49: Brother
After Dongfang Yun became the leader of the gang, of course, he was ambitious and determined to reinvigorate the prestige of the beggar gang.
It happened that at this time, the Demon Saint was terrified and reappeared, and many masters of the Demon Temple challenged various sects everywhere. So Dongfang Yun contacted Monk Hua, as well as the four gang leaders of the Cao Gang, the Salt Gang, and the Tongqian Gang, to go north together, trying to take the opportunity to regain the reputation of the beggar gang.
In all fairness, Dongfang Yun knew that he was still young, and even though the Dragon Descending Eight Fights and Dog Fighting Stick Techniques were powerful and wonderful, when it came to the depth of the foundation, they were definitely not as good as the Demon Saints who had been famous for decades.
Therefore, Dongfang Yun never had the luxury of hoping that he would be able to defeat the Demon Saint in one battle. It's just that I hope to be able to make a move with the Demon Saint and make a name for myself. Of course, if the Demon Saint can be prevented from continuing to destroy the sect and destroy the sect, and thus save the lives of countless fellow Jianghu Daoists, it is also Dongfang Yun's sincere wish.
But Dongfang Yun could no longer imagine that he had not even seen the shadow of the Demon Saint, and he had already been severely defeated by the Demon Saint's junior disciple.
After more than ten years of hard training since childhood, I thought that I had enough capital to compete with the heroes of the world. Unexpectedly, the first battle after serving as the gang leader ushered in defeat. To say that Dongfang Yun is not depressed, it is impossible.
After all, he was still a young man, and he had not been able to cultivate to the point where his joy and anger were completely invisible. Therefore, after Dongfang Yun returned to the inn where he stayed, he was always depressed. Don't talk to anyone else either. Just sitting on the edge of the bed and sulking yourself.
Before you know it, it's dusk. Suddenly, the door was pushed open. Immediately after, a fragrance wafted into the room at the same time as a moon-white figure.
The flower monk held a plate in his hand, on which were placed several plates of very delicate vegetarian dishes, as well as a small pot of vegetarian wine. He walked in. smiled and said, "Little brother, why be depressed? Come on, big brother has carefully made a few vegetarian dishes that you like to eat, come and try them?"
Dongfang Yun was startled, raised his head suddenly, and said in surprise: "Big brother, didn't you say that when you are outside, you should not be called brothers?"
Monk Lihua smiled: "Don't worry, Gang Master Kong, Gang Leader Hai, and the two Gang Leaders Xie have all gone out to drink." There are no outsiders here except you and my brother. Come and eat. If it is left cold, the taste will be poor. ”
Dongfang Yun nodded, then came over and sat down at the table, picked up the chopsticks and ate a few bites of food. Although he was in a depressed mood, he couldn't help but praise: "Big brother's food, no matter when you eat it, it's always so delicious." ”
The color of the flower monk's face said, "That's nature." Otherwise, how could I be called the Seven Wonderful Monks by the people in the rivers and lakes? Martial arts, wisdom, chess, piano, poetry, painting, and cooking. Haha, among the seven uniques, the one I am most proud of is still cooking after all. ”
Dongfang Yun sighed: "Actually, if it weren't for me to become the leader of the beggar gang, the position of the first seat of the Bodhi Hall of Longhua Temple should have been yours of the eldest brother." Even with your talent, eldest brother, the position of the host of Longhua Temple is not hopeless in the future. But just for my sake...... It's me who has caused you, big brother. ”
The flower monk said with a smile: "Little brother, my brother, where is there anyone who is sorry for whom? The first seat of Bodhi Hall has a high status, great responsibilities and complicated affairs. If you really want me to be, that's what will kill me. When the abbot of Longhua Temple?haha, then I might as well just return to the vulgar. ”
Dongfang Yun is still very frustrated. Said: "Master has been carefully teaching for more than ten years, and with your full help, eldest brother, I finally became the leader of the beggar gang." I didn't expect to lose the first battle. Big brother, I'm really useless. ”
Monk Lihua smiled and said, "Little brother, do you think you lost to the Black Demon Divine Monarch, so you are angry?"
Dongfang Yun sighed: "It's okay if you lose. After all, I'm not so arrogant that I think I'm invincible. The problem is that it was also too bad, too ugly. I used ten great strength to fight Kang Long, and in the end, I could only push the Black Demon Divine Monarch backwards for about a hundred steps, and I couldn't even make him spit blood. Alas~"
Monk Lihua laughed: "Little brother, you are wrong." Not only did the Black Demon God Monarch vomit blood, but he also vomited a lot. ”
Dongfang Yun was stunned and said in surprise: "Big brother, what's going on?"
Monk Lihua said: "Little brother, since you came back to the inn, you have been sulking in the room, of course you don't know." But when I went out to buy groceries in the afternoon, I heard it clearly. This matter is now in the city, but it is spreading all the rage. ”
At that moment, Monk Lihua heard in the city that Cheng Li was actually injured, vomited blood, and when the prefect and the county came to visit, he cursed angrily and shouted, threatening to regret not killing the beggar leader, and so on.
Dongfang Yun frowned and said, "This matter ...... It seems a little weird. Cheng Shenjun doesn't look like such a narrow-minded person, right? And I said that he was injured by me and vomited blood, but I didn't feel that he was holding up at all. ”
Monk Lihua said disapprehantly: "I don't know my heart. We've only met Cheng Li twice. What kind of person he was, how do we know? I can't tell, but he is really narrow-minded. It's just that it's covered up well on weekdays, and others can't see it. But there is an eternal secret in the world? Look, isn't it revealed this time?"
After a pause, Monk Lihua said again: "Little brother, have more confidence in yourself." In fact, your biggest weakness is that you always have little confidence in yourself. Descending the Dragon Eight Strikes is the pinnacle of magic that has been famous for hundreds of years, and your ten percent palm power, even if the Demon Saint takes it personally, it will never be completely fine. What's more, it's just a junior disciple of the Demon Saint?"
Dongfang Yun perked up and said, "Maybe that's the case." Big brother, thank you. ”
Monk Lihua said unhappily: "I say that I am a brother, don't say anything thank you or not." Little brother, don't think about it too much, all in all, the most important thing for you at the moment is to heal your injuries first. ”
After a pause, Monk Lihua took out a small medicine bottle from his arms, opened it, and poured out a turquoise pill about the size of a little finger. The medicinal fragrance is fragrant, which makes people feel comfortable all over.
Monk Lihua said: "Little brother, this is the Zhantan Pill given by my master. Extremely helpful for your injuries. Hurry up and take it. ”
Dongfang Yun was surprised: "Zhan Tan Dan? This is the secret elixir of Longhua Temple. I heard that unless you make a great contribution, you will never give it easily. Big brother, you gave it to me, so ......"
Monk Lihua interrupted him, shook his head and said, "No matter how good things are, they are still used." Otherwise, no matter how good things are, what is the difference between them and the stones on the side of the road?
What's more, in my mind, the most precious thing in the world is you, little brother. So, don't talk too much, hurry up and give me a meal. After finishing speaking, he directly sent the pill to Dongfang Yunkou.
Dongfang Yun was helpless and moved, sighed, and finally took the pill.
