The horses' hooves clattered, and the bright moon hung above their heads. On the carriage, Xue Ling was dumbfounded.
It never occurred to her.
Some people's lives can be so wonderful.
and loneliness.
Yes, Shang Jiuge's life sounds lonely.
"But now she has gone down the mountain?" Xue Ling said softly.
"Yes, she went down the mountain." Fang Bie said with a smile.
"You see, Beehive has called on the entire organization to collect information on Shang Jiuge. The reason is to know what kind of character and temperament this man who may be the tallest in the world in terms of swordsmanship now has."
"Because she never came down the mountain, almost everything about her is blank."
"And for anyone."
"Blankness and the unknown are the scariest things."
Fang Bie said quietly.
"It's so lonely." Xue Ling looked at the sky and said, "That kind of life is so lonely."
She had no parents or relatives since she was a child, and was picked up and raised in a kendo sect. However, because of her gender, no one was willing to teach her swordsmanship. She could only learn and practice secretly through watching and practicing. Even so, At the age of seven, Shang Jiuge was able to develop a set of swordsmanship that could crush almost half of Huashan Mountain. He was then taught by Shang Li's master and became the junior aunt of the Huashan Sect at the age of seven.
But would you be happy with this kind of life?
"Maybe." Fang Bie smiled: "But only people like Shang Jiuge can truly push the way of swordsmanship to its peak."
"After all, she is truly focused and unconcerned."
"But she might have a little trouble this time."
"Trouble?" Xue Ling was stunned: "What trouble?"
"Who else can cause trouble for her?"
Fang Bi looked at the carriage above his head: "Of course he is someone who can cause trouble for her."
"So do we need to help her?" Xue Ling asked.
"That's not necessary." Fang Bie said quietly: "Although she is a very trouble-making person, there are really very few people and things in this world that can really cause her trouble."
"Why?" At this point, Xue Ling couldn't understand.
"Because the sword is straight." Fang Bie said calmly: "Shang Jiuge's sword is the straightest and fastest sword in the world."
"So no matter how troublesome things are, she will always spot the flaw and strike at the most critical place with her sword. If she can cut away, everything will be solved easily."
"What if it can't be cut open?" Xue Ling couldn't help but ask.
"If she can't cut it open, then she will be entangled in trouble and there will be no way out." Fang Bie said with a smile: "But as I said before, her sword is the straightest and fastest in the world. of."
"There are too few troubles that she can't cut away."
"If one day she really gets into trouble, there will be too few people who can help her."
"Then can you?" Xue Ling looked back at Fang Bie and asked.
"I don't know." Fang Bie said with a smile, then scratched his head and looked at Xue Ling: "But, why should I help her."
The girl was speechless for a moment.
…
…
Under the candlelight in the cabin, Shang Jiuge looked at Huanglongyu's face quietly.
"If you don't offend me, you won't be killed?"
"Yes." Huanglongyu said without hesitation.
Shang Jiuge smiled: "Have you ever killed anyone?"
Huang Arowana hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Killed."
"I've killed him too." Shang Jiuge said quietly, "Although you might not believe it if I tell you."
"But those seven of your brothers were my first murders."
Huang Arowana looked at Shang Jiuge in disbelief, because he couldn't believe it, and also because Shang Jiuge didn't hesitate at all when he killed people. When facing those corpses, he didn't look like the first time he killed someone.
"Isn't it similar?" Shang Jiuge asked.
Huanglongyu nodded: "Not at all."
Shang Jiuge laughed: "Thank you very much for the compliment."
"Actually, I knew a long time ago that the martial arts I possess can easily kill others."
"But because of this, I also began to treat my own power carefully and try not to kill people easily."
"Because there is a very simple truth in this world."
"That is, after a person dies, he will not come back to life."
"No matter how powerful you are, you can kill hundreds of people with one sword, but you can't save even one person with a sword."
"So, killing someone is something that needs to be done very carefully."
"Even when I went down the mountain, I had already thought about it. It is very likely that I will kill someone when I go down the mountain this time, but I will try not to kill unless necessary."
Saying this, Shang Jiuge showed Huanglongyu the Crimson Night Sword he carried with him. He saw that the crimson demon sword, which had once shown an astonishing edge, was now sealed again by thick soil and wooden strips. It turned into an ordinary stick again.
"Killing someone is very easy, but not killing someone is more difficult."
"But one thing is clear to me."
"That is, when I draw my sword to kill someone, I should have the consciousness of being killed by others."
The girl said quietly, her tone calm.
"So when you and your brothers took over the mountain and became kings, you should have thought about what will happen today."
"I didn't want to kill you, but I won't refuse to kill you just because I don't want to."
Huang Arowana recalled the sword light that almost scared him out of his courage, as well as the woman's extremely calm expression at that time, and finally let out a long sigh: "May I ask who the heroine is?"
At this time, he was at the end of his rope, and he knew that he had no chance of survival. His previous ambitions and ambitions, and even his thoughts on surviving, were all gone. Only a little bit of unwillingness to know how he ended up in this situation was left. .
"Huashan Shang Jiuge." Shang Jiuge said quietly.
Huanglongyu's eyes suddenly shrank.
"What, do you know me?" Shang Jiuge looked at him and said.
"If I knew the girl was Shang Jiuge..." Huanglongyu couldn't continue in the middle of his sentence.
At this moment, a noisy sound suddenly came from outside the ship.
The fisherman girl who told Shang Jiuge that Huanglongyu wanted to see her ran in in a hurry: "My benefactor, something bad has happened. My benefactor, something has gone wrong."
"Slow down, what happened?" Shang Jiuge supported her and asked quietly.
"Officers and soldiers!" the woman said in a hurry: "Officers and soldiers surrounded the boat."
"He also said that we are all the remnants of the Seventeen Bandits of the Yellow River, and they want to arrest us and send us to the official."
"What?" Shang Jiuge didn't expect such a ridiculous thing to happen in this world.
Instead, Arowana laughed heartily on the ground.
"Why are you laughing?" Shang Jiuge looked at him.
"I laugh at the girl, although her martial arts skills are high, she doesn't understand the ways of the world."
"The water in the rivers and lakes is turbid, but it can't be compared to the turbid water in the court."
"I'm afraid the water in the Yellow River is not as muddy as one ten thousandth of the officialdom of the imperial court."
"I advise the heroine to abandon the ship as soon as possible and run away."
"This way we can avoid getting into a nasty mess."
