[Comprehensive Sword Three] Peach and plum are all over the world

Liu Hua got up early, chopped up the pigweed, and carried it to the pigsty behind.After feeding the pigs, she went to the kitchen to bake some pancakes, took one for herself, and took it out to do the laundry.

"Morning, Xiao Lei." Seeing an acquaintance as soon as she went out, Liu Hua narrowed her eyes and greeted him.

"Morning, Aunt Liu." The young man stopped and greeted Liu Hua.

"Going to the private school so early, the group of mud monkeys are still nesting in the pit." Liu Hua said quickly, "Why don't you sleep more?"

"It rained last night, and I was worried that the books inside were damp, so I wanted to go and read it early." Although the young man spoke politely, he was not dressed like those scholars, and his short jacket looked neat and tidy.

"Books." Liu Hua suddenly became one head and two big, "It's really delicate." Although she said so, she was still very respectful. A scholar can be an official, but she can't, "Then you go, if there are not enough people, call the village entrance. Those bastards, anyway, have nothing to do all day long."

"Definitely." He bowed to Liu Hua, "Aunt Liu, I will go first."

After bypassing several houses, he stopped, took out the key in his pocket, unlocked the chai gate, and stepped over the threshold to enter.

The place where the books are collected is only a few steps away, just past the front hall.He walked a few steps, heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the closed doors and windows, looked at the sun again, opened the windows, picked out a few damp books, and spread them out in the sun to dry.

After finishing the work, he went into the house again, touched a few books on the shelf, and stopped in front of a big box. After a while, he opened the box and took out the contents.

It was a Guqin, made of high-quality paulownia wood, and the strings were twisted from ice silk. Unlike ordinary Guqin, it had an extra decoration.He made a clever move, and the three-foot green sharp edge came out from the inside. The sword light was piercing, and a pair of eyes appeared on the sword body, six points of Confucianism, three points of chivalry, and one point of sadness.

"Master Lei." Someone said at the door.

He hurriedly retracted the sword, turned around and looked at the person coming.He is a new Mr. Private School, a few years older than him, wearing a long gown, wearing a square scarf, with Confucian style.

"Mr. Yu." He put down the piano and went over to say hello, "You're here."

Yu Zhong was still carrying a burden on his body, and his expression was quite pleasant, "Today is my first class, so naturally it should be earlier."

Lei Xi nodded and made a gesture of invitation, inviting the other party to come in. "This is the place where the books are kept. I also rest here on weekdays. There is a couch, so I can take a rest for a while. There are five classics on the top, hundreds of surnames in the middle, and thousands of characters on the bottom. Children here rarely read Those who seek fame and fame usually stop coming after knowing a few words." At this point, Lei Xi smiled wryly, "A lot of ashes have fallen from the Five Classics."

"Understood." Yu Zhong glanced around for a week, he would come here, naturally he didn't value those common names, he just wanted to eat.When he glanced at the piano on the desk, the light from the window danced on the piano pillars, and the scene looked very interesting.Yu Zhong's pupils shrank a little, how could there be such a thing in such a small rural village.

"It was left behind by an old man." Lei Xi's expression darkened, and he walked over, carefully picking up the Guqin, with a bit of treasure.

Yu Zhong was very good at reading people's eyes. Seeing that Lei Xi didn't want to talk more, he didn't ask any more questions. He only talked about other things, "When I came here just now, I saw some books drying outside."

"It rained heavily last night." Lei Xi said with a smile, "These few books got wet, so I took them out to dry, just like the ancients did."

"Isn't it elegant?" Yu Zhong clapped his palms and laughed.

**

After leaving the private school to Yu Zhong, Lei Xi returned home with the guqin in his arms.

"Father, I'm back."

Lei Ming withdrew his palm and made a breathing adjustment. He turned his back and did not look at the returning Lei Xi. He just swayed to the bamboo chair under the tree, took the purple sand pot on the stool, and drank a few mouthfuls from the spout. .

Lei Xi stood at the door for a while, seeing that Lei Ming didn't respond, he walked straight through the courtyard, intending to go back to the house.

"You really decided to do this?" Lei Ming let out a long sigh of relief, playing with the purple clay pot in his hand, and asked his son, "You will do what you want."

"Yes." Lei Xi maintained his original posture, facing Lei Ming sideways.The relationship between their father and son may have been extinguished 18 years ago. He watched his father drive a person to a corner with his own eyes. He also heard the joy of those people and their ugly faces.

"I've been thinking about it all these years." Lei Ming stroked the pattern on the purple sand pot, his eyes were filled with deepness. These are eyes from the vicissitudes of the world, "Did I do something wrong?"

"It's you who are at fault!" Lei Xi seemed to have found an outlet to vent his emotions over the years, "He just saved a defenseless baby, and you, like a pack of wolves, bit him to the bone Nothing."

"I'm ashamed for you. Your self-proclaimed righteous way is to do everything you can to hunt down and kill an innocent person."

"Enough!" Lei Ming shouted. He stood up and faced Lei Xi. When he saw his stubborn expression, he lowered his tone again, "I shouldn't have let you see that."

Facing his father's weakness, Lei Xi swallowed his throat and choked up, "I took a very good class."

"So you want to take revenge on me, abandon martial arts and follow literature, and no one will inherit the Lei family's sword skills!" Lei Ming said, "How do you want me to face the ancestors of the Lei family after I die?"

Lei Xi didn't speak, Lei Ming's words were accusing himself of being unfilial.

"Take a step back." Lei Ming sighed, "If you want to clear up his grievances, you have to step into this river and lake. You don't have any skills, you will only run into walls everywhere."

"I believe that justice is in people's hearts." Lei Xi turned his head, his eyes were full of vigor, and there was still hope for this world.

"He killed the disciples of the various sects." Lei Ming was silent for a while, "As long as he bears these few lives, he will never be rehabilitated."

"Father, do you think he is that kind of person?" Lei Xi asked Lei Ming, talking about the year, "He took me back to the Yuelai Inn, knowing that he could threaten me to leave safely, but he still sent me back. How many people has he been beaten? Chasing and killing never hurt the other party's life."

"His death is very suspicious." Lei Ming said, when he saw that person jumping off the cliff with his own eyes, and said thank you, the siege was more like a trap set up by the other party, called Jin Chan Escape Shell.

"I later suppressed this matter." Lei Ming felt ashamed about this matter. At that time, some people said that they wanted to see people and dead bodies, and they wanted to go to the bottom of the cliff to have a look. One thing attracts everyone's attention.

"I went to ask those people, and they said that the disciples of the various sects had their throats cut with a sword, and they died cleanly." Lei Xi pulled out his sword, "This is his sword, father, look at it."

Lei Ming took the long sword, and he could tell at a glance that the sword was extraordinary. The light of the sword was like a cold spring in winter, piercing to the bone, and when he put his hands on it, he felt a warm current in the extremely cold, like the coming of the coming sword after the cold winter. Spring.

Lei Ming pulled a sword flower, frowned in the sword pose, "This is a soft sword, I can't control it with my internal strength."

"Soft sword?" Lei Xi knew for the first time that it was a soft sword. He had taken out this sword many times, but he never found the difference. He only measured the width of the blade, and then compared the information he got. .

"I can't see its material." Lei Xi changed the method, pouring subtle internal force into the sword body, raised his hand, bent the sword easily, and then let go, the long sword immediately returned to its original state. Not a trace of being folded.

"I need to cut my throat with this sword." Lei Ming thought for a while, "I need to end my life with a sword, and it is more labor-saving to use the piercing method." He recalled the battle at that time, "That man seems to be better at controlling the harp, and the sword is better than him. It’s just a means of self-defense.”

"It's not just rumors that Yiyin killed people." Lei Ming returned the sword to Lei Xi. Although he had clues, it was difficult to reverse the case. It is enough to attract people from the rivers and lakes to rise up and kill him."

"Mingjiao, why?" Lei Xi couldn't understand, he had learned about Mingjiao, and wanted to find the beginning from countless life-and-death duels, but he couldn't find it.There were too many duels with Mingjiao, so much that he was in a state of turmoil. The more anxious he was, the less evidence he could find.

There is an indescribable emotion in Lei Ming's eyes, which is the powerlessness, despair, and desire to be saved in this world. "In this world, killing people sometimes needs a reason; sometimes, it doesn't need a reason."

"If that's the case." Lei Xi put away the piano, took a few steps back, knelt in front of Lei Ming, straightened his back, he is Lei Ming's son, the son of the former martial arts leader, he is necessary and qualified, Draw a new rule for this arena.

"Have you figured it out?" Lei Ming looked at Lei Xi with a different look, his son had finally grown up.

"I won't back down!"

"Master, Master, Master." Li Jing hugged Chu Ruo's waist and refused to leave. She buried her head in Chu Ruo's arms, "No need."

"Such a big man." Chu Ruo was so entangled that she had no choice but to ask Xie Hong for help, "Xie Hong, help me persuade Jing'er."

"Jing'er." The years have not left too many marks on Xie Hong's face, her eyes are still as clear as they were back then, looking at the beauty of this world. "Don't embarrass your master."

"But..." The girl's words were ignorant and naive, and she found the deep pain in other people's hearts, "I'm leaving, and Master will be left alone, so Master will be very lonely."

"What nonsense? Your sister Xie Hong is still here."

"I saw it." Li Jing raised her head, her face was worried about Chu Ruo, "Master, you often sigh secretly by yourself, looking very sad."

"Because it's because you've become disobedient as you get older." Chu Ruo stood up, and lifted Li Jing away like a kitten, "Ma Gu told me that you are lazy, cheating, refusing to practice martial arts, and not serious in class. Often distracted."

"I..." Li Jing stood on the side, lowered her head, fiddled with the tassels on her waist, and said dimly, "I eavesdropped on your conversation with sister Xie Hong, it was... about my life experience."

"Nonsense." Chu Ruo got angry for the first time, startling the two present, Xie Hong hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade, "Jing'er didn't do it on purpose."

"Later I went back and asked Magu, and Magu said, Master almost lost his life trying to save me." Li Jing burst into tears, "Those people are so bad, why does Master want me to go? We live here so well." Isn't it great?"

"Your mother entrusted this to me on her deathbed." Chu Ruo lowered her eyes and glanced at her fingertips.

Chu Ruo couldn't remember the appearance of that woman for a long time, only the words before dying appeared in Chu Ruo's dream from time to time.I hope she can live her whole life in peace and be an ordinary person.

It's safe and sound, so why entrust it to yourself?

"I don't want it!" Li Jing hugged Chu Ruo tightly, her voice was shrill, "I just want to be by Master's side."

"Jing'er, you've grown up, you can't be willful anymore." Chu Ruo lowered her head and said to Li Jing who was crying like a cat.

What he saw was the reflection of the rising sun on the morning dew, which was astonishingly beautiful and pure and flawless. These were Chizi's eyes.

Li Jing saw that it was sunset, and the sunset seemed to engulf the entire sky, with an astonishing momentum, but with sadness and twilight, the sun will eventually set.

"I'll go." Li Jing suddenly stood up, stood in front of Chu Ruo, looked up at Chu Ruo, "If this is what Master wants."

"Whatever you think." He said this casually, not caring at all.But it made people feel more uncomfortable and cold.Xie Hong saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart. She was a bystander present and the only outsider. She saw everything that Li Jing didn't see.

"Young Master Chu personally watched Jing'er grow up and treated her like his own daughter." Xie Hong supported Li Jing's shoulder, "Does Young Master Chu treat you sincerely, Jing'er, don't you understand?"

"I know, I know everything." Li Jing tried her best to force back tears. Gu Ma taught her martial arts, Grandpa Lu told her the usage and toxicity of various herbs, and his master taught her the art of knowing people.

"My apprentice thanked Master." Li Jing made a big salute and left with tears in her eyes.

"The books I've read for so many years have been for nothing." Seeing Li Jing go away, Chu Ruo suddenly let out a long sigh and rubbed her brows.

"Young Master Chu." Xie Hong was startled, and then a little puzzled, "You..."

"Pack up your things, and when she leaves, we'll say goodbye to Magu and the others." Chu Ruo smiled at Xie Hong, "Taking this opportunity, I'll take you around."

"Then, do you want to talk to Jing'er..." Before Xie Hong finished speaking, Chu Ruo interrupted her.

"Let her suffer."
