A few days later, the figures of Ye Chen and the old man slowly appeared deep in the mountains.
In the few days of conversation, Ye Chen gained a lot. The old man impatiently explained to himself some things that he had not understood in the past.
At this moment, Ye Chen also knew the old man’s name, Ye Leng. Although Ye Leng’s name contained a cold character, his temperament was unusually enthusiastic. The two of them rode wind horses slowly on the mountain road, and they were walking under their feet.
It was a cliff with a huge height. The gravel accidentally stepped on by the wind horse fell down the cliff, and the sound of "ding-dong-ding-dong" was extremely clear.
"Senior, this secret guard station is a bit too remote!" After several days of turmoil, both of their faces showed a hint of exhaustion.
Ye Leng gently patted Feng Ma to calm Feng Ma's restlessness, and said with a smile: "This is also the reason why the Dark Guard has been established for hundreds of years and no one knows. In fact, the purpose of the Dark Guard was to gain important influence in the family.
In times of crisis, they step in to support the family, but in recent years, the secret guards have also handled some trivial matters for the family!"
Ye Leng seemed to be speaking lightly, but how could Ye Chen not know that the trivial things he mentioned must be about killing people and selling goods. The development of a family must be based on the interests of countless people, and there must be no shortage of killings. Ye Chen also
I have long been accustomed to it, so I hummed slightly and remained silent.
A few moments later, in front of the two of them, there was a mountain wall so high that it could not reach the top. It was like an impassable road blocking the front.
Ye Leng glanced behind him, and after not noticing anyone, he jumped off the horse.
Ye Chen also jumped off the horse, raised his eyes slightly, looked at the towering mountain wall, secretly thinking that the secret guard's station should not be up here!
Sensing Ye Chen's doubts, Ye Leng couldn't help but chuckle: "This mountain wall is over a thousand meters long. Without Qi Martial Realm cultivation, it is impossible to go up!"
While speaking, Ye Leng took a few steps forward, and his withered right hand slowly poked out from his sleeve. In an instant, an extremely dazzling light appeared in the palm of Ye Leng's hand, and his right hand was pressed directly on the stone wall in front of him.
Above, the light instantly jumped into the stone wall, and the stone wall actually shook slightly.
Suddenly, a "rumbling" sound suddenly sounded, and the stone wall suddenly became dislocated, and the shape of a door appeared in front of them. Immediately, the stone wall continued to move around, and a passage large enough to accommodate several people appeared in front of Ye Chen and the two of them.
In front of him, at the same time, two figures suddenly jumped into Ye Chen's eyes.
Wearing black military robes, the loose military robes wrapped the figures of the two people, and they were wearing masks that covered half of their faces.
The aura on the two of them was like deathly silence. It was not until the stone path emerged that the eyes of the two slowly opened. Their sword-like gaze swept over Ye Chen and Ye Leng. Ye Chen's pupils shrank slightly.
He secretly thought in his heart that he was so strong. These were definitely Qi Martial Realm warriors. Could it be that they were the commander-in-chief that Ye Wen mentioned?
The two of them just glanced at Ye Chen with the corner of their eyes and then looked away, slightly arching their hands towards Ye Leng: "You're here!"
Ye Leng smiled slightly, patted the two of them on the shoulders, and said: "Yes, it's stronger than before!"
Even as he greeted Ye Chen, he walked towards the stone path in vain and disappeared into the stone path. The two people closed their eyes tightly again. Ye Chen nodded slightly, followed Ye Leng, and stepped into the stone path.
At that moment, a faint fragrance came from the stone path.
After passing through a long and dark stone path, it suddenly opened up. Behind the high mountain wall, there was indeed a cave. What appeared in front of us was a huge manor that was so big that we couldn't see the edges at a glance. And on the periphery of the manor,
It is covered with a sea of flowers. In the stone path, the faint fragrance is emanating from the sea of flowers.
Ye Leng greeted Ye Chen and walked towards the stone path. After just a few steps, Ye Leng's figure suddenly stopped.
Ye Chen also stopped and looked at Ye Leng with a little doubt. What surprised Ye Chen was that there was a trace of solemnity on Ye Leng's face. His eyes were changing, with nostalgia and sadness, following Ye Leng's direction
As far as I can see, I can see a sea of flowers that are growing extremely lush, and the fiery flowers are swaying in the wind.
"Ye Chen, have you seen such a sea of flowers before?" After a long time, Ye Leng spoke slowly, with a hint of complexity in his tone.
"I've seen a sea of flowers before, but the flowers there don't grow as well as here!" Ye Chen said softly, although he didn't understand what was wrong with Ye Leng.
"Yes! The flowers in this world don't grow as well as here. Ye Chen, do you know why?" Ye Leng suddenly turned around, and his bright eyes fell on Ye Chen. In those eyes, Ye Chen
Seeing a trace of vicissitudes of life, he whispered: "Why! Is it because it is located in a high mountain!"
"Because of the high mountains, you have a rich imagination, but the reason why these flowers grow well is just because of this land!" Ye Leng turned around again, and his old body squatted down, like a child, greedy
Absorbing the fragrance of the flowers, the breeze blows and the sea of flowers floats, like waves of ocean waves.
"Isn't it possible that the soil here is relatively fertile in this land?" Could it be that there is another mystery to this sea of flowers, Ye Chen secretly thought.
"The soil is fertile, let's just say that first! After all, countless people were buried under this land. After their death, they became the nourishment for these flowers." Ye Leng turned around again and looked at Ye Chen, whose expression changed slightly.
He continued: "I don't know how many secret guards are buried under this land. They live here and they are buried here when they die!"
At this moment, Ye Chen finally understood why Ye Leng's face showed a solemn look. It turned out that there were secret guards buried under the sea of flowers.
"The secret guards are also descendants of the Ye family, why not send them to the Ye family cemetery!" After the Ye family ancestral hall is the Ye family cemetery, where the ancestors of the Ye family are buried. The secret guards are used to attack the Ye family.
The contribution he made is enough to be buried in the cemetery, Ye Chen said with a slight doubt.
"Cemetery!" Ye Leng actually showed a trace of yearning in his eyes. He stood up slowly, put his hands behind his back, looked at the sea of flowers, and said in a low voice: "The Secret Guard has no past and no future. They will join the Secret Guard again."
At that moment, some were gone, and all that was left was the heart to protect the Ye family! I remember that the head of the family said that after you join the secret guard, no one will know your identity. Not only that, you will not know other people if you agree.
identity, because the moment they joined the Dark Guard, they had no names! All they had was the cold code name, and only when they died could they have their own names again! However, they could only be buried here.
That’s all, there is no tombstone, no funeral for the hero, just a plaque in the ancestral hall! This is the secret guard!"
"There is no past and no future!" Ye Chen had a solemn look on his face, looking at the sea of flowers with a slightly solemn gaze.
"Ye Chen, do you know that my grandfather's grandfather is buried here, and then my grandfather, my father, my mother, and my brothers, they will sleep here forever, even though they are loyal to the family,
But they have always been so unknown, no one has heard of them! Even today's Secret Guards do not know them. Each generation of Secret Guards will always be forgotten, and the only thing that remains is the will of the Secret Guards to protect the family and the family.
The people they cherish most exist inside, and they protect the people they cherish most. Although the people they cherish most don't know, every time a generation of secret guards dies, another group will replace them and take over their will - to protect the Ye family.
As Leng spoke, a look of solemnity appeared on his face. Although they were unknown, they were proud of being the secret guards.
"Don't the Secret Guards ever complain? As you know, if it weren't for the Liuluo family this time, I'm afraid the children of the family wouldn't even know about the existence of the Secret Guards, nor would they know about these unknown people.
Heroes, haven't you ever complained?" There was a hint of emotion on Ye Chen's face.
"Hero?" A smile appeared at the corner of Ye Leng's mouth, and he immediately shook his head and said: "Ye Chen, this title is not suitable for the secret guards. The hands of every secret guard are stained with blood.
There are many innocent people among them, including some ignorant children and some waning old people. In their eyes, the Secret Guard is a symbol of the devil. The Secret Guard is like a killing machine that never tires. Therefore, the title of hero has never been
Secret Guards!"
Gently touching the petals, Ye Leng's eyes once again revealed a hint of memory: "And the complaint you mentioned, haha, the moment we joined the Dark Guard, we knew our next fate. This is our
Why should we complain about our own choice? I remember that it was my father who brought me here. I once asked the same question like you, and my father said: They
We are the leaves bathed in the sun, and we are the roots hidden in the darkness...".
"They are leaves bathed in the sun, and we are the roots hidden in the darkness..." Ye Chen read this sentence softly, with a look of emotion on his face.
