Chapter 175: Who wasn't an ignorant young man back then?
Gu Qingniao, Yu Jing and Yu Jie looked at each other, they really didn't know how to express their feelings, they felt that they might have guessed wrong, but they found Li Huangyao's home if they were wrong, maybe they didn't think so, but what was the situation with Li Huangyao?
After thinking about it, they decided to take a look first, so they walked into Li Xiaoyao's house. Because the courtyard of his house is really completely unguarded, there are no two gates, and he can't find a place to knock on the door, so he can only push the door directly in, and then he saw Li Xiaoyao who was cooking in the yard.
The devil knows how he cooked the rice with that honest stove, Gu Qingniao hadn't even seen such a primitive way of cooking for a long time, especially after going to college and following Lanling, the nature of the encounter was high-end cuisine.
Seeing the ancient blue bird and them enter the courtyard gate, Li Xiaoyao was still a little surprised, and said, "How did you find here?" ”
Yu Jing opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything, just asked, "Are you from here?" Didn't you say you were from Kunlun Mountain? ”
Li Xiaoyao threw a straw into the stove and said: "I am from Kunlun Mountain, but not all the people on Kunlun Mountain were born on Kunlun Mountain, I spent it here before I was ten years old, and my parents died in an accident when I was ten years old. ”
"You're in luck." Yu Jing rolled her eyes and said, obviously not wanting to give Li Xiaoyao a good look.
Li Xiaoyao brought them a few benches and said, "There is no other place to sit at home, you can make do with it first." ”
Gu Qingniao and they sat down, Li Xiaoyao continued to burn the fire, and said: "I'm not lucky, in fact, there are many people in the village who have gone out with people to learn skills, all of them are about the same age as me, at that time, many Xuanmen people came here to find out the secret of the hundred-year bounty, but after no one was able to solve it, I couldn't help but feel a little depressed." Many of us, the people who guard the stele, must also be related to the masters who left the stele in the first place, so we like to accept some people here as apprentices, and want to see if there is any chance to learn the secret of the hundred-year bounty. It's a pity that the talents here are not very good, and it is much harder to learn the Xuanmen spell, and many people can't stand being too much worse than others in the master's class, just like an imbecile, so they ran back home. The masters who accepted them as apprentices also felt that they couldn't get any clues from them, so they put them back, and after they came back, they continued to guard the ancestral hall, and they didn't learn any skills at all. ”
"But why didn't you run out?" Gu Bluebird asked.
Li Xiaoyao smiled: "I'm a person without parents, even if I run out at that age, where can I go?" I can only survive with the master, so although I was not talented at that time, but I was the most diligent one, the master admired me very much, but he didn't know that the reason why the other brothers were not as talented as me was diligent and hardworking, just because they at least had a future to look forward to, if I didn't work hard, I would starve to death, where is the future? Not to mention what to expect. So my wish since I was a child is to learn the skills, solve the hundred-year bounty, get such a large amount of money, and then live a carefree life, I don't want to live that kind of desperate life for the future, I want to find a life where I can choose what kind of future I should choose. ”
"So you came here a few years ago to solve the hundred-year bounty, and then you found that you couldn't see what secrets were on the stone tablet, so you were in a pretty bad mood, and you went to find Yu Jing's grandmother and wanted to solve the ......" Gu Qingniao said this, seeing Yu Jing and Yu Jie's faces, he didn't continue.
Li Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment and said, "You misunderstood, it wasn't for this reason that I went to find Ling Zu at that time, although it also has a certain relationship. ”
After listening to Li Xiaoyao's explanation, they knew what kind of problem Li Xiaoyao was facing at that time, even if this problem was placed on them, they might not be able to do better than Li Xiaoyao, so they were a little relieved.
It turned out that Li Xiaoyao's master took him up the mountain with the same idea as others, wanting to find a little bit of something related to the stone tablet from these people who guarded the stone stele, and then his friends and their apprentices gave up one after another, only Li Xiaoyao was still insisting, which made his master think that Li Xiaoyao was the one who was destined to solve the problem of the stone stele.
Therefore, in normal times, when the master was teaching Li Huangyao, he was more strict and serious than other people, and his requirements for Li Huangyao were even higher.
As a result, the master regarded Li Xiaoyao more and more as the person who was destined to be, and felt that he must be the person sent by God to end this century-old unsolved case. And young people at that age are easily influenced by the outside world. Therefore, Li Xiaoyao has been instilled with this idea by his master since he was a child, thinking that he is the person destined by God, plus he is in Kunlun, his status is very high, and he is almost the highest level apprentice in the Xuanmen, so this idea is even more deep-rooted, so he has always believed that if he can learn to go down the mountain, he will definitely be able to solve the hundred-year bounty and crack the secret on the stone tablet.
Although they don't know where this ** self-confidence comes from, that's how they believe it.
Just a few years ago, when Li Xiaoyao was an adult, Li Xiaoyao's master finally reached the limit of life, and he told Li Xiaoyao before he died, so that she must go down the mountain, solve the century-old unsolved case, give them a long face, and let those who returned back with feathers see who is the most powerful person in Kunlun Mountain, and what inheritance is the most powerful inheritance in Kunlun Mountain.
Li Xiaoyao was full of confidence, took his master's last wish and his own hope down the mountain, and then returned to the village, but he encountered the same result as other Xuanmen acquaintances, and he could not solve the problem on the stone tablet at all. Not to mention that it was solved, he was exactly the same as everyone else, and he couldn't see what was wrong with the stele at all.
This blow caught Li Xiaoyao a little off guard, he always believed that he was the person destined by God, he was the person who was destined to solve the problems on the stone tablet, and after he went down the mountain, he would definitely be able to end this miserable reward, and he would definitely be able to live the life he wanted.
He didn't even leave a way back for himself, and planned to settle the bounty like this, and then start a new life with the money.
But he found that everything he had learned, everything he had insisted on, was false. He is not the person he is destined to be, and he can't solve the problem of this bounty, let alone live the life he wants, and he can't even go back to his previous life.
So his beliefs, the meaning of his life all these years, were mercilessly shattered by the cruel reality, and there was nothing left. How should a teenager who has just come of age receive it? So he was in a state of confusion, living casually in the village, not knowing where he should go.
Finally, one day, he felt that he couldn't stand it anymore, and he felt that he should find a place to solve his problems, so he walked out of his yard, out of the village, and came to Yu City, wanting to see the outside world, to see how people outside live, to find a little hope, hoping to find another purpose to live.
But he still hasn't found it, looking at the high-rise buildings, he is a little dazed, he doesn't know such a world at all, he is at a loss in such a world, not to mention, he has no money at all, he can only rely on a little ability, earn a little money on the street, and use it to buy food.
This kind of life makes Li Xiaoyao feel sad, and now even the skills he has cultivated for so many years in order to survive are useless, and not many people are even willing to believe that his skills are real, and the business they bring is like a kind of charity.
Li felt like a beggar, wandering around the cold city.
Suddenly, one day, he came to a bazaar, and found that it was full of real and false Xuanmen people, so he was very happy to go in and ask for help, and wanted to find a few people who were willing to believe in him, but he was despised and laughed at by many people.
The people here are all here for profit, and unreasonable things can't get into their eyes at all, and Li Xiaoyao obviously has no interests. He was wearing shabby clothes, and at a glance he knew that he was a person who had been starving for many days, where are there such people in the Xuanmen now? They were not at all interested in his origins, saying that he was from Kunlun Mountain, and that he could only be ridiculed for his tattered image, so his self-esteem was completely shattered.
He began to lose hope in life, began to lose his purpose, did not know why he came here and where he was going, he himself was very confused and helpless.
Finally one day, he heard that there was a Xuanmen person in Yu City who was specifically looking for a way out for the confused, he was elated, but he was afraid that his image would bring trouble to him again, so he made money on the street, and after saving for a long time, he changed his clothes, and then found Yu Jing's grandmother.
But it's a pity, because his affairs involve too many things, involving stone tablets, involving Kunlun, and even involving the meaning of a person's existence, grandma has no way to see the fog in his fate, and even in order to let him find a little hope, he almost collapsed.
