Shen Shi walked all the way to Nanbao square in the south of Liuyun city. When he passed the gate of the fairyland shop on the busy long street, he looked inside and hesitated, but finally he shook his head and walked to the South Gate Square at the end of the long street.
As in the past, the place where scattered monks gather to set up stalls in Nantianmen is still crowded and noisy. Countless monks quarrel and debate here for a small profit, or for those who don't know whether it's true or not. Every time Shen Shi sees this scene, he often feels that from another perspective, the so-called superiority is far superior The friars above ordinary people are also ordinary people. They also have the seven emotions and six desires of ordinary people.
He walked around the crowd, looking aimless, just like most of the friars walking around. Before long, he came to the middle of the sanxiu market and stopped in front of a familiar stall. Eight years ago, when he was a teenager, he found an ordinary black pot in a stall here, and found the pure heart chapter of Yin Yang mantra, the secret method of the demon clan. This is the unique path of his cultivation.
Shen Shi's eyes turned around. Suddenly, he was stunned, but he saw that the man sitting on the stall was not the old Hou he had seen, but another middle-aged man with some wrinkles. At the same time, the man saw Shen Shi stop in front of his stall, and immediately warmly said: "this young man, do you like my talent here? You can choose which one. My things are absolutely good."
Shen Shi frowned and squatted down in front of his stall. He looked directly at the silk cloth in front of him. After a glance, he knew that six or seven of the top ten pieces were fake or inferior, and the rest were common goods. He shook his head. Naturally, he was not interested in these talents. Instead, he looked at the stall owner and said:
"boss, let me ask, isn't this stall the old one waiting for you? Why is he not here?"
The man was stunned. Obviously, he didn't expect Shen Shi to ask this question. He looked at Shen Shi and said, "what do you want to do with Lao Hou?"
"Do you know him?"
The man nodded and said, "well, I know you."
Shen Shi's heart a joy, even busy way: "then you know where he is now?"
The man hesitated for a while. He laughed, but he shook his head and said, "it seems that he hasn't been here for a long time, and I can't remember clearly."
Shen Shi looks at him, and the man says that he has no choice but to show his hand. But his eyes are a bit dodgy and flickering. After a moment, Shen Shi sighs, and finds a shining crystal in his waist pocket. He loses it.
The man reached for the crystal and immediately put it in front of him. After a close look, he laughed at Shen Shi and said:
"thank you!"
When Shen Shi left Nantianmen, he already knew something about Laohou from that man. In fact, this man really didn't know about Laohou's recent situation, because Laohou didn't come to Nantianmen to set up a stall to sell lingcai from a long time ago. Fortunately, in the past, this man had been setting up a stall in another stall near Laohou, so he was a little familiar with Laohou. He actually knew Laohou's usual address. Basically, that Lingjing bought this thing.
According to the address given by the man, Shen Shi went all the way to the east of LiuYun City, which was near the old house of Hou family. In fact, it's not like Chung's father who was defeated in the family, but some of them didn't rise in the family.
But then the Hou family suddenly fell down and was divided up by other aristocratic families. Lao Hou was also forced to move away. Almost at that time, his life began to change. Although he was not involved because of his estrangement from the Hou family, he never went to the south gate to set up a stall, and few people saw him again He.
Shen Shi walked along the street and stopped at a small alley a hundred feet away from the once beautiful mansion. He thought about it in his heart and found that the strange situation of old Hou was not long after the change happened in the Gaoling mountains that day, that is, when he realized that his only son, Hou Sheng, might never come back.
Shen Shi sighed in his heart and walked into the alley. This lane is on the edge of the long street. However, compared with the dirty lane where Ling Chunni ganniang lived before, it is much more lively here. Many families live here. Most of the houses in the alley are gray and narrow. Most of the people who live here are numb and tired. Only a few young naked children are still fighting and chasing with each other in this dark alley. They are full of innocence and joy that are not suitable for this place.
Shen Shi passed the children and came to the end of the alley. He knocked on the broken wooden door."Dong Dong Dong." The deep knock on the door reverberated, and several numb eyes around him looked at it, but no one wanted to interfere. Somehow, Shen Shi felt uncomfortable, and there was no response in the door. He frowned slightly, thinking that the man in front of him had given him false news? Or is Lao Hou no longer living here?
He knocked again for a while, but there was still no sound in the door. Shen Shi could not help but be a little worried. With a little more force, the wooden door creaked, but it opened directly in, and it was unlocked.
With the opening of the door, an abnormal stench floated out of the door. Although it was not particularly strong and choking, there was still a very uncomfortable feeling. Shen Shi hesitated for a moment and didn't go inside immediately. Instead, he stood at the door and took a look. He saw a figure lying on the ground in the gray and narrow room.
His heart moved, hesitated for a moment, or stepped in, went to the man's side, pulled his body, when the haggard and skinny face appeared in front of him, Shen Shi really didn't recognize that the man who was almost the same as the dead was the old Hou.
This man didn't really die. There was still a breath left between his mouth and nose. His breath was weak. But it seemed that as long as no one cared about him, he would die in this dark little black house in a short time.
Shen Shi finally managed to recognize Lao Hou from the only outline of his face.
Although Shen's only son would lose his heart when he looked at him for a long time.
Perhaps, a son, or a young man, after all, can't realize the feeling that the old man has lost his beloved child all his life.
Shen Shi squatted down beside Lao Hou and said, "Lao Hou, do you remember me?"
In his turbid and empty eyes, he didn't move, as if he didn't hear anything.
Shen Shi was silent for a moment and said, "my name is Shen Shi. I'm Hou Sheng's brother. Do you remember?"
Old Hou's eyes suddenly brightened. It seemed that after hearing the word Hou Sheng, he suddenly received a touch. Then he slowly turned his head and looked at Shen Shi with some difficulty.
His eyes were dull and powerless, and soon after seeing Shen Shi's face, he flashed a trace of indifference and disappointment, as if he was going back to the numbness and death before.
But at this time, suddenly, in front of Lao Hou's eyes, there was a new thing. It was a dog made of old cloth. It was very old and even out of shape. One of the back legs and the tail on the butt of the cloth dog had disappeared.
The old cloth dog doll was in Shen Shi's hand. He didn't know where he got it from and where he took it out. He put it in front of Lao Hou. When he saw the cloth dog, Lao Hou was shocked and his eyes suddenly showed an incredible brilliance. He suddenly raised his head and uttered a few vague words Clear words, but perhaps too long did not speak, or no strength, Shen Shi did not hear what he was saying.
However, there was no surprise on Shen Shi's face. Instead, he sighed softly and said in a low voice:
"come with me."
Old Hou slowly turned his head and looked at the unfamiliar young man, but he soon used up all his remaining strength and nodded desperately.
LiuYun City, xujiaxiyuan.
"Have you ever seen the ten scenes of Tianhong in Tianhong city? Are they really so beautiful and magical?"
Ling Chunni is lying on the table of Zhong Qingzhu's room, slightly looking at Zhong Qingzhu sitting on the bed not far away, and asks curiously.
Zhong Qingzhu shook his head and said, "it's not true. Maybe that time I saw five or six wonders. Although the ten scenic spots of Tianhong are famous, some of them are not seen all the year round. "
Ling Chunni pursed her lips. Her eyes seemed to yearn for it. She said in a soft voice, "when Shitou told me about this, he said that when he was in Tianhong City, he had only seen three wonders, namely, the sunset of the dragon bridge, the moon of the great wall and the city that never sleeps. Because of the shortage of time, he didn't go to see the rest."
Zhong Qingzhu said faintly: "these three places are indeed the most common. As far as I know, there are about five of the ten scenes. The other three scenes appear with the change of seasons. They can only be seen at a certain period of time in a year. In fact, the last two scenes have disappeared completely and can't be seen any more."
Ling Chunni was stunned and said, "what?"
Zhong Qingzhu said with a smile, "the Imperial Palace, Qiuyang, and Hongjun pillars were also among the ten scenic spots of Tianhong. However, after the war between man and demon ten thousand years ago, the imperial palace of TIANYAO royal court turned into a ruin. The destruction of Hongjun pillars in front of the demon Royal Palace has long been gone."
Ling Chunni nodded. She didn't speak for a while, but her eyes flickered, as if thinking about something. After a while, she gently raised her head and suddenly called out: "green bamboo."Zhong Qingzhu answered and said, "what?"
"Do you know how to get to Tianhong city?"
