Chapter 119 Jiangyue Bamboo Village
"Grandpa, grandpa, I learned a lot of words today, much better than my brother." The baby nodded and said while eating candied haws, while the old man smiled kindly and said in a doting tone:
"I remember your brother doesn't seem to be studying anymore."
"Uh... Anyway, he is better than my brother."
"Okay, okay, better than your brother."
Wawa's brother is now among the group of teenagers in Zamabu.
At this time, a large mastiff with snow-white hair walked over quickly. Surprisingly, this Ao dog could actually transmit sounds.
"Master, please let me take care of you first. The young owner of the village has something to discuss with you in the study."
The old man nodded. Coincidentally, this doll also liked to play with the big mastiff.
"Grandpa, I want to come down and play with winter melons."
"Okay, okay, then you have to run slower." He said as he put the doll down from his shoulders.
As soon as the baby landed on the ground, it screamed and climbed onto Ao Quan's back, and then used its hands and feet to hug the big mastiff's neck, almost strangling Ao Quan. The old man was dumbfounded when he saw it, but when he thought of his eldest son's When I came to see him for something, I waved to the doll and walked towards the study.
In the study, a middle-aged man was sitting on the side of the desk holding an envelope, waiting for someone to come. After about a quarter of an hour, the old man walked in. Before he could sit down, the middle-aged man slapped him hard. Fanning the air in front of him, he couldn't help frowning and said:
"Dad, are you going fishing again?"
The old man nodded proudly and said, "The fish I caught today was very big, almost as big as you."
The middle-aged man didn't know what to say for a while. After thinking for a while, he sighed first.
"Dad, wouldn't it be nice to leave this kind of work to my servants from now on? Is it necessary for you to go there yourself?"
As soon as he heard this, the old man was not happy. He replied in an elder-like tone: "Why, old man, I am so old, can't I still have my own preferences?"
The middle-aged man naturally did not dare to refute, but he also understood that the reason why the old man loved fishing was mainly because his youngest son loved to eat. Before that, the old man did not like fishing very much.
He then pinched his nose and prepared to talk about something serious.
The old man naturally saw this scene, his shoulders shook, and the fishy smell all over him immediately disappeared. Then he sat on the main seat, snorted coldly, and took the lead in saying:
"Tell me what you want from me."
When the middle-aged man saw that the fishy smell had disappeared, he released his hand, took out the letter and handed it over.
"Dad, this is a secret message from Luoye City."
The old man took the letter, and the content written on it was roughly divided into two categories. On the one hand, it was about the intricate relationships between the various forces in Luoye City, and on the other hand, it was naturally the news about the "Bloodstained Secret Realm".
The Bloodstained Secret Realm has attracted the attention of all forces since the soaring blood pillar six years ago. No matter the eight major sects or the small sects, they have invested a lot of energy in it. Even many hidden families have They attach great importance to this matter, which leads to complicated relationships in Luoye City, and "Jiangyue Bamboo Village" is one of these reclusive families.
"This blood-stained secret realm suddenly appeared six years ago. Through secret investigations in the past few years, I found that Ji Shenfu, the lord of Luoye City, had been secretly planning it a long time ago. I just don't know how they found the entrance to the secret realm. If it weren't for Lin Hengshan turned into an array spirit and stirred up the bloody pillar. I am afraid that such a large secret realm will be swallowed up by Luo Yunzong."
Listening to the middle-aged man's words, the old man fell into deep thought. Since the death of his wife forty years ago, he has decided to retire from the world and never be born again. Unfortunately, fate has played a trick on people, and his little grandson has just passed away. He was born with a congenital disability and a blocked heart.
Although he could forcibly open it with his cultivation, the child was too young after all, and his fragile body could not withstand the impact. But if it was allowed to be blocked, the child would probably die before he reached the age of five.
For this reason, he personally went to Li Dongdan of Yaowang Valley and wanted to get a pill called "Pulse Protection Pill". Unfortunately, although Li Dongdan had the ability to refine "Pulse Protection Pill", he was missing some medicinal materials. This medicinal material is called "Blood-drawing Heart Grass" and can only grow in a pile of dead people. The last one was found in an ancient battlefield left behind.
After hearing this, the old man traveled across thousands of mountains and rivers, trying to find this medicinal material. However, two years later, he still found nothing. Now the baby is approaching three years old, with less than two years left.
"Dad, now we can only try our luck in the Bloodstained Secret Realm."
The old man nodded helplessly. Now, he could only break the promise he made at that time. However, even if he wanted to return to the world, he still warned:
"Don't be too public now. In addition to the eight major sects in Luoye City, there must be many other hidden masters who are secretly observing. These old guys are all very cunning. If you meet them, you must not be careless. .”
The middle-aged man nodded, and then his eyes became solemn. Judging from the current situation, the blood-stained secret realm was still quite peaceful. He was afraid that the secret realm would not be opened for a long time, which would delay his youngest son's condition.
…
In Yunxi County, a lazy young man was lying on a coarse cloth filled with grains and lazily basking in the sun. The oxcart underneath him kept shaking as he slowly left the town and headed southwest.
In addition to this ox cart, there were several carriages. Beside the carriages, a dozen strong men in coarse linen clothes led the horses in front and followed behind the ox carts.
After a while, the group of people came to a villa with the words "Jiang Yue Bamboo Villa" written on it. Then, the snoring lazy young man was gently tapped awake by a strong man.
"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, wake up, we are here."
The young man on the bullock cart opened his eyes dullly at first, then sat up and looked around with a confused expression. He wiped a drop of crystal water from the corner of his mouth and said slowly:
"arrive?"
"Uh-huh."
All the men nodded in unison.
The young man patted his cheeks with both hands, and then turned it over. At this time, the housekeeper at the door was already used to the strangeness. He walked forward, raised his hands and said politely:
"A few of you came all the way from Yunxi County. The road was a bit bumpy. Thank you for your hard work."
The young man was unambiguous and said bluntly with a smile: "The ruggedness is really rugged, and the hard work is really not hard."
This was not the first time that the butler had dealt with the other party, and they naturally knew each other quite well. He smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Huo is still as straightforward as ever."
Afterwards, the two of them compared the amount of silver in the transaction, and after confirming that it was correct, the young man named "Huo" ordered people to remove the goods from the carriage and pile them outside the door.
