Cangyun [Sword Net Three]

The Yongzhou state army was defeated and returned, and Dongchangzhai held a celebration meeting for three days and three nights.

As the greatest hero, Wu Lang was officially appointed as the patrol commander of the cottage, responsible for all matters related to training troops and defending against the enemy.

The night is cool, but Dongchang Mountain is as lively as fire.

For the first time, Wu Lang didn't wear his black gold black armor, he looked like a son of a family who strayed into a bandit village, comparable to Shen Pengsheng.

This is the first time that many people in Dongchangzhai have looked at this general Xuancang head-on and at close range. Normally, many people would not dare to look up as long as they saw the long knife behind him, so they carefully observed this mysterious general. After the fierce general Xuancang, he found that he was actually very handsome.

Wu Lang avoided the toast and sneaked away from the banquet.Slowly walked to the top of the upper peak of Calabash Valley, and saw a figure sitting leaning against a tree.Go forward and see the man's face clearly by the moonlight.

"Dugu, so you are here."

Dugu Sheng stood up in a panic, and shouted a little helplessly, "Fifth Lord! Why are you here?"

Wu Lang slapped his hands, motioning for Dugu Sheng to sit down, and walked up to him, pulled up his clothes and sat down: "I was looking for you, I thought you would probably come here."

Dugu Sheng bowed his head in silence, rarely taking Wu Lang's words.

Beams of moonlight fell on Dugu Sheng's face through the gaps in the leaves, and Wu Lang saw the bewilderment and doubts in his eyes.

Wu Lang seemed to see himself who had just traveled to this time, sitting in the small courtyard in Zhuxin, looking at the familiar bright moon above his head, feeling confused.At that time, I was confused, and I also questioned this strange world, is it Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming of Zhuang Zhou?

After all, man is a fragile creature, both physically and mentally.

After all, Dugu Sheng is only 16 years old. In modern times, 16 years old is still the age to go to Internet cafes to play games secretly. Occasionally, he reads seriously, often complains about the lack of pocket money, and often fights with his teammates.Carefree is nothing more than that.Killing people, killing real people, is probably something that I dare not even think about.This is completely incomparable with the excitement and satisfaction of getting first blood, double kill or even penta kill in the game.

Wu Lang himself, is it not his first taste of blood?When he made the first cut, he would still say sorry in his heart, each is an enemy, life or death does not matter.Later, more and more corpses fell beside him, and the blood splashed on his face gradually turned from hot to cold.People become numb.It's really cutting people like melons.

If a person has sustenance and belief, even if he does something that seems heinous, it is actually easy to forgive himself.Just like him, when he was in the Linzi Prince's Mansion, he had a goal of getting rid of his status as a male favorite and leaving completely. Even if all the organs were exhausted and one person after another was used, he didn't have too much psychological burden.Now, he was going to find Yang Jichuan. He wanted to take root in Dongchangzhai, so resisting the state army's attack was nothing but a momentary sense of guilt.

Dugu Sheng can't do it, he just grew up in a bandit cottage with no atmosphere.Does he have any big goals?no, no.Before Wu Lang came, he was just a bum who was ordered by Song Song to go out with those little bastards in the cottage to play pranks.If Dongchangzhai does not collapse for a day, they will be able to live without worrying about food and clothing.

In this kind of ancient society with strict hierarchy, obtaining fame is the only way for a poor family to raise a noble son.These bandits don't like reading, so naturally they don't have too lofty aspirations.

No faith, no sustenance to support.When encountering strong mental stimulation, it is easy to have a mental breakdown.

Wu Lang handed the wine in his hand to Dugu Sheng, "Drink, it's specially brought for you."

Dugu Sheng didn't refuse, and after taking the jug, he raised his head and poured it.

Wu Lang folded his hands behind his head, leaned against the tree trunk, and looked up at the moon in the sky.

"It's okay to be free, why don't you tell me how you entered Dongchang Village?" Wu Lang said.

Dugu Sheng was taken aback for a moment, and the hoarse voice of the teenager's voice-changing period poured out.

"Before the stockade was established, the guard of Yuyang Town was named Gao Chang. He was a full-fledged corrupt official. His best skill was to whitewash the peace when bigger officials came to Yuyang, so that the people of Yuyang could pretend to live and work in peace. When he was on duty, the people in Yuyang Town were complaining, but there was nowhere to complain. My father used to have a piece of Susukida in Yuyang, where he farmed and raised chickens. My family's field was used to build a house, my father would rather die than obey, after suing the government, the member and the government came back to bite my father, saying that the field was originally rented by the member to my father, and my father still owed him a lot Monthly rent. Not only did the government award the land to Yuanwai in the end, but my family also had to pay Yuanwai a large sum of money. Even if I sold my parents and me as slaves, I would not be able to pay back the money. My father did not Convinced, wanted to seek justice, but was beaten to death in the yamen in the end."

"My mother and I had no means of making a living, so we could only beg for our living. Later, in order to support me, my mother had no choice but to remarry Dugu Old Ghost who was old enough to be my grandfather as a concubine. I also changed my name to Dugu Sheng. That Dugu old ghost is a villain who likes to abuse his wives and concubines. He married countless concubines, and all of them died in the end. And my mother died quietly in the second year after marrying Dugu old ghost. I thought I would I was driven out by the old ghost Dugu, but I didn't expect the old ghost to join Dongchang village. I also entered Dongchang village together. Old ghost Dugu died two years ago, on the bed of a woman in a brothel."

Wu Lang turned his head and glanced at Dugu Sheng: "It's not bad to be able to grow into what it is now."

"I, hey, let me tell you about me. In fact, when I was young, I was very ordinary, a mediocre child. My parents were not outstanding."

"Fifth Master?"

"Oh, are you surprised? In fact, in Cangyun Castle, many ordinary children like me were sent to study in the camp."

"Fifth Master, what kind of place is Cangyun Castle?"

Wu Lang narrowed his eyes, as if lost in memory: "He is in the extreme north, there are snow mountains that never melt all year round, there are never-ending snow days, there is a snow-free Yingxue Lake, and there are traps all over the place." Cangyun Inner Fort. It is a very beautiful place, but it is full of hatred and anger."

"The life of living in seclusion is very similar to yours. Carefree, self-sufficient, closed and narrow, you don't have to think about anything. So for the wealth and glory that the instructors said, they have no concept of controlling the world, and they don't yearn for it. In Cangyun Studying in the military camp is also a matter of course. Just wait until adulthood, ask for a wife, have a baby, plant fields, plant flowers, burn the body when you die, and scatter the ashes on the Daxue Mountain. This is how you spend your whole life."

Dugu Sheng asked: "Then why is Fifth Master..."

"I heard from the elders that the ancestors were chased and killed by the enemies. To build Cangyun Fort, they had to preserve their blood. That period of bloody feud history is too far away from me, so I didn't have much feeling. Until I was ten years old , went out to practice with many fellow disciples, and was ambushed by a powerful enemy. Only after suffering heavy injuries did I know the taste of hatred. However, what makes me even more heartbroken is that the commander didn’t even bring back the corpse in order to save me.”

Dugu Sheng opened his mouth wide, looking shocked.

Wu Lang continued: "I have admired the commander since I was a child, and learning martial arts at the beginning is just a thought in my heart. That day when the commander protected me from going home, I looked back at him, and he only left me with a firm and tall back. I was I don’t know, but this is the last time I will see him. If I knew, I would definitely stay and stand in front of the commander to shield him from arrows and swords. There are five hundred disciples who go out to practice, and only a few dozen survivors.”

"At that time, I almost wanted to die in grief and anger. But I didn't dare to die. My life was bought by hundreds of lives. How dare I talk about death? The deputy commander told us that death is a death, or it is more important than Mount Tai, or It is lighter than a feather. It is the most weak and incompetent way to commit suicide because of heartbreak. Maybe people will only wake up after losing precious things. Earlier, I did not seek glory and rank. But until that time After the death of Cang Yun, I realized that only by holding the sword and shield in my hand can the people who care about me not have to die for me, and can protect the people I want to protect."

"In my hometown, there is a saying that stops war with war, and stops killing with killing. Dugu, some people, such as you, have to work hard on their minds and bodies before being entrusted with a big job. Do you understand?"

"Fifth Master, I..."

"I know what you're thinking, go over and pour the wine on the ground, let those dead sons also drink the wedding wine of victory."

Dugu Sheng pursed his lips tightly, fried the jug on the side, got up and walked quickly to the edge of the peak cliff, lifted the lid of the jug, and the wine fell into the gourd valley underground, splashing continuously in the quiet valley. The sound seemed to be the thank-you sound of the souls of those villagers who died tragically after drinking the wine.

Dugu Sheng's tears suddenly flowed out of his eyes like the pouring wine.

He whispered in his mouth: "Da Mao, Er Mao, Zhu Zi, Zeng Xiaoniu, Seventh Brother, Tang Zi,..., Li Fei, A Xing, Xiao Shou, I'm sorry... I, Dugu Sheng, will definitely live a good life, together with you Let us live together with you. After drinking this wine, you may rest in the ground."

Wu Lang got up slowly and stood behind Dugu Sheng without disturbing him.

He knew that after this night, the young and compassionate Dugu Sheng would go far away, and the eagle would take off.

After Dugu Sheng left, Wu Lang still sat on the top of the mountain, leaning against the tree trunk as if asleep.

Chang Shan quietly walked out from behind the tree trunk, squatted beside Wu Lang, and under the moonlight, carefully looked at the man he had been unable to see clearly.Suddenly, Wu Lang opened his eyes abruptly, meeting Chang Shan's eyes.Chang Shan was not embarrassed, he just stood up slowly, "Master."

"Well, why did you follow?"

"I'm a little worried."

Wu Lang smiled, "Why, you thought I killed the madman too? I'm not that fragile, so I can rest assured. But thinking about it now, I think what you said before is quite right."

"What?"

"Killing, in fact, I don't feel at all."

Chang Shan paused slightly, and asked: "Is what the young master said true?"

Wu Lang suppressed his smile, his tone was unclear: "Believe it, this is true. If you don't believe it, you will be full of mistakes. Does Chang Shan believe it?"

Chang Shan bowed his head: "Master Chang Shan Xin."

Wu Lang suddenly laughed a few times: "You look smart, but you're actually pretty smart. Follow me, you're right to eat delicious food and drink hot food."

Chang Shan glanced at Wu Lang, speechless, the young master was saying those inexplicable words again.

Wu Lang stood up, patted his buttocks, and hugged Chang Shan's shoulders, like brothers.

"Come on, come on, Chang Shan, let me tell you how I beat a child three times."

"........."
