With Wangshu Pavilion's influence in the arena, if you want to find something in the arena, there will be a lot of people selling Wangshu Pavilion's favor, but even so, Guan Yucheng's remains have not been found, which is a bit It was beyond Shao Xi and Lao Wu's expectations.
It is said that Guan Yucheng was also a well-known person in the world at that time. He was able to master the Chunyang Sword Skills across the north and south. After he separated from Shen Linyue, he settled in the Western Regions and opened the Yaoling Inn. It can be said that Guan Yucheng was known to all warriors in the Western Regions. People don’t know, but why are there no traces of human remains after death?
"I remember that when I was very young, Old Wu told me about the deeds of my respected master and Senior Guan. Senior Guan was also very famous in the Western Regions back then, but why his remains could not be found after his death."
Cheng Baiqiu smoothed his hair again and said calmly: "I heard my uncles talk about this matter. It seems that when Senior Guan opened the Yao Ling Inn in the Western Regions, he offended many people in the martial arts world, and even He offended some important officials in the court, so before he committed suicide, Senior Guan entrusted his friends to bury his remains secretly. He did not want to be humiliated after his death. Therefore, no one knows where Senior Guan's remains are buried to this day. Naturally, they cannot be found. , which has to be said to be a pity.”
The reason why Shao Xi brought up this topic was that he originally planned to go to the Western Regions on behalf of Cheng Baiqiu to move Guan Yucheng's remains to Yingyue Island to be buried with Shen Linyue. The original idea was quite simple, just to go to the Western Regions and transfer the remains. Just dig it out and bring it back.
Now that I hear it, what a guy! It turns out that it wasn't that they hadn't thought about it back then, or that they couldn't find it.
After so many years, since so many Jianghu figures have been to the Western Regions but have not been found, I am afraid that I have no choice but to give up this idea, but Old Wu's attitude seems to be different.
After listening to Cheng Baiqiu's words, Old Wu quickly asked: "Have you heard about the person Guan Yucheng entrusted back then? Is this person still alive today? I want to try this again, old man, although it's not I’m not sure whether it can be recovered, but for the mistakes I made back then, I am willing to do my best throughout my life to help your master fulfill this wish.”
Seeing that Old Wu's attitude was so firm, Shao Xi's idea of retreating just now disappeared. Since Old Wu wanted to do this, he would accompany him to the Western Regions to find Guan Yucheng's remains.
Let’s not talk about whether we can find it or not. At least we should support Lao Wu’s idea of trying his best. The result is no longer the most important thing. If Lao Wu is not allowed to do this, he may not be able to let go of his heart for the rest of his life. Guilt.
"That's right! Since even you, the Pavilion Master, know about this, I think your uncles must have inquired about this person back then. Judging from the results, they should not have found this person. But if this person is still alive, as long as he is willing If you work hard, you will eventually find it. I wonder how much you know about this? Can you tell me about it? If we can really find this person and find the remains of Senior Guan, it will be regarded as the crime committed ten years ago. We have made some compensation for this mistake, and I think nothing can express our repentance more than fulfilling our lifelong wish."
In fact, the decision made by Shao Xi and Lao Wu was tantamount to causing a big trouble for themselves.
The Western Region is thousands of miles away and the desolate place is not to mention. Considering that so many people were searching to no avail, the two of them had to go to the Western Region to find Guan Yucheng's remains. You can imagine the difficulty of this matter.
Under such circumstances, the two still decided to go. In fact, to a certain extent, they were not pursuing a result, but to express their attitude in front of Cheng Baiqiu.
Regardless of whether they can find it or not, this arduous journey to the Western Regions is also a journey of atonement for Shao Xi and Lao Wu. Even if the final result is not satisfactory, this move also proves that Shao Xi and Lao Wu had a deep relationship with Lao Wu ten years ago. Repentance for what he had done was more meaningful than letting Lao Wu accept any punishment.
Besides, everything in this world is possible. If others can't find it, Shao Xi and Lao Wu may not be able to find it. If Guan Yucheng's remains are really found, it will turn a bad thing into a good thing, which is also a kind of good thing. Solutions to the problem.
At this time, Cheng Baiqiu also understood the purpose of Shao Xi's mention of this matter before. Seeing that the two of them had this idea and their attitude was so firm, if he thought about it carefully, if the matter could be solved in this way, it would indeed be the best solution he could think of at the moment. Good results.
If his master could really be buried with the remains of Senior Guan, then the things taken away by Old Wu could only be regarded as the rewards they deserved for their efforts.
Originally, those things were buried in the tomb and lost their actual significance. Now it is a good thing that the martial arts of Master and Senior Guan are practiced and passed on.
In this case, why not let the two of them go to the Western Regions to try?
"I heard some things from my uncles back then. I don't know if they are accurate? I will tell you what I know. Then you will have to look for clues on your own in the Western Region. According to what my uncles said back then, It is said that the person who buried Senior Guan after his death was a waiter in the Yaoling Inn. This man was a local from the Western Regions, his name was Avrel. He originally only made a living by herding sheep there, but he encountered horse bandits who robbed him. The herd of sheep was driven back by Senior Guan who was passing by at that time. Since then, he has been following Senior Guan. After Senior Guan opened the inn, he worked as a waiter in the inn. It is said that after Senior Guan passed away, This man disappeared with the body of Senior Guan, and no one has ever seen him again. As for whether he is still alive today, I am not sure."
When Shao Xi heard this, his whole body went numb.
It's easier to find a dead person, because he will be buried in a fixed place, but wouldn't it be more troublesome to find someone who doesn't even know whether he is dead or alive? If this person was alive, he might be able to find him by asking around, but if he died, where would he find him? What's the use of finding it? Is it possible to dig him out and ask him where Senior Guan is buried?
"Uh--, besides this person, are there any other clues? Even if it's just hearsay, there are some possibilities."
Cheng Baiqiu shook her head gently and said nothing. It seemed that she only knew so much, but this was completely unreliable!
Just based on a name, he ran to the Western Regions and searched aimlessly for Guan Yucheng's remains? Shao Xi felt that this matter was too far off!
You must know that the territory of Jinzhou is not a tiny bit big, and it is full of Gobi desert and sparsely populated. If you just throw a person into the desert, you will never be able to find it again, let alone find a person who has been missing for many years. , a person whose life or death is unknown?
Besides, the name Avrel should be very common in the local area, right? Ask one by one until when?
Shao Xi had already started to have a headache at this moment. He secretly turned his head to look at Old Wu, but saw that Old Wu had firm eyes and a determined attitude. It looked like he was a bastard who was determined to go to the Western Regions.
Shao Xi couldn't express his objection. After all, the decision-making power on this matter was not in his own hands. No matter what decision Lao Wu made, he would support it unconditionally. Even if he knew he was going to eat sand, Jiefeng would definitely accompany Lao Wu. Wu went on this trip.
Not for anything else, just because Old Wu is his closest relative.
"In this case, the matter has been settled. After we leave Yingyue Island and deal with the matters at hand, we will leave for the Western Region to find the remains of Senior Guan. No matter whether we find it or not, we will Trying our best is not only to make up for the mistakes we made ten years ago, but also our admiration for our respected master and senior Guan. If this matter really comes to pass, it can also be regarded as the greatest respect between the two of us for the two seniors."
Cheng Baiqiu suddenly smiled at this time, and his smile was so bright that Shao Xi was stunned by the flower-like smile for a moment.
"Now that this matter has been settled, the matter that Senior Wu did ten years ago has now been resolved. As the master of Wangshu Pavilion, I will entrust the search for the remains of Senior Guan to the two of you. Then this matter This is the end of the matter. Now I am no longer speaking to you as the master of Wangshu Pavilion, but as the owner of this place to receive you guests. Senior Wu and Mr. Shao no longer have to worry about what they have done before. Things are so exciting, and the deceased is gone! I hope that Master and Senior Guan can truly rest in peace in the future and not be disturbed by things in this world anymore."
A few simple words fully demonstrated Cheng Baiqiu's style and magnanimity. He was truly worthy of being the successor of Wangshu Pavilion personally selected by Shen Linyue.
Faced with this kind of thing that is difficult for ordinary people to accept, most people would be furious and even take the most extreme measures to retaliate, but Cheng Baiqiu could handle it calmly and solve the matter in an extremely calm and calm way, neither The magnanimity of Wangshu Pavilion Master of Lost Moon Island also allowed Shao Xi and Lao Wu to see the kindness in her bones.
Shao Xi understood that just now Cheng Baiqiu was acting as the master of Wangshu Pavilion to deal with the matter of Old Wu secretly breaking into Yingyue Island to dig and rob tombs ten years ago. Now that the matter has been solved, she let go of this pavilion master. As a young man in the martial arts world, he still faced Old Wu as a junior in the martial arts world. This magnanimity and magnanimity were precisely what those martial arts sects that prided themselves on being superior did not have.
Wangshu Pavilion is indeed worthy of being a famous martial arts sect living outside the world, and his style of life is indeed much more grand than those martial arts sects that are mixed in the secular world.
Old Wu said to Cheng Baiqiu with gratitude: "Ms. Cheng is so magnanimous and can forgive the old man's mistakes. Old man, I will live up to the trust of the girl. Even if I risk my life, I will sacrifice the remains of the hero Guan." Bring them back to Yingyue Island, fulfill their wishes, and let them never be separated again."
Cheng Baiqiu smiled and replied: "Senior, as long as you have the will, it will be fine. If it hadn't been for digging up the tomb, I should actually be grateful to you for finding someone to inherit the martial arts of my master and Senior Guan. As for the remains of Senior Guan Senior Wu must not be too forced to do something, otherwise it will appear that the junior is forcing others to do something difficult."
Old Wu nodded heavily, secretly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said no more.
But Shao Xi suddenly said again, "Miss Cheng, actually I have other things to ask for during this trip to Yingyue Island."
