Chapter 20 - The Old Man
He hurriedly willed it, examining his own body. Immediately, the scene of his dantian appearing in front of Xiang Yun's eyes, and that golden vine meandered upwards, extending all the way to the Divine Court.
The golden vine was filled with a blue gaseous substance. It was the cloud energy contained within it. Xiang Yun wasn't sure if it was just an illusion, but he felt that the blue gaseous substance seemed to have grown stronger, becoming even denser.
After drinking the warm water that Lin Wan'er had pa.s.sed to him just now and eating some more to quell his hunger, Xiang Yun's originally ice-cold and numb body gradually regained its warmth and senses.
Xiang Yun could even feel his entire body being pure and carefree as he breathed. His four limbs were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with energy, as if there was a powerful energy hidden within him that made him want to pour it all out!
Xiang Yun had a feeling that at this moment, he seemed to be even stronger than that day when he had cultivated the Art of Creation and became a martial pract.i.tioner. After Xiang Yun had sensed the changes in his body one by one, he wondered if these were all changes brought about by the Five Poison Wine.
The Five Poison Wine, the Art of Creation, and the Divine Transformation. Just what kind of existence was this Jin Yong Wuxia's system that it could defy the heavens? Xiang Yun couldn't help but feel a strong sense of curiosity towards this system!
Could it be that the martial arts manuals in Jin Yong's novels were all there? Then how powerful would the legendary martial arts be if he practiced the Great Art of Absorption, the Nine Solitary Swords, the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, and the other supernatural powers?
Thinking to this point, Xiang Yun's heart immediately burned with fervor. As a bone gray level Gold Consonance fan, he had dreamed countless times about possessing these divine arts, becoming a chivalrous hero like Guo Jing, Qiao Feng, Yang Tong, and Zhang Wuji who possessed peerless martial arts.
He had never thought that such a dream would actually come true one day. And if he wanted to achieve all of this, he would have to rely on the Gold Coin Wuxia System's lottery wheel!
It was a pity that Jin Yong was drawing once a month. He was drawing for the seventh day of the second month and would have to wait until the seventh day of the third month to draw again. It was still early.
However, this system had already become the foundation of Xiang Yun's life in this foreign world. He secretly made up his mind that in the future, he must keep this a secret and not tell anyone else about it. Otherwise, such a mysterious thing might bring about a disaster.
Just as Xiang Yun's thoughts were turning, the old man turned his head and lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, stretching out his head as he spoke to Xiang Yun with an expression of admiration.
The feeling this old man gave people was very strange. Although he was just a coachman, even the wild and rampant Xiang Yun of the past would not have any ill feelings towards this coachman, much less oppress him.
He often chatted with this old man, regardless of whether his status was high or low. Old Liang liked to interact with Xiang Yun as well, and the two of them seemed to have forgotten their youth.
Faced with Old Liang's teasing words, Xiang Yun smiled bitterly, "Old Liang, stop laughing at me. I've been so greedy this time that I've actually been drunk for three days and three nights now. I'm even smoking now. It seems like my drinking habits will have to be improved in the future."
"Don't!" Old Liang shook his head and said, "Prince, drinking wine is a beautiful thing in the world, not a problem. You can already be so magnanimous at such a young age, but in the end, you are reborn just as you woke up."
Xiang Yun looked at Old Liang. Seeing that this old man still had a smile on his face and no strange expression on his face, Xiang Yun finally relaxed.
Xiang Yun had originally wanted to say that he was fine, but after some thought, he frowned and said, "It's not bad. Other than my head feeling a little dizzy and my limbs feeling a little sore, everything else is fine.
"Oh!" Hearing this, the smile on Old Liang's face did not waver as he sized up Xiang Yun with a playful gaze. His clear and limpid gaze that seemed to see through people's hearts caused Xiang Yun to unconsciously feel a little diffident in his heart.
I came to see you the other day when you were drunk. Oh, don't mention the wine fragrance on your body, Old Liang. I've been drinking wine for most of my life, and this is the second time I've seen such a fragrant wine, but I've never had a chance to taste it. Where did you buy it from?
However, Xiang Yun had no Five Poison Wine for this old fellow to drink. He could only laugh dryly and say, "Old Liang, this wine isn't easy to make. I've spent a great deal of effort to get this one, only having this one jar left, but there's no more. Furthermore, I've already finished all this wine."
"Sigh, I knew it. I knew it!" The moment Old Liang heard Xiang Yun say that the wine had already been drunk and that he had no share left, he immediately beat his chest in disappointment, feeling heartache as if his parents had died.
"That's enough. You old fogey, it's just that you haven't tasted anything delicious. Next time there's such a good wine, I'll definitely treat you to it."
"Master, you are serious!" Hearing this, Old Liang's eyes lit up with a look of pleasant surprise.
"Oh, you're really a grandpa. You're really magnanimous. If there really is such a beautiful wine, then I, Old Liang, will follow you in the future. Whatever you want to do, you can do it!"
Xiang Yun looked at Old Liang's fawning expression, a naughty smile appearing on his face.
"Cough cough!" Old Liang had been happily raising the wine belt in his hand to take a sip when he suddenly heard Xiang Yun's words. The wine in his mouth immediately spurted out from his nose, choking and coughing non-stop.
"Haha, Wan'er, look. Old Liang is so happy that he even spat out the wine he drank." Xiang Yun giggled at Lin Wan'er, who was beside him.
Lin Wan'er frowned. "Your highness, why can't you talk about this seriously? Don't you remember how you fainted last time?"
Hearing this, Old Liang, who had been standing to one side, seemed to have found Xiang Yun's tail. He wiped away the snot and wine all over his face, giving Xiang Yun a thumbs up as he spoke.
"Master, if Lady Wan-Er hadn't mentioned it, I would have really forgotten how you used to be able to protect ten women with your golden spear at night. If you hadn't fainted, you would have never been seen again."
"As for me, this rotten old man, I'll just follow you and mix around for fine wine. I still have no good fortune in this beauty!" "If I don't wake up from my faint, I won't have a place to cry." Old Liang chuckled strangely, laughing heartless.
Xiang Yun only shook his head at Old Liang, saying, "Old Liang, this young master has changed his face now. This brothel's vulgar and ordinary powder really won't be able to move this young master's heart."
"Oh, there's actually such a thing?" Old Liang stared at Xiang Yun in disbelief, as if he had seen the sun rise from the west. Even Lin Wan'er had turned to look at Xiang Yun in astonishment.
He then turned to look at Lin Wan'er, sizing her up before turning to Old Liang and saying, "I feel that those ordinary and ordinary girls outside are like clouds and mud compared to my Wan'er. I'd better treat her well, and take her in as my wife in the future!"
He pursed his lips at Xiang Yun, then secretly gave a thumbs up. Finally, this fellow made an unnecessary move and said, "Your Highness has good eyesight. Not only is Lady Wan'er beautiful, but her b.u.t.tocks are also well-bred!"
Xiang Yun raised his head haughtily as he said, "That's true. In the future, my Wan'er and I will have a big fat kid. No, it's a pair of dragon-phoenixes!"
Lin Wan'er, who was in the carriage, had long since turned her head and ran to the corner of the carriage. She covered her ears with her hands and muttered, "I'm not listening, I'm not listening!"
Xiang Yun and Old Liang chatted and laughed on the carriage, leaving a long rut mark on the snow which stretched all the way to Silver City. When they were almost at the north gate of Silver City and saw the gradually growing outline of the huge black city, Xiang Yun's heart suddenly began to tense up for no reason.
"What's going on?" Xiang Yun was secretly puzzled within his heart, not understanding how he had gotten so nervous. However, he soon understood that this was probably due to him fusing with another Xiang Yun's memories. This' Silver City 'was not a good place in Xiang Yun's memories.
Ever since his father had taught him a lesson, Xiang Yun had practically been continuously scolded and punished. Furthermore, it was an incomparably heavy punishment.
His father had never shown the slightest mercy when dealing with him. He had sent him flying out of the manor with a single palm strike and had almost knocked over the wall. One time, he had even almost gotten a better understanding of himself with a blade.
Thinking back on these tragic experiences, Xiang Yun couldn't help but inwardly mutter to himself, "How the f * ck is this my father? He's practically my enemy!"
It was only at this moment that he finally understood why Xiang Yun had felt such a heavy shadow over Silver City and such deep fear for his father. In his subconscious, he had no desire whatsoever to get close to the people and events here.
Seemingly sensing the nervousness and unease within Xiang Yun's heart, Lin Wan'er who was at the side lightly grabbed Xiang Yun's arm and said, "Your Highness, it's Your Highness' birthday today. Your Highness hasn't seen you for over a year, so he definitely won't criticize you for anything.
In Xiang Yun's previous life, he had been a fatherless child who had been raised and raised by his grandfather. He had no concept whatsoever of parents, so he naturally did not feel any sense of closeness or fear towards them.
Although he was affected by Heir Xiang's memories, he quickly regained his composure. A trace of curiosity and dissatisfaction towards this father who was related to him by blood had arisen within him.
What kind of person could sit at such a high position and be regarded as a G.o.d of war by the officials of a country? And why was he so ruthless and heartless to his own blood?
"Since I've already become the Xiang Yun of this world, then I won't let you suffer any more humiliation, even if it's my own father!"
"Silver City, I, Xiang Yun, have returned!" Xiang Yun resolutely stared at the majestic city!
