A large hand stopped Qiao Feng from committing suicide. It was the Mara King.
" Hero Qiao, you don't have to be like this. Your beloved wife can still be saved. It's just a little more effort. It'll probably take half a day."
A few years ago, Qiao Feng was waiting for Duan Zheng Chun by the bluestone bridge. He was about to kill his enemy with his own hands. He was high-spirited and full of fighting spirit.
At this moment, a person slowly walked over from the path leading to the mirror lake. He wore a loose robe. It was Duan Zheng Chun.
He walked in front of Qiao Feng, bowed deeply, and said,"Hero Qiao is summoned. What can I do for you?”
Qiao Feng tilted his head slightly and glared at Duan Zheng Chun as if he wanted to swallow him whole. A wave of anger suddenly burned in his chest as he said,""Prince Duan, don't you know why I invited you here?”
Duan Zhengchun sighed and said," You're doing this because of the incident outside Yanmen Pass. I listened to a good person's words and was tricked by others. I injured your mother's life and caused your father to commit suicide. It's really a big mistake."”
"Why did you harm my foster father, Qiao Sanhuai, and his wife?" Qiao Feng asked coldly.”
Duan Zhengchun shook his head slowly and said sadly,""I only hoped to cover up this matter, but I didn't know that I would sink deeper and deeper into it until it was difficult to extricate myself.”
Qiao Feng said,"Heh, you're a straightforward man. If you want to end it yourself, I'll do it."”
" If it weren't for Sect Leader Qiao's help," Duan Zheng Chun said," I would have died by the lake this afternoon. I'm only alive for half a day because of you." If Hero Qiao wants to take my life, feel free to do so.
Qiao Feng listened to his bold words and couldn't help but feel moved. He had always liked to make friends with heroes. Ever since he saw Duan Zheng Chun and saw his heroic bearing, he felt a sense of appreciation for him. If it was an ordinary festival, it would be a major insult to him. He would have long laughed it off and drank dozens of bowls of strong wine together. However, how could he let go of the irreconcilable hatred between his parents? He raised his palm and said,"As a child, I must avenge my parents and teachers." You killed my father, mother, foster father, foster mother, and teacher. A total of five people, so I'll give you five palm strikes. After you receive five palm strikes from me, whether you live or die, the grudge will be written off.”
Duan Zhengchun smiled bitterly." A life in exchange for a palm strike. This Duan's retribution is too light. I feel deeply grateful."”
Qiao Feng thought to himself,"Don't say that your Dali's Duan Clan's martial arts are outstanding, but I'm afraid that you won't be able to withstand even a single palm strike from this Qiao."”"Look at the palm like this," he said. His left hand circled and his right palm struck out.
With a flash of lightning, another thunderbolt came crashing down from the sky. The lightning aided the palm momentum. Qiao Feng's punch had the power of wind and thunder. With a bang, it struck Duan Zheng Chun's chest. However, he was unable to stand still and fell out. With a thud, he crashed into the railing of the bluestone bridge. He hung limply and did not move at all.
Qiao Feng was startled. Why are you so useless?" He leaped forward and grabbed the back of his collar, lifting him up. He was shocked, and thunder rumbled in his ears. The rain splashed on his face and body, but he didn't feel anything."Why did he become so light?"
When he saved Duan Zheng Chun this afternoon, he carried him for a long time. A person with high martial arts skills would be able to immediately notice the difference in the weight of one and a half jin in his hand. However, at this moment, he felt Duan Zheng Chun's body suddenly become lighter by dozens of jin. An inexplicable fear suddenly rose in his heart, and his entire body broke out in a cold sweat.
At this moment, lightning flashed again. Qiao Feng reached out and grabbed Duan Zheng Chun's face, and an exquisite mask fell from his hand. Under the flashing lightning, he could see it clearly and cried out involuntarily,""Ah Zhu, Ah Zhu, so it's you!”
He only felt that his limbs and bones no longer had any strength. He could not help but kneel down and hug A'Zhu's legs. He knew that he had used all his strength in this palm strike. If a first-class hero in the martial arts world didn't use his palm to meet it, he wouldn't be able to withstand it, let alone this timid little Zhu. Of course, this palm strike had broken all her ribs and shattered her internal organs. Even if the divine doctor were to save her, it would be difficult to take her life back.
A'Zhu leaned against the railing of the bridge, and her body slowly slid down. She fell on Qiao Feng and whispered,"Big brother, I…I…I've treated you so badly. Are you angry with me?”
Qiao Feng said loudly,"I'm not angry with you. I'm angry with myself. I hate myself."”As he spoke, he raised his hand and hit his own head.
A'Zhu's left hand moved, wanting to stop him from striking himself, but he couldn't raise his arm and said,"Big brother, promise me that you will never hurt yourself.”
"Why?" Qiao Feng shouted. Why? Why?"
"Big brother, untie my clothes and take a look at my left shoulder."”Qiao Feng and her traveled thousands of miles and stayed together. They had always been polite and self-restrained. When he heard her ask him to untie her clothes, he was stunned. "I've been yours for a long time, I…I…my whole body is yours." Take a look…take a look at my left shoulder and you'll understand.”
Qiao Feng's eyes were filled with tears. When he heard her speak, his mind was not in a mess. He had a glimmer of hope in his heart. He immediately pressed his left palm against her back and quickly circulated his true energy into her body, hoping to save her from a big mistake. His right hand slowly unbuttoned her clothes, revealing her left shoulder.
A long bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, and Qiao Feng's eyes lit up. He saw that her skin was as white as snow, but there was a red word on her shoulder: "Duan."
Qiao Feng was surprised and sad. He did not dare to look at her anymore. He quickly pulled her clothes up and covered her shoulders. He gently hugged her and asked,"You have the word 'Duan' on your shoulder. What does that mean?”
"When my father and mother gave me away to someone else, they stabbed me on my shoulder so that I could…wait for the day when we can recognize each other."”"This 'Duan' word, this 'Duan' word…" A'Zhu said,"I'm not sure.""During the day today, they found a mark on Miss Zi's shoulder and knew it was their daughter. You…you…did you see that mark?”"No, it's not convenient for me," Qiao Feng said.”A'Zhu said,"She…The tattoo on her shoulder is also a red 'Duan' character, exactly the same as mine."”
"You…you're also their daughter?" Qiao Feng suddenly realized and said in a trembling voice.”
"I didn't know until I saw the words tattooed on Zi's shoulder." She also has a golden lock plate, which is the same as mine. There are also twelve words engraved on it. Her words were: 'The bamboo by the lake, full of green, reporting peace, how happy.'The words on my lock plate are: 'Stars in the sky, sparkling, forever brilliant, Chang' an is peaceful.'I…I didn't know what it meant before, I just thought it was a good word, but it turned out to be my mother's name. My mother is that woman Ruan…Ruan Xingzhu. This pair of locking plates was given to my mother by my father. She gave birth to me and my sister and gave one to each of us to wear around our necks.”
Qiao Feng said," I understand. I have to find a way to treat your injuries immediately. It's not too late to talk about these things later."”
"No!" A'Zhu said. No! I want to make things clear to you. If you delay any longer, it will be too late. Big brother, you have to hear me out." Qiao Feng couldn't bear to go against her wishes and could only say,""Alright, I'll listen to you, but don't waste your energy.”A'Zhu smiled slightly and said,"Big brother, you're really good. You're always on my side. How can you spoil me so much?"”"I'll spoil you a hundred times, a thousand times more in the future." Qiao Feng said.”
"Enough, enough. I don't like you treating me too well." When I become lawless, no one will care. Big Brother, I…I hid behind the bamboo house and eavesdropped on Father, Mother, and Sister Zi. It turns out that my father has another wife. He and my mother are not officially married. First, they gave birth to me, and the next year, they gave birth to my sister. Later, my father wanted to return to Dali, but my mother refused to let him go. The two of them had a big fight. My mother even hit him, but my father did not fight back. Then…then…there was no other way, so they broke up. My grandfather is very strict. If he finds out about this, he will definitely kill my mother. My mother is afraid to take my sister home. I had no choice but to give them to others, hoping that they would be able to recognize each other in the future. I tattooed the word 'Duan' on my sister's shoulder. The person who adopted me only knew that my mother's surname was Ruan. Actually, actually, my surname is Duan…"
Qiao Feng felt even more pity in his heart and whispered,"Poor A'Zhu."
A'Zhu said,"When mom gave me to someone else, I was only a little over a year old. Of course I didn't recognize dad. I didn't even recognize mom." Big brother, you're the same. That night in the apricot forest, I heard about your background. I was very sad because we were both children with the same hard life.”
The lightning kept flashing and the thunderbolts came one after another. All of a sudden, a big tree by the river was struck by lightning and fell to the ground. The two of them didn't pay attention to anything outside, even though the world was changing, they didn't seem to notice it.
Ah Zhu continued," The person who killed your father and mother is actually my father. Sigh, the arrangements of the heavens are really too bitter for us. And, and…the one who got my father's name out of Madam Ma's mouth was me. If I hadn't disguised myself as Bai Shijing to deceive her, she would never have said my father's name. People say that there is fate in the dark, but I never believe it. But…but…do you think I can believe it?”
Qiao Feng raised his head. The dark clouds in the sky had long covered the moon without a trace of light. A long bolt of lightning passed by, illuminating the surroundings, as if God had suddenly opened his eyes.
He lowered his head dejectedly, his heart at a loss. He asked,"Do you know that Duan Zheng Chun is really your father?”
"It can't be wrong." I heard my father and mother hug my sister and cry bitterly, telling me how they abandoned us. My parents said that they would find me no matter what. How could they have guessed that they were their biological children?
