Behind Xue Qing, several young disciples struggled with their faces. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
According to other fellow students who have returned from training, although they have encountered various dangers, they have never been as dangerous as this one, and it is almost a lifeless situation.
Although several young people have been practicing for a long time, they used to cultivate safely in the master's sect, and usually a duel between the senior brothers in the sect is considered a big deal, but how could it be like now, they need to face a life-and-death decision.
Several of them have been practicing since childhood, and naturally know that the dignity of the monks is above everything else, even their own lives. If someone usually asks them what they would choose when faced with the trampling of dignity and the chance to live, several people will definitely choose their dignity without hesitation. But when this situation really happened now, a few young people realized that they were not as determined as they had shown in the past.
Including the thin-eyed man who was the first to speak, everyone understood that no matter whether they found a thousand or ten thousand reasons, in the face of the monk's dignity and choice of life, no matter how good and reasonable the reason was, it was just a whitewash. At the end of the day, it's all because they don't want to die.
Yes, they don't want to die.
In the face of death, all their arrogance and self-esteem were suppressed at the bottom.
They panicked, and no one told them how to choose. They asked the only person around them who could help them choose, but Xueqing's answer let them know that she wouldn't help them choose, she let them choose for themselves.
Although Xue Qing was looking at it, she could still feel the confusion and struggle of several people. She sighed secretly, very helpless in her heart.
This time, they came out to practice, and several people performed well. Although she has encountered many dangers before, she has been in danger under her protection. After experiencing these dangers, she could feel the growth of several young people, which was also the purpose of letting them go out to practice.
This time, the Wuyang Tomb was opened, and Xue Qing and a few people happened to be nearby, so they wanted to come and have a look, one is to let a few young people increase their experience, and the other is to come to Taobao with the heart of what to do, to see if there are any "fish that have slipped through the net", so that they can pick up a bargain.
Because it is mainly about experience, Xue Qing has no intention of fighting for treasures, and also instructed a few young people to watch more and do less, and try not to quarrel with others. In order to reduce the risk, Xue Qing did not even come on the day the tomb opened, but waited for three days before leading the team to come, and planned to leave only two days at most, and never wait until the tomb door was closed.
According to what she thought, she avoided the two most likely times for fighting when the tomb was opened and the tomb closed, and several people did not force anything, and kept a low profile and did not fight with others, so even if there was any sudden change, there was no great danger in thinking about it, and her cultivation should be able to solve it.
But who knows, people are not as good as heaven, and a few people just came in, and they encountered this scene in front of them. If it was just a lion general, then Xue Qing still had the confidence to rush out with a few disciples. But when she learned that the Tiangang Imperial Thunder Array was actually arranged outside, even if it was not complete and it was a condensed version, Xue Qing knew that this was something she couldn't solve. In the face of this Dayan's treasure of the town, let alone bringing people, even if she is the only one, she has no confidence that she can get out of the whole body.
Looking at the lion general in front of him, Xue Qing's silver teeth bit secretly. She knows this lion general, not only this lion general, but also the four generals of Dayan Lion, Xiong, Tiger and Leopard, and even has a relationship, or a bad fate. The first time she saw the lion general before, Xue Qing had a deep hatred, she wanted to rush out and kill him, even if she couldn't kill him, she would tear off a piece of his flesh.
But she held back. Let's not say that she can't beat the lion general, the thousands of sergeants behind the lion general alone are not vegetarians, and if she really rushes out, she may not even be able to touch the corners of the lion general's clothes. Moreover, there are disciples of the master behind her, and her main duty is to protect them when she comes out this time. Even if she can't protect a few people this time, she will try her best until the last moment before she dies. She must not harm these young people because of her own impulsiveness.
Therefore, from the very beginning, Xue Qing silently hid in an inconspicuous corner at the back of the crowd with a few disciples, and looked at the lion general coldly with a strong hatred.
In normal times, according to the spiritual sense of the lion general, Xue Qing's gaze with a strong hatred must have been noticed by him, but now facing more than a thousand monks, hatred, fear, indifference, mockery and other eyes are focused on him, plus his attention is mainly on a few people in the Demon Dao, so he is not aware of Xue Qing's existence.
Xue Qing knew this, so she was not afraid that the lion would find him.
Out of her understanding of the four great generals of Dayan, Xue Qing knew that this time the matter was not so simple. The lion general suddenly appeared and blocked all the monks, regardless of good or evil race, here definitely not to catch the important criminals as he said, nor for any bullshit reason to eliminate demons and defend the way, let alone to kill people and seize treasures as everyone thought.
Xue Qing couldn't guess where the lion general came from this time, but Xue Qing knew that the way of life that the lion general seemed to leave behind for everyone to surrender and not kill might not really be the way to live.
At least Xue Qing herself doesn't believe it.
Since the lion generals are here, where are the other three generals now?
Moreover, the outside is now covered with the Tiangang Imperial Thunder Array, such a treasure of the Great Yan Town, even if it is a simplified version, at least it needs to be presided over by someone trusted by the Emperor of Great Yan. And the person who can be trusted by Emperor Dayan can be simple?
The lion will open the way, the Tiangang Imperial Thunder Array is besieged, plus the other Da Yan masters who don't know yet, it took so much effort, the Great Yan Emperor is here to kill people and seize treasures? is to eliminate the demon for justice? This battle, not to mention that only these people came to the Hundred Saints Pavilion, that is, half of the people from the Hundred Saints Pavilion came, I am afraid that the generals will be able to fight into a draw and ask for a whole body to retreat.
In fact, since she knew that the Tiangang Thunder Array was set up outside, Xue Qing knew that everyone's fate had been decided, and there was no choice at all. The lion general seems to have left a way for people to live, but according to Xue Qing's understanding of him, it is nothing more than a change of death.
If everyone present fights together, there may be a glimmer of life, but now that they are swayed by the words of the lion general, under the differentiation, everyone's vitality is becoming more and more slim.
Xue Qing would not say these words to the disciples behind her. As she said before, this is the experience, the test of the Dao heart. They and their masters can teach them to practice and avoid detours, but they can't protect them for the rest of their lives. In the future, when these young people themselves face the situation of life and death, today's choices will be their valuable experience, which will influence their choices and even their lives.
Besides, in today's situation, they are no longer able to protect these young people, so even if they choose to give up their dignity for the sake of pleading, then it is not a bad thing. Because, if she guessed wrong, the lion general really left a glimmer of life for everyone, then at least, these young people who chose to surrender could survive.
At this time, the thin-eyed male disciple who spoke first before turned pale, gritted his teeth, and said, "Senior Uncle Xueqing, I have decided. ”
Xue Qing didn't look back when she heard this, she didn't make any moves, she still stared coldly ahead, while several other people looked at this person, waiting for his decision.
Seeing this, the thin-eyed male disciple was silent for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Senior Uncle, I have decided to stay and fight to the death!"
Seeing that several other people were looking at him in surprise, Xiaoyu opened his mouth in surprise, and the man said: "My generation of monks, what is cultivated is a freedom, and what is cultivated is an immortality. If people are not comfortable, then even if they are immortal, they are just walking dead. In order to survive, and let my dignity be trampled on, it is not only myself, but even our teachers are tantamount to being trampled on by others, I Chang Song can't do it, this will destroy my Dao heart!"
After speaking, Chang Song seemed to let go of the big stone in his heart, and his whole body relaxed.
Looking at Xiao Yu with a surprised face, Chang Song Zhengse said: "Senior Sister Xiaoyu, Senior Brother, I'm really not afraid of death, it's just that as a person in the righteous path, I was killed as an evil demon, and I don't think it's worth it." But fighting for your own dignity, even if you die in battle, I think it's worth it! Besides, with Uncle Xue Qing here, Uncle Xue Qing's cultivation is profound, I believe you will definitely be able to escape with us!"
When Xiaoyu heard this, she immediately smiled, as if she had re-acquainted Chang Song, she was short and kept patting Chang Song's shoulder, patting Chang Song's face with a wry smile and helplessness.
When the other disciples heard Chang Song's words, they all fell silent. After a long time, several people glanced at each other, took a step forward and said in unison: "We are like Senior Brother Chang Song, and we are willing to fight for the honor of our master and our own dignity!"
When Xue Qing heard this, she was still silent. After a long time, she sighed and said, "Have you decided to do so? You know, even I am not sure that I will be able to take you out alive this time." I'll give you another chance, and whatever you choose, I respect your choice. ”
When Chang Song and several people heard this, they said in unison without hesitation: "Don't hesitate to fight, regardless of life or death!"
Hearing this, Xue Qing nodded, but did not speak. Only Xiaoyu patted Chang Song with a happy face and gave a thumbs up to a few people.
Suddenly, a staggering figure rushed in through the door, crying out with blood on his face: "Liars! They deceive people! They are dead! Those who go out are dead! They deceive people!"
Everyone in the square was stunned, and saw that the person who shouted was a monk who had surrendered to the lion general and was released before, and his face suddenly changed greatly, and the monk who had not come out after surrendering was even more pale.
