Prologue: The Puzzle
Legend has it that martial arts do not exist, but they do not know that they are hidden in the court, under the calm urban life, the dark tide is surging, crime, fighting, and killing are constantly spreading, and there are rivers and lakes where there are people, and life is also a kind of rivers and lakes.
There is never a last resort, and some are just involuntarily.
On this night, there were no stars, no moon, and it was pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers.
Heaven and earth seem to have returned to the primitive, one and the same, and everything is completely submerged in boundless darkness.
"Boom" thunder rumbled, and then a white lightning bolt tore through the sky, bringing instant light to the earth, and at the same time seemed to tear the earth apart.
The lightning lit up again, illuminating a broken wall and ruins of Wudang Mountain, and also illuminating a terrifying scene!
These dozens of corpses, including monks in monk's robes, black-clothed killers with sharp knives, Taoist priests in Taoist uniforms, and even soldiers, these corpses were all killed by a sword, but the sword marks were different, obviously the murderer was not alone.
What is the reason for this cruel war?
Lightning flashed at once, illuminating the faces of two men and women.
Woman, in her twenties, beautiful appearance, skin light better than snow, eyes like clear water, wearing a strong suit and holding a sword with cold light flowing, the sword body is like autumn water, the sword is condensed and the blade is like snow.
The man, in his early thirties, flew obliquely into his temples with sword eyebrows, his eyes were as bright as the brightest stars in the starry sky, but his face was down, his beard covered his face, sloppy, with a helpless wry smile on the corner of his mouth, and he was holding a very quaint-looking sword in his hand, but it was full of the vicissitudes of history without sword light.
Women and men confronted each other, and the murderous aura of women seeped into the void like the water of a great river, constantly pressing the nerves of men, but men stood still like Mount Tai.
They didn't make a move, but they confronted each other for a long time, and I don't know how long it took for the man to sigh and say, "I didn't want to kill people anymore." ”
"These people deserve to die because they're greedy." The woman said, her voice cold.
"That's right, it's a pity that I didn't have what they wanted." The man said.
"I'm sure you don't."
"Then why are you pestering me to death?"
"I just want you to go back with me, a heroic man can only be a hero whose destiny is struggle and loneliness."
There was silence.
After a while, the man sighed in a helpless tone: "Aoxue, senior brother, please let me go, I'm really tired, I just want to be an ordinary person." ”
"I can't imagine that back then, the sword split the Jianghuai Seven Heroes, killed the Japanese karate master with three palms, and single-handedly dared to break into the ninjutsu array of nine high-level ninjas to save the family, killing countless people, killing countless foreign enemies, killing countless traitors, and Tang Hai, a hot hand who made the enemy famous and frightened, would say such frustrating words! If it weren't for the 'Taihe Heaven Replenishing Sword', I really doubt that you would be the Senior Brother Tang Hai I have admired since I was a child. Tang Aoxue's sarcasm pierced Tang Hai's heart, but Tang Hai seemed indifferent.
Tang Hai sighed, didn't pay attention to Tang Aoxue's sarcasm, looked up at the starry sky, and was just sad and depressed: "Tang Hai is still Tang Hai, but now he is soft-hearted, he has lost the heart of a swordsman, when a swordsman's heart is no longer full of edge, then he is no longer worthy of using a sword." ”
"No, Senior Brother Hai, I believe you can still find your swordsman's heart."
"But I don't want to get it back, because I'm tired, my heart is too tired, Aoxue, you're too young, you don't understand these things, I've been heartbroken by this family, it's dirty, it's cowardly, I'm because I'm high-spirited, because my body can't help myself, I've lost too much, beloved woman, confidante, I'm tired, I'm really tired, I don't want to pay attention to those things anymore."
There is no end to desire, and people are limited.
People are full of involuntary self-help in the rivers and lakes, and sometimes when they encounter conspiracy power and money transactions, it will be a kind of pain.
Tang Aoxue was silent for a long time after hearing this, and for a long time, a trace of determination appeared on her beautiful face: "Senior Brother Hai, there should be no shortage of heroes like you in this world, you should forget the pain and lead us, as long as you believe, you can succeed." ”
Tang Hai shook his head, with a sad face: "I'm sorry, I can't do anything, because the hero is dead, Tang Hai is dead, he was forced to die by those people, by the family, by them, and by the world." ”
"Then I can only fulfill my duty, Senior Brother Hai, I have given you so much time to heal, you should be content, let Ao Xue use the sword to help you regain your ambition now." Tang Aoxue stared coldly at Tang Hai and showed his sword.
Tang Hai sighed, knowing that this battle was inevitable.
The sword is like autumn water, Tang Aoxue's long sword is reversed, and the person floats out like a butterfly, and in the blink of an eye, he arrives in front of Tang Hai, and then circles Tang Hai to brush and stab four swords, all of which are aimed at the vital point of the other party.
Tang Hai's ancient sword flicked left and right, up and down, and the shot was so fast that it was easy to block Tang Aoxue's four swords.
Tang Aoxue stared at him and made a move, this "Taihe Sword" was really just right, and there was no flaw all over his body. Looking at this situation, she was never allowed to attack, and with a loud shout, the long sword slashed straight at the bottom. Tang Hai hurriedly raised his sword towards the sword to block the incoming sword. The long sword couldn't be cut down, and both of their arms felt slightly sore.
This trick is just a temptation.
"Ao Xue, your skills have improved a lot, and you are worthy of being a genius of the Tang Sect."
"But my meteor swordsmanship is still not as good as Senior Brother Shanghai's Taihe Heaven Replenishing Sword, the side door is the side door after all, how can the sword go sideways and be upright and domineering? The sword of the edge cannot be a leader in the end."
There is a rumor about the Tang Gate in the rivers and lakes: Taihe makes up for the sky, the righteous pressure is strong, and the hot hand Tang Hai. A branch of evil plum, evil pressure on the group, proud snow and cold plum.
Tang Hai once said a very domineering sentence: If the way of heaven is lacking, I will make up for the sky with a sword, and Taihe to make up for the sky is a kind of awe-inspiring righteousness and an extreme domineering.
For Tang Aoxue's words, Tang Hai did not answer, but Tang rose from the ground, and the Taihe sword cut down Tang Aoxue's head from top to bottom, which really had the momentum of breaking the earth, although the move was ancient and ordinary, but when he heard the sound of "whew", he slashed down from the air, and it did have the power of opening mountains and cracking stones.
Tang Aoxue didn't dodge or dodge, the "Yizhimei" in his hand took out three swords in a row, as fast as lightning, and the three "dingding" three sounds slashed at Tang Hai's sword from the bottom up, and he actually blocked Tang Hai's domineering sword.
Tang Aoxue's "Yizhimei" sword body is very narrow, at first glance it looks like a branch, making the sword extremely light and agile, weird and unpredictable, and the moves are often crossed from mid-air, like a dragon traveling in the air.
Tang Hai's Taihe sword is solemn, like thousands of troops galloping forward, long swords and halberds, thousands of miles of yellow sand, righteousness is also domineering, rampage.
The two fought for a long time, and they didn't know whether they won or lost, Tang Hai secretly smiled bitterly, his junior sister's meteor swordsmanship was really weird, every move was like a whimsical pinch, there was no trace to be found, but there was no blood, just like the meteor in the night sky that crossed by in the blink of an eye, full of unknown and extremely fast speed.
Tang Hai's "Taihe Heaven Replenishing Sword" has been practiced to the realm of great ingenuity, but he can only have a draw with Tang Aoxue.
However, the battle cannot continue forever, and the masters are fighting each other, only fighting for the first line.
In their long battle, the murderous aura had condensed and gathered to an extremely high level, and the dust around them danced wildly around their bodies like a yellow storm dragon, and the sword was no longer a sword but a sword light or countless sword lights.
Suddenly, for a moment, the heavens and the earth seemed to darken, covered by dust, and two sword lights collided in the storm like two angry dragons.
Between heaven and earth, there seemed to be only those two sword lights, and the two sword-wielding people, the starlight was bright but not as poignant as the sword light, they seemed to compete with the sun and the moon.
The two swords collided in the air, and the murderous aura poured out all over the world, life and death were only in an instant, and the pupils of both sides reflected each other's figures, and they themselves didn't know who would die.
The water is soft, but there is nothing to break, and the world is even more rigid than it can be reached.
If you are clumsy, there is no trick to win.
Life and death are on the line, is the heroic soul disappearing, or is the beauty disappearing?
No one knows the way, not even themselves.
However, in the next moment, there was no such thing as the expected scene of flesh flying, qi exploding, and trees falling.
The mountain is still ethereal, still silent and quiet.
What the hell is going on?
"Woo, woo~" It turned out that at the moment of life and death, a loud and crisp baby cry broke through the silence, broke all the killing and depression, and brought life to the world.
Tang Hai and Tang Aoxue's swords were only less than centimeters away from each other's throats, but they both stopped in mid-air as if they had a tacit understanding, motionless as if they had been pointed.
At this time, their faces were no longer murderous but full of peace, listening carefully to this cry full of vitality, this sobering voice that penetrates the depths of the sin in the hearts of people.
It's just such a cry, so ordinary that it can't be ordinary, but it's full of life.
The sword represents death, and the baby represents hope and new life.
Suddenly, Tang Aoxue smiled, she smiled innocently like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, full of innocence, she felt that killing someone in front of a child was really a thing against her heart, this baby's cry sounded so cute, how could I blaspheme?
Therefore, the murderous aura on her beautiful face disappeared in an instant, and she just closed her eyes and continued to listen to the beauty of nature.
Vitality is nature.
The wind is gentle, the sound is long, the heart is quiet, the sky is blue, everything has become beautiful, the killing intent dissipates instantly, Xiao Suo is all gone, leaving only two people who are smiling at each other, one laughing heroically and the other laughing beautifully.
There is a poem that says: The bleak wind and bitter rain cast iron gall. It's hard to talk and laugh. Layue Jiaomei is not afraid of the cold, and she is proud of the snow and makes people pitiful.
Taihe mends the sky, the righteous pressure is strong, the spicy hand Tang Hai, a branch of evil plum, the evil pressure is fragrant, and the snow is cold.
There is a deficiency in the way of heaven, I make up for the sky with a sword, and Taihe makes up for the sky is a kind of awe-inspiring righteousness and an extreme domineering.
There is a lack of people's hearts, I cut my heart with an evil knife, the knife goes sideways, and the evil spirit is awe-inspiring, which is an extreme domineering.
Knives, murder weapons, cut everything. Love, hate, affection, hatred.
The heart is not easy and cannot be shaken. Greed, hatred, infatuation, lust.
Of course, all this is just a thing of the past.
