Jing Ke was filled with surprise as he slowly walked behind that young man. He slightly bowed and said, "This little brother, I came from afar and disturbed you by passing by."
He was slightly surprised, hastily looking over his head at Jing Ke before quickly calming down, but with the demeanor of someone who didn't panic in the face of danger. He only slightly shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing." Then he turned around and continued kneeling in front of the Second Tomb, waiting for the branch to burn to the ground.
"I wonder who little brother is paying his respects to?" Jing Ke couldn't help but to ask out of curiosity when he saw him being so respectful to Eryi Tomb.
Unexpectedly, the young man actually shook his head slightly, his eyes staring at the tablet of the Second Tomb as he slowly said: "To be honest, I also don't know the name of the person I pay my respects to. However, according to my ancestor, he comes here to pay his respects every day."
"Oh?" When Jing Ke heard the young man's words, he was even more puzzled. He immediately asked, "Then have you ever seen a senior of the cattle herding in this mountain often visit this place?"
He once again knelt on the ground, stood up and carefully sized up Jing Ke's body from top to bottom. Then, he saw that there was a long item tied behind Jing Ke's back like a long sword, which made him frown as he probingly asked, "Mister, did you come all the way from Wei Daliang?"
Hearing this young man's reply without answering the question, Jing Ke was also very surprised, and immediately said: "I am."
"Are you here to find a senior called Su Dai?" That young man saw Jing Ke's answer and his own judgment, and immediately asked.
The words of the young man made Jing Ke somewhat suspicious. He also sized up the young man: handsome eyes, red lips and white teeth. Although he was in his year of weakness, he had an imposing manner, and actually had the bearing of that old man, Mu Niu. As he sized up the youth, he answered once again: "This one has come to properly look for Senior Su."
The young man heard his own guess, and laughed heartily. He cupped his fists towards Jing Ke and said, "My master told me this morning that a guest from Wei Daliang will be coming from afar to find him. He asked me to pay more attention when I pay my respects, I presume he's referring to you, Sir?"
His words caused Jing Ke to be even more surprised. He didn't expect that Senior Su Dai would have such a sacred art. He was hundreds of miles away, yet he could predict the situation so precisely. Wasn't he a godly person? And this young man in front of him was actually a disciple of the Su Clan, so he immediately cupped his fists and bowed towards the young man, and said respectfully: "Old Senior Su is indeed an extraordinary master, Jing Ke is extremely terrified. Since Little Brother is a disciple of the Su Clan's Senior, I hope that you can introduce me to Jing Ke."
"Then please follow me." When the young man saw him being overly courteous, he only felt that it was a bit funny. Thus, he gestured to the small path beside him and led the way forward.
Jing Ke was originally a prodigal son who didn't know much about the scholarly and refined way of studying, but now that he was called mister by the later student, he felt a little uncomfortable. He could only follow behind and explain, "Little brother, please don't call me mister, Jing Ke is just a wandering martial artist, I'm a few years older than you, just call me Big Brother Jing."
"Oh, I have." The youngster continued walking ahead of them without turning back, agreeing to Jing Ke's request on the surface.
And at this moment, Thief Sheng and the others just happened to catch up with Jing Ke at this Eryi Tomb, and didn't stop for a moment, when they saw Jing Ke following a little boy dressed in mourning clothes up the mountain road, afraid that he would fall into some kind of ambush, so they didn't dare delay any further, and only followed behind Jing Ke from a hundred steps away, in case something happened to happen.
Jing Ke followed the youngster for about half a day, until the forest quietened down, then he finally arrived in front of an extremely simple and crude thatched cottage. The hut had clearly been reclaimed by someone, and between the ridges of the fields, it was crisscrossed with many others, covered with flowers, plants, and vegetables. At the side of the cottage, there was a wooden fence that wrapped around a barnyard. An old buffalo was leisurely chewing on a straw bean.
But in this room, the fragrance of the millet was coming out, causing Jing Ke, who had been starving all day, to continuously swallow his saliva.
From the surroundings, Jing Ke guessed that the owner of this cottage had already returned, and even personally made food.
"The universe cares about hands, and everything else matters about the body. As long as I can use it myself, it's enough to establish the world." Just as Jing Ke's stomach rumbled and his brain was in chaos from starvation, he suddenly heard that someone was singing a poem in the house late at night, making him feel very at ease.
"Master, I'm back." The youngster heard the voice of Su Dai, and reported from outside. He was about to lead Jing Ke through the door.
Jing Ke followed the young man into the cottage, opening the curtain woven from green bamboo, only to see an old sage sitting upright on the table. The table in front of him was filled with many dishes and food, eating the millet rice he had personally made, while laughing happily.
The old man's eyes were as sharp as torches, and his long beard fluttered in the wind. This was the old man who had been the nomad last time, the descendant of the He Zong family, Su Dai.
This made Jing Ke think back to the first time he saw his benefactor's belly, but the only difference between him and his teacher was that he was only dressed in coarse hemp, like an old man who had grown his land in the countryside, and did not look as dignified as his benefactor's belly at all.
Seeing this old man, Jing Ke immediately cupped his fists and greeted, "My name is Yan Guo's envoy Jing Ke, I pay my respects to Senior Su."
Su Dai lowered his head to fiddle with the utensils in his hands and used a few clay bowls to divide the food on the table. The bamboo wine was brewed from the wine, but he didn't look at Jing Ke.
The meaning of Su Dai's words was, of course, to have met this Su Dai before on the way to Wei, but had met him at that time.
"Senior's words are very true, it's just that Jing Ke has gone overboard with his words." When Jing Ke heard Su De's words, he apologized profusely.
"Young Hero, since you've come to my humble abode, why not sit down and enjoy this self-brewed wine with this old man, and grow your own food?" As Su Daizhi spoke, he took out a portion of the food in front of him and pushed it towards Jing Ke.
Jing Ke didn't even have time to express his thanks when he heard the youngster beside him say with a face full of displeasure, "Master is actually so biased, I had to burn a fire to pay my respects for a whole day before I meet such a person. But now I'm only giving it to this stranger, not my own disciple."
When Su Dai heard these words, he knew that the youngster was purposefully saying it like that. Thus, he laughed and carefully handed over a portion of food to the youngster and said: "Disciple, you are bickering with me again. How could I miss a portion of your food?"
When the youth heard Su Dai's words, he immediately beamed with joy and directly said to Su Dai: "In the end, Master still dotes on me." With that, he sat down and started to eat.
Seeing the two of them in such harmony, Jing Ke couldn't help but feel a faint sense of envy in his heart. It was a pity that in the past, he and his teacher, Big Bang, had not even met each other a few times, and they were about to be separated by Yin and Yang.
"Young Hero, please take a seat." Once again, Su gestured for Jing Gou to take a seat and enjoy dinner with him and his disciple.
Jing Ke thought that since he could eat with these two in front of him, using this atmosphere would make up for his previous regrets. In addition, his stomach was also empty, so he respectfully accepted and sat down with them.
After Jing Ke sat down, Su Dai drank a cup of wine, then raised his eyes to look at Jing Ke in front of him, his gaze stopped at the item tied behind Jing Ke's back, and then slowly turned to Jing Ke and said: "Earlier, this old man saw that Young Hero had such an unrivalled sword, and knew that Young Hero was definitely not some ordinary person, thus I intentionally left these words behind. Now that you are able to solve the problem of the Wei Country by yourself, you have lived up to my expectations and this old one knows that you will definitely become a great person in the future. "
"Old Senior Su is too kind. Jing Ke is just a commoner in the city. The only reason why he was able to determine Sky Spill at Wei Daliang was because of the guidance of his companions."
Ke ke, you have praise but not self-satisfaction, achievements but not exclusive. Actually, Young Hero Jing can be considered one of the best today. My foster brother Su Li is able to persuade King Wei to temporarily cooperate. Su Dai saw that Jing Ke had the rare modesty and bearing of a young man, and couldn't help but praise him, and then he went back to the main topic.
"Doctor Su's diligent plan will be carried out sooner or later. Jing Ke will not dare to claim credit for his services. It is just that Jing Ke has been entrusted by the Crown Prince Dan, he has the responsibility of taking over the five kingdoms, and is afraid that he will be too weak to handle the situation alone. Luckily, Senior Doctor Su said that you are the direct disciple of Su Qin, if we were to discuss the plan, I would like to consult Senior.
"This old one knew that my sworn brother would definitely bring you here, but this old one is also an aged person and is not willing to participate in the affairs of the world. I only want to live a few carefree and unrestrained days by myself." When Su Dai said this, he felt slightly sorry for Jing Ke, so he once again picked up the wine on the table and drank a mouthful.
Jing Ke saw that the Su Dynasty had no intention of coming out to help, so he became a little anxious, and once again used a sincere tone to speak: "I heard that the Zong ancestor, Su Qin, was willing to study Mr. Gui Gu Zi's" Yin Fu "without any hesitation, and only then was he able to resist Qin. As the successor of the Su Qin ancestor, why should senior abandon the ambitions of the ancestor and give up on the grand aspiration of plotting the world? Furthermore, right now, Qiang Qin is the head of the Li Clan, and the Li Clan is in the midst of water and fire. If senior is not willing to help us, I'm afraid that the people will suffer greatly. "
After listening to Jing Ke's words, the kindness in Su Dai's eyes gradually disappeared, and his face turned serious. He was silent for a long time, and without saying a word, he picked up the wine bottle on the table, drank it all in one gulp, and only after putting down the wine bottle did he slowly say: "In the past, the founder painstakingly studied Mr. Gui Gu Zi's' Yin Talisman ', comprehended the essence behind it, and then relied on his tongue to fight against the outstanding heroes of the six kingdoms. How could it be unfathomable? First there was the suspicion of the Yan King, then there was the assassination of the Qi Kingdom, and finally they all fell to the ground. Even though I have received the inheritance of the ancestor, I would rather be obsessed with the wild and wild nature of the mountains than to ask about the matters of the imperial court. "
In the end, Su Dai's words still revealed the sorrow buried deep within his heart. That's right, how glorious was the famous sage Su Qin back then? In the end, he was unable to have a good end, as his descendant, how could he not feel sorrow and death? As the saying goes, grief is greater than death; so was the reluctance of the Soviet Union to come out of the mountains.
After listening to Su Dai's explanation, Jing Ke finally understood the pain in this old senior's heart. His own heart was filled with a sense of lament, but he had originally come to Su Dai for help, so he naturally would not give up because of this.
He followed Su Dai and picked up the wine bottle on the table. He raised his cup and said to Su Dai, "Su Qin's ancestor's experience truly makes this junior's heart hurt. This junior will drink this wine to honor the ancestor's spirit in heaven!" After he had finished speaking, he threw his head back to the sky and drained his cup in one gulp.
When he had finished drinking the wine, he calmed himself down for a long time, gathered his thoughts, and then said to Su Dai once again, "Although the Ancestral Founder did not end well, his name was passed down through the generations, just like my Mo Clan's Ancestral Founder, Mo Zou, who advocated the belief of loving and attacking together, even if he died, he will not regret it. His respected teacher, Big Dipper, was not afraid of the strong and fierce Qin. He was following the teachings of his ancestors and leading the sect to fight against the three hundred thousand tigers and wolves of the Qin. Even if my body is smashed into smithereens, the Righteous Qi will remain in this world forever! "
After hearing Jing Ke's words, he couldn't help but be a little stunned. He carefully sized Jing Ke up for a long time, and then said in a clear voice: "Little brother's words are indeed extraordinary, this old man is ashamed of himself, and indeed worthy of being a descendant of the Mo family. In fact, Mo Zhai's path of chivalry had always left this old man in awe. "Since you have spoken like this today, this old one will definitely not let you return empty-handed.
When Jing Ke heard that Su Dai's words were indeed a bit loose, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He cupped his fists over and over to Su Dai and said: "Thank you, Senior, for your help."
Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, Su Dai immediately raised his right hand and shook his head: "Otherwise, this old man would have passed his prime and would not be able to accomplish anything while discussing the matters of contending for glory in the world. So, there should be someone else who can help you today."
Jing Ke looked at Su Dai's actions and was immediately stunned. Could it be that this Old Senior Su Dai wanted him to find another expert? Thus, he had a look of bewilderment on his face as he asked, "What does Old Senior Su mean by this?"
Su Dai looked at Jing Ke's bewildered expression and only chuckled. He then pointed at the young student beside him who was eating and drinking and said, "The person who can help you is my disciple, Zhao Wuzi."
Zhao Wuzi? Upon hearing Su Dai's words, Jing Ke immediately and carefully sized up that little brother who was always at the side just now. He had a childish face, clearly still a child who wasn't weak at all. When Zhao Wutian saw Jing Ke attentively sizing him up, his mouth was still puffing as he asked, "Big Brother Jing, why are you staring at me instead of eating this mortal delicacy?"
Zhao Wuzi's words were obviously childish, but he actually helped him dominate the five kingdoms?
Jing Ke had a face of disbelief.
Su De seemed to see the suspicion on Jing Ke's face, and was about to open his mouth to explain to Jing Ke, when he heard someone shouting outside: "This big brother, how could he be framed by some scoundrels, he's obviously hiding here all by himself, if everyone doesn't believe him, they can come in and take a look!"
