Chapter 464: Heir?
The Guan Long family is very quiet, but there is also a very tense atmosphere, the gates are very frequently moving between the gates, and they want to know what each family wants to do, the second son of the Zhao family left the Zhao family's mansion and came all the way to the mountain of the Qinling branch.
Looking at this mountain, Zhao Rui turned over and dismounted step by step into the mountain, there are too many stories in this mountain, when Yuwentai led the general of the Guanlong Eight Pillars, fought hard here, Yuwentai also folded here, Yuwen Yimai fell from the battle of Bishan, until the extinction of even mentioning the name Yuwentai is almost forgotten.
It was also an era full of war, the Liang and Wei looked at each other across the Qinling Mountains, the rebellion of the Tiger Prison, the indifference of the Wei Emperor, the competition between the Eastern Wei and the Western Wei, the Western Wei created Yuwentai and destroyed Yuwentai, the demise of Yuwentai was also the beginning of a turning point in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the Northern and Southern Dynasties were also a very turbulent era, Liu Song, Qi, Liang, Chen in the south, the Northern Wei, the Western Wei, the Eastern Wei, the Northern Qi, the Northern Zhou, and the war that continued to the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was still flying in the Central Plains, until the Sui Emperor Yang Jian walked out of the troubled times. This somewhat absurd era is also the rise and fall of the scholar clan, which laid the foundation of the five surnames and seven sects, and also created the Guanlongmen valve.
Zhao Rui stepped on these wild grasses, Yuwentai was defeated in the mountains, and Yuwentai's family has been lonely all the way since then, not necessarily Yuwentai is a person who is a good person, but sometimes his heart is higher than the sky, and his life is thinner than paper.
There is also a legend in Pi Mountain, here is the largest mausoleum, in this eye hundreds of miles of Pi Shan Mountain Range buried under the characters of the past dynasties, Bi Shan is nameless, just a small branch in the Qinling Mountains, but there are many people buried here full of legends, but also let this Pi Mountain have a lot of legends.
Echoing with the mountain is Luoshui, a Luoshui full of myths from the Longshou Dam, all the way to the east, the waves are endless more than a thousand miles of wonders.
There is a hut on the mountainside here, where lives an old man, according to legend, is a grave keeper, but no one knows whose tomb he is guarding this old fellow, nor how long this old man has been here, he has been living on the mountain since he can remember, from middle age to the current gray hair, has never left.
"Old fellow, I'm here again." Zhao Rui stepped forward with difficulty, "I haven't seen you for so many years, you are even older." ”
"I'm dying." The old man said, "I wanted to die quietly, why did you come to disturb my leisure." ”
"I'm annoying, I'm here to find leisure, I also want to live in Bishan for some time." Zhao Rui opened his mouth and said, "The world under the mountain is too lively, I have to think about hiding." ”
"Hehehe......" the old man smiled.
"Old man, I didn't understand it since I was a child." Zhao Rui continued, "You said that this mountain is the boundary between Kunlun and the world, but this Kunlun is thousands of miles away from the mountain, why do you say that?" Is there any relationship between Bishan and Kunlun Mountain? ”
The old man sat motionless on the ground with his eyes closed.
"Old man?" Zhao Rui called again.
The old man still didn't react. It was as if he froze.
"Dead?" Zhao Rui stood in place for a while, nervously stepped forward to probe his snort and pulse, is he really dead?
"Why are you so dead!" Zhao Rui looked at him motionless.
"Ahem, cough, cough......" The old man suddenly coughed, opened his eyes like a corpse, and looked at himself with very sharp eyes, and it took a while to soften down, "Why is Zhao Ergongzi looking at the old man like this." ”
"You just died." Zhao Rui watched him retreat step by step, chilling all over.
"I also feel like I've just died." The old man whispered, "I had a dream at that moment, and I dreamed of a very dark road, where the ground was full of mud, and I knew that the old people were coming to pick me up. ”
"Who are those old people?" Zhao Rui asked.
"I can't remember their names." The old man shook his head and stood up on crutches, "It's always been like this lately, for a while, maybe my old guy is really about to die, those who ask for their lives come to ask for their lives, and those who collect debts come to collect debts, not far away." ”
"Who the hell were you before?" Zhao Rui looked at him.
"Boy, you've been asking for so many years, don't ask again." The old man smiled kindly, "If I die, old man, you will bury me in the mountains, old man, I thank you very much." ”
"I still don't know a lot of things, you can tell me about your life before you die." Zhao Rui helped him, "Maybe I can help you and pass on your story." ”
"Circulation?" He smiled contemptuously, "Boy, you remember, there are a lot of falsehoods in this world, the so-called immortality is just a lie to deceive the world, there is such a kind of people in this world, they have been burdened with the world's lies all their lives, as long as you see through those falsehoods, you can understand my life, it's not that the old man doesn't tell you." ”
The old man's skinny hand grabbed Zhao Rui's wrist, "Boy, I watched you grow up, your heart can't know this secret, there are many people in this world, some people can know and some can't, you are the one who can't know." ”
"I just need to know one thing!" Zhao Rui looked at him, "Who the hell are you?" ”
"The old man is a grave keeper." He walked into his hut, closed his eyes and lay down quietly.
This time Zhao Rui knew that he was not dead, he was just asleep, his breathing was very steady, looking at his wrist, he had a lot of strength just grabbing himself, this old man did not look like a person who had reached the point of dying.
Autumn is very dry, Zhao Rui's mood has become impatient, what will Gu Qing do next, what is the one in the palace who wants to force Guanlongmen to go, these are all what he wants to know in his heart, and the old man who has been a fan all his life, before the matter of Guanlong is settled, he has been living with the old man.
Maybe he may be going to die when he returns to the light, so he will spend some time with the old man, and maybe he will tell everything.
At this time, Yu Li was also standing at the foot of the mountain, watching that the mountain had not walked up for a long time, "The second son of the Zhao family is next to that old man, right?" ”
The attendant on the side nodded, "Do we still want to go up, master?" ”
"Let's go, don't look for that old man, since that old man can keep Zhao Rui by his side at this time, he won't say a word to me." Yu Li let out a long sigh, "Didn't Chang'an's eyeliner send news?" ”
"Not yet, it may take some time."
"You tell them that if they don't come back, they won't have to live." Yu Li said with cold eyes.
