Chapter 59: Difficult Choice
After having dinner with Mei Xiao and the three of them, Qing Yang's relationship with several people became closer, originally this disciple of the sword maniac rarely came out to do activities, let alone make friends with people. But now, Qingyang has finally got a few real friends.
Qing Yang smiled and thought to herself. "It feels pretty good!"
As soon as they said goodbye that night, a few people couldn't see Xuanfeng for a long time, but they didn't stay here for long, and they went back before midnight. This is Xuan Feng's last night in Wuyang, and he needs some space of his own.
Mei Xiao and Su Ting walked out of the door of Xuanfeng and walked side by side on the mountain road of Wuyang Mountain, the moonlight in the mountains was dim, and the stars were clearer and brighter than usual, Su Ting asked, "The matter of the Dark Death Pavilion is also over, what do you want to do in the future?"
Mei Xiao walked as she looked at the stars in the sky and said, "I have already thought about it, I want to go to the Buddha Land, and I want to find my own life experience." ”
Su Ting nodded, "Good itinerary." ”
As he spoke, Su Ting showed a blank look, "By the way, I don't know who my parents are!"
Mei Xiao said, "Originally, I didn't have any obsession with who my parents were, but all my dreams are telling me what terrible things I have experienced, I hope to know the truth of these things, and I hope that these terrible things will no longer appear in my dreams." ”
Mei Xiao said, the picture of the sky being dark and blood flowing everywhere on the ground came to his mind, that kind of terrifying scene, he never wanted to see it again in his life.
Mei Xiao asked Su Ting, "What about you, what do you want to do?"
Su Ting looked up to the sky and sighed, "What else can I do, I want to travel the world and find more talents for Wuyang, no matter whether Wuyang will decline or not, talents are the first." ”
Mei Xiao looked at Su Ting, "Haven't you thought about living for yourself for a while?"
Su Ting said, "I've thought about it, but it's not realistic, if I could give up Wuyang, I would have gone out to be chic, but I can't." ”
Mei Xiao also looked up to the sky and sighed, "Being born as a Wuyang person, and dying as a Wuyang soul, this is also a kind of fate." ”
The two looked at each other and said almost at the same time, "But it's worth it!"
Su Ting and Mei Xiao looked at each other and smiled, the two of them grew up together, and they were all clear about what the other party was thinking.
......
The morning of Wuyang Mountain is still so bright, the golden maple forest is covered with the whole Wuyang, and the glow of the morning sun shines on the misty mist of Wuyang Mountain, dispelling the sleepiness of the entire Wuyang, and Wuyang ushers in a new day.
On this day, Xuanfeng, the senior brother of the entire Wuyang, was about to go out of the mountain to practice. Although he is not the most powerful disciple of Wuyang martial arts, his kindness to the Wuyang brothers is in everyone's eyes. Therefore, there are many people who came out to bid farewell to Xuanfeng on this day.
Su Ting, Mei Xiao, Yi Yi, and Qing Yang were among them, but they didn't come closer, leaving this last opportunity to say goodbye to Xuan Feng to the other disciples, such as Yang Xian.
When Yang Xian first came to Wuyang Mountain, many disciples were jealous that he was Su Ting's disciple, and no one came out to help him, only Xuan Feng, who not only accompanied him to practice swords, but also frequently pointed out his shortcomings, and did not have the slightest contempt or jealousy, I have to say that Xuan Feng was the person who helped him the most in Wuyang besides Su Ting.
Sending you thousands of miles, you must say goodbye in the end, Xuanfeng finally embarked on his own path of training, and the disciples under the mountain watched Xuanfeng's back gradually disappear, and they also dispersed.
Mei Xiao and Yi Yi also returned to Wuyang Mountain, in the evening, Mei Xiao took Yi Yi to walk in various beautiful places in Wuyang Mountain, and unconsciously, the two walked to the edge of Panlong Lake.
Whether it is day or night, there are always disciples barbecuing food around the bonfire by Panlong Lake, and there are also many mountain couples dating by Panlong Lake, the atmosphere here is always sweet and warm, Mei Xiao and Yi Yi also held hands under the infection of this atmosphere.
You know, although the two people have the same mind, but they are not used to holding hands in front of people, every time the two of them have some ambiguous atmosphere in the house, there are always guests who come in to disturb the atmosphere that has been condensed with great difficulty, so scared that the two always dare not hold hands even in their own rooms.
But there are no worries here, everyone is enjoying a rare relaxation time, couples are walking hand in hand, friends are relaxing eating barbecue and singing, everyone no longer cares about other people's opinions, only the most authentic self here.
Yi Yi took a deep breath, "What a great place. ”
The water in the lake does not have a trace of waves, and reflects the golden red sunset like a mirror. Mei Xiao's favorite time of the day, the sunset accompanied by the smoke in the distance, there is a quiet fireworks atmosphere, looking at such a scene, can make people's hearts also calm.
However, the sunset lasted for a short time, and after a while, it got dark, and there were fewer people by the lake, Mei Xiao pulled Yi Yi, planning to take her to the cliff where Su Ting had taken her to admire the moon, but before she was halfway there, a little disciple ran panting, saying that the head and Su Ting were looking for Mei Xiao, and there were important things to discuss, so let him go to the main hall quickly.
Mei Xiao was a little puzzled, at this time, and it was such a calm period, what would make the master and the little uncle so anxious?
Mei Xiao didn't think much about it at that time, and let Yi Yi go back to his residence first, and he immediately walked towards the main hall. Along the way, the more Mei Xiao thought about it, the more wrong it became, it stands to reason that there shouldn't be anything that needs to be done by himself, and the decisions of Wuyang Hall should be made by Luo Yi and the elders!
Thinking of this, Mei Xiao had a hint of foreboding in his heart, and he quickened his pace and walked into the main hall.
I saw that in the main hall, none of the elders were there, only the head Luo Yi and the junior uncle Su Ting sat in the hall worriedly, looking at Mei Xiao, who almost broke in, and both of them let out a long sigh.
Mei Xiao asked cautiously, "Master, little uncle, is there anything big about you calling me here?"
Luo Yi looked at Su Ting as if asking for help, and Su Ting said unceremoniously, "Look at what I do?
Mei Xiao's ominous premonition became stronger and stronger, and asked, "Master, what is going on?"
Luo Yi sighed helplessly, "There is news about your background, which our disciples found out from the information left by the Dark Death Pavilion. ”
Mei Xiao stared at Luo Yi and didn't speak, waiting for Luo Yi to continue.
Luo Yi cleared his throat and continued with some embarrassment, "According to the investigation of the Dark Death Pavilion, the affairs of the Buddha Land are far more complicated than the other four countries imagined, and even a series of wars within their countries have not been revealed, and the Dark Death Pavilion speculates that a large number of monks and civilians may have died in the internal battles of the Buddha Land. ”
Luo Yi stopped and looked at Mei Xiao, Mei Xiao's expression did not change, and he was even a little puzzled, "What does the war in the Buddha Land have to do with me?"
The worry on Luo Yi's face was even worse, and he picked up a baby swaddling thing beside him and handed it to Mei Xiao, and continued, "Look at this, this is your swaddling clothes when I intercepted you from that team of robbers and monks. ”
Mei Xiao began to look at the swaddling clothes in his hand, just far away, did not find, although this swaddling clothes have passed many years, but still like a new general, different from other baby swaddling clothes, this swaddling clothes have similar lines in general, some places are also decorated with gold thread, at a glance it is not affordable for ordinary people, the swaddling clothes are also delicately embroidered with gold thread Mei Xiao's name and a 'no' word.
Luo Yi saw that Mei Xiao had seen almost it, and continued, "I investigated back then, and this swaddling cloth was a popular style in the Buddha Land back then, and some of it was made of fragments of the robe, and this kind of robe can only be used by the highest-ranking monks in the Buddha Land. ”
When Mei Xiao heard this, she was a little excited, "So, does the master know who my parents are?"
Luo Yi shook his head, "I don't know, it's just a big possibility." ”
Luo Yi continued, "According to the information in the Dark Pavilion and the genealogy table of the Buddha Land, there are only two monks with emptiness in the Dharma name in recent years, one is the Ming Kong you know, and the other is called Empty Wu, who was a famous monk in the Buddha Land back then, and then disappeared inexplicably. ”
Luo Yi paused, "The time when he disappeared was the time when there was a war within the Buddha Land in the Dark Death Pavilion's intelligence. ”
Mei Xiao felt that the saliva in his mouth seemed to be emptied in an instant, and he said dryly, "This emptiness is my father?"
The word "father" was so unfamiliar and stiff in Mei Xiao's mouth that he had uttered the word "father" only a handful of times since he could remember, and he didn't know what words to use to describe his mood at the moment, so he could only continue to be silent.
Fortunately, Luo Yi hadn't finished speaking, Luo Yi said, "I don't know much about this matter, he may not be, or it may be." Because according to common sense, monks don't have children, and your mother is a mystery, and we don't know if they're alive or ......."
Luo Yi didn't say any more, there were too many mysteries in this matter, and his baseless speculation here would not help at all, but would disturb Mei Xiao's state of mind.
Su Ting, who hadn't spoken for a long time, interjected, "Maybe your parents are not dead, you need to find the truth yourself, what we are speculating here is not the truth." ”
Mei Xiao is still silent, if he searches, he is likely to confirm that he is the son of a monk, and then live with a lifetime of infamy, if he does not look for it, he may regret it for the rest of his life, but he can still maintain his original life.
It's a hard decision to make, and once you make it, it can change your life.
Mei Xiao's dry voice sounded in the empty hall, "Let me go back and think about it, okay?"
Su Ting and Luo Yi nodded together, "Okay." ”
Mei Xiao didn't know how he returned to his residence, but when he came back to his senses, Yi Yi had already taken his hand with a concerned look and asked a long question.
Mei Xiao looked at Yi Yi's worried expression and said softly, "Accompany me to enjoy the moon, okay?"
Now, Mei Xiao's heart is a little empty, he doesn't know how to face this matter, he even thinks, if he doesn't check and don't think, will he be able to live more comfortably?
Mei Xiao took Yi Yi to the cliff that Su Ting brought him to the cliff, at this time the moon was hanging in the middle of the sky, and the moonlight was sprinkled all over the earth, and Mei Xiao told Yi Yi everything Luo Yi told him without reservation.
Yi Yi listened quietly and looked at Mei Xiao quietly, "You are very lucky." ”
Mei Xiao was a little surprised, "Why?"
Yi Yi said, "Your background can still be searched, even your parents may be there, no matter what their identity is, whether they are still alive or not, you should look for them." ”
Mei Xiao asked again, "Why?"
Yi Yi stared at him seriously, "Because they are your parents, no matter what time you are, you should never give up looking for them, because their blood is thicker than water with you!"
Mei Xiao was stunned, yes, not for anything else, just because they are my parents.
Whatever their identity, I am their son.
