Outside the ruined temple, Chen Yanqiu covered her mouth tightly, her pale cheeks were full of pain, and tears fell like dew on flower petals, the long road from the wasteland to Chengjing, no matter how Chen Lujie tortured her mentally and verbally, no matter how hopeless she was in pain, she never cried, until this time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Even though she cried in pain, she still couldn't let go, and after a while, she took the reins, lost her soul and left the ruined temple, and walked aimlessly into the distance, the snow horse behind her lowered her head, looking extremely sad.

Not long after she left, the fighting in the broken temple broke out again, I don't know if it was because the beggars looked at this new beggar who was dirtier and smellier than themselves but always felt a little out of place, or because Chen Lujie's muttering and muttering content angered some people, in short, it was another painful beating.

A clear bloody mouth appeared on Chen Lujie's face, and the blood washed away the dust covering his face, revealing the skin below that was as pure as jade, but that perfect face was ruined after all.

Chen Lujie touched his face, looked at the blood in his palm in a daze, suddenly laughed madly, stretched out his right foot and tripped a beggar, then took out the broken bowl from his clothes and smashed it in the other party's face.

The porcelain piece penetrated deep into the beggar's cheek, and a piece penetrated deep into the eye socket, appearing abruptly on the eyeball, blood splattering everywhere, the picture was extremely terrifying, and the ruined temple was full of exclamations.

Chen Lujie then slit the beggar's throat with a broken bowl.

"Murder!"

"Murder!"

The beggars gathered around with the guys, shouting loudly in horror, but no one dared to step forward to stop Chen Lujie's movements, because Chen Lujie's face did not have any emotion, and the sluggishness was extremely terrifying.

The beggar kicked his leg twice and died, but Chen Lujie still didn't stop, and kept smashing his fist into his face, no matter how weak the fist was, dozens of times and hundreds of times, it could still smash a person's face into cotton wool-like tatters, and blood seeped out of those cotton wool, washing away the flat eyeballs that fell out of the eye sockets.

The indifferent emotions on Chen Lujie's face gradually melted with the beating, until his eyebrows and eyes gradually distorted, turning into a strange look like crying and laughing, and there was no light or darkness in his dim eyes.

He rode on the dead beggar and cried out loudly: "That steamed bun is frozen hard like a bangzi, and you can't eat it until the cabbage soup is soft. Why do you have to follow me? You don't have any steamed buns to eat, who will give me steamed buns to eat in the future?"

His howl like a madman rang out in the ruined temple.

The timid beggars have long been scattered like frightened birds, and those bold beggars who are unwilling to leave this rare shelter hide in the corner in fear, looking at the terrible madman, someone cries in a trembling voice: "Don't worry, the cabbage soup was drunk by us, but the steamed bun has not been eaten yet, it is too hard." ”

Chen Lujie looked blankly at the beggar who was talking and asked, "Then where are my steamed buns?"

The man pointed to the body of the beggar beneath him and said, "In his arms." ”

Chen Lujie fumbled and took out the half of the erect steamed bun from the arms of the beggar under him, looked at it for a long time, and suddenly dipped the steamed bun into the blood water, and asked, "Can it be soaked in some blood?"

No one in the ruined temple dared to answer his question, and when the group of beggars watched him stuff the steamed buns dipped in blood into their mouths, they were even more silent, and then gave birth to some very strange thoughts, with such a madman, can he live better in this world full of human blood?

It's just that they don't know that the madman who dipped in human blood steamed buns in the broken temple is now a beggar, but he used to be a real prince, even if he becomes a prince among beggars in the future, what is the point?

In recent days, the atmosphere in Wuxian Town, which is located in the most remote part of the northeastern border of the Chaoyang Empire, is particularly abnormal, and when a thousand Xuanjia heavy riders return from the wasteland, this atmosphere has become more and more intense, even the wolves seem to be a little afraid of the atmosphere here, and no longer dare to howl at night.

The reason why this is the case, naturally related to the thousand Xuanjia heavy cavalry, the soldiers and civilians in the city faintly knew the news, and the Kyoto Military Department sent a letter to sternly inquire why such an important troop transfer, neither the military department nor the palace heard the news, and asked the general to explain immediately, but the general's palace was silent about it, and the general Ximen Wang said that he was sick and recuperated, and the two vermilion doors had not been opened for a long time.

Suddenly, one day, the door of the general's mansion of the town army was opened, and the soldiers and civilians in the city knew that this meant that something big was about to happen, and they were very surprised who was worthy of such solemn treatment by General Ximen Wang?

A tattered carriage slowly drove into the Immortalless Town under the gaze of countless eyes.

Compared with the simple carriage that may fall apart at any time, the big black horse that pulls the cart is abnormal, very tall, and the demeanor when shaking the head is very happy, the soldiers and civilians of the border Cypriot see many war horses, but they have never seen such a mount, they can't help but be surprised, I wonder who is in the car is so extravagant that this kind of horse is used to pull the cart?

The curtain of the car window was lifted in a corner, and Xu Chen in the carriage looked at a beggar under the wall of the city gate, didn't know what to remember, and said after a moment of silence: "We didn't think about going over to ask for food." ”

The senior brother looked at him and asked slightly, "Why?"

Xu Chen looked at the broken bowl in front of the beggar and said, "Because the things that are begging are always easy to be snatched away, and the food that comes is not fragrant, compared to it, I would rather rob it." ”

Duanmu Rong didn't understand the logic of his words, and after thinking seriously for a while, he said, "Could it be that thieves and robbers are more worthy of understanding and sympathy than beggars?"

"That's the crux of the matter. ”

Xu Chen lowered the curtains, looked at Duanmu Rong and said seriously: "Understanding and sympathy are very cheap emotions, this world is always dangerous, if you want to live, you must learn to reject these emotions, and you can't let yourself be immersed in this emotion and can't extricate yourself." I have always thought that those who pretend to be lonely, imitate despair, cry and cry, hurt themselves and hurt their loved ones, and think that the whole world is sorry for them, are all waste of waste. ”

The names Xu Chen and Prince Chen Lujie are often compared by people in the cultivation world, although most people at that time thought that Xu Chen's qualifications were still a little lacking, but in fact, many people have regarded the two of them as legendary lifelong enemies in their hearts.

In Xu Chen's view, the enemy of life is a kind of saying that is too hot-blooded and even a little bloody. For example, the old monk and Xuan Wei are lifelong enemies in the eyes of many people, but I am afraid that deep down I also have such thoughts, so I will have a lot of envy, jealousy and hatred, but Xuan Wei must not have this interest, after all, it is just a matter of strength realm, as long as one party is strong enough, then he is qualified to ignore the suffering and struggle of the other party.

Standing under the green pine tree at the top of the highest peak, why bother to look back at the scenery on the mountainside where your former companions and former enemies spent countless times your efforts on the long path of cultivation?

At this time, Xu Chen in the carriage didn't know what happened to Prince Chen Lujie, and when he swung the sword, he knew that Prince Chen Lujie was abolished, even if he didn't die, he would definitely be abolished, because a beautiful son of Xiling who grew up in the palace since he was a child and grew up under the care of the Daomen couldn't be like himself and could ignore any suffering, smile and face all obstacles coldly, but overstepped it.

It is precisely because he knows this that after he reached the peak of the back mountain of the Dushan Sect, he no longer regarded Prince Chen Lujie as the goal of his life, or an imaginary enemy, no matter what adventures Prince Chen Lujie would have in the future, any creation, he firmly believed that as long as he defeated the other party once, he would be able to defeat the other party countless times.

Xu Chen lifted the curtain again and looked at the unfamiliar Wuxian Town, when he came to the front line to practice with the Zhusheng of the Duishan Sect in the autumn, he had passed through Wuxian Town, but at that time, Ximen Wang did not meet the Zhusheng of the Duishan Sect, and the team hurried by, he did not carefully see the scenery of Wuxian Town, and he must know that the scenery here has a different meaning to him.

The senior brother and Duanmu Rong in the carriage looked at him quietly, and they both saw that his mood was a little strange at this time, but they didn't know the real reason why he was in a different mood, and thought that it was because he was about to enter the General's Mansion to meet Ximen Wang, Xu Chen was a little nervous thinking about the horse thief on the grassland and the matter of the Book of Heaven.

"The military department can confirm Lin Ling's identity. The senior brother patted him on the shoulder and said gently: "Regardless of whether Ximen Wang admits it or not, the crime of organizing horse thieves to rob the grain and grass of the coalition army on the grassland alone is enough. ”

Xu Chen smiled, in fact, he didn't really understand why the senior brother brought him to Wuxian Town, and he didn't know how to understand the words about the confession that day, the group of horse thieves in the grassland, he had already obtained enough evidence, but this alone could not make Ximen Wang hurt his muscles and bones, as for the punch he hit when he snatched the Book of Heaven by the sea and the Chaoyang side ride that arrived later, it was not enough to overturn Ximen Wang to the ground.

The main gate of the General's Mansion was thick and wide, the long street was sprinkled and cleaned, and the generals and captains were respectfully accompanying them on the side, and compared with the environment, the carriage seemed more and more shabby.

The carriage did not stop in front of the palace gate, but drove directly into the general's mansion, and those border army generals who were ordered to accompany them outside the palace were more and more shocked, thinking to themselves who was in the carriage and could have such a big face? It must be known that General Ximen Wang was one of the most important figures in the imperial military, and even people from the palace were not qualified to drive directly inside.

didn't get off in front of the general's mansion, it was really because the identities of the people in the carriage were different, characters like the senior brother rarely appeared in the world, and the occasional appearance was just a glimpse, which really let people know that he came to Wuxian Town, whether it was for the imperial court or Ximen Wang, it was not a good thing.

The carriage drove into the depths of the General's Mansion and stopped at a winter garden, a scribe named Gu Xi respectfully welcomed the three into the garden, Xu Chen looked at the back of this person, and suddenly shook his head.

General Ximen Wang greeted him under the stone gate at the entrance of the garden, his expression was calm, and he didn't know what his mood was.

Some time has passed since the incident on the seaside, and when they met again, the two sides had a tacit understanding and did not mention the matter of fighting for the book of heaven that day, but they just entered the cold noise, as if it was just the first meeting.

There was a home-cooked banquet in the winter garden, there was no rumored cruel and extravagant dishes such as monkey heads, and there was no rumored that General Ximen Wang was good at trying the courage of the guests to kill the cooking concubine, and there were only light and elegant side dishes and three-color rice porridge on the black wooden table, and everyone on the side of the case ate in silence, and no one spoke.

Xu Chen drank a bowl of rice porridge, took chopsticks and delicate pickles, drank a bowl of rice porridge, and put chopsticks into the bowl, and used the tips of chopsticks to tease silently for a moment, and then he suddenly raised his head and looked at Ximen at the head of the table.

A word in silence is thunder.

When they are silent, they are lightning at a glance.

As a guest, it is very rude to look directly at the host like this, as a junior brother, when the senior brother is present, it is a little unreasonable for him to act first, and then Xu Chen did so, because he really wanted to take a real look at this person.

The senior brother glanced at him slightly, then smiled and continued to bow his head to eat the porridge, as if he felt that this porridge was much more interesting than Simon Wang, the little junior brother, and the faintly oscillating atmosphere of the wind and clouds in the banquet.
