CHAPTER XXXIV
I saw that the rickety old man slowly raised his head, there was a faint brilliance in his eyes, and even the wrinkles on his face were stretched out little by little, as if Xie Xi's appearance made his whole person refreshed.
Xie Xi was slightly surprised and said, "No, uncle, did you make a mistake?" Quickly helped him up, scratched his head and said, "I'll go, don't kneel, I'm afraid." ”
Being stared at by an uncle with such adoring and expectant eyes, it feels ...... Weird? Xie Xi felt very restrained and tight.
The old man was helped up by him, shook his head slightly, and said, "There will be no mistake." I've been waiting here for a thousand years. Our Water Sect has been destroyed for a thousand years, and it has been dormant for thousands of years, just waiting for you to appear.
Xie Xi and Ling Youyou glanced at each other, but they didn't expect that this old man was actually not an ordinary person, not a member of those villagers, but a person from the Water Sect who had been destroyed by the Fire Sect of the Lingxi Immortal Sect.
"But what does your Water Sect have to do with me?" Xie Xi smiled awkwardly.
yes, I'm just a gamer, how did you get me involved in the script? Moreover, just talk about me, why don't you say that Yoyo is also your young master, and she is also a player!
But the old man's eyes were obviously only staring at Xie Xi.
The old man smiled slightly and said, "Our previous sect master is proficient in the Heavenly Eye Calculation, and can get a glimpse of the past and the future. Back then, the Fire Sect was in turmoil, and the Water Sect was almost destroyed. But the sect master has never hesitated, he made it clear to us that everything is a doomed catastrophe for the Water Sect, and after a thousand years, there will be a young man dressed in strange clothes and barefoot to come to the Divine Fire Peak, when I see him, lead him to the secret stone room where the sect master once lived, and he will understand what all this is all about. ”
"I've been hiding from the Fire Sect for all these years, and I'm afraid of missing you who came to Shenhuo Peak and don't dare to leave Shenhuo Peak. So I've been hiding in the Pine Pavilion, in this stone room. But sometimes I worry that hiding here all the time will not be the solution? What if you're somewhere else on Shenhuo Peak? What if you can't find it? I wanted to go out and look for it, but I didn't dare after all. But...... After all, there is a destiny in the dark, and you are still here. ”
Bizarre dress? Barefoot?
Xie Xi was stunned. The old man and Ling Youyou looked at him together.
Oh, yes. He was indeed barefoot, because his shoes were too cheap, and when he was chased by the fish monster species, they were all rotten, so he simply threw them away, and later upgraded to Lv1, and his whole body was really flowing, and it didn't hurt to step on the ground with his bare feet, so he simply never wore shoes again.
And the fancy costume, it's even funnier, this is his original school uniform, in the game world of Xiuzhen, can it not be fancy dress? Wait, Yoyo? He looked at Ling Youyou, Ling Youyou's clothes were all soaked because he had fled for his life and fell into the water at that time, and later took a set of wide-sleeved flowing fairy skirts from Penguin Pianpiao, which was indeed the style of the pure cultivation world......
Also, Fang Ling and Xia Wei, because they were led to the Divine Fire Peak by Fang Mian, they also got the clothes issued by the Lingxi Immortal Sect, a uniform white robe, and a golden Tai Chi mark embroidered on their chests......
Speaking of which, it seems that of all the players who entered, it seems that I am really the only one in fancy dress......?
That's too much of a coincidence, isn't it?
Xie Xi was stunned and speechless.
The old man had already said happily: "There will be no more mistakes, you are exactly the same as the sect master predicted." ”
Xie Xi spread his hands: "Okay, okay, then I'm the young master you said." Then what did your previous sect master prophesy about me? ”
The old man bowed slightly, "Yes." Young master, please wait. Suddenly turned to a room next to him, went to the corner and searched for a while, took out a dusty wooden box, and held it in front of Xie Xi with both hands.
The wooden box can be seen to be made of solid wood, heavy, reinforced with steel corners around it, and has exquisite and simple patterns on the outside.
Xie Xi looked at the wooden box curiously and said, "Is there anything in here?" ”
The old man shook his head and said, "The old slave doesn't know either. Sect Master, he, only let me hand this over to the young master when the time comes, you will naturally understand everything after you have seen it. The old slave has guarded this box all these years and has never opened it. ”
Ling Youyou said: "Then let's open it and see." ”
Xie Xi nodded, took the wooden box from the old man's hand, and slowly opened it.
The moment it was opened, Xie Xi's heartbeat suddenly leaked, and his pitch-black pupils couldn't help but dilate suddenly. Even Ling Youyou couldn't help but be surprised: "This is ......"
I saw that inside the wooden box, the top was a yellowed photo. In that photo, a family of four gathered neatly. Two children sat in front, a boy and a girl, the girl was a little taller than the boy, and the boy secretly looked at the girl, and his eyes seemed to be bright again; Two adults, a man and a woman, stood behind the two children, holding hands, looking at them, smiling, gentle and kind.
Xie Xi couldn't hold back any longer, and his whole person trembled slightly as if he had been struck by lightning.
A group photo of that warm and beautiful family photo......
The one who once gave him a warm home for the orphans......
"Auntie...... Uncle...... Sister Su Lu ...... "He stretched out his finger and gently rubbed the cheeks of each of them one by one in the photo, as if touching those gentle years.
"Let's go", a teardrop the size of a bean fell on the yellowed photo, and then drop after drop......
Ling Youyou saw that Xie Xi saw the photo, and suddenly her expression changed, she immediately glanced at the photo, and instantly guessed the reason, extremely distressed, and hurriedly stretched out her hand and gently patted Xie Xi's back: "Good, good, don't cry, you must ...... There must be some reason......" In fact, she didn't know much about the cause and effect, she just comforted indiscriminately, but her tone was full of tenderness and thoughtfulness.
Ling Youyou looked at the old man, slightly angry, as if a little strange old man made Xie Xi cry, and suddenly sighed, and said, "Let me ask you, what is the name of your sect master?" ”
"Su Qiutang."
Sure enough, everything fell out in series. It's right to think about it, who else could the sect master of the Water Sect be? I don't even think about it now.
Xie Xi sighed slightly, already calming down. It's not that he's weak, but he's always attached importance to feelings, and the people in the photo are the ones who give him the purest and most beautiful feelings.
Put away your photos and put them in your pocket. He saw another letter under the box.
Xie Xi slowly unfolded the letter, and his uncle's familiar handwriting immediately came to his face:
"Xie Xi, long time no see."
"Forgive me and your aunt for choosing to say goodbye without saying goodbye and then meet you again in this way. I don't know how long it will take you to see this letter, how old you should be by this time? Will it be as tall as me? I wonder if you have eaten well, slept well, studied well, and played well? Got into the best high school? Have you got a girlfriend? There are so many things I want to ask you, but I may not be able to hear your answers. From now on, I will never be able to appear in your and Su Lu's lives again, and I will no longer be able to take care of you, which is the biggest regret of my life and that of your aunt. ”
"But all this is for you to live, so that you can live healthy and happy."
