Volume 2 Exotic Majesty Section 21 The wind is in him

Liu Zheng asked, "Can you tell me about grandpa, what kind of person is he?" ”

"Your grandfather..."At the mention of grandpa, Mrs. Gao showed a look of reminiscence, "He is not a native of Kunlun, but he broke in by mistake from the outside." The first time I met your grandfather, he was being escorted by the mountain rangers to see the patriarch, and he was a teenager at the time, but just one look at me knew that he would be a great man. ”

Looking at the smile on Mrs. Gao's face, Liu Zheng sensibly did not disturb her.

"At that time, there was a war going on in the outside world, your grandfather's village was burned down by aliens, and all his relatives died, he fled all the way, and somehow entered the Kunlun Secret Realm. The patriarch saw that his bones were strange and a good material for martial arts, so he left him in the secret realm. Sure enough, a few years later, he grew from a silly boy with no foundation in martial arts to a leader among the young generation in Kunlun. Later, he relied on his self-created martial arts 'Feng Xi Duel' to defeat 17 masters in a row at the secret realm martial arts competition in that year, shocking the entire martial arts, and people gave him the title of 'Feng Bo'. After his martial arts were completed, he opened a martial arts hall in Kunlun, and many top fighters came from his disciples, and Wu Aoshi, the Kunlun Iron Fist of that generation, was also his disciple! ”

That's amazing, isn't it?

Is this still the grandfather in Liu Zheng's memory? His impression of his grandfather is obviously just an old farmer......

At that time, Qiantang City was not as big as it is now, and there was still a lot of farmland, and every morning my grandfather would walk out of the house with a pair of plastic slippers and a hoe to farm, and he would greet familiar neighbors with a smile along the way;

When it was time for dinner, grandpa would scald a pot of rice wine, carry a low table and a small chair and sit at the door, facing the sunset, drinking and eating vegetables and chatting about homely things, and a meal could be eaten until dark;

Grandpa was also the best chess player on their street, and he often killed a dozen other old men by himself, and then laughed heartily at the remorseful complaints of the old fellows. He also played chess with his grandfather when he was a child, and he won with only half of the pieces;

Grandpa always urged him to practice, and if he was lazy, he would be very angry, and his beard would shake and shake. However, he never allowed himself to show qigong, saying that he would keep it secret;

The family used to have an old cat, which was very close to his grandfather, and always liked to lie on his grandfather's lap and nap;

Grandfather...

Liu Zheng thought about it, his eyes were a little moist, and Mrs. Gao just looked at him gently, without a trace of ferocity in her eyes.

"I'm sorry." Liu Zheng blinked his eyes, and the (qíng) in his heart was gone, and he suddenly remembered a person, that was Lei Gong. Danny has mentioned his martial arts teacher Lei Gong more than once, saying how open-minded and chic this senior is, how thorough his martial arts are, and how impartial and righteous he is as a law enforcement officer in Kunlun. They are a wind and a thunder, what else do they have to do?

"Your grandfather and Lei Gong have been friends and enemies for a lifetime, and the relationship is naturally very deep." When Mrs. Gao saw Liu Zheng asking, she replied with a smile, "They have been practicing martial arts together since they were children, and they are all martial arts geniuses of that generation. Lei Gong (xìng) is like a fire, Feng Bo is as gentle as jade, they don't like each other in the school, the two of them grew up quickly in the fierce competition, and later became the top masters of the entire martial arts, and no one in the younger generation can stand out. In the years when Kunlun's 'Two Saints of Wind and Thunder' dominated the limelight, who heard Kunlun not give a thumbs up and praise a 'martial arts master'? ”

Liu Zheng couldn't help sighing: "I didn't expect my grandfather to be a powerful figure on the same level as Lei Gong, I never knew it." ”

Mrs. Gao smiled: "It's nothing. After he left Kunlun, he swore a poisonous oath that he would never use martial arts again, and it is normal that you don't know this. ”

"Why does Grandpa have 'Dragon Power', he is also a dragonborn?" Liu Zheng said as he spoke, and suddenly exclaimed, "He should be deeply affected by Dai Cai in Kunlun, why did even he betray him?" ”

Mrs. Gao shook her head: "I said, the things (qíng) back then were very complicated, and knowing too much is not good for you." You only need to remember one thing, your grandfather did not betray Kunlun. ”

This sentence has a deeper meaning: she only said that her grandfather did not betray Kunlun, but did not say "we", so what it means...

Liu Zheng's heart darkened.

"The learning conditions of the dragon's power are extremely special, if the opportunity is not right, even if you are talented and intelligent, you will not be able to learn at all. Your grandfather didn't really know the 'power of the dragon', he just memorized the scriptures in the dossier, and after he knew that you were a dragonborn, he taught you with all his heart. ”

"I see... No wonder he has been practicing hard (bī) with me since he was a child, and he refuses to tell me what qigong it is, it seems that he is afraid of being coveted by others..."Liu Zheng said in a deep voice, "Since, grandpa, he is so powerful... Why... Yes... Will it die? ”

"When it comes to your grandfather's martial arts attainments, Shou Yuan can actually be said to be immeasurable. It stands to reason that he will not die a natural death, and the only possibility is that he chooses to die by himself. Alas, it's just that I couldn't go back to China at that time, and I wasn't on the side of (shēn) when your grandfather died, so I don't know the real reason for his departure. Maybe you've grown up, maybe it's his wish, no matter what, it's his own choice, I hope you don't blame him..."

With a "dang chang", Liu Zheng excitedly knocked over the teacup on the table, stood up on the ground, and shouted: "Impossible!" What do you mean I grew up, I was only a teenager at that time! Did his wish come true? Where did Mom and Dad go, and did he find it? ”

His eyes were red, and he yelled hysterically: "I don't believe it, I will definitely find out the reason for his departure!" ”

"Zheng'er, I'm sorry..."

Mrs. Gao stood up with a worried face and wanted to walk over to comfort Liu Zheng, but after taking two steps, she stood cowardly in place: "I only heard about the disappearance of your parents later. In those years, I knew too little about domestic affairs (qíng), and I always thought that with your grandfather taking care of me, nothing would go wrong... It's all the fault of (nǎi) (nǎi). However, I have already sent someone to search for it, and with the energy of the Hand Alliance, I should find something. ”

Liu Zheng looked at Mrs. Gao's overwhelmed appearance, and his heart was sour, and no matter how angry he was, he couldn't vent it. Alas, it's all my own family, what else can I do, my father is her own son, isn't she in a hurry if I'm in a hurry?

"Are the Hand Clans planning to stay in New York for a long time, now that your whereabouts have been exposed, and the decisive battle with Kunlun will come sooner or later, what are you going to do?"

Liu Zheng is very conflicted now, he really doesn't know which side he should belong to. Let's help Kunlun, except for Danny, I haven't seen anyone else in Kunlun, and no one has told him to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors or anything, but no matter what, after all, his ancestral home is Kunlun, and Mrs. Gao has admitted this; But let's talk about the helper association, Liu Zheng really doesn't have a good impression of this organization at all, and it really doesn't conform to his code of conduct to abandon the light and turn to the dark by himself, but... He (nǎi) (nǎi) is also the top leader in this...

Mrs. Gao saw Liu Zheng's entanglement and said with a smile: "The Hand will not stay in New York for too long, but there is still a plan to be implemented before we leave." (nǎi) I hope you don't take the same path as I did, and if you feel that it's hard to get caught in the middle, the best way is for you to leave the United States and go back to Qiantang. ”

"What are you going to do?" Liu Zheng asked vigilantly.

Mrs. Gao shook her head and took a sip of the teacup.

Liu Zheng asked: "I know the grievances between the Hand and the Iron Fist, and every Iron Fist will swear an oath with the goal of defeating the Hand Fist." But Danny is my good friend, and I don't want any more fights between you. ”

Lady Gao sighed: "Danny Rand is not the first person I have met to inherit the mantle of Iron Fist, the other Iron Fists I know are very brave, in order to protect Kunlun, unyielding resistance to foreign invaders, they will never risk being constrained by the Hand to withdraw from the big challenge in order to save a girl's (xìng) life." From this point of view, Danny is indeed a good man, and as long as he doesn't get in our way, I won't hurt him. ”

"But..."

"I've lived a long time and seen the world change. But now the change is even more important. Do you know how many superpowers there are in the United States? The demons of Hell's Kitchen, invulnerable men, mutants, mutants, aliens, and now, there is an iron fist that does not have to guard the gate of Kunlun. This is not a good phenomenon, Zheng'er, something important (qíng) is about to happen, and this big thing, I'm afraid it is not something that ordinary humans can deal with, these superpowers are all born as the times require. Mrs. Gao frowned, worried, "I admit that we have done some bad things, but there are many branches of the Hand Society, and not all of them are evil, I think at this stage, it is not a good time to talk about personal grievances, we should work together." ”

Liu Zheng hurriedly said: "It's useless for you to tell me!" To put it mildly, I can sit idly by and watch what happens to the Hand in the United States and what it has to do with me, but the most important thing now is whether the people of Iron Fist and Kunlun are willing to listen to you, and whether they are willing to make a temporary truce. ”

"I know what to do with this (qíng). If you're okay in the U.S., go back to your home country and, if you can, take your Iron Fist friends with you. ”

"That's impossible, it's rare for Danny to go back to New York, not just for the hand, but also to investigate the plane crash that year." Liu Zheng looked at Mrs. Gao strangely, "And he suspects that you were behind the accident back then." ”

"Everyone knows that planes don't fall for no reason." Mrs. Gao snorted and sneered, "Although it can't be said that it has nothing to do with it, but the mastermind is not a hand, and I never thought of killing his parents." If I really wanted to kill them, I didn't need to fake any plane crashes at all. ”

Her face was a little gloomy: "It was done by a much more dangerous person than me, and in fact, I wanted to persuade him to give up, because I felt it would attract too much unwanted attention." ”

"If it's not you, who else can there be...?" Liu Zheng muttered to himself.

Mrs. Gao scolded: "If you really want to investigate this matter, then use your brains, people who are almost 30 years old, don't be so simple when you think about things (qíng)." If you analyze and analyze, who will benefit most from the death of the Rand family? ”

Liu Zheng pondered for a moment, and the introduction of the RAND Group suddenly flashed in his mind, and he shouted: "It won't be the Meacham family!" ... Harold Meacham? Damn, is it really him! ”

Mrs. Gao smiled coldly, and her slightly narrowed eyes (shè) showed a sharp gaze like a blade.

It seems that this is the truth, Liu Zheng broke out in a cold sweat: "This... It's too ruthless, and Danny has always regarded him as a good uncle! ”

"Hmph, Iron Fist grew up in a secret realm, and it's normal for him to be ignorant of the world. Are you just as naïve as he is when you say such stupid things? ”

Liu Zheng was embarrassed, he found that Mrs. Gao was really a stern old woman.

"Harold Meacham, was he really dead? And then you were resurrected? ”

Mrs. Gao nodded: "Harold was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer back then, and he has a maximum of 2-3 years left to live. We approached him privately, made a deal with him, and he agreed to build an underground pin factory for us in Brooklyn without any thought. But when Danny's father, Wendell Rand, wants to find out about it, Harold fears he'll spoil everything. I still remember the moment he came to me to get the poison, and the thought of killing made him very crazy (rè), that crazy look, hum... I believe that even if we want him to destroy the whole world, he will not hesitate in the slightest. ”

Liu Zheng jumped up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Mrs. Gao: "Wait a minute, is this going to leave?" ”

"I've got to hurry up and warn Danny!"

"More than ten years have passed, and there is no rush at this time." Mrs. Gao stood up slowly, glared at Liu Zheng with disgust, and then said, "The team within the RAND Group has now been destroyed by you, Harold's chess piece is useless to me, if Iron Fist wants to seek revenge on him, just go." After this is done, go to Kunlun or go back to Qiantang, whatever you want, anyway, the farther away from New York, the better. I have important things to do in a while, and I may not have time to take care of yours anymore, and this is my last piece of advice to you. ”

The Hand Club can't return to China because it is wanted by the rivers and lakes, and if we leave, will we never see each other again? Liu Zheng felt a panic in his heart, and his throat seemed to be blocked by something.

Mrs. Gao looked Liu Zheng up and down, and said with a smile: "At least one thing you have done well, that is, to hide the 'power of the dragon', which is well considered, even I have been deceived." After that, you will continue to keep the name 'Luoyang' until you return to China. ”

She took two steps, seemed to remember something, and then turned back and said: "You live alone, you can't do without financial resources, this teahouse will be transferred to your name, and every income here will be credited to your account as foreign exchange in the future, just as a gift from (nǎi) (nǎi) to you." ”

Seeing that Mrs. Gao was about to go downstairs and leave, Liu Zheng hurriedly asked, "Wait a minute... Where are you going? Will we be able to meet again in the future? ”

"Come (rì) Fang Chang, you and I will meet each other by fate." Mrs. Gao walked slowly down the stairs on crutches.

Liu Zheng returned to the table and sat down in the place where Mrs. Gao had sit.

The view here is the best, with a quick view of the Hudson River outside the window. The river is the mother river of New York, and it has seen the city go from desolation to prosperity.

Liu Zheng could see many tourists walking along the river, and the Aircraft Carrier Museum was full of tourists, which made him feel an unreal sense of time and space, as if he had seen the Qiantang River. It is the mother river of my hometown, and it also flows quietly like this, silently looking back at the changes of history.

In this scene, Liu Zheng suddenly remembered a poem he had memorized in high school:

After reading the bitterness of parting at the end of the world, I don't return, and the flowers are as promised.

The bottom of the flowers looked at each other without saying a word, and the green window (chūn) was incompatible with the sky.

To tell the acacia lamp, a wisp of new love, a thousand wisps of old hatred.

The most important thing is that the world can't stay, and Zhu Yan is a flowery tree.

When Mrs. Gao and her grandfather met, they were still in the prime of their lives, but now I don't know how many years have passed, the green silk has become a flowery hair, and the cardamom girl has become a drooping old woman. The husband and wife are separated by one side of the day, and now they can only face the younger generations, reminiscing about the good times of the year.

What is history? The old is gone, and the new is coming.

But the new person will eventually pass away, and only the river in front of him will continue to flow, like a never-ending time, recording everything in front of him, but it seems that nothing remains.
