Chapter 1: Is the Destiny One?

Cangshan, a very prestigious place.

It is one of the four famous mountains recognized by the world, echoing with the Jiuzhi Mountain in Shenzhou, and the Bulao Mountain in Youzhou and the Yinwu Mountain in Jiangzhou.

Before Yuan Tianshi preached in Jiuzhi, Cangshan has always been the number one mountain in the world according to the annals of history.

For example, the name of the first mountain today was taken away by Jiuzhi, but the name of Cangshan is still loud, and the famous Jokhang No. 1 Xiongguan - Bishui Pass, the whole is relying on Cangshan to exist. It can even be said that without Cangshan, there would be no Bishui Pass, and in the "great cause" of resisting the rebels outside the pass, Cangshan should share at least half of the credit for Bishui.

Xu Sheng and the old blind man walked through the dense forests of the mountains, getting closer and closer to Cangshan, and the mountain roads were becoming more and more rugged, and there were even many places where there were no roads at all, so they had to rely on people to climb and help, and the hard work was needless to say.

What puzzled Xu Sheng was that the old blind man was clearly blind and his pupils were white, but he could easily distinguish mountains, rocks and trees; He clearly has the ability to fly to the sky, and he has to climb on foot.

The old blind man's mouth is always urging: hurry, hurry; But no matter how fast it is, can it be faster than the volley? Xu Sheng felt in his heart that the old blind man was just causing trouble for him. Obviously, there are official roads in some places, and the old blind man wants to avoid them; In some places, people gathered, Xu Sheng brought silver money, and the old blind man wanted him to hunt and pick in the mountains.

In this way, how can the trip be fast?

Since ancient times, chaos has opened the world,

Three emperors and five emperors to this day.

How many palaces have decayed?

How much Mei'e is dust?

Hundreds of generations of time pass by in a flash,

The dynastic change is coming back and forth.

How many things rise and fall in the future,

It's all a fool's laugh.

Sometimes, when the old blind man is tired of walking, when he sits down to rest, he will always hold the erhu and sing endlessly.

The old blind man's lyrics are really a little strange, not like the storytellers in the market, telling some legends of gods and ghosts, strange things in the market, and preferring to refer to the past and the present, and express his sighs. In his singing, there is no specific story, more emotion and reason, permeated with the wisdom and freedom of seeing through the red dust.

Unexpectedly, Xu Sheng loved to listen to it, and always felt that the old blind man's lyrics had a special charm and a trace of indescribable things. After listening to it too much, he vaguely felt that deep in his heart, in his soul, something seemed to be being pulled and summoned, and it was about to erupt.

"Is it really me who is the one of destiny?"

Xu Sheng was a little suspicious. If someone had told him before that he was the "Mandate of Heaven" and the proud son chosen by God, he would definitely not believe it, and eighty percent would have felt that the person's brain was convulsive and delirious.

But now, after many mysterious things had happened that were beyond his knowledge, he was shaken, and he began to doubt himself, and he was afraid of himself from the bottom of his heart.

He felt a little unaware of himself, looked up and down his body, and the more he looked, the more strange he felt, and he always felt that under that mediocre appearance, there was a terrifying substance.

Blood light, meteorites, tombstones, strange people, Taoist priests, old blind men, "the law of all responses", "dark forest", all these weird, I am afraid that only the "people of destiny" can afford it.

Xu Sheng's thoughts were flying, trying to recall, the scenes of the past reappeared in front of his "eyes", and he "watched" intently.

As if nothing different, everything is very bland. Before the "bloodlight meteorite" fell to the ground, he was just an ordinary peasant boy.

"That's not right!"

Xu Sheng suddenly woke up, and his memories came to an abrupt end. A piece of his memory was missing.

A large section, or even half, to be exact. He didn't, any memory before the age of ten, not at all!

Terrible!

Xu Sheng's heart suddenly contracted, and a chill ran down his spine. He vaguely remembered that his parents had told him that when he was a teenager, he had fallen off a cliff and injured his head.

Is it because of an injury that you have amnesia?

He may have believed it in the past, but now he hesitates.

He touched his head. What kind of injury will not leave a little scar and erase people's memories for ten years out of thin air? For a ten-year-old child, isn't the probability of death from falling from a height hitting his head far worse than that of amnesia?

Xu Sheng's thoughts flew, and gradually the more he thought about it, the deeper he became, and the cold sweat flowed.

He thought of the mysterious death of his parents, according to the approval of the government at the time, the old couple was killed by gangsters and robbed of money. But Xu Sheng understands his parents, where is the kind of master who wants money and doesn't want his life? Besides, the border of Zhongzhou is not a bitter place like Kanto, how can you encounter robbers on the official road? And also...... Xu Sheng thought of his brother's sudden change in temperament again.

"Why?"

Xu Sheng asked himself and slapped his head violently. It turned out that it was not after the bloodlight meteorite came, but before, even earlier, the weirdness had already happened around him. It's just that he's been stupid and hasn't noticed it at all.

Now, thinking about it deeply, Xu Sheng can really be said to be full of heart and gall, and his heart is shocked.

"Am I still me? Who am I? Xu Sheng whispered, the six gods have no master.

"Boom!"

The erhu sound stopped, the old blind man stopped singing, and he looked at Xu Sheng blankly with his two empty eyes.

"What did you just say?"

"Who did I say?" Xu Sheng came back to his senses.

"Man of Destiny"

"What else? Am I not otherwise identified? ”

"There must be, people in the world have never had more than one identity."

"And what is the rest of my identity?" Xu Sheng was saddened.

"I'll find out later." The old blind man said softly, then put away the erhu, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes.

......

Time passed, and it was dark in a blink of an eye.

"Why do you think I'm the one of destiny?" After being silent for a long time, Xu Sheng asked again.

"Because I believe that there will be a man of destiny, and you can just so evoke that tombstone, which is said to be something that only a man of destiny can awaken."

"Wake up! Is the tombstone sleeping? ”

"No, it should be said, something is sleeping behind the tombstone." The old blind man was convincing.

"Behind the tombstones? What's the matter? Xu Sheng couldn't help but be shocked and asked tentatively.

"I don't know," the old blind man paused, and then said, "Legend has it that it is enough to change the world. ”

"Oh" Xu Sheng responded, and after a few pauses, he spoke softly: "However, that monster of the Xu family said that I was just a fake, not a real Destiny Person." ”

"Perhaps, it is not ruled out that the possibility of such a thing is that the legend of the Mandate of Heaven is born, and there must be a false son to accompany it, so as to confuse the heavens."

"If I'm just a fake, aren't all your thoughts in vain? If I am not the Destiny One, all your efforts will be in vain. Xu Sheng said slowly, his eyes looked directly at the old blind man, he wanted to know how the old blind man would answer

"I don't have a choice," the old blind man sighed, "Alas! My life is short, I can't wait, whether it's true or not, it can only be you. Moreover, the fake son was born to cover Mako, I helped you, making people mistakenly think that you are the real destiny, and for Mako, it can be regarded as helping him divert his attention and help him grow. ”

"You're really thoughtful!" Xu Sheng looked away from the old blind man and said softly, "Is the person of destiny so important? ”

"Hmm!" The old blind man nodded and said slowly, "The man of destiny is the only hope. ”

"Hope?" Xu Sheng was puzzled, "What kind of hope?" Or rather, what are you expecting? ”

The old blind man didn't answer when he heard Xu Sheng's words, he slowly stood up, looked at the sky with those empty eyes, and said for a long time: "Change"

"Change!"

Xu Sheng repeated, although he didn't understand what he meant, but he didn't ask any further.

He had a hunch that the old blind man would not give him a satisfactory answer; In other words, the old blind man himself has no answers, and everything in the end can only be revealed by himself.

"Let's make a fire," the old blind man sat down, without any further thoughts. He pulled out the erhu again, but he didn't play it, but stroked it seriously, as if he was reminiscing, as if he was thinking about it.

......

"Crackle!"

The dry wood burned, making a restless sound, and the tongue of fire was beating, and the light was uncertain. The old blind man and Xu Sheng had their own hearts and did not speak to each other.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

Suddenly there was a sound of percussion in the empty and silent mountain forest, and the sound was very deep with the thick night at the moment.

"You're standing behind me."

The old blind man pulled out the strings and said in a deep voice, with a solemn face.
