"Now the case of the prince is not clear, and I still have my grievances unjustified. I really don't want to die in such an unexplained way!... It's just that God's will cannot be violated... Zhichao, promise me, you must live well and find out the prince. case and fulfill my unfinished wish, okay?"
With the help of everyone, Ling Yun finally protected Mr. Lu from Tianxiao's pursuit, but suddenly discovered that Mr. Lu had been poisoned by hibiscus flower poison before, and now was the time when the poisonous injury occurred.
Listening to Mr. Lu's words that were almost pleading and full of tears, Ling Yun felt as if his heart was pinched hard by a big hand, squeezed and kneaded repeatedly, and finally broke into a ball of dripping blood, " Sir, please stop talking..."
"Promise me...promise me..." Lu Wenzheng looked into his eyes in a daze, his breath was dying.
Ling Yun clenched his teeth extremely tightly, but the strength to make a sound had long since disappeared. He just nodded with tears in his eyes.
Lu Wenzheng nodded happily and slowly closed his eyes.
Ling Yun hugged Lu Wenzheng's body tightly and burst into tears.
All around, the wind whimpered and the vegetation bowed.
The sky turned gloomy at some point, and a light rain began to fall, and it fell on his face and clothes, but he was completely unaware of it.
The whole world seemed to be flowing with moist depression, the air seemed to be suffocated, and the depression above the head was like a ceiling that was about to collapse. All living beings were suffocated inside, and all struggles seemed to have lost their meaning.
Staring at the prosperous past of that life in the river of time, that person who was also a teacher, friend, and confidant had appeared in his life many times and occupied most of his life.
There were times when we were asking for help, sternness and kindness; there were also conflicts and entanglements, separations and separations... but in the end they all dissipated like smoke.
Ling Yun buried Lu Wenzheng with tears in his eyes, but he could not erect a monument, let alone a tomb, because people from the Tianxiao organization were still patrolling and searching nearby. He could not foolishly put up a sign to let Master Lu's body fall into the hands of the enemy.
He could only place a few pebbles of different shapes as markers where Mr. Lu was buried to make it easier to find and identify him later.
At this time, Ling Yun was unusually calm. For some reason, he no longer had the heartbreaking feeling he had after losing a loved one. He only felt as if his heart had been hollowed out, so numb that he had no feeling.
For a moment, he suddenly thought: What is the purpose of a person living so hard and toiling in this world?
If it is for fame and fortune, for making achievements, for being famous throughout the world, then what is the meaning of a life like Mr. Lu's, with vigorous experiences but unclear ending?
Thinking about himself again, what will he get in exchange for all the hard work, life and death? Is it the reality in front of him that is too cruel for him to accept?
He asked himself over and over again: Everything he did from the beginning to the end was to rescue Mr. Lu, but now Mr. Lu is dead, what should he do next?
He was even thinking: Since there is nothing else to do, is there any point in staying in this world by himself? Since there is no meaning anymore, it is better to go with Mr. Lu, which will not only fulfill your name of loyalty, but also end the pain in the world.
Thinking of this, he drew out the long sword inch by inch and stared at it intently for a while; then he slowly raised it and moved it across his neck...
It turns out that it is not instantaneous for a person to be overwhelmed by huge pain.
At this time, there was suddenly a burst of chaotic footsteps and noise in the distance. His heart couldn't help but tremble when he saw a dark figure surrounding him.
His mind was stimulating and he suddenly woke up. He told himself: Even if he wanted to die, he must die in a dignified manner. He could not fall into the hands of these rebellious officials and thieves and let them humiliate and abuse him.
So, with some difficulty, he supported his almost numb body and walked towards the distance step by step.
Fang walked a few steps, and suddenly he saw a figure flashing in front of him. A Taoist priest in green with white hair and a childlike face blocked him in front of him with a murderous look.
Wearing a green cloth robe, he is full of energy, holding a floating dust in his hand, and carrying a sword on his shoulder. He looks like an immortal, free and elegant, and he is the Taoist priest with white feathers.
Ling Yun's heart sank, he subconsciously took a few steps back, and swung the long sword in his hand.
Bai Yu looked at Ling Yun and couldn't help laughing. A pair of sharp hawk-like eyes shone with a fierce light, as if a hunter was looking at a tiger that had fallen into his trap, with excitement and greed in his eyes.
"It's true that there is a narrow road between enemies, Ling Yun, where are you going now?"
Ling Yun raised his sword eyebrows, without saying a word, and thrust straight towards Bai Yu's face with the "Clouds Crossing Qinling" style.
Bai Yu hurriedly parried with "Snow Embracing Languan", and the tips of the two swords collided with each other. Unexpectedly, Ling Yun missed the sword's edge and did not avoid the opponent's sword force. The long sword stabbed straight towards Bai Yu's heart with a huge force.
Bai Yu was shocked. He didn't expect that the opponent would use such a life-threatening move that would hurt both sides! He hurriedly retreated and sheathed his sword, but Ling Yun's long sword still made a cut on his left rib, causing blood to flow like a fountain.
Bai Yu said angrily: "Ling Yun, what kind of move do you think this is? Do you want to hurt both sides?"
Ling Yun raised his lips and smiled, his face extremely pale, "Yes, Bai Yu, I just want to die with you!"
Bai Yu curled his lips viciously, "Ling Yun, do you want to die? Then I will help you!"
The long sword slid, and the sky was filled with stars; Ling Yun used a move to "pull the clouds and see the sun" in order to resist. The two fought fiercely together again.
More than twenty rounds passed in the blink of an eye. In terms of martial arts attainments, Ling Yun and Bai Yu are in the same league; even in terms of swordsmanship and understanding, Ling Yun is even better than Bai Yu.
But the situation in front of him was very unfavorable to Ling Yun.
One is that Ling Yun has been fighting for a long time and is exhausted, almost at the end of his crossbow; the other is that Lu Wenzheng has recently lost his life, and the pain and blow Ling Yun has endured in his heart can be imagined; the third is that Bai Yu has a large number of people on his side, and hidden weapons are attacking from time to time, which is very disturbing. Hard to guard against.
Many unfavorable factors made Lingyun's disadvantages more and more obvious, and later it became dangerous and precarious.
Suddenly a stray arrow flew towards him, and Ling Yun's long sword struck. Unexpectedly, there was an opening on the third path, and Bai Yu's long sword was raised and pierced Ling Yun's shoulder.
A piece of blood spattered, and Ling Yun exclaimed, staggering back a few steps, and the long sword in his hand fell to the ground with a bang.
A heartbreaking pain immediately spread from his shoulders and swept through his whole body. Ling Yun subconsciously covered his injured shoulder with his left hand.
Bai Yu laughed proudly and stepped forward, as if he was pressing forward step by step to kill them all.
But there was a white light in front of him, and it was Ling Yun who lifted up the long sword on the ground with his toes and struck Bai Yu directly.
Bai Yu hurriedly retreated, and Ling Yun took the opportunity to feint, a crane soared into the sky, and flew away into the distance.
"You brat, you are so arrogant when you are about to die! I want to see how long you can hold on?"
Bai Yu's red eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Chase!"
All the disciples of Tianxiao swarmed forward.
Ling Yun panicked and ran for several miles in a hurry. The terrain ahead became more and more steep, the mountain road became more and more rugged, and his heart became more and more depressed.
Finally he stood helpless. There was no road ahead, and in front of him was a bottomless cliff.
His heart immediately became cold to the core. He didn't know why he ended up on this dead end.
He slowly turned around and saw a large group of people led by Bai Yu approaching with murderous intent.
"Ling Yun, you have no way to escape now, right? Just hold your hands and capture him!" Bai Yu laughed loudly with eyes like a predatory beast.
Ling Yun stood quietly, his messy hair fluttering slightly, his blood-stained clothes trembling in the cold wind. His originally handsome face looked miserable and helpless under the abuse of the cold wind and rain.
Bai Yu looked at his almost despairing face and couldn't help but laugh conspiratorially, and the eyes he looked at him became playful and inquisitive.
"There is a saying that goes well. Feng shui is turning, and today I came to my house. It's going around, Ling Yun, won't you have to fall into our hands sooner or later?
"Last time you took us to the Ministry of Punishment to get the dragon and phoenix jade talisman, Ling Yun, you were so powerful! You fooled everyone and hurt so many of our Tianxiao brothers, even Pindao was almost I'll kill you! And in the end you threw the dragon, phoenix and jade talisman into the fire, causing all our previous efforts to be wasted and both our lives and property to be lost.
"Later in Mengyunxuan, you not only seduced and abducted the gang leader's wife, but you also kidnapped Pindao regardless of the moral principles of the world, and put gang leader Li and me together!
"As the saying goes, you always have to pay back when you go out to fool around. Ling Yun, you have been against us again and again and challenged our bottom line; maybe you never dreamed that you would eventually be forced to the end by us. Bar!"
Ling Yun's face was like an ice sculpture, and he glanced at him coldly, his eyes showing a kind of indifference, "So what? You and I have always been incompatible with each other, and we are at odds with each other; Ling Yun is now obedient and defeated. In your hands, there is nothing to say, and there is no other choice but to die."
"Ling Yun, it seems that you really don't care about death - Pindao admires you on this point. But you seem to have misunderstood Pindao's meaning. From the beginning to the end, Pindao never said he wanted to kill you or harm you. ah!
As he said that, Bai Yu's strange eyes turned and he said quietly: "On the contrary, as long as you surrender to us and tell the whereabouts of Lu Wenzheng, we can ignore the past grudges and turn enemies into friends - I wonder what the eldest son thinks? "
"What the Taoist Master said is indeed a strategy that has the best of both worlds. Ling Yun is really flattered!"
Ling Yun laughed coldly after hearing this, as if he found the scene in front of him very funny, "Bai Yu, what are you thinking about? And do you think I will join in the troubles with you rebellious officials and traitors?"
"I only hate that the sky has no eyes and cannot let me live to kill you thieves who have brought disaster to the country and the people. However, I believe that the laws of nature are clear and you will eventually plead guilty and be punished!"
"Really? It's a pity that you, Ling Yun, won't be able to see that day!..." Bai Yu's sinister eyes were filled with venom, and he said with a ferocious smile: "Ling Yun, it seems that you are really stubborn and intend to fight us to the end. ! So don’t blame me for being rude!”
As he spoke, he suddenly turned around and said to the Tianxiao disciples on both sides: "Why are you standing there in a daze? Why don't you step forward and take down Ling Yun!"...
