Chapter 273: The Night Pot Village Meets Wordlessly
What? Brother Tunan doesn’t know them anymore? How is this possible?!
After hearing this news, in addition to the incomparable Yunlong Temple, even Zhiyuan frowned. She had a few encounters with Chen Tunan. Although she was not a close friend, after knowing his deeds from the three of them over the years, she also realized that he was a hero who stood up to the top, so she really admired him. Xiaobai was even more shocked at that time. In their youth, Chen Tunan was the most powerful place in the entire Doumiguan younger generation. Although he rarely spoke, he always regarded them as beautiful women in his heart. How could such a powerful but gentle senior brother suddenly remember them?
"What the hell is going on?" Shisheng finally couldn't help it, but the street was not a place to speak, so Shisheng hurriedly pulled Liu Bolun and Li Hanshan to fly up. After a few people were ups and downs, they found a secluded place where no one was. After they stood firm, Liu Bolun told in detail what he had just seen.
Liu Bolun said that about half an hour ago, they were asking about the whereabouts of the mysterious man on the street, but when they asked many people, they still had no results. Liu Bolun was a little anxious, and he had not eaten for a whole morning. At this time, he suddenly heard the aroma of food coming from a restaurant, which made him greedy. So he and Li Hanshan suggested to go and use some food first and wait until he had enough food to continue inquiries.
Although Li Hanshan was careless, he also understood Liu Bolun's temperament. Now he was afraid that he could not persuade him. It was good to take a break at this time, because after finding the clue, he didn't know when the next break would be, so Li Hanshan and Liu Bolun walked towards the restaurant, entered the restaurant, and sat at the table. When Liu Bolun ordered wine and food, he was a little sleepy. Li Hanshan sat on the chair and yawned, but he couldn't close his mouth at the time.
A middle-aged man walked out of the kitchen of the restaurant. The man was strong and dressed in shabby clothes. A thick hemp rope wrapped around his shoulders with patches was placed on his shoulders. He was wearing a cotton hat on his head and a rusty iron axe was inserted between his waist.
Although this was an ordinary woodcutter dress, Li Hanshan's mouth was wide open at the time and his eyes turned red in an instant. After ordering the dishes, Liu Bolun saw his strangeness, so he turned his head to look at his eyes and then looked at it. He felt that the scene in front of him was too dreamy and not as real as it was.
Because the middle-aged man dressed as a woodcutter was obviously their senior brother Chen Tunan!
How could Senior Brother Tunan fall into such a field? Seeing Chen Tunan strolling to the counter at this time, the restaurant shopkeeper threw him a few big money. Chen Tunan counted carefully, then nodded to the display cabinet and then walked outside the restaurant as if no one was around. Passing by Liu and Li's table, he didn't even look at it.
Liu Bolun and Li Hanshan were still sitting there now? They hurriedly got up and chased the door. The shopkeeper tried to keep him behind him, but they could not care about food and drink? After leaving the restaurant, they saw that Chen Tunan had not yet walked away, so they rushed to him in a hurry. Li Hanshan looked at the senior brother who had been taking care of him since childhood. So while tears could not stop, he saw him step forward and hugged him tightly, and shouted excitedly: "Senior brother! Why are you here? After so many years, we, we, are you very worried about you!"
Liu Bolun was also very excited at the time. He had not seen each other for many years. How could he not move him when he met again? But they never expected that when they were very excited, Chen Tunan suddenly exclaimed: "Oh, what's going on? Don't joke. Did the two old men recognize the wrong person?"
What? Li Hanshan was stunned for a moment, then let go of his arms, but when he saw that "Chen Tunan" grinning, he could not bear Li Hanshan's strength just now. Li Hanshan looked at his reaction and hurriedly said, "How could he recognize the wrong person! Senior brother, I am Hanshan, your junior brother Li Hanshan! Although his appearance has changed slightly over the years, it is impossible for you to not recognize me."
"Uncle, don't joke." I saw that "Chen Tunan" smiled awkwardly, then picked up the rope tied with firewood from the ground, and smiled at Liu Bolun and Li Hanshan in front of me, "How can you talk about the same kind of people as the two old men? Don't let the two old men spend the time. If the villain has a place to offend, please ask the two old men to atone for their sins. The villain bows to the two old men again and bows."
After saying that, "Chen Tunan" really bowed to the two people who were already shocked on the street. Looking at his humble expression, how could he have a trace of facing the heroic brother in their hearts?
But he is Chen Tunan! In addition to his temperament, he is just the same in appearance and height! Li Hanshan is so familiar with this face, so how could he admit his mistake?
Seeing that "Chen Tunan" was so despised by himself, Li Hanshan quickly knelt down on the ground, and then cried: "Senior Brother, what's wrong with you? Did Hanshan do something wrong? Why don't you recognize us? Do you know that we have missed you very much over the years, but why are you……………”
"Are you sick?" The 'Chen Tunan' looked at Li Hanshan for no reason. At this time, the people on the street looked at him because of their words and deeds. The 'Chen Tunan'' expression was very awkward, so after cursing quietly, he hugged Li Hanshan in front of him and said, "Master, you really recognize the wrong person, and the villain really doesn't know you."
After saying that, he turned around and left. When Li Hanshan saw his senior brother leaving, he couldn't help but want to chase him, but as soon as he got together, he was pinned to the spot by Liu Bolun. Li Hanshan struggled unreasonably and said, "Drunk guy let me go, senior brother! Senior brother, don't leave!"
Liu Bolun said seriously in his ear: "Don't call me! What's the matter with you like this? I ask you, are you sure that's really Senior Brother Tunan?!"
"Why isn't it!" Li Hanshan cried, "I grew up with him since I was a child. Even if he turned into ashes, I would recognize him. He is the senior brother! Let me go and I want to ask clearly!"
"What's the use of letting go of you now?" Liu Bolun shouted: "Since you know he is Senior Brother Toonan, why don't you think about why he doesn't recognize us? Is there any hidden truth in him? You calm down first, can you not act so arrogantly? Do you want to ruin this street?!"
The reason why Liu Bolun hugged Li Hanshan was because Li Hanshan was excited that his spiritual power began to fluctuate. The snow around him began to melt, and the dust in the air also fluctuated inexplicably. The spiritual power was originally a double-edged sword. The good side could protect the people, while the bad side would destroy the world.
If Li Hanshan lost control here, I'm afraid all the shops and pedestrians on this street would not be spared. At that time, they really regretted it too late. After listening to Liu Bolun's words, Li Hanshan also found something strange around him, so he suppressed his emotional fluctuations. At this moment, the figure of "Chen Tunan" had already turned and walked far at the intersection.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"That's it." When he talked about this, Liu Bolun sighed and said, "I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, but Senior Brother Tunan really didn't recognize us, and he didn't look like he was pretending."
After hearing Liu Bolun's words, Shisheng instantly recalled the familiar figure he had seen on the street before. The woodcutter dressed up. Could it be that the man was Senior Brother Tunan? Thinking of this, Shisheng also asked anxiously: "Then have you two checked? Where did he go?"
Liu Bolun sighed: "Hanshan is sure that it is Senior Brother Tunan. I also went back to the restaurant and asked the old shopkeeper. The shopkeeper said that the man was called 'He Ada', and he was a woodcutter who delivered firewood to them, and lived in the chamber pot village outside the city."
Shisheng was shocked when he heard this, "Janu Village? Damn it, why is it that Roomow Village again?"
Liu Bolun saw that his expression was a little wrong at that time, so he asked him what was wrong with that village. So Shisheng then told him about his experience just now. When he learned that the mysterious person they were looking for was also in the "Janu Village", Liu Bolun and Li Hanshan were also very surprised. It was so coincidental that Chen Tunan's residence was also a mysterious person...........................!?
A vague premonition suddenly appeared in Shisheng's heart, so he subconsciously asked, "Drunk, did you see him when you saw Senior Brother Tunan?"
After saying that, Shisheng pointed to his temple. Li Hanshan hurriedly said, "How is that possible! How could that person be a senior brother? How could he be…………………………………………………”
Shisheng sighed. How could he not believe Chen Tunan? But these two facts are too coincidental. The characteristics and residence of the mysterious man are consistent with Chen Tunan, so why don’t people doubt it? Liu Bolun knew that the matter was important, so he did not dare to neglect. After pondering for a while, he spoke: "No, I still can't be sure, because Senior Brother Tunan wore a cotton hat and only showed his face. It's really unclear whether he has scars! Shisheng, what should we do now? I'm in chaos."
After saying that, he glanced at Li Hanshan, and Li Hanshan was also frowning. Shisheng sighed and looked at the sky above his head. It was already afternoon. In the cold north, the afternoon was very short. All the problems they had to face now pointed to the Roomhu Village, so where can they go besides there?
But to be honest, even Shisheng couldn't bear to go there at this time, not only because Chen Tunan was there, but also because of the "resurrection of the dead". If, I mean, if, if this matter was really done by Chen Tunan, does that mean that Senior Brother Tunan has seen the "Tai Sui" and even………………
When Shisheng thought of this, he didn't dare to think about it anymore, because no matter what, they would finally find out the truth about this matter.
So, everyone with concern decided to go to the Roomhu Village to find out the truth.
As mentioned earlier, the Room Pot Village, which was born on the mountain, is the residence of hunters and woodcutters. It is not far from the north. With Shisheng leading the way, it was not long before it left the city with the strength of everyone. The mountain wind was howling, the small village was slightly depressed, dilapidated earthen houses were scattered everywhere, the roofs were covered with snow, and the misty smoke rose from the chimney, and the temperature of the firewood mixed with cold came towards us.
It is such a poor village, and it is hard to imagine that Senior Brother Tunan would live here.
The people in a complicated mood walked into the village. The fluffy snow under their feet made a creaking sound. Occasionally, some villagers carrying Jingchai walked by the distance with heavy steps. All the villagers were pale and thin, showing that they were barely suffering from the torture of hunger and cold. After seeing them, the simple villagers showed more or less fear in their eyes. In addition, they also had a look of expectation.
Along the way, four or five villagers who were brave enough to come forward had already met them. They asked them if they were passing merchants and whether they needed to stay or not, as long as they were a small price. Shisheng tactfully declined, and just when he wanted to inquire with the villagers about Chen Tunan's whereabouts, suddenly there was a burst of scolding from the children not far away.
Shi Sheng looked at it. But next to a well on his right hand, a group of children half aged with wooden sticks and stones were beating and scolding a dirty man. The children's expressions were all very angry and they were merciless. The dirty man who was beaten by him could only roll on the ground with his head in his arms.
"Stop fighting." After seeing this, the kind-hearted Xiaobai hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and wanted to stop them, but the children still had no intention of stopping. It was not until Xiaobai took out a few pieces of dry food from the package that they stopped. After seeing this, the villager next to Shisheng smiled embarrassedly, "I'll make you laugh. He's an old madman with a sore head. Usually, no one at home likes to steal food... I won't say this anymore. Don't you really want to stay?"
"Thank you, no need, I'll ask you for personal information." Shisheng asked, "Do you know there is a name called He..."
"Brother Shisheng!!"
Before Shisheng could ask all the words, the Chicken by the well actually exclaimed. Looking at her, she seemed to have seen something that shocked her! After hearing her screams, everyone hurriedly went up to ask what happened. Xiaobai covered his mouth at the time, his big eyes widened, and he looked at the dirty man on the ground tightly.
After the children dispersed, the dirty man sat up as he saw that there were still some dry food residues on the ground, he reached out and picked it up and stuffed it into his mouth with Canxue. When Xiaobai saw that he was pitiful, he took out another piece of dry food and handed it to him. The dirty man reached out to take the dry food, then raised his head and smiled at Xiaobai. This scared Xiaobai to a great extent!
The reason why Xiaobai is afraid is because she knows this dirty man. Isn’t this the former master of conduct?
Everyone stayed there.
He is indeed a Taoist priest! But now he is very embarrassed. He is wrapped in a torn cotton jacket, and his gray hair has fallen off most of his gray hair. His eyes are dull, his face is covered with snow-covered shoe prints. After eating dry food voraciously, he giggles at the few people.
Shisheng and the others are really familiar with this style. He was once a law enforcer of Doumi Temple. His status was only under the sensible. He usually did not laugh, and he rewarded and punished Doumi disciples. He had a high reputation and status in the world. He was once one of the top five masters in the world listed by Yiyan clan.
What's wrong with this world? First, Brother Tunan and then Taoist Master Feng. What happened to them?
And just as everyone looked at each other and didn't know what to do, a woman ran over next to a dirt house in the distance. The woman ran and shouted anxiously: "Dad! Why did you run out by yourself? I have told you many times that the cake was in the cupboard. Have you forgotten......Ah? What do you guys want to do? Don't bully my dad, I'll tell you...I.........?!"
Sometimes, fate is so unexpected. Shisheng turned his head to look at this very familiar voice, but saw the woman stunned, and they just looked at each other, and they couldn't speak.
The woman looked over 20 years old, wearing a dark purple cotton jacket, and was stunned as if she was a sculpture. Her eyes that seemed to be able to talk revealed a look of at a loss at this time. Isn’t this the weird Green Lotus Senior Sister back then?
It turns out they are all here!
After seeing the Luluo, Shisheng and others hurriedly met. Shisheng said excitedly to the at a loss of Luluo: "Senior Sister, why are you here?"
"Shisheng..." Luluo's eyes also turned red. She looked at these familiar brothers. She hadn't seen each other for many years. At that moment, she seemed to have thousands of words in her heart, but they were all blocked in her throat. I don't know where to start. After a while, she smiled bitterly and then said, "Why are you here?"
"Let's come to find Senior Brother Tunan!" Li Hanshan couldn't help but say, "Also, Master... How could he become like this when Uncle Master?"
Luluo sighed, then looked at his poor father, walked up to help him up, and then said softly to Shisheng and the others: "It's hard to say anything, you... haven't eaten yet, go to my house first. Let's talk about it later."
While speaking, Luluo supported the crazy Taoist priest walking forward. Before he walked far, he led Shisheng and the others to a simple small yard. There were two broken dirt houses in the yard, and the window paper of the house was covered with paper patches. A few strings of dried peppers were blown against the edge of the bed, and several wooden racks were placed in front of the window. The deer skin on it was frozen and stiff. The door was closed, but there were still gaps, and the wind blew.
Luluo pushed the door and entered the room. First, he called a few people to sit around the brazier. Everyone helped Taoist Master Xingfeng to the inner room. After the placement was completed, he walked out with a plate of fried beans. She smiled awkwardly and said, "There is nothing good in the small place. You can eat some beans to make your stomach first."
It can be seen that their lives are very poor. Looking at this leaking house, everyone felt a little sad. Why are they now falling into such a field? So there is no appetite for a few people. After the green ivy sat down a little crampedly, Shisheng hurriedly asked: "Senior sister, what's going on? Why are you......"
"How could I be here? How could I live such a life?" Lu Luo smiled faintly. Then she sighed: "Shisheng, you should have seen it too. My father... has been crazy for a long time."
This matter starts with the end of the battle to the world. On the night of Doumi Temple’s surprise change many years ago, Xingyun tried to deceive the righteous way of the world into becoming the leader of the righteous way, but he did not expect that the cause and effect would cause and effect. The appearance of Taoist Master Xinghuan, who had endured for more than 20 years, turned his ambition into a bubble.
That night, Shisheng learned about his life experience. That night, Douji withered rice, Xingdian and Xinghuan died in battle, and Xingyun, the two tragedies of the "chaotic times", were also retribution. Xingyun was defeated by Qin Chenfu with one move, and Xingfeng felt ashamed that the evil things he had done back then were exposed in front of the people of the world. He did not have the strong obsession as Xingyun, and overnight, he fell from the respected sword immortal to the despised scum. This gap between peaks and troughs made him unable to accept that he was extremely concerned about reputation, and all his dignity disappeared. At that moment, Xingfeng only felt as if he was naked and exposed in full view of the public. The nightmare of killing his fellow disciples emerged, and his shame and self-blame surged out like a tide. A bad breath in his heart rolled upward, and he lost his rationality, and he became a madman from then on.
Later, Chen Tunan felt sorry for their mother and daughter, so he took them to Laoshan for service. Chen Tunan wanted to live a stable life like this, but the increasingly despicable thief was determined to be undead, so he and Qiao Zimu tried to assassinate Qin Chenfu, and used this to regain reputation and the dream of becoming an immortal.
But their delusions were once again destroyed at the top of the Xianmen Mountain. On the night of the demon subduing night eleven months ago, Xingyun was killed by Qin Chenfu, and his infamy began to spread far and wide. Doumiguan was destroyed. The disciples of the disciples left one after another. In the end, only the three of them were left, and they had to face many people who wanted to become famous to come to provoke.
Chen Tunan lived such a life of licking blood from the knife, so he led them out of the world, and then hid their names and came to this cold northern country, living the life of ordinary people.
So that's the case.
After hearing the words of Luluo, everyone sighed, especially Shisheng. Although Xingfeng Xingyun was the initiator of his tragic fate, he looked like this now, and the once famous "Fight Mi Guan Eight Heroes" has now become a crazy and dirty man who can even be bullied by children in the countryside.
Shisheng found that he no longer hated him, and even felt that he was a little pitiful, because this fate had given them the most severe punishment. Those who wanted to become immortals had died and those who wanted to seek fame became so humble. This is the case in the world. How can the obsession with forced responsibilities get good results?
So Shisheng sighed, then asked the green ivy: "Where is Senior Brother Tunan? The drunkard and the others met him in the city just now, why does he not recognize us now?"
After hearing this, Luluo smiled bitterly, added a piece of firewood into the brazier, and sighed to the few people: "Brother, he doesn't recognize you, but he can't recognize you anymore. Shisheng, there have been too many things happening over the years. Don't blame the eldest brother for being wrong. He has now become an ordinary person who knows martial arts."
"How could this happen?!" Shisheng and Li Hanshan stood up together, and asked the Green Ivy at the same time: "How could the eldest brother lose his memory? What happened to him in the past six months?"
Chapter completed!
