Chapter 19 Life is so helpless
"Ah Tian, slow down, wait for me."
The sound made Xiaotian's body tremble, and he turned his head to see a boy running out of the village barefoot, followed by a girl in straw sandals and a pair of ponytails.
The girl appeared to be malnourished, dark-skinned and emaciated. At this time, she followed the boy and panted, but even then she did not stop and followed all the way behind her.
"Ah Tong!" Xiao Tian stood in place, and there was already mist in his cloudy eyes. With the appearance of the two children, Xiaotian's sword-wielding momentum subsided, and the strange rain in the air washed over his body, and he didn't care at all.
The two children trotted all the way, and the scene kept changing. Soon the two of them came to a ditch, where five or six playmates of the same age had gathered early.
A few people played in the stream, and the cicadas chirped softly in the fields. In spring and summer, everything here is like a fairyland.
Suddenly, two women approached in the distance, their faces obscured by a layer of mist, and they didn't know if it was a fantasy or something.
The presence of the two women interrupted the frolicking crowd, and a faint reprimand sounded loudly. As a child, Xiaotian was casually picked up by one of the women, and then walked in the direction of the village. The other woman was even more violent, grabbing the girl's arm with one hand and whipping her with the other.
For a while, the sound of crying echoed in the field, and the beautiful atmosphere became depressed. As a bystander, Xiao Tian's face was not happy or angry, but his chest was rising and falling.
Spring goes to autumn, time flies, and the scene changes rapidly. In these years, except for Xiaotian and Mingtong, the faces of the rest of the people have been obscured by mist. His childhood playmates gradually drifted away from him, and now his life has become boring.
Xiaotian is also growing up day by day. And Mingtong has also become a slim little girl, but years of malnutrition have caused her to be weak and sickly, even if Xiaotian, who has a better family, takes care of her secretly, it is difficult to change her current situation.
This year, the Xiao family clan came, and Xiaotian successfully awakened the mandate of heaven. His destiny is very special, and his destiny has its own sword energy. I heard from the elders of the clan that he was very likely to be the reincarnation of a certain sword cultivator.
Xiaotian's talent attracted the attention of the clan, and it didn't take long for someone from the clan to pick him up. On this day, the weather was gloomy and dark clouds, as if a few drops of rain could be squeezed out at any moment.
Xiao Tian said that he didn't want to leave, he didn't want to cultivate, and he didn't want to leave Shuangwan Village and Mingtong. But no one cares what he thinks, and no one understands what he thinks. In the eyes of adults, there are only interests, and Xiaotian cultivation will be a sharp blade in their hands.
Under the orders of his parents and these so-called big shots, Xiaotian finally embarked on a long journey. Before leaving, Xiaotian and Mingtong promised that he would do his best to grow quickly. Until he gets out of everyone's grasp, then he will come back to pick her up.
Ming Tong believed Xiaotian's words and settled in Shuangwan Village. Ten years have passed in a flash, and Xiaotian has not forgotten his promise. His talent made the entire Gou Chen Xing look different, and among the many geniuses, he rose to prominence and then pressed an era that could not raise his head.
Ten years later, Xiaotian broke through the fifth realm, and at this time, his words and deeds were inexplicably majestic. Many inexplicable women who wanted to follow him were rejected by him one by one, he couldn't fit anyone in his heart, and the dark-skinned woman in Shuangwan Village was what he wanted all his life.
After breaking through the fifth realm, Xiaotian finally had the right to speak in the family, he could say no to the ancestor who had arranged his life at will, and he decisively refused in the face of the marriage of interests.
But things don't fulfill people's wishes, Xiaotian is a subject in the territory of the dynasty. The man in the palace heard that his talent was intent on wooing, and he gave him his second daughter.
Of course, Xiaotian directly refused, but because of this, he offended the cautious people of the dynasty. Under the deliberate creation of some enemies, the Xiao family was suppressed everywhere, and even he was often assassinated.
For this reason, Xiaotian delayed his plan to find Mingtong, he was afraid that Mingtong would be affected, so he decided to move the clan to the northern faction and then pick her up.
But before this matter was implemented, it was exposed by traitors, and for a while, the Xiao family's defection spread all over the government and the opposition. The palace even sent heavy troops to suppress it, after all, it has become hostile to Xiaotian, so there are only two ways to go. Either eradicate or obey, you can only blame Xiaotian's talent for being feared.
In response to the beginning of the liquidation of the Xiao family, all the three ancestors of the Xiao family fell in this battle, and most of the descendants of the clan were killed and injured. The imperial court was determined to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and such an attitude made the surviving Xiao family members panic.
Finally, under the leadership of the head of the Xiao family at that time, all the Xiao family members came to ask Xiao Tian to negotiate peace. Although Xiaotian didn't have a good impression of his own clan, when he saw these elders and the juniors who could just speak kneeling in front of him, he was moved and his heart softened!
On this day, the news of Xiaotian's marriage to the second princess of the dynasty spread to every inch of the territory, and Mingtong, who was far away in Shuangwan Village, also learned about it. She smiled bitterly at this, and since then there has been no dark-skinned woman in Shuangwan Village, and there is one less woman looking into the distance at the entrance of the village.
Xiao Tian in the phantom realm was intoxicated by the scenes of the past, and the rain like strong acid was completely ignored by him, maybe he didn't care about this cultivation at all.
"No, that's not how my life is!" Xiao Tian looked at the joy of the wedding day and said bitterly. It seems that he has never lived a day as he intended in his life, and until now he is still the walking dead when he becomes the ancestor of the Xiao family.
In the fantasy scene, Xiao Tian didn't lift his hijab in the cave room for a long time, and his eyes were blank and his mind had already drifted into the distance.
The woman who was covered by the red hijab snorted angrily when she saw that Xiaotian had not moved, and then took off the hijab herself. It's just that the hijab is still covered by fog, and Xiaotian vaguely sees the woman sobbing.
The marriage between the two has no emotional foundation, Xiaotian has an intention of falling in love with someone, why is she not.
Three years passed, Xiaotian broke through the middle stage of the Tibetan God Realm, and he went out of the customs in advance to Shuangwan Village, but he didn't see the woman he was thinking about.
According to the villagers, Mingtong left on the day of his wedding, and there has been no news since.
The lost Xiaotian returned home, and his last thoughts of beauty were gone. At this time, his state of mind was already damaged, and the progress of his cultivation became extremely slow.
It was another five years, and Xiaotian secretly sent people to find Mingtong's whereabouts. And this woman, who has no feelings for herself, also has subtle emotions between day and night, and her face that is covered by water mist has gradually become clear in the past five years.
This year, Xiaotian broke through the late stage of the Tibetan God Realm, and he was already one step slower than other Tianjiao. But his name has always overwhelmed others, and the secret enemy has finally caught his handle.
On this day, Xiaotian received news from the hostile force Xuanmen. Mingtong was found by them and was imprisoned in the sect at this time.
Xiao Tian's whole person was almost crazy when he heard the news, and at the same time, the elderly Xiao Tian's body trembled slightly, and his eyes were already bloodshot.
After a long period of erosion by the rain, his aura was still violent when he fell into the fourth realm at this time, and even Li An, who was outside the illusion realm, was suddenly shocked back a few steps.
"Ah Tian, you must put your own safety first." When Xiaotian was leaving, the second princess said with concern.
Hearing her call herself Ah Tian, Xiao Tian's whole body trembled. Many years ago, there was also a little girl who followed her ass and screamed like this, and after so many years, she was finally going to take her home!
"Second princess, if I don't come back, the clan will be handed over to you." Xiao Tian stared at the woman.
"I'll wait for you!" The second princess's eyes were misty, and she whispered.
Hearing this, Xiao Tian was stunned, although the two of them have the name of husband and wife over the years, but they are not husband and wife, and on the occasion of leaving, Xiao Tian finally faced the woman who had accompanied him for nearly ten years.
It turns out that she is also beautiful! It turns out that she loves me too! Originally...... I really missed a lot!
Xiao Tian was stunned for a while, he has failed many people in this life. After this time, he will protect the people around him as he wishes and love what he loves.
"Wait until I'll get back!"
Xiaotian didn't say much and resolutely left. He is extremely determined to go this way, although he knows that it will not be smooth sailing, but in the days to come, he would rather withdraw from the dispute and return to Shuangwan Village to live an ordinary life.
The change of dynasty Xuanmen is still the same, as the only sect in the dynasty that has been sealed, Xuanmen has the absolute right to speak.
Xiao Tian broke into the Xuanmen alone, which attracted the attention of the world, and the sword of the world waved over him, and there was no enemy in his hand. He was unstoppable with one person and one sword, killing from the mountain gate to the depths, and the corpses paved the way.
Finally, the elders of the Sixth Realm of Xuanmen came out together, a total of five people. Xiaotian fought in the late stage of the Tibetan God Realm, and this battle was talked about until decades later. The reason lies in that sword, breaking the momentum and cutting the sky.
A sword came out, and the sword crossed the heavens and the earth, and the smoke and dust shrouded a radius of hundreds of miles. The sword was sheathed, five people were killed, and the sky was divided into two for three years of great drought.
Li An stood outside the illusion and was shocked to close his mouth, he saw this sword, and the illusion was born by him, he felt the same way.
Three years ago, he faced many top powerhouses, and even if these people cultivated to the heavens and the earth, they never made Li An feel amazed. At this time, Li An came back to his senses, and he knew that Xiaotian did not use all his strength in the face of him. If you hit with all your strength just now, I am afraid that the wall of luck will dissipate in an instant.
Xiao Tian in the Illusory Realm slashed the five Jingmen Realm elders with a single sword, which shocked everyone, and no one could have imagined that the people of the Fifth Realm would be so powerful.
When the heavens and the earth were silent, a huge palm print fell from the sky. Xiao Tian swung his sword again, but this time he didn't have the unstoppable force he imagined, and the palm of his hand suddenly shook and dissipated the sword qi.
"The Seventh Realm!" Xiaotian's body trembled and said in astonishment.
The Seventh Realm is the top combat power in this era when the true gods do not come out, and the group of masters who attacked and killed Li An back then were all from the Seventh Realm.
The palm print disappeared after the sword qi was dispersed, and the person who shot it did not appear. Xiaotian waited for a while, and saw that no one came out and walked deeper again.
This time, no one stopped him, and Xiao Tian came to the residence of the head of the Xuanmen sect. Here the dark-skinned woman waits, and nothing else.
The two did not hug each other and cry when they met, nor did they reunite after a long absence. Mingtong's hair is a little dry, and he has suffered a lot in Hongchen over the years.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and this glance made all the previous misunderstandings disappear. The man in front of me has not forgotten the promise of the year, he came to pick me up. The woman in front of her did not miss the appointment, she was still waiting for herself, but she appeared in a different way.
The two of them have interlocked their fingers, Xiaotian has been practicing swordsmanship all year round, and there are thick calluses on her hands, and Mingtong's years of farming have also made her delicate fingers dry and wrinkled. But neither of them cared about any of this, their fingers were interlocked, and they were connected to each other.
At this moment, Xiaotian was eroded by the rain in the illusion, and he smiled. Furui Wubo's face smiled, very sweet, like playing with his friends as a child, carefree.
"Let's go home." Xiaotian took Mingtong's hand and smiled.
"Hmm." Mingtong lowered his head and whispered.
At this moment, no one can stop the two from falling in love, and no one can part their hands.
The two of them walked slowly all the way, and everyone in the Xuanmen avoided with fear on their faces.
However, this beauty did not last long, and the two had just stepped out of the mountain gate, and Mingtong spit out a mouthful of blood, dyeing most of their clothes red.
Xiao Tian's face changed, and he hurriedly supported her, and at this moment, a voice appeared in Xiao Tian's mind from inside the Xuanmen.
"We're just cutting off the beard halfway, and the soul-devouring poison in her body is now out of oil."
Only Xiao Tian heard this, and the person who spoke was none other than the powerhouse of the Seventh Realm.
Hearing the three words of Soul Devouring Poison, Xiao Tian's eyes were stunned in place, and at this moment, it seemed that all the strength in his body had been drained, and in the fifth realm, he only felt that his legs were soft and his lips were dry.
"Ah Tian, let's go home first. I want to see our home. Mingtong laughed miserably.
Xiaotian wiped the blood from the corner of Mingtong's mouth, and regained his strength after half a ring. "Let's go home."
Xiaotian galloped all the way in the air, and returned to Xiao's house half a day later. But as soon as he arrived home, he felt that the world was spinning, and the scene in front of him made his scalp tingle, and anger surged in his heart.
The Xiao family was in shambles, and the entire courtyard was full of blood and dead bodies. Those who survived were huddled in the firewood room and did not dare to come out.
In the courtyard of the Xiao family, the second princess stood in place with a red tassel gun. She was covered in blood and looked in the direction of the Xuanmen. It seems that he is looking forward to Xiaotian's safe return until the last moment.
Xiaotian fell from the sky with Mingtong in his arms, he walked tremblingly to the second princess, looking at the wound on the second princess's neck and gasping heavily.
"II...... Lini, I'm back! Xiao Tianhu's eyes were dripping with blood and tears, this was the first time he and the second princess had called her name for so many years, but Li Ni couldn't hear it anymore.
"The princess is looking forward to your return to death, where you have gone, where you have gone. Why weren't you by the princess's side when she was behind bars? Suddenly, a maid rushed out and roared at Xiaotian.
Xiaotian's whole person was numb, and he let the maid curse without replying. I don't know how long this stop was, and he didn't come back to his senses until Mingtong dragged his weak body over.
"This is the second princess, she is looking at the direction of the Xuanmen. It's the direction you're in. Mingtong said weakly.
Xiao Tian nodded, he didn't expect that his trip would usher in such a big change.
Ming Tong suddenly smiled and said softly. "Mingtong meets my sister."
Xiao Tian was stunned for a moment, and his heart was sour. God seemed to sense his desolation, and the light rain fell to wash away the sin.
"Ah Tian, can I be buried next to my sister when I die?" Mingtong said with a smile.
Xiaotian wiped away the blood and tears, looked at Ming Tong and said in a deep voice. "I'm not going to let you die, we're finally reunited."
Mingtong smirked stupidly but didn't say anything.
Xiaotian picked up Li Ni in the light rain, maybe from this moment on, the two of them can be regarded as a real husband and wife.
Xiaotian's heart was heavy, and he carried Li Ni back to the room and collapsed to the ground weakly. Mingtong followed behind him, and instead of helping Xiaotian up, she slowly squatted down and looked at the people she loved.
"Ah Tian, I don't want to leave, I don't want you to be uncomfortable. I know that if I leave you, the sky will fall for you. But I can't do it, and you can't do it. I am not there you must cheer up, I heard that the world will be the same flower blooming, you must find me. “
Xiao Tian turned her head violently, but found that Mingtong was already extremely weak, and she forcibly suppressed the blood in her mouth.
"No, it won't. Ah Tong, you wait for me, I'll go to the palace to ask for someone. Xiaotian was about to get up, but at this time, Mingtong stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Ah Tian, don't go. I'm afraid, afraid I won't see you until I close my eyes. I understand my sister's feelings, she loves you very much and cares about you very much. As soon as Mingtong's words fell, blood suddenly spurted out and collapsed in Xiaotian's arms.
Xiao Tian's eyes widened, he is at a loss now, and he has been praised as the first person of the younger generation after cultivating for so many years. But at this time, he found that cultivation was useless, and he could not do anything in the face of his beloved.
"Ah Tian, my poison was not given by others. I've been to the Dragon Slope, and I picked the herb. Mingtong lay in Xiaotian's arms and said with a smile.
Hearing that Long Mingpo Xiaotian's expression changed and he said excitedly, "Why, why are you going, don't you know where it's dangerous?" “
"I know, you need this herb." Mingtong said with a smile.
Xiao Tian's excited emotions were suddenly soothed, yes, he needed that pearl of herbs. He was sad in his heart, and in the end, he still hurt Ah Tong. The two women in his life are thinking about themselves, but they have failed the two.
"Why are you so stupid, I can actually go by myself." Xiao Tian said softly, his heart had been touched.
Mingtong smiled slightly and didn't explain, and she didn't need to explain. For the beloved!
On this day, Xiaotian fell into the endless abyss, and his world was no longer bright. The woman who was in love with each other left him, and the loved one of his life died in Huangquan.
Xiaotian has never lived a day for himself in his life, obeying his parents' orders when he was a child and obeying his family's words when he is an adult. When you can be alone, there are so many people who can't help themselves.
I thought that everything would take a turn for the better on the day Mingtong appeared, but I didn't expect it to be a darker reincarnation.
