Life Hunter

Li Qingxian walked out of the house, chatted with everyone for a while, and then invited Hu Jizu to come in alone.

Li Qingxian sat down and Hu Jizu stood.

The two had met twice at the Mingshu Tea House, and this was the third time they met in the strange place.

Li Qingxian had long deduced that this person was related to him because he was a descendant of the Star Chess Master.

This time Hu Jizu also followed him into the strange place, and the cause and effect was already deep.

Li Qingxian knew very well that he had inherited the mantle of Xingqi master, and he had to help Hu Jizu both emotionally and rationally.

Do you know why I'm looking for you? Li Qingxian asked.

Hu Jizu pondered for a long time and said slowly: If nothing else, you have a close relationship with your ancestors.

Li Qingxian said: What happened to your family?

Hu Jizu sighed softly and recalled: My ancestors have many plans, but their descendants are not up to par. When I was very young, my ancestors discovered that none of the generations after him would be able to inherit his mantle. Once he Therefore, our Hu family will inevitably encounter the disaster of annihilation. Therefore, our ancestors split up the Hu family early and divided it into six rooms, and we were the fifth. After that, our ancestors drifted away and disappeared...

...Since I was a child, I have grown up listening to my parents' complaints. They took the wealth of their ancestors and huddled in a poor mountain village...

...Haha, in the end, as my ancestors expected, my parents couldn't hold it back and went out to spend money. In the end, not only did the family's wealth disappear, but they also fell ill and were infected with a strange poison...

...Fortunately, my ancestors left the cultivation method in mind because of their bloodline. I studied hard and was able to enter the rank...

...I later found out that someone seemed to be targeting our Hu family, and the other five families were all wiped out...

...Afterwards, in order to detoxify, I went north to the capital of gods. Someone discovered that I was a descendant of a down-and-out fortune-telling clan, and wanted to trick me into inheriting it...

...Finally, meeting you and coming here.

Li Qingxian pondered for a moment and said, A great fortune-teller can't make future generations safe in their lives?

Hu Jizu sighed and said: My father asked my grandfather about this matter, but my grandfather's answer was something that my father didn't understand in his life, and I didn't understand it either.

What did Master Xingqi say? Li Qingxian slowly sat up straight.

I can't remember the specific language, but there are two general meanings. As a great destiny magician, he carries not only our family, but also the safety of the entire human race on his shoulders. He inherited the family's inheritance and became a great destiny magician. For a moment, he was half the Hu family and half the human race. Whatever he did next, he could not let down the descendants of the Hu family or the human race. Therefore, he gave his descendants enough but not unlimited wealth to ensure that they would live richly. After that, As a human race, he will consider how to strengthen the human race and consider the continuation of the entire human race.

Li Qingxian was in awe and nodded lightly.

The second point, I don't quite understand, but as I grow up and see all kinds of things in the world, I understand a little bit.

My ancestor said that most of the great achievers he knew were their own. He has left his books and inheritance in the Hu family. Children of the Hu family can practice literature if they like reading, and they can practice martial arts if they like to practice martial arts. , if you like fortune-telling, you can cultivate your life, but if his descendants don't choose, he can't force them out. What he fears most is not that the descendants will be ineffective, but that he will give the ineffective descendants too much wealth, power, or cultivation, and their virtues are not worthy of it. As a result, our Hu family has no power, but we don’t know that we are half selfish and half human.”

My ancestors said that once such useless descendants gain too much power, they will completely degenerate from humans into wild beasts, like evil tigers and wolves, living only for themselves and their family, without caring about the human race. The final result is the same as The collapse is exactly the same in all dynasties.”

He said that there are many reasons for the collapse of the country, but one of the most important reasons is that those who have the most power, the most resources, and the strongest power only focus on their own short-term interests and ignore their own long-term interests. They watch the human race being damaged and lose nothing. They always think that they are different from others, and they always think that they will be fine if something happens to the country. As a result, they will trample the bones of the ministers, and most of their endings are no different from ordinary people.

I speculate that my ancestors believed that we people are actually no different from ordinary people, but we rely on our good luck to be born in a big family, mistakenly thinking that we are extraordinary, and then do whatever we want, thinking that this is our privilege. But in fact We are no smarter than ordinary people, and we are no more able to help the human race progress than ordinary people. In fact, the damage we cause to the human race is far greater than that of ordinary people. He believes that we will hold the human race back.

My ancestors believed that what led to the destruction of the country in the past dynasties was neither foreign invasion nor ordinary people's lack of hard work. The main culprits were big families like us.

So, in order to prevent us from harming the human race and the country, our ancestors scattered us all over the place, and did not give us power or influence on the country and the human race. In addition to a certain amount of wealth, our ancestor also gave us a large number of books. His purpose was to Let us learn through reading, grow, separate from the old family, and find our own way. But, as you saw, the entire army was almost annihilated.

Li Qingxian nodded frequently, praised again and again, and said: As expected of a great magician, it is not difficult to see that the reason for the country's decline is the Manchu government. What is difficult is to be able to truly distinguish the boundaries between humans and beasts, and then use a sword to cut off the beastly nature. , retaining more humanity. Admirable.”

So the older I get, the more I admire my grandfather. But unfortunately, after my grandfather passed away, he couldn't protect us. Hu Jizu said.

Li Qingxian thought for a while and said, You are wrong.

Oh? Hu Jizu looked at Li Qingxian.

I am a life magician. Even a middle-grade life magician can still protect his blood. Master Xingqi is even more extraordinary as a great life magician. He can definitely protect the safety of all six houses of your clan. But the problem is, in the end, Did he fail to protect you, or did you disobey him, do something you shouldn't do, and seek your own death? Li Qingxian asked.

Hu Jizu suddenly sweated on his forehead.

Or, you don't understand what Master Xingqi said at all. Let me put it in the most straightforward terms. Some of you are actually mediocre in ability, but you are so confident that you always feel that you are different from ordinary people, and then you go around trying to commit suicide. Those princely families have family protection, and if they commit suicide, others and the entire human race will bear the price. But if your family commits suicide, the power of the Star Chess Master will give up its protection, so the other five families will all die.

Hu Jizu remained silent.

Li Qingxian said: However, Xingqi masters are human beings after all, and they have selfish motives after all. Of course, the most important thing is that you are different from them. You are not a genius, but you have really worked hard to learn fortune-telling and become a good person. You obviously You were squandered your property by your parents, but you didn't complain and took the initiative to help your parents find an antidote. You were clearly tempted by someone's trap, but in the end you resisted the temptation and turned around and left. All of this is your choice. You believe in hard work and trust. Be grateful and believe in restraint. Therefore, Master Xingqi allows you to meet me.

Hu Jizu was stunned, his eyes were red, he lowered his head and wiped his nose gently.
