Chapter Twenty-Three: The Sword Test
The world is out of my generation, and the years of entering the rivers and lakes are urging.
In the talk and laughter of the emperor's hegemony, it is better than a drunk in the world.
Lifting a sword and riding to wave the ghost rain, the white bones are like mountain birds flying in shock.
The world is like a tide, people are like water, and only a few people in the rivers and lakes are back.
From the moment you step into the rivers and lakes, everyone will inevitably be involved in all kinds of grievances and grievances in the rivers and lakes, life and death have long been put aside, and killing and being killed have become a sparse and ordinary thing.
Xie Linyuan killed a lot of people, and he also offended a lot of people.
But he didn't regret it.
Because this is the rivers and lakes, those who kill people, those who kill them constantly, and those who take it from themselves.
At that time, Xia Fan escaped into the mountains and hidden, one of the reasons is that in his opinion, the people in the rivers and lakes of this world are a group of mentally ill people with distorted thoughts, who dare to act wantonly with their martial arts, and the severity of the ban on chivalry has greatly affected the order and stability of society, but the saddest thing is that even the government has a laissez-faire and acquiescing attitude.
Jianghu affairs, rivers and lakes.
Although everyone in the rivers and lakes has their own set of rules, it is easy not to implicate innocent ordinary people.
But is that really the case?
Xia Fan, who once tried to make a living from business, undoubtedly has a say in this regard.
If ordinary people want to do business in the local area, the first thing is to worship the wharf, if there is no protection of the gangs in the rivers and lakes, ordinary people will not even be able to do business, even if it is a small stall vendor along the street, a long-term and short-term laborer engaged in coolies, and even a part of the hard-earned profits must be honored to the affiliated gang every month.
Otherwise, how can these gangs that are not engaged in production feed and strengthen themselves?
And once the vendetta in the rivers and lakes unfortunately affects ordinary people, ordinary people who have no way to sue the official can only consider themselves unlucky.
The common people at the bottom of this world can be described as miserable, the double exploitation from the government and the gangs has bent their backbones, even if they want to resist, they are powerless, who makes this a world where force is supreme, unless the industrial revolution breaks out in this world, from the era of cold weapons to hot weapons, otherwise the ordinary people at the bottom will never turn over and be the masters.
Xia Fan is not a savior, let alone a great ambition to save the world.
What's more, at that time, he was a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it was difficult to protect himself, otherwise he would not have hid in the mountains to hide from the world and practice penance for ten years.
People can only save themselves, and no one can save others.
Happiness has always been earned by oneself, not by relying on the handouts of others.
If the people at the bottom of this world did not resist oppression and shed their blood and blood for their revolutionary ideas, even if Xia Fan brought a whole set of industrial revolution technologies, it would be useless.
Let's get back to the point.
After killing an unknown number of people in a row, Xie Linyuan had already killed the people in the rivers and lakes present, and no one dared to come out to fight for a while.
"Who else will come up and die?"
Xie Linyuan looked around coldly, but in exchange for a silence.
"Heh! I thought that today's rivers and lakes are full of talents, but I didn't expect to find that in the end, you are just a group of gutless rats!"
As he spoke, Xie Linyuan's gaze inadvertently fell on Gu Xiqiao, who was outside the crowd.
"Gu Gongzi, it seems that this Xie Gongzi has his eyes on you. β
Miss Zhao beside her naturally noticed Xie Linyuan's eyes.
"There's no hurry. Gu Xiqiao said lightly. "Because this Gongzi Xie is about to be in trouble. β
"Oh?" said Miss Zhao.
"Donor, your murderous nature is too great. β
At this time, the crowd suddenly dispersed, and then a big monk with a Zen staff walked out.
"The enlightened monk of Bodhi Temple. β
"It's actually a monk Mingjian! When did the Bodhi Temple also send people to join in the fun?"
"Tsk, there's a good show to watch this time. β
"Where did this monk come from?"
Miss Huang, who was not deeply involved in the world, heard the voices of the crowd in the distance, and couldn't help but be curious.
"The other party is the most outstanding disciple of the Ming generation of Bodhi Temple, and he is also the most deviant disciple in the temple. Gu Xiqiao explained with a smile. It is said that a year ago, the Bodhi Temple kicked him out of the temple gate for six unfinished reasons, but there are very few people in the rivers and lakes who know the truth, and most of them think that he is the successor of the Bodhi Temple's generation of practice. β
"Just drive out?" Miss Zhao keenly grasped the point of Gu Xiqiao's words. "In other words, this monk Mingjian is still a disciple of Bodhi Temple?"
"Yes. Gu Xiqiao looked at the monk Mingjian who walked into the field and looked at Xie Linyuan across the eyes. "Therefore, the monk Mingjian does represent the will of the Bodhi Temple to a certain extent. β
"Is there finally a decent opponent?"
Xie Linyuan stared at his face expressionlessly, his face full of flesh did not look like a monk's clear sight.
"Donor, stop it. Seeing this, he gave Xie Linyuan a single palm salute with an indifferent expression, and his voice was like Hong Zhongdao. "Now that your goal has been achieved, why bother to create unprovoked killings?"
"Not enough! Far from enough!" Xie Linyuan said with a sinking face. "I entered the WTO on behalf of Shenjian Villa this time to test the heroes of the world, not this group of vain charlatans!"
"Donor, since you have the heart to try the sword, you can go directly to the door to find the master, why vent the sword qi in your heart to these innocent people in the rivers and lakes?"
"Because my sword is a murderous sword!" Xie Linyuan said bluntly.
His meaning is self-evident.
He can indeed go to the major sects to challenge one by one, but will the other party allow him to kill people in his own territory? And after he kills someone, will the other party easily let him go?
Xie Linyuan is not stupid, after hearing the news of the appearance of "Heaven Thief", he expected that this time there will be masters from major sects to enter the world to compete, this is undoubtedly a great opportunity for him to make a name for himself to the world.
It's a pity he miscalculated.
"Heaven Thieves" has indeed attracted a large number of people from the rivers and lakes, but there are only a handful of people from major sects.
How can such a result be acceptable to Xie Linyuan?
Fortunately, the only consolation was that he bumped into Gu Xiqiao of the Huanhua Sword Pavilion, and the Mingjian monk from the Bodhi Temple in front of him was also worthy of his battle.
"The poor monk understands, in order to prevent the donor from creating and killing again, then let the poor monk come to meet the donor's murderous sword for a while. β
Monk Mingjian sighed lightly.
"Let's do it. β
Xie Linyuan was ready to say.
"Please forgive the poor monk for offending!"
When the words fell, the monk saw that the monk slammed the Zen staff in his hand to the ground, and in an instant, he turned into an afterimage and pounced on Xie Linyuan.
So fast!
Xie Linyuan's pupils shrank, and in the blink of an eye, he pulled out the soft sword on his waist and drew a sharp cold light, trying to force the other party to change his tricks and dodge, but who knew that the monk was blind like a madman, and he put on a posture of wanting to die with Xie Linyuan.
Dingββ
"King Kong is not bad?"
Xie Linyuan has always been a sword that never returns, and since he sees that the monk does not dodge or dodge, it is even more impossible for him to change the sword.
But when his sword touched the monk Mingjian, it bounced straight away.
He instantly realized that something was wrong.
