Chapter Eighty-Six: Before the Tournament
Treasures are hard to find, and gold is valuable.
Life is floating clouds in front of you, and affection is the most rare.
If life is there, everything is there, if there is no life, everything is empty; if there is no trace of love and righteousness, what is gained is lucky, and what is lost is a disaster.
Looking at the Ten Thousand Ancient Scripture Pill sent by Li Xiu, Ye Heng was deeply moved by this true feeling! When it came to the relationship, it was the first time that Ye Heng and Li Xiu had met each other, and the other party had given such a precious gift! Although Li Xiu repeatedly laughed at himself and said that he was stingy, he might still have to take back the Ten Thousand Ancient Scripture Pill after the competition.
But even so, who can deny this affection? In normal times, even a clue about the Ten Thousand Ancient Jing Pill can be sold for tens of thousands of taels of gold on the market, let alone want to know exactly who has the goods! It is so difficult to find news, but now that Li Xiu has taken the initiative to send the pill, this affection can by no means be simply measured by price!
Therefore, Ye Heng hurriedly said: "Where did Brother Li say! With this Dan here, it is equivalent to giving the little brother a life, the great grace is not grateful, as long as the little brother passes this pass, in the future, Brother Li will be sent, Ye Heng will go all out!" As soon as Ye Heng's words came out, he undoubtedly made a promise to Li Xiu, as long as Li Xiu was useful to Ye Heng in the future, even if he went up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, Ye Heng would move forward bravely and never shirk!
Li Gongzi shook his hand and said, "Brother Ye, there is no need to be like this! This elixir was sent to me by my father, and it was only because my father's every move was very involved that it was sent by Zaixia;
Hearing this, Ye Heng couldn't help but smile bitterly. In his opinion, the so-called favor of the Northwest Hou is just an excuse. But now, the medicine can't be left unaccepted, Ye Heng is not arrogant enough to think that he can definitely defeat You Yue, he can only keep this kindness in his heart deeply, and if he has the opportunity in the future, he will definitely repay him. You must know that even if it is the Northwest Hou, there is not much friendship between him and Ye Heng, so easily he sent the unattainable Ten Thousand Ancient Scripture Pill to Ye Heng, how could the Northwest Hou's move not move Ye Heng? And Ye Heng will also vote for the Northwest Hou in the future, this is a later story, not to mention it for the time being.
After taking the elixir, Ye Heng was going to entertain Li Xiu well, but Li Gongzi immediately got up and said goodbye and resolutely did not stay. After all, the Li family's father and son are the representatives of the highest power in Changye City, and anything they do will attract attention from many parties. If Li Gongzi stayed in the Fengbing Pavilion for too long, this matter would definitely become the focus of the news in Changye City today, and it would be rumored to be boiling, and it might bring unexpected trouble to the Fengbing Pavilion at that time. Explaining this, Ye Heng no longer kept it, and personally sent Li Gongzi out of the Fengbing Pavilion.
Although Li Gongzi had not been in the Fengbing Pavilion for a long time, this matter quickly reached the ears of the major forces. Although no one knows what Li Xiu went to the Fengbing Pavilion to do, but the world is like this, the more unclear the truth, the more curious people are, and the more groundless speculations there are! What's more, it is actually said that Ye Heng is the illegitimate son of the Northwest Hou, and Li Xiu went to recognize each other as brothers, and the story is made up decently, with noses and eyes, so you can't believe it.
The outside world is full of rumors about Li Xiu's going to the Fengbing Pavilion, and the one who is most concerned about this matter is Xuantian Palace. After getting this news, the high-level officials of Xuantian Palace frowned one by one, and they couldn't figure out what the relationship between Ye Heng and the Hou Mansion was?
In their opinion, in the battle of Thousand Buddha Mountain, You Gongzi absolutely cannot be defeated! Xuantian Palace, as one of the top big forces in Changye City, and You Yue is the young palace master of Xuantian Palace, he cannot be defeated by anything! Once he fails, the impact on You Yue himself and Xuantian Palace will be extremely great! And this kind of influence can only be on the bad side, so they are even more here
because they can't lose, and they can't afford to lose.
But now the problem is here, defeat is not defeated, but now it is just to win, before figuring out the real relationship between Fengbing Pavilion and the Hou Mansion, it is more accurate before the relationship between Ye Heng and Hou Li Fu in the northwest, winning is also not winning!
If the friendship between the Fengbing Pavilion and the Hou Mansion is shallow, or there is no friendship at all, then if you win, you will win, and it is natural to win, even if Ye Heng is killed on the spot, it is not a big deal; If Ye Heng has three long and two short because of this, it is very likely to be remembered by the Northwest Hou, even if the strength of the Xuantian Palace is strong, in Jinyang Prefecture, this acre and three points of land, after all, the Hou Mansion is in power, and the Hou Mansion has the final say, if the Northwest Hou wants to embarrass the Xuantian Palace, the future life of the Xuantian Palace will definitely not be easy!
However, the Thousand Buddha Mountain competition is imminent, the people of the Hou Mansion actually went to the Fengbing Pavilion, if it is an ordinary person, the Xuantian Palace does not have to worry so much, the person who went to the problem is Li Xiu and Li Dagongzi, which has to make them think about it carefully!
At this juncture, if the friendship is shallow and the relationship is far away, even if the Hou Mansion wants to send people to go, it is impossible to dispatch the No. 2 person of the Hou Mansion! Isn't this a clear show that he is supporting the Fengbing Pavilion?
Of course, this is the result of the deliberation of the high-level of Xuantian Palace, as for what the real intention of the Northwest Hou is, no one really knows what, even Li Gongzi, who went to the Fengbing Pavilion to deliver the pill on behalf of his father, does not understand what kind of medicine is sold in the Northwest Hou's gourd!
No matter what the original intention of the Northwest Hou was, even if the Northwest Hou had no other intentions, he couldn't stop others from thinking deeply. Through Li Xiu's move of going to the Fengbing Pavilion, he inadvertently created momentum for the Fengbing Pavilion! In this way, although there is a world of difference in strength between the forces of the two sides of the competition, in terms of the support received by Changye City, it is almost comparable. Some martial artists who have not joined any forces, and even have the intention of joining the Fengbing Pavilion if Ye Heng can win the Thousand Buddha Mountain competition.
There is a real group of people of insight who are happy to join the small forces. Because in the big forces, it is inevitable to mix with a variety of human relations in the middle, each position has irreplaceable candidates, if you join it, you are a talent, will not necessarily be appreciated, in a long time buried, it is difficult to have the opportunity to display talents; Real talents are very easy to be found and reused here, it can be said that the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high for the birds to fly, so that you can do your best, and you will be happy!
Of course, there is also a prerequisite, that is, the leader of this small force is extraordinary, has its own merits, can recognize and employ people, and can use people without doubt! Therefore, for the Fengbing Pavilion, Ye Heng cannot afford to lose! If he wins, take advantage of this battle, recruit troops, expand his strength, and everything will inevitably go smoothly; once defeated, it is a problem for Ye Heng Xue Gai to lose his life, and whether the Fengbing Pavilion can survive in the future is another serious problem!
From now on, the nature of the contest has completely changed! The contest is no longer about seeking an explanation for Shen Tai's death, but is about the overall game between the two forces; the matter has changed from a personal grudge to a confrontation between the two forces!
The initiator of the incident, that is, Xue Gai, who directly killed Shen Tai, finally returned to the Fengbing Pavilion the day before the decisive battle began. This makes those who blame Xue Gai for leaving the Fengbing Pavilion and his whereabouts have been unknown have a lot of complaints.
Xue Gai's departure was originally a mystery, although when he left, he said that he would come back during the decisive battle of Thousand Buddha Mountain, but seeing that the date of the duel was getting closer and closer, he was never seen, and some people thought that he would not come back. Because one of the bets in the duel of Thousand Buddha Mountain was Xue Gai's life, those people took it for granted that Xue Gai was scared and took the opportunity to stay away from the Fengbing Pavilion
。 After all, who is willing to gamble with his life even if he is willing to gamble with his life, not everyone has the courage to bet his life on an unpredictable gamble.
Of course, this is the normal thinking of ordinary people, but here are rivers and lakes, people are in rivers and lakes, rivers and lakes have rules of rivers and lakes, and real people in rivers and lakes take love and righteousness very seriously.
If Xue Gai comes out at the right time, in the eyes of the people in the rivers and lakes, he is a man who values faith and righteousness, dares to do things, and is a real hero in the rivers and lakes, even if he really loses his life because of this, he will be praised by many people!
If Xue Gai doesn't appear, in the eyes of the people in the rivers and lakes, he will lose a bit of heroism and courage, even if he understands him a little more, he will still leave a knot in his heart, thinking that this person cannot become a life and death brother who can be entrusted to his back.
Of course, there are also people who think that being able to bend and stretch is what the big husband does, and if he leaves, he doesn't have to come back, for a gamble that is not sure to win, it is not worth betting on his own net worth, leaving the green mountains, not afraid of no material to burn, as long as he saves his life, Xue Gai can still achieve great achievements in other places. If Xue Gai disappears and never appears in Changye City, he can put himself out of the matter, and in the decisive battle of Thousand Buddha Mountain, no matter whether Ye Heng wins or loses, he can save his life and live in peace. In doing so, I believe that there will not be too many people criticizing it, this is a rational choice, human life is only once, and there is nothing wrong with cherishing it. If Ye Heng wins, then as a bet, it doesn't matter if he shows up or not.
However, the relationship between people is not measured in this way, when there is no danger, stay by your side, and hide in the sky when there is danger, even if the person does not say anything, it will inevitably leave a shadow in your heart. If after this incident, Ye Heng has the opportunity to meet Xue Gai again, I believe that Ye Heng will not blame him, but if that happens, Xue Gai will completely lose the brothers who were born and died together in the Fengbing Pavilion.
On the one hand, there is life, on the other hand, friendship and morality, which side cannot be said to be wrong, and whichever side is chosen there is a truth in the past. Different people will have different choices, but things gather like people and divide them into groups.
And Xue Gai's choice is to come back, people believe their words, and they can't stand without faith, even if they die, they must complete this gamble with a huge stakes!
It's just that although Xue Gai's people have returned, their souls seem to have been lost outside!
When Xue Gai came back, he wore heavy filial piety on his body, and his whole person was in high spirits and covered with dust. When Xue Gai left, it was a storm, one person and one horse, fresh clothes and angry horses! Now he came back, but he was pulled back by a carriage. The car was driven by an old man, the horse was an old horse, and the car was a broken car, and all the way it creaked and creaked.
If he came back in a carriage, it would be fine, Xue Gai just came back lying on the carriage! When the carriage came to the door of the Fengbing Pavilion, Lu Xiaofei wanted to help him up and walk into the pavilion, but he couldn't help him up. Because Xue Gai was drunk, he was so drunk that he didn't know how much he drank, and he was so drunk that he didn't even have the strength to stand up.
Anyone can see that something has happened to Xue Gai, but now is not the time to ask. I just want to ask, the timing is not right, tomorrow is the day when Ye Heng will face You Yue in Qianfoshan, there are priorities, no matter what other things are, they have to be put down now, and they have to talk about it tomorrow. Now it is for Ye Heng to prepare for the life-and-death duel wholeheartedly, and he must not be distracted. Having said that, even if he asked, Xue Gai was drunk like that, and he couldn't answer!
Regardless of whether Xue Gai is drunk or awake, in short, the bets of the Fengbing Pavilion are complete, so that in terms of momentum, the Fengbing Pavilion has not lost to the Xuantian Palace!
Because the people of the Fengbing Pavilion dare to gamble their lives, they are not afraid of losing their lives, will they be afraid of a duel that has been agreed on a long time ago?
If life is a gamble, then only those who are not afraid of losing may not lose, and those who always want to win may not be able to really win.
