Chapter 345: The Old Man
What Liang Xiao couldn't figure out, Gu Ke couldn't figure it out, so he could only watch Liang Xiao wait for him to come back to his senses.
"Ahh Liang Xiao didn't know what he was thinking, he suddenly looked at Gu Ke in surprise, and asked in disbelief, "You actually let the cormorant recognize the lord first?" ”
"Cormorant?" Gu Ke looked confused.
"Legend has it that the dark purple color of the cormorant is actually black in the human eye, symbolizing steadfastness, which can drive away all evil things and ward off disasters." Liang Xiao explained: "You said that the one who was suppressed should be the red Vermilion Bird, but later people often thought that the Vermilion Bird was one of the four elephants in traditional Chinese culture and could not be confused with the Phoenix, but in some of the materials we studied before, it really mentioned the matter of the five-colored Phoenix, maybe this Vermilion Bird is not the other Vermilion Bird." ”
"I don't know why, it's very powerful, but it's very murderous." Gu Ke shook his head and asked with some puzzlement: "Teacher, then should we understand it according to common sense or what?" ”
"Since the ancients put forward the five-colored phoenix, it can be seen that they think that the phoenix is not a single bird, but a general type of bird." Liang Xiao explained: "The Vermilion Bird can be regarded as a branch of the phoenix, which was once known as the god of the south, that is, the phoenix bird that is limited to the fire in the south. ”
"If the dust beads are sealed by cormorants, then it can explain why the dust beads are black." Gu Ke blinked and said in confusion: "But why do you want to suppress Suzaku?" ”
"It is said that the Suzaku is the most beautiful of the descendants of the phoenix, with fiery red feathers, a slender neck, a graceful posture when dancing, and can control flames, but its appearance is gentle and beautiful, but its personality is completely opposite." Liang Xiao continued: "Later, Taoists continued to interpret and deepen the Vermilion Bird, and slowly turned into a human form, and later called it the Nine Heavens Xuannu. ”
"Teacher, what did you find in Nanyu Kingdom?" Gu Ke didn't know the reason why Suzaku was sealed, so he changed the topic, and wondered what clues could there be in the ruins of Nanyu Kingdom?
"We were there, saving your mother." Liang Xiao looked at Gu Ke and said word by word: "Legend has it that the Nanyu country is the holy land of the Feng clan, and according to the habits of the Feng clan, a floating country was established on the Nanyu Mountain, and the four sides supported the Nanyu country is the plane tree that exists in ten thousand years, but then I don't know what happened, all of them were buried under the yellow sand, and the people of the Feng clan scattered and fled, and only the emperor of the Feng clan was still guarding there." ”
"My mother, she is a descendant of the Feng clan." Gu Ke actually had a guess in her heart about this, but this was the first time someone had mentioned this matter in front of her.
"Your mother is the emperor of the Feng clan." Liang Xiao was a little distracted, looked at Gu Ke as if he saw her mother again, and said in a low voice: "It's a pity, we were all careless, your father and I had good intentions, hoping to take her out of there, because the Nanyu Kingdom is gone, and there is no point in holding on any longer, and we promised not to reveal her identity, but we didn't expect ......"
"Gu Tianen has actually been sending people to follow you, right?" Gu Ke narrowed his eyes, as if he had guessed something, "He destroyed the ruins of the Nanyu Kingdom?" ”
"We were actually lost ourselves, so if it wasn't for your mother, we wouldn't have been able to get out." Liang Xiao said a little dejectedly: "As a result, as soon as your mother took us out of that ruins, she was stopped by Gu Tianen's people, and they forced your mother to hand over the dust beads, and my face ...... That's when they threatened your mom to stay. ”
Gu Ke paused slightly.
He didn't think that Liang Xiao's face was actually caused by those people in the Gu family.
"It's a pity that their actions completely angered your mother, she urged the dust beads, and the yellow sand hit the sky, and all the sins were buried there." Liang Xiao looked at Gu Ke and said with some fluctuating emotions: "Actually, Qin Youbai's parents just wanted to protect us, and they had a conflict with those people sent by the Gu family, and finally ......."
"Gu Tianen can't be that powerful." Gu Ke looked at Liang Xiao and said word by word: "In addition to the Gu family, there are other people, right?" ”
"The Yun family is also involved." Liang Xiao didn't expect Gu Ke to be so keen, so he took a deep breath and said: "They blindfolded us at that time, thinking that we didn't know who they were, but I heard their conversation, so I knew that it was related to the Yun family, that kid in Yunye...... His father died there, and he was cursed by your mother. ”
Gu Ke suddenly wanted to laugh.
Yunye's father and the Gu family once wanted to harm their mother, but they were cursed, but after many years, they actually helped Yunye lift the curse, is this also destined in the dark?
"After the sand, everyone died, but I was the only one who survived." Liang Xiao said lightly: "Those people are all buried under the yellow sand, but your mother and your father are gone. ”
"At that time, they weren't together yet, were they?" Gu Ke looked at Liang Xiao and asked, "Why did Mom take Dad away?" ”
"I don't know." Liang Xiao shook his head, looked at Gu Ke and said: "Gu Ke, I can be sure that your mother was actually tempted when she saw your father for the first time, I can see it, so after those things happened, they never appeared again, but the Gu family decided that they were not dead, and they were always looking for the whereabouts of the dust beads until ...... Found you. ”
Gu Ke frowned, the people of the Gu family in the previous life had indeed found themselves, and they had successfully taken away the dust beads.
"Your presence makes me sure that your mom and dad are definitely still alive, but maybe something more dangerous happened to them." Liang Xiao lowered his eyes and said with some emotion: "So, they gave you the dust beads, and entrusted you to Xie Sangu, and since then they have left there, and they have also protected you to a certain extent." ”
"So, the Feng clan has enemies." Gu Ke heard the clue from Liang Xiao's words, "Those people have been chasing and killing the people of the Feng Clan, so that the connections of the Feng Clan have withered, and they even have to be incognito. ”
"So to speak." Liang Xiao nodded, "It's a pity that I don't know who the enemy of the Feng clan is, all the testable materials brought back from the ruins of Nanyu were buried, and the archaeology of that time was directly sealed as a secret, after I escaped from the dead and came back, I had to be protected by an old friend, changed my name and lived again, so those behind me didn't know that there were still people alive in that incident." ”
Over the years, Liang Xiao has constantly let himself forget about the things of the year as much as possible and live again, but in fact, it is useless.
Now, being able to confess everything to Gu Ke back then is not a relief for him?
"So, my parents are actually dead or alive, and the teacher has no way of knowing what happened back then." Gu Ke took a deep breath and said thoughtfully: "But it's good now, at least I don't know nothing, Gu Tianen, I definitely know more than the teacher, I will ask him sooner or later." ”
"Gu Ke, your current strength is too weak, don't expose yourself for the time being." After this conversation, Liang Xiao was even closer to Gu Ke, he had a very good relationship with Gu Hengyi back then, and now he is very pleased to see the descendants of his old friend like this, as if he was looking at his daughter, "This time you are too flamboyant to save me, maybe someone has already targeted you." ”
"I see, teacher." Gu Ke nodded and said seriously: "I understand the truth of being guilty, so I will definitely make myself as powerful as possible, like that...... Can I know the whereabouts of my parents? ”
……
"Old man, get out of here!" The old beggar, who had been leaning against the corner of the wall, was surrounded by several young men, and one of them said viciously: "I haven't paid the protection fee today!" ”
"It's a real nuisance everywhere you go." The old beggar grunted, but when he raised his eyelids, he saw that the stray dog that was usually by his side came back, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly and said, "You little guy, do you still know how to come back?" ”
The stray dogs were very strong, and when they saw them, they bared their teeth and roared.
Several young people couldn't help but take a few steps back when they saw the dog's fierce eyes.
"Isn't it just a dead dog!" The young man before picked up the other stick at his waist and said angrily, "Let's kill it together!" ”
......Just when the young people wanted to rush up, a low roar suddenly came from the mouth of the alley, and everyone turned around and found that there were more than a dozen vicious dogs standing there!
Don't ask them why they know that they are vicious dogs, they will be scared to death if they are not vicious dogs, okay?
Everyone fled in a swarm, and the dogs were still chasing after them, but they were called back by a whistle.
"Let's go!" The old beggar got up slowly, walked to his rented house with a dozen stray dogs, and muttered in a low voice, "After waiting for so many years, it's finally here......"
Gu Ke asked Liang Xiao to rest, and he went up to the rooftop, found a secluded place to sit down, and couldn't help but sigh slightly when he looked at the scenery in the distance.
"The emperor of the Feng clan has never been allowed to be so depressed." Suddenly, a voice came from behind Gu Ke.
Gu Ke's eyes lit up, and when he turned around, he had already made a move, and after thirty moves in a row, Gu Ke stopped, looked at the energetic old man opposite, frowned slightly and asked, "Old man, who are you?" ”
"I've actually forgotten who I am." The old man is the old beggar before, but at this moment he is dressed in a long shirt, cleaned up neatly, his eyes are cold, and he looks very energetic, "It's just that I didn't expect that Emperor Ji could appear here, if it wasn't for Emperor Ji forgiving me, I thought I would never be able to return to my homeland in my life." ”
"That ......" Although Gu Ke just knew that the owner of the Yun Chenzhu was the emperor recognized by the Feng clan, it was a little too strange for the old man who suddenly came to the door, and asked with some hesitation: "Old man, did you recognize the wrong person?" ”
