Chapter 6 The sixth time is not the end

There are many things in the world that you always think are absolutely impossible to happen, but it happens. And it happened to you. By the time you discover this fact, it is often too late. The night was getting dark. They didn't light a lamp, so they hugged quietly in the darkness. Is there anything in the world sweeter and happier than lovers embracing in the dark? Their happiness doesn't really begin until now. Unfortunately, the beginning is often the end. Shuangshuang's heart is full of happiness and tranquility, and the world seems to be filled with happiness and tranquility.

The wind blows through the window, carrying the aroma of rice and wheat in the fields. Harvest time is almost here. She stroked his face lightly, with infinite pity and tenderness on her fingertips, and said softly, "You've lost weight." Gao Li smiled and said, "I will gain weight soon." Shuang Shuang Yanran said: "I like you to be fatter, tomorrow I will stew the hoof for you." Gao Li said: "Tomorrow we are going out." Shuangshuang said: "Go out? Where are you going?" Gao Li said, "Go and find Xiaoqiu." Shuang Shuang's face glowed, and said, "You want to take me with you?"

Gao Li said, "Of course, I'll take you to see his child." Shuangshuang said happily: "He has a child?" Gao Li said softly: "We will have children too." Both blushed, and the whole body was full of longing for future happiness.This feeling made her feel like she was about to fly. After a long time, she asked softly, "Have you seen his wife?" Gao Li said: "No, I left in a hurry." Shuang Shuang said: "I believe that she must be a very good woman, because he is also a good man." Gao Lidao: "Not only is he a good man, he is also a good friend."

He sighed, and continued: "Except for him, no one will lend me the peacock feather." Shuangshuang said: "What exactly is a peacock feather?" Gao Li said: "It's a hidden weapon—but it's not exactly a hidden weapon." Both said: "I don't understand." Gao Lidao: "It's also hard for me to explain. In short, its significance and value are much higher than any hidden weapon in the world. No matter who owns it, it will become another person." Shuang Shuang said: "Become another person?" Gao Li nodded and said, "Become more authoritative and confident."

He smiled, and continued: "If I didn't have it, maybe I wouldn't be Ma Feng's opponent." Shuang Shuang said: "I still don't understand." Gao Li said: "You will never understand, not even myself." Shuangshuang hesitated, and finally couldn't help but said: "I... can I touch it?" Gao Li smiled: "Of course you can, but you must not press those two buttons, otherwise..." His voice suddenly stopped, his smile froze suddenly, and his whole body seemed to be frozen by ice, as if he suddenly stepped on the ground and fell into the glacier from the cliff.

The peacock feathers had disappeared! Shuangshuang couldn't see his face, but suddenly felt that his whole body was shaking. He had never been so panic-stricken in his life. It never occurred to him that such a thing could happen to him. Shuangshuang quietly left his embrace. She didn't ask him what happened, because she could already feel and imagine. It's just that she still doesn't fully understand how serious the matter is. No one can really understand how serious this is. Gao Li sat motionless in the darkness, as if his whole body had been buried underground. Then he rushed out in a sudden frenzy.

Shuangshuang was waiting for him in the dark. She knew that he must have gone to the place where Ma Feng's body was buried, and she hoped he could find it. She only prayed that no more ominous misfortune should befall them. But for some reason, there was an ominous omen in her heart, and tears were already shed. The wind blows, and the sound of the wind seems to have turned into a weeping. After some time, she finally heard his footsteps. The footsteps were slow and heavy. Her heart sank, she quietly wiped away her tears, and couldn't help but ask, "Did you find it?"

Gao Li said: "No." His voice was hoarse with panic and fear. Listening to this, Shuang Shuang felt as if her heart was being pricked by a needle, and said softly, "Can't you think of when it fell?" Gao Li gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to bite his own throat. He had never hated himself so much. Shuangshuang didn't comfort him, because she knew that no matter what kind of comfort she had now, it would be useless. She could think of ways to induce his thoughts, so she tried to say: "When you came back, Peacock Ling was no longer with you?" Gao Li said, "Yes."

Shuangshuang said: "You haven't touched it." Gao Li said: "I... I didn't expect it to fall." Of course he couldn't think of it. All tragedies and misfortunes happen under unexpected circumstances. Shuangshuang couldn't help but said: "When you killed Ma Feng, you didn't have peacock feathers on your body?" Gao Li said: "It must be gone, otherwise it must have fallen nearby." Shuang Shuang said: "You don't have peacock feathers on you, but you still killed him." Gao Li clenched his fists tightly. Only now did he realize that even without Peacock Ling, he still had the power to kill Ma Feng.

It's a pity that he only realized now that it was too late. Shuang Shuang sighed and said, "Where did you see it last?" Gao Li pondered, and said, "In the car." He also touched it in the car, the smooth and solid feeling made his whole body hot with excitement. Then he relaxed completely, because there was nothing in the world to worry about. Shuang Shuang said: "Could it have fallen from the car?" Gao Li said: "Very likely." Shuang Shuang said: "Where is that car?" Gao Li said: "It's gone." Shuang Shuang said: "Where did you hire the car?"

Gao Li said: "On the way." Shuang Shuang said: "Have you noticed what kind of car that is?" Gao Li said: "No." Shuangshuang said: "Didn't you see the driver clearly?" Gao Li lowered his head and clenched his fists, his nails piercing into the flesh. He was so happy and excited at that time that he didn't notice other people or other things at all. The most unfortunate thing is that in order not to be found his whereabouts, he changed cars twice on the road. Shuangshuang's heart sank again, she knew that they might never be able to get back that peacock feather. The more precious something a person loses, the harder it is often to get it back. Whether you lose peacock feathers or emotions, the result is often the same. Shuangshuang barely held back the tears in her eyes, and said softly: "What are you going to do now?" Gao Li said: "I... I don't know." Shuang Shuang said: "Of course you have to tell him." Gao Li said: "Of course." Shuang Shuang said: "No matter what, this is not a mistake you made intentionally, maybe he will forgive you..." Gao Li said sadly: "He will never... If it were me, he would never forgive him." Shuang Shuang said: "Why?" Gao Li sighed and said: "You may never understand how important peacock feathers are to them, but I do." Shuang Shuang said: "Maybe... Maybe we can think of a way to compensate him." Gao Li said: "There is no way." His voice was even more bitter, and suddenly he continued: "Maybe there is only one way." Shuangshuang's face suddenly twisted with fear. She already understood what he meant. When a person makes an irreparable and unforgivable mistake, there is usually only one way to atone for it. die! She couldn't help rushing over to him, hugged him tightly, and whispered: "You must not go this way." Gao Li said sadly, "What other way can I go?" Shuangshuang said: "We can go...to go somewhere else and never see him again." Gao Li suddenly pushed her away. It was the first time in his life that he pushed her away from his arms. He didn't use too much force, but Shuang Shuang only felt that he was pushing her whole body down. She couldn't help but said, "You...why are you doing this?" Gritting his teeth, Gao Li said word by word: "I never thought, never thought you would ask me to do such a thing." Shuang Shuang said: "But he..." Gao Li interrupted her, and said: "I have killed people, even killed many people who should not be killed, and done many things that should not be done, but I have never betrayed my friends." With a hoarse voice, he continued, "Maybe it's just because I never had a friend, and I only have one friend like this." Both lowered their heads, tears gushed out again like springs. Gao Li continued slowly: "I know I can't die, for you, for us, I can't die, so I tried everything to survive, but this time..." Shuangshuang hissed: "This time, can't you..." Gao Li interrupted her again, and said: "This time is different, because I understand the value of Peacock Ling to them, and I also understand how difficult it is under such a difficult situation and what danger he took to hand over Peacock Ling to him. Mine. No one in this world has ever trusted me like him, so I must not betray him, and I will not betray him even if I die. " Biting her lips, Shuangshuang said, "So you must tell him about it." Gao Li said: "Definitely." There was determination and courage in his voice. This kind of courage is real courage. Shuangshuang lowered her head, and after a long time, she said softly: "I thought you would do anything for me." Gao Li said, "This is the only exception." Shuang Shuang said: "I understand, so... Although I am very sad, I am also very happy." Her voice suddenly became very calm, and she continued slowly: "Because I didn't misunderstand you after all, you are really a man worthy of my pride." Gao Li's clenched fists were slowly loosened, and finally he bent down again and hugged her. After a long time, he sighed sadly: "This time I know that I did nothing wrong, I can't do any more mistakes, and now I only feel sorry for one person...I'm sorry for you." Shuangshuang said softly: "You didn't feel sorry for me, because you are me, and I am you." Gao Li didn't say anything more, this sentence was enough to represent everything. You are me and I am you. No matter what kind of disaster and misfortune, it should be borne by two people together. What can you say if you have a wife like this? dark.There was no starlight, no moonlight, and it was terribly dark. They hugged quietly in the darkness, waiting for the dawn. They seem to live in darkness forever in this life, but they still feel happier than most people. Because they already have true love in their lives, a true love that can never be replaced by anything. So their lives have value. This is the most important point. Autumn is deep. The leaves have begun to wither, especially when the wind blows, the autumn feeling is a little deeper. But autumn is still beautiful. A desolate and touching beauty, as thick as wine. If you stand here, you will be drunk if you don't drink. Gao Li stood here, under the tree, waiting. He really didn't have the courage to meet Qiu Fengwu's family. He could already imagine how big this blow was to Peacock Villa. Qiu Fengwu may appear at any time, and someone has already reported it.Two peacocks wandered slowly in the maple forest, combing their beautiful feathers with their beaks. The maple leaves are red. Gao Li stood there stupidly, staring at it stupidly, his heart ached.He really didn't know what to say when he faced Qiu Fengwu. He hardly had the courage to wait any longer. There were already footsteps on the grass, but he didn't dare to turn around and face him. He felt a hand on his shoulder, a steady, friendly hand. A steady and friendly voice. "You are here, and I know you will be here soon." He has no choice but to look back. Then he saw Qiu Fengwu's smile - a gentle and friendly smile. The sting in his heart became more intense. This eternal friendship suddenly became like a needle, as if it had pierced his heart to the point of bleeding. Qiu Fengwu smiled and said, "You seem very tired." Gao Li nodded. Not only was he tired, he was about to collapse. Qiu Fengwu said: "Actually, you don't need to rush here." Gao Li said: "I..." Just as he was about to say it, it was as if a pair of invisible hands were strangling his throat. Qiu Fengwu said: "The matter has been resolved?" Gao Li nodded again. Qiu Fengwu said: "You didn't use peacock feathers?" Gao Li shook his head. Qiu Fengwu smiled and said: "I already knew that you don't need to use it at all, Ma Feng is not your opponent at all." Gao Li said: "But I..." Qiu Fengwu suddenly noticed the strange expression on his face, and immediately asked, "Why did you come here alone? Where's Shuang Shuang?" Gao Li said: "She...she is fine." Qiu Fengwu heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Why doesn't she come to see my child?" Gao Li said: "She...she..." He finally summoned up his courage and said loudly, "She didn't come because she knew I was sorry for you." Qiu Fengwu frowned and said, "Are you sorry for me?... How could you be sorry for me?" Gao Li said: "I have already dropped your peacock feathers." He said this with the greatest courage, and then his whole body seemed to have collapsed. No sound, no response. He couldn't imagine the expression on Qiu Fengwu's face after hearing these words. He no longer dared to face Qiu Fengwu. There was a wind blowing, and the dead leaves fluttered down, one, two, three... The sun is getting lighter, but autumn is getting stronger. Qiu Fengwu still didn't say a word, didn't say a single word. Gao Li finally couldn't help raising his head. Qiu Fengwu stood there like a stone statue, with no expression on his face, but his face was as pale as Qiu Shuang on the top of a tree on a distant mountain. He just stood there quietly, not moving. Fallen leaves drifted over his head and fell to his feet. He didn't move. Fallen leaves drifted past his eyes and hit him in the face. He didn't move, didn't even blink. The sun was setting, and the setting sun was as red as blood. Fenglin was also as red as blood. Then the twilight fell heavily like a net, enveloping him. There was no luster in his face, nor in his eyes. He still didn't move, didn't speak. Gao Li looked at him, wishing he could tear himself apart, cut himself into pieces, and throw pieces into the wind, into the mud, into the fire, and be burned to ashes. If Qiu Fengwu scolded him severely, beat him, or even killed him with a knife, he might feel better. But Qiu Fengwu seemed to be completely numb. He seemed to be completely unable to see, hear, or feel everything in the world. What a terrible shock, what anguish, to make a man like this? Gao Li couldn't help but ask himself: "If I were him, what would happen to me?" He couldn't figure it out. He didn't even dare to think about it. Is Qiu Fengwu also asking himself now, how should he deal with himself? Now he is only waiting for Qiu Fengwu's words. If Qiu Fengwu told him to die, he would die; if he told him to die immediately, he would never live another moment. But Qiu Fengwu didn't speak. Twilight is getting darker, night is coming. An old servant in Tsing Yi came over quietly, bowed and said: "Master, dinner is already served." Qiu Fengwu didn't answer, didn't hear at all. The old servant in Tsing Yi looked at him with melancholy in his eyes, and finally retreated quietly again. Suddenly, like a giant black hand, the night seized the entire land. The wind is colder. Gao Li clenched his teeth and clenched his fists, but he still couldn't help shaking. In order to redeem his sins, he can endure all kinds of humiliation, all kinds of pain, and even the pain of death. But this terrible silence has already driven him mad. He could hardly bear to destroy himself. There was another wind blowing. Qiu Fengwu suddenly raised his head, looked at the fallen leaves in the wind, and said softly, "It's windy today." Gao Li clenched his fists, and after a long time, he nodded slowly and said, "Yes, it's windy today." Qiu Fengwu said: "There is wind every day." Gao Li said: "Yes, there is wind every day." Qiu Fengwu said: "It's good to have wind." Gao Li finally couldn't bear it and said loudly: "What exactly do you want to say? Why didn't you say it?" Qiu Fengwu then turned his head and looked at him. After looking at it for a long time, he let out a long sigh and said, "You are a good friend, I always knew that I could trust you." Gao Liyan said: "You shouldn't trust me." Qiu Fengwu seemed unable to hear what he was saying, and continued slowly: "You promised me to see my child." Gao Li remained silent for a long time, and finally heaved a long sigh, and said, "I promised you." Qiu Fengwu said: "The child is not asleep yet." Gao Li said, "You want me to see him now?" Qiu Fengwu said: "I'll take you there." The grass is also withered and yellow. In spring, there must be green grass here, but now it is thick autumn, a thick and sad autumn. There are lights shining in the distance, as bright as a lover's eyes. But Gao Li couldn't see it. There was only darkness in front of his eyes, and there was only darkness in his heart. Qiu Fengwu walked slowly ahead, his steps monotonous and heavy. Gao Li followed behind. He remembered that he followed Qiu Fengwu like this last time, for a long time and a long way. That was just after he saved Baili Changqing. At that time, although he knew that someone might come to him for revenge at any time, and he knew that there might be a murderous disaster at any time, but he was still very happy in his heart. Because he has saved a man, he has helped others. Because he already has friends. But now? Unintentional mistakes are sometimes more terrible than intentional mistakes. What is this for? Why did God tell him to commit this fatal, unforgivable, irreparable mistake unintentionally. Why wasn't he more careful?Why be so negligent? Looking up suddenly, he was already in the brightly lit place. The lights are brilliant. An old woman with white hair was sitting on a rosewood chair with a gentle and kind smile on her face. "This is my mother." A gentle young woman, dignified and virtuous, is just like a spring flower, and she is as beautiful as a spring flower. Perhaps it was because she was so happy in her heart that she was kind to everyone, especially to her husband's good friend. "This is my wife." A lovely child, with a red face and big eyes, healthy and lively. For him, life has not yet begun, but his life must be happy and enjoyable. Because he has a good family and good parents, he is a person who should enjoy happiness by nature. "This is my child." Gao Li watched and listened with a polite smile on his face. "This is my friend Gao Li, the only best friend in my life." Gao Li's heart seemed to be being pricked by a needle again, and began to bleed again. He could hardly bear it anymore and wanted to run out, he really had no face to face these people. If they knew that he had lost the peacock feather, would they still be so kind to him? Mrs. Qiu was smiling and said: "Fengwu often mentions you, this time you must stay here for a few more days." Gao Li's throat seemed to be blocked, and it took all his strength to force a smile and nodded. Qiu Fengwu's beautiful wife was teasing her child, saying: "Call Uncle Gao, Uncle Gao will buy you candy next time." The child is only one year old, so of course he doesn't know how to call him Uncle Gao, and he doesn't understand what other people say at all. But he can laugh. When he saw Gao Li, he giggled. Everyone laughed. Mrs. Qiu smiled more kindly, and said: "The child likes Uncle Gao, and Uncle Gao will definitely bring a lot of blessings to this child." Gao Li's heart is about to shatter. Only he himself knew that what he brought to this family was not a blessing, but a disaster. Fortunately, Qiu Fengwu didn't ask him to stay. "I'll take him outside to have a look again. This is his first time here, and he hasn't seen many places." Gao Li did not see many places.In fact, he had never been to such a magnificent and majestic place. Seen in the night, this place is closer to the palace in mythology. Qiu Fengwu said: "There are nine courtyards here, most of which were built two hundred and seventy years ago. It took three generations to finally make this place look a bit larger." In fact, this place is far more than a small scale, it seems that this is close to a miracle. Qiu Fengwu said: "This is indeed a miracle. After two wars and fires, this place is still safe and sound." In front of the screen wall in the backyard, there are twelve colored lamps hanging, the brilliant lights illuminating a huge picture on the wall. There are dozens of big men with hideous appearances in the painting, holding various weapons, but their eyes are full of panic and fear. Because the golden cylinder in the hand of a white-faced scholar has emitted rainbow-like light. A more beautiful and brilliant light than a rainbow. Qiu Fengwu said: "This picture is about an event more than a hundred years ago." Gao Li was listening. Qiu Fengwu said: "At that time, in order to destroy this place, the thirty-six demon stars formed a blood alliance and joined forces to attack. The martial arts of these thirty-six people are said to be invincible in the world." Gao Li couldn't help asking, "What happened next?" Qiu Fengwu said indifferently: "None of these thirty-six people can go back alive." He continued: "Since that battle, no one in the Jianghu dared to invade Peacock Villa. The word Peacock Ling has been spread all over the world since then." The lights gradually faded. In this heavy courtyard, there seemed to be an indescribably gloomy and desolate feeling, even the lights seemed to be gloomy. They walked through a dry forest, a clump of mottled bamboo, and a section of Jiuqu bridge before arriving here. It's like another world, another world. The tall house is gloomy and cold. There were more than a hundred long-burning lamps lit in the room, and the gloomy lights looked like will-o'-the-wisps. In front of each lamp, there is a spirit seat. The first thing Gao Li saw was: "The overlord of Taihang, the position of Shanxi Yansun Fu." "The position of Kongtong Mountain Feng Taoist." Gao Li had heard the names of these two people before. Not long ago, they were powerful figures in the world. Qiu Fengwu looked at the rows of spirit seats, with a more serious expression on his face, and said slowly: "These are the people who died under the peacock feathers." In the past three hundred years, less than three hundred people have died under peacock feathers, which obviously shows that peacock feathers are not easy to use. Those who can die under the peacock's feathers, even if they are not the suzerain of a sect, are also extremely masters. Qiu Fengwu said: "The ancestors set up their spiritual seats here in order to fear that their descendants would kill too much, so as to transcend their dead souls. I only hope that their enmity will not be carried on to the next generation." He sighed, and continued: "It's a pity that many of their descendants still want to come here for revenge." Gao Li didn't speak. He was thinking of a very strange and terrible thing. He seems to have seen his own name here. The corridor is long and winding. Gao Li has come to this place once to get peacock feathers. Now why did Qiu Fengwu bring him here again? He didn't ask. No matter where Qiu Fengwu wants to take him, he won't ask. No matter how much he fears fate, he is ready to accept it. There was applause. The twelve ghostly people appeared in the corridor again. Twelve keys open twelve locks. So they walked into the mysterious, gloomy, dark stone room again, just like walking into a tomb. There are two old and clumsy stone chairs in the stone room, covered with dust and moss. Qiu Fengwu said: "Sit." Gao Li sat down. Qiu Fengwu turned around and took out a small altar of sealed wine from between the stone walls. Smash the sealing mud, the wine is fragrant. Qiu Fengwu said: "This is Fen wine that has been in the cellar for a hundred years." Gao Li said: "Good wine." The goblets were also carved in stone, equally old and clumsy. Qiu Fengwu sat down, filled two cups, and said, "You must drink good wine." Gao Li raised his glass and drank it down. Qiu Fengwu stared at him and said, "It's been a long time since we drank together." Gao Li nodded and said, "It's been a long time." Qiu Fengwu sighed softly and said, "Many things have changed over the years." Gao Li listened. Qiu Fengwu said: "But our friendship has not changed." Gao Li filled another cup, raised his head and drank it all. Qiu Fengwu said: "I don't have a brother, but you are my brother." Gao Li gripped the wine glass tightly. If the wine glass was not a stone cup, it would have been crushed long ago. Qiu Fengwu said: "That's why I have to tell you something." Gao Li said, "I'm listening." Qiu Fengwu said: "It must be very hard for you to lose the peacock plume, maybe even worse than me." Gao Li lowered his head, poured out the wine, and drank it all. The fragrant and sweet wine suddenly turned bitter. Qiu Fengwu said: "I understand how you feel. If it were me, I might not dare to come here again." A look of pain appeared on the high facade, and he said slowly: "I have to come because you trust me." Qiu Fengwu said: "Not everyone has such courage. I am really proud to have a friend like you." Gao Li said: "But I..." Qiu Fengwu interrupted him and said, "You also trust me, just like I trust you." Gao Li nodded. The expression on Qiu Fengwu's face suddenly became very strange, and he said word by word: "So you have always believed that peacock feather is real." Gao Li's whole body suddenly tensed up, and he lost his voice: "Isn't that peacock feather real?" Qiu Fengwu said: "No." With a "ding", the wine glass fell to the ground. Gao Li suddenly became like a fish frozen to death in ice. No one can describe his mood at the moment, and no one can describe his expression at the moment. He looked at Qiu Fengwu, as if he saw the rising sun suddenly set and the earth suddenly split. Then he slumped on the stone chair and completely collapsed. It wasn't a collapse of despair, but a collapse of ecstasy, and even tears burst out of my eyes. Certainly not tears of sorrow. He had never been so happy in his life, it was like a death row prisoner who had been sentenced to death and suddenly received amnesty. Qiu Fengwu stared at him, but his eyes were full of pain instead. After a long time, he said slowly: "I told you this because I don't want you to suffer for it." Gao Li kept nodding his head, his heart was really full of gratitude. But he couldn't help but ask: "Where are the real peacock feathers?" Qiu Fengwu said: "It's not true." Gao Li was shocked again, and lost his voice: "It's not true?" Qiu Fengwu said: "No, not at all." He sighed a long time and said with a wry smile: "The real Peacock Ling was lost by my late father on the top of Mount Tai." Gao Li said: "Then...then isn't it many years ago?" Qiu Fengwu nodded and said: "It has indeed been many years, and that was just after the decisive battle between my late father and old Jin Taishan." Gao Li said: "But no one in Jianghu has ever mentioned this matter." Qiu Fengwu said: "Of course not." Gao Li said: "Why?" Qiu Fengwu said: "Because no one ever knew about it, not even me." Gao Li said: "But you..." Qiu Fengwu said: "My late father told me this secret before he died." Gao Li said, "I only told you one person?" Qiu Fengwu said: "I only told one person." Gao Li said: "Me?..." Qiu Fengwu stared at him, and slowly said: "You are the third person who knows about this." The pain in his eyes deepened, and he continued: "When my late father told me this secret, he made me make a solemn oath, asking me to keep this secret until I was about to die before telling my son." Gao Li's expression changed again, and he said, "But you told me." Qiu Fengwu sighed sadly, and said: "Because you are my good friend, I don't want you to feel guilty for this matter for the rest of your life." What a great friendship. Is there anything in the world more precious than this kind of friendship? Gao Li lowered his head. He would rather Qiu Fengwu didn't tell him this secret, he suddenly found that the burden now was even heavier. Qiu Fengwu said: "When you killed Ma Feng, you didn't use peacock feathers." Gao Li said: "At that time, the peacock feather was no longer on me." Qiu Fengwu said: "I already knew that you can kill him without Peacock Ling." Gao Li said: "You already knew?" Qiu Fengwu nodded and said, "I know your martial arts very well, and I also know you very well." Gao Li admitted. He couldn't deny it. Qiu Fengwu said: "With your martial arts, there are very few people in the Jianghu who are your opponents, but you lack confidence, so..." Gao Li said: "That's why you lent me that fake peacock feather." Qiu Fengwu said: "Not bad." Gao Li said: "That's why you told me again and again, never use it unless it is absolutely necessary." Qiu Fengwu said: "I already knew that you don't need it at all." His expression became serious again, and he continued: "The peacock feather is not just a weapon, but a kind of power." Gao Li said, "I heard you say it." Qiu Fengwu said: "Although you don't need to use it, it can give you confidence." Of course Gao Li had to admit it. Qiu Fengwu said: "As long as you have confidence, Ma Feng will never be your opponent." He suddenly changed the subject, and said again: "As long as Peacock Ling exists for a day, no one in the Jianghu would dare to offend Peacock Villa lightly, and the reason is the same." Gao Li said: "I understand the truth." Qiu Fengwu said: "The reputation of Peacock Villa for three hundred years, the foundation of eighty miles, and five hundred lives are actually all built on a small peacock feather." His expression became more serious, and he continued slowly: "If Peacock Ling no longer exists, Peacock Villa will also be destroyed." The reputation of three hundred years, the foundation of eighty miles, and the lives of five hundred people were all destroyed. Of course his happy family must be destroyed. Gao Li suddenly understood why Qiu Fengwu took him to see his family just now. There are also those dead souls who died under the peacock's feathers. If the descendants of these people knew that Peacock Ling no longer existed, they would certainly not let the Qiu family go. The hatred in the hearts of people in the rivers and lakes can never be resolved. Qiu Fengwu sighed and said: "The reputation of a martial arts family like ours is like a very heavy burden. Once you take it, you have to carry it forever." He continued slowly: "I didn't want to take on this burden. I originally thought that the reputation created by the ancestors has nothing to do with their descendants." Gao Li said, "What about now?" Qiu Fengwu suddenly smiled, very sadly, and said: "Now I know that since I was born with the surname Qiu, I have to take up this burden, and I can neither shirk nor evade." With a pensive look on the high facade, he said slowly: "Although this burden is heavy, it is also an honor." In fact, it is not only an honor, but also a sacred responsibility and obligation. "As long as the descendants of Peacock Villa live for one day, they must fight for this responsibility and honor to the end." This is what they exist for. They have no choice at all. Qiu Fengwu focused on Gao Li again, and said slowly: "So I must not let the reputation of Peacock Villa be ruined in my hands." Gao Li's expression suddenly became very calm, as if he had made up his mind. Qiu Fengwu's lips turned white, and he continued: "So I must not let anyone know this secret." Gao Li nodded slowly and said, "I understand." Qiu Fengwu said: "Do you really understand?" Gao Li said: "Really." Qiu Fengwu suddenly stopped talking and didn't dare to look at Gao Li again. His eyes were suddenly filled with sadness and pain, a kind of helpless, irresolvable sadness and pain. Why do people always do things that they don't want to do and can't bear to do? Isn't this also the sorrow and pain of all mankind. There was no wind, but the chill was getting worse. The gloomy lights seem to have completely stopped and condensed, and people's hearts seem to be frozen. "I will let Shuangshuang live well." "certainly." Wine is bitter, very bitter. Now that the wine is in the cup, drink it no matter how bitter it is. Whether it is bitter wine or poisonous wine, you have to drink it. Qiu Fengwu stood up slowly and turned around. He didn't say anything more, but when he walked out the door, he turned around and said, "There is one more thing I forgot to tell you." Gao Li was listening. Qiu Fengwu said: "The alliance of the six northern provinces' bodyguard bureaus has been established, and the leader of the alliance is Baili Changqing." In Gao Li's gloomy eyes, a string of sparks burst out suddenly. A string of brilliant shining sparks. Qiu Fengwu had already walked out. After a long time, Gao Li said slowly: "Thank you, thank you for telling me about this." He really appreciates it. Because he suddenly felt that his life was more meaningful, and he was completely satisfied. He loved and was loved. He has done a very meaningful and valuable thing for others, and he has no regrets in his life. The wine in front of Qiu Fengwu has never been touched. Gao Li also drank the glass of wine. Whether it was bitter wine or poisonous wine, he had to drink it. this is life! There are some things in life, whether you want to do it or not, you must do it. If a person can die peacefully, sometimes it is even more difficult than living peacefully. In the middle of the night, there are no stars and no moon. The wind is so cold. Qiu Fengwu walked out slowly and walked into the yard. The leaves of the banyan tree are falling one by one. He stood quietly for a long time, but he didn't seem to realize that his wife had walked beside him at all.She leaned against him gently, in her mind, the world is always so happy and peaceful, so she always hopes that others are also happy. After a long time, she asked softly, "Where's your friend?" "gone." "Leave? Why are you leaving?" Qiu Fengwu didn't answer, but bent down and picked up a fallen leaf. He stared at the fallen leaves, his eyes full of helpless pain and sadness. Why are the leaves willing to be blown down by the wind? Isn't a person's life sometimes just like this fallen leaf? This story also teaches us a lesson. The real victory is not something you can win with weapons, but you must use your confidence. No matter how terrible a weapon is, it cannot compare with the confidence of human beings. So the second weapon I'm talking about is not peacock feathers, but confidence!
