At this time, Wu Xingzhi said in the hall: "Wei Er is in charge. There is a square button beside the darkroom door that can be used to open the door. Xiaoxiang will be entrusted to you. In addition, we imprisoned everyone in Qihuang Villa and pretended to be our prisoners. We only hope Tianji Pavilion still has some conscience, don’t kill innocent people indiscriminately.”
Wei Jing kept struggling, but he couldn't exert any strength. At this time, the dark room was dark, and Wei Jing could clearly hear the movements and conversations in the hall.
Jiang Qiyuan added: "Although Brother Wei is an outstanding young hero, according to Jiang's opinion, his heart is a bit too soft. Brother Wei does not need to blame himself for what happened today. If I can win a chance for you and Xiaoxiang, everyone will be happy." Brothers will never look back and will never complain. I hope Brother Wei will have a smooth journey in the future, continue to be a hero in the world, and be a hero that everyone admires!"
Kang Dahu also smiled and said: "Exactly, we can live without me, Lao Kang, but we cannot live without Brother Wei!"
Wei Jing felt great grief in his heart, tears welled up in his eyes unknowingly, but his body was still completely motionless and could not move at all.
After that, the remaining people in Chengyun Village just brought the wine stored in the village one by one, and gathered in the hall to have a big drink. Everyone looked at death as if they were home, and sang and laughed loudly. However, Wei Jing heard everything, but his heart was as sharp as a knife. Cut.
A few moments later, there were sounds of footsteps coming from outside the village, coming from all directions. It was obvious that Chengyun Village had been kept airtight. At this time, a middle-aged man walked into the hall. He was wearing a straight white dress and had his hands behind his back. Behind him, who looks like a scholar and scholar, is Ji Cangran, the master of Tianji Pavilion. Behind him are more than a dozen people from Tianji Pavilion, including Lou Yongyue, one of the three deputy masters.
After Ji Cangran came to the hall, his eyes met with Jiang Qiyuan's. Everyone in Chengyun Village put down their wine bowls and wine jars and gathered behind Jiang Qiyuan. The two brothers looked at each other speechlessly. The whole place was silent for a long time before Ji Cangran spoke. Said: "Second brother has already expected what will happen today?"
Jiang Qiyuan said lightly: "I'm not sure whether you will take action seriously, but your hatred has never diminished, so what happened today is not surprising. What kind of trouble has Tianji Pavilion encountered recently?"
Then Kang Dahu pushed him to the stone table and said: "Qingyu, long time no see, let's have a drink with my second brother."
He picked up the wine vat with one hand and added new wine to the wine bowl on the table.
Ji Cangran just nodded and walked towards the stone table. On the side, Lou Yongyue followed after seeing this, but Ji Cangran said no, just let their brothers talk.
After Ji Cangran sat down, he drank a large bowl of wine in one mouthful, and then said: "Yes, many people on the martial arts road have begun to investigate what Tianji Pavilion has done, and there are many famous sects among them. Even if there are people behind me, The imperial court is supporting us, but it is already stretched thin at the moment.”
Jiang Qiyuan added wine to Ji Cangran while smiling bitterly: "It's not easy to be an enemy of the entire martial arts world by yourself, Qingyu, don't you think so?"
At this time, the two of them were talking about the Tianji Pavilion. It was like a normal conversation between brothers. It was not like a life-or-death situation at all. Ji Cangran also smiled bitterly and said: "Yeah, thinking about my father and eldest brother, maybe we, the Jiang family, are destined to be like this." Go to extremes.”
Jiang Qiyuan also drank up the yellow soup in the bowl and was about to add more. Ji Cangran had already picked up the wine jar and poured a bowl for Jiang Qiyuan.
Jiang Qiyuan suddenly said: "Qingyu, it's not too late to rein in the situation now. Stop."
Ji Cangran just shook his head and said quietly: "Just as I will never ask you to help Tianji Pavilion, nor will I ask you to hand over Xiaoxiang, you should not ask me to stop."
Jiang Qiyuan said again: "You have joined forces with the imperial court to create trouble in the martial arts world through "The Return of Ten Thousand Warriors", but there are no eternal secrets in the world. One day, this relationship will be revealed and you will have no place in the world. , What will be the benefit of your insistence on revenge in the end? My father, mother, and the people who died in Fengyun Village will never be able to come back to life again."
Ji Cangran's tone suddenly changed at this moment, and he said solemnly: "Where can I stay? If in ten years there is no more "jianghu" in the world, where can I not find a place to stay?"
Jiang Qiyuan was stunned for a moment and repeated: "There are no more rivers and lakes in the world?"
At this time, Wei Jing heard this sentence inside, and he felt suspicious in his heart. Could it be that what he wanted was not just revenge?
Ji Cangran said again: "The imperial court wants to use me and use Jianghu people to deal with Jianghu people. How can I not know? It's just that they have their own plans, and I also have mine. If I can't let go of Fengyun Alliance's destruction, it will be fifty years old." That happened years ago, and what I want to do now is not just revenge."
Seeing that Ji Cangran's ambition was about to be revealed, Jiang Qiyuan was extremely calm. He took another sip of wine and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
Ji Cangran asked, "What does second brother think of 'Jianghu'?"
Jiang Qiyuan didn't think much and replied in just four words: "The place of right and wrong."
Ji Cangran nodded and said: "That's it. After decades of martial arts career, and now looking back on the Fengyun Alliance, I understand that there is not much difference between the upright martial arts and the evil evil. As long as there are high and low martial arts, there is righteousness. If the evil ways are different, the disputes will never end, and what happened in the Fengyun Alliance will only happen again and again."
Then he added: "Although my father established a stronghold back then, he never killed innocent people indiscriminately and did things that were harmful to nature and justice. Why did he end up with everyone shouting for beatings and an unforgivable end?"
Jiang Qiyuan pondered for a long time and said calmly: "So, do you want to use the power of the imperial court to make 'Jianghu' disappear from the world?"
At this time, Wei Jing did not hear Ji Cangran's answer. Jiang Qiyuan sighed: "The cycle of heaven has its own principles of operation. If you forcefully interfere, even if you occasionally achieve success, you will definitely not achieve good results in the end."
Ji Cangran said: "'Jianghu' has existed since ancient times, but I don't believe that this is the way of heaven."
As Ji Cangran slowly stood up and walked away from the stone table with his hands behind his hands, the sound of weapons being unsheathed came from everywhere. Wei Jing's heart sank, knowing that the brothers' conversation had come to an end, Ji Cangran said again: "Second brother, what else do you have? What do you want to say?"
Jiang Qiyuan closed his eyes and said, "My heart is so bright, what else can I say?"
At this time, Wu Xingzhi, Chang Shijie, Kang Dahu and everyone in Chengyun Village took out their weapons and stood beside Jiang Qiyuan. However, Ji Cangran remained silent. Jiang Qiyuan did not speak when he saw this and just looked at Ji Cangran.
After a while, Ji Cangran turned his back to everyone in Chengyun Village and said to Lou Yongyue and others: "Kill them all."
Wei Jing only heard the sound of killings in the hall. During this period, he kept twisting and turning, wishing that his acupuncture points could be released earlier so that he could rush out of the dark room and help Chengyun Village. However, he could not move and could only listen to Chengyun. The people in the village were shouting and shouting for death. Later, the voices gradually became fainter and finally became silent, which also announced the end of the war.
Although Wei Jing knew that there was little hope, he still prayed silently in his heart, hoping that everyone in Chengyun Village would win. However, Ji Cangran's words completely disappointed Wei Jing's expectations. Ji Cangran said quietly: "Let's search the village again."
Following the sound of footsteps, everyone moved everywhere.
Lou Yongyue suddenly said: "There are a group of people incarcerated in the cell in Chengyun Village. Their identities are unknown. How should they be dealt with?"
Wei Jing's heart was racing. At this time, the life and death of the old and weak people in Qihuang Villa depended on Ji Cangran's words. Ji Cangran said: "Don't do anything yet, take me over and have a look."
When Ji Cangran and everyone gradually left, there was no sound in the hall, leaving only dead silence.
For several hours after that, people could be heard moving around in the village, and the sound of moving could be heard from time to time in the hall. Occasionally, someone was talking, but what was said could not be heard clearly.
During this period, Xiaoxiang had slowly woken up, but saw that she was in darkness, and there was another person lying beside her. She was a little panicked, but she couldn't see anything, and she didn't know how to open the darkroom, so she could only keep anxious. .
When Wei Jing's acupuncture points gradually eased and his body could move slightly, he motioned to Xiao Xiang not to panic and to wait patiently. At this time, there was no sound around the hall.
After a while, Wei Jing's hands and feet finally returned to normal. He couldn't wait any longer and hurriedly opened the darkroom according to the method Wu Xingzhi taught him. The only people he saw were the empty hall and everyone in Chengyun Village was nowhere to be found.
Xiao Xiang asked anxiously: "What's going on? Where are Uncle Jiang and the others?"
Wei Jing had the worst plan in mind, but he was still determined to reach the Yellow River. He did not answer immediately, but searched everywhere in Chengyun Village. During this period, no matter how Xiao Xiang pressed him, Wei Jing still did not say a word. Later, Xiaoxiang also guessed why Wei Jing was acting like this, so he followed him to find someone.
Finally, the two finally saw many tombs in an open space on the back hill of Chengyun Village. There was a wooden board in front of the tombs as tombstones, but there was no writing on them. The deepest one had an obviously more exquisite tombstone with the words "The tomb of Jiang Qiyuan, the leader of Chengyun Village", there is a jar of wine and a bouquet of dragon claw flowers in front of the tomb.
Seeing this scene, Wei Jing finally understood that everyone in Chengyun Village was dead. He just stared at the graves blankly. Xiaoxiang's tears were already streaming down his face. He sat down on the grass and murmured: "Uncle Jiang... ...Second Uncle Wu...Dahu..."
