21. Jianghu affairs
"Huiyin, where are you going?"
On the south bank of the quarry, in the camp of the rivers and lakes, Lin Huiyin sneakily took the hat, grabbed the Xiaoxiang echo sword, and wanted to sneak out of the room.
But as soon as he took a few steps, he heard a cold voice behind him.
Lin Huiyin was startled and hurriedly stood up straight.
It's like a child who has done something bad and has been discovered by his elders.
She held the hat in her hand and lowered her head, while Lin Yundong, who was wearing a veil, walked out of the other side of the house step by step.
This camp is the camp of the defenders of the Southern Dynasty before, it is sturdy, but it is not comfortable at all, Lin Yundong is a predecessor of the rivers and lakes, and the place where he lives is only bigger than ordinary Jianghu guests.
Fortunately, the children of the rivers and lakes are not informal, and at this juncture, no one is clamoring to live in a good house.
"Looking for Shen Qiu again?"
Lin Yundong sat on the chair in the room, looking at her disciples, her voice was beautiful and tactful, it was really a girl's voice quality, and the head of the house was in her thirties, and it was the time when she was ripe.
's pretty and charming appearance, coupled with this young voice, makes Lin Yundong not only famous for her superb swordsmanship in the rivers and lakes, but also a famous beautiful woman in the previous generation of rivers and lakes.
It is said that when Master was young, there were many masters who came to him to ask for marriage, and many of them were high-ranking families.
It's just that the master is so focused on rebuilding the Sword Gate that he doesn't care about these external things at all.
"Why don't you speak?"
Lin Yundong asked two questions, but Lin Huiyin did not answer, this silence made the head a little dissatisfied, she put down the teacup in her hand, with a bit of sternness in her words, and said to her own disciple who was like a daughter:
"In the mountain gate, our master and apprentice said that you must not have anything to do with Shen Qiu on this trip, and you are allowed to come with you because of the teacher.
But look at you these days, you have to meet with that Shen Qiu every day...
Huiyin, you have always been angry, and you can't bear to reprimand you as a teacher, but Shen Qiu already has a family, no matter how good he is, no matter how good he is, as a teacher, he can't allow you to develop with him any longer. ”
"Master, there's no such thing."
Lin Huiyin saw that the master was a little angry, so she hurriedly explained:
"It's just to learn martial arts with Shen Qiu, he has learned a lot, not only proficient in swordsmanship, fists, but also has an understanding of Ti Zong, so that although the sword is not skilled, he often has strange sword moves.
After a few days of fighting, the apprentice also has a better understanding of swordsmanship. ”
She raised her head, looked at Lin Yundong's eyes, and made eye contact, so that Lin Huiyin hurriedly lowered her head like a frightened rabbit, she grabbed the sword in her hand, and said to the master:
"In short, there is no affection between the two of me now, and it is impossible for Master to do what Master thinks."
"Apprentice, although the master has never been married in his life, he is not ignorant of this relationship between men and women."
Lin Yundong sighed, she beckoned and asked Lin Huiyin to sit beside her.
She reached out and grabbed Lin Huiyin's finger and said:
"You say so with your lips, but what you think in your heart, how can you be a teacher who doesn't know it?
As a division in Luoyang, he also fought with Shen Qiu, he was chivalrous, fearless, and dared to take a hundred people to fight with 10,000 people in Beikou.
His martial arts are improving extremely fast, even the alliance leader values him, I heard that the alliance leader has awarded him the Liangyi Divine Fist, which seems to be cultivating Shen Qiu as a disciple.
If my apprentice is lucky, between you and Shen Qiu, I will be happy to see it as a teacher.
It's a pity..."
Lin Yundong thought of what Chonghe Daoist said to her in Luoyang that day, and she also showed a wry smile on her face, and said to the disciple who liked her very much:
It's a pity that the teacher doesn't argue with people's hearts, and he said the wrong thing that day, for fear that it will cause Shen Qiu to be dissatisfied, but within a few days, he heard the news that Shen Qiu and Miss Yaoqin were married.
That Yaoqin girl also has a rough life, and I can't tell you more about the specific situation.
Shen Qiu married her, but it saved her life, inherited the cause and effect of her, it was a chivalrous thing, but it made me unrequited love.
Alas, the world makes people. ”
"Master doesn't have to be like this."
Lin Huiyin's tone was also a little lower, she cheered up and said to the master:
"It's just fate.
I have made up my mind, just like the master, I will not marry in my life, this time I will go back to Xiaoxiang, and I will practice martial arts with my heart, if he can make a breakthrough again in the future, he will also be able to let my Xiaoxiang Sword Gate repeat the prestige of the past.
Master has been heartbroken for the development of the Sword Gate over the years, and I don't want Master to worry about my affairs anymore. ”
Lin Yundong was very relieved when he said this.
She smiled and said to Lin Huiyin:
"My family Huiyin, really sensible.
But the master has suffered all his life, how can he see that my apprentice is lonely, this time I went back, so I took the opportunity of the apprentice to take over as the head of the house, and chose a good selection of the rivers and lakes.
also set a good family affair for my apprentice, so that my apprentice can spend his life happily. ”
Lin Yundong clenched Lin Huiyin's hand, and she said in an accentuated tone:
"It's just a vain, you have to hold it yourself!
Although it is common sense that a good man, three wives and four concubines are common, but I am the future head of Xiaoxiang Sword Sect and a well-known chivalrous man in the rivers and lakes.
In your life, you can't be a concubine with others, let alone practice yourself, can you know? ”
Lin Yundong's words are really like a mother telling her ignorant daughter.
But Lin Huiyin is also a virgin who has never been in the field, and she was suddenly talked about such a profound topic by the master, which made her heart chaotic for a while.
I could only nod my head.
She is also a decisive person, and she said to Shen Qiu that day that she was just a friend, so she was just a friend!
The master also needs himself, and he can't ignore the master's nurturing grace, after the senior brother leaves, he has to support the sword gate to make the master easier.
"Master, there is something unclear in the disciple's heart."
In the past half a year, Lin Yundong walked the rivers and lakes outside, Lin Huiyin retreated and practiced penance in the master's door, and the two masters and apprentices rarely had such a chance to talk.
She asked in a low voice:
"Master, where did you learn this Xueji Method? Isn't it... Zhang Mo cult yours? ”
Lin Yundong's face changed suddenly.
It seemed that that name was a taboo in her heart, she looked at Lin Huiyin and asked coldly:
"You, disciple, where did you hear that?"
"Master, don't worry."
Lin Huiyin told her about her conversation with Shen Qiu in Suzhou, and when she heard that Shen Qiu had also been taught the Xueji Mind Method by Zhang Mo, the seriousness on Lin Yundong's face dissipated a little.
She leaned back in her chair, breathing heavily, as if remembering the events of the past, she was silent for a long time, and then said to her disciple:
"Yes, this Xueji Mind Method is indeed from Zhang Mo's cult."
"Master!"
Lin Huiyin was so shocked that she got up immediately, she looked at her master suspiciously, her eyes were full of astonishment.
Mo Fei, Master and Zhang Moxie, there really is...
"Don't be cranky!"
When Lin Yundong saw Lin Huiyin's expression change, she knew what her disciple was thinking, she sighed and said to Lin Huiyin:
"It was a complete coincidence.
Back then, Zhang Moxie entered the cave court at night because of a lawsuit between Changsha innocent and Jianmen in Xiaoxiang, and killed all my Jianmen elders and heads overnight, you know this.
The reason why my sword gate fell was also because of that disaster.
But what happened next, the teacher didn't tell you. ”
Master Lin glanced at the Xiaoxiang Echo Sword in her disciple's hand, and she said in a astringent voice:
"After that night, the originally prosperous Sword Gate collapsed, the entire hall was soaked in blood, the elders in the door died overnight, the people in the door were driven away by the Demon Sect, and the huge mountain gate was left with me and a dozen disciples still holding on.
Back then, just like you, I was an inner disciple, and I was resentful in my heart, so I took back the Xiaoxiang Echo Sword from the pool of blood and went to assassinate Zhang Moxie alone.
But I'm too weak..."
Lin Yundong's face was painful, his fists were clenched, and his tone was sad:
"I tried my best, but I couldn't even break Zhang Moxie's protective qi.
He didn't take my life either, just like playing, let me follow him, from Xiaoxiang, to Guangxi, from Guangxi, to Miaojiang, from Miaojiang, and back to Xiaoxiang.
I assassinated him a full thirty-seven times, not a single one of them succeeded.
He said that I already have demons in my heart, and if I let it go, I will become a disaster in the rivers and lakes, and he will abolish my martial arts. At that time, my childhood friend rushed to help, and I was able to save me from the Demon Sect Master.
That Xueji Mind Method was also thrown to me by Zhang Moxie after easily defeating the two of us, just like a charity. ”
Lin Yundong's girlish voice became hoarse at this moment.
She said:
"He told me that if you want to take revenge, you have to practice martial arts first, and Xue Ji's mental method can calm your mind and get rid of your demons, and he also said that when my martial arts are strong, he will allow me to challenge again.
It's a pity, it's a pity that your master and I have limited talent, and some... In short, after practicing for so many years, it is only a martial arts.
Not to mention entering the heavenly list, even the realm of the half-step heavenly list is difficult to reach.
Not to mention revenge, just maintaining the operation of the Sword Gate makes me exhausted, and I can only pin my hopes on you and Lin Lang, but I don't check people's hearts, which makes Lin Lang resentful.
In vain..."
Lin Yundong stretched out her hand and stroked Lin Huiyin's sideburns, she said:
"Master is a useless person.
I can't take revenge, and I can't revive the Sword Gate, so many years have passed, and I want to open it for the teacher. Back then, Zhang Moxie killed my Sword Sect elders, and it was not considered that he had killed the wrong person.
At that time, my sword gate was prosperous, and there was an arrogant and frivolous atmosphere, in Changsha City, because of some commercial affairs, forced goodness to death, and was heard by Zhang Moxie, so he came to the door to seek justice.
This is a matter of rivers and lakes, the skills are not as good as people, and there is nothing to say.
I don't want you to bear these things, because the grievances of the previous generation will be settled by the teacher.
After the apprentice, he will manage the sword gate well and revive the sect.
Do you remember? ”
Lin Huiyin nodded, it was the first time she had heard about the secrets of the master, and she had some mixed feelings in her heart for a while.
The atmosphere in the room became silent.
But not long after, there was a knock on the door, Lin Yundong wiped his eyes, and said loudly:
"Come in."
The door was pushed open, and the crape myrtle Taoist wearing a dark Taoist robe and holding the dust in his hand walked slowly into the room.
He and Lin Yundong's eyes met, but then turned away, and Lin Huiyin saw that there was a little blush on the master's always indifferent cheeks.
It's like a girl.
She turned her head to look at the middle-aged Taoist priest who walked into the room with an elegant temperament, black hair mixed with white hair, and a sword box on his back.
It dawned on her.
In the past few days, when she was discussing with Shen Qiu, Shen Qiu would also tell her some things that she didn't know, including the past of her master and Huang Wumiao, and seeing her master's expression like this at this time, Lin Huiyin knew.
This Ziwei Taoist is the person who hides the deepest in Master's heart, and he is also the so-called "childhood friend" who rescued Master from Zhang Moxie's hands.
"Master, I'll go out first."
Lin Huiyin picked up the Echo Sword, said a word to the master, nodded to the smiling Dao Leader, and strode out of the room.
Huang Wumiao held the dust in his hand, watched Lin Huiyin leave, and then turned his head and looked at Lin Yundong in the chair, he said softly:
"Xiao Dong, you disciple, it's good."
"It was the alliance leader who invited you to meet Huiyin?"
Lin Yundong lowered her head and spoke calmly, but the clenched hand meant that her heart was not calm.
Xu had a long talk with her disciple just now, which made her immerse herself in the past, and when she suddenly saw her former childhood sweetheart, her mood could not be maintained, so she could only turn the topic to the other side.
She looked at Huang Wumiao and said:
"You just look at it and you can see that I'm a good apprentice?"
"The physiognomy technique of my Jade Emperor Palace originates from the immortal path inheritance, Xiao Dong, I can't be mistaken."
In front of Lin Yundong, Huang Wumiao is no longer poor.
With a smile, he sat next to Lin Yundong, still in the same quiet posture as before, and put the dust on the other side, and he said softly:
"You are a disciple, but the southern Vermilion Bird Winged Suite, born with the auspicious appearance of the winged fire snake.
Acting stoically, with outstanding talent, with a good nature, and a smooth life, she will make great achievements in the future, but she is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, she doesn't like to compromise, and she is stubborn, so you persuade her to break off the love with Shen Qiu, I'm afraid it will be difficult. ”
Huang Wumiao shook his head and said to Lin Yundong:
"She, like Xiaodong, will only hide what she thinks in her heart in this emotional matter, and if she is stubborn in her heart, she will not be free.
This is also normal, Xiao Dong, you are the first residence in the West, the appearance of the Kui Wood Wolf, if you really want to talk about it, your apprentice is better than you, she at least does not have to worry about being haunted by fear in her heart, and she will draw herself as a prison. ”
"Who do you say is cowardly?"
Lin Yundong's tone became cold.
She looked at Huang Wumiao and said:
"Don't talk nonsense, Dao Chief."
"Am I talking nonsense?"
Ziwei Daoren chuckled, and he said:
"You are upright, stubborn, arbitrary, and unkind, which one is not a Pleiades astrology? This face-to-face technique, self-learned, there are few mistakes.
As for me saying that you are cowardly in your heart..."
Speaking of this, Ziwei Daoren's tone changed, and the silence on his body no longer had the slightest hint, but became a little reckless, and his eyes became chaotic.
He stood up, stretched out his hand, and lightly tapped it on Lin Yundong's chin.
This action was too sudden, and he didn't react for a while.
Then he heard the voice of the man in front of him say:
"Xiao Dong, you are afraid that as soon as you go, the sword gate will no longer have support, and you are afraid that you will lose all your courage if you think in your heart. The old man said that you draw the ground as a prison and struggle for half your life, is it wrong? ”
"You're not miserable!"
Lin Yundong opened the fingers of the person in front of her, she stood up, put her fingers together with her sword, and said in a cold voice:
"You are..."
"Old man Taishan reckless, Huang is invincible!"
Daoist Ziwei grabbed his beard and said with a smile:
"The old man was defeated by Zhang Moxie last time, but it was also a blessing in disguise, and he was less suppressed by Huang Wumiao.
When he saw you just now, his heart was agitated, and he couldn't suppress it, that thing was really not like a man, and the old man said those things for him that he didn't dare to say.
Little Winter!
The old man has been hiding what we did back then.
But do you know how miserable you have been to Huang Wu over the years? He was lucky enough to break through the heavenly list, but his martial arts couldn't get closer, and he was a little bit worse when he was in line with Tai'a Sword! ”
"It's just because in the deepest part of his heart, it's not the sword, but you!"
Huang Wudi said loudly:
"The three of us are stupid men and women, the relationship is complicated, you hate me for not being aware of it for a while, I did evil things, the old man admitted it, and he has drawn the ground as a prison over the years, and he is willing to be suppressed by Huang Wumiao.
But the two of you are a stuffy gourd, hiding love in your heart.
Another dead son, abandoning love for the sake of the sect.
The two of them couldn't get rid of it for the rest of their lives. ”
"Xiao Dong, this time the old man made it clear to you, you want your sword sect to be revived, it's very simple. When I go back this time, I will give the position of head to our daughter, and you will marry into the Jade Emperor Palace yourself!
Anyway, you and him are also husband and wife, but Huang Wumiao doesn't know it.
In this way, it will not only relieve the pain in your heart, but also help your sword sect, which is good for both of you and both sects!
The old man in the province was so entangled that he wanted to be physically and mentally united with Tai'a, but he was blocked!
Do you understand? ”
"You! I don't care about you! ”
"Wasn't it all your fault? Let me have a nightmare in my heart, and I can't make an inch of progress in martial arts! I can't wait to kill you! How dare you show up and talk to me about this! ”
Lin Yundong was made angry by this remark, and was about to step forward to stop the rudeness, but he saw Huang Wumiao's eyes roll, tremble a few times, and fall to the ground.
"Little Winter... What did he say to you? ”
Huang Wumiao hugged his body in pain, and said in a weak tone:
"Don't listen! Don't believe it! That's the devil in my heart... Don't believe it! I..."
Before he finished speaking, Ziwei Daoren's eyes darkened, and he passed out.
But in the next moment, Huang Wuyi's rough voice sounded again, shouting to Lin Yundong:
"Why are you still stunned, send him back, or, you can do good things again tonight, okay?"
"Shut up!"
Lin Yundong scolded, stepped forward, and picked Huang Wumiao up from the ground.
The two personalities were already silent, so Lin Yundong reached out and touched Ziwei Daoren's cheek, looking at his black hair and white hair, but he could only sigh.
Huang Wudi thought simply.
But the past is a vicissitude.
Back then, no matter who was right or wrong, if you miss it, you miss it.
I couldn't bear it back then, so I left Huiyin here, and now it's a little more complicated, what can she do?
