"There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. ”

Since he was a child on Xishan Island, Jiang Yichen can often see this sentence in his script, and often hear this sentence from the stories told by adults.

At that time, he was still ignorant, but whenever he heard about the dramatic reversal of those relatives and friends becoming mortal enemies and enemies turning into allies, he couldn't help but be surprised.

After years of involvement in the rivers and lakes, except for incarnating as a member of the Netherworld Sect, Jiang Yichen has never faced the embarrassment of the relationship between friend and foe.

Jiang Yichen also understands that in this world or in the whole world, as long as there are certain interests to be made, people will take risks; when the interests are big enough, people will ignore family affection and trample on the law; and if the benefits are quite rich, people will even risk the world's condemnation to do things that are tragic and exterminate humanity.

Four years ago, these people on Buji Island were still trying their best to find out the details of the Tushi Gang, and Xie Fei and the smiling Maitreya hit each other hard, but when Jiang Yichen re-entered the rivers and lakes, the two gangs had already turned into a hostility.

Although the two are not bitter and bitter, they can reach the point of advancing and retreating together, and they naturally have to seek common benefits.

Jiang Yichen made up for the shortcomings of his cultivation in order to learn "Yin Feng Gong", and became a black impermanence and a tiger skin.

In order not to fall into a dilemma, he agreed to the life-and-death gambling transaction proposed by Lu Hao.

Now, the smiling Maitreya also proposed a deal to him, which was nothing more than some kind of exchange of interests.

Jiang Yichen took a deep breath, and slowly stood up against the temple wall with the help of the egg.

He rushed to the people of the island to salute one by one, and then turned around to leave on his own.

He didn't say anything, and he turned down the deal with silence.

He was afraid that he would be entangled with the Netherworld Sect again, and today he was in the company of the Tushi Gang and others, how should he face Zhangsan who could only spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair, could only talk through his eyes, and could only survive by relying on the care of others?

Jiang Yichen hadn't taken two steps yet, and the smiling Maitreya had already blocked the way, and Sen Ran sneered: "I think Jiang Shaoxia misunderstood." Brother Xie came forward to protect your life, it does not mean that you have gained freedom. ”

As soon as these words came out, in addition to Xie Fei's face as usual, the five people on the Buji Island side, Egg, Mei Huaijin, Lan Sheng, Shu Tong, and Xiao Liuzi all looked apologetic.

On the other hand, the other three people of the Tushi Gang, the Shadow Buddha has always been indifferent in the dark where the bonfire can't shine.

Chang Kun only looked at Jiang Yichen with one eye, and his thick lips outlined a disdainful arc.

Ji Qianlu raised her cheeks with great interest and watched the development of the situation.

Jiang Yichen stopped, looked directly at the smiling Buddha on the black robe, and said, "I don't know what the Maitreya gang leader plans to do with him?"

The smiling Maitreya said: "It depends on who you are at the moment?"

Jiang Yichen said: "Please also ask Maitreya to help the master advise." ”

The smiling Maitreya said: "If you are the black impermanence of the Netherworld Sect, we must maintain harmony between these allies who are denounced by the righteous path as an evil sect every day, no matter what, you can go back by yourself, I will help from now on, as long as you don't come to offend, there will be no more difficulties." ”

"Return?" Jiang Yichen quickly caught the key words in his words, "So, if I don't rush back to the Death Cave immediately, my life will still be lost?"

The smiling Maitreya said: "After the Netherworld Sect has suffered several big losses in recent years, it has become more and more troubled by gains and losses, and has been acting steadily, and it has been extremely low-key recently, mostly nesting in Xijiang County to plan and strategize. ”

"You are wandering alone, and there are people in the sect who come to find you for a life-and-death duel, and then trace back to the scene of rebellion on the Wujian Ping, which is enough to convict you of apostasy. ”

"Although I take the lead to help you take your life, I am suspected of overstepping my bounds, but there is nothing I can do. ”

At this point, the smiling Maitreya deliberately glanced at Xie Fei and continued: "Kill a traitor, presumably Brother Xie will never stop him again." ”

Xie Fei was indifferent when he heard this, and seemed to acquiesce to the smiling Maitreya's statement.

"Of course, it won't be difficult to capture you back to the Nether Cult and wait for your fate. The smiling Maitreya looked back at Jiang Yichen, shook his wide sleeved robe, and concluded, "All in all, if Black Impermanence is unwilling to return to the Netherworld Sect on his own, I can give you a ride." ”

Life and death are in the hands of others, and Jiang Yichen will naturally not be bluffed by the smiling Maitreya's words.

Instead, he waited for the smiling Maitreya to answer the rest of his identity one by one.

"If you are Jiang Shaoxia of the Moral Alliance, then it is okay to spare your life for the sake of Brother Xie's face. ”

"I'll dismiss you on the spot, though. ”

"After that, no one cares where you want to go. ”

When he only heard the word "waste", Jiang Yichen suddenly realized how he had fainted before.

He had just tasted it the other day.

In that half of the valley, Senior Brother Long spent three days exchanging swordsmanship and martial arts with him.

Before leaving, he broke the weakness of his current and future cultivation.

He even specially told him to find a solution as soon as possible.

Who would have thought that he would be taught to encounter a hard bone like the smiling Maitreya in a few days, and in just a few moves, he would be seen through his strong and middle-class appearance, and a flaw would be pointed out in one move.

Jiang Yichen had several beads of sweat hanging between his forehead, and there seemed to be a burning sensation in the dantian that had not faded.

The smiling Maitreya's words became more and more peaceful.

"If you're not the first two, you're just an ordinary swordsman on the rivers and lakes who only represents yourself. ”

"So, as I said before, why not make a deal?"

Jiang Yichen still didn't speak, pursed his lips, clenched his fists, and clenched his sword.

He only has the strength to move forward now, but he can't take a single step.

The smiling Maitreya's voice became gentle.

"I think I know what Jiang Shaoxia is worried about. ”

"You're afraid to cooperate with us, so you have to put your heart into it. ”

"You're afraid that over time you'll find that we're not as vicious as you think. ”

"You're afraid of falling in love over time, and suddenly you realize that we can be friends too. ”

"Then, you can no longer kill us, fail your old friends, and be ashamed of your heart. ”

Jiang Yichen's heart was broken, but in the previous moment, he had pulled out his dumbness and stabbed at the smiling Maitreya.

The weak blade of the sword stabbed out, like the immature little hand of a child waving to an adult, which was easily held by the smiling Maitreya.

The smiling Maitreya smiled instead of being angry: "Hehehe, when did Jiang Shaoxia play the sword as a toy?"

As far as the swordsman is concerned, this statement can be described as murderous, and the egg couldn't sink his breath anymore when he saw this, and pulled Mei Huaijin with one hand and shouted: "Brother Jiang, are you investigating the situation of the nursing home these days?"

Don't look at the smiling face, Maitreya looks pleasant, and the five people on Buji Island feel creepy just watching from the sidelines.

Facing an old devil, Jiang Yichen's entire physical and mental state is undoubtedly led by the nose, how can he be an opponent.

The egg woke up in time to interfere and pull Jiang Yichen a handful.

Jiang Yichen was stunned, exhaled a few long breaths, and adjusted his mood.

The smiling Maitreya didn't lose his anger at the destruction of the eggs, and when he saw that Jiang Yichen's breathing was gradually calming down, he let go of his dumbness and teased: "It's a shame that Jiang Shaoxia has stirred up the chickens and dogs in Shu and Guizhou these days, and his state of mind is so fragile, should it be said that these people in the rivers and lakes are too stupid? Or are these people in the rivers and lakes too stupid?"

Jiang Yichen put away his sword, tried his best to forget what happened before, and said cheekily: "The stupid and stupid man made the Maitreya gang leader laugh. ”

"The Maitreya gang leader specially brought me here, both intimidation and humiliation, and I am not a killer, obviously not for a lowly life at my fingertips. ”

"The deal that Maitreya is talking about has something to do with this almshouse?"

Seeing that Jiang Yichen returned to normal, the egg pinched Mei Huaijin's hand, patted his heart and liver, and breathed a sigh of relief.

The smiling Maitreya no longer went around in circles, and said bluntly: "More than that, we need Jiang Shaoxia to help convey information." ”

Jiang Yichen knew that "we" naturally referred to the Tushi Gang and Buji Island.

He asked, "It seems that the content of this information is very important." ”

The smiling Maitreya said, "Of course." ”

"In that case, why did Maitreya Gang Master and you choose me, and why do you believe me?"

"Quite simply, there aren't many people we can trust, and among them, you are the best fit we can find at the moment. ”

"What's the bargaining chip?"

"When my purpose is accomplished, you can come and take my head. ”

"It looks like I won't be waiting long. ”

"If nothing else happens, it won't be long. ”

"Is this information urgent?"

"It must be delivered within 10 days. ”

"So I'll have to leave tomorrow at the latest. ”

"The sooner nature is, the better. ”

"But I still have one thing to solve. ”

"I can tell you about the sanatorium right now, in fact, you have some guesses in your heart. ”

"Speculation is speculation after all, and there is no real evidence, and conclusions are made, just in case. ”

"Do you remember that rainy night before the Hundred Flowers Festival?"

“...... Since then, you've been investigating the almshouses?"

"There are coincidences, things are accidental, but when all kinds of phenomena are implicated logically, and there is no problem, it is the biggest problem!"
