Tianyi

Chapter 18 Brown Clothes (5)

"That's natural," Xue Yi replied: "Back then, there was a rumor in the world that the prince would take action, and there was no treasure that could not be retrieved, and there was no head that could not be cut off. Twenty years ago, the hungry ghost who hid in Qiqiao's enclosure finally ended up He was beheaded by the owl. Nearly a hundred family members of the 20 families who suffered were gathered together in front of the demolished Qiqiao Enclosed House and kowtowed to the earthen cave where the prince escaped. This kind of heroic scene can still be seen today. No one can compare.”

"Although I am just guessing, it is like seeing it with my own eyes. The sect master is really powerful." The old man praised, and then said: "But it was because there was too much noise that time, and the dark ghost enemy was provoked, and he actually wanted to kill me. Immediately afterwards The business that I came down with was actually a trap that was deliberately designed to kill me. I fell into the trap and was trapped by the ghost. I was fooled and lost the opportunity. I had to fight with the ghost. At the critical moment, I used the turning cone. The first time I misfired, I actually hurt an innocent woman, but because of this, I got a chance to escape, so I wouldn't die with the dark ghost."

"That woman is my master, right? Who is that dark ghost?" Xue Yi rolled her eyes and asked softly.

"It seems that your master has never told you a word." The old man nodded and said: "Your master will appear at critical moments, but in fact he has been deceived by the dark ghost. Speaking of which, the dark ghost I should be considered the enemy of your Tianyi Sect. In order to keep my secret, your master didn’t even tell you who the enemy is. Alas, your master is the woman I respect the most in my life. Before, I suspected that your master was mine. wrong."

"Back then, your master recognized at a glance that I was the one fighting with the dark ghost, and immediately rushed over. Because I was at a critical moment, I mistakenly thought that the other party had come to help, and before I had time to take a closer look, I fired the hidden weapon. Your master fought hard He took a tap from me, forcefully received the palm of the dark ghost, led him to one side, and I added another tap. When the dark ghost saw that your master broke his trap, he didn't dare to fight anymore and ran away with his injuries. "

The old man stopped to take a sip of tea and continued: "I was seriously injured and could no longer fight, but I was unwilling to leave your master to die innocently. Therefore, I would rather have my vitality damaged, so I still used my special skills. , took her to escape. When she and I escape, I will make an agreement with her that this matter will never be spread outside. I hurt her and saved her, and I am even with your Tianyi Sect. But you The master said that she taught the dark ghost the trap, and even though she came to rescue her, she still felt sorry for me. Since I spent my energy to save her, then even if the Tianyi Sect owes me a debt, if she has no chance To pay off the debt, I can also ask her apprentice to collect the debt in the future.”

"After this battle, I have lost all my skills. I am afraid that I will not be able to recover in ten years. If I leak any information, I am afraid that I will be chased by the dark ghost immediately. I will not survive for three days at all. Your master said that she used the Tianyi Sect to As the sect leader, she swore that she would never reveal the inside story to anyone unless I told about this old incident myself first. After that, she advised me to live in seclusion, saying that the turmoil in the world should end here, and I should go next Just live a good life."

"Hey, I think back in those days, you little girls didn't know where you were. Just by your master, the Tianyi Sect has become quite famous in the world. It is said that the master of the Tianyi Sect, Mrs. Tianyi , is the smartest and kindest woman in the world, with unparalleled craftsmanship and helping countless people. I listened to her reasonable advice, so I really accepted her advice and retired, finding a remote and safe place to rebuild my skills, marry a wife and have children. , I really live a good life in a down-to-earth manner. Now 20 years have passed, I thought that the dark ghost was dead long ago and there is no more trouble. "

Xue Yi bit her lip, shook her head slightly, and listened intently, but did not answer.

The old man took another sip of tea and continued: "That's it. Although I started a family late, my son was born not too late. A year and a half ago, when my son was one year old, I hired three matchmakers and six beauties for him to marry him. I am a wife of a young lady from a neighboring gentleman's family. It is time for the weather to be smooth. As the saying goes, if a girl is a junior, she will hold a gold brick. When my daughter-in-law comes into the house, she will be happy. More than half a year ago, she gave birth to a big fat grandson for me. She is so happy. I just feel that everything in this life is enough..."

"I was still thinking at that time that this all depends on your master's advice to me. Moreover, I have fully recovered my skills. After my grandson turns one year old, I might as well go out for a walk. Although Aunt Tianyi is no longer here, But with your Tianyi Sect, I might still be able to catch up on old times. At that time, I never thought that I would actually come to your Tianyi Sect to collect debts in this life. I originally planned to let your master owe you for the rest of his life. of."

"I never imagined that something bad would happen on the night when my grandson and grandson were drinking for a full moon." The old man looked angrily, holding the tea cup tightly in his hands, and said, "The baby is still too young, and my daughter-in-law can't withstand the wind. Therefore, we did not make any publicity about hosting a banquet. That evening, only the two in-laws came to my house. Including my family members, including the little grandson held by my daughter-in-law, there were only seven cages in total. Even the servants had dispersed. . My wife cooked the food herself, and my son and his mother-in-law helped. No outsiders were allowed to interfere. Our whole family had a family dinner in the flower hall of the side courtyard where my son lived. "

"That night, everyone was very happy. My parents-in-law and I had to drink a few more drinks. I was too lazy to go back to my room, so I simply stayed in the guest room in the side courtyard and slept on the bed with my parents-in-law. When the disaster happened, I The two were half-drunk and not really asleep. They could chat casually, but they never heard the slightest movement in the side courtyard."

"Because I stayed in the guest room, my wife and my mother-in-law went back to the main courtyard to rest. My house is a spacious courtyard with two entrances. It takes half an hour to walk back to the main courtyard from the side courtyard where my son lives. Originally, the side courtyard The courtyard is inside, and the main courtyard is outside. In terms of safety and security, it is still a side courtyard. There are three servants in my family who are doing chores, and I sent them out of the side courtyard. They are all guarding the main courtyard. The side courtyard is There was no one around to help, so the two old ladies were not at ease when they walked out to the main courtyard by themselves. My son was filial, held the lamp, and personally sent the two mothers there, back and forth, and it only lasted a quarter of an hour. , in such a small amount of time, something bad could happen."

Xue Yi frowned and said softly: "Grandpa is still careless. Although 20 years is a long time, there is no definite whereabouts of that dark ghost back then. The more relaxed you are, the more opportunities you will give others to take advantage of."

The old man stared at Xue Yi and sighed: "Because I was afraid of leaking the news, I didn't dare to get involved in anything related to Tianyi Sect in the past 20 years. Even when Aunt Tianyi passed away, I didn't show up. I was afraid that the dark ghost would know that I was still alive here. In the world. It was only after my son got married that I finally relaxed and inquired about some news in the world. I found out that you had succeeded me as the head of the sect, but I also heard that Tianyi Courtyard had closed its doors. Alas, if I had known that I could not avoid this disaster, why would I have Being so cautious, Aunt Tianyi’s successor is smarter than her, I should have come and sat in your Tianyi courtyard a long time ago.”

"Grandpa is ridiculous, how dare Xueyi compare with Master," Xueyi waved his hands and said, "I'm just a little clever, I can easily get myself into trouble, and now I don't even dare to act rashly... Like me, I can speak casually and show off my edge, attracting attention. No one can compare with my master, who is as skillful as clumsy and has great wisdom."
