Wang Suizhen's eyes turned red, tears fell like rain, and he choked with sadness: "Brother Changshan, who is so powerful that... actually hurt you?"
Since the last bloodbath in Liu Town in Qingzhai, Wang Suizhen has no relatives anymore. He has long regarded Changshan and his master as his closest relatives. Seeing that Changshan's life is in danger, he can't help but be heartbroken!
Changshan tried his best to comfort him with a hoarse voice: "Just don't cry, don't you remember the rules? Our road is originally a road of licking blood on the knife's head, a dead end! I... I, Changshan, can I am very content to have survived until now.”
Changshan paused and then said: "I can't survive today. I am holding my breath with my secret skills and waiting for you to come! I have some important words to tell you. You must hurry up and do it!"
Wang Suizhen wiped away his tears with his sleeves, nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Changshan, please tell me, I will do it right away."
Changshan said: "Go quickly to the small temple where I met you. On the crossbeam in the temple, I went to the master and told him that the Lan Master of the Bailan Sect has arrived in Bingzhou with his magic weapon. That person... that person has reached the land. At the upper realm of Sword Immortal, the master is no match for that person. He must quickly go to Baimu Mountain to ask the master to take action... Wow..."
After Changshan said this, he couldn't talk any more. He started vomiting blood in his mouth, and the blood was also mixed with pieces of suspected internal organs!
Wang Suizhen hurriedly wiped away the remaining bloody foam on Changshan's face with his sleeves, and cried out in pain: "Brother Changshan! Brother Changshan! How are you? Brother Changshan? Are you okay?"
Chang Shan suddenly stretched out his arm, grabbed Wang Suizhen's shoulders fiercely, and urged urgently: "Go quickly... hurry... hurry..."
Wang Suizhen only felt that there seemed to be a flash of green light on Changshan's face, and then Changshan's face slowly withered like leaves in the bleak autumn wind.
Wang Suizhen thought he had been blinded, so he wiped his eyes hard, looked carefully, and saw that he was not mistaken. Changshan's skin was indeed like bark at this time, dry and wrinkled!
When Wang Suizhen saw that Changshan had passed away, the sadness in his heart surged up like a river, and he cried loudly: "Brother Changshan! Wake up, you don't want to die! Brother Changshan!?"
Chang Hao and Chang Jingyuan heard Wang Suizhen's cry and hurriedly opened the door and entered the house. Seeing that Chang Shan was dead, the father and son couldn't help but burst into tears.
The three of them cried for a while. Chang Hao stopped crying and waved his hands to clear away the servants.
Chang Jingyuan also walked out, closed the door with his backhand, and guarded the door himself.
Chang Hao said to Wang Suizhen: "Brother Suizhen, the rules of the sect prohibit excessive sadness. Don't cry. Did Brother Changshan get hurt at the hands of those thieves from the Bailan Sect?"
Wang Suizhen wiped away his tears and said: "Brother Chang Hao, Brother Changshan said that Master Lanlan of the Lanlan Sect brought a magic weapon to Bingzhou and said that the man had reached the realm of Land Sword Immortal. He asked me to tell Master that you must not follow that person. If someone takes action, let me go to Baimu Mountain with Master and ask Master to take action..."
Chang Hao's face changed greatly, and he said in shock: "Land Sword Immortal?! Worship the Blue Master of the Blue Sect!? Magic weapon!? This... Well, if I hadn't become a cripple when I passed through the tribulation of life and death, and exited the Deadwood Gate, today I must go to Baimu Mountain in person to ask for Master!"
Wang Suizhen finally understood. It turned out that Chang Hao was not born paralyzed, but because he failed to successfully survive the life and death catastrophe in the dead wood magic skill, which led to the paralysis of his lower body!
Wang Suizhen was still a rookie who had just entered the world. He didn't know much about anything and didn't know what to do. He hurriedly asked Chang Hao for advice: "Brother Chang Hao, I..."
Chang Hao sighed and shook his head, his face full of sadness. He didn't know whether he was sad because of Chang Shan's death, or because he became a useless person, or both!
"Junior Brother Mochou is a genius in our Withered Wood Sect. With his training progress, he should have reached the land of immortals long ago! A mere Blue Master is definitely no match for Junior Brother Mochou!"
"But Master Lan actually has a magic weapon in his hand! Looking at the injuries on Changshan's body, this magic weapon is really no small matter! This magic weapon... this... Although Junior Brother Mochou has the Ku... Ku... God in his hand... But...but that incident back then..."
Chang Hao murmured to himself, then suddenly his face changed, and he said in surprise: "So...it's not good! If Junior Brother Mochou encounters this Blue Master, he will definitely die. He must go to Baimu Mountain to ask the master to come out. Changshan can follow you." Where did you say you were going to find Junior Brother Mochou?"
Wang Suizhen replied: "They said they wanted me to go to the temple in Liu Town."
Chang Hao said: "Liuzhen? It's not too far from here. You have met Junior Brother Mochou. No matter what, you have to trick him into coming here. You must not let him go to trouble with the Bailan Sect." , this matter is related to the life and death of Junior Brother Mochou, Brother Suizhen, do you understand?"
Wang Suizhen nodded solemnly and said: "I understand! Since it's not too far away, it's better to go sooner rather than later, so I'll set off to find the master now."
Chang Hao muttered: "It is not appropriate for outsiders to interfere in the affairs of the sect. Brother Zuizhen, are you familiar with Liu Zhen?"
Wang Suizhen replied: "I grew up in Liuzhen since I was a child, and I am very familiar with Liuzhen."
Chang Hao raised his voice and said, "Okay! Jingyuan, come in!"
Chang Jingyuan, who had been waiting outside the door, entered in response.
Chang Hao said: "Now I will lead you to Liu Town with Uncle Zhen. When you get to Liu Town, you will come back immediately. You can't delay for a moment. I will keep vigil for your Uncle Changshan and the funeral will be held tomorrow!"
Chang Jingyuan nodded in agreement.
Wang Suizhen glanced at Changshan's body, and tears welled up in his eyes again. He knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times to Changshan solemnly, and cried: "Brother Changshan, I'm going to find the master now. One day in the future, I will definitely avenge your blood and hatred, and use the blue master’s dog head to sacrifice your soul! Don’t worry!”
Wang Suizhen turned around and walked out of the courtyard, tears streaming down his face.
To Wang Suizhen, Changshan was both a teacher and a friend, much more cordial than Master Mochou!
Now that Chang Shan died, Wang Suizhen suddenly felt lonely in his heart. In the past, Chang Shan accompanied him to practice swordsmanship on Yunmeng Mountain and talked about the allusions of Jianghu. The scene after scene came to his mind.
As he was getting on his horse, Chang Hao asked his servants to carry him out. He handed Wang Suizhen a bag of dried meat and a small bag of gold and silver, and said, "Brother Suizhen, be careful on the road. Go early and come back early! Wait for Junior Brother Mochou. Come back, let's discuss the next step."
Wang Suizhen agreed, received the package, and urged his horse to go.
As soon as we left the village, the sky was filled with rustling and heavy snow fell like goose feathers.
Riding a horse at night is inherently slow, and when it snows, the road becomes slippery, making it even harder to walk.
Fortunately, Chang Jingyuan comes from a wealthy family, and both horses are fine horses. Moreover, both of them are martial arts masters with extremely strong physical fitness. They took advantage of the snow light to urge the horses to move.
After walking for more than an hour, Chang Jingyuan reined in his horse, pointed to the low house in the distance, and said: "Uncle Sui Zhen, the village in front is Liu Town. My father has a destiny, I will turn around right away." Got it!"
Wang Suizhen looked carefully at the low house in the distance, thought for a while, and said to himself: "Yes, that is the house of the second aunt next door."
Wang Suizhen agreed. After Chang Jingyuan disappeared, he estimated the location of the small temple in Liu Town, turned his horse's head, and headed south.
Snowflakes are falling and the north wind is blowing.
The snow was extremely heavy tonight. In less than an hour, the snow reached the horse's knees.
Wang Suizhen saw that the already exhausted horse was becoming more and more difficult to walk, sinking every step of the way, so he had to go down to the ground to lead the horse and move forward hard.
It was a dark snowy night. After Chang Jingyuan left, Wang Suizhen led his horse and walked for another hour in the vast snowfield, but still saw no trace of the small temple he was looking for.
It seems that it was because the snow was too heavy and I went in the wrong direction?
He was a little unsure. After all, he had not been back to Liu Town for three years, and his memory seemed to be a little off.
At this time, the night was dark and the snow was extremely thick. Wang Suizhen did not give up. He walked forward in the vast snowfield for more than half an hour, one man and one horse, but he still did not reach the small temple that he should have arrived a long time ago.
Wang Suizhen finally confirmed that he had indeed gone astray!
The horse finally began to become impatient. I don't know if it was cold, hungry, or both? It started snoring non-stop, and its hooves began to tremble non-stop!
No matter what I did, the horse just refused to move!
Wang Suizhen felt helpless, so he climbed up a nearby tree and looked around. He saw a faint light swaying about a mile away in front of him.
He thought to himself: "Wherever there is light, there is a home. Let me go and ask first, where is this place? Let the horse eat some grass and rest for a while before we talk."
Wang Suizhen pushed and pulled, forcing the horse to move forward little by little. When he got to where the light was, he saw that it was indeed a family.
Although the night is deep, there are still faintly flickering lights coming out of the window lattice.
The small courtyard has white walls and black tiles, and the wooden door is not too big, but it is very delicate.
The snow in front of the door was not deep, and it was obvious that someone had just cleaned it not long ago.
Wang Suizhen shook off the snow on his body and reached out to knock on the door.
A beaming old voice soon came from the yard: "Here it comes! It's finally here! Oh~ stop knocking~ here it comes~!"
With a creak, the wooden door opened. A smooth-looking white-haired old man in his fifties held a lantern high. He looked at Wang Suizhen outside the door and was stunned for a moment. He looked into the distance again and saw that Wang Suizhen was the only one. There was a man and a horse behind him. The old man couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Why are you alone? Could it be that something happened in the village?"
Wang Suizhen was confused by the question and said: "Old man, I'm on my way on a snowy night. I don't want to take a side road. May I ask where this is? How far is it from Liu Town?"
When the old man heard this, he understood that the person in front of him was a passer-by, not the guest he was waiting for. He immediately became very impatient, and looked into the distance, and said casually: "This is Yang Town. It's about thirty miles away from Liu Town. Hey, boy, did you see anyone else on the road?"
Wang Suizhen shook his head: "Didn't you see anyone else? I want to use the old man's place to rest the horse. Let the horse rest for an hour or two and then I will leave. Please make it convenient for the old man."
The old man's eyes widened, and he was very unhappy. He waved his hands and refused: "I have some urgent things to do here. Is there any free space that I can lend you? Is this really a joke? You'd better leave quickly! Let's go!" Let’s go!”
Wang Suizhen thought: "That's it, otherwise I'll leave this horse to this old man, and I'll just walk to the temple. It's not that far anyway!"
But then he thought again: "I started walking from Liuzhen, but I couldn't find the temple. The night is so dim now, the lights are blind, and the snow is so heavy. If I start from here, even if I find it at dawn, I don't know if I can find it. Find that small temple? If we go further and further away, won’t it waste more time? Why not just rest here and wait until daylight comes. It’s only thirty miles away and can be reached in a matter of minutes on horseback!”
Wang Suizhen made up his mind, reached out and took out a small piece of silver from his bag, handed it to the old man, and pleaded: "You don't have to live in the old man's house, as long as there is a stable for the horses to rest and eat some fodder. That’s all, I’ll just stay in the stable, and I’ll leave as soon as it gets light, and I won’t dare to miss the old man’s business!”
