readx;?“ The spring silkworm is dead to the end, and the wax torch turns to ash and tears begin to dry. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoI hope that I will be like a candle, burning to the end, dedicating the last light and heat to relieve the pressure on the shoulders of the younger generation of thaumaturgists in the future. Don't blame me for being ruthless, I can only do my best to arrange the future, if there is any unfair decision, it is just that my intellectual barrier is limited, and I can't see a better way. As a parent, who doesn't want a bowl of water to be level, so that every child can develop freely according to their own destiny? She said sadly.

I looked at her silhouette with mixed feelings in my chest, and I couldn't help but feel the urge to bow down.

"What would you do if you were me?" she asked faintly.

In front of the old man and the young man, she was strong and stubborn, but here, when she was alone with me, she became gentle and weak, and poured out all her embarrassment and unhappiness.

I can't answer, because the "Double Dragon Seizure" is a classic example of physiognomy, and no wise person can turn a blind eye and pretend that the "Xuanwumen Change" does not exist.

The wise man is the star in this human world, and if even the wise man tells lies with a clear conscience, then the human world is not far from great destruction. Therefore, I must tell the truth, and I must admit that what she did was right, and "changing her life" for that baby was the most correct choice at this fork in the road in life.

Back then, when Li Shimin mobilized the heroes of Wagang Mountain in front of the Xuanwu Gate to besiege Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, he had already left his brotherhood behind, and only the future of the country and the country was in his eyes.

"It was born from the same root, so why be too anxious to fry each other" - long before Li Shimin, Cao Wei had already seen this problem very thoroughly.

"Tell me, what's the right thing to do?" the young woman was still waiting for my answer.

I remembered the night in the Tiegong Temple on the shore of Daming Lake ten years ago, watching my eldest brother Xia Cheng being slaughtered by the enemy, but I couldn't do anything.

"What you do is the right thing to do. I sighed.

"Really, you finally agree to this?" she said, surprised and delighted.

I smiled bitterly, even if I don't agree, what's the point? As soon as the "Phoenix Dance Nine Heavenly Dragon Sadness Return" acupuncture method came out, "changing one's life against the sky" has worked, so the baby's future destiny has been changed, is there any point in discussing?

"I hope that what you envisioned can come true, and that in the future, as you planned, the chains on the 'Imprisoned Dragon' will be opened, and it will soar higher than the sky. I say from the bottom of my heart.

Even though I knew the future outcome, I still deliberately lied to her, hoping that she would have a good vision before she died.

"Tiancheng will not let me down. There was a light in her eyes.

My heart was bleeding again, because I saw my eldest brother Xia Cheng being slaughtered with my own eyes, and Sang Qinghong said that she buried my eldest brother at the bottom of Daming Lake with her own hands. Now, there is no one in the world called "Xia Cheng", so this woman's plan has failed, whether it is "capturing the dragon" or "holding the dragon", there is no longer a dragon behind her.

Playing a good hand to the ground is a player's greatest sorrow. There is no doubt that this young woman did just that, destroying one of the two dragons, but the other dragon flew away and died in the middle of the way.

This is also fate, a "number of days" on top of another fate that she did not expect.

She thought she had glimpsed the heavens, but if she leaked the heavens, she would be punished by heaven. Then, the heavenly punishment given to her by God is - "losing her double dragon". When she instructed the old man to "change his life" to the baby with the "dragon in his hand", it was the moment when the curse came.

"yes, your kids are going to be very good. I whispered admiration.

"I have divined for him, and there is an auspicious aspect of 'Lan Zhou urging to the sun'. Lanzhou is the boat of the nobles, and the sun is the place where the sun rises, that is, the three immortal mountains of Penglai, Abbot and Yingzhou outside the East China Sea. This hexagram indicates that he can become the overlord of the East China Sea. She said.

I know the name of that hexagram because it appears in a text.

The name of the classic book is "The Legend of the Tang Rangers", written by a famous scholar in Hong Kong. In the book, that hexagram was divined by the first strange woman in the rivers and lakes at that time, the Red Whisk Girl, to the bearded guest, and it was extremely effective and caused a sensation for thousands of years. It was precisely because of this hexagram that the bearded man gave up his ambition to compete with Li Shimin, the king of Qin, for the Central Plains, and instead boarded a boat into the sea and established his own island country in the East China Sea.

The main meaning of this hexagram is to warn the diviner to seek development on the sea to the east, to build his career on boats, water, and islands, away from the mainland, and to develop like hydroponic plants, in order to find the sail of his destiny.

"Then we wish him success in the East China Sea. I responded to her.

At some point, the boy snuck in and lay on the young woman's lap.

"Do you want to hear my divination for the baby?" she asked again.

If the baby was who I am today, the predictions and divination of the past would no longer be meaningful, but I still nodded and signaled that I wanted to hear it.

"The water is not deep, there is a dragon. This is what I divined - the 'holding dragon' in his palm has been permanently sealed by the 'Phoenix Dance Nine Heavenly Dragon Sorrow', and he no longer has any spirituality, but he lives in the old house on Qushuiting Street, surrounded by spring water, gurgling endlessly, which is in line with the saying that 'water is not deep'. Maybe he is too young for me to see his future, but I believe that he will be a healthy, happy, and energetic child in the future. She smiled.

Outside, the baby began to cry again, and the whispers of young men coaxing the child followed. The baby cried a dozen times, and then he went heavily, and there was no movement.

"Are you feeling better?" she asked.

I nodded again, and the pain in the back of my head was much lessened, thanks to the bowl of herbs.

"If you're interested, in about two hours, and by three o'clock in the morning, I'm going to go to two places, Scissors Lane and Brocade Street, to eliminate the two strongholds of the 'Zhao Wanghui'—do you want to come and watch the battle together?" she asked.

I saw the glint of hope in her eyes, and immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'm willing." ”

She patted the child on her knee and whispered, "Tiancheng, bring my treasure sword." ”

The child was very obedient and immediately ran out of the door.

The young woman stood up, touched the lamp rope by the wall, and with a slight pull, click, the top light lit up.

The light was so dazzling that I immediately bowed my head.

"You see, what hangs on this wall is the ancestral sword book of my Xia clan. In the past, Dayu dominated the world, and divided the country into Kyushu, each state corresponds to a knife method, named 'Shenzhou Nine Knife'. For thousands of years, the world's knife techniques have changed again and again, and they have evolved into thousands of sects that are famous for their knives, but they have changed and changed, but they have always been within this 'Nine Swords of Shenzhou'. As long as the descendants of the Xia clan learn these sword scores, they will be invincible in the world in the era of cold weapons. She said softly.

After my eyes adjusted to the bright light, I slowly looked up and looked at the four walls. Sure enough, except for the wall with the door, the other three walls hung an extremely long horizontal scroll, with a total length of at least fifteen meters, and it was full of small people practicing wielding knives.

The ancient book "Shangshu Yu Gong" records that Yu divides the world into Kyushu, which are Ji, Yan, Qing, Xu, Yang, Jing, Yu, Liang and Yong.

In the Han Dynasty, Liu Xiang recorded in "Saying Yuan? Distinguishing Things": There are four seas within the eight wildernesses, and there are nine states within the four seas.

Tang Dynasty exegete Yan Shigu explained: The eight wildernesses are the barren and faraway places in the eight directions.

"Erya Shidi" records: Jiuyi, Badi, Qirong, and Six Barbarians are called the four seas.

Within Kyushu, there are five lakes.

"Water Jing Note" records: The five lakes are Changdang Lake, Taihu Lake, Shooting Lake, Guihu Lake, and Zhuhu Lake.

On top of the ancient scrolls, the ancient maps of the Eight Wilderness, the Four Seas, Kyushu, and the Five Lakes are used as the background, and the wisps are endless, connecting the ancient continents as a whole. And the countless knife-wielding villains are wantonly stabbing under the sky, above the earth, on the shore of the sea, and on the shore of the lake, with simple and simple moves, and their own moves, which I have never seen before.

She stood at the door, waited for the boy to run back, reached out to take the knife, and commanded sternly in a low voice: "Tiancheng, you are guarding outside, and no one is allowed to come in, not even yourself." ”

The child withdrew, and she closed the door gently, and listened to it for a while, before returning with the short knife with the gray scabbard.

"This is the ancestral sword of my Xia clan. She said.

The surface of the scabbard was extremely rough, and there were many small abrupt pits, presumably once inlaid with precious stones or gold beads, which had fallen over time, leaving only these empty pits.

I estimate that the total length of the scabbard is less than two feet, so the blade hidden in it is only about one and a half feet, and the handle is half a foot long, so the total length of the knife is only about two feet.

In the era of cold weapons, the key to "one inch short, one inch dangerous, one inch long, one inch strong", the two-foot-long short knife can only fight the enemy in close combat, and between raising your hands, it is a battle of life and death.

"To be a man, you must always be fair. "No one can make a bowl of water, but we try to do it so that every child gets some compensation." ”

I understood her voice, since she eliminated the "dragon holding" in the baby's palm, she would definitely pass on the ancestral "Shenzhou Nine Blades" and this peerless treasure knife to the baby. Then, the older child retains the power of the "imprisoned dragon", and should no longer get involved in swordsmanship and treasure swords.

For the sake of fairness, she separated the two stunts and let the two children inherit them fairly, which seems to be reasonable, but in fact it is unwise and a little pedantic.

According to the modern people's point of view, if the eldest child has both the power of the "dragon prisoner" and the advantage of the sword, then he will definitely be able to carry forward the family and become a peerless master for a while. When he is proud enough to be proud, he can naturally protect the baby without any worries.

"The stronger the stronger, take everything" - this is the most shrewd and utilitarian approach of the modern wise man, although vulgar, but effective.

With a "click", she pulled her knife out of its sheath.

The blade of the knife was very dark, and the blade was not only not the kind of snow bright and windy, but it was a little black, as if it had not been used for a long time, and there was a faint layer of mildew.

"This knife is given to you, and the knife book is also given to you, and one day in the future, you will be able to pass on the knife technique to that innocent baby. If you are willing, please tell him that we have tried our best to be fair, but there are many things in the world that do not depend on human willpower. Please don't blame me, and I hope he lives well and fights for a better future. She said.

When I took the knife with both hands, and when I held the handle with my right hand, I suddenly felt that the blade was more than twice as heavy as I had visually measured, at least about 15 kilograms.

"Will you tell him?" she asked again.

I nodded: "I must obey my fate." ”

"There are still three hours before we set off for Scissors Lane on Yinhuchi Street, which means that you only have three hours to read these knife scores. For the average person, three hours is nothing more than a few cigarettes, a meal, and a few streets, but I'm sure you won't waste a second—" She turned and walked to the door, opened the door and walked out.

When she turned back and closed the door, she looked at me again, her eyes full of hope.

I turned my face away to look at the knife sheet on the wall, the heat rolling in my chest, and I couldn't help but cry again.
