I created the Longevity Club

Chapter 717 Glowing Embers

Old Shi was slumped, covering his head tightly with both hands. His hands were full of traces left by the passage of time. His sleeves had slipped, and the scars on his arms silently told the story of battles that were either thrilling or in which thousands of men were killed. The old man slowly raised his head, his forehead was wrinkled and furrowed, and his gaze was pointed directly at the scorching sun, but the frames of his eyes were empty and lifeless, as if he was trapped in long-lasting memories.

Mr. Shi must have been a brave and skilled warrior when he was young. Lu Li had a little more respect in his heart, not the kind of respect for an old man, but for a warrior who had experienced hundreds of battles.

After a long time, the old man finally came to his senses, slowly closed his eyes, and spoke.

"I watched this kid Jiang Li grow up."

The old man's vicissitudes of voice make you know that he is a man who has gone through many hardships. The voice itself seems to contain many stories and can arouse people's strong desire to discover.

The same was true for Lu Li. At this time, in addition to his eagerness to explore the era's information, Lu Li was more curious about the rise and fall of the two people, and perhaps the entire Jiang clan.

"The Jiang clan was very powerful at that time, and there were many powerful people, such as Jiang Yun, the leader at the time, who could be regarded as someone who followed Emperor Yan to conquer the world."

"Following Master Shennong and Master Chi You, we conquered more than a dozen large tribes and unified all the land west of the Central Plains. Master Chi You's men were all brave and good at fighting."

"There are several tribes in the west. They are all hard-core. I heard that Emperor Yan fought all the way here and it took very little time to conquer a tribe. It took as long as seven days and as little as three days. Some of the remaining tribes were afraid and wanted to unite. Rise up to resist Lord Yan Emperor's army." The old man was beaming, as the original scene seemed to reappear in front of him. Emperor Yan led the army, and the vast army marched in an orderly manner. The formation was dense and the military discipline was strict. Wherever the army passed, it was invincible. , after the dust of the army was filled with surrenders.

"The other side was determined to die, and the soldiers fought with life-for-life fighting moves. Emperor Yan fought for several months, and the corpses of warriors from both sides were piled on the wooden walls of the tribe. The blood left by the warriors from both sides was heavy. When you step on the ground, you will be left with bloody footprints.”

"When the two sides were in a stalemate, Lord Chi You finally took the initiative to ask for orders. He led four tribes, bypassed the front, made a surprise attack with light troops, and cooperated with Lord Yan Emperor's front troops one after another to break through the copper and iron walls of the opponent's alliance and destroy the enemy. Take all the tribes.”

The old man's eyes, which had been cloudy for a long time, finally showed their light. The veins on his arms suddenly appeared, and there seemed to be still a clanging sound in his ears. He returned to the battlefield. He was in his prime at that time, holding a spear in his hand and wearing a sword. The war drums roared behind him and shouts were shouted in front of him. The sound of killing rose to the sky.

"Among the four tribes at that time, the leader of one was named Jiang Yun. His soldiers were all brave and good at fighting. In that battle, they did not flinch in the face of the enemy alliance soldiers' life-threatening moves. I, the Jiang clan's man, was not greedy. People who live in fear of death, if someone takes their life for it.”

The wooden stick in the old man's hand hit the ground hard, as if a sharp sword pierced the heart of the enemy soldier.

"The only option is to fight to the death!"

Speaking of his excitement, he couldn't help himself. The old man stood up in a hurry, still using the wooden stick to show off his glory in the past. Unfortunately, time is not kind to people. Mr. Shi's current body can no longer withstand such a torment. Halfway through the swing, a Improper ventilation, upper breath and lower breath.

"Ahem."

Lu Li was so frightened by Old Shi that he immediately came to his senses from the scene described by Old Shi. This can’t be blamed on Lu Li. He was surrounded by his comrades, his wife and children behind him, and he had a sword to kill the enemy. I wonder which man doesn’t have a person in his heart? The dream of a soldier.

The excited Mr. Shi was supported by Lu Li and slowly returned to the wooden pier, slowly calming down his rapid breathing.

"So that Jiang Yun back then...?" Seeing that Old Shi's breath was almost stable, Lu Li asked tentatively.

"He is now Jiang Xiaozi's father."

Sure enough, Lu Li's guess was settled. At first, Lu Li was still a little suspicious. Why would such a large tribe respect a leader who usually had no upright behavior? It turned out that it was the older generation who had made great contributions, and all they had accumulated were incense and love. .

It seems that Mr. Shi should have been a capable person under Mr. Jiang Yun, otherwise he would not have known so much inside information.

But according to this, Jiang Yun should be about the same age as Mr. Shi. Why is there only Mr. Shi but not Jiang Yun now? There must be a hidden secret, but for Lu Li who basically knows nothing, it is still too much to speculate. It's better to ask the old man next to him and listen to what he has to say.

"Chief Jiang rushed to the front every time he fought and suffered the most injuries. After dozens of battles, big and small, he suffered from hidden diseases and new injuries. Just before the last few final battles, Chief Jiang left." Elder Shi sighed. , seems to be sad for the departure of his former comrades, and also regrets that his best friend could not see the time when Ben Shi returned to the court.

Lu Li couldn't help but come out to disturb the scene when Mr. Shi was remembering his old friend, so he had to wait until Mr. Shi opened his mouth.

"Chief Jiang asked me to take good care of Jiang Li. He was only a few years old at that time. How could any child endure such pain?" "I was not sensible at the time, but people have to be sensible. If the seeds are planted, they will have to do it every day even though they know the consequences will be bad. Well cared for.”

"Even if it is a bad consequence, it is the only comfort in Leader Jiang's heart." Lu Li knew this feeling. Walking in the long river of time, he was used to seeing separation between life and death. Even a hard-hearted person would feel this kind of thing. A few tears lingered.

The bitter apricot wine is buried deeper and deeper. When the day finally opens, I take a photo of the mud seal, and the mellow aroma of wine goes straight into my nose, but it is also bitter when I take a sip.

Emotions can only be empathized if they resonate. Everyone has a knot in their heart, big or small. Usually, it is hidden in the softest place, and only in the dead of night will it be carefully taken out and looked at.

Many people have some knots in their hearts, such as the departure of relatives, insufficient income, and a bleak future. These people with similar schemes are the easiest to empathize.

Don't judge right or wrong without experiencing others' suffering.

But people with the same experience and the same pain can tell at a glance that the other person has experienced the same rain, snow, wind and frost as themselves, and they don't want to mention them again.

But fortunately, everything will pass.

It's also the worst, everything will pass.

Saying that you have let it go doesn't necessarily mean that you have really let it go. Some things, if you let them go, will really pass, and disappear completely in this world, just like a heavy snowfall, the world that was originally full of singing orioles and green willows, is now white and clean, which makes people sad.

Leave a broken gong and drum, and let future generations knock and laugh, and guess what it was like back then. .
