Korea, Jeollanam-do.
Jeollanam-do is located at the most southwestern tip of Koryo. The whole territory has a coastline of more than 6,000 miles. These coastlines include more than 2,000 islands, three-quarters of which are uninhabited islands.
Since the 'unknown recovery event', Haiphong has become a top priority for small coastal countries.
In order to protect the country, the high-level officials of Koryo issued a series of decrees more than ten years ago, one of which is to open up all the permissions of these islands, and families who think they are powerful can choose islands to build on their own, and own the islands forever. ownership.
Of course, these families who choose to settle on the island have corresponding obligations.
The original intention of this decree is to use great power to resist the crisis from the deep sea. Unfortunately, those family powers are not stupid, and there is no need to damage their own interests for the so-called 'permanent ownership', so these islands have gradually become mutant creatures. paradise.
Of course there are some exceptions.
Jeollanam-do is an unnamed island overseas with beautiful natural scenery and beautiful scenery. The whole island is lush and full of tall trees.
There is an ancient building complex in Daxia style hidden in the dense woods. The whole building complex is built symmetrically with the central axis of Daxia tradition. Among them, pavilions, pavilions, pools, pavilions and water pavilions are reflected in the green pines and cypresses; rockeries and rocks, The flower bed bonsai, vines and bamboos, the scenery is unusually unique.
The ancient buildings shrouded in darkness are brightly lit. If it weren't for the security patrols in black suits and beasts, those in them would think that they had traveled to ancient times.
The central axis is facing a magnificent hall. Compared with other buildings in the courtyard, the lights in this hall are extremely dim. There are candlelights reflected on the mahogany floor. On the southeast corner of the wall is a bookcase of sauce purple. The quiet moonlight penetrates through. Through the open carved wooden window, it sprinkled into the hall, and the shadow of the magnolia flower was projected on the guqin on the main table.
The off-white gauze swayed with the night wind, and some petals were brought in from the window and scattered on the strings. Sandalwood incense rose from the incense burner, and the fragrance permeated the entire hall.
Boom!
The old man in the large Hanfu knelt down behind the table, reached out and fiddled with the strings, and the petals beat gently on the trembling strings.
The old man's slender fingers fiddled back and forth, and the guqin made a ding-dong sound.
Two people sat on their knees after the table left and right, also wearing large plain Hanfu, one middle-aged and one teenager.
They bowed their heads slightly, as if listening to the old man's piano.
"Tai Xuan." The old voice sounded in the hall along with the sound of the piano, with a little imperial accent.
"Grandpa, I'm here."
The young man's body trembled, and he raised his head slightly to look at the old man.
"I have been training at home for so long this time, do you have any confidence in the national competition?" The old man closed his eyes slightly, his slender fingers beating on the strings.
"Grandpa, don't worry, grandson has devoted himself to training these days, and the war trainer hired at home is no longer a match for grandson." Li Taixuan said this, looking at the middle-aged man with a little smugness on his face: "If grandpa doesn't believe it, two Uncle can testify for me."
The middle-aged man returned a gentle smile to Li Taixuan, with a hint of pity in his eyes.
"Father, Xiao Wu's progress is really good these days."
Oops!
Seeing his second uncle's expression, Li Taixuan secretly thought that it was not good, and there was an expression on his face that wanted to cry without tears.
"Well." The old voice said calmly: "Be modest and prudent, consider yourself wise but not wise, and humble wisdom is great wisdom; self-esteem is not brave, and humble courage is great courage."
"Although our Li family is not in our home country, we can't forget the teachings of our ancestors. Taixuan, before you return to your home country to compete, copy the "Proverbs of Disciples" three times to sharpen your temper."
"Yes, Grandpa."
Li Taixuan replied reluctantly with a face down.
The old man nodded slightly and asked again: "Fengting, the industry in the clan has been good recently."
"Father." Li Fengting's face turned straight, and he replied respectfully, "It's okay here in Gaoli, but I'll let Fangyan take care of the industry in Daxia. With that girl's skill, I should be worry-free."
The old man nodded slightly: "I said why this girl hasn't bothered me for so long, the old man."
Speaking of this old man, he changed his words: "Feng Ting, it's been a long time since I went back to my home country to see it."
Li Fengting only knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he could only bite the bullet and answer: "In the past few years, things have been busy, and I really can't find time."
The sound of the piano came to an abrupt end, and the lingering sound lingered in the hall.
The old hand pressed the strings, and opened his eyes to look at his second son sternly.
"Can't find time, or don't want to go back?"
Facing the torture of the old man, Li Fengting lowered his head and muttered a few times: "Father. Fengting knows it's wrong."
The sound of the violin sounded, and the old man closed his eyes again: "Although I, Mrs. Li, have been away from my homeland for nearly a hundred years, you all need to remember the origin of your bloodline."
"Koryeo is a small country, narrow-minded, arrogant, and short-sighted. I hope you don't learn it."
Li Fengting and Li Taixuan looked at each other and said, "My son/sun remembers it."
"So best."
After playing for a while, I always felt a little uneasy, and it seemed that I was no longer in a state of lightness.
"My heart can't be calm."
"Fangyan, that girl is in her home country, and her body is unfamiliar to her."
Li Fengting understood: "Father, don't worry, I chose Bincheng for her, where our Li family has been in business for decades, and our eyeliners are everywhere."
"Before I left, I took a lot of bodyguards for her. Besides, I was just dealing with some business, and I wouldn't let her see blood easily." Speaking of this, Li Fengting smiled and said, "I see you, I just miss Fangyan too much. The girl will be uneasy."
The old man also felt that what his son said made sense, he nodded slightly: "This is the best."
The guqin sounded in the hall, and Li Fengting's uncle and nephew were about to bid farewell.
At this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps suddenly sounded in the corridor outside.
"My lord! Is my lord there!"
Before the person arrived, the voice had already passed.
Li Fengting and Li Taixuan quickly got up to greet him, and said respectfully, "Uncle Qi, my father is playing the piano, why are you so anxious."
Uncle Qi was wearing a Tang suit and was about seventy years old. After seeing Li Fengting, he tried his best to calm down his rapid breathing and saluted the two of them: "Second son, fifth son."
"Okay, let's be polite to the child."
The old man looked at Uncle Qi with a funny look: "I've been with me for decades, how can I become as impetuous as a child when I get old. If you have something to say slowly, I want you to stay with me for a few more years."
Uncle Qi twitched the corners of his mouth stiffly, not knowing what to say when the words came to his lips.
Seeing this, the old man restrained his smile. He looked at Uncle Qi and said solemnly, "What's going on?"
Uncle Qi pursed his lips: "Master, go and see the eldest lady, she. She was seriously injured!"
Boom!
The strings broke, and the old man stood up suddenly.
Magnolia petals slowly fell from the piano.
