The Fairy Lingyue on the side took a look at the tombstone. On the tombstone carved from the leg bone of a black Demonic beast , the words ‘Tomb of Xu Zhian’ were written extremely neatly, and the signature was ‘Eldest grandson, erected by Xu Taiping’.
Regarding Xu Taiping’s grandfather Xu Zhian, the Fairy Lingyue had tried to contact him several times when she woke up briefly in the earth fruit. However, every time she was about to talk to him, she was forced to fall asleep due to insufficient divine essence.
So she only knew that this was an old farmer who liked to follow the rules, was honest and often carried his little grandson to the fields.
’Hua la la…’
At this time, I saw Xu Taiping take out a pot of ordinary strong wine, spill half a pot on the muddy ground in front of the tombstone, and then drink the remaining half pot ‘gu long gu long’ in one gulp.
’Hu…’
After a long sigh of relief, Xu Taiping very solemnly knelt in front of the tomb and kowtowed three times, and then grinned and looked at the tombstone in front of him and said:
’Grandpa, grandson is leaving. The scenery on the mountain that you like, grandson will definitely see it for you!’
’If one day, grandson has seen all the scenery on this mountain and can go on a tour in the sky, grandson will come to see you again!’
Hearing Xu Taiping’s promise to his grandfather Xu Zhian, a soft smile inexplicably appeared on the face of the Fairy Lingyue.
’Taiping, still the same Taiping.’
The Fairy Lingyue smiled and thought to herself in her heart.
”Let’s go, Sister Lingyue. Let’s go to the imperial city. We can’t keep Senior Brother and Senior Sister waiting for a long time.”
At this time, Xu Taiping, who had already stood up, called out to the Fairy Lingyue.
”Let’s go.”
The Fairy Lingyue first nodded, and then smiled helplessly and said:
”It seems that we have really been tricked by Liantong again.”
”Wait!”
Just as the Fairy Lingyue returned to the gourd and Xu Taiping was about to leave by riding the wind, a somewhat childish boy’s voice suddenly sounded behind the two of them.
”Who?”
After hearing this voice, Xu Taiping was shocked in his heart, and immediately took out the Piyun Umbrella and opened it with a “bang”.
”Pop!”
Just at this time, on the open space behind Xu Taiping’s grandfather’s grave, a lump of soil as big as a manhole cover was suddenly pushed open, revealing a dark cave entrance.
Seeing this suddenly pushed open cave entrance, both Xu Taiping and the Fairy Lingyue were shocked in their hearts.
Because they had just repeatedly used their soul power to sense, and neither of them had Perceived the existence of this cave.
Just as they were on full alert, a small head wearing a bamboo hat suddenly stuck out from the cave like a marmot.
It was a little boy about ten years old.
However, before Fairy Lingyue and Xu Taiping could clearly see the appearance of the little boy, he retracted his head wearing the bamboo hat again.
As soon as the little boy’s head retracted into the cave, Xu Taiping and Fairy Lingyue immediately couldn’t sense any of hissmell anymore.
“The hat on this little doll’s head seems to be a treasure that can blocksmell.”
Fairy Lingyue suddenly said very definitely.
Xu Taiping nodded.
He also felt that the hat was a bit strange.
“Little guy, are you from Qingniu Village?”
Xu Taiping probed and asked the little boy.
”Your name is Xu Taiping, right?”
The little boy didn’t answer, but instead asked Xu Taiping rhetorically.
”How do you know my name?”
Xu Taiping was a little surprised.
”You… you just need to answer me… yes or no!”
The little boy said with a somewhat nervous tone.
He still refused to stick his head out of the hole when he spoke.
”I am.”
Xu Taiping nodded.
”You grew up in Qingniu Village and were then taken to the mountain by an immortal to practice cultivation, that Xu Taiping?”
The little boy asked again.
”Yes.”
Xu Taiping nodded again.
After hearing Xu Taiping’s answer, the little boy suddenly stuck his head out of the hole, then grabbed the edge of the bamboo hat with both hands and stared at Xu Taiping very vigilantly, saying:
”Since you are that Xu Taiping, you must surely remember the incident when you were almost sold as a page boy when the immortal took you up the mountain?”
”I remember.”
Xu Taiping nodded and carefully examined the little boy’s features, and then found that he had a somewhat resemblance to his cousin, that is, the son of Second Ox Uncle.
”Could it be…”
A guess gradually emerged in his heart.
”Do you still remember how much silver your second uncle and aunt sold you for at that time?”
The little boy then asked Xu Taiping again.
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping did not answer, but just stared at the little boy without blinking.
”You… hurry up and say… how… how much silver?”
The little boy asked somewhat timidly.
“Thirty taels.” ”
Xu Taiping looked at the little boy with a smile on his face.
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the little boy wearing a bamboo hat suddenly lit up, and then he flipped over and climbed out of the hole, and ran towards Xu Taiping with tears of joy, saying:
”Grand-uncle, I finally see you!”
However, just as the little boy was about to pounce on Xu Taiping, he was picked up by Xu Taiping with one hand.
”You are the descendant of my uncle Xu Erniu, right?”
Xu Taiping asked with a smile while holding the little boy.
”Hmm, hmm, hmm, that’s my great-grandfather!…”
The little boy nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice.
”Your great-grandfather and them…”
As soon as Xu Taiping said this, he realized that this question was a bit stupid. After all, very few ordinary people in the secular world live to such an old age.
”Great-uncle, my great-grandfather passed away before I was born. My grandfather passed away when I was six years old. My father… my father…”
The little boy seemed to guess what Xu Taiping wanted to ask, but before he could finish speaking, his expression dimmed.
”Your father, he died in this fire, right?”
Xu Taiping gently put the little boy down.
”Yes…”
The little boy first nodded instinctively, and then shook his head vigorously and said:
”No, that’s not it. My father and I both escaped that fire. After the fire went out, my father found a villain who set the fire, so he settled me here and he himself went after that villain. As a result, he never came back…”
”That is to say, it is very likely that your father is not dead?” Xu Taiping frowned.
”My father must… must have been killed.”
The little boy’s eyes got hot, and then he took out a long-life lock from his arms and handed it to Xu Taiping, saying:
”Before my father left, he told me that if this lock was broken, it would mean that he had been killed, and I must never go out of the cave.”
When he said this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Xu Taiping and said:
“Unless I meet you, Great-uncle.”
“Don’t worry. Whether your father was killed or not, I will know soon.” Xu Taiping comforted the little boy and then gently placed the hand with the lotus pupil spell mark on the little boy’s forehead.
Immediately, a scene entered his mind.
Whether this little boy is the descendant of the Second Uncle or not, Xu Taiping has to figure out what exactly happened to him.
