"Uncle, you've lost again. She lightly pulled down the last one, and looked at the thoughtful young man opposite with a slight smile and said, "Do you remember how many plates this is?"

And the young man who was still sitting in a precarious position before and was "honored" by her uncle seemed to have put down his burden, stretched his waist casually, and changed to a more comfortable sitting position in his opinion, but he still did not put down the sunspot in his hand.

"I can't remember it for a long time. ”

"Well, ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine plates. She stuck out her tongue, "And uncle, you didn't win a single set." ”

The young man also seemed to be very distressed and patted his forehead, and when he swept his sleeve, there was nothing on the chessboard.

"One more. He habitually looked at the little girl in red on the other side.

"Hmph! A majestic voice like thunder exploded in his ears. The little girl who was originally dressed in red and smiling Yan spit out the French sentence containing Tianxian in her mouth, and in a blink of an eye, she turned into an old man in white and sat opposite the young man.

As if he was used to this, he plucked out his ears that were blown up, and said almost without any laziness: "Aren't you waiting for that one?" ”

"Don't be old, I'm younger than you, sir. In the blink of an eye, the old man in white turned into a child, sat cross-legged and shook his head.

"Another plate, then?" he asked tentatively.

The child, who was still shaking his head, closed his eyes as if in meditation. I don't know how long it took, a young man's long-awaited voice sounded in this world.

Only one word, but a thousand pounds.

"Exactly. ”

Immediately, the young man fell to Tianyuan.

This is a calm and undisturbed sea, and the heavens and the earth are filled with chaotic aura visible to the naked eye, and the atmosphere of barrenness that seems to have existed since the ancient primordial times is permeated. Each collision between the two triggers the space to tear apart.

But no one knows how long this space has been here, just as no one knows that there are still people living here.

A certain isolated island in the sea was almost surrounded by a light mask, and above that light mask, there were tens of thousands of mysterious runes that faintly flashed. It is these runes that resist the chaos storm caused by the tearing and shattering of space.

Inside the island.

There are disputes in a large hall from time to time, but the most heard are "Who let you eavesdrop on that little girl of the An family", "The little rabbit cub of the Liu family go away", "Why does the little doll of the Chen family also come to join in the fun".

With a burst of scolding, the children lying outside the window of the main hall and probing their brains ran away laughing, but after a while, they secretly squatted outside the door and listened with their ears pricked up.

This is a death order from their eldest sister.

"Can that kid of the Ji family let go of the patriarch, you give me a happy word. An old man, presumably red-faced from the previous dispute, glared angrily at the middle-aged man sitting on the top seat.

"Old Xu, what are you talking about", the middle-aged man sitting opposite the old man picked up the tea cup on the table, slightly buckled the cup with the tea lid, blew lightly, took a sip and closed the tea lid, "Back then, that kid from the Ji family broke the ban and broke out of the island without permission, if it wasn't for the great elder to find out in time, would your Xu family be able to afford it?"

"Believe in the master, whether you can afford it or not has to be said separately. But you did everything possible to prevent Ji Boy from going out of the building not to make room for your family. The young man sitting next to the old man said disdainfully.

"Shen Qingqiu, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense. The middle-aged man who was called the head of the Xin family looked at him with gloomy eyes.

The young man named Shen Qingqiu seemed to want to refute a few words, but after listening to Xu Lao next to him, he tapped on the table a few times and then remained silent.

"I believe that Liuping is here to ask everyone, what should I do if I violate the ancestral rules?"

According to the ancestral rules that have been passed down through the ages, it is that the people on the island are not allowed to step out of this place for half a step. Violators will have their bones cut off and be imprisoned for life.

Some people in the main hall shook their heads slightly, and some people nodded slightly. But more often than not, he looked at the patriarch who was still sitting on the top and still the old god was there.

Because seventeen years ago, it was he who chose the son of the Ji family to inherit the position of the young patriarch. It was also he who personally sent the boy of the Ji family to the Sigui floor wall for ten years.

Just when everyone thought that the kid of the Ji family was going to be imprisoned for the rest of his life, the patriarch sitting on the top finally opened his eyes.

"The ten-year period has arrived, and the building is opened. ”

"But the patriarch, he's obviously upright from his seat, no longer looking like a Taishan before, "he obviously violated the ancestral system, is it because he was chosen by you to show favoritism?"

"Letter, leveling, you are presumptuous. Shen Qingqiu, who had been holding a fire in his belly for a long time, slapped his palm on the stone table, and suddenly saw some cracks on the surface of the stone table.

The patriarch who sat on the throne was still the old god, but he just said, "That's what he meant," and got up and left the hall.

With the departure of the patriarch, people left the main hall one after another. The old man, who was called Xu Lao by Xin Liuping, stroked his white beard and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that someone has an empty bamboo basket to draw water." ”

Just as Xu Lao walked out of the door with a smile, he beckoned to the little rabbit cub of the Liu family who was hiding not far away and eavesdropping before.

The child surnamed Liu Sanqian trotted all the way, looked at Xu Lao with a hopeful look, and said eagerly: "Grandpa Xu, how is it?"

"What are you doing in such a hurry? Your old grandfather, I sat in it with a sore back, so you don't know how to rub it for the old man?"

"Okay, grandpa, sit down first, I'll give you a thump on the back. Liu Sanqian hurriedly dragged Xu Lao to sit down, and asked while beating his back: "Okay old man Xu, can you tell me now." ”

Xu Lao squinted, patted his knees lightly, and said, "Can you still do anything wrong when Grandpa Xu goes out?" ”

"Is that what it is?" Liu Sanqian asked rhetorically, as if he was not sure.

"Hmm," Xu Lao clapped his knees with his palm, "Ji Boy will be able to go out of the building soon." ”

"Yes, you can go to the eldest sister. The force on Liu Sanqian's hand unconsciously increased a lot. 、

"You're trying to hammer my old bones apart, aren't you? Xu Lao smiled and scolded Liu Sanqian, who had already run away.

In the main hall, Shen Qingqiu and Xin Liuping were still sitting there. Shen Qingqiu was the first to get up, and arched his hand at Xinliuping: "It's really disappointing the believer." ”

"Is it because of the adult's sentence back then, 'The hub of the Honghu is not abundant, but there is the heart of the four seas', you are so optimistic about that kid of the Ji family??" Xin Liuping stood up and said with a smile, "What's more, he has been thinking about the floor wall for ten years, how can he talk about Honghu?"

"Enough. After speaking, Shen Qingqiu turned around and left the main hall.

Xin Liuping walked out of the main hall, looked up at the dangerous building towering into the sky in the distance, and then looked at Xu Lao, who was sitting under the tree not far away, closed his eyes and recuperated, and said to himself with a smile, "It's really getting more and more interesting." ”

Jingling Lake is located in the more remote part of the eastern part of this island, but because the aura here is relatively strong, there are a lot of exotic flowers and plants, so there are also a lot of rare and exotic beasts. This is a place where most herb pickers and trappers are happy to come.

"Whoosh", as a sound of breaking the air sounded in the forest, and a wooden arrow that was still trembling and trembling was firmly nailed to the tree. The white rabbit under the tree jumped and disappeared into the grass when he heard the sound.

"What's wrong Qingling, so absent-minded?" The slender and handsome man in the green shirt looked at the girl next to him who was almost half a head shorter.

The young woman wore a blue dress, her long inky hair fell casually around her waist, and her smart, but now seemingly hollow, eyes stared straight at the still trembling arrow feathers in front of her.

The one who is called Xiao Ling is Ji Qingling, the sister of Ji Ge, the future young patriarch Ji Ge, who has been praised by the great elder since he was a child, "the fish sees the depth, the birds see the high fly, the elk sees the decision, and the four know the correct color of the world".

"It's fine. Brother Liu. ”

"Xiaoge's matter should be about to come to an end. Don't worry, with Xu Lao and Brother Shen here, he will definitely be fine. As if he had seen through her thoughts, Liu Qingtian, the elder brother of Liu Sanqian, the eldest son of the Liu family, comforted.

"Hmm. Brother, he'll be fine. ”

"Sister, sister, eight hundred miles in an emergency. Just as Liu Qingtian and Ji Qingling were about to go back, a noise echoed in the quiet forest like thunder on the ground.

Liu Qingtian heard his voice and knew who he was, and said with a smile: "My younger brother is still so careless. Ji Qingling probably remembered the things that made people cry and laugh in the past, and said with a smile, "Who made him Liu Sanqian." ”

"Sister. Well, good news. Liu Sanqian stood in front of Ji Qingling panting, bent over. Liu Qingtian stood there and said angrily: "Is it that there is only your eldest sister in my eyes, and there is no longer your own brother." ”

At this time, Liu Sanqian realized that his brother was standing beside Sister Qingling, and smiled embarrassedly: "How can it." Elder brother. He also deliberately lengthened the end of the word "go".

"You kid. Liu Qingtian patted him on the head and motioned for him to continue.

"Needless to say, I know it's good news. Ji Qingling looked at Liu Sanqian with a smile, and the empty eyes before instantly returned to their former vigor and agility.

"Brother Liu, can I go to the lake by myself?" Ji Qingling turned his head and asked with a smile.

"Go, go, I'm going to educate this kid now. Liu Qingtian pulled Liu Sanqian to the side, "By the way, cultivate the brotherhood between us."

Liu Sanqian instantly had a bitter gourd face, and stood aside with his head drooping.

The two brothers of the Liu family watched Ji Qingling's figure slowly disappear into the forest. It was also like watching Ji Ge's figure ten years ago be annihilated by the door of Sigui Building.

But, fortunately. Liu Qingtian looked at the arrow feathers that were shot by Ji Qingling on the tree before, and his eyebrows stretched. You're finally going to get out of the building. "Don't look at it, it's all gone. Liu Qingtian patted his younger brother on the shoulder, "Go, go home."

Next to Jingling Lake. Ji Qingling sat with his knees crossed, his chin as small as delicate white porcelain resting on his knees, staring at the lake in the distance, and muttering to himself: "It's finally going to end." Elder brother. ”

Sigui Building.

A skyscraper on an isolated island. According to legend, the ancestors of this vein were built with supreme supernatural powers, and the building has a total of 9981 floors, so it was recognized by the patriarch that the saying "hands can pick the stars" that has been passed down in the mouths of generations of clansmen. On the 80th floor, a thin young man in white sits by the window, and the walls around him are densely carved horizontally or vertically to mark the day. The ground is full of classics, biographies, and historical records that have been read several times and even memorized.

Just when the boy was bored, an old man slowly climbed to the top floor, and when he saw the mess all over the ground, he was so angry that he threw his broom at the initiator.

The young man who was originally bowing his head and pretending to sleep dodged it sideways, raised his head and said with a smile: "Old man, I won't let you hit this time." ”

The old gentleman in the young man's mouth scolded and said, "You Ji Ge can't let me worry about snacks before leaving? From the first floor to the eighty-first floor, which floor have you ever let me worry? You go out and ask the bullshit patriarch if he punished you or was it a pastime, I am a bad old man?"

As if to vent the resentment in his heart, the old gentleman sat at the top of the stairs with his back to the thin boy. He said slightly, "I'm leaving." ”

The young man who was originally sitting cross-legged stretched his waist, got up and stood in front of the window, looked at the stars outside the building that seemed to be touchable by reaching out, and said with a smile: "I'm leaving." ”

The old gentleman turned his head to look at the figure standing by the window, and remembered the song that was also circulated in the mouth of the people.

"The Ji family has a variety of songs, shining and bright. ”
