Chapter 48 Chapter 47 Indifferent to Fame and Fortune

He is blind. A woman, with her back to the door, was lying on the bed, as if she had fallen asleep, a deep sleep. Murong Qiudi is not in this room, neither is the younger brother. Could this poor blind man and this sleepy woman be waiting for Xie Xiaofeng here? But he never saw them. He had already entered and was about to exit when the blind man called him. Like most blind people, this blind man's eyes are blind, but his ears are very good. He suddenly asked: "Is this the third young master from the Xie family?" Xie Xiaofeng was very surprised, he couldn't imagine how the blind man would know that it was him.

On the haggard face of the blind man, there was another extremely strange expression, and he asked another strange question. "Don't the third young master recognize me?" Xie Xiaofeng said: "How could I recognize you?" The blind man said: "If you look carefully, you will definitely recognize it." Xie Xiaofeng couldn't help but stop, looked at him carefully for a long time, and suddenly felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet. He was sure of this person. This poor blind man is unexpectedly Zhuyeqing, that Zhuyeqing whose eyes are sharper than poisonous snakes!

Zhuyeqing smiled: "I know you will recognize me, and you should also understand why my eyes are blind." His smile also made people feel cold from the heart: "But she was so merciful after all, she actually spared my life, and even married me a wife." Of course Xie Xiaofeng knew who the "she" he was talking about was, but he couldn't figure out why Murong Qiudi didn't kill him, let alone why she wanted to marry him a wife. Zhuyeqing sighed again, and said: "No matter what, the wife she married for me is really a good wife, even if I cut off another pair of ears in exchange, I would be willing."

His voice, which was originally full of resentment, actually became very gentle. He stretched out a hand, shook the sleepy woman awake, and said, "There is a guest coming, you should pour a bowl of tea for the guest." The woman sat up obediently, got out of bed with her head down, poured a bowl of cold tea out of an old teacup and brought it over. As soon as Xie Xiaofeng took the bowl of tea, the cup in his hand almost dropped. His hands suddenly turned cold, and his whole body felt cold, even colder than when he recognized Zhuyeqing. He finally saw the woman's face.Zhuyeqing's submissive wife was unexpectedly a doll, the doll who had been miserably harmed by him.

Xie Xiaofeng didn't cry out, just because the baby was begging him, begging him with eyes that were almost crying, begging him not to ask anything, not to say anything.He didn't understand why she would do this?Why is she willing to be the wife of her enemy? But he finally shut his mouth, he never could bear to refuse the poor girl's request. Zhuyeqing suddenly asked again: "Is my wife very nice? Isn't she beautiful?" Xie Xiaofeng managed to control his voice, and said, "Yes." Zhuyeqing laughed again until her haggard face shone with light, and said softly: "Although I can't see her face, I also know that she must be very beautiful. Such a kind woman will never grow up. ugly."

He didn't know she was a doll. What would he do if he knew that his gentle wife was the woman he had harmed miserably?Xie Xiaofeng didn't want to think about it anymore, and asked loudly: "Are you waiting for me? Did 'madam' ask you to wait for me?" Zhuyeqing nodded, her voice became cold again: "She wants me to tell you that she has already left, no matter whether you win or lose, whether you live or die, she doesn't want to see you again." That was of course never what she really meant. She wanted him to stay, but she wanted Xie Xiaofeng to see what kind of person he had become and what kind of wife he had married.

Zhu Yeqing suddenly said again: "She originally wanted the younger brother to stay too! But the younger brother also left, he said he was going to Mount Tai." Xie Xiaofeng couldn't help asking: "What are you going to do?" Zhuyeqing's answer was simple and sharp: "Do what he likes to do." His voice became full of sarcasm again: "Because he has neither a prominent family background, nor parents and brothers, so he can only try his luck and venture into his own world." Xie Xiaofeng didn't say anything more.It seemed as if he had exhausted what he needed to say, he stood up quietly and walked out quietly.

He believed that the doll would come out with him, and she had many things to explain. This is the explanation of the doll - "When Murong Qiudi forced me to marry him, I was determined to die. "I agreed to marry him only because I wanted to find a chance to kill him and avenge our family. "But then I couldn't do it anymore. "Because he is no longer the Zhuyeqing who harmed our family, he is just a poor and useless blind man, not only his eyes are blind, but the tendons on his legs are also broken. "Once I was determined to kill him, but when I was about to do it, he suddenly woke up from his sleep crying and told me how many bad things he had done before.

"After that time, I couldn't hate him anymore. "Although I remind myself all the time, don't forget my hatred for him, but there is no hatred for him in my heart, only pity and sympathy. "He used to beg me in tears not to leave him, he couldn't live a day without me. "He doesn't know that I can't live without him now. "Because it's only when I'm around him that I feel like a real woman. "He doesn't know about my past, he doesn't look down on me, and he doesn't abandon me, sneaking away while I'm asleep. "I feel safe and happy when I'm around him because I know he needs me.

"For a woman, knowing that a man really needs her is her greatest happiness. "Maybe you will never understand this feeling, but no matter what you say, I will never leave him." What can Xie Xiaofeng say!He only said three words, and he couldn't think of anything else to say besides these three words. He said, "Congratulations." cold moon.new grave. "The tomb of Yan Shisan." On the tombstone made of granite, there are only these five simple words, because no matter how many words are used, it is impossible to describe his life full of sadness and legend.This peerless swordsman has long been buried here.He once reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship that no one else has ever reached, but now he is still buried in the loess like everyone else.

The autumn wind is rustling.Xie Xiaofeng was also in a gloomy mood.Tie Kaicheng had been looking at him, and suddenly asked, "Can he really die without regret?" Xie Xiaofeng said: "Yes." Tie Kaicheng said: "Do you really believe that the poisonous dragon he killed will not be resurrected on you?" Xie Xiaofeng said: "Absolutely not." Tie Kaicheng said: "But you already know all the changes in his sword technique, and you have seen his last sword." Xie Xiaofeng said: "If there is anyone in this world who can use that sword like that, of course that person is me." Tie Kaicheng said: "It must be you." Xie Xiaofeng said: "But I can no longer use a sword for the rest of my life." Tie Kaicheng said: "Why?" Xie Xiaofeng didn't answer, but stretched out his hands from his sleeves.On both of his hands, the thumbs have been cut off. You can never hold a sword without a thumb.For a person like Xie Xiaofeng, not being able to hold a sword would be worse than death. Tie Kaicheng's expression changed.Xie Xiaofeng was smiling, and said: "I would never do this before, I would rather die than do it." He smiled not forcefully: "But now I have figured it out, as long as a person can seek peace of mind, no matter what sacrifices, it is worth it." Tie Kaicheng was silent for a long time, as if he was still chewing his words The taste in the words. However, he couldn't help asking: "Is it worth sacrificing my own life?" Xie Xiaofeng said: "I don't know." His voice was peaceful and serene: "I only know that if a person's heart is not peaceful, living is far more painful than dying." Of course he is qualified to say that, because he did have a painful experience, and he did not know how many painful experiences he had before he broke free from the shackles of his mind and obtained relief. Seeing the calm look on his face, Tie Kaicheng finally let out a long breath and said with a smile, "Where are you going now?" Xie Xiaofeng said: "I don't know either, maybe I should go home and have a look, but before I go back, maybe I will still look around and walk around." He smiled again: "Now I am no longer the unparalleled swordsman Xie San, I am just an ordinary person, and I don't have to torture myself like he used to." What kind of person is a person?What kind of person do you want to be?Usually it's up to him to decide. He asked Tie Kaicheng again: "What about you? Where do you want to go?" Tie Kaicheng murmured, and said slowly: "I don't know, maybe I should go home and have a look, but before I go back, maybe I will still look around and walk around!" Xie Xiaofeng smiled and said, "That's great." At this time, the clear sunlight was shining on the beautiful land in front of them. This is a simple and simple town, but it is the only way to go to Mount Tai.Although they said they were just looking around and walking casually, they still walked on this road.Sometimes the relationship between people is like a kite you fly out. No matter how high or far the kite has flown, there is still a thread connecting it. It's just that this line is also like the line tied to the sword in the river, which is usually invisible to others. Of course, there is an inn in this small town that is neither too big nor too small.Of course, the inn also sells alcohol. Tie Kaicheng said: "Have you ever seen an inn that doesn't sell alcohol?" Xie Xiaofeng said: "No." He smiled: "Not selling alcohol in an inn is like not adding salt to cooking. It's not only making trouble with others, but also making trouble with oneself." The strange thing is that this inn sells not only alcohol, but also medicine. The scent of medicine blown by the wind is stronger than the smell of wine. Tie Kaicheng said: "Have you ever seen an inn that sells medicine?" Before Xie Xiaofeng opened his mouth, the shopkeeper rushed to say: "The small inn does not sell medicine, but a guest fell ill here two days ago, and his friend is making medicine for him." Tie Kaicheng said: "Is he suffering from a sudden illness?" The shopkeeper sighed, and said: "That's really a sudden illness. A good person will be so sick that he is about to die all of a sudden." He suddenly realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly explained with a smile: "But his disease will never be passed on to others, the two guest officers can just stay here with peace of mind." But acute illnesses that can make a person sick to death all at once are usually contagious. Most of the experienced Jianghu people have this kind of common sense.Tie Kaicheng frowned, stood up and walked to the back window, and saw a young man fanning the medicine stove under the eaves in the small courtyard.When cooking medicine for a friend, he usually does not carry a weapon on his body, but this person is wearing a sword, and holds the hilt tightly with the other hand, as if he is defending against others' plotting and surprise attack at any time.Tie Kaicheng looked at it for a long time, then suddenly called out: "Xiao Zhao." The man jumped up immediately, the sword was out of its sheath, and when it was clear that it was Tie Kaicheng, he heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "So it's the chief escort." Tie Kaicheng deliberately pretended not to see his nervousness, and said with a smile, "I'll just drink outside, and when your medicine is ready, why don't you come and have a drink with us?" Xiao Zhao's name is Zhao Qing, and he was originally a member of the Red Flag Security Bureau, but he was very motivated since he was a child, and he actually joined Huashan's sect a few years ago.Although it was because of his own efforts, half of it was because Tie Kaicheng was nurturing him with all his strength. Of course, Tie Kaicheng would not refuse his invitation.He will be here soon. After two glasses of wine, Tie Kaicheng asked, "Who is that sick friend of yours?" Zhao Qing said: "It's one of my senior brothers." Tie Kaicheng said: "What kind of disease does he have?" Zhao Qing said: "It's... a sudden illness." He was originally a very straightforward young man, but now his words have changed He hesitated, as if he had some secret that he didn't want others to know. Tie Kaicheng smiled and looked at him. Although he didn't expose him, it made him feel more uncomfortable than exposing him.His face started to turn red, he had never been in the habit of lying in front of the chief escort, he wanted to tell the truth, but there was a stranger next to the chief escort.Tie Kaicheng smiled and said: "Mr. Xie is my friend, and my friend will never betray a friend." Zhao Qing finally sighed, and said with a wry smile: "My brother's illness was stabbed by a sword." The illness stabbed by a sword is of course an acute illness, and it must be very fast and severe. Tie Kaicheng said: "Which one of your senior brothers is sick?" Zhao Qingdao: "It's my Senior Brother Mei." Tie Kaicheng moved, "Is that 'Excalibur Wuying' Mei Changhua?" He was indeed taken aback.Mei Changhua is not only Huashan's long-door disciple, but also a famous swordsman in the world. With his swordsmanship, how could he be "sick" under someone else's sword? Tie Kaicheng asked again: "Who made him fall ill?" Zhao Qingdao: "It's a new disciple of the Diancang Sect, very young." Tie Kaicheng was even more surprised.The prestige of Huashan Sword is far above that of Diancang, how can a new disciple of the Diancang Sect defeat the first disciple of Huashan. Zhao Qingdao: "We were originally going to Huashan to attend the meeting. When we met him here, he suddenly clashed with my senior brother and wanted to fight alone with my senior brother." He sighed, and continued: "At that time, we all thought he was crazy, and we all thought he was looking for death. Unexpectedly...no one would have imagined that the senior brother would be defeated by his sword." Tie Kaicheng said: "Did they decide the winner within a few moves?" Zhao Qing's expression became even more embarrassing. After hesitating for a long time, he said softly: "It seems that there are less than ten moves." A beginner disciple of Diancang was able to defeat Mei Changhua within ten moves. This is not only unbelievable, but also a very shameful thing, no wonder Zhao Qing hesitated and didn't want to say it. What's more, Mei Changhua has always been proud and conceited. It is inevitable that he will have many enemies in the arena. Of course, he must guard against others who will take the opportunity to seek revenge. Zhao Qing said again: "But his swordsmanship is not exactly the swordsmanship of Dian Cang, especially the last swordmanship, which is not only spicy and weird, but also mature. It seems that he has at least ten years of hard work. .” Tie Kaicheng said: "Do you think he is leading an art investment division?" Zhao Qing said: "It must be." Xie Xiaofeng suddenly asked: "What kind of person is he?" Zhao Qingdao: "He is very young, but he is very experienced in doing things. Although he seldom speaks, what he says carries weight." He thought for a while, and then said: "It seems that he is not the kind of person who will fight with others if he disagrees with him. This time he must have done it because he wants to gain fame in the Jianghu." Xie Xiaofeng said: "What's his name?" Zhao Qingdao: "His surname is also Xie, Xie Xiaodi." Xie Xiaodi.These three words suddenly became famous all over the world. In just five days, he stabbed Mei Changhua, defeated Qin Duxiu, and even Ouyang Yunhe, the number one Wudang disciple, was defeated by his sword.The rise of this young man is like a miracle. night.There are lamps and wine on the table. Tie Kaicheng mulled over the wine, then suddenly smiled and said, "I guess by now you must already know who Xie Xiaodi is." Xie Xiaofeng didn't answer his words directly, but sighed: "I only know that he must be anxious to become famous, because only after becoming famous can he dispel the shadow that weighs on his heart." —What is his shadow? ——His too famous parents? Or that painful memory that has been suppressed for a long time? Tie Kaicheng said: "He intentionally troubled those famous disciples, I thought he was trying to compete for the leader of the Taishan Association." "But he didn't do that." "Because he knew that his reputation was not enough, so he still put Li Zhenzhen on the throne of the leader." "That happened two days ago. Today's news is that he has married the new leader, Li Zhenzhen, as his wife." Tie Kaicheng smiled and said: "Now I know that he is far smarter than we imagined." Of course Li Zhenzhen is also a smart person, and of course he can see that their combination is beneficial to each other. Tie Kaicheng said: "I've been thinking about how Mrs. Murong will feel when she hears about him?" Xie Xiaofeng didn't know either. He couldn't even tell what he was feeling. Tie Kaicheng suddenly laughed again: "Actually, we don't have to worry about them. People like them will appear in every generation in the Jianghu. When they are struggling to climb up, they may use all means, but when they become famous, It will definitely do well.” Because they are all smart, and they will never ruin their hard-earned reputation easily.Perhaps it is because there are always people like them in the arena that the balance can be maintained.Because they will definitely restrain each other, that kind of relationship is like not only tigers, leopards, lions and foxes, but also mice, gnats, and gnats in order to maintain a natural balance. Xie Xiaofeng sighed suddenly, and said: "It's really not easy for a young man who has neither a prominent family background nor parents to rely on to become famous." Tie Kaicheng said: "But young people should have such ambition. If he is climbing up, no one can say that he has gone the wrong way." Xie Xiaofeng said: "Yes." Just as he was saying this, suddenly a group of young people broke in and asked loudly, "Are you Xie Xiaofeng?" Xie Xiaofeng nodded. A young man immediately drew out his sword and pointed the tip at him: "Draw out your sword and fight with me." Xie Xiaofeng said: "Although I am Xie Xiaofeng, I can no longer use a sword." He showed the young man his hand. The young people were not moved, they wanted to be famous too much. No matter what, Xie Xiaofeng is Xie Xiaofeng after all, whoever kills Xie Xiaofeng will become famous. They suddenly drew out their swords at the same time and stabbed towards Xie Xiaofeng. Although Xie Xiaofeng could no longer hold the sword, he still had hands.His hand slashed their veins lightly, like a gust of wind blowing. Immediately their swords fell from their hands. Xie Xiaofeng picked up the hilt of the sword, and bent it lightly with two middle fingers, and it became two pieces. Then he just said one word! "Walk." They left at once, faster than they had come.Tie smiled openly. They were all young men, passionate, impulsive, and completely reckless in their actions.But there will never be a lack of young people like this in the rivers and lakes, just like the sea will never be without fish. It is this group of young people who can keep the rivers and lakes always fresh and exciting and vivid. Tie Kaicheng said: "You don't blame them?" Xie Xiaofeng said: "Of course I don't blame them." Tie Kaicheng said: "Is it because you know that when they grow up, they will definitely not do this kind of thing again?" Xie Xiaofeng said: "Yes." He thought and thought, and said, "Of course there are other reasons besides this." Tie Kaicheng said: "What reason?" Xie Xiaofeng said: "Because I'm also a quack." People living in rivers and lakes are like fallen leaves in the wind and duckweed in the water.Although they have no roots, they have blood and loyalty.Although they often live in misery, they neither blame heaven nor others.Because they also have a colorful, rich and beautiful life. Xie Xiaofeng said: "There is a saying that you must never forget." Tie Kaicheng said: "What are you talking about?" Xie Xiaofeng said: "Once you become a Jianghu person, you will always be a Jianghu person." Tie Kaicheng said: "I also have something to say." Xie Xiaofeng said: "What are you talking about?" Tie Kaicheng said: "Once you become Xie Xiaofeng, you will always be Xie Xiaofeng." He smiled and continued slowly: "Even if you no longer hold the sword, you are still Xie Xiaofeng."
