(344), My Messenger
~
That's right, in fact, it has been passed down for hundreds of years, almost the same life as the national fortune of the previous dynasty, but it has not accumulated much fame in the world. When a disciple of the same generation sees something of this significance, he or she receives the message of the same disciple that the object represents.
Just like the ordinary-looking wooden block that Cen Chi showed in front of Xixin before, only in the minds of his generation of Beili heirs, can he parse the shadow of the forest cedar from the lifeless wooden block. Only Xixin, who is Lin Shan's senior brother, and his junior brother Cen Chi, when they see this extremely ordinary wooden block, can instantly know what this wood represents, and what Lin Shan's meaning is to this world.
At this moment, the broken bamboo stick in Xixin's hand has the same approximate meaning as the wooden block. However, the meanings of these two are somewhat different after specific analysis.
If Lin Shan's strong strength in civil engineering has rendered the wood he carries with him an extraordinary significance, then the real strength of Xixin is in the area of personal connections.
The half of the bamboo skewer that Xixin handed over to Cen Chi was about to play a role, similar to picking up a thin needle at one end of the thread.
Next, just wait for Cen Chi to use this token of bamboo stick texture as a power guide to straighten this human connection, and the people who have staggered but have never departed from this thread will appear one by one, more or less help Cen Chi to do something, until he completes the task to complete this time to provoke the thread.
However, when Xixin used it as an introduction and said the name of the first person who would help Cen Chi, Cen Chi couldn't help but be a little surprised. This person's name can be regarded as spanning three generations among the lineage of the master. The collateral outside of the collateral is out. If it weren't for Xi Xin's brief mention of this person's connection in the division, he might not have known that among the heirs of the Beili faction, there was such a person as zài.
"I really can't imagine that Fang Wu is actually a disciple of the Northern Fence who has been passed down from the generation of Uncle Shi." Cen Chi couldn't help but sigh, "We've met a few times in the Prime Minister's Mansion a long time ago, and I didn't see it at all, but he didn't seem to recognize me either." ”
Xi Xin smiled and said: "Although Uncle Shi is the twentieth generation ion inheritor of the Northern Fence, his disciples and grandsons are actually not completely disciples of the Northern Fence, at most they can be regarded as having some connections with the sect. Just like our uncle who has been in the north for more than 20 years. Although he defeated our master in the sect competition and inherited the twenty-first generation of ions, the twenty-second generation of the heirs of our Beili family can only be selected from among the disciples taught by the master. The heirs of Uncle Shi can no longer have a direct relationship with the sect. ”
When it came to that uncle, Cen Chi would naturally think of some of the things he had done, and not only did he not have a good impression of the elders in that sect in his heart. I also had evil thoughts. This trace of evil thought was linked to what Xi Xin said just now, which made him imagine a possibility in his heart, and the expression on his face was strange, but he didn't notice anything himself.
He just glanced at Xi Xin, endured it, and finally didn't say that idea.
Xi Xin's mind was clear, where would he miss seeing the strange look on Cen Chi's face. Perhaps because the parting was imminent, Xixin didn't sink the doubts in his heart anymore, and asked softly, "What else do you not understand?" Let's just say it. ”
Cen Chi realized that his senior brother was very observant, but he didn't completely tell the truth about the idea that came to him just now, but after hesitating for a while, he said lightly: "Forget it, Senior Uncle Hongdao, it's actually not bad for you." ”
The thought in Xi's mind turned around, and he immediately understood the meaning of his words. said with a light smile: "The meaning of his previous actions is actually not difficult to guess. Let me inherit his Yiqiē, just hoping that I can do for him what he doesn't have time to continue doing. But after all, this is a practice that violates the rules of the sect, and every qiē resource in the hands of Ion is cultivated and supplied by the sect, and can only be inherited by the next Ion. The North Fence line has been passed down for hundreds of years, and this rule has not changed. However, I also know very well that with my qualifications and Master's choice, I have been denied the possibility of becoming the next ion. ”
At this time, although he said such a clear word, but at this moment he was doing something contrary to these words. He is now transferring the resources possessed by the twenty-first generation of the Ion Heir of the North Fence to the twenty-second generation disciple of the North Fence. However, during this period, the division had not yet determined that Cen Chi was the twenty-second generation of the Ion Holder of the Beili lineage.
In addition, Xixin's words of denying himself faintly contain another layer of meaning. This kind of suggestion is not difficult to detect with the quickness of Cen Chi's mind.
So. After Cen Chi listened to what Xi Xin said, he himself fell into silence again.
Looking at Cen Chi, who fell into silence, Xi Xin said after a moment of silence: "You want to go to him, in fact, I also have this idea, but now I can't do what you do, and I may not know as much news about him as you do, so I have to do as much as I can to help you, my messenger." ”
Cen Chi seemed to remember something when he heard this, and the gaze in his eyes that had been a little frozen moved, and he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "This time I am your messenger, have you prepared anything for me to bring him?" ”
Cen Chi said this, as if he was absolutely confident that he would find Lin Shan in the place where he was going. However, Xixin did not discuss this issue with him, if this trip can be as he wishes, it is equivalent to his own wish, which is naturally the best. If the situation did not come to fruition, of course he would not have poured cold water on his head before his junior brother set off, even if his junior brother did not believe in such a thing as luck.
Xixin only took a slight but long breath, and then said slowly, "I just want to know that he is safe, and that's enough." ”
After a slight pause, he looked at Cen Chi's young face, his eyes gradually became stricter, and he said: "Although I helped you find a few descendants of the same sect ancestor to help you, there are still many difficulties in this trip, and the main gathering point of these difficulties is the hurdle for you to leave the Xiangfu. If it weren't for the fact that you still had to maintain the relationship with the Prime Minister, you wouldn't have to take such a big detour, but you have your own plans, I don't want to interfere with you, and I also believe that you can do it, and now I only pray for you to be smooth. ”
Cen Chi smiled slightly, and only said: "It's man-made." ”
"I know you don't believe in God and don't believe in fate." Xi Xin only had a serious look on his face when he spoke, "I heard that you have been sick a few days ago, and this time you are going to use that kind of thing...... You...... I'm a little worried, so let's be careful. ”
When Cen Chi heard this, his mood became very complicated for a moment. After a moment of silence, he smiled, but didn't say anything, just nodded as seriously as Xi Xin.
Xixin sat cross-legged, resting on his lap casually, and paused, twisting his hand unhurriedly, he stood up from the futon, and said, "It's still early, but you've stayed here long enough, it's time to go back." ”
Thinking that he was about to say goodbye to his elder brother like a sibling brother, and returned to the deep mansion compound where he had no attachment in the past, and now he still had a trace of disgust with him, Cen Chi's eyes couldn't help but show a sense of irritability.
But he did not let his mood become bad and soon got up from the futon.
Looking at the back of Xi Xin turning around and walking towards the low case in the corner, when he put down the string of Buddhist beads hanging between his thumb and index finger, and then turned around, Cen Chi finally couldn't help but ask: "Senior brother, those people in the same sect you know, no matter what, are all given by Uncle Hongdao. Now that you use them, will it make Uncle Hongdao sniff out something? ”
Xixin smiled and said, "You're too worried." ”
His complexion was gentle, but before he smiled, the strange look in his eyes did not escape Cen Chi's keen and subtle attention.
So Cen Chi didn't pay attention to Xi Xin's understated four words, but he didn't let his temperament argue anything immediately, just shrunk his brows and said slowly: "Like the incident that Uncle Hongdao did a few years ago, if it happens to you again, I don't have the confidence that I can save you like Senior Brother Lin." ”
After a slight pause, he added with a little hesitation: "Just look at what you inherited from Uncle Hongdao, not to mention whether this is in line with the rules of the master's sect, in short, it is not difficult to see that he attaches great importance to you." Then you chose to leave him, and now he must be very angry. If he were given another chance to take you, I don't think he would do anything to hurt you. And if things really develop in that direction, even if I can join forces with Senior Brother Lin, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to save you. ”
Cen Chi said a lot, but Xi Xin only spoke calmly and said, "You don't have to worry about this. ”
"It's been a long time since I left the Northern Kingdom, and if Uncle Hongdao wants to look for me, he should have taken action as early as when I contacted those fellow disciples. However, there seems to be little movement on his side all this time. ”
After a moment of hesitation, he continued: "These people I can contact now are naturally after the past few years of operation after I returned to China, although their whereabouts were first passed on to me by Uncle Hongdao, but now the connection between these people and Uncle Hongdao has also faded, this is the result of my screening." Although they are not the inheritors of the ion, nor are they the disciples of the Northern Fence lineage, they also have the freedom to choose the kingdom they are loyal to. ”
The meaning of Xixin's words is clear, and this interpretation contains more than a single meaning.
