Lu Jing and Xia Huai both had questions, but seeing that the feast had already begun, they could only keep their mouths shut for the time being.
However, although they were hungry, both of them only moved their chopsticks symbolically and did not eat anything.
Judging from the dishes served on the table, it was indeed as the white-haired and white-bearded old man said, they were all ordinary mountain delicacies, but just like the secret brew before, the secret power contained in them was quite rich.
After drinking for three rounds, he seemed to notice that the food and drinks in front of the two of them had not been touched much. The old man with white beard and white hair spoke again, concerned, "What, but the food doesn't taste good?"
"No, the boy just has something to puzzle over." Lu Jing said.
"Oh, why not tell me this." The old man with white hair and white beard put down his chopsticks and said kindly.
"I see that this place is beautiful, and the villagers are well-educated and very harmonious. But because of this, I am increasingly puzzled as to why the academy has issued a ban to prevent freshmen from setting foot here, and the people who come here are also silent after returning."
Lu Jing simply clarified the doubts in his mind.
The old man with white hair and white beard didn't seem to expect that Lu Jing would be so direct. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, and then a playful look appeared on his face. He did not immediately answer Lu Jing's question, but asked instead.
"I heard that you just walked around the village."
Lu nodded, "Not bad."
"Have you seen any familiar characters?"
Xia Huai trembled when he heard this and asked, "Why did the elder say this?"
Although the girl did not answer directly, the look on her face at this moment had all the answers written on her face.
However, Lu Jing's reaction surprised the white-haired and white-bearded old man.
This young man's face didn't change at all.
So the old man with white hair and white beard took the initiative to ask, "What about you?"
"I don't see anyone familiar here." Lu Jing said truthfully.
"Where's the stuff?"
"I haven't seen either."
"This is impossible," the old man with white hair and white beard frowned for the first time, "Did I miss it?"
As he spoke, he looked at a junior next to him, who took out two rosters. The old man with white hair and white beard opened the first one first, turned directly to the last page, and then read out the name on it, " Xia Bai...well, this surname seems to be that of your relative."
Hearing a snap, Xia Huai accidentally knocked over the wine cup on the table and attracted the attention of the old man with white hair and white beard.
"Eh... this is someone you know? But isn't your surname Lu? Could it be that the two of you have known each other before?"
As he spoke, he opened another booklet, also flipping to the end. However, this time the expression on his face froze. He turned the last page over and read it three times, and then continued to the next page. Turned a page before.
Finally, he said in disbelief, "This... this, why is this happening? Are you a perfect saint, or are you extremely cold-blooded and ruthless? Don't you have any regrets in your heart?"
"I do, and there are quite a lot of them." Lu Jing said frankly.
As an ordinary person, he does regret a lot of things.
For example, the college entrance examination score is a bit low, otherwise I could go to a better school.
Another example is the girl at the table next door who has always had a crush on her. She didn't have the courage to ask for her contact information until graduation.
I also didn’t expect that I would time travel inexplicably, so I didn’t have time to take my parents on a nice trip abroad before traveling. There were so many things worth regretting.
The old man with white hair and white beard had been sizing up Lu Jing. Seeing that his tone and demeanor did not seem to be lying, but the look on his face became more and more shocked, and then asked, "Do you know why this place is called Wuyou Village?"
"Appreciate further details."
"Because whatever happened on the other side of the cave that you regret most in your life will have the opportunity to be corrected in this village." The old man with white hair and white beard said.
"Wait, you mean, as long as I save my brother here, my brother on the other side can also come back to life?" Xia Huai said excitedly.
"That's not the case," the old man with white hair and white beard shook his head, "As you can see, the worlds on both sides of the cave are not connected. You can only make up for your regrets here, but you can't affect the other world. Besides... ...You have confused me. Isn’t your surname Lu? Why does your brother have the same surname as him?”
"Sorry, because we were not clear about the situation here, we changed our last names a little bit," Lu Jing said.
"So your surname is Lu and her surname is Xia. That's it." The old man with white hair and white beard said that's the case, but his brows didn't open much.
"But this still doesn't explain why you don't regret it in your heart?"
Lu Jing had some guesses in his mind, but some of them were hard to express.
The thing he regretted most in his life was related to his grandmother who died of illness. However, this thing did not happen on the other side of the cave.
Therefore, he could not see his grandmother who died of illness in the village again.
When Lu Jing thought of this, instead of being happy, he felt inexplicably sad.
He could now understand why Xia Huai was so excited.
Life is like chess, you have no regrets when you make a move.
No matter what, being able to make up for the regrets of the past and getting a chance to regret the game is what many people dream of.
Perhaps this is the true meaning of Biyoudongtian.
Xia Huai then asked the old man with white hair and white beard, "Then can I take my brother away?"
"no."
"Then...can I come here often to see him in the future?" the girl begged.
"No way."
Seeing that the girl was about to change her color, the old man with white hair and white beard hurriedly explained, "It's not that I don't allow you to do this, but once you leave, your brother will disappear from the village... Now you can understand why your The teacher won’t let you come here.”
"How could this happen?" Xia Huai was stunned.
The most cruel thing in life is this. It is not easy to make up for the regrets of the past, but the result is just a mirror.
"There's nothing wrong with staying," the old man with white hair and white beard advised, "You can stay with your brother. The village is rich in secret power and is very suitable for cultivation. As you can see, the people here are all He is very warm and honest, and if you get tired of staying in the village, you can take your brother to other places."
"Is there any other place?" Lu Jing asked.
"Of course, just like the academy is just a small corner of the world on the other side of the cave, Wuyou Village is just a corner of the world here. There is a vast world. Of course, the world outside is also much more complicated than in the village." Bai The old man with a white beard said.
After a pause, he continued, "If you can't make up your mind right away, you can stay in the village for a while. As for whether you go or stay in the end, neither the old man nor anyone else in the village will stop you."
