Chapter 200: A beauty back then, an old woman today (please vote)
“Tong Peipei.”
Wei Tu raised his eyebrows and read out the name of the person who signed the note.
Tong Peipei was a fellow talisman master he met when he lived in the shanty town of Danqiu Mountain. Later, he moved into the small courtyard on Yunque Street and married He Lianxiong.
The wedding of two people,
Wei Tu also joined the group.
From a time perspective, Tong Peipei can be considered an old acquaintance of Wei Tu.
However, Wei Tu and Tong Peipei are just old acquaintances, not close friends.
Decades ago, He Lianxiong joined the "Shu Yun League" and collaborated with Master Shu Dan and others to plot against Wei Tu. This old relationship has long been broken due to this.
"I guess you need something from me." Wei Tu could roughly guess the reason why Tong Peipei sent him the talisman letter without reading the content of the talisman letter.
He opened the talisman letter and took a look.
As expected, this talisman letter was Tong Peipei's letter asking for help.
The beginning of the letter.
Tong Peipei first said a few words of greetings to Wei Tu, and then talked about some of his experiences over the years.
More than twenty years ago, after Danqiu Mountain was captured by the devil, Tong Peipei, like other casual cultivators, drifted from Danqiu Mountain to Honghe Mountain.
With her skills as a talisman master, Tong Peipei can live a pretty good life in Honghe Mountain.
But a few years later, something unexpected happened.
Tong Peipei accidentally offended a foundation-building monk.
Since killing is strictly prohibited in Honghe Shanfang City, the foundation-building monk only cut off one of Tong Peipei's hands but did not take Tong Peipei's life.
Logically speaking, this is the best of misfortunes.
It's just that Tong Peipei's livelihood depends entirely on her hands that can make talismans.
After breaking off the hand.
Tong Peipei’s life is getting worse and worse.
Today, after hearing about Wei Tu's deeds in "Wanshu Pavilion", Tong Peipei wrote a letter to Wei Tu, hoping that Wei Tu could help her for the sake of an old friend.
“Where is He Lianxiong?” After Wei Tu read the letter, doubts arose in his heart.
In the entire letter, there is no mention of Tong Peipei’s foundation-building Taoist companion, He Lianxiong.
If He Lianxiong was here, Tong Peipei would not have suffered this misfortune.
“Tong Peipei has a hot temper. In the first few years after coming to Honghe Shanfang City, she probably offended the Foundation Establishment monk because she was a Foundation Establishment Taoist monk..."
“Unexpectedly, many years later, there was no news from Helianxiong. The foundation-building monk settled the accounts with her after her fall..."
“After all, generally speaking, there is no chance that a Qi-training monk will offend a Foundation-building monk.”
Based on Tong Peipei’s character and the content of the letter, Wei Tu roughly speculated on Tong Peipei’s true experience in these years.
At that time, Tong Peipei was provoked by the "Mao Talisman Master" who came to him directly to question him about the sales of "Jingxin Talisman" indiscriminately.
Three years old is considered young, seven years old is considered old.
Before she lost her hand, Tong Peipei’s life was going smoothly without any setbacks.
Unlikely to undergo a drastic change in personality.
"Judging from the time, Tong Peipei should not know that He Lianxiong and Shu Yunmeng are plotting against me. Otherwise, she would not dare to send me a letter today and ask me for help."
Wei Tu shook his head.
He speculated that the reason why He Lianxiong had not been heard from was related to his killing Master Shu Dan.
After the death of Master Shu Dan.
Shopkeeper Fan, who had been contacted by Jiuyun Chamber of Commerce, directly applied for rotation and went to the front line of the battlefield to join the Demon Sect monks.
It would probably be the same if it were He Lianxiong.
He did not dare to stay in the immortal world of Zheng State any longer, so he went far away and abandoned Tong Peipei, a Taoist companion. "Let's go take a look first." Wei Tu thought of Tong Peipei's previous friendship with him, and also thought of his own reputation, so he flicked his sleeves and fled out of Yunyanju.
No matter whether Tong Peipei knew about He Lianxiong's plot against him or not, on the surface, he had nothing to do with "Master Shu Dan's death".
It is unjustifiable not to take care of old friends.
In addition, Wei Tu also planned to see if he could find traces of He Lianxiong and other Shu Yun League monks from Tong Peipei.
Wei Tu did not forget that the "Liu Zuo Shi" of the Tiannv sect who was related to Shu Yunmeng once suspected that he was related to Si Qing's death.
Hence, finding the traces of Shu Yunmeng was enough for him to be prepared and safe.
…
Honghe Shanfang City, peripheral area.
In shanty town.
Wei Tu fell from the air to a shack, reached out and knocked on the door.
We haven’t seen Tong Peipei for many years, and Wei Tu was quite moved by the fact that Tong Peipei was once again reduced from being a Taoist monk to living in a shanty town.
After waiting for a while.
The wooden door of the shack opened, revealing an old-looking female nun in her sixties.
This sixty-year-old female cultivator has gray hair, wearing a half-worn red robe, and a light make-up on her face.
Wei Tu subconsciously looked at the sixty-year-old female cultivator's arms hanging at her waist. When she saw that her right arm was missing, she withdrew her gaze.
“I haven’t seen you for decades, and my fellow Taoist Tong is getting old.” Wei Tu sighed with emotion.
Wei Tu could tell that Tong Peipei's appearance today was specially made for him to see.
The old friend wears old clothes to remind him to reminisce about his old friendship and not to forget his past friendship.
"Senior Wei is a foundation-building monk, and his appearance is ageless. The old woman... is already one hundred and sixty-five years old. It is normal for Qi and blood to decline..." Tong Peipei replied with a wry smile.
After finishing speaking, Tong Peipei bowed and invited Wei Tu into the house as a guest.
Weitu nodded and walked into the shack where Tong Peipei lived.
He found a stool at random and sat down. At the same time, he waved his hand to signal Tong Peipei not to be too polite.
"How come I didn't see Fellow Daoist Helian in this room? If Fellow Daoist Helian was there, Fellow Daoist Tong wouldn't have..."
Weitu expressed his inner doubts.
What he was thinking just now were all his inner guesses. If they were true or false, he had to ask Tong Peipei once.
Mentioning He Lianxiong, Tong Peipei showed a trace of hatred in her eyes, she said: "When that guy and I got married, we made a vow that when I get old and my beauty fades, I will be abandoned like a worn-out shoe! "
Tong Peipei blamed He Lianxiong for all her unhappiness and dissatisfaction in the past ten years.
You must know that she also contributed a lot to He Lianxiong's foundation building.
Had she not presented Wei Tu with her first-level Talisman Master inheritance, it was still uncertain whether Wei Tu would have agreed to draw the "Demon Refining Talisman" at that time.
After scolding He Lianxiong.
Like a resentful woman, Tong Peipei recounted her experiences over the years from Danqiu Mountain to Honghe Mountain.
It’s almost the same as Wei Tu guessed.
At first, Tong Peipei thought that she could rely on He Lianxiong, a foundation-building Taoist monk, so she could not help but be "misplaced" in her actions and forgot her duty as a Qi-practicing monk.
After He Lianxiong disappeared and there was no news from him, the "revenge" of other monks followed.
Hands cut off, bullying, etc.
It can be said that, to a certain extent, Tong Peipei's current situation is indeed caused by He Lianxiong's "abandoned wife".
Wei Tu on the side did not comment on the matter.
Although he felt that He Lianxiong's matter was not very honest, no matter how urgent it was, he would not leave no news at all. But when he thought that He Lianxiong's escape was also related to him, he couldn't comment.
