a ruthless swordsman

198.

"When he was in Jianzong, everyone called him Xiaochun, like a kitten or puppy, who would come and go when he called him. It was not until he left Jianzong and established his own family that he became famous. It has been almost 19 years now. There are not many people in Jianghu who remember him."

"His name is Jiang Fengchun. In addition to the youngest son in the womb of the concubine, he already had a seven-year-old eldest son." My father sat down again, holding the teacup with his fingers, and said lightly: "Xuechu, this matter should not have happened. Let you know, but since you don't know much about it, father has no choice but to tell you these old things. As for Jiang Yufeng, his hatred is understandable, it is father who implicated you."

Dad, you misunderstood, if you didn't tell me, I really don't know anything...

"No matter how much you know from Jiang Yufeng, Ling'er is innocent, and you should not alienate him."

"..." Dad, you have misunderstood.

It's not the reason you think I'm alienating Xie Ling!

Sovereign Chang left just like that, thinking that he was very considerate to keep me in the warm pavilion, and asked me to calm down.

I still held the two volumes of "Baoxiang Jing" in my hand, and my mood was overwhelmed, and I struggled to digest it.

The so-called dead wood sect turned out to be just Jiang Yufeng's wish, and the dead wood is in spring. Unfortunately, except for my father, no one understood his deep meaning.

As for why Jiang Yufeng slaughtered my whole family in his previous life, the whole story is here.

199.

Most things in this world are limited by cause and effect.

Chang Shaoxia's friendship with Xiaochun reveals the reason why Jianzong's forbidden book is hidden, and the result is Xiaochun's stealing of treasures.

The cause of Xiaochun leaving the mountain with the dossier, and the result of being subject to the backlash brought about by the exercises.

Chang Shaoxia makes amends for his mistakes, killing his old friends is the cause, and raising his posthumous child is the result.

Jiang Yufeng quietly appeared in Cuifeng Mountain to avenge his father, and the reason why he still couldn't escape the cycle of 20 years ago.

My father killed his father, and he seeks revenge on my father. It is human nature to pay for his life with his life.

If I am left alive, I will seek revenge from him again. In ten or twenty years, his son will stand before me with a sword, and this cycle will repeat. The plan of revenge may be passed down for a hundred years, and it will continue for a long time.

He simply killed me one more time, cut the weeds and roots, and went to be with my father.

All in all, Jiang Yufeng has every reason and motivation to kill me.

This is easy to understand.

but--

Xiaochun stole the volume, caused troubles in the world, and took countless lives on his hands. Was he not wrong?

Chang Shaoxia obeyed his master's last words, retrieved the stolen volume, and took Xiaochun's life during the fight. Did he do the right thing?

I don't understand.

200.

If you don’t understand, then don’t want to.

I collected the two volumes of "Baoxiang Jing" and wandered aimlessly on Cuifeng Mountain.

The senior brothers passing by enthusiastically said: "Little junior brother, are you going to deliver something to Senior Brother Li?"

Remind me.

There are countless things I can't figure out, and now I have to add one more.

The third senior brother had no grievances with Jiang Yufeng, the killing intent of that sword was thick and piercing, as if the third senior brother was his father-killing enemy, why is this?

Counting the number of days, the end of the month is the day that I made an appointment with my third brother, but I was full of worries, so I walked to the entrance of the bamboo forest outside Jianya without knowing it.

As soon as I stepped into the sword cliff, I felt as if I had been stabbed in the head by a sword, and my knees were cold and weak uncontrollably.

201.

Tai Sujian sank quietly in the dead leaves, and the three senior brothers lay down on the cold stone slab with their clothes together, the wind blowing through their sleeves made a rustling sound.

Trembling, I walked to him step by step, knelt down and lifted the third senior brother into my arms: "...Senior brother?"

He was thinner again, his face was almost as white as his body, and his weak breath instantly calmed me down, tears welled up.

Xu Shi noticed the water dripping on his face, and the third senior brother frowned slightly, and opened his black and white eyes.

I couldn't wait for him to speak, wiped away my tears, shook my head violently and said: "Senior brother, senior brother, if this sword technique can easily harm you like this, then we won't practice it anymore. Didn't my father also practice it well? You don't have to work so hard!" of!"

Not only this time, last time, last time, every time I saw Third Senior Brother, he pretended nothing happened.I can't see the other side, but the sunken cheeks and dwindling appetite are real.

I naturally want the third senior brother to improve his swordsmanship and inherit the position of suzerain.

But I prefer him to be happy and safe, to live well, for a long time, and to live in peace for a hundred years.

The third senior brother's cold eyes gradually focused, coughed lowly, and said without taking his eyes off: "Little junior brother, you are here."

"If I don't come, I don't know how long you will keep it from me!"

He stood up and raised his hand to gently wipe away the wet traces at the end of my eyes.It's still winter, I hurriedly took off my cloak, went around and put it on his shoulders, the third senior brother seemed to be about to say something, but I snuffed out the sign.

I rushed over and hugged him, and said angrily, "Even if you have your own opinions and can endure pain more than ordinary people, you can't tell others about everything. My father will reprimand you, but I won't."

"...Xiao Chu." The third senior brother paused, not knowing how to deal with my accusation, he twisted: "Don't cry, don't get angry."

The golden round sun was falling through the clouds, and at dusk, the golden light seeped into the bamboo forest and fell behind us.He patted me on the back tenderly, and said slowly: "Senior brother is not determined, and he failed the long-term expectations of the master. I am afraid that he will never have the chance to use this ruthless formula in the future."

My arms around Third Senior Brother's waist froze immediately, and I moved both hands together, hugged one of his arms, pursed my lips and said, "...OK."

His eyes were calm and unwavering, his eyelashes lowered, looking in the direction of Taisu sword.

Although I was the first to say that I would not practice the ruthless art, but when the word "renunciation" came out of his mouth, even though the third senior brother looked calm, neither happy nor sad...

For him, it was always a breakup.

"If you don't practice, don't practice, brother, don't stay in Jianya, it's cold and empty here, come back with me."

I tried my best to calm down, raised my face and smiled at him with curved lips, so as to make the atmosphere less dignified.

The twilight is like a mayfly, and the thin beams add a golden girdle to the white clothes.

The third senior brother picked up the Taisu sword, stood up slowly, turned half of his face and said: "Xiao Chu, let's go."

202.

Brother Li came out of retreat.

The third senior brother and I had just walked from Jianya to the ancestral hall when the urgent letter reached my father.

Soon he saw the third senior brother in person, and heard with his own ears that his beloved disciple claimed that he could not practice the ruthless formula, and that he was ashamed of his master and seniors.

In fact, I don't think it's a big deal. My father is 45 this year, and there is plenty of room for him to train a few well-educated apprentices himself. It just so happens that I can get rid of the title of "little junior brother" and become a serious senior brother.

No matter how bad it is, both Xie Ling and I can go try and practice this ruthless formula. There are not enough unintentional things in the world, maybe the patriarch's old eyes fell on me.

As far back as I can remember, the third senior brother never took the initiative to say no.

He gave up the ruthless sword, which means that it is really difficult, and I don't want to see him so sad.

My father was quite sad at first. He could not blame the third senior brother, and he missed the opportunity to pass on the sword manual again. He was in grief. Hearing me speak so boldly, he immediately regarded me as his use Exhaust sieve.

Sect Master Chang stared, I knew exactly what to say next.

Which piece of cloud cake are you?

Take it as an offering to the patriarch, he may not be willing to enjoy it.

His Mai Tai was on the verge of his mouth, Huang Shen glanced at the third senior brother, and swallowed the words back.

The third senior brother stuck his palms into his clothes, how my father handed him the ruthless formula a few months ago, and how he handed it back to my father intact.

My father sighed deeply and didn't say anything, he only asked my two senior brothers to go back together, and also said a few words of comfort to the third senior brother.Tell him not to feel guilty and blame himself. It is a good thing to pass it on, but it does not have to be tough and practice, it is more important to live comfortably.

The lights are reflected in the window, and the mountains are full of fallen flowers.

We walked to the back mountain path, neither of us spoke, I endured and endured, I couldn't hold back, and asked curiously: "Senior brother, what is the matter with the ruthless formula? I saw that your figure is getting thinner and your complexion is not good. , but it takes too much energy to practice?"

The footsteps did not stop, the curvature of the third senior brother's shoulders and necks resembled a lonely blue crane. After a long time, he finally opened his mouth, but he did not answer the question.

"Junior Brother, if one day I cease to be a disciple on Cuifeng Mountain, will you blame me?"

No, let me calm down.

This thoughtless question directly hit my head dizzy.

I was apprehensive, so I quickly walked halfway past him, stood in the middle of the road and said arrogantly, "No way!"

The third senior brother was startled, raised his lips slightly, and showed a faint smile: "Junior brother, I have retreated in Jianya for April, do you know why I can't go any further?"

I fuck.

Don't laugh at me!

You must know that there are usually only two possibilities for people who don't like to smile. One is that their complexion is much better when they know they are not smiling than when they are smiling, and the other is that this person has a cold face at all.

The third senior brother is obviously the latter.

I don't see him smiling very often, and it's rare to meet someone who doesn't show his emotions showing a smile.

It doesn't matter.

What matters is the face of the third senior brother.

Beauty misleads people!Beauty misleads people!

I spurned myself a bit, and let Kailu say angrily, "I don't know."

The third senior brother continued to move forward, "The Ruthless Sword and the Ruthless Jue, you have to let go of love in the world, so that you can achieve great success. How can a person with love in his heart be able to practice this kind of exercise, it will only backfire and disturb his mind."

What is he talking about?

I got it right!
