Tianyi

After a long while, he sighed, clasped his hands together, recited a Buddhist sentence, turned around and left the hospital without saying any more.

Lao Che quickly opened and closed the courtyard door for him, and hung the bolt.

When she turned around, she saw that all the sisters had come out and gathered in front of Xue Yi's flower window.

Huang Yi rushed to ask: "Sister, your whole family was killed all because of this monk. Why don't you kill him to take revenge?"

Xue Yi looked at her sisters and asked, "Have you forgotten what Master said?"

Everyone is thoughtful.

Xue Yi said: "Master said that everyone in the world thinks that revenge is a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye. But Master, she doesn't see it that way. Master believes that revenge does not mean that if you kill my family, I will kill you. That is meaningless. Real revenge is to give yourself the ability to live a beautiful life, to stay away from people who constantly hurt you, to make evil people no longer able to do evil things, and to make this world a lonely place. The look you like is closer."

The sisters stood in solemn silence, holding their breath.

Xueyi added: "After master found Sister Kuijian, he brought her to Tianyi Courtyard to meet me. He first told us our origins, and then said these words. You were all there at that time. On the other hand, it’s a pity that I was still young, so I probably didn’t pay attention to it. But I kept it in my heart every word, and to this day, I never dare to forget it.”

The sisters saluted together and said, "Thank you, eldest sister, for your advice."

Summer is long, and in a blink of an eye, a few more days have passed.

Qing Yi and Lan Yi followed Xue Yi's instructions and went to Sifang County to take Su Jian out of the prison, saying that when they returned to Tian Yi Courtyard, the master would give her the answer.

General Guo was very enthusiastic. After getting the news, he asked Huo Shuai for leave and escorted the sword all the way back.

After Lan Yi returned to the hospital, she secretly told Chi Yi that if she had known someone was so enthusiastic, she wouldn't have had to make this trip and just let Qing Yi go by herself.

Chi Yi had a big mouth and immediately shouted to let everyone know that even though Qing Yi was so good-tempered, he chased Chi Yi and ran all over the yard for a long time.

Guo Xing was embarrassed and hid in a neighboring county to talk to Luo Fuwei.

Du Jian asked Xue Yi, what is the answer?
Xueyi said that if you wait for another day, the answer will come.

On the second day, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly. As expected, a woman in black clothes came outside the hospital. She was covered in strong clothes and wore a black cloak. She looked tall and tall.

The breeze blew by, and the cloak was lifted up, revealing that she was round and plump, with graceful curves, and her waist was as straight as a pen.

Xue Yi wore an old car and let her into the courtyard. He was about to set up a seat, but the woman shook her head.

The sisters were scattered in the courtyard, looking at the woman curiously.

Su Jian stood in front of the door of the hall, looked at it carefully for a long time, and asked: "Are you my biological sister? I heard from sister Xue Yi that your name is Su Mo?"

The woman nodded, but looked at Xue Yi sitting in front of the flower window of the wing.

Xue Yi said: "I once asked Mr. Sun to find out the names of the female officials in the palace, but I didn't expect that my sister used her official name in the palace instead of her real name. If the emperor hadn't said it himself, I would never have known. The official name of the female historian is Heiyi."

The woman said lightly: "You are just a tool when you enter the palace, why do you need your real name?"

Xueyi thought for a while and asked directly and sincerely: "Five days ago, I received a summons from Mr. Luo. My sister is finally willing to accept Mr. Sun's persuasion and is willing to come to Tianyi Courtyard to meet us. Can you please tell us, sister, Do you know the whereabouts of our master?"

The woman didn't answer, she raised her head and looked around, looked around carefully, and suddenly said: "So, this is Tianyi Courtyard, and you are the people of Tianyi Sect."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the courtyard was shocked, because the voice sounded clearly that of Aunt Tianyi.

Chiyi's face turned red, and he was about to yell, but quickly covered his mouth.

The sisters all looked at Xueyi eagerly.

Xue Yi's expression was also a little excited, but she quickly calmed down and said: "Sister is good at learning human voices, and it is almost real. I have a question to ask. In the early summer of last year, I heard Master's voice teaching... That time Is it my sister or my master?"

The woman simply said: "It's not me."

Xue Yi couldn't bear it anymore, she was overjoyed and said anxiously: "My master really didn't pass away? Is she really hiding in the palace with her sister?"

The woman shook her head.Xueyi tried hard to control her emotions, and finally calmed down, saying: "Sister, I have no way of guessing all the past. What happened to my master, I am afraid that only my sister in this world knows. Since my sister is willing to come to meet me, It must be pity for us sisters who are unwilling to give up, so please explain it in detail."

The woman sighed: "My aunt asked me not to tell you. I didn't want to come here. But I couldn't help but that reckless young man kept coming to persuade me. Later, Grand Master Sun also persuaded me, and Lord Chen also sent me a letter. I just thought, avoid it." Not seeing her is not the solution, so I came anyway."

"Grand Master Sun? Lord Chen?" Xue Yi thought about it, her eyes flashed, and she said, "Could it be that Lord Chen was demoted to the frontier as a county magistrate more than ten years ago because of his sister?"

The woman nodded and said, "You react so quickly. Mr. Sun said that it's better to come and see you, otherwise you won't be able to hide anything and you will feel very embarrassed."

Xue Yi said: "I'm just a little clever. If my sister really refuses to come to see you, I can't find anything. I can only guess."

"Guess?" The woman was a little curious and asked: "What would you guess? Well, if you can guess why I don't want to come, I will tell you everything I know. By the way, Let me remind you, the real reason is not because the aunt asked me not to tell. I listened to the aunt's instructions, but I did not promise the aunt. Therefore, if I really tell you, it will not be considered as a breach of my promise. "

Xueyi took a breath and said: "Okay, since sister said so, let me make a guess. Sister doesn't want to come here because she is worried that I will persuade her to enter my Tianyi Sect and not return to the palace, then she will go back to the palace again. You have no chance to take revenge on the emperor, right?"

The woman was very surprised and said: "Little sister, can you read minds?"

Xue Yi said: "No, I'm just comparing my feelings with others. If I were a sister, responsible for the blood feud of the whole clan, and had sneaked into the palace, of course I would look for an opportunity to take revenge. And my sister has met my master, and with my master's personality, she will definitely advise her. My sister has given up on revenge, so she is worried that once she comes to Tianyimen to meet me, she will not be able to escape and will not be able to get revenge."

The woman said: "You guessed it right. So, is my worry unnecessary? Let me first say that no matter what I tell you, you are not allowed to stop me or let me leave."

Xue Yi nodded and said, "Sister, don't worry. If after talking to us today, sister still wants to leave, I will naturally restrain her and will never stop her."

The woman said: "It's good to have this sentence. Little sister, if I want to answer the question you just asked me, I have to start from the beginning and listen to me slowly."

"My father and your father are both great-nephews of the former Holy Emperor. Our sect doesn't have much dealings with the Holy Emperor. Although we are officials in the court, the whole family lives an upright life. Our grandfather, escaped from the Holy Emperor. Later, there was a palace turmoil, but due to overwork, he died of illness before he was sixty years old. My father took over my grandfather's official position. Your father passed the imperial examination. The two brothers were deacons in the same court. They performed their duties with integrity and were self-disciplined. They have a good reputation. That's right. Our two families, whether in the capital or out of town, have always lived next to each other and built a family together."

"Twenty years ago, on the day you turned 20 days old, the whole family was celebrating together. My father was entering your name into the household register, but he suddenly suffered a disaster. That year, my father was in his thirties. , your father is only in his twenties. I still have several brothers, but your father has only one child. In the Wufu household register, the names of women from the Wu family are ranked the same as those of men, and they are named "Inheriting the Blessing of Heaven" "It means that our father is from the generation of Cheng, and we are from the generation of You."

"Because these big names don't sound very pleasant to girls, our family gave us another nickname. My name is Mu Mo, the daughter of my father's first wife is called Mu Jian, and you are called Mu Xue. My biological mother was my father’s aunt. I was raised by my biological mother outside the Wangji Temple in the suburbs of Beijing until I was two years old. I was young and intelligent, and could remember things by then, but because our father was demoted together, After leaving Beijing, my mother was alone and could no longer raise me secretly, so she had no choice but to ask me to recognize my ancestors and return to my clan, and follow my father to other places."

"One year later, I was three years old, holding the sword for about one and a half years, and you only had a hundred days. On that day, a disaster occurred, and all the people in the two houses were sealed in their homes by the officers and soldiers, and they beheaded one by one. After all, they were killed. Somewhat soft-hearted, the officer leading the troops said that he would kill the men first, and put the wives, concubines and three little daughters into the woodshed, saying that he would keep them until the end before killing them."

"The women in the woodshed worked together, biting with their mouths and tearing with their hands, until they bloodyly tore the wooden wall of the woodshed into a hole through which a child could barely get out. When I was three years old, On that day, everything that will happen will be seen in their eyes and remembered in their hearts. They told me to just run away and let me hold you for a hundred days, and let the sword that is more than one year old pull on the back of my clothes. , forced his way through the hole they tore and crawled out."

"The woodshed is next to the courtyard wall, and there is a dog hole in the courtyard wall. I took you two and climbed out of the dog hole out of the courtyard wall, and desperately went to the river where I usually play and walk. Run. After a while, the officers and soldiers discovered that we had run away and immediately chased us. We even chased us to the river. I panicked and lost my strength, so the three of us rolled into the river in a row."

"The officers and soldiers stayed by the river for half an hour. When they saw no one floating on the river, they thought that the three of us had drowned together, so they sent the team back. Later, the report reported that all the people in the household register were beheaded. But in fact, as soon as the three of us fell into the river, we were saved by my aunt, your master."

"The aunt later told me that she received a message from my mother, saying that someone knew that my mother had an affair with my father and had a daughter, and was reporting it to the emperor. My mother got the message and knew that she could not escape, so she I begged my aunt to go to my father’s house and rescue me. I also sent a gift to my aunt with the letter. As soon as she received the letter, she rushed to Wu Mansion. When she rushed closer, she happened to see the three of us from the dog Climb out of the hole and run for your life."

"The aunt soon discovered that the officers and soldiers were chasing after her. She looked in the direction and knew that we were likely to fall into the water. She used Qinggong to come to the river first and dived into the water to wait. The three of us fell into the river. , I was caught by my aunt, and I hid among the water plants by the river. My aunt later told me that at that time, Su Jian and I had choked on the cold water, but you were the only one who seemed not to choke at all, with your big black eyes open. , keep an eye on Auntie."

"After the officers and soldiers left, the aunt took us ashore. She fed us some cold-warming pills, and I woke up quickly, but the sword was still in a coma. The aunt couldn't take the three of us at once. She was also afraid that you would cry, so she told me to look at Pu Jian. She hid Pu Jian and me in the grass, and told me that she would come back to pick us up soon."

"However, as soon as the aunt left, Su Jian woke up. She refused to listen to me and ran downstream along the river. I couldn't hold her, so I had to follow her and chase her. As a result, I was pulled , I lost my footing, and I fell into the river again. Fortunately, I had taken medicine this time, so I was not afraid of the cold, nor did I get choked. I paddled and floated, but I couldn't get to the shore. Fortunately, there was a lot of water on the river. A big boat came quickly, and Grand Master Sun was passing by on his way back to Beijing, so I was rescued by him."

"My aunt told me that after she settled you in, she immediately came back to look for us, but she couldn't find us. She followed the footprints along the river, and in the end she only saw a series of smaller footprints left by the river. , the bigger footprints slipped into the river. She thought I was dead, so after she found the sword, she didn't tell you that she had a sister. "

"Judging from the traces left by the river, the one-and-a-half-year-old baby seemed to have been taken away by someone. Since then, the aunt has been searching everywhere. It wasn't until Su Jian was 14 years old that she found Su Jian. She asked you sisters to recognize each other, but she didn’t want you to avenge the family. Therefore, I have never told you the causes and consequences of the massacre."

The woman stopped.

Su Jian suddenly murmured and said: "It turns out that it was really my fault... I thought that sister Xueyi and I were the only ones who escaped that year. I also always thought that I was only a little over a year old at that time. , Aunt Tianyi dared to leave me alone in the grass and only save my sister who has just turned [-] days old. Isn't she worried that I will run away? I hate her, she obviously doesn't really want to save me. "

"So, I don't like these sisters in your Tianyi Sect. Aunt Tianyi is unwilling to save me or accept me as a disciple, and I will never let you have an easy time... Only now do I know that, at that time, I My biological sister is also here. My sister is already three years old. Aunt Tianyi asked her to look at me. Naturally, she thought there was no harm done. She really wanted to save me. Who knew..."

He choked with his sword and couldn't speak any more.

The woman's eyes stopped on her face and she continued calmly: "Who would have thought that you woke up too quickly and didn't listen to me at all. I ran after you and couldn't hold you back. You pushed me around , and even caused me to fall into the river... If you want to blame me, you should blame yourself, not my aunt."

Tears fell from his eyes as he cried: "This is my life. Sister Xueyi was right before, this is God's will..."

But Xue Yi said to the woman: "Sister, please continue talking."
