Chapter 379: The Cruel Truth (5300 Words Chapter)
Use swordsmanship to avenge your father.
This was the first thought that came to the head of the 14-year-old Beichen after seeing the death of his parents.
Under his father's education since childhood, he clearly knew that the opponent was not responsible for the death in the competition. And he didn't want to insult the Beichen family's "one-knife" signboard, so he didn't choose to call the police.
Since his father died in a swordsmanship duel, it is up to him to take over the inheritance of swordsmanship, and then use swordsmanship to avenge his parents.
And he did.
Holding the "Heartless Pill" left by his father, he walked step by step towards the Juhe Sword Pavilion.
When he stepped into the Ihe Sword Pavilion, he immediately aroused the curiosity of many apprentices in the Sword Pavilion. Because at this time, Beichen's eyes were cold, and the clothes on his body were still stained with mottled blood, although he was slender, he stood there like a killing god.
"The heir of the Beichen family's one-sword swordsmanship, Beichen one-sword came to visit and challenge the master of the Juhe swordsmanship hall to the Juhe Tezuka!"
Beichen looked at the slightly surprised Sword Pavilion apprentices with a cold expression and said.
"Beichen stabbed?"
Hearing this name, the students were very surprised.
Because this name is too famous in their ancient swordsmanship world, it can be said that it is a recognized swordsmanship genius in the circle, and it has the potential to be the first swordsman in the official group in the future, which is basically unknown to everyone.
"Beichen-kun, don't mess around, you haven't reached the age to participate in the official group, and the hall master is not something you can challenge!" A middle-aged man wearing a white Juhe Sword Pavilion costume couldn't help but step forward and frowned.
"I'm going to challenge Iai, Tezuka, if I don't agree, then I'll surrender to me by default to the Ichi-swordsmanship, and from then on, my status in the swordsmanship world will be lower than my Beichen Ichi-swords!"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man's face changed suddenly.
In his opinion, these words are undoubtedly provocative, you must know that now Beichen Yidaoliu is the last among all the ancient swordsmanship schools, and in the annual ranking official competition, Beichen Hideo has always been the tail of the crane, and he has never advanced, so let the Iaiji surrender to Yidaoliu, which is even more of a trampling on dignity in the eyes of middle-aged men.
"Beichen stab, are you sure?" The middle-aged man's expression became solemn, although Beichen was still just a child, but these words were already a knife to the gym of the Juhe system.
"I'm sure, let Iai Tezuka fight me!"
The middle-aged man nodded with anger in his eyes, and then turned to leave.
And Beichen Yidao just stood quietly in place, ignoring the curious eyes around him, waiting for the arrival of Iaitezuka.
His words were too decisive, and he moved out of the battle between the high and low schools of swordsmanship, even if he was a child, but the Koi Aitezuka still arrived.
In the face of the enemy who killed his father, Beichen Yidao did not say too much, nor did he cry and shout like a child, and his calmness did not match his age at all.
Under the leadership of the middle-aged swordsman of the Iaijian Pavilion, Beichen Ichitoke and Ichizuka came to a courtyard behind the Sword Pavilion.
Iai Tezuka is a 47-year-old middle-aged man, wearing a loose white swordsmanship costume, with the famous sword "Iai Chop" hanging from his waist, and clogs under his feet, with a steady momentum on his body, compared to Beichen's sword, it looks a little slender, and it doesn't look like an order of magnitude at all.
"Beichen-kun, are you challenging me on behalf of your father? This disappointed me! Looking at Beichen with a knife, Juai Tezuka said regretfully.
At this time, Iai Tezuka was also very surprised by the arrival of Beichen's sword.
Because it was obviously his father Hideo Beichen who made an appointment to fight with him, but it was Beichen who came at this moment, which made him feel that it was Hideo Beichen who avoided the competition he had made an appointment with, which was really a coward's move.
The disappointment he was referring to was Hideo Kitatsu.
However, this sentence sounds different to Beichen Yidao.
Beichen had a cold face, and did not answer again, but pulled out the "Heartless Pill" and put on a knife drawing posture.
Seeing this, Iaii Tezuka also pulled out the "Iai" in his hand, raised the sword horizontally, and put on the posture of the upper section of the swordsmanship attack.
"Beichen-kun, I won't keep my hands in this competition, you think clearly!"
Beichen still didn't answer, the anger didn't overwhelm his head, and his thinking was unusually clear at this time.
The Heartless Pill slowly pulled out of the scabbard, and at the same time as the sword body was halfway drawn, his figure rushed forward, pulled out the Heartless Pill with the momentum, and stabbed it towards Iai Tezuka's throat.
"Hah!"
Iai Tezuka: The long sword that was about to be raised slashed down from the head.
At this time, Beichen's sword was low, and he moved to the left with a sliding step, but Iai's Tezuka's attack also changed direction in the next split, obviously he had already seen through Beichen's attack with a knife, and only used a three-point false move, and then quickly changed his move.
Fortunately, Beichen reacted in time with a knife and raised the knife to meet him, otherwise this move would have cut off his head.
However, in the competition of strength, Beichen Yidao was obviously not the opponent of Iai Tezuka, and with the sound of metal collision, Beichen Yidao was smashed to the ground.
"Beichen-kun, you lost!"
After Juai Tezuka finished speaking, he put away his sword after pulling it down, stood in front of Beichen and spoke.
"Come again!"
Beichen got up from the ground with a grim face, took a few steps back, and stood in front of Igai Tezuka again, assuming a posture of drawing his sword.
Seeing this, Iai's Tezuka frowned, but he still pulled out the Iai.
This time, it was still Beichen's first attack, and this sword was still aimed at the throat.
Although Beichen Yidao is extremely talented in swordsmanship, after all, the cultivation time is too short to compare with Iaitezuka, who has been immersed in kendo for many years. Immediately saw the flaw of Beichen's knife, and slashed down the Juhe slash in his hand diagonally, slashing towards the head of Beichen's knife.
However, to his surprise, Beichen didn't close his sword this time, and the sword still stabbed straight into his neck.
This sword, Beichen's determination to die with a sword, he used his life to take revenge.
Bloodstained!
Beichen stabbed the sword into the neck of Iaitezuka as he wished, but Iai's sword gave up at the end.
"Cough woo woo ......" The "Iai Chop" in Iai's Tezuka's hand fell, clutching his neck and breathing hard.
At this moment, Beichen was stunned, he didn't know why Iaitezuka would stop at the last moment.
"Why!"
Beichen looked at the kneeling on the ground and whimpered, and shouted angrily.
However, at this time, Iai Tezuka was no longer able to answer his question, and fell to his knees, his expression extremely painful.
The disciples of the Sword Pavilion who were watching around hurriedly began to call the emergency number, stepped forward to help Juhe up, carried him and began to walk outside.
At that moment, Beichen stabbed without a trace of revenge.
Iaitezuka could have killed him, but he put away the knife, which seemed insulting to Beichen Ichitosa.
If you can, why not take the knife on my father!
With complicated feelings, Beichen walked out step by step under the angry gaze of all the disciples of the Juhe Sword Pavilion.
When he returned to his home, he saw a number of police cars, surrounded by neighborhoods.
Seeing this scene, Beichen Yidao was neither happy nor sad in his heart, so he walked straight in.
However, as soon as he entered the courtyard, he was stopped by the police:
"At the scene of a serious crime, outsiders are not allowed to enter!"
"I am Beichen Yidao, the son of the deceased!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the policemen around him turned their eyes to him.
After this, he was taken back to the police station for an investigation.
In the face of the police's questioning, Beichen told the truth, he told the police that his father died in a swordsmanship competition, and his mother couldn't bear the pain and followed.
But he made it clear that he would give up accountability!
The non-liability treaty of the ancient sword competition was protected by the law at the time, because it was a historical legacy, just like the death in a boxing match hundreds of years ago, it was an unintentional casualty in a competitive competition and would be exempted from liability.
In other words, as long as Beichen agrees not to be held accountable, then this matter will be finalized.
But naturally, the police will not be so perfunctory.
recorded all the words that Beichen Yidao said word for word, and began to investigate the matter.
Three days later, Beichen saw a message.
γIai swordsmanship master "Iai Tezuka" death ......γ
On the same day, he was taken back to the police station again.
This time, the police told him two pieces of news.
The first is that Iai's relatives have given up the responsibility for him for killing Iaitezuka!
Beichen, who heard the news, was not happy or sad, he had already guessed this result.
However, the second news was like a thunderbolt, and Beichen's head sounded steadily.
According to the police description, through the nearby surveillance investigation, his father did not go to test his swordsmanship with Iaitezuka that day, let alone leave the house, according to the investigation at the scene, the final conclusion is.
His father was killed by her mother.
As for the cause, the results of the investigation have not yet been released, and the police asked him if he could provide clues, or if he had found any abnormal reactions from his parents, whether it was because the family relationship was not harmonious, etc.
However, at that time, Beichen Yidao didn't listen to what the police were saying afterwards.
He didn't believe it, he didn't believe that his mother would kill his father, she loved her father so much, every time she looked at her father, her eyes were so gentle and affectionate, what reason would she have to kill her dear lover.
Beichen couldn't accept the words given by the police, let alone listen to what he said, so he immediately ignored the police's inquiries and ran home alone.
At this time, Beichen Yidao felt that what the police said was a lie, all of this was false, in his opinion, anyone could kill his father, but his mother would not.
When he got home, he hurried back to his mother's room and began to rummage for all possible clues, and he desperately needed a reason, a reason to prove that his parents were in love.
The ring from the wedding, the flower paper umbrella given on Valentine's Day, and the group photo in front of the cherry blossom tree......
Just as Beichen thought about it, his mother cherished countless memories with his father, all of which were proof that his mother loved his father deeply, and all of this was also proof that his mother could not kill his father.
At this time, a pink diary entered Beichen's field of vision.
When he opened the diary, he found that it was full of his mother's thoughts.
Most of the first part of the record is the experience of her meeting and falling in love with her father, and the second half of the content is in addition to her father Hideo Kitachen, there is one more person, that is, his birth and growth.
The words in the diary are beautiful, revealing a strong sense of happiness, looking at it, I can't help but make Beichen's eyes moist.
However, the follow-up of the diary made Beichen stunned, and his eyes gradually revealed disbelief.
At the end, there was only horror in his eyes, because everything his mother recorded at the end just proved that what the police said was true.
β¦β¦
Monday, October XX, 2309, sunny.
Today Hideo drank a lot for a long time and seemed to be in a bad mood, I helped him into the room to rest, but he cried, this is the first time I saw Hideo crying, I don't know what happened, I started to ask him.
Hideo told me that he was embarrassed by a knife, and that it would be very uncomfortable to have such a weak father.
I began to comfort him and persuade him, but Hideo was already drunk by that time and didn't listen to what I was saying, just crying about his incompetence.
At this moment, I was heartbroken, and I felt even more self-reproachful for not being able to help Hideo when he was vulnerable.
Wednesday, October 2309, X, light rain.
Hideo's condition was getting worse and worse, and I could feel that he was stressed, but he didn't say anything to me except the time he was drunk.
I knew that he was afraid that I would worry and bear the pressure on himself alone, but such a Hideo was really pitiful, so I decided to go to the "shrine" tomorrow to pray for Hideo and hope that he would survive.
Come on! Hideo, you're the best!
Sunday, October 2309, Sunny.
Today is the day of the swordsmanship junior group competition, a knife is still so good and outstanding, once again won the first place in the junior group, a knife on the field is really similar to Hideo when he was young, really handsome, I am proud of him!
Tuesday, October 2309, Sunny.
I can feel that Hideo's condition has deteriorated after Ichidao won the first place again, although he is also proud of Ichito, but he is also a swordsman, I guess he feels that he is disgraced by Ichidao again, how can I comfort him.
I suddenly felt that Yidao shouldn't be so good, how good he used to be, he was really too good, and he put too much pressure on his father.
Tuesday, October 2309, heavy rain.
Today Hideo came to me and confided in me, I am very happy, really happy that Hideo is no longer hiding from me and is willing to share the bitterness in his heart with me.
But what he said to me scared me a little, he said that he wanted to practice the ancient sword intent swordsmanship, and he wanted to make Yidao proud of him.
I disagreed, but Hideo begged me to respect his choice, and he really couldn't stand being called a weak person anymore.
I couldn't help but cry when I looked at Hideo's helplessness and hope, but I finally agreed, because I saw longing in Hideo's eyes, and it was probably the only way to get him back on his feet.
Thursday, October 2309, fog.
Recently, the confident and cheerful Hideo has returned, he has really changed, the previous decadence has been swept away, and now he is so confident, he told me that he has become stronger and stronger, and the cultivation of the ancient sword intent swordsmanship is really very effective.
But I was worried, because I knew that the cultivation of the ancient sword intent swordsmanship was a forbidden book that the body could not bear, and I was afraid that something would happen to Hideo, what should I do at that time, and what should I do with a sword.
But I didn't stop Hideo from continuing to cultivate, because that was Hideo's hope, and I couldn't bear to break it, and I didn't want to see him as decadent as before.
Friday, October 2309, Sunny.
Hideo told me that he had already written a battle letter to Iaite Tezuka, and was confident that he would win this sword fight.
I'm happy for him, please bless the gods, really let Hideo win once, after that, I can persuade Hideo to give up the cultivation of the ancient sword intent swordsmanship.
Wednesday, October 2039, Sunny.
Hideo's health suddenly became very bad before the competition, and when I went to the hospital to check his body, I found that there were slight injuries to his internal organs, which made me feel very scared, and it was time to come.
I hope that he will give up the battle with Iaitezuka for the time being and take care of his body first. But Hideo refused, and he told me that he could definitely win this battle and must not give up, otherwise he would really be called a coward.
Saturday, October 2039, Sunny.
The day before the fight, Hideo's physical condition was getting worse and worse, and he seemed to have mental problems, and he hallucinated from time to time, but he always endured the pain in front of Ichito, and told me not to tell Ichito, he is a good father, but I really shouldn't bear this kind of pain anymore, what should I do.
I suddenly felt that I was too weak to provide Hideo with any help, and I felt guilty for that.
Sunday, May 19, 2039.
Tomorrow is the day when Hideo and Iai Tezuka will make an appointment, but Hideo's physical condition at this time is really not optimistic, and now he is even trembling a little when he walks, how can he hold a sword to fight, this time he shouldn't go, otherwise I'm afraid Hideo will really have an accident.
I tried to persuade Hideo, but he refused again and told me that he was going to try to break through the taboo in the ancient sword intent and break through the restraints of his body.
He told me that if he succeeded, the sword qi in his body would condense into a sword pill and would not run around in his body, that is, he would return to a normal person, but if he didn't succeed, he would fall into a demon and completely become a person who lost his mind.
I was scared and asked him how he really failed and what to do.
He knelt down and begged me to kill him if that was the time, because he didn't want to discredit the "knife stream" anymore......
Monday, May 20, 2039, fine.
Today is the day of Hideo's appointment, and it is also the day when Hideo tries to break through the taboo of sword intent, I'm so scared, really scared......
β¦β¦
Looking at his mother's diary, Beichen's heart trembled.
From the happiness and warmth at the beginning to the sorrow at the end, the change in the mother's mentality comes from the father, but in the final analysis, it comes from herself.
He had always felt that he was very good, and that he was proud of his mother and father, but he never knew that he had put such a heavy pressure on his father.
At this time, Beichen Yidao had already understood that the police did not deceive him, and it was his mother who killed his father.
Although her mother still loves her father deeply, it is precisely because of this deep love that she made a choice that made her heart ache and end her father, who was also extremely painful.
And in the end, the mother couldn't bear the grief in her heart and chose to follow.
Therefore, it was never Iai Tezuka who was wrong in all this, but himself, and it was his own excellence that killed his father.
The truth was so bloody that Beichen couldn't help but cry, he couldn't accept this fact.
At this time, he hated how good he was, if he didn't put pressure on his father, nothing would have happened.
Powerlessness is the truest portrayal of him at the moment.
It seemed that the world had turned gray, and he was lying on the ground, holding his mother's notebook and crying bitterly, at this time he was truly like a child......
