Chapter 55: The Past of Trial
Master Sun said to He Ming: "Last time, I personally owed you a favor, so I can suppress the wanted list and notify you to pay you back first." And this time, it's the whole Beach that owes you a favor, and I can't afford to pay you back personally. ”
He Ming said: "Lord Sun's words are serious, and the great grace and great virtue He Ming is unforgettable, but I don't know how to deal with He Ming now?" ”
Master Sun continued: "Your deeds have been reported to the city lord by the royal guards and Lord Wang, and it is clear that a wanted notice will be issued tomorrow, but it is implied that I will wait for you to inform you to avoid the limelight first. After all, the death of the wind and the burning of the remnants of the mansion had a great impact, and it was difficult to convince the public if they were not investigated. We'll let you know when the limelight is over. ”
"As for the great harm of this residual cult, we will announce their harm in the next time and try to eliminate the influence, and if we find a way to preserve their virtues, you don't have to worry."
Then he turned to Lord Wang and said, "The contemptible city lord once again implodes Lord Wang to go out of the mountain and share the government affairs, please think about it." ”
Lord Wang said:
"Thank you for the good intentions of the city lord, once some things are unloaded, you can't carry them if you want to, I still have a lot of things to do here. If the lord of the castle really cares, I would like to apply to send a few clerks to help me sort out the historical books here. Originally, He Ming was a rare talent, but you know, he had to leave again for the time being. ”
Lord Sun sighed and said: "Okay, Lord Wang's words must be brought, He Ming wants to leave, you can leave through the West Gate, there will be closed the city gate later today, now that it is getting late, I will not continue to bother, and I will leave." ”
Sun Ji came up and said, "Lord Wang said goodbye. He Ming, take care! ”
After the same polite return salute, I watched them leave. He Ming fell into deep thought. Lord Wang said:
"I can't say for sure, but the city lord may still have people from the Walmart Church by his side, and it's inconvenient for you to continue to stay in Beach City. It's not that I won't keep you, or you and Miss Li should go out of the city now, just in case. ”
He Ming said: "Thank you Lord Wang, He Ming also thinks the same way, otherwise not only will it be difficult to protect yourself, but I am afraid it will also affect the adults, let's clean up and leave as soon as possible, thank you Lord Wang again." ”
Lord Wang said, "Alas, there is no need to be polite, go ahead." ”
When He Ming went to the room, he saw that Li Yueqin had already packed his bags, and there was really a feeling of spiritual connection, and the two of them didn't have time to say goodbye to Lord Wang, so they left directly from the back and went out of the city from the west gate overnight.
When the two of them quickly walked to the west gate, they found a guard standing under the gate, and two groups of horses with full saddles and ready to go.
Seeing the two of them coming, the guard hurriedly greeted him and said, "The two are He Ming and Li Yueqin, Lord Sun estimates that you will leave from this gate, and specially told us not to close the city gate, and prepared two batches of good horses to see them off." so as not to cause accidents. ”
Seeing this, He Ming was not polite, and came up to him and said, "Youlao thanked Master Sun for me!" We'll be there soon. ”
The guard continued, "Lord Yu's disciples are still very powerful, and it will take time to erase his influence, so the two of you leave as soon as possible, otherwise they will not give up easily." ”
He Ming and Li Yueqin turned on their horses and made a detour through the woods north of Beach, heading straight to the east. Before dawn they crossed the border from Beechcraft to Viper Valley, and after a long journey over several hills, they finally returned to Viper Mountain Village.
When they entered the village, the villagers had already come out to work, and they were very happy to see them returning, so someone spontaneously prepared breakfast for them. He Ming saw that Li Yueqin, who had not yet recovered, was obviously very tired, so he helped her go up to rest first, but his mind was full of all kinds of messy thoughts, and he didn't feel sleepy for a while.
After coming down and explaining to the villagers, he told Li Yueqin to go out for a walk by himself, and he rode the Shabak horse and ran towards the alliance like a wind.
It was he who was mortally injured in the battle, and it was Li Yueqin who was the most dangerous in the whole process. Not only is a warrior like him unable to help Li Yueqin do anything, but even if there are other Taoist priests here, he can't do anything about the people who are overdrawn by casting spells.
And Li Yueqin is actually quite strong among the Taoist priests he knows, and all kinds of magical auxiliary magic are emerging in endlessly. In good conscience, Li Yueqin is not bad, but after going to Shabak, she is a little different from before, if Li Yueqin is still like this, it will be dangerous to go to the end of the world with her.
He Ming was by no means afraid that she would drag him back, he was simply worried that if he encountered a strong enemy, he would not be able to protect his partner around him, and no matter how bad the scene was, He Ming could only watch. If you can make your partner relatively stronger, there will be no problem.
The simple and direct way is to find a more powerful Taoist priest to help, and such a person will have a ready-made one. But as long as his thoughts drifted to the person called the interrogator, He Ming had a headache.
has been with the two of them for two or three days, and the arrogant and cold Ye Zilan doesn't care, except for some decisive words, he didn't speak.
And the interrogator said enough words, but to summarize what the interrogator said, it can be summarized into three types: setting He Ming's situation, changing the topic and letting He Ming's question be asked in vain, nonsense.
He Ming wanted to say that this guy had never said a serious word in his mouth, but he, there was still a lot of news about Beechy in Viper Valley, and he unknowingly took it all to him.
There is no difference between asking him directly and asking for trouble with yourself, so you won't be stupid enough to ask Li Tingao, right? Even if Li Tingao behaved respectably last time, this time He Ming went up to ask this kind of question like this, and if he was not thrown out of Shabik as garbage, He Ming would doubt his IQ.
But the horse ran so fast, and in a blink of an eye, it was not far from Shabak, so did it come in vain? Gritting his teeth, he ran to the defense line on the east side of Shabak City, found a familiar guard, and said to him carefully: "This brother, if you want to find Ye Zilan, where can you find her?" ”
The guard looked at him like a monster, and then couldn't help but laugh. "Ye Zilan! You guy actually got her idea! Trust me, little brother, you're not the first, I don't know if it's the last! Hahaha. ”
This guy showed such an exaggerated appearance, told He Ming to wait for him to get on his horse and run towards Shabak, and the soldiers around him all looked at him with a smile, as if he was a living joke, making him want to get into a crack in the ground.
He Ming comforted himself while making a funny scene, he came for a very serious question, he shouldn't be affected by these boring external factors, he practiced martial arts hard, and the process of defeating his opponent was not the pursuit of the realm of devoting himself wholeheartedly and ignoring external objects?
In this kind of cranky thinking, time refuses to move as if it has taken root, and when Ye Zilan arrived here on a white horse with a divine horse, He Ming's face was as red as a peach blossom, and the whole person looked like he really wanted to get into the ground.
Ye Zilan, who is tall and condescending, still looks like he is high and self-respecting. To be fair, her strength is worthy of this image.
At least in the eyes of He Ming now, she is not only as beautiful as the first time they met, but also her own savior, because she can finally escape this terrible embarrassing venue!
He led the horse to Ye Zilan like a desperate escape, and the rhetoric that had been thought of for a long time in his mind had already been thrown out of the clouds. Hurriedly shouted to her: "Hello! I have something to say to you! ”
Ye Zilan, whose expression was always dignified and steady, couldn't hold back when she saw this scene, but she still nodded thoughtfully, and asked him with a smile: "What are you talking about here?" Or do we go out and talk about it alone? ”
Just this sentence was simply said in order to save He Ming from this scene of suffocation. Without the slightest politeness and image, he shouted: "Say it alone!" Can you say it alone? ”
Ye Zilan drank: "Get on the horse!" After patting the horse and turning around, He Ming rode on the horse like a desperate escape and chased Ye Zilan. Watching the two leave, the guards laughed and talked about it.
We don't know what the soldiers are talking about, and no matter what they talk about behind their backs, their minds are 108,000 miles off, so let's ignore them and turn our attention to the other side.
They didn't go long before Ye Zilan reined in the horse, because Maxima had already run far enough, and those people would definitely not be able to hear it. She looked back at He Ming and asked, "Okay, it's just the two of us now, let's say something quickly." ”
He Ming said with embarrassment on his face: "I actually ...... I really didn't know it was going to be like this, I really didn't know if they were going to have this kind of reaction when they asked like that. ”
Ye Zilan put on her signature expression and said:
"It's nothing, at a dinner party, many gentlemen made fun of me, asked me how to arrange lifelong events, I told them, anyone as long as they feel that they can do it, they can pursue it directly, as long as they ask me, I will never refuse. And then a lot of people did ask me out, but yes. Hum! ”
I'm afraid that no one can carry this line, you are a great god who resisted the ring of fire and pushed Li Tingao out more than ten meters, He Ming muttered to himself in his heart, and said:
"Actually, I'm not here to talk about this. I have something to ask for a trial of my senior, but I don't think I can get anything out of asking him directly. ”
Ye Zilan could even see some curiosity and said, "Of course, he will definitely disappoint you, but what can make you come here to ask like this?" I don't think you're going to want to do Shabak again. ”
He Ming spoke: "I went back this time and Li Yueqin experienced a dangerous trip, in order to treat my serious injuries, Li Yueqin seriously overdrew her mana, so the injuries suffered were very serious, and she has not been able to recover so far.
"And the senior is a Taoist priest like her, and there may not be much of a problem in that situation. Or if it were him, I probably wouldn't have gotten hurt at all. So I thought...... Ask the interrogator if he can help Li Yueqin become stronger. ”
It was rare for Ye Zilan not to speak in a condescending tone: "It seems that you don't understand the theory of Taoist spells at all, otherwise you wouldn't have come here for a trip and made such an embarrassment." ”
"The theory of Taoist spells?"
"You look a few years younger than me, but after all, you have been in the wrong place in the most tragic and dark era, He Ming. One day, when all the mastery at the bottom of the box was made public in front of everyone, everyone chose a suitable career according to their interests and talents. But only a small number of people choose Taoist priests, do you know why? ”
"Why?"
"When the Dao technique was spread from the White Sun Gate, it was already displayed in front of anyone without reservation. Compared with those family heirlooms, secret magic and swordsmanship, which caused a sensation, people who learn Taoism still have those old spells in their hands.
He Ming was stunned: "That is to say: "All those Taoist techniques, Taoist priests have actually learned, but their achievements are completely dependent on talent?" ”
"It's not that simple, the truly powerful Taoist priests in the White Sun Gate, in order to exert their power, they have to go through cruel practices such as abstinence, pure heart, and penance, and then reach the realm of nothingness and selflessness, and finally they can exert the true power of these spells that everyone can know.
Ye Zilan looked into the distance, as if he had re-stepped into that past era. "So, when the cheats are made public. People with understanding, qualifications, and talents have all chosen the path of warriors or mages, and except for some weak ones, or those who are suitable for Taoist priests, no one continues to practice Taoism. ”
He Ming seemed to understand a little: "In other words, the senior of the trial is a gifted Taoist priest?" ”
Ye Zilan looked at him and sneered, "You seem to understand again?" Do you really want to know the past of the Guardian? I'll tell you! Among the young people, the Judge is a fierce and talented warrior, and he quickly mastered all kinds of swordsmanship to the peak!
Then in a pursuit, they were confronted by an ambushed orc. Although they fought bravely and won in the end, the Taoist priest in the team was killed because he was too weak. And the interrogator, watching the comrade who should have been saved slowly die but there is nothing he can do, that person is the skeleton he summoned in the dungeon, and he is also a respectable warrior.
After he came back, he didn't give a reason, so he turned to learning Taoism. It is conceivable that his kind of personality and the mood at that time, his cultivation of Dao Technique has made no progress, and even a novice who has been in the company for a few days is stronger than his Dao Technique.
So he went to the most respected Taoist teacher at that time for guidance. The mentor couldn't bear to let him go down a fruitless path, and at first rejected him, and then found that he knelt at his door for a day and a night, and finally taught him the state of mind of Taoism, the realm of nothingness and selflessness.
Not long afterward, he was like a ruffian, he never focused on anything again, he never spoke seriously, no one could see what he cared about at any time, he didn't pluck a hair, he didn't take a penny, and his Taoism was unmatched by anyone from then on.
"Many magical Dao techniques that everyone knows but no one uses have become in his hands, and we are even more powerful because of such a powerful auxiliary force. But even a warrior who can defeat him in swordsmanship now is a master. ”
