"I just think your sword looks familiar." Haitang laughed awkwardly and laughed.
I didn't take this to heart. The long swords in their tribe's hands were also dark in blade, with only the blade shining brightly. My sword was completely black, so it was normal for it to look familiar.
It was completely dawn when we returned to the village. The clan leader personally led people to greet us. When they learned that we had killed the witch and Gu master, the clan leader gave an order and everyone immediately knelt down in front of Heizi and me.
"Chief, what are you doing?" Heizi and I were at a loss.
"We have been fighting that witch and Gu master for two or three years, and many of our clan members have been killed or injured. You are our benefactors." The clan leader said without raising his head.
"Clan leader, get up quickly. We didn't agree before. You help me save people and I'll help you deal with the witch master. Don't do this. I really can't bear it." I quickly looked at the man kneeling next to the clan leader. Begonias and peonies.
I winked and motioned for the two of them to help the patriarch up, but the two girls didn't seem to see my eyes.
I didn't dare to help him myself. Who knew what the rules were in this place? My master had always told me to follow the local customs, but now the person in front of me was the clan leader.
I turned my head and looked at Heizi with a grimace. Heizi naturally understood my worries, but Heizi was smart and pulled me to kneel down in front of everyone.
The patriarch was also shocked by our actions. At this time, Haitang Fuer went over and said a few words to her mother.
"Okay, okay, get up, you kid." The patriarch looked at me with a smile.
The sudden change of title made me a little nervous, and I still knelt on the ground at a loss until Haitang and Peony stood up and helped me up.
At this time, Heizi looked at me even more strangely, but in front of so many people, it was difficult for me to explain.
What's more, Haitang and Peony are still looking at me and smiling, as if there is something really between us.
"Clan leader, are my two brothers okay?" I quickly distracted everyone's attention.
"Follow me." The patriarch smiled and turned around, and his smile was so mysterious.
I didn't care whether Heizi wanted to or not, so I pulled him and followed him.
Begonia and Peony were following us, which seemed to prevent us from escaping.
"What on earth did you kid do?" Heizi shouted angrily in a low voice.
"I didn't do anything." I was also confused and asked how to explain.
"Sit down." After entering the room, the clan leader was still very polite and still had a smile on his face, which actually made me more nervous.
Although I didn't do anything wrong, I did have some thoughts about it, especially now that the second girl was sitting opposite me, and her face was red.
"Haitang told me everything." As soon as the patriarch spoke, I almost found a crack in the ground and crawled in.
"Clan leader, please listen to my explanation. At that time..." I didn't finish my words. Looking at Heizi's fire-breathing eyes, I couldn't continue.
"Can I see your sword?" The clan leader was stunned and spoke again.
"Ci'ao, it turns out that what I said was not what I thought. I thought it was when we were warming up by the fire..." I cursed secretly in my heart.
"Okay, okay..." I didn't dare to hesitate, pulled out the sword and handed it over.
The clan leader smiled and took the sword and looked at it in her hand. The smile on her face instantly froze. She raised her hand and slowly brushed it over the sword.
A dazzling golden light flashed, and the black sword body immediately turned into a cold light. The strange seal carving patterns on the sword hilt appeared, and dots of red light similar to talismans appeared from the inside out of the sword body.
I have only seen this move demonstrated by Fang Zhengren. It is true that this sword was blinded by the master, but how did the clan leader in front of me make this sword show its gorgeous true form?
"This..." Heizi stared at me in surprise.
"Where is he?" The patriarch had tears in his eyes and his voice became louder.
"What?" I was a little scared.
"Your master, the owner of this sword, where is he?" the clan leader almost shouted.
"Master, he passed away..." I was so frightened that I stepped back.
"Impossible, how could he die? His cultivation level is so high..." The clan leader was stunned and immediately shook his head in denial.
"What's your master's name?" The clan leader suddenly looked at me, with a trace of murderous intent in his eyes.
"Gu Yang, Master Gu Yang..." How dare I hesitate.
"Haha... He really left me..." The patriarch seemed to be crying and laughing. I was so nervous that I didn't even dare to breathe. I even had the urge to run away.
"Mom, what's going on?" Haitang was also very anxious at the side.
"What's your father's name?" the clan leader asked with a wry smile.
"Yang Shichen." Haitang said seriously.
"What's your mother's name?" The patriarch smiled miserably.
"Gu Yue." Haitang said with a surprised expression.
I am just a pig-headed person, I understand now, Gu Yue, Yang Shichen, Gu Yangzhenren!
Could it be that the master is Haitang's father, and the man in front of him that the patriarch has been waiting for for many years?
"What's going on?" Heizi opened his mouth in surprise.
"Master is Haitang's father." I said what I was thinking.
The clan leader still smiled sadly, looking at me now, and nodded gently.
"How did he die?" The patriarch's words were filled with sadness.
"My mother died when I was born, and then my father..." I explained clearly everything that happened to me, and what happened after the master appeared.
The woman in front of me is my mistress.
"You guys go out first and leave me alone for a while." After listening to my story and my master's story, the patriarch became calm.
I didn't dare to say anything, so I stood up and exited the door. Haitang and Peony also followed, but they looked at me a little differently.
Back at the small building assigned to us, Heizi, who was originally angry, remained silent at this moment.
We were originally here to save people, but none of us expected that things would turn out like this.
The master has never mentioned his past, let alone told me that he has a daughter.
My mind is in chaos now, and I even blame the master a little. He could have made it clear in the letter he left me for such a big matter.
If we hadn't come here to help Qiu Sheng this time, would the patriarch and Haitang have been waiting for the master all their lives? To be kept in the dark all your life?
"Master, why didn't you tell me?" I couldn't help but speak.
"Maybe Master also has his own reasons." Heizi smiled bitterly, as if he understood something.
"Just say what you have to say. Why are you laughing?" I stood up and raised my voice.
"Can you please stop acting like a good guy all the time? It annoys me just to see you." Heizi suddenly turned against him, which made me froze in place for some reason.
"What did you ask the master to tell you? Everything was doomed when I first met you. Either you die, or the master dies in six years, or the Rakshasa comes out and kills everyone in the village..." Heizi shouted He cursed.
"I..." I was speechless for a moment.
"What are you doing? You are miserable. Your whole family is gone. What would you think if the master tells you that he still has a wife and daughter waiting for him? He doesn't want you to bear more guilt." Heizi glared angrily. He looked at me, he had never been so angry with me before.
"You always feel that you are miserable. You can't help it, and we have no choice. Aren't we miserable?" Heizi said and actually started to cry.
"You always think that you are the one who harmed someone. Do you know how much psychological pressure your thinking puts on the people around you? Zhang Tianyi, please understand that we chose you, not you." Kuroko cursed with tears in his eyes.
Watching Heizi slam the door and leave, my whole body fell to the ground.
Indeed, I have never thought about what Heizi said about me. I only feel that I am miserable and that the people close to me will not end well.
But my thoughts put a lot of pressure on people around me, and everyone always wanted to take care of my feelings.
If I had someone like this next to me, I would also be in a lot of pain. I would be so worried that any one of my words would suddenly touch his scar. I would be very cautious all day long, so tired.
I don't know where Heizi went. It was almost dark when I left the patriarch's house.
Haitang and Peony didn't come, and the patriarch didn't look for me again. I just sat on the floor, thinking about everything that happened around me.
Until the first ray of sunshine in the morning fell on my face through the gaps in the bamboo building, and there was a knock on the door.
"My mother wants to see you." Haitang's voice came from outside the door.
"Is Heizi okay?" My voice was hoarse.
"It's okay, your two brothers are okay too." After Haitang said that, I heard her footsteps leaving.
