Ning Siyan sat in front of the small wooden house at the gate of Jinghu Villa.
A broadsword was stuck at his side, with a huge wineskin hanging on the hilt. In front of him was a blazing bonfire, with a chicken on the bonfire.
Opposite him sat a man carrying a bow.
Ning Siyan turned the roast chicken, looked up at the man opposite her, and suddenly grinned: "Yan Guilai, you will come back ten years later, carrying Bei Wangchuan's Sun-Breaking Divine Bow on your back... So, you have become a saint?"
He is Yan Guilai, Bei Wangchuan's only direct disciple.
Yan Guilai had come once when Fu Xiaoguan came to Wu Dynasty and lived in Jinghu Villa. At that time, Ning Siyan was the doorman of Jinghu Villa, and Yan Guilai came to fulfill the ten-year agreement.
He wasn't here to compete with Ning Siyan, he was here to find Su Su.
Yan Guilai did not respond to Ning Siyan's question. His gaze shifted from the roast chicken to the broadsword. After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "Your sword is still there. In that case, you haven't yet reached the Saint level."
His master Bei Wangchuan once said that Ning Fatian was proficient in swordsmanship because he was proficient in love, but Ning Siyan forgot about swordsmanship because he forgot about love!
When one day Ning Siyan no longer has a sword in his hand, he must have reached the Saint level.
Ning Siyan raised the corner of her mouth and took the chicken off the campfire.
He casually drew out the sword and used the broadsword to cut the chicken into pieces.
"It's been nearly ten years since Bei Wangchuan left Luomei Mountain... Is he okay?"
The expression on Yan Guilai's face suddenly darkened, "Master...Master has passed away."
Ning Siyan was startled, and the broadsword in his hand stopped. He looked up at Bei Wangchuan, and after a long while he asked again: "When did it happen?"
"Last autumn, on the night of August 15th."
"...What about You Beidou?"
"Mr. You passed away earlier than my mentor."
“…”
Ning Siyan slowly withdrew his gaze, his eyes fell on the bonfire, and after a moment he used the broadsword to slice the chicken again, but it was obvious that he was a little confused because the thickness of the chicken was obviously uneven.
ten years!
It was at Jinghu Villa that two Saint-level masters, Bei Wangchuan and You Beidou, killed Gongsun, Duan Yunchou and others, shattered Empress Xiao's conspiracy, and ensured Fu Xiaoguan's safety.
In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed, and the two saint-level masters of the Wu Dynasty have passed away quietly. Time is indeed merciless.
"Are the plum blossoms on Luomei Mountain still there?"
"Of course, Mr. You has recruited several disciples. They are still in Luomei Mountain. They will take good care of the plums."
Ning Siyan let out a long sigh and handed over the plate of chicken. "Since you've already left the mountain, you must have reached the Saint level. Susu left Daxia with him three years ago. If you still want to challenge Susu... this wish may be difficult to realize."
Yan Guilai took the plate and shook his head: "I have indeed entered the Saint level, but I am not here to challenge Su Su."
"Then what are you doing here?"
"My mentor's last wish was to protect his safety, or... to serve as his doorman, as you have done."
Ning Siyan raised her eyebrows, "That's a good idea, but I don't know when he will come back."
At this moment, Ning Siyan and Yan Guilai turned their heads at the same time and looked towards the intersection.
In the darkness of the night, two carriages were approaching the gate.
Ning Siyan frowned slightly, because no one had been to Jinghu Villa for several years.
The carriage stopped in front of the two of them, and in their sight, Fu Xiaoguan walked over accompanied by Guan Xiaoxi, Yan Xiwen, Zhuo Bieli and Ji Yungui.
He stood in front of Ning Siyan with a smile on his face.
"You are probably the most dedicated concierge in the world."
Ning Siyan grinned.
"After you left, I thought about going to Chang'an City to be your doorman, but... Commander Huo Huaijin said that was his responsibility. I didn't think I could defeat them all, and I had nowhere else to go. I figured I'd just stay at Jinghu Villa. Maybe one day you'll come and live here."
"Very good, then you will come with me this time and be my doorman in Yingtian City."
After a pause, Fu Xiaoguan looked at Yan Guilai.
He didn't know Yan Guilai, but he knew the Sun-Breaking Bow that Yan Guilai was carrying on his back.
"A disciple of Bei Wangchuan?"
Yan Guilai stood up and bowed, "Yes, I am Yan Guilai."
"Is Beiwangchuan okay?"
"...My master has passed away."
“…”
Fu Xiaoguan was also surprised, and he recalled the past.
I met Bei Wangchuan in a border town. At that time, I went to Wu Dynasty. Bei Wangchuan shot me with an arrow with this bow in the border town, and I shot him with that big spear.
Later, Bei Wangchuan was ordered by his father, the former Emperor Wu, to protect him, and the two of them put aside their past grudges. They couldn't be said to have become friends, but he did respect Bei Wangchuan very much.
I never expected that after not seeing him for several years, he had passed away.
"Well, I'm sorry, no one can escape the knife of time."
Fu Xiaoguan waved his hand and said, "Come on, let's go to the Star Picking Terrace together. I'll have Sifanglou send over a table, and we can all have a drink together later. I also have something for you to listen to."
…
…
Star Picking Platform.
The big red lanterns that had not been lit for many years were bright again on this night.
Several people, led by Fu Xiaoguan, sat around a large round table. There were no stars or moon in the sky, so they naturally couldn't appreciate the beauty of the starry sky. In fact, even if there were, no one had the mind to look at it at the moment.
Because what Fu Xiaoguan said was beyond their imagination.
"This is Queen Maria II of France."
"I saw half of the Great Prophecy when I was in Frankie... According to the description in that book, the eighteenth floor of the Tianji Pavilion should be connected to the temple, or there should be a road leading to the temple outside the door of the eighteenth floor."
Fu Xiaoguan did not use the word "nuclear base" here because they did not understand it and it was difficult for him to explain it.
"I've already visited the eighteenth floor. With our current technological capabilities, it's impossible to break it open. So... if we want to find Tianci, we have to go to Franky again."
"Starting from Franky, following the path discovered by the Franky Church to the temple, perhaps..."
Fu Xiaoguan picked up the wine glass and looked up at the dark sky. He didn't know how far it was from the eighteenth floor to the nuclear base. He only knew that even if he went to Frankie and then to the temple as quickly as possible, it would take more than half a year.
If Wu Tianci arrived earlier, he would definitely die.
But Wu Tianci is his and Ling'er's son after all, he can't just stand by and watch him die.
"Maybe he's dead, but if I can bring back his body, I can give Ling'er an explanation."
Yan Xiwen hung his head in guilt, "This is all my fault!"
"No, this is destined!"
No one understood the meaning of this sentence, and Fu Xiaoguan did not explain it.
He looked at the dark sky and thought that there were satellites they had left behind above the sky, and Nuwa was probably watching him all the time.
And the observer named Second Dream probably used this method to lead him to the temple.
As for the purpose... of course it is to eliminate him, an anomaly that should not exist.
If this is true, it also illustrates another problem - the Second Dream's autonomous consciousness is already very strong, but she cannot directly erase herself by modifying Nuwa's program.
This is just Fu Xiaoguan's guess, because the first half of the Great Prophecy was lost.
Who took the first half?
What is written in the first half?
All of this can only be solved by going to that nuclear base and reading Nuwa's information.
And in the dark cabinet on the eighteenth floor, there happened to be ten protective suits that were still intact.
Unfortunately, Wu Tianci did not take any of them with him, so if he had arrived earlier, he would have died for sure!
And he could only take nine people with him.
These nine people must be top masters.
For example, the two holy levels in front of you.
For example, the senior brothers in the Taoist temple.
