C22 Catastrophe Does Not Come Alone

Yuan's condition hasn't improved for a long time, Over the past few days, there had been no less than a hundred famous doctors coming and going in and out of Yuen's Mansion. All of them shook their heads and sighed helplessly.

On this day, it was snowing heavily. Yuen Xiaotian looked at his mother, who was coughing non-stop. For the past few days, he had never left the sickbed, so he looked a little haggard. In order to relieve his mother's cough, charcoal fire was not allowed in the house. In order to keep her warm, eighteen furnaces were set up on the roof outside the house, and the inside was burnt all day and night.

Yuen Xiaotian stood in front of the sickbed and held his mother's hand. His eyes could not help but tear up.

Yuan Ziren looked at the haggard Yuen Xiaotian and forcefully opened his eyes. He said, "Son! Life and death are determined by fate. There is no need to be sad. " After saying that, he coughed again.

After saying those words, Yuen Xiaotian was still in tears. Even the famous Dragon-scale Sword could not stop him from crying. The disciples went forward to comfort their master.

Yuan Man knew that she didn't have much time left. She wanted to go to the Meditation Nunnery for the last time.

In order to satisfy Yuan Man's wish, Yuen Xiaotian and the others braved the snow and sent Yuan Man to the Meditation Nunnery. Apart from Duan Tianya, Yao Guang, there was also Cao Yi and Yuen Meixue, who usually accompanied them around.

When they just arrived at the Meditation Nunnery, they felt Yuan Man's pulse. Yuan Man had passed away, and he walked very peacefully.

Yuen Xiaotian ordered Yao Guang to return to Yuen's Mansion first. He was not allowed to tell anyone about what happened to me. If anyone asked about it, tell them that I have fully recovered from my illness and will be able to return to the mansion after resting for a few days. At the same time, he warned the others about the same thing.

Yuen Xiaotian's eyes were red with tears. He stood outside the door and looked into the distance. He looked at the scattered snowflakes in the distance and fell into deep thought.

Duan Tianya walked out and said, "Tomorrow will be the day of your competition with Tang Wuhua. "

Yuen Xiaotian rubbed his eyes and asked, "You want to persuade me to cancel the fight?"

Duan Tianya said, "No, even if I told you, you would still go. I choose not to say anything. "

Yuen Xiaotian thought for a moment and called Cao Yi over. He said to Cao Yi, "You and Meixue go and prepare my funeral and add a coffin. " Everyone could tell that the coffin Yuen Xiaotian added was prepared for themselves.

Cao Yi said anxiously, "Master will definitely win and return it. "

Yuen Xiaotian waved his hand and said, "Just do as I say. I'm afraid I can't come in person for the marriage between you and Meixue. At that time, you, martial uncle, will be your matchmaker. "

Seeing Cao Yi standing where he was, Yuen Xiaotian shouted out loudly. "Go quickly!"

Cao Yi did not know what to say. He went to look for Yuen Meixue with tears in his eyes.

Duan Tianya said with a serious expression, "I didn't expect that the famous Yuen Xiaotian would have his coffin ready this time. "

Yuen Xiaotian replied with a question. "Will I beat him?" After saying that, he left with a bitter smile.

As the saying goes, good fortune never comes alone. This sentence was very suitable for Yuen Xiaotian.

That night, the little nun who was on night watch for Yuan Zhou accidentally broke the long lamp beside the mourning hall because she was dozing off. The oil of the lamp flowed on the ground and started burning. The raging fire burned the Meditation Nunnery until it was beyond recognition.

Yuen Xiaotian, who was guarding in front of the spirit, woke up and hurriedly ran out with his mother's remains in his arms. At this moment, a broken wooden pillar fell from the sky. In order to not let his mother's remains get hurt, Yuen Xiaotian turned his body and the wooden pillar fiercely smashed onto his left shoulder.

When he jumped out of the door, a group of people came to receive him. The nun of the Tranquil Sect looked at the burnt house, and couldn't help but silently recite Buddhist scriptures to count the number of people. Fortunately, no one was injured.

Master Hui Xian of the Meditation Nunnery walked up to Yuen Xiaotian and said, "Almsgiver Yuan and the others can come with me to the thatched hut at the back of the mountain. There are still five cold houses there. They are usually used to face the wall and reflect on their actions. We will go and settle down the remains of my people first before making plans for the rest. "

Yuen Xiaotian held his mother's remains and did not return the greeting. "I'm sorry to bother you, but don't worry, Master. Tomorrow, I will order people to rebuild it. I will definitely return a place for all of you to settle down. "

The group of people arrived at the thatched hut at the back of the mountain. Everything was properly arranged. Only then did they realize that Yuen Xiaotian's left shoulder had been injured. Although the wound wasn't heavy, it was at least three inches. They could vaguely see blood seeping out from the burns. After a simple dressing up, Yuen Xiaotian said to Priestess Hui Xian, "Thank you for your trouble, Master. "

Master Hui Xian hurriedly said, Yes, Master. " Patron Yuan, what are you saying? It's all my fault that I was unable to discipline you properly and nearly caused a huge mistake. "

Yuen Xiaotian said, "If it wasn't for us coming over to disturb you, such a thing wouldn't have happened. Everything is fate. "

Master Hui Xian muttered to herself. " Amitabha. There is a predestined fate in this world! "

After sending Master Hui Xian away, she arranged for Cao Yi and Yuen Meixue to guard the remains of my people. There were only Yuen Xiaotian and Duan Tianya in the room.

Yuen Xiaotian said, "Duan, I have a request for you. "

Duan Tianya asked, "What is it, Mr Yuen?"

Yuen Xiaotian let out a long sigh and said, "The battle between me and Tang Wuhua this time is definitely not going to end well. If anything happens to me, I will have to trouble Duan to help me manage the situation in Yuen's Mansion. "

Duan Tianya said in surprise, "Me?"

Yuen Xiaotian nodded and said. "Yes!"

Duan Tianya smiled bitterly and said, "But I am only one of your followers. "

Yuen Xiaotian said seriously, "But if I let go and leave, my son will not be an adult yet. Cao Yi's training is still shallow, and Yao Guang's martial arts skills are not good. Only Duan can protect Yuen's Mansion. I hope Duan can help me. "

Duan Tianya felt a little awkward and hesitated, "This. . . I'm afraid. . . "

Yuen Xiaotian saw this and quickly knelt on the ground. Duan Tianya hurriedly helped him up and said, "Why is Mr Yuen doing this?"

Yuen Xiaotian said sincerely: "If Duan doesn't agree, I can only do this. "

Duan Tianya said helplessly, "If that's the case, Mr Yuen, I promise you. "

Yuen Xiaotian stood up and continued, "Come with me tomorrow. Bring my corpse back and bury it with my wife. "

Regarding Yuen Xiaotian's request, Duan Tianya agreed one by one. Yuen Xiaotian wrote a few letters and passed them to him. After that, he said, "Duan, can you accompany me for a walk?"

The two of them came to the Meditation Nunnery. The fire had already burned the Meditation Nunnery to ashes, and there were still bits and pieces of flame dancing in the cold wind.

Yuen Xiaotian turned around and said, "Duan, can you accompany me for a few moves?"

Duan Tianya was puzzled and asked, "Now?"

Yuen Xiaotian nodded and said, "Yes. "

Duan Tianya said, "This time is not appropriate, right?"

Yuen Xiaotian said, "Why not?"

Duan Tianya said, "You are ill at ease, and you are injured. "

Yuen Xiaotian said, "No problem. I hope you can use your best skills. "

The two of them looked at each other. Duan Tianya pulled out his long sword and suddenly jumped forward. A cold light flashed. Yuen Xiaotian pulled out his sword and swept it upwards. With a clear sound, the two of them returned to their original positions.

After exchanging ten moves in a row, there was no winner or loser. At this moment, Duan Tianya stood up and threw out his long sword. Yuen Xiaotian dodged the long sword in a flash. Unexpectedly, the long sword circled behind him again. Yuen Xiaotian swung his sword horizontally. At this time, Duan Tianya also came forward. He did not have a sword in his hand, but he used some kind of method to control the sword. It was as if the sword had never left Duan Tianya.

After fifty moves, Yuen Xiaotian swung his sword and was about to stab out. However, he didn't expect that his left shoulder would be in severe pain. When he attacked, he was a step slower. At this time, the sword had already flown in front of him. Luckily, Duan Tianya stopped in time.

Yuen Xiaotian praised, "What a good move!"

Duan Tianya said, "Is Mr Yuen's injury alright?"

Yuen Xiaotian said, "No problem. I was just careless just now. " Although he said that, his painful expression betrayed everything.

Duan Tianya said, "With Mr Yuen's current abilities, he will definitely lose if he goes. "

Yuen Xiaotian also knew that his mind was in a mess, and he was injured. The defeat was already set, so he said, "It is not a bad thing to die under his sword. "

Duan Tianya said, "You are injured now, so you can fight another day. I believe Tang Wuhua will also agree. Why do you still want to go even though you know you will lose?"

Yuen Xiaotian replied, "Because we are all swordsmen. No matter what happens, we have to go to the challenge, even if we know we will die under the opponent's sword. "

Duan Tianya said, "Why are you so persistent?"

Yuen Xiaotian replied, "Back then, we did not have the time to compete with Hu Liang and Duan Junhou, because we were not qualified at that time. Although we were famous in the martial arts world, compared to these two, We're still a little behind. When we become famous in the martial arts world and want to compete with Dugu Nan and the Heng-Eyebrow Taoist. . . Only then did we realize that the Heng-Eyebrow Taoist had not asked about the affairs of the world for many years. Dugu Nan also died in the grudges of the Pugilistic World. "

Duan Tianya said, "In the recent ten years of the Jianghu, only these few people can be called peerless experts. "

Yuen Xiaotian continued, "Everyone wants to compete with the best swordsman, even if they lose their lives because of this. "

Duan Tianya said seriously, "Is this why you have to go?"

Yuen Xiaotian said, "I can't wait. Although a lot of things have happened, I won't complain. "

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "You and Tang Wuhua can become best friends. "

Yuen Xiaotian said, "There is a difference between a spar between friends and a duel between swordsmen. One is to stop at the right time, and the other is to fight with one's life. This is why many peerless experts don't choose to be friends with peerless experts, because once they become friends. . . This also meant that his own sword was too small. An opponent. "

Duan Tianya said, "I will go with you tomorrow. "

Yuen Xiaotian said, "Okay. "

The next morning, Yuen Xiaotian came to his mother's body. Looking at his mother's face, his expression changed. He turned to Hui Xian and said, "Bury tomorrow?"

Master Hui Xian lowered her head and said, "Bury tomorrow. The coffin is on the way. "

Yuen Xiaotian said, "I have something important to do today. If I can't return in time, I hope that Master will take care of my mother. "

Master Hui Xian bowed and said, "Of course. "

Yuen Xiaotian brushed his clothes and knelt down. He kowtowed twelve times on the ground and said to his mother, "Mother, I am unfilial. I cannot send you off for the last time, but I will immediately go and accompany you. "

Everyone present was moved by his words. Master Hui Xian asked in confusion, "Almsgiver Yuan, what is the matter?"

Yuen Xiaotian stood up and pretended as if nothing had happened. He said, "It is just some troublesome matters. It is not worth mentioning. "

Master Hui Xian said, "Since Almsgiver Yuan is not in a position to tell me, I will have to spend the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. I will recite scriptures for Almsgiver Yuan and pray for the Buddha to bless you. "

Yuen Xiaotian thanked Master Hui Xian and headed to Dragon And Phoenix Mountain with Duan Tianya.
