Orion's Daughter-in-Law [Xiu Xian]

Duan Qishan and Duan Zixu heard the words, they both looked at Duan Ziqian in silence, saw that he said he was going to take a beauty sleep, but he didn't act like he was going to sleep at all, he was jumping on the bed, happily Twisting his little butt, holding a bronze mirror in his hand, sighing while looking at it.

That look is narcissistic to the extreme.

And Duan Ziqian seemed to be aware that someone was staring at him, so he turned his head too, raised his eyebrows very enchantingly, and said, "I know you all admire my beauty, but it's useless, it's innate, that word is What's the matter, born upright... You can't envy me."

That word is called natural beauty.

Duan Zixu and Duan Qishan twitched their mouths and began to complain.

Duan Zixu didn't bother to talk about this man's madness, he turned his head expressionlessly, looked at the tea on the table, and seemed to be counting the tea leaves in it seriously.

But Duan Qishan rolled his eyes a little stiffly, returned to the topic, and said: "It's probably like this."

Hearing this, Duan Zixu frowned and said, "Father means that mother did not die, but left by herself..."

He muttered the word "Leave" with an uneasy expression on his face. Duan Qishan naturally saw that he was unhappy, so he shrugged and pretended to be indifferent and explained: "Actually, it may be your mother, Yu'er has something to do again. , so I left."

Duan Qishan said so, but he was still disappointed in his heart. He had forgotten many things about Yu'er in these years, and he didn't dare to think about it.

Duan Qishan also wanted to ask Yu'er, why did she leave?Why do you look at him like an ant?

Seeing that Duan Qishan fell silent, Duan Zixu thought for a while, and then suggested: "Then we can go find mother!"

His tone was very natural, but to Duan Qishan's ears, it was very unreliable.

After all, he didn't even know Yu'er's real name, so how could he find him in the vast crowd.

Besides, according to his previous guess, Yu'er should not be from the Great Qi Dynasty, because Yu'er's ability and coercion as strong as a mountain alone are not something ordinary people can have.

It looked very similar to the immortal skills he had seen under the Qishan cliff.

Duan Qishan once left Duanjia Village with the purpose of searching for immortals. He has been away for more than 20 years. He has also heard many stories about immortals, but most of them are not very reliable.

Ordinary people want to seek immortality, one is to find a beautiful mountain range, and seek epiphany without eating or drinking.

When Duan Qishan heard about this for the first time, he felt that it was very unreliable.

Sure enough, he also saw many people who took this road of cultivating immortality, starved to death in the mountains, and more people were discouraged, and regarded the matter of immortality as a sweet dream when they were young. into the lives of mortals.

Speaking of it, among so many books about cultivating immortals and immortals, only the books of the imperial palace are the most trustworthy.

Back then, he assisted the current emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty, and suppressed courtiers for the teenage little emperor. In the eyes of the little emperor, he was also an extremely trusted minister, so like the Royal Library, most people don't Where he is allowed to enter, he is also qualified to enter.

And here, he collected some information about mortals looking for immortals.

There are two highly reliable ways to seek immortality mentioned above.

The first one is to start from the capital and go west along the way, passing through the twelve barbarian tribes, to the extreme west of the mainland, and here is the endless, vast and endless desert area, known as the ""on the mainland"" Devil's Land", "Dead Land".

Once in the pre-Qin period, the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty who unified the six countries at that time sent many people to search for the road to immortality.

People have walked this road, but no one came back alive.

The other road is also in the same situation as this road. There are many people going there, but no one survives.

And this road is very famous in the records, that is, the story of Xu Fuyuan crossing the ocean to find Penglai Xiandao, which is very well-known among the people.

Duan Qishan pondered for a long time at the beginning, but as he got older and saw the miserable life of the people, he gave up the idea of ​​seeking immortals.

However, during the Southern and Northern Wars, every time he encountered a water battle, he would pay special attention to the issue of ships and wind direction. It seemed that the idea of ​​the year still had roots in his heart, and he subconsciously collected it. How to cross the ocean.

Duan Qishan thought of this, came back to his senses, and realized that Duan Zixu had been staring at him for a long time.

Duan Qishan was a little embarrassed, coughed a few times, and said, "Xu'er, what's wrong?"

Duan Zixu looked at him very seriously, and said, "Daddy, I didn't tell you one thing before, not because I wanted to hide it from you, but because I didn't know how to say it."

While talking, he studied the expression on Duan Qishan's face, but saw that Duan Qishan didn't even move his eyebrows, so he said a little discouraged: "Daddy, let me play the role of an outsider..."

When Duan Qishan heard this, he almost choked to death on his own saliva.

Fortunately, he's used to it, really.

Duan Ziqian didn't say anything, that little guy could say anything.

And Duan Zixu's temperament also has this tendency, but it's not very obvious, but it will happen from time to time, and Duan Qishan is caught off guard.

Duan Qishan raised his hand helplessly, patted Duan Zixu's head, and said, "Okay, it's Daddy's fault, but Daddy is really curious, what are you hiding from me?"

Only then did Duan Zixu raise his chin in satisfaction. Although this movement was not obvious, it could be seen that he was in the same line as Duan Ziqian.

I just heard Duan Zixu say: "Father, when I was burning, I could vaguely see some strange things that appeared in my mind inexplicably. I can't remember all of them, but I remember some of them."

He wrinkled his nose, asked an irrelevant question, and said, "Daddy, is there really a Fuxi who has the body of a dragon and speaks people's words?"

Duan Qishan doesn't know why he asked this question, but Fuxi and Nuwa are the traditional myths of the Great Qi Dynasty, and they have been passed down on this road for countless years. He once told the story of the two little guys when they were young. There have been stories about Fuxi and Nuwa, but why did Duan Zixu mention Fuxi?

Duan Qishan couldn't figure it out, but he only thought that Duan Zixu was just thinking wildly, so he didn't ask any more questions, and just answered honestly: "No, this is just a fairy tale. The story of the mouth has been passed down from generation to generation, but in fact there is no such creature."

Hearing this, Duan Zixu pursed his lips in disbelief and said: "Then my brother and I looked like that before, I thought there must be Fuxi, and I also thought that my horns, skin, and tail before were all It’s a bit similar to Fuxi. Maybe Daddy, you are a descendant of Fuxi, so my brother and I look very strange, and are very smart. I’ve seen children in the village who are still wetting the bed at this age... ..."

Hearing this, Duan Qishan said dumbfoundedly: "You are thinking about writing something in your head. Although I am born with supernatural powers, that's all. I don't have the body of a dragon, at most I have a human head. That's all... you still don't know what to do. What do you want to ask? If there is nothing wrong, go to sleep. I have been ill for a long time, and although I see that I am getting better, I am weak after all, so I will go to rest and replenish my vitality."

When Duan Zixu heard this, he became even more unconvinced, but he also knew that his father had made a decision, and no one could change it.

So, he chose to keep this matter in his heart, planning to think about it later.

He caught a glimpse of Duan Qishan stretching out of the corner of his eye, and hurriedly asked, "Father, is there a surname 'Shentu' in this world?"

Duan Qishan tilted his head, thought for a while, and said, "I remember it. It is said that it came from the pre-Qin period. People at that time took the country name "Shen" and the place name "Tu" as their surnames, so there was The surname 'Shentu', but the compound surname Shentu is extremely rare in the Daqi Dynasty, and I have never seen anyone with the surname Shentu."

After recalling it, he asked, "Why do you ask that? Did you see what was written? Could it be a dream?"

Duan Zixu was so pouted that he could hang the oil pot, but he was serious, and actually said with a smirk: "Oh, maybe, I just vaguely knew that my mother's surname was Shentu, but what Daddy said was right. Maybe I'm dreaming! Daddy, I'm sleepy, I'm going to bed."

Duan Qishan was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

When the steady breathing of Duan Zixu and Duan Ziqian resounded in the silent night, he carefully chewed a word: "Shentu... Yu'er..."
