Chapter 55: Between Advance and Retreat
The weakness of the Dragon Vein Warrior. This is something that even a scholar thinks is almost non-existent. Everything is as Tang Suoye said, maybe these are all wishful thinking on the part of everyone.
Maybe the law of immortality isn't that complicated, or maybe this dragon vein martial artist is really the chosen one.
Maybe he did this because he was a little bored in his more than 1,000-year lifespan and wanted to play in the world.
The crowd could not refute it. It's just that there seems to be one less person in the discussion.
"Brother shopkeeper, why don't you speak?" Gong Ruri suddenly spoke.
The scholar also noticed that the shopkeeper had been silent since the beginning of this topic, perhaps listening very carefully, but it was really strange that he didn't say a word.
"Yes, after all, this Dragon Vein Martial Artist has nothing to do with us, but only with you personally. And you didn't say a word, you must be weird. The scholar said.
Chen Hui didn't expect that the topic would suddenly touch him.
Chen Hui smiled, his smile was a little stiff, and he said: "This Dragon Vein Martial Artist, if he is the strongest Sword Saint in the Sword Pavilion, if it is really as the Boat Ferry Man said, he is the enemy of the other Sword Saints, and he is also the enemy who killed my master." Then his strength must not be comparable to us or even anyone in the rivers and lakes. ”
Ding Qiliang nodded and said, "If I have cultivated the Ox Solving Sword Method for a thousand years, I won't care about the ten Qi Lin Tooth Nie Traceless. ”
The scholar glanced at Ding Qiliang: "If you can live for a thousand years and only practice one kung fu, then you will live in vain for a thousand years." ”
Akath asked, "I don't know what the Dragon Vein Warriors are going to do, and I don't know what the plan is that will kill many people, but do you really want to stop them?" ”
Ding Qiliang smiled and said: "With the character of the shopkeeper, this is of course. ”
Wind show doesn't matter about shrugging shoulders.
Zhong Yunxiu and Gongyi Liuli just nodded calmly.
The scholar said: "No matter how strong a person is, he will have weaknesses, maybe as Tang Suoye said, these are all speculations, but in everything, someone has to try." ”
Akasi is not surprised by the choice of inn.
It's just that at this time, Chen Hui suddenly said, "No." ”
Everyone was stunned, not understanding what this could mean.
Chen Hui still had a smile on his face: "Drinking, eating vegetables, the topic here is too heavy, which affects appetite." ”
"You don't want to avenge your master?" Scholars don't eat this set. Everyone in the inn is also waiting for the shopkeeper to tell him why.
Chen Hui shook his head, and after a little silence, he said, "I don't want to." ”
There's a difference between not wanting to and not wanting to.
The scholar frowned, and then said with a mocking look in an instant: "Because the opponent is too strong? Scared? ”
Chen Hui nodded honestly and said, "Because the opponent is too strong." Scared. ”
Everyone was completely stunned.
"I said shopkeeper, although that guy is as strong as a god, we may not lose to him if we join forces. If you can't defeat him head-on, look for his weaknesses. And my cousin doesn't have a fairy-like master? Feng Zhan was only halfway through his sentence, and then stopped.
Because he saw that Chen Hui's expression was very calm, calm means serious, and it also means serious.
"I'm sorry, guys, it's too risky this time, so let's not get involved." Chen Hui said.
The scholar stared at Chen Hui, who did not respond, but lowered his head to eat the vegetables.
Ding Qiliang didn't expect such an arrangement, and it was not the first time that a strong enemy appeared in the inn. Ding Qiliang thought that even the two women in the inn who didn't know martial arts should have the same idea, and as for Feng Zhan and the scholars, they shouldn't be afraid.
Along the way, Qi Linya, the first sword in the world, Mizang of the Nanban Secret Realm, Emperor Fenglie in Tiankeng City, Xie Xingshi of the Martial Arts Conference, and then Xiao Qianye who was so powerful that he almost destroyed the inn. Which one is not strong? Which time is not a dilemma?
So no one thought that when Ding Qiliang and everyone in the inn decided to take care of this idle matter and save the rivers and lakes again, the strongest person in the inn gave up.
Seeing that everyone still didn't understand, Chen Hui smiled bitterly and said: "Everyone, I will naturally take care of things in the rivers and lakes, but if we can't manage it, we can only watch the excitement." The sky won't fall, and when it falls, there will be tall people on top. In the final analysis, this matter has nothing to do with us, and it has nothing to do with you. Naturally, there are people in the martial arts who will resolve the martial arts calamity, Ning Wuxie, Yun Cangxuan, and Master Zhang Tianshi Fangzheng are all stronger than me, and their joint efforts are much more powerful than our inn. We...... I really can't care about such a thing. ”
Silent.
Chenhui coughed.
The scholar probably also understood what Chen Hui meant, and made a straight face at Chen Hui. But in the end, he said, "It seems to be the same, we are just guys in an inn." You are the shopkeeper, so I will listen to you. That's the end of it. We eat. ”
Ding Qiliang and Feng Zhan looked at each other, and Akasi squinted. Without speaking, the meal ended in silence.
At nightfall, Ah Xiu and Ding Qiliang were classifying medicinal materials, and Tang Suoye and Gongyu Liuli were designing drawings. Feng Zhan and Yimi watched the late autumn sky from the roof of the inn. Feel the weather that is already a little cold.
The scholar knocked on the door of the shopkeeper and said, "Go out for a walk?" ”
After a moment of silence, I remembered Chenhui's voice.
"Okay."
……
……
The scholar still remembers the last time he walked in the night like this with the shopkeeper, it was also in autumn, in the Western Regions. At that time, he had just found his sister, and he discussed with the shopkeeper how to deal with the little beggar who had been suffering with his sister for a long time.
said that it was discussed, but it was always the scholar who made up his mind, and Chen Hui did it.
A lot of things about the inn, or most of the things that are like this.
Everyone in the inn has long been accustomed to it.
Of course, if the shopkeeper has to do one thing. Everyone in the inn will give their full support, or it is not too much to help with their lives. Everyone in the inn has this awareness of each other.
Therefore, the scholar understood that the meaning of the shopkeeper's words was what he really meant, but he still didn't understand it.
A man who can fight against the heroes of the rivers and lakes for the sake of a chef who has only known each other for a few days.
A man who promises to be able to bear the throwing knife of death head-on.
A man who can kill the Emperor Star General with a broken body in Tiankeng City.
Thinking about these pasts, the scholar thinks that the shopkeeper will be afraid? He couldn't believe it.
For the cook, Ah Xiu, Feng Zhan, and for himself, Liuli, the sect master of the Demon Sect, Li Nianyun, many people, the shopkeeper has sacrificed his life and forgotten death for these people, why finally once, this poor shopkeeper gave up for himself?
What enemy is too strong?
Yuehe Tari knew that it was a trap, but he dared to go to the meeting because of a clue. But now, the revenge of killing the teacher is in front of him, and the catastrophe of the entire rivers and lakes is in front of him, but he is indifferent.
It's so abnormal.
The two walked side by side, and Chen Hui didn't speak, his expression was indifferent, as if usual.
The scholar sighed, as if he had sighed off all the autumn leaves, and said, "Speak." ”
Chen Hui asked puzzledly, "What do you want me to say?" ”
The scholar said, "It's just the two of us at the moment, do you think it's interesting?" ”
Chen Hui was still puzzled and asked, "But sir, didn't you ask me out for a walk?" It's a pity that there is no moonlight tonight, so it's good to be idle once in a while. ”
The scholar said in his heart that he wanted to pretend to be stupid to the end.
"You're afraid they'll die. What about yourself? ”
Chenhui stopped.
He stood still and looked at the scholar for a long time.
……
"Heh, what the hell is sir." After a long time, Chen Hui held back such a sentence.
The scholar said, "I know you too well. I will never forget what happened in the summer. ”
"The reason why you first entered the world is to find your master. That's how the inn came in, the cook, and then all the people who followed. ”
"Hmm."
Chen Hui naturally would not deny this, and he also guessed the scholar's words, but he didn't know why, he looked at this wise man, and suddenly he couldn't speak.
"Each of us has our own destiny, and in that conversation, we all said that when our respective missions are over, we will eventually be willing to return to the inn. You also said that you were against your will and wanted to live with everyone. The scholar turned his back to Chenhui, and the speed of his speech gradually became a little faster.
"Hmm." Chen replied lightly.
"So what is your own life, shopkeeper? What is something you must do as well? The scholar turned around and stared at Chen Hui and asked.
Chen Hui smiled bitterly, dealing with such a smart person is really troublesome, and he is always seen through and thought.
Chenhui is always very honest.
"I want to find out the whereabouts of my master, and even if I can't find him, at least avenge him."
"So why do you say you want to give up revenge today?"
“……”
"If this person is the murderer, then no matter how strong he is, he must die at your hands." The scholar said.
Chen Hui nodded, but shook his head again, and he said softly, "Sir, people change. ”
"But you haven't changed. Shopkeeper, this is your revenge battle, and we all want to do something for you. The scholar said.
Chen Hui suddenly asked a question.
"Do we all have the courage to die for each other, so we must prove this courage?"
The scholar was stunned for a moment, and said disdainfully: "Such a thing, the mind will always convey that the major events of life and death, where can such a rash and hasty decision." ”
"In that case, sir, I want to say that I have already felt the intentions of you and the cook, Runtang, and Axiu Liuli. Your kindness and courage have been reached. So...... Let's let go of revenge. ”
The scholar opened his mouth, but he didn't speak.
"Sir, people change, and so do I. Finding out the whereabouts of my master used to be the most important thing for me, but now, keeping the people in the inn alive, living until everyone has fulfilled their mission, and living until the best time of my life is what I want to do. ”
Chen Hui's smile was so similar to Mingliang that when he laughed, it was difficult for the scholar to use that reprimanding tone to him.
"So revenge, let's not take revenge."
There is the heaviest consciousness in an incomparably light sentence. The scholar thought he understood, but at least at this time, he didn't understand the real intentions of the shopkeeper.
"It is precisely because I know too well the strength of the master, and it is precisely because I have fought too many strong enemies that I understand what the strength of those people in the depths of the rivers and lakes should be. If Senior Ning wants to deal with the inn, maybe the means are much simpler than Xiao Qianye, and he only needs one person to defeat us. ”
"If General Xiang Wu hadn't left his hand that day, then how could we survive under the unloading of the hundred divisions?"
"There are a lot of people in this world who are too powerful, some of them I ask myself to be able to deal with, and some of them I ask myself to be able to deal with with the power of my inn. So for the sake of morality in my heart and for the sake of seeking justice, I will take care of some things. Or rather, I just can't do it. ”
"But this time...... It's not the same. This is an opponent that my master has never defeated, and this is an existence that can easily defeat a strong person with the same strength as Ning's predecessors. To me, to the Inn, he would be our enemy, but at least, now is not the time to deal with him. As early as when the rumors of the Dragon Vein Martial Artist appeared, I was thinking about this question, although at that time it was not known whether he was related to the death of the master, but if the legend really existed, then these people should be the closest to the strength of the master. ”
"It is precisely because of this that you challenged Ning Wuxie?" The scholar asked.
"That's right, part of the reason I challenged Senior Ning was because I wanted to know how far I was from the most powerful force in this world. And Senior Ning is no longer the strongest person, and the strength of that strongest person is far above him. But even Senior Ning, I can't surpass it in a short time, it is an absolutely undoubted strength, and I have no way to deal with such a strength. Because I understood the terrible strength of the enemy, I had to give up revenge. ”
Chen Hui raised his head and looked at the moonless night sky, and he said, "Sir, if you take the lives of everyone in the inn because of revenge, I will never be able to forgive myself." ”
In place of the scholar's answer, there was only a wordless autumn wind.
After a long time, the scholar suddenly said: "I'm tired of seeing the scenery of Nanban, and the night is like this, it's really boring and boring." ”
Chen Hui smiled and said, "Everything will have to be decided by Mr. in the future." ”
The bull's head is not in the horse's mouth, but the conversation between the two can continue.
"I'm going to convince them, and I'm going to make Akath understand what's at stake. Don't worry, Sect Master Chen won't know about this matter. If one day she finds out, it will only be you who tell him personally. The scholar said.
Chen Hui nodded.
"The inn has you, it's really worry-free."
"Even if we don't directly face that Dragon Vein Martial Artist, even if you can let go of revenge for them, but if everything is true, there will be a great catastrophe in the martial arts, I really don't believe that you will not make a move, even if you don't deal with that person, at least you will do your best." The scholar's tone was a little helpless.
Chen Hui said: "Let's take a step and see a step." ”
The two walked back and forth, but neither of them spoke on the way back.
The scholar lamented the difficulty of the shopkeeper and planned how to explain it to everyone.
Chen Hui, on the other hand, was thinking about something else.
This time, this honest shopkeeper deceived the smart man after all.
