Chapter 488: You can see it, you can let it go
Chapter 488 can be seen and put down
As I moved, five fragments of similar size instantly appeared on the table, neatly arranged.
Shen Siping's eyes shrank suddenly, and he looked at the five fragments on the table, speechless for a long time, and even the old butler on the side showed a shocked expression, the five fragments seemed to be full of strange charm, hooking everyone's minds.
After a long time, Shen Siping straightened up, and his eyes were tightly closed, as if he was afraid that he would not be able to bear the trace of greed born in his heart if he looked at it again.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll rob you?" After a long time, Shen Siping said a word.
"I believe that Shen Lao is not that kind of person." I said firmly.
"Huh." Shen Siping chuckled, shook his head and said, "Do you know what this thing represents?" ”
"I don't know." I shook my head honestly, knowing that these fragments were not simple and that they were unimaginable when they were complete, I had never known what they meant.
"This thing represents hope." Shen Si said slowly.
"Hope?" I looked at him puzzled.
"Yes, for me, it's hope." Shen Siping nodded, and then continued: "When I got this thing, by chance, I discovered its wonder, and then I also looked for the remaining fragments of it, but there was no clue, I thought that I would never see the remaining fragments again in this life, but I didn't want to today..."
Shen Siping didn't say the rest of the words, but I understood.
"So your main purpose here today is to get the last piece of my place?" Shen Siping could naturally see that the five pieces on the table were basically enough for most of them, and as long as he added his piece, he could make it complete.
It's false to say that he is not curious, Shen Siping has been in his hands for so many years, except for researching a little mystery, but he doesn't know anything about its origin, material, etc., old age does not mean that there is no desire for knowledge, he also has a strong curiosity, but he can be more restrained.
"Yes, Elder Shen, I didn't say it at first, please forgive me." I said with a little guilt, the reason why I took it out, I also went through a psychological battle, but in the end I decided to take a gamble, I believe in my feelings, but in the same way, it is also a kind of self-confidence, although Shen Siping and the old housekeeper are both in the third realm, but I am not afraid, the cave sky map, the peach wood sword is where my confidence lies.
"As I just said, this thing means hope to me, and it is the key to my breakthrough to a half-step grandmaster, why do you think I will give it to you for nothing?" Shen Si looked straight at me and said.
"Elder Shen, I never thought of asking for your things for nothing, what are the conditions, you can just say it." I straightened up, sat upright, and said.
"Conditions? At my age, at my status, what more do you think I need? Even if there is, my biggest hope in life is to take this last half step, are you sure you can help me? Shen Siping looked at me with interest and said.
Listening to his words, my heart kept sinking, as he said, at his age, whether it is money or power, there is no shortage of it, not to mention that this kind of thing is not the goal he pursues, as for his last half step, if I can find a way, then I will not be sitting here today.
In particular, this last fragment is actually related to whether he can take that half step, which is almost a direct sentence of death.
For Shen Siping, that was the opportunity for him to become enlightened, empathy, if I were the other party, I am afraid I would not hand over such an important thing.
"Is this time in vain?" I couldn't help but think to myself, if it wasn't for the kind of conversation at the beginning, if he wasn't so noble, I wouldn't rule out the possibility of robbing or stealing it directly, but now, I can't do it.
"As long as you agree to my request, it doesn't hurt to give you something." Just when my heart was about to sink to the bottom, Shen Siping's words suddenly sounded in my ears, and even made me think that I had heard it wrong.
"Sir." The old key next to him suddenly shouted, his voice was full of worry, obviously, he was also incomprehensible to Shen Siping's decision.
"Elder Shen, what did you just say?" I looked at him uncertainly.
"If you grant me a request, I'll give it to you." A smile appeared on the corner of Shen Siping's mouth.
"Elder Shen, if you have any requirements, just say it, as long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse." I said immediately, just patting my chest and reassuring, with a look of surprise on my face, after all, this turn of events was too sudden, too incredible.
"Don't worry, you can definitely do it, as long as you are willing to learn the formation from me, I will give you something." Shen Siping said slowly.
After listening to his request, I was completely stunned, I had thought of many possibilities before, but it definitely did not include this one, this can not even be said to be a request, but a generous gift from the sky.
At the same time, Shen Lao's personality also moved me again.
"What? Don't want to? Seeing that I didn't reply for a long time, Shen Siping smiled and asked.
"No, I do." I immediately blurted out that learning the formation from the other party was definitely something I had always dreamed of, but in this way, the favor I owed was really too big and too big for me to pay it back.
"Alright, you wait here for a moment." After Shen Siping finished speaking, he got up and went upstairs, and for a while, only me and the old housekeeper were left in the living room.
"My lord has never valued a person so much." The old butler said suddenly.
My body shook slightly, "Boss Shen, I can't repay it." ”
"Xiao Wu's child is the grandson of the master's only sister, and he can be regarded as the only descendant of the master, but Xiao Wu doesn't know about this matter." The old butler said again.
"Old man, I promise you, no matter what happens to him, I will not hurt his life." I was silent for a while before I said, I don't need him to speak, I also know that this kind of thing happened today, Wu Jinxin will definitely retaliate like crazy, through my understanding of him, he is definitely the master of revenge.
It's just that as the old housekeeper said, Shen Lao's kindness to me is too great, so big that I can't repay it, so for Shen Lao's only descendant, no matter how much he targets me, I can't really hurt him.
The same thing, in the eyes of different people, will have different value, the rich donate a million, and the poor donate all their net worth, the meaning is different, maybe this fragment in the eyes of many people at most only has the value of research, but for Shen Lao, this is the opportunity for him to take the most critical half step, if you give me something, it is equivalent to cutting off your hope.
This kind of decision is not something that ordinary people can make.
After the old butler said these two sentences, he continued to stand there silently, and his sense of presence was not strong, and it was even easy for people to ignore him.
It didn't take long for Shen Lao to come down from upstairs, still holding a booklet in his hand.
"What? Are you a little disappointed that I didn't take things out? Shen Siping glanced at me and said directly.
"Nope." I smiled a little awkwardly, in fact, as he said, I was a little disappointed when I didn't see the last fragment at first glance.
"Before I give that thing to you, you have to complete my test, how about it, do you dare to accept my test?" Shen Siping looked at me with a smile.
"Dare." I replied loudly.
"Okay, this is some of my usual experience in the formation, you take it back and study it carefully, if you don't understand anything, you can come to me at any time, and when you understand all the things on it, even if you complete my first test." Shen Siping handed me the booklet and said.
"What is this?" I took the booklet and opened it, only to see that it was full of some formation knowledge, and my heart was suddenly settled, "Yes, Elder Shen, I promise to complete the task." ”
Next, I will say goodbye, coming here today, it can be said that I have overfulfilled the task, not only the last fragment is hopeful, but also I can learn the knowledge of the formation, and I will be the head of good luck.
Leaving the villa, I stood in the doorway and bowed deeply before leaving with the booklet in my hand.
"Sir, how can you give him that thing?" After I left, the old butler finally couldn't help but say.
"You still can't see it." Shen Siping shook his head and chuckled.
"I'm stupid, I've always been stupid." The old butler whispered, as if to recount a very ordinary matter.
"You're not stupid, but you don't want to think about it." After Shen Siping finished speaking, he seemed to think of something, and his face showed a trace of nostalgia, "Don't you think his appearance is fate?" ”
"Sir, have you forgotten? I don't believe in fate. When the old butler said this, his eyes widened a little, faintly, as if the essence of light was circulating, and the whole person had an extra majesty.
"I didn't believe in fate before, but now, I do." Shen Siping was very serious and said very slowly, "When the master was dying, he once said something to me, he said that he was defeated in his life because he couldn't see it and couldn't let go of six words, for so many years, I have been thinking about these six words, and it was not until I saw him today that I really understood the meaning of these six words." ”
"Can't see it? Can't put it down? The old butler also chewed in his mouth.
"How do you say these six words should be said in reverse?" Shen Siping asked again.
"You can see it, you can let it go." As Shen Siping said, the old housekeeper is just too lazy to think about it, but he is not really stupid.
"Not bad. Only when you can see it can you let it go, and life is nothing more than the process of seeing and letting go. Shen Siping said.
"But master, can you really see it and let it go?" The old butler was silent for a long time, and then suddenly asked.
