The drizzle and breeze are like mother's hands, caressing the earth gently.
Separated from his parents since childhood, Jiang Yichen has a particularly vague concept of a loving mother and a strict father.
Walking around the rivers and lakes, he often saw children being pampered by their parents, but he was rarely touched.
However, not being envious does not mean not longing for it.
He received loving care from Yin Niang, and devoted cultivation from his uncle and Uncle Yi.
Now that he heard the news about his biological parents, it undoubtedly lit up a gentle light in his heart, telling him that there was still a harbor called home, waiting for him to dock.
Hearing the concern in his tone, the old man did not hesitate to say bluntly: "The good news I know so far is that they are still alive."
Jiang Yichen said nervously: "And... bad news?"
The old man said: "The bad news is that they negotiated with the Japanese bandits for many days and were both injured and fell into coma. In the end, they were most likely kidnapped and went to Japan."
Jiang Yichen said in shock: "What?!"
"Don't worry, kid, just listen to me." The old man said hurriedly, "Japanese people cherish talents, and your parents are both outstanding people. Naturally, the Japanese people hope that they can teach each other everything they have learned in their lives. Therefore, although they
Your personal freedom will be restricted, but your life will not be in danger."
"Aren't Japanese people just wishful thinking?" Although Jiang Yichen knew very little about his parents, Jiang Yichen was inexplicably convinced that his parents would never help the tyrants and live in this world.
The old man sighed and said: "Of course force won't work, but by hard work, you may be able to gain something. After all, the most important thing Japanese people lack is time."
Jiang Yichen asked in confusion: "What does the old man mean by this?"
The old man said: "The Japanese people must do their best to heal your parents and restore them to their original state. They will support and entertain them from the beginning to the end. Even if your parents know that this is a trick set by the Japanese people, they will never do it again."
It is difficult to raise a weapon against the Japanese. In the first year and a half, they may be able to firm their stance. After three to five years, they may still be unwavering. But what about ten, fifteen, or twenty years later?
"
"What the previous generation couldn't accomplish, this generation continues to do it. This generation still can't do what it wants. The next generation, and the next generation continues. The Japanese people have never stopped thinking about occupying the land of Zhongzhou. They are really persistent.
." Jiang Yichen was separated from his parents due to the invasion of Japanese bandits, and his parents were missing because of this. Therefore, he would never miss any news about Japan. He often heard that the Japanese island was narrow and long, and suffered from earthquakes all year round.
The mountains are shaking and tsunamis are coming one after another, making it extremely uninhabitable. This is why the Japanese insist on invading Zhongzhou.
"Perseverance? Not necessarily." The old man slowly sat up from the bed and continued, "Although Zhongzhou has a vast territory and abundant resources, this is only measured in terms of the territory of a dynasty. If we want to discuss it in detail, Zhongzhou still has
Many areas have poor resources and harsh environments, no less than those in Japan. Those places are sparsely populated, and people come out of them from time to time, either to see the outside world or to make a living elsewhere, but they never forget their roots, let alone
They will abandon their original homeland and kill and invade wantonly. In the final analysis, the Japanese people are too ambitious and unwilling to stand on the present."
The old man spoke solemnly, and it was clear that he could never let go of the suffering that Japan had brought to Zhongzhou.
After hearing this, Jiang Yichen thought about it and agreed, and couldn't help but ask, "What will happen to the Japanese people if Chen'er's parents remain secretive?"
The old man said: "No matter what choice they make, the Japanese people will treat them with the same attitude and give them enough courtesy, but they will never let them leave Japan for half a step."
Jiang Yichen asked: "Then what should Chen'er do to bring them back?"
The old man said slowly: "This matter needs to be discussed in the long term. It is too early to say anything now."
After a while, Jiang Yichen sighed softly: "Chen'er understands, as long as they can still live, it will be fine."
Although he couldn't see Jiang Yichen's face clearly in the dark, the old man could still feel the young man's indescribable loss.
The old man comforted him: "Don't be impatient, Chen'er. I believe that one day, your family will be able to reunite."
When Jiang Yichen heard this, he suddenly thought of something. His lips moved slightly, but he stopped talking. In the end, he just silently looked forward to that day in his heart.
The old man seemed to notice something strange about Jiang Yichen and said, "Chen'er wants to know the names of your parents?"
Hearing what the old man said, Jiang Yichen almost blurted out "I want to know."
However, in the end, he still suppressed the turmoil in his heart and said: "If my father and mother were really put under house arrest by the Japanese, then Chen'er should not know their names. The fact that they have been able to live in peace for the past twenty years shows that as long as
If Chen'er does not exist, the Japanese will have no other means to threaten them."
The old man said: "As a son of man, you cannot admit your own existence, which is also a pain for you. There are only a handful of people in the world who know your life experience. One day, you will be able to enter and leave the twelve main altars of Tiansha.
If these caves, dragon pools and tiger dens are uninhabited, no one can use you to threaten your parents."
Jiang Yichen said: "Chen'er will work hard."
The rain pattered.
Jiang Yichen glanced at the door.
The dim light that came through the window was much dimmer than when it came.
He calmed down and prepared to seize the time to talk to the old man about Baihua's battle, and then leave early to let the old man have a good rest.
But I heard the old man chuckle and say: "As I get older, I talk more. I haven't seen you for a long time, so I hope you can talk more. I know that you are here today because you still have some unanswered questions about the Appointment of Hundred Flowers. This matter
Don't rush it, I will answer it for you later."
"Can……"
"My family doesn't have that many rules. Besides, people are in high spirits during happy events. I'm naturally very happy that you can come. No matter how tired I am, I will be gone. You don't have to worry about my old bones." Jiang Yichen was about to speak.
The old man had interrupted.
The old man added: "As for the eyes and ears outside Juyuan, they have developed a habit of keeping tabs on them for a long time. Around midnight, they are at their most energetic. If you go out at this time, you will not be as relaxed as when you came in.
"
When Jiang Yichen heard this, he no longer insisted and stayed with peace of mind.
The old man suddenly said: "Speaking of your identity, are you really without suspicion in the Nether Sect for more than half a year?"
Jiang Yichen guessed that the old man didn't know how he got involved in the Nether Sect, so he started from the story of how he met the eggs and Mei Huaijin of Buji Island in Shu, and then how he became an apprentice of the Four Thousand Jin Hall, and then accidentally got involved in the Nether Sect.
In the sect's plot against Yuntian Guan, he finally succeeded in entering the Nether Death Cave under the guise of being an elite of the Nether Sect. He was grateful to Master Ji and Master Suo, and was appreciated and promoted by Ye Shang.
Finally, Jiang Yichen concluded: "Others in the Nether Sect probably didn't see my flaw. Only Ye Shang, I'm really not sure why he would help me like this."
Jiang Yichen expressed his doubts, thinking that the old man's knowledge would be able to help him analyze the reason.
The old man didn't seem to have recovered from the story Jiang Yichen had just told. After a while, he said: "Ye Shang? I also wanted to recruit this person for my own use, but I couldn't do it."
Jiang Yichen was shocked when he heard this. He had never expected that the old man would extend an olive branch to such a big figure in the evil sect.
The old man said again: "Do you know where the cross scar on his face came from?"
