Bailuo Mountain.

Dust Slashing Shrine.

Meng Hangju sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, with starlight circulating around him, and the sun and moon alternating behind him.

The illusions are constantly changing, as if there is a world of its own.

There were also several figures sitting around him, men and women, most of whom were handsome and beautiful.

Suddenly, Meng Hangju's body trembled, and his eyes suddenly opened.

The surrounding disciples all noticed his strangeness and gave them puzzled looks.

As his hand-picked heir, Xu Yue even asked, "Master, what's wrong?"

Meng Hangju glanced at her sideways, and just wanted to speak, but his face suddenly turned pale, and then a mouthful of blood arrows spurted out of his mouth.

"Master!"

Seeing this, the surrounding disciples all changed their faces and hurriedly gathered around.

Wei Jinxiu and Xu Yue, who were closest to each other, reacted very quickly, and reached out to support Meng Hangju's body.

Their faces were extremely solemn, and they naturally knew the strength of their own master, far from being comparable to the Eight Great Sages as ordinary people said, it stands to reason that he was an innocent divine body, and there could be no dark disease in his body, and this sudden vomiting of blood was definitely not an auspicious omen.

"Master, what the hell is going on?"

Xu Yue frowned and asked.

Meng Hangju didn't pay attention to his beloved disciple's inquiry, he looked up at the palace gate of the Dust Slashing Divine Palace, looked at the sky there, and muttered.

"Jiang Huanshui. ”

"What a northern lion. ”

When he said this, his head tilted, and he passed out......

......

Ning Xiaocheng fell into a dead silence.

Everyone looked up at the dome and looked at the male lion, biting his neck in the frenzied struggle of the black dragon.

The black dragon's body kept churning, and the thunderclouds lost control, and bursts of thunder fell from the sky, causing chaos in the entire Ningxiao City.

"Jiang Huanshui! If I die, Ningzhou's luck will be dispersed! Do you really want to be so ruthless! Let the whole of Ningzhou be buried together!"

After several attempts failed to break free from the minions of the male lion that had turned bloody, Ao Xiu could only let out such an angry roar, trying to make Jiang Huanshui throw himself into a rat trap.

And such a voice did make the faces of the people around him change, although the various things involved in this are really beyond their understanding, but it is a matter of their own life and death, and no one can completely ignore it.

The people, who were already embarrassed by the thunder that fell everywhere, became more and more frightened at the center of Ao Xiu's roar, and immediately some people simply knelt down in place, crying bitterly and shouting to Jiang Huanshui: "Lord Zhou Mu spare his life!"

"Lord Governor save me!"

"Help us!"

That kind of sound resounded unconsciously, echoing in the sky above Ning Xiao City.

"Hahaha!"

At this time, Luo He, who was trampled on by Wei Lai with his foot, suddenly let out a burst of insolent laughter.

Wei Lai, who was nervously watching everything above the dome, heard this, and couldn't help frowning at Luo He.

The expression on Luo He's face was extremely hideous, his mouth was full of blood, and in the face of Wei Lai's cold gaze, he did not show the slightest fear, but laughed more and more arrogantly.

"What are you laughing at?" Wei Lai asked in a cold voice, he didn't like the chanting of the people in Ningzhou in front of him, he didn't like them even if they hadn't understood what this old man had been carrying in the past sixty years, he didn't like their endless demands, and he didn't like Luo He's laughter that was obviously mocking.

"Laugh at you mortals, you don't know what it means to have the end of manpower!"

"Laugh at you, in the end, you are always deceived by the so-called righteousness, but you don't know what the world is for, and what Li people and the common people are just a drama for the people above to come and deceive you. ”

"They taught you this, but how could they have done it themselves?"

"And you are ridiculous enough to take him seriously, and now you can see that none of the people you have worked so hard to save will care about your kindness......"

"People, born with selfishness in their bones, that is, self-interest, you save him and protect him, he will only think that this is what he deserves, but one day you don't give it to him, then you will become an enemy and a demon in his eyes. ”

"And now ......"

As he spoke, Luo He raised his head and glanced at the old man on the dome, squinting his eyes and muttering, "And now, he is about to become that demon." ”

Wei Lai was stunned for a moment, he looked at more and more people kneeling down, and then looked at the old man on the dome, he could clearly feel that the old man's body seemed to be trembling slightly......

......

Of course, Jiang Huanshui listened to those words, he lowered his head and looked at the people under him, looking

His brow furrowed at the face with tears in his eyes.

"Stop, Jiang Huanshui!"

"You've never been the kind of person who can be ruthless. ”

"I promise to give your grandson a way to live!"

Ao Xiu saw the wavering in the old man's eyes, and he spoke aloud, his tone full of banter.

Sometimes some things are always easier said than done.

Until that last minute, you never know what choice you can make.

Ao Xiu stared at Jiang Huanshui, stared at the clenched fist under his cuffs, watched the fist tremble, and then gradually let go.

The smile on his face became more and more genuine, and he thought that it was all a foregone conclusion.

But apparently, he underestimated how far a person could go crazy with decades of accumulation of resentment.

Just as he was about to say something more, the old man's hand clenched again.

He glanced back at the people below him, and a hint of his inherent kind smile bloomed on his face: "All these years......"

When he said this, the people, who had already placed their lives entirely on him, naturally fell silent when they saw him speak, and looked at him with a look of hope.

"I was busy with the war for the first few decades, and I was dealing with Yanting for the next few decades, and I always wanted to do my best, thinking that I would be able to fulfill my promise......

"Take care of you. ”

"Until that year, Ao Xiu killed my daughter and son-in-law, I quietly went to Wupan City once to worship them, and I also heard some gossip from the people there. ”

"They all said that it was my daughter and son-in-law's fault, that they had angered God, because God was always right. ”

"I'm actually long past the age of irritability, but that time I was still a little angry, but I couldn't do anything about it. ”

"I wondered if it was all my fault or their fault. Later, my grandson fought with this snake in Wupan City and saved some people from his hands. ”

"At that time, those people were different, they understood who was evil, and I suddenly figured it out. ”

"It's wrong, it's me. ”

"I always wanted to protect you like a child, but I forgot to tell you why I did it. ”

"Just like the people in Wupan City, you are not bad, you are not stupid, you just don't understand, but it doesn't matter......"

"My grandson will be handed over to you, just as he taught the people of Ulpan. ”

"Don't worry, with me, no one can hurt you,"

Like the elders of all people, he comforted the people with a serious heart.

The people looked at each other, and most of them couldn't understand what the old man was saying, but strangely, with the old man's words, their panicked minds inexplicably stabilized.

Ao Xiu saw this situation in his eyes, his heart was anxious, and he opened his mouth to say something: "Don't listen to ......"

It was only before he could say his words that the old man suddenly turned his head to look at the dome.

The male lion biting his neck seemed to feel something, and suddenly let out a long howl, and the mouth that bit Ao Xiu's neck suddenly pulled hard.

A large piece of flesh was pulled off by him, and black blood poured down to the ground like a torrential rain, accompanied by Ao Xiu's wail, his body was recorded in the violent struggle of the clouds, and then as if he had lost all his strength, he fell heavily to the ground.

In the process, his huge body gradually shrank, and in an instant, he turned into a snake several feet long.

Don't say that it was those people, even Wei Lai and the others never thought that this invincible Ao Xiu would fall into the mouth of the lion like this.

After a brief exclamation, Ning Xiaocheng fell into a dead silence again, and everyone stared at the corpse of the snake that fell heavily to the ground with a shocked expression, their faces full of disbelief.

The old man's body slowly fell under the horrified gaze of everyone, and Wei Lai hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man.

The old man's mouth let out a violent cough at that time, and Wei Lai even keenly noticed that the corner of the old man's mouth was already spilling blood, but he wiped it away without a trace.

Wei Lai's gaze changed suddenly, but the old man seemed to sense this, he glanced at Wei Lai, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you won't be able to die for a while." ”

Of course, Wei Lai's worries in his heart could not be resolved by the old man's simple words, but he also knew that no matter what he said at this time, he could not change the old man's mind, so he could only support him carefully.

"It's okay!?hahaha!"

"Your five internal organs are all damaged, and the meridians of your body are broken by seventy percent, how long can you live? mortal!" But at this time, Na Luo He's voice sounded again, with a wild smile

Meaning, extremely harsh.

"As soon as you die, just like Ao Xiu said, there is no one in Ningzhou who can suppress the luck here, and some people are eyeing this, Ningzhou will have to turn into a dead place from today onwards!"

Wei Lai's brows furrowed, he didn't want to believe that what Luo He said was true, he looked at Jiang Huanshui worriedly and said, "Grandpa, if you rest for a while, you will teach us here for the time being." ”

Jiang Huanshui coughed violently again, and said, "I have to do these things, you can't do it now." ”

"But watch it carefully, and in the future, you'll have to do it. ”

Wei Lai understood the old man's voice, his face changed, and the hand holding Jiang Huanshui began to tremble unconsciously.

Jiang Huanshui didn't comfort Wei Lai anymore, but turned his head to look at Jin Buyun on the side.

Since Wei Lai appeared and defeated Luo He, the leader of Cang Yuwei has been standing stiffly in place, and at this moment, he felt Jiang Huanshui's gaze, and he was even more frightened, and subconsciously lowered his head.

After witnessing Luo He and Ao Xiu losing one after another at the hands of the old man, he realized how much the old man who was known as the lion of the north had hidden, and he also realized that he was able to gain a firm foothold in Ningzhou in that strange era, not just by luck.

"The Commander has been watching for a while, do you want to continue watching?" Jiang Huanshui asked with squinted eyes.

Jin Buyun was stunned when he heard this, raised his head and looked at Jiang Huanshui, perhaps because of his nervousness, he didn't know how to respond to the old man for a while.

The old man smiled slightly, stretched out his finger and pointed behind him: "The West City Gate is over there, and the large army under the command should also be waiting for the commander there, won't the commander go and see them?"

Jin Buyun reacted at this time, after the start of the war, he asked his adjutant to go outside the city to mobilize the army of Cang Yu Wei, but he did not respond for a long time, at this moment, he thought that it should be before Xu Trap and others entered the city, they had already controlled these Cang Yu Wei.

His heart was cold, and the last bit of luck disappeared completely, he looked at Jiang Huanshui and asked, "You...... Will you let me go?"

When Jiang Huanshui heard this, he looked sideways at Jin Buyan's back, which was already full of the corpses of the Cangyu guards, densely piled together, and the scene was very terrifying.

"Enough people have died today. The old man said.

Jin Buyun's face was happy, he hurriedly arched his hand towards the old man, and said with some panic in his mouth: "Thank you...... Thank you for the grace of the state pastor not to kill......"

After saying this, Jin Buyun hurriedly took a step and was about to run in the direction of the West City Gate, looking at the panicked appearance, it was really difficult to associate it with the flying and domineering Cangyu Guard.

It's just that his footsteps have just taken a step, and after walking a distance of no more than ten zhang, Jiang Huanshui suddenly turned his head to look in the direction he was leaving, and called: "Commander Jin." ”

Jin Buyun's figure froze, stiffened in place, he turned his head very reluctantly, looked at Jiang Huanshui, and asked with a smile: "Jiang ...... Jiangzhou Mu, what else do you command?"

The old man also smiled at that time: "It's nothing, I just want the commander to say hello to His Majesty and Niangniang on behalf of the old man." ”

......

Jiang Huanshui really let Jin Buyun go.

Seeing Jin Buyan's figure gradually disappear from his eyes, Wei Lai finally couldn't help but ask, "Why did Grandpa let the tiger return to the mountain." ”

"Jin Buyun is Niangniang's brother, the two are close relatives, killing him is equivalent to cutting off Ningzhou's back road, and Ningzhou and Yanting have no room for maneuver. The old man patiently explained.

But Wei Lai couldn't quite understand the meaning of his words, frowned and asked again: "Grandpa beheaded Ao Xiu, he has already torn his face with the imperial court, can he save this matter by letting Jin Buyun go?"

"Things in the world are far from being visible at a glance, you have to learn to think about them. ”

"Think about what others want, what they don't want, what is important, what is not important. ”

"What Ningzhou lacks now is time, and with time, we have the capital to compete with them. The key to this is that you have to think for yourself, from now on these problems are all your problems, I'm afraid I can't help you anymore, although ......"

"I really never helped you......"

Wei Lai's body trembled, of course he understood the meaning behind the old man's words, he lowered his head, forcibly endured the things that were about to pour out of his eyes, and said in a muffled voice: "Grandpa......"

But before the words could be spoken, the old man next to him reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Many things in the world are like this, and there is no choice. ”

"Let's get down to business first. ”

Saying that, the old man turned his head, looked at Luo He who was lying on the ground, narrowed his eyes, and said softly, "It's your turn, Lord God." ”
