A black shadow flashed, and Ah-Dai landed next to Xiaohuan. He touched the girl's head with both hands and handed it to Xiaohuan, and said stupidly: "Look, is the girl alive again? It must be." , she will never, ever die."
Xiaohuan was taken aback, and looked at the gray ashes in Ah-Dai's hands, that lifelike face was that of a girl! Xiaohuan didn't understand what Ah-Dai was going to do just now, and cried out "Miss—" tears flowed down uncontrollably again, and she and Ah-Dai stood there so quietly, with four eyes fixed on the The lifelike head portraits and the sad atmosphere surrounding them constantly rose, and the forest seemed to feel the pain in their hearts, trembling under the breeze.
After a long time, Dumb sighed, and took the girl's head back into his arms with great care, and said lightly: "Don't cry, Xiaohuan, let's go."
Xiaohuan choked up and nodded, and murmured: "Dumb, brother Dumb, where are we going now?"
Dumb said: "Let me take you to a peaceful place. There, you should be able to live a peaceful life. That should be what the girl wants." After speaking, he picked up Xiaohuan's delicate body, flew up, and discerned After checking the direction, he flew towards the southwest. His destination was the peaceful village where Harry lived. The Mica Province is not far from Hake Village, where Harry, the Western Sword Master, is located. After a day of flying, Dumb crossed the dividing line between the Tianjin Empire and the Suoyu Federation with Xiaohuan, and it took another day to cross the border. Tiangang Mountain came to the Guangming Province of the Huasheng Empire.
Two days have passed, the sadness in Xiaohuan's heart has decreased a lot, and she has gradually become accustomed to the feeling of being carried by Dumb. Whenever she thinks of the girl, she will ask Dumb for the girl's head portrait, recalling the past The scene with the girl.
Under the protection of Ah-Dai's fighting spirit, the oncoming cold wind could no longer invade Xiaohuan's body. Looking at the scenery that was flying by under his feet in a daze, Xiaohuan murmured: "Brother Dumb, why can you fly?"
Dumb glanced at Xiaohuan. After two days of traveling, the stagnant meridians in his body have been cleared up, which will not affect his speed for the time being. At this time, he is indeed not in the mood to completely adjust his breath. Huan replied indifferently to the question: "This is a form of martial arts."
Xiaohuan didn't know anything about martial arts, so he changed the subject and said, "Where are you taking me? Will I follow you from now on?"
Duan shook his head and said: "I am an ominous person, you may be in danger if you follow me, I will arrange you in a peaceful place, where you will not be harmed, it is also my respect to the girl Let me explain."
Xiaohuan looked at Dumb's very ordinary appearance, and said in a low voice: "It would be great if Miss is still here, Xiaohuan is willing to serve you for the rest of your life." After two days of getting along, Xiaohuan found that although this big brother Dumb had a cold face, , but he is a very affectionate and sexual person, and his feelings for Tiffya seem to be very deep. Tiffya's death has dealt a great blow to him.
Dumb's body trembled slightly, and he said in a low voice: "The girl is here, and she will always be there. In my heart, she is still that kind and weak girl, and I will always keep her by my side."
The Light and Dark River is already in sight, and the small village of Hake is still so peaceful, and the farmers are constantly busy. Duan took Xiaohuan and landed on a small soil slope not far from Hake Village, and said indifferently: "Xiaohuan, Would you like to live a peaceful life in that small village? There, no one will bully you, no one will look down on you, and there are only simple villagers."
Xiaohuan looked at the small village surrounded by fields in front of her, with a hint of hope in her eyes, she nodded, and said, "I am willing, the lady said when she was alive, if there is a peaceful place for her to live in peace She is satisfied. Xiaohuan also thinks the same way, a peaceful life is what I want most, but will the people here accept me?" Dumb glanced at Xiaohuan, sighed, and said, "Girl Like me, if she is still alive, we can live a peaceful life here. Let's go, let's go. There is a senior I know there, and he will take care of you."
Duan walked slowly towards Hake Village with Xiaohuan. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, he saw Harry's eldest son at a glance. He was helping several villagers move things. Under the sunlight, a few drops of sweat appeared on his simple face, but Duan could tell that although he was a little tired physically, he was very happy mentally.
"Hassan." Dumb called out the name of Harry's eldest son calmly.
Hearing Dumb's call, Hassan was obviously taken aback. He looked up in Dumb's direction, froze for a moment, immediately recognized Dumb's identity, and said in surprise: "Ah! You, aren't you Dumb? Come and see us What? That's great, Dad will be very happy to know you're here."
Duan looked at Hassan's simple and honest smile, and couldn't help feeling warm in his heart. He waved to Xiaohuan and said, "Come on, Xiaohuan, let me introduce you."
Xiaohuan shyly walked up to Ah-Dai, lowering her head and not daring to meet Hassan's scorching eyes. Although Xiaohuan wasn't very beautiful, she was pretty at the same time. Hassan, who had never seen the world much, felt a little embarrassed Got up, and murmured to Dumb: "Brother Dumb, this doesn't seem to be the cold girl from last time."
Dumb nodded, and said: "Her name is Xiaohuan, and she is the sister of a friend of mine. Her fate is very miserable. I want to entrust your father to take care of her."
Hassan scratched his head and said, "Take care of her? It should be ok. Dad and Mom are very hospitable. Let's go, I'll take you to see your father. He doesn't know why he loves to sleep all the time and shuts himself up all day long." I can’t come out of the house. My mother often scolds him for being lazy, but my father has worked hard all his life, and now he is not too young, so it’s time for him to take a rest. Our brothers are enough for the farm work.”
Dumb's heart moved, he understood that Harry must be preparing for the Four Great Juggernauts three months later, with a faint smile on his face, he said: "Hassan, you are such a dutiful son!"
Hassan brought Dumb and Xiaohuan to his home, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Dad, Dumb is here, Brother Dumb is here."
Duan was startled, and hurriedly grabbed Hassan and said, "Don't bark, don't disturb Uncle Harry's rest." A warrior needs to be quiet when meditating, otherwise he will easily go mad, and he is afraid that Hassan will disturb Harry's cultivation.
"It's okay." Harry's voice came from the room, and the leader walked out of the room with a smile on his face.
Seeing Harry again, Dumb felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy in his heart, stepped forward a few steps, and said respectfully: "Uncle Harry."
Harry looked Dumb up and down, with a look of worry in his eyes, and said: "Dai, why do you have time to come, go, go into the room and talk. Hassan, go to work, and borrow some at your Uncle Reed's house tonight." Here comes the wine, I will treat you dumb brother."
"Oh, I see." Hassan agreed, glanced at Xiaohuan again, turned his head and left.
Dumb and Xiaohuan came to Harry's room, Dumb said: "Uncle Harry, I have something to ask you when I come back. This girl is the sister of a friend of mine, and that friend died unfortunately. I want to let She lives a quiet life with you, she's just an ordinary girl, she won't give you any trouble."
Harry looked Xiaohuan up and down, and said with a smile, "I still have room here, so let her stay here."
Xiaohuan saluted Harry, and said obediently: "Thank you uncle, Xiaohuan can do all kinds of housework, and you can also teach me how to do farm work. I won't live here for nothing."
Hahaha laughed, and said, "Well, what a good little girl! It seems that Dumb is really not looking for trouble for me. Let's go, I will find you a room." After finishing speaking, he and Dumb came with Xiaohuan Go to the room where Miefeng lived last time, "My place is a little rough, let's make do with it. If you need anything, just tell me. My mother-in-law may not be able to come back at night. She has been looking forward to having a daughter. This time it will be fine." She will definitely like you very much if she fulfills her wish. You can rest assured to live with me."
From Harry, Xiaohuan felt the warmth of home, her eyes turned red, and she choked up and said, "Thank you uncle, Xiaohuan will be very good."
Harry nodded and said, "You and Dumb have had a hard time traveling, let's rest first. Dumb, come with me, I have something to say to you."
Dumb was taken aback, nodded, and said to Xiaohuan: "Then you should rest first." After speaking, he went back to his room with Harry.
After closing the door, Harry had a solemn expression on his face, and suddenly slapped Dumb's chest with his palm. Dumb was slightly startled, but he didn't dodge, because he knew that Harry would not harm him.
Harry's skinny palms pressed against Ah-Dai's chest with a cyan light, holding back his inner strength without vomit. Ah-Dai clearly felt a warm energy flowing in from his chest, quickly circled around his meridians and returned to Harry's body. Harry frowned, and said with some reproach: "What's wrong with you? Why are the meridians in your body so chaotic? Did you meet a master. It's rare to see a master who can injure you!"
Duan shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Uncle, I'm fine. The injury in my body is probably caused by myself. I'm not in a good mood recently. Xiaohuan's sister is very important to me, but she died, alas, Why do all the friends who were with me pass away one by one? Could it be that I am really an ominous person?"
Harry looked at Ah-Dai, and said, "Let's not talk about that for now. You must quickly straighten out the true qi in the meridians in your body, otherwise you may be in danger of going crazy. Come." After speaking, he pulled Ah-Dai and floated onto the bed. Now Duan actually didn't have the intention of cultivating, but he didn't want to disobey Harry's good intentions, so he had to sit cross-legged across from him.
Harry stretched out his palms, and said, "Face me, and I'll help you." Feeling Harry's concern for him, Dumb's heart warmed up, and he raised his palms to meet Harry's. Harry said in a deep voice: "Embracing the yuan and returning to one, keeping the dantian, and eliminating distracting thoughts." Two warm and surging air flows from Harry's palm into Ah-Dai's body, and under the action of the surging and scorching energy, the meridians of Ah-Dai's whole body gradually became active . He took a deep breath, sank his thoughts into his dantian, and cooperated with Harry's true energy to dredge the meridians in his body.
Harry’s Qinglian Dou Qi belongs to the neutral Dou Qi, characterized by Zhongzheng’s peacefulness and grandeur, and is very suitable as a guide to generate true Qi. Duan’s own skill has surpassed Harry’s. With his help, he can control the stagnated meridians of the golden body in his body And the disordered internal breath gradually straightened out, and after a while, he entered the state of meditation. The blue and white rays of light enveloped the bodies of Ah-Dai and Harry. Under the joint action of the two major sword masters in the world, those stagnant meridians were quickly dredged, and the true energy in Ah-Dai's body gradually returned to normal operation. trajectory.
Two hours later, the two slowly closed their efforts and opened their eyes almost at the same time.
There was a look of surprise in Harry's eyes, and he said in doubt: "Boy, how did you practice your kung fu? How come it's only been less than a year, and you're already so much stronger than last time."
Listening to Harry's words, Ah-Dai couldn't help recalling the ardent expectations he had for himself when the Tiangang Sword Master taught him his skills, sighed lightly, and said, "I'm sorry uncle, this is the secret of our Tiangang Sword Sect, I can't tell you. Maybe, when the Four Great Juggernauts compete, you can get the answer."
Harry smiled wryly and said, "I don't want to go now. Even the disciple of the old guy Sword Master Tiangang is better than me. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for me to go? Son, the stagnant meridians in your body seem to be related to your own emotions. These days, you must have been hit hard. Is it because of avenging your uncle? What happened to the Killer Guild?"
Dumb's eyes darkened, and he said, "Not only for revenge, but also for other things." Immediately, he told Harry everything that happened after he left the small village, all the way to how the girl died and what happened to himself. The matter of killing the Governor of Mica Province, his wife and Tiro was said again. Among them, he only concealed the part where he and Yueyue had a misunderstanding.
After listening to Ah-Dai's narration, Harry, the Sword Master of the West, fell silent. Feeling the strong sadness in Ah-Dai's heart, he couldn't help feeling an inexplicable emotion towards the dull young man in front of him. He sighed and said, "Son, I didn't expect your The encounter is so rough, I am old, if the same thing happened to me, I am afraid that I would have collapsed. It can be seen that your mind is not far from the edge of collapse, you must persevere and survive this A trough in your soul, at that time, your future will be limitless. If you need any help, you can just ask, and I will try my best to help you. Ah! By the way, you killed the registered disciple of the Northern Sword Master, That old guy, Hutu, is famous for protecting his weaknesses. I'm afraid he won't let you go. You have to be more careful. The old guy's Fire Nightmare True Qi is very powerful. It's a very domineering fighting spirit. It's stronger than fire magic. It would have taken a lot of work for Diss to deal with him back then."
Duan snorted coldly, and said slightly angrily: "He has no way to teach disciples, so he still wants to trouble me? I'm not afraid of him."
Harry smiled slightly, and said: "With your current skill, you can indeed compete with Hutu, but it is better to be careful, after all, it is not a good thing to offend a sword master! However, that named disciple of Hutu actually abused you My friend really deserves to die. After I see Hutu, I will help you talk about Xiang. He should give me some face. In addition to Diss, Hutu has nothing to do with you. By the way, what you said last time What happened to the dark forces? Who will win between the Holy See and them?"
Duan sighed, and said: "There is no victory or defeat yet, the Holy See has been spreading its hands to find the whereabouts of the dark forces, but until now there is no clue at all, and it is completely passive."
Harry nodded, and said: "If the dark forces are too rampant, I will definitely not stand by. After all, if human beings want to survive on this continent, they must completely eradicate the dark forces. Dumb, are you going to help the Holy See? "
Duan was stunned, and when he mentioned the Holy See, he couldn't help thinking of Xuanyue. Because of the girl's death, he almost forgot his guilt towards Xuanyue these two days. When he suddenly thought of it, his whole body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and said sadly: " There are so many experts in the Holy See, so I don’t need my help.”
Harry said: "That's not what I said. Although there are many masters in the Holy See, I don't think anyone other than the Pope can reach your current level. Children, don't belittle yourself. When the mainland is in danger, you You should make some contributions to mankind. Don’t forget your Tiangang Sword Sect’s purpose of maintaining justice, and Diss will definitely lead your whole faction to help the Holy See fight against the dark forces.”
After hearing Harry's words, Dumb's mind cleared up, yes! How can I disregard my son and daughter's selfishness to justice? If the dark forces completely invade the mainland, what a disaster it will bring! That is definitely not what I want to see, let alone what my master wants to see. Even Harry is willing to give up his peaceful life to contribute to the mainland. How can he escape from the great trust of his master? Nodding firmly, Duan said: "Don't worry, I will never back down if something happens."
Harry nodded in relief, and said: "When the mainland calms down, if we are still alive, you can come and live with me. We can compete in martial arts every day. Since I fought with you that day, my hands are very itchy ah!"
Dumb smiled slightly, and said, "You are always welcome. If you want, we can have a fight right now."
Harry shook his head and said, "Now? Forget it, your body hasn't recovered yet, and I don't want Diss to say that I bullied his disciples. Besides, I have recently researched a few tricks, and I have to wait until four Diss was invited to taste during the Great Sword Master Competition, but now we have to keep it a secret. Well, it’s getting late, let’s go out. My wife will be back soon.”
The dinner was very sumptuous, and they ate all the things that Harry and the others could only eat during the holidays. Harry's wife was still so hospitable, especially after knowing that Xiaohuan would stay and live with them, she was very excited and insisted on recognizing Xiaohuan. Being a daughter is not enough, Xiaohuan, who has been in sadness all the time, has a smile on her delicate face and a little more rosy under the enthusiasm of the Harry family. Seeing that Xiaohuan has gradually integrated into the Harry family, Dumb felt relieved.
In the middle of the night, everyone else had already fallen asleep, and Dumb and Harry stood in the yard. Looking at the starry sky, Harry asked, "Dumb, where are you going now?"
Dumb was taken aback, shook his head, and said, "I don't know, the world is so big, but there seems to be no room for me."
Harry smiled slightly and said: "How can you say that? At least the Tiangang Sword Sect is your home! If you don't want to go back, you can stay with me until the competition between the Four Great Sword Masters, we will be together Go to the Tiangang Sword Sect."
Duan said sadly: "No, I don't want my sadness to affect you. The me now is not suitable for the peaceful life in Hake Village."
Harry said indifferently: "My child, only you can resolve the sadness in your heart. The dead are gone, and the living must continue to live. In fact, you have to think clearly, the dead actually just went to another world. Their souls will never disappear. Just like your friend named girl, she has suffered all kinds of difficulties in this world, but when her soul goes to another world, maybe she can live a happy life, Those are not things you need to worry about. There is God’s will in the dark. Let me tell you a little story. Once upon a time, there was a rich man who was very stingy. He was stingy not only to others, but also to himself. He squeezed out every copper coin, and finally, when he lived to be seventy years old, he became the richest man in the world. However, by then his body had already completely decayed due to chronic lack of nutrition, He used all his money to build a huge underground tomb for himself, and waited to die in it, thinking that he was the happiest at this time. However, when his mind was hazy, all the things he had done before kept flashing in his mind However, he suddenly understood everything. Wealth is not brought with you when you live or die. You can’t enjoy the money you saved at all. However, it was too late for him to wake up, and he died in regret. , and the luxurious tomb he accumulated with all his wealth finally became a paradise for grave robbers."
After hearing Harry's story, Dumb's heart moved. He seemed to understand something, but he couldn't explain clearly, so he murmured, "Uncle Harry, what do you mean?"
Harry didn't answer him, his voice was still flat, "A young man, he has been mischievous since he was a child, and his parents have broken his heart. He is the youngest child in the family. When he was eighteen years old, his parents were over sixty One day, a plague broke out suddenly in the village where he lived, and the plague took the lives of his elderly parents. When the parents died, the young man realized how important they were to him, and kept crying beside them, Promised everything, but no matter what he did, it was useless. His parents were dead, and the fact could not be changed. At this moment, a very old man came to him and asked him , "Is it useful for you to tell them now?" The young man replied: "I hope the souls of my parents can rest in heaven." The old man said dismissively: "Their souls can't hear your words at all. You didn’t cherish it at the time, so what’s the use of saying it now? It’s all just a waste of words.” The young man was confused, he didn’t know what to do, looked at the old man and asked, “Then what should I do now?” The old man just said After listening to these six words, the young man understood everything. Since then, he has become a useful person in the village. No matter who is in trouble, he will help everyone. He is so kind to everyone. Okay. Five years later, the old man reappeared, told the young man that he had passed the test, took him out of the small village, and went to a big mountain to teach him all his peerless martial arts." Turning to look at Dumb With tears in Harry's eyes, he sighed, "This young man is me. And that old man is my mentor. It was my mentor who woke me up when I was most sad, and made me what I am today."
After hearing Harry's story, Dui trembled slightly, and asked in a murmur, "Uncle, what were the six words your master told you at that time?"
Harry took a deep breath, looked up at the starry sky, and said, "Go, let's go, I hope I can wake you up like the teacher woke me up. The six words the teacher said to me at that time were, cherish the living." Said After finishing, the green glow flashed, and Harry's figure disappeared.
Standing in the yard, Dumb was filled with various complex emotions, muttering: "Cherish the living, cherish the living." Although he still couldn't fully understand the meaning of this sentence, in Harry With the relief, it seems that the heart is not so sad. Looking back at Harry's room, his voice was in a thread, "Thank you, Uncle Harry, Xiaohuan will take care of you." After saying these words, Ah-Dai summoned up his vital qi, which had basically recovered, and floated up, Flying in one direction.
Sensing the disappearance of Duan, Harry reappeared in the yard, with a faint smile on his old face, "Son, I believe, you will understand."
The sound of the wind in his ears kept stirring, and Ah-Dai kept chanting the six words that Harry told him. Wrapped in white light, his body passed away like a meteor. Duan didn't deliberately pursue speed. The two stories of Harry, the Western sword master, kept echoing in his mind. After an unknown amount of time, the scene in front of him suddenly changed, and he stopped involuntarily.
In front of him is a huge city, the city wall is more than 30 meters high, and it is completely repaired from huge stones. In front of the city, there is a moat about 20 meters wide, and the suspension bridge connecting the two banks is closed. In the dark night, It looked so peaceful, above the wide city gate in the middle of the city wall, hung a stone plaque high up, on which were three large characters written in the holy scriptures of the Holy See - Guangming City.
Bright City? Did I actually arrive at Guangming City? Hake Village is not far from Guangming City, and Duan has arrived at the capital of Guangming Province before he knows it. Looking at this familiar city wall, Duan couldn't help thinking of Cary, the president of the Mainland Magician's Union, Aldos, the owner of Bright City, and everything he experienced here. It was in this city that I subdued the bone dragon. Now that I think about it, those who came to attack the Magician's Guild in the past should belong to the dark forces. Now that we're here, let's go into town and have a look.
Duan urged Shengsheng Zhenqi to fly high, and flew into the city like entering the mica city. Although it is very quiet outside the city, after all, it was just after nightfall, and the streets of Guangming City are still very lively. Now Dui just wants to find a quiet place and think about what Harry said, so he found a hotel to stay and told The hotel waiter entered the room without disturbing himself.
The room in the hotel was very tidy. Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Ah-Dai took out Bing and the girl’s head and put them in front of him. He looked at Bing and then at the girl, and murmured: “Can you tell me what should I do now? Bing, girl, are your souls in another world as happy as Uncle Harry said? It must be, you have suffered so much on the mainland, no matter how cruel the gods are, they will not have the heart to make you suffer Go on, I have already avenged your revenge, and your souls can survive in that world steadily." In a touch of sadness, Duan closed his eyes and entered the state of meditation. He wanted to use his skills as soon as possible. Adjust to the best condition. Because he knows that only when he maintains the best state, is his mind the most clear, then, maybe he can figure everything out.
The golden body lit up under the urging of Ah-Dai. Ever since he entered the seventh stage of life-changing transformation with Xi Wen and the others, Ah-Dai has not practiced well. At this time, I deliberately activated the Shengsheng Zhenqi in my body, and suddenly felt that my body was so empty, and the original liquid Shengsheng Zhenqi was more concentrated, leaving more space in my body. Overjoyed in his heart, Duan knew that this situation proved that his skill could be improved again. As long as he replenished the liquid zhenqi in his body, he could reach the realm of the original master Tiangang Sword Master. While thinking about it, Dumb began to urge the wave-like zhenqi to run. Since Shengsheng Zhen Qi has become extremely concentrated, it is surprisingly slow to replenish, and the concentrated Zhen Qi can only increase by a very small amount in each cycle. But Duan was not in a hurry. What he wanted most at this time was to find a spiritual sustenance and practice, which happened to fulfill his wish.
