Legend of the Knight

Chapter 222
"Jing Ji, the fourth generation disciple, betrayed Xiaoyao Valley last night."

When Wu Xiazi said this, everyone was shocked.

For today's matter, Weiming thought of various results, but what he never expected was this.

In fact, from Weiming's point of view, this is not a big deal at all, why is it here!
It's just...

However, this is reality.

In reality, there is no emphasis on equivalent exchange. There are many things that "this is just" and the heaviness behind it makes people sigh.

Those children who are ignorant of danger, those teenagers who are not deeply involved in the world, those men, women, young people, middle-aged people, and old people who have been hooked for various reasons, which one is not because of " This is nothing more than ", paying a price they simply cannot afford.

In other words, Jingji and Weiming thought Xuan Mingzi too well.

……

At first, when Xuan Mingzi suddenly appeared outside the door, Thorn was really surprised.What surprised him wasn't that Xuan Mingzi came to look for him, but that Wei Ming, who was on guard at night, didn't find him.

This is enough to show that either Weiming was half-hearted or fell asleep, or Weiming was held up by other things, or Xuan Mingzi's martial arts had broken level 5, so that Weiming couldn't detect him. sneak into.

No matter what the situation is, it's not something you can do by yourself.

What Jing Ji didn't expect was that Xuan Mingzi took the initiative to invite him to go out for a chat, so he agreed without thinking.

Because Thorn didn't want to disturb Wu Xiazi because of Xuan Mingzi.

Huang Xiaoshi said that the master is very old now, he must never fight with others.

However, Xuan Mingzi, whom Wu Xiazi hated the most, sneaked into the valley at this time.

Last time, Xuan Mingzi stole a sunspot and destroyed Wuxiazi's favorite pair of chess pieces, which made him feel distressed every time he thought about it.

If we let Master know that Xuan Mingzi is coming again this time, what if the old man gets angry?

So, Jingji took the sword and obediently followed Xuan Mingzi out of the valley. It was not that he was stupid, but Jingji believed that as long as Weiming was still awake, he would definitely be able to perceive himself.

Xuan Mingzi thought he had lured the thorn out, so he was so complacent that he almost slipped his hand and shot at the thorn.

In fact, Thorn is planning to use this dense forest that he is very familiar with. In addition to the unknown, the right time, place and people are all on his side. As long as the timing is right, the two will join forces to bury Xuan Mingzi.

But the changes after that were beyond the expectations of Thorn and Wei Ming.

Xuan Mingzi was actually telling Thorn about his life experience.

Don't look at Thorn's seemingly calm face, in fact, his heart is full of storms and stormy waves.

After that, Xuan Mingzi said a lot, and Thorn didn't care anymore, he just wanted to know whether what Xuan Mingzi said was true or not.

However, even if there is only one possibility in a hundred, Thorn still wants to try it. It is like a person who is about to drown, and when he sees a straw floating over, he will hold on tightly.

Weiming, who has been looking for his parents for more than ten years, understands Thorn's mood very well at this moment, so he only blocked it symbolically, and then let him go.

The reason why Wei Ming went to inform Wu Xiazi was because he felt that it was more or less a matter after all.

If Master thinks this is inappropriate, just wait until dawn before looking for thorns.

Killing the Dragon King is not like killing a chicken. How can it be such a simple matter? Preparations, plans, locations, and arrangements in advance can't be done in ten days and a half months.

Before doing anything, Jing Ji finds out that he has been deceived by Xuan Mingzi, or everyone finds that Jing Ji has been deceived by Xuan Mingzi, he can quit at any time.

Moreover, he could also hit Xuan Mingzi with a backhand blow by the way.

Anyway, for people like Xuan Mingzi, there is no need to talk about morals, let alone worry about being scolded by him for treachery.

So no matter how you look at it, the thorns will not suffer.

Unexpectedly, Wu Xiazi opened his mouth to chase Thorn back overnight, and then he actually wanted to label Thorn as "betrayal".

……

"Master, you can't do this!" Weiming exclaimed to Wuxiazi after taking two steps forward.

"Eldest senior brother, hurry up and persuade master!" Weiming tugged on Gu Yuexuan's clothes, and begged him, "Second senior brother just listened to Xuan Mingzi's rhetoric, but he didn't do anything, how could it be a betrayal. "

When Weiming said this, tears flowed down.

Being a traitor is the biggest crime in the world of martial arts. It can be said that this alone is enough to make anyone a public enemy of martial arts.

In contrast, any expulsion from the teacher's school is all tender and tender.

Once it is announced that Thorn has rebelled, not only will his way back to Xiaoyao Valley be cut off, but he will be completely ruined.

Also, what about Junior Sister, does her father agree to her daughter's marriage to a traitor?

The name of a traitor can instantly drive thorns from heaven to hell.

Back then, wasn't his father wronged to death like this!
……

When Weiming heard Gu Yuexuan tell about his parents, at that moment, Weiming rushed forward with enthusiasm, and really had the idea of ​​completely destroying this unfair world.

What martial arts decency, what justice and morality, what heroic demeanor, what bullshit senior brother, are all fake, fake, fake!
You all killed my parents, sworn enemies! !
However, the last sliver of rationality allowed Weiming to maintain a clear heart, and then followed Gu Yuexuan on the way back to his hometown, and ran all the way to vent his anger. Weiming finally had time to think about his parents. up.

After thinking for a long time, Weiming figured it out, this matter is not the fault of senior brother, nor Gu Yunfei's fault.

The root of everything lies in the Wudang faction.

Since Wudang was going to send an undercover agent, he had to trust him completely. How could he indiscriminately, without listening to others' explanations, directly label his disciples?

What's more, the Wudang sect publicly declared that Dongfang Xi was a Wudang traitor, and everyone should be punished if they got it. This matter is even more worthy of attention.

Even if Dongfang Xi was a traitor, it was the Wudang faction who took the initiative to send him there. Is this something worth boasting about?

Moreover, after the Wudang faction revealed Dongfang Xi's identity as an undercover traitor, it not only prevented him from returning to the Central Plains martial arts, but also prevented him from gaining a foothold in the Tianlong sect.

This is to put Dongfang Xi to death.

From then on, whether it was my father, my mother, or Gu Yunfei, they all fought for the belief in my heart.

The great tragedy here is that none of them are at fault.

With the death of the older generation of Wudang School, no one will ever know the truth about Dongfang Xi's mysterious case.

In fact, this incident was entirely due to the internal struggle among Wudang's own three religions.

If the simple undercover is unsuccessful, there is no need to do this level at all.

Dongfang Xi was actually a victim of Wudang's internal struggle.

But no matter what, once you are labeled as a traitor, you will never be able to wash it off unless my teacher clarifies it.

……

It is also because the occurrence of traitors in the sect is too important a matter. Many times, even if a betrayal actually occurs, the sect will not say so in order to care about its own face.

It can also be said that this is because of the love of the incense, and it is for the sake of his disciples, leaving a way of life.

That Shaolin abandonment has no precepts. He has been away from Shaolin for so many years, and Shaolin Temple still reserves his monk status for him, never saying that he is a rebellious monk.

It is also because of this that Wujie can play black boxing in Luoyang with peace of mind and style. If one day he has nowhere to go, he even chooses to go back to Shaolin Temple.

This is not only good for Wujie, but also good for Shaolin Temple itself.

Which sect doesn't cherish its centuries-old face?

Regarding today's matter, Weiming felt that Master was talking nonsense when he opened his mouth.

Even if Jingji followed Xuanmingzi out of the valley, even if Xuanmingzi was a member of the Tianlong Cult, even if there was some criticism in the Jianghu, he would not open his mouth to call Jingji a traitor.

Could it be that the master is old and stupid, so confused that he doesn't know what he is talking about?
Thinking of this, Weiming turned to beg Gu Yuexuan.

Eldest brother and second senior brother are siblings, and he is the head of Xiaoyao Valley, so he will definitely speak justice for second senior brother.

Unexpectedly, after hearing Wu Xiazi's words, Gu Yuexuan said with difficulty: "Disciple obeys."

When Gu Yuexuan said this, even Wang Rong was frightened and cried, which meant that the matter had reached the point where there was no room for maneuver.

Gu Yuexuan was about to go out of the house, but Wei Ming dodged to block him.

"Gu Yuexuan! Why did you treat the thorns like this!!" Weiming was angry at Gu Yuexuan for the first time in all these years.

"Weiming'er, Rong'er, come here." Wu Xiazi beckoned to the two of them, and the two stepped up and down, kneeling in front of Wu Xiazi's bed.

"I know what the kid Thorn is like." Wu Xiazi said after a long sigh, "But this matter is not about how we treat him, but how people in the Central Plains martial arts treat him."

After Wu Xiazi said a few words, he felt that his heart was tight and uncomfortable, so he nodded to Gu Yuexuan.

After turning around, Gu Yuexuan also took a deep breath before saying to the two juniors and juniors with difficulty: "The person who led someone to attack the Tianshan sect and killed nearly a hundred disciples of the Tianshan sect is Xuan Mingzi!"

When Weiming heard it, there was a buzzing in his head.

He could not have been more wrong.

……

During these years in Xiaoyao Valley, Weiming has always regarded this place as his home.

A benevolent elder brother, a tricky second elder brother, a benevolent father, and a well-behaved younger sister are rare luxury for Wei Ming who lost his family twice since he was a child.

Huang Xiaoshi once joked that Xiaoyao Valley is simply an orphanage.

This is half true.

The three most painful things in life are "bereavement of father in youth, loss of spouse in middle age, loss of son in old age".

Young and lonely, what he lost was not only dependence, but also the love of blood relatives and sense of security that could never be made up in his heart.

Orphans are pitiful enough, and there are people who are more pitiful than orphans, those orphans who don't even know who their parents are.

From childhood to adulthood, these children are always full of unanswered questions in their minds.

"Who are my parents?"

"What do they look like?"

"Are they dead, or alive?"

"Why, why did they abandon me?"

Dongfang Weiming's long-cherished wish, besides learning martial arts and becoming a hero, is to find his biological parents.

This thought is even stronger than learning martial arts to become a hero, otherwise he wouldn't have tied the yellow silk scarf that he had changed so many times on his arm, and it would last for more than ten years.

As time goes by, Weiming also understands that the hope of finding his biological parents is becoming more and more slim. In addition, he has integrated into Xiaoyao Valley and found the feeling of home again, so he gradually let go of this obsession in his heart.

However, when Gu Yuexuan told Weiming about his parents, at that moment, Weiming was furious and frantic.

If it hadn't been for a long run with Gu Yuexuan, giving Weiming enough time to calm down, no one can tell what would really happen.

……

From the bottom of his heart, Weiming has always liked this second senior brother who often bickers with him and bullies him with the excuse of practicing martial arts.

It's not that Weiming likes to be bullied, or that Weiming doesn't think a gentle elder brother is better, but that Weiming thinks that Thorn is similar to herself, and the two have the same destiny.

From childhood to adulthood, Gu Yuexuan liked to tell stories to Thorn. A small part of the stories he told were the legend of Xiao Xiami, and more of them were stories about his father, Liaodong hero Gu Yunfei.

Whenever this time, Gu Yuexuan's eyes are full of light, this is the father he admires the most.

At first, Jingji also liked listening to Gu Yunfei's stories, but then he became more and more irritable.

Because Thorn didn't have a father at all, he couldn't even imagine the image of a father in his mind.

Gu Yuexuan is sharing his father's story with Jingji, but to Jingji, this is a kind of showing off.

Gu Yuexuan was sensible very early, but he still didn't understand why this younger brother didn't like listening to stories all at once, and why his younger brother became more and more difficult to get along with.

……

Although all the four male disciples in Xiaoyaogu Orphanage are orphans, their situations are completely different.

Huang Xiaoshi is a pseudo-orphan, he is the least burdened.

Gu Yuexuan lost his parents when he was young, but he still enjoyed the love of his father and mother for several years in his ignorance. What his father and mother left him is the most glorious image in his life.

It is also because under the light of his father's brilliance that Gu Yuexuan matured so precociously. He has to learn from his father in everything he does. This is a kind of positive reinforcement from belief.

In fact, Gu Yuexuan has already surpassed his father, whether it is martial arts, prestige or status in the world, but he still regards his father as a role model that he always needs to learn from.

Dongfang Weiming, although he has never met his parents, but he grew up in the home of his adoptive parents, and he did not lack love when he was a child.Regarding the image of his parents, Dongfang Weiming still has at least the yellow silk scarf with his name written on it.

Whenever Weiming misses his parents, he would take out a yellow silk scarf, stretch out a finger and repeatedly copy the four words "Dongfang Weiming".

My mother must be very beautiful.Because everyone was amazed that the word was written so beautifully, it must be the daughter of a wealthy family.

My mother is a young lady, so my father is also a very special person.

Although his parents only left Weiming with a name, they still gave him a glorious image.

As for the thorns, there was nothing in his mind, it was empty.

Thorn grew up with only one jade pendant.

This red jade pendant is amorphous and non-crystalline. There is an opening at the bottom, and the inside is hollow, but the texture is very good, and it will not break no matter how you drop it. It looks quite valuable.

But what's the use!
Can Yupei tell him what his last name is!
Speaking of it, the thorns are worse than the unknown.

Weiming at least knows that his name is "Dongfang Weiming", which is the name left to him by his parents.

As for the thorn, he was named by Gu Yuexuan, because Gu Yuexuan picked him up in the thorn bush.

Thorn doesn't even know his own surname. It's like a person who has only a soul but no roots.

……

For so many years, the reason why Thorn didn't care about his origin at all, could it be that he didn't care?

No.

It's useless if he cares.

Even the thorns wear jade around their necks all the time, and they are always exposed, so what.

You're an outcast who doesn't even know your last name...

Today, someone suddenly told Thorn about his life experience, his father, his mother, and his sister, they are all still alive.

At such a moment, Thorn could no longer control his thoughts.Even if they can no longer recognize each other, Thorn wants to know what they look like, whether they are doing well, have they ever missed themselves?

Not to mention that Xuan Mingzi was going to take him to kill the Dragon King, but even saying that he was going to kill the emperor, Thorn also left without saying a word.

It is precisely because of this that Weiming did not forcibly stop Thorn from leaving, because Weiming felt very empathetic about this matter.

What's more, neither Thorn nor Weiming had thought that this matter would be so serious.

Now that things have to be blamed, I can only blame Jingji for not being able to firmly resist Xuan Mingzi's rhetoric.

If you want to blame, you can only blame Weiming for not making up his mind to prevent Thorn from leaving.

If you want to blame, you can only blame Wu Xiazi and Gu Yuexuan for not sharing some key information with the others in time, so that Thorn fell into the trap of others because of poor information.

……

At this moment, Wei Ming hated himself to the point of gnashing his teeth.

If I had known earlier, even if I tried my best last night, I couldn't let the thorns leave.

In fact, Xuan Mingzi never does things aimlessly, both Thorn and Dongfang Weiming are on Xuan Mingzi's abduction list.

The script has been repeated so many times, sometimes, Xuan Mingzi cheated away the thorns, sometimes, Xuan Mingzi kidnapped the unknown, and more often, Xuan Mingzi killed two birds with one stone and deceived both of them. gone.

Because this is a temptation that no orphan in confusion can refuse: his own life experience.

Fortunately this time, Gu Yuexuan had already untied Weiming's knot in advance, but when he heard that the Dragon King avenged his parents, Weiming was still moved.

If not, if Xuan Mingzi took Weiming to his parents' grave, and then took the opportunity to say some well-prepared words beside him.

Looking at the overgrown graves of his parents, and the well-organized tomb of Gu Yunfei and his wife not far away, Weiming might explode in his mentality and flatten Gu Yunfei's tomb, and then it will be black to the end .

Don't talk about others' faults without others' affairs; don't persuade others to be kind without others' suffering.

Who would have thought that the life experiences of the three orphans in Xiaoyao Valley are so complicated that a sentence of love, hate, and hatred is not enough to sum it up.

……

After figuring out the cause and effect of the unknown, he felt great hatred. Last night he thought that he had fulfilled the thorn, but he never thought that it would actually harm him.

The sinisterness of the world and the viciousness of the human heart were brought to the extreme by Xuan Mingzi.

"Master, senior brother! You give me some more time, give me another three days, and I will definitely find the second senior brother back!!"

Weiming knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly to Wuxiazi with a crying voice.

After a while, Wu Xiazi waved his hand feebly, shedding tears, stood up and rushed out of the house.

　This is an important plot point. I wrote it for a day and changed it for two days. I feel a bit at a loss.
