Chapter 257: Love Rises and Falls, True Love Is Hard to Break (2
"I know. As soon as Huang Bencao's voice fell, Tuyuan Venerable couldn't hold it back, since Huang Bencao had already begun, Zong Zheng had to find Xijie if he wanted to cure the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, and sooner or later he couldn't hide it, so it was better to just say it all.
Zong Zheng shifted his gaze to the Tuyuan Venerable, Huang Bencao was also puzzled, he had guessed who it was, but it was only limited to guessing.
"Who is it?" Zong Zheng asked, his eyes couldn't hide the sadness in secret, in his heart, the senior sister is such a noble and cold person, how could she suddenly become pregnant, it is impossible to calculate the time, he is not only grateful to the senior sister, but also admired, if you have to dig deeper, he does not dare to deny that he does have a little affection for the senior sister, no one in the Pangu Cave will easily let go, the world of two people, a man and a woman, the days are long, if it is said that there is no half of the mutual admiration is always understatement, no one believes it, just say that Xijie loves more deeply, and Zong Zheng has more Xianjie in his heartγ
"Zongzheng, you heard clearly, the father of the child is you. Venerable Tu Yuan said very solemnly, with grievances for Xi Jie's grievances, with deep pity and sympathy for their mother and son.
"It's me?" Zong Zheng couldn't believe it, and Tu Yuan Venerable's words hit him like a thunderbolt, "How is it possible?"
Huang Bencao seemed to have expected it, he was not the slightest surprised, the relationship has always been a fan of the authorities, and in his healing years, he had long felt that Xi Jie was not just a senior sister and brother to Zongzheng, but now it has been confirmed, he may think more of Xianjie!
Venerable Tu Yuan explained the ins and outs of everything to Zongzheng.
After listening to the narration of Venerable Tu Yuan, Zong Zheng suddenly remembered a dream he had at that time, and then he woke up like a dream and suddenly realized, "It turns out that all this is true, not a dream." β
He suddenly felt sorry for his senior sister, she sacrificed the most precious innocence of a woman for herself, she knew that the person she loved the most was Xianjie, and in order to fulfill herself and Xianjie, she kept this matter secret, and endured it silently alone, he seemed to be able to imagine what kind of pain and entanglement her senior sister had experienced.
"How can this be? Senior sister, I'm sorry for you, I'm afraid I can't pay it off in this life. Zong Zheng sighed deeply in his heart, all kinds of things in the past are in front of him, the selfless treatment of Pangu Cave, intimate care, the personal adventure of Juxian Pavilion, timely rescue, and...
Zong Zheng was immersed in gratitude and guilt for his senior sister's past kindness.
"Who?" Suddenly, Tu Yuan Venerable felt something strange outside the window, and with one palm, he broke open the window and chased out, only to see a white figure disappearing into the vast night.
Tu Yuan Venerable stopped, and immediately had a bad premonition, he might have guessed who it was, how could one pair of people he loved deeply, and the other could easily give up.
After turning back to the inn, Zong Zheng asked Venerable Tuyuan about the situation.
Tu Yuan Venerable suspected that it was Situ Xianjie who was hiding outside and eavesdropping, and in the face of Zongzheng's inquiry, he was a little entangled, if the words just now were really heard by Situ Xianjie, he didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be, let alone what kind of worries Zongzheng would have if he knew about it.
"I didn't see it clearly, and there was no one chasing out. Venerable Tu Yuan paused for a moment and replied.
Zong Zheng didn't care, he was still in a sudden stunned.
One is a person who is unable to have children, but loves deeply, and the other is a senior sister who already has her own children and has no emotional foundation and is particularly respected.
Zong Zheng didn't know how to face his senior sister, let alone how to face Xianjie.
The night was quiet, so quiet that you could hear the pain in the hearts of two people who were about to break*.
At dawn the next day, Huang Bencao left a letter and left quietly with Hu Shicong, Zong Zheng read Huang Bencao's letter, without too much sadness, he and Tuyuan Venerable went in the direction of Pangu Peak.
Along the way, in fact, Venerable Tu Yuan knew that there was always a white figure behind them, but he knew it in his heart and never broke it.
With a disabled person in a wheelchair, the journey was circuitous, but it took a lot of time, they went through hard work, but they finally reached the foot of Pangu Peak safely.
Looking at the cliff next to the entrance in front of him, Zong Zheng remembered the situation in the past when he was seriously injured by the misunderstanding of the major factions and joined forces to besiege him, and now he is back here again, all the misunderstandings have been solved, the vicissitudes of the world, many things are always unclear, but it seems to imply the fate of the law, now looking back, if there is no serious injury that day, he will not strayed into Pangu Peak, and he will not have the opportunity to see his senior sister, and there will be no right and wrong today.
Venerable Tuyuan carried Zongzheng on his back and followed the route guided by Zongzheng to the depths of the mountain.
Walking after walking, when he came to the outside of Pangu Cave, Zong Zheng didn't seem to be mentally prepared to face everything that followed, and he asked Venerable Tuyuan to let go of himself.
Sitting on the stone platform, looking at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, listening to the flowing water of the stream in the distance, Zong Zheng kept calming his mood, he imagined entering the Pangu Cave to see his senior sister, and even seeing his own child, but he didn't dare to think about it anymore after thinking about it.
"You can't escape what you have to face. Venerable Tu Yuan saw the cowardice in Zong Zheng's heart.
Zongzheng closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "Let's go in!" It took a long time to open his eyes and make up his mind.
Looking for a familiar and unfamiliar route, Venerable Tuyuan carried Zongzheng to Pangu Cave, and as soon as they entered the cave, the two heard the crisp cry of a baby.
That kind of crying shook Zongzheng's heart, "Is it the cry of your own child?"
Smelling this crying sound, the two slowly walked towards the cave, getting closer and closer, until they came to the outside of the senior sister's boudoir, and the voice of the senior sister coaxing the baby gradually became clear, and the gentle and sweet voice was the same as Zongzheng's previous impression of the senior sister.
Tu Yuan Venerable carried Zongzheng on his back, and the footsteps were too heavy, even the cry of a baby could not be concealed, and Xi Jie naturally sensed it.
"Who? Xijie shouted.
Originally, he wanted to listen to the voice of the child and senior sister quietly, but he didn't expect to be exposed so soon, so Venerable Tuyuan appeared in front of Xi Jie with Zongzheng behind his back.
At that time, Xi Jie was still breastfeeding one of the children, and the moment she saw Zongzheng, her mind went blank, and the cry of another child in the bamboo basket next to her still echoed vividly in the cave.
Xi Jie sat on the stone platform and looked at it blankly, her eyes were motionless, her eyes were full of Zongzheng's face, and the fish white was gradually ruddy.
When Zong Zheng saw the senior sister in front of him, as well as the two children in her arms and in the bamboo basket, he couldn't hold back any longer, and his tears rolled straight in his eyes.
He was pleasantly surprised, he had a queen, he had children of his own, and there were still two, and he could comfort his parents who were watching him in heaven, and how happy they would be if they were still there;
He felt guilty, and his senior sister endured it silently, giving birth to two children for herself, but she didn't know anything, she didn't know that she sacrificed her innocence for herself, and she didn't know how much pain and pressure she had to bear in giving birth to these two children.
He was flustered, he didn't know how to face his senior sister, how to face these two children, how to face Xianjie, he was now a crippled body, if he could, he wanted to hug these two children with his own hands, but he couldn't.
For a while, the kind of surprise, guilt and panic made him feel unaware, but more of a manifestation was powerless excitement.
"Senior brother, what's wrong with you?" After Xijie calmed down, she quickly noticed that Zong Zheng was seriously injured, she quickly put the child who was sucking breast milk into the bamboo basket, and stepped forward to cooperate with Tuyuan Venerable to help Zong Zheng lie flat on her stone bed.
At the moment of helping, Xi Jie could already feel that Zongzheng's eight veins of the Qi Jing had been broken, she looked at Zongzheng's vicissitudes of life, and felt distressed in her heart, she didn't know what her junior brother had experienced.
"Senior brother, tell the senior sister, who injured you like this? The senior sister sought revenge on him and asked him to return it tenfold and hundredfold. Xi Jie stroked Zong Zheng's pale face with her soft hands, very excited, her tears fell on Zong Zheng's neck in an instant, that kind of hot, that kind of slippery, Zong Zheng has never felt so unforgettable, the senior sister's heartfelt anger and distress is precisely the embodiment of deep love for herself, true feelings, Zong Zheng this time is to feel it with his heart, if he did it before, he may still think that it is the love of the senior sister for the younger brother.
"Miss Xijie, I hurt him like this. Tu Yuan Venerable said softly behind his back.
Xi Jie was very surprised, she turned around and looked at Tu Yuan Venerable suspiciously, "Why?
Xi Jie was quite calm, and she didn't fight immediately, because she knew very well that there must be a reason for this, otherwise Venerable Tu Yuan would definitely not go all the way back to Pangu Cave to find herself behind Zongzheng's back.
"Don't blame the Tuyuan senior," Zongzheng said weakly, "It was all my idea, I made him do it. β
"What, how can you be so stupid!" Xi Jie said this with deep distress and incomprehension.
"Don't ask, senior sister. Zongzheng's tears could no longer be suppressed, sliding down the corners of his eyes and down his cheeks.
"Senior sister, child, can I take a look at these two children?" Zong Zheng heard the child's cry, and wanted to see what his child looked like.
Xi Jie suddenly felt that Zongzheng's reaction was abnormal, she had a hunch, he seemed to know the truth, not only did he not ask about his child curiously, but also showed the faint joy of being a first-time father for the child.
She glanced back at Venerable Tu Yuan, who saw what she meant from Xi Jie's eyes, and unconsciously avoided Xi Jie's eyes.
Xi Jie already felt that Venerable Tu Yuan had told Zong Zheng the truth, and she didn't know if Zong Zheng knew if this was right, and she had no intention of blaming Venerable Tu Yuan, maybe at this moment, she was more concerned about Zong Zheng's injury, as well as her beloved, her two twin sons.
