Chapter 8: Love and Hatred (2)
A graceful woman stands on the edge of a cliff, surrounded by a group of Miao people.
"Sister, why are you doing this, is it worth doing this for that ungrateful person?" A man's voice came from among the group of Hmong.
"Bladeheart, you don't have to persuade me, I trust him, but if he really didn't come back for some reason, then... Then I will be able to meet him in the 'Jade Dragon Third Country' in a moment. The woman said softly and firmly.
"Sister, what I said may be a little unpleasant, but is it a little irresponsible for you to do this, it is your personal matter to ignore the thousand-year-old grudge between our two clans for the sake of your children's affection, I don't blame you, but you actually handed over to him the patriarchal decree and secret techniques that have been passed down from generation to generation, have you ever thought about how much harm this will cause to our clan. And even if you are martyred, but the patriarch order can't come back by yourself, how can you face the ancestors of the past generations in the ground, it is better to use this as an excuse to lead the clansmen to destroy his Sima family in one fell swoop, and take back the treasures, so as to relieve the hatred in your heart. Zhuge said in his heart.
"Bladeheart, you're still going to say this kind of thing right now. That's it, after I'm gone, you'll do it yourself. Zhuge also said helplessly.
"If you know that the enemy is doing such a stupid thing at this time?" Zhuge Blade Heart asked.
"It's our agreement." Zhuge Yixin looked at the gradually rising moon and choked up.
"May I ask if the girl is Zhuge Yixin?" Dao Yan asked loudly.
Those Miao people heard that there was someone behind them, and quickly turned around and drew their weapons. Singh also held the 'Eagle Claw' in his hand, accompanied by the bright moonlight, the 'Eagle Claw' glowed like a ghostly cold light.
"Catch them, this must be the lackey of the Sima family, where is Sima Xuanhuang hiding, why don't you dare to come in person." Zhuge Blade Heart commanded.
"Stop." Zhuge also drank it. Those Miao people didn't know what to do, so they continued to hold their weapons, but they did not attack the two.
"In Xia Zhuge Yixin, who is the son? What are you looking for me? Zhuge Yixin asked calmly.
"In Xiayun Daoyan, I was entrusted by Sima Xuanhuang to hand over this thing to the girl, and Brother Sima also asked me to bring the girl a sentence saying that he would never break his word." As he spoke, Dao Yan held the white jade in his hand and walked towards the edge of the cliff, and Singh held the 'eagle claw' tightly and accompanied Dao Yan.
After taking the white jade in Dao Yan's hand, Zhuge Yixin's hands trembled slightly, and he asked nervously, "Why didn't he come?" Did something happen? ”
Dao Yan glanced back at the Miao people around him, and said softly: "If the girl can be trusted, please come with me." ”
"You stand down and wait for me in the village." Zhuge is also humane to all Miao.
Zhuge Blade Heart thrust the knife back into the sheath and said angrily: "Sister, you have to think twice." Then he led the people away.
Singh brought the horse and asked Zhuge Yixin if he could ride a horse, and Zhuge Yixin replied that he could ride, so Dao Yan and Singh rode together, and the three of them returned to the camp.
As soon as he entered the camp, he saw many guards carefully checking their weapons and preparing them for fire, and Paya was anxiously wandering at the camp gate, and when he saw himself coming back, he rushed towards this side happily.
"I'll take her there, I won't be able to see your concubine's appearance." Singh said with a grin, and after speaking, he led Zhuge Yixin towards Amir's tent.
Paya threw herself into Daoyan's arms, aggrieved that she was about to die of fear, and that she discussed with the patriarch and the guru that she wanted to bring some guards up the mountain to help you, but the guru said that if even you encounter an unsolvable situation, even if you go with more guards, it will be fine, but it will add more trouble. Finally, when the patriarch saw that she was in a hurry, he said that if you didn't come back in half an hour, he would take some of the guards up the mountain, and the guards heard that they were going to find you, and they all rushed to go, but the camp still needed someone to protect her, so she came here first to choose some guards and prepare to go.
While speaking, the two came to Amir's tent and saw Sima Xuanhuang excitedly holding Zhuge Yixin's hand, his face was full of joy, and Zhuge Yixin looked at Sima Xuanhuang with pale eyes and affection in his eyes.
"Thank you Yun Gongzi for saving me with righteousness, and I would like to thank you for your life-saving grace on behalf of the two of us, and I will thank you again in the future." Zhuge also bowed deeply in his heart.
"Miss Zhuge doesn't have to be polite, I was also moved by Brother Sima's true feelings for you, but I had to hurt some of your clansmen, and I ask Miss Zhuge to forgive me." Dao Yan also gave a salute.
"Where Yun Gongzi speaks, it must be made by the blade heart, let me know who it is, they will not escape death, Yun Gongzi don't have to worry about it." Zhuge also said angrily.
"Why did they stop Brother Sima from going to see you?" Paya asked curiously.
Zhuge Yixin and Sima Xuanhuang looked at each other and smiled, and said gracefully: "This is a very long story, if my sister is interested, I will definitely tell you another day." ”
"Yes, it's not early, Brother Sima is still injured and needs to rest, so let's not disturb him." Dao Yan continued.
"Then since it's not early, Sister Zhuge don't leave, come and sleep in my tent, Brother Sima didn't even want his life in order to rush to see you, the story between you must be very exciting, I really want to hear it." Paya took Zhuge Yixin's hand and looked at her, and then looked at Daoyan.
"Okay, okay, if Miss Zhuge agrees, you will go tell the story, I will accompany Brother Sima here." Dao Yan laughed. Seeing that Dao Yan agreed, Paya happily came to ask Zhuge Yixin to stay, Zhuge Yixin smiled sadly, bowed his head and said nothing, but his eyes kept looking at Sima Xuanhuang.
At this time, Amir smiled and said: "Don't go, the four of you should not go, you should rest, you should be accompanied, you should tell a story, I will change the tent, and I will not disturb you young people." After saying that, he talked and laughed with Katilia, Singh and others and walked out.
It turned out that many years ago, Sima Xuanhuang met several like-minded people on the way to travel, so they went chivalrous together, and when they planned to marry Jinlan, Sima Xuanhuang learned that these people were actually rebels. According to Sima's family rules, future generations are not allowed to participate in anything related to the imperial court, but Sima Xuanhuang saw many tragedies caused by the tyranny of the Yuan Dynasty during his travels, and his heart was also very conflicted, so he went home with a try-and-see attitude to ask his mother, but as expected, Mrs. Sima flatly refused, Sima Xuanhuang ran away from home in the name of travel, and became brothers with those people, but did not join the rebel army. After that, the brothers began to fight with swords and spent a happy time. Unexpectedly, one day, those people suddenly disappeared under the pretext of buying wine in the market, and Sima Xuanhuang inquired several times to know that they were going to perform a very dangerous task for the righteous army, because they were afraid of affecting Sima Xuanhuang, so they left without saying goodbye. When Sima Xuanhuang arrived quickly, he saw that the corpses of several brothers had been hung on the head of the city for public display. Sima Xuanhuang was furious, knowing that the Yuan army would have an ambush, but he was desperate to retrieve the corpses of his brothers. Relying on his family tradition, Sima Xuanhuang killed countless Yuan soldiers, and just as he collected the bodies of his brothers and was about to flee, he was wounded by a monk with a strange weapon. Fortunately, the rebels appeared in time and took advantage of the chaos to rescue Sima Xuanhuang and escort him home. When Mrs. Sima saw her dying son, she became angry with the rebels and killed them all. After Madam Sima examined Sima Xuanhuang's injuries, she found that he was suffering from a rare Gu poison. In desperation, she had to use her own secret technique to inhale the Gu poison into her body. Sima Xuanhuang woke up and learned about the incident, hoping that he would bear the consequences, and begged his mother to teach him secret techniques to save his mother, but Mrs. Sima closed her eyes and blasted him out of the door. Sima Xuanhuang thought about it, but only the feuding Zhuge family was good at solving Gu poison, so he went to Miao Jiang to find the Zhuge people without asking his mother. One day, Sima Xuanhuang came to the shore of Erhai Lake and found that many Miao people were fighting to the death with a seven-headed beast under the command of a handsome woman. Seeing that the alien beast broke free from the hook lock and killed many people, it was attacking the woman, but it was suddenly hit by a flash of fire halfway, and the woman immediately commanded everyone to pull one of the heads of the alien beast with a hook lock and cast a spell to seal it. The two of them then cooperated to seal the remaining heads of the alien beast one by one, and the woman led everyone to express their gratitude to Sima Xuanhuang. After reporting his name, Sima Xuanhuang learned that this woman was the patriarch of the Zhuge family he was looking for, Zhuge Yixin, so he informed her of the purpose and reason of his trip, and asked her for help. Zhuge Yixin already had a good impression of Sima Xuanhuang's behavior of helping himself and his clansmen in times of danger just now, and learned that he took such a big risk to come to seek help from the feud in order to save his mother, and he couldn't help but have a good impression of him a little more. Back in Zhuge Village, Zhuge Yixin handed a bottle of pill to Sima Xuanhuang and told him to go back first and let Mrs. Sima take the pill to control the attack of Gu poison, and then come to her. Sima Xuanhuang thought that Zhuge Yixin was unwilling to come to the rescue, so he swore that he was willing to exchange his life for asking her to cure his mother completely. The Water Demon Beast was only temporarily sealed, and it will soon wake up again, and it will give birth to one more song, which is more powerful, she needs to stay and lead the clan to continue to subdue this demon beast, and the Gu poison on Mrs. Sima can only be driven away by her in person and it will take many days to get rid of it, this pill can control the Gu poison for a year, the reason why all the pills are given to him is to prevent her from happening to her, even with this pill, the Gu poison can still guarantee that it will not attack within ten years. It turned out that this 'Seven Water Demon Beasts' was already so difficult to seal, and Zhuge Yixin was not very sure about successfully subduing the 'Eight Water Demon Beasts', let alone its final 'Nine Songs' form. After hearing this, Sima Xuanhuang asked Zhuge Yixin to get rid of the 'Water Demon Beast' on the condition that she must cure her mother, and then left with only one pill. A few days later, Sima Xuanhuang returned to Miao Jiang again, and in the process of sealing the 'Eight Water Demon Beasts', he almost lost his life in order to save Zhuge Yixin. Zhuge Yixin took Sima Xuanhuang to Yulong Snow Mountain to pick snow lotus to heal him, and the two secretly fell in love with Sima Xuanhuang during his recuperation. After Sima Xuanhuang recovered, the two returned to Sima's house to relieve the old lady of the Gu poison. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhuge Yixin hid his true identity and only claimed that he was a Miao witch doctor who had come to treat Mrs. Sima. Just when the treatment was going well and was about to be completed, Zhuge Yixin used it to expel Gu poison for Mrs. Sima, but Bai Yu, the patriarch of the Zhuge clan, was discovered by Sima Xuanhuang's sister Sima Yingxuan. Sima Xuanhuang had to explain the reason to the clansmen, hoping to get everyone's understanding, but instead of understanding him, the Sima clansmen wanted to hurt Zhuge Yixin. Sima Xuanhuang had no choice but to fight with the clansmen and cover Zhuge Yixin to escape, and then Zhuge Yixin left the white jade and the Gu curse to Sima Xuanhuang, and the two agreed to meet on the night of the full moon before the awakening of the 'Nine Water Demon Beasts', if either of them did not arrive, it would prove that he was no longer alive, and the other would never steal his life. Zhuge Yixin returned to Miao Jiang alone, but was found to have lost the patriarch Bai Yu when he pulled out poison for the clansmen, and had no choice but to tell the truth, the Zhuge people were originally grateful to him because of Sima Xuanhuang helping them seal the 'Water Demon Beast', so they acquiesced to the matter of the two of them regardless of the feud, but after listening to what happened to Zhuge Yixin, they felt that this was a great insult to their whole clan, and vowed to take revenge, and the most angry among these people was Zhuge Yixin's brother Zhuge Blade Heart. After Sima Xuanhuang returned home, he used the method taught by Zhuge Yixin to cure his mother, but after the old lady recovered, she learned that she was actually saved by a feud, and she had high hopes that the only son of the future Sima family patriarch would marry a feud, so she was angry that Sima Xuanhuang was disposed of by family law and then imprisoned him in the ancestral ancestral hall to make him repent. Seeing that the agreed date was approaching, Sima Xuanhuang had to beg an old servant who had brought him up since he was a child to find an opportunity to let him go. Sima Xuanhuang was injured and did not recover, and was ordered to arrest him back Sima tribesmen and Zhuge tribesmen who rushed to find him shame repeatedly attacked, barely holding on to the foot of Yulong Mountain when he was already scarred and exhausted, fortunately met Dao Yan and others to rescue, otherwise at this moment he would have both been martyred.
