"Senior Chu's father?"

Hearing Huai Zhi'an mention it, Shangguan Jinghong was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that when he was in the Cave Heaven Secret Realm just now, Senior Chu never seemed to mention the "stick beating mandarin duck", but at the last moment, he carried the violent feather calamity with his life alone, so that Hu Wei's father successfully survived.

As for why...... Shangguan Jinghong thought about it for a while, and then he understood a little.

"Are you worried that Huwei's predecessors will recall the past and exacerbate the guilt and self-blame in your heart?"

Huai Zhi'an retracted his thoughts and nodded: "It's probably part of the reason." ”

Shangguan Jinghong paused and looked at Huai Zhi'an suspiciously.

"Part of it?"

Huai Zhi'an snorted, and then looked at the distant mountain stream.

"What do you think of Senior Chu's relationship with his father?"

"How to ......" Shangguan Jinghong was a little worried, frowned slightly, and said after thinking. The relationship should be average. ”

Shangguan Jinghong tentatively said his reasoning: "After all, according to what Senior Chu said, in order to pursue the way of the Sword and strengthen the sect, the sect master of the Spirit Void Sword Sect didn't even look at Senior Chu's mother when she died, and Senior Chu also ran away from home because of this, and vowed to defeat his father in the way of the sword, such a relationship between the two is not good in any way, right?" ”

"And after Senior Chu grew up and became successful in the way of the sword, the sect master also tried to force Senior Chu to return to the sect in order to strengthen the Lingxu Sword Sect, and even took a shot at Senior Hu Wei to forcibly separate the two......"

Shangguan Jinghong shook his head, a little smacking, with such a father, the childhood of senior Chu was really unfortunate.

No matter how you look at it, this Spirit Void Sword Sect Sect Master can't be called a "loving father"!

And the reason why Senior Chu's temperament is not distorted now should be because of the blessing of his late mother and his good teaching, and because of this, Senior Chu is so angry with his father.

Huai Zhi'an nodded: "You're right, judging from what that sect master did to Senior Chu, that sect master seems to value Senior Chu's kendo talent more than the identity of 'son'. ”

But Huai Zhi'an's words changed: "Everyone thinks that with such a father, Senior Chu should have a very poor relationship with the other party, but have you ever thought about it, is this really the case?" ”

Huai Zhi'an turned his head and looked at Shangguan Jinghong: "Judging from the Chu seniors you saw before, will he really hate his father all the time?" ”

Shangguan was stunned.

Although there was not much contact, Shangguan Jinghong could feel that Senior Chu was a rather open-minded and easy-going person, and he did not have the loftiness of the Feather Transformation Realm, nor the sharpness and sharpness of ordinary sword cultivation.

At a glance, it is like the green lotus blooming in the lotus pond, like a gentleman, straight from the middle to the outside, without vines or branches.

Such a person may be angry, but if you want to say that you will always hate and resent a person for a long time, that person is still his father, Shangguan Jinghong also thinks it is unlikely.

Huai Zhi'an shook his head and smiled: "In the eyes of outsiders, it seems that Senior Chu has a bad relationship with his father, but what if this is not the case?" ”

He met with Senior Chu alone before, and the last few words of the conversation were about Huai Zhi's doubts about this matter.

And it was the answer of Senior Chu that let Huai Zhi'an know that the other party's sword heart was damaged now, and the reason was quite complicated.

"Could it be that their father and son have a good relationship?" Shangguan Jinghong was a little incredible.

"It's good but it's not ......"

Walking in the mountains and forests, Huai Zhi'an scratched his head, a little worried about how to explain to Shangguan Jinghong.

"If you have to say it, Senior Chu should understand and be 'relieved'."

"Huh?"

Shangguan Jinghong turned his head, and confusion flashed in his usually narrow and sharp good-looking eyes.

"When I was a child, Senior Chu hated my father because of that incident, but as I grew up little by little, with the road that Senior Chu walked, the people I met, and the more and more things I encountered, the world in his eyes was not single, so he gradually understood his father."

Seeing Shangguan Jinghong frowning, he couldn't help but want to say something, Huai Zhian smiled: "Stop, I'm talking about 'understanding' rather than 'acceptance'." ”

Shangguan was stunned, a little confused: "...... I don't understand. ”

"Senior Chu understands his father's pure, pursuit of kendo heart, and also understands his father's desire to strengthen the sect wholeheartedly, but for the matter of 'mother passed away, father never saw the last side of mother', Chu seniors have never accepted it from beginning to end, until now."

Huai Zhi'an raised his head and looked at the two blue birds on the branches of the trees in the forest.

"With the passage of time, people's thoughts and minds will change, and what was difficult to accept in the past may not be accepted now, but in the end, the mood has changed, and I have learned to be relieved, and Chu predecessors are like this."

"According to Chu's predecessor's own words, 'He is my father after all, although I can't agree with his practices and ideas, but in addition to this matter, my father has never failed me, and he has taught me a lot of things, but there are differences in thoughts between father and son, I originally thought that the last trip to ask Sword Kyushu was to return to the Lingxu Sword Sect, to my father, but also to my past self, to ask for the last sword, but I didn't expect it...... It will be so. ’”

Huai Zhi'an recalled Chu Qinglian's words and said slowly.

"Therefore, after ascending to the Feather Transformation Realm, the Chu seniors have already had a different state of mind, and their attitude towards their father is not as resistant as before, and they are also quite relieved about the past."

"If that incident hadn't happened, there would have been a difference between Senior Chu and his father, right?"

Shangguan was shocked and stopped, but he couldn't help but ask: "What is the mood of my father's death for Senior Chu?" ”

Huai Zhi'an opened his mouth, then shook his head with a wry smile.

"I don't know, but I guess I have mixed feelings."

He is not Senior Chu, how can he fully know the other party's feelings, but the reason why Senior Chu didn't mention his father is that he himself has not been able to fully understand it so far, right?

"Although I don't know what Senior Chu thinks now, but the fact that his sword heart is covered with dust and his state of mind is damaged, I think it should have something to do with his father."

"Huh? Why? ”

Huai Zhi'an shook his head: "You really want the sword cultivation sword heart of the Feather Transformation Realm to be shaken so easily?" ”

You must know that if it was just because he wanted to protect Hu Wei, who was already a scourge beast demon fox in the eyes of the world, from the hands of the Jianxin Temple, the Murong family, the Sword Pavilion, and even the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty, Chu Qinglian's sword heart was extremely firm, how could it be easily damaged?

Even if there was an agreement with the host of the Temple of Seeing the Heart later, the sword was broken and sunk into the lake, and the sword would not be released again, and Huwei would not be allowed to appear again, it would only be a sword seal, and it had little to do with the heart of the sword.

And the reason why the sword heart was damaged and couldn't be seen was entirely because of the conflict between the rational integrity in Chu Qinglian's heart and the selfish sensibility.

In Huai Zhi'an's opinion, Chu Qinglian is very much in line with the image of the sword fairy in his heart when he first came to this world, "swimming in the sea and twilight, and driving the sword three feet on the green underworld".

Do whatever you want, unrestrained, when the sword is out, the sword will be out, kill the demons, and be worthy of your heart!

"Worthy of the ...... of the heart"

Shangguan Jinghong lowered his head, muttering in his mouth, thoughtful in his eyes.

"Yes, it's true." Huai Zhi'an nodded, looked at the stretching forest, and sighed. "The problem is that today's Chu seniors, he can't be worthy of his heart."

Chu Qinglian is not a saint who can die for the common people, but he is by no means a cold-blooded person who sits idly by and watches the common people be robbed.

He will do everything he can when he can.

Huai Zhian felt that this was somewhat similar to him.

But the problem is that when everyone in the world determines that the blame lies with Hu Wei, Chu Qinglian needs to face a choice, choose righteousness or private feelings.

Shangguan Jinghong's eyes moved slightly.

"The result is obvious, Senior Chu chose the Taoist companion without hesitation, even if he has to face the gossip and harsh criticism of the world, he is not afraid, he doesn't care, he just wants to keep the life of the Taoist couple." Huai Zhi'an said in a deep voice. "Fortunately, whether it is the Sword Pavilion or the Murong family, or the Jianxin Temple, they all keep this secret, although the rumor of the evil beast and demon fox remains, but no one knows that the Qinglian Sword Immortal and the demon fox still have this relationship."

"Just ......"

"Senior Chu, he recalled the scene of Tianhai County's corpses all over the field, although he didn't regret choosing a Taoist couple, but in his heart, he felt guilty for the countless people of Tianhai County who died in this disaster."

"Similarly, because of this disaster, Senior Chu's father was buried under the Feather Tribulation, and the Spirit Void Sword Sect that he grew up in was completely shattered, he didn't blame Hu Wei, because this incident Fox Wei Senior was also a victim, he only blamed why he didn't come back with him when Fox Wei came back, he blamed himself for why he couldn't return to the Spirit Void Sword Sect earlier, asked his father about the sword, and then understood that he had been haunted by a matter since he was a child."

Huai Zhi'an thought about his predecessors before, and had a long talk with him for the last time with a stunned expression.

When people are alive, they always think that they still have a lot of time, and they always feel that everything is still in time, but when his father died suddenly, Chu Qinglian realized that the words "the world is unpredictable" are so heavy.

He practiced his sword hard and practiced swordsmanship, not necessarily without the idea of "one day, he will defeat his father with swordsmanship", and even Chu Qinglian thought that after defeating his father, he must let him apologize in front of his mother's grave!

As long as he can apologize to his mother, his kendo will have meaning.

Maybe he won't stay in the Spirit Void Sword Sect for a long time in the future, but if he can use the identity of the Feather Transformation Realm Sword Cultivator, the Spirit Void Sword Sect can successfully rank among the tenth largest sects in the world and become the only sword sect, it is not impossible.

After all, those who have worked hard for this goal all their lives, in addition to their father, the major elders of the Sword Sect, as well as countless disciples, are all looking forward to it.

The Spirit Void Sword Sect is where he grew up, it is where he and his mother's memories are, and the grievances with his father really don't need to affect the Spirit Void Sword Sect.

Maybe you can take Huwei back to meet his father, although his father will definitely be furious and won't agree, but he doesn't care, anyway, it's just a notice, and he still wants to be angry with the other party.

But with the occurrence of this disaster, all ideas have become empty talk.

Chu Qinglian even wanted to ask why his father obviously came with the intention of killing Hu Wei, but why he suddenly rescued Hu Wei in the end, and even paid the price with his life.

But no one could answer all these questions and doubts.

This is where Chu Qinglian feels sad in his heart, and even because he doesn't want to remind Hu Wei of the past, so over the years, he has said everything when talking to himself, but he has never mentioned "father".

His sword originally wanted to protect more, but why did it end up like this?

He didn't understand the point of his sword practice, nor did he understand the point of him swinging the sword.

It was the guilt of the people of Tianhai County, coupled with the complicated feelings of his father, that Chu Qinglian ended up with a sword heart covered in dust and a damaged state of mind.

】

"So, Senior Chu's situation is as complicated as that Fox Wei senior." Huai Zhi'an sighed. "This Taoist couple, it seems that one is self-sealed at the bottom of the lake and the other is outside the lake, but in fact, these two people are in the 'seal', and neither of them has come out."

Shangguan Jinghong nodded, feeling that what Huai Zhi'an said made sense.

But then Shangguan Jinghong remembered something, and suddenly turned his head to look at Huai Zhi'an: "Master, you said, did the host of the Seeing Heart Temple see this problem at the beginning, so he let the two of them seal themselves in the fragments of the Spirit Void Sword Sect Cave Heaven and want them to come out by themselves?" ”

"Doesn't it mean that the people of Buddhism are very proficient in the state of mind?"

Huai Zhi'an was stunned, he hadn't thought about this.

"I don't know, maybe there is this consideration, or maybe not, but now that I have promised to help, I can't be sloppy."

"At least check the truth of that incident first, whether it was the ghost of the Nine Heavenly Demons!"

Shangguan smiled in shock, since the moment she heard Huai Zhi'an promise to help, she didn't have the slightest doubt that Huai Zhi'an would definitely be able to solve this matter, because in the world, there is absolutely nothing that can stump the master!

-----------------

Huai Zhi'an and Shangguan Jinghong left Lingxu Mountain, planning to go back to Tianhai County to see the situation first, after all, in addition to looking for Huaiyang Mountain Essence this time, they also accidentally got involved in another matter.

"Don't you go to Huaiyang Mountain for the time being?" Shangguan Jinghong wondered.

Huai Zhi'an shook his head: "Huaiyang Mountain is not in a hurry, if An Ran is really the reincarnation of the mountain god and Taoist couple, the other party will not disappear, so it is better to deal with another matter first." ”

The Zhao family's dart game was wiped out, and the Murong family also had some undercurrents surging, and it was not very peaceful.

As the only overlord of Tianhai County today, once there is any fluctuation, the entire Tianhai County will undoubtedly have sudden waves, and it may affect Huai Zhi'an's investigation of the matter back then.

And the Murong family was also involved in that incident, the person who Chu Qinglian's father contacted at the beginning seemed to be the previous head of the Murong family who gave power to Murong Yunxiu? And after all, it has been more than 100 years since now, many things have long been wrong, Huai Zhi'an and others are not local people here, if you want to act conveniently, the help of the Murong family is indispensable.
