Chapter 512: To Draw the Sword or Not to Strike
Ding Tong held on to the railing with both hands, not knowing why he was sitting here, and asked blankly, "Am I going to die?" β
The scholar in white took out the folding fan, stretched out his arm, and patted the railing.
Ding Tong turned his head to look, the observation deck on the second floor of the ferry, Wei Bai of Tie Mo Mansion, the green fairy of the Spring Dew Garden, the ugly and intimidating old woman, those immortal masters who don't mind that he is a martial artist on weekdays and are willing to drink together, everyone is indifferent.
On the first floor, some were watching the excitement, and some people secretly smiled at him, especially one person, and stretched out their thumbs to him.
Ding Tong turned his head, desperate, then numb, and looked down at the sea of clouds under his feet.
As soon as the white-clothed scholar raised his hand, a golden sword light swept out of the window, and then soared into the sky.
He smiled: "I know why you are a waste or the culprit, but I have never made a move on you, that old man of the Golden Body Realm can obviously stay out of the matter, but I killed it?"
Ding Tong shook his head and said hoarsely: "I don't understand." β
After the white-clothed scholar gave birth to the sword and the sword, there was no movement, and he looked up into the distance, "A martial artist of the Seven Realms is evil for what he does casually, and you are evil for the strength of a martial artist of the Five Realms, and the impact on this world is very different." The smaller the territory, the more you look like a god who holds the power of life and death in the eyes of the weak. What's more, the papier-mΓ’chΓ© golden body, said that there was no injustice and no revenge, and if he didn't kill anyone, he had already killed the foreigner in his mind with the first punch, but I could accept this, so I sincerely let him punch the second and third punches, and he began to find death by himself. As for you, you have to thank the young man who called me Sword Immortal for stopping you from jumping out of the observation deck and coming down to ask me for boxing techniques. Otherwise, it will not be the old man who helped you prevent the disaster, but you. As far as the facts are concerned, you will not sin to death, not to mention that Gao Cheng still left a little suspense and deliberately disgusted people. It doesn't matter, I'll just treat you as if you were the same as me back then, because others have used the Dao Fa in your heart, so your temperament is pulled, so you will do something that is 'bent on death'. β
"Truth is not something that the weak can only use to complain and cry out for grievances, and it is not a language that must be kneeled and kowtowed before it can be spoken. β
Ding Tong's mind was blank, he didn't listen much at all, he was just thinking, whether to wait for the sword to fall and then die by himself, or whether he should be heroic, jump off the ferry, and become a martial artist of the Eight Realms who traveled far away against the wind.
The white-clothed scholar also stopped talking.
You people are the horseback warriors who go to the mountains to die one by one, and by the way, they will kill a few pedestrians who are just obstructing your eyes.
In the countryside, in the market, in the rivers and lakes, in the officialdom, in the mountains.
There are countless such people.
This is true of Mr. Parents, it is true of themselves, and it is true of future generations.
I can't stop it.
At the beginning of the Jinduo Temple in Huaihuang Kingdom, why was the little girl sad and disappointed.
Because Chen Ping'an, a white-clothed scholar who deliberately did it at that time, if he put aside his true identity and cultivation, he only said that the words and deeds he showed on that road were exactly the same as those who went up the mountain to die.
What hurt her the most was not the pedantry of the weak scholar, but the sentence "If I was knocked unconscious and robbed the bookcase to outsiders, would you lose money?" This kind of words and mentality are the most sad for that little girl, I gave the world and others kindness, but that person not only did not appreciate it, but also gave her a malicious intention. But the good thing about the little girl of Jinduo Temple is that even if she is so sad, she is still sincerely concerned about the safety of that stupid and bad person. And what Chen Ping'an can do now is just tell himself to "do good for evil, and do your own business", so Chen Ping'an feels that she is much better than herself, and she should be called a good person.
The white-clothed scholar was silent, not only waiting for the return of the monks of the Phi Ma Sect, but also listening to his own heart.
Gao Cheng's conscience bureau is not too clever.
Yangmou is a bit impressive.
The white-clothed scholar pressed a folding fan against his heart, and said to himself: "This time I was caught off guard, what does it have to do with the Phi Ma Sect? Even I know that it is not my heart to anger the Phi Ma Sect like this, how can I allow some ants to use the tricks you can see, Gao Cheng is a little beyond your control, so I can't stand this grievance? A cultivator like you, a cultivator like you, I don't think it's much better, be your swordsman, don't think about it." β
Zhu Quan told him with the ripples of the heart lake that Edgeworth met in the depths of the sea of clouds, and if he had the magic power of separating heaven and earth again, the ordinary people on the ferry would really consume their roots, get off the ferry, and go straight to the south for ten miles.
Chen Ping'an stood up and stepped out, a golden sword light fell from the sky, just hovering under his feet, people and swords, fleeting.
In the sea of clouds, in addition to Zhu Quan and the two ancestors of the Phi Ma Sect, there was also a strange old Taoist, who had never seen him in a Taoist robe, and was obviously not among the three veins, nor was he a Taoist priest of the Heavenly Master Mansion of Longhu Mountain. When Chen Ping'an's sword was hovering, a middle-aged Taoist broke through the sea of clouds and strode from a distance, the mountains and rivers shrunk, and the sea of clouds was only two steps away.
The middle-aged Taoist said in a deep voice: "The formation has been completed, as long as Gao Cheng dares to spy on us with the magical power of watching the mountains and rivers with his palm, he will have to suffer a little hardship." β
Zhu Quan looked a little embarrassed, but still said: "It's my fault that I didn't find the clues left by Gao Cheng in that martial artist." β
The old Taoist hesitated for a moment, and when he saw a Phi Ma Sect Ancestor beside him shaking his head, the old Taoist did not speak.
Chen Ping'an shook his head and said: "It was I who lost to Gao Cheng, and I was tricked by him once, and I can't complain about others." β
Zhu Quan was still holding the little girl in black in his arms, but the little girl had already fallen asleep at this time.
Zhu Quan was still undisguised, and said bluntly: "After we left before, we actually kept an eye on the movements on the ferry, but we were afraid of what happened, and we were afraid of what happened, and we heard the conversation between you and Gao Cheng." When Gao Cheng dispersed the remnants, the little girl took a full snort, and then a wisp of green smoke floated out of her mouth, just like Na Wufu. It should be that he moved his hands and feet in that turtle jelly, but fortunately, this time, I can assure you that in addition to Gao Cheng staying in Jingguan City, it is possible for us to watch the mountains and rivers, and for the rest, I Zhu Quan can assure you that at least on the little girl, there is no backhand. β
The middle-aged Taoist said in an indifferent tone, but it made people feel more sarcastic, "For the sake of one person, ignoring the entire skeleton beach and even the entire southern part of Kuluzhou, if you Chen Ping'an weigh the pros and cons, think about it for a long time, and then do it, poor Dao stay out of the matter, it is not good to say anything, but you are good, do not hesitate." β
Chen Ping'an's words made the middle-aged Taoist almost feel like a wave, "You are not very profound." β
The middle-aged Taoist sneered: "Since you are so affectionate and righteous, you picked up a small water monster on the road, and you are willing to hand over the treasure, if I am a wicked person, it is really a great blessing to meet you." β
The Taoist saw the white-clothed scholar wearing two robes, took out a folding fan, and gently patted his head, "You are higher than Du Mao's realm?"
The middle-aged Taoist sneered: "Although I don't know the specific truth and the inside story, but what realm are you in now, presumably it was even more unbearable back then, in the face of a Flying Ascension Realm, you Chen Ping'an were able to escape a catastrophe, and it didn't rely on the backer in the shadows?"
The white-clothed scholar smiled and said, "Do you know that my backer is not uncommon to look at you?"
The middle-aged Taoist man's face was gloomy, and then he smiled, "Don't be angry, it's just that you kid is not pleasing to the eye, a half-hung sword cultivator who will be regarded by Gao Cheng as a fellow Taoist, the backer is powerful, plus you are a deep city at a young age, Gao Cheng has a good eye, and he is really accurate." You are not bad, you can talk and laugh with Gao Cheng, the heroic spirit of the Ghost Valley, if this spreads, someone can give Gao Cheng a pot of wine, and Gao Cheng will drink it, and your Chen Ping'an's reputation in Beiju Luzhou will spread to all the mountain sects overnight. β
The white-clothed scholar sighed and slapped his palm with a folding fan, "You can shut up, I'm just looking at Sect Master Zhu's face, I'm polite with you, now your share of talking to me has been used up." β
The middle-aged Taoist smiled and said, "Don't you think you can fight?"
The white-clothed scholar said: "Then for the sake of your master's cup of thousand-year-old peach berry tea, I will tell you one more word." β
The middle-aged Taoist waited for a moment.
As a result, the man was so silent, just with pity in his eyes.
The Taoist suddenly woke up to the fact that the so-called one more sentence is really just that.
Zhu Quan was a little worried.
She was really afraid that the two of them would continue to talk like this, so she began to roll up her sleeves and fight. When the time comes, it is not good to help anyone by herself, and it is not her temper not to help each other. Or is it clear to persuade the fight, and then give each of them a few blows? She Zhu Quan is good at fighting, but she is not very good at persuasion, and some accidental injuries are also reasonable.
The old Taoist said softly: "It's okay, it's a good thing for Chen Ping'an and my apprentice." β
Zhu Quan sighed and said, "Chen Ping'an, since you have already guessed it, I won't introduce it too much, these two Daomen masters are both from the Little Xuandu Temple of the Ghost Valley. This time we were invited out of the mountain, and you also know that we are able to fight and kill in the Phi Ma Sect, but to deal with Gao Cheng's ghost method, we still need to watch from the side of a Taoist master like Guan Zhu. β
Chen Ping'an nodded and did not speak.
This little Xuanduguan old Taoist, according to Jiang Shangzhen, should be Yang Ningxing's short-term protector.
That night on the cliffside of the chain bridge, this observer who was expected to be the king of heaven guarded all night, afraid that he would directly kill Yang Ningxing.
As for the thousand-year-old peach berry tea that was brought by a golden armor god, whether it was the whim of a Daomen true monarch or the hospitality similar to Gao Cheng, Chen Ping'an knew very little about Xiaoxuanduguan, and there were too few veins and threads, so he couldn't guess the other party's true intentions for the time being.
Chen Ping'an glanced at the little girl in Zhu Quan's arms, and said to Zhu Quan: "It may be more troublesome for Sect Master Zhu." It's not that I can't trust the Phi Ma Sect and the Guan Lord, but I can't trust Gao Cheng, so after the Phi Ma Sect sent the little girl to Longquan County by cross-continent ferry, I told Wei Yan of Phiyun Mountain to help me find a person named Cui Dongshan, and said that I asked Cui Dongshan to return to Luoluo Mountain immediately and carefully investigate the little girl's soul. β
Monk of the Phi Ma Sect, Chen Ping'an believed, but the little Xuandu Guan Guan Master in front of him, who taught such a disciple Xu Zhu, coupled with the Yuanying disciple in front of him who had a bad temper and a bad brain, he really didn't believe it.
The middle-aged Taoist frowned.
I heard that Wei Bai of Piyun Mountain, as the righteous god of Dali Beiyue, is expected to immediately enter the Yupu realm. Now in the boundary of Dali Beiyue, there are already some auspicious visions.
Zhu Quan is straight, "Is this Cui Dongshan okay?"
Chen Ping'an said slowly: "If he can't do it, no one can do it." β
The old Taoist smiled: "You really need to be safe, but after the poor Dao only dared to say that he tried his best, he failed to find clues in this little girl, if it was really a hundred secrets, the consequences would be serious." It's a good thing to have one more person to investigate. β
Chen Ping'an smiled: "There are a lot of viewers. β
The old Taoist laughed it off.
Zhu Quan saw that things were about the same, and suddenly said: "Lord, you go first, and I will stay and talk to Chen Ping'an about some personal matters." β
The middle-aged Daoist put away the Cloud Sea Formation.
Not to mention anything else, this human method allowed Chen Ping'an to see the subtlety and ruthlessness of the spells on the mountain.
It turns out that a person who uses his palm to watch the mountains and rivers may catch fire.
Xiao Xuandu looked at the two masters and apprentices, and the two patriarchs of the Phi Ma Sect went south first.
Zhu Quan got straight to the point and said: "That big disciple of the master, has always been a person who likes to say strange things, I annoy him for a day or two, but it's not good to shoot at him, but this person is very good at fighting, Xiao Xuanduguan's ability to press the bottom of the box, it is said that he has learned seven or eight percent, you don't have to pay attention to him now, one day the realm is high, and then beat him half to death." β
Chen Ping'an put away the folding fan, the sword came to Zhu Quan's side, stretched out his hand, Zhu Quan handed the little girl to the young sword fairy, and teased: "You are a big man, you can also hold children?
Chen Ping'an sat down cross-legged, held the little girl in his arms, snoring slightly, Chen Ping'an smiled, there was a smile on his face, and there were small pieces of sadness in his eyes, "When I was not very old, I held the child every day to tease the child and take the child." β
Zhu Quan glanced at the young man, it seemed that it should be the real thing.
Zhu Quan sat on the sea of clouds, and seemed to be a little hesitant to speak, which was unprecedented.
Chen Ping'an didn't look up, but seemed to guess what she was thinking, and said slowly: "I have always felt that Sect Master Zhu is the smartest person in Bone Beach, but he is too lazy to think about it. β
Zhu Quan nodded and said, "Then I understand, I believe you." β
Then Zhu Quan said with a smile: "But the true and false words of you and Gao Cheng, even if I am familiar with you, I have to be suspicious, not to mention the old master who is not familiar with you, and he is a big disciple who does not cultivate his strength." β
Chen Ping'an said: "The words at the front are true, I have prepared for the worst, the little girl died on the ferry, I can't protect it, I can only take revenge, it's as simple as that." As for the back, it's not worth mentioning, testing each other, both sides are trying to see more of each other's mental context, Gao Cheng is also worried, he watched me all the way, and the results are all I deliberately showed him, he is afraid that he will lose twice, and lose again, and he will not even have the heart to compete for that little drunk. In the final analysis, it's actually just a tug-of-war trick in the mood. β
Chen Ping'an took out a free hand, gently bent his fingers and tapped the sword raising gourd on his waist, and the flying sword slowly swept out, hovering on Chen Ping'an's shoulder, it was rare to be so tame and well-behaved, Chen Ping'an said indifferently: "Some of Gao Cheng's words are naturally true, for example, I think that he and I are really all the way, probably because we all rely on gambling again and again, little by little, the spine that was almost crushed and crushed straightened up, and then went higher and higher." Just like you respect Gao Cheng, it is not ambiguous to be able to kill him, even if it is just the loss of Gao Cheng's soul and soul, Sect Master Zhu feels that he has already owed me Chen Ping'an a great favor, and I will not lose sight of his strength just because I am a great enemy of life and death with him. β
Zhu Quan snorted, "As it should be, look at things separately, and then do what you should do." There are a lot of secret things in the sect, I can't tell you outsiders, anyway, it's not easy to inherit this ghost. For example, when I Zhuquan completely killed Gao Cheng and beat Jingguan City to pieces, I will definitely take out a pot of good wine, respect Gao Cheng, the foot soldier of the year, and then respect the current city lord of Jingguan City, and finally respect him Gao Cheng for us to wear hemp to strengthen the Taoist heart. β
Chen Ping'an said: "I don't know why, in this world, there are always people who feel that they have to grin at all the wicked people, what a good thing, and so many people like to talk about things when they should ask their hearts, and when they should talk about things, they should ask their hearts." β
Zhu Quan thought about it, and slapped his palm on Chen Ping'an's shoulder, "Bring the wine, you need two pots, it is better than him Gao Cheng! After drinking the wine, I am talking to you with a few wonderful heartfelt words!"
Chen Ping'an took out two pots of wine, gave them to Zhu Quan, and reminded in a low voice: "When drinking, remember to disperse the wine, otherwise maybe she will wake up, and when she sees me, she will have to be persuaded to let her go to the Bone Beach." This little girl has been hungry for my drinks, not for a day or two. It doesn't hurt that Sect Master Zhu told her directly, the little girl is actually very bold and can't hide the slightest evil thought. β
Zhu Quan drank a pot of wine in one gulp, and there was no wine left in the pot.
It's just that she raised her head and drank, her posture was heroic, and she didn't pay attention to it at all, and the wine poured at least 20%.
Chen Ping'an said helplessly: "Sect Master Zhu, you really have to change your habit of drinking, every time you drink, you have to respect heaven and earth?"
Zhu Quan laughed angrily: "You have already sent me wine, can you manage it?"
Chen Ping'an looked into the distance and said with a smile: "If you can be friends with Sect Master Zhu, it's very good, but if you do business together, you have to cry to death." β
Zhu Quan's expression regained and he was a little serious, "A monk's real strength is not to live comfortably with this world, even if he can stand out from the crowd and stand out. But in addition to preaching immortality, how much has he changed the way of the world...... Even to say a ruthless word on the mountain, whether the result is good or bad, it has nothing to do with good or evil in people's hearts. As long as he changes the world a lot, he is a strong man, and we have to recognize this!"
Chen Ping'an nodded, "After recognizing that they are strong, you dare to punch them, and you are a real strongman." β
Zhu Quan nodded, uncovered the mud seal, this time drinking, began to be diligent and thrifty, just a small sip of drinking, not really changed her temper, but she has always been like this.
When there is a lot of wine, drink heavily, and when there is little wine, drink slowly.
Chen Ping'an turned his head to look at Zhu Quan with a smile and said, "Actually, one of my student disciples once said a sentence that was similar to Sect Master Zhu's. He said that what makes a country really strong is not its ability to cover up its mistakes, but its ability to correct them. β
Zhu Quan said with a smile: "I don't care about the things under the mountain, in this life, dealing with a high inheritance in a ghost valley is enough for me to drink a pot." However, after the Phi Ma Sect, Du Wensi and Pang Lanxi will definitely do better than me. You'll have to wait and see. β
Zhu Quan exhaled heavily and asked: "There are some things that will be embarrassing to say, I still ask, otherwise it will not be happy in my heart, rather than making myself unhappy, it is better to let your kid follow with me, otherwise it will be useless for me to drink too much wine." You said you could give Jingguancheng an accident, this matter was said at the beginning, it's true, I naturally can't guess what you will do, I don't care, anyway, you kid don't say anything else, do things, or be steady, be ruthless to others, but the most ruthless is to yourself. In this way, you really can't complain about that little Xuandu Guandaoist, and you are worried that you will become the second Gao Cheng, or form an alliance with Gao Cheng. β
Chen Ping'an nodded and said: "I can understand this kind of seemingly human thought, but I don't accept it." β
Zhu Quan asked bluntly: "Then at that time, Gao Cheng used the matter of turtle Ling paste to coerce you into taking out this flying sword on your shoulder, were you really deceived by him?"
Chen Ping'an nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes." So in the future, I will think more about a Jade Pu Realm monk's magical powers other than killing. β
Zhu Quan asked: "Then you made a decision between the first year of junior high school and the little girl, and at that thought, you gave up the first day of junior high school and saved the little girl?"
Chen Ping'an still nodded, "Otherwise, the little girl is dead, where can I find her?"
Chen Ping'an narrowed his eyes and smiled unfamiliarly, "Do you know, how much I hoped that Gao Cheng would take the flying sword away so that I could do something that I had never done in so many years of life and death, something that I had never done once, but it was something that everyone on and off the mountain liked very much and thought was a matter of course!"
Chen Ping'an stretched out his hand to the center of his eyebrows, and after his eyebrows were stretched, he moved gently, handed over the little girl in his arms to Zhu Quan, got up slowly, shook his wrist, and quickly rolled up his sleeves.
Chen Ping'an stood on top of the sword immortal, standing in the misty sea of clouds.
Chen Ping'an's eyes were hot, "Gao Cheng can be said to have exhausted all his means, if he really took the flying sword, I, Chen Ping'an, would have no choice, this would be a very interesting thing." Sect Master Zhu, guess what I'll do?"
Zhu Quan hugged the little girl, stood up, and said with a smile: "I can't guess." β
I saw the white-clothed scholar and said eloquently, "I will first let a person named Li Er, who is a martial artist of the Ten Realms, return me a favor and rush to the Bone Beach." I will ask my student disciple, who is only Yuan Ying for the time being, to relieve my husband's worries, and come across the continent to Bone Beach. I will beg someone, it is the first time that I Chen Ping'an has begged someone for so many years! I will beg the old man, who is also the peak of the Ten Realms Martial Dao, to go out of the mountain, leave the bamboo building, and punch Chen Ping'an, who is half a disciple. Since I begged someone, then I don't need to twist it anymore, I will finally ask for a sword cultivator named Zuo Zuo, the little junior brother is in trouble and will die, I implore the senior brother to take out the sword!
Zhu Quan, who was the dignified sect master of the Drape Sect and dared to use his sword to Gao Cheng without stopping, actually felt a trace of ...... Fear.
In that young man, there is a pure aura that has nothing to do with good and evil.
The man raised a hand high, stomped his foot, and stepped on the sword immortal of the half-immortal soldier straight down, only to hear him say indifferently: "If Gao Cheng is not dead, and even runs out of the Ascension Realm one or two backers, it doesn't matter." I don't have to ask anyone, I don't ask anyone. β
Zhu Quan saw the man laugh loudly, and finally spoke softly, as if whispering to someone, "I have a sword, go with me." β
The sword immortal who the demi-immortal soldier originally wanted to snatch back didn't dare to get close at all, hovering far away at the edge of the sea of clouds.
But in the end, Zhu Quan saw the man, lowered his head, looked at the rolled up sleeves, and wept silently, and then he slowly raised his left hand, grabbed one sleeve, and choked up: "Mr. Qi died because of me, the person in the world who should not let him down the most, isn't it me Chen Ping'an? β
