Chapter two hundred and eighty fifth gathering
After listening to Yinggu's narration, Ling Muyun already knew what was going on, but Huang Rong sighed and sighed: "It's hard to understand when the world is grudges and grudges. My father cleared the old naughty boy Zhou Bo on Peach Blossom Island for fifteen years, but he couldn't save my mother's life." Yinggu heard her mention the three words "Zhou Botong", and immediately shook his body and asked hurriedly: "What's the relationship between your mother and Zhou Botong?" When Huang Rong heard her tone, she knew that she suspected that Zhou Botong had any love entanglement with her mother, which caused her father to be locked on Peach Blossom Island. It seems that
Although more than ten years later, she has not forgotten the old naughty boy, otherwise how could she have eaten this jealousy out of thin air? She lowered her head and said sadly: "My mother was exhausted to the old naughty boy." Yinggu even more suspected that Huang Rong's skin was better than snow and her eyebrows were picturesque. When her face was the most beautiful, she was far less beautiful than her. If her mother was similar to her, it would be impossible for Zhou Botong to be unmoved when she saw it, and she couldn't help but frown and ponder. Huang Rong said: "Don't think about it randomly. My mother is a celestial figure. Zhou Botong is as naughty as a cow. How could my mother favor him?"
Although Huang Rong's words were not without sarcastic feelings towards her, and she herself had a little bit of belittled, the doubts in her heart were broken. Ying Gu was not only not angry, but was very relieved and sighed: "Little girl, you are too young. You know little about love between men and women, so you don't understand the taste of it..."
When Huang Rong heard Yinggu say that she didn't understand the love between men and women, she felt a little unhappy. She wanted to refute it when she moved her little mouth. However, thinking of Yinggu's pitiful experience, she couldn't bear to stimulate her again at this time, so she moved her mouth but still couldn't say it.
At this time, Yinggu continued to ask: "Miss Huang, why did your mother kill the old naughty boy? Why did your father lock him up on Taohua Island for so many years?"
Although Yinggu found out from the Black Wind Shuangsha that Zhou Botong was imprisoned by Huang Yaoshi on Peach Blossom Island, she never knew why she was imprisoned. Moreover, Yinggu was also full of resentment about Huang Yaoshi who had imprisoned her lover for more than ten years. Although Zhou Botong had been released at this time, she also wanted to know why Zhou Botong was imprisoned and what was related to Huang Rong's mother.
Huang Rong sighed, "Actually, the old naughty boy didn't intentionally kill my mother, but my mother unfortunately passed away, but it rose from him. So my father was angry and locked him up on Peach Blossom Island. But afterwards, he regretted it. Then he reconciled with Zhou Botong. There are injustice and debt. Who killed your beloved? You should go all over the world and seek revenge on this murderer. What's the use of venting anger with others?"
These few words were like a wake-up call, saying Ying Gu so hard that she could not speak. She had been resentful of Emperor Nan for years, not helping her to save her child, and she treated Duan Zhixing as a revenge for life and death. What she thought in her mind over the years was that in addition to saving Zhou Botong, she was killing Duan Zhixing to take revenge.
But at this time, Huang Rong was called to a wake-up call, and Yinggu remembered that Duan Zhixing was a little cruel and ruthless when he refused to save her child, but the one who really beat her child and killed her child was someone else. Moreover, she had an affair with someone and gave birth to a child, Duan Zhixing didn't blame her. She still let her live in the palace. Not only did she not execute her, but all the offerings were richer than before, and she was quite generous.
I just resented for so many years. The hatred for Duan Zhixing had already taken root in her heart. At this time, I realized that I hated the wrong person. For a moment, my mind was confused and I didn’t know what to do. I wanted to find the real culprit to avenge, but the crowd was vast, and she had never even seen the real culprit before. How could I find it? Where should I take revenge?
Seeing this, Ling Muyun suddenly spoke, "Sister-in-law, do you know who was the masked master who injured my nephew with his palm?"
Yinggu shook her head blankly: "I don't know."
"Is that man shorter than that of ordinary people, his light palm skills are very clever, his voice is loud but he looks a little hoarse?"
Yinggu suddenly became excited: "Do you know who that person is? Please tell me!"
"My sister-in-law hasn't answered me yet. Is it right?"
"Yes, yes, you're right." Yinggu's eyes were blurred and distant, and her thoughts fell into memories: "That day I was patting my child sleeping. A masked imperial guard suddenly jumped into the window. The guard was indeed shorter than ordinary people. She pulled the child up and slapped his back. I hurried forward to stop him, but the guard was very tall and pushed me away, and then he slapped me on the child's chest. Then he laughed and walked over the window."
"The guard has extremely high light skills. When I chased him out, he was already running away. At that time, I thought that Duan Zhixing hated me for having an affair with others, so I sent someone to kill my son. Now I didn't dare to chase him anymore, but went straight to Duan Zhixing's bedroom and begged."
"Who knew Duan Zhixing said that he didn't send someone to do it. After checking the child's injuries and the traces left by the murderer, he also said that the murderer's martial arts skills were extremely high and not weaker than him. He had to spend a lot of energy to save him. Then he ignored my begging and watched my child..."
Speaking of this, a trace of resentment appeared on Yinggu's face, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I'm sorry, my child is just three years old, and I just went there like that. Although I couldn't see the person, I will always remember the laughter he used to hit me when he hit me. It was a hint of hoarseness in the brightness that I can't forget even if I become a ghost!"
Speaking of this, Yinggu suddenly turned her eyes to Ling Muyun, her eyes full of hatred and begging: "Little brother, do you know who that person is? Please tell me, I must kill him to avenge my child!"
Ling Muyun sighed and said, "Sister-in-law, you can't be wrong after hearing what you said. The murderer who killed your child is no one else, but the leader of the Iron Palm Gang. He gave Qiu Qianren, who was nicknamed Iron Palm Gone on the Water!"
"What? Is it him?" Yinggu was shocked. She lived in seclusion in the Heizhu near Tiezhang Peak for more than ten years and was a neighbor with Qiu Qianren for more than ten years, but she never thought that the enemy who killed the child would be him!
However, after Ling Muyun reminded him, Yinggu suddenly realized that it was true that Qiu Qianren's figure was shorter than that of ordinary people, just like the figure of the murderer who killed her child back then, and his voice was also loud and hoarse. Although she had never heard Qiu Qianren's laughter, judging from the voice he usually spoke, the sound of laughing was probably almost the same as the laughter of the murderer back then.
And most importantly, the difference between Qiu Qianren's martial arts and the Five Great Masters seems to be in line with Duan Zhixing's judgment on the murderer's martial arts. Combining these points, the identity of the murderer who killed her child is undoubtedly confirmed. Who else will be there besides Qiu Qianren?
At this time, Huang Rong asked in confusion: "Brother Yun, I don't understand. Although Qiu Qianren is unbearable, he is the leader of the largest gang in Jiangnan and a master in the world. Why did he spend a lot of time running to the palace of Dali Kingdom to beat a baby? And he had to beat him to death with a palm, so why did he beat him half to death and torture a child?"
Yinggu also turned her confusing eyes to Ling Muyun when she heard this. This was also the strange thing she had met with Qiu Qianren, let alone any hatred. There was no hatred. Why did Qiu Qianren travel thousands of miles to the Dali Kingdom Palace to injure him? This was also the reason why she had lived with Qiu Qianren for more than ten years before but never doubted him.
"He actually went for Emperor Nan. He was the first time in Huashan Sword Competition, and Wu Jue and others invited him to go, but he thought at that time that his martial arts skills had not yet been achieved, so he was definitely not a match for Wang Chongyang. He didn't go there. But it was not that he didn't care about the Nine Yin Scriptures and the title of No. 1 in the world."
Ling Muyun sneered and explained in detail to the two women: "Why did he live in seclusion in the Iron Palm Peak after a Huashan Sword Contest? It was not to cultivate oneself, but to practice martial arts hard behind closed doors, and to overwhelm others in the second Huashan Sword Contest and win the title of No. 1 in the world of martial arts."
"And in order to successfully win the title of No. 1 in the world, in addition to practicing hard by himself, he also had bad ideas to weaken other opponents. The reason why he sneaked into the Dali Palace to hurt his sister-in-law's child, but he was injured but not dead was to force the Southern Emperor to spend his own energy and save him, which greatly damaged the Southern Emperor's energy. By the second time of the Huashan Sword Contest, he lost one strong enemy."
Huang Rong said hatefully: "This Qiu Qianren is really hateful!"
Yinggu was so angry that her eyes seemed to be about to spit out fire. She suddenly knelt on the ground with a "thump" and bowed to Ling Muyun and Huang Rong.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing? Get up quickly!"
Ling Muyun and Huang Rong were shocked. Ling Muyun hurriedly reached out to support Ying Gu with her strong skills: "Sister-in-law, wouldn't you kill me if you do this?"
Yinggu felt the irresistible force coming from Ling Muyun's arm, so she had to stand up and said weepingly: "My Yinggu has been ignorant for so many years, and she didn't know who the murderer was who killed my child. If it weren't for the guidance of my little brother, I would have been afraid that I wouldn't know who the enemy was until I died. I have lived near the Iron Palm Gang for many years, but I didn't know that the enemy was right by my side. It was really sad and ridiculous."
"It's just that the iron palm floating on the water Qiu Qianren is too skilled. I am far from his opponent. It's really hard to take revenge. So I beg you two to help me and Botong to reunite. Only in this way can we join forces to get this great revenge. Otherwise, I will be alone and it will be difficult to deal with Qiu Qianren. I'm not afraid of death. I'm afraid that I will go underground and have no shame to see my unjustly death..."
Huang Rong said: "Yinggu, don't be sad, don't bother to take revenge. Qiu Qianren has been killed by my brother Yun!"
"What? Qiu Qianren is dead?"
Yinggu was shocked and looked at Ling Muyun in disbelief. She and Qiu Qianren had been neighbors for more than ten years and knew very well about Qiu Qianren's power. In her opinion, even if she reconciled with Zhou Botong, the two of them might not be able to kill Qiu Qianren. Unexpectedly, Qiu Qianren died at the hands of a young man like Ling Muyun.
"Yes, a few months ago, we went to Lin'an City with Brother Zhou and the nine-fingered god beggar Hong Qigong and senior Hong. We happened to meet Qiu Qianren and the others. We had a big battle. Qiu Qianren escaped seriously and was caught up by me and killed. He had gone to the Dali Kingdom Palace to assassinate his nephew, which he said himself before he died." Ling Muyun nodded and said.
In fact, Ling Muyun learned from later memories that it was not what Qiu Qianren said at all. Qiu Qianren's mind was not broken. How could he confess his past crimes when fighting the enemy to the death? However, although Ling Muyun's words were not true, he was the only one who was present when Qiu Qianren died, so he would naturally say whatever he said.
Yinggu couldn't help but be stunned. It was not that she didn't believe Ling Muyun's words, but the news from Ling Muyun's mouth stimulated her too much. She had been confused for more than ten years before she knew who the murderer was. But before she could take revenge, she learned that the enemy was dead, which made her not know what to do for a moment, and she didn't know what it felt like in her heart.
"Yinggu, your child's revenge has been avenged, you should be happy." Huang Rong smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, even if Qiu Qianren is dead, we will still help you get along and let you and Zhou Botong reconcile."
"Then I'm thankful for you two!" Yinggu bowed deeply.
Yinggu and Ling and Huang were walking together, and Ling Muyun and Huang Rong did not refuse. They all knew Yinggu’s thoughts. Yinggu thought that if they met Zhou Botong, Ling Muyun and Huang Rong could help him talk. Don’t let him run away as soon as he met, and there was no chance to speak. Since Ling Muyun and Huang Rong had already agreed to help Yinggu and Zhou Botong reconcile, they were happy.
The three of them climbed the mountain and climbed the peak. They walked higher and higher. They came all the way to a green and beautiful peak. There was a cave in front of the mountain. Huang Rong said, "Brother Yun, Yinggu, the scenery here is good and there is a resting place. Tomorrow is the day for the Huashan Sword Competition. My father and Brother Zhou and others probably have to come at that time. Let's stay here for a night tonight."
Ling Muyun nodded and agreed. Yinggu had something to ask for, so he naturally had no objection. At that moment, the three of them rested in the cave and watched the sun set. The setting sun was near the mountain, and it was almost time for dinner, so Huang Rong asked Ling Muyun to come back to get some prey and she was ready for dinner.
Huashan was rarely visited and there were many wild animals. Ling Muyun only went out for a walk and beat two pheasants and two hares with a snap of his fingers. When he returned to the cave, Huang Rong and Ying Gu had already picked up enough dry firewood. Huang Rong washed and peeled the pheasant and hares he had brought back, lit a bonfire, and then grilled them to be cooked.
At this moment, a voice suddenly heard a loud shout and approached quickly: "Zheng Duan, stop chasing me. My old naughty boy has no shame to see you. If you want to chase me again, you will jump off the cliff!"
Then an old and calm voice sounded: "Senior Brother Zhou, stop and listen to me slowly."
"I don't listen, I don't listen. Anyway, my old naughty boy did something wrong and he has no shame to meet his friends!"
While speaking, a figure turned out from behind the cliff and was rushing to the mountain, with wind in his clothes and running very quickly. Judging from his body shape and footwork, it was Zhou Botong.
"Big Brother!" "Old naughty boy!"
Ling Muyun and Huang Rong shouted immediately when they saw Zhou Botong. Ying Gu, who was with them, did not say anything, jumped out directly and pounced towards Zhou Botong without saying a word.
Zhou Botong heard the sound and saw Ling Muyun and Huang Rong, and was about to talk, but then he saw Yinggu who was rushing towards him. He suddenly felt like he had seen a ghost, and his face turned pale. He screamed and turned around and was about to escape. But when he turned around, he remembered that there were people chasing him behind him, blocking him in front and pursuing him behind, and his face turned into bitter gourd.
Yinggu was "Zhou Botong, you told me clearly today, why did you run away when you see me? Am I that scary?"
Zhou Botong didn't dare to look at Yinggu, so he jumped on the spot and shouted: "Oh, this is so bad, what should I do!"
"Amitabha, Senior Brother Zhou, don't panic. I have something to be sorry for you about the past. I came to Huashan this time, but I actually wanted to tell Senior Brother Zhou about this matter. I hope Senior Brother Zhou can give me this opportunity."
At this time, the previous voice of conversation with Zhou Botong sounded again. The sound was approaching. Then an old monk turned out from behind the cliff. He saw the old monk wearing a coarse cloth monk's robe, with two long white eyebrows hanging down from the corners of his eyes, with a kind face. Although there was a hidden sorrow between his eyebrows, his graceful and noble expression could be seen at a glance.
Ling Muyun's heart moved and had already guessed the identity of the old monk. If he was not wrong, the old monk should have become a monk and had already become a monk. His former Southern Emperor Duan Zhixing had already been named Yideng.
Huang Rong beside her also heard the identity of the old monk from Zhou Botong's previous call, and asked in a low voice to Ling Muyun: "Brother Yun, is this the Southern Emperor Duan Emperor who is on par with my father and the Seventh Duke? How did you become an old monk?"
Because Ling Muyun seemed to know everything in the past, Huang Rong wanted to ask Ling Muyun when she encountered problems. Although she knew that Ling Muyun had never seen the Southern Emperor Duan Zhixing before, she still couldn't help asking Ling Muyun.
Ling Muyun did not disappoint her and said, "I heard that Dali Kingdom admires Buddhism. Emperors of all dynasties have the custom of abdicating and becoming monks. I guess Emperor Nan also abdicated and became monks like his ancestors."
Huang Rong nodded thoughtfully.
Yinggu saw the old monk who later came to see it, and her face changed, with recollection, hatred, and resentment... In an instant, she entered the palace, learned martial arts, met Zhou, was heartless, had a child, and lost her son. Later, she only saw her son's face of pain and seeking help before her death. Although she was a little baby, she seemed to have thousands of words in her eyes, and she was complaining that her mother did not reduce the slightest pain for him, and eventually died in her arms.
