"Don't talk about state affairs!" After Chen Xiaotian said this, he strode into the hall. When Han Suanzi and Liu Dahai saw Chen Xiaotian approaching, they stopped arguing. Chen Xiaotian twirled his beard and said: "You two must argue. Regarding the murder of Head He, I believe that the imperial court will find out the truth and give everyone justice!"
Han Suanzi snorted and said disdainfully: "The court?! It's been three years, and the court hasn't even given a shit! I hope they can find out the truth. I don't think they can find out the murderer until he finally dies!"
Liu Dahai also sided with Han Suanzi and said: "Old General Chen, with all due respect, you naturally believe in the imperial court when you are in officialdom. Everyone understands this, but we in the martial arts world have long lost confidence in the imperial court. Although We all want to kill enemies for our country and fight on the battlefield, but we can’t bear the shackles and restraints of officialdom. Like me, Old Liu, I think freedom is far more important than high-ranking officials and generous salaries!"
After hearing this, Chen Xiaotian secretly praised: "This monk is a person who has seen through the world."
"What a freedom!" Hao Sanniang said, "You are free now, but what should I do with my sisters?"
Liu Dahai smiled bitterly and said: "That was the wrong thing I did when I was young. I knew that my sin was serious and my heart could not be calm, so I took refuge in Buddha, hoping that Buddhism could redeem me and liberate myself."
Hao Sanniang sneered and said, "If everyone makes a mistake and hides in a temple, then what's the point of having a prison? Stop talking nonsense and risk your life!" After saying that, he thrust out a sword and struck Liu Dahai directly in the chest.
When Liu Dahai saw the sword stabbing him, he did not parry or dodge. Instead, he raised his chest in response to the sword tip. Seeing this, Hao Sanniang hurriedly flipped her wrist, and the long sword slipped past Liu Dahai's shoulder. I saw her withdrawing her sword and withdrawing her attack, and asked loudly: "Why don't you fight back?"
Liu Dahai sighed: "After so many years, I still can't feel at peace in my heart. Over the years, I have dedicated myself to Buddhism, studying martial arts, and practicing palm skills, just to drive away the guilt in my heart. But with the deepening of Buddhism, As my martial arts skills improve, my inner regret becomes deeper and deeper. Especially when I often think of what my master said to me before his death, "There is no need to practice hard, the Dharma is within me." I feel even more painful."
Chen Xiaotian said: "Master Liu, I want to advise you not to criticize yourself too much. If you are willing to let go of the self-blame in your heart, you can achieve the right results and gain liberation."
Liu Dahai smiled bitterly and said: "This is true, but how many people can do it? Even my master, the master, had an epiphany at the last moment. With my qualifications, I would probably die even if I couldn't understand it."
Chen Xiaotian asked: "I don't know what the name of my respected master is?" Liu Dahai said: "My master is the Dakini Master you just mentioned, General Chen."
Chen Xiaotian was shocked when he heard this, and said in astonishment: "Master Kong Xing has superb martial arts and deep inner strength. How could he go to Hexi before reaching the age of sixty?"
Liu Dahai didn't answer and looked around. Chen Xiaotian understood and said loudly: "Today, the Chen family did not take good care of everyone, which shocked everyone. Chen hereby deeply apologizes. If Chen is needed in the future, just send a few words and a piece of paper to Chen." You must go all out and do your best."
Everyone was secretly happy after hearing this, thinking that Chen Xiaotian always kept his word. If he asked for something, he would not sit idly by. In the future, he would have a big supporter in the world, so this trip would be considered worthwhile.
Chen Xiaotian asked again: "Where is Mr. Wang?" Wang Rong stepped forward and saluted: "What are your orders, Master?" Chen Xiaotian said: "Take all the heroes to the guild hall to have a rest, and then prepare the golden flower and silver leaf soup in the house, and give it to Send it to everyone."
The golden flowers and silver leaves are precious medicines that harmonize qi and blood, and are of great benefit to the internal strength of martial arts practitioners. Seeing Chen Xiaotian's generosity, everyone was happy and left one after another. Apart from the Chen family and his son, the only people left in the hall were Liu Dahai, Hao Sanniang, Bujiu Busuo, Liu Chaozhong, Pan Suxuan, and Zhao Niantong.
Chen Xiaotian turned to Hao Sanniang and said, "Hao Nvxia, how can you resolve the hatred between you and Master Liu?" Hao Sanniang said, "Old General Chen, I advise you not to waste your efforts. The hatred between sisters is irreconcilable! If you miss me, It’s okay to forgive him, unless he dies by my sword!”
Liu Dahai smiled bitterly and said: "It is not my wish to leave her two sisters behind. I have feelings for them both. I wanted to marry them back home, but unfortunately I have important matters and my father-in-law needs me." Help, I had no choice but to leave them.”
Hao Sanniang said disdainfully: "So you are going to repay your kindness?" Liu Dahai said: "That's right! My benefactor asked me to accompany him to do something. I left in a hurry, so I didn't say goodbye to her two."
Hao Sanniang sneered: "Let me ask you, what exactly requires you to leave for ten years?!"
Liu Dahai hesitated: "This... I can't say this! I promised my benefactor not to tell me about this."
Hao Sanniang said angrily: "You are obviously talking nonsense! Stop talking nonsense and suffer death!" A sword stabbed out and went straight to Liu Dahai's belly. Liu Dahai closed his eyes and did not dodge, just hoping that this sword would stab him to death.
Unexpectedly, Hao Sanniang's sword peak turned and suddenly descended, cutting off a piece of flesh from Liu Dahai's right leg. Then Hao Sanniang said: "Want to die? It's not easy! If you don't fight back, I will cut you into pieces!" After saying that, he stabbed Liu Dahai's left leg with another sword. There was a flash of cold light, and Liu Dahai fell on his back, bleeding from his chest.
Everyone was shocked, but Hao Sanniang was also stunned on the spot. Seeing this, Pan Suxuan and Chen Mo hurriedly came forward to provide first aid, tapping several large acupoints such as Tiantu and Juque to stop the bleeding. Chen Yixin also ran quickly to the inner hall and got the gold-creating medicine to apply it on him. But the injury was too severe. Although the bleeding in his chest had stopped, Liu Dahai was already turning blue, his eyes were listless, and he was about to die.
Zhao Niantong shouted loudly: "You are such a cruel woman! Master Liu has tolerated you again and again, how can you do it?!"
Hao Sanniang looked slightly flustered and said, "I...I didn't want to stab him in the chest. How...how could this happen?"
Zhao Niantong said angrily: "It was obviously you who drew the sword, but you still want to deny it?! Could it be that the sword can't bend?" Hao Sanniang was at a loss for words and didn't know how to answer. Just listen to Chen Xiaotian say: "Hao Nuxia, now that your great revenge has been avenged, do you feel relieved?"
Hao Sanniang pondered for a long time, shook her head and said: "If I kill him, my sisters will not be able to come back to life, but they will take another life. Anyway, I have fulfilled my promise, my wish is fulfilled, and I have no regrets in this life! If you want to do something, If Liu Dahai is a vengeful person, feel free to come to me! I'll wait for you in Taohua Town, Jiangbei!" After saying that, he clasped his fists at everyone and turned around to leave.
Zhao Niantong saw this and said loudly to Chen Xiaotian: "Senior Chen, are you just going to let her go like this?" Chen Xiaotian smiled and said: "Then what should we do according to your wishes?"
Zhao Niantong said: "There must be an explanation for killing someone to pay for his life." Chen Xiaotian said: "When will the injustice be repaid? Today you kill her for revenge, and tomorrow someone will kill you again. Isn't this hatred endless?"
Zhao Niantong said: "Then you can't kill someone and just walk away?!" Chen Xiaotian twirled his beard and said with a smile: "Who said she killed someone? Her sword was clearly stabbed in the thigh."
