Chapter 1 The Night Rain Pierces the Forest, and the Old Man Returns
Looking at the rivers and mountains.
Night.
In March, the spring rain was dripping, and the mountains were a little cold.
Xie An returned from sweeping the grave.
This time, he slept in front of his father's well-dressed mound again.
Although his father has been martyred for two years, he still feels that his father has not left.
The night was dark, but Xie An's footsteps were fast.
It's just because he has a good memory, good enough to remember every leaf in the mountains and forests.
Even with your eyes closed, you can find your way home.
At this time, when he returned, it was already past dinner in the town, and Xie An could still smell the slightest smell of fireworks.
He walked through the lighted streets, lightly in the rain, to the deepest part of the street.
There was his home, a hollow, cold low house.
At this moment, he stood frozen in front of the house because he found a trace of inconspicuous clue.
There were a few more wet fingerprints on the door, like just left marks.
"Someone's home!"
This is Xie An's stress reaction, but it certainly won't be his father.
"If I come back from slaying demons, there will be a green leaf in front of the door, you have to remember."
This is what his father said before leaving, and every time he goes out to practice, he will always re-admonish Xie An.
In my memory, this incident seemed to be very important to my father.
Two years ago, the demon attacked the Tianlong Dynasty and destroyed the lives of the people.
In all major sects, countless chivalrous warriors went down the mountain to kill demons, and never returned.
Among them, there is Xie An's father.
Xie An always remembered his father's words, and even if his father was away, he would still be cautious.
Right now, someone is entering the house, it seems that the person who came is not good!
Xie An quietly moved his steps and slowly retreated behind him.
"Senior brother, it's me!"
A faint voice came from the room.
The voice was very familiar, and Xie An knew that he was his father's only apprentice, He Lingfeng.
Xie An's body trembled, and he said in his heart: "He Lingfeng didn't defect to the division, how could he appear at home?" ”
Xie An secretly retreated behind him, ready to move at the right time.
There was a "squeak" and the door was pushed open.
He Lingfeng drooped his head and staggered forward.
Xie An fully confirmed his identity, and He Lingfeng was still dressed in white as he remembered.
It's just that the white clothes at this moment have been stained red with blood, and there is still blood dripping from the corners of the clothes.
"Senior brother!"
He Lingfeng staggered, leaning weakly against the door frame, looking seriously injured.
Xie An was speechless, just stood vigilantly.
Because my father told me to be cautious with everyone.
He had no way to judge He Lingfeng's origin, at least, He Lingfeng should not have appeared here at this time.
He didn't show up when my father was martyred, and he shouldn't be now.
"Senior brother, I don't have much time."
He Lingfeng struggled to get up, and did not blame Xie An for his caution.
He was short of breath, and with each breath, more blood flowed out.
He Lingfeng shifted his body, and it took a lot of effort to take out a long sword from the storage bag.
"Master's Absolute Immortal Sword, I finally ...... Brought back! ”
"Senior Brother He, what's going on?"
Seeing that He Lingfeng's intention was clear, Xie An quickly stepped forward to help.
"This is the healing pill left by my father, take it quickly."
"No, don't waste it, I'll use Yuan Ying to lure away those who are tracking, and time is running out."
"He Shi ......"
"Don't talk, listen to me."
"The cause of the master's death is strange, the master summoned me to buy wine that day, and I found out that the master was martyred when I came back."
"The master's body and sword are missing, and I have found it after several searches...... It was actually hung above the mountain gate by the Linglong Gate. ”
"Those people slandered the master for defecting to the demon clan, and they were ashamed of the Absolute Immortal Sword, which attracted thousands of scolding."
"But, Master's physical body, nowhere to be found......"
"I ...... He was ashamed of his Master's teachings and suffered such humiliation. ”
After that, He Lingfeng coughed, and every time he coughed, he used all his strength.
Xie An's body trembled, and he knew that his father, who regarded it as his duty to protect the common people, would never be able to pass demons.
In an instant, the father's tall figure resurfaced in front of him.
Every time I leave the house, it's the morning sun.
The morning breeze blew his father's clothes, but he couldn't blow his father's ambition.
Every time he practiced, He Lingfeng was always dressed in white, pestering his father like a fart.
Xie An was jealous and thought that it was the senior brother who took away his father's time.
"Senior Brother He, quick, take the pill to recover!"
Xie An felt pain in his throat and held back his tears, but the pill was blocked by his senior brother.
"They've found the baby...... Senior brother, you have to be careful of the people of the Linglong Sect. ”
A mouthful of black blood overflowed, He Lingfeng grabbed Xie An's hand hard, and said with great effort: "When I was taking the sword for my master, I heard the conspiracy of Linglong Pavilion, but I don't know the specific plan. ”
"I only know that three years later, the world will kill the machine, junior brother...... Foolish brother is worried about you......"
"Master doesn't like you to practice as soon as possible, this matter ...... The foolish brother has violated his teacher's wishes. ”
"Senior brother...... If you are interested, you can go to the Liuyun Sect and take this token to find Elder Mo of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion. ”
Xie An was just about to speak, but he saw He Lingfeng quickly erase the mark of the storage bag, and said with difficulty: "Dripping blood!" Fast! ”
Xie An's eyes were full of tears, and he bit his index finger hard, and the blood mixed with the rain dripped into the bag and disappeared into the bag in an instant.
He Lingfeng recited the mantra lightly, and then sighed: "Senior brother, when you build the foundation, this will be a congratulatory gift from the foolish brother!" ”
Xie An heard an unwilling farewell, tears fell like broken beads, and said sadly: "Senior brother, if you leave, who else do I have!" ”
"Senior brother, the foolish brother will go to the master first to make amends."
"It's time, junior brother, you have grown up, the caution just now, it's very good......"
As soon as the words fell, a loud bang came from a distance.
Rumble!
In an instant, the thunder rolled and the wind rained, that was He Lingfeng's last will.
"No!"
Xie An didn't dare to cry loudly, He Lingfeng's self-detonation was his brother's last protection.
He couldn't let his brother die in vain.
After the loud noise, everything was silent, and the rain suddenly stopped.
The sound seemed to remind Xie An that there was no one close to him in this world.
"Linglong Gate!"
The murderous intent in Xie An's eyes dispersed, and he took He Lingfeng's body back to the low room.
It was a long night.
Xie An accompanied the senior brother who no longer spoke until dawn.
On the mountainside of Wangjiang, Xie An stood in front of two earthen bags with no tombstones, and he raised his hand to spill the spirits.
"Father, senior brother, we are finally together again."
"Father, the child has no cultivation as a body, but he understands the truth that the hatred of killing his father is not shared."
"The child is ready to go to the Liuyun Sect to practice, avenge his father and senior brother, and correct his father and senior brother's name!"
"Father, don't blame Senior Brother! The child thinks that what the senior brother said is good! ”
"Please don't blame the child, in the coming year, the child will definitely bring the best bamboo leaf wine!"
……
After saying that, the young man kowtowed again and again, and stood up in the wind.
"This time I went to the Liuyun Sect, and the great revenge was not avenged!"
The young man raised his head and drank, and the wine entered his throat, burning a sea of fire and driving away the cold in the mountains.
The young man carried a long sword on his back, and the wine bottle hung on his waist, and when he turned around, he strode forward without looking back.
Behind him, there seemed to be two tall figures standing with their swords in their hands, staring at each other.
