Chapter 37 (48)
Tongzhi has been on Huashan since he went up, and he has fought with Xuanshuang, and his face has always been unwavering, at most with a little compassion, which is also due to the compassion and kindness that longs to pull him back. It was only at this time that he was completely stunned, but this was similar to Fang Wei's expression.
Xuanshuang's face was like ashes, his legs were like two stiff wooden sticks, and it took a lot of effort to barely stand firm. Lightly arched his hand, gave a gift to the elders, and said, "I agreed." He coughed lightly twice, wiped away a wisp of blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and said, "The master is really extraordinary, junior...... Ahem, it's a fluke. β
When everyone heard what he said, it was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, and they exploded into the pot and said: "The demon sect demon is indeed destined to be born, no matter how old or young, he can't get rid of the demonic womb, and he can't change the bones of treachery!
Xuanshuang's breath had gradually been evenly adjusted, and he said coldly: "As the saying goes, soldiers are not tired of cheating! Besides, before the battle, it was never decided that fraud was not allowed, so why should it be said so ugly? That is just a strategy." Master Tongzhi has a compassionate heart, but he doesn't know that although I don't have any ability, I won't kill myself. Failing to know oneself and the other before the war was doomed to defeat by this alone. What's more, this plus one game is a trick for people to watch, so what's the difference between winning and losing?"
Another person said angrily: "That's the case, you two should also continue to fight regardless of victory or defeat, how can it be decided by you alone?"
Before Xuan Shuang could speak, Tong Zhi sighed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but this battle is indeed lost by Lao Gao." Fang Cai used Ling's main means to take Lao Gu's life directly, but his subordinates showed mercy and only cut off a string of prayer beads. It was something outside the body, not to be sorry, the old man was grateful for his grace not to kill, and he was willing to lose the gamble, which is true. I only hated the empty blood before, and I longed to solve the decline of Huashan with my own strength, but I didn't make the trip, it was the incompetence of the old man, and I couldn't stand the head of Meng. β
The corners of Xuan Shuang's mouth twitched, and as soon as he smiled, the true qi in his body suddenly stirred like a mountain and a sea. Just because the martial arts he practiced were all the evil martial arts contained in the Seven Evil True Techniques, he was suddenly attacked by the outside world, and his internal breath was in chaos. Finally, he couldn't hold it anymore and fell to the ground, this time he was really exhausted, and the blood in his mouth spurted wildly. There are still external injuries to rely on, but now he is seriously injured in his internal organs, and he can't even use the strength to exercise and regulate pranayama on his own, so he falls on the ground, just gasping.
This gave the decent people a talking point, and shouted: "Now even the blind can see that this little devil is no longer good, but the master of wisdom can still fight again." According to the usual practice, the master of Tongzhi should also be judged to win!"
As soon as Xuan Shuang wanted to open his mouth to argue, a large amount of blood suddenly poured up from his lungs, gushing out from his throat, and he couldn't stop it. Everyone just watched him talk and cough as if he was making a play, and vomited blood, but as for what he said, he couldn't even hear a word clearly, and it was all hidden in the blood spurting out and coughing repeatedly.
After a good while, there was silence in the field, and Xuan Shuang's voice was slight, trying not to affect the qi of the viscera, but it could also reach the ears of everyone in the audience, saying: "It's really ridiculous, it turns out ...... It turns out that decent people are a group of people who can't afford to lose...... Ahem...... Scoundrels who still have to quibble if they lose? I should have seen through you a long time ago. Except for the fight between life and death, which of the other competitions did not stop with the results being reported? You didn't say it before, but you questioned it after hearing that 'the winner and the loser have been decided,' and it was too late...... Not to mention the loss of combat power, even if one person dies, the victory of the competition is still his. Maybe you hypocrites should know what it means to 'speak like a mountain', let alone ...... Or is it a person of high moral and respected character like Master Tongzhi, do you want to make him blatantly dishonest and lose face because of your own selfishness? That is not only a humiliation for one person, but for all of you, it is like a slap in the face, right?"
Before Xuanshuang entered the Demon Sect, he was known for his sharp teeth in the palace. Now, after many temperings, he has added a bit of demonic nature to his own evil spirit, and then he can refute the people in the righteous path, which is even more true. Even if he doesn't reason, he can argue with his three-inch tongue that others can't refute.
At this time, there was no good plan for everyone except to sigh. Xuan Shuang smiled faintly, his face gradually showed a kind of relieved relief, and said, "Master, I won three battles and three victories...... How, live up to your old man's expectations?......"
Jiang Yanchen was instantly overjoyed. It is not because the apprentice has a long face on his behalf, but because the great enemy who has been hated for a long time will eventually die at his own hands, and there will be no more rain from heaven that will be enough to turn the situation around. He sneered twice and said, "I said Master Meng, now that you don't even have the last backer, who else will come to give you a head?" I advise you to leave your last words as soon as possible and recite scriptures and pray for yourself. Master Li Meng, have you ever made up your mind? Don't delay the time of this seat any longer! Do you want your master, or this kind of dispensable woman?"
Li Yijie had green tendons on the back of his hands, and the muscles of his face were pulled, as if he was about to cry immediately, and said, "You...... You're going to push me like that...... Even if I drive me crazy, ...... to you Is there any benefit?" Jiang Yanchen said: "The reason for this, this seat should have told you a long time ago." β
Li Yijie knew that Jiang Yanchen was unreasonable, and he was extremely reasonable, and it would not be good to argue with him. Just when she wanted to cry without tears, Meng Anying patted him on the back and said, "Yijie, Master has never told you, among all the disciples, I have always appreciated you the most. Not only because you study martial arts hard, but also because of your temperament, you are also the one who follows me the most. The love is deep, the responsibility is earnest, the master is always strict with you, but I hope that you can be worthy of the teachings, and in the future, you will be qualified to inherit my mantle and carry forward the Huashan line...... Don't blame Master. β
Li Yijie nodded desperately and said, "Yes, Master, the disciples understand." The disciple was grateful for the grace of Master's preaching and teachings, and did not dare to resent Master for the rest of his life. β
Meng Anying nodded and said, "You are a solid-eyed child, whatever you say in your mouth, you must be the same in your heart." The Huashan faction has fallen to today's situation, and its defeat is imminent, because I am incompetent, and I am ashamed of my master and ancestor of Huashan. Because of our faction, I was even more tired of being implicated in the martial arts, which made the master feel even more guilty. Fortunately, the disciple I appreciate the most can take on his own responsibilities and never retreat in the face of difficulties, which is a great relief for the teacher. In the future, there will be no master by your side to teach you, and everything will depend on you. Remember, no matter what path you take in the future, or what your plans are, as long as it is your choice, Master will support you, and it can be regarded as compensation for the harshness he once had. If you still listen to what I, an old man who is about to die, I hope you can be your true self and not bother with the many laws. The rules are determined by people, and they can also be changed by people, the important thing is that people's lives are nothing more than just a few decades, chasing fame and fortune, all of them are empty, and they can really live a chic life, without shame and regrets, so as not to come to the world in vain...... Of course, to be a man, a few hard bones are to be obtained, but the eldest husband can bend and stretch, and don't lose his life in order to gain backbone...... Alas, when Master sees you, it is as if he saw himself when he was young, so high-spirited and so unpretentious...... A person who is always old-fashioned and follows the rules may be a good apprentice, but he will never be a good leader. People should cherish their friends, but they should always be on guard against one hand, if you dig out your heart and lungs for others, how do you know that they can also wait for you together? Master's life is doomed to failure, but I hope that all my beliefs can be pinned on you. You're still young, so I'll let you live again in my place......"
Li Yijie listened to his desolate tone, like a ruined lotus leaf, as if he was already disheartened about the world, and said hurriedly: "No...... No...... Master, no, you have taught me that as long as there is always hope in my heart, there is no difficulty that I cannot cope with. No matter how fierce the enemy is, he will eventually be defeated by the unbreakable faith......"
If you talk about faith, who doesn't? Jiang Yanchen and Xuanshuang's master and apprentice alone may be much stronger than him. But both of them are fully engaged, and they have both deviated from the devil's path, and have transformed from the belief in victory into an obsession to destroy human nature.
Meng Anying shook his head, but there was no current anxiety on his face, only a relief to see through the world, shook his head and smiled, and said: "Yijie, Master has watched you grow up since childhood, and I know your temperament best...... Fortunately, having Cher watching you in the future may make me feel a little relieved. β
Turning her eyes to Nangong Xue, she sighed: "Xue'er, Master admits that there are some old-fashioned patriarchal ideas in his temperament, which may not be very fair to you. In my conscience, I have never wanted you to follow Yijie, and I am afraid that his plaything will lose his mind and affect his future. It wasn't until today that I figured out who was qualified or suitable to stay by Yijie's side, maybe you were the only one. Your temperament is more stable than his, so that when he is impulsive, he can calm down and see with his heart whether the road ahead is a bright road or a cliff. This kid is only willing to listen to you alone, in the future, you will have to take good care of my proud protΓ©gΓ©, and the master will hand over Yijie to you. β
Nangong Xue's eyes were full of tears, and at the same time, an extremely ominous premonition swelled up, and said, "I know that Master's strict teachings are all for my good. If a girl's family is unwilling to wash and weave cloth at home, and strip firewood, rice, oil and salt, she should practice martial arts and achieve a great career like a real man. Who said women...... Are you destined to lose to a man? Master, are you ...... Don't say those unlucky words again, you can live many, many more years, me and my brother, we ...... There will also be many children, who will surround you all day long, chasing and fighting, calling you Taishigong...... In the first half of your life, you worked too hard, and when you don't become the head of Huashan, you can really enjoy Qingfu...... In the beautiful mountains and forests, move a bamboo chair, sit in the small courtyard of a hut, bask in the sun, and drink the tea brought by the juniors...... All of this, you have not yet seen, nor have you enjoyed, you ...... You can't just ...... like this" These words came out of her mouth, she was shy, and she only said them in front of everyone to arouse Meng Anying's thoughts.
Many people who heard about it, although they were all tough guys, couldn't help but moisten their eyes when she said a few soft, but extremely emotional words. Xuanshuang fell to the ground, I don't know if he was touched, and his eyes seemed to be quite gloomy, not at all like the arrogance that the victorious side should have.
Meng Anying said: "Yes, yes, you said it very well, and Master is also looking forward to that day, and it depends on you and Yijie to create a ...... This era is already your era, and Master's generation, just like the former leader of the Demon Sect, should have been a person who entered the earth a long time ago! After fighting all his life, he finally ...... We are all losers. If you want to say that Master has suffered all his life, he has suffered and been poor, but the thing that he can't let go of is that An Lin abandoned me, so ruthless...... After listening to your words today, I finally solved the mystery that has been trapped in my heart for many years. Knowing that An Lin has me in her heart, I am really content...... That's enough, too. The vicissitudes of life have been hurried for decades, but they are just a ridiculous dream...... It's just a dream!" The voice stopped suddenly.
