Chapter 278: Ling Xiao Woke Up from a Dream (15)
Chasing Gu Xuyao back to Leishi Village, he didn't hesitate to go straight to the home he once remembered.
It hasn't changed, it hasn't changed in the slightest, it's still the wooden house, hundreds of years, let alone a wooden house, I'm afraid even the stone house will decay and weather, but it seems to be not eroded by the years, except that it is inevitably a little colder.
The thing itself is strange enough, when he was still in the red mud area, there were already many people who coveted this wooden house, but Gu Xuyao was strong and a hunter, so he was allowed to go, and after what happened, even Blacksmith Zhang thought that Gu Xuyao was dead, so this room would definitely be occupied by other people, even if Blacksmith Zhang wanted to stay, other villagers would not be willing.
"Brother Shen......" Meng Meng followed at this time, following the white-haired man's gaze at the wooden house. "Brother Shen, this is your ......"
"That's right, it seems that if you want to find out any clues, you really have to start from the place where you started, I was born in this wooden house, and today, it seems that only here can give me the answer. β
After finishing speaking, Gu Xuyao pushed the door and entered it, there was no peculiar smell between the nasal cavities, and the furnishings in each place were exactly the same as yesterday, even the traces on the windowsill that he bit off with his teeth were still there, and after coming in, he immediately felt the fluctuation of Yuan Li, but it was a pity that the other party's cultivation did not seem to be high, and the method of maintaining the ancestral house from being damaged was quite inferior, and according to this power, I am afraid that he would have to cast the spell again in twenty years.
However, there is nothing else to be gained, the house is a place that can be seen at a glance, and no matter how much you search, you can't find the slightest clue.
"Since someone wants to keep this cabin for me. Then he must have expected that I would return to Leishi Village, as the saying goes, there must be a reason, it is impossible for the other party not to leave something, no, there must be something to say to me, but I haven't found out yet......"
Thinking about it, Gu Xuyao knew that this ancestral house was no longer valuable, and when he was frowning, someone came in from outside the house.
When I looked back, I realized that it was the blacksmith who had been disturbed before, and it was suspected that he was the one who inherited Zhang's blacksmith skills. At this point, he looked frightened. Looking at Gu Xuyao's eyes was like looking at a ghost: "You...... Is your surname Gu and your name Xu Yao?"
After hearing this, Gu Xuyao frowned: "Why do you ask like this?
In order to ensure your own safety, you are not allowed to reveal your name even in this red mud area. The blacksmith hesitated for a moment when he heard the answer. Eventually, he shook his head. He turned around and was about to leave, but unfortunately he was facing the monk, and at the slightest spell he blocked the blacksmith in the house.
"You...... Are you a fairy? Forgive me for taking the liberty of it, I just remembered the ancestral teachings, so come and ask, I ......"
"Wait, what are you talking about?"
"Yes...... Ancestor Zhang once left a note that would not be broken for a hundred years, which said that if a person named Gu Xuyao came to this room, he must come to meet him......
Gu Xuyao felt even more strange in his heart when he heard this, so he asked, "What are you going to meet?"
"Yes, I didn't say it above, just asked me to meet this person, in fact, when the ancestor left the ancestral teaching, it was already past the age of the sixtieth year, and it was said that he was delirious, and he didn't know when he suddenly called someone to leave a testament in front of the bed, and said that the paper was left by the immortal to him, and he must follow it, and finally said and left with a smile. "That blacksmith looked nervous, and Gu Xuyao had already used Yuan Force to probe back and forth, unless the other party's cultivation was extremely high, he would be an ordinary mortal no matter how he looked at it.
"Can you take that note with you? β
Where did he dare not listen to the words of the immortals, and he didn't care about what the ancestors taught or not, so he quickly took out the thing and handed it over.
"I don't know how many years have passed, there is always an ancient surname Xu Yao who has returned here, and if he returns to the ancestral house, he will definitely see him in person. β
The content written on it is really the same as the little blacksmith said, the font is not good-looking, and it is somewhat crooked, it looks like it is indeed from the hand of the blacksmith, but this is only possible, the monk's method is more than 10,000,000,Why is it difficult to imitate the handwriting of a mortal?
Let's put down the matter of ancestral training for the time being, Gu Xuyao stared at the little blacksmith in front of him, thought for a while, beckoned, motioned for him to sit down and said slowly: "You don't have to be nervous, I won't hurt you in the slightest, why don't you tell me what big things have happened in the village in the last few hundred years?"
The little blacksmith was still timid at first, but he finally sat down under the push of Meng Meng, and calmed down, he thought for a long time, for fear that he would say something wrong: "Actually, there is nothing special, isn't the way we mortals live like that, every day engaged in menial work, eating and waiting for death, I actually dreamed of becoming an immortal, but I had no choice but to have that ability, so I could only marry a wife and have children to live this life." β
"Is there really anything worth saying about it?, or is there any powerful person in the village who can compare to the immortals?"
"Compare to the ...... of immortals" Speaking of this, the little blacksmith seemed to think of something. "That's right, that's right, let's just say that Gu Xuyao, he is a very powerful immortal, it is said that it is for this reason that the immortal master who manages our red mud area casts a spell in this room so that it will never be damaged. β
"The monk who runs the Red Clay District, why are you so sure?"
"In fact, how can we, ordinary people, know the identity of the immortals? If it is calculated, the fairy has not been here for hundreds of years, but according to many theories in the village, it is said that the previous people have seen the adult appear in the village several times, and he was not sure of his identity, and when someone accidentally went to the city wall, he happened to see the fairy who often came to the village wandering and pacing on the city wall, and he was so happy at that time that he hurried back to tell everyone, and the whole village was very excited at that time, saying that the next time he saw the adult, he must climb well, maybe he could go out to see the outside world, but unfortunately, he did not see the adult again after that timeγ β
According to the little blacksmith's statement, there is indeed such a possibility, nodding secretly in his heart, Gu Xuyao then asked: "You said that he has appeared in the village several times, do you think this so-called ancestral training is left by him?"
Hearing this, the little blacksmith looked flustered, waved his hands and said: "How can I know this, great, my lord, should you also be the monk who manages our red mud area, I, I don't have the intention to spy on any secrets, I, in fact, it's none of my business, what I just said is hearsay, not made it up by me, my lord spares his life." β
"What are you nervous about, I don't say what I'm going to do to you now, answer the question honestly to ensure that you live to ninety-nine safe and sound. Meng Meng looked annoyed behind him and scolded, but don't say it, this trick really worked, and the little blacksmith immediately became submissive.
"Actually, I really don't know about this matter, what do you think, that's the fairy lord, how can he tell us such a small character for the purpose of coming to Leishi Village? It's just that the legend in the village said that the last time I saw the adults come was to send the ashes of the three Li brothers who also cultivated immortals, saying that they died in battle outside, and they were sent in for the soul to return to the fallen leaves, but that was not what I saw with my own eyes, this matter has passed hundreds of years, but the legend of the fairy lord will always become a topic of conversation after tea and dinner, so it is widely spread. β
For Gu Xuyao, this is undoubtedly another clue, it turns out that the three brothers of the Li family have also become monks, how easy it is for mortals to become immortals, not to mention Leishi Village on weekdays, I am afraid that there will not be a few monks in the entire red mud area, with this suspicion Gu Xuyao asked again, and sure enough, there were dozens of people in the entire Leishi Village who were selected to become monks after that hunting competition.
"However, Lord Immortal, can you not sue others about this matter, because there was an order that you should not publicize this matter, and I ...... it."
"No problem, just tell me what you know, and I promise you'll be fine. β
After finishing speaking, Gu Xuyao asked for many details, among which the little blacksmith naturally couldn't know everything, but he couldn't be blamed for this, after the interrogation, Gu Xuyao threw him a bag of yuan stones, which was enough for him to live the rest of his life.
Still inevitably panicked, the departing little blacksmith rushed back to his shop after stepping out of the door, and Meng Meng couldn't help but scoff when he saw him so timid.
"Brother Shen, what should we do next?"
Things are finally starting to show their heads, but it looks like a game no matter how you look at it.
"Brother Mu, do you feel that someone in the dark is leading me to find the truth?"
"It's okay if you don't say it, I think it's weird when you say this, I think those monks raise mortals within high walls, even if someone can leave here to become a monk, but you think, you only went out for a few years and died in battle, so no matter how good the cultivation is, it is limited, how can a monk of that level be worth deliberately ordering someone to send the ashes back to the village?"
Hearing that Meng Meng was able to analyze it like this, Gu Xuyao nodded with a smile, he stood up and patted the Mu brother on the shoulder: "Yes, there is progress, being able to think of this means that you really use your brain, then you should know where we are going." β
Leaving the ancestral house, walking to the other end of the village with memory, the wooden house in front of him has obviously been repaired many times, compared to the homes of other villagers is much more luxurious, this is the wooden house of the three Li brothers, Gu Xuyao was often bullied by them when he was a child, I still remember that once Li Bo was found by Gu Xuyao after being alone, at that time, if they were fighting alone, where were they Gu Xuyao's opponents, the poor child was chased by him to the front of the house, and kept crying and alarming his parents, and Gu Xuyao left in a hurry when he was a child.
