Chapter 72 The Meng Family

The auction to be held in Jin'an City is the most grand auction in the near future. In order to have a good place to live in Jin'an City that day, Ji Shu and the others decided to rush to Jin'an City a few days in advance.

Jin'an City is not too far from Yiyuan City. If you fly with all your strength, you can reach it in three days.Now there are still eight days before the start, and the days are not too rushed, so the three of them seem to be very leisurely along the way.

When passing through Jiangning City, Ji Shu and others planned to stay here overnight, so the three of them first went to find an inn.But as soon as the three of them entered the inn, they saw that the man named Xie Zhengyan was flattering the woman next to him with a flattering face.At this moment, facing Xie Zhengyan's constant entanglement, she showed a little bored look on her brows, but she still maintained etiquette in every word and deed.

Ji Shu didn't know who this woman was, but Qin Yue and Han Dong knew very well that the person who would make Xie Zhengyan so courteous was not an ordinary woman.This woman is Xie Zhengyan's junior sister, and she is also the eldest lady of the Meng family in Jiangning City - Meng Xuerong.

When we dealt with Moxiu last time, Qin Yue was very unhappy by Xie Zhengyan's words and deeds. Seeing this man trying to curry favor with other girls, Qin Yue was naturally not happy to see Xie Zhengyan pleasing the girl, so he forced himself in With a bar, Ji Shu and others were pulled between Xie Zhengyan and Meng Xuerong, and they also acted like they were very familiar with Xie Zhengyan, chatting with Xie Zhengyan enthusiastically.

In order not to be rude in front of a beautiful woman, Xie Zhengyan had no choice but to hold up a smile and politely deal with Qin Yue.

Although Meng Xuerong was very grateful to Qin Yue and others for their rescue, she felt quite embarrassed by being left out in the cold all the time, so she smiled at Qin Yue and said, "Senior Brother Qin, why do you only talk to your senior brother today, but ignore your little brother?" Sister? Could it be that my younger sister neglected Senior Brother Qin last time?"

"Hey, look at me, why did I remember to exchange feelings with Junior Brother Xie? I left Junior Sister Meng aside, I should fight, I should fight, or this is better, I will treat Junior Sister Meng to eat delicious food , how about making an apology?"

"Senior Brother Qin, my little sister is the host of Jiangning City. How can you, Senior Brother Qin, treat guests? This time, I will be invited by my little sister, but next time my little sister goes to the Yiyuan Sect, Senior Brother Qin, don't let me go." oh!"

"Break an appointment with a beautiful woman, how could Qin do such a rude thing?" So the scene suddenly turned into Qin Yue and Meng Xuerong chatting enthusiastically, while Xie Zhengyan was completely ignored. , and no matter how much he tried to strike up a conversation, those two could be completely ignored with a tacit understanding.

Compared with Xie Zhengyan, Meng Xuerong is obviously more willing to chat with Qin Yue, and the two of them have quite a lot to talk about, the more they talk, the more energetic they become, and even Xie Zhengyan doesn't have the courage to talk anymore, because those two people actually We talked about rouge, gouache, clothes and jewelry, and this kind of topic is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary men.

Meng Xuerong took Ji Shu and others, as well as Xie Zhengyan's juniors, to the Meng Mansion.On the way to Meng's Mansion, Ji Shu suddenly remembered the commission of the ferryman from the Dimensional Turbulent Flow, so Ji Shu directly asked Meng Xuerong for advice: "Ms. Meng, I would like to ask if the Meng family has the right to arrange the Dimensional Disturbance." The ferryman?" All along, Ji Shu kept a low profile and was not noticed by Meng Xuerong. It wasn't until Ji Shu asked her this question that she started to pay attention to Ji Shu, "You came from a small world, right?"

"Yes."

"That's right." Meng Xuerong said calmly: "There are thousands of passages in the big world, and my family guards the passages from the big world to ten small worlds. The people guarding there now seem to be my great-grandfather's. younger brother."

Hearing what Meng Xuerong said, Ji Shu said frankly: "In fact, the thing is like this. When I passed through the turbulent space, the ferryman once asked me to send a message to the Meng family, saying that he was going to leave there and let the Meng family reunite. Send someone to take the ferry." From the storage ring, he took out the token given by the old man and handed it to Meng Xuerong.

Meng Xuerong took the token, checked it carefully, and confirmed that it was indeed from the Meng family, so she said to Ji Shu, "Thank you for your hard work, Junior Brother Ji. When I get home, I will definitely report this matter to my father immediately."

"I'm sorry." After successfully completing other people's commissions, the burden on my body seemed to be a little lighter.

When they arrived at the Meng Mansion, Meng Xuerong asked everyone to drink tea and rest in the side hall, while she immediately took the token to find her father, the current head of the Meng family——Meng Kunguang.

Walking into her father's study, Meng Xuerong handed the token directly to her father. When her father saw the token, his expression immediately changed, "Rong'er, where did you get this?"

Guarding the passages to various worlds is an extremely important task. If a family can guard a passage, it means that this family is considered a relatively powerful family in this big world, and it can also get the tilt of resources.If the passage guarded by the family is occupied or breached, then the situation will be very bad.Now that Meng Kunguang suddenly saw the token of the person guarding the passage, he was naturally very anxious.

"Father, don't be nervous. Our passageway is fine. It's just that the ancestor guarding the passageway asked someone to tell him that he doesn't want to guard the passageway anymore, so let's find someone to replace him." Meng Xuerong hurriedly explained.

After hearing Meng Xuerong's words, Meng Kunguang's complexion did not turn bright, but became even more sad, "The third grandfather doesn't want to guard the passage anymore, what should I do?"

"Father, the ancestor guarded the passage all the year round and couldn't leave. Now it's human to want to come back. Why do you seem so distressed?"

"Rong'er, you don't know that the passage is an important place to enter and exit. It is usually guarded by masters in the Mahayana period, and at worst it must be a late-stage cultivation base. Now in our Meng family, there is no way to find one that meets the requirements. people."

Knowing her father's difficulty, Meng Xuerong said, "If no one can be sent out, and the old ancestor leaves there again, what will happen?"

"That means that our Meng family has voluntarily given up the passage, and it also means that our Meng family will lose the right to mine all the spiritual veins in our hands." Meng Kunguang said solemnly.

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Meng Xuerong also lost her mind for a moment, "Father, let's tell Grandpa Gao about this, maybe he will have some good ideas."

"No, your great-great-grandfather is now at the critical moment of breaking through the fusion period, how can we disturb it easily." Father Meng walked back and forth in the room anxiously.

"Then what to do, why don't you drag the ancestor first?"

"No, no, your ancestor's temperament is very willful. If he can't wait, he will simply leave there and let Jiu Dao Sect send people to guard it again."

"This is not allowed, and that is not allowed. Can we just keep worrying here?"

"By the way, Rong'er, the person who brought the news is at home now?"

"Here I am."

"Hurry up and invite me for my father." Knowing that Ji Shu was at home, Patriarch Meng hurriedly asked his daughter to bring Ji Shu to the study. He wanted to personally ask why the old ancestor suddenly said he wanted to leave there.

As soon as Ji Shu walked into the study, Master Meng enthusiastically asked Ji Shu to sit down and talk, and poured tea for Ji Shu very politely. "Brother Ji, Meng is very grateful to you for bringing such important information to our Meng family. However, changing the channel is not a trivial matter. I would like to ask Brother Ji. Do you know why my ancestor suddenly wanted to leave the channel? thoughts?"

Ji Shu recalled for a while, sorted out his words, and said, "It seems that it's because the person he was waiting for never showed up."

"Waiting for someone?" Patriarch Meng pondered for a moment, then said loudly: "The ancestor must be waiting for Senior Ye, it must be."

"It is indeed a man named Ye Zhanhao."

After confirming that the person waiting was Ye Zhanhao, Patriarch Meng sighed deeply, "Hey, how could it be possible to wait, how could it be possible to wait..."

Seeing Patriarch Meng's expression of losing his composure, and being more concerned about the old man's affairs, Ji Shu rudely asked about the affairs between the two seniors.

"My ancestor was also considered a well-known genius at the time, and was hailed as one of the people most likely to cross the catastrophe and enter the fairyland. However, that era was very turbulent and dangerous. Every big world and small world are Devastating catastrophes occurred to varying degrees. In order to survive the catastrophe, all the monks united together to deal with the ordeal. At that time, the ancestor and his Taoist partner, Senior Ye, both took action, but in the situation of ten crises, Ye Senior and some other monks went to a small world to help the monks there get out of trouble."

"Senior Meng, how did you know that it is impossible for Senior Ye to come back?" Ji Shu asked.

"Of course it's impossible. That small world was too severely affected by the catastrophe. The wall membrane of the entire small world became fragile and could no longer withstand the tearing of any force. At that time, the passage from that small world to the big world It has already been shattered, in order to allow the small world to continue to exist, and for all the lives in the small world to continue, so those who are still alive have made a difficult decision to completely close the small world and let the small world continue to exist. The world is recuperating. But in doing so, it means they can never leave there again."

"You all know this, so why does that senior seem to know nothing about it?"

"My third grandfather had a very deep relationship with that senior Ye, and at that time my grandfather was also afraid that the third grandfather would do something stupid, so he lied to the third grandfather that Senior Ye had agreed with him to meet there after the matter was over, so that the The third grandfather has a concern in his heart, and the news there is not circulating, so he won't know what's really going on for a while."

After learning everything, Ji Shu felt extremely embarrassed, but he was powerless to deal with the situation of the old man and the Meng family.
