Chapter 1040: Red Copper Gourd (Part 2)
"Are you saying that young man told you that I still owe him a nine-serial series?" In an independent yard in the suburbs, an old man with white hair sat up from a lying chair, with a look of surprise on his face, and asked in a deep voice at Qian Bing who was still narrating his passing.
Although this old man was so old that his eyebrows were even pale, his face and spirit were good, and his skin was rarely wrinkled. It was most suitable to describe it as a childlike face. This old man is Qian Weiyi, the contemporary head of the Tongshen Qian family.
Although the Qian family is now defined as a capitalist and a landlord, he has strongly helped the ruling parties in the past, and even has a lot of relationships with several important figures in the ruling world. He also saved the other party. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he took the initiative to donate some of the factories under his name to the country. In the end, the Qian family was able to occupy a place in the current government.
Before the country launched a series of movements, it specially sent people to receive Qian Weiyi from his hometown in Zhejiang to the capital in order to protect him. It also arranged several children of the Qian family with outstanding abilities to be arranged in various central departments to protect them nearby to avoid them being impacted during the movement.
Originally, Qian Weiyi should have been arranged in a courtyard house on the edge of Zhongnanhai, but Qian Weiyi felt that it was noisy there, so he moved to the Air Force compound in the suburbs.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the three navy, army and air force built military district courtyards for office and residence in the suburbs of the capital. However, compared with the large number of people, the other two armies seemed a bit like stepmothers. The entire courtyard, both the office buildings and the resettlement buildings were much simpler. The only thing that is thankful is that there are few people and more land. In addition to building some defensive fortifications that should be found, the Air Force Courtyard also built some independent courtyards, and the surrounding areas of these courtyards were very quiet, which was also the main reason why Qian Weiyi took this place. Over time, this courtyard and Qian Weiyi became a special existence of the Air Force Courtyard.
Although the weather is cold and the ice and snow outside have not melted, Qian Weiyi wears a slightly light summer outfit, and the temperature in the yard is much higher than that outside, and there are a lot of plants involved. It seems that people can see it and enter summer early.
Because the political situation is a bit turbulent now, in order to avoid getting involved in unnecessary trouble, Qian Weiyi has gone deep into the air since he moved to this Air Force compound, rarely going out and rarely meeting guests. Even his grandson who works in various central departments asked them to run to him as little as possible, and he felt as if he was in a big city. Today, he only saw Qian Bing, who had only two or three sides, suddenly ran over without any notice, which really surprised him and mistakenly thought something was wrong at home.
As for Qian Bing, after realizing that Xu Changqing's ability was far beyond his imagination, he no longer had the intention of staying in Jingshan Park to protect the young people. He entrusted the things he had in his hands to other colleagues. Then he hurried back to the small courtyard where the government resettled his grandfather and told them all the things he had experienced before. When he ran over, he didn't think so much, just wanted to relieve the doubts in his heart and see if his grandfather could help him pull this mysterious master to their department and help them solve that matter.
At first, his grandfather Qian Weiyi didn't care what he said, and the slightly moved face in the middle was because of the other party's clever illusion. However, when he mentioned the nine serials that the man mentioned, his grandfather's face completely changed and his reaction became more intense than ever before.
"Yes, that's what he said." Seeing this, Qian Bing was not sure about some of the secret things he didn't know. He immediately responded and asked curiously: "Grandpa, do you really know that person?"
Qian Weiyi seemed to be trapped in memory and did not immediately answer his grandson's inquiry. After a long time, he repeated the confirmation: "Did he really say I owe him a nine-serial series, not my owe to their family a nine-serial series?"
Qian Bing was stunned for a moment, not understanding the difference between these two sentences, but he still recalled it honestly and said, "He said you owe him a nine-serial series, and he will come to ask for it later." As he said that, he finally couldn't help but feel curious and asked, "Grandpa, do you know that person? What is the nine-serial series? Is it the nine-serial series toy I bought outside?"
"Of course not." Qian Weiyi seemed to think that Qian Bing had asked too much, glared at his grandson, then remained silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Originally, the matter about Jiulianhuan should not be told to you. Only your cousin is qualified to know this thing, but now that you have learned from others, I don't need to hide anything more. In fact, in addition to the magical method known to the outside world, the inheritance of our Qian family is also a magic weapon, which is also a inheritance object. This magic weapon is a set of Jiulianhuan."
Although Qian Bing is very jealous of his cousin who defeated countless competitors in his family by his birth time and became the heir of the head of the Qian family, he also knew very well that Qian Weiyi would never change once he decided on something. If he said so, it would only arouse Qian Weiyi's disgust. What's more, he has passed the opportunity to practice the Qian family's magical methods, and random thoughts will not have any effect. It would be better to seize what he holds now, and his future achievements may not be lost to that cousin.
Because Qian Bing thought about the situation clearly, when Qian Weiyi mentioned the cousin, there was no negative expression on his face, which made Qian Weiyi nodded with satisfaction when he was observing him.
Qian Bing happened to take advantage of Qian Weiyi's mood now, so he asked more secret matters at home and said, "Why have I never seen you use this nine series?"
Hearing Qian Bing's transformation, Qian Weiyi showed an inexplicable embarrassment on his face, as if he was poked into pain, which made him frown, but in the end he returned to normal sex, sighed slightly, and said, "The reason why I have never used it is because I lost this treasure to someone about seventy years ago. Although the person never asked me for this treasure, I no longer have the shame to use it again, so this treasure has been kept in a safe I used in a foreign bank.
I originally planned to wait until my life spans, and after I leave, I will pass this treasure to your cousin. Anyway, I am the one who owes me the debt. When I die, someone will ask for it, and he can also ask me to ask me directly." When he said that he had the idea of dependent on his debt, Qian Weiyi couldn't help but show a hint of embarrassment on his face, but he soon sighed and said, "I didn't expect that what should be coming is still here, but this is good, this debt has been weighed on me for so many years, and I finally have the chance to let it go."
"Grandpa, are you talking about the young man I met today who you lost to... that person?" Qian Bing heard some clues, looked in disbelief, and asked for the answer urgently, but realized that he seemed to be revealing the money for justice. He was vague in a sentence, but at least the meaning was understood.
The old man was obviously not very happy. Although there is no tiger in the mountain and a monkey dominates the king, he has been in a high position for many years and among the only remaining people in the world of cultivation, he is one of the highest age and seniority. Suddenly, he mentioned an embarrassing thing that happened when he was young, especially in front of his younger generations, which always makes people feel a little unhappy.
"Is the young man you saw today..." The old man quickly adjusted his emotions and his expression became serious, describing Xu Changqing's appearance very specifically. Although he had only met and fought once, the touch of that time had been too great, and it still had an impact even now. It can be said that if he had not been defeated by Xu Changqing, he became afraid of the world of cultivation and had to go home and retreat, and it took many years to regain his confidence, otherwise he would have participated in the battle to seek immortals that almost destroyed the entire world of cultivation and died in the hands of an unknown practitioner, and his body rotted in the deep mountains. Xu Changqing had changed his life and the fate of his family, so he naturally still remembered Xu Changqing's appearance.
Hearing the old man's description, Qian Bing outlined the specific image of Xu Changqing in his mind. Although there were some differences in temperament, clothing and other small places, the other aspects were almost consistent, and it was certain that they were the same person.
"How is this possible? Is there really immortality in the world?" Qian Bing could not hide the agitation in his heart at all, and he shouted without caring about etiquette.
"I want to know this too." Although the old man did not show any strange emotions on his face, the expression in his eyes also revealed some excitement. Although he could protect his own energy from being discharged through secret techniques, and his body was always much younger than his age, he was a mortal after all, and if he was a mortal, he could not escape birth, old age, sickness and death. Especially in recent years, as his 100th birthday approached, he also felt that his time might not be too long.
Now Xu Changqing's appearance made him who was already in desperate situation see a glimmer of hope. Although he has not officially met Xu Changqing yet, it is not difficult to hear from Qian Bing's description that Xu Changqing should still be as young as he was. If it were someone else, he might suspect that the other party used similar disguise methods to make his appearance look young, or perhaps he used illusions to deceive Qian Bing. But if that person was really Xu Changqing, with his understanding of the Nine-Level Lineage, Xu Changqing would never do such superficial skills. If he really looked old, Xu Changqing would also show himself to others in his original appearance, and would not have the kind of behavior of covering his ears and stealing bells and creating whitewashing.
Qian Bing couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Grandpa, who is this master? Have I heard of it before?"
