Chapter Seventy-One: Ten Years in the Snap of a Finger
Yandang Mountain is in Jiangdong County, the easternmost part of the Chu State, and is only 200 miles away from Gusu City, the capital of the Wu State in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Yandang Mountain, also known as Yanyan and Yanshan. Because there is a lake on the top of the mountain, the reeds are dense, the grass is dangling, and the autumn geese return to the south mostly stay here, so it is called the wild goose.
Bai Qi is in this mountain at the moment, and in addition to Bai Qi, there is also a man in black.
"Who are you?" When Bai Qi opened his eyes and saw that the man in black had been staring at him, he asked.
"You don't have to know who I am, you just need to know who I am?" The man in black turned his back to Bai Qi and replied coldly.
Bai Qi paused for a moment, pondered a little and asked, "My name is Bai Qi, did you save me?" ”
The man in black nodded slightly, still with his back to Bai Qi.
Bai Qi asked again: "Since you saved me, then you are my benefactor, how did you know that I was in danger, and how did you save me?" ”
The man in black seemed to be prepared, and he replied slowly: "I just happened to be passing by, and seeing that you have some talent, I can't bear to sink like this." Do you remember what happened that day? ”
Bai Qi tried to recall the scene of that day, he only remembered that Daqing and Xiaosheng were born, and then he went crazy and killed the evil man, and then he gradually lost his mind, as if he had killed many people.
Thinking of Uncle Daqing and Xiaosheng's death, Bai Qi couldn't help but shed tears of sadness: "It's all my fault, if it weren't for me, Uncle Daqing and Xiaosheng wouldn't have been killed by the bad guys, woo~~~"
The man in black slowly turned around, his expression softened slightly, and he quietly watched Bai Qi sad alone.
"Where is this?" After Bai Qi was sad for a while, he looked at the man in black with a puzzled expression. Since I don't know who he is, I ask something useful.
"This is Yandang Mountain, which belongs to the easternmost part of Jiangdong County of Chu State." Seeing that Bai Qi's complexion had improved slightly, the man in black stood up again and turned his back to Bai Qi.
"Yandang Mountain?" Bai Qi had never heard of the name of Yandang Mountain, but he knew that Jiangdong County originally belonged to the State of Wu, which was later occupied by King Goujian of Yue, and then annexed by the State of Chu.
Jiangdong County is thousands of miles away from the Qin State, and Bai Qi thought of this and stood up anxiously: "Thank you for the benefactor for saving me, but I want to go back to the Mo family, I have to leave here." ”
The man in black stretched out his hand to stop Bai Qi: "From today onwards, within ten years, you will have to practice literature and martial arts in Yandang Mountain." ”
As soon as he heard this, Bai Qi immediately became anxious and hurriedly asked, "Why, no, I have to go." Uncle Li, Aunt Yun, Mo Xie and Mo Yun are all waiting for me at the Mo family, I can't stay here, I want to go back, I want to go back to the Mo family. ”
The man in black still stopped Bai Qi, and Bai Qi turned his head and ran in the opposite direction, but after running a hundred meters, he found that the man in black was already waiting in front. He didn't believe in evil and ran in a different direction, but he didn't see any movement from the man in black, but he was always waiting for him before him.
"You...... You...... Want to put me under house arrest? Bai Qi looked at the man in black with some fear, with a wary face.
The man in black shook his head, and Bai Qi was even more puzzled: "Then why are you stopping me, I said I want to go home." ”
The man in black lowered his head, pondered for a while, and then said coldly: "Your murderous intent is too heavy, you must cultivate your mind and cultivate your temperament, and wear off your violent heart." ”
"What?" Bai Qi asked the man in black loudly, but the man in black didn't answer, he muttered to himself: Didn't you just kill a few scum? With such a fuss, when they killed Uncle Daqing and Xiaosheng, why didn't they see you come out.
The more Bai Qi spoke, the more excited he became, tears rolled in his eyes, thinking of the deaths of Xiaosheng and Uncle Daqing, he was sad and couldn't help but be sad.
"What are you muttering about?"
"I didn't ...... It's nothing. ”
The scene suddenly became cold, and Bai Qi secretly thought, I have a heart and feet, I don't believe you can trap me for ten years.
Tigers have a time to nap, and besides, are they human? I don't believe you don't sleep.
In the following month, Bai Qi tried all kinds of escape methods, but every action seemed to be expected by the man in black, and it was difficult to escape the palm of his hand no matter what.
Bai Qi gradually became a little disheartened, this man in black did not enter the oil and salt, which made Bai Qi very frustrated, so he secretly gave him the nickname of the Dark Lord. Just because the man in black is dressed in black, with black hair, black boots, and a black heart. Only the title of the Demon King can make Bai Qi so deflated.
What made Bai Qi feel a little relieved was that the Dark Lord didn't mean to hurt him, so he wasn't afraid of the Dark Lord, and after a long time, he often joked with the Dark Lord. It's just that the Dark Lord doesn't seem to be able to laugh, at least Bai Qi has never seen the Dark Lord laugh, this person seems to have no emotion.
Another two months have passed, Bai Qi's body has fully recovered, and he has a very relaxed and happy life every day in addition to practicing swords, reading the books of the hundred schools of thought.
The Dark Lord's collection of books is very rich, from Confucian classics such as "Zhou Yi" and "Zhou Li" to the Taoist "Tao Te Ching", "Zhuangzi" to "Book of Poetry" and "Chinese", and the soldiers have "Wu Qi Art of War", "Sima Law", and the work of Yin and Yang scholar Zou Yan "Five Virtues Finally Said" and so on, etc., really everything, so that Bai Qi is very lingering, almost to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat.
On this day, the Dark Lord left suddenly, and the time came for Bai Qi to secretly pass, ready to go down the mountain and leave. However, he found that this place had already been arranged with the Dark Lord with a mechanism and formation, so that he could not leave at all, so he went back to study the war book hard, trying to find a way to break the formation.
Three months later, the Dark Lord suddenly returned quietly, just as he had quietly left. When he came back this time, he brought back "The Art of War" to Bai Qi and there were annotations, which made Bai Qi exclaim, and he couldn't sleep all night with joy, and he kept reciting.
After Bai Qi recited, he found that this commentary was actually made by Sun Bin, which was shocking. At the beginning, there were assassins who had been chasing and killing Tian Ji for the sake of this holy book of soldiers, but they didn't expect it to be obtained by the Dark Lord.
The day after the Dark Lord returned, he told Shiro the unfortunate news.
Half a year ago, the Mo family giant died after a decisive battle with Da Si Ming in the Chu State. So, Mo Li returned to the Mo family with the corpse of the belly, along with the giant order and the giant sword.
Originally, when Mo Li returned to the Mo family, Deng Lingzi, the law enforcement elder of the Mo family, and Xiang Fuzi, the elder of the Dharma Transmission Sect, did not agree with his identity as the heir of the giant son, and the accusations were all because of Mo Li and Bai Qi, which caused the Mo family to suffer misfortune, and therefore made the abdomen die.
Therefore, the Mo family was divided into three, and the giant sword was taken away by Deng Lingzi, so some disciples followed Deng Lingzi to the Chu State and worshiped him as a giant son; Juziling was taken away by Xiangfuzi, so another part of the disciples went to Qi with Xiangfuzi and also regarded him as Juzi; The few remaining people still love Mo Li and regard him as a giant.
The Mo family was gradually declining, and after being divided into three, its strength was greatly weakened.
Bai Qi's little hands were clenched very tightly, and he couldn't imagine that such a change would happen to the Mo family. At the same time, he was also angry at the shamelessness of Deng Lingzi and Xiangfuzi, when the Mo family was besieged by the Dark Night Organization, the two did not come forward to rescue them, but the giant died in the abdomen, and the two immediately jumped out to compete for the position of the giant.
Another half a year passed, Bai Qi studied more diligently, and he decided to study literature and martial arts well, so that he could help Uncle Li reorganize the Mo family in the future.
In the next three years, Bai Qi recited all the sons and all the schools, and although his comprehension was not thorough, he also benefited a lot. In the past three years, the Dark Lord also taught him to practice swords, and with the growth of age and internal strength, the seven-star sword technique actually slowly appeared in Bai Qi's mind, which surprised him.
In the past three years, his swordsmanship has also improved by leaps and bounds, which has been praised by the Dark Lord from time to time.
This time, the Dark Lord disappeared again, but Bai Qi was not surprised, the Dark Lord often disappeared without knowing it, but suddenly appeared one day. It's just that this time, after the Dark Lord disappeared, he never appeared again.
One-year, two-year, three-year ......
Seven years have passed in a flick of a finger, and Bai Qi is already sixteen years old this year. Unconsciously, he had been in Yandang Mountain for ten years, and as the Dark Lord said, he had to live on this mountain for ten years.
After Bai Qi finished practicing his sword that day, he decided to break the formation all the way down the mountain. After living in the mountains for ten years, whether it is cultivating his mind or practicing martial arts and swords, he feels that he has benefited a lot, and it is enough to protect himself in this troubled world.
Seven days in the cave, the world has been a thousand years, although this sentence is an exaggeration, but it is a deep understanding of the white. Ten years have passed in a flash.
In the past ten years, the general trend of the world has been uncertain, and the most eye-catching of them are the two columnists Zhang Yi and Su Qin, who really play with the world and tease the princes between their lips and teeth. It's just that three years ago, Su Qin was assassinated in Linzi, the capital of Qi, which caused an uproar, and the world sighed and looked sideways.

As long as the Yan country changes, the other six countries want to take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie.
This year is the seventh year of the reign of King Min of Qi, Tian Ying has died, and his son Tian Wen Gongzi inherited his father as Xue Gong, and King Qi worshiped him as the prime minister of Qi, and the world called Meng Weijun.
