(Go to work, don't get up, use the best state to welcome the first day of the new year!I hope that with the atmosphere of the New Year, Thor can get everyone's valuable recommendation votes, and also sign a contract as soon as possible with the blessing of prosperity!)

In the world war ten years ago, the man and the demon faced each other head-on, and the spirit clan and the demon clan secretly assisted the corresponding side behind the back, and every battle was worth recording and passing on to future generations.

But folk legends are always intricate, and the same story will change little by little in the process of transmission, and it is likely that in the end, things and characters will not match.

Lu Beichen had heard similar stories, such as how the Twelve Guards fought bravely, how the Old Man Duxu planned every war, how the Four Kingdoms Gong assisted the Holy Emperor to complete the great cause of the human race, and how the Five Bole traveled across the ocean to find those thousands of miles scattered in the world.

The deeds of the four kingdoms and the five princes have been spread all over the world, but different places have different names. However, Lu Beichen followed Shang Lu's description, and these names corresponded to the stories behind them.

Shang Lu said with a smile, "Smart, just get to the point as soon as you say it." The Five Lakes Scholars are also called the Five Lakes Monks, and their combined ages are estimated to be equal to God's age...... Haha......"

"Is it also like Gong Wen, who has been fishing for forty years by the spring with a long line of long lines?" Lu Beichen asked.

Shang Lu laughed unconsciously, and then continued solemnly, "Almost, they are all hundred-year-olds, but they played an extremely important role in the battle of the demon clan ten years ago. Until now, their role is not to deal with demons, but to discover so-called talents.

Lu Beichen understood what Shang Lu meant.

The reason why Wu Bole is compared to Jiang Ziya a thousand years ago is because the stories are too similar—if it weren't for the Holy Emperor back then, if it wasn't for the war back then, they might still be farmers in the mountains;

"But I have to say that these five people are very powerful, even more magical than the stone in Tonglanguan, I have always been curious, how do they judge whether a person has a promising future. Is it because I have lived in seclusion for too long and developed a pair of clairvoyance?"

"Never believe that a person's future can be judged. Lu Beichen said, "I always feel that no one will fully understand anyone, if there is really oneself, it can only be oneself, so only oneself can judge oneself." ”

I feel the same way. Shang Lu said with a smile, "I always feel that people who have been in one place for a long time have a lot of theories, and they can't even do things like enjoying life." ”

Lu Beichen smiled and quipped, "If it were me, I guess I don't need to do this, I can fish for forty years, but why do I have to use straight fishing? It's too hypocritical, after all, there is a wife at home." ”

Since coming down the mountain, he has said so many things that have amazed him. When I was a child, I always thought that Wengong's story was very inspirational, but when I grew up, I felt too forbearing.

Indeed, in the modern world, forbearance is inevitably cruel.

At the beginning, Xiao Beichen, who was used to dealing with things in silence, didn't know from which time, he felt that people had to live for themselves, and they had to live happily. We should not compromise, we should not be too silent, we should not retreat to the next best, but we should be chic, courageous, and decisive.

"If those people hear you, they will be. Shang Lu said, but he couldn't hide the smile between his eyebrows, and picked up two big coconuts by the way, skillfully broke them with his hands, poured them into the bowl, and put them in front of Lu Beichen.

Lu Beichen rarely drank this kind of extremely sweet juice, but in this case, he refused to be a little polite, so he chose to drink it boldly.

Shang Lu said with a satisfied gaze, "I've actually been very curious all these years, is this interesting thing about fishing by the spring for forty years? If history is reversed, and I am the same age as Duke Wen, I would like to ask Duke Wen, what is the brain thinking in those forty years? Instead of pretending to be forty years, it is better to take the initiative earlier." ”

Lu Beichen drank the bowl of coconut water, wiped his mouth, and said, "If history is reversed and I see Duke Wen, I am looking forward to learning from him." After all, to be able to be independent in that turbulent world and act only when the time is right requires an extremely long-term vision and enough indifferent expectations. ”

"I found out today that you are a person who is not very determined. Shang Lu glanced at him suspiciously, and said.

"No one is perfect, and every character is worth learning and criticizing. Lu Beichen said calmly.

Shang Lu naturally didn't expect that there would be such an answer, so he said a little speechlessly, "Okay, I can be regarded as convinced of you." ”

The air was quiet, not abrupt at all.

This is not the first time. The first chat when they first met, they were the ones who made each other speechless, and the silence and embarrassment in the air used to be deliberately broken, but in this second meeting and the second conversation, there seemed to be no need, because both of them were used to it.

Perhaps, this is a tacit understanding.

After all, this kind of awkward silence has never lasted long, and according to normal speaking, Shang Lu must be the first to be unable to bear the silence and then reopen the conversation.

But this time there is an exception, for unknown reasons.

Perhaps because of his casual eating appearance and straightforward temperament, Lu Beichen took the lead in putting down the chopsticks in his hand and asked, "By the way, what is the large-scale secret activity you just said?"

Just because of the serving, this topic was interrupted for no reason, but this time Lu Beichen just took this opportunity to break the silence and open up another topic.

Shang Lu was like a child who had received candy, and his eyebrows were very funny, just like a teenager who won the competition of "who cares more about whom, who speaks first" after the Cold War.

He also put down his chopsticks and said with a smile, "Every year at this time, many people are very nervous. Because there are not many opportunities to take the national exam, everyone will regard this exam as a new student. And this year, it is said that the Holy Capital is preparing a huge project, so in addition to having the opportunity to receive special training from all over the world, the disciples who enter the national list will also participate in this project in the future. ”

"What is this project?"

"It's a secret, don't tell anyone. Shang Lu looked around and confirmed that no one else was within a zhang of each other, so he waved his hand to Lu Beichen and motioned for him to come over and listen.
