032, Xin Shu's heart knot (II)
These words almost didn't choke Qiu You, and the mountain master's expression and tone were very calm, and he didn't look panicked at all. The description of this city lord has not changed much compared to that year, but his eyes are clearer and sharper, and he also adds an invisible majesty.
If it were in another place, people would have called him the lord of the city, but here, everyone was not used to this, and they all called him Lord Shan. If you just look at the description, it may be more appropriate for the children to call "Uncle Shan", this city lord obviously has cultivation as well. But Qiu You didn't care, even if Ruoshan had some magical powers, how could he be his opponent.
Qiu You really cared about Ruoshan's reaction, which made him both surprised and inexplicably disappointed. Especially the look in Ruoshan's eyes made Qiu You feel extremely uncomfortable, the other party was sitting and he was standing, but that gaze was like a condescending scrutiny. If Ruoshan screamed or shouted for the guards, Qiu You would cast a spell to suppress the sound and immediately restrain it, but now this scene made him temporarily discourage the idea of making a move.
What if Ruoshan is prepared, Qiu You straightened his body as much as possible with his hands behind his back, maintained an indifferent expression so as not to lose the momentum of the master, and asked coldly: "Ruoshan, how did you know that I would come?...... In that case, you should know who I am and why I am here, right?"
Ruoshan smiled, this smile was meaningful: "Of course I know who you are, there were children in the fish village back then. As for the intention, I was just about to ask you personally, what is the intention of sneaking into the City Lord's Mansion in the middle of the night?"
Qiu You: "City Lord, even if others forget, how can you not remember the matter of the Yu Clan, and ask me why I came?"
Wakayama: "I didn't invite you here, of course you have to ask yourself." Let me guess that you came to avenge the fish, and you came with the right courage. But you've been around the area for a few days, and you've probably found a lot of people to inquire about the past. It's not so straightforward at the moment, is it?
But you are still full of confidence, and you dare to break into the city lord's mansion alone at night to find me. I'm just sitting here, and if you have anything to say, I just want to know what revenge you want? Is it the fault of the innocent that there are bandits in the world who have not succeeded in mutilating the innocent? Could it be that I did not allow the big fish shells and the fish clan to slaughter in the past, so I made a feud with you?"
Qiu You glared at Ruoshan for a long time. And the city lord in front of him looked calmly, without any flickering. He finally shook his head and said, "Ruoshan, I have investigated the matter back then, so today I am not here to seek revenge on you, but to forgive you, and forgive you as a member of the Youyu clan!"
This is the truth, this is the reason why Qiu You came here to find Ruoshan after finding Xin Shu and knowing all the details. He was going to stand in front of this city lord as a member of the Ariyu clan. Watching the lord panic and cry in front of him and beg for mercy, he would eventually express his willingness to forgive Ruoshan.
Forgiveness is not only a gift, but also a relief for Qiu You, which allows him to regain his sense of existence that seems to have become illusory. Wakayama suppressed the village of Ariyu and became the lord of Shanshui Castle, and ten years later, he pardoned the people of the village of Ariyu. What Qiu You has to do today is to let Ruoshan be in the position of the forgiven person in front of him, a member of the Youyu clan, so that he can get back a certain feeling that he has always wanted to get back.
Although this idea has changed a lot from the original intention of revenge. But change doesn't mean giving up.
Ruoshan smiled, waved his hand and said, "Mr. Yu." You can forgive whoever you like, but I don't need to. Whether you forgive me or not is your own business, and it doesn't matter to me. You've seen what happened, but you're still living in your own world, and you don't understand what you're doing.
If you are really upright and confident. Why don't you just go to the city lord's mansion and ask for a meeting, and why sneak in at night? Does anyone need to forgive another person so sneakily? The person you came to find is not me, but the me you imagined, trying to do something to that person in order to prove the meaning of your existence.
It's a pity. Everything in this world does not exist to satisfy your existence. For me, it doesn't really make a difference whether you come to me or not, with you or without you. ”
Qiu You couldn't help but be stunned, he thought that his heart was strong enough, but unexpectedly, Ruoshan in front of him was far more powerful than he imagined. This is like Ruoshan being respected by all the people in the Northern Wilderness, but he himself does not deliberately pursue it, or even necessarily needs this kind of respect, it is just the natural result of what he has done, and he does not need Qiu You's forgiveness at this moment.
In the unlit back hall, there were two people standing quietly. Xuanyuan stretched out his finger and poked the tiger baby and said, "Listen to what the mountain master said! If you are really full of confidence and think that you can face it, why should you be sneaky in your actions? I think that at the beginning, you sneaked into Chiwang Hill and almost lost your life!"
Qiu You entered the City Lord's Mansion tonight, in fact, he was even more reckless than Hu Wa as a ** Tanchi Wangqiu, in a sense, they made the same mistake. Huwa smiled bitterly: "My situation is different from Qiu You, right? But I did something wrong at the beginning, because the experience was too smooth, so it was inevitable to act rashly, and finally planted a big heel." ”
Xuanyuan: "This is the lesson of growth, even if it is you, you will make mistakes." ”
Huwa smiled and said, "Yes, I was beaten by the mountain master when I was a child......! I grew up in Cuizhen Village. The last sentence actually made Xuanyuan's face red, and he was a little hot in the dark.
Qiu You in the hall was obviously angered by Ruoshan's attitude, and slowly spoke: "Is that so? It seems that you still don't know who you're talking to. You will beg me for mercy, open your mouth and ask for my forgiveness and forgiveness......"
As he spoke, Qiu You's arms opened slightly, and he was about to cast a rule to control Ruoshan, he didn't believe that Ruoshan could remain so calm after being taken down by himself, and the corners of his mouth even showed a hint of mockery. But at this moment, Qiu You instinctively felt that something was wrong, Ruoshan was still laughing, and the smile turned into ridicule.
In his consciousness, he heard a "whoosh", something had come from behind, no wonder this city lord had no fear, it seemed that he had already laid an ambush, but how could he be afraid of this ambush......
What flew was a rattan circle, and Qiu You thought that he would be able to knock it away and counter the sneak attacker, but he couldn't block it in time. The rattan circle spread out in the air, covering his body, Qiu You shouted and divided his arms, and he didn't care about anything else, trying his best to shatter the confinement of this magic weapon.
Although he was drinking, no sound was heard in the hall, and the burst of mana was inexplicably annihilated. I saw Ruoshan flick the guide lightly, triggering the two lights in front of the case, and activating them together with the other ten lights in the hall, and the light and shadow of the lamp flame suddenly stretched and intertwined into a magic circle, which immediately dissolved his burst of mana.
It's no wonder that Ruoshan lit these twelve lights, it turned out to be a magic circle that had been laid out a long time ago, and Qiu You was too big to notice the mystery in advance. With the ability of Vengeance, it was still difficult to deal with this magic circle, so he could no longer block the rattan ring, and then he felt his whole body tighten, and his arms that had just opened had been firmly tied back to his body, and his magical power was also banned.
If you use the metaphor of a martial arts competition, this fight only took two moves, and there was no movement to spread out, Qiu You was taken down on the spot, and he couldn't help but be shocked when he came back to his senses. Ruoshan launched the light array and didn't make a direct move, Qiu You couldn't see the depth of his cultivation, but the sneak attacker behind him was definitely a Dacheng monk, and the rattan ring that bound him was also an artifact!
Ruoshan looked behind Qiu You and said, "Didn't I always advise you not to do anything and let him talk well?"
A woman walked out around Qiu You and sat down directly beside Ruoshan. Ruoshan's seat could barely seat two people, and he consciously moved to the side and squeezed down. Only then did Qiu You see clearly that the person who came should be the city lord's wife, Granny Shui, but it was actually a woman with a beautiful face, and it might not be appropriate to call Granny Shui.
Granny Shui said with a frosty face: "If you hadn't stopped me in the past few days, I would have done it a long time ago." The way he looked just now was so bad that I couldn't hold back. ...... Why do you want to launch the magic circle, do you think that I can't do it, and I have to ask you to help?"
Ruoshan said with a smile: "Of course not, madam, as soon as you make a move, how can you not take him?" It's just that in the middle of the night, if the movement spreads, it will disturb the rest of others, and maybe it will also disturb the people in the city. ”
Ruoshui: "Without your help, I can also take him down cleanly, and I won't alarm others!" I just want to try the power of the artifact, this kid is also a master, where do you usually find this kind of opponent, do you want me to practice with you?"
Qiu You was still standing in place, bound by the rattan ring and unable to move, even surprised and depressed and almost vomited blood. With his cultivation, he would not have been captured so easily, but he was negligent in his defense, and he did not have a powerful magic weapon in his hand. Granny Shui's magical power was not under him, and he attacked with the help of an artifact, and Ruoshan also launched a magic circle to help, and he was not unjustly lost.
Although Xin Shu told Qiu You a lot of things, the news that Qiu You inquired about was related to the Youyu Clan, how could he think of asking about Granny Shui's situation, and there were some situations that Xin Shu didn't understand.
It's not that they don't trust Xin Shu, but Ruoshan and Ruoshui have maintained their usual caution, and they haven't told anyone about the Taihao ruins and the mountain gods. Although they have cultivated to the fullest, they don't have to do anything on weekdays, they don't deliberately show their supernatural powers, and the realm of cultivation is not written on the door of their heads. Xin Shu didn't know that Shan Ye and Granny Shui had both broken through Dacheng cultivation one after another, and today made Qiu You a big heel.
What made Qiu You even more depressed was that after the city lord and his wife took him, they talked to themselves there, as if it was a matter of course to easily capture him, and it was not worth making a fuss about. He didn't know, in fact, it was really like this, Ruoshan and Ruoshui were waiting for him to come to the door with their own artifacts, the magic circle had been set up in the hall, and there were still faceless tiger babies and Xuanyuan in ambush in the back hall.
