270. Determination
This night is destined to make Ji Chang, who is so excited, that he can't sleep.
Because, in his tribe, there is a genius rarely seen in the world. And this genius turned out to be his grandson who reunited after a long absence!
After sending Xia Gui away, the little old man actually took out the old wine with great interest, and started a late-night toast with his second son Ji Fa.
This kind of joy is no less than the mood he felt when he met Jiang Lao Jiang Ziya that day.
Under the clear moonlight, Xia Gui walked out of the camp.
A cold wind blew his mind a little.
The loud praise of his grandfather and uncle just now almost didn't make him fly lightly. This level of praise seems to have only been given once by the father without reservation when the purple veins of the Southern Wilderness Kingdom had just opened the purple vein.
Of course, the last praise has moisture, and the source of its moisture is to add a halo of family affection. And this time, compared to the praise that time, it is obviously genuine and heartfelt.
Thinking of this, Xia Gui suddenly felt a little sad. If your parents were around at the moment, they would be proud. How he longed to see his mother's gentle face, how he longed to hear his father's encouraging praise.
"Father...... The queen mother ......" Xia Gui clenched his fists and vowed to find them.
The clear moonlight shone on the earth, and Xia Gui's figure was stretched long, quietly projected on the uninhabited camp.
"Teacher. Xia Gui said softly.
Boudin said: "Yes." ”
Xia Gui screamed, but he didn't say anything else.
Budan said: "What are you in a daze? There is a huge backer from the sky, and you are so excited that you can't speak?"
Xia Gui smiled bitterly, "How can there be any backing." In the past, in the Southern Wilderness Country, relying on an entire Fang Country, it was not reliable. ”
"But this is Xiqi......" Boudin said.
Xiqi is the land of the three major princes, and in terms of strength, it is several times stronger than the Southern Wilderness.
"Teacher, do you think they are telling the truth?" Xia Gui asked.
"What?" said Boudin.
"Xibohou is my grandfather, and King Wu is my uncle. Xia Guidao.
Budan said: "You don't know about this, and the old man doesn't know it either." If you ask the old man if the dark forces are real, the old man can tell you that eighty percent of them are true, and they are more powerful than you think. But if you want to ask Xibohou if he is your grandfather, I suggest you ask your mother. ”
Xia Gui smiled bitterly, what the teacher said was in vain.
But in the end, it's too stupid to ask yourself, how can you ask others about your own family affairs?
Boudin said, "But...... The old man thinks that he shouldn't lie to you. You are a poor boy whose family and country have been shattered, is there anything worthy of others' covetousness? The only thing you are proud of is your self-cultivation and potential. But they don't know your potential and talent until they recognize you. What's more, isn't that the sugar gourd you are talking about, right? Have you told anyone else about the sugar gourd?"
"Only my mother and I know. Xia Guidao.
Boudin said: "Unless your mother tells someone else, or the old man who bought the sugar gourd tells someone else." But I don't think it's possible, because the other party is acting like he's here to help you. ”
Xia Gui nodded.
No matter from the motive or the traces of the relationship, the other party has no reason to deceive automatically.
"I didn't expect to find my grandfather here......" Xia Gui had a smile in the corner of his eyes.
The feeling of being in a foreign country and meeting an old acquaintance is undoubtedly happy. And the old acquaintance I met turned out to be a close relative, which made this feeling even better.
He was once ruined and exiled, but he suddenly began to look forward to a reunion in the future.
"Teacher, I didn't tell them that my father and queen mother were still alive. Xia Guidao.
Boudin said: "You don't have to say it, they can guess it themselves." The old man is really ...... Hey, I'm blind, but I didn't see the queen's identity as a tenth-order spirit array master. ”
Boudin nagged a few words, but he didn't complain about himself.
To know the strength of the tenth-order spirit array master, it is very mysterious. Even if Budan himself was an eighth-order spirit array master, facing a tenth-order spirit array master who wanted to hide his strength, as long as he didn't pay attention to it, it would be difficult to detect the identity of the other party.
"I'm also kept in the dark. The queen mother must have some reason to do this...... Xia Gui said.
"Your grandfather's speculation is not far from ten, she should have been coerced by the forces of the deep darkness. If that's the case, it's troublesome......" Boudin sighed, not optimistic.
Xia Gui's heart sank, he knew what Budan was worried about.
If the forces behind Ji Chan are just superficial families, then it is not easy for these families to completely control her.
But if the forces behind Ji Chan are those deep dark forces that have never seen the light of day in legends, then it is indeed troublesome.
"Why does the Queen Mother have anything to do with these forces?" Xia Gui frowned.
Boudin said: "It may be that the forces have found her." After all, your mother is a tenth-order spirit array master, and she has a huge use value. ”
Xia Gui nodded, maybe Boudin's guess was correct.
If there is such a powerful force behind Ji Chan, then her current situation may not be optimistic.
Xia Gui clenched his fists with a "pop", and he said in a low voice: "I must find the queen mother as soon as possible!"
Boudin said, "So, have you decided to go to the Chaoge Academy?"
"Yes. As long as my grandfather helps me deliver a letter of recommendation, I believe that it will not be difficult to infiltrate the Chaoge Academy. Xia Guidao.
Boudin said, "It seems that you are going to follow your mother's old path. “
Xia Gui smiled, he raised his head, and just saw a meteor in the sky. He suddenly remembered what his mother had told him, when he saw a meteor, he must make a wish, because the wish he made at this time will definitely come true.
So, Xia Gui silently made a wish for a "family reunion" in his heart, and then watched the meteor quickly fall into the horizon.
Budan said: "Although I don't know how many clues there are in the Chaoge Academy, the old man can clearly tell you that it is absolutely necessary to go to the Chaoge Academy to study and practice. The Chaoge Academy is rich in resources, and some bounty quests will be released regularly, so you can keep an eye out for them and exchange them for the materials of the third seal as soon as possible. At the same time, the old man will also guide you on how to enter the practice of the Colorful Lotus. As long as you have three cycles of cultivation time, you will inevitably become a fifth-order spirit array master, and at that time, you will be able to open the teleportation array and track the whereabouts of your mother. ”
Xia Guidao: "Teacher, you even know the colorful Baolian of Chaoge Academy, and you are really knowledgeable." ”
Budan said with a smile: "The old man is also an elder of Xingluo Island, right? If you don't even know the Colorful Lotus, then you will really be blind in this life." ”
Tickled by Budan's words, Xia Gui couldn't help but rub his hands, it seemed that the days of Chaoge Academy were quite promising.
"Yes, yes, I will rely on the teacher to take care of me in the future. Xia Gui smiled.
Boudin said with a smile: "The old man also has two old friends in the Chaoge Academy, and he will visit them at that time. Ah, by the way, isn't that little lady also in the Chaoge Academy?"
Xia Gui pretended to be confused and said, "Which one?"
Boudin said: "You still ask me which one, be careful with your head." ”
Thinking of that cold and gentle gaze, the corners of Xia Gui's mouth once again hooked up a smile, and his gaze also fell to the far east.
In the corresponding direction, a light rose to the sky, and it seemed to be brightly lit and singing every night.
There, it should be the legendary city that never sleeps - Chaoge.
There is no desolate northwest wind in Xiqi, and there is no long-term barren Loess Plateau.
There are some prosperous, some noisy, and some singing and dancing, prosperous Chang'an.
However, is this really the heyday of big business?
Emperor Xin, the unparalleled and mixed emperor, may not know that under his rule, countless kingdoms and tribes are being shrouded in war and panic. One tribe after another disappeared, a tributary bandit appeared, and slaves were martyred...... The prosperous Chaoge may not be able to suppress it, and the fragility and turmoil hiding behind this war-torn continent may not be able to suppress it.
