The cool moonlight accompanied by the evening breeze quietly sprinkled on the bluestone in the courtyard, grandpa stretched out his rough hand and touched a handful of bluestone, looked at the palm, and then climbed up the bluestone, took out a pipe from his arms, skillfully pulled out a roll of tobacco leaves from a small box he carried, and filled it in. Xue Yi walked to the kitchen knowingly, lit a wheat straw in the stove, and came over to help his grandfather light the pipe.

"Come up and sit down, this stone is cool. The pipe flickered in the night, framing Grandpa's wrinkled face.

Xue Yi silently stepped on the wheat straw, climbed the bluestone as soon as he turned over, and sat side by side beside his grandfather.

I remembered that in the summer nights when I was a child, Xue Yi and my grandfather often sat here. Xue Yi counted the stars in the sky, and his grandfather told him those magical and distant stories from beyond the heavy mountains. Listening to this, the young Xue Yi fell asleep.

"Say it. Tell me what has happened to you these days. Although I don't have much culture, I'm not old and confused, and I can see some things better than you as a young man. Grandpa knocked his pipe on the edge of the bluestone and said.

Xue Yi was silent for a while, straightened out his thoughts, and began to speak slowly.

With the moonlight, Xue Yi started from Zhou Shang helping him cultivate five years ago, and told in detail. Among them, Xue Yi also told his grandfather about some realm divisions in combat power cultivation and explained some necessary knowledge. Soon, Xue Yi talked about his experience of the same elemental awakening under the traction of Zhou Shang's elemental awakening.

"I awakened the natal element in the Zhou Mansion, which triggered the vision of heaven and earth, and also alarmed the mansion master and a Supreme Elder. They dared to come over, only to find that my physique turned out to be the dual limit elements of light and darkness. Xue Yi said slowly.

At this time, it was the middle of the moon, and every household in the small village had already turned off the lights, but the faint light was still shining in the hall of their small courtyard.

"Light and Darkness Dual Extreme Elemental ......" Grandpa pronounced this term a little jerky, and after thinking for a while, he said, "You told me that people who have both light and dark elements can't cultivate, right?"

"Hmm. Moreover, my physique is quite special, although I can't cultivate, I actually have two extreme elements at the same time. Even the lord of the Zhou Mansion regretted it. ”

"That's why you told me before that you couldn't cultivate, right?"

Xue Yi nodded silently.

Grandpa sighed leisurely. He could imagine what kind of struggle the child had to go through before he went home, so that he could be so unwavering when he talked to him.

"After ......"

Next, Xue Yi also told about the process of meeting Haiyuan on the night before January and worshipping Haiyuan as a teacher after that. Of course, in the process, he also mentioned the changes in Tian Yuan Town's demon fingers, and asked his grandfather the question that he had been saving in his heart for a long time.

"Grandpa, who is my mother? Who is my father? Don't hide it from me anymore. From the strength of Tian Yuan Town's demon finger, I can see that my mother is definitely not an ordinary person. Where are they now?"

Looking at Xue Yi's eyes that were still bright in the dark night, Grandpa was silent for a long time before he spoke again: "According to you, although the identity of that Lord Haiyuan is unknown, he is kind to worry, and he is also very good to you, and he sincerely tells you that you are unlearned." Alas, my future is so secure, and I am relieved. Originally, I heard that you couldn't continue to cultivate, and I was prepared to keep this secret in my heart all the time. After all, you are not strong enough, even if you are told, it is useless, it is just a trouble. However, now that you have solved your physical problems and have such a good master, I will say it in advance. ”

Hearing this, Xue Yi hurriedly cheered up. Because he knew that he might have to hear the secret he had been longing for.

"Just like you did when you were a kid, listen to me tell a story. Grandpa took a puff of his cigarette, exhaled a large cloud of mist, and spoke slowly.

"That winter ten years ago, I was chopping firewood in the back mountains. I wasn't very old at the time, but your grandmother had already passed away. My only unsuccessful son went hunting in the mountains with others, and he was attacked by a monster and never came back. So, at that time, I was alone. ”

Xue Yi's eyes widened. He could hear the sadness in his grandfather's words. The loss of a wife and children in old age, even if it has been ten years now, is still heartbreaking to say. However, Xue Yi could also hear that the person who died in the mouth of the Demon Beast was not his father. So, isn't he his grandfather's own grandson?

"In the winter forest, the ground is covered with thick snow. In that kind of solar term, no one in the forest will come except for woodcutter and hunting. But just as I was about to go down the mountain with the chopped wood on my back, the wind howled in the air, and several figures suddenly flew down from the sky.

"The leader was a woman, and at the same time, there were several men dressed as guards, all dressed in golden armor, the swords in their hands were stained with blood, and they were all evil, and they looked like powerful cultivators. ”

"That woman is about thirty, but she is extremely beautiful, and I am afraid I have never seen such a beautiful woman in my life. However, she looked extremely haggard, with blood oozing from the corners of her mouth, her hair disheveled, and her clothes stained with blood. But her body also exudes a powerful aura, and she is also a good powerhouse. ”

"When I saw this group of people and felt their powerful aura, I was very frightened. But after all, I am also a person who has seen the world, and I forcibly calmed down, and told them that I am just an ordinary person chopping wood, and I have mercy on my lords, and I have not seen anything. ”

"However, when I looked a little, they didn't seem to be coming for me. And they seem to be in trouble too. The woman seemed anxious, arguing repeatedly with a man beside her who seemed to be the head of the guard. At the same time, they also looked at the distant sky from time to time, as if they were worried about something. ”

"That's when I found out that the woman was carrying a small child on her back. ”

At this moment, there was a sudden roar from afar, like the sound of thunder, accompanied by a great tremor, and an aura of terror. I was terrified and hurriedly wanted to go down the mountain. But then, the woman suddenly stopped me. She took the package off her back, looked at the child wrapped in the quilt with tears in her eyes, and finally gritted her teeth and handed the child to me as if she had made up her mind. ”

I hurriedly stepped back and said, "What do you want me to do, my lord? ”

"Who would have thought that the woman would kneel down in front of me, and the gold-armored guards behind her also knelt down with her. She choked up and said to me, "Uncle, I can see that you are an honest person." We are desperate to be hunted and killed. It doesn't matter if I'm dead, I don't want my only blood to be buried in the hands of the enemy. They are coming for me, and I can only protect him if I hand this child over to you and lead them away with myself. So this child will be handed over to you, I will most likely never see this child again, I hope you can take his place and raise him well. ”

"I was stunned, and before I could react, there was another tremor in the distance. The woman's face was ugly, and she quickly handed the child in her hand into my hand, and then looked at the child in my hand affectionately, before wiping away her tears, beckoning the guards who were also crying behind her, and said to me please, and then took off into the air and quickly disappeared into the distance. In the blink of an eye, it was just me and the child standing in the woods covered in heavy snow. ”

Silence permeated the air, and in the dreary night, the two of them said nothing. I don't know how long it took before Xue Yi raised his head and asked softly, "That kid, is that me?"

Grandpa sighed and said slowly, "Yes, that's right." Since I've been entrusted by her, I'll have to do my best. Since then, I have no longer lived alone in a mess, but have worked hard as a carpenter to earn money to support you. I know that a strong man like your mother must have spent your time in a rich country when you were a child, and I have to do my best to make you eat and dress better.

At that time, you were less than five years old, and you were still ignorant, and at the beginning you cried for your parents, so I hugged you and comforted you that your parents had gone far away, and when you grew up, they would come back to see you. After a few years, your memories of your parents have gradually faded, and you have officially lived in this small villa. ”

Xue Yi was silent for a while, and sobbed lowly.

How could he forget? Whenever he woke up in the middle of the night, the images of his parents as a child would linger in front of him. It turns out that those warm images in the vague memories have all happened in the past. However, back then, my mother was in danger and my father's whereabouts were unknown, and now I am afraid that it is also ...... I didn't expect that the original goodbye turned out to be a farewell, and at that time, I didn't understand anything, I didn't know anything, I would only sleep on my mother's back. Originally, in the past ten years, I always complained that my parents did not come to see me, and I often complained in my heart, thinking that my parents did not love me anymore. Now he knew that they were the people who loved him the most in the world, and that they had expressed that love in the most fiery way. However, he never saw them again......

"Poor child. Grandpa hugged Xue Yi, stroked his back, and comforted, "Don't cry, it's been so many years." I'm afraid your mother is indeed more than lucky, but what's the use of you crying? Thinking of an enemy like your mother that even a strong man in the world can't fight, you are so weak now, let alone go to revenge. Only if you work hard to cultivate and become strong will you have a chance to avenge your parents. ”

"Grandpa, do you know who my enemy is, tell me!" Xue Yi raised his head, his eyes blood-red.

Grandpa was stunned for a moment and sighed: "Child, you are still too young, tell you now, I am afraid that I will plant the seeds of hatred in your heart and I will not be able to extricate myself." In this way, kid, I have also memorized the cultivation levels you told me before. So, when you reach that heavenly realm, I will tell you who your mother really is, and who your enemy is. Okay? I'm sure you'll be able to reach the sky before my old bones sink into the ground. ”

Xue Yi looked at his grandfather who was full of vicissitudes, after saying so much, his grandfather seemed to be even older, and his white sideburns were written with traces of time.

After a long time, Xue Yizhen nodded solemnly: "Okay." ”
