Chapter 64: Xuantian
[Chapter 64 Xuantian] The past is an old thing
Ten days is a long time, and a short time.
On the eighth day, Duan Yao had actually learned all the moves and routines, and the old man also said, as long as he went back to logistics and practice, and then pondered it carefully, with this extraordinary comprehension talent, he could understand the entire set of kung fu in as little as two years or as fast as a year, and he would not have to come back in the future.
It's just that on the ninth day, Duan Yao still came to the door on time, and he still carried some food in his hand.
The old man looked up in front of the chessboard in a daze, saw who it was, and waved his hand: "I don't have anything to teach you anymore." ā
"I'm not here to learn kung fu." Duan Yao sat across from him, "Although the master doesn't let me recognize other masters, my predecessors have taught me a set of internal strength and mental methods, and I should always say thank you." ā
"It's fine." The old man smiled rarely, "When are you going to go back to the southwest?" ā
"The day after tomorrow." Duan Yao opened the food box and went to the house to make a pot of tea.
The old man looked at the dishes and shook his head: "It must have cost a lot of silver." ā
Duan Yao held her breath and said, "Hmm." ā
"In the future, if you go to the rivers and lakes, you can't cry your nose from time to time." The old man picked up a bowl of fish ball noodles and chewed hard, "You little doll, everything is fine, and this point must be changed." ā
"Senpai." Duan Yao said, "I'll find a doctor for you." ā
The old man still shook his head: "When I live to my age, it's almost time to go." Although the people in this palace are kind, they also have their own things to be busy, and I have been here for nearly ten years, and I have to eat and wear every day. Spending money and effort on the doctor to take medicine, even if the candle is burned for a few more years, what is the use? ā
Duan Yaojian yƬ: "Why don't you go back to the southwest mansion together?" It's more crowded and more lively. ā
The old man laughed: "Silly boy, I was wrong just now, your kind heart is not suitable for mixing in the rivers and lakes, and it is almost the same as your brother." ā
Duan Yao pursed his mouth.
"There are too many poor old men in this world, and you can't manage them." The old man said, "It's better to go back to the southwest quickly and accompany your brother." ā
Duan Yao nodded, didn't say anything more, and stayed with him after eating before packing up the dishes and chopsticks and leaving.
The old man watched his back fade away, first laughing, and then remembering what happened when he was young, but he was already in tears.
On the morning of the second day, Duan Yao packed up her little baggage and went to the dormitory.
Chu Yuan was waiting for him to have breakfast together.
After saying that they would go to the old man together, the atmosphere at the dinner table was naturally not as happy as before. Duan Yao lowered her head and took a bite of the bun, drank another sip of gruel, raised her eyes and took a sneaky look.
Chu Yuan smiled: "What's the matter, it's not appetizing, or are you angry with me?" ā
Duan Yao was almost choked.
"If you are upset, just say it." Chu Yuan patted him on the back, "I treat you as my own brother, Xiao Jin has never been so restrained." "If you make him unhappy, I'm afraid that even the house can be demolished.
Duan Yao said: "If I say it, is the emperor willing to listen to it?" ā
Chu Yuan shook his head: "I may not be willing, but if you say it, your heart will be more or less happy." ā
"Then I'll not say anything." Duan Yao muttered.
Chu Yuan picked out a salted egg yolk with chopsticks and felt a little funny.
is clearly a brother, but his temperament is completely different, and he doesn't know how to be taught to be young.
Duan Yao ate this meal extremely slowly.
But no matter how slow it is, there will always be a time to finish eating, swallowing the last bite of the bun, Duan Xiaowang was unwilling, followed behind his sister-in-law, and went to the remote courtyard with his tail.
Liu Dajiong walked the bird back, he was very surprised after seeing it from afar, and after thinking about it for a long time, he said that the emperor was going to detain people and make quality unsuccessful, but if he tried to find it carefully, it was not very similar, they all said that the little prince was strong in martial arts, and he was extremely willful, and he demolished the house with his bare hands, and even the old Duan Wang couldn't manage it, and the southwest king often had a headache for this, and the emperor should not be so self-troubled.
For this kind of thing, you have to ask Lao Tao.
In the small courtyard, the old man was still basking in the sun, but there were no chess pieces on the chessboard in front of him. I changed into new clothes, my hair was neatly combed, and my face was rarely a little bloody.
"Senpai." Duan Yao's heart was weak.
"And you'll come earlier." There was no surprise on the old man's face, "The old man sees the emperor." ā
Duan Yao was surprised: "Seniors know that we are coming?" ā
"I didn't know before, but I guessed it yesterday." The old man said, "The food boxes sent are all snacks that are only available on the southeast coast, and it is not easy to find them in this Yunde City. If I hadn't guessed something, why bother so hard just to give me a taste of home. ā
Duan Yao: "......"
"From the first day I taught you, I said that a good heart is a good thing, but it is not necessarily a good thing." The old man said, "If I really want to leave, after eating that meal, I will find a way to leave this palace, won't you run in vain today?" ā
Duan Yao honestly lowered his head.
Chu Yuan said: "I really shouldn't disturb the tranquility of my predecessors. But there are some things I have to ask. ā
The old man nodded: "Your Majesty, please speak." ā
Chu Yuan went straight into the road with a single sword: "Your Excellency is Xuantian? ā
Duan Yao was surprised.
The old man nodded: "Yes." ā
Duan Yao: "......"
Where did this rumor come from, why didn't you know it at all?!
"It's really a senior." Chu Yuan understood, "No wonder you know so much about the events in the tide cliff and the Burning Star chess game." ā
"It's clear what happened in the tide cliff many years ago." The old man said, "It's been more than ten years since I left there, and I don't know what I'm doing. ā
"The King of the Southwest once told me that his predecessors wanted him to destroy that island." Chu Yuan said, "Why? ā
"Because there's chaos there." The old man sighed, "My ability is limited, I am a mediocre person, but I think very highly of myself, and I have been in a state of confusion for more than ten years, ruining the tribes of the Northern Sect and destroying the entire Chaoya Island." ā
Chu Yuan frowned slightly.
The island is divided into two factions, the north and the south, the south and the sea to make a living, which should have been interdependent. But later, the southern faction relied on a few fists and kicks, and wanted to annex the northern faction as well. At that time, the leader of the northern faction was Xuantian's father, and in order to compete with the southern faction, he hid his eight-year-old son in a wooden barrel, sent him to a merchant ship to go to sea, and went to another island to learn art.
Xuantian was extremely talented, and he was able to defeat all his senior brothers in his teens, and then followed another ship to the Chu State and worshiped an even more powerful master. Coupled with a copy of the martial arts cheats that his father stole from the Southern Sect and passed down from the ancestors of Chaoya, he became a top master in his early twenties - but he didn't show the mountain dew on weekdays, and no one knew about it.
"After completing my studies, I returned to Chaoya Island and led the Northern Faction to regain its strength and take back what I had lost." Xuantian said, "It's just that no matter how good your kung fu is, you can't eat or wear, so it's been another twenty or thirty years." Later, the egrets of the southern faction went to sea to look for food, colluded with the Nanyang people to go to the island, and slaughtered the northern faction. After I was injured and fell into the sea, I was knocked unconscious by a piece of driftwood, and when I woke up, I was rescued by a merchant shipwreck, and they thought I was an old fisherman who had been shipwrecked, so they took me back to Chu and sent me to a good hall in Da Kuncheng. ā
"Da Kun City is in the southeast, not close to Yunde City." Chu Yuan said.
"Begging all the way, you can stop and go." Xuantian replied.
"Why are you here, for the sake of that old woman from outside the city?" Chu Yuan asked again.
Xuantian's eyes rarely flashed with emotion fluctuations.
"Senior, don't worry, I won't bother that mother-in-law." Chu Yuan said, "It's just a question." ā
Xuantian said: "I owe her too much in this life, but I can't repay it until I die." ā
Chu Yuan said: "That mother-in-law is doing well now. ā
Xuantian nodded: "I know." ā
"So the seniors don't have to worry about it anymore." Chu Yuan sat across from him, "Even if you can't stay together, knowing that the other party is doing well and being able to guard from afar is a blessing." ā
Xuantian said: "What else does the emperor want to know, as long as he doesn't disturb her, just ask." ā
"Where did those Nanyang people who came to the island come from?" Chu Yuan said.
Xuantian shook his head: "I really don't know about this, they are familiar with the mechanism formation, and they are extremely good at making drugs, even if I have a lot of kung fu at the time, I still can't guard against it." ā
Chu Yuan said: "In the eyes of the seniors, what did they go to the island for?" ā
"What else could it be for?" Xuantian said, "Naturally, it is for the rumored jewelry, gold and silver." Yueming Gu is in the hands of the old people of the Northern Sect, but if the old people die, then the last clue that can find the treasure map will be scattered, and what will happen in the future, I can't tell. ā
"The predecessors came to this Beixing Palace more than ten years ago, and I don't know about the Chaoya people entering the palace." Chu Yuan said.
Xuantian said: "I heard the little guy here talk about it. Before I left the Tide Cliff, the Northern Sect had been slaughtered, and the Tide Cliff people who had been in the palace for ten years should all be from the Southern Sect. ā
"But at that time, they planted the Moon Song Gu for me." Chu Yuan said.
Xuantian frowned when he heard this.
Chu Yuan said: "According to what the predecessors said, the Yueming Gu should all be in the hands of the Northern Sect. ā
"Indeed it should be." Xuantian said, "When King Duan first came to ask me, I also wondered about it, but at that time, he also had a lot of Gu worms on him, so I thought that the Gu in the emperor's body was not from the tide cliff. "After all, the rivers and lakes are so big, the Chu country is so big, no one dares to say that only the tide cliff has the moon.
"If it's just me, that's fine." Chu Yuan said, "But a few days ago, a group of Chaoya people also secretly came to the Chu State, and on the way, they had an argument with a person in the rivers and lakes, and the river and lake guest also fell into the Moon Ming Gu. ā
"Tidecliffs?" Xuantian was puzzled, "Why did you come to Chu State secretly?" ā
"The person is still under house arrest in the palace, and I will only be tried when I go back this time." Chu Yuan said, "Senior do you want to go back with me?" It's also good to figure out what has happened on the island in the past ten years. ā
