Chapter 18: If there is an afterlife
Lian Guangyu, the son of Lian Jiangdong, was also a popular figure in Changfeng City in his early years, with amazing martial arts talent, far ahead of his peers, and was later valued by the sword-wielding of one of the three protectors of Lishan Palace, and accepted as a disciple.
And Lian Jia, because of Lian Guangyu, leaned on the big ship of Li Shan.
Lian Guangyu has been in Lishan for ten years, has been doing things for Lishan, and has never returned home once, this time it was also from Lian's family that his little sister is about to get married.
"Are you saying that person is a disciple of Wu Qi, the number one on the earth list?"
Lian Guangyu looked at the letter and asked his subordinates.
"Back to the young master, the rumors in the rivers and lakes are yes, and I heard that he admitted it. β
Lian Guangyu frowned, and there was a secret letter on his desk, which was passed on by Li Shan's spies. Lian Guangyu put down the family letter, opened the secret letter, looked at the contents of the letter, and fell into deep thought.
"Ding Qiu still has a disciple?"
"My subordinates don't know. β
Lian Guangyu's fingers lightly tapped the tabletop, with a hint of killing intent in his eyes, and the whole person looked extremely cold, he had worked for Li Shan all these years, and his subordinates didn't know how many lives there were.
"Song Yuanlin, Ding Qiu, Wu Qi, interesting. β
The corners of Lian Guangyu's mouth rose with a cold smile.
"Back to Changfeng City, I want to see who this Song Yuanlin is. β
"Yes, young master. β
At night, a group of people and horses set off from Li Mountain and headed towards Changfeng City.
......
When the word "Licheng" sounded, it meant that Song Yuanlin and Lian Xuan, the two hard-working mandarin ducks, had finally achieved Lian Li, and everyone in the audience stood up to bless.
"Wait a minute. β
A cold shout suddenly sounded, overshadowing everyone's voices, only to see a middle-aged man stepping through the door, followed by a team of people and horses, with cold killing intent.
"Who is this person, Lian Guangyu?"
Someone recognized who it was, and with a voice of surprise, said loudly.
"Oh my God, he is Lian Guangyu, Lian Guangyu who was accepted as a disciple by the sword-wielders of the three protectors of Li Mountain. β
"Yes, it's him. β
There were whispers all around, all talking about Lian Guangyu.
"It smells of blood. β
Wu Qi looked at Lian Guangyu who suddenly appeared, frowned and whispered.
"It's so murderous. β
Bai Sheng continued.
"He should be Lian Jiangdong's eldest son and Lian Xuan's eldest brother. β
Liang San said.
"Haha, Guangyu, you're back. β
Lian Jiangdong walked out of the house, with a smile on his face, and said loudly with a hint of excitement.
"The child visits his father. β
Lian Guangyu knelt down on one knee and gave Lian Jiangdong a big gift.
"Big brother. β
Lian Xuan also excitedly ripped off the red hijab, looked at Lian Guangyu and shouted, provoking the matchmaker next to him to say that this was an unlucky word.
"Sister, I haven't seen her for many years, and she's already a big girl. β
Song Yuanlin looked at the eldest brother he had never seen before, and the other party was also looking at him, the two looked at each other, and Song Yuanlin only felt cold all around.
"Song Yuanlin has seen the eldest brother. β
Lian Jiangdong didn't speak, but looked at him quietly, but his eyes gradually turned cold, and a trace of murderous aura appeared, and he asked:
"Song Yuanlin, who are you Ding Qiu?"
When he heard this name, Song Yuanlin's whole body was shocked, and his heart was like turning over the river, and a kind old man appeared in his mind.
......
"Child, if you want to live, go with the old man. An old man appeared in front of a child, and when he saw that the child was almost beaten to death for a steamed bun, he couldn't help but feel pity.
After the old man said this, he turned around and left slowly, without helping the child lying on the ground, the child looked at the old man who was slowly leaving, his eyes showed a look of determination, he struggled to get up from the ground, dragged his injured body, and followed the old man step by step.
The old man, as if he knew that the child was following him, slowed down his pace until the boy caught up with him and walked side by side with him.
"The old man's name is Ding Qiu. β
"My name is Song Yuanlin. β
The child spoke.
"From today onwards, you will be my disciple, and I will be your master. β
The child immediately stopped, knelt down, and bowed three times to Ding Qiu, with tears in his eyes.
"Good boy. β
Ding Qiu touched Song Yuanlin's head and helped him up.
"In the future, you follow the master to explore the rivers and lakes, and the old man will teach you everything he has learned in this life. β
"Yes"
Song Yuanlin's immature face was unusually firm.
Song Yuanlin lost his parents at a very early age, walking alone in this world, if it weren't for God's favor, I am afraid that he would have starved to death on the street, and now someone has taken him in, as if giving him a second life, like his reborn parents.
From that day on, Song Yuanlin followed Ding Qiu's footsteps and walked in the rivers and lakes, Ding Qiu taught him martial arts and taught him how to behave.
Although Song Yuanlin is stupid, he is diligent and hardworking, because he knows that this is an opportunity that can change his life, and he must seize it.
He doesn't want to live the days when he was almost beaten to death for a steamed bun, and he doesn't want to live the days when he was bullied, he wants to become stronger.
Ding Qiu taught him to practice swords, and he got up every day before dawn to practice swords, until the sun went down and fell asleep in the dead of night.
Although Ding Qiu is not a master in the rivers and lakes, there are no longer a few people who want to worship him, and there are many people who are better than Song Yuanlin, but Ding Qiu only accepted him as a disciple and inherited the mantle.
Spring goes to autumn, and twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Song Yuanlin has grown into a human being, although his cultivation is not high, but his swordsmanship has been passed on by Ding Qiu, even against people who are higher than his own cultivation.
"Yuanlin, for the invitation of the teacher and friend, I want to go to Changfeng City, wait for some time, you can come to find me, our master and apprentice have settled there, there is a house outside Changfeng City, which was bought by the master in the early years, if you can't find a teacher, just wait there." β
Ding Qiu is already gray-haired, but his eyes are as bright as stars, and he is old but not old.
"It's Master. β
Ding Qiu left first, when Song Yuanlin came to Changfeng City, but Ding Qiu was no longer seen, he found the house in Ding Qiu's mouth, and waited there for many days but no one was seen, and then he inquired in many ways and no one had seen Ding Qiu, as if he had evaporated out of thin air.
Song Yuanlin began to search frantically, until one day he found the long-missing Ding Qiu in a valley halfway to Changfeng City, but Ding Qiu was already a corpse.
The bones were full of sword wounds, presumably after a great battle, and finally the body was dumped here.
Song Yuanlin began to investigate the cause of his master's death, but he never found it, and now Ding Qiu's death was more than a year ago.
......
Lian Guangyu looked at Song Yuanlin's appearance, with a sneer, and said in a deep voice: "It turns out that you are the fish that slipped through the net, Ding Qiu's disciple." β
Song Yuanlin raised his head, his eyes were red, his breath began to be heavy, and his whole person was on the verge of going berserk: "How did my master die?"
"On that day, I pierced Ding Qiu's heart with a sword, how do you say he died?"
Lin Xuan's whole body was stunned, he couldn't believe what he heard, how could his brother be Song Yuanlin's killer.
"I'm going to kill you. β
Song Yuanlin, who had lost his mind at this moment, punched Lin Guangyu.
"Go and accompany your master!"
Lin Guangyu drew his long sword and stabbed at Song Yuanlin.
"Don't. β
Suddenly, a figure stood between the two, and a sword pierced the man's heart, punching the man in the back.
"Ah.....h
"Xuan'er"
"Xuan'er"
This sudden scene stunned everyone, no one thought that Song Yuanlin and Lian Guangyu had just met, and the two sides suddenly made a move, and Lian Xuan actually blocked in front of the two.
Wu Qi stepped on the table, came to Song Yuanlin in an instant, and was just about to beat Lian Guangyu to death with one palm.
"Don't kill my brother. β
Lian Xuan fell into Song Yuanlin's arms, the blood dyed the red robe even redder, Song Yuanlin seemed to be crazy, holding down the bloody wound, but he couldn't hold it down.
"Yuanlin, I'm sorry, Xuan'er can't accompany you anymore, you ...... Later...... Want...... Good...... Survive .....".
Lian Xuan's hand fell from Song Yuanlin's face, his eyes were closed, with a hint of a smile on his face, but there were tears in the corners of his eyes, and he left.
"Ah......h
Song Yuanlin hugged Lian Xuan and let out a loud roar.
Lian Guangyu looked at the long sword in his hand, the whole person was dumbfounded, looking at Lian Xuan who was lying in a pool of blood, he couldn't believe that all this was true.
Even Jiangdong had already passed out in a coma, and he was in a hurry.
"Xuan'er, Xuan'er, don't leave me, don't leave me, we said that we would grow old. β
Song Yuanlin looked at Lian Xuan who was in his arms stupidly, raised his right hand and slapped it towards the top of his head, wanting to be martyred.
Syllable......
A slap sounded, and Wu Qi directly knocked Song Yuanlin down.
"You're dead, what should Lian Xuan do? β
Wu Qi roared, looked at Lian Guangyu who was sitting on the ground, and grabbed him directly, the other party couldn't even resist, and was directly thrown by him in front of Song Yuanlin.
Song Yuanlin hugged Lin Xuan, didn't look at Lian Guangyu at all, and the whole person was demented.
"Let our young master go. β
The person who followed Lian Guangyu immediately rushed in.
"Roll"
With a loud shout, the group of people suddenly flew out like short-term kites, so frightened that the surrounding guests didn't even dare to speak.
Bai Sheng and Liang San came to Song Yuanlin's side, looking at him who was lost and depressed, and didn't know how to speak.
"Yuan Lin, take Miss Lian away!"
Bai Sheng said in a low voice.
Song Yuanlin seemed to hear Bai Sheng's words and hugged Lian Xuan from the ground.
"Xuan'er, let's go home. β
There was blood all the way, and Song Yuanlin just hugged Lian Xuan and walked out of the city step by step, and at the same time, the news of Lian Xuan's killing spread throughout Changfeng City.
Bai Sheng, Liang San and Lao Gai surrounded Song Yuanlin to clear the way for him, and Wu Qi dragged Lian Guangyu, who was like a dead chicken, to follow behind.
At the same time, this news was quickly transmitted to Li Mountain.
Even Jiang Dong came to his senses, and the first thing he did when he woke up was to call out to his daughter, and after his subordinates told him that he was taken away by Song Yuanlin, he ran out of the city with a crazy face.
At this time, at Song Yuanlin's house, Song Yuanlin put Lian Xuan on the bed and began to wash the blood stains on her face, meticulously, and whispered in her mouth.
Outside the house, Wu Qi looked at Lian Guangyu lying on the ground, and really wanted to slap the other party to death with one palm, but was stopped by Liang San.
"Wait for Yuanlin to deal with it himself!"
"Hey....."
Bai Sheng sighed and sat on the ground with a sad face.
"Daughter, daughter, my daughter. β
Lian Jiangdong's voice came, and I saw that his whole body was disheveled, his eyes were red, his whole body was trembling, and there was a lot of sludge on his body.
"Even uncle, you can't go in. β
Bai Sheng got up and stopped the other party outside the house with Liang San.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, I want to see my daughter, Xuan'er, father is sorry for you!"
After Lian Jiangdong struggled a few times, the whole person collapsed, fell to the ground and cried, and when he saw Lian Guangyu beside him, he suddenly got up, pulled him up, and roared.
"Tell me, why? Why? She's your sister, sister, how did you do it, how did you do it, tell me, why?"
Lian Jiangdong pushed Lian Guangyu to the ground, slapped him in the face one after another, and kept roaring in his mouth.
"Xuan'er, Xuan'er. β
Lian Guangyu was bleeding from his mouth, but he didn't know it, his eyes were blank, and his mouth kept reading Lian Xuan.
In the end, I don't know if Lian Jiangdong was tired, or he couldn't bear the pain of losing his beloved daughter, and fainted again.
Song Yuanlin in the house seemed to know what was going on outside the house, and had already put on a new wedding dress for Lian Xuan, combed her hair, painted her thrush, and put on red makeup for her.
"Madam, did your husband paint your eyebrows?"
Song Yuanlin asked, as if Lian Xuan was still alive.
The crowd outside the house was still waiting, silent, silent.
When the door opened, I saw Song Yuanlin walking out, and Lian Xuan, who was wearing red makeup, was lying on the bed, like a sleeping beauty.
"Shhhh β
Song Yuanlin whispered, gently closed the door, and looked at Lian Guangyu lying on the ground, but the whole person suddenly went crazy.
"I'm going to kill you. β
Liang San hurriedly hugged Song Yuanlin and yelled at him, "You are calm, calm down." β
"Tell us, what's going on?"
Song Yuanlin gasped, looked at Lian Guangyu, and listened to Liang San's words, and the whole person finally regained a trace of clarity.
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault. β
"Yuan Lin, tell us what happened and why Lian Xuan's brother suddenly attacked you. β
Wu Qi asked.
Song Yuanlin looked at Wu Qi, and finally said everything after struggling for a while, from how he met his master Ding Qiu, to his master's sudden death, and then he settled in Lianfeng City in order to find the cause of his master's death, but Song Yuanlin knew that it was impossible to find him Ding Qiu's cause of death with his own strength, and when he was practicing martial arts outside the city, he happened to meet Lian Xuan, who went out to go out, and the other party fell into the river because of a mistake, and was rescued by himself, after knowing that Lian Xuan was the daughter of the Lian family, he had a plan and wanted to use the power of the Lian family to investigate the cause of his master's deathγ
It's just that even Song Yuanlin didn't know that Lian Xuan was really in love with him, and he was also entangled with each other and fell in love with each other, but the moment he fell in love with Lian Xuan, he forgot his original intention.
But what he didn't expect was that because of his selfishness, he finally caused the person he loved the most to die in his arms, and if he was given a chance, he would never choose like this.
Everyone heard Song Yuanlin's story, but they didn't expect that there would be such twists and turns, for Song Yuanlin's selfishness, several people didn't make any judgment, whether it was good or bad was between Lian Xuan and him, but what they didn't expect was that Song Yuanlin's master was actually killed by Lian Guangyu.
"Now that I know these things, let's start with Lian Guangyu, but this matter is going to be said later, Yuanlin, let's let Lian Xuan enter the soil as soon as possible!"
Liang San persuaded.
Song Yuanlin nodded.
A day later, next to Master Song Yuanlin, there was a new grave, which was Lian Xuan's grave, and Song Yuanlin knelt on the ground and touched the tombstone.
"Beloved wife, Lian Xuan's tomb. β
Lian Jiangdong was stimulated too much because of Lian Xuan's matter, and the whole person became crazy, only when he looked at Lian Xuan's tombstone, he had the moment of soberness, and this figure who covered the sky with one hand in Changfeng City finally fell.
