Under the leadership of a maid, Xia Qing didn't take long to meet the old lady.

The old lady was sick and had been lying in bed for more than two months, so thin that she was only a skeleton and haggard. But before Xia Qing entered the door, he heard Xia Qing's footsteps, "Qing'er, are you back......?"

"Grandma. ”

Xia Qing rushed forward with an arrow step, looking at the skinny old lady, her eyes turned red all of a sudden, "Grandma, why are you sick?"

"Silly boy, how can there be an old man who doesn't get sick. ”

The old lady stretched out her hand from the quilt, maybe she was too sick, her hand was trembling all the time, and she stroked Xia Qing's face hard, "Qing'er, I'm sorry, grandma is sorry for you......"

The old lady, who had always been strong, suddenly cried, stroking Xia Qing's still immature face, and two lines of turbid tears flowed down her face.

When Xia Qing was forced to leave Xia Wangfu and go to Wuzhou, her heart was broken, and as soon as Xia Qing left on her front foot, she fell ill. If Xia Qing died on the road, she couldn't forgive herself if she died. If you want to achieve great things, you must pay a price, she understands the reason, but thinking that Xia Qing is likely to die halfway because of this, her heart seems to have been cut, "Qing'er, I'm sorry......"

"Grandma, I'm fine, I'm back. ”

Xia Qing understood what the old lady meant, and did not have the slightest thought of blame. The sudden defeat of the father and the king is very momentary, someone must stand up to stabilize the situation and lead away the major families and demons who are secretly about to move, he understands the old lady's distress. If he could turn back the clock and do it all over again, he wouldn't regret it.

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back......" The old lady held Xia Qing's hand tightly, as if Xia Qing was about to disappear as soon as she let go, and after a while, she looked at Shi Xuanxuan who was standing behind Xia Qing.

Xia Qing stretched out her hand and pulled Shi Xuanxuan over, "Grandma, this is Shi Xuanxuan I met on the way to Wuzhou, and it is thanks to her protection that I arrived safely at Bijia Mountain in Wuzhou." ”

"Shi Xuanxuan, good, this name is good. ”

The old lady smiled, looked at Shi Xuanxuan, who was a head taller than Xia Qing, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, took off the bracelet she had worn for decades and handed it to Shi Xuanxuan, "Miss Xuanxuan, I've worked hard for you, Qing'er is not sensible, you should be more responsible in the future." The female is three years old and holds the gold brick, originally, the old body thought that it was time for Qing'er to Zhang Luo, find him a more mature girl, and let him settle down as soon as possible. With Miss Xuanxuan, the old body doesn't have to worry about it anymore, and ...... in the future."

"Grandma, what are you talking about?" Xia Qing interrupted the old lady.

Shi Xuanxuan's face turned even redder, and she took the bracelet handed over by the old lady, "Thank you, grandma." ”

"Thank you, come, girl, sit next to grandma. ”

Looking at the sensible Shi Xuanxuan, the old lady liked it more, and asked Shi Xuanxuan to sit next to her, and the two parents chatted briefly, but left Xia Qing aside.

It was rare for the old lady to be so happy, Xia Qing didn't bother the two of them and quietly retreated. was about to go to find his eldest brother Xia Yuanba, when he suddenly saw a man in a green robe standing in the courtyard looking at him with a smile, calm and peaceful, it was Mr. Shuijing, who lived in a simple house on weekdays.

Xia Qing quickly greeted him, he hadn't paid much attention to Mr. Shui Jing before, but on the way to Wuzhou, he knew through the butler Zhao that Mr. Shui Jing was not an ordinary person, so he bowed and saluted, "I don't know that Mr. is here, Xia Qing is rude." ”

"Hehe, it's a lot of courtesy. ”

Mr. Shui Jing stretched out his hand to help Xia Qing up and asked, "Little Master just came back?"

"Well, just arrived. Xia Qing replied.

"The spirit is good, if you are not tired, just accompany me, the old man. Mr. Shui Jing glanced Xia Qing up and down, his eyes were also calm, it was obviously the first time the two had talked, but it gave people a sense of intimacy that they had known each other for many years.

"Okay, I'm just going to ask Mr. Duoduo for advice. ”

Of course, Xia Qing would not refuse, and walked slowly around the courtyard with Mr. Shui Jing.

Mr. Shui Jing didn't speak, it seemed that he was really just walking casually, and slowly, the two came to a bamboo forest.

Autumn is coming, and the Xia Wangfu is a little cold at night.

Mr. Shui Jing only wears a thin robe, and it seems that it will always be enough to wear one piece of clothing, whether it is summer or winter. Walking to the edge of the lake in the bamboo forest, Mr. Shui Jing suddenly stopped and looked at the lake in a daze.

Xia Qing was silent, not understanding what Mr. Shui Jing meant, and stood quietly beside him.

After a long while, Mr. Shui Jing broke the silence, "Little Master, how is the scenery here?"

"Average. Xia Qing replied.

"Little master, you are too modest, the scenery here is not ordinary, but very good. At least in Fufeng City, there is no place more peaceful and elegant than this. You see, the bamboo forest is swaying, the lake water is clear, and the reflection of the bamboo forest in the water alone is fascinating. Mr. Shui Jing was full of praise, he has been in the Xia Wangfu for so many years, and his favorite is this bamboo forest, "Little master, isn't the scenery here beautiful enough?"

Xia Qing didn't understand what Mr. Shui Jing meant even more, stared at the reflection of the bamboo forest in the water, and said, "It's beautiful." ”

Mr. Shui Jing waved his sleeves, "And now?"

The calm surface of the lake suddenly sparkled, and the reflection of the bamboo forest distorted, losing the serene beauty of before.

Xia Qing shook his head, "It's no longer good to talk about whether it's good or not, I can't see it clearly." ”

"Well, such a beautiful reflection of the bamboo forest, if you say no, it's gone. ”

Mr. Shuijing nodded, walked away, and stepped onto a bamboo forest path.

Xia Qing's heart moved, and he felt that Mr. Shui Jing had something to say, which seemed to be hinting at something, and he remembered the bustling night market outside. In the eyes of ordinary people, Fufeng City is prosperous and powerful, and it is the most prosperous place in Yan Kingdom, but this prosperity is fragile and depends on the support of the Xia Wangfu. Once the Xia Wangfu can't hold on, the alien iron cavalry will rush in, and when the time comes, I am afraid that the blood will flow like a river, and the once prosperous will collapse in an instant.

Xia Qing's heart gradually sank, knowing that Mr. Shui Jing was very likely to foresee something, so he chased after him and humbly asked, "Xia Qing is stupid, please teach me, how can I defend Xia Wangfu and Yan Kingdom?"

"Little Master, do you believe in fate?" asked Mr. Shui Jing rhetorically.

"This, I...... I don't know. Xia Qing told the truth, fate was too ethereal for him.

Mr. Shui Jing's eyes were bright, and he did not despise Xia Qing's ignorance, but appreciated his honesty, "The bamboo forest and the lake are right in front of you, everyone likes them, but there are fewer who like fate, and even, few people really believe it." It is not surprising that everyone believes in their own eyes, and what they can't see thinks they don't exist. Little master, tell me, what's around?"

"There's bamboo, there's water, there's ...... , and slate and fish ......" Xia Qing counted them one by one, but soon there was nothing to say.

"With your heavenly eyes, take another look. Mr. Shui Jing reminded.

Xia Qingmei's heart beats, he opened his demon pupils, and a faint purple light shone out, and sure enough, he saw something that couldn't be seen with the naked eye, "Well, there is fog, and there is water vapor ......"

Mr. Shui Jing suddenly stretched out a finger and tapped it lightly on Xia Qing's forehead, "Little Master, look again." ”

The purple light was masterpiece, and Xia Qing's demon pupils seemed to have suddenly transformed to a higher level, and a boundless huge net appeared in his eyes. Where there are people, there is a point of light, which is constantly beating bright or dark, and when everyone's point of light is connected, it becomes a huge net.

"This is the life-track skynet, the point of light is a person, and the position, brightness and beating speed of each point of light in the life-track skynet are the fate of a person. Mr. Shui Jing was still so calm, and his voice slowly sounded in Xia Qing's ears.

Xia Qing didn't answer, he was shocked by the huge destiny track skynet, and in an instant, it seemed that he had gone back in time to the Linglong Immortal Palace and saw the bright map of the Immortal Kingdom of the Galaxy. In a trance, I felt that the Destiny Orbit Skynet and the Immortal Kingdom map overlapped, and they seemed to be exactly the same.

Xia Qing was lost, and his mind was lost in fate and the Gu Immortal Kingdom.
