Chapter 33: The warmth and coldness of immortality
Father's old friend? Li Yan was shocked and confused. At this time, there would be some old friend coming to visit.
When he reached the door, Li Yan turned around and asked, "What does the person look like? Apart from claiming to be an old friend, is there anything else to say?"
"Master Qi, there are three people coming. Among them are two young people, one male and one female. The other one is an elderly Taoist priest."
Taoist priest? Li Yan was excited and immediately thought of something.
"Go and invite them to wait in the master's study. I'll come over and meet you soon." Li Yan's voice was two points higher, and he trembled slightly when he listened carefully.
"Yes." Someone answered outside the door, and then the sound of hurried footsteps gradually faded away.
After looking at his father who was still lying on the bed, Li Yan calmed down, opened the door and walked out.
After briefly freshening up and putting on a brocade-patterned Qingluo shirt, Li Yan hurried to the study.
As soon as they entered the door, they saw three people sitting at the table turning their heads and looking over at the same time. The old man's eyes were gentle and approachable, the young man was a little nervous and awkward, but the last woman's eyes were as cold as a sword, and she glared at her face unceremoniously.
Pass by in one stroke.
Facing these three people with very different expressions, Li Yan was not sure who was in charge for a while, and even had some doubts about his initial expectations.
In order to avoid embarrassment, Li Yan immediately laughed, clasped his fists and saluted, and said loudly: "I am Li Yan, the young master of the Jiuyuanhui. I heard that my father's old friend came to visit me, and I felt so far away. May I ask how you three are doing?
Title?"
After Li Yan said these words, he saw that none of the three people stood up and said something in return, and the scene suddenly became cold.
"Why, you came all the way here without even being able to see the real owner. Li Yunfei is such a big arrogant person." A pleasant female voice suddenly sounded.
Li Yan followed the sound and saw that the woman in yellow had taken out an exquisite round fan at some point and was playing with it with her head down, not taking Li Yan seriously at all.
Frowning, Li Yan was about to say something. At this time, the white-haired old man spoke, "Junior sister Xiao, stop losing your temper, it's more important to do business. Junior brother Xu, take out the things and show them to him."
Upon hearing this, Li Yan looked suspiciously at the young man in blue who had not yet spoken.
The young man nodded to the old man and reached into his sleeve. Li Yan calmly took two steps back, secretly becoming wary.
The young man took out an envelope, flashed it in front of Li Yan's eyes, and threw it away with a wave of his hand.
Catching the envelope, Li Yan looked at the front and found that there was no writing on it, but it looked familiar.
Carefully opening the letter paper and unfolding it, Li Yan's eyes suddenly widened, and then there was surprise on his face.
It turns out that what the young man threw over was not any other letter, but the letter asking for help written by himself.
Putting down the letter, Li Yan looked at the white-haired old man, but didn't say anything.
Understanding the last doubt in Li Yan's eyes, the old man smiled slightly and picked up the teacup beside him.
He muttered a few strange words that he couldn't understand, and ordered some tea in the cup with his right hand.
Right in front of Li Yan's eyes, a whole cup of steaming tea instantly turned into a piece of ice.
I gently turned the tea cup over, and the ice cube fell down, smashing to the ground and breaking into several pieces.
After Li Yan came back to his senses, he bent his legs, knelt down towards the three of them, and kowtowed heavily. "Li Yan, the little man, pays homage to the three immortal masters."
"Get up and tell us what's going on." The old man said calmly and waved one hand. Li Yan felt a soft force coming out of thin air and gently helped him up.
Such a strange scene allowed Li Yan to confirm the identity of the person who came. After thanking him, Li Yan paused for a while, and then told everything he knew from the beginning.
The three people's attention gradually turned around, and each showed a thoughtful expression. The old man's right hand rested on the handle, and his index and middle fingers tapped it.
After a meal, Li Yan finished telling everything he knew.
"By the way, the monster corpse left something behind. The three immortal masters can see if there are any clues." After a confession, Li Yan walked out of the study.
Calling the guards in the distance, Li Yan gave a few instructions in a low voice.
Not long after, the guard quickly brought a package.
After sending the guards back to the original place, Li Yan returned to the study with the package. Without waiting to ask, he opened and unfolded it in advance.
The three of them looked over at the same time. After a while, the woman and the old man stepped back without interest. But the young man took a second look at the break in the iron rod.
Seeing the expression on the immortal master's face, Li Yan understood that these things were of little use. At this time, the woman suddenly said: "When did the Li family become so incompetent? A large group of people can't stand up to one person."
Hearing this, Li Yan's face turned red, but he couldn't say anything.
The white-haired old man stood up, turned a deaf ear to the woman's words, and coldly ordered Li Yan.
"We are a little tired after coming all the way. Please arrange a place for us to live in Qingxiu. We will go to Manzhongqiu tomorrow morning to check the situation. If you have nothing to do, don't bother us. Also, if we don't see the strange corpse you mentioned by then,
You know the consequences."
Li Yan hurriedly knelt down and said, "Everything I said is true, and I will never lie to you. The east wing is always elegant and unique, so I can take the immortal master there now. But my father was seriously injured and has not woken up yet, so he still invites the immortal master.
Poor, please save me."
"I asked Li Yunfei why he asked a boy like you to come to receive him, but he didn't come out. It turns out that he couldn't get up." Needless to say, it was the woman in yellow who spoke up again.
"Senior sister, don't say that, it's not good." The young man in blue finally couldn't help but speak to dissuade her.
"Boy, your father's skills are not as good as others. He has a destiny. Don't think that we will save him. After this incident is over, this year's offerings will be increased by 40%. If you can't do it, I think other people will pay 9 yuan to you."
The position of the sect leader will be very interesting."
The old man no longer showed any kindness, and the threat in his words was fully revealed.
"Yes." Li Yan saw that there was no way to plead for mercy, so he had to stand up and silently led the three of them to the side room to stay.
Sensing that no one was staying nearby to monitor, the old man and the other three did not immediately disperse to rest, but gathered together to argue about something.
On the other side, when Sun Huo hurriedly arrived near Huoyun Village, he quickly noticed something unusual.
It was very quiet, and the original popularity of the village seemed to have disappeared.
Sun Huo suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, and quickly whipped the horse a few times, urging the horse to run faster.
My whole body tensed up, paying attention to the movements around me.
Happy New Year! I wish all book friends family peace and good luck!
