Chapter 492: The Road to the Sky
"A group of tortoise sons with strain."
Although Li Hua's words are in the dialect tone of the Sichuan and Shu regions, just by looking at the arrogant tone and contemptuous demeanor, people can understand the meaning contained in it.
was scolded by a girl who was no more than the size of a palm's nose and scolded the soft egg, and the man named Jiang Wei in the lead couldn't help but show a look of shame.
But among this group of uninvited guests, he was the only one who showed such a look, and most of the others standing behind him frowned, swept Li Jun with a jealous gaze, pursed their lips and did not speak.
"Brother Li, can you make way for us to kowtow to Lord Su Xiong?" Jiang Wei asked with a sincere expression.
"You can, but these people can't."
Li Jun raised his eyes and swept around, ignoring the ugly faces of these people who were like swallowing flies, and tilted his head slightly, asking Fan Wuyi and the others who were blocking the front to make way for Jiang Wei.
"Thank you."
Jiang Wei froze his mind, held his head high, looked straight ahead, and passed by Fan Wuyi with a sneer.
"Dingjun Mountain Sect sent Wu Xu Si Jiang Wei to bow to Lord Su Xiong."
Instead of caring about the cold rain and the dirty mud all over the ground, Jiang Wei knelt down and kowtowed respectfully to the low tomb.
In fact, for Jiang Wei himself, he didn't know much about the male lord in front of him, and he never even had any intersection with the other party.
However, one thing he knew very well in his heart was that apart from those soft bones who were willing to survive under the Three Sects, Su Ce was one of the few remaining Orders in the entire sect's martial order who did not choose to flee overseas and remained in the territory of the empire.
It is also the only one in the entire Ming Empire who did not choose to be incognito and steal his life.
With this alone, Jiang Wei deserves to respect this unmasked senior from the bottom of his heart.
And part of the reason why these people can survive to this day is because Su Ce stood in front of the stage and blocked the open guns and hidden arrows from other forces for them.
Now, the flag has fallen.
"Old Su, let's go."
His forehead, which had sunk into the mud, slowly lifted, and the dirty muddy water flowed all over his face.
After worshipping, Jiang Wei stood up, but the first thing he did was not to raise his sleeves and wipe his face, but to clasp his fist at Li Jun, who was standing aside.
"Brother Li, don't worry, we didn't deliberately follow you, nor did we investigate your whereabouts. To be able to meet you today is purely a stupid way to wait for the rabbit. ”
Jiang Wei said: "After the news of Lord Su Xiong's death was transmitted back to the empire, the division commanders of various sects and factions let us enter the territory of Liaodong and scatter in various cities to wait. They said that if you return to the empire itself, you will definitely come to Liaodong. ”
"Sects and factions?"
Li Jun glanced at the figures standing in the distance, and asked with a light smile, "It seems that there are really a lot of you people?" ”
"Not much, really."
Jiang Wei was keenly aware of the sarcasm and indifference hidden behind Li Jun's smile, sighed helplessly, and said gloomily: "Let me tell you the truth, there are no more than ten fingers of the Martial Order Sect that still has the ability to inherit in the entire Ming Empire. The current martial order is already a veritable bottom of the twelve sequences, maybe one day, a new sequence will be born in the genes of the Ming people, and we will completely disappear from history. ”
"Ten fingers? It's a lot better than I thought, I always thought they were all dead. ”
Li Jun smiled and asked, "Why haven't I heard of your existence before?" Is it really so well hidden? ”
Among the martial arts of the sect that Li Jun came into contact with, in addition to Su Ce and Huang Shilie, there was also a Jinyi guard who was transferred from martial arts to soldiers, Wei Weian.
Looking back now, it is very likely that Wei Ruoan was once one of them, but the sect to which he belonged suffered an accident, and he had no choice but to change the sequence in order to survive.
In addition, Li Jun never had any contact with other sects of martial arts.
"The world is stronger than people, and we hide it because there is no other way."
Jiang Wei said bitterly: "After the division of martial arts in the world back then, the backbone of the martial order was almost dead and wounded, and the beams and pillars that could support one side of the third order and above also collapsed, and almost everyone who barely survived was injured, so they could only find a place to hide and lick their wounds." Wu Xu is strong, but it is definitely not without shortcomings. Whether it is flesh or metal, there is a limit to what it can endure, and when the injuries accumulated to a certain point, it will cause damage to the body and genes, and even form a collapse. It is not like other sequences, as long as the brain is not damaged, and the body can be restored to its original state. ”
"Su Qianhu can't maintain the strength of the peak martial arts, and the impact of aging only accounts for a small part, and the real reason may have a lot to do with the bloody battle that happened here back then."
Huang Tianmen, Huang Baolong.
Hearing this, Li Jun instantly thought of the Huang Tianmen hidden in the Wa District, and nodded lightly.
"Wu Xu is already in decline, but the forces led by the two families of Buddhism and Taoism still want to wipe us out. In order to completely eliminate the chance for the sect Wuxu to make a comeback, in addition to sending people to hunt us down, they also began to target the Wuxu gene in their own population base, and wanted to strangle all the newcomers of Wuxu in the cradle through thoughts, beliefs, speeches, etc. The people you see now, a few decades ago, were all rare geniuses in the martial arts, but now they are just lucky enough to survive and slip through the net. ”
"And with the popularization of sorghum technology, more and more people choose to implant various auxiliary equipment to lower the threshold for breaking the lock and advancing to the order, but at the same time, it also destroys the pure physique, so that there are fewer and fewer new martial orders."
"It's not that we don't have blood and they are desperate, it's really a lack of personnel, one less if you die, and one more death may lead to the destruction of the entire sect. So now we basically live in remote and inhospitable areas, low-key survival. ”
Jiang Wei laughed at himself and said: "After all, it is not only the Buddhists and Taoists who are chasing and killing us, our bodies are also the best research materials for the military order and the agricultural order, and it is the basis for their research and development of the mechanical heart and the Qianmo surgery." Although today's sect martial arts are not alone, they are no longer much different from alone. ”
Listening to the other party's heart-to-heart words, Li Jun's face was not even the slightest expression of sympathy, and he teased: "It seems that you are indeed not good at living, but since it is not easy to live so hard, how dare you so many people come forward now, and you are not afraid of being wiped out by those who are staring at me?" ”
Faced with Li Jun's question, Jiang Wei didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only shake his head helplessly and smile bitterly.
"I know you're not here to mourn the old man today."
Li Jun looked at the other party with interest and asked, "Say, what is the purpose?" ”
Jiang Wei sighed heavily when he heard this, his lips were silent for a long time, as if something was in his throat, and he didn't know how to speak.
Seeing him twisting like this, in the crowd of people who were hanging on the side in the rain at this time, some people couldn't hold it anymore and came out of the crowd.
Judging from his appearance, this is a middle-aged man with a beard, and he only heard him say with a righteous attitude: "Senior Brother Jiang is right, we are not afraid of death, just to revitalize the martial order, so we will endure humiliation and lurk down, and everything we do is just to wait for the most appropriate time." ”
"Now Brother Li, you have been promoted to the solo martial arts order, which means that the time has come. As long as you are willing to share the promotion ritual of the Duxing Martial Order, we can find a way to cultivate more Duxing Order, and the re-emergence of the Martial Order will be just around the corner. And with our help, it's easier for you to get revenge. ”
"Now that I believe what you said, it seems that you are indeed not from the same sect. And it's still a bunch of loose sand with not very good brains. ”
Li Jun patted Jiang Wei's shoulder, turned his head to look at Wu Xu, who was still chattering, and said coldly, "When did I allow you to speak?" ”
"Me"
A look of shame and anger appeared on the man's face, and he wanted to continue speaking, but a cold face suddenly crashed into the sight in front of him.
Suddenly, a hard carved talisman was shoved into his open mouth, and his five fingers like iron hoops clasped tightly around his face.
"Woo."
The man's eyes widened in horror, and a muffled whimper erupted from his stuffed mouth.
"Sickness."
Chen Qisheng coldly spat out a word, and the Dao pattern carved on the edge of the talisman seal quickly lit up.
Bang!
With a low muffled sound, the head that was clasped in the palm of Chen Qisheng's palm exploded instantly, and the overflowing strong wind blew his robe with a grinning sound.
"Who else is going to speak?"
Chen Qisheng brushed his sleeves and fanned the rising gunsmoke, wiped the blood on his face with his thumb, and swept his cold eyes around.
Maybe they rushed up and could kill Chen Qisheng, the Daosi, on the spot.
But Chen Qisheng is not alone, not to mention that at this moment, beside Jiang Wei, the strongest among them, there is also a smiling lone martial artist.
"I just heard you say that you've been waiting here for a long time?"
Li Jun turned his head to look at Jiang Wei, whose face was pale, and said softly: "But when I went up the mountain, where you are standing now, there was a standing sign that I don't know which one left behind. The words 'Condolences for the Ruins of the Earthquake Garden' are written on it, and it can be seen that it has been placed for many years, and the card has long been rusty. ”
"Zhenyuting is the sect of Old Man Su, you have hidden your head and tail all these years, and he is left alone to stand in the poor mountains and bad waters of the Wa District, holding up the banner of the sect's martial arts. If he doesn't say some of the reasons, can you pretend you don't understand? ”
"Since you have chosen to protect yourself and sit back and watch others suffer humiliation and do nothing, then why should I help you? Then the road is facing the sky, and everyone goes to the side! ”
