Chapter 19: Mo Evil's Idle Habits (2)
Hearing this, Master Mo couldn't help but sigh, and it seemed that there was something unspeakable, and after a little thought, he immediately said:
"You may be too confident, as far as Master knows, it's good that you can get to a draw with him...... This is also one of the reasons why Master used to prevent you from going down the mountain for revenge. However, if things really come to the point you said, Master doesn't blame you. Because Master is already a monk, he is too lazy to bother with that idleness. ”
"Thank you for Master's grace, but if that happens, the disciple will definitely apologize for his sins with death afterwards, and punish the disciple for committing the following crimes, boldly and recklessly, but this does not mean that the disciple regrets the original intention of participating in this matter! ”
"You don't have to take this matter too seriously, Buddhism pays attention to the word 'fate' in everything, and everything has already been decided. Since Master can't stop you from returning to the worldly world to fight, the only way to persuade you is to do everything yourself. ”
"Thank you for Master's teachings!" Yi Kong said, pulling the woman out of the woods again.
"Everything has a fixed number, and it is beyond the power of the old nun to change it," Mo Xie Shitai looked at Yi Kong's back, shook his head and sighed involuntarily: "It's just that this never-ending grievances and grievances in the rivers and lakes, retribution for grievances, when will it be? Although Yi Kong, this kid is very smart, but he just can't understand this level." ”
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yi Hui introduced Xing'er to the master, and Xing'er immediately knelt down and bowed to Master Mo Xie. When Master Mo heard that she was a close disciple of Mrs. Eno, she hurriedly helped her up. When she knew that Mrs. Eno had been harmed by Xiang Tiantian, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and then said:
"Xiang Batian has always been bent on going his own way, this is a new problem he has obviously encountered in improving the power of the 'Ghost Thirteen Styles', and the best way is naturally to use someone with comparable kung fu to try to find mistakes. Pity your master just happened to run into this old bastard, isn't this a catastrophe? But what makes the old body strange is, why don't she use her 'insinuation' secret weapon?"
"It's all the apprentice's fault," Yi Hui hurriedly said, "It was the old man who gave the secret weapon to the disciple in advance." ”
"Whether it's a blessing or a curse, there is a definite number, and it can be reversed if you and I don't have to," Mo Xie Master couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and then said: "Thinking about Mrs. Eno, if that secret weapon is in her hand, how can it cause her to end up like this? Back then, the master and his old man all planted a heel in her 'insinuation' secret weapon, but I didn't expect that now I will cheapen you ghost girl!"
"The disciple is guilty. Yi Hui hurriedly bowed down and apologized.
"It's not that you're guilty, but that all of this is predetermined by luck, and it is not up to you and me to undo and avoid it. In the future, you and Zhong Ming must treat Mrs. Eno well, a little apprentice, and you will not lose your old body and Mrs. Eno as friends. Master Mo said it, and the two nodded yes again and again.
At this time, it was proposed by the Lone Ranger in the Western Wilderness: I want to celebrate everyone who can meet a piece today. For this reason, he deliberately said:
"There is a village not far from here, and the cook in the inn in the town cooks a very good sweet and sour carp. If Grandma doesn't object, I'm going to have to invite you to a table today. ”
Everyone laughed, and after inviting Master Mo and Yi Yi to get on the horse, everyone then walked out of the woods together, and then Xia Feiguan led the way towards the inn. Although the inn is not big, the food is quite local, and the big guys like it very much. During the banquet, when everyone talked about the news of Zhong Ming's father's unfortunate death, Mo Xie Shi couldn't help but leave two lines of tears, and said:
"In this life, I owe a lot to this son. ”
In order to change the topic and not make grandma overly sad, Zhong Ming began to ask his grandmother why his brother Xiang Xingying left Sanshan Island. Yi Yi, who was on the side, just wanted to interject to explain, but was stopped by Mo Ye with a gesture. After a moment of silence, Master Mo still couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and had to express indignantly:
"Not to mention this little brute, this child has inherited almost all the shortcomings of his grandfather, but the old body does not see that he has inherited any of the advantages of his grandfather. In addition, he had learned a lot from the Skeleton Shuangsha, and the reason why the old man left Sanshan Island in a hurry this time was because of this little beast!"
Although everyone was surprised when they heard this, it was a matter of family affection, and no one could ask more questions. After all, Master Mo was so angry with Xiang Xingying, and once he talked about it at this time, he couldn't stop for a while. Looking at everyone's puzzled expressions, he couldn't help but sigh, and began to explain slowly:
"Although the old body is not as obsessed with martial arts as his senior brother in his life, he has also become obsessed with martial arts all his life. In addition to practicing the martial arts passed on by the master, he also made achievements in the practice of martial arts in private, and was accustomed to recording his martial arts training in a booklet so that the editor-in-chief could pass it on to future generations.
"Who knew that this little beast was not only born to be inferior, but also quite a thief, and even did not let go of the things of his relatives. Before leaving, he quietly stole the old body's unfinished "Mo Evil Leisure Record". That's the old body's decades of hard work, good people have to go, it's fate, if it's a bad person who has to practice martial arts, it will help the consequences of abuse. It will invisibly increase the sin of the old body, so the old body hurriedly left the island to chase after him, but unfortunately he still can't get the news of the little beast. ”
The lone ranger in the Western Wilderness has long been aware of the dangers of the attack on the sky, and he can't help but worry:
"Grandma's martial arts family is a rare pinnacle in the martial arts, and through the accumulation of these years, this martial arts secret book is naturally more important now. If Xiang Xingying just stole it to practice by himself, the problem was not too big, and if he accidentally spread it to outsiders, the consequences would be really unimaginable. ”
Xing'er likes to deduce when she encounters trouble, and remembering the dangers that Zhong Ming and Yi Hui have suffered in the past, she can't help but say to Mo Xie Shitai at this time:
"Grandma must have recorded many of your old man's practice methods in this book, and if this news comes out, this big brother Xiang Xingying may be in danger everywhere. ”
When Master Mo nodded in contemplation, he suddenly raised his head and shouted:
"Who's eavesdropping?"
After that, the chopsticks and arrows in his hand came out of his hand. When Yi Hui and others chased them out to check, they saw that two people had been pierced through their heads by bamboo chopsticks outside the window of the inn's living room, and it was obvious that the wound site could no longer live. While everyone was puzzled, they suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves outside the courtyard, and when everyone rushed over to see, a person galloped away on a fast horse with a saddle.
Watch as the horse's foot strength is extraordinary, and it is by no means something that ordinary horses can catch up. When everyone was helpless, they had no choice but to retreat to the inn and report the situation outside to Master Mo. When Mrs. Mo asked everyone who the two people who died outside were, everyone shook their heads and said they didn't know, and Mrs. Mo couldn't help but sigh:
From now on, there will be constant disputes in the rivers and lakes over this thing, and the old man's "Idle Study" will be difficult to find again, and this kid Xiang Xingying will also be in great trouble. ”
The matter is related to the family entanglement of Mrs. Mo's family, and everyone present is not easy to interject and comment. Only Zhong Ming blamed himself:
"It's all because my grandson has a lot of things at the moment, so I have caused so many rights and wrongs, if it weren't for my many mouths and tongues, I wouldn't have this result. If I hadn't met that mad woman in the woods, I wouldn't have been followed. For the sake of the moment, there is no better way to find my brother as soon as possible, get ahead of the outsiders, and take back the book. ”
Everyone nodded in agreement, but the world is so big and the ground is so wide, everyone knows that it is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack to find Xiang Xingying. If a person really wants to hide a book and doesn't want people to know about it, there are many ways. How easy is it to find the book until everyone can't find Xiang Xingying? Everyone was silent for this reason.
As everyone knows, the three spies outside the inn are the three henchmen sent by the ghosts, and the two who died at the scene are two brothers, the elder brother is called Dong San, the younger brother is called Dong Si, and the one who ran away is called Gao Qingshi. Gao Qingshi reacted quickly because of his quick hands and feet, and he escaped alive by being far away from the window at that time, and at the same time was pleasantly surprised to find out the news.
After he fled back to the master's residence on a fast horse, in order to invite merit, he hurriedly reported the news to Xu Bucheng and Niu Yuying, thinking that he would definitely get a heavy reward from the master for his miraculous work. Xu Bucheng really attached great importance to it after getting this news, and when he was ecstatic, he first asked Gao Qingshi Monster:
"Can you see clearly, Dong San, Dong Si, and both of them are dead?"
"The apprentice can see clearly, the heads of the two people are pierced by a bamboo chopstick, how can you still live?"
Xu Bucheng still asked very carefully:
"Did someone talk to you on the road?"
"Since the apprentice got this news, he has been running all the way in order to save his life, and even if he meets acquaintances on the road, he naturally can't care about greeting, so how can he still have the heart to gossip. ”
Xu Bucheng smiled when he heard this, and then praised: "Very good, very good!" Speaking of this, he suddenly hit Gao Qingshi's chest with a palm. Gao Qingshi never dreamed that his master would reward him like this at this time, and immediately fell to the ground, his eyes were wide before he died, and he struggled to ask:
"Master, master...... You ......"
Niu Yuying, who was on the side, was also puzzled by her husband's move, and couldn't help but ask her husband:
"You ......"
Xu Bucheng smiled again at this, then bowed to the disciples on the ground, and explained:
"Maybe the master is sorry for you, but don't blame the master for being ruthless, this matter is very important, and no one else is allowed to leak any information, so you can rest assured." From now on, your wife and children will be raised by me, and if you break your promise, you will tell me that I will not die if I don't make it! At present, in order to keep the secret and prevent the news from spreading, the master has to adopt this method. ”
Gao Qingshi has always been the right-hand man of the ghost envoy, and it was not until this time that he realized that such a secret should not be told to the master at all, because whoever gets the "Mo Evil Idle Record" may be able to dominate the world in the future! Although the ghost envoy and his wife are quite famous in the rivers and lakes, they are far from his master's martial arts, and the reason is that the master did not pass on the "Ghost Thirteen Styles" to them, and although the two of them are a little dissatisfied with this in private, they are also helpless.
The news that Gao Qingshi found out almost made Xu Cheng ecstatic, lest he leak this secret to others again, and ruin his scheme, so he made this ruthless move to prevent future troubles. As a great disciple of Xiang Batian, he also knew that his master's martial arts back then were only completed after being taught by his master Mo Xie Shitai.
The reason why the master is so successful, in addition to his outstanding talent, is actually a second disciple of Peng Zu in this world. Today, nearly forty years after Mo Ye and Xiang Batian broke up, his martial arts progress is naturally not the same as in the past, if he can get the "Mo Ye Leisure Record" private practice, his martial arts will definitely improve by leaps and bounds, and he will even be able to compare with his master in the future.
When he explained the whole plan in his heart to Niu Yuying, Niu Yuying was still sullen and a little sad to lose such a loyal apprentice. Xu Bucheng had no choice but to quickly put the apprentice's body into a box, and wait for the night to take it out and throw it into a nearby lake, and now he hurried to the master to report back.
Xiang Batian was discussing with the Flying Witch at this time the recent rumors about who the flower picking thief was on the rivers and lakes, and the Flying Witch deliberately guided Xiang Batian to think nonsense in order to cover up the truth of the matter. According to the report of the ghost envoy god sent at the first day of today, he knew that some people in the rivers and lakes had mistaken this incident for his grandson Zhong Ming.
Now that everyone has figured out that Zhong Ming himself is innocent, although there is a flying witch fetters from it, with Xiang Batian's head, he can't help but secretly suspect his other grandson, Xiang Xingying. In order to dispel his doubts, when he asked about Xiang Xingying's recent whereabouts, the Flying Witch replied very cautiously. She replied:
"Since everyone has been busy dealing with the continuous siege of the various sects in the world recently, my subordinates are also doing secret investigations for Zhikong's recent whereabouts. Therefore, he deliberately entrusted Xiang Gongzi to two subordinates to take care of it. If the lord wants to summon him at this time, his subordinates will send someone to inform them to report here. ”
Before everything is yet to be decided, the last thing Xiang Batian wants to see at the moment is his unscrupulous descendant Xiang Xingying, thinking of him, he added to his heart, and after hearing the Flying Witch explain this, he couldn't help but sigh and said:
"For his father's sake, you just have to ask someone to take care of his life. I see this child with twinkling eyes, well-behaved language, lack of honest feelings, and besides, his ambition is sparse, and it is not easy for him to participate in big things, so our plan now is not to let him know too much. ”
Xiang Batian's assessment can be described as a meticulous observation of Xiang Xingying, and every sentence is to the essence. When the two were talking, Xu Bu had something to report to Xiang Batian, and before he could open his mouth after entering the door, Xiang Batian asked him:
"I heard that Mo Xie once asked you to bring a letter to the old man?"
But after the incident, she took it back and shattered it. ”
"It's a pity I don't know what is written on it?"
As far as the apprentice knows, it is just a Tang poem narrated by Master Mo Xie to Yi Yi, although the letter is gone, but the apprentice still remembers two sentences of the poem. ”
"Speak quickly!" said Xiang Batian with some impatience.
"It seems to be a poem by a poet of the Tang Dynasty, and there are two lines in the poem: 'Shoot the man first and shoot the horse first, and capture the thief and capture the king first', which is the easiest to remember. As for the other words, the apprentice could not remember. ”
In this way, it should be a poem by Du Fu in the Tang Dynasty. Xiang Batian, like other martial arts masters, read a lot of books in addition to ordinary exercises, and immediately said when he heard this: "According to what you said, the whole poem should be: 'Hold the bow when you are strong, and use the arrow when you use the long. Shoot the man first and shoot the horse, and capture the thief first and capture the king. There is a limit to killing, and the nations have their own borders. If you can control the invasion of the mausoleum, how can you kill more!'"
"It's this poem, I didn't expect that although your old man was not there, Master, he could recite them all. Xu Bucheng immediately praised.
"Mo Ye is Mo Ye, with a unique vision and deep mysteries. Xiang Batian ignored the apprentice's appreciation, and ignored the white eyes of the flying witch next to him, and after a little thought, he only said:
"The first four sentences are like a slap in the face, and I should write them on the side of my bedside as supreme instructions, always warning myself, and I will ignore the last four sentences. If the old man can't demonstrate by killing people, who in the world will listen to the old man's words! But why did she suddenly regret it......
Speaking of this, Xiang Batian's eyes suddenly rolled, paused slightly, and continued:
"No wonder she wrote and destroyed the letter, the old woman just borrowed the past as a metaphor for the present, no matter what came easily, and tried to persuade the old man to kill as little as possible, but she did not expect that the first four lines of this poem would inspire me to kill the Yikong nun, and in the end it was not suitable for her apprentice...... That's why I later regretted it, and I didn't expect that I would hear a thing or two in vain, and still relay the contents of the letter to me!"
said to Batian, and laughed very proudly. After his laughter stopped for a while, Xu Bufang continued to report:
"Today, the three disciples sent by the disciples were killed by unknown people for no reason, and the various sects seem to have some other big plans recently, which seem to be more important than the Yikong Nun who has said to challenge us, and I hope that the master will be more cautious in everything during this period. ”
Xiang Batian couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said:
"You want me to be cautious, it's really a big joke! The old man doesn't kill others indiscriminately now, it's a blessing for the gang of them, I don't believe that there is anyone else in the world who dares to plot against the old man? Among the people in the world who are enemies of me, except for one Yi Kong who dares to openly call out the old man, who else dares to come out and speak?"
"Still, we'd better be careful. The Flying Witch also persuaded from the side.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Batian continued to say disapprovingly:
"It's that Yikong nun who is just a bad guy accepted by my wife halfway, how can her martial arts be compared with the old man? If you don't believe me, I can go out tomorrow to see how I kill fifty of his generals in one go, and avenge your three apprentices!"
