Faraway Wanderers

The old man turned his ears to them and twitched nervously. The chains on his body made a "squeaky" sound with his movements. Zhang Chengling pulled Zhou Zishu secretly, and asked in a low voice, "Master... that chain, is it?" Did it penetrate his lute bone?"

Zhou Zishu "hush" him, and looked over with a frown - he found that the chain on the old man's body was not wrapped around him, but passed through, from the lute bone, from the kneecap, the wound was so rotten that only the chain was left. Bones, Zhou Zishu felt, it's not easy to be alive like this.

The stench in the house was overwhelming, and there was defecation everywhere. The clothes on the old man's body had long lost their original color, and they couldn't even cover their bodies.He opened his mouth, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time, his words were slow and vague, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Who are you... Where is Long...Xiao?"

Ye Baiyi asked: "Is Long Xiao a paralyzed man in a wheelchair? He's dead——who are you?"

Hearing the words, the old man was stunned for a long time, then suddenly opened his mouth wide, his face seemed to show a big laugh expression, but he didn't make a sound, and then a few muddy tears slowly oozed from the corners of his eyes, which fell down instantly, and then gone.Ye Baiyi ignored him, just squatted down, studied the pile of iron chains on his body, and let him laugh and cry like crazy.

After a while, Ye Baiyi stretched out his hand to Zhou Zishu and said, "Bring me your sword and I will use it."

Zhou Zishu knew that he wanted to split the iron chain with the white sword, so he untied it and handed it up. Ye Baiyi took the white sword and chopped it down at an iron chain. There wasn't even a gap, but the white sword in his hand was trembling.

It hurts to see Zhou Zishu.

The old man suddenly said: "You don't need to... use your energy, it's useless."

Ye Baiyi then asked: "What did you do to make that paralytic hate you so much?"

The old man was silent for a while, then said: "I did...the only thing I'm sorry for him is to support his... son."

Several people looked at each other, this time they knew why Ye Baiyi said "Unless you are Longque's son", Long Xiao became angry on the spot - this old foodie is simply amazing, he can tell such unimaginable things middle.

After a long while, Wen Kexing asked suddenly: "You said his name is Long...couldn't it be filial piety?"

Zhou Zishu felt that he really didn't know which pot to open and which pot to lift, so he poked him with his elbow.Wen Kexing didn't dare to hide, he suffered it, and looked at him pitifully rubbing his ribs.

The old man laughed hoarsely and said, "In my previous life, I committed murder and arson. I will be punished in this life!"

The old man leaned against the bedpost, stretched out his hand like an orange peel, and rubbed the bedpost once and for all. After talking for a while, his tongue seemed to be a little bit sharper, and said: "This is the bedroom where Yu Zhui and I used to live. Animals were born here. Thinking about it, my husband and I both died at his hands. Hey, isn’t it fate?”

Zhou Zishu then asked in a warm voice: "Is Yu Zhui a respected lady?"

The face of the old man is really horrible, the beauty, ugliness, sadness and joy can no longer be discerned, but when the word "Yu Zhui" is mentioned, the furrowed face seems to have loosened a lot, and a tear is still stuck on his face. In the deep wrinkles at the corners of the mouth, the twinkling, but not falling, he sighed: "Because there is no child, after Yu Zhui is gone, I built a puppet village and dismissed the servants..."

Zhang Chengling glanced at Wen Kexing in surprise, and felt more and more that Senior Wen was so amazing that he even said this right, only to hear the old man continue: "I promised Yu Zhui that I will raise that little animal well, but He was born unable to stand up, so I gave all I have learned in my life, thinking that even if he has no other skills, he still has the ability to settle down, alas!"

Ye Baiyi asked: "Since that's the case, why did he want to imprison you?"

The whole body of the old man trembled, and after a long silence, he whispered, "It's for the book of Yin and Yang."

Except for Zhang Chengling, the other three looked at the half-dead old man without blinking. Zhou Zishu couldn't help but asked softly, "Is it... Madam Rong's yin and yang book?"

The old man nodded, and said slowly: "Life and death, reversing yin and yang—"

The legendary divine doctor Gu Sacred Relic has all kinds of difficult and miscellaneous diseases in the world. The green monster expects it to heal his face. Who else desires it more than a paralyzed person with great ambition?

Zhou Zishu's mind turned very quickly, and he asked: "Didn't the book of Yin and Yang, together with Fengshan Sword and Liuhe Xinfa, be sealed into the Liulijia back then? Could it be that he thinks the Liulijia is with you?"

"Glass armor?" The old man sneered, shook his head, and said, "You guys are all wrong. I made that glaze armor back then, but it's just a lock. If you want to get what's sealed inside, you need five pieces of glaze armor. It doesn't work, even six pieces, seven pieces and eight pieces don't work, it still lacks a 'key'."

Ye Baiyi raised his eyebrows: "Is the key in your hand?"

The old man said blankly: "I didn't.

Ye Baiyi asked: "If it's not in your hands, who else could it be?"

The old man smiled self-deprecatingly: "Yes, if you don't believe it, he won't believe it either."

Zhou Zishu looked at him for a while, then suddenly asked: "Senior Long, do you know who has the key?"

The old man turned to face Zhou Zishu, as if he could see him, nodded and said: "Yes, I know - I swore back then that no one can tell anyone about the whereabouts of the key, Long Xiao... ...Long Xiao is crazy."

Ye Baiyi narrowed his eyes and asked aggressively: "So, what happened to Rong Xuan and others 30 years ago, are you an insider?"

The old man nodded silently, but before Ye Baiyi asked, he said again: "I can't say, Rong Xuan and his wife have saved my life, I promised Madam Rong, I can't say."

Ye Baiyi said coldly: "This is beyond your control."

The old man smiled, moved his leg with difficulty, groped for the iron chain pierced through the kneecap, held it up for him to see, and said lightly, "What else can you do to me? That little bastard Long Xiao... ...I have been locked up for three years, what can you do to me?"

Zhou Zishu looked at the old man leaning against the foot of the bed, who was breathing in but not out, with a half-hearted smile and a nonchalant look, and suddenly he remembered the old general Fan Kuai's words, "I will not evade my minister's death. Gojiu An Zuci?" Can't help but guess, who is this dragon sparrow?

Stunningly beautiful, and for one person, avoiding the crowds, he built an unpredictable puppet villa single-handedly. For a promise and keeping a secret, he lived a life like purgatory for three years, but even his own son , and failed to make him let go... Zhou Zishu suddenly felt that no one in the whole world could be called a hero because of the old man who was dying in front of him.

Wen Kexing's arm holding him tightened suddenly, as if trying to squeeze his whole body into his body. Zhou Zishu frowned slightly, and turned to look at him, only to see Wen Kexing staring blankly at the dragon. There was no sign of laughter on the bird's face. For a moment, Zhou Zishu even felt that there was a flash of water in his extremely dark eyes, but it disappeared after only a moment.

He said to Ye Baiyi: "Hey, old monster, if people don't want to talk about it, don't be annoying."

Ye Baiyi ignored him, grabbed Long Que's arm, and said coldly: "I don't want to know the Liulijia or the key, I just want to ask, how did Rong Xuan and his wife die back then?"

He grasped it so tightly that the veins on the back of his hand burst out. Long Que's face showed pain, but he still said: "I don't..."

Wen Kexing frowned, put Zhou Zishu down, handed Zhang Chengling to support him, and said angrily for no reason: "Old monster, are you finished?"

After that, he didn't even say hello, and suddenly launched an attack, attacking Ye Baiyi's back heart.

While supporting Zhou Zishu, Zhang Chengling opened his mouth stupidly, watching Wen Kexing and Ye Baiyi move their hands in a daze. He didn't understand why the people who had just been allies all the way suddenly turned their faces.

The movements of these two people's hands were not small, the prison that trapped Longque almost shook, the two pinched each other like tearing down a house, Wen Kexing's moves were ruthless, no mercy, Ye Baiyi scolded angrily: "Boy, why are you crazy?"

Wen Kexing snorted coldly: "I don't like you, I want to beat you up, can't I?"

Zhang Chengling asked if he didn't understand, so he asked Zhou Zishu, "Master..."

Zhou Zishu ignored him, his brows were tightly furrowed, a general outline seemed to emerge in his heart suddenly, and he suddenly became enlightened, so he pushed Zhang Chengling away, walked to Long Que, and sat down.

Long Que listened carefully and asked, "Are you injured?"

Zhou Zishu said: "Your son did it."

Long Que laughed and said in a hoarse voice, "Okay...look at me, you're already doing well."

Zhou Zishu was silent, and carefully studied the iron chains on his body. When it came to organs, he knew nine orifices through ten orifices and knew nothing about them. But when it came to torture tools, no one was more familiar with them than the former leader of Tianchuang. Zhou Zishu looked over and over, but couldn't tell what the iron chain was made of.Then he gave up and said to Longque: "I can't do anything, now your son is dead, what should you do?"

Longque thought for a while and said calmly: "Then I should die too——I should have died a long time ago. He won't let me, and now no one cares about me. In this life, the one thing I regret the most is that I didn't Raise Yu Zhui's son well. I know he is also my son, but I always feel that he is the one who took Yu Zhui's life. killed him."

Zhou Zishu felt that this made sense, and didn't know how to comfort him. In the end, he admitted frankly, "That's right."

At this time, Ye Baiyi and Wen Kexing had really raised the roof. The two jumped out and continued to fight, but the dark cell was brightly lit. Longque seemed to feel the sun, and tremblingly stretched out his hand to catch it. , sighed with great satisfaction.

Zhou Zishu was about to speak again, only to hear Ye Baiyi outside couldn't bear it and said angrily: "Why are you joining in the fun? The surname is Long, I must know what happened to Rong Xuan back then, that is my apprentice!"

With a loud roar, even Longque stopped, and the one that Wen Kexing swept past froze in the air, maintaining a ridiculous posture, looking at Ye Baiyi strangely, thinking that Rongxuan and Longque were the same For generations, Ye Baiyi is Rong Xuan's master... Is it possible that this Ye is an 8-year-old tortoise?

Ye Baiyi glared at him coldly, turned around and went back to the house, stood condescendingly in front of Long Que, and said bluntly: "Back then, Rong Xuan stole half of the Liuhe Xinfa from me and went down the mountain, and never came back. Because of what he left behind, the Central Plains Wulin summoned the Shanhe Order, shouldn't I know what happened back then?"

Longque asked: "You are Ye... Ye..."

"I am Ye Baiyi."

Long Que took a deep breath, shook his head and sighed: "I never thought that Senior is still alive..."

An old man with white beard and hair called a young man with a naughty face as his senior. The scene in front of him was very strange.

Zhou Zishu thought for a while, then interjected: "I accidentally broke into the mechanism of the puppet village, and encountered two dolls, a man and a woman. There are many dolls in this village, but they are all bald and stereotyped. That pair looks like a real person. Senior Long, is your puppet engraving you and Mrs. Zun, or Rong Xuan and his wife?"

Long Que closed his eyes, and after a while, he said, "It's Rong Xuan and his wife."

Zhou Zishu said softly: "Then they smashed each other's heads."

Long Que's hand trembled invisibly, and Ye Baiyi immediately asked: "Is Rong Xuan insane?"

Long Que nodded silently, and said, "That's right, before Mrs. Rong died, he went mad. Mrs. Rong died at his hands."
