In order to create a contrasting effect, I would like to mention a kind of person here.
That's the kind of person who never thinks deeply or analyzes the pros and cons when encountering problems, completely ignores the possible serious consequences, and dares to act recklessly based on his own ambition and passion... Yes, this sounds very much like Ling Linhan (formerly) people.
It's not that what such people do is necessarily bad. After all, when things are completed successfully, their story sounds like a heroic deed of a passionate young man who was ridiculed by thousands of ordinary people but still moved forward bravely.
And when such "successful people" are written into novels and biographies, they are often more popular than successful people who are cunning, deliberate, and step-by-step.
Because they symbolize the power to break away from the shackles of the world and the extraordinary and persevering character.
Instead of climbing up to a high position in the midst of compromises with the world and hypocrisy.
They press forward, bravely conquer the world, never give in, and eventually become famous - people aspire to them - they are the "protagonists" of the story.
At the same time, praising them seems to separate oneself from the category of "all living beings" and gives "readers" the pleasure of being "different".
However, the premise of all this is...
They succeeded.
Otherwise, we collectively refer to these middle school boys as:
Silly X.
Well, this description does not sound good. Of course, I personally am not likely to evaluate a reckless person who does bad things with good intentions in real life.
But I can't deny that when I meet certain people and do certain things, at that moment, oh...that's what I think in my heart.
I just have the courage to speak out.
After all, if you do bad things with good intentions, you will do bad things. Not everyone has the mind of a Holy Mother to tolerate or even teach a person who has repeatedly made big mistakes due to impulse.
Especially, in real life, such people often do not succeed in the end.
And Ling Yao obviously does not belong to this group of people.
He is the kind of person who thinks deeply, analyzes and weighs the pros and cons, considers various possibilities and consequences, and often even leaves several escape routes for himself...
However, sometimes there are still people who are hot-headed and make the worst choice but what they want most.
Although someone often excuses himself by saying, "People always have to have some blood in order to live a real life"...
But Qiu Tianming and others still liked to scold him.
——"You are the one you are talking about, isn't it?", "You don't have a lot of brains", "You just want to make my beard turn white", "If you are not good at learning, you have to learn it from your senior brother", "Go away Put it in confinement."
Of course, the tone and thoughts and emotions here are completely different from those mentioned before.
Because even if it was the worst choice, when he made the choice, he was ready to bear all the responsibilities and consequences.
When it is mapped on something, that is...
"I won't bother the Naxi tribe with the aftermath work."
Suddenly, there was a vague and uncertain sound coming from the jungle.
Gu Mingtai, who was standing outside the battle, leisurely watching the others beating up Ling Linhan, suddenly became alert and looked around.
Before I saw the person, I heard his voice first. After all, Gu Mingtai was also at the peak of Danyang, and he knew as soon as he heard that the successor was anything but ordinary.
In particular, he mentioned "the aftermath"... Doesn't that mean...
When those people who were fighting with Ling Linhan heard this voice, their movements slowed down a bit, and they focused on guarding against a sneak attack.
"but……!"
Swish——!
The sound of someone moving quickly through the trees.
Huhu——
The sound of air swirling by.
Gu Mingtai raised his head following the sound of the wind and saw a black boot suddenly falling from the sky!
"you!"
Boom!
The thick sole stepped on his face.
Gu Mingtai was caught off guard, his head hit the ground and he fell straight down.
"You can come and 'see' me now."
Ling Yao leaned over with a smile on his face, looked down at his feet, and the horrified and twisted face at his feet, and whispered softly,
"Don't say again that I didn't give you a chance."
When the masked man who was originally fighting with Ling Linhan saw this, he immediately turned around and rushed towards Ling Yao.
Although Ling Yao had his back to the opponent, he could still sense the opponent's quick movements.
But he did not look back. Instead, he moved the edge of the Chengying Sword towards Gu Mingtai's neck without any haste:
"Little brother, don't be so angry. I'm timid, I can't help but threaten and scare, and I can easily get slippery."
The masked man stopped immediately and looked at him with squinted eyes:
"Who are you? Do you know what you are doing now?"
This is a rude tone.
But Ling Yao didn’t take it seriously:
"The young leader of the Naxi tribe, the 'future priest'~ I just heard it. Don't be nervous, he's not dead yet.
"But it all... doesn't matter. I just can't stand him, he stole my prey, and blatantly used my name to 'rightfully' take it for himself; and he ordered my accomplices to be killed at the slightest disagreement. Ah no, it’s a companion. And ah…”
Ling Yao suddenly turned his head, looked at the masked man, pointed at his neck, alluding to the pattern on the other person's neck:
"Is this poison? I despise people who use this kind of thing to control others. Since you are being coerced, don't get involved. You are so dedicated to your duties, I thought you were really this guy's dog."
The masked man subconsciously touched his neck and did not answer.
Ling Yao obviously didn't intend to listen to what the other party said. Instead, he straightened up, fiddled with the tassel on the hilt of his sword, and continued to answer the other party's question:
"As for who I am...I am!
"I don't want to change my name, I don't want to change my surname. I am the direct disciple of Yueyao Peak of Changling Jianmen - Ling Yao!"
After Ling Yao finished speaking, he raised his head, glanced left and right, and asked particularly arrogantly:
"How are you? Are you scared?"
Gu Mingtai:?
Masked Man:?
Ling Linhan:? ? ?
What about the anonymity promised? ! Why did you change your identity? ! Your skull is broken! ! !
Of course Ling Yao is not out of his mind.
Of course, he still likes a certain little kid a little more than the brat who learns to be good slowly, compared to the bratty goose who is aggressive and scumbag.
Well, a little bit.
If you talk about bullying men and dominating women, it is just a one-sided statement made by a brat;
Then steal his trophies, inexplicably kill Ling Linhan, his temporary "accomplice", and plant poison on people...
That's what Ling Yao saw personally.
This kind of person has done something wrong in front of him and on himself - it's not like he is incompetent, why doesn't he come out and step on it?
Besides, a few days ago, he was still thinking about finding an opportunity to hug the "protagonist", but now he just stood by and watched... What else was he hugging and looking for!
Of course, the moment he jumped out, he had already thought of all the countermeasures to protect himself.
"You...don't try to lie! How could someone from Changling Jianmen come to Liuchuan alone!
"You're still hanging out with this brat from the Anqi tribe! One look... I can tell you are in the same group!!"
The fat man who always followed Gu Mingtai was frightened by the situation in front of him. He didn't care that his master was still at his feet, and just wanted to embolden himself, shouting at the top of his lungs.
The masked man reacted after hearing this.
Although this guy who calls himself "Ling Yao" may have been guarding nearby for a long time, the timing of his appearance is too coincidental. He was rescuing Ling Linhan from the siege. Maybe he is actually a group of people.
However, at this time, it was obviously too late to turn around and use Ling Linhan to coerce the opponent.
Because that kid was very slippery, he had already taken the opportunity to run next to Ling Yao and squat down on the purple-feathered terror claw.
Ling Yao was quite speechless at Ling Linhan's deft handling of the Deinonychus at this time. He twitched his lips, and finally decided not to take advantage of "one of his own" for the time being, and turned to look at the others. :
"I've said it all, it's up to you whether you believe it or not. You who stole my things and beat me should pay some price, right?
"But...I am not an unreasonable person, and I have no intention of taking anyone's life for this matter."
Then he faced the resentful look of a certain kid and continued:
"The current situation is just to prevent you from causing trouble. When we collect our belongings, I will naturally let you leave in perfect condition.
"But if you persist in your stubbornness... then consider the consequences of provoking Changling Sword Sect!"
The masked man frowned, but finally made no move.
He was not worried that they would get into trouble with Changling Jianmen because of this.
——In fact, he didn’t really think that the arrogant and arrogant guy in front of him was a member of the Changling Sword Sect.
But the fact now is that they have Gu Mingtai as a hostage, and they can only listen to each other's words and act.
And this "Ling Yao"... although his aura was very erratic, it was not even as strong as his own.
But his keen intuition told him that even if he tried his best, he couldn't beat this man!
Ordinarily, it was Gu Mingtai himself who was unkind in this matter, and it was normal for the other party to cause some trouble.
He couldn't save Gu Mingtai now, so he had to wait for the other party to fulfill his promise.
Ling Linhan moved very quickly, cutting the Deinonychus into eight pieces in three strokes, putting the large pieces of meat into the storage bag, and then turned his attention to Ling Yao.
This look probably carries complex meanings such as "Are you a fool?" "Hurry up when I'm done." "I want to see what you do next."
So Ling Yao... well, he didn't get it at all.
But he finally moved his shoes away from Gu Mingtai's face, and patted Gu Mingtai's face very "kindly":
"I'm really sorry. I don't look that good. Don't let me get trampled by you. Then my sin will be huge."
Gu Mingtai was so angry that his veins were bulging, but his life was in someone else's hands and he didn't even dare to breathe.
Seeing Ling Yao pointing at the people in the hunting team with his thumb, Gu Mingtai yelled at his people angrily:
"What are you doing! Make way for this master of Jianmen! Do you still want to block the master's way?"
The people in the hunting team were already wary of rats, but after hearing Gu Mingtai's words, they naturally dispersed and retreated with a clatter.
Ling Yao was not polite, clamped his sword around Gu Mingtai's neck, and pulled him up from the ground:
"Excuse me, the 'future priest', he has to be a hostage for a while, so that we can leave smoothly..."
With that said, he pulled Gu Mingtai towards the road where everyone was getting out of the way.
However, at this moment, Ling Linhan, who was following closely behind, suddenly turned his head, looked at the jungle behind him, and stretched out his hand to push Ling Yao's back:
"Dongxu Peak! He was the one who chased me back then!"
Before he finished speaking, a white-haired and black-robed figure suddenly emerged from the jungle.
The old man was filled with murderous intent and his eyes were ferocious. He shouted at Ling Yao and the two of them:
"You little thieves, if you dare to ignore the majesty of our Naxi village and bully the people of the Naxi tribe, you will die quickly!"
When Gu Mingtai saw this, his gloomy face that was originally humiliated and forbearing immediately turned away, and changed back to the look of arrogant teeth and claws:
"Lao Qiu! Lao Qiu, save me! How dare he insult me like this! You must make him look good!"
Ling Yao felt his temples jump.
Not to mention that this old man was in a similar realm to his own, even if he was in the Yipuxian realm here, if Ling Yao was really determined to kill him, Gu Mingtai would still have to explain it here.
Where did he get the courage to ask that "Old Qiu" to do something to him at this time?
And he already said that he would be released later... Why bother... It's not good to beat and kill, what if some flowers and plants are hurt... Forget about the crooked building.
Ling Yao glanced at Ling Linhan and said to him, "You go first."
Looking at Ling Linhan's hesitant escape, Ling Yao raised his Shadow Bearing Sword to the white-haired old man:
"Want to deal with me? Are you not going to care about the life or death of your young village leader?"
But contrary to Gu Mingtai's expectations, Mr. Qiu released a green poison dart from his robe without hesitation and rushed towards Ling Yao:
"If you take action, you will have to keep your life! And Gu Feng has more than one son!"
"No! Mr. Qiu! Those guys are simply not worthy of their responsibilities! Only I, only I can be the leader of the village! Mr. Qiu! You have to save me! I am the 'priest candidate' of the Naxi Village!"
Ling Yao squinted at Gu Mingtai who was crying without any image, but he didn't miss the hint of secret joy that suddenly appeared in his eyes.
He just didn't know, but he smiled and said:
"You Naxi people are also unreasonable. You don't even know what's going on, but you want to take people's lives. But I am not a person who likes to be threatened.
"Since you said so, I have no choice but to help them reduce the pain of brotherly feuding."
After saying that, the Chengying Sword turned quickly like the pages of a book and cut Gu Mingtai's throat backwards.
Soon enough, as soon as Ling Yao raised his sword, Qiu Lao's two poison darts flew in front of him.
Chengying Sword had no choice but to change direction and fall towards the poison dart.
when! when!
The sword body collided with the poison dart, making two crisp sounds in succession.
But Qiu Lao had already rushed in front of him, the poison dart whirling and stabbing Ling Yao's sword hand.
Ling Yao frowned and pulled Gu Mingtai away, about to deal with Qiu Lao.
However, at this time, Gu Mingtai, who had been reduced to a puddle of mud with fear, became energetic. A strange light emitted from his body, and a cold light pierced Ling Yao's heart!
Ling Yao suddenly showed an expression of unexpected panic, but he couldn't avoid it and was directly hit by the cold light!
"Haha! How could a noble person like me not have a magic weapon for self-defense? Ignorance!"
Seeing that he had succeeded in the sneak attack, Gu Mingtai immediately dodged away from Ling Yao, retreated behind Qiu Lao, and began to talk nonsense.
"You are just a frog in the well of Anqi Village, and you dare to claim to be the direct descendant of Changling Sword Sect! Shameless!"
"Wow, there is even such a magic weapon. Naxi Village is really powerful."
"That's natural! We Naxi...what!"
Gu Mingtai turned around suddenly. But that Qiu Lao didn't know when he had already set his sights on a tall tree not far away.
But I saw a certain salted fish sitting on a tree branch, shaking his legs with a contented expression:
"It's amazing. Even such a big fool can become the young master of the village. It's really amazing!"
After saying that, Ling Yao blinked and snapped his fingers at Gu Mingtai.
Snapped--
"I have to express my small respect for the Naxi tribe, don't I?"
