Chapter 35: Renewed Morale
In the afternoon, the sleeping Heroic Spirit had been placed elsewhere, and dozens of people were scattered around, carrying out all kinds of cleaning work.
Dugu Yun was wiping the blood left on the avenue, the blood had turned black, and there was an unpleasant smell, even so, he was still wiping it seriously, and the seriousness at this time was the admiration of the heroic spirit, and it was also a determination to himself. Strong, must be stronger!
He wiped it violently like this, and suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you wipe it like this, you will never be able to wipe the blood stains dry!"
Dugu Yun looked back at him blankly, the beat just now had distracted him, and now he had felt the pain in his hands, it turned out that his fingers had been worn out in the violent wiping just now, he clenched his fists tightly, relying on the spirit that had been improved when he exerted himself to suppress the pain in his hands.
The person who came was Qiu Bing, a cold character, delicate and handsome, but he had a cold face to people all day long, making it difficult for people to approach, and now he could take the initiative to find it, to be honest, Duguyun was very surprised.
Qiu Bing said: "What are you thinking? You are so distracted? According to your wiping method, I am afraid that you will have to wait for your blood to run out before you can wipe off the blood stains on the road." ”
"I don't know what I'm thinking, I just want to wipe this place clean!" Dugu Yun looked at his hand, he clearly felt that the abrasive wound was healing rapidly in the severe pain, stopping the bleeding, closing, and finally magically recovering into a good state, only the residual blood on it proved that the hands had been injured.
"What kind of ability is this?" Dugu Yun's heart was shocked.
"I'm sorry, my clothes have been soiled by me again!" Qiu Bing said apologetically, he pulled his hand away, only to see a bright red bloody handprint printed on Dugu Yun's snow-white robe.
Dugu Yun said: "It's nothing, I have to thank you for the reminder, if it weren't for you, my hands would probably be broken by myself." ”
Qiu Bing smiled, but his cold face really didn't match this smile, making people look sneering, or disdainful, but Duguyun understood, this was laughter, laughing from the heart.
"What you just said is very good, and it makes me feel that it is a very happy thing to stay and die. ”
Dugu Yun said: "Thank you, but I think even if I don't say those words, you are the one who will stay!"
"Oh, how do you say?"
Dugu Yun smiled and said, "Intuition!"
Qiu Bing sneered again, he stared at the long sword on Dugu Yun's waist, and said, "If my intuition is not wrong, this should be a good sword!"
Dugu Yun nodded and said, "That's right, a peerless sword!"
"Oh, what a peerless sword?" Qiu Bing suddenly became interested!
Dugu Yundao pulled out the Floating Cloud Sword and waved it lightly to the ground, and a fine mark appeared on the hard stone slab, and then he put the sword back into the sheath and said, "How about it, this is a good sword, right?"
Qiu Bing nodded and said, "It's really sharp enough, but if it's peerless, I'm afraid it's far from enough!"
"Enough!" Dugu Yun stroked the long sword and said lightly: "There is no second sword with the same meaning in this world, isn't that enough?"
Qiu Bing shook his head and said, "This can only be said to be a unique sword, not peerless. ”
"No, it's a peerless sword. Duguyun said very firmly.
"Why?"
"Because it is me who wears this sword, it is destined to be the first sword in the world!" Duguyun said confidently.
This sword is not simply a sharp weapon, for Duguyun, it represents home, represents relatives, and the mother's voice always surrounds Duguyun's ears that night, "Yun'er, this sword is also a wake-up call for you, if you are lazy outside, you will look at this sword to cut off the meaning of laziness." ”
Now this sword is not only to cut off laziness, but also to kill the high-ranking members of the royal family and drive away the sword of demonic beasts, if you don't be the first person in the world, how can you do all this?
Qiu Bing's face changed slightly, with admiration on his face, but he still stared at Dugu Yun with burning eyes: "No, the number one sword in the world is not with you." ”
"Why?" Duguyun wondered.
Qiu Bing said: "Because I also use swords, the sword in my hand is destined to be the first sword in the world!"
"It's me!" "It's me!" Dugu Yun and Qiu Bing shouted at the same time.
"The first sword in the world is mine!" Two shouts suddenly resounded throughout the square, and everyone who was busy cleaning the square looked in the direction of the sound source, only to see the two white-robed young men staring at each other for a long time, and finally laughing together.
After a while, Lei Daqiang and Zhang Xiaojie ran over, at this time they were no longer afraid, they just looked at Duguyun and the two of them with a confused face, of course, their attention was mainly on Qiu Bing, Duguyun smiled normally, but Qiu Bing was different, he had never said anything at ordinary times, but he was laughing here at the moment, which was really incredible.
Zhang Xiaojie was curious: "How...... How, how, what's wrong, this, this, so happy?" Lei Daqiang also nodded in agreement, indicating that he was equally curious.
Qiu Bing withdrew his smile and returned to coldness.
Dugu Yun said: "Do you have a dream?"
"What do you mean by dreaming?" Why do you say this now?" Lei Daqiang and Zhang Xiaojie were full of questions.
Dugu Yun said: "For example, what do you want to do now?"
"Become stronger, kill the royal family and the demonic beasts!" Lei Daqiang said fiercely.
Zhang Xiaojie spoke slowly, he just nodded again and again, indicating that he and Lei Daqiang had the same meaning.
Dugu Yun shook his head and said, "This is your wish rather than a dream!"
Lei Daqiang was puzzled: "What is a dream?"
Dugu Yun didn't answer, but asked, "Do you know why Qiu Bing and I laughed just now?"
Lei Daqiang and Zhang Xiaojie shook their heads at the same time.
Dugu Yun said: "Because the two of us are competing for the same dream again!"
"What?"
"The number one swordsman in the world!" Dugu Yun said proudly.
The two were stunned, what a grand dream!
"Is this a joke?" Qiu Bing, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
"No!" Lei Daqiang and Zhang Xiaojie shook their heads at the same time.
Dugu Yun said: "Then can you tell me what your dream is?"
Lei Daqiang looked around and said softly: "I want to be the most powerful person, so that I can easily wield my family's Decepticon Hammer." ”
"Louder, why do you act like a woman?" Qiu Bing said coldly.
"I'm going to be the strongest!" roared in a hoarse voice.
"I, I...... I speak very, very, very slowly, so I have to act, I want to, I want to be the fastest, so I, I, I want to be the best, the most, the fastest person in the world!" Zhang Xiaoxuan shouted.
"I am the number one swordsman in this world!" Dugu Yun and Qiu Bing shouted again, and the two of them shouted almost at the same time, and their voices overlapped as if they were shouted by one person.
"Hahaha!" the four looked at each other, laughter roaming the entire square.
Not far away, Lin Chi and his father walked slowly again, but the two of them were no longer wearing the golden robes and black flame robes that represented their status, but they were dressed in white robes, without the majesty of the superiors, but with an ordinary but dusty divine aura.
"Why are you laughing?" said Lin Chi's father, the hall master of the Snow Covered Palace, majestically.
Dugu Yun immediately asked respectfully, "Lord Hall, in this sad environment, why do you think we should laugh?"
The Lin Hall Lord's eyes were burning with a large number of Dugu Yun, since he became the Lord of the Snow Covered Palace, he had forgotten the feeling of being questioned by others, but now he was questioned twice in succession by this young man with a still immature face.
Dugu Yun said: "Does the hall master think that I don't understand the etiquette and avoid your questions again and again?"
The Lin Hall Master also did the same, and asked rhetorically, "Do you think I'm a very unreasonable hall master?"
"No!" Dugu Yun shook his head and continued, "If you were that kind of arrogant and ruthless person, I'm afraid we would have been imprisoned by now!
"En!" Lin Hall Lord nodded and said, "There must be a reason why you can still laugh in this atmosphere, but do you also have to give an explanation to the people present?"
Dugu Yun nodded, turned around and looked around, only to see that the people around him were looking at him blankly, with sadness, sorrow, and anger in their eyes.
It is disrespectful to laugh in front of so many heroic spirits!
These Dugu Yun knew, but he still smiled, because he understood that in this desperate background, if he still kept his sad heart, then he didn't have to wait for the war to start, he would have already been defeated.
At this time, the people around him slowly moved closer to Dugu Yun, and those divine envoys who had been defeated from the front line also slowly approached, the various weapons in their hands shone with cold light, although they were defeated, but the majesty and evil spirit of the elite troops of the temple were by no means imaginable and despised, and the four people who were still laughing at the beginning were now sweating beads on their backs, foreheads, and the tip of their noses, Dugu Yun stared at the people who came around, and the hand holding the hilt of the sword tightened and loosened, and after repeated three times, the cold light had been reflected on his face.
Lei Daqiang and Zhang Xiaojie swallowed saliva at the same time, Qiu Bing's face became more and more cold, and Lin Chi, who was standing behind his father, had a heavy face, the matter had reached an extremely critical juncture, he wanted to speak out, but he couldn't help it, since Duguyun dared to laugh, there must be his reasons, and there must be a way to solve it, Lin Chi chose to believe him.
Duguyun glanced at Lin Chi, the two made eye contact, and Duguyun exhaled deeply!
"Thank you for your trust!"
These words Dugu Yun did not speak, but they were revealed in his demeanor and eyes, and he knew that Lin Chi, who trusted him, would definitely understand.
Taking a deep breath again, Duguyun stood upright and said in a deep voice: "May I ask everyone, what is needed to quell this war?"
The Lord of the Lin Hall raised his hand and motioned for everyone to stop, and everyone suddenly stopped, thought for a while and said in unison: "Strong!"
Dugu Yun nodded with satisfaction, and said loudly: "Then, please tell me, what is the real powerhouse?" Without waiting for anyone to answer, Dugu Yun shouted again: "In my opinion, the real strong man is the one who ignores the pain and the surname, even if death is in front of his eyes, he can laugh wildly." ”
Suddenly, someone in the crowd snorted coldly and sneered: "It seems that you just laughed so loudly to prove that you are a strong person!"
As soon as these words came out, the cold light of the weapon flickered again, if it weren't for the suppression of the hall master, I am afraid that the four of Duguyun would have already been dead on the spot, and blood was splashed for five steps.
At this critical juncture, Qiu Bing suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute, please listen to me!"
At this moment, even though the saber was rattling, everyone still stopped, waiting for Qiu Bing's words.
Qiu Bing said: "The hall master has made it clear that those who are afraid can leave, but we still stay, what does this mean?"
Putting life and death aside, the devastated temple is no longer a god on the top, but a leaf hanging on a dead branch, which may drift to the ground at any moment.
Dugu Yun sighed and said, "As the hall master said, joining the temple is no longer an honor, but choosing to face death, do you think that we still stay just to mock the dead and then be hacked to death by you?"
Lei Daqiang and Zhang Xiaojie straightened up at the same time, for some reason, Dugu Yun and Qiu Bing in front of them seemed to have become an indestructible shield, giving them a strong sense of security.
Dugu Yun took a deep breath again and said loudly: "Since we have stayed, then we are part of the temple, I am sad for the dead heroes, but I am even happier to live with you and fight side by side, you are not defeated by the threat of death, it is my honor to be able to join you, it is you who gave me my dream!" After speaking, Dugu Yun looked back at Qiu Bing and said, "Tell them, what is our dream?"
"Be the strongest!" all three shouted at the same time.
The hall master's gaze froze, his eyes were full of satisfaction, and after a long time, he slowly said, "Is the dream of these four teenagers unique to them?
"Yes, be the strongest!" shouted in unison, and the voices resounded throughout the world.
At this moment, the four of Duguyun have become the hope of the temple, although their strength is no different from ants for the people in this square, but they have ignited the unyielding flame in everyone's hearts and lit up the light of hope!
"All right, the gods obey the commands!" shouted the hall master.
"Yes!" everyone responded in unison!
The Lord of the Forest Hall said in a deep voice: "Ignite the flame in your hearts, summon the light of purification, and send the heroic spirits who have completed the divine mission to heaven, let them be at peace!"
"Yes!"
As soon as the words fell, the Lord of the Forest Hall took the lead in closing his eyes, his face showed a pious color, and then slowly raised his hands, on the square, everyone raised their hands together, and suddenly their bodies emitted a bright white light, one after another, and finally connected into one, forming a huge pillar of light that shot into the sky.
Suddenly, under the influence of this light, the clouds in the sky seemed to have life, gradually gathered together, completely absorbed the light, formed a crystal clear mirror and then slowly floated above the heroic spirit on the ground, the clouds became brighter and brighter, and finally shot out a pillar of light again to completely envelop the heroic spirit, only to see the body of the heroic spirit on the ground disappear little by little, turning into a crystal light floating to the sky, suddenly, above the square, as if there are countless stars shrouded, the starlight is bright, beautiful and abnormal.
The dead are safe to die, and the living still need to work hard, looking at the starlight floating into the sky, the Lord of the Forest Hall said loudly: "Tell these heroic spirits, how should we do it!"
"Get stronger!" the earth-shattering cry resounded in the sky again!
