Chapter 91: The Reclusive Old Man Remembers the Story
The white-haired old man narrated a life story named Mo Xu Guyun.
Mo Xu Guyun was born in a small town in the north. He was talented, agile and studious since he was a child. He was able to read, recite scriptures, recite poems and compose poems when he was four or five years old. He was called a little prodigy.
One day, a wandering Taoist came to the small town. After seeing Mo Xu Guyun, he was amazed. He said that this boy was smart in learning and was also a martial arts prodigy. It was rare to meet someone but not to ask for it. He was willing to take him to learn martial arts.
After obtaining the consent of Mo Xu Guyun's parents, Taoist Yunyou accepted him as his disciple and took him to Piaomiao Peak to practice martial arts.
During the twenty years of cold and summer, Mo Xuguyun was very diligent, practicing martial arts during the day and studying literature at night. He would wake up at midnight and practice at midnight, practicing at midnight in winter and at dawn in summer, and persevered every day.
He felt that he had accomplished his studies and his martial arts skills were unparalleled among all his brothers. He was also well-read in classics and well versed in the art of war, and he could be called an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs.
He believed that he had become a leader in the Taoist temple and thought that he would be the leader of the Taoist temple in the future. However, the master said that his character was not yet developed and he still needed to practice.
He resented his master's judgment, but he vented his dissatisfaction on his brothers. He often took the initiative to seek out his brothers and violently tortured everyone in the name of martial arts competition to show that he was number one.
This caused dissatisfaction among his fellow disciples, but because of his poor martial arts, there was nothing he could do. In anger, the master made it clear in words that it was precisely because of this that he could not be the leader.
Not only did he not have the heart to repent of his master's teachings, but he also had a resentment toward his master. He could not even listen to his master's words, and his abuse of his brothers became even worse.
In a martial arts contest, he actually broke the spine of a senior fellow apprentice, causing him to become disabled and paralyzed.
The master put him in solitary confinement and punished him to face the wall for one year.
After fifteen days of confinement, he injured the junior fellow guarding the door and escaped from Piaomiao Peak.
Since he has great martial arts skills and is fearless, he couldn't stay at Piaomiao Peak, so he went to the world to find heaven and earth!
In order to gain fame, he specially found those with strong martial arts skills to challenge him, and won every battle he went to. This method really enhanced his reputation. This made him even more arrogant and unruly.
One day, he arrived at Qiaoluxi Bird City and asked who had the best martial arts in the city. Someone with good intentions introduced him to a martial arts fanatic named Ala Wuji.
The two were similar in age, and their martial arts skills were between the same. They both wanted to defeat the other, but they both used fierce and deadly moves. The fight between the two lasted for two hours, and in the end, Mo Xu Guyun kicked the other to death.
He also suffered internal injuries.
He traveled around the world for a year, and although he injured many opponents, he never hurt the opponent's life.
Fortunately, I had made a life-and-death contract with this martial idiot before, so I didn't end up in a lawsuit, but got a sum of money from the bet.
But the money was very hot for him to hold and he felt uneasy. He only accepted the money after learning that the other party's family was well off.
The teachings of his master and the disabilities of his classmates did not change his mind, but the death of his opponent made him feel uneasy. During his recovery period, he began to reflect on his actions and whether he was too paranoid and conceited.
From then on, he stopped looking for anyone to challenge him to martial arts competitions and returned to his hometown town.
He has been studying martial arts in Piaomiao Peak for more than 20 years, thousands of miles away, and he has never returned to his hometown once. He has even forgotten the faces of his parents.
He only remembered that he had a younger brother. When he left home, that younger brother was still in his infancy. Without this younger brother, his parents would not have allowed him to go to the mountains to learn skills.
However, when he returned to the town, what he saw was devastation, with collapsed houses and a scorched earth. The place had been looted, burned, and no one was inhabited.
At that time, the princes were fighting, and there was smoke everywhere. There might be a war somewhere, and my parents and brothers must have died tragically in the war.
He disobeyed his master, injured his fellow disciples, and was ashamed to return to Piaomiao Peak, so he decided to join the army. But he didn't know who to find to avenge his parents and brothers, so he would pursue a heroic career without losing his great ideal.
Later, he did join the military camp of one of the princes, and he spent the whole day fighting in the south and north, blocking the east and killing in the west. He was highly skilled in martial arts and knew both culture and military strategy, and he was soon promoted to the commander of one side.
The world was in chaos, and the princes were only fighting for territory instead of fighting without justice. After fighting for nearly twenty years, he gradually lost his way. He didn't know who he was working for and who he was dying for. Even the princes, kings and brothers he had taken refuge in
The time is also a fight to the death.
It was also in this confused state that he participated in a raid and rescue battle at the Allah Coast Castle and defeated an army of princes that had been besieging the city for more than a month, killing almost all of them.
This was his first achievement, so he naturally received a reward. Just when he was hesitant and satisfied, internal strife broke out among the princes, kings and brothers, and they actually started killing each other, causing this power to gradually decline.
Later, he accidentally learned from a soldier that during that raid, there was a partial general named Mo Xu Fuyun on the enemy side.
As soon as he heard that he had the same name as his brother, he quickly asked if he was dead or alive.
The soldier said that he had never seen Mo Xu Fuyun again and that he must have died in the battle. The bodies of all the soldiers who died in the battle were buried.
This news shocked Mo Xu Guyun deeply. His brother, whom he had not seen for many years and thought he had died in the war, suddenly received news, but he was massacred by his own army.
This kind of psychological trauma could not be repaired. Seeing that the situation of the princes in this area was gone, he sealed it with gold and quietly left the military camp.
He felt that no matter how high his martial arts skills were, he could not protect his family or achieve hegemony. He could just kill and kill each other blindly. How was it any different from wild beasts?
At this time, he remembered his master's teachings, that character is particularly important. He realized his mistake, thought about it, and decided to go to his master to admit his mistake.
But when he returned to Piaomiao Peak, he found that it was also in dilapidated condition, and the war had not spared this land of pure cultivation.
The master had passed away long ago, and the disciples fled in all directions. He only found the master's grave behind the mountain, cried bitterly, kowtowed and left.
From then on, he began to travel around the world, only going to the green mountains and deep valleys, not the bustling cities, only seeing the deep mountains and old forests, not visiting the strange and steep peaks. He just wanted to be with the pines and bamboos, and the birds as flocks.
Two years later, he learned that the world was unified and there was no war anymore, so he went to live in seclusion in an unknown mountain. He didn't care about the vicissitudes of the world and the changes in the court. He just wanted to live in peace and quiet in this green mountain valley for the rest of his life.
At this point in the story, Alayanzong knew that the white-haired old man was telling about his own experience.
He is Mo Xu Guyun, that Mo Xu Fuyun is his younger brother, and that martial arts idiot Ala Wuji is the master's father.
He is Master’s father-killing enemy!
This made Ala Yanzong's heart surge, and his blood boiled when he heard the story!
