Book 13, Chapter 170
He Yu suddenly fell into a dilemma. If the lock lamp is allowed to break according to what the old man said, the dragon veins will be displaced, causing dislocation between the plots, causing earthquakes and tsunamis, then the land will be reorganized, the mountains will be razed to the ground, and the mountains and rivers will be born on the flat land, and how many natural and man-made disasters will be caused, and the lives will be ruined.
The consequence will be a large-scale invasion of the demon clan by the human world, and the two clans will continue to fight, with gunsmoke everywhere, countless casualties, and rivers of blood on the earth. In other words, even if He Yu managed to get the tear grass and repair the lock lamp, would the human world really give up and give up this battle with the demon clan?
What should he do? He Yu stood still, his face full of pain, unable to choose.
The old man seemed to be unbearable, sighed slightly, and suddenly his eyes turned, revealing a strange gaze, and said forcefully: "Kid remember, the road is supreme, good and evil, good and evil, just by one thought." Just let the old decay give you a layer. With that, he pressed his heel against the dark grid, which sunken inward, revealing a fist-sized bracelet. He moved the heavy iron chain on his feet, and the tips of his toes flexibly hooked the bracelet and pulled it outward, and the wall on the right was dusty, and the sound of earth and stones extended a stone staircase from the bottom up. After the opening and closing of the kaka on the ceiling at the top of the stone steps, a square opening appeared leading to the upper floor.
The old man looked up at the stone steps: "Go! I should also let the world know what the sacred and inviolable Xuantian Treasure Lock Lamp looks like in your hearts? I should also let you see what the righteous avenue you respect is? Just like their hypocritical faces, what they teach you by words and deeds is nothing more than the lust for profit under some hypocrisy. Haha..."
As he spoke, the old man burst out laughing to himself. He Yu listened to what the old man said, looked at the other party's crazy laughter, and felt inexplicable for a while, not understanding what the other party wanted to tell him?
However, He Yu faced the stone steps in front of him and couldn't take a step. He Yu laughed a little, he worked hard all the way, and when he really got to the stall, he had the urge to retreat and want to give up.
The old man suppressed his smile, and said in a tone of sadness and reminiscence: "It's hard to choose! Gains and losses are already on an unequal scale, where in the world can there be so much absoluteness and fairness, let alone the best of both worlds." All living beings are in Vientiane, and the Tao is born from the heart. When you want to gain something, you will lose something at the same time, and this is the supreme law of the world. If you figure it out, your heart will stop and you will be able to reach another level. If you can't figure it out, then you'll always stay at this dead end and stop moving. ”
He Yu's gaze gradually tightened as the old man's words gradually tightened, and he suddenly gave birth to a protest, and replied stubbornly and stubbornly: "I understand what the predecessor said. But I don't want to lose anything, so what!"
The old man snorted coldly: "Then you will be destined to live harder than anyone else in your life." ”
"It's hard enough. He Yu lowered his head and smiled bitterly, raised his head, looked at the end of the stone steps, and laughed at himself: "Why are you afraid of adding more pain." With that, he walked up the stone steps with great difficulty.
The old man watched He Yu go up to the ninth floor, and the square opening on the top of the stone steps quickly closed, and the stone steps contracted and merged with the wall, leaving no trace. All of a sudden, there was a dead silence again.
The old man turned his head and looked at the empty place, which was calm as if no one had come. What no one expected was that immediately after that, he ushered in another famous figure, the head of Luo Yanfeng, who he disdained to call.
"Yo, isn't this Wen Yan'er? I haven't seen you for a long time, why do you miss me, and you came to see me today?"
"I haven't seen you for a long time, and my senior brother still looks cynical. Recently, I have been busy with more things, so I will naturally come less often, and I hope that my senior brother will not be angry. Wen Yan said politely, and then asked seriously: "I don't know if Senior Brother has found any suspicious characters rushing into the Demon Tower?" Wen Yan's head was full of green silk and a few strands of white hair, and he was much thinner than the last time. Judging from Wen Yan's politeness to the old man, it can be seen that Wen Yan respects the old man in front of him very much.
The old man didn't think about it, and replied: "No, you don't want to think about it, if someone really trespasses, how can you pass my pass?" He pretended to be relaxed, glared at him and said: "Also, who is your senior brother? You are the head of the Ye Jian Sect, the head of the four major gates, if you call me like this, I am afraid that your identity will be broken, and I can't afford it!"
"Although you and I are not from the same teacher, but from the same lineage, call you a senior brother, you should naturally bear it. "Fang is down today, I'm afraid that the head of the dignified Ye Jianmen will only be so low-voiced in front of him!
"Bah!" the old man spat angrily. Fortunately, the head of Ye Jianmen was a little far away, otherwise he would not have been humiliated in the face.
The old man said unceremoniously: "The world says that you Ye Jianmen is a master of the first line, and the ancestors of Wen Ye are worshiped after Wen Ye's death, and the incense is continuous, but no one knows that I am the ancestor of Wen Zhen." I think back then, my ancestor Wenzhen and your ancestor Wenye were instructed by the master to go deep into the Changhai Sea together to find the long-missing Xuantian magic weapon lock lamp, and discuss the establishment of a monastic sect together after returning. Later, the people came back, but only one Wen Ye came back, and what about my ancestor Wen Zhen? It is said that he died in the depths of the Long Sea. ”
"I don't understand, two people who are like brothers go into the sea together, one returns unharmed, and the other is buried deep in the sea? How can there be such a coincidence in the world?" The old man squinted his eyes full of hatred and said: "I will never forget that old guy in Wen Ye holding the lock lamp, that hypocritical and proud look." ”
Wen Yan couldn't help but interrupt him, and said, "Senior brother, you have misunderstood Patriarch Wen Ye, I have already explained the matter to you very clearly, why do you want to be stubborn?"
"Is it because I am stubborn, or do you have something else hidden?" The old man turned his head and scolded Wen Yan angrily: "If it weren't for your ancestor's uneasiness, he would have taken over my ancestor's funeral and my ancestor's disciples in front of everyone with a pretended mercy?" If it wasn't for his uneasiness, why did he occupy an area of land shortly after my ancestor's funeral, build a demon tower on my ancestor's Luoyan Peak, and founded the Ye Jian sect. If it weren't for his uneasiness, why would he care about my big words and imprison me on this demon ???tower without saying a word because I was in his sect and everyone was rejoicing, and you said!"
"This..."Wen Yan hesitated slightly: "The master has his own reasons for doing this, and there is no need to explain to us apprentices and grandchildren." But my ancestor lived a bright and upright life, cared about the common people, and benefited the people, these are all facts, and they are by no means something that you can slander. ”
"Strong words. The old man was excited to rush over and wanted to fight with Wen Yan, but his hands and feet were bound by thick iron chains, and he couldn't move, so he could only roar: "That's just that Wen Ye's old guy was ashamed in his heart and did it for you people who don't know the truth." You must know that he has confused everyone in the world, including the other disciples of the master's sect, but he can't confuse me. It's just me, and only I know what he really is. ”
He pulled his throat strongly, dragging the chains and rattling, he twisted his face, his big eyes were filled with incomparable excitement and hatred: "To put it bluntly, he is nothing more than coveting the abundant aura on our Luoyan Peak, after harming my ancestor, after he came back alone with the treasure lock lantern, it was not good to come and grab it clearly, so he arranged it, and found a person who was entrusted by my ancestor Wen Zhen to take over his door before his death as an excuse, so he forcibly occupied Luoyan Peak in a fair and honest manner, so that he could build the Demon Tower and create a Ye Jian Sect!"
Wen Yan seemed to be accustomed to the other party's crazy words for many years, and said very calmly: "Senior brother, if you are more comfortable like this, junior brother will be fine with you." After all, since Master Wen Ye took over Master Wen Zhen's disciples, we have been the same family, regardless of each other. In addition, when Master Wen Ye was dying, he once explained to me, although you are sometimes clear and sometimes crazy, it is really helpless to imprison you here, but I can't snub you. ”
"Nonsense, what do you mean that I am sometimes crazy and sometimes clear, you explain it to me, explain it clearly. The second child dragged the chain, gritted his teeth and rushed towards Wen Yan with resentment, driving the chain to make a heavy sound. He couldn't break free, and was pulled back by the chain.
In his anger, the old man accused Wen Yan and said: "You just saw that I poured out the truth, and you were afraid of ruining the reputation that you have worked so hard to build, so you imprisoned me here, and full of benevolence and morality, claiming to the outside world that I could not be beaten, and accepted the sudden death of my teacher, and I was delirious and spoke madly." Bah, it's all hypocrisy!"
"Senior brother, if you have to go your own way, you don't want to face the facts, and Wen Yan has no choice. Wen Yan still has something to do, so I won't talk to my senior brother here today. After that, Wen Yan's fingertips moved, and the dark grid was inward, and he wanted to pull the bracelet in the air, but the old man suddenly crossed the dark grid with his feet: "If you want to go up, it's not so easy." ”
Wen Yan looked majestic and said, "Senior brother, don't forget, you still have a soul thirst Gu in your body, if you stop me again, I will really be welcome." ”
At first glance, the old man's face changed, and he retracted his feet in fear.
Wen Yan pulled the bracelet one after another, and after the sound of Kaka, the wall was the same as just now, and a stone step appeared, and the position of the stone step to link the ceiling appeared.
The old man watched Wen Yan step on the stone steps, and snorted coldly: "Wen Yan Lao'er, you can also come forward, but I hope you don't regret it!"
Wen Yanquan thought that this was another crazy sentence from the old man, and ignored it, and strode up.
