Chapter Twenty-Three: Last Night's Stars, Last Night's Wind
Nineteen years ago, the North Gate Compound:
"Beixian is over half a hundred years old, old and sick, his ability is not as good as before, the eldest son Beiyan was born blind, and now the second son Beiyi is missing, what face do you Beimen clan have to stand side by side with the other three factions. ”
"Shut up, my brother in the north wing is only temporarily missing, you ignore the past friendship, so aggressive, don't you be afraid that my brother in the north wing will come back to settle accounts with you!"
"Yo, Miss Yue is very angry, but don't forget that you don't have the surname Bei at all, and there is no place for you to speak here!"
Listening to the quarrel outside, Beixian, who was on crutches, sighed silently.
"Old man, do you need my help?" the sudden sound of a child startled Beixian, who looked around vigilantly, but saw no human figure.
"Come to me in the dungeon, I can help you. The voice sounded again, and after searching for the voice, Beixian, trembling on crutches, came to the depths of the dungeon.
There were many charms pasted outside the silver fence of the yin tide, and there was an ancient well sealed by spirit stones in the cell, and the mouth of the ancient well was covered with thick chains. But because of the age, the chains that bound the ancient wellhead have long been rusty, and some places are even about to be corroded and broken, and even the spirit stone itself has grown moss, and there are many cracks unconsciously.
As Beixian looked around, a black shadow emerged from the crack in the ancient wellhead, and a man wearing a crow mask exposed his upper body in front of Beixian. "Beixian, we meet again. You're aging so fast, I don't even recognize you. ”
"Your Excellency?"
"It's sad that you forgot. The man's voice was like that of a child of five or six years old, "We met here in the dungeon, and when you were six or seven years old, I played with you for a long time, and you still call me big brother!"
"You're a black black!" Beixian was taken aback, and hurriedly threw away his crutches to prepare for the suppression.
"Don't be so ruthless, North String. If I say I can bring you back to life, would you make a deal with me?"
Seeing that Beixian was a little hesitant, the man in the crow mask continued, "I'm actually not as bad as recorded in your ancient Taoist books, and the wrong things I did before were just to survive. Now that I have been locked up in this ancient well that has not seen the light of day for tens of thousands of years, I have repented and awakened to the fact that I will no longer risk challenging the authority of your Beimen clan. What's more, you and I don't have any hatred, it's too late for me to like you, so what's the reason to hurt you. ”
"Your Excellency wants me to get you out?"
"More than that," said the man with a smile, "I want you to be my master." ”......
......
"Father, are you awake?" Bei Yan, who was sitting on the side of Beixian's bed, hurriedly handed him a hot towel. "You're sweating, wipe it. ”
"I'm old, I'm useless, and I like to have nightmares to scare myself from time to time. The boy-like Beixian waved his hand helplessly and wiped his immature face with a hot towel, "Why are you here?"
"Dad, I hear your gasps. Knowing you're having nightmares again, I'll come over and get you a hot towel. ”
"You have a heart. Beixian said as he put the towel aside, removed the tea from the bedside table, and took a sip. "Anything else?"
"I had my father buy some young clothes, and although my mother's kaftans were sewn by my mother's own hands, most of them were worn, and my father was too heavy to wear, and it was much easier to change into his usual clothes once in a while. Beiyan said, handing a stack of unopened clothes to Beixian's arms.
"Oh, good. ”
After Beixian finished speaking, he saw Beiyan holding on to the wall and walking out of the door. After Beiyan left, Beixian was thoughtful.
"Master, what are you thinking?" Beixian's voice came from a black voice.
"I suspect that North Rock's eyes can already see. ”
