stand back, let me come

Chapter 1308: Heritage of Our Ancestors (Part 1308) [Seeking a monthly pass]

In private relationships, Chu Yao has always been a soft-hearted person.

As long as it does not affect the master's ambitions, he will try his best to help his old friends. He waved his hand: "Why do we need to talk about this? I will do my best to help you in any way I can. As for your health, you may want to ask the doctor to take a look."

Chu Yao is a man who values ​​his promises.

Because of his own reasons, the engagement was invalid, but he could make up for it from other sources. How could he not agree to the request of his old friend? Chu Yao took off his personal token and asked the guard to take it to invite the doctor from Xinglin to come to the house, and then asked someone to clean the guest house.

The old friend was flattered by such kindness.

The pair of tiger eyes, full of vicissitudes of life, were filled with mist at some point.

He turned his back and blinked, then held back his tears, so as not to be rude in front of others: "Alas, I was also unkind to you back then."

I failed to help them in time of need back then, but now I am receiving their kindness.

Oh, it really makes him ashamed.

"When God wants to give a man a great responsibility, he must first make him suffer in heart and mind, and work hard on his muscles and bones... Tsk, if the destined hardships are all for a moment of light in the dark, it is actually worth it." Over the years, Chu Yao has long let go of the past, and there is no wave when he mentions that experience. Maybe his body actively faded the pain, or maybe he has cultivated his mind and is more resolute than before.

Nightmares no longer frightened him.

"This is my fate, how can I blame others?" Worried that his old friend had not yet eaten, he asked the chef to prepare wine and food, and then sent someone to pick him up from his temporary residence. When he was picked up, the doctor Xinglin had just finished his diagnosis, and the situation was not optimistic.

The doctor was putting away the pulse pillow. "The chronic disease is in the meridians of the Danfu, and it is an old injury. When he was young, he could suppress it with martial energy, but as he got older, the condition of his body muscles declined, and the hidden dangers were exposed. There are at least six kinds of martial energy entangled in the old gentleman's Danfu, and the foundation of the martial arts hall has collapsed, seriously reducing his life span. If it is not treated, the end will be in the next two months."

The old friend admired him very much.

He was able to recover quickly from injuries in his early years, and his activities and cultivation were not affected, so he naively thought that he was fine. It was not until he broke through a bottleneck, which was very dangerous, that he realized that there were so many hidden dangers. It was difficult to eradicate it, and it was delayed year after year until now, when his lifespan was about to run out. He was not surprised to hear that the deadline was in these two months, which was basically consistent with his judgment.

Seeing Chu Yao was about to say something, his old friend chuckled and said, "Don't be sad. I knew this day would come seven or eight years ago. My descendants are quite filial. The only thing I'm worried about is my troublesome great-granddaughter. Wu Hui has promised to take care of her for me. What regrets do I have? I'm over eighty years old. I've lived two or three lifetimes. That's enough."

How many people can live to be over eighty in troubled times?
As a brave warrior, his talent can be described as mediocre. When he was young, he was anxious and always on edge, worrying that he would die one day or die on the battlefield. Looking back now, how many geniuses of the same period died before him?
As for enemies?
Not to mention the weeds on the graves, there are very few graves left.

Chu Yao said: "Why be pessimistic? Why not listen to the doctor's advice?"

The old friend choked.

As a special profession that has only appeared in recent years, the two biggest characteristics of the medical practitioner are rarity and mystery.

The old friend had lived in seclusion for many years. As a commoner, he was only slightly better off than ordinary people and had no contact with doctors from the Xinglin area. He had only heard about how powerful the doctors from the Xinglin area were, but he had no idea how powerful they were, and he had never thought that the doctors from the Xinglin area could cure his stubborn illness.

Doctor Xinglin: "My medical skills are not very good, and I am not sure that I can completely cure this stubborn disease at the moment, but it is not difficult to remove the strange martial energy in the Danfu, and with the help of soup and medicine to nourish the essence and strengthen the foundation, as long as the old man does not casually fight with others and damage his meridians, he can at least extend his life by seven or eight years. During this period, the old man's cultivation will make a breakthrough, or my medical skills will be improved, and then I can cure it completely."

Stay alive first, your medical skills and strength will always improve.

As long as there is a breakthrough, living to be a hundred years old would be within reach.

The old friend was so ecstatic that he was almost speechless.

This situation did not last long.

He was a veteran who had experienced many battles and had seen many storms. He gritted his teeth and suppressed his joy. He used all his life's cultivation to calm down and said to Chu Yao and the doctor Xinglin with tears in his eyes, "I have no way to repay you for saving my life. Please accept my gift!"

As he said this, he stood up and bowed deeply.

The two of them naturally didn't accept it: "What are you doing?"

To Chu Yao, old friends are extremely rare.

Isn't it a relief for him that his old friend is alive and well?
And will try new tea with new fire.

Poetry and wine take advantage of their time.

The great-granddaughter had a reliable support, and his life span was extended from two months to seven or eight years. The haze that weighed on his old friend's heart was swept away by an invisible breeze. He only felt that the sky was clear, the sun was bright, the wind was gentle, and even the air was filled with a sweet fragrance.

When you are in a good mood, your mind will naturally be open.

The guard came in and reported that the distinguished guest had been picked up.

The old friend was overjoyed and said, "Wu Hui, come and see my baby."

After saying that, he suddenly remembered something, and his smile became a little more mysterious: "Don't be too surprised when you see someone."

This aroused Chu Yao's curiosity.

He had seen countless people of all kinds over the years, and no matter how beautiful or ugly, fat or thin, in his eyes, they were just a skeleton wrapped in a skin, nothing special. What was so special about his old friend's great-granddaughter that could make him so surprised? Until he saw her.

"Come, meet your uncle Chu."

In the Northern Desert battlefield, his son was his deputy general and the first person to know Chu Yao. The two were friends of the same generation. After that, he met Chu Yao and immediately fell in love with this friend regardless of age difference.

The father and son had different opinions on their relationship with Chu Yao. The great-granddaughter could call Chu Yao uncle or great-uncle. When the old friend was in a good mood, he wanted to take advantage of Chu Yao and make him a generation shorter...

Chu Yao's young and handsome face is not suitable to be called too old.

Even so, Chu Yao was stuck for a moment.

Uncle, this is the highest generation he has ever heard of.

When the girl turned around, Chu Yao felt that she looked familiar and forgot how to respond for a moment: "Your great-granddaughter, you look familiar."

The young girl also bowed and said, "My dear uncle, I am honored to meet you."

The old friend took his great-granddaughter's hand and said, "Take another closer look?"

Chu Yao carefully identified her a few more times: "She..."

The old friend knew he recognized her at first sight and said with emotion: "This child has the legacy of her grandparents."

He can be considered an old friend of Chu Yao.

Back then, there were three heroes in the Chu State.

Except for Chu Yao, the other two all had tragic endings. Some were exterminated, some had their homes confiscated, and their surviving descendants were exiled to foreign countries, with no one knowing whether they were dead or alive. Perhaps it was fate that he met the descendant of one of them and she married his grandson.

However, he suffered too much during his exile, and his health was seriously depleted. He passed away not long after giving birth to his daughter, and his grandson also died two years later due to illness caused by worry. The great-granddaughter was left without a father or mother, and the clan members were also in a difficult situation, so the old friend was soft-hearted and raised the child with him.

The child is precocious and has excellent understanding.

If she had not been trapped in the body of a girl, she might have been a gifted child of heaven with a second-class upper-level literary mind. But too much wisdom will hurt, and people who are too smart will easily be exhausted and lose their energy and blood. The old friend actually hoped that she could be a little duller and less sensitive to the harm from the outside world.

If you don't feel pain, it won't be too painful.

Ignorance is sometimes bliss.

Chu Yao motioned the girl to come forward, raised his hand and touched her wrist bone, condensing a wisp of literary energy at his fingertips: "Do you feel anything?"

The girl nodded: "Yes."

"Her bone age is so high that people with ordinary talents can't sense it. She actually still has it. What a pity. If she had grown up a few years earlier..." Judging from the style of her hair, the girl has already reached the age of marriage. Her bone age shows that she is 19 years old. She has wasted too much talent at this age. If she could have started practicing at the best time, she might have really been a second-grade upper-middle talent. Now we can only make up for it. The old friend said, "I delayed her."

There is a lack of information from the public. Although Shen Tang in the northwest has made a great fuss, led his troops to the southwest, and is now trying to occupy the entire territory, the lowest level actually doesn't know much. He is really in seclusion, and the news in the market is lagging behind. He knows it as late as possible. Even Chu Yao's reappearance was only mentioned by a friend who happened to visit him. He didn't know until he heard Chu Yao's words. It's understandable that he regretted it. The girl herself was the calmest person on the scene.

She said, "Why should Great Grandfather blame himself? Everyone has his own destiny. It is better to be born at the right time than at the wrong time. When I heard that Minister Kangguo became famous, she had been married for many years and had a daughter. Wasn't she older than me? It is never too late."

Chu Yao smiled generously: "That's exactly the truth."

The state of mind and understanding are the most important on the path of cultivation.

The girl looked very insightful.

One moment of enlightenment is worth more than ten years of hard practice for others.

It’s never too late, the worst thing is not even starting.

The old friend sighed deeply, not quite able to let it go.

Chu Yao's satisfaction with his great-granddaughter gave him peace of mind, at least it was a good start. There were some things he wanted to tell Chu Yao in advance, so that Chu Yao would not be deceived by his great-granddaughter's pure and kind appearance, so he emphasized that she had some of the traditions of her ancestors.

This "legacy" does not refer to talent.

To put it simply, it is somewhat immoral.

Chu Yao: "..."

The old friend said with embarrassment: "If she is lucky enough to receive your guidance in the future, please let her practice her mind more. I don't know if it's because she has lived in seclusion for many years and followed an old man like me, that her human nature is a little different from that of ordinary people, it's really..."

"Different from ordinary people?"

"A while ago, I persuaded an old woman to divide up the bodies of her children."

Chu Yao: “???”

It sounds scary at first, but very familiar at second.

Isn't this the fuse of the recent turmoil?

Chu Yao asked: "What's your idea?"

The girl smiled and said, "What do you think, uncle?"

Chu Yao did not comment: "How did you come up with that?"

“Don’t bet that people are good, but bet that people are evil.”

"It really is a legacy from our ancestors."

The young girl shook her head and said, "If I were them, I would never end up being torn apart by five horses on the execution ground. If my ancestors really believed that people are all evil, how could they have truly trusted a cowardly, foolish, mean and ungrateful lord? If they were really on guard, they would not have been captured. Such a talent and talent was ruined in the hands of the enemy. It is not worth dying."

Knowing that the situation is wrong but still insisting on one's own opinion is foolish loyalty.

It is foolish to bring trouble to the whole family because of a mediocre ruler.

Her great-grandfather always said that she inherited the traditions of her ancestors, but after getting to know her more deeply, she felt that the evaluation was untrue and even thought that her great-grandfather was joking.

The girl's words were not pleasing to the eye. For Chu Yao, an old friend who knew her ancestors, it would not win her any favor, and might even make her lose his favor. She knew this but still had to tell the truth.

Chu Yao's reaction was beyond the girl's expectations.

"Those involved are confused, but those who are watching can see clearly. The chess player can see the whole picture, while the chess pieces trapped in the game can only see one side." Chu Yao sighed, "This is the first reason. The second reason is that you think too much of the scholars. Even if they are upper-rank scholars, they are just common people with some tricks. Facing a royal court, even a small one, they cannot resist."

I can see it clearly but I can't escape it.

Those weirdos in Kangguo are heretics.

"The third is that it is hard to leave your hometown. Although Chu is small, it is also your hometown. You were born and raised in a foreign country, so you naturally don't understand the significance of Chu to your ancestors. Some people choose the right tree to inhabit, while others stubbornly want to save the collapsing building, and they have no regrets even if they die in vain."

To such people, life is the least valuable.

You can disagree, but you can't say it's wrong.

Chu Yao could understand.

If Kangguo also reached that point, he would be willing to die for his country.

There was a daze in the girl's eyes.

Chu Yao said gently: "Don't think too much, it's all in the past."

"Are you hungry after the long journey? The east kitchen has prepared the food, let's eat first." Chu Yao did not expect that the person who gave the suggestion would be the descendant of an old friend. There was no urgency, so he planned to talk to his master about it tomorrow. When he sat down, the guards brought in a few large boxes.

There are some specialties in the box.

Most of them are not very expensive, but they are obviously made with great care.

Chu Yao patted his forehead and said, "Look at my memory."

He almost forgot that he had a disciple named Tu Rong, who was a good match for the girl in age, and he treated him as a half-son, and he could also fulfill his engagement with his friend. But he didn't plan to mention it directly, as the marriage of children still depends on fate. His two half-disciples, Tu Rong, Lin Feng and Yu Zi, except for Yu Zi who made some progress but died halfway, the other two were obviously not very smart.

It depends on fate.

Based on his years of single life, he thought that single life with children was indeed comfortable. Just as he was thinking about it, his half-grown son came with his friends. As soon as they arrived at the door, a loud voice was heard in the hall: "Teacher, look what I brought you?"

Chu Yao said to his old friend, "It's my disciple Xianrong."

The old friend's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Disciple?"

He was obviously tempted.

The girl was indifferent to this.

When the young man came in, the old friend's eyes lit up even brighter, and his face almost showed "This is the son-in-law of my dream great-grandson"!
Ignoring the person following behind the young man.

Chu Yao noticed him at a glance and stood up to greet him.

"Why is the Marquis here?"

The old friend was puzzled and tried to recall who this person was from Kangguo.

Kangguo has been established for many years, but the number of people with titles can be counted on one hand, forgetting that the other party's "Marquis" may be due to his own strength. Gongyang Yongye said: "Examine your apprentice."

Chu Yao: "..."

No, isn’t Gongyang Yongye’s medical skills specialized in men’s health?
