The general finished scattering the bait in his palm and turned around, only to see his stern eyebrows and handsome face. Perhaps because he had been on the battlefield for a long time, he was not angry but had self-prestige. This kind of prestige did not come from fierceness, but from a sharp and awe-inspiring righteousness.
.
"Although the explanation is more complicated, I can tell you briefly and concisely. You must be mentally prepared, because what I will talk about next will subvert your world view." The general paused and continued: "The world we live in
There is something that can make people have extraordinary abilities and live longer than ordinary people. We call this thing vitality. Yuanqi is everywhere like air, but only a few people can
Perceiving and absorbing it, we call these very few people monks."
After speaking, the general flicked his sleeves, and a strong wind blew through the big tree standing beside the pavilion. The green leaves fell down, and then he flicked his hand again, only to hear a few whistling sounds, and the fallen leaves were stuck in the rocks beside him like flying knives.
, neatly arranged in a row.
After the demonstration, the general continued: "This is just the tip of the monk's iceberg."
Li Xiaotian was shocked when he saw this miraculous scene. He suddenly thought of Shopkeeper Yun who saved his life at the inn that day. He was originally wondering how a weak woman could have such great abilities. Now it seems that she is also a monk.
, and Lieutenant General Duan, who was seen but not seen by the dragon along the way, should also be a monk.
"Does that mean that the people who informed the court and the demons are all monks?" Li Xiaotian's face was solemn. If it was really the demons who did it, then the demons should represent a group of monks, which is much stronger than the Qiu Kingdom. He wants to
I'm afraid it will be difficult to take revenge.
"Not only that, they are much stronger than you think. The two can be said to be the leaders of the largest forces on the continent, and they are also hostile forces." The general added, paused, and continued, "Generally speaking, monks
The world of monks will not interfere in the affairs of the secular world. The secular world is managed by major kingdoms. Even if there is a war between countries, the monk world will not interfere. This time, the incident in Lijiagou is indeed sudden and strange. As for the
I’m afraid only those who have reached a certain level of spiritual practice may be able to know the truth.”
Li Xiaotian was silent for a moment and asked: "Can I become a monk?"
The general said: "Can you feel the vitality? In other words, do you often feel that there is something lingering around you? It is invisible and intangible, but it is real."
Li Xiaotian closed his eyes and tried his best to feel the so-called vitality. In the end, he felt nothing and could only shake his head and said: "No."
The general said: "Generally speaking, sensing vitality is innate. As for absorbing vitality, that is, introducing Qi into the body, it will vary depending on physical talent. To become a monk, sensing vitality is a prerequisite. Obviously, you cannot become a monk.
"
Li Xiaotian was unwilling to give in: "Is there no chance at all?"
The general said: "Everything in the world has its own destiny, and no one can change it."
Being powerless is a very painful thing. Take Li Xiaotian for example. He clearly has a clue for revenge, but this clue is simply located in the sky. It is not something that an ordinary person like him can touch. Not to mention touching, just looking at it.
He couldn't see it. At this moment, he suddenly remembered why the guy on the horse said that he was an ant. At this moment, he had to admit that he was an ant. It was already a simple matter to find out what happened in Lijiagou, let alone a tree.
revenge?
Li Xiaotian temporarily put away his belittlement and expressed the second doubt in his heart: "Why does the general want to see me?"
The general said: "How should I put it? My meeting with you has nothing to do with you. It's just for the long-cherished wish I have had in my heart for many years."
thump!
Li Xiaotian suddenly knelt on the ground and said: "Li Xiaotian begs the general to help Lijiagou find out the truth and give them justice. After all, they are also the people of the Qiu Kingdom. They are very kind and benevolent. I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
!”
The general did not agree or refuse. He only said: "You are tired from running all the way. Go and rest first."
Li Xiaotian naturally understands the saying that a man has gold at his knees, but as a white-faced scholar, his enemies are monks with extraordinary abilities, especially since his life span is much longer than that of ordinary people. If he gets old, sick and dies, who can avenge him?
Therefore, if you want to avenge this blood feud in your lifetime, you must rely on others. For now, the general in front of you is the one who can help you the most.
But when he thought about it carefully, Li Xiaotian felt that he was really a bit fanciful.
No matter who is the culprit of the massacre of Lijiagou, he is a giant, and cannot be compared with the Qiu Kingdom. And he is only a general of the Qiu Kingdom. Putting aside other things, even if he wants to help, he is more than willing.
But the power is not enough, and besides, this matter will do no good to the general, so why should he help you investigate and avenge you?
Is it really for the innocent souls of more than a hundred people in Lijiagou and for the so-called justice in their hearts?
Thinking of this, Li Xiaotian just took the general's words as a polite refusal, laughing at himself that he was blinded by hatred, and a helpless feeling of despair arose spontaneously.
Li Xiaotian stood up, bowed to the general, apologized for his nonsense and thanked him for his care, and then left silently. The girl who had been waiting at the entrance of the hospital led Li Xiaotian to the prepared residence.
The general looked at Li Xiaotian's lonely figure and murmured to himself: "Is he really the person I'm looking for?"
In the spacious wing, dim candlelight filled with incense, Li Xiaotian lay on a wood-scented bed, covered with a soft brocade quilt, staring longingly at the white silk tent, feeling empty in his heart, as if he did not belong to this world.
Maybe I was really tired, and after a while I fell asleep.
In his sleep, Li Xiaotian returned to Lijiagou and saw his parents and fellow villagers. The whole village was lively and peaceful. Just as Li Xiaotian was about to say hello to them, suddenly, their bodies began to burst into flames.
After a while, it turned into ashes and disappeared. Li Xiaotian cried desperately, but could not make any sound.
Just like that, Li Xiaotian woke up. When he woke up, his face was full of tears, his clothes were soaked in cold sweat, and he was breathing heavily. Obviously, he had a nightmare.
Along the way, Li Xiaotian had the same nightmare countless times.
After the nightmare, I was insomnia all night again. It wasn't until dawn that my body couldn't hold it any longer and I fell asleep again.
Li Xiaotian didn't sleep for long. In the early morning, he was woken up by the chirping of sparrows outside the window.
These days, Li Xiaotian was already feeling very depressed. Now that he was troubled by the uninterested bird, he found someone to vent to. He quickly got out of bed, picked up his shoes, opened the window, and prepared to throw them away.
As soon as I opened the window, I saw three birds on the treetops in the small courtyard, two big and one small, like a family. They were jumping around, flying up and down, chasing and playing. They were so happy. This reminded Li Xiaotian of
He recalled the joy of riding in a boat with his parents to pull lotus roots, the joy of playing hide-and-seek in the straw fields, and the joy of searching for wild fruits in the mountains. Those scenes were so similar to the scene before him that Li Xiaotian could not bear to do it after all.
Go and destroy this sweet scene with your hands.
Dong Dong.
There was a knock on the door suddenly. It was Jin Jue, the maid who was waiting for him, who had brought him breakfast.
Li Xiaotian looked at the breakfast on the table. It was quite rich. He was afraid that two or three people would not be able to finish it. He was feeling depressed and had a bad appetite, so he asked Jinjie to sit down and eat together. Don't waste it.
Jin Jue was flattered and said quickly: "Young master, I have already eaten it in the morning."
The master didn't eat, how could the girl eat first?
Although Jin Jue's words were full of loopholes, Li Xiaotian didn't understand these mattress rules and felt it was a waste. He specifically told him: "Just make half the portion earlier next time. It's a pity if you can't finish it. You can handle the rest by yourself, don't throw it away."
Yes, you can eat it when you are hungry."
Jin Jue's face was full of surprise. It was the first time that a master cared about food so much. It was the first time that a master cared about his servants so much. At first, she was arranged to serve this new young master, and she felt quite uneasy. After all, in Kyoto, the young young master brother
But there is no good owner. Now, seeing that Li Xiaotian has no airs and has such a good heart, he is full of joy.
"Yes." Jin Jue stood at the door of the room and nodded solemnly.
