Chapter 5: The Rest of My Life Will Be Dead
Li Tianlan quietly looked at the old man who stepped into the lonely mountain.
His eyes were a little dazed.
His world was silent.
The surface of the lake was full of exploding water, with splashes and rising waves, and large swaths of the lake surging and rippling like a tsunami in a raging storm.
But Li Tianlan had no sound in his ears.
The world is inherently quiet.
He could only hear the dissipation of the clouds, silent, but incomparably pleasant.
The old man went up to the lonely mountain, his footsteps did not stop, he stepped directly into Qingyun Mountain, and went straight to Li Tianlan from all the way up in the sea of flowers in the mountains.
The clouds and mist on Qingyun Mountain completely dissipated.
Li Tianlan, who was in the invincible realm but equivalent to having no force, began to relax.
It feels very comfortable.
His realm finally began to recede when the clouds had completely disappeared.
Invincible realm, half-step invincible, thunder peak, fire peak, ice condensation peak, qi realm.
kept falling back, and finally completely withdrew from the Imperial Qi Realm.
The old man who tread water and climbed the mountain can be described as a flamboyant and domineering walked in front of Li Tianlan, he witnessed the process of Li Tianlan's breath from prosperity to decline, and the old man seemed very indifferent and wise most of the time, and his eyes were a little complicated.
Li Tianlan laughed.
His aura weakened, but his demeanor did not weaken by half a point, and at this moment, his whole body seemed to be glowing, and his every move was flawless, exuding a dazzling and brilliant charm.
It wasn't until this moment that Li Tianlan was sure that he had really ushered in a new life.
So he will laugh.
But if he is a new student today, then what did he get in the previous nineteen years?
He has the twin veins of wind and thunder, and if he is invincible, he is the Tianjiao of Zhongzhou.
But now, he is just an ordinary person with wind and thunder pulses.
How inconsistent this sentence is, I'm afraid only those who really understand martial arts can understand it.
Li Tianlan's heart was in turmoil, and even the excitement of seeing the old man became a lot more depressed.
"Grandpa. ”
He exclaimed softly.
When Master Wuwei died in heaven and earth, it was Li Honghe who appeared here who should not have appeared.
Li Honghe's face was ruddy and radiant, after the border battle, he seemed to be more than ten years younger, looking at his grandson, who was already famous in the dark world at a young age, he smiled very satisfied: "You did a good job in Dongdao." How's it going? How do you feel now?"
Li Tianlan's heart gradually sank, until it sank to the bottom.
Autumn has just come, and the weather is still very hot now, and it is noon, but Li Tianlan feels cold.
Because Li Honghe's current state is really too abnormal.
The Li clan participated in the border battle on the fifth day, and Li Tianlan had heard it when he was still on the East Island, but the news from afar was naturally vague and unpretentious, and no one knew the impact and consequences of that series of actions.
But it's different these days.
Li Honghe appeared directly in front of him, and it was clear at a glance.
This kind of Li Honghe, Li Tianlan is the most unfamiliar, whether it is spirit or appearance, the current Li Honghe is completely different from before.
Li Tianlan knew very well what Li Honghe's state was before, he was nearly eighty years old, his physical strength was uncontrollably weakened, and he could only barely maintain himself in the invincible realm, and it was even difficult to exert all the strength of the invincible realm.
But now Li Honghe is full of energy, and his powerful aura almost comes out of his body, which makes people feel awe at a glance, and Li Honghe in this state gives Li Tianlan even more than when he was at the peak of his childhood.
Li Tianlan's face was a little pale.
He was well aware of what that situation meant.
The so-called powerful aura that came out of his body was a sign that the power in Li Honghe's body was completely out of control.
"You forced your way back to peak form?"
Li Tianlan tried not to let his voice tremble.
He was melancholy about the demise of Master Wuwei, but in the face of Li Honghe in this state, he was a little powerless, even desperate.
"It's not a big deal. ”
Li Honghe smiled, he smiled very open-mindedly: "I am willing." ”
"Willingly?!"
Li Tianlan raised his voice suddenly, and his laughter was a little cold: "For Zhongzhou?
"Also for the sake of the Lee family. ”
Li Honghe looked at his grandson calmly, and he could clearly feel the indifference and stubbornness in the depths of Li Tianlan's eyes.
"Rest assured. ”
Li Honghe patted Li Tianlan on the shoulder: "I know my body in my own heart, although I am not optimistic, but it is no problem to support it for a few years, and there may not be no turnaround at that time, who can say clearly what will happen in a few years?
Li Tianlan's anger and resentment in his stomach were as cold as iceberg indifference.
He suppressed the worry in his heart, which can even be said to be frightened, breathed steadily, and said indifferently: "It's just starting all over again." ”
Li Honghe's eyes were as gentle as before, and he said softly: "But this is the second time." ”
"So it's going to be faster than the first time. ”
Li Tianlan's voice was firm and persistent.
Li Honghe nodded, took out a cigarette and lit it, and stopped talking.
"Why are you here?"
Li Tianlan was silent for a while, and then suddenly asked.
"I'm here to deliver the bald head. ”
Li Honghe took a deep breath of cigarette, and his eyes were a little sad: "I didn't expect it to be a step too late, this guy, in the end, I'm afraid he doesn't want to see me, right?"
The master of Wuwei, who was famous in Central Continent, became bald when he reached Li Honghe's mouth.
Li Tianlan was also a little sad.
Because Master Wuwei is no longer bald in the end.
Along with his figure, he perished in heaven and earth, and his long hair was as pale as frost and snow.
Li Tianlan sat down.
Li Honghe was on his left.
To his right is the place where Master Wuwei died.
There was only a rock facing the landscape, no ashes, clean.
"You used to be good friends, right?"
Li Tianlan asked in a low voice.
Li Honghe just hummed silently and didn't say anything.
Master Wuwei has many secrets, and there are also many secrets between him and the Li family.
But it's all in the past.
The master has died, and his past, his secrets, and his friendship with the Li family have all become stories.
Tale.
It's okay not to listen.
"The mountains and rivers here are clean and suitable for retirement, I like it very much. ”
Li Honghe looked at the landscape in front of him with some distraction and said softly.
He looked at Li Tianlan, who was sitting beside him with a dazzling demeanor that he didn't dare to look at directly, and said with a smile: "How about the Li family take root here in the future? You are in Huating, and it is closer to here." ”
Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows in some surprise, and he was not sure what Li Honghe meant for a while.
"Here?"
"This is it. ”
Li Honghe sat on a flat rock, with his back to the green mountains and facing the green water, his figure was small in the world, but he exuded a kind of strength and majesty that Li Tianlan had never seen.
Li Tianlan was a little excited.
He determined what Li Honghe meant, and his grandfather wanted all the Li family to get out of the camp in the primeval forest and come to Qingyun Mountain, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful.
Could it be that during the period of his 'death', what agreement did the Li family and Zhongzhou re-reach?
"Grandpa, are we free?
Li Tianlan's tone was undisguised with excitement.
"Don't mention Middle-earth. ”
Li Honghe shook his head: "From now on, the Li family will only live for the Li family." ”
He glanced at Li Tianlan and said with a smile: "Of course, you are different. I'm already old, you're still young, you must become the god of war in Zhongzhou in the future, this is the honor that the Li family deserves. ”
Li Tianlan was still excited in his heart, but his brows were already furrowed.
Grandpa's meaning was that he wanted to go against the will of Zhongzhou and forcibly move the Li family to Qingyun Mountain?
He thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid that when the time comes, Zhongzhou will find some reason to not let us..."
"Why?"
Li Honghe laughed, and the expression between his eyebrows became more and more majestic: "They have been wanting me to go back to Youzhou to recuperate all these years, and now I have taken the initiative to come out, and if I don't go back to Youzhou, can't I cultivate in Lin'an? I don't listen, that's. At this stage, if I don't let them speak, they won't dare to speak. ”
Li Honghe's tone was calm and confident, and he vaguely seemed to have regained his grandeur and domineering demeanor when he was the god of war for the protector of the country in Central Continent: "I like it here." It's mine. The Lee family will only live for the Lee family in the future. ”
Li Tianlan's mood was agitated, but his eyes gradually became gloomy.
He understood what Grandpa meant.
Li Honghe's current state is extremely bad, but at the same time he is extremely powerful, the power in his body has been completely unbalanced, in the next time, his body will gradually weaken, but the strength will become stronger and stronger, until his strength grows to the limit that his body can hold, Li Honghe's entire body will be completely shattered.
But this process is not achieved in a day, but requires a relatively slow process, Li Honghe will become weaker and stronger in this process, and the end of this road is death.
Only death.
No one wants to provoke Li Honghe, who is in this state, and naturally he doesn't dare to touch the Li family.
Because Li Honghe will die, such a provocation is unnecessary.
As long as Li Honghe is still alive, he who only lives for the Li family occupies Gushan, and no one in the entire Central Continent will talk nonsense.
But what if grandpa can't support it?
Li Tianlan's palms trembled slightly, he didn't know how long this process would take, but he knew very well that this process would not be very short, but it would definitely not be too long, at least in this time, it would be difficult for him to start from scratch and go straight to the invincible realm.
At that time, once Grandpa can't support it, and he is invincible, the Li family, who lacks the deterrent power, will face the shadows and fangs of countless enemies inside and outside Middle-earth.
Li Tianlan clenched his fists tightly, his eyes resolute.
"Grow up quickly. ”
Li Honghe didn't look at Li Tianlan, he looked at the West Lake in his sight, and sighed softly: "Since I came to Gushan, as long as I don't die, there shouldn't be many people who dare to fight you." The next period of time should be the safest time for you, come on, Li will still rely on you in the future. ”
"Grandpa rest assured. ”
Li Tianlan's tone was calm.
He rarely said such things, but every time he reassured Li Honghe, Li Honghe would really be relieved.
Under the bright and blazing sun, the old man laughed softly, he looked at Li Tianlan very kindly, and suddenly asked, "What do you think of me?"
Li Tianlan was stunned.
"You're my grandfather. ”
He was stunned for a moment, and then spoke seriously.
That's what he said.
There is no evaluation, and it is also an evaluation.
Li Honghe remained silent and said with a smile: "In my life, I have not done many things right, and I have done many things wrong. But many mistakes can be made up in the end, but some mistakes, to this day, have long been irreparable, and they can only be wronged. Tianlan, the thing I am most proud of is that I have the best grandson, but the most regrettable thing is also the same. ”
"If, I mean, if I can give you a chance to choose again, you don't have to think about the Li family anymore, and you don't have to think about responsibility, you can go down the mountain now, you can be an ordinary person, or go to the Reincarnation Palace, and fly with that President Qin, or have other choices, in this case, are you still willing to choose to carry the Li family's past?"
Li Tianlan was silent for a long time.
Li Honghe is talking about ifs.
But there are no ifs in life.
He said indifferently: "I don't have a chance. ”
"Now you have. ”
Li Honghe looked at Li Tianlan: "You can choose to give up your responsibility, I won't blame you." ”
"Heh..."
Li Tianlan looked at the distant sky, his voice was steady without the slightest hesitation: "The thing I am most proud of is that I have the greatest grandfather." This is true in my heart, and it is also true in Middle-earth. ”
That's his answer.
Li Honghe is great in his heart because of family affection.
Great in Middle-earth is because of glory.
The most worthy of his proudest glory.
Li Honghe laughed.
His smile was not joyful, but a little melancholy.
"So... You can only make mistakes if you are wrong. ”
He looked at Li Tianlan and said softly.
"Not long after you left, Li Huacheng went to the camp once. I let the deceased follow him, and now he should be one of his personal guards, when you return to Huating, you will meet, he has some things to hand over to you, and when you are free, you can take things to the Dongcheng family. ”
Li Honghe said.
Li Tianlan's heart moved, he wanted to ask about the Dongcheng family and Dongcheng, but when the words came to his mouth, he still didn't speak, just nodded.
He already knew the news that Li Xiangsheng followed the head of the academy to leave the camp, but when it came to this matter, Li Tianlan sounded another thing: "I have an agreement with Zhuang Huayang, after the decisive battle on Long Island, I can transfer three veterans of the Li family, I want..."
"I'll arrange it. ”
Li Honghe looked at Li Tianlan with a smile, and his smile was very quiet.
Li Tianlan's body trembled slightly, and his grandfather didn't let him name him and directly said that he would arrange it, which covered up and directly touched on a question he had always wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask.
The fifth day of the decisive battle on Long Island.
The five major forces united to invade the border of Middle-earth.
The Li family, which has long since lost its prime, is facing the five major forces, how many people are left now?
"We... How many more?"
Li Tianlan was silent for a long time before he asked in a hoarse voice.
"Count me, sixty-three. ”
Li Honghe did not hesitate and directly gave an accurate figure: "Ten of them were seriously injured and have lost their combat effectiveness. ”
Li Tianlan's body shook for a moment, and then he stood in place expressionlessly.
Of the sixty-three people, ten of them lost their combat effectiveness, and after giving him three, there were only fifty people left in the Li family.
And when he left the border camp a few months ago, there were still more than a hundred Li veterans in the camp!
They say that they are veterans of the Li family, but those who can survive to this day, any one of them is enough to become a general!
In the border battle, the Li family lost more than half!
Li Tianlan took a deep breath and said calmly: "I know." ”
He turned to look at the top of the mountain.
In the direction of the top of the mountain, Qingyun Temple no longer exists, and Li Tianlan couldn't see the little silver light hidden in the flowers.
"There is also a fierce soldier on the top of the mountain, it is Qin Shi Mingyue of the Jiang clan in South America. The human emperor is broken, but with Qin Shi Mingyue to make up for it, it is not a loss. But now that the murderer has entered the time to store energy, let's put it here first. ”
Li Tianlan said.
Li Honghe looked at Li Tianlan's arm.
In his hand he held a scarlet broad-bladed sword.
The sword of the ancestor, the name of the sword is punished by heaven.
Li Honghe was not surprised, as early as the battle on the border, he had seen Lin Fengting and also saw this sword.
"Got it. ”
Li Honghe nodded and said.
"Gone. ”
Li Tianlan took a deep look at the old man in front of him, and he understood the purpose of the old man's appearance here today.
came to Qingyun Mountain from the border camp to retire, such a high-profile, saying that he lived for the Li family, but in fact, it was more important to protect himself.
In the days when grandpa was constantly strong, his own safety was enough to be guaranteed.
As for the future, what will happen when grandpa can't support it and he has never been invincible.
Grandpa didn't think of this question, but he was not qualified to think about it.
For so many years, Li has not had a future.
The so-called future can only be said in the future.
Li Tianlan didn't say anything more concerned, everything was already doomed.
What is destined will not be meaningful.
He knelt down in front of Li Honghe, kowtowed a few times, then straightened up and went straight down the mountain.
Li Honghe watched Li Tianlan's back leave, with obvious relief in his eyes.
Today's meeting was out of his plans.
Li Tianlan's identity was exposed so quickly, and it was also outside his plan.
Under the overturn of the general trend, there are too many surprises.
But Li Honghe saw Qin Weibai's shadow in the general trend.
So he acquiesced to these accidents.
There is no other reason.
Because instinct told him that the perfect and dreamy strange woman that made people feel unreal.
It's worth entrusting.
The rarest thing in the world is that it is worth it.
The old man looked at Li Tianlan's back calmly.
Farther and farther away.
Drifting away.
Life is long, the sky is big, and your life will have shadows and lights.
The old man slowly turned around and walked in the direction of the top of the mountain.
An old man and a young man, the grandfather and grandson are in diametrically opposite directions and go in opposite directions.
It's like the fate of each other.
The young man is reborn.
The old man will die for the rest of his life.
