A few days later, the figures of Ye Shaohan and the old man slowly appeared deep in the mountain.
In the few days of conversation, Ye Shaohan gained a lot. The old man impatiently explained to himself some things that he had not understood in the past.
At this moment, Ye Shaohan also knew the old man’s name, Ye Gaoleng. Although Ye Gaoleng’s name contained a cold character, his temperament was unusually enthusiastic. The two of them rode wind horses and walked slowly on the mountain road.
It was a cliff of ten thousand feet. 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 part of the Ye Family Army's garrison is a bit too remote." After several days of bumps, both of them had a look of exhaustion on their faces.
Ye Gaoleng gently patted Feng Ma to calm Feng Ma's restlessness, and said with a smile: "This is also the reason why Ye Jiajun has been established for hundreds of years and no one knows. In fact, the purpose of Ye Jiajun's establishment was to deal with major crises in the family.
, to support the family, but in recent years, Ye Jiajun has also handled some trivial matters for the family."
Ye Gaoleng seemed to be speaking lightly, but how could Ye Shaohan not know that the trivial matters in his mouth 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 Shaohan has already
I was used 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 Gao Leng glanced behind him, and after not noticing anyone, he jumped off the horse.
Ye Shaohan also jumped off the horse, raised his eyes slightly, looked at the towering mountain wall, and secretly thought that the Ye Family Army's station should not be up here.
Sensing Ye Shaohan's doubts, Ye Gaoleng couldn't help but chuckle: "This mountain wall is over a thousand meters long. It's impossible to climb it without cultivation at the Spiritual Emperor Realm."
While speaking, Ye Gaoleng 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 Gaoleng's hand, and his right hand was pressed directly in front of him.
On the stone wall, 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 Shaohan.
, at the same time, two figures suddenly jumped into Ye Shaohan'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 breath on the two people was like deathly silence. It was not until the stone path emerged that the eyes of the two people slowly opened. Their sword-like eyes swept over Ye Shaohan and Ye Gaoleng. Ye Shaohan's pupils shrank, and he felt in his heart.
The secret path is so strong. These are definitely Spirit Emperor realm warriors. Are they the commander-in-chief that Ye Gaotong talks about?
The two of them just glanced at Ye Shaohan with the corner of their eyes and then looked away, slightly arching their hands towards Ye Gaoleng: "You're here."
Ye Gaoleng smiled slightly, patted the two of them on the shoulders, and said, "Yes, it's stronger than before."
Even as he greeted Ye Shaohan, he walked towards the stone path in vain and disappeared into the stone path. The two people closed their eyes tightly again. Ye Shaohan nodded slightly, followed Ye Gaoleng, and stepped into the stone path.
In an instant, 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 Gaoleng greeted Ye Shaohan and walked towards the stone path. After taking only a few steps, Ye Gaoleng's figure suddenly stopped.
Ye Shaohan also stopped and looked at Ye Gaoleng with a little doubt. What surprised Ye Shaohan was that there was a trace of solemnity on Ye Gaoleng's face. His eyes were changing, with nostalgia and sadness, following Ye Gaoleng's direction
Looking coldly, he saw a sea of flowers that were growing extremely lush, and the fiery flowers were swaying in the wind.
"Ye Shaohan, have you seen such a sea of flowers before?" After a long time, Ye Gaoleng spoke slowly, with a hint of complexity in his tone.
"I've seen the sea of flowers before, but the flowers there don't grow as well as here." Although he didn't understand what was wrong with Ye Gaoleng, Ye Shaohan said softly.
"Yes, the flowers in this world don't grow as well as here. Ye Shaohan, do you know why?"
Ye Gaoleng suddenly turned around, and his bright eyes fell on Ye Shaohan. In those eyes, Ye Shaohan saw a trace of vicissitudes of life, and said softly: "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 Gaoleng turned around again, and his old body squatted down, like a child, greedily absorbing the fragrance of the flowers. The breeze blew, and the sea of flowers floated with it, like a wave.
"Is it possible that the soil here is relatively fertile in this land?" Is there another mystery to this sea of flowers, Ye Shaohan secretly thought.
"The soil is fertile, so to speak. After all, countless people were buried under this land. After their death, they became the nourishment for these flowers."
Ye Gaoleng turned around again and looked at Ye Shaohan, whose expression changed slightly, and continued: "I don't know how many Ye family soldiers are buried under this land. They live here, and they are buried here when they die."
At this moment, Ye Shaohan finally understood why Ye Gaoleng's face showed a solemn look. It turned out that the Ye family army was buried under the sea of flowers.
"This part of the Ye family army is also a descendant 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 contribution made by the Ye Family Army to the Ye Family is enough to be buried in the cemetery, Ye Shaohan said with a slight doubt.
"Cemetery..."
There was actually a trace of yearning in Ye Gaoleng's eyes. He stood up slowly, put his hands behind his back, looked at the sea of flowers, and said in a low voice: "This part of the Ye Family Army has no past and no future. The moment they join the Ye Family Army again, they will
What is missing is the determination to protect the Ye family. The head of the family said that after you join the Ye family army, no one will know your identity. Not only that, you will not know the identity of other people if you agree, because after joining the Ye family army
At that moment, they had no names, only the cold code names, and only when they died could they have their own names again. However, they could only be buried here, with no tombstones, no funeral for heroes, just
Just add a plaque inside the ancestral hall and this is the Ye Family Army."
"There is no past and no future." Ye Shaohan showed a solemn look on his face, looking at the sea of flowers with a slightly solemn look.
"Ye Shaohan, 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. Although they are loyal to the family,
They have always been so unknown, no one has heard of them. Even the current Ye Jiajun does not know them. Every generation of Ye Jiajun will always be forgotten, and the only thing that remains is the Ye Jiajun’s will to protect the family. There are people they cherish most in the family.
, protect the people you cherish most, even if the people you cherish don’t know, every time a generation of Ye family soldiers dies, another group will replace them and take over their will to protect the Ye family.”
As Ye Gaoleng spoke, a look of solemnity appeared on his face. Although they were unknown, they were proud to be members of the Ye Family Army.
"Have the Ye Jiajun never complained? As you know, if this was not a matter of the Dugu and Wu families, I am afraid that the children of the family would not know about the existence of the Ye Jiajun at all, nor would they know about the existence of these unknown heroes.
Haven't you ever complained?" Ye Shaohan had a hint of emotion on his face.
"hero?"
A smile appeared at the corner of Ye Gaoleng's mouth, and he immediately shook his head and said: "Ye Shaohan, this title is not suitable for Ye Jiajun. The hands of every Ye Jiajun are stained with blood, and there are many innocent people among them.
There are some ignorant children and some waning old people. In their eyes, Ye Jiajun is a symbol of the devil. Ye Jiajun is like a killing machine and never tires. Therefore, the title of hero has never belonged to Ye Jiajun."
Gently touching the petals, Ye Gaoleng's eyes once again showed a hint of memory: "And the complaint you mentioned, haha, the moment we joined the Ye Family Army, we knew our next destiny. It is our own
Why should we complain if we choose? I remember that it was my father who brought me here. I once asked the same question like you, and my father said: They are
Leaves bathed in sunlight, but we are roots hidden in darkness..."
"They are leaves bathed in the sun, and we are the roots hidden in the darkness..." Ye Shaohan read this sentence softly, with a look of emotion on his face.
"Our existence is only for the Ye family to develop more prosperously." Ye Gaoleng bowed to this sea of flowers, where too many memories were buried.
At this moment, Ye Shaohan finally understood why the Ye family had fallen and still had such strong strength. It was only the Ye family army that was supporting it.
Ye Jiajun has always been silently supporting the Ye family. They are the roots in the darkness. They have been running around for countless days and nights, supporting the towering tree of the Ye family.
At this moment, Ye Shaohan could not help but feel reverence in his heart, and he also bowed to the sea of flowers. They may not be heroes as Ye Gaoleng said, but they are people worthy of admiration.
