Hearing that Mr. Zhu did not refuse the answer directly, a glimmer of hope suddenly rose in Xiaoliu's heart. He quickly leaned over and clasped his fists respectfully and responded:
"If sir is willing to help, then Xiao Liu will be grateful. But if even sir is helpless, then Xiao Liu may have no choice but to bid farewell to sir and flee to the end of the world."
When Mr. Zhu in the room heard Xiao Liu’s words, he didn’t answer whether he would help or not. Instead, he took a sip of tea and asked with some interest:
"Flight to the end of the world? The sky has no boundaries, the earth has no boundaries, the world is vast and boundless, I wonder where Deputy Yan wants to escape to?"
Xiao Liu also shook his head and smiled bitterly when he heard this:
"I don't know, this junior, whether it's in the mountains, forests, wilderness, or in the rivers and lakes, it doesn't matter where I can go. From now on, I will remain anonymous and will not enter the rivers and lakes, and I will live the rest of my life."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhu chuckled and said:
"So, isn't it too troublesome? Since we are destined to die in this miserable life, then why does Deputy Yan have to go through all the trouble of escaping?"
Xiao Liu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he quickly came to his senses and said with a chuckle:
"Sir, you are joking. Since ancient times, although everyone is bound to die, there is no one who wants to die? Not Confucius and Mencius, nor Lao Zhuang."
"Death is inevitable in life between heaven and earth, but you can choose how to die. You can die as brightly as a mountain flower, or you can die like a lamp burning out. Xiaoliu may be destined to die, but he is not I’m willing to die like this.”
"Then I don't know how Deputy Yan planned to live and how to die?" Mr. Zhu asked with deep meaning.
After hearing this, Xiao Liu thought for a moment, then raised his hands and said solemnly:
"Xiao Liu's talents are limited, and he may not be able to accomplish anything big or save the common people. The rivers, lakes and courts are as deep as the sea, and Xiao Liu doesn't want to get involved, but Xiao Liu still hopes to fulfill his responsibilities and try his best to protect those he wants to protect. people."
"for example?"
"My relatives, friends, everyone who cared about me, the residents of the town, and those who suffered innocently," Xiaoliu said frankly.
"Oh, there are so many people. Does Deputy Yan plan to live for others?" Mr. Zhu asked curiously.
"No, live for yourself, live for your own heart. Be successful and die without regrets." Xiao Liu responded bluntly.
"What about yourself?" Mr. Zhu asked curiously again.
"Me?" Xiao Liu was confused when he heard this.
"Yes, fame, wealth, status, martial arts, don't you desire to pursue these?" Mr. Zhu asked curiously.
Xiaoliu smiled and said:
"It is natural to desire, but not to pursue. Xiaoliu will naturally like these even if he is not a monk. However, Xiaoliu knows that contentment is the only way to be happy. What Xiaoliu likes is relaxed and comfortable happiness, not possession full of calculation and danger."
"Fame, wealth, status, and martial arts are bottomless pits. Pursuing these will only make you sink deeper and deeper. Not only will you attract jealousy and robbery from others, but you will also lose your most authentic happiness."
"For Xiao Liu, fame is good as long as no one shouts and beats her; wealth is enough for daily expenses; sex, when people eventually grow old, they are willing to win the heart of one person, and their heads will never be separated; status, it is ancient and modern princes In the end, there will be no more than loess. In life, freedom is the most precious. As for martial arts, there is no end to learning, so who can reach the pinnacle of martial arts? What will happen if you reach the pinnacle?"
After Xiao Liu finished speaking, the room was silent for a while. After a long time, Mr. Zhu shook his head and smiled:
"In this case, Deputy Capt. Yan shouldn't leave. Someone is about to pass by, so I invite Deputy Capt. Yan to come into the room and sit down. I have a game here. I wonder how good Deputy Capt. Yan's chess skills are. Are you interested in playing with me? Let’s talk for a while?”
Xiao Liu was overjoyed when he heard this. "Sir, what you mean is..."
"Although I have no intention of fighting in the arena, since I have taken action today, I might as well make an exception again, but only this time."
'Already taken action? Xiao Liu was confused when he heard this, but then he suddenly thought of something, and he asked in surprise.
"Is it possible that I was at Yuan Qiu's house today..."
"Someone is going to pass, so Deputy Yan should come into the house and talk about it."
Before Xiao Liu finished speaking, he heard Mr. Zhu's voice ringing in his ears again.
Xiao Liu looked back and saw no one coming, but he did not doubt Mr. Zhu's judgment at all. Instead, he was secretly happy in his heart. He was originally worried whether Mr. Zhu could beat Shangguan Yundun.
But if Mr. Zhu did what happened in the backyard of Yuan Qiu's house, then he would have no doubts.
Regarding the swarm of soul-chasing bees, Xiao Liu asked Divine Doctor Qiu, and Divine Doctor Qiu also asked Xiao Liu.
Because Doctor Qiu discovered that the swarm of poisonous bees actually died after their internal structures were shattered.
In layman's terms, it means being shocked to death by internal force.
So many poisonous bees can be killed in one breath, and he can still avoid being discovered by so many masters present. This martial arts master is not only Shangguan Yundun, but also Gongsun Wulong and Guo Juxia. That can't be done either.
Xiaoliu walked into the bamboo house and saw Mr. Zhu looking at him with a smile. There was a half-played Go set on the table in front of him.
Mr. Zhu made an inviting gesture to Xiao Liu.
When Xiao Liu saw this, he smiled and sat down. He picked up the black pieces, and after thinking for a while, he started to place them.
. . . . . .
But while Xiao Liu and Mr. Zhu were playing chess, Lao Bai hurried back to the inn.
"How's the exhibition hall? Is everything okay?" When the shopkeepers saw Lao Bai coming back, they quickly gathered around and asked with concern.
Lao Bai looked at the store and found that there were no other customers, so he comforted the worried people:
"Don't worry, now the beauty of Feidaomen and the two elders of the Five Poison Sect have all been arrested. Now only Shangguan Yundun of the Tianzhan Sect has not shown up yet. And Xiaoliu has also I have found an expert, and with that expert's ability, I think he should be able to deal with Shangguan Yundun."
"Oh." The shopkeepers were relieved at first, but then asked curiously. "Expert?"
But Lao Bai also knew very little about this expert. "I don't know what's going on, but his martial arts skills are very scary when he takes action, and he seems to have some relationship with Yuan Qiu."
"Exceptor Qiu?" Everyone became more and more confused as they listened.
And Lao Bai couldn't stand the constant questioning from everyone. He quickly changed the subject and asked with concern:
"When I left, nothing happened in the store, right?"
The shopkeeper and others shook their heads when they heard this: "Nothing happened, it's just that a guest came to stay at the hotel."
"Guest?" Lao Bai couldn't help but feel doubtful after hearing this.
"What kind of guest, and what's his name?"
Listening to Lao Bai's tone, the shopkeeper knew what Lao Bai was worried about, so she quickly explained:
"We didn't ask for his name, but he was quite polite and spoke very kindly. He shouldn't be what you would call Shangguan Yundun, right?"
"Unfortunately, it's me!"
