Chapter 98: Looks like a human but not a demon, abandoned by both humans and demons [Seeking follow-up reading]"Ok?" Song Lin was stunned for a moment. The man turned out to be an old blacksmith who had left Minjiang Prefecture long ago. The terrifyingly huge hammer on his shoulder was really disproportionate to his skinny body. And another person. "Blacksmith?" When Song Lin saw the strong man with a face as black as iron in the rain, he was stunned again. He looked at this one and then the other. The old blacksmith at Yulan Market and the black blacksmith at Black Street actually got together? “Song Lin…” Wang Menglan suddenly grabbed his hand, her face flushed as if she were revived. “The ancestral precepts say… say… Three Rivers… Nine Springs… There is… Something…” A blood-stained hand fell limply. Wang Menglan could no longer speak, but she had said what she needed to say, and she had no regrets in her life. The heavy responsibility that the Double Gun Sect had shouldered for six hundred years was now... finally handed over to a capable person through her hands. Her son...will definitely be able to complete the unknown mission left by the predecessor, a mission that even the two families who inherited the Water Eye Map have never been told of... At the last moment of life.
Wang Menglan used up her last bit of strength and tilted her head slightly to glance in the direction of Sanjiang. "I really want to... I really want to go to the Meizhou Shengdao she created and take a look at that... flourishing scenery!" She has no regrets though. But... I still have a dream. My dream is to create Minjiang Prefecture into a prosperous Meizhou Island like my idol. How can a person with dreams really want to die? Wow~Wow~~ The old blacksmith and the black blacksmith stood quietly in the rain, looking at Song Lin's silent back, and looking at Wang Menglan's eyes that were still looking towards the direction of Sanjiang before her death. Their eyes were filled with melancholy, as if they had many emotions. Three rivers, nine springs. It is a place that people yearn for, but also a place that makes people afraid, yet extremely wonderful. "Do you know my mother?" Song Lin suddenly asked a question while standing by the green willow bank. He had heard that Wang Menglan's idol was Xu Shenglan, a woman who was considered by many to be eccentric and domineering. But he didn't understand what Xu Shenglan had done back then that made so many people praise him? "know." The old blacksmith added: "Who doesn't know the famous female ruthless person in Sanjiang? It's a pity that the old man has been in seclusion for more than ten years, and at that time... she had just risen in Sanjiang." "I know what you want to ask. Xu Shenglan's death is very strange. Many people know about it, but no one dares to investigate it in detail because it will inevitably touch the sensitive nerves of the Giant Whale Gang..." "If you really want to know, you can go to Meizhou Sheng Island in Sanjiang. There should still be many old people there." "Meizhou Shengdao." Song Lin repeated the sentence over and over again. He had heard this name from many people before. Now, with Wang Menglan's words, he wanted to go and see it even more. "What about Jiuquan? Where is it?" Song Lin turned around. The three met in the rain.
Standing on the green willow embankment hundreds of meters high, looking at the rolling river below. "It is the core area where three rivers meet. Every day, the vast mountains and rivers are full of contention and bloodshed... There are the best conditions for cultivation and countless resources... There are the strongest liquor, the most crazy heroes, the most powerful underworld forces, and also the most evil underworld gangs." The old blacksmith turned and looked at Song Lin: "There are nine major river eyes there, which spew out endless water essence all day long. And Meizhou Shengdao is in the core area." "Nine springs...Nine water holes...Meizhou Shengdao..." Song Lin suddenly remembered the picture of the chivalrous woman Canglong left by Song Chengfeng. In that picture, there seemed to be nine different bright spots. He originally thought it was some kind of landmark building, but now it seems...it's actually the Jiuquan Water Eye? 'What secret does that picture hide?' Song Lin didn't think the painting Song Chengfeng gave him before his death would be so ordinary. Although many people have confirmed that it is indeed an ordinary painting. If it wasn't an ordinary painting, he wouldn't be able to lead the Giant Whale Gang. "correct." Song Lin turned around and looked at the black ironsmith, "This is..." "Master." The blacksmith snorted, his expression dissatisfied, "If you keep talking, you'll die." "Ahem~~ You little bastard, are you looking down on your master?" The old blacksmith couldn't help coughing twice, and then he shook his body, and fiercely kicked the black blacksmith's iron tower-like body. Bang~~ The black blacksmith didn't move at all, but the old blacksmith almost fell down. Song Lin quickly stepped forward and supported the old man, and asked with concern: "Master, are you okay?" "No problem, no problem." The old blacksmith straightened his back and said, "This bastard is my apprentice. He begged me to be his master..." "I don't know who asked me to become his apprentice." The black blacksmith muttered in a loud voice. "Cough cough~~" The old man couldn't help coughing again, and this time he coughed up a little blood. He waved his hand and said, "It's really not a big deal. It's an old injury, not from the swordsman of the Giant Whale Gang. But if it happens again, I'm afraid I can only rely on my apprentice for my old age!" "Thank you, Master." Song Lin thanked him solemnly. He owed a lot to his old friends Chen Ping and the old blacksmith, but now he didn't know how to repay them. Apart from his strength, he seemed to have nothing, but he was involved in many causes and effects. "Let's not talk about this anymore. There's one more thing." The old blacksmith coughed twice and his expression suddenly became serious. "You say." "Old Chen said he would come back on March 3rd this year, right?" "Yes." Song Lin's expression changed slightly. "But he broke his promise." said the old blacksmith.
"People like him will naturally not break their promises easily." Song Lin nodded. The expressions of both of them suddenly became solemn. Chen Ping is missing. A man like him would never break a promise unless he encountered difficulties. With his existence, the four ruthless men outside the blacklist... are absolutely overwhelming to the Minjiang Prefecture. Song Lin went to the Green Willow Bank alone, firstly because he was confident in his ability, and secondly because he had the old fisherman to back him up, so he had no worries. He thought the old fisherman was hiding in the dark to test his achievements during this period. But now...he really didn't come? "This shows that he really encountered difficulties..." said the old blacksmith. "There wasn't even enough time to send a reply." The black blacksmith added. The three men's faces darkened again. What kind of big thing could have happened that left Chen Ping unable to send back even a single message? this moment. Not only Song Lin was worried. Even the old blacksmith who had been with the old fisherman for decades couldn't help but feel a little worried. He cursed: "We agreed to live in seclusion together, but you ran away to be free and easy. Now you are gone, right? You are old and you are imitating young people..." "Master, we really should go." "Where are you going?" Song Lin asked. "Go to my place first, and then I'll send you away from Minjiang Prefecture. I also need to hide with A Shui and the other two for a while. The old man is gone, and we don't have the ability to resist the crazy counterattack of the Giant Whale Gang..." The sound gradually faded away on the green willow bank. After a while. The three appeared on a small boat on the Minjiang River. Rowed by the black blacksmith, they braved the wind and waves and headed for an unknown distance. Song Lin turned around for the last time to take a look at the green willow embankment that seemed like an abyss between heaven and earth, the place where he had left deep memories of his past and present lives. now. He is finally leaving here and going to a wider world. From then on, I travel thousands of miles alone, on the long road of Jianghu...the stars and the moon are in the same boat. "Master, where do you think Uncle Chen is most likely to go?" "Black Water Ocean, Deep Sword Abyss..." "What is that place?" "A magical place, a place that has attracted generations of people in the martial arts world. A peerless swordsman who shattered the void with his sword three thousand years ago, and a hegemon who has dominated the martial arts world for sixty years... the remains left behind at the peak of their decisive battle!" "The old man is there, with a lifelong enemy." The sound completely dissipated.
Tick-tock~tick-tock~~ The heavy rain gradually stopped. The crowd on the green willow bank looked at the lonely boat going away and gradually dispersed. suddenly. A series of 'tapping' footsteps were heard. The Princess of Cangzhou, with a half-veil on her face, walked to the remains of the young girl Su Yu, squatted lightly, and a short dagger slipped from her sleeve. She cut open her chest and took out an unformed blood-red seed. then. She came to Wang Menglan again, looked at her eyes which were still looking forward as she was dying, and sighed softly. Feed the blood-red seed into Wang Menglan's mouth. "You can't die. Otherwise... who else has such talent to help me clean up this mess in Minjiang Prefecture. I don't want... him to cut my face again in three years." She covered the wound on her face, and a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes. Wang Menglan on the ground suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes were as red as blood, and she stared at the sky like a dead fish. "Roar... Meow?" - Tick-tock, tick-tock~~ The cabin swayed with the waves and the oil lamp inside was dim. Song Lin sat alone on the wooden bed, quietly looking at a piece of calligraphy on the wall. It was an old piece of calligraphy that looked like it was carved with a knife. The lights are cold and the windows are dark. When the rain falls, the sound of drops is like that of a leak. The sword falls across the sky, and Lanxian looks back at the river bank. At the signature, it reads: Tianshui, Mu Cheng. "good words." Song Lin listened to the sound of heavy rain outside the boat, and imagined that a swordsman many years ago was also sitting in his position, listening to the wind and rain outside. Suddenly, he was inspired and picked up his sword to write. pity. However, he did not have the ability to compose poetry off the cuff. "Is this the martial arts world? Is it really as carefree as the rumors say, riding a horse, wielding a sword, drinking wine and traveling around the world?" He didn't know, but he already had expectations in his heart. It was three days later. In the battle of Green Willow Dike, Song Lin killed many, many people. He also got many, many horoscopes. Unfortunately, most of them were useless to him. Only three people's horoscopes were somewhat extraordinary, namely Yongjian, Banyao, and Candao. One came from Xu Hailong, the second came from Su Yu of Badaomen, and the last one was Liangping’s Candao.
He once compared the brightness of the fates of three people. In the end, it was discovered that Su Yu's half-demon fate was the brightest, followed by Xu Hailong's sword, and Liang Ping's broken sword was the darkest. It seemed that this sword, which was ranked sixth in the previous generation of Ba Dao Men, had been broken long ago... [Half-demon (Three-fate cat spirit): Looks like a human but is not a demon, both humans and demons despise each other. Born with a demonic fate, obsessed with love and hate, becomes a human when in love, becomes a demon when infatuated with love. Bright yellow fate fragment] "If you are too emotional, you will become a human being. If you are too obsessed with emotion, you will become a monster. What a weird fate!" "It's a pity that I don't have the Azure Main Fate now, and I don't dare to try it with Li Renchou again. Otherwise, I really want to see what changes will happen if the Black Lin Bird is added to this fate... I hope to meet Ye Liuyun in Sanjiang and talk to his master cough" He suddenly covered his mouth and coughed. Open your palms. Another handful of blood-red ice chips. "The cost of using the Frost Seeds is far greater than I imagined. My injuries are recovering too slowly now, and I must find some resources to heal my wounds before I can deal with the pursuit of the Giant Whale Gang..." Knock knock~~ In the dead of night, there was a knock on the door. "Sir, are you asleep?" The waiter of the passenger ship called out from outside. "What's the matter?" Song Lin asked. Get up and open the door. "Guest, did you... hear any strange noises just now?" The waiter stood outside the door, with a hint of fear in his eyes. "what sound?" Song Lin couldn't help but be slightly stunned. "It's a sound of leaking... leaking water." The waiter's teeth were chattering with fear. Tick-tock, tick-tock~~ He turned suddenly and looked at the poems in the cabin. The lights are cold and the windows are dark. When the rain falls, the sound of drops is like leaking water...
