[Yi Tian] Breaking the cocoon

After that night, Zhang Wuji never saw Song Qingshu come back. Instead, a family member came to bring a message early the next morning, saying that his elder brother had something important to do and left the villa overnight, and he only asked someone to tell him what he was doing. That person does not know.Zhang Wuji had no choice but to thank that person, looking for Lan Zhou everywhere like a wandering soul every day.

He didn't know what he did wrong that night, so that Lan Zhou left without saying a word.Thinking carefully about the conversation that day, I was suddenly startled: Could Lan Zhou be...

Then he smiled self-deprecatingly, how could such a calm person like him like him?That's why he can't accept the love between men and men?This is not impossible, but this kind of thing can only wait for the other party to figure it out, but he has no way to figure it out.

Similar to his confused state, Zhu Jiuzhen Shiliu woke up early that morning and found himself drunk on the ground. He came over and complained to Zhang Wuji, saying that he had just left and left her behind.Zhang Wuji was in trouble and couldn't tell, he only remembered the events of that day in general, and Song Qingshu didn't have time to collude with him, so he could only vaguely say that his elder brother came to pick him up and left, and he was also drunk, so he couldn't remember what happened that day, otherwise Never be so rude.Hearing this, Zhu Jiuzhen turned his anger into joy, so let's just expose the matter.

Years later, the eldest lady's clinging skills have obviously improved, and Zhang Wuji's "brother" has left, which gives her even more reason to take Zhang Wuji by her side all day, and spend most of the day with him.When she was learning martial arts from her father, she didn't shy away from Zhang Wuji and always asked him to watch from the sidelines.Zhu Changling has revealed twice that he intends to accept him as a disciple, and is willing to pass on his martial arts, but seeing that he doesn't talk about it, so he doesn't mention it anymore, but treats him with the utmost affection, and has nothing to do with his family and disciples. different.

The family treated him kindly, and Zhang Wuji also felt it, so he no longer refused Zhu Jiuzhen's approach, but he still missed the old ghost in his heart, so it was inevitable that he would be distracted when doing things.Zhu Jiuzhen told him several times, but he was really helpless, so he simply asked Zhang Wuji to study with her.The martial arts of the Zhu family are related to calligraphy. Zhu Jiuzhen has to practice calligraphy every day. Zhang Wuji's father, Zhang Cuishan, is known as "the silver hook painted with iron". Martial arts and the martial arts of the Zhu family are similar in purpose.

A few more days passed like this, and this day Zhang Wuji and Zhu Jiuzhen faced each other in the small study.The servant girl Xiaofeng came in and reported: "Miss, Second Master Yao has returned from the Central Plains." Zhu Jiuzhen was overjoyed, throwing a pen and shouted: "Okay, I have been waiting for him for more than half a year! It's been a year before he came." Zhang Wuji held his hand and said, "Brother Ah Niu, let's take a look and see if Second Uncle Yao has bought everything for me."

Zhang Wuji was not used to being so close to a woman, and subconsciously wanted to break free. Zhu Jiuzhen glanced at him, but held him even tighter, and said with a smile, "Why are you hiding? Without me, you'd be lost!"

Zhang Wuji couldn't break free, thinking of the huge area of ​​the villa, and knowing what the other party said was true, he pursed his lips, and changed the subject after a while: "Who is Second Uncle Yao?"

Zhu Jiuzhen said: "He is my father's sworn brother, named Qianli Zhuifeng Yao Qingquan. Last year my father invited him to the Central Plains to give gifts, and I asked him to go to Hangzhou to buy rouge, gouache and silk, and to Suzhou to buy embroidery needles, threads and patterns. I also want to buy Hubi Hui ink, inscriptions and books, I wonder if he has bought all of them."

When the two entered the hall, they heard a whimper and weeping. They couldn't help being surprised. When they entered the hall, they were even more surprised. They saw Zhu Changling and a tall and thin middle-aged man kneeling on the ground, looking at each other. Embrace and cry.The man was wearing a white mourning dress with a straw rope tied around his waist.Zhu Jiuzhen approached him and shouted, "Second Uncle Yao!" Unexpectedly, Zhu Changling burst into tears when she saw her enter the door, and shouted, "Zhener, Zhener! Our great benefactor Zhang Wuye, Zhang...Zhang Wuye... He... he... is dead!"

Zhu Jiuzhen was shocked and said: "Then how could it be? Zhang Engong...has been missing for ten years, hasn't he returned safely?"

Yao Qingquan sobbed and said: "I also just found out about this. When I heard that Engong returned, I made a special detour to Wudang to visit Engong. After going up the mountain, I saw Song Daxia and Yu Erxia. I didn't want to but heard that Zhang Engong and his wife were fighting for justice in the Jianghu half a year ago. He was besieged by gangsters and died of serious injuries! Sigh..."

The more Zhang Wuji heard it, the more startled he became, and later he was even more suspicious. The "great benefactor Zhang Wuye" they called was actually his father Zhang Cuishan!He only felt a thunderbolt exploding above his head, and seeing Zhu Changling and Yao Qingquan crying sadly, Zhu Jiuzhen also burst into tears, and couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "What did you say?! How did they die?!"

His reaction made everyone in the room a little surprised, Zhu Changling raised his hand and touched the top of his hair: "Little brother, do you also know Zhang Wuxia from Wudang?"

Zhang Wuji thought to himself: I know more than that, they are my biological parents!I wanted to reveal my identity, but then I thought about it: "I have never said anything about my background, and now I suddenly admit that Uncle Zhu and my real sister probably don't believe me, so if they suspect me of pretending to be kind, I will be underestimated by them." He only vaguely said: "Of course Zhang Wuxia's benevolent boy has heard of it. But I heard that his husband and wife returned to Wudang before, and their martial arts are not bad. How could they be besieged to death?"

"That's right!" Zhu Changling suddenly raised his palm, and with a crackling sound, he knocked down half of an Eight Immortals table beside him, and said, "Second brother, please tell me clearly, who killed Engong Ensister?" Yes, who are they?!"

Yao Qingquan said: "As soon as I got the news, I should have come back and reported to my elder brother, but I thought it was important to find out the names of the enemies. But those people hid their heads and showed their tails, and they didn't show their identity. It took me a lot of effort to finally Find out the clues. Although those people were dressed in black and covered their faces, and they used ordinary weapons, their martial arts were exposed. Song Daxia said that some of the scars on Engong Ensister's body were powerful diamond fingers. Others are famous tricks of various sects." He counted the guard tricks of Kongtong, Emei sects, Haisha, Giant Whale, Shenquan, Wushan and other sects.

Zhang Wuji was listening, so he was sure of it.He still remembered that his mother had mentioned to him that those so-called "decent families" were forced to come to Wudang Mountain, and on the way to Kunlun, the children of the decent families he had rescued had turned back many times and even wanted to kill him. His various behaviors convinced him that those people would do such despicable and shameless acts.Now that the news of the parents' death was confirmed, the whole person was stunned.All of a sudden, there was only one thought left in my mind: get out of here and go back for revenge!

There were conflicting thoughts in his mind, and he didn't notice what Zhu Changling and Yao Qingquan said next.After a while, I suddenly heard Zhu Changling turn to his side, and said to Zhu Jiuzhen: "You can tell Brother Zeng how my family has been greatly favored. Since he also knows Zhang Wuxia, he is now half of Hongmei Villa. There is no need to hide those things from him."

Zhu Jiuzhen responded, took Zhang Wuji's hand, walked to his father's study room, and showed him a large central hall on the wall.At the right end of the middle hall, there are seven characters inscribed: "Zhang Gong Cuishan Ender Picture".Zhang Wuji had never been to Zhu Changling's study room. Seeing his father's name at this time, his eyes were blurred with tears. What he saw in the picture was a wilderness. A fierce enemy fights fiercely.Zhang Wuji knew that this person was his father.There were two people lying on the ground, one was Zhu Changling, the other was Yao Qingquan, and the other two were decapitated.In the lower left corner is a young woman with a face full of fear. It is Mrs. Zhu, holding a baby girl in her hands.Zhang Wuji looked closely, and saw a small black mole on the baby girl's mouth, it must be Zhu Jiuzhen.

The color of the paper in the central hall has turned pale yellow for at least ten years.Zhu Jiuzhen pointed to the picture and explained to him.It turned out that not long after Zhu Jiuzhen was born, Zhu Changling traveled westward with his family in order to avoid strong enemies, but his opponent still overtook him on the way.Two juniors were killed by the enemy, and he and Yao Qingquan were also knocked down.The enemy was about to kill him, when Zhang Cuishan was passing by, and he acted righteously, repelling the enemy and saving the lives of his family.Calculating based on the time, Zhang Cuishan must have done it before going to Binghuo Island.After Zhu Jiuzhen said this, his expression was gloomy, and he said: "We live in seclusion. The news of Zhang Engong's return from overseas was not known until last year. Father once vowed not to set foot in the Central Plains again, so he hurriedly asked Second Uncle Yao to bring an expensive gift and come I went to Wudang Mountain to pay my respects, how would I know..."

Speaking of this, a book boy came in and asked her to go to the mourning hall to salute.Zhu Jiuzhen hurried back to his room to change into plain clothes, while Zhang Wuji stayed alone in the study, staring at his father's portrait in a daze.

He thought that he would pass away before the two of them, so he left alone willfully, not wanting his parents to face the pain of bereavement directly.But he didn't want to hear the news of his parents' death before he was dead.He stood looking at the picture for a while, then suddenly knelt down with a "plop", kowtowed heavily towards the portrait a few times, and said, "Father, mother, the child is not filial, and he failed to serve you two!" Only at this time did he regret his decision to leave alone, but his parents had passed away, and his life would not be long, let alone wanting revenge, even if he wanted to return to Wudang, he would be powerless.

"idiot!"

Just as he was heartbroken, a familiar voice suddenly came from his ears. Zhang Wuji raised his head in a daze, and saw Lan Zhou, whom he hadn't seen for several days, floated in from the outside at some point. He was looking down at him, and his eyes turned red: "Lan Zhou, my parents have passed away! I, I..."

"That's why I said you were stupid, and you didn't know you were cheated!" Song Qingshu glared at him bitterly, "Get up, we have to leave immediately! Everyone here is plotting against you, you can't believe what they say! "

As soon as he said this, Zhang Wuji's eyes widened: "What did you say?!"

Song Qingshu said: "I said those people are lying to you! I saw your senior brother, this is a good show for them to conspire against you!"
