60. Solid and steady
Heavenly Evil Dao: "You are better than me in four words." The masked man wrote: "What are the four words?" After a slight pause, he said again: "What I lost to you is also four words." ”
The masked man said sharply: "What are the four words again?" Heavenly evil said: "The heart is buoyant and dry." The masked man wrote: "If you understand the truth, why don't you win with composure?"
"Alas......" Tianxie let out a long sigh, and then said: "The four words of calm and steady, not everyone can do it, I don't know how much work I have put into these four words, but it is easy to say, it is difficult to do, learning art depends on wisdom and perseverance, there is no difficulty, and half of being calm and steady is personal cultivation." ”
The masked man wrote: "I see that you are a lot of age, and it is inconvenient to force each other too much, and since you are willing to lose and accept defeat, you will abolish your martial arts and leave you an old life, are you willing?"
Tianxie's face changed abruptly for a while, and then returned to his original state, and replied lightly: "The old man is known as a tough guy, since he is willing to admit defeat, he is naturally at his disposal, anyway, he is already at this age, and it is boring to survive."
"But the old man has never bowed his head to anyone once in his life, and asked for one thing, and today he made an exception to ask you once, hoping to fulfill the old man. Heavenly Evil said slowly.
The masked man wrote: "Please say yes, as long as it is not in the way." Heavenly Evil Dao: "The old man was imprisoned for 90 years by the empty monk of Famen Temple, and this hatred has not been repaid." ”
The masked man wrote: "Do you want to abolish your martial arts after you take revenge?" Heavenly Evil nodded and said, "That's the request." The masked man wrote: "How much time is limited." ”
Heavenly Evil pondered for a moment in his heart, and said: If I can successfully obtain the "Heavenly Remnant Sword", I am not afraid that no matter how strange your martial arts are, I can also control you to death.
With a turn of thought, he said: "From here to Famen Temple, it is only more than 400 miles back and forth, I believe that you can go back and forth in six hours, with a limit of twelve hours, and then the old man will definitely come here and abolish martial arts in front of you." ”
He talked about Famen Temple, but in his heart he wanted to find the Yi-shaped sword that was rumored to be a martial arts. The masked man believed it and wrote: "Ninety years is a long time, and the empty monk may not be alive. ”
Heavenly Evil Dao: "Even if it is empty, the old man will also kill ten of the current elders and monks of Famen Temple to eliminate revenge!"
Abbot Tianhong's heart trembled when he heard this, and he prayed with his palms together, and said, "Masked benefactor, pray for your mercy and don't agree to his request!"
The down-and-out scholar smiled and said, "Old monk, what is this for? Even if the masked man agreed to his request, could it be that the monks of your Famen Temple are all tied hand and foot." ”
But the masked man wrote: "You are doing things for me, I promise you, but whether you can achieve your goal or not, you must come back according to the limit, and I will wait here." ”
Heavenly Evil nodded and said, "The words that come out of my mouth will not be broken." The masked man wrote: "Okay, if you say it, you can go quickly." ”
Tianxian bowed his hand, immediately turned around, and galloped straight towards the valley mouth, and the abbot of Tianhong saw that the masked man agreed to him, but he lost his previous composure, and was so anxious that he was at a loss.
He wanted to turn back immediately, and he wanted to block it on the spot, and his face changed several times, not knowing what to do.
The down-and-out scholar smiled: "Old monk, don't be nervous, let's start to block it first, in case we can't stop it, it's not too late to make plans." ”
The abbot of Tianhong was bold and arrogant after the courage of the down-and-out scholar, nodded and said: "What the donor said is right, it is a blessing and not a curse, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided." ”
Miss Jie laughed coquettishly and said, "You laughed at me for being stupid just now, if I set a fire, they won't be able to get out of the valley, although it can't kill them, but at least it can delay them for some time." Give the master ample preparation. ”
Abbot Tianhong said: "Jie girl, hurry up and light it." She picked up a handful of hay on the ground, turned and jumped to the place where the grass had been piled up, struck the fire and lit the fire, and when it was burning, she threw it at the haystack.
She had a good plan, and it was piled up with dry branches and thatch, which crackled and burned in an instant.
Miss Jie took advantage of the momentum and waved two palms, and the palm wind fueled the fire, and if a large pile of thatch suddenly became a prairie fire, the flames rose into the air, the smoke was filled, and the entire valley mouth became a sea of fire.
After the down-and-out scholar saw her set the fire, he waved his hand to Master Tianhong and said, "Old monk, let's hurry up and monitor, if the heavenly evil rushes through the fire and jumps out of the valley, we will start to block it, so as not to be threatened by the masked man here." ”
Abbot Tianhong said: "If the fire does not add firewood and grass, it will not be long before it will be extinguished." The girl said, "Let's go, I'll be in charge here." ”
Abbot Tianhong nodded and said, "This is the first place to bear the brunt, Miss Jie stays here alone, and the old man can't rest assured." ”
Seeing that Abbot Tianhong was worried about the girl's safety, the down-and-out scholar suddenly changed his mind and said, "Okay, let's lie here and see the movement." ”
As soon as the words fell, I only heard a loud roar in the sky, and when I looked at it, the evil of heaven had come to the mouth of the valley.
But when he saw him running to the fire, he took a closer look, and immediately pulled himself into the air, and rubbed himself up along the cliff opposite where they were crouching.
The down-and-out scholar suddenly stood up, waved his hand and said, "Old monk, let's quickly bypass the opposite side to block the attack, if we let him climb the back of the cliff, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with him!"
Abbot Tianhong was very grateful when he saw the enthusiasm of the down-and-out scholar, and immediately jumped behind him.
Mo Dao naturally couldn't ignore the danger, and also galloped forward with the two of them, the four of them just went around to the foot of the mountain on the other side of the deep valley, and happened to collide with the Heavenly Evil.
A few people from Tianxian leaned sideways to block the way, suddenly retracted the momentum of the forward pounce, pointed at the abbot of Tianhong and asked coldly, "Which monk temple are you bald?" He didn't expect to meet them here, thinking that he was also coming to grab a sword.
The abbot of Tianhong took a step forward, clasped his palms together and replied: "The old man's name is Tianhong, and he is the head of the Famen Temple today. Tianxie's face sank, and he asked coldly: "Where is the empty bald head?" Tianhong Abbot said: "I have no comment." ”
Tianxie raised his eyebrows, his eyes were like electricity, he forced him to look at Master Tianhong, and shouted: "The old man has an agreement with people, there is no extra time to find the empty bald head, so he has to cut off the heads of the ten elders of Famen Temple today to resist the crime, since you come to die first, quickly cut off the head yourself, so as not to let the old man do it." ”
Tianhong Fangwen recited a Buddha horn and said: "If the donor has any grievances with Master Chang, he should be found to settle them in person." But they cannot kill innocents. The heavenly evil shouted and asked, "Do you want to cut off your head?"
Abbot Tianhong listened to his aggressive words, although his heart was angry, after all, he was the demeanor of a faction leader, temporarily suppressed the anger, shouted the Buddha's name, and said: "Respect such arrogance, the poor monk can only reluctantly maneuver, what is the outcome? I'm afraid it won't be as you imagined." ”
Tianxie's face sank, and he said angrily: "The old man will do what he says, and if you dare not listen to the old man's words, you will find more guilt." ”
The down-and-out scholar and Huang Sanlou's senior brothers standing on the side, as well as Mo Dao, couldn't help but get angry when they saw him domineering, and the down-and-out scholar first sneered and said:
"Old monk Tianhong, it's not a child, you want to force someone to cut off their head with big words, it's so easy. ”
Tianxie snorted coldly and said, "You want me to cut off my head only after I do it, yes or no?"
The abbot of Tianhong couldn't help but said angrily: "There are opinions about the heavenly evil that is famous and shocking the rivers and lakes, what kind of stunts do you have, dare to speak out!"
Tianxiao shouted violently and said, "What a bald man who doesn't know what to do, the old man will let you see it." With a wave of his right palm, he slashed over.
His skills are profound, and although he strikes lightly, his palms are very strong. A fierce force slammed straight over.
The abbot of Tianhong saw the force of the collision, it was very violent, and he didn't want to take it hard, but because he was the head of the Famen Temple, if he didn't dare to take it hard, in front of the brother of the teacher of Bishui, the prestige of the Famen Temple would be swept away in the future.
The thought flashed like lightning, and with a lift of his right palm, he took the fierce palm.
The palm of the heavenly evil is so fierce that the brothers of Huang Sanlou are secretly frightened, but when they saw Master Tianhong waving his palm, they didn't secretly admire it, and said: The power of the Famen Temple's splitting palm is worthy of its name, and it is not respected by all factions of martial arts.
The down-and-out scholar carefully looked at the palm of the two of them, although the old monk took a palm, but he felt very difficult, he secretly said: Although the old monk's skills are very profound, but compared with the heavenly evil, it is much inferior, so it seems that it is difficult to take his ten moves, and he will be defeated.
Tianxiao snorted coldly and said: "When the old man was roaming the rivers and lakes in the past, few people dared to take the old man's palm, and now the old man has been practicing hard for 90 years, and the bald head can actually slap me, which is commendable." ”
The down-and-out scholar laughed and said: "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, a generation of new people is better than the old people, in today's martial arts, there are many talents, what is your old and immortal generation? Not only can someone take over your hand, but also someone will let you attack hundreds of moves and not fight back?"
These few words were tantamount to a sharp knife stabbing the heart of the heavenly evil, and suddenly his face suddenly changed and he shouted angrily: "You dare to talk nonsense and humiliate the old man in person?"
The down-and-out scholar smiled faintly and said, "This is the truth! That masked man is still in the valley, how can I say that I am talking nonsense!"
Tianxian couldn't bear the humiliation anymore, and shouted: "You take the old man's palm and try it." With a shake of his right arm, he used all his strength, his palm was flat, and he slowly pushed it out.
This palm is the strength of his life, and the power is more than twice as fierce as the first palm, and the palm is shot, and the strong wind is howling, and it hits the chest of the down-and-out scholar.
The down-and-out scholar shook his figure, took five steps to the left, and said with a smile: "Old immortal, don't be upset, after you and the old monk fight, my down-and-out scholar must ask for advice." ”
Heavenly evil is about to wave his palm to attack again, listening to what he said, I couldn't help but feel a shock in my heart, put down the palm momentum raised, and said: The old man has not walked around the rivers and lakes for decades, and people's hearts have changed greatly, and all of them are so cunning and insidious, as if they all know that the old man is in a frivolous mood, and he is looking for my weaknesses to attack, and people's hearts are terrible!
Seeing that he suddenly stopped attacking, the down-and-out scholar laughed again, and said: "If you want to rely on a few old exercises, and then want to make a name for yourself in the rivers and lakes, you have made a mistake, and your set of martial arts is no longer useful!"
