Chapter 35 Section VIII

Xiao Xie thought of the story of meeting in the underworld, and suddenly felt that the father and son in front of him were strange and helpless.Ouyang Mijian said: "Father, but Lin Luo and the others plotted against you?" Ouyang Xuan didn't answer, but looked up at a stone wall not far away.Xiao Xie was curious, so he took a photo, and it turned out that there was a sword stuck in the stone wall.I don't know who had such great strength back then, but most of the sword body didn't get into the stone, and there was a jade ring on the sword.With the passage of time and the damp atmosphere, the entire body of the sword has been corroded, only the pure white jade ring is shining faintly, and cold dew drips from the edge of the ring.

"I've been here this time, and I've always wanted to pull out this sword, but I'm old and weak, so I can't shake it." Ouyang Xuan said, "Xianjian, come and try." Ouyang Mijian walked over, grabbed the hilt of the sword, and wanted to use his strength, but he turned around and looked at his father suspiciously. Ouyang Xuan said: "If you can't pull it out, you don't need to say anything. Knowing those things is not good for you. If you can pull it out, I can rest assured and tell you everything." Before he finished speaking, the Rusty Sword was already in Ouyang Mijian's hands.The white jade ring slipped off.Seeing this, Ouyang Xuan couldn't help but his eyes lit up: "Okay!" But he didn't take the sword, he just picked up the jade ring carefully and wiped it carefully, revealing the pattern on it, it was a magnolia flower.

"This white jade ring was originally a pair, and the other one... was lost. It's a pity that only this is left, but it was nailed to the wall. ——This was originally a relic of your mother." "Mother..." Ouyang Mijian suddenly became nervous. "Twenty years ago, the Youtan Tang family was still a force that cannot be ignored in the Jianghu. The ancestors of the Tang family were originally good at the swordsmanship of the butterfly dance and the demon wind, but later on, they abandoned the swordsmanship and practiced heresy ways. Concealed weapons are done incisively and vividly. Their patriarch, Tang Ling, has both concealed weapons and poisons. His methods are ruthless. He is known as the "Poison Demon", and he was called the "Drug Demon" Shen Bin for a while. The "Drug Demon" works It’s just that he’s been lonely all his life, and he’s been alone, so he can’t make a big deal. Tang Ling is different. Originally, the Utan Tang family withdrew from the Central Plains at the end of the Tang Dynasty and lived in seclusion in Guanzhai Mountain in western Fujian. They have been unknown in the world for decades. Since the poisonous demon Tang Ling took over the Tang family, he has done several major events that have shocked the martial arts world. It has the same momentum as when Utan Mountain Villa rose outside the Great Wall. Tang Ling is a capable person and an ambitious person. The Tang family Powerful, not only because they use poison, but also because they sell their unique secret medicine. They don't talk about morals, no matter whether they are white or black, upright or evil, they will sell it to whoever pays the highest price. But Tang Ling is very suspicious, he Those secret recipes are kept strictly confidential, even his own family members don’t know. But as the patriarch, how can he spend all his time in the pharmacy dispensing medicine?”

"Father, it sounds like the Tang family is not a good family. They are enemies with our Yuantian Pavilion, right?" Ouyang Mi Jian said. "I can't say the enemy." Ouyang Xuan said, "Mijian, remember, Yuantian Pavilion must gain a foothold in the arena, and you can't offend other gangs casually, especially those who act secretly and have their own secrets. Even if No matter how heinous they are, if our vital interests are not touched, it would be the best policy to sit back and wait and watch. Unfortunately, I was as young and energetic as you at that time, and I didn't listen to my father, your grandfather. There were a few shocking and big cases in Jianghu, which aroused public outrage in martial arts. However, their poisons are too powerful, and every time they make a move, there are new types of poisons, which is hard to guard against. Besides our Yuantian Pavilion, there are The other one or two, famous families in the martial arts, almost all of them are masters in the hands of Tang Ling. Your grandfather said to look again, but I couldn't help it. Because I got the exact news that the Youtan Tang family The next target is Luling Banshan Hall. Luling is where our Ouyang family’s ancestral tomb is located, and Banshan Hall has been close friends with our family for generations. The owner of Banshan Hall has always been conceited and refused to ask for help from Yuantian Pavilion. To escape the catastrophe. At the beginning of May, I did not lie to my father, one person and one sword, went down the river and came to Guanzhai Mountain in Liancheng, Fujian."

"Does father want to steal the secret recipe of poison that the Tang family used to deal with Banshantang this time?" Ouyang Mi asked. "That's right. The Tang family's ancestral house in the depths of Guanzhai Mountain has a very strange style. An earthen building is surrounded by a circle, like mushrooms growing from the ground. Because I don't know the local dialect, I pretend to be a dumb person. The one with hair, found a job of carrying water and chopping firewood at his house, while secretly inquiring about the secrets of Tang Ling's dispensing. During the period, I met Tang Ling several times. He looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, and the surrounding countryside Compared with the gentry, there is nothing special. His wife, Mrs. Cai, is a lady who is knowledgeable about books and etiquette, and she is very kind. I thought that in this big earthen building, there must be a secret room where Tang Ling used to refine medicine. I Taking advantage of the opportunity to deliver water to each house, they did not find any clues. It was only by chance that Tang Ling asked an apprentice if Baichilou had delivered anything. Although the earthen buildings in this area are tall, there are no One room can be hundreds of feet high. During the day, Tang Ling takes his apprentices to practice martial arts, and takes care of all kinds of family affairs. At night, he goes back to his room to rest. Medicine? Who is that? This is the biggest secret of the Tang family. At that time, I was inexperienced in the world, and I was alone in the tiger's den for three months. Being bullied by the housekeeper, I fought against injustice, and accidentally showed my kung fu, which aroused the suspicion of others. I couldn't stay any longer, so I left overnight.

"Returning in vain, I'm bored after all. Then I thought about the Baichilou. This Guanzhai Mountain is very big. I haven't been to many places. I plan to take a walk. Maybe I can hear the Baichilou News. So I wandered in the mountains for a few days, walking deeper and deeper. There was no one on the way, only Danya, clear water, singing birds and flowers, which was very pleasing to the eye. After three months of playing a bad old man, I squatted by the mountain spring to rest. I found that I looked ugly. So I washed my face carefully to remove all the makeup. At this time, I heard a clear voice calling me. Looking up, I found that there was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old man on the opposite side of the stream not far away. girls.

"The girl spoke the western Hokkien dialect. It probably meant that I shouldn't wash my face upstream of her, dirtying the stream on her side. I was really young at that time, and I saw that the other party was just a little girl, and she was so pure. Yan Keren, I deliberately teased her to say a few more words. The girl was a little anxious, so she packed up her basket and walked upstream. I inadvertently glanced into her basket, and couldn't help being surprised. It was full of Herbs. Some of them have been seen before, and some of them can’t even be named. I also pay attention to the girl’s attire, which is plain and simple, but the materials are all high-quality. It can be seen that she is definitely not an ordinary woman in a jingchai sarong. While I pretended to continue washing my face, I bounced a small stone, knocking over the basket on the stone, and the herbs washed into the water. I jumped down and helped her pick up the herbs. The girl seemed really She didn't know martial arts, but thanked me in a hurry. I took advantage of the situation to talk to her again. That girl was so innocent and unsuspecting, she told me in a few sentences that she came to the mountains to find a kind of flower to make medicine. The whole Guanzhai Mountain, there is only one place where that kind of flower tree grows, but the distance is far away and the terrain is dangerous. I immediately volunteered to accompany her to find it."

When Ouyang Xuan said this, he couldn't help being stunned.After many years, beside the Jianjia water, under the rhododendrons, the flowery smile of a girl in a skirt is still as clear as yesterday.She didn't say yes or no, she just lowered her head slightly.A lock of jet-black hair hung down his snow-white forehead.Ouyang Xuan, who was in his early twenties, was already a well-known Pian Pianjia son in the world.Although men have ambitions in all directions and never take their children's personal feelings to heart, but girls have seen a lot of admiration, how can they not understand?For some reason, he suddenly felt a little regret and pity for this mysterious but innocent girl.Later they walked into the mountains together.The girl couldn't walk fast, so he slowed down and waited for her, telling her all kinds of gossip, making her giggle.

"She refused to tell me her name and family background, saying that her family would not allow it. At this point, I was almost sure that she was from the Tang family, and that she was inseparable from the unique secret medicine. I was afraid of alarming the enemy, so I stopped asking I don't know how far I walked, the girl suddenly said it. Following her finger, I saw a tall tree deep in the valley, with six-petaled flowers blooming on the top of the tree, as white as jade. I climbed to the top of the tree and picked a handful. The girl carefully put it in the basket and said it was a rare thing. I remembered that there are many magnolia trees in our Jiang Township. So I said, if she comes home with me Go, there are a lot of magnolias to pick. As I said that, I pretended to accidentally fall from the tree and hurt my leg. The girl was really scared again, and asked me if I wanted to go to her house to bandage it."

Hearing this, Xiao Xie frowned unconsciously, thinking that in order to pry into other people's secrets, the old pavilion master Ouyang would not hesitate to change a way to deceive a little girl, which is really enough. "So I finally saw the so-called Baichi Building. It turned out that the building was not a hundred feet high, but a small thatched hut built on a Baizhang high cliff, facing a deep pool below. I think Tang Ling is really scheming. Put a The little girl who knows nothing about the world is locked up in this isolated place, collecting flowers and plants for him, and preparing a unique poison, but no one can find it. That night, I finally went to the top of Baichilou and found Tang Ling The secret recipe prepared for the attack on Banshan Hall. She is finally willing to say her name, Xuanshuang."

Ouyang Xuan lowered his head.It's not that he doesn't want his son to know about this secret affair, but what he dared not face all these years is that he was actually the one who cheated and used Xuanshuang's pure and pure as Chuxue's feelings for the sake of the secret medicine?However, was it really just deception, or was it because he himself felt a strange feeling at that time that it was the reason for that period of illusion? "Take me to your place to see the magnolia tree. Okay?" Xuanshuang whispered softly in his ear, "I have been locked here since I was a child, and I have never seen the scenery outside." Ouyang Xuan was shocked and took her back to see Magnolia. It was a joke, but she took it to heart.Xuanshuang's hair was as black as ink, and her hair was scattered on the pillow like water.Ouyang Xuan fiddled lightly, and made a decision that surprised him: "I'll take you home to see Magnolia." The next day they took advantage of the morning fog and left Guanzhai Mountain.Ouyang Xuan was always worried that people from the Tang family would catch up, so he hurried on, and within three days, he had already reached the edge of the Yangtze River.Across the river is Luling City.Xuanshuang saw Dajiang for the first time.She stood quietly in the harsh river wind and watched the scenery, her expression was very focused.Ouyang Xuan looked at her thin back, feeling very upset.Can he really bring Xuanshuang home?A woman of unknown origin cannot be accepted by her father no matter what.If you know that she is from the Tang family, you should treat her as an enemy.Of course, Xuanshuang brought the unique secret medicine of Youtan Tang family to Yuantian Pavilion.But in this way, it is even more impossible to save her life with her father's actions. Xuanshuang is beautiful, but Ou Yanxuan has seen many beautiful and famous chivalrous women in the world.Martial arts temperament, talent and demeanor, even Xuanshuang can't be said to be particularly outstanding.What makes him reluctant to part?Maybe it's just that little bit of truth, the truth buried in the depths of Guanzhai Mountain that is unknown and tainted by the world, which touches the softest side of people's hearts. "Xuan—look!" Her sweet voice sounded in the wind. Following her finger, Ouyang Xuan saw a kite made of white paper flying in the lead-colored sky.He held Xuanshuang's hand tightly, and refused to let go. They stopped in Luling for two days.Ouyang Xuan went to Banshan Hall that day.Now that the formula for the antidote has been obtained, it will be relatively easier to deal with the killer from the Tang family.Tang Ling's unique secret medicine was cracked by them.The fight was miserable, but Ouyang Xuan spared the killers of the Tang family and let them run away when the sword came to an end.In private, he cared about Xuanshuang, although she would never know that he and her clan were enemies.After the battle, he deliberately changed into the blood-stained white clothes before returning to the secluded inn.Xuanshuang disappeared.The waiter said that a few men with a Fujian accent kidnapped her, but there was nothing they could do. Please don't blame me, the official. For a moment, Ouyang Xuan felt a "crash", and the cold tide rushed through his mind.Xuanshuang, Xuanshuang, he wants to rescue her back.If the poisonous demon Tang Ling knew that she had leaked the secrets of the sect, she would be tortured horribly.Ouyang Xuan ran wildly in Luling city like crazy.Without Xuanshuang's shadow, Luling seems to have become an empty city, as thin as a silhouette of ruins.Until later his father, the old pavilion master Ouyang Yunhai appeared.His father forcibly took him back to Yuantian Pavilion, shut him up on the top floor, and spent three years in seclusion. "Did father really be imprisoned in Xingxingtai for three years?" Ouyang Mijian asked. "No. I only stayed there for less than two years." Ouyang Xuan said. More than a year later, on New Year's Eve, Jiang Siyuan, who was still a servant at the time, took advantage of the opportunity to deliver the New Year's Eve dinner to the Star Picking Terrace, and quietly let the young pavilion master out.Ouyang Xuan rode on the Maxima stolen by Jiang Siyuan, and headed straight for Guanzhai Mountain.As he expected, the Baichi Building no longer exists, and there is not even a tile left on the top of the cliff, only a pool of spring water, empty mountains and fallen trees.Even the tree orchids were dug up by their roots. Not reconciled, he came to the huge enclosure of Utan Tang's house again.Surrounded by round houses, it is as dense as an iron barrel.He hid on the beam of the servant's room, hoping to learn about Xuanshuang's whereabouts from the chatter of the servants.The atmosphere in the Tang family was a bit strange. It turned out that Tang Ling's wife Tang Cai was pregnant for ten months, but she couldn't give birth for a long time.The doctor saw it and said it was twins. In the dead of night, Ouyang Xuan faintly heard a baby crying in the courtyard of the deep house.He felt a little strange, could Mrs. Tang give birth?His heart moved, thinking that if he could snatch a baby from the Tang family as a threat, he might be able to find out the whereabouts of Xuanshuang.I followed the cat-like cry to find it, but it became more and more remote, unlike my wife's house.A single lamp remained on.Ouyang Xuan opened the window paper, and saw a skinny woman under the lamp, drowsy while rocking a cradle.The baby in the cradle also seemed to be tired from crying, and there was no sound. Ouyang Xuan didn't see Shang Ke, and when he saw it, he was almost crazy.Isn't that the Xuanshuang that he misses day and night?Without thinking, he pushed open the window and went in. "I haven't seen you for two years. You've lost weight." Xuanshuang said calmly when she saw him.She didn't say anything, just lowered her head and continued to coax the child. Ouyang Xuan's heart sank, the world will not be sad for a long time.The two of them faced each other quietly like this, speechless for a while, until Tang Ling rushed in with someone.This small room was immediately filled with swords, lights and swords.Ouyang Xuan didn't resist, and let the thugs of the Tang family put the knife on his neck. Tang Ling said in a deep voice: "Sister, you have always refused to tell whose seed this child is. Now you can't deny it?" Ouyang Xuan was startled, but he didn't expect that Xuanshuang was the biological sister of poisonous demon Tang Ling.Tang Ling thought he heard the noise, got up in a hurry, and put on a half-worn gray crane cloak, his gloomy face under the lamp looked haggard.Ouyang Xuan was about to say something when Xuanshuang suddenly knelt down for Tang Ling. "Xuan Shuang is convicted. Parents died early, and Xuan Shuang was raised and taught by her brother and sister-in-law before she grew up. Xuan Shuang colluded with outsiders and leaked her brother's secret recipe. She deserved to die. I only ask my brother to execute Xuanshuang later. , Let the father and son go. All the crimes are on Xuanshuang alone." Ouyang Xuan couldn't help but shouted: "Tang Ling! I was the one who seduced your sister, if you want to kill me, just kill me." Hearing this, Tang Ling became angry: "Master Ouyang, do you think I dare not punish you!" At this time, the crowd suddenly opened a gap, and it was Mrs. Tang who came over with her servant. "What are you doing here!" Tang Ling couldn't help but blame her when he saw his wife staggering with her stomach full. "I'm afraid you will get angry for a while." Mrs. Tang said bluntly, "Even if there are many things wrong, she is our own sister after all. Brother Ling, let go when you have to let go. Alas, if you didn't leave Xuanshuang alone in the past... How could such a thing happen in the deep mountains and old forests?" Although Tang Ling was ruthless, he never used force against his family members.After hearing Madam's words, I lost my mind for a while.Mrs. Tang walked over, helped Xuanshuang up, and ordered someone to let go of Ouyang Xuan.Tang Ling shook his head, and everyone was speechless for a while.They all waited for the patriarch to speak. Ouyang Xuan looked at Xuanshuang, years of living in seclusion made her haggard, her pale forehead seemed to be covered with a thin layer of veil under the lamp. The embarrassing silence lasted for half a stick of incense, and then Tang Ling said in a deep voice: "I'm just such a girl, and I gave it to a surname Ouyang. In the future—Mr. Ouyang, if you don't take good care of her, I will definitely destroy Yuan." Tiange!" Apart from letting go of the past, Tang Ling graciously agreed to the marriage.Ouyang Xuan was overjoyed.He hurried back to his home in Hankou, but he became worried again. "With such a reputation as the Youtan Tang family, even if you bring a girl to your door, maybe your grandfather won't agree to marry her?" Ouyang Mijian said coldly.Xiao Xie also thinks so. Ouyang Xuan nodded slightly: "I was also worried about this at the time, but it was quite unexpected." Before he returned to Yuantian Pavilion, his father Ouyang Yunhai had already sent someone to follow him on the road.It turned out that Tang Ling's envoy was faster than him, and had already proposed marriage to Yuantian Pavilion.The person who picked him up was Jiang Siyuan who let him go, and he also brought the words of the old pavilion master. "Since Xuan'er likes a girl from the Tang family and already has a grandson, of course he should marry back in a dignified manner." As for his private escape, "Remember, we will settle the accounts slowly after we get married." Ouyang Xuan also dreamed Never thought that my father would be so enlightened.For a moment he was so happy that he almost forgot who he was. Soon, Jiang Siyuan took the order of the old pavilion master and took the brigade to Guanzhai Mountain.When the only son of the Ouyang family gets married, the dowry must not be simple.When they came back, the team was even more spectacular, and the colorful boats covered the surface of the Yangtze River.Tang Ling brought his sister Xuanshuang to the door, along with several main figures of the Tang family.Ouyang Yunhai, the owner of Yuantian Pavilion, went to the ferry to greet him in person, and everything seemed grand and harmonious. Jiang Siyuan did not come back.As soon as he arrived in Fujian, he fell ill, presumably because he was not acclimatized to the environment.Now I have to stay at the Tang family in Guanzhai Mountain to recuperate. Tang Xuanshuang wore a red wedding gown, and she looked like a red lotus in bloom.She raised her eyes and asked Ouyang Xuan when he would take her to see the magnolia trees in Jiangxiang.When Ouyang Xuan was young, he went hunting with his father and knew that there was a secluded valley outside Wuchang City, and magnolias grew all over the valley.It was early spring at that time, and the magnolia tree had already bloomed those pure white flowers that were as beautiful as frost and snow. The two of them slipped out quietly, and it took some trouble to find the valley.Xuanshuang's red dress is set against the flowers, which is dazzling.The cold fragrance is condensed in the light twilight, and Xuanshuang's thin voice slowly slides in this fragrance, which sounds both real and illusory: "Dongting wave cold dawn invades the clouds, sailing to send people far away every day. Looking at the Mulan boat a few times, I don’t know it’s the flower body. The magnolia tree here is really the same as the one in my painting.” "What painting is it?" "After you left, I was bored at Guanzhishan's house all day long, so I drew a picture of Mulan according to what you said that day." "Did you bring that painting?" Xuanshuang shook her head: "Later, my sister-in-law saw it and said that the meaning in the painting was too sad. At that time, I had just given birth, so I shouldn't be too sad, so I took the painting away." Ouyang Xuan could only take a long breath.The two held hands and wandered casually in the valley, seeing that it was getting dark, Fang walked back slowly.Just as he was about to leave the valley, he suddenly heard a commotion outside, full of voices.A long string of torches meanders along the rugged mountain road of Mulan Valley, with no end in sight. "What's the matter?" Ouyang Xuan couldn't help being surprised. Xuanshuang didn't care, and said with a smile: "We two escaped privately, I'm afraid your family members are in a hurry and came out to look for it." Ouyang Xuan felt a strong sense of foreboding.He grabbed Xuanshuang's wrist and hurried towards the fire. But it was people from the Tang family, Tang Ling took them with them, and they all came.Ouyang Xuan suddenly realized that it was a little strange that so many people came to see off a girl from the Tang family.Tang Ling turned pale, and pulled Xuanshuang's sleeves: "Sister, follow me." Ouyang Xuan stood in front of Xuanshuang: "Mr. Tang, what did you say?" Tang Ling snorted, and without answering, he slapped Ouyang Xuan's face with his palm.Ouyang Xuan pulled out his saber smoothly.Only hearing Xuanshuang's "Ah--", the two of them clanked each other.At that time, Ouyang Xuan was already one of the best masters among the younger generation in Jianghu.In terms of martial arts alone, it is still above Tang Ling.But avoiding Tang Ling's pervasive poison, he didn't dare to use it very much.What's more, Xuanshuang was at the side, already in tears. "Then who will win this battle?" Ouyang Mijian asked. "No one won—or, I won." Ouyang Xuan said. In fact, the two of them haven't made a stick of incense yet.Tang Ling's men started to mess up in the back.A lot of people came from the mouth of Mulan Valley, and there was no end in sight, only the shadows of swords and knives were flickering under the half-dark moonlight.Human faces were vaguely reflected in the light of the knife.Ouyang Xuan was horrified to see that many of them were people he knew, the Hall Master of Banshan, the Lady of Jianhu, the Taoist of Yandang Mountain... It seemed that people from all the sects in the south of the Yangtze River had arrived.He didn't understand where these people came from.Then he remembered that these were all the guests his father had invited to his wedding. "Destroy the Poison Demon Tang Family—" Those people raised their weapons at the same time, and rushed towards Tang Ling's men.The bright fire dragon suddenly started to stir randomly, the flames splashed, and the smoke was everywhere, mixed with the loud shouts. Seeing this, Ouyang Xuan didn't have time to say anything, he brushed Tang Ling away with his palm, dragged the stunned Xuanshuang, and rushed out of the crowd.Behind them, the thugs of the Tang family and the Jiangnan martial arts sect were already fighting together. "Tell me, what's the matter," Xuanshuang asked repeatedly with a pale face, "what's the matter——" "I don't know either." Ouyang Xuan evaded.He vaguely understood what was going on, but he didn't dare to think about it, let alone tell Xuanshuang.Xuanshuang hesitated to run fast, Ouyang Xuan simply carried her on his back and ran to the depths of Mulan Valley.He wasn't afraid of death, but he was afraid of Xuanshuang witnessing the slaughter.This kind of massacre between sects was so cruel that even he himself did not want to witness it.He forgot that Mulan Valley is a dead end with no exit. Ouyang Xuan and Xuanshuang climbed up the hillside and looked back, the two parties gradually entered Mulan Valley, apparently the Tang family was weak and was gradually forced in.Xuanshuang stared at the shadow of swords and blood at the foot of the mountain, and called "brother" in a loud voice.Hearing her voice, Ouyang Xuan suddenly felt inexplicable fear, like waves of cold tide, submerging his whole body.He could only hold Xuanshuang's slender wrist tightly again and again, as if if he let go, she would disappear into the night forever. At this time, a figure swayed towards this side, Ouyang Xuan was about to strike, but he saw clearly that it was Dr. Mo from his own Yuantian Pavilion. "Young Pavilion Master, why did you come here? The Pavilion Master heard that you were also trapped in an ambush in Mulan Valley, but he still didn't believe it. It turns out that Young Madam is also there." Ouyang Xuan said: "Doctor Mo, what exactly is my father's arrangement?" Doctor Mo said nothing, looked back at the flames below the mountain, and said, "It's like this. It's not safe to go out with the young lady. Let's do this, there is a secret road in Mulan Valley, which leads directly to the water pavilion in the back garden of Yuantian Pavilion. We Get out of there." Doctor Mo led the way, Xuanshuang followed closely behind, and after Ouyang Xuan stopped, the three entered the secret passage.That is the cave that Ouyang Mijian and Xiao Xie discovered. Ever since Doctor Mo appeared, Xuanshuang has not spoken, but followed silently.After a while, a huge hall appeared in the belly of the mountain.Ouyang Xuan saw his father Ouyang Yunhai was waiting there, and there were several masters from Yuantian Pavilion beside him.Seeing Ouyang Xuan and his party, he was a little surprised.Ouyang Yunhai didn't say anything, but asked Dr. Mo first, how is the situation outside, and whether he needs to bring someone out to meet him.Doctor Mo said only one sentence: "They are blocked in Mulan Valley and cannot get out, and the whole army will be wiped out soon." Ouyang Xuan only felt that Xuanshuang threw his hand away violently.When it was time to catch her, she had already rushed to the secret path where she came. Ouyang Yunhai said coldly: "Do you think that if you tell your brother this secret path, they will be able to escape? With us guarding here, one man will be the gatekeeper. Today is the time when your Tang family will be full of evil. " Xuanshuang stopped in her tracks, turned around, and widened her desperate eyes: "The Tang family is full of evil, is this what you have arranged for a long time ago? It is just a scam for you to marry me, isn't it?" She suddenly Laughing: "Ouyang Xuan, you, hello—" Ouyang Xuan stared at her pale face, unable to argue for a while. "I want to find my brother, I want to go home..." Xuanshuang murmured, turning her head away, and ran straight into the depths of the secret passage.Suddenly stopped again, abruptly tore off the love jade ring that Ouyang Xuan gave her, and threw it viciously: "Give it back to you—I don't want it anymore!" Ouyang Xuan chased after him.Suddenly, with a clang sound, a ray of snow light crossed in front of Ouyang Xuan, pointing at Xuanshuang's back.Ouyang Xuan was shocked, the power of his palm was shaken, the sword turned a corner and penetrated deeply into the rock wall.The jade ring that was flying in the air was pierced on the sword body and could not be taken off again.Only then did Ouyang Xuan see clearly that it was his father's pavilion master's sword "Wind Ming Jiuxiao".He was so surprised that he couldn't help asking his father, did he really not spare Xuanshuang's life? But it was too late. There was only a huge roar, which was deafening.Ouyang Yunhai grabbed his son and backed away.For a while, the mountain was about to collapse.Ouyang Xuan couldn't help thinking, Xuanshuang is also ruthless, is he really going to blow them all to death in the mountain? No.After the dust settled, they saw that only the secret passage had been blown off.Ouyang Xuan stared blankly at the piles of rocks, knowing that Xuanshuang used the gunpowder handed down from her family to isolate herself in the hellish Mulan Valley of blood and fire, and she would never come back with her clansmen. "The Tang family's gunpowder is also very powerful..." Ouyang Yunhai just said. "The Tang family's gunpowder is really powerful..." Xiao Xie subconsciously twisted the purse containing the old gunpowder in his hand, thinking silently.If Tang Xuanshuang had used it more back then, not only the poisonous Tang family but also the Ouyang family would have been buried in Mulan Valley.However, she did not.She just ruined herself and left the Ouyang family with more than ten years of unresolved grievances and entanglements. Now Ouyang Xuan is not old, his beard and hair are white. "I'm going to see your mother. She died because of me, but I left her alone in Mulan Valley all these years." After the massacre that wiped out the Tang Sect was over, Ouyang Xuan quietly returned to Mulan Valley.There were bones everywhere, the fallen magnolias were stained with blood, and the branches and leaves of the magnolia trees were covered with knife marks.He found Xuanshuang's body, buried it under a magnolia tree, and carved a mark on the trunk.Ouyang Yunhai soon discovered his son's whereabouts, and immediately appointed him another lady from a famous family. Before the spring of that year passed, Ouyang Yunhai, the old pavilion owner of Yuantian Pavilion, began to fall ill.He has nightmares every night.The servants found him getting up in his dream, wielding swords like crazy.Later, he couldn't get out of bed gradually, and died before the end of summer, leaving a message before he died, no one is allowed to step into Mulan Valley, otherwise he will be shot.There was a rumor quietly circulating in the Yuantian Pavilion that the old pavilion master was captured by the evil spirits of the Tang family.Ouyang Xuan, the new pavilion master, cleaned up the Yuantian Pavilion to completely put an end to such rumors. Since then, Mulan Valley has become a forbidden area of ​​Yuantian Pavilion.In the deep mountains of Jiangxiang, no one cares about the flowers blooming and falling year after year.The child left behind by Xuanshuang grew up in Yuantian Pavilion year after year, and no one ever told him about those cold and beautiful flowers, and the past of the bones and blood buried under the flowers.
