Chapter 43: The Tiger
"Uncle Li's son ?!!" The old man exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, he is Uncle Li's son who has been missing for sixty years, but he did not disappear at the beginning, but stepped into the source of the dragon vein of the Yellow River in order to protect mankind." Zhang Lao said excitedly.
"You're a cultivator!! Unexpectedly, the passage of time was actually on the face of the cultivator, as if it did not exist. The old man looked at Li Qiang and asked in disbelief.
"After stepping into the source of the dragon vein of the Yellow River, the passage of time is different from that of the outside world, one day inside and one year outside the world." Li Qiang explained.
"Alas, it's hard for you guys, you could have had a good future, but you have lost your best memories." After listening to Li Qiang's narration, the old man said slowly.
"Can you tell me a story about my father?" Li Qiang asked.
"Your father is a hero. Back then, he led a group of us young men to win one battle after another.
I was a small soldier under your father.
In March 1941, when countless enemies swarmed and surrounded our regiment, your father was always at the forefront of the war.
There were so many enemies that we were surrounded by no ammunition, and in the end we ran out of ammunition.
Your father was the first to pick up his bayonet and rush to the forefront of the enemy to fight bloodily. The old man said slowly.
"At that time, we all rushed forward with bayonets in the mindset of mortality, and blood flowed all over the battlefield that day.
Outnumbered, we had no chance of surviving. The old man looked at the tombstones in front of him and said slowly.
"Then why isn't my father's name here?" Li Qiang hurriedly asked.
"In the heat of the battle, a meteor fell from the sky, and at that moment all the enemies were shattered under the meteor.
Your father was right in the middle of the meteor, and it was a strange meteor. It blew up all the enemy, and our regiment, not a single one was damaged.
Your father disappeared under the meteor, and we used our hands to rip up all the dirt in that area, and we didn't even dare to use a metal utensil at the time.
On that day, the hands of all the warriors turned blood-red in the friction of sand and gravel. The old man said slowly.
"By the way, I found a strange note on the ground where your father disappeared." As if he had thought of something, the old man hurriedly said.
"Notes, what notes for me to see." Li Qiang hurriedly asked after hearing this.
"That note is very strange, there is not a trace of depreciation after so many years." After speaking, the old man hurriedly took out a well-preserved note from his cuff.
The note slowly opened, and on it was actually a passage written in the ancient Heavenly Court script——— Breaking the void, swinging yin and yang, long and long heaven and earth, stepping on the road of reincarnation and life and death, will eventually start to fight the Three Realms again!!
Li Qiang looked at this sentence, the font of this sentence was familiar to him, it was his father's note.
"Can you give me this note?" Li Qiang asked the old man.
"This was meant to be handed over to you." The old man said this suddenly.
After saying this, a faint light in the old man's eyes gradually emerged, and then disappeared in an instant.
Li Qiang didn't feel that when the old man said this, there was nothing wrong in his tone.
"Thank you." After Li Qiang took the note, he thanked the old man heavily.
"Alas, the most ruthless is not only the war, but also the old man who is no longer alive." After the old man finished speaking, he picked up the broken bag in his hand and walked away slowly.
"Company commander, don't you want to get drunk with us again?" Lao Zhang looked at the old man's back and said loudly.
"If there is a goodbye, you will not return if you are not drunk." After the old man said this, he disappeared directly at the end of the road.
"Let's go, you still have two days of confinement to close." Zhang Lao said to Li Qiang.
Two days passed quickly, and it was rare for Li Qiang to have such a relaxed world.
And Yu Jing also directly made a reason, and spent two days in the detention center with Li Qiang.
In the past two days, Li Qiang did not practice the Chaos Refining Technique, he found that his state of mind was a little problematic, and he took advantage of this rare rest time to comprehend the Taishang Laojun Vipassana Sutra.
Taishang Laojun's Vipassana Sutra is worthy of being the top method of mind cultivation in the human world, and after only a trace of enlightenment, Li Qiang's restless heart directly became calm.
"You two can go out." The door of the detention center was opened, and in the past two days, they have been giving Li Qiang a lesson in the basic knowledge of today's society, as well as the laws and regulations that cannot be violated.
"Let's go, let's go to the place where I lived when I was a kid." Li Qiang walked out of the guard and said.
"Hmm." Yu Jing simply replied with a word, and then followed Li Qiang.
"Boss, take me to the Qiangle community." Li Qiang casually stopped a moving taxi and said.
The Qiangle community is not too far from here, and in just over ten minutes, Li Qiang and the others have already arrived.
It was very lively outside the community, but Li Qiang did not find a trace of his childhood memories here.
The street is still the same street, but the people are long gone, Li Qiang looked at the towering building, and two lines of tears flowed.
It's a pity that they're long gone, and it's impossible for me to hold my father's hand, happily look at the delicious snacks on the street, and ask about some curious things. Everything in the memory was ruthlessly shattered by the broadsword of the years.
It's gone, everything is gone.
The vicissitudes of life, things are not people. If you want to speak, you will run your nose first...
"As long as you are strong enough in the future, everything will be repeated, what you should do now is cheer up, you are not living for yesterday." Yu Jing took Li Qiang's hand at this moment and said softly.
"So where do I go now?" Although Li Qiang has experienced a lot, his real age is in his twenties.
"Let's go to the source of the Yellow River and take a look, everything starts from there, by the way, also call Liu Jia and the four of them, they should be the same as us now." Yu Jing looked at Li Qiang, who was slightly distracted, and said.
Li Qiang and Yu Jing walked slowly in the crowd like this, and at this moment they had already planned to go to the source of everything———— the source of the Yellow River.
"You're a hadron ???" Li Qiang had just walked not far when suddenly an elderly voice came from behind Li Qiang.
"Are you??" Li Qiang looked at the old man who called him, and he couldn't tell who the other party was.
"It's really you, I didn't expect you to be as young as you were sixty years ago after so long." The old man looked at Li Qiang and said.
"Don't you remember me, I'm a tiger." The old man said excitedly.
"Huzi, it's you!! That Wang Lei, where are Wang Lei's others. Huzi was the first acquaintance Li Qiang had met, and he was surprised to meet Huzi in the vast sea of people.
In this familiar and unfamiliar place, Li Qiang finally saw a trace of the past.
"Wang Lei, he sacrificed." Huzi thought of Wang Lei and couldn't help crying.
"What's going on, how did he die!!" After Li Qiang heard the news, he couldn't help but feel angry. The demonic qi under the Five Elements Mountain shook slightly when Li Qiang was angry.
After you left, Wang Lei found Xiaoyu, and on the night of the wedding, the war started.
Before they had time to live in the cave, Wang Lei directly took the machete beside him to participate in the anti-Japanese war. When he saw Wang Lei again, he was silent, and even all over his body, there was no trace of integrity, Xiaoyu saw Wang Lei's tragic situation, and committed suicide directly on the beam that night. Huzi choked up.
"I hid because I was scared and didn't go to fight. Even when my lover died tragically in front of me, I didn't have the courage to take a step.
I've been living in repentance all these years, I'm a coward, I'm sorry everyone!! Huzi roared loudly, he regretted it at the moment, he regretted his cowardice, but unfortunately he was not qualified to regret it.
"Where is Wang Lei's grave, take me over, I'm going to see him." Li Qiang said to Huzi in a deep voice.
Li Qiang didn't blame Huzi at the moment, everyone will have their own ideas and ideas, Li Qiang can't impose his ideas on anyone, he is just full of disappointment in his heart about what Huzi did.
"You know, you may be the most spineless one among the people I know, your name is Huzi, but you are not a tiger at all, you are a coward!!" Li Qiang walked behind Huzi and couldn't help but speak.
Huzi's forward pace paused, and then walked up slowly, at this moment, he seemed to have become extraordinarily old...
