Chapter Seventy-Seven: Farewell at Night
Fa Yuan suddenly said: "Lao Wei is a monk, so he doesn't understand the truth of Sun Shizhu. Others have helped us, so why should we think of others as bad! But you're not wrong, why is that?"
Sun Yan said: "Everyone must have been nervous and sleepless after going back last night, but I didn't toss and turn in bed, but stared at someone." ”
Fa Yuan said: "Oh, who?"
Sun Yan said: "Fang Xiaodao." ”
After several people were silent for a long time, Sun Yan said: "The reason why I stared at him was because I felt that if someone wanted to make a move, the first one to aim at would definitely be Fang Xiaodao." However, I only saw one person walk into Fang Xiaodao's house last night. ”
Xiao Ying said: "It's Yao Kebing, what is she going to do?"
Sun Yan said: "I don't know what she went to do, but I know where she went after she left!"
He Yuelan said: "At this time, you don't want to sell Guanzi!"
Sun Yan sneered: "No one will believe that she went to find Zhang Gong after that, and people like me who are very patient didn't wait for her to come out." ”
Xiao Ying said: "I see, she is really good at dancing with long sleeves, and she actually plays with an extremely smart person like Brother Fang." ”
After Yao Kebing misunderstood Fang Xiaodao, she heard Yao Kebing's own explanation, so she was also very sympathetic to Yao Kebing, just like Fang Xiaodao. But now it seems that Yao Kebing is not a chaste martyr between him and different men. And a woman, as long as she doesn't cherish her chastity, probably no one wants to trust her.
Sun Yan said: "However, it is really arbitrary to deny her based on this alone. It wasn't until she came in that I was sure that this woman was definitely not simple. ”
Fa Yuan said: "Are you saying that as long as she appears here today, you can be sure that she is not a good kind?"
Sun Yan said: "Just send a few steamed buns, anyone can come." But she came, which was very unusual. Since the matter of her saving Fang Xiaodao was discovered, how could she be safe and sound, and Wu Boliang, how could she let her come here alone?"
Xiao Ying said: "Moreover, a sincere person, there is no need to talk about the good things he has done. What she said to us just now was actually tricking us into letting our guard down. ”
Fang Xiaodao sat at the water's edge, nibbling on a wild fruit, staring at the roaring bonfire. Suddenly, a fresh breeze blew, and the campfire suddenly jumped. Fang Xiaodao stood up and immediately hid behind a willow tree by the water's edge.
A man with a cloak walked over, sat where Fang Xiaodao had just sit, flipped the fish that was being grilled on the bonfire and said, "This is already very good, if you don't eat it, it will be mushy." ”
Fang Xiaodao walked out, stood opposite, sat down after seeing this person's appearance clearly, and said, "Who are you?"
The man lifted the hat of his cloak, revealing his gray sideburns, which was the gray-robed swordsman he had seen in Yuelong Pond during the day. The gray-robed swordsman said: "My surname is Su, and the name chosen by my parents is not very good, it is a different word." ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "I didn't ask your name, even if you say it, I still don't know who you are." ”
Su Bei said: "You don't have to think about this, because no matter how you ask, I won't say it." ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "You saved me so that I didn't fall to my death." And then you deliberately let me go, so I don't think you deliberately hide it from me. ”
Su Bei said: "Then you really misunderstood me." ”
Fang Xiaodao felt that he couldn't answer his words, and when he was so serious, he just said this kind of thing to end the topic.
Fang Xiaodao picked up the fish on the fire and was about to eat it, Su Bei said, "Divide me in half." ”
Fang Xiaodao had no choice but to separate the fish from it and hand it to the other party in half. Su Bei took it, grabbed it lightly with his hand, and then put it in his mouth. He ate slowly, as if he didn't know that Fang Xiaodao was in a hurry.
Fang Xiaodao waited for him to finish eating, and said very seriously: "I don't have time to entertain with you, you know what I'm in a hurry to do." ”
Su Bei smiled: "You are not so reckless, otherwise you would not be here, I think you are waiting for me on purpose!"
Fang Xiaodao said: "But now I find that I have wasted my time in vain. ”
Su Bei said: "It's not in vain, I'm really here to help you." ”
Gongsun Shu, Gong Nanyan, Han Zhenqi, Pei Xudong, and Fakong, these five people are all in the same place now; They've been here for a long time, but they still don't know when they're leaving. There is only one person who can bring them together, and that is the Autumn Rain Swordsman, Su Bei. The relationship between these five people and Sube is very close and extremely secretive.
Gongsun Shu has a daughter, so naturally he has a husband. But her daughter's surname is She, and her husband is naturally not surnamed Su, let alone Sube. The reason why she came was because she and Su Bei had a constant relationship from birth. Gongsun Shu's mother's surname is Su, and the Su family used to be a very famous family in the rivers and lakes. He and Sube were cousins, but they hadn't seen each other in years.
Han Zhenqi is a Taoist priest with a bad reputation, but few people know that he almost inherited the head of the Water Moon Temple. And when he was young, he was an extremely upright person, a person who pursued chivalrous fame. He has few friends in the rivers and lakes, and the best one is Su Bei.
Pei Xudong was still a child back then, riddled with weak diseases, and his road to martial arts was full of hardship. Finally one day he couldn't hold on anymore, so he found a place where no one was there and prepared for a hundred, but he was saved by Su Bei. After Su Bei heard his hardships, he not only comforted him, but also instructed him in swordsmanship, which was half of Su Bei's disciple. Su Bei has not been seen all these years, but he has never forgotten this kindness.
The relationship between Fakong and Su Bei is more difficult to understand, because the two of them turned out to be confidants. No one could understand why a genius monk would become a confidant with the infamous Autumn Rain swordsman. But the two of them are not only confidants, but they were once the people who have traveled together the longest time. Even, the relationship between the two of them has to start before Fakong escapes into the empty door.
As for Gong Nanyan, it was a matter of children's affection. At that time, Su Bei was suave, and Gongnan Yanzi was peerless, and the spark between these two people was very strong. But creation makes people, and now I think about it, it's just that life is very hard. However, Gong Nanyan can still come here because of Su Bei, which shows that she has not forgotten the old feelings.
These five people have some extraordinary relationships with Su Bei, but the reason why Su Bei let them come here is not the old ones. The five of them, who have no connection, all have one thing in common, that is, they know more about the treasure of the Quicksand King than others. No matter what mood they have come here, they will be disappointed when they come.
In the wave of searching for the treasure of the quicksand king, Ye Yunqiao's side touched the vine and killed all the people in the demon gate. After that, the people who knew most were the people on Ye Yunqiao's side. And at that time, the people who were with Ye Yunqiao were Gongsun Hong, Pei Linfeng, the head of Shuiyueguan, Shi Daochang and a number of apprentices, the old palace master of Wuhua Palace, that is, the master of Gong Nanyan. After a fierce battle, there were only two people left in Shuiyueguan, Shi Daochang and Han Zhenqi. As for Fakong, he was actually destined to have a special relationship with the Quicksand King Treasure since he was born.
It is rumored that the place where Ye Yunqiao killed several elders of the Demon Sect is where the treasure is. It's just that Ye Yunqiao is not greedy for treasure, so he sealed the entrance to the treasure place, and agreed with everyone not to take a penny and keep his mouth shut. Not many people believed this rumor, but everyone believed that these people were the ones who had been closest to the treasure. Therefore, Su Bei tricked the four of them into coming here with Fakong, hoping to get the news of the treasure. Therefore, if Fang Xiaodao could know about this, he would never think that Su Bei was a good person.
Suddenly a lamp lit in the dark cave, then a second, a third, until all the lamps were lit, and the stone house suddenly became as bright as day. This kind of scene is played out every day, so no one is curious. According to the daily process, Wu Boliang and Su Bie would come here to question them at this time. But there seems to be one less person coming today, and Wu Boliang did not come.
The cells are two rows facing each other, and there is a bluestone table in the middle, and the person sitting next to the table is Su Bei.
Suddenly, there was a violent cough from the cell, a hoarse, unusually harsh voice. Su Bei stood up and looked at Pei Xudong and said, "Your illness has never improved, and your cough seems to be getting worse and worse in the past few days." Do you want me to find you some medicine, even if it treats the symptoms but not the root cause, it will always feel better. ”
Pei Xudong said: "No need, I have eliminated all drugs." ”
Han Zhenqi said coldly: "If you really care about this child, you should find the most comfortable carriage and send him home." There's really no need for you to do something like this to make people laugh. ”
Su Bei turned around, looked at Han Zhenqi and said, "Brother Han, even though I am not benevolent, I still have a little affection in mind. If you, Brother Han, think I'm pretending, I'll be disappointed. ”
Han Zhenqi said: "Yes, you Su Bei used to be a righteous person, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you are chivalrous and courageous. But today is different from the past, you are not now, you are just a villain. ”
Su Bei seemed to be caught in a memory, his eyes stared at a certain place vacantly, and after a long time, he said quietly: "Yes, Su Bei is really a chivalrous person." But the Autumn Rain Swordsman is a person with a bad reputation. ”
Gongsun Shu said: "According to you, I have lost my only relative, right, cousin?"
Su Bei stared at Gongsun Shu, and seemed to see the demure cousin with a round face, so he sighed with emotion: "Yes, your cousin will definitely not treat you badly." ”
Gong Nanyan didn't speak, Su Bei glanced at her, and felt that she should not only have lost a lover, but also the most beautiful Shaoguang was also let down. But Gong Nanyan didn't complain, or even moved. In fact, since she saw Gong Nanyan this time, she has always had this look.
Su Bei turned back to Gongsun Shu and said, "I don't want to hide it from you, my niece came a few days ago and is now locked in the dungeon." I hope you don't worry too much, after all, I won't hurt her, I like her very much. ”
Gongsun Shu's eyes lit up, and he immediately calmed down and said, "Gongsun is the last family, and there is only one girl left." The Su family is also about to die, and she has become the only bloodline of the two families, how to do it, I hope you know it yourself. ”
Su Bei nodded and said, "I know, no matter what, she will leave safe and sound." After speaking, he sighed and said: "Time is like a waterfall, and it has been born unconsciously." She is really similar to her cousin back then, and she is very beautiful. The last time I saw her, she still hadn't learned to walk. I didn't expect to see her this time, she has reached the age of talking about marriage, and she already has a wishful husband. That kid is suave and swordsmanship, I like it very much, cousin, you may like it too. ”
Gongsun Shu said: "Oh, didn't she come alone?"
Su Bei said: "No, the people who came are the Fayuan Master of Futu Temple, a little girl from Wuhua Palace, Sun Yan of the Heqing faction, and one more, I want you to guess." ”
Fakong, who had been silent, suddenly said: "Su Bei, if you don't let go of Senior Brother, don't want to know half a word from me." ”
Su Bei said angrily: "I said it, I don't want to hurt anyone. You and I know each other for a while, do you think I am really a person without the slightest conscience!"
Gongsun Shu said: "Let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about my child first, she won't come with Sun Yan, a guy who loves to stir up trouble, right?"
Han Zhenqi smiled: "I have seen Sun Yan, he is a very good young man. ”
Su Bei shook his head and said: "No, he is no worse than Sun Yan in terms of martial arts, and he is better than Sun Yan in terms of appearance." But the most important thing is that he is not a person who likes to stir up trouble, but he has more courage to cause trouble than Sun Yan. This person is still good friends with Xudong!"
Pei Xudong frowned and said, "Fang Xiaodao is back!"
Gongsun Shu stood up and said, "He, why did he come back again?"
Su Bei said: "Not only did I come back, but as soon as I came back, I stirred up a storm." There are many people who trouble him, but none of them are his enemies. Moreover, he also established Jiang Cheng, the killer of the Temple of the Dead, and the elusive blood swordsman. In today's martial arts, I'm afraid that no one younger than him can defeat him. ”
Pei Xudong seemed to smile with a bit of mockery: "A person who doesn't want to be involved in right and wrong has a good courage that is not afraid of right and wrong, which is really ironic." ”
Han Zhenqi said: "Anyone who understands can see that he didn't take the boning knife that killed the ghost, but he once openly opposed Lu Hanting, but I'm afraid that the current martial arts will not be too kind to him." ”
Su Bei said: "No matter how many people are unkind to him, he will definitely be able to trample all these people under his feet." Some people are born kings and do not need others to understand and follow. ”
Gongsun Shu sighed: "When my daughter left home, she only said that she walked around, but I didn't expect her to be unforgettable. I think most of her went to find Fang Xiaodao, otherwise there would be so many unexpected encounters in this world. ”
Su Bei looked at Gongsun Shu and couldn't help but think of some old things. All the appropriate reunions in this world after a long absence are painstaking calculations, not many people are favored by God, and all the interpretations of love and hatred are inner attachments.
Listening to Gongsun Shu's words, these people who had been stumbling for half their lives fell into contemplation one by one, and the madness of young people seemed to the old man to be really asking for trouble. But if you really suffer hardship, you may not be completely disgusted, if you are really disgusted, I am afraid that everyone will be empty.
Fakong proclaimed a Buddha name: "All love will be impermanent for a long time,......。 He might have wanted to recite the whole Buddha phrase if Gongsun Shu hadn't interrupted him.
Gongsun Shu only heard him say for a long time, and suddenly said loudly: "Bald, you shut up for me." My daughter's marriage, it must last forever, if you curse here, I can't spare you. ”
Su Bei looked at the two of them with interest and said to Gongsun Shu: "It seems that my cousin is also very satisfied with the knife of the other party." ”
Gongsun Shu said: "A person like him, even if he is a little romantic, will never let others down." As he spoke, he glared at Fakong heavily, and continued: "But I like him even more because he is still a carpenter in Huahe Town. In that case, my grandson's mastery can naturally continue to be passed on. There is no right and wrong, and it will not live up to its ancestors. ”
Pei Xudong said: "Auntie, I also agree with your statement. ”
Regarding the generations of Pei Xudong and Gongsun Shu, it is really a very embarrassing thing. Because his father Pei Linfeng and Gongsun Hong are good friends, it stands to reason that he and Gongsun Shu are also the same generation. But his father is Ran Hongfei's righteous son, Ran Zhu is his aunt, and Gongsun Shu and Ran Zhu are sisters. The reason for this embarrassment is that the age difference between Ran Zhu and Pei Linfeng is too big, and Ran Zhu called Ye Yunqiao Master again. In fact, Ran Zhu, as Pei Linfeng's younger sister, should be the same generation as Ye Yunqiao. But in the grief of Ran Hongfei's death, Ye Yunqiao accepted Ran Zhu as an apprentice. It is conceivable that Ye Yunqiao had no intention of thinking about this kind of disordered generation, which just left an embarrassment for future generations. However, Pei Linfeng thinks that he and Ran Zhu are closer, so according to Ran Zhu, he should be called Aunt Gongsun Shu.
Su Bei seemed to come to talk about the past, and never mentioned the matter of the treasure of the quicksand king. Although everyone didn't talk about wine, they were still willing to dig out their hearts when it came to old things.
Thousands of miles away from Yuelong Pond, a team of people and horses galloped by, and the leader was tall, looking rough but heroic. A few gray hairs on his sideburns did not affect his image in the slightest, and he looked more energetic than a twenty-year-old young man. He was followed by less than twenty young men, but all of them were fierce. In martial arts, such a young man is the most precious thing of a sect. And these less than twenty people are difficult to find in the martial arts, because they are the only luck left of the behemoth of the Demon Gate. Looking at the entire martial arts, there is only one person who can command these young people to be left in the Demon Gate, and there is no Zen sect master-Ye Cibei.
Ye Cibei's eyes were like lightning bolts falling from the clouds, falling on a tall and burly person like him. It's just that this person didn't seem to look at him, but hid in the crowd of onlookers on the side of the road.
Ye Cibei is not a person who will give up if others don't want to see him, as long as he is interested in a person, he will not care whether others bother him or not. Therefore, he suddenly exclaimed, "Yin boy, why are you avoiding me?"
Yin Sheng raised his head from the crowd, turned around and said, "I didn't hide from you, I just didn't see you." ”
Ye Ci said compassionately: "If you open your eyes and talk nonsense, how can you not see me." After speaking, he suddenly reined in the horse, and the horse's head was only three inches away from Yin Sheng.
Yin Sheng said: "How can I see you, Ye Cibei is a loner, killing people like hemp but not fighting for power." Such a person cannot appear in a majestic horse team, let alone the one who takes the lead. ”
Ye Cibei knew what he meant, and looked at Su Ruoyao, who was looking at the long swords on the side, and said, "This girl, I seem to have seen you before. ”
Su Ruoyao said: "Seniors have a good memory. ”
Ye Ci said compassionately: "Since you all know each other, you can't miss this meal today." Moreover, I really want to kill the enemy with Yin Boy again, it must be very happy. ”
Yin Sheng sneered: "Excuse me, if you want to go to the Northern Desert to kill a few Hu people that day, I will definitely accompany you." But if you want me to fight with you in those sects, you still don't dream. ”
Ye Cibei said to the people behind: "Give up the two horses and ask Hall Master Yin to go with this little girl." "He speaks so domineeringly, and if he doesn't get the approval of others, he wants others to get on the horse.
Yin Sheng was just about to speak, but Ye Ci said compassionately: "If you don't leave, I may have to go to find the surname Fang by myself." ”
Yin Sheng and Su Ruoyao naturally wouldn't shirk when they heard Fang Xiaodao, so the two got on the horse and followed Ye Cibei.
