Chapter Seventy-Eight: Talking at Night
Zhao Hong lifted the wine jar with one hand, took a sip and said: "Haha, happy! I can't imagine that I, Zhao Hong, will one day drink with the personal disciples of the Guantian Daoist, and I will be able to do it in my life! In the future, when I am old, I will be able to brag to my juniors!"
Yue Min hugged the wine jar and smiled: "This is the first time I've drunk like this, haha! I don't know until now, this is really called drinking, I think my previous wine was all in vain!"
I laughed and said, "Look at the two of you who don't know anything." Besides, Zhao Hong, you are not drinking with my master's personal disciple, you are drinking with me You Yuzhen. β
Zhao Hong smiled and said, "Haha, yes! I'm drinking with Brother You! Come, I respect you!"
I took a sip of wine and said to Yue Min: "By the way, little girl, can you Yue family refine a magic weapon that can fight with Mo Feiyuan's sword?"
Yue Min said in an exaggerated tone: "Can you have a magic weapon with his sword!?What are you kidding me?!His sword is specially made by Zhuyan Villa, and the materials used are all superb materials accumulated by the Sword Sect for many years, how can we make it!"
I said, "It seems that as I thought, it is not easy to get a weapon that I can use." β
Zhao Hong asked, "Brother You, have you practiced weapons before?" I remember that the old man of the Guantian Dao is not good at using weapons, right?"
I sighed and said, "It's true that my master didn't teach me how to use weapons, but after fighting Mo Feiyuan yesterday, I found that I didn't have a weapon in my hand, which was a great loss. β
I threw a peanut into my mouth and continued, "Against a master like him, it's impossible to rely on exercises alone. But I can't catch his sword with my bare hands! If I had a weapon in my hand yesterday, I would have been able to fight him for a long time. β
Yue Min said: "Oh! Brother You, that's the Sword Sect, the pinnacle of swordsmanship in the world! It's not a shame to lose to the genius of the Sword Sect, Mo Feiyuan." β
I said, "It's not a shame, we may encounter a lot of enemies in the future." Since the Sword Sect's Mo Feiyuan can be so powerful, then one day we may also encounter an enemy with such strength. So what can we do against each other when that happens?"
Yue Min said: "Actually, I have always been unable to figure out why everyone always has to fight and kill all the time? Isn't it good for everyone to get along well together? I have been deeply favored by my ancestors since I was a child, so my family has let me. But I also know that a lot of people in my family are constantly fighting each other, and sometimes they even fight, and I really don't understand why?"
I said, "That's because those people want to get more benefits, but the benefits are limited, so naturally there will be fights." Competing for interests is just one of the reasons why people fight, and some are for honor, for survival, or for sticking to their own ideas, or even for love. In fact, I think that many times, many things are difficult to evaluate with simple good and evil, right and wrong. β
Zhao Hong took a sip of wine and said, "Brother You, you think too deeply, I have never thought about this. In my Zhao Hong's eyes, it is enough to serve the country loyally, kill the enemy bravely, protect the health of the family, and stick a knife in the ribs for friends. Whoever dares to provoke me, Lao Tzu will poke him with a shot!"
Yue Min said: "Brother Zhao is domineering, Min Er respects you!" Yue Min put down the wine jar and said to me: "But Brother You, I listened to what you said just now, why do I think your ideas are a little dangerous." β
I laughed and said, "Of course it's dangerous, because my opinion is different from that of most people in the world." Therefore, I can easily become the target of everyone's exclusion. But rest assured, I will not be obsessed with trying to express my opinion to the public. Besides, for me, I already have the position I should stand in, and I will do everything in the future to not harm the interests of the Kunlun faction and the people around me. β
Yue Min breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Then I can rest assured, my ancestor always said that people who are too unconventional are easy to be abandoned by everyone and eventually fall into the devil's path." β
I nodded and said, "Well, what your ancestor said is right. But there are still some people in this world who will stick to their own ideas, no matter what the world thinks of them. Again, what the world thinks is right, not necessarily right, and wrong is not necessarily wrong. β
Zhao Hong smiled: "Haha, it's a bit brain-consuming to drink with Brother You." I haven't been drunk for a while, but I'll let you tell you that you're drunk. Can you put it simply?"
I smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll give you a simple example, if a couple wants to kill me for money, and their son kills his parents with his own hands to save me." So do you think this person is a good person or a bad person?"
Zhao Hong and Yue Min were stunned for a moment when I asked, not knowing how to answer.
I smiled and said, "So you have to look at a lot of things from different angles, and you can't generalize everything." I once met a mage named Kuanxin, and the answer he gave me was that this person saved me, so for me this person was my savior. β
I took a sip of wine and continued, "But this person will go to hell when he dies, because in the Buddhist family, besides killing the Buddha, killing one's parents is the worst sin. β
Looking at the two of them who were lost in thought, I raised the jar and said, "Okay, don't think about it." I'm just talking casually, let's just chat. Don't take it seriously, come on!
Many years later, Yue Min, the youngest sect leader in the history of the Yue family of Wu Guo, led the Yue family to develop into a top big family in Central Continent in just over ten years. When she recalled her young past, she once said that the most fortunate thing in her life was to participate in the World Heroes Conference, which was called the beginning of a new era by later generations.
Because it was the first time she actually drank with someone else, and that drinking changed the trajectory of her lifeγγγγγ
The next morning, Xiang'er shook me beside my bed and shouted, "Big brother, get up quickly! The finals are about to start in more than half an hour!"
Yesterday's wine was too much, and the three of us not only drank up the jar of wine in each of our hands, but we also drank up the few catties of wine stored in my wine gourd. After I finally sent Yue Min back, I don't remember how I got back.
I endured the dizziness in my head after drinking, sat up from the bed and slowed down, and said to Xiang'er: "Don't make noise, I'm up, you go get me some porridge to drink." I'll pack up and we'll go. β
All four competitions of the finals will be held at the main venue, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. When Xiang'er and I arrived at the main venue, the first game of the finals, Mo Feiyuan's competition against Huixu, was still a quarter of an hour away. Xin Xiang'er specially asked Qin Yi to help us reserve seats yesterday, otherwise we would have to stand on the wall and watch this competition today.
