Chapter 39 Chapter 39

In the windless secret cave, there was a sudden sense of coldness. "Fairy Cold Moon" Ai Qing continued to tell her story: "Ten years later, that martial artist finally died! The father of the two brothers also died of depression because of the sudden loss of two sons." "The elder brother who has learned a unique skill will naturally not be buried in the barren mountains. He went down the mountain with his sword and made his debut in the world. In less than three years, he gained an amazing reputation in the martial arts. Once, he was on the Ganliang Road. A young woman was rescued from the hands of the thieves. The woman was grateful for his great kindness and admired his unique skills. In addition, he was deeply moved by the heroic deeds he did in order to repent of his childhood sins. Finally, they became husband and wife very naturally."

"This period of time is the most beautiful in both of their lives. They study together and learn swords together. He will teach all the martial arts from his master's martial arts secret book "Hai Tian Secret Book". He gave it to her, but she taught him poetry and songs." Pei Jue suddenly noticed that there was a strange tenderness in her voice, and a strange brilliance in her eyes, just like everyone's face when recalling the joys of the past. His heart moved, and he already knew who the characters in her story were, and he couldn't help but glanced at the two embracing corpses.But she found that her gaze was also looking there.

Ai Qing glanced quietly, then turned around very quickly, and continued: "This couple was the happiest couple in the martial arts until one day...one night..." Pei Jue's heart trembled, and he already had an ominous premonition. Ai Qing sighed and said: "That night, it was rainy in Huangmei. I heard the sound of rain outside the window, and for some reason, I suddenly felt an ominous premonition in my heart." She suddenly realized that she had finally slipped her mouth, she smiled sadly, and continued: "At that time, I had been married to the 'Thousand Hand Scholar' Xiao Zhongren for seven years; but this kind of unfortunate premonition happened for the first time. I stayed by his side, as if returning to my childhood."

"Before midnight, a friend of his who was far away in the northwest border suddenly sent someone on a flying horse to call for an emergency, saying that he had discovered a surprising accident, and hoped that he could rush there immediately. I... oh, I was going to go with him but he told me that he wanted me to stay at home because he was afraid that I would not feel well. He would come back within a month, because no matter what disputes there were in the martial arts, as soon as the "Thousand Handed Scholar" arrived, Everything will be solved.” "I was scared in my heart, and I must follow him. He laughed at me as a child."

She took a deep breath, as if she was afraid that she would suddenly suffocate, and then continued: "In less than a month, he really came back. Although he looked much thinner than before; but his spirit was better, and I was very happy. But...somehow, since that day, I always feel that there is a kind of An abnormal atmosphere enveloped me all around." Her voice gradually became heavy, and every time she uttered a word, it seemed that she had spent a lot of effort. Pei Jue felt that there was an abnormal atmosphere in her tone, which made his heart feel an irresistible chill.

He shook his clothes and heard her continue: "It's been like this for a year, and I feel that everything seems to have changed; but I can't explain the reason. During this year, I even rarely talked to him. I used to study and learn swords. , also stopped, because he said he had a little internal injury, but I couldn't see it." "One year later, it was Huangmei weather again, and it was another rainy night. I fell asleep, but woke up in the middle of the night. I found him sitting upright by the bed, as if staring at the window in a daze. I didn't disturb him, just Quietly open your eyes and follow his gaze..."

Her voice changed from heavy to unconcealably frightened, trembling, and sad. She trembled and said: "That glance... I will never forget the scene I saw at that glance. I... I actually saw the eyes of another 'Thousand-Handed Scholar' Xiao Zhongren on that window, staring blankly at me. My heart immediately surged to my chest, and I couldn't help but let out an exclamation." Pei Jue shuddered Lingling, and could hardly bear to listen any longer. Beads of cold sweat were already breaking out on his whole body, and when he quietly raised his eyes, he saw Ai Qing's face was so numb that there was no emotion.

She seemed to be narrating another matter, but her voice was still trembling involuntarily: "After I let out an exclamation, the figure outside the window immediately flew away. I couldn't help but jumped up from the bed, trying to chase them out, but the person sitting beside me... beside my bed... suddenly turned back. It hit my acupuncture point, making me unable to move at all!" Suddenly, the oil ran out, the lamp dried up, and the fire went out. In an instant, the gloomy cave was completely shrouded in darkness. The chill was getting worse. In the darkness, there seemed to be countless ghosts and elves dancing in carnival. Every elf seemed to be the shadow of the "thousand-handed scholar".

Pei Jue curled up unconsciously. In this gloomy and dark place, listening to such a gloomy and dark story was enough to make one feel sad and frightening, not to mention that the tragic owner in this story was sitting opposite him at the moment.He could even see the tears in her eyes, glistening in the dark. Just listen to her continue: "Until that time, I didn't know about his brother's past, and I didn't know about this... this person who was sitting next to my... bed... who had... lived with me... for a year, actually... It's not Xiao Zhongren, the 'Scholar with Thousand Hands', but...his...brother...Xiao Boxian."

Pei Jue couldn't help but let out a long sigh, finally there was the sound of weeping in the darkness. She didn't know how long she had been crying, Fang Zi tremblingly continued: "At that time... I was lying on the bed numbly, listening to Xiao Boxian beside me, telling the whole story. After he fell off the cliff, he didn't die. After experiencing many hardships, he also learned a unique skill. , come back to the world to take revenge." "but I……" She hissed sadly: "But I am innocent. What crime do I have to suffer such inhuman insult and pain?"

"Hearing him by my side, I told me with a smirk: 'He gave me you willingly, because he felt sorry for me. Today, I just asked him to come and see you. Some time later, you are Xiao Boxian. Wife, you will not only be with me for one year, but you will be with me for the rest of your life.'” "ah……" She wailed in despair, and this wailing was like a bent needle piercing Pei Jue's meridian, causing his whole body to tremble and his teeth to chatter. The horrific narrative in the darkness continues: "You... think about it, I... have slept with a stranger for a year, but... I still think that he is also my husband..." "Hearing his words, I suddenly felt a kind of hatred in my heart, an extremely strong hatred. I hate the two brothers. I vowed to practice more advanced martial arts and kill the two brothers together." "It was this kind of hatred that supported me, and I didn't die in front of him at that time." "Since that day, Xiao Boxian has not unlocked my acupoints. He tapped the three acupoints on my body where the qi and blood are connected, so that although I can walk, I cannot escape his grasp." "In this way,...another...another year has passed. During this year, the humiliation and pain I... endured, no one in the world can imagine." "Xiao Boxian kept insulting me by my side, and did some heinous evil deeds in the martial arts from time to time, making the 'Thousand-Handed Scholar' a monster in the Jianghu who is good and evil." "During this year, I discovered that he had been following us for a long time. When Xiao Zhongren left, he planned to take me." "When Xiao Zhongren came back and saw this situation, he couldn't bear to hurt my heart, so he had to avoid it quietly. He sacrificed me to apologize to his brother! I... I became a victim of their brother's sin , I... hate them even more!" Pei Jue sighed secretly, and suddenly understood that there was such a painful and complicated reason for the first thing she wanted to do by herself.He moved his body lightly, only to realize that his clothes were completely drenched in cold sweat. He touched his cheeks lightly, only to realize that his face was already covered with tears of sympathy. At this moment, he even secretly thanked the darkness for coming, because he really couldn't bear to see the face of the insulted and hurt woman in front of him again. There was a moment of silence, and finally there was a voice again: "Later... Xiao Boxian gradually became negligent. I tried my best to unlock the acupoints, stole the 'Haitian Secret Book', and escaped like a desperate man." "I dare not go to the deep mountains, because I am afraid that he will find me. I have to disguise myself as a man and hide in the crowd... That's why I met you." "I removed the cover of the 'Haitian Secret Book' again, made two fake copies, put them in my luggage, and practiced martial arts day and night." "However, I was finally found by him. That night, I killed Moxi in the "Big Dipper" and was caught by him. He laughed at me in every possible way, thinking... thinking... well, at that time I thought he would kill me, but after laughing at me and scolding me, he knelt on the ground and begged me not to leave him!" "He...he acted like crazy, tied me tightly for a while, and untied me for a while. He stayed by my side day and night, all the time. For ten days and ten nights, he didn't get together. Close your eyes." "In the end, he was finally tired, and I escaped; but he was like a demon, always finding me, and I ran desperately, but I couldn't escape his shadow." There was an extremely heavy sigh in the darkness. She sighed: "I finally got tired of it, and I suddenly discovered that even if I practice for another ten or a hundred years, my martial arts still can't beat them." "One day, I met the 'Golden Boy and Jade Girl' couple. They told me a big news, saying that they had discovered the whereabouts of the 'Thousand-Handed Scholar', hidden in a secret cave on Shixin Peak in Huangshan. Only then did I realize that after Xiao Zhongren left me, he was hiding here." "The couple, they are my best friends, they care about me; however, they can't solve my pain." "I thought about it for a long time, and decided to go to Huangshan to find Xiao Zhongren, so I entrusted them to you with the authentic 'Haitian Secret Book'." Pei Jue let out a long breath from the sympathy and sorrow accumulated in his heart. Until now, he didn't know that the two "Haitian Secret Books" snatched by Sun and his son were fake, and he also knew that A book in his bosom turned out to be a world-renowned secret book of martial arts. "Fairy Cold Moon" Ai Qing continued: "After I confessed everything, I went to Huangshan and found this secret cave. At that time, Xiao Zhongren hadn't come back yet. I waited for him here for a whole day." "As soon as Xiao Zhongren entered the secret cave, he saw me standing blankly in front of him, he let out a cry of surprise, even the box in his hand fell to the ground." "I grabbed him and saw him. I realized that although I hated him, I loved him. I cried and asked him, why did he treat me like this?" "Unexpectedly, he suddenly burst into laughter! It turns out...it turns out I was wrong again, he...he is not Xiao Zhongren, but Xiao Boxian." "I screamed in horror, at this moment Xiao Zhongren finally came back." "The two of them appeared in front of my eyes together, staring at each other. The decades of entangled grievances made the eyes of both of them seem to burst into flames." "Then, both of them looked at me together, and I retreated unconsciously. All the way back to the cold mountain wall, Shaw suddenly said: 'This world is too crowded, there must be one of you and me who should retreat Go out." Xiao Zhongren stayed for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "This world is indeed too small.'" "So the two of them drew their swords at the same time, alas... good fortune's fooling people, sometimes it is too cruel, the demeanor, behavior and words of the two of them are so similar, I watched the two of them move their hands , I suddenly realized that my concern for these two brothers is exactly the same!" "The idea almost drove me crazy, but it was the fact that it forced me so cruelly that I couldn't escape, and I... I began to beg them to stop doing it." "I was crying and begging! But they didn't seem to hear it at all. They fought all night in this narrow tunnel. Their bodies were all wounded and bleeding. Alas... the heavens... Arrange the martial arts of the two of them to be exactly the same level." Pei Jue wiped the sweat on his forehead with his backhand. If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, he couldn't believe that this tragic and bizarre story was true. Outside, the sky seemed to be dawn, and the faint light coming in from the crack enabled him to vaguely see Ai Qing's figure. But he didn't dare to look at it. He just lowered his head and heard her go on to say: "Later, they gave up the competition of swordsmanship and came up with this endless competition method. I was even more panicked, although I also knew that if the two of them lived in the world at the same time, the tragedy would never end , because... because of me... I love them, and they love me!" "However, I still couldn't bear to see their deaths. I stabbed myself one by one with this bright steel needle, hoping they would stop my pain." "But they still don't seem to see it!" There was a pause in the voice, and the lingering sound curled up. Finally, the surroundings became deathly silent. Pei Jue sat stiffly, but the tide of thought seemed to have stopped. After a long, long time, she let out a long sigh and said slowly: "The tragedy is finally over! The story is also over! The brothers finally got rid of the entangled grievances, and what about me?" She suddenly chuckled, and the ridicule and sorrow for life mixed in the laughter made the laughter sound like the cuckoo's cry of blood in late spring. She continued softly: "I... I ask you, should I continue to live? Can I continue to live?" Pei Jue's whole body trembled, and he said in a low voice, "You...you...you..." Ai Qing sighed and said: "The third thing I want you to do for me is to bury the three of us together after I die." The sorrow accumulated in Pei Jue's heart suddenly surged up at this moment. He shouted sadly: "You can't die!" Ai Qing smiled sadly and said: "Did you forget what you promised me just now? Besides... With your strength, how can you stop me?" Pei Jue was stunned for a while, two tears came out of his eyes, and the hazy figure in front of him became even more blurred, and he wept bitterly, "But...but..." Ai Qing sighed: "But I'm not going to die yet. I want to do something for you with what little power I have left. Three days...After three days, no one can stop me...Go to die, three days..." She murmured, then turned around and looked at the pair of figures leaning against each other!O fate!Fate was indeed too cruel to her, so that she had no attachment to life!
