Throughout the ages, there is no absolute good or bad.
There is no absolute good and evil, righteousness and evil.
Absolute light is the same as absolute darkness.
Only because of the turmoil of the world and the various interests entangled between people, it is necessary to distinguish between good and bad, good and evil, good and evil.
Therefore, wherever there are rivers and lakes, good and evil will be distinguished.
The Kyushu Alliance and the Four Seas Alliance, which were forced to disband at the Hundred Flowers Conference, were immediately divided into good and evil.
However, the gangs in the Jiuzhou Alliance may not be free from scandalous activities, and the Four Seas Alliance may not be upright.
Compared with the evil demon sects headed by the four major gangs of the Red Clothes Sect, the Tusita Gang, the Tiansha Twelve Palaces and the Netherworld Sect, the former Jiuzhou and Sihai Alliances, as well as the famous sects such as Wudang, Shaolin and Emei, and the Taoist Alliance, boasted that they For the right path of the world, there is no bias.
Let’s not talk about other things. Just as far as the burning of Southern Shaolin and the siege of Zhongzhou martial arts people is concerned, the Red Clothes Sect is not just an evil demon sect. It is understandable to be characterized as a foreign bandit.
The twelve sects of Tiansha are suspected of aiding the evil deeds, and the Nether Sect, which has been unable to retreat, is not completely aloof from the matter. It can be said that they all have their own agendas.
On the contrary, the Tushita Gang did not know whether it was influenced by Buji Island or had ulterior motives, but they actually fought side by side with the righteous side of Zhongzhou Jianghu.
But this sudden "rebellion" is naturally not easy to win people's trust, and time will test it.
As of now, the Tushita Gang can indeed be said to be advancing and retreating together with Jianghu Zhengdao.
When Ji Qianlin showed up with Chang Kun, he basically came to help solve the problem of the two-pole soul-splitting cow.
After that, they did not hide their secrets and even found themselves in danger for a time.
With Tushita helping to pave the way for these two very important figures, no one was too surprised when Smiling Maitreya and Shadow Buddha appeared.
Although one must secretly complain that these two people have been hiding in the crowd for an unknown period of time, even if they want to paddle, the red-clothed believers and Japanese people will not show mercy, and the number of lives lost at the hands of these two people will not be much less.
Moreover, when Tu Wanfang became more powerful and difficult to defeat, the two still stepped forward. The sincerity and determination of the Tushita Gang are still trustworthy at least today.
For this reason, when the smiling Maitreya mask was shattered, many people were heartbroken, and many people subconsciously turned their heads away.
Some people dare not see what kind of face is underneath that mask.
There are also people who don't want to look at the face without the mask.
Of course, there are still people who can't wait to see and remember the face that has been hidden under the mask for a long time.
Although there was no light behind him, Jiang Yichen still mobilized enough energy to attach his eyes to help him see far away.
Of all the people, Jiang Yichen was probably the one who watched the scene the most intensely, while Ji Qianlin watched it the most obsessively and intently.
After all, Ji Qianlin had been with the Smiling Maitreya Buddha for a long time, and she had accidentally seen the face behind the Smiling Maitreya Buddha once.
The rumor in the world that Smiling Maitreya has a thousand faces is by no means groundless.
Except for the fact that his body shape does not change much every time he appears, the voices behind the mask range from a delicate woman's voice, a vicissitudes of old woman's voice, to a clear middle-aged voice, a hoarse old man's voice, etc.
And all the voices are adapted to the movements of the person. If the Maitreya mask didn't always show his identity, otherwise no one would be sure that the vivid and different images are all the same person.
Although the smiling Maitreya who appeared in front of Ji Qianlin was not as varied as the rumors in Jianghu, there were at least more than ten kinds.
She has seen the "true face of Mount Lu" once and is looking forward to how it will be different the second time.
It was a thin and wrinkled face, with deep eyes, protruding brows, and slightly frosty white beard and hair.
Except for the pair of earlobes that are slightly wider than ordinary people, it can be said that this appearance has nothing to do with Maitreya Buddha.
No matter who looks at this face, they will only think that this person is at least over seventy years old.
Ji Qianlin's beautiful eyes did not blink. She was sure that this face was very similar to the "true face" she saw for the first time. Indeed, it was very consistent with the tone and expression of the smiling Maitreya today. Logically speaking, the repeated face was the real face of the gang leader. The possibility of inclusion is not low.
However, due to the so-called woman's intuition, Ji Qianlin still did not want to believe that this ancient old man was the true face of his gang leader.
Jiang Yichen at the far end also compared this face with his voice when he came into contact with Smiling Maitreya twice before the Hundred Flowers Conference and in Luzhou County, and came to the conclusion that the voice and face were consistent.
It's just the voice in his heart telling himself that what he sees and hears may not necessarily be true.
Perhaps this sudden change made everyone's hearts relax a little.
Therefore, after seeing the appearance of the smiling Maitreya, only 20% believed it to be true, 30% had reservations, and half did not care or had no time to care.
If you think about it carefully, Smiling Maitreya became famous after the Great Rebellion among the Outer Barbarians, which can only take fifteen years at most.
Judging from his seventy-year-old age, he was at least past the age when he became famous.
It is not that there are no top figures who are late bloomers in the world. On the contrary, they are mostly among famous sects such as Shaolin and Wudang. However, people who have lived for nearly a decade are unknown, but in the second half of their lives, they come into public view in a grand way. What is the identity of these people? People's imagination wanders.
Of course, most people have no intention of thinking about it at this moment, and even more so, they are sweating over the situation of the smiling Maitreya.
When Tu Wanfang smashed the smiling Maitreya mask with one palm, his hand continued to reach towards his head.
Smiling Maitreya's body was like a broken willow, he bent his waist and fell backward, avoiding Tu Wanfang's claws.
At the same time, his footsteps quickly and lightly swept back to increase the distance.
Tu Wanfang did not pursue the criminal, but instead focused his attention elsewhere again.
He raised his head, bared his teeth, bent his legs and kicked the ground, and once again attacked Master Qingku who had retreated to one side.
Master Qingku's body is surrounded by Buddha's light again, but it is extremely faint. If he doesn't stand close, he can't even see clearly.
Tu Wanfang has a clear goal, and Smiling Maitreya will not give up until he achieves his goal.
A sudden stop, a bounce, the ground is like a huge withered lotus leaf floating on the pond after autumn, which will be dented and broken when stepped on.
In the blink of an eye, the smiling Maitreya's black figure stretched infinitely like a giant black python, using his hand as a blade to strike directly at the back of Tu Wanfang's back, with a force as strong as a mountain!
Chi!
Seeing that Smiling Maitreya was still a few feet away from Tu Wanfang, Tu Wanfang seemed to be pressed down by an invisible mountain, causing his body to collapse, his feet to sink into the ground, and his movements to be sluggish!
It's just that this time Tu Wanfang no longer allowed his opponent's attack to increase. He quickly rallied his body, stood up from the ground, turned around and twisted his waist, waved his arm to deflect the Smiling Maitreya's hand blade, and swept the earth-carrying legs along with the spinning momentum. Head towards the smiling Maitreya.
boom!
Smiling Maitreya crossed his arms, and his arms and legs hit each other and separated. A high wall made of blood and mud of the corpse was erected on the ground to separate the two people.
On one side of the ten-foot-high earth wall, the smiling Maitreya's left hand was filled with white energy, and his right hand was filled with blazing fire. As his hands moved closer to each other, the scene around him began to distort as everyone saw it!
On the other side of the ten-foot-high earthen wall, Tu Wanfang, who smelled a hint of threat, temporarily put down Master Qingku, moved his feet, and attacked the smiling Maitreya who had successfully provoked him.
Compared to Smiling Maitreya, Tu Wanfang's punching plan doesn't look fancy.
However, when Tu Wanfang responded to the two powerful blows of Smiling Maitreya, he was able to fight back equally. Even if no one believed that Tu Wanfang would give birth to some colorful intestines to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, they would never believe Tu Wanfang's performance. The fist will be as unremarkable as before, relying solely on brute force.
boom!
Jiang Huren, who was a little closer to the battle between Xiao Xiao and Tu, first found that his vision was completely replaced by red and white, and then his eyesight blurred, and then he felt a thunder and explosion beside his ears, and he was unable to see. , when he couldn't hear, he was hit by a speeding carriage, and his body flew backwards without any control!
If it weren't for the fact that everyone here is not an ordinary person, they would take timely and effective self-protection measures when their lives are at stake. Otherwise, it would not be as simple as falling to pieces and being embarrassed. It would be a light thing to fall unconscious on the spot!
Although everyone had prepared for the first two rounds to create a shocking blow, they did not expect it to come so quickly and directly, and even cause a small area of bloody corpses under the warm sun. Mud rain!
Everyone refocused their sights through the dirty rain, and it could be seen that Xiao and Tu were also pushed back nearly ten feet by this blow.
Both of them were in a crouching position with one hand and two feet touching the ground, in a stalemate stage.
Those with better eyesight can see that the sleeves of Smiling Maitreya's black robe have disappeared from the elbow down, revealing the sleeves and withered hands under the gloves.
Come to think of it, if it weren't for Tu Wanfang, the people of Zhongzhou Jianghu would never have the chance to see the face under the smiling Maitreya mask and the hands under the gloves.
Unfortunately, the timing was wrong, no one wanted to see the embarrassed Maitreya Smiling at this time.
Smiling Maitreya's current posture is as if his internal organs have been affected by the shock just now, and he has suffered some serious injuries. He puts one hand on his heart, lowers his eyes, and is doing simple breath adjustment.
Tu Wanfang was about to end his hunting behavior and return home with a good harvest!
Masters including Master Qingku, Zuo Feng, Gu Xinhun and others were worried and wanted to step forward to help, but they did not dare to act rashly.
It wasn't that he was afraid that Tu Wanfang would change his target and attack them instead, but that he was afraid that the move would spur Tu Wanfang to attack Smiling Maitreya immediately.
Right now, Smiling Maitreya lacks the most time to adjust his condition!
…
…
At the far end, an inaudible dry laughter came from the mud.
After Xuan Xiao, who was responsible for guarding Hongshang, saw everything, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
I don't know if I have run out of patience, or I see that the situation has made it difficult to continue wasting time with Hongshang here, so I am planning to use a dead horse as a living horse doctor and throw Hongshang in front of Tu Wanfang to try.
But when he saw Jiang Yichen's eyes looking elsewhere, he couldn't help but cast a questioning look.
Jiang Yichen said: "The sound of horse hooves indicates that someone is coming."
"people?"
"Someone is really here!"
"Is there anyone else coming at this time?"
"One person and one horse? What's the use of coming here?!"
As soon as Jiang Yichen finished speaking, the people surrounding Hongshang slowly spread the news and questions.
It slightly distracted the attention of Xiaoxiao and Tu Yizhan.
When he saw that the person coming was indeed a man and a horse, Luobo couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart. He secretly clenched his fists and whispered: "It's time for someone to come..."
Before Luo Bo could finish his words, a pair of slender catkins pressed lightly on his shoulders, signaling him to speak carefully.
Jiang Yichen was probably the only person present who heard this sudden whisper deep in his heart.
I thought to myself: "The imperial army is still standing still and conserving its strength. They are just waiting for us to take care of Tu Wanfang before they come to take care of us. Or are they waiting for us to be taken care of by Tu Wanfang before they help us collect our bodies?"
At the same time, many people also came back to their senses and remembered that there were a large number of soldiers gathering on the blockade outside Putian County. If they could come to help, it would be the rain after a long drought. Moreover, they looked like they were not dressed as imperial soldiers. They suddenly He yelled and cursed for a long time.
…
…
In contrast, the people on the front line would find out the arrival of that person and horse a little later.
Although they were also very confused about the identity and purpose of the visitor, they were able to stay calm and focus on Tu Wanfang in front of them.
Da da da!
The huge scorched field where nearly two hundred people were located was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
From far to near, the sound of galloping horse hooves became clearer and clearer. It was like the only sound that touched everyone's ears and hearts.
Smiling Maitreya didn't care who came.
Tu Wanfang had no external concerns. Even if that person and horse were coming towards him, they had to appear in front of him first.
Da da da!
The increasingly dense sound of horse hooves sounded like drums on a battlefield, urging the two men to launch an offensive.
Everyone's breathing became faster and faster.
Smiling Maitreya opened his eyes and put down the hand on his chest.
Tu Wanfang suddenly started to move, kicking his limbs on the ground, and launched an offensive towards his prey like a cheetah!
Da da da!
The sound of Tu Wanfang's limbs hitting the ground actually coincided with the sound of horse's hooves, but the speed of his movement was definitely not comparable to that of the horse that came from afar!
Smiling Maitreya did not take any response.
Da da da!
The man and his horse rushed straight towards Xiao and Tu, with a gap of thirty feet still between them.
Tu Wanfang was only five feet away from the smiling Maitreya!
The smiling Maitreya remained motionless!
"Is this guy really dying?" The Ghost Demon Queen was a little unbelievable when she saw this. There is no deep hatred between the temples and the Tusita Gang, but they had never had many small and large interactions. The Ghost Demon Queen also once had a close relationship with Xiaomian. Maitreya had fought against each other no less than three times, and each time she could feel that Smiling Maitreya was stronger than the last time. But now, Smiling Maitreya could fight Tu Wanfang back and forth, but she couldn't hold it together. Not too surprised.
Seeing that this person who can be said to be the undisputed leader of the evil sect actually stood on the same front as them and the righteous people in the world, and stepped forward unyieldingly, the ghostly enchantress realized the irony and started to rush forward.
There were three or four people who moved one step faster than her.
Xie Fei of Buji Island, who has been inseparable from the Tushita Gang recently, took the lead, followed closely by Master Qingku.
Everyone knew that no matter how fast they were, they could not help Smiling Maitreya block the current blow, and they could only hope that Smiling Maitreya could survive until they rushed over before he died.
Da da da!
Everyone had no time to care about the visitors who were getting closer and closer. All their attention was focused on Xiao and Tu.
The increasingly rapid and clear sound of horse hooves sounded to everyone's ears more like a drum beating alone for the smiling Maitreya.
clatter!
When Tu Wanfang was still three feet away from the smiling Maitreya, he jumped up and imitated Master Qingku, using himself as a meteorite to hit his opponent!
clatter!
In the midst of the electric light and stone fire, Smiling Maitreya stood up, secretly clasped his hands, and brought up the earth and rocks within a ten-foot radius to slap towards Tu Wanfang like a wave!
Boom!
No one saw what was happening between the waves of earth and rocks, only a dull crashing sound could be heard.
Jiang Yichen raised his eyebrows, as if he recognized the sound of a bell.
Roar!
The earth and rocks gradually fell, but Tu Wanfang roared and leaped up to a height of three feet, raised his hands high above his head like a hammer, and smashed down hard!
Everyone realized that there seemed to be some missing noise, and then they saw a black shadow shoot out from the sky, and a hand as white as jade, shining in the morning light, stretched out from under the black robe and pressed it down on Tu Wanfang's head!
boom!
After all the earth and rocks fell, Master Qingku led by Xie Fei and several others rushed behind Smiling Maitreya and saw Tu Wanfang's head being held down and firmly pressed into the mud!
Smiling Maitreya's face was pale, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth.
The black-robed man who single-handedly suppressed Tu Wanfang was half-kneeling on the ground, with his hood turned back and his broken hair tied into pigtails. His face was wearing a mask of the Jade-faced Tathagata. Under the mask was a pair of Shining triangular eyes.
It seems that he is even younger than his age, which shows that his skills are astonishing when he appears on the stage.
Xie Fei and others didn't know what to say for a moment.
Many of those who were further away could not digest the shocking changes in front of them, failed to recover, and fell into deathly silence.
Smiling Maitreya seemed to be very familiar with this person. With the support of Shadow Buddha, he stood up coughing and said with a hoarse voice with a smile: "You are here."
The masked young man also smiled and replied: "I'm coming."
Smiling Maitreya said in a slightly relaxed tone: "With you here, a lot of people will die less."
The masked young man looked around at the miserable situation, shook his head and said: "We traveled through the starry night and rushed forward, but it seems we have arrived a little late."
"The fact that you can come is a tribute to the Zhongzhou Wulin."
"No, don't promote me like this, I can't stand it."
"Only that person can lift out this stubborn donkey like you."
"Stubborn donkey is a fair statement."
"Did that person teach you how to deal with this freak?"
"The man said that if even you can't do anything, then it's best for everyone to break up and run for their lives now. The less one dies, the less one will die."
Listening to an old man and a young man chatting and playing charades, several people, except Shadow Buddha, frowned frequently. It was inappropriate to interrupt their chatting, but when they heard that others didn't seem to be delaying their business, they seemed to be discussing countermeasures. The atmosphere was a little too relaxed and even weird, and I didn’t know how to interrupt.
I heard Smiling Maitreya sigh and say: "I just figured out a way, I'm not sure of it, I can only give it a try."
The masked young man put another hand on the back of Tu Wanfang's head and said, "Then stop talking, this guy is restless!"
Smiling Maitreya said: "The mud is too soft. I suggest you move to a harder place. It's best to find three more people with extraordinary arm strength to control Tu Wanfang with this kid."
These words of Smiling Maitreya were obviously directed at Master Qingku, Ghost Enchantress and others. His method required the work and efforts of these righteous experts from Zhongzhou.
Master Qingku was the first to express his position: "Amitabha, if the donor has a way, just tell me. I am willing to be a pawn!"
The ghostly enchantress said, "I'll organize the manpower."
The masked young man suddenly interrupted and said urgently: "Okay, okay, hurry up and get ready, I can't hold this guy down anymore!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone around him felt the soil beneath their feet surge like a tide.
Immediately afterwards, Tu Wanfang raised his head from the masked young man's hand and lifted the entire earth bed attached to him from the ground!
