Chapter 81: Looking at the Moon in the Well
Seeing the only seedling of the Zhu family die in front of him, Zhu Shan was overwhelmed with grief and indignation, his palm was pierced by five fingers, and his clenched fist was dripping with blood.
The man who knows what his son does on weekdays hates iron and steel, and even sometimes men wonder if their ancestors killed too much, and the present life will repay him.
The iron-clad Zhu family, how can there be such a domineering son?
But no matter how arrogant Zhu Zhixu is, how lawless he is, after all, he is his son, the only bone and blood died in front of him at this moment, and the white-haired man sent the black-haired man walked to Zhu Zhixu, who was still wide-eyed and couldn't believe it before he died, and closed his son's eyes.
Even if they knew that the person in the shop who stabbed through the general's son with an arrow was a cultivator with high skills and unpredictable powers, many soldiers still drew their waist knives, and just waited for the general who was in pain of losing his son to give an order, and he was about to rush in and chop the boy into pulp.
Moreover, the young man in the inn who was full of light seemed to be a little sick and pale, which made many people feel slightly at ease.
Dong Yanyan, who was considered indecisive and weak-hearted by Ye Zhiqiu, really didn't have any strength, and he exerted Zanghua to the extent just now, and the young man was now strong in his body.
However, compared with Zanghua's damage to his body, Dong Nanyan, who pierced Zhu Zhixu's heart with an arrow, was in a paste in his mind at the moment, and the earnest teachings of the old man in the family kept ringing out to him.
"Little Fulu, when you grow up, don't fight and kill easily, learn to cherish life, be kind to others, and treat others kindly, this person, not only a prince and general, but also a fisherman, farmer, woodcutter, are all a life, when a person dies, there is nothing. ”
The voice became louder and louder, and the eyes of the young man who was breathing heavily darkened, and he could no longer stabilize his body and fell backwards.
didn't stand upright and fell to the ground, someone stood beside Dong Nanyan, holding the crumbling young man.
There was worry in his eyes, and there was an imperceptible glimmer of light flowing in the contact between Tsing Yi and the young man, and Song Jiyi asked, "Are you okay?" ”
The aura poured into the hungry acupoint along the green god's clothes, and Dong Nanyan's face improved slightly.
Ye Zhi also walked to the young man's side, and when she saw Dong Nanyan's appearance, everyone outside was ready to move, and the girl had anger in her eyes, and she showed her identity as a big deal.
When it shows that they are from the Fallen Leaf Sect, Ye Zhi doesn't believe it, and these people will dare to make a move against them at that time?
Picking up Zhu Zhixu, who was already cold, Zhu Shan did not make a move, nor did he give the order to retreat, and his voice was not as angry as everyone outside imagined, but extremely flat.
"If you don't teach, my father's fault, I am also responsible for doing evil, you can do justice at a young age, I admire you. ”
The son in his arms would never speak again, and the man shed two lines of tears, breaking the arrow in the man's heart, "There is a wrong, there is a debtor, when your injuries are healed, I will take off this silver armor, and the two of us will share life and death, you leave your name, wait for me..."
The man was stunned for a moment, shook his head and sighed, "Forget it." ”
After entering the palace with his teacher, he shouldn't be able to get out.
The grief on the man's face was even heavier, and he took pity on Lin Guo, and there was no home again.
Since not only his son died today, but even he will die soon, the man looked away a little, waved his hand at the crowd surrounding the inn outside, and motioned for Dong Nanyan and the others to leave.
I don't know why Zhu Shan is willing to let them go, Dong Nanyan, who was supported by Song Jieyi, walked in front of the man, Zhu Shan is right, there is a wrong, there is a debtor, since he Dong Nanyan can kill Zhu Zhixu, why can't Zhu Shan kill him to avenge his son?
Just as he was about to announce his name to the man, the young man's eyes suddenly tightened.
The golden armor sounded, Zhu Shan was stunned, and when he saw Shao Huan getting off the horse and walking towards Dong Nanyan and his party, the man thought that the old man felt sorry for his apprentice, and his heart was sour, so he stopped the old man.
"Teacher, forget it, it's all over, it's the disciple who is delaying time, let's go. ”
His eyes were always on Dong Nanyan and his party, and the old man pulled away Zhu Shan who was blocking him and continued to walk forward.
Isn't that Zhu Zhixu's master who came to avenge his apprentice?
Dong Nanyan stepped forward and greeted the old man, no matter who it was, he took it.
Unexpectedly, the old man had no teenager in his eyes at all, and he still walked forward after passing him.
"There is a wrong, there is a debtor, it has nothing to do with my friends, just come to me. ”
Ignoring Ye Zhi, who drew out the Wanqing Sword, Qi Daozhen, who was holding a peachwood sword, the old man who stopped was not so much standing in front of Song Jiyi as in front of the little boy standing next to the girl.
Xiulin, who was stared at by the old man, was a little uncomfortable and hid behind Song Jieyi.
"How is it possible, how is this possible?"
The old man trembled, squatted down, and was about to pull Xiulin over.
The grass sword slapped on the old man's arm, and Song Jieyi, who had been on guard for a long time, shouted at an old man who fell to the ground unsteadily: "What kind of ability is it to shoot at a child!"
"Teacher. ”
Seeing that the old man was knocked down, Zhu Shan was even more anxious than when he rescued Zhu Zhixu before, and he arrived in one step and said with concern: "Teacher, are you okay?"
The old man seemed to be crazy and muttered: "Zhushan, I am not mistaken, you look quickly, I am not mistaken." ”
Following the old man's gaze, the timid boy was poking his head out.
If Zhu Zhixu died, it would be regarded as a thunderbolt for a man, then at the moment he saw the boy, Zhu Shan only felt that there was a mountain pressing on his heart.
The man, who had not been so panicked for many years on the march, trembled his fingers, fell to the ground, and blurted out: "Tao Zinc." ”
No wonder Zhu Shan is so panicked, how can a man who grew up with Tao Zinc, the first emperor of the Barrier Forest Kingdom, forget the appearance of his best friend.
In a panic, the cultivation of the martial arts of the Zhushan Qi Gathering Realm was completely revealed, and he shouted: "Who are you, what are your intentions in coming to the Barrier Forest Country?"
The boy behind the girl is simply carved out of a mold with Tao Zinc.
Ye Zhi stepped forward with a sword and said: "If you want to fight, you will fight, and then you will say let us go, and then you will come to find fault again, you are still a man!"
Pulling Zhu Shan's sleeve to get up, Shao Huan was obviously more sensitive and careful than the man, and on the boy's familiar face, the old man could still find a little bit of the woman's eyebrows.
Bending over, the old man who planned to lead troops into the palace today acted decisively, and in the shock of Dong Nanyan and Zhu Shan, Shao Huan pointed at his heart with the sword of Wanqing between his fingers.
"Don't get me wrong, now my life is on this girl's sword, I have no malice, I just want to ask the child. ”
Shao Huan asked word by word, "Child, what is your name?"
Dong Nanyan and Song Jieyi and the others glanced at each other, Dong Nanyan didn't know what the old man was going to do, but seeing the old man's sword against his heart, the young man nodded at the boy.
The little boy who followed Dong Nanyan to the broken temple here didn't know why the old man asked his name, but when he saw the young man nodding his head, the boy whispered: "My name is Xiulin, and I don't have a surname." ”
After hearing this name, Shao Huan was so shocked that his fingers loosened, and he didn't care that the long sword cut a crack on the golden armor, the old man knelt on the ground, and the old man said with tears: "The sky opens his eyes." ”
Tao Zin, the first emperor of the Barrier Forest Kingdom, once had a son left, called Xiulin.
Tao Xiulin.
The peach is beautiful in the forest.
In a forbidden place in the imperial city, a peach tree that covered the sky trembled in vain.
The sky was overcast, and the rain was constantly breaking the dirt on the ground.
The wind whistling around the peach trees was as sharp as a knife, cutting through the branches.
A long red sword encircled the peach tree and stuck diagonally at the root.
The wind blows the branches, the rain drenches the soil, and the sword digs the roots.
The only peach tree in the territory of this barrier forest country is crumbling.
————
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Huang Feng and Zhou Yu, who were anxiously waiting for the news, were suddenly startled, because the two old men had already heard the sound of horses' hooves at the door.
You can hear it so clearly in the garden, you can see how many people come.
If Shao Huan succeeded, there would not be so many soldiers and horses coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion, could it be that the East Window Incident happened, and the king sent someone to Xingshi to ask for the guilt?
Glancing at each other, Huang Feng said: "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided." ”
The old man flicked his sleeves, "Let's go, Master, let's see if it's a blessing or a curse." ”
Outside the door, in a carriage heavily guarded by heavy soldiers, Xiulin said nervously: "Sister Song, is there a mistake?" ”
The carriage was very large, Dong Nanyan and his party were all sitting in it, and Song Jieyi comforted the boy and said, "It's okay, we'll know when we see the prime minister and the master that the old man said later." ”
said that it would take a while to find out, in fact, Song Jieyi knew in his heart that Xiulin's identity must be true, he was shouldering the national fortune of the Barrier Forest Country, and according to the old man who claimed to be the Taifu of the Barrier Forest Country, the boy's appearance was almost exactly the same as that of the first emperor and his wife, and the name was completely consistent.
The girl sighed secretly, she couldn't be wrong.
The carriage gradually stopped, and Dong Nanyan, who knew that he had arrived at his destination, said softly: "Don't be afraid, whether it is or not, we will be by your side." ”
Unexpectedly, it was Shao Huan who led the troops to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Huang Feng and Zhou Yu at the door were confused, especially when they saw the old man in Jinjia respectfully inviting a team of youngsters who didn't look very old in front of the carriage, the two old men were even more confused.
Taking a step forward, Huang Feng hurriedly said, "Brother Shao, you..."
The old man asked in a low voice, "You have entered the palace?"
The old man in golden armor shook his head and turned sideways, "Look who this is?"
Huang Feng narrowed his eyes and looked back, the old man went from being puzzled at the beginning, to being shocked, and finally to being surprised, "How is this possible!"
Because of the large number of people, they did not choose to discuss matters in the small garden, and in a large hall, Dong Nanyan and his party sat down, Shao Huan pointed to the wasp who hurriedly led everyone into the mansion and said: "This is the prime minister of our barrier forest country." ”
Dong Nanyan nodded, "Mrs. Shao, you said that you can prove Xiulin's life experience here, I don't know how to prove it?"
The white-haired old man Jin Jia was beside him, and said apologetically: "Dong Gongzi, don't hide it, the old man lied to you, and the Prime Minister's Mansion can't prove Xiulin's identity." ”
Seeing Dong Nanyan frowning, Shao Huan hurriedly explained: "Don't worry too much about it, the old man has no malice, although I am already sure in my heart that the boy next to you must be the child of the first emperor of my barrier forest country, but if you want to prove his identity, you have to go to the ancestral hall of the Tao family, childe, you are a cultivator, you know that I have many ghosts in the barrier forest country, and it is not peaceful, and the old man is also for your safety, so he made this decision." ”
Ye Zhi got up and said, "Since we can't prove our identity here, then what are we doing here, just go directly to that Tao ancestral hall." ”
In the main hall, in addition to Zhu Shan, who was standing, there was also a man who could not see the depth standing aside, Ye Zhi was not very relieved.
Seeing the scruples in Ye Zhi's heart, Shao Huan said: "Girl, if I want to make a move on you, why bother making this excuse, even if you are really good, all of you are one against a hundred, but what about a thousand? What about ten thousand?"
Snorted coldly and sat down, Ye Zhi said, "Then what do you mean?"
This time, Shao Huan didn't speak, Huang Feng, who had been paying attention to Xiulin, sighed and said: "Don't be impatient, listen to the old man's explanation, the Tao Ancestral Hall, in the palace, requires His Majesty's approval to enter, if you break in rashly, the palace is heavily guarded, and it will inevitably be damaged at that time." ”
Qi Daozhen retorted: "Old man, how can we be considered rash intruders, this is a major matter related to your Barrier Forest Country." ”
"Shao Taifu, Prime Minister, Taishi. ”
The girl in Tsing Yi asked, "Since we can't rush in, why don't you quickly inform your majesty and let him approve it." ”
Zhou Yu smiled bitterly, "Girl, what you said is right, but..."
The old man was hesitating to tell outsiders about His Majesty's obsession with a woman.
Shao Huan, who has always acted neatly and neatly, said: "To tell you the truth, Your Majesty is infatuated with a demon girl, and he is fascinated by her, and he can't even go to court." ”
Pointing at the golden armor on his body, the old man said bluntly: "Today is when the old man is going to lead troops into the palace to kill the demon girl, and I met you. ”
Unexpectedly, after telling the truth, Shao Huan found that Dong Nanyan and his party had all stood up except Xiulin, and the old man was puzzled: "Everyone, what's wrong?"
Thinking of the man who instructed the ghost to follow Xiulin all the time and collect the dragon qi of national fortune from the boy, Dong Nanyan and the others glanced at each other in unison.
It was late at night, but in the main hall, the three old men were still discussing things for tomorrow.
The old man who took off his golden armor spoke: "There will be no fake, my generation knows countless people, especially at this important juncture, it is impossible to be wrong." ”
Huang Feng shook his head, "But if it's right, the identity of that kid is really Xiulin, and it's really like those people said, he shoulders the national fortune of our barrier forest country, and he was secretly collected by someone else, then..."
Unwilling to believe it in his heart, Zhou Yu said: "Tao Yi won't be confused like this, right?"
Shao Huan said in a cold voice: "As soon as Tao Zin died, he said that the prince died in the fire in the East Palace, doesn't it feel a coincidence to think about it now?
"Brother Shao, before the matter is cleared, don't speculate. ”
Huang Feng looked at the dark night and sighed, "No matter what the truth is, it will be revealed tomorrow." ”
————
In the garden, the troubled child could not sleep and slipped out of the room.
With a gloomy expression, Xiulin sat on a stone bench, compared to the mountain, there was almost no snow in this mansion, and it was cleaned by the diligent subordinates.
The boy was silently in a daze, what was his background, whether he was a noble prince or not, the boy didn't really care, what really made the boy care was the first word.
Emperor Xian.
Although he has accepted his fate, when he occasionally can't sleep and when he goes into the city and sees a loving elder standing beside others, the boy always thinks about what his parents will be like?
It's not that he hasn't fantasized about a family reunion and a happy appearance, but the boy knows that it is as unrealistic as when he is hungry and thinks about pie in the sky.
Sometimes some past events are like wounds left when you don't pay attention, the wounds have formed bloody scabs over time, and if you want to understand the truth, you have to uncover this scab, and as a result, it hurts again.
The cranky boy turned his head and suddenly found a figure sitting next to the well in the small courtyard.
"Big brother?"
Dong Yanyan, who should have discovered Xiulin a long time ago, was stunned, "Why haven't you slept yet?"
Also sitting at the mouth of the well, Xiulin smiled: "I can't sleep, big brother, why haven't you slept." ”
"I can't sleep either. ”
Dong Nanyan said softly: "Are you worried about tomorrow?"
The boy nodded, "Big brother, did you say that since God doesn't like us and let us live a hard life, is it because we have done something wrong and is punishing us?"
The boy's voice choked, "If they don't like us, why do you want us to exist in this world?"
Gently rubbing the boy's head, as soon as he lay down, Dong Nanyan, who would think of the scene of killing the man in the inn, said softly: "I don't know if God doesn't like us, but Xiulin, everyone has his meaning in life." ”
Carrying too many teenagers holding on to the well, "On the mountain, you said that everyone has everyone's life, and I used to have this idea of you, but then I thought that my life is not only mine, it is intertwined with everyone around me, I live for myself and for others." ”
The water in the well can't be waved, the bright moon hangs in the sky, Dong Nanyan said softly: "Even if God doesn't like you, the world is big, you have to believe that there will be others who like you." ”
He talked a lot with Xiulin by the well, and after sending the little boy who was sleeping by the well back to the house, the young man sat alone by the well.
In fact, he is a little envious of Xiulin, at least, Xiulin still knows who his parents are and who Xiulin is.
And what about him? Who is he?
The young man looked down, the bright moon in the well was folded, and the moonlight reflected in the well water seemed to be able to dispel the haze of people's hearts.
The scene of the inn gradually dissipated in my mind, evil is not pitiful, if it is a poor man, then who will pity those who are bullied by men?
Why do people in the world always have to move their hands and feet when they don't agree with each other, why can't they sit down and talk slowly?
Is it so hard to put yourself in your shoes and have good intentions?
Looking at the moon in the well, the young man muttered before he slowly fell asleep.
May the moon in the hearts of everyone in the world be as brilliant and pure as this moment.
Tossing and turning, as soon as she closed her eyes, the girl in Tsing Yi who appeared in front of her sat up and shook her head vigorously.
Seeing that it still had no effect, her heart was ruthless, and the girl slapped her palm to her neck.
No one knew that when she was in a century-old store, the girl who was now slapping herself unconscious with one palm turned her head gently after seeing the two of them looking at each other next to the rockery, and after walking far away.
