Chapter 44: The Northwest Gathers
The sea of stars is as dreamy as usual, the snow is flying, the tranquility between heaven and earth is far-reaching and long, Pan Dao and Ling Qing are walking in this world of ice sculptures, there is no worry, no tension, forgetting the martial arts conference, forgetting the threat of Ding Yiyun and Ding Chunqiu, they are like a pair of golden boys and girls, fairy heroes.
The way of martial arts is relaxed, one tight and one loose. "Sister Qing'er, the martial arts conference is about to start, although he is not sure of winning against Ding Yiyun, but he doesn't want to win me so easily, he can already do it for self-preservation. You don't have to worry too much. Looking at Ling Qing, who was frowning slightly, he explained.
Ling Qing nodded, she didn't say anything, snuggled on Pan Dao's shoulder and continued to walk, and after a long time, she said, "I'm not worried that you won't be able to protect yourself, it's just that I'm afraid that the turmoil will rise again after the martial arts, and everyone will be more dangerous at that time." ”
"We can't stop things from happening, Li Qiushui's arrival means the beginning of Ding Chunqiu's ambitions, and those who follow the other will prosper and those who rebel against others will die. It may be dangerous, but there are also more opportunities. Pan Dao thought that the story of Tianlong unfolded, and the exciting adventure had begun.
Ling Qing was silent, hugging Pan Dao's arm tightly, she stretched out her palm to grab a falling snowflake, and looked at it in a daze. Pan Dao wisped the green silk on her forehead for her, "Don't worry, Ding Chunqiu shouldn't be Li Qiushui's opponent yet, otherwise he wouldn't continue to nest in the northwest." ”
Ling Qing's smile appeared, "I know it, but I'm still worried. Li Qiushui raised us orphans since childhood, she is like our mother, I really don't want to be against her one day. ”
"No, I promise I won't embarrass you. If there is a day, I will give up for your sake. Pan Dao said comforting words against his will, how can the real opposition be so easy to give up.
"I'll do my best for you. "Ling Qing is not unaware of the possibility of the day when Lu Dao comes, on the one hand, there is a person of love, and on the other hand, there is a kind of affection. She could only choose not to think about it.
The snow in the world makes the world colder, Pan Dao said abruptly, "Governing the country is to convince people with benevolence and compassion to save people, but we martial arts practitioners don't think so, everything depends on strength." Only by being invincible in the world can the strife in the world stop, whether it is Li Qiushui or Ding Chunqiu, they will only surrender to the strong. ”
Duan Yu's benevolence and virtue to convince people and govern the country with virtue and talent can certainly allow the people of a country to live and work in peace and contentment, but it cannot make the country strong and unified. Xuzhu has love in his heart, compassion for the heart, not deliberately, not pursuing, although he can make good men and women happy and happy, but it can only achieve Bodhi by itself, and it is of no great use to the world.
Everything is still the most important strength, if Duan Yu does not have a high force, he can sit on the throne of God, Gao Shengtai family is the real ruler of Dali, if Xuzhu's mercy is useful, Xuanci Abbot will not cut himself off Shaolin, you can have mercy on the world, cross people to become Buddhas, but who is fate, willing to cross you. Strength, who has the opinion to suppress whom, can only talk about benevolence and compassion after that. The big Song is rich, but he doesn't dare to resist when all the small countries fight.
Ding Yiyun walked in the sea of stars, his eyes looked at the white snow, walked slowly, did not stop, Pan Dao took Ling Qing to walk slowly as well, admiring the beautiful tranquility, the three of them crossed at one point, met and smiled.
"Senior brother, I haven't seen my demeanor for a few months. Ding Yiyun broke the silence, his status was lower than Pan Dao, and he spoke first, and his tone was flat and without any emotion.
Ling Qing said hello, Pan Dao looked at Ding Yiyun, and had to admire his attitude, they were about to live and die, and they could still greet each other so normally, "Senior brother, I haven't seen you for many months, and I am getting more and more energetic." It seems that you have won the battle, and I can't be called a senior brother anymore. ”
The corners of Ding Yiyun's mouth curled slightly, "Brother Pan Dao, it's better for you and me to cooperate to create a beautiful tomorrow for the stars." ”
Pan Dao shook his head and rejected his recruitment, "Brother Ding Yiyun, my ambition is not here. He tactfully expressed that he would not compete with Ding Yiyun for the status of senior brother, and he didn't care about the future head of the stars.
"I forgot, there is still Senior Sister Qing'er here, so it's okay. If one day you are willing, the deputy head of my Nakshatra will always be kept for you. Ding Yiyun obviously didn't think that the end of the world would be Pan Dao's retreat, but he didn't ask, and Pan Dao didn't explain, who could know that Lu Dao was actually not here, he longed for a higher level.
Ding Yiyun left, but Pan Dao did not stay. A graceful figure walked in the distance, and Senior Sister Yun Ting stood in front of them, "I heard what you said just now, and the door of my Vulture Palace will also be open for you." After saying that, he turned around and left, without any conversation.
Pan Dao touched his nose and asked, "Sister Qing'er, am I really going to lose." ”
Ling Qing took his arm and let the snowflakes fall, "Master won't let you die." "Whether it is Ding Chunqiu or Li Qiushui, they will not let Pan Dao die at the martial arts conference, everyone knows this, but his martial arts are likely to be abolished, and he will always be an ordinary person in the future.
Fate is far away and unpredictable. You never know what the next step in your life will be, an inflection point can happen at any time, miracles can happen, but it is for those who are prepared.
Pan Daw: Really?
All the people of the Nakshatra sect poured out in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, another month passed, the sky cleared, and the earth rejuvenated. Countless invitations were distributed, and the heads of famous sects in the northwest, martial arts heroes, were all received, and they were invited to watch the ceremony.
Ding Chunqiu naturally wouldn't really let them come to watch the play, his purpose was to form an alliance, and he was the leader of the Northwest Martial Arts Alliance, and now that he was going to enter the Central Plains, no one could resist his will, and he had to work hard. At the same time, he is also showing his strength, proving to Li Qiushui that his status today has surpassed that of everyone in the Loose Sect. This is the dismount, and it is also his determination, the Quanzhen South Sect will be destroyed.
One ring after another in the martial arts training ground was set up, and the disciples were excited to try it, and the time for them to become famous had come. There are profound martial arts here, there is crazy power, defeat everyone, those from the outer door can enter the inner door, and those from the inner door can challenge the true tradition.
There are no generations in the Nakshatra sect, there are only three levels: the outer gate, the inner gate, and the true lineage. The outer disciples have no status, they are only a little higher than ordinary miscellaneous servants, and they usually patrol and do small tasks, cannon fodder level. The inner disciples are higher than the outer disciples, they are the backbone of the sect and the mainstay of the war. The true legend is Ding Chunqiu's apprentice, and now there are nine, senior brother Pan Dao, second senior brother Ding Yiyun, third senior brother Liu Dou, fourth junior sister Ling Qing, fifth junior brother Zheng Hai, sixth junior sister Yun Ting, seventh junior brother Feng Yi, eighth junior brother Feng Er, and ninth senior sister A Zi.
Ding Chunqiu didn't care about the sect's affairs, but he set the rules. When the disciples of the True Transmission reach the age of sixteen, they must participate in the Martial Arts Conference, hold the ring, and accept the challenge of the inner disciples. Then there is the ranking battle, the higher the status, the greater the power, for example, Pan Dao, as the senior brother, he has the status of the general of the Western Xia Kingdom, and Ding Yiyun, as the second senior brother, is older than Pan Dao, but he also controls all the rights of the Star Sect.
However, the ranking battle is more dangerous, and it is easy to die, who will put a more threatening person behind him. Therefore, the true transmission is not fixed every year, and Ding Chunqiu's move not only solves the stability of his status, but also improves the strength of the disciples in the sect to become stronger and stronger every time. But it also left hidden dangers, and there were many contradictions, intrigues, and ambitions abounded among the disciples. Ding Chunqiu didn't care, but the people below were scared, for fear that one day they would be calculated to die, and they didn't know how Lu Dao died.
The heroes of the northwest came one after another, and they didn't dare not come, Ding Chunqiu, the big devil, was too famous for killing, and his reputation was monstrous, once he went against his will, the sect would be destroyed, and his body would die. Fortunately, Ding Chunqiu usually doesn't care about them, and their development is not bad, as long as they listen to him, it doesn't matter if they come to go through the motions. Thinking about it, they were very wrong this time, Ding Chunqiu will let them stir up the storm here when he enters the Central Plains.
Ding Yiyun's figure was interspersed among the crowd, he politely invited all sects and factions in the northwest to say hello and contact feelings, and expressed a warm welcome to their arrival.
Ling Qing, Yun Ting, and other juniors and disciples are also familiar with everyone, they are all winning the favor of everyone, and if they want to gain their support, only if all the sects in the northwest agree, they can have more right to speak.
It's like an alternative election, the difference is that they don't have to work for the benefit of the factions, but the factions don't dare to offend, and if one of them becomes the head of the stars one day, then it will be fatal.
Pan Dao stayed in his little bamboo hut and ignored these people, for him it was soy sauce. The innate gong runs every day, and the internal qi is warm and walking in the meridians of the whole body, and he is still practicing.
Ding Chunqiu went out again, his momentum was undisguised, and the ambition of the startled Northwest group trembled. Ah Zi is also out of the customs, she has developed more perfectly than before, her figure is beginning to be revealed, and practicing poison makes her grow faster, but this is also an overdraft of vitality. She glanced at Xiao Ding, who was emitting five-colored smoke, her eyes were full of longing, it was Ding Chunqiu's baby, Shenmu Wang Ding.
The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, and the warriors are guarding the four directions. The wolves in the northwest showed their glory, and the war was directed at the Central Plains. "The supreme glory needs you and me to create, and today the old man took the opportunity of the martial arts conference to tell everyone one thing. Ding Chunqiu's voice spread throughout the audience, shaking the wind and clouds.
