Chapter Twenty-Three: The Son of the Wicked
The former villain Pan Renmei is known to everyone, and no one is not disgusted, because he not only killed the famous general Su Yuzheng, but also buried 200,000 soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. However, Shen Lingjun was slightly involved with him, which puzzled Su Mu.
When Shen Lingjun talked about his true identity, Su Musha nodded and said without concealment: "Actually, it's not difficult, the kung fu you have used and the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow you hold in your hand can obviously be seen by people." ”
Seeing that Shen Lingjun lowered his head and was thinking about something, his hair that fell down covered the side of his face, and his expression could not be seen.
Thinking that she was bothered by her identity being revealed, for some reason, Su Musha, who had never cared about others, couldn't help but add: "But don't worry, except for my master, it shouldn't be easy for others to recognize." ”
Shen Lingjun suddenly raised her head, looked at Su Musha's face for a long time, and then smiled, she wasn't worried about this, the people in this world who knew her father and knew his kung fu were almost dead. In other words, even if she recognizes her, she is still her, except for a few more people looking for trouble, nothing has changed. Moreover, if she is afraid of trouble, she will not cause trouble every day.
"Pan Renmei is the son of my third uncle," Shen Lingjun spoke, his eyes usually looking ahead, letting go of the reins and letting Hui Feng go by himself.
She said in a slow tone, "You know, there were a lot of people following my father at that time. Later, after he decided to retire from the rivers and lakes, he found a place to settle down and no longer paid attention to the affairs of the rivers and lakes. My third uncle was also a devil when he was young, and he killed many people in order to practice magic skills, and finally his wife was separated and his family was ruined. Until the end, in order to stop him from continuing to kill innocents, my father wasted his kung fu with one palm, but I didn't expect him to realize that he had realized it since then, and he regretted the wrong things he did when he was young. ”
Shen Lingjun's face was full of emotion, telling the bad guy to know his mistake, it was better to kill him, at least the latter was not so painful, and the bad guy who became good lived in repentance all his life. Especially when he thinks of the innocent people who died tragically at his hands, there is nothing more than life worse than death.
Su Musha frowned slightly, "Could it be that your third uncle is Pan Lai, who is known as the wicked man." ”
"Well," Shen Lingjun chuckled lightly and said, "It turned out to be Pan Fenglai, and then he was a little crazy after practicing magic skills, so he became Pan Lai's crazy." Later, after the third uncle sobered up, he felt ashamed of his wife and a pair of children, and went alone to find the three of them. It's a pity that the third uncle's wife had already died of illness at that time, leaving only a pair of young children. ”
Shen Lingjun shook his head and said: "At that time, Pan Renmei was only fifteen or sixteen, and his sister Pan Qinglian was only thirteen years old. As for Pan Qinglian, she is really very sensible, although she is only twelve or thirteen, she often helps her neighbors do some work and earn a few pocket money, just like that, her brother and sister can barely get by. The third uncle was naturally very distressed when he heard this, so he took his children over to live together. ”
Su Musha nodded, "It's also a good child." ”
"Yes, for a wicked person, this is considered very complete," Speaking of this, Shen Lingjun sighed again, "Later, many people saw that their brothers and sisters were pitiful, and they all redoubled their love for them, no matter what they requested, they tried their best to meet them. ”
Then, his expression was slightly cold, his voice turned cold, and he said: "However, you must know that a wolf is a wolf, and it is not ripe. At first, Pan Renmei wanted my father to teach him kung fu, but my father's kung fu is also evil after all, unless there is my father's innate condition, otherwise ordinary people are easy to go mad, and there will be many demons on the rivers and lakes at that time. So my father told him that he didn't plan to pass on these kung fu in his life, so he would stop in his generation. ”
Su Musha imagined that the legendary demon was different from what others had described him before, in the eyes of the world, he was a ghostly, cold-blooded and ruthless demon, killing people without blinking, and even some exaggerations said that he was a demon who came out of hell, and would manipulate the power of evil to control people.
Of course, he is not as terrible as the world says, and he is not as warm as Shen Lingjun's mouth. Because, Su Musha himself had also seen Shen Lingjun and her father, who was still very young at that time, and Shen Lingjun's father sent someone to send a letter to Yuxiao Peak in Tiantai Mountain, asking the Sword Saint to go and save a child. Previously, Su Musha had never heard of any friendship between his master Sword Saint and Demon Venerable, and when asked, his master only said one sentence at that time, if you want to lose the bet, you can go.
Su Musha had only seen the Demon Venerable once, and he had the impression that the person was dressed in black, with an unusually tall figure, a solemn expression, and occasionally showed a little fatigue.
That time, he stayed in Guishan for three days, and he also spent three days with the young Shen Lingjun. And now that I think about it, Shen Lingjun at that time was extremely interesting, even more eccentric than now. It's just that Su Musha didn't pay so much attention at that time, and for some reason, now that he thinks about it, he feels a little regretful in his heart.
Su Musha came back to his senses and said lightly: "At that time, your father didn't expect to have you." ”
The corners of Shen Lingjun's mouth curled, revealing a pleasant smile, and he laughed: "Haha~ My father didn't expect to meet my mother's ghost." ”
The Demon Venerable, who has killed countless people in his life, can still meet people who know and love each other after retiring to the rivers and lakes, and live a life like a fairy couple hand in hand, which makes most people in the rivers and lakes feel extremely unfair, perhaps they feel that such a wicked person will suffer from illness, and then die alone is God's retribution.
And Su Musha didn't think so, what the Demon Venerable did back then, they didn't experience it personally, they were all false, and Su Musha never made judgments about people and things that he didn't see in person. What's more, his master Sword Saint can still communicate with the Demon Venerable, which shows that the Demon Venerable is not as unbearable as they say, and the rumors in the rivers and lakes cannot be believed.
The wind passed through the forest, and it sounded, shaking off the dead leaves on the ground.
There was a moment of silence between the two, and Su Musha asked, "Then what happened?" ”
Shen Lingjun touched Hui Feng's head, "My father refused Pan Renmei's request to learn kung fu, at that time, Pan Renmei was silent on the surface, but he was extremely unwilling in his heart, he has always regarded himself very highly, he felt that his talent was superior, and he thought that my father was selfish and refused to teach. So, he took advantage of my father's outing, stole my father's martial arts secrets, and escaped down the mountain with his sister overnight. ”
Su Musha was curious and said, "Why did he take his sister away, his sister is a helper?" ”
Shen Lingjun shook his head, "No, Pan Renmei is a great traitor, on the contrary, his sister Pan Qinglian is an extremely kind person, and all the uncles and aunts on the mountain like her very much." Either the brother and sister have relied on each other for more than ten years, or Pan Qinglian herself wants to follow her brother, afraid that he will do something wrong, so she can advise one or two on the side, anyway, the two of them left together. ”
Su Musha said: "Your father and Pan Lai didn't come back to him?" ”
Shen Lingjun frowned slightly, and recalled: "I heard Aunt Lan say that when my father found out that the secret book was stolen, and after the Pan Renmei brothers and sisters disappeared, he said a word. ”
"What?"
"My father said that there is a certain number in the dark," Shen Lingjun hooked the broken hair on his cheeks with his fingers and bypassed behind his ears, and sighed: "I don't understand either, they like to say a few profound words, and others can't guess it, anyway, my father didn't go down the mountain to find it, but the third uncle went a few times, but didn't find it, and then the third uncle was extremely depleted because of his young practice of magic skills, plus this incident, the depression condensed in his heart, and he passed away not long after." ”
Hearing this, Su Mu's thin lips gently spit out two words, "Debt." ”
Shen Lingjun spread his hands, "Isn't it, but then the two of them got married and set up their own families, and Pan Renmei didn't know how to get into the court, and the more they got mixed up, the official position rose all the way, and it seemed that everything was going in a good direction." ”
Speaking of this, Shen Lingjun sighed lightly again: "No one knows what happened later, and when I hear the news of Pan Renmei, his crime is exposed, Ling Chi is sentenced, and the nine clans will be involved." Pan Renmei deserves it, but Pan Qinglian is so innocent, and she also gave birth to children, the husband and wife are harmonious, and the whole family, big and small, even with dozens of servants, can't all die unjustly. ”
Killed 200,000 Tang troops, this crime is big enough, and even the nine clans can be imagined, although many times the relatives are innocent, but if the people in power do not use some harsh means, they will not be able to give an explanation to the family of the famous general Su Yuzheng who died unjustly, nor can they give an explanation to the 200,000 soldiers who died in vain.
Su Musha knew that this was about to be contacted by Shen Lingjun as an official, so he said, "Later, you rescued Pan Qinglian's family." ”
Shen Lingjun said nonchalantly, "Yes, the emperor was still the queen of heaven at that time, and I had a relationship with her because of a relationship, so I went to find her at that time, and she promised to help me move flowers and trees and save Aunt Qinglian's family of five, but there were two conditions." The first condition is that they must leave the capital overnight and go to other places to live incognito for the rest of their lives. As for the second condition, let me be an official to pay off my debts. ”
It was the first time Su Musha had heard of the term "being an official to pay off debts", because for many people, being an official was a huge temptation and they couldn't ask for it. He couldn't figure out why the emperor was quite a shrewd person, so why did he have to let Shen Lingjun take up this small official position?
Su Musha turned his head sideways, just facing Shen Lingjun's eyes, Yingying smiled, as if revealing a little helplessness, Su Musha couldn't help but sigh secretly, she was a reckless and lawless little witch, but now she is trapped in the cage of the third-grade official, and she is very unwilling. However, for the sake of relatives who are not considered relatives, Shen Lingjun chose this path, and Su Musha appreciated her more.
Shen Lingjun tilted his head to look at Su Musha, who was silent, and said with a smile: "What are you thinking?" ”
Su Musha naturally looked away and said casually: "Why don't you let your father save me, his words are easy to do." ”
Shen Lingjun raised his hand to pry away the thin branches that were blocking the way, and said disapprerovingly: "My father and they have finally stopped, if they go out of the mountain again, they will definitely not be peaceful in the future." ”
After speaking, Shen Lingjun added with a smile and said, "Isn't the junior's just to share the worries of the elders?" ”
Su Musha can also understand it, because if he can settle things, he doesn't want his master to make a move, he is a handful of old people.
I was about to say anything more, and suddenly a slight exclamation of a woman came from ahead.
Shen Lingjun and Su Musha glanced at each other.
Su Musha pointed to the right side of the forest and said, "Go and see." ”
