After going down the mountain and looking at the familiar scenery in front of him, Chen Kaizhi felt like he was a different life.

He looked back at the Baiyun Peak, which was as high as a sea of ​​clouds, but left quickly without any burden.

Although I learned a lot on the mountain and even felt reluctant to leave, the feeling of going down the mountain was pleasant. This was not because Chen Kaizhi was heartless, but because he yearned for the bustling street market and was more willing to listen to the sound of reading.

Although it is noisy, it gives people a sense of ease and belonging.

The Tianren Pavilion was too quiet, as quiet as if there was no people, and there was no voice at all. Such tranquility made Chen Kaizhi feel urgent and restless for no reason.

Looking for the familiar road, with a knowing smile on my lips, I returned home all the way.

Until he walked into his bedroom, the first thing he did was to find the birthmark on his thigh. He had to take a closer look and study it carefully.

Alas... After careful identification, it was exactly the same as what was described in the book.

Chen Kaizhi's heart was a little confused, so he covered up his birthmark, thinking that Tianren Pavilion should not reveal this secret. In this way, he was safe. As for the so-called prince...

If Chen Kaizhi said it was not rare, it would be impossible. But he knew very well that this was too complicated and involved the battle against imperial power, and it was definitely not something he could participate in, a little scholar.

If someone discovers this birthmark, let alone becoming the best, it will be a big trouble.

Instead of doing this, it is better to continue the path of fame and fortune.

This time I met the Li family, but Chen Kaizhi became more and more urged about fame and fortune.

Everything is inferior, but reading is high. This is what I add to the Stone Book, but... Isn't this a portrayal of myself?

For people like me, there is no background or any connotation. The only way out is to study and get fame.

In this way, some people dare not be presumptuous and will not attack themselves easily.

The spring exam will be the beginning of next year, but now it is not far from the spring exam.

Chen Kaizhi no longer dared to neglect.

He studied hard and Deng Jian saw it, and he knew that the spring exam was getting closer, so he did not dare to delay him, so he became tiptoe at home.

However, Deng Jian seemed to be worried, but he didn't know what was hidden.

Although Chen Kaizhi could feel a little different, he was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Now, in addition to going to the school, he goes home, goes to Tianren Pavilion several times a month, reads books, and asks Yang Biao for advice before going down the mountain.

……………………

It's this far north with a biting cold wind.

Chen Wuji, curled up in the cellar, had already been stiff all over, his face was bloodless, and as pale as paper.

At this moment, he bit his trembling lips. Even though he looked embarrassed, his pretty face still contained a stubborn and unyielding look.

During the countless days and nights here, in addition to all kinds of abuses, it was the bone-broken cold that made him doubt his life.

There is no wind here, but I can't feel the slightest warmth.

Many times, he slept on the floor made of firewood and grass, and when he was about to close his eyes, he thought he would not wake up.

Even sometimes he prayed silently in his heart. It would be such a pleasant thing if he could never open his eyes. It was so painful in the world.

His tears fell quietly, and then dried up on his face, so repeated that the frozen tears on his cheeks piled up into pieces of film, and he was already unkempt, but... he didn't care about these things. He had been unkempt since he could remember, and now he has just returned to his essence.

So the more he did this, the more he missed the short beauty. In that short and beautiful time, he remembered a small house that was simple but full of warmth. There he had a brother who always ordered him to clean his body and tie his hair up. Although the clothes he wore were not silk and satin, they must be spotless.

At that time... he was still studying, and the happiest thing was that under the strict gaze of his elder brother, he identified it word by word.

In fact, at this time, he had no good flesh on his body. Perhaps it was because of this short-term beauty that he supported him to the present.

He licked his dry and cracked lips and turned purple, swallowed his saliva, and slowly closed his eyes. He felt that it was harder to open his eyes after he fell asleep this time.

A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth. This was a rare smile, with a bit of warmth, because at this moment, he seemed to see a person, a person who was truly good to him in this world.

His lips were stuttering and his tears were whispering, and he couldn't help but want to scream: "Brother."

Bang...

At this moment, the door of the cellar opened and a dazzling light fell in. The light shone on Chen Wuji's body, making him bruised, which was particularly shocking.

Perhaps it was the reason for the light, or perhaps it was the factor of fear, Chen Wuji, who was unconscious, frowned gently, and his whole body seemed a little uneasy.

I saw two people wearing jackets and covered with tight bodies walking in, and the cold wind suddenly poured into the already cold cellar.

Without hesitation, the two of them directly lifted Chen Wuji up and then quickly walked out of the silent cellar.

When Chen Wuji woke up again, he found that his whole body was warm. For a moment, Chen Wuji thought he was in a dream and his face was a little surprised.

When he looked up, he found himself in a room with elegant rooms, decorated with screens and vases.

It made him realize that he was not dreaming, but because he saw something, there was a charcoal basin and fire here...

Flame, at this time, nothing is more precious than flame.

Chen Wuji was gasping for breath. He rushed towards the charcoal basin and felt the heat wave. The heat wave came to his face, as if even his heart had melted.

"How great it would be if this would be the case forever." Chen Wuji thought to himself, and a faint smile appeared in his beautiful face.

And at this moment, a smiley voice came: "How is it, do you like it?"

Chen Wuji raised his eyes in shock and found that it was the woman who gave him food last time.

What the woman wore today was a white dress, which looked extremely dignified and noble. Although there were fine fish patterns on the corners of her eyes, just looking at her delicate facial features, you can tell what an outstanding beauty she was when she was young.

Chen Wuji glanced at the woman and quickly lowered her eyes.

Seeing this, the woman smiled kindly again and said, "Do you like it?"

Chen Wuji hesitated for a moment before moving the corner of his mouth, stuttering: "I like it."

The woman said again: "You can live here all the time, I will be your mother, treat you well. If you are here, I will teach you many things, including organic techniques, Yin-Yang techniques, and Vertical and Eternal techniques. If you learn these, you will become an amazing person in the future, but now, I will ask you again, are you willing to swear?"

Chen Wuji leaned against the charcoal brazier greedily, enjoying the hard-earned heat wave. After looking at the scorching flames, he said without hesitation: "I don't want to, nor do I want to die."

This time, the woman's face was not ferocious, but instead smiled softly and said, "Is that so stubborn? Think about it, how many hardships have you suffered in order to make an oath? How many times have you suffered in life and death? You are still a child, why do you suffer such suffering?"

Chen Wuji still shook his head stubbornly.

"Why?" The woman's face slightly pulled down, her eyes narrowed gently, and she looked straight at Chen Wuji.

This is a child with excellent qualifications, who is persevering and able to endure pain and suffering that ordinary people cannot tolerate and cannot even admit to adults, and cannot make him surrender.

And it is said... he can even read and write.

This makes people even more impressive.

In this place with harsh conditions, inheritance is an extremely important thing. If you want to reproduce from generation to generation, you must inherit it. What is inherited is not just the bloodline, but the most important thing is the thoughts and hatred that have been told from generation to generation.

Survival is extremely difficult here, and people like Chen Wuji are rare.

Chen Wuji raised his eyes and looked at the woman's cold gaze, but said unswervingly: "My eldest brother is a Confucian scholar. I will never kill him, and I will never."

The woman raised her eyebrows and sneered: "If you don't kill him, he will come to kill you!"

Chen Wuji was silent, and his whole body fell into deep thought, as if he was thinking about something. After a long time, he raised his eyes gently, looked at the woman, and said solemnly: "Even if he killed me a hundred times or a thousand times, I will never kill him."

The woman took a breath of cold air, shocked, angry and happy. In just a moment, a hundred emotions were intertwined in her heart.

Because of so many tortures and whippings, and now, Chen Wuji looked at her, the woman knew very well that everything Chen Wuji said was true, and she firmly believed that Chen Wuji did what she said.

What a shocking thing this is. A young man is so fierce.

Such children are naturally worth nurturing.

The woman suddenly said, "Then, except for your brother, all other Confucian dogs can be killed?"

Chen Wuji looked straight at the woman, but nodded very simply.

The woman turned anger into joy and said, "Come here, come here."

Chen Wuji wandered around and didn't dare to step forward.

The woman quickly stepped forward, grabbed him, looked at him very carefully, but she looked at him a little sad, and said quietly: "If my child is not dead, he will be as old as you. Look at you, you are so handsome. You... are a good child. From now on, I will be your mother, okay?"

Chen Wuji was silent and hugged by the woman in his arms. The woman seemed to have touched something, and tears wet Chen Wuji's clothes.

"From now on, you will be my son!"
