For a long time after the battle, the birds did not dare to come back. The surroundings seemed unusually quiet. The clear river water sang the sweet song of hua, hua, accompanied by the gentle hitting of the stones in the river, making the sound of "pa pa". The sound of pa forms music that only belongs to nature.
The old man was still looking forward quietly. He was holding a slender fishing rod in his hand, and there was a small bamboo basket next to him. There was nothing in the bamboo basket, but there was no trace of anxiety on the old man's face, and he seemed to be fishing. , It’s not about the fish, it’s about the fishing process.
"You're almost rested. Judging from your appearance, you're probably just over-exhausted and you're not seriously injured." The old man didn't look at Yunyang, but looked at the calm water in front of him and said calmly.
"You will be able to fully recover after another half hour of training."
"Hmph, the ability to self-recover is really enviable."
"I'm just kidding. I'm just lucky to have such a physique." Yunyang paused for a while and then continued: "I don't know why senior came to me this time. If it's about the elixir, I'm already prepared."
"What do you think is the difference between fishing and using magic to fry fish?"
The sudden question made Yunyang stunned, and he couldn't think of anything for a while. However, the other party didn't seem to be in a hurry, but was patiently waiting for Yunyang's answer.
Yunyang quickly reacted and began to think about the relevant answers: "The purposes of the two are different. Choosing to fish is often to enjoy the fishing process, while choosing to use magic to fry fish is often mainly for the purpose of eating fish. "
Logically speaking, this is a standard answer and the easiest answer to think of.
Regarding such an answer, the old man did not make any statement, did not agree with it, and did not deny it either.
The two stayed in silence for a while before the old man spoke: "But it's the same for fish. As long as they are still in the river, others can do whatever they want with them. They can catch them and make delicious food. You can put them back, catch them with magic, blow them up, or just kill them all."
The old man's words shocked Yunyang, and there seemed to be a Dong in the depths of his brain, taking away all Yunyang's thinking ability. Yunyang couldn't help but open his eyes wide, looking at the old man's side face full of vicissitudes of life.
The next second, Yunyang stood up and bowed to the old man: "Senior, please give me advice." He kept bowing and did not get up.
"Raise your head and speak. I hope you will think carefully before answering the next question."
Yunyang stood up straight and said, "Senior, may I ask?"
"Do you like that girl?"
(I didn’t expect it to be big when I came up.) Yunyang was going to answer immediately, but he swallowed it hard. Two minutes later, Yunyang thought of the most accurate answer: "I like it, but it's more of a good feeling due to repaying kindness."
"What would you say if I said I was the one who really saved you?"
This time Yunyang replied without thinking for too long: "My answer will not change. Even if you say that it was you, senior, who really saved me, she was the one who took care of me during the time when I woke up. She also because I was injured, and he planned to sacrifice himself in order to let me escape. This is also a kindness to me."
"Um, how do you plan to face her in the future?"
"After I deal with something, I will stay with her for the rest of my life. Although I still have feelings of admiration, I will not take the initiative to say it out. Even if she chooses someone else in the future, this will not happen at all. Change."
"Oh? You said it so nicely, so what's more important than repaying the favor of saving my life?"
"To repay the kindness of raising me, my parents are still suffering because I don't know where they are. I must find them back."
The old man was indeed a little surprised when he heard this, and then his face suddenly turned serious. The energy in his body did not come out, and Yunyang could feel the strong pressure from the other party.
"A six-star junior magician, with the physique of a senior magician and an awakened soul, I have to say that you are a rare genius. However, now you are not even as good as an ant, just like a fish in the water facing a magician. Not only do you have no qualifications to like that girl, because you can't be together, you also don't have the ability to protect her, because there are many strong people around her, and you are nothing now."
Later, the old man deliberately emphasized his tone.
"Senior, you probably didn't go around in such a big circle just to hurt me now. Senior, please tell me directly, what do I need to do to get the qualifications you said?"
Yunyang hit the mark with just one sentence, and the old man's aura suddenly dropped a lot (hey, the kid is very perceptive. Not only was he not hit, but he also grasped the key point immediately. It seems that he didn't make any mistakes), and then The tone of his speech also softened a lot.
"Ahem, I'll give you a chance now. If you can do the behavior I agreed to, if you can't do it, go back to where you came from. You can't appear in front of her for the rest of your life. Otherwise, not only will I kill If I kill you, I will also destroy your entire clan.”
Yunyang didn't hesitate at all, his eyes were full of firm fire, and he immediately answered: "I accept."
"Okay, first, you must have the strength to defeat the great magician before the age of thirty. Second, you must have the strength to affect the fate of the empire before the age of thirty. Both conditions must be met, you understand. Yet"
He lowered his head slightly and whispered what the old man said.
Being able to defeat a great magician before the age of thirty usually means that you must reach the magic level of a great magician, or reach the peak strength of a senior magician, eight or nine stars, and hold two or more red-level magics. Defeating the great magician is just possible.
However, being able to become a senior magician before the age of thirty is already the best in the mainland. Becoming a great magician is simply impossible. Even with the current Shangguan calendar, one level up in one year is just a seven-star senior. Magician, besides, once you reach the advanced level, it is not easy to level up in one year.
The first point alone was enough to give Yunyang a headache. Although his calculation method is different, the minimum requirement is to raise his physique to above 45, and then cooperate with energy transformation. Only then can Yunyang have the confidence to defeat the great magician. He is still 21 levels short. This is not a small figure. .
The only thing Yunyang is thankful for now is his age. He is fourteen years old now, and he still has 16 years left. He can just try to upgrade to two levels a year. He is already over 50 levels, and he is worried that he will not be able to beat the big ones. Magician. Hahaha, thinking of this, Yunyang himself laughed.
(Let’s do this for the first point, there is still a chance)
If the first point is that there is still a chance if you work hard, then the second point is not just as hard as you work hard. Having the power to influence the empire is not something that just a few high-level magicians can do. It may take hundreds or even thousands of high-level magicians to be qualified to say that their strength can affect the fate of the empire.
At present, perhaps only the top families, such as the Shangguan family, can influence the fate of the country. Yunyang guessed that there were probably no less than five great magicians under the Shangguan family, and there might even be a magician.
(It seems that this wife is not easy to marry. Ahem, it seems that this kindness is not easy to repay. I admit that the two feelings actually account for half of each other. But, even if there is no love, she is worthy of my devotion. There is kindness. You must retaliate, this is the principle of my life in Yunyang)
Yunyang raised his head and looked at the old man who was staring at him seriously: "I understand. I accept your two conditions. I will definitely complete it for you before I am 30 years old."
"Don't forget the punishment for failing"
"Senior, don't worry. I promise you that if I can't do it, I will never see Yan Ziyu again in my life."
"Okay, you are ambitious, I like it. I look forward to your future performance." After saying that, the old man immediately disappeared from the place. Even if he used his spiritual eyes, Yunyang could not sense the other party's position, even a little breath. Neither of them can feel it, as if the other person has completely disappeared from the world.
Yunyang shook his head helplessly: "I can't see his strength at all, and the speed just now, is it really the speed of a great magician? Is he a magician?"
After this conversation, Yunyang felt relieved for some reason. It was clear that the conditions proposed by the other party were so harsh. No, they could no longer be described in this simple word. It should be... well, not at all. There are no words to describe the difficulties Yunyang faces.
"This problem that I have been avoiding before has been dug up and tortured by my seniors today. Oh, this is good, at least it gives me hope. Although I know that this road will definitely not be easy, I will never give up. , even at the last moment.”
"Um, I suddenly feel like I'm a middle schooler. Ha, but after experiencing it myself, I know how difficult it is to say such a thing."
Yunyang squatted down and washed his face thoroughly: "Okay, it's time to welcome a new beginning."
But when Yunyang was about to set sail: "Well, no, where is the direction home? Maybe, probably, it's this direction."
"The direction is being calculated. The Yun family is located 30 degrees west-north of the current position."
"Liuli, you are my yyds, so, can you tell me by the way, which direction is 30 degrees west by north, hehehe?"
But Liuli just won't tell you, what can Yunyang do? What else can he do? Say goodbye.
Yunyang sighed deeply: "Oh, I really can't do anything about you. Let me draw a cross coordinate first. It should be when the sun has just risen, so here is east, left, east, right, west, up, north and down. South, very good, 30 degrees west by north. That’s probably this direction.”
"Okay! Let's go"
For some reason, Yunyang always felt that something was wrong, but for a moment he didn't know what it was, so he simply ignored it and started on his way home.
After running quickly for about a few minutes, I vaguely heard a woman's cry for help coming from afar.
"Help, help!"
