Chapter Forty-Six: The Man in Sight
In the bustling and lively Sin City of the past, people went to empty buildings.
The original inhabitants of the city all worshipped in the abyss.
The few people who survived the Heavenly Trials were hidden in the city, waiting for the arrival of the human world.
In the dilapidated hut in the east of the city, Wen Ling lowered his head and was listless.
Through the conversation with Bai Ruhua, the old man knew that the world outside was turned upside down, and he also knew that the sect had three geniuses, and no one remembered his name.
For a while, sullen.
Situ Yu gloated and said: "In fact, it is also good to not be able to go out, there are talents in the country, and the era that belongs to you is gone forever, and now the sect is three-legged, and not many people remember you." ”
"Alas!"
Wen Ling sighed, put his hands in his sleeves, his old face became more and more gloomy, and he shrank in the corner and said nothing.
"The boat is naturally straight to the bridge, don't be too pessimistic. ”
Xu Feng couldn't bear it in his heart, and comforted him. The wind knows the strength of the grass, Wen Ling is also invincible, a world-famous figure, and he can't face it calmly when he is alive and dead. The once picturesque young man, who fought thousands of miles of blood, and the era of sticking a knife in the ribs for his friends disappeared in the long river of time.
Time is like a knife, Vice City is still the sharpest knife, grinding away the edges and corners of the teenager and exhausting the youth's blood. Today's Wen Ling is just a timid and sloppy old man.
"What if you go out? Once my friend didn't bury his bones, he became a big man in the sect. The woman you admire, the proprietress of the Red Mansion, is eternally young, and I probably won't recognize you as a sloppy old man. ”
Situ Yu looked at Wen Ling's decadent appearance, and he couldn't bear it at all, but when he thought of being put on an iron chain like a dog by the old man, selling on the street, gritting his teeth, and killing people, these words were indeed vicious.
Wen Ling suddenly seemed to be a teenager when he heard this, his eyes were cloudy and he looked at the ray of sunlight through the small window, as warm and bright as the first sun, but the light could not completely illuminate the dim room after all, just like his life, the memories of his youth were like the sunset illuminating the sky, just the last light before the night fell.
Situ Yu was still unwilling and wanted to strike while the iron was hot, but he was gagged by Xu Feng. The sloppy old man is pitiful enough, he has lived in Sin City for decades, things are not people, and his appearance has changed greatly, and he can also see the shadow of the hot-blooded young man back then, how much sadness and pain the old man has experienced over the years, only he knows.
Bai Ruhua comforted: "Senior Wen doesn't have to be sad, after going out, the junior will tell Ziyu Mountain to save the seniors from trouble." ”
Wen Ling waved his hand and sighed: "Actually, the little brother is right, the old man is not as good as a dog now, what can he do when he goes out? Some friends bury their bones, some friends may not want to recognize the old man, and there are even enemies who want to punish the old man in the future, the old man is not afraid of death, he has had the idea of dying countless times over the years, but he can't forget her, thinking that he will always see each other, so he has survived for so many years. ”
Xu Feng said: "Do your predecessors still have a will?"
Wen Ling took out a jade pendant from Huaicong, handed it to Xu Feng, and instructed: "I originally wanted to ask you to bring a letter to Su Niang, but after listening to the little brother's words, I also died of this idea." ”
Situ Yu interjected: "Old man Wen, I'm talking nonsense, don't worry about it, the grievances between us are over." ”
The beauty is white-headed, and the hero is in the twilight.
The high spirits of the past can't withstand the cruelty of the years after all. What about the Holy Realm? It is also subject to the rules of heaven and earth.
There are no rules, but the rules have stifled the blood in the hearts of many people.
"Don't blame the old man, it's not easy to live here. ”
Wen Ling smiled and continued to instruct: "Little brother go out, ask Su Niang for the old man, does she remember Wen Ling? If she says she doesn't remember, this jade pendant will be regarded as the old man's apology to the two little brothers, if she says she remembers, this jade pendant will be given to her, and she will forget Wen Ling." ”
Xu Feng put away the jade pendant and solemnly agreed.
The white picturesque eye circles are a little red, among the three, he knows how high-spirited Wen Ling was back then, and the world evaluates Wen Ling as the first person in the sect that year, not because the sloppy old man has the highest cultivation, but because the fireworks on the young man's body were the strongest.
For his friends, he doesn't care about life and death, he doesn't care about gains and losses, and he can also throw his head and spill blood for the ordinary people under the mountain.
Back then, this sloppy old man who was greedy for life and afraid of death was willing to die with him when he responded to every call in the sect.
Time has passed, and the young man of the past still wants to see her in his heart again.
It's really hard and painful to live for the sake of living.
After explaining all this, Wen Ling changed his decadent atmosphere, suddenly got up, and faced the sun. At this moment, the sloppy old man seemed to have found the feeling of the past.
"The old man's time is short, and it is destined to meet three little friends. ”
After that, Wen Ling took out two books, one for Situ Yu and one for Bai Ruhua.
He said: "Situ Xiaoyou has a lot of talisman pills refined by me in Ziyu Mountain, this "Emperor Dao Dan Sutra" is the essence of the Ziyu Mountain pill talisman, and the formation is also involved, now it is handed over to you, you must study it carefully." White girl, your swordsmanship is superb, this "Imperial Sword Duel" is the heart of a kendo minister's predecessor, if you study it thoroughly, you will become a great weapon. ”
"Thank you, senior. ”
Bai Ruhua was overjoyed, and gratefully bowed to Wen Ling.
Situ Yu was holding the book in his hand, with a complicated expression, not knowing what to do.
Wen Ling suddenly smiled evilly: "This is the treasure of Ziyu Mountain, once you go out, it is estimated that many people will trouble you kid." ”
Situ looked stunned, and then showed a wry smile, he knew that the old man was teasing him.
Wen Ling patted Situ Yu on the shoulder, but he looked at Xu Feng and Bai Ruhua, and said: "Young people should cherish the people in front of them, don't be like the old man, he didn't care about it back then, but he regretted it when he lost it." ”
Situ Yu said: "Old man Wen, after we go out, we will definitely save you from the predicament." ”
Wen Ling shook his head and didn't answer, he looked at Xu Feng and said, "As for Xiaoyou, the old man saw that you have cultivated a mystical technique, and you have a primordial substance, and you have a deep fortune, so Lao Tzu really has nothing to give you." ”
Xu Feng said, "Can I ask you something?"
Wen Ling nodded, sat cross-legged, and said, "Little friend, just ask, the old man has nothing to say." ”
Xu Feng asked, "Have you heard of a family surnamed Xu in Hojing, or do you know about the deserted house in the south of the city?"
Wen Ling said: "The old man also lives in Haojing for a long time, and there are many people surnamed Xu. As for the deserted house in the south of the city, it is unheard of. ”
"Deserted house in the south of the city!"
Bai Ruhua was shocked and said: "Brother Xu, it's okay to talk about that place here, don't mention it after you go out, it's a taboo for the Son of Heaven and a place outside the law." ”
She is the illegitimate daughter of the imperial historian Bai Qingshan, and her mother was hidden in the south of the city by her father, and she has a lively temperament since she was a child.
When I was a child, I was ignorant, and once I passed by and stayed at the door of the deserted house for a while, and my father, who had always been amiable, beat her that time. Later, when I grew up, I became more aware that the deserted house in the south of the city was taboo.
Then, by chance, Bai Ruhua got a predecessor's legacy exercises, and embarked on the road of cultivation, this time to participate in the Tianji Pavilion trial, just to fight for his mother.
Situ Yu pointed at Xu Feng triumphantly and said, "See, my brother Xu Feng, the owner of the deserted house in the south of the city." ”
Bai Ruhua scoffed, "Are you kidding?"
Situ patted his chest and swore an oath, "If you don't believe it, my son will take you for a tour after you go out." ”
"You are full of rhetoric like a child, it's okay to deceive a little girl who doesn't know the world, but it's far from trying to deceive Miss Ben. ”
Bai Ruhua raised his head like a proud swan. He despises a rich and noble boy like Situ Yu the most.
"I want to quarrel and go out to quarrel. ”
Situ Yu was not convinced by being squeezed by a little girl, and was about to fight back but was stopped by Xu Feng, so he had to give up, but glared at the little girl fiercely.
Bai Ruhua was also unconvinced and glared back, but unfortunately she was not a girl in red, and her eyes were invalid.
Wen Ling smiled slightly, "It's really old, this world is not the world that the old man is familiar with." ”
Xu Feng continued: "How much do the seniors still know about the primordial substance?"
Wen Ling hesitated slightly: "When you say this, the old man remembers one thing. At that time, the Great Zhou Dynasty and the sect seemed to be plotting a major event, which seemed to be related to the original substance, although the old man was known as the first person in the sect, after all, he was a junior, and his personality was dissolute, and many things were unknown. ”
"There is still cooperation between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the sect?"
Situ Yu was curious, Da Zhou nominally controlled the monks of the Three Mountains, and his face and heart were not in harmony, and both sides had scruples, but one mountain and one mountain down, for many years, they had been peaceful.
Wen Ling said: "The old man only heard that since then, he has come to the Wufu Sea, and he doesn't know a lot of things. The Great Zhou needs the sect to fight against the demon clan, and the sect also does not dare to provoke the Great Zhou, because the Great Zhou royal family has a treasure, the Heavenly Machine Wheel of Life, and the Tianji Pavilion is also named after it, both sides have containment, as long as there are interests, cooperation is reasonable. ”
Xu Feng said: "I have never heard of a treasure in Da Zhou. ”
Situ Yu was suspicious: "Even I don't know, Old Man Wen shouldn't be that you are old and have a wrong memory." ”
Bai Ruhua also nodded, this time agreeing with Situ Yu's statement.
Wen Ling leaned back against the wall to find a comfortable posture and said, "If the Great Zhou has no background, why should he control the sect monks." Is the Son of Heaven prestigious? Tianji Pavilion has existed since the day of the Great Zhou, and they used to tacit each other, but when today's son is strong, he puts Tianji Pavilion on the bright side, and unscrupulously recruits talents, but the sect is silent. Why? Isn't it because of that treasure?"
Xu Feng asked, "What kind of treasure is that?" ”
Wen Ling said: "I don't even know the dolls you have selected in the Tianji Pavilion these days, how can the old man and the monk of Ziyu Mountain know." It is said that the Heavenly Wheel of Life can spy on the Heavenly Machine, and decide the life and death of people, and the truth is unknown. ”
"Spy on the heavens, decide life and death!"
Xu Feng was taken aback, wouldn't he be able to kill anyone who didn't like him?
"Xu Feng come out!"
Suddenly, a voice pierced the quiet Sin City, and Zhao Tianyuan stood on the top of the city wall with a spear in his hand, his eyes were like thunder and lightning, and everything in the city was in full view.
