The old man was described as haggard, with his long hair hanging down, revealing a withered face. The whole person looked like a ghost, which gave people a feeling of terror.
He didn't know how long he had lived on this snow-capped peak. Even the herders nearby didn't know that there were still people living in this cold place all year round.
The old man has no name, and no one can tell how old he is, and no one knows his origin. However, it is obvious that he and the old nun in white know each other, but as soon as they see each other, they can't wait to jump off the cliff and escape, which makes the matter a little more revealing.
strangeness.
Seeing him leaving and returning, the old nun didn't feel surprised and said: "I ask you to come out and help me kill someone."
"Who is he?" The old man looked the old nun up and down, and was suddenly surprised: "You have already fought with him, and you were injured. Oh my, you are no match for him. What can I do if I go to help?
They were not killed together by him."
"Don't look down on yourself. Back then, the descendant of the witch doctor of Western Shu could destroy an entire city with just one move, let alone just kill one person today." The old nun in white said calmly.
The four words "Witch Doctor of Western Shu" seemed to remind the old man of some bad things. He stood there and laughed twice: "Western Shu has died, so why bother mentioning the past things again."
It has indeed been so long that almost all the people who were alive at the time are dead. It was indeed a long, long time ago, when the world was in chaos, there was no empire as it is today, and there were only nineteen countries fighting each other. At that time, the madman Li
The Barbarian was born, sweeping away the nineteen kingdoms with an iron spear, and bringing down an iron-clad Wu Dynasty.
Of course, that was also a hundred and twenty years ago. Now people in the world are thinking about how to gain one or two benefits from today's troubled times. But in this world, wherever you go, you will leave traces. Li Manzi ironed
In the nineteen countries that have been swept away by guns, there are always some survivors, old and young, still alive.
One hundred and twenty years, both short and long, is not enough to kill the dreams of the old and the young to restore the country.
They have been passed down from generation to generation, carrying the old dream of their homeland and taking root in today's empire. No one can tell what kind of power they have created now.
The old nun in white said: "You live on Daxue Peak, very close to Liangzhou. Do you know that a tycoon has emerged in Liangzhou, and in just a few years he has created quite a powerful force?"
"Who is it? Why haven't I heard of it?" the old man asked.
"Daxue Peak is not far from Qinchuan. You shouldn't have heard of his name." The old nun in white frowned: "How have you lived these years?"
"It's just very ordinary. I hunt two little beasts every day and burn snow into water." The old man said proudly: "I have been living pretty well. Living alone is still very easy."
The old nun in white looked at him in disbelief and said, "So, how long has it been since you last talked to anyone?"
"Um... uh..." the old man frowned: "Is it ten years or eight years ago? I didn't remember it carefully."
The old nun shook his head helplessly: "Come down the mountain with me. Now that the world is in chaos, this is an opportunity for you and me to do something."
The old man almost jumped up from the ground as if his tail had been stepped on, and kept saying: "I know it, I know it... Your Highness, it's been a hundred years, what else is there in the world like Western Shu and Eastern Chu, but
They are just a bunch of street rats, you really think we can restore our country."
The expression of the old nun in white suddenly paused. It seemed that he had not heard the word "princess" for a long time. This old man was the descendant of the witch doctor of the Shu Kingdom. The witch doctor of the Shu Kingdom was famous all over the world. He had lived alone for so many years and devoted himself to research. I really don't know who he is.
What level of medical skills are there now? And this old nun in white is considered to be the royal family of Western Shu. If the Kingdom of Shu still exists, she should have the status of a princess. Unfortunately, the Kingdom of Shu died a hundred years ago.
Ever since she was born, the previous generation had planted the idea of reviving the country in her heart. She has been living with this idea for so many years, but she actually doesn’t know how to reestablish the country.
Later, she was lucky enough to get a martial arts genius like Nie Yinniang, who became the best in the world at a young age. So she ordered Nie Yinniang to kill some descendants of the traitors of the Shu Kingdom. In fact, she did not pay close attention to how killing these people had anything to do with the restoration of the country.
Thought about it.
Now, after the old man asked the question in one sentence and saw the old nun's hesitant expression, he could probably guess what she was thinking.
"Who does the princess want to kill?"
"His name is Cheng Dalei..."
"The name sounds ordinary." The old man said: "What's the reason why he must be killed?"
So, the nun in white told what Cheng Dalei had done. In fact, she didn't know much about it. It was just hearsay. When the rumors in the world came to her ears, she still didn't know what Cheng Dalei had become.
"It turns out that he was born a bandit." The old man sighed: "So, he is the enemy of the empire. If the princess wants to restore the country, shouldn't she win over him? Why should she kill him again?"
"This..." The old nun in white paused.
The old man sighed leisurely, and he knew that this old nun's mind was not very good. After all, he had been able to keep the idea of reviving the country until now, and his mind was not clear about it.
"We are all old." The old man sat down cross-legged on the ground and said: "When I was young, I was also a handsome and handsome man. I knew everything from playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting to medicine, divination and astrology. How many wealthy ladies held their thoughts and thought about me.
Tell me a word. What happened next? The boss wanted to recruit me into their gang, the West wanted to recruit me into their gang, and the empire wanted to kill me. My parents, wife, and children all died tragically in the process, so I hid on this snowy peak.
I have been hiding for thirty years. Sometimes I think about it, after such a lifetime, I have really failed to live up to what I have learned. But then gradually this thought fades away. After all, I am already so old, or I may have been buried in the snowy mountains without waking up that day.
"
"Restore the country..." The old man rubbed his eyes: "Restore this shitty country."
The old nun in white listened to him silently and said, "My disciple is dead."
"You are dead when you die. How long can you and I live if no one is dead?" The old man said: "In my opinion, you shouldn't go down the mountain. Just stay on the big snow peak. I will hunt and you will boil water."
From now on, it doesn’t matter who dies first, there will always be someone watching over us."
The old nun in white stared at him with incredulous eyes and said: "How come the shaman Meng Xuanqing, who was so graceful and graceful back then, has become like a wild man in the past few decades?"
The old man named Meng Xuanqing smiled, and his smile was a bit threatening: "If you don't talk to anyone for decades, and you see someone, you won't be willing to let her go. Princess, I'm old, my arms and legs are really old, I'm so old
I can’t accompany you down the mountain anymore.”
The old nun in white was silent for a while, then sighed and said: "What you said may not be unreasonable, but when you are alive... you always have to do something."
