Chapter 20: Cold Lights, Lonely Nights, Far Journeys [3]
Yuan Shan stood beside the Cold Lantern Man.
The cold lamp man holds a cold lamp in his hand.
Jin Peng's expression was dumbfounded.
This is something that no one can imagine.
No one could have imagined that Yuan Shan would be the granddaughter of the Cold Lantern Man.
No one would have thought that the Cold Lantern People would come to this Yangwen Town.
Jin Peng knows the cold lantern people.
And I know it very well.
Kyushu sky.
Cold lights.
The crack in the sky can be repaired.
Jin Peng finally stood up and bowed to the cold lantern man.
The cold lantern man looked at Jin Peng's figure.
There was a slight gentleness in his cold and majestic eyes.
He also knows how to be polite.
Just so many years.
There really wasn't anyone else to be polite to.
Even the Five Kings are no exception.
But to the young man in front of him, Jin Peng.
He knows it all out.
His background.
His martial arts cultivation.
Everything is clear.
Especially his background.
Let the cold lantern people seem to see another self.
He certainly doted on his granddaughter.
But it's far from being so smooth.
You must know that his every move can set off stormy waves, and he can't show his face easily.
The reason why the cold lantern people were able to come to this Yangwen Town with Yuan Shan.
What's more, it's just that he wants to see this Jin Peng.
But when he looked at Jin Peng.
His eyes stayed on Liu Ruiying's body for a long time and never left.
Yuan Shan followed her grandfather's gaze and also looked at Liu Ruiying.
They had met before.
Just when Yuan Shan was angry and threw porcelain.
But she didn't care too much about Liu Ruiying.
If a woman already has someone in her heart.
No matter how good other men are, they won't take a second look.
What's more, Liu Ruiying's age is really too young.
Cultivation, the status is too low.
When Yuan Shan already had Jin Peng in his heart.
All she cares about is the woman next to Jin Peng.
It seems to be an intuition.
She stared at the moon flute.
Yuedi and Jin Peng obviously don't have much intersection.
But a woman's intuition of her rival in love is comparable to the estimation of the Supreme Onmyoji on the Heavenly Dao Gangchang.
Jealousy with the embankment.
Yuan Shan's heart only had these two thoughts at the moment.
The embankment still makes sense.
But jealousy is too unfounded.
It's just that with such a mentality, Jin Peng, as a man, is completely incomprehensible.
It was also because Yuan Shan was always pestering him that he felt that all this was taken for granted and nothing was done.
Besides, what he cares more about is that the woman Yuan Shan always lies to him.
At least her grandfather is a cold lamp person, Jin Peng doesn't know at all.
However, this made Jin Peng live a very happy life.
Even Liu Ruiying has some understanding of this truth.
But it wasn't his own experience, it was what the old stableman told him.
The old stableman had no worries, no wives and no heirs, except for the horses in the stable.
This will naturally arouse Liu Ruiying's curiosity.
But the old stableman didn't tell him about his past.
But he told him that if you want to be pleasant, don't listen to the truth that women say.
Because when they tell the truth, they are often very serious.
When he lies, he becomes sweet and lovely.
And even if you hear it's a lie, don't expose it.
There is only one consequence of debunking, and that is endless quarrels.
Moreover, before a woman tells a lie, she has already thought of a very satisfactory explanation.
Even if you hear this explanation, your ears are full of holes.
They will never admit it.
But unconsciously, Jin Peng didn't find out.
Yuan Shan's love for him is too deep......
It's just that Yuan Shan didn't notice his grandfather.
His grandfather, the Cold Lantern Man's gaze was no longer focused.
There was only snow in his eyes.
White snow.
knee-deep snow.
Covering the entire silent mountain field.
Silent, and solemn mountains.
Under the mountains.
Giant pines towering to the sky.
Tightly clustered, lonely and solemn mountain villa.
Blood, bright red blood.
But half of it solidified because the temperature was too low.
It's a little dark.
Even so, it is bright and dazzling when it is reflected in the white snow.
The group broke through the silent footprints of the mountains and fields, and also broke through the silence of the temple.
One man, one bloody man.
Walking on the snow with a baby in your arms.
Crashed headlong into the lodge.
The door opened, and I saw a tall and strange-looking middle-aged man, leaning down and slowly picking up the baby from the crook of the bloody man's arm.
He reached out again and tried the bloody man's breath.
Then, he sighed pathetically.
for the bloody man is gone.
The tall and strange man then looked at the infant baby.
The baby, with his eyes open, did not cry or make a fuss.
Looking at him in extreme silence.
His heart trembled, and he protected the baby on his chest, as if he was caring for this unexpected fate.
"Master, master looks at my thorns, and there is no false hair. ”
"Master, master saw my ghost step, and immediately stopped. ”
"Master, master looks at my cold night meteor, condensing into ice. ”
In front of the villa stood three middle-aged men.
was smiling at a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy cultivating martial arts.
The crisp sound struck their heartstrings continuously.
"Xing'er rest, it's time to eat!"
The tall, strange-looking man in the center said.
"Master, I'll practice for a while!
Xing'er said.
Lin Hanxing watched the three middle-aged men slowly walk towards the temple gate.
The middle-aged man who was standing on the right before, like the middle-aged man with a tall figure and a strange appearance, said:
"Senior Brother Huaide, you really haven't looked away! Xing'er is really a genius......
"Yes, yes, it's really a once-in-a-century experience. ”
The middle-aged man standing to the right of Wilder echoed.
It turned out that these three middle-aged men were three wonderful people.
Huaide, Huai'an, Huaici.
The three of them are all born masters.
Wen Xiu Wu is the best in the world.
Under the firmament, in the territory of the Five Kings of Wu.
Even if the people who have reached the extreme realm of the gods and the gods of Kyushu, all the people who mention the three wonderful people are all high mountains and mountains, and they are called great virtues, pure and good.
What Lin Hanxing didn't expect was that when he was eighteen years old, the three masters solemnly told him that he had to leave the villa and go there to the territory of the Five Kings to find the end of the world.
Why?
Lin Hanxing didn't know.
He looked at the three masters in turn, who were also masters, fathers and mothers.
Transparent and pure eyes, the first time clouded with doubts.
In Lin Hanxing's heart.
This is where he grew up, learned, practiced dance, and survived.
The masters are his dearest relatives.
For as long as he can remember, he only knew that there was a master, but he didn't know anything else.
I don't know that the place where I exist is called the human world.
But wherever people grow up, there are parents, brothers and sisters.
But he didn't
And he thought it was as it should be.
"Xing'er, you have a mission on your shoulders!"
Wilder sighed softly.
Eighteen years ago, it was a cold winter.
At the foot of the mountain villa where the three wonderful people are located, there is a Hekun town.
On this day, the courtyard of the Lin family's mansion was brightly lit.
Lin Yaoran, the richest man in Hekun Town, is feasting guests at his home to celebrate the full moon of his young son.
All the people in Hekun Town, rich or poor, were among the invited guests.
Lin Yaoran is gifted and intelligent, and has a gentle temperament.
The ancestral property grew hundredfold under his management.
Da is also good for the world.
Lin Yaoran strictly followed the ancestral teachings and helped the poor.
With the support of Lin Yaoran, everyone in the entire Hekun Town has their own place, and every household has enough food and clothing, which is a peaceful and grand situation.
At this time, Lin Yaoran raised the wine glass in his hand, his heart was full of joy.
"Lin is very honored to invite all your friends to the forest house!"
Lin Yaoran said.
But the wine in the cup has not yet had time to drink.
The wine glass in Lin Yaoran's hand shattered to the ground.
Immediately after that, a few "bang bang bang" sounded!
At the main table, the wine glasses held by several elders were shattered to the ground.
Lin Yaoran glanced at the fragments of the wine glass on the ground, and was shocked!
"What a familiar secret weapon technique, could it be him?"
Didn't have time to think about it.
Dozens of masked men dressed in night clothes had surrounded Lin Yaoran and his guests in the middle.
Lin Yaoran remained silent, but stretched out his hand to his waist.
"Senior Brother Lin, do you want me to bloodwash Hekun Town?"
One man stepped forward and said.
"I didn't expect that I would live in seclusion here, but I still let you find it. But at this time, the grievances between the two of us should not harm others. ”
Lin Yaoran said.
Then he motioned to his subordinates, and all the guests left in an instant.
Lin Yaoran was calm and relaxed when he saw the last guest walk out of the door.
said:
"Come on!".
The man was slightly stunned, then took a step backwards.
Then one piece slashed at Lin Yaoran's front door.
The blade of the sword is swift, like lightning.
But Lin Yaoran remained silent.
The figure did not move, but it had already flashed the sword.
"Senior brother is still so self-contained!"
Not a single sword.
The man spoke.
He hadn't hoped that the sword would have any effect.
Because he knows his brother.
Get to know Lin Yaoran.
Even now, he looks like he's just a rich man.
However, the cultivation of martial arts is not decreasing, but increasing.
"Aren't you still like this?
Lin Yaoran replied coldly.
"Fifteen years, it's time to let go of ......"
Lin Yaoran was a little emotional.
Deep down in his heart, he still didn't want to be an enemy of this man.
Even if he were going to kill himself, it would be the same.
Otherwise, he would have drawn his sword a long time ago.
"Can't let go of ......"
The man was silent for a moment.
"What are you going to do?"
Lin Yaoran asked.
"You don't have to ask me, just ask it. ”
The man raised his sword.
"Ask the sword?"
Lin Yaoran asked.
"Yes!"
The man nodded.
"It has to be?"
Lin Yaoran still couldn't bear it in his heart.
I had to emphasize it again.
"It has to be so!"
The man was resolute.
The tone is decisive.
"Good!"
Lin Yaoran also put away the last line of unbearability in his heart.
That's how I agreed.
Suddenly, the sword light enveloped the two of them.
Just look at the sword light and the light are integrated.
The whirlwind body of the two of them was wrapped in a dazzling sword light.
In the middle of the fight, a frightened female voice suddenly sounded.
"Senior brother, secret weapon!"
Time seemed to come to an abrupt end.
In an instant, the sword light did not go.
Two voices rang out at the same time.
"Little junior sister!"
I saw a beautiful young woman lying between Lin Yaoran and the man.
And a thorn pierced her throat.
The young woman was already exhausted.
Only the blood gushing beside him.
Lin Yaoran mourned.
Suddenly, a chill ran down his spine, and blood gushed out of his chest.
Lin Yaoran smiled faintly, hugged his wife tightly, and then slowly collapsed......
Until this moment, there was still a faint smile on his face,
But it was this faint smile that angered the other party.
Although he is masked in a strong suit, his eyes are red.
He was like a madman, and he killed anyone he saw, young and old.
In the blink of an eye, nearly 100 people, young and old, were slaughtered all of them.
Then, there is Hekun Town.
Human nature is really hard to change.
Fifteen years have passed, and I can't keep people, but I always have hatred.
Lin Yaoran had obviously hid here, but he still ended up like this.
How can a person retreat in order to be truly liberated?
Where do you want to retreat to not be a river and lake?
The previous Lin Yaoran didn't know either.
He just felt that it would be good to leave and go farther.
But in the end, he still understood.
The famous sword is not romantic, and there are few white-haired deceased.
can leave with a loved one in his arms, and die at the hands of the deceased in the past.
What else can't be satisfied?
Think about it at the beginning, if it wasn't so frivolous, maybe it wouldn't have ended like this.
But it's very frivolous, if you lose three points.
Can it still be counted as frivolous?
Naturally, it is necessary to be unobstructed, and all ten sides will be killed.
"The heavens are vast, the earth is vast, and the earth is vast in the center. The sun is dazzling, the moon is cold, and who is busy when the east rises and the west sets. The gold and silver He Zeng hid in his hands, and in the blink of an eye, the field house became scorched yellow, and only the smell of wine still lingered around the beam......"
This is the last song that Lin Yaoran reverberated in his head.
It was the one in his arms who often sang to him.
————————
Looking at Lin Hanxing's puzzled eyes, Huaide slowly got up. ,
He took Lin Hanxing from Mu Ne to the hillside behind the villa.
There is a grave there.
The inscription in front of the tomb reads: Loyal servant Ling Lin.
On that day, Ling Lin, as the chief housekeeper, risked death to get out and keep the last wisp of incense for the Lin family.
However, the master has passed away, and the young master is young.
The road ahead is unpredictable, but the road back is cut off.
He was so angry that he walked in front of the villa.
In exchange for a death, the young master who is still in his infancy can sleep peacefully.
Lin Hanxing respectfully worshiped Ling Lin and said goodbye to his masters.
His eyes were firm and cold.
The coldness of that gaze made people feel a chill in their hearts.
But he was just like his father back then.
Lin Hanxing also kept in mind the words of his master: eliminate violence and peace, and the world will be the same.
With the instructions of the masters, he went down the mountain.
In front of the Lin family's house.
One person slowly, slowly......
Carefully examine the decadent mansion inch by inch.
The huge mansion can still vaguely see its former glory.
This person's gaze is fierce, and his sword intent is endless.
Then he turned away resolutely,
The corners of his mouth tightened into a single word.
Or one person.
On a rugged mountain road.
He really walked like a fly.
I saw that he waved his arms lightly, and did not deliberately watch the movement under his feet.
In the blink of an eye, it floated past the end of the mountain road and valley.
In the dark willows and flowers, there is a plain thatched house.
There was a tomb on the side of the house, a tomb covered with flowers.
A scrawny old man stood in front of the grave with a cane, hunched on his back.
You could tell he wanted to kneel.
It's a pity that the traces of the years on him are too heavy and too heavy.
It was so heavy that he couldn't kneel anymore.
Lin Hanxing looked at the old man's back from afar.
His cultivation was enough for him to really hear the old man's muttering.
"Senior sister, have you forgiven me? I have scattered all my family wealth and family, and I have abolished my martial arts cultivation at the end of this valley, and I have repented all day long......
What is love?
Is it a demon?
Is it a flame?
Lin Hanxing didn't know, but this love was burned to death after all, destroying everything!
Hearing this, Lin Hanxing resolutely turned around and left.
Eliminate violence, peace and goodness, and the world is harmonious.
Master's teachings were like alarm bells, constantly echoing in his ears.
As soon as the ghost stepped out of his feet, he immediately stopped at the top of a peak.
Stratus clouds are born on the chest, and the mountains are small at a glance.
He let out a long breath.
On the other side of the mountain is what the master calls the human world.
And now, he has already covered the world, but he doesn't know what he should do.
Eliminate violence and peace?
No matter how peaceful the world is, there is no such thing as a gentleman on the beam.
In the past, Lin Hanxing was too stubborn, and he couldn't rub sand in his eyes.
Everything is divided into black and white, and the debate is right and wrong.
But today's cold lantern people don't.
A small evil is not a big mistake.
It's just a different way of surviving.
The world is the same?
In this world, under the governance of the five kings, it is really good.
However, it is still far away from that Datong.
"Grandpa, why don't you speak?"
Yuan Shan asked, shaking the arm of the cold lamp man. "What do you want me to say?"
The cold lamp man looked at his granddaughter lovingly.
His eyes were exactly the same as when his three masters looked at him.
"Tell him to marry me. ”
Yuan Shan pointed at Jin Peng and said.
"What if he refuses?"
The Chill Man asked.
"How could he refuse? Even the five kings have to listen to your orders, how could he, Jin Peng, refuse!"
Yuan Shan said angrily.
After speaking, she also glanced at Jin Peng fiercely.
The threat is self-evident.
"Listen to me, but have you seen me tell me once? Do I ask them to give me silver coins and silk, or a feast of wine?"
The Chill Man asked with a smile.
"But if you open your mouth, grandpa, whether it is silver coins and silk or wine and feasts, they will definitely give it. ”
Yuan Shan said unrelentingly.
He just wanted his grandfather to say something for himself.
As a granddaughter, it's not too much to ask of your grandfather like this.
But as the granddaughter of the cold lamp man, he should not ask his grandfather to say anything biased.
The cold lantern man looked at his granddaughter in front of him.
Although he was taught since childhood, the child's temperament has not been corrected.
He remembered the soliloquy old man he had heard at the grave.
Demons, flames.
Isn't his granddaughter undergoing this kind of test at the moment?
The Cold Lantern Man thought for a moment, and finally shook his head.
"Today is your birthday party, I came in a hurry, and I didn't bring any gifts. I'll share you with a ray of my cold lamp, do you think it's enough to change a glass of wine to drink?"
The cold lantern man said to Jin Peng.
Jin Peng didn't react for a while.
The fire of the cold lamp of the cold lamp man can be described as the treasure of the world.
The fire of the cold lamp protects the body, ten thousand poisons are not close, and hundreds of soldiers avoid it.
Three feet is a forbidden place.
It is said that the fire of the cold lamp of the cold lamp man has already possessed spirituality.
But they are good and evil who can distinguish people's hearts.
Hook shoulders between friends, push cups and change lamps, and don't pay attention to it.
But if there is a sword and a sword, it is a blink of an eye.
The cold lantern man's left index finger approached the lamp.
With a mutter, "Go!"
Immediately, the cold lamp light split into an extremely fine wisp of blue.
This wisp of blue hovered over Jin Peng's head and couldn't be dispersed for a long time.
"Don't you want it?"
The Cold Lantern Man asked in surprise.
The lights are psychic.
If Jin Peng wants to, he will hide in his body.
If he didn't want to, the lights would linger like this.
Jin Peng shook his head and hugged his fists and thanked him.
He didn't know what to call the Chill Lantern Man.
That simply saves the trouble of this title.
Say thank you openly and brightly!
Then he turned his head and looked at the five people who came to seek revenge.
These five people are the most embarrassed at the moment.
Revenge cannot be avenged.
But there is no way to advance, and there is no way to retreat.
A good person can get out of the edict alive, and he is extremely lucky.
Think about it, why are you still so stubborn?
The four of them all looked at the man who was holding the long-handled knife.
The hearts of the five have been scattered.
Jin Peng put away the Ou family's short sword.
walked calmly in front of the five people.
"Have a drink before you go?"
Jin Peng asked.
The five were silent.
Jin Peng is not persecuted.
Just bowed slightly to the cold lamp man on the roof.
The right hand is falsely drawn.
A "please" emerges.
The cold lamp man laughed a few times, but he didn't hold the shelf.
Then he walked down from the roof.
The roof and the ground were empty.
But at the foot of the cold lamp man, it seems that there is an extra staircase out of thin air.
At this moment, he was walking on this invisible staircase, and finally stepped on the ground calmly.
"Grandpa, don't you don't drink?"
Yuan Shan asked.
Although he was dissatisfied with his grandfather's lack of help.
But the fact that the Cold Lantern Man wanted to drink obviously made him even more curious.
"I don't drink because I can't meet people at the right time, let alone people. ”
The Chill Man said.
"And when is it, and who are you going to meet?
Yuan Shan asked.
"Isn't it a great time for someone else's birthday party? As for this man...... But I can't tell you. ”
The cold lantern man said after selling it.
Then he walked into the inn.
"Whoever it is, it won't be you!"
Yuan Shan turned around and said viciously to Jin Peng.
"The joy of the birthday star, I am the birthday star. One is already occupied, and the other is not not. I'm not a greedy person. ”
Jin Peng said.
"As long as it's a man, there's no one who isn't greedy!"
Yuan Shan said with a sneer.
"Greedy people have very few friends, and they don't even entertain. Look at me, I have so many friends, and I go to great lengths to entertain people, I must not be a greedy person. ”
Jin Peng shrugged his shoulders, very casually.
"You are naturally not greedy for this favor and money, you are greedy for a woman's heart!"
Yuan Shan said.
After saying this, she deliberately straightened her back and walked in front of the moon flute.
Like a demonstration, showing off her proud figure.
Her chest is indeed much taller than the moon flute.
Yuedi looked down at herself, then smiled lightly.
"What a kid......"
Yuedi muttered to herself.
But obviously, it was heard by Yuan Shan.
Because Liu Ruiying saw her footsteps, she paused slightly.
"The little friend from the Investigation Division outside the door, can you have a few drinks with me? By the way, tell me about what has happened in this world recently. ”
The Chill Man said.
Everyone's eyes suddenly looked at Liu Ruiying.
They don't know how this hairy boy can be appreciated by the cold lamp people.
Could it be that when you just said that you ran into someone, you ran into him?
Liu Ruiying couldn't make up her mind, but turned her head to look at the moon flute again.
"Don't know how to drink?"
Yuedi said with a smile.
Liu Ruiying was helpless.
had to let Hua Nong follow the moon flute and take the lead in the inn.
"Grandpa, if you want to ask about things, why don't you ask Jin Peng? He is also the person from the Investigation Division, or the Si Fu!"
Yuan Shan said.
But she didn't give up.
"Young people have different perspectives, I'm so old, I just want to talk to young people more. ”
The Chill Man said.
Between the words, two glasses of wine had already been poured.
"But that Jin Peng is not old!"
Yuan Shan pouted and said.
"Not old is not old, but when it comes to being young, the younger the better!"
The Chill Man said.
"Then you, find a baby!"
Yuan Shan did it angrily.
"Last year I went on a long trip because I heard that in the Andong Domain, there was a baby who could speak as soon as he was born. So I went out of my way to take a look. ”
The Chill Man said.
"And then?"
Yuan Shan asked hurriedly.
Yuedi's evaluation of him is really accurate.
Isn't she just a child?
Temper and curiosity are bursts of emotion.
"Then I went and found out that it was a fake. ”
The Coldlighter laughed.
But he made a fool of his granddaughter.
Yuan Shan was even more angry.
The pair of ivory chopsticks in his hand were broken with great force.
You know, this pair of ivory chopsticks can really be regarded as a favorite thing of the cold lamp people.
"The bigger you get, the more you go back!"
The cold lamp man looked at his granddaughter's angry side face and said with a smile.
Then he reached out and stroked the pair of ivory chopsticks that had been broken in two, and it was instantly intact.
Looking up again, the cold lamp man saw that Liu Ruiying was already standing in front of the table, saluting him respectfully.
"Little friends don't have to be polite, the wine table has no seniority. Feel free!"
The Chill Man said.
The first time Liu Ruiying heard this sentence was in Bogu Building.
Obviously, the interval was not long.
But when I hear it again today, I feel like I'm in a different world.
