In the Qingming Festival, the wind is gentle and the willows are soft, the apricot blossoms are lightly raining, and the spring is cold and cold.
In the Yizhang Pavilion, Xue Luo and Wen Liu were playing chess. There are only a few spaces left on the chessboard, and black and white are evenly matched. Every time they make a move, the two of them have to think carefully and play the game for a long time.
Suddenly a boy wearing a raincoat opened the rain curtain and hurried over. He saluted outside the pavilion, lowered his head and said, "Master! The young lady has given birth!"
The world was silent. It was raining heavily, and no one paid attention to the boy. The slanting wind and drizzle were charming, and the people in the pavilion did not respond for a long time. The boy had to muster up the courage to raise his head and shout again: "Master! The old lady invites you to go home and reunite."
"Pa", Xue Luo raised her hand He put down the white piece in his hand and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Boy or girl?" Fu picked up another white piece, held it between his two fingers and rubbed it back and forth.
"Boy." The boy replied.
"Haha, I got a man in one fell swoop! The old lady's wish has been fulfilled. There is a successor to the Ding family, so why are you looking for me? You go back." Xue Luo flicked her sleeves and signaled the boy to leave.
"But..." The boy still wanted to persuade.
"I have made up my mind." Xue Luo suddenly stood up, her white clothes fluttering, walked into the rain, and stared at the boy condescendingly, "If you answer truthfully, the old lady will not blame you."
Looking at the back of the boy who left in anger, Wen Liu dropped a sunspot and said loudly: "It's been half a year since that incident, and you still want to quarrel with your family?"
Xue Luo turned around. As he sat down, his hair and white robe were covered with fine raindrops, casting a hazy halo around his whole body, as if he would immediately fly away.
He didn't answer and just kept to himself. Hearing Liu's sigh, the two of them concentrated on fighting on Qipan Mountain.

Ding Mansion.
"He refuses to come back?" The woman sitting on the main seat had a beautiful face, her eyebrows were raised high, and her head was full of pearls as she spoke.
"Yes." The boy knelt on the ground, still wearing his hat.
"You traitor!" Mrs. Ding slapped her palm on the table, and several cracks appeared on the tabletop. She stood up and walked to the door, when the wooden table behind her suddenly collapsed. Mrs. Ding looked at the flowers in the garden outside the door and murmured: "Are you really so heartless that you don't even want to take a look at your own child?"
The servants were happy and walked lightly, Everyone is happy to have a little life in their house. Bystanders can do this, but the authorities run away. What a big joke!
"Mom, is Xue Luo back?" Xue Xin, who had fainted due to childbirth, slowly woke up. The sweat on her hair had not dissipated, and the wet strands of hair were stuck to her forehead and neck. Appearing haggard.
Mrs. Ding looked at Xuexin and her grandson sleeping soundly in the cradle for a while, and made a decision in her heart. Ding Xueluo, I can force you the first time, and I can also force you the second time.
"Luo'er will come back to reunite with our family in a few days." She smiled softly, and her raised eyebrows became much smoother.

Luoxue Pavilion.
Hearing that Liu Xingxing was in a hurry, he went straight to Xue Luo's room. As soon as he opened the door, he approached Xue Luo and said, "Liu Jiang has been very close to various sects recently, and I'm afraid he will take action."
"Oh?" Xue Luo was reading a book Chess Record, didn't pay attention to Wen Liu's words, and didn't even raise his head.
"Xue Luo!" Wen Liu was anxious, snatched the chess record from Xue Luo's hand, and said seriously, "He may be heading for your house. Your father Ding Jian went around talking to People talk about swords and make countless enemies. Now that you haven't been home for a long time, there are only women, children and young people left in the Ding family. This is a good opportunity for them to attack. "
"My family?" Xue Luo thought about these two. He suddenly raised his eyebrows, raised his eyes to meet Wen Liu's anxious eyes, and smiled: "Don't worry, Mrs. Ding is so powerful that she can naturally handle these things."
" You!" Wen Liu punched the cotton, his teeth were itching with hatred. The emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuch was.
"When the time comes, don't regret it for the rest of your life!" He dropped the words viciously, and Wen Liu walked away in a puff of his sleeves. It’s okay if this bad guy doesn’t do it!
"I have set up the chessboard in Yi Zhang Pavilion, why don't you play a game?" Xue Luo stretched out her hand to persuade him to stay. When she saw Wen Liu's back disappearing around the corner of the corridor, she had a slight smile on her face. He lowered his eyelids and sat motionless in the shadows.
"Come here!" After an unknown amount of time, Xue Luo summoned some of the best men in the pavilion and asked them to monitor every move of Ding Mansion and Liu Jiang respectively.
And he himself went to the garden and sat there all night facing the moon.
04
In a blink of an eye, the day when the young master of the Ding family was full moon came. The Ding family did not plan to have a big banquet for the guests, so they just closed the door and had a good time. The news spread like wildfire, and a large number of heroes from the world of martial arts poured into the mansion one after another. They all said that they were lucky enough to be taught swordsmanship by the hero Ding Jian. Now that their old friend has passed away, they should give their full support to the Ding family to establish a foothold in the world to repay the favor of the hero Ding. of grace.
Mrs. Ding and Master Ding came from the same sect. She was also able to use superb swordsmanship when she was young. She had seen strong winds and waves, so she was naturally calm and calm, and her posture was just right, and she arranged all the guests properly.
The Ding Mansion was full of people, enjoying themselves, and it was so lively. After drinking and eating, there was a handsome man stroking his beard, looking around, and said blankly: "I heard that the young master of the Ding family is a dragon among men, and his swordsmanship is even higher than that of his father. I wonder if you can open my eyes today." ? "
One stone stirs up a thousand waves, and everyone is dissatisfied with every word.
"Huh? I've been here for a long time and I haven't seen Master Ding yet. He didn't even show up on such an important day. Even though we are careless and kind-hearted, we came to congratulate him, but he didn't even see his guests. Master Ding How can we teach such descendants?”
“It’s really outrageous!”
“How can this be done?”
…
< p> Some people fanned the flames, while others added fuel to the flames, making the crowd excited.05
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Mrs. Ding also saw clearly that the purpose of these people was to cause trouble. He wanted to take action but was afraid of being outnumbered, so he took on the attitude of a venerable and raised his voice and said: "My late husband has been away for two years. I feel deeply that my martial arts skills are not good enough and I am unable to inherit his father's mantle, so I retreat every two months. You are here today. Unfortunately, Quanzi happened to be in seclusion to learn swordsmanship."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a cold voice coming from outside the door: "Everyone, the young master of the Ding family is not in the house. Everyone has revenge and grievances. Complain." The person who came was none other than Liu Jiang.
"Is it you?" Mrs. Ding shouted angrily.
"We meet again, Su Siniang." Liu Jiang called her by her name without changing her expression. "The revenge of one sword back then must be avenged today."
"My general is defeated!" Mrs. Ding glanced sideways at him with disdain.
"Defeat? When you and your wife beat me with two swords, did you gain glory?" Liu Jiang stepped forward step by step, the anger in his eyes bursting out, "Now that you can't sing alone, so what?" Is it my opponent? I will get back everything I lost today." After that, Liu Jiang drew his sword and came over. Seeing this, Mrs. Ding dodged away, opened her outer robe and hairpins, and pulled out the soft sword from her waist. Dressed in a smart outfit, except for a few white hairs in her hair, she is still the same Su Siniang who killed everyone in the past.
The two flew to the roof and struck each other with their swords. Attack Liujiang, Mrs. Ding defends. After going back and forth for more than a hundred rounds, Mrs. Ding could never find a chance to turn her defense into an attack, and she gradually fell behind.
The courtyard was already in chaos, and the guards were struggling with the rough men.
The last servant fell to the ground, and a group of people rushed into the backyard aggressively, intending to eradicate the weeds. When Mrs. Ding saw this, she secretly thought something was wrong and wanted to get out and stop him. Without paying attention, Liu Jiang's sword penetrated his right shoulder. He turned his hand, and the sound of broken bones fell clearly into his ears.
Mrs. Ding was in pain, and the soft sword in her hand slipped. The victory or defeat was decided. Liu Jiang laughed: "I said, you can't defeat me alone."
After that, he drew out his sword and prepared to deliver a fatal blow.
06
"She can't win, what about me?" A strong palm wind came from behind. Liu Jiang hurriedly raised his sword and turned around to block it, only to take a few steps back.
Liu Jiang raised his head and saw a young man in white staring at him with a half-smile, which made his scalp tingle.
"Luo'er, you are finally willing to come back." Mrs. Ding put her left hand on her right shoulder and looked at Xue Luo with a knowing smile, tears glistening in her eyes.
"You are really ruthless, using yourself as a trap." Xue Luo didn't look at her, but said sarcastically.
Liu Jiang's mind was spinning rapidly, and he quickly added: "The most poisonous woman's heart, if it weren't for her, how could I..."
It was too late to say it, but it was soon, Liu Jiang Before he could finish his words, Xue Luo had already wiped his neck, and the movement was so fast that he had no time to resist.
"I can talk about her, but you can't!" Xue Luo kicked Liu Jiang's body away in disgust, and it fell to the ground beyond recognition.
Over there, Wen Liu led the elites of Luoxue Pavilion to clean up all those who broke into the backyard. The Ding family compound became quiet, and the smell of blood lingered and was very unpleasant.
Xue Luo led everyone to clean up the mess, leaving behind the best gold medicine, and started to leave. From beginning to end, he didn't even step foot inside his own door.
"Wow wow wow", several babies' cries came through the air, Xue Luo's feet froze, and she froze on the spot.
Xue Xin stood on the porch holding their child, and her tears kept falling. She said in a hoarse voice: "Husband, our child has not been named yet."
"Shut up! I am not your husband." Xue Luo didn't look back and scolded coldly, shrugging her shoulders.
Hearing this, Xuexin’s tears became even more intense. "Brother Luo, please give the child a name." She cried and knelt on the ground, begging bitterly.
A word of "brother Luo" awakens Xue Luo's dusty memory.
07
Xuexin is a child adopted by the Ding family. She follows Xue Luo all day long. Brother Luo is longer than brother Luo.
Xue Luo was not annoyed and loved her as her own sister. She asked for the highest peach blossom on the peach tree, and he climbed up to pick it. She wanted to eat candied haws in the middle of the night, so he knocked on the hawker's closed door to buy it for her. She watched as he practiced martial arts. When he took a break, she handed him a cup of tea and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Everything is so beautiful. Xue Luo even thought about marrying Xue Xin to her best friend, Wen Liu. Only he could make Xue Luo feel at ease.
It was also this good sister who teamed up with his mother to design and kill the woman he loved most.
To this day, he still clearly remembers that day when he hurried back to his mansion and saw Rumei disappear into ashes in front of a Taoist priest. She just disappeared little by little in front of him, turning into a starry sky, out of reach.
In a rage, Xue Luo rushed forward and killed the Taoist priest.
Rumei is a flower demon, only Xue Luo and Xuexin know. He rushed into Xue Xin's room, only to see his mother waiting there, pretending to be a lady, and said arrogantly: "Xue Xin is your future wife."
Xue Luo sat paralyzed. On the ground, I just feel that my biological mother and closest sister are terrifyingly strange.
In order to fulfill his mother's wish, he got himself drunk and gave Xuexin a child. After he sobered up, he never came back and started his own business.
He was afraid that he would not be able to help but kill Xuexin as soon as he returned home.
08
How long has it been since he heard this "Brother Luo"?
"Ding Wuxin." After saying that, he flew away.
If you are unintentional, you are heartless and have no desires, and you will not suffer such heart-piercing pain.
"Luo'er?" Mrs. Ding called earnestly, but she could not call back the prodigal son who had gone far away. He lowered his head feebly, tears streaming down his face, and sobbed: "You still hate me! Even if I use the lives of the whole family as bait to lure you back, wouldn't you want to say more to us?"
"I have no intention of being good, I have no intention of being good." Xuexin cried while teasing the child in her arms.
Wen Liu helped Xue Xin up, sighed, and left. The person who tied the bell needed to be untied, but he was helpless.
All the flowers in the courtyard were stained with blood, which was shocking. Such a big fight resulted in a short reunion. Since then, the blue sky has fallen from the sky to the underworld, and we will never see each other again in life and death.
