The second floor of the underground lake is much livelier than three years ago. There are many people gathered in the corridor, but most of their faces have expressions of indifference or hatred.
Many small stalls are piled up haphazardly, many people are sleeping everywhere, and there is garbage and even feces everywhere.
Two people wearing black cloaks passed through the people sleeping and lying on the ground. The person in front lowered his head, and the brim of the cloak was pressed very low, and moved forward silently. The person behind him was shaking and shaking. He pushed against other people passing by, and occasionally cursed in a low and hoarse voice. He asked vaguely: "Are you there, are you there?"
"I'm asking you something!" The man asked several times without getting a response. He suddenly strode forward, grabbed the wrist of the man in front of him, pulled him close to him, and roared: "I'm asking you something - —”
"I...I didn't hear...Master..." The man in front responded in panic.
"Didn't you hear?" The man who scolded angrily slapped the person who responded on the cheek, knocking him to the ground.
The beaten man slowly struggled to get up, and the cloak covering his head had fallen off. His face was green and haggard, and his lips were gray and cracked. His left ear was deformed, and his hearing seemed to be somewhat damaged.
The corners of his mouth were still bloodshot, and his cheeks were red and swollen after being slapped; the joints of the ten knuckles of his hands seemed to have suffered many injuries, but had not been properly treated, so that they were somewhat twisted and deformed;
The corners of his eyes were bruised and swollen, he could not open them widely, and his eyes were dull and dull.
He is Gongsun Yao.
The person who beat him was Li Yue.
Li Yue tilted his head and glared at Gongsun Yao angrily, his mouth slightly open, gray saliva dripping from his mouth, and his eyes were also gray.
"Master, it's my fault. I will listen to you carefully in the future..." Gongsun Yao hurriedly stepped forward, supported Li Yue, reached out and took out a cloth from his arms, and wiped the saliva from Li Yue's mouth.
They moved forward step by step. Li Yue took a long step and bumped into a rushing man on his shoulder. The man seemed to have a bad temper. He spat on Li Yue's face, but Li Yue looked at him blankly. He asked: "What do you do..."
"Where did you come from?" The man laughed, and reached out to slap Li Yue, but his arm suddenly went soft, tingling and painful. It turned out that it was Gongsun Yao on the side who touched his arm with his finger.
"Master, it's okay, it's just a fly. Don't be angry, we will be there soon..." Gongsun Yao took out a cloth and wiped the saliva from Li Yue's face. He turned to the man and said: "My master is not in good health, please don't embarrass him..."
"Where did you two guys come from?" The man snorted and punched Gongsun Yao on the cheek. After Gongsun Yao was hit by the punch, his head shook exaggeratedly, then he stood still and smiled bitterly: "Brother, are you relieved of your anger?"
"Haha, can't this man fight back?" The man looked like he was full of resentment. When he met Gongsun Yao, he was like a hungry leopard seeing a lamb. He snorted and said: "I'm so angry, but it can't go away so easily. You two kneel down and kowtow to me three times!"
"Brother, I have to knock you unconscious, otherwise you will die if you talk like this again..." Gongsun Yao sighed and stepped forward slowly.
The man was stunned at first, then laughed loudly, then swung his fist and hit Gongsun Yao on the face. Gongsun Yao still twisted his head in an exaggerated way, but he seemed not to be hurt at all, and he didn't even feel any pain. The man smiled bitterly and raised his right hand. The ring finger and little finger of his right hand were twisted, and only the index finger and middle finger could be straightened.
The man took a step back. The arm he had just hit by Gongsun Yao was still numb and painful. He didn't dare to punch anymore, so he raised his foot and kicked Gongsun Yao's waist.
Gongsun Yao pointed out two points, and with lightning speed, he stabbed the man's leg twice. He only heard the man scream, and he was about to collapse in a flash.
Gongsun Yao leaned forward slightly, about to go up and chop the man's neck, but suddenly a huge force came from behind him. Gongsun Yao was shocked and stepped aside, but the huge force was extremely fast, and it was Li Yue who came out fiercely. One kick, on the man's chest.
The man flew out, hit the earth wall with his back, and fell to the ground. Blood was pouring from his mouth, but his eyes were still open.
"Master!" Gongsun Yao was horrified and quickly pulled Li Yue to go ahead, not daring to check whether the man was dead or alive.
Shortly after parting ways with Wei Jing, Gongsun Yao worshiped Li Yue as his master in Baidiewu Village. He practiced swordsmanship and martial arts hard every day, and felt quite comfortable calling Zhou Zhang and others brothers.
But half a year later, the elderly Granny Jiang passed away. From then on, Li Yue's madness worsened, his temper became sinister and eccentric, and he frequently punched and kicked Gongsun Yao, Zhou Zhang and others.
Zhou Zhang and others began to avoid Li Yue and no longer recognized him as their master. Only Gongsun Yao remained at his side for three years.
The residents of Baidiewu Village initially tolerated Li Yue because he had brought many disasters to the village. However, as time went by, Li Yue injured as many as eighty residents if not a hundred. Gongsun Yao even more He has become a street rat, and not a day goes by without being scolded by others, which makes him feel extremely painful.
A year ago, his master and apprentice quietly left Baidiewu Village and wandered among several nearby rural towns.
Gongsun Yao occasionally worked odd jobs to take care of Li Yue.
Sometimes Li Yue was silent, sometimes he cried bitterly, and sometimes he was furious. When he was angry, it could be a slap at the least, or punches and kicks at the worst.
Gongsun Yao had been hurt in many ways. At first he would cry secretly in the middle of the night, but then he stopped crying. He just hoped that the conference of divine soldiers who would break through the Heavenly Gate would come soon, and he wanted to finish the last thing in his life. .
In this spring season, they returned to the underground lake and headed towards the ground floor.
As they walked, there seemed to be some disputes ahead. Gongsun Yao was worried about arousing Li Yue's anger again, so he took the initiative to talk to Li Yue, trying to distract him: "Master, before we go to the Tianmen General Altar, shouldn't we? Prepare your weapons first?"
Li Yue tilted his head, seemingly not listening to Gongsun Yao's words. After a long while, he turned back and asked, "What did you say to me?"
Gongsun Yao repeated it again, but Li Yue didn't respond and just said yes.
The two of them passed by the disputed area in front of them and saw a group of people stopping to watch the chaotic scene. Gongsun Yao almost screamed, but he still endured it. He looked at the few people in the crowd in shock. .
An old man couldn't stop breathing. He was holding a sharp knife in one hand and pinching a man's neck with the other hand. He glared fiercely at the men who crowded around him. This old man was a fool.
Gongsun Yao didn't know Shui Bantian, but he recognized the tall, dark man in front of Shui Bantian - Fan Jun.
Fan Jun was darker and stronger than three years ago, and his face also had a bit of vicissitudes of life. He said word by word to Shui Bantian: "Senior Shui, put down your knife and come with me to the patrol room. I will never embarrass you."
Shui Bantian shouted angrily: "Fart - lackey, lackey, you lackey, get out of here, or I will kill this guy with one knife!"
Gongsun Yao was stunned. He saw Fan Jun with a crutch tied on his back and a knife on his waist. It was the saber of the patrol officers and soldiers.
Gongsun Yao was a little happy. It turned out that Fan Jun had somehow become a patrol officer and was now going to the lake to arrest people. He really wanted to say hello to Fan Jun, but Li Yue beside him was impatient and asked hurriedly. He said: "What happened? What are those people doing? Is there a fight... Why don't you come to me when you fight?"
"It's not a fight, it's just watching the girl get married..." Gongsun Yao shook his head and helped Li Yue to take a detour. It would be very troublesome if Li Yue went over and caused trouble.
Gongsun Yao walked for a long time and turned around. Although there were many people watching, he could still see Fan Jun's tall back, so he murmured in a low voice: "Thank you three years ago, my friend."
Fan Jun didn't hear what Gongsun Yao said. He looked at Shui silently for a long time and listened to Shui curse for a long time before speaking again: "Senior Shui, if you don't let him go, I will have to take action."
"You lackey! You worked for Chuangtianmen, captured Lao Xu, captured Aunt Zhang, and now you're here to capture me. No one in your Bawang Inn is good, they are all lackeys. I misjudged you, and so did Xiao Wei I misjudged you. Do you have the nerve to see Xiao Wei? Humph, I understand—" Shui Bantian roared angrily. He glared, pointed the sharp knife at Fan Jun, and scolded sternly: "Three years ago, Xiao Wei and you We rushed to the Chuang Tianmen Divine Soldiers Conference together, and there was no news about him after that. However, you became a police officer in the government patrol room. With the protection of Chuang Tianmen, you were free and easy. Tell me, what did you do to Xiao Wei? Did you betray him? "
Several patrol officers and soldiers beside Fan Jun cursed: "Old man, shut up." "Put down your knife!"
Fan Jun raised his hand to stop his companions. He took a deep breath and said, "Senior Shui, my surname is Fan. I don't have lofty ambitions or great talents, but I will never betray my friends. I don’t know where Wei has gone, and I miss him very much.”
"You are full of lies -" Shui Bantian yelled angrily, the sharp knife pointed at Fan Jun trembling with anger.
