Chapter 297: The Secret of the Dragon Crescent
Everyone may have secrets in their hearts that they don't want outsiders to know, but big or small, it's not that they want to deliberately hide something from everyone, maybe they just don't want to mention it again, but this doesn't mean that this person is not sincere and unfair. The so-called sincerity does not mean that you have to show yourself naked to everyone, just have a clear conscience.
The morning sun on the horizon slowly rose, and the earth was gradually enveloped by the sun, driving away the cold wind of the night, bringing warmth, warming the earth and warming people's hearts. In the rivers and lakes of swords, it is an extremely luxurious thing to be able to watch the sun rise with your own eyes.
Long Xinyue looked at the vigorous sunshine, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "I said that I remembered something that may be important to you, because I once met a person, an impressive person, in the place where I lived. Do you know who this person is?" he said, turning his head to look at Wuxin, frowning slightly.
"I'm listening. Wuxin nodded and said.
Long Xinyue narrowed her eyes and continued: "My hometown is on an island, it is a beautiful island that cannot be described in words, but there is too much darkness and cruelty hidden under the beautiful appearance, and the people who live there are all members of the same race, and no outsiders have ever been there, because as soon as they step into the island, they will disappear forever, and nothing will be left behind when they disappear, so almost no one knows about the existence of this island." Later, the people on the island were no longer satisfied with waiting for outsiders to set foot on the island, and killing people would be addictive, so they gradually began to go to sea, as long as the ships that appeared thirty miles near the island, none of them were spared, merchant ships, fishing boats, all of them were not spared. Those who die think they are dead, but they never dream that after they die, someone will use witchcraft to control their souls, turning them into a pile of walking dead, controlled by those who take pleasure in killing. Wouldn't you be willing to be them one day?" said Long Xinyue, looking at Wuxin again, with a hint of sadness and helplessness in his eyes.
Wuxin has been listening to Long Xinyue's words quietly, and he can hear every word clearly, the more he listens, the more frightened he feels, he didn't expect that there is such a strange place in the world, and such a strange thing happens. After hesitating for a while, he slowly spoke, "That's why you chose to leave that place?"
Long Xinyue nodded, his expression was painful, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I was forced by my father to start killing people since I was eight years old, at that time I didn't even know what killing was, that was not the life I wanted, since I lost the last trace of love for that place, I fled from that place, hid in Crescent Town, and opened a Crescent Inn." In fact, that town was not originally called Crescent Town, but it was called Crescent Town because of the existence of the Crescent Inn, and over time people seem to have forgotten its original name. Then I met you, and then I met more and more people like you, which made me hate that place even more. ”
Wuxin looked at Long Xinyue, whose face became more and more ugly, sighed, and suddenly felt that Long Xinyue, like herself, also had a life that she was not willing to choose, and had a past that she didn't want to mention. But he didn't understand what this had to do with him, why Long Crescent said it was important to him.
Probably seeing the unintentional doubts, Long Xinyue took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and continued: "Before I left, one day a person came up, the only person who made it to the island alive, a person who was covered in scars and was dying, he was a general, a defeated general, if he hadn't accidentally floated to the island after falling into the sea, it is estimated that he would have died more than ten years ago." I don't know why, he actually made a deal with my father, a deal that sounded appalling. ”
"What agreement?" Wuxin asked with a frown, he was becoming more and more interested in what Long Xinyue said.
"The general promised my father that he would help him leave the island and dominate the Central Plains, but on the condition that my father must help him fight back, defeat the enemy, ensure that he is invincible, and help him sit on the throne, to my surprise my father agreed, he never let anyone who dared to negotiate terms with him leave the island alive, that was the only time. Long Xinyue said slowly, whenever his father was mentioned, there was always a trace of fear between his eyebrows, which was a look that had never appeared on his face.
"You and I know this general, right?" Wuxin squinted his eyes and said lightly, he seemed to have guessed who it was.
Long Xinyue nodded, looked at Wuxin and said, "That's right, you should already know who this person is." He knew that with his unintentional mind, he had already guessed who this person was.
"The Seven Sages. Wuxin gritted his teeth and said coldly. He didn't expect the Seven Sages King to have such an unknown past, and he now seemed to understand why the Seven Sages King had been invincible all those years, and it turned out that there were people from Crescent Island secretly helping him.
"That's right, so I think it's time to tell you about my past, and by the way, remind you where the Seven Sages will go now when they are seriously injured. Long Xinyue said slowly, the expression on her face had gradually recovered.
"He went to Crescent Island. Wuxin clenched his fists tightly and said coldly. Originally, after leaving the capital, he asked Ruyi to send people from Furong Hall to track down the whereabouts of the Seven Sage Kings, but he didn't expect the Seven Sages Kings to have such a past, if it wasn't for Long Xinyue telling him, I'm afraid he would never have been able to find the Seven Sages King again.
Wuxin nodded and did not speak, and his mood was difficult to calm down for a while. As soon as he thought of the Seven Sage Kings, he thought of many people, many people who died at the hands of the Seven Sage Kings, his own parents, Shangguan Yunjie, Zhongbo, Ji Rufeng, Murong Qianhe, and many more innocent people who died in vain. He had tried to let go of all these hatreds, telling himself to focus on the overall situation and not to dwell on personal grievances, but he found that he couldn't do it, and that kind of pain was not something that could be forgotten.
Long Xinyue looked pale and unintentional, without saying a word, and said slowly: "If you need it, I will accompany you to find him, no matter the ends of the world." With that, he turned around and walked to his room first, as a friend, he had already made his attitude clear, even if he let him return to the place he had long hated.
Long Xinyue knew that if he didn't kill the Seven Sages King with his own hands, he would never be able to come out of the pain and shadows of the past, just like him. People can't always live in the past, otherwise the pain is very bearable, and he doesn't want to be like himself, and he will never be able to let go of the past.
Wuxin didn't say anything, but he was very grateful to Long Xinyue, not only because Long Xinyue told him the whereabouts of the Seven Sage Kings, but also because of Long Xinyue's last words, maybe this is the meaning of a friend, and he will always choose to support you for no reason, no matter what awaits him is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, or an abyss.
But Long Xinyue had just taken a few steps, suddenly stopped, hesitated, and finally said softly: "Miss Ruyi seems to have something to hide from you, because I found out that she secretly went out one night when she was in Shaolin Temple, and she was a little abnormal after coming back." After saying that, he continued to walk towards his room, the wine had already come up, and he was going back to get a good night's sleep. Although he didn't know what Ruyi had done that day, as a friend, he felt that he should tell Wuxin what he knew.
Hearing Long Xinyue's last words, Wuxin frowned again, but it was not because of what Long Xinyue said that Ruyi had something to hide from him, but because of Long Xinyue's suspicion of Ruyi, because he would never believe that Ruyi would do anything to be sorry for him. But he knew that Long Crescent Moon was well-intentioned, so he didn't have a seizure, let alone ignore it.
Long Xinyue was gone, and only the lonely back of Wuxin was left, standing quietly by the railing, feeling the sunlight shining in from the door and the window not far away, trying to calm his complicated feelings. He suddenly felt as if his heart could never be calm, always one thing after another, without giving him a chance to breathe.
At this time, under the stairs on the first floor, at the kitchen door in the corner, a figure was hiding behind the door, two lines of hot tears slowly flowing down their cheeks, their expressions painful and struggling. It's no one else, it's officially Ruyi, she originally got up, because she also has things hidden in her heart, some things that can only be buried in her heart, so she has always been unable to sleep night after night lately.
Originally, he wanted to make a breakfast for Wuxin, because he also knew that Wuxin should have gotten up early, and he hadn't even slept at all. However, she overheard the conversation between Long Xinyue and Wuxin just now, heard about the whereabouts of the Seven Sage Kings, and heard Long Xinyue tell Wuxin about her suspicions. Suddenly, she was a little scared, afraid to face Wuxin, afraid to know her past and her relationship with the Seven Sages King.
I don't know how long it took, Ruyi finally walked out of the kitchen, down the stairs, step by step to the second floor, towards the direction of Wuxin, and seemed to be ready to face everything.
When Wuxin saw Ruyi suddenly appear downstairs, he couldn't help frowning, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, he didn't find that someone was already downstairs, and he was still Ruyi himself. He didn't know if Ruyi had heard the conversation between himself and Long Xinyue, especially the last sentence that Long Xinyue said. I want to explain something, but I don't know how to say it.
When he was unintentionally entangled, Ruyi had already walked up the stairs, and walked to Wuxin's side, and slowly said, "Come in and have breakfast." Without looking back, he walked towards the room, his tone a little stiff.
Looking at Ruyi's back, Wuxin felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart, hesitated, and slowly followed behind Ruyi.
Misunderstanding is a kind of thing that is difficult to erase once it exists, and even if it can be explained clearly, it is difficult to erase the trace that once left in my heart.
Trust is hard-won and precious......
