falling dust

The old patriarch came to visit Yun Shi the next day, Yun Shi had already heard about the old patriarch from Jiang Lian, and from Jiang Lian's attitude, he knew that the old patriarch treated people very well.

"Is the little girl better?" The old patriarch looked at Yun Shi with concern and asked.

Yun Shi felt that the patriarch was very amiable, and the caring tone seemed to be that the elders in the family were greeting the loved ones, so she lost the nervousness and replied, "Thank you, the patriarch, for saving me. Yun Shi is very grateful."

"The little girl's original name is Yunshi, and her surname is Yun?" the old patriarch brushed the three-inch long white beard on his chin and asked casually.

Yun Shi's expression froze for a moment and then returned to normal, his tone had a hint of firmness that he didn't even realize he said: "It's the surname Yun, the word Shi." After a pause, he said: "Shi Chen's time."

Sensing the resistance on her face, the old patriarch knew that her surname was not really Yun. He thought that she hated her surname so much that she called herself Yun. After learning about the passage of Tan, he asked curiously after learning about the Phoenix Token that opened the passage: "Can you allow me to take a look?"

After all, it was related to the clan, and Yun Shi felt that the patriarch was not bad at all, so he generously took out the Phoenix Token, which Xuezang lost in Youtan, but fortunately, the Phoenix Token was small, so she kept it in her arms and did not lose it.

Yun Shi took out the Phoenix Token, and the old patriarch showed such an expression as expected, Yun Shi asked doubtfully, "The patriarch knows this thing?"

The old patriarch smiled heartily and said: "This is something from my clan, and I will confirm your identity if you take it out this time."

Yun Shi was even more puzzled, and she asked, "My identity?"

"That's right." The old man looked at Yun Shi lovingly, "Your surname should be Shaodian, and your name should be Jingshi."

After running to such a remote place, there are still people who can call out the surname Shaodian. Shaodian is a word she hates in her heart, but she bleeds Shaodian's blood, and she can't change it wherever she goes. The conversation disappeared without a trace, and Yun Shi looked warily at the white-haired patriarch in front of him, with the condensation on his face that only Jiang Lian had in the past.

Seeing her change of face, the old patriarch comforted her and said, "You don't have to be so defensive, there are only two ways to get in and out of this place, one is to open the secret passage with the Phoenix Token, and the other is to be led by someone from my clan. The honored guest of my clan, the clan should regard you as the honored guest, knowing your identity is also the old man who knows the person who held the order before."

Only then did Yun Shi relax a little, and she asked, "This thing is a gift from my mother, do you recognize my mother?"

Hearing the words, the old patriarch's tone was slightly regretful, and he said: "Yes, Yun Lan is also a poor child."

Seeing that he called out his mother's name, Yun Shi believed most of his words, not paying attention to why the word "Ye" was included. She cupped her hands and apologized to the old patriarch: "I was rude just now, and I hope the patriarch will not blame me."

The old patriarch waved his hand to show that he didn't mind, and said, "It's okay, I know you're in pain."

This casually spoken sentence almost made Yun Shi cry. The pain in her heart has never been shared with others. Now, by accident, she has entered this unknown tribe. A wise old man forgave her for her rudeness several times. Yan knew the bitterness in her heart, at this moment she had no doubts, gave a respectful salute, and said: "It's Yun Shi's villain's heart."

The old patriarch smiled: "You and I don't need to see each other like this. In the past, you were persecuted by gangsters and trapped by a curse. Your mother came to me to save you. At that time, I broke the curse according to the notes of the ancestors in the clan. , but never removed the seal, I only recognized you when I saw the seal on your back."

Yun Shi suddenly said: "So that's how it is." She lowered her head with a sad look on her face, and said, "It's just that my mother has been killed."

The old patriarch sighed: "Your mother asked me to help her ten years ago, but at that time, Shaodian Jiyuan led people to attack my clan, and I was really beyond my power. If I hadn't been trapped by him, I would have been able to rescue your mother in time. .”

Yun Shi slapped the table with his palm and said angrily: "The hatred of killing my mother is unshakable. He owes my mother, and I will ask him to get it back one day."

The old patriarch comforted: "The reincarnation of the heavens has its own cause and effect, and the enmity will eventually come to an end. The most important thing now is to undo the curse on your back."

Jiang Lian asked, "Does the patriarch have a solution to the curse?"

"Alas~ To tell you the truth, this curse seal is a curse that has long been lost in ancient times. If you want to find the solution, you have to go back to the source."

The old patriarch pulled Yun Shi with one hand and Jiang Lian with the other. Jiang Lian suppressed the idea of ​​dodging, and let the old patriarch put her hands on Yun Shi's.

He said slowly: "It is recorded in the ancient books of the family that Jiuyou was born when the world first existed. They are nine strange mountains, which are like nine palaces. On Yuyou Mountain, one of the Jiuyou, lived a god and man. 1000 Many years ago, she had passed on the secret art to our ancestors, asking us to guard a formation on her behalf.

The old patriarch shook his head and said with emotion: "It's just that the formation mysteriously disappeared during the clan war, and the four clans fell apart after that. My clan members couldn't find the formation, so they went to the Nine Nethers to guard the mountain for her. That god-man There is no record in the ancient books of the family, if there is a way to break this curse in the world, I will go to Yuyou Mountain to find it, and I want you two to go together."

Jiang Lian was a little surprised and said: "I read it in a book, and the above sentence is actually true."

The old patriarch nodded and said: "Things in the world are both real and illusory. Believe it or not. Things are closely related. Since there is a curse, there is a way to break it."

Yun Shi said bitterly: "If there really are gods and men, they should be like the book, indifferent and difficult to get along with. Even if I found her, so what if she doesn't want to undo my curse."

The old patriarch untied the gossip mirror from his waist and put it in her hand, saying: "This is the patriarch's keepsake to lead the machine disk. It is said that it was given by the god. If you are lucky enough to find the residence of the Goddess Yuyou, she thinks that my clan has guarded Jiuyou for hundreds of years, and she may wish to break your curse, so let's try it."

Yun Shi refused: "I accept the patriarch's wishes, but this thing is too precious..."

The old patriarch interrupted her and said: "Take it, if you can break your curse, your mother will be very happy when she finds out. I am the closest person in the world to her. If I stand idly by her child, I'm afraid I will hurt your mother." heart."

Yun Shi asked, "What is your relationship with my mother?"

The old patriarch stroked his beard in his hand when he put the puller into Yunshi and said with a smile: "This matter is not a secret, but I can't tell you before the time comes. You will know all this after you undo the curse."

In the end, the old patriarch said again: "If you can find the residence of the god-man, she will undo your curse, and teach you a few sets of spells as soon as she is happy, and then you will have the hope of avenging your mother. Shaodian Halberd Yuan can't eat even one move."

The purpose of saying this was to encourage Yunshi to find Yuyou to release his curse seal. As for whether he can find Yuyou, whether there are still gods and men on Yuyou, the old patriarch himself is not sure, after all, nearly a thousand years have passed He was severely injured when he defeated Shaodian Jiyuan, and he is still recuperating. Now there is only a vague method to solve the curse, but he will not let Yun Shi give up even if there is a glimmer of hope.

Sure enough, when it was about Mother Yunshi, she was very motivated. She asked: "Patriarch, you should know what curse mark is in my body, otherwise, what kind of sealing method should I find?"

Hearing the words, the old patriarch frowned and hesitated for a moment and said: "I don't know what the name of this curse is. If you find a god, you don't need to say that you can tell it at a glance. It's okay if you don't know."

Although Yun Shi was slightly puzzled, he didn't show it. He just put the reel in his chest and bowed deeply to the old patriarch to express his gratitude.

"Okay, during this time you will be raised in the clan. If you are bored, you can walk around at will. There is no scenery outside the clan. It is getting late and I will leave." The old patriarch signaled that they don't have to see each other and turned to walk into the twilight.

After the old patriarch left, Yun Shi fell silent. She sat at the table and thought about what she had heard from the old patriarch today. Naturally, she did not suspect that he had evil intentions, but wondered what the relationship between him and his mother made him so generous. The patriarch's token was so easily given to others, only now did she realize that in the few years, she just enjoyed her mother's pampering, but she never noticed whether there was a ray of sadness hidden in those extremely beautiful eyes.

Looking back now, she didn't know anything about her mother's past, and she had mixed feelings in her heart. She reached out and took out the camcorder, put it in front of her eyes and stared blankly for a long time. The look of helplessness, annoyance, and remorse just now when he raised his eyes has long since disappeared, replaced by a kind of firmness.

Seeing that she had thought it through, Jiang Lian asked in relief, "Do you want to go outside for a walk?"

I was already tired of being bored in the cloud in the room every day, so I naturally agreed to Jiang Lian's proposal.

It was the first time Yunshi saw the scenery outside the courtyard of the clan. It seemed that what the old patriarch said was true. The scenery in this clan was indeed unique. The courtyard where they lived was a little distance from the residences of the clan, and it was very quiet. .

Seeing Yun Shi and Jiang Lian walking side by side, the medical girl hurriedly followed. She was in charge of regulating Yun Shi's body, and the old patriarch's exhortations never forgot her.

Yun Shi inadvertently turned around and saw her following behind, she smiled slightly and waved: "Young lady, do you want to go see the scenery together?"

The girl met her smiling face and said calmly: "The patriarch ordered me to take care of you. Now that your body has not recovered, you still want me to rest assured."

It seems that the old patriarch has a very high prestige in the clan, Yun Shi chuckled and said: "The house is boring, I heard that the patriarch said that the scenery in this clan is unique, so I want to see it, but the tired girl has worked hard."

Seeing that her tone was gentle, the girl threw away the formality of facing strangers and smiled back: "It's not tiring."

"The girl's name?" Yun Shi asked the girl's name very generously. The old patriarch was friendly and kind, and the people in the clan must not be bad. This girl is not only careful and caring, but also has a simple and pure smile. She doesn't want to address her Pull up for a long distance.

The girl approached them and replied, "Li You"

"I, Yun Shi, she...Jiang Lian" Yun Shi glanced at Jiang Lian and saw that she was not unhappy that he told others her name.

Since the three of them reported their names to each other, they looked at the landscape of the clan and listened to Li You's description all the way like friends. Jiang Lian didn't like to talk, but listened carefully to the two of them asking and answering, and it was not boring.

Presumably the old patriarch had explained it, so Yunshi didn't ask what kind of clan it was, but he knew that this clan was in Jiuyou, but the entrance and exit were extremely secret and because of the formation that often changed its position, ordinary people Can't find it here at all.
