Chapter Twenty-Eight: Secrets
Watching Long Yu walk out of the room, Long Gaitian looked at Liu Suifeng, turned his head and whispered to Long Zhantian, who was just about to speak: "It's a big matter, go to the secret room." After finishing speaking, he turned around, Liu Suifeng followed closely, Long Zhantian was at the bottom, and the three of them walked towards Long Zhantian's study.
In the room he entered, sitting down in the main seat, Long Gaitian touched his belt and said softly: "Look outside the door, make sure you don't let anyone approach." When he spoke, he didn't face Liu Suifeng and Long Zhantian, which looked very weird.
As soon as the words fell, a shadow peeled off from the shadow of the dragon covering the sky, like a flowing black wave, quickly floated to the door and disappeared from the sight of the three of them. Long Zhantian squinted at the shadow that floated out, and said in his heart, he finally saw his father's life beast again. The name of this object is Rangda, which has no body and can sense air fluctuations within a radius of one kilometer. When fighting, it can merge with the shadow of the master, and through its own ability to connect with the enemy's shadow, in order to control its human body, the most bizarre thing about this thing is that it understands human language and belongs to the ninth-level top magical beast, which is extremely difficult to catch.
Commanding his life beast to let the beast look outside the door, Long Gaitian carefully moved an inkstone on the desk in front of him, only to see the bookshelf leaning against the wall slowly moved away, and a small secret room appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Go in and put it. Long Gaitian said softly, the three mermaids rushed in, the bookshelf slowly returned to its original position, and the study was silent again.
The secret room is a bit small, with only a small floor-to-ceiling coffee table in the middle of the floor, and a portrait hanging on the south-facing wall of the room, which is not very clear in the dim light. The three of them sat on the floor around the coffee table, and suddenly filled the secret room.
"Okay, let's talk about it here, what do you think of what Yu'er said?" asked Long Gaitian as he stroked his beard.
"What Yu'er said must not be false, we can rest assured of this, the key is the person who injured his master, brother, you see, could it be?" Liu Suifeng also stroked his beard and said quite jealously.
"Well, it must be, it must be able to injure a master who exceeds the ninth level, and has a strange double pupil, not to mention what this strange double pupil is, as far as my ancient books of the Long family record, what has this kind of strength is nothing more than those three pupil techniques. Long Zhantian thought for a while and said.
"Father, is it the eye of the dementor, the eye of grief, the eye of death? How is this possible, this is a racial anomaly belonging to the three major alien races, and the three alien races have already been wiped out in the thousand-year dispute. "Long Zhantian was shocked in his heart, anyone who heard this would be extremely shocked, something that had disappeared thousands of years ago appeared again, just like someone suddenly told you that there were dinosaurs in the mountains behind your house.
"Disappear? The three major alien races, at the same time, can confront the gods and demons, the thousand-year dispute, if it weren't for their existence, human beings could only become slaves of the gods and demons, if it weren't for the later period when the three major races fought each other, it would be difficult for the gods and demons to continue the race, how could they be like now, and still have so many believers on the continent with the glory of gods and demons. Long Gaitian said disdainfully.
"But, why didn't you mention this, father, since they didn't disappear, why didn't they appear in the world?"
"This is the real secret of the thousand-year dispute, some things, it is covered, just like the gods and demons that ordinary people fear, you can look up, you can guess, but you can't know the truth, the truth is often the most cruel, if it weren't for the rain, I wouldn't say it to you. These secrets are all passed down by the ancestors of our Long family, and only the nine major families in the entire continent know these secrets. Long Gaitian stared at the portrait on the wall, his voice a little embarrassed.
"Brother, let me tell you. Liu Suifeng looked at Long Gaitian as if he remembered those things again, and took over the topic and said.
"Hmm," Long Gaitian nodded.
Long Zhantian was extremely puzzled, for the first time in so many years, he had seen his father like this.
"Actually, the reason why the war ended in the end was purely because the three alien races signed some kind of agreement with the gods and demons, as for the content of the agreement, except for the people involved, the rest of the people were not clear, only knew that one day, the three alien races collectively disappeared and the gods and demons opened two other worlds, but the human race occupied this continent. As for the reason why they were able to sit together and negotiate in the end, no one knows. Liu said with the wind brushing his beard.
"Even if that's the case, it was a thousand years ago, so what does it have to do with Yu'er. Long Zhantian asked curiously.
Hearing his son's words, Long Gaitian couldn't help but scold angrily: "Can't you think about it with your brain, where did all the kung fu in the court go?"
Long Zhantian's face was slightly red, he thought about it for a while, and exclaimed, "Do you want to change?"
Long Gaitian nodded with satisfaction, and then, revealing great worry, sighed and said: "It seems that it is really going to change, and if you want to come, you will always come, and you can't escape, and now the opportunity has not yet appeared, but there are already signs, and we have to plan early." ”
Liu stroked his beard with the wind and said with a confident smile: "Brother, don't worry too much, have you forgotten that verse?" ”
Hearing this, Long Gaitian also smiled and said, "It seems that the older you get, the more useless you are, hehe." ”
Long Zhantian looked at the two old men extremely depressed, why did he start a dumb riddle again, could it be that people talk like this when they are old, and say a sentence that is half hidden.
"Father, what are you saying? I don't understand. Long Zhantian couldn't help but be curious and asked.
"Well, although this verse can only be passed on to the next head of the family when he is dying, but now is a special time, so I will tell you. My Long family has been passed down for two thousand years, in that thousand years of dispute, the clan is the most prosperous, the fighting god has dozens of gods, the number is second only to the royal Li family today, and, at that time, our Long family has the only great prophet in the entire continent, the prophet ancestor in the millennium of the dispute, in order to measure the fortune of my Long family, in exchange for a sentence of life, which contains a great opportunity for my Long family, before this, I actually didn't care much, but now this verse should appear. Long Gaitian seemed to be sure of something, and his words became much lighter, and the gaffe of that moment just now flashed by.
"Then what is this verse?" Long Zhantian looked serious, and asked with a respectful face, this is what his ancestors exchanged for their lives, the Great Prophet, that really only exists in legends, the Great Prophet is said to have the ability to change the future, and he is willing to give up his life for the entire family, what a great sacrifice, Long Zhantian is admiration and pride from the bottom of his heart.
"The evil eye is out, the troubled times are rising, the reincarnation is appearing, everything is peaceful, and the dragon roars in the blue clouds and sky." Long Gaitian read out slowly.
Long Zhantian muttered along, the first sentence and the following sentence could be understood, but the most critical middle part could not be explained.
"Father, what are the two sentences in between?" Long Zhantian still asked.
"I don't know, but since the saying says so, there is always a reason for it, okay, these things, just keep them in your heart, and I don't need to teach you how to do it. Long Gaitian said indifferently.
"Father, this is about to be a big mess, how should we deal with ourselves?" Long Zhantian had to ask something else.
"Then I'm going to ask you Uncle Liu..." Long Gaitian looked meaningfully at Liu Suifeng, who was like a master in the world next to him.
"You, you, I haven't stopped since I hit your thief ship, that's it, that's it, it's twenty years, and chaos will arise in twenty years, after measuring this time, I won't be able to use the slightest ability in ten years. Liu Suifeng stroked his beard and said helplessly to Long Gaitian.
Long Zhantian suddenly felt that his father and uncle standing in front of him today were very strange, what they said, what they did, he had never heard of or seen in the past thirty years, but he didn't feel uncomfortable about this. On the contrary, he clearly knows, his father does not let him know, but he is protecting himself, he knows very well that for that kind of secret, the less he knows, the safer, he is just a little angry with himself, such a big person, but he still can't share too much for his father, which leads to a strangeness to his father and uncle.
Seeing his son's face change a few times, Long Gaitian patted Long Zhantian on the shoulder and said: "Isn't it true that the father is working hard for the better life of his children, the father doesn't let you know too much, he wants you to live more comfortably, and telling you this today, but I want you to let your son live more comfortably, we are mortals after all, since we are mortals, why not do mortal things." ”
"Yes, father, the child remembers, it's just that the older the father is, the more things he does, the child's heart..." Long Zhantian looked at his father's silver hair and couldn't help but feel ashamed, his father was nearly forty years old, and now he has reached the age of standing, even if his father has entered the ninth level, but he only has thirty or forty years to live, it should be the time to take care of his life, but he still has to work for these things, he is really useless.
Seeing that his son's eyes were obviously red, Long Gaitian's heart warmed, but his mouth shouted angrily: "What do you say about the family motto of the Long family~!" "For officials, loyalty, for generals, brave, for sons, filial piety, for husbands, benevolence, for fathers, kindness, ~!" Long Zhantian replied reflexively.
"Well, I don't want to see you like this today, just be a person, just have a clear conscience, carry too much baggage, not only yourself, but the people around you will also be very tired. Long Gaitian said sharply. After finishing speaking, his tone softened a lot, and then said: "I'll leave in two days, Yu'er will go to the Northeast with me, the children and grandchildren of the Long family can't grow up in the greenhouse, last time I wrote to you that the kid of the Ye family is also going?"
"Well, that child's name is Ye Wenhao, three months younger than Yu'er, the second brother asked me to tell my father, let you take him away too, and by the way, with Yu'er**. Long Zhantian replied.
"Oh, I didn't expect my godson to have this heart, so he wasn't afraid that my old man would cripple his only man. Long Gaitian said with a smile to Liu Suifeng and Long Zhantian.
"The second brother said that as long as he proposed, his father would definitely say this, so he mentioned it to me before, saying that let his father be **, just have a standard with Yu'er. Long Zhantian also smiled, and the atmosphere in the secret room was much better with the laughter.
