Chapter Seventy-One: Excalibur
(It's the end of the month, ask for a recommendation ticket!)
Coarse cloth clothes, straw sandals, a broad-brimmed hat, no longer with a wooden strip at his waist, but with a sword pinned to itβ
A very long and large sword, unwrapped in a scabbard, the swarthy blade was directly exposed, as if it was cast of dark iron, and it looked extremely heavy.
Such a prestigious swordsman, even if you can't see his face, but when you see his sword, you see his person.
For a moment, Ye Junsheng had the urge to use his sword intent to observe the blood and aura above his head, but he finally held back. I knew in my heart that a peerless swordsman like Xie Xingkong would definitely be extraordinary, but I was afraid that it would burn like a big pot of fire and burn his eyes.
Xie Xingkong just stood at the door of the temple for a while, and without saying a word, he strode towards the riverside.
Ye Junsheng asked, "Is Xie Daxia going to war with the river demon?"
Jiang Jing'er nodded: "Well, at this time of the day, the river demon will make waves and come to fight." β
"You've been to war too?"
Jiang Jing'er said abruptly: "No, I can't swim, so I have to sweep the battle on the side." β
A smile appeared on the corner of Ye Junsheng's mouth, with a look of "I understand".
Jiang Jing'er looked angry and said, "Hmph, although my martial arts can't compare to Xie Daxia, it's enough to beat you." As he spoke, he also vividly pinched his pink fist and shook it in front of Ye Junsheng.
Ye Junsheng smiled: "That's it, I don't know martial arts." β
He really doesn't know martial arts, "Yongzi Eight Swords" belongs to supernatural powers, and it is not in the category of martial arts.
"It's good that you know, huh. β
"Since we're going to fight, let's hurry over and see what that river demon looks like. β
Hearing this, Jiang Jing'er immediately objected: "No, if you fight, the wind and waves will be huge, and if you don't pay attention to it, it will sweep you into the river, which is very dangerous." Then again, the monster was hiding under the waves, and he couldn't see it at all. β
Ye Junsheng realized: "So, Xie Daxia is just fighting with the waves bulging up by the river demon?"
"That's true. β
Jiang Jing'er glanced at Ye Junsheng with slanted eyes, and asked strangely: "Idiot, aren't you scholars 'respecting ghosts and gods and staying away'? β
Ye Junsheng smiled: "If I say that I am here specifically to subdue this river demon, you must not believe it." β
"Of course not. β
Jiang Jing'er's head shook like a rattle, and looking at Ye Junsheng's eyes, it was like looking at a madman, or an ignorant and fearless fool.
What are you kidding, Ye Junsheng is certainly different from ordinary scholars, and he has some strength, but that's all. If he can subdue the river demon, won't he be able to be an immortal?
Ye Junsheng didn't bother with this, and changed the topic: "I heard that Xie Daxia has fought several battles with the river demon in the past few days, but he didn't take advantage. β
Jiang Jing'er's face was a little gloomy, and she said with a wry smile: "Don't you know, that river demon is not small, and he occupies a good position, where is it so easy to kill? Xie Daxia really has to do his best, he is really chivalrous." β
Ye Junsheng suddenly said: "I don't think so." β
Jiang Jing'er's eyes widened: "What did you say?"
Ye Jun was leisurely: "I don't know if Xie Daxia is chivalrous, I only know that if he does this, it is likely to cause the people around him to suffer." β
"Nonsense!"
Jiang Jing'er immediately jumped up, Xie Xingkong is a big swordsman in her mind, a big man, how can she tolerate others smearing?
Ye Junsheng did not back down: "Let me ask you, the battle between Xie Daxia and the river demon, in the current opinion, who has the highest chance of winning?"
After a pause, Jiang Jing'er reluctantly replied: "It should be a river demon." β
"Since Xie Daxia has no hope of winning, why is he still here and struggling and refusing to leave?"
"Because he doesn't give up, even if he can't win, he has to fight, this is chivalrous courage, you don't understand, idiot. β
Ye Junsheng said in a deep voice: "But I know that Xie Daxia can't get rid of the river demon, but it will provoke the river demon to be angry, and he wants to make waves and flood for hundreds of miles." In the end, Xie Daxia not only couldn't save a single person, but also killed many people. β
This sentence was like a heavy hammer, hitting Jiang Jing'er's heart hard, and she was shocked: "This is not the case, at the beginning, the villagers warmly welcomed us to kill the river demon......"
"And now?"
Ye Junsheng's rhetorical question was crisp.
Jiang Jing'er's face turned a little pale for a moment.
Xie Xingkong lives in the temple, and she lives in the village, how can she not know the recent discussions of the villagers, they are all a little impatient, and even disgusted, if it continues, maybe they will gather to drive people away.
muttered: "I think it's because they don't understand, Xie Daxia is all for their good." β
Ye Junsheng sighed: "The one who doesn't understand is you." Before you arrived, the villagers had great hopes that they would kill the river demon, but when you were unable to solve the problem, the river demon became furious and dreamed that the village would be flooded. At this time, the villagers feel that you have become a scourge. β
Jiang Jing'er hurriedly said, "How can they think like this?"
Ye Junsheng said word for word: "This is the will of the people." β
"I only have a sword in my eyes, not the hearts of the people!"
It was Xie Xingkong who spoke, and he came back, fluttering, and didn't seem to have gone through a fight.
Jiang Jing'er asked, "Xie Daxia, didn't the river demon come today?"
"Nope. β
With that, he stepped into the temple again.
"What a man only has a sword in his eyes, but no popular heart!"
Ye Junsheng sighed, his eyes habitually narrowed, looking at the undulating river in front of him, stunned: after a short contact, he felt that Xie Xingkong was like the kind of person who only pursued the ultimate in swordsmanship, and he had no distractions about anything else.
Such a person is the purest and the most terrible.
Jiang Jing'er was also in a daze: she was greatly shocked by the conversation with Ye Junsheng just now, and she felt that many things were about to be subverted. Obviously he came to do chivalrous deeds, but why did he become a scourge? What kind of truth is this, I can't figure it out......
All of a sudden, my thoughts were a little confused.
No, it can't be like this, the nerds are just talking nonsense.
What's more, today's Ye Junsheng is very strange, completely strange, as if he has changed people. In Jiang Jing'er's mind, Ye Junsheng should be reciting "Zihu Ye" in the house at this moment, how could he come to the riverside and say such subversive words?
Is the world going crazy?
"Idiot, you, do you have a fever?"
Ye Junsheng smiled and said, "You can treat me as a fever." β
Jiang Jing'er said angrily: "Can this kind of thing be joked about? No, you better go home." The affairs of this place are not for you to meddle in at all. β
"When I'm done, I'll go home. β
After speaking, Ye Junsheng ignored Jiang Jing'er's annoyance, and walked on the riverside, sometimes bowing his head, sometimes raising his eyes to look at the turbulent river, thoughtful.
Faced with such a him, Jiang Jing'er was almost completely unfamiliar - or rather, she didn't know much about Ye Junsheng in the first place.
