break through nine days

After Chu Suizhu and his party disappeared, a carriage drove out of the Chu family mansion and galloped all the way west.

After traveling for hundreds of miles, the carriage stopped at the foot of a mountain.

The mountain is a single peak, tall and straight, like a giant sword piercing into the sky.

Chu Zhenting got out of the car first, followed by the second child Chu Kuangfeng, the third child Chu Kuangyun, and the last one was Chu Tian.

The mountain road is steep, but the Chu family paved a road up the mountain with huge stones more than ten years ago. The stone steps have a total of 99 steps, winding all the way to a dojo on the top of the mountain.

The ashram is cold and cold, and among the shadows of one hundred and eight green gang trees, there is only one temple pavilion.

One hundred and eight trees correspond to the 24 solar terms and 72 climates in December of a year. The Buddhist meaning eliminates [-] roots of troubles.

As long as he could remember, Chu Tian would follow Chu Kuangyun to the temple pavilion to worship every year. Every time he asked who was worshiping, Chu Kuangyun would not answer, but the clever Chutian had already learned from his sad eyes. everything.

Father didn't say it, and he didn't mention it again, but after worshiping, his eyes would be sore and his chest would be blocked, and he would feel sad for a while.

But tonight was different. After walking down the steps, Chu Zhenting stopped in front of the temple pavilion.

Chu Kuangfeng and Chu Kuangyun seemed to have received some orders in advance, so they walked away, leaving only Chu Tian standing behind Chu Zhenting.

Among the three brothers of the Chu family, the eldest, Chu Tianyi, is a benevolent man. Three years ago, he was transferred to Jizhou County by the Chu Patriarchs' Association.

The second child, Chu Kuangfeng, is shrewd and is Chu Luo's father. He takes care of all the family's accounts. He has managed the huge Chu family in an orderly manner for more than ten years. He is already the best candidate for the next head of the family.

The youngest, Chu Kuangyun, is brave and invincible, with peak strength at the ninth level of the Spiritual Martial Realm, but he is devoted to martial arts and is not interested in family affairs.

The night wind blew, and Chu Zhenting and Chu Tian stood in front of the temple pavilion. The old man said softly, "Have you reached the Yellow Talisman Realm?"

Chu Tian nodded and hummed.

The mountain wind suddenly picked up, the mist drifted away under the moonlight, and the layers of leaves made whimpering and rubbing sounds like waves. Chu Zhenting turned his back to Chu Tian, ​​stared at the temple pavilion, and said, "Your mother lives in it!"

"I know!" Chu Tian still replied softly, but his voice was a bit lonely.

"People who are unsatisfactory in life, ten times out of ten, it is common for them to be in good fortune and misfortune. The Great Chu Empire was wiped out overnight, and the Qianwu Empire is now fragmented. It is Lin Yuanhai who is the head of a county and the leader of law enforcement. How glorious is it? Tianyangzong back then Assisting the Xia family, successfully claiming to be the leader of the righteous way, what about now? The world is so big, few people can do what they want."

The wooden doors of the temple pavilion creaked, and the curtains danced on the corridor.

Chu Zhenting's voice was thick and upright, exuding an indescribable desolation.

"Since the day you were deposed, I have been worried that you will be depressed from now on, but you, a child, have given me many surprises since I was a child. You are neither arrogant nor impetuous, neither arguing nor quarreling. Genius is important, but determination is the key. , I have loved and spoiled you since I was a child, and this is a large part of the reason," Chu Zhenting sighed, and said: "You are the hope of my Chu family, I was not wrong before, and I will not be wrong now!"

Chu Tian sighed in his heart. Hope is a very vague thing, and people's eyes are often deceiving. Instead of answering Chu Zhenting's words, he changed the subject and asked, "Grandpa, I want to know how much you hurt?" Another part of my reason!"

Chu Zhenting was taken aback for a moment, and finally looked at the temple pavilion creaking in the mountain wind, his thoughts seemed to fly far away.

"The other part of the reason why I love you is your mother!" His gentle eyes fell on Chu Tian, ​​and Chu Zhenting lovingly touched Chu Tian's head, and continued: "Your mother sacrificed for our Chu family. There are too many, I didn't tell you before, because the time has not come, and Kuang Yun didn't want to mention it, but now that you are old enough, you are qualified to know these things, Kuang Yun doesn't want to recall, so let me, an old man, pass the word ,hehe!"

"Twenty years ago, our Chu family was not in Mingfeng County, but in Yunhai County to the east of Jizhou County. Your mother was carried back from outside by your father. At that time, she was covered with injuries and almost died. Yedi stood by her side and pulled her back from the gate of hell."

"Your mother has a very high level of cultivation, and she deceived all of us. Until 15 years ago, for some reason, our whereabouts were discovered by law enforcement officers. At that time, [-] law enforcement officers and hundreds of warriors brought my Chu family together. Surrounded by fifteen strong men of the Yellow Talisman Realm, hehe, there is really no hope of surviving, but I never thought that it would be your mother who saved my entire Chu family!"

"At that time, your mother was already pregnant, but she blocked the joint attack of fifteen law enforcement officers and escaped with our Chu family. After chasing and fleeing all the way, all fifteen law enforcement officers died under your mother's hand." hand, but your mother was also seriously injured. Our Chu family came to Qingshi City at that time. After settling down, your mother struggled for several months and gave birth to you with the last ounce of strength. , let go and go west!"

"Before she died, your mother left this Nine Blades Breaking the Void, and told us not to tell you the truth if you don't break through to the Yellow Talisman Realm!"

Chu Zhenting finally finished speaking, and the old turbid tears had crawled down the wrinkles on his face and filled his cheeks.

Chu Tian kept silent, desperately holding back the tears in his eyes.

"Qianwu Empire, Xia family, I, Chutian, will definitely pay you back a hundredfold for the pain you have inflicted on my heart!"

"Your mother left it behind. Your father was trapped by love and was still unable to break through the peak of martial arts. I will leave the Nine Blades to you!" Chu Zhenting patted Chu Tian on the shoulder and put a yellowed booklet on him In his hand, he said: "Tomorrow at noon, we will set off for Jizhou County. There will be a narrow escape, and Xia Wuyou will never allow us to successfully hand over the mysterious talisman to the elder Taishang. block."

"Son, you have to remember that you are the hope of my Chu family. No matter how much setbacks and pains you face, I hope you will live strong, for the sake of the Chu family, for yourself, and for... Your mother!"

"I see, Grandpa!" Chu Tian carefully put the booklet into his arms, and nodded heavily.

"Talk to your mother again. I don't know when I'll be back after I'm gone!" Chu Zhenting glanced at Chu Tian with relief, and then turned around and walked down the mountain. He got up and became a little hunched up.

After all, Chu Tian couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes. When he lowered his head, the beads of the broken thread fell to the ground. He walked slowly into the temple pavilion, and Chu Kuangyun had already stood inside at some point.

In front of him, the statue that had been worshiped for so many years was staring at the father and son tenderly.

"Go here, if possible, kill someone!" Chu Kuangyun didn't turn his head, his voice was extremely cold.

"Who?"

"Chu Yunxiao!" After Chu Kuangyun finished speaking, he strode away from the temple pavilion.

Chu Tian didn't ask why, some things need to be investigated by himself, and some people want to commit suicide by themselves!

He sat cross-legged on the futon quietly, with the guqin safely placed on his lap, and he played it gently, playing endless sadness and longing!
