Volume 3: The Sword God of Debt Collection Chapter 16: Sweeping the Tomb

  Wang Tianyi looked at the crippled evil Taoist on the ground, and then bowed to us in a circle. With a serious expression, he said: "I thank you all for your help. This villain has committed countless evils and injured many of my sect's disciples. Alas, our sect's talents have withered away, and no one has been able to defeat this villain for so many years. I am ashamed just thinking about it. This time, I relied heavily on the assistance of all you esteemed experts, and I am deeply grateful!"

  Lao Wu glanced at Liu Laoliu and smiled, "Wang Daochang doesn't have to be polite, I think this is also a matter of courtesy, Xiaoxian that little girl's practice was probably still Wang Daochang who helped to complete it?"

  Liu Lao Liu's face turned red...

  "It's just a small effort, what's there to boast about?"

  I suddenly realized that the second half of the power that Xiao Qian helped me retrieve was actually supplemented by Wang Tianyi, no wonder every time I asked him, he evaded the question. The latest free chapter of this book please visit.

  Wang Tianyi suddenly fell to his knees and kowtowed to Liu Laosan, who was shocked and exclaimed: "What's going on? Why are you doing this?"

  Wang Tian said, "My master is the last reliable generation of the Mao Shan Sect. He had a prior agreement that whoever among our disciples can capture Li Huai will become the 69th generation leader. You, my junior brother, have achieved this, so naturally you are the leader of our sect."

  Liu Lao Liu's face was thick-skinned again, but at this time he was a bit panicked, circling around the original place: "What can be done about this, I didn't do anything!"

  I said: "Aren't you always proud of being a Mao Shan Sect? What's going on now?"

  Liu Laoliu said in a low voice: "To be honest with Master, I myself don't know if I am a disciple of the Mao Shan Sect."

  Wang Tian stood up and said: "Right, I haven't heard you mention your own master's lineage."

  Liu Laosix scratched the dirt from under his fingernails and said, "I don't have a master or anything. It's just that before my dad died, he gave me a book and said it was passed down from our ancestors. My grandpa said so, and my grandpa's grandpa also said so. As for how many generations back it goes, I'm not really sure."

  Wang Tian lit a cigarette and said, "Is there a family tree?"

  Liu Laoliu thought for a moment and said: "There is, but it has long been lost. Among our few generations, only my grandfather has heard of that thing."

  "What was the name of your earliest ancestor recorded in your family tree?"

  "It seems like his name is Liu Dehua."

  "What?"

  Wang Tian snapped his fingers and calculated, changing color: "Dezi generation, that should be the 17th generation of disciples' ranking, you said Liu Dehua?"

  Liu Laosixi was afraid of being misunderstood by Wang Tianyi and hastily said: "Not that one from Hong Kong."

  Wang Tianyi was slightly surprised and said, "I heard my master mention this person before. That generation of talents was outstanding, and there was a Liu Dehua who was even more stunningly talented. However, because he lost to his fellow disciple in the battle for leadership, he left the Mao Shan Sect and disappeared without a trace. He's actually your ancestor?"

  "Uh... can Taoist priests get married?"

  Wang Tian said, "The orthodox disciples of the Mao Shan Sect were originally not allowed to do so, but Liu Dehua has already left the Mao Shan Sect and it is unknown whether he will return to secular life..." He looked at Liu Laosix with a sigh, "I didn't expect you to be the descendant of Senior Dehua, heavenly fate, heavenly fate!"

  Liu Laosix nervously said: "Then can I still be considered a true heir of the Maoshan Sect?"

  "Of course it counts. Moreover, you have made contributions today, and even if Dehua has done something wrong, the merits and demerits cancel each other out. You are worthy of being the sect leader."

  Liu Lao Liu suddenly became arrogant again and rushed to us, saying: "See, I'm a real descendant of Cao Shan, and now I'm still in charge!"

  I mumbled and muttered: "Congratulations to Master Liu for a thousand years of prosperity and unifying the rivers and lakes!"

  Liu Laosix said with a serious expression: "I dare not say that I will unify the Jianghu, but I must make the Mao Shan Sect prosperous and glorious - I will start recruiting tomorrow!"

  Wang Tianyi chuckled and said, "Then let's wish our junior brother success!" He carried the evil Daoist onto the flying sword, turned his head to me and said, "Little Dragon brother, I represent the Mao Shan Sect to apologize for the trouble caused by our sect's villain to you and Su Jian Shen. However, you also didn't waste your efforts, Li Dao used Wang Qing to absorb those sword energies earlier, but you also absorbed quite a bit of it back, consider it as the interest on this old debt. I'll take him back to the Mao Shan ancestor's spirit tablet to apologize."

  Wang Tianyi made a gesture to Liu Laosix: "Junior brother of the sect leader, contact by phone!"

  Liu Laoliu said: "Alright, I've taken note of your number!"

  Wang Tianyi took the bad Daoist and his Dragon and Phoenix Twin Swords flew into the air, in an instant they had already flown far away, leaving behind only a faint sentence: "If you haven't spent it all, don't forget to top me up, don't let others occupy the shade of the small trees in the park for me, I'll be back..."

  Old Wu sighed and said: "The evil Daoist's life is almost over. Being able to return to Mao Mountain to atone for his sins before he dies may not be a bad ending after all."

  "Hei Shan Lao Yao suddenly shouted: 'Where is Wang Qing?'"

  It wasn't until now that I remembered this little guy, earlier when we were fighting for our lives with the bad guys, no one had time to take care of him. Now he's already run off without a trace, on a dark and windy night like this, where can you even start looking?

  We were just about to head back with our wounded and disabled when a girl's voice suddenly came from the small woods in the distance, full of questioning: "Wang Qing, how do you plan on settling this debt between us?"

  We were shocked and rushed over, borrowing the weak moonlight to see that Xiaoxian was standing calmly in front of a virtual shadow, who was Wang Qing.

  Hei Shan Lao Yao stepped forward with an arrow, blocking Wang Qing's path. We stood by one after another, but no one intervened in their feud that had lasted for over 200 years and was finally about to come to an end.

  Wang Qing originally wanted to escape, but seeing that we had already formed a siege against him, he suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy: "Everyone, just let me off like a fart, I was also forced by that old thing Li."

  Xiao Qian ignored his pleas and calmly said, "Wang Qing, you drove me to death back then. How do you plan on settling this account?" On the surface, she was calm, but her entire body was slightly trembling, clearly showing that her emotions had reached a boiling point.

  Wang Qing raised his head and argued reluctantly: "I really liked you, at the beginning my family had even prepared a betrothal gift to formally marry you!"

  Xiao Qian angrily said: "Nonsense! Who doesn't know that you've harmed countless girls with this method? You have innumerable small houses outside, and once a girl falls into your hands, it's nine deaths and one life. Even if she doesn't die, after you're tired of playing with her, you'll sell her to a brothel. Which one has a good ending? Moreover..." Xiao Qian indignantly said, "When you forced me, you had already contracted a filthy disease. What kind of heart do you have?"

  Wang Qing crawled forward a few steps on his knees, saying repeatedly: "I should die, but...". Wang Qing seemed to remember something and said, "But our original procedure was not wrong at all, the parents' promise and the matchmaker's words were all correct, and the betrothal gift I gave was not light." Wang Qing straightened his neck and simply said, "To tell the truth, you should have been my wife long ago!"

  Xiao Qian said faintly: "My parents were greedy and accepted your betrothal gift, I have paid it back with my life!"

  After hearing the four words "returning with one's life", Wang Qingyi's body went soft, and he didn't dare to make any more excuses. He fell to Xiaoxiang's feet, begging in a tearful voice: "Miss Xiaoxiang, please spare my life for the sake of your greatness, I'm now a double cripple, killing me would stain your hands!" As he spoke, he lunged forward, trying to grab Xiaoxiang's feet, but ended up clutching at air. Looking up, he saw Xiaoxiang's icy gaze and couldn't help but shiver with fear.

  I looked at the crowd and asked for their opinions: "What to do with this kid?" But no one responded. The bad Daoist was defeated, Su Jing naturally didn't want to make things difficult for Wang Qing, Old Wu's heart was kind and his hands were soft, Liu Lao didn't say anything, Wang Qing looked at Old Wu with the most friendly face, crawled step by step to his feet, and repeatedly said: "Senior, just let me go this one time!"

  Lao Wu took a step back with a look of disgust and said, "Can you change your ways?"

  Wang Qing saw hope and exclaimed: "I can! I swear that from now on, I will be a good person!"

  Old Wu inquired with his eyes, and Xiao Qian covered her face and said: "In short, I never want to see this person again." She then ran out of the small woods first.

  Old Wu sighed and slowly walked out.

  The old demon of Hei Shan couldn't help but jump a step forward to Wang Qing's face, grasping his hair and fiercely asking: "Can you really be a good person?"

  Wang Qing seemed to have understood that everyone was unwilling to be his enemy, and he said with a smile: "I can!" His expression was quite pleased.

  "Good." The old demon of Hei Shan released Wang Qing, and I thought the matter was settled. Who knew that with a flick of his finger, the old demon of Hei Shan made a "puffing" sound, and everyone turned their heads to see Wang Qing kneeling on the ground, with a black vine as thick as a fist protruding from his chest! Until his death, he did not know why the old demon of Hei Shan was so treacherous. His eyes bulged out of their sockets as he looked back in shock, meeting the old demon's questioning gaze. The old demon of Hei Shan smiled and said, "But I don't believe it!"

  "Ah!" Wang Qing only had the air going out, not coming in, and finally didn't say a word. Hei Shan Lao Yao drew out his black rattan, and he fell to the ground, gradually turning into a pool of dead water.

  Old Wu exclaimed in shock: "Xiao Hei, how could you kill him?"

  Hei Shan Lao Yao spread his hands: "Do you believe what he said?"

  I was the first to applaud and said: "Well done! To be honest, if I hadn't been unable to bring myself to do it, I would have gotten rid of him long ago!"

  Lao Wu let out a long sigh, and Hei Shan Lao Yao cautiously said: "Master, are you very disappointed in me?"

  Old Wu said: "That's all there is to it. Next time you want to kill him, don't deceive him first. This is the distinction between right and wrong."

  "Hei Shan Lao Yao laughed and said: 'I just wanted him to be a little less afraid before he died, maybe in the next life he can become a good person.'"

  Old Wu smiled: "Nonsense!"

  I smiled and said: "Hei Jie has also met a good master, if Tang Seng had sent you back to Huaguo Mountain earlier."

  "Hei Shan Lao Yao took advantage of the situation and said: 'Master, you can't drive me away, if you do, I'll have to go back to Quezi Mountain and continue eating humans.'"

  Lao Wu said seriously: "Xiao Hei, from now on, no matter if the master is present or not, the heart of doing good must not be broken. This is the foundation of our orthodox cultivation."

  "Hei Shan Lao Yao smiled slyly: 'Alright alright alright, I've remembered.'"

  Xiao Qian slowly came to Hei Shan Lao Yao's side and whispered: "Little Black sister, thank you!"

  "Hei Shan Lao Yao laughed and said: 'Don't be polite, if there's anyone like that again, tell your sister, your sister will help you kill him!' Old Wu turned his head to glare at her, she quickly covered her mouth..."

  At this time, the sky had already revealed a fish belly white, Liu Laosix stood with his back to the first ray of dawn on the horizon, his face full of weight and distance: "The great plan for the revival of the Mao Shan Sect is about to begin from this morning!"

  I couldn't help but ask him: "What's your first step going to be?"

  Liu Lao Liu thought for a long time and said seriously: "Let's have breakfast first."

  We: “……”

  We came with 5 people and returned with 7, fortunately Liu Zhuangmen wanted to eat breakfast, Xiao Qian's body was thin, following them from behind was just fine. When asked how she got here, it turned out that Xiao Qian had been worried about us all along, sneaking out in the middle of the night and finding her way here.

  After a night of fierce battle, everyone was exhausted. Su Jing and Old Wu were both seriously injured, Gao Xiaowei was still in a coma, I was worried that she might have gotten a concussion, Su Jing signaled me that it's okay.

  It's strange to say, but among the crowd, only I was invigorated, didn't sleep all night, and instead became even more awake. At the same time, my body seemed to have endless energy bursting out. Su Jing saw me constantly turning back to look at her and said tiredly: "The sword aura of that evil Daoist is taking effect."

  Lao Wu said: "From what Wang Tianyi meant, the evil Daoist's own sword energy was also absorbed by you quite a bit."

  Su Jing, though exhausted, smiled with relief: "Now we can finally return to the Country of Women with peace of mind."

  I said: "When do you plan on leaving?"

  Su Jingdao: "Of course the sooner the better, how is it today?"

  I exclaimed, "Are you crazy? At least wait until your injury heals before talking about it." I said this and then added with a swagger, "Of course, if you insist on doing so, I have no objection. Just pretend to do something when we get back, and leave the rest to me."

  Su Jing smiled: "Then let's wait for three more days."

  After returning, Jin Chengwu was almost frantic, seeing us return safely and hastily arranging for us to have breakfast and sleep. I put Gao Xiaowei back in her room and returned to see Su Jing sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, meditating. After about two hours, she coughed up two mouthfuls of blood and suddenly felt a lot better. She opened her eyes and saw me looking at her, and we exchanged a smile. For so many days, we had been oppressed by the evil forces and couldn't catch our breath, but now we finally felt peaceful and calm.

  At noon, Gao Xiaowei finally woke up. She walked downstairs in a daze and saw everyone there. Rubbing her head, she said: "Sister, what happened to me last night? I seemed to have seen a man flying down from the sky."

  "I hastily said: 'You were knocked unconscious from the start and are dreaming.'"

  "Really? Then what happened later, did you guys settle things?"

  Su Jingchong waved her hand and said: "Xiao Wei, come over here."

  Gao Xiaowei walked over and said: "What's going on?"

  Su Jing stood up and said seriously: "Today, I officially accept you as my apprentice."

  Duan Tianya exclaimed on one side: "Incredible! Su Jian actually took an apprentice!"

  I smiled and said: "I'm also a Sword God, how about I take you as my apprentice?"

  Duan Tianya didn't bother to deal with me and instead patted Gao Xiaowei on the back, saying: "Hurry up and pay your respects as a disciple!"

  Gao Xiaowei didn't know the severity of the situation and half-jokingly asked Su Jing: "Do we need to kowtow?"

  Su Jing hesitated for a moment and said, "There's no need to stand on ceremony here. Remember, from now on you're my official disciple. Over the next few days, I'll teach you some other things." I knew Su Jing was rewarding Gao Xiaowei, probably going to pass on his sword energy to her. I couldn't help but feel a bit worried - this little girl would learn Su Jing's ruthless ways and in the future, wouldn't her fights be bloody and intense?

  Su Jing pulled Gao Xiaowei's hand and warned: "From now on, don't fight with people casually, do you understand?"

  "What if someone else provokes me first?"

  "Let's just drop it, but you're not allowed to be arrogant and bully others."

  Gao Xiaowei originally thought Su Jing was joking with her, seeing her serious expression, she could only murmur: "Oh, I see."

  ……

  This afternoon I received a call from my dad, he asked me to go with him to sweep my mom's grave.

  Su Jing insisted on going with me, I smiled and said: "It's not very convenient, at this time only the daughter-in-law has the qualification to accompany."

  Su Jingdao said: "Don't forget that Lu Renjia and the others are still there, with your half-baked sword aura, do you think you can handle it?"

  I hurriedly opened the car door for her: "Please."

  At the entrance of the cemetery, Aunt Meng drove to send Dad ahead, she saw me arrive and said to Dad: "You go up first, I'll wait for you here." As she spoke, she gave Su Jing a ambiguous glance.

  Dad had the same expression, he nodded at Su Jing and said: "You're here too?"

  Su Jing didn't know how to explain it either and could only nod her head.

  We walked slowly along the stone steps on the mountain road and found my mother in Section 2, Row 13. I come to this place at least once a year, but I've never felt so overwhelmed with emotions. My mother passed away when I was less than three years old, so I have almost no memory of her. In the past, my sadness has been limited, but it's strange that now I know she's still alive, yet I couldn't help but feel a deep sorrow, kneeling in front of her grave with tears streaming down my face. The woman in the photo on the tombstone had long hair and pale skin, with a few freckles on the bridge of her nose, looking calm and serene, completely different from the general's daughter. I think this is also one of the main reasons for my sorrow - a weak woman who lost her husband and son, went to a completely strange world without warning, experienced unknown hardships and finally became a legendary figure, but still couldn't escape the hardships of life.

  The old man lit the paper fire and put on the tribute, saying in a deep voice: "I and my son saw you coming, the one behind is my daughter-in-law."

  Su Jing immediately knelt down beside me, I couldn't help but make a funny face at her, Su Jing saw that my face still had tears on it yet I was winking and making eyes at her, she was shocked...

  Dad finished burning the paper, didn't say much, stood up and sat down in front of the tombstone, I also sat down beside him. Dad took out a cigarette and handed one to me, I helped him light it, he sighed: "So many years have passed, don't know how your mom is doing in another world?"

  "It's fine, I'm just tired," I said.

  Dad frowned and looked at me, I busily smoked a cigarette, not saying a word.

  "Dad looked at the floating clouds on the horizon and suddenly said, 'In all these years, I didn't let you do anything. Do you hate me for that?'"

  I picked up a twig and drew on the mud on the ground: "Hated before."

  "What about now?"

  "Now?" I puffed out a mouthful of smoke and said with a heavy heart: "Now I'm no longer interested in those things of yours."
