Chapter 38: Confucianism and the Maiden
"Senior brother, do you think he can hold on?"
On the stone stele at the north gate of Ning'an Town, there are two shadows.
A man and a woman, the middle-aged appearance of the man, dressed as an elegant scribe, elegant and calm, but with the color of wind and dust. The posture of the woman's young age, the transparent white sand lightly wraps the face, the eyes are shining, the eyebrows are picturesque, and she is dressed in white.
Confucian Sheng carried his hands behind his back, but his face was gloomy, and when he heard the soft voice of the girl in his ear, he replied lightly: "Yes!"
However, Li Xiangru was injured in the previous fight with Fang Wantian, and his continuous running and killing also made his spirit and spirit disperse. Now facing Liu Changping of the Tsing Yi Gang......" The young man frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said: "This Liu Changping was born in the army, and he entered the Tao with martial arts, and his strength is afraid that he is not under Fang Wantian, right?"
Hearing this, Confucian glanced back at the girl slightly, and said slowly: "Liu Changping's cultivation is above Fang Wantian, but if he fights against Li Xiangru, life and death are unknown." Defeating a person sometimes depends not only on the level of cultivation. Liu Changping's knife came from the battlefield, and Li Xiangru also escaped from death on the battlefield. In terms of experience and force, Li Xiangru is not necessarily inferior to him. ”
Confucian pondered for a moment and then analyzed: "Liu Changping is comfortable in this Ning'an Town, and he has a family and children. A person who has a concern in his heart is often not willing to fight hard in the fight. Besides, Liu Changping's heart is not necessarily dead to Gu Daoming. He knew that Gu Daoming was narrow-minded and a hypocritical villain. Moreover, he couldn't fight for his life with Li Xiangru. ”
The girl smiled when she heard this, and quipped: "The senior brother who has always been a gentle and polite Confucian disciple also has a time to describe people like this......"
Confucius sighed, didn't refute, just lowered his head, and said a little sadly: "Even if I am a clay man, I have three points of anger." The old man Deng in the wine shop has the grace of teaching me a profession, although he has not always refused to recognize me as his disciple, but I still recognize him as a master. He was in trouble, but I didn't have time to help...... I'm ashamed......"
The girl closed her mouth, approached Confucius gently, grabbed the sleeves of Confucian with both hands, looked at him with caring eyes, and said softly: "Senior brother......"
She couldn't say a word of comfort, they all knew that Senior Brother Boren had studied runes under Old Man Deng, and they only knew that Old Man Deng was a great great rune master and a good friend of his mentor Chen Qingfeng. At the beginning, the senior brother was deeply affected by the sorcerer Gu in the northwest, and the master was helpless to find the old man Deng, and the old man Deng healed him, and after the senior brother recovered, he was driven by the master to rest with the old man Deng for a period of time. In fact, among their disciples, they only have a one-sided relationship with Old Man Deng. The master rarely mentioned the identity of Old Man Deng in front of them. Old man Deng is half of the master's master, and he is a person with real skills, and he is more worthy of their respect.
Confucian raised his head and smiled bitterly at the woman: "Master Deng, in order to resolve the poison in my body, most of his cultivation was spent on me, so his cultivation has decreased dramatically, and his mood is broken. After half a year at his old man's house, he drove me away, saying that I would never go to him again. Now, I can't even protect him. Alas......"
"Senior brother......" The woman was interrupted by a gentle wave of Boren's hand as soon as she shouted.
"Master Deng asked me to take care of this third lady of the Tsing Yi Gang, even if it was to repay his love for teaching skills. So, let's try our best to help this third lady, let her grow up slowly, if she wants to learn the art of runes, I will also teach her Master Deng to teach me, if she wants to learn swordsmanship, I will also teach her. Boren said slowly, turning his gaze to Li Xiangru, who was fighting fiercely with Liu Changping on the eaves.
The woman nodded, said no more, and then shifted her gaze to two parts of the fight.
Li Xiangru won, relying on his invincible Baipi knife and ruthless desperate momentum to see death as if he were at home, he cut Liu Changping's two wrists, hurting the meridians.
Liu Changping hung his hands trembling slightly, and the blood on his wrists ticked into the rubble of the eaves. He looked at Li Xiangru with a complicated expression, but there was no hatred in his eyes.
"It turns out that you are a soldier of the Burning City Road family. Liu Changping asked and looked at the ground.
Li Xiangru stood straight and did not talk. In the battle, he could feel that when he used the sword technique in the formation of the Lu family's army, Liu Changping had some spare hand. Does it mean that Liu Changping still has some connections with Lu Jiajun. He thought for a moment and replied, "Yes!"
After Liu Changping got the answer, he smiled with satisfaction and said, "Very good! Lu Jiajun has never been a bad seed! They are all good!"
Liu Changping stopped the remaining old guys around him from rushing over to fight, glanced at them coldly, and said, "You are not his opponent, but you are just giving your lives in vain." ”
The people around him calmed down when they heard this, and slowly gathered their offensive momentum towards Liu Changping's side.
Liu Changping glanced at Gu Daoming, who was surrounded by everyone below and shouting and thundering, and let out a cold snort, he still despised this young gang leader in his heart. The Tsing Yi Gang dispatched the helmsman of the six lanes, and nearly 1,000 people pursued Huang Xiaowei, but they still did not take Huang Xiaowei within the benefit time, which is enough to show that Gu Daoming's general trend has gone. He also knows that the failure to take Huang Xiaowei so far is also because many helmsmen and gangsters are dissatisfied with Gu Daoming and deliberately delayed mercilessly. A few days ago, he added another son to his family. Years of fighting in the military formation and fighting in the Tsing Yi Gang over the years have long made him tired of this life. He is already old, and he himself knows that when he has a concern in his heart, he will no longer sacrifice his life to fight with others, let alone this kind of infighting in the rivers and lakes?
Liu Changping glanced back at Li Xiangru, turned his head to a few brothers around him and said, "Go first!"
Those are his confidant brothers, who have always obeyed him only and habitually obeyed his orders. Despite his hesitation, he still jumped off the eaves.
Li Xiangru looked at him quietly, and after a long time, he apologized and said slightly embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I don't dare to keep my hand!"
"Haha......" Liu Changping laughed, shook his head and said: "Lu Jiajun, there is finally a capable and backbone person, I am very happy for my brother who died in battle! I don't blame you." ”
After a slight mutter, he turned his gaze to the third lady, and muttered to himself: "The thousand knives at the bottom are more difficult than me, he is good at using two scimitars, and the flesh and skin where he was cut are not able to fly to the bone, and the third miss is afraid that he is not his opponent." Be careful yourself!"
After speaking, he glanced at Li Xiangru deeply, then jumped off the eaves and disappeared.
Li Xiangru nodded lightly to show his gratitude, watched Liu Changping go, did not ask who his brother was, and if he didn't want to say it, he didn't ask. He glanced at the situation on the ground, the third lady was in danger by the two scimitars called the thousand knives, the goose-yellow lichen skirt had been scraped and ragged, the white and tender skin on the arms and legs was already visible, and the surrounding onlookers helped the crowd laugh frivolously, and kept pointing and pointing foul language.
Huang Xiaowei, who was humiliated, showed anger on his face, but he was more helpless. Her injuries had not healed, and she had been exhausted from the previous fights.
Huang Xiaowei's silver teeth bit lightly, she knew that Gu Daoming wanted to capture her alive, so she no longer had scruples. Swinging the sword and rushing straight towards the torture thousand knives, in a desperate few sword moves, let the punishment thousand knives be vigilant, and suddenly changed the way of the sword and killed to the left. The few people who laughed the most were frightened by the sudden sword, and they wanted to dodge but it was too late, and they fell to the ground unwillingly with a red line in their throats.
Xing Qiandao was stunned for a moment, and his face became gloomy. He looked at Gu Daoming inquiringly, but saw Gu Daoming shaking his head slightly. Obviously, Gu Daoming still wants to be captured alive.
In order to capture the third lady alive, many of his brothers have died. But he still didn't dare to disobey Gu Daoming's order.
Huang Xiaowei put away his sword and stood, responding to the torture with a cold gaze.
"Third Miss, you know, you are not my opponent. It's better to catch it quickly, the young gang leader is unwilling to kill you because he cares about the feelings of his brothers and sisters, but you have already killed and injured many disciples of my Tsing Yi Gang. Xing Qiandao said coldly, "If you resist again, don't blame Xing for being unkind!"
Huang Xiaowei sneered, "Noise!" After the two words, he rushed forward again with a fighting posture.
Xing Qiandao is the helmsman of the torture hall, and he is very good at torturing people, as long as he interrogates him, there is no one who does not open his mouth. For he had two thin scimitars, and under the scimitars they separated flesh and skin, and the skin was as painful as the torture of purgatory.
She knew that she was no match for a thousand knives, but she would not allow herself to be humiliated like this, even if it was not good, it would be suicide. She is the third lady of the Tsing Yi Gang, so she should naturally have her dignity.
....................................
"After all, she is a person who has not cultivated, but the third lady is really good, and she has a stubbornness. The girl on the ground above the stele couldn't help but praise, but she also had a look of doubt, and turned to look at Boren and asked, "Senior brother, don't you really need us to help?" I'm afraid that the third young lady won't be able to support it for long. ”
Boren turned his head to look in the direction of the east, shook his head lightly, and said, "No. The way of cultivation in the world needs to be down-to-earth and step by step. Whether it is Li Xiangru or the third lady who has not yet started, they should all go through this. Li Xiangru killed more than thirty people in the alley before, and his heart was already shaken, but fortunately, he stopped the killing heart in time and returned to his sanity. This is still beneficial to his cultivation path. Cultivation is more important to cultivate the mind, and the cultivation of the mind is ethereal, there are paths in all directions, and the way to the saint or purgatory is chosen by oneself, and outsiders can only add and guide but cannot teach. ”
"Master said that Li Xiang is such a person, so let's try to protect him as much as possible, but don't interfere too much. Now, if he can handle it, we don't have to meddle. Let's go, let's go and see how the third junior brother is doing over there. Boren then said coldly: "The people from the side door and the aisle came to my capital to make a mess, do you really think that the master will dare to be so arrogant as soon as he leaves? ”
"Oh...... Okay!" The girl replied softly and fell behind the Confucian scholar. After the Confucian leap, his hand shook, and a bead fell into the palm of his hand, and the bead was shot out imperceptibly.
Confucian Sheng's expression moved slightly, but he didn't say anything more.
The girl stuck out her tongue lightly, naughty and cute, and the reaction of the senior brother should have been that he knew that he had helped the third lady. She just couldn't bear to let the third lady be bullied by so many bad people, and the senior brother didn't let her go down to help, so she had to make this decision.
The girl was stunned for a moment, and the Confucian scholar had already stepped out of five or six feet, so she shouted: "Senior brother, wait for me." After saying that, he used his body to chase after him.
