The devil has brought his family's Heavenly Tribulation down again

(One)

Lu Ji was eight years old when he saw that bastard for the first time.

The weather was fine that day, the clouds were light and the wind was light, it was warm after a long period of cold, and Lu Ji, who had taken off his winter clothes, was rarely relaxed. Looking at such a beautiful day, he really didn't want to be wasted in the training ground.

He decided to go around the back mountain full of small broken flowers and jumping rabbits in early spring, enjoy the scenery, eat game, and let go of his mood.

Just do it.He set off at dawn in the morning and played in the mountains until midnight before returning. He had already passed the late return time limit set by his father, and he felt a little uneasy.So when he entered the house, he held his breath, tiptoed, and walked close to the cracks in the wall, for fear of accidentally waking up his parents, the janitor, or the big black dog at the door, and he would be severely punished tomorrow. father playing army stick.

But when he slipped through the back door and walked through the back garden, before he could decide where to go next, he was suddenly stunned—in his father’s mysterious study, which was only lit with lights when studying military affairs or meeting with important envoys, There is actually a flickering fire!

At that time, the surroundings were quiet, the courtyard was almost dark, the half-circle moon in the sky was mostly covered by clouds, the shadows of the trees were lingering, and the cold wind was blowing. Lu Ji shuddered inexplicably. His first thought was: Is it haunted?

Soon he waved away the messy thoughts, and after pondering for a while, there was a score in his mind.He guessed that some major event happened while he was away today, which caused Lu Che to stay up all night and work hard in the study day and night, but it happened that he bumped into him.

Lu Ji couldn't help laughing, touched his heart that had missed a beat for a moment, and snorted softly: "What's the matter, you scared me to death!"

He stood on tiptoe, slowed his breathing, and prepared to continue playing his "stealth".Since Lu Ji didn't sleep, his voice must be softer, and even softer, his old man who is a general has terrible hearing.

He walked more than a dozen steps and saw his hut from a distance. According to his visual estimation, the distance was only more than ten feet away. If there was no accident, he could push the door and enter in ten breaths. But still comfortable big bed.

As long as he stays in the house honestly when his parents come to ask questions tomorrow, why can't he just make up the nonsense about going out to play wild today?However, any misfortune that has not been grasped is not a real catastrophe for Lu Ji, who has reached the rebellious stage too early. He has hundreds of ways to lie, play tricks, tricks, and practice Tai Chi, so that General Lu can do nothing to him.

What is the real catastrophe?

such as--

just now.

Lu Ji really wanted to slap himself back on the right path, but he couldn't control his body, wandered to the door of Lu Che's study like a ghost, and gently put his ear on the door.

He wasn't too crazy, remembering that there would be shadows on the window, he didn't dare poke a small hole to look in, but hid outside the heavy door, hoping to hear a few words of conversation from the people inside.

The people in the room were indeed talking, and their voices were not low. It sounded like General Lu and his wife, that is, Lu Ji's father and mother.They are not chatting happily with each other, but half-sentences and half-sentences. Basically, one person starts it, and the other person can't wait to interrupt it and express his own emotion—that is, quarrel.

Father and mother are arguing?

This never-before-seen event deeply attracted Lu Ji, making him forget his own situation for a while, and focus on hearing what the two adults were arguing about.

But the General Lu in the quarrel is still the General Lu with world-class martial arts.Lu Ji leaned his ear closer, the conversation in the room over there stopped instantly, and the next breath, the door suddenly opened.

Caught off guard, Young Master Lu Ji jumped forward, rolled into the study in an ugly posture, and fell into a standard dog gnawing mud.

Just at this time, he heard a crisp baby laugh, like ringing a bell, like a broken jade plate, like a broken bone.

Nice, but scary.

"This is your brother." Lu Che said simply.

Lu Ji shook his head, sat on the ground blankly, and looked at the person in his mother's arms—if that could be considered a "person".

It was a baby with blue eyes, and Lu Ji didn't know how many months a baby of that size should have been born, or how old it was.But it is definitely not the appearance of the newborn, nor the appearance of the Hundred Days - Lu Ji just attended the Hundred Days Banquet of his distant cousin's eldest son last year, and vaguely remembers that the Hundred Days Boy who appeared at the banquet at that time is definitely not the one in front of him. bit look.

The person in the mother's arms is an indescribable age--the one who squints his eyes and smiles--can show a funny look--a monster.

Lu Ji didn't know the origin of the baby, nor did he know the horrifying chain of karma, and he didn't know that the scabbard of the sharpest sword in the world was hidden in his swaddling baby, but he began to tremble for no reason, his heart The indescribable fear quickly exploded to the limbs and bones, and then spread to the corners of the brows and eyes:

"younger brother?"

"Yes." Lu Che replied calmly, "From today onwards, you are his elder brother—"

"Is he born by a mother?" Lu Ji understood why his parents couldn't finish a sentence just now.Under the smiling gaze of the baby, he was highly tense, gasping for breath, and subconsciously wanted to grab the conversation, as if he could gain temporary peace only by saying out loud what was in his chest, "This kind of monster— —”

"He was born by a mother, just like you." His words were also interrupted.Mrs. Lu, who was holding the baby in her arms, looked a little pale, but she said to Lu Ji in a gentle and firm tone, "Don't think about it, don't talk nonsense, why, aren't you happy to have a younger brother? What should you do as an elder brother and an eldest son?" Performance, I think you should understand very well."

Lu Ji opened his mouth wide.

Something's wrong... there must be something wrong.

The young Lu Ji stared, his heart in a mess.

In an instant, the precocious young master of the Lu family thought a lot, and the deep sense of fear had already paralyzed his perception. However, when he wanted to suppress the weird thoughts and raise his head to take a good look at his "brother", But he met those eyes that were still smiling.

Those were a pair of harmless eyes, but they were not children's eyes.

That's weird.

That is the weirdness that you can feel something is wrong and out of tune without understanding it in detail.

The gentle and tolerant strange eyes stared at him, hurt him, and touched his heart imprisoned by fear.

Lu Ji stood up slowly, another emotion brought burning pain, burning all the way from his heart and lungs to his throat.

"This is not my brother, this is..."

He took a step back, frowning and searching for words in his memory.

"bastard."

He said it softly, the most insulting thing he could think of.He threw it viciously as a sharp weapon, wanting to cut the face of the person opposite him who made him unhappy, wanting to hurt the incomprehensible eyes that inexplicably terrified him, wanting the person who kept laughing The child twisted his expression and wailed like a normal baby.

He wants to bully him.

He hates him.

He was looking forward to seeing the tragic and mutilated appearance after the gentleness was shattered.

He didn't know the reason for doing this and thinking this way, but it seemed to be logical, saying so, thinking so, and getting what he wanted.

Although the price was that he was slapped heavily by his father.

When Lu Yang was seven years old, he easily knocked 15-year-old Lu Ji to the ground in the training ground.He knelt half-kneeling beside his elder brother, put a small hand on Lu Ji's shoulder, pressed Lu Ji to prevent him from getting up, and declared his victory.

Lu Ji looked up resentfully, directly above his head, Lu Yang's soft eyes fell down like silk, gently covering his face.

"You bastard." Lu Ji panted, turning his eyes away, "You're better than Dad."

"What's wrong?" Lu Yang counted to ten, and then dragged up the big brother who was lying on the ground and didn't want to move, patted the dust on his own and the other's clothes, and smiled with his mouth pursed, "Big brother is not on the battlefield, The Lu family cannot be without a successor. There must be someone between you and me who will inherit the title of general and be tied here forever. I am so upbeat, and my father concentrates on training me, so he can just let you go and let you go all over the rivers and lakes Wandering——didn't you just run to the imperial capital a while ago? Dad didn't bother you much, it's all thanks to me."

Lu Ji grabbed his head while he was patting his clothes, and rubbed his soft hair vigorously: "Blow! Blow to the sky! Do I still have to thank you, little bastard?"

Lu Yang hugged his waist with a smile, and arched his head into his arms: "Brother is bullying again, I want to tell mother."

"Who kicked me on the ground just now!"

"That—that's a tournament—"

"It's also a contest now!"

"……Oh."

With a bang, Lu Ji felt a blur in front of his eyes, turned his back to the sky again, and lay down on the ground in a daze.

Lu Yang's technique was very ingenious, Lu Ji only felt his body numb and his limbs went limp, but he didn't feel any pain.He squinted and stared at the floating clouds for a while, and he heard the sound of soldiers shouting and fighting in another field outside the partition.

"I really hate you." After a long time, he heard himself say this in a cold and sharp tone, "Bastard, you robbed me of my things, my status, my parents, although I don't want those , but it is one thing to give up by yourself, and another thing to be snatched away. I will not forgive you, you will remember it for me. "

Lu Yang was silent on the side.Although this little brother is only seven years old, Lu Ji understands that the other party is definitely not a normal and innocent child, he can understand his own words, perhaps, he is more mature than himself.

Mature people have thick skins and strong hearts. They cannot be pierced by knives or pierced by swords. Verbal attacks on them are often just farts.Yes, it must be so, so Lu Ji can abuse Lu Yang unscrupulously, express his indifference and disgust with exaggerated words, he knows that Lu Yang will not be hurt.

He was lying on the ground, but he didn't see that Lu Yang behind him suddenly blocked his mouth with his fist, and tears welled up little by little, and then were deeply hidden by the eyelashes that suddenly drooped.

Lu Ji wandered leisurely until he was 20 years old.He caused countless troubles for the family to settle, he offended many important figures and made his father bow down, he went to many fireworks fields to shame the Lu family, and he did countless bad things to get the world to point him out.

The title of the young master of the Lu family is almost equal to that of his military god father in the imperial capital.It's just that Lu Che is the loyal and mighty one who was killed on the iron-blooded battlefield, but he is the incompetent and degenerate who was mixed up in the poor officialdom.The world said he laughed at him, his father scolded him and beat him, but Lu Ji didn't care, and even felt a little complacent and satisfied.

He finally drew other people's eyes away from his talented younger brother.

He continued to mess around in the imperial capital, and because he had a majestic father, everyone gave him three points on the surface, although some people secretly tried to make him suffer, but Lu Ji didn't care.He was in pain and joy, using these intrigues to forget the old accident of the past ten years, and forget the home he once wanted to escape.

Then, on a windless and moonless night, he heard sporadic rumors from the far frontier in a teahouse in the imperial capital.Shouyuguan was fighting in full swing, but the Lu family's army hadn't sent an army report for a long time. It didn't matter if it was a month or two.But--

How long has it been?

Do you want to send someone to ask?

The old tea drinkers in the teahouse speculated on the attitude of the monarch, and bet on who would be sent to the frontier.But the monarch did not, he expressed his greatest trust in Lu Che Junshen, let go of all powers, and let the rumors spread day by day.

Lu Ji had a bad feeling in his heart.He pressed for a long time, but finally couldn't help it, he galloped for thousands of miles, and rushed back to the Lu family's residence in the starry night.

——The Lu family is empty.

He stood in the middle of the ghostly city, his mind went blank, and he managed to control himself not to kneel down.The confused and chaotic thoughts gradually became clear, and the first thing that appeared in his mind was a pair of gentle and affectionate eyes.

In the 37th year of Huachu, the monarch Zhu Bi went to the Lu Family Army to form a system, and since then, the Huachu First Army has been removed from history.

In the next seven years, Lu Ji disguised himself and changed his name and identity. After passing three trials in a row, the top student in martial arts in high school entered the Golden Palace to assassinate the monarch before everyone could react.

(Fives)

What would my life be like without that bastard brother?

Will reluctantly become Lu Che's heir, will lead the army to the battlefield, will win fame, will marry a wife and have children smoothly, will die for the country in a difficult battle, and will be honored after death.

Or, in the first single-handed battle, they will lose in a mess and die without a place to die.

He hated war very much, even more than his bastard brother.

Thankfully—perhaps you can say thankfully?Thanks to that brat who is a prodigy in martial arts, he was able to escape, leave the barracks, and wander freely in the rivers and lakes that he longed for but was not very good at.

But still because of that little guy, he took a detour and unavoidably walked back to the path he should have taken.

After all, he became a general, riding a tall horse, wearing a seven-foot long sword, leading [-] soldiers, invincible and invincible, completely worthy of the blood of the generation of military gods in him.

On a morning when the ice was first cleared, he stood facing the wind, with the flag behind him whistling.One side has a big "Lu" written on it, but the other side doesn't say "Hua Chu" but "Feng Yuan".

Behind him is not the familiar land, but the place where his blade is pointing is the vicissitudes and mulberry fields that he has stepped on in the past 20 years.

That is the country and country that his father, his relatives and friends, and his whole family have guarded for generations.

Today, bearing the surname "Lu", he returned with a foreigner in the most humiliating and painful way, begging for the final justice in this land where he was born, raised, and abandoned.

"Bury me in a thousand tombs, where does my soul go? The Styx River drains away and piles up the bones. Ask the common people why they are wronged? Why are the soldiers suffering?" Lu Ji was thinking silently, looking at his frail palms that were no longer white.He killed many, many people, but the one he wanted to kill the most has not appeared in front of him so far.

"It's all your fault. I will recite it for you first, and then...heh, I will also recite it for you in the future, you bastard who kills thousands of knives."

"You'd better not die at the hands of others, ruining the Lu family and me. I haven't settled the debt with you yet!"

(six)

With a slap across the face, the cheeks of the person opposite immediately turned red.The five clear fingerprints slowly swelled up, distorting the man's handsome face slightly.

Lu Ji stared at the other party: "Can you say it again?"

"It's all my fault." Lu Yang lowered his head, and said softly and with difficulty, "I didn't protect Hua Tan, parents and the others—"

Another loud slap.

Lu Yang covered his face and fell to his knees, shaking his shoulders: "I'm sorry! Brother, I'm sorry!"

Lu Ji just held down the saber at his waist. Over the years of fighting in the north and south, his flashy aura has long been washed away by iron and blood. With a slight movement of his mind, the murderous aura burst out can almost stun an inexperienced man. child.He thought that his fingers would no longer tremble and his heart would no longer ache, but at this moment, he lost control to the point where he could not stand still.

"One person affects the whole family. A bastard like you is not my brother! Don't call me big brother!" He drew his sword and pointed at Lu Yang's throat, "What did you tell me that day? Let me believe you! Believe you! This Are you returning my trust?!"

Lu Yang raised his head, although there were many heavy and broken things in his eyes, but Lu Ji could still recognize the gentleness and tolerance that had never faded.When that kind of expression appears on a baby, it will make people fearful, weird and unsuitable; when it appears on an adult man who is too early today, it will make people feel very gentlemanly and refined, but put it aside Right now, this man is facing the long sword, facing his elder brother, bearing the lives of tens of thousands of people, with such an expression, it is extremely disobedient and frightening.

Lu Yang shook his head, and suddenly laughed softly, just like at the beginning, his laughter was pleasant, but also terrifying: "Yes, I will pay you back, and I will pay you back now—Brother, please forgive me."

He held the part of the long sword closest to the tip and folded it hard, and the tip of the sword became a finger-long fragment, which was gently clamped by him.

Lu Ji took a step back.After being separated for decades, he has seen countless deaths, and finally heard the meaning contained in his brother's laughter, as well as the reason for his inexplicable fear and rejection of him.

Behind the gentleness and gentleness is the almost tired indifference after life and death.Others ignore other people's lives, but the giggling baby in the past, now this man with curled lips, has been ignoring his own life.

Lu Ji hates him, hates him who doesn't want to be responsible for his own life at all, and who is so erratic that people can't feel at ease to admit and cherish him.

He didn't want to approach him because he was afraid of the current situation.

I regard you as my closest relative, how can you feel so bad for me if you die before me casually?

Are you sorry for me? !

Why do you expect my forgiveness? !

"No forgiveness! Not allowed!" Lu Ji yelled, shaking his body, quickly threw the broken long sword, and rushed towards Lu Yang, "Return the fart! Don't return it! You are not allowed to move! You—— "

He was one step too late.Lu Yang easily pressed the long sword fragment into his throat, splashing blood all over Lu Ji's head and face.

I am sorry.

This guy blinked, and gestured to Lu Ji with a bit of apologetic eyes—the blood kept gushing from his throat and mouth, and he couldn't speak anymore.

sorry?

Heh—is this a person who is about to die, and his words are also kind—isn’t it?

die?

Lu Ji only felt that all the blood in his body was retrograde and concentrated to his head.There was a dark red in front of his eyes, the mountains and rivers were shaking, the heaven and the earth were separated, Lu Ji was gasping for breath with difficulty, and it felt like the end of the world was ushering in.

Lu Yang—the Lu Yang whom he had been thinking of hurting all this time—the brother he hated so much—the culprit who killed the Lu family and himself—is dead—is he going to die?

Suicide—what a suicide!

Lu Ji was stunned, and then tragically.He cautiously touched the fragment of the tip of the long sword, and his hands felt damp and hot.

"If—if I say, you come back to life and tell me it was a bad joke, I'll forgive you—will you promise me?"

Lu Yang looked at him with a soft smile.

"No, yes, you won't...Although you never resist in front of me, I know that you don't take me seriously at all... If I say it, when did you take it seriously?" Lu Ji wanted to put on an indifferent and cold face, but his muscles didn't work, and he could hear the despair in his voice.

Lying in his arms, Lu Yang slowly opened his mouth, struggling to make two mouth shapes.

Big brother.

"I told you not to call me big brother!"

——Brother.

Lu Jiha let out a laugh, tears and words spewed out:

"Ah, okay—remember I'm your big brother? Didn't you beg me to forgive you? Then do it for me! Stand up! Speak up! Please! Don't play dead! You This bastard has taken my parents away from me, and now I want to take away my last relative. Do you think I will endure you? One last warning, I only have one younger brother in my life. He's dead, and I—I'll—"

Lu Yang shook his head slightly.His last smile was a bit bitter, but it was more real than his usual peaceful smile—it was the last truth before death.

I will never forgive you.

Lu Ji bit the last sentence, like biting a soul that was about to break up, never giving up, never admitting defeat.He held Lu Yang's pulse tightly, until the weak pulse turned into a long silence, he still held it tightly and refused to let go.

(end)

Miscellaneous peanut trees, grass growing and warblers flying, year after year.

Blood stained the road of revenge, revenge for the tragic death of parents, revenge for strange life experience, revenge for brothers being separated.Whoever forced the Lu family to fall apart will be forced to jump into the river Styx by the eldest son of the Lu family. From the world of mortals to the world of cultivators, from the imperial groom to the emperor of the Dragon Pagoda, no one with a sin in his heart can escape. go.

Never forgive.He keeps saying that.

People didn't know who he was, so he pointed at the enemy with a sword without a tip, and said softly:

dereliction of duty.

Later, the seriously injured demon lord went out to meet him. Since then, he changed his name and said to himself:

guardian.

Everyone's anger has always been unknown.Ask the three-foot Qingfeng, Qingfeng laughs at being confused.

On this day, in front of the Lu Family's Clothes Tomb, Lu Ji changed into a new sword.

"……thanks."

"It's not for you."

"Isn't it for me?"

"of course."

"Okay, okay...Brother, calm down, forgive me?"

He turned around, knocked off the tip of the sword, threw it on the ground, and then smiled coldly:

"dream."

"Don't you claim to be my guardian?"

"Bullshit."

"Uh, whatever else, I beg you for 20 years."

"It's useless."

"Hey! How long are you going to hate me?"

"...It's time for a long time."

"Can you say such things casually? Do you know that it hurts people? As a big brother, big brother, you are really remiss!"

"……court death?"

"Hmph... dare not! But I suddenly remembered that you said something back then and wanted to tell me—"

"forget."

"Then, don't you—don't you ask me what I am? Why did I appear in Lu's house, why did I—"

"Who cares about you." Lu Ji sneered impatiently, "What are you? Aren't you my useless but barely cute little brother? If my brother Lu Ji doesn't show up at the Lu family, you still want to Whose house did you show up at?"

"Ah...that makes sense...by the way, brothers Dudao have no overnight feud..."

"Give up." Lu Ji stopped laughing, his face hardened, "The hatred of killing one's father is irreconcilable, and the hatred of killing one's family is incompatible. You continue to kneel for me—Long Yue? You came just in time, look This bastard, if he dares to get up, you will break his legs! If you dare to show favoritism, you two will fight together when I come back!"

"Uh, brother, where are you going?"

Lu Ji took two steps, and then laughed again slowly: "Go to Youming and beat up a few bastards who are so wicked and want to set up a trap to bully you, and visit your parents by the way, and tell them—look, I'm the boss who is more powerful .”

"To be honest, if you fight one-on-one seriously, you won't be able to last a breath under my hands... No wonder! No wonder! I'm just kidding! Brother, put down your sword quickly! Be careful that you hurt yourself!"

Lu Ji gritted his teeth, and after a long time, he looked sideways at the famous Qing'an Mojun who was kneeling and apologetically laughing, and said word by word, sincerely:

"You guys are really annoying."
