Chapter XXIII Agreements
Suppress cultivation?
When he heard Mr. Shen say these words, the little carpenter's face, which was originally with a gentle smile, suddenly became serious and serious.
He looked at the head of the Evil Spirit Sect in front of him, and after a long while, he straightened up and said lightly, "Brother Shen, what do you mean by this?" ”
The little carpenter in front of him was talking and laughing with wine, like a low-profile little brother.
But the moment he straightened his body at this moment, there was an irrepressible brilliance on his whole body.
That momentum was as majestic as undulating mountains all of a sudden, even in front of the radiant Mr. Shen, he was not half inferior.
The heroes of the world, only the king and the ear!
This sentence, if it was just a joke between Mr. Shen and the little carpenter, then at this moment, it has become extremely realistic.
In this small pavilion on the shore of Daming Lake, the two people sitting and drinking are on an equal footing, and there is no distinction between high and low.
No one's momentum will be any point lower.
It's just that before, the little carpenter's posture was relatively low.
Seeing the sudden change in momentum and a completely different little carpenter, the smile on Mr. Shen's face became brighter and brighter, and then said: "It's not interesting, I just want to talk to you from the bottom of my heart—Brother Gan, I haven't met a young man as powerful as you for a long time...... Ah, no, the word 'young' should have been removed, maybe it would be more appropriate......"
The little carpenter said indifferently: "Brother Shen, you have praised it." ”
Mr. Shen seemed a little aggressive at the moment: "You still haven't answered me, how long have you suppressed your cultivation?" ”
The little carpenter said, "Is this important?" ”
Mr. Shen said: "Of course it's important, I want to know, who do you want to deal with if you suppress your cultivation and don't let others know, and even take great risks—if that person is me, then we have to have a good chat between us......"
The little carpenter replied almost immediately: "Not you." ”
When Mr. Shen heard this, he suddenly burst out laughing, and then raised his wine glass forward.
He's making a toast.
The little carpenter reached out and touched the cup gently.
Mr. Shen drank it all, then raised his eyes and said calmly: "So, that person is the demigod Liang Gong Yu, right?" ”
The little carpenter drank the wine from the cup, and then went over and took the copper kettle himself, poured warm wine into the cup, and then said slowly, "How do you know?" ”
The atmosphere between the two gradually eased down in this staggered cup.
Mr. Shen waited for the little carpenter to finish pouring the wine, took the initiative to take the copper kettle, poured it for himself, and then said: "This is not difficult to guess, your master Lu Da, I know it, if there are a few people in the world who are feared, then your master is one-your master went to Japan three years ago, and had a battle with the demigod Lianggong Yu, and then died in battle." No one else knows about this matter, and he is also unknown, but I know it, and I greatly admire and admire it...... It is the principle of heaven for the apprentice to avenge the master, so it is not difficult to guess ......"
The little carpenter shook his head and said, "I take the Lianggong Imperial as my opponent, not to avenge my master. ”
"Oh?"
Mr. Shen was a little surprised and asked, "How do you say this?" ”
The little carpenter did not speak any grandiose words, nor did he say anything lofty about international relations, but said very simply: "He is a mountain, and the highest mountain I have ever seen—how can I see more and farther if I have not crossed it?" ”
After hearing this, Mr. Shen was stunned for a moment, and then he threw the peanuts in his hand on the table, picked up the wine glass, and said: "Just this sentence, when the floating life is white!" ”
The two of them clinked glasses again, and once again poured them full.
At this time, the wine was really drunk, and Mr. Shen showed a rare sincere smile on his face, and said to the little carpenter: "It is said that it is green plum boiled wine, and the heroes of the world, just talking about the heroes of our Chinese land, will be teased for being short-sighted and have never seen the world - come, I will talk to you about the three of them, this time it is a ...... with an international vision."
The little carpenter patted the table and said, "I would like to hear about it." ”
Mr. Shen said: "When it comes to foreign countries, I will first mention one person - this person is a place called India in the south of our country, where there is a temple, and there is an ascetic monk named Mahatma Plando, who has never eaten meat, never drunk clean water, never slept on a soft couch, and never touched a woman...... He hadn't taken a bath since he was born, and he had been walking on the path of asceticism, and the last time I saw him, he was close to what Buddhism called the realm of the Buddha, who could give birth to a lotus in a dream, and had his own side of heaven and earth......"
"Another person, this person's name is the Prophet, a Western Christian priest, who is said to have served as the chief judge of the Inquisition, manipulated the selection of several generations of popes, and is the first big Buddha in the Western spiritual world."
"This last person is the Japanese demigod Suzunomiya - this person you should know, I won't talk much about his legend, but I can tell you this, China and Japan, today's national fortunes are reversed, he single-handedly overturned the ......"
After saying these three people, Mr. Shen patted the table and said solemnly: "These three people are the three mountains of the foreign cultivation world, if you see them, you must be careful." ”
The little carpenter was a little surprised when he heard Mr. Shen talk about international affairs.
After all, except for one Lianggong Yu, the other two, he had almost never heard of it.
However, in the mouth of Mr. Shen, they are so real.
The little carpenter nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Mr. Shen said: "Whether it is Mahatma Plando or the Prophet, these two people almost do not have any conflict of interest with us, so you may not see each other in this life; But that demigod Liang Gong Yu, since you regard him as an opponent, then you still have to be careful. ”
The little carpenter said, "This is nature. ”
Mr. Shen said very frankly: "Brother Gan, I'll give you a bottom, I came here this time, there are two goals, the first is Dong Xiwu, the dragon vein qi on this person's body, I am determined to win, and the other is Qingzhou Ding." I also booked this Shanhe Society before, and you can see how many people I have gathered to come over - before I met you, I was still sure of this idea, but now, I have changed my mind......"
The little carpenter raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, what idea? ”
Mr. Shen said: "I will fully support you to take that Qingzhou Ding, if that thing falls into the hands of others, I will definitely snatch it at all costs, but in your hands, not only will I not do it, but I will also do my best to help, so that you can digest it and use it for your own use." ”
The little carpenter was a little surprised and asked, "Why is that?" ”
Mr. Shen said: "Before that, I always thought that the candidate to pick the Emperor of Lianggong should be me, but after seeing you, I don't think so anymore - everyone has their own mission, and there are responsibilities that he can't escape." I've been dealing with one thing for the past two years, and then I realized that I don't have enough time, I still have a lot of things to do, and time doesn't allow me to fight against the Cool Palace, which is not in line with my ultimate goal. And you, I think you are the opponent of the fate of the Liang Palace, and before that, I will help you, so that you can reach the height that the old king has accumulated for eight hundred years......"
He said very calmly, without any concealment, and told the little carpenter directly: "I don't want to die yet, so you go." ”
But it was precisely because of Mr. Shen's honesty that the little carpenter couldn't resist at all.
This thing, as it should be, is like that.
The little carpenter couldn't help but ask Mr. Shen what his mission and responsibilities were.
Is it the current hegemony?
Mr. Shen smiled.
His gaze was deep, and when he looked at the little carpenter, it was as if he were looking at a child.
Only then did the little carpenter realize that Mr. Shen's eyes had a kind of old age and emotion beyond his age at the moment.
It was as if the years had passed on him, and too much time had passed.
Mr. Shen didn't answer the little carpenter's question, but talked about something else: "Brother Gan, you should have been to that place, right?" ”
When the little carpenter heard this, there was no change in the expression on his face, and he said calmly: "Which place?" ”
Mr. Shen said: "It's the place you think, the place you can't say......"
The little carpenter replied, "I don't know if the place I know is the same as the one you want to tell me—and if so, then I can give you a definite answer......"
He paused, nodded and said, "Yes, I've been." ”
The two of them spoke very detouringly, and if one of them listened, they would definitely look confused.
But both understood what the other meant.
Mr. Shen sighed, and then said: "Since you have been there, you should know that this world may not be as simple as we imagined; But if you can break through that place and go to the other end of the iris, you may be able to discover more truths, such as the thousands of years of holy war, the war between the gods and the extraterritorial heavenly demons that spans endless years...... And at that time, maybe we'll be able to see each other again......"
The little carpenter shook his head this time and said, "I don't understand. ”
Mr. Shen smiled and poured the remaining liquor from the jug into each other's wine glasses.
When the last drop fell, Mr. Shen put the copper kettle aside, and then raised the wine glass.
He said indifferently: "It's just raising Gu, it's useless to say." Alright, by the time you go to challenge the Lianggong Emperor, maybe I'll no longer be in this world—but that's not important, and let me pick up this glass of wine and see you off in advance, and wish you a triumphant return......"
Bang.
Two wine glasses, touching in one place.
The little carpenter tilted his head, drank the wine in one gulp, and then spoke, "Thank you." ”
