Chapter 15: The Mystery of Life
When he approached, he saw dozens of strong men carrying bundles of firewood around the wooden house, Huo Longbiao and Yi Feisheng stood in front of the crowd with a lewd smile, and behind them, there were three rows of archers, pointing cold and shining arrows at the wooden house.

Duan Hongyu flashed out of the shadows and said loudly: "Huo Longbiao, you despicable and shameless traitor, if you want to take revenge, you will come to me in the open, but why do you use such vicious methods?"
This sound scared Huo Longbiao and Yi Feisheng to the core. When the two saw that it was Duan Hongyu, they each held their weapons in their hands. Huo Longbiao trembled and said, "Duan thief, you ...... Why are you here?"
At this time, the heavens and the earth have each held a big stick to catch up. Huo Longbiao scolded sharply: "You two ungrateful bastards, I have always treated you well, but I didn't expect you to report to this little thief, I really hate not to kill you." ”
Tianzhu said: "You blame us for being ruthless and unjust, but you are ruthless and unrighteous first." ”
Huo Longbiao was so angry that he smoked, and his body was together, and he slashed at the two brothers with two knives.
Duan Hongyu knew that Heaven and Earth were not Huo Longbiao's opponents at all, and together with the silver flute in his hand, he blocked Huo Longbiao's steel knife with a move of "smelling the chicken and dancing". The swords and flutes are combined, and Venus is rising. Both of them worked hard at this time, Huo Longbiao was shocked and took three steps back to stabilize his body, and Duan Hongyu also felt that the tiger's mouth was slightly numb.
Yi Feisheng had learned Duan Hongyu's power, and pondered that the eldest brother was not Duan Hongyu's opponent, so he suddenly stabbed out of the oblique stab, slammed a stick, and knocked Duan Hongyu obliquely on the temple. Duan Hongyu didn't answer the move, his body stepped back, and he got out of the way. At this time, the archers gathered around the house, and one after another sharp arrows rained down on Duan Hongyu and the heavens and the earth.
Duan Hongyu said loudly: "Two, I deal with Huo Longbiao and Yi Feisheng, how will these archers be handed over to you?"
Di Xuan said: "Just these few small shrimps, they are not enough for our brothers to row, and even those who carry firewood and grass are handed over to us." ”
Duan Hongyu said: "Okay." There was a burst of hands and kicks, and countless sharp arrows immediately returned to the past, and seven or eight archers fell to the ground in an instant.
Heaven and earth saw the opportunity and roared into the pile. The two brothers were more than enough to deal with these archers. After a burst of silver wheels, all the archers shouted and shouted, and one by one they staggered and scattered.
Duan Hongyu was too tired today, and he couldn't resist it for a while in the face of Huo Longbiao and Yi Feisheng's powerful offensive. He retreated step by step, and could only use clever tricks to deal with the two of them.
Huo Longbiao saw that revenge was in sight, and he couldn't help but rise in spirit, the sword wind was whistling, and he went forward with all his might, eager to immediately break Duan Hongyu's body into pieces.
Duan Hongyu's body slowed slightly, and he was hooked by Yi Feisheng's right foot on his left leg, and he fell to the ground, and at the same time, Huo Longbiao slashed down with a knife.
Just at the last moment, suddenly a figure approached like a ghost, and before Yi Feisheng and Huo Longbiao could react, they had already been grabbed by this person's claws, and the two were thrown more than three feet away, and fell to the ground at the same time.
Duan Hongyu jumped up from the ground, but saw that it was the Ziyun Venerable who made the shot. Behind him, Yun Qing and Zhang Songshan had also come to the front. Master Ziyun's face was full of anger, and he shouted, "You two are so vicious, you will definitely be killed." I don't want to take your lives, so run for your lives!"
Huo Longbiao and Yi Feisheng knew from the move of the person on the purple cloud that this person's martial arts were unfathomable, where would they dare to fight again? They got up from the ground, turned around and fled.
Not far from escaping, Huo Longbiao suddenly turned around, he looked at Ziyun Master carefully, his face changed suddenly, and he exclaimed: "Mo Jianchou, you are 'one person in ancient times' Mo Jianchou, everyone thought you were dead, it turned out that you were hiding here." He pulled Yi Feisheng and gritted his teeth.
Duan Hongyu knelt on the ground and said, "Master, it's the junior's mistake, you can punish me!"
Venerable Ziyun's face was heavy, and he sighed and said, "Hongyu, you come with me." Duan Hongyu didn't know what the Venerable Ziyun was looking for him, and he didn't dare to ask, so he just followed him quietly.
The Venerable Purple Cloud led Duan Hongyu to the stone house. He looked at the figure in the candlelight, and his eyes were full of love, but soon his face suddenly became angry again.
Duan Hongyu couldn't understand why the Venerable Ziyun was like this, and quietly watched the change in the Venerable Ziyun's expression. After a long time, Master Ziyun said, "Hongyu, do you know who the portrait on this wall is?"
Duan Hongyu said: "The younger generation doesn't know. ”
The Venerable Ziyun sighed and said, "Child, you are a martial arts prodigy, your martial arts are all taught by me, and you are actually my disciple, but do you know why I have always refused to let you apprentice?"
Duan Hongyu also often wondered about this matter, and shook his head to say that he didn't know.
Ziyun said, "That's because you are my apprentice's son. ”
Duan Hongyu was taken aback, and he didn't come to his senses for a long time. Master Ziyun pointed to the figure on the wall with his hand and said, "He is my disciple, his name is Duan Yipeng, and he is also your biological father. ”
Duan Hongyu only felt trembling all over, he stepped in front of the portrait in a few big steps to take a closer look at Duan Yipeng, although he couldn't believe it for a while, tears still rolled down his cheeks. It was the first time in his life that he had heard someone talk about his background, and he didn't know his biological parents before. Duan Hongyu trembled and said, "Venerable Master, I ...... Where is my father now?"
Master Ziyun took a long breath and groaned stupidly: "The young eagle is trying its wings for the first time, looking back at the sky. In October, new feathers are added, and wings are spread to break through the sky. This poem was written by your father when he was fifteen years old, when he was as young as you are. He was chivalrous, resourceful, and ambitious. Although your qualifications are also excellent, when it comes to strategy, you are still not as good as your father, who is also my greatest pride. Master Ziyun breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "He is a rare handsome man in the world, and he has wanted to do a vigorous career since he was a child. When I saw that he had achieved his art, I let him out of the mountains when he was eighteen years old. But who would have thought that this was my biggest mistake, and I still regret it. ”
Duan Hongyu said, "Venerable Master, why is this, what did he do to make you so sad?"
Ziyun said: "He originally joined the military camp and contributed to the country, which was considered to have fulfilled my wish, but who knows, he later fell into the grass and became a robber who robbed his house, which really makes me regret, and to this day, I still can't forgive him." ”
Duan Hongyu said: "Venerable Master, the matter of his falling into the grass may have something else to hide. Where is he now, you can find him and ask him a good question. If he is really a thief who harms one party, there is no pity to kill him. ”
Ziyun Shangdao: "With his cultivation and knowledge, he will never become a robber, and it is precisely because of this that I don't understand, and it is difficult to understand what he has done. I learned that after he fell into the grass, he should have gone out to clean the door. It was only because I had made a solemn vow thirty years ago that I would live in seclusion in the mountains and wilderness for the rest of my life, and never ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes again, that I never went down the mountain to find him. He relied on the martial arts I taught him, and he actually did many earth-shattering and lawless things in the Central Plains. I think he's going to come back to see me eventually, and I'll have a good time confronting him then. But I never imagined that waiting for such an outcome. Speaking of this, Master Ziyun's eyes couldn't help but moisten a little, he took a long breath, and then said, "It was a rainy night fourteen years ago. A bloodstained, ragged man came with a three-year-old child in his arms and knelt in front of me. This young man is Zhang Songshan, and the child he brought is you. ”
Duan Hongyu was taken aback: "Is it me?"
Ziyun said: "Yes, he told me that he is Duan Yipeng's subordinate, and this child is Duan Yipeng's son, named Duan Hongyu." Duan Yipeng and his wife have died in the Central Plains, and it was only through the great trust of the two of them when they were dying that they went through great hardships to find me. I hated Duan Yipeng, I didn't want to leave you, but Zhang Songshan couldn't kneel in the stone house, he knelt in the house for three days and three nights, and finally fainted on the ground. I was so impressed by his sincerity that I took you both in. Therefore, if you can join my disciples, don't thank me, let alone your father, you have to thank Zhang Songshan. Without him, you don't want to say that your current skills are gone, even a hundred lives are gone. ”
Duan Hongyu was very excited, but what he didn't expect was that his parents were dead, and he was really a little desperate.
Ziyun said: "Since Duan Yipeng is dead, I will no longer pursue what he has done." But what I have always been unable to understand is, with his martial arts, who can kill him? How did he die? I asked Zhang Songshan repeatedly, but he didn't say a word. I saw that Zhang Songshan was hesitant and spoke inconsistently, and I expected that there must be a hidden secret, so I began to teach you martial arts, and when you grow up, you will find out the cause of your parents' death, who killed them. You came with nothing but this ivory comb wrapped in the quilt. Speaking of this, Master Ziyun took out an ivory comb from his bosom and said, "This is it." ”
Duan Hongyu took the ivory comb, only to see that although it was old, it was as white as jade, except for the four small characters engraved on one side, "Hongpeng Biyi", there was nothing special. He looked at it for a long time, and carefully held it in his arms.
The Venerable Ziyun took out a sword from his sleeve, and drew his sword in his hand with a "choking" sound, only to see that the sword body was sparkling and bright, and the entire stone house had been covered with its brilliance, making people not feel the existence of candlelight at all. Ziyun said: "This sword is called 'Hemolytic Xuanbing', and it is also a famous sword in the world. There are many masters in the Central Plains, if you take it with you, it will be of great use, you can go and do what you should do. ”
When Duan Hongyu heard that the Venerable Ziyun was going down the mountain by himself, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Venerable Master, the younger generation does not want to go down the mountain, and is willing to accompany the Venerable Master for the rest of his life." If the younger generation does something wrong, the upper class will punish him, and he must not drive the younger generation down the mountain. ”
Venerable Ziyun looked up at the outside of the house and said faintly: "In the far northwest frontier, there is a high mountain that stretches for thousands of miles, and that is the Tianshan Mountain. In the deepest part of the Tianshan Mountains, there is a steep peak, called the Ageless Peak, and the Lingxiao Cave on the peak is the general altar of our Tianshan faction, and we are all the descendants of Lingyunzi of the Tianshan faction. You have also heard, my real name is Mo Jianchou, the people in the rivers and lakes call me 'one person in ancient times', and I also have a junior brother named Xuan Zhenzi. Back then, I broke with him for an unexpected thing, and it was precisely because of that unforgettable incident that I came here to live in seclusion, vowing not to set foot in the rivers and lakes again, and the Tianshan faction ceased to exist. After such a long time, I really don't know what happened to Xuan Zhenzi now. Today, Huo Longbiao has recognized me, and I can no longer live in seclusion here. That's fine, people always have to return to their roots, I'm old, it's time to go home, tomorrow I'm going to take Yunqing back to the Tianshan Immortal Peak. He paused for a moment, and then said: "Your current martial arts are also outstanding, although you are not the best in the world, but there are very few people in the world who can beat you today." There are many schools of swordsmanship in my Tianshan School, and the 'Cloud Cutting Sword Technique' you use is completely different from Duan Yipeng's swordsmanship, so you don't have to worry about being identified by others. After you avenge your father, don't forget to bring back Duan Yipeng's 'Purple Snake Tengyun Sword' and give it to me. I've explained everything to you, if you don't leave now, when?"
Duan Hongyu grew up with Ziyun Shangren, Yun Qing, and Zhang Songshan in Lihua Village since he was a child. Master Ziyun taught him martial arts, and the two were like father and son, but now they want to break up, and he can't accept it at all. Duan Hongyu knelt on the ground and begged the Venerable Ziyun to take him with him.
Venerable Ziyun sighed and pushed the door open.
Duan Hongyu knew that it was irretrievable, and knelt on the ground and couldn't cry.
