In the Paradise base, several hostesses of the Xia family came after hearing the news. As the daughters-in-law of the Xia family, they must come to see their father-in-law.
But when the six daughters-in-law came to the gate, they didn't see Xia Lei and Xia Changhe. After searching for a while, they found that Xia Lei and Xia Changhe were standing face to face on a wasteland dozens of meters away, as if they were talking about something. .
"Really, dad is back, and my husband doesn't bring anyone home but he stands so far away talking. What are the father and son talking about?" Jiang Ruyi saw Xia Lei and Xia Changhe and started talking.
"I don't know." Fanfan sighed, "Dad... is a very strange person. He didn't come back when we got married, and he didn't come back when the child was born. He only came back once when the child was so old, and he didn't even come in. what's going on?"
Liang Siyao and Long Bing looked at each other, as well as Tang Yuyan, and her reaction was also calm. These three women who were agents all knew the details of Xia Changhe. Although it was not comprehensive, in their opinion, it was not surprising at all that Xia Changhe behaved like this.
"How about we invite dad to our home." Shentu Tianyin said.
"I'm going to invite you. What's going on if you don't come in even though you're here? If you tell me, you'd think us daughters-in-law would be so difficult." Tang Yuyan said, and then walked towards Xia Lei and Xia Changhe.
Qian Jun, who was standing at the door, suddenly said: "Sister-in-law, let them talk, don't go over."
"Why?"
Qian Jun was silent for a moment before saying, "He is very dangerous."
Tang Yuyan was stunned for a moment. She thought Qian Jun would give her more explanations, but Qian Jun kept his mouth shut. This guy, every word seems to be worth a million.
Long Bing walked to Tang Yuyan's side, "Don't go over there yet, take a look before talking."
"Yes." Liang Siyao said, "My husband will take care of everything."
Tang Yuyan nodded and gave up her thoughts.
The six ladies of the Xia family all focused their attention on Xia Lei and Xia Changhe, but they could not hear what the two men were talking about.
Xia Changhe's story told about the barren hills of Jerusalem and mentioned Cassia Ruiz. Xia Lei could no longer calm down. He had a hunch that the story that followed was something he didn't want to hear.
"When I saw him for the first time, I thought he was just an old man. I didn't know that he was the demon who dueled with Isitabu, because at that time he was wearing a set of silver armor and I couldn't see him at all. His face. He was badly injured and his armor was lost. He was lying on the wasteland, dying. I walked over and asked him if there was anything he could do for me. I actually wanted to wait for him to die and then take away his body. valuable things…”
"I still remember the first words he said to me. He said he didn't need help, and I was the one who needed help. He spoke Chinese, very authentic Chinese. He and his words made me curious, so I talked to him. He said that he knew everything about me and that he could help me and give me great power and even allow me to live for hundreds of years. I was surprised, that was not the immortality that Emperor Yongle wanted to obtain. The elixir? I told him I wanted it and asked him what I had to pay..."
"There is never a free lunch in this world. He can help me, but what I need to pay for it is my freedom and loyalty. He wants me to be his and do things for him. When he made this condition, I I didn't hesitate, because I had no choice. If I didn't accept his conditions, I would die in a foreign country. I readily agreed to his conditions, and that's when he told me his identity. He was from another country. World, he has lived for a long, long time, so long that even he himself does not know how long it has been... "
Xia Lei's heart skipped a beat, "Cassia Ruiz claims to be the only prehistoric person. Could it be that he is not a prehistoric figure in this world, but a prehistoric figure in the world of Isitabu? The Bronze Book I got, and the Vatican Did he bring the Iron Book of the Holy See from another world? Or... did he deliberately stay here to confuse my sight and influence my thinking?"
He felt like he was getting close to the truth, not the whole truth, but at least part of it.
Xia Changhe's voice was calm and slow, but it also had a hint of sadness, "He gave me some medicine. Although he didn't tell me the name of the medicine, I guessed that it was the medicine of immortality that Zhu Di also wanted. .I took the medicine he gave me, and some changes occurred in my body. I no longer got sick, and my strength was much greater than before. Sometimes I even felt that I was the most powerful warrior in the world. I was very Thanks to him, I stayed by his side. I thought he would let me kill someone, or form an army for him, and create his own dynasty. But after a while, he only gave me a compass, It’s the compass you hold in your hand.”
Xia Lei's eyes suddenly moved to the compass in his hand, but his mind went blank.
"He told me that he needed to sleep for a period of time, maybe hundreds of years. He asked me to hold this compass and wait for its instructions, waiting for the birth of the Chosen One. I asked him who was the Chosen One, and he But he didn't give me any explanation, and instructed me to follow his instructions. I held the compass, but I didn't get any instructions from it. Its pointer was always in a still state. After that, he became weaker and weaker. . I know that it was caused by the decisive battle between him and Isitabu. He is going to die, and so is Isitabu... "
"I wanted to bury him, but he didn't want to. That day he called me to his side, told me some things, and then rode away. Before leaving, he told me that he would come back, and I To fulfill my oath to him. In fact, I fulfilled it. After he left, I also left Jerusalem. I took my compass all over the world in search of the Chosen One, and I went from the Middle East to Africa, and from Africa to Europe. When I stayed in a foreign country, I was once wandering, lost my way, and my faith was shaken. I tried several relationships, fell in love with local women, and got married, but I couldn't make them pregnant with my children. They were in front of me day by day. I am getting old, but I am still young..."
"I finally returned to my hometown, and I learned that the Ming Dynasty had been destroyed, and the emperor at that time was Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. I couldn't find my relatives from back then, and I started a new life. The days just repeated themselves day by day. , everyone longs for immortality, but I know that feeling is not pleasant. Loneliness, it is an indescribable loneliness. No matter how many people are around you, you will feel that you are the only one in the world, and everyone else Not your kind..."
"I didn't know what to do, and time meant nothing to me. I kept waiting for the compass to give me new instructions, but it never moved. Later, the Qing Dynasty fell, the Republic of China was established, and then the Republic of China also disappeared. I witnessed it There have been too many dynasty changes and the ups and downs of this nation. I could actually do something for it, but I don’t. I lack the patriotism you have, but as a Han Chinese, I am happy with what you are doing now... "
Xia Lei smiled bitterly. Xia Changhe is indeed a member of Casilla Ruiz, just like Leonardo da Vinci under Isitabu. Xia Changhe got the medicine from Cassia Ruiz and gained great strength and a long life. If he wanted to do something to help this ancient country and nation, it would not necessarily be possible for those who were above the heads of this country and nation to do something. The humiliation in history will not exist, and history will be rewritten. He had the ability, but he didn't do it.
Sadly, he could understand Xia Changhe. Everything has its own laws of development, which can also be understood as steps of evolution. Once a dynasty is established, it will inevitably fall one day, just like the changes of the four seasons and the birth, old age, illness and death of people. If Xia Changhe intervened, it would be interfering with the laws of nature and the laws of universe evolution. Xia Changhe had witnessed too many dynasty changes, and his heart had become numb. How could he intervene
"Later, a new country was established, and I entered modern life. But no matter what era it was, I never forgot my mission. I was always waiting for the chosen person to appear. Finally, one day, I learned from the compass I heard some strange sounds, like someone talking. I couldn't understand his language, but I knew my mission had finally come. The night I heard the sounds, I dreamed of a city I had never been to That city, but I actually knew its name, Haizhu City. The next day I packed up my gifts and boarded the train to Haizhu. At that time, the compass needle was already trembling slightly, as if it was preparing... "
"On the second day after arriving in Haizhu, the compass needle began to tremble violently, and finally pointed in one direction. The scene at that time is still unforgettable to me. It was a rainy night. I held the compass, and under its guidance, I I came to the rooftop of a residential building. Then, I discovered you... "
Xia Lei couldn't help but said: "Did I fall from the sky?"
Xia Changhe said: "Of course you didn't fall from the sky. You are a person of flesh and blood. When I found you, you were no different from an ordinary child."
"Then who gave birth to me and then abandoned me on the rooftop? You said that among the people you transferred out of that area, no one had children at all during that time, and no one abandoned their children! "Xia Lei became excited.
Xia Changhe shook his head, "What I said are all facts. I really don't know the answer to this matter. You can only find the answer yourself."
Even Xia Changhe couldn't find out his biological parents, how could Xia Lei find out? Meeting his biological mother was nothing to a normal person, but for him it had become a luxury. His heart was filled with sadness.
Xia Changhe sighed, "However, although I have not found your biological mother, I have been studying the possibility of your appearance. After all, Cassia Ruiz asked me to search for you hundreds of years ago. And tell me you are the chosen one.”
Xia Lei looked straight at Xia Changhe, "What do you want to say?"
