8. Between brothers(2/2)
The smile on the witch's face became sweeter and more dangerous.
She said:
"I couldn't beat my brother back then, so I could only let him leave. Now I can't. He can't push me away anymore, I don't allow it! I haven't been idle for more than ten years."
The smiling face in front of me was like a flower, but under the bright sunlight, Ah Qing felt cold in his heart.
She suddenly felt that she had promised Shen Qiu to escort Zhang Lan to Miaojiang before, which was a bit careless. The witch in front of her was not visible and she could not see any water, but if she really fought, she might not be sure of winning.
"Stay one more night in the Temple of Gu Mother."
The witch put down her finger and said to Ah Qing:
"Before Zhang Chu left Miaojiang, little sister, please say a few more words with your sister. He called me aunt, after all, he had been calling me for more than ten years, so he always had to protect him."
“It’s actually not necessary.”
Ah Qing shrugged and said:
"Shen Qiu just asked me to teach Zhang Chu a lesson if I had the chance, but did not say that I would take his life. Also, the wife of Penglai received the invitation, right?"
"Um."
The lady nodded.
"But I have more important things to do, so I may not join in the fun. Of course, if my brother wants me to go, I will go there."
Let me add that I have been using the book-chasing app recently, [app] to read books, read offline!—
"I'm leaving now?"
In the afternoon of that day, near the evening, outside Phoenix City, on the edge of the mountain road.
Zhang Lan sat on a tree stump, holding a cat in his arms, and watching Zhang Chu who was slightly frustrated, playing with the black fan in his hand and greeted his brother.
Zhang Chu landed on the treetops on the other side, light when falling, allowing the treetops to move slightly.
He carried his hands on his back and looked at Zhang Lan below. There was light jumping in his strange-colored pupils. He said:
"What? Are you going to show off to me? Or is my younger brother promising and want to kill his brother in this wilderness?
You have chosen this place well. It’s so remote that you can kill someone and bury it easily. What has Shen Qiu taught you over the years?"
"I'm not your opponent."
Zhang Lan said frankly:
"That sacred fire burned all your lifeline and forced you to advance a state that I could not get involved. This will start fighting, and I am afraid you will be pressed to the ground and beaten.
I'm not in the mood to find a fight myself.
However, Xuanyu and I are going to get married in seven days. As the eldest brother, don’t you stay and participate?”
“Military affairs are busy and there is no time.”
Zhang Chu said in a cold tone, which made a hint of anger flash across Zhang Lan's face.
He stood up and shouted:
"You're just a bastard, do you know? You obviously don't have to go this far, and now you have to make yourself look like you are not a human being, not a ghost!
Xuanyu told me that the wife left a strange pot, which can refine your entire body's strength into essence, strengthen your foundation and replenish all the life you consume.
Now let me go and let the Xuanyu give you a gull."
Hearing this, Zhang Chu immediately expressed that he slowly touched his restored lips and said meaningfully:
"What about the price? Brother."
"All the power is lost and turned into ordinary people, and then I will stay in Miaojiang, without any disputes or grudges in the world."
Zhang Lan said:
"If you don't want to stay here, I will send you back to the Great Snow Mountain or to the Western Regions. As long as I am here for one day, you will not have any worries about your life. Find a woman, get married and have children, and continue the blood of the Zhang family."
"You want me to have nothing?"
Zhang Chu asked back:
"You treat your brother as a fool?"
"You have everything you have, you have thrown it away!"
Zhang Lan's tone was even more fierce and said:
"You have had great ambitions since you were a child. You want your father to recognize you and make you proud of you, but you never thought that all the things you did were really what your father wanted to see?
Has he ever told you in person that he hopes you and me will do something big?
When your mother died, you were already sensible. Did your mother tell you that she had accomplished a great achievement?
No!
My parents have never said that, it is what you think so yourself, and what you are pursuing is not for your father at all, it is purely for yourself.
Zhang Chu, you are just a selfish ghost.
When you squander your life, have you ever thought about us? Uncle Beihan is like that, and he is willing to sacrifice himself as a slave, just asking Qingqing to let you go. Wuming broke his hand and almost died in Lin'an!
It's just because you forced him to make a choice, even so, the child never blamed you.
Zhang Chu!
Don’t make mistakes. Those of us who care about you will be pushed away one by one. If this continues, you will kill yourself!"
"It's already here, it's impossible to let me give up!"
Zhang Chu said coldly:
"Besides, I didn't ask you to save me."
"You just don't understand people's hearts."
Zhang Lan was extremely disappointed. He sighed and said:
"Do you know why you can't figure out what your aunt is thinking? Why can't you notice what I can detect? Zhang Chu, you have never cared about other people's thoughts at all.
If you know the warmth and coldness of people's hearts, you will not let Wuming kill Qingqing.
If you have experienced love on earth, you will not destroy the last chance of the northern country to conquer the world.
Zhang Chu, it’s not that we defeated you, but that you defeated yourself, those things in the world that you don’t see and disdain, have never experienced before, and have never thought about experiencing them in the past.
That is your biggest weakness.
I don't know what you're going crazy.
But you are proud of loneliness.
There is no place for anyone else in your heart except yourself.”
"Swish"
Something was thrown to Zhang Chu, and the latter took it into his hand and found it was a book. He took a look and his pupils widened at this moment.
"I asked for it from Shen Qiu."
Zhang Lan held the cat and turned to Phoenix City. He said without looking back:
"If you don't want to give up your 'big ambition', then practice it. Use the five elements to be born together. You can save your life after practicing. Don't worry, there is no problem with the exercises."
"Bang"
The peerless martial arts of the Wangchuan Sect were thrown back the next moment and were hitting the ground behind Zhang Lan. Zhang Chu's figure flew towards the other side, leaving only his last voice here.
"I don't need it. I don't want Chen Qiu to laugh at me, nor do I need his pity. I won't look back, nor do I want to look back. The Zhang family inheritance is enough."
