Chapter 12 Antecedents and Consequences
The big-eyed girl saw that the old man couldn't keep Li Xuan by her side, and although she was unhappy, she still chased after her. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info She came to a pine forest behind the hotel, and saw the old man sitting alone on a lonely rock, holding a dry tobacco pot, inhaling dry tobacco deeply, the whole person was like a statue, calm and heart-wrenching. She secretly blamed herself, why didn't she come forward to leave Li Xuan! The sound of hooves came, and she turned her head to look at Li Xuan and Duan Xiaotian who had left in the dust, and couldn't help but feel sad.
The old man saw the big-eyed girl standing silently by his side, extinguished the dry smoke pot, stroked her long black hair, and said softly: "Is Ah Ying blaming grandpa for not keeping him?" The big-eyed girl Ah Ying shook her head gently, her eyes as clear as water still looked at the direction in which Li Xuan and Duan Xiaotian left, and she wanted to stop talking. The old man sighed and said, "I didn't expect to meet him here......!" I know you haven't forgotten what Hei Yunyi scared you eight years ago. ā
Ah Ying nodded, clenched her white and thin teeth, and said, "Hei Yunyi is really despicable, although he didn't hurt me along the way, but whenever I think of his vicious face, I feel disgusted." Alas...... On the contrary, the son who robbed me of the spiritual path was nicer to me, and when he saw me crying and refused to go with him, he kept coaxing me and amusing me. Grandpa, if it wasn't for the Li family's brother who sacrificed his life to save me, I think I might never see you again...... Grandpa, isn't Lingdaozi a good person?"
The old man put away the dry tobacco pot and said expressionlessly: "Hei Yunyi is indeed despicable, but Ling Daozi didn't kill you when he was dying, although he didn't live up to my affection for him, but he also contained his heart." When Ah Ying heard this, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned, put away her aggrieved expression, a trace of puzzlement flashed in her eyes, and said, "Lingdaozi left his grandfather, wasn't he forced?"
The old man shook his head, looked at Ah Ying lovingly, and sighed: "Back then, I fell for Hei Yunyi's traitor's divisive scheme, mistakenly thinking that Lingdaozi was waiting by my side to snatch the treasure map in my hand. So they wounded him and drove him out of the gang. However, in the past few years, every time I think about what happened at the beginning, I still have something to understand about it. ā
Ah Ying's expression suddenly became puzzled, and asked: "The reason why Ling Daozi betrayed my gang back then, wasn't it because Hei Yunyi pretended to be on your orders to get rid of him, and he had to kidnap me as a last resort, so that you didn't dare to act rashly?"
The old man seemed to fall into deep thought, and said: "Although Lingdaozi is not a chivalrous person, he can be considered a decent person, and he is also a confidant. You think about it! Such a skillful person shouldn't have been provoked by Hei Yunyi's words, and besides, he should know that no one can take the treasure map from my hands!" After a pause, he said lightly: "The world is so big, the four seas are bustling, and you can accommodate you everywhere, but why did Lingdaozi run thousands of miles after robbing you, and just ran to this Li Gongzi's house for refuge?"
Ah Ying was stunned again when she heard the old man ask, and muttered: "Yes, grandpa didn't say it, I didn't think this matter was strange, but why is this?" The old man smiled and said, "Why? If it weren't for seeing the Li family's son use this Streamer Snow Moon Knife Technique today, I wouldn't have guessed it! Well, if my guess is right, he and Li Gongzi's family may have been familiar with each other for a long time!" Ah Ying said strangely: "What do you mean, Lingdaozi robbed me and went to Li Gongzi's house, thinking that there was someone there who could stop Hei Yunyi's pursuit?" The old man nodded and said, "It's not just that I can block Hei Yunyi, I'm afraid that in Ling Daozi's heart, even I am not that person's opponent." Ah Ying was taken aback when she heard this, and said, "Who is the person who can defeat you? Is there such a person in the world? But who is the person on whom Lingdaozi depends?"
The old man shook his head and said, "I can't guess who this person is. But I think that person's martial arts must be extraordinary, otherwise Ling Daozi would not have been in Li Gongzi's house. Ah Ying said with a blank face: "According to Grandpa's intentions, Ling Daozi would not have been killed if he had the protection of that person......! After Hei Yunyi killed Ling Daozi, his eyes suddenly showed a fierce light, and it seemed that he was going to kill me immediately. Saying that, Ah Ying shuddered, as if she had remembered the sinister situation back then, and sighed for a long time: "Fortunately, Brother Li appeared in time and hid me, and when Uncle Bai arrived, Hei Yunyi had no choice but to stop." ā
The light and shadow of the slanting sun grew longer and longer, and the pine forest gradually darkened.
The old man took a long breath and said, "Indeed, if the prince of the Li family hadn't hidden you that day, even if Bai Hanbing and Bai You's envoy arrived in time, you would have died in the hands of Hei Yun......yi! It's a plan to kill people with a knife. ā
He paused, it seemed that there were still some things that were still inthorough, and he was silent for a moment and said: "As for who the person Ling Daozi relied on, whether it was a man or a woman, and why he didn't show up to save him, I think apart from Ling Daozi himself, maybe only God knows!"
When Ah Ying heard this, she fell into deep thought, and after a while, she suddenly looked at the old man with a firm expression, and said, "Grandpa, eight years ago, I was just a little girl, but now I have grown up." In the past few years, I have been wondering, what happened to the brave and spicy boy who once saved me? Because of my concern, I secretly went to Taiyuan to visit this Brother Li. Alas, alas, now I know him, but he doesn't know me. ā
When the old man heard this, he said slowly: "How can grandpa not know your thoughts!"
Ah Ying looked at Li Xuan's horse in the distance, and said, "Grandpa, if according to what you said, there should be a peerless master in the Li family's elder brother's family, but why is his martial arts extremely poor? Also, the sword technique he made is the 'Flowing Light Snow Moon Knife Technique' of the Nine Nine Eighty-one Moves of Ling Daozi, but why didn't Ling Daozi teach the Li family's elder brother the internal strength and mental method?"
The old man smiled slightly and said, "Girl, you have a lot of problems! Alas, the girl is older and has begun to care about the safety of others!"
He looked at Ah Ying, whose face was flushed, and said slowly: "The son of the Li family was born with spirituality, and he is indeed a rare piece of good jade. But he doesn't seem to have met a famous teacher, and his internal strength is not good because the inner family method he practiced is just the most ordinary kung fu of Yi Jin and Qi gathering in the rivers and lakes. You also know that it is okay to practice the prosaic inner family mind method to prolong life, but if you want to go through the rivers and lakes, you can't. Hey, although the Li family's son's moves are sharp, they have become flower fists and embroidered legs because of the poor internal force!"
The old man looked at Ah Ying with a curious expression, and said, "In the past, Ling Daozi once showed me this Streamer Snow Moon Knife Technique, and I also asked Ling Daozi why this Knife Technique he performed was meticulous in his moves, but it was not sharp and elegant?"
Ah Ying said: "But why?" The old man said: "It turns out that this sword technique was stolen from the Baisheng Sword Sect of Jiuhua Mountain back then. Because of stealing, there are only moves, no internal skills. Ah Ying exclaimed: "I see!, but Ling Daozi's internal strength is not weak, why didn't he pass on his inner family method to the Li family's elder brother?"
The old man smiled and said, "How do you know? Although this road knife method has been famous for a long time, only the Yum Sword Sect has an inner heart method that matches the knife technique. In other words, if there is no internal strength and mental method of the Baisheng Sword School when practicing this path of sword practice, it can only be practiced to strengthen the body. It was precisely because Ling Daozi had never practiced the internal strength of the Baisheng Sword Sect that he would die at the hands of Hei Yunyi. On the contrary, if he had practiced the inner family mind method of the Baisheng Sword Sect, how could Hei Yunyi easily kill him! Based on this, it is speculated that Ling Daozi only passed on Li Gongzi's sword method and not the inner family heart method, and he must know the benefits and disadvantages. ā
Ah Ying was silent for a moment, and seemed to understand whether she understood or not: "If you follow Grandpa's meaning, the internal force and the move can match the move to the extreme? But there is no matching move for flying flowers and picking leaves?" The old man looked at Ah Ying, laughed, and said kindly: "Good question! Do you know that although there are many martial arts practitioners, there are few achievers after all...... Generally speaking, martial arts practitioners can be divided into three types: one is to win purely by moves, and this kind of person is the secondary, and is generally a reckless man. A kind of martial arts that is only limited to one school of martial arts, and pays attention to the internal force and the matching of moves in order to bring the martial arts to the extreme, which can only be regarded as moderate. Regardless of the good and evil factions, if you make a move, you can win without a move, and you don't stick to the rules in the move, and the move comes from the heart, and you can hurt the opponent with strong internal force ten or even a hundred steps away, which can be called a top master. And the 9981 Road 'Streamer Snow Moon' sword technique, when it is used, it must be driven by the internal force of the sect in order to exert the maximum power, so it can only be regarded as a medium martial art. After groaning slightly, the old man said: "Of course, if this sword technique is used by a supreme master with strong internal strength, there will be no match or mismatch. Now that Li Gongzi has not glimpsed the mystery of the hall of martial arts, he only relies on the ordinary inner family heart method to drive the 'Streamer Snow Moon Sword Method', and he is lucky to be able to save his life!"
Ah Ying couldn't help nodding again and again, seeing that the old man was no longer speechless, and said, "Grandpa, is that sword in the Li family's brother's hand really the 'Devil May Cry' sword that has been lost in the rivers and lakes for many years? Who went to his pawnshop to pawn this sword? Could it be a conspiracy?"
The old man listened to Ah Ying's questions and asked, and he couldn't avoid Li Xuan's topic, so he couldn't help but sigh and said, "That sword is indeed the same as the legendary appearance. Alas...... Legend has it that the Devil May Cry Sword was forged by Master Mu Jiaozi, the only descendant of the Sword Casting Valley that was famous in the past years. Although this wooden horn has forged countless divine blades, it has caused a sensation in the rivers and lakes because of these three swords. Hey, these three swords were forged by him and a man called the Dragon Goose. You must know that Mu Jiaozi is known as the master of sword casting, but in fact, the family heirloom sword casting spectrum has long been lost, and only the forging method is left, so although he has hundreds of catties of black iron materials under the sea for thousands of years, because he does not know how to deploy and use it, he has long been in vain. It wasn't until this dragon lonely goose appeared that he forged the three famous swords of Divine Dance, Xianni, and Devil May Cry with him. Later, Long Guyan carried a sword to the rivers and lakes, and until he died, these three swords disappeared like three drops of water melted into the soil. ā
Ah Ying was surprised when she heard this, and muttered, "It turns out that there are so many stories behind this sword!"
The old man let out a long breath and said, "Some people say that the last time this Devil May Cry Sword appeared was more than twenty years ago. Someone had seen Shi Wanrou of the Hidden Sword Villa use this sword when she was studying swordsmanship with her brother Shi Xuangang in the dense forest outside the village, but no one has been able to confirm the authenticity of this statement. Because everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that the Tibetan Sword Villa is known as the Kingdom of the Sword, and the swordsmanship of the Shi brothers and sisters is even more unique in the world, and it is very exquisite, and ordinary people can't enter the villa at all...... "I don't know why, when the old man mentioned the names of the Tibetan Sword Villa and Shi Wanrou, his eyes suddenly became distant and ethereal, and after a long time, the old man said again: "Since the establishment of the Tibetan Sword Villa, it is difficult for outsiders to enter. ā
Ah Ying listened attentively, did not notice the change in the old man's eyes, and said softly: "It seems that the Devil May Cry Sword suddenly appeared in the rivers and lakes, it is very strange!" The old man retracted his distant eyes and said: "Why is the Devil May Cry Sword in the hands of Li Gongzi, is it a conspiracy? It's hard to ......say" At this time, the sky had all darkened. The wind is still blowing, and the momentum of the mountain rain is becoming more and more obvious. Ah Ying nodded and said, "Devil May Cry's riddle-like life experience will make Li Gongzi even more uncertain!" Seeing that the old man was no longer speechless, she asked again: "Grandpa, shall we wait here for Hei Yunyi to appear?"
The old man shook his head and said, "Waiting for the rabbit is the most stupid." Previously, Hei Yunyi shot to kill Canglong because he knew that I was nearby. He did this, firstly, to weaken our strength, and secondly, to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, so that I would retreat from the difficulty. Hmph, but he didn't expect that at this time, Scarface Xie Muqing would betray him and take refuge with his sworn enemy, Zhong Chu of the Flying Dragon Sect. Ah Ying nodded and said, "This time the scar-faced Xie Muqing's rebellion must have been a big surprise to Hei Yunyi." Grandpa, how did you make Scarface Xie Muqing change his mind that day and decide to join the Flying Dragon Sect?" The old man heard Ah Ying's question, laughed, and said, "Silly girl, we had a holiday with Xie Muqing in his early years, not to mention that he has long been dissatisfied with the Heavenly God Gang, grandpa, how can I make him have the intention of rebellion!"
When Ah Ying heard this, she also smiled and said, "Oh, how can I forget, it was Brother Yao's knife that split him into the appearance of the scarface he is now!"
The fog is getting thicker and thicker, and the distant mountains have long been hidden in it, and the Kelaixi Hotel has been stirred up by Bao Lin and closed early.
The old man slowly walked to the stake of the horse, led the horse, put away his smile after getting on the horse, and said to Ah Ying: "Life is like chess, and the world is more like seeing flowers in the fog." Although Xie Muqing had long wanted to rebel against the Heavenly God Gang, he had always been forced by Hei Yunyi's pressure and did not dare to act rashly, so he chose to defect from the Heavenly God Gang this time, there must be other unknown reasons behind it!"
Ah Ying was puzzled and looked at the old man. The old man lit a pot of dry tobacco without hesitation, looked into the distance, took a deep breath, and puffed out two puffs of smoke before saying, "Do you remember when we found the VIA Dart Game dart car in Luonan that day?"
Ah Ying said: "Of course I remember. The scene was terrible, and more than 30 good players in the dart game were all blocked by a sword. The worst thing is the old dart master Xu, such a benevolent and righteous person was cut off his head, and the corpse was in the wilderness, and he was bitten by wild dogs and eagles. ā
The old man disagreed, and wrote lightly: "This is the rivers and lakes." The weak eat the strong, the winner is king, life and death are unpredictable. Ah Ying nodded and said, "Who did that? Does it have anything to do with Xie Muqing's betrayal of the Heavenly God Gang? Grandpa, tell me what method we used to make Xie Muqing decide to betray the Heavenly God Gang." The old man smiled and said, "You are in a hurry, let's talk about this later......!" The rich dart suddenly appeared in the rivers and lakes, and there must be a mystery behind it. Ah Ying, don't you want to guess with me who robbed and killed more than 30 members of the VIA Dart Bureau, and what is the Fugui Dart?"
