10. Chapter 10: Answers
On the beams of the house, Su Wufu smiled and said: "It stands to reason that it is not easy for me as an outsider to participate in the matter of Lao Tzu teaching his son." After he smelled the smell of "medicinal porridge", the corners of his eyes raised slightly, and a trace of anger flashed: "However, is this a bit excessive!" β
Su Wuwu was waiting for Shen Aoduo's answer.
However, he did not wait for an answer.
Shen Ao snatched the Red Lotus Sword Trick with a stroke, and the Red Lotus Sword that was nailed into the table by Su Wuwu immediately changed direction and stabbed at Shen An. Shen An turned to avoid it, and then met Shen Aoduo and stabbed straight at Shen Aoduo wielding a green sword.
Fortunately, Shen An was busy accumulating merits this year and did not relax his practice. He silently recited the spirit weapon sword technique, and the fish scale water sword came out in response, and the hilt of the sword flew directly into Shen An's palm. However, there is too much difference in the cultivation of the two, and Shen An is overwhelmed just by accepting the recruitment.
The jade-inlaid long sword struck again to interfere with the battle situation, and Su Wuwu put his two fingers together against his forehead and silently recited the mantra. The jade-inlaid long sword stood up and flew diagonally into the middle of the two, the blade of the sword floating flat in the air, and the tip of the sword quickly rotated around the hilt, separating the father and son.
Su Wuwu jumped from the beam of the room to the table, and said coldly to Shen Aocao:
"You! Pass! Fire! Finish! Don't make me say it a third time!! β
Shen Aocao ignored Su Wuwu, he threw out the Red Lotus Long Sword, and the sword body flew to the top of Shen An's head, and after spinning, it was vertically facing the ground, actually trying to nail Shen An to the ground.
The jade-inlaid long sword was finally unsheathed, and the red lotus sword was split with a "ding". The collision of the two swords compares the level of the sword master's cultivation. Shen Ao was invincible, and was hit by Su Wuwu's true qi and took three steps back.
Seeing that Shen Aochou was determined to kill himself despite Su Wuwu's presence, Shen An's eyes showed a fierce light, ignoring the screaming call for deducting points in his mind, and he was murderous and stabbed Shen Aoctao with a sword.
"Are you going to invite all the people from the whole mountain villa to come and see the dignified Red Lotus Shen family, father and son cannibalism?!"
Su Wuwu couldn't bear it anymore, jumped off the table and stood between the two, recalled the jade-inlaid long sword and slashed down, and the ground actually cracked a thumb-thick hole. Seeing that the two fathers and sons of the Shen family still looked like they were not dying, Su Wuwu took out the wine gourd behind him, flicked open the mouth of the gourd with his thumb, and with a wave of his right hand, a sudden downpour fell in the room, pouring the father and son on their heads.
It's finally stopped.
Su Wuwu raised his eyebrows and said to Shen An, who was soaking wet: "Don't fight, you can't beat him." β
Then he turned his head to Shen Ao, who was constantly wiping his body, and said, "Don't fight, with me, I won't let you kill him." β
"If you inherit the Su family honestly, there is still room for you to intervene in the affairs of the Shen family, now ...... Why are you in charge of my family's affairs? β
Shen Ao asked with a gloomy face. Shen An's face was not good-looking, he was like a falcon looking for an opportunity, staring at Shen Aocao, waiting for the next move.
Su Wuwu looked at the tense appearance of the two and said sharply:
"I am Su Yao's brother! With Shen An's blood, my Su family has it in his body!! With my sister knowing that she is not feeling well, she gave birth to two children for you, and I can manage it!! β
Shen Aoduo couldn't refute it.
It was his own carelessness, Su Wuwu didn't leave at all, he was just waiting for himself to show his feet, Shen Aoduo was secretly angry. However, what made him even more angry was that Shen An's current cultivation was far superior to Shen Ping's. Obviously, when he tested him a year ago, his innate qi had not yet been opened. However, at this moment, Shen An actually faintly showed signs of building a foundation.
Shen Aoduo thought that he knew every corner of the Red Lotus Villa like he was in charge, and no one could escape his eyes. Who changed Shen An?!
Looking at his son, Shen Aocao asked, "When did you find out that there was a problem with the porridge?" β
ββ¦β¦ When my mother died. Of course, Shen An couldn't tell him the real reason.
- It's Su Yao again! The haunted woman!
Only Su Yao, who was born in the Su family, had the ability to make the sick Shen An quickly become stronger. Only Su Yao, who is well-versed in medicine and poison, can teach Shen An to discern and dissolve. Only Su Yao, who knew that Si Ming Zhenren had given his orders, could instigate Shen An to confront him.
Only Su Yao can invite that "wanderer" to come out and meddle in his affairs.
This woman who gets in the way!
Shen Aoduo suppressed his anger, turned to Su Wuwu and asked, "Did Su Yao call you here?" β
"No, on the contrary, it was Ah Yao who asked me not to come to her for the next ten years, because I didn't agree with her having a second child at all." Su Wuwu said with a gloomy face: "She wants a child, she wants a child with your and her blood flowing in it." Back then, she knew that she was not suitable for childbirth, but she also had to give birth to Shen An. I thought she would survive the catastrophe and live in peace. Who knew that in a few years, she would give birth to Shen Ping again. At that time, I tried my best to persuade her not to move, but when she really liked the child, she could only let her go. β
"Phew!" With a bang, Su Wuwu slammed the bowl to the ground and yelled at Shen Aoduo: "Ah Yao is so difficult to give birth to an heir for your Shen family, and you repay her like this?!" β
After a moment of silence, Shen Aocao suddenly spoke:
"The sky is shattering and the lonely star, the ghosts and gods are disdainful, the four families are annihilated, and the three domains are all killed."
Shen Aocao said coldly with disgust: "This is Shen An's order, and it was ordered by Si Zhenren. β
Hearing the name of Si Ming Zhenren, Su Wuwu's mind was like being struck by lightning, and he was shocked for a moment, and then he was furious: "You are talking nonsense!" Si Ming Zhenren had already been sealed five hundred years ago! β
"Because he owes me a proverb from the Shen family." Shen Ao was expressionless: "You know Shen Tianyuan." β
"Thunder." Su Wuwu snorted coldly, the only person who has been feathered and ascended to immortal in the past six hundred years is from the Shen family. Shen Ao seized the opportunity to recite it, and he couldn't wait for everyone in the world to know that this famous man was from the Shen family.
"The four families once helped Si Ming Zhenren survive a catastrophe, and Si Ming Zhenren took the four lives as a thank you gift. At that time, only Shen Tianyuan did not ask for proverbs. Si Ming Zhenren said that even if he was sealed in the future, the descendants of the Shen family could still seek prophecy from him. β
"In addition, it is to find the Child of Destiny." Shen Aoduo continued: "Even if it is a real person, he can't be indifferent to watch the gods and demons war recur after a thousand years. In order to find the Son of the Mandate of Heaven who can end a qiΔ, he must first find someone related to the Mandate of Heaven. Since I am determined to save the world from fire and water, I can't refuse my request in public or private. β
He went to ask about the future, but got an answer he didn't want to know.
Su Wuwu was silent, and Shen Aoctao knew that he was about to be moved by his own words: "You won't forget your master Yuanming Zhenjun." He has been looking for magic weapons to cultivate secret techniques for hundreds of years, but he still hasn't survived the thunderstorm...... Just like the order. Su Yao is also ...... The prophecy of the real man was never missed. β
Su Wuwu frowned: "With your temperament, if you get such an approval, how can you let An'er live until now?" β
"Because I swore a heart oath with Su Yao, I promised Su Yao that I would never kill Shen An......"
"And yet...... However, the cost ...... Just gave birth to Shen Ping, right?! β
Su Wuwu glared angrily, but Shen Aocao suddenly laughed: "I didn't expect that the person who knows me best is still you." That's right, if it weren't for Su Yao and me making a vow, this child would have died a long time ago. β
"I know you're trying to kill me now." Shen Aoduo looked arrogant, without the slightest guilt: "But you are at large, how can you know the current situation of the four families!" The Ma family has long been eyeing your family's territory, but you have withdrawn from the Song family's marriage contract. If it weren't for the support of my Red Lotus Shen family, do you think your Su family would be able to survive until now?! β
Qinxian Song family, iron pen horse family.
Shen An squinted his eyes, recalling their ending - anyway, they would all be swallowed up by the people of the Ghost Realm in the end, and sure enough, none of them in the Mortal Realm Immortal Cultivation Realm were good things.
"My Shen family needs an heir, just to maintain the balance of the four families. Everything I did was for the world, for the four families, for your Su family, and for our Shen family...... Even if I kill Shen An at this moment, I have a clear conscience! β
"No, it's not me who will destroy the Shen family, it's you, father."
Shen An, who had been looking at each other coldly, suddenly interjected:
"Father, you believe in the fate but let the child live until now, not just because of the Taoist vow. Because the father must let the child live, because the fate of the child also involves the future of the Red Lotus Shen family. β
"Father, isn't it entirely true that you are talking about the grant? Let the child complete the life. β
"The sky is a lonely star, and the ghosts and gods despise it. The four families were annihilated, and the three domains were killed. The luck of the fire lotus is the destiny of heaven. Success is also a disaster, and defeat is also a failure. β
Shen An's back was straight, looking directly at Shen Aoduo, his eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, spitting out his future word by word.
"Father wants to kill the child now, do you think the child can no longer be accused by you?"
The luck of the fire lotus is the destiny of heaven. Success is also a disaster, and defeat is also a failure.
The complete order given by Si Ming Zhenren, how could Shen An know!
- Su Yao!
Shen Aoduo gritted his teeth: "Did your mother tell you?" β
No, Shen An'an thought, it was your father who told me - me in my previous life.
Shen An once thought that Shen Aocao's harshness on him was nothing more than a strict father's love, but at that moment, he completely saw through that man's hatred for him.
He remembered the sorrow of begging for forgiveness from Shen Aoduo in his previous life, and the powerlessness of praying for family affection from a father.
However, he got an answer that he didn't want.
Shen An looked at Shen Aoduo, such an arrogant person, if he thought that his honest and obedient wife would actually betray him, how angry he would be.
It was you, Father, who taught me not to ask questions that you don't want to know the answers.
"I'm going to take this kid away."
Su Wuwu interrupted the conversation between the two. However, how could Shen Aozao agree! He held his sword and yelled at Su Wuwu: "If I tell the head of the Su family the truth, do you know what choice he will make?" β
Su Jinglin, the head of the Su family, Su Wuwu's uncle, and the only one in the Su family who can still suppress Su Wuwu.
"If you're not afraid of being hacked to death during the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation, you can sue him." Su Wuwu sneered: "Tiansha reincarnated, this news has flowed out, do you still want to be the leader of the 'Demon Slayer Alliance'?" β
"Shen Aoduo! I believe in the approval of the real person, but I also believe in the retribution of the heavenly cycle! Cultivators want to go against the heavens and think that they can destroy cause and effect, but how many of them are not bitter fruits? As Shen An said, if the Shen family ...... No, the entire cultivation realm has really collapsed, and the source of cause and effect is definitely not Shen An, but you! β
Su Wuwu ignored Shen Aoduo's changed expression, took a deep breath and said, "I hereby swear that if I find out that you dare to hurt Shen An in the slightest, Shen Aoduo you will never have to worry about what will happen to the fate of the four families, because I let you lose your life immediately!" Just like this table! β
Su Wuwu had a little luck and split the mahogany tea table into crumbs!
Su Wuwu no longer ignored Shen Aoduo, took Shen An's hand and walked out.
Shen Aoduo knew that he was invincible to Su Wuwu, so he could only grit his teeth and watch the two walk away.
When the backs of the two of them couldn't be seen, Shen Aocao couldn't calm down anymore, urging the "Red Lotus Ten Tribulations", and the monstrous anger swept through the whole body, and wherever the sword intent went, the flames spread, eating away at the leafy maple trees, entrenching on the top of the red lotus, greedily devouring the "Maple Fragrance Building".
- No one will ever remember the memories that were once missed in this small square area.
Shen Aoduo, who had left with his back, flicked his sleeves and let the fire spreadβfire could purify a qiΔ, including the shame of defeat.
However, he did not notice that in the corner of the house, the child was wrapped in a ball of fire.
- That's Shen Ping, who heard all the qiΔ.
My mother is ...... because she gave birth to me
The shattered roof was about to smash into Shen Ping, but the white gold fireβno, the flame that had evolved into a pure white color at this moment, turned into smoke and dust before the sawdust touched him.
- Flames not only purify, but also protect.
That was the truth that Su Yao had once confided in Shen Ping. However, the child, surrounded by the fire of hatred, could no longer appreciate the good intentions of his mother when he said this.
No! I didn't kill my mother! It's Shen An! It's Shen An's fault! It's all Shen An's fault!! My mother was killed by him! She was killed by Shen An!
The eyes can no longer hold back the surging tears, the child wrapped in the fireball, the tears have not been evaporated by the high temperature, but Shen Ping, who has found the target of hatred, can no longer feel the sadness and pain buried by resentment in his heart.
He just repeated it over and over again:
Mother...... Is it ...... Shen An...... Harm...... Die...... Target......
========================================================
Outside the mountain, Shen An looked at the red lotus mountain glowing with fire, and shouted in his heart: Freedom...... This seat is free......
Su Wuwu looked thoughtfully at Shen An's excited side face - the blazing fire reflected his eyes.
Shen An's eyes looked like his mother's, but his lips looked like his father's.
Those with thin lips are thin.
Su Wuwu suddenly remembered the days when he was young, and occasionally went to Taixuan Dayan to visit his sister. The maple trees in the mountain behind Xuanyin, red dripping blood, when the sun sets, it is like a fire. The burning red of the fire reflected the side face of the Sichun girl, revealing the temptation of a moth fighting a fire.
- Capricious, that is the power that is abused by the amorous.
He remembered the boring conversations he had with his sister in his hazy memories.
"What the hell do you like about him?"
"Hmm...... I love his face...... And also...... His all. β
The boring dialogue that he should have forgotten about jì, the meaningless scene that should have been discarded, was preserved because he was reluctant to let go of the girl who had just fallen in love, and missed the beautiful look of his lover.
"Uncle, let's go."
Shen An's voice pulled Su Wuwu back from his memories, and his nephew's cheerful and comfortable smiling face overlapped with the girl in his memories.
Love is deep and longevity, and wisdom will hurt.
Red dust temptation, but that's it.
