When Li Mingyue walked into Guangyang County, the bright moon was already hanging in the night sky, and the whole city was silent.
Su Qingfeng's injury this time was not serious, and she would not be able to recover for a while. Not only was she seriously injured in the Taihua Sect, but she also broke her oath and left Qingyuan Mountain, which damaged her Taoist heart.
So Li Mingyue planned to find a place in the city and wait for Su Qingfeng's injury to get better before returning to Qingyuan Mountain. After all, the Yan State had not taken action yet, so it would not be appropriate to take the injured Su Qingfeng on the road. Staying here would provide some protection.
.
Li Mingyue first found an inn with lanterns hanging on it. After walking in, she found that there were not many people in the lobby and the innkeeper was dozing on the counter.
Li Mingyue walked up to the counter and knocked on the table. The shopkeeper woke up, hurriedly wiped the saliva from his mouth, and said with a smile: "Is it better to be a guest officer or stay in the hotel?"
Li Mingyue said: "Two upper rooms, one of which must be a soft bed, and prepare some hot water and some food. The hot water will be delivered to the room, and the food will be placed here first."
The shopkeeper responded, looked aside, and found the waiter lying on a guest table meeting Meng Gu. He walked over and kicked the waiter on the butt, then cursed.
After that, the waiter led Li Mingyue upstairs and prepared what Li Mingyue requested.
After Li Mingyue washed the dust off Su Qingfeng's face, she let the little devil come out of the bell to protect Su Qingfeng, then closed the door and walked down the hall.
Seeing Li Mingyue coming down, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "Sir, please find a place to sit for a while. The food and wine will be ready soon."
Li Mingyue nodded and was about to find a place to sit down when an old man in the corner shouted: "Master Li, can you come over for a drink?"
Li Mingyue looked along the sound, and it happened that the old man was also looking at her.
It was an old man with a sheepskin fur coat. Although his gray hair was combed into a bun, it was a bit messy. He was holding a wine glass in his hand and was gesturing towards Li Mingyue.
Li Mingyue frowned, thought for a moment, walked up, sat down and asked, "Senior, do you recognize me?"
The old man smiled and said: "Of course, I saw you when you were just born, but I didn't expect that time would go so fast, and the babies back then would have grown so big now."
As he spoke, he sighed with emotion, looked at Li Mingyue and said, "It looks like it, it really looks like it."
Then he poured Li Mingyue a glass of wine.
Li Mingyue hurriedly shook her head and said, "I don't drink."
The old man frowned and said, "How can a swordsman not drink? Chen Daoling never told you?"
Li Mingyue was stunned, shook her head and said: "No."
He then asked: "Senior, do you know my master?"
The old man nodded and said: "Drink this glass of wine. Whatever you want to know, I can tell you, but it can only be what I know. If I don't know, you can't make it up."
Li Mingyue looked at the wine glass on the table, and then at the old man. Unfortunately, he couldn't tell the difference, so he picked up the wine glass and drank it all. However, Li Mingyue had never drank wine after all, and the hot feeling made him stop.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and tears welled up in his eyes.
The old man laughed and asked, "How do you feel?"
Li Mingyue only has one feeling now, that is spicy, so she directly said: "Spicy."
The old man chuckled and said: "Spicy is good, spicy is good wine. Only by drinking this kind of wine can you be invincible with your sword and soar into the sky with heroic spirit."
As he spoke, he poured another cup for Li Mingyue and asked at the same time: "Are you satisfied with the Dragon Yuan Fruit?"
Li Mingyue was shocked, but soon felt relieved. Since the old man knew his master, he was not surprised to know the woman in the bell, so he asked: "Is that Dragon Yuan Fruit consigned by senior?"
The old man nodded with a smile and said: "I originally planned to give it to you. I just came back from the demon land and I don't have any money for drinks. I happened to meet your kid who is rich and wanted to ask for some travel expenses. I have no choice but to be tricked by your master.
I have spent my whole life waiting for him to ascend, but I still have to get some points back from his disciples."
Li Mingyue couldn't laugh or cry.
The old man continued: "I didn't understand how a Dragon Yuan Fruit could help you before, but I probably understand a little bit about what happened in Taihua Sect today. The old guy surnamed Chen is quite calculating. He thought of it ten years ago.
It’s only today that I tricked me into going to the Demonic Land to hunt for treasure.”
Li Mingyue thanked: "Thank you, senior! If it weren't for that Dragon Yuan Fruit, I'm afraid today would be..."
The old man waved his hand and said: "You don't need to thank me for the promise I made to your master. Besides, didn't I also make a lot of money?"
Li Mingyue smiled slightly, and then asked: "Senior, do you know what happened to me?"
The old man drank a glass of wine by himself, put down the glass and said: "Almost everyone knows, but there are some more involved things that even your master can't see through, let alone me."
Li Mingyue asked directly: "What happened when I was born? Although the master left some things, it only explained my identity, but there was no specific information. For example, who is my father and who is my mother? Are they the same?
…”
He did not continue because he had actually made a guess for a long time, and the reason why he brought it up was because he had a tiny glimmer of hope.
The old man sighed and said: "Actually, you can guess who your father is, so don't tell me. As for your mother, she is the queen of the Tang Dynasty. It's just that your mother's identity is a bit special, and she is somehow related to the demon clan in the north.
relationship."
He looked at Li Mingyue and continued: "You should know that anyone who has anything to do with the Demon Realm is not tolerated by the righteous way, so you'd better find a way to deal with the little devil next to you."
Li Mingyue nodded and said, "Thank you, senior."
The old man continued: "When you were about to be born, there was a great chaos in the Tang Kingdom. The demon soil invaded. Your father led the soldiers of the Tang Kingdom to guard it personally. Unfortunately, he fell into a trap and was trapped in despair. He asked for help several times. Haojing was here.
Even though she was unmoved, your mother, with her big belly, rushed to Qi Kingdom alone, but was intercepted and killed by a strong man of the right way. After giving birth to you..."
Li Mingyue's face was gloomy.
But the old man just sighed: "I'm sorry for your father and your mother, we didn't even see each other for the last time."
Li Mingyue asked calmly: "Who is there?"
The old man shook his head and said: "I'm not very clear about this matter. Maybe only your master knows who was involved in the beginning, and this matter involves too much. It is obviously a plan involving the mountains and the mountains, the demons, the earth, the human world, and even the immortals in the sky.
, as for why, maybe it has something to do with you, maybe it has something to do with your mother, I can’t tell clearly.”
Li Mingyue frowned again.
The old man said: "There are some things that you may know in the future. It may not be a good thing to know now, but don't worry too much. Since your master has chosen to ascend, he has naturally planned everything for you, otherwise he would not wait until
Now."
Li Mingyue nodded, actually raised the wine glass on the table, and drank it in one sip. Although it was still very spicy, it felt different from before, with a special taste.
He whispered: "Senior, can you tell me about my father and my mother?"
There was a hint of doting in the old man's eyes, and he nodded: "Okay."
At this time, the waiter brought Li Mingyue's food, and a lot of people happened to walk into the inn. They were all people who had come down from the Taihua Sect. Of course, they were ordinary casual cultivators and some powerful figures in the secular world. They should be.
It was late at night, so after these people arrived, they directly asked the inn to arrange rooms, but they did not notice Li Mingyue and the old man in the corner.
The two of them chatted while eating until dawn. Unfortunately, they still couldn't finish talking about Li Mingyue's parents, especially the things about her mother. Each one of them was legendary.
Afterwards, the old man said that he still had some unfinished business in Demonic Land, and he came back this time to bring Long Yuan Guo back. Now that Li Mingyue's matter has been resolved, his mission has been completed, and he has to go back to Demonic Land to continue his work.
This incident also made Li Mingyue remember to go to Demonic Land for a walk in the future, and she would never be disappointed.
Li Mingyue agreed, and then sent the old man out of the inn before dawn. The old man just waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's only appropriate to drink some wine after practicing the sword. What's the magic? Three ounces of wine is better than
The golden immortals of the heavens.”
Li Mingyue kept watching the old man's back disappear into the morning light. He must have drunk a lot of wine unknowingly. He shook his somewhat groggy head, then said "Oh" and said to himself: "Forgot to ask?"
The name of this senior."
Li Mingyue turned around and walked back to the inn. Perhaps it was because of her parents that her heart felt heavy, or perhaps because of the wine, she seemed to have never been more relaxed.
He suddenly remembered that his master, who rarely drank, seemed to have drunk a lot of wine the night before his ascension. He also said that he had buried the wine a long time ago, saying that he would wait for Li Mingyue to marry a wife.
Drink, but he can't see that day, so he just drinks it in advance.
There are some things that the old Taoist would say to Li Mingyue, but not to Su Qingfeng. There are some things that the old Taoist would say to Su Qingfeng, but not to Li Mingyue.
People thought that the old Taoist ascended to become an immortal and went to heaven to live happily. However, Li Mingyue felt that it was not the case. The old Taoist did not seem to like being an immortal. Instead, he preferred to lead his apprentice to deceive and be expelled.
Although he was very embarrassed every time during the beating, the old guy would always smile from ear to ear because of such a few copper coins.
So thinking of that master, Li Mingyue felt that the old guy was quite vulgar. How could such a vulgar person be able to become that superior immortal?
Li Mingyue has never been able to figure this issue out.
When Li Mingyue walked back to the inn, Su Qingfeng had already woken up and walked out of the room.
When Li Mingyue saw her, she hurriedly put aside all her thoughts, but before she could speak, Su Qingfeng frowned and said, "Have you been drinking?"
Li Mingyue seemed to be afraid that her senior sister would be angry, so she hurriedly explained: "I met a friend of the master and drank a little."
"Oh." Unexpectedly, Su Qingfeng only uttered one word.
She was still the same, cold and indifferent.
The senior sister did not blame her, but Li Mingyue felt slightly disappointed.
"Master also drinks." Su Qingfeng continued.
Li Mingyue was stunned, raised her head, and met Su Qingfeng's eyes.
Their eyes met, Su Qingfeng's pale face at the moment was filled with a touch of red, and he asked in a low voice: "Is what you said in Taihua Zong true?"
Li Mingyue was stunned and asked: "What?"
Su Qingfeng shook his head and said: "It's nothing."
After saying that, he turned around and went upstairs, saying: "My injury needs some time to recover, so I will stay here for a few days."
Li Mingyue suddenly said: "It's true!"
Su Qingfeng paused slightly as he went upstairs, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, but it was a pity that Li Mingyue could not see it.
Although the road is good, walking alone would be lonely, not to mention that there are some beautiful things in this world, but they are not necessarily worse than the road.
