Chapter 54: The Mystery of the Seven Veins
After 30 years of separation, this brother is really rare!
There is nothing in this world that can stand the test of time, if there is, then it must be blood thicker than water family affection, there is no one but the only one.
The Famous Knife Villa in the dark night is still solemn, and the eyes of the guards are like hunting wolves in the distance, and such eyes have nowhere to hide even if they are ghosts, gods, insects, and animals.
This is the Famous Knife Villa, if one day it suddenly relaxes the rivers and lakes, it will not be used to it. Everything has a meaning for its existence, and the good, the bad, the right, the wrong, should exist!
In the main hall, the brothers who have been separated for 30 years are pushing the cup and changing the lamp, not getting drunk.
Ye Zhiwei doesn't seem to be able to drink alcohol, and after drinking a few bowls, his face is red and his neck is thick, but how can he be drunk where he is happy?
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "You and my brother haven't seen each other for thirty years!"
Ye Rancher also said with a heavy heart: "That's right, it's been thirty years. ”
The middle-aged man asked suspiciously, "I've been thinking about a question, why did you appear in Sanyunzhuang, and why did you help a stranger?"
Ye Rancher also smiled and said: "Maybe this is the will of heaven, now thinking about the people you met for no reason on this eastward journey, it should have been destined a long time ago!"
The middle-aged man said: "That's right, there will always be some people in life for no reason, and in hindsight, these seem to be fate." ”
Ye Redemption smiled evilly and said: "I met the right person, and it is precisely because of his chivalrous bones and soft intestines that I will spare no effort to save you when you are injured." ”
The middle-aged man suddenly put away his smile, his mind was full of the scene of that night in Sanyunzhuang, his trusted brother betrayed him, and he was not very angry when he thought of these various middle-aged men.
He stood up and said, "My brother's right or wrong is not as simple as you think, the most terrifying thing in the world is not the peerless martial arts and cold-blooded swords, but the human heart, a heart that you once believed. ”
Ye Zhiwei also stood up, looked at the starless night sky outside the window and muttered: "Maybe my brother is right, after thirty years of cage life, my understanding of this world is not as good as that of a three-year-old child." ”
The middle-aged man walked up behind Ye Rancher and patted his younger brother on the shoulder and said, "Brother, don't be discouraged, fortunately we all survived." ”
Ye Rancher seemed to suddenly remember something, he turned around and asked, "Brother, why did the ten uncles who took us like our biological father suddenly turn their faces?"
Ye redeemed the evil question, and also awakened the old past hidden in the middle-aged man's heart, his eyes became hollow, there was a trace of murder in his eyes, and his whole body revealed anger.
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said: "They are not human beings at all, they are a group of devils who are more terrible than one another, especially the Demon Ten Elders, who is a beast-faced guy, among the Ten Elders, he has the highest martial arts, the most ruthless shots, and the most tricks. ”
Ye Rancher continued to ask, "What are they for?"
The middle-aged man took off his shirt and turned to face Ye Zhiwei and said, "Brother, you will also take off your shirt." ”
Ye Rancher also took off his shirt according to what the middle-aged man said, and under the light of the candlelight, a dark pattern appeared on the chests of both of them, and when he looked closely, it was not a pattern, but something like a map outlined by some lines.
Ye Fuwei looked at his chest, then looked at his brother's chest, and asked incredulously, "Brother, what the hell is going on?"
The middle-aged man said, "Do you remember when the Demon Ten Elders wanted to take a piece of skin from us?"
Ye Zhiwei nodded and said, "Remember, does it have anything to do with this pattern? Or is there something strange about this pattern?"
The middle-aged man said, "Yes, this is actually a treasure map. ”
Ye Rancher was even more surprised, and said in a slur manner: "What a treasure map!"
The middle-aged man said, "Yes, it's a treasure map, brother, do you remember that your father gave me a letter when he left?"
Ye Ransom said: "Remember, my father handed you this letter and told you not to open this letter in the Border Torture Demon Sect. ”
The middle-aged man said, "Yes, but I finally opened the letter without suppressing my curiosity. ”
Ye Ransom said: "The content of this letter should be closely related to us. ”
The middle-aged man nodded and said: "You are right, the letter said that the predecessor of the Border Punishment Demon Sect was the Xinyuan Clan, we are all descendants of the Xinyuan Clan, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the ancestors fell here to found the Border Punishment Demon Sect, at that time, because of the hurry A large number of gold, silver and jewelry could only be buried on the spot, the ancestors drew a total of two copies of the place where the treasure was hidden, and the two patterns on you and I combined were only half of them. ”
Ye Ransom asked, "Where is the other half?"
The middle-aged man said: "Since my father's death, Demon Ten learned the news and wanted to unite the other nine elders to take down the treasure map from us, but who knew that the remaining nine elders seemed to be a little hesitant, so he didn't stop doing anything to control the nine elders, occupy the Border Torture Demon Sect, and try to steal the treasure, but unexpectedly I escaped unexpectedly, as for the other half of the treasure map, it was difficult for me to guess at first, but since I escaped from the Border Torture Demon Sect, I walked in the rivers and lakes for a while, and I learned some clues. ”
Ye Ransom asked, "What happened after you escaped from the Border Punishment Demon Sect?"
The middle-aged man said: "I met a knife master who learned a good knife technique, I made friends from all over the world to set up a famous knife villa, and led the heroes of the rivers and lakes to provoke in the name of casting sword gods and treasures, up to the six factions of the Central Plains, down to the three sects and nine streams, and even some small sects in the Western Regions who did not know their names came to provoke, but only one sect did not come!"
Ye Ransom asked, "Which sect?"
The middle-aged man said, "Kunlun Fist Sect." ”
Ye Ransom asked, "Do you suspect that the other half of the treasure map is in the hands of the Kunlun Fist Sect." ”
The middle-aged man said: "Yes, my father often went to Kunlun to meet friends in his early years, and he should have expected that the Demon Sect would have civil strife sooner or later, so it is likely that the other half of the treasure map was handed over to the Kunlun Fist Sect for safekeeping." ”
Ye Ransom thought for a while and said, "Could it be that the Sword Sect is behind the destruction of the Fist Sect?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "It turns out that you also know these things, yes, it was my idea, I have talked to several fist sect masters many times to ask them to hide the treasure map, but they always perfunctory me again and again, I can only make this decision." ”
Ye Ransom laughed self-deprecatingly: "Then did you find it in the end?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "As far as I know, these boxing sect people have always regarded the supreme seven veins of the fist sect as the supreme treasure, but this is not a peerless martial art, presumably there must be another treasure map recorded in it." ”
Ye Rancher slowly lowered his head, he didn't seem to be happy to learn this shocking secret, but his mood became heavier and heavier.
The middle-aged man didn't notice the change in Ye Rancher's evil, and continued: "After the mystery of the Seven Veins is solved, I will let the Soul Absolute Knife go to the rivers and lakes with the Casting Sword Divine Iron to move the spearhead out of the Famous Sword Villa, and concentrate on dealing with the Kunlun Fist Sect, brother, do you say that my brother's plans are perfect?"
Ye Ransom didn't seem to hear the middle-aged man's question, and the middle-aged man was also aware of the change in Ye Ransom's expression.
The middle-aged man stepped forward and looked at Ye Rancher and said, "Brother, what's wrong with you? This is a treasure that rivals the wealth of the country, why are you not happy at all?"
Ye Zhiwei raised his head and asked, "What is the use of my brother's treasure?Do you know that when I met you, I felt that I was the happiest person in the world, but why are you the mastermind of so many conspiracies?"
The middle-aged man didn't seem to understand why his younger brother thought this, because it was difficult for a person like him to understand the psychological process of ordinary people.
Ordinary and ambitious are inherently polar things, but there may be a connection that can make them go the same way.
The middle-aged man said: "Brother, you don't know this Jianghu and you don't know how sinister the world is, if you want to not be bullied in this world, you can only be the one who controls the fate of the world!"
Ye Ransom said: "Brother, let it go, you will almost die in Sanyunzhuang, since you can't be the master, why force you?
The middle-aged man said, "But I survived. ”
Ye Rancher said with some anger: "But there are many innocent people who have died, your hands are stained with blood, even if you have the seven veins of the Fist Sect and the treasures of the rich and rival country, can you really have a clear conscience?"
The middle-aged man turned to look at the night sky and muttered, "Actually, I had the same idea as you many years ago, but do you know what has changed?"
Ye Ransom said, "No matter why you can't do anything that violates your conscience?"
The middle-aged man said, "If you knew how my father died? I don't think you would talk to me like that." ”
At the mention of his father, Ye Rancher suddenly woke up from Fang Cai's emotions, in addition to longing and reluctance, he wanted to know the meaning of his brother's words.
Ye Rancher asked, "Didn't my father die of a violent illness?"
There seemed to be a glimmer of tears in the corner of the middle-aged man's eyes, but it was fleeting, because he knew that tears were the cheapest thing in the world.
The middle-aged man said, "Come with me!"
With that, the middle-aged man walked towards the cabinet of the main hall, and Ye Rancher also followed.
The cabinet is full of fire, and there should be few people here and there will never be anyone here, because this is the famous knife villa.
The cabinet is very clean and spotless, which seems to be the reason for the frequent cleaning. In the middle is a simple table with a wooden spiritual table.
Ye Ransom's steps became heavier and heavier, and he walked to the spiritual position and looked at the big mole on the wooden tablet, and tears instantly flowed out of this miserable eye.
Looking at the wooden tablet, the middle-aged man said: "Father, I brought my younger brother here, I have been worried about him all these years, I know that you have been worried about him, now that he is alive and well and recognizes me, you can rest in peace." ”
Ye Ransom asked, "How did my father die?"
The middle-aged man sighed softly and said, "He was forced to death by the ten elders of the Demon Sect. ”
Ye Zhiwei asked, "Why did they force their father to die?"
The middle-aged man said: "In addition to the descendants of the Yuan Dynasty and the descendants of Dajin in the Xinyuan clan, the top ten elders are the descendants of Dajin, and you should be clear about it next!"
Ye Ransom said angrily: "Why do the grievances of the previous dynasty be brought to the present world?"
The middle-aged man said: "This is the only answer I can give you, if you still insist, I won't force you, you are my own brother, no one dares to hurt you here, and you don't interfere with what I do." ”
With that, the middle-aged man turned around and left the cabinet.
In the empty cabinet, only Ye Redemption Evil and a silent spirit seat remained, looking at the spirit seat, Ye Redemption Evil seemed to have a lot to say, a lot to ask, and a lot of confusion to solve, but the silent spirit position and the words of his brother Fang Cai could only bring anger to Ye Redemption, anger that he had never had.
Ye Ransom muttered to himself, "What is the human heart? Could it be that I am wrong. ”
After saying that, Ye Rancher slowly lowered his head, thinking about his brother's words over and over again, and the thirty years of dim prison time of the Demon Sect came to mind from time to time.
He clenched his fists, his eyes bloodthirsty and murderous.
Ordinary and ambitious are two extremes, and the only thing that can bind these two things together is the anger that comes with hatred.
