32. Warrior mythology
In the camp tent of Bird and Flower Island, Shen Qiu's honesty made Asuka a little stunned.
With the entanglement unique to a child, he glanced at Shen Qiu a few times, and then said hesitantly:
"You're not going to lie to me, are you? Many adults like to deceive children.
It's like Ryoma-kun, who always lied to me and said that as long as I was there, everything would be fine, but in reality, I couldn't help at all, and everything was getting worse. β
"I'm a bad guy though."
Shen Qiumo rubbed his beard, stretched out his hand and stroked the forehead of the bird in front of him, and said:
"But I'm not bad enough to fool a child."
"It's better to worship the Heavenly Great Sword Saint as a teacher."
Monk Zhenji suddenly spoke:
"Forming a master-apprentice relationship, such as making a contract, whether in Middle-earth or Dongying, the master-apprentice relationship is also comparable to that between father and son, the friendship is very and cannot be deviated from."
"Well, that's a good idea."
Shen Qiu nodded, he looked at the little boy in front of him and said:
"Asuka, are you willing to join my Lechuan Sect?"
"Yes."
The boy was very clever, and immediately knelt down, and he raised the long knife in his hand again, and said crisply:
"The apprentice has nothing to grow, only this knife is left, so it will be used for apprenticeship, please take it from the master."
"It's too heavy."
Shen Qiu shook his head and said:
"I'm inconvenient to use, if you really have the heart, take it as a gift? Give it to the person who really helped you.
My family is green? Will it support the rivers and mountains of the world, and then take over the weight of a country? For her? It's fine. β
"You're going to find trouble for your sister."
Hua Qing, who was watching from the sidelines, pouted? He held the Qingyue sword box beside him and said:
"Poor young baby? Stressful enough? was put on more burdens by the unscrupulous senior brother, can your junior sister's immature shoulders really resist? β
"Aren't there still you and me?"
Shen Qiu said casually:
"We'll help her with that? Especially you.
Thinking about becoming my family's young brother-in-law? This is exactly when you are in front of Ah Qing, when you are not active, other girls, how can you see your reliability? β
"Oh yes."
Hua Qing nodded approvingly.
Shen Qiu, who was watching, sighed again and again.
Previous cyan? What a reliable person to be, and now he has become so reckless and deceitful? is really a man in love, and his IQ is rapidly returning to zero.
"Huh"
Under the gaze of the birds? Shen Qiu waved his left hand lightly, and the spiritual wind escaped? The soul in Kendama? All of them were returned to their bodies? The samurai lying outside the tent immediately opened their eyes, and as if in a dream, they quickly stood up.
When the sword and spear are unsheathed, they shall be put into the tent.
"εΊγ¦θ‘γ!"
But a scolding made them stop.
In the tent, Ryoma, who fell on his back, shook his head in embarrassment, got up from the ground, sat cross-legged in place, and the confusion caused by the loss of his soul made his head feel very uncomfortable.
Opposite him, Lu Yuniang, who was sitting cross-legged, also opened his eyes.
The girl looked tired, as if she had been run over by hundreds of elephants in turn, and her body was not injured, but her spirit was very tired, and the irritable wind and thunder god also quieted down.
After all, just now, it was hacked to death by the dog god with the heart sword more than ten times, if it weren't for the infinite resurrection in the dream, this rebellious ghost would have collapsed due to serious injuries.
"Asuka, you shouldn't have come."
Ryoma Sakamoto sat on the ground and said something to the child who was holding him with concern.
The tone was full of regret.
The secret he tried so hard to protect had been exposed in front of Shen Qiu's eyes, and he would rather die as a warrior than let the lord fall into this danger because of him.
"All strong people have some common problems."
Seeing Ryoma's face of remorse, Hua Qing whispered:
"Always fight against the surging crisis with his own strength, and want to protect the people behind him with his own life and the sword in his hand, and he doesn't want to involve them in any crisis.
But people's hearts are made of flesh, you are so willing to protect them, can the people you protect be able to watch you go to death with peace of mind?
You love them, and they love you too.
They can't see you die, and the more you push them away, the harder they try to get close to you, and they will give up everything to protect you just as you protect them. β
"Yes."
Asuka was on a knife, and he said to Ryoma, who was in a low mood:
"Ryoma-kun calls himself a loyal dog, and since I was born, he has guarded me every step of the way, even if he puts down his arrogance and bows to the wicked, it is also to protect me.
I've seen it all.
Ryoma-kun, you are not only my guard, not only my elders, I don't want a loyal dog who fights for me, I want a friend who can walk with me through life.
I am very happy to be able to come to your rescue today as you did to save me. β
He put his arm around Ryoma and put his hand on the warrior's trembling hand.
He whispered:
"Ryoma-kun, we don't need to fight alone anymore, I've found a trusted friend for us, my teacher, who will shelter us homeless samurai in the future.
He'll take us home.
It's like you told me since I was a child, the cherry blossoms flying in the spring, I know, that's your regret, it's the painful regret that lingers in your heart.
Together, we can complete it. β
Ryoma whispered in the language of Toei and talked to Asuka, and the monk Maji also participated, as if he was persuading, and it was like a conversation between old friends.
Shen Qiu didn't bother.
He just watched the scene quietly.
Although these people from outside the territory did not grow up in Middle-earth, they have seen different things since they were children, but the feelings of people and people can be communicated.
Even if the language is not understood, those strong emotions can be perceived.
Everyone is no different.
The same body, the same soul, and the same regrets.
We can all be friends, especially when we have common enemies, and if those with ugly hearts stand together, they can become a kind of force that turns the world upside down.
Then all those who yearn for the light and serve righteousness should do the same.
"It's a force that can be united."
Shen Qiu thought so.
Sakamoto Ryoma established the Ryoma Kingdom, and even did not hesitate to be cannon fodder to lead people to attack the Southern Dynasty, just to protect Asuka, the last bloodline of Emperor Toei, and these samurai have proven their loyalty.
They can be united.
"There are more than 30,000 people here, all of whom have been seen by the lord himself."
After more than a dozen breaths, Ryoma stretched out his hand to wipe his eyes, and the warrior faced Shen Qiu, put his hands on his knees, and said in a deep voice:
"None of them are involved in the Penglai Demon Thieves, they are all the most loyal people in my Ryoma Kingdom, and they are the last strength of the Gongwei Lord. Now, the lord has made up his mind, and we and other samurai can only sacrifice their lives to accompany them.
Please also ask the Great Sword Saint of the Heavenly Heaven to use our power! β
This can be regarded as a surrender.
As the Daimyo of Ryoma, he declared his allegiance to Shen Qiu.
But again, Shen Qiu didn't need their allegiance, they made the wrong allegiance to someone.
"You keep doing what you have to do."
Shen Qiu waved his hand:
"Since you have made an alliance with the northern kingdom, you must do it with your heart, so as not to tarnish your faith as a samurai and destroy the southern kingdom, and let it go.
It's just that we must not attack and disturb the people of Middle-earth all the way, let alone burn, kill and loot!
The dilapidated house was bulldozed, and the ground was white and clean, so that my family could be young, raise troops with great righteousness, and recover this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.
When my Middle Earth is stable and the evil is completely eliminated, there will be millions of people with armor and brave warriors in Middle Earth, who will cross the sea to the east and help you to recover your homeland. β
He whispered:
"This is a military matter, and it requires the monarchs of both sides, even if I am a bird in vain, and discuss with my junior sister attentively, you and I, as outsiders, are not allowed to intervene.
Today, I will witness your Ryoma name and Master Zhenji. The pact between the two countries has been concluded, do you still have doubts? β
Ryoma Sakamoto shook his head.
He is an orthodox samurai, he pays attention to loyalty and righteousness, and will not interfere with the decision of the lord, and Asuka, who usually seems a little cowardly and introverted, can talk about this matter generously today, which also makes Ryoma quite pleased.
The lord has the responsibility and courage to be the lord of the country, and in this little boy, he has seen the hope of recovering his family and country.
"Good."
Seeing that Ryoma had no objections, Shen Qiu nodded with satisfaction.
He stood up and said:
"You wait here to continue to wait for the order of the northern country, I want to take the bird to Suzhou, and then the matter of killing the demon immortal will be helped by the bird."
Asuka had already told Ryoma about this.
Although the latter was a little worried, Shen Qiu allowed the samurai to accompany him, which made Ryoma feel a little more at ease, and he said:
"Killing the Penglai demon thief is a great good deed to restore Dongying, and the sovereign's participation in it will definitely make his name spread all over the world, which is a good thing.
But I also want to ask, Great Sword Master, where do you want to go for the Lord? β
"Hongchen Jun, you should be active in the land of Qilu at this time."
Shen Qiumo rubbed his chin and said:
"I'm going to go there too, and use the bird's delusional pupil breaking technique to catch and kill the immortal who claims to be incarnated into tens of millions."
"Qilu?"
Ryoma was shocked.
He immediately stopped:
"Middle-earth can be anywhere, but there, no!"
"Huh?"
Shen Qiu and Hua Qing made a confused nasal voice at the same time.
Then I heard Ryoma say in a serious tone:
"You two just heard me say that I have something to tell you, and that is a major event related to Middle-earth Qilu!
You are far away from the open sea, and you should not know that just a few days ago, the Daimyo of the Toying Maori family had sent tens of thousands of troops across the kamikaze zone to Middle-earth!
The place they want to attack is in Qilu!
According to the calculation of time, those dog thieves who obeyed Penglai were afraid that they had landed along the Qilu coast at this time and attacked inland. β
"Not good! Penglai wants to flip the table! β
When Ryoma's voice fell, Hua Qing's expression immediately changed, and he said to Shen Qiu:
"They went to the 70,000 hundred battle troops of the Southern Dynasty, more than 70,000 people, who were extracted from the battle qi and refined spiritual power, which was enough to permanently change the situation in Qilu, and there were many years of attack.
There are countless dead, the world is full of anger, and if you are led by the evil array, there will be ten thousand ghosts rampant immediately, and this Qilu place will be full of ghosts among adults!
If the evil array aura invades further south and north, and Lianyan Kyoto falls, the affairs of this world will collapse immediately.
If your family Qingqing wants to recover the rivers and mountains, there is no need to talk about it! β
Shen Qiu's expression also became heavy and solemn.
But in his eyes, there was a hint of strangeness and a little luck, fortunately, in the Jade Emperor Palace before, he had taught the secret art of divine martial arts, so that Qilu would not be powerless to resist in the face of calamity.
But just relying on the group of Taoist masters on Mount Tai will definitely not work, their number is too small.
"The stage of petty fights has passed."
Shen Qiu moved his fingers and said to Hua Qing, Ryoma and Asuka behind him:
"Penglai doesn't want to wait any longer, I'm tired of waiting, next, it's time to do it with real knives and guns, or Penglai wins the world, and I have no place to die.
Or, it is our Jedi counterattack, bulldozing Penglai's plan in a battle, and winning the world of the country.
Don't hesitate any longer, it's time for the forces to be prepared everywhere!
Huaqing, you and Zhuo Ran go to Qilu first, be sure to hurry, go to Mount Tai and the Jade Emperor Palace to join everyone, I will make Yijian and the Heluo Gang dispatch from the Central Plains and rush to Qilu to fight.
Wulong Villa will also send elites to support.
I will go to Suzhou first, and after meeting with Qingqing, I will go to Qilu, and Yu Niang, with Penglai planning, your second brother is probably already on the way to Qilu at this time.
If you want to save him, you have to go there. β
"Okay."
Hua Qing stood up, and he asked:
"Over there of the Hundred Battles Army, do you want to save it?"
"Do your best."
Shen Qiu thought for a while and said:
"I will let Jing Hong bring a letter over, if Zhao Lian's life is blessed, it will naturally turn evil into good fortune, but if it is like this, there is no need to forcibly save it!
The Taihang Mountain incident was suppressed by Penglai, and the people in the rivers and lakes could not recognize the truth, so they hesitated.
After this battle, everyone in the entire rivers and lakes who is still watching has to make a choice!
Or lean over and be a dog for Penglai.
Or just join us and be an upright person.
That's a good thing.
Great thing! β
Then he looked at the birds beside him, and said to the boy:
"You kid is lucky, as soon as you enter my door, you can see a great battle, follow me to Qilu, I make a promise for you, and let you see it with your own eyes.
You'll see, in vain.
What you want to see, dispel the light of the night, it will bloom in the ghosts of Qilu. β
"Hmm."
Asuka clenched the heavy knife in his hand, a little scared in his heart, this is normal, but he also has an expectation in his heart, even if he was born in the land of Samhan, he also knows the disaster of his homeland.
Since he was a child, he has been instilled with the concept that he wants to save his hometown, which is a mission he can't hide.
Now, at this time, he is finally about to embark on this road with no end in sight.
"The master should also accompany us."
Shen Qiu said to the great monk Zhenji beside him:
"What I said that night, I can't make the master make up his mind, hold the filthy power that comes from the darkness, maybe this trip to the battle array will make the master make up his mind."
"Let's go, guys."
Shen Qiu walked out of the tent, he looked at the sky in front of him, the sea was wide, and there were no clouds, just like the body and mind of a warrior, enough to accommodate all things in heaven and earth.
He waved his hand at those who followed him, a smile on his face.
"With this battle, we will create our own myth, and from now on, all beings in this world no longer need to pray for mercy from monsters."
"The devil is hungry for war, and of course we will satisfy it."
