Peach Blossom Dyeing Jinge

A long time ago, there was a pair of good brothers in Sanping Village.

They are not real siblings, they even have different surnames, one is the eldest son of the Ni family, and the other is Saburo of the Jing family, but this does not prevent them from staying together every day.

They looked at the clouds in the sky, and met to travel together in the rivers and lakes. They used branches as swords in the grass by the spring, and did some silly things that made people laugh.There is always a girl by their side, she is the only daughter of the Lin family, named Shanshan, whenever they are silly, Shanshan will watch from the sidelines, giggling, trembling with her slender shoulders and long eyelashes , like flowering branches budding in early spring.

It was a carefree time, and the cicadas in summer seemed to last forever.

Finally, the two brothers reached the age of grown-ups, their body bones were elongated like bamboo joints, and their voices became deeper and deeper. They were no longer satisfied with the competition by the stream, so they joined the martial arts family to learn swordsmanship.Gradually, Jing Sanlang's talent fell behind that of his eldest brother, who seemed to be born for sword dancing, and the male and female willow-leaf swords in his hands were swift and deadly like golden snakes coming out of their holes.

In the end, his eldest brother won the sword manual taught by his master, and also won Lin Shanshan's heart.

Jing Sanlang was unwilling, but he had nothing to do, so he could only leave sadly and go far away.

Nine years ago, the news of the crown prince's death shocked the whole country of Yu, and the ban on martial arts swept across China like a cold wind, and even the remote Minyue land was not spared.

Jing Sanlang got the news in a foreign land that his eldest brother was discovered by the government because of hiding the sword manual of willow-leaf male and female swords, and he was imprisoned for three years.

According to the law of the Prohibition of Martial Arts, all warriors who break the precepts will be imprisoned in the ice cellar, and their blood will be attacked with extreme cold punishment. In the long and severe cold, no matter how deep the cultivation base is, it will be exhausted day by day, and the tortured will either die or be disabled.Brother Ni suffered for three years, and was lucky enough to save his life, but his internal strength cultivation had been completely lost, and he was like a useless person after he was released from prison.

Jing Saburo's life is not easy, his wife died early in the homeless, leaving only him and his only daughter.

Like him, there are many warriors in this world who have lost their swords and destroyed their homes, and can only drift like duckweed.

Two years ago, Jing Sanlang heard the news of his eldest brother's death, and finally returned to his hometown to meet Lin Shanshan, who was already a widow of the Ni family.

The old love in the past made him eager to show his hospitality, and he remarried Madam Ni as his wife regardless.

But Mrs. Ni was not grateful to him, she was still depressed and thinner day by day. Since the death of her eldest brother, she often sat on the hillside by the river for a whole day. She said to him, "Sanlang, do you still remember that the two of you used to like to dance swords here the most. I just need to close my eyes to remember every move of the elder brother."

"Sanlang, it would be great if we could go back to the past."

However, the river under your feet will never flow backwards, just like the past time.The sword manual has been destroyed by the government, and there is no possibility of reappearing in this world. Jing Sanlang gradually believes that he will never be able to win back Shanshan's heart no matter what.

Until he heard the name - Fuyao Qingfeng.

It is a kind of elixir, for people who practice martial arts to take, as long as they take it, it can draw out all the breath in the limbs and bones, which is enough to bypass the long practice, and get great improvement overnight, like a big roc spreading its wings, soaring upwards , ride on the wind.

At the same time, the medicine is also extremely dangerous. If you can't successfully cultivate the soul, you will suffer backlash, bleeding from the seven orifices, and die suddenly.

It was an evil medicine refined by the Demon Cult using the techniques of witchcraft in the northern Xinjiang. It deviated from the scriptures and was strictly prohibited by the imperial court.

It was originally a poppy growing in the mud, but in Jing Saburo's eyes, it was the only life-saving straw.He had no money, so he invested the only property of the Ni family in the casino. He did not hesitate to pay any price, just in exchange for an elusive hope.

Finally, he caught the whereabouts of the drug dealer. It was a masked man, his face was covered under a gray mask, and his breath was as cold as the night.

The man laughed at him and said, "Aren't you a fool? Your eldest brother once bought Fuyao Qingfeng. In order to leave the treasure to his son, he also bought the strongest box in the world."

He returned to the Ni family's house as if waking up from a dream, and finally found the box in the thick dust.

……

"This is all I found out." Chen Butou explained to the two masters and apprentices, "Before the promulgation of the ban on martial arts, Master Ni also regarded Ni Yan as his successor and taught him swordsmanship. It was prepared for him, so I kept it from Mrs. Ni."

Lu Dongqing frowned and said, "But Yan'er never thought of becoming a hero, he just wanted to live an ordinary life with his family."

Chen Butou sighed: "What's the use of his wish? The Ni family's life has been ruined since nine years ago."

Lu Dongqing was speechless and could only stare at the dark coffin in a daze.

After the turmoil last night, two more coffins were added to the Ni family's yard.

Mrs. Ni stood at the gate of the courtyard, leaning on the edge of the door, cast her eyes into the distance, and silently recited Ni Yan's name.

Her mind is not clear anymore, her mind has returned to nine years ago, and she is still waiting for her youngest son to return from outside and return to her lap to share the family relationship.

Grandma confessed to her lies. She was not in the courtyard at the time, but was cleaning the dormitory. She overheard the conversation between Jing Sanlang and Ni Yan. The shady "financial source" told Mrs. Ni that Ni Yan had no way out, so she simply fought to the death.

After Jing Sanlang found out that Ni Yan was poisoned, he lost his position on the spot and hurriedly begged his grandmother to conceal the truth for him.

At this point, Catcher Chen didn't blame Grandma for her lies. She was loyal to the Ni family, but she wanted to protect Mrs. Ni's fragile mind.

The weight of the truth is not something everyone can bear.

The blood-stained male and female swords lie in the coffin, side by side with the dead, waiting to be buried forever in the loess.

Chen Butou closed the coffin lid and sighed: "Unfortunately, no one will know about such superb swordsmanship from now on."

"I don't think so." Lu Zhengqiu interjected.

Chen Butou raised his eyebrows and cast doubtful eyes on him.

Lu Zhengqiu continued: "Last night at the Snake King Temple, you tried to prevent Jing Saburo from committing suicide. Your attitude was completely different from usual. Are you also in his story?"

Chen Butou was stunned for a long time before he said: "Oh, I really can't hide it from you. Before I became a Butou, I, Chen Dousheng, had a dream of going around the rivers and lakes with a sword, and I was also a disciple of the Liu family."

Lu Dongqing was very surprised: "So, are Master Ni and Jing Sanlang both your fellow apprentices?"

Chen Butou nodded and said: "I am the youngest disciple of my generation, and they are all my senior brothers. The reason why I joined the yamen, endured all kinds of humiliation, and climbed up to the position of Butou by any means is to get senior brother out of prison. Let it out. Still, it's too late, too late."

Lu Dongqing was dumbfounded. It turned out that the reason why Master Ni was released from prison after three years was all thanks to the arrester in front of him.

He has tried his best, but still can't restore the tragedy of the Ni family.

Seeing that he was silent, Lu Dongqing comforted him and said, "Brother Chen, this is not your fault."

Chen Dousheng looked up to the sky and sighed: "But whose fault is it?"

No one could answer his question.If there are still gods living in the distant sky, they are just silent, and the same sunset is sprinkled on the earth day after day.

Chen Dousheng stood still for a while, then turned to Lu Dongqing and said, "I am grateful for the help of the two of you this time, but I also have something to say. I have seen the skills of the two of you. I know that you are by no means ordinary people. Nine years ago, you You must have your own reasons for coming to Sanping Village."

"I..." Lu Dongqing froze in place.

Chen Dousheng said: "You don't need to tell me, but when this case gets out, everyone's mouth is worth a fortune. Sooner or later, trouble will come to you."

Lu Zhengqiu replied instead of his apprentice: "We naturally understand these principles."

Chen Dousheng was silent for a moment, and then said again: "I have a plan to satisfy both needs. Would you two be willing to work under me? The three people involved have been dismissed by me, and they have been convicted. A well-timed move that will never arouse suspicion."

Lu Dongqing was slightly taken aback, then quickly shook her head and said, "Thank you, Big Brother Chen, for your kindness, and forgive us for not following orders."

Chen Dousheng smiled wryly and said: "Actually, I have already expected your answer. Since this is the case, I advise you two to leave this place as soon as possible. With my status alone, I'm afraid I can't protect you well."

"I understand." Lu Dongqing nodded.

Looking at each other, Chen Dousheng took the lead and said: "Everything is over, I will take my leave first." After speaking, he turned and walked outside the courtyard gate.

Lu Dongqing suddenly chased a few steps forward, and said to his back: "Brother Chen, thank you, see you in Jianghu someday!"

Chen Dousheng didn't look back, but just raised one arm and waved it:

"Jianghu is not that Jianghu anymore, it is best not to see each other again."
