The plain white robes bear traces of old age, and the yellowing patches indicate the age of the robes. Even so, the old man's meticulousness can still be detected from the neat appearance. With his hands clasped behind his back, the immortal curtain walked towards Jack in a white saunter. "Oh... don't beat me to death like this."
Originally he was so fierce that he planned to destroy everything in sight in one go, but now Jack just sighed. "Of course, I feel cold when I see you. I have no energy to fight." He squinted his eyes and looked at the two swords stuck in the field. "Songwen Gudingjian, Evil Soul Sharp Blade, Crazy Qingzi and Lu Shishi are all here. Who else among you is here?"
An old voice came from the air. "Except for Boss Liu, who is already waiting for the autumnal equinox at Tianmen Cliff, everyone else has probably arrived." Only a dozen old men were seen slowly descending from the air, each occupying one side. At the same time, dozens of people descended from behind Mu Feibai. When Jack saw this, he sighed again.
"You are all here, why don't you take action to stop what's going on here?" Mu Feibai asked the others, but saw one of them yelling. "Nineteen years of work must be completed in one year, and everyone is busy enough. This year, we actually have to finish it before the autumnal equinox. We are already so busy. Of course, if there is a good show, we should see it first. My old bones can't bear the torment. What's more, you can teach me which side to help, don't tell me that I will cause misfortune to all living beings."
"Oh~ you guys are just afraid of the world being in chaos." Mu Feibai cursed in a low voice. At the same time, in the Pleiades camp, a young and energetic boy came out and cursed: "Where did you come from, old man? I am not interested in your business here. I will carefully tear apart your old bones..."
The strange sword, which Jack called the Evil Soul Blade, suddenly rose from the ground and rolled towards the young man who was yelling. The Tai Chi pattern flipping and rolling in the air - the two mirrors also move at the same time. The two strange soldiers fought against each other in the young man's circle. The sound of clanging was probably no less than a hundred times, and then they flew away. The young man lost all his hair and clothes, but luckily there was no flesh injury at all. He fell to the ground in shock.
"Alas, young men should be cautious in their words and deeds."
"What...what do you mean...?" The young man only asked intermittent questions in response to Mu Feibai's sigh. The old man who took back the Evil Soul Blade, Lu Shishi, glanced at the young man sitting on the ground, and then examined his magic weapon carefully. "That is to say, you have no place to speak here, so you'd better shut up." He put his hand away and the Evil Spirit Blade turned into a silver bead and put it into his sleeve.
After seeing these tricks, everyone recalled the legend they had heard for a long time, and even coveted the inconspicuous iron plate, just because "whoever gets the Martial God's Order can exchange one thing for another wish." They looked around with greedy eyes, and their greedy looks were clearly revealed. It was impossible to find out who took the lead in the direction of the Martial God Order. A greedy group of people began to use various means to fight for the iron plate, and even fight.
The Liangyi Huntian Mirror rotated rapidly, shuttled among the lights and shadows of swords. Under the magic weapon that Mu Feibai carefully cultivated, all the common weapons and customs were shattered in an instant like paper and clay sculptures. Everyone was surprised by Mu Feibai's actions, and one of the strong men questioned aloud. "Could it be that the Token of the God of Martial Arts was given to help others fulfill their wishes? Now that the token only has one side, we are going to seize the Token of the God of Martial Arts, why would your Majesty stop us."
"Oh~ Look at how you always like to listen to half of what you say, remember half of what you say, and think about half of what you say. Can't you change this bad habit earlier?" Mu Feibai slowly walked towards Songwen's ancient sword, stretched out his hand to pick up the dark Martial God Token, and weighed it. After a while. "The people in the Jianghu and the things in the Jianghu are nothing more than gratification and seeking fame and fortune. Only the Jianghu can do these things. No matter who wants to be the emperor,--" Min Zhanlian was shocked as if a big mallet hit his chest, "- "Whether it's to avenge brothers," the owner of Mingjian Villa Shi Er, who was staying at the back, was equally surprised, "--what do you think we have to do to help us who have long since left the mortal world? The Martial God Order can be exchanged for one thing. I wish I was correct, but each Martial God Token has already decided who its holder will be from the beginning of its creation. Only those we think are worthy of helping, valuable to help, and those in need, will we truly help. Rather than you just competing for the Martial God Order. These rules were established thousands of years ago. Unfortunately, you always like to remember the parts you want to remember, and you only like to listen to the words you want to hear."
Raising his left hand, the inconspicuous dark iron sign passed through the crowd and was received by Master Shi Er. "Oh~ Brother Xilin asked me to handle the affairs here. I really don't want to deal with these grievances. Fortunately, the Tu family is good at controlling floods, and the weather in the southeast has been good for the past hundred years. I have been free for a while, so I can find some Let's do it. Tell me, Shi Er, do you have any wishes that you would like me to help you fulfill?"
"Help me get rid of Jack!" Master Shi Er of Mingjian Villa did not hesitate to say what he wanted to achieve the most when he showed up. Mu Feibai also agreed without thinking. Everyone present was shocked, except Jack himself who didn't have any big reaction.
"Shi Er, since you have made the request, listen carefully to my conditions. If you can agree, the Martial God's covenant will be established, and the Martial God's order will be the contract of agreement.──" The master of Shi Er Village listened carefully and made up his mind. No matter what the conditions are, the idea is to get rid of the enemy in front of you, "──The condition is that I will teach you martial arts, and you will solve this matter yourself, and you are not allowed to do it to others."
After hearing the conditions clearly, Master Shi Er was just dumbfounded. "What...what! Since you have promised me, why don't you kill this madman!"
He walked calmly and slowly to the owner of Shi Er Village, and Mu Feibai wrote word for word: "Brother's hatred is yours, not mine. You don't even think about getting rid of your enemy with your own hands. Do you really hate Jack?" ? Let me teach you martial arts. Although I can't say that I will definitely make you unparalleled in martial arts, but as long as you practice well, defeating this man is not a dream. Besides, Jack is very human, and you cannot use ordinary methods to defeat him. If your hatred does not If it is not enough to support you in breaking through the realm of ordinary people, then it would be better for you not to think about revenge in your life. Then you have to ask yourself, is the hatred you have as deep as you imagined? Coupled with the grievances and grievances in the world, there is no awareness at all. It is a stupid thing to imitate others and go around in the world. Who is qualified to loudly say that he is innocent even though he is a member of the world? You say he is crazy and has killed countless people. In my eyes, you sent a lot of people to die, and he killed a lot of people. Those who seek death, the number of lives you should bear is actually about the same. What's the difference between you and him?"
A series of questions made Master Shi Erzhuang speechless, and tears fell down his cheeks. Mu Feibai, who stopped in front of Master Shi Er, spoke again: "Besides, as for me, there are three reasons why I can't and don't want to take action. First, I never interfere in any grievances in the world, just because once I take care of it, there will be no end. If It's not Brother Xilin's request, but I still don't want to take action on this matter. Teaching you martial arts is already the maximum concession I can make."
"The second reason," Mu Feibai turned to face the group of people closer to Jack, "-I can help you, which means other people can also help him. If the matter can be limited to you and Jack , it will be much easier to deal with. The dispute between Tao and Demon has been silent for thousands of years, and I don't want to cause any more troubles." Everyone in the white-faced scene unconsciously showed a strange smile, as if a child was being guessed. .
"The third reason is that Jack and Valkyrie have agreed to fight during the autumnal equinox this year. There are only a few days left before the autumnal equinox, and it is still unknown whether he will live or die by then. Whether he can survive until the moment when you seek revenge on him , and no one can say for sure. Even if you want to take revenge, you should wait until that day has passed. With luck, it's easy to pick one up." Mu Feibai, who turned to look at Jack, also saw that weird picture expression. With a wry smile, he seemed to be saying that if you miss the opportunity in this kind of thing, you can't blame him.
"Master~" Master Shi Er didn't think much anymore. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed more than ten times.
"That's enough, that's enough. You have a lot to learn. If you bruise your head, you have no one to blame." Mu Feibai held up his new apprentice. Shi Er wiped away his tears and asked: "Master, I wonder where we are going to start training?" As soon as he said this, the entire group of Mingjian Villa who followed Master Shi Er frowned. Two of the three heads have lost their lives, and the last one is gone. What will happen to the entire village? Everyone has something to say, and no one teaches him that his status is low.
"Go back to your Mingjian Villa. Leaving such a huge property alone will only hurt your crops. I just can't bear to see the hard-working people suffer more. Anyway, if you have the intention to practice, it will be the same everywhere; if you don't have the intention to practice, it will be the same , it's the same everywhere. When you practice kung fu, you first get beaten, and when you learn martial arts, you learn your mind first. There are a lot of things you really have to do."
"Yes." Following Mu Feibai's footsteps, Shi Er put aside all hesitation and decided to move towards the only goal. The group at Mingjian Villa no longer had any objections to Mu Feibai's understanding, and left one after another behind the second master.
Although only a handful of people left, the atmosphere in the venue completely changed. The group of old men approaching Jack all looked ready to make a move, eager to kill the frightened martial arts hero in front of them. Seeing that the situation was beyond control, Min Zhanlian shouted and retreated. Anyway, the green hills are still there, so I am not afraid of running out of firewood, and I am thinking about the next move in my heart. At the same time, most of the Knife Weasels scattered into the woods in all directions, leaving only a few to take care of their seriously injured companions. Of course, these injured rats were all Jack's work. It's just that the cunning Knife Weasels have always had a clear distinction between grudges and grudges, and they can always find the right time to be wild and quiet.
Seeing the Alcyonians dispersed, the Tu family finally breathed a sigh of relief. Jack forgot about Tianmen Jingshan and turned back to Tujiazhuang Courtyard. Tu Yingxiang, who was lucky enough to have only a few minor injuries, saw it and just pointed at Jack with his hands on his waist and yelled: "Hey! You have made this place so virtuous, and you want to leave without saying a word!"
The group of people who were still awake took a deep breath and widened their eyes, wondering what retribution Tu Yingxiang would suffer next. Jack, who stared back coldly, saw that Miss Tu's whole body was hairy when she was talking randomly, and then he spoke. "Is it possible that if I have to clearly engraved on my face "Keep away from strangers and avoid strangers", then you will know not to approach me casually? You are seeking death and doing my shit." He turned around and walked into the door of Tu's house. , even passing by the matchmaker, Taoist Qiao, etc. who were lying on the ground, they all showed disdain. "Anyway, the ghost old lady is here. She can't live, and she can't die. What should I worry about?"
"Hey! I only know how to heal people, but I can't heal them. Besides, you kid, are you asking me for help?" An old woman who came with the scene in a blur looked at Jack and shouted: "Hey~ You have to say something when you ask someone. "Please" the word.
"Go and eat shit, you damn old woman!"
Jie Fangshu, who walked out from behind the old woman, joked: "Just think of his words as a request. Anyway, this awkward boy's tutor can only go so far. If you ask for more, it will be too demanding."
"Really, today's young people can't even write the four words "respect the elderly and respect the virtuous"."
The heavy rain outside the window was washing away the blood stains left by the fighting on the field, and it seemed to be draining away the knot in Jack's heart. How long has it been since he felt like this? The last time was when Sally passed away; the last time was when Adam left; the last time was like the moment when I opened my eyes for the first time...
Those who could move up and down the Tu family were busy handing out water, brewing medicine, and bandaging injuries; some people braved the heavy rain to pick up the lifeless bodies. The group of golden-haired rats has disappeared without a trace, and no one is sure of their whereabouts. A small number of the Qinglong Banner troops brought by Sima Xiao went out to explore the situation outside, fearing that Min Zhanlian would turn around and attack. Jack's old acquaintances also had no time to spare, relying on their skills plus one plus ten thousand years to heal everyone's internal injuries. Although it is not so angry that it cures the disease, it does make it less painful. In short, everyone is busy, but our sword master seems to be in the jungle of the crowd. To him, the noise of the outside world is just a breeze and has nothing to do with him.
The old-timer known as Ghost Qiniang among the elders was dealing with the matchmaker who was most seriously injured. Undoubtedly, when everyone saw the matchmaker's embarrassment, they all thought that it was more serious than bad. It's just that Gui Qingniang, who was locked up in the wing room with the matchmaker, has been locked up for an hour, and he hasn't seen her come out to break the bad news.
The old woman who opened the door sighed with a regretful expression. Surprisingly, Jack turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I don't know who put a banana in that little girl's arms. With this miracle medicine in hand, the old woman is even more powerful. And as usual, her heart is in a different direction than ordinary people, and the long sword just avoided it. Otherwise, even I, an old woman, might not be able to save her."
"We've been rescued, so why are you sighing?" Jack tilted his head, wondering, and suddenly he noticed something strange. "Wait a minute, you just said "according to convention", what do you mean?"
"Did I say that?"
"have."
"Really? No."
"Yes! I heard it with both ears, and everyone saw it with both eyes. How dare you say you didn't."
"I didn't say that!"
"If I say you have it, you have it!"
"Are you rescuing people, or am I rescuing people! Me? Say? No? Yes? Just? Yes? No? Yes! I'm not happy that you should be the one to save the old woman, so I can save the effort."
For a moment, Jack couldn't think of a word to retort, he just stared at Ghost Ginniang. The old woman just walked aside, picked up Jie Qi's broken leg, and looked at the pale cheek. Jie Liang, who was beside him, relied on Jie Fangshu's help and finally regained some color, but he was unable to move. After peeling off a small piece of banana and putting it in Jie Liang's mouth, Gui Qiniang ordered a group of young men to carry Jie Qi into the ear room. At the same time, another group of people carried the matchmaker out and placed her in the open space next to Jack. The two doors to the wing were closed again.
Looking at the round face with no blood, the painful expression seemed like he was having a nightmare. Jack just cursed in a low voice: "Although I've known you were stupid for a long time, I really didn't expect you to be this stupid. Can you be a little more measured?" After saying that, he looked out the window into the heavy rain. The matchmaker's expression seemed to have softened a lot after hearing the reassuring voice, and she fell into a deep sleep.
It has been raining heavily for several days, and everyone who needs to wake up has woken up, except that they can't move yet. Among the people who followed Jack to the Tu family, Yan Yan was the least injured, only leaving two short shallow scars on her forehead. Under the thin bangs, the girl's attentiveness is reflected in every little detail. She is also taking care of other injured people who have not yet recovered. She just deliberately avoided certain people, with a look of frustration on her face from time to time. Even though she said she didn't care, those two scars still hurt the little girl's heart.
Jie Qi, who has become short-legged, still has to use a wooden stick to walk, but at least he can take care of himself and serve his elder brother who is seriously injured to drink porridge. Both Taoist Qiao and Matchmaker were still lying on the bed, for different reasons of course; one was because their brains that were about to explode had not yet calmed down; the other was simply because they were too seriously injured and had not yet woken up. Lu Zhong, who had only one arm left, and Lan Xiufang, who suffered both internal and external injuries, had been reincarnated with a bowl of wine and a large piece of meat, just like a starving ghost. ...their injuries? Oh, those with higher skills are more likely to be beaten. This is normal.
Three days ago, Tu Kui had informed the Tu family to give up the position of head of the family to his eldest son Tu Zhengxian, and he would no longer manage any affairs. At the same time, we also encourage those who are behind to be proactive, but we must still remember that the Tu family can control the southeast by controlling water. Putting the people first is the highest principle pursued by the leaders of the Tu family in the past dynasties. Seeking progress without disturbing the people and leading the southeast toward a more suitable future are completely left to the people of this era, not an old man with half a foot in the coffin. Although he said that, Tu Kui, who had relieved his shoulders of responsibilities, seemed to be more than ten years younger. He just sipped tea in a comfortable mood all day long and chatted with the old men who were much older than him. . Although sometimes he would express regret, lamenting why he didn't have the enlightenment he had now earlier.
It rained very heavily today, and there was faint thunder in the distance. During these rainy days, Jack occupied the small pavilion in the courtyard - the marble railing on the east side of the Pavilion of Fragrance and Water. He was in the same position today. Tu Kui stood in front of the window sill in the hall, looking at the slightly frail figure. This man was never as strong as others imagined.
"Grandpa, grandpa..." Tu Yingxiang rushed into the hall in a panic. The former head of the Tu family just gave him a look, and the arrogant woman everyone said was still shocked. He quickly brought out all the etiquette that was not commonly used, and said hello to the seniors present according to the rules before coming to his grandfather. "Grandpa, my uncle asked me to inform you that the Second Master Sima has sent news that Angstrian and another Blue Dragon Flag ship have been found. However, although there are traces of fighting on the ship, not a single person can be seen. Close. Thousands of martial arts tycoons and those under the Qinglong banner all disappeared without a trace, leaving only over a hundred boats drifting on the Tangsha River. Wuruo and Guan Mang, who had followed Jack and the others before, all left. Tracking the person they're after."
"Yeah, I understand." Tu Kui just nodded. It seems that although I put down one thing on my mind, I brought up another one. But now that the power has been handed over, it's no longer my turn to worry. However, the intermediary Fang Shu behind him took a sip of hot tea and then said calmly: "It seems that the rat's habit of eating people without spitting out bones has not changed."
Rats eat humans? It seemed that the answer couldn't be more obvious, and Tu Kui also solved a question that had just been raised in his mind. Instead, Tu Yingxiang looked at Senior Jie in confusion. "You mean those golden rats? Why don't I think they are really that good?"
After saying haha, Jie Fangshu smiled slightly and looked at the little girl in front of him. "Don't forget that on that day, you had a rat in your hands. The rats were afraid that someone would order their companions to jump to the edge of the knife, so they didn't try their best. They have always cared about the feelings of the same kind, and those big rats Rats are much more clear-cut in their grievances than you and I. A group of people who overestimate their capabilities provoke them again and again, and it is not difficult to guess what the result will be. It seems that the group of Aldecans and Qinglongqi you mentioned are ferocious. Good luck."
"Really?" "Long~!" Suddenly a thunderbolt struck nearby, and the loud noise frightened Tu Yingxiang. She hurriedly rubbed her ear beads and murmured: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, General Xi Lei is here... Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, General Xi Lei is here."
"General Cleansing Thunder?──" Gui Qingniang chuckled, "──there are still people who remember this tradition."
Tu Yingxiang, who was holding her ear beads with both hands, blushed, pouted and looked at the ghost girl who was teasing her. "My mother taught me to do this whenever I encountered thunder when I was little."
"Then do you know the reason for this tradition?"
Faced with Gui Qiniang's question, Tu Yingxiang just shook her head, and all the immortal-level seniors smiled broadly. The old lady Gui Qiniang also laughed for a while before she began to tell: "About 4500 or 600 years ago, the southeast was dominated by the Zhou Dynasty, and Emperor Zhou Hui was a rare and famous emperor at that time.──" On the side Lu Shishi sighed: "What kind of gentleman is that guy? He's nonsense." All the seniors glared at Lu Shishi, "──On a rainy day, a thunderbolt also fell that day, which scared me. Emperor Hui of Zhou was admiring the rain scene. At that time, he casually made a joke and asked who was going to catch Thunder Lord. Unexpectedly, the next day, a first-grade guard with a sword came to Emperor Hui of Zhou with a bird-shaped monster captured. In front of me. It was a violent storm that day, except for the rumbling thunder. After asking, it was found that the strange bird-shaped man was actually the real Thunder Lord. Feng Bo and Yu Master were also angry and caused trouble because of the Thunder Lord's capture. Fortunately, Emperor Hui of Zhou took the risk In the wind and rain, he went to Wuyang Mountain to offer sacrifices to heaven and respectfully sent the Thunder Lord back to his throne, which calmed down the disaster. Although it caused a disaster, the guard with the sword was deeply appreciated by Emperor Hui of Zhou and named him after him. With the achievement of capturing the Duke of Thunder, I was awarded the title of General of Cleansing Thunder. Then I went to battle on the battlefield and won every battle."
"Wow~" Tu Yingxiang was fascinated by the story told by Gui Qingniang. "Then, what did the guard with the sword do?"
The smiling old lady just held out three fingers. "Three words, Liu Xilin."
..."Ah...that..." Tu Yingxiang looked at Jack outside, and then pointed to the top of Tianmen Jingshan Mountain outside the window.
"That's Liu Xilin."
After confirming certain things, Tu Yingxiang completely ignored the identity of the girl and behaved in an indecent manner by scratching her head. "It's better to be a person who just screams and screams like this. Don't jump. It's okay to become an immortal. So do Jack, Lu Zhong, and Lan Xiufang really have any hope of winning?"
"Regardless of whether it is true or not, when we see the real chapter in two days, there will only be two outcomes: losing and winning. No matter how much you guess now, it is useless." Jie Fangshu picked up the tea bowl and took another sip of hot tea.
But the matchmaker who suddenly appeared at the door of the hall startled Tu Yingxiang. "He...where is he?"
Tu Yingxiang knew who "he" was here without the matchmaker explaining it clearly. Pointing out the window, he saw the man sitting at the bottom of the Pavilion of Fragrance and Water. The injury has not completely healed, and the beauty, who is barely able to move, is about to rush out. When Tu Yingxiang saw this, he quickly pulled the matchmaker down. "Looking at the way you walk, I can tell that your injury is not healed yet. It's raining so heavily outside. If you have to go out, you should at least bring an umbrella. You are so sick that you haven't seen that man feel distressed."
The matchmaker who insisted on going her own way did not listen to the advice. She just followed Tu Yingxiang's instructions and found an oil umbrella. Then she put on her thin coat and walked to Xianghe Shuixie alone. Looking at the back, most people sighed. But a few seniors showed excitement about watching a show.
At the autumnal equinox, the weather is sunny. The twin peaks of Dutianmen Jingshan Mountain are surrounded by clouds and mist, blocking the wonders of Tianmen like a treasure cover.
