Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Hand of the Son
Tonight, the wind is slow and the clouds are thin, and a bright moon is in the sky.
Ye Chuan had too many mysteries in his heart, and it was really difficult to sleep, so he simply put on his shoes and socks and walked to the window to watch the night view. Counting the days, today is the ninth day of August, and it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in five days.
The Mid-Autumn Festival should be a day for family reunions!
Ye Chuan is not a pessimistic person, but his parents died when he was a child, and his first love became a victim of the power struggle, and then he was forced to "defect" to the division, witnessing Bai Miao being wiped out by the Qilin Sect, and taking Long Xiaoshan alone, He Qingqing was displaced...... Now the master who loves him the most can't meet him, and the life and death of his master brother Xiao Han who cares about him the most is uncertain, and the two apprentices were lost in the rebellion in Qianji Valley, and just learned that one of his biological sisters was stolen...... Under this situation, I naturally couldn't help but feel sad in my heart, sighed, and slowly closed my eyes.
"Although my background is miserable, at least I know the names of my parents, but Senior Sister Ling'er doesn't even know who her parents are......"
This inn is very large, the front building and the back building, the left and right wings, just enclosed a small courtyard, there are two cross-shaped paths in the courtyard, the remaining open space is full of flowers and plants, the center of the cross building has a knee-high flower bed, the flower bed is planted with a lot of moon seasons, there are red and white. The flowering period of the moon season is from August to April of the next year, and now it is the time when the moon season has just bloomed, and when Ye Chuan looked down, he happened to see the flowers in the flower bed, and he was a little distracted for a while, and gradually left all the thoughts in his heart behind.
A slender figure entered Ye Chuan's field of vision from under the window lattice, and slowly walked towards the flower bed, Ye Chuan couldn't help but feel his heart moved, and thought, "Senior sister? What is she doing when she comes out at this time, and she can't sleep? β
Su Ling's friendship with Ye Chuan has never changed over the years, even if Ye Chuan was in love with Miss Xia, she didn't know about Su Ling's kindness, she never wavered, and on the day she silently broke into Qiushui Villa, Su Ling blocked a palm for Ye Chuan without the slightest hesitation, if it weren't for Song Yingxing in Jiangnan, she might not be alive now.
"Senior Sister Su Ling has always treated me sincerely, and I have seen his body in Kongming Valley again...... Besides, I have already married her in front of my master, and it is a natural thing to marry her as my wife, so it is a good time to show my heart to her! β
Thinking like this, Ye Chuan's body moved, jumped out of the small window, and landed behind Su Ling, in order to let Su Ling hear, he deliberately added some strength when he landed.
As soon as Su Ling walked to the flower bed, he heard a sound behind him, and hurriedly turned around, and when he saw Ye Chuan, he couldn't help but be a little nervous, and said, "Master...... Senior brother, why haven't you slept yet? β
On the night when Ye Chuan and Xia Qing met for the last time, when they came back, they bumped into Su Ling, and her expression was also like this.
Ye Chuan said: "My heart is a little messy, and I can't sleep well, so I came out for a walk, what about you?" Do you have anything on your mind? β
Su Ling shook his head and nodded again, but did not answer, Ye Chuan smiled slightly, and said, "Since you can't sleep, why don't I tell you about my experience during this time, do you want to hear it?" β
Su Ling said "um", Ye Chuan stepped forward and took her hand, Su Ling coldly caught him from shaking his hand, and unconsciously wanted to dodge, but her martial arts were all lost at this time, if Ye Chuan wanted to grab her hand, where could she hide? had to let Ye Chuan pull him and sit down by the flower bed.
Ye Chuan waited for her to sit down, let go of his hand, and said, "I know you are sad to hear it, but this matter has to start with Xia Qing......"
Su Ling's body trembled slightly, and then said: "Miss Xia is very good, she died tragically in prison, I ...... I'm very sad too......"
Ye Chuan said: "When I returned to the door that day, I heard that the Xia family had fallen and Xia Qing committed suicide, which was indeed very devastating, and under the resentment, he sneaked into the Yan Mansion at night and prepared to assassinate Yan Song." β
Su Ling couldn't help but be taken aback, and said, "The person who assassinated Yan Song, is it really you?" After your disappearance, Master strictly forbade the disciples to talk about it, and we still don't know what happened that day. β
Ye Chuan nodded, and then told him how he failed to assassinate, was captured by Liu and Zuo, and how he was taken on the boat to "escort" to YN, Su Ling listened quietly, and the concern in his eyes gradually overshadowed his surprise.
Ye Chuan then said that when he encountered a spirit snake attack, Liu and Zuo were injured and fled, he was rescued by the Bai Miao people, and obtained the holy blood that is inviolable, and later found the traces of the Qilin Sect, which caused the Qilin Sect to start a war against Bai Miao in advance, and he was defeated by the Blood Phoenix, fell into the hands of the Qilin Sect, and was silently cast against the Qi Lock Acupoint.
Regarding the pain of the Qi Tribulation, Ye Chuan did not describe it in too much detail, but Su Ling still nervously clenched his knuckles white, and when it came to the tragic love between Tie Lian and Shen Mo, Su Ling was a little stupid again, and looked away in a daze.
After Ye Chuan escaped from the Qilin Sect with the help of Tie Lian, found He Qingqing and Long Xiaoshan, and took the two of them to Qianji Valley and other things, it was easier to say, after all, it was a blessing in misfortune, and when Ye Chuan talked about meeting with the senior brothers and brothers of the Taiqing Palace, Su Ling's demeanor gradually returned to normal.
Later, when it came to the righteous path, the whole army went out to fight, and there was a sudden change in the valley, He Qingqing and Long Xiaoshan did not know where to go, and everyone fled from the Thousand Machines Valley on the blue bird...... The topic gradually became heavy again, Su Ling seemed to be in it, frowning slightly for a while, looking eager for a while, after Ye Chuan finished saying that the dart master who pretended to be the Tiger Wei Dart Bureau entered the city, he suddenly held Su Ling's hand again, and said: "Until I finally saw you in the Ziying Palace, I felt that the pain I had suffered for a while had disappeared, junior sister, I hugged you in front of so many people, I really couldn't help it, I hope you don't get angry with me." β
Su Ling suddenly lowered his head and whispered, "Senior brother...... Don't say that, how could I be mad at you......"
"Senior sister, I have long understood your intentions, and I am only to blame for lingering in the mirror at that time, I really can't live with you...... After you resisted the silent slap for me, I made up my mind to cut off contact with Miss Xia, and from then on I will be devoted to you, who knows...... Who knew that she later learned that Miss Xia committed suicide in prison, and she didn't even have time to say goodbye...... I was so dizzy for a moment that I did something stupid and reckless, so that I never had the opportunity to tell you what was in my heart, and I wonder if I can save your mind if I say it now......"
Su Ling's heart was like a deer, his mind was blank, and he didn't know how to answer, so he said nonsense: "I...... You don't have to...... I actually ......"
Ye Chuan got up and came to the opposite side of Su Ling, squatted down, looked up at her and said: "Senior sister, if the chaos is imminent today, you and I, as disciples of Taiqing, should live in peace with Kuang Fu Justice, and we must not sit idly by and watch the people of the world be slaughtered, besides, Shen Mo is the enemy who killed my parents, I have already been caught in this catastrophe, maybe it won't be long before I will die on the battlefield against the Qilin Sect, so ...... I shouldn't have told you these things, but I'm afraid that if I don't say them now, I won't have a chance again. β
Su Ling raised his head slightly, his face was already full of tears, and said astringently: "Senior brother......"
Ye Chuan looked into her eyes and said firmly: "Maybe my life is short, and I can't allow you to be with me for the rest of my life, but as long as I, Ye Chuan, live in this world for a moment, I will love you and protect you with all my heart, and I won't let you suffer a little grievance, and I won't let you be hurt a little." β
Su Ling's emotion was beyond words, and he couldn't speak for a long time, just stared at Ye Chuan's handsome face in a daze, the two looked at each other speechlessly, and after a while, they heard Su Ling say in a trembling voice: "Senior brother...... No matter what happens to you in the future, I am willing to always be by your side and live and die with you. β
The two of them stood up together, Ye Chuan held Su Ling's hands tightly, and said with a smile: "The ancients said that 'death and life are broad, talk to Zicheng, hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son', I hope that after the matter of the Qilin Sect subsides, we can find a paradise to live in, and no longer care about these troubles in the world." β
Su Ling couldn't help but burst into laughter, gently threw himself into Ye Chuan's arms, pressed his cheek against his chest, and whispered: "May I be like the stars and the moon, and I will be bright and clean night after night." β
The moonlight pours, flowers send incense, the night breeze gusts, and the cicadas sound melodious...... At this time, there was nothing but each other in the eyes of the two of them, but they didn't know that somewhere in this inn, a woman dressed in gray quietly raised the corners of her mouth.
Under the same bright moon, on the way to Songshan Shaolin Temple, it was a different scene.
Li Muyun led the righteous path of eighty elite galloped day and night, and finally arrived at the foot of Song Mountain, but at this time the team was already sleepy and tired, it was difficult to go up the mountain overnight, Li Muyun had to order to camp and rest, tomorrow morning to meet the abbot of Shaolin Temple Master Mingkong, Zhenwu took the initiative to ask Ying, wanted to go up the mountain overnight to report, Li Muyun readily agreed.
The righteous path coalition army ran around for days, exhausted, after Zhenwu went up the mountain, most of the people were seizing the time to rest, but He Zeyuan was not, he took the spirit snake alone to a quiet place near the camp, sat down cross-legged, and made a strange shape with his left and right hands, and after a while, the nearby soil began to loosen, and more than a dozen poisonous insects took the lead in drilling out of it, shaking off the dirt chips on their bodies one after another, and let out a cheerful cry.
Immediately afterwards, more and more poisonous insects crawled out of the soil, covering almost the entire ground densely, He Zeyuan suddenly opened his eyes, and tens of thousands of poisonous insects immediately spread their wings and flew up, gathering into a dark cloud in mid-air, which did not disperse for a long time.
As soon as He Zeyuan's fingertips were drawn, the "poisonous cloud" swirled and flew around him, and the shape of the flight trajectory of each circle was different, and it went around about 30 times before and after, and He Zeyuan's palm turned over, and the "poisonous cloud" immediately dispersed, turning into a little flying insect and burrowing into the soil again.
"Come out." He Zeyuan suddenly said in Miao language.
After a short silence, a short figure stepped out from behind a tree not far awayβLong Xiaoshan.
Long Xiaoshan walked across from He Zeyuan and asked straight to the point, "You ate the big golden silkworm Gu left by the old patriarch, didn't you?" β
He Zeyuan was silent, and Long Xiaoshan said again: "It must be so, I know, you are not so strong." β
The snake hissed and spat out the snake letter, and there was no other sound here.
"You ate the Great Elder's Heavenly God Gu, didn't you?" He Zeyuan asked calmly.
Long Xiaoshan nodded, "Yes, the Great Elder entrusted it to my master, my master said that he would use it for me in the future, and there is nothing wrong with me eating it." β
He Zeyuan said "um", and then said, "What do you want to say?" β
The ancestors said...... The Great Golden Silkworm Gu can only be offered, not used! You...... But you ate it! β
The "Big Golden Silkworm Gu" in the Longxiao Pass is a sacred object left by Bai Miao's ancestors, with extremely strong ability and extremely violent personality, there have been two generations of patriarchs in Bai Miao who want to tame it and take risks, but they are all killed by the Big Golden Silkworm Gu, and then this Gu Bei is put into a huge jar that has always been used as a god offering, and a large number of poisonous insects are put into the jar every month, and after a long time, no one dares to try to tame this terrible Gu worm.
He Zeyuan glanced at Long Xiaoshan, Long Xiaoshan unconsciously took a step back, and the former said lightly: "Why do you want to eat the Heavenly God Gu?" β
Long Xiaoshan was stunned and said, "Before, Qingqing and I were caught by Feng Bukong, and we can only escape by eating it. β
He Zeyuan stared at Long Xiaoshan for a long time, Long Xiaoshan swallowed his saliva, and took another step forward, He Zeyuan suddenly showed a rare smile on his face, and said: "You like my sister, my sister likes you too, very good, very good." β
Long Xiaoshan was slightly stunned, only to hear He Zeyuan continue: "For her, you are willing to eat the Heavenly God Gu and endure great torture, I believe you will treat her well in the future." β
"You ate the Heavenly God Gu to save people, I ate the Great Golden Silkworm Gu for revenge, there is nothing right or wrong, after the Great Golden Silkworm Gu ate the original Golden Silkworm Gu in my body, my ability is even stronger, if it weren't for the silence and many subordinates around me, I could take his life alone."
"Being able to endure the pain of Gu worm body change, that is, the owner of Gu worms, the ancestors set up an ancestral precept not to use the Great Golden Silkworm Gu, just to protect everyone, but now, everyone is no longer there......"
No wonder white hair grew on He Zeyuan's head, no wonder his body became so thin, wanting to tame the Great Golden Silkworm Gu that had killed two generations of patriarchs, its danger was simply not the same as taming the Heavenly God Gu, Long Xiaoshan silently lowered his head and whispered, "I heard...... There was a patriarch who had tamed the Great Golden Silkworm Gu for a short time, but after a month, his whole body festered and died. β
He Zeyuan said: "It doesn't matter if I'm dead, you can take care of Qingqing for me." β
Long Xiaoshan bit his lip and said word by word: "But I also want to take revenge!" β
He Zeyuan was silent for a moment and said, "Have you heard about Ming'an?" β
Long Xiaoshan didn't know why he said this, and shook his head slightly.
He Zeyuan looked away and said slowly: "She is a beautiful girl, all the other women in this world combined, they can't compare to her beauty......" Saying this, he paused slightly, "Maybe Qingqing has grown up and can be similar to her......"
"She is from outside the village, and she has been in the village for two months, at that time, she likes to watch me chop wood and carry water, like to follow me to practice Gu and collect medicine, we look at the stars and the moon in the grass in the back mountain, and talk about many happy and beautiful things."
"She can sing very good songs of the Central Plains, I don't understand the lyrics, but I think her songs are the best in the world."
"I knitted a ring out of flowers and plants, sent it to her, and made a lifelong vow with her, Abba did not agree to our marriage at first, and then couldn't help Grandma's nagging, and finally agreed."
Long Xiaoshan was stunned when he heard this, but He Zeyuan suddenly stopped, choked up, listened for a while, and then continued: "But later, I saw her die in front of me with my own eyes......"
Long Xiaoshan couldn't help but shout: "Why! Who killed her? β
He Zeyuan did not answer this question and continued: "I have experienced the loss of a beloved, and I don't want He Qingqing to experience it again. β
Only then did Long Xiaoshan understand that He Zeyuan didn't want him to participate in revenge, so he lowered his head silently, and after a while, He Zeyuan said again: "Although the person who killed him didn't mean it, I will never forgive him for the rest of my life......"
"Is he a person from the Red Seedlings, or a person from the Green Seedlings?"
"Neither, the person who killed her indirectly was me, and the person who killed her directly was it."
Long Xiaoshan couldn't help but be taken aback, looked at He Zeyuan, and then looked in the direction of his gaze-
Spirit Snake! β¦β¦
