Chapter 140: Dugu seeks defeat
If you count it according to the appearance time, Feng Mofeng is definitely a supporting role, even the kind of supporting role that is close to the show. Counting on his fingers, he only appeared twice in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and each time the time would not exceed 15 minutes, and the salary may be the least except for extras.
However, it is such a supporting role, and its brilliance even overshadows some of the so-called main actors, such as the Wu brothers and Yeluqi, who appeared twice and saved the male number one Yang Guo twice, the image of fortitude and bravery, loyalty, filial piety and benevolence is tragic but not desolate, and has left a strong mark in Jin Yong's world of rivers and lakes.
Some people are like this, in the face of a difficult life, never complain, never retreat, the more sharpened, the more tenacious, the more hit, the more upright, the wounds on the body are never easily revealed, and what is shown in front of the world is always a sunny smile.
It's really not easy to do this, because it's almost human instinct to confide in someone after being wronged. But the strong in life are able to compress this "instinct" to a minimum. Because they know that whoever suffers their sins, who suffers, and who suffers, and that others cannot and will not be willing to bear these things for you.
If suffering is always soaked in the tears of sympathy of others, it will soon degenerate into a poison that corrodes the fighting spirit, and becomes an excuse for escape or degradation. Besides, if you are like Xianglin's sister-in-law, endlessly relying on her bloody wounds to win the sympathy of others, sooner or later it will cause people's psychological fatigue and numbness, and eventually become a pitiful insect who is rejected and ridiculed.
The strong people in life do not disdain the pity of others, and do not need those stylized consolations - there is no empathetic experience, all pity and consolation are cheap - what they (she) have to do is to bite and chew the suffering, swallow it fiercely, digest it, and then discharge it from the body, and then use it as fertilizer to apply and sprinkle on those flowers and plants that need nutrients - maybe this is the real value of suffering.
I know that as someone who has not suffered much, it is beautiful and easy to say these words. But I think that's probably the only way to combat suffering.
After hearing Xiao Jiang's words, the ugly eagle raised his head, shouted three times, and then turned his head to Xiao Jiang and whispered softly. The eagle took the opportunity to fly into the air behind Xiao Jiang, and also cooed and chirped three times, which was regarded as a response to Xiao Jiang.
I saw that the eagle was standing tall, independent in the forest, and its appearance was hideous and ugly, but it had its own awe-inspiring might.
Xiao Jiang heard that there was a lot of friendliness in its singing, so he slowly approached and said with a smile: "Brother Diao, your divine power is amazing, admire and admire." The ugly eagle chirped in a low voice, slowly walked to Xiao Jiang's side, stretched out its wings and patted him lightly on the shoulder. Xiao Jiang was overjoyed when he saw that this carving was so psychic, and he also reached out to caress its back.
The ugly eagle let out a few low sounds, bit the corner of Xiao Jiang's clothes and pulled it a few times, then let go and strode away. Xiao Jiang knew what it wanted, and hurriedly beckoned Guo Jing and the others to follow, so he followed.
After a few steps, the Condor turned around and suddenly stretched out his left wing and slapped it on the horse's belly. The horse was in pain, neighed loudly, took a few steps backwards, and kept jumping. Xiao Jiang nodded and said, "Yes, since I have gone to the Eagle Brother Valley, what is the use of this horse?"
Thinking that this carving is very spiritual, it is not inferior to people, so let Guo Jing and others let go of the reins, leaving only Guo Jing's sweat and blood BMW, everyone strode to follow the eagle, the ugly eagle is extremely fast, walking like a galloping horse in the mountains and rocks and grasses, Zhang Feng and others performed light kung fu to catch up, and secretly admired in their hearts. The eagle went lower and lower, and went straight into a deep valley.
After walking for a long time, he came to a big cave, and the ugly eagle nodded three times in front of the cave, called three times, and looked back at Xiao Jiang and the others.
Xiao Jiang saw that it seemed to salute the cave, and thought to himself, "There is a sword demon living in the cave, Dugu seeks defeat, this giant eagle has been tamed by him, but this is indispensable for courtesy." So he knelt down in front of the cave with Guo Jing and others, bowed a few times, and said: "Disciple Xiao Jiang knocked on Dugu's seniors, please forgive me for the crime of trespassing in the cave." After waiting for a while, Xiao Jiang and the others got up and looked at the Divine Condor.
The carving pulled the corner of Zhang Feng's clothes and stepped in. Seeing the dark ground in the cave, except for Xiao Jiang, everyone didn't know if it was really a martial arts wizard or a mountain mandrill monster, but seeing Xiao Jiang's confident appearance, they all relaxed and followed the eagle and Xiao Jiang into the cave.
This cave is actually very shallow, less than three zhang of walking, has reached the end, and there is nothing else in the cave except a stone table and a stone bench.
The ugly eagle shouted a few times to the corner of the cave, Xiao Jiang and the others saw that there was a pile of rocks rising in the corner of the cave, very much like a tomb, Zhang Feng thought to himself, "It seems that this is the place where the sword demon Dugu seeks defeat, but unfortunately the carving can't, and he can't tell me about this person's life." ”
When I looked up, I saw that there seemed to be writing on the wall of the cave, but it was covered with dust and moss, and it was not clear in the dark. He lit a dead branch and stretched out his hand to wipe the moss from the cave wall, and sure enough, three lines of words appeared, the handwriting was very thin, but the stone was extremely deep, and it was obviously drawn with a very sharp blade. Look at those three lines:
"For more than 30 years, I have killed all the enemies, defeated all the heroes, and there is no resistance in the world, and there is nothing to do, but to live in seclusion in the deep valley and take the eagle as a friend. Woohoo, I can't get an opponent in my life, and I'm embarrassed to be lonely. ”
"The following payment is the sword demon Dugu seeking defeat. ”
Xiao Jiang and others recited these three lines of words several times, both shocked and admired, but also experienced the meaning of loneliness and embarrassment, thinking that this predecessor was only invincible in the world, so he had to live in seclusion in the deep valley, and the depth and subtlety of his martial arts were so profound and subtle, I really don't know how far it has been.
This person is known as the "Sword Demon", since he is a god who wields a sword, his name is "Seeking Defeat", he wants to go all over the world to find a person who wants to win himself, but he has never been able to do so, and finally he is depressed here, remembering the spirit of his predecessors, and he can't help but be fascinated.
Xiao Jiang looked at the stone tomb again, and couldn't help but sigh, "This predecessor was a strange man at that time, invincible, and unpredictable, since his martial arts are unpredictable, look at his behavior like this, he must be arrogant and arrogant, and ordinary people are difficult to get along, in the end in this barren valley died quietly, neither in the martial arts but also did not spread his reputation and deeds, and did not leave the fist scripture sword spectrum, disciples, in order to pass on his peerless martial arts, this person's life experience is really shocking and enviable, but sad and sad." It's a pity that although the Condor is spiritual, he can't speak, otherwise he can tell a story or two about his life. It's a pity!"
"Brother Xiao Xian, I've never heard Master Hong or the Seven Masters mention this senior?" Guo Jing asked after hearing Xiao Jiang's exclamation.
Xiao Jiang was silent for a long time before he responded: "The characters of more than a hundred years ago, I'm afraid the five must not be clear. Besides, who knows all the heroes in the rivers and lakes?
Everyone had heard Xiao Jiang say something about a sword demon before, so after listening to Xiao Jiang's words, he was silent for a long time, only to see Xiao Jiang holding a lit dead branch, inspecting the cave for a week, and no other relics could be found, and there were no other marks on the grave of the stone pile.
Xiao Jiang came out of his mind for a while, and admired this senior stranger more and more, and couldn't help but kneel in front of the stone tomb and bow four times.
Guo Jing and the others also admired the sword demon, and worshiped four times with Xiao Jiang. Seeing that they were very respectful to the stone tomb, the divine eagle seemed to be happy in his heart, stretched out his wings and patted Zhang Feng's shoulder a few times.
Xiao Jiang thought to himself, "In the last words of this Dugu senior, he called the eagle a friend, but although this eagle is a beast, it is my predecessor, and it is not an exaggeration for me to call it the eagle brother." So he said: "Brother Diao, we met each other, and it can be regarded as fate." I'd like to stay here for a while, and I'll ask for more advice in the future!" the Condor cried a few times, and it was agreed.
Xiao Jiang saw that it was getting late, so he beckoned the Condor and the Blood Bird to catch a few mountain rabbits from outside. Guo Jing lit a fire, and everyone went to rest after a full meal.
Early the next morning, everyone finished breakfast, Xiao Jiang saw that the trees behind the cave were verdant, and the mountain atmosphere was clear, so he called other people to walk together to enjoy the scenery, walked Lixu, and came to a cliff.
The cliff is like a huge screen, rising to the sky, the middle of the cliff is about 20 zhang from the ground, there is a big stone three or four zhang square, it is like a platform, and there are words faintly carved on the stone.
Everyone looked up and saw clearly that it was the two big characters "Sword Shrine", Guo Jing became curious and asked: "Brother Xian, why does the sword also have a tomb?" Could it be that Dugu's predecessor broke the love sword and buried it here?" Xiao Jiang nodded and approached the cliff, but saw that the stone wall was not grown, and there was no place for his hands and feet to be bare, and he didn't know how the sword demon climbed up back then.
After looking at it for a long time, the more I looked at it, the more fascinated I became, thinking that Dugu is also a human being, how can I climb to such a high place, I think there must be another wonderful way, if you really rely on martial arts to climb up, it is incredible.
After staring intently for a while, I suddenly saw a clump of moss growing on the cliff every few feet, and dozens of clumps lined up in a straight line. His mind moved, jumped up, reached out to the bottom of a bush of moss to touch, grabbed out a handful of black mud, sure enough, it was a small cave, it was expected to be Dugu to defeat the year with a sharp weapon to dig, the years are deep, the hole accumulates mud, so there is moss.
Xiao Jiang thought that there was nothing to do, so he went up to explore the sword mound, so he took a breath with all his strength, jumped a few feet high, stepped on the first small hole with his left foot, and then jumped up, and kicked his right foot into the second bush of moss, and the soft mud burst out, and there was really another one on the stone wall that could accommodate his feet, and so on, Xiao Jiang rushed onto the platform in one breath.
After Xiao Jiang and the others got on the platform, they saw that next to the two big characters "Sword Shrine" on the big stone, there were still two lines of stone carvings with smaller fonts:
"The sword demon is invincible in the world, but he is buried in the sword.
Woohoo! The heroes are tied up, the long swords are empty, and they are not sad!"
Xiao Jiang and the others were shocked and envious, Xiao Jiang only felt that this senior was proud of the world, alone, and had many similarities with his temperament, but when it came to fighting invincible opponents all over the world, how could he reach it.
The people looked at the two rows of stones carved out for a moment, and lowered their heads, only to see a large tomb piled up with many stones. This tomb has its back to the valley, pitching and empty, not to mention how the sword demon himself is a hero, this sword mound alone has occupied the situation, I want to see this all-round talent in humanities and martial arts, and his ambitions are very, but he hates to be born late, and he has no chance to see this senior hero.
