"Wait!"
The members of the Dragon Slaying Society who were about to step forward to fight stopped in response. Only Tan Feng had a heart for revenge and stabbed Liu Gaosheng with a sword that was difficult to recover.
Liu Gaosheng glanced towards the place where the sound came from, and saw a dozen people leading horses from the roadside. Walking at the front were an old man and a young man. Liu Gaosheng recognized them as Master Zhizhi's master and disciple, and he was immediately overjoyed. With a wild dance of the knife, Tan Feng was forced back.
Liu Qing jumped three to five feet in a vertical step, landed three to five feet in front of Tan Feng, and asked: "Who are you? How dare you ignore the king's law and commit murder with a sword in broad daylight. Who gave you such courage? "
When Tan Feng saw that Liu Qing was only in her early twenties and spoke so wildly, he wanted to teach her a lesson and stabbed him with his sword quickly.
Liu Qing's sword was unsheathed, and the scabbard was pointed at Tan Feng's sword point. He swallowed the sword in one gulp, and at the same time slashed at Tan Feng's wrist.
The sky has unpredictable events, and people have misfortunes and blessings. Tan Feng's hand fell off before he could reach it, and blood spurted out from his wrist. Fortunately, Liu Qing dodged in time and was not about to be splashed with blood.
Seeing Liu Qing's fierce and ruthless attacks, many men who were not as skilled as Tan Feng seemed to be frightened and trembled in the sun.
Ximen Qing, Gui Haiming, Ning Zhen'an, Yang Yunfeng, Liu Yunyu and other traitors from the Dragon Slaying Society tied their horses and followed Master Mingzhi. Seeing that most of the thirty or so Dragon Slaying Society members knew each other, they couldn't help but feel pity. The thought of persuading surrender.
Ning Zhenan stepped forward and said: "Everyone, you have been joining the Dragon Slaying Association for a long time. Although you have done all kinds of ugly things for the Dragon Slaying Association, you have always regarded yourself as a knight and hero. Now the Dragon Slaying will throw you out and let you Showing your true face to others is just that the Dragon Slaying Society has reached the edge of destruction and wants to struggle to the death. I think you are also the victims of the Dragon Slaying Society. Why don’t you abandon evil and do good from now on, and join the righteous people in the world to fight for the annihilation of the Dragon Slaying Society. Do your part to atone for past sins.”
A man walked out from the Dragon Slaying Society's congregation, about forty-five or six years old, with a very upright appearance. He shouted: "Ning Zhenan, you betrayed your eldest brother Bai Yu twenty years ago, and now you betray the Dragon Slaying Society, will you still be able to do it twenty years later?" You have to betray the righteous way of martial arts. A capricious villain like you, who is nothing but betrayal, has no right to speak sarcastically in front of us."
Ning Zhen'an calmed down and glanced at the speaker, seeing that it was Long Fu'an on the edge of the Si River. He smiled and said: "Dragon Master, I think you were also a hero back then and did a lot of good things for the martial arts world. It's just that you accidentally went astray. As long as you are willing to step back from the brink and have the intention to change your ways, not to mention just a few words of ridicule, or even if you have the heart to give me a beating, I will accept it."
Several voices came out slightly: "What a shameless guy. He doesn't care about anything just to survive."
Right and wrong have their own merits, and justice lies in the human heart. Ning Zhenan listened and smiled without saying a word.
Long Fu'an was surprised to see that Ning Zhenan was unfazed by honor and disgrace, his expression was natural and there was no pretense at all. I thought to myself, did this kid have unspeakable reasons for betraying his elder brother Bai Baiyu? So he looked at Ning Zhenan with a straight eye and said, "Ning Zhenan, can you tell us why you betrayed Bai Tianyu back then?"
Ning Zhenan laughed and said: "There is nothing unspeakable about this. Back then, I was besieged by the evil gangsters of the Dragon Slayer Association. They threatened the lives of my wife and daughter and forced me to submit. I thought of the four words 'relatives and friends', 'dear relatives' 'The word came first, so he chose to betray his friends in exchange for the safety of his wife and daughter."
One person stood up and said loudly: "Ning Zhenan, do you know what the saying 'brothers are like brothers and sisters, women are like clothes' means to us people in the world?"
Ning Zhenan replied loudly: "Why don't you know! If your clothes are torn, they can be mended; if your limbs are broken, they cannot be repaired. But I, Ning Zhenan, only have one wife and one daughter in my life. As a husband, as a human being Father, if you have to let them suffer innocently because of brotherly love, then why should you be a husband, and why should you be a father?
One person laughed and said: "Shameless thing! You don't even care about loyalty in the world, but you still want to hang out in the world. How shameless do you want to be?"
Ning Zhenan was excited, and he raised his hands to everyone around him, saying loudly: "May I ask this brother, were you born and raised by your parents, or by your father's sworn brothers? Do you intend to leave your family property to your children? , or do you plan to leave it to your sworn brother? If you were born and raised by your father's sworn brother, and your family property will be inherited by your sworn brother, then I, Ning Zhenan, will admit that I betrayed my eldest brother Tian Tian for the lives of my wife and daughter. Yu, it goes against the moral principles of the world, and heaven and earth will not tolerate it."
The man knew that he had a good background and knew that "a son should inherit his father's legacy" was a natural right. He was speechless by Ning Zhenan's words.
Many people think:
There are so many things in this world that are flawless. If they are not as good as others, it is considered good. People make choices when they need to make a choice. As long as they can clearly weigh the pros and cons, they will definitely choose the direction that is more beneficial to them.
Brothers are like siblings, women are like clothes. Heroes in the world rely on the mutual care of friends in the world to survive in the world. How can we not focus on loyalty in the world! It’s okay to go out of your way to protect your friends, and sometimes “brothers are like brothers” can still be taken as true. But are women really just like clothes? No matter how many times a man remarries, he only has one real wife, who is still more valuable than that old dress.
In order to save the lives of his wife and daughter, Ning Zhenan betrayed Bai Tianyu and betrayed his brotherhood, which was certainly inappropriate. But in the face of life and death, it is human nature to talk about family ties first and then friendship. Although it cannot be said to be the right thing to do, it cannot be said to be absolutely wrong.
Besides, no matter how vicious the tiger was, no matter how hungry he was, he never thought of eating his own children to satisfy his hunger. Ning Zhenan, who even wanted to talk about brotherhood, should be a normal person, could he be worse than a tiger? How dare you watch your child die unexpectedly without trying to save him just to fulfill the brotherhood? His eldest brother Bai Tianyu's life is his life, but then the lives of his wife and daughter are not his life! What's more, the entire world was chasing Bai Tianyu, and it was still unclear whether Bai Tianyu could escape. How could Ning Zhenan dare to ignore what was in front of him and become obsessed with the illusion in the distance.
Long Fuan asked himself that if he and Ning Zhenan were to change places, he would definitely do that, and he might even be more confident than Ning Zhenan. So he put away his previous contempt for Ning Zhenan, took a good look at Ning Zhenan again, and said, "Ning Zhenan, I heard people say that Bai Tianyu is still alive, aren't you afraid that he will seek revenge on you? "
Ning Zhenan replied with a smile: "Dragon Master, I saved my wife, but I am a husband; I saved my daughter, but I am a father. I was forced to betray his whereabouts of Bai Tianyu, and I am ashamed of my brother. Friendship and justice. He came to seek revenge. It is only natural and right, so why should we be afraid?"
Long Fu'an sneered and said: "Ning Zhen'an, Master Meng said: 'You can't be promiscuous with wealth, you can't move with poverty, and you can't bend with force. This is called a man.' You succumbed to the lustful power of the Dragon Slaying Society and betrayed your sworn brother. It is not an act of a man." .You are not a man!"
Ning Zhenan replied: "Dragon Master, it's shameful to be a man if you have the conditions, but not to be that man. To be a man unconditionally, but to insist on being that man, sometimes is not necessarily a very glorious thing. It's okay not to be a man." . Although it is a small matter to starve to death and a serious matter to be disobedient, life is precious in this world, and it is better to die than live."
Long Fu'an looked up to the sky and roared, and said: "Ning Zhen'an, your heart-destroying palm should have achieved some success. If you can defeat me today, I will listen to you. From now on, give up evil Be kind and join the righteous people in the world to contribute to the annihilation of the Dragon Slaying Society to atone for past sins."
Ning Zhenan cupped his fists and said, "Please!" He opened his palms and slowly accumulated the true energy in his palms.
After Long Fu'an cupped his hands and cupped his fists, he spread out his palms, condensing his whole body's cultivation into his palms, took advantage of the momentum to leap forward, and turned his body into an arrow from the string to shoot towards Ning Zhen'an, as if he was going to use a move Comparison determines winning or losing.
Ning Zhenan stepped forward with his left foot, took a lunge forward, and swung his palms out to catch Long Fu'an's two palms.
Everyone saw that Ning Zhenan moved his palms forward slightly, and his body retreated more than a foot as the soles of his feet rubbed against the ground. Long Fu'an did some somersaults in the air and landed gently on the ground.
Ning Zhenan stood up straight, cupped his hands and said, "I give in, Master Long." He should have won.
"Everyone, let's say goodbye." Long Fu'an bowed his hands to the members of the Dragon Slaying Association, then turned and walked towards Ning Zhen'an.
"Long Fu'an, once you leave, there is nothing so cheap in the world." A voice called from behind the crowd.
Long Fu'an turned around and saw about thirty figures in black clothes approaching. The leader was thin and looked like a ghost from hell.
Master Mingzhi saw that the man in black was displeased. When he came up to him, he glared at him angrily and said, "I think you are no longer a thing. Go to the netherworld as quickly as possible. Don't be an eyesore in the human world."
The leading man in black sneered: "Li Yiru, why don't you take a look in the mirror and see what you are."
Master Mingzhi smiled and said, "Then what do you think I look like?"
The man in black sneered: "A centipede has many legs, but it can't move as fast as a snake. A rooster has wings, but it can't fly as fast as a crow."
Master Mingzhi said: "All your life is up to your destiny, not up to others."
The man in black said coldly: "It's good to know."
Master Mingzhi said sternly: "What do idiots like you know? A horse can travel a thousand miles, and no one can go there by himself. With the ambition of the sun and the moon, the waves can be as high as the sky. Everything depends on man, and man can conquer the sky, don't you know!"
The man in black sneered: "It's a pity, it's a pity! Confucius's writings are world-famous, and Confucius was troubled by Chen Bang; his military strategy is outstanding, and Taigong fished in the Wei River."
Master Mingzhi replied loudly: "When the sky is in its right time, the sun and the moon will shine; when the earth is in its right time, the vegetation will be luxuriant; when the water is in its right time, the wind and waves will be calm; when people are in the right time, there will be constant good fortune." Yan Zi was awarded the title of Prime Minister of the State of Qi. Longzhong, I worship you as the military advisor of the Shu Han Dynasty." Seeing the black cloth in front of the man's mouth move slightly, he shouted angrily: "Idiot, don't shut up, how long are you going to confuse people's hearts." He slapped a palm.
