The Sword God of the South

Reasons to Separate Yourself

Zhang Fei finally got back up. In his heart, he really did not expect that his grandfather would help him train in swordsmanship.

Truly, this is a happiness that is hard to describe. During his life, he was never as happy as he is today.

Zhang Fei's eyes became brilliant. It was as if within his eyeballs were a very bright eastern star.

His smile is back bright. Bright as the morning sun.

"Had entered in the afternoon. It's time for us to find food" Zhang Liong said suddenly.

He then walked closer towards his two pets.

"Find me some food. As well as food for the two of you," he gave the order.

The two ferocious beasts nodded. It was as if they understood the old man's words.

As fast as lightning, the two of them instantly passed away from there. As for him and Zhang Fei, look for firewood for later.

Gone some time later, Zhang Liong's two pet beasts had returned again. Each of them brought a hunted animal.

The white monkey carries two roosters. The tiger carried an adult deer.

Zhang Liong immediately accepted the catch. He walked to the river that was around there, then cleaned the gazelle and the rooster.

On one hand, Zhang Fei was currently making a bonfire to burn the hunted animals earlier. He was accompanied by a tiger and a white monkey.

Although he still felt a little afraid of the two beasts, but Zhang Fei tried to keep getting used to it.

Moreover, now the two animals did not show any rays of hostility to him. Perhaps it was because they knew who Zhang Fei really was. Perhaps, they already knew that the child would become a new resident of the place.

Time keeps passing. The roasted forest chicken is now ripe. Mature after the sun disappears behind the green mountains.

Zhang Liong and Zhang Fei were eating the roasted forest chicken voraciously. While tigers and monkeys, also eating a large antelope.

"Grandfather, how long have you been living here?" zhang Fei asked in the middle of the meal.

"Eitherway. I forgot myself" replied the old man with a laugh. "Surely, over twenty years,"

"Twenty years? You've lived here for over twenty years?"

The young man could hardly believe his grandfather's words. He could not imagine, how could one possibly live in this kind of atmosphere, for twenty years?

With that time, was it true that his grandfather never felt bored? Did the old man really have no desire to change residence, and live in a crowded world?

"Right," Zhang Liong nodded his head and confirmed Zhang Fei's question.

"Was it that long, you never went down the mountain again?"

"No,"

"Absolutely?"

"Absolutely," he said mimicking Zhang Fei's words.

He breathed a long and heavy breath. The young man did not think, why would his grandfather want to live in the middle of a mountain like this?

Remembering this, because he could not help but be curious, he finally decided to ask directly.

"If you never go down the mountain, then how do you change your clothes? Then if you want to drink wine, where did you get that wine?"

"There's someone who's always been helping me,"

"Who is he?"

"He is Cong Lai. Commonly called the Hartawan Cong, he was a wealthy merchant in this village. In addition to trading, he also opened a goods escort agency business. Every once a month, he would definitely send people to meet all my needs" the old man replied.

It turned out that the reason was because there were people who always guaranteed his needs!

"But, Cake. During your stay here, have you ever been bored?"

Asked so, Zhang Liong suddenly smiled. He continued to eat the forest chicken thigh until it ran out. After that, answer immediately.

"My granddaughter, that boredom is definitely there. Every human being, must have been bored, and so would I, too,"

"Then, how do you handle that boredom?"

"There are many ways to deal with it. One of them is to train swordsmanship,"

"Hemm .. I still don't understand" he said, frowning.

"What don't you understand?"

"Actually, what was the reason Grandpa decided to stay in a place like this?"

"I told you, I just want to get through old age quietly,"

"I can't believe it. There must be another reason behind all this,"

Zhang Fei shook his head a few times. He's a smart kid. Therefore, he knew that there was still another reason behind his grandfather's decision to live in a quiet place.

Sure, the main reason is not that!

Zhang Liong looked at him fixedly. For a long time he kept quiet while watching.

"There really is another reason, son Fei," he said after being silent for quite a while.

Zhang Fei did not speak. He waited for his grandfather to continue.

"I was drafted to stay here, none other than for the martial world to be safe and peaceful. I had hoped that, with the disappearance of me from the crowded world, the green jungle could be calm and peaceful. Who would have thought, it turns out that my guess was wrong. It turns out true what the ancestors said, forever, the martial world will never be serene. Although there will be times like that, but it cannot last forever,"

The martial world has always been like that. Fighting and fighting between parties always happens. Every second, there will be battles in all directions.

It's just that it all depends on the small scale.

Depends on the subject!

The so-called peace does not mean that it is truly peaceful. The so-called serene, does not mean really serene anyway.

The martial world is like the world of the common man.

Every time, there are problems that happen to people. Whether it's a big problem, or a small problem.

In short, in this mortal world, there is no true peace. There is no eternal peace.

It all depends on nothing more than self-assertion. Assumption of each self!

Zhang Fei was pensive for a long time. After feeling calm, he asked again.

"Then, why did Grandpa make this decision?"

"As I told you before, the descendant of the Zhang Family who became a swordsman, must have many enemies. Not unless I'm alone. Therefore, I decided to disappear so that my enemies also disappeared. So that the martial world is safe again,"

He stopped for a moment. Zhang Liong downed the wine a few times, then immediately continued.

"Unfortunately, my guess is a big mistake. Instead of disappearing, they are becoming more and more," he said, sighing heavily.

"Then, why doesn't Grandpa come back to the crowded world?" ask Zhang Fei further

"It's not time anymore, my grandson. The task of eradicating evil, I have left it to your father. Too bad, he's short-lived, too,"
