C2329 Li Lao Jiu's Past(part I)
Chuan Mansion, Li's Hot Pot Restaurant.
At this moment, Ye Qian, Nangong Miaomiao, Ye Qingxuan and the boss of the hotpot restaurant were sitting across from each other.
The four of them ate and chatted as if nothing had happened.
During the meal, the chef and boss of the hotpot restaurant told Ye Qian and the others about his past.
His seemingly calm eyes were filled with helplessness and indignation.
Ye Qian also noticed that every time he spoke, he would drink a mouthful of wine, as if he wanted to calm down the depressed emotions in his heart.
"To tell Lord Devil God the truth, my surname is Li and my name is Hong Xiao. I'm from Xijiang Yan City and my family is ranked as Lao Jiu. That's why everyone in the Chuan Mansion calls me Li Lao Jiu."
"When I was thirteen, there was a huge plague in my hometown, and almost all of my parents and siblings died. Only second sister and I managed to escape. "
"In the next few years, the two of us relied on each other to survive, begging for help everywhere."
"Until one day, I met a Taoist. He claims to be a senior expert from the Southern Heaven School, and said that I have a good bone, and wanted to accept me as his disciple. "
"I was only fifteen and I didn't know anything."
"In order to have a meal, my sister and I followed that Taoist to the Chuan Mansion, where we later entered some of the gates of the Cang sect."
Hearing this, Ye Qian nodded his head and interrupted, "Does that mean your cultivation is Dian Cang's?"
"That's right. His master's martial arts cultivation was extremely high, and even in the Green Mountain Sect, she had the reputation of being one of the Seven Supreme Elders. In the five years from the age of fifteen to twenty, Master doted on me a lot and taught me everything he could teach me. "
"At that time, I also worked very hard and entered the middle stage of the Tiger Stage at the age of twenty. I was one of the best in the Azure Mountain Sect."
With that, Li Lao Jiu raised his wine glass and took another sip.
In the end, he sighed helplessly and said, "It's a pity that I entered the sect too late. I have long since passed the best age to practice martial arts. That's why teacher always said that I would never be able to step across the threshold of the Innate Realm in my entire life. "
"At that time, I was young and vigorous, and I didn't believe anything Master said."
"In order to prove that I am a genius in martial arts cultivation, at the age of 23, I did something especially stupid. It also made me regret it for the rest of my life."
"That night, I took advantage of the darkness to sneak into the forbidden grounds of the Dian Cang Mountain Sect and stole the Cultivation Methods that only the direct disciple of the Dian Cang Sect was qualified to learn, the Heavenly Grimoire. At that time, I just wanted to prove to Master that I am not inferior to any of my fellow apprentices.
"Unfortunately, I still underestimated Daoist Master Sect Leader's strength and the mechanisms in the forbidden area."
"I wasn't even able to see Ao Tianming's Grimoire before I was captured by Martial Uncle, who guards the forbidden area."
"You know, stealing from a sect and not passing down the Cultivation Methods is something that all the large sects do not allow. After this incident, Spiritual Master Sect Leader was quite merciful and thought of letting me live, but he wanted to cripple my cultivation. "
"Later, later …"
Saying that, Li Lao Jiu choked up.
Only after a long while did he regain his senses. "Later on, it was Master who relied on his own cultivation to protect me."
"I've let down my master, the honored tutor's teachings and teachings for all these years."
"And after that?" Nangong Miaomiao's face was full of curiosity as well. She was curious as to what had happened to the middle-aged man in front of her.
"Something has happened. I naturally cannot remain within the Dian Cang Sect." Even though I managed to preserve my cultivation, I was still expelled from Dian Cang. "
"Although I am unwilling and regretful, I can only dejectedly go down the mountain."
"At that time, my second sister was already settled in the Chuan Prefecture City and found a local man there."1
"Even though brother-in-law doesn't have any ambitions, he is very good to Second Sister. The couple just live a bland life like that. "I was alone. After I left the mountain, I naturally went to find elder sister and brother-in-law."
"Later, through the relationship between brother-in-law and sister, she arranged for me to work in the Chuan Prefecture and also found a local girl to be my daughter-in-law. "At this point in time, I have forgotten about the past on the Dian Cang mountain. From then on, I will be living a normal person's life."
"Isn't this great? Ordinary, ordinary, yet happy. This is the day most people in this world would dream of, isn't it?"
Ye Qian smiled faintly, took a sip of the wine, and ate a mouthful of the authentic Chuan Mansion's hair, as he joked.
"If the days go on like this and on like this, it will naturally be good. Unfortunately, the tragedy of life often goes against one's wishes. "
"I remember that was the third year after I was married. "My wife gave me a good daughter. Just when I thought that my future wife and children would be hot, something completely changed the course of my life."
"I was studying at Dian Cang and had some skills, so Brother-in-law arranged for me to stay in a bar as a security guard."
"I clearly remember that day at the Chuan Prefecture when the sky was gray and the rain was pouring down. I got off work at midnight as usual and passed the familiar dark path in front of the bar. "
"Under the dim street light, I saw a few guys like Gongzi surrounding an innocent girl. They were constantly tearing at the girl's clothes and the sound of girls' screams filled the entire alley. There are usually a lot of people on that road, but they just turn a blind eye. "
Listening to Li Lao Jiu's description, the intelligent Ye Qingxuan roughly knew what was going to happen next.
"So you went up to stop those beasts with a sense of justice?"
Li Lao Jiu gave a wry smile, "Yeah, not only did I go up to stop them, I even beat up Gongzi."
"At that time, I didn't know that the one leading these guys was the young master of the famous Feudal Lord family of the Chuan Mansion, Hong family."
"And then?" At this moment, Ye Qian also stopped the chopsticks in his hand and squinted his eyes: "Did they take revenge on you?"
Li Lao Jiu nodded, his smile gradually became bitter: "Yes, they have taken their revenge on me. However, they didn't use any of those underhanded methods. Instead, they openly brought me before the court. "
"Eh?"
Jie Ke, Nangong Miaomiao, and Ye Qingxuan were stunned.
It was not uncommon for evil people to complain first. However, there weren't many who could do something like this.
"Their accusation against me is even more ridiculous. It is a crime committed by a powerful woman, as well as a crime of wounding others."
"A strong woman for a crime? "What's going on?"
Nangong Miaomiao's beautiful eyes rolled up, revealing a puzzled expression.
"Because they accused me of plotting against that girl. What makes my heart even colder is that the girl I saved turned out to be their witness. "
"Isn't, isn't this turning black and white?"
Nangong Miaomiao's face was filled with indignation as she lifted her wine cup and drained it in one gulp.
Ye Qian remained expressionless and said lightly: "If I'm not wrong, then the matter is not over yet, is it?"
Li Lao Jiu became silent. Although he didn't want to recall the painful memories of the past, he still nodded helplessly in the end.
