Chapter 37 Thirty-seventh round

Daoist Iron Beard said with a smile: "Showing off in front of people is taboo for the Wu family, but at this moment, since you are popular, why don't you dare?" Baoyu smiled bitterly and said, "But disciple...how about disciples?..." The old man Ruyi smiled and said: "That's right, how can he show off his martial arts by himself? Is it possible that he can't be beaten here by himself? What's more, as far as I know, Baoyu's martial arts is based on intention first." , taking shape as the next level, if no one fights with him, he will never be able to show his superiority."

When Qunhao saw these high-level people talking on the stage, it was obvious that the matter had hoped to succeed, so his voice could not help but weakened, but the look of hope on his face was even stronger. Daoist Iron Beard turned his eyes around, and suddenly laughed loudly: "Since that's the case, why don't I accompany him to try my hand?" This old man, who is already in ruins but still has aspirations for thousands of miles, has not lost his pride and enthusiasm. Seniors do it." Daoist Tiebeard smiled and said: "There is no priority in learning, and those who are capable are respected. Why don't you dare to fight with me? Besides, as the only successor of Brother Ziyihou, even when it comes to seniority, you are not under poverty. "

Baoyu didn't know how to argue, so he said repeatedly: "My disciple dare not!" Under the repeated urging of the iron bearded Taoist priest and the encouragement of the group of heroes, he was so anxious that he was sweating through his heavy shirt.The little princess' eyes fluttered, and she suddenly smiled and said: "Taiwan Daoist, Bao'er is afraid that your prestige will be ruined, and I will never fight you. I think you should... just forget it!" This sentence is like adding fuel to the flames, Jiang Gui, the iron-bearded Daoist, is old and hot, how could he bear this shock, his thick eyebrows furrowed suddenly, and he laughed loudly: "Fang Baoyu, you are really afraid of being defeated by the poor Taoist. Is it? Winning or losing is a common matter in the military, don't you even have this kind of heart, come and come..."

The long sleeves were rolled up, and with a twist of the wrist, he was ready to draw the long sword. But this hand was lightly held down by Master Wuxiang, and Tie Ranxuan raised his eyebrows: "Master..." Wu Xiang cut his mouth and said with a smile: "Brother Dao is full of pride, but his feelings are reasonable, but Fang Shao's benefactor absolutely cannot do anything with Brother Dao. According to the poor Taoist..." The eminent monks of this generation were thinking about how to resolve it, but Gongsun Wuzhi, who had been silent all the time, fell to his knees and bowed his head and said, "Master forgives the sin, but this disciple has foolish opinions."

Master Wuxiang smiled and said: "Wulin Junyan, the wisest is the unwise." Tie Ran said: "Hmph! What does he know? He dares to talk too much here." Gongsun was unwise and bowed his head to the ground, so he dared not speak. Master Wuxiang said: "Let him speak!" Gongsun Buzhi said: "Disciple...disciple..." Tie Ran said loudly: "Master Wuxiang ordered you to speak, so you should speak quickly, why are you still hesitating." Qunhao couldn't help laughing secretly in his heart: "This master is really difficult to serve." Gongsun Buzhi heaved a sigh of relief, and said: "From my disciple's point of view, why don't you form a sword array with the five masters, surround Baoyu in the center, and see if he can get out?"

The old man Ruyi clapped his hands and said, "That's right. In this way, we can also see Fang Shaoxia's martial arts, and both sides will not be injured. Daoist brother Tieran, you should agree!" Daoist Iron Beard said with a smile: "Since Brother Ruyi agreed, what else can I say, Fang Baoyu, you..." Fang Baoyu hurriedly said: "Disciple obeys." As long as he can not fight with Iron Beard, he will agree to anything. Headed by Master Wuxiang of Shaolin, the sword array set up by these six masters is no small matter, the six swords swung out, add up to more than three hundred years of skill.

The sword qi formed by these three hundred years of skill is not to be said to be a human being, even bees and sparrows are difficult to get in and out. Who among the heroes wants to see if Fang Baoyu, who has quietly ascended the throne of the world's number one master, can break through ?What method can be used to break through? All of a sudden, the excitement among the group of heroes reached a climax again. Everyone had already thought that the excitement of this battle must be far higher than that of the dozens of battles just now. The morning sun has risen, and thousands of golden lights break through the clouds.

The thousands of golden lights coming out of the clouds seem to be all gathered on the six long swords, which seem to be able to reject all the light from the sky and the earth. Baoyu didn't move, and neither did the long sword. Baoyu drooped his brows and narrowed his eyes, as if he was thinking deeply about how to get out of the siege, and the eyes of the six masters were also half-lidded, as if no one had paid attention to Baoyu's movements. But in fact, as long as Baoyu moved his fingertips, the six masters would immediately notice it, but Baoyu didn't even move his fingertips.

Qunhao's eyes were fixed on these seven people, only Tie Wa's big eyes stared at the little princess without blinking. The little princess said: "Big stupid cow, why are you staring at me?" Tie Wa smiled "hee" and didn't answer. The little princess said: "A big man, wouldn't he be ashamed to stare at other girls?" Tie Wa laughed, but still didn't answer. The little princess said: "Did you just stare at me when you saw that I was born beautiful?" Tie Wa smiled and said, "Are you pretty? I can't tell." The little princess said: "What are you looking at if you can't see it?"

Tie Wa smiled and said, "If you can't see it, you still have to see it." The little princess rolled her eyes, looked behind Tie Wa, and suddenly said with a smile: "Ah! I can't think of it, why did you come here? Look at this Tie Wa staring at me, you... Aren't you jealous? " Tie Wa giggled and said, "No matter who comes, I won't turn back. I'm just watching over you on behalf of elder brother. Even if you want to leave, you can't." Annoyed and resented, the little princess bit her lip, stayed for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "I know that there is a place where the streets are full of beef, and the piles are higher than the mountain. If you go, I guarantee you can eat as much as you want." full."

Tie Wa smiled and said, "Beef? Hey! Tie Wa is not a rarity." The little princess smiled and said: "But the taste of the beef there is different from other places. I guarantee that you have never eaten such delicious beef in your life. You just have to smell the smell and you won't be able to stop eating it." Tie Wa blinked and said, "Really?" Seeing that he was already active, the little princess said happily, "Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, let me take you to have a look, okay?" Tie Wa said: "Really?" The little princess was overjoyed and said: "Then... let's go quietly!" Tie Wa smiled and said: "Okay, when the eldest brother comes, let's go together." The little princess was stunned again, stomped her feet and cursed fiercely: "Stupid cow, what a stupid cow alive." Although she is full of tricks and ideas, but when she meets this rock-like Niu Tiewa, no matter how brilliant her ideas are, they are all useless. Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on the sword formation, she was about to take the opportunity to slip away, but with these bull's eyes staring at her, how could she go. Turning his eyes, he saw that no one else had noticed the conversation between her and Tie Wa, and looking at Fang Baoyu, he still hadn't moved until now. Pan Jicheng and Wan Ziliang stood side by side. Pan Jicheng suddenly laughed softly and said: "Gongsun is not wise, indeed he is not wise. The idea he came up with seems to be helping Baoyu, but in fact it is Baoyu who must be defeated." Wan Ziliang said: "How do you know?" Pan Jicheng said: "In terms of martial arts, although the six masters are respected, none of them is an opponent of Baoyu alone, but the sword formation formed by these six people is like a fortress of iron and steel. Not to mention Fang Baoyu, even if Zi Yihou Fusheng, Zhou Yu, etc. If the old man comes in person, he will never try to break through." Wan Ziliang said: "This... this... may not necessarily be possible." Pan Jicheng said: "Yes, if they have no scruples, they only need to knock down one person, and they can break out. But if they are also placed in Baoyu's current position, they will not dare to offend these six people at all, let alone kill them at will. , if you want to break out of this sword formation, it is really harder than climbing to the sky." Wan Ziliang pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "That's true." Pan Jicheng said: "Looking at Baoyu's appearance at this moment, it seems that he has deliberately sought defeat, but his reputation can only be restored at this moment. After this defeat, I'm afraid it will inevitably be damaged again." Wan Ziliang smiled wryly: "If it's the next one, that's the only way." Seeing that Baoyu is still standing still, he really has no sense of winning. At this time, the sun is getting higher and higher, and the autumn sun is getting stronger. The heroes standing in the sun seem to be getting impatient. "Heavenly Sword" Mei Qian stood side by side with Jiang Xiaomin. Jiang Xiaomin couldn't help but said: "Looking at Fang Shaoxia's appearance, is it possible that he wants to use his strength to win? When the minds of the six masters are a little impetuous, he can take the opportunity to rush out." Mei Qian shook his head and said with a smile: "Which one of these six masters has not cultivated for decades? Although the martial arts is not as good as Fang Baoyu's due to talent, his concentration will never be inferior to Fang Baoyu's." Jiang Xiaomin looked sideways, but he saw that the six heads of the sect were all in peace, and even the iron-bearded Taoist leader showed no sign of impetuosity. But Baoyu not only remained silent, he didn't even show the slightest sign of any action. Jiang Xiaomin frowned and said, "In this way, does Fang Shaoxia have no intention of winning, and when the time limit comes, he will admit defeat? Isn't this a bit..." Mei Qian laughed and said, "Fang Baoyu will never admit defeat." He said it with such certainty that Jiang Xiaomin couldn't help but ask, "Why do you know that?" Mei Qian said: "Because of the special circumstances of this battle, even if Baoyu can break through, the reputation of the six masters will not be damaged, but if Baoyu can't break out, not only his reputation will be hindered, but even Zhou Lao The face of the senior is not good. Fang Baoyu is a smart person, how could he do such a stupid thing?" Jiang Xiaomin murmured: "Although the words are good, from the point of view, Fang Shaoxia really has no chance of winning. I'm afraid he himself knows this, so he hasn't taken any action yet." Mei Qian sighed softly: "Although I am guessing like that, I really can't figure out what mystery Baoyu is playing. In any case, if he wants to break out, he should do something at this moment, so as to attract the other party to show his empty door. If he stands still like this, there is absolutely no way he can rush out." Over there, Master Yimu and Mrs. Ding were discussing in secret. Mrs. Ding said: "Master, do you think Baoyu is so strange?" Master Yimu said: "It's really strange. There is only one explanation for him to do this, that is, he has a plan in his heart, if he doesn't move, he can rush out, but..." Mrs. Ding sighed: "But in the whole world, who can break out of the sword formation of the six masters in one fell swoop? If this child really thinks so, then he thinks too much of himself." Everyone secretly guessed, although they couldn't figure out Baoyu's intentions, but after calculation, they all felt that Baoyu was defeated and invincible at this moment. The rising sun is higher and the time limit is closer. At this time, even the few people who were still holding out hope for Baoyu were all desperate, and they all said that Baoyu's self-acknowledgment of defeat was only a matter of time. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Baoyu's figure suddenly moved! He made a wrong step, turned his body around, and drew a circle with his palms—the tips of the six long swords were connected into a line due to this turn, and the sword tips hit each other with a ding sound. One ring. At this time, the sun slanted from the east, and happened to shine on the point of this line of swords, and the point of the sword flashed, and the flash also turned around. The six masters felt a bright light flashing in front of them, and they couldn't help blinking their eyes. This is a moment that cannot be sent, and there is no word in the world that can describe the speed of this moment-a bright light flashes and disappears immediately. The eyelids of the six masters blinked again, but Fang Baoyu had miraculously escaped from the sword array in this moment of indifference. When the six masters opened their eyes again, Fang Baoyu had disappeared. Qunhao had long been dumbfounded, really dumbfounded, everyone was watching with wide eyes, but no one saw what was going on. Even Mrs. Ding couldn't help saying: "If you really don't move, you'll rush out, but... But how did he rush out, master, can you explain it?" Master Yiki pondered for a while, then sighed in a deep voice: "Shao Fang's benefactor's unique skills are amazing. Leaving aside his lightness and agility, the most amazing thing is that he has already calculated the angle of the sun's rays, and he has also calculated it accurately. According to the angle of the reflection of the sword tip, he seized the fleeting moment to drive the sword array, so that the reflected light happened to flash past the eyes of the six master masters one by one. The sudden flash of sunlight made the six masters The head master lost his mind, and the sword array paused because of it, Fang Shao benefactor also seized this moment, and flew out from the tip of the sword." Qunhao was shocked, and they were all listening to him. After hearing these words, everyone was stunned.This kind of martial arts, this kind of computer calculation, no one could have dreamed of. Master Yimu Heshi sighed and said: "Amitabha, so good! I don't think Fang Shao's benefactor's martial arts mentality has really reached the sky, and he can understand the secrets of the heavens. It is really invincible for the old monk to see such an incomparable talent in the martial arts world in his old age. happiness." Fang Baoyu had already turned over and bowed down, saying: "Disciple is rude." The six masters were all pleasantly surprised, and the iron-bearded Taoist stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Good! Good! This kid can use the sun's rays as his weapon to win. Who else is his opponent in the world? We are defeated It’s not wrong.” At this time, thunderous colorful sounds erupted among the group of heroes. The deafening applause did not gradually subside until after a cup of tea. Suddenly, the group of heroes crowded in the front felt that the cheers and laughter of the people behind stopped at the same time, the stop was so sudden and so strange. Qunhao couldn't help turning his head to look, only to see that not only the colorful sound had stopped behind him, but also the crowd dispersed on both sides, giving way to a path. Seven or eight burly men strode over from the separated crowd. These seven or eight big men all have fierce expressions and weird clothes. They all wear knee-length cowhide boots, and the bright-colored wide-brimmed trousers that seem to be old are stuffed into the boots, which look like lanterns. Yes, with a bare upper body, only wearing a small embroidered brocade vest, revealing a copper-colored skin, and that tall, iron-like body walked into the crowd, like standing out from the crowd. The leader is even more majestic, with a bearded face, strutting head, staring eyes, with a kind of unruly and powerful aura in his gestures, as if he was born accustomed to giving orders, and he was born not to look down on others like. The strange thing is that at this moment, these wild and unruly men are all frowning deeply, with heavy faces, obviously worried and have something on their minds. As the mountain wind blew, bursts of salty and fishy sea smell emanated from the big men, and the group of heroes couldn't help whispering: "Pirates! This must be a pirate!" "That's right, the leader is none other than the 'Purple Bearded Dragon' Shou Tianqi, a sea tycoon. I recognized him as soon as I saw his big black and purple beard." "The heroes of the sea can never set foot beyond a hundred miles along the coast. This is a century-old rule in the rivers and lakes. The pirates have always followed it unswervingly. How did they break this rule today and come here from afar? Could it be that in the past few years? Business at sea is not good, and the 'Purple Bearded Dragon' actually wants to venture into the world on land?" "No, 'Purple-bearded dragon' is not an idiot. Even if he wants to make trouble, he won't be here and now. With the few masters above, who can't make him go around?" "Then why are they here?" Amidst all the discussions, the purple bearded dragon strode to the front of the arena, his eyes flashed, he smiled and said: "Okay, okay, all the masters of the martial arts are here." He clasped his fists and said, "Hai Shou Tian pays homage to all of you." Wudang Iron Beard Taoist Master said in a deep voice: "The heroes of the sea have never traveled to the Central Plains. They are so far away today, why did they come here?" Shou Tianqi said: "I am here to report the news!" Iron bearded Taoist said: "What kind of information is it that you can work hard?" Shou Tianqi said: "The crow flies hundreds of miles, and it will report bad luck but not good news." It is very unusual for the leader of the sea group to report the news from thousands of miles away, since he came to report the evil, the bad news is naturally very serious. Qunhao couldn't help but be moved by each other. Iron bearded Taoist said: "Loyal birds report evil, sincere friends report to the police, honor the old way and warm heart, poor Taoist first expresses his gratitude, and then listens to the great teaching." The purple bearded dragon bowed and said, "Don't dare!" Looking around, he said: "Ming people don't talk about hypotheses in front of them. You must already know what kind of career Shou Tianqi is doing." Iron bearded Taoist said: "You have robbed the rich and donated to the poor, you have become a hero at sea, and you have heard of martial arts all over the world." Both of these two people have a voice like a bell and a mighty aura, and there is a sense of sympathy between them in their words - you must know that Daoist Tiebeard was also a hero among robbers in the past, so he has absolutely no contempt for heroes of the sea. The purple bearded dragon laughed loudly, and said: "Shou has traveled to the sea; he has traveled far and wide, especially the Dongying sea and the Japanese have frequently disturbed the coasts of Jiangsu and Zhejiang recently. Shou has also used his own way to treat him. , along the coast of Kyushu, Shou also often visits, and their life is not very peaceful." Tie Beard Taoist stroked his beard and said, "Okay!" The head master of this famous sect seems to have forgotten his identity at this moment, and the old flame seems to be ignited in his heart again, his eyebrows are all moving, and his arrogance is flying. The head of Shaolin couldn't help frowning, but couldn't help smiling. Purple bearded dragon said: "In early July, Shoumou visited the coast of Kyushu for a week, and the harvest was more than enough to make up for the losses suffered by the people along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so Shoumou cooked meat and wine to reward the brothers for their recent hard work. Unexpectedly, on that night, a strange thing happened on our ship." The iron-bearded Taoist priest moved, "What's the matter?" The purple-bearded dragon said: "That day, most of the brothers had a good time, and Shoumou was also very drunk, because our boat is not close to the coast, even if there is a sudden change, we will have time no matter if we want to fight or leave. It is inevitable that the vigilance will be relaxed a bit. Seeing that this night is about to pass safely, who would have thought that it would be before dawn..." Iron Beard Taoist said: "It is darkest before dawn, and incidents often happen at this time." The purple bearded dragon sighed: "That's right. Before the dawn of that night, I was awakened by a sharp pain. When I opened my eyes, I saw a sword light flying around..." Speaking of this, his complexion changed slightly, it was obvious that the shock he suffered that night still remained in his heart. Tiebeard Daoist moved his face and said: "The sword light is lingering... what about that person?" The purple-bearded dragon said: "At that time, I only saw the sword light hovering in the sky, like a dragon in the sky, changing without direction, and I couldn't see the figure of the person holding the sword." Iron bearded Taoist said: "Loyal birds report evil, sincere friends report to the police, honor the old way and warm heart, poor Taoist first expresses his gratitude, and then listens to the great teaching." The purple bearded dragon bowed and said, "Don't dare!" Looking around, he said: "Ming people don't talk about hypotheses in front of them. You must already know what kind of career Shou Tianqi is doing." Iron bearded Taoist said: "You have robbed the rich and donated to the poor, you have become a hero at sea, and you have heard of martial arts all over the world." Both of these two people have a voice like a bell and a mighty aura, and there is a sense of sympathy between them in their words - you must know that Daoist Tiebeard was also a hero among robbers in the past, so he has absolutely no contempt for heroes of the sea. The purple bearded dragon laughed loudly, and said: "Shou has traveled to the sea; he has traveled far and wide, especially the Dongying sea and the Japanese have frequently disturbed the coasts of Jiangsu and Zhejiang recently. Shou has also used his own way to treat him. , along the coast of Kyushu, Shou also often visits, and their life is not very peaceful." Tie Beard Taoist stroked his beard and said, "Okay!" The head master of this famous sect seems to have forgotten his identity at this moment, and the old flame seems to be ignited in his heart again, his eyebrows are all moving, and his arrogance is flying. The head of Shaolin couldn't help frowning, but couldn't help smiling. Purple bearded dragon said: "In early July, Shoumou visited the coast of Kyushu for a week, and the harvest was more than enough to make up for the losses suffered by the people along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so Shoumou cooked meat and wine to reward the brothers for their recent hard work.

Speaking of this, his complexion changed slightly, it was obvious that the shock he suffered that night still remained in his heart. Tiebeard Daoist moved his face and said: "The sword light is lingering... what about that person?" The purple-bearded dragon said: "At that time, I only saw the sword light hovering in the sky, like a dragon in the sky, changing without direction, and I couldn't see the figure of the person holding the sword." Tie Beard said, "Who?" But he didn't wait for Baoyu to answer, he blurted out: "That's right, it's him, the man in white from Donghai!" Qunhao was in an uproar again! Master Wuxiang frowned and said, "But why did he do this? Could it be that he has any hatred with Master Qi?" The purple bearded dragon smiled bitterly: "I don't deserve to have any enmity with him, not to mention if he really has any enmity with me, I won't be able to live till now." Iron Beard Taoist said: "There is no hatred, so why?" The purple bearded dragon said: "Leave your life and call the police for me." Tiebeard Taoist frowned and said, "How do you say that?" Purple bearded dragon said: "After I was alarmed, I saw a letter on the table, and beside the letter was a short card with these eight characters written on it." Iron Beard Taoist said: "What is written in that letter?" The purple bearded dragon said: "On the envelope there are only five simple words 'delivered to Zhongtu Wulin', and it is not written who is going to give it to, but I have already thought that this letter must have a seven-year agreement with the man in white. Regarding, he wounded us with the sword, I'm afraid it was also for demonstration, so I rushed back as soon as possible, hesitating who to give this letter to, fortunately, there was this Taishan meeting, which gathered heroes from all over the world, It has saved me a lot of trouble.” Master Wuxiang said in a deep voice, "Where is the letter?" Before he finished speaking, the purple bearded dragon took out the letter and offered it with both hands. The letter paper was pure white, but it was written in bright red. "to whom It May Concern: Zi Yihou died unexpectedly, I am really sad.Although the world is big, it is hard to find an opponent. Once this person dies, I will be even more lonely.I have only now learned that although it is difficult to win, it is even more difficult to lose. However, the seven-year agreement must be fulfilled. In the coming Hua Dynasty, I will go to China. I hope that someone on the coast of the East China Sea can give me a defeat with a three-foot sword. The man in white in the East China Sea. " The clumsy handwriting and short sentences, but between the lines there is a kind of desolate and magnificent heroism, which is almost eye-catching. Fang Baoyu, Wan Ziliang, Tieran Daochang and others carefully tasted the taste of the four words "give me a defeat", and felt that their blood was rushing and they couldn't help themselves. Just these four simple words have fully expressed the majesty of this peerless swordsman looking down on the world, and also expressed his inner loneliness and depression. Baoyu murmured: "In the whole world, apart from this man in white from the East China Sea, who else can say such a thing... Who else is qualified to say such four words?" The iron bearded Taoist stroked his beard and stared, and shouted: "You!" Yes, at this moment, Fang Baoyu is the hope of the heroes of the world. In the whole world, he is the only one who is considered capable of fighting the man in white. The night is cool in late autumn, the sky is high and wide, and the sky is full of stars. The courtyard of Wanzhu Mountain Villa is deep and deep, and the evening wind blows, blowing the shadows of thousands of bamboos. Under the stars, among the bamboo shadows, the fruit is delicious and the tea is fragrant. More than a dozen people sit around drinking tea and chatting. Outsiders look at it from a distance, like gods. These more than ten people are worthy of the beautiful scenery of a good day, because they are all the top figures in the martial arts world today, but at this moment they are not in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery of this good tea. The sensational Taishan meeting has come to an end, and everyone can't help but feel a sense of melancholy in their hearts after the end of the song. But apart from that, they still have a difficult problem in their hearts, and this problem is the biggest reason why these top martial arts masters feel heavy. So, the conversation finally turned to this question gradually... Master Wuxiang said: "For the appointment of the Fire Demon God, Young Master Fang, has he decided to go?" Baoyu respectfully said: "Since the disciple has agreed, how can there be any reason to break the contract?" Master Wuxiang said: "Oh!" He obviously had something in his heart that was difficult to say, and his eyes slowly moved to the old man Ruyi. The old man Ruyi gave a dry laugh and said, "This... this..." Baoyu said: "Seniors just teach me a lesson if they have something to say, disciples..." Daoist Iron Beard said in a deep voice: "What Brother Wuxiang and Brother Ruyi said is exactly what the poor Taoist wants to say, but... these words are indeed a little difficult to say." Baoyu pondered for a while, then lowered his head and said, "Could it be that the seniors want the disciple not to attend this appointment?" Ruyi old man sighed: "The chivalry of the rivers and lakes promises a thousand gold. If we old men want you to break the contract, wouldn't it be true that the more you live, the more you will go back, but..." He smiled wryly, and continued: "But this matter is really of great importance. Although we can't ask you to break the contract, we have to ask you to think more about it before making a decision." Baoyu said: "The disciple has really thought about it again and again, but..." The old man Ruyi interrupted: "If it is someone else, it has been promised, and it will never be changed, but you... Alas! Your status is very different from others at this moment, and the hopes of the world's martial arts comrades are actually pinned on you. body, just waiting for you to have a decisive battle with the man in white in the East China Sea." The iron-bearded Taoist priest continued: "If you have any troubles in order to go to this appointment, and you can't go to the East China Sea appointment, then... then what should you do?" Baoyu bowed his head and said, "This...disciple..." The old man Ruyi said slowly: "After the Taishan meeting yesterday, the group of heroes still reluctantly left, just to look at you more. At that time, there were thousands of eyes on Mount Tai, who was not looking at you... …You only need to look into their eyes to know how much they expect of you.” Baoyu said: "This... disciple knows." Iron bearded Taoist said: "Since you know, you should weigh the importance of this matter. If you disappoint the heroes of the world in order to go to the promise of the Fire Demon God, is it worth it?" The old man Ruyi continued: "What's more, the Fire Demon God is an unfaithful villain. Even if you miss an appointment with him, no one in the world will criticize you." Fang Baoyu lowered his eyes and remained silent, obviously conflicted in his heart. Master Wuxiang sighed: "The old monks are not saying that there will be ups and downs when you go here, but that you must recharge your energy and store up your energy before next year's Hua Dynasty, so that your spirit and physical strength will reach the peak, in order to be able to win the battle... Thinking that the Fire Demon God is begging you so much, the White Water Palace is definitely not an easy place. Even if you go here without any damage, the mental and physical energy consumption must be considerable, and the impact on the battle between you and the man in white must be huge. You If you lose... because of this, wouldn't it make all the heroes of the world feel sorry for it!" Baoyu still bowed his head and remained silent. After a while, the Tiebeard Taoist priest couldn't help asking: "Have you decided?" Baoyu said slowly, "It hasn't been decided yet." Master Wuxiang said: "You might as well think again. Even though the old monks said so, whether to go or not, this decision is entirely up to you..." Glancing around, he smiled slightly and said, "It seems that you and I have to disturb Master Wan again tonight. After hearing the reply from Master Fang tomorrow morning, it will not be too late to rush back." Amidst the voice, he stood up . Baoyu bowed and said, "Tomorrow morning, I will hear from my disciple."
