Chapter 23: The Bamboo Forest
At this time, the roof of the front yard was brightly lit, and many men ran out to catch the thief.
"Everyone went aside, and everyone was caught by the little brother. What are you still doing when you come out, and your hands and feet are too slow. At this time, the shopkeeper also came.
"Little brother, I'm going to let people throw this thief to the government. Even my inn dares to come to the wilderness, I really don't know whether to live or die. The shopkeeper kicked the old man's ass with that.
"Little brother, go back to your room and rest. Tomorrow, when the yamen confirms the identity of the thief, the bounty will be delivered. The shopkeeper took someone to tie up the old man, and he carried him out.
"Uncle Chang drunk, purple bamboo forest. Anyway, I can't sleep when I wake up, so I'll go when I go to get the wine. Yuan Cheng thought to himself, and walked quickly towards Tingyu Pavilion.
"Thank you, Shaoxia. As soon as Yuan Cheng arrived at Tingyu Pavilion, he saw a woman in the corridor. I couldn't see it under the moonlight, but I could see the warm red lips lightly opened, and then a voice said.
"You're welcome. Yuan Cheng said flatly.
At this time, Yuan Cheng walked over, and by the moonlight, he finally saw the woman's face clearly. I saw that this woman was draped in hair, two curved eyebrows like a crescent moon, big eyes like water, flowing autumn waves, a dignified and delicate nose, warm red lips like jade with a smile, fair skin that could be blown and broken, wearing a red brocade robe, the skin against the background was extraordinarily white, and the beauty was like in the painting. But why is it so familiar?
"It's you!" both shouted at the same time.
"At that time, Wanhualou peeed on me taking a bath, and you were the one who was the one who was taking a bath!" Yuan Cheng said at this moment, which seemed to be a little confusing.
"Who's going to spy on you!, you're a whore, taking a bath in someone else's reserved room!" the woman's face was a little red when she thought of this, but Yuan Cheng didn't know if she was shy or angry.
"What an adulterer, it's obvious that you saw me. I just helped you catch the thief. Yuan Cheng said angrily, it was really the wicked who sued first, and he pretended to be the same as the one who was seen when he saw it.
"I don't care, you're a whore and exhibitionist anyway. The woman exclaimed.
"So unreasonable! Then I'll show you lewdness. Yuan Cheng deceived him and was about to kiss the woman, but the woman was so frightened that she dodged again and again.
"I won't tell you, I have something to go out now, don't let me see you in the future. After speaking, Yuan Cheng turned into the door.
"Hmph, who wants to see you whore! What a good person would be to take a bath in a woman's room. The woman snorted, turned around and left, her heart fluttering, she was really scared to death just now.
Yuan Cheng turned into the door and picked up the Sky Lack Knife. He took the little fox into his arms, picked up the wine gourd, and jumped onto the roof. Ran in the direction where the drunken uncle usually disappeared.
In the vicinity of Jindu City, there are many large bamboo forests. At night, the forest was filled with purple gas, and an amethyst-like ore appeared on the ground, but no one dared to dig these ores. Because legend has it that there was a mythical beast like a unicorn here, and there were even robbers, so no one dared to stop in these bamboo forests at night.
Yuan Cheng walked cautiously in the bamboo forest, opened his night eyes to check, and did not dare to be careless.
At this time, a few bamboo leaves flew from a distance, and Yuan Cheng waved his palm to scatter the fallen leaves.
"Little brother, I can't imagine that your skills have reached this kind of perfection in the past few years. The figure of Uncle Chang Drunk appeared from the bamboo forest and slowly walked towards Yuan Cheng.
"Uncle Chang drunk, I haven't seen you for a few years, you are getting more and more powerful. Yuan Cheng looked happy, and threw the wine gourd over with a flick of his hand.
"Good wine, it really deserves to be brewed with a hundred fruits, and when you take a sip, your lips and teeth will be fragrant. Uncle Chang Drunk only took a sip and knew what kind of wine it was, so he quickly covered the lid of the gourd.
"Uncle Chang Drunk, let's sit down and talk. Yuan Cheng found a bunch of dead branches and leaves from nearby, and then ignited them with his strength.
"Have you already practiced Cheng DΓΉ, who has already practiced his skills, and it seems that it won't take long to catch up with me. Yu Wenjun's heir is really extraordinary!" Uncle Chang Drunk looked up into the distance, and his vicissitudes of life seemed to be piercing through this purple bamboo forest.
"Uncle Chang Zui, you are also a member of my clan, right? What is the origin of my clan?" Yuan Cheng's expression was calm, and the deeper his cultivation became, the more he felt that the clansmen were not simple.
"Little brother has already noticed it? Your Yuwen clan is a branch of the Xianbei clan, and the clan has always lived in the north, regardless of the rivers and lakes. However, the clan later obtained a bronze token by chance, and was later implicated in a series of events. The various clans competed with each other, and even the people of the Xianmen intervened, and all the clansmen were hunted down, and many clansmen were killed and injured in that battle. In the end, the patriarch Yu Wenjun did not hesitate to fall into the devil and fought until the last moment to quell the war. Uncle Chang Drunk poured another sip of wine, as if recalling the situation back then.
"Into the Devil?Yuwen Clan?Is Yuwenjun my biological father?" Yuan Cheng muttered to himself in a little stunned.
"Well, it's your biological father. Because that war affected a lot of innocents, your biological father named you Yuwenze, hoping that you will be born in the future and benefit the world. When Uncle Chang Drunk said this, he no longer had his usual light and breezy color, and was slightly excited.
"Yu Wenze, it turns out that my name is Yu Wenze! My biological father is no longer in the world, right?" Yuan Cheng asked with some sadness.
Although Yuan Cheng has never seen his biological father since he was a child, he is still concerned about these blood related people and is no longer calm.
"The patriarch fought against the three major immortal sects with his own strength and fought until the last moment. Burned himself and kept his people. And you were secretly sent away by Great Elder Yuwen Baiyi and Second Elder Yuwen Ying, and your life experience was also buried. The people in the clan only know that there are people who want to usurp power, but in fact, the dangers you will face in the future are far more than that. What the patriarch has not done will be completed by you in the future. Uncle Chang Drunk had already regained his composure and said lightly.
"Uncle Chang Drunk, what is your position in the clan? Yuan Cheng asked Uncle Chang Drunk, and at the same time took off the bronze token from his pants.
"Uncle Ben has always been an idler in the clan. Don't look at this bronze token as ordinary, but you must put it away, I heard that from this token, you can spy on the secrets of heavenly machine and flying immortal immortality. Uncle Chang Drunk stretched out his hand and pushed the bronze token back, and said softly.
"It's so important! No wonder even the Immortal Sect had to compete for it back then, I heard that the Xuanqing Sect Sect Sect had not cultivated to become an immortal. Yuan Cheng looked at the token, except for some patterns and a word, there was nothing. He continued to hang on to his pants.
"Hmph, the head of the Xuanqing Sect was also one of the people behind the persecution of the clansmen back then, and I will have to settle this account sooner or later. When Uncle Chang Drunk heard this name, a wave of anger rose in his eyes, and the momentum on his body emanated violently. Then the nearby bamboos swayed like the wind, and the startled bamboo forest was silent, as if time had stood still.
Yuan Cheng was shocked in his heart, is this Uncle Chang Drunk? It's just that the momentum is so terrifying, if Uncle Chang Drunk is angry, how terrible it is.
"Little brother, don't be afraid, Uncle Ben's mood just now fluctuated too much, exposing Uncle Ben's strength to the top, haha. It's the Heavenly Demon Fox in your arms, right?" Uncle Chang Drunk suddenly woke up and diverted the topic.
"Well, I don't know what kind of fox it is, it's very well-behaved anyway. Yuan Cheng said.
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Heavenly Demon Fox, and after accumulating three hundred years of Taoism, it can be cultivated into a human form. After becoming a human form, you can start to practice spells, and the demon's cultivation speed is very fast, ordinary people cultivate for ten years, and demons only need to cultivate for three years. Uncle Chang Drunk took another sip and said slowly.
"That's amazing! It seems that I must get the shape-shifting fruit if I have the chance, so that the little fox can help me. Yuan Cheng looked up at the fire.
"Little brother also knows that transformation fruit, it seems that there is such a thing in the forbidden land of the Xuanqing Sect, I will help you get it if I have the chance. Uncle Chang Drunk said lightly.
"Uncle Chang Drunk, what other races are there in this world? I heard you say just now that my biological father did not hesitate to fall into the devil?" Yuan Cheng asked.
"This world is far more complicated than you have ever seen and imagined, because some races are in sparsely populated places that are difficult for ordinary people to see, while the strength of other races is much higher than that of the human race. Uncle Chang Drunk said while drinking.
After speaking, Uncle Chang Drunk paused, and continued: "Like that demon clan, there are many kinds, some can spell, and some are powerful. The demons are also a powerful race, strong and long-lived, they have many branches, one of which is still very close to your family. The immortal race is above all races, of course, no one has been found in this world who has cultivated the immortal path, and the things in your hands can peek into some of the mysteries. This is also the reason why so many immortal sects came to compete for this thing in the first place, everyone wanted to cultivate into a true immortal, so as to obtain immortality. β
