Chapter 27 Chapter 26 Blood and Deep Enmity

The sun had disappeared, and the Long Street was deserted.Only a little light came on in the small building, and a person pushed open the window upstairs, staring at the silent long street.He knew that the night was coming. The bloodstains were dry.A gust of wind blew over, curling the golden-backed camel dragon's hair. Xiao Bieli closed his eyes, sighed softly, and slowly closed the window. The lights had just been lit.He sat down beside the solitary lamp, and his person was just as lonely as this lamp. The light shone on his face, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be more and deeper.

In every wrinkle, I don't know how much bitterness, suffering, and secrets are hidden. He poured himself a glass of wine and drank it slowly, as if waiting for something. But what else could he wait for?The good things in life have long since passed away with the passing of time, and the only thing he can wait for now may be death. Isn't lonely death sometimes very sweet! The night has come.He didn't have to look back at the night outside the window to feel it. The wine glass was empty, and when he was about to pour another glass of wine, he heard the voice from downstairs.

The sound of shuffling dominoes. A mysterious and shy smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he knew that he would hear such a voice. So he took up his crutches and walked slowly. At some point downstairs, a lamp was lit. Sitting alone under the lamp, he was turning over the dominoes one by one, with a mysterious and bitter smile in his eyes. Ye Kai rarely smiled like this.He stared at the dominoes on the table, but did not look up at Xiao Bieli. Xiao Bieli was staring at him, slowly sat down opposite him, and suddenly said: "What did you see?" Ye Kai was silent for a long time before sighing, "I can't see anything."

Xiao Bieli said, "Why?" Ye Kai was listening.He could see that Xiao Bieli was about to say something in front of him that he would never say otherwise. After a long time, Xiao Bieli sighed again and said: "Of course you have already realized that my surname is not Xiao." Ye Kai admitted. Xiao Bieli said: "A person's surname is not chosen by himself, he has no choice at all." Ye Kai said: "I understand this sentence, but I don't understand what you mean." Xiao Bieli said: "I mean, we are the same kind of people, but we took different paths, it's just because your luck is better than mine."

He hesitated, but finally made up his mind, and continued word by word: "Because your surname is not Ximen." Ye Kai said: "Ximen? Ximen Chun?" Xiao Bieli smiled wryly, "Did you already think of it?" Ye Kaidao: "I only thought of it when I saw someone pretending to be an old woman died in Li Mahu's shop." Xiao Bieli said, "Oh?" Ye Kai said: "That's when I realized that I called Ximen Chun, and when he turned around, he wasn't looking at me, but at you." Xiao Bieli said, "Oh." Ye Kai said: "He turned his head back just because he was surprised, how could I suddenly call out your name."

Xiao Bieli said: "That's why you think he is Ximenchun." Ye Kai sighed: "Everyone has mistakes." Xiao Bieli said: "Besides, he himself does not deny it." Ye Kai said: "How dare he deny it in front of you?" Xiao Bieli said: "At that time you thought Li Mahu was Granny Du." Ye Kai smiled bitterly: "Until now, I still can't figure out where Granny Du is hiding." Xiao Bieli said: "You will never think of it." Ye Kai said: "Why?" Xiao Bieli said slowly: "Because no one would have thought that Granny Du and Ximen Chun were originally the same person."

Ye Kai let out a long breath and said with a wry smile: "I really can't think of it!" He looked at Xiao Bieli again, and sighed: "Until now, I still can't see that you can pretend to be an old woman." Xiao Bieli said indifferently: "If you can tell, I am not Ximen Chun." Ye Kai sighed: "It's no wonder that people in the Jianghu say that only Ximen Chun is the only disciple of Thousand Faces." Xiao Bieli said, "I'm not a disciple of Yibo." Ye Kai said: "What is it?" Xiao Bieli said, "It's my son!"

Ye Kai said movedly: "Is your father a man with thousands of faces?" Xiao Bieli said, "Yes!" Ye Kai said: "So I was wrong from the beginning." Xiao Bieli sighed, nodded slowly, and said, "Everyone will inevitably make mistakes." Ye Kai sighed: "I never thought that Ma Kongqun would leave, I never thought of it." Xiao Bieli said lightly: "I thought he wouldn't be able to leave." Ye Kai said: "But he is smarter than we imagined, he knows that no one will miss the duel between Lu Xiaojia and Fu Hongxue." Xiao Bieli said: "If he wants to leave, this is indeed the best opportunity."

Ye Kai said: "Perhaps it is for this reason that he went to find Lu Xiaojia." Xiao Bieli said, "Oh?" Ye Kaidao: "He deliberately arranged those tricks, and deliberately wanted others to find out, just to make others believe that he really wanted to plot against Fu Hongxue, and wanted to kill Fu Hongxue." He sighed, and said with a wry smile: "If others have no doubts about his purpose at all, of course they would never have guessed that he actually wanted to take this opportunity to escape." Xiao Bieli also smiled, and said lightly: "Your biggest problem may be that you always think too much."

Ye Kai sighed: "That's right, it's better not to think too much alone." Xiao Bieli suddenly sighed and said, "Do you know what my biggest problem is?" Ye Kai shook his head. Xiao Bieli smiled wryly, "My fault is also that I think too much." Ye Kai stared at him and said, "So you didn't expect him to leave, did you?" Xiao Bieli nodded. Ye Kai showed that needle-like smile again, looked at him and said word by word: "That's why you went to find Lu Xiaojia for him." Xiao Bieli said, "When did you know?" Not only was his expression still calm, but he didn't mean to deny it at all.

Ye Kai asked back: "You don't deny it?" Xiao Bieli smiled lightly and said, "What's the use of denying in front of people like you?" Ye Kai also smiled, not as brightly as usual, as if he felt sorry for this person. Xiao Bieli sighed, and said sadly: "Maybe I did go the wrong way." Ye Kai said: "But you don't seem like a person who is easy to go astray at all." Xiao Bieli said: "There is only one reason for going the right way, but there are many reasons for going the wrong way." Ye Kai said: "Oh?" Xiao Bieli said: "Everyone who goes wrong has his reasons." Ye Kai said: "What is your reason?" Xiao Bieli said: "The path I took may not have been chosen by myself." There was a look of confusion and pain in his eyes, as if he was staring into the distance, and after a long time, he slowly continued: "Maybe some people have been on this road since they were born, so they have no other way to go. " Xiao Bieli showed that sad smile again, and said, "Even I don't know whether this is my luck or my misfortune." Ye Kai did not speak, this sentence is not something anyone can answer. Xiao Bieli said: "No one can deny that my late father was a genius in the martial arts world. His profound and miraculous martial arts are still unmatched by anyone." Ye Kai also had to admit it. Xiao Bieli said: "In his life, he has been male and female, evil and righteous. Some people respectfully call him a thousand-faced man god, while others call him a thousand-faced devil. No one knows what kind of person he is. .” Ye Kai said: "What about you?" Xiao Bieli said: "I don't know either. I only know that although he has passed on everything he has learned in his life to me, he also left me with a burden." Ye Kai said: "What burden?" Xiao Bieli said: "Hatred." He said these two words very slowly, as if it took a lot of effort to say them. Ye Kai understands this feeling, perhaps no one understands how heavy a burden hatred is than him. Xiao Bieli said: "Until now, people in Jianghu still don't know whether he is dead or not. Some people say that he has gone to the east, and some even say that he has become an immortal." Ye Kai said: "Actually?" Xiao Bieli said sadly: "Actually, of course he is already dead." Ye Kai couldn't help asking: "How did you die?" Xiao Bieli said: "Die by the sword." Ye Kai said: "Whose knife?" Xiao Bieli suddenly raised his head, stared at him, and said, "You should know whose sword it is! Few people's swords in this world can kill him!" Ye Kai was silent.He can only be silent, because he really knows whose knife it is! Xiao Bieli said coldly: "It is said that Bai Daxia is also a genius in the martial arts world. It is said that his sword skills are not only unique in the martial arts world, but also unprecedented." There was hatred sharper than a blade in his voice, he sneered and said, "But what about his character? He..." Ye Kai immediately interrupted him again, saying: "You have no right to criticize his behavior, because you hate him." Xiao Bieli said: "You are wrong, I don't hate him, I don't recognize him at all." Ye Kai said: "But you want to kill him." Xiao Bieli said: "I really want to kill him, even at any price, do you know what that is for?" Ye Kai shook his head.Even if he knew, he could only shake his head. Xiao Bieli said: "Because hatred is different from love, hatred is not innate, if someone also entrusts you with the burden of hatred, you will understand." Ye Kai said: "But..." Xiao Bieli interrupted him, saying: "Fu Hongxue will definitely understand, because the reason is the same as he wants to kill Ma Kongqun." He sighed, and continued: "Fu Hongxue doesn't recognize Ma Kongqun either, but he must be killed!" Ye Kai finally nodded and sighed, "So that night, you also went to Plum Blossom Temple." Xiao Bieli's gaze seemed to be far away again, and he murmured and sighed, "The snow was so heavy that night..." Ye Kai's eyes flashed like blades, he stared at him and said, "Do you still remember what happened that night very clearly?" Xiao Bieli said sadly: "I wanted to forget it, but unfortunately I couldn't." Ye Kai said: "Because your legs were cut off that night." Xiao Bieli looked at his broken leg and said calmly: "There are few people in the world whose knives can cut off my leg." Ye Kai said: "Although he cut off your leg, he spared your life." Xiao Bieli said: "It's not him who left my life, but the heavy snowfall." Ye Kai said: "Heavy snow?" Xiao Bieli said: "It's because of the snow that froze my broken leg, so I can live till now, otherwise I'd be dead." Ye Kai said: "So you can't forget that snow!" Xiao Bieli said: "I can't forget that knife either." An indescribable look of fear suddenly appeared in his eyes, and that thrilling bloody battle seemed to come back to him again. White snow, red blood... the blood flowed on the snow, and the white snow was dyed red.The light of the knife also seemed to be red, wherever the light of the knife went, a red mist immediately splashed there. There were beads of sweat on Xiao Bieli's forehead, it was cold sweat.After a long time, he sighed and said: "Those who have not seen it with their own eyes will never imagine how terrifying that knife is. Most of the top martial arts masters died by his knife." Ye Kai immediately asked: "Do you know who those people are?" Xiao Bieli didn't know.No one knows except Ma Kongqun himself. Xiao Bieli said: "I only know that none of those people don't hate him." Ye Kai said: "Could it be that everyone has a grudge against him?" Xiao Bieli sneered: "Even if I don't have the right to criticize his people, at least I have the right to criticize his sword!" The fear in his eyes became stronger, he clenched his fists, and continued with a rattling sound: "That knife shouldn't be in the hands of a mortal with flesh and blood, that knife can only be made in the eighteenth hell magic knife." Ye Kai said: "Are you afraid of that knife?" Xiao Bieli said: "I am a human being, I have to be afraid." Ye Kai said: "So now you are also afraid of Fu Hongxue, because you think the knife is in his hands now." Xiao Bieli said: "Unfortunately, this is not his luck." Ye Kai said: "Oh?" Xiao Bieli said: "Because that is a magic knife, it brings only death and misfortune to people!" His voice suddenly became very mysterious, like some kind of curse from hell. Ye Kai couldn't help shivering, forced a smile and said, "But he didn't die." Xiao Bieli said: "Although he is not dead yet, his whole life has undoubtedly been buried on this knife. He will no longer be happy when he is alive, because he only has hatred in his heart and nothing else!" Ye Kai stood up suddenly, turned around and walked over, and opened the window.He seemed to suddenly feel that the place was very stuffy, suffocating. Xiao Bieli looked at his back, suddenly smiled, and said, "Do you know that I have always suspected you!" Ye Kai didn't answer, nor did he look back. The night outside the window is like ink. Xiao Bieli said: "I want you to kill Ma Kongqun, originally to test you." Ye Kai said: "Oh?" Xiao Bieli said: "But I didn't come up with the idea. There were indeed three people upstairs that night." Ye Kaidao: "The other one is Ma Kongqun!" Xiao Bieli said, "That's him." Ye Kaidao: "Ding Qiu was also one of the assassins outside the Plum Blossom Temple that night?" Xiao Bieli sneered, "He's not enough, he's just a money-grubbing hunchback." Ye Kai said: "So you bought him." Xiao Bieli said: "But we didn't buy you. I didn't even think that you would tell Ma Kongqun about it. The price I paid was not small." Ye Kai said coldly: "That price is indeed enough to buy many people, but it's a pity that those people have now become dead." Xiao Bieli said: "Their deaths are not pitiful, nor is it a pity." Ye Kai said, "It's a pity that Fu Hongxue is not dead?" Xiao Bieli said coldly: "That's not a pity, because I know that sooner or later, he will die by the sword." Ye Kai said, "Where's Ma Kongqun?" Xiao Bieli said, "Do you think Fu Hongxue can find him?" Ye Kai said: "You think you can't find it?" Xiao Bieli said: "He was originally a wolf, but now he has turned into a fox. A fox is not easy to find, and it is also very difficult to kill." Ye Kaidao: "The owner of the fur shop must not agree with what you said." Xiao Bieli said, "Why?" Ye Kai said: "If there is no dead fox, where did those fox fur robes come from?" Xiao Bieli was speechless. Ye Kai said: "Don't forget that there are hunting dogs in the world, and hunting dogs have noses." Xiao Bieli sneered again: "Even if Fu Hongxue has a nose like a hound, but now I'm afraid he can only smell the fragrance of makeup on women." Ye Kai said: "Is it because of Cui Nong?" Xiao Bieli nodded. Ye Kai said: "Cui Nong is beside him, so he can't find Ma Kongqun?" Xiao Bieli said calmly: "Don't forget that women usually like jewelry, not fox fur robes." This time Ye Kai was speechless. Xiao Bieli suddenly laughed again, and said, "Actually, whether Fu Hongxue was able to find Ma Kongqun, what does it have to do with me? What does it have to do with you?" Ye Kai remained silent for a long time, and then slowly said word by word: "It's only a little bit related." Xiao Bieli said, "What's the relationship?" Ye Kai turned around suddenly, stared at him, and said slowly: "Why don't you ask me who I am?" Xiao Bieli said: "I have asked, and many people have asked." Ye Kai said: "Why don't you ask now?" Xiao Bieli said: "Because I already know that your name is Ye Kai, the leaf of the leaf, happy to open." Ye Kai said: "But what kind of person is Ye Kai?" Xiao Bieli smiled and said, "It seems to me that he is a very nosy person." Ye Kai suddenly smiled and said, "You were wrong this time." Xiao Bieli said, "Oh?" Ye Kai said: "I am not in charge of idle business." Xiao Bieli said, "No?" Ye Kai said: "Absolutely not!" Xiao Bieli looked at him for a long time, then suddenly asked: "Who are you?" Ye Kai laughed again, and said, "I know you will ask this question again." Xiao Bieli said, "You really know too much." Ye Kai said: "You know too little." Xiao Bieli sneered.Ye Kai came over suddenly, bent down, and whispered a few words in his ear.He spoke very softly, except for Xiao Bieli, no one could hear what he was saying. After Xiao Bieli only heard one sentence, the smile on his face suddenly froze. When Ye Kai finished speaking, every muscle in his body seemed to be stiff. The wind blows in from the window, and the lights flicker. The flickering lights shone on his face, which seemed to have turned into another person's face.When he looked at Ye Kai, his eyes seemed to be looking at another person. No one could describe the look on his face.It wasn't just surprise, it wasn't just fear, it was collapse... Only a person who had completely collapsed would have this expression on his face. Ye Kai was also looking at him, and said lightly: "Have you admitted it now?" Xiao Bieli let out a long sigh, and his whole body seemed to shrink suddenly. After a long time, he sighed and said, "I do know too little, I am indeed wrong." Ye Kai also sighed, and said: "I said, everyone will inevitably make mistakes." Xiao Bieli nodded miserably, and said: "Now I finally understand what you mean. Although it is too late, at least it is better than never understanding." He lowered his head, looked at the dominoes on the table, smiled wryly and said, "I thought it could really tell me a lot, but who knew it didn't tell me anything." The dominoes were shining under the lamp, and he stretched out his hand to stroke them lightly. Ye Kai looked at the domino in his hand and said, "No matter what, it has been with you for many years." Xiao Bieli sighed: "It has indeed relieved me a lot of loneliness. Without it, life would be even more difficult, so even though it lied to me, I don't blame it." Ye Kai said: "Having someone to lie to you is at least better than being completely lonely." Xiao Bieli smiled sadly: "You really understand, so I always feel that being able to talk with you is a pleasant thing no matter what." Ye Kai said: "Thank you." Xiao Bieli said: "So I really want to keep you with me, but it's a pity that I also know that you will never." He smiled wryly, sighed, and suddenly made a move to grab Ye Kai's wrist. His movements were always so graceful, so deliberate.But this movement suddenly became as fast as lightning, so fast that almost no one could dodge it. His fingertips almost touched Ye Kai's wrist.He only heard a "click", and something was crushed by him, smashed! But that wasn't Ye Kai's wrist, but the domino box on the table.At that instant, Ye Kai replaced his wrist with this box. It was a fine and strong box, made of the hardest and dryest wood. This kind of wood was definitely much stronger than anyone's bones, but in his hands, it suddenly turned into rotten cheese and turned into powder. Sawdust fell from his fingers like powder.Ye Kai's person is already three feet away. After a long time, Xiao Bieli raised his head and said coldly, "You have two skillful hands." Ye Kai smiled and said, "So I really want to keep it on my wrist." Xiao Bieli said: "You must have a nose like a hound." Ye Kai said: "You can't pinch your nose, especially your hands." After handling iron-cast dominoes for more than ten years, no matter what is in these hands, it will become unbearable. Xiao Bieli said: "Are you really unwilling to stay with me?" Ye Kai said with a smile: "This pair of dominoes has been with you for more than ten years, but you still crushed its case. Isn't it chilling?" Xiao Bieli sighed again, and murmured: "It seems that you are really a heartless person." He jumped up suddenly, using the iron crutch in his left hand as the center of the circle, he swept out the iron crutch in his right hand. No one can describe the power of this sweep.Such a large room is now almost completely covered by the power of his iron crutch. Sweeping out with this crutch, it was as if a gust of wind suddenly blew up in the room! Ye Kai's people have already reached the roof beam. As soon as he hooked the roof beam with his toes, Xiao Bieli suddenly turned over in the air again, raising both crutches.Dozens of cold stars shot out from Tieguai like a torrential rain. Heartbroken needle!His heart-breaking needle turned out to come from the iron crutch, he didn't have to move his hand at all, no wonder no one could see it. No one can dodge every heartbroken needle.Now the heartbroken needle he issued is enough to kill thirty people! But Ye Kai happened to be the thirty-first person. His people suddenly disappeared. When his people reappeared, the heartbroken needle was gone. Xiao Bieli had sat down on his chair again, as if he was still looking for the heartbroken needle that no longer existed. He can't believe it.Over the decades, he has only missed one heartbroken needle—the one outside the Plum Blossom Nunnery. He never believed there was a second time.But now he couldn't believe it. Ye Kai fluttered down, sat down opposite him again, and stared at him quietly. The house was calm again, no wind, no needles, as if nothing had happened. After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Bieli finally sighed and said, "I remember someone asked you something, and now I want to ask you too." Ye Kai said: "You ask." Xiao Bieli stared at him, and said word by word: "Are you a person? Are you a person?" Ye laughed.He always feels very happy when someone asks him this sentence, because it means that he has done something that no one else can do. Of course Xiao Bieli would not wait for his reply, and said again: "I shot you three times just now, and no one could dodge them." Ye Kai said: "I know." Xiao Bieli said: "But you didn't fight back even once." Ye Kai said: "Why should I fight back? You want me to die, not I want you to die." Xiao Bieli said, "What do you want?" Ye Kai said: "It's not good. You can still open your brothel here, touch your dominoes, and drink your wine." Xiao Bieli clenched his fists tightly again, the corners of his eyes suddenly contracted, and he said slowly: "I was able to do this before because I had a purpose, because I wanted to protect Ma Kongqun, and I wanted to wait for that person to come and kill him!" His face was contorted with pain, and he said in a squeaky voice, "Now I have nothing to think about, how can I live like this!" Ye Kai let out a breath and said lightly: "That's your own business, you should ask yourself." He stood up with a smile, turned around and walked out. He didn't walk fast, but he didn't look back, and he didn't stop. No one in the world can keep him here now. But Xiao Bieli could only stay here. He has nowhere to go. Seeing Ye Kai walk out of the door, his body suddenly trembled like a child who just woke up from a nightmare. He had just woken up from a nightmare, but it was more painful than in the nightmare. The night is deeper and quieter.There was no one, no sound, only the domino was still looking at him under the lamp. He suddenly grabbed the domino and threw it hard. When the dominoes were thrown, his tears were already falling... If a person has no reason to live, even if he is still alive, it is no different from death. This is the saddest thing for a person. Never bigger. The dawn has faintly appeared in the east.The darkness will eventually pass, and the light will always come sooner or later. Under the blue-gray sky, the fireworks are no longer visible; no matter how fierce the fire is, it will always go out. The firefighters had returned, and Ye Kai stood on the hillside, looking at the scorched earth in front of him. Although he felt a little regretful in his heart, he didn't feel sad.Because he knows that the earth will never be destroyed, just like life. There will always be life in the universe!The earth also exists forever. He knew that it wouldn't be long before life would grow out of this scorched earth again. beautiful life. There seemed to be another beautiful distant view in front of his eyes, a piece of green. At this time, there was a faint ringing of bells in the wind, the ringing was clear and pleasant, and so was the laughter. Ding Linglin had already led the child towards him, and said with a smile like a silver bell: "This time you are really keeping your word, unexpectedly you came first." Ye Kai smiled and looked at the child. Seeing this child's face full of life, he knew that his beliefs were always right. He walked up and held the child's hand. He wanted to take the child to a place where he would bury the hatred and pain in the child's heart. He hoped that when this child grows up, he will only have love in his heart and no hatred! The reason why this generation suffers is because they hate too much and love too little. As long as their next generation can live a healthy and happy life, their pain will finally be worthwhile. The knife marks on the stele are still there, but the blood and tears have dried up. Ye Kai took the child's hand and knelt down in front of the stele. "This is your father's brother. You must always remember that you must not become enemies with the descendants of this family." "I'll remember." "You swore to never forget?" "I swear." Ye laughed, laughing never so happily. "I know you're a good boy." "I want to find my father and my sister, will you take me there?" "Of course I will take you there." "Can you find them?" "You have to remember, as long as you have confidence, there is nothing impossible in the world." The child laughed too. The smile on the child's face is like a herd of horses galloping on the prairie, full of an incomparably beautiful vitality, enough to inspire mankind to move forward. But now the grassland is still sad and desolate. Looking around, the sky is connected to the earth, and the ground is connected to the sky, all gloomy. Will the banner of Wanmatang still be raised here? The wind is howling. Ye Kai strode across the silent long street. These days, he is very familiar with this place, and even has feelings for it, but now he doesn't have the kind of parting feelings that are harder to break than the wind. Because he knows he will come back!
