"At the beginning of human beings, their nature is good, their sex is similar, and their actions are far away..."

The sound of Langlang books kept flowing from a small quiet room, and the teacher who was carefully pondering the article under the pergola outside listened to it, and his face was so satisfied.

That satisfied look didn't begin to change until a tall brocade-clad man appeared.

When Fang stepped into the garden, his face had changed, and without waiting for the teacher to greet him, he raised his right hand and shook the small door of the quiet room open.

The quiet room was empty, but the sound of the book was still coming out, and the strange scene made the teacher who had always been silent and confused even jump out of his eyes.

"This, what is this?!"

Ignoring him, the brocade-clothed man's face became very complicated. And if you look closely, it is a bitter smile that mixes "displeasure" and "pride".

(Really, when he passed on the trick of forgetting his feelings, he didn't let him use it to skip class.)

(However, at the age of nine, I was able to grasp the mystery of the thunder trick and the flexible application, and Siqian's qualifications were indeed above me...)

*****

Outside, in the dense thatch, a boy in cloth clothes who was only eight or nine years old spat and came out of the grass.

(Phew, I've finally escaped, annoying old guy, I'm getting my eyes tighter.)

He only wore cloth clothes, because he had changed the gorgeous clothes on his body on the way here, and replaced them with this set of cloth clothes he had obtained from the "subordinates", although he was young, he already understood that that the brocade clothes, in many cases, could form a gap between him and the "friends" he was looking for now.

(Well, where did they all go?) Could it be that I left because I was late?)

"Whoosh!"

With a loud thud, an elm stick as thick as a big finger swung down the boy's head, and at the same time, the other two sticks swept towards the boy's ankles, one to the left and one to the right.

(Good!)

When he was attacked, the boy was not surprised or rejoiced, and as soon as he turned his head, he had already avoided the first stick, and even leaned forward, and the moment his feet left the ground, he just avoided the two sticks that had been swept cross.

At the same time as rushing forward, he supported the ground with both hands, stood upside down, swept his feet in a hurry, and blocked the three sticks that were chasing him, bent his arms and sent them away, and the whole person flew upside down, turned over, and fell outside the ground, hehe smiled: "What, you guys are still... Huh?!"

At the sound of the words, the ground under the boy's feet suddenly cracked, trapping him in a trap that had been dug beforehand!

The boy was very strong-willed, and although he was ambushed, he refused to give up, and when he fell, he had already inhaled deeply, and as soon as his feet touched the bottom of the pit, he was already shouting, and rushed upwards with all his strength!

Quick reaction and quick movement were the boy's strengths, but at this moment, it became an extremely bad weakness for him, because, if his movements were slower, he would have had time to find that at the same time as he stepped on the trap, directly above him, a black cloud had fallen at a very fast speed...

"Bump!"

The boy who rushed in a hurry hit his head into the heavy and large rattan basket, only to feel dizzy for a while, and with a bang, he fell back to the bottom of the pit and leaned diagonally on the pit wall.

(It hurts, these guys, won't they use a lighter wicker basket?) Something that is not righteous...)

"Haha, got him!"

"We've won once!"

"Sure enough, it's Xiao Lun's idea!"

In the midst of laughter, many footsteps gathered around the trap, and the boy in a daze could only hear one name.

(Lun?) Sure enough, it's her, the villain...)

The sun suddenly brightened, and the basket had been lifted from the outside, and a rope was lowered, and the boy snorted, grabbed the end of the rope, and slowly climbed up.

As soon as he came up, more than a dozen boys and girls in very simple clothes were already giggling and surrounded him.

"Xiaoqian, don't talk big today, right?"

"Hmph, what if you hide fast, what if you jump high, give you a Tarzan top!"

"Haha, you see, he's got a bag on his head!"

Gossiping, laughing and teasing, although saying some "derogatory" words, everyone's expressions are also affectionate and cheerful, and when we see Wang Siqian also laughing and hugging them or taking a few punches in some people's arms, we can know that regardless of the background of these children, they and Wang Siqian do have a "friendship" that they value each other.

The only person standing outside the circle was a girl who looked like she was only eight or nine years old, wearing a red-bottomed gown, with a much better texture than other children, with two pigtails tied up on her head, crossed her waist, looking very angry, and she didn't speak, just kept looking at Wang Siqian with her eyes.

Flattening his nose, Wang Siqian slowly walked in front of the girl, rolled his eyes, and let out a long sigh before he said, "Lun, you won."

…

In the distance, in a hazy "light barrier", two men with blurred faces and figures were talking lazily.

"The young master seems to have suffered a loss today."

"That's right, Li Lun's ghost girl, she looks honest, but she has a lot of ideas."

"I really can't figure it out, why does the young master like to play with these subordinates?"

"Who knows? Besides, that's none of our business."

"Actually, speaking of which, our work is also easy, as long as the young master is not in danger, he doesn't even need to show up, as long as he is here to monitor from afar, and choose to report, it is much easier than those brothers who go out on duty."

"yes... Huh?!"

"What's the matter,,, young master, where did the young master go?!"

The two of them who were leisurely suddenly found that Wang Siqian and Li Lun had disappeared from their sight, and when they were frightened, they couldn't care about hiding their identities anymore, and rushed past, and when they asked those children, they got an answer that made them angry.

"We know and don't tell."

"Yes, Xiao Qian said, don't be afraid of you, if you dare to hurt us, he will deal with you fiercely."

"Bah, big villain, just don't say it, I'm mad at you."

…

Looking at each other, both of them had a crying and laughing expression.

(Young master, your style of acting is really too different from the head of the house...)

Although they are not responsible, the two are not too worried, although this place is a village, but it is also the core area of the Langya Wang family, if there is an enemy entering, it is still ten miles away, it will alarm the defense line of the Wang family, and this "Daoxiang Village" dedicated to the high-level vegetable rice of the Wang family has also been "cleaned" more than once by the masters of the Wang family, and there are no poisonous snakes and beasts. Even if the two children run away for a while, there will be no danger, and Wang Zhonggu is very wide, as long as Wang Siqian does not have any accidents, the two of them will be reprimanded at most, and they will not be punished seriously.

(But, young master, where are you now?)

Omniscience is definitely not a kind of happiness, this sentence has been repeated by many wise men and sages. And now, this law is working in a very wonderful way on these two cousins of the Wang family.

Because they don't know where Wang Siqian is, they can chat leisurely and freely, and if they know that their 'young master' is there now, the moisture in their bodies will probably immediately turn into a drenched sweat, soaking their heavy clothes...

Actually, the place where Wang Siqian and Li Lun are located is not such a terrible place, at least, it seems like this on the surface.

The two of them were walking through a very deep and dense forest. The trees in the forest are upright, the leaves are even, the veins are clear, exude a slight fragrance, and there are a few sounds of birds and insects hissing, which makes this place quiet, and it is really a very memorable place.

"Hey, hey, I said, where the hell are you going?"

The bet failed, Wang Siqian had no choice but to be obedient, followed Li Lun to this deep forest, and kept moving forward in a direction that only Li Lun could understand. was willing to gamble and lose, and had nothing to say, but when the two of them had traveled almost three miles in the forest, Wang Siqian finally couldn't help it and wanted to ask questions.

Moreover, although the forest here is dense and the sun is covered, the direction is still vaguely recognizable, at least, Wang Siqian, he has begun to feel suspiciously, the direction chosen by Li Lun is getting closer and closer to a place where he seems to know its nature...

"Hey, no, you can't go to that place!"

When Li Lun let out a long breath and pointed to a place from among the bushes, he smiled and said, "It's here." At that time, Wang Siqian's complexion changed greatly, and he flashed and blocked in front of her, because the movement was too fast, Li Lun didn't even have time to stop his steps, and crashed into his arms, almost knocking him down.

… That place, although Wang Siqian's face changed greatly, it really didn't look like a "terrible" place.

After walking for a long time, the two of them have reached the edge of the woods at this moment, and through the gap between the gradually sparse trees, they can see that there is a clearing of two or three acres in size, a small river from the forest in front of them, turning freely, bending out of a pool of clear water, the river water is clear, not sticking to a piece of dust, and there are a few floating lotuses floating on it, gently swaying in the breeze. There is a sound of water from time to time, but it is the brocade scales jumping into the water, reflecting a beautiful arc in the sun.

At the bend of the river, there is a set of small courtyards, the loose fence encloses about two or three points of land area, a set of three water villas are built near the water, and four mahogany carved windows are opened on the side facing the water, although the two have looked at it from a distance, they also feel that the carving is very exquisite.

"Hey, listen to me, you can't go to that place, you really can't go..."

was so anxious that he almost sweated, Wang Siqian opened his hands and tried his best to persuade him, but he only exchanged Li Lun with a disdainful look.

"Unplanted man, have you said enough? Do you want to talk and not count?"

"You..."

Although he was still childish, Li Lun's contempt pierced a place that no man could tolerate, causing Wang Siqian's face to immediately turn red, and blocking the dissuasion he originally wanted to say.

(Hmph, if you don't believe me, ignore you, let you suffer a little, and only then will you know if I have not...) There's nothing like that.)

Ignoring Wang Siqian, Li Lun took a few steps forward, reached the edge of the woods, cautiously probed to look, but did not go out, only turned back to Wang Siqian and said, "Hey, Xiaoqian, come over for a while."

(Hmph, count yourself smart...)

With a smug feeling in his heart, Wang Siqian took a deep breath, straightened his stomach, and then staggered over, and said, "What's wrong, why don't you go?"

Li Lun glanced at him, pursed his lips, and said, "Don't think I don't know."

"This place is a forbidden place for your father, no one is allowed to go there, although it looks peaceful, but as soon as we get out of this wood, there will be very powerful people jumping out to make trouble."

"Huh?"

Greatly admired, Wang Siqianqi said: "How can you know so clearly? I didn't even know about it until I was six years old."

Li Lun was very happy to see him like this, and said arrogantly: "What's so strange about that, what does Miss Ben not know?" But he didn't say anything." I've been blocked here more than ten times or eight times, how can I not know?"

Wang Siqian said with a smile: "Those people are very powerful, and I can't help it if I only listen to my father, so I don't want to help you, it's that I really can't help you, let's go back, at most, after more than ten years, when they also listen to me, I'll take you in again..."

Li Lun let him stop his left hand, but he didn't move, he only smiled and said: "Actually, Xiaoqian, you still have a way to help me, the key depends on whether you are willing or not."

Wang Siqian was stunned, and said in his heart: "What tricks does she play?" He said: "What is the way, you say it, I will help..." suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "But if you ask me to beg my father, it can't work, because it will definitely be useless..."

Li Lun smiled even more happily and said, "Don't alarm your father." As he spoke, he turned around to leave, but suddenly his feet were soft, and he fell to the ground with a bang. Wang Siqian was very concerned and hurriedly said, "What's wrong with you?" As she spoke, she came to help her, and when she thought of it, Fang helped Li Lun on her shoulder, she turned around suddenly, and the cold light flashed in her hand, and it was a short dagger that had been placed on Wang Siqian's lower abdomen!

"Listen to the people of the Wang family!"

"Your eldest son's son has already fallen into my hands, so you'd better not mess with me, otherwise, I'll definitely wipe a guy on his neck first, I'm not scaring you, did you hear that?!"

Really like a female kidnapper, Li Lun wore a cloak of hair, shouted viciously, put a dagger on Wang Siqian's neck, dragged him who was already half dead with anger, and slowly approached the small courtyard.

At that moment, at least more than thirty children of the Wang family poured out a very absurd idea at the same time.

(Is this girl human?)

*****

"This girl, is it a human being..."

With a wry smile and a sigh, a sigh slipped out of Wang Zhonggu's mouth, and in front of his eyes, a wide curtain of light was truthfully conveying everything that happened outside the small courtyard to him.

"The head of the family, although she is a descendant of Bosheng, but doing this is really too much, you see, isn't it..."

The person who whispered to Wang Zhonggu is about thirty years old, and he is also one of the rookies that the Langya Wang family has been cultivating in recent years, "Jade Leopard" Wang Chenye, who has the seventh-level middle-level strength, is already a well-known figure.

Although he thinks he has a plan, in the eyes of these masters with real strength, Li Lun's level of "coercion" is not even a "joke", if he is interested, there are at least more than twenty ways to make Li Lun die or faint without even understanding himself without hurting Wang Siqian.

What really makes them "forbear" is an "identity" and a "command".

Li Lun's "identity", and Wang Zhonggu's "order".

Ignoring Wang Chenye's whispers, Wang Zhonggu watched intently, his right hand slowly rubbed, his face was like joy and sadness, and his expression was very strange.

"This girl..."

Seeing that the head of the family didn't say anything, as soon as the children of the Wang family took the opportunity to stop, let Wang Zhonggu immerse himself in his self-consciousness.

(Bosheng, why, if it's your daughter?)

(Are you blaming me?) Blame me for my hesitation, cowardice, and mine, for not believing in my words?)

(Why, it's your daughter...)

Sighing gloomily, Wang Zhonggu lifted his right hand and covered it softly on his face.

(Why, why...)

Without any instructions, there was no action, under the gaze of countless pairs of silent eyes, Li Lun, who was pulling Wang Siqian, had slowly approached the river bend and walked on the Hongqiao handmade of thick logs.

"The head of the house..."

Seeing that Li Lun had gradually entered the area where even the guards could not enter, Wang Chenye was slightly anxious, ignoring Wang Zhonggu's sleeping and contemplation, and leaned over again to speak.

(Alas!)

Trying to cheer up his spirits, Wang Zhong opened his eyes alone, tightened his right hand suddenly, and clenched it into a fist, but he spun down again, closed his eyes and lay down, waved his hand slightly, and said lightly: "Let's go on your own."

It wasn't until the disciples who were still "puzzled" dispersed one by one, and there was no one else in the room, that Wang Zhonggu slowly got up and looked at the light curtain, the childish face that was red with excitement and exuded the brilliance of life.

Looking at that face, he was stunned for a long time.

(That's it, that's it.)

(Life, it's all fate...)

Sighing, Wang Zhonggu chose the second "escape" in his life, as he did nine years ago, using "fate" as an excuse, he once again evaded the "responsibility" of decision-making.

*****

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Although Wang Siqian is not fat, he is by no means light, in the case of "hijacking" him with a knife in one hand, he half-pulled and half-dragged him across the ground for more than 100 steps, and when he reached the door of the small courtyard, Li Lun was also sweating profusely, and he couldn't help complaining: "You actually want me to help you?" Are you still a man..."

"Hey, it's none of my business, is it? You're trying to blackmail me, wouldn't it be strange if I were to actively walk in front and even help you go..."

Defending loudly, Wang Siqian still straightened his waist a little, and used a little strength in his hand to quietly help Li Lun.

… Finally, the two of them stood in front of the courtyard gate.

Facing the small vermilion door, Li Lun, who had been planning for a long time and finally got his wish, was so excited that he didn't pay much attention to Wang Siqian beside him.

(The only place in the entire Langya Manor that I haven't been to has finally let me in!) ）

When Li Lun was caught in "excitement", Wang Siqian was feeling "confused".

Standing in front of Zhumen, he suddenly felt a burst of excitement for no reason, a burst of excitement that he couldn't understand or digest.

(What is this, so familiar, so kind, but so unfamiliar...) ）

"Bang!"

"What is this?"

He screamed excitedly, wanting to rush into the courtyard gate at once, but Li Lun hit an invisible wall, although the rebound force was not very large, it still shook her back several steps away, and she fell on the ground and squatted.

(Is this the trick of "forgetting the ghost calling" that my father mentioned before?) But that spell wasn't... ）

Holding back a smile and helping Li Lun, who was already angry in his eyes and about to burst into flames, the two of them tried hard to explore for a long time, but in the end, they only proved that the whole house was shrouded in this strange invisible force wall, which made Li Lun furious.

There is no way to take that barrier, it is conceivable that Li Lun's anger can only be sent to Wang Siqian's head.

"Xiao Qian, the people of your Wang family are so treacherous, too treacherous!"

"Well, this, this place is not my hands and feet, even if you strangle me, it's useless... Uh, you're pinching too hard..."

Facts have proved that the education Wang Siqian has received since childhood is indeed not useless, and when his neck is firmly choked and shaken vigorously, Wang Siqian can still not forget the courtesy of a gentleman and support him hard, and try to use the method of "persuasion" to appease Li Lun, but, unfortunately, his efforts have hardly received any results. What stopped Li Lun and saved him was a very light "Yiya".

With a creak, the door slowly opened from the inside.

Both of them were stunned and fell silent.

"Are there any guests?"

The low and immature boy's voice, which does not sound more than ten years old, makes people feel slightly "uncomfortable" because it does not seem to contain any "feelings". As he spoke, he slowly pulled the door open.

The door opened, revealing a hideous ghostly face.

(This...) ）

Breathing in the cold air strongly, Li Lun and Wang Siqian couldn't think of what to say for a while.

When I looked closely, what appeared behind the wooden door was a boy of roughly the same height as Wang Siqian, dressed in a hemp folding coat and wearing a pair of lotus shoes, all of which were common attire for the children of rich families in the north. but they could not see his face.

His face was covered with a large and elaborate ghostly mask: a blue-gray forehead with a curved and powerful horn, round eyes, a bloody mouth cracked, two sharp fangs sticking out from the edge of his lips, and the right one was smeared a little red by the craftsman, which was even more touching to look at.

The mask was apparently made for adults, and it was so huge and arrogant on a boy's face that it was more like a master of the two than the boy.

After a moment of surprise, Wang Siqian suddenly felt a burst of sadness and anger.

Something that he shouldn't understand or experience at his age.

Has this person, this child, been locked up for a long time?

Unconsciously felt that Wang Siqian had slowly stepped forward, stretched out his right hand, and pressed it against the invisible spell wall, and, as if he had some kind of induction, the boy also took a step forward and made the same movement as him.

The two hands, through the invisible barrier, pressed together. Some kind of "information", which began to pass between the two, exchanged.

Although he had never seen or heard of this boy, in a trance, Wang Siqian seemed to see a lonely toddler with a huge ghost face, standing alone in this seemingly beautiful place, roaming lonely.

At every point of water, he stopped, but then walked away quickly, for he could not see himself, but a greedy and vicious ghost.

With this mask, he lived and grew up alone, and every fragment of memory carried the strong traces of this mask.

The mask, like a hint, like a sign, stubbornly haunted him, appeared in every dream, in every mirror, in every time he "wanted" and "should" to understand himself, like a mockery, like a curse, like a maggot attached to the bone, in every lingering memory.

"Gross..."

Although he only pressed his palm on the spell wall for a short while, when he took his hand away, the huge nausea and pain made Wang Siqian unable to stand still, and he was almost half-lying on the ground retching desperately.

His heart was dripping with blood.

It's just a short experience, it's already like this, how did the boy opposite, the boy who has lived and grown up with such a fate, spend these days and nights?!

When Wang Siqian wiped his mouth clean and stood up, he had already made up his mind.

One, a determination that made him pay countless costs in the future.

At the same time, it was a determination he never regretted.

Trying to restore his attitude to calm, Wang Siqian walked to the wall, stared at the two black and crystal pupils on the mask, and said word by word: "I will let you out, definitely." “

After a pause, he added, "Tell me, what's your name?" “

In an instant, like a war millet flowing through the whole body, Wang Siqian and Li Lun had a strong feeling at the same time.

(He, laughing...) ）

Then, they all heard a calm voice.

"Thank you."

"No one has ever named me, and according to the books, you can call me nameless."

*****

"Fate, indeed fate..."

Sighing gloomily, Wang Zhonggu fell back into the chair weakly, as if he had suddenly aged ten years.

Dazed, he seemed to be able to hear that in that distant place, where no one could reach, the stone of fate that he had stopped for nine years had finally fallen, and in the huge lake of destiny, wave after wave of ripples began to be set off...

*****

In the autumn of the second year of Emperor Guangtong, Wang Siqian, who was nine years old at the time, first met the same nine-year-old nameless, and later shook the entire Daxia land with the names of "Xiaoshui King" and "The Great Black of the World".
