Chapter 10 Chapter VII Grand Event

I took a closer look at the photo in my hand, it was a rainy time, and it was in profile, so I couldn't see the woman's face clearly.Duguqi and that woman were walking side by side on the road. The woman was holding an umbrella, more than half of which covered Duguqi from the rain, half of her body was a little wet. "Who is she?" I asked again, "Duguqi rarely gets so close to people, because his character is to only trust himself. Is this his sister? But I haven't heard that he has a sister. Not much. This woman looks like an ordinary person, without the slightest energy in her body, otherwise she would not be wet by the rain. If it is Duguqi's younger sister, she should also be a new human being."

Yan Chengyu asked me back with a strange expression: "Do you think it is possible for Dugu Qi to fall in love with a woman?" I looked at him in surprise, frowned and said: "This possibility seems unlikely. Are you sure you are not mistaken? Dugu Qi and I know each other well. He is a person who has been pursuing strength all his life. He He doesn't want to have any burdens and weaknesses, so he always regards feelings as poison that corrodes his will to pursue a strong will." Yan Chengyu said: "Although Duguqi didn't talk much when getting along with that woman, he doted on her very much. It can be easily seen from his demeanor that they are definitely a couple of lovers." Yan Chengyu suddenly He said gloomyly: "I really want to see Duguqi's painful expression when he loses his love."

I was taken aback, looked at him and said, "You won't really do this, right? There is an injustice and a debtor. Although Yan Lie was killed by Duguqi, this woman is innocent. You have to do it for your brother." Duguqi should be the one to take revenge! Dealing with an innocent person is not an act of fairness." Yan Chengyu closed his eyes and nodded.I reprimanded: "How can you do such a foolish thing like a dignified man! How is this woman, is she injured?" Yan Chengyu opened his eyes, shook his head, with a look of loneliness and guilt in his eyes. I breathed a sigh of relief: "It's a good thing you didn't succeed. Is there anything wrong with our people? Alas, Dugu Qi must have killed all the people you sent in a fit of rage. How far is he now?"

Yan Chengyu said: "Duguqi's cultivation has reached an unfathomable level, I can't see his depth at all." I was surprised: "You did it yourself? He didn't kill you!" Yan Chengyu said: "I was as vulnerable as an ant in front of him. My anger, my hatred, and my determination to avenge my death were all crushed by his punch. He only used one punch, and I was completely shattered." I can't get up the idea of ​​resistance, as if the whole world is shrouded in this punch." I looked at him solemnly and said, "He didn't kill you!" Yan Chengyu exposed his left arm from under his clothes, and I was shocked when I glanced at it. His entire arm was actually a prosthetic limb made of metal.I was surprised and said: "He only needs your arm, when did his style change?"

Yan Chengyu said bitterly: "When I closed my eyes and waited to die, I only heard the woman suddenly say 'don't kill anyone'. I felt the pressure in my whole body drop suddenly, but there was a piercing pain in my left arm, and a flame burned my whole body in just a moment. An arm was burned to powder. I wanted to kill her, but she saved my life." Now I understand Yan Chengyu's contradictory mood, he failed to kill, but was rescued by the person who wanted to kill, this kind of mood is really hard to describe in words.I sighed: "Regret?" Yan Chengyu nodded slightly and said: "Fortunately, no regrets were caused, otherwise I might feel guilty for the rest of my life. She is a very ordinary woman, but she has a kind heart. Maybe Duguqi fell in love with her precisely because of this."

I looked at his left arm with regret. He lost an arm. It is very difficult for him to practice Huaxinzong Kung Fu to reach the level of Dacheng. He shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal. Now that biochemical technology is very advanced, my prosthetic arm is also very flexible. It is no different from the previous one. Moreover, this prosthetic is also implanted with a smart computer. My nerves are connected, and this smart computer saves me a lot of work when I usually do things." I no longer persuade him, for such a tough guy, consolation is an insult to him.

After being silent for a while, he said: "Duguqi's cultivation is unfathomable, even Sect Master Feng can't give me this feeling. I am afraid that you are the only one who can defeat him." I smiled and said firmly: "I'm looking for him everywhere. Since he came to my door, I will naturally capture him in one fell swoop." Yan Chengyu cheered up and said: "This time, we Huaxin Sect has a lot of masters, and the masters of the other two sects will arrive soon. If the little sect master needs anything, just tell me directly." I said: "Presumably Duguqi must have successfully integrated the vitality of the Nine Xuan Guizhu and the life source of the Golden Crow God of War with himself. With his current strength, ordinary masters are no longer a threat to him. If he sees through our alliance with many It wouldn’t be good to scare him away if an expert attacks him. For now, you should help the bounty hunter organize this grand event, and Duguqi will leave it to me to deal with it.”

Yan Chengyu was a little reconciled, but he still listened to my opinion in the end, saying: "With his strength, if he wants to escape, no one can stop him. I'd better listen to the little suzerain." I said: "This is the best, such a grand event, the Three Plants Gang, the Skeleton League and others will definitely not be reconciled, and they will definitely bring people to make trouble. Although we have many experts, you still have to keep your spirits up to avoid unnecessary casualties. " After Yan Chengyu left, Fengrou asked worriedly, "Are you sure?" I smiled wryly and said: "The fire crow in Duguqi's body has begun to recover its true power to destroy heaven and earth. Who dares to say that it is sure? If I can break through the current state as soon as possible and reach the state of Ninth Song, I will "Nine Songs" Eighteen Bends' Kung Fu practice is complete, and then my body's cells will make a qualitative leap again, and the dark energy in my body and the power of the stars can be freely converted, and my confidence will be greater."

Feng Rou anxiously said: "How can I do it, how can I do it, I can't let you take this risk! Let's go to the Peach Blossom Spring to seek the Greedy Wolf Divine Beast, isn't it the one who sealed the Fire Crow together with many human masters before?" I said: "The Greedy Wolf Divine Beast transformed itself into the Cauldron God World and sealed the Fire Crow for ten thousand years. One can imagine the consumption of its power. Afterwards, it transformed the little dog wolf and further consumed the remaining power. It is now very weak. And The Fire Crow attached itself to Duguqi, devouring the life force of a Nine Mysterious Turtle Bead plus the life energy of the Golden Crow God of War. One went up and the other went up. Comparing the two, the Fire Crow is a new force, and the Greedy Wolf Divine Beast is not its opponent. Fire Crow is eager for the Greedy Wolf Divine Beast to die, if it swallows the power of the Greedy Wolf Divine Beast, then who will be able to restrain it!"

Tears of worry rolled in Feng Rou's eyes. I held her hand and said: "Look, you said before that I am the number one expert in the world, but now you are afraid that I, the number one expert, will not be able to beat others." Fengrou held my hand tightly, stared at me and said: "This is different, this is different, the fire crow is an ancient beast, even a greedy wolf can hardly deal with it, let alone you .” I said: "Don't worry, Duguqi is not a scourge. He and I are both rivals and friends to a certain extent. We are very familiar with each other. Even though he is very powerful now and surpasses me, I want to It is still not that simple to win me. What's more, he who has been pursuing unencumbered and self-improvement has an extra woman beside him out of thin air. Although I don't know what happened to him, his thoughts have appeared His desire to fight will be greatly reduced by the appearance of this woman, so it is still too early to say who will win."

Feng Rou's expression was obviously relaxed, crescent eyebrows lightly frowned and said: "Grandma Dan still has some treasured healing elixir, I'll go get some, you must take it with you, if you get hurt, you can recover quickly .” I smiled and agreed.In fact, every cell in my body is now an energy bank for storing dark energy. Unless the cells die, they will quickly repair themselves once they are injured. Ordinary elixir has no effect on me.But in order to make Fengrou feel more at ease, I didn't explain this. On the same day, Fengrou asked for a whole bottle of five-rev. special healing pills from Grandma Dan. In order to avoid causing unnecessary panic, only a few high-level people know that Dugu Qi is coming to the coffee city.The old man guessed that since Duguqi appeared, he would definitely not go to our place alone. In order to prevent people from the new alliance from mixing into the coffee city, the vigilance of the coffee city has been raised again. As always, I accompany Fengrou every day, drink coffee in the morning, and let Fengrou act as a tour guide in the afternoon to show me the historical relics in this small town.In the evening, I will help Fengrou practice. Day after day, five days passed in a blink of an eye, and the grand meeting began, but Duguqi unexpectedly did not show up.Our outside eyes and ears did not find him again, because he disappeared suddenly two days ago, and there is no sign of his whereabouts. Duguqi's disappearance has aroused everyone's attention. Duguqi's appearance in a sensitive place at a sensitive time cannot but make people suspect his motives, and his sudden disappearance makes people guess what he wants to do. The event was still going on in a joyous atmosphere, but the bounty hunter organization sent more experts to expand the search area. Just as we guessed, in the past two days, some powerful mafia organizations have indeed dispatched masters to fish in troubled waters, trying to take advantage of the crowds to sneak into the coffee city to make trouble, but most of them want to make trouble during the grand event All the underworld masters were driven out of the coffee city by the guard led by Yan Chengyu. As for these underworld organizations who sneaked into the event with hostility, once Yan Chengyu found out, he would warn them and politely ask them to leave the coffee city.If the other party didn't listen to the advice, but worsened, Yan Chengyu would lead the guards to take action, either forcefully expel them, or arrest them and lock them up, and then release them only after the grand event is over. Fengrou and I wander around the city every day, and we always encounter one or two incidents like this. Some people with evil intentions take advantage of some trivial things to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble in the city.However, the guards led by Yan Chengyu appeared very quickly, and often the moment something happened on this side, the other side had already rushed over. On the third day, there was news from outside that Dugu Qi was found in a tourist city, and Dugu Qi was still accompanied by the woman from last time.Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, because this city is far away from the coffee city, it seems that Duguqi does not intend to come to the coffee city. The third day is the climax of the event, because from today onwards, every day the event will elect four experts with respected reputation and status as representatives.A total of 12 representatives will be elected at the event, responsible for supervising evil forces in various places and preventing terrorist organizations that threaten peace and unity. There are both new humans and ancient humans participating in this event, and they are all powerful organizations from all over the world, so the twelve representatives selected have a high reputation and appeal, and everyone at the meeting also passed an agreement: Every three years, the General Assembly will be held to review the behavior of the previous twelve representatives in the past three years, and to elect twelve new representatives. Of course, this is just a coalition of non-governmental organizations, and it only plays a supervisory role.Whether the earth will become better tomorrow depends on the unified federal government. Duguqi's stay away from the coffee city made Fengrou feel better, and I also accompanied her to watch the waterfowl and the sunset every day, living a rare and leisurely life. On the fourth day of the event, Priest Song Tianyue and Uncle Bei Qianshan unexpectedly appeared in the coffee city. Yan Chengyu notified me immediately. I wondered in my heart, these two old people rarely left Taohuayuan in their lives, and suddenly came to the coffee city at this time, could something serious happen to Taohuayuan?My heart was shocked, could it be that Duguqi suddenly invaded Taohuayuan?But I immediately overturned this idea. Although the fire crow that controlled Duguqi hated Taohuayuan very much, with its power that has not yet returned to its heyday, I am afraid that it may not dare to invade Taohuayuan easily. After all, Taohuayuan has been passed down for thousands of years, and there are countless masters, and there is also the beast Tanlang sitting in command. With Huo Ya's current strength, it may not be able to please him if he goes there. Feng Rou and I met two elderly people in a quiet small yard. When Fengrou and I arrived, the two elderly people were having a drink in the yard. There were some special dishes on the wooden table. The two uncles looked good, drinking wine and eating dishes from time to time, looking quite leisurely. Uncle Bei said: "Let your boy come out to find Duguqi, and you'll come here to enjoy yourself." He glanced at Feng Rou and said with a narrow smile, "How does it feel to have a beautiful woman by your side?" Uncle Song also looked at us with a smile and said: "Come and sit down, if you don't mind, sit with us two old people and have a drink." Fengrou shyly followed me and sat down beside the two old people. I said: "Uncle Bei, do you know that Grandma Dan is here?" Uncle Bei waved his hands and said, "We two old men came out to have a look before we die, so there's no need to tell her." Fengrou refilled a glass of wine for each of them, and said softly: "The two seniors are very strong, and their cultivation has reached the level of the two seniors. If they are safe and sound, they will live two hundred years without any problem. " The two old men laughed. I noticed that Uncle Bei's smile was a bit bitter, and asked in surprise: "Uncle Bei, you don't have anything to hide from us, do you?" Uncle Song glanced at me, and said leisurely: "There is nothing to hide about this matter, you will know sooner or later, my life span has come." Fengrou and I were stunned for a moment, we couldn't believe it was true. Fengrou's tears rolled down quickly, and she said with a sobbing voice: "Fengrou doesn't believe it, Master Song is in such good health, he will...will..." Uncle Song glanced at Uncle Bei, and said with a calm smile, "I said earlier that I wouldn't bother the children, look..." Uncle Bei also had a slightly mournful expression on his face, and he took a sip of wine when he heard the words, and said: "Feng Rou is right, even if you have reached my level of cultivation, it will be easy to live to be two hundred years old, but you know Your Uncle Song is already two hundred and twenty-three years old this year." We heard the truth for the first time, and looked at Uncle Song in amazement. Uncle Song turned his head to look at me and Feng Judao: "I have reached my level of cultivation, and I know the changes in my body like the palm of my hand. My body is like a machine that has been used for a long time. No matter how well maintained it is, it will eventually die one day. This year It is my limit. You don't have to be sad for me, I have lived for more than two hundred years, and I have already surpassed ordinary people. Besides, I have already experienced what I should experience in this life, and I have no regrets." I was moved and admired by Uncle Song's open-mindedness and indifference to life and death. After all, Fengrou is a girl, and when she was learning alchemy with Granny Dan in Taohuayuan, she was also taken care of and taught by Uncle Song, so she was more likely to be sad, and tears fell down. Uncle Song smiled and said: "Don't be sad, the cycle of life and death is like a circle, there is no end and no end, maybe the world after death will be better." Fengrou's little hands grabbed me desperately, as if she wanted to vent all the sadness in her heart. Martial Uncle Bei laughed loudly, and said boldly: "If you have wine today, you will be drunk today. Let's talk about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow. Let's have a drink together!" The four of us, young and old, toasted together. Fengrou drank the wine in one gulp, and her face became even redder. Uncle Song said: "When I was young, I wandered in the world of mortals, and now I am about to die, and I have many nostalgia and memories of the past, so I came out to have a look. Your Uncle Bei was afraid that I would be alone, so he accompanied me Let's go out together. After today, we'll be out of here." Feng Rou sobbed: "Uncle Song, let me stay by your side and accompany you for a while longer." Uncle Song smiled lightly and said: "Silly girl, what's the point of you following me, an old man who is dying? Lan Hu is the one you will be with for the rest of your life. Besides, Lan Hu is under a lot of pressure in the battle with Duguqi. Da, you can help him share some burden when you are by his side." Uncle Bei answered: "We will leave here tomorrow, you don't have to miss us, there will be people from Taohuayuan following us along the way. If there is anything, you can contact us through Yan Chengyu." Having said that, there is nothing more to say.I admire the friendship between the two old men, and also admire the indifference with which the two old men treat life and death.The two of us, the old and the young, drank happily with the light dishes on the table. After a while, Fengrou was the first to get drunk. After drinking for a while, Uncle Song also felt a little bit drunk, but Uncle Bei and my two drunkards were the most sober. I was about to leave with Feng Rou so that the two elderly people could have a good rest, but Master Song stopped me.Master Song said: "You and Duguqi will have a life-and-death battle this year!" I was stunned and looked at Uncle Song, his face was reddish, but his eyes were very clear. Uncle Song said slightly with emotion: "Maybe it's because I'm about to die that everything has been taken lightly. Instead, I feel some things that are about to happen. Maybe this is a gift from God before I die." I said: "Then the final... victory or defeat of my battle with Duguqi?" Uncle Song said: "I don't know. But three points are destined, seven points depend on hard work. Victory depends on your own hands." I nodded and said: "However, the current Duguqi is no longer Duguqi. It is controlled by Huoya. Judging from Yan Chengyu's description, Huoya's strength has surpassed mine. In comparison, my chances of winning are very small." many." Uncle Bei laughed and said, "How do you know that Huoya has completely controlled Duguqi!" I said: "According to Yan Chengyu's description, this powerful flame power has completely exceeded the limit that the human body can exert." Uncle Bei interrupted me and said, "Have you ever heard that Huo Ya will fall in love with human women!" This sentence was like enlightenment, and it woke me up at once.If Dugu Qi was really completely controlled by Huo Ya, how could Huo Ya let an ordinary human woman stay by his side? I thanked Uncle Bei and said, "Thank you Uncle Bei for waking up the dreamer." Uncle Song said: "You are in the middle of the game, so you will be confused by the things in the game. Imagine if the fire crow that dominated the earth ten thousand years ago had completely controlled Duguqi's body, how could it fall in love with a human being?" What about women?" I said: "Duguqi is a person who is born to pursue strength. He would have feelings for an ordinary girl. This matter is very strange." Uncle Song looked at me with eyes full of wisdom and said: "As long as it is a human being living on the earth, who can completely escape the shackles of fame, wealth, power and emotion? It's just that these three things have a greater impact on some people, and some It’s just a little less of a human influence.” Uncle Bei sneered and said, "What is the so-called pursuit of power for? Does the pursuit of power mean that there is no desire for nothing? Or is it just for the sake of being strong? Then what is the purpose of being strong? Maybe being strong is to protect oneself, maybe It is to protect relatives, maybe to bully others to get more benefits. In the final analysis, they all pursue power in order to obtain some benefits or break some shackles. No matter how we struggle, we always live on the earth. As long as we live on the earth, among human beings, we will inevitably be troubled by fame, power and emotions." Uncle Bei's words shocked me. This kind of understanding was something I had never considered before, but it is undeniable that Uncle Bei did tell the key point. As long as one is still living on the earth, who can really get rid of it? The bondage of these three things?From this point of view, it is quite normal for Dugu Qi to have feelings for that girl. After thinking about it again, I couldn't help laughing, no matter whether Duguqi is a good guy or a bad guy, he is still a person after all.
