Volume 1 Thousand Gates, Chapter 12, Thousand Gates (3)
The heavy rain fell without warning, the sky and the earth were dyed the same color, sinking into an endless darkness, the whole Jiqing Road seemed to be wrapped in clouds, and the sporadic lights proved that there were still fireworks in this ancient city, but Xu Wenwen, who escaped from the Qian Mansion, endured his injuries and wore a prison uniform dyed red with blood, and his heart was already desperate.
Xu Wenwen ran wildly all the way, and the hot blood overflowing from the wound swayed to the ground, mixed with the cold and bone-chilling rain in the air. He couldn't help but stay on the railing of the bridge until the thatched hut where he had lived in the suburbs for many years, and there was a hallucination in front of him, he saw Xiu'er and himself standing in front of the door of the house painting and teasing, watching the sunset together, and the scenes of the past flashed in his eyes.
I don't know how long it took, a roaring lightning sounded over Xu Wenwen's head, Xu Wenshu's face was pale, his eyes were dull, due to excessive blood loss, he was completely in a state of weakness, he eased his mind slightly, and woke up from the fantastical beauty, everything returned to the cruel reality, Xu Wenwen dragged his injured body, like a helpless ant under the endless void, and slowly crawled to the door.
When he entered the house, the house was in a mess, all the furnishings were turned over in a mess, he knew that the officials of the government must have come here to search for his whereabouts, and before that, Xu Wenwen must have been terrified in his heart. But now he has nothing, no father, no mother, and even Qian Xiu'er, who grew up as a childhood sweetheart, has turned against him, so what does the government care about the arrest warrant? Everything is just one death is enough. Looking at the portraits scattered on the ground, there are many Qian Xiuer's paintings, Xu Wenwen picked them up one by one, the vivid Qian Xiuer in the painting is lively and lovely, a smile is as bright as the flowers and forests in the mountains, a pair of flashing big eyes are like ripples in the stream, and the black and bright hairs are haunted by the deep heart of Xu Wenwen. This woman was his lifelong pursuit, she was tightly tied to her ambitions, and now all kinds of things are like water without a trace;
Xu Wenshu sobbed silently, he tore apart the portraits in his hands with unwillingness and hatred, Qian Xiuer's painting was split in two, until he tore it into confetti, and at the same time tore up the feelings and ideals in his heart. A few thunders sounded outside the sky, and a figure suddenly appeared on the bridge fence outside the house, the man was wearing a robe, standing in the rain and looking at the door of the house, and he said: "You can come back alive, do you understand now, love is a ruthless and sad blade in this world, and it will slowly devour your original intention." At the end of the day, you realize that nothing can be changed, and they still hate you, hate you, hate that they can't cut you to pieces. Why don't you accept the Thousand Gates, the Thousand Doors Order left by your father is the right path for you, child. ”
Xu Wenwen slowly closed his eyes, feeling the pain caused by the wound, only this pain made him realize that he was still alive, looking at the two wounds on his chest, he recalled the words that Qian Xiu'er said, he couldn't help but clench his fists, his face was covered with haze, and the corners of his mouth whispered: "I want revenge, I want to make Sima Wei's life worse than death!"
I don't know when, Feng Wuming walked into the house, he took off his coat, put down the package, and saw that Xu Wenwen was seriously injured, he immediately took out a bottle of gold sore medicine used for self-defense from his waist and applied it to his wound, Xu Wenwen endured the severe pain of the medicine, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Sir, do you know martial arts?"
Feng Wuming seemed to come prepared, took out a set of clean clothes for him, and motioned for Xu Wenwen to change into it.
"The rivers and lakes are very sinister, if we don't have a one-trick two-way self-defense, how dare we set foot in the rivers and lakes, what are you asking for?"
I saw Xu Wenwen kneeling down with a 'plop', bowing down at Feng Wuming's feet and begging, "Sir, can you teach me martial arts." ”
Feng Wuming was startled, and hurriedly helped him up, and asked suspiciously, "Do you want to use force to solve the hatred in your heart?"
"Sima Wei's martial arts are superb, if I want to take revenge, I can be his opponent. ”
Feng Wuming turned his mind and laughed, sighed at Xu Wenwen and shook his head: "Although martial arts is domineering, it is used for self-defense after all, but have you thought about it, you are the descendant of Qianmen, you should use the means of Qianmen to thwart every enemy you encounter in the future." Wuzong is walking by body, Qianmen is walking with heart, your father was as powerless as you back then, but he still dominates the rivers and lakes, many famous men and masters are willing to serve him, what does all this rely on, haven't you figured it out yet? Think about how Sima Wei designed to frame you, he took away your beloved without effort, and swallowed up the Qian family's big family business, do you think this is all obtained by force?"
"The methods used by Sima Wei are nothing more than conspiracy. ”
"Child, you are wrong, intrigue is what Qianmen is good at, in the eyes of outsiders, Qianmen is despicable and insidious, but in the heart of the wise, it is wisdom and power, what you really want to master is how to practice wisdom, not rely on brute courage to survive, that is just a puppet. What's more, you are twenty years old, and you have passed the best stage of martial arts, and now practicing martial arts is just practicing form, and the angry old man can't teach you martial arts. ”
Feng Wuming's words made Xu Wenwen regain another layer of meaning for his understanding of Qianmen, he took out the relics left by his father, one is the "Thousand Doors Secret Codex" passed down from generation to generation, and the other jade plate is a thousand doors order issued by Lu Tianfeng to the world's thousand disciples before his death, this order can only be opened by the master of the thousand doors, and now the thousand doors are scattered, and most of his disciples also fell apart twenty years ago, Xu Wenwen, as the descendants of the master of the thousand doors, undoubtedly took on the mission of reviving the thousand doors.
For the first time, he carefully observed this whole body jade, a cylindrical shape of the warrant, the end of the warrant was carved with a small Pi Xian, the jade tooth of Pixiu bit the end, Xu Wenwen gently pulled, the small jade tooth broke, and the whole set of warrants could be opened; Xu Wenshu opened the warrant, and what caught his eye was that there were lines of blood written on a piece of gold leaf.
Feng Wuming sighed at this time, accompanied by the sound of dripping rain outside the house, he said: "This is a blood order written by your father with blood in the words of blood, he doesn't want to watch the destruction of a thousand doors, I hope you can take on this important responsibility when you grow up." Brother Lu, we have fought for a lifetime and died, and before you know it, you have been gone for twenty years, and now the old man has fulfilled his promise to you, you can rest in peace under Jiuquan. ”
"Dad!" Xu Wenwen knelt on the ground on his knees and finished reading this Qianmen Order with tears in his eyes, the content of the upper part is mainly based on the Qianmen Order, and the second represents Lu Tianfeng's hatred for the imperial court back then and his worries about the decline of Qianmen in the future.
Xu Wenwen cried bitterly, at this moment he felt his father's helplessness and misfortune, and he secretly vowed that he must let Qianmen revitalize the rivers and lakes. From this moment on, that Xu Wenwen has died, he has already died in the prison, and in the endless despair, he has found another identity, a name that truly belongs to him - Lu Tiandi!
