Chapter 80 Thank you for your kindness, the man is haggard
It was daytime at this time, and there were dozens of candles in the inner hall. The light was very bright.
The expressions on the faces of Ren Woxing and Zhuo Lingfeng were clearly illuminated. One had a solemn expression and the other had a faint smile.
Ren Yingying stared at the shaking candlelight and remained silent.
When Ren Woxing called out the three words "Zhuo Lingfeng", everyone knew what he was going to ask, which would be absolutely earth-shattering.
Ren Woxing suddenly smiled and said, "Have you already made plans with Shaolin Wudang?"
Ren Yingying breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She was afraid that her father would say something crazy that would seriously disgrace her.
Zhuo Lingfeng didn't expect that Ren Woxing could even guess this, but he was open-minded and said without hesitation: "Not bad!
I have reached a consensus with the leaders of the two Shaolin and Wudang factions.
After all, Mr. Ren also said that restoring peace to the martial arts world cannot be accomplished by one person!"
Ren Woxing burst into laughter and said: "So, Ren really has no eyesight!
To tell you the truth, without Shaolin Wudang’s nod to what you are thinking, everything you are doing now would actually be a joke.
But you are very knowledgeable, so I would not have thought of this. If you pretend to be pretentious in front of me, I will look down on you."
Zhuo Lingfeng smiled and said nothing, thinking: "You should say that you will kill me in the future!"
Ren Woxing's face became serious and he said: "Although Ren has not been around in the world for many years, he does know a little bit about the famous figures in the world.
Hehe, in today's world, there are either fake Taoism or hypocrites, or narrow-minded black-eyed chickens who are not keen on doing business, but spare no effort to join the party and oppose those who are different. It can be said that the current structure of the world is due to these people.
As the saying goes: If you try to smelt copper without hitting the clock, you are a bit stupid!"
When Ren Yingying heard this, her heart was beating fast. She didn't know whether she was afraid of offending Zhuo Lingfeng, or she hoped that he would agree.
Because my father said, "If you don't beat the clock now, go and smelt copper." This is a real solicitation.
Where is the ready-made "clock"? Isn't it right here?
Zhuo Lingfeng was very calm, drank the wine in one gulp, and said: "Mr. Ren has extraordinary knowledge, I admire you.
But I would like to ask, since ancient times, why have there been distinctions between good and evil?"
Ren Woxing was stunned for a moment.
Ren Yingying blurted out: "If you come from the Quanzhen Sect, you are righteous, and if I come from the Sun Moon God Sect, you are evil."
Ren Woxing said: "I would like to hear its good fortune."
Zhuo Lingfeng smiled and said: "What Miss Ren said is just common people's opinion!
It’s not for my Quanzhen way, and it’s not what Zhuo wants, otherwise the three of you and I wouldn’t have the chance to exchange cups here.”
Ren Woxing nodded, he already knew what his daughter said was wrong.
Ren Yingying snorted and thought: "I don't know if this is common people's opinion? But it is the consensus of the world!"
Zhuo Lingfeng knew that she was slandering him, but he didn't care, and continued: "The difference between good and evil is not judged by family background, but by their specific behaviors.
If what you do is good for most people, it is righteous; if you do harm to most people, it is evil!
Take the Songshan Sect’s desire to merge the Five Sacred Sects as an example. Shaolin proves that Wudang Chongxu is not like the non-abideence and non-attachment required by Buddhism and Taoism. Everything is not lingering in the mind, nor is it what the world sees.
Highly respected.
But no matter how inappropriate Shaolin Wudang’s actions are, he will never do anything to dominate the world.
They and I want to prevent the merger of the Five Sacred Mountains, and the starting point is to save tens of millions of people in the world from misfortune. There is no doubt about this purpose.
This protects the interests of the vast majority of people, and what you do is the right way.
Zuo Lengchan's move to merge the sects is hard to say whether it is right or wrong, but what he wants is to conquer the martial arts world and dominate the martial arts world.
This is only good for him and the Songshan sect, but it makes the rivers and lakes bleed. This is evil!
Another example is that the Sun and Moon God Sect wants to dominate the world for thousands of years, in order to satisfy their personal desires and put thousands of lives at risk.
Compared with the entire martial arts community, people like Zuo Lengchan and Dongfang Bubai are only a small group of people.
The difference between good and evil lies here!"
Since Ren Yingying was born, no one had ever told her these truths. She was overwhelmed with thoughts and was stunned.
Ren Woxing stretched out his fingers and tapped lightly on the table, and said leisurely: "But in this world, some people are as old as before, and some are as old as new. How do you know that you recognize someone truly?"
Zhuo Lingfeng said quietly: "Mr. Ren is right.
The human heart is indeed separated from the belly.
But sometimes it is dangerous to mountains and rivers, and sometimes it is like a bay of shallow water, so clear that you can see the bottom at a glance.
That's why I am so impressed by Mr. Ren's character and demeanor that I am willing to enter into an alliance with you.
If you can personally hear in the future that the leader of the sect clearly distinguishes punishments and rewards, punishes the scum in the sect, and rewards those who benefit the people.
Zhuo is too young and ignorant to say where your teaching will go in the future, but the heroes of the world will have their say!
At that time, who will dare to say that your religion is a ‘devil’?
Even if the word 'evil' comes out of my mouth, I'm afraid it will rarely end.
No matter what sect or sect, all the ambitious people in this world will probably be proud to join the Sun and Moon Sect.
What kind of situation that would be, can Leader Ren imagine?"
Ren Woxing also understood what he meant.
The current Sun Moon God Sect cannot recruit him.
Zhuo Lingfeng poured a glass of wine, drank it down in one gulp, stood up and cupped his hands and said: "You two, after I finish taking care of the affairs of the Songshan Sect, we will get together on a day to discuss the matter of Dongfang Invincible.
Now that I've had enough wine and food, I'll take my leave now.
See you later!”
Ren Woxing and his daughter stood up, and Ren Yingying whispered: "Brother Zhuo saved my father from trouble. My little sister felt the same and agreed to help. She was even more grateful. Why don't Brother Zhuo stay a few more days so that my little sister can help him?"
Sister, I need to learn more."
Zhuo Lingfeng's eyes flashed and he said: "Miss Ren is exaggerating. Mr. Ren is ten times more intelligent than me. How dare I try to do whatever I want? Now I have important matters and I really can't stay any longer. Please forgive me!"
As he said that, he turned around and took a long step forward.
Ren Yingying started to speak but stopped.
Ren Woxing glanced at his daughter, coughed slightly, and said: "Master Zhuo, is there nothing worthy of you joining the Sun and Moon God Sect at this moment?"
Zhuo Lingfeng couldn't help but tremble.
Ren Yingying understood the meaning of her father's words in an instant and said angrily: "Dad, could it be that you were knocked unconscious by someone? Why are you talking so confusingly?"
Zhuo Lingfeng didn't say anything, he just opened the door and walked out.
Ren Woxing slowly sat down, seemingly not noticing when his daughter disappeared.
Zhuo Lingfeng left the inner hall and just walked to a large patio.
An old plum tree was planted on the left and right sides of the patio, with branches as strong as iron. Suddenly a figure flashed, and Ren Yingying emerged from the plum tree on the left.
Zhuo Lingfeng couldn't force himself to walk, so he could only stop and asked: "Girl, you are blocking the way. What do you think?"
Ren Yingying clasped her hands behind her back, took a step forward, with a tight face, and said coldly: "My father wholeheartedly invites you to join the cult, how can you teach him a lesson?"
Zhuo Lingfeng had drunk a lot of wine and was a little tipsy. When he saw her, she became even more charming and charming. He thought to himself: "No wonder Linghu Chong in the original trajectory was willing to live in seclusion with her in Meizhuang.
Ask about the world!"
When I think about this, I feel as if there is a stone lying across my heart, heavy and extremely depressed.
He somewhat understood that if he met beautiful women like Yue Lingshan, Yi Lin, and Ren Yingying in his previous life, he would definitely pursue them if he had even the slightest chance.
But in this world, why is it so difficult to think about them?
This is not just because I have practiced Taoist internal skills and my concentration has greatly increased. Part of the reason is that I have the advantage of foresight. I always feel that these women are too entangled with Linghu Chong in the original trajectory. I have an unspeakable feeling in my heart. In short, it is very
uncomfortable.
At this moment, I understood why Wang Chongyang clearly liked Lin Chaoying but was not with her.
Because he also has something in his heart.
Of course, people have disputes over martial arts concepts, and this "third party" is stuck in their hearts, making them irreconcilable.
And I am much the same as him. He is blocked by a "third party" in his heart, making it difficult for him to understand his thoughts.
While lost in thought, Zhuo Lingfeng seemed to be able to see the future between himself and Ren Yingying, and let out a faint sigh.
Ren Yingying saw Zhuo Lingfeng's entranced expression, but she didn't know what he was thinking. She couldn't help but feel that he was attracted by her, and she felt very sweet in her heart.
The cold look he pretended to have had long ago turned into a begonia color. Unknowingly, the two hands behind his back were tightly entwined. He said again: "Although you promised to help my father deal with Dongfang Bubai, you are like this
To my father, I don’t appreciate you either.”
Zhuo Lingfeng said: "What I do is just for my own peace of mind, and I don't need gratitude from others."
Ren Yingying's heart sank, and a sour heat rushed straight to her nose, but she suppressed it and said calmly: "Have you been called a hero by someone's words and you don't know how much you weigh?"
Zhuo Lingfeng said coldly: "I never think of myself as a chivalrous person. Whether others call me a young warrior or a great warrior, it is the same as calling me father, leader, sir."
Ren Yingying said: "Since you decided to help, why can't you stay a little longer."
Zhuo Lingfeng saw that there seemed to be endless confusion in her eyes. His heart was slightly confused, and he said steadily: "I have a promise to you. A man, you can't just say it!"
Ren Yingying smiled and said, "You must leave?"
Zhuo Lingfeng said slowly: "We must go!"
But as soon as these words came out of his mouth, he felt a twitch deep in his heart. People who have never experienced love will not understand that feeling.
Ren Yingying leaned to one side and said: "Please!"
Zhuo Lingfeng cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much."
His voice trembled slightly, and he walked out.
Seeing Zhuo Lingfeng's back disappearing, Ren Yingying and the others couldn't hold back their tears anymore and sobbed slightly.
"My dear daughter, there are many good men in the world, so why should you shed tears because of him?"
Ren Yingying turned her head sideways and saw her father coming behind her at some point. She smiled and said: "I just want him to help dad. If he doesn't leave an accurate message, I'm afraid that he won't be found. How can I get hurt because of him?"
Sad and crying!”
Seeing her forced smile, Ren Woxing couldn't help but feel pain in his heart. After these few days, he had long known that the apple of his eye had indeed the ability to share his worries. But he didn't mean what he said.
Zhuo Lingfeng made an appointment with the Songshan Sect on the Double Ninth Festival, and everyone in the world knew about it.
If he is not dead, he must come in person, so why bother to ask for accurate information?
Ren Woxing smiled slightly and said: "You may think Zhuo Lingfeng is good in everything now, but when you really get married and have children, you will sneer at the pleasures, grudges, and ambitions in the world.
Someone like him is not a good match!"
Ren Yingying blushed when her father suddenly talked about getting married: "I never thought about getting married."
Seeing her twitchy expression, Ren Woxing couldn't help but laugh: "You are a little girl, how can you hide this from your father and me?!"
As he spoke, his expression changed, and he said coldly: "If Zhuo Lingfeng comes back at this time, bows down to me, and calls me father-in-law, should you call me my father-in-law?"
Ren Yingying's heart suddenly shook several times. If this is true, her face turned red for a moment and she argued: "Daddy is making fun of me again. If this is true, kick him out and tell him to get out of here!"
"
Although her words were vulgar, her tone was full of tenderness and warmth, and she was truly charming and charming.
Ren Woxing didn't know that his daughter had a deep love for Zhuo Lingfeng. His cold face suddenly turned and he said softly: "It's natural for a girl to like someone, especially a brilliant person like Zhuo Lingfeng."
, there are only you and me, father and daughter, so there’s nothing to be embarrassed about.”
When Ren Yingying saw her father clearly stating what she was thinking, and then thought about Zhuo Lingfeng's attitude towards her, she couldn't help but feel sad, and sighed: "But I think he likes Yue Buqun's daughter, but he doesn't like me."
When Ren Woxing heard the words, he turned his eyes strangely and said, "Who is Yue Buqun? Is his daughter worthy of being compared with my precious daughter?"
He gently stretched out his hand, touched Ren Yingying's head with pity, and said in a gentle tone: "Good daughter, you are so smart and beautiful, what man in the world can not like you?"
Although as a father, I cannot say for sure that he will be able to be with you, but he must be attracted to you!
You are not good at martial arts, so you may not have noticed. I just said, "Is there anything in the Sun and Moon God Sect that makes him worthy of joining?" His body trembled slightly.
For a martial arts master like him, it would be difficult to make him tremble even if he hits several thunderbolts in his ear.
It shows that he knew what I was talking about before you opened your mouth.
It’s just that I feel like he seems to have something unspeakable, and it’s definitely not what you think he likes.”
Ren Yingying thought of the scene just now and muttered: "Dad, you said he likes me but doesn't like Yue Lingshan?"
I heard a clear accent from behind: "Miss, you are worrying too much!"
Ren Yingying was shocked. She turned around and saw someone standing about ten feet away.
The person who came here has a thin and well-proportioned figure, a clear face, and shining eyes. He has a sparse and long gray beard under his chin, which hangs on his chest. He has a capable and strong look. He is dressed in white and has a package tied behind his back. He can't hide his power.
spirit,
When Ren Yingying saw it, she said happily: "Uncle Xiang!".
The visitor clasped his hands into fists and bowed to the ground: "My subordinate, Xiang Wentian, meets the leader!"
This was the arrival of Xiang Wentian, the Right Envoy of Light from the Sun and Moon God Sect.
Ren Woxing burst into laughter, stepped forward to push Xiang Wentian's hands, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiang, there is no need to be polite.
You are safe and sound, which makes me even more happy to be out of trouble! Haha! Haha!"
His hands were shaking, and his joy was sincere.
The two of them walked hand in hand to the inner hall.
Let me go down and give orders to organize the banquet.
Only then did the Four Friends of Jiangnan and Sang Sanniang realize that someone had trespassed in, and they all bowed to Ren Wo Xing to apologize.
Ren Woxingdao: "Brother Xiang has outstanding martial arts. This is what should be done. What's the crime?"
Xiang Wentian smiled and said: "Four village owners, this is our first meeting, and I have brought you a gift."
As he spoke, he opened the bag, took out something, handed it to Huang Zhonggong and said, "This is the piano score of "Guangling San"!"
Then he said to Black and White: "Here is Liu Zhongfu's chess record of vomiting blood!"
He took out another object and gave it to the Bald Pen Man, saying, "This is a sincere note made by Zhang Xu, a famous calligrapher of the Tang Dynasty!"
Zhang Xu is known as the "Sage of Cao". He likes to drink. He often runs wild while shouting when he is drunk, and then writes wild cursive works with his pen.
Then he handed the last thing to Dan Qingsheng and said: "This is Fan Kuande's "Traveling in Streams and Mountains".
Leader Ren has been cared for by these four people for many years, so I would like to express my respect."
The four friends from Jiangnan all stared blankly, and couldn't put it down for a while. If Ren Woxing hadn't been there, they would have lost their composure.
Ren Woxing said: "Okay, you guys who are worthless, please go down! Don't miss my and Brother Xiang's pleasure!"
The Four Friends of Jiangnan and Sang Sanniang naturally withdrew.
After the servants set the banquet table again, the three of them sat down.
Ren Woxing said with a smile: "Brother Xiang, you were wronged by the surname Ren back then. I'm so sorry, haha, haha!"
Xiang Wentian stood up quickly and said: "Leader, I am ashamed of my subordinates!"
Ren Woxing waved his hand and said: "Sit down, my brother, sit down and say."
Ren Yingying vaguely understood why her father said this, but she couldn't fully understand it.
Ren Woxing looked at Ren Yingying, sighed, and said: "Back then, you gave me several pieces of advice to my uncle, telling me to be wary of Dongfang Bubai, but I trusted that guy too much. The words of advice went against my ears, so I blamed you for telling me to be wary of Dongfang Bubai. The uncle was jealous and accused him of stirring up trouble and causing trouble.
So much so that you ran away from your uncle in anger, flew away, and never saw each other again."
Xiang Wentian shook his head and said: "I don't dare to have any grudges against the leader. I just see that the situation is not right. Dongfang Bubai is well-arranged and an attack is imminent. If I follow the leader by his side, I will not be attacked by him first." No poisonous hands.
Although he was martyred for our religion and it was his duty to do so, after thinking it over, I finally felt that it was better to avoid him first.
If the leader can understand his treacherous intentions and prevent him from succeeding in his conspiracy, it will be a blessing. Otherwise, if his subordinate is away from home, he can at least be restrained from being too presumptuous."
Ren Yingying also said: "Yes, Dad, Uncle Xiang has been in contact with me for many years, secretly inquiring about your whereabouts!"
Xiang Wentian said: "Twelve years ago, the leader disappeared mysteriously, and Dongfang Bubai usurped the throne. Something happened to my governor, so I could only tolerate it and deal with Dongfang Bubai.
It wasn't until recently that I found out where the leader was imprisoned, and I came to help the leader escape. Little did I know that Dongfang Bubai sent a large group of people to chase me as soon as I got to Heimu Cliff, which wasted time. Fortunately, the leader I am truly out of trouble, I am truly blessed!"
He never mentioned the danger he was in, nor did he mention the gifts he prepared for his four friends in the south of the Yangtze River, all for the purpose of saving Ren Woxing.
But Ren Woxing understood everything from the expressions of the four Jiangnan friends.
Xiang Wentian was obviously ready to give in to someone else's favor and come to rescue him. He was very happy and said with a smile: "It's only my fault that I didn't understand Brother Xiang's painstaking efforts back then, so you suffered a great injustice.
Come, let me toast you and apologize."
Xiang Wentian raised his glass and said with a smile: "The leader's words are serious!"
Let me drink it all in one gulp.
After Xiang Wentian expressed his loyalty to Ren Woxing, he asked Ren Woxing how to get out of trouble. Hearing that Zhuo Lingfeng failed to be won over to join the religion, Xiang Wentian couldn't help but sigh.
But then he said: "On the way, I heard from a group of bastards in the orthodox religion that the holy aunt is very close to the 'Zhongnan Yifeng' who is popular in the martial arts world today, and they didn't mention that he helped the leader out of trouble.
With only the lives of four elders and dozens of experts in our sect, there is no reason to let Dongfang Bubai go!
No matter how good Zhuo Lingfeng’s martial arts is, his life may not be easy!”
The implication is that sooner or later he will have to join the forces.
Ren Yingying suddenly said: "Uncle Xiang, you just said that I worry too much. What do you mean?"
She knew the importance of things. When Xiang Wentian first arrived, she wanted to ask, but it was not the right time to ask. After hearing this, she could no longer hold back.
Xiang Wentian and Ren Woxing looked at each other and smiled, and said: "The eldest lady has been with the leader these days. I'm afraid she didn't hear about the two daughters of Huashan Mountain fighting for their husbands and the blood splattering on Jade Girl Peak."
Ren Yingying was stunned and said: "Why are two women fighting for their husbands?"
Xiang Wentian did not give in and said: "A month ago, Zhuo Lingfeng and the Huashan Sword Sect Feng Buping went to Huashan and settled the long-lasting sword energy dispute smoothly.
But as soon as he left, the 'Six Immortals of Peach Valley' came up again and wanted to take Linghu Chong, the great disciple of Huashan, away by force!"
Having said this, he drank a glass of wine and continued: "These six people are not weak in martial arts, but they are all fools. How could Yue Buqun and his wife watch them take away their apprentice, and the two sides fought fiercely.
Fortunately, Linghu Chong was smart and stabilized the six of them, and then they realized that they were going to take him to see a little nun from the Hengshan sect.
But before the matter was settled, a crazy monk named Bujie came directly to Linghu Chong with his nun's daughter, saying that his daughter would not be able to live without him and that he must be his son-in-law.
How could this be done? A few words were wrong. Yue Buqun and his wife, the disciples of the Huashan Sect, the monk Bujie, and the Six Immortals of Peach Valley took action, and several of the disciples were injured.
That Linghu Chong is also a well-known good man in the world, so he would rather die than obey, so he put the long sword on his neck and said that if the monk forced him again, he would kill himself with the sword!"
Ren Yingying felt as if she had been hit hard on the chest, and her face instantly turned pale.
Xiang Wentian didn't realize it, and said to himself: "Then Yue Lingshan also said immediately: 'Elder brother and I were childhood sweethearts, is there any reason in this world to force people to marry?'
Monk Bujie had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and said he was willing to let his daughter be Linghu Chong's second wife!
Linghu Chong said, 'I only like my junior sister in my life, even if all the women in the world are not even as good as my junior sister!'..."
Suddenly, Ren Yingying heard a cry, and beads of sweat broke out on her forehead.
Ren Woxing grabbed his daughter's arm, felt for her pulse, frowned and said, "Daughter, what's wrong with you?
Xiang Wentian was puzzled and stopped talking.
Ren Yingying didn't know what was going on with her. When she heard this, she was shocked deep in her heart. Suddenly her throat was choked and her breathing was difficult. She gasped: "Uncle Xiang, please continue... say, I don't... I
fine."
She herself could tell that her voice was dry and it almost didn't sound like she was speaking.
My heart was even more empty, as if I had lost something very precious.
I felt so many things for a moment, but I was at a loss as to what it was about. I couldn't help but think to myself: "Am I brainwashed by Zhuo Lingfeng's words?"
People like Xiang Wentian and Ren Woxing were aware of her abnormality, but they also knew that the other party had no friendship with these people. Why? It was simply strange.
Xiang Wentian looked at Ren Woxing, who nodded.
Xiang Wentian then said: "Linghu Chong taught the great monk another lesson, saying, 'Don't mention the talk of two women serving one husband again, so as not to damage the relationship between Huashan and the Hengshan sect.'"
His attitude was so decisive that his neck bled, and the little nun had no choice but to drag her father and the Six Immortals of Peach Valley down to Huashan Mountain in tears.
After this incident, the six mouths of the Six Immortals of Peach Valley were able to hold up to sixty mouths. Within a few days, it was known to the whole world that Linghu Chong loved his little junior sister, and he risked his own life to protect the reputation of Huashan Mountain.
Someone like Mr. Yue spread the word and appointed Linghu Chong as the chief disciple of the sect, and also arranged a marriage date for him and his daughter.
Miss, tell me, once this incident comes out, will Zhuo Lingfeng be able to go to Huashan to steal a bride because of his great reputation?"
Ren Yingying was in a daze and said nothing.
Ren Woxing really couldn't understand his daughter, so he said: "Daughter, you are confusing my father!"
Ren Yingying murmured: "Dad, I want to be quiet."
Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian had no choice but to stand up and walk out slowly.
…
On the official road outside Fuzhou City, a man in green clothes was riding a horse with a long sword in his hand. There were many thoughts on his brow, as if he had endless sorrow.
This man was none other than Zhuo Lingfeng. He came out of Meizhuang, rode a horse, and came all the way south.
His mood was also hard to describe. Sometimes he would gallop wildly and sometimes drink alcohol, as if this could make his heart feel better.
But after walking for several days, I still felt very uncomfortable.
He suddenly realized that there really is no such thing as the best of both worlds in this world. It really has nothing to do with personal ability!
That day, as he was about to enter Fuzhou City, he dropped the last drop of wine from the wine jar into his mouth, raised his hand with one hand, and threw the wine jar on the roadside.
Suddenly hearing the sound of weapons clashing in front of him, Zhuo Lingfeng was curious and turned around a forest.
I saw several figures fighting in a melee, and the clanging sound of swords was heard from time to time.
Zhuo Lingfeng only glanced at it and couldn't help being shocked. He secretly asked in surprise: "Quan Zhen Sword Technique?"
I saw some people guarding in front of a cave, and seven or eight people were stacking firewood at the entrance of the cave.
A masked man sneered: "If you don't come out, I'm going to set fire to it."
Thanks to the book friends who finally have time for the tip.
