Qingning
A spring afternoon.
Warm and windless.
Under the blue sky and white clouds, the green grass is verdant, and there are two wooden houses built in front of a bend of the blue water.
A big-bellied woman wearing a white linen dress and a white Luo skirt, with fair skin and jet-black hair loosely tied behind her head, was lazily basking in the sun on a wooden bench outside the wooden house.
Secluded in this paradise, she would do every afternoon, her husband was fishing on the bent blue water, and she only had to look up slightly to see the handsome green shirt back.
The woman in white had a happy smile on her face, her hands gently caressing her bulging belly, she liked the hut behind her, and she liked to watch her husband fish.
If she could, she would love to live here for the rest of her life.
She can even imagine a family of three living happily ever after.
A breeze flickered, and the woman in white subconsciously stood up, with a look of vigilance on her face.
Listening closely, the sound of hurried and messy horses' hooves came from far and near.
On the bend of the blue water, the man in the green shirt was like a big bird, and several ups and downs had already reached the woman.
The man is handsome, with silkworm eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, and a wooden hairpin in his hair on the top of his head.
"They're coming!, you go first, I'll stop them. The man pulled out a sharp sword hanging from his waist, looked at the woman in white affectionately, and threw himself in the direction of the path.
The man in the green shirt knew who was coming, his wife was pregnant and about to give birth, and he couldn't let her take any risks.
"Benjie, I'll be waiting for you in the old place, don't fight. The woman in white didn't drag the mud, bit her red lip and turned to run in the opposite direction of her husband.
Passing through the grass behind the hut, there is a dense jungle less than a dozen miles away. The jungle leads to the top of the mountain, and somewhere on the top of the mountain there is a gate, and after that, there is another world, and those who come to hunt down and kill their husband and wife have nothing to do with them.
The woman in white was originally a master of martial arts, and although she was pregnant, the speed of her rapid journey was still like a lightning flash. Although she was reluctant to give up on her husband, she did not look back, because she knew that he was buying time for her and the child in her womb, and only if she escaped, her husband could return.
In the distance, on the path leading to the wooden house, a group of horses marched rapidly, with broadswords hanging from their waists and wearing black armor, and a team of fifty men in black was stopped by the men in green shirts.
"Jin Benjie, don't come to harm!" rode out of the group of men in black, a thin man with a goatee floating under his mouth, he was the only one in the team who was not dressed in black, a fur coat with navy blue breeches underneath.
"It's you! You betrayed, have you forgotten the oath you once made?" The man in the green shirt recognized that he was of the same clan as him, and there was a traitor in the clan, and the man in the green shirt was at the bottom of the valley, and an irrepressible anger appeared in his eyes.
"Don't talk nonsense, where is that girl? As long as you are willing to hand her over, I will let these adults raise their noble hands and let you live, you and I are still brothers, if not......"
"Die!"
Before the thin man could finish speaking, the sword in the hand of the man in the green shirt had already been sent towards the head of the other person with great speed.
"Ahh
After a miserable scream, the thin man's head fell to the ground, leaving only his body still sitting on the horse's back, and the column of blood at the neck spurted out of Lao Gao.
"Kill him!" a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows in the black-clad team gave an order in a deep voice, with an expressionless face.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves, swords, neighing, and screaming sounded harshly.
One man blocked fifty horsemen.
Ten minutes later, less than half of the fifty men in black were still sitting on their horses. The man in the green shirt was also like a bloody man, he died under the chaotic sword, his body died without falling, and where the phoenix eyes stared, it was the direction in which his wife fled.
In the morning, he and his wife discussed adding another cabin, and the baby crowning was only a little close. Unfortunately, he never saw them again.
"Chief, the woman ran away. After the battle, a man in black who had returned from riding a horse from the wooden house reported to the middle-aged man with thick eyebrows who was sitting on his horse with cold eyes and had never made a move.
She walked and couldn't run far. The middle-aged man turned his horse's head and galloped away with the team in the direction of the woman in white.
The edge of the jungle.
The woman in white stood on a boulder, looking at the group of black knights' horses, and she knew that her husband should have been more than lucky. After two lines of clear tears slipped down her eyes, the woman in white did not go into the jungle, but lifted her long skirt, tore off the hem of it, and then walked towards the black knight.
The woman in white wielded a sword, her sword was peculiar, usually like an inconspicuous old bracer around her right wrist, and when she used the sword, it only took one thought, and the bracer would bounce away and stretch into a palm-wide sword. The sword is two and a half feet long, painted with black patterns like branches and leaves, and the hilt of the sword is carved with three identical-looking small figures with wings and dragon tails holding javelins, and the villains are lifelike, like fallen angels.
Under the bright sun, the sword in the hand of the woman in white flashed with a strange and cold beautiful light,
She wants to kill!
She's going to kill!
Only by killing people can she resolve the heartfelt grief of the sudden loss of her husband at this moment.
She loved the man.
He was her only reliance in the world.
He has not yet seen their child born.
He said he would take care of her and the child for the rest of his life.
All the good things in the cabin have been shattered by these guys in front of them!
Why? Why wouldn't they let her go!
Why did they come here when she was hiding so far away......
"Die!"
The woman in white said the same thing as her husband when he killed a thin man.
rushed into the black cavalry, raised the sword in his hand, although the labor was imminent, the speed of the woman in white was extremely fast, and the sword move was strange and powerful, just a face, and four of the black knights fell off their horses.
The wind rose and chaos arose.
The woman in white had blood-red eyes, and she was like a fierce beast in the team of the men in black, and it seemed that there was only a blink of an eye, and there was not much left of the men in black. The sharp sword in her hand is not stained when it encounters blood, it is tough and sharp and unmatched, and the broadsword in the hand of the man in black is simply vulnerable in front of it. When the sword in her hand cut off the head of the middle-aged man with thick eyebrows who was staring in horror and full of disbelief, the woman in white looked up to the sky and howled in pain: "Benjie!!"
Tears covered his blood-red eyes, and the sky was no longer blue.
Countless mountain birds flew over the jungle to the top of the mountain in the distance.
Her husband's figure seemed to smile back at her......
When Benjie's voice stopped in the depths of the jungle, the woman in white spat out a mouthful of blood.
The loss of a loved one is better than a fight for your life.
"Come out, all of you!"
The woman in white suddenly turned around, her eyes looked fiercely at the few big trees at the edge of the jungle, and the tears in her eyes were still flowing.
Behind the tree, an old man dressed as a Taoist priest walked out, the old man was holding a dust, with a sword hanging from his waist, followed by five young and strong men with swords and arrows and crossbows, dressed as hunters.
"Haha, haha......" The woman in white suddenly laughed loudly, turned around, pointed her sword at those people, and said in a deep voice: "Sure enough, it was you who betrayed Benjie and me." ”
This dusty old man, the woman in white knows, is an elder in his husband's clan, and his martial arts are unfathomable. The five men who followed him were also members of their own clan.
The old man stepped forward, his face was cold, and he said loudly: "I betrayed you, because I can't let you go back to the village anymore, and you have brought too many disasters to the clansmen." Jin Benjie is dead, what else do you need to explain? You are pregnant with a doll, and I don't want to do it myself, so you can cut yourself off. ”
"What about Binglin, did you kill him?"
In the middle of this jungle, there is a young man named Bing Lin who is hidden in the shadows and is responsible for the contact with the woman in white and her husband and wife.
"Yes. The old man gave the woman in white a simple answer.
"Good. None of you want to leave alive today. As the woman in white spoke, her blood-red and tearful eyes swept over the faces of those people, and she had never felt a sense of hatred in her heart!
The saddest thing in the world is to be betrayed by the relatives and friends who you once trusted the most.
"It's up to you!" the old man snorted coldly, and before he could speak, the five men behind him were already nervously firing their bows and arrows. They knew that the sword in the white-clothed woman's hand was powerful, and they did not intend to fight her in close combat. The old man was the one who was qualified to fight him in close combat.
The woman in white was silent again, and suddenly took two steps into the air, a volley flying swallow, and when her arms were extended, the sword in her hand sent out a deadly sword and swept towards the opposite side. Her eyes were resolute, and she had already made a decision in her heart to fight these people endlessly.
In the evening.
Sunset over the top of the mountain.
The dusty old man at the edge of the jungle and the corpses of the five men mingled between the corpses of the men in black, leading a flock of ravens to hover in the air.
In the jungle, a tired woman covered in blood and dirty struggled to move forward.
The battle with the old man in the dust made her feel angry, her body was full of sword wounds and knife wounds, and there were two crossbow-arrows stuck in her left shoulder, she knew that death was already eyeing her, she could die, she was not afraid of death, but the child in her womb was the hope of her and her husband, and the hope of the world, she had to give birth to him.
It was getting dark, and the mountain cats and beasts in the jungle began to travel.
Next to a big tree, the woman could no longer bear the heart-wrenching pain from her abdomen and sat down.
Mountain tops in the distance.
Several people dressed as villagers gathered around an old man in a green shirt with a thin body, white beard and white hair, and an anxious face.
"Did you find it?" the old man in the green shirt asked, looking at a few people.
"Not yet. One of them replied.
"Look for it again. ”
"Yes. Several figures disappeared in response.
Oh!
A high-pitched wolf howl suddenly sounded from the depths of the jungle.
When the eyes of the old man in the green shirt suddenly widened, a baby's cry resounded in the sky above the jungle.
The figure of the old man in the green shirt disappeared in an instant.
A few breaths later. The old man in the green shirt appeared next to the woman in white who was already dying.
"Master, you're here, just in time. I named my son Eternal Life......" The woman in white was holding a baby boy in her arms, with a large blood stain under her, and when she saw the master, she was unable to get up.
Don't talk about it yet, let the teacher help you heal first. The old man took off his green shirt and covered the woman, and then took her pulse and charged her strength.
"No need, Master. Benjie is dead, and it's boring for me to live...... Bury me and Benjie together, right by the bend of the water, Benjie likes it, and I like it. Eternal life, eternal life is in your hands, Master...... The Jin family has internal ghosts, you have to be careful. The woman's breath was dying, her face was pale, and she lowered her eyes to look at her son, who was no longer crying, and her face showed reluctance.
She really wanted to raise him, she wanted to see him grow up to be a brave man who stood up to the sky, she wanted to go back to that world with him, she wanted to hear him call her mother, and she wanted that man to be alive......
In the end, she did not escape this tragic fate, and finally let her son face this sinister world alone, and the woman cried sadly.
"In the name of heaven, grant my wish, and bless eternal life with my death. The woman resolutely muttered a vow, and lifted her son's small body with the last bit of strength, "You are a guardian angel, the most loyal fighter in this world, you have to swear for a lifetime, protect the safety of the eternal world, be loyal and stick to your beliefs all your life, and drive away evil all your life......" The woman's voice became smaller and smaller, and the sword in her hand suddenly flowed like a dissolved mercury to the baby's right wrist.
After a dazzling flash, the baby had an extra bracer on her wrist, and the woman closed her eyes.
“!...... It's all bad for the teacher, the silver dragon is incompetent, and he can't protect the safety of your mother and son!"
