Chapter 22: Envy, Jealousy, and Hatred
Seeing this scene, most of the people around were talking about Wang Yuyan's appearance and martial arts, or how they matched as a couple.
But the keen Zhao Mingyuan noticed a jealous gaze.
looked at it then, but Zhao Mingyuan only saw a figure bowing his head and weeping. However, that plain white is too conspicuous among a group of beggars, and it is Ma Dayuan's widow, the surviving Kang Min.
This kind of person, Zhao Mingyuan naturally can't have any thoughts.
Especially when he noticed that she had evil thoughts, Zhao Mingyuan naturally couldn't let it go.
In the eyes of others, she may be just a weak widow. But Zhao Mingyuan, who knows the plot, naturally understands this Kang Min's nature.
In fact, Qiao Feng's current situation is certainly due to the cause and effect of Yanmen Pass thirty years ago, but the ignorance of the Luoyang Flower Club is the source of malice.
Kang Min was a person, just because Qiao Feng avoided his sister-in-law, so he was dissatisfied and held a grudge, and even had to put Qiao Feng to death.
And now, seeing Wang Yuyan, who is more beautiful, younger, stronger, and even happier than her, how will she react?
It's not hard to guess.
Even if Zhao Mingyuan didn't see her eyes, he could guess that it must be full of envy, jealousy and hatred for Wang Yuyan.
According to Kang Min's temperament, what he can't get will definitely be destroyed by a way.
What will she do?
It's not hard to guess.
With Qiao Feng's example first, coupled with the advantages of the beggar gang, I'm afraid that the most likely thing she will do is to spread rumors, right?
Spread rumors between Zhao Mingyuan and Wang Yuyan, find a way to make trouble for them, make them no longer harmonious and happy, and ruin their immortal couple, then she will feel comfortable and happy in her heart.
If she is really allowed to go back, relying on the large number of people in the beggar gang, it is really easy to spread any rumors.
The crowd is full of gold, and the bones are destroyed.
Zhao Mingyuan may still be able to bear it, but it doesn't feel like much. However, the innocent Wang Yuyan may be hurt.
Thinking that Wang Yuyan might be slandered by rumors, Zhao Mingyuan's eyes flashed, and he secretly said in his heart: But you don't have a chance, that's the end of today.
Zhao Mingyuan has already made up his mind to solve this Kang Min in this apricot forest, so that she will not survive today.
On the other hand, as the other protagonist who was talked about, Tan Po felt that she had lost face.
Losing to Wang Yuyan in one move, Tan Po naturally felt unconvinced, so she wanted to step forward to fight again, but was held by Tan Gong.
Tan Gong was a bystander, but he looked at it and understood, and naturally knew that Wang Yuyan was definitely not something that Tan Po could deal with.
Besides, Zhao Mingyuan next to him seems to have higher kung fu, even if they are husband and wife together, they will inevitably be the ones who suffer.
On the side, Zhao Qiansun was eager to try, ready to step forward to vent his anger for his Xiaojuan.
But seeing Tan Po's anger, she was angry that Tan Gong not only didn't help her, but also stopped her from stepping forward to make a move, and actually slapped Tan Gong in the face.
Tan Gong's martial arts are far higher than Tan Po's, but Tan Po's slap came, Tan Gong neither parried nor dodged, but took her slap motionlessly.
Tan Po's slap was absolutely merciless, and I saw that Tan Gong's face immediately showed five blue and purple fingerprints.
However, as Tan Gong took out a small box from his arms, reached out and applied some ointment on his face, the swelling and blue disappeared immediately.
The two of them fought fast and the other cured quickly, and everyone was stunned, and they all felt funny in their hearts.
On the contrary, Zhao Qiansun sighed, and his voice was sad and complaining.
Then he said, "I see. I see! I knew that it was because of this, what did it matter if I was beaten a few times by her at the beginning. His tone was full of remorse.
It turned out that Tan Po had a violent temper, even if she has been old for decades now, she still hasn't changed. You can imagine how brutal and willful she was when she was young.
And Zhao Qiansun, as Tan Po's senior brother, refuses to let the little sister on weekdays.
Now, seeing that Tan Gong is obedient, he can't fight back against Tan Po. Zhao Qiansun realized where he lost, and for a while, he was extremely sad and overwhelmed.
Elder Xu on the side asked Zhao Qiansun about the truth of what was written in the letter, and asked him to confirm it as proof.
Zhao Qiansun was in a state of agitation, thinking about his junior sister Xiaojuan, and naturally spoke upside down, which made everyone laugh.
Elder Xu didn't even ask a few words, but he had no choice but to turn to Tan Po and say, "Mrs. Tan, you should talk to him." ”
Tan Po nodded and said, "Senior brother, tell me about the situation at that time." ”
Zhao Qiansun said: "I remember the situation clearly at that time, you combed two pigtails, and there was a red head rope tied on the braids. ...... day"
Although Tan Po was very appreciative of Zhao Qiansun's infatuation, she slowly shook her head and said, "Senior brother, don't talk about our previous affairs. ”
After a pause, Tan Po continued: "Elder Xu asked you about the bloody battle in front of the Chaotic Stone Valley outside the Yanmen Pass. At that time, you were personally involved, so tell everyone what the situation was. ”
Zhao Qiansun muttered: "Outside the Yanmen Pass, in front of the Troubled Stone Valley, ......"
Suddenly, Zhao Qiansun's face changed greatly, as if he remembered something terrible, turned around and ran. His light technique is extremely fast, and he is about to run out of the apricot forest.
Everyone shouted, but Zhao Qiansun turned a deaf ear.
Suddenly, someone said loudly: "Senior brother is already old, and his demeanor and appearance are far inferior to Tan Gong." ”
Zhao Qiansun suddenly stopped, turned around and asked, "Who said this?" ”
But he heard the voice and continued: "If you weren't ashamed of yourself when you saw Tan Gong, why did you run away? ”
Everyone followed the reputation, and it turned out that it was Quan Guanqing who spoke out.
One thing after another made everyone dizzy, and they almost forgot about Quan Guanqing.
Now, the cloth bag on Quan Guanqing's back has not been completely untied, and he has not completed the ceremony, so he is still a member of the beggar gang.
Hearing this, Zhao Qiansun said stiffly: "Who is ashamed of himself, he can just be beaten and not fight back, what can beat me." ”
But I heard an old voice in the depths of the apricot forest answer: "If you can be beaten and not fight back, that is the world's first-class kung fu." ”
Then, I saw an old monk wearing a gray cloth monk's robe walk out from behind the apricot forest, with big ears, and his appearance was very majestic, quite a monk's demeanor.
Elder Xu greeted first, and everyone knew that this was Master Zhiguang of Tiantai Mountain.
Master Zhiguang's reputation in the rivers and lakes is not loud, and even well-informed sects like the Beggar Gang have many people who don't know his origin.
But those who knew were in awe.
Because, Master Zhiguang once made a big and far-reaching voyage, traveled across the ocean, collected the bark of an overseas exotic tree, cured the miasma in the south, and benefited hundreds of people, which is really admirable.
Even Zhao Mengyuan, who knew his deeds, was also extremely admirable.
No matter what role Master Zhiguang wants to play in today's matter, at least from his personal experience, it can be seen that he has indeed done good and practical things for the people. That's admirable.
This Master Zhiguang said as he walked over: "If you can't fight back, it's already rare. If you can fight and not fight back, then it is even more rare. ”
The eyes of everyone looking at Tan Gong were different.
Just now, many people thought that he was too cowardly, but now that I think about it, it is indeed rare to be able to endure it for decades.
Zhao Mingyuan suddenly interjected: "Wouldn't it be even more rare to make her stop wanting to hit people?" ”
Master Zhiguang looked at Zhao Mingyuan and said, "If it is forced by force, it is nothing.
If you can convince the beater, you don't want to fight from the bottom of your heart, let alone beat people again.
That is the highest state of my Buddha's purification of sentient beings.
Amitabha. ”
Well, you have a point.
Zhao Mingyuan also nodded in agreement when he heard this.
This Master Zhiguang is indeed worthy of his reputation, much stronger than some so-called masters who are sought after.
Next, Zhao Qiansun seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said: "Monk Zhiguang, you also experienced the battle of Yanmen Pass back then, so let's talk about it next." ”
Hearing Yanmen Pass, Master Zhiguang couldn't help but change color, and his eyes actually leaked the same fear as Zhao Qiansun just now, but in the end, it turned into compassion and pity.
He sighed, "O iniquity! That was thirty years ago, so why bother mentioning it? ”
Seeing this, Elder Xu said, "This is because there has been a major change in the gang recently, and one of the letters involved in this matter has to be brought up again. ”
As he spoke, he handed the letter to Master Zhiguang.
Master Zhiguang read the letter once, and then started to read it again, and then slowly shook his head and said, "It is better to settle the dispute."
It's been so many years, so why bother bringing it up again?
According to the old man's humble opinion, it is better to end it here, destroy this letter, and annihilate the traces. ”
It can be seen that Master Zhiguang still has some real compassion.
However, Elder Xu said, "The tragic death of the deputy gang leader of this gang may have something to do with this matter.
If they are not investigated, then not only will Deputy Ma's gang leader not be able to redress his grievances, but our gang will be in danger of collapse, and may even cause disaster to the rivers and lakes. ”
Hearing that Elder Xu was on the line like this, and what he said so seriously, Master Zhiguang only nodded and agreed.
Master Zhiguang glanced at Zhao Qiansun and sighed again: "What happened back then, Lao Wei did something wrong, but there is no need to hide it, just say it." ”
Zhao Qiansun said: "We are for the country and the people, and we can't say that we have done something wrong." ”
Master Zhiguang said: "A mistake is a mistake, and there is no need to deceive yourself." ”
It seems that Master Zhiguang's cultivation of Buddhism in this way is indeed much higher than the moral standard of others.
It's just that the Buddha cut the meat and fed the eagle by cutting his own meat.
And they wanted to quell the rebellion of the beggars and sacrifice less manpower, but it was Qiao Feng who made the sacrifice.
Not only did they not care about Qiao Feng's feelings, but they also didn't care whether Qiao Feng was innocent or not.
As Master Zhiguang made up his mind, the old past thirty years ago was told in his mouth.
