Chapter 4: Retreat

"Wu Ye took away the Nine Dragons Jade Flute, we forcibly suppressed it, how could the imperial court know?" asked Guangling puzzled.

"There is no such thing as an impermeable wall. Shiya replied, but what worried him was more than that, "What I am most concerned about at this moment is how the emperor knows? Who will slander an emperor who is bent on fighting and provoke right and wrong in the rivers and lakes?"

Guangling was a little dazed, "It seems that we are ignoring someone." And this person should be right next to us. ”

Shiya's expression was shocked, and then he smiled: "The arrow hidden in the shadows will not stop if we don't shoot us to death, and it is not difficult to find him, we just need to wait and see what happens! ”

Shiya turned his head suddenly, and then said, "For example, this tricky matter right now, do you have a way to deal with it?"

"The secret order was sent to Baihe Mountain, but you came to ask me. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Guangling sat back under the pavilion and asked while pouring tea, "What do you mean?"

"If he can discuss with you calmly, it's not me who drinks tea here now," Shiya shook his head and replied with a smile, "In his meaning, the rivers and lakes are the rivers and lakes, and he can't take care of so many false courtesies, and directly beat the father-in-law who passed the decree out of Baihe Mountain." ”

Guangling laughed loudly when he heard this, "This old Jianghu is still so vicious and hateful, and he is not afraid of power! Like him, who in the world can do it! But even if it is Jianghu, he can't be so casual." His smiling face finally calmed down, and he asked, "Since you came to discuss with me, presumably, you already have a good plan?"

Shiya drank tea and sighed, "The rivers and lakes belong to the younger generations, and the questions you and I can't answer are better left to the descendants." ”

Guangling was shocked, he looked at Zhou Shiya's expression with a bit of detachment, and he couldn't help but panic in his heart.

"Could it be ......" Guangling wanted to speak and stopped, as if he was waiting for Zhou Shiya to confirm the guess in his heart.

The two did not speak for a long time, and in the end, it was Shiya who broke the silence.

"The reason why the imperial court issued an edict to my two brothers is nothing more than the false name of Baihe Mountain and his past rewards. If we act according to the secret order, we will fall into the trap of others, and there will be no peace in the rivers and lakes. But once it violates the holy will, in terms of reason, I am afraid that it will not be justified. How many conspiracies you have come and gone with me over the years, all of them have caused problems for my two brothers, and we will not stop for a day...... "When Shiya spoke, he suddenly found that Guangling was staring at him, and his expression was quite solemn.

Shiya sighed slightly, and then said: "The grass and trees change, life changes, as I just said, the rivers and lakes belong to the younger generations. For you and me, there is no answer to this matter. ”

A gust of mountain wind blew, raising a strand of white hair on Guangling's sideburns. He looked sideways into the distance, tears streaming down his eyes.

Seeing him like this, Shiya paused slightly, but he still had to finish his words after all.

"Therefore, Tian Yong and I decided to retire to the rivers and lakes, and Baihe Mountain was handed over to Zhou Ying to be in charge. ”

Before he could say a word, Guangling interrupted him and said, "Will that solve the current mess?"

Shiya said: "At that time, he only needs to submit a petition for guilt, claiming that his prestige is insufficient, and he has no command to the rivers and lakes." Without Zhou Shiya and Zhou Tianyong in Baihe Mountain, the strength and appeal are naturally not as good as before, if you want to destroy the Six Hanging Peaks, it is nonsense. ”

Guangling still looked into the distance, and seemed to be sobbing slightly.

"You don't have to be sad, the two of us don't care about these false names, the great road is in our hearts, where is not cultivation?"

Guangling turned around for a long time, and the old tears were full of tears!"If it weren't for that evil obstacle, why would you ......?"

"Even if there is no Wu Ye, the imperial court will find other excuses to seize the Nine Dragons Jade Flute, and the number of days is like this!" Speaking of this, Shiya also felt that the world was cold, and his heart couldn't help but feel sour.

"Is there no other way?"

"It's not that there is no way, but the two of us will not stop for a day when the imperial court's strategy of suppressing Wuxiang Mountain with Baihe Mountain will not stop for a day. Instead of fighting wits and fighting the law, it is better to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, hoping that the imperial court can be based on the country, for the world, for the people, and do more practical things. If the country is not strong, the war on the frontier will not stop for a day. ”

When Yu Guangling heard this, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and with a long roar, he waved his hand to split a nan tree outside the pavilion into two. The leaves of the trees fell one after another, making the two old people under the pavilion feel desolate.

"Tian Yong and I have already arranged a trip, and in the future, the dignity and order of this river and lake will be defended by you and them. In the troubled times, I hope that the common people can get a piece of peace. ”

Yu Guangling couldn't stop crying, and he wanted to dissuade him when he turned around, but Shiya had already walked out of the water pavilion and walked down the mountain along a bay of streams.

After the prosperity, the rest must be withered, even the powerful Min Tian Dao and Hong Tian Dao people, can not escape the fate of the replacement of the old and the new, as he said, 'the road in the heart', where is not the fate of the world? This may be the immortal reason of the saint.

Guangling looked at the back of the end of the world, even if they were not today, but in his heart, looking at this back again, it was like a different world, especially in this scene of falling trees.

At dusk, the mountain breeze on the shore of Yunliu Lake stopped abruptly, and everything returned to calm.

A round of sunset is held up by the wide lake, as if it has not been willing to set.

Zhou Tianyong had a busy day, and at this time he had a little free time, and he was bored, so he came to Yunliu Lake alone for a walk.

Not far away, there is a cracked boulder, reflecting the afterglow of the sunset, and you can vaguely see the three big characters of 'Ask Sword Stone'. As everyone knows, this is the treasure place where the sword is slaughtered and the ice jade sword is enshrined. When Tu Jian was alive, this was the forbidden place of Wuxiang Mountain, and few people had ever seen the Ice Jade Sword. Until the rebellion of Molu twenty years ago, Tu Jian pulled out the ice jade sword from the stone and fought with Molu on the shore of Yunliu Lake for three days and three nights. After the defeat of Mo Luo, Zhou Tianyong put it into the Dan furnace and refined it into two gold pills, and Tu Jian carved the cold ice jade sword into two jade flutes to store the gold pill in order to prevent the gold pill from entering the world. After that, the Yunliu Lake's 'Ask Sword Stone' became famous all over the world. Yu Guangling for the virtue of the teacher, will be open to outsiders, the world every time here, will think of the hermit, for the peace of the world and dedication to the immortal hermit, Tu Jian.

Zhou Tianyong revisited his hometown, and he didn't feel that he was full of thoughts. He used to be an unruly ranger, and since he apprenticed to Jiang Weng, he has returned to his true nature and realized the avenue. Twenty years ago, the rebellion of Molu was caused by his master's injury, and finally ended with him throwing Molu into the Dan furnace. Later generations mentioned, why remember the ancients?

Tian Yong's sorrow came from it, and he thought of the old man again, and burst into tears.

At this time, he has decided to retire from the world, and this line of work can be regarded as saying goodbye to the past.

"The bloody battle twenty years ago failed to dye Yunliu Lake red, but this round of sunset gave this place a unique charm. ”

Tian Yong heard someone sighing, hurriedly turned around, and saw Zhou Shiya walking towards him. Tian Yong sighed in a low voice and smiled wryly.

"Why didn't Yi'er come with you?" asked Shiya.

"I was going to come, but my father stopped him. He said it was windy here, and he would bring him over at noon tomorrow. ”

"Wouldn't that suffocate him?"

"There's no way to do it, Zhou Ying and Yufu are afraid that he will suffer the cool breeze here. Tian Yong said this, and paused slightly, "Then again, why isn't his heart knot doing trouble." ”

"It's not just the husband and wife, I'm afraid even Zhou Xi and Zhou Yue are not worried about Zhou Yi's situation. After all, the disaster back then made me Baiheshan ...... "The end of the world wants to talk and stops." The two brothers looked side by side at the calm lake, but their hearts were like turbulent waves.

Thinking of the accident in Baihe Mountain thirteen years ago, they lost a lively apprentice, and both of them could grit their teeth. Although it was not confirmed in the end that the assassin who broke into Baihe Mountain and snatched Zhou Sheng was a person from Wuxiang Mountain, as far as the situation is concerned, the rumors in the rivers and lakes all pointed to the identity of the suspect in Wuxiang Mountain.

"I have already told Yu Guangling, this time, I should have come to say goodbye. ”

"What did he say?"

"In a short period of time, it is still unacceptable. ”

Tian Yong's half-open mouth was still closed. This best friend of Wuxiang Mountain, who was born and died with him back then, the two are irreversible friends, the reason why Zhou Shiya went to Guangling for a showdown today is somewhat difficult to face the scene of the old man parting, he is not a hypocritical person, and he has a bit of meaning to interpret the coldness to the end.

Tian Yong was pondering, and suddenly heard Zhou Yi's voice calling him.

Shiya and Tian Yong looked back at the same time, and Zhou Yu and Yufu were not far behind them with Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi ran to them and asked with a confused face, "Master Tai, where are you going, why are you leaving Baihe Mountain?"

Tian Yong looked at Zhou Yu and Yufu, and then fell on Zhou Yi's face.

"There are more things waiting for Master Tai to do in the distance. Tian Yong replied.

"However, you haven't taught me kung fu yet, and Baihe Mountain can't do without you!"

"Yi'er, you have grown up, you have to know how to be willing to be a good child who shares the worries of your parents!" Tian Yong choked up a little, he didn't want Zhou Yi to see his lost look, so he turned to look at the lake behind him, "Master Tai is a hero admired by the world, so you should do what ordinary people can't do." Just like this sunset, if he doesn't go down, how can the stars in the sky be seen!"

Hearing him say this, Zhou Yideng burst into tears. He hurriedly waved his sleeves to wipe away his tears, frowned, and held his breath without crying.

Yufu walked to Zhou Yi's side and said to Zhou Yi in a firm tone: "Zhou Yi, you should know what kind of burden you will have to bear on your shoulders in the future, if you have been so weak-tempered, how can your master rest assured?"

Zhou Yi looked up at his mother, stunned for a moment, and then wiped his tears and knelt behind Shiya and Tianyong.

"Master Tai, Yi'er will definitely grow up, Yi'er will definitely make Baihe Mountain bright, and it will definitely make the ...... back then" Zhou Yi suddenly stopped, looked up at his mother, and swallowed back a sentence that came to his lips.

Shiya picked Zhou Yi up, wiped the tears from his cheeks, and said: "A good man, it is enough to be informal in everything and not forget your heart." You're just a child, don't care about the hardships you have experienced in the past or now! Master, I hope you can go further!"

Zhou Yi looked surprised, and the grandfather and grandson stared at each other, as if they had read the most indescribable pain in each other's hearts.

Zhou Yi stood beside his parents and looked back at the sunset in the distance again, only to see a sea of fire in the vast sky, which was both shocking and sentimental.
