Duanmu Shenjiu left alone, Wu Hou saw that it was still early, so he sent Guan Qingyao home, and sent Guan Qingyao to the intersection of the small street, and the two separated.

Of course Wu Hou wouldn't go back so early, after he sent Guan Qingyao back, he had to go to the riverside to practice swords as usual, so after separating from Guan Qingyao, he didn't go back, but went to the riverside.

After entering the small street, Guan Qingyao got off the motorcycle and chose to push the motorcycle back. On the way, I saw a few naughty children, running on the streets, playing and making noise, carefree, and the children here had nothing to play, only the entertainment activities of gathering together and running around the street.

When a few children saw Guan Qingyao, they shouted again, "Dominatrix is back." Guan Qingyao glanced at them unhappily, and they hurriedly ran away, for fear that Guan Qingyao would punish them. With these children, the old rivals, in the years of school, all the naughty children on this street knew that Guan Qingyao was a female man, because she had great strength and was rude to people, and she often reprimanded them when she saw naughty children, so she gradually had the title of dominatrix.

When passing by the Sichuan restaurant, Guan Qingyao stopped to look inside, wanting to see if his father was here, but happened to see his father and General Yang playing chess at the table. So Guan Qingyao parked the motorcycle at the door, walked in directly, and came to the two elderly men, without speaking, standing aside in obscurity.

The two of them were fascinated, General Yang looked up at Guan Qingyao who walked in, smiled at her, and then lowered his head and continued to look at the chessboard. Guan Qingyao's father, Guan Yuntian, turned a blind eye to his daughter's arrival, staring at the chessboard with a frown, and was worried because his chess had fallen into a desperate situation.

Guan Qingyao stood for a while, and saw that on the chessboard, General Yang with red chess, the chess momentum was in full swing, the rook and the horse artillery each had a son, the rook was defending in their own camp, and the horse and the cannon had crossed the Chu River and Han border and arrived in the black chess camp held by Guan Yuntian. Guan Yuntian's chess fell behind, only one cannon was left after the cart and horse artillery were eaten, and his own Shixiang regiment was also eaten away, and the five pawns were cut down one by one before they crossed the river, and the only cannon left did not even have a cannon rack, and he specified that he would lose this game of chess, it was just a matter of time.

After a while, General Yang's horse and cannon moved in front of the black chess camp, walked down a few steps, and ended the game with a beautiful horse and artillery shot.

General Yang smiled and said, "Old brother, you lost again." ”

Guan Yuntian rubbed his eye sockets, yawned and said, "Alas, my chess is not as good as before, when I was young, you don't want to win me in a game." ”

"What's the matter? Now that you're old, you can't win me in a game?" General Yang stood up, stretched his waist, and said: "You are also powerful, you have lost more than a thousand handfuls, you have never won once, and you still persevered with me, this perseverance, I am not as good as you." ”

The two have played thousands of chess games for a long time, and Guan Yuntian has never won a game, and every time he was killed by General Yang on the chessboard, he lost his armor and lost his armor.

Guan Yuntian also stood up, glanced at his daughter, and then said to General Yang, "It's not terrible to lose in chess, it's terrible to lose in heart, I can definitely win you, but it's not now." ”

"Yo, when you win chess and still score?"

Guan Yuntian turned around and took his daughter and walked towards the door, General Yang shouted behind him, "Don't go, let's go again, I only lost more than 20 today." ”

Guan Yuntian waved his hand without turning his head, Guan Qingyao looked at General Yang with a smile, said goodbye, and turned around and followed Guan Yuntian out.

After the father and daughter came outside, Guan Qingyao saw that Guan Yuntian did not go in the direction of the house inside, but went to the street outside, so she honestly followed Guan Yuntian and walked outside.

Guan Yuntian walked straight out of this small street and came to the street outside, standing at the corner of the street and looking at the dark night sky stupidly, silent.

Recently, Guan Yuntian has been like this, since the last time Guan Qingyao bumped into him walking out of the side street, every night after that, he would come out of the side street to stand for a while, sometimes when his daughter came back and went home together, sometimes after his daughter arrived home, he wandered alone and then came to the intersection, there was no fixed time, but he would come here once every night and stand for more than ten minutes.

Guan Qingyao was very curious, she didn't know what her father was looking at, every time she looked at the dark night sky, her face was ancient and waveless. Guan Qingyao also asked, but every time, Guan Yuntian just said, "It's going to change." ”

Today is no exception, Guan Yuntian stood here and watched for more than ten minutes, lowered his head and sighed, "It's going to change." Then he turned and walked in the direction of home.

Guan Qingyao followed behind Guan Yuntian, and couldn't help asking, "Dad, you always say that the sky is going to change, what do you mean?" Guan Yuntian's abnormality during this period of time made Guan Qingyao think that his father had Alzheimer's.

Guan Yuntian continued to walk forward, without turning his head or making a sound, without answering his daughter's question.

Guan Qingyao asked tentatively, "Why don't I take you to the hospital tomorrow to check your brain?"

Guan Yuntian spoke to his daughter at this time, and said unhappily: "Do you want to see if I'm stupid?"

"Aang, yes. Guan Qingyao replied truthfully, "I see that you are a little suspicious every day now, I guess you won't have Alzheimer's disease in your old age." ”

Guan Yuntian laughed a few times, and scolded with a smile: "You dead girl, can you hope that your father is a little good?"

Guan Qingyao had been following Guan Yuntian, and at this time, she suddenly walked quickly to Guan Yuntian's side, walked side by side with him, looked at Guan Yuntian's side face and said seriously, "Dad, I really have to check and check for you, during this time, you go out every day, looking at the sky and saying that the sky is about to change, what's wrong? You haven't been out for many years, why did you suddenly dare to walk out of this street and stand at the intersection?"

Guan Yuntian touched his bearded chin, then patted his daughter's shoulder again, and said, "When the world needs me, I have to go out." ”

Guan Qingyao frowned, not understanding what Guan Yuntian's words meant.

The father and daughter walked slowly all the way, and gradually came to the door of the house, Guan Yuntian directly pushed the door in, and Guan Qingyao followed behind and walked in.

There are three rooms in their house, one with a balcony where Guan Qingyao lives, and the other two rooms, Guan Yuntian sleeps in the one with the door open, and the remaining one has a closed door, not knowing what is inside. After arriving at home, Guan Yuntian sat on the sofa and smoked a dry cigarette, the light in the room was very dim, there was no refrigerator, no TV, only an incandescent lamp.

Guan Qingyao went to wash, and Guan Yuntian was the only one sitting in the living room, the dry smoke in his hand was white smoke, and smoke was also coming out of his mouth and nose, and his eyes fell on the closed door.

When Guan Yuntian finished smoking and her daughter washed up, she sat opposite Guan Yuntian with her wet hair and looked at Guan Yuntian who was spitting clouds.

"Go and offer incense to our ancestors. Guan Yuntian suddenly said this.

Guan Qingyao sighed, put down the towel in her hand to wipe her hair, got up and walked to the room with the door closed, and then pushed the door and walked in, and the candles were lit in the dark room after a while.

Guan Yuntian put down the dry smoke, came to the window, looked at the thick night outside, and there was no emotion in his deep eyes.

After Guan Qingyao finished the incense, she came out and saw Guan Yuntian standing in front of the window, so she also walked over and looked at the thick night outside with Guan Yuntian.

After looking at it for a while, Guan Qingyao suddenly said, "Dad, my identity was almost discovered today." ”

Guan Yuntian looked at the night and moved his eyes to his daughter, frowning.

"External forces forcibly invaded the Divine Sea?" Guan Yuntian asked with a frown.

Guan Qingyao nodded and said, "Well, it's Duanmu Shenjiu, he was curious about which lineage we inherited, so he invaded my Shenhai." ”

Guan Yuntian suddenly smiled and said, "What is the result? Was it forced out by the Ancestor's Heroic Spirit?"

"yes. Guan Qingyao nodded again and said: "But Duanmu Shenjiu is also really powerful, his true qi can be placed at a distance of 1,200 zhang, I thought at most 1,000 zhang, but he said frankly that after being suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, the minimum is 1,200 zhang, Dad, this is much more powerful than you." ”

Guan Yuntian frowned, pondered for a while, and said, "Yes, he is much more powerful than his father, after all, he is the first person in the Eternal Martial Dao, and he is a half-immortal who cultivates pure martial arts." ”

Guan Qingyao seemed to suddenly think of a possibility, looked at Guan Yuntian and asked, "Dad, you said that if the old ancestor hadn't been killed, would he have been able to live a thousand years without dying like Duanmu Shenjiu?"

A cold wind blew, Guan Yuntian's hair shook, and when he heard Guan Qingyao's question, he laughed heartily in the wind.

"Silly girl, the fate of the ancestor is not in the world, he is destined to turn into a heroic spirit, ascend to the sky and rank in the immortal class, guarding us. ”

Guan Qingyao glared and asked, "Then we are different and guarding the world?"

Guan Yuntian looked at the night outside, his expression became more and more melancholy, such as the situation between today and today, he was too clear, so he spoke: "We have long ceased to protect the world, since that Qing military order, the world no longer needs a martial artist like us, the reason why I take you to survive to this day is because you are my daughter, I can't bear you to die, and secondly, because I can't afford to have a queen." ”

"But during this time, I often walk out of this street, and you are also very curious, why do I always say that the sky is going to change, today I might as well tell you, Yaoyao, in the near future, someone may want to prove the Tao by force to become an immortal, and then the martial arts luck will return to the world, and the rivers and lakes we are in now will have great changes. ”

"This change is both good and bad for us. The good thing is that the cultivation of every person who practices martial arts will advance by leaps and bounds because of the blessing of luck, and the disadvantage is that many evil evildoers will also be derived from the rivers and lakes, and at that time, our responsibility to protect the world will return. ”

Guan Qingyao asked, "Dad, do you know who is going to prove immortality by force?"

Guan Yuntian looked at the dark night and laughed a few times, and replied: "Who else can it be, when there is only one person with this strength today, Duanmu Shenjiu is alone." ”

"However, is it possible to become an immortal by force? There is no precedent for a pure martial monk to become an immortal since ancient times, and our ancestors have also received the power of faith that is admired by all the people, so they are revered as gods. Guan Qingyao couldn't believe it, she didn't believe that Duanmu Shenjiu could be a god with pure martial arts.

"It's because there is no precedent that I'm very optimistic about Duanmu Shenjiu, if he wasn't the legendary demon and didn't have too much killing karma on his body, it was possible to succeed. ”

Guan Qingyao stopped talking, looking at the night outside, not knowing what she was thinking.

After a while, Guan Yuntian suddenly asked, "Are you in love with that child?"

Guan Qingyao was a little surprised how Guan Yuntian knew, but she didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "Yes, I'm so old, you won't even let me talk about love." ”

Guan Yuntian scratched his ears and said with a difficult face, "It's not that you won't be in love, it's just that why are you so coincidental that you would fall in love with Duanmu Shenjiu's apprentice." ”

"Hehe, fate, Wu Hou is very good. ”

"How is that kid's cultivation?" Guan Yuntian looked at Guan Qingyao with a smile on his face and said, "If your cultivation is not as good as mine, then I won't hand you over to him." ”

When Guan Qingyao heard this, her face instantly puffed with anger, and she said dissatisfied, "Dad, you know that it is difficult to be a person, if there is no Duanmu Shenjiu, there is no opponent for you in the entire rivers and lakes, you let Wu Hou compete with you who is second in the world, do you want me to wait until I am fifty years old to get married?"

"Haha. Guan Yuntian suddenly laughed heartily and said cheerfully: "Silly girl, you look down on your father so much, and you throw the second hat in the world to your father to wear?"

"Hehe, aren't you?" Guan Qingyao looked at Guan Yuntian with a quirky look.

After Guan Yuntian laughed for a while, he stopped and looked at the dark night again, and slowly spoke: "Our Guan family guards the world, it is our own wishful thinking, no one has ever asked us to do this, the times don't need us anymore, so after a Qing military order, we, along with many fellow Daoists, were deprived of luck and good fortune." If Duanmu Shenjiu can really prove to become an immortal by force, break through the shackles of heaven and earth, open the gate of the Nine Heavens, and return the world to a martial year, then I, along with many fellow Daoists, will be grateful to him. ”

"Silly girl, you still know too little about this world, there are a lot of former martial arts powers, all have their own methods of retreat, in all corners of the mountains and rivers, there may be one or two different numbers hidden, Dad really doesn't dare to be the second in the world, if Duanmu Shenjiu succeeds, I can come back with luck, at that time Dad has some confidence, sit in the first and second position. ”

"But dad is not uncommon to be famous, we must remember the will of our ancestors, protect the people of Li, no matter how many generations of dynasty changes, we practice martial arts, just to serve the people. ”

Guan Qingyao nodded, oh, and said, "I understand, Dad, don't worry, don't fight or be arrogant, you taught me since I was a child." ”

"Hmm. Guan Yuntian was still looking at the dark night sky, the wind was blowing, and the night wind was blowing, blowing the hair of the father and daughter.

In Guan Yuntian's line of sight looking at the night sky, a white shadow slowly appeared, from far to near, he couldn't help but let out a "huh".

Guan Qingyao also noticed it and exclaimed, "Dad, someone!"

Guan Yuntian stretched out a hand to signal Guan Qingyao not to panic, and then looked coldly at the man in white who walked out of thin air.

The man walked not far from the window of the two, stopped in mid-air, and looked at the father and daughter standing by the window as if they were smiling, especially looking at Guan Qingyao's eyes, with a smile.

"Duanmu Shenjiu!" Guan Qingyao exclaimed in surprise, that's right, the man in white who came out of thin air and hovered not far from his window was Duanmu Shenjiu, who had just eaten together.

"Why are you here!?" Guan Qingyao asked Duanmu Shenjiu who was hovering outside.

Duanmu Shenjiu looked at the father and daughter and said, "Don't you invite me in to sit?"

Guan Yuntian looked at Duanmu Shenjiu, he was not surprised, he was not afraid, he was neither humble nor arrogant, but he invisibly gave birth to a little general's wind.

"No need, the temple is too small to accommodate your big Buddha. ”

"Oh. Duanmu Shenjiu sighed, shook his head and smiled, "Shicai also said that he was grateful to me, and now he is rejecting people thousands of miles away, Guan Yuntian, I really can't understand you." ”

Guan Yuntian couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, and said, "When you really do something beneficial to me, I can truly appreciate you." ”

"Hahaha..."Duanmu Shenjiu raised his head and laughed, and after laughing for a while, he looked at Guan Yuntian Dao, "What I am doing is all my fellow Daoists, not just just you." Your ancestor is a hero, and it took me two hours to check all the names of people in history, and the only one who meets your father and daughter is only one person. ”

Guan Yuntian and Guan Qingyao looked at Duanmu Shenjiu in surprise, and saw him hovering in mid-air with a calm expression, and said, "Martial Saint Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang, your Guan family is the queen of Martial Saint." ”

The father and daughter looked stunned, and Guan Yuntian's true qi broke out in an instant, approaching Duanmu Shenjiu outside the window.

The fierce true qi rushed to the face, like a pool of lake water that had been silent for many years, clean and clear, pure and translucent, and the substantial pale red light reflected the faces of the three of them.

Duanmu Shenjiu didn't care, stretched out a hand and randomly tossed on and off Yuntian's true qi, causing the true qi to disperse and disappear, and said calmly: "Don't get angry, I have no malicious intent." ”

Guan Yuntian looked at Duanmu Shenjiu coldly, and asked in a cold voice, "Then what are you going to do this time?"

Duanmu Shenjiu smiled and said lightly: "Give the hero a stick of incense." ”

"No need. Guan Yuntian faintly refused.

Duanmu Shenjiu didn't care about Guan Yuntian's attitude, and said, "Your ancestor is Yun Chang, your name is Yun Tian, and you are really in the same line." ”

The father and daughter were silent, and Duanmu Shenjiu continued, "I have excellent eyesight since I was a child, I read books at a glance and ten lines and never forget them, in just two hours, I consulted all the information in the Gu family's library, and read all the deeds of Guan Yunchang's life, Yaoyao, this girl is right, compared to him, I, the first person in the ancient martial arts, is just a horseman." ”

Guan Yuntian opened his mouth and said, "The ancestors fought for the common people in the world, loyal to the King of Shu, all his life in Kuang Fu Han Dynasty, and did great things against the way of heaven, how can you, a martial artist, be compared with my ancestors?"

Duanmu Shenjiu, who was dressed in white, nodded and said sincerely: "Yes, I also worshipped heroes when I was young, so I want to give the martial saint a stick of incense and talk about paying respect." ”

Guan Yuntian hesitated, he didn't think that Duanmu Shenjiu was here to incense, such a legendary thousand-year-old immortal martial arts power, suddenly appeared in front of the window of his house, although he had a good impression of him before, but he also had to guard against it, after all, after the ancestors were in trouble, the Guan family suffered many disasters, and finally escaped death, leaving a bloodline inheritance.
