Shendou Continent

Chapter 175 Deming Returns
In the spring of [-] in the holy calendar, Linchuan in the Eastern Gan Kingdom.

Dai Ming and Chen Jiao, who have been traveling abroad for more than a year, are sitting in a teahouse in Linchuan at this time, sipping refreshments carelessly while staring at a house ahead from time to time.

That house is an unnamed small courtyard, connected to a mansion named Li's Mansion.The Li Mansion is now cold and cold, with outdated decorations, but judging from the style of the high-door compound, it must have been glorious in the past.Indeed, 30 years ago, it used to be the prime minister's mansion of Eastern Jiangxi. At that time, Li Wenlong, the owner of Li's mansion, was under one person and above ten thousand.

The court system of the Eastern Jiangxi is roughly similar to that of the suzerain Ouyue. It also emphasizes both civil and military affairs.When Mr. Li was young, he was the most talented man in Linjing. Later, he naturally passed the Jinshi examination and entered the official career.Later, when he became the Prime Minister of Eastern Jiangxi, this was also the time when the Li Mansion was in full swing.Mr. Li and his first wife have a deep relationship, but they only have one son and two daughters under their knees. Mrs. Li dotes on her son, an only seedling. debt.

Originally, this disciple of the Xiangfu and the disciple of Wuyunmen were at odds with each other.However, Dai Ming was an exception. He was the child that the woman took away when she fled the prime minister's mansion that day.

Dai Ming grew up in Wuyun since he was a child, but unlike Qingfeng Qingmu Tong Qingning, he didn't follow Feng's surname.Therefore, in the process of growing up, he has always been curious about his life experience.But Master Yan Nanfei only said that he was an orphan picked up by himself in order to let him devote himself to cultivation.Yan Nanfei even made up a nonsense story, saying that one day in a dream, a woman surnamed Dai came to him with a child in her arms, and when she woke up, she picked him up, so she named him the surname Dai.

This crappy lie is fine for dealing with De Ming and Lin You and others when they were young, but as Dai Ming grew older, he gradually began to doubt his own origin.Especially when he was 15 years old, when he heard about Lin You's life experience, he also secretly suspected that his life experience might not be as simple as what the master said.However, at that time, he was moved by Lin You's hard work, and the master didn't let go, so he let it go.Later, he broke through the Brahma Realm and traveled with Lin You, and later, he returned from traveling with a genius cultivation base, and he never had time to seriously explore his own life experience.It wasn't until Chen Jiao broke through the Brahma Realm and the two planned to travel the mainland together, that his master Yan Nanfei took the initiative to tell him his story before they left.

Many years ago, in Jingxian County, Yizhou, Eastern Jiangxi, there lived a girl named Dai.Miss Dai was originally a child of Orion. Although her family was poor and had no one to support her, she was born beautiful.One day, she was walking in the street market of Yizhou, and met a rich man in brocade clothes.When the nobleman saw the beautiful Miss Dai, his heart was moved, and when Miss Dai saw the nobleman's noble temperament and extraordinary conversation, she also had a good impression of him.The noble son immediately started pursuing, and the two soon fell in love.The son gave each other a jade pendant, and made an oath to never forget it.

Not long after, Miss Dai was accepted into the nobleman's house, and only then did she know that the nobleman was Li Yu, the only son of the prime minister who was in power in Eastern Jiangxi.Miss Dai is not deep in the world, and she doesn't know the dangers of the world. She thought she could fly on a branch and become a phoenix, but she never expected that there are many women in this noble son of the Xiangfu, and the wife is a jealous person. It's hard.In the beginning, she still had Li Yu to take care of her, and she barely had a place in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Later, Li Yu empathized with the newcomer, Aunt Shen, and stopped interfering with her, which made her status and life in the Prime Minister's Mansion worse by the day.And the main room insulted her in every possible way, coupled with Aunt Shen's exclusion, she wanted to die.

Later, she found out that she was pregnant, so she had to endure humiliation for the sake of the child.I thought that having a child would improve my life, but I didn't expect that not only did it not improve, but it also made the infertile wife even more jealous. If it wasn't for the old lady who took care of her during pregnancy, she would have been murdered long ago.But after she gave birth to the child, the old lady didn't bother her any more, and the main room joined with Aunt Shen to attack her and wanted to put her to death.After escaping the murder by chance, she planned to escape, and finally escaped with her child in the dark of the day.It's a pity that she was found by the minister's minions within a few days.After being captured and returned to the prime minister's mansion, he died soon after.It is said that he was beaten to death.

Her child survived and was sent to Wuyunmen by his uncle.The child's uncle's name is Dai Tian, ​​and his mother's name is Dai Yue'e. The sun and the moon are both bright, so his uncle named him Dai Ming.

He quietly listened to Master's narration, the very plain language revealed the most painful scar on his blood.He suppressed the turmoil in his heart, but the tears on his face had already betrayed him.After weeping bitterly, Master gave him a longevity lock, a silver longevity lock with a sun and moon pattern and the word "Dai Ming" engraved on it, which was left by his uncle when he was leaving.Years have passed, and the silver lock has already turned black, but Dai Ming feels warm when holding the silver lock. There is the warmth of his family here...

Deming recalled Master's words in his mind, but his eyes were always focused on the small courtyard.Li Xiang has long since passed away, and the current Li Mansion has long since declined. Li Yu is not a fighter, and is addicted to wine and sex.Without imperial guards, the Li family had nothing to fear. With Dai Ming's current level of cultivation and Chen Jiao, it is completely feasible to kill the Li family.But what the master said was only a few words, and it was a long time ago. He had to find the insider back then to check.Moreover, if my uncle is a fighter, he is probably still alive, and he wants to find his relatives.He planned to start the investigation from the small courtyard, which was the residence of the housekeeper of the Li family.

The afternoon sun shines on the streets of Linjing, and the warm spring sun is warm and gentle, which also makes people feel a little sleepy.After waiting for a long time, the two finally waited until an old man opened the door and was admitted to the hospital.Dai Ming immediately called the waiter in the teahouse, and after confirming that the old man was the housekeeper of Li's house, he and Chen Jiao quickly stepped forward.

Knock on the door and wait.Soon, the old man who had just closed the door opened it again and stuck his head out.Seeing two strange young faces, he asked suspiciously, "Who are you looking for?"

"Excuse me, is this the housekeeper of the Li family?" De Ming asked back.

"Oldness is exactly."

"I'm just looking for you. If I have something to ask, can I talk to the teahouse?"

"Who are you two? Why are you looking for the old man?"

"Old man, we are disciples of Wuyunmen, and we have no malicious intentions. You will find out the details when you go." Chen Jiao, who was on the side, explained, and at the same time took out the purple cloud card that symbolized the identity of Wuyunmen's disciples.

The butler took the name tag and looked at it, hesitated for a while, and followed the two to the teahouse.

In a private room in the teahouse, after a few people greeted each other politely, they soon got to the point.Deming explained his purpose and asked about an old incident 30 years ago.

"Old man, 30 years ago, did a woman surnamed Dai marry into the Li family?"

"30 years ago?" The butler heard this, and looked at the two of them suspiciously. Seeing that the two of them didn't seem to be joking, he recalled it seriously, and said while thinking, "30 years is too long. No..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something, and continued, "30 years ago, Aunt Dai really came into the house, but..." The housekeeper hesitated to speak.

After hearing what the butler said, the expression on Deming's face became eager, maybe he could get some useful news.However, the butler stopped the topic as soon as he thought about it, and asked the two vigilantly: "You two look young, why are you asking about the past 30 years ago?"

"We are here to repay our kindness. Aunt Dai was kind to our ancestors more than 30 years ago. My parents confessed to find Aunt Dai to repay their kindness. In the past few years, our own life was not easy, and it was only in recent years that we have achieved little success. This is when I came to Linjing and bothered the old man for information." Chen Jiao had already thought about a countermeasure, and then took out an Ouyue bank note and handed it to the housekeeper.Seeing this, the butler quickly declined, but Chen Jiao still insisted on stuffing the bank note into the butler's hand.

After taking the money, the housekeeper slowly began to recall the past. Thirty years ago, there was indeed an Aunt Dai who was brought into the mansion by the current master of the Li family. Soon she gave birth to a child, but she disappeared before she was named.Aunt Dai later heard that she died suddenly, and there was no news of her after that.From her appearance to her disappearance, it took less than a year.He was just an ordinary servant at that time, he didn't have much contact, and he didn't remember deeply, so there was only so much he could recall.

Dai Ming took the opportunity to ask questions about his master, wife, and Aunt Dai, and the answer he got was that the master treated Aunt Dai well at first, but he didn't mention it much later, and the wife might not treat Aunt Dai very well.The housekeeper was also evasive, maybe he had forgotten it for a long time, maybe he didn't dare to say too much.In this way, Deming got very limited useful information, but after all, he was old enough to be able to confirm the news of his mother, and he did not dare to expect anything else.

When the housekeeper was leaving, he suddenly remembered someone and said to the two of them, "If you want to know about Aunt Dai, there may be someone more familiar than me."

"Who?"

"Li San, the servant of the Li family, Aunt Dai was kind to him back then, maybe he will know more."

After hearing this, Dai Ming and his wife brightened their eyes, and hurriedly asked Ming about Li San's situation.And with Deming's return, as his investigation deepened, his mother's impression and the truth of the year gradually became clear.
