Chapter 3 The Mystery of Death
After the stage of the competition, there were many doubts left, so the four elders prepared to investigate. The four elders brought many people to Xiang Lin's house to look for someone, but they didn't find anyone, so they had to silently lead the team back to inform the patriarch about the matter.
And Xiang Lin was taken into a cave by his parents after he was knocked unconscious, and it was a cave that seemed to have been arranged by someone a long time ago, where everything was eaten, drunk, and a place to sleep. But because of Tang Yun's punch, the seal of many years was shattered like this.
My parents discussed, it seems that there is no way, I can only tell him the truth, and let him go to Huashan to study in the Sword School. But my mother is still reluctant, after all, he has been by their side for so many years, and he has never been far away, and now let him go alone and go to you let me rest assured.
My mother said hatefully, is there no other way? Do I have to go? I am too pampered to cause today, if I had been more strict in the first place, these things would not have happened, my mother cried bitterly.
At this time, my father hugged my mother, the matter has come to this point, there is no room for maneuver, since things have become like this, we can be regarded as powerless, the future road still depends on him to come out on his own, we are all older, the child has grown up, not the little child Xiang Lin back then.
My father remembered that when he fled with his mother, it was a Venerable One who saved them, and promised him that he would raise him as an adult, and the seal also informed them, telling them not to give him martial arts, because he was born with such strength, but fortunately, I helped him seal it, and now I have something important to go, please wait for him to wait for him in eighteen years if this seal is broken.
Please go to Huashan to learn art, so that you can refrain from it, or you will suffer endlessly. There is also a jade pendant that is his token, so it can't be discarded. This is the mystery of his life, His Holiness told him before leaving.
The father took the liberty of hugging his mother and said, I know that you have suffered all these years, and you have always loved him as if he were your own son, but although our skills are high, we can't control such power, understand?
On the other hand, the four elders are still investigating, only to know that the husband and wife have moved here, because of the war and chaos for many years, there are many people who have moved here, but most of them are civilians. But why is such a high level of martial arts not noticed at all?
The elders could not understand it, while the elders were pondering. Suddenly, someone came to report, it's not good, it's not good, elder, Tang Yaohui is here. The four elders thought to themselves that they must have come for his son, and the four elders had a private meeting, the Tang family has a high status, and we can't afford to offend it because of its wealth and power! Tang Yaohui was appointed as the prime minister of the dynasty, and his sister was the queen, and the family was also very rich.
The four elders came to greet him, and Tang Yaohui was not an unreasonable person, he just wanted to come over and ask for a talk, and he didn't mean anything else. He himself knew that his son was running out because of his family's power. But this time he was seriously injured, and he had to ask for a talk, after all, he was his own son.
The four elders said that the matter is still under investigation, originally today was the day of the martial arts competition of my clan, it can be seen that Gongzi is coming, and we can't say anything, who knows that since Gongzi used the peerless martial arts of the Tang Sect, he used three layers to beat people out of blood, and he couldn't move when he lay on the ground, but I don't know why, that child has a lot of strength on his body, so big that it can't be controlled, and he was seriously injured by a punch.
The four elders went on to say that they are now investigating, and if they find anything, they will give you an explanation. Tang Yaohui didn't dare to act rashly, this was originally a problem for the emperor today, if he really forced a rebellion, it would be a big deal.
Tang Yaohui is a smart person, and he also understands the distinction between right and wrong, and is a very reasonable person. Saying yes, if there is any news, notify me immediately, I just want a result, and I will go with me.
Xiang Lin woke up slowly, and suddenly he didn't know where this was, but he just felt that his body was overdrawn, and his back hurt, recalling the scene of the martial arts competition at that time, he only felt that he was competing at that time, and he didn't know what was going on after that. At this time, my father and mother came, and my mother looked at Xiang Lin and said it was okay!
Xiang Lin was surprised, how could my parents be here? I seem to have seen the scene here somewhere, but I can't remember it. Thinking that my mother knew about the martial arts competition and the secret cultivation, she was scared and a little worried, and hurriedly responded, It's okay, what's wrong! Why are you here?
At this time, my father spoke, and said that Xiang Lin had something to let you know, and let your mother tell you! I said something in a hurry! Mother said, "Come with me." I followed my mother to the room in the cave, and found that there were many patterns on the walls, as if they were painted in stone, and there was a mess of everything, and there was something familiar and unforgettable in my heart, but I just couldn't remember it.
I followed my mother to the room, and she told me to sit on the bed with a sad face. I wondered what had happened, and why was my mother so unhappy? Is it because of me? They must have known. As I thought about it, my mother spoke.
Child, you have grown up, there are some things that must be known to you, you have not been my biological son for so many years, and your father and I were framed back then. Chased and killed by gangsters, it was a Venerable One who saved us, and he had nothing for us to repay him, he just asked us to raise you as a human being.
After so many years, in order not to let you be wronged, your father and I only want you. I don't dare to have children myself, and I have always treated you as my own son. Xiang Lin couldn't accept it in his heart when he heard this, tears flowed out, crying, Mother, you are my biological mother, I am not adopted by you? You are my biological parents, this generation is, don't you abandon me, okay, I know it's wrong, and I won't dare to do it in the future.
At this time, my mother said sadly, do you remember? This is where you were young, and in order to avoid being hunted down, we took you to live here for a few years, and we only left when you were 6 years old. You still remember that you were very naughty and painted messy on the walls. I said, how did I feel déjà vu, I had an indescribable feeling that I believed what my mother said.
The mother continued, "It's not that we don't give you martial arts when the child is a child, but that you have a special physique since you were a child, and you can't control it when you have a lot of strength. If you don't seal it, you will die violently, so you won't be allowed to practice martial arts, and you are afraid that one day you will break through the seal, and you won't be able to withstand the power of the drum, which you have since you were a child.
Your father and I are the Shili Peach Blossom couple who disappeared back then, and we were very powerful bounty hunters in the rivers and lakes back then, specializing in fighting grievances and eliminating violence. Because he was framed by recruits, he was hunted down and killed. Back then, as long as the rivers and lakes heard that it was the ten-mile peach blossom couple, they were all frightened. But he suddenly disappeared ten years ago, and has not been heard from since. Mother went on to say, no matter how high our kung fu is and how thick our internal strength is, we can only help you suppress it temporarily and prevent it from exploding out this time.
I always thought that my parents didn't know kung fu, but I didn't expect that they were martial arts masters, hidden deeply, since they had suppressed so many grievances for me for so many years, and there was no slightest resistance, and the meaning of suppression. I hurriedly said, I'm sorry, mother made you worry, whether I am your biological or not, I will always be your son.
It's me who is sorry for you, you said I didn't listen to you, and I cried in pain. Don't cry, child, mother knows, you have also suffered a lot, and many people have laughed at you, but you must learn to endure words, and you must know that those who can bend and stretch can achieve great things. Do you know what to do, don't be angry, but think calmly and take it seriously. I hurriedly said, I know, I will respect the teachings.
Now that you have grown up, you should be sensible, you know? Now there is only one way, ten years ago, which Venerable said that if the seal is broken, you will go to Huashan to learn the art of the Sword Sect. Only Hua Shan's mental method can heal the drum power in your body and allow you to control it freely. I hurriedly said yes, in order not to let my mother worry about you, I will set off tomorrow and go to Huashan to apprentice at the Sword Sect.
Mother went on to say, this jade pendant is related to your life experience, you must keep it, remember not to lose it. I immediately nodded, and hung it around my neck. Xiang Lin hurriedly said, Then I'll go to rest first, and tomorrow I will go to Huashan to discuss the art of the Sword School?
My father left today, and when I saw where my mother was worried, my father comforted me that it was okay, it was okay, everything would be fine. Mother said, we have offended the four elders, and even more offended the Tang family, they will definitely not let us go.
Father nodded, hugged his mother and said, It's okay, I haven't come here like this for so many years, as long as Xiang Lin is fine. In fact, Xiang Lin didn't know anything about this matter, and he didn't know how much power there was behind the Tang family.
Late at night, my mother walked into Xiang Lin's room alone, sat quietly next to her, looked at Xiang Lin, with a smile, our children have grown up, and it is time to go out. Mother slowly left the room and returned to her room, ready to rest.
