Chapter 1239

Most of the villages are small two-story buildings, and it is rare to see such a simple hut, but for some reason, I always have a very friendly feeling when I look at the hut in front of me.

"Second Uncle, this can't be..." I suddenly realized.

"That's right, this hut is where my elder brother and I used to live, but back then the hut was even more dilapidated, it rained heavily outside and it rained lightly inside the hut. But no matter how shabby it is, it's the home where my elder brother and I lived together..." Zhao Guizhen said with emotion, And took me into the hut.

And when I walked into this thatched hut, I felt a little strange, and I said quickly: "Second Uncle, it seems that there is an enchantment here?"

Zhao Guizhen nodded, "You have good observation skills. In order to prevent people from Tongtian Palace from eavesdropping, I have already made some arrangements around the hut."

"So this is the safe place you mentioned." I walked into the hut and saw that the furniture in the room was very old, but the only incense table in the lobby was made of mahogany, which looked very valuable.

And on the mahogany incense case, there is a tablet, which is the spiritual tablet of the adoptive father.

I sighed softly, picked up three sticks of incense from the incense table, lit them and inserted them into the incense burner, knelt down in front of the futon and kowtowed to my adoptive father a few times.

But when I raised my head to take a closer look, I realized that the name on the coffin of my adoptive father was the coffin of my elder brother Zhao Hongbo.

"Zhao Hongbo... isn't this the pseudonym my father used when he lived in seclusion?" I asked suspiciously.

"It seems that elder brother didn't tell you. In fact, Zhao Hongbo is his original name. Eldest brother is Zhao Hongbo, and I am Zhao Hongtao. After we entered Tongtian Palace, Master gave us a new name. Zhao Guixu and Zhao Guizhen." Zhao Guizhen said.

"So that's what happened, but the names Zhao Hongbo and Zhao Hongtao are indeed a bit silly." I said with a smile.

Then I got up from the futon, turned around in the hut, picked up two worn sandbags beside the stove and looked at them.

Zhao Guizhen next to me said to me, "Everything in this room still retains its original appearance. These two sandbags are my favorite toys when my eldest brother and I were young... Alas, although it was hungry and cold at that time, the world was not so complex."

Zhao Guizhen said with emotion, but looking at Wuling Mountain outside the window, his face suddenly changed slightly, and he asked seriously: "Changsheng, now you can talk, what did the Palace Master and you talk about last night?"

I told the conversation with the Palace Master last night verbatim, and finally said: "Second Uncle, the Palace Master seemed to cast some spell on me at that time, and I almost told the truth, it seems Is the palace lord suspicious of me?"

"I think the person Palace Master suspects is not you, but me... Changsheng, what do you think of our Palace Master, what impression do you have of him?" Zhao Guizhen asked suddenly.

I thought about it for a while and said: "Palace Master... Palace Master looks unpredictable. He felt a little cold at first, but he was quite easy-going when we chatted. He should be a very smart and strategic person, or It should be very scheming. The palace master looks 50 to [-] years old on the surface, but I think his real age must be very old."

Zhao Guizhen nodded frequently after hearing this, "Changsheng, although you are not yet an adult, your observation and thinking skills are very mature."

"Hey, I have been different from other people of my age since I was born. I have traveled with my father and seen so much since I was a child. And the encounters in the past two years have been too exciting. I found that people who seem to be good people may not be good people. A person who looks like a bad person may be a good person, and the most unpredictable thing in this world is the human heart." I said with a sigh as I recalled the tragic experiences I had encountered along the way in the past two years.

Zhao Guizhen nodded, "You are right to think so. As the saying goes, you must not have the heart to harm others, and you must have the heart to guard against others. Just as you guessed, the actual age of the palace master is already 210 years old. One of the elders of our Tongtian Palace is his grandson, and he is also a centenarian after all..."
