Chapter 44 Section 5 Asking for directions
The place where heaven and earth meet is vast.
In the vastness, a lonely wooden house building is a tea pavilion. An old man, with a child, is simply busy boiling water and making tea.
The world is gray, and I don't know, where are the guests coming and going in such a place?
"Grandpa, isn't it good for us to do business here? I haven't seen anyone come here for tea for a long time!"
The seven- or eight-year-old child, with big eyes, looked at the old man and asked.
This old man is the child's grandfather.
The old man wears simple and simple coarse clothes, and the children around him are the same. He wears simple clothes and the childishness on his face is still very strong.
The old man sighed and said, "Oh, child, now, it's not easy to do business anywhere. There is a reason why we came here, do you know?"
The child looked confused and asked, "Grandpa, why did we come here? I don't understand!"
The old man gently stroked the child's head, looked at his confused eyes, then put down the kettle in his hand and said, "Son, if we open a teahouse somewhere else in Middle-earth, I'm afraid that in a short time, someone will come and drive us away."
"Oh, grandpa, I know. It's those villains in the Middle-earth. They do evil and kill a lot of people. We can't live there, Grandpa, but we come here. This is a wilderness, and few people come and go. It's not a way to go on like this?"
The child said like this.
The old man looked confused and looked into the distance. He thought in his heart that it was indeed the situation in Middle-earth. Now, even a seven- or eight-year-old child knows it.
However, if you stay here, although it is safer, there is no guarantee that he and his child can live well!
The old man shook his head and said, "Son, things are difficult. We can't help it. We just hope that one day this situation can get better."
"But when will it get better? By the way, Grandpa, where is this place? I don't know yet?"
The child asked like this.
The old man said, "This is the border of Middle-earth. You see, those mountains and peaks not far away are called evil mountains..."
Before the old man's words were finished, suddenly, a powerful white tiger roared over!
Extreme momentum!
The white tiger sat alone, dressed in white, extremely heroic!
There is another person next to the man in white who can't see his face clearly, but because he moves very fast, his body flashes and is a dark shadow!
The old man and the child were stunned!
"That's••••••••••"
The child didn't speak, only a loud shout--
"Shop, two pots of good tea!"
When the old man saw such a situation, how could he dare to stay longer? He hurriedly set up his seat and brought out two pots of tea!
The man above the white tiger finally stood still. Soon, he sat on the chair cleaned up by the old man, with bright eyes!
Lu Jianfeng!
This person is Lu Jianfeng!
"Shop, hurry up!"
The people around me spoke.
Black, bald, monk dressed, this man, needless to say, is Su Yao!
How did these two people come here?
It turned out that from Ruoshui, the two of them decided to go to the ghost gate. In the past few days, they soon came to the foot of the evil mountain.
Looking at the towering mountains, Lu Jianfeng fell into meditation.
"Jianfeng, we are going soon." Su Yao said like this.
"Please use it slowly - use it slowly••••••••" A pair of old hands that brought out tea were a little trembling!
"Who the hell is this person - these two people are not good at coming? The old man's heart was full of doubts and uneasiness.
"Grandpa, grandpa, what's wrong with you?" The child clearly saw his grandfather's strangeness.
"Child - you•••••" The old man patted the child gently, with a look on his face, looking at Lu Jianfeng and Su Yao awkwardly.
"What's the name of the child, the store?" Su Yao asked with a smile.
"Sung, children are ignorant, don't be surprised!" The old man said in a hurry.
Su Yao waved his hand and said with a smile, "Where is the child? What's his name?"
"My name is Tong Xiaoxiang, and this is my grandfather!" The child, named Tong Xiaoxiang, shouted out like this.
"It turned out to be Mr. Tong," Su Yao smiled and said.
Lu Jianfeng stared at Su Yao and this old Mr. Tong, and there was already doubt in his heart.
He has seen that Su Yao's expression was a little strange, and the old man was also uneasy.
The two of them seem to have known each other for a long time.
"Where is it, an old man in the mountain village made the monk laugh!" Mr. Tong said so.
"Tong Heyuan!"
Suddenly, Su Yao shouted!
In an instant, Mr. Tong was stunned!
The child, Tong Xiaoxiang, blinked his eyes and asked, "Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Grandpa, this guest is calling your name!"
This old Mr. Tong is called Tong Heyuan!
Lu Jianfeng was shocked and asked, "Uncle Su Yao, do you know this?"
Su Yao didn't say anything, but took a sip of tea and said, "Tong Heyuan, don't you even know me? Don't pretend!"
Su Yao's face was indifferent.
"Lord Ghost!"
Suddenly, the old gentleman knelt down!
His expression is very grim and uneasy!
"Tong Heyuan, in those years, you and I once had a friendship in the ghost gate. I didn't expect to see you here, but you don't seem to want to see me!"
Su Yao said.
"Where!"
Mr. Tong is really not an ordinary person!
"Lord Ghost, are you - are you going to the ghost gate?"
Su Yao laughed and said, "Exactly!"
When he said this, Su Yao looked calm!
Lu Jianfeng was extremely confused, but he saw that Su Yao seemed to have his own ideas in his heart, so he stopped talking.
Obviously, it's Su Yao. How can this old gentleman recognize him as a ghost?
Lu Jianfeng was still confused. At this time, Su Yao said, "Tong Heyuan, if I hadn't helped you escape from the ghost door, you would not have opened a teahouse here today, would you?"
"This uncle, you - do you know my grandfather?"
Tong Xiaoxiang's childish voice sounded.
"Haha, Xiaoxiang, you're right. I know your grandfather. We are old friends!"
Su Yao smiled and said.
Suddenly, a shadow shook!
"Hey!"
Su Yao flashed and ran to the dark shadow!
Lu Jianfeng can see clearly that this dark shadow is this old gentleman!
"Xiaoxiang, how old are you this year?"
Lu Jianfeng attracted the child's attention.
"Grandpa - where is grandpa going?"
Tong Xiaoxiang shouted out in a hurry!
"Xiaoxiang, grandpa and that uncle are old friends. They are going to whisper. We won't disturb them, okay?" Lu Jianfeng said like this.
Tong Xiaoxiang blinked his eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "Well, okay."
In a blink of an eye, Su Yao and this black shadow, Tong Heyuan, have come to a secluded place.
There is no one around.
"Lord Ghost, please don't hurt him - Xiaoxiang!"
Tong Heyuan said like this, pleading.
Su Yao smiled. It seems that he is still very willing to be a "ghost".
"Don't panic. The child is so cute. How can I hurt him?" Su Yao said.
"Well - what do you want?"
Tong Heyuan asked.
"Well, as long as you tell me the mysterious path to the ghost gate, we will leave immediately after drinking tea." Su Yao said like this.
"So that's it! Well, Lord Ghost, I'll show you this path.
Tong Heyuan said so.
"Haha, good! He is worthy of being a mysterious disciple of the Ghost Gate in those years, but he has disappeared for so many years, and his skills have not decreased at all! Your grandson, why don't you teach him some spells?
Su Yao asked.
"The world is unpredictable. It's better to be a wanderer at ease!"
