Chapter 341: Teahouse Storm
After saying goodbye to the master brothers, Zhuge Chen and Wang Daxue went down the mountain one after the other.
The viewer looked at the back of the white clothes and said softly: "It's hard to imagine what the world will be like in a few decades, or even shorter. As long as there is this person, the chaotic situation in the world's rivers and lakes will eventually be truly unified one day. ”
The Taoist priest looked at his senior brother's face and said, "Why does senior brother have high hopes for that young man?"
"Pinning?" said the viewer laughed, "I don't dare to use this word, and it's just a fact." A few days ago, a bamboo basket with a wonderful body died in the south to draw water, and it was that young man who made it. It's really ruthless, fighting to lose all of your realm, and you have to do what you dare to do. Those of us who hesitate to think about the consequences are far inferior to him!"
The Taoist priest also knew that with his senior brother's soft sigh, even if he asked again, he couldn't ask anything. Fortunately, he is not a person who has to know the ins and outs of the matter and disturb himself, looking at this Qiu Feng's unique snow scene, he said softly: "It's freezing outside, senior brother, let's go back to the house." ”
The viewer grabbed a handful of snow in the air, kneaded it in his hand, and lifted it up with his own majestic qi and sent it to the top of the stone statue in front of the Taoist temple. Things like this were often done when it snowed when he was young. Of course, he was scolded by the master because of this.
"I'm a cultivator of the realm of the True Dao, how can I feel unwell because of the cold? If the junior brother feels cold himself, there is no need to accompany me, just go back first. The viewer said with a smile.
The Taoist priest lowered his head stupidly, cold and cold, but the senior brother finally walked out of that room, and he just left, wouldn't it be a waste of a good opportunity?
The Guan Master seemed to see what his junior brother was thinking, and said, "Don't worry, at least until I leave this world, I won't draw the ground as a prison like before." The scenery of mountains and rivers is beautiful, you have to see it all, and I am better to leave the world without worry. ”
"After all...... Do you still want to go?" the Taoist priest asked softly.
Guan Zhu nodded, and said firmly: "You don't have to persuade you anymore in this matter, junior brother, since I embarked on the path of cultivation, I have thought that I can leave this world and see a higher scenery. ”
The two were speechless, and they couldn't persuade each other, so they didn't say anything. This was the tacit understanding between the two brothers, and as they smiled at each other, they turned and walked towards the house.
At this time, the prince and his party finally walked out, and some of the guards carried the bamboo basket that could not be seriously injured under the blow of the watcher to fetch water, and the rest were all supported by the prince's side. The high-spirited prince who climbed the mountain now looks a little lost, he raised his feet and walked forward, stumbling and almost falling to the ground, and the middle-aged man next to him is also six gods and no master, he has no identity that can save his life, if he is really remembered by others, I am afraid that he will not even survive tonight.
The Lord had no thought of talking to them, and walked straight by. And the Taoist priest who knew what had happened did not forget to add fuel to the fire and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will come often in the future, and the incense of our Qiu Feng Taoist Temple will all depend on you!"
The prince, who wanted to be furious, raised his head and wanted to scold, but he still remembered that the inconspicuous Taoist priest was the junior disciple of the Guan Lord after all. After thinking about it, he sighed, stopped talking, and walked down the hill with his guards.
Today's trip is really self-defeating. And even if the banquet on the Yanqing River in the evening has no purpose to continue, the invitation has already been sent. At that time, there will be many young and handsome people going, and now the prince can only stop losses as much as possible.
After getting off Qiu Feng, the prince dismissed his guards and the middle-aged people around him, and went to a teahouse alone to drink tea to calm his mind.
There are a lot of customers in the teahouse today, and the shopkeeper himself is in a hurry. In addition, although he is a prince, he doesn't show his head often, so it's normal that no one can recognize him. And with the prince's chaotic thoughts at this time, he just wanted to drink a few cups of warm tea quietly and then return to the deserted East Palace.
But before he could take a few sips, a young man walked into the teahouse and sat down in front of him. The man looked handsome, and with a smile on his face, he seemed to be very easy to get close to.
The young man asked the shopkeeper for a pot of tea that was not too expensive, and then chatted with the prince: "It's snowing in the capital, and the weather is really cold, no wonder there are especially many people in the teahouse today." There aren't a few seats left, I'm sitting here, I guess Childe won't mind, right?"
The prince was not in the mood to say anything, so he just shook his head.
"Although this teahouse is old, it is said to be a century-old brand in the capital. Most people don't know that those who can come here to drink tea are either noble sons with whims, or scholars with smooth careers and more leisurely and elegant reads. I don't know if you, Childe, are you the former or the latter?" the young man replied to himself, "It can't be both, right?" Then let me guess, it should be a frustrated person who is entangled in trivial matters?
The young man smiled lightly, poured himself a cup of tea in the mist, and then said: "I am a business student, and I can barely be regarded as a prince, and in terms of identity, I should be similar to you, the crown prince." ”
No one should have thought that on the first day after the snow fell, Shang Xue, who was a disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Academy, would find the prince of Dayan, and he could see at a glance that the prince had come to this teahouse with troubles to drink tea and relieve his worries.
To say that there is no covert monitoring in this, no one will believe it. Therefore, the crown prince frowned and said in a cold voice: "You spy on me? A prince of a great merchant wants to make a fuss about Prince Dayan, if this matter spreads, even if you are in your identity, your reputation will probably be rotten, right?
There was a lot of noise in the teahouse, and naturally no one cared about the conversation between the two. Even if the shopkeeper passed by the two of them, he was just thinking about delivering the tea to the guests as soon as possible.
In front of the public, these two young people, who would not normally meet at all, sat together, each with their own thoughts, but they were waiting for the other party to speak first.
Shang Xue smiled lightly, waved his hand and said, "Spy on the prince, come and meet again?" I really don't have the guts. It's just for Zhuge Chen, and you happened to go to him, the prince. ”
"You dare to spy on Zhuge Chen?" The prince looked at Shang Xue and smiled contemptuously: "You are a cultivator, and he is also a cultivator. I don't think you have what it takes to spy on him without him noticing, and even more so that you're still his loser. If you want me to believe, please come up with stronger evidence. ”
Shang Xue didn't have any violent emotional fluctuations because of the words "his subordinates are defeated", and he was almost relieved of that defeat in his heart. Unless Zhuge Chen is aggressive word by word in front of him, it is really difficult for other people's cynicism to make him angry.
"Now he has lost all his realm. Otherwise, where would I dare to spy on him?" Shang Xue lightly stated this fact that few people knew, and then he added: "After all, I am far from being an opponent with him today. To be able to kill a bamboo basket with wonderful skills to draw water with my own strength, I'm afraid that only if I step into that realm, I can do it!"
In the life-and-death struggle between cultivators, defeat and slashing are always two different things. Because if one party wants to flee for his life, his opponent has no way to do it if the realm is the same.
And Shang Xue also understood one thing from this, the gap between him and Zhuge Chen is getting bigger and bigger. Although his realm has reached the peak of the Mandate of Heaven, it is extremely difficult to change positions and want to kill Liuyang.
He ...... The realm is completely lost?" The prince frowned and said, "What does that have to do with me? And you came to me today, could it be that it was for Zhuge Chen? If that's the case, please ask the prince to leave." In any case, he is a member of my Dayan. As a crown prince, I can't do anything to my own people!"
Shang Xue laughed, and with his strange laughter, even the entire teahouse fell into a dead silence.
"Sorry to disturb you. Shang Xue suppressed his laughter and said softly, "Let's just continue to drink tea." "Yunxuan Pavilion
At that moment, a man stood up from his chair. He is Liang Shirong, the eldest son of the Liang family, and this teahouse is also his family's property. More importantly, this person is also a disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Academy, and he has been admitted to the academy for three years. Above the realm, it is already only one step away from the bamboo basket to draw water.
Now that he can enter the academy, the future realm will at least start with the destiny. However, this Liang Shirong, like business, is in practice, but he himself knows one thing. If you want to be among the bamboo baskets in this life, there is no big enough opportunity, I am afraid it is an extravagant hope.
The barriers between each realm vary from person to person. To say something relaxed, like Zhuge Chen and business, as long as you settle down to practice, of course you can't stop it. It is also true to say that it is difficult, because many people will not be able to step into the bamboo basket for the rest of their lives. As for the so-called magic arts, let alone so.
Since penance is not allowed, Liang Shirong has to go through the customs to seek an opportunity to break through. However, he still couldn't find a way, and it was during this period that he learned about the deeds of this person in the academy.
Originally, many of the disciples of the entire Ten Thousand Swords Academy were under his control. It was the sudden rise of business that made his status more and more declining. In today's Wanjian Academy, there are many people who don't know him Liang Shirong. But to find someone who doesn't know business is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
Being able to be so smooth on the road of cultivation is from a big family like the Liang family, and Liang Shirong's pride is not inferior to business at all. He tried to provoke Shang Xue several times to provoke a big war between the two. And the business scholar who was bent on Zhuge Chen ignored him at all, and proved with his actual actions that the other party was not worthy.
And today he didn't expect the other party to appear in this teahouse, he stepped forward, stretched out his finger and tapped lightly on the table, and then said: "A prince of great commerce, sit down with my prince of Dayan, are you really afraid that after being seen, it will spread all over the capital and fall into the mouth?"
Shang Xue raised his head, his eyes full of indifference. He was not surprised, he had long been accustomed to trying to minimize those unnecessary panics. Moreover, he didn't take this genius cultivator who came out of the Guogong Mansion in his eyes at all, after all, in his heart, time geniuses were divided into two grades. The first class belongs to him and Zhuge Chen, and the rest belong to the other class.
On the contrary, the prince was shocked, but fortunately, he covered it up well and did not reveal too much emotion. But he still looked at business and turned to the other party for help. Just like Liang Shirong said, if the meeting between the princes of the two countries really spreads to the streets and alleys like a rumor, there is no room for explanation. Where would the people care so much, they would definitely scold him as a prince to the blood, and the emperor might not deprive him of his crown prince in a fit of rage.
Shang Xue took a sip of tea and signaled the prince not to panic too much, and then he said to Liang Shirong: "What exactly do you want to do, just say it." ”
Those who are familiar with business know that he has already moved to kill at this moment. And under his murderous intent, only Zhuge Chen is still living leisurely.
"It's simple, you fight me. If you lose, you will honestly work in the Ten Thousand Swords Academy in the future. Liang Shirong said slowly: "As for me losing...... It's not possible. ”
"You're not confident. Shang Xue sneered and quickly got up. Before he could pull out of the fight, he threw a lightning-fast punch.
However, Liang Shirong is not a waste, although he took this punch in a bit of a hurry, he still launched a counterattack after accurate judgment.
There are not many children of big families in the capital who can have such skills, and Liang Shirong is one of the best. Even at this time, he still had spare strength and said, "This place is narrow, why don't we go out of the teahouse and go to an open and uninhabited place to fight?"
Shang Xue nodded and said, "Just what I want." ”
The two of them immediately walked out of the teahouse and went to a sparsely populated place on the outskirts of Beijing. And this move that was in the heart of business made him laugh. If he was in the capital, in full view of everyone, no matter how brave he was, he would not dare to kill a son of the prince's mansion in this foreign land.
However, in this wilderness, what business students dare not do will be logical. Since Liang Shirong didn't know what to do, he deliberately said that he met the prince, and he was doomed to not be able to live. Otherwise, the matter will be revealed, and the reputation he values will also plummet.
Shang Xue shook his shoulders and slowly pulled his fist open. At this time, he was like a devouring tiger, ready to send his fists into Liang Shirong's heart and lungs at any time.
Stepping forward, Shang Xue let out a long roar and handed out a punch.
Liang Shirong hurriedly intervened to stop him, but this time, under his full preparation, he was still beaten backwards and coughed up blood. His eyes were filled with disbelief, but the facts were in front of him, and he couldn't believe it. He looked down at his arm, the bruises on it bulging, and the slightest exertion of the pain was too much for him to bear.
"That punch in the teahouse before, you actually hid your strength!" Liang Shirong roared: "You are the prince of the Great Shang, you are so shameless!"
"Don't be tired of cheating, don't tell me you don't understand this. Shang Xue said lightly: "You are stupid, but you blame others, it's really funny." If you can touch me, you can't punch me back? ”
This remark was very polite, Liang Shirong couldn't run smoothly in one breath, snorted, and fell to the ground. And Shang Xue just looked at him coldly, rubbing his wrist, ready to hand out his killing move at any time.
"You really dare to kill me?!" Liang Shirong frowned and slowly got up. Of course, he knew in his heart that his life was now in the hands of the other party, and as a business student, even if he really killed him, it would not cause too many waves in this capital. Even if it is provoked by someone with a heart, as long as the academy comes forward, everything will gradually subside.
The value of a living Liang Shirong is not as good as that of a business student, let alone after his death. And if he was really killed by Shang Xue here, even if someone saw them walk out of the teahouse with their own eyes, they could not arbitrarily judge that Shang Xue killed him.
In this capital, there are not a few people who want to curry favor with Dayan behind their backs. Of course, the situation is almost the same on the side of the Imperial City of the Great Shang Dynasty.
Shang Xue looked at Liang Shirong and suddenly laughed: "On weekdays, before I kill a genius in the eyes of others, I will have a trace of joy that I don't want to admit." However, since becoming a defeated general under Zhuge Chen, this emotion is not only gone, but a little sad. You must be wondering why it's right, I'll tell you, just listen. ”
The prince of the Great Shang Qizhu smiled almost sickly: "I feel extremely disgusted when I think that he Zhuge Chen would have the same thoughts when he defeated me. What is this? I don't care, if I change it to someone else, I don't think it's okay. ”
Liang Shirong opened his mouth and asked, "What do you mean by talking to me about this?" ”
Another punch hit Liang Shirong's chest. This punch is extremely tricky, and the force is just right. It will not let Liang Shirong faint, but also let him feel the pain in his body.
"I said you just listen, why are you in a hurry to die?" Shang Xue sat next to Liang Shirong and said, "I always thought that as long as I could live, I could do whatever I did and what I listened. How did I get to you, it doesn't feel the same. ”
"Actually, I don't need to say it!" Shang Xue laughed.
He slowly pulled his fist apart and smashed his chest under Liang's horrified gaze.
Since coming out of the devil's cave, the character of the business school has become more and more crazy. Until now, it's as if I've gone mad.
He stared at Liang Shirong's corpse in front of him, and actually leaned down and began to eat. After a while, he wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth and said to himself, "How is it, have you eaten well?"
