Chapter 4 third chapter

But Gao Huan didn't seem to be moved at all. He was leaning on the tree, holding a few blades of grass, his expression still calm and indifferent.It's just that his eyes fell on Ren Feiyang's sword frequently, and his face changed extremely complicatedly. "Young Master Ren, can I borrow your sword to have a look?" He suddenly asked an irrelevant question. Ren Feiyang couldn't react for a while, he was stunned for a while, and then threw the sword away casually: "Just look at it, it's nothing special." With a solemn expression, Gao Huan slowly drew out the sword with his backhand, and saw the two words on the spine of the sword at a glance - "Qingqing".A strange look flashed in his eyes.He put the sword away, and said calmly: "Young Master Ren, this sword is not an ordinary thing, you should use it well."

Ren Feiyang wondered: "Really? I have used it since I was a child, and it is nothing special except that it is a little faster than other swords!" Gao Huan smiled: "It's not just 'a little' faster? If it weren't for the sharpness of this sword and the imposing aura, you wouldn't be able to cut through the thousand-year-old giant tree with one sword." He stretched out his hand and flicked the spine of the sword, and there was a clear dragon chant. "This sword was forged by Shao Kongzi, a master swordsmith a hundred years ago, and it is also one of the three sharp weapons in his life. I don't know how many people in the martial arts dream of getting it—why, didn't your father mention it?"

Ren Feiyang pouted: "My father died when I was seven or eight years old, and he didn't teach me anything since I was a child." "Then your swordsmanship..." "It's simple, I secretly practice according to the sword manual! It's the same anyway." Gao Huan nodded, and asked again: "Didn't Lingtang... mention it?" He looked a little strange. Ren Feiyang leaned against the tree, folded his arms and sneered: "My mother only has my father in her eyes, and she doesn't care about me at all. Once my father died, she followed him within a month. Those people bullied me when I was young and ignorant. Want to step on my head... Hehe, they are fierce, but I am even more fierce than them! Since I was a child, I have been the boss in this White Deer City, who dares to bully me again?"

There was an evil smile on the face of the young man in red, but there was a hint of loneliness in his eyes: "People call me a wicked young man...it's nothing, anyway, I have never been taught by a mother since I was a child." Gao Huan didn't seem to listen to him, he lowered his head and repeatedly fiddled with the grass in his hand, then suddenly raised his head and asked again: "So, your father Lingtang has passed away for a long time?" "That's right." Ren Feiyang replied, and then suddenly felt startled, and asked strangely, "Why are you talking so much today? Why are you asking this?"

Gao Huan smiled and said nothing more. "Auntie, Uncle, it's almost noon, shall we go back to Tiannv Temple for dinner?" Suddenly, Xiaoqi and the others rushed over, "We're hungry!" As soon as they entered the Tiannv Temple, everyone was stunned.The courtyard was in a state of chaos, and there were several corpses lying here and there beside the wall, probably poisoned to death when they forced their way in; but the courtyard had also been completely destroyed. "Grandma's! What an overbearing Shenshui Palace!" Ren Feiyang raised his eyebrows angrily. "Gao Huan, let's work together to level it, do you dare to go?" He turned his head and looked at Gao Huan like a shock.

Gao Huan seemed to have expected the scene here, so he just glanced at it and didn't say anything. Seeing his silence, Ren Feiyang was very dissatisfied, and asked again: "Are you going? If not, I will do it alone!" Only then did Gao Huan come back to his senses, and asked lightly, "Oh, go to Shenshui Palace? This is not for fun." He pondered for a long time, and a cruel and indifferent light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and said decisively: "Okay, tomorrow I'll go with you!" Ren Feiyang was overjoyed, jumped over and patted him on the shoulder: "I knew you would go, although you look cold and indifferent, you are still a good man! We will be brothers from now on! This...is it necessary to have a token for sworn brothers?"

Scratching his head, he couldn't think of anything to give as a gift. Ren Feiyang simply took off his sword and gave it to him: "Don't you like this sword? I'll give it to you!" Gao Huan raised his head suddenly, his eyes flashed with shock: "You...give it to me? How can this be possible!" Ren Feiyang thought he was embarrassed to accept it, so he patted him on the shoulder persuadingly: "If you feel sorry, you can exchange your sword with me! This way, no one owes anyone, right?" Gao Huan stared at him, his eyes became very strange, and asked slowly: "You don't regret it?"

"Of course I don't regret it!" "That's good." Gao Huan untied the sword from his waist and handed it to Ren Feiyang. This sword is already very old, the shark skin of the scabbard has been worn out in several places, and the wooden handle for holding the hand has been worn so smooth that it can be seen clearly - obviously it has been with Gao Huan for many years.Ren Feiyang drew his sword backhand.The light blue sword is not inlaid with precious stones or jade, and it is not even engraved with words.There was only a faint mark on the smooth sword spine. Like traces left after tears dry.

Ren Feiyang couldn't see anything special about the sword, so he put it on his waist, and said with a smile: "Gao Huan, we will be brothers from now on... I don't have much experience in the world, so you have to remind me." Gao Huan smiled. When he smiled, his eyes were still closed - that was absolutely cruel! He turned around and walked away, looked at the interrogation sword in his hand, and sighed softly: "God's will, is it really God's will?" For the first time, his eyes lost their calmness and coldness, revealing the color of pain, However, it was only fleeting.

"Master Gao, why don't you go in and sit down?" When he looked up, he saw a pair of eyes as calm as water.Fengsha had stood in front of him at some point, watching him quietly.Gao Huan immediately turned his head away again—— For some reason, he felt as if all his thoughts had been seen by these eyes. It was getting dark, after dinner, Gao Huan stayed in the courtyard alone, and the active Ren Feiyang had already played with the children.The children were no longer afraid of him, but got along very well with this big boy-like uncle. The girl looked at him with a smile on the side, and the boy had already crawled on top of him with all his might.

Feng Sha sat by the window, watching the lively crowd in the courtyard, but only Gao Huan's eyes kept appearing in front of his eyes. The look in the cold eyes seemed to be magma gushing out after the glacier split open!This person... deep down in his heart, what is he thinking? Looking at Gao Huan who was sitting alone under the laurel tree in the corner of the atrium, she finally walked over. Before he was three feet away from him, without looking back, Gao Huan said lightly, "Miss Ye, do you believe that there are four-leaf clover in the world?" He asked very strangely. Feng Sha was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled wryly: "I don't think so." "You are wrong." Gao Huan turned around slowly, walked over, and put a leaf in her hand.On the thin stem, four small round leaves spread out in the shape of a "ten".Four leaf clover! "Oops!" Fengsha was surprised and delighted, couldn't help blurting out, and asked, "Where did you find it?" Gao Huan smiled slightly: "I picked it up from Xiaofei's pile of grass—sometimes it's in your hand, and you didn't realize it, so you threw it away... Four-leaf clover is actually not difficult. Find." Feng Sha looked up, and found that when he smiled this time, his eyes were no longer the coldness of the past, a warm light filled his eyes, and even his usually cold and serious face softened a lot. Suddenly, a warm current rose in her heart, and for some reason, even her voice trembled a little: "You...Give it to me?" Gao Huan's hand trembled imperceptibly, and he turned his head slowly.His eyes were cooling down sharply. "Keep it if you like it." He said lightly. Fengsha was silent for a while, then reached out and took out something from his bosom and handed it over: "You gave me the clover, just accept this." Gao Huan was startled for a moment, what he got was a lock of blue silk, braided into a thin braid.It was the strand he cut off with his sword from the sandy head during the day.His icy fingertips touched soft and smooth hair. For a moment neither of them spoke. After a long time, Fengsha asked: "Are you going to Shenshui Palace with Mr. Ren tomorrow?" "En." Gao Huan just responded and stopped answering. "But the injury on your leg is still..." Her voice was really anxious and concerned. "It's okay, it's just a flesh injury." Gao Huan's voice was still indifferent and calm. Feng Sha was silent for a long time, and finally replied with a sigh: "You... and I met by accident, it didn't have to be like this." Gao Huan was silent.In the silence, he suddenly said another strange sentence: "Actually, your brother is also very selfish." Fengsha's face changed, and he said coldly, "What do you mean by that?" "Before he died, he finally confessed his heart to you. This is his selfishness. He clearly knew that he would die immediately and would never be able to accompany you forever, but he still told you and made you suffer for the rest of his life..." "If he really loved you deeply, he wouldn't let you carry this burden all his life just to let himself 'come, live, and love'. He should have kept this secret until he died, so that You lived happily..." Gao Huan said while walking away slowly.He spoke very calmly and calmly, as if he had thought about it for a long time before he said these words. Fengsha looked at his back, dazed for a long time, then suddenly covered his face with his hands, and fell down crying under the laurel tree. It was late at night, and the Tiannv Temple was immersed in darkness. But a window gradually opened without a sound, and a night traveler plunged into the darkness like lightning, crossing the forest and crossing the water. "Xiao Gao, you came on time." In the dark forest, a woman's voice sounded.The voice was cold and low, but it carried an indescribable momentum, as if it was a natural ruler, "Is everything going well?" "Yes. Ren Feiyang and Ye Fengsha didn't notice anything, and they can start tomorrow." Gao Huan's voice had also become emotionless, as cold as if it came from hell! "Very good." This time it was a young man's voice, equally cold and arrogant, but with an irresistible majesty.The voice said word by word: "After tomorrow, you can go back and explain the process to Ye Fengsha in person. Do you understand?" Gao Huan was silent for a while in the dark, and immediately said decisively: "Obey!" But in just two words, there was an uncontrollable trembling. "Go back and recharge your spirits. After you're done, come back to the main rudder to see me." The man ordered lightly. "Do you want him to explain to Ye Fengsha face to face?" The woman asked slowly after a while, "Didn't you hear that Xiao Gao seems to be in pain?...Do you still want to force him?" "I forced him like this, but it has not exceeded the limit of his tolerance." The man said flatly but decisively, "This is just an ordinary killer deal——Xiao Gao is my right-hand man, and I don't want him to do it now. Lost value - I want him to get this over with himself." The woman didn't speak for a long time, she just sighed quietly: "Let's go." "Ah Jing, do you...do you think I've gone too far again?" the man asked slowly, "Sometimes your heart is softer." The woman smiled wryly and stopped talking. Just after dawn, in the suburbs, the cold wind blowing on the face was as sharp as a knife. "Hey, Gao Huan, you don't have to rush to Shenshui Palace to take revenge!" Ren Feiyang and Gao Huan rode side by side. Can't stop complaining, "Come out early in the morning, and leave without even telling Fengsha, she will be worried." Gao Huan looked calm and didn't answer his question. When he reached a fork in the road, he dismounted suddenly and rushed into a small shop by the side of the road. "By the way, my stomach is also playing empty city tricks." Ren Feiyang dismounted with a wry smile, and walked in. The two ordered some side dishes and began to have a drink. It was the first time Ren Feiyang got involved in the world, and he was both excited and nervous, and kept asking Gao Huan.But Gao Huan seemed to say very little, and his expression was very cold. Ren Feiyang drank the wine in his glass and asked: "Gao Huan, will we be invincible in the world when we join hands to enter the rivers and lakes?" "No." Gao Huan said in a deep voice, and drank another cup in a muffled voice. "Then who else?" Ren Feiyang asked, full of disbelief.This young man who has never been out of Taizhou Mansion has always been confident in his martial arts and Gao Huan's martial arts.Gao Huan continued to drink the wine in the glass, turned his head to look at the gloomy sky outside, and sighed: "In this world, there are two people who will never be surpassed by anyone." As he spoke slowly, his expression suddenly became full of reverence and seriousness. "Wow... Even you are so amazing? Who are those two people?" Ren Feiyang asked. Gao Huan was stunned for a while, and then said word by word: "They... are a pair of dragon and phoenix." Dragon and phoenix among people!Ren Feiyang's eyes lit up - a person worthy of Gao Huan's praise must be unusual. But Gao Huan didn't seem to want to say more, so he drank a glass of wine and handed it to Ren Feiyang, with a serious expression on his face: "This time we went to Shenshui Palace, it was extremely dangerous, and I don't know if we can survive. Drink this glass first." Ren Feiyang took it and drank it down, laughing loudly: "Okay, with you in the company, let's fight it to death!" Gao Huan watched him drink, and smiled again in his eyes - but it was still an extremely cold smile. After drinking that glass of wine, he didn't say anything, just stood up and paid the bill. "Five cents and three cents of silver." Xiao Er reported the amount.Gao Huan took out the broken silver from his bosom, and handed it to Xiao Er for six dollars. "Hey, what is this?" Ren Feiyang picked up the thing that fell from his arms at the same time with quick eyesight and quick hands. A strand of braided blue silk glowed with a faint soft light. "Wow, no wonder you talked with Fengsha for so long last night." Ren Feiyang smiled strangely, glanced at him, and patted his companion on the shoulder vigorously, "Good boy, don't look at you coldly, but your hands and feet are quite fast Is it!" Gao Huan took the hair from his hand, a complex look suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he got on the horse without saying a word. "To be honest, Fengsha is a rare woman... If you hadn't acted too quickly, I would definitely give it a try," Riding on the horse, Ren Feiyang's red clothes fluttered with the wind, his handsome and young face There was a playful smile on the face, "Gao Huan, this time you go to Shenshui Palace, you must save your life and come back, otherwise Fengsha will be sad again. You don't want to be his second brother?" Gao Huan didn't smile at all, but gave him a cold look, and suddenly urged the horse to gallop away. "Hey, what are you doing, wait for me!" Ren Feiyang yelled and followed, "Why are you so embarrassed!" The moment the horse galloped, Gao Huan finally showed uncontrollable pain and sorrow on his face!The suffering and torture in his heart can never be understood by others. In a deep valley, Gao Huan slowed down his horse, and Ren Feiyang chased him up from behind: "You exhausted me to death!" The two walked slowly side by side.Gao Huan remained silent, and the murderous look in his eyes became more and more intense! "Ren Feiyang, do you know the name of the sword I gave you?" He asked suddenly. Ren Feiyang shook his head indifferently: "Does this sword have a name?" "Yes." Gao Huan looked at him and said word by word, "It's called tear stains." Ren Feiyang immediately remembered the faint mark on the spine of the sword, and couldn't help but lose his voice: "This is the Sword of Tears? Is it the Sword of Tears made by Shao Kongzi in the past, which is as famous as Wen Qing and Parting?" Gao Huan nodded, and said lightly: "Master Shao forged three swords in one furnace in the past, and the first sword was Wenqing. He knows the way of swords very well. Seeing that this sword has a clear edge, but it is not the best in the world, it is still unavoidable. Falling into the world of mortals to love and hate, that's why it is called "Qingqing". This sword has been in the rivers and lakes for more than a hundred years, until it fell into the hands of your father Ren Fengyun. Every generation of masters has experienced great joy and sorrow, and it is impossible to escape the calamity of love." Ren Feiyang was a little startled when he heard it, and couldn't help asking: "So, this is an ominous sword!" Gao Huan sighed, Xinma reined in and walked away, and said calmly: "The second forged sword is the trace of tears." "When the sword was just released, the world was full of wind and clouds, and there was a lot of chilling. Master Shao knew that this sword was too murderous, and many souls in the world would die under this sword. He couldn't help but feel pity, and a tear fell on the spine of the sword. , leaving traces. Therefore, this sword is also called tears. The person who got this sword in the end was my father Gao Jianfei. Because of the body of the sword, the murderous aura on the sword has also weakened." Ren Feiyang interjected: "You are not a person who does nothing, and the tears must have done a lot of chivalrous things in your hands. Now that it is in my hands, I will naturally not kill people indiscriminately. You can rest assured." Gao Huan's eyes became a little strange, he hesitated to speak. Ren Feiyang couldn't wait any longer, and asked again: "There is still a sword, is it parting?" "Farewell, farewell..." Gao Huan murmured, feeling a little bewildered, "It's also called the parting hook. Because Master Shao made a mistake when casting the sword, the tip of the sword was bent, and it looked as if It’s like a hook. Yang Zheng, the owner of the farewell hook in the past... Alas.’ If it hooks your hand, your hand will be separated from you; if it hooks your head, your head will be separated from you. You are separated. But I use the farewell hook only to be able to get together with you forever.'..." Gao Huan sighed and said nothing more. "Then, who owns the parting hook now?" Ren Feiyang couldn't help asking, fascinated by those anecdotes. "The world is so big, I don't know where he is going. After Yang Zheng's death, he seems to have 'parted' from the world." Gao Huan's eyes stopped on the sword in his hand, and suddenly said: "Let me tell you another legend Here you go-" "It has been said that in the past hundred years, killing people with the sword of tears is useless. But if the owner of the tear marks kills too much, he will die in the end. And the one who kills the owner of the tear mark must be the master of the question of love. These two swords , one is 'love' and the other is 'hate', these two swords are bound to kill each other forever...do you believe it?" Ren Feiyang was stunned for a moment, then smiled indifferently: "How can you believe this? Could it be that you and I will kill each other?" Gao Huan turned around suddenly, and said word by word: "I didn't believe it at first, but now I have to believe it." His voice was covered with ice and snow, surging with incomparable murderous aura! Ren Feiyang was shocked, and when he looked up, he saw Gao Huan's eyes—cruel, indifferent, and murderous, completely different from what he usually saw!He couldn't help reining in his horse and asked, "You... who are you?" "Me?" Gao Huan sneered, "Don't you all call me 'Hero'? Wrong, all wrong! My real identity—— "Just a killer!" "Killer?" Ren Feiyang asked in disbelief. In his impression, "killer" was only limited to the group of black-clothed men he met at the Tiannv Temple a few days ago. Such a person can also be a killer?" "There are many kinds of killers. A few days ago, they were only third-rate killers. But we heard that Xuelou's killers are first-rate." "Ting Xuelou? What kind of organization is that?" Ren Feiyang blurted out in surprise. "It is currently the most powerful organization in the entire martial arts world, and it is also the object of my service." Gao Huan immediately stopped talking, he knew that this should not be said - even to an opponent who is about to die. Ren Feiyang sighed helplessly, patted the horse's head, glanced at him, and asked, "Well, why did you kill me?" "Because I accepted a contract three years ago. The contract required me to kill a man named Ren Fengyun and his family. I accepted it, but I couldn't find the whereabouts of this man until I heard that' Wenqing' once appeared in Bailu City, so I came to investigate." Gao Huan said, but his expression was calm, unfazed, "At first I was not sure that you were Ren Fengyun's son, until I carefully looked at your sword , and after seeing your attack, I made up my mind to kill you." "Who asked you to kill?" Ren Feiyang asked in disbelief, frowning, "My parents seem to have never messed with people in the world, and I have been in Bailu City since I was a child, and I have never set foot in the world—who insisted on killing us? " Gao Huan shook his head: "This is the rule in our industry: never reveal the name of the employer. However, I can tell you that that person is dead. This contract was given to me before she died." He After a pause, she couldn't help sighing: "This is really a terrible person. She is full of hatred in her heart, and she vowed to destroy your whole family—I really don't know how you two got into a grudge." Of course no one knows.Twenty-three years have passed, and of course the grievances between Ren Fengyun, Jinghong and Jingmeng have long been forgotten.But the only thing that never dies is hatred—the hatred that is engraved in Jingmeng's heart! This terrible hatred finally passed on the blood debt to the next generation. Ren Feiyang had returned to his normal state, he jumped off his horse with a laugh, and pulled out the tear-stained sword with his backhand: "Okay, Gao Huan, I've wanted to compete with you for a long time, come on! I don't believe in this damn legend." He dismounted and stood there, holding the sword in his right hand between his eyebrows, and holding the sword formula in his left hand.The mountain wind blew his red cloak and black hair flying, but he was as stable as a rock. Gao Huan didn't move, as if he was waiting for something. Suddenly, a sneer escaped from his lips, and he said coldly without looking back: "Fall down!" Before the voice fell, Ren Feiyang's face changed drastically, his body swayed a few times, and he couldn't help but feel fatigued on the ground! "You...you actually used poison!" He finally couldn't help hissing, his eyes changed color, "You, you actually used poison!" Gao Huan stopped looking at him, and said calmly, "That's right. The wine I offered you in the shop just now was poisoned—after all, you have too little experience in the world, and you drank it without even noticing it." Ren Feiyang stared at him, cold sweat trickled down his forehead, his face was already twitching in pain, but his heart hurt more than his body!He clenched his teeth tightly, bleeding from the corners of his mouth, hissed: "Why? Why don't you let me go and fight, but use this despicable method!" He is not reconciled, too unwilling!If Gao Huan died under the sword, it might still be a pleasure, but now he died of poison like this, but he was extremely unwilling. "Don't forget, I'm not a knight, I'm just an unscrupulous killer." Gao Huan watched him struggling in pain, and said coldly, "I wanted to give you a good time, but unfortunately, my employer The method of your death has been stipulated. That's why I will inject the poison of 'nine heavens and ten places, all demons and gods will be wiped out'." He added another sentence: "Maybe you haven't heard of this kind of poison, but I can tell you that when the poison occurs, you will definitely hate why you were born in this world... There is no way, it is entrusted to you by others." That's all, I must let you taste this poisonous pain." Ren Feiyang was speechless, cold sweat dripped down his straight nose—even his sweat had turned a strange light blue color!Looking at the ruthless man in white clothes standing in front of him, his always bright eyes were already full of hatred! Gao Huan clapped the question in his hands, and there was a strange smile on the corner of his mouth: "When you suggested exchanging swords that day, I asked you and I didn't regret it... It's a pity that you promised not to regret it. It seems that the legend is true. Those who believe—the owner of the tear stains... will indeed die under the condition of love." He turned around and got on his horse: "You just wait here to die slowly... I won't accompany you anymore, I have made you drink this poison according to the contract." He glanced at the tear-stained sword on the ground again, sighed He took a deep breath: "This sword... will be buried with you!" Gao Huan, dressed in white like snow, turned his horse's head, walked a few steps, and suddenly turned around and asked, "What else do you have to say in the end?" Ren Feiyang opened his mouth with difficulty, panting: "If...if Fengsha sees you like this...she will be more sad than...bi brother died..." In less than a moment, even his voice was gone. Hoarse and unable to make a sound, the strong nature of the poison can be seen! Gao Huan was startled, and reached into his arms, his cold fingertips touched the soft hair.His complexion changed, his murderous aura disappeared, and he left silently. Ren Feiyang only felt that his body was burning like a raging fire, and it was like a colony of ants devouring his body, which made him crazy and made him lose his mind!He caught a glimpse of the tears on his hand, and groped for the hilt of the sword: "After all, after all, he still...kept this sword for me!" He couldn't pull out the sword to kill himself, so he propped the sword on the ground and fell to the tip of the sword. He did not fall on the sword.A hand had already caught him in time, and at the same time took away the sword, a slender and tough hand. Before he fell into a coma due to the poison, he heard a woman's voice, sighing very close: "Sure enough, Xiao Gao does not disappoint! It's just... oh..." Before he could finish his sigh, the hand had already nodded. He has twelve large acupuncture points all over his body.
