Yu Changle was startled, and blurted out, "You know my father?"

The moment the three of them stepped into the store, the door disappeared.The entire store is decorated in the architectural style of the Gobi and Western Regions. The fox-eared boy exhaled a puff of smoke and narrowed his eyes.He obviously has the appearance of a child, but his eyes have a vicissitudes of vicissitudes that are treacherous and cunning.

"Father", the word really hit Yu Changle, he felt his heart beat a little faster: "...Really?"

"Yu Xia." Ao Yan lowered his eyes and glanced at Hu Er Xiaotong, "Don't be fooled."

There is a fluffy tail attached to the back of the fox-eared boy. He flicked his tail and said, "Cheat? There is absolutely no false news from the Tianji Pavilion. Young man, is your surname Yu?"

"Yes." Yu Changle said.

"Then you can't go wrong. The old man's eyes are still shrewd." The fox-eared boy smoked his pipe, narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I not only know your father, but also your mother."

This was a totally unexpected development, Yin Zi was in a fog, and dared not speak rashly.Ao Yan's expression softened a bit, but he still didn't relax his vigilance: "When did you meet Changle's parents?"

"Tsk, you young man, why are you more nervous than the client?" The fox-eared boy knocked on his pipe dissatisfied, with an old-fashioned expression.

Ao Yan said: "You haven't answered me yet."

He had no respect at all, and the little boy with fox ears said: "Can't you respect the old man a little bit? Yu Hua and his wife traveled all over the world and stayed with the old man for a few days, and they had a little fate."

Hope ignited in Yu Changle's heart, and he stared at Xiao Tong.

"However," the fox-eared boy immediately poured cold water on Yu Changle and said with a smile, "I haven't gone out for many years. I don't know about your father's current news. What I know is old news from decades ago gone."

Yu Changle's eyes dimmed, but immediately lit up again and said: "That's okay, you...can you tell me? What kind of person is my father?" His throat was a little dry.

"Little offspring, I'll tell you the news, what reward will you pay me?" the fox-eared boy asked slyly.

"Is Huomingshi okay?" Yu Changle was about to take out the Qiankun Ring immediately.

"Hahahaha, how can you be so honest, kid! How did the person who raised you teach you?" The little boy laughed.From the very beginning, he asked "Do you want to know about your father", as if he was certain that Yu Changle's parents were not around.

Yu Changle was full of doubts, and looked at Xiao Tong eagerly.

"What happened to your parents back then, this is just news, and there is no need to pay for it." The boy shook his head, "After all, Yu Hua and his wife also helped the old man a little bit back then, and they also contributed to the old man's small shop."

There was a bright yellow light in his eyes, which swept over the three of them, and finally landed on Yin Ziwen: "But if you ask another question, you need to be paid. My reward is very expensive. Come, old man, make a pot of tea , speak slowly. The old man’s Taoist name is Fu Tongzi, you can call me by my Taoist name.”

He looks only seven or eight years old, but he calls himself an "Old Man", which looks a little funny.Fu Tongzi walked behind the counter and turned a mechanism, and the wall cabinet was separated, revealing a small courtyard.The small courtyard is still in the desert style, only the stone tables and benches are in the Central Plains style.

When it came to family matters, Ao Yan and Yin Ziwen stopped outside, Yu Changle followed Fu Tongzi into the small courtyard, and the wall cabinet was closed again.

"Your parents were also chatting and drinking tea with the old man here back then." Fu Tongzi sat on the stone bench, waving his hands and directing the teapot to make tea and pour water by himself, "'Changle' is a good word, like the two of them. style."

Yu Changle said: "But... the master said that he was the one who gave me my name."

"You mean that old tortoise in Huaipu?" Fu Tongzi smacked his mouth, "Forget it, the peak of Huaipu's naming is his two good apprentices, Hua Huaili and Bai Huaigu, I don't know what the old tortoise thinks Yes, the disciple's name and his generation... what's your name?"

Fu Tongzi actually had friendship with his master, which Yu Changle did not expect.

"Yu Xia. Master said it means fish and shrimp..." Yu Changle touched his nose, feeling a little shy.His naming level also followed that of his master.

Fu Tongzi was speechless for a while, and said: "Summer is the beauty of the scorching sun. Your parents wanted you to be like the prosperity of midsummer, but Huai Pu distorted it into this. Compared with your mother, you seem to be picked up by him."

"You mean, my mother was adopted by the master?" Yu Changle said.He felt that he was approaching his mother's life, Hua Huaili gradually changed from an abstract symbol to a person with flesh and blood.

Fu Tongzi said: "The old man remembers that it was spring one year, the old tortoise just woke up from hibernation, and saw a child at the foot of the mountain thrown by the stream."

There was a look of nostalgia in his eyes, he took a puff of smoke, the smoke was lingering, and his voice slowed down, "He said that the child was lying in a pile of flowers, his eyes were very round and bright, just looking at him like this So, on impulse, the old tortoise took the child home, and named it casually, Xiao Hua."

This is a young human race, probably abandoned because it was a girl.She looks very handsome.

"You look more like your mother, especially the pair of peach blossom eyes." Fu Tongzi observed Yu Changle for a while, and continued, "Later, I don't know if Huaipu got addicted to picking up children or something. Hey, I picked up another one." The little lotus essence who just took shape and doesn't know anything about it is still a male lotus, named Xiaobai."

This is talking about Baihuai Valley.Therefore, Bai Huaigu is really not Yu Changle's master, but his junior uncle.

Fu Tongzi said: "The old tortoise took great care in raising children. When the human child was 15 years old, Huai Pu suddenly came to me and said that he would give them a proper name. He read the book for a long time at my place. Only then did the two names 'Huaili' and 'Huaigu' come out.

"What did I say, the meaning of the word 'Li' is too bad, he insisted that it means Changli Fengniao. As for Huaigu... the old turtle said, Xiaobai is too thin and narrow, he should be as modest as a valley."

When he was in Biluo Mountain, Yu Changle almost never saw any communication between his master and Bai Huaigu, and he couldn't tell that Bai Huaigu was brought up by Huai Pu.Bai Huaigu locked himself up to practice all the year round, either in a cave or in a house, where he was three feet in the cold and kept away from others.

He didn't know that the old man Huai Pu had such an evaluation of his uncle: thin and narrow.

Probably because of this character, Bai Huaigu saved his breath for 19 years, and the last fire burned down the enchantment, which is considered to be his renunciation with Huai Puen.

"As for Xiaohua, she is a genius. She has shown extraordinary talent since she was a child, and the old turtle knows that if this little girl comes out of the mountain one day, she will be a person who can stir up the world. It's a pity... I don't know what happened afterwards, but she Didn't become that kind of person."

Fu Tongzi looked at Yu Changle inquisitively, "Her greatest act was actually just breaking the formation."

"The incident of breaking the formation not only made her famous among the young children, but also made her famous in the world of non-human beings." Fu Tongzi said, "For her, this matter should also be very important. Because your mother Because of this, I met your father."

Fu Tongzi's tone was indifferent, but Yu Changle was surprised: "One of those two big monsters is my father?"

"You know about this?" Fu Tongzi glanced at him with great interest, "Indeed. One is your father. I don't know about the other big monster. It is said that it is a very rare Ran Cang. Xiaohua broke one person with one sword. The 49 formations cleared the world with one sword, and also made your father fall in love with one sword, and they have become Taoist couples since then."

Yu Changle thought to himself, no wonder Zhang Zihua would mention his mother and would not admit that she was his student. Zhang Zihua was the most rigid of all the gentlemen.Hua Huaili not only rescued the "criminal" demon, but also became a Taoist couple with him. In Zhang Zihua's view, it was such a treason.

"Fairy couple, wandering around." Fu Tongzi sighed, his childlike eyes were particularly vicissitudes, "When I saw them, it was like this. After a long time, both of them disappeared, but I saw to their children."

Later, something must have happened to cause Yu Hua and his wife to fall, the master and ancestor formed a blue enchantment, and Baihuaigu's fire enchantment disappeared 19 years later, never to return.Bai Huaigu's departure shows that this matter is still unfinished.

"Back then, Xiaohua rode on your master's neck and plucked his beard. He laughed. He spent all his time and effort in bringing this disciple to him." Fu Tongzi looked at Yu Changle narrowly and interrupted him. "Aren't you jealous? It seems that your spiritual power has not been carefully cultivated since childhood."

Jealous?

The old man Huaipu in Yu Changle's image treats him like a pet.He lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, and then said seriously: "I'm not jealous."

There was a smile in the young man's eyes, frank and frank, as if holding a small sun in midsummer.

Yu Changle is not jealous at all.He knew that his name was not chosen randomly, but that his parents chose it seriously and passed it on to the ancestors. When thinking about their unborn child, they must be full of hope and blessings.

So, he is already very happy.

It's not that the master treated him badly. Some things Yu Changle didn't understand before, he has gradually come to terms with them over the years.For example, the master always wanted to teach him, but gave up; for example, the master sometimes stared at him, but it seemed that he was staring at another person through him.

Fu Tongzi froze for a moment, looked away and said, "Don't regret it."

regret what?Yu Changle's doubts were fleeting, because Fu Tongzi started talking about his father.

"Your father's name is Yu Siyuan, which comes from 'Chiyu Siguyuan'. But no one knows where his hometown is, as if suddenly one day, he appeared out of thin air."

Yu Siyuan——Yu Changle finally knew his father's name for the first time.

"I can't see what kind of monster Yu Siyuan is. But I guess..." Fu Tongzi said slowly, "Your father is probably a sky spirit monster. It's rich and handsome, with a compelling demeanor... In terms of temperament, it's a bit Like your friend in blue. Hey, is that really your friend?"

Ok?

Fu Tongzi suddenly mentioned Ao Yan, and Yu Changle suddenly felt guilty that something had been punctured: "Aren't they friends or what?" He asked himself, why is he guilty?

"Hmph." Fu Tongzi looked at Yu Changle with an ambiguous and strange smile, "Now that I think about it, your personality is also very similar to your mother, not only in appearance, but even if you cover your faces and stand together, old man I can recognize you as mother and son..."

"..." Yu Changle forcibly changed the subject, stopping Fu Tongzi from saying "even the taste is so similar", and said, "My father, could he be a fish demon? Like a koi or something."

"Fish demon?" Fu Tongzi sneered and denied, "How is this possible? Besides dragons, what swimming thing would be so powerful? It can't be dragons either. His surname is not Ao."

"That's all I know, you can find out the rest yourself." Fu Tongzi knocked on the pipe three times, the wall cabinet opened, and Ao Yan was standing outside the door.He looked at Yu Changle up and down for the first time, and Fu Tongzi said: "What are you doing? I didn't do anything to your Taoist companion."

Yu Changle came back to his senses: "Tao companion?? No..."

"You still have to ask questions, don't you?" Fu Tongzi didn't listen to him, "Say it quickly, so I can calculate the reward."

Ao Yan said: "Peach Blossom Cave, do you know what this place is?"

"Also, do you know how to restore memory?" Yin Ziwen asked.

As soon as the words "Peach Blossom Cave" came out, Fu Tongzi paused strangely.He closed his eyes and counted with his fingers, and then his eyes fell squarely on Yin Ziwen.

"These two problems are essentially the same." Fu Tongzi murmured, "I just reopened my business not long ago, so I don't want to get into trouble..."

He actually frowned, showing embarrassment, wagging his tail anxiously and spinning around in place.

"Old fox, just tell me what reward you want." Ao Yan said.

"I'm a desert fox, not a fox from your Central Plains." Fu Tongzi didn't raise his head, "Do you think I want to increase my salary? I'm afraid of trouble. I don't have nine tails to save my life!"

He suddenly raised his head, and the vertical pupils of a fox appeared in his pupils, staring closely at Yin Ziwen.Yin Ziwen took a step back in fright at the strange sight.

"Forget it...for the sake of my old friend, I am willing to tell you." Fu Tongzi let out a breath, and said slowly, "The reward is, you make some shadow puppets for me."

Although Yu Changle has never used the cardboard figures in shadow puppetry, most of these objects are used as substitutes or manipulations, and can be used as life-saving talismans when necessary.

Sure enough, the old fox said: "And your aura will be injected into it."
