Chapter 967 Love
When Yuan Qi and the group of martial arts practitioners who had finished adjusting their breaths walked into the cherry tree garden, they immediately saw such a scene...
But I saw a "weird man" who looked three-quarters like a human and seven-quarters like a corpse, chasing a woman riding a tiger.
And that tiger was also very strange... It had two extremely long tusks that poked out of its mouth. Its size and coat color were the only ones they had ever seen in their lives.
Of course, compared with the "giant eagle" and "stone bird monster" this woman rode in the Soul-Dead Gorge, this tiger is already quite normal... These martial arts masters have seen countless things today that subvert their common sense. He Sanguan's strange things, at this moment there are basically no settings that they can't accept...
"Leader! Look!" Soon, someone spotted two other figures in the garden.
Those two people... were naturally Feng Bujue and Cao Qin.
"Leader, should we..." When a leader was about to ask Yuan Qi if he wanted to go up and help.
Before he could finish his words, Alliance Leader Yuan waved his hand and said, "No..."
Although his response was a bit ruthless, everyone understood it... After all, the level was too different. Even if they succeeded, they would probably die in vain, or even become a burden to Feng Bujue.
Who knows, [, Yuan Qi's words also contain the second half of the sentence: "...I will go there alone, and you guys will stay here."
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him with admiration.
Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of noise in the crowd, and people began to say things such as "Bo Yuntian, the alliance leader", "The alliance leader is really a hero of the world", "I, so-and-so, have never admired anyone in my life, but I did it today" and so on Lines...
Yuan Qi didn't pay too much attention. He just waited for a few seconds and then continued: "Everyone... Cao Qin's martial arts is so high that it is difficult to fathom. Although we have not seen him take action, from the actions of his apprentice 'The King of Hell' Judging from the means...he is undoubtedly no longer in the mortal realm." He paused, "And the martial arts of the feudal master...well...everyone has seen his wife's swordsmanship...that's right. Immortal means are not an exaggeration.”
Speaking of which. He paused for a moment, giving everyone some time to think.
"The martial arts of these two people are beyond our reach. Even Yuan... is not confident that he can interfere with their victory or defeat." Yuan Qi continued, "But... if I don't go to this pond today... Shui... If the leader of the hostel loses in the end, then Cao Qin will definitely come to deal with us. Then... we will also be dead." The more he said, the more solemn his expression became, "Alas... In short, today we will. Whether you can leave Heart Burial Valley alive... I'm afraid it depends on God's will."
After finishing speaking, he stopped and looked forward and was silent for a moment.
Subsequently. As if he had made some serious determination, his eyes changed... and he rushed out.
…………
On the other hand, fifteen minutes ago…
"Eunuch Cao, I've kept you waiting for so long!" When Feng Bujue returned to Cao Qin, he greeted him first.
"It doesn't matter, I did watch a good show." When Cao Qin replied, he turned his head to look at the Blood Corpse God and Blood Rose in the distance, "Speaking of which... that girl and her companions seem to have All kinds of strange techniques like those of your Broken Sword Tea House." His eyes changed slightly. "Who...are you?"
"If I told you that we all come from 'outside the sky', or...we are 'projections of another world.'" Feng Bujue tentatively replied, "Would you stop fighting me?"
"Oh?" Cao Qin heard this. He narrowed his eyes and began to think deeply.
From an NPC perspective, his level is undoubtedly very high, and his strength is considered unique data. And the planet he is on is also in the main universe.
However, in terms of the world background where the character lives, he is just an ancient man living in the Confucian world.
Because the level of natural science and knowledge in the world we live in are limited. It is difficult for Cao Qin to recognize a concept similar to "dimension".
In worlds that are more technological, even some NPCs with low education can learn this information; while in those worlds that are more mythical and magical, there are almost omniscient "high gods". exist.
As for the world where Cao Qin lives, it is more unlucky... If the NPCs here want to perceive the existence of "dimensions" on their own, they can only rely on methods such as "entering the Tao" and "becoming a Buddha".
But this world is not the kind of place where cultivation is very convenient... There are no sects of cultivators here, such as exercises, elixirs, grandfather's magic weapons, etc... nothing.
If you want to cultivate yourself here, you must either practice martial arts or practice Zen...
The former requires practicing to an extraordinary level before you can touch the threshold of cultivation; while the latter is more difficult than the former... As I said just now, there are no special cultivation techniques or elixirs here, so... practitioners have to wait until they enter the final stage. Before the basic foundation building period, there is no way to increase longevity. Unless you are the kind of being who has amazing understanding and is born to live like a Buddha...otherwise, if you have to sit in meditation until you have the power of Buddhahood in your body...you will definitely not be able to do it without a lifespan of 180 years.
To sum up, although Eunuch Cao is very strong, Feng Bujue's "extraterrestrial projection theory" is still a new thing to him, and it is a new thing that is difficult to believe...
"Haha...hahahaha..." After thinking for about a minute, Cao Qin laughed, "This statement... is really hard to believe, but... if what you said is true, everything that has troubled me so far All the doubts...have a reasonable answer.”
"As expected of Eunuch Cao, with this vision, you are much better than most people in the world." Feng Bujue himself was once a person who did not believe in ghosts and gods. He could understand Cao Qin's mood at this time - probably the same as Pretty much the same time he first met Woody.
"Whether it is Cangling Town or the Top of the Forbidden City..." Cao Qin did not respond to Brother Jue's compliment, but continued, "...and today...you guys always appear suddenly and disappear again every time. The light disappears; even after seeing each other for so many years, the appearance remains unchanged... In addition, the techniques, spells, and those strange hidden weapons you use... are all different from those of the current world." He spoke faster and faster. , this is a sign that the train of thought has been sorted out, "...Hmph, what a Broken Sword Teahouse, I finally understand your secret... Hahahaha..."
Cao Qin is finally relieved...
As mentioned before, people like him can accept others being better than him. What he was afraid of... was just the unknown.
"It seems... I should have made it clear to you earlier." Feng Bujue saw the other party's reaction and replied, "In that case..." He turned to look at Lin Yan's body in the distance, "... …Things might not come to this point.”
"You seem to be very entangled in Lin Yan's death?" Cao Qin took a deep look at Brother Jue and continued.
"To be honest, I don't want to kill her." Feng Bujue responded, "She is a poor person, she did nothing wrong." His eyes flickered, "The wrong person... is you."
"Well..." Cao Qin nodded, "You are right. I am not her benefactor, but her enemy...the enemy who ruined her life for more than forty years."
"But in order to fulfill your 'ideal'... you won't care about this level of sacrifice." Feng Bujue continued in a deep voice.
"Ha!" Cao Qin laughed again, this time... it was a bitter smile, "How do you know I don't care?"
"Do you care?" Feng Bujue's expression changed slightly and he asked suspiciously.
"I really didn't care at first." Cao Qin replied, "At least when I planned to kill her mother, I didn't have any hesitation."
"Later...you changed your mind?" Feng Bujue asked again.
"Yes." Cao Qin said.
"Why?" Feng Bujue asked.
"Of course it's because of love." Cao Qin said.
"A person like you... can still have feelings?" Feng Bujue asked.
"I am also a human being," Cao Qin said. "The human heart is made of flesh. No matter how detached a person is, he will still have feelings."
"Ha... I thought you had already lost your heart." Feng Bujue sneered.
"Well..." Cao Qin sighed sadly, "Indeed. I have killed many people, including good people and bad people, and more of them... are innocent people, the so-called victims; I, Cao, am in the government and the public. For more than ten years, the number of evil things I have done has exceeded anyone’s imagination. If I hadn’t put my conscience behind me, I would have gone crazy or committed suicide. "
At this point, he changed the topic: "At first, I also thought... I had long been ruthless and careless. But Lin Yan changed my view." He paused for a second, then continued, "I single-handedly brought up Lin Yan. ... She has been well-behaved, sensible, and smart since she was a child, and she sincerely regards me as her father; she has no idea... that I am her biggest enemy, and the misfortunes of her family... are all directly related to me, even me Made possible by one hand.”
"So you gradually felt guilty." Feng Bujue looked directly into the other person's eyes. He could feel that... Cao Qin was not acting, and there was no need to act like this.
"Yes, I am the one who should feel guilty, not you..." Cao Qin shook his head: "Until she was killed by you, Lin Yan never blamed me. I will always be the one who raised her in her heart. An adult benefactor and adoptive father." He clenched his fists, "Even if I don't have any affection for her, at least I feel guilty."
"Haha..." Hearing this, Feng Bujue smiled, "Eunuch Cao, it seems that you... are nothing more than that."
"What did you say?" Cao Qin had a strange look on his face when he heard this; an uneasy feeling... rose rapidly in his heart.
"Do you really think...Lin Yan doesn't know that your mother's death is related to you?" Feng Bujue replied immediately.
At that moment, the expression on Cao Qin's face suddenly changed drastically.
"Understood?" Feng Bujue also knew that the other party was a smart person, so he understood everything at once, "You already said that she was 'smart as ice and snow'. How could she not have noticed the truth back then after more than forty years? "
"Then... why did she..." Cao Qin became hesitant when speaking.
"Because... she also has feelings." Feng Bujue interrupted, "She made a choice between hatred and kindness, so... she chose to hate me, hate someone she has never seen and will probably never People who will never meet. She transferred all her hatred to me so that she could live easier and... she could continue to regard you as her benefactor and father." His tone was not too passionate. , but every word she said hit Cao Qin's soul directly, "In fact, she lived in pain, more painful than you imagine... until today..."
"Today..." Cao Qin's eyes widened and his body began to tremble.
"Whether you, the master, have discovered it or not, I have discovered it..." Feng Bujue said, "Although Lin Yan was very excited when she fought with me before,... she actually didn't use her full strength. Whether it's subconscious or intentional... what I can feel is that she would rather be killed by me than kill me."
"Lin Yan...she..." At this moment, Cao Qin also turned his head to look at Lin Yan's body, "She..."
"Alas...I'm dead, who can she hate?" Feng Bujue sighed.
Cao Qin choked, lowered his head, and murmured: "What a silly child..."
He finally couldn't suppress his emotions anymore, and his eyes were wet.
For decades, Cao Qin's face has always been indifferent or smiling. He has long forgotten the feeling of being unable to control the bitterness in his heart.
Even at the moment when Lin Yan died, he only showed a brief shock and anger; he almost immediately suppressed the outburst of emotions and put on the same demeanor as always.
But at this moment, Cao Qin was almost out of control.
"Master Feng...I'm sorry, Cao lost my composure..." After another silence, Cao Qin wiped his face, adjusted his expression, and continued.
"It's okay, it's human nature." Feng Bujue said.
"Do you still remember... my twelve unique skills?" The next second, Cao Qin suddenly changed the subject.
"Why?" Feng Bujue said, "Eunuch Cao still wants to teach me?"
"No... I don't mean that..." Cao Qin's tone was much gentler, becoming more like an old man, an elder, and his eyes also revealed a faint tiredness, "I just want to... negotiate a deal with you."
…………
Time returned to the present, Yuan Qi suddenly burst into light, passing through the forest, and in a blink of an eye he had rushed to Cao Qin and Feng Bujue.
And the two of Feng and Cao... seemed to have just agreed on something and were waiting for something.
"Master Feng! Yuan is here to help you!" When Yuan Qi approached them five or six meters away, he roared and drew out the cloth sword at his waist.
Who knew...
"Master Yuan, you're here just in time." Feng Bujue turned his head and said, "We are waiting for you."
"What... what?" Yuan Qi was stunned when he heard the words, and his body also stagnated.
Leader Yuan immediately thought to himself: "No way? Are these two evil gods allied? Are they going to destroy the world?"
Then, Feng Bujue asked a question: "Leader Yuan, are you interested in... becoming the supreme master of the martial arts world?"
The tone of his question was similar to saying "Are you interested in going out for a walk with me?"
"Huh?" Yuan Qi obviously couldn't react.
"If yes, let's discuss it..." Feng Bujue didn't wait for the other party to give an answer, and continued, "As long as you follow my arrangements, after today, you can still be your martial arts leader, and... you can also learn several martial arts that are not inferior to Mingchen Xuan Gong. As for the gang of Jianghu bosses you brought with you, I will teach you how to explain to them... I will make sure you fool them and there will be no future troubles."
"This..." Yuan Qi was already moved when he heard this.
"Of course, if you don't want to listen to my arrangements... that's fine too." After a moment, Feng Bujue's lazy face instantly changed into an evil smile, and then he said, "Then I will join forces with Eunuch Cao... and play fiercely with you." (To be continued...)
