Chapter 385

Huh?

Shi Shaojian was full of doubts.

He didn't remember any intersection between him and this little girl.

And this girl looked like she was only in her early twenties, right?

"You, know me?"

The little girl shook her head fiercely, her eyes full of excitement.

"No, I don't know you."

"But my great grandfather has always asked us to wait for someone named Shi Shaojian."

"Guest, can you wait here for a while?"

Shi Shaojian's heart moved.

Great grandfather?

Could it be...

After a little thought, Shi Shaojian nodded.

The little girl didn't even look at the store and ran away quickly.

After a while, she returned here with a dying old man.

The moment the old man saw Shi Shaojian, tears streamed down his face.

"It's really you, Taoist Master Shi!"

...

In a teahouse not far from the small hotel.

Miaofa, who was over a hundred years old, tremblingly pointed to the chair in front, motioning Shi Shaojian to sit down.

After Shi Shaojian sat down, Miaofa sighed, his eyes full of memories.

"After decades, you are still in your prime, but I am about to be buried."

Looking at Miaofa with age spots all over his face, Shi Shaojian felt very uncomfortable.

He really didn't expect that Miaofa would wait here for decades just for a promise.

When he first met Miaofa, he was just a third-rate cultivator.

A third-rate cultivator is at most slightly different from ordinary people, and his life span will not increase much.

I'm afraid that Miaofa has only relied on the original promise to support him for so many years.

Shi Shaojian looked at Miaofa deeply and said, "You have been waiting for me for so many years?"

Miaofa was much calmer.

"At first I just thought that since it was an agreement, I should always keep it."

"I don't think I'm a good person, but I just keep my promise."

"Later, I met my wife here and we had our own children."

"Gradually, I lived here."

"It was difficult for ordinary people in that era."

"I am a monk, but many things cannot be changed."

"I traveled around with my wife, and when the world was peaceful, I came back here after thinking about it."

"I am also a monk. , I have more skills than ordinary people, and with my skills, we can live a rich life. ”

“After life became more stable, my wife also persuaded me that you had not come all the time. I think it was because of something that delayed you, or you simply forgot about it.”

“There is no reason to stay here.”

“But I thought, I have waited for so many years, and one more day will not make a difference.”

“Later, I just waited day by day.”

“I said goodbye to my wife, watched my children get married and have children, and watched my children’s children grow up. people."

"Now, there is a fourth generation."

"I am still alive."

"Waiting for you is not to fulfill the contract, but I am thinking that people should always have something to look forward to when they are alive."

"I am old now, and those skills are no longer useful. I am no different from an ordinary person."

"The world is changing with each passing day. I no longer have the need to pursue a better life. So, I just stay in this small place, waiting, looking forward to..."

"To be honest, there are occasionally one or two moments when I hope you can suddenly appear in front of me."

"But I also know that you have been missing for so many years, and even Maoshan has disappeared under the wheel of history. Maybe you have also..."

He smiled: "Sorry, Taoist Master Shi."

"When a man gets older, he will not admit his age."

"Naturally, he will talk more."

Shi Shaojian shook his head: "It's good to listen to the old friends of the same generation talk about their true feelings."

Miaofa said: "By the way, Taoist Master Shi."

"I will tell you what you asked me to investigate back then, otherwise, I am afraid I will forget it."

Shi Shaojian's heart moved.

In fact, the mine matter didn't matter to him.

After all, he now knew that it was just Yan Ruyu's backhand.

But Shi Shaojian could see that this was already an obsession for Miaofa.

If he didn't let him say it, he would die with his eyes open.

Shi Shaojian fulfilled Miaofa's wish.

"You said, I have been waiting for your news."

"Hahahahaha."

Miaofa laughed heartily.

"I didn't expect that Miao Fa is so important to you."

Shi Shaojian said: "Yes, I have been waiting for this news for decades."

Miao Fa thought for a while and said: "When I just separated from you, I quickly found Qin Hua's whereabouts with the help of friends in the circle. We set an ambush together and captured Qin Hua."

"OriginallyI was planning to interrogate Qinhua after you arrived."

"But I didn't expect that I would have to wait for decades."

"I was worried that my body couldn't bear it, so I asked Qinhua in advance."

"She told me that the mine was indeed trying to create dragon veins."

"As for the mastermind, she didn't know who it was."

"I only know that it was an immortal."

Shi Shaojian nodded, and then!

"Immortal?"

Shouldn't the mastermind be Yan Ruyu?

"Are you sure you heard it right? "

For those of them who practice cultivation, immortals are a completely different form of life. Shi Shaojian has always remembered a saying in the cultivation world.

The so-called Eight Wonders are actually the methods of immortals.

The Daluo Cave Observation is the perspective of immortals, the Six Treasury Immortal Thieves are the bodies of immortals, the Qi Body Origin is the method of immortals to practice Qi, and the Double Hands are the regeneration of soul and body...

No matter from which aspect, immortals have far surpassed any existence.

Ordinary people may think that they are immortals, but in fact there is a huge difference between the two.

People in the cultivation world will definitely not confuse this concept.

Even those who have just embarked on the path of cultivation are the same.

Miaofa seemed to see Shi Shaojian's shock, and his face also showed shock: "Don't you know?"

Shi Shaojian shook his head.

Miaofa said: "I was also shocked at the time, and I confirmed it with Qinhua again and again."

"She said that she was indeed an immortal. "

Shi Shaojian's face gradually became solemn.

If the Xujia Village mine was the work of an immortal, then this matter would be completely different.

"Tell me in detail, without missing a word."

Miaofa also realized the seriousness of the matter, and he said: "According to Qinhua, her role in the whole thing was not even insignificant."

"Even the Heavenly Master at that time was just a small trick set up by the immortal."

Heavenly Master...

The nine Heavenly Masters seen in the mine before...

Could they not be the same clan as Yan Ruyu?

Miaofa said: "Qinhua was very secretive about the immortal behind the scenes, but I learned some interrogation methods at that time and asked many secrets in Qinhua's mind. "
