Chapter Eighty-Seven: In the Name of the Father—Awakening!
"I wish the shopkeeper, you were chased and killed by the enemy back then, if it weren't for our Yunze Villa to help you cook, I'm afraid that you are still on the run, how could you open three jewelry stores in this Weicheng, marry two concubines and live such a comfortable and leisurely life?
In a spacious jewelry store on the side of the street, a steward of Yunze Villa was arguing with a middle-aged wealthy merchant wearing a melon skin hat and holding his stomach upright, and his tone was slightly passionate.
You also know that now this commercial street is sparsely populated, there are almost no customers, my store has been losing money for months, and it has already reached the point where it is beyond its means, if it weren't for the two shops outside that still have a little profit every month, I am afraid that this store has already closed its doors, and it is precisely because of the kindness of your village that this shop Zhu has endured the pain of losing money in this commercial street for five years, and has never left. ”
"Alas, you also know that the merchants are pursuing interests, Weicheng is full of shops, the competition between the shops is very high, relying on this city income is limited after all, if you want to obtain greater benefits, you must transport them to other cities or countries to sell, and then the procurement of goods is also a very troublesome thing, today's world is so chaotic, there are bandits and bandits everywhere, we businessmen are naturally unable to deal with it, so we can only rely on your power under the dart game. “
"However, do you also know how many times Guizhuang's dart has been robbed in the past five years? Especially recently, it is a dart that has been robbed once, although Guizhuang is more honest, and gives us compensation every time, but to put it mildly, since it was the Xuanting meeting five years ago, Guizhuang's reputation has plummeted, and the industry under it is also a depression in passenger flow, which is beyond its means, plus this huge amount of compensation? Guizhuang is afraid that it will not last long now, right?" Zhu shopkeeper's big face trembled, and said helplessly.
After a pause, Zhu shopkeeper's greasy face narrowed into a line, a sneer flashed in his eyes, and he grinned and continued: "Now, the Remnant Sword Sect on West Street has opened a new commercial street, and the monthly payment for us is very low, and they are the top ten forces in the Vermilion Bird Country, and their reputation is there, and the success rate of each dart is very high, which can ensure the output and procurement of goods, which is very tempting for us merchants, so I'm sorry to wait for the steward......" His eyes rolled slightly, looking at the steward in front of him, whose face was becoming more and more gloomy, Zhu Qinshou flicked the dust on the brocade, and his expression revealed a touch of arrogance.
"Isn't this Xuanting meeting approaching? If Guizhuang can turn the tide in this Xuanting meeting and enter the top ten, Zhu Mou promises to bring the shop back immediately, how about it?"
Pouted, the corners of Zhu Qinshou's mouth showed a trace of disdain, with a bit of sarcasm in his tone, although he didn't repair weapons, but he also understood that Yunze Villa, the last force, was about to be expelled from the ranks of the top 100 forces, and it was a question of whether he could participate in the Xuanting meeting once every five years, not to mention the delusional dream of an idiot to enter the top ten of the Xuanting Society!
Zhu Guan also ignored the waiter who was difficult to see on the side, commanded the guys who were carrying items in the store with a strong voice, put the things on the green ox cart, walked proudly, sat on the cart, and let the coachman of the Remnant Sword Sect drive the ox cart away.
"Phew...... Ungrateful dog thing, with a high-sounding appearance, what shop can't make ends meet, and still insists on not leaving for five years, full of hypocrisy and benevolence, fox face, in the final analysis, it's not for the tenfold high compensation for the failure of our Yunze Villa escort, otherwise you, a dead fat man, would be willing to stay here for so many years?!"
"Hey...... Now that we have earned enough money from Yunze Villa, we have no silver in the village to compensate and are leaving, what kind of shitty thing?! No wonder your mother calls you a beast, it's really not a fucking thing!" The face of the waiter turned red, spit viciously, and scolded angrily at Zhu Qinshou's round back.
"Steward Hou has calculated what to do with such a shameless villain? What kind of character is this dead fat man, don't you know? A typical beast, under our Yunze Villa, the owner of the village explicitly requires the members under him to clean themselves and not do things that touch the law. “
"And that dead fat man is naturally greedy for money and lustful, in our Yunze Villa for the compensation fee, I didn't dare to mess around for five years, and now our villa is financially depressed, and there is no money, this ungrateful dog thing fled to the Remnant Sword Sect with the bulging wallet earned from us, what kind of guys are those guys in the Remnant Sword Sect? A typical group of thieves who bully and dominate the market. “
"A few days ago, this dead fat man fell in love with the daughter of Zhang Laohan's family on Xicheng Street, and he relied on the support of the Remnant Sword Sect to run to Zhang Laohan's house and forcibly Bao the girl, Zhang Laohan died of anger on the spot, and his daughter was humiliated afterwards and hanged herself, and the intervention of the Remnant Sword Sect did not dare to endure the dead fat man. “
A young disciple of Yunze Villa walked out of the store, staring at the green ox cart that was slowly driving out with a fierce face, eager to swallow Zhu Qinshou's corrupt scum alive.
On the street, a young man dressed in gray listened to all the words of several people, and his delicate little face was filled with a touch of cold coldness, "This kind of animal that has lost its conscience is indeed not necessary to live, since this day will not give you retribution, then I will do the way for heaven and destroy your scourge, which can be regarded as accumulating some virtue." “
Li Yang raised his head, and in the dark pupils, two beams of firelight appeared strangely, and the firelight was like two sharp swords, and it happened to fly into the car when the green ox cart passed by him.
"Huh...... Why is the iron box on the ox cart getting bigger and bigger? Am I dazzled? Hmm...... It seems that there is a layer of fire outside the iron box!" "On the side of the street, the disciple of Yunze Villa who was staring at the green ox cart slowly driving out with an angry face, as if he had discovered something strange, muttered in a slightly stunned voice.
"These stupid guys, what kind of thing is kindness? How much is it worth? This troubled world is still important to silver, with silver, you can marry as many women as you want, and you can eat whatever you want, hey...... If it weren't for the high compensation fee, you would think that Zhu Ye would be willing to stay in this dog place where birds don't for so many years, I ...... In the future, I wish Ye to be at ease with the Remnant Sword Sect, no better than following your pretentious Broken Mountain Villa?!"
Zhu Qinshou shook the horizontal flesh on his face, moved his fat body, changed to a comfortable sitting position, hummed a little song lazily, fiddled with the jade wrench on his thumb, and fantasized about a better life in the future, suddenly, a roar of "......boom" sounded, and suddenly the leisurely green ox cart suddenly burst, and clusters of fire splashed, and everything turned into nothing in an instant.
All fantasies, all expectations, all disappeared in an instant, and the soul returned to nothingness.
Indifferently glanced at his masterpiece, the young man covered his eyes, and walked straight out of the firelight towards the outside of the shopping street, the scimitar behind his back, trembling gently, as if feeling the emotions in the young man's heart, resonating with him.
"It's ...... What's going on?"
Steward Hou was stunned, looking at the green ox cart that suddenly exploded and disappeared, subconsciously rubbed his eyes, and after confirming that it was not a hallucination, he asked the young man beside him who was already frightened.
"It seems to have exploded with a bang, and I don't know the specifics......! The iron box on the ox cart seemed to be ...... outside There was a strange layer of flames, and then the iron box grew up inexplicably, and then ...... After that, the whole ox cart and the scumbag Zhu Fat Man were gone. Trying to recall the scene just now, the young man stammered a little.
"That...... Steward Hou, could it be that there is really retribution in this world? As soon as I finished speaking, why is Zhu Qinshou gone? Isn't this retribution a little too fast?" As if remembering something, the young man asked a little stunned at the slightly wooden Steward Hou beside him.
"I should think so......! Or do more good things......"
Steward Hou swallowed his saliva, looked at the fading gunsmoke, and said in a wooden voice, suddenly he noticed that on the side of the street, a young man walking with a scimitar on his back, a strange thought suddenly rose in his heart, could the strange explosion just now come from the hands of the young man?
But then he expelled this slightly absurd idea, because such a strange scene, some of which were too much for the people to think about, he had never heard of, how could it come from the hands of a young guy?
No wonder as soon as the Xuanting Conference five years ago ended, my father spent less and less time with me, and he no longer searched for my survival methods and collected all kinds of knife scores for me as before. “
"I resent him at the time, because he was everything to me in my young world, and if he had given up on me, I didn't know who else I could rely on. Later, during the torture of the sword soul and the coma, I heard my father's dispute with a group of relatives of the Great Elder over me, and I realized that he had always cared about me, but I never understood why his brow was wrinkled more and more, his free time was getting less and less, and his time with me was getting shorter and shorter. “
"Huh...... It's ridiculous! I didn't know until now that my father had been busy with such serious consequences because of my failure five years ago, and that he had been responsible for my failure, but I was still complaining that he didn't care about me more and more, blaming him for not being with me, ha...... I've always thought I'm smart, but I've always been an idiot!"
The young man's expression was slightly bitter, some self-blame, some remorse, but some things are like the flowing water that has passed away, once it is gone, it will never be returned.
"Because of the twenty-four sword souls, I can't cultivate one hundred and eight sword scores, so I have been complaining that this sword score is not profound enough, and that sword score is not mysterious enough to suppress the sword soul in my body, but I have forgotten that this one hundred and eight sword scores, which one of them was not obtained by my father at the risk of his life?!
"Since I was a child, the sword soul in my body has rioted from time to time, at first my father and the elders were able to suppress it, but later the sword soul became stronger and stronger, and it can only be suppressed by relying on the magic weapon Pan Mirror left by my ancestor, how important is that Pan Mirror to our entire Yunze Villa? “
He always thought that the kindness he saw was the father's love, but he always forgot that the obscurity of the father's love he had never seen was the most difficult. A kind of feeling in the invisible, only people with a heart can understand, but he was young at the time but did not find it, when he looked back, the distance was already dim, until it was the childhood heart of the mountain temples white, only to wake up.
"Father, all these years you have been helping me to shield from the wind and rain, now that my son has grown up, it is time to share the weight for you, the shame that I once brought because of me, now let my son wash it away with his own hands, you told me that if you fail too much, you will succeed, I have failed so many times that you silently cleaned up the mess for me behind my back, this time I want you to witness your son's success, and let you share this belated glory with your son!"
A trace of bangs, diagonally on the young man's forehead, the young man's dark eyes appeared two scorching lights, like the morning sun in the sky, the young man under the breeze, carrying the lonely scimitar behind him, in the name of his father - awaken!
