Spring night.

The drizzle and breeze are like a mother's hand, caressing the earth.

Separated from his parents since childhood, Jiang Yichen's concept of a loving mother and strict father is particularly vague.

Walking among the rivers and lakes, he saw children being spoiled by their parents from time to time, and he was rarely touched.

However, not envying does not mean not longing.

He received the love from Yinniang, and he was cultivated wholeheartedly from Uncle Yi and Uncle Yi.

Now when he hears the news of his parents, it is undoubtedly a gentle lamp in his heart, telling him that he still has a harbor called home, waiting for him to dock.

Hearing his concerned tone, the old man did not spare the bend, and said bluntly: "The good news I have learned so far is that they are still alive. ”

Jiang Yichen said nervously: "There are still ...... The bad news?"

The old man said: "The bad news is that they mediated with Dongying Liukou for many days, and both were injured and fell into a coma, and in the end, it is very likely that they were taken away and went to Dongying." ”

Jiang Yichen was stunned and said, "What?!"

"Don't worry, kid, listen to me. The old man hurriedly said, "Dongying people cherish talents, and your parents are outstanding people, Dongying people naturally hope that the two of them can teach each other everything they have learned in life, so although they will be restricted in their personal freedom, they will not worry about their lives." ”

"Aren't Dongying people wishful thinking?" Although he didn't know much about his parents, Jiang Yichen inexplicably firmly believed that his parents would never help them to abuse and live in the world.

The old man sighed and said: "It's naturally not good to use strong, but soft grinding and hard soaking, maybe you can gain something, after all, the most important thing for Dongying people is time." ”

Jiang Yichen was puzzled: "What does the old man mean by this?"

The old man said: "The people of Dongying must do their best to heal your parents, let them recover as before, and provide for them from beginning to end, so that they can be entertained." Even if your parents know that this is a trap of the Dongying people, it will be difficult for them to raise their swords against the Dongying people. In the first year and a half, they may be able to stand firm, and after three or five years, they may still be able to waver, but what about another ten, fifteen, or twenty years?"

"What the previous generation can't do, this generation continues to do, this generation still can't do it, the next generation, the next generation goes forward and succeeds, Dongying people have never broken the idea of encroaching on the land of Zhongzhou, they are really persistent. Jiang Yichen was separated from his parents because of the invasion of Dongying Liukou, and his parents were nowhere to be found, so he would never miss the news about Dongying, and often heard that Dongying Island was narrow and long, shaking mountains all year round, tsunamis, and extremely unlivable, which is why Dongying people insisted on invading Zhongzhou.

"Persistence? Not really. The old man slowly sat up from the bed, and continued, "Although Zhongzhou has a vast territory and abundant resources, this is only measured by the territory of one dynasty. If you want to discuss it in detail, there are still many areas in Zhongzhou, with poor resources and poor environment, which are no less than those in Dongying. Those places are sparsely populated, and from time to time people come out of them, either to see the outside world, or to make a living elsewhere, but they never forget their roots, let alone abandon their original homeland, wantonly killing and invading. In the final analysis, it is still the Dongying people who are too ambitious and unwilling to stand on the present. ”

The old man spoke solemnly, and it was obvious that the tribulations that Dongying brought to Zhongzhou back then could not be relieved after all.

Jiang Yichen pondered for a moment when he heard this, and couldn't help asking: "If Nachen'er's parents are always tight-lipped, what will happen to the Dongying people?"

The old man said: "No matter what choice they make, the people of Dongying will treat them with an attitude and give them enough courtesy, but they will never let them leave Dongying for half a step." ”

Jiang Yichen said: "What should Chen'er do to bring them back?"

The old man said slowly: "This matter needs to be considered in the long run, and it is too early to talk about it. ”

After a few moments, Jiang Yichen sighed lightly: "Chen'er understands, as long as they are still alive." ”

Although he couldn't see Jiang Yichen's face in secret, the old man could still feel the indescribable loss of the young man.

The old man comforted: "Chen'er don't be anxious, I believe that one day, your family will be able to reunite." ”

When Jiang Yichen heard this, he suddenly thought of something, his lips moved slightly, and he stopped talking, and finally just silently hoped for that day in his heart.

The old man seemed to notice Jiang Yichen's strangeness, and said, "Chen'er wants to know who your parents' names are?"

Hearing what the old man said, Jiang Yichen almost blurted out "I want to know".

However, in the end, he still suppressed the waves in his heart and said: "If my father and mother are really under house arrest by the Dongying people, then Chen'er shouldn't know their names." In the past 20 years, they have been able to live in peace, which shows that as long as the dust does not exist, the Dongying people have no other means to threaten them. ”

The old man said: "As a son of man, but you can't admit your existence, it is also a pain for you, a child." There are only a handful of people in the world today who know your background, and when you can one day, you can enter and exit the Twelve Gates of Heaven and the Twelve Sects of Heaven and the Caves of the Cardinal Sect, and these Longtan Tiger's Den are like no one's land, no one will be able to use you to threaten your parents. ”

Jiang Yichen said: "Chen'er will work hard." ”

The rain was dripping.

Jiang Yichen glanced at the door.

The glimmer of light that entered the window was much dimmer than when it came.

He calmed down and was ready to hurry up and talk to the old man about the battle of the hundred flowers, and then leave early to let the old man have a good rest.

But I heard the old man chuckle and said: "People are old, and they really talk a lot, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I will talk to you more." I know that you are here today because there are still some questions about the Hundred Flowers Covenant that have not been solved, and this matter is not in a hurry, and I will answer them for you one by one later. ”

"......"

"My family doesn't have so many rules, besides, people are in good spirits on happy occasions, you can come, I am naturally very happy, no matter how tired I am, I don't have to worry about my old bones. Jiang Yichen was about to speak, but the old man had already interrupted.

The old man said again: "As for the eyes and ears outside the chrysanthemum garden, I have also developed a habit of staring after a long time, about Mo Zi Shi, it will be the best time for them to be energetic, you go out at this time, but it is not as easy as when you come." ”

When Jiang Yichen heard this, he no longer insisted and stayed with peace of mind.

The old man suddenly spoke: "Speaking of identity, you really have no doubts in the Netherworld Sect for more than half a year?"

Jiang Yichen guessed that the old man should not know how he mixed into the Netherworld Sect, so he started from the egg and Mei Huaijin who he met on Buji Island in Shudi, and then how to become an apprentice of the Four Two Thousand Jin Hall, and then accidentally got involved in the Netherworld Sect's situation against Yuntianguan, and finally successfully entered the Netherworld Cave under the guise of being an elite of the Netherworld Sect, and was grateful by the Lord of the Flails and the Lord Suo, and was appreciated and promoted by the Night Dead.

In the end, Jiang Yichen concluded: "The others in the Netherworld Sect should not see my flaws, only the night death, I really can't be sure, why he helped me so much." ”

Jiang Yichen expressed the doubts in his heart, thinking that with the old man's knowledge, he should be able to help him analyze the reason.

The old man didn't seem to have recovered from the story Jiang Yichen had just told, and after a while, he said, "Night? I also wanted to use this person for my own use, but I couldn't do it." ”

Jiang Yichen was shocked when he heard this, he couldn't even reach out to the old man to extend an olive branch to such a big man in the evil sect.

I heard the old man say again: "Do you know where the cross scar on his face came from?"
