Chapter 17 Encountering the Lottery Mansion
The ancients did not know the present time and the moon, and the present month once looked like the ancients. Under the bright moonlight, a man in a black robe was hiking in the mountains, sighing in his heart. At this time, there were voices from behind the boulder in front of them, and they carefully identified what seemed to be the quarrel of the women's football team.
Although the man was a little surprised, there were people from other forces who had entered the mountain, but he was not curious about who the person in dispute was and why. The grievances of the rivers and lakes, the game of forces, the battle of the avenue of martial artists, and even the things that make money and become interested are countless in the rivers and lakes. Men are not naΓ―ve enough to think that they should punish evil and promote good, and save beauty for heaven or heroes. Let's not talk about whether I have the ability to do it. Even if he really has the ability, how can he easily judge it based on what he sees at the moment, or the different words or words of the two parties involved. If a man wants to kill another person to avenge his father, but who knows whether the whole family of his father-killer was killed by his own father? If a man wants to blaspheme a woman, and the woman only says that she has been victimized, who knows whether it is a woman who pretends to seduce and has other intentions, but does not expect to do a fake show? If a group of robbers rob a wealthy businessman, if they only think that the robbers are harmful, but do not ask whether the rich businessman's money comes from a clean way, and whether they oppress the good people to take advantage of it, and whether the robbers are bankrupt and displaced because of the collusion between officials and businessmen? If someone robs the rich and gives to the poor, and only thinks about taking the rich man's money and distributing it to the poor, but does not ask why the poor are poor, and whether they are daydreaming every day in vain trying to get something for nothing?
Therefore, in the eyes of men, the so-called chivalrous hearts on the rivers and lakes are just the momentary brain fever of reckless men, and many of the so-called punishment and elimination of evil are arbitrarily judging the life and death of others with their own concepts of right and wrong, which is no different from the grass and human life. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and men will naturally not participate in disputes involving others at this time, not to mention that everyone here is not a friend or foe in the face of interests.
The man was about to bypass the boulder and change his path, but he seemed to be noticed by the person behind the stone. A cold cheer flashed out from behind the boulder with a shadow of a pink skirt, stopping in front of the middle-aged man. "Who is it, what are you doing here?" the woman held a long whip with peony embroidery on it.
Eight more women then came out from behind the stones, four of them wearing the same pink skirts as the whip-wielding girl, and the other four in purple dresses. The four women in pink skirts stood on either side of the middle-aged woman, showing vigilance and murderous intent, while the four women in the purple skirt seemed to have seen a savior, and a look of surprise appeared on their faces.
The man did not know the nine women, but he did know their costumes. In today's rivers and lakes, some sects are well-known to women and children, some because of their profound heritage and strong strength, and some because of the uniqueness of the sect. The sect to which the nine women in front of him belonged was the latter.
In Baozhen Prefecture in the eastern part of Great Xia, there is a faction called Cai Phantom Mansion. The disciples in the house are all women, and when selecting new disciples in the sect's philosophy, in addition to examining their martial arts qualifications, they will also use women's beauty as one of the criteria for choosing their entry. There are also sect forces that only recruit female disciples on the rivers and lakes, but there is only one Colorful Fantasy Mansion that brings together so many beautiful girls. And the women in the mansion will mostly marry young Junyan from other sect forces and become immortal couples, so the Colorful Fantasy Mansion has formed a lot of incense love with many forces in the entire Baozhen Prefecture and even the entire Great Xia. Therefore, although the overall power of the Colorful Illusion Mansion cannot be compared with the first-class major power sects, its status in Baozhen Prefecture is also not to be underestimated by other forces.
Legend has it that the founder of the Colorful Fantasy Mansion is a beautiful woman, but because she fell in love but did not have the result, she disappeared from the world for nearly 30 years, and after returning to the martial arts, she slaughtered the entire sect with her beloved, causing an uproar in the rivers and lakes. When she pointed at the man she loved, the other party was already a flower-haired old man who was close to the age of sixties, and to the man's surprise, the years had not stopped at the woman's face in front of her, and the woman still looked like a girl. Since then, there has been a force on the rivers and lakes that is composed of women called the Colorful Fantasy Mansion, at first the people of the Colorful Fantasy Mansion were dedicated to killing the world's negative men, and it also once caused the dissatisfaction of other Jianghu forces and regarded them as people of the Demon Dao, but several major forces in Baozhen Prefecture have been encircled and suppressed several times in succession and have returned. It is said that the people of the Colorful Fantasy Mansion practice two kinds of magic: charm and illusion. The so-called charm is a special medicine with eyes and words, which can charm people's minds under the effect of exercises, so that the mind of the person who is enchanted is controlled by the person who performs the magic;
The Fantasy Mansion has always been divided into two factions, and the people of both factions regard themselves as the orthodoxy of the Fantasy Mansion inheritance, and the open and secret battles between the two factions over the years have been a secret known to everyone in the rivers and lakes. The Illusionists wore pink dresses, while the Illusionists favored purple dresses. It is said that the current lord of the Colorful Illusion Mansion is a descendant of the Illusion lineage, and she once narrowly defeated her senior sister who was the heir of the Charm Sect in the battle for the head of the year. But because the head of the family has a gentle temperament and doesn't like to fight with others, it was only because he was the most outstanding disciple in the illusion line that he had to participate in the battle with the master of the mansion of his senior sister, which is also the rule of the Fantasy Mansion in the past. And after she took the throne, because of her weak temperament, she was often suppressed by her senior sister and secretly seized power, and now she has the tendency of doves occupying the magpie's nest. When the man thought of this, he saw the nine people in front of him and understood that it must be a disciple of the first line of enchantment who wanted to harm his fellow disciples here. Thinking of this, he didn't have the slightest interest in checking it, so he said: "I was just passing by and disturbed a few fairies from the Colorful Fantasy Mansion, please forgive me." It's just a way to borrow the road, and I also ask the fairy to make it convenient. The tone is friendly, neither humble nor arrogant.
Before the leading woman could speak, a woman with high hair next to her said, "Why did you come here after so many roads, I think you are clearly the concubine of that slut!" The woman's face turned pale when she heard this, her lips trembled, and her head was red.
The man glanced at the woman who was pointed at and said, "Fairy Shenyan, I don't know anyone in your mansion. In this tomb, the people all came to seek opportunities, and they just walked around and came here at will. As for the affairs in your house, I have no intention of interfering, let alone participating. "The man thinks that what he said is clear enough, that is, whether your Colorful Fantasy Mansion is infighting, or fighting for power and profit, it is your own family matter, Lao Tzu is here to pick up cheap and make a fortune, and he has no interest in your.
The woman in the pink skirt who was blocking in the middle nodded, put down the whip in her hand, and said to the few people beside her, "Give way" and walked to the side of the road, and the other four also gave way for the men to pass. The man clenched his fists and thanked him, and was walking forward, but unexpectedly, a woman in a purple skirt suddenly pointed at the man and shouted: "You ungrateful and unrighteous negative man, my senior sister is so good to you, but you deceive her with clever words and make so many vows." You agreed with my senior sister to kill these fox sluts here today, why are you so scared when you see the other party?
After speaking, he sneered. The man was shocked when he heard this, he really admired the ability of the woman who spoke to fabricate the facts, and the lies were repeated in one go, saying so loudly, sonorously and powerfully, and full of righteous indignation, he almost believed that he was really a negative man who was ruthless and unrighteous in the woman's mouth. But when the shocked woman opened her eyes and said nonsense, the chill and killing intent in the man's heart boiled, a vicious woman, this was clearly trying to pull herself into the water. When he saw the re-arching gaze of the man in the pink skirt and the killing intent contained in it, he knew that he was afraid that these stupid women also believed in the reversal of right and wrong of the girl in the purple skirt.
The man was in no hurry to leave, nor was he in a hurry to move. Although he knew the methods of the people of the Colorful Illusion Mansion, he had never seen it, and he didn't know if he could still use the magic technique when this kind of cultivation was suppressed in the mud embryo realm, so he didn't want to act rashly. He turned his head to look at the woman who was speaking, and asked with some mockery: "Oh? You said that I swore an alliance with your senior sister, and that I agreed with her to help you kill your fellow disciples again? Then you must have seen me? Do you know my name, and from which sect I come from?"
The woman hesitated for a moment, her momentum was not as sharp as Fang Cai, and she said with some hesitation: "Naturally, I know, as for the power and name of your sect, my senior sister did not tell me." β
The man smiled and said, "Since you've seen me, tell me what I look like?"
"Look?" the woman said without thinking, "Naturally, he is a young and handsome boy with a face like the moon." The woman was very puzzled why this man asked this kind of question, listening to this person's voice as a young man, and the young handsome boy she said casually did not say, this description is very broad, even if the man really looks like Langyue, the people present will only think that she is saving some face for her senior sister's lover.
When the man heard this, he burst out laughing, and the contemptuous mockery in his voice confused everyone present. The man slowly pulled down the black robe on his head, revealing his cheeks. By the moonlight, everyone was shocked when they saw the man's appearance. Not to mention whether it is a handsome young man with a face like Langyue, this person has a withered yellow complexion, a middle-aged face, and his face reveals a sick face, which has nothing to do with the handsome young man. "This is the handsome boy you said with a face like the moon? Again, the man sneered.
The face of the woman who spoke before was like ashes, she wanted to play some scheming, she could pull this person into the water, and be hostile to the person in the same vein of charm, maybe they still have a glimmer of life, but she didn't want to, although this person's voice was like a handsome son, the appearance was so unbearable, so that a fool could also see that she had framed this person before. Not to mention that a few people from the Enchanting faction will definitely not be embarrassed by this person, her previous calculations were all in vain, if this person joined forces with the people of the Enchanting Sect in a fit of anger, then the four of them would be even more murderous and unlucky. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but regret her self-righteousness and self-cleverness.
The man turned to look at the woman in the pink skirt who was the leader, and said with disdain: "Fairy, it seems that the people of your sect seem to have lost their minds, and it is better to bring out less disciples like this, if they come out to talk nonsense and say something that should not be said, we vulgar men will naturally not take it seriously, but if you tarnish your reputation as a fairy, it will be very bad." β
"What Mr. is saying is that this kind of unabashed criminals who have ruined the reputation of my Colorful Fantasy Mansion, we will naturally clean up the portal on behalf of the sect. Please also ask Mr. to leave first, don't stain Mr.'s eyes with ugly things in my house. The man smiled at the woman and wanted to leave.
At this time, there was a "plop", and the girl in the purple skirt in the middle knelt on her knees, kowtowed to the middle-aged man, and said: "Sir, sir, please stay, it was my junior sister who was confused for a while and slandered Mr. before, and I apologized to Mr. for her." But we were besieged and killed by our fellow disciples, and my junior sister also had no choice but to make this decision, just hoping that my husband could rescue us. β
The middle-aged man did not stop, and said coldly: "I have no intention of interfering in the affairs of your Colorful Fantasy Mansion from the beginning, there are so many sects in the world, and there are so many rights and wrongs in the rivers and lakes, how can I manage it alone? I'm not a chivalrous man, I like to be chivalrous and righteous. What's more, the rights and wrongs in your house can be explained clearly overnight. Even if your junior sister begged me with kind words just now, or knelt down and begged me like you, I might not care. It's not that I'm hard-hearted, it's that I shouldn't be in charge. What's more, your junior sister has such vicious intentions, not only reversing black and white and fabricating the facts that I am having an affair with you, but also trying to get several of your fellow disciples to attack me at the cost of your innocence and Mingjie, girl, so that I will be forced to help you deal with them. Fortunately, God has eyes, so I have this ghostly face, and fortunately, several of your fellow sisters Bing Xue are smart and have seen through your junior sister's vicious tricks, otherwise I would really be pitted into the water by you. You are in danger of mud Bodhisattva crossing the river is difficult to protect, do not seek more blessings to find a glimmer of life, but actually have the heart of harm, vainly trying to harm innocent people, all say that the yellow tail has the upper hand, the poisonous scorpion tail is on the needle, I think it is really dwarfed by the heart of Senior Sister Ling.
The man stopped, turned his head to look at several women in purple skirts who were trembling with defeated faces and continued: "You should feel lucky, glad that I am a consistent person, I said that I would not interfere in the affairs of your Colorful Fantasy Mansion, so I will definitely not interfere. Otherwise, with Senior Sister Ling's words just now, I should have been in the same vein as your few charms, and it was my sisters who made a move on you. I don't make a move, it's not that I pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and it's not that I'm pretentious and sanctimonious. It's just that as I said, this has always been the housework of your Fantasy Mansion. It doesn't matter whether it's your Shizun and Shi Boming fighting in the dark, whether it's your charm and trying to usurp power, or whether it's your illusion and fighting against you. Because for this world, for this rivers and lakes, there is only the Colorful Fantasy Mansion, regardless of the two veins of illusion. So for you, the Phantom Dispute may be a matter of heaven and earth, but for those of us who have no interests entangled with your Fantasy Mansion, it is just a small matter of sesame. I think even for the other forces with which you do business, even if they are now in close contact with one of your factions, and they move around a lot. If you do change, they will still be like glue to your opponents. With that, the man shrouded his whole body under the black robe and walked away.
He turned a deaf ear to the sounds of fighting and fighting behind him. Human life is not a trivial matter to him, but he does not care about women. As he said, if he saved the lives of several people in the same line of illusion today, would he want to kill the people of the first line of magic? Then is he saving people or killing people? And what about tomorrow? If there are other grievances and disputes in the rivers and lakes in the future, his master will intervene, will he have to save the lives of those who are about to die? If he is saved today, if he does not save them in the future, will he be killing people again in the future? Perhaps people in the world will always feel that they should sympathize with the weak and bully the weak, but if they really help the weak, whether the weak will become strong, and whether the strong will become weak, and how should we make a decision at this time? Heaven has the way of heaven, man has humanity, and the rivers and lakes have the way of the rivers and lakes. Men will never think that what they think is right, let alone teach and write what they think, and become a learning that everyone in the world believes in. He only thinks that if there are fewer self-righteous and righteous people in the rivers and lakes, maybe there will be fewer grievances in the rivers and lakes.
