Chapter 32: Investigation of the Past
Three days have passed, and Luo Chen's body is the same as usual, and there is no major problem, but in these three days, as soon as he closes his eyes, there are only two things in his mind, one of which is whether Feng Xiaomo will come back, and whether they can meet again in the future. The second is the dream that Luo Chen has to have every night, the beast that can't see clearly but always chases him, it is like a shadow, no matter where Luo Chen goes, the beast will follow.
It was a cold and windy afternoon, and there was a light rain in the sky, Luo Chen and Wu Han were sitting in the small pavilion, and suddenly an injured bird fell beside them, Wu Han saw this, and immediately picked it up and put it in her hand, she touched the bird's wet feathers on its body, and said: "Little bird, little bird, what's wrong with you? Who injured you like this?"
Wu Han's words fell, and I saw the bird chirping a few times, and it seemed to understand Wu Han's words. I don't know why, Luo Chen on the side actually understood the bird's words, and said to Wu Han: "Senior sister, this little guy said that it was already hungry, ask if you can give it something to eat!"
Wu Han was stunned for a moment before he spoke, "What did you just say?
Luo Chen looked at the bird in Wu Han's hand and replied, "Yes, I can understand it... No, how can I understand a bird? Am I sick?"
Wu Han touched Luo Chen's forehead seriously, nodded and said, "It's really sick, it's not light!
At this time, the bird called again in Wu Han's hand, Wu Han looked at Luo Chen and asked, "What kind of bird language does it speak?"
"It said let's get it something to eat..."
Maybe out of sympathy, or maybe because of kindness, Wu Han actually left the bird by his side, and specially made a new home for it, which is also strange, the bird seems to be psychic, and after eating the food given by Wu Han, it will no longer fly away!
After settling the birds, Wu Han and Luo Chen walked on the mountain path again, even though it was raining lightly, it did not affect them, but added some mood to the two.
Luo Chen stretched out his hand to catch the water droplets on the leaves on the side of the road, and then let them flow between them, I don't know why, the corners of Luo Chen's mouth actually showed a smile, Wu Han saw this, and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Luo Chen looked at the rain flowing from his fingers and said, "Look at this rain, I obviously want to catch it, but the harder I push, the faster it will flow away." Sometimes, I feel like a lot of things are like this, and I want to do it well, but it backfires!"
Wu Han sighed and said, "You're right, if everything in this world is fixed, then what are we living for? I don't know if ten or twenty years from now, we will still be together, talking and chatting like we do today..."
Luo Chen swallowed a mouthful of saliva, sprinkled all the rain on his hands, and then said to Wu Han: "If it is really as the world says, my fate is determined by heaven, then I will break this heaven, even if my body is broken, even if my soul is scattered, at least I firmly believe that my life is in my own hands! As the old saying goes, fighting with the sky is endless, and fighting with the earth is endless!"
Luo Chen's words made Wu Han fall into deep thought, she was wondering if people could really compete with heaven and earth? If so, then who would win in the end?
Looking at Wu Han's contemplative appearance, Luo Chen said with a smile: "Do you think what I said is very good?" Senior Sister Wu Han, you can admire me, but don't fall in love with me!"
When the words fell, I saw Wu Han smash a pink fist on Luo Chen's chest, and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, you are at most a little junior brother who needs protection in my eyes..."
But speaking of this, another figure suddenly appeared in Luo Chen's mind, she was like a fairy, her face was like ice, but in Luo Chen's heart, she had become a mark, a mark that would unconsciously smirk when she thought of her, and an mark that could never be erased.
Seeing Luo Chen so quiet, Wu Han shook his hand in front of him and said, "What are you thinking?
Luo Chen quickly shook his head and replied, "It's nothing, it's nothing... By the way, Senior Sister Wu Han, when you return to the Wu Clan this time, will you still follow us back to Cangming Valley?"
Wu Han replied as he walked forward, "Although this is my home, I grew up in Cangming Valley, and I prefer it there in comparison! Don't talk about me, let's talk about you, what are your plans in the future?"
Luo Chen took a deep breath and said, "The world is so big, I want to go and see, maybe I can find out the whereabouts of my mother and sister, and I don't know how they are doing now!"
"Yes, the world is so big, we should all go out and have a look!, or you can take me, with your little ability, you won't be bullied when you go out!" Wu Han said with a smile.
Luo Chen snorted coldly and said, "Don't look down on people, one day, I will become the brightest star in the night sky!"
Just as Luo Chen and Wu Han were walking in the forest, Ji Wuli found Wu Hada, the patriarch of the Wu clan, alone and chatted about some past events. Ji Wuli drank the hot tea in the cup in one gulp, and then asked, "Patriarch, forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, if there is a sentence that I don't know whether to ask or not?"
Wu Hada smiled and said, "You escorted the little girl all the way back to the Wu Clan, and you are her senior brother, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly!"
Ji Wuli paused and continued: "I once heard Master in Cangming say that you had a hard time handing over Little Senior Sister Wu Han to him, it is said that Jiuli came to attack and wanted to snatch the Eye of Blue Light, a sacred relic of the Wu Clan, do you know the reason?"
Wu Hada sighed and said, "That old guy of Qingjian still doesn't give up, he asked the same question more than twenty years ago. After all these years, I can't remember many things, but I advise you to stop this matter and let it sink into the loess with time!"
Ji Wuli was a little unwilling, and then said: "Patriarch, with all due respect, twenty years ago, Jiuli came to attack and almost caused the Wu Clan to be wiped out, don't you want to do something about it? I just want to know why they want to snatch the Eye of Blue Light, and I have no other intentions!"
Wu Hada picked up the teacup, but put it down again, and said: "I really want to do something for those dead clansmen, but I can't, because I have to think about the living clansmen, can you understand? Everyone knows that the blue light eye can see all the evil things in the world, maybe the people of Jiuli Palace snatched it to find the evil things in the world, so that they can get rid of them together!"
Ji Wuli is not a fool, he can see that Wu Hada is not telling the truth, but he also knows very well in his heart that since Wu Hada refuses to tell the truth, it is inconvenient for him to ask too much, because from Wu Hada's words, he got a message, that is, what happened twenty years ago is related to the lives of the entire Wu clan now.
At this time, for Ji Wuli, if he wants to investigate what happened more than twenty years ago, the only clue is Wu Hada, but from their conversation, one conclusion can be drawn that Wu Hada is not feasible. Entrusted by the green sword, how could Ji Wuli easily give up investigating this matter, so he could only find another way!
After some conversation, Ji Wuli stood up, arched his hand at Wu Hada, and said, "Patriarch, no matter what you think, I will investigate this matter clearly, and say goodbye!"
Ji Wuli turned around and left, but before he could take two steps, Wu Hada said behind him: "I don't know something, can you explain it for me?"
Ji Wuli turned around and asked, "What is the matter with the patriarch?"
Wu Hada stood up and continued: "As far as I know, what happened more than twenty years ago did not hurt Cangming, why are you so persistent, you have to find out about it!"
Ji Wuli took a breath and said, "I won't tell you, this matter really didn't hurt Cangming, but when he left, Master said it, and he had a faint ominous premonition, this matter may be related to the world, so I want to find out the reason!"
Speaking of this, Wu Hada smiled, and after thinking for a moment, he spoke: "That old thing in Qingjian has a really good nose, and it can be smelled from such a distance, but this matter can't be said from my mouth, otherwise we will be wiped out." ”
Ji Wuli paused and said, "Did the Eye of Blue Light fall into the hands of the people of Jiuli Palace in the end?"
Wu Hada shook his head and said, "Maybe there is, maybe not, who knows! At that time, for the sake of the entire Wu Clan, I didn't care about the whereabouts of the Eye of Blue Light." The words have come to this, I have said everything I can say!" After the words fell, Ji Wuli arched his hand at Wu Hada, and then turned around and left!
What happened more than twenty years ago was clueless for Ji Wuli, but from Wu Hada's words, he determined one thing, that is, this matter must be a huge conspiracy. As for whether the Eye of Blue Light finally fell into the hands of the people of Jiuli Palace, Ji Wuli also had his own thoughts, if this was a huge conspiracy, then the people of Jiuli Palace must have an ulterior motive for snatching the Eye of Biguang, if they got the Eye of Blue Light, then they would definitely make some moves in the past twenty years. But as far as Ji Wuli knows, the world has been peaceful in the past 20 years, and nothing major has happened, so it is certain that the Eye of Blue Light did not fall into the hands of the people of Jiuli Palace in the end. So, where did the Eye of Blue go? Now, everything is unknown, everything is still a mystery!
In the early morning of the next day, Ji Wuli said goodbye to Luochen, said goodbye to the Wu Clan, and embarked on the journey to investigate the past alone, originally Luo Chen also wanted to go with him, but Ji Wuli refused, the reason is very simple, he has not yet protected his strength! This is inevitably a little lost for Luo Chen, but he is also very aware of his situation, he doesn't want to be a burden to anyone!
