Chapter 056: Grief for the Dead
Sun Sect General Altar, in front of Zhao Xi's coffin, Liu Sect Master was furious, Liu Zhaohui and Zhuang Zhaoxue stood solemnly, and Liu Hanyan locked himself in the boudoir and washed his face with tears.
"Xi'er, what's wrong with you? Why did you just leave like this? …… That year, I recovered from my injuries and returned to Rizhao, passing by a small fishing village, I heard you crying, and I found you by following the sound, but my poor mother had lost her breath, and you were still crying on her, I finally picked you up, brought you back to the Sun Sect, and let your Aunt Yang take you......
Sect Leader Liu said as he spoke, crying silently: "...... For so many years, you have always been loyal, with me from birth to death, although you don't talk much, and your temperament is cold and arrogant, but I just like this kind of character, I didn't expect it...... but you went before me. What Wenchang Pavilion, a group of street gangsters, Master will definitely avenge you and destroy them all over the house!. ”
Liu Zhaohui also burst into tears, gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, I'll take someone to exterminate Wenchang Pavilion now." Zhuang Zhaoxue hurriedly said: "Master, at the current time of the competition, we still need to act cautiously, everything will be said after the competition, Wenchang Pavilion is only a hundred miles away, we can go and destroy them at any time." ”
Sect Leader Liu wiped a handful of tears, and said for a while: "Xue'er is right, tomorrow, we will cremate Xi'er first, I will scatter him into the sea, Xi'er has not been far away, even the last time he went to Nanjing, he also hurried back, I know he likes the sea......" Speaking of this, I couldn't help but shed tears again, "Hui'er, you go out and tell the disciples of the main altar that Xi'er is killed, don't say it, so as not to have another accident, and those who violate the order will be expelled from the sect." ”
Liu Zhaohui nodded and went out. Sect Leader Liu sighed: "Xue'er, I know that you and Hui'er love each other, and I also like your cleverness, poor Xi'er, but it's wishful thinking for Yan'er. ”
Zhuang Zhaoxue's eyes were red: "Master, Senior Sister Yan has told me many times that she just regards Senior Brother Zhao as her brother, and she is also very sad about Senior Brother Zhao's death...... I'll have to persuade her. ”
Sect Leader Liu nodded: "Yan'er has been spoiled by me since she was a child, but it's an emotional thing...... Over the years, your Yang Shiniang has been depressed, and finally died of depression, more than two years, I think about it very guilty. Alas...... Xue'er, you go, I'll accompany Xi'er again......"
Zhuang Zhaoxue retreated in response, walked into Liu Hanyan's boudoir, and saw her lying on the bed, crying bitterly. Zhuang Zhaoxue hugged her and cried: "Senior Sister Yan, don't be sad anymore, Senior Brother Zhao doesn't want to see you so sad." ”
Liu Hanyan hugged Zhuang Zhaoxue and cried. Zhuang Zhaoxue wiped away her tears and persuaded: "Senior Sister Yan, don't be sad, take care of your spirits, and we will avenge Senior Brother Zhao." When Liu Hanyan heard this, as if he was reminded, he stood up and rushed to the door, Zhuang Zhaoxue grabbed her and asked, "Why are you going?" ”
Liu Hanyan shouted: "I want to avenge Senior Brother Zhao!" Kill those things that are not as good as pigs and dogs. "Senior Sister Yan, can you stop being impulsive? Everything is arranged by the Master. Zhuang Zhaoxue forced Liu Hanyan back to the room, and said, "After this incident, you have to learn a lesson, you can no longer be willful when you encounter problems, and you must learn to control yourself." ”
Liu Hanyan lowered his head and was silent, stopped for a moment and cried again: "Senior Sister Xue, Senior Brother Zhao died because of me, how can I, how can I control it?" "But if you want to avenge him, you can't do it out of your temperament. Senior Sister Yan, I'll accompany you to relax and go see Aunt Lin and Wang Gongzi. Zhuang Zhaoxue pulled her out of the door.
Lin Meiying listened to what the two of them said, she was very sad, although she didn't have a good impression of Zhao Xi, she also felt that he was very pitiful. Wang Hou asked, "Yan'er, listening to what Miss Zhuang said just now, Brother Zhao died to save you?" Seeing that Liu Hanyan nodded, he comforted her, "Brother Zhao can treat you like this, even under Jiuquan, you must be able to look at it." You must not hurt yourself, lest he worry about you again. ”
Lin Meiying comforted: "Yan'er, Miss Zhuang, don't be too sad, this river and lake is indispensable to fight and kill, you must learn to protect yourself in the future, and you can't be rash." ”
Wang Hou was stunned when he heard this, and said secretly: "Senior Liu Chu wants me to sail the world and promote morality, but what Aunt Lin just said, the fights and killings on the rivers and lakes are really normal, who is right and who is wrong?" As far as Zhao Xi is concerned, he died at the hands of others, if I was there at the time, I would definitely come to the rescue, but I represent justice? …… What is charlatan morality? ”
Lin Meiying saw that his expression was different, and asked, "Hou'er, what's wrong with you?" What are you thinking? Wang Hou came back to his senses: "Aunt Lin, I'm thinking about something, a senior asked me to promote morality in the rivers and lakes, but I don't know what morality is at all?" ”
Lin Meiying thought for a moment and replied: "Morality, I think it should be something beneficial to most people, but the most fundamental thing is that you can survive first, Hou'er, if you can't even save your life on the rivers and lakes, what else can you talk about promoting morality?" ”
Wang Hou frowned, and said for a while: "Aunt Lin, I understand." The fight between Zhao Xi and Fan Pavilion Master was caused by the arrogance of Wenchang Pavilion, in other words, if it wasn't for Yan'er and Miss Zhuang who were present at that time, if they were replaced by someone else, they would also be bullied by them. ”
"If only you could think like that." Lin Meiying asked Zhuang Zhaoxue again, "If something like this happens, who will replace Zhao Xi in the competition three days later?" Zhuang Zhaoxue said: "I don't know what Master thinks, there is no better candidate now, if Aunt Lin is willing to help, it is the best candidate." ”
Lin Meiying shook her head and said, "Then what's the matter, I can't come out of that head, otherwise the Sun Church will attract a lot of gossip." I think if Hou'er is willing to make a move, it will be a sure victory. Wang Hou waved his hand again and again: "Aunt Lin, don't scare me, if it is a competition to sing poems and paint, I can play." ”
Zhuang Zhaoxue also said: "Aunt Lin, in the first round of the game, it was all hard fighting, and Wang Gongzi was not suitable, but if we can enter the second round of the competition, Wang Gongzi is not afraid of toxicity, but he can help." After all, the second round is about wisdom and luck, not just fighting. ”
"Then I can't, I don't know anything about the sea, and my eyeballs almost fell into the sea." Wang Hou's words made Liu Hanyan's mood slightly better, and asked, "Nerd, are you still not convinced?" Wang Hou nodded again and again: "Convincing, convincing!" Serve a thousand angry ......" Before he finished speaking, he was already twisted by Liu Hanyan's ears: "Still convincing, just like you, a fool can see that a thousand are not convinced." ”
On the afternoon of the second day, Sect Leader Liu cremated Zhao Xi and personally scattered his ashes into the sea. Standing on the boat, Sect Master Liu muttered to himself: "Xi'er, seventeen years ago, your father was buried here because of the sea fog, and today I brought you to accompany him, and your father and son are reunited...... Rest in peace. ”
When he came back from the sea, Sect Master Liu was sullen and didn't want to say a word, and he didn't eat a grain of rice for dinner. When the lantern was in hand, Zhuang Zhaoxue knocked on the door and came in, and persuaded: "Master, there will be a competition the day after tomorrow, you have to take care of your body and go eat something...... Also, who will replace Senior Brother Zhao in the battle? ”
Sect Leader Liu said, "I don't know who is suitable to fight...... Have the Taoist and the master eaten it? Zhuang Zhaoxue responded: "Well, they have eaten, and now in the tea hall, the senior brother is accompanying them." ”
"I'll go and talk to them." Sect Master Liu came out of the room and came to the teahouse with Zhuang Zhaoxue. In the teahouse, the three monks, the master and apprentice of the big idiot, and Liu Zhaohui are all there. Sect Leader Liu said what he meant, and he said: "I haven't seen Zhuang Yatou do it, but yesterday morning at the door of the breakfast hall, Liu Yatou's shuttle mark made it a little weighty, so it is better to let Liu Yatou fight." ”
Sect Leader Liu said: "Yan'er and Xue'er have the same kung fu, but the girl's strength is weaker after all, and she can't bargain for a little bit in the battle." The monk asked, "Sect Master Liu, where is Wang Hou's little benefactor?" Why haven't you seen him for the past two days? Zhuang Zhaoxue replied: "Master, Wang Gongzi is still living in the inn. ”
The monk sighed lightly: "If he is willing to fight, he will be ten sure." "On the ninth day of the fifth month in Jiuhua Mountain, he failed to see Wang Hou helping Dao Feng win the nine-colored lotus because of poisoning, but after all, he had superb martial arts, and naturally knew that the whereabouts of the nine-colored lotus were related to Wang Hou, and later saw that Guangjing had good etiquette for him, and he was even more convinced that his judgment was good.
Sect Leader Liu said disdainfully: "I have seen with my own eyes that he is not able to walk steadily, wouldn't it be a joke if he went to battle." The monk smiled and stopped talking. Seeing this, Zhuang Zhaoxue said: "The master also knows that in the Huacheng Temple Square that day, we were plotted by the Tianjing Gang, but fortunately, it was Wang Gongzi who was not afraid of toxicity and saved us. So, if we can make it to the second round, he will be able to help against the sea fog. ”
Liu Zhaohui asked Zhang Qingling: "Senior Brother Zhang, how are you, can you fight?" Everyone looked at Zhang Qingling at the same time, and the idiot also asked, "Qingling, what do you say?" Zhang Qingling straightened his waist: "What am I afraid of?" It's a big deal. ”
The big idiot snorted: "What do I want you to do desperately?" If you lose, you lose, it's a big deal to let the old monk make a move, he is very expensive than us. The monk took a sip of the teacup, closing his eyes as if savoring.

In the blink of an eye, the sun was shining, and a ring had been set up in an open space by the sea. The ring was very large, with more than 50 rosewood chairs lined up. In front of the ring is a very wide beach, behind which is the blue sea and sky.
Early in the morning, the beach was crowded with no less than 30,000 people, half of whom were from the four participating teams, and the other half were ordinary people from Rizhao and nearby to see the excitement. On the stage, eight people from each of the four teams were sitting, and after a while, someone heard someone say loudly: "Master Hu has arrived!" ”
