Chapter 26 Section VII

"Tang Xiaoxie, you are only nineteen years old this year." Xue Huadan said quietly, "No matter how smart you are, you would never have imagined how chaotic the world is and how sinister the human heart will be. At that time, I was as naive as you when I was in my boudoir. Well, it should be said that you are more naive than you. Because you have experienced the rivers and lakes to some extent. As for me, I am the eldest lady of the Xue family in Jiannan. I am taught by the three obediences and four virtues freely. Where can I go to understand the morals of the world? My parents betrothed me to the No. I dare not reveal anything on the Internet, I am so happy in my heart. You know that although I am from a famous martial arts family, I have never learned any martial arts because of my infirmity since I was a child. How can I be worthy of him? Until I got married, I still I was dreaming. On the wedding night in the bridal chamber, I didn’t even see the bridegroom’s face. I stayed there until the lights went out, and it was dawn. He came back. Seeing him staggering, his eyes were red, I only thought he I was drunk. But, but, I lit the lamp and served tea, but he knocked it over. I saw that he was still holding a sword in his hand. There was no smell of alcohol on his body, only... Bloody. I was paralyzed on the floor. He was laughing like crazy, and he swung his sword. I blocked it with my arm, and that was the first scar."

Xiao Xie couldn't help pinching his arm when he heard this. "At that time, there was only one name he was chanting and cursing, and that was Jiang Feng. I thought to myself, that must be his big enemy. I asked the people secretly, but they said that Jiang Feng was a good friend of Mr. Lu, and he was also a good friend of Mr. Lu. One of the famous swords of Yuantian Pavilion. I don't understand this, and I dare not ask more. For a whole month, Lu Xipan has never entered my room again. I don't know that being a bride, there is such a thing But I met him once or twice by chance, and he looked at me like I had a deep hatred with him. I thought, he should never come to me. Later, after about three That month, that Jiang Feng finally came to the door. I peeked at him through the screen, but he was a handsome young man, on par with Lu Xipan. Lu Xipan refused to see him at first and shut himself in the room. That Jiang Feng stood outside the door and said a lot of things. Hmph, I don't understand what it means. Then Lu Xipan finally opened the door and pulled Jiang Feng in. The two of them chattered inside for a whole night They didn't even turn off the lights. When it was dawn, they pushed the door and came out, with such an intimate look, as if they hadn't seen each other for many years. At that time, I thought, it turns out that Mr. Lu is not such a ruthless person. He If you treat me half as you treat Jiang Feng, I won't complain. But the so-called 'friends are like siblings, wives are like clothes', what dare I say. Isn't it, Mr. Mo?"

Xiao Xie couldn't understand what he heard, but Mo Xunwu blushed and couldn't say a word. "Mr. Mo is an old man of Yuantian Pavilion. I have seen these things with my own eyes. He should be more clear than Ouyang Mijian, the current pavilion owner." Xue Huadan smiled slightly, "It's just that I still don't understand, Mr. Mo. It is said that when Ouyang Mijian was a child, he was as close as Lu Xi and Pan Jiangfeng, did he—was involved in it too?" "Presumptuous!" Mo Xunwu shouted sharply. Xiao Xie saw that his veins were bulging, and quickly pressed his sword and said, "Let Sister Xue finish."

Xue Huadan sneered, but then turned to Mo Xunwu: "Can I say it in front of Miss Tang? She is a girl, and your pavilion master actually let her intervene in this kind of thing." Mo Xunwu hesitated, and said: "Then, don't talk about it. You hand over Jiang Feng, and let's put other things aside." "No. I won't let them go." Xue Huadan said coldly. There was another harsh silence.There was only the sound of running water, clang and gurgling, which disturbed people. After a while, it was Xiao Xie who spoke first: "Mr. Mo, my cousin said that this matter is for me to decide. Sister Xue, tell me everything. Otherwise, I really have no other choice."

Xue Huadan asked: "Do you really want to listen?" "Ok." "This is a huge scandal in Yuantian Pavilion. After listening, you are not afraid of losing your life because of it?" Xue Huadan sneered slightly. Mo Xun Wudao: "Pavilion Master Ouyang trusts Miss Tang so much, how could there be any murders to silence her, don't provoke dissension!" Tang Xiaoxie couldn't help trembling when he heard the words "kill people and silence them". "Okay!" Xue Huadan said, "Xiao Xie, listen, this matter is actually very simple. As I said, Mr. Lu is not a cruel and ruthless person, but it is a pity that before me, he already had another pet. That person It's Jiang Feng."

Tang Xiaoxie was stunned for a moment, but still didn't understand.She turned her head to look at Mo Xunwu, the veins on her neck were exposed one by one.Xiao Xie suddenly understood, and couldn't help blushing, but still said: "No way, how is this possible?" "It's too much to say that!" Mo Xunwu said in a deep voice, "Jiang Feng and Lu Xipan have been friends since they were young. They learned martial arts together, and went through life and death together for Yuantian Pavilion. It's human nature to have a close relationship." "Human nature?" Xue Huadan laughed out loud, "Don't deceive yourself. I can see clearly what they have done. Miss Tang is still here, don't let me say it. Could it be——is this what you guys have done? The 'common feelings' of those young heroes in Tiange?"

Mo Xunwu was speechless. "If I'm not wrong, it was Jiang Feng's idea to get Lu Xipan married in the first place, right? — Otherwise, how could Lu Xipan have such a big resentment?" Mo Xunwu nodded: "Jiang Feng is the only son of Jiang Siyuan, the former chief manager, and he has won the favor of the old pavilion master. The pavilion master knew about him and Lu Xipan and warned him. Jiang Feng offered such a plan." "Humph, good friend!" Xue Huadan sneered, "Yuantian Pavilion is really shrewd too. He clearly knows that whoever marries a master like Lu Xipan will be finished. After making a fuss, the Yuantian Pavilion was still demolished. After some inquiries, it turns out that there is another girl from the Xue family in Jiannan who has never learned martial arts. Well, it can be a distraction for Lu Xipan, secondly, it can deceive others, thirdly, it can also flatter Jiannan Xue's family, and expand the power of Yuantian Pavilion. It really kills three birds with one stone!"

Mo Xunwu shook his head and said: "We always thought that Mr. Lu and Jiang Feng were just young people who were confused for a while. When he married a famous lady, he would stop messing around, so..." "But what about after he married me?" Xue Huadan said, "The two of them hang out together every day and treat me as if I don't exist. I know that your Yuantian Pavilion is powerful and your natal family is far away, so I have to accept my fate. Just think of getting married as a monk. Those disgusting things are out of sight and out of mind." "Mrs. Xue's words are wrong." Mo Xun Wudao said, "The pavilion master didn't ignore you. That year, the pavilion master arranged for you and your wife to visit relatives in Yunnan. Jiang Feng was sent far away to Yuyang .”

"If you don't have this, it's fine." Xue Huadan sighed, "When Jiang Feng left, Lu Xipan knew it well, and I became his punching bag, tortured by him every night. How did my injuries fall? Until now, whenever it rains, my knees are still trembling. At that time, he forced me to kneel next to his pillow all night. Until I stayed at home in Yunnan, I thought, I should have a bright future. As long as As soon as I told my mother, my father would definitely argue with Yuan Tiange. Unexpectedly, at this time, I was pregnant with his child. "Lu Xipan sneered at me at that time. He said that as long as I dared to reveal a little bit to my family, he would kill the child in my womb. When he said that, it was as if the child was not his flesh and blood. I was intimidated by him, so I really didn't dare to say it. I stayed in Yunnan for half a month, and I hesitated every day. In the end, I finally didn't say it. It was really stupid at that time.

"After coming back, Lu Xipan and Jiang Feng had another quarrel, probably for the sake of visiting relatives. Jiang Feng said that he would never come to the door again. This time Lu Xipan was very angry. I was tortured by him and had a miscarriage. "There was a lot of blood—almost all the blood in my body. I was desperate, thinking that I was destined to fall into the clutches of this man, to be humiliated by this man, and to be here. Rather than linger on This life was too early. At that time, I only had one thought in my heart, I became a ghost, and I would never let Lu Xipan and Jiang Feng go!"

In the palm of Xiao Xie's hand, there was a handful of cold sweat. "Lu Xipan locked me in the house without calling a doctor or taking any medicine. I thought I was going to die. At this moment, a Taoist nun came to my door and said that she would treat my illness without taking any money. Lucy and Pan did not allow it. I listened curiously, and leaned on the window sill to look at the Taoist nun who looked familiar. I couldn't remember it for a while, so I got angry with Lu Xipan and insisted on that Taoist to come in. Lu Xipan couldn't resist me. I don’t care about it. As soon as the Taoist closed the door, she called my junior sister. When I heard this call, I had a flash of inspiration. Only then did I remember that I am also from Exian.” A strange light appeared on Xue Huadan's face: "Ouyang Xuan only said that he found a submissive and weak woman to be buried with Lu Xipan. Even I thought that this was the only way I could do this in my life. The senior sister said, Hua Dan Why don't I believe in myself? Is it true that women are bullied like this? In vain, Master found me and tried his best to teach me spells. Only then did I know that the girl who ran to my door to make me a monk Man, that was my master later. When I was thirteen years old, I met my master when I was outing on Cangshan Mountain. I was persuaded by her, and secretly entered the Immortal E, and learned magic for several years. I always thought it was just a coincidence. At this time, my senior sister Tell me, in fact, Master is waiting for Miss Xue family on Cangshan Mountain every year. She has seen me since she was a child, and she knew that my fate was doomed, and she couldn't bear to ignore it. Master is very kind and virtuous, and taught me spells to ward off disasters. Unexpectedly But I belittled myself, and I have not let down the painstaking efforts of the master. The senior sister enlightened me carefully, and left me a small bag of flower seeds before leaving, saying that Hua Dan, the future is up to you. I saw that it turned out to be in the middle of the Tao Holy flower blood baby." "Then you attacked Mr. Lu?" Mo Xun Wu asked. "How can it be so fast." Xue Huadan said coldly. Xiao Xie's heart tightened, it turned out that Lu Xipan died in the hands of Xue Huadan. "Blood babies need to absorb the flesh and blood of fresh corpses to grow," Xue Huadan said, "I buried the flower seeds and the aborted fetus together. It was a baby boy that had already formed, seven or eight months old. Sure enough, it was growing well. In the autumn of the second year, there were more than a dozen flower buds. At that time, Lu Xipan and Jiang Feng were separated and reunited, and they didn't care about me. In his eyes, Xue Huadan was no different from a dead person. I did it quietly. After finishing the incense slices, taking advantage of Lu Xipan's unpreparedness, the incense fascinated him. Then I set up a flower bed and painted shadow graphics. The ceremony only takes an hour. I parked his body under the flowers, and erected a paper screen on the south side of the flower bed. There is a small photo of him on the screen. When the mantra is finished, the blood baby flower will turn into blood. At this time, Lu Xipan’s soul is stored on the screen and becomes the puppet of Exian. Then I put his The body was washed and dried, and left in the bedroom. Everything was done quietly, and no one knew." "As far as I know, the blood baby flower is not highly poisonous?" Mo Xunwu asked. "The blood baby flower is used in the illusion of Exian Dao, but its poison itself is not as good as ordinary medicinal herbs." "No," Mo Xunwu frowned and pondered, "That year when I went to Lu's family for a funeral, I quietly opened the coffin to examine Lu Xipan's body, and saw him..." Mo Xunwu didn't continue, but stared at Xue Huadan with sharp and miserable eyes. "—he was mutilated into thousands of pieces, right?" Xue Huadan said, "Mr. Mo opened the coffin, and only saw a pile of pieces of meat?" Although it was a personal meeting, Tang Xiaoxie couldn't help shivering, not daring to look at Xue Huadan. Xue Huadan shook his head: "You always thought that Lu Xipan died in my hands, so you have been investigating me all these years, right? Huh, at that time, Lu Xipan's soul was in my hands and it had become my Puppet. I want to ruin him, burn or tear it up, just destroy this painting with a soul, why bother to poison it! In fact, I deliberately kept his house, maybe He will dispel the spell in the future. As long as the house is not damaged, it can still return to the sun." "Huanyang?" Xiao Xie said anxiously, "Why didn't you kill Lu Xipan at that time?" "Xiao Xie, do you think that if it were you, you would have to kill Lu Xipan immediately to relieve the hatred in your heart?" Tang Xiaoxie was dumbfounded. "Because I want this puppet to fulfill a wish for me - to kill Jiang Feng." "Jiang Feng?" "That's right. The person I hate the most is not Lu Xipan, but Jiang Feng. In contrast, Lu Xipan is a poor man, betrayed by him and manipulated by him. He has a good relationship with Lu Xipan, but he refuses to admit it I don’t know what Ouyang Xuan promised him, but he planned to break up with Lu Xipan. Even if it’s just ordinary friends in need, it’s not so unfeeling. Not to mention the breakup, but to be innocent to the end, which single-handedly made me and Lu Xipan This is not what a despicable villain is. Ha, if he really gets rid of it from now on, it would be a good thing to make Lu Xipan lose his mind. Unfortunately, the ties are broken again. A few days after marriage , although Lu Xipan was drunk and beating and scolding, he was still stubborn. If he broke it, he would stop it. But he couldn't help himself, and ran to Lu Xipan to speak softly, saying, "Lu Xipan, let's start again." '. In fact, all kinds of misfortunes after my marriage were caused by him. I can't spare him. I ordered Lu Xipan to kill Jiang Feng. Lu Xipan was unwilling. The puppet couldn't help himself, and it would be better than death Still uncomfortable. "After Lu Xipan got married, he lived in seclusion for the convenience of communicating with Jiang Feng. In this way, no one knew about the fact that he was captured by me for a while. The many servants in the family were dismissed, and only A few confidantes. After everything was ready, I posted Lu Xipan's post and invited Jiang Feng to a dinner at home to taste the new wine. Jiang Feng came at night, and the servant said that Lu Xipan would come out in a while, so he drank in the living room Tea, no suspicion at all. The portrait is on the wall of the living room, I hid behind the screen, I was so nervous. Seeing that Jiang Feng had half a cup of tea, I gritted my teeth and recited a spell, ordering Lu Xipan's puppet to attack Jiang Feng. "Sure enough, Lu Xipan stepped down from the painting, held his long sword, and slashed at Jiang Feng in a non-aggressive manner. I guess he also had resentment towards Jiang Feng in his heart. Jiang Feng repeated, but He had played enough. I painted my eyes with blood baby flower stem juice, and I could see clearly. But Jiang Feng was kept in the dark, he couldn't see anything, he just heard the sound of the golden blade piercing the wind from out of nowhere, I couldn't dodge, and my left arm was cut, bleeding drippingly. Lu Xipan's skill is such that he missed a single hit. It must be an imminent situation, and he was merciful. I was very angry in my heart, and I expected that the fierce battle tonight would be It was unavoidable. Jiang Feng was startled, jumped up from the chair, looked left and right, but didn't know where his opponent was. However, it was the famous sword of Yuantian Pavilion. Something like that. I immediately chanted a spell to prevent Lu Xipan from speaking, so I could only intensify my sword moves and quickly finish Jiang Feng for me. "However, since there was the first round, how could Jiang Feng get caught easily again? He retreated step by step, and Lu Xipan's every move was dodged by him, and his clothes were torn to pieces by the sword, but he just didn't One move is fatal. At first I thought, Jiang Feng's hearing is the best in the world. Although he can't see Lu Xipan's puppet, he can tell Lu Xipan's coming direction just by listening to the wind. No wonder he has been struggling for so long. But after looking at it for a while, I found that this is not the case. I don't know martial arts, and I have seen Lu Xipan practice swords all the time in the past few years. Lu Xipan's sword technique is called "Thousand Mountains and Twilight Snow", and his shots are as soothing as falling flowers, dense Ruo Feixue. Every move is not sharp, but it is ever-changing, and it is easy to avoid. But Lu Xipan did not pay attention to the enemy's retreat at this time. Shan Muxue', according to the usual procedure, he performed one move after another, and Jiang Feng seemed to be used to the practice, avoiding step by step. It was like acting. Now I understand, this puppet is not He was willing to take Jiang Feng's life, but he wanted to reveal his identity. If Jiang Feng understood, wouldn't the two of them need to fight anymore? I was shocked and angry at the same time. However, Jiang Feng certainly knows Lu Xipan's sword skills better than I do I understand better. There are 108 moves in this series of "Thousand Mountains and Muxue". In fact, every move has a way to break it. Since he can dodge them one by one, why hasn't he figured out who is demanding his life? What was Jiang Feng's idea in mind? "At that time, I suddenly remembered something, something that I had neglected for a long time. Every time Jiang Feng came, he would not be locked in the room by Lu Xipan to do that shameful thing. So I didn't I don't care. Once they went out afterwards and forgot to lock the door. One of my girls went in to find something, and came back and whispered to me that the floor in the room was full of blood. I didn't believe it, and I didn't hear any knife or gun. I saw Lu at night. Xipan didn't have any scars on his body, and he didn't care about it at the time. I still remember one time, Jiang Feng was about to say goodbye, but he turned around and said with red eyes: "I was sorry for you in the past. How did you torture me? No complaints.'” "Now that I think about it, since Lu Xipan could be violent to me, why didn't he treat Jiang Feng in the same way? Jiang Feng was so eager to get rid of him, I'm afraid he couldn't bear his abuse? Thinking of this, I feel relieved and scared. The two of them just kept going around in circles in the room. I was really impatient to wait, but I don't know what Jiang Feng was thinking at the moment. Could it be that they played like this before, cutting one and hiding the other, endlessly? "At this moment Jiang Feng paused, and suddenly yelled: 'Lu Xipan, come out!' I secretly smiled bitterly. Lu Xipan's puppet could not answer, but chased Jiang Feng and slashed down with another sword. It was so fast and ruthless that Jiang Feng couldn't dodge it. I just felt the glow pass by in front of me, and a pale hand flew out as soon as the red glow flashed, and landed on the foot where I was hiding. I let out a scream Swallowing it down, looking up, Jiang Feng stood there blankly, one sleeve dyed red, dripping to the ground bit by bit. "His eyes can't see anything, but there is clearly hatred in it, the kind of hatred that retreats to a desperate situation and only wants to die together. Lu Xipan seems to be frightened, but he is bewitched and can't stop . "I saw the palm at my feet. It was a left hand with thin and white fingers. At this moment, I suddenly felt sympathetic to that young man, as if he was in the same boat. I thought it would be better to give Jiang Feng a chance. There was a big one in the room. The censer, lit with ordinary sandalwood, was extinguished. I let the cat out, threw the censer down, and the incense ash scattered all over the floor. Now, every time Lu Xipan's puppet moved, footprints fell on the incense ash It can be clearly seen. When Jiang Feng saw it, he immediately drew out his sword, chased after the footprints and slashed at them. "The light is very bright. Jiang Feng waved his saber, half-bowed, chasing after the footprints, and went straight to Lu Xipan's lower body. One move was as fast as the other, and it was like mowing grass. His face was illuminated by the lamp , blue, only a pair of big eyes, blood red, I think, he also collapsed." Mo Xunwu said sadly: "Jiang Feng's parting sword and Lu Xipan's Qianshan Muxue are both extremely superb swordsmanship. It is said that Lu Xipan is slightly better, not to mention that Jiang Feng can't see it after all." "Although Jiang Feng can't see it, he is smarter." Xue Huadan sneered. "He turned around a few times, and suddenly threw a large candle on the ground. The room was covered with incense ash. In the overturned incense burner, there were still some incense flakes scattered on the ground, and they were all lit at this time. , After a while, the billowing smoke filled the living room. I was so choked that he lost his hand. It took a while to realize that Lu Xipan's whole body was exposed to Jiang Feng's vision. This time, He must put Lu Xipan to death. Now I regret it, I really shouldn't remind him with incense ash. I don't intend to lose my puppet so soon. So I immediately recited the curse and quickly put Lu Xipan away. Xipan took back the painting. Jiang Feng suddenly couldn't find his opponent, full of suspicion, and wandered around the room. "I didn't dare to come out at this time. I just hid behind the screen and watched. After this strange and fierce battle, I thought Jiang Feng was crazy. If he saw me, he would definitely not let me go. There is no one else at home. At this time Jiang Feng's eyes turned red, and he searched desperately in the house, opened windows and doors, split tables and chairs, and yelled: "Lu Xipan, come out for me, we will make a deal tonight—a lifetime of love." Stop it!' The matter was beyond my plan. I was just worried that he would find out the clues, but there was nothing he could do. Sure enough, he rushed to the bedroom after a while, and then screamed. Lu Xipan lost his soul body, that is, The house, just parked there. I almost fainted. "'I knew it was you, I knew it was you!' I heard him yelling frantically, 'I knew it was your trick. You would rather die than let me go.' "I don't know what he wants to do. He secretly followed under the window and found that there was blood all over the place, soaking the phoenix-tailed tent. Lu Xipan's body was put on the bed and he stripped off his clothes. Jiang Feng knelt there and used his Saber, slashing at the corpse one after another. His face was reflected in the lamp, pale and distorted. The light of the sword flickered, and the corpse was bleeding profusely. I thought badly, Lu Xipan was completely gone Saved. Jiang Feng was still slashing like crazy, saying: "I will treat you as you do to me." "I covered my eyes and couldn't bear to look any more. I hid under the window and didn't dare to vent my breath. After a long time, there was no movement inside, only faint breathing. I mustered up the courage to take another look. The corpse on the bed—if that is still called a corpse , has turned into a pile of minced meat, I can't tell what to describe. Somehow, looking at Lu Xipan like this, I suddenly feel a sense of relief. "Jiang Feng had a strange face. He inserted his bloody severed wrist into the pile of broken meat until it reached his elbow, as if he wanted to absorb the flesh and blood inside. After a while, he suddenly plunged into the broken meat, smeared it hard, and then It was like crying and laughing. I only heard him muttering: 'So we can't let each other go.'” Tang Xiaoxie's face paled upon hearing this.However, Mo Xunwu was unable to get through the bluish green and red blushes. Xue Huadan stopped for a while, his eyes widened, as if he was caught in the horrible memories of that year and couldn't extricate himself.After a long time, she sighed: "Later, I went back to the living room and stared at Lu Xipan's photo in a daze. For the first time, I felt that his eyes were so pitiful that he seemed to be about to cry. I thought Jiang Feng would commit suicide. But when I returned to the bedroom, he was no longer there, and I didn’t know when he left. I had to pack the pile of minced meat together with the tent and bedding, put them in a coffin and nail them up, and then give Lu Xipan a funeral, trying to make all the arrangements It's appropriate, we can't let Yuantian Pavilion see the problem. However, Mr. Mo is really amazing, and he still found the disfigured corpse that was trampled by Jiang Feng." Mo Xun Wudao: "After that, Jiang Feng disappeared. Because the old pavilion master had just passed away at that time, and the Yuantian Pavilion was full of internal turmoil. The matter was put on hold. Later, the new pavilion master brought it up to me again. Everyone It is guessed that Madam caught him. Now it seems that he fled in fear of crime, thinking that Lu Xipan died under his sword. " "Isn't it?" Xue Huadan said, "I took Lu Xipan's soul, not to kill him. But Jiang Feng destroyed his house, so he won't be a puppet forever. Later, I lived in seclusion in Banzhu Mountain, thinking that taking Lu Xipan's puppet had no choice. He told me in a dream one day that he wanted me to take Jiang Feng's soul. I said I was too lazy to bother him and ignored him. He pestered me and said, don't I hate Jiang Feng? I think so. I was looking for Jiang Feng to take revenge, but I couldn't find him. Lu Xipan's soul volunteered, saying that he was going to lure Jiang Feng here. I didn't believe it at first. There is no affection at all. In the end, he was really hooked. "Jiang Feng wanted to live. He always wanted to live a good life. But Lu Xipan held his heart, and he couldn't let go of entanglement and torture for life and death. In those years, he was living in the rivers and lakes, doing nothing, getting drunk all the time to drown his worries , wanting to forget the past. He has been insane, and Lu Xipan's puppet whispered nice words in his ear, and he became a demon again, and followed Lu Xipan until Banzhushan. I saw When I got to him, I found that he was always staggering when he walked, his hands were always shaking, and he couldn't even hold a sword. I'm afraid he couldn't kill even a weak woman like me. He drank too much, Yuan Tiange He is one of the famous swords in the world. How can you tell him to go back to see Ouyang Mijian when he has fallen to such an extent? I didn’t use drugs to charm him, just give him a little wine every day, and he is like a dead person. Sometimes I Think, such a useless person, what should I do by taking his soul!" Xue Huadan was sour and sarcastic: "However, since Lu Xipan has this wish, I will lock Jiang Feng underground. Just wait for the blood baby flowers to bloom, and let them make a pair of reunion puppets in the painting."
