Chapter 186: Only the human heart is the most controllable
In the center of the dock of Yuezhou City, a tall gray-robed figure stood with a sword, and her originally handsome face was a little more sickly, Liu Mei's eyes were lowered, and she quietly watched the coming boat, looking at the black-robed young man at the helm behind the boat.
The two were still very far apart at this time, but they both seemed to notice, and the other was watching them. Liu Mei bowed slightly, Qi Xuan sped up the speed of paddling the rudder, and secretly followed the black-robed young man's disciple of the Wind and Snow Grand View Tower, the boat was a little slower, and seeing the boat of the traitorous thief in front of him suddenly accelerated, the disciple of the Wind and Snow Grand View Tower immediately shouted to the junior disciple of the rowing boat to hurry up.
After urging his junior brother, the man somehow, as if his head had been opened, slapped his thigh violently, and then immediately walked towards the front of the ship.
At this time, he secretly thought to himself that he was still approaching the dock of Yuezhou City, and some firelight could be seen in front of him, it must be that the building had already taken precautions, and now there was still a little distance from the thief. And then the elder noticed himself, and then the days in the building from now on... Thinking of these, this disciple, who was not happy in the wind and snow in the Grand View Building on weekdays, and was often oppressed by Xu Yingfang, was even more convinced of his idea of action in the future, and he walked out of the cabin to look at the countless fires at the dock position, and instantly put on a righteous and awe-inspiring posture.
With a wave of his arm, he raised the long sword in his hand, and pointed towards Qi Xuan's ship, and then spoke: "The traitor Qi Xuan snatched the post station ship in a vain attempt to attack the people in the city!" Brothers, don't let the thieves rush into Yuezhou City! Then I took the lead...".
But before he could finish his words with such righteousness and courage, he vaguely saw the tall gray-robed figure in the middle of the dock, and the words immediately stopped abruptly.
It's the landlord Liu Mei... The man saw the landlord coming, thinking about his previous trickery, I don't know if he will be recognized by the landlord, his body is a little swaying, and he almost fell into the water, but in order to avoid embarrassing things, he immediately waved his sword on the side and took a few steps back, which stabilized his figure.
His shouts before could be regarded as making the disciples who followed him around him and the disciples in the direction of the dock listen to them all over the place, and the disciples of the Wind and Snow Daguanlou who didn't know the situation clapped their hands one by one, and were about to respond to this brave senior brother in response, but they were all stretched out by the leader of the group in front of him and lowered their voices.
After controlling the emotions of their disciples, several of the elders in the sect who were traveling with Liu Mei immediately walked quickly in the direction of Liu Mei and bowed their respects.
Among these elders, there is an elder who stands relatively high, and his bowing posture is more humble than the other elders, and he is Hua Yan'an, who has intercepted and killed Lin Manliu and Ning Ke outside the city.
Seeing that the other elders didn't say anything, Elder Hua immediately spoke up, "The one who doesn't have the eyesight to see... It's my disciple, and I hope to... Forgive me, landlord...".
Liu Mei didn't respond, just exhaled slowly, still staring at the small boat in front.
Hua Yan'an was relieved to see that the landlord did not give an exit to order himself, and was thinking about stepping back, and then silently watched the long-lost master-apprentice dialogue tonight.
He was about to step back when Liu Mei said in a language that was almost emotionless, "Along with that person and the person who spoke before, they are all your disciples... Deal with it afterwards...".
Hua Yan'an was struck by lightning, and the whole person immediately bowed down again, and hurriedly said: "Afterwards... After speaking, Elder Hua immediately retreated to the side and waited, saying no more.
Not long after the conversation between Hua Yan'an and Liu Mei ended, Qi Xuan's ship docked. The black-robed young man walked into the cabin, picked up Lu Qing, and then stepped off the boat and headed in the direction of Liu Mei.
Qi Xuan's pace was extremely slow, and his footsteps on the ground were almost silent, except for Liu Mei, everyone clenched their swords in their hands, and watched the black-robed young man who was walking towards them vigilantly, and no one looked at him as a former disciple.
The black-robed young man walked all the way to the position where Liu Mei was five steps away, he slowly directed Lu Qing, and then got up to look at his former master, Liu Mei just glanced at Lu Qing, and then also looked at Qi Xuan, who was looking at him, in this process, neither of them had any words.
Hua Yan'an watched the two of them staring silently, because he was asked by Liu Mei before, he didn't dare to teach Qi Xuan a lesson, and immediately glanced at the other elder beside him, signaling for the other party to make a move.
But that elder, how dare he make a bird under such circumstances, and immediately looked at the other place with the eyes that were originally looking at the landlord and the black-robed young man.
"Don't you explain..."At this moment, Liu Mei was the first to speak and was the first to break the tranquility of the dock in Yuezhou City.
"Senior Sister Lu Qing, I was attacked by thieves before..."The black-robed young man heard Liu Mei's words and looked at Lu Qing, who was unconscious on the ground.
"Why are you here?" Liu Mei said aloud here.
"Send Senior Sister home..."Qi Xuan still looked at Lu Qing on the ground, and did not look at Liu Mei. Liu Mei didn't continue to ask, lifted the title Hanmei in her hand and first took a step sideways, and then walked towards Qi Xuan.
The black-robed young man subconsciously took a step back, and only then did he look at Liu Mei at this moment, such a distance allowed Qi Xuan to see clearly his former master, the last time they met, it was in the rape flower field outside Yuezhou City, when the master saw himself suddenly appearing on the battlefield, and in the hostile camp, Qi Xuan never forgot the scene at that time.
At that time, Liu Mei just raised her sword and pointed it at herself, without any words, and the master, who was still fighting against the enemy, paused for a moment at that moment, and it was at this moment that the blood-colored nails in the sky ejected from the crowd of the Evil Slaughter Gate, injuring Liu Mei.
It's just that it didn't take long for Master to get so old... used to be the first in the world of martial arts in the rivers and lakes, but I don't know when it began, it became a little old and depressed... Under Qi Xuan's gaze, Liu Mei carried her matching sword, walked around Qi Xuan and Lu Qing, and finally stopped in front of Lu Qing, Liu Mei at this time was facing away from Qi Xuan.
The owner of the Wind and Snow Grand View Building, like an elderly father, squatted down to look at Lu Qing who was wrapped in black cannons, he stretched out his right hand and stroked Lu Qing's somewhat dirty green silk, so that these hair tips did not cover the face of his disciple as much as possible.
The disciples of the Wind and Snow Daguanlou who witnessed this series of movements, including the elders, all held up their matching swords, hugged their sides, and then raised their hands in front of them and saluted in the direction of Liu Mei and Lu Qing.
Suddenly, a strange noise was heard from the back of the crowd
"Goo-woo-woo". This sudden sound caused some of the disciples to look towards the source of the sound, but there was no one behind them... After this sound, nothing strange happened.
Long... Liu Mei, who helped Lu Qing fix the tips of her hair, looked sideways at Qi Xuan, and the black-robed young man behind him didn't make any movement from the beginning of Liu Mei's steps, just stood there with his hands lowered...
"Why don't you do it?" Liu Mei asked. The boy was speechless.
"Send Lu Qing back here, what do you want? Death? Liu Mei asked again. Qi Xuan still didn't say anything, just stepped back silently, as if using such an action to tell Liu Mei what he thought in his heart.
Liu Mei coughed slightly, and looked sideways at the black-robed young man who was gradually moving away, this disciple who was the latest to enter and the most valued by him, he once thought that he could entrust the disciple of the entire Fengxue Grand View Building, so he left him... He silently watched his former disciple, away from the fire on the dock, away from his respected senior sister, away from him Liu Mei... Escaping into the lake shrouded in darkness like this, Liu Mei turned her head and no longer looked in the direction of Qi Xuan's retreat, her eyes slightly closed.
Qi Xuan retreated to the previous boat, re-propped up the wood pulp at the stern, and patted towards the dock, and the retrograde boat was far away from the dock of Yuezhou City.
The boats that had been following the black-robed young man saw him approaching, and immediately got out of the way, for fear that they would be attacked by this madman and cut off their path of the sword.
At the location of the Yuezhou wharf, Liu Mei picked up her only remaining disciple, carried the boat that had gone away, and said slowly: "Go back to the building...".
All the accompanying elders heard Liu Mei's words, saluted again, and then shouted in the direction of their respective disciples: "Go back to the building!! ”。
In this way, all the disciples of the Wind and Snow Grand View Building gathered here returned to the sect. ...... The black-robed young man's boat docked at a bank next to the river crossing station, and then Qi Xuan flew over to the riverbank of the town, heading towards a hidden street, where there was no fire from the wind and snow Daguanlou disciples' patrols, and the young man's figure only appeared at the mouth of the street for a moment, and then disappeared.
With a bang
The sound of opening the door of "squeak...", I remembered at the door of a small courtyard, Qi Xuan's figure appeared again, and he returned to the courtyard where he stayed with Yan Fuli before, the two corpses in the courtyard had long disappeared, and even the bloodstains on the ground were not easy to be noticed by ordinary people.
Qi Xuan slowly walked to the middle of the courtyard and looked at the main entrance of the house. At this time, at the door of the house, there was a man standing, who was the young man in black robes before
"Trade" the man. The man seemed to have just noticed Qi Xuan's breath, turned to look at the young man in the courtyard, clapped his hands together, and then spoke: "Brother Qi Xuan, are you planning to break the jar?" The good master who failed to attack and hurt you still dares to come here to restore his life? ”。
The black-robed young man just looked at the man, his hands raised, not approaching the sword at his waist, he didn't say anything, as if waiting for his death.
Seeing Qi Xuan's move, the man seemed to have seen something funny that he had never seen before, and he actually began to laugh, but the laughter didn't last long, and the whole person's demeanor suddenly changed, as if he had changed a person.
"If Qi Xuan is in this state of mind, I am fully capable of letting your good senior sister die again... Even if she is now by Liu Mei's side..."The man looked coldly at the black-robed young man.
Hearing this, Qi Xuan put his hand down, not waiting for death like just now...
"I couldn't do it, what you need, whatever you want, you can do it..."The black-robed young man finally spoke.
"Do you know what kind of person or thing is best controlled?" The man replied non-requires.
"People who don't have personal ideas, who are completely attached to others... Or what your heart desires... From others..."Qi Xuan paused for a moment and replied loudly.
"This is what you see, Yan Fuli's thoughts... Did he succeed? The man seemed not satisfied with the boy's answer, and continued to ask.
The black-robed young man was silent and did not continue to speak.
"Do you know what would happen if you followed one of the previous two options?" The man walked down a step first, getting closer to Qi Xuan.
Qi Xuan was still silent, this was the man who looked at him in front of him.
"If it's one of them, Lu Qing will naturally belong to you... But in the future, in the Slaughter Gate, how long can you protect the good utensils? Today's matter, it may not be an exaggeration to come back a few times, even if I don't dare you Qi Xuan-for-tat, I will mediate from it, and in the end, your senior sister will still die tragically, and you Qi Xuan will also die in the near future..."
The black-robed young man exhaled, but there was still no response.
"If it is the second one, you take the opportunity to send Lu Qing back and attack Liu Mei, naturally there will be a door in the middle to lead you back to the post station, but your way can only go to the post station... Such a deceitful and unfilial person, I don't mind taking action for the lord of Liulou and killing my relatives with righteousness..."The man had already walked into the courtyard at this time, and after finishing his words, he took another step forward, and at this time he was only less than five steps away from Qi Xuan.
"So... What do you want to say..."Qi Xuan finally spoke, and clenched the matching sword at his waist.
"Qi Xuan, you can try, within five steps, can you kill me? Or can I kill you? The man looked at the black-robed young man's left hand holding the sword, and laughed contemptuously.
Qi Xuan pulled out the broken blade at his waist and held it horizontally in front of him, he looked at the broken blade, looked at it for a while, then plunged the entire broken blade into the ground, and then raised his head to look at the man.
"People's hearts..."Qi Xuan suddenly spit out two words. The man who was still looking at the young man in front of him with contempt suddenly lit up his glasses, and the whole person took another step forward, and at this time the two of them were already between arms.
"That's right... The most controllable thing in this world is the human heart! Brother Qi Xuan is still an understanding person, since he can see through, why wait for death? The man's eyes seemed to shine, and the whole person said excitedly, and began to pace around the courtyard between words.
The black-robed young man looked at the ecstatic man in front of him, his face was expressionless, and he just waited quietly for the next step.
Because he now knows that since Senior Sister Lu Qing was in distress, the purpose of this person who has been deep behind the scenes has always been on him, Yan Fuli and the waste who only has the lower body were all guided by this person to lead him into the game, and finally among the three mortal choices, he chose the heart of the person he wanted.
When Qi Xuan watched his senior sister's miserable situation and was about to collapse, he told him that all this was caused by him, so that Qi Xuan had to obey the arrangement and accept the three kinds
A type of "transaction" in exchange for Lu Qing's livelihood. In order to tell him Qi Xuan, Lu Qing and his life were all survived by this man, and what was used in exchange was never loyalty to the Slaughter Sect, or attacking and injuring the former master, but Qi Xuan's heart, and finally humanity and conscience.
A fierce beast without reason certainly has the sharpest fangs and the ambition to devour everything, but such power is uncontrollable for those in power.
And those who are at the end of the road only need to take this last humanity from him and hold it in their hands, and such people are what these superiors need.
The man's footsteps faded with his joy, and gradually stopped, and he looked at the black-robed young man in the courtyard again.
Qi Xuan also looked at the man and said, "What do I need to do...".
"Surrender to this land forever!" The man spoke up. The black-robed young man was briefly puzzled at first, but he soon came to his senses, and made an extremely strange move, he knelt on his knees and began to bow down.
