Zhan Ye

Duan Ximei said: "Did my father want to challenge the various sects, or was someone deliberately misleading him?"

"It was Wei Jinqing who instigated him." Cen Jiangying said expressionlessly, "The reason why your father got acquainted with Wei Jinqing was through the introduction of his betrothed elder brother. According to your father, Wei Jinqing is a man who is knowledgeable about the past and present, with high martial arts skills and demeanor. Pianpian is indeed a rare talent. At the beginning, he had always trusted him. After returning to the Central Plains, he immediately went to find Wei Jinqing to prove his martial arts. Wei Jinqing naturally admired him very much, and even more so. He admits that he is not his opponent, but he also said that the martial arts in the Central Plains, Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger, all schools have profound knowledge, although he is not your father's opponent, but if your father feels lonely, you may wish to challenge the masters of various schools to prove the martial arts At the same time, it can’t be said that you can go further. Your father is very innocent, and he was very happy when he heard it. He honestly went to challenge each faction, challenged one after another, and defeated them one after another.

"When he said goodbye to your mother and wanted to go back to the Central Plains to resolve these matters, he really didn't think of it as a big deal, because he still didn't feel that he had violated the morality of martial arts. He didn't know that he What he has done has already swept away the face of the entire Central Plains martial arts. He doesn't know how much panic will be caused to others by one person's peak, and he doesn't know why all the martial arts masters who are clearly "defeated" by him, why when he returns to the Central Plains again? At that time, one by one died. He turned into a rat crossing the street overnight. Everyone shouted and beat him, but his sworn brothers still believed in him. He. But what kind of name is Guan Ju? Whether it is your adoptive father or your father, they are all people who don’t care about these reputations at all, but they don’t care, but some people care. At this time, there are rumors that your father is The young master of the Muye Clan outside the pass, the reason why he swept the entire martial arts world was to conspire with Guan Ju to let the Muye Clan invade the Central Plains. This rumor intensified. At this time, Wei Jinqing suddenly turned around and chased after your father, and even dispatched The power of the Palace of Eternal Life confronts Guan Ju. Lord Zhu’s name is famous all over the world, and he seems to have become the leader of the righteous way. Suddenly, even the name of the Palace of Longevity, who has returned to the martial arts, has become upright. If your father doesn’t know him by now Well, his eldest brother has been used by this person for the past few years, wouldn't he really be a fool?"

Duan Xiong frowned.

The reason why Duan Fangzong got acquainted with Wei Jinqin was because of Chi Ming, and Chi Ming trusted Wei Jinqin at first, naturally because of Wei Junxin.It's just that at that time Wei Junxin had already betrayed Guan Ju and He Chunqiu and lived in seclusion. If it is said that the two were really friends when Chi Ming introduced Wei Jinqin to Duan Fangzong, but after that Chi Ming must have noticed He was used by Wei Jinqing, why would he...

Duan Ximei asked: "How did you know these things?"

Cen Jiangying said indifferently: "Some of them were mentioned in the letters he wrote to your mother intermittently during the period, and most of them were mentioned by him when he returned to the palace."

Duan Ximei asked: "That's all he said? Didn't he say anything more about my adoptive father?"

Cen Jiangying looked at him in surprise and said, "Why do you ask such a question? I thought you would never have the slightest doubt that your adoptive father would do anything to offend your father?"

"My adoptive father..." Duan Ximei didn't know how to express it, and after a while he smiled wryly, "Maybe the two of them became brothers just because of their temperament."

Cen Jiangying was stunned when she heard the words, and followed him with a wry smile: "So... Is this how we should understand this matter? Thanks to Ah He and I..."

Duan Ximei said: "So my adoptive father did do some things back then?"

Cen Jiangying nodded: "The reason why those people who were defeated by your father died suddenly was because they were assassinated one by one by the people of Guanju. After your father found out about this, he took everything on himself and changed his saying that the masters of the various sects were indeed It was he who killed him, and it was precisely because of this that he later fell into a situation from which he could no longer escape."

Duan Ximei only felt a splitting headache: "Why would my adoptive father..." The reason why he noticed that there was something wrong with Chi Ming's actions in this process was precisely because he knew that he had no scruples, but Chi Ming didn't care anymore. All scruples are good, and he can't think of why he would help frame Duan Fangxing.

Cen Jiangying pondered for a moment and said: "Have you heard about the former young master and his wife?" She didn't mention He Lanchun's name directly, but Duan Ximei mentioned it several times.

Sure enough, Duan Ximei said very straightforwardly: "It's clear."

Cen Jiangying sighed: "According to what your father said, Chi Ming hates He Lan Chun Wei Jun Xin."

As Duan Ximei said, Chi Ming is as unscrupulous and willful as Duan Fangzong.

After Wei Junxin betrayed Guanju, he already understood that he was used by Wei Junxin and Wei Jinqing from the beginning to the end.However, his feelings for Wei Junxin could not be wiped away, and it was doomed that even if he knew the truth, the person he hated the most was still He Lanchun.Wei Jinqing approached him for cooperation at this time, and frankly said that the reason why he used him at the beginning was because of the feud between the Palace of Eternal Life and Jiuchongtian Palace. Everything he did was to destroy Jiuchongtian Palace, but in his heart he wanted to match Chi Mingwei Junxin The two used Guan Ju's power to kill He Lanchun again, but he never expected that Wei Junxin would betray them at the same time.

Chi Ming was full of hatred and couldn't vent, so he simply chose to cooperate with Wei Jinqing.

He Lanchun incarnated as He Chunqiu, still running around for affairs in the martial arts.

Chi Ming let Wei Jinqing fall in love with He Lanxue, while he led Guan Juzhong to kill all the martial arts masters who were defeated by Duan Fangzong.There was nothing wrong with this matter in his eyes, he just wanted to keep disgusting He Lanchun, keep making trouble for him, and keep reminding Wei Junxin what a wrong choice she made.He even thought about it well, Wei Jinqing wanted to seize the Jiuchongtian Palace and let him go, and after he helped Duan Fangzong defeat the entire Central Plains martial arts, he would make Duan Fangzong the leader of the martial arts alliance by the way, and set up the Qingxin Xiaozhu in the Jiuchongtian Palace All trampled underfoot.

He never paid attention to Wei Jinqing, so naturally he didn't understand that his goal was never just the Jiuchongtian Palace, but the entire martial arts world, or the whole world.

He thought that Duan Fangzong was only obsessed with the highest level of martial arts, and that becoming No.1 in the world was his greatest wish.So he didn't ask his opinion, and he didn't even know that he already had a higher goal in his life than being number one in martial arts.

The so-called temperament determines destiny, no matter if it is put on Chi Ming or Duan Fangzong, it is really true.

"As soon as your adoptive father knew that Wei Jinqing wanted to kill your father, he immediately confessed everything to your father, and your father knew what he did, and took the responsibility of killing the entire Central Plains martial arts before him. Cen Jiangying murmured, "I can't understand your father's behavior, but your mother must understand him... Every time I think of you falling into the hands of someone like Chi Ming for the past 20 years, I really dare not keep you in my heart." The hope of being alive..."

Together with Cen Jiangxin, she heard Duan Fangzong's explanation of what Chi Ming did to Chi Ming, and she also saw how crazy it was for Chi Ming to save Duan Fangzong and enter Jiuchongtian Palace alone after his death.However, it was precisely because this person was so crazy that she only had fear and guard against him. She never dared to hope that Duan Xixiu, who was taken away by him, would be any better.

Duan Ximei was silent.

Chi Ming's life, why he changed from his initial appearance to his final appearance, every time he understands a little more, he wants to understand a little more.

He didn't understand that everything they did was right.

But whether they are right or wrong, in the end they are the ones who have reached that step by themselves.

Both Chi Ming and Duan Fangzong paid the most painful price for their reckless and careless self.

Duan Ximei murmured: "When did my father come back? Why did he come back..."

With Duan Fangxing's natural heroism, it stands to reason that he shouldn't bring any danger to Cen Jiangxin.

A sad smile suddenly flashed across Cen Jiangying's face: "It's because of me... At that time, your father was being punished by the entire Central Plains martial arts intensified, but he didn't even know you existed... Your mother changed so much that year, She worries about your father day and night, she is no longer what she used to be, and she doesn't even think about telling your father about you. She has lived like a star since she was a child, and she can wrong herself to be that Waiting, but I... I secretly sent a letter to your father behind her back, telling you the news of your impending birth, and your father... ran thousands of miles and came back with the vendetta of the whole world."

In fact, she thought about it countless times afterwards, the time these two people were together was really too short.

From the moment they became a couple to the moment they died overnight, the time they really spent together was not even enough for a month.

But they are all like that.

They identified a person, and they were willing to die for that person.They have identified a relationship, and they will never change their lives for that relationship.

That's why they recognize each other.

That period of love that cannot stay together but is always waiting for each other in their hearts must be the greatest glory in their respective lives.

"Your father is back, and your mother finally smiled again. I thought I was right..." The smile on Cen Jiangying's face became more and more tragic, and even the tears that kept dripping down were full of remorse and despair, "But Jiuzhong Tiangong is not a paradise at all... He Lanxue, she and your mother were as close as sisters, but because she was deceived by a man with ulterior motives, she wanted to drive your father to a dead end... I have thought for decades that our sisters are in the Heavenly Palace. There is no taboo in the middle of the world... But it turns out that as long as the palace lord gives an order, we are nothing... Your mother is about to give birth, and your father has nothing to do. He kneels in front of the old palace lord's spirit and swears that he will bear everything I beg He Lanxue to let you mother and son go... Before he left, he said that he would definitely come back to pick up your mother and son, but, but..."

Duan Ximei listened quietly, tears dripping down on the ice coffin.

But he still broke his promise after all, he still died in the abyss that no one could find.

But Cen Jiangxin couldn't wait for him after all.

But after all, they died one after another like that, leaving him alone in the world, and he didn't finally hear about it until 20 years later.

Mr. Duan unconsciously picked the lid of the coffin with his fingers, and asked in a low voice for a long time, "Why... didn't you bury her? Instead, but..." Instead, she was placed in this icy and snowy place, desolate and lonely for twenty years.

"It was what she asked for before she died." Looking quietly at the beautiful figure in the ice coffin that was colder than the frost, Cen Jiangying said softly, "She said that your father will keep what he said, and that he promised to come back to you, no matter whether he lives or dies. Breaking her promise, no matter how long, she will wait for him. No matter how long, she hopes to see her again when he comes back." For that side, she is still willing to give everything even after death.

Duan Xiongmei's tears that fell on the ice coffin quickly condensed into ice flowers. Together with the blood stains on the coffin that he had dug his fingers before, it seemed to add a touch of beauty to the woman who had been lonely in the coffin for 20 years.

"Although she couldn't wait for your father, she must be very content to meet you like this today." Cen Jiangying turned her head and stared at him with a slight smile in her eyes, "Isn't she beautiful? She You must be willing to let you see her beauty, instead of a dark tomb. Besides, you may not know that you only have eyes similar to hers, and a face that is very similar to your father. When the world sees you, Everyone must know that you are the son of Duan Fangzong and Cen Jiangxin."

After a long silence, Duan Ximei suddenly said: "No."

Cen Jiangying was startled.

"She may be happy to see me, but she must not be happy enough." Duan Ximei put his palm on the ice coffin, "A person like her will definitely think that my life is mine, but her life is not It must be with my father. She may be very happy to see me, but what she wishes most is to be with my father. ... I will fulfill this wish for her."

Cen Jiangying hesitated and said, "You want to..."

"Live to see people, die to see corpses." Duan Ximei said quietly, "I have been doing nothing for the past 20 years, and I have been extremely unfilial. Bringing my father's body back to reunite with my mother is what I should do as a son of man things."

"...After she passed away, in order to fulfill her last wish, I personally went to look for your father's body under the Gujue Peak." Cen Jiangying's face flashed with pain, "I searched every inch of the Gujue Peak, but I couldn't find it. Him. I broke into the Taixiao Palace with a sword and forced He Lanxue to hand over his body, but she said no. You said that you want to see people when you live, and you want to see corpses when you die, but in the past 20 years, I have neither seen anyone nor seen him. The dead body... It has been 20 years, and now you say you want to find him, it is easier said than done."

What she didn't say was that 20 years later, even if his body had been placed somewhere that none of them could find, it should have turned into a dry bone that no one knew anymore.

Hearing her words, Duan Ximei felt more clear in his heart.He didn't know that Cen Jiangying had also searched for Duan Fangxing's body, but he knew that Fu Bayin had searched for Duan Fangxing's body but to no avail.No matter who these two people are, in terms of mind and manpower, they must have tried their best.What they tried their best but couldn't find, presumably it wasn't an omission, but...

Duan Ximei said: "You said that there were rumors that my father was related to the Muye tribe outside the pass? Is this true or false?"

Cen Jiangying was stunned: "You want to..."

Duan Ximei said lightly: "I just don't want to let go of any possibility."

"Most of the things I know are from your father's own mouth. As for the others, I don't know too much." Cen Jiangying said sadly, "He Lanxue intervened in that incident back then, but your mother said that the Jiang family has been loyal to Jiuchongtian Palace for generations. Our sisters were brought up by the old palace lord. We were greatly favored, and I was not allowed to turn against He Lanxue until death. I had no choice but to at least kill Wei Jin to avenge your parents, but later I learned that Wei Jin Qing closely followed the news that your father was killed by He Lanxue. I was so happy in my heart, I felt that He Lanxue might have suffered the greatest humiliation in the world, but I didn't need to trouble her. At that time, I was disheartened , I didn’t pay attention to this matter anymore. It’s just that I vaguely heard that your father and brothers united with various forces to rescue him, and there seemed to be Muye clan among them, but for some reason they all…”

Duan Xu's brows are sharp.

Those who were blocked on the way by Xie Yin, He Chunqiu and others were probably far more than just Feng Chan.

Since it is confirmed that Duan Fangzong is indeed related to the Muye Clan, at least he is not at a loss in the future. Thinking of this, he said: "Don't worry, I will do what I say."

Cen Jiangying looked at him.

In her eyes, this boy is an extremely restrained person.

He never made a sound when he cried, as if he would never laugh, and he never said two words that could be expressed in one word.

But he was very clear and straightforward.

He cries when he is sad, and when he decides to do something, he will do it immediately. He will definitely do what he says.

She looked at him, as if she was still looking at those two people with different personalities, but both were warm and straightforward, and they kept what they said.

After a long time, Cen Jiangying suddenly let out a long sigh, leaned forward and hugged Duan Ximei into her arms.

"Auntie believes in you." She said every word very gently, "Your mother and I have waited for 20 years and finally waited for you. Presumably, in my lifetime, I will also be able to wait for the day when your family is reunited."
