In the dimly lit room, the two fell silent.

From time to time, there was the crunch sound of charcoal crackling in the burning fire, and the kettle on the stove was still steaming......

After a long time, Jing Bai sighed and said, "Someone always has to do things. ”

"Can you finish the kill?" Wen Shuo sneered.

"Why do you want to finish killing?" Jing Bai lay down on his back, looking at the wooden beams on the dim roof and the rows of neat rafters, as if he was a little tired, and said in an indifferent tone: "It's like society is always catching criminals and sentencing, but there are always bad people committing crimes...... Is it because it is difficult to get rid of evil that we will no longer remove evil?"

Wen Shuo froze, and said with a wry smile: "You are raising the bar, two different things." ”

"The same thing. Jing Bai waved his hand and said, "The effect of deterrence and warning is infinite. ”

"So......" Wen Shuo flicked the cigarette butt into the damper of the fire, and said with a smile: "Tang Quanbao is just unlucky? Hmm, it's not accurate to say that he is unlucky, it should be said that he is the first to be unlucky among the evildoers, well, the first to be punished?"

"So to speak. Jing Bai said calmly.

"What about later?"

"I'd love to be okay with the past, and I had to. Jing Bai said with a smile: "Can't you really treat all Xuanshi like Tangquanbao, and the past things have to be taken out to settle accounts, right? Then I will become the public enemy of the entire Xuanmen rivers and lakes, not to mention anything else, you and me, it seems that no one is clean." ”

Wen Shuo scratched his head and said, "This is probably shameless, right?"

"If you know your mistakes, you can change them, and you can do good. Jing Bai shamelessly exonerated himself: "Besides, you and I have not done great evil, and some of the taboo things we occasionally commit also belong to eliminating evil in the world, which is morally justified, right?"

"Uh-huh. Wen Shuo squinted his eyes and nodded busily.

Jing Bai pointed to the room facing him and said, "The conditions are simple, let's rest in that bedroom for the time being, it's my son's room." ”

"Forget it, I'll arrange it with Zhai Chuan'an. Wen Shuo looked at the room and said, "Jianghu Conference, how can you arrange so many people?"

"The people of the Zhai family, all the villagers in Wohuling, are happy to vacate their homes, as long as we give monetary compensation, they will not mind going to live with their neighbors and relatives for a few days. Jing Bai smiled and said, "The Zhai family's compound has enough courtyards and houses, which is the most suitable, what do you think?"

Wen Shuo nodded, and then asked, "Do you really plan to kill Tang Quanbao in public at the Jianghu Conference?"

"It's just a fight. Jing Bai said lightly.

"It's not appropriate, right?" Wen Shuo frowned and said, "After all, human life is at stake, and it is illegal to take people's lives in such a grand manner!"

Jing Bai was stunned, and then smiled: "At that time in Lin Yang, Qin Luofeng did not die in the cave on the spot. ”

"But he's still alive......"

Wen Shuo said this halfway, and then didn't say any more, looking at Jing Bai's crying and laughing expression, Wen Shuo was so angry that his teeth itched - damn, fat man, I am just too honest, honest and stupid to ask such a stupid question.

Fighting this thing, as long as you keep a little hand at the critical moment, you can prevent people from dying on the spot, but they will definitely die.

Just like Wen Shuo's original Yuan Shen who forcibly seized Qin Luofeng, he could easily kill Qin Luofeng on the spot.

Although the difference between the fighting method is a thousand miles away and you can't be distracted in the slightest, at the moment when the victory is finally determined, you can make the defeated opponent die violently, or go back and die in endless regret, fear and pain, it is a choice.

"What if you lose?" Wen Shuo pouted.

"How can I lose?" Jing Bai said with a smile: "With the strength of Tang Quanbao, in the magic array I carefully arranged, there is no possibility of even half a point of victory. ”

"So this is also the reason why you forced Tang Quanbao to participate in the conference to beg for death?" Wen Shuo said disdainfully.

"It's more than that. Jing Bai didn't seem to feel that his plan was shameless and despicable at all, and said calmly: "You often say that you are careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, and the battle of Zhonghai Pujia Town makes me deeply understand this, so it is ......not enough to prepare for this little bit of personal formation" As he spoke, Jing Bai stood up, walked to the table again, stood with his hands in his hands and looked at the paintings, and said: "I hold the Xuanmen Jianghu Conference, which is to stand on the commanding heights of morality, and the entire Jianghu is behind me, how can Tangquanbao win?"

Wen Shuo frowned and looked at Jing Bai, and suddenly felt a little timid in his heart.

The so-called old rivers and lakes are actually more cunning, treacherous, and vicious, right?

Jing Bai smiled and turned his head and said, "Of course, the most important thing is that there are you, Hong Shang, and Gong Yigua...... How could I lose?"

"Your uncle!"

The fat man, who has always prided himself on taking precautions and not leaking a drop of water, couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth - at this moment, he deeply understood the sentence "ginger is still old and spicy".

I'm still too young and too honest.

"If something really happens, I have to make a ......" The fat man sighed, and said with a slightly bitter expression: "Then I really, I have to expose my identity as a Xuanshi and really step into the rivers and lakes." ”

"Why do you have to live so tired?" Jing Bai smiled: "How long do you think you can hide your identity as a Xuanshi?"

Wen Shuo was stunned.

Jing Bai said: "It seems that hiding the identity of the Xuanshi has become a shackle set for yourself in your heart, if there were enough reasons before, then now, it is just a layer of shackles, you subconsciously want to hide it, you don't want to make it public...... In fact, how many mystics have you seen who are known in their lives as mysteries? Even if they are like me, such as Tangquanbao, and Gong Yihexagram, in the eyes of the world, they are just gods, feng shui masters, and fortune tellers. Therefore, your worries all the time have no practical significance, and it doesn't matter if the people know your identity as a Jianghu person. And the world, there is no need to deliberately conceal it, just need not to publicize it. ”

Wen Shuo was silent for a while, nodded and said sincerely, "Taught." ”

At this point, there was the sound of footsteps outside, and the two tacitly stopped the topic just now and looked at the door.

The door curtain was lifted, and Jing Dingxian, who was wearing a thick cotton coat with a slender figure and a handsome appearance, stepped in.

Seeing Wen Shuo sitting on the small bench, Jing Dingxian was stunned.

"Ahem. Jing Bai coughed lightly and said, "Wen Shuo, this is the dog Dingxian." Dingxian, this is ...... Well, it's Wen Shuo, it's my good friend, you should shout...... Uncle Wen. ”

"Don't, don't!" Wen Shuo hurriedly stopped and said with a smile: "You are an elder and a senior, if Dingxian calls my uncle, wouldn't it be a mess of seniority and a loss of my life." I'm just commensurate with Brother Dingxian. ”

Jing Bai smiled and nodded.

Jing Dingxian was a little surprised, and after carefully looking at Wen Shuo a few times in disbelief, he suddenly said in surprise: "Mr. Wen, you are Wen Shuo, the chairman of Shuoyuan Network Technology Training School, hey, you are actually my father's friend?"

Wen Shuo got up and took the initiative to take two steps forward with a smile and stretched out his right hand: "Just call me Wen Shuo, or call me Brother Shuo." ”

"Oops!" Jing Dingxian rubbed his hands on his clothes quite exaggeratedly, and then he held Wen Shuo with both hands, and his face flushed a little with excitement, "Mr. Wen, no, Brother Shuo, I didn't expect it...... Hey, many of my classmates often mention you, you are a role model for our younger generation of college students, yes, you are an idol!"

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be. Wen Shuo shook his head humbly.

Jing Bai smiled: "Come on, you young people have something to talk about, I will go to the Zhai family master to chat, it will not affect you." ”

With that, he got up and walked out.

Wen Shuo couldn't cry or laugh, and gritted his teeth in his heart—what is there to talk about with your son?

Belch......

Wen Shuo suddenly found that he was getting older and older now.

In addition to being able to chat nonsense with peers who are familiar with you, when you meet peers you don't know well, you subconsciously feel that the other party is too young, so you must be a little naïve, so ...... It's boring to talk about.

"Brother Shuo, how long have you known my dad?" Jing Dingxian asked with a flattering smile, turned to the table and opened the drawer, took out a soft pack of Chinese cigarettes, came over and handed Wen Shuo one, and helped him light it.

"Two or three years, right?" Wen Shuo smiled, "I remember that I met when I was a sophomore." ”

"He has very few friends. Jing Dingxian seemed to have a slight prejudice against his father, so he immediately diverted the topic and said, "Why did you come to this mountain too?"

"I'm idle and have nothing to do. Wen Shuo said casually.

Jing Dingxian thought about it, sighed lightly, drooped his eyelids and said, "Should you ...... It's a mystery, right?"

"Uh......" Wen Shuo was stunned and nodded, "Yes." ”

"Thank you for being honest with me, rest assured, I know confidentiality. Jing Dingxian pursed his lips and said in a slightly complaining tone: "When I was a child, I didn't know Xuanshi, I only knew that my father studied those messy Yin and Yang Five Elements and Kanyu techniques every day, and I wanted to learn it at that time, but he didn't let me learn it." Later, when I grew up, I realized that he was a real master and a mysticist, but my age was no longer suitable for cultivation, which was a pity. ”

Wen Shuo smiled and said, "Your father is wise and resourceful, and his mind is lofty, so he must have his thoughts, and he must be right. ”

Jing Dingxian was stunned, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Don't persuade me, I don't care about it for a long time, anyway, I like my major now, and since I was a child, my mother has been nagging my dad about all kinds of good things by my side every day, I ......"

It seemed that he suddenly didn't want to mention the affairs of his family, Jing Dingxian shook his head, and said instead: "Well, this year, I came to the mountains and was a little tired of playing for a while, so I will have fun by myself and teach lessons to the children in the village...... Brother Shuo, do you know? The children here are very pitiful, really pitiful. ”

"Huh?" Wen Shuo wondered, "Why?"
