As soon as Zhou Chong's words came out, the old man immediately became happy, patted Zhou Chong's shoulder, and said, "I really didn't misunderstand you." ”

"Do you want an invitation to Dongming Island? Or do you want to go? Zhou Chong asked for details: "In what name should I go, or in my own name." ”

"Don't have an invitation, you can go in your personal name. However, a referee is required. The thin old man said.

"Referrers? I don't have it, who to look for? Zhou Chong asked confusedly.

"I happen to have a copy here, yesterday I went out to teach a disciple of the Qingcheng Sect, and he took a letter of recommendation. But I'm going to wronged you, impostor. The thin old man said and took out a gilt bookmark from his pocket, Zhou Chong took it and opened it, and the name on it almost made him faint: iron-clad gold.

What is the name of this Tibetan mastiff breed?

Zhou Chong was a little indignant in his heart.

Perhaps seeing Zhou Chong's unpleasantness, the thin old man hurriedly comforted Zhou Chong and said: "The name is just a codename, just a codename, you don't need to care too much." ”

"Can't you just choose a better codename? Iron-clad gold, iron-clad gold, directly called the Tibetan mastiff has a lot of momentum. Zhou Chong couldn't help but complain. Hearing Zhou Chong's words, the thin old man just smiled and didn't continue to investigate.

After a pause, the thin old man continued, "Let's discuss how to act after we go to Dongming Island, right?" ”

"No need." Zhou Chong waved his hand and rejected the thin old man, he had his own thoughts: "It's empty to talk about these now, because I don't even know what Dongming Island is now, and I don't know who I will meet. ”

"You have a point in saying that, so do what you say." The thin old man nodded, and then said to Zhou Chong: "It is very likely that you will die this time, are you afraid?" ”

"Don't be afraid." Zhou Chong smiled and shook his head, he had confidence in himself, he said very calmly: "I'm not going to be a hero, I'm just going to save people, I can save as much as I can, but I will never put my life in it in order to save people." Because, I'm not a hero, I'm not a hero who sacrificed myself. ”

"I really like your idea." The thin old man said appreciatively: "If I met you when I was young, we would definitely be able to become good friends." ”

"Why not now?" Zhou Chong shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't think it's too late for you to make friends with me. ”

"It's late." The thin old man shook his head, pointed to his lungs, and said, "I smoke too much, and it's no longer good here." Now, if I became friends with you, wouldn't you be very sad if I died at that time? I'm a carefree person, and I don't like to see people crying at my grave. ”

"You're really free." Zhou Chong gave a thumbs up, he did like the style of a thin old man. When he said this, he opened his perspective eyes by the way, glanced at the thin old man, and found that his lungs were indeed no longer possible to be saved, this was no longer an organ damage, no matter how strong Zhou Chong's ability was, he couldn't be cured.

The thin old man didn't know why, but he opened the conversation box because of this, and only listened to him say in a whisper: "My name is Li Yangniao, and my name was changed by myself, I think such a name is very chic, but now it looks more like a joke." I was born in a martial arts family, and I have an elder brother in the family, so I don't have to take responsibility for anything, anyway, every qiē inheritance is inherited by my brother. When he was young, he went around causing trouble, bullying the weak, offending many people, killing people, and doing things that harmed the people. When I was thirty years old, my family was served by someone, and I haven't found the murderer until now, I only know that the murderer robbed our family's knife book and went to Taiwan. At the age of thirty-five, she found a woman and gave birth to a daughter, who died in childbirth. finally pulled his daughter up, but was deceived by a prodigal son again, and finally gave her life. I wanted to take revenge, but I was poisoned and couldn't exert my strength, so I could only watch it...... Scold! ”

Li Yangniao sighed, this sad smile had both dissatisfaction with fate and the meaning of being content with destiny, complex and profound to the extreme.

When Zhou Chong heard this, he felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't know what to say.

At this time, Li Yangniao turned around and asked Zhou Chong, "Do you say there is such a thing as retribution in this world?" The suffering I endured in the second half of my life is because I did a lot of sin in the first half of my life, right? ”

"I don't know." Zhou Chong shook his head and replied very sincerely: "I haven't reached the moment to comprehend life yet. ”

"I don't know." Li Yangniao shook his head, half loudly, and his cloudy eyes were full of tears. Zhou Ran felt that the old man in front of him was a little sad, his life experience was even more pitiful than his own, compared to him, the sins he suffered in the previous eighteen years were nothing.

"I don't know if it's retribution, but I'm now starting to believe that good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded, so I won't shirk anything I can to help. I just hope that my granddaughter will have some good luck and not be affected by me. Li Yangniao continued.

"Yes, yes, Nishang will reap good luck." Zhou Chong echoed.

"I hope so." Li Yangniao nodded, then turned around, took out an extremely simple book from his bag, handed it to Zhou Chong, and said, "This is our Li family's flying knife book. It's not the original, it's something I wrote out from memory, there are a lot of personal opinions and a lot of mistakes, this is not a foreign biography, if you find the only book of the Li family's knife genealogy. Please help me keep it, and when Nishang gives birth to a boy, I will pass it on to him, so that he can study hard and be a good person. ”

As he spoke, he took out a knife bag from his baggage, and inside the knife bag were nine golden flying knives, as thin as cicada wings, but extremely sharp. Li Yangniao handed the flying knife to Zhou Chong, and then said: "Please keep this for me, if necessary, you can also use it, just wipe it clean after use." ”

Zhou Chong took the flying knife and didn't say anything, he knew that the old man was about to die, and he was not far from death. So now he regards this as his last words, and he will do everything he explains.

After explaining this, Li Yangniao breathed a sigh of relief, and then said slowly: "I may not live long." ”

Although Zhou Chong knew that he would not live long, when this sentence came out of Li Yangniao's mouth himself, he still felt that it was a little too cruel. It takes more courage than admitting defeat to admit impending death.

"Can you grant me a request?" Li Yangniao's cloudy eyes stared at Zhou Chong's eyes seriously, without moving, and said, "Can you help me take care of Nishang, she has you in her heart, I can see it." ”

"Yes, of course." Zhou Chong nodded and said, "But I don't promise to marry her, because this matter is not something that can be achieved by agreeing, life is full of too many variables, and love is even more so." ”

"You are a reliable person, if you are willing to take care of her, she will definitely be fine." After Li Yangniao finished talking about a series of heavy topics, he finally showed a smile: "I can't be wrong." ”

Zhou Chong didn't know how to answer Li Yangniao's false praise, but just laughed: "Hehe." ”

At this time, Nishang knocked on the door outside: "Grandpa, what are you doing inside?" ”

"Nothing, explain something." Li Yangniao turned around and replied loudly, and whispered to Zhou Chong: "I will leave quietly this afternoon, I have already found a piece of feng shui treasure land for myself, I don't want Nishang to see me die, so at least she has a hope in her heart: grandpa may not be dead." Maybe he'll hate me for saying goodbye, but I really don't want to see her face in tears. ”

"Okay, I'll take care of her." Zhou Chong made a promise very seriously. Listening to Zhou Chong's promise, Li Yangniao's heart became more steady. Originally, he didn't know how to deal with his departure, but now after explaining to Zhou Chong, he felt much more relaxed.

With that, Li Yangniao walked over and opened the door, letting Nishang walk in. Nishang came in and saw that Zhou Chong was actually wiping the corners of his eyes, and quipped: "Yo, there is no wind and sand in the room?" Why are you blind? ”

"Who says you can't lose your eyes without sand?" Zhou Chong returned the salute, but his feelings were not so cheerful, because he was still immersed in the sadness brought to him by Li Yangniao.

A woman's sixth sense is extremely keen, and at that moment, Nishang saw Zhou Chong's strangeness, and hurriedly asked, "Why are you weird?"

was asked by Ni Shang, and Zhou Chong suddenly didn't know how to answer. At this time, Li Yangniao relieved him: "Okay, you can get out, next time let me find out that there is something wrong with you, be careful that I kill you." ”

"Yes." Zhou Chong hurriedly borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and hurriedly left the room after respectfully agreeing.

Zhou Chong walked out of the room and breathed a sigh of relief, but Li Yangniao inside was entangled by Ni Shang and asked why he was so angry with Zhou Chong, and scolded him for crying. As for what reason Li Yangniao made up to lie, Zhou Chong didn't know, anyway, when he was eating at noon, Ni Sheng looked at Zhou Chong with strange eyes. Ambiguity is not like ambiguity, dislike is not like disgust, in short, it is very weird.

After eating, Li Yangniao said that he wanted to go out for a walk. Nishang didn't know the inside story, thinking that her grandfather was just going out for a walk, and she didn't go out with her after telling her to be careful on the road, where did she know that this farewell would be a farewell. Zhou Chong, an insider, watched from the side and sighed very emotionally: It turns out that life and death are not so far away.
