Chapter 39: The Three-Year Covenant (Part I)

Everyone has a road under their feet, some people have a living road under their feet, and some people have a dead road under their feet.

The road under Jintai's feet now is a dead end, he is seeking his own death, only when he dies, can he exchange a way of life for the Taishan faction, completely end the grievances between the two factions, and let the two factions reconcile. Although he had made up his mind, this dead end was still not so easy to walk, and every step he took had to make a lot of determination and effort, as if a thousand pounds of weight were pressing on his feet.

This dead end leads to the Three Swords Sect, a place that brought endless nightmares to his old age, and is likely to be his burial place in the future!

He came alone, and he didn't need the company of others to walk this way, and if there was someone next to him, he would definitely stop him. He didn't want to be stopped, because that was the only solution. If he chooses otherwise, he will sacrifice others, and he would rather sacrifice himself than others. It's a sad thing to watch those young and energetic lives wither, and since someone has to die, let him die this old bone.

This road is very long, but after all, it has come to an end, his footsteps have already stepped into the sphere of influence of the Three Swords Sect, if he goes further, he may encounter the people of the Three Swords Sect. He raised his head and looked at the mountains of the Three Swords Sect from afar, and realized how similar these mountains were to the mountains of the Taishan Sect. In fact, the two sects were originally in the same spirit and lived in peace for hundreds of years, but now they have reached such a bleak point.

"Ugh." Jin Tai sighed lightly, and his heart was full of emotion.

At this moment, a figure flickered in the grass, and a person flashed.

Jin Tai's celestial perception is so sensitive, he has already discovered the person in the grass, but he didn't take it seriously, he just regarded it as a disciple of the Three Swords Sect**. But when he looked at this person clearly, he found that he had guessed wrong, the person who came was not from the Three Swords Sect, but a somewhat familiar Taishan faction**.

The man who came out of the grass was a young man of about twenty years old, with good facial features and a dignified appearance, with a ready-to-go sword hanging from his waist, and the Cambridge part was engraved with the name of the sword, which was the three characters of Zichu Sword.

"Are you ......" Jin Tae felt that the young man in front of him was very familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while.

"Meet the master, I am the newly appointed little elder of the Taishan faction, my name is Zhao Zheng, when you returned to the Taishan faction last night, I was the first to greet you. Probably you are a noble person who forgets things, so you forgot about me. Zhao Zheng gave a deep salute and said.

After getting these tips, Jin Tai suddenly realized, suddenly remembered Zhao Zheng, and remembered some rumors related to Zi Chujian, after all, these rumors were hyped up a while ago, and it was difficult not to hear them. He nodded and asked, "I remember who you are, but why are you here?" The relationship between the Three Swords Sect and the main sect is in a delicate state, and this place is very dangerous. ”

"I also know that it is dangerous here, but this road is the biggest road for the Taishan Sect to go to the Three Swords Sect, if you walk to the Three Swords Sect, you will definitely pass through here, so I have to wait for you here." If you were flying to the Three Swords Sect today, I wouldn't have met you, but fortunately you walked over today, which is a great blessing. Zhao Zheng replied.

"You're here to wait for me?"

"Yes."

"Why are you waiting for me?"

"I want to have a few words with you."

"It's very dangerous outside the range of the Taishan Sect, wouldn't it be better for you to ask to see me inside the door?" Kim Tae asked.

"I didn't even have a chance to see you inside the door, since last night, you have been closed to customers, and an elder with a low status like me is not qualified to see you at all." Zhao Zheng explained.

"I just came back yesterday, and I am busy with assignments, so naturally I don't have time to meet idlers and others, and when the turmoil passes, I will pick up customers widely."

"But what I'm about to say is urgent, and I really can't wait."

"What are you going to tell me?" Seeing that Zhao Zheng said solemnly, Jin Tai's brows furrowed slightly, and his appetite was aroused.

"What I'm going to say is a transgression of status, this kind of thing shouldn't have been said by a new elder like me, but it's too relevant for me to say. Master, last night in the Cangsong Hall, you promised in public that you would successfully resolve the grievances and entanglements with the Three Swords Sect today, but you didn't say what method you would use to solve it. I went back to my bedroom last night to rest, and I couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, and I guessed your so-called solution, but I didn't know if it was right. I hope the boss will give me a chance to dare to say this guess, you can listen to it. Zhao Zheng pleaded.

As soon as Jin Tai heard that it was about his own decision, the pimple between his two white eyebrows became heavier, he stared at Zhao Zheng deeply, and said slowly: "These things are not something you should meddle in. ”

"The people of the world are in charge of the affairs of the world, and the people of the Taishan faction naturally have to take care of the affairs of the Taishan faction. Master, what you are going to do today is related to the rise and fall of the entire Taishan faction, and every member of the Taishan faction has the responsibility to take care of it. Zhao Zheng argued.

Seeing that what Zhao Zheng said was reasonable, Jin Tai nodded and said, "Okay." Tell me what you've guessed. ”

"You made it very clear last night, Master, that the grievances between us and the Three Swords Sect have reached an impasse, and there is no better solution. If you can lead the Taishan Sect to fight to the death against the Three Swords Sect, it is expected that the Three Swords Sect will be leveled and once and for all. But the head of the house is kind-hearted and worried, and it is impossible to do such an arrogant thing. In this way, there is only one way to resolve this grievance, and that is ......" Zhao Zheng showed a hint of helplessness, "That is, you personally went to the Three Swords Sect to plead guilty, admitted the unjust case seven years ago, and obeyed the Three Swords Sect." If you confess your guilt, the Three Swords Sect will not find a reason to attack the Taishan faction, and from then on, the Taishan faction will be able to restore its former tranquility. I don't know if I'm right or not? ”

After hearing this, Jin Tai's eyes trembled, and his heart felt as if he had been hit by an arrow, and this speculation could be said to have hit him right in the heart, saying his thoughts and his purpose today. He just wanted to go to the Three Swords Sect to receive the sin that did not belong to him, and then exchange his life for the peace of the Taishan Sect. His life is so precious, he is naturally unwilling to give his life for the sake of injustice, but now, he has no other choice, and he has been forced to a dead end.

He glanced at Zhao Zheng blankly, and then said with a wry smile: "I really didn't expect that so many things that the Taishan sect didn't expect were expected by you." You're right, I'm going to exchange the peace of the Taishan faction and resolve the grievances between the two sects in this way today. ”

"I didn't expect it to be really guessed, in fact, I just guessed, and I didn't dare to be completely sure." Zhao Zheng was also a little surprised, there are not many fools in this world who can give their lives for others.

"You guessed it, you guessed it exactly. So far, there is only one way to satisfy the Three Swords Sect. ”

"Master, this may not be, in my opinion, even if you are willing to sacrifice yourself, the Three Swords Sect may not let go of the Taishan faction."

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

"Boss, you should also be aware of it, although the Three Swords Sect is under the banner of justice to avenge the old master, but in fact it is more than revenge, if it is revenge, they should aim at you alone, but in fact, they are not only aimed at you, but also often kill and suppress other members of the Taishan faction, trying to weaken the power of the Taishan faction in many ways. Obviously, the purpose of the Three Swords Sect is not just to take revenge, but to have an even more insatiable purpose! Zhao Zheng said with a look in his eyes.

"What the Three Swords Sect has done is indeed excessive, many times, but I feel that they have only intensified after they failed to take revenge, and before the tragedy happened seven years ago, the people of the Three Swords Sect were still very good." Kim Tae-do.

"Boss, whether they were premeditated before, or intensified afterwards, in short, their purpose now is not so simple. Therefore, even if you take this life, it is impossible to return to the so-called peace. You are the head of the dignified Taishan faction, and you have the martial arts cultivation of the Eleventh Heavens, and it is too unworthy to take your surname for a mistake that you have never made at all. I hereby take the place of the people from Tarzan to the top and bottom, and I implore you to think twice and not act impulsively. After Zhao Zheng finished speaking, he gave a deep salute again.

"If there was another choice, how could I be willing to take this old life? But now, the Three Swords Sect is aggressive, and as long as I don't die, they will never give up. Kim Tae sighed.

"Boss, as the so-called heavenly reason is clear, it can't be fake, and it can't be fake. I believe that one day, the truth of the unjust case will be revealed, the real culprit will be made public, and you can also get revenge. At that time, the Three Swords Sect will have no excuse to come to the door to find trouble with the Taishan Sect again, if they are still not interested, we don't have to have any scruples, we can give them a go! At that time, even if we raze the entire Three Swords Sect, the people on the rivers and lakes will not be able to find fault with our Taishan Sect. Zhao Zheng said aggressively.

"I also hope for that day, but seven years have passed, and I have never been able to find out anything about this unjust case, but I am afraid that there will never be a day when the case will be overturned." Jin Tai said with a bitter face.

"Boss, it's not the last moment, please don't give up easily, you should continue to investigate in-depth and look for clues."

"But if it drags on any longer, the Three Swords Sect will definitely continue to trouble the Taishan faction endlessly, and more innocent people will be implicated."

"For this matter, we can take a delaying strategy, first set a date, and agree that during this time, the two sects will temporarily suspend their troops, don't make trouble with each other, and try to refrain from doing so. After the deadline is reached, give them a satisfactory explanation. In this way, it not only stabilized the Three Blades Sect, but also bought us time to continue the investigation. ”

"This matter has been dragging on for seven years, but I'm afraid that the Three Swords Sect will not continue to drag it on."

"Since it's been delayed for seven years, what's the point of adding another three years, it's better to set a three-year deadline." Zhao Zheng's eyes flashed with a hint of confidence, "I believe that three years is enough time to find out the truth of the matter." (To be continued.) )
