Chapter 69: Heaven and Dragon Slayer (17)

Who killed Xu Shouhui? Needless to say, since it was Chen Youliang, there was no second person besides him.

Chen Youliang will not only kill Xu Shouhui, but also directly establish himself as the emperor after this, which is recorded in black and white in historical materials. Whether it is in real history or in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", from the moment Xu Shouhui chose to take in Chen Youliang, he was already doomed to death.

How could Qiao Heng not be clear about this history.

To put it bluntly, with his identity as "Song Qingshu", he only needs one letter to save Xu Shouhui's life. However, he seemed to have forgotten Xu Shouhui before, and he didn't move. It's not that he can't save but he doesn't want to save him, he is also a doomed person, he saved Xu Shouhui, who will save him?

So, he was able to save Xu Shouhui but did not lend a hand, he knew about Chen Youliang's conspiracy but did not expose it. Now that Chen Youliang has succeeded, Xu Shouhui is also dead.

But he was still not satisfied. Is it because Chen Youliang has involved himself in this matter? Yes, but it is not just because of this. But he couldn't figure it out, what else could he not be satisfied with? He really couldn't figure it out, and he didn't want to figure it out until now.

Maybe it's still the same sentence - don't look at him pretending to be light-hearted, in fact, he has long been hungry.

......

Qiao Heng was splashed with dirty water out of thin air, but now it was as if nothing had happened, and he walked back calmly along the way. He closed the door as he had done before, and shut out all the qiē that he didn't want to pay attention to.

There is such a story, probably many people have heard it.

There was a frizzy young man living upstairs in one house, who always threw his two boots on the floor when he came home at night, and the downstairs resident was always awakened and miserable. After a long time, the downstairs resident did not know whether it was finally Stockholm, or if he had formed a conditioned reflex, and only when he heard the sound of both boots hitting the ground would he fall asleep peacefully. And one night, there was only the sound of a boot falling upstairs, and the residents downstairs were terrified and didn't sleep all night.

The specifics of the story may vary, but that's the way it is.

Qiao Heng's current mentality is similar to that of this person waiting for the second boot, and even he can't say what it is. Whether it is sadness, anger, indifference, or habituality after being slandered, there is another voice in Qiao Heng's heart that says: "Look, what should come is still coming." ”

The mountain breeze blows into the room from the half-open window, which is mixed with a bit of the fragrance of plants, trees and earth, and the surrounding qiē reveals a kind of tranquility unique to the mountain.

Qiao Heng came to the desk and picked up the brush, as if he had never left the room before, and continued to practice calligraphy by himself. It's just that the fingers holding the barrel of the pen are so hard that it wouldn't be surprising if it broke in the middle in the next second.

That faint anger immediately flourished under his indulgence, consciously or unconsciously.

-- Why is he the one who suffers every time?

He had asked himself this question hundreds of times, thousands of times, billions of times, knowing that there was no result, but he still couldn't help but ask.

A knife on the head of the word ninja.

But his "forbearance" didn't get him anything.

Thick black ink, snow-white paper, three rugged and powerful words.

-- Chen Youliang.

The killing machine is awe-inspiring.

......

In the dead of night, the waning moon hangs in the sky.

Zhang Wuji was meditating cross-legged in the room, and the fire on the candlestick had been extinguished at some point.

'Song Qingshu, this villain can't die well!'

The words in the day kept echoing in Zhang Wuji's mind, these words were so vicious, the more he couldn't bear to think about it, the more profound his memory became. If the mind is not quiet, how can we meditate peacefully and practice internal strength.

Chen Youliang! This matter must have something to do with Chen Youliang.

Zhang Wuji never denied his deep dislike for Chen Youliang, which came from Chen Youliang's own actions and was also because of Chen Youliang's master, Cheng Kun. If Cheng Kun hadn't done it, his father-in-law wouldn't have gone down the wrong path because of revenge, and he would have made a mistake so far; without Chen Youliang, how could Senior Brother Song go astray, and how could Uncle Seventh pass away?

At the beginning, he was a step late, so that Chen Youliang fled to the rebel army of Xu Shouhui's brothers, and he still remembered what Yang Xiao said that day: "Chen Youliang's fight is extremely insidious! But if we kill him at this time, it will inevitably show that people are not widespread, and it seems that we have old grudges in our hearts, and we have no room for people, and it is bound to chill the hearts of heroes in the world." "Those hatreds and resentments, in front of the family and the country, can no longer be let go, and they must be let go. Fortunately, he is not a person who loves to hold grudges, he only thinks that if Chen Youliang really changes his evil and returns to the right from now on, for the sake of the people of the world, with his wisdom, he may not be able to do a career to benefit the people of the world, so when he thinks about it, he no longer cares much about Chen Youliang.

Others are willing to let Chen Youliang go for the sake of righteousness, but why does Chen Youliang refuse to let go of Senior Brother Song?

With a sentence of "for the sake of righteousness", even a despicable villain like Chen Youliang can escape with his life. is also the sentence "for the sake of righteousness", Senior Brother Song can also be forced into a desperate situation by those ignorant people who mistakenly thought that he killed Brother Xu.

In the darkness, Zhang Wuji opened his eyes.

A natural footstep sounded outside the door, and even though Zhang Wuji had never seen the face of the visitor, he could still discern who the person was from the familiar footsteps.

He jumped off the couch, straightened up the slightly messy hem of his clothes, and then hurried to the door and opened it.

As soon as Qiao Heng came to Zhang Wuji's room and stopped, the wooden door in front of him was opened from the inside. There was no surprise in his expression, he had no internal strength, how could Zhang Wuji not hear his footsteps and not perceive his arrival.

Zhang Wuji's eyes were full of joy, and he said, "Why did Senior Brother Song come here at this hour?"

Qiao Heng: "Come late at night, I hope the junior brother will not blame." ”

This is really the first time that the senior brother has taken the initiative to come to him since Liujiacun found out each other's identities. Zhang Wuji was happy in his heart, and it was too late to blame him. It's just that Qiao Heng's polite appearance still made him feel a little lost. He smiled and said, "How can I blame Senior Brother, as long as Senior Brother doesn't blame me for not preparing refreshments early, it's easy to say." ”

"It's windy in the mountains, senior brother, let's sit in the house. ”

Qiao Heng followed Zhang Wuji into the room.

Zhang Wuji's martial arts are superior, his internal strength is profound, and the tricks around his eyes are nourished by internal force from time to time, and his vision at night is like daylight. He was busy opening the door for Qiao Heng before, and he didn't notice that the candle had been extinguished for a long time. It was only at this time that he led Qiao Heng into the room and realized that it was pitch black in the room.

He said embarrassedly, "Senior brother, wait a while, I'll light the candle first." ”

Qiao Heng: "There is Senior Brother Lao." ”

In ancient times, the building was inferior to later generations in terms of lighting, and this was just an ordinary disciple's room, and expensive things such as Ming Tile naturally could not appear here. The roof is in the cornices style, during the day is fine, at night, the faint moonlight will penetrate the window paper has been weak, a little away from the window, if you do not light the candle, it is not an exaggeration to say that you can't see your fingers.

Zhang Wuji was about to go to get the flint, but he saw a flower pot next to Senior Brother Song's feet, he just wanted to remind it, and then saw that Senior Brother Song naturally avoided it. Senior Brother Song even walked steadily to the square table for entertaining guests, stood quietly beside him, and waited patiently for him to light the candles.

Zhang Wuji was a little surprised. Senior Brother Song, has this preserved the ability to see at night?

But then Zhang Wuji denied it, he gave Senior Brother Song several pulses, not to mention that the meridians were destroyed, and almost all the points in the whole body were atrophied and closed, which was not as good as ordinary people.

Zhang Wuji took the flint and steel and lit the candle.

If you think about it carefully, senior brother, he ...... I don't seem to care much about the difference between night and day.

He couldn't help but think back to an incident when he was still in a state of total loss of memory.

It was a rainy autumn night, and the wind was blowing strongly, carrying the rain all over the sky, like the Milky Way pouring down. The bright moon was obscured by dark clouds, and the entire heaven and earth seemed to be enveloped in a black rain, making it impossible to see anything clearly.

He and Senior Brother Song walked on the muddy road.

Looking stupid, he only felt the scene of the storm in a daze as he walked, and was shocked by the power of heaven and earth. The senior brother looked at him, I don't know if he was amused by his stupid appearance, and he smiled heartily rarely, and the senior brother said, "I'm in a good mood today." After speaking, Senior Brother Song actually gave him the only coat covered in bandages.

A thunderclap suddenly fell from the sky, illuminating the figures of the two men. The senior brother casually held the only remaining hat and walked half a step ahead of him.

Thinking about it now, Zhang Wuji suddenly realized that when the senior brother turned around, he slowly closed his eyes. Since the moonlight is not there, and the wind and rain are more obstructive, it is better to simply close your eyes and face the wind and rain.

...... That's right, the senior brother closed his eyes and led the way for himself in half a step. It was as if he had become accustomed to walking in the dark in a state where he could not see.

Zhang Wuji couldn't think of it and didn't dare to think about why he had such a habit senior brother.

Qiao Heng watched Zhang Wuji light the candles on several candlesticks in the room one by one. As the candle on the last candlestick was lit, the room was filled with a warm glow.

Zhang Wuji looked at Qiao Heng, with mixed tastes in his heart, and said: "Senior brother's ability to walk in the dark like a blue sky and white sun really makes senior brother admire. ”

Qiao Heng obviously didn't expect him to suddenly say such a sentence, his eyes were gloomy, and he said: "For ordinary people, it is a rare ability, but for a blind man who can't see things, he has to do it. ”

Senior brother, has this kind of skill ever learned from a blind person? Zhang Wuji observed his senior brother's expression, and saw that he had no intention of talking about it, so he didn't dare to continue to ask.

The two sat down one after another.

Zhang Wuji saw that his unintentional sentence just now made Qiao Heng a little interested, and hurriedly changed the topic, he asked: "Senior brother, are you here for that incident during the day?" Of course, he regretted this sentence as soon as he asked, this topic seemed to be even worse. A person like Senior Brother would rather be crushed to pieces than show the slightest weakness, how could he confide in others in a low posture about his feelings after being slandered.

Qiao Heng didn't completely deny it, he said: "So to speak. ”

Zhang Wuji was stunned, obviously he didn't expect to be right. He said: "Senior brother don't have to worry about this matter, Chen Youliang is sinister and cunning, arrogant and arrogant, and wants to frame the blame and tarnish the reputation of the senior brother, so as to suppress the prestige of Wudang." The uncles and uncles have already noticed that he harbors evil intentions, no matter what conspiracy he has, Wudang is not afraid of him, and the senior brother can rest assured. ”

Qiao Heng didn't come to listen to this, he said: "I know that my junior brother has always kept in touch with the Ming Sect, and he is quite well-informed about the news in the righteous army. ”

Zhang Wuji nodded, "That's true." ”

Qiao Heng said solemnly: "Brother Lao does me a favor." ”

Zhang Wuji said: "Senior brother, if you have something, just give orders!"

"I want to see Chen Youliang. ”

Zhang Wuji's face froze when he heard this.

Senior Brother Song was slandered like this, even if he didn't care at the time, how could he really not care?

Qiao Heng knew too well what people from famous and decent families liked to hear, so he said again, "I think that at the beginning, Chen Youliang wanted to poison Master Tai with my hands, this person will become benevolent if he doesn't succeed, this plan can't be successful, there must be a second plan, and now it's just the beginning of another trick." Wudang has been dragged down by me a lot, and there are a lot of grievances between me and him, so it's time to get to an understanding. ”

It was said so loudly that he almost deceived himself.

Zhang Wuji once didn't understand why Senior Brother Song was so reluctant to return to Wudang Mountain. It was only now that he woke up from a dream. Senior brother is arrogant and intelligent, he naturally wants to know what kind of situation he will face after returning to Wudang, how can he endure it with his pride, and how can he be willing to return to Wudang?

It's just that it's not just that.

The senior brother was born in Wudang and grew up in Wudang, and he knew too well what kind of impact his existence would have on Wudang's reputation. So he changed his name and went incognito, lest someone would have anything to do with Wudang.

However, the senior brother's plans have completely destroyed him.

But even today, the senior brother still does not want Wudang's reputation to be damaged in the slightest, and he does not want Wudang to be slandered on the rivers and lakes because of the grudge between himself and Chen Youliang.

Zhang Wuji said tactfully and very carefully: "Let Senior Brother confess his guilt first, although I do know where Chen Youliang is now, and I have the ability to find him, but this matter is difficult for Senior Brother to obey." That Chen Youliang holds the power of the army, and there are even more people in the rivers and lakes who are confused by him, and their plans are very big, and now the senior brother is ...... is not in good health, and rashly confronts him, fearing that he will fall for the other party's strategy. ”

Anyone who is framed and slandered like this will want to prove his innocence, not to mention Senior Brother Song, who has a deep hatred with Chen Youliang, Senior Brother Song is afraid that he has long been eager to kill him and then quickly, but now he has to be the villain who stops this matter. Although the senior brother has the mastery of the swordsmanship in the "Nine Yin True Scripture", he has to urge it at the cost of his life, not to mention that Chen Youliang is the leader of the rebel army, and there are countless capable people around him, how can he sit back and watch the senior brother get into danger?

There was no anger on Qiao Heng's face, he just looked at Zhang Wuji levelly, and said, "Why should Sect Master Zhang speak so tactfully, bluntly saying that he is now like a waste, and he can't do it." ”

The long-lost voice of "Sect Leader Zhang" made Zhang Wuji's face turn pale, "No, senior brother, you listen to my explanation." ”

Zhang Wuji said: "The uncles and uncles have their own plans for this matter, and they will definitely seek justice for the senior brother and expose Chen Youliang's ......" He looked at Qiao Heng's eyes, and he couldn't go on halfway through his words.

Qiao Heng said very slowly: "They are them, and I am me." ”

- He was always just himself.
