Chapter 170: Reflections after the war
Qing Xuanzi stretched out his hand, and a bamboo table with a length of feet appeared in front of him, followed by four bamboo stools.
Lin Peng looked at Qing Xuanzi, who was squinting and smiling, and thought to himself that this old man, who was still a fierce trainer just now, would be smiling and waiting for food and wine again, which was really weird.
Lin Peng raised his hand and waved, chicken, duck and fish filled the table, and two large jars of wine also fell aside.
Then he said: "Master, originally my aunt asked me to bring filial piety to you, and I borrowed flowers to offer Buddha." ”
Qing Xuanzi laughed and said, "I guessed a long time ago, after Yan Qing left with you, I haven't eaten delicious meat for a long time, and you also know the food in the academy, alas, it's bland and tasteless." ”
Ling Ling covered his mouth and smiled, then took out a few wine bowls and poured wine for Qing Xuanzi, Yan Qing, and Lin Peng.
Several people sat on four bamboo stools, and on the other side of the table, Bai Mo and Yue'er, Xiao Yuan had already begun to eat like a storm.
A few people didn't care, after all, they were all their own people, so they didn't need to be so polite.
After a while, several people began to talk about the war in Kasaki.
At this time, Yue'er and Xiao Yuan had already eaten enough, and walked to the side of the cliff to lie on their stomachs to watch the scenery.
And Bai Mo was also on the table at the moment, listening to a few people talking, did he still nod in agreement.
Qing Xuanzi took a sip of wine, looked at Lin Peng and Ling Ling, and said, "How about demonstrating what you have learned during this time to the master?"
Lin Peng looked at Ling Ling, Ling Ling nodded knowingly, then got up and walked out, a little in the direction of Bai Mo.
The white ink, which was lying there on all fours, was instantly fixed there.
Qing Xuanzi looked at Bai Mo with interest, and said curiously: "Is there something wrong with the fixation technique, it seems that the body function has also stopped, this is?"
Ling Ling replied, "Master, the power of imprisoning at this time. ”
Qing Xuanzi repeated in surprise: "The power of imprisonment ......"
Ling Ling nodded.
Qing Xuanzi looked at Ling Ling, smiled a little appreciatively, and said, "Ling'er, the power of imprisonment, the power of the Great Dao, it is difficult to master, you kid is too demonic." ”
Ling Ling scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Master, it's not Ling'er who comprehends, it's her, I have the skill that Lingyue'er comprehends." ”
Qing Xuanzi pointed to Yue'er's location and said, "The power of the machine spirit comprehension and imprisonment is ......?"
Lin Peng echoed and said: "Master, it's like this, Yue'er used to be a mystery, but for some reasons, she became what she is now. ”
Qing Xuanzi was silent for a moment, and said: "Oh, I won't ask about the specific situation, since I have learned the power of this Great Dao, Ling'er must make good use of it." ”
Ling Ling smiled slightly and nodded.
Qing Xuanzi turned to Lin Peng and said, "What about you?"
Lin Peng frowned, and said with some embarrassment: "I, hehe, there is nothing new to learn......"
Qing Xuanzi also frowned slightly, and said, "Didn't you learn anything?"
Lin Peng scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I just feel that my killing intent and spiritual power have increased, and I can't remember the specific situation......"
Qing Xuanzi asked in surprise, "I can't remember, what do you mean?"
Lin Peng didn't know how to respond, but Ling Ling said, "Brother went berserk. ”
Qing Xuanzi stood up, pointing his middle finger together between Lin Peng's eyebrows, only to see that his already tightly knit brows seemed to have some more gloomy colors.
He said to himself, "How can this be ......"
Lin Peng looked at Qing Xuanzi, his face was puzzled, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, master?"
Qing Xuanzi turned to ask, "Is the Dao Jing still there?"
Lin Peng stretched out his hand, and a thick book appeared in his hand.
Qing Xuanzi nodded and said, "Xiao'er, remember, even if you don't have time, you have to read this scripture every day, and you must remember it." ”
Lin Peng didn't know what Qing Xuanzi meant, but he knew that the master would not harm him, so he nodded.
Ling Ling suddenly thought of something, she raised her finger a little, Bai Mo instantly regained his mobility, he looked at Ling Ling with some doubts, and said, "Sister, did you do something to me just now? Why do I feel that my mind has been blank for a while?"
Ling Ling smiled slightly and didn't speak, but turned to look at Qing Xuanzi and said, "Master, there's nothing wrong with my brother, right?"
Qing Xuanzi frowned and said, "I can't see through it, but this scripture has the power to restrain his killing intent, I hope it can help him." ”
Ling Ling looked at Lin Peng, and a trace of uneasiness arose in his heart.
Lin Peng saw Ling Ling's worry in his eyes, hurriedly stretched out his hand and touched her head, and said, "Silly girl, my brother is fine." ”
Ling Ling's original sadness also unfolded in an instant at that moment, she wiped away the tears that flowed down and squeezed out a bright smile.
Qing Xuanzi then asked, "In this Kasa City War, have you seen the old man of Yin and Yang?"
Lin Peng nodded and said, "Normally, the Yin-Yang Sect launched this war against Kasa City, and he should have appeared as soon as possible, but unexpectedly, he has not appeared since the siege of the city. But it came at the last minute, which is very strange. ”
Qing Xuanzi nodded and said, "It's really strange, as I thought, this war is not so simple. ”
Lin Peng frowned and said, "What is the master's opinion?"
Qing Xuanzi smiled and said, "Xiao'er, tell me about the strange things you found in this Kasa City War. ”
Lin Peng pondered for a while and said, "There was no decent attack on Qiancheng, after the city was broken, it was just some Yin-Yang Sect believers rushing around, and there were no soldiers. The most effective attack of Qicheng should be the phantom summoned by several people together, and almost all of Kasaki's soldiers were killed. ”
Qing Xuanzi asked, "What do you think?"
Lin Peng was silent for a moment, and suddenly realized: "This war is more like consuming strength and manpower. ”
Qing Xuanzi nodded appreciatively.
Lin Peng asked again: "But why did he do this? Those are all his disciples, and his lair is set up in Qiancheng, he doesn't need to cause trouble for himself, right?"
Qing Xuanzi smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically: "It's true that the people of Qiancheng are his followers, but if it wasn't his idea to attack such a big thing as Kacheng, who can act?
Lin Peng was silent, because what he had been thinking about was that this Qiancheng attacked Kasa City, just for the Yin Yang Sect to expand its territory. But after Qing Xuanzi said this, this matter really didn't seem to be as simple as he thought. No wonder people say that the side that starts the war always thinks of a lot of high-sounding excuses, and it seems that this is indeed the case.
He suddenly said, "I probably know what the master means." ”
Qing Xuanzi nodded and said, "Tell me about it." ”
Lin Peng replied: "This war can also be called a war of attrition, the reason why this old man of yin and yang let the world know that Qiancheng is a nest should have been prepared, he may be behind someone, maybe for himself, or maybe for another purpose, but no matter what the purpose, consuming the strength of the two cities is the main purpose." ”
Qing Xuanzi nodded and said, "Silly apprentice, well said, you should add the sentence you want to say." ”
Lin Peng asked in surprise: "What I want to say? Consuming the strength of the two cities, maybe it is also consuming the strength of the Yue Kingdom?
Qing Xuanzi nodded and said, "It's not Luo Guo, it's Na Hu Guo." Looking at it this way, the possibility of the Hun country is relatively large. ”
Lin Peng hurriedly asked, "Why?"
Qing Xuanzi replied: "Don't forget, what nationality this yin and yang old man is. ”
Lin Peng sighed and said, "Such an annexation of other countries is really despicable. ”
Qing Xuanzi looked at Lin Peng and said: "The winner becomes the king and the loser is the loser, since ancient times, history is written by the winner, sometimes war is just a form, as for what method to use, for them, it is enough to win, and nothing else matters." ”
Lin Peng frowned and said, "Isn't this Yue country in danger?
Qing Xuanzi smiled contemptuously and said, "Rulers, they are already too busy to take care of themselves, where can they manage other cities." ”
Lin Peng shook his head and said, "In the end, it is the people who suffer." ”
Qing Xuanzi stretched out his hand, closed his eyes and calculated, and after a while, he said, "Yue Guo's fate has not yet arrived, and besides, you and Ling'er should be about to receive the invitation of the country lord." ”
As he spoke, he turned to look at Lin Peng, his eyes full of relief.
Lin Peng and Ling Ling looked at each other, looking surprised, this lord would invite the two of them, it must have something to do with the battle of Kasaki. The two of them were very excited about this, after all, many people had never seen the lord of the country in their lives, and it was really rare for the two of them to receive an invitation at a young age.
Qing Xuanzi saw the emotions of the two in his eyes, and then said: "This is just my calculation, it remains to be seen whether it can happen, and besides, you regard this country lord as too important." ”
Lin Peng and the two looked at each other for a moment, and then turned to look at Qing Xuanzi.
Qing Xuanzi continued: "The lord of the country is also a human being, and we are also human beings, he just rules a country, nothing is great, and there is nothing superior to us. If he invites you, it is only because you have defended the castle so that he will not lose a city, but it is only a formal thank-you. ”
He continued: "You are the heroes of Kasaki, and he did nothing in the first place, and he did not give an account to the people of Yue Kingdom. Secondly, he invited you and thanked you, so that he could set you up as an example and have a certain effect on the conscription of the Yue Kingdom. Therefore, the thing is not as simple as you say, as a lord of the country, such a killing two birds with one stone or even killing three birds with one stone is simply a familiar existence for them. ”
Lin Peng and Ling Ling glanced at each other, and the image of the lord of the country, which was originally honorable in their hearts, collapsed. Qing Xuanzi's words made them more sober, no one will do anything for you for no reason, unless you have what they want.
