875: Sword God Theseus
Located in the most dense mountain forest in the British landscape, there is a wooden house and a hundred gardens on all sides.
It's hard to believe that a Western world can have buildings that pay attention to Chinese feng shui specifications.
Those who don't know think that there is a Chinese living here, but the owner who gets up before dawn every day is an authentic British man with a white beard and blue eyes.
He closed his eyes under the peach blossom forest and basked in the mild morning sun, and the rain and dew fell on his cheeks, unmoved.
This person is the fencing master Xius, who rose to the top of the five legends at a young age.
The door of the hut opened, and out came an old man of the same age, an old European.
Dressed in a papal white robe, he walked down the stairs with his waist stretched.
Hughes turned his back to him and sneered: "The assistant doesn't support him, and he is not afraid to take the stairs and flash his waist." ”
"If you come here and bring an assistant, then I can pretend to be big." The white-robed old man in the Holy See with a little bald head smiled as he went downstairs.
"If you let your followers know that you're in trouble with me, won't you spray me to death?"
"Okay, don't you just want to laugh at my legs, it's not that I've regressed, it's that I'm in a different position from you, I have something to do every day, and I have to take care of a country." The white-robed old man said.
Hughes sneered: "Just your small Vatican country? If you don't take care of it, it won't be chaotic, even if there is a riot in the whole of Europe, it will not affect there, it is the last pure land of faith for Westerners in Europe, and it is not necessary for you to watch it every day. ”
The white-robed old man pouted: "This is also true, but I heard that there is an organization that is very mysterious recently, but I like their character." ”
Theseus: "Stranger? ”
The white robe smiled slightly: "You also heard?" ”
Hughes turned his head to look at the old friend and asked suspiciously, "You want to influence them?" ”
White Robe: "Don't you think that if I do this, I will appear greater?" ”
Theseus: "Don't waste your time, you can't influence them, just like you can't influence me." ”
"Not necessarily, it's just that those mercenaries who are inhumane war thugs don't want to listen to a few 'scriptures' from me when they see me, since even they have a bottom line of faith in their hearts, I think these strangers can still fight for it, and the most troublesome organization in the world seems to be them."
Theseus smirked: "Why don't you say it's Freemasonry?" ”
White robe: "People just make money." ”
Hughes: "How many bones are behind this money, that is, how many wars did Nachild instigate and promote in order to get rich?" Even now, there are so many people who seek money and kill people, this money is the source of evil, why don't you see you, the sect leader, to influence the banknotes? ”
Hughes paced in the courtyard and shook his head and smiled: "You're right, those war thugs may still have a trace of bottom-line faith in their hearts, at least they know how to protect their families and children before they have to carry guns to resist, but do you believe it or not, those capitalists who respect you on the surface can stab you in the back?" Strangers like this, to be honest, I don't want you to influence them, and you can't influence them, just like you can't influence me. ”
White robe: "You are different, you have a resentment in your heart that you can't let go, this resentment is all over your brain, so you give up the troubles of the world, and only want to avenge your defeat again, people like you are the most difficult one I have ever encountered, if a person wants to blacken, God can't save him!" This is also the reason why my strength is getting worse and can't catch up with you, it's not that I'm lazy, it's that you're too ruthless to yourself, in this era, who still uses knives and guns? ”
"I don't call this resentment, I call it ideal." Xiusi said: "Otherwise, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today, I just don't know what happened to the guy who defeated me back then." ”
"Your ideal is terrible, to be honest, I used to always instill chicken soup for the soul in people, saying that 'there is nothing that a person can't do if he is cruel to himself', but after seeing you, I feel that my chicken soup for the soul is going to become 'poisonous chicken soup', because this person will take shortcuts in order to succeed."
Hughes was noncommittal, and as he walked, he picked up a stick of wood and whipped it at a thick bamboo.
Boom!
The dry wooden strip did not break, but the thick green and straight bamboo suddenly broke.
"Not bad." The white robe exclaimed: "This is what you call the unity of man and sword? ”
Xius nodded: "My fencing skills are really wrong, I couldn't live back then, after meeting that man and being defeated, I was humiliated by him, saying that my swordsmanship can't even compare to the kind of garbage kendo in the East, let alone insult swordsmanship, I'm not angry that I was defeated, but that he humiliated my way!" ”
Bai Robe: "But in the end, you still went to Huaguo to steal a lot of swordsmanship, even the swordsmanship of the Oriental Wa Kingdom you haven't stolen less, I'm afraid no one knows that those lost masteries are here with you, right?" ”
Hughes didn't feel like he was wrong at all.
"I just used it for reference, but that bastard was right, my swordsmanship was indeed a sideshow, and I was called the number one kendo master in the United Kingdom in vain. I've been wearing this name for decades, and every time I hear it, I feel ashamed, so, in order to deserve it, I've lived here in seclusion all my life to practice my kendo, but alas, that bastard is nowhere to be found, and I've asked MI6 agents to help me investigate and find him all these years, and there has been no news. ”
Speaking of this, Theseus lifted the wooden stick in his hand and said: "The unity of man and sword, even he couldn't reach this realm back then." ”
The old man in the white robe: "You can't remember his name, do you?" ”
"How could I forget?" He said hatefully: "Back then, our Eight-Nation Alliance Army invaded their imperial city, and their Ouchi guards were defeated by me one after another, and at this time a person stood up, his name was Zhang Chenfeng. At that time, I was already a legendary grandmaster, and I was almost invincible at that time, and my fencing skills were even ashamed of myself as the Dongying warriors at that time, and at that time, Zhang Chenfeng defeated me in front of the Eight Kingdoms within a hundred moves above the imperial palace, so that I didn't come out again to be embarrassed, and I have forgotten this for decades. ”
"If he is the same age as you, maybe he is dead, you are almost a hundred years old, your eyes are closed, you are in the ground, you have to keep such a heavy obsession, why bother?"
Hughes did not speak, threw the stick, and went into his cabin with his hands behind his back.
This is a person who is obsessed and resentful.
"So I can't really influence you." The old man muttered behind his back.
