Chapter 22: A Simple Story

Many, many years ago, the land of Shenzhou was in chaos, with heroes competing for deer and princes dividing their territories, and every day on this land, countless people died, and countless heroic stories were born. In that environment, many warriors and knights who have no background and backing form a martial arts league, which is a loose organization, they do not occupy territory, do not raise private soldiers, and do not stand with the princes. However, if any force has caused harm to the family and friends of the people in the Martial Arts Alliance, the Martial Arts Alliance will pour out to ask for an explanation. Although everyone is a person who licks blood from the knife edge on the rivers and lakes, and they are all headed by self-protection in the troubled times, but the principle of the martial arts league has also attracted a large number of masters and heroes in the rivers and lakes to defect. For a long time, the Wulin League became the force with the most masters in the world at that time, and its cohesion was also extraordinary, and no prince dared to provoke them.

At that time, the name of the leader of the martial arts league has long been untestable, only know that the people on the rivers and lakes call him "the god of the fish and dragon sword", on martial arts is one of the best masters in the world, and his strategy and management methods are also extremely clever. However, this fish dragon sword god is too domineering because of his martial arts practice, causing him to be plagued by a strange disease, which has to be sick once a month, and when the illness occurs, the six relatives do not recognize him, and his temperament is crazy, so he has to spend every month in a small room. Until one day, when he locked himself in a small room and waited for the onset of the disease, his wife brought him a meal, and at this time, the sword god had a frenzy and accidentally beat his wife to death.

After learning about this, the son of the fish dragon sword god couldn't forgive his father, so he chose to run away from home and walk the rivers and lakes under the pseudonym Bai Jinyu. At that time, this fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, because of his peerless martial arts talent and inherited his father's top mind, quickly broke into some fame in the rivers and lakes, and the young man was handsome, so people called him "White Jade Son". In the next few years, Bai Yu Gongzi gradually became a first-class figure in the rivers and lakes, chivalrous and righteous, and made friends, during which many stories also happened, in general, Bai Yu Gongzi step by step, won the recognition of all walks of life in the martial arts, and his reputation is getting bigger and bigger, so big that the Wulin League wants to post in person, inviting this young Bai Yu Gongzi to join the alliance as an elder.

At this time, seven or eight years have passed since he ran away from home, and the boy has grown into a young man, and the handsome young man of the year has also gone through the world and has become a peerless master of a generation of heroic and domineering appearances. When Bai Yugongzi returned to the helm of the Wulin League again, that is, his own home, many people no longer recognized him, including his father. At that time, the reputation of the leader of the martial arts alliance, the fish dragon sword god, in the rivers and lakes was unparalleled, and he would organize a conference every year, aiming to gather the masters of the alliance to compete and rank the seniors by strength, and Bai Yu Gongzi was extremely powerful, so he naturally took the stage to participate in the competition. At the end of the day, Bai Yu Gongzi defeated several famous masters on the rivers and lakes in a row, and the call was extremely high, and it was at this time that he publicly revealed his identity as the son of the Fish Dragon Sword God and challenged his father.

The new and old generations of peerless masters are a father and son, which is a martial arts story, but the family affairs are complicated, but they are not enough for outsiders. When Bai Yu Gongzi was in a duel with the Fish Dragon Sword God, he either remembered his mother's unjust death, and he was ruthless and attracted the key points, while the Fish Dragon Sword God thought of his wife and felt guilty about his son, but retreated step by step. After the two of them passed a hundred moves, Bai Yu Gongzi broke the famous stunt of the Fish Dragon Sword God "Canghai Sword Dance" with one sword, and severely injured his father.

Originally, this matter came to this point, and it could be regarded as an end, it was impossible for Bai Yu Gongzi to kill his father, and that sword could be regarded as exhausting the evil spirit in his heart for many years, and the myth of the undefeated Fish Dragon Sword God was broken, and it was only natural that he would pass on the throne to his son. However, who would have expected that after the two fathers and sons were exhausted and shook hands and made peace, a large number of soldiers and horses were suddenly killed and slaughtered the martial arts people present. In the end, the Fish Dragon Sword God was pierced through the heart by ten thousand arrows and died, and Bai Yu Gongzi also fell into a bitter battle, and then he was seriously injured and fled away, and the Wulin League fell apart on the spot and came to naught. It turned out that at that time, a prince and king had already fixed the chaos in the world by virtue of the technique of combining vertical and horizontal, so before he unified the Central Plains, he was determined to eliminate this huge unstable force on the rivers and lakes, so he took this golden opportunity to attack the Wulin League.

Bai Yugongzi, who broke out of the encirclement, was seriously injured and unable to hide, and was chased and killed along the way, and almost died many times. Later, he was fortunate to meet his best friend Tang 15 and his confidante Bu Chan, the two rescued Bai Yu Gongzi in a siege, took him to a paradise, and worked hard to treat his injuries, the three of them retired to the rivers and lakes, no longer asked about the world, each accepted a few apprentices, taught martial arts to live.

However, after some years, they heard about what had happened outside of Taoyuan at that time. The princes and kings who destroyed the Wulin League really unified the Central Plains and became the first emperor of the ages. Then, the emperor ruthlessly slaughtered the world's warriors again, and carried out a great purge of the hundred schools of thought that were born in the troubled times, leaving only the legalists who advocated the rule of law, and plunged the whole world into bloody terror. Bai Yu Gongzi and Tang Fifteen and Bu Chan could no longer sit idly by, and Bai Yu Gongzi basically recovered his strength before he was seriously injured at this time, and decided to go out of the mountain to take revenge, so the three of them joined forces to step into the rivers and lakes again and started a maneuver with the emperor.

Bai Yu Gongzi is a very clear-minded person, he understands that with the strength of the three of them, he can't compete with the strength of the whole country at all, even if the three of them have high martial arts, they can't defeat thousands of troops. Therefore, they began to recruit some princes, queens, or generals who had been exterminated by the emperor before, and took in the descendants of the sons and hundreds of families who were hunted down, and placed them in a paradise to secretly accumulate strength. In the next ten years, their power gradually grew, and the paradise could no longer be settled, so Tang Fifteen and Bu Chan found two hidden places in the outer land in order to accumulate strength. These three places, one is in Jinghu, one is in Taibai Mountain in the far north, and the other is the Six Peerless Wonderlands of Shu in the southwest.

Soon, the time came, and the emperor's rule of the world made the whole world complain. The emperor also fell ill soon because of overwork, and within two years, he passed away, allowing his young second son to succeed him. At this time, Bai Yu Gongzi quickly organized the hidden forces in the world and seized this opportunity to launch an attack on the huge empire that was extremely poor and luxurious at that time.

This war was fought for many years. Although the white jade prince himself has great wisdom, he is not willing to compete for the world. As for him, the emperor was dead, and someone else took over the destruction of the empire, so he stopped asking about these things and lived in seclusion again. Later, one of his disciples and a disciple of Tang Fifteen successfully destroyed the huge empire and fought for the world, which is all a story for later.

When Bai Yugongzi has entered the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, his best friend Tang Shifu is also tired of the world, and Buchan, the confidant of his youth, has already married a wife, but her husband also died in a war. Therefore, the three of them once again walked hand in hand to find heirs for their peerless wisdom and martial arts.

In this process, Bai Yu Gongzi's Spirit Mirror Gate, Tang Fifteen's Heavenly King Sect, and Bu Chan's Fengshen Pavilion gradually took shape. Lingjingmen left behind the descendants of the hundred families of the sons taken in by the white jade prince back then, and in the Taibai Mountain Range, where the Tianwang Sect is located, there are countless old generals and heroes in the rivers and lakes, and the noble children of those princes and kings have all gone to the fairyland-like Fengshen Pavilion.

Later, Bai Yugongzi accepted one of his favorite apprentices.

That's a little girl, the little girl seems to be the descendant of the Yellow Emperor in the world, is the real ancient bloodline, excellent talent, extraordinary wisdom, Bai Yu Gongzi has said frankly many times that this little girl's future achievements can definitely surpass herself, so she taught her own skills, even Tang fifteen and Bu Chan's skills, the little girl also learned seventy-seven eighty-eight unconsciously, and when she became an adult, she was already one of the best masters in the world.

However, things are not always as good as they should be.

With the passage of time, the white jade prince has become an old man of white jade, and he is gradually dying of old age. In this legendary life, he has accumulated bottomless strength, his martial arts have long exceeded the world's guesses, and his knowledge has also reached the realm of immortals, although people are old, but he has a deep wisdom like the sea of stars, but he exudes a charm that he did not have when he was young. The girl studied with Bai Yu since she was a child and regarded Bai Yu as her father, but when she became an adult, she fell in love with the old man out of control.

The age difference between the two is more than half a child, and they are masters and apprentices, and the girl's feelings are not tolerated by the world. Bai Yu Gongzi also quickly discovered the abnormality of his apprentice. The wise old man tried to guide the girl in various ways to make her change her mind, but no matter how great the wisdom was, the girl fell deeper and deeper, and even went mad many times during her cultivation. And every time Bai Yugongzi saved her, she loved her master even more, and she couldn't extricate herself at all. And many elders in the Spirit Mirror Sect also gradually discovered the clues, so they began to put pressure on her to understand her identity, so as to break this impossible thought, not to ruin the reputation of Bai Yu Gongzi I, and not to cut off her unlimited future.

However, this situation did not last long. Bai Yu Gongzi was extremely seriously injured when he was young, and even if he later regained his strength, as he grew older, the dark injuries began to erupt. In addition, the girl went crazy many times, and Bai Yu Gongzi also spent a lot of effort to treat him, which made his body worse day by day, and he soon fell seriously ill. The girl with a heart like colic felt guilty, and no longer asked for anything, and in the next few years, she just served by Bai Yugongzi's side, but many times in the past had gone mad, and it had also seriously hurt her meridians and body, and her cultivation began to regress, and her mind was often lost.

The girl knew that she might not be able to die well. She only wanted to be able to leave something for her beloved Master. So she worked hard to quietly build a huge mausoleum in the Lingjing Gate, and also restored the scenery of the valley where the master lived on weekdays in the mausoleum. Bai Yugongzi gradually reached the point of dying, and the girl became more and more likely to lose her mind, not knowing who she was, not thinking of where she was, and not knowing what to do. So while she was still conscious, she ordered one of her junior disciples to save Bai Yugongzi's body by special means and send it to this mausoleum after his death, and then left only a powerful guard made of Yanshu and left quietly.

Since then, no one in the Spirit Mirror Gate has known where the girl has gone, and there has been no news of her in the world. At her request, no deeds about her were circulated from the Spirit Mirror Gate. When Bai Yugongzi died, his favorite apprentice seemed to disappear from the world and passed away indifferently from people's memories.
