Chapter 231: Sermon

Rain of swords, this is the real rain of swords.

The rain and ice are frozen in the air, stalkless and bladeless, more like slender sharp cones, they are densely slapped in the air, like hovering water birds, through the cold air of the forest to the bone.

In the thousands of rain lines falling in the air, Lin Shouxi hung in the air, like a marionette.

Xiao He stood on the edge of the deep pit, his clear pupils reflecting the sword light in the sky.

"Drive away the clouds and spread the rain, control the heavens with your heart, you have practiced this kind of magic power yourself, but what you taught me is the defective product that was renamed the Snow Flowing Cloud Sword Sutra, what a good senior brother." Xiao He said coldly.

Lin Shouxi has the law of water and wind in the White Pupil and Black Phoenix Sword Sutra, and at this moment, it is raining heavily in the sky, and he is in it, which can be said to be the right time and place.

"If you want to learn, I'll teach you now." Lin Shouxi said softly.

Xiao He snorted lightly, did not respond immediately, she took a step forward, the wind around her body, blowing away the rain around her body, as her movements continued, the wind continued to become more and more urgent, making a crackling sound, her momentum was rising, and she came to the peak in a blink of an eye.

"You want to teach, but I don't want to learn yet."

Xiao He exhaled softly, and at the same time punched the air, like a thousand pounds.

If the disciples of the Guzhen Sect were here, they would be surprised, the momentum of the girl's punch was very similar to the punch of the palace language of the day, although it was far less free than the Daomen master, but the momentum alone was already faintly comparable!

When the sword rain fell, Xiao He's fist had already risen, and the rain curtain was reversed.

The rain that rolled back was like a finer sword.

Swords collide with swords in mid-air.

Huge, rippling ripples rippled through the air, like an autumn wind sweeping the leaves, and the low bushes on the ground were easily torn apart and lined aside.

With just one punch, most of the rain swords that had been lined up in the previous mighty row were shattered.

Xiao He was still puzzled, stepped on the ground, his body suddenly pulled up, and shot out like a cannon, punching the remaining rain sword.

Lin Shouxi pointed in front of him, pressed down gently, and the fine jade sword converged into a giant sword, trying to block Xiao He's attack.

It was only stopped for a moment.

In an instant, the crack flew away on the rain sword, falling apart at a rapid pace, falling to the ground like a smoothie. Xiao He's figure broke out of the rain, and in an instant came to Lin Shouxi's face, and waved his fist again.

After this punch, the rain around Lin Shouxi's body was completely emptied, and the water was lost, and the power of the law was short-circuited, and Lin Shouxi fell to the ground again.

In the gap between the rain falling again, Xiao He chased after him, and every time he took a step, dozens of fierce fists would explode, hitting Lin Shouxi from all directions.

The girl's slender pale fist collided with the air and the heavy rain, and it made a loud sound like a heavy drum.

The rain curtain rocks crumbled, and the trees broke at the waist.

Lin Shouxi is still guarding, and he has integrated the standing armor and sword technique as a swordsmanship into the fist and foot exercises, and his body is like iron. Rao was like this, hundreds of punches were added at the same time, and his skin still vibrated endlessly, like countless ripples like rain hitting the surface of a lake.

After exhausting his breath, Xiao He retracted his fist again, and his breath circulated in his body again.

The rain that had been hollowed out fell again.

Xiao He relied on a very high realm, his fists opened and closed, the ground shook the mountains, and the torrential rain retreated, while Lin Shouxi relied on the white pupils and black phoenix sword scriptures to avoid the charm in the rain, and relied on the hard physique to support him, as if he wanted to consume Xiao He's strength.

After just a short rest, the boy and the girl collided again in the rain and got entangled together.

From Wudang Mountain to Wudang Mountain, they kept their fists and feet, as if they had endless strength.

The head of Wudang Mountain swept down the stairs of the mountain and came to the foot of the mountain, but they could only see the white heavy rain and hear the sound of explosions from time to time...... The sound of battle flickered far and near in the rain, and it was impossible to distinguish it!

"Shou Shou Shou, do you just know how to keep it?! How long are you going to keep it? You will only defend, you will only avoid, you must be cornered before you are willing to fight back? Xiao He punched sideways, and when he was about to stop, he turned his fist into an elbow and slammed into Lin Shouxi's chest.

Lin Shouxi took two steps back, turned his arm and stretched out his palm, and grabbed the elbow that was hit, he pushed hard, and the back of his hand was full of green tendons, "My realm is not as good as you, rashly attacking is just selling a flaw for nothing, if you are really strong enough, you will break up my breath." ”

"Heh, defend instead of attack?" Xiao He's attack was pushed away, she sneered, and immediately pounced again, punching head-on with a blow, without any fancy, "Don't pretend, I know what you're thinking, you don't want to hurt me, you want me to beat me up and have fun, until I'm exhausted, and make me feel pity, right?" ”

The fist hit Lin Shouxi's body firmly.

"Answer me, right?" Xiao He drank again.

Lin Shouxi's arms were slightly wrong, he blocked the punch, and was pushed by Xiao He and slid backwards and hit a big tree behind him.

The trunk was torn, and the girl's question was deafening, but he could not give a convincing answer.

Xiao He pressed him tightly against the tree, leaned forward, her cheeks were almost close to him, the girl's eyes were stern and bloodshot, she stared at Lin Shouxi's eyes tightly, and asked in an astringent voice: "You have hurt me so spiritually, why do you pretend to be beaten on this body?" What are you loading? What's it for! If you don't give it your all, I won't pity you, I will only hate you! ”

Xiao He screamed so hard.

The ancient tree that Lin Shouxi was leaning against was broken by the force and fell to the ground, Lin Shouxi stepped on the stump at the fracture with his feet, hugged his arms roundly, and then pushed the girl out, "Xiao He, if you compete in martial arts, I will volunteer to accompany you, but between us, ...... Is this necessary? ”

"Absolutely!" Xiao He fell to the ground abruptly, she changed her breath and attacked again, her stretched figure was like a leopard, "My realm is higher than yours, and my cultivation is more bitter than yours, if I can't win against you, how can I prove my martial arts?!" ”

In the end of the word Dao, the fist exploded again.

The wind grew out of nothing, stirring and sending Lin Shouxi flying into the depths of the dense forest, crashing into the tall trees that stood like giants.

"Fight back! Fight back! Do you want to be beaten to death?! ”

Xiao He looked ahead steadily, his eyes were like a sword, and his voice was hoarse.

They had been fighting at the foot of Wudang Mountain for more than an hour, she couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest, and she didn't know where she was at the moment, the rain that fell was filtered by the canopy of the trees at a high place, and it was sparse, but it still wet her long hair and dress.

The battle went on for so long that they didn't have the strength to stop the rain.

Xiao He also regained her true appearance, she stood in the rain, her snow-haired white dress, her eyebrows were pale in color, and she looked weak, her clammy and cold dress stood on her slender arms and calves, and the rain flowed down the arc of her legs. No one would believe that this petite body actually hides the power of the Cloud Breaking Stone.

Xiao He walked in front of Lin Shouxi, pressed him against the trunk again, and smiled coldly, "If you don't shoot at a woman, is it a righteous gentleman?" Don't forget, I'm your enemy now, the enemy! Of course, you can also say something about defending with all your might, but you should know very well in your heart that you just want to get a touch, this move can't move me, it can only move yourself! You want me to beat you, keep beating you, right? ”

The trees shook, and the rain fell in large balls, and the leaves were pots, which were real downpours, and they both looked like wild ghosts lost in the woods.

Lin Shouxi raised his head, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

This confusion was accurately captured by Xiao He, "I said yes, right, you have suffered so much before, you peeled your skin and cramped, forged your body and refined your soul, and cultivated such a skin, is it just to be beaten and greedily enjoy a false touch?" This is too much to do! ”

Xiao He's questioning resounded in her heart, she was not just verbally tortured, along with it, there was also her fist - the punch that hit Lin Shouxi's face, like a fist like opening a mountain and a town!

The fist stopped in front of Lin Shouxi, unable to advance an inch.

Lin Shouxi didn't know when he raised his hand, took the punch, and clenched his five fingers at the same time, wrapping Xiao He's fist tightly.

His hand was surprisingly steady, and he didn't tremble at all.

He gritted his teeth, and in an instant, the young man's body swelled, and a majestic true qi condensed from his other hand, turned into a fist, and smashed at the girl, who was forced to twist her wrist and draw her fist, retreating and retreating, avoiding its edge.

The two of them instantly pulled away dozens of feet away.

Xiao He's eyes flashed with a different color.

Lin Shouxi said that he sometimes uses his sword to rely on inspiration, if the boxing method also follows this principle, then his punch is almost a flash of inspiration!

Xiao He raised his head and looked into the distance after standing still.

He did not pursue.

Lin Shouxi leaned against the big tree, his breath returned to calm after the violent ups and downs, the rain fell, he dusted his clothes like dust, raised his head, and his face was blurred in the rain.

"You're right, I've never been a gentleman."

After a long time, Lin Shouxi finally spoke, smiling sadly, "I've always been a hypocrite. ”

……

"Master, what is a gentleman?"

The memory went back to his childhood, when Lin Shouxi was still very young, carved like a girl, and the senior brothers called him junior sister with a smile, at that time he walked up to the master and asked this question.

"Gentleman, ......"

The master pondered for a while, and always felt that it was a little inappropriate to say the answer as the master of the Demon Gate, so he asked the senior brother to pick out a few books, threw them to Lin Shouxi, and said, "The answer is inside." ”

"What kind of book is this?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"These are the words of a saint." Master replied.

"Saints? And what is a saint? ”

"The one with the highest wisdom and the most virtuous throughout the ages can be called a saint, he is still above the gentleman, he should be able to give you the answer, if you can't find the answer, it means that you don't have enough understanding, if you don't have enough understanding, just reflect on it, don't bother the master." Master said earnestly.

The young Lin Shouxi was like a treasure, and left with the book, picking up the lamp and reading it all night.

At that time, he was already literate and had no difficulty reading.

"The gentleman is not compared, and the villain is not compared."

"The gentleman is frank, and the villain is a relative."

"The beauty of a gentleman as an adult, but the evil of an adult. The villain is the opposite. ”

“……”

The sound of reading sounded from his room, and there was a hint of doubt in Lang Lang's recitation.

Sure enough, not only did he care about the gentleman and the villain, but the saint also cared, and he also wrote a lot of sentences that have been passed down through the ages, which were neatly written in the book, and after staring at them for a long time, Lin Shouxi couldn't tell whether this was ethics or morality, or dogma and law.

As long as you do this, can you become a gentleman?

As a child, he thought so.

A few days later, he returned the book to Master.

"Have you found the answer?" Master asked.

"Maybe." Lin Shouxi replied.

"You want to be a gentleman?" Master frowned and asked.

"I want to be a saint." The young Lin Shouxi said in a childish voice that he didn't know what a saint was at that time, but only felt that the word was majestic and sacred, as if it symbolized some kind of eternal order...... He was attached to the word.

But soon, Lin Shouxi forgot about it.

He thought he had forgotten.

Today, many years later, Lin Shouxi recalled the past in the dense forest under Wudang Mountain, and suddenly woke up to the fact that the word "gentleman" has always been imprinted on him, he often said that he was a righteous gentleman, and he himself thought that he was joking with people, and only now did he understand that he had always been bound inside.

If you can be a gentleman for a lifetime, there is nothing bad about it, and you can also be a true gentleman. But he couldn't do it.

Even though he has a bizarre background and a strong physique, he is still a person, a person with seven emotions and six desires.

He was born extremely beautiful, born innocent, and everyone who saw him would think that this was a clear immortal body, the body of a saint, even Luo Chu'e couldn't see what his sin was...... Over time, he himself thought so and believed it as the truth.

I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain.

When he suppressed evil thoughts, evil thoughts also kept coming up in the suppression, but every time it flashed in a moment, it would be instantly extinguished, and he used the harsh laws of masochism to abide by the morality in his heart, and from this he got another kind of satisfaction and pleasure...... It goes on and on. This seemingly beautiful cycle was later broken, completely broken and crushed by the life and death of the immortal country!

In the past, even if he tried his best to sit and look at himself, he couldn't see his true self clearly, until today, Xiao He's words were like a sharp sword, and finally cut his heart, allowing him to see the black blood clot that had long congealed into a thick inside, which was an evil thought that had been accumulated for many years and he never dared to face it.

So bloody.

Oh, yes...... Looking back now, he discovered the existence of this evil thought when he was a child and was terrified of it. Evil thoughts are the embodiment of desire, everyone has them, and he shouldn't be afraid, but he has been different from ordinary people since he was a child, so he is afraid of everyone, so he will ask the master about the way of a gentleman, trying to find a power of liberation from it.

But he searched through the ancient books, and only found the law, the law of the saints.

The law was just words, but he felt oppressed, suffocating in it.

Is this repression the way of a gentleman?

Or a thief of gentlemen......

"I am who I am, why do I need to be disciplined by saints, why do I need to be influenced by Taoism?"

In his heart, Lin Shouxi muttered to himself.

……

"Hypocrite?" Xiao He frowned and asked coldly, "Are you giving up on yourself?" To generously admit that you are a hypocrite, to allow evil thoughts to flee and do evil, this is not freedom, this is a deeper depravity! ”

"I know." Lin Shouxi said calmly: "I have never denied my mistakes, and I understand that once such mistakes are planted, they can never really be made up. ”

He will no longer seek explanations, and he knows that if he really wants to exculpate, he can always take the truth out of context from the texts of the sages and sages, and annotate the Six Classics as a false perfection.

This is self-deception.

Xiao He's silver teeth bit lightly, his expression trembled slightly, and he said coldly: "It's good that you know." ”

The rain fell between the two of them, and there was no pause for a moment because of them.

Lin Shouxi left the trunk of the tree and walked towards Xiao He.

The spine and ribs under the young man's black clothes made a fierce explosion, like a fish flipping its back, and fist intent poured out of it.

"I like you." Lin Shouxi walked up to her and said word by word.

"What are you doing now?" Xiao He frowned even tighter, thinking that he was a little crazy.

"I want to tell you that my affection for you is never obsession or trauma, but love." Lin Shouxi was clear and looked solemn, as if he was talking about a big thing.

"Empty words." Xiao He snorted coldly and asked, "How do you want to prove it?" ”

"I don't know." Lin Shouxi shook his head sincerely, paused, and said, "If today, you want to use the battle as proof, then next, I will do my best and take it as my heart." ”

"At this time, you haven't forgotten to be clever and colorful?" Xiao He's fist under her sleeve clenched instantly, she bit her blood-fading lip, and said angrily: "I thought you were enlightened, but now it seems, hum...... The country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change! ”

"You can think about it, anyway...... I'm not going to let you go today. Lin Shouxi said gently: "I don't want to regret it for the rest of my life." ”

Xiao He was reluctant to meet such a gaze, which would make her upset, she gritted her teeth and said coldly: "Begging for a beating!" ”

The qi pill turned, the real air flowed, the girl's white skirt bulged, and her fist was wrapped in the majestic true qi again, and it exploded.

……

The rain fell like the sky fell.

At the foot of Wudang Mountain, the wind and thunder are agitated.

Throughout the history of this world, this is the most fierce martial arts battle, surpassing the battle of the dead city that no one witnessed at the beginning.

Gong Yu and the heads of the house stood in the wind and rain, looking into the distance.

This time, they really fought, as if they had been enemies for several lifetimes, accumulating deep hatred that could not be resolved, and did not leave any more strength.

No one but Gong Yu could see the battle clearly, and they could only see the thunder and lightning snaking down into the woods, startling a raging fire, which burned for a while, and then extinguished by the torrential rain, and so on, and so on, and so on, and the giant trees were knocked down one after another, and their battlefield was swept away in the dense forest, and they climbed up hills, leaped into lakes, and rolled into swamps, and where they passed, the rain curtains rolled up into the sky from time to time, like waves erected by a flat wall.

They don't know how many hours they have been fighting, but they still have the strength to spare, and this kind of realm cultivation makes the other heads present daunting, only as if they are seeing heaven and man!

At the foot of Wudang Mountain, there are traces left by them everywhere.

They themselves don't know how long they fought.

Sometimes it was Xiao He who punched him in the face and smashed half of him into the mud, sometimes it was Lin Shouxi who pressed her forehead and pressed her on the giant tree, sometimes Xiao He fell to the big tree and swept over like a cane, beating Lin Shouxi to the back of the horse, and sometimes Lin Shouxi gathered the lake water as a stick, pressed Xiao He's shoulder, and made the girl kneel to the ground.

What's more, they also fought hand-to-hand, hugged each other, and rolled into the swamp together, Lin Shouxi's black clothes were still dirty, but Xiao He's skirt was instantly full of mud, they didn't care about this, there was only one thought of fighting in their minds, they fought in a mess in the swamp, like Nuwa's newly pinched little clay figure.

They roared, fought, vented, tried their best, exhausted all their means, and the emotions that had been pent up in their hearts for months were released heartily in the battle!

It's not a heart-to-heart collision, it's just a skin-to-skin impact, but they can all clearly hear each other's inner roars, which is the sound of the snow waterfall flying through the sky, like the heavenly river falling, and it is better than the heavy rain that leaks from the sky.

They are like one person.

I don't know how long it took.

Xiao He's arrogant realm and strength were exhausted in the battle, and Lin Shouxi's incomparable physique also began to loosen in the beating of the girl's fist, as if he was about to burst the embankment at any time.

Under the mountains.

A certain moment.

The boy and the girl jumped up at the same time and collided with each other.

The rainstorm engulfed everything.

Looking down from the heights, on the messy ground, the demobilized boys and maidens lay on their backs, and the rain fell on them, into their empty eyes, and washed them like a reef.

"I won't...... Let you go. Lin Shouxi didn't seem to be conscious, he was in severe pain, and he could only repeat this sentence.

"This ...... I can't help you. Xiao He's response was still very cold.

Lin Shouxi tried his best to turn over, he looked at the face of the girl lying beside him, and reached out tremblingly, passing through her armpits and the back of her neck, and his hands and feet twisted her in a unique way, so imprisoned. This is a commonly used locking martial art on the rivers and lakes, once the opponent is subdued in this way, it is almost impossible for the opponent to break free.

Xiao He didn't resist, and let him entangle himself like this.

She didn't give up on resistance.

"Childish......" Xiao He opened his mouth softly, his lips twitching: "As long as I want, I can completely defeat you at any time." ”

"Really?" Lin Shouxi asked rhetorically and said calmly: "You can try." ”

Xiao He was slightly confused.

She had a divine order to order Lin Shouxi at will, she didn't want to break the fairness of this battle before, so she didn't use it, but she knew that once she used it, the balance of victory would be absolutely tilted. She didn't know where Lin Shouxi's confidence came from.

"Let go of me!" Xiao He gave the order.

The unexpected happened.

Xiao He gave the order, but Lin Shouxi did not let her go, but locked her tighter.

Xiao He didn't ask why, because she heard the crunch of a dislocated bone.

- Lin Shouxi actually took the initiative to dislocate his bones, so that he couldn't control his body, so as to restrain her!

"Are you crazy?!" Xiao He's voice suddenly became stern.

"I said, I wouldn't let you go." Lin Shouxi just smiled.

Xiao He still wanted to reprimand, but the cold words could no longer be spoken, and the rain poured on them, and she faced the sky and shed tears.

"Why ......"

Xiao He's eyes were red, and his voice was light and hoarse: "You obviously betrayed me, why do you still like me...... Why...... What am I in your heart? ”

The wind swept through the forest in a sad way.

The rain was like a whip, whipping Lin Shouxi's back.

If it was in the past, Lin Shouxi might have thought for a long time, and then gave a beautiful but not accurate answer.

Today, he did not hesitate at all.

"You are my way." He said.
