"I didn't want to tell you my name," the old man continued,"for fear that you would be killed before you could master martial arts." However, with your temperament, even if you don't tell me, you can't hide it for long.”As he spoke, the old man looked at the sky, immersed in his memories.
After a long time.
The old man continued," Thirty years ago, I was at the peak of this mountain. I was besieged by mysterious experts. I was no match for them and was thrown into a bottomless abyss. Fortunately, this old man was not destined to die. At the moment of life and death, I gathered my remaining zhenqi and grabbed the bushes by the cliff to slow down the descent and land here. He was in a coma for three days and three nights before he slowly woke up. He endured immense pain and only walked freely after two years. According to the sect's mental cultivation method, it took seven years to recover two levels of strength.”
As he said this, the old man recalled the hatred he had for the heavens and the sea in the past. All kinds of emotions were mixed, and his eyes were filled with tears. His heroic spirit was short of breath, as if it was a lifetime ago.
The young man couldn't help but be affected, and a hint of sadness flashed across his eyes.
When the old man saw this, he said in a deep voice," Child, don't be sad. A real man's ambition is to live in the four seas. What joy is there in life? What fear is there in death?!"”
Hearing this, the young man gradually calmed down, and his expression gradually calmed down.
" It's been another seven years," the old man said." No matter how I circulate my Qi, I can't make any progress. He secretly checked the eight extraordinary meridians. Two meridians were broken and three meridians were blocked. It was wishful thinking to recover his previous strength. This old man's heart was filled with hatred. Regardless of being recognized, I risked my life to come out of the mountain and hide my tracks. I traveled all over the country to find someone who could inherit my mantle. Heaven does not disappoint those who suffer. I finally found you abandoned in the grass after a dispute between Jianghu people. I saw that your root bone was excellent and difficult to find in the world. Only a person with such excellent root bone like you appeared in thousands of years.”
The old man took a breath and said," I was overjoyed. I forced myself to suppress my joy. I traveled day and night and went through many hardships to bring you back here. I've lived here for sixteen years!”Finished talking, the old man was filled with emotions and could not help but sigh.
"So you don't know who my parents are, do you?" the young man asked.”
"Haha! Kid, you finally spoke! All these years, you've been silent, intelligent, and determined. Although you've been silent, I like you even more. Those who achieve great things must endure what others can't endure and what others can't do. Only then can they stand out!”
The old man continued," That day, I was watching the battle from a distance. I only heard someone talking and vaguely heard something like 'Gong'. As my power had not recovered yet, I did not dare to go forward to listen. Therefore, I did not listen carefully.”
After the old man finished speaking, he slowly walked into the cave.
A moment later, the old man took out a package and slowly opened it in front of the young man.
He took out a dark green jade pendant and said to the youth,""Child, there is a word carved on this jade pendant. It is very likely that it is your surname. All these years, this old man has been hiding it. It is not that I don't want you to know, but in that dispute back then, everyone present died, and there are no other clues to prove your identity. Sigh! The world is unpredictable, fate is playing tricks on people!"
The young man's eyes flashed when he saw this. He took the jade pendant and held it tightly in his hand."No matter who killed my parents in this life, you have to pay the price.”
After thinking about it, the young man shot out a vicious gaze. It was fierce and domineering, as cold as frost, staring straight at the old man.
The old man's face was gentle as he stroked the youth's head and said lovingly,""Child, don't be sad. No matter how long parents live, they will die one day. They only hated the fact that the Jianghu was full of deception, that they were united on the surface but separated on the inside, that they fought each other to the death, and that they were constantly scheming. They were mentally exhausted when they were alive, and they were often buried in the wilderness when they died!”
The young man did not say anything else. He just looked at the jade pendant silently. He thought to himself, Zhao…is a good surname, and it's a big one. It's very difficult to find out his background just based on this surname!”
Thinking of this young man, he sighed. I'll slowly think of a way after I forget about my background! Let everything in his previous life go with the wind! It's not a good thing to be too stubborn. I'll be called Zhao Yi from now on. I hope I can live freely in this life.”
Looking at the jade pendant in his hand, Zhao Yi's heart gradually changed. He was no longer confused, nor was he incompatible with this world.
The old man looked at the young man's expression and was delighted. He smiled and said,"This jade pendant was hanging around your neck at that time. If this old man's guess is correct, it should be your surname.”
Zhao Yi was silent for a long time. A look of determination gradually appeared in his eyes. He looked up at the sky and roared,"Zhao, my name will be Zhao Yi from now on. No matter who killed my parents, I will find them and kill anyone who stands in my way!”
As he spoke, Zhao Yi's eyes were filled with killing intent, causing one to shiver. Everything in the surroundings was affected by the murderous aura. It was abnormally cold and chilly.
The old man was shocked. Zhao Yi's killing intent was much stronger than his.
Although the hatred in the old man's heart had decreased a lot over the years, he was still attracted by Zhao Yi's cold and ruthless aura and felt his heart tremble.
Seeing Zhao Yi's expression, the old man pondered for a long time and said gently,""Child, this old man knows that I won't be living for long. If I can get the innate energy to guide and block my meridians, I can still struggle at death's door for a while. However, your power is limited and this old man's time is coming.”
"Child, my name is Shui Ruohan." When I first came out of the pugilistic world eighty years ago, I was invincible with my Blazing Nine Suns Big Dipper Palm, Soul Stealing Finger, and Ethereal Lightness Skill. Countless pugilistic world figures were killed or injured by me.”
Speaking of these past events, Shui Ruohan's heart was filled with emotions. After a long time, she said,""It's also this old man's youthful vigor, bravery, and ruthlessness that caused me to make countless enemies and attract the attacks of my enemies. Because I was careless, I was heavily injured and was trapped at the top of this mountain. Fortunately, he landed halfway up the mountain and hid in the cave. The enemies searched everywhere but to no avail, so they slowly dispersed!”
"After I found you, I saw that this mountain was tall and steep. Spiritual birds flew over and often disappeared at the top of the mountain. I searched the entire mountain and finally found the thousand-year-old Vermilion Fruit that martial artists dream of. Ordinary people eat this red fruit, can live a long life; People who practice martial arts can take it and advance thousands of miles a day. Their martial arts can be refined and reborn. However, it's no longer of any use to me!"
As she spoke, Shui Ruohan looked into the distance and said leisurely,""Today, I see that your canopy is full, your qi is full, and your Nine Yang Stellar Energy has reached the fifth layer. It was time to break through the limit and connect the bridge between heaven and earth. Later, you can eat this Vermilion Fruit and sit on the cold stone at the bottom of the mountain. Concentrate on circulating your cultivation. Don't be distracted. Otherwise, the Yang Fire will burn your body and your life will be in danger. Remember!”
"Go!" After saying that, Shui Ruohan passed an ice-cold iron box to Zhao Yi and gestured for him to do as he was told.
When Zhao Yi walked a few feet away, Shui Ruohan called out,""Yi 'er, if you break through the Hidden Latch of Life and Death, connect the Celestial Bridge, and come here, I will teach you other martial arts!”
After saying that, he looked at Zhao Yi's back with anticipation and slowly walked into the cave.
