This is a crooked person!
I haven't heard anything about him for a long time. I wonder what his current level of cultivation is?
middle part.
It was raining and the sky was dark.
Building city.
This is a big city that is slightly worse than Tiancheng.
Wangyue Tower is one of the top ten restaurants in Loucheng. In the dim rainy night, the entire Wangyue Tower was like a huge lantern, with light shining from every window.
Wangyue Tower occupies a huge area. Not only is it a seven-story building, but several gardens around this seven-story building are also owned by Wangyue Tower. Here you can simply drink and eat, and sit and talk. Only the first floor is The hall is full of seats, and there are private rooms on the second floor. However, because of the rain at this time, there was almost no one in the garden, and the guests all gathered in the restaurant.
A man in shabby clothes sat there, his hair was dirty and tangled. There was only one plate of food on the table, but there were already three empty wine jars on the table, and there was only one wine jar left in the hands of the man, who was drinking heavily.
In a luxurious place like Wangyue Tower, it would be inappropriate to have such a person drinking. Even if it is a meal in the lobby on the first floor, it will not be cheap.
At this time, the people drinking in the hall looked at the monk from time to time, indicated with their eyes, and then laughed and chatted. Although their voices were not loud, they obviously did not fear the man in shabby clothes.
"This man is useless!"
"Yeah, I think back then he, Yue Tonghui, was very proud and very particular. He had to dress well, eat well, walk, sit and lie down with care. His hair was so smooth that even a fly couldn't stand on it. Are you watching? Look at him now, his hair is all in locks."
"This star really wants to retire"
"How did he become like this? I remember that he was a very proud person."
"That's not ordinary pride! Haha... he declared that he would take the road of invincibility and defeat all the heroes in the world in the Tianxuan Competition. But... pfft, he didn't even qualify to participate in the Tianxuan Competition."
"How could this happen? I remember that during the last Tianxuan Competition, he had already completed the foundation building, right? It is said that he also had perfect killing intent. With his strength, participating in the Tianxuan Competition really has a lot of potential. He hopes to defeat all the heroes in the world and win the first place."
"You know what the heck! How proud are people? How can they participate in the Tianxuan Competition of the second echelon?
People want to participate in the first echelon competition with the realm of golden elixir. Then... pfft... Let me tell you, by the end of the Tianxuan Competition, he had not broken through the golden elixir. "
"He...isn't a golden elixir now?"
"It is now, but the Tianxuan Competition is over!"
"…………"
Yue Tonghui drank the last drop of wine in the wine jar, put down the glass, stood up with numb eyes, and walked out the door.
"Sir, you haven't paid yet." A waiter stopped Yue Tonghui with a smile on his face but sarcasm in his eyes.
Yue Tonghui looked at the guy slowly, then with a snap, he pressed the long sword in his hand on the table and said:
"This is worth the price of the drink."
"no……"
"Let him go, his sword is enough for the drink." The shopkeeper's voice came from behind the counter. The waiter got out of the way, and Yue Tonghui staggered out of the door. His clothes were quickly soaked by the drizzle.
I don’t know how long he walked, but he stood in the middle of the street. It was already midnight. He looked up at the dark clouds covering the sky and murmured to himself:
"Gu Shuo...has already left his body...he has become a hero of the human race, but I am stuck in place, unable to move forward, hahaha...hahaha..."
A figure appeared opposite him. Yue Tonghui looked at that person: "You are... the shopkeeper!"
"Yes! Yue Tonghui, you look like this now, tsk!"
"Are you laughing at me?" There was a trace of self-mockery on Yue Tonghui's lips.
"hehe……"
This person was the shopkeeper who was in the hall on the first floor of Wangyue Building just now. He shook his head and said: "I just came to see how Yue Tonghui, who was so arrogant at the time, looks like now."
"Now? Haha..." Yue Tonghui's laughter was full of ridicule: "Who do you think you are? You can laugh at me? Are you a late-stage Jindan? I will kill you like a chicken.
"
The shopkeeper pondered for a moment and said: "You are taking the road of invincibility. Judging from your appearance, you must have failed. How much lethality does a person who fails on the road of invincibility still have? Killing me is like killing a chicken? Haha..."
At this point, he paused and said: "There are no invincible people in this world. This road to invincibility is a joke. If you can't go on, no one can go on."
Yue Tonghui's numb eyes turned cold: "There is no one? Doesn't Yunxiao not count as a human?"
"Yunxiao?" The shopkeeper smiled: "That is the legend of our human race. We were invincible all the way to the tribulation. It's just a pity. When we walked out of the wilderness, in order to protect our human race, we fought three tribulation monsters alone. Finally fell, alas..."
Having said this, the shopkeeper looked at Yue Tonghui sarcastically: "You really overestimate your capabilities. You actually want to compete with Senior Yunxiao. Where do you get such a big face? Look at your appearance. What's the difference between you and trash? ?”
"Do you want to die?" Yue Tonghui stood up straight. At this moment, he was like an unsheathed sword, rushing towards the shopkeeper opposite with murderous intent.
"Take it!" The shopkeeper took out the long sword that Yue Tonghui had just placed in the restaurant from the storage ring: "Draw the sword! Let me see how much stench you, the garbage, can still emit!"
Yue Tonghui reached out and grabbed his sword, with a trace of pain in his eyes.
What's wrong with you now?
This sword is my life. I have sworn that if the sword is missing, everyone will die.
What about now?
He actually used his sword as wine money!
"hehe……"
He laughed twice at himself, raised his right hand and grasped the hilt of the sword. The moment he grasped the hilt, his whole body became cold. As the sword was pulled out of the scabbard little by little, his body The cold sword marks were reflected, and the sword marks circled around the body.
Man and sword become one.
"Qiang!"
The sword roared and slashed towards the shopkeeper opposite.
"boom!"
Rulong Sword Qi was crushed by a big hand, which was the spiritual power condensed by the shopkeeper. Then the big hand flipped over and slapped Yue Tonghui on the face, sending Yue Tonghui flying away.
"Pa bang bang..."
Yue Tonghui's body was pulled into the air and rolled continuously in mid-air. Finally it fell to the ground with a thud. He buried his head in the rain on the ground.
Tap tap tap...
The sound of footsteps came towards him, splashing the stagnant rain.
He didn't dare to look up. It wasn't that he was afraid of death, but that he couldn't face the cruel reality.
His cultivation is still there, but he has lost his sharpness. If he was a sharp sword before, now he is a blunt sword.
A rusty, dull sword!
Because his heart is rusty!
I couldn't go on the invincible road, and I lost all my energy.
"tread!"
One big foot picked at the back of his head, and then the other foot picked at his back. The shopkeeper stepped on him like a dog, stepping on his body.
Every step that stepped on him made his heart collapse. His moon-like nobility, soaring aspirations, and stern pride were shattered inch by inch. Like an ostrich, he buried his face in In the rain, a feeling he hadn't felt for a long time, a feeling of wanting to cry, surged in his heart, but he held it back tightly.
tread!
The shopkeeper stepped down from his body and walked into the rainy night. His voice floated over from the rainy night:
"You will not be welcome in Wangyue Tower from now on. You are not worthy of a trash like you. If you dare to step into Wangyue Tower again, I will break your legs. I will leave that sword to you as a beating stick for beggars."
"Kacha..."
Yue Tonghui felt that something seemed to be broken in his heart, and tears could no longer hold back and rushed out of his eyes, mixing with the turbid rain on the ground.
His shoulders were twitching, and although he was holding back, he still let out a whine.
boom……
There was a thunder and heavy rain.
Blah blah blah...
I don’t know how much time passed, but my footsteps were gentle and I came across the water. Yue Tonghui suppressed the sobs in his mouth and buried his head in the rain without daring to look up. The heavy rain beat on him like a whip.
The footsteps stopped beside him, and he felt that the rain hitting him disappeared, and he heard the sound of rain hitting plantains in his ears, ringing above his head.
But he still didn't want to look up.
He fears……
He is afraid to see anyone!
The heavy rain kept falling, and Yue Tonghui lay motionless in the rain. After a while, an orchid-like voice sounded, with heartache mixed in the voice:
"Brother Yue..."
Yue Tonghui couldn't lie down anymore. He slowly raised his head, first saw a pair of small repair shoes, and then looked up. Above a blue dress, there was a fair and pure face, especially that A pair of eyes, like stars in the clear night sky.
"Small...small building..."
Nie Xiaolou held an oil-paper umbrella and squatted down. Just by squatting, his curves were revealed. Stretch out a slender hand to support the moonlight:
"Brother Yue, get up first."
The delicate body stood up and bloomed like an orchid. Yue Tonghui was helped up, Nie Xiaolou let go of Yue Tonghui, holding an oil-paper umbrella with one hand, covering most of the oil-paper umbrella for Yue Tonghui from the heavy rain, lifting the skirt of her skirt with one hand, and his clear, star-like eyes flashed with heartache:
"Where's Sister Hua? The last time we were separated, Sister Hua was already pregnant. How could you...Sister Hua let you be like this...so..."
The scene of killing his wife and children with his own hands flashed through Yue Tonghui's mind, but his eyes were numb and he said:
"She... is dead, and my child is dead too!"
"I'm sorry!" Nie Xiaolou's face turned pale: "No wonder you... my little sister's house is nearby. Go to my little sister's house to have a cup of tea and warm up."
Yue Tonghui shook his head, and before he could speak, a slender hand supported him: "Let's go, don't forget, Sister Hua and I are good friends. We are also... good friends."
With Nie Xiaolou's support, Yue Tonghui followed Nie Xiaolou's footsteps mechanically. He sighed softly, and his eyes softened as he looked at Nie Xiaolou.
He and Nie Xiaolou were not friends. He, Yue Tonghui, was on the invincible path. How could he have the leisure to make friends?
But he did know Nie Xiaolou because Nie Xiaolou knew his wife. As for whether Nie Xiaolou and his wife were friends or how close their relationship was, he didn't know, and he didn't have the heart to care about it. At that time, he was determined to take the path of invincibility. He only had the sword and the intention to kill in his heart.
Even his wife was married when he was young. He often regretted it later, feeling that he was too young at that time and his Taoism was not firm enough. Otherwise, he would never marry and have children. His heart has been filled with swords and killing intent, and there is no gap for anything else.
Including his wife and son.
But now, his path to invincibility was cut off, and his Taoist heart was completely crushed by that shopkeeper. He felt weaker than ever before, both physically and mentally.
At this moment, he saw the heartache in Nie Xiaolou's eyes, and felt the warmth of Nie Xiaolou's delicate hand holding his arm.
The rain stopped.
The clouds cleared.
Stars were revealed in the night sky, and the starlight fell down. Yue Tonghui used to be devoted to Taoism and developed a cold, even cruel character. But now the coldness in my heart has a hint of warmth. Some even dared not look at Nie Xiaolou, but concentrated on feeling the warmth of Nie Xiaolou's small hands on their arms.
After the rain, the streets became lively again. There were various shops on both sides of the streets. The lights spread along the streets. There were also more pedestrians on the streets. Yue Tonghui and Nie Xiaolou avoided puddles while walking in the lights. .
Storms flashed through Yue Tonghui's eyes from time to time, showing his extremely unstable mood.
What exactly are you pursuing with this voice?
Invincible road?
He remembered the shopkeeper's words. In the tens of thousands of years of human history, only Yunxiao had successfully walked the path of invincibility. Who do you think you are?
He glanced at Nie Xiaolou secretly from the corner of his eye, thinking of his wife and son.
My cold heart actually felt a little painful!
what 's wrong?
It is impossible for me to have such emotions in myself.
Decadent emotions spread from the bottom of his heart.
I am useless!
The invincible road is broken, and the Taoist heart is broken.
A feeling of reluctance welled up from the bottom of his heart. He turned his head slightly and looked at Nie Xiaolou beside him. Starlight fell on Nie Xiaolou's body, and his fair face shone.
He couldn't help but feel slightly absent-minded. Feeling his gaze, Nie Xiaolou turned his face. Yue Tonghui couldn't help but have a hint of panic in his eyes, and hurriedly avoided his sight. Nie Xiaolou's eyes flashed with tenderness.
The gentle gaze enveloped Yue Tonghui's cheek. Yue Tonghui's face felt hot, and the unwillingness in his heart just now blurted out:
"Xiaolou, am I wrong to take the invincible path?"
Nie Xiaolou said softly: "There is no right or wrong road, there are thousands of avenues, all born from the source. It is just our choice."
"But...my road is broken!"
"It's just that the road you chose is broken, not all roads are broken. For example, I like snacks. I also like pastries, and I also like candied fruits..."
She took out an oil paper bag from the storage ring, opened the oil paper bag, and found some candied fruits inside. Two slender white jade fingers picked up a red candied fruit, handed it to Yue Tonghui's mouth, and lightly opened her red lips:
"Brother Yue, try it."
Yue Tonghui opened his mouth, bit the candied fruit gently, then rolled his tongue, rolled the candied fruit into his mouth, and chewed it gently. Nie Xiaolou's eyes were full of joy:
"Sweet!"
