Chapter 171 Lotus Tower 45
Chapter 171 Lotus Tower 45
Yunyin Mountain
Yunyin Mountain towers into the clouds, and the mountains are shrouded in mist, just like a fairyland. Because the Lotus Tower is inconvenient to climb the mountain, everyone can only walk forward.
Fang Duobing excitedly followed Li Lianhua, looking around curiously and exclaiming from time to time.
He raved about the beauty of Yunyin Mountain: "It's truly Yunyin Mountain, and it lives up to its reputation! The clouds and mist here seem to hide the entire mountain. It's truly ethereal!"
Li Lianhua sighed secretly while listening to Fang Duobing's praise.
We are bringing so many people up the mountain this time, so it seems we have to settle them down first.
After all, there is limited space on the mountain, and we can't let everyone squeeze together, right?
So, he decided to settle these people first, and then go to visit his master's wife and pay tribute to his master.
Just as they arrived at the residence arranged by Li Lianhua, a figure suddenly appeared at the door.
Grandma Cen looked at these uninvited guests warily, wondering in her heart: Who are these people? Why did they suddenly appear here?
Her eyes swept over everyone and finally fell on Li Lianhua. Suddenly, her eyes froze.
She stared at Li Lianhua's back, as if trying to discern some clue from her. Finally, she couldn't help but say, "Xiang Yi..."
Hearing this voice, Li Lianhua's back suddenly stiffened and her body trembled involuntarily.
He turned around slowly, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
He looked at his master's wife with a smile, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but tears seemed to glitter in his eyes, and his voice was filled with a hint of self-mockery and emotion: "Master's wife is really amazing. I have become like this, and you can still recognize me."
Grandma Cen couldn't help but walk forward excitedly, hugging Li Lianhua tightly, her voice choking with sobs: "Xiangyi, you're finally back. Master's wife has been looking forward to this day. Now it's good, your master can rest assured. It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"
Li Lianhua looked at the white hair on Grandma Cen's temples, and a feeling of sadness welled up in her heart.
He hugged Grandma Cen tightly and said softly, "It's all because of my unfilial behavior. I haven't come back to visit you and Master for so many years..."
The two hugged each other for a long time, and their emotions gradually calmed down. After they talked to each other.
At this time, Grandma Cen noticed Lin Jiu and others standing nearby. She was slightly startled, then revealed a gentle smile: "So you are Xiangyi's friends, Xiangyi told me about it. I really appreciate you taking care of Xiangyi these days. Come on, stop standing there, I'll take you to find a guest room to rest."
As she spoke, Grandma Cen enthusiastically took Lin Jiu's hand and walked inside with big strides.
Lin Jiu obediently followed Grandma Cen away.
The others who were left behind looked at each other in silence, and finally had no choice but to follow them.
The days that followed were the most relaxing time for Li Lianhua in the past ten years. She had her master's wife by her side and her good friends as companions...
During this period, Li Lianhua went to his master Qimushan's grave to pay homage and talked a lot with his master. He was drunk that day.
When he returned to his room, it was already late at night. He lay in bed, recalling every detail of the past. He remembered his past glory, but also his failures. He thought of his friends and enemies, but also his lover. He knew that all this was in the past, but he still couldn't let it go.
The next morning, Li Lianhua woke up with a splitting headache. He sat up, rubbed his temples, put on his clothes, and walked out of the room. He saw his master's wife basking in the sun in the yard and walked over to greet her.
Seeing Li Lianhua's expression, the master's wife asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you still feeling unwell?"
Li Lianhua smiled and said, "It's nothing, just a headache. I drank too much last night."
The master's wife nodded and said, "Drink less alcohol in the future. It's not good for your health."
Li Lianhua responded, then walked to the stone bench in the yard and sat down.
He looked at the sky and gradually calmed down. He knew he had to face reality.
At this moment, Fang Duobing suddenly walked in from outside. When he saw Li Lianhua, he said happily: "Li Lianhua, I found you!"
Li Lianhua smiled and said, "Why are you looking for me?"
Fang Duobing said mysteriously, "I'm going to take you to see something."
After saying that, he pulled Li Lianhua to the door of a room. Lin Jiu, Li Xiangyi and Li Xu were standing at the door. When they saw Li Lianhua coming, they pushed the door open.
Li Lianhua asked doubtfully, "What's so interesting here?"
Lin Jiu pointed to a box and an envelope on the table and said, "What's in that box? What's written in the envelope? You'll have to take a look. We just found it in Shan Guyao's room with your master's wife's permission."
Li Lianhua looked at the box and felt it looked familiar. He suddenly remembered that this was the box where Shan Guyao collected his things. He had seen the various wooden swords he gave to Shan Guyao placed in it.
So he curiously opened the box and saw all sorts of broken wooden swords inside. He picked up the broken sword and examined it carefully, realizing that the cracks must have been forcibly broken. Thinking of this, Li Lianhua was startled.
He then removed everything from the box. Without exception, everything was broken, revealing the bottom of the box. The three characters "Li Xiangyi" were covered in dense scratches, revealing the depth of this man's hatred. He then opened the envelope, revealing the message between Shan Gudao and Nan Yinren.
He understood everything immediately. For a moment, he felt a little ridiculous. Then, his eyes sharpened. At this moment, Li Lianhua no longer hesitated. He would bring Shan Gudao to his master's grave to confess his crime.
He silently put the broken sword and knife back into the box and closed the lid. He turned and left the room without looking back.
