After hearing my words, Taoist Xu, who was a little worried, relaxed.
He nodded.
"You're right. Wu Xiaoyou is young and it's rare to have such a mentality and firm will. It's just that Pindao is a bit narrow-minded."
I shook my head quickly.
"No, it's because Director Xu cares about me, a junior, that he is worried about me."
"So what are you going to do next, little friend Wu? Go to Changbai Mountain? Pindao may also be able to provide you with some help. When I was young, I went to the Changbai Mountain area, although I didn't go too deep into it."
I thought for a moment.
"Now that I know how to hatch Madoka, and this matter is very complicated, there is no rush. I plan to wait for the admission notice from the university before leaving for Changbai Mountain. During this period of time, I will first spend time with my family and friends. Bar."
Indeed, if the method of hatching Madoka is as Xu Daochang's senior brother said, then it cannot be solved by just rushing.
We must take a long-term view!
From now on, I will take the time to understand the geographical environment and other conditions of Changbai Mountain from all aspects.
When the time comes, in addition to facing the dangers of the inaccessible virgin forest itself, you must also pay attention to the monsters and ghosts hidden in it - you should be able to find a lot of this information in the internal databases of the State Forestry Administration and Xiuxing Company.
I can watch it slowly.
Thinking of this and having certain countermeasures in place, I feel less panicked than I did some time ago.
I stretched out my hand and gently stroked the bird egg that Madoka had turned into, and said softly.
"Don't worry, dead fat bird. I will definitely hatch you out again! I just don't know, will you have your current memories by then? Will you be a brand new life, or will you still carry your current memories?" "
I'm a little worried...
But even if Madoka no longer has her current memory, as long as she can come back to life, it wouldn't be a bad idea if we slowly told her what happened over the years, little by little!
It's like a long memory story.
I looked at Daozhang Xu and said sincerely.
"Daozhang Xu, I, Wu Zhong, have remembered your kindness! If I have any assignments in the future, I will definitely go through fire and water."
He waved his hand.
"Little friend Wu, you are serious. Some trivial matters are insignificant. You are the one who truly has great kindness to me and to the entire Xiuxing Southwest Branch. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid most of the senior management would be in conflict with the Ghost King of Qixinggang. Died."
To use the terminology of the later Internet era, we were "competing each other in business."
After saying that, they looked at each other and laughed.
"Has Dao Zhang Xu been busy lately? Staying in Yucheng, or returning to Qingcheng Mountain? Or maybe he was sent to work in various places by that guy Lao Shen, and he is very busy."
Madoka's matter has a clue and a solution, so I'm in a good mood! The gloom of recent days was gone, and now I felt like joking, chatting with Director Xu.
He also smiled lightly.
"Fellow Daoist Shen has always used and exploited Pindao like an ox or a horse, but recently my conscience has shown me to let me rest for a while. So I plan to go back to my hometown to have a look. It's obviously not that far away, but I have been there for many years. Never went back."
Speaking of this, Daochang Xu's face, which looked like he was only in his thirties or forties, showed a somewhat experienced expression.
In fact, in this era, people in their thirties and forties are still young adults!
However, his real age is definitely not the same as his appearance.
"Where is Elder Xu Dao from? Maybe our hometowns are not far apart."
I said something close.
After all, he is an elder of Qingcheng Mountain, and his accent is obviously from the Sichuan and Chongqing area, so he is obviously a local here.
"I'm from Lianghe Town, Fubei County, not far from Yucheng City. I wonder if Wu Xiaoyou has heard of this place..."
What? !
As soon as Director Xu said these words, I was immediately shocked.
Never imagined!
The elder of Qingcheng Mountain and the director of Xiuxing Southwest Branch can be regarded as a big boss in the entire southwest cultivation world. We are actually from the same hometown as me?
And he is from a town... Although my home is actually in a village, it is also an area under the jurisdiction of Lianghe Town.
Taoist priest Xu looked at my expression, a little confused, and asked with a slight frown.
"What's wrong, little friend Wu?"
I regained my composure and answered with a smile.
"It's okay, don't worry about Daozhang Xu. I'm just surprised that we are fellow villagers! And we are very close fellow villagers. Because I am also from Lianghe Town, Fubei County."
oh?
A hint of surprise flashed across Daochang Xu's face.
"Young friend Wu, you are actually from Lianghe Town? Then we are really fellow villagers!"
Um!
I nodded.
"It's just that I'm not from the town. I'm from Sangou Township and Wujia Village under Lianghe Town. What about you, Director Xu? Are you from the town or the countryside?"
he laughed.
"I'm from Lianghe Town. In the past, my family lived in the ravine northwest of the town."
etc……
The ravine northwest of the town? !
A thunderbolt suddenly flashed through my mind.
Isn't the northwest of Lianghe Town exactly where the junior high school I went to - Lianghe District Middle School?
To the east in the Lianghe District is Baijiabazi, where Lao Cao Daniu and I once dealt with a "blood evil" that was slightly weaker than an ordinary corpse evil.
A little further to the west, there is indeed a flat land at the bottom of a ravine formed by three small mountains running north to south, which is suitable for building the kind of mansions of wealthy people in ancient times.
And I have also been to that mansion...it is the Xu family mansion!
I blurted out.
"Xu Family Mansion, Director Xu...are you from the Xu Family in Lianghe Town?"
oh?
His expression was also a little surprised.
"After all these years, does anyone still know about the Xu family in Lianghe Town?"
I'm also a little excited.
"Daozhang Xu is indeed a member of the Xu family in Lianghe Town. Then do you know Xu Xinyi?"
Daochang Xu's expression was even more shocked.
"Wu Xiaoyou, you...how do you know Pindao's name? I am Xu Xinyi."
I:"……"
! ! !
"Xu Xinyi! It turns out that you, Taoist Master Xu, are Xu Xinyi."
I couldn't be more excited.
There is a dramatic sense of a legendary story becoming reality.
Moreover, Xu Xinyi is an ordinary person who is frightened and frightened when encountering evil creatures, but the "Taoist Master Xu" in front of him is an elder from a famous sect with powerful magic power!
When an ordinary evil spirit encounters him, it is estimated that he has suffered eight lifetimes of bad luck, right?
This huge contrast also makes me find it very interesting.
However, Daochang Xu himself was puzzled by my excitement.
"Little friend Wu, do any of the elders in your family... know Pindao? Or are they related to the Xu family?"
I shook my head and smiled.
"That's not true! It's just that I read in the "Fubei County Chronicle" about Daozhang Xu, who was engaged in grain business when he was young and encountered a "living corpse" on the Sichuan River..."
So that’s it!
Daochang Xu, the young grain merchant Xu Xinyi in the "Fubei County Chronicles", laughed while stroking his beard, with an expression of memories in his eyes.
"I met a living corpse while transporting grain on the Chuanjiang River... How long ago is that a memory? It was in the early years of the Republic of China, and it must have been nearly a hundred years ago. I remember that at that time, the county magistrate personally brought people to look for him. I wrote down the cause and effect of the incident and recorded it in the county annals. It feels like a lifetime ago."
Xu Xinyi himself seemed to be a little emotional when he recalled his experiences when he was young.
