Faraway Wanderers

"At that time, Rong Xuan and I, as well as a few others, were still young. They thought they were good, had similar tastes, and had some friendship. Afterwards, Rong Xuan suddenly expressed emotion, saying that if a man was born in this world, if he didn't achieve a great deal and spend his life in obscurity, wouldn't it be a pity?"

Long Que still speaks very slowly, and after talking for a while, he will stop for a while. I don't know if it's because of lack of energy, or those things have been too long, and need to be recalled carefully.There was no clue on Ye Baiyi's face, but Wen Kexing stopped and listened with rare concentration.

"Rong Xuan said that the way of martial arts is broad and profound, and each school in the world has its own strengths and weaknesses. Every few tens of hundreds of years, there are wizards born in the martial arts world, who become a generation of masters and form a family of their own. Huashan, Kunshan The same is true for Cangshan, Cangshan, etc., but the successors are often weak, but they rigidly imitate what the predecessors passed on. If one generation is not as good as the next generation, there will be decline and death. However, all the sects cherish themselves with a broom, and they seem to suppress their little kung fu. Don't let people see, if things go on like this, I don't know how many magical skills have been lost like this. Rong Xuan thinks that martial arts are stupid..."

Hearing this, Ye Baiyi couldn't help but snorted coldly: "I originally said this, that kid just followed the scriptures. All those who claim to be of any school or school and think they are pretty good, don't need to look, they will know that they must be a Idiot, what others teach you to learn, what you learn to learn, what is the difference between monkeys trained by jugglers? As for the unique learning, isn’t the unique learning also written by humans, and they rushed to fight for a cheat book written by others. Picking up people's teeth and wisdom is still regarded as a standard, do you think people have two heads, or you have no heads?"

Zhou Zishu couldn't help but smiled slightly when he heard this, but Ye Baiyi immediately glared at him and said, "What are you laughing at? You were spoiled by Qin Huaizhang's useless thing."

Hearing this, Long Que was silent for a while, and said, "Senior is indeed a strange person."

Then he went on to say: "So he came up with an idea, and the few of us agreed in private, agreeing to steal our own martial arts, put them together, build an arsenal, integrate them, and create a unique skill that combines the strengths of all the masters. , I made the mechanism of the arsenal, which is the complete Liulijia in the legend. After opening it, you need a key. The Liulijia will be kept by us separately, and the key will be kept by Madam Rong..."

Ye Baiyi interrupted him again and said: "Gathering the strengths of all families? In this world, long and short are born together, and there is no one thing that can be long or short - he is farting, can the diamond palm and the crescent eyebrow thorn be combined? Five big and three thick Is it possible for such a man to be stuffed into the skirt of a little girl? This is a truth that every child understands—if you can really understand the true meaning of martial arts, flying flowers and falling leaves, and the ebb and flow of the tide, you can also understand it. If you can’t, steal it I have read all the classics in the world, but I am just a copyist."

Long Que said nothing, just let out a long sigh.

Among the few of them, others may have no idea about this, but Zhou Zishu understands that whether it is stealing other family's secret books or revealing his own kung fu to outsiders, it is a big taboo in the world. Knowing the reason why Hero Zhao was expelled from the house, he couldn't help asking: "Those people you mentioned were the rising stars of the five major families, such as Zhao Jing, Gao Chong and Shen Shen?"

——No wonder Gao Daxia kept his mouth shut about the matter of Liulijia, and he was vague in the end.

Long Que nodded, and said with a bleak smile: "That's right, it's ridiculous that we thought we were the first to break the boundaries of all sects - and what Rong Xuan produced was half a book of Liuhe Xinfa."

The gazes of the others involuntarily focused on Ye Baiyi, and Zhou Zishu couldn't help but ask, "Senior, what exactly is Liuhe Xinfa?"

Ye Baiyi frowned, and rarely spoke out, and said: "The legend of the Liuhe Heart Method is an ancient thing. The real Liuhe Heart Method has been lost for a long time. I...a friend got its fragment by chance, and it took 20 years. I completed a copy by myself, divided into two volumes, the second volume was stolen by Rong Xuan, and the first volume was left on Changming Mountain, and was destroyed by him...by us."

Zhou Zishu immediately got two pieces of information from his words, one was that there was a person in Changming Mountain who was friends with Ye Baiyi's peers, and the other was that this person dared to complete the ancient things, and he was definitely an expert. Bai Yi said "When did I say that I am an ancient monk", and his eyebrows raised lightly, thinking, could it be that person is the real Changming Mountain ancient monk?

So Ye Baiyi went down the mountain alone under the name of an ancient monk, is it because the real ancient monk can't move, or...is he no longer alive?

These thoughts flashed across his mind for a moment, only to hear Longque continue: "We have all read the half-volume ancient book, and the content inside is so profound that no one can understand it. During those days, everyone They are all sleepless nights, rummaging through the vast sea of ​​classics hungrily, hoping to find some clues to explain the mental method-it is so attractive, Rong Xuan said, if you can understand the book, you can understand it. Seeing through the Eight Desolation and the Six Harmonies, the true unity of man and nature."

That is a realm of ancient legends, everyone is pursuing that realm, and will be the top, no one can resist that temptation.

However, there has never been a so-called shortcut in this incident. For example, the treasures of heaven and earth always grow in the most dangerous places. The more powerful things are, the more severe the test of people's mind is, and the more advanced martial arts are. , the easier it is to go crazy.

This time Ye Baiyi was also silent.

"Rong Xuan is the one who has gone the farthest among us, and is also the one with the deepest obsession. He was almost obsessed with that mind, but none of us noticed it, because we were all obsessed at the time—until one day, he said He finally figured out that the original intention of the so-called Liuhe Xinfa is to break it and then build it, and if you don't break it, you can't build it."

Ye Baiyi was startled, and murmured: "What..."

Long Que's hands trembled a little, and his whole body was trembling: "In Liuhe Heart Law, it is said that 'walking to the end, only to see the gate of heaven', what is walking to the end? It can be self-abolishing martial arts, it can be self-cutting meridians, It could even be suicide..."

Ye Baiyi had an extremely weird look on his face, and asked, "You guys think so?"

Just as Long Que nodded, he saw Ye Baiyi suddenly burst into laughter. When he laughed, his face was also stiff, and the corners of his eyes couldn't squeeze out a smile line. Instead, they twitched unnaturally, showing a faint sadness : "Abolish martial arts, cut off meridians, kill yourself... Haha, thank you for thinking it out."

Long Que said blankly: "At that time we were all crazy. Everyone became more and more irritable, especially Rong Xuan. He said that if you want to be the first-class thing, you must have the first-class I have the courage to dare to walk the road that others dare not think... At that time, Yu Zhui was already pregnant with Liujia. Although I was influenced by the demon book, I was not to the point of abandoning my wife and son, so I was the first to quit. Things are dangerous, so they asked me to protect the law."

He took a deep breath: "They chose the time and sat in a circle. If they didn't succeed, they would be benevolent, but they never expected that when the time came, except for Rong Xuan, everyone else would rein in the precipice."

Ye Baiyi said coldly: "Other people practice martial arts for the sake of their status and ambitions, not for martial arts itself. It's not worth taking such a big risk, but only that kid Rong Xuan is the real martial arts idiot. What's so unexpected about that?" of?"

Long Que nodded, and said: "He broke his heart, with a smile on his face, but he was exhausted. We didn't dare to vent our anger and waited for a long time before we realized that he was wrong... We just woke up from the big dream, and all of us, whether we were sitting or standing, were dumbfounded. Although Mrs. Rong does not know martial arts, but she was born in the Miracle Doctor Valley and has countless living people. Naturally, she was not reconciled to her husband dying like this. She calmed down and took out Eighteen silver needles were inserted into Rong Xuan's chest, and for three whole hours, he managed to keep a little heat in his chest, and he was still breathing weakly. We all thought he was alive, but he couldn't wake up, obviously. Just a living dead."

"Mrs. Rong washed her face with tears for three days, and finally decided to go back to the Valley of Miraculous Doctors to steal the Yin-Yang book. She doesn't know martial arts, and this trip is dangerous, so I went with her, and it was I who brought that thing into the world with my own hands." between."

Wen Kexing suddenly looked at Zhou Zishu, pursed his lips, interrupted Long Que for the first time, and interjected to ask: "Then... the Book of Yin and Yang, can you really save all those who have lost their hearts?"

Zhou Zishu was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and when he raised his head, he met his gaze, and suddenly felt a heat in his chest—even the Great Witch of Southern Xinjiang shook his head, and there was someone who remembered the wound that was already a dead end for him. Now, why bother?He wondered blankly, people in the world just met each other by chance, but they were just guests from another country, so could it be... Is that person really sincere?

Once again, he couldn't help but look away, only to feel that Wen Kexing's gaze on him seemed to have weight and warmth.

Long Que sneered and said: "A medical book is really a sacred object. Where is the Valley of Miraculous Doctors? There is a hanging pot to help the world. Can it be hidden? The so-called book of yin and yang is a transfer technique. To mend a person's heart, you have to exchange it with a living heart just taken out from someone else... What kind of sacred object is it?"

Zhou Zishu asked: "Madam Rong really..."

Long Que was silent for a long while before sighing: "It's human nature to be close or distant. She is not a saint, but a woman who betrayed her teacher for her husband. It's not us outsiders who can tell right from wrong."

"Rong Xuan is alive." Ye Baiyi said.

"Yes." Long Que said, "Not only did he survive, I don't know if it was a coincidence, or the way of thinking was really so strange. After he woke up, the true energy in his body exploded. After life and death, he really understood half of the book. He didn't even give Mrs. Rong a chance to cry on his shoulder to recover what was lost, so he went directly to retreat to complete the first half of the book."

Ye Baiyi commented: "Little beast."

Long Que continued: "I don't know the details of what happened after that. My wife gave birth, and I just stayed with her. When she gave birth, it was extremely dangerous. The doctor managed to pull their mother and child back from the gate of hell, but after that , her body was hollowed out, and I stayed with her for half a year, and in the end even the doctor was powerless to recover, and finally..."

As he spoke, tears came from the corners of his eyes, he shook his head slowly, and said, "I'm disheartened, a friend accompanied me back to look for them, and I wanted to say goodbye... Back to the arsenal, who knows what a coincidence , just ran into Mrs. Rong who was seriously injured and dying. Rong Xuan's sword was stuck in her chest. Rong Xuan's hands were covered with blood. Her. My friend was impulsive, and he raised his sword and slashed at him. I wanted to stop it, but it was too late. Fortunately, Rong Xuan was shaken and had no intention of fighting, so he ran away. At that time, Liulijia had disappeared. The key to the arsenal was handed over to my friend, and we swore a poisonous oath that we would never reveal a word in this life, so that no one can open the arsenal again."

After his words fell, the few people were speechless for a long time. After a long time, Zhou Zishu asked: "Is there something about Rong Xuan's madness, being chased and killed into the ghost valley, and then he was besieged to death?"

Longque sighed, and said: "At that time, I have already returned to Puppet Village, and I don't ask about worldly affairs, about, that's how it is."

"A good death." Ye Baiyi closed his eyes, tightly grasped the hilt of the white sword with both hands, the veins on the back of his hand burst out, the hilt was crushed by him, and the blade scratched him The palm of his hand fell to the ground with a clang, Ye Baiyi seemed to be ignorant, and just repeated it word by word, "Death is... well."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left without even saying hello, but after shaking a few times, he disappeared.

Zhang Chengling half understood from the beginning to the end. Seeing that one or two of them were silent, he couldn't help but boldly asked: "Old man, what are you going to do?"

Long Que thought about it for a while, touched Zhou Zishu's clothes corner, and said in a low voice: "Young man, do something good, take your sword, and give me a good time, that evil of Long Xiao won't let me die, now he I also went to see Hades, I can go down too, and settle accounts with him!"

Before Zhou Zishu had time to speak, Wen Kexing came up, bent down, carefully supported Longque's body, stretched out his palm, and pressed it against his chest, and said with a rare seriousness and respect: "I can shatter you in an instant!" Meridian, it will be very happy, senior, you think about it."

Longque laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, you are doing good deeds, do it..."

As soon as he finished speaking the word "hand", Wen Kexing's softly resting fingers suddenly exerted force, Long Que didn't stop laughing, his whole body twitched, and the smile remained on his face forever.

Zhang Chengling couldn't believe it, and said in a daze: "Old uncle..."

Wen Kexing reached out to close Long Que's eyes, told him to lie down, patted Zhang Chengling's head, and said, "Don't humiliate him anymore, he is a hero, and he deserves to die like one."

He paused, and said to Zhou Zishu, "I want to stay for a while and see him off."

Zhou Zishu supported the bedpost to stand up, and replied, "Okay."

Just as he was about to go out, Wen Kexing called to him: "Axu, you stay with me and heal your wounds."

Zhou Zishu smiled and said, "Is this one well raised, is that one well raised? Since I can't raise well, it's more cost-effective for me to hurry up to eat, drink and have fun..."

Wen Kexing lowered his head and said softly, "Then you... just stay here with me for a few days?"

Zhou Zishu stopped in his tracks and was silent for a while before saying, "Okay."
