Sir, this sword is a keepsake

On the Fengyun Terrace, winds blow from all directions, gathering from all directions, and for a moment, the sword is domineering.

Zhuang Li looked at the snake, "It's not that I don't have a name, my master named me Zhuang Li."

"I was wandering since I was a child, and my master raised me alone, even if my father or mother was born in the Snake Swamp—"

"Don't mention that woman!" The high priest interrupted Zhuang Li unceremoniously, with a sullen tone and undisguised disgust in his eyes.The green snake also trembled on the spot as if it had been stimulated.

"I entered Liang this time, really intending to obtain the Hualongzhan. I was also looking for the precious things left by the old man here... Now that I have found it, there is no reason to let it go." When speaking, the high priest with long black hair Dancing like a black snake in the wind, "I think you really don't know much about Spirit Snake Marsh, but you can't tell the identity of this green snake..."

The green snake let out an extremely shrill sound, like a baby crying. Shen Fang felt his hair stand on end, as if he had swallowed a big mouthful of ice, and shivered uncontrollably. There is no difference, it seems that only I am affected by this call.

"Don't you wonder who your father is..."

"He left me and my mother behind."

"Lies, all lies! Have you seen him?"

Zhuang Li lowered his eyes, his thick eyelashes cast a haze on his face.Shen said in relief: Zhuang Li, has he never met his father?

The eyes of the high priest once again turned into a pair of snake pupils, as if looking towards the world from hell, burning with flames of hatred, "If it weren't for her, your father wouldn't be in such a state...wouldn't be discredited, wouldn't be in the end... ...losing to Shen Yucheng, and being killed by Shen Yucheng, a pious villain..."

"What did you say?" Shen was shocked, looked at the high priest in disbelief, and blurted out, subconsciously vibrating his wrist slightly, and wanted to raise his sword to stab, but Zhuang Li raised his hand to stop him.

"Zhuangli..."

Zhuang Li's softer and more delicate face was covered with frost, "Let him continue."

"Your father's name is Sue, and he is my younger brother. Our family has the bloodline of worshiping the snake god. The position of high priest should have belonged to him. If he hadn't insisted on going to Kunlun to help Xiliang on my behalf, he wouldn't have met me on the way." When it comes to your mother, she won't be cheated so miserably."

Zhuang Li tremblingly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, "So my father didn't abandon me and my mother."

"Your mother was originally Qi Di's pawn. Your father was fooled by that femme fatale woman, and was killed by Shen Yucheng afterwards." The high priest sneered, and his seductive eyes were stained a little unconsciously. Crazy, said faintly: "That's right, the one standing beside you is the son who killed his father and his enemy..."

"No, Zhuang Li, my father is not this kind of person!" Shen Fang shouted, grabbing Zhuang Li's shoulders with both hands, seeing that Zhuang Li's face was distorted by the pain, he let out his strength in an instant.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask him." The high priest's gaze fell on Guixuzi who had been silent all this time.

Gui Xuzi closed his lips tightly, and sighed under the gaze of the three, "Shen Fang, your father had no choice back then..."

Before the words finished, Shen Fang's hand was resolutely pushed away by Zhuang Li.As Shen Fang watched, the last glint in Zhuang Li's eyes dimmed, but he couldn't do anything, couldn't say anything.Is all of this real... Zhuang Li's indifferent eyes made his heart feel like a knife.

"Come to my side." The high priest's tone eased, and he left the village.

Shen subconsciously wanted to hold Zhuang Li, but his outstretched hand stopped halfway - Zhuang Li didn't pass by, but again, only leaving him with a lonely and desolate back.

"If it is true as you said, it is useless for me to go with you. Although you and I are blood relatives, we can be a teacher for a day and a father for a lifetime. I will not go anywhere until I complete the tasks entrusted by the master."

"Besides, I don't even believe you. After finishing the work, I will ask my master for the truth."

"You have seen the wild guest monk," the high priest's tone softened, "Back then, after your father was killed, he searched for you for many years and failed. I heard that you were taken away by Xu Yiwei and failed to go to Yanzhi Mountain to ask for someone. So I came to the mirror lake to meet each other, I believe that one day, I will meet you, and I will live up to the entrustment of the old friend..."

"It's a pity... the years have passed... he has softened his heart... he is not even willing to take revenge..." When he said this, his tone became serious again.

"Revenge?" Zhuang Li felt like he had just woken up from a dream, as if he realized the truth in front of him.His eyes widened, he looked at the high priest, and then at Shen Fang, speechless for a while.

"The practice of Yanzhi Mountain and Spirit Snake Marsh is domineering, and you can't communicate with other sects at all. You are right. It is useless for me to force you to return to Spirit Snake Marsh. What's more, what Sue did that day has been tolerated by Spirit Snake Marsh ...I won't force you to follow me to Spirit Snake Marsh, but you must take revenge for killing your father."

The high priest pressed on every step of the way, and Zhuang Li felt that his breathing became more and more rapid, as if he was about to suffocate.

"Even if what you said is true, the real enemy is Shen Yucheng, not Shen Fang. In the future, I will go to Yongxia Villa to ask for an explanation."

Hearing this, Shen Fang, who was expressionless like petrified, moved slightly, looked at Zhuang Li in a daze, shook his head and said, "I told you, my father is not that kind of person."

As soon as the words came out, Shen Fang only felt that his voice was so cold.The eyes of the two met in the wind, like a cold knife cutting each other.

"Back then your father had no choice, but today, your father sent you into the palace to deliver the sword manual, so he has no choice..." Zhuang Li stopped looking at him and murmured.

Shen Fang had nothing to say.

"But what can you do... You have entered the palace, there are grievances and revenge in this rivers and lakes, there is revenge, you can do nothing." There was a sneering smile on Zhuang Li's lips, Shen Fang looked at it. Heartbroken.

When Zhuang Li said this, he turned around and walked towards the way he came.

"Wait!"

"Hold on."

Guixuzi and the High Priest said in unison, and after finishing speaking, they both glanced at each other strangely.

"High Priest, if Pindao's guess is correct, it was part of your plan to send Shen into the palace to send the sword manual. Why did you embarrass him here today, and even want to take his life? What, an inch of grass Does that know?"

The high priest was secretly startled, he didn't expect Guixuzi to reach this level, and even knew that he had made a blood oath with Huyan Dongliu, and his name could not be mentioned.

Guixuzi looked solemn, and continued: "Since ancient times, when a country survived, there were always internal and external troubles. Right now, there are turmoil in Lanzhou and Yuzhou in Daliang. Perhaps, tomorrow there will be the threat of soldiers overwhelming the border. With these two steps, we Is it wrong?"

The high priest was silent for a few seconds, then nodded, "That's right."

"Dare to ask the third step, is it on that person?"

The high priest raised his chin slightly and looked at Guixuzi warily.

Zhuang Li and Shen Fang were once again confused by their conversation. What exactly is Cun Cao and Ling Snake Marsh's plan?

"Does Shen Fang have to die?" Gui Xuzi suddenly left his seat and asked again.When he stood up, he was still a head shorter than the high priest, and his body was trembling. In addition to his black robe, he looked like a scorched tree struck by lightning.

"That's right." The high priest said decisively, "That person has already gone to Luoyang."

Guixuzi suddenly raised his hand, pointing at Shen Fang - Shen Fang felt terrified, his blood surged up, and he began to cough violently.

A trace of surprise flashed in the high priest's eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.But the green snake was hiding behind him, hissing and spitting, as if extremely afraid of the frail old man opposite.

Zhuang Li's brows were furrowed, and he said sharply, "What did you do to him?"

"It's just to confirm the situation in his body." Gui Xuzi said lightly.

However, Shen Fang knew that returning to Xu Zi's finger just now was by no means that simple.After coughing, he first felt a numbness in his body, and then his chest became more and more itchy, as if something furry was stroking back and forth.He raised his hand to grab his chest, but the itchy place was not on the surface, but under the flesh... It seemed that he had to scratch his chest to stop the itching that made him frantic.

"You, what did you do to me?" Shen Fang barely stood up straight, only to feel that Guixuzi in the distance was much shorter than the one in memory, "You—"

Gui Xuzi interrupted him, "Shen Fang, did you connect the link in your mind that has been disconnected?"

The itchy Shen Fang tasted a trace of blood, he bit his lip, gained a brief clarity, and heard the fatal sentence clearly.

"They want you to go down the mountain to die, that's why you, senior brother, will die..." Guixu Zi said with a sad tone, but his expression was indifferent, "High Priest, am I wrong?"

The high priest looked at all this with cold eyes, without denying it, he knew that it was indeed Huyan Dongliu's plan.

Zhuang Li, who was closest to Shen Fang, could clearly see the mighty sword intent in Shen Fang's eyes like a long wind. "Shen Fang... don't go to die..." He flew up, but this time, he was not as fast as Shen Fang.

A sword is like a rainbow, white clouds and gray dogs, changing the void.In the blink of an eye, Shen Fang's sword had arrived in front of the high priest, stabbing at the pair of snake pupils.The wind behind the high priest was like a vortex, opening the mouth of the void, swallowing the rainbow light of sword energy.

A drop of rain came from Nine Heavens, after a long journey, at this moment, it landed on Shen Fang's right shoulder, Shen Fang's figure suddenly froze, and he felt a heavy force pressing on his body , blood gushed from his mouth, but he still refused to lower the hand holding the sword.

The corner of the high priest's mouth was half a smile, he squeezed a curse with his left hand, and slapped Shen Fang's chest with his right hand.In an instant, the rainbow light melted like snow and the tide receded, Yiweijian uttered a sword cry, but it was panicked and fierce.

"Ants are also worthy of admiring the vastness of the sea and sky, and they are good at imitating such sword intent?" The high priest withdrew his palm, Shen Fang flew straight out, and fell on the stone steps of Fengyun Terrace, Yiwei sword fell to the ground, covered in silver light.

Crashing, the gray line of rain finally overwhelmed.The rain began to fall vigorously, and at this time everything around was already indistinguishable.I don't know where the waning moon is buried, and the sky is covered with black clouds, and you can't see the end of it in the south, east, northwest.

Shen Fang looked at Guixuzi, but saw that he was sitting on the wet stone pier again, without any intention of stopping the high priest.

"Shen Yucheng had learned the nineteenth year of the Spring and Autumn Period, and only dared to take advantage of Su'er's skills when he lost all his skills. His son is also worthy of using a sword in front of me?" The high priest walked barefoot in the rain, but he didn't touch a single drop body.He walked through the rainy curtain and came to Shen Fang who was drenched and slumped on the ground.

"Since you want to avenge your elder brother so much, you should understand how much I hate your Shen family..."

"My skill is limited. If it weren't for that, you wouldn't be able to dodge that sword."

"You hurt me with a sword, so what?"

Shen Fang opened his eyes wide, ignoring the extreme contempt in the high priest's words, the rain fell in his eyes, blurring his vision.He stood up and picked up the Yiwei sword again by virtue of his weak induction.

Not far away, Zhuang Li's expression was stern, his eyes fell on the three of them back and forth, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, one thought chased after another, and gradually intertwined into a rough dense net, outlining the picture of Shen Fang before he died. s face.
