Nightmares sudden.

Motoyoshi knelt on the floor of the dimly lit firewood room, the faint musty smell of the piles of firewood piled up on all sides, and he could hear the footsteps echoing outside the room.

He shivered in fear, and his hands and feet shrank back in unison.

The footbell was ringing.

The wooden door was pushed open with a creak, and the deer crossed the threshold with the hem of his robe. As soon as he flicked his robe, the ground immediately clanged, and a sword lay still on the ground.

"Pick it up." Lu Bupin's cold eyes pointed at his neck, "Stabb me." ”

"Father......" Yuan Ji trembled and crawled back, "I...... I don't dare. ”

"You were fished up from the river by me, three years old said it's not big, but it's time to learn the rules." Lu Bupin approached, "From today on, you have to call me Mr. Lu, don't call me father, understand?" ”

"Father—"

The deer does not raise his palm!

With a snap, the young body slammed into the pyre, and the severe pain made Yuanji tremble, the corners of his mouth were swollen high, and blood dripped down the corners of his mouth in the dust.

"Don't shout those words." Lu Bupin's face was indifferent, "Take the sword!" ”

The cry choked in his throat, and Motoyoshi crawled over to pick up the sword, but his arms trembled.

As if swallowing the pain, learning the rules in fear, he said in a dumb voice, "Mr. Deer." ”

"From today onwards, I will pass on your seven absolute swords, and the seven absolute swords are to cut off all love and hatred in the world." Lu Bupin walked back and forth, "Yuanji, remember, in the future, you will learn to be ruthless and unrighteous in your life, and you are a sword, a sword that only lives to kill!" ”

Yuanji's eyes widened, and he asked in an astringent voice, "Who to kill?" ”

Lu Bupin stepped forward and grabbed his shoulders and said solemnly: "Whoever is Miss's enemy will be killed." ”

Yuan Ji raised his head, the fear in his eyes was numb, and he asked in a disdainful manner, "Who is Miss?" ”

……

The footbell was worn on his feet from childhood to adulthood, and Yuan Ji rang everywhere he went, Lu Bupin led him to the princess Jiang Xiaonan, knelt down on his head, and told him that he would not go anywhere in the future, and would guard the young lady.

Miss.

A girl sprang out of the flowers, wearing a colorful skirt and carrying a bamboo basket on her back, and threw herself into Jiang Xiaonan's arms barefoot.

Jiang Xiaonan beckoned to Yuanji and said, "Yuanji, you will follow the ridiculous in the future." ”

Yuan Ji remembered Zhen Kexiao's appearance and knew that she was a young lady, and he followed Zhen Kexiao from then on.

Zhen Kexiao took him to catch dragonflies, went to the pond to play in the water, hid in the back window of the kitchen to steal something to eat, and picked camellia in the garden. He will follow Zhen Kexiao wherever he goes, and he will be like Zhen Kexiao's shadow everywhere.

In that shadow, he grasped Zhen Kexiao's breathing, pace, posture, and even the emotions between a smile and a smile, he completely immersed himself in Zhen Kexiao's person, and became a sword hiding in the dark, as long as there was any danger of Zhen Kexiao's existence, even if there was only the slightest possibility.

He will draw the sword that has been sharpened for years!

For ten years, Yuanji forgot who he was, practicing swords day and night, guarding day and night, he completely lost himself, and he gradually became crazy and calm.

In the contradictory gap of light and shadow, he could only hear the jingle of the footbell and the crying in the firewood room.

The three-year-old boy is dead, and now he is Motoyoshi.

A sword that lives for Zhen Kexiao.

……

"Miss......"

Motoyoshi opened his weak eyes, and the candlelight that entered his eyes was dim. He turned his extremely heavy head in a drowsy consciousness, looking for Zhen Kexiao's figure in an unfamiliar environment.

"Senior sister, this kid is awake."

The magnetic voice echoed in Yuan Ji's ears, he tried to open his eyes, and a beautiful face appeared in his half-open and half-closed eyes, and in his blurred vision, he recognized the person as Jiang Xiaonan.

He squirmed his dry lips and said in a dumb voice, "Yuanji, I've seen the princess." ”

"Senior sister, I'm bringing some ice." The hazy smoke covered Jiang Guo's face, "The stupid boy is confused, and he calls the old lady and princess." ”

"It's coming, it's coming." Fifth Ting stepped into the house with a lotus, "I'll take a look." ”

She pressed the back of her hand against Yuanji's forehead, and after a moment, she applied an ice pack and carefully wiped Yuanji's sweat with a handkerchief.

"Miss......" Motoyoshi repeated, "Miss......"

"Who the hell is this young lady sacred?" Jiang Guo picked Erlang's leg, "Take a good young man's confusion." ”

"It should be that Zhen Kexiao, didn't Senior Brother Lu say that the two of them entered the Ten Thousand Swords Gate together." Fifth Ting scrubbed her handkerchief, "You don't have to say a word." ”

"Yo, I didn't say that stupid hat, what are you anxious about?" Jiang Guo lifted his legs and stood up and walked towards the door, "Cheng, I'll go out, you stay." ”

"Where to go!" Fifth Ting's face rarely changed, "Stay and take care of people, Master will come back later." ”

Jiang Guo smiled proudly, casually threw the cigarette stick on the case, hugged Wu Ting's thin waist from behind, put it close to his ear, and said softly: "I know that I can't do without you." ”

"Move your hands and feet less." Although Fifth Ting said this, she didn't push her away, "You are good, go and pour a bowl of water." ”

Jiang Guosong suddenly opened his mouth in front of his hand and bit her earlobe, and the earrings swayed in the dim light, flashing orange light.

The root of the fifth Ting's ear suddenly floated crimson.

Jiang Guo poured the tea and handed it over, saying: "In the past two days, I have listened to the junior brother who returned to the mountain in Chongdu to say that the news of Zhen Kexiao's escape has spread all over the world, and the emperor has sent many soldiers to the Jiang family in Yanzhou to search for people." ”

Fifth Ting fed Yuan Ji tea and asked, "Why did you go to Jiang's house to search for people?" ”

Jiang Guo picked up the cigarette stick and took a sip, saying, "Princess Zhen Jiang Xiaonan was born in the Jiang family, don't there are many disciples in our sect who are officials in Chongdu, and receiving letters is much faster than that of the people." Hearing him say that it was Bing Cao who intercepted the secret letter, the old man of the Jiang family wanted to go and plug the back door and secretly send Zhen Kexiao to Yanzhou. ”

"Didn't Zhen Kexiao enter the Ten Thousand Swords Gate?" Fifth Ting put aside the tea bowl, "This young man is still worried about Zhen Kexiao when he burns like this, and the master is afraid that he will not be able to keep people." ”

Jiang Guo picked his feet and said, "I'm curious, why did Master keep this kid." ”

Fifth Ting picked up the footbell on Yuanji's feet and looked at it, and found that the handwriting was scratched with a sharp gap, and he vaguely saw two words written.

Music and literature.

She said: "This young man may be Le Wushuang's son, and the footbell was given to Le Wushuang by the master." ”

"Fifth Senior Sister." The bead curtain was suddenly lifted, and a young man in a long gauze robe walked in, and he arched his hand and said, "I'll get the medicine." ”

"Senior Brother Taijing." Fifth Ting smiled, "Still coming to pick up medicine so late?" ”

Liu Taijing smiled, and when his eyes swept over the footbell, his face was stunned, and he immediately said: "Senior brother broke through the realm in the back mountain, I should go back to run errands." ”

Fifth Ting went to dispense the medicine, handed it to Liu Taijing, and said, "The night is dark, I won't send it." ”

Liu Taijing said goodbye and went out, took two steps, and suddenly slowly returned his hesitant eyes, stared at the dimly lit paper window of Baicaotang, and fell into deep thought.

……

Five days later, Yuanji's injuries gradually stabilized, and Qi Zhou Zhenren came to inspect him several times and asked about his origin and the reason for his injury.

Yuan Ji replied honestly, he knew that cultivators did not interfere with the iron rules of the world, so he simply explained his identity. And Qi Zhou Zhenren didn't answer after hearing this, so he left.

On the day of the day, Lu Hanxiao came to see him and brought him a letter from Lu Bupin.

Yuan Ji changed into a water satin plain clothes and looked at the letter.

Lu Hanxiao saluted and said, "Real person, Yuan Ji's body recovered so quickly, it is all the blessing of rejuvenating thanks to the real person's skillful hand." This time, I came to pick people up. ”

Qi Zhou Zhenren sat in a high position, but he was still short Lu Hanxiao, he stroked his white beard, and said, "It's okay to take people back, but I have something to ask Yuan Ji a few words." ”

Hearing this, Yuan Ji lowered his hand, raised his head, and said: "The grace of a real person to save his life, Yuan Ji has nothing to repay, and a real person asks, Yuan Ji will never say half a lie." ”

Qi Zhou Zhenren jumped off the seat, approached and pointed to his footbell, and asked, "Who gave you this footbell?" ”

Motoyoshi said, "I've been wearing it since I was a child, and I don't know either. Maybe only my parents know. ”

Qi Zhou Zhenren put his hands behind his back and asked: "This footbell is related to your life experience, do you want to know?" ”

Yuan Ji was slightly stunned, since he was adopted by Lu Bupin, he has asked many times about the footbell, and he has also gone to jewelry shops and stalls to check the origin of the footbell, but for so many years, there is no clue.

During those years of obsession with his life, he was desperate to know who he really was, who his parents were, and what his name was.

From the moment he took the sword, he abandoned the past, and Motoyoshi was his name.

From now on, from now on.

"I want to know." Yuan Ji nodded, but added, "That's all." ”

Qi Zhou Zhenren knows his life story these days, and he also knows that he has been trained to be a dead soldier since he was a child, and the pain in it is not understandable to ordinary people.

Qi Zhou Zhenren sighed and said: "This foot bell is a small gift I gave to the Yanzhou singer Le Wushuang, when I was trapped in the Sorrowful Demon Realm, Shouyuan was about to end, it was her music that saved me." This footbell grew up with you, and you are most likely Le Wushuang's son. ”

Yuan Ji didn't speak when he heard this, and the fifth Ting held the handkerchief and said: "During the Chongwu period, Le Wushuang's flower boat caught fire, and all the people on the boat were burned to death, and no one survived. ”

Yuan Ji looked at her sideways, saw her looking at herself with a worried face, and knew that she was worried about herself.

"I didn't have a mother since I was a child." Yuan Ji folded the letter and stuffed it back into his sleeve, "It has nothing to do with me whether she dies or not." ”

He said this coldly, like a casual joke, but there was no joke on his face.

"It's no wonder that you have a relationship with her, the fire burned down the entire flower boat, and you were fished up from the river by the palace steward, and the reason for this is also the right number." Qi Zhou Zhenren paused and said, "But in the end, I owe Le Wushuang a love, and I am the most jealous of the path of cultivation, and I want to repay this love." Yuan Ji, I am the elder of the Kaiyuan Valley Medicine Hall, among the four factions, I am the leader in the Dan Dao sect, and no one else can match me, are you willing to join my sect? ”

Yuan Ji raised his eyes and looked at it as if he was scrutinizing, and he said: "Zhenren, I am a fugitive prisoner in Chongdu, and I killed officers and soldiers on the way. Not to mention whether I have Le Wushuang's blood flowing on my body, the people who want to repay the kindness of real people are already dead, I have accepted this love, it's not appropriate, right? ”

He killed officers and soldiers, was a fugitive prisoner, and was hunted down and killed when he entered the WTO. Besides, he was adopted by Lu Bupin since he was a child, even if he is Le Wushuang's son, he has no mother-son love. If he kowtows to his master, it will be a big trouble for Qi Zhou Zhenren, and he will also admit that he is the son of Le Wushuang.

This is a contradiction engraved in his bones as he grows up, on the one hand, he doesn't want to cause trouble, and on the other hand, he doesn't want to admit his mother because of the resentment accumulated in his childhood, he just wants to be Motoyoshi.

The lonely and indulgent Motoyoshi.
