Have You Met My Brother?[Comprehensive Martial Arts + Sword Three] Chapter 51
byChapter 51 Yang Long and his wife Xie Donghai: Tsk.
“…So you are both master and apprentice as well as husband and wife?”
Under the Broken Heart Cliff, at the bottom of a deep valley shrouded in clouds and mist, gently flows a bone-chilling cold pool. The vegetation around the pool is lush, and dozens of large beehives are lined up in the trees.Xie Donghai stood on the ground holding Ling Xian Yinxu, the white gauze of the big umbrella hanging down leisurely, covering half of his face, but not blocking his sight.
There were two people standing in front of him – one of them was in his early thirties, extremely handsome, with only a slight frost on his temples, and one sleeve was empty; the other was a woman in white clothes about twenty years old, with a distant and cold expression, but she did not hide her stunning appearance.Although there was not much excitement in their expressions of gratitude, there was some kindness in their expressions.
Not long ago, Yang Guo heard what Xie Donghai said. He was so anxious that he jumped off the cliff without asking for more details. After falling halfway, he suddenly realized that he was too impulsive.However, when he thought about it, although there was still some time before the sixteen-year appointment, he had already vaguely realized that the so-called “Nun of the South China Sea” was probably fabricated by Huang Rong, but he still had some extravagant hopes in his heart.
I came here today just to pass by a nearby place, and I couldn’t help but look at the words Xiao Longnu left there in the past, hoping that maybe some time would pass before the couple could really meet again.Unexpectedly, a strange man who looked like a fairy or a ghost suddenly appeared and pointed out that there was someone under the cliff.As soon as Yang Guo heard “the woman in white”, he was so flustered that he didn’t care whether he could go down or not, so he rushed straight to the bottom of the valley.
After all, he came down not to seek death but to find someone. Yang Guo used his internal energy and Qinggong to descend, passed through the dense fog, and then fell into the pond with a “thud”.He quickly went ashore again and searched everywhere. When he found some man-made traces, he was immediately excited, but he was also worried that his joy was in vain, and his emotions were complicated and difficult to distinguish.
At this moment, Xie Donghai seemed to be slowly descending from the sky – he didn’t expect that with just a casual conversation, this man would be so impulsive that he jumped directly off the cliff, as if he couldn’t wait to seek death.He comforted the angry and jumping divine eagle and promised to check on the situation for it, then followed it and floated down. After landing, he looked at the person in front of him with a slightly speechless look.
At this time, Yang Guo did not care about what others thought of him. Seeing Xie Donghai land easily, a hint of surprise and wariness about Xie Donghai’s martial arts flashed through his heart. His face showed a mix of embarrassment and hesitation. Finally, he bowed with one hand and asked for advice: “I wonder what you call me? Where exactly is the woman in white at the bottom of the valley that I mentioned earlier…”
At this point, Yang Guo suddenly paused, because the person opposite slightly turned the umbrella in his hand, completely revealing his face.Yang Guo’s eyes moved from the silver-white umbrella to the hair crown inlaid with pearls and wrapped with ribbons, as well as the snow-white robe embroidered with silver patterns and the gray-purple cloak. Finally, he returned to the other person’s face and asked uncertainly:
“Do you know a young swordsman named ‘Yan Bugui’?”
“The ‘Condor Hero’ who is quite famous in the world of chivalry?” Seeing Yang Guo nodding in recognition, Xie Donghai also remembered that Ye Gucheng’s information mentioned that Yan Bugui had contact with the Condor Hero, so he did not hide it.
“I am Xiaoyan’s brother. I am on my way to the capital. I passed by here and saw the mysterious eagle next to you, so I took a closer look. As for the woman in white at the bottom of the valley, I didn’t lie to you. She is on the other side of the bottom of the pool. If you want to find her, you can see the entrance by sinking into the pool.”
Yan Bugui left a pretty good impression on Yang Guo, but the strange man in front of him didn’t know whether it was his preconception at first glance or there was another reason. He always felt that there was something unfathomable about him and he didn’t dare to believe it – that was how it should be.
However, his rationality told him that it was too dangerous to listen to a stranger’s words and go deep into the bottom of the pond. Moreover, the “woman in white” mentioned in his mouth may not be his Long’er; but his sensibility was talking about “what ifs” one after another, what if what the other party said was true, what if his Long’er was indeed hiding here… Reason was defeated in the murmur of emotion, and he finally jumped into the deep pool.
Of course, Yang Guo passed through the cave at the bottom of the pool and reunited with Xiao Longnu among the gorgeous flowers and plants. The ending was good.The couple returned to the other side to express their gratitude to Xie Donghai.
In response, Xie Donghai just replied: “With your infatuation, it is only a matter of time before you discover this matter. There is nothing worthy of your praise. Your eagle is still waiting for you up there. Do you want to leave or stay? If it is the latter, I can help you relay a sentence or two to the big eagle.”
Hearing this, Yang Guo suddenly thought, “Could it be that Yan Shaoxia’s eldest brother also knows how to speak carvings?”However, he did not say it directly. Instead, he sighed and revealed the master-disciple relationship between himself and Xiao Longnu. He also briefly mentioned how angry his uncle and aunt were at first. Also, since the valley was easy to get down to but not easy to get up to, they might as well live in seclusion here.
However, Xiao Longnu saw that Yang Guo still liked the excitement and couldn’t bear him to accommodate her and live in seclusion in the mountains. She asked for advice: “If Mr. Xie has a way to leave, I hope you can teach me and Guo’er so that we can go out and have a look first. If things are not going well outside, we can leave.”
If Xue Ling was still with Xie Donghai, he would have just asked the sea eagle to take him up directly. Unfortunately, Xue Ling has followed Yan and will not return.So he raised his head to estimate the height of the cliff, then looked at Yang Long and the two of them, and said leisurely: “If you are willing to believe me, you can first use the Qing Gong to fly as high as you can, and leave the rest to me.”
With Xie Donghai’s Qinggong, it was not impossible to fly up with the two of them, but he had no interest in touching two strangers, so he might as well just pick them up midway – with the internal strength and Qinggong of these two people, it was not completely impossible to leave the bottom of the valley. The only thing they were missing was this last breath.
Theoretically, normal people would not be so gullible, but Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu still did not doubt Xie Donghai’s words. The plan was made, and they joined hands to fly high.The cliff was steep and steep, and there were few places where she could draw strength on the way. Therefore, even though the poisonous little dragon girl got rid of the poison year by year, she was still trapped at the bottom of the valley and found it difficult to leave.
Sure enough, this time the couple felt tired halfway through the flight, and were about to land again, but suddenly a strong internal force surged up below them, forcibly “pushing” them higher. After a while, the top of the cliff was within reach.At this point, they didn’t need anyone else to remind them. They immediately used their last strength to jump to the side of the divine eagle that had been waiting for a long time, and successfully left the bottom of the valley.
“Thanks to Brother Xie for your help this time!” Yang Guo, who was standing still, looked back and saw Xie Donghai already standing not far away. He couldn’t help but wonder again how far the other party’s martial arts had reached, and he thanked him again.
“No need to thank me.” Xie Donghai shook his head. After all, it was what he said this time that made people suddenly jump. Considering the rare spiritual beast bred in this world – the divine eagle, it was just a matter of paying attention to the follow-up development, and it didn’t take much time.
However, Yang Long and his wife reunited and left the valley for a moment and a half, but they were a little confused and didn’t know where to go.Suddenly remembering Xie Donghai’s previous words, Yang Guo immediately asked: “Brother Xie had previously promised to go to the capital, but for the kendo battle between Lord Ye City and Lord Ximen Manor?”
Xie Donghai replied: “Half and half, the most important thing is that Xiaoyan is also in the capital at this time, I will go and meet him.”
Yang Guo held Xiao Longnu’s hand: “I wonder if Brother Xie would mind if we come with you? Long’er has been away from the world for sixteen years and knows nothing about the current situation. The capital city is now a place of great turmoil due to the full moon battle. I am determined to take her with me and take advantage of the gathering of heroes to fill in the gaps in these years.”
Seeing the two people on the opposite side showing off their affection so openly, Xie Donghai remained calm: “The road to the north is extremely spacious. I don’t mind whether there are fewer or more people around me.” So along the way, Xie Donghai changed from walking alone to walking together.
After they got acquainted with each other, Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu mentioned in more detail what they had experienced in the past. Yang Guo couldn’t help but sigh: “After learning that Long Er and I were masters and disciples, we still insisted on getting married. The attitude towards us is still as calm as ever. Apart from a certain old man with a naughty mentality, the only one who has no grudges is you, Brother Xie.”
When Yang Guo mentioned this, they were having dinner in an inn, and the capital city was already in sight, and would arrive soon.
Hearing Yang Guo’s words, Xie Donghai’s always calm and picturesque face suddenly showed a strange smile: “Well… maybe it’s because, in a certain aspect, we are the same kind of people?”
Facing the stunned or curious looks of a man and a woman, Xie Donghai added slowly: “I am not only Xiaoyan’s brother, but at the same time, we are also a ‘husband and wife’ – since Brother Yang has met Xiaoyan, he knows that he is looking for two people, one of whom is me, and the other is his biological brother.”
As he spoke, he sighed: “Xiaoyan’s eldest brother seems to have misunderstood me, and Xiaoyan is in a dilemma. Even if I intend to give in, the other party is aggressive and wants to separate me and Xiaoyan… Brother Yang, I wonder if you can help me think about it. Is there any way to make the other party give up such thoughts?”
Yang Guo naturally had no choice, because he had never thought that there could be such a “brother” in the world before, and he was extremely shocked.However, Xie Donghai didn’t expect Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu to come up with any unexpected “methods”. He just confirmed the relationship between them smoothly.Of course, it cannot be denied that the past events of Yang Long and his wife did bring back his memories.
Compared to Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu, the age difference between him and Yan Bugui is larger, and even their races are different.And when they really fell in love with each other, they were a little older than Yang Long and his wife at that time – after all, he didn’t have any special hobbies, so he wouldn’t have evil thoughts about human cubs.
After saying good night to Yang Long and the other two, the elder of Penglai sat by the bed in the guest room, looking far away in the direction of the capital, but his thoughts couldn’t help but go back to that rainy night in the 24th year of Kaiyuan——
He had raised many small animals, such as butterflies, koi, turtles, tigers… Xue Ling was not the one who lived the longest among them, but was the one who stayed with him the longest after he transformed into a human and joined Penglai.
Before adopting the wild goose, he had raised a wild goose for ten years from a cub – and then one day it followed a passing flock of geese and disappeared forever. This flock of geese was not even the flock of geese it was born in, but just happened to pass by.
Xie Donghai waited for two years and still couldn’t wait for his wild goose, so he simply went to look for it himself. Then he discovered that – well, it turned out that it wasn’t that it didn’t want to come back, but that it was dead on the way to migration.He ignored the pouring rain and built a small grave for it, treating it as the last kindness of his master.
And just when he was about to leave the mountain forest, he heard a faint shout. The voice was calling for his parents and brother…
