Chapter 22: Confession
Ge, Yuan, Ye, and Cheng sat in the ancestral hall, and no one spoke, all of them were silent. The candlelight in the ancestral hall shimmered, and the faces of the four people reflected were slightly red.
After a while, Old Ghost Yuan tugged at the corners of his mouth, his face was full of sternness, and he asked Cheng Huishan: "Huishan, you were the first to rush back, but as soon as you came back, you hit and injured one of the ten Kou, how much force did you use?"
Cheng Huishan knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, and glanced around at the three Ge Yu who were also looking at him, their eyes were deep, like a thousand-year-old pool, and there was no wave, so he replied directly: "Senior, Sancheng"
Ge Yu and the three of them were all shocked when they heard this, and at the same time they were happy, Ge Yu chuckled: "Look away, there is a master in the village." β
Old Ghost Yuan still had a stern face, and asked in a deep voice: "No matter who you are, you are so good at a young age, you actually came to this poor and remote place in a small village, do you have a purpose!"
Cheng Huishan heard the chill in Yuan Lao's ghost words, and knew that it was impossible not to tell the truth, don't look at the three old men who are usually amiable, but they are old rivers and lakes, what is the matter hidden from them?
Old Ghost Yuan threw out another sentence, as if he had been preparing for a long time.
"Just for a girl?fart!When we don't know how colorful the outside world is, how many we are!And we have been guarding the village for most of our lives, how can you let us believe you?!"
Cheng Huishan is a young man, and he still has a little temper, so he is neither humble nor arrogant, and asks rhetorically: "Do you need to prove it?"
Old Ghost Yuan said: "Don't you need it?!"
Cheng Huishan seemed to be heartbroken, and still asked, "Do you need it?"
Old Man Ye, who had not spoken, finally spoke, but he still asked, "Don't you need it?"
"Hahaha...... Have you two made enough trouble! I believe in Huishan's character, I am not good, I am just old, and my intuition is very accurate!" Ge Yu, who had been watching their conversation, suddenly laughed and interrupted them.
Old Ghost Yuan looked at Ge Yu angrily like a child who had been exposed to a lie, glanced at Cheng Huishan again, learned Cheng Huishan's tone, and said, "Do you need to prove it?"
Old man Ye said to Old Ghost Yuan: "Old ghost, you are all at this age, don't pretend." Old Ghost Yuan didn't speak again this time, and remained surprisingly silent.
Cheng Huishan's reaction to these three old-timers was really laughing and crying, presumably when they were their age, they must be living treasures. Thinking of this, Cheng Huishan hurriedly said: "It is common sense for the seniors to be wary of the younger generations, but Huishan has no ill will towards Xiaoyi and Xiaocun!
"Son, when you lifted that kick today, we believed in you. β
Speaking of which, Hui Shan dared to ask his predecessors why they stopped me from going out today. β
Old man Yuan spoke again: "Because you are still young!
Cheng Huishan said: "The younger generation is unknown!"
Old man Ye continued: "Today, the three of us have already seen that you are not an ordinary person, how can an ordinary person hit and injure this rogue thief!"
Ge Yu didn't give Cheng Huishan a chance to speak, and then said, "At the same time, at that moment, we believe that you have no ill will towards the village. β
Old Ghost Yuan: "As long as it's a person, you can see what you think about Xiaoyi!"
Old man Ye: "And Xiaoyi is our favorite child!"
Ge Yu: "The small village is close to the East China Sea, but there has been some turmoil in Shenzhou recently, we don't want the small village to be defiled and ruined after we enter the soil!"
Ge Yu and the three of you, you and I finally made Cheng Huishan finally understand! His heart continued to fluctuate, he hurriedly got up and straightened his clothes, saluted the three of them with a solemn face, and said, "The junior understands!"
"Scare the kid!"
Old man Ye hurriedly got up and pulled Cheng Huishan to sit down, but as soon as Cheng Huishan sat down, Ge Yu suddenly burst out with a sentence, which made Cheng Huishan surprised, happy, chaotic and panicked......
"We hope you can marry Xiao Yi and continue to protect the village after we die!"
......
On the second day, because of Cheng Huishan's bravery yesterday, the village held a ceremony for him to enter the village.
"Whenβ"
The village bell was struck again after a day's absence, this time very loudly and powerfully. The happiest of all people is naturally Mo Xiaoyi, and of course, there is also Mo Xiaoyi's Dacheng who saw his smiling face like a flower. And Ge Yu and the three looked at Mo Xiaoyi with wonderful expressions, as if to say: "This girl, she has really grown up!"
Huishan knelt in front of the village bell, completed the ceremony of entering the village, and finally said to Ge Yu and the three people: "Huishan will never live up to the expectations of the predecessors!" From beginning to end, no one cared that Cheng Huishan had been calling Ge Yu and the three of them seniors. And Ge Yu and the three of them sat on the top seat, and they were all relieved and happy.
Three days later, Ge Yu and the three of them once again summoned the villagers to the village bell. They sat upright, dressed in white, and told the people that they had exhausted their spirits, and that the end was near. Then they explained some of the aftermath, and finally, they said that although the rogues had been driven away, they did not know if they would do it again in the future, and they hoped that everyone would unite and defend their homeland together. When they said this, they glanced at Cheng Huishan intentionally or unintentionally. When the matter was explained, they closed their eyes and passed away. They walked peacefully, and they didn't have much nostalgia for the world. Death may be just a form of sublimation of the human soul.
The villagers were saddened by the departure of the three respected fairy-like old men, but they all died with smiles, which is also a good thing.
The simple villagers buried the three elders on the highest hill in the village. The saddest thing to cry among all the people is Mo Xiaoyi, for her, the three old people are not immortals, they are her dearest relatives, that is, her grandfather, although they leave with a smile, but people are gone, it will always make people sad.
In front of the grave, all the villagers solemnly performed a prayer ceremony. After everyone left, Mo Xiaoyi quietly sat in front of the graves of the three old men, without saying a word, standing quietly, her eyes were still red, and her face was flushed, she was very quiet, like a well-behaved child.
When the wind rose, Mo Xiaoyi wore clothes and hair, as if she was dancing in the wind, and as if she was going to fly far away, as if she was dancing all the sorrows and memories, and this wind seemed to play a ballad, which has been passed down for thousands of years.
Mo Xiaoyi stayed for a while, looked at the sky, looked at the new tomb, smiled softly, and got up to leave. After a while, Dacheng walked over with a slow pace, stood where Mo Xiaoyi was standing, glanced at the direction where Mo Xiaoyi left, and then turned his head to the tombstones of the three old men and bowed deeply, his expression was very firm! As if he was promising something to the three old men! Such a thin man was so tall at this time!
Those who have aspirations are stronger than stones!
"Dacheng!"
Cheng Huishan didn't know when he appeared not far away, he came to Dacheng's side, and Dacheng, who heard the voice, touched his big nose and turned around.
Cheng Huishan looked at the real names of the three old men on the tombstone, and when the villagers sorted out their belongings, they found that they all had a piece of paper in their home, on which their names were written: Ge Yusheng, Yuan He, and Ye Qiu. When the three names were put together, he finally knew the identities of the three old men, and he was not shocked (the three old men had been reluctant to say their identities that night, saying that he would soon know)!
Ge Yusheng, a Lang Zhong in Zhongling, but he is very skilled, thirty years ago, he saved countless people with a silver needle, but he can also kill, when facing the wicked, the silver needle becomes a life-seeking needle, and the person who was pricked by his needle died in a daze, and for a time he was famous, and the wicked people in the land of Shenzhou made a detour when they saw him.
Yuan He, an ironsmith in the East China Sea, he became famous one day, before that day, no one knew him, he was just an unknown blacksmith, but on that day, he swung the sledgehammer in his hand and smashed it on the cliff of the East China Sea, breaking the cliff of the East China Sea! He smashed a group of people who tempered weapons with human blood into the East China Sea together, and eliminated harm for the people of the world! It is said that the hammer at that time shook the waves three feet high! The fishermen who saw it from afar thought that the sea god had come to the world, and they knelt down one after another! Yuan He's great name spread all over the East China Sea in one day, and even the Shui Yi Sect admired him!
Ye Qiu, I don't know who he is, when people don't know him, he is beating the beasts on the mountain with his bare hands in Zhongling, he is not fighting ordinary beasts, but those spiritual beasts with cultivation and cultivation, and they also pick powerful ones to fight, and after they are killed, they eat their meat...... Of course, in the mountains, who would know his existence. When people knew about him, he was found in the mountains, and when he was dying, a good Samaritan rescued him and took him home, and at last he was healed, but after he thanked the good Samaritan for leaving, the good Samaritan was brutally murdered. He was furious! He was furious! With endless anger, he found the murderer and fought with the murderer for an hour, and in this hour, the murderer changed five weapons, why? Because the murderer's weapons were interrupted by Ye Qiu's bare hands...... In this way, Ye Qiu broke five soldiers with his bare hands. And the murderer died very strangely, he was taken out of his heart by "one claw", and there were scratches all over his body, traces of palms and fists, which can be said to have all kinds of injuries. Since then, the madman Ye Qiu has become famous.
And Ge Yusheng, Yuan He, and Ye Qiu are all people from the same period, and somehow they walked together, they had similar interests and became the "iron mad doctor" in Shenzhou. It is said that they also went to the board with Fu Yi, the second killer in the world, and Fu Yigo was not interested in them at that time, so he waved his hand and volleyed away.
But after decades, for some reason, the three of them suddenly disappeared from the world, and no one could find them anymore, which made people sigh, and the three of them evaporated from the world, leaving only their deeds in Shenzhou. Until today, Cheng Huishan found them, but they have left forever. They secluded from the small village, silently guarding the village, and did not regret it until death. In addition to too many evils, but the wicked people are still endless, under this firmament, chasing fame and profit, seeing that good people become bad people, bad people kill good people, and good people become bad people...... Their hearts were cold, they saw the ugliness of human nature, and came to this simple village, intending to spend the rest of their lives.
It cannot be said that they are wrong in doing so, and no one is qualified! They have just made a choice! Moreover, after they have gone into hiding, many righteous men and gentlemen have been born in the world, and they will imitate them and eliminate evil for the world! They are not great people, but they are good people!
Their ending, in Cheng Huishan's view, is perfect, they spent the rest of their lives peacefully, they walked with peace of mind, they walked peacefully, and their lives were like the sea, with ups and downs, or turbulence, but in the end they all returned to calm.
While Cheng Huishan was thinking about this, Dacheng suddenly stretched out his hand in front of him. Cheng Huishan, who was wearing filial piety clothes, also looked very firm, he looked at this man who resolutely rang the village bell in order to save Xiaoyi and save the village, attracting the ten men of the East China Sea, and couldn't help but think of what Ge Yu said to him in the ancestral ancestral hall three days ago:
"Although Dacheng was saved by me with a big root medicine this time, this medicine is not an elixir, it can only protect Dacheng through this catastrophe, and if Dacheng is so seriously injured again, he will definitely die. β
Cheng Huishan decisively stretched out his hand and shook it with Dacheng.
Between men and brothers, that's it, without saying a word, they understand each other's meaning! Two men, in silence, made a common promise!
The sun was gradually setting, and the last trace of afterglow was attached to the shoulders of the two, pulling out a long shadow on the ground, and the tombstones of the three old men beside them were stained with the brilliance of the golden sun, as if full of smiles.
