Hearing my accusation, Senior Brother Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head, explaining: "I... I'm not afraid of trouble for you. You are the emperor of Zhongzhou, guiding all the people in the world, and as the leader of Tianyi, you lead a sect of hundreds of thousands of elite monks.
, and now you are secretly the leader in cultivation in the world. You have traveled all over the nine states. No one knows your name without cultivation. Now the Immortal Altar Conference is coming soon. It is better to do less than to do more. How can I let you work hard for such a small time as me? "
"Senior brother! No matter how big or small you were, you and I were in the same boat. After so many years, what's the difference between your big things and mine?" I replied, looking at Qingzhu, the little girl looked at us talking in secret.
Confused, I touched her head and said: "Qingzhu, your uncle and uncle are not ordinary people. We are Jiuzhou cultivators. If something happens in a while, don't be too nervous and surprised, okay?"
Qingzhu nodded and said: "I have seen cultivation, flying over eaves and walking over walls, and breaking big rocks with your chest!"
I smiled, and Senior Brother Yan also felt enlightened and said with a smile: "Look at you, you can only fly over roofs and walk over walls, with your chest broken by rocks, but you have so many things to do on your shoulders."
"The greater the ability, the greater the deeds. What I want in my heart is the righteousness. How can I judge the strength of my own abilities?" I said casually, and then I snapped my fingers, and Xiaojiao came from the depths of the jungle in an instant.
arrived in front of me.
Looking at Xia Yan Qingzhu expressionlessly, Xiaojiao didn't have many questions, she just asked me: "Master, is this you?"
"Well, it's her." I said, and Xiaojiao nodded, then walked over and gradually disappeared into a thick cloud of smoke. Then a dragon head popped out of the sea of clouds, staring at Qingzhu without blinking.
Qingzhu originally felt very fresh when she saw the steaming sea of clouds, but when she saw Xiaojiao transforming into a dragon, her face turned pale. However, because she had promised me not to be too surprised and nervous, she trembled all over without calling out.
I smiled and said, "Okay, it's a piece of fine jade. Senior brother, you have quite a few disciples, so I'd better take one more."
"Well, if she likes to take this path, I have no reason not to teach her." Senior Brother Yan said.
Qingzhu looked at me, looked at Senior Brother Yan, and then stopped on Jiaolong's head.
I tiptoed, and the fairy energy floated up to Xiaojiao's head with Qingzhu. Senior brother Li followed suit, and the three of them flew up in the clouds and mist. Qingzhu's ability to adapt was not weak, but he was just a little surprised.
No matter how much I want to fall backwards, I will be supported by a fairy force, as if I am on a soft bed, and I suddenly become happy: "This is not as simple as flying over the eaves and walking over the wall."
"Junior brother, shall we return to the Inner Immortal Sea next?" Senior Brother Yan asked me.
I thought for a while and whispered: "No, we will check the two official roads before and after. Back then, we were in a hurry and thought that the little princess was dead, so we didn't check the surrounding areas. Now, although it has been several years,
, but as long as the little princess is still alive, the clues will definitely not disappear so quickly, and didn’t the senior brother look up the names of those poor children who distributed the money back then? Without the little princess, our direction was wrong from the beginning.
Already."
"This... may be time-consuming and laborious..." Senior Brother Yan sighed and looked at me gratefully.
"It won't take too much time." I said, and Xiaojiao was smart and reached the official road in an instant, and found the first house that could be seen nearby along the way.
"This... this should be the home of Old Man Tian, who is also a vegetable farmer." Senior Brother Yan sighed, looking at the dilapidated house, I still said: "Qingzhu, you stay here with Aunt Xiaojiao, don't be afraid, Auntie is very gentle
.”
Qingzhu agreed, and Senior Brother Yan and I appeared in the blind corner of the room in an instant, walked around to the door, and knocked on the door. As a result, on the third knock, the door panel collapsed completely.
"It has been uninhabited for a long time, and it has become extremely bad." Senior Brother Yan said, I walked into the room and saw the utensils. It was several years ago, and Old Man Tian had disappeared long ago.
At that time, there was a war and chaos, and the entire Guanwai County was in civil war. Who could care about whom? Old man Tian must have been lying dead beside the field for many years.
We immediately walked all the way along the official road and went door to door looking for him. Senior Brother Yan was very familiar with his treasures. Naturally, there were also people who fled and disappeared due to the war and came back. When we saw Senior Brother Yan, we were all surprised and at a loss. But we asked about Xiaojun
Regarding the Lord’s story, he said that during the war, he immediately fled without a trace, and a few years later, he escaped and regained his livelihood.
However, things took a turn for the better when they found an old woman named Hu from the sixth family in the village.
Mrs. Hu is over fifty years old. She has been slumped in bed for the past few years. It was his son who was working in the fields who led us over. As soon as we entered the door, he said: "Mom, look who is here?"
Old Mrs. Hu, who was bedridden, looked shabby and old, but when she saw Senior Brother Yan, she was stunned for a moment, then she sat up, straightened her hair, and murmured: "Brother Yan,
Why did you come now?"
"Military disaster, I have fled. I have something to ask you." Senior Brother Yan's face turned red when he was addressed like this.
"Well, there was a military disaster that year, and my legs and feet were already inconvenient. A liar came to lie to us, saying that there would be bandits crossing the official road, but several families fled to the boundaries of Guanzhong City. I did not flee at that time.
No, the military disaster didn't come, but they escaped, but how many of them were able to come back? You must have been deceived, right? By the way, where are the children?" Mrs. Hu looked at me, then looked behind us,
He should be looking for the little princess.
Back then, the enemy was defeated behind Wujing Mountain, so they did not reach here.
"My child... my child was lost back then. Now that the world is at peace, I can go home. But I asked you what you know..." Senior Brother Yan answered awkwardly. Maybe he was not good at lying.
"Lost? Oh, Lao Yan, you have suffered a lot in the past few years, haven't you? It's not just you. I persuaded several families not to run away, but they didn't believe me. As a result, my wife and children were separated. I didn't care about the children.
I don’t know.” Mrs. Hu glanced at Senior Brother Yan with a resentful look and said, “Then now, besides looking for the child, are there other things?”
"It's nothing else. If you don't know, forget it. I'll look for you elsewhere..." Senior Brother Yan explained quickly, and then took me out. I was confused and wanted to ask a few questions, but Mrs. Hu had already
He got a little angry and said: "Old saying, Wujing Mountain is too far away. Every time you pick vegetables to sell, it's not convenient to go to the market. You can live a poor life with an old lady like me. You didn't listen then, and you won't listen now.
If you listen, you will regret it."
After hearing this, I almost laughed out loud. I didn't expect that this was Senior Brother Yan's admirer back then.
Senior Brother Yan didn't want to listen to the explanation anymore, so he pulled me and suddenly disappeared outside the house, making Mrs. Hu's son keep rubbing his eyes, thinking he was dazzled.
"Go...go to the next house." Senior Brother Yan said awkwardly. I smiled and patted Xiaojiao's head: "Go to the next house and ask, and wait for me. I'll go back and come back in a while."
Xiaojiao couldn't help but tell Brother Yan, and flew away at high speed, but I came to Old Mrs. Hu's house again. When Old Mrs. Hu saw me leaving and coming back, she immediately became energetic and said: "I just said that old man's face
Bo, otherwise I wouldn’t have brought you to be a matchmaker. It’s okay. Just say it, kid. I’m listening. In fact, I also know that Lao Yanqiong often came to see me back then and gave me some dishes that I had and didn’t have at home. Although I know
He meant it and liked him, but he didn't say it and missed this marriage. So if it hadn't been for the war disaster, we would have been together. This time he came, I knew he wanted to find a child and also wanted to continue our relationship. I also
I don’t want any dowry from him, we just want to be together.”
I smiled in my heart, but my expression didn't show the slightest bit. Instead, I asked: "Auntie, I'm not here to seek marriage or matchmaking. I just want to ask what the person who lied to you about the military disaster looked like.
, are there any characteristics or things that remain fresh in your memory?”
"He's not ugly, just like Lao Yan, but he doesn't look like the people around him. He said he was from the police force in the opposite city, but I don't know if that's true... everyone believed him, but I didn't believe him." Hu
The old lady said.
It was as if the fog had cleared up in my mind, and the old lady’s words made the next direction of my search much clearer.
