As if he was electrocuted, Yan Li hurriedly retracted his hand and examined his fingertips. He discovered that there were no changes, and the qi in his origin sea did not move at all. It was as if he could really play the Primordial Lost Sound.
One had to know that the reason he could play it last time was because he was too familiar with the structure of the zither. Coupled with the activation of his cultivation, he could barely play a note. The principle was similar to Ji Polu using his cultivation to force Gu Se to make a sound.
However, the melody that flowed like water just now was more than one note. If he had to use his cultivation to activate it, he would at least need to be imbued to be able to play a complete section like that.
He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly tore open his sleeve. That mysterious imprint was indeed emitting a faint divine light.
Could it be related to this?
The faint divine light on the imprint disappeared not long after his hand left the Primordial Lost Sound.
He frowned slightly. It was hard to say whether this was a blessing or a curse.
He left the plaza and strolled to a courtyard.
This courtyard was practically a small world, one that belonged to Yuan Fushun.
The courtyard had about three entrances, and lived a large family of more than twenty people.
After staying in Parting Hatred Palace for a long time, Yan Li knew that Yuan Fushun had already married and had children. Moreover, he had married three at once. His three wives gave him five children, and his five children married and had children. It could be said that he was a classic example of a successful family.
When Yan Li walked in, Yuan Fushun was carrying a fat boy and sitting at the entrance of the hall. He was happily watching the children in the courtyard play with knives and spears.
Seeing him come in, the beautiful women who were presumably his daughters-in-law immediately coaxed the children away. Very quickly, the noisy courtyard quieted down.
"I originally thought that you were just old and frivolous. I didn't expect you to be such a serious person." Yan Li copied Yuan Fushun and sat on the doorsill of the hall, smiling faintly.
"If I don't go crazy, I won't live. How am I serious?" Yuan Fushun raised his eyebrows slightly.
"To carry on the family line." Yan Li said.
Yuan Fushun said faintly, "This is not serious. This is a kind of resignation."
"Resignation?" Yan Li said.
"Only by giving up on what you've been searching for so long will you turn your mind to something else." Yuan Fulun said faintly, "Do you know that the greatest achievement in life isn't some bullsh * t victory over oneself, but achieving one's ambition? Only at that time would you have the right to say something like 'I've had enough of this life'. Otherwise, it would just be the moans of a loser. But … "
At this point, he suddenly laughed. "Once people get old, they want to have a place to go. What is a place to go? It's a place where you can feel at ease. At first, I was unwilling to accept my fate, regretful, depressed, and even gave up on myself. But gradually, I realized that people are connected to each other. What you give to others, they will give back to you. Mutual warmth, mutual need, and it becomes a home. It is a place that is more pleasant than a home. It is a place that you will wake up from your dreams smiling. "
"Home," Yan Li muttered silently.
"Kid, what are you pursuing?" Yuan Fushun suddenly asked.
"Me?" The corners of Yan Li's mouth gradually curled up. "Does standing above the starry sky count?"
"Standing above the starry sky?" Yuan Fushun couldn't help but laugh. "Although I know you're an amazing young man, I still can't help but say that you're biting off more than you can chew."
"People can't resign themselves to fate," Yan Li said.
Yuan Fushun smiled. "When I was your age, I thought so too."
Yan Li said, "People can't resign themselves to fate. Once you've chosen a path, you have to use the rest of your life to complete it. Whether you can achieve it or not is secondary. What's important is whether you've done your best in the process."
"My best!" Yuan Fushun smiled bitterly. "Yes, that's the main point. Regrets are often like this. They don't care about one's feelings."
He rummaged around in his pocket for a while. "I don't have any parting gifts …"
Yan Li pressed his hand and shook his head. "I'm just here to see your 'home', not to accept a gift." He got up and left.
"Rascal." Yuan Fushun shook his head and laughed.
…
Yan Li's next stop was Bai Yuge's residence.
As Ji Hyun-woon's personal bodyguard, Bai Yuge naturally couldn't live too far away.
Therefore, he lived in a small courtyard near the lake near the Fengyang Palace. Yan Li arrived just in time. Bai Yuge was cultivating in the courtyard.
Sensing Yan Li's aura, he opened his eyes and frowned. "What are you doing?"
"Although you're unlikeable," Yan Li walked to the pavilion and sat down, "I still want to say goodbye to you."
"If you're done, you can go." Bai Yuge closed his eyes.
"Why are you so cold?" Yan Li smiled. "After all, life and death are difficult. I'm leaving. Don't you have anything you want to say to me?"
Bai Yuge thought seriously, then suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Yes."
"Oh?" This time, it was Yan Li's turn to be surprised.
"It's about Master Xiao Wang," Bai Yuge said.
"Go ahead, I'm listening," Yan Li said.
"I still remember when Master Xiao Wang was born, it was snowing in June. People said it was an ominous sign because the Princess was dead." Bai Yuge was lost in memories. "She was so young, so cute. Anyone who saw her would want her to live in happiness for the rest of her life. But Master made a cruel decision and announced a fake news to the public. You know about this fake news. "
"I know," Yan Li said.
"Master Xiao Wang's nightmare began," Bai Yuge continued. "She had to wake up before dawn to practice. She didn't even know how to hold chopsticks. At first, she was always crying. I comforted her, saying that it was something every child had to go through. She would be fine when she grew up. I don't know when it started, but she suddenly stopped crying. I think she must have understood her mission. "
"You must have thought that her mission was to inherit the throne," he looked at Yan Li and said.
"Isn't that so?" Yan Li said.
"Have you been to Elder Yuan's house?" Bai Yuge asked.
"I just came from there." Yan Li had just finished speaking when he suddenly sighed. "I think I understand."
Bai Yuge nodded and continued, "She was only five years old then. She accepted the fate of living as the Crown Prince. She was afraid of being exposed, so she never dared to make friends with people of the same age. So she always arrogantly kept others at a distance. But secretly, she was sad for a long time. "
"Yan Li," he looked at Yan Li seriously, "Master Xiao Wang treats you as a friend. She only has you as a friend."
Yan Li suddenly stood up and walked out.
Bai Yuge frowned and said, "Where are you going?"
