Chapter Twenty-Three: The Five Great Families
The friend Xu Jiayong made in his early years was Liu Ye's master, Huaikong.
Empty eyes, a man with infinite pride in his heart.
The man returned to the room and sat quietly on the stool, a trace of sadness passing by, and he couldn't help but think of some of the past.
When the two were young, they met on a trip, and they walked together for a while, just a way, the two could make friends, and Huaikong invited him to return to the sect together at that time.
If it was a few years ago, the man would definitely agree to this friend's invitation, but not now, if you have thoughts and thoughts in your heart, how can you follow yourself?
In his hometown, there is also a woman waiting for him.
You must know that Huaikong was angry at that time, so it's okay for this honest man?
There was no way, I congratulated him, and said that I would definitely come to see him when I had the opportunity in the future, and the two separated like this.
When they met again, it was when Huaikong was hit hard, and at that moment the man hesitated for the first time, he understood that it was useless for him to make a move, so he could only give Huaikong a friendship.
But for the man, even if he is allowed to die with Huaikong, he will not frown, he is not afraid of death, so many years of life and death travel, he has long been fearless.
But Huaikong refused his help, and he told the man that he was only here to entrust the child next to him.
He didn't accept it, not because the man couldn't help, but because he didn't think it was worth it.
In life, you must always have someone who thinks and thinks in your heart.
The man has it, he has always had it, and that she has been waiting for him.
That was also the time when the man knew that his wife was pregnant.
That time was also the time when the man knew that he had a reason to live well.
The last time I saw Huaikong, he was already a corpse, with a lot of blood holes on his body, and even the center of his eyebrows was pierced.
The man couldn't hold back and didn't cry, just quietly hugged his arms and let the blood flow from his fingers.
He couldn't shed tears just because there was a teenager next to him.
Early in the morning, the Zhang family was busy and lively, and today was the time for Miss Zhang to get married.
Today's Zhang family is more grand than all the marriages of major families in the ancient city in the past, not only because today is a big day, but more importantly, because there are several big people coming, how big others don't know, only Master Zhang understands in their hearts.
Lin Xi was guarding outside Zhang Xueqing, he couldn't get in now, girls got married, how could there be other men in the house, Wang Zheng slowly walked over and looked at Lin Xi.
"You really can't speak?" asked Wang Zai.
Lin Xi ignored him and thought about his own business.
These days, the soul inside him has been asking him why he wasted his time staying here a little longer.
At the beginning, Lin Xi still said, now it's okay, he doesn't know why he wants to stay here, saying that he is waiting for willow leaves, or he also wants to see what a monk is like.
Wang Zai spread out his hand, approached a little closer, and said softly: "Are you speechless?" I don't believe it anyway, the only thing I know is that you stayed to help that person, are you right?" ”
Lin Xi glanced at the king tribulation in front of him, and there was some murderous intent in his eyes, but it was fleeting.
He clearly understood that the people who stopped him had nothing to do with Wang Zheng, and after hearing what he and the old man said that night, he was even more certain, if he was outside now and there was no one, Lin Xi would be killed.
There is no way he can keep alive a man who wants to kill himself.
Lin Xi is not the kind of soft persimmon, his life has been threatened by the other party once, and he doesn't want to be threatened again.
Wang Zheng smiled slightly, and after facing the killing intent, he no longer had a cold face and a hot ass, so it was unnecessary, and in the end, people would not give you a good look.
Wang Zheng didn't stay long, turned his head and walked to Chu Yichuan's room.
Lin Xi calmed down for a while, around him, except for people and people, the Zhang family was busy for the wedding, and no one had a day off today.
Zhang Xueqing told Lin Xi yesterday that if Liu Ye would come, she would be willful once, leave the Zhang family, and follow Liu Ye to the ends of the earth.
But then she added another sentence, these words were all joked by herself, how could she be willing to give up her father? She also hoped that Liu Ye would not come today.
Lin Xi looked up at the sky not far away, there were one or two bright spots flying towards here, and when the distance was enough, Lin Xi saw clearly, there were four people there.
The old man of the Zhang family and the old man Wang had been waiting outside the gate for a long time, and they stood like this for a few hours, without a trace of slackness, and then Chu Yichuan and Wang Zheng also came out.
The rainbow light fell from the sky, and the passers-by around were shocked, thinking that it was the immortals who had descended to earth, some were afraid to go home early with their wives and children, and some people looked at the four people who came out of the rainbow, and could only say two or three words in their hearts, but they didn't dare to point fingers in person.
The originally lively street became silent with the arrival of these four people, and no one dared to speak, and many people fled the place early.
Two of them glanced at the people around them with disdain, and their faces were very sneering. satirize
Master Wang greeted him with a smile, and said respectfully: "It's a great thing that the Immortal Elder can come to us." ”
The four men who came were all men, in their thirties and forties.
One of the men took the lead and said politely: "Master Wang is serious, the children of the family invited me to wait, how can I not come? It's a pity that I didn't bring any gifts." ”
The other three ignored these words and looked around at the people in the street.
Before coming, Chu Yichuan had introduced the four of them to Master Wang and Master Zhang, in fact, the four of them had seen each other, and they had met twenty years ago.
They were still like that, but they couldn't remember everything here, because it wasn't worth remembering.
Master Wang politely beckoned them and invited them to come in and sit down, except for the man who had just spoken, the other three didn't say anything and followed silently.
A few people chatted in the hall for a while, and then shirked and went to rest.
Master Wang, they can't say anything, so they can only let them go in and out, you know, how can the guests in a place run around on the wedding day? But not now, these four people they can't afford to mess with.
When the four of them passed by Lin Xi, the man in front casually glanced at Lin Xi.
"If you don't have any spiritual power here, you can't cultivate, it's a waste of time to come here!"
"Chu Xiu, don't talk nonsense, Yichuan is the son of Senior Brother Fang's branch, and you don't know who Yichuan's father is, right?
Chu Xiu, who was preached, was a little unwilling, and wanted to have a seizure, so he glanced at the man in front and didn't say more.
The man at the head was called Chu Yifang, who was Chu Yichuan's cousin, and he stood at the window and glanced outside.
"It's still the same here, it's the same when it was twenty years ago, and it's still the same twenty years later, it's boring and boring. Chu Tiantian said with a smile.
They were the four people who pursued Huaikong twenty years ago.
"I didn't expect to come back here twenty years later, thinking that we didn't hesitate to offend that sect for that book, and finally brought the book back to the family, except for getting some exercises, there was nothing. Chu Xiu said with emotion.
Twenty years ago, after the four of them killed Huaikong, they probed Huaikong's divine consciousness and obtained a part of the breathing method.
The value of the breathing method is precious, and even a small part of it will cause a sect war.
Chu Xiu sat down and took a sip of water, and said, "Although no one has leaked this news, but then again, what if our Chu family offended an inconspicuous sect? What do they dare to say?"
According to legend, a few decades ago, a child of the Chu family was killed while traveling abroad, which led an elder of the Chu family out of the customs, killed the monk and then killed the monk's family, and only stopped when he was almost killed, and since then all the monks have known that the strength of the Chu family is terrifying.
Chu Fang sat down and said softly, "Be careful in everything." ”
Chu He asked, "What is Senior Brother worried about? Is it too coincidental to worry about?"
They could have brought Huaikong's corpse back and asked the elders of the clan to probe his divine consciousness for more information.
But just as they were about to go back, a man snatched Huaikong's body from the hands of the four of them, and in desperation, Chu destroyed Huaikong's eyebrows and destroyed his divine sense.
After that, he regretted it, the man almost killed all four of them, if he hadn't escaped through the Chu family's secret technique in the end, maybe they would have died twenty years ago.
Chu He said again: "Senior Brother Fang doesn't have to worry, the cultivation of several of us has increased too much in the past twenty years, and Brother Fang has already touched the threshold of the tenth floor some time ago, and with that person's strength, it is not enough. ”
Chu Yifang said: "I'm not worried about this, I'm afraid that someone will do it on purpose when we return here." ”
"Someone dares to calculate our Chu family, could it be something else. Chu Xiu said halfway through and then said no more.
Chu Fang said softly: "Whether it is intentional or unintentional, be careful." ”
Liu Ye and Xu Jiayong can walk dozens of miles to the ancient city, with Xu Jiayong's cultivation, he can just turn into a divine rainbow and fly here, but that is too eye-catching.
Over the years, staying in that small place with his family, he has long stopped caring about spiritual matters, it can be said that in the past twenty years, he has only lived as an ordinary person, and as for himself, he has long been accustomed to walking mountain roads.
"Liu Ye, do you know why I didn't let you touch spiritual power in the first place?" Xu Jiayong asked suddenly.
Liu Ye said softly: "You don't want me to become a monk to take revenge." ”
Xu Jiayong shook his head and said, "Do you feel bored using aura all these years, and you can't improve even a little bit no matter how you cultivate?"
Liu Ye glanced at the man next to him and waited for the following.
Xu Jiayong looked at the sky and said: "When Huaikong got this breathing method, he once told me that the aura was amazing, and even he couldn't scratch his head, I thought he was humble, and now it seems that it should be so." ”
"To a certain extent, spiritual power far exceeds aura. ”
Liu Ye still didn't speak, listening carefully.
"He didn't know what the aura was wonderful, and I had studied it for decades, and in the end, Huaikong told me that we were on the wrong path. ”
The man smiled and continued: "When he said this at the time, I didn't understand it even more, and I didn't understand it until now. ”
Xu Jiayong sighed with emotion: "Why has my cultivation not improved a little? It's not that I'm sluggish in my practice, it's a problem of the exercises, I've been on the wrong road all my life, and now I find out that there is a broken road in front of me, for me, unless I break the Dao Ji and start all over again, it will be difficult for me to go to the next level in my life." ”
Liu Ye muttered to himself, "The monk's guillotine path?"
Xu Jiayong stopped, looked at Liu Ye and said seriously: "My cultivation is shallow, I don't know if it's right, the only thing that can be sure is that once you take the wrong path, it will be difficult to continue the road ahead, let alone someone like me who has no one to guide you?"
Liu Ye nodded slightly, remembering some of the words he said to himself when Huaikong was still there.
When he was very young, he remembered some of the things that Huaikong had taught him, not so much because he understood them, but because they had instilled in his mind in the way of a monk.
Huaikong didn't mention anything about cultivation to him at that time, but silently taught him some truths, and when Liu Ye was able to read and write, Huaikong handed him an ancient book and asked him to explore it well.
That ancient book is what they call breathing.
Liu Ye asked, "You mean that there is no need to rush in cultivation, and you must first explore the breathing method to a certain point?"
Xu Jiayong nodded, he wasn't sure, he was just hearing Huaikong say these things a long time ago.
After Liu Ye knew what he wanted to know, he didn't ask any more, he slightly lifted the sword in his hand a little, and said in a deep voice, "We have to hurry up." ”
Zhang Xueqing was already dressed in red, and several maids from Zhang's Mansion were carefully taking care of her beside her.
Zhang Xueqing in front of the mirror is like a flower in the harsh winter, no matter how beautiful she looks, she always looks cold on her face.
Lin Xi no longer stayed in the courtyard, and had already waited in the restaurant some roads away from Zhang's house, there was no food on the table in front of him, only a cup of untouched tea, opposite him, Wang Zai sat upright, looking at the sky outside.
After a while, Wang Zai said to himself, "Are you waiting for someone? I'm also waiting for someone, maybe the two of us are waiting for the same person." ”
Lin Xi ignored him and closed his eyes.
Wang Zheng smiled and said, "If you leave this place and run to a place where there is no one else, I won't follow you, I don't want to die inexplicably." ”
"You know who I am. Lin Xi asked very lightly.
"Of course I know, but I don't know who you are, don't you say, Yu Gongzi. Wang Zheng said softly.
Lin Xi took a sip of tea lightly, he already knew that he had been discovered before, and now he really had the idea to do it.
When Lin Xi put down the cup, Wang Zheng said again: "Don't be in a hurry, you and I are not very clear, it is not good for anyone to suffer, and we are all waiting for the same person." ”
If Lin Xi really made a move, in the last resort, Wang Zheng was still happy to use that piece of yellow paper on Lin Xi, although it deviated from the plan he had thought in advance, but in the face of self-preservation, no matter how big the deviation was, he had to admit it.
"It's just the right time to come back, not fast, not slow. Wang Zheng slowly spit out, holding his head in one hand and looking at the street below.
On the street, many elderly people looked over, boiling, each with their own statements, but they didn't dare to say anything.
As far as their eyes could see, Liu Ye slowly walked forward with the sword of the Li family heirloom in his hand.
If they let Master Wang see it, they will definitely be surprised.
It's so similar, even after so many years, they still haven't forgotten.
That appearance is simply the same as the head of the Li family twenty years ago.
