fourth rebirth

Chi Zhe shook his head firmly, stretched out a finger and pushed the booklet further, "No, I don't have that kind of resistance."

Without resistance to temptation, one never approaches that temptation.

Chi Ran raised his eyebrows and laughed, "Well said." Throwing a packaged snack in front of his younger brother, "I'll give it to you."

Chi Zhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry, this snack was originally for him to use, what's wrong with his sister.

He didn't know that Chi Ran was really happy.

It is a kind of extremely powerful self-control to be able to quit drugs by one's own willpower.

But with self-knowledge, he never gets close to drugs, even if others talk about it, the temptation is right in front of him.Isn't this another kind of powerful self-control?

Knowing that you can't do it but do it, there is no conclusion whether it is stupid or brave.However, if you know what you can't do and don't do it, why not be brave?

Nibbling on the snack in his hand, Chi Ran continued the topic, "Later, some people practiced this book intermittently, but there were not many of them, and none of them succeeded. Until that person appeared.

"That one is like you, although he was born in Shilu Shiqing's family, he is absolutely weird in some respects." After receiving Chi Zhe's blank stare, Chi Ran smiled, "He has an extremely weird attachment to the theory of longevity. , but I can't even pass the first level of comprehension."

"It would be fine if he was half-hearted, but he is a man with a tough heart. So he held that booklet and studied it day and night. Finally, three years later, a book appeared on the booklet that he held in his arms day and night and stuck to his chest. Method."

"One," Chi Ran thought about his choice of words, "some demonic methods. At that time, the age of his life had passed too long from the era when the martial artist was prosperous. In the words of Taoism, the aura is thin. Even if he has understanding Talented, in fact, can not go too far."

"But he has talent but no understanding, so by coincidence, it really fulfills his intention of longevity."

"Humans are the primates of all things." Chi Ran's voice was very soft, a little erratic, "Irrigate with human essence and blood, so naturally there is no need for understanding."

"He, him?" Chi Zhe's eyes widened.This kind of plot is so familiar, the standard devil image in martial arts TV dramas.

"The Qiao family was at its peak at that time. As the young master of the family, it was really not a big deal for him to ask for a few death row prisoners and kill a few servants. So," Chi Ran shrugged, "he succeeded."

"Then, how long did he live?" Chi Zhe couldn't restrain his curiosity about this kind of thing.

"I don't know," Chi Ran shook his head, "No one knows either. I just roughly understand that he is very powerful." She stretched out her hand and pointed around, "He built this cave."

"...Oh, then he's pretty good." Chi Zhe overturned the image of the devil in his mind, and established a fan-sucking villain who regards life like grass shoes, but values ​​family and family.

"Well, it's pretty good." Chi Ran hooked the corners of his mouth, and the smile didn't reach his eyes, "After he killed his own parents and brothers, he killed half of the family with his own hands, and forced the rest to death. After leaving behind his little daughter who is only nine years old, he has been very kind to the Qiao family."

"...Why did he do this?" Chi Zhe was surprised.

"I don't know," Chi Ran said indifferently, "I know the ones in front, because in order to warn future generations, the life of every Qiao family member in the practice fruit book will be recorded. But he, the main family of Qiao's family, was only alive at that time. It's a nine-year-old girl, how can she remember his life?"

"However, although people didn't understand it at the beginning, but now it seems that it is probably," Chi Ran sneered, "the price. The price of his success."

"I also want to thank him for leaving that girl behind. It's like leaving a root for the Qiao family." Chi Ran's expression was calm again. She no longer had so many thoughts of hurting the spring and autumn from the stories she had heard a long time ago. .She told these stories just to expand the knowledge of her younger brother, so as not to be fooled by others in the future.By the way, give him a few people to set an example.

"That girl is his youngest daughter. She is an old girl, and she has been pampered since she was a child. Because of her appearance, she was engaged in marriage early, and was pampered and raised by her family, Mr. Xiaolang."

"Probably in her most terrifying dream, such a situation never happened." Chi Ran's eyes flashed with admiration.It is admirable for a child who has been trained since childhood to be able to survive such a situation.But it is even more amazing that a child who grew up pampered like her can survive and not forget the family.

"No one knows how she spent those years, and no one knows how she brought the Qiao family, which had been regarded as a third-rate family at that time, back to the first-class. Her father left her all the relics of the Qiao family And this treasury, that’s all that’s left for her. She’s incredibly rich, but she’s so poor that she doesn’t get any help.”

"She didn't leave a single word to describe her life, only her three sons barely made up the truth from history."

"She is not the ancestor of the Qiao family, but she is recognized by the family as the founder of the current Qiao family."

"Before this, no one could have imagined that the kind and weak girl who was pampered and grown up would become such a person." Chi Ran looked at his younger brother with meaningful eyes.

Chi Zhe didn't notice, he was still immersed in that period of history, "Yes."

"So, Chi Zhe," Chi Ran changed the subject, showing a smile with eight snow-white teeth, "You will also become the same person as her in the eyes of others."

"..." Chi Zhe looked back at his sister with a mixture of horror and foolish eyes.

Chi Ran was not affected at all, with his fingers facing each other, he said with a faint smile, "Chi Zhe, there is almost no difference between us and her."

Before Chi Zhe could ask, she brought up the next topic, "A few days ago, my father was promoted, do you remember?"

"Yeah." Chi Zhe nodded suspiciously.In fact, according to the trajectory of his past life in his memory, Chi Yiqing's promotion speed in this life is already slow.

"Father applied for the transfer order himself, and grandpa helped. The day after it was approved, father took mother to Liangzhou." She looked at Chi Zhe, with a smile still on the corner of her mouth, but the smile looked like mask.

"That's good," Chi Zhe frowned, looking at Chi Ran suspiciously, he didn't understand what she meant.But as Chi Yiqing was promoted step by step, he also had some preliminary understanding of those positions, so he asked, "However, why did he go there? Isn't it usually promoted directly in the province?"

"Father pushed the quota for direct promotion," Chi Ran's tone was still so flat, only the bitter smile revealed her heart, "His road...has come to an end."

"Why?! How is it possible?" Chi Zhe suddenly straightened his body, his face full of disbelief.Chi Yiqing's power is what he has learned in his previous life.In the previous life, 7 years later, Chi Yiqing stepped on countless people to the position where one person was below one person and above ten thousand people.

He doesn't have many images of Liangzhou, and what he can extract in his mind is probably mixed, multi-national, multi-ethnic and other words.

Maybe the situation there is extremely difficult, but he doesn't believe that Chi Yiqing doesn't even have the ability to deal with such things.

After all, governing a state is still too far from that position.

"It's not a question of ability," Chi Ran saw his brother's thoughts at a glance, "It's the position there."

She finally suppressed that too false smile, "Even now, there are still many people in the family who call it barbarians. In their eyes, if you get along well with barbarians, it is a suspicion of collusion between you and them. It’s not good, it’s just so incompetent that even the barbarians can’t deal with it.”

"Is there only aristocratic families in Kyoto?" Chi Zhe was puzzled.

"It's the same," Chi Ran's voice was very soft, as if he was sighing, "Something becomes a habit and a rule after a long time, and it also has the power to make others dare not violate it. This It can be regarded as an unspoken rule in Kyoto, if someone who has the ability and voluntarily gives up his future because of some things will go there."

"For... us?" Chi Zhe asked after being stunned for a moment.

"Yeah." Such a simple answer seemed to have exhausted Chi Ran's remaining strength. She supported her forehead with one hand, twisted her heart, and swallowed them piece by piece. While chewing, she calmly pointed out the facts, " Our identities are too embarrassing."

"The Qiao family's lineage seems noble, but it has no help for us, and it is even easier to be excluded."

"In Chi's family, our uncle is also a capable person. His two sons also passed the scientific examination last year. Grandpa doesn't need to put his energy and influence on nurturing the son who was removed from the list. He has never been with us two. On the grandchildren who have met."

"What's more," Chi Ran lowered his eyes, explaining the deliberately hidden rules in straightforward words, "Have you heard the story of 'using the spear of the son to attack the shield of the son'. This is actually common everywhere. "

"If there are two people in the same family who are developing in the same field, and both are determined to forge ahead, how should the family choose? And if someone designs to make these two people enemies, how should they solve it?"

"That's why, usually, many children in the family will enter the officialdom, and then select the most potential ones for concentrated investment, and put the others in the spare tire position."

"Father," she smiled wryly, "he acted too aggressively."

"Transfer is just the first step." She put down the snack she had been holding for a long time and didn't eat it, and the figure of the person who seemed to be always proud appeared in front of her eyes, "Aside from this, what should my father do? An agreement was reached."

"So, he returned to the Chi family. Therefore, we don't have to worry about our position anymore. The Chi family will stand behind us."

"...Why?" Apart from this sentence, Chi Zhe didn't know what else to say.He only saw the glory of that man, but never knew the scars on his back.

Such a proud person, such an ambitious person, just put himself in a spare tire, a position that may never be used.Even... If they don't live up to their expectations, he will become a spare tire for those two cousins, his nephew.

How could he bear it, how could he bear this.

He should always stand aloft and look down on everyone indifferently like a god's mansion.

Chi Zhe suddenly felt a sore nose.

"For us." After saying those words, Chi Ran's expression returned to normal. She glanced at Chi Zhe lightly, "Guan Qi hasn't contacted you recently, has he?"

"Ah."
