Chapter 52: The Shocking Truth
The winter sun sets early, the sky gets dark quickly, the sun outside the room has set in the west, the half moon in the east gradually rises, and the mercury-like moonlight is sprinkled down, tender like water. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The room was dark for a while, and then it lit up dimly, and a moonlight slipped in through the cracks in the doors and windows, pale as frost.
Luan Tingyu's thoughts were confused, and he didn't have the heart to turn on the lights at all, and several other people didn't mention it.
Cai Jing had already found a place to sit down at this time, not a chair, but sundries.
"Sect head Luan asked me the reason, then I want to ask, can you tell me objectively, what kind of person is your senior brother?"
"Villain!"
"It's a villain, but it's a person who can achieve great things, it's also an ambitious person, and it's a person with a deep mind, think about it now, with your temperament, the Song Jiang four-way army is surrounded by Zhujiazhuang on all sides, how will you choose?"
"I..."
"You don't take the initiative to attack, but choose to hold on, after all, it is always easier and safer to defend a city than to attack it. Ask the head again, if you encounter an enemy who will call for battle, will you go out first and fight with the thief for 300 rounds? ”
"I..."
"No, from the beginning of Liangshan's attack on Zhujiazhuang, you came out at a critical juncture, and tried to be safe, when Song Jiang fought Zhujiazhuang, you first watched the battle between Yizhang Qinghu Sanniang and Liangshan, and then Zhulong was not the enemy of Qin Ming, so you came forward, but you fought against Qin Ming, but you didn't use your strength to capture Qin Ming alive, from these points of view, you are a person who seeks stability and victory. Then, if you sit in the rear as before, even if Sun Xin and others open the city gate, with your ability, whether it is Xie Zhen and Xie Bao at the back door or Sun Xin and Lehe at the front door, you can kill and seal a door, and then you will have a way to arrest the other traitors in the village together, and Zhujiazhuang will not be broken so easily, so he needs you to leave the Zhuangzi, causing a situation where there are no unscrupulous generals in the village. ”
"But why did you kill me?"
Cai Jing laughed and said, "If you find that Zhujiazhuang is broken in the melee, what will you do?" ”
"Fight to the death."
Cai Jing nodded and said, "With your ability, when you fight desperately, how many of Liangshan's men and horses can stop you?" ”
"Lin Chong, Huarong, maybe Shi Xiu and Yang Xiong can too."
"That is to say, in addition to these four people, everyone else will be killed by you when they encounter you, so after you kill the leader of Liangshan and escape, as your senior brother, how will Sun Li, as your senior brother, face the other leaders of Liangshan, how will he ask for merit in front of Song Jiang, and how will he gain a foothold on Liang?"
Luan Tingyu suddenly, it turned out that he had inadvertently become a person who prevented people from being promoted to become rich, so he had to die.
Cai Jing shook his head and said, "This is just one of the reasons, and the other reason is that he is afraid of you!" ”
"Afraid of me? Impossible..."
Luan Tingyu was stunned on the spot, and Zhu Chaofeng and others were also stunned.
Sick Lieutenant Chi Sun Li, why is he afraid of Luan Tingyu?
Will Sun Li be afraid of Luan Tingyu, or ask another question: Is the sick captain Chi Sun Li's ability smaller than Luan Tingyu?
Impossible, it can be judged from Luan Tingyu's previous conversation that Sun Li and he passed the master's examination at the same time, but their master taught Sun Li marksmanship and did not pass him on, from this point of view, Sun Li should be more powerful than Luan Tingyu.
So in addition to strength, in terms of heart and scheming, with a person like Luan Tingyu who is taciturn and thinks of using the rules of the rivers and lakes to solve the grievances of the previous life, how can he be the opponent of Sun Li, who dares to betray his peers?
Since strength and strategy are not at the same level, why did Cai Jing say that Sun Li was afraid of Luan Tingyu?
Cai Jing smiled: "You don't believe it? You don't believe it? ”
There was no need to answer, because there was no one in the room who echoed his words, and silence was answered.
"Sect Leader Luan, let me ask you, can you be allowed to watch when your master teaches marksmanship?"
"It's not allowed, it's the rules of the division."
"So, who do you think is better in marksmanship, Senior Brother Zhou or Sun Li?"
Luan Tingyu didn't know what Cai Jingjing was going to do for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Senior Brother Zhou is a great martial artist, and we can't compare with him. ”
"Okay, let me ask you a very straightforward and simple question, Sun Li and your senior brother's apprentice Lin Chong, who has high marksmanship?"
Luan Tingyu woke up suddenly, yes, although they and Senior Brother Zhou were not taught at the same time, there were still objects to compare, not to mention that he had seen Lin Chong's marksmanship and Sun Li's marksmanship, because they were two sets of marksmanship at all.
Cai Jing looked at Luan Tingyu with a slight smile and said, "I think Lin Chong's marksmanship is higher, so how does your senior brother and apprentice Shi Wengong's marksmanship compare with Sun Li?" Of course, it is higher than him, and as for Lu Junyi, who is unparalleled in the world of sticks, naturally there is no need to compare. ”
After Cai Jing's words, the whole room suddenly quieted down, if Zhou Tong is a martial arts practitioner with good qualifications, then could it be that all his apprentices are extremely qualified, and they are all stronger than Sun Li? Obviously impossible, then, there is only one answer.
That is, Sun Li's marksmanship is different from Zhou Dong's, as for which is better or worse, everyone has their own plans in their hearts.
"If you still don't believe me, I still have a question, why did your master teach Sun Li not only marksmanship but also whip skills? It stands to reason that Zhou Dong has the best qualifications and should be taught, why not? ”
Luan Tingyu couldn't answer, but he seemed to have guessed a certain possibility in his heart, but this possibility made him feel blocked, uncomfortable, and panicked.
"Because if you don't have that good, valuable thing, you will buy one get one free or give the same other thing."
Valuable things will not be given away, nor will they be gifted, because their value is there.
"I think that your master will teach Sun Li a set of whip techniques, firstly, to make the friendship between master and apprentice, and secondly, to make him feel better."
"But even so, there is no need for him to be afraid of me, because he has learned more than me."
Cai Jing shook his head and said: "You are really fascinated by the authorities, whether it is martial arts or composition, it is more expensive, not to mention that the real foundation of your profession should be sticks, think about Lin Chong, think about Lu Junyi, only when you practice sticks can you learn guns well, although I don't understand where the deep connection between sticks and guns is, but your master definitely requires you to practice sticks first, and then learn guns." ”
Luan Tingyu stood slowly down, and finally knelt on the ground, his voice hoarse, unable to say complete words, tears flowing.
"Master......"
Cai Jing sighed slightly and said: "Caring for a child is not to let the child do whatever he wants, but to hone him, make him stronger, let him withstand more wind and rain, and finally spread his wings and soar in the blue sky." ”
“… I was wrong..."
Luan Tingyu's voice was hoarse, and tears crossed his face, dripping into the dust one by one.
He was wrong, he was wrong when the master started to teach Sun Li a gun and didn't teach him, from the time he sharpened the stick for nine years without the master's approval, he was wrong, from the time he thought that the master didn't value him, deliberately didn't teach him marksmanship, and left the mountain angrily, he was wrong.
I was wrong, but I never had a chance to say sorry, I was wrong, because the Si people are gone.
The room is quiet, and the moonlight is shining in the crack of the door.
It took a long time for Luan Tingyu's mood to stabilize.
Cai Jing continued: "I'm afraid that only you don't know about this matter, I think Sun Li has known it for a long time, so in the days when you have been grinding sticks for nine years and wandering away from the mountains and rivers and lakes, he is unwilling to accept you to go where he is, otherwise, you are the same family, he knows your martial arts, why didn't he recruit you to use it for him?" It was he who knew about this section, if you were alive, Sun Li would not be sure that he would be your opponent, especially after seeing Lin Chong's marksmanship. ”
Therefore, Sun Li was afraid of Luan Tingyu, afraid of a fellow brother who mastered martial arts more powerful than himself, not to mention someone who had been betrayed by him.
Luan Tingyu walked over and picked up the stick that was placed on the half-section of the counter, it was still the same black stick, still so inconspicuous, but it weighed more than a thousand catties at the moment.
"Why didn't the master tell me?"
"Probably, he wants you to realize it yourself, and when you realize it and understand it, you will go to him, and he will teach you real marksmanship."
Luan Tingyu raised his head slightly, melancholy, because until he died, he didn't realize it, and until he woke up, he didn't understand it, if it weren't for the fact that he met a wise man like Cai Jing today.
"But why didn't the master mention it?"
"Let me tell you a rumor, when Guiguzi taught Su Qin and Zhang Yi the vertical and horizontal method, before the two went down the mountain, Guiguzi asked the two of them to pick a grass plant back, Su Qin grabbed a handful and came back, but Zhang Yi was looking for a long time before bringing back a grass with soil, Guiguzi concluded that Su Qin was vulnerable to setbacks in the early stage, rich and prosperous in the middle period, and could not die well in his later years, and Zhang Yi was difficult in the first half of his life, and he was extremely rich in his later years, and he could have a good death, and then, Guiguzi's words were really fulfilled."
"Grass picking?"
Luan Tingyu suddenly came to his senses and said, "We have also had..."
Cai Jing's body straightened up suddenly, and said, "How to adopt the method." ”
Luan Tingyu thought for a while and said: "That day, after the master finished the school of our knife skills, he said that they were all very good and could learn others. ”
Cai Jing was interested, he just wanted to use a rumor to enlighten Luan Tingyu, but he didn't expect him to really have this experience, and asked: "What did you pick, and what did Sun Li pick?" ”
"I picked reeds and autumn vegetables, and Sun Li picked chrysanthemums."
Cai Jing smiled: "Why? ”
Luan Tingyu said angrily: "The rest thatched hut naturally uses long reed grass, and as for the autumn vegetables, I think that there seems to be no more vegetables at night." ”
Cai Jing smiled: "If my guess is right, your master likes chrysanthemums very much." ”
Luan Tingyu nodded, and Cai Jing said: "If that's the case, it's no wonder that he can't learn real marksmanship." ”
"Why?"
"Only by concentrating on things in the world can you achieve great success, but Sun Li has used his mind on how to please the master, and he is not attentive, but it is you, whose mind is consistent with what he does, and it is in line with your master's intentions, this is the real school for the two of you!"
This is the examination school, it turns out that between him and Sun Li, he really passed the master's examination, so the master is ......
"I think that after Sun Li went down the mountain, he slowly understood the mystery of this, so he was jealous and even afraid of you."
Cai Jing slowly dissected the events of his previous life, and the truth was shocking.
The room fell silent again, and many people began to digest Cai Jing's words, of course.
Lu Qian and Zhu Chaofeng were thinking about Cai Jing, how this person saw the truth in the words of the Water Margin, and in Luan Tingyu's words.
The moonlight is like water, and the night is quiet.
There are birds fluttering into the night sky.
Cai Jing woke up suddenly, Lu Qian also woke up, and when they crossed the door, they saw the figure of the bird in the distance.
"Chase down."
After Cai Jing finished speaking, Lu Qian began to run, and on the other side, Zhu Chaofeng said to chase, the cat jumped on the roof, undulating and jumping, chasing into the distance, and the dog began to run wildly on the ground, like black lightning.
"There are a lot of interesting things, would you like to see Sect Leader Luan?"
Luan Tingyu shook his head.
Cai Jing smiled: "Maybe, it's your old acquaintance." ”
Luan Tingyu nodded, followed Cai Jing, followed the moonlight, and chased into the distance.
Because he believed in Cai Jing's judgment.
More importantly, he wanted to know who this old man would be.
