In the last years of the Zhou Dynasty, the royal family declined, the princes everywhere were ambitious, and the troubled times had been revealed. On the surface, the princes of various places still paid tribute to the Zhou family, but they had not made a pilgrimage to Luoyi for four years. All countries have ordered their own government positions, and the rank and etiquette are not inferior to the Zhou dynasty, and the heart of disobedience is clearly revealed, and the undercurrent is surging under the calm.

The beginning of the story takes place in a place called Hongshui at the junction of Qin and Jin.

Hongshui is located at the border junction of the Qin and Jin countries, where the people are simple and peaceful, and the rising and sunset rests, and the increasingly tense relations between the Qin and Jin countries do not affect these people in the slightest. The world is fought for by those who have the world in mind, and the common people only think about food and clothing.

On this day, there were two dusty passers-by outside Hongshui City, the older one had a long beard and a green robe, and was full of Confucianism, named Dong Guo Nan, the current Taifu of the Qin State, the young man was handsome, with a kind face, his name was Zeng Jing, and he was the only disciple of Dong Guo Nan, and the King of Qin wanted to recruit Zeng Jing into the court as an official several times, but Dong Guo Nan refused, saying that this son still needs to be tempered, and Zeng Jing was also interested in fame and fame, and he was not very concerned.

The two came to the gate of Hongshui City, stopped, and Zeng Jing asked: "Master, we have traveled all the way to the east in the past three years, ostensibly to study, but in fact, to find the reincarnation of the wise man, these fifteen major cities, hundreds of small villages have found nothing, I don't know when we can find a trace of news of the wise man." ”

Dong Guo Nan brushed his long beard and said with a smile: "The world is unpredictable, everything cannot be asserted, the guys of Sikong Tiangongfu have calculated the time for a year, and it is speculated that a new wise man will appear soon, although the teacher has always felt that these guys from Tiangongfu are a little stupid, but they should not play any tricks." ”

Zeng Jing smiled: "I don't think you believe what those people in Tiangongfu say at all. ”

Dong Guo Nan feigned anger and said: "As an official of the Qin State, the teacher still trusts these colleagues very much. ”

Zeng Jing smiled and said nothing.

It was already noon, the two of them walked into the city, found a Yuelai inn to stay, after entering the room, Zeng Jing opened the baggage, looked at the remaining coins, and said to Dong Guo Nan with a wry smile: "Master, you are always spending money so lavishly, we may have to beg on the streets before we can continue to travel east when we leave this city......

Dong Guo Nan was stunned and said: "Don't you cry poor with me, you are in charge of money all the way, and if you are not entangled enough, it is not that you are guarding and stealing, and you secretly stuffed it to a big girl and little daughter-in-law." I see that in the small village outside the mall, there is a little daughter-in-law who always talks to you, if I hadn't stopped it in time, you would have been pulled into the house by her. ”

Zeng Jing sighed very melancholy and said in a low voice: "Master, you are a bad person." Then he began to criticize Dong Guonan: "Master, you must enter the city on this road, you have to go to the house and live, you don't have wine and meat, and you will be rewarded with a lot of money when you are happy, I have told you this, you completely ignore it, and now you blame me." ”

Dong Guo Nan thought for a while and said, "When you go out, you have to pay attention to it." How many days will we be able to stay in this city? ”

Zeng Jing said: "If you save some flowers, you can stay for four or five days, provided that we don't have alcohol at every meal." ”

Dong Guo Nan was taken aback: "How can this work, the teacher's brain relies on wine to refresh himself." Speaking of wine, alas, I'm a little tired again, so quickly find a restaurant and have lunch."

Zeng Jing looked distressed.

Dong Guo Nan brushed his long beard and said with a smile: "When you meet an old acquaintance in a foreign country, life is happy, apprentice, follow the teacher to visit an old friend." He'll take care of it for us. ”

Zeng Jing was surprised: "Master, you also have an old friend here?" ”

Dong Guo Nan said very seriously: "Actually, I don't know it, but isn't there a shortage of money now?"

Zeng Jing was dumbfounded.

The two of them went out of the inn and walked to the east of Hongshui City, the west of Hongshui City was poor and rich, the more east they went, the more magnificent the house, Dong Guo Nan came to a room and knocked on the front door, and after a while, the door was opened, and a handsome young man came out of it, and looked at Dong Guo Nan, Dong Guo Nan smiled and brushed his beard, looking like a fairy wind, Zeng Jing looked at the handsome young man who opened the door behind him. The young man asked politely, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Dong Guo Nan said with a smile: "Go back to the house and tell your family, just say that the old people of Xianyang are visiting." ”

The young man didn't ask much, and respectfully invited the two into the courtyard.

In the courtyard, a strange-looking man is pruning flowers and plants, dozens of plates of flowers and plants are neatly placed aside, and they are pruned straight and neat, revealing a sense of pride between the colors. On the other side, a teenager was smiling and fetching water to water the flowers.

When the strange man saw the visitor, he was surprised, and he had been in a hurry for more than ten years, and he didn't expect that he would still be able to find this place. said, "How do you know I'm here?" ”

The old man smiled: "You met Feng'er here back then, although I am old, I still remember the road." ”

The reckless boy and Mr. Ruya traveled around the world, studied and discussed, in this inconspicuous town met another arrogant, talented young man, who was talking highly, a thousand cups not drunk good times, who knew that the weak boy was actually a woman dressed as a man, and the reckless boy knew each other, and achieved a legendary marriage, if it was not for the later war, if it was not for the high power of the reckless boy, if it was not for the rise and fall of the country, maybe this marriage would be longer.

Decades later, the reckless boy went through the baptism of war, alternating between life and death, leaving everything behind and returning to the place where it all began, and Mr. Ruya, who seemed to have never been young, came to this place with another traveling teenager.

"Wu Zhi!"

"Dong Guo Nan!"

The two looked at each other for a long time, and suddenly burst out laughing.

Dong Guo Nan took his apprentice to live like this, drinking and discussing things with Wu Zhi all day long, regardless of side things. Zeng Jing, who followed him, soon became good companions with Wu Zhi's two sons. Wu Zhi has a total of three sons, the eldest brother is called Wu Qi, has not returned, the Wu brothers have been evasive about the reason why the eldest brother left home, the second brother is called Wu Ye, there is always a light and comfortable smile on his face, the younger brother is called Wu Yong, quiet and polite, rarely speaks, but there is always a unique view on key matters, Zeng Jing since the south gate of Dong Guo, he followed the teacher to travel around the world, looking for study and visiting friends, knowledgeable, the Wu brothers often ask him to tell about the customs of various countries, the land of Qi is vast, the port is prosperous, The foreign people are blond and blue-eyed, and the two brothers are curious, and the city wall of Yan stretches for thousands of miles, and the momentum is magnificent, and in the northern land where the climate changes ever-changing, it has opened up the country of abundance with four seasons like spring and fertile land, which is amazing. The people of Chu are full of nature, living in the mountains and forests, accompanied by hundreds of beasts, and the unity of heaven and man is enviable. Qin is close to the barbarians, wars are continuous, the whole country advocates martial arts, the world's first swordsman Fan Qi now lives in the Qin country, his swordsmanship is superb, unmatched.

The martial arts brothers who have never been out of Hongshui City are fresh and curious about all this, and they never get tired of hearing it, although the three of them are of similar age, but Zeng Jing has traveled widely, is young and old, and his speech and demeanor are much more mature than those of the martial arts brothers, and he has the feeling of being a young man in Dongguo Nan.

The five of them had a good time and talked happily in this old courtyard.

The mutation occurred on the fourth day, when the martial arts brothers were chatting with Zeng Jingyuan, suddenly the heavens and the earth seemed to shake, and tens of millions of people on the mainland felt at the same time, and for a time the countries rose infinitely magnificent aura, and the light was shining with the sun, spreading to the four fields, and countless warriors and warlocks who were famous in the world or living in seclusion did not want to urge the aura, looking down from the sky, Jin, Qi, Qin, Chu, and Yan countries were in chaos for a while, and everyone seemed to be looking for the source of the shock, and then such a chaos did not last long, They reined in because they couldn't find the source of the shock, but in this chaos, the hidden strength of the countries was exposed a lot, and the fear between them deepened again.

After the small courtyard of the martial arts family shook, suddenly the courtyard bloomed with a very dazzling light, the light rose from the size of a grain of rice to a slender crack, a person stepped out of the crack, the martial brothers were surprised, it turned out to be the eldest brother who had been away from home for many years, and was busy stepping forward to greet him, the strange thing was that after approaching the eldest brother Wu Qizhang, he was blocked by an invisible wall, and he could not go further.

Wu Zhi and Dong Guo Nan heard the sound and looked at Wu Ye and Wu Yong, who were blocked from Wu Qi.

Wu Zhi shouted: "Who are you?" ”

Dong Guo Nan looked at Wu Qi intently, and his hands under the long sleeves couldn't help but tremble, sure enough, it was him! After waiting here for many days, I finally met the new wise man.

Wu Qi's eyes when he looked at Wu Zhi were not like a son's eyes looking at his father, but with a condescending attitude, he said coldly: "There have been great changes in the heavens and the earth, and this world will usher in a catastrophe. ”

After saying that, Wu Qi raised his hand, and three rays of light slowly flew towards the Wu father and son, as soon as the light touched the Wu brothers, it immediately quickly integrated into the body, Wu Ye Wu Yong's body was shocked, his eyes became blurred, and he slowly came back to his senses after a while, and the light circled back and forth around Wu Zhi, unable to enter for a long time, and finally shattered into a fine rain of light and disappeared after several temptations.

Wu Qi said lightly: "It turns out that these rules are no longer suitable for you. ”

Wu Zhi said angrily: "What are you going to do to my family?" Hurry up and get out of his body! ”

Wu Qi said: "Don't worry, I have no ill will towards him, the world is about to change greatly, I want to leave the mainland to look around, looking for an opportunity to change." ”

Wu Ye and Wu Yong seem to understand whether they understand or not, but they only know that the eldest brother seems to have become a key figure who can affect the overall situation of the world.

Zeng Jing sighed softly, the wise man in front of him seemed to be getting farther and farther away from the Qin State, and fortunately, he might not necessarily turn to support other countries.

Wu Zhi stood in front of him and said coldly: "No matter what your intentions are, when you go out of this door, I'm afraid you won't be able to make your own decisions." Besides, you owe me a son. ”

Wu Qi looked at Wu Zhi and said, "This son was already lost by you eighteen years ago. ”

Another Wu Qi walked out of the body, everyone found that he was just a soul appearance, tangible and insubstantial, he looked at Wu Zhi, and said flatly: "Father, since the day my mother died, I swear to myself that I will never forgive you, although you have been haggard and comatose for your mother all these years, but these are too late, I can't forgive you, but I can't hate you, I know that you are also full of remorse, but I can't face you, I want to go with him to see places outside the mainland, maybe one day I will figure it out, Will come back to see you again. ”

Wu Zhi was speechless, and Wu Ye and Wu Yong shouted in unison: "Big brother, do you really want to leave?" ”

Wu Qi looked at the two younger brothers gently, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's safest to be with him, I'll come back to see you." ”

After saying that, he walked straight to his body, and the two became one.

Wu Zhi looked at Dong Guo Nan and said: "All the things that the wise man can give to this world have been given, I may be the last outsider to come to this world, the great change has begun, I hope you Qin Guo will know for yourself, this world is no longer the world you thought it was, you go back and tell King Qin that the real enemy is not the people he thinks." ”

After a pause, he then said to Wu Zhi: "I have passed on some of Wu Ye Wu Yong's skills, and it can be regarded as a little compensation for your martial family, the troubled times are coming, and what their fate is, it depends on their own creation." With that, he disappeared into the light again under the gaze of everyone.

"Troubled times are coming, and what their fate will be depends on their own creation." A young man in the secret room closed his eyes tightly, and his mouth was full of words, and what he said was exactly the same as that of a wise man. The boy's expression became more and more painful, and finally his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he leaned weakly against the wall. There was another young man standing on the side, he couldn't help himself, this was the first time in five years that he had discovered the news of the wise man, how did he not get excited, his eyes were bright, "There is hope in the Zhou room, there is hope in the Zhou room!! ”

The faces of the two teenagers were surprisingly similar.

"Wang, that kid in the imperial city seems to have made a move, and a few masters went out of the city from the south gate three days ago."

The man was tall, but his back was already overwhelming, and the man did not turn around, and said in a low voice: "It must be the wise man who has news, I am afraid that there is nothing other than the wise man in this world that can make the Zhou family kid so unbreathable." Keep up and bring the wise back at all costs...... Even if it's a corpse. ”

The man took a step forward and pushed away the thick curtain in front of him, bright and golden, it turned out to be a magnificent, resplendent palace, the man raised his wine glass, smiled and greeted the guests.

Knowing the purpose of Dong Guo Nan's trip, Wu Zhi's attitude towards him changed dramatically, but Dong Guo Nan seemed to be deaf to Wu Zhi's cold words, Zeng Jing felt embarrassed, and he ate and drank in Wufu for three days, and before leaving, Wu Yong, the third boy of the martial family, gave dozens of knife coins with affection, and Dong Guo Nan praised him all the way. The two walked ten miles outside Hongshui City, passing by a pond, Dong Guo Nan finally stopped praising and looked into the distance with a solemn face.

Zeng Jing asked, "Master, what do you feel?" ”

Dong Guo Nan asked rhetorically, "What about you?" ”

"Murderous, so sharp murderous." Zeng Jing had never seen such a keen murderous aura, although it was certain that the person who came was still dozens of miles away, but the fierce murderous aura had already rushed to his face.

Dong Guo Nan didn't say a word, pulled Zeng Jing and jumped into the pond, the water shook for a while, and then calmed down.
