Chapter 520: Generosity
In the past, Zhao Guang had only heard a few words from Li Ji's dream words, and coupled with his own guesses, he barely sketched the appearance of that story.
But at this time, listening to Li Ji speak quietly, he realized that it was a more thrilling and even more speechless story.
"I now finally know why you changed your surname to Li in the future." Zhao Guang looked at Li Ji and said quietly, "Because she said her surname is Li." ”
Li Ji smiled and did not refute his words.
Zhao Guang looked at the man in front of him with a complicated expression.
Nine years ago, Li Ji was not surnamed Li.
And he's not a cultivator.
The reason why Zhao Guang was sure that Li Ji was not a cultivation genius was because Li Ji's awakening was too late.
Innate cultivators generally awaken around the age of five, and those who do not awaken at the age of eight can be thrown out as waste.
Who would have thought that Li Ji, who is now the most promising person in the realm of Dongwu to take over the position of the Great Immortal Official, was such a "waste" at the beginning.
Because the family they came from was more taboo than ordinary people to give birth to waste, he had never seen this brother before Li Ji woke up, and only heard that in the depths of the house, such a freak was hidden.
Li Ji's situation was more complicated than that of ordinary people who could not awaken, because although he had not been able to awaken, he could always see things that others could not see, and even the flow of true yuan in high-level cultivators, so he was more and more respected as a freak.
But in fact, after getting along with the former Qin princess in the past few months, Zhao Guang felt that Li Ji's situation back then might not be strange......
After all, that former Qin princess can become a cultivator the day after tomorrow, and before becoming a cultivator, Zhao Guang felt that the woman seemed to be able to see things that ordinary people couldn't see......
Before meeting the young man named Guichen, Zhao Guang never thought that someone could awaken at the age of seventeen or eighteen......
It's a pity that no one knew that there was such a character back then.
In short, before the pair of master and servant appeared, in their house, Li Ji was absolutely despised. Although he himself lost his mother at a young age and was bullied since he was a child, he has seen his mother anyway.
Zhao Guang stared at the man in front of him.
But Li Ji's mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to him.
Because his talent was too low to be favored by his father, and because he was regarded as a freak by his subordinates because of his strange behavior, Zhao Guang couldn't imagine what kind of life his brother had before he was twelve years old.
And all this ended when Li Ji was twelve years old.
No one expected that the son, who was left behind in the depths of the house and no one cared about, suddenly woke up at the age of twelve.
Zhao Guang took a deep breath.
This incident was very famous in their family, just because Li Ji was not only awakened at that time, but the level of awakening was quite high.
Although it is not as good as that young master, it should be quite sensational.
Li Ji's experience is actually a bit similar to Emperor Taizu and His Royal Highness the Second Southern Chu.
It's all from being unnoticed until being suddenly discovered.
Now everyone finally remembered that there was still such a person.
But unlike Emperor Taizu and Jiang Yuanyuan. The awakening at the age of twelve did not mean the beginning of a new bright future, but the beginning of a new nightmare.
If he hadn't met that woman.
"I don't remember who it is," Li Ji looked at Zhao Guang and said lightly, "Nine years ago, I was hunted down. All the way into the Cloud Forest. ”
Zhao Guang's heart lifted up when he heard this.
He knew it. When Li Ji suddenly disappeared from the house, some people wondered if he had been taken away.
Shenyin is just a statement to cover up to the outside world, and it sounds good, but in fact it is just to cover up the dereliction of duty of the people in the house.
But he didn't expect the truth of the matter to be so real.
Real and brutal.
Zhao Guang looked at the man who was now understated, if he didn't know so much information, maybe he was bluffed.
The truth could only be more brutal.
The Cloud Forest was not ordinary far from their house, and Zhao Guang didn't know how the twelve-year-old kid had fled all the way there alone.
It is enough to prove that there is really no way to escape.
When he was a child, that forest was a complete forest of death in the eyes of the people of Eastern Wu.
For a twelve-year-old child, escaping into it is also a dead end.
And Li Ji chose such a path.
"What did you think at the time, you actually ran away there......" Zhao Guang muttered.
"I thought at the time, even if I died, I would drag those people who chased me to die together," Li Ji said lightly.
It's that simple.
But he didn't expect that the path of death he chose in despair would bring him a new life.
He still miscalculated back then, but he didn't expect that those people were not afraid of the Cloud Forest, shouting that as long as they ate him, they would be able to get out of the forest.
Eat.
Li Ji closed his eyes.
And just as he was about to be eaten alive, he met the man he would never forget.
"She killed those people and saved me," Li Ji looked at Zhao Guangdao, "and then took me in." ”
He was seriously injured at the time, but the woman did not dislike it at all, and did not want to possess the "things" on his body that those people coveted, but simply carried him back to her own home.
At that time, he was surprised to find that the woman actually lived in the cloud forest, which was known for its danger.
After that, the story is simple.
They lived together for a year, and it was the happiest time he can remember. But one early morning eight years ago, Li Zhao said that she had something to do out of the forest, and left in a hurry.
"But she didn't come back." Li Ji looked at Zhao Guang, who was looking at him in astonishment, and spoke quietly.
He waited and waited at home, and never waited for the woman's figure again.
is obviously such a flat and straightforward narrative, but Zhao Guang feels a pain in his heart when he listens to it for some reason, obviously it is not something that happened to him.
The calmer Li Ji's voice recounted, the more panicked Zhao Guang's heart became.
The depth of the still water flow.
"I really can't wait, so I went out of the forest to look for her," Li Ji said, but the next moment Zhao Guang's eyes widened, and he saw that the person in front of him held his forehead, as if he suddenly had an unbearable headache.
"As soon as I stepped out of the woods, I saw only corpses all over the ground." Li Ji's breath became rapid, as if he remembered some picture that he didn't want to think about for the rest of his life.
"And then ......"
He said with difficulty, "Shao Si ordered to kill someone." ”
"Shao Si ordered to kill someone!" This piercing scream sounded in Li Ji's ears again, making his face pale and sweating coldly.
In the sea of corpses and blood, this voice just rang out again and again.
Countless times sounded in his nightmares.
"Shao Si ordered to kill someone!"
"Second brother!" Sensing that the emotional state of the person in front of him was wrong, Zhao Guang suddenly stepped forward to support Li Ji, "Don't think about it, how are you going to do that thing!" ”
Li Ji took a deep breath, looked up at Zhao Guang and smiled, "I'm fine." ”
"But I must find that woman," Li Ji straightened up, "I don't have to kill her, but I must at least be qualified to be able to talk to Miko." ”
"I'm going to ask that person," Li Ji gritted his teeth, "why did you kill her." ”
Kill the best person in his heart.
"Qualifications for dialogue ......" Feeling the true yuan surging in Li Ji's body, Zhao Guang gasped.
After listening to Li Ji's story, he had already realized that Li Ji's determination was impossible to shake, and there was only a trace of luck in his heart.
"I see what you mean, second brother," he stammered, "but you've been preparing for seven years, so why rush at this time?" Why does it have to be at this time? You wait, do a little more preparation......"
After all, what Li Ji wanted to do was too dangerous, and he couldn't be too prepared.
"Why do you have to do it at this time?" However, hearing his words, Li Ji looked at him quietly and suddenly spoke softly.
"Ah Guang, you know what? I can't remember what she looked like. ”
This is a very light sentence, but it is like a boulder hitting Zhao Guangxin.
"Second brother, could it be said that your soul has been lost ......" he opened his voice, but he didn't know what to say.
Mind.
If a person really has a soul, then the soul is the soul that belongs exclusively to the practitioner.
A cultivator of the fifth level will begin to possess a divine soul, which contains the practitioner's memories of the cultivation and the most precious memories for that practitioner.
However, Li Ji's soul was once seriously damaged in the battle with the Divine Son, and it was constantly being lost due to sequelae.
But Zhao Guang never expected that Li Ji's soul loss disorder was already so serious.
The cruelest thing in this world is not to let a person die, but to make a person constantly forget the most unforgettable things while he is alive.
At this time, Zhao Guang finally understood what Li Ji meant while I still remembered, why this person had been stubborn for so long, and today he was suddenly willing to tell him about the person and those things he hid in his heart.
"Ah Guang, if I forget one day, you must tell me her name and these things again," Li Ji looked at Zhao Guang, who understood, and smiled, "I remember that you have a good memory." ”
"Well, surely, I have a much better memory than you," Zhao Guang felt that the smile on his face at this time was probably more ugly than crying.
"Ah Guang, you know now, I don't have time to wait any longer." Li Ji looked at him and said quietly, "The injuries caused by a realm can only be recovered if they reach a similar realm. ”
So he had no choice but to give it a go.
For her, and for him, he never wants to forget.
"But can you really succeed in this? Is it worth it for you to ride yourself like this for the rest of your life? Looking at the man in front of him who had already made up his mind, Zhao Guang couldn't help crying.
"It's not a question of whether it's worth it or not, it's just that I want to do it."
Li Ji stretched out his hand and suddenly touched his head.
"It's like I've never regretted being a brother to you."
Zhao Guang was completely stunned when he heard this, but he saw that the man in front of him suddenly looked at the sword in his hand.
"I'm the one who embarrassed you, although I can't pull out this sword, but you are a wind magician, you can pull it out."
Zhao Guang was stunned and looked at the sword wrapped in cloth strips in his hand.
"If I fail, you must kill me with this sword," Li Ji looked at him, took off the mask on his face, and smiled at him.
"I don't want to be a madman who hurts people."
Even if it was death, he would go to see her innocently.
"I'm leaving, Ah Guang, I'll leave the rest to you."
After speaking, Li Ji turned around and walked to the depths of the forest without hesitation.
A majestic aura rushed to the sky from every step he took, and looking at the back and the light gradually shining on his body, Zhao Guang clenched the sword in his hand.
Ah Guang, I can't remember what she looks like.
Li Ji's voice echoed in his ears.
Just for the sake of a vague shadow, this brother of his is willing to chase after the old man to the end of the world.
This is the life his brother chose.
I wish one person to be generous for the rest of my life.
And tonight, he'll put everything he has on his sleeve again.
Storm the Sky Ladder.
