Wan Ning stared at Mo Guyuan with wide eyes. Just when she was about to scold him with a few righteous words, she suddenly thought about everything that had happened before and suppressed the words that came to her lips.
"From what you said, do you believe what he said?" Wan Ning frowned and said displeased.
Mo Guyuan pointed at shopkeeper Tong who was lying on the ground and said bluntly
"Do you think Shopkeeper Tong is telling lies? As the saying goes, when a person is about to die, his words are also good. Can't you still see that Shopkeeper Tong wants to die? I did it for you in Xinghua Village before If we can achieve what we want, we will leave the entire Xinghua Village alone. Later, he was severely injured by Jiang Chen in order to save you. Even if we escaped, he still insisted on coming to this cave lake. You must know that this is where he met and fell in love with the woman he likes. It shows that shopkeeper Tong is not an ungrateful person, I think there must be something hidden in it." Mo Guyuan's tone was a little heavy, but every word was focused on the key points, so that Wan Ning didn't know how to speak.
Yu Qingqing on the side rolled his eyes, thought for a while, and said seriously
"From what you said, it seems like this is really the case. Could it be that he turned back as a prodigal son and his conscience found out?" Mo Guyuan said with a dark face, poking her forehead with his finger and saying helplessly.
"Let's get down to business. Be serious. What I mean is that what shopkeeper Tong said before should not deceive us. If he really leaked the traces of the dragon back then and acted deliberately in order to gain the favor of the master, thousands of years have passed. Why is it that Shopkeeper Tong’s cultivation level is still in the Qi Transformation realm, and when we left Shiwanda Mountain and met him on the side of the ancient road, Shopkeeper Tong was clearly just an ordinary stall keeper." Yu Qingqing grabbed Mo with both hands. Gu Yuan's finger was bared and he was about to open his mouth and bite it. Mo Guyuan was frightened when he saw it, but he still didn't pull his hand away.
Yu Qinggang pretended to scare him, but in the end she didn't bite him. She brushed off his fingers and said casually.
"I know, this matter has nothing to do with me anyway, you can handle it yourself." Mo Guyuan was so disturbed by Yu Qingzhong, but he couldn't get angry. He couldn't laugh or cry at the moment, so he could only look away and look at Wan Ning, Fortunately, the latter listened to his previous words and did not act impulsively again.
After a while, Wan Ning lowered his head and glanced at Shopkeeper Tong, walked slowly to one side, then bent down and squatted on the ground, and said blankly
"Back then, my mother told me that she had been recuperating by the Donghu Lake. She knew that there were iron swords hanging under the three arch bridges in Xinghua Village, so she didn't dare to act rashly for a while. After all, those iron swords were originally aimed at people walking on the river. The suppression of subordinates cannot be underestimated." Shopkeeper Tong turned around with difficulty, looked at her anxiously, and asked deeply
"Then what happened? Where did she go?" After hearing this, Wan Ning immediately turned to look at Shopkeeper Tong, her confused face turning cold again.
"You still have the nerve to ask me, weren't you the one who led my mother away from Donghu Lake? You told my mother that you had a way to make her go back to the river. You said that you had taken down the iron sword in Xinghua Village. , so that my mother can travel freely without any worries, she believed it to be true, but in the end, she was taken into Guanhe River by you and hunted by those monks on the mountain. She had no choice but to escape into Guanshui. She thought that as long as she walked through this big river smoothly, Even with my mother's cultivation, I have the strength to break through the bottleneck. But under those arch bridges, the iron swords at the bottom of the bridges are clearly still hanging. You lied to my mother and she almost died on the spot. If it hadn't been for my mother's hard work. The Taoist body protector who has damaged his body for thousands of years can't escape from Xinghua Village!" At the end of the sentence, Wan Ning's face was already a bit crazy, and tears filled her cheeks.
Several people looked at Wan Ning's appearance and were stunned for a moment, not knowing how to comfort her. Looking at her sincere gesture, one can imagine how helpless and tormented her mother was back then.
"My mother was desperate and was forced to stand in the river. She could only watch the monks from behind attacking her. But because she was already pregnant with me at that time, in order to prevent me from falling into the hands of the Xian family monks, she finally My mother stirred up the flood of Guanhe River and spit out her inner elixir to give herself a chance of survival. Then she escaped into the underground of Guanhe River and fled to the Hidden Dragon Cave upstream of Xinghua Village. She hid there until she gave birth to me. , my mother died with hatred." Wan Ning covered her face and said in pain.
Shopkeeper Tong gasped and struggled to sit up. He tremblingly tried to reach out to Wan Ning and said urgently.
"How could it be so? I have never taken Qingdai out of Donghu Lake. Why do you say that I led Qingdai into Guanhe River? Not to mention that I took down the iron sword under the bridge in Xinghua Village. Even the Qingdai you mentioned was taken down by the monks on the mountain. I have never heard of the pursuit. When I returned from Shiwan Mountain, I also asked the monks including the monks from the other two mountains. They knew nothing about it. They had never heard of Guanhe and Jiaolong on this Shijiang Mountain. "Yes." Wan Ning turned her head away, tears streaming down her face, she gritted her teeth and said, holding back her anger.
"Is it possible that my mother would have lied to me after she told me what she said? If it hadn't been for you, do you think she would have left the Donghu Lake with the others? The first time my mother walked across the river, she was seriously injured by an iron sword under the Xinghua Village Bridge. There was a shadow already there. It's just that you said you took off the iron sword. With your mother's trust in you, you won't doubt it. But when she got into the water and found that the iron sword was still under the bridge, and the monks were chasing her from behind, you knew what your mother would do. How unwilling are you to despair? But as for you, you just looked at each other coldly on the shore, indifferent. All of this was clearly planned by you, and it was you who caused your mother to give up her inner elixir and give up what she had practiced for thousands of years. Daoxing, in the end, he had nothing and died alone and helpless in the Hidden Dragon Cave."
"From the moment my mother gave birth to me, from the moment I developed spiritual intelligence, she told me everything. Do you think she gave birth to me because she missed you? I miss you? Let me tell you, I am Come to avenge my mother. Even if it costs me my life, I swear that I will engulf you and the entire Xinghua Village and make you completely disappear from this world. The meaning of my life is to wipe out all of you wolf-hearted people. Send to hell!" Wan Ning roared, and the emotions she had suppressed for a long time finally broke out at this moment. She looked at Shopkeeper Tong with reluctance and pain, and more of a hatred for the person in front of her.
Despite this, Wan Ning still tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart and did not take any extreme actions. For her, even though she was born as a tool for her mother's revenge, she was willing to do so. She was even more crazy and impulsive than the hatred instilled by her mother, but when she saw that moment, shopkeeper Tong desperately blocked it for her. The blow of the dragon-slaying sword touched the family love she had never experienced before. After all, the two of them had the same blood in their bodies. Blood dissolves in water. Some things are destined to be parted and thrown away.
Since they wanted to know the whole story of what happened back then, they wanted him to clearly understand what he had done, who betrayed whom, and who caused his mother to die without a trace of peace, and why he still refused to admit it in the end. ’s doings.
Shopkeeper Tong's words of hard work came out of his mouth for no reason. He couldn't imagine how desperate and painful Qingdai felt at that time. If that person was really him, Qingdai must have hated herself.
But what about the facts? After all these years of sinking and delusion, he finally heard that even he was a little confused. He didn't know what the specific truth was. When did he start to become confused and his memory gradually faded away?
On the bank of Donghu Lake, a few people stood there in shock. Seeing the way shopkeeper Tong mourned his death, Mo Guyuan always felt that something was wrong. After sorting it out carefully, Mo Guyuan suddenly asked
"If it is true as Miss Wan Ning said, the person who took Qingdai away that year was really you, Shopkeeper Tong?" Shopkeeper Tong shook his head first, and then nodded, vacillating left and right, which made Mo Guyuan look puzzled. Was he the one who left with Qingdai? Why did he say before that he went to Shiwanda Mountain, but when he returned to Donghu Lake, there was no sign of Qingdai.
"What does it matter now whether it's me or not? Qingdai's last wish was for Wan Ning to kill me. If so, how could I let her down? As long as Wan Ning kills me, Qingdai's spirit in heaven will surely be able to rest in peace. Come on...Wan Ning, go ahead and kill me, and it will be considered as fulfilling your mother's wish..." Shopkeeper Tong closed his eyes tiredly, already feeling despair, maybe for him He said that only by dying can he be freed.
Wan Ning looked at Shopkeeper Tong's face so close. He was old and pale. He was already dying in his dying years. He was getting weaker and weaker now. It seemed that he would fall down at any time if the wind blew.
"Wan Ning, although I am a dying person, if you can kill me with your own hands, then your own knot will be untied. I am sorry for Qingdai in this life, and I am even more sorry for you. I am the one who harmed you two. I It's not a pity to die. It's my fault that I failed to take good care of Qingdai and failed her. Everything is my fault..." Wan Ning was devastated. It seemed that she was driven by persistence for so many years. By some strange coincidence, she slowly Xu raised his hand, with sharp claws in front of him, and grabbed Shopkeeper Tong's neck.
At close range, when Wan Ning was about to take off shopkeeper Tong's head, Mo Guyuan hurriedly stretched out a hand to stop Wan Ning, which woke her up from her nightmare. Wan Ning looked at her actions in shock, and was frozen in place for a moment. He grabbed hold of himself with his other hand.
"Shopkeeper Tong, what happened back then was so vague, are you really willing to accept your fate? If it wasn't you who took Qingdai away, but someone else, maybe the real culprit is still at large. How could you and Miss Wan Ning stay out of it?" Gu Yuan said from the side.
Yu Qingxing's eyes lit up, and her eyes looking at Mo Guyuan were a little more colorful, and she agreed.
"That's right, the matter hasn't been clarified yet. Even if you want to die, you can't keep that woman in the dark all her life. Shouldn't you pursue the truth and prove that she didn't misjudge you?"
