Xu Changan jumped from under the blue stone bed.

He felt lighter, no pain seemed to be in his body, and the wound on his head began to scab. He thought that the purpose of Uncle Shi's visit was probably to let him see that memory, a memory that should have belonged to him, but he couldn't remember it.

The blue light slowly converged, and finally turned into a robe in front of the bed, with a bit of elegant light and shadow.

"Uncle Shi. Xu Changan muttered.

He had a lot of questions, but when the picture of the black-robed man walking out of the valley with the child in his head appeared, those doubts were gone.

A man who lifted you out of the pile of the dead, who have any right to doubt his arrangement?

The light and shadow slowly condensed, and Uncle Shi was still so serious, and there was no sadness or joy on his face.

"Chang'an. Uncle Shi's voice was very gentle.

"I don't know if you can see it, and I don't know how much you can remember when you were a child. Perhaps, when you came here, your worldview has been turned upside down and you have experienced a lot of things, but this is fate, and you have to accept it. Uncle Shi said, and sighed.

"Your name is 'Chang'an', and your father and I both hope that you can be Chang'an for the rest of your life, but everything in the world can be as expected. However, we can't decide what kind of life you want to experience, and we leave the choice to you. ”

"You can choose to be a small rich man in any small town, marry the most beautiful woman in the local area, have a bunch of children, do whatever business you want according to your own ideas, open a restaurant or a pawnshop, and live this life in peace and plainness, which is also your father's original wish. ”

Uncle Shi showed a kind smile.

"If you choose this path, there is a small box under the Hanyu bed, and the silver ticket in it is enough for you to live out this life. ”

"The other path requires countless hardships and hardships, countless trials, and I am not sure what you will get in the end, but I know at least that you can truly control your own destiny. Of course, you also have a better chance of finding your biological father and mother. ”

A trace of solemnity and expectation appeared in Uncle Shi's eyes.

"If you choose the latter path, there will be a mechanism under the cold jade bed, and you will know what to do when you press it. But I have to warn you that if you press the trap, all the tickets will be destroyed. Chang'an, I hope you make a choice that you won't regret. After finishing speaking, Uncle Shi's light and shadow dissipated.

Xu Changan's head was very messy, if he didn't know that he was picked up from the pile of dead by Uncle Shi, then he would definitely choose that box of silver tickets. I went back to Weicheng, put down the Dechun real estate, and every day like those boys, I lay on the chair with a folding fan and listened to the books of the day, from morning to evening. After returning home, teach his children well, let him study well, invite the best gentleman, teach him culture, teach him to do business, and then give the business to his son, and he still listens to books and music every day, and lives this life rich and easy.

He scratched his head, hesitating.

In the past ten years, he has never looked for his biological parents, nor has he asked Uncle Shi. Because he knows that many families do not have the dullness and happiness of their own life with Uncle Shi.

When the picture of Uncle Shi carrying him out of the valley appeared in his head, he was eager to know everything, and he also wanted to know who his parents were, and even more wanted to know what secrets he didn't know.

Xu Changan took a deep breath and pressed the button under the bed.

......

With a "click", Xu Changan's eyelids jumped, and he stretched out his hand with a little regret...... It seems that he wants to grasp the ruined "happiness".

The disappeared light and shadow reappeared, but Uncle Shi was unusually serious at this time.

"Since you have chosen this path, then I can only point you the first step, and what to do in the future is entirely up to you. ”

"Remember, take care of the jade talisman on your body, it is related to your life. Secondly, you have to work hard to become a personal disciple of Shushan, as for how to become it, it's all up to you......" Uncle Shi didn't seem to finish speaking, the light and shadow suddenly disappeared, leaving only a letter and a small porcelain medicine bottle on the bed.

Xu Changan shouted "Uncle Shi", and only echoes echoed him in the empty cave.

The way down the mountain was much easier than going up, and after taking the pill, although he was only wearing a tattered robe, he didn't feel the slightest chill.

The letter asked Xu Changan to take this medicine, and then go to participate in the selection of Shushan disciples, which can increase the chance, Xu Changan did not hesitate at all, swallowed the medicine in one bite, and suddenly became hot, and bursts of blue light seemed to be about to be cast out, Xu Changan only heard a crisp sound, it seemed that something was broken, and he didn't have time to think about it, a sharp pain came, and beads of sweat kept falling.

The pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow made him feel painful, and he kept rolling on the ground, I don't know how long it was, the pain receded like a tide, and he was sticky, he touched his forehead with his hand, spread out his palm, and saw that there was only a layer of black dirt, Xu Changan shook it off with disgust, looked around, and found that there was no place to tidy up, so he rushed out of the cave directly.

Although Xu Changan couldn't see his appearance at this time, he could also imagine that he should be similar to a mud monkey at this time.

The young man in the twilight was lying on the bamboo chair, squinting his eyes, enjoying the golden autumn comfortably.

A foul smell came, stronger than the smell of the pigsty in the village, and suddenly there was a mud monkey in front of him...... Oh no, it's a clay figure.

"Is there water?" Xu Changan's voice was urgent.

When Xu Changan came out, he changed into a new dress and was refreshed.

The eyes are like stars, the teeth are like braided shells, and the skin is like congealed fat. It couldn't be more appropriate to describe Xu Changan at this time, if it weren't for the fact that his eyebrows hadn't changed, this young man wouldn't have recognized Xu Changan.

"What did you encounter on the mountain?" Xu Changan wanted to speak, but suddenly remembered Uncle Shi's serious face, and then thought of Uncle Shi going around in such a big circle to tell him these things, he immediately closed his mouth and stared at this young man with wide eyes.

The young man wasn't annoyed, just smiled faintly: "My name is Qing Jiu." ”

Qing Jiu seemed to be caught in the memory.

"The following village is called Meng'an Village, no one knows where the first batch of ancestors came from, there are only two surnames in the village, Luo and Qing, and I am the ninth of the younger generation of the entire Qing clan. ”

"Our Qing and Luo clans have a common ancestral motto, that is, no one is allowed to go up the mountain. That year, I was only eighteen, I, Luo Cheng and Luo Linger did not follow the ancient precepts to go up the mountain, we set off in spring, but along the way experienced spring, summer, autumn and winter, we have been walking and walking, in addition to experiencing spring, summer, autumn and winter every day, it is to keep walking, we don't know hunger, we don't know tiredness, only know how to find. ”

"It wasn't until one day that a man came up on the mountain, a strange black-robed man, who was carrying a big rock up the mountain, and brought us out when he came down. ”

Xu Changan's heart was shocked.

The Black-robed Man ...... Is that Uncle Shi?

Qing Jiu continued: "When we went out of the mountain, the black-robed man took advantage of my inattention and didn't know what to give Luo Ling'er and Luo Cheng, and after they came out, they disappeared, leaving me alone. ”

That Qing Jiu's delicate face suddenly became a little hideous: "Do you know how long we've been inside?"

"Yonghe Nine Years!" Qing Jiu's voice was a little hysterical.

Xu Changan quickly searched for the relevant information of "Yonghe Nine Years" in his head, and finally remembered the story in the storyteller's mouth, that story was also the ninth year of Yonghe, and after careful calculation, Xu Changan couldn't believe that the young man in front of him was a person of that era.

"One...... A hundred years ago?"

"One hundred and fifteen years ago, to be exact, it has been fifteen years since I came out of the mountain!"

Qing Jiu suddenly smiled, laughing so much that Xu Changan was a little hairy.

"Was the shower comfortable?"

"Shu ...... Wear. ”

"Then get a good night's sleep. Qing Jiu's voice seemed to have a strange magical power, and Xu Changan slowly closed his eyes.
