Chapter 38 Thirty-eighth life and death

The mournful voice of "Fairy Leng Yue" is resounding in the secret passage. She said softly: "Forget it, why did you do this? Can't the resentment from forty years ago be resolved today? What's more, he...he already knew he was wrong!" Pei Jue involuntarily lightened her steps, only to hear her continue: "He endured the pain and humiliation that no one can bear, and it's not for you. These things, can't they make up for his childhood mistakes? You shouldn't push him to nowhere! Right? You ...You... don't you really have the heart to kill our own brother?"

The mournful voice is like the wail of a cuckoo at dusk. Pei Jue felt a heavy sadness welling up in his heart. His steps were lighter, lighter. The sad voice was slightly interrupted, and then continued: "Zhongren, you have endured so much, can't you bear some more? No matter what, you are always wrong? You always feel sorry for him first, don't you?" The weeping in the voice is getting heavier: "I know... it's all for me, without me, you could have... endured a little more; but, you know, I'm human too, I... I... how can I witness these things? I can Immediately die in front of you, but...but I can't bear to see any of you die at the hands of the other party, blood..."

Her voice paused slightly, and only the lingering sound of the word "blood" was swaying and rippling in the gloomy tunnel... She sobbed and said: "Blood, after all, is thicker than water! Please... let go of your hands together, okay?" Pei Jue didn't even dare to breathe. He took one step at a time and finally reached the end. The light was still dim, and he moved his eyes with difficulty, moving to the horrific and unbearable scene. Unexpectedly, at the moment when his eyes moved. The person on the left, with a face as firm as a stone statue, suddenly underwent a change, an extremely slight, almost imperceptible change.

However, after this slight and imperceptible change, his tightly clasped palms suddenly loosened!Let go! "Fairy Leng Yue"'s complexion changed terribly, and she shouted: "Zhong Ren——" Before he finished drinking, a smile suddenly flashed across the face of the person on the right, and his tightly clasped palms also parted outward... The sharp sword edge pierced into the chest with a puff - almost at the same instant, it pierced into the chests of both of them. The bright red blood splashed - the blood of each other splashed on the other person. Their blood exchanged, and their bodies were close together. They would never see Ai Qing's weeping and laughing again. Only her sharp and miserable cry at this moment will remain in their ears forever. Accompany them till eternity...

The beating of the atrium of the one on the left stopped. He is the elder brother. He started his life a moment earlier than the other person, and he also ended his life a moment earlier than the other person! The eyelids of the person on the right have dropped, and there is still a voice in his throat! "He...after all...after all...he loves...me...!" This burst of thin, gossamer-like voice eventually disappeared along with his life! The fight stopped!Life is over! Love, hatred, kindness, and resentment are finally freed forever! All entanglements and entanglements are difficult to resolve, and the engraved hatred, pain and joy, all bow their heads humbly in front of "death".

Only blood, still dripping. However, the blood of the two of them had already dripped into one place at this moment, fused together thickly, and it was difficult to decompose again. The strange and brilliant life of these two brothers, the glorious and painful life, started almost at the same time; at this moment, it also ended so sadly and tragically at the same time! "Fairy Leng Yue" is not a fairy after all, at this moment, her soul and emotions seem to have become numb! Her sharp cry was still rippling in the tunnel, rippling in Pei Jue's ears!He watched helplessly the end of this tragedy, unable to stop it, at a loss, because he didn't know the beginning of this tragedy—when did it start?Why start?

He stood there numbly until Ai Qing wailed again and threw herself on both of them. The colorful stalactites are still flashing colorfully. Besides this ruthless rock, who else can so cruelly ignore people's life and death? Standing on the ground, Pei Jue could only feel the silence around him, and even the original weeping had gradually disappeared, and he couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart! "The 'Leng Yue Fairy' who is so sad, why didn't she cry?" After all, he is extremely wise, knowing that there are only two answers to this question: Either the intense sorrow has completely numb her, or she has no need to mourn because she has made up her mind and has the intention of dying. .

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help being terrified, and even the depths of his soul trembled. He couldn't help walking, and said in a trembling voice: "Ai Qing...you..." "Fairy Leng Yue" turned her head slowly. Although her pale face was covered with tears, her bright gaze was firm. She glanced at Pei Jue lightly, and said slowly: "Jue'er, we finally meet again!" This sentence should have been said a long time ago, but she didn't say it until now, and the meaning in it is quite different. Pei Jue sighed secretly, and said slowly: "These days, you...you..."

He wanted to ask: "How are you?" But at this moment, he suddenly remembered that there was no need to ask this question. He just sighed secretly, and changed his words: "A few months ago, I saw..." Ai Qing nodded slowly, cut off his words, and said: "I know, I told them to go, Jue'er... You should know that I have always liked you, because there are so few kind people in this world." Pei Jue suppressed the sorrow in his heart, but the sorrow accumulated in his chest was like a heavy rock, which made him speechless. Under the colorful lights, "Fairy Leng Yue" suddenly smiled softly. This sad smile was more touching than crying.

With this smile, she took another look at Pei Jue carefully, and said slowly: "I'm glad to see you again, you... have changed a lot, grown up a lot, now, you look like a man, not a child anymore, alas... to see you grow up Being an adult is really a good thing.” Her gaze wandered towards the darkness in the distance, what a sad, sad, yet beautiful and moving gaze, as deep as sea water, as bright as crystal stars! Pei Jue lowered his head and said in a low voice, "You can see me often in the future..." He paused for a moment, then changed his words suddenly: "I...can I pull out the steel needle on your body for you?"

Ai Qing's gaze was still fixed on the distance, as if she hadn't heard his words; she seemed to have been immersed in the joy and pain of the past, for a long time, she sighed softly, and said: "You've grown into an adult now, I don't know if you still listen to me like before?" Pei Jue said anxiously, "Whatever you want me to do, I...I will definitely do it." Ai Qing smiled again, and said: "Really? Then... you kneel down and swear to me three things. No matter what, you have to do what I say, and you can never change it!" If someone else said this to Pei Jue, he would definitely consider it, because he was afraid that others would teach him to do something he didn't want to do. However, Ai Qing seemed to have a mysterious power. Without thinking about it, Pei Jue gently knelt down and said loudly: "I—Pei Jue, if...if..." He really wouldn't swear, Ai Qing said softly: "If you don't follow Ai Qing's words, you will... be struck by lightning from the sky, and you will never be able to recover!" Pei Jue said loudly: "That's it. If Pei Jue doesn't follow Ai Qing's advice, he will be struck by lightning, and he will never recover!" Standing up anxiously, he asked, "What's the matter?" Ai Qing sighed quietly: "First thing, from now on, in your lifetime, never cheat any girl, never make any girl sad, whether you love her or not, as long as she treats you well, you should protect her well Look at her, no matter what the reason is, don't let her be hurt by others, do you promise?" Pei Jue immediately said: "I would never let a girl who treats me well be hurt by others." A gleam of intense sorrow flashed in Ai Qing's eyes, and he said slowly: "It's easy to say, but in fact... well, it's very difficult, because there are always so many strange reasons in the world that make you have to hurt someone who loves you!" Pei Jue straightened his chest and said, "No, I never will." Ai Qing nodded comfortingly and said: "Good boy, remember today's words... the second thing, I want you to stay with me in this cave for three days, no matter what pain you suffer, don't leave. Alas... it will be three very painful days, because the darkness, Hunger, thirst, and fatigue, the greatest enemies of mankind since ancient times, are coming soon, can you bear these pains? Will you agree?" Pei Jue nodded and said: "I promise, I can bear any pain." He suddenly thought of "Lenggu Shuangmu" who was waiting outside, and felt a little apologetic in his heart. "Fairy Leng Yue" sighed softly: "My dear boy, I know you can suffer for me; but I promise you that you will be repaid tenfold for all that you have endured." Pei Jue said loudly: "I don't want any compensation, I...I..." Ai Qing smiled sadly, her eyes filled with comfort and appreciation, she murmured: "I can do my last bit for this child, let him be a good man, and bring glory to the martial arts. I should be able to laugh when I die, right?" Her voice was vague, and Pei Jue said, "What did you say?" "Fairy Cold Moon" Ai Qing said: "Before I say the third thing, I'm going to tell you a story, but you can never tell it again, I just... I just have to tell the story, alas... God is kind after all, He let me see you at this hour." She stood up slowly, and made the flame in the copper lamp smaller, so her bleeding face became even more miserable. She whispered to herself softly: "If the flame is smaller, it will last longer. Life... Isn't life the same? Any kind of strong brilliance will not last long, unless..." She suddenly glanced at Pei Jue: "Unless he has a kind heart..." So she slowly took out a scarf, gently wiped away the blood on the faces of the two dead martial artists, and wrapped their arms around each other's shoulders tighter. Then, she sat down again, facing Pei Jue, and began her story: "Once upon a time, there was an ordinary woman, whether it was luck or misfortune, she gave birth to a pair of twin children, extraordinary children, her ordinary life seemed to exist solely for the purpose of fulfilling this mission, because she gave birth to The pair of children died immediately." "The seasons change, the years pass by, and the two children gradually grow up. Their appearance, figure, even voice, and behavior are so similar; sometimes even their father can't tell which of them is the elder brother and who is the elder brother." It's my brother." "However, heaven put two different hearts in these two children. The older brother is smart, proud, and domineering, while the younger brother is weak and kind. No matter at home or in private school, All the glory belongs to the elder brother. Even their father doesn’t like this poor younger brother, because he thinks that without this younger brother, his wife might not die in childbirth.” Her voice is so gentle and beautiful, but the story she narrates is so sad!Pei Jue sat cross-legged on the ground, almost dumbfounded. Just listen to her go on to say: "The younger brother who grew up under such circumstances naturally developed a gloomy personality. He would bear everything submissively; but in his heart, he told himself time and time again that revenge...revenge... There will be revenge one day." Speaking of this, her beautiful voice suddenly trembled. Pei Jue's heart shuddered, and she felt that the word "revenge" in her mouth contained such profound viciousness and fear. It seemed that the target of revenge was not her proud brother, but herself. The trembling voice gradually calmed down, and she continued: "One day, my elder brother accidentally broke his father's favorite ancient bottle, but he blamed his younger brother, and that partial father believed his words." "The younger brother, who was wronged and scolded, fled out in the dark; but father and elder brother were not in a hurry, because they knew that the weak younger brother would definitely come back." "On the third day, my younger brother really came back. He seemed to have a strange and happy radiance on his face. He didn't seem to hear any scolding. The smart elder brother saw his strange mood and kept forcing him. , ask him why?" "The younger brother seemed unwilling to speak out, but finally he did! He said: In the place where he was leaving, he met an immortal, and the immortal told him to go there three days later and teach him a magical Immortal method, accept him as an apprentice." "Then the elder brother became jealous of the younger brother, and he could hardly sleep, and finally, he came up with a vicious plan." "On the third day, he still pretended to see his younger brother off, and asked his younger brother repeatedly, where did the immortal live?" "The younger brother told him in detail with a strange look on his face. He smiled secretly, thinking that his younger brother had been tricked, because he had already planned a plan to kill his younger brother, and then he pretended to be his younger brother. Look, go to the immortal, anyway, the two brothers have exactly the same appearance, even an immortal can't tell the difference." "However, he didn't know that his younger brother didn't meet a fairy at all. He just found out from the mouth of the hunters on the mountain a place where wild beasts are most frequented, and even hunters dare not go. He deliberately put on that look, and then I knew his brother would definitely rush to go." "However, he didn't expect that his brother wanted to kill him on purpose." She sighed softly and stopped speaking, only to hear the kind-hearted Pei Jue, her palms could not help but break out in cold sweat. He never imagined that people would resort to such vicious schemes to harm each other!What's more, it's the twin brother of a direct relative! "Fairy Leng Yue" unconsciously looked back at the two embracing corpses, then let out a deep sigh, and continued: "The two of them sneaked up the mountain together without telling daddy. The elder brother was proud of himself in secret, and the younger brother was also secretly proud of it. When they reached a steep cliff, the elder brother said: 'We will leave today, I don't know when we will meet again. The younger brother also said, "We will see each other again after we leave today." At this moment, he was wondering why his brother didn't rush to go!" "Unexpectedly, he hadn't finished his thoughts, but my brother suddenly exhausted all his strength and pushed him off the cliff." Pei Jue couldn't help but exclaimed, and Ai Qing sighed: "The elder brother standing on the cliff heard his younger brother screaming and fell off the cliff. He felt a little scared in his heart, so he let go and ran wildly until he reached the place that the younger brother said." "But he didn't find the immortal, but he met a white-fronted tiger. He was only twelve years old at that time, but he already had extraordinary courage, and he was able to deal with this sudden attack with extraordinary calmness. But how can a twelve-year-old boy compare to a ferocious tiger? He is about to die under the claws of that tiger." Pei Jue felt that his breathing was getting heavier, Ai Qing continued: "Unexpectedly, at this moment, the roar of the tiger actually alarmed a senior stranger in the martial arts world, and rescued my brother from the tiger's claws." "This martial artist liked the boy's composure and intelligence very much, so he asked him if he would like to be his apprentice? The smart brother was blessed with his heart, so he immediately bowed down at his knees." "So he was blessed by misfortune, and within ten years, he passed on the unique skills of that strange man; but when he dreamed back at night, he looked at the night outside the window, and his ears always seemed to hear the scream of his brother falling off the cliff. The pitiful cry! He can't help but always have bursts of unspeakable horror."
