Gouwei's past
945 Words
They were halfway there when Gouwei asked.
"Brother Rui, since when, can you use wings?
"When we had to do push-ups, Brother Ji and I went to the forest where Brother Ji showed me how to create wings.
"Oh... That reminded me, brother Ji, why do you use wings in the wind instead of fire?" Gouwei asked.
" Rui, can you answer his question?" Jong Ji asked.
" Sure! I guess that the reason why brother Ji uses wind wings that when he uses fire wings, he is much faster. Probably we will not be able to keep with his speed. Is my guess correct, brother Ji?"
" You are right. I am impressed!" Jong Ji praised Rui.
They kept traveling, and in one hour, they reached the front gate of the city. The front gate was well guarded. In the front of the gate, there were many traps, for the protection of the wild beasts. There were no worries that humans will come because the forest started from there.
The forest is spread all over Ghost Mountain. On the other side of the mountain was the end of that part of the continent. Also from there until the view reached, was the sea.
There were just two guards in the front of the gate. The gate was pretty big and heavy, but the gate was opening with a mechanism from inside.
The guards wore heavy armor and helmets, with two big spears in their hands.
When they saw how Jong Ji, Gouwei, and Rui landing they become upset. How Jong Ji and the others were approaching them, they pointed their spears to Jong Ji. Gouwei noticed how the guards are upset, so he stepped forward.
" Identify yourself, strangers!" One of the guards shouted.
" I am Gouwei, grandson of the elder Bai! Also, an elite discipline. We were in the Ghost mountain to train for the treasure hunt.!"
" Do you have any proof?" Guards asked.
Gouwei, Jong Ji, and Rui pulled out their elite tokens( the tokens that only elite disciplines have.)
" Is this enough?" Gouwei asked.
The guards stopped in attitude and shouted. " We are sorry for not recognizing you. Sir, please forgive us!"
" It's no problem. After all, you are doing your job!" Gouwei showed a pretty deep understanding of the guards.
The guards gave the signal to the guards to the other side of the gate. They activated the mechanism and opened the gate.
Jong Ji and the others crossed the gate. When they were a little farther from the gate Jong Ji said.
" Gouwei looks like that you have a deep understanding of the guards."
Rui looked like he was thinking something. Then he said." Also, I noticed that they respected you more than they need to respect an elite discipline, and I think that that is not because you are a grandson of an elder."
" You are right Rui. That was because of my father. He was a general of the guards. It's happened that I very often was visiting my father, so every one of the guards knows me. Even though that I was just a little kid, I made great relationships with everyone." Gouwei said this, but he didn't look happy.
" Why are you sad, Gouwei? You should be happy. You have a great father!" Rui tries to cheer him up.
" I had a great father, but not anymore. He died two years ago. The fire demon killed my father." Gouwei was sad.
" I had a great father, but not anymore. He died two years ago. The fire demon killed my father." Gouwei was sad.
" Fire demon! You mean the fire demon who destroyed the guard's office?" Rui was very shocked.
" Yes, and because my father was general of the guards, he was in the office. Also, I was with him. If I was not there, he would survive. My father wanted to protect me, so he was not focused on fighting the fire demon."
" Who is the fire demon?" Jong Ji asked.
" He was the right hand of my father. The person who my father believed the most. Rumors say that he was possessed by a demon, so he destroyed everything on his way. Even though my father was extreme nirvana realm, he was no match to that demon. That demon was defeated by the clan leader, which was a hard battle, where the clan leader was badly hurt. But luckily, the wound is healed. If not, the other clans would take the action, and destroy our clan.
" Ohh... I am sorry for bringing you back bad memories, Gouwei." Jong Ji apologized.
"It's alright, brother Ji. You didn't do that on purpose."
" Ohh... That Reminded me, brother Ji how is possible, that you don't know about fire demon." Rui asked.
" It's simple. I am not from here."
" You are not from here! Then from where are you?" Gouwei asked.
" To be honest. I don't know from where am I." Jong Ji didn't want to reveal his secret so he decided to lie.
" You don't know? How is that possible?" Gouwei and Rui were shocked.
" Since I know about myself, I and my family was traveling around the continent."
" Ohh... Then tell us more about your's journeys!" Both of them were interested in Jong Ji.
Jong JI didn't know what to say, so he ended the conversation." Let's leave these stories for another time."
Then no long after, they arrived in front of the main hall. They entered inside, where the elders waited for them.
