Chapter 5: Seven Years of One Dream
The sunlight shines through the window lattice, sprinkling a jagged spot of light on the pineapple wood case of some years, the light and shadow are intertwined, reflecting a pattern of rich begonias, and a purple gold incense burner stands in the backlit shadow next to the pattern, and wisps of smoke rise from the hollow holes, making the study room filled with a light incense.
In front of the pineapple case, Yan Bieli sat quietly in a wheelchair, his eyes were slightly closed, leaving only a trace of gaps, this year he was only twenty and four, his nose was straight and his lips were thin, his face was like a knife, and his appearance was very elegant and handsome, just because he stayed in the room all the year round, rarely saw the sun, and his face was pale with a sickly paleness.
The servants and slaves in the Yan Mansion all know that the eldest prince has been particularly fond of being alone since his legs are crippled, and now there is no one else in the room, it seems very quiet, and the only sound is the sound of Yan Bieli's thumb gently flicking the sandalwood Buddha beads on his hands.
At present, both inside and outside the Yan Mansion are busy with the funeral of Yan Chengbi, the second son of the Yan family, for this lustful younger brother, Yan Bieli dislikes it very much, and similarly, for the father who has gradually become indifferent and alienated from him since he lost the competition with others, and the bone meridians of his legs have been shattered.
Now that the younger brother who doesn't agree with him, finds fault when he has something, and provokes him when he has nothing to do, suddenly died, Yan Bieli didn't have any joy and joy in his heart, but only a solemnity.
What was originally destined to happen was like a river flowing in a clear direction, but the death of Yan Chengbi was like a beginning, which caused the river to diverge, and the introduction that led the divergence to happen was a name that sounded very unfamiliar to him.
Don't be frivolous!
Da Da Da ......
The faint sound of footsteps sounded in the study, interrupting Yan Bieli's thoughts, and his slightly closed eyes opened, only to see an old man who was over the age of ten walking in with a food box, and put the food box on the wooden table in front of Yan Bieli with a kind smile, and then opened the lid of the box, and took out a bowl of porridge, a pair of jade chopsticks, and two dishes of vegetarian dishes.
"Son, it's time for breakfast. After putting the food and chopsticks in turn, the old man said in a kind tone.
The porridge is red date glutinous rice porridge, and the dish is a vegetarian dish that is not stained with meat, which looks excellent and has a fragrant aroma, but Yan Bieli does not mean to move chopsticks at all, but said in a light tone: "Uncle Lu, let's put the food here first, I'll eat it later." ”
Lu Bo frowned and persuaded: "It's been a while since this meal was made, and it will be cold if you put it away again, so the eldest prince should eat it while it's hot first." ”
"This is not in a hurry, it is okay to eat it when it is colder. ”
Yan Bieli's eyes closed, and his gaze at Lu Bo flickered, and a faint murderous intent quietly appeared in his eyes, and after a while, it dissipated and receded.
Lu Bo didn't notice the murderous intent in Yan Bieli's eyes, but he was a little unnatural to look at it, and while wiping his face with his hands, he smiled awkwardly: "The eldest prince looks at the old slave like this, could it be that there is something on the old slave's face?"
"It's something, compared to more than ten years ago, there are a lot more wrinkles on Lu Bo's face. ”
Yan Beili said slowly, and then said with a bit of nostalgia in his eyes: "I still remember when I was a child, I once fell from a tree while climbing a tree, broke my head, and bled nonstop, or Lu Bo, you took medicine for me! ”
Lu Bo didn't understand why Yan Bieli suddenly mentioned this, but he still sighed with emotion: "Yes! So many years have passed in a blink of an eye! The old slaves have become gray-haired little old men." ”
Yan Bei was silent for a moment, as if he remembered something, and asked again: "By the way, Uncle Lu, how many years have you been in our Yan Mansion?"
Lu Bo replied truthfully: "The old slave came to Yanfu after being rescued by the old master from a gang of horse bandits, and it has been almost forty years now!"
Hearing this, Yan Bieli was a little stunned: "It's been forty years! How many forty years are there in a person's life?" Uncle Lu, you have served three generations of our ancestors and grandchildren, and you are so old, it is time to enjoy the blessings, and I will buy a house for you in the city for Uncle Lu another day, so that you can live and settle down, and live for a long time, and ...... Then call a sensible maid from the house to serve you, don't do everything yourself. ”
With a flattered look on his face, Lu Bo shook his head again and again and said: "How can this make it natural for the old slave to serve the master of the family and the son, the kindness of the eldest prince is remembered by the old slave, but the eldest son must not be asked to break the money for the old slave." ”
At the end of the sentence, he added: "Besides, the eldest prince has not had a good time in the past few years, so you can still save this money." ”
Yan Bieli looked down at his legs covered by the blanket, and said lightly: "It's not easy, but I still have this little spare money, Uncle Lu, I'll ask you again in the end, you really don't want it?"
"Don't!" Lu Bo said categorically, but he was secretly suspicious in his heart.
Yan Beili usually doesn't talk much, especially after his legs are crippled, he is even more silent, but today he is babbling so much, is he aware of something, or is he sincerely thinking about himself?
"Don't just talk to the old slave, come, let's eat the meal while it's hot, it's really not good for the child's health to eat it when it's cold!"
Suppressing the doubt in his heart, Lu Bo said as he was about to pick up the bowl of gruel, but when he raised his hand, he was pressed by Yan Beili's wrist, and his face couldn't help showing a look of astonishment, looking at Yan Beili.
"Eldest prince, you are ......"
Yan Beili didn't say a word, just gently moved his hand away, his eyes were as calm as stagnant water, and he looked at Lu Bo with a calm expression.
Lu Bo's heart was sudden, and he only felt that Yan Bieli's gaze seemed to shine into the bottom of his heart, under these eyes, he was as if he was naked, and he was seen through, and there was no secret at all.
Unconsciously, Lu Bo's face and forehead were already dripping with cold sweat......
When he was young, Yan Bei left his mouth to speak, and the cold killing intent in his eyes resurfaced, this time...... There is no hiding in the slightest!
"Uncle Lu, since I was governor, you have always been taking care of me, and I am not a ruthless person, I dare not forget the love of incense for twenty years, so even if I know that you have bad intentions, I also pretend not to know, pretend to be nothing, just want to give you a chance, but unfortunately, you didn't seize the opportunity I gave you!"
Mo Qingge's words were soft, there was no anger that should be there, and his voice was also not loud, but every word fell into Lu Bo's ears, no less than a thunderbolt.
Lu Bo's eyes widened, he staggered back a few steps, stared at Yan Bieli, the hand under the sleeve robe trembled slightly, clenched and loosened, and after a long while, Fang sighed and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"The eldest prince already knows everything, and the old slave no longer quibbles, the old slave has been favored by the Yan family for three generations, if it is not for the unavoidable hardship, even if he has a thousand cuts, he will not do such an ungrateful thing. ”
"Once something is done, whether voluntarily or forced, there is a corresponding price to pay. ”
Speaking lightly, Yan Bieli picked up the teacup on the wooden table, took a shallow sip of the tea that had been cold for a long time, and rubbed his fingers against the delicate lines on the side wall of the teacup, but did not immediately move.
He knows Lu Bo well, and Lu Bo, who thinks he knows everything about him...... In fact, I don't know much about him.
In fact, there has always been a secret buried deep in Yan Bieli's heart, that is...... He lived seven years longer than ordinary people, and during these seven years he had been living in an extremely real dream, which began with his crippled legs, and then experienced the first three years of extremely depressed people, and the fourth year of the tragic destruction of Yanfu.
In that catastrophe, he survived alone, his legs recovered unexpectedly, and in the next two years, he accidentally obtained part of the inheritance of the Ten Thousand Tribulation Demon Sect, and his cultivation made great progress, and finally he was only one step away from entering the realm of heaven and man.
It's a pity that in the seventh year of the dream, the Shenzhou chaos, the disappeared ancient immortals and demons began to recover, ushering in an unprecedented world, the grand occasion far exceeded the battle between the two dynasties a hundred years ago, the Great War of the Hundred Sects, but the great world is also a catastrophe, Yan Bieli died in a shocking battle, and then ......
Wake up from a dream!
He had returned to the time when his legs had just been crippled, but in his mind, he had more Nine Dead Heavenly Silkworm Demon Sutras, one of the three major demon scriptures of the Ten Thousand Tribulation Demon Sect, as well as several long-lost demon path masters, and more importantly, he still retained the memories of the seven years in that dream.
In the three years since he woke up from the dream, everything that happened around him has completely coincided with the first three years of that dream, and it is the same!
The only difference is that his younger brother, who was supposed to die today, died three days earlier, and his father also received a war letter that should not have existed, and this morning he avoided everyone in the house and went to war alone.
These meals, Lu Bo was supposed to give them to his younger brother, and threatened his father with his life, asking him to use his own blood to unseal the blood source spar in the family's forbidden land, and take out the ominous thing sealed in the blood source spar!
Whoever touches it will die of madness after middle age.
But in that dream, his legs with broken bones and meridians were recovered because of this ominous thing, and later Yan Bieli learned that this ominous thing sealed in the blood source spar actually contained the secret of immortals and demons.
Immortals and demons! A transcendent existence above all living beings! Destroying mountains and mountains, turning rivers and seas, for that kind of existence, but it is regarded as idle, and more importantly, the word immortal and demon means immortality, and the word immortality contains everything.
However, Yan Bei left the empty guard of Baoshan, but there was no way to crack it.
The reason why Yan Bieli is still staying in Yan Mansion now is because of the secret of the immortals and demons contained in that ominous thing.
Yan Bieli has a very firm heart to the Tao, in order to become a great road, seven feelings can be thrown, six relatives can be killed, this mystery of the fairy and demon is bound to him to win!
Gently putting down the teacup, Yan Bieli said loudly: "How long will the three people outside the house hide their heads and show their tails?
No one answered outside the house, but inside the house, there were three more people silently.
Two men and one woman!
The man in the center is dressed in a black suit, his face is like a sculpture, he is heroic and heroic, and his spirit is very extraordinary, the man standing on his left side has an ordinary appearance and an ordinary figure, and he belongs to the kind of ordinary people who can't be recognized when he is thrown in the crowd, the only thing that is not ordinary is his hand, which is extremely long, and it is almost over the knee when it hangs down!
On the right side of the high-spirited man is a young girl, the girl's face is like a peach blossom in March, her eyes are like autumn waves, she is charming and pretty, the narrow-sleeved purple tight top on her body outlines the majesty of the chest, the slender jade legs are round and tight in the knee-length purple-blue folded flower skirt, and the beautiful jade feet are covered with straw sandals woven by fine wisteria, and the exposed toes are plump and soft.
The girl is very beautiful, and a pair of beautiful eyes are also looking at Yan Bieli with interest at the moment.
After the three appeared, Lu Bo had already stepped aside and looked at the three of them, especially the Angzang man's eyes were both fearful and hateful.
The man seemed to have sensed something, glanced at Lu Bo coldly, and then looked at Yan Bieli, with a murderous aura on his body, and asked in a deep voice: "About us, Yan Gongzi seems to know a lot?"
Yan Bieli didn't care about the aggressive murderous aura of the Angzang man at all, his thumb gently flicked the Buddha beads in his hand, and said undeniably: "I do know a lot!"
Yan's parting attitude made the Angzang man a little puzzled, and he couldn't help but ask tentatively again: "Then can Yan Gongzi tell me what else do you know besides knowing that the food is poisonous and that this old man is being coerced by us?"
"What else do you know?"
Smiling, Yan Bielaway glanced at the three of them, and said flatly: "I still know the names of the three of you!"
"Mo Xuan, Xia Qiu, Li Yaohua!"
