Chapter 70: The First Life - The End of the Disaster

【Ten years of hard work will make the dam as high as the abyss of heaven.】

【The End of the Killing】

[The silkworm dies before all its silk is exhausted, and the lone goose soars proudly into the sky. ]

【Heart Silkworm Tribulation——End】

【Twenty years have passed like a day, and my life has been nothing but a journey home.】

【The Tribulation on the Return Journey——End】

[Red Polygonum, Yellow Reed, White Watermelon are crossing the river, and the withered bones are sad under the green willow bank. ]

[I don't know the old man fishing in the misty waters, but I arrogantly kill the marquis of the world. 】

【Foolish Man’s Tribulation – End】

The reminders echoed in my ears.

"I don't know the old man fishing in the misty waves, and I am so arrogant that I can kill the marquis in the world..." Song Lin sat in the hut by the river, stunned for a long time.

He had experienced so much on this journey home. Countless memories, emotions, and realizations flooded his mind like the water of the Minjiang River.

A long, long time.

He took a deep breath and suppressed his complicated emotions.

Look at the reincarnation destiny chart.

[You rebel against yin and yang, and turn the world upside down. Hand in hand with the foolish man Sun Er, you pass through the killing of your body, the crossing of your heart, and enter the journey home... You fight for a lifetime, but it is like a moment of fireworks. Finally, on the green willow embankment, you realize the skill of killing a duck with a knife, and execute Chen Guzhou, the governor of Minjiang River. One person and one duck, go home together. ]

[Evaluation in this world: The demon of destiny. ]

[The foolish man’s wish has come true, and he has obtained a wonderful fate—Qingyuan Water Eye·Ningshuang (bright yellow)]

"A strange fate with bright yellow destiny?"

Song Lin was surprised.

'Foolish Man' originally has a bright yellow fate, so there doesn't seem to be anything strange about this.

However, this piece of information made him think a lot.

"Qingyuan Water Eye..."

"What kind of place are these reverse springs near Minjiang Prefecture connected to?"

"More than 30 years ago in my previous life, there was also someone who entered the Reverse Spring with extraordinary talent... Who was he? What did he and Sun Er see in the Reverse Spring?"

"I always feel a little uneasy."

Thinking of those strange reverse springs and the weird skeleton in the Tai Sui soil, he always felt that he seemed to have narrowly escaped some major event in his previous life.

Boom~~
"What's that sound?" Song Lin suddenly stood up and listened attentively.

half an hour.

No movement was detected.

This night.

Many fishermen near Qingyuan Lake heard a strange sound.

The sound seemed to come from underwater.

It’s like... a heartbeat.

Dong~Dong~~
Bai Ping Ferry.

The incomplete skeleton was moved by someone and lay on the spring eye, shaking with the impact of the reverse spring. If someone looked closely, they would find that the dwarf-like skeleton was not human...

at the same time.

A team of carriages and horses returning from Cangzhou slowly drove into Minjiang Prefecture in the night.

In the car.

Xu Hailong sat upright with a sword across his knees.

He was listening to a report from a dwarf-like figure below.

"In the past month, the Minjiang branch has been in turmoil. The patrol team secretly dug up the Tai Sui soil... The straw raincoat man killed the branch's masters... The black street people clashed with the Second Master and injured him..."

Xu Hailong listened quietly, his face calm.

It was not until he heard that 'the Badao Sect's ghost-handed sword sealed the pavilion and chased the straw raincoat guest all night without returning' that his expression changed slightly and he said: Interesting.

Then he asked, "Any news about the hidden agent in the fish pen? Is there any strange behavior from that person?"

"There are some."

The dwarf looked up and saw that it was Hu Hengyuan, the Leiyin realm dart master beside Xu Haipeng.

He only said, "Since the young master left, the abandoned boy has been fishing every day, working from sunrise to sunset. After I arrived at Minjiang Prefecture, I took over the secret spy and kept an eye on his movements."

"It can be confirmed that no one from the gang contacted him secretly."

"Ah."

Xu Hailong lightly tapped the scabbard on his knee, wondering what he was thinking.

"but……"

At this time, the dwarf man said, "For three days, he disappeared from our sight."

"waste!"

Xu Hailong raised his brows coldly, and immediately frightened Hu Hengyuan so much that he fell to his knees.

Suddenly, Xu Hailong asked, "The man in the straw raincoat, could it be him?"

"This……"

Hu Hengyuan hesitated for a moment.

He didn't dare to say.

How could he, a small guardian of a branch temple, dare to interfere in the affairs of the family? The abandoned child was born with poor aptitude for cultivation and liked to play with words. Who didn't know that he had never practiced cultivation?
"Humph~"

Xu Hailong snorted coldly, "Go back and check him immediately."

"Sir...what's the reason?"

Hu Hengyuan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

"reason?"

Xu Hailong said coldly: "When a person is suspicious, catch him, interrogate him, and the truth will naturally come out. Why does the Giant Whale Gang need a reason to act?"

"Yes."

Hu Hengyuan lowered his head deeply and dared not refute anymore.

Xu Hailong looked at him coldly.

So what? So what if it’s not?

He has given that rubbish a month's deadline.

As long as his life was not endangered, he could give an explanation to his family and the old people who followed Xu Shenglan. As for the slight humiliation in the process, an abandoned child who lost the protection of his parents... who cared?
He just wanted an excuse to cause trouble.

Hu Hengyuan bowed, turned around and left in his nightgown.

for a long time.

Xu Hailong stroked the silkworm-patterned sword on his knee and suddenly chuckled.

"Another reverse spring has appeared... the fifth one. What secrets are hidden under Qingyuan Lake?"

No matter how.

After returning from this trip to Cangzhou, he will definitely dig out the treasure under Qingyuan Lake. Thinking of the help the team invited from Cangzhou, Xu Hailong became more and more confident.

And at this time.

Song Lin was watching the words of "the end of the catastrophe" from the fool's previous life.

He had lost consciousness before the final outcome was determined, and now he was eager to know what happened in the end.

Because of his urgency, he didn't even take a look at the complete 'Duck Killing' fate to see what kind of magical fate talent he had combined.

【It is difficult to change fate, life and death are determined by one’s heart. 】

[In the twenty years of Jianghu, you and Sun Er have joined hands to help each other, from killing yourself to the silkworm of the heart, and from the silkworm of the heart to the journey back home. The three swords of the foolish man, each sword faces his true heart, roaring in the Minjiang River, beheading the lone goose. ]

[Two people who could have soared into the sky, both ended up in the mortal world. What a pity, what a sigh...]

[On the green willow embankment, the final battle. ]

[You realized the true meaning of the Duck Killing Knife at the critical moment, "Watching birds all your life, looking up at the sky", and successfully advanced your bird watching fate to bright yellow. And you used this knife to severely injure Chen Guzhou, creating a great opportunity for Sun Er. ]

[With the flame of the soul, I lit a ray of hope for him. ]

【Sun Er's life originally had only two swords. But because of you, he swung the third sword - the way home. When his parents were alive, life still had a place to go. When his parents were gone, life only had the way home. He had truly lost everything, and only swung the sword with the only way home.】

[At that moment, his fate was also sublimated in the extreme state, laying a solid foundation for his afterlife.]

"Is that so? That's great..."

Song Lin let out a sigh and continued reading.

[Hundreds of years later, the truth has long been buried in the dust of history. ]

[Some people say... the governor of Minjiang killed the tyrant with a sword, but he couldn't bear the sadness in his heart and committed suicide with the sword. Some people say... Chen Guzhou suddenly repented at the last moment, put away his sword and floated away, hiding in the mountains and calling himself the True Foolish Old Man...]

[Some people also say that... at that time, a sword light came from the sky and transformed into a fairy god from the mountain, resolving the grudge between the two...]

[Some people also say...]

[The fisherman killed the lone goose with three knives: the killing body, the heart silkworm, and the return journey. Finally, his wish came true. His withered bones turned to ashes... In the end, they both fell under the green willow bank, and no body was left. ]

[A man, a duck, and a swordsman, on the long road of life, seem to have said everything about the word "foolishness". ]

[Only you know that this is not the case! ]

[Only you know how you mustered up your courage again and again in the midst of endless despair... Only you know how much effort you have put in...]

[The sword that kills the body, sap the heart, and finally leads to the return is actually called - courage. ]

[What really defeated Chen Guzhou was your courage! But the governor of Minjiang, the Lone Goose Swordsman, did not have the courage to face his own heart, so he lost... completely. ]

So, this is the first life I want to write about.

The first weapon.

The first regret in life.

The lesson of this life story is that no matter how powerful the enemy is, as long as we have courage, we can always see the light of hope. The duck that burned itself in the story brought the light of hope to the fisherman Sun Er.

So the first life I want to write about is not the knife, nor stupidity, but courage.

It is the fisherman's courage to face failure in life again and again and pick up the knife again and again.

Therefore, when you understand this truth, you should put away your cowardice and face the difficulties you encounter bravely.

(This is the allegorical martial arts novel in my mind - I would like to pay tribute to Mr. Gu Long with this article.)
