Zhou Jianlai lay on the bluestone with his hands on his pillow, looking at the stars gradually appearing in the night sky, and told Ye Wuyou the history of Su Hanlin's revolution.
"The duel between Master and your ancestor of the Ye family was a fair duel between sword cultivators and sword cultivators. Both of them were seriously injured, and they fought evenly. Master's eyes and arms were injured in that battle."
"However, if you insist that the death of your ancestor of the Ye family is related to your master, it is irrefutable, because your ancestor of the Ye family was seriously injured in that battle, and then he was injured when he faced the strong men of the empire and the Qin family, and finally died in the battle.
.”
"Master felt guilty about this, so he went to Shenjian City in person and sat in the city. In the eyes of some people, Master's move was to suppress the Ye family and prevent them from raising a flag to rebel. But in the eyes of people who understand, they know that Master is
We are protecting the Ye family in disguise, because without Master's protection, the Ye family will inevitably be wiped out by the empire or their enemies."
"However, the Qin family still held a grudge against Ye Shengzu for stealing the sword and could not let it go. They sneaked into the city and attacked the Ye family while the master was leaving Excalibur City. When the master learned the bad news and rushed back to Excalibur City, the Ye family had already
reduced to rubble.”
"You were put in a bamboo basket and hung in a well by your tribe. You narrowly escaped death. Later, your master found you and took you with him to raise you."
"The Qin family who attacked the Ye family were all killed by the master. He avenged the Ye family's unjust death and took back the thirty-three swords of the Ye family."
"The swords in your sword box are the swords of your Ye family. There are thirty-three swords in total."
"Master doesn't want you to live in hatred, and doesn't want you to bear the heavy history of blood and hatred. He wants you to grow up carefree, so he named you Wuyou."
"Actually, even if I don't tell you these things today, Master will tell you on the day of your adult ceremony."
"If you find it difficult to let go and hold a grudge against Master, just wait until you have successfully cultivated and draw your sword to take revenge. You can either come to Master or me. We will not blame you, as long as you come in an honest manner."
"Just like the sword in our hands, no matter what we do, whether right or wrong, we must be honest and face our own heart."
Some people want to plant haze and hatred in Ye Wuyou's heart. Zhou Jianlai simply doesn't hide anything from Ye Wuyou and tells him everything. Regardless of whether it can resolve the hatred in his heart, it can at least keep him alive.
You have to be clear about it and not be deceived and taken advantage of.
Ye Wuyou sat there with his arms around his knees and his chin between his knees, looking at the night ahead without saying a word.
Such a big thing had a great impact on him as a child.
After Zhou Jianlai finished speaking, he stopped talking, giving Ye Wuyou time to digest.
After a long time, Ye Wuyou suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had exhaled all the depression in his chest, and then said in a slightly hoarse voice: "That's it."
"Can you tell me what you think?" Zhou Jianlai asked.
"Master and I, the ancestor of the Ye family, are in a fair duel. It is a duel between men and men, between sword cultivators and sword cultivators. No matter who lives or dies, there will be no complaints."
"My master saved me and adopted me. My mistress taught me the principles of life. My master carefully taught me swordsmanship. Both my elders regarded me as their own. My master also helped my Ye family to avenge the destruction of my family. I will be grateful for the rest of my life. When I grow up,
I will definitely repay my parents for their kindness in raising me."
"Let him follow the wind for the rest."
Ye Wuyou replied.
After Zhou Jianlai heard this, he couldn't help but be startled. He didn't expect Ye Wuyou to say such words, and then he smiled and said: "This Liujia Village is really a good land, and people who grew up in this land all have a good heart.
Do you know that every time your second brother Niu and third brother Zhang were bullied badly, they would gnash their teeth and swear to destroy the whole family?
But when they gained the ability to destroy entire families, they had almost forgotten the hatred in their hearts. At most, they would just kill the few people who bullied them, and then let it go.
Because they all have a good field in their hearts and cannot sow the seeds of hatred.
So do you.
This is good, very good."
Zhou Jianlai sat up, reached out and patted Ye Wuyou on the shoulder, and said: "Don't let the hatred of the world blind your heart. This will make your swordsmanship sink into a swamp and never be able to pull it out. This world is very big, and there are countless people.
Wonderful things, sword fighting to the end of the world, eating meat, drinking wine, embracing beauties, and doing chivalry and justice. That is the most wonderful life of swordsmen like me."
"Yeah" Ye Wuyou nodded vigorously, attracted by the life described by Zhou Jianlai.
"Let me tell you another story."
"good."
"The Qin family has an extraordinary swordsman genius named Qin Xingjian. He has lived in a world of hatred created by his clan since he was a child... His sword is actually very powerful, but he is defeated by my sword every time.
Why? It's because his swordsmanship is bound by hatred."
"I advised him to let go more than once, but he just refused to listen. In fact, it doesn't matter even if he can't let go, but he must look directly at his heart and let his heart, whether it is hurt or miserable, bathe in the sunshine.
Instead of living in a dark corner, moldy and smelly."
"Understand?"
Zhou Jianlai treated Qin Xingjian as a negative teaching material and taught it to Ye Wuyou.
"Pitiful."
"I will never be like him."
Ye Wuyou took this as a warning.
Ah sneeze!
In a tavern in the county town, a black-robed man who was drinking suddenly sneezed.
If Ye Wuyou were here, he would recognize the black robe on this man. This is the old friend of the Ye family who secretly told him that Wei Ziyan was the enemy of the Ye family who destroyed the family, and asked him not to recognize the thief as his father.
"Would you like to hear Master's story?"
"think."
"If there is anyone in this world who has a deep hatred for the royal family, the Su family, then our master must be one of them."
"Ah, why? Isn't Master the Duke? He has made great military exploits for the Great Su Empire, and he is the Duke of Su Emperor." Ye Wuyou asked in surprise.
"Master is the prince of the former dynasty. It was the Su family that destroyed the empire of the previous dynasty. Do you think this hatred is deep?"
"Ah, this..." Ye Wuyou was stunned and stunned.
"Back then, the emperor of the previous dynasty was tyrannical in his administration, the people were in dire straits, and mourning was everywhere..."
Zhou Jianlai told Ye Wuyou a longer history, and finally asked: "You said that the master opened the gate of the imperial capital and let Su Hanlin enter the city, was it right or wrong?"
"This...I don't know." Ye Wuyou scratched his head.
"There is no right or wrong." Zhou Jianlai waved his hands and said, "This is a tragedy caused by the fierce collision between the new era and the old era. It is the rut left by the rolling wheels of history. The world cannot comment on whether it is right or wrong. In your words, it is
, let the past go with the wind."
"Yeah" Ye Wuyou nodded.
He understood that when Zhou Jian came to tell him this dusty past, he was telling him that the war between the empire and the Ye family was also a historical tragedy, rather than a personal grudge and hatred, and wanted him to look away and let go of the matter.
But he couldn't let it go all of a sudden. He always felt that it was the empire that forced his Ye family to exterminate.
"Tell me, if you keep this matter to yourself and don't tell anyone, and then that old friend of the Ye family keeps instilling dark thoughts into you, what will happen to you in the end?"
"Presumably that old friend of the Ye family should have given you countless instructions to keep this secret and not tell others, right?"
