Dou Qianli was about to continue speaking when he found the Taoist priest still standing nearby. While feeling strange, I also felt annoyed.
Xu Jinlin also glanced at the Taoist priest, feeling wary in his heart.
When the Taoist priest came before, he naturally noticed it. But after being driven away by Dou Qianli, he thought this person was gone. Unexpectedly, after talking for a long time, he was still standing beside me. As for the two people talking, no one seemed to be paying attention.
If he were in Di Sheng Qian Continent, he would have the intention of silencing him. But considering that this is a green island, it’s better not to create any complications.
"Taoist Priest, please leave." Xu Jinlin looked into the Taoist priest's eyes, "We are talking nonsense after drinking, Taoist Priest, don't take it seriously."
The Taoist priest said: "My little friend has great luck and is not just an object in the pond. This gentleman's seal is shining brightly, which is also the head of good luck. However, great luck must lead to great disasters, and the poor Taoist intends to resolve it for you two. If you are willing, you can follow Pindao goes somewhere."
Xu Jinlin looked at the Taoist priest and suddenly felt his heart pounding. Instinctively, I wanted to agree, but I felt it was too strange, so I held back and didn't speak.
Dou Qianli looked impatient and threw out a piece of silver. "I'll give you the money. You don't need it to resolve it. Don't stop us from drinking."
The Taoist priest took the silver, glanced at Dou Qianli, and said, "It's only three times. There will be no next time."
Dou Qianli rolled his eyes. "Are you done? Just leave quickly when you're done."
The Taoist priest smiled, put the silver back on the table, turned and left.
The two of them looked at the Taoist priest's back until he disappeared into the crowd on the street.
"These charlatan sorcerers are becoming more and more ruthless." Dou Qianli turned his gaze back to Xu Jinlin. "Where were we talking about just now?"
"Fourteenth dock." Xu Jinlin said.
"Oh, by the way, Shishiwu, that's where I met you...According to what you just said, you are simply a prince in Qianzhou. Then why did you get arrested when I saw you? prisoner?"
"Uncle Hou passed away in the tenth year after I returned to Qianzhou, and the successor was Liu Jian." Xu Jinlin clenched his fists.
"Liu Jian has the same hidden disease as Uncle Guo. Using Qi rashly will shorten his lifespan. But he and Uncle Guo are not the same kind of people. He doesn't want to live casually. He wants to do as much as possible in his limited life. Uncle Hou When I was here, I could still suppress him. But Uncle Hou passed away..."
"I've heard of this person." Dou Qianli frowned, "He should be dead, right?"
"He died, at the hands of my parents." Xu Jinlin said, "When Uncle Hou passed away, he led his men to attack Huiyan Town, trying to occupy the water wall of Broken Lake, and the world was in chaos. The other leaders went into seclusion. , my parents came forward to mediate..."
Xu Jinlin bit his lip, poured a glass of wine and drank it. "Liu Jian pretended to accept the mediation and tricked my parents into going there in the name of paying homage to Uncle Hou. But he secretly set up an ambush and lured them into the beast's sound cave. Liu Jian died of exhaustion, and my parents were never heard from again."
"Kid, this is Jianghu." Dou Qianli sighed and filled his glass of wine. "But I still don't understand what you want me to help you with."
"I would like to ask you to accept me as your disciple." Xu Jinlin said.
"Get out!" Dou Qianli was angry. "I don't have the ability to avenge you."
"Liu Jian is dead. I have no enemies now." Xu Jinlin said. "Including Fourteenth Ward, although I have been locked up by them, I have no hatred in my heart."
"What about your parents?" Dou Qianli asked.
"It is said that the Beast Sound Stone Cave was left by immortals. My parents may not die in it." Xu Jinlin replied, "When I return to Qianzhou one day, I will definitely rescue them."
"Whatever you do, don't count on me." Dou Qianli gave advice. "You can go to your uncles who are in seclusion. Which one of them is worse than me?"
"They can't." Xu Jinlin's expression was calm. "If I go back, they will all be my enemies. I can't use Qianzhou's martial arts to change the world of Qianzhou."
Dou Qianli blinked, picked up the wine bottle and smelled it. "This wine isn't very strong. Is this too much?"
"Qianzhou has never been stable. Whether it was the legendary catastrophe decades ago or Liu Jian a few years ago, they were not the cause of the turmoil. The real root cause was the Jianghu." Xu Jinlin did not look like he was joking at all.
"My parents and several uncles once thought that with their strength, they could maintain the stability of the world. But they forgot that they could not represent everyone. And there was not no competition among them. Uncle Ho was eager to seek success, enlightenment and judgment. Lake, I just don’t want to be second to others.”
"The Indestructible King of the Great Village"
Dou Qianli said: "There are also rivers and lakes in Qingzhou."
"It's different." Xu Jinlin said: "Qianzhou is a world of warriors, and swords decide everything. It's obviously similar to Qingzhou, but it doesn't even have a decent city. Qingzhou's rivers and lakes compete for fame and fortune, but it won't be like Qianzhou. Influence the world."
Dou Qianli looked at Xu Jinlin strangely: "You kid, don't you want to establish a country in Qianzhou?"
"I have thought about it, but it is too difficult." Xu Jinlin said, "In the history of Qianzhou, it is not that no one has tried, but they have all failed. Because Qianzhou is a world dominated by Jianghu people, no sect can tolerate the emergence of a dynasty."
"Then what do you want to do?" Dou Qianli asked.
"I haven't thought about the details yet," Xu Jinlin said, "But no matter what I do, strength is the most basic thing. Therefore, I must become stronger, stronger than everyone else."
"It's good to be young and have ideals." Dou Qianli sighed, picked up the wine bottle and wanted to pour wine, but found that it was empty, so he picked up the wine bottle and stood up.
"Sit down first and I'll fill up the glass of wine."
He sympathized with Xu Jinlin, but did not agree with this ideal.
At his age, he has experienced countless storms and waves, and has seen many things no matter how miserable they are. As a man who missed the chance of immortality twice, there really wasn't anything that caught his eye.
Dou Qianli left temporarily under the pretense of buying more wine, wanting Xu Jinlin to be alone first.
Young people tend to get carried away easily when they are impulsive. When they calm down, they realize that they are stupid.
When I got up, I picked up the money on the table. The Taoist priest just didn't want it, so I just used it to buy wine and pay the bill.
But when I got the money, I suddenly felt something was wrong. He opened his palms and took a look, his whole body was stunned.
Not silver, but leaves.
Green, emerald, and glowing.
A leaf that made him look very, very familiar and unforgettable.
"Master Dou, what's wrong with you?" Xu Jinlin asked casually when he saw Dou Qianli standing there trembling. When I saw the leaf in my hand, I was even more curious, "What is this leaf?"
"Well...it's nothing." Dou Qianli calmed down and looked outside fiercely. The crowd was surging, but there was no Taoist priest anywhere. He put the leaves back into his arms and sat back on the chair shakily.
I felt a little exhausted because I couldn't stand still.
Xu Jinlin didn't pay attention to these abnormalities and was still immersed in his own thoughts.
"I have been very unhappy in the years since my parents took me back to Qianzhou. It is difficult to see people I know well. My parents, including my parents, are all crazy about martial arts." Xu Jinlin said in a faint tone. .
"I, a person who has not studied martial arts, am completely alien. I miss my childhood in Qingzhou, and I want to change everything in Qianzhou. When I was imprisoned in the Fourteenth Dock, I was in despair. But you rescued me, and I I feel like God gave me a chance..."
“When you see an opportunity, you must seize it!
"Dou Qianli gritted his teeth. "If you miss it, there will be no more. "
"Yes, although it seems slim..."
"So what if it's slim, the key is not to miss it." Dou Qianli gasped.
"What did you miss?" Xu Jinlin didn't quite understand. "I mean, the world in Qianzhou is too complicated, and everyone is crazy about martial arts. If you want to fundamentally change the old ideas, there is no good way."
"What can I do? It's useless if I don't have a good brain..." Dou Qianli's eyes were blurred and his words were incoherent. "It's better to smash my brain to pieces. Turn it into a lake of slurry, and maybe a new one will grow."
"What do you mean, do you mean to stand up after breaking up?" Xu Jinlin's eyes flashed.
"Yes, since change is difficult, why not just break it? Use Jianghu means to destroy this Jianghu, and then tear everything down and start over. But even if the world can be unified, how can we prevent future generations from making the same mistakes again?"
"The descendants...the descendants may have this opportunity." Dou Qianli was confused now. He touched the green leaves in his arms, full of regret and decadence.
"My old bones are of no use anymore, so let's pave the way for future generations. Let them accept my lessons and not make the same mistakes again."
"Yes, paving the way... What I want to do is not for this world, but for the future. In this case, I will use my bones to pave the way. Whether it is a devil or a disaster, I will stand up after breaking!" Xu Jinlin's eyes became brighter and brighter. .
"Even if there will be no shortage of blood and fighting in the future, there will be a relatively peaceful world in the world of rivers and lakes. What Qianzhou needs is not Xu Jinlin, let alone a savior. But a demon who can subvert the world and make people wake up and understand the evil of the world. "
"What are you talking about?" Dou Qianli came back to his senses and glanced at Xu Jinlin, who was not normal. "Or...what did I say?"
…
There are warriors who are righteous and heroic, and they travel the world chivalrously. The noble man knew his name and gave him gold and silver treasures, but the warrior refused. Three gifts from noble people, three words from warriors. The noble man praised him and said that he was a hero without being paid or greedy.
