12. Chapter XII

When Duan Qishan and Duan Zixu heard this, they both looked at Duan Ziqian silently, seeing that he said that he was going to sleep for beauty sleep, but his actions did not look like he was going to sleep at all, only to see him jumping on the bed, twisting his little buttocks happily, holding a bronze mirror in his hand, and sighing while watching.

It was narcissistic to the extreme.

And Duan Ziqian seemed to notice that someone was staring at him, so he also turned his head, raised his eyebrows very wickedly, and said: "I know you love my beauty, but it's useless, it's innate, what is that word called, born upright...... You can't envy it. ”

That word is called natural beauty.

The corners of Duan Zixu and Duan Qishan's mouths twitched and complained inwardly.

Duan Zixu didn't bother to take care of this person, turned his head expressionlessly, looked at the tea on the table, and seemed to be counting the tea leaves in it very seriously.

Duan Qishan, on the other hand, rolled his eyes a little stiffly, returned to the topic, and said, "That's probably it." ”

When Duan Zixu heard this, he frowned and said, "Daddy means that my mother didn't die, but left ...... by herself."

He muttered the word leaving, his expression was a little worried, Duan Qishan naturally saw that he was unhappy, so he shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be indifferent and explained: "Actually, it may also be your mother, Yu'er, he has something to do, so he will leave." ”

Duan Qishan said this, but he was still stunned in his heart, he had forgotten a lot of things about Yu'er over the years, and he didn't dare to think about it, and if he thought about it a little, he would turn around and run away to another place.

Duan Qishan also wanted to ask Yu'er, why did she leave? Why look at him like an ant?

Duan Zixu saw that Duan Qishan was silent, thought about it, and said, "Then we can go to find my mother!" ”

His tone was extremely natural, but to Duan Qishan's ears, it was very unreliable.

After all, he didn't even know Yu'er's real name, so how could he find him in the vast sea of people.

Besides, according to his previous guess, Yu'er should not be a member of the Great Qi Dynasty, because just Yu'er's ability and coercion as powerful as a mountain are not something that ordinary people can have.

It looks very much like the immortal skills he has seen under the cliff of Qishan.

Duan Qishan once left Duanjia Village with the purpose of seeking immortals, and he has been gone for more than 20 years, and he has heard a lot about the deeds of immortals, but most of them are not very reliable.

Mortals who want to find immortals ask, one is to find a scenic mountain range, and seek epiphany without eating or drinking in it.

When Duan Qishan first heard about this, he felt very unreliable.

Sure enough, after that, he also saw a lot of people who took this path of cultivating immortals, starving to death in the mountains, and more people were discouraged, taking the things of immortals as a dream when he was young, and when he woke up, he returned to the life of mortals.

Speaking of which, among so many books about cultivating immortals and immortals, only the books of the Imperial Palace are the most trustworthy.

He assisted the current emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty back then, and suppressed the ministers for the teenage little emperor in the southern and northern wars, and in the eyes of the little emperor, he was also a very trusted favored minister, so places like the Royal Library Pavilion, which ordinary people are not allowed to enter, he is also qualified to enter.

And here, he collected some information about mortals seeking immortals.

There are two highly reliable ways to seek immortals written above.

The first is to start from the capital, along the way to the west, all the way to the west, all the way to the twelve barbarian tribes, to the extreme west of the continent, and here is the endless, vast desert area, known as the "devil's land" and "death land" on the mainland.

Once in the pre-Qin period, the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty, who unified the six countries at that time, sent many people to search outside in order to find the way to cultivate immortals.

This road has been walked, but no one has come back alive.

And the other road, which is the same as this road, has a lot of people going, but no one survives.

And this road is very famous in the records, that is, the story of Xu Fu crossing the ocean to find Penglai Xiandao, which is very well-known among the people.

At the beginning, Duan Qishan also pondered for a long time, but when he got older, he gave up the idea of looking for immortals when he saw that the people were living miserably.

However, in the southern and northern wars, every time he encountered a water battle, he would pay special attention to the problem of ships and wind direction, it seems that the idea of the year still took root in his heart, so he subconsciously collected a way to cross the ocean.

Duan Qishan thought of this, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that Duan Zixu had been staring at him for a long time.

Duan Qishan was a little embarrassed, coughed a few times, and said, "Xu'er, what's wrong?" ”

Duan Zixu looked at him very seriously and said, "Daddy, I haven't told you a thing before, not because I want to hide it from you, but because I don't know how to speak." ”

As he spoke, he studied the expression on Duan Qishan's face, but seeing that Duan Qishan didn't even move his eyebrows, he said a little dejectedly: "Daddy, let me play the role of a master in the world......

When Duan Qishan heard this, he almost choked to death with his own saliva.

Fortunately, he's used to it, really.

Duan Ziqian didn't say anything, that little guy could jump out of anything.

And Duan Zixu's temperament also has a tendency in this regard, but it is not very obvious, but it will come from time to time, which catches Duan Qishan off guard.

Duan Qishan raised his hand helplessly, touched Duan Zixu's hair, and said, "Okay, it's not good for Daddy, but Daddy is really curious, what are you hiding from me?" ”

Duan Zixu raised his chin with satisfaction, although this action was not obvious, it could be seen that he was in the same vein as Duan Ziqian.

I only heard Duan Zixu say: "Daddy, when I had a fever before, I could vaguely see some strange things, which appeared in my mind inexplicably, I can't remember all of them, but I remember some of them." ”

He wrinkled his nose and asked an irrelevant question, "Daddy, is there really a Fuxi with a dragon body and a human head and a mouth in this world?" ”

Duan Qishan didn't know why he asked this question, but Fuxi and Nuwa are the traditional myths of the Great Qi Dynasty, and they have been circulating on this road for an unknown number of years, and he once told the story about Fuxi and Nuwa when the two little ones were young, but why did Duan Zixu mention Fuxi?

Duan Qishan couldn't figure it out, but he only thought that Duan Zixu was thinking nonsense, so he didn't ask much, and only replied honestly: "No, it's just a myth and legend, it is the totem worship of people in ancient times, and it has gradually evolved into a catchy story, which has been passed down from generation to generation, but in fact, there is no such creature." ”

When Duan Zixu heard this, he was very unconvinced and said: "Then my brother and I still looked like that before, I think there must be Fuxi's storage, and I also think that my previous horns, skin, and tail are a bit similar to Fuxi." Maybe you're a descendant of Fuxi, Daddy, so my brother and I look very strange, and we're very smart, but I've seen children in the village, and they're still wetting the bed when they're so old......"

When Duan Qishan heard this, he said with a smile: "What are you trying to write in your brain, although I am born with divine power, but that's it, I don't have the body of a dragon, at most I have a human head." That's it...... What more do you ask? If it's okay, go to sleep, I've been sick for a long time, although it seems to be getting better, but in the end I'm weak, and then go take a break to replenish my vitality. ”

When Duan Zixu heard this, he was even more unconvinced, but he also knew that no one could change what his father had decided.

So, he chose to keep this matter in his heart, and planned to think about it slowly later.

He caught a glimpse of Duan Qishan stretching his waist, and hurriedly asked, "Daddy, is there a surname 'Shentu' in this world?" ”

Duan Qishan tilted his head and thought for a while before saying: "I remember that there is, it is said that it came from the pre-Qin period, and the people at that time took the country name "Shen" and the place name "Tu" together as their surname, so they had the surname 'Shentu', but the compound surname of Shentu was extremely rare in the Great Qi Dynasty, and I have never seen the surname Shentu. ”

After he recalled, he asked, "Why do you ask that?" What exactly did you see written, could it be a dream? ”

Duan Zixu pouted and could hang the oil pot, but he was serious, and actually said with a bad smile: "Oh, maybe, I just vaguely knew that my mother's surname was Shentu, but what my father said was right, maybe I was dreaming!" Daddy, I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep. ”

Duan Qishan was stunned for a moment before nodding.

When Duan Zixu and Duan Ziqian's steady breathing resounded in the silent night, he chewed a word carefully: "Shentu...... Yu'er ......"
