C1011 The Old Story
Twenty years ago, there was a household in a valley under the Qilian Mountain.
It was a family of three, a capable and intelligent man, a quiet and simple mistress, and a six-year-old girl.
Twenty years ago, it was the era of economic development in the Mainland, but here, there was no sense of civilization. The family did not have any electricity, the men went out to hunt every day, went to fish by the lake, and their mistresses were at home weaving and cooking and watching over their children.
To many, this was a typical family, parents and daughters, living in this neglected valley, quietly enjoying their otherworldly life.
The little girl also thought that the man and the mistress were her parents.
However, she was puzzled by the fact that the man and the mistress would only give her incomparable care and care. They would never ask her to call them 'parents'.
Even when the little girl tried to call out to their parents, their faces would be filled with shock, as if they had committed a grave mistake.
And from that time onwards, the little girl discovered that the man and the mistress had never shared a room before.
They seemed to be a couple, but they weren't. They seemed to be a family, and neither were they.
The three of them were a relatively independent bunch of three people.
The mission of a man and his mistress was to take good care of the little girl.
The man and the mistress didn't have names. The little girl's name was Guo Guo.
Guo Guo. This was a modern name that looked very cute.
Guo Guo didn't have a surname, at least the man and his mistress never said anything about her surname.
The little girl's name was Guo Guo, as if her surname was Guo, Guo Guo.
The little girl's world was very monotonous. Other than knowing the man and the mistress, who weren't a husband and wife, she also knew another person from the age of three.
She was a very beautiful woman, a beauty that Guo Guo still couldn't describe in words.
A beautiful woman with a surname, surname, and a duplicate surname, Shangguan. Her name was Shangguan Fengling.
Guo Guo heard from the two men that Shangguan Fengling's residence was at the highest point in Qilian Mountain, beside a heavenly lake.
Guo Guo called Shangguan Fengling her aunt, even though Shangguan Fengling was in her forties at that time, even calling her grandmother didn't seem to be out of line.
Since she was three years old, Shangguan Fengling would come to the valley every full moon night for seven days to teach her some difficult things. She was also very tired, and during those seven days, she was not allowed to eat anything, only some wild fruits, etc.
Every time Shangguan Fengling came into the valley, the man and the mistress would leave the valley and return after seven days to continue taking care of Guo Guo.
Every time Shangguan Fengling left, the mistress would shed tears of pain when she saw the scars on Guo Guo's body (she was learning to make mistakes or had been beaten up by Shangguan Fengling when she couldn't understand).
The man on the side tried to persuade her, saying it was all for Guo Guo's own good. Once Guo Guo grew up, she would naturally understand.
As she grew older, Guo Guo finally understood that Shangguan Fengling being so strict with her was really for her own good.
Actually, the main reason why Guo Guo could tell that Shangguan Fengling was treating her well was because she saw Shangguan Fengling secretly crying when she was punished several times.
"Guo Guo, you have to be strong. Remember what I taught you, because you have to carry a heavy mission with you!"
These words were what Shangguan Fengling had said the last time she saw her leave when Guo Guo was eight years old. She had left behind a book, telling her that she would not be able to read the contents of it until she was twelve years old.
At that time, Guo Guo still didn't understand the meaning behind Shangguan Fengling's words. She only knew that she hadn't seen her ever since.
After Shangguan Fengling left, Guo Guo's life became even more dull. Every day she would stay in the valley and review what she had learned.
Gradually, when Guo Guo was eleven years old, she found out that she could become the mistress.
When she was twelve, she took out the book Shangguan Fengling had left behind before she left.
After reading the contents of this book, Guo Guo finally understood why Shangguan Fengling said that she had a heavy mission on her shoulders.
This was because from the day Guo Guo was born, she was the king of Anggui Cult who had inherited two thousand years ago.
Guo Guo had been a Anggui King since the day she was born.
All these years, she had been learning the skills that a king should have.
Only by learning all the skills Shangguan Fengling had taught her and breaking through could she be able to unleash even more power in the great cause of recovery.
Guo Guo had been a Anggui King since the day she was born, so who was Shangguan Fengling?
Why did she have the ability only the Anggui King had?
What was the relationship between her and Guo Guo?
The difference between the two was close to forty years. It seemed that they shouldn't be mother and daughter, so what was the relationship?
For the next ten years or so, Guo Guo kept on thinking about this question, but there was no answer.
As for Shangguan Fengling, she seemed to have vanished from the world, never to be heard of again.
Although there was no more news of Shangguan Fengling, Guo Guo knew clearly that she was family. Just like the man and his mistress who committed suicide on her 18th birthday when she left the valley, she was family.
The man and the woman had watched over Guo Guo for eighteen years. When she left the valley and committed suicide, there was no pain on their faces, only pride and relief.
They had accompanied the mighty Anggui King for eighteen years, and to them, this was already a great fortune. When Anggui King was about to be born, they could finally let go of the burden on their shoulders, and smile as they went to face some people.
In Guo Guo's entire life, there should be three people that she would never be able to forget. Even if she died, she wouldn't be able to … .Shangguan Fengling, and that nameless pair of men and women.
But now, there was one more person that she couldn't seem to forget.
This person's name is Gao Fei.
--
Shangguan Fengling who had mysteriously disappeared for more than twenty years suddenly found Gao Fei. Since she said that she wanted to find a quiet place, Gao Fei brought her along with him.
It was quiet and elegant, and no one dared to disturb it--it was only this painting that made people uncomfortable, so he had to take it off.
But Shangguan Fengling stopped him and said she didn't have much time left.
Gao Fei was stunned. His hand, which was reaching for the portrait, froze in the air and did not move for a long time.
Shangguan Fengling did not move. One of them stood by the door while the other stood in front of the portrait, as if they would stay frozen until the end of the world, until the rabbit hidden in the weeds seemed to be disturbed by the current strange atmosphere and could not help but jump out to escape towards the main entrance.
With a bang, the hare shot towards the entrance like an arrow and crashed into a tree in a panic.
Snowflakes flew in all directions. The hare directly smashed its own head into pieces, violently rolling a few times on the ground before it stopped moving.
Shangguan Fengling turned around and looked at the hare that had died under the tree. Her shriveled mouth moved slightly as she sighed, "Oh, he's right. If I don't let go of my obsession, no matter where I go, life will fall. It's just a hare, and it died because of me."
"Who is that person?"
Gao Fei's expression returned to normal. He looked at Shangguan Fengling and asked, "Just now, why did you say that you don't have much time left?"
Shangguan Fengling didn't answer. Instead, she slowly sat on the doorstep and said, "Can I tell you a story?"1
This was not the best place to tell a cold story like this. Gao Fei didn't hesitate at all. He lowered his body and sat cross-legged on the moss-covered stone floor. He simply said: "Alright." Speak, I'll listen! "
"The story is very distant. I have to start from seventy years ago."
Shangguan Fengling seemed to be too old to sit still. She leaned against the doorframe, turned her face to look at the weeds in the yard, and began to narrate an ancient and heart-wrenching story.
Seventy years ago, a little girl was born in that chaotic world.
Seventy years ago, the Divine Dynasty was still in an era of turmoil. Most of the people of the Divine Dynasty in the mainland were still living in a state of suffering. However, for the parents of the little girl, this was an era that could not be any better.
The parents of the little girl hope that the world will fall into chaos as soon as possible, because this is the only way for them to achieve their dream: create the Illusory Dynasty that they have yearned for for for 2,000 years, Lou Lan.
The little girl's father was the king of Anggui Cult.
The little girl's name was Shangguan Fengling.
No one, including Shangguan Fengling, did not know how much effort the Anggui King of that generation had put in, and only knew that his father's grand aspiration had failed. Before he died, he did not even close his eyes, and said, "I can't accept it.
After the death of the Anggui King of that generation, it was natural that the heavy responsibility of the Anggui King fell on Shangguan Fengling's shoulders.
Shangguan Fengling's brother was at least 25 years younger than her. His name was Shangguan Yin.
Shangguan Fengling was the king of Anggui Cult, and her brother Shangguan Yin, when he was eighteen years old, held the position of the Anggui Cult's Eastern Palace Palace Master.
However, compared to Shangguan Fengling, who wholeheartedly wanted to restore Lou Lan, Shangguan Yin did not have much enthusiasm. He only had the Eastern Palace Palace Master position and held the Shangguan Family's only copy of the 'Anggui Sutra', but was obsessed with driving taxis in the Jingdu City.
Shangguan Fengling was furious at her brother's disappointing performance.
In order to revive her great cause, she did not look for a man even at the age of forty. Shangguan Yin was also a queen of Anggui, why was he so unskilled, yet willing to be mediocre?
More than once, Shangguan Fengling had gone to teach Shangguan Yin a lesson, asking him to pull himself together and to help her achieve her great goal. Even if she couldn't achieve it in her lifetime, she had to lay a good foundation for her descendants.
Shangguan Yin agreed very well, but he turned around and forgot. Later on, he even fell in love with a high school student.
The high school student's name was Shieh Hongyan.
However, Shangguan Fengling looked down on Shangguan Yin's way of chasing a woman: he was just accompanying her silently without doing anything else. What was this supposed to be?
Trash, absolute trash!
How could such a good-for-nothing with no ambition appear in the Shangguan family?
Shangguan Fengling, who hated her brother more and more, became more and more disappointed with him. In the end, she was completely disappointed and was determined to cut off all ties with him, not allowing him to recognize himself as a member of the Shangguan family.
Shangguan Yin was very straightforward and changed his surname to Zhang.
After breaking with Shangguan Yin, Shangguan Fengling did not demand for the treasure inside the Anggui Cult back, the reddish-brown《 Anggui Classic》 with the cover.
She only hoped that Shangguan Yin would one day wake up from his stupor after seeing this scripture book. He should never be distracted by a high school student again!
Now Shangguan Fengling regretted that she would have taken the book with her if she could do it again.
That book became Shangguan Yin's rune six years later.
