Chapter Ninety-Six: The Sea
Gusu, Yaowangzong
The peach blossoms in the courtyard of Jin Ling's small building are all blooming, and this year's peach blossoms are still in full bloom, but the people who live here seem to be more and more serious with the passage of time.
Wen Linglong stood in the courtyard of Jin Lingxiaozhu, staring at a few maids who were cleaning the courtyard not far away.
Now, in the Medicine King Sect, she has nothing else to do except cultivate her body and occasionally practice some heart methods to protect her body.
used to be here, because there was Ji Chen, Wen Xun, and Wen Hanyue was here, she didn't think that life was boring.
Now, although she has been back for a long time, the people who once lived here have left and disappeared, leaving her alone.
Looking at the peach blossoms under the golden light, she sighed, and her heart was a little sad.
Once upon a time, she would often enjoy the flowers here with another person, dance the sword under the peach blossom tree, and drink tea.
The vicissitudes of life, things are no longer the same, but now she is the only one, looking at the scenery of the past.
At this time, a person walked in from outside the courtyard...
At a distance, at first glance, seeing the white figure, Wen Linglong was stunned and thought that the person was back.
But when she saw the person clearly, her heart was suddenly full of disappointment.
Wen Zhe walked in slowly, he had already seen the disappointment in Wen Linglong's eyes, walked to her and stood still, and followed her line of sight.
Neither of them spoke, looking at the same scene in front of them, but the tastes and thoughts in their hearts were different.
Seeing these flowers full of vitality and pressing the branches, Wen Zhe knew that Wen Linglong remembered Wen Xun, but what he remembered was Su Jianxiang.
He remembered that he had been in the peach forest of the Houzhuang in the Tibetan Sword Villa, and he had no opinion on Su Jianxiang, who was frustrated at that time.
At that time, Su Jianxiang, because of Wen Hanyue's intervention, was experiencing a helpless separation with Huo Qingyun.
He still remembered her strong smile and the sad little face that couldn't be hidden.
Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and now that he thinks about it, at that time, he has already paid special attention to and has feelings for Su Jianxiang.
But he knew nothing ...
He heard Huo Qingxin say before that Su Jianxiang loved to drink peach blossoms and get drunk.
He thought, Su Jianxiang must like peach blossoms.
At this time, Wen Linglong on the side, her thoughts have slowly withdrawn, in the past three years, in the season of peach blossoms every year, the most thing she has done is to stare at this peach tree in a daze.
Putting away his somewhat sour gaze, he slowly spoke to the person beside him.
"There's news of your eldest brother."
Wen Xun has been gone for nearly two years, and there has been no news of him coming back, although she said that she didn't care about it or not, but the real thoughts in her heart can't deceive people.
She still loves that man, regardless of whether there is still a place for her in that man's heart now.
When Wen Zhe heard this question, he gradually put away his thoughts and replied.
"Not really."
After Wen Linglong heard this short answer, her eyes instantly fell into a dead silence, and she only heard the person next to her speak again.
"Although there is no news back, I think the eldest brother will take care of himself, you don't have to worry about him."
Wen Xun's two confidants around him, Feng Yang and Li Yong are all by his side, if something happens, they will definitely inform him as soon as possible.
There has been no news for so long, which may also be good news.
And after these words, the courtyard fell into a long silence again.
I don't know when they all started to become reticent, no longer interested and enthusiastic about other things.
Those who left, whether alive or deceased, took the hearts of those who loved them in different ways.
After a long time, Wen Zhe also sighed and found the topic to talk again.
"Your body is almost recovered now, if you don't have anything to do on weekdays, you can go to the Phixia Hall to help, and you can pass the time."
Wen Linglong is a senior sister after all, and her seniority is there, if she is allowed to take care of affairs in the sect, no one will be dissatisfied.
Wen Linglong smiled lightly and said, "I'm a woman, what can I do, besides, because I came back from the dead, I was already making gossip in the sect." If I want to meddle in the affairs of the church again, I am afraid that it will cause criticism from others. ”
Wen Linglong's worries are not unreasonable, although three years have passed, but such a thing as her resurrection has been hotly discussed by others in the Medicine King Sect, and even in the rivers and lakes.
The matter of the Medicine King Pill back then, although it was the last time that the Medicine King Sect opened a killing ring and exterminated those small sects and factions who wanted to become famous in a war, as a warning, it did not completely eliminate some people with ulterior motives.
Among them, Luo Lie, the leader of the demon clan.
After the battle of Tibetan Sword Villa, Luo Lie, who was cut off by Huo Qingxin again, escaped again.
Although the Medicine King Sect has not given up looking for his traces in the past few years, the whereabouts of this person, just like his ability to escape, are nowhere to be found.
There is such a big hidden danger, for Wen Linglong today, it is not a disaster.
It's just that outsiders may not know that now in Wen Linglong's body, the Medicine King Pill that has been opened has long lost its original great power.
"I have already given an order earlier, strictly ordering the people in the sect to discuss this matter, you can rest assured, even if you hear any gossip, you don't have to pay attention to it. Everyone in the world is like this, we are all the objects of other people's mouths, and we don't need to pay too much attention to these. ”
Hearing this, Wen Linglong couldn't help but turn her head in surprise, and saw the worried face of the person next to her.
In her impression, she has always felt that Wen Zhe is the most free and cheerful one among them.
But now every time I see him, I rarely see a smile on his face, on the contrary, every time I see him, there is a faint sadness.
Wen Linglong knew that in the long river of years, Wen Zhe had also changed, for Su Jianxiang.
Thinking of Su Jianxiang, she naturally thought of Huo Qingxin.
And their entanglement with her sister Wen Hanyue, after she woke up, she also heard a lot.
At the beginning, Wen Hanyue's whereabouts and the statement that Wen inquired about her gave her gradually made her understand one thing as time passed.
That was Wen Hanyue, who didn't leave the Medicine King Sect without saying goodbye at all.
She knew Wen Xun's temperament, no matter how wrong Wen Hanyue did, that person would definitely not want her life.
Unless Wen Hanyue did something that made Wen Xun very unforgivable, she must be imprisoned somewhere in the sect.
Thinking of this, Wen Linglong finally asked what she had been suspicious of all along.
Hesitantly spoke, "Hanyue... Isn't it in the Yaowang Mountain? ”
Although she didn't know where Wen Hanyue was, she could feel that Wen Hanyue hadn't left here.
Hearing this question, Wen Zhe turned his head sideways and looked at the person questioning.
At this moment, Wen Linglong had already turned her head, worried about Wen Hanyue's current situation.
Wen Zhe looked at the person beside him for a while, then withdrew his gaze, he did not answer the question immediately, but talked about another thing eloquently.
"In the past few years, have you heard of the tragedy that happened in the Hidden Sword Villa back then."
Wen Linglong was stunned when she heard this, back then, the Tibetan Sword Villa almost destroyed the door overnight because of the fact that Huo Qing had the Medicine King Pill hidden in his heart.
And Huo Qingxin's massacre in the Tibetan Sword Villa is well known to everyone in the rivers and lakes.
She didn't know why Wen Zhehui suddenly mentioned this matter, but a trace of bad premonition rose faintly in her heart.
nodded and said, "This matter is so big, I've heard about it."
Wen Zhe let out a long sigh, and what came to his mind at this moment was the scene when he and Wen Xun rushed to the Tibetan Sword Villa with the disciples of the Medicine King Sect.
The scene of that day must be unforgettable to anyone who saw it.
Youyou said, "When the Tibetan Sword Villa was ambushed, and my eldest brother and I arrived, the Hidden Sword Villa had already suffered countless casualties and a river of blood. Huo Qingxin was holding the Seven-Star Sword at the time, and his clothes and face were covered with blood. All around her, corpses were strewn all over the field, and she looked like a Yama who had just crawled out of hell... The eyes are full of scarlet, full of hatred... ”
Speaking of this, Wen Zhe paused, and when Wen Linglong heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart.
She could imagine how much sacrifice a daughter's family had to make in the face of those people in such a situation, and how much life and death decisions a daughter had to make, and finally came to that step.
At this time, only Wen Zhe's voice sounded.
"Others may not know what kind of process it takes to break the seal and release the power of the Medicine King Pill... But a few of us know it. To break the seal, we not only have to cut off our own meridians, but also have to endure pain that ordinary people can't bear. At that time, Huo Qingxin was probably really desperate and desperate, so he finally did not hesitate to destroy his body and lift the seal of the Medicine King Dan. ”
At that time, she knew that no one would come to help her, and no one would help them get out of the predicament and keep the Hidden Sword Villa, so she made this decision in desperation.
Wen Zhe knew that Su Jianxiang's death was the last straw that overwhelmed Huo Qing's heart.
The friendship between the two of them, he knows very well, but unfortunately, if he could have come one step earlier, maybe, there would not have been everything that happened later...
Su Jianxiang would not have died tragically at the hands of Luo Lie, and Huo Qingxin would not have decided to exchange his life for a life and resurrect Wen Linglong.
"Senior sister, don't blame my eldest brother, he has spent ten years repenting, blaming himself for the harm he did to you back then. He has been looking for a way to save you and has never given up on you. Now, he is afraid that he will use his life to remember the feelings he has not yet had time to express. Huo Qingxin paid for him no less than what you paid for my eldest brother at the beginning. ”
What's more, the person who inquires in his heart now is Huo Qingxin.
Just like him, in this life, I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to say it to the person in my heart again, my heart, please you.
When Wen Linglong heard this, her heart was a little sour, but she was able to face it calmly.
"I can understand what you said, and I won't blame your eldest brother. I know that Miss Huo has paid far more than me. Her life is what she has given me now, and there is nothing to complain about. ”
It's just a pity that she didn't have the opportunity to say thank you to this life-saving benefactor in person.
She thought, Huo Qingxin must be a different woman, if it weren't for this, Wen Xun and Ji Chen wouldn't both value her so much...
