Fengguixu

Chapter 10

The past is dreaming.

In the dream, Shen Xu was a little limp, more than two years old, with bare feet, and logically speaking, he hadn't reached the age to remember things. Maybe it was at that time that he tried his best to widen his eyes and stared for too long, so the scene after scene The scene was clearly engraved in my mind.

The snow fell heavily that day, covering the ground in a thick layer, melting into the soil and turning into dirty ice.The flames near and far dyed the low and gloomy sky red, and the cold wind was blowing head-on, like a knife, with the smell of blood and gunpowder smoke.The bloody wind seemed to be more powerful, blowing the tongues of flames wildly, and it burned to the head of the next room in a blink of an eye.

The fire blazed into the sky.

No one fled.

The rebels massacred the city, and all those who should be killed have been killed.

The corpses were piled up into a mountain, and the viscous blood pooled into a river, which was frozen for a long time.The bodies of those dead people gradually solidified, and their faces still maintained the painful and distorted expressions when they were dying.

Jackdaws wailed, vultures circled.

He was the only one left in the world, so quiet that he could even hear the sound of snowflakes falling on the ground.

He took the cold hand of his mother beside him.

He is still too young, so small that he doesn't know life and death, and he doesn't understand why he cries so loudly but his mother ignores him.Tired of crying and cold, he retreated into his mother's arms.There was no temperature in his mother's arms, but he was reluctant to leave.

Then he stopped crying, and sat in the charred ruins after the fire raged, his eyes wide open, and he waited and waited.

In the wind and snow, in the twilight, someone came slowly.

The man was wearing a bamboo hat, a coir raincoat, and a black iron long sword slung across his waist, walking alone.The man said that his sword is called no bullying, while others call it the wind.

Shen Xu raised his calm and indifferent face, knelt down before the wind was too late, his eyes were at the same level with him, he smiled and stretched out his hand: "Come with me, I will be here for a day, and I will keep you safe all day, okay?"

The sky is getting darker, and the snow is getting thicker and thicker.

Shen Xu stared at the broad and kind hand, blinked his dark and silent eyes, and held one of the fingers lightly for a long time.

He was picked up by a tall man, brought back to Jiange, named Shen Xu, and accepted as a disciple.

From then on, he had a teacher, a relative, and an acquaintance, and he was no longer that weak child who sat alone in the ruins waiting to die.

As the sun turns and the stars move, the cold comes and the summer turns, he looks up under the tree to watch his brothers dig out the bird's nest, and sits upright while letting his sisters paint his eyebrows and paint Daisy to pretend to be a daughter, and then he laughs and squeaks into a ball.

In the grass hut, the master asked, this time you still don't want to go down the mountain with them?There are many interesting people at the foot of the mountain, and there are many amazing scenery.

He replied that disciples do not go down the mountain.

He was afraid that when he stepped down from the mountain, he would encounter fire, war, life and death, joy and sorrow, and he was afraid that he would never find his way back.

Reborn in Jiange and grown up in Jiange, he learned to be grateful and cherish without a teacher.

Since then, the Jiange has become his root, and the people in the Jiange have since become the people he wants to protect all his life.

Just like this, I was lingering on the sick bed for several days, and one morning, I suddenly heard voices from the bottom of the mountain. It seemed that many people were arguing endlessly. After a while, Yin Ni hurriedly pushed the door and entered.

"Senior sister, what's going on outside?" Shen Xu asked.

"It's okay, it's...it's Chang Xun and the others who are discussing their new sword moves again." Yin Ni stammered, as if she was covering up something.

Shen Xu frowned: "What new tricks have they learned recently?"

"Learning...what is it that attracts..." Yin Ni usually has a sloppy eye when learning swords, but at this moment, she hugged her feet and scratched her head, and she had a flash of inspiration, "Ah, yes, it's the trick Fanyingluo! The tricks of this trick are too difficult to learn, so Chang Xun and the others especially..."

"Senior Sister." Shen Xu interrupted him, "Fanyingluo is Senior Brother Chang's housekeeping skill, and he learned it the year before last."

Yin Ni: "..."

No, you can't just reveal your secrets like this, and you can save it again.

"Ah, it turned out that I was wrong because of my bad eyesight. I'm not trying to learn new tricks." Yin Ni resorted to her fierce and coquettish skills, and said in a rough voice, "As the saying goes, learn new things by reviewing the past." That's right, Chang Xun and the others are learning from the past!"

"Senior Sister." Shen Xu called her again.

"What's the matter again?" Yin Ni's scalp tingles when she heard Shen Xu calling her senior sister.

"I lied to you just now." Shen Xu said indifferently, "We really haven't learned Fanyingluo yet. Master said that whether or not we learn this trick will depend on personal chance, so don't rush it."

Yin Ni: "..."

Forget about saving it, just lie down.

Shen Xu: "Senior Sister..."

"Oh, don't call me!" Yin Ni simply gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and covered her ears with her hands, "Master said, let me watch you, don't let you get involved, it's all for your own good!"

After speaking, he opened his eyes a crack.

Sure enough, Shen Xu stopped talking, pursed his lips, sat down on the head of the bed, his pale fingers grabbed the thin indigo quilt, and pulled the quilt out of folds.After a while, he coughed a few more times as if he couldn't suppress it, and his face became paler, weaker and haggard.

Longevity, this kid is pretending to be pitiful again!

Yin Ni was going crazy, her heart was going to be broken.

"Okay, okay, I said, I said it's okay? Your wound hasn't healed yet, what are you doing sitting up, lie down quickly." She was defeated like a mountain, bit her lips, and tried to whitewash the peace when explaining, " Well, there's nothing important outside, it's just that a few ignorant people are messing around, Master can take care of it, don't worry."

"What excuse are those people looking for?" Shen Xu asked.

Yin Ni blinked: "From the beginning?"

Shen Xu: "They can't make trouble in Jiange for no reason."

Yin Ni was frowning, where would she go to make up an excuse?

Just as he was racking his brains, Shen Xu's face changed: "They must have put all the money on Jiange because they killed many people on Qingjing Cliff that day."

"How do you know?" Yin Ni was shocked, and fell into the trap following the conversation, "Someone already told you?"

Listening to her tone, Shen Xu directly verified his conjecture, immediately put on his clothes and stood up, intending to go to check.

Yin Ni hurriedly opened her arms and stopped in front of him: "Oh, you can't do anything if you go out now. Those people have been yelling at the foot of the mountain for two days, and they were stopped by the disciples guarding the mountain for two days. Naturally, they will not let them go today. Go up the mountain, and you..."

Just as he was talking, a Jiange disciple suddenly shouted outside: "Everyone sabers, sabers! There is a fight down the mountain, let's rush to support!"

Both Yin Ni and Shen Xu were shocked.

Shen Xu said: "Senior sister, bring my sword."

"Senior brother..."

Shen Xu sternly said: "This matter happened because of me, Jiange suffered disaster, how can I hide here and be a coward?"

Yin Ni was silent, she looked at Shen Xu's face, she knew that this matter was no small matter, if she insisted on not letting go, it is possible for Shen Xu to knock her out directly, her martial arts are not as good as Shen Xu, it is better to go with him than to be knocked on the head , so that you can take care of the point at any time.

So he turned around and went to the door to get the sword, and handed it to Shen Xu.

The two followed a group of disciples to Suoyuntai on the mountainside.

Suoyuntai is a huge stone extending out from the mountainside of Xuanjing Peak. The stone is pure black, as moist as paste, with a wide and flat surface, warm in winter and cool in summer. Lock Cloud".

At this time, Feng Weigui led his disciples to stand on the east side of Suoyun Terrace, with a row of black lacquered coffins at the head of the west side. Behind the coffins were surrounded by people from various sects. Wearing a white mourning suit over his clothes, he looked passionate and kept shouting.

Shen Xu heard their left sentence "Jiange colluded with the Demon Sect and surrendered", and the right sentence "Murdered martial arts comrades with evil intentions", he could hear the blood in his chest surging and his hands trembling.

Seeing that his shape was different, Yin Ni hurriedly pressed down his trembling scabbard, and whispered in her ear, "I'm disobeying my master's order by sneaking you out. If you rush out without thinking and stir up trouble, master will definitely strip you." I bought my leather sencha and drank it! Besides, those little bastards are fighting lawsuits, and the one who really took the lead hasn't said a word yet."

Shen Xu couldn't look at him, so he grabbed Yin Ni and asked, "Who is taking the lead?"

It's rare that the junior brother asks for her, so Yin Ni took the opportunity to act obediently: "Hey, you call me a good sister, come and listen to me..."

"Good sister." Shen Xu was not shy, in his heart, he always regarded Yin Ni as his own sister, so why not call him good sister?

Yin Ni's eyes turned to look at each other, she was silent for a while for some reason, and when she spoke again, she changed into a serious and serious tone: "Here, let me explain to you in detail. Among this group of people, they are the ones who are ranked in the Jianghu. There are quite a few of them, like Mr. Yang Da, the old leader of the Haisha Gang, Pei Sicheng, the chief disciple of the Kongtong School, and Tu Jian, who is famous for his unparalleled benevolence and justice, but only three of them can really be called masters. .”

Speaking of Haisha Gang, Shen Xu thought of Ge Wei and Qin Ba, and wondered if Qin Ba had come today, if he came, he could clear up the misunderstanding.

But even their old gang leader has come, so why doesn't he come?Now that you are here, why don't you come forward to clarify?

Yin Ni on the other side threw out an introduction and waited with a smile on her face.She is used to telling stories, and telling stories must interact with the audience.

Only then did Shen Xu think of cheering, and asked, "Which three people are they?"

"There are a few bald monks on the sidelines. The leader with big ears and gray robe and straw sandals is Master Shikong from the "Four Great Monks of Jikong Yuanpo" in Vientiane Temple. It seems that he is just out of affection , who was invited to speak for reasoning and witness, if there is a real fight later, he is determined not to help each other."

"The one who screamed the most fiercely was a group of Taoist priests from Qingyunguan. I heard that the third son of Chongling died in the battle of Qingjingya. The Taoist priests embraced an ancient Taoist with a thin face and eyebrows longer than his beard. It must be The master of the third son has beaten the Daoist."

Speaking of Chong Ling, Shen Xu thought of Shen Qingxuan who died tragically under Feng Yin's sword, and even thought of Shen Qingxuan's various bad deeds, and he really had no sympathy in his heart.But after thinking about it, Daoist Chong Ling is quite old, lost three beloved disciples in a row, and the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, he must be heartbroken.For a moment, I felt sorry for not being able to save a few more people from Feng Yin.

"There is the last one. That person is elegantly dressed and imposing. He is waiting at the end of the line with folded arms. He is Xiao Guan, the head of the Arms Hall of the University Student Palace. This person is not surprising, but he was ordered by the Palace Master of the University Student Palace. Come here, and the power behind it should not be underestimated." Yin Ni was familiar with these Jianghu masters, her eyes glowed and said, "You know, his palace master, Qiu Chaosheng, is the second top master among the top ten masters in the world!"

Shen Xu frowned upon hearing this, and asked, "Who is number one?"

"That's needless to say?" Yin Ni shook her head and put gold on her face, "Of course our head teacher is not as respectful as he is!"

Shen Xu: "..."

That's enough, don't ask, this pheasant list must be made by herself.

The sun was high and it was almost noon.

The Suoyun Terrace was gradually filled with righteous and indignant martial arts people who came over after hearing the news. The Jiange disciples were few and weak, and were surrounded in the corners.

Among the noisy voices, I suddenly heard an old voice accompanied by deep inner strength and slowly sent out: "Headmaster Feng, since there is no balance between good and evil, the Tianchi Demon Sect and my righteous way have a deep hatred like the sea, and we are irreconcilable. Today you really want to Willing to go your own way, shielding traitors, and colluding with the devil's sect?"
