beg for chivalry

Yu Jiachen is the most valued disciple under Elder Dongqing of the Tianshan Gate.

He was originally from the Wang family of Yidu, Kyushu. Because his ancestors, who were military generals, used a golden melon to smash the heads of Ahema, the powerful minister at that time, and the family members were implicated and killed.The young Yujiachen wandered along the streets with his nanny, snatching food from wild dogs and looking for leftovers from the swill to satisfy his hunger.

Xiao Yujiachen was only six or seven years old at that time, still unable to speak, and was covered in dingy gray, with a rag coat hanging on his body.It was Elder Dongqing who came down the mountain to pick him up, taught him the etiquette of poetry and books, and learned the swordsmanship of body protection. Only then did he grow like an ordinary person and be able to speak a few words.

But perhaps because he was born in the Tianshan Gate when he was young, Yu Jiachen had a blind faith in his teacher, and he believed in what Yubai Swordsman said.Wang Xiaoyuan still remembers him standing stubbornly in the snow on the Tianshan cliff, his face was blue and purple from the cold, but his dark eyes were fixed on him.The little figure often followed behind him in a defiant way, calling out in a respectful tone: "Senior brother, senior brother!"

Wang Xiaoyuan suddenly remembered that under the pear blossom tree in Qianjiazhuang, Yu Jiachen was wearing a snow suit, holding a sword in one hand and the blade in the other, and made an oath by bleeding: "I have made up my mind to go, and I will look for the black clothes if I say anything." Raksha's revenge."

At that time, Yu Jiachen was still in high spirits, with bright eyes and white teeth, and a graceful face, and his eyes were full of hatred for the black-clothed Rakshasa.

But in a blink of an eye, there was only a farmer in brown clothes left in front of him, with a dirty face under a straw hat, a pair of dark and dim eyes, and he was curled up and kneeling on the ground.

The dark night covers the sky and the earth, and the surroundings are dim, only the flames of burning jujube branches dance faintly.Yu Jiachen trembled, slowly raised his head, his only pale arm resting on the ground, so as not to cause him to collapse.He trembled:

"Brother Wang...no, brother?"

"……it's me."

Wang Xiaoyuan just uttered these two words lightly, which caused Yu Jiachen to tremble unceasingly. He pressed the Ruo Li down as if he was ashamed, not daring to look Wang Xiaoyuan directly in the eyes.

"You already found out it was me when you were in Qianjiazhuang, Jiachen." Wang Xiaoyuan smiled wryly, and removed his hand from the hat.

When we parted at that time, Yu Jiachen broke off the pear blossom and gave it to him, and asked him anxiously if he could still see Yubai Swordsman.It's just who knows that the two of them have changed drastically after they parted. One of them finally regained the past, but was trapped in blind wind and rain;

Yu Jiachen faltered: "Although, although I feel a little faintly in my heart, I am convinced only when I heard the word 'Yubai Dao' just now."

Looking at his broken arm, Wang Xiaoyuan felt lost and sad in his heart, and asked: "Your hand...was it cut off by Dugu Knife?"

"It's not him." Yu Jiachen shook his head, he took off his hat, his unkempt hair scattered, slightly covering his frightened eyes.He whispered:

"It's... the owner of Houtianlou, the left is not right."

After the separation of Qianjiazhuang, Yu Jiachen was looking around, and just heard that there were bandits in Longwei Mountain, burning, killing and looting.He suspected that it was written by Hou Tianlou, so he went to investigate.But I didn't expect that it was Houtianlou who colluded with Erengou and ran amok in this mountain.

Yu Jiachen still remembered that day, when he stepped on the ruined walls and the smelly blood mud, his whole body trembled.The mountain ghosts slaughtered the villagers at the foot of the mountain, and the scattered corpses were scattered all over the place.The old man with white beard and hair folded his arms in the bamboo forest, talking to a woman in a low voice. The woman was dressed in black black satin. A touching, yet cold and cruel face.

He just glanced at it, and then he felt terrified, as if his body and mind were about to kneel at the woman's feet.It was a woman who could not tell her age, even though she seemed to be surrounded by twilight, her face was innocent and flawless like a girl.In an instant, Yu Jiachen backed away cowardly, as if his courage had been emptied.

Zuo Buzheng looked at him with a smile, and called him: "Young Master of Tianshan Gate, what are you doing here?"

He stared at her angrily, but his legs were already trembling unconsciously.Everyone in the world knows that Rakshasa kills the most famous people, but they also know that Yasha, the host of Houtianlou, is the most terrifying person.Yu Jiachen drew his sword out of its sheath and shouted: "I come to rid you of this evil, today I vow to stab this sword into your heart!"

The woman just folded her hands and looked calm.Just standing there, she covered Yu Jiachen's heart like a black cloud.Zuo Buzheng smiled, "But young master, why did you stick your sword in the soil and not swing it at me?"

For a moment, Yu Jiachen felt puzzled.He had just pulled the sword out of its sheath and held it in his hand, why did Zuo Buzheng say "insert it in the soil"?

But when he moved his eyes down, he really saw a sword stuck on the ground alone, with three crystal jade beads hanging on the head of the sword, it was his sword.

There was a severed hand on the handle, and blood was bubbling from the crack.

This hand is also his hand.

When he realized this, a piercing pain burst from his arm.Yu Jiachen couldn't help crying out in pain, he was dripping with cold sweat, and when he raised his right hand, which was in severe pain, his entire arm was missing!The blood sprayed like a spring, and amidst the splashed blood spots, the woman just smiled quietly as before, silently watching his mad and embarrassed ugly appearance, and lightly moved his overlapping fingers, turning his blood into Kodan. Dye on the ten fingers.

Yasha shot too fast, Yu Jiachen couldn't see her moves at all.The severe pain distorted his mind. In the burning pain, he almost fainted, barely saw the red lips on the left side open and close, and spit out terrible words.

She smiled:

"Go and tell Yubai Swordsman that the Tianshan Gate has been destroyed."

-

Wang Xiaoyuan listened in a daze, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

A bit of indigo skylight leaked out of the pitch-black sky, faintly covering the mountains and plains.The firewood crackled and cracked in the fire, turning into ashes bit by bit.

"Tianshan Gate... destroyed?" Wang Xiaoyuan repeated this sentence in a daze.These words made him still in a dream, confused.The Tianshan Gate, the largest in the Northwest, and the Tianshan Gate with the Yubai swordsman sitting there, was really destroyed and turned into lifeless black ember?

Hou Tianlou had attacked the Tianshan Gate two years ago.At that time, two of the four elders were killed, and two were seriously injured. They are still retreating to recuperate their qi. Elder Nanchi even slept for a long time.If he hadn't risked his life on the cliff of Tianshan and swung Zuo Buzheng for the third time, even the one and two bead disciples other than the three bead disciples would have been murdered.

After recalling the past, he was always worried about the missing Jinwu, but he never thought that the Tianshan Gate would be in such a catastrophe.

"Hou Tianlou got the list of Tianshanmen disciples who went to the Martial League Conference, and is killing people one by one according to the names on it." Yu Jiachen bowed his head deeply, "There are also disciples guarding Tianshan...they are all swordsmen. The one or two pearl disciples who are still not very advanced in Dharma can't resist the attack of Houtianlou. It's all my fault! If I hadn't left the Tianshan Gate, and didn't come to Longwei Mountain rashly, maybe everything would not be the same as it is now ..."

The more he spoke, the more he burst into tears, until finally he buried his face in his palm and wept bitterly.

He felt remorse, if he hadn't insisted on going his own way, persistently leaving the Tianshan Gate to find his missing brother, and abandoned the Tianshan Gate, which was seriously injured, would everything not be as miserable as it is now?Day after day, he lived in the wind, ate and slept in the open, wandering, hiding in the ravine in fear, and even lost his hand, no longer the same spirit as before.

"...We don't blame you, Jiachen."

A voice came from outside the cave.The two looked up, and saw a few figures standing sparsely in the night, all of them dressed in brown clothes and straw hats, dressed as fishermen and peasants, came out from under the trees in the forest, and gathered beside the fire .They took off their hats, revealing pale cheeks familiar to Wang Xiaoyuan.

The Tianshanmen disciples gathered around, and someone said shyly: "We were going to the Martial League Conference in Tianfu, but we didn't want to be slaughtered by the Houtianlou assassins, and now there are assassins chasing us with names. Luckily, he escaped and ended up living in Longwei Mountain. Alas, thinking about it, I still have lingering fears." As he spoke, the man trembled a few times.

"If Jiachen hadn't come out to bring everyone together, I'm afraid we would have starved to death in this barren mountain long ago!"

Another person came up, patted Yu Jiachen on the back hard, and said, "If you want to talk about faults, it should all be blamed on Houtianlou! Don't feel guilty all day long, Jiachen is the most useful among us." One, if you feel that you are not good enough, who else can stand up to you?"

The remaining Tianshanmen disciples gathered around the fire in twos and threes, giggling while holding the jade armor and Chen cards. "Speaking of which, Jiachen is the sect master. Although this sect master is only recognized by Elder Xi Xun, our sect master is really as weird as each other."

Yu Jiachen's eyes were still red, he wiped away his tears, raised his head in a daze, and asked, "What kind of weird method?"

Everyone chattered and said in a hurry: "You are the most rigid sect master I have ever seen! We are all down to this point, and you still lead us to recite the sect rules every day!"

"This... Isn't this what it should be?" Yu Jiachen argued with a blushing face.

"I still love to cry very much. I would sneak out every night and cry while hugging the green paulownia tree outside, sobbing and choking. You think we didn't notice it, but everyone heard it!"

"We are taken care of by you, but you are also taken care of by us, you have to admit it." Everyone smiled and came up to him, elbowing him.

Hearing these accusations, Yu Jiachen's face burned, and he lowered his head in embarrassment.Everyone sat around the fire, laughing and chatting, leaving the current predicament and sadness behind.This scene reminded him of the familiar faces facing him when he was guarding the age at the Tianshan Gate, which made him extremely at ease.

Wang Xiaoyuan sat quietly at the back, watching everyone chat happily.His whole body was buried in the shadows, only his eyes glowed with warm fire.

"...Jiachen." Wang Xiaoyuan called out suddenly.

Yu Jiachen suddenly turned around.The Tianshan disciples around were still laughing, although they were dirty and wounded, but they still chatted happily as before, and the melancholy on their faces was swept away.

"The Tianshan Gate has not yet fallen." Wang Xiaoyuan said, "There is still a fire in the ashes, and it will be rekindled by the wind. All of you are embers. As long as there is still a spark, the Tianshan Gate will not die."

The bright firelight dissipated the chill, and they gathered in a small cave, huddled together to keep warm.Yu Jiachen was taken aback for a moment, then laughed through tears: "...Yes."

Tianshanmen Mental Law has already pointed out a way to them.The heart is like a bright mirror, and the spirit is also long-lasting. As long as you keep this righteous way, everything seems to be nothing to fear.

"Can you still hold a sword?"

"The former I can't," Yu Jiachen said with a bitter smile on his face, "but if my brother asks me, I dare not refuse. I can wield a sword, as long as I am alive, I will always be able to."

Wang Xiaoyuan looked over the heads of the crowd, looking into the vast night.After a long time, he seemed to be muttering to himself: "Then I will ask you to be the head of the Tianshan Gate and take up this burden. And I... will take back the Yubai Sword." He touched the jade Jiachen's head, with unknown complicated emotions in his eyes, said with a smile: "At that time, Yubai Swordsman will return to Tianshan Gate, and Tianshan Gate will come back to life."

Yu Jiachen didn't answer, bit his lip first, hesitated for a while, "Brother, in fact, what I said earlier... is true."

"What words?"

"This is the blessed land of cave heavens, the Xuling cave sky ranked seventh among the 36 cave heavens. I don't know if my brother still remembers, the elder Beixuan once said that the second half of the ten cave heavens and the 36 small cave heavens are left behind." Yu Jiachen looked up. After a while, said. "When I first went to Longwei Mountain, I didn't think too much about it, but later I remembered that Tianfu is just close to Xuling Cave."

Wang Xiaoyuan recalled the mental method that he had memorized in just a few sentences, and sighed: "I am afraid that the mental method often does not work, so this is the reason."

Yu Jiachen stood up staggeringly: "This is the imitation of the Xuling Cave, but there is a meditation room used by the predecessors. It is deep in this cave, and there are some strange pictures carved on the wall. Brother, do you want to follow me?" Come and take a look? Maybe you can find a way to let you use the knife again."

"... Has anyone used it before?"

Wang Xiaoyuan has never heard of these things, although he knew that the martial arts of Tianshan Gate were scattered everywhere, and it was still quite fragmented.The sword technique still has some clues, but the saber technique is really hard to explain.

"I went to take a look, and the painting seems to be left by the previous sword master." Yu Jiachen frowned slightly, showing doubts. "Strange, her name is also 'Yu Qiuxia'."
