Ten-Mile Maple Forest, a thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye, and a thousand years have changed.
Guigui has grown up a bit, and he has followed his father in reading, reading, and practicing martial arts.
Ning Chen taught Guigui everything he knew, including the art of war, the way of the sword, and the way of being a human being.
A thousand years of time is out of reach for mortals, but for Great Dao Saint, it is just a snap of the fingers.
The longevity of a saint is almost endless. Although Guigui is not a saint, he is the only Holy Embryo in the world. Even after a thousand years, his appearance has not changed much, except that he has grown slightly.
Just like a four or five-year-old child in the world, Guigui has also begun to become a little naughty. He often teases some small animals of Little Gourd and Ten-Mile Maple Forest. Sometimes, he runs out by himself and does not come back until sunset.
Ning Chen gave Guigui the greatest freedom. He only taught Guigui some principles of being a human being. The rest was left to Guigui to experience on his own.
During the millennium, Golden Tent Royal Court, which once destroyed Great Xia, also changed dynasties several times. War broke out again and again, and peace was always hard-won.
War and peace have become the eternal cycle of reincarnation in the world, time and time again, and no one can change it.
From a young boy to Great Dao Saint, the prosperous EMI that Ning Chen has always wanted to see has never come. As long as there are people, the war seems to never stop.
However, even so, Ning Chen still did not give up, waiting for the arrival of EMI's prosperous era.
"Daddy, big fish."
At this time, outside Ten-Mile Maple Forest, Guigui came running with a fish about the same size as himself in his arms, and said with excitement on his little face.
"Slow down, don't fall."
Ning Chen said with a peaceful smile on his face.
"Dad, let's have grilled fish tonight."
Guigui said with an expectant look on his face.
"Yeah."
Ning Chen nodded and responded softly.
As night fell, a bonfire was lit in front of the wooden house. Ning Chen set up a stand on the bonfire to grill fish for Guigui.
Guigui sat aside obediently, looking eagerly at the big fish on the bonfire, so greedy that his saliva almost dropped.
At this moment, in front of the bonfire, Ning Chen looked slightly condensed and looked at the maple forest not far away.
The dark night sky obscured the view. In the maple forest, behind a big tree, a little girl in tattered clothes was hiding there timidly. Her eyes were looking longingly ahead, but she was hungry, but she did not dare to step forward.
It can be seen that the little girl has not eaten for a long time, her dress and shoes are damaged, and she looks very pitiful.
"Guigui, there is a young lady over there who seems to be hungry. Can you ask her to come eat fish with you?"
In front of the bonfire, Ning Chen spoke up and said.
Guigui heard this and looked towards the maple forest. When he saw the little girl, he nodded obediently and said, "Okay."
After saying that, Guigui stood up and trotted towards Maple Forest.
Not long after, Guigui pulled the little girl over. After the little girl saw Ning Chen, she was still a little scared and did not dare to speak.
Ning Chen was not in a hurry, he just smiled at the little girl, tore off a small piece of fish meat and handed it to the little girl.
"Eat."
The aroma of the fish wafted in the night wind, so tempting that the little girl who had been hungry for two days could not resist the temptation of food, so she took the fish and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Don't worry, there's more here."
Ning Chen tore off another piece of fish meat from the campfire, handed it to the little girl, and said softly.
The little girl took the fish and ate it, tears streaming down her face.
"Sister, don't cry."
On the side, Guigui stretched out his hand and wiped away the tears on the little girl's face, saying with childishness.
The little girl of unknown origin added a touch of change to this quiet night. Every time the little girl finished a piece of fish, Ning Chen handed over another piece until the little girl shook her head and said no more.
The fish Guigui brought back was very big, and the little girl didn't eat much. Guigui still finished most of the remaining fish.
The little girl watched Guigui finish the fish that was about the same size as them, with a look of surprise on her little face.
"Daddy said you should eat more when you are growing taller."
Guigui handed the last piece of fish meat in his hand to the little girl and said.
"I can't eat any more."
The little girl shook her head slightly and said.
Guigui After hearing this, he ate the last piece of fish.
"What's your name?"
After the two of them had eaten, Ning Chen wiped the oil on their hands and asked.
"Butterfly."
The little girl replied timidly.
Ning Chen stared hard, quickly recovered his mind, and said, "Where are your parents?"
Hearing the former question, the little girl shed tears again in her eyes and said, "Fight and die."
Ning Chen was silent, and after a moment, he said, "From now on, you can follow me, are you willing?"
Hearing this, Butterfly was startled for a moment, then came to his senses, nodded vigorously and said, "Yes."
Although the little girl is young, she also understands that in these troubled times, it is impossible for her to survive alone. The benefactor in front of her is willing to take her in, which is equivalent to saving her life.
Ning Chen had a faint smile on his face and said nothing more.
In the following days, Ten-Mile Maple Forest had a little girl. Although she was only four or five years old, she was more sensible than Guigui.
Butterfly is very grateful and takes great care of the naughty Guigui.
Guigui is naturally happy to have an additional sister to take care of him, and follows the butterfly like a little tail every day.
In ordinary days, Ning Chen not only teaches two little guys how to read and write, but also practices martial arts and Daoism.
However, in terms of martial arts, Ning Chen taught them two different things.
Guigui is extremely talented and can master everything at once, so Ning Chen can teach more.
Relatively speaking, Butterfly's talent in martial arts was much lower, and Ning Chen only taught one kind of martial arts.
Knife skills.
Even Ning Chen himself doesn't know the ultimate in swordsmanship, and the only Blade God in the world has fallen.
I don't know if it's a coincidence or something, but Butterfly's understanding of sword skills is different from ordinary people's. It can be said that he is making great progress with each passing day.
Just seven days before Butterfly's tenth birthday, Ning Chen left Ten-Mile Maple Forest for a day. When he came back, he brought back a black thing, which looked like stone but not stone, and looked like iron but not iron.
In the next seven days, Ning Chen was very busy every day. Every time Guigui came forward, he would be scolded and sent away.
Guigui felt aggrieved, but didn't bother him anymore.
During these seven days, Butterfly took care of Guigui alone, and it took a lot of effort to make the aggrieved little guy happy.
Finally, on the butterfly's tenth birthday, a black Crimson Blade appeared in Ning Chen's hand. The blade was long and narrow, and the handle was gorgeous, like a butterfly, blooming with sharpness.
When Butterfly saw her birthday gift, the tears in her eyes could no longer be suppressed, and they fell down little by little.
"Sister, let me take a look."
Guigui looked at Crimson Blade, his little face full of envy, and said expectantly.
Butterfly handed Crimson Blade to Guigui and said softly, "Guigui will also be there in the future."
