Ji Wushuang held the medicine bowl in both hands and walked into the room respectfully.

The owner of the dignified Providence Building, the dashing and dignified son of the Ji family who is rich in the world, has an extremely humble attitude at the moment, because the person in the house is the old owner of the Providence Building, Ji Wushuang's father, Ji Tianyu.

At this moment, the character who once dominated the storm and stirred the whole rivers and lakes was uneasy, with fluffy gray hair, wrapped in a white cloth, leaning on the bed weakly, half-closed eyes, and clearly an ordinary old man in the twilight.

Ji Wushuang carefully put the medicine bowl on the table, and softly called out to his father, it was time to take the medicine.

Ji Tianyu still closed his eyes, but hummed faintly.

Ji Wushuang looked at his father in front of him, once in his eyes, his father's image was so tall, so omnipotent, he could easily deal with all difficulties and solve all problems.

At that time, his father was as rich as jade, and his gestures were all the objects of his unconsciously imitated in the past 20 years.

Father was almost a god in his mind!

But after twenty years of hard searching, the father who reappeared in front of him no longer had that god-like light on his body, just like the sunset that had sunset in the west on the horizon outside the house, although it still had a golden light, it was no longer so dazzling and dazzling, and people did not dare to look at it directly.

Ji Wushuang could really feel that everything had changed.

But is this subtle change between father and son because his father has grown old, or is it because he has grown up?

Ji Wushuang couldn't tell, he just looked at his father's aging face in front of him, but in his heart he was nostalgic for the heroic father who talked and laughed and looked at the world as nothing.

He was thinking about it, but the afterglow of the sunset outside suddenly became dim, and a darkness quickly enveloped the surroundings.

Ji Tianyu's closed eyes twitched, opened a slit, and asked indistinctly, "What? Why does it get dark so quickly?"

Ji Wushuang still stood respectfully in front of the bed, not moving at all, and replied lightly: "It's nothing, maybe there are dark clouds covering the sun, and it's probably about to rain." ”

His voice was calm, without a trace of emotional fluctuations, and no one could hear the flaws in it, and no one could hear that he had known the reason for the sudden darkness outside.

Tengu Eclipse Day!

Such a strange celestial appearance that heralded a great omen in the legend, and he brought it with such an understatement, as if he was deliberately hiding something from his father.

But why did he hide it?

Ji Tianyu naturally didn't hear anything unusual from his answer, his eyes were still closed, and there was a laziness in his voice: "Just put the medicine first, I'm a little tired, you go out first!"

Ji Wushuang answered, exited the house lightly, and closed the door casually.

Turning around and walking through the courtyard in front of him, he raised his head and looked at the golden remnant sun that was gradually being eaten away by the black shadow little by little, with a thoughtful look.

At this time, a figure silently passed through the corridor and quietly came behind him, standing with his head down, but it was Ruyi with two swords.

He lowered his head and whispered to Ji Wushuang, "Childe!"

Ji Wushuang still raised his head to look at the remnant sun in the sky, and asked softly without looking back, "How is it?"

Zhang Ruyi said in a low voice: "I just received the news that Zhao Zongru, the prefect of Xi'an, has surrounded the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum with a team of men and horses, and is carefully searching. Everything is as Gongzi expected, this Zhao Zongru is really not simple, and he must have a special mission. ”

Ji Wushuang nodded slightly, silently

Then after a moment, he asked softly, "They've been in for a long time, right?"

Zhang Ruyi's voice was very low: "Yes, they have already gone in before dawn, but I don't know what their current situation is inside?"

He raised his head and glanced at the sun, which was about to be eaten up by the black shadow, and sighed softly: "Seven stars are aligned, I just hope they won't miss this hour." ”

Ji Wushuang didn't answer, just stared blankly at the remnant sun, not knowing what he was thinking, and seemed to be frozen.

He didn't know that just when he cautiously exited the room, his father Ji Tianyu, who was lying on the bed and seemed to be tired, suddenly opened his eyes with a terrifying light!

He seemed to be listening to his son's footsteps as he walked away, and suddenly sat up from the bed.

There was no light in the house, and as the sunset outside was eaten away little by little, the room gradually became darker, and gradually became a little dark with no fingers visible.

In the darkness, his eyes were still shining, and his voice was low and full of annoyance: "You really said it, as you expected, he really wanted to hide things from me." ”

Naturally, he said this to others, and it turned out that there were other people in this room.

At this moment, a figure slowly walked out from behind the curtain in the corner of the room, and in the darkness he could only be seen wearing a black robe and a ghost mask with blue fangs on his face, but it was the Wheel King among the ten halls of Yama with a mysterious identity!

To Ji Tianyu's words, the Wheel King just sighed softly and said, "Childe, he has grown up." ”

Growing up means maturity, independence, self-judgment and thoughts, and the desire to get rid of all shackles.

Ji Tianyu snorted coldly: "Has he really grown up?"

Only when you really grow up and mature will you truly realize that the shackles you once wanted to get rid of are not only not reduced, but become more and more.

Many times, your efforts are in vain.

The Wheel King didn't answer his question directly, but just said lightly: "At least, he concealed it because he still had some scruples about you." ”

This sentence is very wonderful, there are scruples, what are you scruples? Is it scruples about the family affection between father and son, or is it scruples about something else?

Ji Tianyu's face became more and more gloomy in the dark, and he said calmly: "But he is still too tender." ”

The Wheel King hung his head and did not answer.

He deeply understands the truth of inseparability, no matter what kind of contradictions and dissatisfaction there are between the father and son of the Ji family, but they are father and son after all, and no one can change it.

The matter between the two fathers and sons should be judged and resolved by themselves. At this time, no matter what he said, it seemed out of place.

Therefore, he had no choice but to bow his head and remain silent.

Ji Tianyu seemed to sense the embarrassment of the Wheel King at this time, so he stopped the topic.

He looked around, and the sunset outside had been completely obscured by shadows, and the surroundings had been plunged into darkness like the middle of the night.

He frowned, as if muttering to himself, as if asking the Wheel King: "Tengu Eclipse Sun, is there really such a coincidence, tonight is the time of the Seven Stars? Could that kid surnamed Ye really be the chosen son of the prophecy in the legend?"

The Wheel King still didn't speak, and he never tried to speculate on questions he didn't know the answer to.

Ji Tianyu asked again at this time: "I heard that kid has the mysterious green dragon pattern on his body, have you seen it with your own eyes?"

The Wheel King shook his head

, and finally said: "No, the source of this matter is very reliable, and it should not be wrong. Also, this kid surnamed Ye should be a person with two eyes. ”

"Eyes are born with double pupils?" Ji Tianyu seemed to be very interested in this, "If he is really such a strange person, he should never have such a little ability." ”

The Wheel King was a little unimpressed, and reminded him: "This kid is the only apprentice of the Demon Knife, and in his generation, he is already quite good. ”

Ji Tianyu snorted contemptuously and said, "Demon Knife, how capable the Fifth Floor of the Demon is, don't you know? With his martial arts, how can he be the master of the Chosen Son?"

"Take 10,000 steps back, even if that kid learns all the skills of the magic knife, in the face of those old guys who are hiding in the shadows and coveting him, it is not enough to protect himself, how can he be expected to grasp the future direction of the world?"

The Wheel King lowered his head and closed his mouth again, Ji Tianyu said well, behind Ye Feng, there have always been several mysterious forces fighting in secret, and the few people hidden behind these forces, such as the old man Ming of the Jiangnan Ming family, and the mysterious Mr. Dongguo, these people are the real powerful characters.

With Ye Feng's current martial arts, he has no chance of winning when facing them, such a person, even if he can really let him find the mysterious ancient treasure, in the end he is just making a wedding dress for others and becoming a tool in the hands of others, and the treasure will inevitably fall into the hands of those few forces in the end, how can he manipulate the fate of the world and influence the direction of the world as the prophecy said?

Could it be that this prophecy was wrong, or was Ye Feng not the chosen son in the prophecy at all?

The Wheel King was silent, but Ji Tianyu stared at him with both eyes, waiting for his answer.

The Wheel King frowned, "Why do you have to ask me? You know I've never liked to guess the answer." ”

Ji Tianyu sighed and said, "What I know about this matter has never been hidden from you, and you may know more than me. I've been imprisoned for the past twenty years, completely disconnected from the outside world, and you haven't, and now I don't ask who can you ask?"

The Wheel King laughed dryly, with a hint of helplessness and bitterness in his laughter: "I'd rather know nothing, just like the others in the Ten Palaces of Yama, ignorance is a blessing!"

Ji Tianyu's tone softened, and he sighed: "You are different from others, these people in the Ten Halls of Yama either have requests for me, covet peerless martial arts and wealth, or are afraid of me, because I have the handle, so they have to obey my orders. ”

"But you are different, you are not my subordinate from the beginning, we are a cooperative relationship, we are partners, this time I was able to get out of trouble, and it all depends on your unwavering efforts for 20 years, in my mind you are my friend, maybe the only reliable friend!"

Hearing these words, the Wheel King seemed to be touched, and the cold, repulsive feeling of being thousands of miles away on his body disappeared, and perhaps he also felt a warm feeling in his heart.

After a long sigh, the Wheel King turned to leave.

Ji Tianyu opened his mouth and asked, "Where are you going?"

The Wheel King tried his best to control himself, making his voice sound as emotionless as usual: "My identity is inconvenient to disappear for too long, in order to avoid arousing the suspicion of others, now I should go back." ”

Before leaving, he glanced at Ji Tianyu deeply, and seemed to say unintentionally: "If I were you, I would definitely be proud of my son." ”

The Wheel King was gone, and only the lonely old man Ji Tianyu himself was left in the dark room.

An invisible smile appeared on his face, and he seemed to say to himself, are you proud?
