Three days later, the moon hung high, a few sparse stars dotted the endless night sky, the wind gently swept across the yard, the leaves rustled in the yard, and the insects in the grass squeaked.

In the pharmacy where Xiong Wei bathed, the candlelight shone brightly on everyone's face.

"Although the virtuous nephew has been slowly recovering his body, he still can't practice recently, so he has to recuperate for a while. Otherwise, the veins will break. Li Jianyuan told Xiong Wei again.

"This time I was able to get out of danger in time and not die, I really have to thank my uncle. ”

Xiaoyaozi looked at Xiong Wei who was soaking in the medicinal soup, and said gratefully: "Yes, if it weren't for Brother Jianyuan, our two masters and apprentices would probably have been on Huangquan Road." ”

"I'm just doing my best, if it weren't for my virtuous nephew to get the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, I would be the reincarnation of Hua Tuo, and it would be difficult to save Engong. ”

"Where, where. Xiong Wei saw Li Jianyuan praising himself like this, his face was red, and he scratched his head embarrassedly.

"That's right. Virtuous nephew, Wei Zhongxian's mansion is as good as a cloud, didn't you miss that night? Later, where did you get this thousand-year-old Lingzhi?"

Xiong Wei looked at Xiaoyaozi, who couldn't lie, he thought for a long time before he spit out three words: "Young Master Yun." ”

"Young Master Yun, how could it be her?" Li Jianyuan was very surprised when he heard the words Young Master Yun, "The Young Master Yun you are talking about is not a woman dressed as a man." Why? You really did fight. ”

"Yes. Her name is Xia Yun, and we fought in Wei Zhongxian's mansion. ”

Xiong Wei talked about the experience of knowing Xia Yun and the fight in Wei Zhongxian's mansion, as well as getting the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum in Huamanlou.

"How can she help you?" Li Jianyuan was puzzled, "She is Wei Zhongxian's goddaughter. The martial arts are very high, and he is ruthless in doing things, and he is ruthless. ”

When Xiaoyaozi heard Li Jianyuan's words, he felt that although many years had passed, it had not ended, and he began to worry about the safety of the Li Mansion.

I haven't seen Li Shizhen since I came to the Li Mansion, and I have been lying in bed in a daze for the past few days, so I haven't asked too much. Now he struggled to his feet, pressing his hand on the injured part. said: "There is no need for Hua Tuo to be alive. My father's medical skills are comparable to Hua Tuo. I haven't seen you for so many years, I don't know if Ling Zun is good?"

Li Jianyuan didn't answer quickly, and only said after a while: "Don't hide it from your father, my father has already gone west many years ago. ”

"Oh, is it still because of that incident?" Xiaoyaozi looked at Li Jianyuan suspiciously, "Could it be that those people are still pestering?"

Li Jianyuan nodded, shook his head again, and said, "When my father died, all the secrets were gone. Those people are no longer looking for trouble. ”

Xiaoyaozi looked at Li Jianyuan, and both of them silently did not speak.

"What's the matter?" Xiong Wei couldn't help but ask when he saw their strange expressions.

Xiaoyaozi, who was silent for a while, said: "After that incident, I haven't seen Ling Zun again. It's seventeen or eighteen years, and I can't imagine ......."

Xiaoyaozi looked at Li Jianyuan and sighed deeply: "You have always called me Engong, but in fact, your father is my Engong." Ling Zun is the most respectable person I have met in my life. ”

Li Jianyuan also sighed and said, "If Jianyuan's family hadn't been saved by Engong, they would have gone with their father." Especially Xiao'er Cheng'en, if it weren't for Engong's desperate rescue and rescue from the killer, the child would have been dead for a long time, and the old father had always kept the child in mind when he was alive. ”

This is also Mr. Li's rescue first, which really fulfills the sentence: good is rewarded with good, and evil is evil and good. ”

When Xiaoyaozi heard the news of Li Shizhen's death, he felt a faint pain in his heart, and couldn't help covering his chest. "I've been a killer for half my life, and I haven't lived to understand. If it weren't for Ling Zun's words, I don't know what the point of living is right now. ”

Saying that, Xiaoyaozi glanced at Xiong Wei and said, "Sometimes, I don't live as well as you. ”

"Master, you haven't told me how you got to know Mr. Li's family. Xiong Wei was a little confused, "You haven't told me that story yet." ”

"Alas!" Xiaoyaozi recalled a lot of the past, and he didn't know where to start.

"Back then, I was given a task to kill a child. ”

Xiaoyaozi thinks back to that night many years ago.

It was late at night many years ago, Xiaoyaozi walked alone on the stone bridge on the outskirts of Beijing, wandering......

Being a killer has a habitual thinking, and if you don't have the appointed hour, there may be traps. Xiaoyaozi had not seen the buyer at the appointed hour, and was about to leave when a team of people came. The leader threw him a pack of silver tickets and a portrait ......"

There is also a line of words after the portrait: Kill someone!

"Isn't this looking for your own death?" Xiong Wei asked puzzled, "Master, did you kill the person who came?"

"Hmm. My sword is fast. ”

"Why don't you open it and see what task he gave you?"

Xiaoyaozi continued to explain to Xiong Wei.

In the killer industry, the most basic rule is to keep secrets. He himself didn't know that the person he was going to kill was himself, and such a thing was quite normal. In order for his secret not to be known to anyone, the seller is going to kill the person who deals with the killer. As for why he killed, the killer will never know.

"Master, then why don't you ask?" Xiong Wei originally wanted to ask, if you killed the person who came, what if you didn't kill the person who should have been killed?

Before he could open his question, Xiaoyaozi continued.

Every killer kills people with his own rules.

Xiaoyaozi has always killed people, regardless of identity, only looking at the portrait, only looking at whether he is willing or not.

Xiaoyaozi stood up, looked a little distant and said: "If you are willing, although the price given is not necessarily as high as mine, I will also kill; ”

"I have always wandered the rivers and lakes, and I am known as Xiaoyaozi. ”

"After killing the incoming person, I found out that there was another portrait of a newborn baby. Although I don't know who this buyer is, from the silver ticket he gave, I can infer that it must be a person of great stature. ”

"Killers don't ask about the motive for killing. It doesn't matter who the other person is. ”

"All I know is that it's a child, who is this child, why he killed it, the killer can't ask. ”

"This kid has changed hands a few times and has grown up. ”

"I only know that when the child was born, it was taken away by an old man who was collecting medicine in the mountains. ”

"This old man returned to live in Jingchu with his child in his arms, and I found him. ”

"I caught up with the child, who was eight years old at the time. ”

"Eight years old?" Xiong Wei remembered the cliché and tragic story of revenge, "Master, is this child you are talking about the same child that the beautiful widow carried?"

"It's not. Xiaoyaozi replied.

"Isn't it?" Although Xiong Wei had a lot of questions in his heart, he still didn't continue to ask, he blinked, and listened carefully to Xiaoyaozi's words.

"Killing an eight-year-old child is not difficult for a killer. The task is that everyone who comes into contact with this child must die. ”

"Even myself have to die. However, it was not known at the time. Xiaoyaozi added, "I don't know that if I kill this child, I will have to die." ”

"All I need is a sword, and the child will die. ”

"When I stab my sword at a child......"

Xiaoyaozi stopped and did not continue to tell the story of the child.

"However, in the end, you were merciful. Li Jianyuan interrupted Xiaoyaozi's words.

"Nope!" said Xiaoyaozi.

"I didn't show mercy. ”

"Before that, I had killed a lot of people, and I had killed anyone who knew about it. ”

"Back then, when you arrived at Jingchu, your whole family was preparing to escape. I'm holding back your old father. Your father seems to have known who I am, and what I'm here for, in the face of my sword, which has killed countless people's blood. Your father was not afraid, and he said that he had a wish that could be fulfilled and that I would help him fulfill it after his death. ”

"What a wish!" Xiong Wei couldn't bear his impatience, and the master's tone of voice was very slow.

Xiaoyaozi glared at Xiong Wei and continued: "He gave me his "Compendium of Materia Medica" and "Eight Veins of the Strange Classics" and asked me to stay, saying that this is a good book and I will use it in the future. I opened it and looked at it casually, and I was very amazed, the person who can write such an accomplished book is really an annoying person in the world, and I really admire your father. ”

"Even though I got the book, I still can't forget my duty as a killer. When I put the sword around your father's neck, my old illness returned. That was the sequelae left after the failure to assassinate the head of Wudang. Instead of taking advantage of the danger, your father healed me. Speaking of which, I'm so ashamed!"

"When I woke up, I asked your father, I want to kill you, why do you want to save me, and your father said, I am a doctor, and my duty is to save people. ”

"I said, after you saved me, you are not afraid that I will kill you. ”

"Your father said, 'Even if you want to kill me after I save you, I'm going to save you!' I didn't understand at the time.

"I still remember what he said. ”

Xiaoyaozi recalled the plot at that time.

Li Shizhen slowly pulled out the silver needle from Xiaoyaozi's body, and said earnestly: "You kill people, I will save people." ”

"You kill, I save people. ”

Xiaoyaozi recalled such a simple sentence that Li Shizhen said, and it was such a simple sentence that made Xiaoyaozi change his rivers and lakes.

Xiaoyaozi continued to recall many of the things Li Shizhen had said.

"You have your mission, and I have my duty. What's more, you have promised me to carry forward my two books, so that you can save more people. Exchange my life for the lives of more people, and die without regrets. ”

My father never mentioned it. Li Jianyuan looked at Xiaoyaozi and said.

"If you had known that it was such a story, would you still save me?"

"Save, I will definitely save! This is my father's lifelong principle of life. Li Jianyuan said firmly, "My father always told me that you were a strange boy! ”

"What a healer's heart. ”

Li Jianyuan recalled some things back then.

"Afterwards, I heard my mother talk about this, and it is said that my father had resigned for many years. I don't know why, my father suddenly said that he and the court had something unclear about, and he was afraid that it would affect the family. ”

When my father returned, he hurriedly told my mother to pack up her things and leave immediately. But I didn't know exactly why, and I didn't dare to ask. ”

Xiaoyaozi looked at Li Jianyuan and told him the incomplete story he knew.

"When I hunted down your father, I don't know why. Back then, I was ranked 10th in the ranking of killers on the rivers and lakes, not the first, but my remuneration was the highest. ”

"Why?" Xiong asked habitually as soon as he had a question.

"In the killer industry, everyone has their own rules for killers who can be on the ranking list. My rule for killing people is to ask for a portrait and not ask for anything. No matter whether this person's martial arts are above me or below me, if I take it, no matter what means I use, I will definitely kill him. ”

"Master, then I can't understand it like this, you won't kill people you like, and you will kill people who don't like you!" Xiong Wei said again.

Xiaoyaozi shook his head helplessly, in his eyes, Xiong Wei sometimes looked like a child who had not yet grown up.

"Your father saved me, and when I woke up, your father said to me, 'Kill me, an old man, and let this child go. I was moved by your father. It's the only time in my life that I've shown mercy. Since then, I have been wandering the rivers and lakes. ”

"Master, it's not right, it's not right, you were merciful to your subordinates on another occasion. ”

Xiaoyaozi frowned and looked at Xiong Wei.

Xiong Wei hurriedly said proudly: "You didn't kill me either!"

Xiaoyaozi glared at Xiong Wei and said, "It's not my task to kill you, but if you want to die, I know you in minutes!"

Xiong Wei immediately lowered his head in silence.
