Chapter 114: Revenge
Chapter 114: Revenge
Jiang Chen took the Red Star Bead from Chen Ying's hand, looked at it carefully for a while, and then handed the jewel to Aunt Li, and said: "I happen to recognize a few characters in the court, tonight I will write a letter overnight, tell the court the origin of Li Daoxia's protection of the Red Star Bead, hand over the Red Star Bead, and at the same time let the court issue an edict of rehabilitation, redress Li Daoxia's grievances, and give Li Daoxia and Aunt Li justice!"
Although Jiang Chen was only a Dao Master in a remote corner, as long as he personally wrote the letter, he would still give him two points of affection when he came to Ziqing Dao and others. Moreover, they can get the Red Star Bead effortlessly, and write an ordinary edict for this purpose, symbolically posthumously posthumously conferred some false names on Li Daoxia, and named Aunt Li as a third-grade lady and other false titles, this kind of request Daoting will definitely not refuse.
"By the way, remember to bring my jade hairpin back too!" Jun Zhu hurriedly said, she muttered again: "Those Dao court characters are not good things, let them get the Red Star Bead for nothing, it's really cheap for them!"
Aunt Li took the jewel, stroked it gently, and thought silently for a while, she wiped away her tears, shook her head, and said: "Don't hand it over to the imperial court! A few months ago, in order to intercede for Jiang Wu, you had to take Miss Junzhu's jade hairpin to bribe the court officials, which shows that those court officials you know are not a good thing! If it weren't for the fact that these big men only cared about fighting for power, they would not have let my husband die unjustly. This orb was protected by him with his life, and I can't let it fall into the wrong hands again. ”
Jiang Chen said: "However, if you don't hand over the Red Star Bead, I'm afraid the imperial court will not rehabilitate Li Daoxia!"
Aunt Li smiled bitterly: "Rehabilitation? In my heart, I never thought that he had really committed treason. Not only me, but also those who know him well will not believe it! The only people who doubt him are those strangers who are not familiar with him, so why should he care about such a person's opinion! Since he chose to use death to protect the orb, it shows that he does not care about his reputation. ”
"Now, a few of you have found out the truth of the year, and a few of you know his true good intentions, it is enough! If this matter is made public, what you will win back is only some false fame, but it will make the Qi people who are eyeing the Red Star Pearl target the jewel again, or let the jewel fall into the hands of the traitors in the court, if the jewel has a mistake, how can I be worthy of his hard work!"
"Then what to do with this red star bead?" Jiang Chen asked, "Why don't you just bury it in Li Daoxia's tomb and sleep with him for a long time." ”
Aunt Li shook her head again: "My husband protects the Red Star Pearl, but he doesn't want to keep it for himself! People have been dead for so many years, why let the Pearl be hidden." This orb is a Taoist weapon, you two are Taoist heroes, and this orb will be handed over to you brothers for safekeeping. ”
Aunt Li stuffed the orb back into Jiang Chen's hand: "Promise Auntie, you must protect this orb." No matter what the role of the orb is in the future, it can only be used to do chivalrous deeds, not to seek wealth and kill people! Auntie watched you two brothers grow up, compared to those big men in the court, your brothers' conduct, auntie believes in it more!"
"Auntie, don't worry!" Jiang Chen agreed: "We will definitely protect the Red Star Bead!" I am a Dao Master, as long as the Orb is in Yunlan Town, no one dares to move!"
Jiang Wu said: "Auntie has never told us about Li Daoxia, and today I only learned about Li Daoxia's chivalry! ”
"Okay!" Aunt Li nodded again and again: "Speaking of which, his death day is approaching, I'll take you to meet him." I've been the only one to worship him all these years, and he'll be happy if there are a few more of you. ”
......
On the second day, Aunt Li took Jiang Chen and others to the tomb mountain in the western suburbs of Yunlan Town to worship Li Daoxia. Aunt Li told her husband about the grievances, and couldn't help crying again.
When they returned from the service, they met a young woman on a fast horse, who was hurrying and haggard, and seemed to be hurrying on her way.
The suburban road is not wide, and the carriage where Jiang Chen and the others are sitting has occupied most of the road, and the woman is very anxious, so she shouts loudly: "Friends in front, please give way, the little woman is in a hurry!"
Jiang Wu parked the carriage as far as possible on the side of the road, leaving a path for the woman to ride through. The woman thanked her and galloped past.
"Looking at her expression, isn't there any trouble?" Jiang Chen said curiously.
"She's a Dao Hero!" Jiang Wu said, his kendo cultivation was even more proficient, and he could already sense the Dao Qi faintly emanating from other cultivators. Especially this female Taoist is extraordinary, and she did not deliberately hide her Taoist qi, so she was noticed by Jiang Wu at once.
"Daoxia?" Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, and then shouted to the woman: "Daoist, please stay!
The woman was stunned for a moment, stopped her horse and turned around, she glanced at Jiang Chen and Jiang Wu brothers, and then shook her head: "I told you, it's useless!"
Jiang Chen was in a panic during this time, and when he heard that there was something wrong with this woman's words, he responded: "I can't hide it, Jiang Chen is the Taoist master of this Yunlan Town. All matters related to cultivators are decided by this Dao Master! Now that Daoist friends have entered Yunlan Town, this Dao Master has the right to intervene!"
"Are you the master of this land?" the woman was startled, she looked at Jiang Chen carefully, and was suspicious.
"Look!" Jiang Chen took out the Dao Master Order and waved his hand to the woman from a distance.
The woman rode a few steps and recognized the token.
"You are really the Dao Master!" the woman immediately dismounted and saluted, and said, "Little woman Lin Yuru, see Jiang Dao Master!
"Lin Daoyou don't have to be polite!" Jiang Chen put away the token and returned the salute: "Lin Daoyou is so flustered, I don't know why?"
Lin Yuru said: "The little woman was chased and killed, so she hurried and traveled to your land. ”
"Hunt down?" Jiang Chen hurriedly asked, "Is it a Taoist master or a Taoist disciple who is chasing you?"
"He is a Taoist disciple, and his strength is slightly higher than that of the little woman. Lin Yuru replied.
Hearing that he was a Taoist disciple, Jiang Chen's heart was relieved, and he smiled and said: "Lin Daoyou rest assured, in the territory of this Dao Master, other Dao Heroes will not dare to mess around! If he has bad intentions, this Dao Master will arrest him and ask him for guilt!"
Lin Yuru shook her head again and again, and she said: "Please don't embarrass him, Daoist Jiang! This is a private matter between me and him, in case I die in his hands, it is also due to creation, and I can't complain about him." The little woman has a reluctant request, if he intends to commit suicide after killing the little woman, he also asks Daoist Jiang to take action to stop him from committing suicide!"
The more Jiang Chen listened, the more confused he became, and asked, "What the hell is going on? How can the person who was being hunted down plead for the pursuer instead?"
"This is a long story!" Lin Yuru sighed lightly: "I'm afraid it's not finished yet, he has already chased and killed!"
Jiang Chen said: "Lin Daoyou and I will go to the Chenwu Dao Pavilion in Yunlan Town, since you have come to Yunlan Town, this matter will be settled by the Dao Master!"
"Thank you Daoist Jiang!" Lin Yuru agreed, rode out of the way, and then followed behind the carriage.
Among the two brothers Jiang Chen and Jiang Wu, Jiang Wu originally preferred to "meddle in things", but recently, Jiang Chenkong has the name of a Taoist master, but there has been no other Taoist in Yunlan Town, so he has no place for the Taoist master. It is rare to encounter a Taoist dispute today, and the other party has a request for himself, so Jiang Chen took the initiative to get involved.
After arriving at the Chenwu Dao Hall, Lin Yuru saw the grandeur of this Dao Hall and respected the young "Jiang Dao Master" a little more. She told her what was going on.
It turned out that the person who chased and killed her was called Xu Yuxian, and she was the same brother and sister, and the relationship was originally excellent. Later, her brother Xu Yuxian falls in love with a woman named Fluttershy, and she gradually neglects to practice.
Lin Yuru is jealous, has a discord with Fluttershy, and argues with Fluttershy while she is practicing, only to unexpectedly cause Fluttershy to go mad while she is practicing. Fluttershy was too sick to withstand the blow and vomited blood and died.
When Xu Yuxian learns of this, she is grief-stricken, but also furious, and vows to kill her sister Lin Yuru to avenge Fluttershy. However, at that time, his Taoism was not as good as that of his junior sister, and he couldn't take advantage of the fighting method, but was slightly injured. He hated it in his heart, and began to practice hard day and night, and a year later he found Lin Yuru again to take revenge, but he was still defeated by his junior sister.
In this way, the two brothers and sisters became enemies, and the two would go to the master's grave every year on the day of the master's death, and then they would have a big fight. But the senior brother has always been defeated by the younger sister, and this revenge has never been avenged.
This situation lasted for seven years, and finally in this year, the senior brother's Taoism surpassed that of the younger sister, and after the first battle, the junior sister Lin Yuru fled without defeat and fled here.
Lin Yuru said: "If Senior Brother kills me, I deserve it. However, he is afraid that after he takes revenge, he will die for Fluttershy once his wish is fulfilled. When the time comes, please ask Daoist Jiang to try to stop him!"
"After seven years, will he still be martyred?" Jun Zhu was startled.
Lin Yuru sighed: "You don't understand the temperament of the senior brother, he is a person with deep affection." When Fluttershy died, he was already martyred, and if he hadn't killed me to avenge it, he wouldn't have waited another seven years!"
Jiang Chen asked suspiciously: "Since you know that Senior Brother will seek revenge on Master's death day every year, why do you still go to worship Master, isn't this a chance to give him revenge? Why don't you hide and never see each other again?"
Lin Yuru just sighed and shook her head, but didn't explain anything.
Jiang Chen became more and more puzzled, Lin Yuru's statement had many contradictions, he knew that there must be another hidden secret, but Lin Yuru refused to say more.
Just as he was confused, there was a galloping sound of horses' hooves outside the yard, and then a young man shouted: "Lin Yuru, get out, I know your horse, don't hide!"
"Senior brother is here!" Lin Yuru's face changed slightly: "If you should come, you still have to come, if you can't hide, just face it!"
She held the Dao Sword and walked out of the Dao Hall, Jiang Chen and Jiang Wu also walked out, and Chen Ying was behind Jiang Chen to prevent someone from doing anything to Jiang Chen. Jun Zhu hid in the gym and looked curiously from the window.
In the courtyard stood a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen, holding a sword. Although his eyes were bloodshot and he looked tired, his facial features were handsome, and he could see that he was a beautiful man with a dignified appearance.
"Senior brother, you're here!" Lin Yuru said softly. This man is her senior brother Xu Yuxian.
"Shut up, you don't deserve to call me senior brother!" Xu Yuxian scolded angrily, and then arched his hand to Jiang Chen and the others and said: "Fellow Daoists, this is a personal vendetta under the order, please don't interfere with fellow Daoists!"
"Okay!" Jiang Chen nodded: "I won't interfere!
"Thank you!" Xu Yuxian thanked him, and immediately stabbed at Lin Yuru with his sword!
Lin Yuru raised her sword to meet the enemy. The sword path practiced by the senior brothers and sisters was exactly the same, and the fight was very fierce.
Fortunately, the courtyard of the Chenwu Daoist Hall is not small, and there are no idlers coming and going, and the two of them are fighting here, and there are not a few onlookers. Those ordinary mortals saw it from afar, thinking that it was a Taoist warrior who was trying to fight the method, and they didn't dare to get close to watch.
After fighting for a while, Lin Yuru gradually lost her strength and fell behind. However, she is very familiar with her senior brother's swordsmanship, so she can still resist it for a while.
But Xu Yuxian was unforgiving, his sword was fierce, and he finally succeeded in one move, and a sword cut through his junior sister's arm and knocked his Dao sword to the ground.
"Death!" Xu Yuxian shouted, preparing to take the enemy's life with a sword, Lin Yuru knew that he was invincible, sighed lightly, closed his eyes and waited for death.
"Wait!" Jiang Chen shouted, and at the same time, Jiang Wu also shot with a sword, his sword slashed, the momentum was stronger, it was better than Xu Yuxian, and Xu Yuxian was forced to retreat a few steps.
Jiang Chen secretly praised in his heart, Jiang Wu had only really started to practice kendo for a few months, and his attainments in swordsmanship had already surpassed that of Xu Yuxian's brothers and sisters who had been cultivating for several years. Their "master" was right, Jiang Wu was indeed a genius in cultivating swordsmanship.
Xu Yuxian frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Didn't you fellow Daoists say that you wouldn't interfere in this matter?"
Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "I really don't interfere in the next place, I just want to tell Xu Daoyou a story before Xu Daoyou makes an irreparable mistake!"
"What's wrong?" Xu Yuxian snorted coldly: "I killed her to avenge my dead wife, what's wrong!"
Jiang Chen said: "The hatred between the two of them is also known a little bit below. I would like to ask you, did Xu Daoyou see his sister kill Fluttershy?"
"No!" said Cinnaut, "When I met Fluttershy, she had gone mad and vomited blood. ”
"Then Xu Daoyou didn't see his sister forcing Fluttershy to go crazy, did he!" Jiang Chen continued to ask, "When Xu Daoyou saw Fluttershy's misfortune, was Lin Daoyou intending to destroy the corpse?"
"No!" Xu Yuxian shook her head and said, "She tried to wake up Fluttershy, but Fluttershy was already dead!"
Jiang Chen asked, "That's weird, how did Xu Daoyou conclude that it was Senior Sister who killed Miss Fluttershy?"
"She admitted it herself!" Xu Yuxian said: "Daoyou doesn't have to open up for her, she has already admitted this matter!
"That's good!" Lin Yuru nodded, "I killed Fluttershy on purpose!"
"Daoyou heard it too!" Xu Yuxian said angrily: "She admitted that she killed Fluttershy, I killed her to take revenge, this is a private matter, please don't obstruct it!"
Jiang Chen nodded: "Since it's a private matter, it's inconvenient to meddle in the future." However, if I want to tell a story in the next place, please Xu Daoyou After listening to the next story, it's not too late to do it!"
Xu Yuxian was quite jealous of Jiang Wu's swordsmanship, so he had no choice but to nod: "Daoist friends have something to say!"
Jiang Chen coughed lightly and said, "If you think about this matter carefully, there are really too many flaws! Just imagine, Miss Fluttershy went crazy and died, no one knows that this matter is related to Lin Daoyou, if Lin Daoyou doesn't admit it himself, who knows that she is the murderer?"
"In addition, Lin Daoyou obviously knows that you will seek revenge on her every year, but she goes to worship the master every year, which is like going to an appointment, it really doesn't make sense!"
"Also, Lin Daoyou won Xu Daoyou a few times before, but he always let Xu Daoyou go, and gave Xu Daoyou the opportunity to practice and surpass himself again and again, which is simply death! ”
And what surprised me the most was that from Lin Daoyou's previous commission, she was not afraid that she would be killed by Xu Daoyou, but that Xu Daoyou would kill herself for Fluttershy after revenge, which was even more unreasonable. ”
"It doesn't make sense, but when you put it together, it's another story -- the story that will be told next. ”
"The story takes place between a pair of brothers and sisters. The brothers and sisters have been cultivating together since childhood, and their relationship is very good. The senior brother is handsome and chic, and he attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and the younger sister has already secretly fallen in love. Unexpectedly, the senior brother fell in love with another woman. ”
"It's a pity that this woman has a thin face, is weak and sickly, and accidentally went mad during a cultivation, and died against her heart. The senior brother knew about this, and he was extremely sad, he was a person of great affection, and he was about to commit suicide on the spot. ”
In order to save her brother, the junior sister had no other way, and immediately admitted that she was the murderer of the senior brother's favorite. When the senior brother was furious, he naturally wanted to take revenge. However, the senior brother neglected to practice, and the Taoism was defeated by the junior sister, and he failed to take revenge. ”
Therefore, the senior brother did not commit suicide, but chose to survive and continue his cultivation, and he lived for revenge. One day every year, the senior brothers and sisters get together, the senior brother is for revenge, and the senior sister is to continue the fighting spirit of the senior brother for revenge and give him the goal of survival. ”
So, year after year, after the senior brother passed the penance, the gap between himself and the junior sister became smaller and smaller. Finally this year, his kendo surpassed his junior sister, and he can take revenge!"
The junior sister was worried that after he took revenge, he would lose the goal of surviving and would still be infatuated with martyrdom, so she had no choice but to ask for help from others. ”
Xu Daoyou, think about it carefully, is your junior sister your enemy or the benefactor who saved you? If your junior sister is at fault, it is because she is as affectionate as you. In order to save you, she would rather become your most hated enemy, would rather die under the sword of the person she loves the most, and would rather be misunderstood by you for a lifetime, but she would not explain half a sentence. ”
When Jiang Chen said this, Lin Yuru couldn't cry anymore, her mind seemed to be pierced by Jiang Chen, the secrets buried in her heart for many years, the bitterness and grievances that were misunderstood and hated by the person she loved the most, all broke out at this time.
When Xu Yuxian heard this, he was stunned, and he muttered, "Senior sister, what he said is true?"
Although Lin Yuru did not answer, from the tears she shed, Xu Yuxian already knew the answer.
Xu Yuxian shook his head, and for a moment he withdrew his sword from its scabbard and let out a long sigh, "I'm so stupid! It is meaningless to live in the past few years. Fluttershy, I'm here for you!"
After that, he actually pulled out the Dao Sword again, intending to kill himself with a horizontal sword!
"Senior brother!" Lin Yuru was shocked, but fortunately, Jiang Wu made a timely move, and shot down the Dao Sword in Xu Yuxian's hand with a sword.
Jiang Chen frowned and said: "Xu Daoyou died like this, but he is worthy of Lin Daoyou's hard work! People live not only for themselves, but also for the people around them." Your brothers and sisters are all infatuated people, if you commit suicide, Lin Daoyou will also commit suicide immediately! ”
"I once had a friend in the next place, she once said: the grace of a drop of water, the spring reciprocates, no matter how insignificant the kindness, you must do your best to repay. Don't say that ten will be one, at least one should be one. Lin Daoyou was burdened with huge grievances and let Xu Daoyou live for seven more years! Xu Daoyou couldn't repay his kindness and let his junior sister live for seven more years? If you don't kill herself, she won't die. (To be continued.) )
