Later, he found a sword tassel in the woman's tightly clenched palm. It was a long, thin strip of jade, about the thickness of a finger, with a hole at the bottom and a string of orange-yellow tassels.
Chu Jiangli was convinced that the sword tassel belonged to his enemy.
He wanted revenge.
He must get his revenge!
So when he learned that the person who had taken him away was the former master of the Moon Palace, he was the only child who was not afraid.
Because he had heard from those martial arts practitioners how strong this man was.
Therefore, he understood that he had to survive the test, he had to become this person's apprentice, learn martial arts, find the murderer who killed his mother, and take revenge!
A thousand children were locked in one room for seven days.
They were deprived of food and water, forced to fight each other, and only those who survived would have the opportunity to learn the martial arts of the Moon Palace.
In the end, only Chu general Li survived.
He successfully became the former palace master's disciple and gained the opportunity to learn martial arts.
However, his good fortune did not last long. After only six years of study, the former palace master, disgusted by his eyes, blinded him and threw him into the ancient tomb.
He then closed the tomb's gate and went to look for other playthings.
Chu Jiangli, only ten years old, struggled to survive in this darkness.
Finally, by sheer chance, he triggered a mechanism and found the martial arts manual "Wuji Lu" engraved on the wall.
When Chu Jiangli reached the fifth level of the "Wuji Record", he was only thirteen years old, yet he shattered the stone gate with just one palm strike.
The first thing he did after emerging from the ancient tomb was to gouge out the eyes of the former master of the Moon Palace, then cut him into human stumps, put him in a wooden box full of snakes and insects, sealed the lid, leaving only the man's head exposed, and listened expressionlessly as the other man went from screaming to groaning, and then to falling silent.
Afterwards, he reorganized the Liyue Palace and continued to study the Wuji Record. After reaching the eighth level, he had no rivals in the entire martial arts world.
He is only twenty-one years old, but his internal strength is as profound as that of a martial arts master who is several decades old.
Even if hundreds of people ganged up on him, they rarely gained the upper hand.
Hearing this, Yu Tang felt heartbroken.
He couldn't imagine the immense suffering Chu Jiangli had endured behind his martial arts prowess.
He was blinded at the age of ten, plunging from light into darkness, and was imprisoned in a deserted place for three years...
If Yu Tang put himself in that situation and thought about it, he felt he would break down.
How could Chu Jiangli be so normal now, even rational?
"I have explained everything to you, Divine Doctor," Chu Jiangli said to Yu Tang. "Those reputable sects, under the guise of punishing evil and promoting good, and eliminating harm for the people, are nothing more than trying to seize the 'Wuji Record' from my body."
Since they like it, I'll use this to wreak havoc on the martial arts world, stirring up chaos between the righteous and evil factions, so that the world can see the true colors of these so-called martial arts heroes..."
"And I think that once everyone is gathered together, the truth about my mother's murder will come to light..."
At this point, Chu Jiangli paused, took out a string of sword tassels from the inside pocket of his clothes, held it by the top, and showed it to Yu Tang.
He pursed his lips and smiled, seemingly self-deprecatingly: "It's just a pity that although I have this sword tassel that can find out the identity of the murderer..."
But in the end, I only remembered its appearance in my heart, and now I can never see it again.
Therefore, it's unclear how to find the murderer who killed my mother.
Chu Jiangli had never told anyone about these things, and even the sword tassel was something that very few people had ever seen.
Now, however, she poured out her heart to Yu Tang as if spilling beans, revealing everything completely.
Yu Tang felt a mix of sadness and tenderness in her heart.
After thinking for a moment, he tugged at the red silk on Chu Jiangli's wrist, making the man turn to him.
She asked him earnestly, "Ah Li, can you trust me?"
Chu Jiangli was slightly taken aback, and only then did he vaguely realize that he seemed to have revealed too much to Yu Tang.
Despite having only known each other for a short time, he exposed his innermost thoughts and hidden vulnerabilities to the other person.
A sense of helplessness welled up inside him, and he unconsciously wanted to move to the side.
She wanted to distance herself from Yu Tang.
But when the man pulled the red silk, he froze and could no longer move.
"I..." Unable to avoid it, Chu Jiangli could only answer, biting her lip before saying, "I believe you..."
Yu Tang then smiled, her fingers tracing Chu Jiangli's eyebrows and eyes, and said earnestly, "Then let me be your eyes, to find your enemies and avenge your mother."
Do you agree?
Chapter 19
Died for the villain for the sixth time (19)
Chu Jiangli did not expect Yu Tang to say that.
What does it mean to become his eyes?
And help him find his enemies... How could a sickly doctor who had lived in seclusion in the mountains for so many years do that?
"Miracle doctor, what nonsense are you talking about..." he retorted instinctively, "How could you possibly help me?"
"My question is whether you agree or not." Yu Tang, exasperated by Chu Jiangli's quail-like temperament, couldn't help but reach out and flick Chu Jiangli on the head: "There are only two answers."
Yu Tang declared domineeringly, "Agree or disagree, choose one."
If anyone else had spoken to Chu Jiangli like that, Chu Jiangli probably wouldn't have let it go. But for some reason, when these words came from the man in front of him, he felt that he should obey and try to trust him.
The hidden corners of my heart were touched, and they became even more tender.
Chu Jiangli gently wiped his forehead with his finger, then followed his heart and replied with a soft "Mmm..."
At the same time, the system informed Yu Tang that the favorability rating had exceeded fifty and had stabilized at fifty-five.
Yu Tang wanted to tease him further, so she moved closer and said, "Just one 'hmm'? Does that mean you agree or disagree?"
Chu Jiangli didn't want to push him away, and her face flushed slightly: "I agree..."
"That's good, isn't it?" Yu Tang knew this meant Chu Jiangli was finally starting to accept him, and a smile bloomed on his face. He played with the red silk on the man's wrist and said, "Don't worry about me. One day we'll avenge our enemies together, and then... cough cough cough..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yu Tang suddenly started coughing.
I could feel something gnawing at my internal organs.
Finally, the pain gathered in his heart. Although he had taken pain medication, the strange feeling, accompanied by weakness and a feeling of suffocation, made him cough violently.
"A miracle doctor?!" Chu Jiangli noticed his unusual behavior and asked in a panic, "What's wrong with you?"
"medicine……"
Recognizing Yu Tang's voice, Chu Jiangli remembered Xiao Han's instructions to him and quickly found the medicine bottle in its usual place in the medicine box. He poured out two pills along with tea and gave them to Yu Tang.
But just as he handed over the pills, he felt a warmth on the back of his hand.
Upon realizing what the liquid was, Chu Jiangli's hand trembled.
Yu Tang quickly wiped the blood off the back of his hand with a handkerchief, and then drank the pill with the tea the other person handed her.
Even though the windows were closed, the stench of blood in the room grew stronger and stronger.
Chu Jiangli couldn't see anything, but he could sense that the flame belonging to Yutang was thinning out.
It's like it's about to disappear.
"Cough cough, Ali, what's wrong with you?" Yu Tang recovered and looked at the stunned Chu Jiangli, so he reached out and patted the other's shoulder: "Why are you acting like you've gone mad?"
Yu Tang was caught off guard when his hand was grabbed.
Sensing Chu Jiangli trembling, he quickly said, "This isn't the first or second time I've looked like this. Don't worry, it's just an old problem."
Chu Jiangli didn't speak, but silently tightened his grip on his hand.
Even if he didn't know much about medicine, he knew that vomiting blood was no minor ailment.
In the past, when Yu Tang coughed, we would carry him on our backs, and it had never been this serious as today.
Therefore, he had no idea that the other person had been suffering from such great pain.
This left him somewhat at a loss.
"You are a miracle doctor." After a long while, Chu Jiangli said, "Don't worry about my eyes for now. You should think about how to cure your own illness first."
If there are any medicinal herbs you need that you can't find, I will do everything I can to help you find them.
Yu Tang sighed inwardly as she looked at his serious expression.
His body didn't have many years left to live anyway, so this was just a waste to be used to detoxify Chu Jiangli.
When I die, I will donate my corneas to Chu Jiangli, and that will complete all my tasks.
As for living, even the former head of the Yu family couldn't save him, so there was no one in this world who could save him.
However, on the surface, he still had to comfort Chu Jiangli, and he grasped the man's hand back, nodding: "Okay, I understand. If we are short of medicinal herbs, I will definitely ask you, the Palace Master of Liyue Palace, for them. You won't be able to refuse."
Chu Jiangli was finally somewhat relieved.
Then she realized that she was still holding Yu Tang's hand and hurriedly tried to pull it away, but Yu Tang held it even tighter.
Yu Tang lowered the pillow, let his hands hang down, closed his eyes, and said confidently, "I was terrified when I saw you kill so many people."
So to prevent me from having nightmares, you have to hold my hand and not let go. Understand?
Chu Jiangli was slightly taken aback and wanted to refuse, but found that he couldn't find any loopholes in Yu Tang's words.
Feeling the warmth transmitted through their clasped hands, a blush slowly crept up to the tips of their ears.
In the end, he just grunted in agreement and didn't try to break free anymore.
The next day, just as dawn broke, people setting up their morning stalls opened their windows and stepped out of their homes. Upon seeing the human heads and limbs scattered on the street, they were stunned for a moment before collapsing to the ground, screaming in terror.
Before long, the town mayor arrived at the scene with officials. A large crowd of people had already gathered around. Seeing the bloody scene, several timid people turned pale and leaned against a nearby pillar to vomit.
The world is not at peace now. The tyranny of Prince Chen has caused turmoil in the martial arts world. In such battles, death is a common occurrence.
The officials quickly disposed of the body, cleaned the streets, and reported the matter to the higher-ups of those sects, saying that Chu Jiangli was probably not dead at all.
Even their martial arts skills haven't declined in the slightest, so they were told to be careful and avoid their sharp edge.
