Chapter Thirty-Nine: Brotherhood, Righteousness, and Feud Are Ill-fated, and Entanglement All Lives
Seventy years of love and hatred want to be recounted
After midnight, Yintao was sleeping deeply, and suddenly there was a crackling sound in the cave, and he woke up immediately, only to hear a person outside the cave laughing wildly, but it was a black-haired old man, and he said with a smile: "Old ghost, you finally fell into my calculations, haha died well, died fun, and the king of Hades will also applaud when he dies." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Yin Tao was shocked, and said in his heart, could it be that the senior was really killed by him?
In the darkness, the white-haired old man shouted to the outside of the cave: "Old ghost, the king of Hades will not accept me for the time being, he said to me, if the old ghost surnamed Xiao does not die, you will never come to see me." "Zhongqi is strong and uninjured. The black-haired old man jumped to his feet and cursed, and went back to the cave stupidly.
The white-haired old man said, "I'll wake you up, sleep, it's okay." ā
Yintao said: "He may still come to sneak attack." ā
The white-haired old man said: "If you don't succeed once, there won't be a second time, he's just a routine, and he will come to beat a few stones every day and laugh for a while, but he doesn't really think that this can kill me." ā
Yin Taoqi said: "Every night?"
The white-haired old man said: "It's been forty years, and it has never stopped, and it can be described as naked, rain or shine." ā
Yin Tao was shocked: "Then don't you have to prevent him from sneaking up every night and not rest?" was shocked in his heart, a person has been frightened every night for forty years, guarding against the enemy to plot, it is really more terrifying than letting people kill.
The white-haired old man said: "If this is the case, before he comes to kill me, I myself will die of exhaustion, and I am not a fairy, how can this be so? ā
Yintao said: "This person is really weird, why don't you stop if the sneak attack fails?"
The white-haired old man said: "He said that he is a descendant of the Demon Sect, and he needs a little bit of demonic energy to be worthy of his name, and the word Demon Sect can harm him for the rest of his life!"
Being disturbed by the black-haired old man like this, Yin Tao couldn't sleep anymore, so he said, "Senior, how could you spend forty years with that terrible strange man on the top of this high mountain?"
The white-haired old man asked rhetorically, "Didn't your master tell you about my relationship with this person at that time?"
Yin Tao knew that he meant Simon Lianhui by "Master", and said, "We were only trapped in that iron house for less than one night, so Master didn't have time to tell me anything."
The white-haired old man sighed with sadness, and then said slowly: "For more than a hundred years, there have been two opposing sects on the rivers and lakes, one is the Fengyun clan and the other is the Xiao clan, you should have heard of it, right?"
Yintao said: "I know this, the Xiao clan claims to be the ancestor of the martial arts evil sect, and the training requires each generation of descendants to take the leader of the martial arts evil demon as their own responsibility and create an eternal myth that overwhelms the righteous faction." Since the grudge with the predecessor of Jiannan, the founder of Fengyun One One hundred and fifty years ago, the two sides have never ended fighting, and many of the Xiao clan's conspiracies have been broken in the hands of the Fengyun clan, so that Wulin can be kept safe for a short time. At this time, he had a vague feeling that these two old men had a lot to do with the two families.
The white-haired old man said, "Yes, you know this very well. My surname is Fengyun, and my single name is Zhuozi. ā
Yin Tao exclaimed: "You say that you are an old senior of Fengyun Zhuo? How is this possible, people say that he fought with the Xiao clan on the top of Huashan Mountain, and he ...... forty years ago" When he thought of forty years, he understood, so he was even more shocked, and said: "That...... That strange person is the descendant of the Xiao Demon Sect?"
The white-haired old man Feng Yunzhuo said: "Yes, he is Xiao Hao." Forty years ago, in the First World War, when none of us died, when he was wounded, I brought him here and forced him to make an oath. ā
Yin Taoqi said: "Why is this? Aren't you two ......" He wanted to talk about feud, but he couldn't export it.
Feng Yunzhuo said: "If it weren't for the feud formed by the previous generation, we might be the best pair of friends in the martial arts." ā
Yin Tao said: "Can you tell me about it?" He thought that after staying in this barren mountain alone for forty years, he must have a lot of things to tell people, so he took the initiative.
In the darkness, I couldn't see Fengyun Zhuo's expression clearly, I only heard him sigh, and then seemed to enter the memories of the past, and only after a long time did he slowly say: "Seventy-two years ago, I said goodbye to my father to travel abroad, so that I can have a further understanding of the rivers and lakes, and I can better lead the wind and clouds in the future. At that time, I made a lot of martial arts friends, including Ren Chongyi, the ancestor of your Nanhai faction, and Mu Jianhua, the uncle of the Taishi. ā
Yin Taoqi said: "There are three of my uncles, Zhang Xin of the Dragon Sword, Zuo Tang of the Flying Fish Sword, and Yu Feng of the Whale Sword, and there is no such person as Mu Jianhua!"
Feng Yunzhuo said: "I think it is because your Tai Master Ancestor wants to take care of the identity and face of other junior disciples, so he does not allow his disciples to mention this person again, and it is inconvenient for me to break it." Later, when I traveled to Jiuzhaigou, Sichuan, I met a pair of men and women, the male was chic and elegant, the jade tree was in the wind, and the female was beautiful and natural. At this point, I fell back into recollection.
Yin Tao waited for a moment and didn't see any more movement from him, and then said, "Presumably that man is Xiao senior?"
Feng Yunzhuo woke up and said, "Yes, he is Xiao Hao, and that woman is your master Pinghui." ā
Yintao said: "They were still children at the time, right?"
Feng Yunzhuo smiled and said, "Presumably, you only look at the appearance of the three of us, but you don't know our actual age, right?" I am ninety-five years old this year, Xiao Hao is ninety-three years old, and Pinghui is younger than us all at that time, only eighteen years old. He sighed and continued: "The three of us had similar interests and hit it off at first sight, and soon became friends and traveled together to various parts of the Central Plains. Both of them were not bad at that time, so we went all the way to chivalrous and righteous, laughing at the sword. It was the happiest time of my life, and then we had an argument. ā
Yintao said: "Do you know that there is a feud between you?"
Feng Yunzhuo said: "At that time, it was not at that time, it was for Pinghui, I slowly fell in love with her, Pinghui wanted to go with me quietly, I disagreed, I thought I had to explain to Xiao Hao." Xiao Hao was furious and wanted to fight with me, we had a big battle on the shore of Qiandao Lake, and he finally used the 'Crazy Demon Sword Technique', and I knew that he was a descendant of the Demon Sect. I outplayed him by a sword but didn't kill him, and he yelled and walked away. I felt very sorry for him, so I broke up with Pinghui and wandered the rivers and lakes alone. ā
Yintao listened attentively, and when he saw him, he stopped and asked urgently, "What happened later, you met again?"
Fengyun Zhuo said: "A year later, I arrived at the top of Mount Tai, Xiao Hao chased me to compete with the sword, we fought for three days and nights, and finally agreed to fight again in Huashan after a year." When I left, he asked me where Pinghui was, I explained the reason, he scolded me, and finally said, 'Love is born from the heart, who can force it, if Pinghui really likes you, I will not blame you for anything, I just hope you can take good care of her', I was very moved and assured him that I would protect Pinghui for the rest of my life. Soon I found Pinghui in Taicang, who was so thin that she was no longer human. Hey, I really felt like the most confused person in the world. Pinghui forgave me and told me that Xiao Hao's journey with me was actually premeditated, but for some reason she refused to do it, she actually grew up with Xiao Hao since childhood, and her father and brother were Xiao's subordinates. ā
Yintao sighed: "So that's the case, presumably Senior Xiao is like-minded with you, appreciates your personality and martial arts, and can't bear to be your enemy again." ā
Feng Yunzhuo said: "When Huashan competed for the first time, he said this. Actually, I admired him very much, and we decided to put aside each other's backgrounds and become brothers with different surnames."
Yintao said: "It is really admirable that the two seniors can let go of their feud and marry Jinlan. ā
Feng Yunzhuo said: "At this time, our ambition is nothing else, but we are dedicated to martial arts. Our two families are martial arts families, and the accumulation of martial arts is also extraordinary, so we exchanged letters in our leisure time and agreed to study martial arts on Mount Hua in order to make progress together. Since then, we often go to Huashan, stay for more than a month, each other's martial arts have been greatly improved, but our relationship has never dared to be humane to the outside world, which is a shameful behavior for the world. ā
Yintao said: "The world has a lot of idle things, the two predecessors have nothing wrong with it, if you want to say that it is wrong, it is the ancients, the mistakes of ignorant ethics and morality, and the imposition of ancient language theory on the minds of modern people is not reasonable, and it is not understandable to do things." The two of them use force to form a righteous alliance, and they don't have to pay attention to the common opinions of the world. ā
Feng Yunzhuo smiled: "That's right, that's what we thought at the time, we became more and more intimate while studying martial arts, and we also paid more and more attention to the friendship between each other. But I was so obsessed with martial arts that ten years later, I finally violated the ancestral teachings because of the practice of swords, and my father strictly ordered me to abandon the sword and not use it again. "At this point, a long sigh is sad!
Yintao wanted to know what ancestral training was so strict, but it was inconvenient to ask him in the end.
Feng Yunzhuo said: "At this point, I have repaired a book, and I have never seen Xiao Hao again, and I have spent twenty years since I was peaceful." But twenty years later, Xiao Hao's son has grown up, taking ancestral training as his own responsibility, running around, and creating a demon sect, taking Xiao Hao as the leader. As a descendant of the Xiao family, he has practiced martial arts for many years. For a time, there was a bloody storm in the rivers and lakes, and many sects died out, and the sect he led was rivaled, and the spearhead was directed at the wind and clouds. At that time, I was no longer in charge, and I was in charge of everything in the world, leading the unity of the wind and clouds against the Demon Sect. This battle was too tragic, and I really didn't want the two sides to fight like this, so I asked Xiao Hao to fight in Huashan. When they meet again, both of them are old, but their martial arts are already opponents, and his temperament has changed greatly and he has become violent. We don't have much to say, let's get started. After a fierce battle, although his family martial arts had reached its peak, it faintly showed some shortcomings, and I defeated him. He was seriously injured at that time, and I remembered the righteousness of worship, and the feelings of mutual understanding, but I couldn't bear to do it, but I couldn't let him go, let him do evil again, so I took him to the top of this barren mountain, the side of the heavenly pool. I healed his wounds and forced him to swear that I would never step out of this mountain for the rest of my life, and when he broke his mouth and swore that he would not obey, I took a step back and promised him that I would henceforth live in this mountain, and that if he defeated me one day, he would come down the mountain, and no one would be able to restrain him. He thought about it for a long time and finally nodded his head. ā
Yintao said: "The predecessor can decide his stay by competition, presumably there must be a way to win?"
Feng Yunzhuo said: "You are very smart, and my method of victory is the only deficiency in his martial arts." But his internal strength is becoming more and more profound, and over the past 40 years, this deficiency is slowly being made up for by his profound internal strength, which is becoming more and more insignificant. I'm almost out of the game right now, and I'm trying to figure out how to end this situation as soon as possible, so it's good that you're here. ā
Yintao said: "The legend of Xiao's internal strength is from the "Demon Heart Sutra", is the internal strength learned by Xiao's predecessors also from the "Heart Sutra"?"
Feng Yunzhuo said: "Yes, I have never seen the "Demon Heart Sutra", but judging from the effect of his practice, it is more pure and subtle than the internal strength of any sect. Alas, when he swore at that time, he only asked for one condition, that is, I could not interfere with his practice, no matter what happened under any circumstances. I said in my heart that I wanted him to compete with me and not interfere with his practice, so I agreed to him. But he didn't believe me, and he insisted that I swear an oath, and I didn't suspect him at the time, so I made an oath, so that I killed many innocent women, and now I really regret it. ā
Yin Tao said: "I know that the "Demon Heart Sutra" is a different chapter, and men and women combine with each other to dissolve the yin and yang qi and fire collected in the body, but I don't know what effect people will have when they die. ā
Feng Yunzhuo said: "Yes, that's the case, but Xiao Hao is a martial arts scholar, he is not ashamed of the things of men and women, and finally came up with a cruel way, when practicing, absorb the feminine blood of young women to dissolve the yang fire, he dissolves twice in a year, and two women will die because of this." Because I swore a heavy oath first, I could only watch and could not stop it. Alas, for the sake of faith and righteousness, for the sake of righteousness with Xiao Hao, I couldn't kill him, but I had to condone him to act like this. The tone was both guilty and sad, like the loss of a loved one.
In this matter, Xiao Hao's blood-sucking practice is not right, but Feng Yunzhuo only goes against chivalry for the sake of righteousness and does not hinder it. However, everyone has their own beliefs and perseverance, and perhaps Feng Fengzhuo values faith and friendship above all else, but it is difficult to judge.
Listening to his sad tone, Yin Tao also knew that he had pain in his heart, and he didn't know how many times he blamed himself, and how much pain he had endured alone in his heart, not only was it difficult for him to blame the feeling of pity, but he comforted: "Don't blame yourself anymore, it's not your fault, I can feel the pain in your heart, if you can't forgive yourself, then take a step back and think, you have trapped Xiao's predecessors here, so how many martial arts people have been saved from disaster, and the two sides are enough to atone." ā
Feng Yunzhuo said: "Maintaining justice and tranquility is the duty of those who study martial arts, and it is not a merit, but it is very undesirable for wicked people to do evil without hindrance, alas! I don't want to argue anymore about the merits, it's good if you come, everything will be over." ā
Yintao said: "Senior, what can I do for you?"
Feng Yunzhuo said: "As long as you learn the martial arts I teach, you will know the effect in the future." ā
Yintao said: "Yes, senior." Can you tell me about Master and that wicked man, Yan Chop?"
Feng Yunzhuo said: "I would have mentioned this. Pinghui and I have been married for 30 years, and we have lived a very happy life, and we have watched our son grow up to become the successor of the Fengyun family, and he is more shrewd and capable than me. Later, he added a little grandson, which was very gratifying. It's a pity that I haven't seen them since I left home forty years ago, and I really don't know what happened to them. ā
Yintao said: "Seniors, don't worry, they are all very good, the seniors and their wives live in seclusion in a small valley, and they also adopted a granddaughter named Xiaoxin, and the three of them live very happily." Fengyun Shibo is now presiding over the Fengyun family, and everyone in the rivers and lakes respects him very much. Your great-grandson Qingyu has also begun to travel the rivers and lakes, and has eliminated a major disaster for the martial arts. ā
He didn't want to mention the confrontation between the Fengyun Clan and the Hanging Moon Sect here, for fear of distracting him. In fact, Ximen Chong had already informed him of all this, and Ximen Chong had reported on the situation of the Fengyun clan and the Xiao clan impartially.
Feng Yunzhuo said: "As long as the family is safe, everything is fine." After I left home, Pinghui also went out to look for me, but we took refuge in the barren mountains, how could she find her. It's just that everything is a coincidence, not long after we first arrived here, two Central Plains martial artists took a child to the mountains to pick ginseng and mistakenly came here, one of the two was named Fang Zhen, the other was Yan Qi, and the child was called Fang Jingshi. Xiao Hao killed Fang Zhen with one slap to vent his anger, and when he was about to kill Yan Chu and the child, I stopped him, and the child was very excited and fled. Yan Chu was seriously injured, I treated his injuries and made him swear not to tell outsiders about the two of us, but Xiao Hao suddenly wanted to take him as an apprentice, Yan Chu was afraid that he would kill him behind his back, and seeing that his martial arts were surprisingly high, he agreed if he wanted to learn, and I couldn't stop it, how do you know...... Alas!" said with a long sigh.
Yin Tao already understood and said: "Senior Xiao is going to use Yan Shu to choose a girl for him to come back to suck blood and practice. Yan Chu picked up his own life for helping others do evil, it really doesn't make sense!"
Feng Yunzhuo said: "Xiao Hao wants to compete with me every day but he can't win, and all the resentment in his heart is vented on Yan Shu, if he wants to fight, he will be scolded and scolded, and he will not be taught martial arts at all, but he will often be rectified into a human form, but I can't persuade him to do anything else about the matter between his master and apprentice, and I can't help anything else." After seven or eight years like this, Yan Shu also survived, although he couldn't learn martial arts with Xiao Hao, but there were also some tricks and a half tricks when we competed in martial arts, and martial arts must not be simple after seven or eight years. Therefore, he felt that he had achieved great martial arts, and he did not want to be at the mercy of Xiao Hao anymore, so he risked his life to steal the "Demon Heart Sutra" and fled down the mountain when the two of us were competing. This "Heart Sutra" is Xiao's secret that is not passed on, but how can it fall into the hands of outsiders, Xiao Hao was angry and spurted blood, almost died, he asked me to go out of the mountain with him to find Yan Chop, but I was also stubborn at the time, afraid that he would get away and always refused, so that the tiger outside caused today's great trouble. Alas, I really don't know if it's Xiao Hao's retribution or my Fengyunzhuo's retribution. ā
Yin Tao hurriedly said: "It's not too late to make amends, as long as the seniors come out of the mountain at this time, they can still kill Yan and kill the world." ā
Feng Yunzhuo said: "There is no need to mention this matter, I have my own ideas, and I will not let him be evil for a long time." Thinking that Yan Chop's nature is not good, and after being tortured for seven or eight years, his temperament has changed greatly, and after going down the mountain, he went around forming gangs to kill people and set fires, venting his anger in his heart. Soon, Pinghui met him, and when he was seriously injured, Yi Yizhiren did not kill him, making him vow never to enter the Central Plains again. Thirty years later, he still broke his oath and came, presumably his martial arts have been completed. ā
Yin Tao knew that although his martial arts were good, he was not successful, and he only came to seize the divine sword, but he couldn't say it.
Feng Yunzhuo said: "Pinghui learned our whereabouts from Yan Shu, and rushed to persuade me to go home, I said that I had an oath not to leave first, let her go home and live a good life with the child, she didn't listen and still didn't let go." I knew that I would inevitably lose her in this life, so I said it to the extreme, and from then on I would never be husband and wife again. She was extremely angry and sad, sad and hateful, and made a heavy oath to carry my head down the mountain, her martial arts are all taught by me, and she cannot win. Since then, I have come down the mountain and come to challenge every year, and the love between husband and wife is no longer there. ā
Yintao said: "Hate is born because of love, and the root of hatred is rooted in the soil of love, and Master's heart has never forgotten you or hated you." ā
Feng Yunzhuo sighed, and said for a long time: "In the second year, she brought Chong'er to join Xiao Hao's door, and since then, Chong'er has become a tool to provide Xiao Hao with blood and food, and it has become the only way for us to learn information about the outside world. For Pinghui's sake, Xiao Hao taught some martial arts to Chong'er, and ten years ago he taught him the 'Xiao Clan's Crazy Demon Sword Technique', which was not as strict as Yan Shu. But there is a lot of time to scold and beat him angrily, but my uncle can't help him much by his side, and it's really hard for this child. ā
Yintao only then did he understand that Ximen Chong's cruelty and viciousness all stemmed from Xiao Hao's inhuman abuse in the past 30 years, worshipping a demon as a teacher for 30 years, no matter how kind his humanity was, he had become cruel and domineering, and Ximen Chong had not become Xiao Hao's second now, so he should be happy.
Yintao said: "Senior, do you think that martial arts secrets like the Demon Heart Sutra should remain in the world?"
Feng Yunzhuo said: "This book must have been created by the predecessors of martial arts with a lot of painstaking efforts, and it is a rare martial arts book." But this method of practicing is too eccentric and evil, and it is not ashamed of the world. I am a martial artist, and it is not easy to answer this question. ā
Yin Tao lit the oil lamp with a flint, saw Feng Yunzhuo sitting at the table, and said, "Senior, I have a Heart Sutra for my seniors to dispose of." He took out the "Demon Heart Sutra" that Xiao Ke asked him to keep from his bosom.
Feng Yunzhuo was shocked and asked, "How did you have this book?"
Yintao said: "This is Ke'er's mother left to Ke'er, and later Ke'er asked me to practice with her, but I refused, and then Mr. Simon came back, so she asked me to keep the book first." In fact, she had already memorized the contents of the book, and it was useless to keep them. ā
Feng Yunzhuo said: "Well, yes, Jia Lu is Xiao Hao's granddaughter, so naturally there will be this book." Chong'er tried her best to get this book, but she didn't know that this book was already by her side. And as soon as you meet Ke'er, you get this book, but you don't practice. Alas, when you ask for it, you can't ask for it, and if you don't ask for it, you can't take it, how mysterious is it. I took the book in my hand and flipped through it slowly, the more I looked at it, the more I was surprised, I couldn't help nodding and laughing, and suddenly shook my head violently, and closed the book with a dignified face. After a long time, he said slowly: "The great wisdom of the senior martial artists is really beyond the reach of the dust, I can't imagine that the practice of internal strength can be carried out like this, this book is really mysterious." I've been a martial artist all my life, and I almost fell into it. Returning the book to Yintao said: "The existence of everything has its inevitable law, and people cannot force it, and this book also has its own reason for existence." The martial arts contained in the book are very good, it seems to be evil but it is reasonable, but the method of dissolving yang fire and yin qi is not good enough, although my generation cannot have a good way to replace it, or the people of later generations are smart and can find another wonderful way to solve it. The meaning is clear, and it is for the book to be passed on to future generations.
Yin Tao knew that the old man's mind was extremely delicate, and this decision must have been made after careful consideration, so he took the book back into his arms and prepared to return it to Xiao Ke in the future.
