Volume 5: The First Song Six Hundred and Twenty-Two: The Waves (One Hundred and Thirty-Nine)
Time has to be rewind a little bit, after Shangguan Hong's jade cocoon technique was cracked, there was also a conversation between Ni Qiuyi and Shao Zhi that profoundly affected the two.
At that time, after Shangguan Hong had just appeared, Shao Zhi had already realized that he had completely failed, and he was defeated in his own sword realm, as a proud sword cultivator in his heart, he was almost completely defeated, although there were no injuries left on his body, but the strength of the whole person was completely gone, and he could no longer raise any fighting spirit, his shoulders were lowered, his face was gray, his spirit was sluggish, and there was even some cringe in his eyes when he looked at Shangguan Hong.
Ni Qiuyi stood next to Shao Zhi with her wound covered, she was not lightly injured, and Shao Zhi's spirit sword penetrated under her left rib, although she had already used the medicine she had brought with her, but such a wound could not be healed for a while, Ni Qiuyi would be involved in the wound with a slight movement at this time, and the bleeding would not stop, and the pain would be severe, so she would definitely not be able to fight against Shangguan Hong next. However, Ni Qiuyi couldn't fight anymore because of the injuries on her body, but she found that Shao Zhi beside her had been standing and didn't move to deal with Shangguan Hong, she looked at the other party coldly, this guy didn't have any injuries on his body, but his face was very dejected, seeing this, Ni Qiuyi understood, it turned out that there were really people who could be scared by another person, and he was still a sword cultivator, and couldn't help but laugh in her heart, she looked at Shao Zhi and said:
"Shao Gongzi must have had everything going well before, right?"
Shao Zhi was awakened by Wang Cunxi's piano sound and figured out that the injury on Ni Qiuyi's body was left by himself, and in addition to being discouraged, he was full of guilt for Ni Qiuyi, and had already apologized, and then he was thinking about his own thoughts, and listened to Ni Qiuyi's questioning coldly, and didn't figure out what the other party meant for a while, so he looked sideways in confusion.
Seeing that the other party did not answer, Ni Qiuyi asked again:
"Shao Gongzi must have been doing well before, that's why he was so discouraged after tonight's setback, right?"
This can be regarded as speaking to Shao Zhi's heart, he was silent after hearing this, but his head hung a little lower.
Ni Qiuyi continued:
"It seems that this must be the case, Shao Gongzi is indeed not going well today, he is controlled everywhere in the hands of Shangguan Hong, I guess before tonight, Shao Gongzi and others should be invincible, the scenery is infinite, and tonight is the first time Shao Gongzi has experienced such a fiasco, I heard that the sword realm is a very powerful means for your sword cultivation, right? Although Shao Gongzi deliberately behaves casually and easy-going on weekdays, in fact, you are a high-spirited person who even criticizes yourself, and you have always been smooth sailing before, so after the first fiasco, you will be so combative and even begin to doubt yourself, Shao Gongzi, I am not wrong. ”
As mentioned earlier, although Shao Zhi gives people the impression of being a person with a weak personality, it is actually as Ni Qiuyi said, hearing that Shao Zhi was a little surprised that this unattractive woman could see herself so thoroughly, and couldn't help but glance at the other party, but what he said was right, what he said was somewhat similar to uncovering Shao Zhi's scars, so his face was even more ugly, not angry, but in the emotions of disappointment and disgust with himself after the defeat.
Ni Qiuyi looked at Shao Zhi's face coldly, knowing that he had said what the other party was thinking, Shao Zhi's mood was incomprehensible to this woman, in Ni Qiuyi's opinion, as long as he didn't die after defeat, he still had a chance, and it was right to do everything possible to defeat the opponent. This man should be said to have some means, after all, he is a sword cultivator, but don't they all say that sword cultivators are people with good hearts, why is this man so unremarkable, his heart is as fragile as a child who has never seen the world, it is really impossible to look down on one eye. If it was in normal times, Ni Qiuyi didn't bother to say anything to such a character, but now the injuries on her body were left by this man, and Shangguan Hong over there is still showing off his might, but this unpromising man doesn't even dare to help like he is scared, hmph, you can't just let him stand like this, he must be let go and follow Shangguan Hong to fight hard, otherwise how can he be worthy of the wound on her body that is still bleeding!
So Ni Qiuyi no longer cared about Shao Zhi's feelings, and said:
"I was born in a small family, since I was a child when I first heard about sword cultivation, the elders of the family told me that all sword cultivation is a person with outstanding means, which is awe-inspiring, and told me that if I encounter it in the future, I must be careful, not to be easily provoked, not only that, but the elders also said that sword cultivation is also a person with a strong will, otherwise it will not be able to become a sword cultivator. Speaking of which, it's still because I was born in a small family, and my knowledge and experience are also very short, Shao Gongzi, you are still the first sword cultivator I came into contact with, I was still very curious about you before, tsk, but how is Shao Gongzi's performance completely inconsistent with what I have heard since I was a child? It is said that the heart of sword cultivation is good, and it is as tough as a hundred steels, but ...... Don't be annoyed...... Now it seems that your heart is like a big porcelain bowl, hard enough, but if you fall on the ground, it will be completely broken, and then, you can't fight it back......"
While saying that, Ni Qiuyi deliberately looked at Shao Zhi with provocation, and Shao Zhi was also angry by Ni Qiuyi's words, and turned his head unhappily to look at it, even though he thought that what this woman said was a little ugly, but it seemed that what she said was true, thinking of this, her anger disappeared and she was ashamed, and she immediately turned her head back, not daring to meet Ni Qiuyi's gaze.
Ni Qiuyi smiled when she saw it, she didn't want to let Shao Zhi go:
"Actually, this can't all be blamed on Shao Gongzi, tonight we are planning to deal with Shangguan Hong, planning in advance and there are many people, but which one has not suffered under Shangguan Hong's men? Speaking of which, I have grown so big, and it is the first time I have encountered such a tough and difficult opponent, which is really a great enemy I have only encountered in my life! Speaking of which, I'm very happy to meet such an opponent, even if I'm not her opponent now, but I have a clear goal to pursue in the future, even if I still lose to her for a long time in the future, but as long as I don't give up, I won't be thrown too far by her, at least I still follow her, then there is still a chance. Shao Gongzi, if it weren't for my injuries at this moment, I would definitely be unconvinced and continue to fight with her again, but it's a pity! ”
Hearing this, Shao Zhi's face was hot, Ni Qiuyi's injury was caused by him after he was hit by the illusion, and when he heard this, he thought that Ni Qiuyi was still dissatisfied with him, and when he was about to say something, he heard Ni Qiuyi say again.
"Don't misunderstand Shao Gongzi, I don't blame you for hurting me, and listen to me continue, there is a saying that Shao Gongzi must have heard that the three armies can win the commandery, and the horseman cannot win the ambition. I am a woman, practicing the insect poison technique that is feared and hated by people, and I have been repeatedly frustrated in the face of strong enemies, and I still want to continue to entangle and fight with it, but what about Shao Gongzi, you are just defeated again and again, why are you afraid of it like a tiger, does Shao Gongzi think that he has completely defeated her and has no chance to turn over? Shao Gongzi thinks it's a shame to use his strongest means to still lose to Shangguan Hong, right? You are wrong, in fact, the complete surrender after defeat is the most humiliating. What's the other sentence in the book...... By the way, seeing the sages and thinking together, it may not be appropriate to use it here, but when you see a strong opponent, even if you can't beat it, as long as you still have the strength to fight, you shouldn't flinch and run away, as long as it's a face-to-face battle, even if you are still invincible, you can't find her flaws, but you can learn something from it, the victory or defeat is more downcast, the key is to use her as a whetstone, Shao Gongzi, is it smooth sailing for sword cultivation all his life? Can those world-famous sword cultivators never fail before they become famous? It's impossible, it's all hard work and hard work, and they don't know how much they have experienced in an encounter like yours! Also, the edge of a sharp sword cannot be sharpened with rotten wood, and only a strong opponent is a good stone for sharpening a sword. I'm afraid that there is no need to sharpen myself, such as eggs, which will be shattered when they hit a stone, and they will flow all over the ground. The blade of the sword is sharpened, the more powerful the opponent, the more commendable, Shao Gongzi, I understand the truth, is it not as good as me as a sword cultivator from a big family? ”
Hearing this, Shao Zhi felt something, and this time he couldn't help but look at Ni Qiuyi, although this woman was ugly and pale due to blood loss, which made her a little scary, but he noticed for the first time that this woman's eyes were very bright.
"Shao Gongzi, I can see that you are a serious person, but in my opinion, if you have been entangled in the experience of losing this fiasco in the hands of Shangguan Hong, or regret or blame yourself, or even self-loathing, I dare to assert that you will never turn over in the future, and even see Shangguan Hong again in the future, you will be like a mouse seeing a cat, even if you don't escape, you will be three points shorter than her in terms of momentum, and you will not even have the courage to look at her, in that case, she will become a big stone that has been pressing on your heart, and it is a pass that you will never be able to pass. Become your nemesis who will retreat whenever you encounter it, don't you think so? And do you really want to be like that in the future? The past cannot be admonished, the coming can still be traced, what happened has passed, and it cannot be changed at all, but the future is still in your control, depending on how you do it. Failure is nothing, you are not the only one here tonight who is frustrated, but the most terrible thing is that after failure, you will collapse, that is the real defeat, and also, if Shao Gongzi has been behaving like this, if you have been like this, I estimate that Shangguan Hong will not even bother to look at you in the future, because you are nothing in her eyes, and you are not even qualified to be despised by her, you will only be ignored by her, and you will be looked down upon by everyone. But if Shao Gongzi picks up your sword cultivation heart again, repeatedly defeated and tenacious, even if you can't even get up for a while after falling, as long as you keep struggling forward, I'm afraid no one will despise you as a sword cultivator, Shao Gongzi, only if you don't give up and don't admit defeat, you are a real good man! ”
Shao Zhi's heart was surging when he said this, and he didn't know where he heard it, staring at Ni Qiuyi fixedly, listening carefully to the other party's every word, not caring about the contempt in the other party's eyes and the ridicule in his tone, he only felt that his heart was pounding with Ni Qiuyi's words, and his blood was surging, and he felt very ashamed in front of her, but this shame was completely different from before, for a while, all the haze caused by the defeat to Shangguan Hong was swept away by the other party's words, and, He suddenly found a bit of charm from the appearance of this ugly girl, which made him look a little daze, and when he heard the end, Shao Zhi solemnly saluted Ni Qiuyi and said:
"Thank you girl for teaching me, if it weren't for Miss Ni, I don't know when I would understand this."
After saying this, Shao Zhi turned around and let out a long howl, and his body flew towards the lively place like electricity.
The corners of Ni Qiuyi's mouth turned up slightly after seeing it, she just wanted to encourage Shao Zhi to keep up with Shangguan Hong desperately, she thought she had succeeded, but she didn't expect that today's words would bring her a lot of troubles in the future.
