Nomenclature of Night

  Chapter 342 Li Ke, ask the heart

"I'm very puzzled. Your memorial service will be in three days' time, and you will have to be cremated by then. If we go to No. 002 Forbidden Land, it will take at least half a month, or even longer," Qing Chen said seriously: " You may not be back in time for cremation."

  The old man said unhappily: "Are you speaking human language? I have to go through this process?"

  Qing Chen said: "At the funeral, everyone has to say goodbye to your body. If you run away now, will everyone say goodbye to the air? There will definitely be problems."

   "Don't worry about it," the old man waved his hand: "It's easy to imitate an identical corpse at the current level of technology. When the time comes to cover the crystal coffin, who would dare to open it for inspection?"

   "However, if the ashes are not yours, wouldn't it be a fake Li Xiurui who will be worshiped by the descendants of the Li family on Ching Ming Festival? You won't receive the burnt paper either," Qing Chen wondered.

   "Can you think of something about Yangjian?" The old man said, "Stop talking to me, hurry up!"

   Li Ke stood weakly by the side, completely unaware of what was going on.

  He looked at Qing Chen for a while, and the old man for a while.

   Confused and flustered.

  Grandpa, who had passed away just now, suddenly came back to life.

   Everyone just cried for four hours, isn’t it for nothing?

and.

  Although he knew that his grandfather and his teacher Mr. Xi knew each other, and to the extent that he could give it to Arowana, he didn't expect that the conversation between the husband and his grandfather could be so casual.

  Besides, Grandpa seems to be a different person, he doesn't have the majesty of the past, just like a skinny old man next door, and his speech is no longer so rigorous and cautious, just like gossip.

  Who is Li Ke's grandfather?

  Just a few hours ago, this old man was still the head of the Li family, holding one-fifth of the power in the Federation, and able to determine the future of hundreds of millions of people.

  On weekdays, who is not trembling and respectful when seeing this old man?

  The old man looked at Li Ke with a half-smile: "Have you never seen such a grandpa?"

  Li Ke nodded: "I feel like you are a fake."

   "Just get used to it," the old man said with a smile, "I've been bound by one identity for most of my life, and it's a kind of sadness and luck to be able to be myself now. I hope you don't follow my old path."

  Li Ke was stunned for a moment, the Patriarch, whom everyone envied, actually didn't like that position.

At this time, Qing Chen said: "Don't be too busy educating your grandson, I still have something to ask here. You can naturally go out through the secret passage now, but what about me? Where is Li Ke? We have to tell the outside world if we suddenly disappear. a statement?"

   "Just worry about unnecessary things, don't worry, the Privy Council has already prepared documents to approve your travel, and Li Yunshou will help you forge the entry and exit records," said the old man.

Qing Chen said in his heart that this entry and exit record is really unreliable: "Then let's go... Let me be honest, if you don't receive the Zhunti method empowerment, you probably won't have a chance to come back. So, would you like to take another look at it?" This half-mountain manor?"

  The old man waved his hand: "No need, I've been tired of watching it for most of my life."

   After finishing speaking, he walked into the house and opened the secret passage, Li Ke was stunned, he still didn't know that the Autumn Leaf House had hidden secrets.

  Today was too magical for the young Li Ke. In just a few hours, the amount of information made him dumbfounded.

  Three people entered the secret passage and walked through the long 2.7-kilometer passage. Li Ke was like a curious baby, touching this and that for a while.

"Grandpa, did you build this secret path?" He asked, "Why did you build this secret path... By the way, you used to come here every year to mourn your teacher, just to leave this secret path, right? Are you going outside to do important things, such as meeting with the Qing family or the Chen family's bigwigs?"

  Qing Chen was about to say something, but the old man coughed suddenly: "Hmm, cough, cough, since you have already faked your death, don't mention those things in the past!"

  He was implying that Qing Chen should keep some privacy for himself. After all, Li Ke is his most beloved grandson, and there are some things that should be kept or kept.

  Qing Chen curled his lips, the people the old man went out to meet, he probably didn't know, anyway, they were not from the Qing and Chen consortia.

  The three of them came to the end of the corridor. The old man chose a key and said, "Just open it. I asked Li Yunjing to take care of it a few days ago, and all the parts that should be replaced have been replaced with new ones."

   "Your car, you have the final say." Qing Chen didn't even go to see what the seven cars were, mainly because he didn't find out where the parking lot in the community of Microcosmic World was!

  Qing Chen went to open the closet on his own, and showed the firearms in the dark compartment behind the wall.

  He chose three automatic rifles, three pistols, and three small boxes full of ammunition from it.

  The old man frowned: "Are you going to fight?"

Qing Chen glanced at him: "At first I thought that Li Yunjing would follow you to protect you, but in the end you let him go free, so I have to prepare some means to save my life? Once someone finds out that you are not dead, do you know what will happen to you?" What kind of horrible people will come to hunt us down?"

  The old man laughed happily: "I am no longer the head of the family. What's the point of them killing me as a dead person? But seeing how well-prepared you are, then please."

  The next moment, Qing Chen looked at Li Ke: "Before going to No. 002 Forbidden Land, there is one more thing to do, Li Ke, sit cross-legged on the ground."

  The old man said from the side: "Are you officially accepting him as a disciple? Li Ke, kowtow to your master."

  Li Ke was stunned for a moment, then knelt down with a thud, and seriously knocked his head three times. His head hit the floor with a thumping sound, which hurt when he heard it.

  Qing Chen looked at the old man: "We knights don't like kowtow."

   "It doesn't matter, he has already kowtowed to you, if something happens to him in the future, you must help him," said the old man.

  Qing Chen: "..."

  However, Li Ke suddenly raised his head when he heard this conversation: "Knight?"

   His heart was tumbling, it seemed that the word "knight" had a unique charm for Li's children!

   Li Ke looked at his grandfather, then at Qing Chen.

  Before that, the old man only said that he wanted him to be a teacher, but he didn't explicitly say that Qing Chen was a knight!

  What happened at the moment was really a surprise to Li Ke!

   "Master, what is your relationship with Seventh Uncle?" Li Ke asked curiously.

  Qing Chen looked at Li Ke, and patiently explained: "Your seventh uncle Li Shutong is my master, and from today onwards, your seventh uncle is your master..."

  The old man raised his eyebrows when he heard this. What a mess, why is Li Shutong suddenly the same generation as himself? !

  Qing Chen looked at the old man: "This is the grandson you chose yourself. It doesn't matter to me if the seniority is messed up. It stands to reason that you should choose a great-grandson."

  The old man said unhappily: "Let's start quickly."

   After speaking, Qing Chen pinched Li Ke's pulse.

  The young Li Ke looked at Qing Chen opposite and suddenly exhaled like an arrow, while he himself fell into endless pain.

  The old man held his breath. The last time he saw this scene was decades ago, when Li Shutong was accepted as an apprentice by his friend.

  The next moment, flame lines bloomed on both sides of Li Ke's cheeks, and his brows frowned into the word 'Chuan'.

   Qing Chen watched silently, he was very worried that Li Ke would not be able to get through the questioning.

  If Hu Xiaoniu can’t make it through, then he can go another way and wait until all eight life-and-death tests are completed before being promoted to A-level. But if Li Ke can’t make it through, the knight’s path will be considered broken for him.

  In his heart, Li Ke seemed to have returned to his childhood.

  At the age of 6, he entered Li's Academy and became the best student there.

  At the age of 18, he was admitted to the Tinder Military Academy and became the best student there.

  22 years old, he entered the Federal Army as a lieutenant.

   He was promoted to major at the age of 26.

  Afterwards, he was recalled to the Banshan Manor by his family and entered the Privy Council to work.

  The family arranged a marriage partner for him. The girl is very beautiful, but they have no feelings for each other.

  He tried to establish a relationship with the other party, and the other party also tried to please him in every possible way.

   But just when he thought everything was going in a good direction, the wife called someone else's name in his dream.

   Li Ke asked the intelligence office to investigate, and it was his wife's first love.

  At the age of 34, he became a director of the Privy Council and began to really participate in family affairs. The outside media began to call him Li's prince.

  However, there are only one document after another in his life, and in his eyes, there are only the eyes of others who are in awe of him.

  Li Ke was sitting in the office at midnight, approving documents non-stop, and then chatting with various people in the bureaucratic accent he was just proficient in.

   When there was no one in the office, he suddenly felt.

   Do you want to spend the remaining decades of your life in such a boring way?

  At the age of 48, he took over the authority of the head of the house from his father.

  From then on, he rarely left the Banshan Manor, and no matter where he went, he never met a person who told him the truth.

  At the age of 60, Li Ke began to feel that his body no longer belonged to him, but belonged to his illness. The trauma left in the army in the early years began to torture his body and soul.

  80 years old, he is full of children and grandchildren.

  The children at home suddenly took out a birthday cake and asked him to make a wish.

   But at that moment, Li Ke thought for a long time, as if he had forgotten what the wish he had made but not realized was.

  By the way, it seems like becoming a knight.

   That was a wish he would make every year, but it was never fulfilled.

  At that moment, Li Ke's spirit suddenly became sluggish, as if all his strength was drained all of a sudden, he seemed to lack interest in doing anything, and his life no longer had meaning.

  At the age of 90, he lay in a hospital bed and realized that he was about to die.

  At a certain moment, Li Ke suddenly realized that when he closed his eyes again, maybe he would really die.

  Beside the hospital bed, his grandson asked softly: "Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"

  Li Ke is thinking, in fact, his wish has never been fulfilled. In his whole life, he has been just being a "person expected by others", and has never been himself.

   Such a long life is really difficult.

  But at this time, a young man walked in from outside the ward, facing the sunlight outside the window, and stood in front of him.

  The voice that belonged to Qing Chen suddenly asked him, are you willing to trade everything you once had for a chance to become a knight?

  Are you willing to let go of your power, climb a mountain, watch a snowstorm, and chase a dream?

   Li Ke said yes with tears streaming down his face.

  It wasn't until this moment that he remembered that he was in Wenxin, entered here decades ago, and forgot everything outside of Wenxin.

   It took Li Ke almost a century to finally find his deepest wish.

   After an unknown amount of time passed in the dark room, Li Ke suddenly opened his eyes and said softly, "Master."

  Qing Chen smiled, very happily: "Congratulations."

   This means that the inheritance of knights in the other world is not broken!

  The old man asked curiously, "Is this considered too much?"

   "Of course," Qing Chen nodded.

   "What if you can't get through?" the old man asked.

   "If you can't make it through, you will die," Qing Chen said, and he looked at Li Ke: "Are you asking what happened in your heart? It took so long?"

   Li Ke glanced at his watch, 24 hours had passed.

  He looked at Qing Chen and asked, "Master, can I not say it?"

   "Yes," Qing Chen rubbed his head: "Questioning is every knight's own secret, you don't need to say it."

   It seems that Qing Chen never mentioned it to Li Shutong. In fact, he was abandoned by his mother once when he was very young.

   "Let's go," Qing Chen said with a smile, "Let's go to No. 002 Forbidden Land."

   After speaking, he changed his appearance and walked out.

   Li Ke looked at Qing Chen's back in a daze. He was thinking, if he was lying on the hospital bed at the age of 90, that boy hadn't opened the door to come in.

  Is he really dead?

  Li Ke always felt that this questioning heart was not passed by himself, but by this very young master who helped him to cross it.

  In the long dream of Wenxin, when the other party walked into the ward, his body seemed to be covered with a layer of light.

  At this time, Qing Chen turned around at the door and smiled and asked, "Why are you standing there, let's go."

   "Oh," Li Ke came to his senses and ran out the door.

  …

  …

  In the parking lot of Microcosm.

   Qingchen looked at the huge off-road vehicle in front of him. He opened the trunk to check. There were two spare tires, four barrels of diesel, and a suitcase tied to the roof. It seemed that there were tents and emergency items needed in the wilderness.

   "You've prepared quite comprehensively," Qing Chen praised.

   This is much more prepared than when Li Shutong took him to No. 002 Forbidden Land.

  However, Qing Chen suddenly saw a ginkgo leaf logo on the body of the off-road vehicle.

  He wondered: "Isn't this the symbol of the Qing family?"

   "Yes," the old man said naturally.

Qing Chen wondered: "You, the owner of the Li family, why is there the Qing family's ginkgo leaf logo on the car? What's the matter with you being so confident? , but I have a problem!"

  The old man explained patiently: "It would be much more convenient to have a logo of the consortium when you are away from home. Moreover, in case of embarrassment, you are also a member of the Qing family. Is there any problem?"

   "Aren't you afraid of being exposed?" Qing Chen was puzzled.

  The old man smiled: "Who dares to inspect the vehicles of the consortium? The consortium doesn't even need to pass the visa for entry and exit."

   "You are really a brave person with a high level of art," Qing Chen curled his lips: "This will be exposed by the media, saying that 'the Patriarch of the Li family used the Qing's logo to commit crimes'. This will really become a big news for the entire Federation."

   "What are you afraid of, just don't be discovered!" said the old man.

   "All right," Qing Chen sighed.

  But at this time, everyone suddenly discovered a very mysterious question: who will drive?

   Qingchen will not open.

  Li Ke is still young and has never learned it.

  The master and apprentice turned their attention to the old man.

Li Xiurui raised his eyebrows: "You two little bastards, don't you want me to drive? I'm an old man in his dying years. I just want to have a relaxing and good memory in the last days of my life. You treat me like this ?!"

  Qing Chen spread his hands: "But we really don't know how to drive, so how about you drive the car to the fourth district, where we will pick up another person, and he will be the driver."

  The old man thought for a while: "This is more or less the same."

  The huge full-size off-road vehicle drove out from the microcosmic world community and was speeding all the way towards the fourth district.

  Hu Xiaoniu packed his things early. When the car stopped in front of him, he looked at the old man in the driver's seat through the window. He always felt familiar, as if he had seen it in some news...

  But for a while, I was a little bit out of tune.

  At this time, the old man had already glued a beard on himself, and he was extremely proficient.

   Moreover, who would have thought that the old man who had just died was still alive and kicking around in a punk off-road vehicle?

  Qing Chen waved to Hu Xiaoniu: "Xiaoniu get in the car, you drive."

   "Okay," Hu Xiaoniu recognized Qing Chen.

  Before this time travelling, Qing Chen specially showed him what he was going to pretend to be, and it was still Zard.

  The old man looked at Hu Xiaoniu, and then asked Qing Chen: "This is the driver you are looking for? Is it reliable?"

  Hu Xiaoniuxin said how he became a driver, but he did not refute.

  Qing Chen said: "You can rest assured, it's reliable."

   "Brother Chen, where are you going?" Hu Xiaoniu asked.

   "Leaving City No. 18 from the southern entry-exit gate, go to No. 002 Forbidden Land," Qing Chen said.

  Hu Xiaoniu was stunned for a moment, Qing Chen had never told him before that he was going to No. 002 Forbidden Land!

  The vehicle was driving south, and when passing through the entry-exit gate, Hu Xiaoniu suddenly found dozens of off-road vehicles parked in front of the gate, waiting for the staff of the Exit-Entry Administration to verify their documents.

  Hu Xiaoniu asked: "Brother Chen, where are our documents?"

  Qing Chen: "No."

  Hu Xiaoniu was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"

  The old man said: "Let's take the passage on the left and drive directly there. There is Qing's ginkgo leaf logo on the car. Although it is fake, no one will dare to check it."

  Hu Xiaoniu was a little nervous, he said to himself, old man, you admitted that the logo is fake so frankly, is there really no problem?

  Looking at the dozens of soldiers with live ammunition standing at the entry-exit gate, and drones patrolling the sky, if someone finds that there is a problem with the sign, they will be beaten into a sieve?

  However, Hu Xiaoniu looked as usual, and he stepped on the accelerator without stopping at all.

The gate at the   pass was opened, as the old man said, no one really checked it!

   At this moment, Hu Xiaoniu accidentally glanced at the passage next to him, and then froze: "Brother Chen, I saw Qi Duo and Zhang Lanjin in that convoy."

   stands for the two members of the World Freemasonry.

  …
