Text Volume 10: The Dust Settles_ "Phantom Spear (10)" Chapter 8: The Heart of Defense

Let's say that the vanguard led by the second disciple Nangong Ming, who was the first to set off, was coming to the Tianjing Divine Lake, and the lake had been frozen by the severe cold at the moment, and a good disciple A couldn't help but say: "This scenery is spectacularly tight, I really want to step on it." ”

"Don't mess around, but watch your head. Nangong Ming reminded sharply.

"Second Senior Brother, you said that the other senior brothers have all got a good errand, why did we end up like this?"

"No matter how we speak, we have a heavy responsibility, and we can't live up to the expectations of the boss, so we cheer me up. Nangong Ming emphasized.

"Alas, senior brother, it's not me who complains, this vanguard is the most thankless. You think, we are so swaggering and slowly killing to Qianmen, that Gui is not a dry meal, knowing that after we attack, he will definitely send men and horses to block it head-on, and then there will be a conflict, but we have to withstand a large number of attacks. Then we made wedding dresses for the brothers and sisters of the surprise attack force, and our lives were not guaranteed. Disciple B complained.

"Enough, for the sake of our sect and everyone's future, do you still have to care about paying such a little?" Although he said so, Nangong Ming was also muttering in his heart. In such a cold weather, pushing a few big boxes through the market, fools know what is hidden inside, in case they directly meet Gui Cen Ji, the head of the Qianmen, it will really be a dead ghost in vain.

Maybe Nangong Ming was right, because Gui Cen Ji, the head of the Qianmen, was a smart and cautious person. No, Wu Li has already been summoned to talk.

"Li'er, you're here. ”

"Master, I don't know if there is anything important about you summoning the apprentices?"

"Well, let's sit down first. ”

Master, who was usually straight to the point, suddenly became like this, and Wu Li was still a little unaccustomed to it, so he sat down cautiously and continued to ask, "Master, what happened?"

"Actually, nothing has happened yet, it's just that the teacher is a little weak and upset, and Xingchen is not in the sect right now, so he wants to talk to you. ”

"Master, if you really miss your brother, you can write a letter and send someone to summon him and his sister back. ”

"This is natural, but it's also good to stay away from this place of right and wrong. ”

Wu Li was quite puzzled, and said: "The land of right and wrong, our customs outside is a rare and pure place, the last time I heard that the capital is a place full of right and wrong, I am afraid that it will be dangerous for senior brother and sister to stay there." ”

"Yes, where is the quietness, this question can't even be answered as a teacher. ”

"Master, this is not like you. ”

"Li'er, sometimes things are too calm, but you can feel his dark tide surging. ”

"Well, I don't understand. ”

"Remember the last time?"

"Master is referring to the Heavenly Gate?"

"Yes, that's exactly what happened. Tianmen Dugu Song, I have dealt with him for decades, and I know this person's heart, since he has the first time, he will definitely have the next time. ”

"You don't have to worry about this master, since the last incident, haven't the senior brothers been patrolling the vicinity of the sect day and night, and they haven't noticed anything abnormal during this period of time. ”

"Dugu Song is not a person who is willing to give up easily, the reason why he has not moved, he is afraid that he is still planning more terrifying strategies. ”

"Master, why is he obsessed with our Qianmen?"

"In order to unify the outside of the border!" Gui Cenji's tone intensified.

"This is an idea that no matter which sect it is. It's just that this balance is so easy to break, first of all, even if his Tianmen strength is slightly stronger, it has not reached the strength to instantly swallow the other factions. Although the Kunmen collapsed on its own, our Qianmen is not easy to mess with, not to mention the Xuanyin head of the Earth Gate, I have also seen her power last time I returned to the peak. And she hasn't always liked the Dugu head of Tianmen very much. ”

"Having said that, Li'er, do you know that if you want to unify the outside of the Guan, the first target that Tianmen sees will definitely be our Qianmen. ”

This futile is puzzled. "Wu Li was originally a simple person, and it would be troublesome for him to think about some things, so it was better to lie on the ground and watch the white clouds floating in the sky.

"Because the position of our sect is a stumbling block to the Heavenly Gate. If you want to attack the Earth Gate, you must first pass through the realm of our Qianmen, do you think that being a teacher will make it easy for the imposing team of the Heavenly Gate to pass?"

"Naturally, this can't, we are not easy to bully. ”

"There is another very important reason, if we agree to cooperate with the Heavenly Gate and jointly exterminate the Earth Gate, in case he Dugu Song comes to a false plan to destroy the Emperor, then wouldn't we have to be arrested. Moreover, between the dry gate and the earth gate, although there is no favor, there is no grudge, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and there is the earth gate, which is always good. ”

"The apprentice understands, so it's impossible for us to reap the benefits of the fisherman. Wu Li said another layer of key.

"Well, what I'm worried about for the teacher is also here, Qianmen has no use value for Dugu Song, the last time he made a detailed work, it must be just a temptation, and when I see him again, it must be the day of the big action. ”

"Big Operation? Do they dare to openly challenge us?"

"Open challenge?hehe, that's a gentleman's behavior, Dugu Song is not a gentleman. Gui Cen Ji woke up the dreamer with a word.

"Master, could it be that the Heavenly Gate will do everything possible to attack us?"

"Quite possibly. ”

"It's easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it's good for us to wait for work. ”

"Maybe, but we must not be careless, you must know that there are many people in Tianmen, and there are also leaders of the younger generation, Jing Haohan. Once attacked, we don't really have much advantage. Gui Cenji calmly analyzed the situation between us and the enemy.

"Master, if you call the apprentice here, there must be your arrangement, please say it directly, for the safety of our sect, the apprentice will definitely do his best. ”

"Actually, I haven't seen any clues now, it's just that we have to increase the defense circle, and in the center of this circle, except for you, no disciple can do it. ”

Except for the last time when the four factions met martial arts, Wu Li had never been so valued by the master, and this lazy guy was also ignited with the fire in his chest at this moment, and said, "Please also ask the master to speak clearly." ”

"Okay, except for the disciples who patrol and guard, what you have to do now is to stop playing, and have fun, but be sure to pay attention to your own safety. ”

"Going out to play? ”

"Don't you often complain about Master's restraints on your actions? ”

"I don't dare. ”

"It's okay, this time, as the center of the defense circle, the only thing you have to do is to play, play around our Qianmen. ”

was broken by Gui Cen Ji so little, Wu Li instantly understood the essence of this "play", and said, "Master, the apprentice understands." It is worth playing, and it is not easy to conflict, and even more, it is necessary to know how to run away and save your life. ”

"Well, that's good. Gui Cen Ji also knew that although this disciple looked inconspicuous on weekdays, he was no less smart than Yue Xingchen.

"Master, when does that start and end?" Wu Li asked solemnly.

"It starts now, and it ends after the beginning of spring. ”

"Wow, Master, it's so cold outside, and it's snowing heavily from time to time, it's a chore!" Wu Li's first reaction turned out to be complaining, and sure enough, he still didn't leave his nature.

"Of course, you really don't want to, and the teacher won't force you. Gui Cenji seemed to have something to say.

"Really? Master. Wu Li instinctively replied.

"Well, from this day onwards, you will be locked up in your house and punished me. ”

"Master, Master, never, I'd rather be frozen outside than locked up in the house. Just like what you said just now, this matter is related to the survival of our sect, and since it is so important, it is none other than me, and the disciple will go immediately. After speaking, Wu Li bowed respectfully.

Gui Cen Ji nodded slightly, and watched him leave with a smile. Mrs. Su Wanling, who had been standing behind the screen, walked out at this moment, and she said with a smile: "Brother Cen Ji, why do you want to scare Li'er." ”

"His lazy temperament, although I say so, will definitely be impulsive and do things seriously. But as time goes by, his laziness returns, and I'm afraid he will be negligent. To scare him, but also to make him better at completing the task. ”

"Having said that, will it really come to this point?" Su Wanling put away her smile.

"I hope my instincts are wrong, and I can't sleep all these days, and you know that I am worried about this, ma'am. ”

"Well, then let Li'er go, and listen to more news. As the saying goes, 'you can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people'. ”

"Well, Madame will go with me to see how the disciples are practicing. ”

"Okay, Brother Cen Ji. ”......
