21. Jianghu Affair(1/2)
"Huiyin, where are you going?"
On the south bank of Caishiji, in the Jianghu camp, Lin Huiyin sneaked in a hat and grabbed Xiaoxiang's Echo Sword, trying to sneak out of the room.
But as soon as I took a few steps, I heard a deserted voice coming from behind.
Lin Huiyin was shocked and hurriedly stood up straight.
It's like a child who does bad things has been discovered by his elders.
She held the hat in her hand and lowered her head, while Lin Wandong, who was wearing a veil, walked out from the other side of the house step by step.
This camp was the camp of the previous Southern Dynasties defenders. It was strong and sturdy, but it was not comfortable at all. Lin Wandong was a senior in the Jianghu, and his place to live was only larger than that of ordinary Jianghu tourists.
Fortunately, the children in the world are not careful about the details, and at this critical moment, no one is clamoring to live in a good house.
"Go to find Chen Qiu again?"
Lin Wandong sat on a chair in the room and looked at her disciple. Her voice was clear and gentle, and she was really a girlish voice. Moreover, the head of the sect was in her thirties and was just as mature as she was.
Her pretty and charming appearance, coupled with this young voice, made Lin Wandong not only famous for her high swordsmanship, but also a famous beautiful female hero in the previous generation.
It is said that when the master was young, there were many masters who came to propose marriage, and there were also many great sects.
However, the master devoted himself to the reconstruction of the Sword Sect and did not care about these external things at all.
"Why don't you talk?"
Lin Wandong asked a few questions, but Lin Huiyin did not answer. The silence made the leader a little dissatisfied. She put down the teacup in her hand, and said to her personal disciple who was like her daughter:
"In the mountain gate, our master and disciple have agreed that you will not be able to have a lot of connection with Chen Qiugu during this trip. Only as a teacher, can you come with you.
But look at your past few days, you will meet Chen Qiu every day...
Huiyin, you have always been successful, and your teacher can't bear to scold you, but Chen Qiu already has a family. No matter how outstanding or good he is, you can't allow you to develop with him any further."
"Master, there's no such thing."
Seeing that the master was a little angry, Lin Huiyin hurriedly explained:
"He only learned martial arts with Chen Qiu. He was very knowledgeable. He was not only proficient in swordsmanship, fist and palms, but also had an understanding of Ti Zong. Although he was not skilled in swordsmanship, he often had unique sword moves.
After the competition in the past few days, my disciple has gained more insights into swordsmanship."
She raised her head and looked at Lin Wandong's eyes. The eye contact made Lin Huiyin look like a frightened rabbit. She hurriedly lowered her head. She grabbed the sword in her hand and said to her master:
"Anyway, there is no feeling between me now, and it is impossible for me to be as my master thought."
"A disciple, although the master has never married in his life, he is not aware of this love affairs between men and women."
Lin Wandong sighed, she waved and asked Lin Huiyin to sit beside her.
She reached out and held Lin Huiyin's finger and said:
"You said this, but how can you not know what you think in your heart?
He was in Luoyang and had fought with Shen Qiu. He was chivalrous and fearless, and dared to lead a hundred people to fight with tens of thousands of people in the northern invaders.
His martial arts are very rapid, and even the leader valued him. I heard that the leader awarded him the Liangyi Divine Fist, which seemed to be cultivated by Chen Qiu as a direct disciple.
If my disciple is lucky, you will be happy to be a teacher between you and Chen Qiu.
pity..."
Lin Wandong thought of what Chong and Taoist priest said to her that day in Luoyang, and she also smiled bitterly on her face and said to the disciple who loved her very much:
"It's a pity that the teacher is not arguing. He said the wrong thing that day, which probably caused Chen Qiu to be dissatisfied. As a few days later, he heard the news that Chen Qiu and Miss Yaoqin got engaged.
That girl Yaoqin has a rough life experience, and I can't tell you more about the details.
Chen Qiu married her to save her life and inherited the cause and effect in her. It was a chivalrous thing, but it only made my disciple unrequited love.
Alas, things in the world are messing with people.”
“Master doesn’t have to do this.”
Lin Huiyin's tone was also a little lower. She forced herself to cheer up and said to her master:
"It's just a fate but no separation.
I have made up my mind, just like my master, never marry forever. When I go back to Xiaoxiang this time, I practice martial arts with all my heart. If I can make a breakthrough in the future, I can also let my Xiaoxiang Sword Gate repeat the past power.
Over the years, my master has been worried about the development of Jianmen, and I don’t want to make my master worry about me any longer.”
Lin Wandong felt very relieved after these words.
She smiled and said to Lin Huiyin:
"My Huiyin is indeed sensible.
But my master has been suffering all his life, so how could he see my disciple being lonely? When he went back this time, he took advantage of his disciple's chance to take over as the leader and chose a hero from the world.
I also book a good marriage for my disciple and let my disciple spend his life happily."
Lin Wandong held Lin Huiyin's hand tightly, and she emphasized tone:
"It's just a disciple, I have to control myself!
Although it is common for a good man to have three wives and four concubines, my disciple is the future head of Xiaoxiang Jianshe and a famous knight in the world. I know that you and Shen Qiu are inseparable from each other and must not get caught in it anymore.
In your life, you must not be a concubine, nor do you want to be a slander yourself. Can you tell me?”
Lin Wandong's words were like her mother's instructions to her ignorant daughter.
But Lin Huiyin is also an uninformed virgin. Suddenly, her master talked about such a profound topic, which made her feel in chaos for a while.
I could only nod.
She is also a decisive person. She told Chen Qiu that day that day that she was just a friend, and that was just a friend!
The master still needs himself, and he cannot ignore the master's kindness of raising him. After the eldest brother left, he had to support the sword gate to make the master more relaxed.
"Master, I have something unknown in my heart."
For more than half a year, Lin Wandong was walking outside, and Lin Huiyin was in seclusion and practicing hard in the master's sect. The two masters and disciples rarely had such a chance to talk to each other. Seeing the warmth of the talk, Lin Huiyin could no longer hold back the doubts in her heart.
She asked in a low voice:
"Master, where did you learn this Xue Ji mental method? Is it... Zhang Mo cult you?"
Lin Wandong's face changed suddenly.
It seemed that the name was the taboo in her heart. She looked at Lin Huiyin and asked coldly:
"You, disciple, where did you hear it?"
"Master, don't worry."
Lin Huiyin told her conversation with Chen Qiu in Suzhou. After hearing that Chen Qiu was also taught by Zhang Mo to Xue Ji's mind method, Lin Wandong's seriousness dissipated.
She leaned against the chair, breathing heavily, as if she remembered the events of that year. She was silent for a long time before she said to her disciple:
"Yes, this Xue Ji Xin Method is indeed from the Zhang Mo Cult."
"Master!"
Lin Huiyin was so shocked that she stood up immediately. She looked at her master suspiciously, her eyes full of shock.
Could it be that Master and Zhang Moye really have...
"Don't think about it!"
When Lin Wandong saw Lin Huiyin's expression change, she knew what her disciple was thinking. She sighed and said to Lin Huiyin:
“It was a total coincidence.
Back then, Zhang Moye entered Dongting at night because of an innocent Changsha lawsuit between Jianmen in Xiaoxiang and killed all the elders and sects of Jianmen overnight. You know this.
The reason why my Jianmen declined was because of that disaster.
But my teacher didn't tell you what happened next."
Master Lin glanced at the Xiaoxiang Echo Sword in the disciple's hand, and she said in a stern voice:
"After that night, the originally prosperous sword gate collapsed, the entire hall was soaked in blood, the elders in the sect died overnight, the disciples were driven away by the Demon Cult. In the huge mountain gate, only I and a dozen disciples were still standing.
Back then, like you, I was an inner disciple. I was angry, so I took the Xiaoxiang Echo Sword back from the pool of blood and went alone to assassinate Zhang Moye.
But I'm too weak..."
Lin Wandong looked painful, clenched her fists, and said in a sad tone:
"I tried my best, but I couldn't even break Zhang Moye's protective energy.
He didn't take my life, just like playing, letting me follow him, from Xiaoxiang, to Guangxi, from Guangxi, to Miaojiang, from Miaojiang, and back to Xiaoxiang.
I assassinated him thirty-seven times, without any success.
He said that I already have my inner demons, and if I let them go, it will definitely cause disaster in the world, so I will destroy my martial arts. At that time, my lucky childhood friend came to help and saved me from the leader of the Demon Sect.
That Xue Ji mental method was also what Zhang Moye threw to me after easily knocking down the two of me, just like giving alms."
Lin Wandong's girlish voice became hoarse at this moment.
She said:
"He told me that if I want to take revenge, I have to practice martial arts first. Xueji's mind method can calm my mind and eliminate my inner demons. He also said that when my martial arts are strong, I will ask me to challenge again.
Unfortunately, it’s a pity that your master is limited in talent and a little... In short, after practicing for so many years, I have only been on the martial arts list.
To be continued...
