Chapter 12: Betting
Elder Liu left quietly, Liu Yan was left alone in Fengmingxuan, at this moment, he looked very embarrassed, sitting there quietly, motionless, as if immersed in Elder Liu's words just now, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
Elder Liu's words to Liu Yan were not unreasonable. In this world where you can lose your life anytime and anywhere, you have to guard against it, maybe you are alive this second, maybe the next moment, your life is not yours, so if you have enough strength, then you don't have to worry.
At this time, Liu Yan was awakened by a word, silently exercised, his black eyes slowly closed, adjusted his own injuries, and slowly the wounds continued to recover, and gradually healed.
The moonlight dimmed, and the injuries on Liu Yan's body began to recover, but his closed eyes never opened, where he sits, sitting cross-legged, maybe too tired, exhausted, such a quiet atmosphere was not broken until the first rays of sunlight rose.
In the early morning, everyone was snoring and snoring. The fresh air, the refreshing sunshine, it seems that they can't enjoy it, they can only smell the exhaust fumes of their own bedding.
And on the side of the green bamboo forest, the emerald bamboo, is enjoying the warmth, the wind is blowing the bamboo leaves, at this time, wearing gray clothes, holding a long sword, a handsome and fresh young man, from the green bamboo forest, walked out unhurriedly, the smile on his face, can not hide his happy mood at all.
Wanli got up early in the morning and found that Xu Jie's figure was missing, and guessed that he must have gone to practice swordsmanship, this sword fan, as soon as he has time, he will wield swordsmanship, and it is enough to fight, Wanli is accustomed to all this, so he has to be alone and clean the courtyard. Wan Li couldn't help but be a little unhappy on the surface, but he never blamed Xu Jie, he understood Xu Jie, Xiaotan couldn't trap Jiaolong, because it had the ambition to run to the sea, wasn't that Jiaolong Xu Jie?
Time is passing, thousands of miles have been cleaned, now the courtyard inside and outside, never see a fallen leaf, just before finishing, a bamboo leaf, fluttering in the air, slowly falling, thousands of miles of eyes, smack, it is already in the air, holding the bamboo leaf that is just about to fall, the heart is happy, finally completed.
Wan Li was laughing and walking towards the house, but at this moment, a demon wind rose up, blowing the bamboo leaves desperately, everything that should have fallen and what should not have fallen, with the annoying wind, it also fell slowly, Wan Li's mood plummeted, and he roared angrily, what kind of weather is this, it is obviously sunny, how can the wind blow! God doesn't know my brother's hard work?
After saying that, Wan Li didn't care about all this, found a book in the house, studied it carefully, and only heard, "The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds and starve their bodies." This is exactly what Confucianism is, and it is extremely beneficial for governing the country.
Wan Li wholeheartedly admires Confucianism, advocates the use of benevolence, righteousness, and etiquette to maintain the stability of the country, disgusts the completion of the law, torture, tired of the king's reckless military force, is not conducive to the people, he does not respect, he believes that the monarch is a boat, the people are water, water can carry a boat, can also overturn a boat.
Just when Wanli was thrown into it, an afterimage appeared, maybe Wanli was too focused and didn't notice it, the afterimage, stretched out a hand, and patted Wanli's shoulder, Wanli felt a trace of danger, immediately turned around, stretched out his hands, and slapped out the palm force, and the other pair of palms, handed over together, and soon Wanli found out that this person was Xu Jie, so he put away his skills.
Xu Jie shouted, I really didn't expect you to be so devoted, I came in for a long time, and you didn't even notice it, if it was an enemy, maybe you would have fallen to the ground.
Wanli snorted and sneered, I was thinking about the problem just now, and I got carried away, and yes, I smelled a familiar smell, pretending that it didn't happen, hehe!
Xu Jie's face was full of sadness, don't you pretend to die? Obviously in a daze, ignoring the surroundings, he actually said, thinking about it, and still pretending that it didn't happen, you didn't feel it at all, aren't you teasing me?
Forget it, Wan Li said hee-hee, by the way, how are you cultivating today? Do you have the confidence to break through the seventh rank of the sword disciple.
Xu Jie said in frustration, when he first went out to practice, he was sitting cross-legged on the stone, closing his eyes and recuperating, intending to enter the state, when suddenly the sky became pitch black, originally clear, covered by dark clouds, and then the wind blew fiercely, blowing around whirring, this is how to cultivate.
So, Xu Jie came back very unhappy, as soon as he entered the door, he saw where you didn't know what to do, and he was not in a good mood at this time, so he wanted to tease you and amuse, who knew that as soon as you turned around, he used all his strength, and almost killed me, and now my mood instantly entered a trough.
Can you blame me, Wan Li exclaimed with a sigh of relief, I was concentrating on studying statecraft, and you interrupted me, making me very unhappy at this moment.
Just as Xu Jie and Wan Li were discussing passionately, Liu Yan came, and heard the quarrel between the two from a distance, and shouted, What are you two doing?
Xu Jie shouted, I don't want to mention it, in short, it's all because of this weather, unpredictable, very unpleasant, he is strong enough to make this day, with me, his tone is full of arrogance and ambition.
Liu Yan said that he slapped his hand, okay, it's good to be ambitious, but you can't say it without evidence, if you don't realize it, you can slap it in your face. Since you are so energetic, it just so happens that I also want to make a bet with you, about the bet on strength, about the election of the four protectors of the law, you are interested, now I am not eager to improve my skills, since that fight with you, I have learned that if you want to be invincible, your strength must be infinitely strong, otherwise it will be difficult to be convincing. Coincidentally, after going back, I was also taught a lesson by Lao Tzu, which gave me a deep understanding of this world.
Strength is everything.
Xu Jie was infinitely happy, and promised, this can be had, what kind of gambling method, I also want to improve my cultivation, lack of motivation, you pay attention to mention it just right.
Liu Yan said directly, I won't tell you, as long as anyone is selected for the next four protectors, they will be cultivated by the sect, and they will have more cultivation resources, and they will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort to improve their skills, and they can be sure to be selected.
Xu Jie's fighting spirit was in full swing, and he said loudly, No problem, the fifteen-day sect test begins, I will definitely get one of the seats, don't look at me with envy when the time comes!
Liu Yan replied, since you are so confident, then this bet, I will make a request, if one of us is not selected, we can ask the other party to do one thing, what do you think?
Well, yes, no problem, as long as the conditions are reasonable and not harsh, it's okay, but I don't think I will lose, I will definitely get a seat, and I will do what I say, this is my Xu Jie.
Liu Yan smiled and said, Okay, then I'll wait for your good news, see you again in the future, I hope to see you differently, I hope to see you covered with luster.
