Chapter 28: The Price of Balance

Fu Yuan stopped talking nonsense, and with a dagger on his chest, he approached Shen Qingming. Shen Qingming's sword was close to one meter, holding the knife in both hands, and posing in an offensive posture like the RB samurai in the TV series.

Fu Yuan shouted loudly and made the first move. When he was two or three steps away from Shen Qingming, he threw a punch, Shen Qingming jumped backwards to dodge, and handed a knife to him, Fu Yuan couldn't stop it with all his strength, so he had to take a hard knife in the back.

Shen Qingming was very strange in his heart, this Fu Yuan was also a general of the Ming Dynasty, at that time, martial artists had to be trained in real life, why is it so unbearable now.

Just when he was wondering, Fu Yuan slammed his elbow and knocked the blade of the Yan Knife, but instead shook the Yan Knife, and burst into Shen Qingming's side with a dagger. One inch is strong and one inch is strong, one inch is short and one inch is dangerous, and the knife is too long to wield in close combat. Fu Yuan pretended to stab him in the chest with a dagger, but in fact, he secretly stumbled on his legs, Shen Qingming was inexperienced, and he tripped under his feet, revealing a big flaw. He subconsciously abandoned the knife and blocked it with his hand, but found that the knife was shortened to the size of less than half an arm, which happened to be the edge of the dagger.

The word knife is not an entity in the first place, so naturally there is no fixed size. This was something that Shen Qingming hadn't thought of before.

Seeing that the first blow missed, Fu Yuan immediately prepared to attack for the second time, the dagger always followed Shen Qingming's wrist closely, and he didn't care about the few extra wounds on his body, he was bent on killing Shen Qingming with one sword.

"Shen Tianshi dragged it down, it has a great advantage. Lin Sheng said confidently, "This Fu Yuan has been stabbed so much, and he will soon be unable to bear it." ”

Yang Xu said: "Do you think it's a monster fight in an online game, Boss Lin, this is a real fight for life and death, and a few skin injuries don't affect the overall situation at all." I'm very worried that Qingming may lose all the games if he is not careful. ”

As he was talking, Fu Yuan shook a shot to pick Shen Qingming's left shoulder, Shen Qingming did not dodge or dodge a knife that hit him in the waist, and the knife went against the muscles and flesh, cutting his blood vessels one by one. The blood that had lost its restraint gushed out, and Fu Yuan's legs went limp, and he immediately fell to the ground.

Shen Qingming took a step forward, stepped on Fu Yuan, and condescendingly said to the villagers in the audience: "The outcome has been decided, you guys quickly take him and get out of here for me, don't set foot here again." ”

The villagers were leaderless, how could they dare to have other ideas at this time, a few people walked over to hold up Fu Yuan, whose life and death were unknown, fled in a hurry, and left the catacomb.

Shen Qingming picked up the dagger, untied Yang Xu Linsheng, and asked as he untied it, "Eh, boss, what did you just say here?"

Yang Xu laughed embarrassedly twice: "What's this..... Hahaha, we are cheering you on, I said at the time that this Fu Yuan is strong and middle-class, and he is definitely not Xiao Shen's opponent. ”

"Don't listen to your boss. Lin Sheng glanced at Yang Xu and said, "Actually, we were all praying for you at the time, hoping that you would be safe." ”

Shen Qingming asked, "Is this really the case? Why do I not believe it so much?" ”

The two immediately said at the same time: "Of course, of course. ”

In a few words, the group of villagers had already run away. There are only three people left in the entire tomb who can still breathe, and the lack of light makes the atmosphere in the hall very strange.

Shen Qingming said: "Fu Yuan has already run away, so we should also go." It's eerie and scary. ”

Yang Xu struggled to lift it up to Qin Yeyou, put his back on his body and said with a smile: "Look at your little bit of talent, or what kind of heavenly master who subdues demons and destroys demons, you can't stand this situation?"

"It's not like you just risked your life to duel with someone. Shen Qingming took off his shirt and made it into a bandage, trying to stop the bleeding for Chen Lao. Chen Lao is now pale and needs to be sent to the hospital for medical treatment immediately.

"Okay, okay, if you want to quarrel, let's go home. Yang Xu said, "I said Boss Lin, when is this coming, can we stop messing around?"

Lin Sheng was tying up Yang Lao to stop the bleeding, and when he heard Yang Xu's accusation, he asked innocently: "Why am I messing around?"

Yang Xu walked in front with Qin Yeyou, didn't look back, and said, "We are all adults, Boss Lin don't pull my trouser legs and play those children's tricks." ”

"Uh, boss. This really wasn't done by Old Master Lin. Shen Qingming said, "Actually, no one is behind you at all." ”

"How is it possible?" Yang Xu turned around, just in time to see a layer of mist flowing out of the crack in the stone door, covering the ground tightly. From the top of the altar, it looks like it's covered in snow.

Before they could be surprised, they heard a loud noise behind them, and the grave fell from all over the grave, and then a sound similar to the cracking of rotten wood came from all around. A huge amount of dust flew and covered the glow of the fluorite.

Most likely, the tomb was about to collapse, and they hurried towards the exit. As soon as he ran to the altar where Usma had died, the trembling had stopped. Instead, the sound of someone's footsteps, stepping on the dust, approached them step by step.

Shen Qingming boldly turned his head and glanced behind him. Then he never moved again, and the whole person stayed in place like a stone sculpture.

Yang Xu also turned his head and found that in the endless darkness, a person was leading the thick white mist forward step by step.

That person, no, this is by no means human. That unknown existence has the appearance of a person, and it is impossible to distinguish whether it is a man or a woman, and a face has both male and female characteristics, Yang Xu heard that the Buddha is a non-male and non-female aspect, then this existence is a male and female bipolar, and the bipolar appears on his face, but it does not violate the harmony. Dressed in a dark robe, his long snow-white hair dragged on the ground, his eyes were white, and his face was expressionless.

Yes, I saw it in the temple before, and this is the King of Wisdom.

After all, Yang Xu's experience was richer than Shen Qingming's, and he knew that this kind of god would not appear easily. In the same way, he will not easily kill, and he will still be safe for a while.

Thinking of this, he calmed his mind, bent the thumb of his right hand under the thumb of his left hand, pinched the noon lines of his palm, and pinched the shape of "Taijitu" on the outside, pinched the "meridian formula" inside, hugged Yuan Shouyi, and breathed seven holes. He bowed and saluted, and said: "The first disciple under the eighty-third generation Heavenly Master Zhang Ruyue of Longhu Mountain, Yang Xu has no words and no number! The camp is lit by candles, and the crown is smooth. ”

This is all the name in the Daomen, the first sentence shows who he is taught from, what school he comes from, and the second sentence is wordless and unmarked to indicate that he is the Fire Dwelling Dao, not a person who cultivates on the mountain. The last two sentences are the secret words of the Daomen, which are the honorific words of the juniors to greet the elders, hoping that the elders will have an epiphany.

Unexpectedly, the Wisdom King didn't appreciate it at all, but just took a step and came to them from a distance of ten meters in an instant. The invisible pressure made the three of them weaken their knees at the same time and kneel on the ground. The King of Wisdom said: "A hundred years ago, I was sealed by the people in the Daomen, and today I am summoned by the people in the Daomen, and the world is reincarnated, and it is really balanced. ”

Shen Qingming understood that Fu Yuan was going to hand over his group of people as a sacrifice to the King of Wisdom, but he was slashed in the waist by himself, and the hunter finally became the prey. In the end, it was they who released the King of Wisdom by mistake.

When the wise king had finished speaking, he ignored them and went straight to the altar. The altar, which was nourished by the blood of Usma Fu Yuan and others, emitted a bewitching red light. The King of Wisdom stretched out his hands, and two clouds of gas swirled around him.

"Tai Chi?" Yang Xu saw a little bit of the doorway, "What is he doing here?"

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided. Shen Qingming gritted his teeth and analyzed, "In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the group of Miao people should have summoned the Wisdom King, and in the end, the Wisdom King was sealed here by the Heavenly Master's predecessors, so it seems that a great disaster is coming." ”

Yang Xu just wanted to say something, but he was shocked by the powerful coercion of the Wisdom King, and he could only resist the urge to kowtow to the gods, and Shen Qingming was the same.

At the critical moment, Lin Sheng stood up, pointed at the Wisdom King and scolded: "Where did the crooked and evil way come from!

Yang Xu complained bitterly in his heart, hasn't this eldest young master seen what the existence of the Wisdom King looks like? I really don't know if it's better to say that he has courage or no brains.

The Wise King didn't expect that he would be able to withstand his coercion and talk to him like this. He glanced at Lin Sheng and sighed, "You are the Lin family." ”

"How do you know?" Lin Sheng asked.

The Wisdom King fell into his memories and said, "The demeanor of his speech is exactly the same as Lin Yan's, it is simply carved out of a mold. ”

Yang Xu said with a smile: "Since you are the son of an old friend, then everything is easy to discuss, everyone is a three-point family." ”

"Old friend? At most, they are deceased. The wise king said, "He is the one who sealed me here." ”

Come on, hit the muzzle of the gun. The hearts of the three of them suddenly cooled in half.

The wise king did not care about such a thing, and said, "Three thousand years have passed like smoke. You can rest assured that the balance will be the same. ”

Speaking of balance, Shen Qingming remembered that he had seen the scales in the broken temple before. It seems that the King of Wisdom attaches great importance to this aspect of balance? Having guessed this, Shen Qingming asked, "What is balance?"

"There is life and death, there is loss and gain, there is joy and sorrow, there is good and evil, the two sides of opposites are equal, one side is not much, and the other side is not much, it is for balance. The God of Wisdom said, grabbing a balance from the void, "Between heaven and earth, only a balanced life has the value of existence." ”

When Yang Xu heard these words, he said in his heart that the balance that the King of Wisdom said was similar to the true meaning of the Tao, and it was also the pursuit of neutrality. Since he is a fellow believer, how could he be sealed here?

The King of Wisdom glanced at the scales and said, "The balance of this world has been completely disrupted and must be corrected. ”

Lin Sheng asked the regret in their hearts: "Can balance be corrected? People's joys, sorrows, and sorrows are also part of the balance, how can this be corrected?"

The King of Wisdom asked, "This balance has weights at both ends, and it needs to be constantly added and subtracted to make it equal to the left and right, right?" ”

"That's right. ”

"But there is another way to achieve balance, a complete balance, the highest level of balance," said the King of Wisdom. ”

The highest level of balance...... Both ends of the scale. Between the lightning and flint, Shen Qingming figured out what balance the King of Wisdom was pursuing, adding and subtracting the weights on both sides was practical, but he didn't take down all the weights on both sides thoroughly, and both sides of the balance were zero, so it was naturally balanced.

"Destroy ......," Shen Qingming said.

"It's not destruction, it's rebirth. The King of Wisdom smiled and said, "Return to harmony, harmony forever." ”

"You better find someone else to build a harmonious society!" Lin Sheng roared, grabbed the stone on the ground and rushed towards the Wisdom King.

The Wisdom King didn't even raise his hand, and Lin Sheng flew out three zhang away, smashing a fluorite pillar before stopping. The King of Wisdom said, "Like your ancestors, impulsive. ”

After saying this, the two clouds of turbid air had already absorbed enough blood, and hit the top of the tomb, piercing through several layers of stone slabs, breaking through infinitely upward, faintly reaching the sky, looking through the skylight opened by the fog, it was the time of the shadow moon. The moon hung high in the sky was infected with blood and turned crimson, and the whole village was shrouded in red moonlight, and the villagers lost their minds and attacked each other with farm tools.

"That's the price to pay for balance, and soon they'll understand my good intentions. ”
