With a burst of laughter, Sun and Huang swaggered onto the stage.
When Shen Youran saw it was the two of them, the expression on his face suddenly became a little subtle, but he didn't say anything.
Seeing that Shen Youran remained silent, the Lord next to him thought that the appearance of these two people was also planned, so he chose to wait and see what would happen.
"Hahaha! Brother Shen, congratulations!" As soon as Sun Yixie came to Shen Youran, he immediately felt proud, clasped his fists and held his hands in his hands, with a smile so exaggerated that his eyes almost disappeared.
"Brother Shen is worthy of being a hero among men, a peerless hero. Dong Lai admires his methods!" Huang Dong Lai said loudly with a flattering look on his face.
As soon as these two people opened their mouths, they showed such shameless flattery, which caused all the heroes in the audience to secretly curse.
"These two dogs..."
"These two guys are indeed with Shen Youran..."
"Humph! I didn't expect Huang Such a scum came out of the door."
"Bah, I would lose to someone like Sun. It's such a shame and a shame..."
Of course, in this situation. Under the circumstances, they only dare to curse in their hearts, or in a low voice that cannot be heard by others.
These people in the world are very smart - if you curse too loudly now and someone hears it, someone will "report" you when everyone goes to "confess secrets" later. Something bad happened.
After seeing the words and deeds of Sun and Huang, Shen Youran finally smiled.
"Ha..." There was a trace of imperceptible contempt in his smile, but his words were still very pleasing to the ear, "Two worthy brothers, Shen really did not misjudge the person. As the saying goes, he knows the right person." Those who are in charge of current affairs are heroes. Even though you don't have 'that thing' in your body, you still stand up to defend us as brothers, which shows your loyalty."
Although Shen Youran still doesn't fully trust them at this moment. , but I basically believed 90% of it...
First of all, everyone knows that Lei Buji has a good relationship with Sun Huang. Sun Yixie had even asked Shen Youran to recommend Lei Buji. , but when Lei Buji was about to attack Shen Youran, these two people jumped out without hesitation and ganked Lei Buji, which shows that they are willing to betray even their friends for Shen Youran.
Secondly, before anyone was poisoned, they had already taken the initiative to share various secrets and their family's magical skills with Shen Youran. Looking back now... this Maybe the two of them really came to seek refuge sincerely.
Thirdly, to take a step back, if they just wanted to protect themselves, they could have blended in with the crowd and pretended to be deaf and dumb... Anyway, they had not been affected by the Bliss Gu in the first place, and they had already destroyed their family. After sharing martial arts, there is nothing to worry about. They can just find an opportunity to run away afterwards; but now they have jumped out without hesitation and openly called themselves brothers to Shen Youran, arousing the hatred of the powerful people in the world, which further illustrates their He is determined to board Shen Youran's pirate ship.
And finally, there is a fourth point. Although there is no logical basis for this point, I still have to mention it - the demeanor and words and deeds of these two guys after jumping back are so mean. Why? It all looks like his true character, not like an act.
"Ha! Brother Shen's words are obvious. We are all brothers. It has nothing to do with whether we know the current affairs or not." Two seconds later, Sun Yixie replied with a heroic look, "Even today, If this situation is reversed, we should naturally stand on Brother Shen's side."
"That's right," Huang Donglai said, "Although Huang's ability is limited, he still does it for Brother Shen. I'm willing to risk my life and go through fire and water!"
Shen Youran was so shocked by their hypocritical words that he even felt a little embarrassed. He laughed dryly to relieve his embarrassment, and then said : "Uh... Shen already knows the kindness of these two worthy brothers." He paused, turned to the Lord, "Your Lord, Rong Youran will introduce you, these two are..."
"Hey~" the Lord waved his hand, "No need, I know them all. Since it is someone you recognize, You Ran, then he is one of our own."
His words , half true and half false.
Does he know Shuangxue? They must have known each other. As early as the night when Sun and Huang broke into Zhixian Pavilion, You Jing had already informed the Lord of their situation.
The restaurant of Buguilou is itself a place where the Lord collects intelligence and makes friends with capable people and strangers in the martial arts world; he has set so many weird rules for Zhixian Pavilion and collects them regardless of the cost. All kinds of rare treasures and precious ingredients are available, and people like "Little Dezu" and "Southern Chef King" are hired to take charge, just to attract those experts and find opportunities to expand their contacts and intelligence network.
However, characters like Xue Tui and Yuan Fangzhi do not know the true identity of their boss. On the contrary, You Jing, who seems to be just a kitchen helper, is the right-hand man of the Lord.
Although You Jing was not present to witness the performance of Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai that night at Zhixian Pavilion, with his skills, it was easy to eavesdrop; therefore, the Lord was indeed early I got to know these two.
The next day, their deeds spread throughout the streets and alleys, because You Jing followed the order of the Lord to pass this information to Shen Youran, and Shen Youran then used the power of the Justice Gate to spread it, otherwise It couldn't have spread so fast.
So, what is the “false” part in the Lord’s words?
Of course it’s “one of our own” as he said.
With the Lord’s palace and strategy, how could he easily trust these two people? In this world, other than himself, he only believed in Shen Youran, and he was even wary of You Jing.
So, at this moment, although the Lord recognized Sun and Huang on the surface, in fact, when he heard Shen Youran's words just now, "You don't have 'that thing' in your body," He had secretly decided to find an opportunity to infect these two people with the Bliss Gu, so that they would be foolproof.
“I’ve seen it beforeLord. ”
“I came to the east to see the Lord. "
On the other side, Sun and Huang also bowed to the Lord respectfully on the spot.
The Lord nodded slightly to them, then stepped forward and met again. He said to the heroes present: "Okay, let's get down to business. ”
When he said this, Shen Youran, who was standing behind him, waved his hands and winked at his subordinates in the audience. The dazed Lei Buji was carried out from the side door.
At the same time, the Lord said: "You don't need to know who I am, as long as you know that my martial arts is very high, higher than yours. This is enough for anyone present. He paused for half a second, "I can pretend that what Mr. Lei did just now never happened, but if someone tries to resist or escape next time..."
When he said this, Shen Youran He stepped forward cooperatively and slowly raised the Gu bell in his hand.
This single action scared everyone in the audience to tense up.
Obviously, the attack of just one minute has been unforgettable for them, and many people are trembling with fear at the thought of that kind of pain coming back.
"You are all. A chivalrous person, because of his own actions, causes everyone to suffer with him. This should be something you don't want to see. "The Lord was very satisfied with the reaction of those in the audience, and he continued, "If you understand, please..."
When he finished speaking, the row of doors at the south entrance of the banquet hall opened again. After opening it, a group of Tianqi gang members were already waiting at the door with iron chains.
The range of the Bliss Gu's poison bell can cover a radius of more than 500 meters, and it can follow the poisoned person. Their own hearing has nothing to do with it. If someone wants to use Qinggong to get up and run away, Shen Youran can "shake" the person down by ringing the bell, so they are not worried about someone doing this in those banquet halls. People in the world also know that there is no hope of escape. You can run for a while, but you can't run for half a year. So, they can only come to the door one by one like going through security check at the airport, and consciously ask people to wear it on their hands and feet. After being shackled, they were led by Tianqi's gang to a courtyard and were driven into small rooms.
In that room, the four treasures of the study were already prepared, waiting for them to come. Use...
Although the Tianqi Gang has a lot of people, it will take a certain amount of time to cuff and lock up two hundred people, probably less than half an hour.
p>Having done this, it’s already halfway through Xu Shi.
The rest is simple. In the next few days, we just need to wait for those people to slowly hand over the information; those who are not cooperative, Those who are dishonest will be gathered in one place, and the Bliss Gu will serve them.
They are not afraid of anyone giving out fake skills, because all the information will be handed over to the Lord for review. His martial arts attainments have already entered the state of transformation, that is,He didn't know what the real version was, but if the exercises given by the other party were obviously adulterated, he would probably be able to tell. And once he finds out that you gave him a fake... nothing else, Bliss Gu will take care of you.
Of course, it doesn’t matter if you really can’t tell the difference.
Because from the beginning, the authenticity of the intelligence was not the most important thing.
Even under ordinary torture methods, most people will not be able to bear it, let alone under the coercion of the Bliss Gu? After all, there are only a few people who can persist in doing tricks, and 90% of people will eventually tell the truth.
As long as a few of these hundreds of people tell the truth, it means that the trust between everyone and their own sect has collapsed.
Every sect and every person has more or less disgraceful pasts or secrets that they don’t want to be mentioned; it’s not that there are no people who have a clear conscience and are innocent throughout their lives, it’s just that there are very few , in places like Jianghu, there are even fewer.
Take Lin Yuancheng as an example, do you think he is a bad person? Probably not, but he also has some past that he doesn't want people to know.
For a young man to be like this, those martial arts seniors and their sects... who can tell clearly how many nonsense things are going on?
You told lies here, and then went back and said "I didn't explain", then even if you really didn't explain, your fellow sects, the head... may not believe you; maybe Not only will they not help you get the antidote, they will arrest you first and then interrogate you.
This is human nature, this is the world.
If everyone was like Bai Ruhong, who would never compromise with the evil forces even if they were tortured to the point of death, then there wouldn't be so many grievances and hatreds in this world.
Take Shen Youran’s experience as an example.
He was born the son of the Demon Cult leader Yi Shixiong. Is this his fault?
His mother Shen was forcibly married by Yi Shixiong. Is it his mother's fault?
If his mother had not compromised, he would not have come into this world at all; and if he had not compromised, he would have died long ago.
When Shen Youran was eleven years old, his mother died of illness. He lost the only reason to stay in the Five Spirits Sect, so he escaped and changed his name.
He has the skills of the Five Spirits Sect, so his survival is not a problem, but whenever he meets those so-called "decent people", they always want to kill others to enhance their reputation without explanation, which is completely unacceptable. He will be soft-hearted just because he is a child, not to mention whether he doesn't want to be associated with the Five Spirits Sect at all.
Until one day, he met Gu Qizong.
Gu Qizong was the first martial arts "decent" to kill Shen Youran without seeing him. Instead of killing him, he took Shen Youran in, protected him secretly, and even taught him martial arts. He also taught him how to hide his internal strength from the Five Spirits Sect.
The most important thing is that from beginning to end, Gu Qizong never askedShen Youran's life experience, let alone knowing that he was Yi Shixiong's son.
Just because Shen Youran said: "I hate the Five Spirit Sect, I never want to have anything to do with them." Gu Qizong did that for him.
This is Gu Qizong. As long as he is sure that the other person is not lying and that he is a good person, he will do his best to help others and save others.
This is why, seven years later, when Gu Qizong recommended Shen Youran to attend the Young Heroes Association, no one asked Gu Qizong more.
Unfortunately, such a person does not have a happy ending.
Originally, Shen Youran never thought about "revenge" for Gu Qizong, because he thought that Gu Qizong and Yi Shixiong died together, which could be regarded as a heroic death in battle.
But one day, someone found him, a strange man who looked somewhat similar to Gu Qizong, but looked like a corpse.
His name is Gu Qiying.
To quote a few lines from "The Grandmaster" -
In a profession, one must have both face and dignity.
Gu Qizong is the face of the Tianqi Gang, and Gu Qiying, Gu Qizong’s younger brother, is the face of the Tianqi Gang.
Gu Qizong is an unparalleled hero, a hero respected by everyone in the world; but Gu Qiying is an unknown person, and no one in the world even knows of his existence.
No dust can be stained on the face, and the blood has to be carried by Lizi.
If you treat someone to a drink with face, Riko might have to kill someone.
In fact, Gu Qiying's strategy and martial arts have never been inferior to Gu Qizong's, and he is not only talented in martial arts, he is also very talented in astronomy, geography, mathematics and chemistry. Talent, but he knew...people like him couldn't take it seriously.
Because he is too smart and understands human nature too well... so he cannot be a "xia", he can only be a human being, a villain.
He was willing to hide in Gu Qizong's shadow and be his brother's lieutenant.
In those years, Gu Qizong had done many benevolent and righteous deeds in the world, and Gu Qiying had done many unjust things in the dark.
On the day when the Thirteenth Sect invaded the main altar of the Five Spirit Sect, Gu Qiying naturally dressed up as a decent minion and mingled with the crowd.
So he knew very well that the fire that day was not set by Yi Shixiong...
The so-called Yi Shixiong set fire to the ground and burned everyone, but it was the sect leaders who escaped. It’s just rhetoric after everyone has unified their caliber.
In the chaotic battle that day, it was the decent people from well-known sects who first started to prevent the fire, and more than one sect did so. However, as the fire became bigger and bigger, the heads of many sects saw it very early. The situation was not right and he started to run away.
They all took it for granted that it was Gu Qizong's duty to confront Yi Shixiong, and they all had some selfish motives for preserving the strength of their own sect...
Only Gu Qizong has always been forthright. With the members of the Tianqi Gang rushing to the front, they fought to the end.
If it weren’t for those other doorsThe faction retreated too quickly, causing Gu Qizong to be surrounded with no way out, and he would not have died there.
After the battle, Gu Qiying was also trapped in the collapsed cave. He watched his brother and Yi Shixiong being burned to ashes, but there was nothing he could do... A few days later, he He successfully escaped with the help of Turtle Breathing Technique and Bone Shrinking Technique.
Gu Qiying, who survived, was severely burned due to inhaling a large amount of smoke in his lungs. His injuries have not been good and he has been tortured by injuries all day long. He wandered in the Miao territory for several months, searching everywhere, and finally found a way to cure himself, but the price was... he had to turn his body into a container for cultivating voodoos and live with the voodoos for the rest of his life.
Later, he returned to the Central Plains, still secretly watching the Tianqi Gang, and watching the remaining gang members gradually decline, while other martial arts sects not only did not lend a helping hand, but were waiting for opportunities. Come and fight to carve up the Tianqi Gang’s territory.
As the saying goes, when a wall falls down, everyone pushes it down, and when a tree falls down, the hozens scatter.
When Gu Qiying saw that the Tianqi Gang finally ceased to exist and that the last thing left by his brother was gone, he thought of revenge - revenge on the entire martial arts world.
And he knew that there should be someone in the world who could help him, someone who truly regarded Gu Qizong as his benefactor.
It can be said that Shen Youran and Gu Qiying hit it off immediately. After learning the truth about that incident, he was immediately ignited with the fire of revenge.
In fact, Shen Youran was a person with no ambitions. He originally joined the Justice Sect instead of the Tianqi Gang to avoid suspicion and was afraid that others would misunderstand that Gu Qizong had any interest in him. But after that day, he seemed to have changed. He became a man and climbed up to the position of leader step by step...
As for Gu Qiying, he established a secret organization called "Shadow", calling himself the Lord, and began to Activities in the shadows of the world.
Today, the first step of their revenge plan has finally been taken.
They thought that the next difficulty would be mediation with various sects, and they had made various preparations to make trouble in the world in the next ten years.
But they never thought that one...oh no..."two" existences that would bring them fatal threats in a short period of time had already lurked around them.
They don’t have to think about ten or eight years. Just tonight, it will be staged - Sun Yixie burns down the Tianqi Gang, and Huang Donglai breaks into the building again.
