Chapter 218: Dialogue
On the Taishi chair, Meng Lao, whose face was pale and his eyes were bloodshot, finally overflowed with a bloodshot from his mouth after a continuous, heart-rending cough.
"Grandpa!"
Meng Hao was still in a state of indifference, but at this time, seeing Meng Lao's brows furrowed, as if he was in extreme pain, he immediately reacted, only to feel extremely flustered, and couldn't help but shout.
Although Meng Hao is narrow-minded and arrogant, he is always connected by blood with his own grandfather, and he was raised by Meng Lao, so it is naturally impossible to be indifferent to Meng Lao's condition.
Seeing this, Ye Wen opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly stopped, his eyes flickered slightly, and he just stood aside respectfully.
"It's okay, it's okay. ”
After half a ring, Meng Lao shook his head slightly, waved his hand to stop Meng Hao's intention to step forward, and then smiled bitterly, took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped his mouth, thus wiping the blood foam representing an ominous breath from his mouth.
Meng Lao glanced at Meng Hao, his eyes flashed with kindness, and then leaned back in the chair, his gaze moved to Ye Wen, who remained silent and his expression remained unchanged, the corners of his mouth tightened slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "Ye Wen, do you know what I called you here this time?"
"The disciple doesn't know, and I ask the master to make it clear. ”
Ye Wen sighed in his heart, looked up at Meng Lao, a sense of ominousness welled up in his chest, and his heart was furious, but in the absence of intelligence support, it was difficult to analyze the answer in detail, so he had to answer truthfully.
Hearing this, Meng Lao raised his hand and patted his forehead, and suddenly said self-deprecatingly: "Heh, that's what I said, how can you know ......?"
Just when Ye Wen was deeply puzzled, he heard Meng Lao then ask, "Do you know the region of living beings?"
"The land of living beings?"
Ye Wen was shocked in his heart, but he didn't know why Meng Lao would mention this place, he was naturally not a stranger to this place, although he had never been deeply involved in it, but his murderous name had been mentioned by Zao Wou-Ki of the Jiaolong Gang as early as when he first entered the jungle, and he was nervously mentioned with a nervous face, and then he was introduced into it by an elder of the Blood Wolf Gang, and a thrilling battle broke out.
But it's not unfamiliar, but it doesn't mean it's very familiar, after all, Ye Wen himself has only stayed in the periphery for a while, and he has never seen the demon beasts lurking there, whether it is as terrifying as rumored, Ye Wen has not experienced it himself.
"Do you think the war is far away from Chiba Castle?"
Just when Ye Wen was speculating in his heart, such an inexplicable sentence suddenly burst out of Meng Lao's mouth.
Ye Wen was slightly stunned, stunned by Meng Lao's confusing and extremely jumping thinking, and was suddenly a little confused, and was about to start asking, and then heard Meng Lao continue: "The last large-scale war, it should have been thirty years ago, right? After the end of the tripartite war with Soul Hook City and Tongxuan City, Chiba City ushered in a superficial peaceful day, but the apparent peace does not mean real peace......
"No one knows when the real battle to destroy the city will break out completely, the battle and killing in the world has always been so resolute, leaving no room for the slightest, and tens of millions of people die without a place to bury, and because of this, the idea of taking precautions naturally appeared in the minds of the high-level leaders of Chiba City. ”
"Raising soldiers for a day is used in one day, but if you only raise it without training, it is just raising a bunch of waste, and how can simple training compare to the fight in actual combat, so in this kind of thinking, the army intentionally or unintentionally opens up the front in the jungle, sometimes to deal with the jungle monsters, sometimes to deal with the soldiers in the other city who meet on a narrow road. ”
When Meng Lao said this, he sighed lightly and continued: "No matter what the original idea was, with the deliberate connivance, local wars are constantly breaking out in the jungle, and the place where the war is most fierce is the area of living beings, where there are a large number of hostile monks, most of them from Soul Hook City and Tongxuan City. ”
"In the past thirty years, the war line has been established in the region of living beings, plus the demon beast camp, a total of four forces are fighting each other, and the war will definitely usher in casualties, if there are casualties, it will definitely affect the strength of the army, in this case, it is natural to continue to replenish the source of troops...... Do you understand what I mean?"
Hearing this, Ye Wen smiled bitterly, what does this kind of thing have to do with him, he didn't enlist in the army, he was just a gang leader a while ago, and now he fantasizes about becoming a student of the academy and studying the rumored way of refining talismans, but now it seems that he wants to be a talisman refiner who has done retreat and cultivation, does not listen to things outside the window, and has no quarrel with the world, I am afraid that it is a luxury.
Since Meng Lao said this, how could he not understand, thinking of the army's style of acting, the punishment system of distributing and replenishing the army at every turn, and Meng Lao's current recounting of the war history of Chiba City, the meaning of his words is already extremely clear, and there is no need to have any speculation.
"Joining the army in actual combat? Is this a side bonus for being a disciple?"
Ye Wen frowned, and glanced at Meng Hao, who was full of impatience, his eyes flashed, and after a moment of silence, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pull, and the sharp light flashed in his eyes, staring straight at Meng Lao, there was no pretense of respect in it, but the eyes that restored the gang fight, everyone is the prey, and said sarcastically.
"Bold!Ye Wen, what kind of attitude do you have? How dare you talk to my grandfather like this in such a tone?!"
Meng Hao, who had been staring at Ye Wen with hostile eyes, and was standing on the side, saw Ye Wen's slightly contemptuous attitude, and suddenly became furious, and said fiercely.
Meng Hao's noisy voice echoed in Ye Wen's ears, but Ye Wen didn't seem to hear it, his eyes were still calm and cold, and he looked at Meng Lao who was sitting on the Taishi chair with a solemn expression.
Suddenly, Meng Lao slowly spoke: "Hao'er, you go out first." I have something to talk to you about alone. ”
“...... Be. ”
Hearing this, Meng Hao was stunned, with a hint of incomprehension in his eyes, and turned his head to look at his grandfather, but he was replied with a sharp gaze, which contained a meaning that could not be denied.
Meng Hao swallowed his saliva suddenly, for him, grandpa is not only a kind elder, but also an extremely stern master who does not allow others to argue, and has accumulated great authority, in the face of this terrible look, he immediately put back the words that were about to burst out of his mouth, and then reluctantly, and walked towards the door with a grumbling stomach.
Ye Wen was slightly stunned, then his eyes narrowed slightly, his nerves tensed slightly, and he secretly mobilized the Dao power in his body, slowly circulating throughout his body, but he did not exude the slightest fluctuation, although it was unlikely, everything always needed just in case.
After Meng Hao walked out and the door was closed again, Meng Lao, who covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed a few times, looked up at Ye Wen, although his face was unusually white, he faintly exuded a bearing, and said lightly: "You don't have to be nervous." It seems that the friendship between you and me as a master and apprentice is really like a water moon mirror flower, but this is also a matter of course, after all, the two of us have only been masters and apprentices for a short time, not to mention the advanced way of refining talismans, and even the foundation of it has never taught you, so such an unexpected thing happened. ”
"Hehe, you are a smart child, you must have guessed a long time ago, I didn't take you as an apprentice out of sincerity, I was afraid that I had other intentions, but I was a little confused, why did you know that I had bad intentions, but in the end you were still willing to worship me as a teacher? Are you really so confident in your own strength?"
I never thought that the other party would reveal the secret, and directly admitted that he had other intentions, Ye Wen's pupils shrank suddenly, a little shock flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Meng Lao in astonishment.
