Long Sorrow Song - C88
The 873 people who were fighting with Ling Mumei had all been defeated, so why could a single woman defeat Ling Mumei and make him permanently place himself at the bottom of Fallen Goose Peak? How did Ling Mumei survive to become like this? Ye Wen Han was full of questions, and was very curious about Ling Mumei’s entire life. Curiosity comforted Ye Mo Han’s impatience to leave the valley and get nowhere.
“Senior Ling, please forgive Ye Han for his earlier rudeness.” Ye Mo Han was bowing in the valley. He could not help but feel ashamed when he thought back to how he had been neglectful of him a few days ago.
“I thought no one in the martial arts world would remember me.” When Ling Mumei heard Ye Mo Han say this, she could not help but reveal the joy on her face.
Everyone was afraid of being forgotten by others, especially the elderly, afraid that their children would forget them.
Ling Mumei had never asked a single word about how Ye Mo Han fell off the cliff. This saved Ye Mo Han from his embarrassment. Regarding this matter, Ye Mo Han was indeed unwilling to bring it up again. After all, he was sure that he had been careless when he had been ambushed by Zhang Qingwu. Ling Mumei did not ask anything about Ye Mo Han’s fate. Was it because he was also unwilling to tell others about his fate? Although Ye Mo Han had thought of this, he still wanted to ask Ling Mumei what had happened to him. If a person had a curious heart, they would definitely think of ways to satisfy it.
“Senior.” “” Ye Mo Han said sincerely. I heard that in your last battle last year, you were defeated by a woman, and then you disappeared from the martial arts world. ”
“You know quite a lot.” Ling Mumei did not refute Ye Mo Han, which made Ye Mo very happy. Presumably, Ling Mumei had been living at the bottom of the valley for a long time. She had spent her days swimming in the spring, and her plum blossom and bird were her neighbors. She definitely felt very lonely at the bottom of her heart. Lonely people often needed someone to confide in, regardless of their age.
“I have indeed been defeated by a woman, but I lost willingly and wholeheartedly.” Ling Mumei’s direct explanation also made Ye Wen feel cold.
“Since she was able to make senior acknowledge her in such a manner, then her martial arts must be quite impressive as well. It’s a pity that the bed was set a few decades earlier, otherwise, we would have been able to witness the glory of these two seniors.” Ye Mo Han did not flatter her, and his words were very sincere.
Ling Mumei turned and walked back to the hut, Ye Mo Han respectfully following behind. Ling Mumei walked over to the spring and sat down on the ground. She then beckoned Ye Mo Han to sit down, “It’s rare that you’ve heard of me. It’s fate that you fell from such a high place and didn’t die. In less than a hundred years, people will eventually become a pile of dirt. What remains will be memories that people can admire or curse at. ”
In the last two sentences, Ye Mo Han couldn’t help but feel a sense of sorrow. That’s right, life only lasted a hundred years. However, it was not easy for one to bring honor and respect to others, and it was not easy for others to scold and insult one another. There was no easier way to become the kind of person who only gave names to their descendants. Their entire lives were blank, without any ups and downs, without any thrills, only comfort, and a feeling of intoxication.
Ling Mumei had fallen to the bottom of the cliff at the time when he was at his most famous. His opponent was a girl, who was originally unknown in the martial arts world. Her name was also very ordinary, so ordinary that you would not be able to remember it after listening to it for a while. That woman was called Lu Jing Chen. When Ling Mumei defeated four hundred people, she was called the ‘Three First’. Even if his martial arts was the best in the world, his zither and chess were the best in the world, and his swordsmanship was also the best in the world. How could a nameless woman from the martial arts world defeat Ling Mumei? Before Ye Chanhan could raise his question, Ling Mumei had already given him an answer because he was deeply attracted to Lu Jingchen.
From what Ling Mumei could see, Lu Jingchen was an otherworldly woman with an unparalleled beauty and a calm personality. He would always remain calm as if nothing had happened. The reason why she had no name in the martial arts world was because she never walked in the martial arts world. Ling Mumei said that Lu Jingchen did not want to walk in the martial arts world, but she still found Ling Mumei and wanted to compete with her in swordsmanship and zither and chess battles. In terms of martial arts, Lu Jingchen was the first to admit that she was inferior to Ling Mumei. From the looks of it, it was probably because Lu Jingchen was the first to show weakness that made Ling Mumei agree to fight with a weak girl over sword techniques and Zither Chess.
As for why Lu Jingchen wanted to spar with Ling Mumei on zither chess and swordsmanship, Ling Mumei did not mention it. Ling Mumei thought that once she agreed to fight with Lu Jingchen, the two would fight. Qin Guan would have two rounds and his sword arts would be one. In three rounds, he would win both of them. However, Lu Jingchen did not directly fight with Ling Mumei, but instead made an agreement to have a duel every year. Ling Mumei thought this was very interesting, and in his heart, it was mostly because of the woman in front of him, who was about to stage fright. After Lu Jingchen left, Ling Mumei forgot about it and smiled. At that time, Ling Mumei’s name was known throughout the world, and no matter where he was, he was treated as a distinguished guest. Not only could he discuss dao with the Sect Leader of Wu Dang, he could also meditate with the Sect Leader of Shaolin. Of course, he had never lacked women, but no matter how beautiful a woman was, Ling Mumei would only have one night of fun with her. A famous man has always been like this.
Ling Mumei did not take her agreement with Lu Jingchen to heart, but after one year, Lu Jingchen appeared in the Wudang Sect. Ling Mumei was invited by the Wudang Sect Leader to play chess with him. The moment Lu Jingchen appeared, Ling Mumei was stunned for a long time. When she saw Lu Jingchen again, Ling Mumei found that she was even more beautiful than last time. At that time, the two were competing in chess, and the Sect Leader of the Wudang Sect was the notary. In Ling Mumei’s words, it was the first time in his life that he had met his match. Both of them fell slowly, so the three matches took two days and two nights. For the past two days and two nights, the two of them had been neither eating nor sleeping, completely immersed in the game. It was as if what was placed in front of them was not a board, but rather a huge battle diagram. In these three rounds, Ling Mumei won. Ling Mumei admitted that it was during these two days and nights that he fell in love with her opponent, Lu Jingchen.
This match had also made the Sect Leader of the Wudang Sect admire Lu Jingchen immensely. He wanted Lu Jingchen to stay behind and take her and Ling Mumei as the guests of the Wudang Sect. Ling Mumei thought about being with Lu Jing Chen for a few more days, and her heart was filled with joy. At this moment, Ling Mumei no longer had her arrogance in front of other girls. Her arrogance had become a form of courtesy in front of Lu Jingchen. A talented person who treated all women as playthings would actually fall in love with a woman. How could this not make other women envious? However, the other women did not have the chance to see Ling Mumei’s attentive look, because after two days, Lu Jingchen had suddenly left without saying a word. Ling Mumei searched the entire world, but found nothing.
Ling Mumei blankly stared at the cliff in front of her, and muttered: “She just suddenly appeared and then suddenly disappeared, as if there was never such a person in the world.”
In the long river of life, there would always be people who suddenly appeared and then suddenly disappeared. These people didn’t stay by your side for too long, but they could take up all your future memories. Ye Jianhan knew that Lu Jingchen was the person in Ling Mumei’s life who had suddenly disappeared.
