0033 Looking at the sky
Although the old man Bai Changgeng was not the head of the Bai family when he was young, he was the most talented one among the young generation of the Bai family at that time, and he was very talented in trapping, and he was the strongest jade picker who supported the Bai family's expenses at that time.

It is precisely because of this that he was a prodigal in his youth and had entanglements with many women. In the Drifting Snow City after the Bloody Rain Disaster, this is not a time, the status of women is low, and an outstanding young man from a big family like Bai Changgeng naturally has the right to have many women.
But love came suddenly, and he fell in love with a special girl, who was average-looking and not from a big family, but she was a rare female jade picker, with outstanding skills and heroic posture. What's even more commendable is that Bai Changgeng saw in this girl the self-reliance and self-improvement and gentle and kind heart that most girls in the last days do not have, so she attracted him like a unique plum in Drifting Snow City.
Everything develops like Cinderella, and he gives up his prodigal life, breaks off all his girlfriends, and marries the girl. The two fell in love after marriage and soon had a child. At this time, Bai Changgeng had completely put his mind into the family, hoping to be a good husband and father.
At that time, the Bai family was facing a big change, and it was the time when he had just joined the city lord's line and needed a letter of nomination. Bai Changgeng, as the most outstanding young man of the Bai family, naturally has a heavy task. The elders of the Bai family decided to gather 3,000 blood jades to give to the Drifting Snow City Lord within a year, and hoped that the juniors in the family would be able to marry the relatives and daughters of other families in the City Lord's lineage, so as to consolidate the family's position in the City Lord's lineage.
Bai Changgeng naturally refused, and under the heavy pressure of the family, he boasted that Haikou promised to take on the collection of a thousand blood jades by himself, in exchange for the goal of an improper marriage.
A thousand blood jades are a lot of money for anyone, not to mention that although Bai Changgeng was talented back then, he was not a few years older than Xue An now, and his ability was limited after all. The only way to accomplish the objective is to find the lair of the Beast Overlord. Those fierce beast overlords who are in charge of a ferocious beast tend to collect some blood jade in their caves, and no one knows the reason for this so far. The old man Bai was lucky enough to find the traces of an adult sky-looking dragon while exploring the wilderness, and tracked it to the vicinity of its old nest.
The old man was young and vigorous, and after a months-long exploration and careful planning, he decided to carry out a big operation and sneak into the old lair that looked at the sky. He didn't dare to tell his wife about this incident because it was too dangerous, but his wife, who was a jade picker with keen senses and dexterity, secretly discovered his plan, and couldn't help but worry about him.
Finally, on the day he was about to set out, his wife had a showdown with him, and she wanted to go with him to infiltrate the lair of Wangtianqiu. Bai Changgeng naturally refused, but his wife used the child as a threat, so he had no choice but to agree to the two of them on the road together.
Although the journey was thrilling, the husband and wife were both excellent, and with a little luck, the two of them really touched the nest of Wangtianqiu. They were overjoyed to find mountains of blood jade there, but they still suppressed their impulses and only took nearly two thousand of them with them to prevent the weight from slowing down their movements.
Unfortunately, when they were about to escape from the cave, they encountered Wangtian, who was returning to the cave, and was blocked in the cave. The size of the sky-looking dragon is like a hill, but it can still move like the wind, so that the two of them have no chance to escape.
But the result at that time was beyond the expectations of the two, they didn't expect that Wangtian, as the overlord of the fierce beast, actually had intelligence beyond ordinary humans, and obviously communicated with humans and understood human language. The two of them had already fallen into a dead state at that time, and when they encountered such a change, they didn't think too much about it, and communicated with Wangtianqiang, telling Wangtianqian the reason why they came to the cave to steal the blood jade.
That Wangtian was very generous, and instead of killing the two of them, he really allowed them to take away the thousand blood jades that were delivered to the family task. It's just that in exchange, the two of them can no longer enter Wangtianji's sphere of influence, nor can they reveal the location of his lair to others. When the Celestial Gazer learned that the two of them were married and had children, he asked them to swear to the true God with the lives of their sons.
The husband and wife are naturally happy to accept this exchange of conditions, the wilderness is so big, they will definitely be able to bypass Wangtianji's sphere of influence in the future. Until I walked out of the nest of Wangtian, it was still like living in a dream, and it felt that everything was not real.
Sure enough, as soon as they walked out of Wangtian's lair, they were besieged by a large group of fierce beasts. Rao is two of them are excellent, but they can't withstand the crazy attack of a large group of fierce beasts that can't kill or hurt, and they will soon die.
Bai Changgeng's wife sacrificed herself at the last moment, and after the sneak attack knocked him out, the burning soul origin led away the fierce beast, leaving the Bai family's secret life-saving beacon in place. The wife of the burning soul origin was as dazzling as the sun in the eyes of the fierce beast, and they all chased her away frantically, ignoring Bai Changgeng who fell to the ground.
When he woke up again, he had already been rescued by the Bai family and returned to Drifting Snow City, and he was lucky enough to pass out outside the wilderness for two hours without being discovered by the beast.
His wife's life and death are unknown, and although the person who burned the soul origin has never been able to live for three days, he still wants to see his wife for the last time, and despite the opposition of everyone in the family, he resolutely decides to go out to the city gate again to find his wife.
But at this time, another thunderbolt came that his son, who had been in the mansion, had disappeared out of thin air, and no one saw a trace, as if he had been erased from the world by a hand.
He remembered the oath he had made with Wangtian, and remembered that he had sworn to the true god at the cost of his son's life. At this time, the old man at home told him that Wangtianqian had a quirk, and although he liked to eat people, his love for his nest was close to cleanliness, and he never ate in his nest.
......
"Since then, all I've done for the rest of my life has been to kill the Heaven-Gazing Beast. It's just that the path I chose is not quite right, my method requires me to set the trap without the slightest killing intent towards the beast, I can't do it, I will always think of my wife and children. When Old Man Bai said this, his face was still flat, but his voice was much lower.
Xue An opened his mouth and wanted to comfort something, but he felt that it was inappropriate, and finally could only look at Old Man Bai dryly. It was hard for him to imagine the days when he hypnotized himself for decades in order to kill the beast, but there was always the ghost of his wife and children haunting him.
Old Man Bai seems to be much more indifferent than Xue An, decades of hatred have long been ground to the bones, and now that he mentions it, he can still face it calmly.
"I'm telling you this mainly because of my selfishness. Old Man Bai said very clearly, "This pilgrimage, life and death are unknown, and I can't let go of this matter as soon as I am old." Xue boy, your talent is really good, not as good as your grandfather's back then, plus you can kill the fierce beast with your own hands, so I believe that one day, maybe you can help me kill that Wangtian. ā
There is no love and hate in the world for no reason, these days, Old Man Bai has taught himself the skills of the machine, and he has been targeted by the Lord of Drifting Snow City for the sake of the Xue family, and Xue An has seen it in his eyes. Old Man Bai is a somewhat eccentric old man, but he is also a good teacher and elder.
Xue An nodded earnestly to Old Man Bai.
"Of course, I'm telling you this story for other reasons. I want to remind you that the girl in your house that day was very similar to my wife. Persistent, stubborn, but with a kind heart, if you marry her, be careful not to go my way. As far as I know, that girl is from the same background as the one in my family, and she is not treated by the big family, and your future road will be difficult. ā
Old Man Bai actually knew the background of the assassin girl that day, which made Xue An very surprised, and couldn't help but ask:
"Do you know where she came from?"
"Isn't it that Freemason in the slums, do you think I'll take you as an apprentice without knowing your affairs clearly? The goal of their Freemasonry is too big, and the **** has seen her in your room, so naturally he has to investigate her for you.
She's a good girl, just like the one in my family. ā
