In the winding section of Xishan Mountain, there is also a small road that cannot be accessed by vehicles.
The old man of the famous sword took Mo Fan and Mochizuki Chisaki and walked inside. What was surprising was that there was a small sacrificial spirit hidden in the small mountain rift valley, with some flowers on it that had not completely withered. , obviously someone came here to worship not long ago.
"At that time, I was just like you, being reckless and doing everything without considering the consequences. The boring life in Dongshou Pavilion day after day made us very curious about anything new. When he discovered a condensed evil spirit After the pearl, I was so excited that I wanted to take it out." The old man Mingjian raised a pot of wine and slowly poured the shochu on the spiritual throne.
Mo Fan went over to take a look and found a person's name engraved on the spiritual tablet.
"Ichiqiu?" Mochizuki Chisaki looked at the spiritual tablet in a daze, and did not come back to his senses for a long time.
"Yes, he is actually the biological father of your eldest brother Tsuruta. He is also my best friend." The old man with a famous sword said.
"You also took the Ninghua Evil Pearl out back then?" Mo Fan asked.
"This matter is complicated. Chisaki's mother, Masako, was the one that everyone in the Shuang Pavilion pursued...well, in today's terms, she was a goddess. Tsuruta's father, Ichiki, broke out of the siege and got his Fangxin, there will be Tsuruta soon..." said the famous swordsman old man.
"Stop, stop, stop talking about your old love. I want to know about the previous generation of Red Devils." Mo Fan seemed very impatient.
This matter is related to the mysterious death of Lingling's father, and Mo Fan is now eager to know the situation of the red devil. After being with Lingling for so long, the dark red soul mark is what makes this little girl feel old and unhappy all day long. If this matter can be found out, I believe it will be the greatest spiritual healing for Lingling.
In Shanghai, Lingling assisted and helped her regardless of any reward. Mo Fan felt that this was probably the only thing he could do for her.
It was also by mistake that he discovered this special dark red soul mark. No matter what, Mo Fan had to get to the bottom of it and give Lingling a big explanation.
"It was like this at the time. Yiqiu and I were the first to discover the Ninghua Evil Pearl. I informed Masako and Nobuko. Masako meant to inform the people in the clan, but Nobuzi suggested that we refine the energy inside to improve our strength. Standing out from the clan. We absorbed and stole his energy. Since it was shared equally among the four of us, no abnormalities were found in a short period of time, and even the cultivation level was greatly improved. But later, Masako, Nobuko, and I began to have drastic changes in temperament. , At first, he took pleasure in killing demons, and later he even started to kill the prisoners in the East Guard Pavilion..." said the old man with a famous sword.
"You have been deceived by the Ninghua Evil Pearl." Mo Fan said.
"Yes, we are getting deeper and deeper. Nobuko even suggested that more prisoners be imprisoned in the East Guard Pavilion so that the Ninghua Evil Pearl can absorb enough soul power to provide us with more powerful power." The old man Mingjian seemed a little unwilling to mention the past.
During that time, when his mind was lost, he really did a lot of things that he is a little scared to think about now. That kind of cruelty, that evil thought, infinite growth, infinite power, took root deep in their hearts...
"Then how did you get rid of it?" Mo Fan asked.
It can be seen that this old sword man became gentler and more charitable because of this incident.
"It's Yiqiu. He is the most rational one among all of us. After realizing that this evil bead is actually the condensed resentment in the souls of all prisoners, he began to prevent us from continuing to practice with the condensed evil bead... Alas, We were indeed completely lost at that time." The old man Mingjian let out a long sigh, sighing out endless sadness and regret.
"So you killed him??" Mo Fan said.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Mochizuki Chisaki glared at Mo Fan.
"In fact, we did do that. The three of us planned together to kill Yiqiu who stopped us..." The old man's voice became so low that even Mochizuki Chisaki didn't dare to look at it.
"What...you killed Tsuruta's father, including my mother, do you agree?" Mochizuki Chisaki suddenly exclaimed.
At that time, Ichiki and Masako were husband and wife. In Chisaki Mochizuki's impression, her mother was the kindest and gentlest woman in the world, and there was no way she would do such an extremely cruel and twisted thing.
The old man Mingjian knew that it was difficult for Chisaki Mochizuki to accept this fact, but he had to tell the truth: "In fact, it was her who suggested it... Oh, you don't need to have too much grudge against your mother, she is more lost than We're deeper. I think you know that feeling."
Chisaki Mochizuki recalled the scene when he attacked ordinary people, and indeed it was not him at all.
"It's terrifying if you think about it carefully. The person next to you wants to kill you..." Mo Fan sighed.
"Fortunately, Yiqiu is an extremely smart person, and he noticed our intentions. Originally we thought he would leave us, but he didn't. He stole the Ninghua Evil Pearl and kept that extremely terrifying thing away. He was taken far away from us. At that time, we hunted him down because we all felt that he wanted to take this treasure for himself, and we were very angry. Originally, he was cornered by us, and then he disappeared for unknown reasons. Since then, we have never seen Yiqiu again. As time passed, our minds gradually became clearer. Your mother Masako also blamed herself and felt guilty for this matter, and passed away early. Masako and I did not dare to mention this. But I don’t know how to repay the guilt I feel for Yi Qiu." The old man Mingjian said.
I don’t know how many years have passed, and I have changed from a young man to an old man, but what happened back then is still vivid in my mind. Looking back now, the corners of Mochizuki Famous Sword’s eyes can’t help but moisten.
"Is that why you care so much about Tsuruta?" Mochizuki Chisaki said.
The old man Mingjian nodded, took a deep breath and said: "Yes, the only thing we can do is to take care of his children. Unfortunately, we woke up too late, and the original resentment was still spread on his children. When Tsuruta was a child He didn't suffer, and Masako hated him even more... By the time Masako understood the sacrifice and suffering of Ichiki back then, Tsuruta had grown up and felt that our kindness to him was hypocritical, and he didn't care at all. need."
"Tsuruda..." Chisaki Mochizuki's nose started to sore when he thought about what happened to his elder brother.
"As for Tsuruta, I will find a way to rescue him from General Takagi. Takagi must not let Takagi know about this condensed flower bead. Takagi is too greedy, and he doesn't even know how terrible this thing is. Once it falls into his hands, The consequences are disastrous." said the old man Mingjian.
