Red Dust Inn The thirty-third chapter of the righteous knot Jinlan
Shen Luoxia and Zhao Zheng sat side by side on the trunk of the tree, raised their eyes to look into the distance, looked over the mountain, and after looking at it for a while, she asked, "Do you like to climb trees?" ”
"It's okay, when I was younger, I climbed trees with other kids, but I never climbed it again when I was older." Zhao Zheng replied.
"My younger brother, like you, loved to climb trees when he was a child, but my parents often scolded him for climbing trees because they were worried that something would happen to him when he climbed trees."
"Shopkeeper, I take the liberty of asking, why did Brother Ling die back then?" In order to trigger the hidden plot, Zhao Zheng deliberately picked up the topic of Shen Luoxia's younger brother.
"He has been sick since he was a child, my parents took him around to seek medical advice, the doctor said that he had a 'distress disease', this disease is born with it, unless you look for martial arts masters to use internal strength to treat, open up the heart and vein stagnation, otherwise it cannot be treated with ordinary herbs. Our family was very poor at that time, and no one was a martial arts person, where to find any martial arts masters to help? Because there was nothing we could do, our family could only watch my brother Rì lose weight until he died. Shen Luoxia finished slowly, and the look in her eyes immediately dimmed.
"How old was he when he died?" Although Zhao Zheng knew in advance that Shen Luoxia's younger brother had died young, he didn't know anything about the specific details and wanted to know about it.
"I'm only fourteen years old, a little younger than you are."
"When he died, didn't you learn martial arts?"
"I was sixteen years old when he died, and I hadn't been taken away by my master yet, and I hadn't been exposed to martial arts." Shen Luoxia glanced sideways at Zhao Zheng and asked, "Do you want to hear how I learned martial arts?" ”
"I want to hear about it."
Shen Luoxia nodded, retracted her gaze, and redirected it to a farther place, the endless mountains, the canopy of branches, and the desolate autumn wind all came under her eyes, "The world has always valued sons over daughters, and women can't do farm work, and they can't inherit the family property, so they are naturally despised. My family is no exception, after my parents gave birth to me, because they disliked me as a girl, they had their second child the next year, and after another year, they gave birth to a boy smoothly. ”
"In the first few years of my brother's birth, my parents were very happy and smiled from ear to ear every day, but as my brother grew older, some diseases followed, and whenever he was strenuous activity, he would have chest tightness, and he also developed at a slower rate than his peers, much shorter than other children. When he reached the age of ten, he had more ailments, and sometimes he even fainted suddenly. ”
"Seeing my brother sick, the smiles on my parents' faces decreased, and sometimes they even made fun of me. On the day of my brother's death, my parents hugged each other and wept bitterly, I kindly stepped forward to persuade them a few words, who thought that my mother not only did not appreciate it, but also pointed to my nose and said, 'I blame you, I blame you, it was you who killed your brother with a broom stark, and you should have been the one who died of illness, you should have gone and changed your brother back!' When I heard this, I was very sad and ran out of the house crying, and ran for a long, long distance until I was too tired to stop. ”
Shen Luoxia mentioned the sad things in the past, her eyes flashed, as if those things happened yesterday, everything is still vivid, she paused for a moment, and then continued: "At that time, it was already dark, I was so tired that I leaned against a tree, because I felt wronged, I kept holding my knees and crying there. At that time, I had been hoping that my parents would catch up, but instead of coming, a stranger appeared in front of me, and that person was my master, the Flying Lady Yaksha. ”
Hearing this name, Zhao Zheng was a little surprised, although he had a certain understanding of Shen Luoxia, but this understanding was very limited, and he had not checked Shen Luoxia's information in all aspects before. This was the first time he learned that Shen Luoxia's master turned out to be the famous "Flying Lady Yasha" Hua Xiangrong.
The martial arts people walk on one side of the avenue towards the sky, there are righteous paths and evil paths, but not everyone is so clearly divided, and there are still some people between the righteous path and the evil path. These people either don't ask about the world, or they are obsessed with cultivation, or they follow the xìng, which is not a righteous path or an evil path.
Flying Lady Yasha Flower Xiangrong is a martial arts master between the righteous path and the evil way, she does things according to her own likes and dislikes, and does not care about right and wrong, sometimes she will kill and bully the weak, and sometimes she will help some people with righteousness, which is unpredictable.
For this kind of person, the good and evil will generally not provoke, unless there is a conflict or entanglement of interests between each other, they will go to this kind of person for trouble.
Zhao Zheng has only been in contact with Hua Xiangrong twice in the game, and the impression is not particularly deep, now in retrospect, Hua Xiangrong is a master of using Luo Yanbu and Orchid Point Acupoint, no wonder Shen Luoxia will be Hua Xiangrong's apprentice.
Shen Luoxia looked into the distance and continued: "You are not deeply involved in the world, you should not have heard of her old man's name, she was born in the flower family of Wanhua Valley of the martial arts family, and her martial arts are extremely high, as her apprentice, I don't even know what kind of realm her cultivation has reached." The two famous skills of the Wanhua Valley Hua family are Luo Yanbu and Orchid Point Acupoint, and my master has worked these two kung fu for many years, and later passed them on to me. ”
"Her martial arts are so high, why did she appear in front of you that day?" Zhao Zheng asked curiously.
"She was on her way that day, passing through the woods, and she happened to see me crying, so she came over for no particular reason. I met her purely by fate. In this world, you met me, I met you, where are there so many reasons? ”
"That's just as well."
"When she saw that I was crying sadly, she asked me, 'Little doll, why are you crying here alone at such a late hour, aren't you afraid that the wolf will come and take you away?' My master was disheveled and unkempt, and he looked quite scary, and I was so scared that I told all the things that had happened to my family, and I didn't dare to hide anything. When she heard this, she was very angry, and with one finger she broke off a big tree, grabbed me, and shouted, 'You are a hard-working person like me, and you are not treated by your parents, since they don't like you, then you can go with me, I will teach you martial arts, and I will give you food.' After saying that, she grabbed me and left my hometown, and I was gone for several years. ”
"And then? Where did you go with her? ”
"I was young at that time, and I cried all day after she took me away, and whenever she saw me crying, she would reprimand me, and I was afraid of her, and I didn't dare to cry when I heard her scold. She took me a long way, and after a long time, I stopped crying. Then she began to find time to teach me martial arts, and wherever she went, she would teach me. Over the years, she has taken me all over the country, covering half of the Great Yan Country. For the first two years, I didn't want to go home because I was afraid of Master and because I blamed my parents, but after two years, I missed my parents more and more, and I didn't blame them anymore. I had the courage to ask Master to return to my parents, but ...... Master didn't agree, and she wouldn't let me leave her. I didn't understand it at the time, but now I understand that Master has already regarded me as his daughter and is reluctant to let me go. ”
Shen Luoxia couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's a pity that there is no feast in the world, no one can be together forever, if you want to be with some of them, you have to leave others, people's rì is spent in this division and integration, there is laughter when there is reunion, there will be tears when separation." After many years of wandering with Master, I finally couldn't bear to miss my family, so I secretly left Master and went to my hometown alone. Halfway through, Master suddenly appeared and stopped me. I thought that Master would stop me, but I didn't expect Master to do this, she caught up with me, just to say goodbye to me, and said, 'You and I are at the end of our master-apprentice relationship, you can go'. ”
"I was very sad to hear Master say this, but in the end, I chose between Master and my parents. I returned to my hometown alone, wanting to reunite with my parents, but unfortunately fate made people, after I returned to my hometown, I could not find my parents, and I inquired with others to find out that in the years I left, a plague broke out in my hometown, and my parents died in that plague. When I heard the news, I was struck by lightning and almost collapsed, and I lost my brother, my master, and my parents, and I was left alone. ”
"At that time, I was sad, hopeless, empty, and had nothing to rely on, and I could neither go back to the Master, nor anywhere else to go, and wandered the world like a living dead. It was at that time that I met a man with whom I did many ridiculous things and became a dewy couple with him. I was in that state of wandering, desperately needing someone's comfort, and I wasn't really in love with that man at all. And he wasn't a good man, just a prodigal son, and when we both got tired of it, we got together and went apart. After leaving him, I came here and opened this Red Dust Inn, where I waited for my true crush to appear. This is how I learned martial arts and what I have experienced over the years. Shen Luoxia smiled bitterly after finishing speaking.
After listening to Shen Luoxia's narration, Zhao Zheng thought in his heart: "Everyone in this world has their own story and their own joys and sorrows. She's pathetic enough, if it weren't for those things that happened, she wouldn't have become as promiscuous as she is now, having relationships with many men. ”
Shen Luoxia didn't drink the wine, she was slightly disappointed, turned her head to look at Zhao Zheng, and asked, "Xiao Zhao, you have been begging for a living all these years, you are lonely, and you don't even have any relatives around you, ...... Do you want to have another loved one? ”
Zhao Zheng's heart jumped, he bothered to learn to play the flute, but waiting for this moment, he immediately nodded and said, "Of course I want to find my relatives." ”
"The world is so big, where do you go to find your relatives? If you don't dislike it, I'm willing to be your sister and accept you as a brother-in-law, so that you and I will have relatives. Shen Luoxia said solemnly.
"If the shopkeeper does not dislike me for being a beggar, how can I dislike the shopkeeper? I'd love to be your brother and call you sister. Zhao Zheng also said solemnly, part of the reason why he was willing to be Shen Luoxia's younger brother was to learn Luo Yanbu, but part of the reason was that he was sincere, he crossed over here alone, and he also hoped to have a relative.
"Good! Since you are willing, from now on we will be sisters and brothers, it is better to choose rì than to bump into rì, and we will bow and bow now. Shen Luoxia did things very simply, immediately grabbed Zhao Zheng's shoulder, jumped off the tree with Zhao Zheng, fell to the trunk in mid-air, repeated several times, and finally landed.
Shen Luoxia let go of the hand holding Zhao Zheng, looked around, raised her hand to break off three thin branches, inserted them into the land facing the north, and said: "I don't believe in ghosts and gods, I don't worship Buddhas, since ancient times, the southeast, northwest, and north are the greatest, let's worship the north today." There is no incense here, so these three branches are used instead. ”
"Listen all...... Sister arranged. Zhao Zheng agreed.
Hearing that Zhao Zheng had changed his words, Shen Luoxia was very happy, as if she had found a lost relative, and a heartfelt smile bloomed on her face. She took off the white porcelain flask hanging from her waist, lifted the lid, tossed the lid aside, and then bit her fingers and dripped blood into the flask. She shook the wine jug twice, letting the blood beads dissolve in the wine, and then handed the wine jug to Zhao Zheng and instructed: "Learn from me, this is called blood alliance, after we drink blood wine, we will have each other's blood in our bodies, and we will be relatives from now on." ”
Zhao Zheng took the wine jug, without saying a word, bit his finger and dripped his own blood into it.
Shen Luoxia nodded, took the wine jug mixed with the blood of the two of them, and put it aside for the time being. She knelt down on her knees facing the north with three branches in her hands, ignoring the dirt staining her skirt. Zhao Zheng knelt down side by side with him, and his mood suddenly surged.
"The two of us will kowtow to the north together, and I'll say a word later, and you can tell me." Shen Luoxia commanded.
"Okay." Zhao Zhengying said.
"I'm Shen Luoxia."
"I'm Zhao Zheng."
"The two of us are sisters and brothers with different surnames here, and we will share blessings and difficulties in the future, not to be born in the same year and month, but to die in the same year and month!"
"The two of us are sisters and brothers with different surnames here, and we will share blessings and difficulties in the future, not to be born in the same year and month, but to die in the same year and month!"
"The Emperor and the Queen of Heaven are here to learn from this heart. Treachery and ingratitude, heaven and man kill together! ”
"The Emperor and the Queen of Heaven are here to learn from this heart. Treachery and ingratitude, heaven and man kill together! ”
After saying that, the two of them kowtowed to the north together, and they all got up after kowtowing three times. Shen Luoxia grabbed the wine jug beside her, took a big sip from mouth to mouth, and drank half a pot in this sip, she wiped the wine overflowing from the corner of her mouth, and handed the wine jug to Zhao Zheng. Zhao Zheng took the flask and drank the rest of the wine in two sips, his stomach churned, and there was a fiery burning sensation.
Zhao Zheng put down the flask and looked at his new sister.
"From now on, you will be my brother, come, call Sister to listen." Shen Luoxia commanded with a smile.
"Sister." Zhao Zheng said with a smile.
"It's not enough, call again."
"Sister."
"Scream again."
"Sister."
"Scream again."
"Sister, sister, sister......" Zhao Zheng simply shouted endlessly.
Shen Luoxia was amused and laughed, her voice echoing in the forest, this smile was the happiest smile she had shown in several years.
