Verse 16: Covenant and Atonement
Yue Xiao looked at the purple-robed bone-harvesting man in the pool, and remembered the bad old man who held a fishing rod by the Green Worm Lake, drank wine and sang "Sigh by the Green Worm Lake". Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Outstanding martial arts but lonely and desolate, alone in the deep mountains and old forests.
Yue Xiao didn't know what it meant to be hidden in the forest, and he didn't know what it meant to be the first in the world.
And the two of them seem to understand, they seem to be those kind of people.
If they go out of the deep mountains and old forests, how many people in the world can be their opponents?
But they are always silent, is it lonely? Or is there something else hidden?
Yue Xiao wanted to know, but no one could tell him what all this was for.
The purple-robed bone-harvester's movements became slower and slower, and finally it was so slow that he couldn't make any splashes after he came out of his palm.
The purple-robed bone-harvesting man retracted his palm, and then jumped up in the blood-red medicine pool.
The purple-robed bone-collector who was soaked all over his body walked to Yue Xiao's side.
His eyes stared at Yue Xiao, as if he wanted to see something in Yue Xiao's eyes, Yue Xiao couldn't help but want to avoid the eyes of the purple-robed bone-collector, but he automatically looked towards the purple-robed man's eyes uncontrollably.
I thought that this purple-robed and black-clothed man was not a person from the Demon Sect, but now, this must be a person from the Demon Sect, and only a person from the Demon Sect can make such a pure soul dementoring Dafa to confuse the minds of others, so as to achieve their own goals.
If it were ordinary, Yue Xiao might not have been able to fall into this soul dementoring Dafa, but now it is different, he is weak and powerless, when he was injured before, he was caught off guard by one of his soul dementoring Dafa, and now his head is still a little painful at the moment, in this case, how can Yue Xiao resist the soul dementoring Dafa of the purple-robed bone collector?
"What's your name?" a hoarse and vicissitudes of life voice echoed in Yue Xiao's mind.
"Yue Xiao. Yue Xiao replied uncontrollably.
"Who taught you to swim the dragon step?" The purple-robed bone collector had only seen Yue Xiao's side, and he knew that Yue Xiao was making a dragon walk, which was really well-informed.
"Bad old man by the Green Worm Lake. Yue Xiao still replied with a blank face.
The purple-robed bone-harvester nodded, as if he was very satisfied with Yue Xiao's answer.
"Did the bad old man tell you to challenge the masters of the martial arts?"
"Yes!" Yue Xiao didn't hesitate at all, and his simple and powerful answer made the purple-robed bone-harvester smile even more.
The purple-robed bone-harvester retracted his gaze, and Yue Xiao suddenly woke up, looking at the purple-robed bone-collecting man, glaring angrily.
"What did you do to me just now?" Yue Xiao knew that he must have been hit by the Soul Dementor Dafa just now, but he was weak and powerless, but he couldn't get rid of it.
The purple-robed bone collector did not answer Yue Xiao, but pointed at Yue Xiao's chest, and then quickly tapped at Yue Xiao's neck.
"Hmm......" Yue Xiao couldn't even speak, he was dumb acupoint, Yue Xiao really wanted to know what the purple-robed bone collector wanted to do at the moment, but he was pointed at the acupoint again, his whole body froze, and he couldn't move.
The purple-robed bone-harvester sat cross-legged behind Yue Xiao.
The purple-robed bone-harvesting man who slapped his palms on Yue Xiao's back was silent, smiling, as if he had been relieved.
Yue Xiao didn't know why the purple-robed bone collector wanted his acupoint?
But then the strong internal force that invaded from behind continued to pour into his body, and Yue Xiao knew what the purple-robed bone collector was doing.
"Senior, stop, stop!" Yue Xiao kept roaring in his heart.
But no matter how Yue Xiao roared, his body couldn't move, his mouth couldn't speak, even if he roared ten thousand times in his heart, the people behind him didn't know.
"Why, why did the seniors pass on to me the internal strength that you had worked so hard to cultivate?" Yue Xiao didn't understand, but he didn't want to get what others had exchanged for their lives for no reason.
Of course, Yue Xiao knew what it meant to impart skills.
Thinking of the unkempt purple-robed man, he defeated himself with one palm, who doesn't want to have such a powerful martial art?
But Yue Xiao still didn't want to eat it, not to mention that it was exchanged for someone else's life, of course Yue Xiao didn't want it.
But at this moment, I had to be forced to accept it.
About a pillar of incense time, the purple-robed bone collector finished his work.
A stick of incense is not long, but for Yue Xiao, it is equivalent to experiencing a lifetime.
How long is a life? It is certainly not born to die, but at least a child.
Yue Xiao couldn't say it, but he was helpless.
After a stick of incense, before the purple-robed bone collector unlocked the acupoint on Yue Xiao's body, Yue Xiao unconsciously broke through the dumb acupoint, and then the other acupoint naturally broke itself.
Yue Xiao, who struggled to stand up, didn't care about his completely sorely numb legs at all, and looked at the purple-robed bone-harvester with an angry face.
"Why is this?" Yue Xiao didn't understand why he was given merit, it was something you got in exchange for your own life, why did you give it to me?
Looking at Yue Xiao's anger and confused eyes, the purple-robed bone-harvester smiled slightly.
He said slowly in his hoarse and vicissitudes of life.
"Thirty years ago, I armed a sword, killed a few people, and caused chaos in the rivers and lakes, which is wrong!"
Yue Xiao was silent, and there was still a lot of confusion in his heart.
"Thirty years ago, I was mistakenly hit by the clutches of the blood demon, and my whole body was almost lost. ā
Yue Xiao was still speechless, but he confirmed the identity of the purple-robed person in front of him in his heart, but he didn't dare to admit it.
"Thirty years ago, I was with ...... I made a pact with an old friend that if one day I could meet their heirs, I would give him all my life's work, and they would have to keep a secret for me. ā
Yue Xiao looked at the little insects in the blood-red medicine pool, and didn't know where to start.
"For thirty years, I hardly dared to take a step in this Demon Valley, I could only do some trivial things, such as digging mountains, rummaging through the entire Demon Valley, and finding 1,372 skulls, that was my sin, I paved the way for them, I hope they go all the way, and I hope they can see what I am now. ā
Yue Xiao finally understood the regret in the hearts of the bone-collecting people, it was true regret.
But what is most lacking in the world is regret medicine.
"It's been thirty years, and I've finally waited for the two of you, but this little guy has a bad brain, as for you, your qualifications are acceptable, but you're not a genius. ā
When Yue Xiao heard this, Yue Xiao understood that his qualifications were worthless to the bad old man by the Green Worm Lake, just like the big road goods that could be seen everywhere on the roadside stalls.
But after experiencing the baptism of the rivers and lakes, Yue Xiao knew that his qualifications were okay, but compared with some Tianzhong wizards, it was still a little far behind.
Despite this, Yue Xiao still grew up under the stick of a bad old man, and defeated hundreds of masters in the rivers and lakes in a row.
"Okay, now I'm also free, I have fulfilled the agreement I made thirty years ago, and I have lived for thirty years, and I am worthy of the name of the Sword God. ā
"Senior, let me ask you, what did you agree with the two seniors back then?" Yue Xiao looked at the wrinkled face and finally relaxed.
"Can't you see me like this?" said the sword god laughed.
"Could it be the ...... of the Demon Sect" Yue Xiao didn't dare to ask, as if he didn't want the Sword God to recall the past.
"Thirty years ago, I fell into the blood clutches of the Demon Sect Master, and my skills were not one in ten, and my life was in danger, and finally my well-informed friend told me that except for the Blood Demon Dafa, I couldn't dissolve the blood demon clutch power on my body. ā
"Then the senior cultivated the Blood Demon Dafa?" Yue Xiao looked at the Sword God in disbelief.
"That's not it, I've been hesitating for a long time, but there has always been one thing in my heart that hasn't been completed, so I made up my mind to cultivate the Blood Demon Dafa. The sword god seemed a little sad when he talked about this past, but he still said it.
"I made a pact with my two friends that I would practice the Blood Demon Dafa, and they would have to keep it a secret for me, and in return, if I met their disciples after fulfilling my wish, I would pass on all my internal strength to their descendants, that is, the two of you. The sword god's eyes inadvertently swept over the little insect, looking at the little insect whose face was gradually ruddy, and the worry in his heart gradually relaxed.
"I'm also eighty years old, and I'm getting older, so my body can't do it. The sword god raised his hand and looked at the gradually wrinkled skin.
Yue Xiao saw that his body was shrinking, and the sword god, who was originally quite strong, was emaciated in just a few conversations.
This is the passage of time, and the sword god who has no skill is not as good as an old farmer.
Yue Xiao could only watch the Sword God cross the passage of time and come to the last stage of his life.
"Seniors, if you still have any unfulfilled wishes, you might as well tell the juniors that the juniors will definitely go to the soup and fire, and it is incumbent on you. Yue Xiao looked at the sword god who was only skinny and bone-covered and said.
"Yes, yes, but you may not be able to do it. The sword god looked at Yue Xiao expectantly, but after thinking about it, it was better to forget it.
"Senior, if you don't say it, how do you know that I can't do it?" Yue Xiao retorted.
"If I told you to kill Chongsan, would you go?" the sword god asked loudly.
"No!" Yue Xiao blurted out directly without thinking about it at all.
"Could it be...... Do you really want me to kill my eldest brother?" Yue Xiao hesitated, looked at the Sword God, and asked.
"I know you can't do it, so forget it. After the sword god finished speaking, he coughed continuously.
Yue Xiao wanted to ask why, but when he saw that the Sword God was coughing there, he couldn't stop coughing.
"Senior, I promise you, if the eldest brother is really a demon, I will do the right thing for heaven with my own hands. Yue Xiao said in a low voice.
It's just that the coughing sound was too intense, and the sword god didn't hear what Yue Xiao said.
"Senior, take a rest, you will definitely get better. Yue Xiao saw that the Sword God was coughing up blood there, and he couldn't bear it, so he reached out to support the Sword God.
"Forget it, Yue Xiao, remember what I said, those who are rivers and lakes, you must not make and kill evil, even if it is a person in the Demon Sect. The sword god waved away Yue Xiao's hand and limped towards the back of the woods.
Yue Xiao glanced at the little insect in the blood-red medicine pool, he didn't know what the little insect had gained under the guidance of the Sword God senior, but he had inherited the skill of the Sword God Senior, this is En, Great Grace!
But now Yue Xiao could only watch the Sword God seniors move forward slowly.
Yue Xiao crossed the medicine pool and walked slowly behind the Sword God.
Even if it was the last period of time, Yue Xiao hoped to accompany the Sword God seniors.
......
Under the silver-white moonlight, on a path covered with white bones, an old man with a candle in the wind slowly walked towards the top of the mountain in the breeze.
Yue Xiao stood at the end of the bone path, looking at the sword god who had been tossed by the heart demon for thirty years, and walked forward step by step.
The old man, who walked slowly, fell down and got up......
Keep falling, keep getting up......
Yue Xiao looked at the figure, fell, reluctantly got up, walked a few steps, and then continued to fall.
The old man who had been so repeated finally reached the top of the mountain, and the old man who had reached the top of the mountain fell again, only this time, but he never got up again.
Yue Xiao knew that this was the choice of the Sword God, and he atoned for his sins in front of the 1,372 martial arts people who died because of him.
And he, even if he dies, he will die on the top of the mountain, just because that is the last trace of dignity as the first sword god in the martial arts of the rivers and lakes.
