Chapter 172: The Ambition of the Heroes
Under a huge black dragon relief stood a white-haired old man, this old man was Nie Qianchou, the top figure of the evil sect in the past. His eyebrows were like snow, his face was solemn, and he held a golden scepter in both hands to support his entire body. He looked up, and his old eyes could no longer see the orb in the dragon's mouth.
The ghost door was created by him, and it has gone through countless ups and downs to get to where it is today. Even Jun Linyuan, who was regarded as the first person in martial arts back then, was still defeated by the years, and he was still alive, he lived more than thirty years longer than his opponent. For more than 30 years, he suffered from illness, but he did not show it in front of anyone.
A strong man does not allow himself to be cowardly, and he often whips his back, because the hot pain can arouse his inner fighting spirit. When a person lives, he always has to do something.
He lives because he wants revenge, for his love, for his friends, for those who have died. Thirty years ago, in a war, the ghost was defeated. Fortunately, he was able to escape thanks to the desperate protection of a few loyal men. In his heart, revenge is everything, everything is for revenge. In addition to hating those righteous martial arts people, he was also full of hatred for the entire Ming Dynasty.
A man's lifespan will eventually be limited, and he knows that his years are numbered, so he needs to find a qualified heir. This heir is neither his son nor his grandson, but a man from the Oni Sect. In his opinion, the great cause of the Ghost Sect is difficult, thorny along the way, and full of blood and cruelty.
He didn't want his sons and grandchildren to get involved in this storm, so he arranged everything for them early in the morning. In his heart, Jin Gongzi was the most suitable candidate, because he believed that this apprentice of his hated Daming as much as he did, and only such a belief could ruin the Zhu Ming Dynasty.
Maybe in the near future, that day would come soon, but he knew he couldn't wait. A stone door opened, revealing a glow from outside. Then walked a young man, who was pale, wearing a jade crown and a black robe.
He walked across a long drawbridge to a platform. Nie Qianchou didn't turn around, listening to his footsteps approaching, he said slowly: "Xiu'er, you're here." Jin Gongzi said respectfully, "Yes, Master." Nie Qianchou said, "Do you know what is important for the teacher to summon you?"
Jin Gongzi said: "Master wants to ask about the situation in the Central Plains Martial Arts, and as far as the disciple knows, the four great Dharma kings have returned. The disciple's painstaking efforts in Jiangnan ruined the overall situation. Nie Qianchou sighed: "It seems that the Central Plains martial arts are not exhausted. Jin Gongzi said: "If there is a disciple who presides over the overall situation, it must not be such a result." ”
Nie Qianchou shook his head and said, "Xiu'er, as a teacher, I know that you are young and vigorous, and you must do your best in everything." However, you must know that nine times out of ten unsatisfactory things in this world, my ghost Xiangmen has been able to continue to pass on the incense for so many years, and in the final analysis, it lies in the eight words 'in times of difficulty, perseverance'.
To do a big thing, it is not a hero's work to stagnate when encountering a small obstacle. You have to keep these eight words in mind in order to be invincible. ”
Jin Gongzi said: "Yes, the apprentice remembers the master's teachings. Nie Qianchou looked at the black dragon and said slowly: "Xiu'er, I am an old teacher, just like the black dragon on this wall, it seems to be majestic, but it is actually weak. This great cause of the ghost sect is a teacher today, and I want to pass it on to you. ”
Jin Gongzi said in his heart: "Hmph, old fellow." If you had said this in the past, I would have believed you, but now I don't believe a word. He pretended to be frightened, knelt on the ground and said, "Master, the disciple's talent is shallow, and his foundation is unstable, so it is difficult for him to take on this great responsibility. Nie Qianchou said lightly: "Do you know why you were chosen as a teacher?"
The corners of Jin Gongzi's mouth raised a trace of disdain and said: "You chose me just to let the forces of the Underworld and the forces of my painting hall kill each other, and in the end pass on the throne to your son." Although he thought so in his heart, he said, "The disciple doesn't know, and I ask the master to make it clear." ”
Nie Qianchou turned around, pointed a finger at him and said loudly: "Because among this ghost sect, only you and I are the ones who hate Da Ming." Jin Gongzi said: "The disciple hates Da Ming because Ming Jun is hateful." And the disciple really didn't know that the master also hated Daming. ”
Nie Qianchou raised his head, the beard on his chin trembled, and said: "I hate Daming for my teacher, because the Dog Emperor took away my beloved, which made me and my beloved miserable. Since then, I have vowed to overthrow the Ming Dynasty, and if the Dog Emperor has ruined my life, I will destroy his society and displace his descendants.
It's a pity that Jiajing, the dog emperor, died too early, and I couldn't get rid of him with my own hands. All my life, I want the Ming Dynasty to fall, but I still can't do it. For the sake of the teacher, I am afraid that this grand cause will not be completed. And you, you have a deep blood feud, and only you can do what you can't do for your teacher. ”
This secret has always been buried in Nie Qianchou's heart, and he has never mentioned it to others. That is, he said it to Jin Gongzi today. Nie Qianchou's eyes flashed, he looked at Jin Gongzi and said, "You're here to kill me, right?"
Jin Gongzi's heart was shocked, and he thought that he might be able to succeed if he was defenseless. But he didn't expect his mind to be seen through by him. In an instant, the hands and feet were cold. He barely squeezed out a smile on his face and said, "Master, your old man is joking with his disciples. "Fate
Nie Qianchou said: "You are taught by me, how can you not see through your mind as a teacher." "Jin Gongzi knew that his master was extremely shrewd, and if he lied in front of him, he would definitely die a more painful death. I didn't take revenge, so I died, and I was unwilling. It's a pity that his master's martial arts are unfathomable, and if he wants to do it with him, he has no chance of winning now.
Jin Gongzi said dejectedly: "Since the master has seen through, then please ask the master to give the apprentice a death." Nie Qianchou smiled and said: "Silly boy, if I kill you, who can continue to complete my great cause?" Ye Kongqun?" Jin Gongzi said: "Mr. Ye has made great contributions to this sect, if someone can inherit the master's unification, Mr. Ye is naturally the first." ”
Nie Qianchou sat at a stone table and said slowly: "Ye Kongqun is a scheming person, and as a teacher, he can't see his true face clearly. If he wants to inherit my ghost sect, I am never at ease. The teacher knew that it was Ye Kongqun who said that he moved you, so let you do it.
You never thought that if you kill me, he will get rid of you. At that time, the seat of the master of this ghost gate will be his?"
Jin Gongzi had cold sweat on his forehead, he raised his head and said slowly: "The disciple knows, but the disciple has no choice." Nie Qianchou smiled and said: "The teacher knows what method he used to move you, he is telling you that I have a son, and if you kill me, you can lure out my son, and then exterminate my Nie clan." In the end, I will share the inheritance of the ghost door with you. ”
Jin Gongzi nodded, and Nie Qianchou looked at him and said slowly: "You are wrong, the old man has never had an heir. In order to complete the great cause of the Ghost Phase, I would have cut off the non-roots a long time ago. Otherwise, how could I have taught you everything, and I never hid any secrets. Because I know that only you can fulfill my last wish: to subvert the Ming Dynasty, and only you will spare no effort to do it.
Because you have hatred in your heart. Love can give a person infinite strength, and hate can do the same. We are the souls of those who have been pushed into the abyss, and we cannot see the light. Only this hatred can let us know that we are still alive, and we live to avenge those who died unjustly, and only revenge can make our hearts feel at ease. ”
Jin Gongzi cried bitterly with tears in his eyes: "Master, the disciple knows that he is wrong. Nie Qianchou paused and said, "I'll give you this old life." Jin Gongzi was stunned and said: "Master......" Nie Qianchou's eyes were full of love and said: "I have no heirs, I have always regarded you as my bloodline." Will you carry on my ambition?"
Jin Gongzi said loudly: "The disciple is willing, don't subvert the Ming Dynasty, the disciple is sorry for those unjust souls." He stretched out his sleeve and wiped the tears on his face and said, "But with the current strength of the disciple, he can't compete with Mr. Ye, so I ask the master to teach me." Nie Qianchou said, "You get up and sit beside me." ”
Jin Gongzi stood up and walked in front of Nie Qianchou. Nie Qianchou suddenly got up, raised his arm, and aimed the tip of his staff at Jin Gongzi's throat. Jin Gongzi closed his eyes and said nothing. Hearing only a "poof", Nie Qianchou pierced his lower abdomen with the golden scepter and knelt on the ground.
Jin Gongzi opened his eyes, hurriedly leaned down and said, "Master......" Nie Qian smiled bitterly: "Put it to death and then live." Do you understand?" Jin Gongzi looked at the old man, tears welling up in his eyes. Nie Qian said sorrowfully: "No...... Don't cry, he will be the master of this door first...... He'll do it. You...... You try your best to serve him first......" Before the words were finished, Nie Qianchou's head hung and he lost his breath.
Jin Gongzi's heart was at a loss, he never expected that Nie Qianchou would commit suicide, let alone that he would help himself. It wasn't until this time that he realized that everything was Bai Kexin's trick. He closed his eyes, letting tears run down his cheeks. After a while, he took the golden scepter in both hands and pulled it out, and blood sprayed his face.
He looked at the huge black dragon and said to himself, "Master, you are on the road so well, and your unfinished business will definitely be done for you." So saying, he turned and walked forward, facing the bright door.
Jin Gongzi half-knelt on the ground, raised the bloody golden scepter and said, "The painting hall is willing to serve Mr. Ye as the master." An old man in a purple robe with silver hair took the golden scepter, looked at it, and said, "Good, well done." As he spoke, he raised the golden scepter and slashed down at the top door of Jin Gongzi.
Jin Gongzi didn't even blink an eye. Just as the golden scepter was about to fall above his head, it suddenly froze in the air and did not move. This old man is Ye Kongqun, the lord of the Hades Tower. Ye Kongqun said lightly: "Have you ever thought that I would let you kill the door master, and then get rid of you." Jin Gongzi said: "My subordinates have thought about it. ”
Ye Kongqun put away the golden scepter and said, "Oh, since you have thought about it, why do you still want to do this?" Jin Gongzi said: "Because I know that Mr. Ye doesn't want to kill me yet." Ye Kongqun looked at him with a pair of cold eyes and said, "Why don't I want to kill you." Jin Gongzi said: "Because the descendants of the Nie family have not been found yet." ”
Ye Kongqun smiled: "I killed you, can I find it different?" Jin Gongzi smiled: "It's different." Because you can't find it at all, you don't know as well as I know the master, and only I can do it for you. Ye Kongqun asked: "The master of the door treats you like a father and son, and you are cruel to him." You're going to do the same to me one day. Instead of raising tigers, it is better to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. ”
Jin Gongzi said: "Mr. Ye is right, if I were you, I would do the same." But if the descendants of the Nie family can't find it for a day, you won't be able to sleep peacefully. The blood Gu in your body is only known to the Nie family about the true solution. And I am the murderer of Nie Qianchou, if I die, they will not show up. Only if I am alive and they want to kill me, you will have a chance to get rid of them. ”
Ye Kongqun said: "You are really a smart person. No wonder the door owner will value you. Okay, then you can lure the people of the Nie family out for me. Jin Gongzi said: "Okay." ”
