"Wait a minute, things are too messy, let me think about where to start."

Xiao Jiu didn't keep everyone waiting for long.She was sitting on the armchair, and with one hand, she clicked on the "Women's Heart" on the small table next to her to complete the draft, "It's better to start with Brother Pan's play. Some details are simplified in the play. In the earliest time, it was indeed Peng Gu who wrote the book. Confucianism was sympathetic, and advocated trying to resettle the women in Jiefu Village and punish them. Song Gang was worried that the disciples of the Heavenly Punishment Sect would develop selfish desires after getting along with them for a long time, so he advocated sending them home. But Song Gang knew the seriousness, and felt wrong in the end. , has turned to persuasion. The "Mr. Xing" in the play is not Song Zhangxing, but 27 ordinary disciples who initially stood on Song Gang's side. They later formed an alliance and attracted some other followers, but The most extreme things were done by these 27 people.

"They didn't wake up until they died. Before they died, they still scolded Peng Guru and others for being bewitched by those women, and framed them. They even scolded Song Gang as a fool and refused to persevere."

Qin Songfeng asked: "How many people died in total?"

"Originally 170 people died, and only 50 remained. Among them, more than a dozen people were lured away by Qiu Fengqing's design because they were relatively stable, and the rest were lucky enough to survive the melee."

Sun Chengxiu couldn't help but said: "So, among the surviving people, thirty or forty of them have participated in the fratricide? Aren't their crimes worse than Qiu Fengqing's father? How should the head of the Shangguan deal with them?"

Xiao Jiu said: "They don't need to be dealt with by others. One of them suddenly cried bitterly and repented what he had done in the first half of his life. After repenting, he committed suicide on the spot, and several people followed him. It was about to lead to a catastrophe of suicide."

Sun Chengxiu felt apologetic: "The seniors of the Heaven's Punishment Sect are really... strict with others and themselves."

Xiao Jiu raised his pale left hand, and firmly grasped the armrest of the chair: "But my father didn't want to see Manmen committing suicide. He got an idea in a hurry, and stood up and said that suicide is useless at this moment, and it's just a coward's escape. The Heaven's Punishment Sect used to be ruthless. Hot, it’s just because I don’t believe that sinners can reform, so I have to kill them to avoid future troubles. If people can reform, wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds? It just so happened that before the remnants of Haifeng Village could be killed, they agreed to settle on the island from now on. , changed the name of Haifeng Island to Xixin Island, and tried to teach these gangsters to change their minds. If the results are remarkable after decades, they can write a book for future reference. In order to deceive people, they also transported the bodies of the 27 people back to Yongzhou. Pingfu, quietly abandoned the wilderness, making outsiders think that the Heaven's Punishment Sect was attacked and wiped out."

Ji Shuliu became interested after hearing this: "My father's idea is very novel, but how is he going to teach it? These pirates dare to kidnap a whole village of women in broad daylight. They are not ordinary villains."

Xiao Jiu pursed his lips and smiled: "Teaching is nothing more than coercion and lure. How about coercion, or lure? At that time, there were more than 50 disciples of the Heaven's Punishment Sect on the island, more than 70 young women, more than [-] sinners in Haifengzhai, and The nearby fishermen still exchange some goods. The Heavenly Punishment Sect controls the money and distributes the food uniformly. The only ones who can be "beneficial" are women. So my father made a rule that whoever performed best would be eligible to marry a woman. "

Sun Chengxiu doubted: "Those women are willing?"

Xiao Jiu took a deep look at Sun Chengxiu: "As long as they are not allowed to go home, they are willing to do anything."

"But, don't they also want to get married with the fifty remaining members of the Heaven's Punishment Sect?"

"Not so many," Xiao Jiu said, "Except for those who are too old, those who are in poor health, and those who have practiced the strength to cut off children and grandchildren, there are only a dozen or so left."

In the martial arts world, Xuan Jie of the Heaven's Punishment Sect is highly admired, but they are quite critical of their martial arts methods, because their methods of practicing kung fu are excessively harmful to the body and go against the harmony of heaven.This kind of internal energy is extremely domineering, and the price is extremely heavy. Women who have practiced immortality will no longer menstruate, and men who have practiced eternal life will be inhumane.It originally had a more elegant name, but those who hated it in the martial arts often called it with the intention of cutting off children and grandchildren. Who knew that the Heaven's Punishment Sect took advantage of the situation and changed its name to show that loyal people are not afraid of death, and why should they be afraid of cutting off their children and grandchildren.

Sun Chengxiu grabbed Xiao Jiu's sleeve in fear, and whispered: "Did a lot of things happen later, why did you come to Yongping Mansion alone at the age of 12?"

Xiao Jiu didn't answer, but instead asked, "What do you think it's like being in charge of life, death and marriage of hundreds of people on an isolated island?"

After all, Sun Chengxiu was still young, so he said blankly, "Like a matchmaker?...Like the King of Hades?"

Qin Songfeng replied for his apprentice: "Like an emperor."

Sun Chengxiu frowned slightly, and finally realized what was wrong.

Xiao Jiu sighed: "If someone had reacted as fast as you at the beginning and warned you in time, maybe there would be nothing later."

Qin Songfeng shook his head kindly: "Your father is in his position, and there is nothing he can do. If he looked forward and backward, how could he stop more than 50 people from committing suicide. I am afraid that the future things cannot be controlled by one person."

"Maybe he's just crazy. When he fought with Qiu Fengqing, the back of his head hit a big rock." Xiao Jiu glanced at the crowd meaningfully, "If he's not crazy, how can a good head of the Heaven's Punishment Sect have so many children?" child."

※two※

Shangguanpan has a total of nine children. The first two are twins.

At that time, the turmoil on the island gradually subsided, Shangguan sentenced to establish a system of rewards and punishments, and after killing people several times, finally made some Haifengzhai gangsters who were drifting with the tide sincerely repent. I feel very relieved about my mistakes.

They began to want to marry a wife and settle down.

It is sad to say that Peng Guru, who originally advocated saving the women in the village, deeply regretted that he was caught in righteous indignation and failed to take charge of the overall situation in time. Song Gang, who advocated sending those women home to die, chose a wife, and she was a woman who was admired by the Heavenly Punishment faction. The knife on the ground bravely stepped forward to help.

As for Shangguan Ping, he didn't dare to look for any heroine, so he chose a girl who looked beautiful and well-behaved.

The woman who was judged by Shangguan and Mrs. Song were pregnant at the same time.Mrs. Song gave birth to a son, named Song Bai, that is, Bai Zhi; Shangguan Judgment's twin was a bit of a pity, Shangguan Er was stunted, so small that he could move at first, and died within a moment.

The son who died at birth did not make Shangguan judge too sad. He was overjoyed with his first love daughter, and she hugged her in her arms to show off at the first full moon. The pain of being betrayed by Qiu Fengqing finally faded away.

For the Heaven's Punishment faction who frequently cut off their children and grandchildren, daughters are actually more likely to touch the soft emotions of their fathers than sons.So Shangguan Ping never dreamed that most of the women in Jiefu Village felt that giving birth to a daughter is not as grand as giving birth to a son, and they kept praising Mrs. Song for her blessing, but they always showed cheap sympathy for Shangguan Yi's biological mother.The seemingly well-behaved woman gradually became jealous and resentful. Looking back on the past, she thought of some strange rumors circulating in the countryside, thinking that Mrs. Song was pregnant with a daughter, and she designed a spell to take away Shangguan Er's soul before becoming a son. He believed that Shangguan Yi was transformed by the soul that was brought in.

Mrs. Song didn't notice this.

When people are suspicious, they can always find a lot of "evidence". The more the woman thought about it, the more she believed it. In the end, she beat Mrs. Song to death with a sap, and when she returned home, she strangled Shangguan Yi with her own hands.Until Shangguan seized her and questioned her sharply, she still plausibly said that the infant girl, her own flesh and blood, was reborn by an evil spirit.

Once again, the Shangguan who chose the wrong woman laughed wildly, and chopped her in two in public.

But Shangguan Yi couldn't survive, and Mrs. Song couldn't survive either.Mrs. Song was the first woman in Song Gang's life. Song Gang had just tasted the love between husband and wife, and his iron-cast heart had just softened.But he was used to holding swords and killing people, and he didn't know how to take care of a baby.The colleague who happened to go to land to inquire about the news came back and said that Mrs. Song was thinking of her child very much and was in great pain. Song Gang couldn't bear it, so he took the young Song Bai to land by boat, and quietly sent the child to his mother, leaving the old man with him. A thought.

Shangguan Pan also returned to land at that time, sneaked into the Yanshan School, and learned that just two days before his arrival, Qiu Fengqing had died of madness and was quietly buried by her senior brother Yuan Lei.Shangguan ordered to dig up Qiu Fengqing's grave and confirmed that she was the one who died. With mixed feelings in his heart, he silently covered the soil and returned to the island with Song Gang.

He knew that Yuan Lei had been looking for him, but he didn't know whether he was afraid of Yuan Lei's sadness and guilt, or because Qiu Fengqing angered the Yanshan faction, so he didn't go to Yuan Lei in the end.

After that, Shangguanpan's attitude towards women changed suddenly. He doubted them, but he learned to enjoy their beauty.Frightened by the death of Shangguan's biological mother, the women of Jiefu Village on the island chose two good-looking, taciturn and honest girls to "make amends". Nei gave birth to six boys with them, among them, Mrs. Jiang gave birth to Shangguan San and Shangguan Wu, and Mrs. Feng gave birth to Shangguan Si and a pair of triplets. Unfortunately, the Lu Qiba triplets were stunted and all died within a month.

Then it was "Shangguan Jiu"'s turn.

Shangguan Jiu's mother, Xiao Qiyue, was not a village girl in Jiefu Village.She is a native of martial arts, with her parents living in exile. When she was 12 years old, she accidentally found out about the kidnapping of women in Haifengzhai. She informed the Heavenly Punishment Sect and followed Xixin Island by the way. She stayed because she had nowhere to go. .

She grew up on the island, and the only people she came into contact with were the women of Jiefu Village, the sinners of Haifeng Village, and the rough men of the Heaven's Punishment Sect.The village woman regards her as a great benefactor who saves the suffering, the sinner regards her as a "high official" of the Heaven's Punishment Sect, and the rough people regard her as a guest who needs to be treated preferentially. In addition, her parents died early and no one taught her since she was a child. She doesn't understand A lot of things that women of the same age should understand.

When Shangguan took a fancy to her and proposed to marry her, she had no idea that as a free-spirited Jianghu daughter, marrying a man who was 20 years older than her, widowed twice, and brought two concubines Inappropriate.

Of course, Shangguan knew.So Shangguan sentenced Peng Guru very seriously to be a matchmaker, and even got some dowry gifts that were actually useless, and married her as his wife.Soon, Xiao Qiyue gave birth to his youngest daughter, Shangguan Jiu.

At the beginning, Shangguan Sentence might have intended to deceive Xiao Qiyue, but Xiao Jiu's birth reminded him of his cherished daughter, Shangguan Yi, and he made up for the guilt and nostalgia for his elder daughter on his younger daughter.After a few years, Xiao Jiu showed extraordinary talent in swordsmanship again. The moment Shangguan saw her holding a sword for the first time, it was like waking up from a dream.

For talented swordsmen, swordsmanship is not only a life-saving skill and a capital for fame. The beauty of swordsmanship itself is enough to compete with the most extravagant selfish desires.The emperor's temptation to do whatever he wants has raged for several years, but he still lost to the pursuit of the ultimate swordsmanship.

Shangguanpan no longer dealt with the chores on the island, but practiced swords among the cliffs all day long, and practiced swords on the rocks at low tide. Before going to the island, a new set of swordsmanship had already taken shape, and it was completed within a few years. The age at which she started to learn swordsmanship has been passed on to her in its entirety.

Unfortunately, the story of Xixin Island has never stopped.

Shangguanpan's sons gradually grew up.Most of the sinners in Haifengzhai on the island didn't understand the aspirations of the Heaven's Punishment Sect to teach people to change their minds. Unknowingly, the ignorant young people began to follow their own understanding, behind their backs, calling Shangguan the "King of Cleansing", and made him His sons were called "Princes", and Song Gang and Peng Guru, who were in charge of punishment, were called "Generals" and "Prime Ministers".In fact, this group of people fought life and death on Xixin Island, except that there were too few people "ruled", and they were somewhat similar to real emperors and generals.

At first, the Heavenly Punishment Sect felt that it was good for the sinners to think so, at least they could be afraid.But for the descendants of the Heaven's Punishment Sect who grew up on the island, this game of praising kings and ministers has gradually become half-truth.

On the surface, everyone said that it was just a whimsical idea born from watching too many rough dramas in Haifengzhai, and the dignified Heavenly Punishment Sect naturally scoffed at it.However, the head of the Heaven's Punishment Sect has changed from a hard job with no end in sight to the target of Shangguan San's three sons.

They cultivated their own party members and competed secretly. What's more frightening is that almost everyone took it for granted that the next head of the Heaven's Punishment Sect should be chosen from among the Shangguan's blood. Choose Xiao Jiu.

It's almost like they're playing a botched "clash for the throne."

In fact, Shangguan had noticed all this a long time ago, but it was the years when he was most obsessed with power and beauty, and his three sons were young, so he regarded these things as a part of power and did not stop them immediately ; Then, he was immersed in that set of swordsmanship again, too lazy to take care of mundane affairs.When he truly realized the mistakes he made, the changes of the Heaven's Punishment Sect were irreversible.

When Xiao Jiu was 11 years old, the climate on the island suddenly became very bad.Xiao Qiyue suffers from a strange disease, which cannot be cured for a long time, and the Shangguan judge was anxious, and personally took her to leave the island by boat to land for treatment. Before leaving, he was afraid that Xiao Jiu would suffer, so he gave Xiao Jiu the sword "Mingshen" he had always used.

Xiao Jiu's eyes were gloomy: "They never came back. I don't know if my mother's illness was cured or not. Anyway, they encountered a shipwreck on the way back. The bodies of several members of the same family on the boat floated to a deserted island on the way. My parents' lives and deaths are unknown. I don't want to believe that a master like my father has no power to save himself, and I'm tired of the three elder brothers fighting each other in a strange way, and everyone from the same sect contributes to the flames. Finally, a year later, I left the island and landed in Yongping Mansion, quietly shaking off the fellow sects who followed , alone to visit the whereabouts of his parents. Unexpectedly, he accidentally fell into the hands of Sumen.

"After leaving Sumen, I contacted my fellow sect to avenge my revenge, but there was still no news from my parents. I had to believe that something happened to them, so I took refuge in my mother's relatives and stopped contacting my fellow sect. In the past six months, Peng Zhangshu He came to see me several times. He said that the climate on the island is getting worse. Many frail old people and children died of illness. Even the biological children of my three older brothers died one after another. An old man from Haifeng Village with a lot of experience said that the island used to be a place where spiritual energy gathered, but now that the spiritual energy is exhausted, if they don't return to the land, the whole island will not be able to escape the fate of death from strange diseases.

"I don't know how they discussed it on the island. Anyway, last summer, Song Zhangxing and Peng Zhangshu took my three older brothers and ran to land together, looking for a suitable hiding place separately, intending to move the people on the island to live in seclusion. , Unexpectedly, my three older brothers are still more concerned about fighting for power and profit, and brother killing."

Ji Shu stood up hurriedly: "Anyway, the murderer who seriously injured Ziyun is probably that Shangguansi. Will you let us take revenge?" His clear eyes were burning with burning anger, and the hatred in his heart was undisguised. exposed.

Xiao Jiu lowered his shoulders and pulled out the sword at his waist. This sword is very long, neither wide nor narrow. I don’t know what forging technique was used. The light comes, the more it reaches the tip of the sword, the more dazzling the light.

"In addition to the head, book, and punishment, the Heaven's Punishment faction also has an unsettled position called Sword Hand, which can behead anyone without the head's consent, including the successor of the head. My father gave Mingshen I mean, let me hold the sword.

"Father didn't expect me to clean up the house back then, but he was worried that I would not be able to protect myself. After all, I was also responsible for cleaning up the house. Brother Pan is Xiaoxi's husband. I will never let anyone who hurts him go. Don't worry about that." .If it was really my brother who did it, I may need your help in case the book is in favor of him, thank you in advance."

Ji Shuliu saluted her solemnly, and his expression gradually returned to normal: "Also, your suspicions back then should be right. You said that your father has been missing for 14 years, but Lu Fengchun said that he saw your father ten years ago."

Xiao Jiu opened his eyes wide, did not speak, and quietly listened to him explain the cause and effect.

"... That's exactly what Lu Fengchun said. I think that although this person is careless, he is quite reliable." Ji Shuliu finally concluded.

Xiao Jiu pondered for a long time, and finally said: "If he is still alive, I can't think of a reason for him not to come to me, unless my mother, like Qiu Fengqing, is also an enemy who has sneaked into the Heaven's Punishment Sect, but this seems unlikely." Speaking of this, the stiff sitting posture she had been maintaining suddenly collapsed, and she leaned back on the back of the seat, "I'm tired, everyone, take care of yourself."

Ji and Qin left, and Sun Chengxiu suddenly walked over and sat on the armrest of Xiao Jiu's chair, and hugged her shoulders: "Before today, did you never tell anyone about this?"

Xiao Jiu said casually: "It's not a good thing, it would be embarrassing to say it."

Sun Chengxiu has been holding her tightly and never let go, she gently broke it twice but did not break it, and said helplessly: "Little girl, you should come to sympathize with me when you are older."

Sun Chengxiu didn't move at all, and said in a low voice: "I just thank you for telling the truth. I thought you would not allow us to intervene."

The mocking smile on Xiao Jiu's face gradually faded, revealing a faint bit of real bitterness: "Even for Pan Ziyun."
