< Two chapters in one! Eight thousand words in one! >
Xiao Xing Yun was a sly old fox. How could he not see that Han Zhan Meng was suspicious of the Xiao Family? He had been thinking about how to solve this problem for the past few days, but he had not come up with a good idea. Now that he was forced by Han Zhan Meng, he had a sudden inspiration and came up with such a reason.
It had to be said that this reason was quite reliable … after all, there was a precedent.
Han Zhan Meng was stunned and frowned. After a long time, he said, "If that's the case, Great Elder, please pay more attention to the news. If there are any abnormalities, please report to me immediately!" With that, he walked out with a heavy heart. In his heart, he was thinking: Do both of my daughters have to walk this path?
Looking up at the misty Snow Mountain Sword Peak, Han Zhan Meng's heart was in turmoil. His eldest daughter, Yan Yao, was still in seclusion up there. It was a punishment, but it was also her own choice. It had been nearly ten years now …
Han Zhan Meng let out a long sigh, and his eyes flashed with pain. Suddenly, he flew towards the Sword Peak.
However, he didn't notice that Xiao Xing Yun's sinister eyes had quietly flashed with a trace of a relieved smile. [I've finally … managed to deal with it for the time being.]
Sword Peak!
This was the key to the oath that the Dongfang Family was forced to make!
The Sword Peak collapsed! All the Xuan Beasts came out of Tian Fa!
This was the highest peak of the Snow Mountain. The whole mountain was shaped like a huge sword, piercing straight into the clouds. The lower part of the mountain was round, and the upper part gradually shrank. On both sides of the mountain, there were two mountain ridges protruding, like the two handguards of the sword. Above it was a tall and straight mountain, piercing into the depths of the sky, straight into the clouds!
This towering mountain at the top of the Snow Mountain was majestic and steep, and covered a radius of dozens of miles!
When it came to collapsing the Sword Peak and the Snow Mountain, this was an almost impossible task! How could such a majestic mountain collapse just like that?
Han Zhan Meng could not help but think of that battle and that oath. He could not help but feel sad for the Dongfang Family, from the bottom of his heart. Such an outstanding assassin family was sealed in this remote and desolate place for all eternity by a vow! Furthermore, he had no hope of making a comeback. How could he not be sad?!
According to altitude sickness, the higher one went, the more difficult it would be to breathe. This was because the higher the altitude, the thinner the air would be. This was especially true in this place. If an ordinary person came here, they would be in danger of suffocating at any time. But for these experts who were familiar with the climate of the plateau, it was not a problem at all. On the contrary, the higher one was, the denser the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth would be. This was greatly beneficial to the cultivation of Xuan techniques.
Snowflakes fluttered in the air. This was the case at the top of the Snow-capped Peak. It snowed all year round. This also caused some strange phenomena. For example, some of the mountains were hundreds of feet tall, but they were not actually that tall. Most of them were formed by the accumulation of ice and snow over the years. If there was high temperature, it was very likely that the ice and snow would turn into a gurgling stream in a few days. However, in such a snowy world, how could there be high temperature …
Han Yan Yao's seclusion cave was already very close to the top of the mountain! The temperature there was even colder, almost double the temperature at the bottom of the Snow-capped Peak. But if one were to practice here, it would be more efficient. For generations, there were many outstanding disciples of the Silver City who had secluded themselves here. But the longest period of seclusion was no more than three years. Most of them could only last for three to five months. This was because … humans were social animals. If they were to live alone, one or two days might not be a big deal. But if they were to be separated from the group for a long period of time, no one would be able to stand it. That loneliness and boredom could drive people crazy!
Especially in the last few hundred years, this place had gradually become a place where they were punished to face the wall.
But Han Yan Yao had already been in seclusion here for over ten years!
Even Han Zhan Meng, as her father, could not imagine how his daughter had endured these ten years.
The Madam and the Great Elder had tried countless times to get her to come down, but she had always refused! She refused to give a reason.
Han Zhan Meng sighed softly. Looking at the cold, dark cave, he finally stepped in.
Inside the cave, not only was it not warmer than outside the cave, it seemed to be even colder. As far as the eyes could see, it was an illusion of ice and snow. There were ice pillars and walls that were as smooth as jade everywhere. There were no mirrors, no combs, no tassel embroidered tent, and no soft bedding. As far as the eyes could see, there was nothing that could be called 'enjoyment'. Even the basic daily necessities were hard to find!
Was this really a girl's residence?
Inside the cave, on the only ice jade platform in the center, a woman in white with black hair trailing over her shoulders sat cross-legged. Her eyes were slightly closed, and her hands were quietly placed in front of her abdomen, as if she was silently practicing. There was no sadness or joy on her tranquil face, only tranquility. It was as if her whole body had melted into the ice cave, almost like she was not a living person.
Han Zhan Meng felt an inexplicable pain in his heart. Was this still the daughter who hugged his leg and begged him to tell her stories? Was this still the same carefree daughter who ran around with a face full of smiles? How could she become like this now?
"Yao 'er." Han Zhan Meng's heart was filled with mixed feelings, and he finally called out softly.
On the jade platform, Han Yan Yao suddenly heard the voice and opened her eyes slightly. Unexpectedly, her father appeared in front of her. There was a rare trace of warmth in her calm eyes, but there was still no change in her expression. "Father, it's you."
Living alone on the icy peak all year round and suffering in her heart caused her to be unable to smile. She didn't even speak much. At this moment, she had become like the snow peak that had existed for thousands of years! She refused to melt! It was rare to melt!
Perhaps, in this world, except for that person, there was no one else who could make her smile …
Facing his eldest daughter, Han Zhan Meng felt speechless for a moment.
The alienation and unfamiliarity that his daughter exuded made his heart ache for a moment, and he was speechless.
After a long time, Han Yan Yao finally took the initiative to ask, "Father, why are you here today?"
Several thoughts went through Han Zhan Meng's mind, but he suppressed them and changed the topic. "Yao 'er, there is one thing that I still don't understand. It has been a whole ten years, and until today, my doubts have not been solved. Today, I came up to have a good talk with you. "
Han Yan Yao raised her eyebrows slightly in surprise. "Please enlighten me, Father."
"When you went down the mountain, you saw the third son of the Jun Family, Jun Wuyi, and fell in love at first sight. Afterwards, I went down the mountain to see Jun Wu Yi, and to see him. In all fairness, he is indeed a good man, and can be regarded as an outstanding talent. However, in my opinion, no matter in which aspect, he is not as good as Xiao Han. I still don't understand why you made such a decision. Could it be that Jun Wu Yi is truly extraordinary? Could it be that I, your father, was mistaken? "
Han Zhan Meng said that this question had been bothering him for a whole ten years, and it was not wrong. But the biggest reason he brought it up today was because of the Great Elder's speculation. If the Great Elder's speculation was true, would both his daughters have the same fate?
Hearing the words "Jun Wuyi," Han Yan Yao's eyes flashed, and a hint of softness appeared in them. Even the cold expression on her face seemed to melt a little, but it quickly disappeared. She said lightly, "Father, is this why you don't understand? I thought you already knew about it. "
"What do you mean?" Han Zhan Meng frowned.
"In the past, Jun Wuyi was not as handsome as Xiao Han, nor was he as considerate as Xiao Han, who deliberately flattered his daughter. In terms of Xuan cultivation, he was far behind Xiao Han. In terms of family background, one was a secular official, while the other was from a super family. The difference was like heaven and earth, and there was no room for comparison. I believe that Jun Wu Yi is nothing in comparison to Xiao Han in most people's eyes. He doesn't have any redeeming qualities, "Han Yan Yao said indifferently.
"Hmm? If you understand this, then why did you …? " Han Zhan Meng did not expect to hear such words from his daughter. He thought that she would praise Jun Wuyi greatly, and that he would surpass Xiao Han in every aspect.
Unexpectedly, what came out of his daughter's mouth was very different from what he had imagined.
"Yes, in terms of external conditions, Jun Wuyi is indeed not as good as Xiao Han. This is also why I said that in the eyes of most people, Xiao Han is better than Jun Wuyi. But unintentionally, he made me feel that this is a person, and a man at that! "
Han Yan Yao's cold eyes shone with a blazing flame. "At that time, his Xuan cultivation was not high, but he often helped people, and did not seek fame or fortune. He was upright and upright, and had an awe-inspiring character! Although he was not good-looking, his heart was as broad as the sea, and he had the spirit of a man! His family may be ordinary in our eyes, but in Tian Xiang, it could be considered one of the best. But he did not have the slightest bit of extravagance, nor did he use his power to bully others! He shed his blood for his country and ideals, and at a young age, he was already a Blood General, serving the country and its people, and had an illustrious reputation! All of these were his strengths. Based on what his father knew, could Xiao Han compare to him? If Xiao Han was not born in the Xiao Family, with his aptitude and breadth of mind, what level could he have reached? "
Han Yan Yao's face showed a trace of gentle reminiscence. "Let's put aside these strengths and weaknesses for now! What I remember most is the first time we met in the Magnificent Jewel Hall. His eyes were very clear and free. "
As she spoke, she slowly raised her head and said, "Father, although your daughter's appearance is not rare, I am confident that it is enough to cause the downfall of a city! In this world, I do not belittle myself, but the number of women who can stand shoulder to shoulder with me can be counted with one's fingers. I believe you will not deny this, right? "
Han Zhan Meng nodded silently. Han Yan Yao was an outstanding beauty, and could be said to be the most beautiful woman in the Silver Blizzard City. How could he not know this? Even to this day, the title of the most beautiful woman in the city had never changed hands. He had long been used to seeing some of his disciples suddenly stare at his daughter, so how could he not know his daughter's beauty?
"But when Jun Wuyi saw me, although his eyes were stunned for a moment, he returned to normal in a very short time." Han Yan Yao's face showed a trace of a shy smile. "Then when he left, he was even more resolute, without any worries. I remember that I had a medicinal herb in my hands that he urgently needed, and he practically snatched it, shoved a roll of silver notes into my hands, and left in a hurry. At that time, I was so proud and arrogant, so I followed him. At that time, his Xuan cultivation was not even at the Gold Xuan level, so he naturally did not notice me. "
"I originally wanted to play a trick on him, but I unexpectedly found out that the reason he left in such a hurry was to treat the poison of an injured deputy general, and the medicinal herb was the one he bought from me! The deputy general was plotted against and poisoned deeply. Although the medicine was effective, he was already deeply poisoned and the medicine could no longer take effect. After taking the medicine, he was barely able to speak a few words before the poison attacked his heart and he died. At that time, Jun Wuyi was lying on his body, crying, and sucking on the injured part of his body in vain, trying to save him, but in the end, he was powerless! Father, that was the first time I saw a man cry, and I suddenly understood what it meant to be a 'brother'! "
Han Yan Yao's face was full of sorrow, "I quietly left, and when I returned, I often saw the image of him holding the corpse and crying bitterly; for the sake of a brother who was almost hopeless, and who was only his subordinate, he gave up the opportunity to be alone with me, and hurriedly returned, without the slightest bit of reluctance … After a few days, we met again, and he was sending his elder brother off to battle …"
"So, after meeting him again and again, I felt that although Jun Wuyi was not a peerless genius, nor was he a descendant of a super aristocratic family, he was a real man! In front of me, he never concealed himself; he was very honest, and very frank. "
Han Yan Yao quietly said, "What other people think, what they say, I don't care, but in my eyes, Xiao Han is a very fake person. The way Xiao Han looked at me was very intoxicated, but also full of pride. It was as if he was looking at something that belonged to him, as if I was already in his palm, but the way Jun Wuyi looked at me, was only love and respect. So, I like Jun Wuyi, and hate Xiao Han! "
Han Zhan Meng sighed deeply.
"Perhaps there is another reason … Xiao Han is the future son-in-law you all chose, and you never asked for my permission. As for Jun Wuyi, he is the man I like, and I feel that I can rely on him for life. "
Han Yan Yao's voice became more and more calm, but to Han Zhan Meng, it sounded like a daughter shouting loudly, "Maybe it was because of the ancestral teachings, or because of the friendship between the two families at that time, the marriage was decided. But after we grew up, did you all feel that Xiao Han is very narrow-minded? Do you know how many disciples have had their hands and feet broken by him just because they said a few words to me? Some of them were even his uncles and brothers. Do you know that Xiao Han is an extremely dissolute person? When he was training in Jianghu, he started to flirt with women the moment he stepped into the secular world? He is even more unscrupulous in his actions. Whenever he does not comply with his wishes, he will use forceful means, and once the other party is stronger, he will use the name 'Han Cheng', and sure enough, it is always successful! With such a character, can you just close your eyes and let your daughter marry him? Maybe you can pretend that you don't know, but I can't! "
"Of course I understand that you want to marry him, but have you ever thought about whether I would be happy if I really married Xiao Han? Xiao Han's behavior has never been a secret, do you really not know? But Father, you still did not change your mind … At that time, did you know, Father, I was actually in despair! I was completely in despair! "Han Yan Yao's eyes slowly filled with tears.
Han Zhan Meng listened in a daze, and suddenly his heart was full of regret. Even if he did not know all this, he had at least heard about it. But he had never taken it to heart. He had only thought that after marriage, things would naturally get better. Under the care of the elders of the two families, how bad could things be? Only now did he know that he had made a huge mistake!
Han Yan Yao said angrily, "Until I met Jun Wuyi. Father, I believe that any girl would choose Jun Wuyi over Xiao Han for the sake of her lifelong happiness, right? He is just a beast in human skin! "
"After the trip to Tian Xiang, the Xiao Family became even more domineering! From the beginning to the end, Jun Wuyi did not know my identity, nor did he have the slightest intention of clinging to the Silver Blizzard City! But the Xiao Family directly sent people to warn them. Was that a warning? That was a naked humiliation! They even forced me to return to the mountain; after that, they used all kinds of methods to attack the Jun Family! What crime did Jun Wu Hui commit? The God of War of a generation, an unparalleled hero, had died with injustice because of them! Jun Wu Meng was a hero, an upright man, but because of us, he died tragically in Tian Guan Lin! What's more, Jun Wu Hui's two sons also died because of this, and they were only teenagers! Jun Wu Yi had also been beaten into a cripple. The reason why he hadn't died was probably because of Xiao Han's words. He wanted to make him beg for death, but he couldn't! If it was not for me, I would have died on the spot, and the Xiao Family even planned to annihilate the Jun Family! Didn't you know all this? But did you say anything? "
"Daddy, your daughter's life has been ruined just like that!" Han Yan Yao's eyes were empty as she looked at her father. "It was because of me that Jun Wu Hui and Jun Wu Meng died. Jun Mo You and Jun Mo Chou also died when they were young … All of this is because of me! Father, if you were Jun Wuyi, would you want such a disaster? No matter how much you like this woman, your family all died because of her! Would you still accept her? Father, put yourself in her shoes, I have a conscience! People often say, what people do, the heavens watch, karma, karma, karma! But is there real justice? In this world where the fist is the strongest, justice is not in the hearts of the people, right and wrong are determined by strength! Even if there is someone who has the strength to uphold justice, but due to various reasons, he is not willing to stand up for this tragedy. How many Supremes and Superior Supremes there are in this world, as long as they stand up and say something, they can avoid this tragedy! But they did not! What can they do? What can they do?! "
Han Zhan Meng frowned in pain, looking at his daughter's sorrowful story, but he could not say a word! He felt as if something was stuck in his throat. How could he not know that when his daughter said 'someone who has the strength to uphold justice, but due to various reasons, he is not willing to stand up for it', she was talking about him?
Facing his daughter who had suffered for ten years, what could he say?
Han Yan Yao stood up slowly, her eyes filled with sadness as she looked at the snowflakes floating in the cave, and said slowly, "This cave is very cold, so cold that even I can't stand it! But I don't want to go down, I would rather stay here until I die! I don't want to go down and see those familiar faces, because it makes me sick! It makes me hate, it makes me want to kill them all! "
"They are not worthy of being human!"
Han Yan Yao said quietly, "On the first day I came here, I carved the names of Big Brother Jun Wu Hui and Second Brother Jun Wu Meng on the ice wall, and set up their divine positions! Later, I found out that my two nephews also died because of this. I … stayed here and worshiped them. There is no incense or paper money here, only me, a sinful woman, kowtowing three times a day! Other than that, I can do nothing else. I can only face them every night and sincerely say sorry to them, say sorry. I know it is meaningless, but I will still do it, accompany them like this, because I have let them down, and I will never be able to atone for it in this life! "
"Their deaths are my responsibility," Han Yan Yao's face was frighteningly calm, "and I am Jun Wu Yi's woman! I am a member of the Jun Family! Father, we don't have an official marriage. We don't even have the incense and candles. We don't even have the words of a matchmaker. But, I've already decided that I'm a member of the Jun Family. If I were to die here one day, I hope that Father can fulfill my wish and bring my remains back to the Jun Family for a proper burial! This may be the last request of a daughter to a father in this life! "
Han Zhan Meng slowly stood up and sighed to the sky. He had always thought that he would see his long-lost daughter again this time. He must have had a lot to say, but now he found himself speechless! He couldn't say anything at all.
That's right, the heavens are watching!
Those who have the power to uphold justice, for various reasons, are not willing to stand up. But what? What?!
He himself …
"Daughter, you don't have to be so pessimistic. Maybe … Jun Wu Yi will come to the Silver Blizzard City one day to pick you up when he is successful in his cultivation. As long as Jun Wu Yi has such strength, I will definitely help you two. " Han Zhan Meng took a deep breath and made a promise, "Even if I have to fall out with the Xiao Family, I will make sure that your wish is fulfilled this time!"
"Father, if you had said this ten years ago, perhaps all the tragedies could have been avoided … But now, it is too late! The tragedy has been cast, and the dead cannot be brought back to life! Even if he doesn't … I believe that he will come to the Silver Blizzard City, but not to pick me up! It is for revenge! The blood feud between the Jun Family and the Silver Blizzard City is irreconcilable! I know his temper very well. "
"The blood feud between the two brothers of the Jun Family is a sore point for him, and it is also a sore point for me! This kind of sore point cannot be eliminated! Father, that's a brother, a brother made of flesh and blood! Our Han Family and the Xiao Family are only brothers of different surnames, and we have been protecting each other for thousands of years. Not to mention that we are brothers of the same mother! "
Han Yan Yao smiled sadly and said, "Father, when Jun Wu Yi climbs the snowy mountain, my life will end on the day he arrives! I will personally go to the underworld to apologize to Big Brother Jun, Second Brother Jun, and my two nephews! "
"No! I will not allow it! " Han Zhan Meng's body trembled with fear, and he shouted sternly, "You cannot be so reckless, if you do this … how will your mother and I face it?"
"Father and Mother's shock at my passing? I am sure they will be very sad! However, Jun Wu Yi had to face the torment of having his two brothers and nephews die for him every single day and every single night of the past few years. How will he face it? Father, Xiao Han said that he would make Jun Wu Yi suffer a fate worse than death, and he has done it! I believe that Jun Wu Yi will suffer a fate worse than death for the past ten years! Much worse! "
Han Yan Yao laughed coldly, "Since he has committed a sin, he will have to pay the price! Apart from using human lives to pay this price, there was nothing else that could be used to pay this price! I only hope that the Han Family of the Silver Blizzard City won't stand on the side of the Xiao Family when that day comes. That would only add to our mistakes! "
Han Zhan Meng looked up to the sky and sighed, and he said in a low voice, "Yao 'er, you don't have to wait too long. The Jun Family has already released the news that they will attack the Silver City on the second of February this year! This news is already known to the whole world! On the second of February, they will destroy the Silver City with one sword! This is the declaration of war from the Jun Family! "
"Ah?!!" Han Yan Yao suddenly jumped up and looked at her father with wild joy. Her voice trembled as she said, "Daddy … is this real? You are not kidding me, are you? "
"Of course it's true. Do you think I'm joking when I say that foreign enemies are attacking the Silver City?" Han Zhan Meng nodded speechlessly. Looking at his daughter's happy face, he suddenly felt powerless. His own daughter was so happy that the enemy was going to attack them. The Jun Family had said that they were going to attack the whole Silver City, and not just the Xiao Family …
"Then … how strong is the Jun Family now? If they don't have full confidence, won't they be in danger? "Han Yan Yao asked worriedly.
"The strength of the Jun Family? They are … stronger than the Silver City! "Han Zhan Meng smiled bitterly," You can rest assured. "
"That's great! Don't worry, Father, Wu Yi is not someone who kills indiscriminately! Attacking the Silver City is just to take revenge on the Xiao Family. He will never implicate the innocent. I trust him on this! " Han Yan Yao's eyes were full of deep hatred, "When the time comes, I want everyone in the Xiao Family, starting from Xiao Han … to die without a whole corpse! Not even the chickens and dogs will be spared! "
"I hope so … but the Xiao Family …" Han Zhan Meng looked troubled, and it was difficult for him to say it out loud.
"The Xiao Family? What happened to them? "
"The Xiao Family … has been very strange lately." Han Zhan Meng sighed. At the top of the Sword Peak, facing only his daughter, he finally voiced out his suspicions.
"Something is very strange? What do you mean? "Han Yan Yao frowned and looked at her father.
"It is very strange. In early autumn, the Third Elder and the others signed a contract with the Seven Swords of the Silver City and went down the mountain with your sister. They still haven't come back … "Han Zhan Meng sighed," The information that was sent to me was very strange. I had already felt that something was wrong. But none of the people I sent to gather information came back. And … during this time, the Xiao Family has been paying more attention to the intelligence system of the Silver City. Almost none of the information was sent to me … So I feel very depressed, and the sense of crisis is very strong! It seemed like something bad was about to happen! This premonition is very strong! "
"The Xiao Family … for so many years, you have spoiled the Xiao Family! This is nothing new! "Han Yan Yao said calmly," Internal strife is destined to be unavoidable. No matter how deep their friendship was in the past, it couldn't resist the arrogance of being spoiled generation after generation, which led to the wild ambition of wolves! This is not something to be alarmed about. "
"What I am most worried about now is that Meng 'er went out with them. Will she …" Han Yan Yao's eyes were full of anxiety.
"The Great Elder speculated that … Meng 'er is very likely to be like you …" Han Zhan Meng shook his head, "But I feel that there is something fishy about it! Xiao Han and Xiao Feng Wu are also in the team, but they didn't come back … "
"Even if they are like me, there is nothing strange about it. Because the whole Xiao Family is just a bunch of trash! Hmm … no wonder I didn't see that bastard Xiao Han during this time. So they went out … "
Han Yan Yao paused and said seriously, "Father, you have to be careful of the Xiao Family's tricks. You can't be careless! Also … in this war, we can't let the Xiao Family be dragged into it. Since he said that he is going to take revenge, the Xiao Family's fate can be predicted. If the Han Family gets involved … the consequences will be unimaginable! "
Han Zhan Meng sighed and avoided the question. "Have you decided to stay here? The Jun Family's people will come in twenty days at most. Don't you want to go down? "
"Go down?" Han Yan Yao smiled sadly, but did not say another word. Her eyes stared blankly at the snowstorm outside the cave. Then, she quietly turned around and walked to an ice wall, standing there for a long time.
Han Zhan Meng walked closer and saw a few lines of words engraved on the ice wall: Late Brother Jun Hui's memorial tablet! Late Brother Jun Hui Wu Meng's memorial tablet! Nephew Mo You and nephew Mo Chou's memorial tablets!
Four memorial tablets!
The inscription was: Unfilial sister-in-law Han Yan Yao stands in tears!
Han Zhan Meng suddenly understood his daughter, and seemed to have touched the misery in his daughter's heart! These four names were like four mountains that had heavily pressed down on his daughter's body. They carried an ancient and desolate feeling, and had separated his daughter and Jun Wu Yi from each other.
Even if Blizzard Silver City was destroyed and the Xiao Family was destroyed, this mountain in her heart could not be removed!
Han Yan Yao's dream of a lifetime had been shattered the moment the Xiao Family had dealt with Jun Wu Hui!
There was no more hope for her to realize her dream!
She was still supporting herself to live, just waiting for revenge. Just waiting for the right time to atone for her sins! At that time, she would use her own life to atone for her sins, to express her guilt!
Was this the retribution of those who had the power to uphold justice, but for various reasons, refused to stand up for her?
Han Zhan Meng got up sadly and floated down the sword peak, full of worries …
Behind him, amidst the clouds and mist, a graceful white-clothed figure, her black hair fluttering in the wind and snow. She was currently gazing into the distance. On the face of this peerless Heavenly Fragrance, clear and cold tears slowly slid down. When they fell to the ground, they had already frozen into beads of ice. She stood there quietly, as if she had been standing at the peak of the sword peak since ancient times …
