The first three watches of the rivers and lakes (Chapter 36)
The reason why Mu Lianzi laughed was because he was still complaining that the road was too peaceful before going to bed just now, and then someone came to the door immediately at night, so Mu Lianzi woke up Xingyun and signaled Xingyun to silence at the same time.
Seeing his master's actions, Xingyun immediately woke up, because of the reason of living in Qingcheng for a long time, so Xingyun did not develop the habit of always being vigilant about sleeping, along the way, Mu Lianzi always exercised his sensitivity to the surrounding environment when sleeping, and now it seems that the effect is still good. Xingyun tightened the double swords behind his back, a little nervously waiting for the first time he saw what "rivers and lakes" were.
The rivers and lakes that Xingyun saw for the first time were real rivers and lakes, and they were hidden behind the night. Bloody and irrational, compared with when I was in the Qingcheng faction, it was completely two huge contrasts, although Xingyun in the Qingcheng faction received a lot of ridicule and white eyes, but there was still rationality.
In the woods, a group of people was chasing and killing another group of people, and neither side seemed to be a good person, so Mu Lianzi didn't go to help, but just asked Xingyun to see what the real rivers and lakes were. Tonight, the purpose of the lotus seed has been achieved.
Among the victorious people, there are Jiangang-level masters, which is quite unexpected by Mu Lianzi, you must know that these people are all from the direction of Guizhou, Guizhou is relatively remote, and all the major sects in the martial arts have no intention of this. Therefore, compared to the situation that there are several major sects in other places, there is no first-class faction in Guizhou, if it is really reluctant, there is only the second-rate sect of Fanjing Sect on Fanjing Mountain.
Monks, without weapons, are not weak, and are located in Guizhou, a sect that meets these key sects, that is, the Fanjing Sect on Fanjing Mountain. This sect may be the most individual sect in the martial arts, and his internal strength and body methods are quite good, but its practice of not holding any weapons makes them never be included in the first-class sects. But fortunately, they are still quite strong among the second-rate sects, and there are no big sects near Guizhou, so the Fanjing Sect can still hold its own Fanjing Mountain for hundreds of years, which can be regarded as a sect with a long history.
And these people in front of them are obviously not monks, which is a little interesting, could it be that some gang is doing things across provinces? At this time, the victorious party who was handling the corpse in the field opened his mouth to help Mu Lianzi solve his doubts.
"I said boss, our Tongren Gang (Note 1) has really developed so fast in the past few months, the gang leader and his old man are really the heroes of the world, in just a few months, almost half of Guizhou is in our hands, I haven't seen it for long, even those bald donkeys on Fanjing Mountain have to let the mountain go, haha!" One of the minions laughed.
At this time, the man known as the "boss" reprimanded: "Say less and do more, bury all the corpses, take back the corpses of my brothers by yourself, and leave quickly when you are done!" This "boss" is the only Jiangang-level master in this group of people, although his Jiangang is still very reluctant, but only after this step is crossed, can he claim to be a master in the martial arts, and if a small sect can have a few Jiangang-level masters, then they will make a qualitative leap, and rise to the ranks of the middle sect, and the standard of the gate sect is naturally the number of masters at the sword soul level.
Mu Lianzi and Xingyun hid in the tree, watching these big men below first kill and kill, and then busy cleaning up, and after they all withdrew, the master and apprentice came down from the tree. Mu Lianzi looked at Xingyun, fortunately, his apprentice didn't overreact to the killing and blood, you must know that some novices will be afraid when they witness or experience killing for the first time, and even affect their subsequent enemies and cultivation, which is not a good thing, so when Mu Lianzi saw that Xingyun was very normal, he was also very happy.
In fact, for Xingyun, who watched the killing for the first time, it may not be as terrible as he imagined in advance, which has to do with many aspects, courage, environment, strength, and so on. Because he has his own master by his side, Xingyun is not a timid person, and his strength is above those people, so Xingyun just feels a little uncomfortable, and the rest is only the fragility of sighing people, more than a dozen lives, which disappeared in a blink of an eye, and the rest may be those loess and white bones.
Thinking of this, Xingyun couldn't help but ask his master Mu Lianzi: "Master, why are people in the rivers and lakes so desperate?" People are dead, there may be nothing left, how worthless? ”
Mu Lianzi laughed when she heard this: "Yun'er has been on the mountain, I don't know the common things in the world, you must know that the world is pursuing profit, everything can't escape the word profit, life for profit, death for profit, this is actually the ending they have already chosen, so there is nothing worth it or not." Mu Lianzi said, pointing to the places that had just been buried.
"What about us? Are we like them? Xingyun digested his master's words, but he was obviously confused about whether he was the same as those big men.
Mu Lianzi's answer to Xingyun was very simple, just two words: "The same." ”
Although there are few words, they are correct, Mu Lianzi looked at the confusion of his apprentice and explained: "The word profit does not only refer to money and power, all the goals pursued by people in the world are within the scope of profit, even if Yun'er is now looking for Dan Tianya for Xiao Rong, it is for the 'benefit' of his lover's life, and for the 'profit' of his own happiness with Xiao Rong." Once you enter this world, then you have tacitly accepted the rules of this world for profit, and the world under this rule is the rivers and lakes. The rivers and lakes are the world where people compete for profit. ”
Xingyun was obviously a little unacceptable to his master's answer: "Then are we famous factions also competing for profit?" Is it the same as those people just now? ”
Mu Lianzi smiled: "We are more intelligent. ”
