Chapter Forty-Seven: One Cut
A person came from afar, Duan Qingyang recognized it at a glance, it was the figure of his sister Duan Qingyu, he felt bad, the main purpose of Kuang Wenheng's visit was to ask about his sister Qingyu, and now I don't know how my sister knew that several of them were here, and came to find out what was going on with them.
Seeing Duan Qingyu getting closer and closer along the river, the smile on Kuang Wenheng's face became stronger, while Chai Mokong's face became more and more ugly. Duan Qingyang saw everything in his eyes, anxious in his heart, but he didn't know what to do.
Duan Qingyu waved her hand to this side, she was both happy and surprised at the moment. I was happy to see Chai Mokong and Duan Qingyang again, and I was surprised that just a few days after returning from the Chiri Sect, the master ordered her to come to the Sigh Pavilion on the riverside to see the two of them again.
When he approached the Sigh Pavilion, Duan Qingyu saw the appearance of another person who had come with him. At first glance, it felt a little familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere, and then thought carefully: "Isn't this exactly the person who bumped into me in the Red Sun Sect?"
There was a living person, Duan Qingyu was embarrassed to be too casual, and politely bowed his hand to Kuang Wenheng: "Duan Qingyu has seen senior brother. I was really embarrassed last time in the Red Sun Sect. Dare to ask what the senior brother is called?"
Kuang Wenheng smiled: "Senior Sister Qingyu, my surname is Kuang, and my name is Wenheng." ”
"It turned out to be Senior Brother Kuang. Master told me that Senior Brother Chai and Qingyang would be waiting for me at the Sigh Wave Pavilion today. I don't know what's wrong with you?" Duan Qingyu looked at Chai Mokong with a gloomy face, and then looked at Duan Qingyang's restless appearance, feeling that something was not right.
"Qingyu, I have something to say to you. Chai Mokong said in a low voice, this was the first time Chai Mokong had spoken since he traveled, he frowned, paused, and suddenly said: "Qingyu, we ...... Let's break off diplomatic relations. ”
"What did you say?" Duan Qingyang exclaimed.
Duan Qingyu was also speechless in surprise, his eyes widened, and he stared blankly at Chai Mokong.
Chai Mokong let out a long breath, his brows were loosened, he looked at the ground under his feet, and said coldly: "Duan Qingyu, from this moment on, we are no longer a couple, and I will not double cultivate with you in the future, I'm sorry." ”
Every word was like a sharp knife piercing Duan Qingyu's heart, and her originally clear eyes instantly dimmed. "Did you come here from the Red Sun Sect all the way to tell me this?" her voice was so calm that it didn't fluctuate in the slightest.
"Yes. I...... I'm already in love with other women. That's the end of our relationship. Chai Mokong's head never lifted.
"Senior brother, you ......" Duan Qingyang didn't know what to say anymore.
Duan Qingyu straightened his thoughts for a moment: "You're lying to me." Why didn't you say it when I went to see you a few days ago? How did Master know that you were in the Sigh Pavilion? What's more, why did you say this kind of thing in front of outsiders?"
Duan Qingyang suddenly shouted: "Letter! It must be that letter! Sister, your master only knew that we were here after reading the letter written to her by Elder Kuang, and all this was arranged!"
"Elder Kuang......" Duan Qingyu understood a little, the surname Kuang was not a common surname, presumably that Elder Kuang had something to do with Kuang Wenheng.
"Elder Kuang is Senior Brother Kuang's father!" Duan Qingyang added.
Duan Qingyu's gaze suddenly turned to Kuang Wenheng, who was smiling, and the image of the elder who was the first on the right seat in the Xihe Hall that day suddenly appeared in his mind, which was really similar to Kuang Wenheng in front of him.
Kuang Wenheng saw Duan Qingyu staring at him, and explained with a smile: "Yes, that letter was indeed written by my father to Master Ling, and it mentioned that Senior Brother Chai was empathetic and wanted to cut off contact with you, but my father was worried that you wouldn't be able to accept it for a while, so he asked me to accompany Senior Brother Qingyang to come together." Speaking of which, you should also be grateful to your father for thinking about you. ”
"For my sake? Duan Qingyu's heart became clearer and clearer, thinking about his depressed appearance when he saw Chai Mokong just now, it must have been Kuang Wenheng's father and son who used some means to force him to do this. As for the reason, recalling that Kuang Wenheng stared at himself directly when he was in the Red Sun Sect, he knew why.
"Sister, you don't want to listen to his nonsense. After you left that day, he came to my residence and said that he wanted to double cultivate with you. I told him at the time that you and your brother were a couple. Since then, the senior brother has become reticent and depressed. Now that he's coming to tell you such ridiculous things again, he must be playing tricks on all this!" Duan Qingyang was so anxious that he roared.
Listening to Duan Qingyang's words, Chai Mokong's brows that had just loosened were furrowed tightly.
"Qingyang, don't quarrel yet!" Duan Qingyu looked at Chai Mokong, who lowered his head, and asked him, "I just want to ask you one thing, do you really want to cut off contact with me?"
As soon as Chai Mokong opened his mouth, Duan Qingyu preemptively said, "I'll answer me after thinking clearly!" I won't ask you a second time!"
"I ...... I ......" Chai Mo didn't say anything for a long time.
Kuang Wenheng's hand was firmly clasped on Chai Mokong's shoulder: "Senior Brother Chai, you have to think carefully before answering." lest the future ...... Regret!" When he said the word "regret," he also made a special accent.
Chai Mokong sighed, raised his head, and seemed calm: "I've thought it through." Qingyu, I'm sorry. ”
Kuang Wenheng took his hand away with satisfaction and sat down on the bench in the pavilion leisurely.
Duan Qingyang guessed correctly, all of this was indeed his ghost. After seeing Duan Qingyu in Chiri Sect that day, Kuang Wenheng has been thinking about her. Later, he learned that the beautiful woman turned out to be Duan Qingyang's sister, and she was already in love with Chai Mokong, so a vicious plan was brewed in his heart.
Kuang Wenheng first found Chai Mokong and asked him to break up with Duan Qingyu, but Chai Mokong naturally refused. So Kuang Wenheng promised that if Chai Mokong did what he wanted, he would receive a top-grade immortal sword, and he could also get a copy of the Chiri Sect's highest immortal cultivation secret book, "Yuyang Sword Book". Chai Mokong knew that what Kuang Wenheng said was not empty words, his father was the great elder of the Red Sun Sect, and it was not difficult for him to do these things. But Chai Mokong was unwilling to exchange love, so he refused solemnly.
This answer was already expected by Kuang Wenheng, and if the lure failed, he began to coerce. Kuang Wenheng used his future future of cultivating immortals to blackmail Chai Mokong. As Kuang Wenheng, it is not difficult to secretly bury an ordinary disciple by means of Kuang Wenheng. Chai Mokong was resentful, but he was helpless. Kuang Wenheng's domineering is well known in the Chiri Sect, but because of his identity, it is difficult for others to say anything. After thinking about it for a long time, Chai Mokong had no choice but to agree to compromise, which led to today's scene.
Duan Qingyu's heart was cold, and Chai Mokong's performance made her extremely disappointed. For many years, although they didn't meet much, Duan Qingyu had always thought that his relationship with Chai Mokong was indestructible, but now that Chai Mokong said such heartless words in front of him, Duan Qingyu felt dizzy in his head and almost couldn't stand.
Duan Qingyang hurriedly hugged his sister and scolded Chai Mokong hatefully: "Senior Brother Chai, I really misjudged you!"
Chai Mokong bit his lip, as if he couldn't bear it, but he obviously cared more about the playful gaze behind him.
Duan Qingyu was supported by his younger brother, sat down slowly, and sighed: "Okay, you and I will be cut in two from now on." I don't want to see you again!" She slowly closed her eyes, and two lines of tears flowed down her beautiful face.
Chai Mokong didn't say anything, and silently left the Sigh Pavilion. Duan Qingyu still couldn't help but turn his head to look at his departing back.
Kuang Wenheng stood up, his expression was as if he had watched a good show. Seeing Duan Qingyang's vicious eyes, Kuang Wenheng grinned and wanted to pat Duan Qingyang's shoulder, but was slapped away with a palm. He was not angry, he looked at Duan Qingyu who was in tears again, and left with his hands in his hands.
Chai Mokong and Kuang Wenheng walked away along the riverside path, and only the two sisters and brothers were left in the sighing pavilion.
"Sister, don't be sad for someone like Senior Brother, we all misjudged him!" Duan Qingyang comforted.
Duan Qingyu wiped away his tears with his sleeve, shook his head slightly, and said wistfully, "You don't understand." Mokong must have been forced by Kuang Wenheng by some shady means. Did you see Kuang Wenheng's expression just now? It was satisfaction, pride, and rampantness. Everything went as he wanted, step by step according to his plan. It would have been nice if I hadn't bumped into him that day......"
Duan Qingyang gritted his teeth in anger: "I didn't know that guy was secretly making trouble? He has long been famous for being domineering in our sect, I just didn't expect that Senior Brother he would compromise." ”
"His father is a Great Elder, and this transcendent status is destined to make Mokong unable to fight him. I'm worried now that Kuang Wenheng might force me to double cultivate with him. After Duan Qingyu was sad, he gradually calmed down and began to think about the current situation.
"What should I do then?" Duan Qingyang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. My sister is in crisis, but there is nothing he can do.
"Although I don't know what means Kuang Wenheng will use, I will never give in. When I get back to Master, I'll find out what was written in the letter Kuang Wenheng brought. Qingyang, don't worry about your sister after you go back, concentrate on cultivation, don't conflict with Kuang Wenheng, what he wants you to do, you have the right to do what he says, do you hear?" Duan Qingyu admonished. She knew very well that Duan Qingyang had been a straightforward character since she was a child, and for her sake, maybe she and Kuang Wenheng were openly opposed, so it would be Duan Qingyang who would suffer in the end.
"Okay, I've got to catch up with them, sister, go back too." After returning to the sect, I carefully paid attention to Kuang Wenheng's new movements. If there is a sudden change, I will immediately ask someone to carry a letter to you. With that, Duan Qingyang quickly left the Sigh Wave Pavilion.
After seeing his younger brother go away, Duan Qingyu sat alone in the Sigh Pavilion for a long time. The river breeze blew in the face, and a green silk flew in the wind. She squinted her eyes at the place where the water and the sky met in the distance, and sighed in her heart at the injustice of fate.
The sky is gradually overcast, the bright sun has disappeared, the river wind is blowing more and more fiercely, and on the wide river surface, waves rise with the wind, lapping the river bank wave by wave.
"It's time to go back......" Duan Qingyu muttered to himself, silently walking out of the Sigh Pavilion.
In the wind, raindrops drifted sporadically, but Duan Qingyu did not speed up his pace. Gradually, the raindrops intensified, drifting on the face in the direction of the wind. Duan Qingyu has liked rain since she was a child, and likes to play and play in the rain, but today's rain is as cold as her heart now, so cold that she can't help but tremble. Soon, her whole body was soaked, she looked up at the gray sky, and secretly said in her heart: "Clear rain, clear rain...... My father and mother gave me this name because they wanted me to be as pure, high and elegant as the rain, but now I am deeply immersed in the mud. O clean rain, how great it would be if you could wash away the sludge of the world and wash away the stain of human nature......"
The road on the banks of the Jiangtian River is not long, and Duan Qingyu hopes that this road will never end. Seeing the gate of the Cold Moon Sect getting closer and closer, she almost lost the courage to step in. She was scared, afraid to find out that her master, whom she had always respected very much, was also involved in Kuang Wenheng's vicious plan. Duan Qingyu braved the heavy rain so lonely, standing in front of the sect, looking at the three big characters of "Cold Moon Sect" on the plaque of the sect, and was stunned.
The disciple guarding the door ran over with a paper umbrella to help Duan Qingyu cover it, and it took three consecutive "Senior Sister Duan" to wake her up from her confusion.
She walked through the door with a paper umbrella. Due to the rain, it was deserted everywhere in the Cold Moon Sect. The sound of raindrops "crackling" on the umbrella seems so monotonous. Duan Qingyu walked along the familiar road and slowly walked to his residence. Master's room was in the third room next door, she put away her umbrella, walked to Master's room, raised her hand and wanted to knock on the door, but suddenly hesitated. Just as she was hesitating, Master's voice came from inside the room: "Is it Qingyu? ”
Duan Qingyu took a deep breath and pushed open the door.
Yin Xuyao, who was meditating, opened her eyes. Seeing Master's face, Duan Qingyu couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. Since she entered the cultivation of the Cold Moon Sect at the age of twelve, Master has always cared for her. More than ten years ago, when the news of the death of his parents came to pass, Duan Qingyu threw himself into the arms of his master and cried. In Duan Qingyu's mind, Master has always been comparable to a loving mother.
Seeing that Duan Qingyu's whole body was wet and his eyes were red, Yin Suyao sighed softly and said to Duan Qingyu, "You sit down." ”
Duan Qingyu cautiously asked, "Master......" Just shouted, but she hesitated whether to continue, if Master really participated in Kuang Wenheng's plan, should she blame Master?
"Qingyu, you must be very sad, it's really hard for you. Yin Suyao comforted.
"Master, it turns out that you know everything......" Duan Qingyu choked up.
"yes...... Do you blame Master for not helping you?"
"Don't dare, don't dare...... It's just, it's just ......" Duan Qingyu swallowed.
"You must be curious to know the contents of that letter, right?" Yin Suyao knew that Duan Qingyu was inconvenient to speak.
Duan Qingyu nodded silently.
"See for yourself. Yin Suyao took out the letter from her bosom and handed it to her.
Duan Qingyu took the envelope and wrote: "Elder Yin of the Cold Moon Sect personally opened." I opened the envelope, pulled out the letter paper, and unfolded it tremblingly.
"Elder Yin, since the last time the elders of the two sects met on the banks of the Jiangtian River, they haven't seen each other for a long time, I wonder if Elder Yin's skills have improved again?
This time, I will revise a book, just for the matter of Xiao'er Wenheng and Lingtu Duan Qingyu.
I know that Duan Qingyu and my sect's disciple Chai Mokong fell in love, and wanted to form a Taoist couple in the future, but the child fell in love with Duan Qingyu at first sight, and decided not to marry this person.
Chai Mokong and Duan Qingyu have been in love for a long time, and forcibly interfering is not moral. However, if Chai Mokong took the initiative to give up, Xiao'er would naturally have the opportunity to form a double cultivation with the disciples. Fortunately, Chai Mokong has recently given up and wants to promote the good things of the child and the disciples.
This time, the special messenger sent this letter to Elder Yin together with Chai Mokong and Duan Qingyu's brother Duan Qingyang, the main purpose was to let Chai Mokong and Duan Qingyu explain the matter clearly in person and make a decision. Duan Qingyu must have been very sad when he arrived, and implored Elder Yin not to be surprised. I don't ask Elder Yin to persuade Duan Qingyu to pour out his affection to Xiao'er, I just ask not to obstruct this matter, so as not to expand the impact.
Xiao'er and Chai Mokong will wait for the disciples at the Sigh Wave Pavilion on the bank of the Jiangtian River on the morning of the day after Elder Yin received the letter, hoping that Elder Yin will inform him. Thank you very much!"
Duan Qingyu sobbed and read the letter, and finally sighed helplessly. Master didn't know Kuang Wenheng's plan, but Kuang Difeng also asked Master not to obstruct it. In terms of status, Kuang Difeng, as the great elder of the Red Sun Sect, is a little higher than Yin Suyao. Moreover, Kuang Wenheng is the son of the Great Elder, and Duan Qingyu is just an ordinary immortal cultivator of the Cold Moon Sect.
On the surface, the wording in Kuang Di's Fengxin is very pertinent, and he keeps saying that "forcible interference is not moral", but in fact it is not. The initial temptation was not mentioned for the time being, and then Kuang Wenheng threatened Chai Mokong with the future of cultivating immortals, this is the toughness of the means. The letter said that Chai Mokong took the initiative to "give up" his relationship with Duan Qingyu, but in fact, he was forced to be helpless, and he chose the lesser of two evils. In addition, Kuang Difeng pleaded with Yin Xuyao to "don't obstruct this matter", the implication is that she must not intervene, and the latter sentence "so as not to expand the influence" has a deep meaning. What exactly does this "influence" mean, Yin Xuyao doesn't want to know, and she doesn't dare to know. All in all, Kuang Difeng's purpose in writing this letter was to cut off the aid of the elders of the sect to Duan Qingyu.
Duan Qingyu stared at the letter paper and remained silent.
"Qingyu, forgive the helplessness of the teacher. A thousand mistakes, the teacher shouldn't have asked you to go to the Red Sun Sect to deliver a letter last time. Alas!" Yin Suyao felt sad for her apprentice.
Duan Qingyu folded the letter again and put it in the envelope, and said softly: "Master, why is it wrong? Master knows that Qingyu has not seen his brother and Senior Brother Chai for a long time, so he specially sent Qingyu to deliver the letter, and by the way, he was able to visit them, and Qingyu was grateful. It's no wonder that Qingyu was unfortunately taken by that domineering person, and so many people were sad. ”
Yin Suyao looked at Duan Qingyu with pity: "The main root cause of this matter is the arbitrariness of Kuang's father and son, but it's a pity that the teacher can't help you." I want to ask you, what are your plans for the future? Kuang Difeng and Kuang Wenheng's plan is definitely more than that, have you thought of a way to deal with it?"
Duan Qingyu shook his head: "My countermeasure is that I would rather never marry for the rest of my life, and I will never double cultivate with him." Even if Kuang Wenheng could cover the sky with one hand in the Red Sun Sect, he couldn't cover the sky of the Cold Moon Sect. ”
Yin Suyao shook her head again and sighed: "Qingyu, there are some things that you still think too simply. ”
Duan Qingyu's heart froze, and he hurriedly asked, "Master, did you guess what they were going to do?"
