Chapter Ninety-Seven: Qu Meng
Let's say that Huangfu Jinxiu said what she knew about Huangfu Jinxiu's mother, and the three of them fell silent at the moment.
After a long time, Huangfu Jinxiu spoke. "So, my mother may not be dead. She may have something unspeakable, so she left first. ”
"Possibly! I don't think your mother's identity is simple. The fact that you can see your mother's face in this beautiful city shows that this beautiful city must have a great relationship with your mother! I think it is necessary for us to stay in this city for a while and check it out. Yan Huan said.
"Well, I also think that we should check it out here, since the mother of the Huangfu girl is the beauty of this beauty city, then there must be more legends about this beauty in this city, maybe we can find some clues here!" Jiang Yinian also said.
Huangfu Jinxiu thought for a while, nodded blankly, and said, "Okay, let's check here." ”
At that moment, the three of them agreed to start the investigation tomorrow, and then they dispersed, and there was no word for the night.
Let's say that the three of them got up early in the morning and decided to officially start the investigation. The three of them first found some old local residents and inquired about the legend of this beauty.
An old man surnamed Mei said: "This beautiful city was built about 10,000 years ago, and legend has it that a woman came here and decided to build a city here when she saw the beautiful scenery here. It is said that the woman was alone and it took her fifty years to complete the construction of the castle. Later, the woman became the first lord of this beautiful city. Later, the woman left, and the position of city lord was given to his apprentice, and the current city lord is the son of the woman's apprentice. ”
The three of them thanked the old man, and it was getting late, so they went back to the inn to sort out the results of the day's investigation.
"Through investigation, it can be determined that this beautiful city was indeed built by a woman, and it was 10,000 years ago. In this way, this woman must be a great supernatural being! And 10,000 years ago, it should have been the Middle Ages!" Yan Huan said.
"Yes, it's the end of the Middle Ages. Jiang Yinian continued.
The old man surnamed Na Mei said that the woman was the first lord of the city, and then left. It seems that this woman's identity is not simple, and she probably built this city just to enjoy the scenery, and she saw the right eye for a while. Jiang Yinian said again.
"I think we should go and meet the city lord, he must know a lot of rumors!" Yan Huan nodded, raised his brows and said.
"Ridiculous! Do you think that the city lord is what you want to see? You have to give people a reason! You can't say, hello city lord, we are here to investigate the beauty of the beauty city, because she is my mother, so I have to know something, do you think people will believe it?" Huangfu Jinxiu mocked.
"What else should I do? Do you want to give up?" Yan Huan said helplessly.
At this time, Jiang Yinian spoke. "I think we can meet the city lord, this city lord, I know. ”
"How do you know?" said Huangfu Jinxiu in surprise.
"Oh, actually, my father, he knows. The last time he came here to look for him, I came with me. The city lord was a very kind middle-aged man, and when he saw that I liked it very much, he gave me a jade plaque, saying that in the future, I could use this jade plaque to find him. I didn't want to take it, but the uncle was so enthusiastic that my father asked me to take it, so I accepted it. Jiang Yinian said.
"Great! Yi Nian, you are really my lucky star!" said Huangfu Jinxiu happily.
Yan Huan also smiled slightly and nodded.
At that moment, the three of them went back to rest, and they didn't say anything all night.
The next day, the three of them took the jade plate and successfully entered the city lord's mansion.
As Jiang Yinian said, the city lord is a very kind middle-aged man, he is a little bloated, his face is fat, but he loves to laugh, and the meat on both sides of his mouth always makes people want to go up and pinch it. His surname is Qu, and his name is League.
When the city lord saw that it was Jiang Yinian, he was very happy, and immediately invited the three of them into the mansion.
The city lord ordered someone to serve tea, and asked with a smile: "Yinian, are you the only one who came this time? What about your father? How are you doing lately?"
When Qu Meng spoke, Jiang Yinian was raising the teacup to drink tea, when he heard Qu Meng's words, his hands paused slightly, blinked his eyes, and suddenly sobbed, and said, "Uncle Qu, my father is dead!"
"What!" Qu Meng was shocked, the teacup in his hand was crushed at once, and the tea spilled, but Qu Meng didn't feel it at all.
When the servants on both sides saw it, they hurriedly came to help Qu Meng sort it out, but they were pushed away by Qu Meng. Qu Meng stood up tremblingly, raised his head, and sighed to the sky: "Yunsheng, Yunsheng, you and I have only been separated for decades, why did you leave?"
Then he turned his head, looked at Jiang Yinian, and said anxiously: "Yinian, what the hell is going on?
Jiang Yinian wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, raised his head, and said, "Uncle Qu, don't worry, let me elaborate." ”
"My Jiang family has ancestral training, every Geng Yin year I have to go to Baoyue City to find someone who is destined, at the beginning of Geng Yin, my father and daughter packed their luggage and went to Baoyue City. I spent three or four months there, but I didn't find anyone who was destined for it. My father and daughter are not in a hurry, they just respect the teachings of their ancestors. But just a few days ago, we found someone who was destined, and it was these two. As he spoke, Jiang Yinian pointed at Yan Huan and the others.
At the moment, the two sides saluted separately and introduced their names, needless to say.
Jiang Yinian continued: "But because of the negligence of the father and daughter, they passed by someone who was destined. That evening we went back to the inn to rest, and prepared to look for it in the city again tomorrow, and since the destined person had already come, we were not in a hurry. The next morning, my father and I woke up to find that we had been removed from the inn by maneuvering, and that we had been placed under a ban all around. My father immediately handed me the rune to find someone who was destined for him, and then broke the forbidden law and let me go, leaving him alone to deal with the enemy. But I didn't escape far, I was caught up by three people, I couldn't fight them, and was seriously injured by three people, but fortunately Yan Huan and Jinxiu rescued each other, so they were safe. Later, the people who trapped me and my father came to chase me again, but they were also sent away by Yan Huan and Jinxiu. ”
"Later, the three of us went to the gathering place of our Jiang clan, only to find that all my clansmen had been poisoned. At the moment, I was afraid that that group of people would come to chase and kill me again, so I wanted to separate from Yan Huan and Jinxiu, for fear of affecting them. But they insisted on protecting me, and I had to take their kindness one more time. They said they wanted to have a good time in the Hanhai Desert, so I became a guide and took them to Beauty City to have a look. ”
"At first, I didn't want to trouble Uncle Qu, but we found something in Beauty City! That is, every sunset, the woman's face seen on the upper floor of Beauty City turned out to be the face of Jinxiu's mother! So we investigated this matter in Beauty City, but we didn't find anything. Yan Huan suggested that we go to the city lord and ask, and Jinxiu smiled and said, how can we meet the city lord. So I said that I knew Uncle Qu and that I could bring them to meet him. ”
Qu Meng nodded and said, "So that's the case. But one thought, through your story, I think that Yunsheng may not be dead yet!"
"Oh?" Jiang Yinian was shocked, frowned, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle Qu, why did you say this?"
Qu Meng paced two steps and said, "Do you think, since those people can move you and your father to the wilderness without knowing it, then why didn't they kill you at that time? I think they have something to ask your father and you, maybe it has something to do with your ancestral teachings. ”
Jiang Yinian thought about it carefully, then nodded, and said, "Uncle Qu, after your analysis, it is indeed possible that my father is not dead! But they must be using all kinds of means to extract a confession! My father must have suffered a lot now!" As he spoke, Jiang Yinian lowered his head again and sobbed softly.
Jinxiu reached out and touched her head.
And here Qu Meng continued: "There is one more thing, but I am very curious. As he spoke, Qu Meng glanced at Yan Huan and Jinxiu.
Jiang Yinian wiped away his tears and asked, "I don't know what Uncle Qu is confused about?"
Qu Meng frowned and said, "Look at these two, their cultivation is not so high. Supposedly, the person who can hunt down and kill your father should at least be safe, but how did these two get rid of that person?"
When Jiang Yinian heard this, he smiled and said, "Uncle Qu, don't be suspicious, although these two are not highly cultivated, their treasures are very amazing. After that, he glanced at Yan Huan and Jinxiu.
The two of them understood, and then recited a mantra, calling out Huangfu Bing'an, Yun Ziyi, and Suo Heng. The three of them appeared in front of Qu Meng at once, and suddenly a wave of majestic mana dispersed, and Qu Meng retreated again and again. That Qu Meng is only a cultivator in the Chaos Realm, one order lower than Huangfu Bing'an, where can he stop the mana fluctuations of the three of them?
That Qu Meng saw three very terrifying guys who had cultivated all at once, and his face changed greatly. only to find that the three of them were all instrument spirits, and their complexions changed again.
The three of them suppressed their momentum and saluted Qu Meng. Huangfu Bing'an said: "Qu City Lord, I was offended just now. The three of us are the personal guards of Gongzi Cheng and Huangfu Girl, my name is Huangfu Bing'an, this is Yun Ziyi, and this is Suo Heng. ”
With that, the three of them stepped aside. At this time, Qu Meng looked at Yan Huan and the others with a strange expression. Yan Huan and Jinxiu laughed and stepped forward.
Yan Huan said: "City Lord Qu, I was offended just now, I hope the city lord will not blame, the three of them have just come out, and the momentum cannot be suppressed for a while, which is normal." Yan Huan naturally knew that the three of them were deliberate, and the city lord's words were quite contemptuous, and the three of them couldn't hear this, so they naturally wanted to teach Qu Meng a lesson. But Yan Huan couldn't say it clearly, so he had to protect the three of them.
That Qu Meng knew that what he said just now was a bit rude, but when he thought that the three of them had just made themselves ugly, he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, but it was also because of his feelings, so it was inconvenient to say it directly. Besides, these three people are not fuel-efficient lamps no matter how you look at them. One Cave Heaven Realm, two Unharmed Realms, that is to say, the body of these three people is a superb treasure weapon and two sword middle grade treasure weapons, who are they? Such a big name, two small monks with magical powers, want so many treasures to guard, these two people have a great background!
That Qu Meng thought in his heart, but with a slight smile on his face, he said, "Don't worry, don't worry." Since the two are Yinian's life-saving benefactors, they are also equivalent to Qu's life-saving benefactors. Brother Yunsheng and I were close friends, and I thought of being killed before, thanks to the help of the two of us, Qu was polite. If you have any questions, just ask, I know everything, and I have to say everything. ”
Yan Huan and Jinxiu glanced at each other and smiled lightly. Yan Huan said: "That's good! Then it will disturb the city lord, and the kid thanked him first." With that, Yan Huan bowed slightly.
Qu Meng hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Young Xia doesn't have to be polite, please ask." ”
Yan Huan nodded and glanced at Huangfu Jinxiu. Huangfu Jinxiu stepped forward and said, "City Lord Qu, I don't know who the builder of this city is?"
Qu Meng looked stunned and said: "I don't know this, I only know that he is my father's master, a woman, and the woman I saw on the city tower under the sunset." ”
"Oh, did Ling Zun tell you who his master was, or where did she go after?"
Qu Meng shook his head and said, "I have never heard my father say this. My father rarely mentioned his master, except that sometimes at sunset, he would go up to the tower, look at the woman's face, and sigh twice. A few times, I even thought that the woman was my mother-in-law, and once I plucked up my courage and asked, only to be severely taught by my father. After the lesson, my father asked me to kneel down with him and bow to the sky. When he knelt down, his father still recited words in his mouth, saying something, Master is not strange, the child is young and ignorant or something. ”
Seeing that she couldn't ask anything, Jinxiu couldn't help but be disappointed, sighed, and said: "It seems that there are not many clues from my mother in this beautiful city! But if I say this, then wouldn't my mother have lived for tens of thousands of years, and according to the chronological reasoning, my mother should have gone to Huangfu City after leaving the beauty city, and then married my father and had me." Oh, by the way, Lord Qu, when did the beautiful city begin to show that woman's face?"
That Qu Meng thought for a while, smacked his lips, and said: "Probably thousands of years ago, I remember that time, oh, yes! That year was my father's 3,000-year-old birthday, and I remember that year was the year of Wuyin." My father was a strange man, born on the day of the second month of the year of Wuyin! My father was in tune with that. ”
Both Jinxiu and Yan Huan were amazed. Jinxiu then asked: "But I don't know if Ling Zun is still there now?"
My father has gone to the sky now, and I haven't seen him in years. Qu Meng said.
After all, what happened next, please see Chapter 98
