Chapter 37: Striking the West (1)

Jiang Yanchen and Xuanshuang walked out of the woods, and neither of them said anything about Fang Cai. Before arriving at the execution ground, I saw everyone sitting in a circle, pointing and pointing, and the crowd was angry, and it was Mu Zixun who was trapped in the middle of the scene. Xuan Shuang only felt a headache, and rushed in, and said loudly: "What's going on here?

That group of children of the family was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and they quarreled with each other. Xuan Shuang couldn't hear them at all, so he saw that his fingers were pointing at Mu Zixun one after another, but this person who had been criticized was holding his shoulders with his hands on his shoulders, with a cold smile on his face, and he didn't care at all.

Xuanshuang also admired his calmness, compared to this group of chattering guys was more annoying. In addition, he was full of grievances for Ji Qian, because of his identity, and he couldn't directly accuse Jiang Yanchen, and he had nowhere to vent his worries, and just a bunch of bad luck bumped into him, frowning and saying: "It's noisy to death! I really don't know if you were a group of ducks in your previous life! Either nominate one person to talk about it, or shut up all of them for me and be quiet!"

Zuo Protector took a step forward and said in a low voice, "Young Master Ling, it's no wonder that everyone has lost their minds about this matter. Look over thereβ€”" Pointing from afar. I saw a corpse tied to a wooden stake, half of the human skin had been stripped of its skin, and a dagger was stuck in its chest, apparently exhausted before the execution was completed.

Xuan Shuang is a very smart person, and he doesn't need to be reminded by others to guess the reason. said: "What, Mu Zixun, is this your masterpiece?" This sentence is more effective than anything else, and the noisy rich children immediately calmed down, stretched their necks one after another, and waited to see a good show.

Nangong Xue raised her head and said, "Yes, what do you want to blame, just come at me." It's just that I did it right, but I never thought I was guilty, and I wouldn't voluntarily accept the punishment. Xuan Shuang said sharply: "If you go against the will of the sect and make your own opinions, you are guilty! If you don't severely punish rebellion, how can you make others obey and take it as a warning?"

Nangong Xue said: "Heroes and cowards, the original essence is different, and they will not change each other. No matter how many times you kill chickens and monkeys, you will only add a shadow to the honest people and reduce their combat power. It's good to have a layer of worries, but it's too much to fear, and it's just that it's counterproductive. Just imagine, let a person live in fear all day long, trembling, always worried about what is wrong with him, what tasks can he do well, what wonderful ideas can he come up with? Not to mention ......" and retold her views on life and death in the original form, even a few children of the family have to admire her daring.

Jiang Yanchen's face was cold, he walked past everyone, walked straight to her, and said coldly: "You think you have a few talents, you can do your own thing, and don't take this seat in your eyes, don't you have any opinions, even if you say it all at once, don't procrastinate, and stir up a little mess from time to time." ”

The corners of Nangong Xue's mouth hooked up a shallow smile, but her face glowed with a confident look, and said, "I don't have any opinions, and I'm not soft on the enemy." As a member of the Blood-Evil Sect, we should always put the interests of the whole sect first and take the revitalization of our own religion as our own responsibility! If we allow the uprightness to be high, but we can only choose a few ant disciples to torture us, and if we express this kind of resentment, won't we lower the value of our sect? If we make a small mistake, why not forbear it for the time being? Do you know how much advantage the enemy can gain in the battle?

Jiang Yanchen's expression softened slightly, nodded, and said, "Okay, let's talk about it." ”

Nangong Xue has always been very accurate when she sees people, and she can hear him ask such a question, not sarcastically, but sincerely ask for advice. "It's like if you know the identity of that decent spy first, you should use him as a tool." For example, you can draw up a strategy and do something in it, and you want him to hear it and convey it back is second-hand information. Treat the decency as an imaginary enemy, discuss how to deal with it, and all kinds of considerations will be in our hands. Not only did you anticipate the enemy's opportunities, but you also controlled the enemy's movements in the palm of your hand, sending and receiving them as you pleased, so what's wrong with you? Now you have executed him indiscriminately in order to vent your momentary anger. Abolish this chess piece, sound the alarm bell to the decent people, remind them how cruel our Demon Sect is, and at the same time intensify their indignation and hatred. Not to mention this, it is the real gain that outweighs the loss if you lose a big advantageous bargaining chip!" word by word, loudly, showing a dignified and upright spirit that has been in a decent position for a long time.

Xuanshuang narrowed her eyes and looked at her carefully, not knowing what she was thinking. The group of children of the family immediately screamed and shouted: "Sect Master, this Mu Zi is so bold! If you say that you are facing east, she will prefer to face west! The subordinates proposed that this kid must be severely punished so that he can firmly remember the rules of my teaching!"

Another said: "Other punishments are also light, according to me, this kid dares to release the offender privately, and the torture frame is removed, so it is better to take him on top." so that he may taste what it is like to dig into his heart and cut out his bones. ”

For a while, all kinds of opinions surged, all of them put Nangong Xue into the situation of a heinous sinner, and another person who was particularly poisonous proposed to dig up his ancestral grave and crush the bones of his ancestors for eighteen generations.

Xuan Shuang played with his fingers for a long time, raised his head and shouted: "Shut up for me! What are you arguing about? One by one, they only know how to question the rights and wrongs of others, is it fun or what? What do you say to correct the rules, look at yourself, you are just people who joined the religion on the same day as him, how can you think that you are qualified to be a veteran of the teaching, and you are qualified to jump out and point fingers? How many rules do you know? When a master speaks, others are not allowed to interject or whisper, and how many people do it? If you don't want your tongues to be cut off and thrown into a pan of oil to cook, keep your mouths shut!"

Nangong Xue knew that he was still a child, but when he gave orders, he was completely childish, like a general who was strictly governed on the battlefield and commanded. Secretly praise this momentum is natural, and after being tempered by the environment, it has already been perfected. This kid will become a great man in the future, even if he can't be an emperor, he must be a top person who is very rich and accomplished somewhere. But I don't know if his temper is so hot at the moment, or because of the "widowed wife and weak daughter".

Xuan Shuang then said: "Master, I think that what Mu Zixun said makes some sense. We should indeed take a long-term view, and the ultimate goal is to bring the world to its heart and all the people to submit. As for the decent undercover agent, whether to impose a heavy punishment in the coming day, or to make him a high-ranking official and a slap in the face, it will be as you please. ”

Jiang Yanchen pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, it is indeed a good plan." Instead of expecting no one to betray, it is better to take the initiative to expand your power. Whatever is taught is an instrument of obedience to the task. It's not about whether you can be reused, it's about how to do it perfectly, so that you don't have to worry about it. To put it mildly, as a chess piece, you are not qualified to question what the chess player has done. When the religion is thriving, you can also enjoy the highest benefits for yourselves. If each and every one of you can be like Mu Zi Xun, always think about this religion, even if you are a little arrogant, you can forgive. On the contrary, I respect talents, and even give them some special treatment. ”

Xuan Shuang added: "What my master advocates has always been 'the winner is king, and the loser is the villain', as long as you are equal enough, you can ride on his head. Those people with mediocre qualifications, who don't need to chatter, can't eat grapes, say that grapes are sour, I tell you, I never eat this. Everyone, only by virtue of strength, can he obtain the status he is pursuing. If anyone doubts that my position as deputy sect leader is not true, and that it is all based on the status of master and apprentice, then you can raise it out loud. Come and try with me, and see if I am really qualified to be this deputy sect leader, or if I have a false name! Let's talk about it first, if I lose, I won't say a word about this son, and immediately give it up. Is there anyone willing to take on the challenge?"

The children of the family have always been the most happy to coax, but when they saw that the matter was getting bigger, they all accepted their voices and kept silent. And all the members of the sect have seen the Xuanshuang Kung Fu with their own eyes, which one dares to make a mistake, and for a while, the wasteland is silent, adding a bit of coldness. With Nangong Xue's always competitive temperament, if it weren't for her unwillingness to swagger, she would have taken the initiative to challenge.

Xuan Shuang looked around, deliberately showing his majesty, raised his chin, and said: "Zuo Protector, you have been in the sect for more than a year, you have been diligent and active, and you have won the appreciation of the sect leader, and you are a rare talent in my sect. has lived under others for a long time, but I am afraid that I have wronged you too much. How, would you like to come up and try it? Get serious, whether I am your opponent or not, I can't say for sure. ”

Zuo Protector was sincerely frightened, buried his head and neck deeply, and said, "The deputy sect leader is looking for his subordinates to be happy." Your subordinates serve the two masters, and they are willing to live under the two of you. I have always rarely been convinced, but what can really convince me is the master I wholeheartedly identify! "That means that not only is martial arts not your opponent, but even if you are lucky, you won't dare to steal your position.

Xuan Shuang smiled and said, "Zuo Protector is really a loyal and good subordinate. With you as the pillar of the church, everyone can sit back and relax. After a few more moments, no one came out to challenge. This was already expected by Xuanshuang, and some posturing was just to establish prestige. Immediately, he put his hands behind his back, paced back and forth in front of everyone, and put on a noble posture with the demeanor of a general. This move naturally attracted everyone's attention, and their eyes were staring at him intently.

Xuanshuang paced back and forth before saying, "Okay, I've already given you a chance, and since you give up on your own, then it's no wonder that I'm not to blame." It shows that none of the people present have any other objections. Very well, then future orders must not be questioned. Everyone said in unison, "Obey the orders of the two sect masters." ”

Xuan Shuang's footsteps stopped in front of Nangong Xue, and suddenly his palm reached out and clasped her wrist. This time the momentum was extremely fast, Nangong Xue only had time to see a flower in front of him, and his wrist was already cold. Instinctively, he wanted to break free with his backhand, so he slapped it out with a palm and unloaded the attack. But I don't know why he suddenly used force, do you really want to kill the chicken and make an example for him, and be his good start?

Unexpectedly, this struggle did not break away. Xuanshuang's strength was not very great, but when he buckled the vein, he felt that two streams of true qi were surging in, one left and one right, just enough to completely suppress his strength, and he couldn't use it at all. I don't know which of the seven evil techniques is a strange kung fu, which is different from the same root as the secret book of the Shadow Sacrifice Sect back then. Even though she had studied the graphics in the book with Li Yijie all night and memorized the qigong mantras, it was difficult to see the clues from this casual hit.

Without waiting for her to think about it, Xuanshuang grabbed her wrist and pulled her to the middle of the field. He said: "Everyone, listen well, at present, the position of the right protector of the Dharma in the middle of the sect is still undecided; the main body of this sect understands that the left protector of the Dharma has worked hard and made great achievements, and the burden is too arduous for one person to take the lead. It is because I hereby announce that Feng Muzi is the right protector of the Dharma, and the two of them will work together to help my foundation reach a higher level. ”
