Double-Edged Swords

Undercurrents in the rivers and lakes, lonely shadows in the forest, everyone in the world knows that assassins are heartless and ruthless on the blade, but who has ever remembered that those young men holding sharp blades also held a small wooden sword, trying to protect the gentle children in the world. Shen Wujiu and Jiang Jinan are the two most silent swords in the Duying Sect. One is dressed in black, with a long sword at his side, as cold as a star on a cold night. He is used to walking alone, hiding all his emotions in the dark where no one can see, and when he sits alone, he is only filled with loneliness; the other is dressed in navy blue, with darts hidden in his sleeves, and his posture is as tall and straight as a pine tree. He seems indifferent and distant, but he hides the softest old memories in his heart. They were born in the dust and grew up in the darkness. They have seen the warmth and coldness of human nature and the suffering of the world since childhood. They were pushed by fate to walk on the edge of a knife and became assassins who did not care about their birth date or return date. Even birthday greetings were just a courtesy to show their loyalty according to the rules without any warmth. But no one knew that during those young days when no one cared about him, it was Jiang Jinan who held the insignificant little wooden sword and stood in front of the bullied Shen Wujiu without hesitation, protecting his remaining dignity with his childish body. That glimmer of light entered Shen Wu Jiu's bones and blood from that moment on, becoming his only thought in the long darkness. In the years that followed, they stood side by side at the top of Chang'an City, watching the bright lights of thousands of families, but none of them had anything to do with them. The night was dark and the mountain wind was biting. Two young assassins who did not reveal their true faces, with swords as allies and darts as trust, silently guarded each other in the bloody rivers and lakes. They don't need words or talking, they only need one look to know what the other person is thinking. There are no vigorous oaths, no tender companionship, only two-way running in the dark, and mutual support in the cold night. They are assassins walking in the shadows and the only light in each other's lives. Despite the long journey and cold hearts, they still stick to the original intention of the small wooden sword, fighting against the coldness of the world with their youthful edge, and illuminating each other's return journey with their double-edged swords. This is a tender past hidden in the assassin's career, a two-way redemption born from darkness and returning to light. It tells you: Even if you are in the darkest valley, there are people who are willing to hold a sword for you. Even if your whole life is a sharp blade, you are still willing to be a person, put away all your sharp edges, only keep one original intention, and protect a deep love. Intention: Two lonely young men, with a wooden sword and a dart, are each other's glimmer of light in the darkness, protecting each other with their lives and guarding each other with their hearts. Even though the rivers and lakes are cold and cold, they still live up to each other and their original aspirations.
