Ambition of the Wind and Cloud

In a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, children are stretching their little feet and slapping the blue water, sitting on the shore and playing carefree.

Anyone who sees this place has to sigh with emotion that it is really a place loved by heaven.

The lake here is very clear, the upper part of the water head is dyed with a rich layer of sky blue, and the lower part gradually turns into azure blue. In the water, there are dry aquatic plants such as Spirogyra and charophyta flourishing, and there is also a layer of water under the water surface. Embedded with a touch of olive green, it is really intoxicating and unforgettable.

Occasionally there are fish passing by in the water, but the number is not many. A playful child went into the water to catch fish, and his companion yelled on the bank: "Go to the fairy lake to catch fish again. When your mother finds out, I will go to the lake again." It's time to annoy you."

The child turned his head with a smile: "No, as long as I don't tell you, and you don't tell me, who will know?"

"The old man is here! Everything you do has been seen by the old man!" His companion pouted towards the shore.

"Ah, old mister..." The child took a closer look, and sure enough, he saw a figure in Hanfu standing under a peach blossom tree in full bloom on the bank. Climbed up from the water and lowered his head.

No one knows when the old man came here, but most of the children here know that the old man did not come in with their ancestors, but came in later.This old man also knows a lot of things about the outside world, he has some skills, and he doesn't know how long he has lived. In the hearts of the local people, this old man is just like the old fairy in the legend.

"Old man, don't tell my parents that I caught fish in the fairy lake, okay?" The child looked at the old man pitifully.

The old man looked at the child's uneasy eyes and nodded slowly: "In the future, you can no longer enter the lake to fish. If you accidentally get entangled in the algae under the lake, who will save you?"

"No, I won't do it again, I promise!" The child immediately smiled when he heard that the old man promised to help him hide it.Seeing the old man being so talkative, all the children around felt that the old man was respectful but actually amiable, so they gathered around him and asked questions: "Old man, tell us something about the outside world, tell us... Yes, let’s talk about the Han Dynasty. I heard that the emperor of the Qin Dynasty was a monster with three heads and six arms. If he rushed over, he would knock down a lot of people. Can anyone really knock him down? Isn’t the person who knocked him down even more terrifying? ?”

"Mr., last time I heard you tell the patriarch that people in the Han Dynasty always like to fight with others. Is it the same for people outside? It's not like our place. Last time I fought with Xiaohu, I was spanked by my mother! "

"Old man, how big is the world outside? Is it as big as ours?"

"Sir..."

Listening to these naive and ignorant children's guesses about the outside world, the old man's eyes became distant and profound.Since he entered this place to avoid disaster, he really hasn't been out for a long time, and he doesn't know what the outside world is like now.

He touched the Han sword in his hand, and while talking to the children, his thoughts gradually fell into distant memories.

When he first succeeded to the throne, did he ever think that there would be a day like this?He never thought that he would inadvertently learn the shocking secrets of the upper world, and since then he has been involved in a series of unexpected disputes, with the cultivators who tried to seize the luck of this world as enemies, and the Tianmen who helped the tyrants. people fight.

In order to keep the secret books of the hundred schools and prevent those from the upper realm from winning them, he had to find ways to separate the way of governing the country from the way of martial arts, so that those martial arts secret books would be lost.In order to keep those pre-Qin treasures from the ambitious people who coveted them, he first took two longevity pills in a row, and then used secret methods to prolong his life.

Now, his family and country are gone, and he has to live alone guarding a side of jade.Counting it, he has lived through hundreds of years now. If he is not a person with a strong heart and has one thing in his heart all the time, he really doesn't know how he will get through it.

There was smoke rising in the village, and the children bounced back home. Only the old man was still leaning against the old peach tree, unchanged from ancient times, as if he had been forgotten in the annual rings of time.

On the second day, the village seemed to be extremely lively, and the old man was a little surprised, so he asked a child from the general manager passing by.The child smiled and said: "It's a visitor from the village! Except for the old man, there are already..." He counted on his fingers: "Well, it's been a long, long time since there were no visitors from outside. The patriarch is very happy My mother just slaughtered the newborn lamb of the family ewe, and said that it will be used to entertain distinguished guests!"

From outside, sir?

For some reason, upon hearing this, the old man had a very bad feeling.

The child tugged on the old man's sleeve, and stared at him with a pair of deer-like eyes: "Old man, do you want to go and have a look?"

The old man nodded. It would be fine if there were fishermen straying in, otherwise... I'm afraid this fairyland-like place will be stained with blood.

……

"Master, the subordinates have just inquired about it. Most of the ancestors here were ordinary people in the pre-Qin period. They don't know the whereabouts of He Shibi. Only a foreigner who broke into this place decades ago is quite suspicious."

Di Shitian glanced at him with a half-smile.Earlier, this subordinate said that he entered Taoyuan by mistake and learned about the purpose of He's Bi from the people of Taoyuan, but now he also said that the people in Taoyuan knew very little about He's Bi, so the inconsistency can be seen.

But at this moment, Di Shitian is more concerned about He Shibi's whereabouts than whether his subordinates have lied to him.After he found He's Bi, it would not be too late to take care of this disloyal subordinate.

"Outlander? Do you know where the outsider is now?" Di Shitian narrowed his eyes: "I say I have to pay a visit."

On the slender field path, someone was watering and fertilizing the field. Most of the people in Taoyuan had a rural atmosphere, with the exception of three people. At this moment, these three people met on the field path.

Almost in an instant, a murderous air permeated the three of them, to be precise, between the old man and Di Shitian.

Both of them were aggressive, forming an opposing trend to compete with each other. A strong wind blew through their robes, making their robes rattle.

A lot of crops in the field were torn apart in the aggressive confrontation between the two, and the woman who was plowing anxiously shouted: "Hey, stop! My seedlings have been ruined by you!"

Di Shitian turned a deaf ear to it, but the old man suddenly withdrew his momentum, with a single step, he jumped several feet away in a few breaths.
