Chapter Twenty-Six: The Mysterious Old Man
Suddenly, the old man in the green shirt and masked said: "Doll, I swore in my early years that I would never use my true face to meet anyone in this life again, but...... Although I don't know you very well, I know in my heart that you are a young man who is rich in feelings, but when he encounters some sad things, he has the heart to see death as home. ”
After a pause, the old man said again: "Well, the old man has not spoken to anyone in the past two hundred years, so this time for the sake of your child, let's make an exception!"
Long Qi was thinking blankly, and the old man in the green shirt and masked said, "Doll, are you called Long Qi?" Long Qi responded, yes.
The masked old man in the green shirt said again: "Where does your family live?
Long Qi had a sad face on his face, and said in a dumb voice: "There is no family anymore, the junior does not belong to any sectarian family, and he is alone." ”
"Young man, don't you have a sad affair too?"
Long Qi said sadly: "Old man, every time I mention it, it is a heart-rending pain, I ......"
The masked old man in the green shirt seemed to be deeply moved, and he said in a low voice: "Silly boy, there are painful things in your heart, and it is not much easier to be able to confide in them to your heart's content than to hide them deep in your heart! Moreover, do you know who is listening to you in front of you?"
Long Qi's eyes widened, he shook his head blankly, and the strange old man urged again: "Tell me quickly! When you finish speaking, the old man will also tell you a story." ”
Long Qi lowered his head and meditated for a while, but he wanted to make a systematic arrangement of his painful memories.
He spoke, from the fact that he had a warm home, his grandfather passed away, to the breaking of his Tiansha Lone Star, until he jumped off the cliff to seek relief, how he turned into a strange face and went home, and how he saved Shangguan Fei'er......
In the end, he said in a sad and angry voice that he vowed to save his family, protect everyone he met and cherished with his life, and no longer be the creature who obeyed the heavens, he would change his life against the sky!!。
The old man in the blue shirt stared into the distance with empty eyes, and the white and long-haired face behind the black scarf seemed to be shaking slightly.
Long Qi ended his words in deep sorrow, and the masked old man in the green shirt sighed slightly: "Child, don't be too sad, cheer up, there are still many things to do in this world, there are still many people to protect, as long as we are worthy of our conscience, we can do anything with our hands." ”
When Long Qi heard this, he said proudly: "The old man's instruction is extremely true, Long Qi will not be contemptuous and self-inferior, I still have a long way to go." I will endure what ordinary people can't endure, and I can't bear what mortals can't, sharpen myself on the continent, and seek to become stronger, until one day I can try to compete with Tiangong!!"
He paused for a moment and said, "As long as I don't die, I won't give up?"
The eyes of the blue-shirted masked man were full of white eyebrows, and he shouted: "That's right, with such courage and courage at a young age, he will be above the clouds one day!!"
Long Qi was embarrassed when he heard this, "hehe~" and smiled.
The old man in the blue shirt sighed slightly, and continued: "Child, you may think that the old man's tone is too praised, but I can feel your sincere and innocent heart. ”
"But", the old man changed his words: "Child, you have to change the day and disobey your fate, you can't just have a heart, you also have extraordinary ability, and you have to have the power to dominate the Three Realms. ”
Long Qi stared at the old man with moved eyes, not knowing what he was going to say.
The old man in the blue shirt slowly closed his eyelids, his face was confused and sad, and he said slowly: "Child, back then, I also wanted to change my life like you, but I couldn't do it, I hope you can!!"
Long Qi said in a firm tone: "The junior doesn't dare to do it in vain, but I can swear that even if I die, I will never retreat half a step!"
"Well, I believe you!"
"Old man, my story is over, you should tell me your story"
The masked old man in the blue shirt smiled silently and said, "Silly boy, do you know what is the most torturous thing in this world?"
Long Qi shook his head.
The old man said: "Both of these are the same answer, and that is 'love and time'. ”
The old man said in silence: "Two hundred years have completely changed my temper back then, and I have no anger or gratification, because everything in this world has nothing to do with me, and it can be said that I have a 'grudge'......"
"Every day, all I see is the boundless darkness, and all I hear is the endless howling mountain wind......"
"How lonely! This boundless darkness, this sad life...... Who will remember me, who will comfort me, I have nothing but hatred for the people of the world, and therefore I swear not to talk to any living person again......"
Long Qi silently listened to the old man's self-confession - sad and excited, he unconsciously deeply sympathized with the old man in the blue shirt covered with a black scarf.
Long Qi could deeply understand the strange old man's mood, why wasn't he like this himself? . It's just that what he hates is not people, it's "heaven"!!
He had a pair of clear, clear eyes, but all he could see was himself! Everything that had happened to him! What else had happened?
He said emotionally: "Old man, if you are willing, after the junior finds his parents, if you don't dislike it, I am willing to take care of you for a lifetime, and I will accompany ......."
Hearing Long Qi's words, the old man couldn't help but be stunned, and then said emotionally: "Child, you and I have only met for a few hours, and you are not afraid that I am a bad person...... ”
"Old man, how can you be a bad person, even if you are a bad person, you are forced, I have a natural sense of intimacy when I meet you, like sympathy"
He looked up and thought silently for a while, and in his heart, the old man really loved the young man in front of him, who was very heroic, and had an excellent personality.
The old man suddenly said, "Are you willing to worship me as a teacher and enter my door?" ”
"I don't want to!"
Long Qi refused without hesitation, making the old man stunned, once upon a time, how many super powerful families in the continent begged to come to his door with rare treasures and their descendants, but they were all turned away. Now he broke his oath and took the initiative to accept the young man in front of him as a disciple, but he didn't want to refuse.
Puff~"
"Knock Knock"
Just when the masked old man in the blue shirt was stunned, Long Qi knelt on his knees, kowtowed to the old man three times in a row, and shouted sincerely
"Grandpa!"
This sudden change made the old man in the blue shirt unable to think about it, and he was stunned on the spot, not knowing what to do for a while!
After kowtowing three heads, Long Qi still knelt in front of the old man, and said with tears in his eyes: "My grandfather loved me the most when he was alive, and you were much older than your grandfather, so Long Qi didn't want to be your apprentice, he wanted to be your grandson!!"
