The pavilion is on the lake and faces the water on three sides. Meng Tuo turned his back to the three of them, walked over with two people in seven steps, leaned over and said, "Meng Tuo, Wang Luojie and the monk are here." ”

Meng Tuo put the fishing rod aside in his hand, and there was a wooden bucket at his feet, but there was no fish in the bucket with half a pool of clear water. Meng Tuo stood up and turned around, a smile squeezing out of his originally dull and serious face. Stretching out his finger, he said, "Sit down and say." ”

He didn't look much different from a few months ago, and his demeanor was as usual. Not even fat or thin has changed in the past few months.

Wang Luojie and the monk bowed to Mengtuo, and the two of them had more or less complicated expressions on their faces, which were very subtle, mixed with excitement, distress, anxiety, and various emotions.

"Sit down and speak. Meng Tuo sat down first and instructed the seven steps, "Go and find Sikong." ”

Seven steps nodded and left, and the two of them sat on either side, not knowing where to start for a while.

Meng Tuo smiled, his laughter was full of anger, loud and heroic: "Why are you two putting on such faces? Are you here to pay tribute to me? I'm still alive and well, if you have something, just say it, and if you have nothing to do, you can go back and forth." Don't learn from Li Han's virtue, delay me fishing. ”

The monk muttered in a low voice, but Meng Tuo didn't hear it, and couldn't help but be a little anxious: "What are you muttering, what do you have to say loudly!"

The monk cleared his throat and said, "I said Master, how long have you been fishing here, and it is clear that there is not a single fish. ”

Meng Tuo laughed: "You said this." ”

He grabbed the fishing rod, handed it to the monk, and said, "Take a look?"

There was no hook on the rod. At the end of the line is just a small net-like pocket, and the bait is placed in it.

The monk was stunned.

Meng Tuo looked at the two people with deep meaning, and did not explain.

The monk looked at Wang Luojie, Wang Luojie tilted his head and rolled his eyes, and laughed all of a sudden.

The monk said, "I should be able to guess what Master means, does Master want to listen?"

After Meng Tuo put the bait, he raised his hand and shook the hook like a lake, and said, "Let's hear it." ”

The monk said: "These fish used to live in rivers, seas and lakes, but now they are imprisoned here, and they are prisoners. Life and death are in the hands of the master, and the master starts fishing or feeding all in one thought, and the reason why he doesn't want to fish is because he doesn't want to fish with all his might?"

"The gains of killing chickens and eggs outweigh the losses. Wang Luojie continued, "As long as these fish don't jump out of the water, don't make waves, and stay in the lake honestly, they can be safe and sound for others to play with and guide." But isn't it too humble to be confined to this square inch, isn't it too dangerous for fate to be controlled by others? ”

Meng Tuo put the fishing rod aside and was silent for a while before he said to Wang Luojie, "So have you returned to Qilin Pavilion?"

Wang Luojie looked calm and said, "Yi Shui and I are back." ”

Meng Tuo became a little ashamed, and laughed at himself: "I seem to owe you a word of apology." ”

Wang Luojie said with a straight face: "It's not time for you to say this now, it's not too late to say this when you can take reins of the Qilin Pavilion and let me leave with the blood moon without worries." ”

Meng Tuo's eyes lit up, and he laughed wildly: "My Seven Star Dream Tuo has lived for all these years, and I don't know how many wrong things I have done in this life, but finding you, regardless of whether it is right or wrong, is definitely the most wonderful thing in my life." ”

"Master. ”

Wang Luojie shouted these two words and was stopped by Meng Tuo waving his hand.

Meng Tuo said: "I didn't expect you to return to the Qilin Pavilion, I originally intended to arrange the monks, Bi Fang, Wen E, Lin Feng, and Yeluo to manage the Qilin Pavilion, the monk is steady and delicate to expand the territory is not as good as us people, it is more than enough to keep the foundation of the Qilin Pavilion safe." But you're different, you're too risky, and you dare to kill and set fire to a kid who hasn't dried up, and you haven't grown at all over the years. If I were still in the Qilin Pavilion, I could check for you, but now that I'm not in the Pavilion, you have to be more cautious in everything. ”

Wang Luojie's face was embarrassed, and he stopped talking again.

Meng Tuo observed his words and said, "You kid, shouldn't you really cause trouble?" ”

Wang Luojie didn't dare to say more, and the monk told Mengtuo about Wang Luojie's plan as it was. Including the possible consequences of this are all discussed.

Meng Tuo didn't speak for a long time after listening. Wang Luojie fidgeted and wanted to speak several times, but the monk kept signaling him with his eyes not to speak. Now he can't figure out Mengtuo's thoughts, and he doesn't dare to hand over everything.

Meng Tuo twisted his eyebrows, but finally sighed and said, "Before it rains, the fish will float to the surface of the water to breathe fresh air." If you surface, you will be preyed upon by people, and if you don't surface, you will suffocate. ”

"Master. ”

Meng Tuo interrupted Wang Luojie again and said, "You must have a reason for doing this, tell me first." ”

Wang Luojie said his original intention, he originally wanted to use the Qilin Pavilion to fight against Su Ran and Guo Kui, and then muddy the water to cause a fight between the three families, and he was using the entire blood moon to deal with Xing Xian. But a recent incident made Wang Luojie realize that if he really did this, it would bring disaster to the Qilin Pavilion. But he's already made the head, and now there's no way to stop things from going any further.

This time, even Bi Fang Wen'e stood opposite him, and he had no choice but to ask for help from Mengtuo.

"Getaway. ”

Meng Tuo sighed heavily again and said, "I know how deep your relationship with Xiaoyao is, and I know that it is difficult to control himself when he is killed. In this way, Xiaoyao's death was really done by Xingxian. ”

The monk suddenly remembered that only a few of them had known that Xiaoyao was killed by Xingxian, and Mengtuo and they were all kept in the dark, and they did not inform Wang Luojie of this matter in advance, but he said it at this time.

Seeing the monk's color change, Meng Tuo said: "Li Han found the murderer that time, but because the murderer was Xingxian, he was misunderstood and said that he didn't find the reason." Li Han has always been a good man, that time he was also beaten by Xingyin, Xingyin and Xiaoyao are the closest, and the relationship is the deepest, he thought that Li Han would tell him the result, but it was in vain. In fact, Qibu and I could already roughly guess it when we saw Li Han. ”

His emotions suddenly became excited, his body trembled with excitement, and he said, "My Seven Star Mengtuo really didn't look away! You really didn't let me down! Qilin Pavilion will be proud of you." ”

"Master, please solve our immediate troubles first. Wang Luojie smiled bitterly, did Meng Tuo figure out the situation, if he didn't get the answer he wanted, go back to the Qilin Pavilion to stop things from deteriorating further. Then the consequences are unimaginable, and the most direct result is that Mengtuo and they will be killed. Those who found Li Han, the people standing behind them, would never let go of this opportunity.

"What do you want me to do?"

Meng Tuo asked Wang Luojie rhetorically, he had not shown any panic and anger until now, except for laughing wildly, he was as steady as Mount Tai.

Wang Luojie didn't know what * Tuo meant, of course he wanted Mengtuo Jinkou Yuyan to give him a Shang Fang sword to go back to curb the seriousness of the situation, he and the monk came here for this matter, they had already explained the relationship so clearly, how could Mengtuo not understand.

Seeing that Wang Luojie didn't speak, Meng Tuo smiled and said, "Do you want to take my order back to cancel this operation in the Qilin Pavilion." ”

Wang Luojie nodded.

Mengtuo said: "Then you two may run for nothing." I wouldn't do that. ”

"Why?" the monk couldn't help but ask first.

Wang Luojie was silent.

Meng Tuo said: "What why? The Qilin Pavilion has never had a precedent for changing orders overnight, not to mention this action that almost the entire cabinet has been mobilized!

"Master, do you know that if you really do this, let's not talk about whether the Qilin Pavilion has a chance of winning, even if the Qilin Pavilion really wins, it will be more than worth the loss..."

The monk didn't say that if the Qilin Pavilion really won, then Mengtuo and they are likely to be implicated, and they will even...

"You should have calculated these things from the beginning, and even if you knew about it, there was no way to change it! If this operation was really canceled, the five of you would be disgraced from now on, and there would be no more prestige in the Qilin Pavilion, and if you weren't enough to convince the others, then the end of the Qilin Pavilion would almost have arrived. ”

Meng Tuo's face became serious, and his tone even carried some reproach.

"Wang Luojie, since you have taken over the position of a monk and entered the council hall, you have to take your due responsibility! I can help you bear the mistake this time, and what about next time! What if I die tomorrow? Who are you looking for? The thousand-year-old foundation of the Qilin Pavilion cannot tolerate the slightest child's play, and you can bear the lesson yourself!"

The most serious consequence is that Mengtuo and they can't escape death, but Mengtuo seems to have no idea about it. He glared at Wang Luojie angrily and shouted: "You are an upright man, how many people are waiting to see your jokes! How can you be so weak, the eldest husband is informal, and he is afraid of what kind of system, I thought that you two came to see me for something important, but I don't want to be such a trivial matter! You are so disappointed to me!"

The monk's voice trembled, and his voice was full of tears: "But Master, we did something wrong, and you can't bear this mistake, Master, just help us this time." ”

"What are you three doing, Mengtuo heard you training people from afar, these two boys finally came to see you, you really shouldn't be so virtuous. ”

Sikong and Qibu walked with a smile.

The monk said to Sikong as if he had seen a savior: "Lord Sikong, your order is the same, please give the order to save the Qilin Pavilion." ”

Sikong couldn't figure out the north, saw that Mengtuo was angry, and said, "Don't worry, let's talk about something first." ”

The monk retold the matter as quickly as possible, he didn't say Mengtuo's words, he was afraid that Sikong and Mengtuo would unite the front, then he and Wang Luojie would be completely isolated.

Sikong smiled slightly after hearing this, and said, "Ha, so that's the case." Wang Luojie, you kid is really bold. ”

Wang Luojie wished that Sikong would scold himself a few more times and then give him an idea, but Sikong's eyes turned and he said, "However, Mengtuo has handed over the matter of Qilin Pavilion to you to deal with, and we have no right to ask anymore strictly speaking." Even if you try to get our opinion, it's useless. ”

He looked at the water from afar, and said, "Young man, it's good to eat a trench and grow wise." Wang Luojie, fortunately, you are not stupid enough to hand over the power in your hands, otherwise my hard work and that of Mengtuo will really be in vain, although we didn't expect you to be this variable, but maybe you really have the ability to make the Qilin Pavilion survive. ”

Qibu sighed and said, "This matter, there is really some trouble. But don't underestimate us too much, Mengtuo and behind us, we don't just represent the Qilin Pavilion. If those people were really going to do something to us, they wouldn't have waited so long. ”

Meng Tuo looked at Wang Luojie and said: "We have a power of our own, you know, seven kills, seven kills do not belong to the Qilin Pavilion, although there are not many people, but each of them is carefully cultivated by us." After you go back, you can go to Lin'an to find the oolong, and the seven killings will be left to you. ”

The monk was about to speak when Wang Luojie stopped him, Wang Luojie bowed deeply to Mengtuo, and said, "Master, then we will go back first, there are still things in the Qilin Pavilion that we need to deal with." ”
