A light like a bean.

The dim lights swayed in the dark night, and the unbridled lights bloomed from time to time, which was enchanting. Yu Xin looked at the light, and remembered that year and month, it was also such a deep night, he wandered the streets of Zhongmu, when he was lonely, he met the wandering Crane Guanzi, and took him to the north and south, taught him to read and learn words, saw a broader world, and finally settled down in Handan.

For so many years, he has been curled up in this cramped mansion with Crane Guanzi, and he has never left a step except when Zhao Yong needs help. A few years ago, the old man lingered on the sickbed, and politely refused Zhao Yong's invitation to live in Zhao Wangcheng, leaving only the two little slaves rewarded by Zhao Yong to serve the old man.

Nowadays, the old man's body has run out of oil, and sometimes he is in a coma for a whole day, even without eating or drinking, and the whole person is emaciating very quickly. So much so that Yu Xin no longer dared to leave for half a minute, lest the old man make a mistake and he would not be around, causing lifelong regrets. A few days ago, Bian Que was invited to come for diagnosis and treatment, but he just said that he would do his best to obey the destiny of heaven.

"Ashin." The old man didn't know when he woke up, and called the stunned Yu Xin in his hoarse voice. Yu Xin came back to his senses and held the old man's raised right hand, "The kid is here." ”

He broke free of Yu Xin and pointed to a bookshelf across from him, where a lacquered box was placed. Yu Xin comprehended, took the box off the shelf, and put it in front of the old man. The crane opened the lid of the box tremblingly, and took out a number of compiled books from it, all of which were neatly written, and it was obvious that the person who wrote them was very serious.

"This is the result of my life, and I expected to exhaust the second half of my life's efforts to compile it, claiming to be a family, but today, it is no longer possible to complete it." Que Guanzi didn't know where the strength came from, and he actually had some strength to speak, "You have followed a certain for the longest time, the most knowledgeable, and the most deeply experienced, and the rest of the things will be done by you." As he spoke, he solemnly closed the lid and handed it to Yu Xin's hands, "I hope you can live up to the trust of old decay." ”

Yu Xin's solemn result lacquer box, but his mood became even heavier. He knew that he knew that his time was running out, and he wanted to entrust the future. It's just that the more he is like this, the more sad Yu Xin becomes. He had thought about what the old man would look like when he left, but at this moment, he still didn't know how to face it.

"As long as you take care of your health, you may not be able to complete this. If the kid is not as knowledgeable as Mr., I am afraid that he will not only insult the book, but also insult the reputation of the gentleman. At this point, tears were already moistening my eyes.

Crane Guanzi actually smiled and looked at Yu Xin, as if looking at his most perfect work of art.

"The old man has been studying since he was a child, following his master to concentrate on the deep valley, reading a lot of books, and boasting that he has studied the way of heaven, after the death of the master, in addition to the senior brother, he has long been no longer a second person. He had the ambition of a great bird and left the Ghost Valley, hoping to reconcile yin and yang and rectify the troubled times. His face was full of excitement, as if he had returned to that high-spirited old age. It's just that the way of heaven is ethereal, non-human can ponder, after several twists and turns, except for a little fur art that is liked by people, the power and academics, none of them are appreciated, and they can't use their own strength to coerce millions of teachers, panicking like dogs. ”

Yu Xin has followed the crane crown for half his life, and naturally knows that the old man's encounter is not comparable to ordinary people.

"Until that day in Handan, a certain celestial phenomenon warned him, and he met the current king. Since then, they have intersected and cherished each other. A certain is amazed at the strangeness of his thoughts, and he admires a certain auxiliary talent. In the past ten years, Zhao has undergone vigorous changes. ”

Crane Guanzi was born well, and what he learned in his life far surpassed others, but he didn't meet until the second half of his life.

Even so, the role played by Que Guanzi in Zhao Yong's reform is incomparable, and many of the changes are mostly from the discussion between Zhao Yong and Que Guanzi, and then handed over to Zhao Bao and others for discussion. When Zhao Yong's reform was the most difficult, it was Que Guanzi who supported him to continue walking.

What's more, Que Guanzi not only has a lot of guidance for Pang Cong and Li Zhuo, but even the two young men Pang Xuan and Lian Po, who are closed disciples, also have a great role in supporting Zhao Guo's future.

The crane slowly lifted the corners of the quilt, clearly trying to sit up. Although Yu Xin didn't want him to be burdened, he knew that the old man was stubborn, so he could only slowly help him sit up.

Crane Guanzi finally sat up, and Yu Xin carefully put a big coat on him.

"What other wishes does the gentleman have not fulfilled?"

Crane Guanzi shook his head, "The troubles of life are mostly greedy, and there are only three things that have not been let go of in a certain life." ”

"Sir, please speak, in vain." Yu Xin was not such a hypocritical person, and knew that at this moment, instead of hugging and crying with Que Guanzi, it was better to record the old man's last wish.

Crane Guanzi nodded, in his eyes, Yu Xin has always been his favorite disciple, and only he can be trusted.

"This first thing is something that has happened after some death. After a certain person dies, I hope you can take a certain ashes and send them to the ghost valley of Yunmeng Mountain, and hand them over to a certain senior brother Guiguzi. As he spoke, he actually laughed, "As for being able to get his teachings, it depends on your chance." ”

Of course, Yu Xin, the name of Guiguzi, was clear, and he vaguely remembered that he had heard Zhao Yong, Le Yi and others talk about it, but no one thought that Qu Guanzi would be a senior brother with him.

"This second thing is a matter of Zhao Guo." Speaking of this, the spirit of the crane crown was even more high-pitched, and there was a strange red on his face, "A certain person once watched the sky at night and found that the white tiger star in the north was bright, and it was the elephant of the lord to kill, among which Dousu was bright and dazzling, and it should be the elephant of the lord of the north." But although Ojuku is in a trance, it is unusually shining, which is probably not a good thing. ”

"Such a celestial phenomenon seems to be like the occasion of Zhao Guo, and there is a hidden omen in the vigor." After that, he sighed, "I don't know that the reform of the king is too eager for quick success, so it is necessary to divert internal attention with war to reduce internal friction." It's just that the murderous appearance has been completed, and the murderous deeds have appeared, but fortunately, the door of life is still there, and there is no endless road. As long as he jumps over this hurdle, Zhao Guo will be like a dragon of the nine heavens, unable to be captured. ”

Seeing that Qu Guanzi was still thinking about the affairs of Zhao Guo at this moment, Yu Confidence was even more concerned, "The king is now suffering inside and outside, and his mind is exhausted. ”

"A certain person once deduced the life of the king," Qu Guanzi carefully recalled, "but his life seems to be in the mirror, unpredictable." In terms of fate, when there was a scene of early death, but now it has passed the year of standing peacefully, and there is the difficulty of the collapse of the middle way in life, and there is the luck of the stars to help each other. Life is also timely, and a certain person really doesn't dare to understand it. ”

Yu Xin nodded, he knew that this matter was actually what Que Guanzi wanted to tell Zhao Yong, but now, I am afraid that there is no time to see him.

"As for the third thing, it's you." Que Guanzi looked at Yu Xin, "You have followed a certain side for many years, and you are rich in Wang Zuozhi's talent, so you should be able to rejuvenate the country and help the poor." As he spoke, Crane Guanzi's tone became sincere, "It's just that you value love and righteousness, and you are quite heroic." Although it is not bad, if there is great achievement, there should be a hard and cold heart. You must know that if it weren't for Pang Juan daring to frame Sun Bin, there would be no general of Wei, and if it weren't for Sun Bin to kill Pang Juan to take revenge, there would be no Qi State strong for a while. This is the number of days, every drink and peck, there is cause and effect. If you want to make some achievements in history, but you don't have a tenacious heart, I'm afraid you can't do it. ”

Yu Xin actually wanted to refute Crane Guanzi's words very much, in his eyes, if Yu Xin with such a personality made a change, it would not be Yu Xin. He can not make any great achievements, but he must have his own independent character, even if he is broken, it is not terrible.

It's just that the old man is about to die, and he doesn't want to argue with the old man anymore, so he can only promise to say yes.

How can Crane Guanzi not see through Yu Xin's thoughts, but the matter has come to this, and it can only be like this.

"The rest, such as Pang Xuan, etc., have already written a few letters, and he has time to help him send them." As he spoke, he pondered for a while, and still said, "Although I have met Fan Ju a few times, this person's personality is too extreme, maybe he knows how to repay his kindness, but he is also narrow-minded and willful, and he must be careful when using it." ”

Yu Xin knew that the old man had already known about the fact that he recommended Fan Ju to Le Yi the day before yesterday, but he didn't know what the purpose of mentioning this matter was now.

"In this way, the heart is gone, and a certain immortal can pass away calmly."

"Sir!" Yu Xin saw that the crane was smiling, and there was no trace of the pain of the person who was about to die. It's just that the true feelings are revealed, but they can't stop lying on the body of the crane and crying.

"Idiot, idiot. Life is constant, life and death are life, why should it be so? He said, draped the big coat on Yu Xin's body, "You go and serve a pot of turbid wine, you and I will drink a few glasses, and it will be counted as giving me a ride." ”

Yu Xin wanted to chat with Que Guanzi again, but when he saw that he said it so indifferently, he couldn't bear to brush off his meaning, so he turned around and walked out, brought a pot of wine, and gave the old man a ride.

When he opened the curtain and walked in again, he saw that the crane had his eyes closed, and he was leaning against the wall behind him with a peaceful expression, as if he was asleep. Yu Xin moved, walked forward quickly, and his hand touched the body of the crane crown, which was very cold. He stretched out his hand tremblingly, but he couldn't feel the snort of the crane crown, and suddenly, as if his soul had been extracted, he fell to the ground in a dejected manner.
