I have a relic of heaven

Chapter 72: Old Friends Meet, Pavilion Shattered, Lake Split

Pushing open the door of the martial arts gym, Zhou Mu saw Chu Ji hesitating and wandering outside the door.

"Old Chu?"

He greeted:

"Why didn't you say hello when you came to the North District?"

Chu Ji looked sideways and waved his hand:
"I have traveled to the South District and the West District, and now I have just arrived in the North District."

He forced a smile, looking a little dazed.

Zhou Mu walked closer and said with a smile:
"I'll treat you well when you come. What happened?"

He noticed that something seemed to be wrong with Lao Chu.

Chu Ji's face showed hesitation again, and he finally shook his head:
"nothing."

He sighed softly and changed the subject:
"Old Zhou, do you remember what I told you when we were drinking that night?"

Zhou Mu was stunned for a moment, and then he recalled something in his mind:
"Lovesickness?"

"It's because people nowadays are timid." Chu Ji sighed lightly.

The little sister beside him was a little confused. Zhou Mu's thoughts turned and his expression became strange:

"Brother Chu, the person you miss is not in our martial arts hall, right?"

"Yeah." Chu Ji answered very straightforwardly this time.

"who is it?"

"Her last name is Yu."

At this point, Zhou Mu and Hu Leying widened their eyes and said in unison:
"who???"

Big. Big sister? ?

Hu Leying came forward suddenly, her eyes shining:
"Brother Chu! From what you said, it seems like you have a past with our senior sister?"

She looked at Zhou Mu again:

"Little Junior Brother, quickly tell me about the story of 'missing' and 'being afraid of being around people'!"

Zhou Mu resisted and stretched out his hand to push away the head that the little sister was leaning towards:

"Junior Sister, there is an old saying that curiosity kills the cat. Could you please stop being so gossipy?"

"Bagua?" The little sister blinked. "I don't know how to do it. Only the second brother knows how to do it. He is proficient in arithmetic and often draws things like the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams!"

Zhou Mu twitched his lips, then turned his gaze to Lao Chu, stepped forward, his eyes shining:
"Old Chu, from what you said, do you have any past with our senior sister?"

Chu Ji was speechless.

After a long time, he sighed:

"This is a long story."

Just as she finished speaking, the little sister ran back to the martial arts hall. After a while, she ran out with a plate of peanuts. She squatted in the corner, chewing peanuts and nodding, saying:

"Brother Chu, just tell me slowly!"

Chu Ji's eyelids twitched.

………………

In the end, Zhou Mu and Hu Leying dragged Chu Ji into the martial arts hall.

"Master went out for a walk, the eldest sister and second brother also went out to work, and the third brother is probably taking a nap in the practice room at the back."

The two men pressed Chu Ji to the small pavilion, one on each side, one holding a plate of peanuts, the other holding a handful of melon seeds, and they said in unison:

"Brother Chu, why don't you start from the beginning?"

Chu Ji felt a toothache.

Another long time.

He sighed and said simply:

"I have no face to see her."

The junior sister glared:
"Brother Chu, are you a heartless man?"

Zhou Mu also looked Lao Chu up and down and sighed:
"No wonder Senior Sister has no interest in anything all day, Lao Chu, Lao Chu..."

"What are you thinking?" Chu Ji felt his teeth ache even more: "I love her alone, how could I be unfaithful?"

"Who are you, Old Chu?"

Chu Ji was silent for a moment, feeling a little guilty, and said carefully:
"For some reason, I had some conflicts with her."

Zhou Mu ate some melon seeds and patted Lao Chu on the shoulder:

"Fight? That's normal. What couple in the world doesn't fight? Just coax them together."

"I punched her." Chu Ji said again.

Zhou Mu and the younger sister looked at each other, thinking of the older sister's physique that was like a mountain of flesh, and her terrifying strength.

There was silence for a while,

The junior sister put the peanuts aside, picked out a peanut, and placed it in her palm.
He clenched his other hand into a fist and smashed it hard on his palm. With a "pop" sound, the peanuts were smashed into powder:

"Are you sure it wasn't you who got punched?"

Neither of them took it too seriously, and Chu Ji just smiled bitterly without further explaining.

Zhou Mu patted his shoulder again:

"Many things can be solved by talking them out. My junior sister and I will help you to plead for mercy. Maybe this matter will just be over."

"Really?" Chu Ji asked cautiously. "How could it be false?"

The two of them spoke in unison, and then asked together:

"How did you fall in love in the first place?"

Chu Ji was stunned:
"It's a bit early, I can't remember it clearly at the moment."

The two of them looked at him with a hint of contempt.

"You still say you're not a heartless man!" spat the junior sister.

Chu Ji sighed softly and was silent for a long time before he recalled absentmindedly:
"Initially, she probably admired my heroic appearance and wanted to marry me."

"Wait a minute!" Zhou Mu and the little sister interrupted at the same time. They looked up and down at Chu Ji, whose hair was like a chicken coop and whose clothes were full of patches, and said with strange expressions:
"I admire your heroic spirit?"

"Will you listen to me?"

Chu Ji took out the wine flask in a bad mood and took a sip of wine:

"In short, she is by my side, and I am lucky to have met her and to be able to write a brilliant chapter together."

"Later, she and I went through a lot, but she was always there for me, no matter good or bad."

Chu Ji emphasized the words "life and death together" and murmured:
"I still remember that one time, we were in a very dangerous situation. She saw that I was depressed and sang a sad song for me, saying that since I was no longer ambitious, how could she survive in this world?"

The more he spoke, the lower his voice became.

Zhou Mu handed over a handful of melon seeds and consoled him:
"Didn't you guys get through that extremely dangerous situation? Aren't you all fine now?"

The junior sister nodded in agreement and couldn't help asking:

"Since we both love each other so deeply, how could it be so in the end..."

"It's my fault."

Chu Ji said quietly:
"I once believed in a method, [Those who cut off their emotions, desires, and thoughts are saints], so I did this."

"And then you punched the senior sister?" Hu Leying was puzzled.

"Yeah, the process was quite tortuous, but this is the ending." Chu Ji nodded hesitantly.

Zhou Mu was amazed:

"You want to kill the one you like first, right? Old Chu, have you ever been so obsessed? Fortunately, nothing serious happened."

He thought of the pressure from his senior sister and the destroyed Tianxiang Pavilion, and shrank his neck:
"Old Chu, the fact that you are still alive shows that the senior sister is thinking of you."

Chu Ji looked a little strange. He wanted to say something but didn't know where to start. Finally, he sighed and drank alone.

Just at this moment, there was a noise outside the martial arts hall. The big sedan chair stopped, accompanied by the conversation between the eldest sister and the second brother.

"Here they come!" The little sister's expression brightened up, and Zhou Mu also stood up: "Little sister and I will go out and take a look, Lao Chu, don't worry!"

Chu Ji didn't say anything, just drank silently.

Zhou Mu and Hu Leying ran out of the martial arts hall in a hurry and saw the eldest sister and second brother each carrying a few long cloth packages and getting off the carriage.

"Senior Sister, Second Senior Brother."

Zhou Mu greeted:
"Are you done?"

"Ah."

The eldest sister nodded calmly:
"Why did you come out specially to greet me?"

Hu Leying approached carefully and said mysteriously:

"Big sister, we have a guest at the martial arts gym!"

"Ok?"

"It's an old friend of yours!"

The eldest sister paused, glanced at the melon seeds and peanuts in the two people's hands, and narrowed her eyes slightly:
"My old friend?"

"Are you sure, this is my old friend?"

She emphasized the word "old friend" and shook her head slightly:
"Or is this a liar from somewhere?"

"Big sister, why don't you go and take a look?"

Yu Meiren pondered for a moment, then walked towards the martial arts hall.
The second brother, Zhou Mu, and Hu Leying followed the eldest sister and walked side by side to the martial arts hall.

He wondered:
"what happened?"

"It's Old Chu." Zhou Mu said in a low voice: "He and the senior sister have a relationship."

Before they could finish their words, they had already walked into the martial arts hall, and the eldest sister also saw Chu Ji drinking in the pavilion.

She was suddenly stunned, and the several long cloth packages in her arms fell to the ground, creating a little smoke and dust.

Chu Ji also stood up from the pavilion, holding a wine jug, and stared blankly at Yu Meiren.

"I'm coming!!"

The little sister excitedly snatched a handful of melon seeds from Zhou Mu's hand and ate them vigorously:

"Who will cry first?"

As soon as she finished speaking, they saw the eldest sister bend her knees and jump onto the ground.

With the sudden explosion of rolling waves, the flesh-like poppy rushed up to a height of one hundred meters.

Then, in front of everyone's dull gazes, he raised his fist high, his blood and energy surged, his muscles and bones roared like thunder, and he smashed down fiercely!

'boom! ! ’

The small pavilion was shattered in an instant, the artificial lake was torn apart by the shock, and huge waves several meters high were raised, and smoke and dust billowed up.
