Chapter 35 I Believe Anyway
Chapter 35 I believe it anyway
At the end of the war, the soldiers began to clean the battlefield. This time, the Shi Mansion and the Three Color Stone suffered heavy losses. The soldiers carried the bodies of comrades and enemies in pairs to bury them to treat the wounded, and everyone was solemn. But everyone looked at me, and always smiled or bowed. I withstood the pressure and shot the killer of the Three Color Stone, which unexpectedly won the love of the soldiers.
A few days later, the Shi Mansion had cleaned up and there was no sign of a cruel battle here on the surface. However, the guards of the Shi Mansion had more things in their eyes, including heavyness, majesty, and pride as the guards of the Shi Family.
I was chatting with Lu'e on that day. The day after the Sansei Stone attacked Shi's Mansion, I asked someone to pick up Lu'e. The other three ladies stayed at Shi Dong's outer house Guizhi, saying that they wanted to stay for a few days, but the reason was that they were having a good time with Guizhi, and the sisters couldn't bear to separate. At this moment, a guard stood at the gate of the courtyard and shouted: "Report to the fifth master, the old man, please come over and talk."
I went out and asked him to lead the way. The guard looked respectful and led me all the way to the place where Shi Cundao temporarily handled official duties at home.
Halfway through the way, I saw a group of servants gathered around, and someone in the circle was filled with a lingering river: "...At this moment, the fifth young master came out of nowhere, which scared me. I was lying in the grass nest at that time. I didn't expect that he was coming back to help, and I asked the fifth young master to hide with me."
The crowd of onlookers suddenly burst into laughter, and the person in the circle continued, "The fifth young master looked around and saw that he had a feces spoon in his hand and was about to pass by - you know what happened later. The fifth young master used it and didn't know how many people of the three-color stones were killed... Just scoop and splashed, no one could escape!"
Someone in the crowd asked, "Where is the spoon now?"
"That's my baby. I have washed it and collected it. From now on, that will be my heirloom. I will pass it to my son when I die, and my son will pass it to my grandson when I die!"
I pushed everyone away and said, "Xiao Douzi, are you starting to talk about storytelling again?"
When Xiaodouzi saw that it was me, she said excitedly: "Fifth Master, are you here?"
When the servants saw me, they all came to see me, and they retorted with a slight respect and a slight intimacy. These people were different from the guards. The guards looked at death as if they were home, but the servants might not have such awareness. Therefore, the guards were thinking about the fifth master and were proud of their brothers, but they thought that the fifth master saved their lives.
Farewell to the servants, I followed the guard straight to Shi Cundao's house. As soon as I reached the door, I sniffed suddenly. It was a familiar and refreshing smell of tobacco. When I walked in, I saw Shi Cundao sitting behind the wide table with a cigarette pouch, spraying smoke leisurely in his mouth. Seeing me in, I smiled and owed, "Sit down."
I sat opposite the old man and smiled and said, "Grandpa isn't busy today?"
Shi Cundao waved his hand: "I still have time to chat with my grandson if I'm busy."
I looked around and said, "Did grandpa tell us something?"
Shi Cundao said: "Stop looking, we are the two of us today."
"Oh." I sniffed hard and waited for the following.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Shi Cundao smiled and said with a smile: "You don't have anything to say to me?"
"Uh... where to start." I naturally knew the purpose of the old man coming to me. After his useless grandson ran away from home, he had a great cultivation of thousands of miles a day. At the last moment, he actually turned into a sword saint. The shock to the old man was probably not smaller than that of Wei Wuji with the three-color stone attack. Tian Shi Cundao did not ask me these days, and no one in the Shi family had ever talked to me. He was probably waiting for me to give them an explanation.
And I also have my difficulties. Although I had made plans with Prince Yun as early as the border of the Eighteen Kingdoms, the matter was still too abrupt when it came to an end. You should know that if you can barely explain it with talent from the sword boy to the sword student, then the swordsman, then suddenly transforming into the sword saint would be too amazing. It is not even simpler to have a relationship between quantitative change and qualitative change, which is incomprehensible in the thinking mode of people in the mainland. Considering this, I simply said with a heart: "Grandpa, I actually lied to you."
Shi Cundao said: "What's going on?"
I said, "Actually... I'm not a sword saint."
Shi Cundao said confidently: "No, this is not wrong. I clearly felt your sword energy that day. Besides, if you didn't fight with Wei Wuji with the cultivation level of the Sword Saint, you wouldn't be able to fight him in three moves, let alone kill him away."
"This... I'm lying to you that I'm not a sword saint at all, I'm... I'm a sword god!"
"Cough cough cough..." The old man almost held his eyes out by a puff of smoke: "What did you say?"
"Do you remember there was a man on the border of the Eighteen Kingdoms to split the mountain with one hand?"
“…that, that?”
"Yes, that person is me!" Instead of hiding, it would be better to give the old man a dose of strong medicine. Anyway, my identity must be clearly identified. It is better to take this opportunity to pour it out at once.
Shi Cundao stared at the sight of his eyes widening and then muttered for a long time: "What happened?"
I said without delay: "Last time I left home, I walked all the way, one day I suddenly had a dream. When I woke up, I felt something was wrong. That day I happened to arrive at the foot of Camel Mountain and learned that Heijis besieged Feifeng Army. I thought Heijis was an enemy but not a friend, so I took a palm and Camel Mountain was broken."
Shi Cundao took a breath: "That's it?"
I spread my hands and said, "That's it."
Shi Cundao asked: "How do you feel after you have that dream?"
I said, "I don't feel anything special. It doesn't hurt or itchy. It's just that there is often a sensation of energy running in the dantian. I later realized that it was sword energy, and this thing is sometimes effective and sometimes not."
Shi Cundao said: "Then your strange moves..."
I said, "What I told my grandfather was part of the mountain, and most of it seemed that I could do it myself. If someone beat me, I naturally had a way to deal with it. It was really strange to say."
Shi Cundao silently pounded the ashes at the corner of the table, as if thinking, and then he slapped the table: "The Sword God is reincarnated!"
I felt very happy. Zhao Benshan said it well, so he came up with me. I asked in a fake manner: "What is the reincarnation of the Sword God?"
Shi Cundao said: "More than 20 years ago, there was a great sword god on the mainland. At that time, the two continents were in full swing, and Heijis had the upper hand. This man slashed Heijis with one sword and tried to cut Heijis's mountain with one sword. Heijis had no choice but to withdraw his troops. Heijis also died because of the collapse of his meridians. Later, people discovered that although the sword god died, his power was not eliminated..." So Old Shi Yuanyuan told me the legend, which was similar to what I heard in Su Jing. It seemed that although this story was not well known to everyone on the mainland, it was not a secret in the top leaders of several countries.
Shi Cundao told the story in a leisurely manner and finally concluded: "Now it seems that the only explanation is that the power of the Sword God re-recognizes the master, and its new master is you! Or, you are the reincarnation of the Sword God!"
I was startled and said, "So that's how it is?"
Shi Cundao suddenly stood up, paced around the room with his hands behind his back, and kept murmuring: "Sword God...Sword God..." Finally, he suddenly stood there and laughed loudly, "So my grandson turned out to be the Sword God!"
I had to stand up and said, "Grandpa, are you okay?"
Shi Cundao rushed to me with a quick step, grabbed my shoulder and said, "Sit down, I'll ask you, do anyone else know about this?"
"No, I've only told you one person."
Shi Cundao nodded and suddenly frowned again, "No, I'm afraid this matter won't be hidden for long."
"Why?"
Shi Cundao said: "You defeated Wei Wuji in public and could not be blocked no matter what. Even if we don't tell me, the God-Binding Guard will find the root after investigation, and I need to report the truth to the emperor."
I pretended to be confused and said, "Didn't you say that this matter will be detrimental to me once it is made public?"
Shi Cundao smiled and said, "Silly boy, I didn't say that I was afraid of disturbing your cultivation before. Now you are at the peak. What are you afraid of? Besides——" Shi Cundao's expression turned solemnly, "Besides, this matter is very important, and grandpa dare not be private. The new sword god is a big thing that has a profound impact on the entire continent. It would be fine if we don't know it. If it is secretly revealed, the emperor will also be suspicious!"
"What suspicion?"
Shi Cundao tried his best to say, "Wulang, do you know how heavy the burden on your shoulders is?"
I smiled and said, "The burden is not heavy, grandpa is heavy."
Shi Cundao smiled and let go, then said seriously: "As the Sword God, it's not your own business. From now on, the safety of Hong Lie Empire and the lives of millions of soldiers are on your own shoulders!"
I shook my head and said, "It's obviously your responsibility." I took this opportunity to flatter me...
Shi Cundao looked at me with his eyes earnest, even a little hot and flattering, just like I was his grandfather: "Wulang, do you know what my greatest expectations for your father, your elder brother and second brother?"
I shook my head.
"I hope they can fight bravely and lead by example, and in my lifetime I can produce one or two talents, take over the handsome seal from me, and promote my Shi family."
I said perfunctorily: "It must be OK, no problem..."
Shi Cundao shouted: "Then do you know what I expect from you?"
I said, "You hope I can study hard and improve every day, and be able to take a civil service exam in the Ministry of War."
Shi Cundao smiled and said, "It was really like this before." He gritted his teeth, "But now, I hope you can lead the three armies and reach the capital of Heijis. I, Hong Lie, have suffered from the previous shame of repeated defeats over the years, and even destroyed Heijis and then wiped out the world and unify the continent, create an unprecedented prosperity for my Hong Lie Empire and the Shi family!"
My heart suddenly became cold. It turned out that Old Man Shi was also a war madman. If he wiped out the world, he would inevitably meet with his mother and his mother. My purpose this time was to join forces with him and his mother.
Seeing that I was shocked, Shi Cundao immediately said, "Of course, the world is the future. The most urgent task at present is to guard against Heijis' attack. If the soldiers of the three armies knew that there was a sword god leading the way in front of them, their morale would be greatly boosted, and Heijis would be insignificant."
I said, "But grandpa, I can't fight."
Shi Cundao said without hesitation: "The Sword God did not fight back then. Heigis's troops were still stronger than us after he slashed Mount Osguna, but why they were defeated was because the morale of the army was disintegrated. The truth is now the same."
I sighed secretly. It turned out that Shi Cundao and Su Jingzhuan had the same thoughts, and they both wanted me to be a vase. I tentatively said: "Why don't we alliance with the Women's Country?"
Shi Cundao said: "It's not easy to talk about it. Will we go to help them or do they help us after the alliance?"
I said, "Of course, it's hard for anyone to help."
Shi Cundao smiled slightly: "Children's words, the Continent of the Federation is only as strong as ours as ours. Mutual assistance must be considered as the rise and fall of the other. Instead of being in harmony with each other, it is better to fight each other. If it were not for Hegis' restraint, our two families might have started to attack long ago. What alliance should they talk about?"
I wanted to say something, but I found that Shi Cundao's simple truth was impossible to argue. The so-called country has no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. This is a truth. Shi Cundao's intention to unify the mainland, but his mother may not have had such thoughts in her mind. If she really didn't think about it, it would only mean that she was an unqualified general. As the commander, she could not be wrong.
Shi Cundao looked at me and smirked a few times, and suddenly became excited. To be honest, I was furious by him. In fact, the reason I made up had no technical content, but the facts were in front of me, so I said that Shi Cundao is not a fool, but on the contrary, he is very smart, but no matter how smart a person is, he has blind spots in his knowledge field. In the mainland, I have only three sword gods appeared in total. Shi Cundao does not doubt that I would lie to him, because he thinks there is no need to lie to him at all. Besides, he doesn't know what is wrong with the power of the sword god spread to me through dreams. Perhaps in his opinion, this is the explanation for why I became the sword god. In fact, even if I said that I was choked and fell, he could only listen and believe it.
Shi Cundao was stunned for a while and suddenly said, "By the way, I have to tell your father and the others about this news." He ordered people to find Schi and Stilyang, and during this period, our grandparents and grandchildren chatted for a few words.
"Huh, why have your eyebrows shortened?"
"Ahem, shaved."
"Why?"
"Ahem, don't ask."
"Huang Yifei hasn't caused trouble for you these days, right?"
"He doesn't dare."
"Hey, I'm embarrassed to say that. I'm one level higher than Wei Wuji and let him run away."
Shi Cundao lit a pot of cigarettes again and said happily: "Wuro, do you know what made me most confused before?"
“What’s the matter?”
"Su Jing."
I scratched my head and said, "You are most worried that she is not from the Honglie Empire."
"Wrong!" the old man smoked, "What I am most confused about is not her country, but the Sword God is actually a little girl, and that's all right now."
I curled my lips. The old man is very serious about favoring boys over girls. I said, "You always say that, my third uncle is under even more pressure." Then we chatted for a while. Although the third brother's outer husband knows a lot, no one has seen him before, so even Shi Cundao couldn't hide his curiosity when he spoke.
Seeing that I kept staring at his cigarette pier, Shi Cundao handed me: "You have a bag?"
I was overjoyed. Before I came here, I prepared two cigarettes without bringing anything. Unfortunately, I was soaked in water when I came. I could only fuck him next to him for so long. Today, I saw Shi Cundao smoking a pipe and realized that there was tobacco in this world. The greed was already aroused, and I could no longer hold it. I took the opportunity and said, "I'll give it a try."
When Lao Shi saw two squirting smoke from my nostrils, he wondered, "When did you learn this?"
I talked nonsense: "Maybe the Sword God knew it, but this skill has been passed on to me again."
Shi Cundao sighed: "The Sword God is indeed omnipotent!"
As a result, when Shi Cundao and I came, we were smoking one by one. Everyone was stunned when they saw that Brother Shi Cundao and I were like two brothers, and they were so angry that they were stunned. Shi Cundao shook the majesty of their parents in front of everyone. He held his hands behind his back and said straight to the point: "Tell you one thing - Goro is the reincarnation of the Sword God!"
“…”
Looking at the shocked expressions of everyone, Shi Cundao added: "As for whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway."
