Chapter 18 Withering
A moment after Zhou Qingmu left, a man with disheveled clothes and a vicissitudes of face suddenly appeared in front of the Tang Mansion. He stood at the door of the Tang Mansion and shouted, "Tang Wensheng, come out and see me!"
When the servants and guards at the gate of the Tang Mansion saw this man like this, they naturally did not dare to let him go and stopped in front of the Tang Mansion. The vicissitudes of life man in disheveled clothes just waved his sleeves and robes when he saw this. These guards and servants were all
A deep and terrifying power struck the ground.
Putting aside the servants of the Tang Mansion for the time being, these guards guarding the Tang Mansion are almost at least strong in the Bone Building Realm, and even some of them are in the Lingfu Realm. But even if they activate the whole body's true energy, in the face of this vicissitudes of life who is unattractive and disheveled,
The middle-aged people waved their sleeves slightly, feeling a sense of powerlessness in their hearts. But what puzzled these guards was that the guy in front of them looked like a mortal. After living in Xiu Shuang City for many years, he did not
I heard about this person. To say the least, even though the person in front of me is a reclusive and reclusive man, his appearance is really hard to believe!
After the vicissitudes of life man repelled the people who blocked his way, he stood up and flew straight to the Tang Mansion lobby. When he was about to arrive at the Tang Mansion lobby, an old man in black stepped out of the lobby to block this man.
A man who has experienced vicissitudes of life. The visitor is none other than Tang Mansion’s chief steward, Tang Zhenlou!
Seeing this, the vicissitudes of life man's face did not show any ups and downs. He just kicked Tang Zhenlou directly on the chest. The old man of Tang Mansion, whose cultivation realm was at least above the Qi Condensation realm, was actually hit by this
He was kicked backwards and hit the pillar in front of the lobby, vomiting blood.
At this moment, several powerful auras that were not inferior to Tangzhen Tower suddenly appeared in the Tang Family, and one or two of them were even higher than Tangzhen Tower.
At this time, in the lobby, the head of the Tang family sent a message.
"Senior, what do you mean by rushing into my Tang family?"
The vicissitudes of life man just glanced at Tang Zhenlou, who was standing on the pillars in front of the lobby to calm down, and then shouted angrily at the lobby, his voice resounding throughout every part of Tang Mansion. Those few breaths hidden in the darkness, here
It became a little stronger.
"Come out and talk to me!"
In a moment, Tang Wensheng flew from the Tang family hall to the vicissitudes of life man standing in the air.
Tang Wensheng hesitated for a moment, looked at the person in front of him and said, "Senior, what exactly does this mean?"
The vicissitudes of life man stared at the most powerful aura in the dark, with disdain on his face, then stared at Tang Wensheng and said coldly: "Why do you want to drive away that child?"
After Tang Wensheng heard this, he suddenly realized. But before, he never thought that that mountain boy would have such an unfathomable teacher in this embroidered city.
Although Tang Wensheng didn't know how to explain it for a moment, but after a moment, he calmly said truthfully to the vicissitudes of life in front of him: "I, Tang Wensheng, am ignorant. I never thought that the child actually had such a teacher. If the senior came here for this purpose,
, I would like to apologize."
The vicissitudes of life man sneered, looked at a certain roof, and said angrily: "You are extremely stupid. You have been seeking a way to save your daughter's life for many years, but now you personally drive away the person who can save your daughter's life. Although your concerns
It’s not unreasonable, but you shouldn’t be so arrogant! Forget it, it’s destiny. I also remind you that the disaster in Duanyao Mountain has gradually become dangerous. Remember the mission given to you by Dao Sect! Guard this city, my Dao Sect’s land should not
Infested by some reptiles!"
After saying that, the vicissitudes of life man turned around and walked out.
Drive away the person who can save your daughter's life with your own hands!
Remember the mission given to you by Daomen!
When Tang Wensheng heard this, his heart was filled with regret and guilt. Did he really let go of his daughter's hope with his own hands?
"Why are you frustrated? Of course there is hope, if the purple spirit blood ginseng that absorbed his blood hasn't been thrown to the dogs by you."
Before Tang Wensheng could think more, the vicissitudes of a middle-aged man's voice rang in his ears again.
Zhou Qingmu and Tang Zijin, who were far away, naturally didn't know all this.
...
Zhou Qingmu saw that the inn door was open and walked in, but there was no sign of the innkeeper. So he found an open space and began to practice sword moves.
It wasn't until Zhou Qingmu was sweating profusely from practicing and sat down at a wooden table that the innkeeper with messy clothes and a vicissitudes of life slowly returned.
When Zhou Qingmu saw the innkeeper coming back, he quickly waved to him.
When the innkeeper saw him, he looked unhappy and said, "You can't find the sword I asked you to find, and I haven't ordered any tea. Why are you sitting down? Leave quickly."
Zhou Qingmu said solemnly: "Shopkeeper, I'm here to ask you something."
The innkeeper sat down near the door of the inn and said without changing his expression: "If you ask anything, you must order tea. Otherwise, leave quickly and don't affect my business."
Zhou Qingmu couldn't help but sigh when he heard this. This innkeeper is really extraordinary. Zhou Qingmu immediately took out a few copper coins from his sleeves, looked at the innkeeper and said, "Innkeeper, just bring me the cheapest tea."
Seeing this, the innkeeper just glanced at the few coins on the table in front of Zhou Qingmu and said solemnly: "The few pennies you have are not enough for a pot of tea here."
Zhou Qingmu never thought that the innkeeper would say this. In his impression, the few pennies he spent to buy a pot of the cheapest tea was completely enough.
Seeing the appearance of the young man in front of him, the innkeeper said: "Ten pennies, not a penny less. If you can't get it out, you'd better leave."
When Zhou Qingmu heard this, he hesitated for a moment, then took out a few more coins from his sleeves with a pained look on his face.
Seeing this, the innkeeper got up and went inside to boil water. After a while, he walked out. The innkeeper walked to Zhou Qingmu, sat on the table, looked at the few copper plates, but did not accept them.
The middle-aged man with a vicissitudes of life just picked up one of them, played with it in his hand, and said: "Zhou Qingmu, don't worry about why I know your name. I have a condition. If you can agree, I will only charge you a penny."
Money, everything you want to know, I will tell you exactly. Will you do this deal or not?"
After hearing this, Zhou Qingmu lowered his head and stroked the Immortal Burial Sword on his lap, then raised his head and looked at the innkeeper and asked, "What are the conditions?"
The innkeeper glanced at the ancient sword on the young man's leg, and said: "Seven years, I want you to return to this city today, seven years from now, and go to Duanyao Mountain to help me get the sword again. Don't doubt me yet.
Ask, you just need to answer me, do you do it or not?"
Zhou Qingmu did have a lot of doubts in his heart, but after hearing this, he felt that it was not too much, and it was even much easier than what the innkeeper asked him to do before. Now he is just ready to embark on the path of cultivation and face the consequences.
The bandits on the Monster Mountain have more than enough ambition but not enough strength, let alone finding a sword from their hands.
So Zhou Qingmu agreed to this condition after just thinking for a moment. The innkeeper just let out a long sigh after hearing the young man's affirmative answer.
After he put away the copper plate, he turned to Zhou Qingmu and said softly, "Just ask whatever you want."
Zhou Qingmu was quite in disbelief and asked, "There are no other conditions."
The innkeeper was a little impatient: "If you ask, just ask, why is there so much nonsense?"
"Shopkeeper, do you know where Mr. Ye is now?" Zhou Qingmu said without hesitation.
When the disheveled man heard this question, he couldn't help but frown and cursed: "How do I know where that bastard Ye Jing'an has gone? I'm just the shopkeeper of a small inn."
As soon as he said this, a place where wooden boxes and sundries were piled up in the inn shook.
Zhou Qingmu had no choice but to say after hearing this: "The shopkeeper should give me a map to the Confucian and Taoist Academy. I think I have to go to the Confucian and Taoist Academy to see Mr. Ye."
Upon hearing this, the innkeeper took out a brand new roll of drawings from his sleeve and placed it on the table. He frowned and asked, "Don't you have anything else to ask?"
Seeing this, Zhou Qingmu packed up the copper plates and drawings on the table and stood up and walked out. As he walked, he said: "I think the shopkeeper shouldn't know about the other questions I want to ask. I won't bother the shopkeeper too much. I'd rather
Let’s go on our way first. Thanks to the shopkeeper for the map!”
Hearing this, Ye Jing'an almost spat out blood as he looked at Zhou Qingmu's back.
...
After Tang Zijin saw Zhou Qingmu leave, he also returned to the Tang Mansion.
In the Tang Mansion, outside Tang Zijin's boudoir, Tang Wensheng and a maid carrying a wooden tray stood at the door looking at Tang Zijin's rather lonely figure.
Tang Zijin saw his father standing at the door of the boudoir and shouted: "Dad."
That day, Tang Wensheng, who was originally unwilling to give his daughter these useless elixirs, repeatedly asked Tang Zijin to take them.
After that day, Tang Zijin, who often went to Yanlianchi alone, rarely went there again. Tang Wensheng held a high-level meeting of the Tang family and asked the Tang family to practice diligently and increase their strength while refining weapons and doing business. Three days later, Tang Wensheng
The head of the family, Tang Wensheng, announced to the outside world that he would no longer have any contact with the Duanyao Immortal Sect and that they would be irreconcilable!
But the head of the Tang family may or may not know that his little daughter quietly escaped from the Tang mansion in the dark of the night and ended up unknown.
...
At the same time that the Tang family released the news, within the Qian family.
Qian Shihong, the head of the Qian family, had a complex expression on his face as he sat in the lobby of the Qian family and drank cup after cup of tea.
After burning the incense, Qian Shaowei, the second son of the Qian family with a calm face, walked in and knelt heavily in front of his father.
Later, there were rumors in the city that Qian Shaowei, a descendant of a family who used to be domineering in Xiu Shuang City, went to a certain spiritual sect in the Dahong Dynasty and did not return for many years.
...
In an alley somewhere in Xiu Shuang City, there was a house where a man had died. A woman wearing plain clothes with many patches and a child who had not yet seen the world, wearing plain clothes, hugged each other and cried.
A man also dressed in plain clothes stood outside the door with red eyes, but he did not dare to take a step inside.
A son of a certain aristocratic family came to the door and looked at the lonely mother and son who depended on each other. He just stood outside the door and burned three sticks of incense, bowed, put down a few pieces of silver, and turned to leave.
A few days later, some idle men saw a lot of money outside the woman's house but no one cared about it. They secretly took it away, but they were bumped into by a man named Li Chu. Li Chu was full of anger and stepped forward to stop him. Unexpectedly, he was outnumbered by these men.
Knocked to the ground.
Later, no one lived in this yard anymore. It was said that the poor couple died on a snowy day. No one knew whether they died of starvation or freezing. This matter was mostly told by the old people after dinner.
