Su Yun walked in this small town, which was both familiar and strange to him. What was familiar was that the buildings in the town were almost the same as those in Tianmen Town, but what was strange were the people here.
However, whenever he met an older person, he would stop and ask if someone had lost a child seven years ago.
——He is the lost child.
Qingyu Town is not big, and you can still see the shadow of Tianmen Town.
This town has a great relationship with Tianmen Town. Seven years ago, before the drastic changes in Tianmen Town, Qu Jin, Qu Taichang and others had realized that what they were going to do might implicate Tianmen Town. Therefore, the residents of Tianmen Town were moved out of Tianshiyuan.
At that time, Tianmen Town was not called Tianmen Town among the locals, but Qingyu Town. It was named because the town was close to the North Sea and herrings were produced in the sea.
Qu Jin and others built another town on the edge of Tianshiyuan. The buildings were almost the same as Tianmen Town. The townspeople moved here and settled down.
Although it is far away from the North Sea, the name Qingyu Town is still retained.
Su Yun walked around the town and asked around.
Like other towns in the countryside, young people in this town often leave the town and go to the city to work or study. Some people become city dwellers and stay in the town. Most of the people, mainly the elderly and children, make a living by farming.
Su Yun was a little confused and stopped under the Tianmen Archway, dazed.
After he left Tianshiyuan and came to Shuofang, he was obsessed with Qingyu Town and always wanted to come here to find his roots, but he was always timid and did not dare to come.
And now he unknowingly came to Qingyu Town, trying to find his parents. However, after searching around, he found that no one here had lost a child seven years ago.
Su Yun closed his eyes: "I was too confused and ignored some details."
After a while, he opened his eyes and looked back at Qingyu Town, silently in his heart Said: "This is a town rebuilt according to the pattern of Tianmen Town, so the houses should be the same as Tianmen Town seven years ago. There are forty-five houses in Tianmen Town, including my house, there are forty-six houses . And this town also has forty-six houses, so the house I live in corresponds to..."
He came to the house, which was already abandoned and the yard was overgrown with weeds. .
"Old man, where are the people living here?" Su Yun stopped an old man returning from farming and asked.
The old man put down his hoe and said with a smile: "Are you talking about the old Su family? Their family became prosperous and they moved away seven years ago."
"The old Su family? "
Su Yun's spirit was greatly improved, and the confusion and fear just now disappeared, and he asked: "Where did they move to?"
"They said they moved to Dongdu? "
The old man thought for a while and said: "His son has been admitted to some school in Dongdu, and there are noble people to help him send them to study in Dongdu....Aunt Six, Aunt Six! "
He called an old woman who was doing laundry and asked: "Did the old Su family go to Dongdu? "
The sixth aunt had dim eyesight and deaf ears, so she couldn't hear clearly. The old man asked twice more, and then the sixth aunt heard clearly and said with a smile: "Hey! What did you pass the exam for? I sold my son in exchange for it! The old Su family has two sons, the eldest son is named Yun and the younger son is named Ye. Weren't there many noble people coming to the town at that time? He said that he wanted to buy a few smart children and go to work in the ghost market..."
"Selling sons..." Su Yun's mind was pounding, his eyes widened, and he stood there blankly.
"...The nobles in the city were looking for many children. An old man with a hammer head found the eldest son of the Su family and said that he was very good and spiritual. Then I bought it. "
The sixth aunt was chattering and slurring: "Lao Su Niang was not willing to sell it at first, but the money they gave her was too much, and they promised to move her to Dongdu so that she could sell it. When her youngest son Su Ye was able to go to school, she sold it as soon as she gritted her teeth. "
Su Yun was startled: "Just sell it? "
"Of course I want to sell it! "
The old man said matter-of-factly: "Tianshiyuan is always prone to natural disasters. It is difficult to feed one child, let alone two? Sell one to make the other live better. Their family all moved to Dongdu and became masters, making the people in the town envious to death. What's more, he wasn't the only one being sold? There were many children who were sold at that time. "
Su Yun's head was dizzy, so he took out some five baht money and gave it to the old man and the sixth aunt, and asked: "What happened to the child who was sold?" "
He was a little dizzy, so he had to sit on the threshold of the Su family.
The old man leaned on his hoe and said, "You mean the eldest son of the Su family? What else? He was taken by people from the city and entered the ghost market with other sold children, saying they were going to catch the same gods and demons as those on Tianmen. Almost all of them died later, and most of the child from the Su family died too. "
The old woman's sixth aunt shook her head and said: "Nonsense! I once went back to pick up something and saw the child. He was very delicate. Just sitting there, the noble man in the city was stuffing something between his eyebrows. It was very big and looked like a dragon. Somehow, he stuffed it in. Someone said that since it is the 76th, I don’t know if it can still be sealed. The child was very quiet and said nothing..."
Her dim old eyes suddenly lit up. She looked at Su Yun sitting there and said with a smile: "The way you sit here is different from that one. The kids are exactly the same! The child also sat like this, silently! ”
……
Su Yun said goodbye to the two old people and still sat there, not moving for a long time.
After a long time, he stood up and Walking into the Su family's house, it was already deserted. It was obvious that the Su family left Qingyu Town and went to Dongdu after getting a large amount of money.
Su Yun walked out of Qingyun. town, silently waiting for the Zhulong chariot heading to Shuofang at the town post.
“After the chaos, Zhulong.The trains run twice a day and are not as dense as before. "
Chi Xiaoyao walked out of nowhere, sat next to him, and said softly: "Su Shizi, has your seal been released?" "
Su Yun shook his head, his voice a little hoarse: "The seal is still there. "
"So do you recall what happened back then? "Chi Xiaoyao asked.
Su Yun shook his head and was lost in thought. After a while, he stood up and said, "I didn't remember it. When I left Tianmen Town, Uncle Qu said that it was Uncle Cen who asked them to take care of me. Uncle Cen told them that they owed me and must take care of me when I grew up. ”
He took steps and walked along the post road towards Shuofang City.
Chi Xiaoyao, dressed in white like snow with gleaming scales, followed behind him, and the two of them walked along the Go forward along the post road.
“I always thought that they were guilty because of the drastic changes in Tianmen Town and Beihai, so they wanted to take care of me until I could see the light again. "
Su Yun turned around and smiled at the girl: "What I didn't expect was that they were actually experimenting on me. "
Chi Xiaoyao followed him, feeling a little distressed.
"Number seventy-six? I was probably the seventy-sixth kid they bought.
Su Yun turned around, waved in the direction of Qingyu Town, and said with a smile: "I have made up my mind, I want to leave Shuofang and go to Dongdu!" I want to go to Dongdu to see my brother and see how well his parents have sold me to go to school and whether he can be worthy of the money he got from selling me! "
Chi Xiaoyao hesitated and stopped.
Su Yun turned around and said with a smile: "Senior Xiaoyao, do you want to go to Dongdu with me? "
Chi Xiaoyao shook his head and said: "When I finish my studies, I will return to the uninhabited land of Tianshiyuan. My dream is to open a school and a medicine shop in the uninhabited area of Tianshiyuan, so that people there can go to school and study, and their injuries and illnesses can be diagnosed and treated. I can't go to Dongdu with you. "
Su Yun looked at her, and after a moment, he smiled and said: "Okay. When I come back, I will go to no man's land to find you. "
He stretched out his hand. Chi Xiaoyao looked at his hand, hesitated, and extended his palm.
Su Yun took her hand and stepped forward. Rush.
Chi Xiaoyao staggered a little as he was leading her, but then let go and followed his footsteps.
After all, she had a high level of cultivation and quickly surpassed him. Su Yun, giggling in front, held Su Yun's hand and galloped through the countryside.
The spring sunshine revived everything. The colors of spring include tender green, clear waves, goose yellow, and flowers of various colors. They were spread in clusters on both sides of the post road.
Young girls took steps towards the distant city in the spring light.
In the sky, Taoist saints sat cross-legged in the clouds. , the two white eyebrows are getting longer and longer, hanging down from the clouds
The book monster Yingying flapped her paper wings below, grabbed his two long eyebrows, and braided his hair. His long ponytail then flew to the clouds again, and he continued to braid his eyebrows seriously.hair.
"No. 72, what does it mean?"
Tao Sheng looked at the boys and girls running like joy below, frowned and said: "It's really the 72nd test. Does it mean "pin"? I always feel there is something weird in this..."
Yingying kept knitting until the center of his eyebrows, then stopped, blinked, and asked: "Has Taoist Saint been to Tiandaoyuan? ?"
Dao Sheng shook his head and said: "I have been there before, but that was a hundred years ago. I have not been to the Emperor Ping Ming Tian Dao in the past hundred years. Scholars from the academy, based on what Qu Taichang and others found in Tianmen Town, recreated the Eight-sided Tower with twelve gods and demons on it, and the Eight-sided Tower with ninety-six gods and demons.
Yingying turned around, looked down, her eyes flashed, and whispered: "So the seventy-two that the sixth aunt heard may not necessarily be the seventy-second child. It may be The seventy-two gods and demons. Then there were seventy-two gods and demons sealed at that time, and there were twenty-four gods and demons behind..."
Tao Sheng couldn't help but shudder, and laughed: "Ying Fellow Taoist, you are just guessing!"
Yingying burst into laughter and giggled: "Yes, I was just guessing! How could Qu Taichang be a god? Sixteen gods and demons were captured and sealed in a child's memory?"
Tao Sheng laughed and said, "That's right! What's more, those mythical beasts, gods, and demons have been around for decades. How could Qu Taichang and the others capture ninety-six of them at once if they couldn't see one?" Yingying clapped her hands and said with a smile: "That's exactly the reason! Since there is no place to find these gods and demons, they must be there. It’s fake!”
“Yes! That’s right!” Dao Sheng nodded repeatedly.
The two looked at each other, and then their eyes shifted apart, each in a daze.
"I want to go to Dongdu with him."
Yingying suddenly made up her mind and said: "I am looking for the whereabouts of Qin Wuling, not worried about Su Shizi. Worrying about the Ninety-six Gods and Demons."
The Taoist Sage's brows stretched, and the braids on his eyebrows immediately stretched, became shorter and shorter, and returned to normal. He stood up and said, "I want to go back to the East too. Both. I'm not worried about Pavilion Master Su. After all, he is the Pavilion Master of Tongtian Pavilion. It's not the old man's turn to worry. I am about to die of old age. Although I renewed my life seven years ago, my longevity is finally coming to an end. "
He sighed and said quietly: "I have to arrange for the new headmaster of the Taoist sect as soon as possible. Of course, since Pavilion Master Su also wants to go to the Eastern Capital, we should go with him and take care of each other on the way. , and of course."
Yingying nodded repeatedly.
When Su Yun returned to Shuofang, he did not rush to Dongdu immediately. Instead, he hid in Shanshui Residence and did not go to class.
Chi Xiaoyao has also been living in Shanshui Residence these days, and Yingying is also living in Shanshui Residence. The Taoist Saint shamelessly entered Shanshui Residence and refused to leave.
Su Yun waited for a few days and finally caught Huahu who came back to visit Qingqiuyue and others. He smiled and said: "Second brother, don't leave! I have sorted out the complete transformation of Honglu and the flaws in the past few days. alreadyVery few, passed on to you. After teaching the Honglu Transmutation, I will go to the Eastern Capital. The emperor ordered me to give him some face. "
The Taoist Sage originally did not intend to listen to him teach about the transmutation of the Hong Furnace. Su Yun smiled and said: "The transmutation of the Hong Furnace is not a secret that is not taught. There is no harm in the saint listening to it. If you think it is useful to the saint, you might as well teach the fox to punish them for a few days as compensation. "
Tao Sheng smiled and said: "That's fine. If your transformation is worth a day, I will teach them a day. It’s worth two days, so I teach them for two days. ”
