In a dilapidated palace in Zhongnan Mountain, a Taoist priest with shaggy hair and a dirty face clasped his feet and casually said to a handsome young man beside him: "Good disciple, haven't you always wanted to know who your parents are?" The cause of death? As long as you go down the mountain to complete a task this time, I will tell you!"

"Really, Master, you really mean what you said!"

Jiang Han jumped up from his stool in excitement!

He immediately rushed to his master and said with gleaming eyes.

"That's natural. You have been with me for so long. How could I ever lie to you before?"

Taoist Priest Qingxu rolled his eyelids up and down and said with dissatisfaction.

Jiang Han cursed in his heart. His master never paid attention to what he said to him. He said it before and forgot about it. He had deceived him so many times, and every time he promised to draw him cakes and let him do things. , the promise was never fulfilled afterwards! But what can he do as his apprentice! Considering that he has raised him for so many years and taught him martial arts, he can only consider himself unlucky!

But regarding the cause of his parents' death, even if there was a glimmer of hope, he would give it a try. Since he was a child, he had only heard others say that his parents were framed and died by his enemies, but he knew nothing about the specific details or who the enemies were. Every time he I went to ask my master, but he always tried to prevaricate and never wanted to mention this matter. Today is the first time this happened!

"Master, tell me, what is your mission? I'll take it!"

Seeing Jiang Han take the bait, Taoist Master Qingxu smiled slyly, grabbed a handful of marriage certificates from under his buttocks, threw them directly on the ground and said: "Good disciple, these are the three fiancées I found for you when I came down the mountain. You You must go down the mountain and marry one of them back to me, and bring me a disciple back. If you don't complete it, then this mission will be considered a failure, and you will never get any news about your parents from me!"

Jiang Han's expression froze when he heard this, and his face immediately turned dark.

He looked up at the dignified face of his master, an old man who picked at his feet, and then recalled the appearance of his fellow disciples. They were either fat and short with big ears, or they had three eyes and four ears!

All of them were grotesque and extremely ugly. Referring to his master’s aesthetic vision for selecting apprentices, he really couldn’t believe what peerless beauties he could select for him. If all of them were as ugly as his senior brothers, then he How to live! Living with that kind of woman, he would rather be a bachelor than have a wife in his life!

"Master, how does the wife you choose for me look like? Isn't she all as weird as my brothers? If so, I can't bear it!"

"Do you think your master and I have poor taste? Don't talk nonsense to me, just do as I ask. Otherwise, don't ask me about your parents!"

Taoist Priest Qingxu waved his hand and turned his head to the side, as if he didn't want to pay attention to Jiang Han!

"How dare I disobey my master's instructions? I will just do it!"

Jiang Han wanted to say that your taste was not that good based on the appearance of the apprentices you chose, but he did not dare to say it. He was afraid that if he would offend his master, he would never tell him about his parents again, so he could only endure it. Feeling depressed in my heart, I bent down and picked up the yellowed marriage certificates scattered on the ground one by one!

He also couldn't understand why the old man had to let him get married and bring a child back before he told him the cause of his parents' death!

"Okay, since you agreed, let's go down the mountain today!"

After Taoist Master Qingxu finished speaking, he disappeared into the hall instantly, as if he had never been there at all!

Although his master has a sloppy image, Jiang Han has always respected him in his heart because of his superior martial arts, which gives people a mysterious feeling. He has studied with his master for more than ten years, but he still doesn't know his master's identity. True strength!

Although Jiang Han was adopted by his master and lived in the mountains at the age of 5, Taoist Master Qingxu did not lose his basic knowledge. On the contrary, he taught him various basic knowledge. Therefore, Jiang Han knew the geography of Xia Kingdom very well. , he found a woman named Yan Luoqi whose home was closest to him in Weicheng among the eight marriage letters, and planned to find the other party to fulfill the marriage contract.

Jiang Han followed his master's instructions and did not stay on the mountain. That morning, he simply packed a few clothes and went down the mountain, heading straight for Weicheng.

He did not rely on transportation during the journey out of the mountain. For him, who had practiced martial arts, the dozens of miles of mountain road were nothing. He flew along the river valley and soon left the mountain. The outside of the mountain was densely populated. It was inconvenient for him to show off his martial arts to avoid causing panic among people, so he could only rush to the county town by car like everyone else. He had gone out to help the master with several things before, so riding in a car was quite familiar to him.

Arriving at the county bus station half an hour later, Jiang Han bought a bus ticket to downtown Weicheng at Mangshui County Bus Station, got on the bus, and headed towards Weicheng.

Weicheng is not far from Mangshui County, only 50 kilometers away. Jiang Han walked out of the bus station in Weicheng City an hour and a half later.

After leaving the bus station, Jiang Han felt confused for a while, because now he only knew that the fiancée he was looking for was named Yan Luoqi, and he knew nothing else about her family, let alone her home address!

In this vast sea of ​​​​people, facing the millions of people in Weicheng City, where could he find this person?

Only then did he realize that his unreliable master had given him such a difficult problem!

He had no choice but to take a chance and start asking passers-by to see if they knew this girl Yan Luoqi.

What he didn't expect was that as soon as he stopped a fashionably dressed girl, she looked up at him and said contemptuously: "Oh! You, a Taoist priest, dare to have an idea for the eldest daughter of the Yan family, and you won't let it go. Soak yourself in urine to show off your poor character! The eldest daughter of the Yan family will fall in love with you, and it will really embarrass your family!"

The fashionable girl gave him a mocking look and walked away.

Jiang Han choked and blushed. He looked at the faded gray robe he had been wearing on the mountain and knew that the other party had mistaken him for a Taoist priest. Although his master was a Taoist priest, he did not escape. After entering the Taoist family, he found someone eager to complete the task assigned by his master without bothering with the other person. He was a little surprised. He didn't expect that his fiancée was so well-known. Anyone who asked anyone on the street would know her. She seemed to be from a famous family. The eldest lady has a good background.

Jiang Han asked a few more passers-by despite the strange looks from everyone, and finally found out the location of the Yan family, which is located in the Yan family's old house at No. 18, Renmin Road, the most prosperous area in Weicheng City.

Jiang Han came to this city for the first time and was unfamiliar with the place. In order to save time, he hailed a taxi on the side of the road. The taxi driver was a sunny guy in his early 20s. He had a neat shave and looked very capable. He looked like a veteran who had retired from the army.
