Chapter 102 102: Shui Family
Pedestrians on the street gradually became sparse, and as they walked into a bluestone brick road about ten meters wide, there were no other people on the road.
Cedars are planted every five meters on both sides of the road, like two rows of guards arrayed to welcome visitors.
At the end of the road is a very large mansion, so big that even Lingyuan Douluo's inadvertent release of his mental power could not cover it entirely.
In front is a huge arch. The walls on both sides are less than three meters high. They are carved with many exquisite martial arts patterns. The top of the wall is inlaid with light blue pyroxene at regular intervals. , the flowing light echoes with the huge golden water character on the arch.
The arch is wide open. The Shui family has never closed the door in the past ten years. Two guards are enough to stand guard.
The sky is getting dark, the daytime in Beilincheng is relatively short, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. It is now time to finish eating.
Smoke could be seen rising from the sky above the mansion, and the aroma of the food aroused the appetite of the group who were exhausted.
The two guards have no position at all. It doesn’t matter if they are on guard or not. No one dares to come here and act arrogant. There is only one possibility to provoke the Shui family in Beilin. I have lived enough and don’t know where I should be buried!
Two guards wearing plain white cotton-padded clothes were slightly surprised to see the visitor.
One of them didn't notice the expression on the visitor's face and said with a smile: "Why is Brother Pingwei back? Who are these people?"
They had ambiguous smiles on their faces, and the three women looked better than each other regardless of their age. Outstanding, and they all look like outsiders, maybe she is the concubine that Shui Wei wants to marry.
Shuiwei turned around with a gloomy face and said, "We are here, let's go, I will take you to see the clan leader."
After saying that, he stepped into the arch and ignored the mood of the two guards.
Lingyuan Douluo took a deep look at the golden water character. With her knowledge, it was not difficult to guess that it was a very special soul-guiding metal.
Carrying Shuitian on his back, he walked between the two guards, and one of them saw his face.
The curiosity in his eyes turned into confusion, then horror and disbelief.
He froze in place, and even when the group of people entered Shui's house, he didn't recover.
The companion was a little confused and said: "Brother Pingwei, what's going on today? He seems to be in a wrong mood. Why do you have such an expression? Do you know the patient that the beautiful woman is carrying?"
Hearing this, the guard immediately said with a cold face: "What is the patient's name? If I admit it correctly, that person is Elder Shuitian!"
"What?" His companion was shocked, his eyes full of doubt.
After entering the arch, you will first see a huge garden, where plants that grow in cold areas are in full bloom. After passing through the central main road and walking into a huge foyer, you can really enter the Shui family.
Rows of various houses are scattered randomly. The people living here are all direct members of the Shui family, and there are many people living outside the mansion.
Some members of the Shui family cast doubtful glances, and some young people from the Shui family couldn't take their eyes away from the three beauties of different types.
Everyone was curious about the identity of the group. Fortunately, Shuiwei brought them in. Otherwise, if the outsiders had not sent greetings in advance, these tribesmen would have been possessed by martial spirits.
But when someone looked at Shuitian's face, he couldn't hold back and shouted: "It's Elder Shuitian, she is carrying Elder Shuitian!"
"It's really cousin Shuitian~"
“Brother Xiaotian? What’s going on? Brother Xiaotian, he What’s wrong?”
“Ping Wei, who are they? Why is Xiaotian with them?”
“Ladies, please put it down. Elder Shuitian!”
"Cousin Shuitian, what's wrong with him?"
"..."
After discovering that the person being carried was Shuitian, the group was surrounded by members of the Shui family.
Finally, an elder spoke up: "Everyone is quiet, how can it be inappropriate to make noises."
The old man seems to have a very high status. He looks like he is eighty years old, with all his hair and beard. He is white, but his eyes are still shining. He is wearing a simple gray-white robe, and his back is straight.
As soon as he spoke, the crowd instantly fell silent. Lingyuan Douluo glanced over and felt slightly surprised.
This old man is a Soul Sage. Although he is old, his aura is deep, and he should be close to level 80 in cultivation.
The old man looked at Shui Weiwei who brought them here: "What's going on, Xiaotian? Who are these three women?"
Shui Weiwei said with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Third uncle, I don't know what Xiaotian has been through. I met these friends at the city gate."
Now that he has arrived at the Shui family, Lingyuan Douluo is relieved. Most of the time, he took the initiative to hand over the water on his back to Sophie's care.
Completely ignoring the nervous and worried expressions of every Shui family member.
"Who are you from Shuitian? I want to see your clan leader." She said lightly, but her attitude was still polite.
The old man's eyes were fixed, and he had no time to care about Shuitian, who was dying. He realized that he could not see through the cultivation level of the woman in front of him at all.
There are only two possibilities for this situation, either she is not a soul master, or her cultivation far exceeds her own.
Look at her wearing a black and gold war skirt. This kind of skirt is the favorite of many female soul masters in the mainland, but it is not suitable for the weather in the northern region.
Being able to withstand the evening temperature with his physical body shows that this person is definitely a powerful soul master.
The old man did not dare to look down upon him and said very cautiously: "Old Shui Shichang, Xiaotian is my nephew. I wonder who you are? Why is Xiaotian injured like this?"
"Shui Shichang? Are you Shui Shichang, one of the Four Heroes of the Northern Territory thirty years ago?" Lingyuan Douluo seemed to know his identity, and his eyes were filled with surprise.
The old man nodded without answering, but looked at Shuitian, who was supported by Sophie, with pain in his eyes.
Not only him, but also many members of the Shui family, men and women, were dumbfounded.
How could their best second-generation disciple of the Shui family be injured like this? Is he really still alive?
Lingyuan Douluo also felt pain in his heart when he saw them all looking sad. He said with some sadness: "It's better to take me to see your family master. Senior Shui can just call me Lingyuan. Xiaotian and I It's an old friend."
"Lingyuan?" Shui Shichang came to his senses instantly, and a special name appeared in his mind.
At this time, Zhu Zhuqing bowed and said: "Junior Zhu Zhuqing is a student of Teacher Shuitian, and the teacher is here to protect me~"
With tears in her eyes, she saw none of these Shui family members The sad expression made her feel even worse.
If she hadn't been too weak, the teacher wouldn't have been injured so seriously. The last blow of the Clear Sky Hammer wasn't aimed at him.
After hearing this, all the Shui family members looked at her. This little girl who looked like a teenager was actually a student of Shuitian. What did she mean by this?
Sophie also hurriedly introduced herself: "I am Sophie. I am fortunate to have met Mr. Shuitian and sent him home together."
She was worried that Zhu Zhuqing's words just now would cause trouble and hurriedly introduced herself. Trying to change the subject.
But it's not that easy. Shui Shichang's eyes turned red at some point, and he ignored her and Zhu Zhuqing. He just looked at Lingyuan Douluo and said, "I can't afford you to call me Senior, Soul Master." The one who knows the world comes first! Your Majesty, why don’t you tell me whether Xiaotian’s injury has anything to do with your Wuhun Palace?”
As soon as he said this, the Shui family members were in an uproar.
The sound of your crown, the sound of Wuhun Palace, this woman is actually a titled Douluo!
There was a sudden intake of breath and shouts of disbelief. She looked like she might not be thirty years old! How could it be a crown prince?
Lingyuan Douluo said with a bitter look on his face: "Yes, but let's wait until I see your family master to talk about the specific matters. I hope I can stop wasting time here."
" Okay~" Shui Shichang hid all his emotions in his heart. As one of the few people who knew Shuitian's secrets, he would not be as excited as other tribesmen. But when it came to Wuhun Palace, he couldn't help but feel it was tricky and troublesome.
It was not easy to leave. The people of the Shui family became excited again. Men, women, old and young all said unpleasant things. How could it be so easy to pass through the crowd.
"Go to your own homes and don't be an eyesore. I'll leave Pingwei to you. I'll take the guests from afar to see the clan leader!" Shui Shichang made a decisive decision.
No matter what, we can't let the clan members get into trouble. There are still Shuitian's students and friends here, so the Shui family can't lose face.
He calmed down the tribesmen with a roar, and his power was enough to make everyone make way.
"Your Majesty, come with me." Shui Shichang did not ask anyone from the family to carry Shuitian. The fewer people who knew about some things, the better. The extent of his injuries should not be known to too many people.
Following him through the crowd, Lingyuan Douluo roughly understood the cultivation and strength of these people.
Compared to the soul master clan, they are even stronger due to their cultivation of a single attribute element.
The soul kings and soul sects were the most numerous, and there were several soul emperor-level old men in the crowd. The eyes of the old men were the most touching. The old woman Youwei held back her emotions with tears in her eyes.
That is the child they watched grow up!
The central road passed through rows of houses, and more members of the Shui family came out to watch.
Shui Shichang's serious expression made them all hold something to say in their hearts. This phenomenon did not stop until they reached the gate of the inner courtyard.
There is also a flower bed planted outside the gate. The flowers that can grow in this climate are very cold-resistant varieties.
The inner courtyard in the front can also be called the inner house. Unlike the large courtyards with apartments outside, the entire front yard belongs to the residence of the direct lineage of the Shui family.
Shui Shichang who brought them here also lives here.
Entering the brand new arch, three huge ice sculptures appeared in front of you.
The ice sculptures on the left and right sides are all mounted on black boulders. On the left is a huge six-sided snowflake, and on the right is a spiral stream-shaped ice sculpture.
Represent water and snow respectively, and the ice sculpture in the center is directly stepped on the dark green altar with a simple shape.
That is an ice phoenix with wings spread, a statue of Shuitian's martial spirit, and the absolute belief of the Shui family.
When Zhu Zhuqing saw this statue, he couldn't help but recall the ice phoenix flying over the teaching building of Lanba College at that time, which was equally sacred, great and beautiful.
Just walking from the side, several people who had noticed it stopped.
I saw a person walking out of the tall palace-like building in front of me.
This man has a resolute face, full of solemn expression, and can be seen as somewhat heroic and handsome.
The figure is not burly, but it gives people a heavy and oppressive feeling like a mountain.
He strode towards here, the white robe he was wearing grinning in the wind, with a white jade belt tied around his waist and a blue jade ring on his hand, making him walk like a tiger.
There was a pair of sad pupils on that heroic face, and he murmured a little absently: "Xiaotian~"
That tall palace-like building is the core building of the Shui family, and every one of them is related to the fate of the family. Instructions come from here.
On weekdays, only he and a few elders handle things in the temple, and there is no need for ordinary tribesmen, servants or guards.
Both sides of this hall lead to their family's residence. It is now dinner time, the elders are not here, and he is the only one dealing with the few remaining things in the hall.
Not wanting to feel several special auras approaching, as soon as he left the hall, he saw his biological brother who had not been home for three years.
"Clan leader, Xiaotian has gone home." Shui Shichang said sadly. He stepped aside to reveal all three women and said, "Don't you want to see the head of my Shui family? He is my Shui family." Shui Zhan, the current patriarch! He is also Xiaotian’s biological brother, can you tell us what happened now?”
Before they could explain, Shui Zhan took a few meters in one step and quickly came to Sophie in shock. She was almost possessed by a martial spirit.
Shui Zhan's movements were too fast, and he didn't reveal any soul power. His cultivation level was probably at the Soul Saint level.
He doesn't care about the identities of these women, nor does he care about what his third uncle says.
Just like that, he snatched Shuitian from her body and held it in his arms. When he took a closer look, he was completely stunned.
How could my brother hurt the city like this?
What kind of blow did you suffer from that terrible injury on your chest?
You can feel many broken bones all over your body, and you can hardly feel the presence of his mental power. Even his heartbeat is faint.
His eyes turned red for a moment, and he raised his eyes and scanned the three women one by one.
"Thank you for sending him home. Please forgive me for my poor hospitality when we first met. Now who can tell me who Xiaotian was injured like this? Who are you all?"
Everyone can hear how angry he is now, the cold soul power waves are released from his body, and he can hardly control his emotions and release his martial soul.
Almost instantly Zhu Zhuqing knelt on the ground, her eyes filled with tears but she did not lower her head.
"I am Zhu Zhuqing, a student of Teacher Shuitian. Teacher, he was seriously injured by Haotian Douluo because he was trying to save me!"
Lingyuan Douluo quickly stepped forward and planned to pull her up. , but the guilt in Zhu Zhuqing's heart made her unwilling to get up.
Sophie could only remain silent, as she didn't know some details.
Hearing this, Shui Zhan suddenly darkened his face. The words Haotian Douluo were like a bolt from the blue. No matter how his brother provoked the other party, things became difficult to handle and the trouble was big!
"Since you are his student, stand up for me. Xiaotian doesn't like spineless people. Even if he is injured because of you, it is not the reason for you to kneel here! Stand up and tell me What happened!”
Since he is his younger brother’s student, he is his junior. He believes that Shuitian will not do meaningless things. If his opponent is Haotian Douluo, is it because of this child that he was seriously injured? Not important.
His words were full of majesty. There was clearly a hint of the teacher in his appearance, but his tone and attitude were nothing like that.
Lingyuan Douluo also advised: "My child, you get up first, the fault is not yours."
She pulled Zhu Zhuqing up, who was wavering. Zhu Zhuqing lowered his head instead. It was better to have the courage to face it while kneeling.
Seeing this, Lingyuan Douluo could only hold back his heartache and said calmly: "Chief Shui, this is not the place to talk. Please take us to a suitable place. This child and I will slowly talk to you. Explain clearly. ”
Indeed, this is indeed not the place to talk, and his brother must be treated as soon as possible.
Shui Zhan only hesitated for a second before making his decision and said, "Third uncle, please take them into the palace and entertain them well. Don't let Yun Shu and the others know about this for the time being."
Hearing this, Shui Shichang said with a sad expression: "I'm afraid it won't be easy. The clan members have already seen that Xiaoshu is his sister-in-law, and they will know sooner or later."
"Hey~"
Shui Zhan sighed helplessly, looked at Lingyuan Douluo and the others and said: "Thank you for sending Xiaotian back, and please come into the palace to rest first. I have to settle my brother-in-law, and I hope you can do it later. Can you tell me what happened?"
"Where are you taking him? He can't hold on much longer, so don't touch him!" Lingyuan Douluo quickly stopped him, but she suddenly found that Shui Zhan's eyes were flickering, and he seemed to have Something special she didn't know.
Zhu Zhuqing also said nervously: "Senior, let me take care of the teacher. The teacher just wants to go home and see his relatives at the end of his life. I want to be with him in his last time~"
As she said this, she remembered what Shuitian said when she woke up that time.
The concern between the two of them didn't seem to be fake. Shui Zhan had some calculations in his mind and said calmly: "Don't worry, I will settle Xiaotian well. He is my biological brother. If you don't leave in a hurry, I will I will arrange for you to meet him”
