Although the old man's voice was very gentle, in Ning Fan's ears, there was still a feeling of a thunderbolt on a sunny day, because this should not be a question that the old man would ask, and the old man should not call him a young man, and this old man's question, and his demeanor, are telling Ning Fan one thing, that is, this old man doesn't know him at all!

This is not the same old way!

In an instant, Ning Fan felt a feeling of coldness from head to foot, cold through his heart, and the disappointment after ecstasy made him almost tremble.

Ning Fan took a few deep breaths in a row, and finally let himself recover from the feeling of falling into an ice cellar, he stared at the old man not far away, the old man's thin figure, that familiar face, were telling him, this is the old way, although he has not seen him for ten years, his appearance looks a little older, but whether it is his appearance, body shape, or even his voice, it is the same as before, and there is no change.

But Ning Fan also saw that something was wrong, not only that the old man in front of him could no longer recognize him, but more importantly, Ning Fan couldn't feel any breath of the Mandate of Heaven on the old man in front of him, and Lao Dao was one of the most powerful Mandate of Heaven in the world, in the past, Ning Fan could feel the breath of the Mandate of Heaven from him, but at that time, Ning Fan didn't know that it was the exclusive breath of the Mandate of Heaven.

In addition, the old man in front of him is actually different from the original dress of Lao Dao, Lao Dao has always been wearing a Taoist robe, but the old man in front of him is wearing a Tang costume.

"Young man, are you Ning Fan?" The old man's gentle voice came into Ning Fan's ears again.

"Old man, I'm Ning Fan." Ning Fan took a deep breath, his tone was very polite, although he was disappointed in his heart, this old man looked exactly like Lao Dao, which was enough for him to maintain a respectful attitude towards this old man.

After a slight pause, Ning Fan asked quite politely, "Old man, may I ask who you are?" ”

"You're finally here." The old man sighed softly, "I've always had some doubts that it wasn't true, but when I finally saw you here today, I realized that it was indeed true." ”

"Old man, who told you to wait for me here?" Ning Fan couldn't help but ask.

Although this old man didn't seem to be an old man, as soon as this old man opened his mouth, he asked his name directly, which made Ning Fan still have a feeling that even if this old man was not an old man, he was likely to have something to do with the old way.

"Young man, if I say that I made myself here waiting for you to appear, would you believe it?" The old man looked at Ning Fan with a somewhat strange expression.

Ning Fan was slightly stunned, and then couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart, could it be that the old man in front of him was actually still an old man?

"Old man, who are you?" Ning Fan couldn't help but ask again.

"Sometimes, I'm not sure who I really am." The old man sighed softly, "Young man, come for a walk with me, it's actually very comfortable to take a walk on the beach in the morning." ”

"Okay." Ning Fan naturally would not refuse the old man's suggestion, and then the two walked slowly along the seaside.

"Before, even if the tide was high here, it wouldn't flood the wooden house." The old man smiled, "At that time, I often lived in the wooden house, until later, the wooden house could not be inhabited, so I moved out, but in the last few months, I have come here every morning, because, a man told me that one day, I will meet a person here, a young man named Ning Fan, and I need to give this young man something. ”

After a pause, the old man continued: "Perhaps, you will find it incredible, in fact, I also find it incredible, because the person who sued me about this should be myself. ”

"You, what are you going to give me?" Ning Fan's tone trembled unconsciously, and he faintly felt that the old man in front of him was the real old man.

"Strictly speaking, it's not really about giving you anything, it's just that there are some things to tell you." The old man's voice was unusually gentle, "Then I, I hope I can tell you something in person, something he would have wanted to tell you in person." ”

"What's the matter?" Ning Fan hurriedly asked.

"Young man, do you really believe what I say?" The old man glanced at Ning Fan and looked slightly surprised, "Don't you really think these things are incredible?" ”

"Old man, I've seen a lot of incredible things." Ning Fan tried to keep himself calm, "I think, you've seen a lot of incredible things before, it's just that you may not remember it anymore. ”

"yes, I really don't remember." The old man sighed, "In my memory, I have always been very ordinary, I am a very ordinary university teacher, I usually like to practice Tai Chi, but just over two months ago, I received a letter, a very long, long letter, when I saw the letter, I found that it was my own handwriting, and in the letter, there were also a lot of things about myself, and these things, just to make me believe, that is indeed the letter I wrote to myself, and then, the most said thing in the letter, is about you." ”

"What about me?" Ning Fan tried to calm himself down, but he couldn't calm down anymore.

"Son, we've lived together, right? I used to have a name called Liu Daochang, and you always called me Lao Dao, and I called you Xiaofan, is that so? The old man finally stopped and looked at Ning Fan with a kind look, and there was a faint sentimentality in his eyes, "Xiao Fan, if that's the case, why don't I remember you at all?" In the letter, I told myself that you are very important to me, but why would I forget such an important person? Why is it that in my memory, there is no such thing as your save? ”

"Old Dao, I also want to know, why did you become like this?" Ning Fan also had a deep sadness in his heart, "It's been ten years, I've been looking for you for ten years, I've always believed that you're still alive, more than two months ago, I received your letter, you had already written a letter to me ten years ago, I thought I could find you right away, and then, it took me more than two months, I finally found you, but, but why, you are not you at all?" ”

There is a kind of sadness, not that he is separated from his relatives by life and death, but that he is in front of you, but he doesn't remember you at all, and now, Ning Fan is suffering from this sadness, and what makes him feel even more sad is how powerful the old Tao used to be, and now, he has become a real ordinary person.

At this moment, Ning Fan already understood that the old man in front of him was the old Tao he had been looking for, but this old way was no longer the old way in the past, and something unexplainable had happened to him.

"Don't be sad, child, the first thing I want to tell you is that we can still meet, and it is already the favor of God." The sadness in Lao Dao's eyes has disappeared, replaced by a kind and kind, "Actually, originally ten years ago, when I left you, I should have completely disappeared from this world, I should have died, but because of you, God has taken special care of me and let me live, I just forget a lot of things, but I am still there, I am still in this world." ”

"Old Dao, do you really think this is God's favor?" Ning Fan clenched his fists slightly, "It's that damn heaven that made you forget about it!" ”

"Actually, I don't know what happened to me, but the former me, in the letter, told me that this is indeed God's favor." Lao Dao continued to walk slowly on the beach, "For more than two months, I actually tried to investigate, but I found that everyone who knew me told me that I had always been a university teacher here, and I had never even left the city, and I had always wondered why other people would be like me, not only did they seem to have amnesia, but also seemed to have completely changed their memory?" ”

Lao Dao's words made Ning Fan's mind flash, and he finally remembered one thing, once Tianyan believed that Tang Xiaohua was destined to die, but after he changed Tang Xiaohua's fate, it seemed that everyone's memories had been changed again, and Tang Xiaohua also directly forgot about his existence and Tianyan.

These two things are so similar, the only difference is that Lao Dao has not only forgotten the past, but his ability has also been deprived, this was once almost the most powerful Mandate of Heaven, and now, he is an ordinary old man.

Perhaps, it was because Lao Dao was originally destined to die ten years ago, and then for some reason he survived, and then, just like Tang Xiaohua, everything that happened before was completely erased and replaced by other things?

Who is it to do such a thing? Could it really be that the so-called God did it?

"Do you believe in fate?" Ning Fan asked suddenly.

"As a university professor, I shouldn't have believed these things, but the other me seems to believe me." Lao Dao smiled, "But the former me, in fact, didn't say a lot of these things in the letter, but there is a sentence, the former one I want to sue you." ”

Ning Fan didn't speak, he knew that Lao Dao's words were not finished, although the current Lao Dao was actually different from the old Dao in the past, but Ning Fan was still unconsciously, treating them as the same person.

But strictly speaking, they are indeed the same person, just like the current Tang Xiaohua, who is still Tang Xiaohua.

Thinking about it this way, Ning Fan's mood was a little better, at least, he could still see Lao Dao now and know that Lao Dao was still alive in this world.

"Xiaofan, your life may not be so easy now, you may also start to feel that many things are destined, but there is one thing, you must remember, even if in this world, everyone's fate is predestined, but you, your fate, is completely determined by yourself, in this world, you are the most special one, you are unique." Old Dao said this sentence in a rather slow pace, and finally, he stopped and stared at Ning Fan, "Remember, you are the one who can decide your own destiny and also reforge the destiny of others, you are the unique one who forges your own destiny!" ”
