Chapter 83 Knowing This Person
Zhi Baixiao nodded and said, "Find an old man who is about my age."
Hearing this, Yang Zengyue became alert.
This person must be here to find the master.
But she had never heard the master mention that he had friends. Could this person be her friend before she followed the master?
Yang Zengyue looked Zhi Baixiao up and down calmly and found that he was about the same age as his master and looked in good spirits.
Although he has a kind face, Yang Zengyue has a natural wariness towards people from his master's past.
Only those people could take the master away from Sikun Mountain, and only those people could harm the master, so she had to be cautious.
Yang Zengyue lowered his eyes, hiding the light in them. He thought for a long time before saying, "I grew up here. The only grandfather in the village who is about your age is Grandpa Fan from the village chief's family."
The other elderly people are all very old, and there are not many people in the village.
Zhi Baixiao never thought that the beautiful girl in front of him would lie to a kind old man like him. After all, it was their first meeting.
He hadn't contacted Shi Jiuyue for a long time, so long that he had forgotten he had such a friend.
So, even if he really lived here, the people here would not give him directions because they had no contact with him and had never heard of him.
Hearing Yang Zengyue say this, Zhi Baixiao felt a little embarrassed, because he only knew that Shi Jiuyue's last trace was Sikun Mountain, but he didn't know which village in Sikun Mountain it was.
There are three villages in the four directions of Sikun Mountain. He came here directly according to the hexagram.
Although I am very sure that he is in this area, there are still some deviations sometimes.
He saw the road leading up the mountain. It was obvious that he could reach the end, but he kept turning around and around and couldn't get out. The dog even forcibly dragged him down the mountain.
This also made him more certain that Shi Jiuyue was here, otherwise who would set up these weird things.
But the girl in front of him spoke with such sincerity that he began to doubt his own fortune.
Zhi Baixiao saw that the girl had no intention of inviting him into the house to sit down. It was such a hot day, and it was still hot at four or five in the afternoon.
Zhi Baixiao sighed in his heart. This girl is pretty but she is a bit stupid.
So Zhi Baixiao asked Yang Zengyue for a drink of water, and she gave him a bucket of well water and handed it to him: "I was busy at home today and didn't have time to boil water. This is the only well water."
His tone was flat, like an ordinary villager meeting a stranger.
Zhi Baixiao took it and thanked him, then thought about how he was old and couldn't even get the same "preferential treatment" as the young people. He sighed and coughed a few times.
Yang Zengyue complained in his heart that this man didn't look like a good person and he had to be taken away.
Fortunately, after the last time Pang Guanqun brought people to cause trouble, the villagers kept silent about the affairs of Master Jiuxiao and his apprentice, and even if the old man asked the villagers, he could not get any information.
Since there was only an old man named Fan who was about the same age as him and he didn't live in the mountains, that guy September must have been hiding on the other side of Sikun Mountain at that time, or, had he always lived in the mountains?
Looking at the dense vegetation of Sikun Mountain, Zhi Baixiao felt his scalp tingling. How could he find it?
Before leaving, Zhi Baixiao looked Yang Zengyue up and down and shook his head in his heart: What a pity that he has such a good-looking face, but he is not sweet-mouthed, not good at dealing with people, and he doesn't like to talk.
Seeing that she had good physique, I thought she would have some adventures, but I didn't expect her to be so ordinary and stay in this village.
It may be that the powerful formation of Sikun Mountain suppressed the luck of this girl. I originally wanted to give her some advice, but she was unlucky.
Zhi Baixiao shook his head and left.
After he left, Pumpkin chased him and barked a few times, as if he didn't like this person either.
Yang Zengyue waited until he could no longer smell Zhi Baixiao's scent in the air before quietly leaving the house and returning to the mountain.
Chen Jiaer was busy with other things just now and didn't notice her leaving. Seeing her suddenly come back from outside, she was surprised: "Sister Zengyue, what are you doing?"
Yang Zengyue walked into the main hall and saw the master actually telling fortunes. He walked over and sat opposite him. After he finished, he said, "Master, an old friend is here to see you."
Jiuxiao nodded.
He just knew it.
But he didn't want to see it.
Jiuxiao lowered his eyes and looked at the back of his hand. The blue veins and age spots on it reminded him that time passed and things and people changed.
"Just because you've dealt with it is enough. Don't worry about the rest. We'll see each other again when we return to Nanyuan."
Then, he told Yang Zengyue about Zhi Baixiao.
They used to be friends.
Originally, Zhi Baixiao should have been stationed in Sikun Mountain. He was an orphan chosen by the Shi family and had been secretly trained for many years.
When he becomes an adult, he will come to Sikun Mountain alone, receive instruction from the abbot of Xingyun Temple, and become the guardian of Xingyun Temple.
However, something unexpected happened along the way.
He fell in love with a girl, and for that girl he was willing to betray the Shi family and return everything the Shi family had given him.
They used to be very good friends.
At that time, Shi Jiuyue felt that the Shi family's actions were a bit cruel, so she supported Zhi Baixiao.
Agree to let him leave.
The only condition is to help him destroy the maps of the Yan and Bai families.
Zhi Baixiao agreed.
The two set up several traps and finally succeeded in getting the maps of the Yan and Bai families.
As for the Yun family, they had disappeared long ago and they couldn't find them, so they didn't get the share in the Yun family's hands.
After destroying the map, Zhi Baixiao changed his name and left the Shi family.
Shi Jiuyue said hello to Nanyuan's household registration, and after the matter was settled, she let him choose a name himself.
He didn't look or ask, so Shi Jiuyue had no idea what his final name was or where he went.
The two have had no contact since then, and the Shi family pretended that this person never existed.
Since he came here this time, he must have discovered the problems of the Shi family. It is also possible that he did not leave Nanyuan, but changed his identity to deal with those people.
He didn't want to know whether he came to him for advice or to give him a reminder.
The past is gone.
After listening to this, Yang Zengyue sighed inwardly.
The master couldn't bear to see his good friend spend his entire life on the Shi family, so he took on all of this.
I didn’t expect that my master was such a soft-hearted person when he was young.
Be very nice to your friends.
Yang Zengyue thought back to the old man he had seen. "He had a lonely aura about him. Master, I think he might not have been with that girl in the end."
The old man looked kind, but Yang Zengyue had seen someone even kinder in his previous life.
Ren Ji'an.
So you won’t assume that someone is a good person or a bad person just based on a single encounter.
However, she can accurately sense a person's aura.
"He must be very old too." Jiuxiao seemed to be recalling the past.
Yang Zengyue nodded: "He looks older than you, Master, and his health doesn't seem to be very good."
