Chapter 83 Oops, the vests are all off
Doctor Yu’s courtyard is at the easternmost end of the village, and can greet the first rays of morning light every day.
Bai Xun's house is located at the westernmost end, catching the last rays of sunset every day.
Inside the house, Bai Xun placed the Dragon Roar Blade against his leg, and wiped the blood stains off the blade bit by bit with his left hand.
Bai Wuqian and Bai Yue sat on the small wooden stools opposite, washed the stains off their faces, and were concentrating on chewing two roasted sweet potatoes.
"...That's how we got here. I didn't expect to escape death and meet my second brother."
With a sweet potato in his mouth, Bai Wuqian briefly explained to Bai Xun why he and A Yue came here.
He asked Bai Xun impatiently:
"Second Brother...what exactly happened back then?"
Bai Yue chewed the sweet sweet potato without saying a word, but her red eyes were fixed on Bai Xun's broken right arm.
She remembered that her second senior brother was an excellent swordsman. He practiced swordsmanship every day and his arms were strong and powerful. When she was a child, she would hang on his right arm and play.
But now...
"Second Brother, have you suffered a lot?" Bai Yue felt that the sweet potato in his mouth was a bit bitter.
Bai Xun wiped the Dragon Roar Sword clean, and the shiny blade reflected his face, which was already nearing middle age.
His eyebrows were slanted and sharp, there were wrinkles on his forehead and between his eyebrows that could not be straightened out, and there was a circle of black beard on his chin.
He looks very serious and distant, and not easy to get along with.
But that wasn't his character before.
When he was young, he had a very good personality and loved to laugh. He was the second most popular senior brother in Longyin Sect.
His fellow junior students all liked to play with him, and if they made any mistakes that made their master angry, they would quickly come to him for help.
The master said that his comprehension was very good, even better than that of his senior brother Baihe. He was the one who could carry forward the Dragon Roar Sword Technique.
Before the master went out with his eldest brother Bai He, he asked Bai Xun to take charge of the daily affairs of Longyin Sect and gave the Longyin Sword to Bai Xun for safekeeping.
But who would have thought that when the master came back, he had been poisoned by the Lingdong Sect and fell into a coma.
Bai Xun was full of rage at that time, holding the Dragon Roar Sword, and charged into the Lingdong Sect alone.
The Dragon Roar Sword has the power to split mountains and break clouds, and its sound is as fast as wind and thunder.
Bai Xun dealt a heavy blow to the Lingdong Sect with just one man and one sword.
But at the most critical moment, the eldest senior brother Bai He walked out from behind the Lingdong Sect and gave Bai Xun the most unexpected blow.
At that moment, Bai Xun finally understood why his always cautious master had been poisoned outside.
He angrily asked Bai He why he betrayed his master.
Bai He's eyes were filled with hatred, and he said to him:
"It's all your fault! If you hadn't snatched the Dragon Roar Blade from Master, how would I have ended up like this? It's all your fault! Bai Xun, you forced me to do all this!"
It rained heavily all day that day, and the endless rain was like a river flowing from the sky.
The Dragon Roar Sword roared wildly in the blood and rain, and Bai Xun waved his hand, shaking the mountains and fields.
When Bai Xun left Lingdong Sect that day, he looked like a ghost crawling out of the underworld, covered in blood.
He killed Bai He and destroyed the Lingdong Sect, but his right arm was chopped off.
Bai Xun fainted in the mountains due to serious injuries and was rescued by a hunter.
When his injuries healed a little, he said goodbye to the hunter and returned to Longyin Sect with a body that could barely stand, only to find that his master had passed away.
The disciples of Longyin Sect have already found their own ways out.
But he, with the gate's precious sword, didn't even have the strength to swing it.
He is a useless person with nowhere to go.
He spent several years in a daze, until he accidentally went to Lingnan and went to Black Bandit Mountain, and then everything began to change.
"I was too impulsive back then. If I had come up with a more rational approach, or if I had noticed Bai He's ulterior motives earlier, perhaps Master wouldn't have died."
When Bai Xun thought about what happened several years ago, the wrinkles on his forehead deepened.
Many times, when he looked at Hao Ren strategizing, he would think that if he had Hao Ren's personality back then, everything might have been different.
So he especially protected Hao Ren and the brains of the Black Bandit Mountain.
But I can't be too absolute. Although Village Chief Hao never said it, he looked like he had suffered a great disaster...
After Bai Wuqian and Bai Yue learned the truth of what happened from Bai Xun, they sighed repeatedly.
"Second Brother, what are your plans for the future?"
Bai Xun: "As you can see, I have already taken root here, and from now on I will stand side by side with the Good Citizen Village. What about you two? What are your plans?"
Bai Wuqian and Bai Yue looked at each other.
Bai Yue: "Second Brother, since we can meet you here, it must be fate's arrangement. We have nowhere else to go right now, can we also stay here?"
Bai Xun nodded and said, "I will talk to the village chief about this matter. The village is in need of manpower right now. If you are willing to contribute to the village, it should be no problem."
Bai Wuqian glanced outside the door with a vigilant look and said in a low voice:
"Second Brother, I think this mountain village is a little different. Besides you, there seem to be quite a few people who know Kung Fu..."
As Bai Wuqian was speaking, he heard a noise outside.
It sounded like someone was chasing, or like a fight.
Bai Xun frowned, then immediately picked up his knife and walked out, followed by Bai Wuqian and Bai Yue.
As soon as I went out, I saw the one-eared old man Qin running very fast. His back was no longer hunched, and his hair and beard were blown up by the wind.
Elder Zixuan of Zixiao Palace chased after Old Man Qin, brandishing his sword and cursing as he went:
"Qin Jian, you old fool, you haven't finished digging up my ancestors' graves yet!"
Old man Qin shouted without turning his head:
"I didn't steal anything from your family's ancestral tomb. It was robbed a long time ago! I was the one who put your great-grandfather back into the coffin. I even patched up the big hole that was robbed!"
"Bah! You were the one who dug that big thief's hole!" Elder Zixuan pursued him relentlessly.
Elder Zixuan is also over seventy years old and is the oldest elder in Zixiao Palace.
Their Zixiao Palace was seized by the government and their vitality was damaged on the battlefield, so they had no choice but to drift here.
Elder Zixuan really didn't expect that he would meet his mortal enemy from his youth here.
When he was young, Elder Zixuan loved to show off a bit. When he was still a disciple, he said that his family was wealthy and his ancestors had been rich for generations. He did not care about the fame, wealth and fortune that were like clouds in the world, and only wanted to practice the swordsmanship of Zixiao Palace.
As a result, Qin Jian, the man with superb hearing, came to dig up his ancestral grave in the middle of the night.
The two fought several times until Shunfenger suddenly disappeared from the world one day.
Old Man Qin ran past the gate of Bai Xun's courtyard, bringing up a gust of wind that blew open the corner of Bai Xun's clothes.
Bai Xun was about to stop them when he saw Grandma Qiu running over in a hurry:
"Xiao Xun! Quick! Let me hide! Let me hide!"
Grandma Qiu is usually leisurely and this is the first time Bai Xun has seen her so anxious.
She was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead and she kept wiping it with her hands.
As soon as Grandma Qiu stepped into Bai Xun's courtyard, a figure flew in and staggered to the ground.
Ni Tianji, the former leader of the Kamikaze Pavilion, stood in front of Grandma Qiu, his eyes full of affection and stubbornness:
"Aqiu, it's you, isn't it you?"
"I just ate a piece of fried pork skin in the kitchen. As soon as I took a bite, I knew it was you who made it!"
"Aqiu, do you know that I have been looking for you all these years?"
Grandma Qiu stopped wiping her sweat, and her hands, hidden behind her back, were shaking a little:
"This hero must have made a mistake. I'm just a village old woman in my seventies or eighties. How could I recognize someone of your stature?"
