Chapter 523: Rogues and Gentlemen
Thunder roared and heavy rain poured down. The raindrops quickly became denser and denser, hitting the glass windows of the wine shop with a fierce momentum.
"Then explain to me what a surprise is?"
Rong Lu smiled and said, "A surprise is that I originally only wanted to catch a shrimp, but ended up catching a big fish."
"You are wrong."
"Then what do you think is a surprise?"
"If your real body is sitting here today, that would be a surprise."
"Want to try?"
Li Jun smiled and said, "Yes."
"I also want to know how sharp the thorn in the eyes that the Buddhist and Taoist orders have not been able to remove can be."
Rong Lu said softly, "If you want to continue to fight the middle court with eggs and rocks, you will have this opportunity sooner or later."
"You have a big egg, you want to fight with my brother Jun?"
Shen Li on the side is most annoyed by such shrewd people, and cursed, "If you don't agree, you can transfer people here now. If I move my butt, I will take your surname."
"Shen Li, are you going to declare war on the middle court on behalf of Tianque?"
Rong Lu's eyes swept over: "Can you bear this responsibility?"
"Hey"
Shen Li sneered, no "Do I need to drag the whole Tianque to deal with you, a bunch of weaklings who have surrendered to Ruxu? I am enough!"
"When you can defeat the three heroes, come and tell me such harsh words. You are not qualified now."
Rong Lu no longer paid attention to Shen Li, whose forehead veins were bulging, and looked at Li Jun and asked: "Every grievance has its perpetrator. It was Meng Xi who killed Chizhu. Now he is dead. Logically speaking, the hatred between you and the Central Court has been written off. If you leave Jinling now, There is a way to survive. But you have to hand over one person. "
Rong Lu's eyes were cold, and he said word by word: "The people of Jianai Institute cannot die in vain. Hand over Zou Sijiu, and I will give you a chance to sacrifice the car to save the general."
"Meng Xi is not worthy of killing Chizhu, and you are not worthy of me handing over someone."
"Then are you determined to continue to be at odds with the Central Court?"
"It's dark and the road is slippery. I advise you not to be alone."
"There is a long time to come, so you'd better not show your head."
The two looked at each other, and they were sharp.
"In fact, you and I were wrong just now. You chose to fight to the death, which is a real surprise for me."
Rong Lu pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly, revealing a weird smile.
"Then I might as well give you a little surprise now to help you warm up."
Wang Qi actually didn't quite understand the conversation between the two characters in front of him, but he roughly knew that there should be some grievances and entanglements between them.
Based on his past experience, every conversation and encounter in the dream world must have a deep meaning behind it.
Just as Wang Qi lowered his head and racked his brains, trying to analyze the meaning of the scene in front of him, he suddenly heard Li Jun calling him.
"Wang Qi."
"Ah?"
Wang Qi looked up and saw Li Jun smiling and raising his chin at him.
Here it comes! I finally triggered the task!
Wang Qi was instantly refreshed and waited for the follow-up content with confidence, but he never saw Li Jun continue to speak.
What does this mean?
Wang Qi's eyes turned from excitement to confusion, and he swept across Li Jun and Shen Li's faces one after another, and finally fixed on Rong Lu opposite, thinking.
Rong Lu didn't know what Li Jun meant by this action, and didn't care about any "little surprise".
On the contrary, Shen Li's accident made him feel a little troublesome.
"Shen Li, I also advise you. It's better for you Tianque not to wade into this muddy water."
As the voice floated in the air, Wang Qi suddenly stood up, and the eyes of the three people instantly focused on him.
Wang Qi twisted his shoulders, lowered his body and leaned forward, swung his right hand in a circle, raised his palm and fell, and slapped Rong Lu's face hard.
Snap!
A crisp and loud slap did not shake Rong Lu's body, but the recoil force made Wang Qi's wrist break with a crisp sound of "crack".
"Hiss"
Wang Qi sucked in cold air, covered his broken wrist, and looked at Rong Lu in disbelief.
Coincidentally, Rong Lu also looked at him with the same astonishment.
One was surprised that the other party's face was so hard, and the other was surprised that the other party was so bold.
"Sound, very sound! So this is the fucking surprise!"
Shen Li clapped his hands and laughed.
"You are looking for death."
Rong Lu's face was gloomy, and the cold killing intent swept out.
But just as he uttered a low shout, a piercing sonic boom sounded in front of his face.
Bang!
A heavy fist hit Rong Lu's face, and the skin covering the mechanical bones rippled. The dull explosion was mixed with the sharp sound of twisted metal, and the splashed blood exploded into a powder mist in the air.
Plop.
The headless body just fell to the ground, and the door of the tavern suddenly exploded into sawdust.
"Shen"
The person who rushed in shouted loudly, but his angry eyes met Li Jun's cold eyes.
In a moment of contact, the piercing coldness that suddenly surged up grabbed his throat and tongue, and the word "Li" that followed was pulled into a trembling scream.
"What day is today? There are always people coming to the door one after another to seek death?"
Li Jun shook his left hand with blood on it, and his fierce eyes swept to the door.
Sword eyebrows and star eyes, green robe and Taoist hat.
This figure who dared not move at the door was dressed like a Taoist.
"Brother Jun, don't be angry, you are here to see me this time."
Shen Li spoke quickly, sat down on the chair, put his arms on the back of the chair, and looked at the other person with a smile.
"Guo Qiu, I'm not blaming you. He can't be too stingy. I just robbed you this time, and I didn't kill your disciples. It's not a big deal in the first place. You said you Why do you have to chase after me? Are you stupid now? You didn't expect to meet two Wu Si?"
This Taoist order, which Shen Li calls Guoqiu, is the master of the Lion Mountain Guanyun Temple and is also the representative of Maoshan in Jinling City.
At the same time, he was also the victim who was beaten, smashed, and looted by Shen Li and his men just now.
When the Taoist temple was attacked, Guo Qiu was not in the temple, but was outside raising materials to refine the Yellow Turban Warriors, so he did not collide with Shen Li head-on.
A member of Tianque who takes the initiative to surrender is of great significance to Maoshan.
For Guo Qiu himself, this was an important bargaining chip for him to improve his position as a White Jade Earth Immortal. Therefore, after learning that the person had been snatched away, Guo Qiu felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
Without a moment's delay, Guo Qiu gathered all the men in the watch and went down the mountain to chase Shen Li.
Guo Qiu was originally filled with joy when he tracked Shen Li's traces.
but now.
Guo Qiu's panicked eyes glanced at the body still emitting sparks on the ground. He quietly raised his right foot and slid his toes against the ground.
"Hey, hey, your foot is firm. Yes, that's the one. Don't move it. You bumped into my eldest brother and didn't even apologize, so you just want to run away? How can such a cheap thing happen?"
Shen Li said in a brisk tone: "Since you're here, why don't you sit down and have a chat? Don't be afraid, as long as you are sincere, I will ensure that you walk in and walk out standing today."
"I"
"What am I? Tell your disciples and grandsons outside to stay away. My eldest brother likes to be clean."
"you"
"What are you? Don't you understand? Come here as soon as I ask you to."
The situation was stronger than his own. After calculating the success rate of his escape, Guo Qiu decisively gave up his struggle and walked to the table honestly. He didn't dare to sweep up the dirt and parts scattered on the chair. He gritted his teeth. He sat down.
"You said you had been so sensible earlier and agreed to Tianque's conditions so quickly and returned the traitor to us. Wouldn't there be no need to make such an ugly scene? You said you handled this matter. I really don't know what to say to you. Something good.”
Shen Li pulled up a chair and sat next to Guo Qiu, put his hand on his shoulder, and smiled happily.
"Brother Jun, let me introduce to you, Guo Qiu, Maoshan Dao Si. I had a little conflict with him before and had some unpleasantness, but now we should be able to put an end to the past, right? Qiu."
"Ah, yes. The matter between Shen Li and I is over. It's over."
Guo Qiu nodded repeatedly on his face, but his aggrieved heart almost overwhelmed the Taoist heart that had forgotten all love.
"As long as the conflicts are over, it will be fine. If we meet each other by fate, we are all buddies."
Li Jun picked up the wine bottle on the table and filled the wine glass in front of Guo Qiu.
The bits of minced meat hanging on the wall of the cup were floating up and down in the bubbling wine, which made Guo Qiu feel horrified.
"But, isn't it a bit too much for you to kick in the door?"
"Qiu, this is your fault."
Shen Li's violent shouting exploded in Guo Qiu's ears, "How can you kick the door in front of our brother Jun? How ugly is this? I don't know, I thought you were because of the bad things that happened in the past between Wu and Dao families. What's wrong, you want to fall out with our brothers!"
If you were caught between two Daosi today, do you think I would be able to change my attitude?
Guo Qiu cursed angrily in his heart, but he kept saying: "It's all a misunderstanding, I definitely didn't mean it!"
"Actually, based on my understanding of you, Qiu'er, I certainly believe that you did it unintentionally. But if you expose the matter with just one misunderstanding today, then where will my brother Jun's face be if word spreads in the future?"
"A person has a face, and a tree has a skin. Do you understand this? Man."
Li Jun stared at Guo Qiu with a cold smile.
"Brother, don't worry. Qiu'er is not the kind of person who doesn't understand reason."
Shen Li raised his hand and tightened his arm around Guo Qiu's shoulders, "right?"
"right."
Guo Qiu nodded slowly, with an indescribable sadness in his tone.
"So you have to help our Brother Jun get his face back."
"Looking for it."
"Then how are you going to find it?"
"I owe you two a favor today. You may be able to use me in the future."
"No, no."
Shen Li shook his head and interrupted Guo Qiu, "It's about looking, not talking about it. You have to take practical actions."
"Shen Li, forget it, don't embarrass others."
Li Jun snorted coldly, leaned back, sat upright with his big horse sword, and said with a stern look: "I'll look for the face I've lost myself."
"Brother Jun, Brother Jun, don't be angry yet. Qiu'er was used to being a god in the mountains. It's his first time to be a human being, so naturally he's not used to it. We must be more tolerant!"
Shen Li lowered his voice and said: "Qiu'er, you have to think clearly. Opportunities don't come all the time. If you can't seize it, you won't be able to find it with a whoosh. What happened before is indeed What I did was not authentic, so I would like to remind you now, do you know where my brother lost face last time? The Japanese area! Now people are looking for face to come to Jinling. Look, the ground is covered with blood. What do you think? How tough are you? If you are still ignorant, then there is really nothing I can do about you."
Guo Qiuru, who was mourning his heir, said sadly: "I know how to understand."
"Oh, that's right."
Shen Li withdrew his arm, raised his hand to Guo Qiu, and said with a smile: "Look for it."
Bang.
Guo Qiu took out a Taoist weapon from under his Taoist robe and placed it on the table.
"Well, fifth grade."
Shen Li raised his eyes and looked at Li Jun, who closed his eyes and said nothing.
"Qiu'er, this is really a bit shabby."
Bang.
Another Taoist weapon was placed on the table.
At this time, Wang Qi, who was stunned by the scene of Rong Lu's headshot just now, finally came to his senses and looked blankly at Guo Qiu who kept taking out things.
What, someone else comes to give gifts?
After a while, the table was already piled with various carved talismans, seals and Maoshan Taoist weapons. If Shen Li hadn't stretched his arms to protect the edge of the table, he might have been so squeezed that he would have fallen out of the table.
"No more, really no more."
Guo Qiuxuan was about to cry, shaking his two empty sleeves.
Shen Li looked carefully and made sure that there was nothing on the other party except the Taoist robe, and then turned to look at Li Jun.
"elder brother."
Li Jun slowly opened his eyes: "Huh?"
"Have you regained your face?" Shen Li raised his eyebrows.
"What do you think?"
"I think it's almost done."
"That's pretty much it."
Shen Li touched Guo Qiu, who had dull eyes, with his foot, "Didn't you hear? My brother said that he has regained his face, why don't you thank him quickly?"
"Thank you..."
Guo Qiu, who felt mixed with shame and anger, slowly raised his hands and clasped his fists.
Shen Li raised his voice: "Who do you want to thank?"
"Brother Xie Jun."
"Whose Jun brother?"
"My brother Jun."
"That's right."
Shen Li smiled at Li Jun and said, "I just said Qiu'er is a sensible person, right?"
Li Jun nodded with a sullen face: "He is a good buddy, worth walking around more."
"Okay, let's come to Lion Rock to visit you Qiuer another day."
"No need to go to such trouble, I'll just go down the mountain." Guo Qiu's body suddenly trembled and he said hurriedly.
Shen Li said seriously: "That's not okay. You are a god on the mountain. How can you run down the mountain every day?"
"It's not a god, it's a human being."
"A human being, not a god?"
Guo Qiu looked defeated: "It's Qiu'er."
Shen Li pretended to be enlightened, smiled and patted the other party on the shoulder: "Okay, let's save money and avoid disaster. You know it in your heart. You have nothing to do today. Let's go."
The Taoist was relieved when he heard this, stood up and walked towards the door.
"Wait a moment."
"It's really gone."
Guo Qiu turned around, stamped his feet and shook his sleeves to show his innocence.
Li Jun said calmly: "I will pay for the boss's door."
"Brother Jun, you choose these things first."
Shen Li said generously, "Even if you want them all, I won't give a shit, brother."
Li Jun did not look at the Taoist weapons on the table, but instead asked: "Why don't you just do it? Two against one, even if there is someone outside, it is not difficult to kill him."
"Brother Jun, you gave me face and allowed me to survive this crisis smoothly. I am already grateful. If we really kill that awesome guy in Guoqiu, Maoshan will never give up and will definitely find someone." Brother Jun, you’re in trouble. You can’t be so ignorant.”
Li Jun smiled and said: "Many debts are not a burden. I have offended many people in Daoxu, no less than Maoshan."
"Brother Jun, if you cause trouble for them, I will help if I can. If I can't help and make you look down on me, I will admit it. But I have to take care of the trouble I cause, and I can't drag you into the water."
Shen Li said seriously: "I, Shen Li, left Jinmen, crossed the Jiuhe River, and traveled all over the empire. I was imprisoned and brainwashed by Confucian Xu, captured by Daoxu and trained, and locked up and bred by Foxu. The reason why I am still alive today is because of my integrity and blood loyalty. My brothers help me, and I help my brothers. We owe each other, but it never counts who has more and who has less, and whoever loses wins!"
"Then when I go to Liu's house, I wonder if I can hear you calling me brother?"
"Actually, even if you don't want to help, Brother Jun, I still have to shout loudly that day with Tianque on my back."
Li Jun said in a deep voice: "When the time comes, there will be blood and dead people."
"As martial artists, when have we ever been afraid of this?"
Shen Li raised his eyebrows nonchalantly, stood up, and handed a metal plate engraved with the word '天阙' to Li Jun, "Brother Jun, you decide when to do things, just say hello. Within half an hour, I will definitely Appear."
Li Jun took the sign, pointed at the mountains of trophies on the table, and said with a smile: "Take these away, they are all your fault, they all belong to you."
"How embarrassing."
Shen Li refused, but his hands were not slow at all. He took off his dirty robe and bundled everything on the table.
"Brothers, wait a moment."
Wang Qi, who was left alone, saw that the two were about to divide the spoils and leave, and quickly shouted: "What should I do?"
Li Jun said helplessly: "I've already told you, we are Wu Xu, and this path is not suitable for you."
"Why doesn't it fit? I think it fits!"
Killing Ronglu and robbing Guo Qiu, the previous scenes made Wang Qi's blood boil.
The manly conversation between Li Jun and Shen Li made him feel like he had taken a sip of strong wine, and his heart was burning.
Since this is a dream game, why don't I choose the most satisfying path?
Even if there are dangers, so what?
Even if the sunset is approaching dusk, it is at least infinitely good!
"After taking the spiritual orifice, there is still no chance to restore the original flesh and blood?"
Li Jun pondered for a moment, turned his head and looked at Shen Li.
Shen Li looked up and down at Wang Qi, stroking his chin with one hand: "He is not yet a follower, so it should not be a big problem. Even if it can't be done, I have some connections in Jinling City, and it is not a problem to help him find a sequence."
"Then you can help him point the way, it is enough to break the lock and advance to the sequence."
Li Jun paused, "No need to bring him into the sky."
"Understood."
Shen Li blinked and said to Wang Qi, who was surprised: "Let's go, Brother Wang, find a place for me to measure your length first."
Some died and some left. In the messy wine shop, only Li Jun was left sitting still.
Li Jun shook the bottle with a shallow bottom left, raised his head and drank it all, and the corner of his eye swept over the headless corpse on the ground.
"There's something fishy about this. I'm afraid Old Zou is going to get into trouble."
