Back in Changsha City, Zhonghua Bushi had already witnessed the power of Shuang Ji and had suffered a great loss from her. Unexpectedly, the same result would be the same when he returned to Yujing.
He knew that no matter how scheming he was, he would not get any favors, so he simply went straight to the point and said: "Miss Yiwen set up a clever trap to catch me. I don't know what she has learned. Isn't it just because she admires this young master?"
Zhuo Yiwen did not answer, but walked to the table, sat down on the chair opposite Hua Bushi, reached out, picked up the tea set on the table, and started making tea slowly.
She lit the fire and started boiling water in the small stove. She took out a small square box from her sleeve, opened the lid, and poured the tea leaves into the purple clay pot. She behaved calmly and elegantly.
Hua Bushi looked at Zhuo Yiwen's actions without saying a word[
After a while, the water was boiling. Zhuo Yiwen brewed the first cup of tea. She presented it to Hua Bushi with both hands and said, "I heard that Master Hua has been studying the tea ceremony carefully. Please comment on this cup of tea that Yiwen brewed."
Hua Bushi took the tea cup and first sniffed the aroma, then took a sip, then raised the cup and drank it. After a while, he said, "The bitter tea that Miss Yiwen brewed is from Fujian. It tastes bitter in the mouth but turns sweet in the mouth."
Zhuo Yiwen said: "Young Master Hua is indeed knowledgeable. This bitter tea is hard to swallow when you first enter it, but the taste is different after you change it. Isn't it true that everything in this world is like this? The choice you make at the beginning may not last long. After careful consideration, you may change your mind."
Hua Bushi frowned and said, "Miss Yiwen originally wanted to persuade me to change my mind."
Zhuo Yiwen said: "On that day in Changsha City, Yiwen invited Young Master Hua to join our Mi Tuo Pure Land Sect, but failed to get what she wanted. This time, Yiwen invited Young Master Hua here and just wanted to bring up the old things. I hope Young Master Hua can change his mind after thinking about it carefully. "
Hua Bushi said: "But I don't know whether it is the ancestor's order to persuade me to surrender or the girl's own intention."
Zhuo Yiwen said: "To be honest, the Holy Ancestor is not here at the moment. Our sect's affairs in Henan are all decided by Yiwen. It is really my selfishness to persuade Young Master Hua to join the sect. However, based on Young Master Hua's talents and the 'Evil Dog Gate' Yi Wen can guarantee that the Saint Ancestor will also welcome this festival due to his strength.”
Hua Bushi smiled casually and said: "Since I didn't agree back then, my thoughts now are no different from those back then. Why does Miss Yiwen think she can persuade this young master to change his mind?"
Zhuo Yiwen said: "Yiwen is clumsy with her tongue and knows that she doesn't have much persuasive power. But if you think about the benefits that you can get by joining our Pure Land Sect, Master Hua will not be dissatisfied."
Hua Bushi said: "Oh, that's interesting. I like doing business with people and negotiating terms, but I don't know what benefits Miss Yiwen can use to impress me."
Zhuo Yiwen said: "I know that Master Hua has great ambitions to build the 'Evil Dog Gate' into the largest Jianghu gang in the world today. With the help of our 'Mituo Pure Land Sect', this wish can be achieved within three years. This is what Yiwen said. One of the benefits”
Hua Bushi said: "Your demonic abilities are not small. If you say you can do this, it is somewhat possible. If this is one of the benefits, is there another benefit?"
Zhuo Yiwen said: "The second benefit should be more important to Mr. Hua. Yiwen heard that Mr. Hua suffers from the 'Qianyuan Juemai' disease and only has Yangshou in the third era. If you agree to join this sect, Yiwen can guarantee that you will be a good member of Hua." Master, please cure this disease.”
After hearing this, Hua Bushi was slightly startled and then shook his head and said: "The first condition you proposed is just fine. The second condition is too far-fetched. The 'Qianyuan Juemai' is a unique terminal disease in the world today." People can be cured. How can you make people believe it if you promise to cure me?"
Zhuo Yiwen said: "Our 'Mi Tuo Pure Land Sect' is an authentic sect of Buddhism. We have heaven and earth to protect our sect and our saintly ancestors are powerful enough to take over fortune and conquer ghosts and gods. Even if the 'Qianyuan Juemai' is a terminal disease, it is not difficult to cure it."
Hua Bushi laughed and said: "Miss Yiwen, I don't know something. This young master has never believed in ghosts and gods, but is used to seeing many people pretending to be gods. It would be unfair for me to try to persuade me with the talk of ghosts and gods."
Zhuo Yiwen said: "If Yiwen wants to convince Mr. Hua to join our sect, he must first make you believe in our sect's teachings. There is a clear evidence in front of him that proves that the lord of our sect has the power to conquer the world."
Hua Bushi said: "That's true, but I don't know what the proof is."
Zhuo Yiwen said: "Young Master Hua has been to the valley outside. It is called 'Mituo Valley' and it is one of the three holy places of our sect. The valley is like spring all year round and the scenery is picturesque. Even in the harsh winter, it snows heavily outside." When the dripping water turned into ice, the valley was still as green as it is now. The whole field did not feel cold at all. This was caused by the divine power of our holy ancestor. If not for this, how could there be such a place in the world?"[
The climate in this valley is probably the only one in the world that is very different from the outside world. Hua Bushi and others were extremely surprised when they entered the valley. At this time, Zhuo Yiwen's words were indeed quite convincing.
Hua Bushi looked out at the green field and pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said: "No, although this valley is special, it is not blessed by any divine power but is a scene created by the nature of heaven and earth."
Zhuo Yiwen frowned slightly and said, "Why did Master Hua say this?"
Hua Bushi said: "When I first entered the valley, I really didn't know why the valley was so much warmer than outside, but now I have figured it out a little bit."
He pointed to the mountain peaks in the distance and said: "This valley is surrounded by high mountains that can block the cold wind blowing from the north, and underneath the valley is filled with many rivers. These rivers are all formed by geothermal heat, and the hot springs will continue to emit... The heat is what makes the valley show such a warm and spring-like scene even in the cold winter months.”
Previously, when Hua Bushi fell into the ground from the secret passage of Mi Tuo Hall and saw white mist rising on the underground river, it was actually because the river water was warm. He also discovered that the boat made many turns in the river. These rivers are quite dense and form a river network under the valley.
Because of this, the entire valley is like a big steamer placed on hot water. The heat of the underground hot springs is constantly dissipating and steaming, which creates a phenomenon different from the outside world.
Zhuo Yiwen said: "Master Hua's observation is correct. However, the existence of such terrain is also a miracle. Doesn't it prove the wonder of this sect's holy land?"
Hua Bushi said: "Miss Yiwen believes in the theory of gods and ghosts, so she believes that the terrain of this valley is caused by divine power. Hua Bushi does not believe in ghosts and gods, so he thinks that these phenomena are just accidental creations of the power of nature. This is really because you and I have different beliefs." We also have different views on things, and I’m afraid neither of us can convince the other.”
Most religions that believe in gods and ghosts will have the saying "you have to believe it or not". This is because people who believe in gods and ghosts will become superstitious as long as they see some phenomena that are difficult to explain with common sense or changes in the number and destiny of people's life and death. People may think that this is caused by the action of gods and ghosts and therefore believe more deeply in it. However, people who are originally convinced that gods and ghosts are fictitious will not think so. This is the so-called "seeing strange things without blaming them will lead to self-defeat".
There are many strange and coincidental things in the world. Everyone has their own opinions on whether there are gods and ghosts. No one can say clearly.
After hearing Hua Bushi's words, Zhuo Yiwen's jade face couldn't help but sink slightly and said: "Young Master Hua doesn't believe what Yiwen said, so he will definitely not join our sect."
Hua Bushi said: "The conditions mentioned by Miss Yi Wen are good. It's just that although Young Master wants to develop the power of the 'Evil Dog Sect', he is unwilling to become someone else's puppet. Hua Bushi cannot agree with the various behaviors of your demons." I don’t believe that there is any such thing as conquering gods and exorcising ghosts, so I have no choice but to live up to Miss Yiwen’s kindness.”
Zhuo Yiwen said: "Master Hua refuses so much, why don't you consider the safety of your current situation?"
Hua Bushi looked at the pretty woman across the round table and suddenly burst out laughing.
Zhuo Yiwen said: "Why is Master Hua laughing?"
Hua Bushi laughed a few more times before he stopped and said: "I laughed at Miss Yiwen for going around in such a big circle, but in the end, like Huang Biyun, she could only threaten my young master's life."
The look on Zhuo Yiwen's face became even more gloomy as she said: "Master Hua is wrong. Yiwen and Huang Biyun are completely different. She said she wanted to kill people. It was just a false threat. She was determined not to take action seriously. But Yiwen was not just a talk."
She stared into Hua Bushi's eyes and said: "When the 'Evil Dog Gate' and the 'Dongting Gang' joined forces to attack the 'Tieshui Villa' in Changsha City, my father Lu Qianqiu was killed by you in that battle. Young Master Hua can be regarded as Yi Wen's murder. This time my father's enemy came to Henan, you, the 'Evil Dog Sect', helped the 'Arhat Sect' and the 'Shaolin Sect' to thwart our sect's grand plan. I have every reason to kill you, both publicly and privately. If Master Hua joins our sect now, Yiwen Maybe I can let go of my old grudges, but otherwise I will never show mercy."
Seeing Zhuo Yiwen's Hua Bushi expression, I couldn't help but feel a little shocked. The Shuang Ji's unparalleled elegance and determination and ruthlessness were not inferior to her beauty. As long as Hua Bushi said the word "no", it would probably be... His last moments on earth
Hua Bushi saw the cold light on the nails of Zhuo Yiwen's jade hands and knew that she was putting her skills in her palms. When he glanced around the room, the young master's heart suddenly moved and he said loudly: "Wait a minute for such an important decision, Miss Yiwen." You should always allow me to think about it."
Zhuo Yiwen stared at Hua Bushi's face for a moment and then said: "Okay, I'll let Master Hua think about it carefully."[
As she spoke, she lowered her raised palm and said: "This 'Jade Immortal Palace' is located on the 100-foot high cliff of Yuyang Mountain. The secret passage is the 'Evil Dog Gate' in the hidden valley. Even if it takes ten days to There is no chance that Young Master Hua can be found in half a month, and if he wants to use a delaying strategy, it will probably be in vain."
