Chapter One
The filthiness in the past is not worth praising, but now the unrestrained thoughts are endless.
The spring breeze is so proud that the horse's hooves are fast, and you can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.
On the southwest official road, two fast horses were running fast, and the horse's hooves were slid, and countless dust was raised on the side of the road. The pedestrians on the road saw the two young men in bright clothes and angry horses, subconsciously spitting on the ground, and cursing fiercely: "Bah, I don't know which playboy is, I'm really heartless..."
The two guys who were scolded as playboys were not at all aware of themselves. They raised their whips in their hands and whipped their horses hard.
Seeing the surrounding scenery constantly retreating, they felt extremely happy.
There was a great man in ancient times, named Xiang Yu, the King of Chu. After this brother captured Xianyang, someone advised him to establish his capital here. However, because he missed his hometown, Xiang Yu was eager to return to the east, so he told others, saying, "Wealth and honor will not return to our hometown, like walking in the night with a bright night, who knows it!"
In other words, I finally managed to do something big, but my family didn't know how uncomfortable it would be if I couldn't even pretend to be a Boy?
The two on the horse, one was born in Hedong, Xuzhou, and the other was a native of the northwest, but since they were sensible, they have been wandering around the southwest area for work. In the end, they are still in this land full of mountains and forests and dangerous roads.
So when the little carpenter was in Ganjiabao in the northwest, he saw the majestic building and blood-connected relatives, but he had no sense of belonging.
Because he was used to listening to the light and gentle southwest accent, and speaking in his dreams, he was always in this tone.
It is engraved in the bones and can no longer be changed.
The two of them left Shanghai Beach, went south and then headed west, and it had been more than half a month.
During this period, the little carpenter was not bored.
It was even the most relaxing and comfortable period he had in recent years. After all, he would tease the tiger-skinned fat cat when he had nothing to do, and then rush to the road. Whenever he went to a downtown dock, he would go to find local food. As for the road, he was with Qu Menghu, the two of them had endless things to say.
In addition to chatting around the mountains, south, sea and north, and talking nonsense, the most common thing between the two is actually the matter of practice.
Qu Menghu's path of cultivation is very wild, combining China and the West, and using formations to enter the Tao. The focus is on how to use the rules of heaven and earth to face the enemy, and try not to fight against the enemy as much as possible, but to use various advantages to eventually create an unstoppable situation.
Of course, the main reason why he was able to do this was, in the words of the little carpenter, that is, "smart brains."
If a person like Qu Menghu was placed in ancient times, he would definitely be a big bull like Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen.
It’s a pity that he was born in such an era and was wandering in the world.
As for the little carpenter, what he learned was quite mixed - the swordsmanship came from Xiong Cao, a famous swordsman in Miaojiang, and the foundation for his practice came from the "All Dharma Return to the Sect" in the Luban Secret Book of Luban. Later, he learned the "Lingxiao Yin Ce" by the Ghost King Wu Jiageng. He combined the directors of the two schools and received guidance from many wise masters. Later, in the northwest, he also realized the secret of swordsmanship from Nalan, the hero of the underworld. In addition, President Shen sent him six volumes of the secret collection of Western Xia...
In the past, the little carpenter was a hodgepodge. He seemed to know everything, but it was difficult to reach the peak in the end.
However, his cultivation level, especially his "breaking and establishing" after enlightening the gods, integrated all these lessons and finally formed his own set of practice systems.
And it's brand new, which is hard to guess.
After all, such a knowledge system and personal experience are unique in the world.
As time goes by, the little carpenter's understanding of this world has become deeper and deeper, and his knowledge is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary people.
His progress was getting faster and faster every day, so fast that Qu Menghu was "jealous" about it.
Such two people are together and talking about practice, it is easy to spark. All kinds of inspiration and understanding are like a kind of sleep that can't be enough to sleep...
But later on, Qu Menghu was reluctant to sleep with the little carpenter.
Because he could feel that after the little carpenter's realm was improved, no matter how Qu Menghu hid his aura, that guy seemed to be able to see him thoroughly.
This feeling is like being peeped at.
No one can stand this matter, let alone the arrogant Qu Menghu?
So later, the two talked less about practicing, and more about gossip. The little carpenter naturally asked Qu Menghu’s previous words about the organization he was about to join...
Qu Menghu was not willing to talk about this. He had only one sentence after all, that is, he did not agree with the concepts and ideas of some people there. However, in this era, if you want to do things, you will definitely not be able to fight alone. Humans are social animals and must unite all forces in order to achieve their own ideas...
In addition to this topic, what they talked the most was about Qu Menghu’s enemy.
Cheng Lanting.
This leader of the Yucheng Pao Brothers Association, formerly Master Cheng Wu, appeared to be a kind person and welcomed him and sent him to the world. He is considered to be a tycoon in the southwest road with a very good reputation.
Qu Menghu's father, Xiao Mengchang, the wine king Qu Tianxia and Cheng Wuye at that time, were also close to each other, only half a step away from the brothers of the betrothal. The two families had a lot of business dealings and private interactions on weekdays.
Later, after the incident happened to the Qu family, the fifth master Cheng was said to have rushed over from Yucheng as soon as possible and helped deal with the funeral...
Logically speaking, the massacre between him and the Qu family was completely out of reach.
But Qu Menghu searched out the truth hidden in the dust of history bit by bit during the difficult investigation, and finally determined that the murderer who killed his parents and dozens of people in the Qu family at that time, a total of six families. The main messenger behind the scenes was Cheng Wuye, who was close to his father.
As for why that guy was like this, Qu Menghu had no way of knowing it. Perhaps only by taking down Cheng Lanting can we know the final truth.
Qu Menghu had already investigated this matter when he appeared in Jinguan City. As for the time ahead, he was constantly improving his strength and verifying the matter as strictly as possible, so that there would be no mistakes.
And now, Qu Menghu feels that the time has come.
Before heading to Yucheng, Qu Menghu and the little carpenter rode a horse and returned to Xuzhou first.
Back to Xuzhou, I came to a village east of Nanguang River.
This place is only a dozen miles away from the city. It is considered a large village with a population of thousands. There are mainly two surnames in the village, one surname is Qu, and the other surname is Tian.
The two of them rode their horses to the east bank of the river. Looking at the side of the river, there was a huge dilapidated water truck. Most of it was burned and had not been running. The Qu family mansion not far away was repaired, but the large area of wasteland could still see the loneliness of these years.
The little carpenter pointed to the open space in the distance and said, "The wine king restaurant I built with my master has been burned out..."
Qu Menghu nodded and said, "I was not here at that time. Later, I heard that the fire had been burning for three days and three nights. No matter how water was used, it was not extinguished. Finally, the clan members dug a fire prevention channel between the village and my house, so that it did not affect the village..."
The little carpenter pointed to a row of new houses built on the original site of the Qu family mansion and said, "Who is living there?"
Qu Menghu said: "Some poor relatives in the clan who were not out of five squads, and there were also several distant relatives. Later, I returned here and found that the land of my Qu family has been divided up for the clan and the winery was sold. At that time, my distant cousin and clan leader told me that they thought I was dead and our family had been lost, so the money and land were used to help poor relatives in the clan, and some of them were taken out to build the clan ancestral hall... They were afraid that I would make trouble, so they told me that the construction of the ancestral hall was also to worship ancestors, including my parents, brothers and sisters..."
Speaking of these past events, Qu Menghu seemed very calm and there was no obvious expression of emotions on his face, but the little carpenter knew that Qu Menghu was just a young man at that time, and he had no ability to show his skills. He had no way to do this situation.
He must have suffered a grievance.
So later he went to Nanyang.
The two stopped for a while, then Qu Menghu released the tiger-skinned fat cat and asked it to wander around. He took the little carpenter and headed straight to the Qu family ancestral hall in the village.
Because this village is close to the city and is a large family, the architectural style of the village is relatively good, and the best building is the newly renovated Qu Family Ancestral Hall. After all, Qu Tianxia has such a huge industry and a lot of wealth, so with such money, it is impossible to build this ancestral hall without being grand.
The two stopped on the flat ground paved with blue bricks in front of the ancestral hall, tied the horse, and walked straight into the ancestral hall.
The ancestral hall was very grand. When I entered and left, there was an old man with dizzy eyes guarding the door. When he saw the two of them coming in, he hurried over to stop them, and then shouted: "Who are you? What are you doing? Stop - do you know where is this?"
The other party was aggressive, and Qu Menghu said calmly: "Nine Uncle, it's me, Qu Menghu."
The old man's eyes were filled with eye poop and his mind was still confused. When he heard Qu Menghu report to his house, he was still confused: "What's Qu?"
Qu Menghu ignored him and walked straight to the hall hall.
The old man behind followed him, but could not stop the little carpenter and Qu Menghu, and asked them to come to the hall hall. On the main hall, there were tablets of the ancestors of the Qu family. There was an eternal light in front of the spirit, which was quite imposing for a momentum.
The little carpenter looked at it curiously, and then he saw that Qu Menghu's face suddenly became ugly.
At this time, the old man also followed in. At this time, he remembered Qu Menghu and laughed and said, "So it's my nephew Menghu? It's really been a long time since I saw you..."
He was laughing with him, but Qu Menghu ignored him at all, and said with a frosty face: "Nine Uncle, where are the spiritual positions of my parents and family? Where have you gone?"
Hearing this, the little carpenter looked horrified.
Qu Menghu's family, the tablets are not here?
