Chapter 95: A Late Farewell
The moon is cloudy and sunny, people have joys and sorrows, and there is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed, so be kind to the people around you when you still have the ability to pay, because you don't know if you will meet again when you are separated, and you can't be sure whether each parting is the last. The only thing you can do is to cherish every fate and be kind to every encounter.
"Who did that?" asked Wuxin in a trembling voice, biting his lip so tightly that blood oozed from his lip, but he still refused to relax. The news of Shangguan Yunjie's death was even more violent to him than a thunderbolt from the blue, and he wanted to sober himself up through the pain.
Nangong Chu thought for a moment and said slowly: "Red Feather, originally Red Feather wanted to kidnap Ruyi, in order to deal with you, but Red Feather's people showed their feet, so Shangguan Yunjie not only sent additional people to guard around the Phantom Sound Pavilion, but also personally sat in charge. However, when the other party acted, there was a conflict between the two sides, and Shangguan Yunjie died in battle. ”
These are just what Nangong Chu heard from the people from Furong Hall who came to deliver the letter, originally he just came out to look for traces of Wuxin, but he suddenly received news five days ago, not long after he left the Phantom City, Hongyu attacked His Excellency Phantom Yin, and Shangguan Yunjie also died in battle in order to protect Ruyi.
Wuxin frowned tightly, as if he was thinking about something, and suddenly stared at Nangong Chu and asked, "How many people killed him?" He had learned about Shangguan Yunjie's strength, and it wasn't something that could be killed by any person who wanted to.
"One, there is only one person, it is said that it is a person with a black veil on his face and wearing a costume, so that with a divine whip in one hand, Shangguan Yunjie is not his opponent at all. Nangong Chu said without thinking.
Hearing the person described by Nangong Chu's mouth, Wuxin's brows furrowed even deeper, and he instantly remembered the masked man who wanted to kill people and steal goods in the desert inn, and remembered that person's unfathomable martial arts. If it was really that person, then Shangguan Yunjie might not be an opponent indeed, and even the Tianshan Lone Eagle Dugu Lanqing couldn't hurt that person in the slightest.
Wuxin suddenly stood up, turned and left, and did not look at the people who fell to the ground again, although he knew that these people were also his enemies, but now he did not have time to pay attention to these people, he had to rush back as soon as possible to see off his best friend. He swore that he would kill the murderer with his own hands and avenge Shangguan Yunjie.
Maybe when you really face your dearest people leaving this world one day, you will really experience the heart-wrenching grief and reluctance, at that time, you will always seem very lonely, lonely to the point that you have no way to integrate into everything around you.
The first snow of early winter, which ended in a breathtaking way. It snowed heavily for four days, and I don't know how many snowflakes fell on this vast land, how many mountains and hills were buried by the snow, and how many people left this cold world.
Standing quietly on a hill on the outskirts of Phantom City, looking at a tomb in front of him that was more luxurious than ordinary people's residences, and looking at the words "Shangguan Yunjie" that came into view in the simple lines of small characters on the tombstone, he had mixed feelings in his heart.
I couldn't say a word of the countless things I wanted to say in my heart, and I became speechless. He hurried and hurried, but it was still too late, and he didn't even get to see Shangguan Yunjie for the last time.
He was very frustrated, very self-blaming, hating that he would come too late, hating why he wanted to go back to the Undead Stream, otherwise it would be impossible for Hong Yu to find the Phantom Sound Pavilion because he couldn't find himself, so maybe Shangguan Yunjie wouldn't die. In the same way, he also hated Red Feather, hated their extermination, hated their unscrupulous means.
Ruyi stood quietly a step behind Wuxin, just looking at Wuxin standing in front of Shangguan Yunjie's grave, watching him tremble, watching him grit his teeth, she didn't bother, now it belongs to the two of them. Although Wuxin didn't say a word, it made people feel that he and Shangguan Yunjie lying under the stone tablet had talked a lot and talked for a long time.
I don't know how long it took, Wuxin, who had been standing quietly in front of the grave, suddenly let out a muffled snort, his eyes were dark, and he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. The turbid breath that had been held in his heart since Wuzhen finally spit out, but it was accompanied by remorse and self-blame for losing his brother.
Shangguan Yunjie's death was half because of the promise he had made to Wuxin, that is, to swear to protect their mutual friend, Ruyi.
Ruyi saw that Wuxin suddenly spit out blood, and suddenly lost his face, and hurriedly rushed to Wuxin's side, and asked with concern: "Are you okay? In fact, her face is so good, the same face is pale and bloodless, and she has been in self-blame these days.
Wuxin waved his hand, signaling that he was fine, then turned his head to look at Ruyi and asked, "Have you seen the face of the person who came?" Although he knew that the other party's face was covered with a black veil, he still hoped that Ruyi could find something in the other party's fight with Shangguan Yunjie.
Ruyi shook his head helplessly, and said softly: "No, I only know that the other party is very young, but his martial arts are very high, and they are unfathomable." "That day, when Shangguan Yunjie fought against the masked man, she was watching from the sidelines, although she was not a master herself, but her years of experience in the rivers and lakes were enough for her to distinguish what the real master was, and obviously the masked man was one of them.
Wuxin frowned tightly, a little frustrated. Some people think that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, but Wuxin is now desperately hoping that the unfathomable mysterious masked man can appear again and fight him to the death. Shangguan Yunjie is gone, and the only thing he can do now is to find out the murderer as soon as possible and retaliate with a tooth for a tooth.
However, according to Furong Tang's eyeliner, this person seems to have appeared in the capital recently. Seeing the frustration on Wuxin's face, Ruyi thought for a while and said, this news has not been confirmed definitively, but she really doesn't want to see Wuxin's current appearance, so she still said it.
Hearing Ruyi's words, Wuxin's pupils shrank suddenly, and the frustration on his original face flashed away, turning into a murderous aura. He couldn't wait to hit the road and find the murderer who dared to hurt the person he cared about the most.
He stayed in front of Shangguan Yunjie's grave for a while, and unintentionally turned around and walked down the mountain, his steps were firm, and he had already thought about the direction he was going to go next.
A carriage sped along a road covered with snow without a trace, despite the fact that it was frozen under its feet. Snow that can slip at any time. The galloping horses held their heads high, facing the cold wind, and headed in a directionless direction, as if they knew the destination of the trip better than the owner in the carriage.
There were three people sitting in the carriage, Wuxin, Ruyi, and Nangong Chu. Originally, he had no intention of insisting on going alone, no matter how unfathomable the enemy was, whether it was evil or auspicious, life or death.
But Ruyi insisted on going with Wuxin, her reason was that Shangguan Yunjie was because she died, and she also had to go to the capital in person to confirm whether the news was accurate.
Since Ruyi is going, Nangong Chu will definitely follow, his identity seems to be Ruyi's shadow, and he will always hide in the dark to protect. If Ruyi hadn't asked him to find Wuxin's whereabouts this time, maybe he would have been the one who fought the masked man, and maybe no one would have died.
"Stop beating yourself. Seeing Wuxin sitting in the corner of the carriage silently, Ruyi finally couldn't help it and said softly.
Wuxin lowered his head slightly, pursed his lips, and said in a hoarse voice, "He died because of me." "If it weren't for him provoking Shang Hongyu, if it wasn't for him hiding, Red Feather wouldn't have found the Phantom City, and Shangguan Yunjie might not have died.
"Don't say that, from the moment we became your friends, we didn't think about who died for whom and who lived for whom, we only knew that the three of us were one, and no one could be fine. His departure was an accident, and I didn't want to, but it was his own choice, if it was you, or me, I think our choice would be the same as his, no one blames you, what we have to do now is to find the murderer and avenge him. Ruyi bit her lip and said slowly.
Although she was also blaming herself in her heart, she still tried her best to comfort Wuxin at this time, she didn't want to see Wuxin living in self-blame and remorse all the time, that would be too unfair, because for her and Shangguan Yunjie, Wuxin carried more things and paid more.
In the eyes of all the people around him, Wuxin is such a person, he never feels that others owe him anything, but he always remembers what he owes others, which is why he and Shangguan Yunjie became friends in the first place.
Wuxin nodded lightly, looked at the horses walking like flying outside the carriage through the curtain of the carriage entrance gently swinging in the wind, and the white expanse, and said lightly: "He won't die in vain." The tone was unusually firm.
He has secretly made up his mind that no matter what he will encounter in the future and what he will experience, he will no longer leave the people around him to hide alone, and he will defend the most important thing in his life through his own hands.
The cold wind was bleak, the horses were singing, and where the horses' hooves passed, snowflakes were splashing everywhere. The road is still ahead, and the horses are still galloping, tireless, forgetting the cold......
At the feet of the Son of Heaven, worthy of being the feet of the Son of Heaven, heavy snow piled up outside the city, but inside the city it was completely clean, and there was not even a trace of snow in sight.
Just when the snow stopped, all the officials and soldiers appeared in the streets and alleys of the capital, clearing all the heavy snow out of the city, which is why the snow outside the city seems to be thicker than the snow in other places, and the thickness has even made it difficult for the carriage to move an inch. So when they first arrived outside the city, the three of them gave up continuing to ride in the carriage and walked towards the city on foot.
Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar streets, I had a lot of thoughts in my heart, thinking of the Seven Sages King, the Jade Rakshasa and the uncle I hadn't seen for a long time, Tie Xiong.
Thinking of Tetsuo, Wuxin seemed to suddenly remember something, maybe he should go to the six doors to try his luck, maybe the god hunting Tetsuo, who is known as the number one in the world, can know some news about the masked man. Thinking of this, Wuxin took the lead and walked towards the headquarters of the six doors.
Ruyi followed closely behind Wuxin, for fear of being overwhelmed by the crowd around her, at this time, she seemed to be an immature child, and she did not have the majesty that she usually treats her subordinates.
When Tie Xiong appeared at the gate of the six doors, a long-lost smile suddenly appeared on his face, which was the smile that relatives would only have after seeing their relatives.
"Haotian, why are you here? Why didn't you write to me in advance. Tie Xiong said with a smile, quickly walked down a series of steps, walked in front of Wuxin, and looked at Wuxin carefully.
"The incident happened suddenly, and I haven't had time to say hello to my uncle, and I haven't delayed my uncle's official business, right?" Wuxin smiled reluctantly and said slowly.
To be honest, it was already a kind of luck to be able to see Tetsuo alive again. His voice was still hoarse, as if after spitting out the blood in front of Shangguan Yunjie's grave, there were some problems in his unintentional throat, perhaps caused by his impatience.
But Tie Xiong seemed to have sensed Wuxin's abnormality, frowned, and asked seriously, "What's wrong?" Looking at Wuxin's appearance, it is unlikely that he came to see him on purpose, and he was also followed by Nangong Chu and Ruyi, and the faces of the three of them looked very bad at this time.
Hearing Tetsuo's question, Wuxin sighed and slowly began to speak......
