"That day, I was led by Scarmian to enter the ancient, gloomy lonely fortress, which looked very old from the outside. But when you go inside, it's not. ”

A trace of remembrance flashed in Sheng Mao's eyes, and there was even a touch of pain.

Xie Chengjiang shouted: "Hurry up, grinding, I don't remember teaching you this." ”

Sheng Mao looked at the bamboo cane in his hand with a smile, swallowed his saliva, and continued: "After entering the lonely castle, there is no desolate and uninhabited inside as imagined, but it is cleaned cleanly, there is no dust at all, and the stove is even more fire, steaming, obviously inhabited. ”

She cried out to her mother with great excitement, and I realized then that it was her mother's home, but I still felt strange. How could anyone choose to settle in a place where there was no one in a cold and snowy place, where there was not a single family in a thousand miles, and how did she live alone in that kind of place, and why did she get sent to the south?"

Sheng Mao said, sighing suddenly: "Although I was very confused at the time, I didn't study it in detail when I saw the happy look of cutting water. And at the end of her cry came a woman, dressed in white, with her hair scattered, and looking to be twenty or thirty years old, perhaps because she lived alone, and her face was not powdered, but she did not lose her charm in the slightest. ”

Speaking of this, his face couldn't help but blush, and then said: "She doesn't look like her mother who cuts water at all, but like her sister." After seeing her, Jianshui pounced on her and hugged her tightly, tears kept flowing, looking happy and sentimental, which made people feel distressed. ”

But the woman's face was different, she first pointed at me and didn't know what to say, and then pulled the shears into the distance, as if to reprimand, the shears lowered their heads at the time, very aggrieved.

I thought there was some misunderstanding between their mother and daughter, so I went to see it, but as soon as they saw me going, they stopped talking, and then they suddenly reconciled, chatting like ordinary mother and daughter, and I thought it was just a little contradiction, and I didn't care. ”

Xie Chengjiang listened quietly, he knew that the climax was coming.

"That night, my mother came to me out of the blue, didn't say a word, just looked me up and down, and then left suddenly. I felt a little strange, so I went to look for the cut water, and I didn't find it for a long time, and then I finally saw her in a hall, but her face was a little strange, and she didn't pestered me directly as usual, and I thought it was because she was reunited with her mother, and her mood fluctuated. ”

Then they cooked dinner and told me to eat, and when I had finished eating, I went to a room and wanted to rest. Unexpectedly, a feeling of fainting came to his heart......" Speaking of this, Sheng Mao's face could not hide his grief.

"It was that meal, they drugged it, a very special drug, even if I practiced the Ji Huang Bazi Formula, it was difficult to resist that kind of medicine, and I fainted all of a sudden. ”

"However, Emperor Ji's eight-character recipe is still very powerful in the end, and the exercises you taught before are also not weak, with these, I kept a trace of clarity in the fainting, and vaguely saw Jian Shui and her mother came to me, took away Emperor Ji's double sword, and then left at the same time without knowing what to say. ”

"When I woke up again, I found no one in the fort. ”

Sheng Mao was in pain: "It turns out that their purpose is the Ji Huang Twin Swords in my hand, but why don't they tell me directly, as long as they speak, will I refuse......?

"Ahem, so that's the case, isn't it just betrayal, what a big deal. Xie Chengjiang coughed lightly, "In life, you always have to face layers of deception, everyone is covering up their true selves, being deceived and betrayed is not a big deal, just get used to it." ”

"Teacher......" Sheng Mao looked at him with wide eyes.

Xie Chengjiang said coldly: "What do you see, your psychological quality is so poor, and you are so lacking in heart, how did I be blind to accept you in the first place!"

"The disciple was wrong. Sheng Mao lowered his head in frustration.

Xie Chengjiang snorted: "Dejected, what are you talking about? Hurry up and cheer me up, otherwise don't say that you know me in the future, I can't afford to lose this person." ”

Sheng Mao hurriedly cheered up and asked, "Teacher, why did you come here, and why are you like this?"

Xie Chengjiang said: "I am a doppelganger of your real teacher, the ontology he found out that something happened to you here, so he sent me to take a look, I didn't expect it to be like this, you are really stupid to the house, I am so disappointed, I want to tell the ontology, expel you from the teacher, no, clean up the portal!"

Sheng Mao was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Teacher, give me another chance, I will definitely not be deceived in the future." ”

"Haven't you realized your own problem yet?" Xie Chengjiang drank coldly, "If you are not a lady and steal the Ji Huang Twin Swords, this can only mean that you have a problem with your ability and are not shrewd enough." But getting depressed afterwards and looking like you have been greatly wronged is your biggest mistake. ”

"People will always stumble, and the body has gone through hardships to get to where he is today, although he is not the same now. True strength grows from blows and pain, just as ore needs to be burned by fire and tempered to become hard steel. ”

"The strong will only be stronger in the face of adversity, while the weak will be weak, do you think you have chosen to be strong or weak?"

Xie Chengjiang looked at Sheng Mao coldly, and the latter lowered him.

After a long time, he raised his head and said firmly: "Teacher, I know where I went wrong, I shouldn't just be sad and wronged afterwards, but should start to solve this matter at that time." ”

"Tribulations are inflicted on us externally, but grief and sentimentality are our own punishment and weakness. When you no longer feel pain in the face of any calamity one day, then you are truly strong. ”

Xie Chengjiang looked at the sky, and his eyes suddenly had some vicissitudes.

"But if one day, we don't even have pain, then are we really still a living person?" Sheng Mao stared at him, and a sense of melancholy suddenly appeared in his heart.

He finally understood the realm of his teacher.

It was an inhuman level, no longer sorrowful, no pain was empty to him, and likewise there would be no joy to speak of, because his heart was eternal and immovable, and could not have the slightest wave.

Such a person may be the most powerful, but he is not a human being.

Instead, they should be called gods, demons, immortals, Buddhas, and saints.

After a long time, Xie Chengjiang suddenly said, "Take me to that lonely castle to have a look." ”

Mormoe nodded.

After a few hours, a dark lonely castle appeared in front of them, standing tall in the wind and snow.

Looking at it, Xie Chengjiang's expression moved: "Here, there is a demonic spirit!"

......

Sunset.

On the path covered with yellow sand, Gongsun Xu hugged Shen Tingxu in his arms, walking lonely and lonely.

Just walking, walking......

His eyes lost their former brilliance, there was only a dead silence, looking at the person in his arms, there was only one thought.

"Tingxu, my brother, I will definitely wake you up, definitely!"

The road ahead is long and difficult. And if you lose your goal, you will never reach the end.

Under the twilight, the hazy daylight held the last afterglow, reflecting the lonely walker, making his figure more and more slender.

When night fell, the whole earth seemed to be suffocated, the wind seemed to have stopped howling, the vegetation on the roadside lost its color, and the stream of the river became a pool of stagnant water...... The whole world seems to have lost its soul.

Gongsun Xu looked at the stars in the sky, only to feel that they were all dim.

The world is plunged into eternal darkness, where is the dawn of hope?

What to do?

The only way to keep going!

Otherwise, there is really no hope.

"Do you want to wake him up?" a dark figure suddenly appeared in front of him, telling a seemingly insignificant thing in cold words.

This voice was like thunder in Gongsun Xu's mind, he quickly raised his head, stared at the figure whose face he couldn't see clearly, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Can you save him?"

"I can't, but you can. The figure replied, "In this world, you are the only one who can save him." ”

Gongsun Xu looked at him with a frown: "What do you mean, if I can save him, I don't need to ask you." ”

The figure replied, "Because if you want to save him, you must dispel the blood in his soul, and there is only one thing in this world that can do it except the blood dragon." ”

"What is it?" Gongsun Xu's eyes were like nails at the moment, staring at the mysterious figure in front of him.

He knew that this person had absolutely no other purpose, but he didn't care, he was willing to do anything and pay any price for the sake of his unconscious brother in his arms.

"Tian Yuan Divine Sheath!" replied the figure indifferently.

Gongsun Xu's expression changed: "Why is this, who are you, and what is your purpose?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, but believe me, if you want to, you have only this one choice, whether you believe it or not, you have no choice. ”

"Hmph, I have another choice!" Gongsun Xu suddenly put down Shen Tingxu, drew his sword and rose, the blazing Jiuyang sword light pierced the night, stabbing the figure in front of him.

"My sword will reveal your true colors, how can it be so simple to calculate and use me!"

The sword aura swept through the wilderness, and the blazing and brilliant Nine Rays of Light carried anger and coldness, bombarding the mysterious figure in front of him with unknown origin and face.

"Haha, you are worthy of being the prestigious Northern Sword Master, even if your mood is chaotic at the moment, you still have some sense, but it's a pity that this seat is an existence you can imagine!"

"Thy sword is before my seat...... Not worth mentioning!"

A pair of thin palms cut through the night, straight to the blade of the sword.
