He seemed to be familiar with everyone, but in fact, the only people he knew here were Dong Wangong and Xuannv. He only remembered Hong Yi after Dong Wangong introduced her, and then said, "I didn't know it was Master Taiyi in person, nice to meet you."
As for Lu Qing, he was still a junior to him, but he still gave him considerable face, and the same went for the sickle and the performers.
Dong Wanggong glanced at him and said, "You are quite free and easy, but what did you mean by that sentence just now?"
"What did I just say?"
"Even if you say that the Dharma image of the Lord of Daode is also wrong, it's just a Dharma image, what can be wrong with it?"
"Oh, well, of course they are wrong."
The boy explained seriously:
"In broad daylight, he came out with such a big mouth and walked around everywhere, and he didn't even know how to be more careful and use something to cover it up. Isn't this the same as seducing the Yin Lord? So I think this can't be blamed entirely on the Yin Lord."
"?" Dong Wanggong clapped his hands: "There are still experts!"
The three girls originally had no feelings for the boy, but after hearing what he said, they immediately looked at him with disgust.
If women can resist getting angry at men who say such things in front of them, they are already considered well-mannered.
Of course, if it was Jiang Lu who said it, they would probably think Jiang Lu was humorous.
In short, no matter what happened in front of Jiang Lu, no matter how tolerant they could be, for irrelevant people, any behavior could potentially touch upon a red flag, and this kind of victim-blaming theory was a huge mistake.
However, the boy didn't seem to realize this and was still speaking ill of the Lord of Dao and Morality.
To be precise, it can't be considered a bad word, at most it can only be considered sarcastic.
"Oh, this is the first time I see Master in such a state of disarray. Look."
He pointed at the sea of fire in the sky, which looked like the end of the world, and said excitedly:
"Master, his expression is so humorous!"
Dong Wanggong couldn't help laughing: "You weren't like this before, where did you learn this?"
"Oh, I came down the mountain with the intention of refining my mind in the secular world, but I didn't expect that I would be completely absorbed in it. I guess it's hard for me to make any further progress."
The boy seemed very calm, and easily told something that would make most monks despair:
"It's a little abstract, and I feel like I have it in my life."
"But no matter what." Xuannv frowned: "He is your master, you should show some respect to him, right?"
"Respect, of course I respect it."
The boy smiled and said:
"If you don't respect him, I won't come here to get to know you guys in advance."
"Familiar? What do you want to do?" Scythe suddenly became a little stressed again.
"I told you not to be nervous. I mean no harm."
The boy waved his hands and explained:
“I want to get to know you all because I know Master too well.
Don’t look at how successful he is now...well, it seems not that successful, but it doesn’t matter.
In private, he is actually just a lonely old man who spends his days refining elixirs and pursuing the avenue. He is not much different from those old people in the secular world who live in nursing homes without children to accompany them. "
"It's still quite a difference, right?" Lu Qing said weakly.
To her, a figure like the Lord of Dao and Morality was equivalent to a living mythical figure like the Queen Mother of the West. Now, when she heard people say that he was just an old widower, it felt more or less unreal and was difficult for her to accept.
"They are essentially the same. The elderly in the nursing home grow flowers, he makes elixirs. The elderly in the nursing home long for companionship or visits, he longs for the great way. What is the difference in mentality?"
The boy shrugged and continued:
"I am his disciple, his caretaker, and even more like his son. I have been by his side for tens of millions of years. I know him better than anyone else and know what he is thinking.
So I know that the moment he realizes that he can't do anything to the Lord of Yin, he will give up his obsession. This battle will not have any result.
He often told me that the person he admired most, besides Yuanshi Tianzun, was Yin Zhu. In his eyes, Yin Zhu was just like how he imagined himself to be, just as free and unrestrained, and just as omnipotent.
So as an opponent, he will definitely use his full strength and give the highest respect, but when he finds the gap between them, he will quickly let it go and then treat Yin Zhu as his best friend. He is both an enemy and a friend. That's about it.
What I have to explain to him is that he is not an unreasonable person. You are all helping Yin Zhu, and Yin Zhu is not a wicked person. I think he should have considered this a long time ago.
He just wanted to fight the Yin Lord for too long, so he had no choice but to make this choice. I believe that after the battle is over, no matter how outrageous your reasons are, he will be willing to sit down and listen carefully. "
The mood of several people gradually changed from vigilance to some emotion.
"So you are here to lobby him and ask us not to hold a grudge against the Lord of Morality?" Hong Yi asked.
"That's not a problem. He's too arrogant to bring himself to say these things, so I'm the only one who can do it for him."
The boy nodded:
“As for what I mean by being familiar with you, it means that I can guess that you all have gathered together because of some extraordinary things. Once Master has resolved his knot in his heart, he will start to think and act as the Heavenly Lord of Morality again. At that time, I believe he will do his duty.
So since I will have to go on the road with you guys sooner or later, why don't I come here now before they finish fighting, get to know them, and help them clean up their mess? Hey, who made me a good disciple? "
Several people hesitated to speak.
Instead, the sickle, who had been slightly hostile to him, suddenly spoke up: "May I ask your name?"
"I told you not to be so polite." The boy thought for a moment and said, "The Taoist name that Master gave me is too official. You can just call me Ah Yin. If you want to respect me, you can call me Silver Horn King. This is the nickname I gave myself when I was refining my mind in the mortal world."
"Have you got your flower names?" the performer asked jokingly, "Then do you have a partner called King Jinjiao?"
"Hey, it's true." Ah Yin nodded: "That's my senior brother. We went through the world together to cultivate our minds and venture into the martial arts world."
"What about the others?"
"this..."
Ah Yin replied somewhat embarrassedly:
"I'm fine. I just got a little abstract. My future in this life is ruined. My senior brother is in a worse situation. He got hit by Xingming Special Attack. Now he drools when he talks and has trouble putting on his socks. Master has locked him up and won't even let him fan the alchemy furnace."
"Ah this..."
Just when the atmosphere was becoming a little awkward, they suddenly heard a painful roar from above.
"Do not!!"
They looked up following the sound.
The Lord of Morality stretched out his hand and looked at the alchemy furnace controlled by Jiang Lu with great pain, but he finally caught up with the second bite.
hum!
Accompanied by a loud sound of metal colliding, the two furnaces collided heavily with each other, furnace mouth to furnace mouth.
Seeing the right opportunity, Jiang Lu loosened his control over his Dharma image and slid into the second alchemy furnace.
After he pulled out, the alchemy furnace that he had been controlling actually shook. It was unclear whether it was spasming because of his rapid movements, or simply because the furnace felt empty because there was nothing inside.
If I had known that you would go from my body to its body without hesitation, I would never have brought you with me and introduced you to each other... It seemed to lament like this.
Not long after, the scene that had happened before was repeated.
The control of the Lord of Morality over the second alchemy furnace became weaker and weaker, and the connection became more and more distant. Finally, after something overflowed from the mouth of the second alchemy furnace, its control was taken away by Jiang Lu.
Evil fall.
Having experienced such a thing once, the Lord of Morality was already very uncomfortable, and now it happened for the second time.
And it is foreseeable that this will continue to happen, and there are still seven times left!
Sometimes, predicting the future is not a good thing. If you see the result too early, every minute and every second waiting for the result to happen will be torture.
The worst thing is that no matter how hard you try, no matter how hard you try, you can't change it.
A deep feeling of powerlessness filled the heart of the Lord of Morality.
It was only twice, but he couldn't stand it anymore. He felt completely desperate.
"No! No more! Don't do it in front of me again..."
He yelled at Jiang Lu like crazy:
"I give up! I give up!"
"Huh? Really?"
Jiang Lu came out and asked a question suspiciously, then worried that the Lord of Morality was really cheating, he suddenly drilled back in, causing the alchemy furnace to shake violently.
Seeing this, the eyelids of the Moral Lord twitched, and he quickly begged for mercy:
"I admit that even if I'm not as good as you at your peak, that's fine, right? You should be satisfied, right? Stop it!!"
Chapter 388 Kill back
"Stop it!"
Although he heard the Lord of Morality admit defeat, Jiang Lu felt that it was not enough.
This old guy actually still has the leisure to save his face now, otherwise he should shout: Take back your magical powers!
This means that he still has room to resist.
"Give up? Are you playing house?" Jiang Lu jumped out again and sneered: "If I lost, would you just give up? I still remember that you refused when I asked you to start over!"
After saying that, he went back again, like that mysterious Fang Tang Jing.
Seeing the alchemy furnace shaking constantly, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but the furnace mouth seemed to be tightening, and the Lord of Morality no longer cared about his face.
No matter how important temporary face is, can it be more important than a lifelong reputation?
You must know that the Dharma image will accompany you throughout your life.
Now two of them have been filled up by Jiang Lu. If they don't surrender, it is only a matter of time before all nine are defeated and filled up one by one.
Even though the Dharma image released next time after it is taken back is still brand new.
But...
How could he not know whether it was brand new or not?
After all, some things cannot be washed away and pretended they never happened.
He will be annoyed for the rest of his life.
