Shen Luoxia and Zhao Zheng sat side by side on the tree trunk, looking up into the distance, looking beyond the mountains. After looking for a while, she asked: "Do you like climbing trees?"
"It's okay. When I was younger, I climbed trees with other children, but I never climbed again after I got older." Zhao Zheng replied.
"My brother is just like you. He loved climbing trees when he was a child, but because they were worried that something would happen to him when he climbed trees, my parents often scolded him for it."
"Shopkeeper, I would like to ask, why did your brother pass away that year?" Zhao Zheng deliberately picked up the topic of Shen Luoxia's brother in order to trigger a hidden plot.
"He has been sick since he was a child. My parents took him around to seek medical advice. The doctor said that he had a 'heartache disease'. This disease is caused by nature. Unless he can find a martial arts master to use internal energy to treat it, he can open up the stagnation in the heart. Otherwise, it would be impossible to treat it with ordinary herbal medicine. Our family was very poor at that time, and no one was a martial arts expert. Where could we go to find any martial arts expert for help? Because there was no other way, our family could only watch me helplessly. My brother is getting thinner and thinner day by day, until he dies." After Shen Luoxia finished speaking, the look in her eyes dimmed immediately.
"How old was he when he died?" Although Zhao Zheng knew in advance that Shen Luoxia's brother died young, he knew nothing about the specific details and wanted to know more.
"Only fourteen years old, a little younger than you are now."
"Did you not learn martial arts when he died?"
"I was sixteen years old when he died. I had not been taken away by my master and had no contact with martial arts." Shen Luoxia glanced sideways at Zhao Zheng and asked, "I want to hear how I learned martial arts. Of?"
"Want to hear the details."
Shen Luoxia nodded, retracted her gaze, and looked further away. The endless mountains, the tree crowns with crisscross branches, and the howling desolate autumn wind all fell into her eyes. "The world has always favored boys over girls. , women cannot do farm work and cannot inherit family property, so they are naturally looked down upon. My family is no exception. After my parents gave birth to me, because they disliked the fact that I was a girl, they had a second child the next year, and another year passed. In the year, a boy was successfully born.”
"In the first few years after my brother was born, my parents were very happy and laughed from ear to ear every day. However, as my brother grew older, some diseases also appeared. Whenever he did strenuous activities, he would Chest tightness will appear. In addition, his development speed is slower than that of his peers, and he is much shorter than other children. After he reaches the age of ten, he will have more symptoms, and sometimes he will even faint suddenly. "
"Seeing that my brother was sick, the smiles on my parents' faces also decreased, and sometimes they would even take it out on me. On the day my brother died, my parents hugged each other and cried bitterly. I kindly stepped forward to persuade them. A few words, who would have thought that my mother was not only ungrateful, but also pointed at my nose and said, "I blame you, I blame you. It was you, the broom star, who killed your brother. You should have been the one who got sick and died." Yes, hurry up and get your brother back!' After hearing this, I was very sad and ran out of the house crying. I ran far and wide, all the way to the mountains, and I didn't stop until I was exhausted. "
Shen Luoxia mentioned the sad things in the past, her eyes flashed, as if those things happened yesterday, everything was still vivid in her mind, she paused, and then continued: "It was already dark by then, and I was so tired that I I was standing on a tree, because I felt wronged, so I kept holding my knees and crying. At that time, I kept hoping that my parents would catch up, but they didn't come. Instead, a stranger appeared in front of me. That person is my master - the flying goddess Yaksha Hua Xiangrong."
Hearing this name, Zhao Zheng was a little surprised. Although he had a certain understanding of Shen Luoxia, his understanding was very limited. He had not comprehensively checked Shen Luoxia's information before. This was his first time. It was learned that Shen Luoxia's master turned out to be the famous "Flying Girl Yaksha" Hua Xiangrong.
In the martial arts world, people have different paths. There is the right way and the evil way. But not everyone can make the distinction so clearly. There are still some people who are between the right way and the evil way. These people either don't care about worldly affairs, or they are obsessed with cultivation, or Acting as one pleases cannot be regarded as the right path, nor can it be regarded as the evil path.
The flying girl Yaksha Hua Xiangrong is a martial arts master who is between the right way and the evil way. She does things based on her own likes and dislikes, and does not care about right or wrong. Sometimes she will kill the strong and bully the weak, and sometimes she will kill the strong and bully the weak. He will help some people generously and is unpredictable.
For this kind of people, good and evil will generally not provoke them. Unless there is a conflict or conflict of interests between them, they will go to trouble this kind of people.
Zhao Zheng only met Hua Xiangrong twice in the game, and his impression was not particularly deep. Looking back now, Hua Xiangrong is a master of using Luo Yanbu and Lanhua's acupuncture points. No wonder Shen Luoxia is Hua Xiangrong's apprentice.
Shen Luoxia looked into the distance and continued: "You are not very experienced in the world, so you probably have never heard of her name. She was born in the Hua family of Wanhua Valley, a martial arts family. She has extremely high martial arts. As her apprentice, I even I don’t know what level of cultivation she has reached. The two famous skills of the Wanhuagu Hua family are Luo Yanbu and Lanhua Acupuncture. My master has worked hard on these two skills for many years, and later passed them on to me. .”
"Her martial arts skills are so high, why did she appear in front of you that day?" Zhao Zheng asked curiously.
"She was on her way that day and passed by the woods. She happened to see me crying, so she came over. There was no special reason. It was just fate that I met her. You meet me in this world, and I meet you. When it comes to you, how come there are so many reasons?"
"That's true."
"When she saw me crying so sadly, she asked me, 'Little baby, it's so late. Why are you crying here alone? Aren't you afraid that the wolf will come and pick you up?' My master has disheveled hair, unkempt appearance, and looks pretty good. It was scary. I was scared at the time, so I told everything about what happened to my family, not daring to hide anything. After hearing this, she became very angry, broke a big tree with one finger, grabbed me, and shouted, " You are a miserable person like me and are not favored by your parents. Since they don't like you, then just come with me. I will teach you martial arts and give you food to eat.' After saying this, she grabbed I left my hometown and stayed there for several years."
"What happened next? Where did you go with her?"
"When I was little, I cried all day long after she took her away. Whenever she saw me crying, she would scold me. I was afraid of her, and I didn't dare to cry when she scolded me. She took me a long way, and time After a while, I stopped crying. Then she began to take time out to teach me martial arts wherever I went. Over the years, she has taken me all over the country, covering half of the Great Yan Kingdom. In the past two years, I didn’t want to go home because I was afraid of Master and because I blamed my parents. But after two years, I missed my parents more and more and no longer blamed them. I bravely asked Master to go back to my parents. She was by her side, but... Master didn't agree, and she wouldn't let me leave her. I didn't understand it at the time, but I understand now that Master already regards me as his own daughter and is reluctant to let me leave."
Shen Luoxia couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that all the feasts in the world come to an end. No one can be together forever. If you want to be with some of them, you have to leave others. People's lives are in this separation and reunification." There will be laughter when we are reunited, and there will be tears when we are separated. After many years of wandering around the world, Master and I finally couldn't bear the longing for my family, so I secretly left Master and headed for my hometown alone. Halfway through, Master suddenly appeared, Stopped me. I thought Master would stop me, but I didn't expect Master to do so. She caught up with me and just wanted to say goodbye to me, and said, "The fate between you and me as master and disciple is over, you can go." "
"I was very sad when I heard Master say such words, but in the end I chose my parents between Master and my parents. I returned to my hometown alone and wanted to reunite with my parents, but it was a pity that fate played a trick on me and I returned After I left my hometown, I could no longer find my parents. After asking others, I found out that in the years since I left, a plague broke out in my hometown, and both my parents died in that plague. After I heard the news , like being struck by lightning, I almost collapsed. I lost my brother, my master, and my parents, leaving me alone."
"At that time, I was sad, desperate, empty, and helpless. I couldn't go back to find Master, and I had nowhere else to go. I was wandering in the world like a living dead. It was at that time that I met a man. I did many ridiculous things with him and became a romantic couple with him. In that helpless state, I desperately needed someone’s comfort. I didn’t really fall in love with that man at all. And he wasn’t a good person either. He was just a prodigal son. After both of us got tired of it, we got together and parted ways. After leaving him, I came here and opened this Hongchen Inn, waiting here for my true love to show up. This is how I learned martial arts and what I have experienced over the years." Shen Luoxia smiled bitterly after finishing speaking.
After listening to Shen Luoxia's story, Zhao Zheng thought to himself: "Everyone in this world has their own story, their own joys and sorrows. She is pitiful enough. If those things hadn't happened, she wouldn't have changed." You have to be as promiscuous as you are now and have sex with many men."
Shen Luoxia was a little disappointed because she didn't drink the wine. She turned to look at Zhao Zheng and asked: "Xiao Zhao, you have been begging for a living these years. You are lonely and have no relatives around you. What do you want... Don’t you want to have another relative?”
Zhao Zheng's heart skipped a beat. He had worked so hard to learn to play the flute. He had been waiting for this moment. He nodded immediately and said, "Of course I want to find my relatives."
"The world is so big, where can you find your relatives? If you don't mind it, I am willing to be your sister and accept you as my adopted brother. In this way, you and I will have relatives." Shen Luoxia said solemnly.
"Since the shopkeeper doesn't dislike me for being a beggar, how can I dislike the shopkeeper? I am happy to be your brother and call you sister." Zhao Zheng also said solemnly, the reason why he is willing to be Shen Luoxia's brother , part of the reason is to learn Luo Yanbu, but part of the reason is out of sincerity. He traveled here alone and hopes to have a relative.
"Okay! Since you are willing, we will be siblings from now on. It is better to choose a day than to hit the sun. Let's sworn sworn brothers now." Shen Luoxia did things very simply. She immediately grabbed Zhao Zheng's shoulders and led Zhao Zheng from the tree. Jump up and down, fall on the tree trunk in mid-air, repeat several times, and finally land.
Shen Luoxia let go of Zhao Zheng's hand, looked around, raised her hand and broke off three thin branches, inserted them into the land facing the north, and said: "I don't believe in ghosts and gods, and I don't worship any gods. Since ancient times, Buddha has been the largest in the north, southeast, northwest, and today we should worship the north. There is no incense here, so use these three branches instead."
"It all depends on...sister's arrangement." Zhao Zheng agreed.
Upon hearing that Zhao Zheng had changed his mind, Shen Luoxia was very happy, as if she had found a lost relative, with a heartfelt smile on her face. She took off the white porcelain wine bottle hanging from her waist, opened the lid, and Throwing it aside, she bit her finger and dripped blood into the wine pot. She shook the wine pot twice to let the blood droplets dissolve in the wine, then handed the wine pot to Zhao Zheng and ordered: "Learn Doing what I want is called a blood alliance. After we drink the blood wine, we will have each other's blood in our bodies, and we will be relatives from now on."
Zhao Zheng took the wine bottle, without saying a word, bit his finger and dripped his own blood into it.
Shen Luoxia nodded, took the wine bottle mixed with the blood of the two people, and put it aside temporarily. She knelt down on her knees facing the north with three branches stuck in it, completely ignoring the soil staining her coat and skirt. Zhao was talking to him They knelt down side by side, feeling suddenly overwhelmed.
"The two of us kowtow to the north together. I will say something later, and you will say something to me." Shen Luoxia ordered.
"Okay." Zhao Zheng responded.
"I am Shen Luoxia."
"I am Zhao Zheng."
"The two of us have recently become siblings with different surnames. We will share blessings and share hardships in the future. We don't want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but we hope to die in the same year, the same month and the same day!"
"The two of us have recently become siblings with different surnames. We will share blessings and share hardships in the future. We don't want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but we hope to die in the same year, the same month and the same day!"
"Emperor, Heaven, Empress, Earth, learn this from experience. Disloyalty and ungratefulness, both heaven and man will be killed!"
"Emperor, Heaven, Empress, Earth, learn this from experience. Disloyalty and ungratefulness, both heaven and man will be killed!"
After saying that, the two of them kowtowed to the north together. They kowtowed three times before getting up. Shen Luoxia grabbed the wine bottle next to her and took a big sip from mouth to mouth. She drank half the bottle in one sip. She wiped He wiped the wine that overflowed from the corner of his mouth and handed the jug to Zhao Zheng. Zhao Zheng took the jug and drank the rest of the wine in two sips. His stomach was churning and he felt a burning sensation.
Zhao Zheng put down the wine bottle and looked at his new sister.
"From now on, you are my brother. Come on, call me sister." Shen Luoxia ordered with a smile.
"Sister." Zhao Zheng said with a smile.
"It's not enough, call me again."
"elder sister."
"Scream again."
"elder sister."
"Scream again."
"Sister, sister, sister..." Zhao Zheng just kept shouting.
Shen Luoxia was amused and laughed heartily, her voice echoing in the forest. This smile was the happiest smile she had shown in several years.;
