A red figure passed through the dense pine forest, crossed the pass of the pavilion mountain, and followed a winding path all the way down.
The green trees in the mountains brushed past him.
The pine trees were like giant umbrellas that held up the sky. The overlapping branches only leaked the speckles of the sun's shadow, scattering on the man's red clothes that were blown by the wind.
The man in red walked through the forest. A flock of unknown birds flickered and chirped from afar. The mountain wind blew, and the tree branches creaked and creaked…Everything was so quiet and peaceful, revealing a kind of otherworldly peace without the smell of fireworks.
The red-robed man stopped. What made him stop was not the peaceful scenery of this paradise, but the twelve tiny flying swords floating in the air.
"Huang Longshi pays his respects to the red-robed Yama, three cups of wine.”
A fleeting sound echoed leisurely on the small road. Among the twelve flying swords floating in the air, three small swords suddenly moved and shot sharply and cunningly at the red-robed man wearing the Yama mask.
She was dressed in red and danced without wind. In an instant, the four flying swords were trampled under his feet, and they were like four bullied children. Although they were pressed to the ground and could not move, they still refused to accept it and clamored endlessly.
"Isn't it three cups of wine? Why did other than Sour Plum, Evening Dew, Pear Blossom, even Autumn Water come to join in the fun?”The man in red said to an old pine tree that was less than ten feet away.
"Hahaha, Yama, don't blame me. Although I've drunk three cups of wine, good things come in pairs.”
A 30-year-old man with a long beard and a white shirt floated down from the crown of the old pine tree.
"Huang Longshi, your shamelessness is very similar to a good friend of mine. Let me ask you something.”
The man in red lifted his leg and released the four flying swords. The four little fellows called Suan Mei, Wan Lu, Li Hua, and Qiu Shui didn't continue to fight. Instead, they flew back to Huang Longshi's side. Like aggrieved children seeing their father, they circled around and sobbed.
"Yama, can you ask?" Huang Longshi waved his sleeves and kept the four flying swords.
"Weren't you anxious when you were in the treetop just now?”
The man in red pointed at the old pine tree where Huang Longshi had been hiding. The pine needles were like thorns.
"Uh, does your teacher know that you're so mischievous?”Huang Longshi was someone who would not suffer any losses. After being dodged by the Red Clothed Yama, he immediately returned the favor with a mischievous reply.
"One year ago today, the King of Hell left me three questions on Mount Kuang. At the end of the year, I'm here today to give you three answers.”
A year ago, Huang Longshi and the red-robed Yama had met by chance at Five Elders Peak on Mount Kuang. They didn't like each other, so they had a fight. The result was a draw.
The red-robed Yama teased Huang Longshi. Since he claimed to be omniscient, did he dare to answer his three questions? Huang Longshi immediately nodded in agreement.
The three questions that Red Yama left behind were: "Who am I? Where am I? Who am I?" He also gave Huang Longshi a year to think about these three questions.
"For Mister Huang to be able to appear here today, he must have found the mystery of the first two questions. I just don't know if you can answer the third question.”
The Red Robed Yama waved his sleeve and pulled the two flying swords that were about to sneak attack him far away. Then, he flashed the six-inch short knife hidden in his sleeve at Huang Longshi, meaning,'If you continue to sneak attack me like this, I'll stab you with my knife.''
"A child is fond of hunting and wants to get close to the Yama. Shopkeeper Wen, why do you have to take it so seriously?”
Huang Longshi's words exposed the identity of the man in red. The man in red did not deny it and casually took off the Yama mask on his face. It was really the Wen family restaurant in Yi County, the best friend who grew up with Xu Xiao, the gentle shopkeeper Wen who he called the warm melon.
As the saying goes, the monk can run away, but the temple can't run away. Since Huang Longshi knew that the Red Yama was gentle, he naturally knew where he was. It was the Wen family restaurant in Yi County, Jinzhou.
"Five hundred years ago, Patriarch Lu had seven disciples, known as the 'Seven Sons of Dong Xuan' in the world. The seven sons were nameless and were known by the people for their martial arts. The first six were Zhao Jinwu, Qian Chishui, Clapping Smile, Jun Bujian, and Bai Hechou. As for the seventh son…"
"Aren't they the top six? Why are there only five?" Wen Nuan interrupted Huang Longshi and asked.
"The fifth son, other than Ancestor Lu, who said that his name was Avacaniya and that he was a man, no one in the world knew about his appearance, cultivation techniques, and weapons.”
Huang Longshi was also very curious about this fifth disciple of Patriarch Lu. However, even after using thousands of methods and thousands of methods, he could not find any trace of this unspeakable person.
"The seventh son is called 'No One Asks. Among the Seven Sons, he was the only one who wasn't named after martial arts. This person could use zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, medicine, divination, and miscellaneous skills to enter martial arts. However, he was only second in every martial arts.'There is no number one in literature and no number two in martial arts.' On the path of martial arts, one would not be the number one. Even if one was the number two in the world, no one would care. Thus, he claimed that he was unquestioned. It was just that the world didn't know that no one asked him to use all kinds of techniques and chemical weapons, not because he was a genius and was proficient in everything. It was because he had a self-created cultivation technique called " Four Directions Wind ", also known as " North, South, East, West Wind ". It had the intent of wind blowing in all directions and encompassing all things. In Kuang Mountain, you asked me twice who you were. One was in this life, and the second was in your previous life. In this life, you were gentle, but in your previous life, no one asked you. Seventh Junior Brother, Third Senior Brother, I really miss you.”
Huang Longshi was calm and composed, and he had a pearl of wisdom in his grasp. Whether it was the clapping laughter in his previous life or the Huang Longshi in this life, he was always calculating, not planning, and not planning.
" I didn't expect that five hundred years ago, I would be able to 'reach a higher level' in the field of calculations. I'm impressed, impressed, wonderful, wonderful.”He clapped his hands and praised with a gentle expression.
"No, no, junior brother, you flatter me.。。。。。”Huang Longshi put on a modest and polite appearance, but he was actually very happy in his heart.
"However, you are wrong. Aren't you afraid of losing your life by calling Yama your brother? Since we knew each other in our previous lives, I'll give you another year. If you get it wrong again, I'll take your twelve little fellows.”
Wen Nuan put on the Yama mask again and flew away like a red cloud. Only Huang Longshi was left standing where he was, thinking hard. He believed that Wen Nuan would not lie to him. He was not the little junior brother of his previous life, but he admitted that he knew him in his previous life. Who was this Red Yama in his previous life?
The twelve flying swords floated in front of Huang Longshi and hummed softly, as if telling Huang Longshi that they didn't want to leave him.
Liyang Capital, Yanjing City.
"What Mo family tycoon? I even treated him like a treasure and wanted to recommend him to His Highness the Crown Prince. Luckily, I talked to you first. Otherwise, I would have stupidly recommended him to the Crown Prince.”
"I scolded that guy yesterday. With his character, he can only go to the border of Jin Zhou to fool the mountain villagers and the rough men in the army.”
A silkpants young man and his sister, the princess consort of the Liyang Crown Prince, kept pouring out the bitter water in their stomachs.
"Actually, I can't blame you for being rash. That person is the only tycoon who has been kicked out of the Mo family in the past thousand years. He is known as the most absurd person since the founding of the Mo family. In the beginning, the aristocratic families of the world felt that the Mo Family said that the things he made were useless because the Mo Family's standards were too high, so Fu Tu did not like them. However, in other aristocratic families, it might be able to turn waste into treasure. In the end, everyone was wrong. The things he made were really useless. Little Brother, you usually don't pay attention to the world's affairs, but this time, I'll let you remember. From tomorrow onwards, go to Mister Yuan's place every day and ask him to teach you two hours of 'World Annals.'"
Crown Princess Liyang looked at her brother who was sitting in front of her and was still sulking. However, when he thought about how his parents had passed away early, his elder brother had died, and now he only had one blood relative left, he could only calm down and slowly persuade him. He hoped that Mr. Yuan would not treat his younger brother too harshly.
"Sis, I'm your biological brother! You actually want to hand me over to that half-lipped Ben Xi? Even if you beat me to death, I won't go.”The silkpants youth swore to die.
"From tomorrow onwards, I'll double your monthly salary.”The crown princess consort displayed the great killing move of 'money can communicate with god'.
"I'm going to Mr. Yuan's house tomorrow, do you need me to bring some gifts?”Wealth has great virtue, and silkpants follow it like a stream.
The setting sun was lonely. Xu Xiao walked out of the pavilion mountain alone barefooted.
He temporarily placed Xin Wuqian's body in a tree hole of a withered old tree to prevent the body from being exposed to the wild and letting the wild beasts in the mountains take the body away. Later, he would find someone to go to the Jin Prefecture to inform his family to collect the bones. This could also be considered as returning the karma of him giving him twenty breaths to enter the mountain first.
He had also picked up the Water Arrows that he hadn't had the time to pick up before. The pair of shoes that Xu Liang gave him was still wrapped in oilcloth and he carried them with him.
Xu Xiao knew that the person who saved him was a man in red. He was angry and had a mouthful of resentment stuck in his chest. He did not really faint. In a daze, he saw the red-robed man cut off Xin Wuqian's neck with a knife. He also saw the red-robed man feed him medicine. When the resentment in his chest dissipated, his body regained consciousness.
At that time, Xu Xiao had fantasized in his heart that the person wearing the Yama mask might be his foster father Xu Liang in disguise. He had his own reasons for doing what he did before. At the last critical moment, his godfather still came to save him.
When the red-clothed person fed Xu Xiao medicine, Xu Xiao saw the red-clothed person's hands. That was a pair of young man's hands. That red-clothed person was not Xu Liang.
Unknowingly, Xu Xiao walked along a nameless path into a pine forest. There was a small wooden house in the forest. Xu Liang had found Xu Xiao's family of three here.
Xu Xiao pushed open the door and entered. The wooden house was very simple and crude. Other than a bed that was 'simply pieced together' with tree stumps and wooden planks and an old iron pot, there were no other unnecessary items.
Xu Xiao walked to the front of the bed and moved the wooden board on the bed away. He reached under a wooden stake at the end of the bed. At the root of the wooden stake, he and Xu Liang dug a small hole. After the two of them stuck the hole with tree bark, it became a small secret compartment.
Xu Xiao concluded that Xu Liang would definitely leave him a letter or something else, telling him the cause and effect of the matter.'He' definitely had other difficulties.
The secret compartment was empty.
Xu Xiao moved all the wooden stakes out like a madman, distinguishing and searching them one by one. Perhaps 'he' had made a new secret compartment on the other wooden stakes?
In the end, he still found nothing.
He carefully looked at the ground again, wanting to see if Xu Liang had buried the letter that he had left for him in the ground, or if there was still no harvest.
Xu Xiao sat paralyzed on the ground, his eyes unfocused. Sometimes he was dazed, sometimes he frowned and thought hard, anxious and irritated.
With a flash of inspiration, Xu Xiao suddenly thought of something. He suddenly jumped up and rummaged through the wooden boards that he had casually stacked on the ground at the beginning.
As expected, he found the letter that Xu Liang had left for him on the back of the wooden board. It was a letter that had been carved on the wooden board with a small knife.
When Xu Xiao saw the words, they were like faces,
I left this letter only because I felt guilty, but there was no one to 'tell me'. I only carved it on wood to tell your soul that has not yet dispersed.
If you survive, you will want to know why I poisoned you.
Now that we meet, I will definitely kill you. You and I have been father and son for 16 years. We are not family, but more than family. I have let you down first, so I feel guilty. Therefore, if you are lucky enough to survive, I will give you a chance to live.
The day we meet will be extended to three years later. At that time, I will definitely give you a quick death.
For the past 16 years, I have never told you about my past. Today, I will tell you everything about my past and today's karma.
I was originally from Zhending Prefecture in the west of Beijing. Although my family was not noble, my ancestors also followed Taizu to expand the territory and left behind a shadow. At the age of 16, I practiced the family's "Three Thousand Embracing the Simple Secrets" and achieved great success. With the help of my ancestors, I entered the secret yamen of Liyang Palace as a third-grade martial artist.
After nine years, it was difficult to tell others. Fortunately, I finally made a name for myself and became a third-grade White Dragon Guard. Together with the other two, I was in charge of the palace. At that time, although I was only a third-grade martial master, I defeated a second-grade grandmaster as easily as taking something out of my pocket.
Unfortunately, he was arrogant and became the object of the court's internal strife.
People say,'It's good to enjoy the shade by leaning against a big tree.' My big tree is now, in the golden watchtower where people come and go in yellow and purple, laughing and laughing.'The Zhang Clan of Mount Longhu. Sixteen years ago, the two parties were like fire and water.
His Majesty has led the Zhang family of Longhu Mountain into the capital to balance the dispute between the North and the South with the method of three-legged support. Although Mount Longhu had His Majesty's support, they had just entered the capital and their foundation was still shallow. Thus, I became the 'point' of the two parties to 'break the surface' of Mount Longhu.
At that time, I was already in a desperate situation and would definitely die. It was my father who took all the blame for me. He even used the 'iron certificate' given by Taizu to kill himself on the golden palace jade pillar to save my life.
After that, I gave up my position, trusted aides, and ancestral property to the South Party in exchange for the alliance between the South Party and Mount Longhu.
After I buried my father and my mother, who died early, I left the capital alone and went to Yi County of Jinzhou. I lived in seclusion, but I was actually guarding an unborn treasure for the Zhang family of Longhu Mountain.
Back then, I didn't fail to break through to the second level. The reason why I lost all my power was that I was seriously injured by the treasure protecting spirit beast when I helped the Zhang family of Longhu Mountain obtain that treasure.
After that, every year before the Zhang family of Longhu Mountain holds their ancestral ceremony, I will give them a Peace Token carved from the 9600-word 'Zheng Yi Alliance Power 24th-grade Spell Scroll' using the 'micro-carving technique'.
I'll resign and give up my power, give up my ancestral property, give up my contributions and treasures, pay my respects every year, and endure hardships for sixteen years to prove to Mount Longhu that I, Xu Liang, am the most loyal and useful person under them. Because only by relying on them can I defeat the people who framed me back then.
Your talent in martial arts is very outstanding. The reason why I've only taught you the basic mental cultivation method of the Three Thousand Embracing Arts all these years is to strengthen your foundation so that you can accumulate and soar to the sky.
I only have revenge in my heart and have long given up on the idea of getting married. I once thought that when you get married and have children in the future, you can adopt a son into my sect and continue the lineage of my Xu family. Anyway, you can't write two Xu characters in one stroke, so you don't have to change the child's surname. It can also be considered as a little consolation to the ancestors of the Xu family.
Not long ago, I finally waited for the moment when Mount Longhu was restored. At that time, I thought that after you found out about this, you would definitely enter the capital with me. We were father and son, and we would definitely be able to cut through metal.
However, the problem lies in your mouth.
I warned you long ago that disaster comes from your mouth. Be careful with your words and actions. If one day you soar to success, this mouth without a door can bring you a lot of unexpected disasters.
Zhang Ze, the Little Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, heard everything that you said at the Wen Family's restaurant when you teased Lady Yayan, Tang Baobao.
That Baby Tang was Little Heavenly Master's close female friend. It was fine if you teased her behind her back, but if Little Heavenly Master heard it, it was definitely not a small matter.
I once knelt down in front of the little heavenly master and pleaded for you.
The Little Heavenly Master asked me to choose one of two options. One is to let bygones be bygones, but I must give up the Golden Pill that Dragon Tiger Mountain prepared for me to recover my strength and the power to restore my official position. I will guard this small county city for the rest of my life and die here.
The second option is to let Xin Wuyou, who is at the second rank of the Martial Path, kill you. I only need to poison you so that when you circulate your power, your bones will slowly soften and your body will weaken.
If you can still escape this calamity, the Little Heavenly Master will not attack you again.
"When a Rank-2 kills a Rank-4, he'll poison you with the Bone Strengthening Technique. When he kills you, he'll even use the fact that I poisoned you to destroy your mind.
The situation of certain death was nothing more than this.
The so-called saying that after this matter, I won't attack you anymore was just pretending to be magnanimous.
Xu Xiao, let me say something that hurts my heart. You and I have been father and son for 16 years.
But my father raised me for twenty-five years. You are only my adopted son, but he is my biological father.
If you were me, how would you choose?
Xu Xiao, if you're not dead, go to the Jinzhou border army. Although Little Heavenly Master said that after this matter, he won't attack you anymore.
But back then, you only teased his female confidant, and he wanted to kill you.
If you don't die, it's equivalent to losing his face. He won't forgive you.
Now, only the Jin City border army was a place that Longhu Mountain could not touch. If you go there, you won't be harmed, and your martial arts will improve by leaps and bounds while you fight the Turks.
"I need three years to stabilize my Rank-2 realm.
Three years later, when we meet again, I will personally take your life.
"Because I, Xu Liang, feel guilty towards you, Xu Xiao. If I feel guilty, I will become a demon. If I don't get rid of the demon, I will stop at Rank-2 in my life and never reach the peak of martial arts.
Without absolute martial strength, how could one have overwhelming power?
If you, Xu Xiao, had a cultivation base of the First Stage, how would the Little Heavenly Master dare to kill you?
I don't want to suffer the same fate as you, Xu Xiao. Thus, I can only kill you to get rid of my inner demon.
You previously asked me to help you think of a name, and I have already thought of it.
Xiao was a winged tiger. The Jin Province is a place of war. The mountains are black and white. The Northern Lands are desolate. I gave you the name 'Northern Liang'. I hope that your winged' Xiao Hu 'can roar in the Northern Liang.
I have told you everything that happened before and after.
Xu Beiliang, three years later, when we meet again, we will not only sever our past relationship but also decide our life and death.
Xu Liang, a native of Yi County County, wrote a letter to cut off his feelings.
Later, Santai Wuzhuang was investigated by the Liyang border army and the spy department."All the people in the village were Turkic spies." Except for Futu and Fusheng, whose whereabouts were unknown, the rest were all wiped out.
Xu Xiao joined the army, Yi County's ten squires and elders jointly vouched for him.
On the household register, Xu Liang's name was marked as having died of illness two days ago.
It was said that a third-grade official from the capital had personally visited the county government at night and asked the county magistrate to mark it like this.
There were also people who said that they saw a high-ranking official who looked very much like Xu Liang that night. The magistrate respectfully sent him out of the county office.
Xu Xiao stood outside the Great Snow Camp and looked at the snowflakes that filled the sky for quite a while. After he raised his hand to wipe away the snow water from the corner of his eyes, he carried his bow and saber on his back and entered the camp.
Three years later, they would both end their relationship and fight to the death!
Xu Beiliang raised his head in anticipation.
