Chapter 159 Where is the Kun Dao
Although Lei Xiong told Bai Fangping that he had experienced the past six months, he did not tell him why Yu Lei Zhi had disbanded Qingxia Temple and his lifelong grudges and friendship with Huisan. He had questions about Lei Zhi's words at that time that Lin Yuanping and Bai Fangping fell in love with each other, but in the end Lin Yuanping married Yan Haifu, but it was not convenient to ask questions.
"What happened later? Your senior brother and sister opened a clinic at the foot of the mountain. Where did you go?"
"Haha, young man, I'm not afraid of you making fun of you. My senior sister and I were in love back then, and both my master and my senior brother could see it. Before leaving, my master told me to treat my senior sister well in this life. Since we love each other, we should cherish it. He no longer cares about all the affairs of the audience and our disciples. We will decide whether to stay or not, and decide the rest of our life."
Lei Xiong remembered the reason and sighed: "He has really seen through the world and just wanted to be home for the world."
Bai Fangping took a sip of tea and said, "There are so many jadeites on Qingxia Mountain. I originally found two excellent materials. When I returned home, I asked a famous teacher to make a pair of hairpins. Later, I wrapped the edges with gold and wanted to give them to my senior sister as a dear. Although she was not very beautiful, her mind was no less than a man's demeanor. She was a rare good woman. When the master left, the three of us were about to discuss their own stay. But when I was about to take out the hairpin to confess to my senior sister, the senior sister told me that she and the senior brother were getting married and were preparing to find another residence at the foot of the mountain. The task of protecting Qingxia Temple fell on me, the junior brother. The senior brother was also a handsome man and extremely smart. Although I was in pain, I thought in my heart that as long as she wanted, I would wish her happiness. So the senior brother left with the master's sword."
He was still a little sad when he said this. Lei Xiong's doubts were resolved. It turned out that Lin Yuanping fell in love with someone else and married his senior brother, but he did not expect that it would be a lifelong bad fate.
Bai Fangping said again: "I watched them leave, and it was hard to describe the pain. I was alone in the huge Qingxia Temple, deserted and as if I had lost my soul. I wanted to leave, but I couldn't bear to leave. Since the master left, he no longer cared about us, and his previous ban on us was automatically lifted."
Lei Xiong said: "I know that the Sixth Great-Emperor's ban is that the disciples and others can practice in the underground maze, but they must not get close to the stone house with Lei Fengheng as the hexagram."
"Yes, but I didn't want to pay attention to so much at that time, so I got drunk alone and walked around the maze, as if crazy and stupid, and wanted to relieve the pain and depression in my heart. I finally discovered the stone house, which was a festive but old. I thought it was the place where my master planned to marry my senior sister before. The reason why we were strictly prohibited from getting close was to surprise us one day. Seeing this scene, I was even more painful. In anger, I broke a large piece of the glass in the house. I didn't dare to keep it for too long, and I knew that all the things in the house would be destroyed by me. So I went out of the broken window, and when I was drunk, I pricked my fingers and blood flowed."
When Bai Fangping said this, his tone and expression were already very calm, but he was just telling a long-standing story, which had nothing to do with sadness and joy.
Lei Xiong said: "It turns out that piece of broken glass was smashed by your old man. It's a pity that such a good new house."
Bai Fangping laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "I was young and energetic at that time. If you were to you now, you would definitely not be able to stand this kind of thing. Only when a person has experienced many things in his life and grows older can he regard many things as he sees them plainly."
Lei Xiong added tea to his cup and asked, "Have you left Qingxiaguan like this after you left the glass window?"
Bai Fangping shook his head and said, "I came outside, but found that there was another scenery here, which was extremely beautiful. It's a pity that I couldn't appreciate it with my beloved. So, I went down along a stone level, but found a magnificent waterfall with gurgling water. I was filled with annoyance and could not relieve it, so I plunged into the water without any effort, and sank to the bottom of the water."
At this time, Bai Yu knocked in again and saw a pot of tea that had been finished again. He showed a look of surprise on his face and said, "Dad, you should drink less and be careful of insomnia at night."
Bai Fangping smiled kindly and said, "It's okay, I haven't met a soulmate who drinks tea for a long time."
Bai Yu added tea leaves to the teapot, filled the teapot with water again, put the boiling kettle aside, and asked, "What are you talking about, so speculative?"
Lei Xiong then realized that a blue-white magnolia flower had just been folded in her ear, revealing a faint fragrance, and smiled and said, "Of course I am discussing martial arts."
Bai Yu's eyes lit up and she said, "I want to listen too." After that, she sat down on the chair next to her.
Bai Fangping said: "Good girl, go outside to take care of it and don't let anyone disturb you."
Bai Yu pouted reluctantly and got up.
Lei Xiong said: "Bai Yu is innocent and cute, but it is your old pistachio."
Bai Fangping smiled but did not answer, but said, "I sank to the bottom of the deep pool. I don't know how to prevent myself from being so painful. But at this moment, I touched something hard. I took it out and saw that it was a big knife with copper as the sheath, exactly the same as the one left by the master before he left."
When Lei Xiong heard this, his heart was raised to his throat. The question that he had been confused for a long time would soon have an answer. Bai Fangping said again:
"I began to think that the senior brother threw the knife into the sight, but I thought it wasn't. Moreover, this knife should have been in the water for a few years, and some copper rust was growing on the scabbard. I came to the shore and pulled out the knife, making it even more certain that this was not the one."
"You are not familiar with that one, where can you tell this one, right?"
Bai Fangping said: "Its size and shape seem to be no different from the naked eye that the senior brother took away, but because its defects are too obvious, it is a broken knife, and the arc part of the knife head is broken. Not only that, the whole body is shiny, but this one is black, so it is definitely not that one. I can't figure out why this knife was broken? Who destroyed it? Why did it sink in the water? I know that there are many double-person knives in the underground passage, so I can be sure that this is another one."
Lei Xiong asked: "Then where is this knife now?"
"I got the knife, and I was completely drunk, and I was determined to solve this mystery. Master usually regarded that knife as extremely precious and cared for the three of us. Suddenly put down the sword and left us, maybe it was related to this knife that was sinking at the bottom of the water.
So I took a knife to the foot of the mountain to discuss with my senior brother and senior sister, but I encountered their newlyweds, so I had to return to the temple in despair.
I lived alone in the temple for two months. The underground maze had been gone by me for more than seven or eight times. I also found that there was a door that was opened from the outside with a knife as a key, and there was a small door inside the passage that needed to be opened with a precious knife. However, I held a broken knife and could not do anything. Even if I wanted to practice a knife, there was only one. And I found that this knife belonged to Yin and was not practiced by men.
I was originally going to stay in the temple alone and carry forward my master's martial arts, but my family found the temple at this time and urged me to go home to get married. My mother even forced me to die. I knew that it was meaningless to stay any longer, and it would only add to my pain, so I took a knife and went back to the south with my family.
At that time, they had already found a girl for me. I was depressed and didn't meet her. I agreed because I was too lazy to think about it. They arranged it. Both sides were business families. After we got married, we went to Xiangjiang together under the arrangement of our parents. Soon the business was very big and we also had a pair of children. But I was always depressed. At first, I didn't know why. Until later, I wanted to give the pair of jade hairpins to my wife, but I never gave it out. I realized that all my wonderful memories and love in my life were left in the distant Qingxia Mountain."
Bai Fangping said this, his voice was a little strange, probably because he had touched his emotions for decades, and he sighed.
Lei Xiong said: "Have you taken that Kun sword to Xiangjiang too?"
Bai Fangping said: "No. My heart and my soul are all on this side. Although they are thousands of miles apart, they are not even separated by the river or the sea. Besides, the customs inspection is very strict, and I can't take it away even if I want to. I left it in my hometown, removed the copper embroidery on the scabbard, dug a hole in the yard, made a box for it with the upper-sized wood, put paint on it, and buried it under a banyan tree."
Lei Xiong was overjoyed and said, "Is it still in your yard?"
"I don't know if it was seen when I was buried, or if the family was thieves later, the broken sword disappeared. Back then, my wife and I went to Xiangjiang, and there was only one old servant guarding the house. In the fifth year, my wife proposed to divorce me, and my children were raised by me. As soon as I divorced, I came back once. At that time, I found that the sword was gone, and the old servant passed away later." He sighed and said, "I was in self-blame. This is an important thing related to Qingxia Temple, but I lost it."
Lei Xiong's hope that had just been ignited was immediately extinguished. He was very unwilling and asked in disappointment: "Have you never seen that broken knife again?"
Bai Fangping looked out the window, and Lei Xiong followed his eyes. There was a tall magnolia blooming in blue and white flowers, revealing a light and pleasant fragrance. Perhaps this flower tree grew here instead of newly planted, so the flower tree was flourishing and lush with branches and leaves.
