Chang'an City is a city without defects, except for its summer, the temperature is getting higher and higher, the scorching heat envelops the streets and alleys, and the occasional wind, but also the disgusting warm breath, blowing away the originally verdant and full leaves.

In a teahouse in Beicheng, it is rare to be a little cool.

The tea master is a woman, hot water to make tea, but when it is served, it becomes herbal tea, the corners of her wrinkled eyes look very vicissitudes, but also full of indifference, put the tea on the table, and said softly: "This day is a little hot, no one wants to come to drink tea, so my teahouse is a little deserted, but the world is so ignorant, it is the hot day that should come to drink tea." ”

Luo Yang sat on the ground, took the teacup and drank it all, and said: "Uncle, the disciple has been coming to Chang'an for many days, and he has never come to disturb. ”

The tea master refilled the cup for Luo Yang and said, "Don't call me uncle, I wasn't a disciple of Cihang Jianzhai twenty years ago, and now I'm just an ordinary woman who sells tea, and I can't teach you any questions." ”

"No," Luo Yang said, "I have met Master Tan Lone, and he told me that only you can solve my doubts. ”

The tea master's hand that was sticking to the tea leaves suddenly shook for a long time before he said, "Then you ask, if I can answer, I will tell you." ”

Luo Yang said: "The Buddha said, all living beings are equal, and the disciple once believed in it, but since the disciple went down the mountain, what he saw and heard, but found that this world is not what the Buddhist scriptures say, I saw some people laughing, some people crying, some people are afraid, some people are fearless, some people are diligent and diligent but do nothing, some people sit and eat empty mountains but everything is accomplished, all this, too much, the disciples can not see equality, the disciples only see the people in the world struggling, but some people look at the people and are still happy. Is this the disciple wrong, or is the Buddha wrong?"

The tea master slowly raised his head and said very blandly: "This question, I also asked the Buddha Lord twenty years ago, but the so-called Buddha forced me to destroy hundreds of people up and down the Famous Sword Villa, just because the Buddha in your mouth said that the Famous Sword Villa is a demon, so they died, so I want to serve the demon with my body, and then kill the demon!"

"Uncle Shi," Luo Yang was stunned for a moment, and said: "Famous Sword Villa cultivates demonic skills, and uses human life as the foundation of cultivation, aren't they demons?"

The tea master shook his head and said, "So, I went to ask the Buddha master, I stayed in the Famous Sword Villa for a year, and I didn't see the demons that the Buddha said, but what I saw was a group of truly righteous people, but why did the Buddha say that they were demons? They all deserve to die?"

After being silent for a long time, Luo Yang slowly got up, saluted respectfully, and said, "Thank you Uncle for solving your doubts, the disciple understands, and I will leave!"

............

I don't know when, the door of the teahouse was pushed open again, and a woman in a red robe came in, with two knives hanging from her waist, as if she would be unsheathed at any time.

The tea master raised his head again, looked at the woman who pushed the door in, a faint smile appeared on his face, and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Mu Lixian looked at the tea master and said, "Erniang, I haven't seen you for twenty years, you are already old." ”

"You've grown up. The tea master stood up and said slowly: "A few days ago, I heard that there was a descendant of the Famous Sword Villa, and I was thinking, who is it, I didn't expect it to be you, it's just, what have you experienced over the years, why this dress?"

Mu Lixian took a step forward and said coldly: "Isn't this all thanks to you? ”

"I'm sorry. The tea master said.

Mu Lixian said slowly: "There are many people you are sorry for, my name is Sword Villa, up to the owner of the village, down to the coachman and servant, hundreds of people, including thousands of people who live by the famous Sword Villa, all because of you, the dead are dead, and the dead are destroyed." ”

"Are you here to avenge them today?" said the tea master.

"Yes. ”

Mu Lixian slowly turned around and closed the door of the teahouse, and said: "It's been twenty years, I haven't slept a single peaceful night, every time I close my eyes, I will see many, many people, each of them covered in blood, standing in front of me, there is my father, there is the old housekeeper, there is the sister who takes care of me, and the grandmother who holds me every day to get up." ”

"They were all smiling at me because I had survived, and they were all waiting for me to avenge them, for me to let them rest in peace. ”

The tea master sighed softly and said: "It's been so many years, you don't have to worry for so long, sit down and drink a cup of tea, Erniang has been making tea for more than 20 years, at that time, your father liked to drink the tea I made for him, and now, he hasn't had a chance to drink it for 20 years, so you might as well let you drink it for him!"

The tea master held a long spoon, took a spoonful of hot water from the charcoal stove, and slowly flowed into the teapot on the table, after a while, it was a cup of cool tea, she slowly pushed it in front of Mu Lixian, and said: "This is herbal tea, I remember that when you were a child, you always liked to let me get it for you, and you said that the herbal tea I brewed was as delicious as the cold tea you used when your mother was alive." ”

Mu Lixian looked at the cup of herbal tea for a long time, but he didn't move, and said lightly: "At that time, I liked it, and I still like it now, but I don't dare to drink it, I can't forget that night, hundreds of people fell to the ground, and they couldn't even hold weapons, and they were slaughtered." ”

The tea master took a deep breath and sighed, "At that time, you were still a child of a few years old!"

"Yes," Mu Lixian's eyes were cold, but two tears slowly rolled out, and said: "I was just a child at that time, in order to survive, I killed several friends who played with me on weekdays with a knife, and then used their corpses to block me, that night, blood has been flowing on my body, I watched those who claimed to be Buddhas slaughtering my relatives who couldn't resist with a sword. ”

"Later, in order to survive, I became a beggar, but God played tricks on me, she gave me a woman's face, more and more beggars began to look at me strangely, and finally one day, several beggars tied me up and abolished me, and since then I can't be a man, and I was imprisoned by them as a tool to vent, it was a whole three years, a dark time. ”

A strong look of distress flashed in the tea master's eyes, and his whole body began to twitch, and he choked up: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you've been wronged too much...... I don't know ......."

A touch of coldness appeared on Mu Lixian's face, a little self-deprecation, a little pain, and said slowly: "Many times, I want to die, but when I was about to commit suicide, I remembered that there were still so many dead souls waiting for me to avenge them, I didn't dare to die, I was afraid that if I died, there would really be no one to avenge them anymore, and they would really die in vain." ”

The tea master was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "You have too many enemies, can you kill them all? They are all so powerful, can you get revenge? You will put yourself in it, child!"

Mu Lixian shook his head and said: "I'm not a man now, I'm not a woman, I don't have to live, the only belief that can support my life is revenge, the people of the year, I will go to find them one by one, Erniang, this time it's you!"

Mu Lixian took out a knife and said: "Twenty years ago, my father kindly took you in the Famous Sword Villa, and later in order to stand out for you, he even married you as his wife, and treated you wholeheartedly, up and down the entire Famous Sword Villa, everyone sincerely regarded you as the owner's wife, but you were a ghost, lured the wolf into the room, let the Gu God Sect poison my Famous Sword Villa, and finally led Cihang Sword Zhai to destroy the demon, hehe, what a demon destroyer, you tell me, what is the demon of the Famous Sword Villa?"

Tears flowed from the corners of the tea master's eyes, and after a long time, he said slowly: "In the past twenty years, I have long understood, and I understand that I am the demon!"

"In that case, then go to hell to atone for your sins!"

The short knife hummed slightly, turning into a dark trail of light, grazing the tea master's throat, and a trace of blood slowly flowed out.

Mu Lixian was slightly surprised, she suddenly felt a little unreal, she had been looking for the enemy for so many years, and she died in front of her so easily, without the crazy struggle she imagined, nor begging for mercy, but fell down with a smile on her face, as if she had been greatly relieved.

Mu Lixian took out a piece of oiled paper from his arms, on which many names were densely written, most of them were drawn, this time, she hung up a name again, this action has been going on for many years, every time he crossed out a name, he felt a little less burden, and a little lighter on his body.

Every time she took out the knife, she didn't think about whether she would kill the other party, she only knew that she should kill this person to avenge the unjust souls up and down the Mingjian Villa, and she should use the lives of these people to pay tribute to those relatives who died blindly.

The tea master fell, his eyes slowly closed, but a smile appeared on his face, an indescribable smile.

Mu Lixian looked at this Erniang who had been shouting for several years, and hated someone who had died in front of him for I don't know how many years, it was so quiet!

"Senior Uncle, Senior Sister Luoyang asked me to tell you that there are people in Mingjian Villa ......"

The door was suddenly opened again, and it was a disciple of Cihang Jianzhai who came in, and as soon as he came in, he saw Mu Lixian holding a short knife, and there was blood flowing on the tip of the knife.

"Who are you?" the disciple of Cihang Jianzhai immediately drew his long sword and asked.

"Cihang Jianzhai!"

Mu Lixian snorted coldly, the killing intent was great, his right hand came out through his sleeve, his body swept obliquely, the blade was cold, and he stabbed the woman's throat, and the short knife drew a graceful arc in the air, which happened to land on the throat of the disciple of the Cihang Sword Zhai.

Another corpse fell, unwillingly.

The short knife was sheathed, Mu Lixian left quickly, he couldn't stay here for a long time, after all, this place was Chang'an City, no one could kill someone in Chang'an City and escape easily, at least except for a very small number of people, but these people definitely did not include Mu Lixian, who was not even congenital.

Therefore, before the Praetorian Guards came, she had to rush to Lantian County as soon as possible.
