Chapter 41: The Past of the Year
Hearing the name of the drunken student, Yan Lie was not surprised.
"In this way, this is not what your Pavilion Master meant, you did it yourself in private, right?" she boldly guessed, "Otherwise, wouldn't it be a good thing for your Pavilion Master to do this?"
"I did it myself. Yan Lie's back suddenly straightened, and he said word by word, "But it's not stealing, I'm just getting back what I deserve." ”
Her eyes were slightly condensed, there were confusions and surprises, and before she could ask, Yan Lie seemed to have suddenly found an outlet.
"I didn't want to mention this matter again, but the secret that Zhuge asked me was related to this matter, and now he promised to take out the yin and yang flowers for the two of us, so since this matter will be said sooner or later, it doesn't hurt to say it to you now. ”
After saying this, he paused for a while, not knowing whether he was thinking about what to say or sorting out his thoughts.
She didn't bother, quietly waiting for him to speak.
After a while, Yan Lie slowly raised his head.
There was no light in the room, and in the darkness, his voice was a little careless.
"In terms of blood, Yongshi is my biological father. ”
Hearing this answer at first glance, Bang Xi's heart was shocked, because she remembered Yan Lie's dream world.
What flashed in front of me was the face of the silver-haired boy in the dream, so dirty and swollen that it was impossible to see the beautiful lines underneath.
If everything in the dream world has ever happened, then where was Yongshi, as the head of the clan and Yan Lie's biological father, when Yan Lie experienced those injustices?
"You don't have to look at me like that. Yan Lie said, his tone indifferent, "The sympathy and pity of others is the last thing I need, if I didn't have that experience, I wouldn't be where I am now." ”
"Why did they do that to you?" Bang Xi couldn't understand what those people in Ming Wanggu were doing.
"Because I was born different from them. Yan Lie tilted his face slightly, and the silver hair that was scattered over his shoulders also poured down, like a flowing waterfall.
"Among the hundred birds, the peacock is the most beautiful, with colorful feathers and dazzling eyes, and I, as soon as I was born, my whole body is gray and unsightly, and even my midwife does not want to look at me twice. ”
"Yongshi didn't want me at that time, but fortunately my mother tried her best to protect me, but since then, my people have regarded me as a disaster star, and my mother has also been burdened by me, and her life in the valley is extremely difficult. ”
It is understandable that he is disliked, but how can a kind and soft person like his mother ignore her when she is sick?
Therefore, except for the indelible blood relationship, in any other matter, he will not recognize Yongshi's identity.
Yongshi and he fell in love? That's the most ridiculous.
"It wasn't until you saw in my dream world that after my mother died of illness, this helpless life changed, and my life finally ushered in a earth-shaking turn. Yan Lie continued.
This twist, Wan Xi faintly had a thought, it must be related to the pavilion master they always mentioned.
Sure enough, Yan Lie's voice gradually added a hint of respect.
"In the second year after my mother's death, I finally managed to escape from the Ming King Valley, and after half a year of exile in the world, I met my lifelong benefactor, the pavilion master of Changming Pavilion, who took me in and taught me a skill, so that I would not be bullied by anyone. ”
He was only about five years old that year, and it seems that he is far away from now, but in retrospect, his memories are like rice paper that never yellows, and everything is still vivid.
In the middle of winter that year, when the snow was falling and it was too cold, the man gave him a warm hand.
From then on, there was nothing to repay except for his life. ”
"For your Pavilion Master, maybe it's just a gesture of his hand. She said that she had never experienced Yan Lie's situation and did not have such strong emotions as he did, so she could not judge whether his decision was prudent or not.
"It's okay, it's enough for me to care. What Yan Lie's eyes hid deep in was the darkness that she couldn't read.
She frowned, "Even if he asks you to do bad things, are you going to do it?"
"As long as that's what he wants. "Then he will be the sharpest dagger in the hands of the Pavilion Master without hesitation.
He opened his mouth, but finally closed it slowly.
When she was in Sanshen Mountain, the Great Elder said to her the word "faith", which means that people's faith is nothing more than perseverance, like her father's pursuit of the emperor's medicine and never returning, or as if she took this burden and bravely stepped into the world.
Maybe that Changming Pavilion Master is Yan Lie's belief.
I didn't want to continue this slightly heavy topic, so I pulled the topic back to the original place and tried to make the atmosphere more relaxed.
"You haven't told me why you took away a branch of the Blood Sycamore. ”
Legend has it that the peacock is one of the nine sons of the phoenix, and the phoenix likes to perch on the sycamore, and the peacock is no exception. "Yan Lie's patience seems to be particularly good tonight, knowing everything, "The Blood Sycamore is the treasure of the Ming King Valley, tall and straight, and every direct bloodline can get a branch to perch on when they become adults." ”
That's why he said he was just taking back what he deserved.
Bang Xi imagined it for a moment, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Isn't that blood sycamore very big, otherwise how could it inhabit so many clansmen?"
"It's just a symbol. Yan Lie said lightly, "Ming Wang Gu is known as the descendant of the Peacock Ming King, but the bloodline is thinner from generation to generation, and there are very few Peacock Clan people who can still successfully transform after adulthood. ”
"Can you, then?" she asked as he said that.
Unexpectedly, Yan Lie seemed to be displeased when he heard it, and snorted lowly, "I haven't tried." ”
He was reluctant to admit that the dislike of his people had had an effect on him after all, and he had never tried to change back since he was a child and had been able to maintain his human form.
"What about Yongshi?" asked Wan Xi again.
This time, Yan Lie gave a positive answer, "If he can't transform successfully, it is impossible for him to become the patriarch of the Ming King Valley." ”
"That's right. "Hold your head.
After Yan Lie's explanation, she finally understood now why Ming Wanggu was chasing Yan Lie.
Yan Lie said that this blood sycamore is just a symbol, since it is a symbol, there is no real reason to allocate and use it, but Yan Lie didn't say a word, and directly broke off the precious branches and leaves, and brought it out of the Mingwang Valley, no wonder people wanted to chase after him.
"But those people in Mingwang Valley are also a little interesting. Bang Xi remembered the three people who had set up a trap to trap them in the dream world at the beginning, "Elder Dandong forget it, but it is the Zuo Protector and the Yao Clan, who seem to be particularly wrong with you?"
She thought for a moment and then added, "That Left Dharma Protector is the child who took the lead in bullying you in the dream, right?
