Chapter 30: Favor

At night, the six islands of herring under the curtain of the night are like a herring sleeping peacefully in the sound of the sea breeze and the sound of the tide, lying quietly in the rolling sea. Baiyu Bay, which is the bay where the newcomer disciples such as Shen Shi, Sun You and other newcomers stayed, was silent on the beach. With the bright light from the sunny starry sky, you could vaguely see the many newcomer cave houses with mountains and seas behind. Quietly silent, presumably after Bai Yue's excitement, these excited teenagers have already entered the dream of happiness, and perhaps many people are looking forward to the path of cultivation that will begin next day.
The white and delicate beach originally left many footprints. Those are the traces left by these energetic teenagers who came here to play before it darkened, because among the many new disciples, many of them were before today. I haven't seen the appearance of the sea yet, and I am very curious about everything on the beach.
Only in the dead of night, under the scouring of the tides and waves in the night, the sand was leveled again. The traces left by the youngsters who had walked through the play were all inadvertently erased by the waves.
The sky is vast and the sky is full of stars. At this moment of no one's attention, there is also a quiet beauty in the sky.
It's just that at this moment, somewhere on the quiet beach of Baiyu Bay, a figure suddenly walked out, looking at a man in his early thirties, with a dignified expression and frowning brows. After walking for a while, he stopped for a while, as if he was looking for it. What? After a while, he walked under an unknown tree growing on the edge of the beach, just stood still, waiting for something quietly.
After another half an hour, a faint sound of footsteps suddenly came from behind. The man immediately turned his head and looked around. Through the starlight in the sky, he saw that it was a young man who was still asleep in this quiet moment of the night, but Walking all the way, looking at the figure, it was Shen Shi's neighbor Sun You.
The man looked relieved, and quickly greeted him. Sun You saw him, his face also showed some intimacy, nodded and smiled: "Uncle."
The man called the uncle by Sun You grinned, touched Sun You's head with his hand, and then took a bit of vigilance, raised his eyes to look at Sun You on the way, and then took him when he was sure there was no one. Walking under the shadow of a big tree next to it, there is a trunk shelter, even if someone looks from a distance, under the cover of the night, it is not clear whether there is anyone under the tree.
In the shadow of the tree, the look on Sun You's face slowly calmed down, and he raised his eyes and glanced at the young uncle. After a moment of silence, he asked softly, "How?"
The man took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "After you handed that thing to me, it was of great importance. I took it out of the island through the doorway at home overnight and sent it to Floating Cloud City. Just to be cautious, I won't disturb the Sun family. , Is to use the face of the old lady, and specially invited the Master Wu from the "Jianbaotang" branch of the Floating Cloud City to see it.
Sun You's eyes were bright, staring at him without blinking, and then slowly asked in a low voice: "Uncle, what happened?"
The man frowned and smiled bitterly, sighed softly, and took out a royal blue cloth bag from his arms. It was Baiyueli Sun You once handed to Shen Shi to watch the small bag containing the rare
flamingo incense
. To Sun You, he whispered in his mouth at the same time: "Master Wu, after reading it, concluded that although there are a few cleverly old methods on this, they are very similar to the ordinary refreshing'Red Sleeve Agarwood', but they are actually a rare piece. I saw the'fire scented incense' which is of great benefit to the cultivators of the Ning Yuan realm."
Suddenly, Sun You fell silent, without saying anything. The man standing beside him didn’t know what to say for a while. After a while, he heard Sun You say coldly:
It’s also a rare sight. The incense of the fire scent that is extremely poisonous to the cultivators of the refining realm."
The man was silent, and after a while, he whispered: "Little friend, what do you want to do?" After a pause, his voice became softer, and said, "The old lady already knows about this. It’s in a rage, but we don’t know what you mean, so we’re forced to suppress it and it didn’t happen. As long as you speak, we don’t want to have such a wolf-hearted family. Anyway, you are also the grandson of the old lady. In Pingyue, her elder loves her the most. If you want me to say, it's better to just..."
Sun You suddenly interrupted him and said, "Uncle, my surname is Sun."
The man gave a wry smile and said nothing.
Sun You snorted coldly and said, "They do everything for the sake of the head of the Patriarch. If I come out with my back, wouldn't I just follow their hearts, just as they wanted?"
The man frowned, with a worrisome expression on his face, and said, "But they have even used such tricks, in case there will be anything later..." At this point, he couldn't help but sigh again. He said, "Your mother, that is, my hard-working sister. In the past, she was the apex of the old lady's heart. She was the most loving. Unexpectedly, the old lady looked away and the servant she personally selected was a white-eyed wolf. I thought it was a happy marriage, but I didn’t expect it to hurt my sister. Over the years, the old lady often sighed at home, full of guilt. After your mother passed away unexpectedly, the old lady was even more..."
Speaking of this, the man was obviously also a little excited. He stepped forward to support Sun You’s shoulders with both hands, and said in a deep voice: "Little friend, if things are not in harmony, you don’t have to force them. Others are afraid of their grandsons and theirs. There is a Sun Mingyang in the Lingxiao Sect behind the Sun family, but our Xu family is absolutely not afraid. As long as you are willing to return to the Xu family, I will guarantee you with your surname and fate, I will never treat you as an outsider. Only better than the Sun family!"
Sun You gritted his teeth, his eyes seemed to be a little hot, but he seemed to be a very assertive person. He stretched out his hand and gently held his uncle’s arm. After a moment of silence, he whispered:
Uncle, grandmother and I understand your intentions. It’s just...why did my mother pass away? Anyway, one day, as a son, I must have her spiritual card in the Sun’s family ancestral shrine, and two more table cases ."
The big hand supporting him on his shoulder seemed to tighten for a moment, and then slowly put it down. The Xu family man took a deep look at him and nodded. There seemed to be a trace of relief in his eyes, and said: "Okay. , Since you like this, I will send someone to tell the old lady when I turn around." He paused after speaking, and said again, "But this matter now..."
Sun You sneered and said, "Just assume it hasn't happened. Anyway, now on Herring Island, the rules established by Zhen Zhen Cen over the past 30 years, many aristocratic families can no longer intervene in sect affairs at will. Just relying on my golden-faced and straw-wrapped elder brother, how can I do anything to me? If they have any confidence in him, they won't use such a trick."
The Xu family man nodded frequently, and he seemed to admire the five-character comment "Golden noodles and straw belly" and couldn't help but laugh.
Sun You also smiled, and after a while, he only listened to the man from the Xu family: "But thanks to your new friend named Shen today, maybe you still have it. I was really tricked by them, and it was too late to regret it then."
Sun You nodded, and subconsciously turned his gaze to the distant place in the row of cave houses immersed in the darkness of night. At the same time, he heard the little uncle sigh softly and said: "Speaking of which, this The eyesight of the kid is really poisonous. I heard from the people who told me that when the witch master saw this piece of flamingo, he personally said that the tricks of the fakers were quite ingenious. He was an ordinary treasurer in the Fairy Club. It may not be able to see through."
Sun You was taken aback for a moment, and said, "What, the hands and feet on this firefly incense are so realistic?"
The Xu family man nodded, and said, "Master Witch has said so, it must be true."
Sun You's face changed slightly. After a while, there was a hint of confusion on his face, and he said, "Could it be that...Is it possible that Shen Shi had already noticed something wrong at that time? Although there was nothing on the face, the words were Remind me secretly?"
When he said this, the man from the Xu family suddenly woke up, frowned, and was silent in thought. After a while, Sun You sighed and said: "Forget it, don't care about it, anyway, Shen Shi It saved my life, and calculated that I owed him a favor. In addition, I deliberately talked with him during the day, but it was a good way to chat. It seems that I will have to get together in the future."
The man from the Xu family nodded and seemed to agree with Sun You's decision. At the same time, he snorted and said: "The grandson family is very heartbroken, and the blood of the direct relatives is unreliable. If you make more friends in the same door, you will be able to succeed in the future. Help. Okay, it's not early, tomorrow you have to go to the Morning Star Temple to practice, go back and rest first."
Sun You nodded and said goodbye to his uncle. The Xu family man stood under the tree and watched the nephew's back disappear into the darkness, then quietly turned and left.
Above the night, the stars are shining, and the sky is silent. Under the night, the waves are bursting and the waves are rolling, but the waves are gradually moving away from the beach, when the tide is low.
This day finally passed quietly in this dark hour.
※※※
April 11 said, sunny.
A round of red sayings rose slowly from the depths of the distant sea, and the warm sun radiated out a thousand meters of light, reflecting the sky and the sunrise, and also heralding the beginning of a new day.
On the Herring Six Islands, everything seemed to have just woke up from a deep sleep, slowly adding a bit of hustle and bustle. Shen Shi turned his body over, opened his eyes and sat up on the bed, spread his arms and extended his chest, and yawned greatly.
Next to the pillow, there was the Lingxiao Brief. He had been reading this book for beginners and disciples almost all the time last night, and he fell asleep very late, but after all, he was a young man who was full of energy and just stood up After a few strokes, Shen Shi felt refreshed, full of energy, and full of expectations for this new day.
The long-awaited cultivation will finally begin today!
"Boom boom boom, boom boom boom!"
The familiar knock on the door came from the door. Shen Shi smiled, and walked over to open the stone door with a cloud symbol. As expected, Sun You was standing at the door with a haha ​​smile and cheerfully said: "Shen Shi, let's go to the Morning Star Hall!"
