Chapter 60: The Mystic
The two returned to Lu Lie's military tent. In this troubled era, the princes of various places fought for many years, and even though the Marquis of Jianning, where Lu Lie served, was one of the most powerful forces in this troubled era, he was still not rich. In addition to the necessary maps of mountains and rivers in Lu Lie's military tent, only large pots of wine and weapons hung in the corners of the walls remained.
Lu Lie motioned for Sun Xiao to open a pot of wine, and after the glasses of the two were full, he sat down and drank bitterly. Lu Lie took a sip of all the spirits in the bowl and sighed: "Since I came down from the giant tree nine years ago, I can't remember the experience of being on the giant tree for so many years. Cannibals, Su Wen, Yang Wei, these people are already far away from me, their faces are starting to blur, and sometimes, I really think that I just had a big dream nine years ago. A dream that lasted nine years. ”
"General Lu, that's definitely not a dream. Sun Xiao also drank the wine in his cup and responded, "The cannibal is not a dream, the friend you have experienced on the adventure with you on the giant tree is not a dream, and this experience is not a dream. It's like I, as the son of a cannibal, just standing in front of your eyes. You can reach out and touch me and feel my presence. If all this is really a dream, can my existence be so real?"
He brought himself another bowl of wine: "Moreover, I heard that after you came down from the giant tree, you have obtained this amazing strength and force, and you must have gained some kind of adventure on the giant tree." If all this is just a dream, then the dream should also wake up the moment it comes down from the giant tree, how do you explain that the power of dreams affects reality?"
Lu Lie smiled and was noncommittal: "Over the years, I have been favored by the lord, and I have been fortunate to serve the territory, and I have fought in the south and north for several years, which can be regarded as quite a achievement. But over the years, I have mobilized countless manpower and material resources to find the Zhushi Town back then, as well as the giant tree that runs through the sky in Zhushi Town...... Strangely, no matter how much I searched, I couldn't find the same place I used to be. It's as if Zhu Shizhen and the giant tree just disappeared into the world out of thin air. If there really is such a big tree in the world, it should be easy to find. ”
"Add to that the loss of memories over the years, and the faces in my mind getting blurry as time goes on. These things have tormented me for so many years, and perhaps, it's time to forget about it. ”
Sun Xiao put down the empty bowl in his hand. He hesitated for a moment: "Divine General Lu, if you really want to remember all this...... It's not impossible. ”
Lu Lie had already drunk the third bowl of wine, and his eyes were already a little drunk. But when he heard Sun Xiao say such words, his eyes instantly changed, and he became as sharp and cold as a wolf.
"What method?" Lu Lie asked, putting down the empty bowl in his hand. His voice was steady and not at all like a drunken man.
He wanted answers, all these years, all the time. If there really is someone in this world who can give him an answer, then he is willing to pay whatever the price.
Sun Xiao hesitated for a moment: "Divine General, have you ever heard that there is a person called a secret magician in this world?"
"Mystic?"
When Lu Lie repeated these three words, he always felt that he had heard these three words somewhere, and he was extremely familiar. But this familiar feeling is also the same as the experience on the giant tree, which is clearly buried deep in my mind and exists there. But when I wanted to open it and look through it, I couldn't find it anyway.
"Yes, Mystic. Sun Xiao nodded and continued to explain to him, "If you want to understand the existence of the Mystic, you must first know the existence of Qi Qi. Qi Qi is the Qi that makes up all living things in the world. The mystic, on the other hand, is a wonderful person who learns how to master Qi Qi. They are capable of creating illusions out of thin air, building mirages. Mystics are often hidden in the form of families, and young disciples also hide from the mountains and forests, and there are few mortals, and the world knows very little about them. It's normal that you don't know. ”
Lu Shenjiang touched his chin and fell into deep thought. Sun Xiao saw that the other party was thinking, and he didn't bother the other party with interest. General Lu Shen thought quietly for about three snaps of his fingers before he spoke: "If it is as you say, it is indeed a group of wonderful people. But are you sure they can unlock memories that have been sealed in my mind for a long time?"
Sun Xiao said: "I can't be 100% sure, but as far as I know about the mysticists, the strongest among them is almost astronomical and geographical, and they are all proficient in everything. The secret techniques that have been studied are also varied, involving all aspects of this world. If even the Mystic Master can't answer the doubts in your heart, then I'm afraid there is no one in this world who can answer your questions. ”
Lu Lie closed his eyes, not knowing what he was pondering.
After half a ring, he said lightly: "I know, I will consider what you said." ”
"It's getting late, you can go back and rest first. You are the son of an old man, and after returning to the imperial capital, I will naturally not treat you badly. But this coincides with troubled times, there is chaos everywhere, and you are meeting me as a prisoner of war, so before the class teacher goes back, you should keep a low profile and don't cause trouble. I'll arrange for someone to protect you, you know. ”
Sun Xiao nodded: "Naturally, I understand what General Lu means." ”
The two soldiers walked into the barracks and politely invited Sun Xiaoke out.
After Sun Xiao left, only Lu Lie was left alone in the barracks. He was silent for a moment, then shook the bell in the barracks, and two more soldiers walked in and bowed to him: "General, what are your orders?" ”
Lu Lie said, "You go and put up a notice to find me a magical person called the Mystic. Anyone who can take down the notice will send it to me. If it meets my requirements, I'll be rewarded. ”
......
After Lu Lie issued this order, the forces within the control of the entire Jianning Army posted notices looking for the mystic, and everyone in the world also knew that Lu Lie, the god general under the greatest prince of the current troubled times, Jianning Marquis, sought a strange person called the mystic.
However, no one knew why Lu Shenjiang, a martial artist, would be interested in a rumored figure like a mystic.
No one knew what Lu Lie was looking for the Mystic Master for.
Time passed day by day, and no one took down the notice issued by Lu Lie.
