Father and son are connected.
Seeing Liu Yi's concerned and frightened eyes, the old man chose to tell a white lie, so he held down the copper coins around his waist and said with a smile, "Haha, Yi'er will be confused if he cares, right? Think about it with your little brain. , you are Quan Sheng's weakness. When you are in Lingyuan City, thieves will take advantage of it, and your father will be in great danger. But now that you are following me out of Lingyuan, your father is alone, so naturally he is not afraid of those ghosts and snakes. Don’t worry, your father is a great talent in the world, and he won’t have any problem dealing with these little brats who are blocking his way.”
Liu Yi wanted to get more stories about his father from Mr. Xia, so he asked in a subtle way, "Grandpa Dongfang, what kind of person is your father in your mind?"
"He has great talent, and his ambition reaches the past and present." Dongfang Chunsheng said about his proud disciple, with a proud smile on his face, but when a warbler cried in the empty valley, the old man was called back to the world from his joy, and he breathed a sigh of relief. , sighing softly, "Their generation was born at the wrong time. When they were about to enter the officialdom, it coincided with the rise of the Qin Dynasty, which was recruiting talents. Our Han Empire was also in the twilight years of Emperor Shenwu, and there was chaos. Many imperial elites felt that they were in the Han Empire. The future was worrying, so he and his family joined the Qin Dynasty. This incident was also known as 'Scholars running northward' at the time. In those years, the empire was really in a difficult situation at home and abroad, and many talented people who were able to govern the country were let go."
At this point, Dongfang Chunsheng paused, relaxed his breath, and continued, "So, in the Han Empire at that time, there were only a handful of people who could compare with your father. Unlike in the temples and martial arts in recent years, where talents have emerged in large numbers , capable people are everywhere, it’s much more exciting than it was more than ten years ago, but of course, it’s also much more helpless!”
"He has great talent, and his ambition spans the past and present..., it sounds so awesome!" Liu Yi's eyes suddenly sparkled.
"What? Want to give it a try?" Dongfang Chunsheng looked at Liu Yi with doting eyes.
Liu Yi hurriedly shook his head, smiled, and asked, "Grandpa, what is father's ambition?"
"Observe astronomy to observe the changes of time, observe humanities to transform the world!" After stroking his beard, Dongfang Chunsheng gathered Liu Yi's clothes, his old wrinkled face was filled with relief.
Liu Yi pursed his lips and murmured, "Grandpa's words are completely empty. What he said is as if he didn't say it."
Dongfang Chunsheng laughed loudly, but because the sound was too loud, he accidentally woke up Dongfang Yu who was sleeping soundly. Amidst Dongfang Yu's coquettishness, Dongfang Chunsheng and Liu Yi stuck out their tongues at the same time.
"Grandpa, sleep in peace, I will take my leave."
Liu Yi did not continue to ask. There were some things that he needed to find answers for himself.
So he stood up, patted his butt, gave Dongfang Chunsheng a junior salute, returned to the fire with a solemn expression, buried his head in his clothes, and did not return to the hut.
"One thing grows up, one thought leads to life! People all grow up like this, and they all age like this!" Dongfang Chunsheng looked at the stars, wrapped himself in a fur coat, and returned to the fire tremblingly. Next to the pile, stay with Liu Yi.
No more words to say all night!
The mountains are dark in the morning, and the dew in the winter morning is vast.
Although the Lingyuan Mountains are not as majestic as the Qinling Mountains, there are still a lot of things that should be there. Tigers and giant bears can be seen everywhere in the mountains, and rare medicinal materials are also available. Some experienced hunters will go into the mountains together in early winter. After four or five days, they will We can find many deer and roe deer that were too late to den for the winter, and spend the winter beautifully. This shows that the Lingyuan Mountains are full of all kinds of beasts.
The sky was just getting slightly brighter, and everyone was awakened by the smell of meat in the hazy state. They lazily walked out of the hut and took a quick look. The dead man was putting two hares on the fire to roast, and a few frozen eggs. The fruits were placed around the campfire, gradually defrosting, and the rabbit oil dripped into the fire, making a sizzling sound. Although there was no condiment, it still aroused the greed in everyone's belly.
Especially Dongfang Yu, who has always been frank and straightforward. Due to his eating habits, his thin lips are stained with a little water color, making him look like a dripping cherry.
While eating, Shi Chen recounted all his recent deeds, and everyone had different expressions. Liu Yi stared straight at the charcoal fire. Dongfang Chunsheng lamented that the Liu family had deep roots. Dongfang Yu looked at the deceased Shichen with admiration. Xia Qing, on the other hand, changed her face again and again. When she heard the last word, she let out a loud "wow". Start crying.
"My dear mother! Tell me, tell me, the robber who took people's money still had to keep a house. It's okay this time. My building was burned down, and the people escaped. I lost both my life and property! I Years of savings have been ruined in one go!" Xia Qing cried with a wide mouth while munching on the rabbit meat. She shook her big head, causing everyone who was still a little depressed to laugh.
After the fun, the group, at Dongfang Chunsheng's suggestion, prepared to discuss various matters regarding their trip to Bozhou.
But suddenly, in the lonely empty valley, the sound of voices came from all directions.
The son of the state lives in Jintong and flows along the river into Penghai.
Since ancient times, there are flying immortals. Where are the traces of their emergence?
The floating life is like lightning, and the old age suddenly passes.
There is no change in the prehistoric times, and the old appearance disappears in the new year.
I drink wine too late, and my feelings have been forgotten.
A free and easy little poem flows smoothly. An old man walks from far to near, floating and standing, like a fairy in the book.
At this moment, except for Liu Yi, who was still stunned by the bonfire, everyone else changed their colors like frightened birds.
Death Shichen's pupils were constricted and his face was full of disbelief. Although he was weak after the battle and his hands were weak, the old man was nearly thirty feet away without being noticed by him. The level of the two people was immediately obvious.
This made Shi Chen feel helpless: Could it be that these days, all the literati who enter the country are ruined?
The dead man Chen swallowed, but he was not timid. He held his sword in front and asked loudly, "Who is the senior? Is he the person sent by the Liu family to intercept and kill him?"
At this moment, Dongfang Chunsheng and Xia Qing walked to Death Shichen's side at the same time, wrapping the two children behind them, ready to risk their lives to escort the two children to escape.
"The old man from the mountains came here looking for something to eat. He asked for a piece of rabbit meat. It's nothing to worry about! Be patient and don't be impatient. Be patient and don't be impatient."
The old man walked leisurely around the wall of people, sat by the fire, tore off a piece of rabbit meat and chewed it slowly, looking at Liu Yi who had just woken up.
The fairy-like old man looked straight away and said in a warm voice, "In 295 AD, that is, forty-five years ago, I accompanied Emperor Shenwu on his expedition to the north, and returned from the south after a tragic victory. I passed by the Lingyuan Mountains and accidentally encountered the 'North Pole True Man' In the ancient relics, he left the army to hide in the mountains and learned the three skills of looking at Qi, maintaining health, and deducing. Young man, I think you have good luck and are full of heavenly spirits. Why not stay with me in the mountains to realize Taoism, and you will be able to find more in the future. Daodao, Yuhuatongxuan, ranks among the immortals."
The old man said as he ate, his white beard was covered in oil stains. After eating, he didn't forget to rub the oil stains on his hands on his clothes. Soon the word "immortal" was no longer attached at all.
Looking at the strange old man in front of him, Liu Yi took a long breath, showed off his ability to maneuver both sides of the aisle as a waiter in Wangbei Tower, and said with a smile, "The old immortal will definitely be able to achieve great things in the future. This junior is just a restaurant waiter. Without talent or foundation, how can I deserve your true inheritance?"
"You kid, you are quite interesting."
The white-haired old man stroked his beard, forced out a smile, rolled up his sleeves, and squatted beside Liu Yi to persuade Liu Yi. There was a hint of abduction in his gentle approach.
Just like those selling fake medicine on the street!
After listening to the old man's self-narration, Dongfang Chunsheng was thoughtful, and then he suddenly realized that he finally recognized the person. Then he rolled his eyes and scolded loudly, "You shameless old guy, everything you say is sensational, ridiculous. To the extreme. Eat quickly, and get out of here after you finish eating. You are an old and immortal guy. You haven’t figured out the things in the world yet, and you still think about things about ghosts and gods? What’s the matter, are you confused as a cultivator?"
The white-haired old man squinted at Dongfang Chunsheng and said with disdain, "Dongfang Chunsheng, I didn't expect that you are still an ordinary person at this age. Oh, I praise you for being a famous person, but now you are not even a state. Well, since you How can an ordinary person know the mystery of transforming three pure states into one breath!"
"What a joke! You old guy was just a deserter back then, how dare you peek into the sky?" Dongfang Chunsheng wrinkled his forehead, raised his voice, and looked at the white-haired old man with disdain.
"Snapped!"
As soon as Dongfang Chunsheng finished speaking, a rabbit bone hit his head and was inserted squarely into Dongfang Chunsheng's bun.
The white-haired old man burst into laughter and teased Liu Yi beside him, "Look, look, if you mess with me, you won't miss the target even if you hit someone. Come on, come on, come with me!"
Dongfang Chunsheng didn't hesitate. He rolled up his sleeves, walked forward in three steps and pushed the old man down. They punched and kicked each other, and they started fighting in the white snow!
this.......
This is not like a duel between masters!
