Chapter 2: Wake up

When I woke up again, it was still night, but this time there was no carriage that was so comfortable that it didn't bumble too much, just a simple wooden bed with a layer of mattresses, a simple blue and white pillow, and an old, even a few patches, a thin quilt.

Shangguan Yi was relieved, this situation is obviously safe. Whether it's temporary security or permanent security, at least you can take a breath, sort out the current situation, and then think about how to move forward. Since God has arranged it, let's see what it wants to do.

Shangguan Yi closed his eyes and felt it, well, the current situation, his spirit is okay, his physical condition is better, at least better than that day, his body looks like he is only seven or eight years old, his identity, the prince of Zhenguo Mansion. As for the situation, it shouldn't be very good, it can also be said to be very bad, according to those two dreams, if you speculate, the death of his father Shangguan Ren is obviously not such a simple battle death or something, but someone wants him to die, so grandpa Shangguan is very secretive, all the students and guests have been dismissed, and the court that used to have a good relationship no longer has contact. didn't let Shangguan Yi go out, and his upbringing was just a perfunctory invitation to a teacher from the Guozijian to do something hastily, and sent Shangguan Yi out to avoid the limelight at the slightest disturbance, even then he couldn't avoid a death. So it can already be concluded that no matter what, you can't reveal your identity, unless you win, you will die. The current location is unknown, the key information, it should be the double dream, after the dream is over, you can only vaguely remember a little thing, but this dream is very clearly preserved.

Shangguan Yi sat up and touched the things on his body, there was a delicate longevity lock, which his mother had specially beaten when he was a hundred days, and it was worth a lot of money. There is also a token, engraved with an Yi character in the official font, representing his identity as the son of the world, these two things can be said to be life-threatening, and they must be hidden. In addition, there is not even a piece of broken silver, which is also real.

Shangguan Yi shook his head, as expected, it was equivalent to being penniless and unable to move an inch, and he might not even be able to repay the kindness of the person who saved him, even if it was possible, people didn't care about the silver. When I got up and got out of bed, I saw a bowl of medicine and a piece of paper on the table, the medicine smelled tasteless, and the color was clear and yellow, and I didn't know what kind of herbs were boiled out. Picking up the paper, he was suddenly glad that Shangguan Yi had seriously learned from Guozijian's teacher before, although if he didn't learn, maybe this accident would come a little later.

On the paper is some scribbled handwriting, which is not quite the same as modern writing, and reads as follows:

When he woke up, he drank the medicine, and when he had finished drinking it, he went to the brook behind the house to wash up, and his clothes were already there, and he packed up and came to look for me at the chessboard under the woods.

There is no signature, and I can't see anything, it should be that Shangguan Yi doesn't know or is not familiar with it, after thinking about it, Shangguan Yi picked up the medicine bowl and drank it in one gulp, it was unexpectedly not bitter, it was not delicious, but it was bearable. Walking out of the house, a bright moon hung high, illuminating a little vision, the peach forest in front of the house, the stream behind the house, this senior is an idle cloud and wild crane, and the small life can be lived.

Shangguan Yi went to the creek behind the house to wash his body, and he didn't know how much sweat he had in the process of sleeping, and he was sticky, although it was bearable, it was not necessary now, so it was better to wash it well. Anyway, he said let me pack up and go to him again, he is not in a hurry, and there is no need to be in a hurry, just wash it well.

The stream was cold, but Shangguan Yi did not show any adverse reactions. After washing for an unknown amount of time, Shangguan Yi finally finished washing and dressing, refreshed, and his body seemed to have regained some strength. Shangguan Yi moved his body a little, feeling that he might be able to run a thousand meters easily, could it be that this is the basic quality of the legendary body with innate divine power?

Shaking his head, Shangguan Yi skimmed off these strange thoughts and walked towards the chessboard under the peach forest, it was time to meet this life-saving benefactor.

When I approached the peach forest, I saw an old man with a white beard sitting on the side, supporting it with one hand, tilting his head to look at the chessboard, and there was nothing else on the table except for chess and a wine gourd.

The old man didn't look back, and said directly: "Come and sit down, let's talk." ”

Shangguan Yi was not hypocritical, he walked over and sat on the opposite side, his eyes swept over the layout of the chess pieces, and he had a little score in his heart, if he played chess, there should be a little possibility of going back and forth with the old man to kill you.

It's a pity that Shangguan Yi was ready, but the old man didn't play his cards according to common sense, and asked: "You won the post of the king of Hades, but you didn't die, and you may even get a blessing in disguise, do you know the reason?"

Shangguan Yi pondered for a moment and shook his head: "Senior, I don't know, I don't know much about the Hades Ti, I only know that it is one of the nine poisons, and the people who fell into the Hades Ti have not survived the day." At that time, I just felt weak, had a splitting headache, and was about to die, so I fell asleep and woke up here. If the seniors know the reason, I wonder if you can give me some advice?"

The old man's expression remained unchanged, as if he had expected this kind of answer, or what the answer did not matter to him, he asked casually, but he didn't really care. Said lightly: "Hades only kills the living, maybe you were dead before the child, so Hades did not take your life, but improved your body with toxins, this has advantages and disadvantages, you should pay attention." ”

Shangguan Yi stared slightly, and said, "The juniors don't understand what the seniors mean, can you say it in detail?"

The old man still looked indifferent and indifferent, and said: "That's your business, how to do it depends on you, I just remind you that under the Hades Ti, there is no living mouth, but you are not the only one who survived the Hades Ti. Now that you have survived, you can be or may not be the same person you used to be, live again or continue to bear the responsibilities that are on your shoulder. After a pause, he continued: "I don't know how you appeared in that broken temple, but I promised myself that I would teach him what he had learned all his life if he appeared in that broken temple at that time and could attract my attention, but you don't need to apprentice, and if you meet people in the future, don't say that I am your master, and I don't want to mention the affairs of the rivers and lakes." If you want to learn, go to the thickest peach tree to dig the cheats, but first say good, you and I don't have much time, you'd better memorize it first, if you don't understand, you can ask me, food, clothing, housing and transportation to solve it yourself. ”

After the old man finished speaking, he closed his eyes, as if he was at the mercy of Shangguan Yi, whether he took the responsibility of his predecessor or started to be at ease again, whether he could learn the old man's things or not, this is a big problem.

The predecessor was afraid that he had died before the time of the child, although he woke up for a while at that time, but soon fell asleep again, not so much to sleep, but to be dead and then borrowed the corpse to return the soul, so the Hades did not play a role. And the predecessor will die before Zishi, I'm afraid that someone has added some materials, how afraid Shangguan Yi will not die. It's a pity that Shangguan Yi really didn't die, even if he was no longer the Shangguan Yi he used to be.

This world, chaos, it can be seen from the two real things that happened, the traitors are in charge, and the people in power are mediocre and incompetent, and there is no room for people, even the family like the Zhenguo Mansion will be suppressed like this, heh, how can ordinary people live better. Internal and external troubles, the people's lack of livelihood is enough to describe the situation of this country, these can have nothing to do with him, the sky is high and the birds fly, the sea is wide and the fish jumps, he is alone, he has some skills, and he can live anywhere, but he can't just live like this, even if his grandfather Shangguan knows that he is still alive, he must hope that he will live secretly, instead of trying to find a way to take revenge, the Shangguan family can't withstand the consequences of failure, and the inheritance of incense is more important than anything else.

However, Shangguan Yi is no longer the Shangguan Yi, everyone must pay for the sins they once committed, if this account is not paid, then I will come! There are thousands of ways in the world, there is always one that can make the sun hang high and illuminate the darkness of this earthly world. No matter what kind of price you have to pay, what the predecessor can't do, I'll do it, I will avenge the blood and hatred of the Zhenguo Mansion, Cao De, Wu Qing, and those who stabbed the Zhenguo Mansion fiercely, I will not let it go. The sky is high and the sun is far away, let's walk and see.

As for whether to learn the old man's things, the answer is already obvious, there is no choice, learn. The old man's appearance is obviously also a sad past, if it is not painful to lose the most important thing, how can he not care about anything? Don't let yourself apprentice, although you don't want to be involved in the wind and rain of the rivers and lakes, but where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, how easy is it to quit, he doesn't care alone, it would be good to drill in the deep mountains and old forests, but if he taught me all the things he had learned all his life, it was equivalent to passing on the mantle of others, and then entering the rivers and lakes, saying that I have nothing to do with him, who would believe it? He doesn't want to involve me, so he doesn't accept apprentices, and he doesn't let me mention him outside, maybe he has been born for a long time, and there are not many people outside who remember him, but the so-called cause and effect is that there must be a cause and effect. You have to prepare early, and how much you can do it depends on how strong you are.

Shangguan Yi is clear about these things, and the answer is clear, he has made a choice and there is no turning back, this road is destined to be difficult to walk, there are too many enemies and tricky, but this is also interesting, otherwise life will not be too lonely. It is rare that a Buddhist teenager has a high fighting spirit, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, at this moment, he is fearless.

The old man felt the change in Shangguan Yi's spirit, there was a little surprise in his eyes, followed by a strong remembrance and sentimentality, when he was out of the school, he was also so energetic and full of fighting spirit, confident that he could break out of the world, so that the name of the master was known again, and even planned to make the master a transcendent force comparable to the four sects when he entered that realm. It's a pity that I met her later, and they, I have experienced too many things, the master was destroyed overnight, the brothers who were as close as brothers and sisters betrayed, and one by one friends left like this, and then I became a great accomplishment and killed all the enemies, but I provoked more enemies, and I had no choice but to withdraw from the rivers and lakes, drunk and dreaming of death, and did not ask about ordinary things. Pick up the gourd, gurgling and taking a sip of wine, if I didn't meet her, how good it would be, she is still white like snow, not like the people of the world, I can also fight the sword rivers and lakes, be happy and revenge, be my senior brother, and revitalize the sect. But now, all her ambitions have become earth, she has become a white bone buried in the peach forest, and I am dyed like a puppet in the wind and snow, which is really ridiculous.

Shangguan Yi looked at the old man who suddenly revealed his true feelings, was silent for a while, stood up, knelt down and kowtowed to him, I accept your kindness but do not worship you as a teacher, this is also your kindness, but in my heart you are my master. Then Shangguan Yi got up and prepared to dig up the cheats, he knew that the old man would not respond to his actions. But I didn't expect the old man to say a word, and his voice was a little hoarse: "There is a mechanism in the house that can open the cellar, you go and find it, there is something in it, I haven't used it for a long time, maybe you can use it, dig up the cheats and cover the soil back." ”

Shangguan Yi nodded: "Okay." Then he turned and went back to his room. I didn't expect that there was a mechanism in that room, and it was obviously a very simple house, and I thought it was repaired by someone in the past, but now it seems that it is obviously not so simple. That's right, unless the old man just found a place to stay alive, or it wouldn't be so simple to have something to do with the obviously not simple old man, not to mention that he buried the cheats in the peach forest, this place will definitely not be chosen randomly, maybe it is the place that the old man chose for himself to retire, and when he is about to die... , no, he doesn't look like such an emotional person, isn't he... , Shangguan Yi speculated, suddenly stopped suddenly, and then smiled bitterly, maybe there will be an answer if you go in and see.

Shangguan Yi entered the room and carefully observed where there might be a mechanism, but he turned around a few times and couldn't find it, because this room is complicated and complicated, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is unobstructed, and there is a bed on the left side of the room, which he has been lying down on, flat and neat, and he feels that there is nothing strange. In the center was a table with a bowl of medicine that he had drunk, and the paper was still there, and it didn't look suspicious. On the right is a bookshelf, and there is a small bookcase, although the bookshelf is not full of books, but it is not a few, and a small vase is placed. Shangguan Yi intuitively felt that it was very suspicious here, and it was necessary to focus on investigation.

So Shangguan Yi walked quickly to the bookshelf, tried to pick up the vase, failed, it seems that the vase is connected to the bookshelf, it is a whole, Shangguan Yi smiled a little proudly, isn't this just found? Is it okay to turn anywhere, or is there a mechanism for the wrong turn? If there is a mechanism, I don't think I can stand it. After thinking about it, Shangguan Yi tensed his nerves, prepared to flash if he failed, and then cautiously turned to the left. However, there was no reaction, and now Shangguan Yi was completely stunned, and began to try to turn right, but there was no response. Three circles on the left and three circles on the right, no response, and a sharp turn in one direction?

Shangguan Yi gave up the vase and tried the bookshelf, there were no extra buttons, there were a few books that could not be taken down, and he also tried various methods but there was no response. Try the lamp on the bookcase, you can't take it off like a vase, but you can rotate it, but unfortunately it doesn't respond, is it still a combination switch?

Shangguan Yi didn't give up and tried the table again, knocked on the floor tiles on the ground, climbed under the bed and rummaged over, but found nothing. It's almost dawn, and there is still nothing to gain, Shangguan Yi is a little discouraged and slumped on the bed, there are many routines in the wilderness!
