It’s always dark

"Brother, do you really feel safe leaving it to Brother Han?" Li Qingshan hesitated while holding the white chess piece.

"Above the throne of God, under the sky, it's useless if you go there." Yan Se dropped a white stone on the chessboard.

"There is a letter from the headmaster of the temple, asking us to kill Wei Guangming in Chang'an no matter what. He has sent people to the border. As long as we agree, we can come to assist." Li Qingshan took out the letter and handed it to Yan Se.

"Ha, you are so ambitious. It seems that senior brother has caused great trouble to some people in Xiling this time!" Yan Se chuckled while looking at the letter, and then put it aside casually.

"He came back this time probably because of what happened fourteen years ago." Li Qingshan reminded with a heavy expression.

"Son of Hades..."

"I understand what senior brother is like. If I could have persuaded him, something like that wouldn't have happened back then." Yan Se seemed to remember something and shook his head.

"Then what are Master Nephew Han planning to do?" Li Qingshan asked anxiously.

"Ye'er told me that if the soft one doesn't work, he'll be hard." Yan Se replied with a calm face.

"What!?"

‘Bo’

There are ripples in the lake.

The bait enters the water and pulls the fishing line to sink to the bottom of the lake.

Han Ye was sitting by Yanming Lake, crossing his legs and humming a little tune.

"I can't help but turn into a stubborn fish and swim against the ocean current to the end alone~"

There was also an empty fishing rod without bait on his hand.

A white-haired old man slowly walked out of the tree-lined path and walked lightly to the lake. He looked at the young man who was fishing by the lake.

The young man was bathed in the sun, and the sparkling waves around him made him look like a sparkling gem.

The old man was minding his own business and sat next to Han Ye.

Staring at him quietly.

Half a moment.

"I can't help but turn into a stubborn fish and swim against the ocean current to the end alone~"

"I can't help but turn into a stubborn fish and swim against the ocean current to the end alone~"

"Can't help it..."

"Do you only know this sentence?" the old man asked gently.

Han Ye glanced at him.

"I know a lot, but some fish can only do this if they can't handle it." Han Ye replied with a smile, suddenly raised his hand, and a plump mandarin fish flew out of the water and landed in a bucket nearby.

"Together?" Han Ye picked up the fishing rod beside him and handed it to the old man.

The old man's eyes seemed to be filled with infinite curiosity when he looked at Han Ye, and he raised his hand to take it with a smile on his face.

"Just put the bait on and throw it out, yes, that's fine." Han Ye praised the white-haired old man as he watched him imitate him in fishing.

"Do you like fishing?" the old man asked.

Han Ye shook his head.

"So you like to eat fish?"

Han Ye continued to shake his head.

The white-haired old man was silent.

"It's spring now, and the salmon are at their peak. If we don't catch them and let them reproduce, the ecology of this lake will be in chaos." Han Ye pointed at the vast Yanming Lake, where a few egrets were seen.

Flying over the water.

The white-haired old man looked in the direction of Han Ye's finger, lowered his head and thought.

"So you fish to maintain the balance in the lake?" the old man asked again.

"No, I just want to keep myself alive, eat fish, and give me the strength to do other things."

at the same time.

wilderness.

The master was putting the roasted and tender peony fish into his mouth. As soon as he took a bite, he suddenly froze.

"Are you eating fish for other reasons?" The Master looked up at the sky.

The old man looked at Han Ye calmly. At this moment, Han Ye seemed to have turned into a shining star in his eyes, so dazzling and bright.

"I didn't expect your cultivation level to be so high." The old man said with some sigh.

Han Ye smiled and said nothing.

"Do you know the difference between humans and animals?" the old man asked.

"It doesn't make any difference. I'm a human, but my friends around me sometimes call me a beast." Han Ye turned his head and looked at the old man, revealing a row of small white teeth.

“···”

"I want to accept you as my apprentice."

Imperial Prefecture.

'boom!'

Yan Se pressed the black chess piece between the wooden grids with one finger, and cracks suddenly appeared.

"This old guy came to Tang State to poach me?"

Han Ye shook his fishing rod. The fish at the bottom of the lake felt the vibration and swam away quickly.

"But I already have a master, uncle."

The white-haired old man was a little stunned when he heard Han Ye call him this name. After thinking about it for a moment, he seemed to be relieved.

"Your master is Junior Brother Yan Se?"

"He can't teach you."

Yan Se jumped off the chair angrily and rushed out of the door.

"Hey, I'm so grumpy!"

The white-haired old man looked at Han Ye expectantly.

"Do you believe in chance? Many years ago, I saw the shadow of the night falling on this city."

"Then I saw a man who was born with knowledge in Chang'an City. I felt that this was wrong, because there should be no people in the world who were born with knowledge."

"This is where my opportunity for him begins, which is to kill him."

"Now I see you again."

"You, filled with the radiance of the bright sun, are my new opportunity."

Han Ye nodded when he heard this.

"Then do you know why I can't catch fish?"

Han Ye randomly grabbed a handful of bait and threw it into the lake.

Countless swimming fish at the bottom of the lake rushed to gather at the location where the bait was dropped.

The white-haired old man looked at the bottom of the lake in confusion. There were whitebait, catfish, carp, and shrimps and crabs there, but there was no mandarin fish that Han Ye wanted to eat just now.

"The bait I spread was eaten by some miscellaneous fish."

"But it is undeniable that because of the movement of the miscellaneous fish, my target was set."

The old man looked at a few old mandarin fish that were about to move next to the fish school.

"But if these miscellaneous fish keep jumping around, it won't be beautiful."

Han Ye's rod vibrated and the fish dispersed. A huge mandarin fish swam over and bit the bait in one mouthful.

"This is my opportunity."

Han Ye's voice seemed to contain two rhythms, one coming from the physical body, and the other coming from the ethereal world.

The old man stared blankly at Han Ye's side face, as if the surrounding space and time suddenly stopped for a moment, and a face made of divine light overlapped on Han Ye's face and stared at him.

Han Ye raised his hand, and the black mandarin fish jumped out of the water, curled up in the air, and scattered water droplets fell on the old man's confused face.

The old man woke up from his trance.

"Senior Brother Guangming, you are well."

A childish voice that was tender yet full of age sounded from behind Wei Guangming.

He looked back and saw a little boy wearing a monk's robe looking at him with a smile.

"Yan Se?" Wei Guangming said in disbelief.

"it's me."

Yan Se sat down between the two of them, and their silhouettes were reflected in the lake, like grandfather and grandson.

"I don't understand." Wei Guangming's tone changed from gentle to respectful at this moment. He glanced at Yan Se, who had turned into a child, and then looked at Han Ye.

"What don't you understand?" Han Ye asked.

"What is darkness? What is Pluto?" Wei Guangming had doubts about the world in his eyes for the first time.

Han Ye reached out and placed Wei Guangming's hand in the sun. He moved it slowly, and the shadow gradually covered Wei Guangming's eyes.

"Uncle, look."

"It is originally black."
