Chapter 289: Persuasion
Half an hour later, there were only Dharma Protectors and two Holy Envoys in the guest room of the Holy Lotus Sect, as well as Bai Song.
The atmosphere in the room was dull, and the Dharma Protector was silent with a cup of tea, only to see the green tendons in his palms burst out, twitching slightly, for fear that he would pinch the teacup if he was not careful.
The Dharma Protector didn't speak, but everyone knew why the other party was so dignified.
The fire phoenix broke the peace: "Do you want to find a way to get rid of him?" ”
"If you kill him at this time, what should the disciples of the Famous Sword Villa think? Will they still trust us? Qing'er whispered.
The Dharma Protector put down the teacup and said in a deep voice: "A rat spoils a pot of soup." It's that little devil who came out to make trouble again! ”
Bai Song asked, "Could it be that the news is fake?" ”
"Of course not!"
"Since the news is true, why don't you let me try to persuade it?"
"Shangguan Xiu's oil and salt don't enter, how can it make sense." The Dharma Protector obviously did not believe in Bai Song's abilities.
But the fire phoenix said: "If it is Bai Song, maybe it is really possible." Last time, he gave the young owner a sword, and Bai Song won the trust of the owner. ”
The Dharma Protector's eyes changed slightly, and then he looked at Bai Song: "Is it really possible?" ”
"How do you know if you don't give it a try?"
Time is pressing, if the people of Mingjian Villa are killed and don't leave, they can only be left as cannon fodder for the imperial court.
"There's just one thing left to try."
……
After a stick of incense, Bai Song appeared outside the courtyard of the young owner.
Perhaps he really made up his mind, Shangguan Xiu began to practice swords after returning to the courtyard.
The sword aura in the courtyard was overflowing, the fallen leaves were flying, and the breeze was faintly tingling with a sword scrape.
Bai Song silently admired it on the side, and found that the young master's swordsmanship was very beautiful, more like a dance, with a bit of manly heroism.
It's a pity that Bai Song doesn't know swordsmanship, so he can't see the way at all.
The young owner deliberately hung Bai Song on the side, and when he saw that he didn't speak, he didn't stop practicing his sword.
The two of them were at a stalemate for a while.
Compared with concentration, Bai Song naturally had a good edge, and after a while, Shangguan Xiu couldn't bear it anymore, and glanced at Bai Song with his sword: "If Brother Bai is here for today's matter, there is no need to waste his lips and tongue." As I said before, if we don't talk about the Holy Lotus Sect, we might be friends. ”
"If you're a friend, what's not to talk about?"
Shangguan Xiu frowned, quickly returned to the room, and took out the sword he had sent out from the room.
Without waiting for Shangguan Xiu to speak, Bai Song first asked the doubts in his heart: "Why is the young master so disgusted with the Holy Lotus Sect?" ”
"What the Holy Lotus Sect has done is something I despise, and what I am practicing is the sword of a gentleman, and I will never be in the same league as the evil demons."
"If you don't make friends with the Holy Lotus Sect, you can be a gentleman, then this gentleman is too easy to be, right?"
Shangguan Xiu originally wanted to return the sword, but when he heard Bai Song say this, he couldn't help but be curious: "Then what do you say is a gentleman?" ”
"I don't know what a gentleman is, but I am definitely not a gentleman like the young owner."
"Why?"
"Because a gentleman never calls himself a gentleman."
"A gentleman never calls himself a gentleman?"
"A gentleman is a gift from others, not his own seal, and he who claims to be humble and courteous, hide his good and heart, show his inferiority to the outside, always learn and advance, and always reverence."
"Then Brother Bai is consciously a gentleman?"
"Of course I'm not a gentleman, I'm just a complete villain. Because it is easy to be a villain in this world, but it is too difficult to be a gentleman. The young owner wants to be a gentleman, but I am afraid that he will not live long in the future. I was greedy for life and afraid of death, and if I wanted to live longer, I was willing to degenerate into a villain. ”
Shangguan Xiu frowned again: "What do you mean by this?" ”
"I just want to sit down and say a few words to the young owner, why is the young owner so excited, and he actually took out all the swords I sent."
Shangguan Xiu groaned for a moment, feeling that he was a little extreme, then pointed to the stone table beside him, and sat down first.
Bai Song sat down and looked at Shangguan Xiu: "Young Zhuang Master, I'm curious, your Famous Sword Villa said that it was against the imperial court, why didn't you cooperate with the Holy Lotus Sect?" ”
"I've answered it before."
"Then I'll change the question." Bai Song paused, "I don't like the Holy Lotus Sect because I have seen what the Holy Lotus Sect has done, and what is the reason for going against the imperial court?" Could it be that he has also seen all kinds of evil deeds of the imperial court? ”
"Today's court is full of miasma, intrigue inside and outside the court, all kinds of gates are fighting, and the people everywhere are not happy, so how can the court make people angry?"
"Today's imperial court ......" Bai Song smiled lightly, "Young Zhuang Master, with all due respect, your words are not only used in the current imperial court, but also in the imperial courts of all dynasties. Think about the previous dynasty and the Sui Dynasty, isn't it the same as the miasma, intrigues, door valves, and the people are not happy? ”
"Front! It ......" Shangguan Xiu was suddenly excited, but when the words came to his lips, he sat down silently.
Bai Song continued: "Young Zhuang owner, when the water is clear, there are no fish, there is no perfect court in the world, and people's eyes cannot never enter the sand." ”
"You are from the Holy Lotus Sect, why are you helping the imperial court speak?"
"What I'm talking about is just reality, the young owner's hatred for the imperial court and the Holy Lotus Sect is, in my opinion, just some hearsay. It's not what I saw with my own eyes at all, although the young owner of the village is calling for wind and rain in the famous sword villa, and his reputation is extremely high, but he still has less vision and more purity. I won't say much about the reason why the eldest husband can bend and stretch, for the sake of a momentary anger, he has to pull the lives of so many disciples? ”
"I said we could talk about it again without mentioning it."
"Since the young master has such a high reputation among his disciples, why can't he leave with his disciples? Since the Holy Lotus Sect wants to win over your people, why can't you use the Holy Lotus Sect as an umbrella? At least pretend to get close for a while, and when there is an opportunity, then gather your own people to leave, in order to make a comeback? ”
Shangguan Xiu was stunned, and looked at Bai Song in surprise, he really couldn't figure out how to hear such words from this mouth?
Isn't he trying to persuade himself to pit the Holy Lotus Sect?
Bai Song smiled: "Didn't I already say it before?" I'm just a villain, and the Dharma Protector asked me to persuade you that I have to complete the task. I only care if you promise to leave with your disciples, but I can't guarantee whether you will be sincere. ”
Shangguan Xiu twisted his eyebrows and looked at Bai Song, and then looked at the sword in his hand.
Suddenly, I felt that the person in front of me was a little inconsistent with the person who gave the sword.
Bai Song squeezed out a smile: "Don't worry, since I advise you to leave with someone, I will naturally help you get out of the Holy Lotus Sect, and if you refuse to back down because of the gentleman's face, then I will take the young owner lightly." Think about those disciples, they are willing to follow you to death, can't you survive for them to wronged yourself? ”
