Chapter 69: A Choice of Fate

There is no time in the mountains, ten years have passed, Lin Si is already twenty-five years old, and he has practiced advanced martial arts all year round.

He knelt in front of Bai Fan at this time, his eyes were full of begging, but deeper was firm and stubborn.

Bai Fan put down the book in his hand expressionlessly, looked at him and said: "Si'er, ten years ago, you told your teacher that you would practice invincible martial arts in the world and pass on your most profound martial arts to your teacher, but now you can't beat it when you practice Su'er." Now, you say that men should not be buried in the mountains and forests, but should go out to achieve a great cause, you tell the teacher, life is just a hundred years, what do you want? ”

Lin Si's eyes flashed with a hint of shame, and then he said firmly: "Life is short, what you ask for too much, the disciple only knows that the man is heroic and dry, and if he has a skill, he will be famous in the world, not to mention that a few months ago, the barrier of the Great Song Dynasty Xiangyang has been broken, and now my Han people are all wailing under the iron horse of the Mongolian people, and the disciple has suffered from military disasters since he was a child. ”

"Hey......" Bai Fan sighed, knowing that he didn't need to persuade again, and said: "You go, but remember not to mention 'Zhulu' and Shimen to anyone, otherwise the teacher will personally arrest you and break your two legs." ”

Bai Fan's tone was flat, but a trace of cold sweat broke out on Lin Si's forehead, and he knelt on the ground and said, "Disciple doesn't dare." ”

"Let's go, everyone has their own fate, and you can't force it for a teacher", Bai Fan was helpless in his heart, once he went down the mountain and Lin Si was involved in the world, the progress of martial arts would be slower, and the hope of being able to reach more than a hundred years old was very slim, so he completely lost the opportunity to enter the origin world. For more than ten years, he has devoted himself to the hope that he can support himself in the origin world in the future, but things are always unsatisfactory, and his face can't help but show loneliness.

Lin Si looked at the disappointment on his master's face, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart, no matter what before, the master had never shown this kind of look to himself, even when the junior sister's martial arts surpassed his own, he suddenly felt stunned, and after kowtowing respectfully three times, he resolutely turned around and left.

At the end of the bamboo forest, dressed in a white gauze skirt, the ice and jade fluttering were slim, and he watched Lin Si's figure disappear into the mountain road before turning around indifferently and returning to the bamboo house.

"Master, senior brother has left." She knelt beside Bai Fan and said softly.

Bai Fan nodded, watching her eyes flicker and groan.

Seeing Bai Fan's hesitation, Piao Su smiled and said, "Does Master have something to say to Su'er?" ”

Bai Fan came back to his senses and sighed: "Xu'er, for the teacher, I want you to be carefree all your life, and you will always be so quiet and indifferent, just like ...... It's like a teacher's sister. ”

Piao Su showed a hint of surprise and said, "Master, does Su'er still have an aunt?" Why have I never heard Master mention it? ”

"Yes, the teacher also has a sister who has depended on each other since childhood, her name is Bai Chan, she used to be a teacher who didn't know martial arts, and she had to worry about food every day like your brother, it was very bitter at that time, but the teacher never gave up, and has been looking forward to one day being able to get ahead, so that her sister can live a worry-free life. Later, he learned advanced martial arts outside for the teacher, and he thought that he could live a good life with his sister, but when he returned home, he learned that she had been taken to a far away place, and he thought that the teacher's current ability could not save her, and he pinned his hopes on your brother for the teacher, but he ...... "Bai Fan's expression was complicated and he didn't continue.

Piao Xue Bing Xue is smart, and she instantly understood what the master meant, listening to the helplessness and frustration between his words, she was inexplicably worried, more than ten years of nurturing grace, her feelings for Bai Fan have surpassed that of master and apprentice, and even father and daughter, so she said: "Master, what my brother can't do, Su'er will help you do it." ”

Bai Fan's heart is also extremely entangled in this life, Piao Fan is really like his sister Bai Chan, the same ice and snow smart, the same pure and flawless dust, he really doesn't want her to be stained with blood.

Piaoxue held his hand and smiled indifferently, warming people's hearts like the first thaw of ice and snow, "Master, the lives of Su'er and my brother are all given by you, my brother has his own pursuits, and he can't share his worries for Master, so let Su'er do what his brother should do, Su'er will not disappoint Master." ”

Bai Fan closed his eyes, made a decision in his heart, and when he opened his eyes again, he had become indifferent, and said, "Su'er, are you sure, once you agree to be a teacher, you can't regret it." ”

"Sure." Her tone was serious and her expression was determined.

"Okay", Bai Fan said lightly: "You go to rest first, and go to the bamboo forest early tomorrow morning to find a teacher." ”

"Yes, Su'er retired", and left in a curling manner.

Bai Fan pondered for a moment, and after going out, he walked down the mountain, which was the first time he had gone down the mountain in more than ten years since coming to Mount Emei.

After he left, Piaofu appeared at the end of the bamboo forest again, looking at the back of the master, both surprised and curious, the master has not come down the mountain for more than ten years, I don't know what this time is for, is it related to himself?

Bai Fan did not return overnight, drifting in the bamboo house for a night, the next morning, the sky was glowing with a faint light, she got up and came to the bamboo forest, only to see that in the morning light, the master stood tall and tall, and there was a figure kneeling beside him, with a long sword in front of him, which looked like a long sword that was longer than the ordinary sword.

Hearing the crisp footsteps behind him, Bai Fan pulled out the long sword with a flick of his hand, turned around and handed it in front of Piaoxi, and said coldly: "Draw the sword and kill him." ”

Piao Su took a step back in shock and looked at the master, her eyes full of horror and puzzlement.

Bai Fan's fingers holding the long sword lightly touched the scabbard, and the long sword suddenly came out of the sheath, revealing half of it, and the sharp cold light stirred up a gust of cold wind and blew on Piaofu's face.

She stretched out her right hand and trembled and grabbed the hilt of the sword, hesitated for a long time, but never grabbed it, and asked with a trembling voice, "Master, why?" ”

Bai Fan didn't look at her, raised his head and said lightly: "The place where the teacher will go in the future is very dangerous, it is the apocalyptic world where people eat people and don't spit out bones, all morality and etiquette are gone, and the truth is only within the reach of your sword, if you can't even pass the level of killing, just stay here for a lifetime, don't go." ”

Piao Xu looked at the master's cold face and felt so unfamiliar, is this still the master who cares for him and is as amiable and respectable as a mountain?

The long sword in front of him is very long, very sharp, very cold, the pattern on the scabbard is simple and vicissitudes, exuding the breath of time, the hilt is smooth grinding marks, it can be seen that its owner once leaned on it very heavily, the blade of the sword naturally exudes a faint murderous aura, this is a murderous sword!

Piaoxi's palms trembled and she never dared to hold the hilt of the sword, looking at Bai Fan's eyes couldn't help but show pleading, for more than ten years on Mount Emei, both the master and her brother have been extremely good to her, responsive, and never let her do anything she didn't like, her heart has always been as pure, indifferent, and kind as when she was eight or nine years old when she was a sword master in a broken thatched house.

Bai Fan didn't urge her, just waited quietly, whether it was Lin Si or Piaoxi, he poured his true feelings into it, regarded them as relatives, no matter what, he would respect the choice of the two of them, the twisted melon is not sweet, and the result of his own persecution is most likely to hurt others and hurt himself.

The morning dew was slightly frosty, and the cold wind of the early morning swept up the bamboo leaves on the ground, charming eyes, and the person on the ground was lit by Bai Fan, and he could neither move nor speak, so he could only wait for the final verdict in horror.

Bai Fan held the long sword in one hand, not trembling at all, as steady as Mount Tai.

A little dew condensed at the tips of her hair, soaking through her clothes, which made her feel a chill in her heart, and after a while, her hands stopped trembling, and she held the hilt of the sword steadily, and drew her long sword, bringing out a pleasant clanging sound.

She walked up to the man and looked at him silently, and she looked at the man's eyes with horror and pleading, and then raised her sword and stabbed him in the heart, and the man let out a cry with difficulty, and his eyes went down blankly.

She took out her long sword and wiped the blood on the man's body, put her hands in front of Bai Fan and said, "Master, Su'er has finished it, return the sword." ”

Bai Fan put the scabbard on her hand and said: "This sword was found in an ancient battlefield after the swordsmanship of the master was Xiaocheng, and decades have passed, and the master has never changed to another sword, and it will be given to you today. ”

Piao Su inserted the long sword back into the scabbard and said, "Su'er remember the master's teachings. ”

Bai Fan nodded, carrying the corpse of the person on the ground and walking towards the outside of the bamboo forest, while saying: "From tomorrow, the teacher will open up the eight veins of the Qi Sutra for you, and you will complete the cultivation of the internal strength of the Nine Yin True Scripture as soon as possible." ”

"Yes", Piao Xu hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "Master, can you tell me who he is?" ”

Bai Fan paused, said, "Death row prisoner", and then continued to walk forward.

Piao Fu breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly, and walked towards the bamboo house while carefully examining the long sword in his hand, his green fingers gently caressing the scabbard.
