Chapter 776: All Living Beings Are Suffering, the World Is Like a Dream (Part II)
It was about to set, and the bonfire by the river had been extinguished and was rekindled, and the afterglow of the sun carried smoke and beep. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When the sun set, Lin Chong ran in the mountains, caught a roe deer and a hare, and brought them back to skin and roast. His mood has fluctuated too much in the past few days, and he has never slept and does not have much appetite, Shi Jin is not the same, he has been fighting for several months in a row, this way south, and his body is not lightly injured, although years of fighting have exercised his ability to forbear, but if he wants to recover early, he still needs a lot of food. At this time, while eating, the words in his mouth stopped slightly, and Lin Chong sat by the trunk of the tree slightly above, silently thinking about what Shi Jin said.
Canglong stood quietly aside, and the dim light on the ancient spear body changed.
“…… More than ten years ago, I was in Xinzhou City, and I met Grandmaster Zhou ......"
“…… That was the first and last time I saw the old man...... The Jurchens went south for the first time, attacked by force, and won successive battles, Xinzhou did not hold for long, the city was broken, and then there was a massacre, and Grandmaster Zhou led a group of people...... The rabble, tossing and turning in the city, wanted to assassinate Sticky Han, and two nights before the assassination, Grandmaster Zhou suddenly found me. Brother Lin, do you know why Grandmaster Zhou came to me...... He said, you are Lin Chong's brother......"
"I ...... I still can't forget what Grandmaster Zhou looked like at that time...... Brother Lin, I originally wanted to ask Grandmaster Zhou about your whereabouts, but at the moment of the national crisis, I didn't know Grandmaster Zhou before, so it was a little difficult to ask. I thought that I would kill Sticky Han together, and then I would have a friendship with each other, if it failed, it didn't matter if I didn't ask...... Sect Master Zhou asked me about you, and I said that since Yiyuan saw you fall into the water, he searched for you all over the time, it may be that you are more auspicious than lucky......"
“…… But Grandmaster Zhou said that he was not dead. We'll see you again in the future. ”
"Then Grandmaster Zhou took me to play a set of demon sticks......"
"He died two days later, and I'm still alive."
“…… In the past ten years, the Central Plains has been getting worse and worse, and when I am in Chifeng Mountain, I always think of Grandmaster Zhou's decision when he assassinated Sticky Han at that time......"
“…… If you let him see the current situation, I don't know what he thinks......"
“…… Every time I think about this, I think that it is not a pity for a person who is alive to die, but we can't go to him without doing anything...... Chifeng Mountain has survived like this all these years......"
Shi Jin has a bold temperament, even when he talks about these things, there is no sense of sadness in his calm words, he said "That is not dead, we can still see each other in the future", and did not hesitate at all, Lin Chong understood that this was the look of the old man when he spoke. The old man in the inn in Yiyuan County was furious and kicked him out of the door, but he didn't expect that in that dangerous place for soldiers, he still cared about the affairs of this unscrupulous person.
Ten years have passed, and even if it was the last question that the old man asked him, it had already been ten years ago. Listening to Shi Jin at this time, Lin Chong's emotions in his heart were like thousands of mountains away, but they were extremely complicated, he sat under the tree, looking at the red sunset in the distance, but it was difficult to show expression on his face. After watching it like this for a long time, Shi Jincai spoke slowly again, after so many years of tossing and turning, the operation and division of Chifeng Mountain, the anger and confusion in his heart.
“…… After the incident in Zezhou, I knew that I was not a general, and I didn't want to drag people down, so I went all the way north and continued to do Grandmaster Zhou's unfinished business, assassinating Sticky Han. Lin Chong turned his gaze slightly, Shi Jin picked his teeth with the hare bone fragment, when he went north, his heart was depressed and desperate, and at this time the knot was untied, and the words were only heroic and casual, "All the way to the north, to Datong, I don't want to involve too many people, in front of the street, assassinated Mu Han twice in a row...... I made nine deaths and my life, but I didn't succeed. ”
Shi Jin smiled self-deprecatingly: "...... Failure is failure, and it is really fateful to run away, I thought at that time, could it be because of the blessing of Grandmaster Zhou's spirit in the sky, asking me to do something smarter...... The second assassination was wounded, I got to know some people, I saw some things...... The Jurchens are going south again this time, and everyone can't sit still......"
He talked about the things inside and outside Datong City, about the riots and failures on June 21, and about how he changed his goal, rushed into Wanyan Xiyin's mansion, and then saw Canglongfu......
“…… There is really a fate in the world......" The sky was already dark, Shi Jin looked at the quaint spear, "As soon as I got this gun, I had such an idea in my heart." Brother Lin, or Grandmaster Zhou really has a spirit in the sky, he asked me to go north to kill the enemy, assassinate Sticky Han twice without dying, and finally got this gun, and traveled thousands of miles south, and I met you...... Maybe it's Grandmaster Zhou who asked me to hand over this gun to you......"
Lin Chong looked at the gun, and after a long time, he shook his head: "Southern...... There is also a little junior disciple, he is the master's closed disciple, and now General Yue Feiyue...... He is the true heir of Master, I ...... I don't deserve the name of Zhou Dong's disciple. ”
"The Wu Dynasty has been peaceful for two hundred years, and this catastrophe is beyond the reach of manpower." Shi Jindao, "Over the years, I have seen reckless and brave people, and I have seen all kinds of people who want to seek peace on the side of peace, Brother Lin, these people are all right. As the old saying goes, heaven and earth are like furnaces, creation is work, yin and yang are carbon, all things are copper, and all things cannot escape this catastrophe. Brother Lin, your wife is dead, and the person I like is also dead, there is no room for good people to live in this world! ”
"But you and I, boys, since we are lucky to be alive, there is nothing to care about! One day you will die, and you will live the rest of your life! Shi Jin raised his tone slightly, and was categorical, "Brother Lin, you and I can still see each other today, it is the creation of heaven and earth!" Since you and my brothers can meet again, there is still no place in the world that we can't go, and in a few days, you and I will go and kill all the thieves of the Qi family! This Canglong Fu, whether you want to keep it for yourself or go south to hand it over to your little junior brother, is to complete a major event of Grandmaster Zhou, and then ...... Lin'an can also be killed, that Gao Yu doesn't know where he is all these years, Brother Lin, even if you and I die in the catastrophe of this heaven and earth, we will always have to take these wicked people on the road together. ”
After Shi Jin reunited with Lin Chong, he finally said these words at this time, and his mood was impassioned, Lin Chong also smiled slightly: "Yes......" Shi Jin waved his hand and continued to talk. The pride in his heart was undying, and at this time, the heroic ambition in his chest burned again. Lin Chong knew that this brother was heroic and heroic, and he had been bumpy for ten years, and Shi Jin had been full of vicissitudes before, so he was excited again at this time, and he couldn't help but be happy for him. Shi Jin said for a while, and Lin Chong said: "I still have one more person to kill in the past few days." ”
Shi Jin asked who it was, Lin Chong was silent for a moment, talking about the fact that after Xu Jinhua's death, the child Mu Anping was taken away by Tan Lu, he chased all the way, first of all, he wanted to save the living first, and killing Qi Ao was still behind. Shi Jin was slightly stunned, and suddenly smashed his fist on the ground, like a raging flame in his eyes: "My nephew was taken away, why didn't you say it before at this time, Brother Lin, this is a big deal, how can you and I be delayed here, Brother Lin, you and I will leave." ”
Lin Chong sat there, but he didn't move, there was still pain in his eyes, but he said: "The child is taken away, he is a hostage, as long as I am not dead, Tan Lu will not dare to hurt him." Brother Shi, you have a heavy responsibility to go south, if you let your injuries worsen, how can you still do it? ”
After he said this, he looked at Shi Jin, showed a calm smile again, and said: "What's more, this Tan Lu is just a clown jumping on the rivers and lakes, if I want to kill him, I don't need you and my brothers to make a move, as long as he finds it, he will definitely die." ”
Shi Jin sat down slowly, but he understood in his heart that Lin Chong didn't leave this afternoon, because he found that his injuries were not light, he ran to make a fire, look for food, and stayed aside, just so that he could recuperate with peace of mind. Back then, on Liangshan, Lin Chong was a gentle-hearted but meticulous person, and whenever there were big or small affairs, most of them were handed over to him by Song Jiang. After so many years, even though he was very sad in his heart, he was still aware of these things for the first time, and even the child was arrested, and he was reluctant to say it at first.
"That'...... Brother Lin, you set off at this time and go to save the child quickly. Although I was wounded, I had no problem protecting myself, so I rested here. In a few days, you and my brother will meet at the same place......"
Lin Chong shook his head: "In the past few days, my injuries have not been light, and I have been running back and forth, and I haven't closed my eyes for several days." Rest for a while tonight, and tomorrow will be able to deal with things. ”
Shi Jin opened his mouth, and finally didn't continue, Lin Chong sat there, slowly spoke, and talked about the situation of the children at home for a while, the information of Qi Ao, Tan Lu and others, Shi Jin said: "Save the child in the future, Brother Lin, I will be his father-in-law." ”
"He has a father-in-law like the eight-armed dragon king, and he will be a man who stands up to the sky and the earth in another day." Lin Chong smiled, "It won't be like me anymore." ”
"Haha, he has the leopard head Brother Lin as his father, and I as his father-in-law, I am afraid that he will be invincible in the world in martial arts in the future!"
Shi Jin said this, after a while, and said: "Brother Lin, I went south this time, and the things behind me are indeed too heavy, otherwise I will definitely go with you to save people this time." ”
Lin Chong nodded, and Shi Jin continued over there: "On the day of the Datong riot, those Han people who started the incident had already been slaughtered all over the city in Wanyan Xiyin's calculations, and I took Canglong and came back, and I saw a person who was wounded and was waiting for me. Don't hide it from Brother Lin, this person is a member of the Black Flag Army, but he took advantage of the chaos to do a big thing near Datong, and then I took a copy of the things to the south......"
"Brother Lin also knows that in the years since the founding of the Pseudo-Qi Dynasty, Liu Yu was called the emperor and became the emperor, and there were few Jurchens, and he had not swallowed the teeth of the Central Plains for a while. However, during the occupation of the Central Plains by the Puppet Qi, the Jurchens also did a lot of things, and secretly persuaded many Han people in the Central Plains to sincerely join the Jurchens...... This time, the black flag captured Liu Yu and forced him to express his position, many people with lofty ideals who have not yet given up may seize the opportunity to raise troops anyway, but there are always traitors who can't turn back, or simply don't want to turn back...... The black flag spy took advantage of the chaos to steal this list and asked me to bring it to Lou Shuwan, Yu Yulin and others under the command of King Jin...... The legend of the Jurchen flying pigeons, chasing and intercepting, is what this thing is......"
Shi Jin has a frank personality, picked up the package around him at this time, and told Lin Chong the whole thing, he took out one of the small bags: "Actually, this way south, I also thought that since the Black Flag Army can plant spies in Datong, there must be means and channels to communicate in the past, even if he is injured, why did he come to me, it is very likely...... I've fallen for his wickedness......"
Shi Jin talked about the possibility of being deceived, and his face smiled: "But I thought later, such an important news may not be as simple as I thought, for example, he asked me to lead the enemy in the open, and the real messenger may go safer?" Or, this list is so important, Wanyan Xiyin learned that it was leaked, and he must find someone to confuse it, maybe what I brought can be corroborated with other people's carrying, otherwise Wanyan Xiyin will make a list of eight points out of ten, or there will be a slight problem inside the black flag, Zhongyuan ...... At least the King of Jin and others will resist Jin, and they will never recover......"
Lin Chong nodded: "Such important information has to be confirmed repeatedly......
"So...... Even if one of them is true, it is not a pity that I, Shi Jin, died for such a big thing, and died as he deserved. Brother Lin. As he spoke, he threw the small bag towards Lin Chong, Lin Chong reached out to catch it, his eyes were puzzled, Shi Jin said, "It's just a list and incriminating evidence, and there may be black flag codes in it, but the person who asked me to send the letter didn't care that I looked through it at will." I originally wanted to find someone to copy this thing in ten hundred copies, and it was all over the world, but I was afraid that I would let Xiyin see it first and cause some accidents. At this time, Brother Lin is here, so he can naturally take a look, these thieves should all be killed! ”
He pillowed his hands behind his head, leaned against the crooked tree, and said heartily: "This time, if Brother Lin is unwilling to go south, you and my brother can follow this list, kill the family in the past, and take revenge for heaven and happiness, and it is worth dying." This Tianxingdao was originally a slogan of Liangshan, which was said many times more than ten years ago, and then it was said by the history of the import, and it has a different meaning. The temperament of the two may not be easy to be leaders, and leading the troops to resist gold may be a bad thing, since this is the case, it may be more refreshing to learn from Grandmaster Zhou back then, killing all the unrighteous people in the world. Shi Jin was nearly forty years old at this time, and since Chifeng Mountain, he reunited with Lin Chong today, and finally found another way, and there is no need to say much about the happiness in his heart.
Lin Chong just glanced at the roster twice, and then handed it back to Shi Jin, who smiled: "Over the years, the territory of the Han people has been unimpeded by the power of the Jurchens. Today we need to recover well, and tomorrow we can repair them......"
He was in a good mood, only to feel that most of his injuries were still healed, and that night the stars were shining, Shi Jin lay in the valley, and said some words to Lin Chong, and finally let himself sleep. Lin Chong sat for a long time, closed his eyes, still had no sleep, occasionally got up and walked, looked at the spear, stretched out his hand several times, but did not dare to touch it after all. Zhou Dong's words were still in his ears, although his body was ethereal, to Lin Chong, it seemed to be in front of him, as if it happened in a clear moment.
For more than ten years, he hid in that illusory corner like a rabbit, dragging Xu Jinhua and Mu Anping, telling himself that everything he had and around him was an illusion. Now he can finally see clearly that Brother Shi is right, it is already a troubled time.
He had been left behind more than a decade ago, and beyond.
For Xu Jinhua, what swelled up in his heart was a huge guilt, and even for the child, occasionally thinking about it, the illusory feeling in his heart also made him feel unable to breathe, everything for more than ten years was just a remorse, and now there is nothing, and he met Brother Shi back then. Today's eight-armed dragon king's heroic hero, like his master, is a great hero and a great hero who stands tall in the turbulent torrent of troubled times, and can roar forward even though he is covered in blood.
He could even imagine that on the night in Xinzhou City, Master and Shi Jin fought the set of demon sticks together. If...... If Master is still alive at this time, when he sees Brother Shi in front of him, he will definitely give him a thumbs up and give him the highest recognition.
Along the way, he is just a coward who has honor but cowers......
This night, he surrounded the moonlit dragon, stretched out his hand, and cried silently, but there were no tears. The midsummer night was silent, and the world was turbulent, spreading past him. He is like an old man who has been sleeping in time for more than ten years, and now he wakes up, looking at this world, there are no coordinates, and the knife of time has shredded his soul, and he wants to make up for the frost and dust owed by him for more than ten years.
In the middle of the night, Shi Jin woke up once and saw Lin Chong dancing an invisible gun in the moonlight, his gun holder was unpretentious, one move and one style, and the rules were in order, just like Zhou Dong back then, without the slightest fancy embellishment, like a serious child. Canglong stood aside, quietly watching him.
At that time, Lin Chong was the best and most disciplined disciple in the Imperial Boxing Gym, he was tired of this all his life, and now he went around in a big circle, and finally walked back here.
Shi Jin fell into a deep sleep. In the early morning, he was awakened by the birdsong of the woods. He sat up, and suddenly found that the little burden around him was no longer there, Shi Jinyue got up and looked for Lin Chong's figure, Lin Chong had also disappeared, and on the stone where Canglong was standing, Lin Chong probably wrote two lines of words with the blood that bit his fingertips.
"Brother Shi, I'll deliver the letter, you save Anping for me.
-- He will meet again one day. ”
Although Shi Jin is strong in martial arts and has a temperament like steel, he has suffered many injuries all the way south, after all, he has suffered a lot of injuries, and yesterday's ambush in Tongniuling, if it weren't for Lin Chong on the side, even if Shi Jin could escape, I am afraid that he would have to lose half his life. And Mu Anping fell into the hands of Tan Lu, even if Lin Chong said it easily and stayed for one night, how could he really leave his son and go south with his brother? He thought about it, felt that he was useless, and he didn't have to care, so he took Shi Jin's place and took the next step, as for the child who fell into the hands of Tan Lu, he had his brother's martial arts and character, so he didn't have to worry about it anymore.
When Shi Jin woke up, Lin Chong left Canglongfu behind, and he was already riding his horse on the way south......
