Chapter 31: The Theory of Life and History
It's really ironic, the elite soldiers of the six countries are not only thousands, but they have been repeatedly provoked by a small country outside the country, no matter how many people there are, what is the use, if they are not twisted into one place, they are always just a plate of scattered sand. "While the state of Chu is becoming stronger, the combat power of the barbarians is also improving rapidly, the road is one foot high, the demon is one foot high, and if it continues like this, the barbarians outside the Saiwai will sooner or later become a big problem for our human race. ”
"Brother Bao, you live in this remote place, why do you know the situation of these six countries in such detail. "Lone Star has been curious since just now, judging from Brother Bao's conversation, he really doesn't look like a marketman.
"It's just hearsay. ”
Bao Hong smiled bitterly and said: "Who is not young and vigorous, I also went to the front line and fought against the barbarians for a period of time, but after the blood, I accepted my fate, so I returned here and opened a bun shop." ”
"I see. ”
Lone Star never expected that Brother Bao would have such a past, and couldn't help but say with some respect: "Brother Bao must have been an out-and-out hero back then." ”
"What a hero, just a deserter, brother, don't torture me. ”
Bao Hong laughed at himself and said: "I will sell buns, I used to be, and I will do it in the future, let's stop here, don't mention it again." ”
Lone Star saw that he seemed to be trying his best to hide something, and hurriedly changed the subject: "By the way, big brother, is there a family surnamed Ye in this neighborhood?"
Parents left themselves in this area, so here are more or less clues.
"Who is Brother Fei looking for you?" asked Bao Hong.
Lone Star said: "To be honest, my parents left a jade pendant engraved with the word night when I was born, and there has been no news since then. ”
"It turned out to be for my parents. Bao Hong thought about it carefully and said: "Don't hide it from my brother, the surname Ye is really rare, even before, the eldest brother has never heard of any family with the surname Ye." But ......"
"But what!" Lone Star was originally a little disappointed, but when he heard that there was something to follow, he hurriedly urged.
Bao Hong cleared his throat and said: "The surname Ye is indeed rare in the Chu State, but it is not really absent, it is said that there is a big family in the imperial city with the surname Ye." ”
"And where is the Imperial City?"
"It is the capital of our Chu State, Luo'an. ”
"Luo'an, big family......" Lone Star clenched his fists, it seemed that he needed to go.
"Brother, do you have to go over there?"
Lone Star smiled and said, "Go, naturally I want to go, but not now, by the way, big brother, have you ever heard of a flower called Zixi." ”
Bao Hong said: "I have never heard of it. ”
"What about Jun Zhicao?" Lone Star asked again.
Undoubtedly, this Zixi Flower and Jun Zhi Grass are the flowers and grasses needed to unlock the fourth layer of seals, and Lone Star is in the middle stage of blood rush at this time, and it is only one step away from the spiritual smelting period required to unlock the seal, and before that, it should be fully prepared.
Bao Hong still shook his head, and said, "Although I haven't heard of it, I know that someone should have heard of it." ”
"Who's that man?"
"It wasn't a person, it was an organization called the Strange Flowers and Herbs. Bao Hong said: "This organization specializes in collecting all kinds of flowers and plants, transplanting them, and then selling them at a high price, which is very famous in the Fangyuan area, and I think there may be what you want." ”
"This Strange Flower Pavilion is in this city?"
"Exactly, according to legend, this pavilion has been standing here for hundreds of years, and it is a veritable century-old brand, which is second to none in the entire Chu country. ”
Bao Hong said: "Brother inquired about this, could it be that he is also interested in these strange flowers and plants?"
Lone Star smiled apologetically: "Naturally, I have my intentions, and I ask for the inconvenience of the younger brother here, I hope the eldest brother will forgive me." ”
"What the brother said, how can the eldest brother be such a cautious person. Saying that, Bao Hong glanced at the sky and said: "From here to the city, it will take at least half a day to ride a horse, so let's do it today, it's not early today, why don't we pack up first and leave early tomorrow morning, okay?"
Lone Star nodded suddenly and said, "Everything is at the command of the eldest brother." ”
"Well, brother, wait here for a while, and then I'll take you home when my brother cleans up this place a little. ”
After a stick of incense,
"This is my home, Brother Night, please come inside. ”
Lone Star smiled yes, and then stepped in unceremoniously.
Getting along with others, in fact, being too polite will make the two emotionally alienated.
After entering, Lone Star found that this yard is indeed not big, but it is chic, you can see some flower bonsai everywhere, and the placement is just right, which is pleasing to the eye, it can be seen that this big brother is also a very particular person on weekdays.
At that moment, I couldn't help but praise: "Brother Bao, this yard is so chic." ”
Bao Hong suddenly smiled and said, "It's just a humble house, I'm afraid it will make my brother laugh." Come on, come on, don't just stand, come in and sit inside. ”
"Brother just said that he came down the mountain to find news of his parents?"
After Bao Hong waited for Lone Star to come in, he said while making tea: "Dare to ask Lingzun Lingtang what other clues are left besides leaving a jade pendant?"
Lone Star immediately raised the sword in his hand and said, "It's the only one left." ”
That Bao Hong suddenly looked embarrassed: "If there is only these, then it is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack to find out the news of Ling Zun and them in the vast sea of people." ”
"And there is no evidence, how can the brother easily determine that the night character engraved on the jade pendant is the surname, if not, wouldn't the brother be blindly wrong to the end?"
Lone Star was stunned for a moment, he really hadn't thought about this question, when he got the jade pendant, he preconceived that it was his surname, and now after being reminded by others, he immediately felt that he was too hasty.
"Then according to the eldest brother's opinion, what is the night character carved on this jade pendant?"
Bao Hong said: "Brother Night, don't worry, things have passed for so many years, and the strange things are simply elusive, we might as well start with the sword first." ”
"On the sword?" Lone Star said stunned.
"Hmm" Bao Hong nodded, a glint flashed in his eyes: "My brother said just now that this sword was also left to you by your parents?"
Lone Star thought for a moment and said, "At that time, I was still in infancy, and this sword was later discovered along with the jade pendant. ”
"Did Brother Night notice anything wrong?"
"What's wrong?"
Lone Star vaguely felt that this big brother Bao seemed to have guessed something, and immediately said: "Please also ask the eldest brother to make it clear." ”
Bao Hong stood up and said with a fixed mind: "Brother, you might as well think about it, if it is good to recognize each other in the future, then what does it mean to leave this sword?"
"Leaving a murderous weapon for a baby who is still in swaddling clothes, doesn't my brother think it's too weird?"
Lone Star frowned and said, "It's really a bit weird to be said by the eldest brother. ”
Bao Hong said: "What is the use of a baby asking for a weapon, if it is still to facilitate the recognition in the future, wouldn't it be superfluous? Here, we might as well imagine the situation at that time." ”
"First of all, it should be ruled out that the night brothers were deliberately abandoned by their parents, so there is only one situation left, and they have no choice but to leave the child behind. ”
Lone Star immediately agreed, whether it was hunted down or coerced, it was still in this category after all.
"Since I had to leave the child behind, it is very reasonable to leave a piece of jade pendant for future recognition, not to mention that there are clues left on this jade pendant, but it is strange that this sword is too inappropriate. ”
"Let him continue!" At this time, Satsuki suddenly said loudly.
Lone Star hurriedly asked, "Why is it not in order, Xu is father and mother want to leave me one more thing?"
"No, it won't. Bao Hong shook his head and said, "Most people who walk the rivers and lakes only hold one weapon, right?"
Lone Star nodded, he had indeed never seen a cultivator with two arms.
Bao Hong said again: "If this sword is really left to you by your father, then before that, this sword must be the personal weapon of one of them, which is even more strange." ”
"How?" asked Lone Star.
When Bao Hong deduced, his temperament seemed to have changed as if he had changed a person, and Lone Star only felt that he had inadvertently fallen into his rhythm, and he could no longer take the initiative to think about something.
Bao Hong turned around and said, "Just now we have deduced that they are at a time of desperation, that is, they may be in the pursuit of others, if they throw away their personal weapons at this time, wouldn't it be very unwise?"
"This ......" Lone Star was speechless for a moment.
Seeing this, Bao Hong immediately laughed and said, "And if it were me, even if I didn't keep it, I would never leave a weapon for a child." ”
"Maybe that weapon is extraordinary?" Lone Star retorted.
"Then you can't stay!" Bao Hong sighed when he heard this: "Do you think that a baby has the ability to keep a divine weapon? ”
Lone Star was stunned for a moment, and then listened to Bao Hong continue: "It can be seen that it is not your parents who left you this sword, but someone else. ”
Lone Star chewed on what Bao Hong had said repeatedly, and his heart felt bitter, if this was the case......
"I don't want to agree with that, but there's no denying that he has a point. ”
Xiao Yue said: "Since that person can seal my memory, it is not impossible to hand me over to a person casually, and you may be the person he chose." ”
Seeing that Lone Star didn't respond for a long time, Xiao Yue immediately knew that he was worried about something, and said loudly: "In other words, the clue to find the whereabouts of your parents from me has been broken, so it doesn't really ...... whether to continue to unlock the seal."
"Sister Xiaoyue, what do you say?"
Lone Star's voice rang abruptly in Satsuki's ears, and from his words, Satsuki seemed to hear a little anger.
"You're my dearest, and it's even more important to me to be able to restore your memories than to know their whereabouts. ”
Lone Star's faint words immediately made Xiao Yue stunned, and after being moved, she hooked the corners of her mouth slightly, her smile was hazy, and the whole person seemed light
