Chapter 228: The End of Fate
Xiao Wuzhong's last move, "Sword Qi Breaking the Sky", attacked Xiao Tian, Xiao Tian raised the plum blossom sword in his hand, and made a move forward, "Flying Dragon in the Sky", and the dragon formed by the sword qi and "Sword Qi Breaking the Sky were hard to connect"......
After the thunderstorm passed, the rain gradually became lighter, and the dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed. After the dark clouds receded, the dark sky gradually ushered in a gradual light. The pouring rain gradually decreased, first into sparse bean-sized raindrops, and finally into a drizzle, and there was no longer the sound of the rain just now.
The rain has subsided, and the prospect that has been vague a moment ago is gradually becoming clearer. Xiao Bo was still waiting on the opposite side of Xiao Wuzhong's courtyard, looking at Xiao Wuzhong's house that was gradually becoming clearer, there had been no sound on the other side for a long time, and it seemed that the duel between Xiao Tian and Xiao Wuzhong had ended. Xiao Bo's heart has always been hanging, and he has always been worried about Xiao Tian's safety, so he can't wait to see the outcome of the situation at this time......
In Xiao Wuzhong's hall, the furnishings in the room are still dilapidated......
The previous heavy rain poured down, completely drenching the floor of the hall. And on the damp floor, there was dripping blood everywhere - it was the blood that Xiao Wuzhong had lost a lot of from cutting off his left arm before.
In the middle of the hall, a man stood in front of him, and a man lay on the ground. The person standing was holding a plum blossom sword, with a slender knife mark on the left side of his face, and looked at the person lying on the ground without breath with complicated eyes - it seems that the last round of the duel just now was won by Xiao Tian, and the ending of the duel between life and death was Xiao Tian's "laughter" to the end......
Because Xiao Wuzhong did not pay attention to the supporting force of the beams and pillars of the house, he used the Xiao family's swordsmanship to destroy the pillars of the house. The beam above the guide fell and hit himself, causing him to break his left arm. A thought of not being calm. Xiao Wuzhong finally brought about his own destruction.
Of course, Xiao Tian also calmly observed the surrounding environment before, and came up with a plan at the critical moment, so that Xiao Wuzhong lost his cool and finally died under his own sword.
Seeing Xiao Wuzhong, who had lost his left arm, lying on the blood-covered floor without any movement, Xiao Tian's expression was still very solemn. Xiao Tian looked at Xiao Wuzhong's corpse for a long time, and did not make a sound for a long time......
The rain outside the door stopped completely. All that remains is the low ticking of rain along the eaves...... Sunlight peeked out through the cracks in the dark clouds, shining through the door and through the darkness in front of it. Through Xiao Tian's back.
Xiao Tian still stood still, and finally, Xiao Tian looked at Xiao Wuzhong's corpse on the ground, and said slowly: "I said it before. In the end, the fate of fate will determine a qiē...... You've always said that fate is up to you. Now it's up to you. You ended up dying at your own hands, ruined by your own hands along with the dark future you had always wanted, and this is the result of the answers that our Father, Master, and ourselves have been trying to find......"
After Xiao Tian finished speaking, his head gradually lowered, looking at the red ground, although he successfully killed Xiao Wuzhong, his heart was extremely heavy - this was the first time Xiao Tian had killed since he was born. And this person turned out to be a disciple of the Xiao family like himself, a person who had a fate contrary to himself......
A breach in the eaves that was broken in the previous duel. At this point, it has become a natural skylight. The new sunlight shines through the skylight on Xiao Tian's body, and the new light reflects a lonely back......
Xiao Bo was still waiting quietly outside, looking at the courtyard on the opposite side of the courtyard, he could also see the dilapidated scene of the house - Xiao Bo also knew very well that there must have been a fierce life-and-death duel in the hall just now.
Xiao Bo's eyes were still staring, but he was always at ease in his heart. Until some time later, a familiar figure appeared at the door......
"Ah Tian-" Xiao Bo recognized it, and it was Xiao Tian who came out of the courtyard.
Xiao Tian himself was also injured a lot, and he was already exhausted from the life-and-death duel with Xiao Wuzhong. Xiao Tian leaned against the gate of the courtyard, the sword wound on his left arm was still clearly visible, his whole body was stained with rain and blood, and he was limping when he walked.
Seeing Xiao Tian's "messy" appearance, Xiao Bo immediately ran over, and he knew very well in his heart that Xiao Tian had successfully killed Xiao Wuzhong, and all the suspense was over.
"Ah Tian, you've been injured a lot, are you okay?" Xiao Bo ran to Xiao Tian's side and asked with concern.
"I'm fine, it's just that I suffered some sword wounds...... Xiao Tian said lightly, "Xiao Wuzhong killed me with all my heart, and finally died under his own sword, so it can be regarded as his own life......"
"Xiao Wuzhong is dead, so ...... now Are you going back to the villa?" asked Xiao Bo again.
Xiao Tian closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then said softly: "Jia'er destroyed the copper cannon in the west of the city, and I also killed Xiao Wuzhong with my own hands, and when Wang Dasheng's troops arrived in Lingguan City, knowing the situation, they would definitely not let me and Jia'er go...... Although Jia'er and I helped Xiaojia Villa, we also brought a lot of trouble to Xiaojia Villa, I'm afraid Master won't keep me anymore......"
"Ah Tian ......" Xiao Bo listened to Xiao Tian's words and said in a slightly sad tone, "Before everything, including Ah Tian, your father's will, we have always hidden it from you. Now that you know the truth, end your fate, and have to leave the villa, Ah Tian, you must be very sad in your heart......"
When Xiao Tian heard this, he shook his head with a smile and said, "Now that I know the truth, I have no regrets." If I really have to leave Xiaojia Villa, there is no way, maybe self-destruction is Xiao Wuzhong's last fate, then it may be my last fate to never have anything to do with Xiaojia Villa again......"
Xiao Bo actually knew very well that Xiao Tian was actually very sad when he said this with a smile. Even if he goes back to Xiaojia Villa now, it is very likely that Master Xiao Juxian will no longer leave Xiao Tian in the villa. As I said before, in the end, Xiao Tian still failed to be a disciple of Xiaojia Villa......
With a sad mood, they slowly left the ruined and ruined Lingguan Valley City, and Xiao Tian and Xiao Bo embarked on the road home......
At the place of Xiaojia Villa, the main hall was full of disciples of Xiaojia Villa. Today is the day of worship. Although Xiao Tian and Xiao Bo went to Lingguan City, their lives and deaths were uncertain, but the worship day of the villa was still held as usual.
In previous years, the atmosphere of the worship day was very strict. But today, in addition to Yan Sù, the whole villa also has a gloomy color. Coupled with the storm that fell just now, the entire Xiaojia Villa was still filled with a kind of "heartless" coldness.
On the day of worship, as usual, the disciples of Xiaojia Villa stood in two columns, starting from inside the hall and continuing to stand outside the door. Descend the stairs through the courtyard in the middle and finally line up directly at the entrance of the villa. The disciples of the two columns of the mountain villa slashed each other very neatly. Directly give way to the middle......
The rain drops on the leaves fell to the ground dripping, accompanied by the rhythmic sound of the rain, Xiao Juxian in the hall looked at the spirit case in front of the hall and the hanging token "Bai Ling Fengjin", and his heart was also beating rhythmically and regularly. There are thoughts about all the heads of the predecessors. There are also worries about the safety of Xiao Tian and Xiao Bo......
The worship day of Xiaojia Villa was originally a solemn day to trace back to the previous generation, but Xiao Juxian never expected that it has now become the day when more than 20 years of fate ended and the fate of Xiaojia Villa was decided...... For more than 20 years, from the oath of the former head Xiao Rencong, to the failure of educating Xiao Wuzhong, to the last wish of Xiao Tian's father Xiao Zhen, he learned a lesson and educated Xiao Tian in another way. In the end, Xiao Tian knew the truth, and today he found Xiao Wuzhong, who betrayed his master, to fight to the death...... So it has to be fateful. Just today, the day of the head of the worship day, there will be an end soon......
Xiao Juxian continued to look at the spiritual cases of all the previous heads, while paying tribute to each head, while quietly waiting for the result of fate......
After a long time, two people slowly walked up from under the stairs of Xiaojia Villa. The two of them went up the stairs and slowly walked to the gate of the villa - it was Xiao Tian and Xiao Bo who had returned.
When the disciples standing in two rows saw the two coming back, they all looked at the two who came back, and their eyes were also full of surprise - Xiao Bo was unharmed on the side, while Xiao Tian was covered in bruises, unable to even walk steadily, and the whole person leaned slightly on Xiao Bo's shoulder.
Xiao Tian glanced at the main hall in front of him and knew that the mountain villa was doing the ritual of worshipping the sun at this time. Xiao Tian shrugged his shoulders, motioned for himself to leave Xiao Bo's side, and walked slowly in the direction of the stairs in front of him and the direction of the main hall.
After Xiao Bo realized it, he didn't help Xiao Tian anymore, but quietly watched Xiao Tian limp towards the main hall in front. After Xiao Tian had a distance from him, Xiao Bo slowly walked forward.
Xiao Tian's whole body was covered in blood, and the disciples on both sides looked in Xiao Tian's direction one after another, and their eyes were also full of surprise. Of course, they also knew that Xiao Tian and Xiao Bo had come back, indicating that Xiao Wuzhong had been corrected......
Xiao Tian was injured all over his body, and he was so tired that he even had some trouble going up the stairs. But Xiao Tian still endured the fatigue and severe pain, and continued to walk in the direction of the hall, it seemed that he must go to his master's side.
Xiao Qi, Xue Cui and the others at the door looked at Xiao Tian like this, and they were also a little unbearable, even Su Jia, who was not a disciple of Xiao Family Villa, who was standing outside the queue, saw Xiao Tian covered in injuries and showed sadness......
Finally, Xiao Tian stepped on the threshold of the main hall, walked a long way with great difficulty, and finally walked to the main hall and walked behind his master Xiao Juxian.
Standing in the hall were all disciples of the Xiao Family Villa, who were also limping Xiao Tian with incredible eyes. Xiao Tian didn't stop, and continued to walk in the direction of Xiao Juxian, what he was looking at was not only the back of his master, but also the spiritual positions of all the previous heads in front of his master......
At this time, Xiao Bo also slowly walked into the main hall. According to the status classification of the Xiao family's disciples, Xiao Bo walked quickly to the side of his master Xiao Juxian, and then whispered to his master: "Master, Ah Tian and I are back......"
Xiao Juxian didn't make a sound, nor did he look sideways at Xiao Bo, and continued to look at the spiritual case in front of the hall.
Finally, Xiao Tian slowly walked to a very close distance behind Xiao Juxian, and then his footsteps stopped. Xiao Tian's gaze did not change, and he did not say anything, as if he was waiting for his master to speak to him first......
The qiē was very calm, and the smoke of the incense burner in front of the case rose in wisps......
"Kneel down and ......" Finally, Xiao Juxian turned his back to Xiao Tian and said softly.
Xiao Tian stood for a long time, and after hearing his master's insignificant order, his knees slowly bent, his whole body fell vertically, and finally the whole person knelt behind his master.
The disciples of the two columns were still looking at the scene of Xiao Tian kneeling behind Xiao Juxian in front of them with focused eyes, no one made a sound, and the entire main hall and even the entire Xiao Family Villa seemed extremely quiet at this time......
After Xiao Tian knelt on the ground, he still didn't make a sound immediately, his eyes were closed, silently waiting for the master's next possible lecture.
Xiao Juxian was silent for a long time, and then slowly spoke: "Since you have already made a break with Xiao Wuzhong, I won't mention the rest of the matter...... When the people of the Mengyuan court come to Lingguan City, they will definitely not give up. Xiao Wuzhong's matter has caused Xiaojia Villa to experience a lot of turmoil, and this matter can no longer implicate Xiaojia Villa in the imperial court, so I can't keep you in Xiaojia Villa anymore, you understand......"
Xiao Tian knelt on the ground and was silent for a long time, and pondered for a long time, then he opened his eyes and said slowly, "I know...... However, the ancients said, 'A teacher for one day, a father for life', once a disciple of Xiaojia Villa, and a disciple of Xiaojia Villa in this life and this life. Even if the apprentice is away from home in the future, he will never forget the kindness of the master's education, and the kindness of the master and apprentice, and never forget each other-"
After speaking, Xiao Tian endured the severe pain all over his body, leaned down, and knocked his head on the ground three times.
At this moment, time is like a freeze, although it is only three rings, but the three heads kowtow, time seems to have passed for a long time, it should be said that it is the scene of Xiao Tian kowtowing to Xiao Juxian's back, which has long made the Xiao family disciples on both sides unforgettable.
The sound of Xiao Tian kowtowing suddenly seemed extremely heavy in such a quiet scene, and every sound seemed to knock on everyone's heartstrings. When the disciples of the Xiao family on both sides saw this scene, some were deeply touched, and some female disciples couldn't even hold back their tears.
"Ah Tian ......" Xiao Bo stood beside Xiao Juxian, watching the scene of Xiao Tian kowtowing, and his heart was also deeply sentimental.
Su Jia stood at the door frame of the door, turned her face sideways and saw a scene in the hall, and saw the scene of Xiao Tian kowtowing behind his master's back, and he couldn't hold back his tears after all, tears seeped out of his eyes and slowly dripped down his cheeks......
used to be a disciple of Xiaojia Villa, and he has always had the desire to dedicate a qiē to Xiaojia Villa, but because of a fate more than 20 years ago, his life was changed. And the price of this change is that he will no longer be a disciple of Xiaojia Villa for the rest of his life. Just like a person who has left his hometown, he will no longer be a person from his hometown for the rest of his life, and Xiao Tian's painful state of mind at this time is the same......
Xiao Juxian always turned his back to Xiao Tian, and he didn't look back at Xiao Tian, even when he spoke. He kept looking at the spiritual case in front of the hall, but at this time, he was no longer thinking about the former head of Xiao Family Villa, but Xiao Tian behind him.
Xiao Tian's sound of kowtowing behind his back, Xiao Wuzhong could also hear it clearly. Such a fateful and fateful choice is indeed too unfair to Xiao Tian. If the fate of more than 20 years ago did not implicate Xiao Tian and Xiao Wuzhong's respective fathers, if he did not fail to educate Xiao Wuzhong, if he did not make Xiao Tian a reprimand who did not follow in his footsteps...... But fate is like this, he decides a person, and at the same time there is no turning back to change. And looking back again, isn't the beginning of this fateful fate the "bane" that Xiao Juxian himself has sown? Now that this is the case, it is too late to say anything......
After thinking for a long time, Xiao Wuzhong turned his back to Xiao Tian, as the head of Xiao Family Villa and one of the Seven Heroes of Martial Arts, he also left two bitter tears......
Xiaojia Villa, both sides of the main hall are full of disciples of Xiaojia Villa, but today's Xiaojia Villa is extremely quiet. On the day of the worship day of the villa, the fate of more than 20 years has ended, and the fate of the Xiao family villa has turned around, but Xiao Tian, he is really no longer a disciple of the Xiao family villa, and Xiao Tian's former ideal has come to an imperfect end...... (To be continued......)
