Chapter 80: Memories Become Wounds
"This life is like a ship that sets sail, no matter how many relatives and friends accompany you before you set sail, you can't get rid of the fate of being alone in the end. In the face of the vast sea, the road ahead is full of all kinds of unknowns and uncertainties, and only by getting rid of distracting thoughts, avoiding all temptations, and being at the helm of yourself wholeheartedly, can you not let your life deviate from the original track. I used to think so, but even if I neglected everything, put everything behind, in the end I still couldn't live the way I once wanted, and I was saved by someone who I had always regarded as an opponent, how sad and desolate it was! ”
When Uncle Bian said this, his voice was low and hoarse, his eyes were empty, his wheat-colored face was crawling with traces of time, and he was no longer uninhibited when he first met, only revealing a faint sadness, accompanied by helplessness, but it had already made Murong Zetao freeze in place, and bursts of unknown emotions collided with his heart, becoming more and more violent, only to feel that his chest was stuffy, and he was about to suffocate!
As if feeling the uneasiness and restlessness of the people around her, Xia Xue'er reached out and gently stroked Murong Zetao's arm, as if persuading, and like enlightenment, she only said softly: "With the passage of time bit by bit, all the past, whether beautiful, sad, bland, or frightening, can no longer be picked up, even so, what can force oneself to move forward is still the wisp of affection for the past." ”
For Uncle Bian, fifteen years, such a long time, all the unwillingness and resentment may have been exhausted, only the guilt and regret will deepen day by day, and the heart will eventually become empty......
Looking at the two of them again, there was no sense of concern for himself and no worries about it before, but a touch of worry.
Memories are like an undercurrent surging river, once you are deeply trapped in it, you will be unable to extricate yourself, or struggle in pain or resign yourself to fate, and in the end you will not die in it, but you will also toss half of your life! People can't always live in the past, put away the dust of memories, and travel lightly to live better, right?
Xia Xue'er suddenly sneered again, a burst of self-deprecation, what qualifications did she have to admonish Murong Zetao, wasn't she the same? It's not just Murong Zetao who is obsessed with the past, but also himself! One is that I can't let go of my father's resentment of leaving to protect others, and the other is that I can't let go of the guilt of enjoying life with the identity and name of others.
After all, what is the difference between the two?
Thinking like this, sadness spreads for a while. Suddenly, there was a burning pain in his chest, and he subconsciously looked down, and a strange red light reflected through the silkworm veil, flickered three or two, and went out...... And so it is again!
"What's wrong?"
Feeling the jade hand on his arm suddenly stiffened, Murong Zetao came back to his senses and looked down at Xia Xue'er, who was frowning, with a look of concern.
Xia Xue'er looked up at Murong Zetao's worried face, and couldn't help but feel confused and guilty, and forgot the burning pain in her chest for a while. She only had a few relationships with him, and one was the hall master of the terrifying killer organization, and the other was the deputy valley master of a mysterious sect known in a narrow sense, both said that good and evil were not mutually exclusive, but why did he look at him with anxiety in his eyes, why was his concern so natural? Why would he be willing to treat someone he doesn't know as his sister? Why...... The handsome face in front of her full of concern really melted all the defenses in her heart.
Cluelessly, he asked, "Do you know Xia Xue'er?" ”
Murong Zetao looked surprised, what kind of problem is this!
"Do you know Xia Xue'er from before?" Then he added: "Before the amnesia." ”
"Oh, this~" Murong Zetao suddenly realized what she meant by asking, but he didn't know why she asked like this, shook his head and replied, "I don't know." Does it matter? ”
"Oh~No." Xia Xue'er shook her head, looking cute.
Since she came to this world, she has known a lot of people, but there are very few people who are really related to herself, Su Han is one, and it seems that only Murong Zetao is left!
Why turn people away from thousands of miles away? Why is there such a sense of fear?
She often **** herself, and when she can't find an answer, she attributes this qiē to the real owner of this body.
Murong Zetao saw that Xia Xue'er was in a daze again, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, why did this girl always look sentimental? Stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes, "Old clothes will make you sick if you have so many things in your heart!" Wouldn't it be nice to be relaxed and carefree? ”
Xia Xue'er came back to her senses, and only smiled slightly without words. That's right, she's sick, that's her illness, she can't be calm, she can't face it.
Sensing that Murong Zetao was about to speak, he guessed that it was mostly persuasion, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Since the official government's seizure of Dengxian Tower is related to the killing of the eldest prince fifteen years ago, then there must be a name, right?" What is the charge? ”
"This happened suddenly, I didn't see the edict or the arrest order, but after the seizure, several prisoners were arrested one after another, it is said that they are the disciples of the sect operating in the city, but they did not say which sect and what sect they are disciples of, so they are panicking, and they are all speculating whether the Rong boss of Dengxian Tower can't stand the punishment and recruits."
After Xia Xue'er heard this, she said without thinking about it: "Impossible! "What kind of person Uncle Rong is, others don't know that she knows, if you want to say that Uncle Rong will betray the rivers and lakes in order to save her life, she won't believe it anyway!
Immediately seeing Murong Zetao and Uncle Bian both looking at her suspiciously, she realized that her reaction was too fierce and inevitably suspicious, but fortunately, there was still room for recovery in the situation, so she opened her mouth to explain: "If that's the case, then how can you and I sit here peacefully at this moment and discuss things?" ”
Seeing that the vigilance in the eyes of the two disappeared and turned her head, Xia Xue'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief, blaming this urgency, and almost said that she had leaked her mouth! Thanks to the teachings and training of the master, she must be able to achieve Mount Tai collapse in front of her without changing color, and the elk is happy on the left and does not look instantaneous.
"I heard that when the government seized Dengxian Tower, a lot of things were searched, will there be any books that record the affairs of the rivers and lakes?"
Xia Xue'er learned to be obedient this time and didn't act recklessly. She knew that it was absolutely impossible for the government to search for anything useful, let alone a book containing the affairs of the rivers and lakes, after all, those things were stored in the information cabinet on the sixth floor, and earlier she had clearly confirmed that the little stone lion on the eaves was no different!
Pretending to be puzzled, he asked: "Dengxian Tower is an ordinary restaurant, those things in the rivers and lakes have nothing to do with him making money, what did he record it for?" ”
Murong Zetao looked Xia Xue'er up and down, then looked at Xia Xue'er with a strange expression and asked, "Do you know who is the boss behind the Dengxian Tower?" ”
Looking at the strange look on his face, Xia Xue'er's heart tightened, did he know? But even so, he still asked lightly and calmly: "Who?" ”
"No one knows." Murong Zetao shrugged his shoulders and said, Xia Xue'er breathed a sigh of relief and put her mind at ease.
"But ......" Murong Zetao glanced at her with amusement and continued: "Netherworld Valley is known as the number one mysterious gang in the world, isn't there a little clue? ”
Xia Xue'er sneered and replied, "What is the world's number one mysterious gang, it's just the boring words of boring people, where is it mysterious?" Don't you know me? I'm not too mysterious! ”
"That's just as well." Murong Zetao nodded thoughtfully after hearing this.
But Uncle Bian is not so easy to fool, if it comes to mystery, Netherworld Valley says that he is the second, then who dares to say that he is the first?! Since its inception, for hundreds of years, it is only known that it is famous all over the world, but who knows where its nest is? It's just that it's very large, but who can tell how many disciples it has? I only know that the green rainbow feather is its treasure, but who has ever seen the true appearance of the green rainbow feather? for all that have seen it have become dead......
Mysterious, the Netherworld Valley is like this, and the Dengxian Tower is also the same, it is difficult to ensure that there is no connection between the two.
Suddenly, Xia Xue'er felt Uncle Bian's gaze, with a strong sense of inquiry, sharp and sharp, but when she turned her head, she found that he was not actually looking at herself, could it be her own delusion again?
Why have you been hallucinating lately, Fang Cai's burning feeling is like this, and so is Uncle Bian's eyes......
"If it's not Netherworld, who is it?"
"It's a big river, and no one knows?"
"If you know, you won't say it, there are often traces of Dengxian Tower in the history books, but no one has ever mentioned where it belongs, in my opinion, it is definitely a force that cannot be ignored!"
Just as each dynasty has its own book that records its major events, there is also such a book in the rivers and lakes that specifically records the major events in the rivers and lakes and the history of the rise and fall of the development of various sects, which is the history book mentioned by Murong Zetao.
"In that case, we must be unable to touch its roots with our weak ability, after all, no one has seen its true face for hundreds of years."
"Aren't you worried?"
"Worried about what?"
Looking at Xia Xue'er's innocent look, Murong Zetao really didn't know if she was too stupid or too naïve! Dengxian Tower has been in the downtown for nearly 100 years, and has always been a gathering place and conference hall for people from the rivers and lakes. Dare to ask today, from the south to the north, what sect has not set foot in it? Big and small, what does it not know? Although it had not interfered in the affairs of the various factions before, and the secrecy had been done quite well, it was inevitable that it had not recorded it. Over the years, there are no longer a few things that the rivers and lakes and the court have done against each other, and although those things have changed over time, if they are turned out, it will be real evidence of crime! Although the court will not be unhappy with the rivers and lakes because of this, after all, his past is in the hands of others, which is a kind of handle, and who wants to be pinched by others all the time to live? Besides, as long as it involves the change fifteen years ago, how can the imperial court let it go, it is always a scar on its heart, how can it forget the pain? He didn't even understand such a simple truth, she was still not the smart and clever woman he knew!
Murong Zetao said angrily: "Of course, I'm worried that your Netherworld Valley will become the next target of disaster!" Don't get caught then, I don't know who hurt you! ”
In this regard, Xia Xueer first smiled indifferently, then spread out her hands and replied indifferently: "Since it is something that can't even be recorded in the history books, how much do you think he will know?" Besides, there is nothing to see in the Netherworld Valley, and I am not afraid that he will say it, so I don't believe it, then the emperor will still be able to distinguish right from wrong! But someone is different, be careful! Hahahaha~~~" After speaking, he still looked like he didn't think it was a big deal to watch the play, and looking at Murong Zetao smiling was called a bad beating!
"You!" Xia Xue'er said this as a matter of course, but it made Murong Ze angry. Yes, the Netherworld Valley is a gang of benevolence and righteousness, but he doesn't believe that there is really nothing going on! There will be no dirt at all! Stretched out a trembling finger and pointed at the gloating woman in front of her, and she couldn't say anything angry! It's true that he has always been used to her, letting her speak indiscriminately, making her laugh at his lore palace, and letting her sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight! It's also a shame that this person is Xia Xue'er, if it were someone else, he would have to cut out her tongue, gouge out her eyes, and beat her half to death before he could relieve his anger! ……
It's a shame that he treats her as a sister, and he's really angry!
Seeing that Murong Zetao was eager to peel his skin and cramp and cook it, Xia Xue'er stopped laughing, waved her hand to restore her seriousness, and said, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you." Since you treat me as a sister, how can I not save my sister, right? It's just that instead of wasting time and energy here to figure out who is the boss behind it, we should go in and find out! Regarding the ledger, I think it's better to believe it than to believe it! ”
That's right, her purpose is not only to dispel the suspicions of the two, but also to find someone to accompany her in, after all, if she wants to rescue Uncle Rong, then she needs to get more information. It is obvious that the government has set a trap and is waiting to catch the turtle in the urn, but she is now blocked in the meridians, and if a person enters it, he must become the turtle in the urn, if you add these two people, the ending will be very different! Although Murong Zetao looks like a hanger, he is also a naïve ghost, but his martial arts are not bad, and he can even compare with Su Qi! Not to mention the blue-robed man Uncle Bian, who is a real senior-level Cunzài, who can escape from the melee fifteen years ago, how bad can he be? Even if she encountered an ambush, she believed that Murong Zetao would never leave her, and Uncle Bian would never leave Murong Zetao, so it would never be a problem to retreat.
"In order to figure out the cause and effect of the matter, in order to rescue Uncle Rong, and for the sake of the Netherworld Valley, I have to use the two of you, although it is very unbearable, but I have no other way, I am really sorry, forgive me, forgive me......" Xia Xue'er apologized to Murong Zetao over and over again in her heart, she knew that he was good to her, but she really had no choice.
With the help of the two, this time there will be a harvest!
