Chapter 14: The Human Heart
Seeing that it is about to reach the end of June, Nanhai Town is already overcrowded, not that they are unwilling to go to Baidao, but at the end of each month, there is only one boat to Baidao, and now there are many people, and there may be additional boats, but the time is still the same.
In this month, there have been countless battles in Nanhai Town, some of them are itchy and some are enmity, in short, the originally quiet and peaceful town has become like a chicken and a dog after the arrival of this group of people, and many locals are in different places because they are not used to seeing the practices of these outsiders. Over time, no one dares to meddle in things.
Outside an inn in the town, a few more groups of pedestrians came, led by a dusty, thin-faced monk, dressed in yellow and holding a demon-slaying pestle, looking old but full of energy, and a group of young disciples behind him, who were also silently following the monk at the moment. They were accompanied by a group of men and women with swords. The leader is dressed in a black and white Pisces suit, with crane hair and a childish face, and his hair is made in a high bun on his head, and his hair is meticulous. The robe hunted with the wind, and the azure sword in his hand exuded a cold aura, which was also an extraordinary thing. Behind him was a group of former people who were also wearing Taoist robes, some men and women, talking and laughing with each other at this time, bursts of laughter from time to time, all of them were handsome men and beautiful women.
The group came to the front of the inn, only to see a man in green clothes come out of it, with azure clothes holding a long sword, with a handsome face and white skin than snow. A pair of peach blossom eyes smile with affection, which makes people feel good. Came to everyone and said softly, "Senior brothers and uncles, I am Chang Yi of Haotian Sect, my uncle ordered me to wait here for a long time, I must be tired and tired, I have ordered someone to prepare wine and food, and I hope that all my uncles and uncles will come with me." The two people at the head nodded slightly at Chang Yi, and one of the crane-haired men said, "Master Chang, I haven't seen you for a few years, and your cultivation is a lot more profound, and you are blessed with the right path when you are young." ”
"Uncle Shi's praise!" Chang Yi gave his hand, but the pride in his eyes could not escape the eyes of everyone. followed Chang Yi to the inn and went up to the second floor. The second floor was chartered, and everyone sat down one after another, also at this time. The master of Haotian Sect walked over and laughed loudly, "Master Jingkong, you are too late!" After speaking, he bowed his hand. "Brother Huang, don't come unharmed, I got up late, there was a delay on the road, fortunately, I met Master Clearance in the back, and we went together. The trip has also been sped up a lot. How about it, if you have time, let's talk about it. Gong Shangqi said, a hint of belligerence flashing in his eyes. "Ahem! Brother Gong laughed, the world knows that your swordsmanship is wonderful, and you can also rank in the top ten on the ground list, the younger brother is afraid that he is not the opponent of Brother Gong, in addition, we are here on behalf of the righteous path this time, and we can't lose our dignity. ”
Gong Shangqi shook his head with some disappointment, and led a group of disciples to a few tables and sat down.
"Master Jingkong, knowing that you monks don't eat meat dishes, I specially asked someone to make a table of vegetarian dishes, I hope you can like it!" Huang Zhen arched his hand and said to the monk who was the leader, and the monk folded his hands and recited the Buddha's name lightly to show his gratitude, and then took his disciple back to the place where Huang Zhen pointed out just now and then sat down.
After everyone was seated, he ordered Xiao Er to serve the food. This time, there was no unsightly disturbance, and the meal seemed to be eaten in harmony, and then they went back to their rooms to rest after the meal. In the room, Gong Shangqi muttered, "This Huang Zhen still regards himself as the host, does he have to arrange our food, clothing, housing and transportation, tsk, seeing his spirit released, he must have improved a lot in cultivation, no wonder he can rank fifteenth on the ground list, and no one has been able to pick it off in recent years." Hey, hey, it's getting more and more interesting!"
"Master, did you just feel that something was wrong in the room over there?" said a yellow-clothed monk from the empty room.
"That's the fluctuation of practice, such an evil and feminine internal force, I think it's also a Yongle Sect, it's filthy!"
"Yongle Palace, isn't that a famous demon sect? They are also here, should we?" Then he made a gesture of wiping his neck with his hand, "Why are the monks still so impatient? This is a big competition held by 'Black Under the Light', and all the people invited are some evil demons and outsiders, we are considered an uninvited group, don't do anything noisy at this time" The young monk nodded in agreement, and then slowly retreated. There was a continuous chanting in the room.
"I didn't expect so many famous and decent people to come, these dignified guys, I don't know how many dirty things they have done behind their backs, and they still boast of being famous and decent, and laugh off their big teeth!" I saw the young sect master of Yongle Palace hugging his naked female companion and said disdainfully. "Of course, they can't compare to the methods of the young sect master, and the other people from the 'Ten Thousand Poison Valley', 'Blood Feather Alliance', and 'Shura Palace' are estimated to be almost there, I didn't expect that this 'Black Under the Light' Dabi could attract so many people!"
The young sect master Shangguan Shuo's fingers swiped back and forth on the girl's jade body, causing the woman to giggle. "Don't underestimate the 'Black Under the Light' organization, its strength is all over the country, and it is said that where there are people, there are their members. The power is not weaker than any big gang, the main thing is that the outside world doesn't know anything about them, this is the most frightening, this time Dabi doesn't know what kind of performance they will show us!" Shangguan Shuo smiled evilly, turned over and got on the horse, and the house was suddenly full of spring.
A few kilometers outside the town of Nanhai. Because the air near the shore smells of salty seawater, but this place is different, and at this time several people have fallen to the ground, and the blood stains the surrounding flowers and plants. There are two factions of people facing each other here, one of them is dressed in white and holding a sharp sword, his clothes fluttering in the wind, and the body of the sword is buzzing. On the other hand, there is no uniform costume or unified weapon, but everyone's face is painted with various gouaches, and their faces are hideous like ghosts. There are also skull emblems on their chests, some with axes, long knives, and some strangely shaped weapons like maces. When everyone exercises, there will be dark gas rushing out of the body, and the stench is unbearable.
"Shen Tu, are you sure you want to spend time here with me?" The person who spoke was the leader of the white-clothed man here, at this time he was holding the Heavenly Thunder Sword and was not unsheathed, but he had just been ambushed and attacked by this group of strangely dressed people, which made him lose a few manpower here, making him angry, and his eyebrows were angry, and the swords around him were trembling at this time. A man with a figure smiling secretly and hiding in a black robe came out of the crowd opposite, and said gloomily, "Wan Ziang, have you forgotten the sword three years ago? ”
"Oh, you can try!" After speaking, the thunder came out of its sheath, with a thunderous sound, emitting a thousand rays of light like a bolt of lightning. With the power of thunder, he attacked Shen Tu. I saw that Shen Tu's body didn't move, but the qi of the dantian rushed out of the sky, and the entire robe suddenly bulged up like a balloon, and finally a pale palm stretched out from the black robe, about to face the Heavenly Thunder Sword. The surrounding disciples were disorganized under the blowing of their strength, and only a few of them stood firmly.
When the two were about to collide, a person suddenly appeared in the field, and his left and right hands each caught the attack of the two, and he saw that the person's face was flushed. Then he took a deep breath, took off the bamboo pole on his shoulder, and said, "It's a big loss, it's a big loss, it's a big loss, I almost broke the pole, and I don't have to drink wine for doing good deeds! It's a loss to my grandmother's house!" The smoke and dust scattered, and everyone saw the sloppy man in the field, carrying a bamboo pole with the words 'Immortal Guidance' on his shoulder.
Tianyi has been leaving Yangzhou for a while, and following Shi Lao, who led him, he has seen the customs and customs of various places along the way. Finding that there were still so many colors in this world, the young man's heart made him look at his identity for a while. Forget the purpose, just enjoy everything at the moment, and experience the life of an ordinary person without using martial arts. Follow the merchants by day and stop by night, and listen to them tell them about the strange things in various places at night. It took nearly a month to walk to Nanhai Town. Along the way, Shi Lao also told him a lot of power divisions on the rivers and lakes, and the most famous of the righteous path is that Huaxi Hao Tianzong, North China Taiyi faction, South China Wanhua Temple, East China Wanjianmen, Tianyi also asked what sect Central China is, and Shi Lao glanced at him and said that Central China is the land of the Son of Heaven, and above the temple, how can others be allowed to sleep peacefully. Of course, there is an orthodox religion and a demon religion, otherwise how can the world be balanced, but the demon religion does not have a fixed territory, because the demon religion will not only be surrounded and suppressed by the righteous path, but will also be hunted down and killed by the imperial court. It can be described as a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouts and beats.
Later, when Tianyi asked which force 'dark under the lamp' was, Shi Lao pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head and said: "The water here is too deep, you have to rely on yourself to explore it in the future!" and then said no more, Tianyi didn't ask much. It was already the end of the month after arriving in Nanhai Town, and I didn't see any big fights from various sects, just waiting for the ship to leave.
At the end of June, the Nanhai town has been extremely hot, the wind blowing is also with a scorching heat, looking at the endless South China Sea, Tianyi found that his mind has become a lot broader, the long wind and clouds, the sunrise Fusang head, the water is clean and dewy shark room, the smoke is condensed mirage, such a beautiful scenery, suddenly born to want to be free, very wanted, very wanted.
