Chapter 49: Xuanwu Gate
"Let's get down to business," Liang Jian picked up Zhou Wenjun, who was kneeling on the ground, feeling angry and funny, she said with a straight face, "Beichen Yuan's sudden rise in martial arts must be with the help of external forces, otherwise even if he is a genius, it is impossible to defeat a group of elders who have practiced martial arts for decades in just half a month." ”
"That's right." Zhou Wenjun nodded in agreement, she didn't say that she hadn't inquired about Beichenyuan's adventure, but she didn't hear anything this time, which was really strange.
"The tree is a big move, and such progress will definitely cause suspicion and jealousy in the martial arts." Liang Jian's eyes deepened, and his head was analyzed, "Coupled with the fact that he is so ostentatious in spreading rumors about the Yunrou County Lord in the martial arts, I am afraid that in the end, he will become the public enemy of the martial arts and the imperial court." ”
"Isn't that bad?" Zhou Wenjun looked at Liang Jian and seemed to be a little worried, and his tone was not quite right. But Beichenyuan is looking for death by himself, saving them from doing it, isn't this right?
"No, he can't die yet, at least not until I think of a way." Liang Jian muttered to himself, only Zhou Wenjun's face was full of doubts.
Now, she can only join forces with Xuanwumen, she lowered her head and pondered for a moment, she couldn't contact the system, so she could only ask for help from others, it was time to go to Liu Yueming.
She made an excuse to carry Zhou Wenjun behind her back, and Song Bingzhu went to an extremely inconspicuous antique store somewhere in Kyoto. In order to prevent her from having an accident, Lao Yan insisted on following her, and the two of them went together.
Xuanwumen, like Yan Shi's Fu'an Restaurant, is spread all over the world. It's just that few people in the rivers and lakes know where the headquarters of Xuanwumen is, and only a few people know that Xuanwumen is hidden in some dilapidated alleys, usually in an old-looking, decaying antique store. When Liu Yueming arrested her to go to Xuanwu Gate before, she decided that they would eventually be allies, and once said that there were some places where they could be contacted.
Looking at this broken shop, she hesitated again and again and finally knocked on the moss-covered door, there was no sound inside, I wanted to knock again, the door suddenly creaked open, inside was a gray-haired old woman, her face was full of wrinkles, her eyelids drooped down to cover her eyes, and she was wearing a coarse cloth green shirt. The old woman didn't ask anything, and when she saw that someone was coming, she directly beckoned her in, as if she already knew her intention.
Yan Shi was about to follow in, but he was stopped outside, and he was just about to get angry, but he was stopped by Liang Jian. Now that there is a request for the Xuanwu Gate, naturally you can't do it at will. The two were in a stalemate for a long time, and finally Yan Shi tied the silkworm soft silk around her waist to her fingers, and then she was willing to let her go.
As soon as she entered, two women next to her stepped forward to surround her eyes and lead her in. After about half a cup of tea, the cloth that could be on the eyes was torn off. She looked around casually, but the outside looked dilapidated but inside it was magnificent, she seemed to be on top of a large hall, the floor was paved with smooth stone slabs, and there were several red pillars around her, with carved beams on the pillars, and a few blue silk sticks. Looking up, there were two phoenix chairs made of jade on the stone steps, Liu Yueming and Yuan Xi were sitting on the side, and the person in the middle was masked and wearing a gorgeous dress, but it was tightly covered from head to toe.
Looking at Liu Yueming and Yuan Xi, the person in the middle must be the master of the Xuanwu Gate, but Liang Jian didn't expect to see her this time.
The two girls who brought him in had already retired, and only the four of them were left in the huge hall.
Liang Jian didn't want to waste time, seeing that the three of them didn't seem to have the intention of speaking, he explained his intention straight to the point, "I know that we all want to deal with Beichen Yuan very consistently, and you must have a way to change his identity as the male protagonist, right?" ”
"That's right, but we have one condition." The door master spoke, his voice was very hoarse, and he felt that he was tearing his throat with all his strength without saying a word. She raised her hand, and a deed was sent to Liang Jian along the internal force, she took it and looked at it, holding the deed, hesitating.
"That's the rule of my Xuanwu Gate, since the girl has a request for me, she must pay the price." The voice of the door master is resolute and majestic that cannot be refuted, Liang Jian naturally thought of this before she came, but I am afraid that it is a little difficult for her to become the person of the Xuanwu Gate. After all, the Xuanwu Gate conflicts with what she wants to do, and if she joins, it means that she will go against her original intention, lose her freedom for the rest of her life, and be helpless.
"Xuanwumen thinks that all men in the world deserve to die, and they want to kill all the men in the world and create a society of women's respect," Liang Jianlang said, "But I don't think so, men are hateful, but women are also not desirable." What I insist on is an equal rights society, where men and women are equal. So, we're not going to be all the way, so I'm reluctant to join. ”
"What about the Lady?" Liu Yueming retorted unconvinced, "Men have been respected for thousands of years, and it's time for women's turn." ”
Liang Jian understands that equality and equal rights are meaningless to them, and the pain of male oppression will inevitably lead to hatred. There is hatred, but how can it be eliminated because of a few words, so he changed his words and spoke from the practical meaning.
"What will happen to the Lady after that? Men oppress women, women are forced to resist to oppress men, and men will resist without being able to bear the oppression, upside down and back, endlessly. There will be many more times in this world when there will be no peace. She said word by word, loudly, and there was a truth in her words, "Besides, this world is half male and female, if you really kill all the men in the world, then you don't know if you want to kill until the Year of the Monkey, and fighting each other will be a lose-lose battle after all." It is already bumpy and difficult for women to have equal rights, let alone women. ”
"Equality? You say that it is difficult for women to ascend to the sky, but I say that equal rights are a pipe dream. Yuan Xi didn't deny it, but just sneered.
"Even if you dream, you have to make a dream that is easy to realize, otherwise it will be a dream after all." She smiled slightly, shook her head and said, "Men should not be beaten to death with a stick, and some of them are willing to accept equal rights or even support equal rights." ”
"You're talking about the Wu Dao Sect?" Yuan Xi's tone was slightly mocking, and his eyes were full of doubts, "People draw cakes for you, you really believe it." ”
"It seems that we still don't speculate, so I don't need to say more." Liang Jian said helplessly, "That's it, I won't join the Xuanwu Gate." ”
"I believe that Miss Liang is also a smart person, Beichen Yuan is getting stronger and stronger now, you can think about it, but there is not much time left for you, do you think that if Beichen Yuan is in power, will the first person targeted be you, the person who has repeatedly opposed him?"
Want to threaten her? joke, what she hates the most in her life is being threatened, "I am very sincere in cooperating with you, since you don't plan to cooperate, then I won't bother much." Merely...... If the Xuanwu Gate could kill Beichen Yuan, it would not have taken any action until now. ”
"You don't need to worry about whether the Xuanwu Sect has the ability or not, but Beichen Yuan is strong, and you Dao Sect will bear the brunt." Liang Jian was very uncomfortable to hear the door master's hoarse voice like an old horse, she plucked out her ears a little irritably, looked at the door master's hideous mask, and did not have the slightest fear in her cold eyes, "Xuanwu Gate has indeed been at its peak over the years, but it is not strong enough to fight against this damn stallion world, right?" She paused for a few seconds in the middle of her words, so that the three people on the stage could weigh the current situation clearly, whether it was Xuanwumen or Wudao Sect, dormant for more than ten years, or even decades, could only be said to have caused slight skin injuries to this damn world, and could not hurt the inside. In this situation, they are just wasting their efforts, and if they really want to shake the world, they will probably have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.
Seeing the three of them look at each other, she continued, "Before the enemy falls, I think we should be allies, not calculating each other behind our backs. If we are not reassured of each other, then if the enemy counterattacks, it will be difficult for us to unite against the enemy. Seeing that Yuan Xi and Liu Yueming's expressions seemed to be a little relaxed, she continued to say step by step, "You want me to join Xuanwumen because you value me as a fellow book wearer, both of whom are disgusted with the stallion world, and even more value the system support behind me." That being the case, I am willing to make a blood alliance with you, not to be your puppet. ”
"Allies?" Yuan Xi pondered, she was thoughtful, and the door master on the side did not speak, but was silent, as if he was also thinking about something.
"That's right," Liang Jian continued while the iron was hot, "I have something I want to do, and I definitely won't join." Then they will be allies, equal status, and I can generously share resources with you and assist you. That way both parties can make a profit, isn't it? ”
"That's true," the door master pondered for a long time, but still didn't want to let go, "I know from your attitude that you are unwilling to join, but the secret method of our Xuanwu Gate is not passed on to outsiders." ”
"The master of the door, I can understand if you don't pass on outsiders, after all, if the identity of the person wearing the book is exposed, it is easy to attract the use of ill intentions, and even the pursuit of the background." Liang Jian continued to argue without humility or arrogance, "But now the situation is urgent, Beichen Yuan ...... The system has been generated. ”
"Hmm," the door master replied absentmindedly, his tone was slightly uncomfortable, and Yuan Xi and Liu Yueming's faces were not much better.
"It seems that the Xuanwu Gate has already been investigated,"
"Yours is a tough seed," the master pondered for a moment, muttered with some appreciation, and added, "a smart man, too." "The Taoist heart is firm, the original intention is not forgotten, and the brain is more flexible, if such a person can join, it is a pity.
Yuan Xi understood what the door master meant, and her heart was clear, she got up and went to the back hall, as if she had ordered something. After a while, she came out, followed by a female escort with the blood of the blood and other utensils needed for the alliance.
The door owner walked down the steps step by step, the wind blew the sleeves of his shirt to reveal the arm inside, Liang Jian was slightly stunned when he saw it, and then immediately returned to normal. Her arms were covered in horrific scars, knife marks, and even burn marks, except for one arm with the experience written all over it. The door master followed Liang Jian's gaze and looked indifferently at his scarred arm, as if he had long been accustomed to his appearance.
The ritual of the blood alliance was also not so cumbersome, so after a stick of incense, the alliance between them was confirmed. At the end of the ceremony, the door master took out a parchment roll from his bosom, which looked very ancient, she handed it to Liang Jian with both hands, and only said, "Wait for the good news, may you go well." ”
Liang Jian looked at the somewhat heavy parchment scroll in his hand, and suddenly felt a little unreal. This...... Got it? She also prepared a lot of rhetoric and small means, and even thought that if she couldn't do it, she would grab it directly. They embarrassed her so easily, looking at their sincere and serious eyes, she silently lowered her head, she was so despicable. It belongs to the kind of shame that the elderly will suddenly give themselves a big mouth when they lie on the recliner and the years are quiet.
"Don't worry, wait for my good news." She opened it and took a cursory look at it, and then she carefully stuffed the parchment into her arms, and was about to leave Yuan Xi stepped forward and said, "Since you have written it down, destroy it first, so as not to fall into the hands of others." ”
"Huh?" Liang Jian paused, his expression was a little embarrassed, and he said with a little hesitation, "I didn't remember." She just glanced at it superficially, and the specific details are so easy to remember, after all, the protagonist's halo handover ceremony looks very complicated. She doesn't have the ability to never forget, even Aoshuang's swordsmanship and mental method are memorized for a long time, she must have the foundation of the strongest brain, and she will not always fail the course.
The three ......of them were silent, speechless, and regretted whether they were entrusted to someone else, and they were worried about the future.
In the end, Liang Jian memorized it hard for several hours, and the rolling melon on his back was ripe, and he memorized it by heart, so he destroyed the parchment paper.
