(Happy birthday to Yu Anda... I was forced...)
…
…
In late spring, all kinds of trees are stretching their waists and revealing their green leaves. Dongyi City is close to the seaside, and the humid sea breeze blows day and night, which makes the spring here come earlier and faster than other places, and the spring's storage period is longer.
This big green tree on the outskirts of the city has been growing here for many years. The trunk is tall and straight without piercing the sky. Countless green leaves gather together to form a big canopy at the crown of the tree, which looks extraordinarily beautiful and compassionate. It blocks the sun in the sky and casts a shadow, covering people who enter and leave the city.
This tree is too big, and the range of shadows even covers several acres of land, and many pedestrians are resting under the tree. Under the tree are those knotted roots protruding from the ground, like a thick dragon body, calm and solid, Si Gu Jian, Fan Xian and the little emperor rested beside these tree roots for a while, this strange combination did not attract any attention. The passers-by looked sideways, probably because there have always been many strange people in Dongyi City.
Fan Xian sat on the root of the tree, feeling the shade under his buttocks. He didn't know what kind of tree was behind him, and he didn't bother to explore the roots. He just lowered his head to look for ants or dung balls in the roots. dung beetle, but found nothing.
"How old was she then?"
"Five or six years old? Seven or eight years old?" Si Gujian sat in a wheelchair, frowned, and thought for a long time, as if his memory had become a little blurred due to the age, he spat on the ground and said: "It's just a little girl anyway."
"How old were you then?"
"Should be in his teens?" Si Gu Jian scratched his head and said, "You know that my brain is not very good, and I can't remember such complicated questions."
"I don't think my age is a complicated issue."
"Geniuses are always different from others in some respects." Si Gu Jian obviously didn't care about Fan Xian's sarcasm, and said with a sneer.
"The other side of a genius is an idiot." Fan Xian glanced at him lazily, and said, "Of course, everyone in the world knows that you were an idiot when you were young."
Si Gu Jian didn't say anything, but his eyes met with Fan Xian's, trying to find some shadows from the past in the gaps beside the tree roots.
The little emperor Zhan Doudou stood aside indifferently, seeing the old man and the young man getting mad, he felt rather disapproving. The three of them walked here peacefully all the way. According to the secular theory, the identity of the little emperor is natural. It is the most honorable, but it is obvious that neither Si Gu Jian nor Fan Xian cares much about this.
Si Gu Jian and Fan Xian seemed to find interest in looking for ants, and stayed under the green tree, as if they had no intention of leaving. The little emperor frowned slightly, thinking that the courtiers outside the sword hut were probably still worried about him, and he didn't know what would happen next, and worried whether the old and the young would reveal their fate to the public, he felt a slight feeling in his heart. Worried, he said softly: "Miss Ye is no longer here. If you stay here for another three years, it is impossible to expect her to come back to life."
This sentence seems to be stating one thing, but it is somewhat stern. The little emperor's resourcefulness and reaction speed are fully reflected at this moment. In the sword hut, Si Gu Jian only briefly mentioned something about persuading Fan Xian to rebel, but she caught some vague clues and tried to click here.
As soon as these words came out, Si Gu Jian and Fan Xian both raised their heads and glanced at her, which made her feel a little flustered. Fan Xian shrugged and said, "I just think ants are more interesting than people."
Si Gu Jian looked at Fan Xian and said with admiration, "When your mother accompanied me to look for ants, someone asked us that, and she answered that too."
Following Si Gu Jian's somewhat pleasant narration, Fan Xian smiled, and the scene from many years ago seemed to appear in front of his eyes.
An idiot with a runny nose, squatting under a big green tree, watching the ants move and fight, maybe untie the belt around his waist, and urinate on the ant nest. The pedestrians passing by and the residents of Dongyi City all knew the identity of this big idiot. When they passed by him, they all had expressions of pity and disgust in their eyes, but no one was willing to come forward to talk to him.
Then a blind young servant took a little girl by the hand and came to Dongyi City from afar. When he came under the big green tree, he found this idiot who was so focused that he didn't care what happened next to him.
The little girl carved in pink and jade squatted curiously beside this idiot and asked him, "What are you looking at?"
The idiot gave her an impatient look and said, "I'm looking at the ants."
The little girl let out an ooh, and then began to watch the ants with him for a long time, and finally someone next to her couldn't see it, and reminded the young servant that this idiot was the young master of a certain important man in the city, and he was just a fool. Let your young lady be silly with him.
After hearing this sentence, the little girl didn't stand up, and said with a smile: "I just think that sometimes, ants are more interesting than people."
Obviously, the hidden meaning in this sentence is much more mature than the age shown by this small body. However, the pedestrians and citizens under the tree didn't notice this. They just thought that this lady from someone's family was so beautiful and clean. The most famous idiots of the Santo's family squatted together, and they really couldn't stand it.
Then the little girl beckoned, and the blind young servant who had been cold like a block of ice also squatted beside the two of them. Although he didn't want to squat, there was no difference between squatting and standing to him, since she liked to let If you squat by yourself, then squat.
…
…
"At that time we happened to be three of us." Si Gu Jian continued his memory, scratched his itchy cheeks, and said hoarsely: "I just watched the ants fight for a long time, and then I invited them to my house as guests."
"your home?"
"My dead father was the former owner of Dongyi City, don't you know?"
"Oh, I've heard that, but it was many years ago. Your dead father died under your sword long ago. I didn't remember it for a while."
"The City Lord's Mansion is very big and luxurious." Si Gu Jian suddenly grinned, "But the place I live in is like a kennel, because I'm an idiot, dead father hates me the most, and my mother is just a maid , do you understand what I'm talking about?"
"Well, I've seen many similar ones." Fan Xian nodded. No one in Dongyi City dared to discuss Si Gu Jian's past, but it didn't mean that the Overwatch Council didn't study this aspect. He already had a clear understanding of how the idiot lived in the city lord's mansion back then and was despised by the boss, but he only found out today that Si Gu Jian's biological mother was a maid, and that maid only I'm afraid he died many, many years ago.
"Your mother and Wuzhu are friends I met for the first time in my life." Si Gujian suddenly said seriously: "Although the place I live in is terrible and I can't even serve a cup of tea, they didn't look down on me. Still follow me."
"Maybe because I was an idiot at the time, so I didn't think there was any problem with this. But obviously, many people in the City Lord's Mansion thought it was a problem, and it was impossible to accept two people of unknown origin living in the mansion, especially I lived with the idiot young master. So a few days later, Ye Zi and Wu Zhu left the city lord's mansion, I don't care, anyway, during the day, I have to go out to watch the ants, so I went to the house rented by the two of them to play for a while fan."
"This is the first time I really know that you once had such a relationship with your mother and Uncle Wu Zhu."
Si Gu Jian frowned, and said in a cold voice: "Could it be that Wu Zhu never mentioned to you what happened to Dongyi City back then?"
"No." Fan Xian sat on the root of the tree, took a thin wooden branch, and unconsciously picked the soil, and replied, "Uncle's memory became much worse later on."
"Oh, this kid Wu Zhu, actually his memory will get worse?" Si Gu Jian suddenly laughed, "Isn't that similar to the idiot I was back then."
Fan Xian glared at him, then shook his head with a wry smile, and asked, "Do you know... where my mother and Uncle Wu Zhu... came from?"
This is a matter that has troubled him for more than ten years. Although he can vaguely guess a little bit, and in the west mountain cliff outside Shangjing, Xiao En also mentioned it before his death, but the narration of the old man Xiao En before his death , only explained the origin of the mother, but did not mention Uncle Wuzhu.
In Xiao En's narration, when he and Ku He entered the periphery of the temple after a long journey, they saw Ye Qingmei. Ye Qingmei was only four years old, and it was two years or even longer before Si Gujian saw her in Dongyi City.
What was Ye Qingmei doing during this period of time? How did Uncle Wu Zhu come to her side
In Xiao En's memory, it was mentioned that Ye Qingmei seemed to be deeply worried about someone in the temple, and she couldn't let go of it, so she left resolutely. That person... is it Uncle Wuzhu
…
…
Hearing Fan Xian's question, Si Gu Jian suddenly became extremely quiet, and only after a long while said quietly: "At that time, it was naturally impossible for me to know where they came from and where they were going... But then naturally I slowly knew."
He turned his head slightly, stared at Fan Xian with those bottomless quiet eyes, and said, "Don't you know where Wu Zhu came from?"
Fan Xian lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. Uncle Wu Zhu is a monster, Uncle Wu Zhu will not grow old, Uncle Wu Zhu does not know internal strength, Uncle Wu Zhu is very good and powerful, so Uncle Wu Zhu... He said, "Even if Uncle Wu Zhu came out of the temple, what about my mother?"
"Nonsense, blind people are messengers in the temple, your mother is his master, of course she is a fairy in the temple, otherwise, how could so many things happen in this world by herself?" Si Gu Jian was very worried. He scolded irritably, as if he felt that Fan Xian's question was really superfluous.
However, Fan Xian didn't think he was superfluous. He thought with a wry smile. His mother, Ye Qingmei, obviously, like himself, had a soul that didn't belong to this world. What kind of relationship could it have with the temple
Fan Xian and Si Gu Jian talked vigorously and sighed in recollection, but their voices were naturally bundled together, without affecting anyone under the big tree at all. However, the little Northern Qi emperor had been standing beside the two of them, listening to all this quietly, her face gradually turned pale, and her hands in her sleeves trembled.
She did not expect that under this big tree, she could hear such a soul-stirring secret. She also finally understood why a young man like Fan Xian had such a self-confidence and even arrogance that the world could not match from the beginning of his life. The grand master sat on the same table, daring to talk about the world without shame, trying to control everything in his hands.
The little emperor knew that Fan Xian's mother was Ye Qingmei, and vaguely knew that there was a blind master behind him, but until today, she didn't know that the Miss Ye family and the blind master had a relationship with the temple. I can't explain the unknown relationship.
What is a temple? It is a god who floats on the clouds of the nine heavens, watching the sufferings of the world indifferently, but will not be moved at all. It is a will beyond the ordinary, and it is the guardian of the legendary earth. However, no one knew where the temple was or what it was, except Master Ku He had seen the temple with his own eyes.
Ku He kowtowed in front of the temple for three days, and he became a great master. Under the big green tree, Miss Ye Jia met Si Gu Jian by chance. Another example is His Majesty the Emperor of Qing...
The little emperor's short eyelashes trembled uncontrollably. From the beginning of the Wei Dynasty to the present, everyone in the world wanted to see the appearance of the temple with their own eyes, and wanted to seek the shadow of the way of heaven from the emptiness. Didn't the emperor of the Wei Dynasty send a team of thousands of people to the north to find temples just for the sake of immortality
It turned out that behind Fan Xian, there was the shadow of a temple. The little Northern Qi emperor glanced at Fan Xian's profile, and was extremely shocked and complicated.
…
…
Fan Xian took a deep breath and said, "I should know something about what happened later. After my mother lived in Dongyi City for a few years, she started to do business, which gave birth to the Ye family and today's family. Nanqing Neiku."
"The development of anything will never be so simple." Si Gu Jian raised his only remaining arm and raised a finger, "Even if Ye Qingmei is a fairy, she can't help it, without any help To do everything she did back then, she needs someone to help her."
Fan Xian frowned, looked at Si Gu Jian and said, "You?"
"It's me." Si Gujian said indifferently: "Although I am an idiot, I am the young master of the City Lord's Mansion after all. As long as I control the City Lord's Mansion, the Ye family's business name will naturally be able to operate smoothly in Dongyi City."
"Understood." Fan Xian lowered his head and said, "The chance meeting under the big green tree is not necessarily a chance meeting. In other words, before she entered Dongyi City, she already knew the situation in the city, so she chose it. about you."
"No, meeting by chance is just meeting by chance." Si Gu Jian said indifferently: "At least I insist on this. If she is looking for a partner, there are too many people better than me. The things in her mind are enough to attract countless wealth. , and the existence of the blind man can guarantee that she does not have any real enemies in this world."
"What were you guys doing in the years before starting a business?" Fan Xian didn't dispute this question.
"I continued to watch ants, then practice swords, and then one day, Fei Jie's old poison came." Si Gu Jian yawned, it seemed that long-term memories really bothered him a bit.
"Oh, master said that the most glorious thing in his life was to cure an idiot in Dongyi City into a great master." Fan Xian laughed.
Si Gu Jian sneered and said, "I'm just thinking about things in my head, and I'm not really an idiot. What does it have to do with Fei Jie to become a monster like a Grand Master?"
Fan Xian smiled, and said with a smile: "Of course it has something to do with my mother."
Si Gu Jian was silent for a moment, and then laughed: "Your mother can pass Tianyi's skills to Ku He, and of course she can pass on the set of sword skills to me... However, I am a genius, and your mother's set of sword skills is nothing Useful, what is really useful is what I realized later.”
"Well, you seem to be more narcissistic than I imagined." Fan Xian shrugged, but he knew that the great master was telling the truth, even if the Sigu sword formula was one of the skills that Ye Qingmei stole from the temple back then. One, but with the appearance of a mortal, one can cultivate to the realm of a master. It is not enough to achieve it without great genius, great perseverance, and great luck.
"Genius has many meanings." Si Gu Jian's eyelids drooped, as if they might close at any time, and could never be opened again, "Your mother once said that my genius lies in concentration and indifference."
"It's not easy to find someone who can watch the ants move for ten years." Si Gujian said hoarsely, "It's even more difficult for an idiot who kills tens of thousands of ants with thin wooden branches one by one." I found it, I was lucky to meet your mother and Wuzhu, and your mother was also lucky to meet me in Dongyi City."
Fan Xian was unable to speak for a long time, secretly savoring these words, thinking to himself that decades ago, when the wind was surging across the continent, there were countless talented and talented people, those with perseverance like a bitter lotus, and those who were as stupid as a Sigua sword, Ninjas as capable as His Majesty all appeared at that time, and then Ye Qingmei escaped from the temple with Uncle Wuzhu and met these characters.
Regardless of realm, regardless of luck, in terms of talent and will, in this world today, no one can compare with those strong men who have not yet become great masters back then. Haitang can't do it, her master dares to eat human flesh, Fan Xian can't, his emperor Lao Tzu can endure the supreme pain and despair with his meridians shattered, neither can Wang Shisanlang, his sword master doesn't take human life seriously at all . Contemporary young people have their own flaws and shortcomings. It will take many years and many ups and downs to make up for this gap, and then they can touch the layer of paper between heaven and man, and finally jump over and become A true grand master.
"Everything is fate." Fan Xian looked at Si Gu Jian and sighed.
Si Gu Jian looked at Fan Xian with a strange expression, and said, "Do you want to learn? If you want to learn, just say so."
Fan Xian's heart skipped a beat. Knowing what the sword master was going to tell him at this time, a wry smile appeared on his face, and he said softly, "I think you should already know, I already know."
Si Gu Jian said indifferently: "I'm talking about the real Si Gu Jian."
…
…
Fan Xian's heart was shaken, and after a long silence, he suddenly said, "Actually, there is no difference. The key lies in people. The young people of our generation are still not as good as your generation. Of course, this gap may gradually increase. Shrinking, but even if you move all the things in the temple in front of me, what can I do if I can't practice?"
He has infinite feelings in his heart. It seems that those exercises that his mother stole from the temple were passed on to these great masters respectively. Except for Ye Liuyun's Liuyun Sanshou, whose reason is unclear, the others have already passed. Got enough proof.
Outside the temple, Ku He paid the price of being seriously injured, rescued Ye Qingmei, who was only four years old at the time, and then obtained the price from Ye Qingmei, which is the supreme method that is practiced every day.
Although Si Gu Jian's swordsmanship was comprehended by himself with excellent aura and infatuation, it is obvious that if there is no chance encounter under the big green tree, an idiot will still be an idiot after all, and cannot be inspired, how can he leap to the next level?
As for the yellow booklet that has been with Fan Xian, the first book is domineering, and the second book is kingly. He has followed it for twenty years, and now he naturally understands that it was left by his mother to the emperor Lao Tzu, and then the emperor Lao Tzu did not know how to pass through Wuzhu. hand, left to myself.
It was the domineering technique that made Fan Xian feel a sense of frustration, no matter what he couldn't enter the realm of dominance. And he also learned Tianyi's true qi method, and it didn't help him in any qualitative way. Even if Sigu Jian really passed on the so-called real Sigu sword to himself today, what help would it have
Fan Xian has gradually picked up Ye Qingmei's remnants scattered in this world, and one more thing seems useless.
"Ye Qingmei grew into a towering green tree in Dongyi City back then, and I gained a position in Dongyi City by relying on the sword in my hand, and became her insect-catching partner beside this big tree." Si Gu Jian Slightly closing his eyes, he said softly: "If you don't know how to practice, you have to continue practicing. It's not so easy for a tree to grow."
Fan Xian smiled, walked under the towering green tree, patted the trunk lightly, and said, "I'm not afraid that I won't be able to chew too much. Since you definitely want me to learn, then I'll try to learn." , if you want to know what will happen next, please log in, more chapters, support the author, support the original!)
