Chapter 391: Greed
He Taichong is dead. Chen Xing finally didn't have to be in such a hurry. Therefore, on the journey back to the Central Plains from the Western Regions, Chen Xing took Zhou Zhiruo for half a month.
After spending the Han River and traveling for another day, it has reached the boundary of Shiyan.
In a certain town at the foot of Wudang Mountain, Chen Xing met Chen Youliang and Liu Ao who were waiting there early.
"Tell me about it, after I'm gone. Has Elder Li ever looked for you?"
Chen Xing put the dragon slaying knife on the table, took a cup of hot tea, and said while tasting it.
Chen Youliang stood aside with his hands down, looked around on the dragon slaying knife, and then looked at Zhou Zhiruo, who had a dusty face but did not hide his beauty, and said, "Elder Chen, Elder Li has not looked for me...... However, some disciples reported that they had met Elder Li in the area south of Shenshui...... After asking him for some news and some supplies, the other party left in a hurry. ”
"Shen Shui...... Hmm, I see. Chen Xing's eyes swept away, and he knew that Chen Youliang was not lying.
People like Chen Youliang will never die for a person. The threat to his life, or the drive for profit, will easily make him betray anyone.
Chen Xing understood this, and Li Mu naturally knew it too.
Therefore, Li Mu had no intention of using the power of the beggar gang at all. Because he knew that if he used the power of the beggars, it would be tantamount to exposing his whereabouts. At this time, hiding in the shadows was his only advantage, and it was impossible for him to give up his only advantage.
"So what's the news on the rivers and lakes lately?"
Chen Youliang glanced at the Dragon Slayer Knife again, and finally couldn't help it, and asked cautiously, "Elder Chen, this knife in your hand is ......?"
Chen Xing nodded: "That's right, this is the Dragon Slaying Knife." ”
Chen Youliang gasped and said, "The Dragon Slaying Treasure Knife has disappeared from the rivers and lakes for twenty years since it was taken away by the Golden Retriever Lion King Xie Xun. In recent days, there have been frequent turmoil in the rivers and lakes. First, there were six major sects besieging Guangmingding, and the imperial court detained the masters of the six major sects in Wan'an Temple......
Then, just some time ago, the abbot of Shaolin Temple Tianming was said to have been killed by a demon who practiced demon magic in the Daxiong Treasure Palace; the heir of the head of the Emei faction was abducted by a mysterious person armed with a dragon slaying knife; and the head of the Kunlun faction, Mr. Tieqin and his wife, were also killed by this mysterious person. ”
Chen Youliang's tone trembled a little: "These things, you won't do all these things, right?"
Chen Xing blew the tea and said lightly: "What you said are all things I know, is there anything I don't know?"
Chen Youliang took a deep breath, and his judgment was already affirmed in his heart.
Although he had a very high evaluation of Chen Xing's danger in his heart, he didn't expect it to be far beyond his expectations.
Breaking into the three major sects in a bleak manner, killing the head of the sect alive and then retreating with his whole body in front of almost everyone's nose! What kind of kung fu and what kind of force does this take to achieve such a degree!
Chen Youliang lowered his head and said, "After you and Elder Li went to sea, there was no news from the Demon Sect Advocate Wuji, who was in the limelight some time ago.
Among the six major sects, except for Zhang Zhenren of the Wudang faction, the heads of the other five factions all died in less than a year. Coupled with the appearance of the dragon slaying treasure knife, there are rumors on the rivers and lakes now, all saying that it is 'slaying the dragon out, the world is chaotic', and some people will dominate the rivers and lakes, and people are panicking.
At the same time, everyone's eyes are now focused on Wudang's side, wanting to see if the real person in Wudang will also ......"
Chen Youliang said, lowered his voice a little, and asked carefully: "Elder Li, you came to Wudang this time, should you do something to Zhang Zhenren?"
"That's not what you should be concerned about. ”
Chen Xing put down the teacup in his hand: "I want to take a bath first, you go and prepare a table to eat, and then send someone to send a letter to Wudang Mountain, and find a Taoist priest named Zhiji to pass on a message." Tell him I'm here and invite him over for a while...... Keep a low profile, it's best not to let the people of Wudang find out. ”
Chen Youliang replied and was about to go down, but Chen Xing said: "In addition, take Miss Zhou to take a bath and change into clean clothes, it is also a crime to run around with me these days...... Of course, if she wants to escape, then take her and take off her clothes and go to the street to exhibit and bring it back. ”
Chen Youliang nodded yes. said to Zhou Zhiruo: "Miss Zhou, please!"
Zhou Zhiruo's body trembled, stood up and followed Chen Youliang.
Seeing the two leave, Chen Xing took off his clothes, walked into the wooden barrel behind the screen, soaked his body in clean hot water, and closed his eyes.
Chen Xing thought about the things that had happened these days, and always felt that he seemed to have something missing, but now the heads of the six major sects were all dead, except for Zhang Sanfeng and Zhou Zhiruo. Zhang Sanfeng is now on the Wudang Mountain next to him, and Zhou Zhiruo is in his hands.
Li Mu now only has five thousand points from the Heavenly Sword. If he wants to save his life, there is only one choice, Zhang Sanfeng. Next, as long as you look at Zhang Sanfeng, once Li Mu dares to show up, he will be greeted by a joint attack between him and Zhiji.
After killing Li Mu, Chen Xing will be able to obtain the Heavenly Sword, and the combined attack of the sword will be able to obtain the "Nine Yin True Scripture", which is known as an encyclopedia of martial arts, and the "Eighteen Palms of the Descending Dragon", which is the world's first fierce palm.
As for the "Wu Mu Testament" hidden in the dragon slaying knife, it was the same as the "Medical Scripture" and "Poison Sutra" that Chen Xing got with when he got the "Jiuyang True Scripture", which was an unexpected gain.
Wanting to get the "Nine Yin True Scripture" and "Eighteen Palms of the Descending Dragon" is also the reason why Chen Xing took great pains to run all over the entire Huaxia Continent, and then waited for the rabbit with Wudang. Otherwise, he could have asked Zhiji to kill Summit right now, end the scene, and let Li Mu be directly wiped out by the will of the earth because of the lack of points.
In the end, it's all because of a greedy desire.
Because of his greed, Li Mu failed to calculate Chen Xing, and now he is like a lost dog.
Because of his greed, Summit could have chosen to kill Shi Gaofei, who was incapacitated, on the Ice and Fire Island, but he did not do so, but was captured by Chen Xing in order to seize the "Jiuyang True Scripture" and "The Great Shift of Qiankun".
Chen Xing now not only wanted to kill Li Mu, but also wanted to get the Heavenly Sword on the latter's body. It's also because of greed.
But he didn't think there was anything wrong with greed...... The reason why man is superior to other animals is that he has more and more complex desires besides eating, drinking, and reproducing.
In a way, desire can even be called a catalyst for human progress.
So Chen Xing never denied his greed...... It's not about being greedy for stability or embezzling power and money. It's the covetousness of power, the covetousness of power, the covetousness of the evolution of life.
Of course, Li Mu may also be reluctant to appear because he sees through Chen Xing's purpose. Chen Xing will not wait endlessly.
Once Li Mu does not appear for a period of time, Chen Xing will instruct Chen Youliang to let the beggars help the disciples take a walk all over the world. Needless to say, it only needs to give Li Mu a deadline, if he still doesn't show up, then Chen Xing will simply give up the "Nine Yin True Scripture", and directly let Zhiji kill Summit, end the scene, and let Li Mu be wiped out by the will of the earth!
Although he also has greed, he will never let greed blind his mind, this is the difference between Chen Xing and Li Mu and Summit.
After carefully going through all the details in my mind from beginning to end, I felt that nothing was missing. Chen Xing stood up, changed into clean clothes and came to the dining room of the house, and saw that a sumptuous meal had been prepared on the table, and Zhou Zhiruo and Chen Youliang had been waiting there for a long time.
Chen Xing's eyes lit up when he saw Zhou Zhiruo.
These days, Zhou Zhiruo has followed him to eat and sleep in the open, but she does not have the same strong physique as him. I have suffered a lot and suffered a lot of sins along the way. But this woman was stubborn and never screamed, and silently gritted her teeth to endure. Even her originally clean and beautiful, sober and pretty face was covered with dust and dust because of the dust, and she looked embarrassed.
Now after washing and bathing, I will see again, although the person is thinner than when he was on the top of the light, but he really deserves to be written by Jin Yong as a fairy-like character of "light, clear, elegant, spiritual, beautiful, and fairy". Even if the face is like frost, it is still Qinghua Fangfei, beautiful and vulgar, and there is a clear spirit between gestures.
