Chapter 15 Section 15: The Tragedy of Houyi and Houren

In the Wuzheng Hall of Dafeng Castle, a clump of Huitang (a kind of vanilla) grows quietly in the corner. Although they lost the Poor Sea, although they lost the copper caravan, and even though they lost most of their goods, the Poor Caravan did not completely lose confidence.As long as Yizhisi is still there, there is still hope for everything, and everything is possible. Yi Zhisi's breathing gradually slowed down, as if he didn't notice that Yi Lingping walked into the Wuzheng Hall lightly.His son stared at him for a while, as if he wanted to say something, but finally lowered his head and retreated slowly towards the door.

Suddenly, a strange flash of color brightened Yi Lingping's eyes.On the top of Yi Zhisi's head, there is a group of brilliance that flickers on and off. "Could this be the Nine Heavens Pearl that Daddy said?" Yi Lingping suddenly thought of Shi Yan, her expectations, and her consideration for him.He touched the dagger in his arms. It was a treasure handed down from Yu Xia.Shi Yan insisted that he take it with him and keep it close to his body. "Be careful, I always feel that something bad will happen tonight." This was Shi Yan's advice when she was parting, recalling the caring look on her face when she said this, Yi Lingping would feel a little bit An indescribable warmth and pride.

"She said it was just to take a look." Yi Lingping hesitated for a while, and approached. When he looked at his father, his facial features were turned upside down, and his forehead was faintly bruised. He knew that it would take at least two hours to recover.He reached out his hand hesitantly, and carefully grasped the ball of brilliance.Suddenly all light disappeared, and the Hall of Wuzheng suddenly went dark. "Ugh--" Father's long sigh sounded like thunder and lightning in Yi Lingping's ears.In the dark, he couldn't see his father's face, he only felt that the sigh was full of sadness and disappointment.

"Why you? Why really you?" Watching the dragon-clawed vulture fluttering its wings vigorously, Yi Lingfu was a little tired.Big Snake approached affectionately and kissed his cheek.Yi Lingfu smiled at it trustingly, closed his eyes and fell asleep. "Why did you do this?" Yizhisi roared, "What did Xaro promise you, that it was worth betraying the caravan, family, and father and brother?!" Yi Lingping bit his lip tightly and trembled all over, not knowing whether it was nervousness, pain, or fear. "You have not only ruined your own character, you have also lost all the trust of your relatives, the respect and love of your clansmen, the respect of your friends and even the awe of your enemies! How can you tell me and your brother to trust you in the future? Let Cang How can the four elders, Hao, Min, and Shang, convince you? How can Youxin Bupo and Jiang Li think highly of you? Even Zara—the bandit who is supposed to be your enemy—doesn’t take you seriously at all! In his eyes, the bought enemies are not worth mentioning at all! What you lose is not the sea of ​​poverty, but your future, your future, and your qualifications as a man!"

Yi Lingping bit his lip tightly, shaking violently all over his body, not knowing whether it was nervousness, pain, or fear. "Oh my God! What crime did I Yizhisi do? I gave birth to you, an unworthy son! What face do I have to face the poor? What face do I face to the people? What face do I face to the ancestors?!" Yi Lingping bit his lip tightly, shaking strangely all over his body, not knowing whether it was nervousness, pain, or fear. "Why don't you learn well? If you have a tenth of your brother's, I..." "Enough!" Yi Lingping suddenly raised his head, his eyes shining with a light green light in the darkness.It's not surprising that Yizhi's eagle eyes will have various visions when he has practiced to a certain level.But Yi Lingping's eagle eye has never been perfected, and the fluctuation of this green light is the precursor of madness.But the light looked so strange in the dark, and Yi Zhisi suddenly felt that this youngest son, who had been shrinking all this time, was emitting an unbearable aura from him.

Yi Lingping shouted hoarsely: "I know I'm not good, I know I'm not good! I'm not as good as my brother, I've been not as good as him since I was a child! He tamed the most violent wind horse; the cruelest fox power in the wasteland (The pig-shaped monster in the picture has protrusions on the back of its feet), he was the one who shot it; the caravan’s greatest crisis was resolved by him! The clansmen dedicated the best Tibetan wine to him! King Wu rewarded him with the highest honor! The Arrow God taught him the strongest bow and arrow! Even the phantom beast, the dragon-claw vulture, who originally belonged only to you, got close to him! Even the gentlest and most beautiful woman in the Shang Kingdom loved him.

"He will always be the best, the strongest, the bravest, and the coolest. He is your best son, your proudest son! Even if he kills your mother! Even if he kills that businessman The gentlest, most beautiful woman in the country who loves him the most! Even if he kills his unborn children! He is still your best son, the most proud son, forever and ever!" Yi Lingping's voice suddenly dropped, but this tone made Yi Zhisi even more uncomfortable: "What about me? I am nothing, I have never been nothing! I am his younger brother? He is the sun and the moon in the sky, Forever to shine on others, to be held, loved, even sung! But I'm always huddled in a corner, not even a will-o'-the-wisp by the grave! People won't even forget me, because they never remember me! I Is he his brother? I am also your son like him? Although he is missing, you are still quietly building a new caravan for him, but I am still just an emissary in the caravan—maybe always an emissary. In In front of him, I'm not even as good as his follower! I don't even have the right to be jealous of him!"

The more Yi Lingping talked, the more excited he became, and his face gradually burst into tears.Yi Zhisi was stunned and stunned, as if absent-minded and depressed.The pained voice of the youngest son continued to be heard: "Since I am unworthy, why did you give birth to me? I also want to be like you, to be a warrior, an arrow hero, and a hero! But why can't I do it? I'm a slut! A little slug who only knows how to hide in the arms of the woman who gave birth to me every day. I'm not like him, the man who rides with you all day - the man I call him brother The man! The man who can cause a sensation wherever he goes! However, this man killed this woman! I hate him, and I hate you! I hate all the ghosts and gods! Why do you want us to be brothers? We're father and son! Why can't I just be that woman's son?"

Although Yizhisi has the ability of eagle eyes, he is already normal after being seriously injured. In the dark night, he couldn't even see the face of his son standing opposite him.Yi Zhisi could only listen with his ears, and then his ears buzzed, but the heart-wrenching words still passed into his ears word for word.Suddenly, Yi Lingping's voice became gentle: "Only she can comfort me, only she can make me happy, only she can make me forget all the pain in this world, even though she is just a prostitute!" Si suddenly trembled all over, and an ominous premonition flashed through his mind.

Yi Lingping expressed his feelings forgetting, as if he had forgotten everything around him, including the existence of his father, and said infatuatedly: "Only in Shi Yan can I find my own existence and find..." Hearing Shi Yan The woman's name, Yizhisi's tense nerves suddenly collapsed, and he almost moaned, trying to interrupt his son: "No! No! This woman, you, you can't..." "She used to be your woman, right?" Yi Lingping's voice was surprisingly calm, so calm that Yi Zhisi was terrified, "I know that. I also know that she is using me. Even she is lying I know that too. But when she tells me in bed that I am better than you, I don't care about anything! I want her, I need her, I need such a woman to lie to me! I need a relationship like this Come and lie to yourself!"

"Over the Wuzheng Hall, there seems to be no movement at all." Jiang Li said worriedly. "It's not that there's no movement, it's that we're too far away." Youxin Bupo said, "If it's as we guessed, Taihou wants to lure out the traitor, of course he has to create a perfect trap for him to use." "But he sent everyone far away. If there is a change, we will not even have time to rescue." "Now it seems that you are worried. Just now you were full of confidence in Taihou." "That's because it's been quiet for too long. Logically, if the traitor was really taken in, it should have appeared by now—you see, it's almost dawn." You Xin Bupo looked towards the east, there was not a single whitish place in the sky, everything was dark, even the moon was hidden, before dawn, it was darker than midnight.He turned his head, and faintly saw a clump of shimmering vanilla in Jiang Li's palm. "what is this?" "This is a twin-species cypress, alas, I don't know if I can give birth to it with my remaining skill..." The Wuzheng Hall was so dark that the father and son on the opposite side couldn't see each other. The two faced each other quietly.The son has finished speaking, but the father still does not know what to say.They were silent for less than a meal, and both of them felt that ten years had passed. Yi Zhisi wanted to find something to break the silence, but the more he thought about it, the more sad he became; Yi Lingping didn't dare to speak, and after a frenzied monologue, he calmed down and was left with only regret and fear.How long has it been since the father and son had a real heart-to-heart talk?Maybe never.It was the first time that Yi Zhisi realized that he didn't know his son so well, but in Yi Lingping's eyes, his father was always so unfathomable—unfathomable to the point of horror. The night became darker and darker, and Yi Lingping became more and more afraid.He suddenly remembered that when he was nine years old, he was in Bocheng (now Caoxian County, Shandong Province) drinking with a rich businessman's youngest daughter. His father saw him and slapped him until his left ear bleeds.Since then, he has planted the seeds of fear for the man who should be closest to him. The night became darker and darker, and Yi Lingping became more and more afraid.His weak will has been driven to the brink of collapse by fear.He suddenly heard Yi Zhisi take a deep breath - he remembered that whenever his father decided to attack the enemy, it was like this.His hand touched his chest unconsciously. Yi Lingfu hugged the silver ring snake, snoring slightly. Yi Zhisi showed a silent smile, and stretched out his hand, wanting to pat his son on the shoulder.Suddenly a cold light flashed, and there was a sharp pain in his heart and lungs. Yi Lingping screamed and ran away like a demon. The outstretched hand of Yi Zhisi stagnated in mid-air, and could never be retracted, just like the son who was fading away.Suddenly his eyes went dark, and he finally fell down. Yi Lingping fled unsteadily, not knowing how far he was running, where he was going, or even what he was running away from.The knife pierced in, and before even the blood spurted out, he had already escaped.Flee until the limbs are weak, and flee until the east turns white.Finally he knelt down, with his back to the sun, kneeling in a daze. how is fatherdo you died?Has your evil deed been exposed?How should I go in the future?Suddenly, he only felt that the world was vast, but he had no place to stand on. "Hey! Did you catch the murderer?" Yi Lingping was shocked by Youxin Bupo's slap. "Didn't you catch the murderer? That's okay. Forget it, we can always catch him in the future, so go back and have a look at Taihou first! I'm afraid he's going to die." He couldn't help but say, dragging Yi Lingping away.Yi Lingping, who came back to his senses, had all kinds of expressions on his face, but Youxin Bupo didn't see it. Yizhisi was not dead yet, the dagger was not pulled out, and the blood was no longer flowing. A huge flower bud was tightly pressed against his chest, heaving and falling instead of his heart.Yi ordered Fu to cry and fell at his feet.Jiang Li held his pulse with one hand, with a sad face.The crowd formed a half-moon shape and stood silently. Fear, remorse, resentment, and helplessness along the way, but when seeing his dying father, Yi Lingping suddenly lost all expression on his face, and all thoughts in his heart disappeared.He stood there blankly, like a puppet.Youxin Bupo said softly: "What are you still doing standing at the door?" With a light push, he fell to his father's feet. Yi Zhisi slowly opened his eyes and saw the two sons lying at his feet.He stretched out his hand with difficulty and stroked the forehead of his youngest son, and Yi Lingping suddenly raised his head like a deer in shock. Yi Zhisi grinned, Yi Lingping hadn't seen such a gentle smile for a long time.He calmed down slowly, and the tears flowed down slowly. "It's my fault, I, I never know, how, how to be a good father." After he said these words, a faint blush appeared on his face.Jiang Li knew that Yi Zhisi shouldn't be allowed to talk too much, as this would only hasten his death, but the little life he had left was nothing more valuable than a few words with his son. "You may think that you are not as good as your brother, but, in, in my heart, you will always be the same. Good, good boy, the one I care about the most all this time is actually you..." Yi Zhisi gasped, Unable to continue, Yi Lingping sobbed and hugged his father's feet tightly, wanting to die immediately. Yizhisi stretched out his other hand to the eldest son, but he couldn't reach out, and Yi ordered the Fu to grab it and hold it tightly.Looking at his son's eyes full of sadness, but the expression behind the tears was far better than his own back then, he knew what his youngest son said was right, this man was not only the bone in his bones, the blood in his blood, but also his forever pride. "I'm very happy to see you recovering. No matter what happens in the future, you can't fall down again. Promise me." Seeing Yi Lingfu nodding tearfully, he turned his gaze to Youxin Bupo again, but didn't speak. You Xin Bupo pointed at Yi Lingfu and said, "You want me to help him?" Yi Zhisi's eyes denied it. Youxin Bupo said again: "You want me to take care of the caravan?" Yi Zhisi's eyes smiled: "They are all my children. Help me bring you back to Youqiong. Let Lingfu help you." The elders were taken aback. Yi Zhisi said so, it was tantamount to passing the leadership of the caravan to Youxin Bupo. You Xin Bupo scratched his head, puzzled and said: "Brother Fu is also capable of this matter! And it's more suitable, isn't it?" Yi Zhisi didn't answer, but his eyes were full of anticipation. "Okay, okay, I promise you." Just after saying this, he suddenly jumped up and shouted, "I understand, you, do you know who I am?" Yi Zhisi laughed again, smiling It looks like an old fox who catches a young tiger.He turned his head to Jiang Li, then looked at Yi Lingping.Jiang Li said: "I know, I promise." Yizhisi closed his eyes in relief, and then opened them again. His door was piercing, shining with the last light of Yizhi's eagle eyes. His spirit and momentum seemed to return to the most prosperous state in an instant: "Do you remember?" Don't take revenge for me! Because the only person who can kill me is myself." In the astonishment of the crowd, Yi Zhisi quickly pressed the handle of the knife to his heart.The buds exploded, revealing a big blood-red rose.Eyes, but closed forever.
