"You like to answer questions with questions?"
Although the big black man was tall, his voice was very gentle and somewhat elegant.
There was a small bamboo table on the bamboo bed for people to drink tea and lean on, and Yin Xiu leaned on it lazily.
Ye Tianwen squinted his eyes and looked at Yin Xiu, his eyes obviously full of interest in him.
Yin Xiu had no reaction, but Bai Fenghuang was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
No one dared to speak to the leader like this, and no one dared to look at him like this.
However, Yin Xiuquan did all these taboos, so Bai Fenghuang could only estimate in her heart whether the leader's thunder power would affect her. As for other things, she couldn't care about anything else.
Yin Xiu just smiled and said: "It's not that I like to ask questions back to others, but I have heard that if you want to know other people's names, you should report your own name and origin first."
"Did your master teach you?"
He smiled brightly, "My name is Ye Tianwen, and I am the leader of the Mingyue God Sect. Have you heard of this name?"
"Never heard of it."
Yin Xiu smiled, "My name is Yin Xiu, and I am a Taoist priest from Maoshan. I wonder if you have heard of my deeds?"
“No impression at all.”
Ye Tianwen put his hands on his legs and rolled his neck.
He originally thought that his answer was a reply to Yin Xiu to some extent, but Yin Xiu didn't care.
Yin Xiu just said cheerfully: "This is a good thing. If anything is beautiful in the forest, it will be destroyed by the wind. People who are too famous often don't live long."
"Really?"
Ye Tianwen asked back: "But I think it is not a bad thing for a person to become famous. The three emperors and five emperors, the emperors in ancient history, didn't the more capable they were, the more famous they were?
Those who expand their territory and make achievements are always more famous than those who guard their family fortunes. ”
"But, the number of people who can be emperors is very limited."
Yin Xiu counted on his fingers, "The emperors who have left their names in history can be counted with both hands. Among them, we have to exclude those who are remembered by others because they were stupid and cruel to a certain extent."
Seeing that Ye Tianwen didn't respond, Yin Xiu said again: "Let me ask you..."
"You can call me leader like others."
"Okay, let me ask you, how many famous assassins do you know in history?"
"Assassin?"
Ye Tianwen touched his chin, "There are always a few of them, such as Jing Ke, Yao Li, Nie Zheng and so on."
"Then why are they famous?"
Yin Xiu smiled slightly, "Isn't it just because they were recognized or missed and were killed? It doesn't matter whether an assassin can escape unharmed after killing someone.
Because his mission is to kill the target, not to survive after killing the target.
However, for individuals, survival is the most important thing. It is not cost-effective to exchange one life for another. ”
"Oh? I haven't thought about this angle yet."
Ye Tianwen seemed to have some realization, "In the past, I just treated people as dead. As long as I achieved my goal, it was enough. I didn't think too much about it."
"That's because you are the leader."
Yin Xiu burped.
"I'm sorry, but what I mean is that for a person in a high position like you, human life is naturally just a tool and a bargaining chip to you. From your perspective, there is nothing wrong with that.
But if that bargaining chip were you, everything would probably be different. ”
"Do you think I am a person who is afraid of death?"
Ye Tianwen stared at Yin Xiu, "I tell you, no one in the Mingyue Cult is afraid of death. As the leader, I am even more so."
"Then why bother?" Yin Xiu asked distressedly.
"What?"
"I mean, living is a very important thing. In fact, I don't understand, why do you think ignoring life is a brave thing?"
Yin Xiu patted the edge of the bed, making the bamboo bed creak.
"Obviously they are two different things. A person is brave and risking his life are two different things.
It doesn’t mean that anyone who doesn’t want his life is brave.
If you want to find such people, go to a pub. You can find a hundred of them in a night, but not one of them dares to lie down on the dentist's table. ”
"Tooth extraction is indeed a scary thing."
Ye Tianwen touched his cheek, "That's why I don't eat sweets much now."
The attendants standing behind him, listening to the two chatting, were a man and a woman, both of whom were old enough to be about to enter the coffin.
The old woman's eyes were a little cloudy. After glancing at Yin Xiu warily, she leaned close to Ye Tianwen's ear and whispered a few words.
It seemed to remind him to stop chatting.
Only then did Ye Tianwen react. He coughed twice, then approached Yin Xiu and asked him, "I heard Bai Fenghuang say that you didn't come to Jiaozhi to seek immortality?"
He finally got to the point, and Yin Xiu also put away his smile and said seriously: "I told Bai Fenghuang that we are just looking for people and are not interested in elixirs and scriptures."
Bai Fenghuang sat on a low stool and nodded obediently.
"It is said that there is another purpose."
Yin Xiu thought for a while, with a flash of murderous intent in his eyes, "That is to kill the drought demon. I don't really care about other things."
"That's what everyone says."
Ye Tianwen smiled disdainfully, "Out of ten people, eight said they didn't love money, but ten of them couldn't take their eyes away when they saw a bag of money dropped on the ground.
Taoist priest, I believe your words, but I don't believe your determination. ”
"Then what should I do? Just kill me."
Yin Xiu spread her hands, "A master like you must have the confidence to do it, right?"
"Killing a master of synesthesia? Do you really think I am invincible?"
Ye Tianwen grinned, "Even if you are seriously injured now, this is not an easy task. Who knows what other cards you have hidden?"
"There's really nothing left."
Yin Xiu opened his hands and said, "I was defeated by that drought demon and suffered severe injuries. I don't know how long it will take to fully recover."
"I think you will be fast, because it has only been a day and you can already sit so easily."
Ye Tianwen looked at Yin Xiu and suddenly had the urge to kill him.
Because Yin Xiu gave him a dangerous feeling that if he didn't get rid of it today, he would regret it tomorrow.
Letting Yin Xiu go is not letting the tiger return to the mountain, but letting the dragon swim back to the sea.
He could see that Yin Xiu was also someone who had the ability to bring about changes in the world. Any more of such people would be a disaster.
Ye Tianwen thought this, took out a cigarette rod from his waist, and gestured to Yin Xiu: "Take a sip?"
"I don't smoke. Smoking is harmful to health. There are posters on the walls."
"You don't smoke but you drink strong alcohol?"
"Those are two different things." Yin Xiu said with a smile.
However, Ye Tianwen didn't seem to intend to ask for Yin Xiu's opinion, and just slowly handed over the cigarette rod.
The tobacco rod made of brass is connected to the smoked black tobacco bin, showing a sense of heritage and history. "This is the same thing, even for men and women. I heard that in Liaodong, it is normal for women to smoke and drink. It happens to be the same in our Miao territory.
People who don’t smoke or drink, in my opinion, are really hard to trust. ”
Ye Tianwen pushed it over.
Yin Xiu smiled, stretched out a hand, and gently pressed it against the other side of the cigarette rod. The rough and cool feeling was conveyed into the heart of her hand.
Along with the coolness, there is also the hidden strength, silent but majestic and long.
Just as Yin Xiu had guessed, Ye Tianwen was also a hidden master.
"Whether you trust or not can not be seen just by smoking and drinking. The people who abide by the most rules are often the ones who are most eager to break the rules."
Yin Xiu gently pushed the cigarette rod over.
Ye Tianwen frowned and felt an invisible wall pressing towards him. It seemed that if he didn't dodge, his nose would hit the wall and make a colorful splash.
So he took a deep breath and pushed the cigarette rod over again.
Yin Xiu gently turned her wrist to catch the power and transmit it back.
Ye Tianwen's feet landed firmly on the ground at some point. As he and Yin Xiu "pushed" the cigarette rod, there was a faint sound under his feet.
Naturally, Bai Fenghuang couldn't see the competition going on. From her point of view, the two men's breathing was even and steady, their hands were dry and slow, and they looked like a completely harmonious and humiliating scene.
But for some reason, she felt nervous, as if there was a dark cloud above her head, threatening to thunder and then torrential rain at any time, causing a flash flood.
After countless back and forths, when Bai Fenghuang was almost bored to the point of vomiting, Ye Tianwen put the cigarette rod back.
At this time, his forehead was already sweating, but Yin Xiu was still leaning on the table lazily, his expression unchanged.
Even though he was seriously injured, Yin Xiu's unfathomable strength still frightened Ye Tianwen.
Was it precisely because of this power that he survived from the hands of the Drought Demon?
He was surprised and speechless.
Yin Xiu had something to tell him.
"By the way, Sang Jiu said that he is no longer a member of the Mingyue God Sect, and the affairs in the world have nothing to do with him. He can't help with the Jiaozhi matter, and please don't look for him."
< br>
Yin Xiu rummaged through his pockets and couldn't find the token that Sang Jiu gave him as proof. He might have lost it when he fell into the water.
So he spread his hands and said, "That's what he said anyway. It doesn't matter if you believe me or not."
"I don't doubt you."
Ye Tianwen nodded, "I don't doubt that the descendant of the wizard, everyone wants to leave the world, it's just whether they can do it or not.
He didn't want to do it, so I wouldn't force him, because speaking of it, he would be useless when the drought demon appeared. ”
"Oh? Do you think that Drought Demon also came for the elixir and scriptures?" Yin Xiu felt curious.
"I don't know."
Ye Tianwen touched his chin, "It's just that when the elixir was born, the drought demon also appeared together, which made people curious."
In this way, Yin Xiu remembered what the previous emperor Zhongluo said personally.
He plans to become an immortal, not just a zombie.
Combined with Ye Tianwen's inference, could it be that Han Ba really appeared in Jiaozhi for the elixir?
With suspicion, Yin Xiu asked again: "Aren't you afraid that Han Ba is actually much stronger than everyone imagined, and all of us will die in his hands in the end? Moreover, are you really sure that what he wants is the elixir?" ? instead of something else?”
Ye Tianwen did not comment on his words and turned to look at the two staff.
However, the two people, whose combined age was almost two hundred years old, seemed to be undecided for the time being.
So Ye Tianwen patted Yin Xiu on the shoulder and stood up.
"I don't care what he will do or what he will become in the end. Anyway, you just need to recover from your injuries here first.
The rules of us Miao people are very simple. As long as the other person spends the night in the village, we will treat him as a friend.
When treating friends, we will never treat them badly. It is our courtesy to bring the best wine and the best dishes to him. ”
After saying that, he said to Bai Fenghuang: "You are responsible for continuing to take care of him. Give him whatever he wants, because this is the etiquette of our hospitality. Don't lose etiquette."
"Yes, leader!" Bai Fenghuang lowered his head and said.
After giving instructions, Ye Tianwen took a deep look at Yin Xiu.
"You are a talent. After you have cultivated yourself, whether you want to fight or we work together, it's up to you."
After saying that, he walked out with his two followers and closed the door.
At this time, Yin Xiucai turned his sore wrist.
He looked at Bai Fenghuang and said, "Didn't you hear just now?"
"What did you hear?" Bai Fenghuang asked.
"Of course you are taking care of me."
Yin Xiu looked at her, "Didn't your leader say that you should take good care of me."
"I'm taking care of you, I'm taking care of you." Bai Fenghuang said impatiently.
"Then how do you take care of it? With your mouth?"
"With your mouth?"
Bai Fenghuang was stunned for a moment, and then realized what Yin Xiu meant.
She stood up and said: "What do you want me to do?"
"Bring me a basin of water. I want to wash my face. If it's convenient, bring in a bucket of hot water and I'll wash my feet."
"You do think so!"
Bai Fenghuang rolled his eyes and wanted to roll his eyes to the sky. After a pause, he still compromised and said: "At most, I can give you a basin of washing water."
"Then why don't you go quickly?"
"Hmph, wait."
Bai Phoenix walked out angrily.
At this time, Yin Xiucai lay down, took off his clothes, and saw the badge-like mark on the left chest.
It seemed as if a doll had bitten it, and the closely connected marks penetrated deep into Yin Xiu's skin. At this time, there was still a circle of marks and bruises.
Yin Xiu took out the ring from his inner pocket.
The Black Solomon had lost its luster as a gem at this time and became dull, just like a piece of black ore.
This was given to him by Laura Fanna and asked Yin Xiu to keep it close to his body.
In the last fight to the death on the Statue of Goddess in Gotham City, Black Solomon also penetrated his heart at the last moment, injecting new vitality into him.
So this time, there is no doubt that Black Solomon played a role in bringing Yin Xiu back from the edge of death again.
Its effectiveness is so powerful that it takes a while to regain its magic power after it is effective. This can no longer be called a shortcoming. After all, Yin Xiu was not nearly killed every time.
When Bai Fenghuang came in with a basin, he saw Yin Xiu still lying on the bed, looking at the stone ring in his hand in a daze.
"Did your sweetheart give this to you?"
"Want it?"
"I don't mind if you want to give it away."
"I mind."(End of Chapter)
