lifelong slavery

Rui Jingtao went up and down a few times, and he had already floated out of the main courtyard of the Rui Family Fort.

The sky was already twilight, and the Ruijiabao behind him was engulfed in a mass of molten flames.

The sound of the flute gradually became clearer, he followed that direction, and after a while, he saw a few figures faintly in the distance, and when he got closer, he realized that it was the young lady and the servants who were molested in Xianglai Restaurant before.

The lady with a gray skirt and an ordinary face was holding a half flute and playing it with her eyes closed.It was only after Rui Jingtao landed in front of her that he slowly tuned in.

"Nangong Feiyan! I haven't seen you for more than ten years. Why do you still look so young?" Rui Jingtao asked.

The fifteen or sixteen-year-old lady is Le Zun, one of the four masters of the Wuliang God Sect.She slowly raised her eyes, only the flute in her hand was in her eyes.He raised the half flute, looked at it, and said, "It's broken." Then he seemed to see Rui Jingtao, "Rui Ming broke it. Your brother is indeed a martial arts genius."

"Hmph." Rui Jingtao was rather sullen, "He actually hurt me."

"If you have realized the ninth level of immeasurable magic art, how can you be injured? It's just that you kill too much, I'm afraid it's difficult." Nangong Feiyan carefully kept half of the flute in her bosom, turned and got on the carriage, "Let's go. "

"Where are you going?"

"Didn't you always want to see Wuliang Tianzun? Jin Yuling appeared again, this time, maybe you will have the chance to meet Tianzun." Nangong Feiyan said.

Rui Jingtao's eyes were filled with ecstasy: "Okay!" After saying that, he jumped into the carriage and left with Nangong Feiyan.He never paid attention to Rui Xi's group who were chasing from a distance.

"Young Master Xi! The Castle Master——"

Rui Xi looked at the carriage going away in the distance, clenched her fists under her sleeves, and said suddenly: "Zhao Da, I... I really don't know whether our actions are right or wrong... The master is no longer The young swordsman 20 years ago. He has worshiped under the seat of Wuliang Tianzun, and he is the Martial Lord of the Demon Sect."

Zhao Da bowed behind him and said, "Young Master Xi, there is no right or wrong in obeying the orders of the master."

Rui Xi smiled bitterly: "I hope so."

Then he followed in the direction of Rui Jingtao and his party.

Near the vegetable pond at the back door of Ruijiabao, three people stumbled out of it, and the fire on the opposite side could no longer affect this place.Looking at each other, they are all dressed in dishes.

"I don't know the master's safety." Chu Shishi had more than [-] stab wounds of various sizes, but they were not fatal. He looked worriedly at the sea of ​​flames.

"It should be fine." Xiao Dongqing spat out the rotten vegetable leaves in his mouth and said, "He has already made arrangements."

"Is this his arrangement?" Zheng Qi asked, pointing to the sea of ​​fire, "More than 70 shadow guards died, including four or five black-clothed shadow guards, more than 200 subordinates, and three pavilion masters... This arrangement is very good. Zhuge's trick."

"Oh, old seven! Don't be rude in front of Pavilion Master Xiao." Eleven hurriedly said.

"It's okay." Xiao Dongqing frowned and said, "The castle master has really gone too far this time. But...he also has plans..." He said this with a guilty conscience, "We will go to the previously agreed place and wait. Once you settle down, come find them again.”

"That's the only way to go." Finally, the three of them reached an agreement and turned to leave.

From time to time, the sound of buildings collapsing came from behind.The three turned their heads.

I saw that the fire in Ruijiabao was getting bigger and bigger, and it seemed that it would not stop burning up into the sky.

Although the three of them didn't show it, they couldn't help feeling worried when they saw the rampant fire.

Who can survive in such a sea of ​​fire?

Outside the building after a night of wind and rain, tongues of flame wrapped the three-storey building into the eye of the storm like a tornado.

The inside of the house became dry and suffocating, and the walls made of black iron were hot, revealing a faint red light.

Rui Ming didn't catch his breath for long.

The impenetrable sea of ​​fire will soon consume all the oxygen in the house. The two were not burned to death just now, but they will suffocate to death immediately.

However, Master Rui seemed to have been prepared, and dragged Wei Twelve under the altar without any haste, and then pressed the button on an inconspicuous place in the corner.

With a sound of "嗖", a large hole with a size of one person appeared under the altar, Wei Twelve fell in, and Rui Ming jumped into the hole, and then the door closed, and the flames and the noise in the sea of ​​flames were immediately isolated in the distance .

Rui Ming exhaled and looked around.

This place seems to be an underground dark room that had existed in Fengyulou for a long time, surrounded by bluestone bricks.The darkroom is very low, less than the height of a person, and Rui Ming has to bend down and squat down so as not to bump into each other.The area is not large, and it is just right for three people to lie flat, and if there is one more person, there will be nowhere to go.

Rui Ming placed Twelve under a damp wall, and fed some water drops from the wall to Twelve.Twelve let out a groan, but quickly fell into a deeper coma.

Master Rui seems to be very familiar with healing wounds, knowing that he would not be able to wake up for a while, so he treated Wei Twelve's wounds, pulled out the piercing dagger at his waist, and tore a few with his own clothes. Wei Twelve tied up to stop the bleeding.Then he cut a wooden plank from the only dusty thing in the house that looked like a bed, set the bone of Twelve's right hand and fixed it.During this time, Wei Twelve moaned repeatedly, frowning and sweating all over, but he never woke up.

Wait until everything is processed.

Rui Ming just let himself collapse on the ground and tried his luck to walk, but found that not only the internal injuries were serious, but the internal strength in his body was actually less than [-]%.

"Alas..." He looked at the darkness above his head.

For a shadow guard...

What a fool.

Wei Twelve felt his lips touch something soft.

Some warm, and a little itchy.

"Three four..." called out vaguely.

Another dexterous touch, starting from the chest, moving downstream, until...

He opened his eyes suddenly, pushed away the person who was pressing on him, took a step back, and hit the wall behind him, only to realize that he was in great pain all over his body, as if he was about to fall apart.

The person who was pushed down on the opposite side was coughing against the wall in the dark.

Wei Twelve sized him up: "You..." Is it Rui Ming?

Why are you so embarrassed?

Rui Ming looked up at him: "What are you doing in a daze!? Why don't you come and help me?"

At this time, the previous memories emerged bit by bit, and then, Wei Twelve lowered his head and saw San Si with only a broken palm left in his hand.His eyes darkened, then quickly burned with a look he had never shown before.

anger.

Seeing that he was motionless, Rui Ming frowned slightly and said, "Wei Twelve!"

"Where's Sansi?" Wei Twelve once again responded unexpectedly to Rui Ming.

"Dead." Rui Ming's face darkened.

"Where's the corpse?" Wei Twelve's voice rose, with uncontrollable anger glowing inside.

"Throw it away." Rui Ming was silent for a while, and finally threw out two words coldly.

"You——!" Wei Twelve panted quickly, the pain in his waist and right arm allowed him to maintain his sanity a little bit, "Parents who suffer from body hair and skin, San Si is already dead, why not even the whole body Keep?"

"Wei Twelve, pay attention to your tone of voice." Rui Ming sat cross-legged against the wall and ignored it indifferently, "I have the final say on how to deal with Sansi." After a pause, he continued, "What's more, the situation was critical at that time. It is not easy to save you alone, I..."

"Disposition?" Wei Twelve repeated these two words in a strange tone, "Disposition? Haha..." He laughed twice, "Yes, you are the master of the Rui family. We are all just your servants, To live or to die is just a word from you!" Wei Twelve had never heard Rui Ming's last sentence that was similar to an explanation.

Rui Ming had never seen such an out-of-control Wei Twelve filled with righteous indignation and excitement, and couldn't help being taken aback.

"In your eyes, there are still shadow guards who are dead. They are just obedient dogs." Wei Twelve reluctantly bent down and stood up, took off his coat, and carefully wrapped San Si's remnant palm with his left hand Inside, in the corner.When he was doing these actions, his eyes were sad and gentle.

Rui Ming looked very uncomfortable.

Thinking about it carefully, Wei 12 lost his composure twice because of these two or three things...

"You like him." Rui Ming came to this conclusion.

Unexpectedly, Wei Twelve was shocked suddenly, and his movements froze.

Suddenly, Rui Ming felt an unknown feeling, and said coldly and meanly: "How dare you like it without my permission——"

Wei Twelve turned back slowly: "Shut up."

Rui Ming lost his words again because of his abnormality.

"The dead are the most important, so don't say any more. Otherwise..." Wei Twelve raised his head and looked straight at Rui Ming without fear, "Even if he is charged with murdering the lord, Wei Twelve will not hesitate!" He said One sentence.Every word is sonorous and powerful, throwing the ground like a sound.

Although Wei Twelve was half-kneeling on the ground, his body was straight, his head held high, and his eyes were extremely sharp. Although he was in a mess, there was still a large blood stain on his waist.But in this dark room, in the eyes of Rui Ming, who was sitting cross-legged next to him, he was damn handsome.

Rui Ming was a person who was pampered and pampered since he was a child. Although there were many hardships, he had always acted recklessly.In order to save a shadow guard, he could turn Ruijiabao into ashes and ignore it, even taking advantage of his own [-]% success.Therefore, knowing that Wei Twelve at this time is like a wolf that has just been injured, stretching its claws and exposing its teeth.But because of the agitation in his heart, he rushed forward all of a sudden.

"Rui Ming!" Wei Twelve, who was thrown to the ground, let out an unbearable roar.

However, Rui Ming had already started to tear his clothes. While resisting, he had already stroked Wei Twelve's bare chest and bit Wei Twelve's lips.

"Don't..." The angry Wei Twelve opened his mouth and bit Rui Ming's lips, and the bloody smell immediately stained their tongues.

"Please forgive me for being rude." Wei Twelve said without sincerity, even with a sarcastic expression.

His expression and behavior finally angered Rui Ming.

Without even thinking about it, Rui Mingyang slapped Wei Twelve's left cheek with his hand.

"Crack!" There was a sound.

Wei Twelve fell to the wall and coughed twice.

Rui Ming grabbed his clothes, raised his hand and slapped him high, but stopped in mid-air after seeing Twelve's swollen left cheek clearly.

However, what greeted him was Wei Twelve's merciless kick, which hit his stomach.Rui Ming was kicked to the opposite side of the dark room.Lying on the ground, the pain was so painful that I didn't get up for a long time.

Like wild dogs that had just finished fighting, the two of them collapsed on the ground, panting for a long time.

Wei Twelve suffered even more, especially his right arm.

"Click." A ointment bottle was thrown in front of Rui Ming from the dark corner where he was.

Then I heard Rui Ming's indifferent voice: "Smear your pig's face with medicine. My castle master will get angry when he sees it."

After a long time, Wei Shishi just picked up the ointment from the ground, opened it, and applied it to his swollen and painful face. The cold feeling immediately relieved his pain.

"...Thank you." Wei Twelve hesitated for a long time before thanking him softly.Only this time, the word "Master" was missing.

After a long time, neither of them spoke.

Rui Ming has been recuperating internal injuries in the corner.

However, due to the serious injury on his body, Wei Twelve became hot all over his body, and he began to be half asleep, and he didn't know how long it took before he woke up from his lethargy.

At this time, Rui Ming was looking up at the top of the darkroom, seeing him wake up, he said: "The fire is out."

fire?

Wei Twelve was a little confused, and then realized that it should be the fire caused by the previous explosion.Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, he vaguely estimated how heavy the casualties would be.

Rui Ming stood up and said, "You dodge." Pushing the secret door at the top, before Twelve could react, he raised his hand and slapped him. With a "boom", the secret door was knocked into the air, and the light Mixed with mud and stones poured in.

Wei Twelve was choked up and coughed a few times.

Then his body lightened, and before he could see clearly what was next to him, he was hugged horizontally by Rui Ming and jumped out of the dark room.It took a long time for the eyes to adapt to the bright environment.Only then did Wei Shishi realize that he had been in the dark room downstairs in Fengyu.Due to the high-temperature barbecue in the Wind and Rain Building, everything that was not made of black iron has been burnt out of shape and collapsed.The building was in a mess.

Rui Ming put him down, turned around and walked out.

Looking at his back, Wei Twelve couldn't help but wonder suddenly, was Rui Ming imprisoned in the dark room just now when he was young?

But without waiting for him to think about it, he walked out of the Fengyu Building and looked up, Wei Twelve was shocked in place.Within a radius of five miles, everything was scorched black, with broken walls and remnants everywhere.There are charred corpses faintly mixed with all kinds of hideous things.As soon as the desolate wind blew, it was mixed with an incomparably fishy aftertaste.

"This..." Wei Twelve walked down the stone steps in a daze.

In such a huge Ruijiabao, those blue brick walls, wooden carved stone hills, green trees and red flowers from yesterday... all of them disappeared overnight.

After walking two more steps, as expected, in front of Fengyu Building, he found a charred corpse with a severed palm.Wei Twelve's legs softened and he knelt down.

Sansi...

Rui Ming had already walked a little far, but found that Wei Twelve hadn't followed, turned around to look for him, and saw Wei Twelve knelt in the yard again looking like he was dying, and in front of him was the shadow of the previous dead Wei, I feel upset for no reason.

"Wei Twelve, you..." He patted Wei Twelve on the shoulder as he spoke.

Wei Twelve suddenly turned his head, his hatred clearly visible in the sunlight: "Get lost!"

Rui Ming paused for breath: "What did you say?"

"I'll let you go!" Wei Twelve said.Afterwards, Twelve reached out and carried Sansi's charred corpse on his shoulders, standing up as if the corpse did not emit a terrible smell.

He turned his head to Rui Ming and said, "Wei Twelve has been in Rui's Castle for sixteen years. He first killed his best friend to save his life, and then killed his brother without a whole body. Wei Twelve has already paid back all that he owed to Rui's Castle. From today onwards, no more Not the shadow guard in black!"

After finishing speaking, he tore off the plaque engraved with Wei Twelve from his waist, threw it at Rui Ming's feet, turned around and walked out.

Rui Ming was stunned for a while, looked at his leaving back, picked up the sign, and immediately chased after him.

With Sansi on his back, Wei Twelve walked to a clearing in the forest behind Ruijiabao, placed the corpse beside him, and began to dig a hole with his left hand, ignoring Rui Ming who was following behind him.Rui Ming also had some sense of interest, he just watched from a distance and didn't step forward to disturb him.

He was already seriously injured and extremely weak, and only his left hand could move.The pit was very difficult to dig, until the sun was about to set, and Sansi's body and the remaining palm were buried in it.Before sealing the earth, Wei Twelve took out the silver lock that Sansi gave him last, put it next to Sansi's ear, and said in a low voice: "Sansi, forgive me for not allowing you to die in the same hole as Siqi. I hope you two People can meet in the underworld."

He carved another tombstone and placed it in front of the tomb, then he knelt and sat in the forest in a daze, motionless.

The sky was getting dark, and it started to rain lightly.

Rui Ming looked at Wei Twelve, feeling impatient, and finally couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "Wei Twelve, take shelter from the rain." He asked him to condescend to persuade a shadow guard to be careful of catching a cold, pay attention to his body, and take shelter from the rain... …that was really harder than climbing to the sky.

Wei Twelve only gave him a back view.

Rui Ming stepped forward again: "Wei Twelve!" This time, there was a strong threat in his voice.

However, Wei Twelve remained motionless.

Rui Ming suddenly discovered that when Wei Shishi decided not to recognize himself as the master, his ego became vivid and vivid.Since waking up in the dark room, it was me who had been indifferent and stiff, and it was Twelve who had been changing in expression and full of emotions.

Rui Ming knew that the indifferent, stiff and bloodless person was his true self just now.It was just as if Wei Twelve had suddenly come to life, while the former Rui Ming had suddenly died...

No, the previous Rui Ming was always a fake.

Whether it's teasing or joking, whether it's casual, cheerful, or pretentious...it's all fake.

The expressions on Rui Ming's face were gradually wiped away by the rain, and in the end there was only indifference, no... In the end, there was no indifference, nothing left.

The rain is getting heavier.

It was getting dark too.

Wei Twelve didn't move, there was nothing he could do. In the end, Rui Ming had no choice but to raise his hand and hit Wei Twelve on the back of the neck.

Unexpectedly, Wei Twelve suddenly moved. He spun around in the rain, and his left hand suddenly hit several big acupuncture points on Rui Ming's arm like playing a piano in the air.Unexpectedly, Rui Ming snorted in pain and took two steps back.

He leaned on his shoulders and looked at Wei Twelve in the rain.

The other party was half-kneeling in front of Sansi's tomb in a defensive posture, gasping for breath, forming a mist in the rain.His left hand is raised, the thumb and little finger are slightly bent.

"Footing Finger..." Rui Ming recognized the move, "You know how to brush Qingzhi?" He carefully looked at Wei Twelve, who was almost unable to support himself.

"Xiaoyaohou Wen Ruyu...who are you?" Rui Ming asked.

This was the last sentence Wei Twelve heard when he was awake, and then he passed out, but he remembered a familiar song that he didn't know where he heard it:

"Xiaoyaohou of Xiaoyao Villa, wields a sword and loves romance.

When I was young, I learned the finger of affection, and a gentle song cut off the previous hatred..."

Xiaoyao Hou Wen Ruyu.

This person is not as powerful as Wu Zun Rui Jingtao, and Xiaoyao Villa is not as rich and powerful as Rui Jiabao.But there are not many people walking in the rivers and lakes who don't know him.

He is the only noble with a title in the Central Plains martial arts.Although he was only a marquis and his family fortune had declined for hundreds of years, Wen Ruyu was different because of this noble blood.

Regardless of blood, Wen Ruyu is also very different from others. Twenty years ago, the martial arts conference won a battle with the then leader of the martial arts, but he did not take over the position of the former leader.It was because of that battle that he won the favor of Ruan Qinghun, the number one beauty in the martial arts world.But he ended up marrying the gangster of a little-known gang.There was an uproar in the martial arts at that time.

Who could such an unreasonable and weird person be from Wei Twelve?

Rui Ming looked at Wei Twelve who was in a coma, and fell into deep thought.

Wei Twelve didn't wake up for several days due to the high fever caused by the inflammation of the wound.In the haze, someone will help him take off his clothes, wipe his body, feed him water and porridge...

When he woke up again, he opened his eyes and saw the rock, only to realize that he had been lying in the cave without knowing when.The sun shone in from the outside, and the chirping of birds could be heard in the distance... Wei Twelve felt weak all over, and sat up reluctantly, already sweating profusely.

The wounds all over his body were well bandaged, with a strong smell of herbs.Not far from the cave, there is a pile of bonfires, and the porridge boiled in the pot on it is bubbling, exuding a tempting aroma.Under him was a piece of white tiger skin with scorched edges. Wei Twelve touched it, and it seemed familiar.

I vaguely remember that there was such a piece under the chairman's chair in the meeting hall.The porridge pot is also very familiar, like the incense burner in the Hall of the Martyrs...

When Wei Twelve was in confusion, footsteps came from outside, he looked up, and saw Rui Ming changed into a light blue bunt and entered the cave with a sack on his back.

Rui Ming glanced at him: "Are you awake?" He walked to the campfire, put down the sack, took out a set of white jade bowls and chopsticks, and wiped it with the handkerchief beside it. "There are still a lot of good things in the house that haven't burned down."

Wei Twelve didn't speak, and watched Rui Ming's movements closely.

Rui Ming didn't care, and used the white jade bowl to fill Wei Twelve with a bowl of porridge, and put it on the ground in front of Wei Twelve.He took a large golden bowl and started to eat it. Wei Twelve could see clearly that it was a bowl full of gold and jade bestowed by the emperor.After he finished eating, Wei Twelve didn't touch the porridge on the ground at all.

Rui Ming frowned imperceptibly: "Eat."

Wei Twelve turned around and lay down, with his back to him.

The air suddenly froze.

After a while, Rui Ming came over, took the bowl of porridge out of the cave, and dumped it in the nearby grass. After washing the bowls, they neatly placed them side by side on the stones beside the campfire.Then he picked up the sack and turned around to leave the cave.

This time, Rui Ming did not scold Wei Twelve angrily, nor did he order him.However, with those eyes facing away, Wei Twelve felt as if a big hole had been burned out behind him.It was not until he left that Wei Twelve could breathe a sigh of relief.

Wei Twelve woke up the next day.

Rui Ming brought porridge and water to Wei Twelve according to the time of three meals a day.In the end, they were thrown out without moving.

Wei Twelve woke up on the third day.

Business as usual.

Rui Ming finally realized that Wei Twelve was not angry with him.Wei Twelve simply wanted to die!

Wei Twelve woke up on the fourth day.

"Crack!" With a heavy smack, the steaming porridge was placed on the ground next to Wei Twelve.Rui Ming said as usual: "Eat."

Wei Twelve turned around.

"If you don't eat, I'll dig the grave and whip the corpse." Rui Ming's voice came from behind Wei Twelve. It was as flat as the previous few days. The voice was indifferent as if he was talking about the weather, but it made Twelve very clear. I can feel that he will definitely do what he says!

Wei Twelve suddenly sat up and said angrily, "You——!"

"Eat." Rui Ming looked at him and slowly uttered two words.

The eyes of the two were entangled in the air for a long time, and finally Wei Twelve lowered his head and reached for the bowl of porridge on the ground. His fingers were trembling because he hadn't eaten for a long time.Then, the porridge was picked up by Rui Ming.

Rui Ming squatted in front of Wei Twelve, scooped up a spoonful of porridge and handed it to Twelve.Wei Twelve's eyes were very resistant, but he had to open his mouth and drink it.

then……

Rui Ming looked at Wei Twelve's strange expression: "What's wrong?"

Wei Twelve swallowed the porridge that he almost spat out with difficulty and said, "It's nothing."

What kind of strength is needed to make a bowl of porridge so terrible that people who haven't eaten for a few days find it unpalatable?Wei Twelve gritted his teeth and finished the bowl of porridge in Rui Ming's hand while cursing in his heart.

Next is water.

Then change the medicine.

at the end...

"Eat, I'll carry you to Sansi." Rui Ming said.He took out the bowl and washed it carefully, put it away, then turned around and squatted in front of Wei Twelve, "Come on."

His voice was very calm, but suddenly it seemed that the clear sunlight in the mountains gently comforted Wei Twelve's heart.Wei Twelve involuntarily stretched out his left hand to hook Rui Ming's neck, and Rui Ming stood up with both hands supporting his hips.

The wind outside is very cool.

Wei Twelve's rare face was hot, and he lowered his head, feeling uncomfortable all over.

And Rui Dabao moved his fingers, thinking blankly: Well, the elasticity is pretty good.

Then many days passed like this.

Heal, eat, rest and recuperate.

In the beginning, Master Rui "cooked the kitchen" himself, and there was only gruel when he came and went, but every time Wei Twelve had eaten, he would carry him to Sansi's grave.Wei Twelve was right there, able to sit quietly for a whole day.When it was time for lunch in the afternoon, Rui Ming carried Wei Twelve back into the cave.After eating porridge, changing the medicine, and putting Wei Twelve to sleep, Rui Ming started cross-legged to heal his injuries.

His injury was not necessarily lighter than Wei Twelve's, but his injury included, and he didn't have the emotional ups and downs of Wei Twelve's great sorrow and joy, so he healed faster.In the past few days, Rui Ming has clearly felt that his internal strength is slowly recovering.

But he never cared about these things.

In fact, there are very few things in this world that he can care about and be interested in.

Living in this cave, the two of them formed a strange tacit understanding in silence.All kinds of disputes in Ruijiabao never happened again.

Wei Twelve's injury gradually improved in such a quiet atmosphere, and he could move his right arm with a little force, but it would take three to five months for the bones to fully grow.When Wei Twelve was able to walk on his own, he immediately took over the post of "chef" from Master Rui.Although I can't make anything too delicious, but roast pheasant and cook a bowl of wild vegetable soup, that's still possible.Taste, of course it won't eat dead people.

But other than that, Wei Twelve seemed to have lost his soul, and still stayed in front of Sansi's grave for a long time every day.Rui Ming secretly watched from a distance, Wei Twelve stayed there, he was really in a daze, occasionally returning to his senses, his face was also full of bewilderment.

Rui Ming was actually very familiar with that expression.

Many years ago, he had seen himself with such an expression in the bronze mirror countless times.There is nothing to fear in death, nothing in life, and nothing to do, just like a walking corpse.

When Wei Twelve No.40 showed this expression seven times, Rui Ming had an idea.Long before Rui Ming stood behind Wei Twelve, Twelve knew it was him, but he didn't move.

Rui Ming stood for a while, then suddenly said: "Why don't you wonder why I gave up Ruijiabao?"

Wei Twelve didn't answer the call.

Rui Ming had expected it a long time ago, so he continued: "Brother was known as a martial arts genius when he was 15 years old. In order to honor the Rui family castle, he took the risk of practicing countless magical skills, but lost his humanity and caused the death of his parents. The second sister died at the age of 14. She is a recognized beauty in the martial arts world. In order to consolidate Ruijiabao's status in the arena, she married into the mansion of Prince Zhu, who is more than ten years older than herself. I myself..." He seemed to want to say something, but jumped over. The long pause seems to have erased many years in one stroke, "...the Anxi factory was about to be dismantled at the beginning of inheriting Ruijiabao. Not to mention the inhumane training here, the perennial harsh training and selection are extremely important for Ruijiabao. It is a big burden. However, everyone, including those closest to me, disagrees. In the end, it was not implemented. Ruijiabao’s family regulations are 430 and [-], which are the result of the addition of [-] castle owners in more than a hundred years. The family regulations are strict. The extreme has reached the appalling level, but it has remained unchanged for many years. I have made revisions many times, but I have never touched the root."

He took a few steps forward with his hands behind his back, and Ruijiabao, which was covered in scorched earth under the hill, appeared in front of him.In the scorched blackness, only the Wind and Rain Tower stood still.

"Wei Twelve, whether you believe it or not, Ruijiabao is a prison for you, and the people inside the castle are also prisons, and for me... an indestructible cage!"

Wei Twelve was startled, and looked up at Rui Ming's back involuntarily.

"Rather than that, why not tear it down and build it again." Rui Ming said indifferently. "Rui Jingtao was born, but it was just a coincidence."

Wei Twelve stared at him blankly, with an indescribably complicated expression on his face.

Rui Ming turned around and asked, "Twelve, let me ask you...do you hate me?"

When Rui Ming asked this question, he actually felt a little guilty.It was extremely rare for him to tell his thoughts, and if Wei Twelve didn't answer, he would have no other way to make Wei Twelve open up.

Wei Twelve was at a loss when he heard his question, he clenched his hands tightly, and seemed to be fighting fiercely in his heart. After a long time, until Rui Ming had given up, he finally opened his mouth and said: "We created a monster like us!" Yes, it was Anxi Factory. It was Rui Jiabao who set the rules. Rui Jingtao and I were the ones who killed Sansi. I was just to vent my anger on you, I just..." It's just too necessary to be in that way In a moment of despair, I just vent my hatred and pain on other people.

It's not that he didn't see Rui Ming's care for him these days.

"I don't hate you." Wei Twelve finally replied calmly. "only……"

What should I do if I just killed Siqi, but failed to protect Sansi herself?

What would I be without Anxichang?

Can he still call himself Wei Twelve after breaking away from himself who is twelve in black?

In just a few hours, all the hopes and thoughts he had worked so hard for for many years were shattered.What can he do while alive?

Wei Twelve lowered his eyes, his eyes wandered blankly, even with a little panic.

He heard the sound of Rui Ming lifting his feet and turning to leave.

Wei Twelve clenched his fists tightly, his face pale as if he was about to drown.

But soon, Rui Ming came back.

"Speaking of it, you just lack a straw to save you." Rui Ming raised his hand, a silver light flashed in the air, and with a sound of "Crack--", Wei Twelve's short knife rubbed and fell on him. before.

Twelve raised his head and looked at Rui Ming puzzled.

"Wei Twelve, stand up and compete." Rui Ming raised his eyebrows and said, "If you win, I will help you die. If you lose, your life will be mine!" The sweet-scented osmanthus branches picked from the tree move with the wind.

"Why?" Wei Twelve didn't bother to take the dagger, but asked.

Rui Ming said, "Don't ask me, ask yourself."

Wei Twelve was silent for a while, then asked again: "I am no longer the shadow guard of Ruijiabao, life and death are not decided by Ruijiabao."

Rui Ming said: "Twelve, even though you said that, you should know better than I do. The dead men in Ruijiabao's dark west factory have long been involuntary in life and death. Ruijiabao is not a place where you can leave if you decide to go. Today Ruijiabao Although the fort is destroyed, there are sub-forts in the fourteen provinces of the Central Plains, how far can you escape?"

Wei Twelve said, "If you want to die, you can still die."

"As long as you are by my side for a day, I will not let you die. If you are not by my side for a day, I will always find a way to make you die." Rui Ming said calmly, as if he was talking about something natural. "You also know that even if I don't care about you, as long as Ruijiabao is still there, you may only end up in a life-or-death dilemma."

Wei Twelve was silent.

He knew that what Rui Ming said was the truth.

Ruijiabao is such a place.Once you belong to Ruijiabao, you can't get rid of it for life.

"Twelve, I'm giving you a chance." Rui Ming followed the temptation, "As long as you win, I will let you be free physically and mentally. You decide whether to live or die. If you lose, you will give your life to me. Be kind to him.”

"Win or lose, live or die..." seems to be a good choice.If you win, you will move forward.Losing is nothing but returning to the origin.Anyway, he is not at a loss for Wei Twelve.

Wei Twelve looked at Rui Ming, finally picked up the dagger silently, stood up, walked away two steps, and stood in a position facing Rui Ming tit for tat.He gave Rui Ming a clear answer with actions.

"You are injured, I use my left hand, and I don't need the immeasurable magic power." Rui Ming put his right hand behind his back, and held onto the branch with his left hand.

Wei Twelve nodded and said, "Thank you."

"Come on." With a shake of the branch in Rui Ming's hand, he swung a sword flower in the air and stabbed towards him.

Wei Twelve blocked it diagonally, and in the gap, he also directly attacked Rui Ming's chest.

The moment the two passed by each other, Rui Ming's hair brushed Wei Twelve's ears, making him unable to help raising his eyes to look at Rui Ming.

Since he was ten years old, he has known the existence of this person for 16 years.Every moment, this person's likes and dislikes are forced to be engraved in his mind.

When they first met, he was already twenty-five and six, and he killed his best friend with his own hands, and then this person rewarded him with two hundred lashes.It's not that he doesn't hate, it's just that his sense of guilt was temporarily released because of the physical pain.

When we met again, the man stripped off his clothes and let him kneel in the rain with injuries all over his body.It's not that he didn't feel humiliated, but this man asked him to heal his wound, and he was given medicine, so the wound healed faster.

Then, he became Wei Twelve...

He had seen the willfulness of this man.

I have also seen this person's wandering regardless of others.

I have also seen this person's meanness, anger, happiness, anger... and all kinds of softness and concern that are hard to detect under the coldness...

Only then did he realize that the people he had known in the previous 16 years were all fake.The master he has always resisted, loathed, and resisted is not Rui Ming.

Instead, he fabricated a "master" by whitewashing, and used this faked dummy to ruthlessly suppress him until he became a monster without sorrow, joy, love, and hatred. Ruijiabao, which has stood tall for 300 years, has never fallen.

At this moment, Wei Twelve agreed with Rui Ming's words.

"Rather than that, it's better to tear down and rebuild." 』

All kinds of past events cannot be undone.Instead of being muddled and depressed, it's better...it's better to start over...

With a sound of "Deng--", the short knife in Wei Twelve's hand was flipped over very quickly by Rui Ming, he flew his hand away, and inserted it into the nearby tree trunk.

Rui Ming's branch touched Wei Twelve's throat.

Wei Twelve didn't need to lower his head, he could smell the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus coming from the branch.

Rui Ming was looking at him, and the branch in his hand pressed in a little more, Wei Twelve felt a little short of breath.

"I lost," he said.

Rui Ming withdrew and looked at him.

Wei Twelve-Yi didn't know what to say for a while, the things he thought of just now were messy and messed up in his mind.He opened his mouth twice, but no words came out.

Rui Ming and others
