Chapter 11: The Truth (Part II)

I didn't finish listening to the second story that Brother Zhengchuan was going to tell me, not so much because Brother Zhengchuan didn't want to explain it to me, but because I didn't have the courage to listen to it.

I still remember the two butterflies in my memory, the night before I was going to kill the dryad, that lonely and cold winter night, they flew through the sky. I never imagined that a thousand years later I would still have a relationship with them, and even become important friends.

But what about them? But he came to find Nie Yan, who was reborn after a thousand years, to take revenge.

Brother Zhengchuan once talked to me about a passage, from Amu: "I'm not a saint, I'm just a butterfly demon, I only remember that before Chaos opened his mind, he was conceived in the body of that tree demon, and there were many disasters, but only me and Sang Sang survived." From the day we break the shell, we have to take care of it until we break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly, until we open our minds. If it weren't for the fact that it did not hesitate to sacrifice itself and let me practice with Sangsang, I and Sang's kidney would be the most difficult insects to cultivate, and I am afraid that we would only have a muddy and short-lived body. In your eyes, it is a heinous tree demon, and to me and Sangsang, it is like a father and a teacher. ”

"Not only that, it's our forest, and one tree is our whole world. In that quiet and lonely place, we came by each other. There have been so many indescribable days, and it has not done any more evil, maybe it just wants to quietly take me and Sangsang to practice like this. It is not easy for us insects to become demons, and it is even more difficult for trees and stones to open up wisdom. From your point of view, it slaughtered villages and cities, and perhaps from its point of view, countless of its kind were cut down and burned for charcoal, and made into furniture and houses. Don't say who is nobler! ”

"Tang Zhengchuan, don't keep saying that I don't distinguish between right and wrong. Even if you say that I am talking about a false reason, I only remember that it was that person who rushed into our world, killed our father, our master, and burned our home. There is a wrong, and there is a debtor. From my point of view, revenge is a matter of course. ”

This is what Amu and Brother Masakawa said about her persistence, in my memory, these words don't seem to come from Amu's mouth at all, she is like a woman who sees through the world and never has anything that can arouse her emotions. Such excited words came from her, and it can only be said that it touched the point that she cared about the most in her heart, and she couldn't control her emotions.

yes, how to control it? In addition, the person who shouted at a glance was the senior brother of the enemy, and treated the enemy as his own brother.

And what about the enemy himself? It turned out to be a friend that he and Sangsang valued so much.

Why don't I want to listen to it anymore? Just because I was afraid of this broken feeling, the friendship between me and Amu Sangsang was completely broken, and the love between Brother Zhengchuan and Amu also began to break.

I can't bear it, I can't bear to hear a pair of lovers who love each other so much, and I began to have to face each other with swords, and the result is that Brother Zhengchuan was almost killed by Amu, and I am even more ashamed of Brother Zhengchuan, I believe that if it weren't for me, Amu is a demon or a human, Brother Zhengchuan wouldn't care.

He seems to be mild, and he has a stubborn heart, I know.

But because it was me, he had to give up, and even opposed the woman he loved, how dare I listen to that part when they turn against him? I also thoroughly understand that after many years, why did Brother Zhengchuan become decadent like that? Even run away when they see me! even ignored Zhuang Jing's concern so much.

Even so, he pretended to be strong for me, but what kind of pain and suffering he had been in his heart all these years is probably only known to him.

Next, I got drunk, but Brother Masakawa didn't drink much and kept a relatively sober state.

Before, there was a trace of rainbow sunset on the horizon, by the time I was drunk, the sunset was about to disperse, the most brilliant color was covered by layers of dark blue, the sky was about to darken, a round of not very bright crescent moon appeared in the distance, two or three stars were far away, and the last sunset reflected each other, the last bit of romance before night, a little gorgeous.

"Third child, I'll leave now. In the past two years, I have selected ten very talented successors for my master. They have a certain foundation, and I have chosen to open up the classics of the master to them if I can open them up. If they bluntly say that they have mastered my formation of opening up the classics, it will not be a problem for you to take the school examination, and I have done my best to lay the foundation for them in the past two years. "Brother Zhengchuan explained to me.

I lay on the ground dimly, listening to Brother Zhengchuan's explanation to me, which may be the last explanation.

Even though I didn't want to, I pushed the wine out to sober myself up. This is the first time I have done this, because in my opinion, why drink alcohol if you are never drunk and cannot experience its most moving aspects? Is it delicious?

"You're just gone? Didn't you say that you want to revitalize Mingyangmen? In the way of the formation, you have talent, but I don't have any talent, how do you want me to support Mingyangmen alone? I stood up and asked Brother Masakawa. Actually, my heart is also very conflicted, I have no reason to stop Brother Masakawa from leaving, and I don't understand that I want him to stay here and continue to suffer. Then wait for the day when I meet Amu Daobing.

Because Amu said that Brother Zhengchuan's life changed her life for five years to avoid me and not seek revenge on me, and it has been three years.

She didn't really take Brother Zhengchuan's life, but she really avoided me.

However, even so, I am still reluctant to let Brother Zhengchuan leave, and I still hope that the hard work left by the master, Brother Zhengchuan can turn the tide and carry it, I only have such a weak reason.

Seeing that I was sober, Brother Zhengchuan just smiled, and then entered the back room from the lobby, compared to many years ago, this back room has been much more lively, after all, ten extremely talented disciples were accepted in one go, and Mingyangmen was lively. In the past, Mingyangmen was short of money and materials, and there were many treasures left by the ancestors, but they were all resources that could not be easily moved.

Now that there is the help of the Huo Nie family, who has been operating in wealth and connections for thousands of years, it is naturally much more generous, plus the Snow Mountain Pulse has also begun to help the revitalization of Mingyangmen, and there are more and more righteous sects that have intersected with Mingyangmen and are also able to help me I believe that this is the so-called accumulation, but a genius disciple who Mingyangmen has been waiting for is about to leave like this.

Glancing at this place nostalgically, Brother Zhengchuan entered his room, and then picked up a package that had been prepared a long time ago, I finally couldn't help but have a sour nose when I looked at it, and what did I want to say? Brother Zhengchuan waved his hand at me and said, "Go out and talk." ”

I followed Brother Zhengchuan step by step, just like the days when I first arrived at Shanmen, I was not used to the environment and life here, and I could only follow behind the most warm and gentle brother, until he was leaving, the years seemed to be repeating.

"Don't be afraid that you won't be able to support it, because Aunt Chengzhen promised me that I would take time for about a month every year to preside over Mingyangmen. Although my Mingyangmen and her inheritance are different, I have to admit that Aunt Chengzhen is also a genius of the way of formation, I have made her an elder of Mingyangmen, and the inheritance of Mingyangmen will also be open to her in the future, you won't object to this, right? Walking through the familiar mountain gate compound, Brother Zhengchuan seemed to have opened the conversation box and began to explain everything to me.

It's okay for other things, I didn't expect that Aunt Chengzhen, who is a legendary old Li lineage, would agree to such a request, how can I refuse? After all, Lao Li's inheritance is very mysterious, and the formation is not much better than Mingyangmen.

"Did Aunt Chengzhen really agree?" My heart was slightly relieved, and I couldn't help but ask again.

"It's true, she said that she can't bear to let the Mingyangmen formation really decline, and in the end it will lose its inheritance. Obviously, you are not enough to take on this heavy responsibility, and she is naturally obliged. Brother Zhengchuan smiled, this is a real smile.

I am both happy and sad, happy that the master finally does not have to worry about the inheritance of the mountain gate will be broken, and sad that the departure of Brother Zhengchuan is really unchangeable, and he has already made such sufficient preparations for this.

By this time, we had walked down the long stairs and passed through the mountain gate where there were still huge paw prints, and came to the entrance of the mountain gate.

Many years ago, I was here, saying my final goodbye to Master, I remember the rain that day, I remember that day was also a brilliant sunset in the distance, this bleak state of mind I thought would never happen again, but now I didn't expect that the same state of mind appeared in my heart again, or the same place.

The difference is that it was me who left last time, and it was Brother Zhengchuan who left this time.

Of the three people who used to stay, it turned out to be me who remained at the mountain gate in the end.

Brother Zhengchuan stopped, turned to look at me, the night breeze slightly blew our clothes, Brother Zhengchuan's eyes finally reddened, looked at the mountain gate and said: "This farewell, I don't know if there is still a chance in this life, go back to the mountain gate?" ”

"Brother Zhengchuan, if you don't leave, I'll go to see Amu in person and resolve these grudges, okay? You can," I said impulsively.

Brother Zhengchuan just looked at me with a smile and said nothing, and I couldn't say it anymore, if these grudges can really be resolved, what is the purpose of Amu and Sangsang's thousand-year-old persistence?

"I have two regrets in my life. First, I can't revive the mountain gate by myself, which is still a big wish I made since I was a child. Second, I can't personally complete the formation patterns on my favorite little junior brother. If God really cares for me, I hope I can have a chance to accomplish these two things. Brother Zhengchuan's gaze fell on the mountain gate again, and he muttered to himself.

I looked at Brother Zhengchuan's side face, and I had a thousand words in my heart at this time, but I didn't know what to say at such a time?

"I'm leaving, third."

"Brother Zhengchuan, if you stay" I stepped forward and stopped Brother Zhengchuan.

"I'm the only one who can balance between you and Amu, and my heart's wishes matter. You and Amu are more important. I have to give up myself, you know? This is the last place I can protect you as a senior brother, because I know that you can't bear to do anything to Amu. This is also the last time I am selfish as myself, staying by Amu's side, even if my heart is full of pain and regret, I am willing. ”

"Little junior brother, farewell!"
