The three of them looked outside together against the light and saw Xue Xianyun, their master.
At this time, Xue Xianyun was neither as stubborn and irritable as usual, nor as high-spirited as at the sword-making meeting, nor as vague and fragile as when he was drunk. His expression was calm and even serene, and the glimmer of light made him vaguely immortal, just like Tang. Zhao saw him for the first time at the water's edge, looking like a fisherman fishing alone in a big swamp. Cranes were flying behind him, as if he had a pair of wings behind his back.
That's it……
Jiang Shenyi narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly became confused.
The swordsmith was like this when he first met Xue Xianyun. On that night that he didn't want to remember, Xue Xianyun descended from the sky with the crane, as stunning as he was now, as if he was an immortal. He grabbed him, took him away from that hell, and brought him to the paradise-like Jiugao Mountain.
At that time, the white crane danced in the air, revealing a pair of wings from Xue Xianyun's back, like the wings of an immortal. At that time, Jiang Shenyi decided in his heart that he would also make himself a pair of wings in the future and carry himself up to the sky.
He was so grateful and admired Xue Xianyun. Others only called Xue Xianyun master, but Jiang Shenyi always called him mentor. Because he had the gift of reinvention, he was the one who hated Shi Chunqing's betrayal the most.
Seeing Xue Xianyun like this again, Jiang Shenyi's nose felt sour as he recalled it, and then he gritted his teeth - if it weren't for Shi Chunqing's betrayal, why did his teacher have to go through the hardships of the past six months, and how could Zhuoyu Villa be in such a crisis?
Shi Chunqing, there is no redemption for you!
At the same time, Tang Zhao was a little flustered.
He had known that Shi Chunqing was here. Xue Xianyun's drunken stumble into Jianlu and his chance encounter with Shi Chunqing were all acting. He came here with only one purpose - to take advantage of Shi Chunqing's unpreparedness and to find out the whereabouts of the Shangzhu Kingdom.
He felt that in this case, it was best not to bring Xue Xianyun with him. One is to increase Xue Xianyun's resentment, which makes him lose his good mood at today's sword-making conference. The other is that the relationship between the two parties is too deep. I'm afraid that Xue Xianyun will do something irrational when trouble comes, which will give Shi Chunqing a chance. take. So he roped in Jiang Shenyi, who hated Shi Chunqing the most.
It happened that Xue Xianyun was drunk and grabbed Tang Zhao, who was disguised as Wei Se, and came here alone. Tang Zhao asked Wei Se to use some means to make the old man sleep. Then he asked Wei Se to disguise Jiang Shenyi as Xue Xianyun and Tang Zhao to come to Jianlu to deal with Shi Chunqing. Of course, Jiang Shenyi's poor acting skills may not be hidden from Shi Chunqing, so Tang Zhao talks more and asks him to talk less and add less drama to himself.
Unexpectedly, Xue Xianyun came anyway. Thinking about it - although Wei Se specializes in assassination, has Xue Xianyun lived such a long life in vain? Danger couldn't make a heavy move, but Xue Xianyun might have discovered the clue and came directly after pulling him.
But now that he's here, what does he want to do?
Shi Chunqing, on the other hand, calmed down after being surprised and said, "You are finally here."
Xue Xianyun nodded. Both of them were calm, except for the two young apprentices who were at war with each other. They seemed to be talking as casually as the master and apprentice in front of the sword house on an ordinary day in the past twenty years.
Xue Xianyun said: "I just heard it. Have you found your biological parents?"
Shi Chunqing was silent for a moment, then said after a while: "We found them, they are all dead."
Xue Xianyun paused and said, "It's a pity. If we had found them earlier, we might have been able to reunite."
Shi Chunqing smiled dryly and said, "He died that year too."
Xue Xianyun said: "Is that so?"
The two of them were silent at the same time, and Xue Xianyun asked again, "Did you just want to see me? Did you want to see me, or did you want to see it?"
He stretched out his hand, holding a sword flatly in his hand.
This is a dark sword, but it is not the dark gold sword of Tang Zhao, but the sword forged by Xue Xianyun that all the guests want to take a look at but cannot get.
Compared to Tang Zhao's sword, this sword was even more inconspicuous. It didn't even look like a new sword. Instead, it looked old, rusty, and in urgent need of polishing.
Shi Chunqing stared at the sword and said, "This is..."
Xue Xianyun said: "You already knew this, right? This is a 'sword'. "
Sword name, sword.
Not every newborn sword has a name. Most of them have to wait for the swordsman to name it, but the name of this sword was already given when it was still a sword type, no, it didn't even have a sword type.
The "sword" comes first, and the sword comes later.
Back then, Shi Chunqing also had a "sword" that he carried with him. It was given to him by Xue Xianyun. It was a sword that was inconspicuous at first sight, but became sharper with use and became more powerful with more battles. That sword was a magic weapon, and it was a magic weapon without the original sword. Even Xue Xianyun spent a lot of effort to create such a sword out of thin air, and it was the only one.
After Xue Xianyun named Shi Chunqing, he made this magical weapon and gave it to Shi Chunqing. He also hoped that he would sharpen himself like this "sword" and that the Qingfeng would unsheath and shine brightly in the future.
Even so, Xue Xianyun still felt that it was not enough. He had always felt that Shi Chunqing was not only worthy of a magical weapon, he also needed a real sword. Therefore, he wants to forge swords.
Yes, at first, the sword he had been pondering for ten years and pursuing tirelessly was never made for himself, but for Shi Chunqing.
"The edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold."
Shi Chunqing murmured to himself.
"This sentence is given to you by Azhao. In addition to advising you to calm down and hone yourself and not be tempted by the clouds and smoke outside, I also want to tell you that the sword I forged is for you. This is Azhao's kindness. , he wants you to know that I am good to you and wants to dispel your rebellion."
That's exactly what happened.
Tang Zhao had already noticed Shi Chunqing's impending move at that time, and sent this sentence to Shi Chunqing, just to tell him Xue Xianyun's painstaking efforts. When he thought about it, Xue Xianyun clearly had a love for his disciples, but he refused to show it because of his pride, which might cause the disciples to misunderstand him, so something bad happened. If Shi Chunqing knew how well-intentioned Xue Xianyun was, he would definitely find his way back.
In fact, Shi Chunqing understood it immediately.
However, he did not return.
"Azhao is still young and thinks simply. He still thinks that I will be nice to whoever is nice to me. I know you are not an ungrateful little bastard like Zhong Nan. You decided to rebel by yourself. .”
"I also think I know what's good. Junior Brother Tang said this, and I know it's your kindness. So I reciprocated and changed my plan." Shi Chunqing said calmly, "Originally, according to the plan, I should lurk until the end, before you At the critical moment of forging the sword, I counterattacked, took away the sword, and destroyed Zhuoyu Villa. It was precisely because I was soft-hearted and launched in advance that although you suffered a small loss, you were warned, so that you could call for help in advance, and calmly arranged the arrangements today , everyone in the villa escaped this disaster, but fought back us. Isn't it enough that I benefited myself and others at the expense of myself?"
The more Jiang Shenyi listened, the angrier he became and yelled, "What? You were so arrogant that you almost ruined my mentor's future and didn't let us wipe out the whole family. Do we still have to thank you?"
Shi Chunqing said calmly: "There's no need to thank me. You can thank your junior brother. Not only did he see through my rebellious attitude, he also noticed that I am not as indifferent as I show on a daily basis. I am suppressing myself. I Ambition is beating in his chest. So in the end I will cut out my ambition and show it to him, which is also reciprocating. As for me personally——"
He said word by word: "I really hate this sentence: "The edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold." Likewise, I hate the name he gave me, the expectations he placed on me while standing in front of the stone, and the whole set of illusory images he made up to trick me into working hard. He knew early on that my efforts were in vain, and he always believed that I was a stone and could not be turned into jade. He kept telling me to be a stone of hard work and a stone more beautiful than jade. But so what? Stone is stone, jade is jade. "
His voice rose higher and higher,
"But he saw it wrong. I am not a stone, I am originally jade. You all have blind eyes and do not recognize the real jade!"
"I don't need to be polished to be smoother than others, I was born to be extraordinary! I have been stronger than others from the beginning, and have always been above everyone else!"
At this time, Tang Zhao's calm voice came, saying: "But you are indeed very ordinary, and if you don't change according to your will, what should you do?"
Tang Zhao has always been considerate and rarely said anything that makes people uncomfortable, but it is also because he is considerate and can say the most heart-wrenching words.
Shi Chunqing's eyebrows twitched, as if he was about to lose control for a moment, but he controlled it in an instant, and his expression became arrogant. The previous calmness was suppressed by arrogance, and the brocade robe on his body shone gorgeously in the dim light.
"That's just your humble opinion. You only think that your little cleverness and talent are your natural qualifications for being extraordinary, and you are proud of it, but you don't know that that is what makes you so shallow and ridiculous. Real extraordinaryness is strength, resources, and The ability to pull out a hair thicker than your waist is the strength to crush you into dust with a flick of my hand. I was born to be this extraordinary."
Tang Zhao seemed to understand what he meant at this time, and said: "Who gave you the courage to say these words? Are you a turtle bandit?"
Shi Chunqing did not deny it and said: "It was the Great Wei Dynasty. The Great Wei Dynasty allowed me to find my roots. I have such parents, such blood, and such a family. From the beginning, I was different from you."
Not to mention Tang Zhao, even Jiang Shenyi was amused by him and said disdainfully: "Family? Family is nothing."
Shi Chunqing glanced at him with a bit of pity, and said: "Junior brother Jiang, I know your life experience. You look down on what you can't get. I don't want to poke your pain, but your family has left you nothing. Just leaving you with debt does not mean that others will do the same. What's more, even when your family was at its peak, it was far behind my family. Let alone Junior Brother Tang."
He ignored the furious Jiang Shenyi and looked at Tang Zhao with a smile, "Junior brother, you are very likable. If I had seen you in the Wei Dynasty, even though our identities were completely different, I would still like you. I don't mind your humble background. I will take you into my home, make you a guest, treat you like a younger brother, and even marry my sister and niece to you. I will give you resources and train you to become a swordsman. When you When I achieve success, I may feel a little emotional, but I will never be envious or jealous, because everything you have is a gift from me."
Not talking about Tang Zhao, Jiang Shenyi couldn't help but said: "It's so pitiful to be trapped in delusions and unable to extricate yourself. Don't you want to think that ordinary people are crazy and just make up these things to comfort yourself?"
Shi Chunqing said calmly: "Don't you believe it? It is precisely because of the change of dynasties that you dare to speak to me like this. But when the chaos is corrected and everything returns to the right path, I will still be a born noble. How to treat you depends on my temporary feelings. .”
Xue Xianyun had been listening, but at this time he felt a little sad. The alcohol that had just gone down came back up again, until it reached his eyes, and said: "Chun Qing, when did you become like this?"
Shi Chunqing said: "I've always been like this, haven't you noticed? Yes, you are the one who has been stuck in fantasy and can't extricate yourself. In your mind, you imagined a senior brother who is simple, down-to-earth, and gentle, so you used this to trick me. In fact, I am just cooperating with your acting. Why should I cooperate? Because I am a helpless orphan, so I can only cooperate with you. I lost my father when I was young, and I have long learned to read words and colors, and know what kind of child you want to adopt. If I don’t conform to your ideas, you can abandon me at any time and leave me with nothing, what can I do?”
"But I don't like it, I hate it, so I have to run away in the end."
He glanced at the sword again:
"As for this sword, it shouldn't have been cast. If you insist on forging it, you can't break it into pieces, so give it to me."
