Yunshan has clouds and mist since ancient times, and the clouds and mist are mostly accumulated in the enlightenment pool, and the elders are sitting in the grass canopy, looking at the Tianjiao disciples sitting in the pool, and their hearts are a little nervous. The picture in the fountain was ethereal, as if the host had never intended for them to see it clearly.

Enlightenment poolside.

Dong Daozun put one hand on Old Man Ouyang's shoulder, and commented on the monks in the pool with a smile. Old man Ouyang just hugged the wine jug tightly, there was still blood flowing out of his nose, and he didn't say a word. It is said that when the realm reaches their level, it is really not easy to be forced out of internal injuries, which shows that the name of the host is not in vain.

Yun Chenzi's words came to an abrupt end, and the old man Ouyang turned his head, but saw him looking at Ye Hongfeng with his eyes, his eyes were no longer bright, and he thought that he was in a dream.

......

In the dream, Tianshan, Jixue Village.

Ye Hongfeng put his bags on his back and embarked on the road to Beijing to take the exam alone, and when he looked back at the village, he still saw the lights of thousands of homes.

When he arrived in Kyoto, he met an old man with a hippie smile and no elderly demeanor. The old man brags about his past in front of him very shamelessly, and often steals some of his wine and meat to taste in the interval, and he doesn't care. After three rounds of drinking, the old man half-collapsed on the wooden table, raised his fingers and pointed at random, and said nonsense: "Boy, if you worship me as a teacher, I will teach you the greatest truth in this life." ”

Ye Hongfeng only thought that he was really drunk and talked nonsense, and after pouring himself a glass of wine, he drank it all and said, "Old man, your truth may not be my ambition." ”

The old man laughed, and after a while he covered his face and wept again, his face changing like the weather in the sky.

"Ambition? If you understand the world, you will know what ambition is, and you still need to experience it now. ”

Ye Hongfeng was a little confused, he didn't quite understand what the old man said, so he didn't take it to heart.

"Old man, you're drunk. He laughs.

"I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk, old man, I'm just afraid I'm the most sober person in the world. The old man's voice became quieter and quieter, and he lay down on the table and fell asleep.

A few months later, Ye Hongfeng easily passed the top prize and was ordered by the emperor to go to Pyeongtaek County to serve as the county commander. Pyeongtaek County is not too peaceful and healthy, and there is a nest of bandits entrenched outside the county, who harass the people in the county all the year round, and the people have been resentful for a long time.

On the first day after Ye Hongfeng took office, he encouraged the people to unite and go up the mountain to suppress bandits. It's just that the bandit is too prestigious, and no matter how much he persuades, he is indifferent.

Later, the mountain bandits were furious when they heard this, and gathered the people of the county to kill one person in public to sacrifice to the sky, in order to kill chickens and monkeys. The people were amused to stop the voices of resistance, even if they were just thinking about it in their hearts.

One evening, the old man came to him again through the gate of the county office, and asked the question of whether he was willing to apprentice, and he was impatient, so he ordered someone to drive him out and ignore him.

The old man would not be bored with himself, so he left a sentence and fled in despair.

In the next few days, the mountain bandits became more and more rampant, and some even openly looted on the street with knives. The bandits sat around him as they left, sticking knives into his ears and saying sarcastic and filthy words.

That was the first time he hated his own powerlessness, and if only all these wicked people could get evil retribution.

As if to answer what he thought in his heart, at noon the next day, when it was a clear day, suddenly a thunderclap exploded in the sky. Black lightning fell from the clouds and smashed straight into the bandits' den, and the bandits turned into powder under the terrifying power of lightning, leaving no trace.

The people of Pyeongtaek County knelt down on the bluestone pavement in front of the door, and kept kowtowing to thank God, thanking God for killing the gang of mountain bandits who did all kinds of evil. Ye Hongfeng was a little puzzled, this lightning looked like a heavenly punishment from a distance, but it seemed to be called by him!

After the mountain bandits were exterminated, Ye Hongfeng submitted his resignation and left Pingtaek County. Perhaps the old man was right, he was still young, and he should go out for a walk and see what the world was like.

......

There was still a boundless flame in front of him, and there were signs of ruin everywhere, and the white-robed monk swept in front of him, shielding him from the flying spears. This scene has been in Su Shili's mind countless times, and it has never been interrupted since he was born.

Su Shili is an orphan, fatherless and motherless, and he only has the impression of the Orion who kindly adopted him, but now Orion also died early, so he has become a loner. He wanted to know why the young man in white shirt in his dream had repeatedly appeared, and why he had risked his life to block the fatal blow for him, and perhaps he would know his own origin when he knew it.

He wanted to see his biological father and mother, and this thought never broke in his heart.

So since Orion's death, he has carried Orion's simple knife on his back and walked alone in the world, looking for that glimmer of hope.

He traveled so many places and met so many people that he finally had to admit that he was alone. He never had a father, and he never needed a father, he thought to himself.

But every time he saw the teenagers of his generation going out with his father and mother, visiting the lantern festival together, and doing the most ordinary things together, he couldn't help but secretly resolve that even if he died, he would meet his father and mother.

Many years later, until his temples were slightly frosted, until his body was rickety, he still never gave up the idea of searching. It's just that what he thinks in his heart has changed, and he wants to see his father and mother again, even if it's only bones.

He has been to the imperial city of Kyoto, and he has also been to the Buddha country in the extreme west, and his footsteps have crossed the ends of the earth, but he still can't find the slightest clue.

He almost gave up until he met someone, someone who dawned on him.

......

Qiu Di is the prince and is a direct lineage. His father, the emperor, was the king of a country and had thousands of miles of land.

He should have inherited his father's eloquence and strategy, but he became the weakest and incompetent eldest son. His younger brother was a few years younger than him, but he had already attracted a group of powerful ministers, and his virtue and prestige were increasing day by day.

He has always lived in a corner of the East Palace, and he didn't dare to leave the palace for half a step. He thought that his brother would sooner or later meet him for the position of prince, and he did not want to face it, because they were brothers.

In March of one year, his father led all the royal ministers to the hunting grounds. His brother shot a sturdy wild deer with an arrow, and received countless praises, and even his father was rarely smiling.

In order to encourage him, his queen mother rode with him and summoned his brother to go to the depths of the hunting grounds, just to hunt good enough prey to show that his eldest son was not weaker than man.

He didn't expect that not long after leaving, the three of them fell into a heavy beast circle. Those fierce beasts have green faces and fangs, and they are extremely ferocious. His queen mother raised her bow to resist, but in vain, his brother huddled behind him, shivering. It was the first time he had seen his brother's weak side, and it was then that he realized that his brother was still an adult, and he should have been protected by his brother.

But he couldn't do it, whether it was to rescue the queen mother or protect his brother, he couldn't muster the slightest courage. It wasn't until the moment he looked back at him before he was buried in the belly of the beast when his queen mother was exhausted, that he felt a deep disappointment. He was so weak that he watched the Queen Mother die before his eyes!

In the days that followed, he thought about the events of that day over and over again, and his heart became more and more hardened, and he turned himself into the most cold-blooded and ruthless beast step by step. Perhaps, it won't hurt again, right?" he thought first.
