Chapter 12: Paradox
"The grandmaster of this world doesn't feel very valuable. β
After riding his horse and leaving the long pavilion, Xia Fan pinched his fingers a little absentmindedly and muttered to himself.
Since he came out of the mountain, he has met three grandmasters.
Wei Pingzhang of Tianshu Pavilion, Yu Hengchu of Xinglou and Xue Ze, the speaker of Nanjun.
Well, that's what kind of door who is barely half of whom.
Three and a half grandmasters, he beat two.
Maybe it's Xia Fan's too strong relationship, he always feels that the grandmaster who everyone in the rivers and lakes is in awe is a little unworthy of his name.
In a nutshell.
There is not a single one who can fight.
As the saying goes, things gather by like, and people are grouped.
What kind of people will come into contact with what kind of circle.
If Xia Fan was just a nameless little shrimp in the rivers and lakes, it is estimated that it would be difficult for him to intersect with the grandmaster in his life.
But if he reaches the level of a grandmaster, he will find that grandmasters are everywhere like cabbage, and if there are more of them, they will naturally be cheaper.
Take the Hidden World Sect as an example, a profound Hidden World Sect can't have only one grandmaster, right?
Suppose that a hermit sect has three grandmasters, and there are thirty out of ten hermit sects, what about the demon sects that are hostile to it? There are dozens of each branch sect together, to say the least?
Here Xia Fan has not counted the imperial court and other famous sects with grandmasters, and in addition to the Central Plains of Shenzhou, how many grandmasters are there in other places?
All in all, at least one or two hundred, right?
In this way, is the Grandmaster still valuable?
The problem is that these two hundred grandmasters are distributed in the land of Shenzhou, which has a population of hundreds of millions, and the grandmasters who stand out from the crowd are extremely rare.
This is similar to seeing rolling in the previous life, it is rare to see it on weekdays, but when I went to the Rongcheng Panda Base to take a look, yo, there are a lot of rolls, and it feels not uncommon to roll in an instant.
"Childe, are you alright?"
At this time, Xia Fan had slowly caught up with Lu Shaoyang and them, and Lu Shaoyang still seemed to ask uncomfortably when he saw Xia Fan, who was safe and sound.
"Do you think I look like I'm in trouble?" Xia Fan said in a casual tone. "I just chatted with the other party, and by the way, the friendship flowed a little. β
"Since Childe has nothing to do, he is relieved. Lu Shaoyang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't say I'm like a troublemaker. Xia Fan said casually. "A lot of times trouble comes uninvited, especially for people like Ben Gongzi, who are always harassed by some lawbreakers. β
"Childe, you misunderstood, how dare you slander you?"
Lu Shaoyang hurriedly trembled.
Bah!
This guy has never let himself worry about it!
"It's okay, even if you say bad things about Ben Gongzi behind your back, Ben Gongzi won't mind. β
As he spoke, Xia Fan also winked at Lu Shaoyang mischievously.
"Childe, even if you give you a hundred guts, you won't dare!"
Lu Shaoyang smiled bitterly and said with a smile.
"Okay, I'm not going to tease you, let's get on the road. β
Charvington waved his hand boredly.
Meanwhile.
In the long pavilion, Xue Ze, who made Xia Fan unconscious, woke up and turned around.
Xia Fan didn't kill him.
After all, people came here to ask Xia Fan about Yingying's whereabouts, who let Yingying disappear for no reason after seeing Xia Fan, and his future daughter-in-law was lost, who did he not look for Xia Fan?
It's just that Xia Fan has been gagging, and everyone has fire on him!
He understands Xue Ze's angry move, but it doesn't mean that he won't fight back to defend himself!
So Xia Fan just knocked him out and ignored it.
Originally, he planned to report and expose the big-breasted woman, but since the other party is not authentic first, then don't blame himself for being ruthless.
If time could be turned back.
He will definitely say before Xue Ze makes a move, give me a chance, I didn't have a choice before, and now I just want to tell the truth.
It's a pity -
You can't turn back time.
Xue Ze's beating was destined to be in vain.
It's just that after Xue Ze left, Xia Fan felt as if he had forgotten something, but if he forgot it, he forgot it, and it was not an important thing to think about.
Xue Ze woke up and slowly got up, he looked at the official road in the distance expressionlessly, but the corners of his eyes kept twitching slightly.
He lost.
Lost completely.
You must know that he is a dignified grandmaster, but he still can't resist the other party's move.
What does this mean?
This shows that the other party is not the rumored grandmaster of the rivers and lakes at all, but a special great grandmaster!
At this moment, Xue Ze's heart wanted to swear.
What kind of old immortal is this who has nothing to do and come out to travel in the red dust?
As a great master, what about your demeanor, what about your self-cultivation, and your majesty? Have you let the dogs eat it all? Is it so fun to flirt with the juniors of the rivers and lakes?
Yes.
Xue Ze subconsciously decided that Xia Fan was definitely an old-timer who had retired from the rivers and lakes and disappeared for many years.
It is said that when you reach the realm of the great grandmaster, it is not a problem to live for hundreds of years, and it is even easier to rejuvenate and rejuvenate.
There were several senior grandmasters that Xue Ze knew alone.
But in order to pursue the ethereal way to become immortals, these otherworldly great masters often stay in retreat all year round and ignore the world, only when the sect reaches the juncture of life and death, these old immortals have the possibility of getting out.
Therefore, for a long time, the rivers and lakes have respected the grandmaster, and they have tacitly acquiesced to each other that the great grandmaster will not interfere in worldly affairs.
Once the time comes when the great grandmasters reappear in the rivers and lakes, it means that the heavens of the entire Shenzhou will change.
How did the Middle and Early Antiquity end?
It's not that the great grandmasters are fighting one after another.
If Xia Fan knew about these things, he would immediately associate the Great Grandmaster with something terrifying.
Nuclear weapon.
The Great Grandmaster is a nuclear weapon, and the Great Grandmaster's war is a nuclear war.
You can imagine what the world will look like after nuclear war.
"It turns out that the woman didn't lie to me. β
Xue Ze suddenly squirted out a mouthful of blood that had accumulated on his chest, and he wiped the remaining blood stains from his mouth, frowning and muttering to himself.
Last night.
The woman was seriously injured and came to Jiangxin Island to see her.
It is claimed that Yingying mysteriously disappeared after meeting a young man, and even she was unfortunately hit hard by the other party.
Originally, Xue Ze didn't believe women's words, but Ma Liangmao, the back foot, came to visit, saying that his son had provoked a grandmaster, and his family was afraid of being wiped out, so he implored Xue Ze to come forward to protect his family for the sake of his many years of saddle before and after the horse.
After Xue Ze made a perfunctory promise, his mind was on this mysterious grandmaster who had suddenly appeared in the rivers and lakes recently.
There has always been a good water between the masters, and the river water does not interfere with the river water.
And Xia Fan's behavior is obviously out of bounds.
As the lord of Nanjun, whether it is for Yingying or to maintain his majesty as a grandmaster, he must meet each other.
But I never expected it.
He kicked on a real iron plate.
Who was the one who rumored that he was the Grandmaster? Once he knew about it, he wouldn't screw the other person's head off.
Is this a grandmaster?
Do you want Lao Tzu to die?!
Of course, Xue Ze was not going to publicize this matter, otherwise where would his Grandmaster's face go?
You said that you were beaten by the Great Grandmaster, who would believe it if you didn't have any evidence? Do you want Xia Fan to beat yourself again?
What's more, he can't lose face alone, he wants to see who will end up with the same fate as him at that time.
Moreover, he leaked the other party's identity privately, what if the other party knew to blame him?
He is a good emperor of Nanjun Tu, and there is no need to feel uncomfortable with himself.
It's just a warblerβ
Forget it, it's nothing more than a woman.
My son has the qualifications of a grandmaster, how can I delay his great future for the sake of my children's personal feelings!
He believed that his son would understand the good intentions of an old father.
"However, they seem to be heading for Wanyang?"
After Xue Ze soothed his brows, he thought of an important matter.
As the lord of Nanjun, how could he not know that Wanyang had fallen into the hands of the rescue army, but the specific situation would not be known until his son returned.
Wanyang Gaocheng Shenchi, and the Zhenwu Division sent by the imperial court to assist.
He still can't figure it out.
How did the Rescue Army capture Wanyang, I heard that even his son was defeated by a person of unknown origin.
The most proud thing in Xue Zeping's life is not that he became a grandmaster, but that he has cultivated a good son.
Because his son was only a weak crown and successfully promoted to the Chaoyuan realm, it can be described as a rare talent in the world.
Now that his son is twenty-three, he has almost touched the threshold of a half-step grandmaster, and I am afraid that in a year or two, his son will be able to officially step into the realm of a half-step grandmaster, and he is even expected to become a real grandmaster in his first year.
But his proud son was defeated.
And the people he lost to seemed to be as young as he was.
Xue Ze was not afraid of his son's failure, but he was very puzzled, who was the person who defeated his son?
"Could it be them?"
In fact, Xue Ze had a faint guess in his heart, but he didn't dare to jump to conclusions at this stage.
Hidden Sect!
Only they can cultivate young disciples who are even better than their own sons.
If it is really the Hidden World Sect that makes a move, then it is no wonder that the Rescue Army can capture Wanyang.
"Maybe the way of the world is really going to change. β
Xue Ze muttered, then turned around and walked out of the long pavilion.
Not long after he left, the empty pavilion collapsed with a bang.
......
"There are so many people who have fled. β
On the official road.
The farther north they went, the more people Xia Fan and Lu Shaoyang encountered on the road with their families.
But most of these refugees were well-dressed, and at first glance they knew that they were from large families, and that this group of propertied people was undoubtedly the most afraid of the war that would befall them compared to the poor who had nothing.
Therefore, they have to flee one step faster than ordinary people, and they are deeply afraid that they will return to the pre-liberation period after decades of hard work.
"Some people choose to flee, but I believe that many more will choose to stay in their hometowns. β
Lu Shaoyang looked at the refugees on the official road one after another and sighed.
"Is it hard to leave your homeland?" Xia Fan said casually.
"Childe, do you know what the slogan of the Rescue Army is?" Lu Shaoyang sold a pass.
"Fight local tyrants and divide the land?"
Xia Fan was not interested.
The peasant uprisings from ancient times to the present day are these slogans back and forth, what is there to guess.
"......" Lu Shaoyang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Childe, your answer is too radical, if the Salvation Army really does what you say, I'm afraid it will be the enemy of the whole world. β
"Also, it is indeed a little more difficult for the world to carry out an agrarian revolution, after all, many people in the rivers and lakes have a severing relationship with the local powerful clans, and once they lose their support, it is indeed tantamount to self-destruction. β
Xia Fan said thoughtfully.
"Yes, so the slogan of the army to save the suffering is to have land and plough together, have food and food, have clothes and clothing, have money and make people together, everywhere is uneven, and no one is not full of warmth. Lu Shaoyang said slowly.
"Poof......" Xia Fan couldn't help but squirt out when he heard it. "Isn't this the slogan of the Heavenly Balances? Are you sure you're not wrong?"
"Childe?!What Heavenly Balance Heavenly Kingdom?" Lu Shaoyang said in confusion. Is there anything wrong with this? It is not difficult to inquire about the slogan of the Relief Army, but anyone who has heard of the Relief Army knows the slogan they put forward. β
"Hehe, it's a lot of fun this time. β
But Xia Fan didn't answer Lu Shaoyang's question, and the expression on his face gradually became serious.
Is it a coincidence?
Or is it ......
He met the "fellow"?
If it's the latter, as he says, it's a lot of fun.
"Lu Shaoyang, do you know who first put forward the slogan of the Rescue Army?"
Thinking of this, he immediately turned his head to stare at Lu Shaoyang and asked.
"I also ask the son to forgive the sin, and it is not clear who first proposed this slogan. Lu Shaoyang suddenly said cautiously. "Because when they first heard about the Relief Army, they already had this slogan. β
"Looks like I'm going to have to find out for myself. β
Xia Fan frowned.
"Childe?!Do you want to ......"
Lu Shaoyang instantly had an ominous premonition.
"Wanyang is the only way for us to go north, right?"
Xia Fan's expression returned to calm.
"Yes, but now that the Wanyang soldiers are in danger, if we want to avoid it, we can go over it through the mountain road in Kunling. β
Lu Shaoyang said worriedly in his heart.
"No need, let's go directly to Wanyang!"
Xia Fan made a decision without hesitation.
Finished!
Didn't persuade!
"Childe, don't you need to think about it?"
Lu Shaoyang still did not give up the dangerous idea of dispelling the other party.
"What is there to think about, Wanyang I must go. β
Xia Fan cut the railway.
Because he had to personally confirm something of great importance.
"Shaoyang, come here. β
At this time, Wang Huan's weak voice suddenly came from inside the carriage.
"Brother Wang, what's wrong with you, is there something wrong with you?"
When Lu Shaoyang heard this, he thought that Wang Huan was injured, and he couldn't continue to persuade Xia Fan, so he hurriedly got into the carriage.
As soon as he entered the carriage, he saw Wang Huan's index finger to his mouth, and at the same time made a silent movement with a solemn expression.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Huan beckoned to Lu Shaoyang, and immediately motioned for him to give birth to a palm.
Although Lu Shaoyang was a little inexplicable, he still did it out of trust in Wang Huan.
Wang Huan lifted his fingers with difficulty and landed on Lu Shaoyang's palm, and then trembled and wrote two words on his palm.
As Wang Huan finished writing the last stroke, Lu Shaoyang's whole face showed an unbelievable look.
And Wang Huan just nodded slightly.
"Brother Wang, your injuries are not serious, it's just that there are many bumps along the way that cause the flow of qi and blood to be poor, you can bear with it, and you will be able to rest and recuperate when you arrive in the county seat later." β
Lu Shaoyang came back to his senses and pretended to be relieved.
"There is Brother Lao Shaoyang. β
Wang Huan also understood.
After getting out of the carriage, Lu Shaoyang returned to the horse and silently followed the carriage without saying a word.
