"The fourth generation disciple Jingjie betrayed Xiaoyao Valley last night."
As soon as Wu Xiazi said these words, everyone was shocked.
Weiming thought of various consequences for today's matter, 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 so bad!
This is just...
However, this is reality.
In reality, there is no emphasis on equal exchange. There are many "this is just" things, and the heaviness behind them 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, all of them are not because of "
This is just "paying a price that they simply cannot afford."
To be honest, Jingjie and Weiming thought Xuan Mingzi too well.
…
At first, Jiji was really surprised when Xuan Mingzi suddenly appeared outside the door. What surprised him was not that Xuan Mingzi came to find him, but that Weiming, who was guarding the night, didn't notice him.
This is enough to show that either Weiming is half-hearted or asleep, or Weiming is held back by other things, or Xuan Mingzi's martial arts has broken through the fifth level, making Weiming unable to detect his
sneak into.
No matter what the situation is, you can't just act recklessly.
What Jingjie didn't expect was that Xuan Mingzi took the initiative to invite him out for a chat, so he agreed without thinking.
Because Jingji didn't want to disturb Wu Xiazi because of Xuan Mingzi.
Huang Xiaoshi said that the master is very old now and he must not 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 Wu Xiazi's favorite chess piece, which made him feel heartbroken every time he thought about it.
This time, if Master knows that Xuan Mingzi is here again, what if the old man gets angry?
So, Jingjie obediently followed Xuan Mingzi out of the valley with his sword. This was not because he was stupid, but because Jingjie believed that as long as Weiming was still awake, he would be able to sense him.
Xuan Mingzi thought he had lured the thorns out, and he was so proud of himself that he almost shot at the thorns when his hand slipped.
In fact, Jingjing was planning to take advantage of this dense forest that he was very familiar with. In addition, Wei Ming had the right time, place and people on his side. As long as they found the right time, the two of them would work together to bury Xuan Mingzi.
But the changes after that were beyond Jingji and Weiming's expectations.
Xuan Mingzi was actually telling Jingji about his life experience.
Even though Thorns' face looked calm, in fact his heart was full of storms and turbulent waves.
After that, Xuan Mingzi said a lot, and Jiajie didn't care anymore. He just wanted to know whether what Xuan Mingzi said was true or false.
However, even if there is a slim chance, Thorns still wants to give it a try. This is like a person who is about to drown, seeing a straw floating over, he will cling on to it.
Wei Ming, who has experienced searching for his parents for more than ten years, understands Jing Ji's mood very well at this moment, so he only symbolically stopped him and then let him go.
The reason why he didn't tell Wu Xiazi that he would go and inform Wu Xiazi was because he felt that this was still more or less the same thing.
If the master feels that this matter is inappropriate, just wait until dawn and then look for the thorns.
Killing the Dragon King is not like killing a chicken. It can't be that simple. Preparation, planning, checking and arranging in advance can't be done in ten days and a half.
Before taking action, if Jingjia discovers that he has been deceived by Xuan Mingzi, or if everyone discovers that Jingjia has been deceived by Xuan Mingzi, he can withdraw at any time.
Moreover, he could also use his backhand to trick Xuan Mingzi.
Anyway, for people like Xuan Mingzi, there is no need to talk about moral principles, and there is no need to worry about being scolded by him for being treacherous.
So no matter which way you look at this matter, Thorns will not suffer.
Unexpectedly, Wu Xiazi opened his mouth to recover Jingjing overnight, and then decided to label Jingjing as a "betrayer".
…
"Master, this is impossible!" Upon hearing this, Weiming took two steps forward and exclaimed to Wuxiazi.
"Senior Brother, please advise Master!" Weiming tugged on Gu Yuexuan's clothes and begged him: "Second Senior Brother just listened to Xuan Mingzi's rhetoric. He didn't do anything. How could he be betraying.
"
When Weiming said this, tears started to flow down his face.
Being a traitor is the biggest crime in the martial arts world. It can be said that this alone is enough to make anyone a public enemy in the martial arts world.
In comparison, everything about being expelled from the school is all tenderness.
Once Thornthorn is announced to have betrayed him, not only will his way back to Xiaoyao Valley be cut off, but he will also be completely destroyed.
Also, what about the younger junior sister? Does her father still agree to his daughter’s marriage to a traitor?
The name of a traitor can instantly drive thorns from heaven to hell.
Back then, wasn't this how my father was wrongly accused to death?
…
When Weiming heard Gu Yuexuan tell what happened to his parents, at that moment, Weiming's blood rushed to his head, and he 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, they are all fake, fake, fake!
You are all sworn enemies who killed my parents!!
However, the last remaining shred of reason allowed Weiming to maintain a clear mind in his heart. Then he followed Gu Yuexuan back to his hometown, venting all his anger by running hard along the way. Weiming finally had time to think about his parents' matters.
Already.
After thinking about it for a long time, Wei Ming finally figured it out. This matter is not to blame on Senior Brother, nor is it Gu Yunfei's fault.
The root of everything is the Wudang Clan.
Since Wudang wants to send an undercover agent, he must be completely trusted. How can he indiscriminately accuse his own disciples without listening to explanations?
What's more, the Wudang Clan openly declares that Dongfang Xi is a traitor to Wudang, and everyone will punish him. This matter is even more worthy of study.
Even if Dongfang Xi is a traitor, the Wudang Clan took the initiative to send him there. Is this worthy of bragging and publicity?
Moreover, after the Wudang Clan disclosed Dongfang Xi's identity as an undercover traitor, it not only prevented him from returning to the Central Plains martial arts world, 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 his father, his mother, or Gu Yunfei, they all fought for the beliefs in their hearts.
The biggest tragedy here is that none of them are wrong.
With the death of the older generation of the Wudang Sect, no one will ever know the truth about Dongfang Xi's mysterious case.
In fact, this incident was entirely due to the internal fighting among Wudang's own three religions.
If a simple undercover operation fails, there is no need to go to this level.
Dongfang Xi is actually a victim of Wudang's internal strife.
But no matter what, once you are labeled as a traitor, you will never be able to get rid of it unless you come forward to clarify it.
…
It is also because the appearance of a traitor in a sect is too important. In many cases, even if a betrayal actually occurs, the sect will not tell the public about it in order to worry about its own face.
It can also be said that this is because he was thinking about the incense and opened a way for his disciples to survive.
That Shaolin abandoned disciple Wujie, he has left Shaolin for so many years, but the Shaolin Temple still retains his monk status and has never said that he is a traitorous monk.
It is because of this that Wujie can feel at ease and practice black boxing in Luoyang. If one day he is desperate, he may even choose to return to the Shaolin Temple.
This is not only good for Wujie, but also good for the 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 Jingjie follows Xuan Mingzi out of the valley, even if Xuan Mingzi is a member of the Tianlong Sect, and even if there is some criticism in the world, he will not open his mouth to label Jingjie as a traitor.
Could it be that Master has become too old and too confused to know what he is talking about?
Thinking of this, Weiming turned to beg Gu Yuexuan.
The eldest brother and the second brother are brothers, and he is the head of Xiaoyao Valley, so he will definitely speak a fair word for the second brother.
Unexpectedly, after Gu Yuexuan heard Wu Xiazi's words, he said with difficulty: "Disciple, I obey."
When Gu Yuexuan said this, even Wang Rong was scared to tears, which meant that the matter had reached a point where there was no room for maneuver.
Gu Yuexuan was about to walk out of the house, but Wei Ming stepped forward and blocked him.
"Gu Yuexuan! Why are you doing this to Thorns!!" Weiming was angry at Gu Yuexuan for the first time in so many years.
"Weiming'er, Rong'er, come here." Wuxiazi waved to the two of them, and they took a few steps forward and knelt in front of Wuxiazi's bed.
"Of course I know what this kid Jingji is like." Wu Xiazi said after a long sigh, "But this matter is not about how we view him, but how the people in the Central Plains martial arts view him."
After Wu Xiazi said a few words, he felt his heart tightening and uncomfortable, and he nodded to Gu Yuexuan.
After Gu Yuexuan turned around, he took a deep breath and then said with difficulty to his two junior brothers and sisters: "The person who led people to attack the Tianshan Sect and massacred nearly a hundred disciples of the Tianshan Sect is Xuan Mingzi!"
When Weiming heard it, his mind buzzed.
He was very wrong.
…
During these years in Xiaoyao Valley, Weiming has always regarded this place as his home.
A generous elder brother, a cunning second brother, a kind father, and a well-behaved little sister are rare luxuries for Weiming, who has lost his family twice since childhood.
Huang Xiaoshi once jokingly said that Xiaoyao Valley is simply an orphanage.
This is not half true.
The three most painful things in life are "losing your father when you are young, losing your spouse in middle age, and losing your son when you are old".
When I was young and lonely, I lost not only my support, but also the kinship and sense of security in my heart that could never be replaced.
Orphans are pitiful enough, but there are people even more pitiful than orphans, and that is those orphans who don't even know who their parents are.
From childhood to adulthood, these children's minds are always filled with unanswered questions.
"Who are my parents?"
"What do they look like?"
"Are they dead or alive?"
"Why, why would they abandon me?"
Dongfang Weiming's long-cherished wish is not only to learn martial arts and become a great hero, but also to find his biological parents.
This desire is even stronger than learning martial arts and becoming a hero, otherwise he would not have tied up countless yellow silk scarves on his arms for more than ten years.
As time went by, Weiming also understood that the hope of finding his biological parents was getting slimmer. Coupled with the fact that he integrated into Xiaoyao Valley and regained the feeling of home, he gradually let go of this obsession in his heart.
However, when Gu Yuexuan told Weiming about his parents, at that moment, Weiming became furious and devastated.
If Weiming hadn't followed Gu Yuexuan for a long run afterwards, giving Weiming enough time to calm down, no one can tell what would have happened.
…
From the bottom of his heart, Weiming has always liked this second senior brother who often quarrels with him and bullies him on the pretext of practicing martial arts.
It's not that Weiming likes to be bullied, or that Weiming doesn't think the gentle elder brother is better, but Weiming feels that Jiajie and himself are similar, and they can be said to share the same fate.
Growing up, Gu Yuexuan liked to tell stories to Jingjie. A small part of the stories he told were the legend of Xiao Xiami, and more of them were stories about his father, Gu Yunfei, a hero from Liaodong.
Whenever this happens, Gu Yuexuan's eyes are filled with light. This is the father he admires most.
At first, Jingjia also liked listening to Gu Yunfei's stories, but then he became more and more irritable.
Because Thorns doesn't have a father at all, he can't even imagine the image of a father in his mind.
Gu Yuexuan was sharing his father's story with Jingjie, but to Jingjie, this was just a way of showing off.
Gu Yuexuan became sensible very early, but he still didn't understand why this younger brother suddenly stopped liking listening to stories, and why he became increasingly difficult to get along with.
…
Although all four male disciples in the Xiaoyao Valley Orphanage are orphans, their situations are completely different.
Huang Xiaoshi is a pseudo-orphan, he has the least ideological baggage.
Gu Yuexuan lost his parents when he was young, but he still enjoyed the love of his father and mother for several years despite being ignorant. What his father and mother left to him was the most glorious image in his life.
It is also because of his father's brilliance that Gu Yuexuan is so precocious and must learn from his father in everything he does. This is a kind of positive reinforcement that comes from faith.
In fact, Gu Yuexuan has long surpassed his father, whether it is martial arts, reputation or status in the world, but he still regards his father as a role model that he always needs to learn from.
Although Dongfang Weiming has never met his parents, he grew up in the home of his adoptive parents and did not lack love when he was a child. Regarding the image of his parents, Dongfang Weiming at least still has the yellow silk scarf with his name written on it.
Whenever Weiming misses his parents, he will take out a yellow silk scarf, stretch out a finger and copy the four words "Dongfang Weiming" repeatedly.
My mother must be very beautiful. Because everyone marveled that the word was written so gracefully, she must be the daughter of a wealthy family.
My mother is a eldest lady, so my father is also a great person.
Although his parents only gave Weiming a name, they still gave him a glorious image.
As for Thorns, there is nothing in his mind, it is empty.
Ever since he was a child, Jingjing has only had a jade pendant with him.
This red jade pendant is amorphous and non-crystalline. It has an opening underneath and is hollow inside, but its texture is very good and it won’t break no matter how you drop it. It looks quite valuable.
But what's the use!
Can Jade Pendant tell him his last name?
Speaking of which, the thorns are worse than the unknown.
Wei Ming at least knew that his name was "Dongfang Wei Ming", which was the name given to him by his parents.
As for Thorns, his name was given to him by Gu Yuexuan, because Gu Yuexuan picked him up among the thorns.
Thorns doesn't even know his last name. It's like a person who only has a soul but no roots.
…
For so many years, the reason why Thorns has not cared about his origin at all is because he doesn't care?
No.
It's useless even if he cares.
Even Thorns always wears the jade around his neck and it is exposed all the time, so what.
You're an outcast who doesn't even know your last name...
Today, someone suddenly told Jiji about his life experience, his father, his mother, and his sister, they are all still alive.
At this moment, Thorny Thorns could no longer control his thoughts. Even if he could no longer recognize each other, Thorny Thorns wanted to know what they looked like, whether they were living well, and had they ever missed him?
Not to mention that Xuan Mingzi wanted to lead him to kill the Dragon King, he just said that he wanted to kill the emperor. Jingjia also picked up the knife and left without saying a word.
It was precisely because of this that Wei Ming did not forcefully stop the thorns from leaving, because Wei Ming felt the same thing.
More importantly, neither Thorny nor Weiming thought that this matter would be so serious.
If you have to blame for what happened now, you can only blame Jianjia for not being able to firm up your mind and resist Xuan Mingzi's sweet words.
If you want to blame, you can only blame Weiming for not making up his mind to prevent the thorns from leaving.
If you want to blame, you can only blame Wu Xiazi and Gu Yuexuan for not sharing some key information with others in time, so that Jingjing fell into the trap of others because of the poor information.
…
At this time, Weiming hated himself so much that he gritted his teeth.
If I had known it earlier, I couldn't let the thorns go away even if I risked my life last night.
In fact, Xuan Mingzi never does things without aim, and Jingjia and Dongfang Weiming are both on Xuan Mingzi's abduction list.
The script has been repeated so many times. Sometimes, Xuan Mingzi tricked the thorns away, sometimes, Xuan Mingzi kidnapped Wei Ming, and more often, Xuan Mingzi killed two birds with one stone and deceived both of them.
Gone.
Because this is a temptation that no confused orphan can refuse: his own life experience.
Fortunately, this time Gu Yuexuan had already resolved the knot in Weiming's heart in advance, but when he heard that he had killed the Dragon King to avenge his parents, Weiming was still heartbroken.
Otherwise, if Xuan Mingzi took Weiming to his parents' graves, and then took the opportunity to say some carefully prepared words beside him.
Looking at the unmarked graves of his father and mother, which were overgrown with weeds, and the regular tombs of Gu Yunfei and his wife not far away, I might have exploded my mind and just leveled Gu Yunfei's tomb, and then blackened it to the ground.
.
Don't criticize others if they don't have their affairs; don't tell others to be good if they haven't suffered.
Who would have thought that the life experiences of the three orphans in Xiaoyao Valley would be so complicated that even a sentence of love, hate, and hatred is not enough to summarize them.
…
After figuring out the cause and effect, he felt a great hatred in his heart. He thought he had saved the thorns last night, but he never imagined that it actually harmed him.
The dangers of the world and the viciousness of people's hearts were brought to the extreme by Xuan Mingzi.
"Master, Senior Brother! Give me more time, give me three more days, and I will definitely find Second Senior Brother!!"
Weiming knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Wu Xiazi with a cry in his voice.
After a while, Wu Xiazi waved his hand feebly, shed a tear, stood up, and rushed out of the house.
This is an important plot point. It took one day to write and two days to revise, so I felt a bit shortchanged.
