Chapter 19: Uncovering Identity

Ah Yue turned around suddenly, but saw the dark night coming step by step. Shen Yi and Wu San also turned around slowly, with their skills, they had already heard that there was someone behind them, but they didn't break it.

"Brother, when did you come back?" Ah Yue was surprised to see the dark night, and asked again, "Do you know the true identity of Shopkeeper Wu?"

"He?" Dark Night's face was gloomy, and he kept sneering, and said: "He is a traitor to our Moonlight Clan, twenty years ago, for the sake of fame and fortune, he tried in vain to betray our Moonlight Clan to the Great Song Mansion. ”

Ah Yue immediately turned her head to look at Wu San, then at the dark night, and asked, "The traitor of the Moonlight Clan? How do you know? If he betrayed the Moonlight Clan, then why is he still staying here incognito?"

Dark Night said: "I also didn't know it for a long time, so I'm in a hurry to come back and inform you." In fact, I have suspected him for a long time, but I have never been able to find evidence. This time I finally found strong evidence, which shows that the emperor lived up to his painstaking efforts, no matter how deeply he hid it, he still revealed his flaws in the end. He is none other than the former high priest Hurricane, who rebelled against the clan after a great accident many years ago, and that Liuhuai is his son. Their father and son disguised themselves and lived in seclusion here for many years, hiding from many people, but they still didn't give up, intending to be unfavorable to my Moonlight Clan. ”

Ah Yue suddenly, no wonder Wu San's technique of contemplating the sky was so exquisite, even higher than her, it turned out that he was the former high priest of the Moonlight Clan, but ...... She still had a mystery in her heart, but she didn't want to say it, and thought to herself, "But why does he have six fingers on his left hand?"

Dark Night continued: "If it weren't for the night of the assassination, he showed his martial arts in order to save you, and no one would have exposed his true identity. ”

Shen Yi's eyes were like electricity, looking at the face of the dark night, and said, "Shen still has some questions, please explain to the patriarch." That night, the Xixia killer secretly attacked, and I thought that the patriarch was also poisoned, but he did not recuperate and heal his wounds, why did he leave overnight? I don't know where the patriarch went? The patriarch kept saying that someone saw through the identity of the shopkeeper Wu when he saw his move, and he thought that this person must have been at the scene that night, but he didn't know who this clear-eyed man was? What evidence did the patriarch collect to confirm that the shopkeeper Wu was an old man of the Moonlight Clan, or even a traitor?

Darkly stared at Shen Yi with hatred in his eyes, and said coldly: "I have my own way, why should I tell you?"

Ah Yue hurriedly said: "Brother, Brother Shen is fair and selfless, and he is in charge of official business, his question is also my question, please explain it clearly." ”

Dark Night shouted angrily: "Little sister, don't forget your identity, don't help the eldest brother, but stand on the side of outsiders to speak." With a choking sound, he pulled out the scimitar he wore at his waist and shouted at Wu San: "Hurricane, as the patriarch today, I will eradicate you, a traitor, for the Moonlight Clan." ”

Ah Yue stepped forward to stop and persuaded: "Brother, if you have something to say, you can't be reckless and hurt people." ”

The dark night pushed Ah Yue away hard, waved the scimitar, and slashed at Wu San's head.

Shen Yi took a step forward, the Xiaolong in his hand was not unsheathed, and he raised his hand slightly, and he had already blocked his scimitar, and said, "Patriarch, there are still many unclear points in this matter, which need to be further thoroughly investigated. As he spoke, he glanced back at Wu San, wondering why he was like a clay wooden fetus, without resistance, as if he was willing to die.

Dark Night was furious, and shouted: "This is my Moonlight Clan's business, you can't take care of it." ”

Shen Yi said in a deep voice: "The affairs of the world are Shen Yi's affairs, with me here, you will never be allowed to lynch indiscriminately." ”

Knowing that martial arts were too far from Shen Yi in the dark night, Ah Yue didn't help, so she had to withdraw her scimitar, glared at Shen Yi fiercely, and then at Wu San, turned around and jumped off the city wall. Ah Yue couldn't call out, so she could only watch him leave with hatred.

When the figure of the dark night was no longer visible, Ah Yue turned her head to look at Wu San and asked, "Are you really the High Priestess of the Wind?"

Even when she was young, the wind had already rebelled. Since then, all the clansmen have kept a secret about the wind and its affairs, and never mentioned it.

When she was practicing the art of observing the heavens handed down by the clan, Ah Yue had read many notes and experiences that had been compiled and recorded by the wind, and knew that he was a very clever person, so why would he suddenly rebel against the clan? She once accidentally turned out a portrait of the high priest Hurricane in the family's hide, and the man in the painting was still very young, with handsome facial features, and there was no resemblance to the bloated and mediocre shopkeeper Wu in front of him, and he must have deliberately changed his appearance in order to hide his identity. Only when he took off the disguise of the shopkeeper Wu did he reveal a little bit of his demeanor from his sharp eyes.

She still remembers that in the notes left by the wind, there were several ink drawings of small scenes in the south of the Yangtze River. The drawings are well preserved, which shows that the collectors cherish them. The wind carefully collected these small pictures of the south of the Yangtze River, and Ah Yue has always wondered what the intention is. The Moonlight Clan has been passed down in the desert for three generations, although the ancestors moved from the land south of the Yangtze River in the Central Plains, and some people tried to return to their hometowns in the early years, but in her generation of Ah Yue, the clan has long regarded the desert wasteland as the only hometown, and no one mentions the hometown of Jiangnan anymore.

Wu San listened to Ah Yue's question, the corners of his mouth twitched, and after a while, he looked up to the sky and sighed, and said, "I'm ashamed, I was originally called Hurricane." He said that he was originally a blast, which means that he is no longer the same? Does he really want to forget everything, and just want to be an innkeeper? If he can really be content with the plain, why should he come forward so often and finally reveal his identity?

Ah Yue has a lot of things to say in her heart, but she doesn't know where to start. Shen Yi also had a lot to ask, but he was worried and it was inconvenient to ask.

The three of them were silent, standing on the city wall, looking at the rising sun and the light shining all over the desert yellow sand.

It's been a long time. Wu Sancai said: "The sky is changing, and there will be a catastrophe, so it's better to inform the townspeople as early as possible to prepare." ”

Ah Yue had fully trusted his Heaven Observation Technique at this time, and said, "I also ask the High Priest of the Wind to help arrange it." ”

Wu San looked at her and smiled lovingly: "Don't worry, I will definitely try my best to help you." He turned his head to look at Shen Yi meaningfully, and said: "Many people have already died, and we can't shed any more blood, I hope all grievances can be settled soon." ”

Wu San really did what he said, and followed Ah Yue all day long, guiding the Moonlight Clan to help Qiongta Town defend against sandstorms.

When the townspeople of Qiongta Town heard that there was going to be a bigger sandstorm coming, they were immediately frightened, but seeing that the Moonlight Clan was not afraid of difficulties, and still tried their best to help, they were a little relieved, and they all said that the Moonlight Clan was a living immortal sent by God to help Qiongta Town, and their respect and worship were even more than before.

Following Wu San's arrangement, Ah Yue also became more and more respectful of him, knowing that his sky-contemplation technique was indeed much stronger than his own, so he humbly asked for advice and carefully inquired about the previous unknowns. At the same time, she was even more strange in her heart, seeing that Wu San's deep affection for the Moonlight Clan, she couldn't wait to pass on all the skills of her body to her immediately, she didn't look like a traitor at all, why would the clansmen condemn him for treason?

Shen Yi sat quietly at the table as before, drinking slowly while watching the people of Wu San and the Moonlight Clan go in and out. He was relaxed on the surface, but he was always on guard in his heart, although he believed that Wu San would give him an explanation, but he still had to prevent a change.

Ou Jingtian and Gong Qianshan took Li Xiaoli to sit at another table, and they were also in a bad mood. They had been trapped in the town of Jonta for a long time, but they still hadn't found the slightest sign of the murderer.

When Liu Qingyun heard that there was an even bigger sandstorm coming, he slapped his hand on the door of his head and exclaimed, "God, where is this place where people live? Why don't these people simply leave here and find another place to live?"

Hua Susu said: "What do you know? This is the meaning of hometown, no matter how sinister, there is something to be missed. ”

Liu Qingyun shook his head and said, "I naturally know the meaning of my hometown, but ...... The countryside here is poor and remote, the soil is not good, and there is no good sky, which is really not worth nostalgia. ”

"Although the soil is not good soil, and the sky is not a good sky, this is the land where our Moonlight Clan takes root and grows, and it seems to you that it is almost useless, but in our eyes it is a lovely place to live. What is surprising is that the person who speaks is the dark night that has been sitting silently in the corner and drinking.

Liu Qingyun stared at the dark night for a long time, as if he had seen this person for the first time, and then turned around and whispered to Hua Susu: "Look, even the wooden man has spoken, which is a very rare thing. He turned back again, stared at the night, and said, "So, you have a deep affection for this desert and will never be able to leave?"

The dark night seemed to be ruthless with people, and said vigorously: "It's not bad at all, this is my hometown." As if he wanted to prove something, he suddenly blushed with excitement and said loudly: "We Moonlight Clan was born and grew up here, here are our brothers and sisters, and there are ......" He paused, his eyes swelled with tenderness, he lowered his voice, and then said: "There are still our lovers here, and there will be our warm home...... Although the scenery here is not as gentle and pleasant as Jiangnan, although the girls here are not as beautiful as Jiangnan women, they are the same affectionate and gentle, why can't we be nostalgic and love?"

Liu Qingyun originally had the intention of arguing, but now he was moved by the enthusiasm revealed in the dark night's words, and he was speechless for a while, and suddenly asked again: "Listening to the meaning of the patriarch's words, there is a local girl you like." ”

Dark Night blushed, but ignored him.

Liu Qingyun winked at Hua Susu proudly, and said to the dark night: "I didn't expect the patriarch brother to be cold-faced, but he is also an amorous seed. I don't know which girl you like? Is it a girl from Jonta?"

Knowing that he had missed his mouth in the dark night, he simply lowered his head, closed his mouth, and didn't say a word.

Ah Yue and Wu San walked in the door at some point, and they seemed to have been standing for a long time. Ah Yue suddenly said: "The girl that the eldest brother likes is a good girl, but she doesn't live in Qiongta Town. ”

Liu Qingyun asked, "Where do you live?"

Ah Yue said: "I live in Western Xia on the other side of the desert. ”

Dark Night shouted angrily: "Little sister, shut up. ”

Everyone looked at their brother and sister, stunned for a moment, and they were all turning the same thought in their hearts: It turned out that the lover of this dark night was a Xixia person, and then they couldn't help but wonder: Who did the Xixia killers secretly attack that night, who cast the secret poison of the Xixia court in the wine in advance? Who attracted those Xixia killers?

Wu San said slowly: "It doesn't matter where the person you like lives, the important thing is that a person must understand where his roots are. ”

Staring at him in the dark night, with anger in his eyes, he said, "Where do you think your hometown is?"

Wu San didn't shy away at all this time, and stared at him with wide eyes, and said, "It's Jiangnan." Not only my hometown is in Jiangnan, but the hometown of the Moonlight Clan is also in Jiangnan, and we will definitely return to our hometown and rebuild our homeland. ”

Dark Night slapped the table hard, stood up, and shouted loudly: "Nonsense! You traitor, only you madman will always want to return to Jiangnan." That Jiangnan is just an illusory place in your heart, and it is your so-called hometown. And here, the desert where we are standing, is our true home. ”

Wu San shook his head sadly and said, "We have been out for too long, so long that you have mistaken a foreign land for your hometown. No matter what you say, it cannot change the determination and last wish of our ancestors to return to their homeland. I will definitely bring the Moonlight Clan back to Jiangnan. ”

Li Xiaoli, who was sitting next to Gong Qianshan, was eating dim sum, and when he heard the fierce argument with Wu San in the dark night, he was scared, and he didn't eat dim sum, leaning close to Gong Qianshan's side, blinking a pair of big eyes, looking at this person and that person, I don't understand how these adults can be tense and not give in to each other for a small hometown problem. When he heard Wu San mention Jiangnan several times, he suddenly widened his eyes, stretched out his hand, pointed at Wu San tremblingly, and shouted: "It's him, it's him, I recognize his voice." That night, when the murderer killed his father, he also said that in order to return to Jiangnan, he could only be sorry for his father. Every time the murderer talked about Jiangnan, his tongue curled very strongly, exactly like what the shopkeeper Wu just said. ”
