Chapter 737: Rules
What are the rules of the rivers and lakes, the old man Mu and the slaughtering dog have completely different views.
"You give a step, I give a step, both sides have their own gains, this is the rule of the rivers and lakes. ”
"Hey,, you give way, what if I catch up? How do you know I'm going to give in like you?"
"It doesn't matter, the rules are not a matter between two people, they need to be maintained by the entire rivers and lakes, if you break the rules, you will not be able to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes, everyone looks down on you and attacks them in groups. ”
"Hehe, do you think I haven't been besieged? Look at me now, I'm still alive and well, look at you, I've been following the rules for so many years, and I've been managed like a dog by your sister. By the way, what about your dog butcher's knife back then? Why don't you use it?"
"Senior sister said that the murderous spirit of the elders of the famous family should not be too heavy, so we abandon the sword and use the staff, as for the advantage of abiding by the rules, that is, when you are in trouble, there will be many people and even strangers to help you, unlike you, except for the Dragon King, no one will take you in. ”
"Take me in? You said that the dragon king took me in? The dragon king, tell him, did the old man help you a lot? I stayed here because the dragon king was eager to seek talent, and the Dubu king cried and shouted to win me over, but I sternly refused......
Tu Gou smiled and said nothing, although he is not good at making ideas, people are not stupid, when the old man Mu is miraculous, maybe there are heroes who will rush to buy him, and now there are only six or seven successful forces left to become ordinary masters, and only the Dragon King will take it seriously.
Gu Shenwei only brought a dozen people, in the empty palace, like a group of impolite ghosts, the quarrel between the old man and the slaughtering dog added a little vitality to the place.
He didn't interject, he also had his own opinion on the so-called rules of the rivers and lakes, the killer's pursuit is to bypass the rules and give the master a fatal blow, which is somewhat similar to the old man Mu, but the killer can't pursue personal fame, and it is the norm to retire and be obscure.
He is no longer a killer, and he still can't get rid of the killer's habit of thinking.
"What are the rules of the rivers and lakes in Beiting?" Gu Shenwei asked Mo Lin beside him.
Mo Lin doesn't seem to be willing to speak, he has traveled through the rivers and lakes, and has achieved a lot of success, but he doesn't have much nostalgia for that experience, "It's similar to the Central Plains, Beiting people like to talk big, but they have become friends." ”
"Hey, the Central Plains people are actually like this. Tu Gou's eyes widened in surprise, surprised by this similar surname, "But according to my observation, it is better for others to say it for themselves, and the less the relationship on the surface, the better, for example, if the apprentice praises the master, it is not as good as the disciples of other sects to say a few words once in a while." ”
"Hypocrisy, what a hypocrisy. Old man Mu was indignant, he has always regarded himself as the number one villain in the world, and he can't stand that there are people who are more shameless than himself.
"Is this called hypocrisy?" Tu Gou thought seriously for a while, "What is good for both parties can't be considered hypocrisy." ”
"Count, as long as you don't mean it, it's hypocrisy. The old man Mu was convincing.
"You mean to tell the truth in any situation, right?"
"Of course, the old man ...... Don't lie much, hate whoever likes it and say it all. ”
"For example, I think this palace is ghostly, it's really a bit scary, I really don't want to go inside, but I have to say it bluntly?"
"Well, I should say it, I also think it's a little weird, Dragon King, don't you particularly like to come out at night to do things?
Gu Shenwei didn't answer, he likes the night, it gives the enemy a chance, but leaves him more room to play.
Tu Gou was still thinking about the topic of "hypocrisy", and pondered for a moment, "Another example is that you like that Han Wuxian a lot, but you always quarrel with her, is this hypocrisy?"
"No!" the old man stood on horseback, angry, "Who said I liked that crazy woman? I just slept together back then, and I would eat back grass......?"
"Hypocrisy. Tu Gou nodded seriously, as if he finally understood the meaning of this word, and suddenly straightened up and looked around a few times, "I don't know what the rules are here, but we seem to be surrounded, none of you squeak, didn't see it or weren't afraid?"
"Of course not afraid. The old man jumped out of his horse and said loudly: "The Dragon King of the Western Regions is here, and the sneaky rabbit cubs will get out and kowtow to me!"
Tu Gou's face was happy, and he whispered to the Dragon King: "It turns out that the rules of the Western Regions are also like this, look, Old Man Mu is talking big for the Dragon King, but if it is in the Central Plains, we will never say anything like 'rabbit cub', what if the other party is very big?"
In the darkness, there were at least a hundred people scattered around, forming a simple encirclement.
A loud voice came from the opposite side: "The head of Qingcheng is here, why don't the Saiwaihu people get off their horses and surrender quickly?"
"You go in an inch, I go in a foot, the people of the Central Plains are unhappy, this is the result of unruliness. Tu Gou commented in a low voice, and then searched everywhere, "I don't know if the head of Qingcheng is surnamed Liu or Lu now." ”
The words of the slaughtering dog were all whispered, and the old man Mu was the opposite, "Which Qingcheng master, is the fight in your nest over?"
A small group of people came from the opposite side, stopped more than ten steps away, and dozens of torches suddenly lit up around them at the same time, and one of them was a middle-aged swordsman with a long beard behind his back and said, "Liu Qingpu, the head of the Lower Qingcheng Sect. ”
Standing on the left side of Liu Qingpu was a tall and thin swordsman, a little younger than him, his face was red, and he was particularly eye-catching in the light of the fire, "Lu Mian, the head of Xia Qingcheng." ”
The old man laughed, fell off the horse with his stomach in his hand, and pointed at the red-faced swordsman, "Your surname is 'donkey', your name is actually 'face', haha, red-faced donkey, it's really rare." ”
Tu Gou pouted and shook his head in the back, obviously feeling that Old Man Mu's words were not in line with the rules at all.
Lu Mian on the other side really didn't have a good face, but it was not him who stood up to speak, but Deng Yuanlei beside him, "Old man Mu, Hugh is rude, and his verbal skills are not really good." ”
"Who said that? When I scold you speechless, you will know what the real ability is. Ahem, you ......".
"Old man wood, stand down. ”
Deng Yuanlei was humiliated in the Dragon King's military camp, obviously betrayed Liu Qingpu and took refuge in Lu Mian, there are a lot of things to say, the old man Mu was full of interest, and as soon as he started, he was stopped by the Dragon King.
The old man looked back at the dragon king in amazement, almost pleading, and finally led the horse back to its place in despair, turning his back to everyone, and sighed.
Mo Lin jumped off his horse and took a few steps, "Two Qingcheng heads, may I ask which one I should talk to first." ”
Everyone in the Qingcheng faction didn't squeak, but it was Tu Pianpian from the Kongtong faction who stood up, "I have something to say." His voice was so stern that he seemed to be teaching his disciples.
Tu Gou coughed awkwardly, suddenly jumped off the horse, stood with Old Man Mu, and turned his back to everyone.
Old Man Mu whispered, "Your short and fat sister is not very well-behaved. ”
"Well, she's an elder of the Kongtong Sect, so she can ...... A little out of line. Slaughter Dog said in a lower voice.
Mo Lin looked left and right, and said loudly: "You are from the Central Plains, but you went to the north court to make trouble, my king is magnanimous, and orders you to leave immediately and on your own, and you must not be disobeyed." ”
Everyone laughed, only the two Qingcheng heads looked cold, and Tu Pianpian said: "The Central Plains Wulin also gave you an order: hand over the head of the old Khan King and spare you from death." ”
This was a standard "rule-abiding" quarrel, although the tone of the two sides was strong, there was no personal insult, Gu Shenwei listened quietly, and found that this was very similar to the rules of the wandering swordsman in Biyu City.
A young Central Plains swordsman was bored, and shouted loudly when no one on either side spoke: "It's useless to talk nonsense, there are many of us, there are few of them, rush up, capture the dragon king alive, and the head will naturally be in hand." ”
Mo Lin sneered: "The Dragon King commanded thousands of troops and horses, and he thought that the Central Plains Martial Arts was the most disciplined and never relied on more for a living, so he personally took risks, and he couldn't think of it." ”
More than a dozen voices accused the Central Plains swordsman at the same time, and the swordsman was red-faced, slowly retreated, and never appeared again.
Tu Pianpian poked his cane on the ground, "Since the Dragon King came to meet as a person in the martial arts, let's compete in martial arts, the number of people is the same, and no one will take advantage." ”
Merlin shook his head, "The Dragon King is not here for a joust today. ”
"It's not a martial arts competition, are you here to entertain everyone?" Tu Pianpian twisted his wrist and walked a few inches into the ground with his crutches.
Tu Gou sighed lightly, "Senior sister's temper always doesn't change. ”
Old man Mu comforted: "Don't worry, your sister's appearance is a shield to block arrows, and no one will entertain her when the Dragon King entertains." ”
The two of them looked up and down angrily, and Mo Lin over there had already explained his intentions, "The Dragon King has already competed with Kongtong and Qingcheng, but he won at that time, and the Dragon King wants to know, this kind of competition has to be carried out several times, and he doesn't have time to accompany them one by one." ”
Tu Pianpian blushed, she was very unconvinced by the result of that competition, but she couldn't deny that she had indeed lost at that time, and her own brother was standing behind the Dragon King.
Liu Fangsheng has been staying by his father's side, his injuries are no longer hindered, he took a few steps forward, and after obtaining Tu Pianpian's acquiescence, he said: "We did lose the last competition, and the fault is not in Kongtong, it is our Qingcheng faction that the two juniors are not self-sufficient, and they were defeated by the Dragon King's sword, and they also affected the two elders of the Kongtong faction. ”
Tu Gou looked down at Old Man Mu and nodded appreciatively, "This is the real Central Plains rule." ”
Old man Mu cut disdainfully.
Liu Fangsheng's words flattered most people, claiming to be juniors, and he didn't lose much face to the Qingcheng faction, but at the same time, he secretly sarcastically mocked the betrayer Deng Yuanlei, "This time, the head of Qingcheng personally went into battle, representing the entire Qingcheng faction, whether he won or lost, it was the last time, as for the other sects, we can't be the master." ”
Tu Pianpian thinks very highly of himself, but he still respects the head of the faction, and immediately said loudly: "As long as it is in the Dragon Court, the Kongtong faction is willing to share the glory and disgrace with the Qingcheng faction." ”
As soon as she opened her mouth, the disciples of other sects expressed their positions one after another, there are more than a dozen Central Plains sects, large and small, but there is room for each party's words, and the clear location is limited to the Dragon Court, so as not to make people think that the status of this sect is lower than that of Qingcheng.
Merlin turned to look at the Dragon King, and nodded cautiously.
"Okay, the Dragon King has one more request. Mo Lin withdrew from the rivers and lakes because he was tired, but at this moment, he enjoyed the taste of the rivers and lakes a little, "He wants to see the skills of the head of Qingcheng first, if it is not much different from the previous two disciples, this martial arts will not be comparable." ”
This sentence aroused the anger of the public, and the people of the Central Plains reprimanded loudly, Liu Qingpu and Lu Mian glanced at each other and nodded at the same time.
Tu Pianpian said loudly: "Okay, let the Dragon King see the Qingcheng stunt and send someone out." ”
Old Man Mu was eager to try, turned his head and asked for battle, "Dragon King, do you want me to play?"
Gu Shenwei didn't want to use his martial arts, "You two, keep your eyes open, this is tonight's task." ”
Knowing each other and knowing himself, Gu Shenwei felt that he needed to understand what the real Central Plains supreme martial arts were like.
