Luan Ling Qixia

"I was only 12 years old that year. I was an ordinary young man from a rich family in Nanjing City. I didn't know a little bit of martial arts, and I lived a happy life. Unexpectedly, my father came back from a foreign business that day. When I got home, I told my mother to pack up the things, and the two of them took me into the carriage and left Yingtian overnight. My mother and I asked repeatedly, but my father only said that there was something at home, and that he would send me to the Tongzong in Suzhou for a period of time; but I Looking at Dad's eyes, one could tell that he was indescribably afraid. At dawn on the second day, when the carriage drove to a deserted forest, it suddenly stopped when the horse neighed. The three of us lifted the curtain and took a look. Seeing that the groom driving the carriage had already collapsed to the ground, there was a masked man in black on the carriage holding the bridle, staring at us coldly, his eyes were really sharp, like a falcon.

"I have never seen a dead person since I was born. Both my mother and I were scared out of my wits. Strange to say, my father didn't seem so scared at that time. He just sighed and said: 'It's a disaster that can't be avoided, I know Your Excellency He will definitely come to kill me. Shen Mou has nothing else to ask, he is willing to die immediately, please spare the lives of my wife and child, they don't know anything." The masked man shook his head and said: "This matter has too much to do with it. , forgive me for taking risks. I didn't want to kill women and children. If your family of three is willing to kill yourself, you won't be able to do it yourself.' Mother almost fainted when she saw that he refused to let me go.

"Father didn't look very panicked, and said: "Yes, this matter is too involved. If Shen is not dead, Your Excellency will never feel at ease. I can't blame you for being cruel in this matter. I can only blame my bad luck. Pity my Shen family in recent years. Weakness, my son is a single heir of three generations, with the only bloodline, and he must not be extinct. To be honest, Shen has already arranged his funeral before returning to Nanjing. At this moment, he is not afraid of death; , your matter will be known to the world immediately, even if you want to kill people, you don't know who to attack.'

"There was a flash of anger in the masked man's eyes, and he returned to normal in an instant. He sneered and said, "You are worthy of being a descendant of Shen Wansan. You are indeed courageous and insightful. You want me to let your son go?" Dad said: "Yes, I I just want to make a deal with you. As long as my son is safe and sound in this world, that matter will be kept secret and will never be heard from my Shen family. I know you will never allow Shen to live again, as long as you If you agree to this matter, I am willing to commit suicide immediately. My wife and children don’t know anything about it, so you can rest assured.” The masked man said, “How do I know if what you said is true or not? Killing him won't help. What's more, the sky is big and the earth is big. If you really hide your son in a place where no one can find it, wouldn't I be fooled?" Daddy said: "Shen's business is not deceitful. Death is not a pity, if you harm my beloved son, everyone will be destroyed."

"The masked man pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and poked my chest. His fingertips were still a few inches away from my body, but I felt as if an ice pick pierced my chest. My hands and feet were cold and I almost fainted. Passed away. Daddy saw that my face was pale in a blink of an eye, and even my lips turned pale. He said in surprise, "You... what are you doing?" ", at this moment, the cold poison has entered the body, and there is no second person in the world who can dissolve it. But the cold poison will only show up after a year, and as long as I help him in time to treat him, he will be able to continue his life without hindrance, otherwise the cold will The poison entered the heart and brain, and the death was horrific."

"Father listened for a long while without saying a word, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Okay! If not, you can't rest assured. It's just that the dog is young and sick, can it really last for a lifetime?" The masked man said: "Don't worry, don't worry. Sangong made great contributions to the country back then. Although I have to kill my subordinates today, I will not lie to you. It’s just that the yin and cold zhenqi in your son’s body will explode once a month. Some suffering is inevitable, but within a year, life will be safe .If you keep your word, I will live up to it." Dad hesitated and said: "After one year, you will clean up all the cold poison for my son?" The masked man shook his head and said: "What I planned This matter cannot be accomplished in a few years. After one year, I will perform meritorious deeds for your son, and I will keep him safe for three years. As long as you, the Shen family, keep your promise, I will not kill your son, and I will relieve his cold poison on time; but If the matter leaks out, the gods and bodhisattvas will not be able to save him. My yin zhenqi penetrates deep into the spleen and kidneys, and the cold poison in your son’s body will not be eradicated for a day, and it is absolutely impossible to pass on the family. You don’t need to waste your efforts. You don’t need to look for me after a year. I will knock and visit the Zunfu."

"Father was silent for a long time, and slowly said: "Okay, as your Excellency, you will not deceive me if you think about it. Quan'er, from now on you will be the master of Qianxinzhai, remember to take good care of your mother." After speaking, he suddenly pulled out the dagger at his waist and stabbed him. My mother passed out immediately, and I saw blood gurgling from my father's chest, but somehow I didn't cry out, and I didn't feel cold for a while, and sat in the car blankly. Seeing this, the masked man said: "My boy, I have a bit of courage. I don't want me to be an extra burden from now on. If you have high mountains and low waters, wouldn't it damage my big business? From now on, you have to be careful everywhere, don't Is there any stumbling block.' Immediately grabbed my mother, put me under the armpit, took the two of them still walking like flying, threw my mother and son in a nearby town, gave me some money and told me to hire a car to go back Nanjing. My mother didn't dare to report to the officials, so she secretly sent people to investigate where my father happened, but they never saw the carriage and the two corpses.

"That day, I was pointed by the masked man, and the chill subsided after half an hour, and there was no abnormality in my body anymore. But he didn't lie, and from then on, the cold poison in my body would flare up around the fifteenth of every month It wasn't very long at the beginning, but it was more severe every time. After July and August, every time it was extremely cold and painful, and it was enough to suffer for an hour or two. It was really worse than death. Looking forward to a year, That night in my sleep, I suddenly felt my hands and feet were cold, and the cold poison was about to take hold. The masked man who killed my father suddenly came in from the window and said, "My father is true to his word. I didn't order anyone to tell me about me. Come here to dispel the cold poison for you." I stretched out my hand and patted my body a few times, and I suddenly felt warm, and the coldness in my body dissipated immediately. The masked man nodded and said: "Okay, let's talk first, I will come back in three years Digest it for you." I said in shock: "Three...three years? This cold poison has been so severe in one year, how can I bear it for another three years? You...you should come here once a year." Masked Humanity: "Don't worry, you won't die. It's not a bad thing for young people to suffer a little." Before I could speak, I turned and left.
