Chapter Seventy-Six: I Was Young

That was when the country of the negative was not yet destroyed, and it was more than ten or twenty years ago. At that time, the sky was very blue, the water was very clear, and few of the citizens of the Nine Kingdoms had bad intentions, just like many years later.

That year, nothing major happened. The trade between the nine countries was normal, and the envoys had no accidents, and the whole world seemed to be peaceful. So, that year's tyrant patted his head and said, Otherwise, let's have a court meeting, and everyone will contact each other. So letters were exchanged, envoys exchanged letters, and finally the Nine Kingdoms Dynasty meeting that year was set in Yubei City, and there was no accident.

In the eyes of everyone, it seems that a grand gathering of nine countries that has never been seen before or after is about to begin.

All the gatherings, exchanges, and feasts in this world are all for impure purposes, because they have a greater added value: to establish channels of communication. So in fact, that year's Nine Kingdoms Dynasty Meeting was indeed unprecedented, because there were no constraints and rules, so almost all the big families with heads and faces in the Nine Kingdoms on the entire continent appeared in Yubei City at the same time. The monarchs of the Nine Kingdoms held a meeting in the palace under the throne, and the major families held small meetings in the major restaurants in Yubei City. According to an old man who is still alive many years later, the wine sold in Yubei City in those days is worth ten years of consumption in Yubei City.

Of course, this was said by the owner of a tavern back then.

Later, when time passed, Master Shaohong also said in a conversation with a friend: "Thinking about it now, it was really dangerous at the beginning, and if anyone wanted to do something abnormal at that time, I am afraid that the monarchs of the nine kingdoms would have to be planted there." Shaohong said this to Master Liu. At that time, Shaohong had not yet achieved the position of a saint, but Master Huliu had already fought all over the world and was respected as a "master". But later, time passed quickly, and people still didn't hear the news that Master Huliu, who had fought all over the world, broke through the holy realm, only heard that he lived in seclusion in the mountains and wilderness, and seemed to have reached the realm of the unity of heaven and man who could communicate with spirit beasts, and Master Shaohong quietly became a rare saint, and sat in prison for the ox, so that almost no one dared to disturb this northern power.

That's all for later.

In that grand gathering that year, there were many conflicts and disputes, and many mandarin ducks were also achieved, and there were two exceptionally shining people who attracted everyone's attention.

Jin Zhuzi, the prince of the country of the fox, was known as the existence of the "second martial artist" among the young generation in the Nine Kingdoms at that time. Not only is he handsome and majestic, but he is also unsurpassed by his divine skills. With a body of unbreakable divine skills, the golden beads at that time almost hit all the peers around him in high spirits, and the limelight was unique for a while.

And the other person is Yu Buzi, the daughter of the Zhaosi of the Kingdom of Jianxi. It was a woman who was the spirit of Zhong Heaven and Earth, where the essence of the sun and the moon was located. It's hard for anyone to remember what the jade puzi was like at that time, but all those who have seen it can read everything from the eyes of this Pu Lao national teacher twenty years later.

Later, unsurprisingly, the two fell in love. The prince of the country of the Fox fell in love with the daughter of the country of Jianxi, which was not a big deal, and the kings of the two countries were not only happy to fulfill them, but also very happy to hope that the bond between the two countries could be strengthened because of this marriage, after all, it was not far apart, so wouldn't it be kissing and kissing?

But often this kind of thing that seems to be in place in one step is easy to get into trouble. The golden beads and the jade buzi, the talented woman and the natural match are true, and they can barely be called the right people, but the problem is that people who can fall in love at first sight, no matter what status, status, and appearance, are easy to bring such a characteristic: sensibility. And these two high-ranking sons of heaven are both very emotional people, so they got together and discussed for a few days, and then they made a thing that made the national armies of both the two countries feel stupid: seclusion.

But fortunately, the time between the decision and the action of the sensual person is very short, so when the king of Jairwood and the king of the country began to jump to their feet and desperately send people to find these two people to come back and get married, Jin Zhuzi and Yu Buzi have begun to live in seclusion on the Hun Huan floating island in the north of Jairus, living a life of escapism and cultivation, and the life of a fairy couple.

According to the plot, shouldn't these two live in peace and stability in a paradise, have a bunch of children, and then watch the children give birth to a bunch of children? All the accidents in the world always come very suddenly, and not long after Yu Buzi became pregnant, the country of the Fox suffered a rebellion of snakes. Compared to the whale rebellion in the country of Pujiao many years later, the serpent came into the world as much as it did.

"Turn the snake into a demon, its voice is like a cry, and when you see it, its country has a big water. "On the day the serpent descended, a monstrous flood and huge waves rolled up in the territory of the country of the fox, and swept through the entire border of the country of the fox at a very fast speed. The water gushed out of the river and poured out of the river as if endlessly over the land, fields and livestock, and finally swept away the corpses of men.

Although Jin Zhuzi was no longer the prince of the Fox, he had to take care of the country's difficulties, so he resolutely returned to the territory of the Fox Country to fight against the snake. So in this way, only Yu Buzi was left on the Hun Huan Floating Island, waiting for the birth of their child.

The battle with the snake was so protracted that it seemed like a war, and it almost shattered everything that Jin Zhuzi could rely on in the past, including his pride and faith. Later, with the help of the elder boys, Jin Zhuzi was finally able to kill the snake to quell the snake rebellion. But even though he was able to slay the snake, Jin Zhuzi also paid a great price: the old wound on his shoulder and back did not heal for many years, and finally he could only cover it up with a cloak and walk forward every day.

Only three days after defeating the snake, Jin Zhuzi rushed back to the Hun Huan floating island, but there was no trace of Yu Buzi on the floating island. Jin Zhuzi searched for more than half a month but couldn't find Yu Buzi, but when he returned to the capital of the Fox Kingdom, he received a message from Yu Buzi's oak bird:

"You and I are in harmony against the sky, and we will eventually brew bitter fruits. I have given birth to a demon fetus and killed it with my own hands, but I have no shame to see you. All living beings are suffering, you and I are all the same, I hope that the mountains and rivers will be high and long, and we will never see each other again. ”

A man who loves his wife deeply and is about to have his own children is cut off by his lover on his own initiative. Even if he is a hero, a god of war, an omnipotent and omniscient, he is a human being after all. After reading the oak bird message of Yu Buzi, Jin Zhuzi didn't have time to tear the letter off with his own hands, and he fainted suddenly. And the tears were already flowing before the fainting.

More than a month later, Jin Zhuzi woke up from a coma, and at this time he heard unbelievable news: Yu Buzi, who was the daughter of Zhaosi of the country of Jianxi, had become the national teacher of the country of Pujiao at this time! Although Jin Zhuzi did not pay attention to what the status of Yu Buzi was, Jin Zhuzi, who hated him for killing his own child, hated the woman's initiative to cut off the front edge of the two sides, so he resolutely became the national teacher of the country of the fox, but resolutely refused to continue to serve as the prince of the country of the fox.

Later, perhaps in order to alleviate loneliness or for some other reason, Jin Zhuzi founded the Jin Family Money Village in Laocheng, and it has been open to this day.

Jin Zhuzi's words were finished, and Jiuhan didn't speak.

The world is impermanent, and people's hearts are inevitably insightful. In a long life, no one knows what kind of people they will meet, and what these people will do, there is no way to prevent it from happening. I haven't experienced the life of Jin Zhuzi, so I have no right to comment.

Jin Zhuzi patted him on the shoulder, then walked to the window and opened it. The snow outside the window is melting, and birds are flying in the bright sunshine, which seems to be a piece of spring light. Jin Zhuzi held on to the window with his hand, turned back to Jiu Ban and said, "Tomorrow morning, bring your friends to my National Teacher's Mansion, it's easy to find." ”

Nine and a half walked to the window, and Jin Zhuzi stepped back. The former turned around and saluted the latter with a fist, and then leaned on the window and was about to leave, when Jin Zhuzi suddenly said, "Nine and a half, if you were the original me, what would you do?"

Some cold wind blew through the nine-and-a-half flesh into the attic, and the man left without saying a word.

Jin Zhuzi walked to the window and looked at the back of the nine and a half departing on the roof, and also said nothing.

Two days later, Jiuhan, Bayu, and Wu Liangzi stood in the nameless ancient city they passed through on their way to Laicheng, only this time they knew the name of this ancient city: Boma.

In the National Teacher's Mansion of Jin Zhuzi, the collection of books and materials is not abundant. In addition to a variety of historical books, reports from the various state capitals and cities in the country of the Evil Beast in recent years are also collected here for reference.

With the support of such a huge information base, the people of Nine and a Half quickly found the information they wanted: when the meteorite fell half a year ago, it destroyed an ancient city with an extremely long history, and the location of that ancient city was the nameless ancient city where the Nine and Half people stayed when they entered the country of the Fox, and the location almost coincided.

So with this information, Jiu Ban and the others came to the gate of the ancient city again, wanting to investigate carefully. Although they had received enough information in the National Teacher's Mansion, when they came to the ancient city of Bodhisattva again, they saw a scene far beyond their imagination: the ancient city of Bodhisattva, lively as usual.

It was as if the ancient city had been resurrected, awakened from its slumber, and everything was almost exactly the same as when they first came. The juggling on the streets is as usual, and the tavern and teahouse are still lively, as if the former dilapidation is all illusory, and it is just a dream of Nan Ke. Walking down the street, the nine-and-a-half group could barely contain their surprise.

Walking down the street and looking at the exact same scene as they had experienced, Wei Xicheng couldn't contain his surprise and said, "Nine and a half, we won't be ...... I've heard of ghost towns, and every ghost town is different......

Raising his hand to interrupt Wei Xicheng's words, Jiuhan said: "Brother Wei, don't worry too much, since we didn't have anything to do last time, it means that although this ancient city is weird, no one wants to harm us." Even if there is, what can I do, isn't it enough to deal with you and my strength?hahahahaha......haha

"There's nothing out of the ordinary," Hachiyu squinted his eyes and looked ahead, and said, "The huge obsession I felt last morning is gone, and this ancient city is no different from an ordinary city......"

It doesn't make a difference, and that's a bit of a hassle. Jiuhan and Wei Xiyan are only half-saint realm cultivators, and only Shaohong is the only known saint realm cultivator on the entire continent. But this ancient city is so big that it is almost impossible to fake. But this is not completely negated, if it is not only the extraterrestrial meteorites that control the operation of the entire ancient city, but even the cultivators who have transcended the Holy Realm? Thinking of the cultivators who have transcended the Sacred Realm, Jiuhan unconsciously shuddered fiercely. If that's the case, it's a bit scary.

"In that case, let's find an inn to stay in first, and then think about it in the long run, okay?" Jiu Ban spoke, and Wei Xicheng and Ba Yu beside him nodded in agreement. So soon, they found an inn together to live in, still two upper rooms, Jiuhan lived with Wei Xicheng, and Bayu lived alone.

That night, Wei Xicheng lay in bed and leaned against the window to peep out. Looking at the flow of people and the bustling lights on the street outside the window, Jiuhan opened his mouth and said to Wei Xicheng: "Brother Wei, you said that we are looking for this, can you find it?"

"Whether you can find it or not, you have to find it. Wei Xicheng's tone was relaxed, and he also cocked Erlang's legs.

"Then why are you looking for it?" Nine and a half looked back, a little puzzled.

"Think about it, whether you look for it or not, isn't it all like this? Many things may not have results if you don't work hard, but if you have this time to work hard, maybe you can know the result in advance, right? In fact, to be honest, the country of Pujiao needs a spirit weapon for the elderly, and Jin Zhuzi wants the season of Laocheng to recover, to be honest, this is someone else's sorrow, not yours. ”

Hearing this, Nine Half immediately shrank his head out of the window. He turned his head to stare at Wei Xicheng's face and said, "Why not mine.....?

"What are you?" Wei Xicheng put away his Erlang leg and then sat up from the bed, and said to Jiu Ban: "Think about what you are going to do? Borrow the sky, complete the borrowing of the heavens to change your life, and then let your own country, the country of the burden, restore the country, right? But now, what are you doing now, you ask yourself." You're helping someone find something, or even trying to change the seasons of a city. Nine and a half, think about it, not only are you not working hard for your goal, but you are a bit sideways, you are not borrowing the sky now, you are trying to go against the sky!"

"But isn't everything going in a good direction? Moreover, friendship with the other countries of the Nine Kingdoms is theoretically beneficial to the great plan of recovering the country that I am responsible for. ”

"Nine-and-a-half, I'm a rough person, and I can use the knife technique. But rough people also understand that 'people's hearts are not ancient'. If you are good to others, they will really be good to you? You are not Bayu, can you be sure that after you help Pu Lao and Xuanyi, people will be able to really help you?" Wei Xi took a dart master, but at this moment his speech became more and more serious: "Do you think that if you were me, do you want one less country in this world, and then you would lose one less competitor?"

Wei Xicheng's words made nine and a half five thunders hit the top, and he was directly stunned on the spot. In fact, there is something wrong with Wei Xicheng tonight, it may be that he has been away from home for too long, and multiple emotions such as thoughts and thoughts are rolled together, Wei Xicheng thinks a lot tonight, and he is a person who can say whatever he wants, so he said these words.

"Okay, I'm sleeping, don't think too much, go to bed early, rest and work." Wei Xicheng, who seemed to feel that he was talking a little too much, but didn't know what to say, casually prevaricated, and then rolled on the quilt and went to sleep.

Wei Xicheng fell asleep, but Jiuhan couldn't sleep.

This man who calls himself a "rough man" is not rough in his words. Unpredictable people should actually be the norm, and it stands to reason that nine and a half have adapted to this state. After all, he is a prince of a dead country, and this situation and state of mind are indeed easy to take advantage of. As the saying goes, "the icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow", Jiuhan does understand this truth, and is ready to send due rewards to those who send charcoal in the snow in the future, but at this moment he can't help but start to recall carefully, in the end, is there someone around him who deliberately approached with the idea of sending charcoal in the snow, and finally waited for the icing on the cake?

The chaotic thoughts converged in his mind, entangled, and then exploded, and he couldn't help but start to recall and reflect on whether what he had done was right, whether it should be or not, whether it was worth it. Can't he just become a person who retreats from the world and cultivates and lives this life in peace? Should he bear this kind of identity chosen by God to accomplish some kind of mission? He also wanted to give up, but looking at those unforgettable faces in his dream, he felt that he was not born for himself.

And this night is destined to be sleepless.
