Chapter 539: The Spirit of a Master
The spirit of a master has never been different from that of ordinary people.
Ordinary people do things, no matter how bright and upright they are, they will always take care of the strength of the enemy and the weakness of the enemy. But in front of the real master, there seems to be no such thing as the enemy being strong and I being weak, and it should be said that he himself is the real strong.
The strong have always been above board.
The strong have never been afraid.
The strong have never been indomitable.
The strong, even if they kill people, must kill them openly, and will never sneak around, or make all kinds of indiscriminate tricks.
Although Gu Tengyi's martial arts are good, there is still a long way to go from being a real top martial arts master. He wanted to go to Meijiazhai to get the first reward of Old Man Mei, but he was afraid of the many helpers of Meijiazhai. It stands to reason that since he had no chance of winning, he should have given up this assassination attempt like the other Toei samurai. After all, the one who seeks good fortune and avoids the evil is a gentleman, and everyone should know this truth.
After Xiaoyaomen and Tangmen came to Meijiazhai, with the prestige of these two families, Meijiazhai really grew a lot. Many people who originally had this thought immediately dispelled the idea. In the Central Plains Martial Arts, if anyone offends these two major sects at the same time, then there should be no place in the Central Plains Martial Arts.
Even if some people are thieves and want to try the waters, they will also fail.
Xiaoyaomen and Tangmen can be ranked as one of the four major families in the rivers and lakes, and their strength and heritage are naturally extraordinary. If you don't have diamonds, you really can't do this porcelain work.
In the past few days, they have sent several Dongying ronins one after another, all of whom are some small people who are not in the stream, and they don't even pay too much attention to this matter at all.
Since the enemy is not very strong, Tang Muxiang and Tian Shilie naturally began to be a little contemptuous. All their thoughts now had been transferred to the two young men who had fallen off the cliff.
The people of Meijiazhai have sent several people to search and rescue Tang Zhong and Ren Hailuan in the valley these days, but they have found nothing. The longer the time drags on, the smaller the hope, and Tang Muxiang, Tian Shilie and the others are really a little desperate.
In the past two days, no Dongying people have come to Meijiazhai to make trouble, and everyone even thought that it was going to rain and clear the sky. Even Melo, the eldest son of the Mei family, who was less courageous, gradually relieved when he saw that the matter seemed to be about to end.
However, they had no idea that the most powerful enemy was rapidly approaching them.
"Master, you're finally here! The disciple has seen the Master! Gu Tengyi finally waited for his master, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of joy in his heart.
"What is the matter with you looking for me in such a hurry?" Mu Tengzuo seemed to be a little unhappy, and his tone became more and more aggressive.
It's right to think about it, he is the ancestor of the Jiateng faction and the master of Gu Tengyi, but now he is being called by Gu Tengyi like a summoning disciple, how can he be happy in his heart?
"Master, that's right. Recently, the disciple accidentally married someone from Hangzhou Xiaoyaomen. It is said that they have already spoken out and want to wipe out our Jiateng faction. Master, you know the strength of Xiaoyaomen, with the current capital of your disciples, how dare you fight with them? The disciple had no talent, and felt that this matter was important, so he had to ask the master to go out of the mountain, disturbing the master's happy life, and asking the master not to blame. Gu Tengyi had obviously already thought about these words, and his face was not red or his heart was beating when he lied at this time, it was completely like he was talking about real people and real things.
"Don't you know what the status of Xiaoyaomen is in the Central Plains Martial Arts? Why make a feud with them? Mu Tengzuo seemed to have a fire in his heart, but he still kept suppressing it and didn't vent it for the time being.
"Well! It's a long story......"
"Don't talk to Master, I'll beat around the bush. If you're embarrassed to say, I'll do it for you. You want to go to Mei's house to get the head of Old Man Mei, and then go to that group of pirates to receive the reward, so you offended the people of Xiaoyaomen. Yes and no? Mu Tengzuo seemed to have known the truth for a long time, so he directly interrupted Gu Tengyi and asked.
"Yes! Be! Be! That's it, so you know everything, Master? Gu Teng's expression was slightly embarrassed, and he only nodded and replied one after another.
"Isn't that what it is? If you just say no, it's over! Why are you making up all these lies to deceive me? Although your master is old, his brain is still good, so don't think that I don't know anything. Mu Tengzuo finally said the reason why he was unhappy.
"Yes, the disciple is wrong, the disciple should not underestimate the master." Gu Teng immediately admitted his mistake.
"Then what are you going to do when you call me now?" Mu Tengzuo asked Gu Teng again.
"Since the master is here, everything will be arranged by the master." Gu Teng is very good at being a man, in front of his master, he has always been respectful, and he doesn't dare to pretend to be big at all.
"Aren't you just trying to kill someone? Then go straight to the kill! Is it that troublesome? Gu Tengyi originally thought that the master had some tricks, but unexpectedly, the master directly said the most simple and crude method.
For a master who is empty-eyed, the simplest and most brutal method is often the most effective way.
Arrogance is to have ability.
People who have no ability have no arrogant capital at all.
For those who are incompetent, arrogance equals ignorance; But for the strong, arrogance is courage.
A truly strong person should have the courage to look down on everything.
"Master, I'm afraid this won't work! Now that Meijiazhai is a master, let's go directly, wouldn't we hit the stone with an egg and throw ourselves into the net? Gu Tengyi immediately questioned Master's suggestion.
"Humph! Something that doesn't make a difference. When I told you to study martial arts hard, you just didn't listen, but now when you meet an opponent, you know that you are afraid. I really don't know how you're going to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes after I'm dead? Haven't you heard that in the battle of the capital, Xiaoyaomen and Tang Men were greatly injured, and even the heads of their two factions, Ren Xiaoyao and Tang Mugong, were also seriously injured. If this is the case, then now Xiaoyaomen and Tangmen are toothless tigers, and there is no need to worry at all. You can't deal with a few young dolls, and you have to go out in person, this is really the misfortune of my Jiateng faction! Mu Tengzuo said, and suddenly there was a sense of hatred that iron is not made of steel.
As soon as Gu Teng was said by the master, he was embarrassed, and he didn't dare to say a word at all, so he immediately led the way in front and went straight to Meijiazhai.
Tang Zhong and Ren Hailuan still haven't been found, and Tian Shilie hasn't even dared to tell Master Ren Xiaoyao, so the atmosphere in Meijiazhai has been a little gloomy in the past few days. Fortunately, they have won several victories in the past few days, and they have repelled most of the ill-intentioned Dongying Ronin, and the atmosphere has been slightly eased.
Meijiazhai has the help of all the heroes, so that the ability to stay safe, and the old man Mei naturally wants to be hospitable. At noon on this day, Mr. Mei was feasting guests in the courtyard, and all the heroes were also eating, drinking and guessing boxing, and they had forgotten all those troubles.
"The lord of the village, a group of Dongying people came to the gate of the village, shouting to see you!" Suddenly, a soldier guarding the main gate suddenly came in and said.
"Dongying people!" As soon as Old Man Mei heard that he was "Dongying people" again, he immediately began to mumble in his heart.
He was a little nervous by these three words now, and he thought that the rain was about to pass, but he didn't want anyone to come to the door.
It's just that what Master Mei can't understand is that the people who came to Mei's village to make trouble before were all sneaking in to assassinate them, or they were making some indiscriminate means, but no one had ever dared to call the battle directly in front of the main gate of Dazhai.
"It seems that this is not a good person!" Old Man Mei thought about it carefully, and he already felt that the origin of this group of Dongying people was not simple.
"Master Mei, don't be afraid of him, let's go and see them together, send them away by the way, it's not too late to come back for a drink." Tang Sitian has won consecutive battles these days, and his morale has immediately risen a lot.
"Second brother, don't be careless. I also think that this group of Dongying people is a little strange. Tang Sihai couldn't help but remind the second brother.
"The soldiers will block, and the heart will cover up. Brother Mei, let's go and see the situation first. Tang Muxiang then said to Old Man Mei.
Old Man Mei also had this intention, so he stopped eating and drinking for the time being, and only took a large team of people and horses to the main gate of Mei's village.
The family guarding the gate did not know the situation, so they did not dare to open the door, but the group of Dongying people was also very polite, and they did not attack, but only stood in front of the gate and waited.
Master Mei glanced at the wall, but he couldn't see clearly where these Dongying people were, so he ordered the soldiers to open the gate, and then came out with Tang Muxiang, Tian Shilie and others, and came directly to the group of Dongying people.
Although both teams seemed to be relatively polite, the atmosphere in the air immediately became tense, as if a big battle was about to happen.
Old Man Mei took a closer look, but saw that the group of Dongying people, led by an old man with unkempt hair, was slightly younger than himself, about sixty years old. He was carrying a fine steel rod, which appeared to be his weapon. There is a distinct joint in the middle of the iron rod, which seems to hide some kind of mechanism, which can be split in two if necessary, and become two short sticks. Behind the old man, there was also a young man with a sword at his waist, dressed as a typical Toei ninja.
"Old man Mei's village owner, I don't know what this brother is called?" Although they are friends and foes, Old Man Mei still treats each other politely.
"Old man Jia Teng Sect Mu Tengzuo, this is my apprentice, the current Jia Teng Sect Sect Sect Master Gu Tengyi. Now I heard that there is a thing in Meijiazhai that is very valuable, so I came to borrow it from Mr. Mei, and asked Mr. Mei to give him a face. Mu Tengzuo is also not rude, and his words are relatively polite, but the content is very meaningful.
"Then I don't know what Brother Mu wants to borrow? If your faction is short of money and food, then the old man can give a little bit of it, and he doesn't need to pay it back. "Old Man Mei is a smart person, he has already heard what Mu Tengzuo borrowed, but he still said very politely.
