Chapter Twenty-Nine: Talking about rivers and lakes, which are rivers and lakes
Xiao Bai outside Gongsun Mansion seemed to be in a good mood because Xu Beiyou successfully survived, and smiled with a smile: "There are talented people in the country, each leading the way for three or two years, and a generation of people has passed the glory, and there must be a new person who has come forward." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoToday's play is over, and it's time for us to go back. ”
Yu Kuang drove the carriage and drove in the direction of Shence Gate.
When passing by the Shence Gate, Yu Kuang suddenly asked: "The opera garden has been dispersed, why is the opera still on the stage?"
Xiao Bai in the carriage said indifferently: "It's just for that little bit of business." ”
Yu Kuang sneered, "Sword Sect." ”
The sound of horses' hooves and wheels faded away, and finally disappeared into the night rain.
Now that the protagonist has come to an end, there is naturally no need for the supporting characters to continue to stay on the stage.
The back house has calmed down, and the fierce battle in the front house has gradually come to an end.
After Nian Geng's sword master slashed off the head of a Sword Sect disciple with a sword, he frowned, squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of Houfu.
I don't know why, the two sword intents of the Houfu disappeared together, could it be that the two of them fought and lost both?
Just rely on Xu Beiyou?
Nian Geng Sword Master didn't believe in his heart that Xu Beiyou could defeat Chi Bing, who was already at the peak of human immortals, but the situation in front of him was indeed not optimistic.
At this time, the Chen Ren swordsman also turned his head to look at him, and after the two glanced at each other, they both had the idea of retreating.
If Chi Bing misses, their only way to survive is to leave Jiangdu City as soon as possible and die at the end of the world.
It's just that the villain is good, but it's hard to leave.
An old man appeared not far behind them, wearing a hat and a hat with his trousers rolled up high, and straw sandals on his feet, looking like a fisherman.
But this is not a riverside where you can fish, but the Ronghuafang of Jiangdu City.
The Chen Ren Sword Master turned abruptly to look at the figure under the rain curtain, his face gradually turned pale, and then his entire body began to tremble slightly.
Nian Geng's sword master was slightly better, but he also showed a look of despair, and his previous calmness and calmness had disappeared from the moment he found the old man, leaving only the fear that could not be concealed.
The two sword masters of the Sword Qi Soaring Hall both recognized this old man, and because they knew him, they were afraid.
The old man looked at the two through the rain curtain and said indifferently: "It's time for this farce to end." ”
Nian Geng's sword master smiled miserably, "It turned out to be Shangguan Shi's uncle." ”
Shangguan Qinghong raised his right hand, his index finger and middle finger together, and pointed at the two of them from afar, "The following offenders, traitorous crimes, should be killed according to the laws of the sect, and the old man, as the head of the Prudential Punishment Division, should be executed in person to clear the door." ”
The Renchen Sword Master said in a trembling voice: "How can this be? Could it be that Chi Bing is really dead?"
"The first evil red prop has been ambushed. Shangguan Qinghong said calmly: "The young master will personally hand the blade." ”
Nian Geng swordsman was silent, and Renchen swordsman looked sad.
Shangguan Qinghong did not rush to make a move, but quietly waited for the last words of the two.
The Renchen Sword Master lowered his head and asked softly, "Can you not die?"
"From the time you decided to rebel against the young master with Chi Bing, there was no turning back. Shangguan Qinghong said flatly, "The reason why the sect master wanted to appoint the old man as the head of the Prudent Criminal Division back then was because the old man was not afraid of killing, nor was he stingy in killing. ”
Shangguan Qinghong's tone was calm but could not be refused.
Only at this moment, Shangguan Qinghong is not like the old man who always remembers the past on weekdays, showing a bit of the decisive demeanor of killing when he was young.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Shangguan Qinghong was a murderer.
The Renchen Swordsman burst out laughing violently, almost tears in his eyes, almost out of breath.
In the end, he choked up.
Nian Geng's sword master sighed heavily, a little unwilling, a little helpless, and a little relieved.
In the end, he smiled.
Shangguan Qinghong's face was expressionless, and he asked softly, "But there are still last words?"
Neither spoke.
Shangguan Qinghong's fingers trembled lightly twice, and the two of them were instantly pierced through their heads by the sharp sword qi, and there was no room for resistance.
――
In the back house, Xu Beiyou sat on Chi Bing's corpse, holding Chi Bing's head with both hands, and looked at Chi Bing, who was not blind, with a calm face.
Thin raindrops fell from the sky again, washing away the smell of blood, merging with the blood on the ground and slowly meandering.
After entering the rivers and lakes, first of all, we must not be drowned by the wind and waves, and then after a series of ups and downs, there are generally two results, one is to go with the flow, and the other is to stand tall.
Before the age of twenty, Xu Beiyou thought that the rivers and lakes were a chic and free place, black and white, good people fought with swords, bad people killed people and set fires, those who fought righteous people brushed their clothes, and those who killed did not leave their names.
After the age of twenty, Xu Beiyou suddenly understood that the so-called rivers and lakes are not black or white, but gray, this is a land of fame and fortune.
Here, what is black can become white, and what is white can also become black, which seems to be without rules, but in fact it is very particular.
Here, there are very few killings for no reason, and every killing is a request. As for those murderous madmen, naturally someone will dispose of them, killing them not because they are evil, but because they break the rules.
The rivers and lakes are actually very similar to temples, and the rules are greater than the sky.
Those who follow the rules may not live well, but those who dare to break the rules will definitely die miserably.
This is the rivers and lakes.
The first time Xu Beiyou walked into the rivers and lakes, he experienced the darkest side of the rivers and lakes and temples.
The Dark Guard Mansion exterminated the Chonglong Temple, leaving only one Zhiyun, and then Gongsun Zhongmou slaughtered those Secret Guards.
This made his beautiful vision of the rivers and lakes collapse, and then after coming into contact with many big people, his understanding of the rivers and lakes was only the word fame and fortune.
The little people are not worthy of faith and morality, that is the exclusive property of the big people.
What little people can talk about is survival and a little fame.
Now Xu Beiyou is getting farther and farther away on this road, unable to turn back or stop.
Maybe one day when he can reach the height of Master Gongsun Zhongmou, he can stop and rest, and then stop and look back, there will be a bloody and flashy road behind him.
Xu Beiyou suddenly drank a little.
From not drinking to not having fun, the process is not as slow as imagined.
Wine can be intoxicating, and drunkenness can temporarily escape many things, allowing people to get a rare respite in this impetuous world, and can also release a little bit of the grievances that they have suppressed in their hearts.
Drunk as a song.
It's a pity that there is no wine, Xu Beiyou has some regrets, so he can only whisper to Chi Bing's head: "Life is not easy in the world, so I don't pay much attention to the word humility, and there are not so many reasons, since ancient times, there are only heroes who talk about success or failure, even if you are the overlord of Western Chu, if you are defeated, you will be defeated, and if you die, you should close your eyes, blindly hanging a mouthful of resentment and obsession, I am afraid that it is difficult to even be reincarnated." ”
"I don't like to kill, I don't like it at all, every time I kill someone I feel that my hands are dirty, slimy, like a layer of dried blood, but I have to kill, this world forces me to keep killing people, you are not the first, and you will not be the last. ”
"There are not many masters in the realm of human immortals, nor too few, but the peak of human immortals like you, there are still not too many of them, and I am just a mere realm of ghosts and immortals, do you feel very aggrieved to die at my hands?
"I have read some Buddhist classics, which say that the three poisons of greed, hatred, and ignorance are the most deceiving people's minds, you are not angry that I have the inheritance of the master, it is for anger, you want to sit on the sword qi volley hall, it is for greed, there are two of the three poisons, you have long forgotten the word caution, and you are bent on killing me, but you don't know that the Qingyun Avenue in your eyes is actually a dead end that cannot be turned back. ”
Xu Beiyou just held Chi Bing's head and said to himself, absurd and ridiculous, but there was a chilling coldness.
I don't know how long it took, a paper umbrella covered the wind and rain above Xu Beiyou.
Xu Beiyou asked without looking back, "It's all over?"
Song Guanguan, who had changed into a brand-new oil-paper umbrella, nodded lightly and said, "The damned ones are dead, and the ones who should be alive are still alive." ”
Xu Beiyou was silent for a moment, and then got up with his head in his hand, "Since it's over, then it's time for me to go to my wife's side." ”
