Chapter Thirty-Five: Nalan Hates Water
If the appearance of the people of the Gun Sect made Shi Wuwei's mind appear in a trance for a moment, then everyone's attitude towards the Divine Sword Dart Bureau made him have a clearer understanding of the rivers and lakes.
He himself came from a family of literati and also from the imperial court.
His childhood ambition was to become a general who went into battle to kill the enemy.
Therefore, in the school, he was not interested in the Four Books and Five Classics taught by his husband.
He remembered that when he was a child, he always liked to secretly hide a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War or Thirty-six Strategies on his chest, hoping to be able to gallop on the battlefield after he understood it.
Until now, although the clansmen have been executed, although the childhood ambition is long gone, Sun Tzu's great wisdom in the Art of War and the small strategies in the 36 strategies, he has not forgotten.
He thought that this decisive battle would also be a contest of deceit.
But at this time, he realized that the so-called art of war and the so-called strategy in his heart turned out to be ugly like a joke in the real rivers and lakes.
If people in the rivers and lakes want to duel, they will never bully more and less, but only seek fairness. No one will take a man's wife or daughter captive or threaten to win.
If it is placed on the battlefield, if the two armies want to win, they can naturally be insidious and cunning, and do everything they can.
But in the rivers and lakes, it doesn't.
This is the avenue of rivers and lakes, and it is the way that cultivators need to follow.
The people of the Spear Sect and the Divine Sword Dart Bureau will not set up an ambush in the mountains and forests because of the disadvantage in numbers. Nor will they make any dirty moves because of their desire to win.
In the same way, the people of the twelve major sects did not bully the many and attack them in groups because of the numerical superiority.
Instead, they simply elected an equal number of people and fought a fair fight.
This is the rivers and lakes.
It's just that.
I don't know if this thousand-year-old avenue of rivers and lakes can be continued.

………
The long queue in the night has entered the largest town in the south of the Yangtze River.
Nanyang Town, near the river and the sea, has a developed fishery and many salt merchants.
And everyone in the world knows that the land of salt has always been the rich side.
This is also the main reason why Nanyang Town is richer than other towns in the world.
Perhaps, this is one of the reasons why the pirates chose to sack this place.
Because of the looting, most of the houses around the people are dilapidated.
The doors and windows have been broken, and the walls are crooked, as if it has lost the appearance of the largest town in the south of the Yangtze River.
Walking on this street, on the yellow earth under your feet, the blood stains that have turned dark red appear from time to time, and it seems that they are still telling them about the tragedy of the day.
Shi Wuwei looked around.
But he still didn't notice anything unusual from the house next to him.
"It seems that people in the rivers and lakes really disdain to use small means."
Suddenly, just when Shi Wuwei was still thinking in his heart, Senior Brother Wang in front of him stopped again.
When he looked up, he saw that the other party was staring at a huge old banyan tree not far from the street.
The old banyan tree at night is lush and green.
And such a big tree, he remembered that he had only seen it on Immortal Island.
Wang Zhengnan stopped, pointed at the old tree in front of him, and spoke.
"Who's coming!!".
As soon as these words came out, Shi Wuwei realized that there was a slender figure standing on top of this old tree.
The figure was dressed in a pale blue dress, with its back to the crowd, its long hair casually sparse behind him like a waterfall.
She didn't make a sound, and she didn't look back.
It's just that the woman in the moonlight suddenly waved her hand to the team behind her.
She just waved her hand slightly.
But this small action in the eyes of everyone aroused Wang Zhengnan's vigilance.
After he shouted "retreat", he immediately sank down and carried his true qi.
Shi Wuwei didn't think so at first, but seeing that Senior Brother Wang was so alert, he noticed a trace of strangeness.
It's just that by the time he found out about the oddity, it was too late.
And directly in front of him, that is, on the banyan tree, there was a long river that suddenly appeared, and it should not have appeared here at all.
The water of the long river, rising from nothingness, swept from the treetops of the banyan tree to the crowd on the long street.
This long river under the moonlight is full of waves.
And the splash in the waves is already clearly visible.
It's a real river.
........
Wang Zhengnan's face was very heavy.
He knew that if this river fell down, it would definitely flood the Seventh Army.
However, just when most of the people in the team had not yet figured out the situation in front of them, Wang Zhengnan, who was directly in front of him, had already used the true qi in his body to the extreme, and a cold current that seemed to come from the Nine Shadows actually stood out from the team, and in an instant, he attacked the long river head-on.
Suddenly.
The cold snap facilitates the confluence of long rivers.
Although there is a saying that freezing three feet is not a day's cold, the facts in front of me prove that the extreme cold can indeed freeze the river in an instant.
The long river that swept down was already frozen in the night sky.
The waves or splashes in the river also stand in the middle of the river like sculptures.
"Nalan hates water!!".
After a cold voice fell, Fairy Chen, who was covered in a white robe, also landed on the glacier created by her.
She looked up at the figure in the treetops.
The pale blue figure in the moonlight slowly turned around, revealing her face, which was also beautiful.
She smiled, and smiled.
"Seeing that the lover was in trouble, Fairy Chen finally made a move~".
Chen Mengxi didn't reply, nor did he see Wang Zhengnan behind him, who was already pink-faced.
She just said coldly to the Yaochi disciples in the team.
"All Yaochi disciples, order from Dong'er!".
And the person in the distance, seeing that Fairy Chen had a strong fighting spirit, he didn't care, but laughed softly.
She actually smiled very softly.
But because she added internal force to her laughter, she made this chuckle extraordinarily loud.
She didn't wait for Chen Mengxi's action, but while laughing, she turned around and flew into the distance.
Fairy Chen, who was above the glacier, ignored the discussion of the crowd below.
When she saw the enemy's distant shield, she immediately tapped the waves and chased after her directly.
And after the two people left, this long river frozen in the air smashed into the street below with a 'boom'.
Looking at the countless ice crystals scattered on the ground, Mu Yiyi finally couldn't help but ask.
"Senior Brother Wang, who is this Nalan who hates water?"
Wang Zhengnan also lowered his head, took a deep breath, and smoothed out the fluctuations in his heart a little.
After that, he said in a deep voice.
"In October of the fourth year of Yongle, Jinyiwei broke through the Shenshui Palace, the old palace master died in battle, and Nalan hated the water to take over the position of the head of the family, and fled with all the disciples."
