Jiang Jianqiu desperately stopped Wan Shanhe's final blow, triggering the sword intent in his body to soar to the sky, further stimulating the ferocity of the Blood Demon Knife. At the critical moment, Ling Nanzi stopped Wan Shanhe's golden knife, and used his body to withstand the blow of the blood transformation knife, and finally saved Jiang Jianqiu's life.

After Wan Shanhe slashed out the last knife, his eyes also became dim, and it seemed that the last trace of essence had disappeared with this knife. The majestic giant sat down and said as if muttering, "Sword intent...... Ling Nanzi, I can't imagine that you secretly raised such a vicious wolf......"

As soon as Ling Nanzi's right hand was loosened, Wan Shanhe's golden knife fell to the ground with a clatter. He stretched out his right hand to hold the handle of the Blood Transformation Knife, pulled the demon knife out of his shoulder with a little force, and silently read a few words in his mouth, and the Blood Transformation Knife suddenly disappeared into the void with a wail.

"He is my apprentice Jiang Jianqiu. Ling Nanzi's face was as pale as paper at the moment, and he was barely even standing, but his voice was still as firm as a rock, "He won't be like you and me, a beast wallowing in the mire." One day, he will become a dragon and soar above the nine heavens. ”

"Dragon, hehe......" Wan Shanhe's voice became lower and lower, and finally the giant's head drooped, his whole body softened, and a generation of heroes passed away.

Ling Nanzi looked at the passing Wanshan River, and two lines of tears rolled down: "Brother Wan, you go first, I will come to accompany you soon, I hope you will no longer blame me by then!"

Ling Shengxue rushed over, she first checked Jiang Jianqiu, who had fainted, his limbs had been broken, and a wound several inches long had been cut on his head by Wan Qing's sword qi before, and the meridians in his body were abnormally disordered, and he was damaged by the huge force that was stimulated before, which could be said to be very seriously injured.

Ling Shengxue briefly dealt with Jiang Jianqiu, and immediately came to Ling Nanzi's side, supported his crumbling body, and said softly, "Father-in-law, you sit down first, and I'll bandage the wound on your shoulder." ”

Ling Nanzi shook his head and said, "The wound of the Blood Demon Knife can never be healed, so don't want this left hand." ”

After speaking, he pinched a magic decision with his right hand, and an ice blade appeared in the air, slashing down like lightning! Where the blood light flew up, Ling Nanzi's entire left arm rolled to the ground, and the broken arm was as smooth as a mirror, covered with a thin layer of frost, and not a drop of blood flowed out.

Ling Nanzi snorted, his face darkened a little, and the old man smiled bitterly and said, "This arm should be given to Brother Wan, right, and I will personally make amends to him when I get to the bottom." ”

Ling Shengxue frowned slightly and said, "Father-in-law, you have to take care of your body. ”

Ling Nanzi shook his head and said, "Don't worry, what needs to be done hasn't been done yet, and my old bones won't fall apart." ”

At this time, the soldiers around the square saw that Wan Shanhe was dead, most of them dropped their weapons and fled quietly, and some of the smart ones had already run to the emperor's side to swear allegiance. Emperor Tang was under house arrest by Wan Shanhe for a long time, and now he finally raised his eyebrows and pointed at the soldiers kneeling on the ground, feeling a little like scolding Fang Xuan.

Ling Nanzi's body recovered a little after breathing for a while, he stood up and walked towards Wan Qing, who was still kneeling in place and crying bitterly. He walked up to Wan Qing, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a tired voice, "Wan Qing, go back to Huaishan with your teacher!"

Wan Qing knelt down in front of Ling Nanzi and shouted in tears: "Master!

Ling Nanzi sighed and said, "All this has nothing to do with you in the first place. ”

The old man didn't notice that a haze flashed across Wan Qing's face, who was kneeling on the ground.

Then Ling Nanzi walked in front of the Emperor of Tang State, gave a deep salute and said, "The old Huaishan sent Ling Nanzi to see the saint. ”

When the emperor saw Ling Nanzi, he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "Shangxian was so seriously injured in order to save me this time, it really hurts my heart, there are many famous doctors in the palace, let them treat Shangxian and your beloved disciple." ”

Ling Nanzi shook his head and said: "The old man is used to the countryside, I am afraid that it will damage the majesty of this palace holy land, and the matter is over here, and our master and apprentice will go back to Huaishan to cultivate." ”

When the emperor heard this, he asked for a bounty and a silver reward, but Ling Nanzi refused one by one. The emperor rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Shangxian, after that Wan Qing rebelled against the party, he just now intended to assassinate me in front of everyone, and committed such a great crime of rebellion, and he needs to be handed over to the Criminal Department for trial. ”

Ling Nanzi looked at the emperor with no expression on his face, and said lightly: "Wan Qing is a disciple of my Huaishan faction, and I have committed a mortal crime this time, and I will be severely punished after returning to the mountain." On the Holy side, no matter what kind of sin he committed, for the sake of the old man sacrificing his life this time, let him be spared!"

"This ......" The emperor listened to Ling Nanzi's words and stayed where he was on the spot.

Ling Nanzi continued: "Although the ten thousand mountains and rivers intend to rebel and the crime is unforgivable, for the sake of his many years of doing his best for the emperor, I also hope that the saint can bury him. Wan Shanhe and the old man are like brothers, if the emperor can not remember the past suspicions, the crime is not as good as the family, the old man must be grateful!"

At this moment, the emperor's smiling face looked almost like a crying face, and he stammered, "This ...... This ......" After hesitating, he suddenly saw Ling Nanzi's eyes looking at him like electricity, and the emperor suddenly felt that his whole body was tight, and an invisible pressure firmly imprisoned him, and his whole body was like falling into an ice cave!

The emperor was startled and hurriedly nodded frequently: "I was confused for a while when I wanted to come to Wan Shuai, and now that he is dead, the family will be expelled from Chengjing and return to his hometown." This is the end of this matter, and we will not pursue it in the future!"

Ling Nanzi nodded, his expression calmed down, and said, "The emperor is wise, then the old man will return to Huaishan." ”

Chen Feng, who was suddenly standing on the side, took two steps forward, knelt down in front of Ling Nanzi with a puff, and said in a trembling voice: "Master, the disciple has been determined to serve the country after learning skills since he was a child, and now Chengjing is in turmoil, it is the time to employ people, and he has been loved by the emperor, I want to stay in Chengjing to serve the emperor." I just hate that I can't stay by the master's side to repay the kindness of nurturing, and the disciple feels guilty in my heart, and I hope that the master will agree!"

Ling Nanzi's body was stunned in place, and after a while, the old man let out a long sigh, nodded to Chen Feng, and muttered to himself, "That's it...... Everyone has their own ambitions, and everyone has their own ambitions!"

Ling Nanzi saluted the emperor, turned around and walked towards Ling Shengxue and the others, at this moment his face was full of exhaustion, his eyes were gloomy, as if the whole person had aged for more than ten years overnight.

Ling Shengxue half-knelt on the ground, holding Jiang Jianqiu firmly in her arms, looking at her father-in-law walking towards her, her face still had an indifferent expression, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.

Wan Qing was still sobbing silently standing next to his father's body at the moment, occasionally whispering something to himself, not knowing whether he was saying his final goodbye to his father or blaming himself for his powerlessness.

Wan Shanhe died, and the Chengjing turmoil finally subsided. Ling Nanzi broke an arm, Jiang Jianqiu was seriously injured and unconscious, and Wan Qing's left hand was also seriously injured by the Youshui Dagger.

The wounds on the body will always be healed after years, but the wounds in the heart can only be hidden by oneself to the deepest part, licking and licking alone in the dead of night.

The wounds in my heart deepened with the years, and the guilt, resentment, and grief that kept pouring in like a tidal wave were entangled like lingering nightmares every time I dreamed back at midnight, making people sink deeper and deeper, and finally to the final madness.

Looking at the fading light in the sky, Emperor Tang clenched his fists, his fingertips were a little blue due to the pressure of the force, and between the friction of his teeth, a few syllables spit out from his mouth: "Ling...... Nan...... Son!"

When Jiang Jianqiu woke up, it was already ten days later. He opened his eyes blankly, looked around, and found himself lying in Huaishan's room, and Ling Shengxue was sitting quietly on the side looking at him.

"Senior brother, you've finally woken up. Ling Shengxue's expression was as usual, but there was obviously a hint of joy in her voice.

Jiang Jianqiu looked around and recalled a series of things that had happened in the Tang Kingdom Palace before, Wan Shanhe ...... Knife ...... Blood God Blade......

Jiang Jianqiu was startled and wanted to turn over and sit up, but a sharp pain came from his hand, and he fell back to the bed.

Ling Shengxue frowned and said, "You have been in a coma for ten whole days, although you are no longer in danger, but your limbs are all broken, and your head is also seriously injured, at least you have to stay in bed for more than a month, don't act rashly." ”

Jiang Jianqiu grinned, gasped and said, "Have you been ten days...... Master, what happened to him, I remember that in the end, it was Master who blocked the Golden Knife and the Blood Demon Knife for me, and he seemed to be injured a lot. ”

Ling Shengxue looked at Jiang Jianqiu, was silent for a while, and whispered, "Wan Shanhe is dead, Master's left arm is gone......"

Jiang Jianqiu was stunned for a moment, didn't come back to his senses for a while, and muttered: "How come, Master, he is so powerful, it is impossible for him to ......"

Ling Shengxue sat there quietly, the sunlight shining in through the window lattice, there seemed to be fluorescent flashes in the corners of her eyes, and her voice was not as cold as before: "At that time, it was all to save me, causing you and Master to be so seriously injured." ”

Jiang Jianqiu looked at the roof in a daze, unable to accept the reality of the master's broken arm for a while, and after a long time, he seemed to suddenly come back to his senses and asked: "The last knife of the ten thousand mountains and rivers is not cut at the emperor, but at you, why is this?"

Ling Shengxue's hand clenched, and after a moment of silence, she shook her head and did not speak.

Jiang Jianqiu sighed and said, "Now that Wanshanhe is also dead, I'm afraid that no one knows why...... By the way, Wan Shanhe is dead, how is Senior Brother doing now?"

Ling Shengxue said softly: "Master took Senior Brother Wan back to Huai Mountain, and punished him for three years to face the wall in the Dripping Water Cliff Cave in the back mountain. The master pleaded with the emperor, and the family of the Wan family was saved, but Senior Brother Wan's mother passed away a few years ago, and now his father is also dead, and he has no brothers, so he is already alone. ”

Two lines of tears slipped from the corners of Jiang Jianqiu's eyes, and he said with a crying voice: "Senior brother and I actually fought to that point, and at that time, I only had killing intent left in my heart. Although I don't know what magical powers Master used to pull us back in the end, we did fight to the end of the same fate! I have always regarded him as my own brother, how did he become like this, I don't know how to face Senior Brother Wan in the future!"

Ling Shengxue quietly looked at Jiang Jianqiu, who was crying bitterly, and said softly: "Whether you or Senior Brother, you need to calm down for a while now, Senior Brother has been in retreat and thinking about it during this period, Master will not allow anyone to disturb him. I hope that when we meet again in the future, you will be able to untie the knots between you. ”

Jiang Jianqiu nodded, it seemed that the injuries in his body had not healed, his spirit was still very weak, and he fell asleep with tears after a while. Ling Shengxue gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Jiang Jianqiu's eyes with a handkerchief, looked at his sleeping face, thinking back to the events of the day before yesterday, she didn't know what happened in Chengjing, who was the culprit?

The two dream-like words of "Chaoge ......" spit out from Ling Shengxue's mouth, like the fleeting dream of a sleeping person.

In the back mountain of Huai Mountain, at the bottom of the dripping water cliff, Wan Qing, who was dressed in a green shirt with a straight face, sat cross-legged, a drop of water fell from the top of the cliff, crossed a colorful tail line in the air, and dripped on the ashlar at the entrance of the cave.

The inaudible sound of dripping water sounded in his ears, Wan Qing's body shook suddenly, and a hideous look of extreme pain appeared on his face, and he moaned in a hoarse voice: "Father......"

Dreams, some people indulge in it and don't want to wake up, some people are entangled in pain and can't get rid of it, whether a person's life is a dream or a nightmare, maybe only after waking up from the dream can we know.

Wan Qing's nightmare that he couldn't wake up from had just begun...... (To be continued.) )
