Chapter 386: A Friend of Life and Death (Part II)
(Thanks to Brother Chenyuan for the tip)
Different people may have different interpretations of the word "friend".
Some people like to think of it as a reciprocal relationship, although they do not necessarily have this tendency when they "make friends", but once this relationship is established, then the natural "tug-of-war" between use and use is sounded; Some people prefer to treat it as a one-way demand-seeking relationship, and when they are needed by their friends, they express regret in a timely manner, euphemistically express their refusal, and firmly express their determination to help each other next time...... Of course, there is always a decent excuse that seems to be more understandable than it seems to be reasonable.
In the eyes of people like Dixon, the so-called "friends" can only be these two kinds, although he also knows that in the eyes of some simple people, there may still be doubts and even fierce opposition to this, but this can only deepen Dixun's identification with their "superficial and ignorant", perhaps out of pity will sigh "You, you are still young", or out of mockery, the corners of the mouth slightly upturned and ask "Oh?" Is it? ”
So when he heard about "betraying a friend" from Hua Hateliu's mouth, it was only a brief surprise and quickly returned to normal.
"If you're going to kill the clouds, then you'd better bring another person with you." Di Xun thought for a while, pointed at She Qing and said, "If I can, I can spare him once." ”
"Oh? Who would that be? Hua hated Liu was slightly stunned, not expecting that after he had achieved his desired goal, there would be another unexpected gain.
"Gongsun stopped."
"This ......" Hua Hate Liu frowned slightly, Gongsun Zhi thought that he naturally wanted to find it, but at the moment, he didn't know his whereabouts, let alone kill the other party...... Besides, there is already a dead person lying there, and when the time comes, he will go directly to Beidi and cut off his head and give it to Di Xun, but Gongsun Zhi has only one, and he has no deep hatred for himself - at least in his own opinion, there is no reason for him to deserve death, and he promised his head to Di Xun for no reason, is this appropriate?
"Isn't it a good deal?" Seeing that Hua hated Liu hesitated, this was far beyond Di Xun's expectations, and he frowned and asked.
"It's a good deal, it's a sure win." Hua Hate Liu nodded and admitted: "But what about the reason? ”
"What reason?" Dixon asked rhetorically: "Your reason for killing him, or my reason for killing him?" Does it matter? ”
"It doesn't matter." Hua hated Liu shook his head, it is indeed as Di Xun asked, this so-called "reason" is not important, the reason for doing or not doing it and the safety of She Qing's life can be considered later.
"Then I can ......"
"Not necessarily." Hua Hate Liu was about to nod in response, but She Qing stopped him unceremoniously, he nodded slightly to Hua Hate Liu and apologized, and saw Hua Hate Liu chuckling and his heart was a little settled, and then he said to Di Xun: "You don't have to spare me once." ”
"What, you're not afraid of death?" Di Xun was slightly stunned, not understanding why She Qing would take the initiative to refuse his kindness.
"Everyone is afraid of death, and I am no exception...... Speaking of which, my husband and Mr. Big are also afraid of death! She Qing smiled bitterly and glanced at Hua Hate Willow again, as if to verify whether what he said was true.
"Yes, not only am I sure that I am afraid of death, but I even dare to say that the gentleman who put life and death aside when he saw the sugar gourd, if he put aside the sugar gourd and then think about this matter, he is also afraid to die." Hua hated Liu with a wry smile, and was not unhappy because of She Qing's shortcomings as his "student" in revealing the sect, he even became more straightforward on this basis, and "betrayed" his "husband" by the way.
"In that case, why don't you let me spare you once?" Listening to Dixun's words, it seems that he can't show much interest in the "double reed" between the master and apprentice, and more importantly, he seems to have decided to give this "favor" to She Qing before he can stop.
"Two reasons." She Qing thought for a while, stretched out his finger and said: "You and I are bound to have an endless duel, whether it is today or tomorrow, it is just a matter of time, this is one of them; I owe you a favor, it is equivalent to owing you a life, although if I really owe me and I have no intention of repaying, but it is always a difficult knot in my heart, this is the second. No matter what the reason, the two rights of sparing me and not sparing me are more important, and the lesser of two evils, I think it is better not to owe you favors. ”
"You've thought it through." Di Xun nodded after hearing this, he couldn't hear whether it was praise or sarcasm, he was silent and raised his head and asked: "Sometimes time changes a person a lot, you may not be able to defeat me today, but another day is not necessarily, fight for one more day, won't the chance of revenge be greater?" ”
"First, I want to kill you, not to defeat you, this is my determination, it doesn't matter whether I can do it or not; Second, I will never be able to defeat you, let alone kill you, no matter if it is one more day, or a year, so the only meaning of time for me is to kill you. ”
"Consume me?" Dixon thought it was funny, "Isn't it a contradiction that you want to outlive me and refuse my kindness?" ”
"Not a contradiction." She Qing shook his head and pointed to Hua Hate Liu and Dugu beside him: "It's the two of them who do it, and I resolutely don't interfere." If I don't come to provoke you, why should you trouble me? ”
Seeing the smile on Di Xun's face gradually solidify, She Qing couldn't say how happy he was, but he knew that he had made a rope for Di Xun that could just fit into his neck, but it could only be put into his neck, if Di Xun was angered, then there was no need to wait for him to kill Di Xun, Di Xun would have let him wait on Huangquan Road many years earlier.
So he just looked at Deeson with a blank face, staring at Deexon without turning his eyes, and watching Deeson staring at himself without fear.
"You're right, if you don't mess with me, I won't be hard for you." Di Xun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he nodded at She Qing and said.
After speaking, he didn't look at She Qing anymore, but instead looked at Hua Hate Liu and said, "Then this mention will be put aside on the other side!" As he spoke, he pointed at Dugu again: "Dial the clouds, one life for another." ”
"Okay." Hua Hate Liu readily agreed, and after agreeing, he didn't say anything else, but Dugu Duan on his side was like a wild horse off the leash, and suddenly burst out, and the direction of the forward rush was where Di Xun was!
"Knives!" Although She Qing didn't move his mouth on the side, it didn't prevent him from moving his mouth. Almost as soon as Dugu Duan moved up, he raised his head and shouted upstairs, the person upstairs seemed to have been waiting for him to speak, and before the words fell, the knife had already flown down from the upstairs, but the direction of the flight was not Dugu Duan, but Di Xun - more precisely, behind Di Xun!
At the same time as Dugu broke off, Hua Hate Liu also moved, but his move was a lot more puzzling - if it was against a master like Di Xun, generally speaking, only after taking the lead was more conducive to surviving from this comparison, Dugu Duan knew this well, so he chose to attack directly, although Hua Hate Liu didn't know as much as Dugu Duan in this regard, but he had no reason not to know such a superficial truth!
What exactly does he want to do?
The answer is simple, he wants to take a knife.
The time when Hua Hate Liu chose to move was when Dugu Duan rushed to Di Xun to block his sight, so in Di Xun's opinion, it was just a blink of an eye that Hua Hate Liu, who was still in his sight, disappeared with a "sudden" sound......
However, this didn't shock him much, because even if he couldn't see Hua Hate Liu, he could still know exactly where Hua Hate Liu had arrived, because the other party's qi locked on him was not broken, and naturally his own qi locked on the other party's qi was still there.
This is the second time Dugu Duan has confronted Di Xun head-on, the first time he was swept away by his leg before he rushed to Di Xun, this time compared to the last time a lot of improvement, at least he can clearly feel that his fist style has touched the seemingly invisible but extremely powerful Qi Gang on the periphery of Di Xun's body, and he can also clearly perceive that he is afraid that with his own strength, he may not have broken this layer of Qi Gang before he will be swept away by Di Xun mercilessly.
However, the result was not what he expected.
Instead of being swept away by one leg, his fist only had a slight friction with Qi Gang before breaking through Qi Gang and blasting at Dixon with unabated momentum.
No, this is not a "breakthrough"! In an instant, Dugu Duan realized that his fist style did not shatter Di Xun's qigang, but the other party took the initiative to withdraw imperceptibly at the moment when the qi gang collided with his fist style!
There was not the slightest joy in his heart, but his fist did not show the slightest timidity, and he slammed into his outstretched arm against the tower-like Dixon...... That fist at one end!
There was a "boom" explosion, and the figure of Dixon rushed forward was how to hit back with a heavy blow, and the counter of the inn was smashed by his upside-down body, and unfortunately after a clang, it shattered along with the wine jar, fell, and was broken all over the place.
The same is true of man, who, though he is still standing and struggling to stand, hangs weakly, and the pieces of his clothes outside his arms are torn, and he is not as well-dressed as a beggar who goes about begging in the streets.
"Die!"
This is not what Di Xun said, since he has promised not to kill Dugu, then he will not take the initiative to violate his promise to kill Dugu before he angers him again.
This word "death" is not so much a catharsis of love as a declaration! It may be the death sentence of a person, or it may simply be to inform someone, which is an unstoppable form of killing.
The three forms of heaven and man.
Hua Hate Liu appeared behind Di Xun with a long knife in his hand, and he did not stop, because he knew that even if he took the lead in the moment before Di Xun reacted, but in the face of absolute strength, this advantage always seemed to be a little victorious but not martial, and there were some mayflies shaking the tree.
All he did was to see what he could do with this formula.
