Chapter 68: The Sky of Shaoyang
Twilight haze.
The old road is full of wild grass, flying in the wind, neither the sound of people, nor the horse's hooves, the crescent moon rises on the sky, and the moonlight does not hide the meaning of the depression in the meantime.
A lonely aspen is sighing in the autumn wind, sighing about the shortness of life, and the stupidity of man does not know how to cherish this short life.
There are many tombstones under the aspen.
A couple of children were holding hands and playing, and when they walked into the cemetery, they covered their mouths in horror and quietly withdrew.
They were terrified.
But what they don't know is that these people they are so afraid of are the people who others think about day and night.
Chen Linchuan leaned under the poplar tree and looked at the tombstone, the person in the tombstone was his dream.
A poignant, heart-wrenching dream.
His gaze never took off the flower behind the grave.
Flowers on the other side.
He took a deep breath and reached out to pluck the flower, but suddenly a large hand appeared, grabbed the flower, and then uprooted it.
Chen Linchuan was stunned, the hand that flashed just now could barely be called a hand, but he knew that no one wanted him to have such a pair of hands.
The hand was almost completely rotten, and the flesh sores covered the back of the hand, but it festered in the middle, and the black particles took over the flesh in the hand, revealing the white bones.
He looked up and saw a man.
A scrawny man.
Chen Linchuan didn't know if he should be called a human, but he had a human form, limbs, and a face.
It was an emaciated face, with no flesh left on it, only skin lying on the outside of the bones, and even his lips could see his teeth.
His eyes were like two deep holes, but his eyes were full of hope and joy.
He was laughing.
Very happy smile.
Holding the blood-red flower in his hand, his trembling arm seemed to be about to shatter at the touch of it.
He lowered his head and smiled, "You can't touch it." ”
Chen Linchuan was speechless, in front of such a person, no matter who he was, he would feel fear, not because he was afraid of this person, but because he was thinking: What did he go through to make a person become like this?
He smiled again and said, "Do you know what kind of flower this is?" ”
Chen Linchuan was stunned and said, "Master Huicai said that it is...... Flowers on the other side. ”
He smiled: "It turned out that Senior Brother asked you to come." ”
Chen Linchuan jumped up, took a few steps back, clenched the silver blade in his hand, and shouted, "You...... You are Master Huifan......"
The corners of Master Huifan's mouth grinned, and when the wind blew, his teeth were shaking, but he was not stingy with his ugly smile, he kept laughing, laughing happily, and laughing loudly, as if because he saw the silver blade, "Not bad!" I'm Huifan, but I'm not a master anymore. ”
He grabbed the blood-red flower, seemed to see his own destiny, and said, "This is indeed the other side flower, but it has another name in the Western Regions, Manzhu Shahua. ”
Chen Linchuan almost suffocated, stared at Master Huifan and said, "You...... This...... This is the poisonous flower! ”
Master Huifan nodded, "Yes, this is what that poisonous flower looked like at the beginning, it has not been cultivated by other people's blood, as long as it touches it, it will kill people, unless it ...... Unless you can use the Dharma to transform it and let it absorb your nutrients, otherwise, you will die. ”
Chen Linchuan was shocked: "You are because of it...... That's what it looks like? ”
Master Huifan said: "No, it's just a flower, it has never forced me to eat it, never forced me to dig a grave, how can it be?" It's just a flower. ”
Chen Linchuan was terrified and approached Master Huifan, "Who made you do this?" Are they the gentry? ”
Master Huifan shook his head, his eyes dimmed, and said with a wry smile: "This kind of thing is a worm parasitic on power. And power is like an apple for them, they will corrode it, eat it away, and then leave the whole glossy appearance of power for people to admire, and when the apple is found, there is only an empty shell inside. ”
Chen Linchuan looked at him blankly.
The thin monk sat on the ground, looked at the last red glow in the sky, and said abruptly: "Dajin has pressed me in Shaoyang for fifty years, and the land of Shaoyang has been conceded for three thousand miles, and then five thousand miles, but now Shaoyang is still this piece of heaven, it is precisely because of the power, and it is precisely because of the scholar clan that I came from the Jin country, but I am facing such a hometown, I can only become the nutrients of these insects and provide them with the ability to devour themselves." ”
How can Chen Linchuan not know?
He stared at Hui Fan and said in a low voice, "This ...... Is that why you're doing this? ”
Hui Fan said: "We killed the person you love the most, do you hate me?" ”
Chen Linchuan nodded and said, "Of course." ”
Hui Fan said: "That's right. ”
Chen Linchuan was shocked: "By the way? ”
Hui Fan said: "Back then, the master was forced to go to the Western Regions to retrieve the Four Elephants Jade-faced Golden Buddha, what was hidden in this jade Buddha was the root of Manzhu Shahua, and the master had no choice but to go, but the day before leaving, the senior brother Huitang took a step ahead and left a letter to retrieve the Golden Buddha within ten years. ”
"He is the current Wuxian, although he is younger than us, but we have a deep friendship, knowing that he went away to solve the master's confusion, so he helped to leave the master in the Lingyin Temple."
Ten years later, he came back and was ordered to bring back the Golden Buddha, which also saved the tragedy of the destruction of Lingyin Temple. But how could those people at the pinnacle of power let us get out of the sea of suffering so easily? Thereupon...... The killing began. ”
"Three years of killing, happening all the time, all we have to do every day is to figure out who to kill and make their bodies into what we want...... We agreed that only the five of us would know about it......"
Chen Linchuan shouted: "Why don't you resist! ”
Hui Fan laughed, and blood and tears flowed out, "When the senior brother left, he was nine years old and had already entered the seven-rank realm. Master once searched for the Heavenly Kingdom Temple, and found all the strong exercises in the Shura Disha Pavilion, these exercises are all the world's first and most powerful exercises, and the Buddhism here is also one of the best in the world, 360 methods, and the senior brother did his best to ...... Can...... But he still can't break the day! ”
Chen Linchuan was puzzled: "God? Why break the sky? ”
Hui Fan said: "Shaoyang rivers and lakes are no longer their own rivers and lakes, where the imperial power refers are all seals, this seal is the sky, with this seal, the monks of the rivers and lakes don't want to have a person who exceeds the three grades, the three grades are the heavens of all the monks, and the three realms are the pinnacle of all martial arts!" ”
Chen Linchuan has completely solidified.
Hui Fan said: "The power of Shaoyang's luck, the rivers and lakes it refers to, no one can compete with it, no one can surpass it, even if we are all the exercises of the Shura Disha Pavilion, we can't compete with it...... And how to resist? ”
Chen Linchuan said: "That...... That...... Then you ......"
Hui Fan said: "We also thought about death, but what? When we die, there are others, others will bear the same infamy, the same life is worse than death, and the same will do these despicable things! ”
"If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell? This torment, this pain...... You can only bear it yourself. ”
Hui Fan closed his eyes and sighed: "Gongzi Chen, my life is short, but I am not the same as my senior brothers...... I hate! I hate it even more! I shouldn't have hate, but I still hate! I hate the cowardice of the Shaoyang Dynasty externally, the cruelty of the Shaoyang Dynasty internally, the ignorance of the monarch in the world, the collusion of officialdom, the injustice of the world, and the blindness of God! ”
"I hate!"
He wailed in pain.
"I hate this Buddha for being useless, hating this Dharma for being incompetent, hating this imperial power and luck for being out of this day! World...... No immortals, ......"
He raised his head and said, "After Senior Brother changed his name to Wuxian, I also understood his pain, but I was powerless to do anything but let these people do these dirty things until ...... Celestial marks appear. ”
Chen Linchuan subconsciously raised his head and saw the sky mark that was still glowing dark red.
Hui Fan said: "Sword Immortal Bai Hanshan has used his own strength to tell the monks of the world that the world martial arts, the sky can be broken. That's what we're ...... The reason why she wants to resist, this is also the reason why Miss Shi Qiang will be sent by Huicai, it turns out that ...... We won...... Ahem...... We won. ”
He grabbed Chen Linchuan and said, "Miss Xing was sent by someone, not by us. ”
Chen Linchuan said eagerly: "Who is it?" After he finished speaking, a fierce spirit remembered Bai Yujing's words.
The person who borrowed the fan was the one who killed Xing Yue'e.
He sat on the ground blankly.
Hui Fan said: "It seems that you also know, and you have the same pain as me." ”
Chen Linchuan's face was like ashes, but he still stood up and said in a low voice: "I'll kill him." ”
Hui Fan said: "Kill him, your nine clans will not be protected." ”
Chen Linchuan's face was suddenly flushed, his eyes were like fire, and he glared at him angrily, "Jia Qing! ”
Hui Fan calmly closed his eyes and said lightly: "If one day, you can stand on the head of the scholar clan, and ask Chen Gongzi to bury us under the Great Compassion Tower, we will use it to repay the sins of these unjust souls...... Thank you very much......"
A fire was inexplicably ignited.
wrapped Hui Fan's body inside.
He didn't let out a bitter cry, as if this fire was the most comfortable moment for him.
Glowing through the fire.
Chen Linchuan saw his face.
He was laughing.
Still laughing.
Chen Linchuan knelt down.
At this moment, he shouted loudly, "Huifan! You give me to remember! I will definitely stand at the top of the Shi clan, I will stand at the top of the power of Shaoyang, and not only that...... I also want to open a new heaven for the common people in the world! I will bury you with my own hands, and I will wait until that day. ”
The corners of Huifan's mouth raised, and he said hesitantly in the firelight: "Where is it...... Before...... Please also ...... Protect your ...... My Relic ...... I'll always ...... With you ......"
Chen Linchuan will never forget that dusk.
The remnant sun is like blood, and the wind is like a knife.
At the grave of his beloved, he saw his greatest hatred dissipate like steam with the light of the day, and that night was the hardest night for him.
He didn't cry anymore that night, and he didn't get angry anymore.
It was also this night that he finally understood that anger and crying were useless and could not change anything.
It was as if he had lost all his emotions, and he just spent a long night in the arms of the warmest person ever.
He didn't sleep, he wasn't awake, he saw many, many things.
At last, he picked up the relics that still glittered in the ashes and returned to his courtyard.
Under the watchful eyes of my father and mother, full of worry and hope, I picked up the book.
On that day, he only said one word.
"Qiuyu, I want to join the office."
