for a long time, which was more than four years.
Maybe it was providence, when Li Tan's injuries were all healed, he couldn't wait to leave the Asksy Cliff to find Li Yuefan's whereabouts, but unfortunately, as soon as he came out of the mountain, he heard the bad news of Li Yuefan's disappearance, which made him feel painful.
Although it was rumored in the rivers and lakes at that time that Li Yuefan was dead, Li Tan always believed that his child was still alive, so in order to wait for Li Yuefan to come back, he kept guarding the border pass and his beliefs until Li Yuefan really appeared ten years later. Of course, there are still many bad things in this, such as how to cultivate and how to live...... But there is no point in going into details.
A person, just for an uncertain thought, has been guarding the border for a whole decade, not to mention whether his behavior is right or wrong, but with this perseverance that is far beyond ordinary people, he is worthy of the admiration of others, and Li Tan is such a person.
Everyone sighed and sighed, they didn't expect so many things to happen to Li Tan.
......
After a while, Su Fanghao saw that the atmosphere was a little heavy, so he looked at the unconscious three people on the side, and changed the topic: "That big man must be Wang Chong......! There are also Long Jun and Ding Yi, the two little guys, who are even more amazing heroes, who have been guarding the border for ten years, but they are immeasurable merits!"
A smile of relief flashed in Li Tan's eyes, and he nodded secretly. Although Wang Chong is very muddy, he acts brightly and straightforwardly, and is a good man, while Long Jun and Ding Yi are Li Yuefan's apprentices, not only are they strong, but they also know the righteousness and festivals, which is indeed rare.
Su Fanghao set his eyes on Xiaoice again: "This girl must be the daughter of Yue Fan and Chenxiang's girl, such a spiritual little guy, just like his mother." ā
"His name is Xiaoice!"
Li Tan stroked the back of the little girl's head, her eyes were full of kindness, diluting the gloom in her heart.
"You...... Are you really Daddy's Daddy?"
Xiaoice didn't seem to resist, although the "daddy's daddy" in front of her looked very vicious, but it gave her a very warm feeling.
Yes, children's senses are usually very sensitive, and they don't distinguish between right and wrong by beauty and ugliness, just because their world is simple.
"Uhh
Su Fanghao choked, and then laughed loudly: "The little guy is right, he is Yue Fan's father, that is, your father's father...... You should call Grandpa, though. ā
"Xiaoice meets grandpa. ā
The little girl pretended to be an adult and made a big salute respectfully, which caused everyone to laugh.
"Good boy, good, good!"
Li Tan controlled his trembling hands and tried his best to calm his mood.
Seeing this, Su Fanghao smiled and said, "By the way, what about Li Yuefan, why didn't he come back with you?"
ā......ā
The originally relaxed atmosphere was asked casually by Su Fanghao, and it suddenly became heavy again.
"Grandpa, Brother Li, he ......"
Tie Nan was about to speak, but was interrupted by Li Tan first: "This Hidden Forest Conference is full of dangers, fortunately we can return safely thanks to Yue Fan's help, but Yue Fan is also not lightly injured, and now he is in retreat to recuperate." Moreover, Yue Fan is the protector of the Buddhist sect, and there are more important things to deal with after he leaves the customs, so it is inconvenient for him to go with us. ā
"Oh?"
Su Fanghao had no expression on his face, but his heart sank. After a pause, he glanced at Xiaoice and gave Miao Lanfeng next to him a look.
Miao Lanfeng nodded knowingly, and then turned to Xiaoice and said, "Xiaoice, grandpa, they talk about something, how about Aunt Miao take you to the village for a walk?"
The little girl was exquisite, how could she not see the clues, but she hesitated for a moment, and still followed Miao Lanfeng out of the house.
"What a sensible girl. ā
Su Fanghao praised it, and then looked at Li Tan and said in a deep voice: "Brother Li, what happened? If the words just now were changed, others might believe them, but the old man knows Yue Fan, he is very affectionate, how can he not come back with you, unless he ......?"
The voice was silent, and the old man really didn't want to continue.
Seeing the change in the other party's temperament, Li Tan shook his head dryly and said, "It is worthy of being the head of the previous generation of Shenji Pavilion, and I can't hide any thoughts from you." ā
The voice paused, Li Tan tried his best to control his emotions and said, "Yue Fan...... He...... He has already been killed. ā
"Peng!"
Su Fanghao's body trembled when he heard this, and the teacup in his hand was accidentally knocked over to the ground.
Seeing that the old man was emotional, Tie Qiang hurriedly held the old man's back and gently smoothed his breath.
"Little ...... Does Xiaoice know about this?"
Su Fanghao came back to his senses, looking extremely sad.
Li Tan endured his heartache and said, "Xiaoice'er doesn't know about this, and I don't plan to let him know...... I think Yue Fan also hopes that Xiaoice will grow up happily!"
Su Fanghao nodded unconsciously, obviously agreeing with the other party's approach. Xiaoice is still young now, and she has just recognized Yue Fan, which can be described as a deep relationship between flesh and blood, if she knows the news of her father's death at this time, I am afraid it will cause a bad blow to her and leave an indelible shadow.
"Uncle Li, don't be too pessimistic......"
Tie Nan persuaded: "Didn't Brother Tie say it, Brother Li was just swept up in the spatial turbulence, and it may not really be an accident, not to mention that the Xuanji seniors can't calculate Brother Li's life and death, since they can't be calculated, it means that Brother Li may still be alive!"
Speaking of the back, Tetsuo's voice gradually weakened, and it seemed that even he himself did not believe that such a miracle would happen.
Spatial turbulence, that is a completely unknown existence, once you step into it, there is no possibility of coming out, at least since ancient times, I have not heard of anyone alive to come out of the spatial turbulence, and Dazun can't.
Su Fanghao endured his sadness and said, "Yue Fan is cautious and never reckless, why was he caught up in that spatial turbulence?"
Li Tan was immersed in grief, or after the iron man entered the Heavenly Absolute Valley, so what happened was explained in detail.
ā...... In the end, the Hongmeng Hall collapsed, and several great masters and iron blood came out together. ā
After a pause, Tie Nan continued: "According to what Brother Tie said, in order to kill Zhu Kangjing and Zhao Qianjin, Brother Li fought with the Great Venerable of the Extreme Sword. Originally, Elder Li wanted to step forward to help, but just as everyone was fighting, Murong Aohan, who was the incarnation of the demon, suddenly attacked, and attacked from behind to kill Brother Li......
Hearing this, Su Fanghao wondered: "Then why did Murong Aohan suddenly attack? It stands to reason that he should sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, so that both sides will lose, and it is definitely not a wise move to make such a rash move." ā
Tie Nan nodded and said: "We think so too, but listening to Brother Tie, that Murong Aohan seems to be very afraid of Brother Li, and he screams about the son of the world, saying that Brother Li will bring catastrophe in the world, and wants to join forces with several great masters to kill Brother Li." ā
"Fart!"
Su Fanghao was furious, but when he saw Li Tan's strange expression, he knew that things might not be as simple as he thought, and then he sat down again and said: "What son of the world, what catastrophe in the world, all of them are bullshit! ā
Tie Nan didn't refute and continued: "The two sides fought very fiercely, and as a result, the prohibition in the Hongmeng Hall was triggered, and as a result, Brother Li and Murong Aohan were accidentally swept into the spatial turbulence. ā
After the story was told, Su Fanghao's brows furrowed: "I'm afraid this matter is a bit strange, everyone else is fine, why was Yue Fan and that Murong Aohan involved......?"
"No, it won't!"
Tie Nan was stunned for a moment, and said repeatedly: "Grandpa, Brother Tie and Brother Li are friends of life and death, Brother Li is willing to give up his life for the sake of the other party, and Iron Blood will definitely not frame Brother Li." ā
Su Fanghao's face was calm and said: "The old man is also willing to believe that Yue Fan's vision will not be bad, and the old man understands the iron and blood, this person is indeed a person who values love and righteousness, but there are no absolutes in the world, and who can say some things accurately? After all, there are only a few of them who came out of the Hongmeng Palace, and what happened inside is not clear to anyone except them." ā
"But ......"
Tie Nan wanted to do something more, Su Fanghao waved his hand tiredly and said, "Okay, you guys go out first, I haven't seen Brother Li for many years, and I want to have a good chat with him." ā
"Yes, Grandpa. ā
Tie Nan walked out of the house with Situ Yanli in frustration.
On the side, Tie Qiang told the old man a few words to pay attention to his body, and also left.
