Chapter 197 That knife became the inner demon

Outside the courtyard, the horses shook, and the coffins on the carriages also shook.

Under the setting sun, the mainly red coffin exudes a gloomy dark yellow color.

Just like all the coffins in the world, no matter how famous or successful the person inside is, he is just a dead person lying inside.

Luo Changying stared for a moment, his face suddenly brightening and darkening, and finally became calm.

He slowly sat back on the stone bench under the tree and said calmly: "Let's go to the side hall in the valley first and let people who are familiar with your junior brother say a final farewell to him. Then tomorrow we will go to the back mountain to find a piece of Feng Shui good land."

Let’s bury him somewhere.”

"Ah?" Xu Lingfeng, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly looked up and saw the calm master, a little unbelievable.

The master calmly dealt with his favorite apprentice like this?

Don’t ask about the reason, don’t ask about the aftermath, and don’t even mention revenge?

Xu Lingfeng is hard to understand.

"Why, do you need me, an old guy, to dig his grave myself?" Luo Changying glanced at him and said expressionlessly.

"Don't dare!" Xu Lingfeng quickly lowered his head.

Luo Changying looked at him for a long time before sighing: "Let him rest in the side hall first, and then you can come back to me."

"Yes, master!" Xu Lingfeng didn't dare to say anything anymore, got up, exited the yard, set up the carriage again and left.

Sitting quietly on the stone bench, Luo Changying quietly listened to the sound of the carriage leaving until the sound became inaudible.

After a long time, he raised his head, a trace of sadness flashed across his calm face, and sighed: "Zi Qian, Zi Qian, what should I do?"

He seemed to think of that afternoon a few years ago, when the sun was setting and the sky was filled with red clouds.

When he went to meet friends in Mengjun County, he saw Shi Ziqian fighting with others on the street.

Although Shi Ziqian was a teenager, his martial arts skills were not high and his skills were relatively immature, but Luo Changying discovered his talent for sword practice.

This is a boy born with sword bones!

It’s just that the place in Mengjun was left in ruins because it lacked skilled masters and strong martial arts skills.

At that moment, Luo Changying was moved to cherish his talent, and without thinking too much, he accepted him as his disciple and brought him back to Luoshen Valley.

Shi Ziqian is also very ambitious. After arriving at Luoshen Valley, his cultivation level has improved by leaps and bounds in just a few years, and his Nine Heavens Luohe Sword is even more extraordinary, and he has developed some minor skills.

Why does everyone say that Shi Ziqian is his favorite disciple, Luo Changying?

What he loves is the hope and light of kendo.

Luo Changying even felt that the opponent's talent in swordsmanship was higher than his own. Although he was older when he started, his training speed caught up with many geniuses in the valley.

If nothing unexpected happens, Luo Changying feels that he can gain the power of the force before he is thirty, as long as he can practice in the valley with peace of mind, immerse himself in the way of swordsmanship, and not be infected by foreign objects.

Unfortunately, things in the world are unpredictable, and changes in his family still confused Shi Ziqian's mood. When he had not achieved great success in martial arts, he walked out of Luoshen Valley and finally fell outside.

"Everything is fate!" Luo Changying's eyes were dark.

Shi Ziqian's death not only caused him to lose his favorite disciple, but also caused Luoshen Valley to lose a swordsman genius.

This loss is really heartbreaking!

Luo Changying looked up at the sky. The sun had completely set over the mountains to the west, and the sky was getting dark.

It's getting dark.

He lowered his head again and meditated.

I don’t know how long it took until Xu Lingfeng returned to the courtyard again and the sound of rustling footsteps woke him up.

Looking up again, night falls, and the scene in the valley is completely blue and black.

The night wind blew, carrying the unique coolness of the deep valley, lifting his hair.

"Master!" Xu Lingfeng knelt down at Luo Changying's feet again.

"Get up and speak. Don't kneel down all the time. A warrior swordsman should have a will and spirit as unbreakable as a sword." Luo Changying said dissatisfiedly.

"Master, my disciple doesn't dare!" Xu Lingfeng shouted sadly, "It's my useless disciple who left Junior Brother Zi Qian outside. I have betrayed the great trust of the master who ordered the disciple to take care of him! Master, please punish me.

!"

Xu Lingfeng was really sad. He spoke sincerely, his voice was hoarse, and he shed tears.

Luo Changying glanced at him and said helplessly: "For those who practice martial arts, how can they never get into trouble when they travel around the world? Today you can kill others, but tomorrow others can kill you. Generals will inevitably die in battle, and Jianghu disciples will always be old.

No one can avoid it!"

"But..." Xu Lingfeng looked sad, "Master, that is Junior Brother Zi Qian, your favorite disciple! Aren't we... going to avenge him?"

He heard his master's attitude of looking down upon everything.

Xu Lingfeng's return this time was not just to bring back a corpse. He needed some support from Luoshen Valley to avenge Shi Ziqian.

If even his own master doesn’t want to avenge his apprentice, what should he do?

Luo Changying took a deep look at him and sighed: "Lingfeng, you came back late."

"Chi?" Xu Lingfeng was puzzled, "Master, what does this mean?"

Luo Changying smiled bitterly and said: "Today at noon, the owner of the valley called me over and said that the Governor of Liangzhou sent us a letter to Luoshen Valley. The letter asked us whether Luoshen Valley should flout the laws of Dayao and condone them.

The disciples in the valley went to attack and kill the people in the imperial yamen!

"The Governor of Liangzhou also said in the letter that this matter will never happen again! If he does it again, it will be regarded as insulting the imperial court, and they will not be polite anymore!"

"What?" Xu Lingfeng was shocked and his voice became louder, "Master, the incident happened in Qingcheng, and the governor of Liangzhou is in Yuncheng. How could he make such a fuss about this matter?"

Luo Changying sighed and said: "We have inquired about this matter through channels in Luoshen Valley. It is said that it was the idea of ​​the Liangzhou governor, who encouraged the Liangzhou governor to come forward. Facts have proved that the Liangzhou governor also felt that this matter was an insult to the court's face.

We don’t hesitate to question our valley owners for this.”

Xu Lingfeng was angry: "Master, they are threatening us in Luoshen Valley! Should we just let it go?"

"Then what do you want?" Luo Changying asked back.

"I..." Xu Lingfeng was speechless.

Although he does not have much experience in martial arts, he is in the holy land of martial arts and his knowledge is extraordinary.

In the eyes of martial arts people, the holy land of martial arts is a lofty existence with incomparable prestige. However, in the eyes of the senior officials of the imperial court, it is a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh, and they can't wait to get rid of it.

It's not just the guards who are watching them, but the local feudal officials have also been carrying out the will of the royal family, targeting and suppressing the martial arts forces.

The governor of a state, with a second-grade official rank, can also mobilize large armies, and even Luoshen Valley does not dare to take it lightly.

Under the influence of thousands of troops, the top masters of the Nine Realms have to hold their noses and turn around and leave, let alone a sect that has a sect that cannot be moved away.

Luo Changying said in a deep voice: "What our Valley Master means is that the face of Governor Liangzhou cannot be directly affected. You also know that these few years are the critical time for our Valley Master to attack the Nine Realms. We must not leave."

An accident."

Xu Lingfeng was dissatisfied: "Master, this is how the hatred of junior brother is settled?"

Luo Changying's face darkened, and he said in a low voice for a long time: "If you want to blame me, blame me for not being useful. If I were in the ninth realm, the Governor of Liangzhou would probably kill your junior brother, let alone write a letter to question him.

Send them over and let us dispose of them!"

"Master!" Xu Lingfeng's eyes turned red.

Luo Changying obviously said that he was useless, but in fact he was making fun of himself for the entire Luoshen Valley.

Luoshen Valley has a reputation as a martial arts holy land, but in fact it has been relatively low in recent years, just because everyone knows that they have not been a master of the Nine Realms for many years.

As for the top masters of the Nine Realms, even the imperial court has to pay three points of respect.

The imperial court is not afraid of the Holy Land, let alone the large number of their disciples, because the Holy Land is in a fixed place and cannot escape; and no matter how many people there are, can they outnumber the thousands of soldiers and horses of the court?

What they are afraid of is the kind of extremely high-ranking master in the Nine Realms who can't be easily killed!

Once you are targeted by a master of the Nine Realms, even if you are Emperor Yao, you will not be able to sleep peacefully in the deep palace.

Seeing Luo Changying's lonely face, Xu Lingfeng couldn't help but feel sad and sobbed: "Master, please drive me out of the door!"

"What did you say?" Luo Changying was shocked.

Xu Lingfeng gritted his teeth and said: "As long as the disciple is no longer a disciple of Luoshen Valley, going to seek revenge from Chu Tang is just a personal matter and has nothing to do with Luoshen Valley anymore."

Luo Changying looked at Xu Lingfeng in disbelief and said: "Lingfeng, this is not worth it! Ziqian is gone, do you want me to lose you too?"

Xu Lingfeng kowtowed and said: "Master, if you ignore this matter and let Luo Shen Valley lose its prestige, then you... will really make your colleagues in the world laugh at you. I cannot stand by and watch you suffer this insult!"

"Lingfeng..." Luo Changying sighed, "I have been laughed at for more than a day or two. Do you think I don't know the name of the second oldest child in a thousand years? I have been here for the past twenty years, and I am old.

Are you afraid of a laugh or two?"

"But the apprentice cannot let the master suffer such humiliation! Others will only say that the apprentice of Luoying Shenjian is unworthy!"

Luo Changying said angrily: "Are you saying this to drag your senior brother into trouble? If you go to avenge your junior brother, will your senior brother also come forward? Otherwise, how will others see him?"

"Disciple doesn't dare!" Xu Lingfeng was frightened.
