Chapter Seventy-Seven: Meditation and Lifting the Sword (I)
The twilight of the sunset, the devastated earth, mountains and rivers, in the vast twilight, seems a little lonely and lonely. The original tall and magnificent mountain gate of the academy www.biquge.info the hard granite on the top of the pen "Fun" Pavilion has also been covered with fine knife marks, which looks a little dilapidated.
The ground was full of broken stone slabs, the stumps of ancient trees, and the cool breeze of twilight blew through, rolling up the dust and sand and stones all over the ground.
There is an indescribable desolation and silence.
Xu Qingyun sat on the stone steps in front of the mountain gate, the vast twilight fell on his small figure, a little thin and lonely, as if he had returned to the Shushan Sword Pavilion again, seeking the Tao alone without anyone's company.
"Although I didn't kill you, there is a big reason, but you died because of me!" He lowered his eyes silently, not daring to look at the head hanging in front of the mountain gate, but his eyes were full of confusion, looking at the broken stone slab on the ground with some lost souls.
Du Yong was not killed by him, but if it is really carefully calculated, it is undeniable that Xu Qingyun is like the fuse of the whole incident, if you pay attention, he is like a butterfly that shakes its wings, and the culprit who caused the shock of Chu State Academy.
"Only talk about the metaphysical Tao, ask the cause and effect of the world. ”
Xu Qingyun raised his head a little distractedly, he opened his eyes a little sour, looking at the head hanging above his head, his heart was a little uncomfortable, he suddenly remembered what the sword master had said to him back then. Buddhists like to talk about cause and effect, which is the 'cause' planted by Du Wei and himself that day, but today it is all Du Wei to bear this 'effect'.
This may be the case in the world, karma, the cycle of good and evil, no one can tell the real right and wrong!
Life and death, cause and effect reincarnation.
Xu Qingyun clasped his cheeks with both hands, and he opened his eyes a little dazedly, looking at the sunset in the distance.
He only feels that life is like the sun in the sky, and some people are just the rising sun, but Du Yan's life has sunk westward.
"Do you feel sad?" In the vast twilight, a petite figure suddenly walked over. Her long hair hung down to her waist, her eyes were also a little red and swollen, when she looked at Xu Qingyun, tears couldn't stop flowing in her eyes, and she said in a trembling voice: "Although the teacher was not killed by you, but her death is also related to you, do you feel very uncomfortable?"
Xu Qingyun raised his head, he looked at the girl in front of him, although he was a little surprised, he still nodded silently, and said, "That's right, your teacher's death is also related to me!"
Qiu Zihan couldn't hold back his crying anymore.
The girl sat on the ground with her hands on her knees, buried her cheeks deep underneath, and the choked sound of low sobbing seemed to always suppress her inner emotions, but it seemed so heartbreaking.
"I thought she was gone. ”
"Woo, I thought she had gone to the Qin Kingdom!"
"Uh......h Woo, the teacher is so powerful, I didn't expect her to die like this!"
"Woo...... Woo, I thought she went to Qin, I thought I would see her in the future, I thought she wouldn't die!"
"I thought she wouldn't die!"
......
Xu Qingyun took a deep breath, he was a little afraid to face the girl in front of him at this time, but he still couldn't help pursing his thin lips, and said in a hoarse voice: "Maybe it's my fault!"
"It's not your fault. Qiu Zihan wiped away her tears, she opened her red and swollen eyes, held back her tears, shook her head and said: "Because the right and wrong of this matter is no longer so important, I just know that it was the people of the Yin and Yang family who killed my teacher, and they were the ones who killed my teacher." ”
Xu Qingyun was a little stunned, he looked at the girl crying pear blossom with rain in front of him, a little unexpected, and asked, "What do you think?"
Qiu Zihan sat there a little dejected, she could see the teacher's head hanging in front of the mountain gate, but she didn't have the slightest way, she felt a little sad in her heart, and said gloomily: "When the academy alarm bell rang in the morning, I didn't know why, I just felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, more uncomfortable than when you and Nangong Wan'er joined forces to bully me, and there was a feeling of unease, I was a little curious and a little relieved, so I secretly hid in the team of gentlemen, and came to the mountain gate together." ”
When she said this, her black eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and her voice was a little choked: "I saw the teacher's head here, and let them hang in front of the mountain gate like this, and I already knew my duty in this life at that time." ”
"I want to avenge my teacher!"
The girl raised her head, although there were tears in her eyes, but she was burning, biting the corners of her thin lips, and said firmly: "Even if I can't destroy the Yin and Yang family, I will kill all the people who killed my teacher!"
Xu Qingyun was a little stunned, he looked at the girl in front of him in disbelief, and even his breathing was a little suppressed and out of breath.
"Xu Qingyun!" Qiu Zihan suddenly turned around, she looked at the young man in front of her, her eyes were a little deep, and she seemed to bear a lot of courage, and asked, "Xu Qingyun, will you help me?"
"I want you to help me destroy the Yin and Yang family!"
Xu Qingyun only felt that there was a fire burning in his heart, and his long-suppressed heart seemed to ignite at this moment. But just as he was about to say something, a rough voice of scolding suddenly sounded in the desolate and silent twilight.
"Hey, it's really damn unlucky, the brothers all went to the county seat to drink flower wine, and his sister left us to come and collect the corpse!"
"Don't fucking nonsense, hurry up and clean up, we can probably catch up with them before it's dark. ”
On the winding and lonely mountain road of Luocang Mountain, there are two burly figures gradually walking in the twilight, they are dressed in simple strong clothes and leather armor, holding the short knife equipped by the Hongwu Guard, stepping on the bluestone road in the cool breeze and twilight, like a dragonfly directly sweeping over the stone steps.
The speed is extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye it is already up the mountain.
Qiu Zihan's face was a little nervous, she held the peachwood sword in her hand tightly, and stared at the two people in front of her.
I saw that they didn't hesitate at all, and came directly to the gate of the academy mountain with a purpose, their eyes swept over Xu Qingyun and the two who were sitting on the steps, and they just grinned arrogantly, all of them were children dating, and they didn't pay attention to it, so they walked straight up the steps.
Under the mountain gate, above the steps, is the head of Du Yi.
The two of them stepped on the ground, and their figures suddenly bounced up ten feet, one drew his knife to cut the rope, and the other reached out to take the head.
The movements are skillful and natural, such as flowing water, until the knife falls to the ground, and the head is carried in less than three seconds. But it made Qiu Zihan's face pale as paper, trembling all over his body and wanting to cry, and the fingers holding the mahogany sword were already bloody.
Holding back the tears in her eyes, she muttered to herself, "You can't do this, you can't do this, you can't ......"
The two Hong Wuwei naturally ignored it, took care of it and cleaned it up, wrapped their heads in gray cloth, and were about to go down the mountain and leave.
But at this moment, Xu Qingyun's voice suddenly sounded, very loud, and said, "Put down the head!"
