The True Colors of a Hero

Chapter 30: First heard of ancient martial arts

"Your third grandfather told me when he appeared a year ago that you would come back today."

After all, Liu Xun grew up under the old man's care. Although he would not tell Liu Xun about the murderer, he could still tell him these things. The most important thing was that the old man wanted Liu Xun to know that there are always people better than you!

"A year ago..." Liu Xun frowned when he heard this. Could it be that his third grandfather knew that he would retire and that these things would happen a year ago? He knew before he died? But this was too outrageous...

No, that's not right! There is a kind of person who can. When Liu Xun thought of this, he took a breath. Is it true what the textbooks say? Is there really such a thing as an "ancient warrior" in this world

"Could it be that Third Grandpa is an ancient martial artist?" A gleam of light flashed in Liu Xun's eyes.

If the third grandfather is an ancient martial artist, then it would be easier to avenge grandpa. You know, there are only a handful of ancient martial artists in the whole of China, and these people are hard to come by.

Thinking of this, Liu Xun frowned. No, that's not right. Third Grandpa is an ancient warrior. Given the relationship between Third Grandpa and Grandpa, if he could take revenge, he would have done it long ago. Why wait until now

Liu Xun frowned even deeper. There was only one possibility: the murderer was an ancient warrior! Thinking of the ancient warriors described vaguely in the textbook, Liu Xun took a breath. No wonder Second Grandpa didn't tell Liu Zhang who that person was. This was the reason.

The second grandfather shook his head and said with a smile: "Your third grandfather is not an ancient warrior! But he is even rarer than an ancient warrior. Let me tell you this, your third grandfather is the only one in the world who has mastered Qimen Dunjia and Bagua Yin Yang."

"Qi Men Dun Jia! Bagua Yin Yang!" Liu Xun felt his mouth dry. These were two amazing books that were like myths!

What is a strange book? After the nuclear war, these strange books had disappeared without a trace. Liu Xun would never have thought that such a strange book still existed in the world!

The textbooks all said that the strange books such as Qi Men Dun Jia, Bagua Yin Yang and Zhou Yi were lost in the nuclear war two thousand years ago. But now, my second grandfather actually told me that my third grandfather owned these strange books!

"Xiaoxun, maybe your skills are good enough to rank among the top ten in the world, except for ancient martial artists from various countries, but you have to know that there are always people who are better than you!"

When the second grandfather said this, he looked at the boundless sky and smiled, and then said: "Let me tell you something you don't know! Before Xiao Zhang was picked up by your grandfather, it was your third grandfather who sent you to your grandfather. I was there at the time. Your third grandfather was chasing an ancient warrior at the time. He said that in four years, he would take the ancient warrior's inheritance and pass it on to you."

Liu Xun nodded. He knew that ancient warriors had always been passed down through inheritance, and it was impossible for one to become an ancient warrior by oneself, so the ancient warriors in this world had always been a dead end.

Thinking of this, Liu Xun frowned again. Was he sent to Grandpa by Third Grandpa? And he also asked Grandpa about his life experience, but Grandpa said he didn't know. Doesn't this mean that Third Grandpa knows my life experience

"But four years later, when your third grandfather saw you again, he did not pass on the ancient martial arts to you. Do you know why?" Just as Liu Xun was thinking, the words of his second grandfather rang out.

"I don't know..." Liu Xun remembered that when he was four years old, his third grandfather came once, but he said something to his grandfather and then left. He came and left quickly. Liu Xun and his third grandfather only met once.

"Because of the violence in your heart, even though you were only four years old at that time, your third grandfather could see what your character would be like in twenty years. He told your grandfather that the time had not come yet! And then he left, because your third grandfather was afraid that with your character, possessing ancient martial arts would not be a good thing for you, but would endanger your life." After his second grandfather finished speaking, Liu Xun remained silent. His character at that time was indeed arrogant, and he looked down on the whole world.

"So now Third Grandpa not only has mastered Qi Men Dun Jia and Bagua Yin Yang, but is also an ancient martial artist. Why doesn't he go and avenge Grandpa? Can't he kill that man like this?" Liu Xun frowned and asked in confusion.

Second Grandpa shook his head and smiled, saying, "You overestimate ancient warriors. No matter how strong an ancient warrior is, he is just a person. Do you think he can stop a tank? Although ancient warriors are rare, they are not as exaggerated as described in textbooks. For example, the gap between ancient warriors and ordinary people is like the gap between a newborn baby and a special forces soldier who has been tempered by thousands of hammers."

"I see. In other words, in their eyes, I am just a newborn baby." Liu Xun frowned and said softly.

"Haha..." Second Grandpa laughed loudly, looking at Liu Xun and said, "You can't say that. You are not an ordinary person now. Compared with the ancient warriors, you are just a seven or eight-year-old child. Although it is still not worth mentioning, at least you have the power to threaten them."

Liu Xun shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying, "After hearing what Second Grandfather said, Liu Xun felt that he had lived in vain all these years. He had lived for these twenty years and was still just a seven or eight-year-old child..."

"Okay, little brat, just be content!" Second Grandpa patted Liu Xun's head, then pointed to his heart, chuckled and continued: "Remember, the most terrifying thing in the world is not nuclear weapons, and the strongest person is not a ancient warrior, but the human heart!"

Liu Xun nodded and said seriously: "Thank you, Second Grandpa, Liu Xun understands."

"Just go on your way, steadily and cautiously, one step at a time. I'll go first." The second grandfather sighed and walked towards the carriage at the end of the field.

Liu Xun looked at his second grandfather's back and whispered, "Second grandfather, will grandpa blame me for what I'm going to do in the future?"

The second grandfather stopped and walked towards the carriage without looking back, saying, "Since ancient times, great treacherous people look like loyal people, great false people look like true people, loyalty and righteousness, and evil cannot be seen from the surface. As for the right and wrong of things, let future generations judge! People should walk their own way! Let those rumors drift away with the wind..."

Second Grandfather did not lower his voice when he spoke, so Liu Zhang and the other two who were not far away also heard it. Liu Xun and Liu Zhang looked at each other, and bowed deeply towards Second Grandfather's back.

The carriage had already left. Liu Xun and his three companions paid tribute to the tombstone again and then left the cemetery.

"Your second grandfather is really a strange man, and what he said makes sense." On the way back to the village, Li Mengyao recalled what her second grandfather said when he left, and said with emotion. (To be continued)
