Chapter 334: Star Path (I)
Eleven years ago, the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Wei Shengtong, died, and Wei Shengzhao succeeded to the throne and changed the country name to Jian'an.
In the same year, rebellions broke out one after another in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the world collapsed, and the people were struggling to survive.
And it was also this year that many characters appeared on the stage one after another, among them, Xun Wuya.
Prior to this, Xun Wuya had been away from home for nearly two years, and the hero finally waited for his own situation, this previously unknown little man finally broke into his own fame in the rivers and lakes with his pair of double swords.
But disaster also came.
Taking advantage of the turmoil, his enemies disguised themselves as a gang of rogues and set fire to Xun Wuya's village in the countryside, but this group of people did this against his family. By the time Xun Wuya learned the news and rushed back like crazy, it was already too late.
The fire raged in the small village, and the blood flowed through it, staining the sky red, and a waning moon in the sky was also dimmed in this red, but there was a star, faintly flickering, but no one noticed.
Xun Wuya never wanted to remember that day, but he could never forget it. Like a wild beast, he tore apart almost all the rogues who broke into the village, and he fought his way out of the bloody road and rushed back to his home, where he was greeted by a thin figure.
"Yuzhan !!" Xun Wuya didn't want to think about it, he jumped away, and at that moment, his eyes that were already red finally shed tears, and he was suddenly glad in his heart, only that they were still alive.
But this happiness was extinguished in an instant.
Xun Wuya saw his wife's remains, and also saw clearly what Xun Yuzhan was holding in his arms.
His daughter's chest was pierced by a sharp sword, and she was still staring at those dark round eyes.
Xun Wuya only felt that the sky was spinning for a while, and he was unstable on his feet for a while, and almost fell to the ground. He couldn't describe his emotions, and the word regret was so pale at this time.
Xun Yuzhan knelt on the ground, holding Xun Wushuang in his arms, he was already crying unconscious, only the bean-sized tears kept falling like broken paper kites, his voice was hoarse and choked, repeating a sentence repeatedly.
"Mother...... I'm sorry I didn't protect Musou...... I'm sorry...... Sorry ......"
Xun Wuya slammed his fist on the ground, blood and tears flowed, he got up, staggered, step by step, and walked towards Xun Yuzhan.
He gently patted Xun Yuzhan on the shoulder: "Yuzhan ......"
The latter didn't notice this, but just buried his face on Xun Wushuang's chest, and next to the blade of the sword, he cried even more heartbreakingly, "Wushuang...... I'm sorry...... Sorry ......"
Xun Wuya only felt that his heart was like a thousand knives, he grabbed Xun Yuzhan's shoulders suddenly, trying to wake him up, trying to make him stop looking at the tragic situation in front of him, but he didn't expect that he couldn't move Yuzhan at all, as if what was in front of him was not his son, but a thousand catties of boulder.
The harder Xun Wuya worked, the tighter he felt Xun Yuzhan's hug, and the latter's voice gradually became hoarse and weak, until he couldn't make a sound anymore, only the miserable white lips were still moving, as if he was still reading three words.
"Right...... No...... ......"
"Jade Exhibition!"
"Ah!!h
Xun Wuya's breath urged, and he dragged it desperately, but he didn't want the latter to burst out with unimaginable power, and with a roar, a strange breath surged, like a stormy wave, and Xun Wuya was thrown out.
Xun Yuzhan raised his head and let out a sorrowful roar that pierced the sky, and in an instant, the entire mountain, forest and earth trembled, and it was at this moment that Xun Wuya clearly saw that Xun Yuzhan's body was flooded with a burst of light, deep and long blue.
At this moment, the light soared into the sky, submerged into the sea of stars, and reached the southern sky.
But perhaps this moment is too short, in the sea of stars, only a certain star can be vaguely seen flashing, and then returning to normal, hidden in the sea of stars, and it is difficult to find it.
And Xun Yuzhan also passed this moment, his head slowly drooped and he lost consciousness. But his body, his hands, remained as immovable as a rock.
Xun Wuya struggled to get up, staring at his eyes, looking at such a change in his son in surprise, full of astonishment. Thousands of emotions surged and intertwined, and suddenly he felt extremely tired.
Finally, he collapsed to the ground, on his back, looking at the sky.
The surroundings of the village were still noisy, but just staring at the stars and the moon like this, he felt inexplicably quiet, as if he couldn't hear anything, and Xun Yuzhan beside him also seemed to lose consciousness and fell asleep.
Xun Wuya slowly closed his eyes, squeezed out the last drop of blood and tears in his eyelids, and quietly felt it unwillingly slip from his cheeks, and finally there was no red in front of him, only a boundless darkness.
But there is a star in the sky that is shining brighter and brighter at this moment.
This is the longest night Xun Wuya has ever had in his life.
When I woke up again, it was still night, but I didn't know how many nights it was.
"Jade Exhibition. Xun Wuya spoke softly, but received no response.
"Get out of here with the rest of the village. ”
Still no response.
"It's time to give them a home. Xun Wuya hesitated for a long time before he said miserably.
There was another long silence.
"Nope. After the silence, this time Xun Yuzhan finally responded.
Xun Wuya turned his head, and suddenly there was a little more anger in his cloudy eyes.
"I can still hear the voice of Mushuang. ”
Xun Wuya's expression suddenly became extremely sad, and his eyes turned red again, and he said bitterly: "Yuzhan ......"
"Wushuang is still alive, she must still be alive, I, I don't ......" Xun Yuzhan finally raised the face buried in Xun Wushuang's chest, he hugged her, his knees supported the ground, and he moved his body with difficulty, dragging two blood marks to Xun Wuya's side, his face full of excitement, "Dad, you, listen! Wushuang is still talking! She is still ......"
Seeing his son like this, Xun Wuya finally couldn't suppress his emotions, he got up, hugged Xun Yuzhan tightly, and cried loudly: "Dad, I'm sorry for you!"
Xun Yuzhan struggled desperately, wanting to hug Xun Wushuang to Xun Wuya, and shouted in his mouth: "Dad, you, listen!"
"Yuzhan, I'm ......" Xun Wuya bit his lip tightly, tears rolled in his already dry eyes again, and he didn't know what to say.
"I heard it! I really heard it!"
Xun Yuzhan suddenly broke free from Xun Wuya's embrace, got up and looked around, as if he was looking for something. Then he stepped forward quickly, stooped down and picked up a sword from the ground.
It was a peachwood sword, and it was still stained with blood.
Xun Wuya recognized the sword, which was originally the talisman that his wife asked for Yu Zhan.
At this moment, Xun Wuya suddenly understood something, he raised his head, looked at the night sky, and then made a decision.
"Yuzhan, can you protect Wushuang?"
Xun Yuzhan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded firmly.
"Then let's go. Xun Wuya said slowly, got up, re-shouldered a pair of double swords, buried his wife, and then knelt in front of her grave.
Xun Wuya took a pot of wine and spilled it down.
Xun Yuzhan knelt in front of his mother's grave, shed tears, and kowtowed three times.
After that, the two took Xun Wushuang towards the capital.
Xun Wuya wanted to meet someone.
He knew that he didn't deserve to meet him because of his humble status, but he wanted to give it a try. Even if you want to use the dual swords behind you to kill in front of that person.
Today, there is a person who knows everything and is the strongest Tai Chi here. Xun Wuya knew that maybe only this person could answer for himself and help him.
"Dad, where are we going?" Xun Yuzhan wrapped his sister in a cloth and carried it on his back, looking as if she was asleep behind him.
"The capital. Xun Wuya replied softly.
"Beijing?"
"Hmm. ”
Xun Yuzhan's eyes suddenly lit up with a hint of longing, when he was in the village, he often heard people talk about how prosperous and magnificent the capital was.
But that glimmer of longing faded in an instant, and now was not the time to think about it.
He said gloomily, "Why did you go there? I want to save Wushuang...... She must ......"
Xun Wuya sighed: "Let's go meet someone." ”
"Who?"
"Heavenly Machine. ”
Xun Yuzhan was stunned for a moment, then fell into silence, and then became panicked.
Tianji, from the old man to the three-year-old child in the Great Zhou Dynasty, everyone knows and everyone knows, and there are countless people who want to see the heavenly machine, and his name is much louder than that of the capital. And such a person, how can they see it when they say they can see it?
"Dad, let's ......" Xun Yuzhan hesitated.
"Maybe he can help you, or maybe I can't think of anyone else but him during the whole week. Xun Wuya's tone was still flat, as if he was saying something that was taken for granted.
"But ......" Xun Yuzhan was still worried. He wasn't like that, but after that night, he became a little forward-looking, always afraid of something.
"Don't you want to see him?" Xun Wuya asked.
"Think!" Xun Yuzhan did not hesitate this time.
"That's it. Xun Wuya said slowly, "If anyone stops me, I will use this pair of swords, no matter what I do, I will send you to the front of the heavenly machine." ”
Xun Yuzhan was suddenly silent, but his hands unconsciously climbed onto the peachwood sword hanging on his waist, as if only by touching it could he get a moment of peace of mind.
Xun Wuya looked at his son, his eyes were slightly stunned, he found that Yu Zhan didn't seem to know the changes in his body, and although Xun Wuya himself saw that moment with his own eyes, he didn't know what it was at all. Yu Zhan heard the voice in his mouth, and in his opinion, it was also a fantasy. Xun Wuya has confirmed countless times that his daughter is really dead, really dead, although he doesn't want to accept it, but this is the truth, if it weren't for the momentary vision that night, Xun Wuya would definitely not make this decision.
But he is a man of the rivers and lakes. People in the rivers and lakes will know that in the middle of the world, the legendary stars have been said for a long time, and among the vast stars, the most dazzling is the Tianji Star that has existed for nearly a hundred years.
Xun Wuya sighed heavily, and his shoulders suddenly felt extremely heavy.
The two didn't say anything all the way, and it seemed that a long time had passed, but in a blink of an eye, they had reached Tai'an.
