"Do you remember Xiaohui?" Long Xiaoman asked me.

I nodded, "Remember, how can you not remember, I was almost killed by him at the beginning." ”

When I was in Xiaoxiangling, Liangshan, Sichuan, we almost fell in love with Xiaohui's way, and that time was also my real understanding of the occult world.

"And what do you remember his full name?" Long Xiaoman continued to ask.

"Hua Chenhui, a son of the Hua family, what's the matter, does he have anything to do with Ying?"

I don't know why Long Xiaoman suddenly mentioned Xiaohui, could it be that there is some connection between this mysterious shadow and Xiaohui?

Speaking of Xiaohui, I actually feel a little sour in my heart, although he almost killed us, but I am more sympathetic to him and understand what he has done.

The Hua family was one of the four major occult families back then, and Xiaohui should have had a rich and glorious life like Brother Headphones and Long Xiaoman. But unfortunately, his family was wiped out, and it was Long Zhiyuan, who raised him, who did all this.

Doing things under the hands of the enemy every day, you have to force your face to laugh, this torment and suffering, I feel sad to think about, if it were me, I would do the same as Xiaohui.

Long Xiaoman looked at me and said, "That's right, Ying not only has a relationship with Xiaohui, but also has an ordinary relationship. ”

"What's the matter?" I asked, confused.

Long Xiaoman's next sentence almost shocked my jaw to the ground.

"Ying is Xiaohui's own sister, and her full name is Hua Chongying."

"What!"

I felt incredulous, "This can't be a mistake, the Hua family has long been wiped out, and Long Zhiyuan is the eighth king...... Oh, I was killed by Long Zhiyuan's design, didn't you say that Xiaohui was the only one left in the Hua family at that time, why did a sister pop up at this time? ”

"I was skeptical at first!"

Long Xiaoman raised his chin, looked at the ceiling and said, "But everything Ying said is exactly the same as what happened back then, and some of the details that we don't know are also clear, and the most important thing is that she has a special inheritance of the Hua family, if it weren't for the bloodline of the Hua family, that kind of inheritance would not be able to be cultivated by others at all." ”

Seeing that I still didn't understand a little, Long Xiaoman continued, "Each family has its own special inheritance, for example, my brother and I, we have some mystic techniques that others can't cultivate, and only with the bloodline of the Long family can we cultivate." ”

"For example, you can think of inheritance as genes, each with its own unique characteristics, which cannot be imitated or replicated. Among them, the most obvious is the Xuanxin Technique of the Northern Tang Sect, except for those who have the blood of the Northern Xuanmen in their bodies, outsiders cannot cultivate the Xuanxin Technique. ”

Hearing Long Xiaoman say this, I finally understood, but at the same time, I had a new question, "If Ying Zhen is Xiaohui's own sister and has also witnessed the murder of her family, she must also know how Xiaohui died." ”

"It stands to reason that she should hate us, at least you and Long Chuan, how could she choose to cooperate with us to deal with Amu, and with such a deep hatred in the sea of blood, how could she so easily reveal her secret identity to us as murderers, aren't you afraid that we will cut down the grass and eradicate the roots?"

Long Xiaoman looked at me and said, "Ying is not a fool, although she hates my father and the entire Long family, she has been waiting for an opportunity to take revenge before, but she has not had a chance until my father was killed and the Long family was usurped by Amu, she found out a truth." ”

"What truth?" I asked.

Long Xiaoman continued, "It was indeed the Long family who designed to frame the Hua family back then, but it was Amu who was the mastermind behind the scenes. ”

"When my father knew, this conspiracy had already begun, but my father was in his favor because of this conspiracy, so he pushed the boat and adopted Amu's poisonous plan, using the excuse of exterminating the black occult forces, so that the Hua family was wiped out."

"At that time, the Hua family was not completely destroyed, and there were still a small number of family children, my father didn't want to kill them all, because they were all the four major occult families created by the ancestor Liu Bowen himself, and it was against the will of heaven to do so."

"But Amu is good at advocating, and leading people to kill the remaining part of the Hua family cleanly, and when my father found out, he only thought that it was Amu's loyalty to him, so he had to give up. If it weren't for Xiaohui's young age, and my father's desperate desire to leave a bloodline for the Hua family, I'm afraid there would be no future Xiaohui. ”

"What's the matter with the shadow? Why she wasn't killed in the first place, no one even knew about her existence. I asked, confused.

Long Xiaoman said, "It's an accident that Shadow was spared in that catastrophe, and her Ice Bow appeared with the main body when she was born. Her father saw that she was a daughter with her own remote mystery, and he was immediately overjoyed, you know, the rarity of remote mystical weapons is no less than your Netherworld Halberd, and it is estimated that there are no more than ten people in this world who have remote mystical weapons. ”

"Her father wanted to train this precious daughter to be the killer of the family, so he hid her identity and claimed that there was only one son, so except for a few people in their interior, outsiders didn't know that she had a daughter, so when the Hua family was wiped out, Ying was lucky to survive."

Then, Long Xiaoman told me a lot of stories that happened to Ying, and after I listened to them, I felt quite uncomfortable.

When the Hua family was wiped out, Ying was only a little girl of five or six years old, and she was hidden in a cabinet by several loyal family members, and through the cracks in the cabinet, she saw her own people die tragically under the butcher's knife one by one.

I can't imagine how she survived.

All the people died, except for a little girl who was five or six years old, how did she survive?

Walking the streets, unkempt, grabbing food with wild dogs in the garbage heaps, and spending lonely and cold nights on the icy streets.

The seeds of hatred took root in her young heart, and it was also the motivation that sustained her life.

I asked, "Where did she come from?" ”

Although Shadow was born with a rare long-range mystical weapon, it was impossible to cultivate the occult arts without guidance without a teacher.

Long Xiaoman sighed and said slowly, "She didn't say this, and I didn't ask, everyone belongs to a secret that they don't want to mention." ”

I nodded, took a deep breath, calmed my emotions a little before slowly saying, "Be kind to her in the future, if she doesn't dislike it, Tianxuan Sect will be her home." ”

I was going to ask what was wrong with Ei's gray hair, but I suddenly felt that I didn't need to, because I already knew the answer.

How can a person who suffers a great deal of suffering, both internally and externally, not have gray hair?

After getting along for a period of time, I found that Ying is actually just cold on the surface, but she is a kind girl on the inside, and she also gets along well with Zhang Ya and the others, and sometimes when the little mute cooks herself, she will take the initiative to help.

However, she may be because of her growth, she always has a cold face every day, and she is unwilling to take the initiative to talk to people, and her favorite thing to do is to stay alone in the back garden and look up at the sky in a silent daze, sometimes sitting all night, which makes people feel distressed.

One night, I found her sitting alone in the back garden in a daze, so I went upstairs to say hello to Long Xiaoman, took a coat and walked towards her.

"Shadow, you don't sleep so late."

I pretended to put my coat on her easily, she resisted, I smiled at her, "It's okay, Xiaoman asked me to bring you a coat, she said it's cold outside, don't freeze." ”

In the face of such a silent person as Shadow, I really didn't know what to say for a while, and suddenly said with some embarrassment, "Thanks to you last time, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to complete the task of killing Xiaoyaogong......"

"I don't like nonsense, whatever orders you have, if there is anything you need me to do, just say it."

Ei's tone was cold, "Last time I wasn't helping you, but helping myself. ”

I felt very embarrassed with my hot face on my cold ass, but I didn't get angry at all, sat down next to her, and smiled at her, "What is our relationship?" ”

"Partnership." Ei's answer was concise and to the point.

"Isn't that right?"

I smiled, "Since it's a partnership, how can we talk about orders, in fact, I don't have anything to do with you today, I just want to chat with you......"

"I'm sorry, I don't like small talk, if it's okay, please don't bother me."

Once again, Shadow rebuffed me in a cold tone.

I had expected her to do this, so I prepared in advance and said, "Okay, let's get down to business, Amu is our common enemy, but in its current form, you also know that it won't take a day or two to defeat the Shenmu Society." Killing a carefree boy is nothing to the Shenmu Society. ”

Ying Bing said coldly, "I know all this, what you want to express, you can say it simply. ”

I felt very familiar when I heard this, because when I first met Long Xiaoman before, Long Xiaoman's tone and attitude when he spoke to me at that time were the same as now.

I continued, "What I want to say is that our cooperation will not be a day or two, it may be a few years or decades, as a partner, I think you need to face us in a different way, everyone looks up and does not look down, and we can't always think about revenge every day together, after all, we still have to live, and life, we have to be happy, right?" ”

Ying seemed to be stunned for a moment, and after a while, his tone finally softened a little, but the words he said were still rejecting thousands of miles away, "Happiness is far away from me, my life is revenge!" ”

After finishing speaking, he suddenly turned his head to look at me and said, "If you can't get used to seeing me like this, I will move out tomorrow, and in the future, except for revenge, there is no need for us to have too much boring contact." ”

With that, she took off her coat and handed it back to me, then got up and left without looking back.

"Hey...... That's not what I meant......"

Shadow's move was unexpected and embarrassed me, just as I was about to chase over and explain, Hou Xiaofei suddenly came out of nowhere, a pair of eyes bulging round, staring at me word by word, "I want to fight with you!" ”
