22: Repay the favor

These four words seem to have magical power. When Gonggong An and Lu Zhongyue blurted out these four words, the entire vast space suddenly fell silent.

Fear, awe, admiration, and even intense excitement. All kinds of emotions were condensed in his eyes, and at the same time they shot from all directions, all concentrated on Cheng Li.

Cheng Li just smiled and slowly lowered his hand. The sleeves of his coat then drooped, obscuring the jet-black throwing knife. When he lifted his hand again, his fingers were empty, and there was nothing left.

For a moment, everyone present couldn't help but feel a certain sense of loss. But the awe only grows unabated. Just because everyone already knows that the knives are still there, and the knives never leave. Once the world needs it, the knife will always be where it belongs.

It is not only Lu Zhongyue and Gonggong An and others who sigh about this, but even Cheng Li himself.

As the saying goes, one life is two, two is three, and three is everything. Sanyuan Avenue, implement the universe. And the three elements are "heaven, earth, and man". In Cheng Li's view, the three people of Shenzhou King, Sword Saint, and Lonely Marquis can also represent Sanyuan Avenue. The king of Shenzhou is the sky, high above, looking down on all beings; the lonely Hou is the earth, no matter good or bad, beautiful, ugly, good or evil, all carry tolerance; the sword saint is a human being, sharing sorrow and joy with the people of Li.

Speaking of martial arts, the "Liuhe of the Sea" of the King of Shenzhou is like a vast ocean, like a panic and heavenly punishment, which can change the color of the universe. The lonely Hou's "Heaven and Earth Yin and Yang Intersect Great Compassion Fu" can also turn the world upside down, open mountains and seas, and make the enemy fall into the eighteenth layer of hell. However, in comparison, the Flying Knife of the Sword Saint did not possess that terrifying destructive power. Just like the power of man, it is definitely not as powerful as the power of heaven and earth.

A hundred years later, the most impressive thing in the world is still the flying knife of the sword saint. This is enough to prove the old saying: man will conquer heaven. What can really change the world is not the sky, let alone the earth, but only people.

My mind turned and I sighed. Cheng Li put down his hand and said lazily: "Today's wind is beautiful, and the sky is clear." It is perfect for drinking and enjoying the flowers. Road manager, Grandpa An, do you have any wine?"

Lu Zhongyue and Gonggong An each had a spirit, and then they came back to their senses. Lu Zhongyue hurriedly said: "Of course there is, of course there is." The wine has already been prepared, just waiting for Cheng Baihu to enjoy. Please, please, please. ”

Not much to say, Lu Zhongyue immediately bent down slightly and stretched out his hand to greet the guest. In the tone and demeanor, it seems to add a bit of politeness and respect. It's just that these politeness and courtesy, even he himself can't notice it at this moment. And even if you are aware of it, you will only take it for granted. After all......

The weight of the four words "Descendant of the Sword Saint" is definitely more than many people imagine.

This is an outing outside the house, not an informal feast. So in terms of arrangement, everything is also simplified. However, spread out a straw mat on the grass, put a low table on it, and then everyone sat on the ground around the low table.

It's easy, but on the other hand, it's disrespectful. Especially this is the first time Cheng Li has met Lu Zhongyue. It was actually arranged in such a place to meet in this way. That's even more inconsequential. It can also be seen from this that as of the real meeting just now, Lu Zhongyue really didn't pay enough attention to Cheng Li in his heart.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with that. After all, this is Bai Yujing, the imperial capital of the Great Wei Dynasty, and a well-deserved first city in the world. Whether it is wealth or talent, there are even more people gathered here than the entire Great Wei Dynasty outside Bai Yujing. It is precisely because of this that the two families of Canghai Yueminglou and Badoutang, but they only occupy about four or fifty percent of the shares in Bai Yujing's rivers and lakes, and they have become two of the four major forces in the world.

In contrast, although Cheng Li had made great achievements in the Lei family of the Thunderbolt Hall in the south of the Yangtze River, it was still insignificant for the nobles of Bai Yujing. As for those things in Yongzhou, they are so magical that it is difficult for people to believe that these fabulous deeds are all true.

really made them pay attention to the person of Qi Cheng Li, and it was thanks to Xiao Jianshi. To tell the truth, everyone is a big internal guard, who has how many catties, and they already know each other. It makes no difference whether you compete or not. Therefore, the large and small in the palace have long been a formality.

But Xiao Jianshi's poems can suddenly rise and become a blockbuster. This is a great surprise. It is precisely because of this that Lu Zhongyue really became a little interested in Cheng Li, who was standing behind Xiao Jianshi. That's why we have today's meeting.

But whether it was Lu Zhongyue or Gonggong An, they really didn't expect that the answer they got from this meeting would be so amazing! Cheng Li turned out to be the heir of the world-famous Tanhua Flying Knife in the past?

From this moment on, the two have fully understood. My attitude towards Cheng Li must be changed. No, just with the four words "Tanhua Flying Knife, the example is not false", Cheng Li is completely worthwhile. Not only is Cheng Li worthy, but as Cheng Li's apprentice, Xiao Jianshi is also worthy.

It is precisely because of this change in mentality that when everyone sat down separately, Gonggong An took out the skills he had cultivated in the palace and used to serve the Son of Heaven. Between the words, there is flattery and flattery everywhere. It's just full of tricks, which makes people sound like they only feel taken for granted, and they don't feel abrupt and numb at all. Therefore, it was only a moment before everyone sat down, and before they had drunk enough three glasses of wine, the atmosphere was already warm, and it was no longer as embarrassing as it was just now.

However, when Father-in-law An came to such a show, he was anti-guest-oriented, and put Lu Zhongyue, the real master, aside. But it seems that Lu Zhongyue has no complaints about this, but willingly helps Gonggong An next to him. Cheng Li watched coldly, thoughtful in his heart.

Perhaps, the person who really wants to see himself is originally this father-in-law. However, so far, Grandpa An is only talking nonsense, and does not involve reality.

Perhaps, he hadn't figured out what to do with his Black Evil God Monarch, that didn't matter, let him think about it slowly. Cheng Li knew that when he showed his flying knife, the initiative was already firmly in his hands, and no one thought that he would be able to grab it. So Cheng Li was not in a hurry at all, just waited for Father-in-law An to think about it and make a move first. No matter what trick he makes, he can still be a preemptive strike.

After three rounds of wine, Gonggong An lifted the wine jug and was about to continue pouring wine for Cheng Li. Suddenly, his ears moved slightly, he sighed softly, put down the wine jug, hugged his fists to Cheng Li and said, "Cheng Baihu, I'm sorry." Looks like it's going to spoil you a bit. ”

Cheng Li said casually: "Not necessarily." It may or may not be interesting. Father-in-law, let people come over. ”

Father-in-law An agreed. Then he turned around and looked back, widened his eyes, and shouted, "Xiao Rong, don't roll over to our house yet!"

In the midst of the shouting, I saw two people walking quickly. The leader was a tall and majestic man. If he hadn't been wearing a eunuch's robe, it would have been hard to believe, he would have been a eunuch. As for the young man who walked behind, it was "Xiaorong" who had just been instructed by Gonggong An to go out to find someone.

Seeing that it was them coming, Xiao Jianshi and Lu Zhongyue also put down the wine glasses in their hands respectively. In a moment, the two men approached and stood still. Xiao Rong bowed down and said respectfully, "Master, Senior Brother Chen is here." ”

Gonggong Rong nodded slightly, narrowed his eyes, and said lightly to the tall man: "Yo, isn't this Fahai? I haven't seen you for a few days, why does it seem that the whole person has changed, and it has become almost unrecognizable in our family?"

The tall man stood up straight, clenched his fists and said, "Apprentice to meet Master." Master Jin An. ”

Rong Gonggong said lightly: "Don't." Jin An is not Jin An or something, that is worthy of Cai Cai, a noble man in the palace. Our family signaled to the lowly slaves and maids, and they can't afford such titles. ”

After a pause, his face changed. Gonggong Rong's expression was gloomy, and he suddenly slapped his palm on the low table next to him. Make a loud sound of "bang~". But the wine jugs and wine glasses placed on the low table, as well as the plates, bowls, chopsticks and other things, are not moving. It can be seen that the strength of Rong Gonggong's palm has already been grasped freely. This palm alone is already the level of a first-class master.

"Chen Fahai, you said, today the road manager and our family are here to entertain Cheng Baihu. Do you know about this?"

The tall man Chen Fahai said in a deep voice: "I know." ”

Father-in-law Rong shouted: "Then you will answer our family again." What the hell are those assassins going on?"

Chen Fahai didn't even frown, and said without thinking: "I arranged it." ”

As soon as these words were spoken, there was silence all around. I have to say that even Grandpa An didn't expect to get such an answer. Therefore, for a while, no matter how exquisite he is, he doesn't know what to say.

Lu Zhongyue snorted softly, slowly stood up, and asked in a deep voice, "Chen Fahai, why are you doing this? Do you have a grudge against Cheng Baihu?"

Chen Fahai's eyes bloomed with a strange light, staring at Cheng Li, and said in a condensed voice: "Because Lei is not to blame, Master Lei is the hallmaster, he used to be kind to me. Twenty years ago, I was hunted down by the enemy. If it weren't for Master Lei, there would have been no such person as Chen Fahai in the world.

But this Cheng Li killed the hall master of Lei Zong. So no matter what, I must avenge Lord Lei. Lei Wanshan and they found me, so I helped them arrange a hiding place so that they could have a chance to make a move. Hmph, I didn't expect them to be such a waste. Five to one, but they can't kill Cheng Li. ”

Cheng Li smiled and stood up. Slowly walked in front of Chen Fahai and said lightly: "If you receive the grace of people's dripping water, you will be rewarded by springs." Chen Fahai, you are also a man. For your sake, I'll give you a chance. Now, I'm standing still. If you have what you can do, just use it. As long as you have the ability to touch the corners of my clothes, I will spare your life. ”

Gonggong An and Lu Zhongyue were shocked at the same time, and shouted: "Cheng Baihu, don't!"

Cheng Li waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I have my own measure." Chen Fahai, how about it, don't you do it yet?"

Chen Fahai's eyes flashed, and he suddenly shouted violently, but he didn't make a move, but raised two palms and slapped them left and right on his waist at the same time.

"Boom~~"

At the moment of lightning, countless emerald green rays pierced Chen Fahai's chest and clothes, and rushed towards Cheng Li like hail in the sky. Coverage is as wide as a radius of seven steps. In addition, at such a very close range, this sudden attack can really be called - the gods and ghosts cannot escape!
