Volume 18: The Third Master's Sword Chapter 454: This is it
It's winter again.
This was the most depressed time in Liuquan City. The streets were cold and deserted.
But at this moment, someone in Liuquan City actually started setting off firecrackers and dancing dragons and lions. The whole street was filled with people coming and going, all heading in one direction.
People were not afraid of the cold wind and all walked in one direction against the winter wind.
"Hey, man, why are you out too?"
"Hahahahaha, I'm in a good mood today, so I came out for a walk!"
"I picked up a string of firecrackers and set them off to add to the festive mood."
“…”
Su Weiyun had just entered the city gate and looked at the noisy, festive and joyful scene of Liuquan City. He felt a little dazed and thought he had come to the wrong place.
But when he saw those familiar faces, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
"Excuse me, what happened? Why are you all so happy?"
Su Weiyun had changed his clothes and wore two swords on his waist. He came in exhausted, and the man did not seem to recognize him as the storyteller from before.
"Hahaha, you are a foreigner, so of course you don't know that we have a greedy and evil county magistrate here. Haha, he is finally dead!"
“I am so happy!”
As the man spoke, he trotted forward and caught up with the dragon dance team in front, cheering together.
Su Weiyun laughed and said, "So the death of County Magistrate Gou is something worth celebrating!"
He followed the crowd, squeezed through the streets and alleys, passed one familiar place after another, and finally came to Yuelai Inn.
The shopkeeper had been replaced by the scholar. He no longer read the old, yellowed book every day because he had never wanted to take the imperial examination.
His favorite was the Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art, not the Four Books and Five Classics. His ideal was to live a peaceful and stable life, not to become a high-ranking official.
It was just that his mother always wanted him to take the imperial examination, and he had no choice but to disobey his mother's orders in order to fulfill his filial duty.
The waiter was also serving, but he was not alone. There was also a pretty, petite girl with him.
That was his newly married wife. On his wedding day, it was Su Weiyun who wrote the wedding couplets and sang the wedding song for them.
Su Weiyun didn't find it strange that these people were here.
The strange thing is that the little girl is here too.
The little girl immediately saw Su Weiyun standing at the door and looked out. She was stunned for a moment and shouted, "Big brother is back!"
"Why are you all here?"
The inn was busy preparing the meal, and soon the delicious food was served. There were eight dishes and one soup in total, which was considered a very sumptuous meal.
The waiter explained to Su Weiyun: "You don't know, what happened a few days ago was really gratifying! We are celebrating!"
"I don't know who Magistrate Gou offended, but his entire family was wiped out overnight. From him to his legal advisor, wife, and maids and servants, they were all killed!"
The scholar laughed and said, "Only one vicious dog escaped and luckily survived. But after returning, it ate their bodies until only bones were left!"
Several people sat down and enjoyed a celebratory lunch.
The little girl also said: "I heard Jia Huo said that County Magistrate Gou secretly kept an ancient sword, and was targeted by a bandit. The bandit was really ruthless... You did a great job in upholding justice!"
Su Weiyun smiled and said, "Evildoers will be punished. I believe that after hearing his story, the new county magistrate will also be a good county magistrate!"
As they were eating, the scholar suddenly asked, "Brother Su, you came back this time..."
Su Weiyun said: "I'll come back to spend two years of leisure time, and then I'll leave when it's time to leave."
No one knows when it is time to leave, but people will always part ways, and parting is for a better reunion.
…
Four years have passed.
The world is still the same world.
After going through four seasons, four springs, summers, autumns and winters, Liuquan City has seen the coming and going of the mornings, the growth and withering of trees, the changing clouds and mists, and has finally returned to its original appearance.
Xiao Er and his wife had two children, a boy and a girl, both very cute;
The scholar did a good job as a shopkeeper . After burying his mother last year, he opened another big store in Jiangnan and often came back to drink.
Pang Da got into a fight with a young man from a village outside the city because he raised the price of manure water. He was beaten so badly that he could no longer do manual labor.
Jia Huo gave up his previous trade and became a storyteller. He asked scholars in Jiangnan to copy down some stories and send them to him through others when they were free. After he adapted them, his storytelling was still interesting, although not as good as Su Weiyun's.
The young lady of the Liu family lost her husband and became a widow, so she ran away with a successful candidate in the imperial examination. The head of the Liu family was also angry to death after Li Anzi was killed and the young lady disappeared.
The Liu Mansion soon collapsed; the housekeeper became so poor that he went mad; the servant had his leg broken for stealing.
It seems like everyone has the ending he deserves.
What is Su Weiyun's ending?
Who could have predicted it?
The sun is warm and its sunshine makes people feel happy.
Su Weiyun was walking on the street. Suddenly, he stopped and quietly felt the changes in his body.
He murmured, "After four years, I finally comprehended the Zen method of Kurong thoroughly and threw it away completely."
One withers and then flourishes, one is born and then dies.
The reason why Su Weiyun came back was to witness the process of "from withering to flourishing".
How can the growth and decline of a tree compare to the growth and decline of a city, the growth and decline of a lifetime?
Su Weiyun took another step slowly. With every step, the true energy in his body was flowing unsteadily, hovering and turning, and the yin and yang transformed into each other, from yin to yang, and from yang to yin.
His face suddenly became younger and more radiant.
"It's just that I don't know when I can give away this wedding dress."
His last step landed right at the door of Yuelai Inn.
Su Weiyun looked up at the sign of Yuelai Inn, then looked at the sword at his waist, and said with a smile: "I should go."
In Yuelai Inn, Jia Huo was standing on a small platform, talking excitedly and spitting everywhere.
The little girl suddenly saw Su Weiyun in the crowd.
She seemed to have heard what Su Weiyun said, and ran out in a hurry, asking, "Big brother, are you leaving?"
"Yes, big brother is going to a very far place."
"But my elder brother hasn't told me those nameless stories yet."
"Well, there was once a man called Xiaoyun. He was always accompanied by a little girl. They told stories together and were a very good team. That's the end of the story."
"The little girl doesn't have a name either?"
"What name would the little girl like?"
"My last name is Murong, and my name is Murong Jiu!"
Su Weiyun was suddenly stunned and stood there in a daze, not knowing what expression to make.
The little girl laughed happily and said, "Hahahaha, I was kidding. I've heard you tell the story of Sister Murong Jiu. You praised her to the point that she was the best in the world. I will definitely not be worse than her when I grow up!"
Su Weiyun touched her head and said, "When I return the Changsheng Sword, maybe I can let you see her."
"Really?"
"real!"
…
The top of Cuiyun Peak.
Su Weiyun waited for a long time this time, until late autumn, when Gu Xian finally appeared.
Gu Xian said: "Have you decided? Where are you going? A big thing happened in the martial arts world over there. I may not have time to take care of you for a long time, so you have to think it over carefully."
Su Weiyun pondered for a moment and said, "I have to go to the Seven Weapon Planes again to return the Sword of Immortality to Bai Yujing, is that okay?"
Gu Xian suddenly showed a very strange expression in his eyes, and said: "You have been away from the Seven Weapons Plane for ten years. You actually returned to the 'Legend of Lu Xiaofeng' Plane."
"oh?"
Su Weiyun had expected this, so she was not surprised.
Gu Xian said: "But you have to know that because of your arrival, everyone has changed subtly, and the place may be very different now."
"Although you have been promoted to a god, it may still be dangerous for you there!"
"Not there, but here."
Su Weiyun said this lightly.
His meaning was also very clear.
