wash sword

?I don't want Zhanlu Sword, and I don't want revenge! "

"Evil! How could I have a son like you."

"I'm not a swordsman at all, I never want to learn swords, and I don't want to kill people!"

"But you can't escape the fate of the Shen family! If you don't take revenge, how can you face the spirit of the former king!"

"Revenge? What is hatred? Even if I can kill the traitors who killed the former king, will Yu Shan be resurrected? Will Dongyue be revived? Can the sister who died for the sword rest in peace!"

"Shut up!" Father slapped Shen Wan heavily on the face, Shen Wan's tearful face was distorted by pain, hatred and anger, and it kept twitching against the backdrop of the endless flames in the stove.The father lifted Shen Xuan up again, facing the sword casting furnace, Shen Xuan wept loudly, his voice piercing his heart...

six.

"stop."

When the sword casting stove was burning brightly, a woman's feet finally stepped out from the dense forest, and under the gaze of everyone, she rushed towards the stove at high speed. He stopped her, but only tore off a strand of ice, and the woman jumped into the blazing fire in an instant, turning into bright, blue, and cold sparks, splashing everywhere, and it was hard to tell whether it was blood or water. Still tears.

Shen Wan's world stopped at that moment.

Some voices echoed in his ears, some voices from memory:

"How long can the goodness in this world last? Flowers are perishable, and people are perishable."

"Listen to the wind, listen to the rain, and the Qingming Festival. Who will cherish the fragrance and the jade?"

"What kind of 'princess' is there, and what kind of 'royal family' is there? It seems that the ground is full of remnants of flowers, and the prosperity is gone."

Shen Wan's bone marrow was pierced by these icy voices, and when he came back to his senses, he opened his arms and let out a cry that pierced the sky - "Si Rui!"

The walls of the entire wooden house collapsed in all directions, the roof also fell down, and everyone ran out of the house, leaving only Shen Wan kneeling on the spot, with demon-like anger condensed in his eyes, looking at everyone angrily.

"Shen Wan, don't be impulsive!" His father shouted to him.

"Shen Wan! Good and evil are always in a single thought, and the difference between attaining the Tao and becoming a demon is also in an instant, so don't be caught in a hurry!" the old man shouted to him.

But Shen Wan was unmoved in the slightest, and pulled out the new sword from the sword-forging furnace, and slashed straight in front of him. A blood-stained sword aura rushed out of the house in an instant, and the old man rushed forward to catch the sword aura. , but still lost to its sharpness, and was bounced away together with everyone.

"This is the sword you want me to forge." Shen Wan let out a long roar, but suddenly fell to the ground leaning on the sword, only relying on the sword to support his swaying body.The bloody light exuded from the sword, reflecting the entire ruins.

"Shen Wan, Shen Wan. Can you hear me?"

"Si Rui? Where are you? Tell me!"

"Now I only have a little soul left, and when the blood light disperses, my soul will fly away."

"Why! Why did you jump into the sword casting pool! Why!"

"I don't want to see people from the Shen family die for the royal family. The Shen family has not failed the royal family, it is the royal family who have let the Shen family down."

"Why? I still don't understand!"

"I escaped from the palace this morning and saw your father welcoming an old man by the sea, so I knew this was the most important day in your life."

"My hit...?"

"The Shen family promised to the queen mother that they would send you off the island that year. Afterwards, the whole family will apologize with death to comfort the spirit of the former king."

"The whole family apologizes with death?"

"Shen Wan, your father concealed everything for you. The entire Shen family was ordered to die by the royal family, but he still wanted to train you to be a swordsman to avenge Dongyue."

"what?"

Shen Wan immediately turned her gaze to her father, and the father who got up from the ground also looked at him, silent.

"I knew that once today was over, I would not be able to see you again, so I escaped from the carved cart of my mother. I didn't expect that after just a short while, I became a soul."

"Si Rui, why are you bothering?"

"I don't want to see ordinary people sacrifice for the royal family anymore. There is nothing wrong with the Shen family. The Dongyue Dynasty is also withered, just like the pistil flowers fall, there is nothing left. What royal family is there?"

Shen Wan watched sadly as the light of blood slowly dissipated in the air, her body trembling uncontrollably.

"Shen Wan, I don't have time. Your sister is very cute, take good care of her. By the way, do you remember what I told you before, no matter what, you have to let it go?"

"Si Rui, wait! I..."

In the blink of an eye, the blood light ceased to exist, and Si Rui turned into a bloodstain, which penetrated into Shen Wan's sword forever, and never made a sound.On the ground, there remained a wisp of icicle that was torn off by Shen Wan when Si Rui jumped into the sword casting furnace.

"Father, is what she said true?"

The madness in Shen Wan's eyes faded slightly, and she walked towards her father from the stone steps.

"Shen Wan, father is sorry for keeping you a secret for the rest of his life."

"Why did the royal family give death to the Shen family? Why did I leave this isolated island?"

"At that time, the former king Yu Shan was killed by Youjun Jugu and Jiancheng Hou Aobian in that Yao country. The sword in his hand was forged by the Shen family. The former king failed to break through and died suddenly. The Shen family could not escape death. "

"What is the connection between Yu Shan's death and our sword-making clan? How ridiculous!"

"The former king especially loved the sword forged by the Shen family. How ridiculous is it for the Shen family to repay the kindness of the king with death! Besides, the queen was worried that the Shen family would have no descendants, so she specially agreed to send you to the mainland when you were eighteen years old. Apologize with death, without complaint."

"is it?"

Shen Wan's eyes were filled with malice again, exuding a fearsome evil aura.

"Shen Wan, calm down! The sins of the Shen family have nothing to do with anyone. I failed to educate you well as a father, and now I can only die to show my will!"

His father slashed at Shen Wan with his hand blade, but he could no longer hurt Shen Wan, who was full of evil spirits. At this moment, the old man suddenly threw a palm from behind, supporting Shen Wan's back, and finally his father had the opportunity to break away from Shen Wan's hand. Pulling out the sword, he swung it lightly and painfully towards his own neck, blood splashed all over Shen Wan's cheek in an instant.

seven.

Shen Wan's heart stopped trembling again.

Only the hiss of blood was heard, which was as shrill as the sound of the wind, and the blood sword fell to the ground with a clang.

"This is your father's fate. Only by dying like this can his soul be saved and rest in peace."

Shen Wan was stunned for a while, then grinned.

"Shen Wan, too many things happened today, your qi and blood are already in chaos, let Master Yungong regulate your internal organs for you, so that you can calm down."

The old man closed his eyes and put his palm on Shen Wan's back, Shen Wan remained motionless, and his father's blood dripped slowly from his face.

"Shen Wan, everything is preordained in the dark."

But Shen Wan's eyes gradually became gloomy, and he noticed that his qi and blood hadn't been regulated at all, but his inner strength was gradually draining.Shen Wan realized that the old man was not trying to calm his mind, but was crippling his skills.

"It's all predestined somewhere? Did you predict your death?"

Shen Wan picked up the bloody sword from the ground, turned around suddenly and drew a miserable bloodstain on the old man, then turned the edge of the sword to himself, and the hilt to the old man, and pushed the hilt towards the old man with all his strength, the old man couldn't dodge, roaring Fly a few feet away.

"My mother became dumb due to the war, and my father died due to the royal family's will. Are they all destined?!"

The old man fell into a pool of blood and slowly stopped breathing.

Shen Xuan's cry came from afar.

Shen Wan looked at his sister, and saw a scene that broke his heart even more.

The mother hung the thick thread on the incomplete eaves above the ruins, and her face was turned blue by the rope.

Shen Wan hastily hugged her mother down, but in his hands was just a corpse exuding residual warmth.

Shen Wan smiled crazily at the sky.When he couldn't laugh anymore, he suddenly found that a large part of his world had disappeared. Si Rui, his father, the old man and his mother, the pain in his heart was surging like a tide, making him feel like he was floating in the middle of the world. gray sea.

In my life, there are no more of you?Shen Wan picked up her younger sister Shen Xuan, put her on her left shoulder, kicked over the sword casting stove, the flames flowed down, and the whole ruins gradually burned. Then, Shen Wan found a bottle of wine from the ruins, and threw it wantonly Drank it down and smashed it to pieces.He walked down the steps with his back facing a sad flame, the world seemed to be blown by a hurricane, leaving only him and Shen Xuan clean.

As the flames spread, Shen Wan walked towards the rebuilt palace on the small island, and slaughtered all the nobles in the palace who were still alive. The red-eyed Shen Wan saw no life or death in his eyes, only blood and the edge of the sword, and only the time when he swung the sword. The only moment of pleasure.His sister sat on his shoulder and cried, but he ignored her.Then, in the sky full of flames, he slaughtered every household and every life on the island.

Until the whole island, the whole world in his eyes, only him and Shen Xuan were really left.

On the seashore, there are still the boats that the old man had propped on when he came, and the bleak firelight reflects strange colors on the sea, like flowers on the other side of the greasy water.

"I don't need anything to worry about anymore."

Shen Wan boarded the boat and left Shen Xuan on the shore.After saying that, he propped up the oars and disappeared into the depths of the sea.

After that, Shen Wan named the blood sword "Cangrui". Once "Zang Rui" is out of its sheath, it will be full of blood, so people call him "Blood Swordsman".When Shen Wan returned to the land, she never thought of seeking revenge from anyone, but she was always hunted down by Ju Gu and Ao Bian, who murdered the former king. As enemies, they were afraid that this Dongyue swordsman would threaten them.

When she opened her eyes again, seven years had passed, and Shen Wan still woke up in the peach blossom forest.He stood up, accidentally kicked the wine bottle next to him, looked around, saw exactly the same peach blossoms as seven years ago, the whole forest of flowers was like a mirror, there was neither pain nor sorrow, passing through the dreamland like a phantom People and things were annihilated like phantoms, and Shen Wan felt that her memory had become a blank, like a field of white snow, without any shadows.

What is lost in this sleep?Shen Wan stood up holding the hidden core sword, kicked the fragments of the wine bottle, and suddenly saw words engraved on the fragments, he quickly sat on the ground and assembled the fragments with words, and found that it read:

"My brother Shen Wan, this wine is called Mengjiu. The drinker will reappear his life in his dreams, but he will forget everything when he wakes up. Shen Xuan knew that he was guilty, so he made atonement with death. I hope my brother can let go of everything . Xuan'er should have died for casting swords, don't worry about it anymore."

Shen Wan stood up blankly, looked at the Tibetan stamen sword in her hand, was puzzled by the bright red in the sword, and then felt an inexplicable sense of fear, and danced the Tibetan stamen among the flowers. The sword rotated once, and then stood it in the ground. With a yell, the wind ring slammed in all directions, cutting all the flower branches and petals, and forming a sea of ​​light red flowers covering the hill.

Among the evenly spread flower branches and petals, there was a vacancy that became extremely obvious, Shen Wan went there, planed out the peach branches and peach blossoms, dug up the dust and soil, and saw a pile of bones.

Shen Wan took several steps back.He glanced at the sword in his hand again, and felt that the bloodstain was extremely miserable, so he kept picking up petals from the ground and wiping them on the sword. Even in vain, he still picked up pinch after pinch of peach blossoms and washed them without hesitation. Blood on the sword.

It was not until the enemy came to Si Houdao and pierced his body with a sword from behind that he stopped washing the sword and threw the sword aside.

The blade of the sword lay across the sea of ​​peach blossoms, and the bloodstain, which neither time nor flowers could wear away, was still clearly visible.

After a while, the entire sea of ​​flowers was soaked with his blood.
