On a full moon night, the night is invisible, the cool breeze blows, and people's thoughts are confused.

Dong Ping strode through this dense forest, the sound of cicadas and streams along the way were intertwined, but he didn't care, just headed towards the destination in front of him.

The nearby ancient trees grow in a dense and chaotic area, and it is clear that in the depths of this inaccessible dense forest, there is no one to disturb their survival.

However, with the arrival of uninvited guests, it will certainly not be quiet tonight.

The pace under the legs was steady and swift, Dong Ping's eyes looked straight ahead, there was obviously a trace of anger in his eyes, and a strong murderous aura also emanated from his body, but this person's face was unexpectedly calm.

Different from his temperamental anger, his face is calm to the next level, this contrast is both contradictory and extraordinarily large.

The scenery on both sides was regressing, Dong Ping's firm eyes always looked ahead, and when he saw that familiar place entering the end of his sight, finally, there was a trace of peace in his eyes, and there was a trace of murderous aura.

It's like saying goodbye to someone you want to say goodbye to when you decide something big.

He quickened his pace a few more times, but after a few breaths, Dong Ping could clearly see that the place where the tombstone was located had come to his eyes.

The moonlight shrouded the nearby stream, refracted through the mirror-like surface of the water, and refracted onto the quaint tombstone.

The sound of the water and the faint chirping of cicadas echoed in my ears.

What you can feel is the scent of the earth and the smell of the jungle.

What flickered in front of me was a small area near the tombstone, a quiet and haunting area of life.

Dong Ping stood there silently, looking at the tombstone, and never spoke.

On the tombstone, the black "Tomb of Marshal Dong Yuancheng of the Western Army" has nine gilded characters, and under the refraction of the moonlight, the eyes of the people who are shaking are a little painful.

Finally, Dong Ping still sat down.

Taking a deep breath, Dong Ping took out a wine bowl, and after pouring it full, he looked at the tombstone and slowly sprinkled it in front of it.

Then he closed his eyes and seemed to be lost in thought.

I don't know why, as soon as I calm down, the turbulent memories rush into the depths of my soul like a tide.

Fifteen years ago.

"You stinky boy, so weak and shy, and so timid all day long, what will you do in the future."

Looking at the little boy on the ground who was bruised and swollen and still crying, Dong Yuancheng obviously held back his emotions and said helplessly: "Why don't you give Lao Tzu a long face like this, I've been teaching you for a few years, it's been a few years, you can talk about it yourself!"

"My world-beating martial arts, you have been so long, you can't learn it at all?!"

"But, I ...... I don't want to learn these things. ”

"What did you say?!" Gritting his teeth angrily, Dong Yuancheng squatted down angrily, gritted his teeth and lifted the little boy's clothes and smiled: "Do you dare to say it again?" ”

"I ...... I really don't want to practice martial arts, I just want to be a teacher, I don't want to fight, kill. The little boy lowered his head, didn't even dare to look at his father's face, and just said in a low voice: "I know that I disappointed my father, but Ping'er really doesn't want to kill, and I don't have that talent, I ...... Yes! ”

Before he finished speaking, the little boy only felt that his body was shaking, and the whole person had been turned upside down, and he had to flutter desperately, but it was only in vain.

"What's the panic, your father can still harm you, if you are disobedient, I will throw you to other mothers, let them take you! Dong Yuancheng snorted and stood up, laughing as he carried the little boy to the backyard: "Just follow it obediently." ”

"Uh......" The little boy shuddered at the thought of the "enthusiasm" of his father's women, and did not dare to say anything more.

It didn't take long for the two to be in the backyard.

Dong Yuan threw his hand and threw the little boy on the ground not far away, and at the same time, as far as the eye could see, there were broken weapons and countless books scattered on the ground.

Feeling that he had lost his restraints, the little boy stood up with a blank face and looked at everything in front of him.

What does it mean that my father is here?

"Dong Ping, tell me, why are you unwilling to follow my path."

Sitting on a nearby rock with an indifferent face, Dong Yuancheng just looked ahead, but his expression suddenly became serious.

"This ......" looked at the strange father in front of him in confusion, Dong Pingleng paused for a moment before he said with a hollow look: "I...... I don't want to hurt others, and I don't want to fight with anyone, I just want to live an ordinary life. ”

"Then when you encounter someone who wants to hurt you, do you still stick to this idea?"

"Hmm!" Dong Ping replied affirmatively.

"This time it was unexpected." Dong Yuancheng looked at the vast night ahead, but suddenly changed his words and said: "Then what if it is an enemy, in the face of an enemy of life and death, if you want to hurt your family and friends, your closest people, do you still have to escape?" ”

"In the face of the most vicious people, in front of you with such a hurtful thing to show off your might, when you step on your head, do you still fall to the ground and only cry?"

"With a few words, can you protect the people around you, can you let the wicked subdue the law, when you fall to the ground and watch your most important person die in front of you, can you Dong Ping bear that feeling? Answer me! ”

"This ......" Dong Ping was also stunned for a while, looking at Dong Yuancheng who suddenly stood up and roared, he only felt that his brain was blank.

Staring at Dong Ping with gloomy eyes, Dong Yuancheng casually kicked up a few books from the ground and took them in his hand, he said in a heavy tone: "Although these things are too early for a child, but, as my Dong Yuancheng's son, you must and cannot escape these responsibilities!" ”

"What's on this?"

After a long time, Dong Ping looked at the book in his father's hand and just asked numbly.

"On this is the record of every soldier who died in the Western Army."

"What...... What the? Dong Ping was also completely stunned, he stood up slowly, looked at his father blankly, but couldn't say anything.

"Every one of their families, and their pensions, all their things, are written in these books." Staring at Dong Ping's immature face, Dong Yuancheng was silent for a long time before he spoke in a low tone: "War has always been cruel, without their bloodshed and sacrifice, there would be no me, Dong Yuancheng, and we have no way to stand here and chat leisurely." ”

"I'm afraid, I would have been killed by the Western Xia and Khitan thieves a long time ago!"

Almost roaring, Dong Yuancheng's green tendons trembled, and he roared angrily: "Soldiers, we are never killing, our existence is just to protect more people, our killing is in exchange for more people's lives!" ”

Looking at the crazy person in front of him, Dong Ping was almost completely stunned for a moment, he wanted to say something, but he felt like his throat was blocked, and he couldn't say a word.

At this time, Dong Yuancheng also calmed down, he walked to the edge of the pond, looked at the water in front of him, and just said in a calm tone: "I only said so much, and the rest is up to you to experience." ”

"Then, what you can do in the future depends on your freedom, and I will never interfere again."

After saying this, Dong Yuancheng just turned around and strode out, he raised his right hand high, and waved his head without looking back.

When Dong Ping came back to his senses, he didn't know when, Dong Yuancheng's figure had completely disappeared into the vast night.

Looking at the empty backyard in front of him, Dong Ping was silent for a long time, but still walked in front of the books and broken weapons.

Looking at those things, Dong Ping was speechless for a long time.

It's as if the whole person was greatly touched.

The cold night breeze blew, Dong Ping stood in the wind, silent, no one knew what he was thinking.

……

Time flew by, his thoughts came back to his senses, Dong Ping looked at the tombstone in front of him, and flicked his long hair that was blown by the wind, he just smiled bitterly.

"Father, I still haven't been able to live up to your expectations."

Saying lightly, Dong Ping drank a big sip of wine, and he didn't care if his collar was soaked by the wine.

The cold liquid flowed through his neck, feeling the sobriety of his spirit, Dong Ping said with a wry smile: "After so many years, I have realized what it is like to be constantly hurt by the people around me. ”

"First my lover, then my teacher, then Brother Ling Feng, now, even my uncle and Brother Ling Zhen have been kidnapped by Gao Li, and I don't know ...... life or death."

Every time Dong Ping said a word, he poured out some of the wine in the bowl and put it in front of the tombstone, and he said lightly: "I don't know when, I still became the person I hated the most when I was a child." ”

"I now have to get the blood of innocent people, because this is the only way I can protect the people around me."

Standing up slowly with his hands on his knees, Dong Ping tied up his hair, looked at the tombstone in the night in front of him, and felt the night breeze blowing through every pore, he only felt that there were thousands of thoughts in his mind at this time.

His tone became more and more firm: "This time, I will let those people return all the things they owe to me Dong Ping and you, and I will make them pay the price of unforgettable for a lifetime!" ”

As soon as he turned around suddenly, Dong Ping was about to rush out, and in his eyes, he could only see a murderous aura, as well as unprecedented firmness.

"Father, don't blame me, this is my own choice, if I can survive, one day, I will become the lord of this world, carry forward our family, and build a temple for you, I will not let you down!"

Yang Tian yelled and shouted these words, Dong Ping only felt full of joy.

He laughed a few times, but the will in his heart was more resolute than ever, and his pace under his legs quickened, and he was about to rush out of the dense forest.

However, soon, Dong Ping stopped,

He didn't, and continued with the rest of the behavior.

Because, in front of his eyes, a man appeared.

One, in the past two years, he has never forgotten the figure that exists in the depths of his soul.
