Chapter 74 full of wind and rain, I come from the sea (3)
The sunrise to the east, in order to Lin Lu after the hill, slightly warm morning light without the traces of xiwei, melt shrouded in the hill, the sword hut master and disciple count more than ten people, all in the warm light, stand against the sun, it looks like an oil painting.
Below the hill, the three generations of disciples of the Sword Lodge, the sword boy and the servants and officials who had served the Four Gu Swords for countless years, looked at this scene, knowing that the patriarch of Dongyi City had come to his last moment, countless people could not hide their sorrowful voices, and fell to their knees, kowtowing more than once in the direction of the hill.
On the hillside, in the mountain residence, Fan Xian and Shadow looked over there, and although their faces were not moved, their hearts were already moved. Fan Xian suddenly felt that his mood was a bit strange, in fact, after so many years, his relationship with Dong Yi City had always been extremely complicated, especially for the Four Gu Swords, a great master, he actually didn’t have any deep inner knowledge, he only knew that the other party was a superbly strong man, a bull who could change the world’s situation with a sword in his hand, and in many past years, the Four Gu Swords had been his greatest enemy, however, the moon and the stars had moved, and people and people had changed. However, as the moon moved and the stars turned, the relationship between people had changed so drastically.
But Fan Xian even last night, for the four Gu Jian also do not have any extra feelings, he and the four Gu Jian negotiations, just both sides based on some kind of interest in the purpose of cooperation. For a great master who had killed many of his subordinates and many celebrities, Fan Xian really couldn’t give birth to too many sighs of relief.
However, at this moment.
The sunlight came, and Fan Xian couldn’t help but smile bitterly to himself as he looked at the skinny figure on the hill, wondering if he had been blinded, and had actually seen this Great Patriarch as a revolutionary who guarded the world and loved the people.
The shadow took a step toward the mountain gate and stood quietly, transfixed, looking at the Four Guards Sword at the top of the mountain, looking at the last few breaths of his elder brother, whose life was entangled and hurt with his, on earth.
Fan Xian retreated behind the shadow of the mountain gate and fell silent. For some reason, the heart blood slightly come to the tide, the body of the two strands of very different nature of the true qi slowly run up, especially the back waist of the snowy mountain at the powerful overbearing true qi, along the two arms to release the hair, in the edge of the palm of the hand turnover and back to the formation of an extremely rounded true qi circuits, from the palm of the palm of the palm of the palm of the palm of the palm of the palm of the palm of the palm of the palm, but is extremely sensitive to a true qi outwardly.
He felt something, sensed something, sideways glance toward the east, until the pale sea there, under the red sunrise is breathing under the sea shore waves.
The gaze of the Four Gu Swords on the hilltop also fell at the waves.
There was a wind in the distance, holding a slightly wet drizzle. The sunrise in the sky, there is a touch of heavy dark clouds. The wind and rain came, seemingly as a farewell, seemingly as a baptism.
Except for Fan Xian and the dying Four Gu Swords, no one sensed the aura that the man had deliberately released. Fan Xian quietly left the mountain residence, from the sword hut four sides of the people worshipped in the ground behind the departure, oblique swept into Dongyi city, will be their speed to the fastest degree, only used a very short time, will step through the people’s homes and businesses, through the port ship, came to the city of Dongyi outside the East China Sea, neighboring the coast of a secluded beach on top of the beach.
At this time, the raindrops on the sea shore had already fallen down intensively, hitting the beach with ten thousand pits.
A gray shadow swept past, then extremely forcefully stopped on the green stone beside the beach, and it was Fan Xian. He squinted his eyes at the small pits struck by the rain on the beach, and suddenly thought of those traces left on the beach many years ago, under the cliffs of Tanyu, as he watched the half-small boat sink.
The wind and rain didn’t get any stronger, it just blew and landed in such a clear, soft and cold manner. The sunrise rose a little higher, rising behind the rain clouds. The light of the whole Dongyi City was darkened, especially the sea, the waves slapped the rocks, stirring up countless water mists, which intersected with the slanting wind and fine rain that landed in the air, adding a little bit of misty color.
Behind the mist, slowly revealed the figure of a huge ship, the ship body is very large, is the kind of ocean-going merchant ships can resist the huge waves of the sea. The ship couldn’t get close to the shore which was covered with reefs, it only showed its figure in the sea from afar, although the distance was very far, but that kind of oppressive feeling without any reason still made Fan Xian feel a hint of nervousness.
The sea suddenly calmed down at this time, although the wind and rain is still continuing, but the rain into the sea is silent, into the sand is silent, moistening the world is silent, the waves are no longer violent impact on the coast, just slowly together with a volatility, like this continent’s breathing.
In the middle of the white mist, a small boat came vaguely.
Fan Xian took a deep breath, then stepped on the slightly wet sandy beach and walked towards the sea to welcome the boat.
The bow of the boat stood a person, this person hands behind the back, white hair with a cloth tied behind the head, face ancient strange, eyes clear and unfathomable, a hat hat on his head, hat hat although small, but let the sky gentle but dense wind and rain can not come close to the boat.
The stern of the boat sits a person, also wearing a hat, but the hat brim did not cover his different color hair, as well as the corner of the lips of that strange and horrible smile.
Ye Liuyun had come, and he had finally come to see him off when the Four Gu Swords were on the verge of death.
Fan Xian’s heart was slightly shocked, then he looked at the man sitting at the stern of the boat and smiled gently. Mr. Fei Jie had also come, and being able to see someone close to his heart at a time when he was on the verge of heartbreak actually dulled the shock that Ye Liuyun’s steep appearance had brought.
The boat approached the seashore, Ye Liuyun stood quietly at the bow of the boat, his gaze traveling through the green hills along the seashore, casting it into the distance, and probably in the distance in that direction, the Four Gu Swords were on the hill, looking miserably and indifferently at the seashore.
Fan Xian stood in the midst of the storm, wiping the rainwater from his face, looking at Ye Liuyun who was silent and didn’t say a word, his thin lips slightly opened, but he didn’t say a word after all.
The sound of water grew louder, and Fei Jie jumped down from the stern of the boat, walking towards the shore in the shallow waters. Fan Xian hurried forward and helped his teacher onto the shore. The teacher and disciple looked at each other, their eyes each mildly pleased.
Fan Xian did not say anything about the problems in Kyoto, the problems in the ten villages, the problems of Chen Pingping, because he knew that it was the wish of Teacher Fei Jie’s life to travel far and wide across the ocean, this great master of poisoning was fond of freedom, and back then, if it was not because of himself, I was afraid that he would have long since left this continent of the Kingdom of Qing, and since Chen Pingping had cheated him out of the world, Fan Xian naturally had to continue to cheat him out of the world as well.
“We’ve been strolling around the islands in the Southern Ocean for the past two years.” Fei Jie looked at his most pleased disciple and said with a smile, “Originally, we decided to set sail this year and traveled far away to wander over to the Western Ocean.”
“The Western Ocean is far away.” Fan Xian glanced at Ye Liuyun who was standing woodenly at the bow of the ship, ignored the great master, held his teacher’s hand and walked a little farther, and said worriedly, “With your temperament, I’m afraid that you’ll have to go deeper into the Western Ocean continent, and how many years will it take for this round trip?”
Fei Jie looked at him with a smile and said, “Given the age of Master Ye and I, I’m only afraid that we won’t be able to return from this trip.”
Fan Xian’s throat felt like it was blocked by something, originally he thought that he would never see Mr. Ye again in this life, but he didn’t expect that today he would see one side, but it would be goodbye forever. After a period of darkness, he pointed to the sea with a smile and said, “With such a big ship, even the world can go.”
Feijie looked back, looked at the water mist after the shadow of the huge ship, ga voice laugh: “bought a lot of foreign servants, but also some foreign girls, born and we are very different from these women, you have to see, must like.”
“I’ve spent some time with Masoso.” Fan Xian smiled and responded, “Why are you here today?”
Mr. Fei Jie had wanted to talk about this earlier, and he looked back at Ye Liuyun, who was standing at the head of the small boat and had not landed, and said after a moment of silence, “He seems to have sensed something, and knows that the Four Guards Sword is going to die, so he wanted to come and give him a ride.”
“Well ……,” Fan Xian slightly lowered his head, glanced at Ye Liuyun who was like a statue in the rain at the bow of the boat with his afterglow, and said with a soft smile with a complex emotion, “Wasn’t the Four Gu Swords killed by him and His Majesty? ”
Fei Jie shook his head and said nothing. Fan Xian also stopped the topic and looked at Ye Liuyun’s stance, also shaking his head along with the gentleman.
Ye Liuyun stood silently at the front bow of the small boat, silently looking in the direction of Dongyi City, at this time, the hat on top of his head seemed to have lost its effect, letting the wind and rain strike his body before sliding down into the boat, a wetness.
After a long time, this great master suddenly bowed his head and contemplated for a moment, then beckoned to Fan Xian.
Fan Xian was slightly startled, but his expression didn’t change a bit as he calmly walked over and stood in the middle of the knee-high seawater, looking at the small boat less than five paces apart and respectfully asking for permission.
“I’m leaving.” Ye Liuyun looked at Fan Xian gently and said, “I may never come back. Do you have anything to ask me?”
Of the four great masters of the world, Fan Xian had never seen Bitter Lotus, and only knew of this Northern Qi State Master’s power from Haitang, from the Northern Qi’s arrangement afterward, and from Sean’s recollections. As for the Four Gu Swords, he had personally experienced the other party’s astonishing sword intent and clearly knew the other party’s battle power. As for His Majesty the Emperor, Fan Xian knew the incomparable power of the other party from the bottom of his bones.
Only Ye Liuyun, Fan Xian had seen the other party when he was a teenager, and he had also seen the other party in Jiangnan, and the astonishing beauty of that sword pouring over people’s buildings had made him have a complete understanding of the realm of the great masters for the first time.
Moreover, Ye Liuyun was essentially different from the other three great masters, he was like an idle cloud, drifting on the continent for the rest of his life, temporarily residing and then leaving, like a point of light without a thread holding it, dashingly incomparable.
Because of this, Fan Xian used to appreciate and admire Ye Liuyun the most, however, first was the Junshan Association, and then was the Great Eastern Mountain, Fan Xian finally realized that there could never be a person who did not eat the fire of the earth in this world.
If there was, it could only be Uncle Wuzhu, not this great master on top of the boat.
Fan Xian knew why Ye Liuyun was opening his mouth at this moment, and after a moment of silence, he didn’t ask for any martial arts questions, but instead asked directly, “Why have you come?”
Ye Liuyun in the rain tilted his face slightly, his entire gucci face appearing from under his hat, as if he had not expected Fan Xian to ask such a question that surprised him in such a precious opportunity.
After just a moment of silence, Ye Liuyun said, “I came for the farewell.”
“Why are you leaving?” Fan Xian asked again.
“Because I like it.” Ye Liuyun smiled and answered.
“Then why did you strike in the first place.” Fan Xian finally asked.
“Because …… I’m a celebrity.” Ye Liuyun replied seriously.
Fan Xian pondered this question for a long time, Qing people, he himself was a Qing person, in this world, belonging would really determine the motivation for all behavior, even Grand Masters were no exception.
Fan Xian took a deep breath and said with a smile, “There are no more questions, just curious, will you return in the future?”
“Who can know about the future?”
Fan Xian shook his head and didn’t say anything else. With Ye Liuyun and Mr. Fei Jie’s realm, even though it was the distant and mysterious Western Continent, I was only afraid that there was nothing that could keep them and harm them.
While Fan Xian had no questions to ask, Ye Liuyun seemed to have something more to say as he looked at Fan Xian and said with a gentle smile, “Since the Great Wei, the world has been in turmoil, with conquests and wars, and the people have been displaced and suffering. I helped your father to remove the last obstacle, and it is you young people who will do the work in the future.”
Yes, Ye Liuyun, with the respect of a Patriarch, had held back for twenty years, secretly cooperating with His Majesty the Emperor’s plan, sweeping away all the hidden dangers within the Kingdom of Qing in one fell swoop, and removing the two biggest obstacles to the unification of the world.
Bitter Lotus as well as the Four Gu Swords.
There was no point in Ye Liuyun staying on this continent any longer, which was why he had come to take one more look before leaving, and then said these words to Fan Xian.
In this Grand Master’s opinion, Fan Xian was undoubtedly the most outstanding and powerful person among the younger generation in the future, not just in terms of martial cultivation, but also in terms of his resourcefulness and ability as well as the attention that he bet on ordinary people on a regular basis, which was why Ye Liuyun had sent his words to him.
However, Ye Liuyun did not know Fan Xian’s heart, and it was an impossible task for a Grand Master to see through someone’s heart.
After saying these words, Ye Liuyun stopped talking to Fan Xian and just remained standing at the bow of the boat, looking at the mountain over there, and the person who was about to die on that distant mountain, perhaps a friend.
Fan Xian bowed his head in silence for a moment, then walked back to the shore and spoke in a low voice with Mr. Fei Jie. It was almost time to say goodbye, and he and his teacher had a lot to talk about, even if it was just some stale childhood memories. The opportunities to reminisce again were few and far between.
Fan Xian took out the pamphlet that Bitter Lotus had left for him from his bosom and handed it to Mr. Fei Jie, saying, “The things that Bitter Lotus has left behind should have something to do with spells, so if you find someone to ask over in the Western Ocean, and read the sounds out directly, you should be able for those people to be able to understand it, probably something related to Italy, Rome, or something.”
Seeing his solemnity, coupled with the fact that he said it was a relic left behind by Bitter Lotus, Mr. Fei Jie frowned and took it, placing it in his arms and said in a sandy voice, “Don’t worry, no one can snatch this from my hands.”
Fan Xian, with his sharp eyes, had long since seen what Mr. Fei had done with the pamphlet, and laughed, “If those thieves aren’t afraid of death.”
“Since it’s something Bitter Lotus left for you, I think it must be of some use, why don’t you keep it for yourself?”
“I memorized it last night.” Fan Xian pointed to his head, smiling as he reminded his teacher of the strange memory he had possessed since he was a young child.
Fei Jie laughed, remembering every day and every night when he taught this little monster in Tanyou many years ago.
The wind and rain on the shores of the East Sea gradually subsided, and Fan Xian and Fei Jie sensed something at the same time, so they stopped gossiping and turned back to look at the boat that was gently undulating with the waves on the shores of the sea, and looked at Ye Liuyun at the head of the boat.
Ye Liuyun’s smile on his face is getting gentler and gentler, getting more and more relieved, as if he has seen through something in general, with a great sense of relief.
A wave hit, the boat slightly shook, Ye Liuyun used the momentum to lower himself, toward the direction of Dongyi City, a certain hill, a certain hut deeply bowed.
Fan Xian’s heart sank, knowing that the man had gone.
Fei Jie watched the scene in silence and said, “I’m leaving.”
The long legged mosquito in the grass hut, finally couldn’t endure the torture of time, seeing that the weather was going to be hot, it was the most joyful time of life, but it couldn’t stand in the corner any longer, staring despairingly at the thick quilt, as well as the empty space in the quilt, decadently falling down from the wall, falling to the ground, and being blown by the wind that leaked in through the cracks of the door, it didn’t know where it went.
On the hill behind the grass hut, the thin figure had lain down in the arms of the disciples, no longer breathing.
The boat on the beach slowly left, heading towards the large ship in the water mist. Fan Xian stood on the beach and bowed deeply, thinking to bid farewell.
Until the end, Ye Liuyun still didn’t abandon the boat and board the shore, perhaps this great master had given himself a boundary in his heart, he didn’t want to board this land full of killing and helplessness again in his life, because he didn’t know if he would be willing to leave again once he boarded this land.
This was the freedom and determination to leave and abandon.
Fan Xian looked at the boat gradually disappeared in the wind and rain, thought in his heart, this is the so-called boat from now on, the river and sea send the rest of his life, just some people can go, there are more people can not go, when can he go to the free river and sea?
