C3 Concomitant life and death
Chen Qingfeng had no way of explaining. He did not know how much these people wanted the Damocles' Heart Sutra, but they had actually forced someone into such a situation. He had already retired from the martial arts world and no longer cared about everything that went wrong in the martial arts world.
In the days when he and Bi Ru were living in seclusion in the forest, or when no one disturbed them, what made him most excited was that not long ago, Bi Ru had given birth to two fat kids for him.
Before his son could call him father, he really didn't want to die like this. If he died, what would happen to Bi Ru and his two children?
Back then, Nangong Bi Ru had wholeheartedly followed him to roam the world, living with him for the rest of her life. However, her father, Nangong Jue, would not agree with it at all. He looked down on those so-called righteous sects and clans.
It was unknown how many brothers of the Devil Sect had died in the hands of these so-called righteous sects. Thus, when he found out that the person Nangong Bi Ru liked was actually someone from the Wudang Sect, he firmly opposed it.
If his precious daughter was with someone from a respectable and upright clan, the other sects in the martial arts world would definitely not let them off the hook.
They could hide, but there would always be people who would reveal their whereabouts. In that case, Nangong Jue would rather his own daughter marry an ordinary person in order to live his life of hiding.
However, at that time, Nangong Bi Ru, who was completely focused on Chen Qingfeng, did not hear what her father said at all. Nangong Jue had even sent people to capture Bi Ru.
Chen Qingfeng knew that he couldn't force his way through. Thus, he begged Nangong Jue to marry his daughter to him. He repeatedly promised to give Nangong Bi Ru happiness, but Nangong Jue didn't even want to meet him. Chen Qingfeng could only kneel at the entrance of the Devil Sect and wait for Nangong Jue to see him.
In the end, it was Nangong Beiru who used her death to force them to stay together. Nangong Bi Ru didn't want to eat. She wanted to use a hunger strike to change her father's mind. However, she didn't expect Nangong Bing to be so determined not to compromise.
Nangong Bi Ru had no other choice but to use her dagger to force her father to show himself. She threatened to die in front of Nangong Jue if he didn't let her go with Chen Qingfeng.
Nangong absolutely would never have thought that his daughter, whom he raised from a young age, would actually threaten her father just for a man he had not known for more than three months.
After all, Nangong Jue could not bear to part with his daughter. Feeling helpless, he could only let them leave. Actually, Nangong Jue could have done absolutely nothing and killed Chen Qingfeng. Even Bi Ru couldn't do anything about it, but he was afraid that his precious daughter would be hurt. He even did something stupid, but in the end, he still wasn't able to harden his heart.
Soon after, Chen Qingfeng brought Nangong Beiru to a place with a very good environment. Moreover, there were very few people living in the forest. They built a simple yet sturdy building there.
There were no parents on either side, nor were there any matchmakers. They used the Heavens as a medium, and the Earth as a mirror. They formed a husband and wife. This short period of one year was the happiest time for Chen Qingfeng and Nangong Beiru.
Every day, Chen Qingfeng would chop some firewood and return. They even opened up a vegetable patch at the back of the house, learning from farmers to grow vegetables.
After filling their stomachs, they wandered around the forest. From here on out, this would be their home, and they would cover the entire forest with their footprints.
Only when Nangong Bi Ru became pregnant did Chen Qingfeng feel that his life was truly complete. He was about to have a whole family, and he waited with excitement for that day to come.
Finally, he welcomed the two chubby kids. However, they didn't look exactly the same, but they still made the new wife's mother, Chen Qingfeng, and Bi Ru extremely happy.
Ever since then, they had another mission every day, and that was to take care of the two children. The older brother was more lively and lively, but the younger brother was very quiet and easy to lead and didn't cry too much. The two of them had yet to think of a name.
While the couple was immersed in the joy of having a noble son, someone came knocking on their door. Only now did Chen Qingfeng realize that the rumours in the martial arts world that had been circulating the internal energy had revealed that he had the inner force cultivation method of the Damocles Heart Sutra.
However, in the past year, Chen Qingfeng had never left his wife and this mountain forest. How could he have any internal energy cultivation methods? However, Chen Qingfeng's words were empty, and the person who had come did not believe him at all.
Thus, in order to protect his wife and children, Chen Qingfeng fought with that group of people. Chen Qingfeng could not recklessly kill the innocent, so he only injured them and let them go.
Who knew that after those people left, there would be people constantly coming to the mountain forest to ask Chen Qingfeng for the Damascus Heart Sutra? There was really no other way, for the safety of his wife and children, he had no choice but to bring them away from their home, which they had lived in for over a year.
But no matter where they went, someone would recognize them and force them to hand over their inner skills. Chen Qingfeng could only push them back and quickly change locations.
Once, Bi Ru and the child were almost injured. Moreover, Chen Qingfeng felt that he had let down his wife and children, so he let them follow him everywhere. Just like this, two months passed. The rumors in the martial arts world did not disappear, but instead became more and more intense. More and more people went to find Chen Qingfeng and his wife.
Just a few days ago, Chen Qingfeng's family heard from someone that several large sects were going to Wu Dang to find a free and unrestrained son to force him to show himself. It was precisely because Chen Qingfeng didn't want to bring trouble to Wu Dang that he broke off his relationship with his master that year.
Thinking that these sects might try to put pressure on Wu Dang or make things difficult for his master, Chen Qingfeng decided to return to Wu Dang and explain everything. Before he left, he had instructed Nangong Bi Ru to wait for his return. If he didn't return, then he would bring the child back to the Devil Sect.
He knew that Nangong Jue would not make things difficult for her or her child. Bi Ru, hearing Chen Qingfeng's words, felt as if he would never come back, so she insisted on going with him to the martial arts arena.
Since he had two children to take with him, Chen Qingfeng firmly told Bi Ru to wait for him at the inn. He also promised Bi Ru that he would return safely.
Seeing Chen Qingfeng leave, Nangong Bi Ru could not relax no matter what. Those people that came to find her were all extremely vicious. She was truly worried for Chen Qingfeng's safety.
After some consideration, she carried the two children on her back and secretly went up to the Wu Dang Mountain.
In front of the crowd, Chen Qingfeng looked at the people below, who did not listen to his explanation. All of them were very excited, then looked back at the embarrassed expressions on their Master and the other Senior Brothers and Sisters. Chen Qingfeng pulled out his sword.
He hurriedly advised Chen Qingfeng not to act on impulse and to think things through. Chen Qingfeng put his sword on his neck and looked at the indifferent people below. He only said one sentence: "I, Chen Qingfeng, have always been an upright person. I have absolutely never done anything wrong to any of the martial arts sects, and I don't have the Tamau Heart Sutra on me!" He also said that since they did not believe him, they could only prove his innocence with their own deaths.
He also asked the various large sects to let go of his wife and children, and not come back to make things difficult for his master. Chen Qingfeng turned his head and looked at the unrestrained child. He asked the unrestrained child to take good care of his wife and children for him.
And then, without anyone being able to stop him, he would commit suicide. Sayoko watched his favorite disciple die in front of him, but there was nothing he could do.
The crowd of disciples hurriedly supported the unrestrained Xiao Yunzi, and the scene of Chen Qingfeng committing suicide was seen by Bi Ru, who had just arrived at Wu Dang's door.
With a cry, she ran over and threw herself beside Chen Qingfeng, whose eyes were already tightly shut. The two young children on his back also seemed to know something and began to cry loudly.
She could not accept Chen Qingfeng's death. Just two hours ago, he had been alive and well in front of her.
But now, he was dead in front of her without moving. Other than tears, there was nothing else she could do. Chen Qingfeng had died, leaving her and a pair of children behind.
Nangong Bi Ru felt that there was no need for her to live any longer. She put her two sons down. Seeing the crying children, she steeled her heart and kowtowed three times in tears.
The unfettered child suddenly understood what she was doing. He quickly flew over, but he was still a step too late. Nangong Bi Ru had already used Chen Qingfeng's sword to wipe her neck.
Chen Qingfeng and his wife both died in front of these righteous sects and families, at Mount Wudang. When these people saw that Chen Qingfeng and his wife had died, they didn't say anything and just quietly discussed amongst themselves.
Xiao Yunzi was so angry that he couldn't even speak, and he was also so grieved that he couldn't speak. This was the first time he lost his temper in front of everyone, he sternly said: "Are you not satisfied with being an upright person? "Why aren't you leaving!"
They said that the evil children of the Devil Sect could not be left alive. If they wanted to kill them to prevent future troubles, they would have to face the consequences. "If you want to touch a single hair on these two children, then step over my dead body!"
When the people below heard this, they began to discuss amongst themselves. It seemed that the unrestrained child was going to protect the two children with all his might. However, they were afraid that they would come to avenge their parents when they reached adulthood.
Xiao Yunzi had been a very calm and composed person when he was young, but now that he had become so angry, everyone was a little scared. Thus, all the Sect Leaders of the various sects bid farewell to the "free" son and left the mountain with their complaints.
The unrestrained child walked over and picked up the two crying brothers, then looked at the corpses of Chen Qingfeng and his wife before saying, "You two can rest assured that the child will definitely grow up safe and sound!"
Just when Wu Dang sent off the people from all the martial arts sects, he welcomed the people from the Devil Sect who rushed over in a hurry. disciple Wu Dang stopped these people from entering, but Nangong Jue received the news that her daughter came to the Wu Dang Mountain. Furthermore, on the way there, he met with people from other sects, so he was very worried about his daughter's safety.
Originally, the Devil Sect had planned to rush in to look for someone, but they were stopped by Nangong Jue. Although they were Devil Sect members, they were not robbers. Moreover, his purpose this time was to look for his daughter. Thus, he asked disciple Wu Dang to go in and report to the Sect Leader, the Free and Unrestrained Child.
While he was still immersed in the grief of losing his beloved disciple, he heard someone report that someone from the Devil Sect had arrived. The unrestrained child knew that Nangong Bi was Nangong Jue's only daughter. Now that Nangong Bi Ru was dead, he had the right to know.
They were let in. When Nangong Jue entered, he saw her daughter's corpse lying on the ground. In her fifties, Nangong Jue had lost his beloved daughter. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
Ever since Nangong Bi Ru had left the Devil Sect, she had never come to see him again. He had been thinking about her every day and finally got news of her. In the end, all he saw was an ice-cold corpse.
Nangong Jue held onto his daughter's body and couldn't help crying. He mumbled to himself. Back then, when she left, Chen Qingfeng had promised that he would make her happy.
But now, instead of seeing happiness, it had already separated him from Yin and Yang. However, since Chen Qingfeng was already dead, there was nothing for him to investigate. This person, this path was chosen by his daughter, so no matter what the result was, he had to bear it.
Nangong Jue only had this one daughter, so he had spoiled her since she was young. Whatever Bi Ru wanted, he would give her.
Looking at her lifeless and motionless daughter, Nangong Jue's heart ached like a knife. He held his daughter's corpse in his arms and didn't speak for a very long time. The people from the Devil Sect and Wu Dang didn't disturb him.
Many of those who had watched Bi Ru grow up in the Devil Sect couldn't help but shed male tears. Recovering from his grief, Nangong Jue heard the wail of a baby.
