Looking to the Thirteen Rivers

"evil creature."

Wen Zhaoyu leaned on the railing and looked into the distance, with rolling hills at the end of her field of vision. She reached out her hand, caught a cold snowflake, and said, "In their eyes, I am an evil that must die."

The accumulated snow bent the dwarf bamboos in the yard, and the flying snow came head-on from far away. Xue Tan took a big cloak from the house and put it on Wen Zhaoyu, and asked, "When did the protector know that Miss Ji is yours... ..."

He pondered over his words, not knowing how to describe who Ji Wanshu should be Wen Chaoyu.

The thin snow quickly melted in the palm of the hand, turning into a small water stain, which was slightly warmed. Wen Zhaoyu said: "I knew it a long time ago. On the day she entered Yunhua Palace to learn art from a teacher, I went all the way from Jin Cheng followed her back to Yunhua Mountain."

Ji Wanshu entered the palace, and became famous in the new disciple academy with her outstanding talent. Every day, many disciples went to see her in the martial arts practice field during the martial arts class. Even Shen Mandong, Man Jiangxue and Xie Yijun had been there. A few times, but Wen Zhaoyu never went there. In the year before the New Disciple Conference, she rarely walked around the palace except for occasions where she had to attend, and she almost never met Ji Wanshu face to face. I have impressions of the other three uncles, but I don't know Wen Chaoyu alone.

After being rescued by Nangong Min and returned to the Ziwei Sect, Wen Zhaoyu survived, but her life has been relatively difficult. It took her a long time to accept the fact that she was abandoned by her parents.

At that time, she didn't even know what Jianghu was, and what Ziwei Cult was, she only knew that Nangong and his daughter were her saviors, and she got kindness and warmth from strangers from them, so when she put Those resentments and resentments were finally let go, and after learning where Ziwei Cult was, she belatedly realized what kind of path her future life was going to take.

At that time, Nangong Min was still a little girl, about the same age as Wen Chaoyu, no older than she was, but Nangong Min had already shown the momentum and demeanor of a young leader at that time. She was held in the palm of the old leader and grew up, but She didn't acquire any bad habits because of doting, but she was modest and polite, calm and calm, completely different from the little demon girl of the Demon Cult that was rumored outside, she had no friends, and everyone in the Ziwei Cult respected her, obviously she loved to laugh like that , and soft-spoken, but everyone is afraid of her when they see her. Nangong Min often tells Wen Chaoyu bitter water, saying that he is lonely before he is old.

Wen Chaoyu didn't know her, didn't know her identity, so she didn't restrain herself in front of her, and didn't pretend. Nangong Min felt that she had saved the right person. She rescued a friend and came back. She was very kind to Wen Chaoyu, and even asked her father to teach Wen Chaoyu martial arts. Wen Chaoyu has always been foolish and refused to study hard, but her kung fu was practiced in the same yard as Nangong Min, and even Yin Xuan, who was adopted as a foster son by the old leader at that time, did not receive such treatment.

Until the old leader passed away suddenly, Nangong Min was forced to ascend the throne in a hurry to preside over the overall situation. During those years, she was oppressed and attacked from all directions. The martial arts righteous way repeatedly provoked wars, trying to kill her in time while Nangong Min was still fledgling. To avoid future troubles, Wen Zhaoyu ushered in the opportunity to repay her kindness. She took the initiative to find Nangong Min and asked Nangong Min if she could help.

Nan Gongmin told her: "I don't pay attention to other sects, but Ruyimen and Yunhua Palace are not so easy to deal with, but they are not impossible to deal with. I have asked Brother Xuan to go to Ruyimen according to the plan. Hua Gong, I will leave it to you."

So on the second day, Wen Zhaoyu embarked on the journey to Yunhua Palace.

She has roots and has learned kung fu. She stood out among her peers as soon as she entered the palace, and was accepted by the former master. She is the senior sister of Shen Mandong and Man Jiangxue, and her seniority is second only to Xie Yijun. Not the strongest, but because of his humorous temperament, he is also very popular among the palace disciples.

In the year when Ji Wanshu entered the palace, Wen Zhaoyu was on a mission at the foot of the mountain and went to Jincheng. He accidentally learned that Ji Wanshu was going to Yunhua Palace to learn art from a teacher. She hid on the roof and eavesdropped. Ji Wanshu cared in every possible way, encouraged her softly, and the family of three enjoyed themselves happily. Those laughter statements clearly reached her ears, but it made her feel so far away.

Mrs. Ji was afraid that Ji Wanshu would be bullied when she went to Yunhua Palace, and she was afraid that she would have a bad life, so she ordered people to prepare enough money, clothes and jewelry, and three carriages, in order to let people know that Ji Wanshu She is a young lady from a wealthy family, and she didn't want others to look down on Ji Wanshu. Master Ji even spent a lot of money to hire a group of swordsmen from the rivers and lakes to escort Ji Wanshu on the road.

For this journey, how long did they go, Wen Zhaoyu followed for a long time, and secretly dealt with many thieves and bandits. Those swordsmen were useless. After dark, they slept in the woods, and they all snored and slept soundly. It was extremely sweet, as long as the robbers in the mountain were not blind, they could tell that the carriages had oil and water to fish for. Wen Chaoyu hid not far from them, and guarded them all night until Ji Wanshu finally arrived at the gate of Yunhua Mountain. She just went back to Jingyue Peak to sleep exhaustedly.

In short, during Ji Wanshu's first year in Yunhua Palace, Wen Chaoyu avoided her intentionally or unintentionally, and was unwilling to get in touch with her easily. In addition, Ji Wanshu himself didn't like to socialize with others, and he was withdrawn and a little arrogant. They are all focused on practicing swords, so the two of them have never had any intersection.

Time passed to Master's birthday. That night Wen Chaoyu got drunk at the banquet and was taken back to the room by Shen Mandong. Perhaps the alcohol had aroused the pain hidden in his heart. Wen Chaoyu fell on the couch and wept silently. Shen Mandong asked her what was wrong , Wen Chaoyu was so aggrieved that he confided his life experience and the relationship between Ji Wanshu and her.

Shen Mandong didn't express surprise after hearing this, but comforted her gently and said: "Senior sister feels lonely and can't go back home even if she has a home. Since God has mercy and sent Wanshu to your side, why don't you keep in touch with her more? Is she also your family?"

Wen Zhaoyu said sadly: "I don't have any family, I'm a dead person who nobody cares about."

Shen Mandong said: "Didn't Senior Sister say that Wan Shu often went to the cemetery to pay homage to you? Although she has never seen you, she still misses you as a sister in her heart. If she finds out that you are still alive, she must be very happy. Wan Shu lived a prosperous life since she was a child. I haven't suffered much, but you can see her temperament, she is not lively at all, and she doesn't even have a brother or sister in the family. Wanshu probably came here alone, otherwise she is not a good young lady, and she will come to the palace to practice swords hard. What is it? Isn’t it also to seek the same kind and make more friends? Since you both feel lonely for some reason, it’s better for the two of you to get acquainted and be each other’s companions.”

Wen Zhaoyu was silent for a long time before asking again: "Is it really necessary? Besides...how am I going to get in touch with her?"

Shen Mandong smiled and said: "Soon it will be the New Disciple Conference. With Wan Shu's qualifications, No. 1 must be her. Master already has several of our senior sisters. She has no intention of accepting any more disciples. I think Senior Sister might as well put Wanshu received you, so you can accompany each other."

After Wen Zhaoyu heard these words, she did not give a reply that night, but she was indeed moved by Shen Mandong's proposal, so after that, she began to observe Ji Wanshu secretly, and found that Ji Wanshu was always alone, and a good friend would also be alone. No, Wen Zhaoyu could tell that she wanted to blend in with the crowd, but she still couldn't take that step. When the day of the New Disciples Conference was held, Ji Wanshu really lived up to expectations and got No.1. Wen Zhaoyu was still hesitating at that time, but she didn't Thinking that Ji Wanshu was aroused by her teasing words to be competitive, he even offered to worship her as his teacher.

It's not bad to have an apprentice - with this in mind, Wen Chaoyu nodded, took Ji Wanshu to his side, and taught her kung fu as a master.

"Recently, my subordinates are always thinking about how the guardian killed Miss Ji's eldest sister." Xue Tan was relieved when he heard this, and then sighed, "So that's what happened."

"The one who died was Ji's parents, and the one who lives is Wen Chaoyu today," Wen Zhaoyu said, "If she doesn't die, I can't live, and I can't get acquainted with Wanshu, but it's impossible for me to go back to Ji's house, so I just Could kill myself."

Xue Tan asked: "Then why did the Dharma protector suddenly leave Yunhua Palace?"

Wen Chaoyu turned around and sat down without saying a word. She looked at the jug on the table, and the scene of Mrs. Ji kneeling at her and begging her appeared in front of her eyes.

"You go, you go quickly... Your father and I already have a late relationship. If you come back, what is this family like? How do we explain it to Wanshu?"

"Since you were born, your family has been in constant misfortune, and everything has gone wrong. The Taoist leader is right. You are the reincarnation of the broom star, and you are here to restrain us. You see, since you left, our Ji family has been in trouble." Get better, it's God's will."

"I beg you, mother, please leave quickly, and don't come here again. We don't have your daughter, and you don't have our parents. Besides, aren't you living a good life now?"

"You just look at the kindness of nurturing in those years, let us two old things go..."

It was a bright sunny day, and it was also the day when Wen Chaoyu saw his parents for the first time after being abandoned for many years.

Before that, she and Ji Wanshu became more and more affectionate. The two were inseparable all day long, and their relationship was very close. In the eyes of outsiders, Ji Wanshu was a boring gourd, but she had endless things to say in front of Wen Zhaoyu. What did she learn every day? Whatever you see, you have to share everything with Wen Chaoyu. Wen Chaoyu likes her, no matter from the relationship between sisters or master-student, she likes Ji Wanshu from the bottom of her heart.

So she made a bold decision. She thought that if Ji Wanshu relied on her so much and got close to her, would her parents be able to happily accept her after knowing that she was still alive?At that time, they will be a complete family of four, and she will have a family again, with parents, a younger sister, and a younger apprentice.

It's a pity that things backfired, all of Wen Zhaoyu's good dreams were ruined, she felt like falling into an ice cave on that sunny day, and her whole body was covered with bone-piercing cold.

"On that day, I had a deep understanding of what it means to be heartbroken like a knife." Wen Zhaoyu poured a glass of strong wine and poured it with his head up. "But it wasn't just this incident that really prompted me to return to the Ziwei Sect. Leaving After Ji's house, I returned to Yunhua Palace, and Wan Shu didn't notice any abnormality, but shortly after that, the leader closed the Ruyi Gate under Yin Xuan's internal and external cooperation. I really didn't expect it to be so fast, I thought about it countless times To have a showdown with Man Dong, she is a good person with a clean mind. I have reminded her several times insincerely, telling her not to marry Yin Xuan, but she did marry in the end and could not be stopped. I heard in the palace that After the accident at Ruyimen, I thought about Mandong enlightening me that night, letting me untangle my relationship with Wanshu, you know, at that moment I hated myself so much, what was I doing? I killed someone who was kind to me People, but Yin Xuan approached Mandong for revenge. Is Yin Xuan wrong? I am caught between everyone, neither like a wicked person nor a good person, I hate myself, and at the same time I am worried, One day Wanshu and I will also face such a choice, so what should I do?"

The so-called long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, so she made a quick decision, blew her identity after the Ruyimen incident, and returned to the Ziwei sect. From then on, she and Ji Wanshu started a long chase and escape.

And in this grinding process, she gradually developed another feeling for Ji Wanshu. When she found out that something was wrong with her, she wanted to avoid Ji Wanshu even more, but she couldn't restrain herself, She secretly went back to Yunhua Palace to visit Ji Wanshu many times, and even when Ji Wanshu was chasing her after her, she would still think a little happily: She is chasing me again, here she is again.

Snowflakes fell rustlingly, over the eaves and onto the porch, staining Wen Zhaoyu's hair. She held the wine in her mouth and didn't swallow it, numb herself with that bit of pungentness.

Xue Tanting's eyes were filled with tears, and he sighed again: "Dharma protector, you are suffering too much..."

Wen Chaoyu lowered his eyes and smiled, swallowed the strong wine in his mouth, and said softly: "It's not just my suffering."

After she finished speaking, she raised her head again, looked at the chaotic and broken snow this winter, and continued: "All living beings are suffering."
