Chapter 537: Few Awake, Many Fools (V)

On the altar, the solemn and majestic statue of the founder of Mount Mao was smashed into a pile of wreckage.

Zhang Changfeng leaned against the remaining feet of the statue, sitting cross-legged in a pool of blood, the armor on his chest was shattered, the wound was exposed to the bones, his head was hanging down, and he was motionless.

Crack.

The soles of his shoes stepped on the armor fragments scattered all over the ground, making a sharp sound like a knife and an axe.

Li Jun, who rushed into the hall, suddenly heard a burst of ancient palace and business sounds in his ears. What was even more weird was that the source of this sound was Zhang Changfeng's heaving chest!

The Six Arts of Confucianism, ritual and music? !

Boom!

The ten-foot-high altar was completely smashed into pieces by Li Jun's punch, and the gravel in the rising smoke and dust flew in all directions like bullets, making a terrifying whizzing sound.

The unusual touch of the fist startled Li Jun, and he turned around suddenly, just in time to bump into a pair of terrifying eyes as black as ink.

If Zhang Changfeng outside the palace just now gave people the impression of a pure and strong flesh and blood warrior, then at this moment he was as dirty as a pool of turbid sewage, and the disgusting smell of decay rushed straight into Li Jun's head.

Clang!

The two black armors simultaneously ejected sharp blades from their elbows, and the close-fitting warriors chopped at the same time.

Flying fire points flew between the two pairs of eyes that almost collided, and the sonorous explosion was no less than the thunderous sound outside the palace.

Zhang Changfeng, who was seriously injured and dying just now, was now extremely brave, and he attacked with his knife, fist, elbow, and knee in turn. The two tempered martial arts were like surging waves, one attack and one defense, cooperating with each other, trying to suppress Li Jun's sharp and sharp power.

However, although the pressure in front of him was not small, it was still not as great as the huge power of heaven that was about to crush him.

Daozu had already reached the sky, and the thunder sword had already touched the top of the temple.

This was the existence that really made Li Jun feel difficult!

Ding!

After a brutal and unpretentious sword fight, the two entangled figures bounced back.

Li Jun, who had just stood firm, had a fierce look in his eyes. He rushed forward first, holding his sword with both arms and slashing with force, and the sharp force poured out from the blade. Zhang Changfeng's two swords that were held high and crossed broke immediately, his figure sank suddenly, and the floor tiles under his feet exploded into powder.

With a crisp sound of retracting into the sheath, Li Jun's left short sword suddenly retracted into his elbow, and he stretched out his arm to grab Zhang Changfeng's shoulder. At the same time, he stepped forward to grab a position, and rotated the sword around his arm with his right hand, and chopped it down fiercely!

Squeak

The surging sharp force broke the armor and bones, and a section of Zhang Changfeng's forearm was broken at the elbow and thrown into the air.

The blood spurted out and splashed all over Li Jun's face, but it was like water in hot oil, and the ferocity between his eyebrows suddenly boiled. The blade in his palm did not stop, and turned to an inverted position, stabbing Zhang Changfeng's jaw from bottom to top.

At this critical moment of life and death, the bronze chimes and zithers sounded alternately, and a murderous intention rushed out of Zhang Changfeng's body.

His eyes immediately turned black and red, and he raised his only remaining right hand to cover the sharp blade that was stabbing at him.

Puff!

The blade pierced through the palm, and the stopped edge was only a millimeter away from the neck.

Zhang Changfeng roared in his mouth, broke the short knife that penetrated his palm, stretched out his hand to grab Li Jun's front, and at the same time raised his broken arm with exposed bones like a beast and stabbed it directly into the opponent's face.

Boom!

At this moment, the thunderclouds that had been accumulating for a long time in the sky finally couldn't hold back.

The golden roof of the Taoist temple was shattered and blown away by the thunder in the lightning, revealing the night sky with stars like torches, shining with the moon.

The broken statues, the collapsed halls, the whistling fist wind, the fighting figures, the thunder and rain of the immortals, the blood and bones of the warriors

In the awe-inspiring and bizarre scene, a suona sound that was extremely vulgar but also extremely domineering rose to the sky, raising a fiery and wild atmosphere.

"You are the only one who can play music?! Fuck!"

The devilish sound that was close at hand poured into his mind, and the dark pupils in Zhang Changfeng's eyes trembled for a moment, and the crazy life-changing action was delayed for a moment.

In contrast, Li Jun's fierce attack suddenly rose.

He hit his fists with his elbows, hit his face with his knees, broke his bones with his left hand, and stabbed his throat with his right hand.

Boom!

Li Jun punched Zhang Changfeng in the face, and the downward force of the fist blasted him and the ground into a deep pit.

The broken armor was mixed with rotten flesh and blood, and the eyeballs that were crushed into paste left only a pair of black holes. The broken limbs and armor kept twitching at the bottom of the pit.

Li Jun raised his fist again and went straight to the heart.

This time, there was no obstacle before the sharp edge.

When the fist fell, the ancient music and the heartbeat went out together.

[100 mastery points obtained]

[382 mastery points remaining]

[The fourth-grade body forging Hou Tu physique has been learned (Taotie absorbs)]

[Consume 300 mastery points, Hou Tu physique has been upgraded to the fourth-grade great perfection]

[Wanli Guanshan (body forging martial arts) has been obtained]

Boom!

A terrifyingly thick thunder dragon fell from the sky, and the vast lightning instantly submerged the entire Taoist temple.

"It should be over, right?"

In the wind and rain, Liu Tu looked at the wreckage in front of him with rolling mist, and whispered to himself: "You challenged the entire Guanyun Temple alone, and you can also drag Wu Si, a sect who has tempered two martial arts, to be buried with you. Li Jun, you died with honor."

"Who died, and who was honored?"

As soon as Liu Tu finished speaking, a hoarse question floated out of the mist.

In the mist that covered the eyes, a figure wrapped in electric arcs loomed, and the slowly straightened back was like a sharp sword piercing Liu Tu's heart.

"Guo Qiu!"

Liu Tu, whose face was as pale as paper, shouted sharply.

The Taoist in Qingyi, who was almost drained by the Taozu's magic weapon, lowered his head and took a staggering step. The next moment, he was on all fours like a wild beast, running wildly into the mist.

boom!

A flash of crimson flames exploded, and the fire tornado was two feet high, burning the cold rain in the sky into an even more majestic sea of ​​white mist.

The activated talismans shot out one after another and fell on the surrounding buildings, burning the entire Taoist temple into a sea of ​​fire.

Liu Tu held his breath and stared straight ahead, the flames reflected in his eyes rippling.

tread.

The rising flames were torn apart by the wind of fists. Li Jun walked out slowly in the light of the fire, casually brushing away the remaining flames on the tiger head and shoulder armor.

"call"

Liu Tu let out a heavy breath, as if his entire body had been ripped out of his backbone. He smiled bitterly, shook his head, and cursed for the first time.

"I didn't expect you to overturn the table in the end, so damn unlucky."

"Since you have such strength, why did you still cooperate with me in the first place?"

Liu Tu clenched his hands into fists, looked at the approaching figure, and roared angrily: "Why do you want to drag me into the water?"

"If I said that I was just a hair away from death, would you believe me?"

"Almost? What's the difference? Did Zhang Changfeng break free of the seal before he died? Or was Guo Qiu overdrawn by the Daozu's magic weapon, and the power of his self-destruction was not enough?"

Liu Tu was furious and did not hide the unwillingness in his eyes.

"Don't look so hysterical and embarrassed. I think you can afford to lose."

Li Jun walked up to Liu Tu and raised his arm slightly.

Liu Tu was startled and subconsciously wanted to lower his head to dodge, but found that the other party just put his arm around his shoulders.

"It's over, let's go."

The two people, who were supposed to see life and death immediately, actually walked side by side towards the foot of Lion Rock like old friends.

The cold wind blew around him and the cold rain hit his face. When he walked through the collapsed mountain gate and passed the plaque that looked like a tombstone, Liu Tu's empty and absent-minded eyes finally came into focus.

There were no loud curses or whispered pleas for mercy.

The noble-born and powerful Ruxu just sighed heavily and turned his head to look at the warrior next to him who had exceeded his expectations time and time again.

"Although I know this is nonsense, I still want to ask, do you want me to die?" Liu Tu asked with a bitter smile.

"There is no reason for you to live."

Li Jun smiled and said: "From the first time we met, all I had in mind was the idea of ​​​​seeking skin from the tiger. It was nothing more than to see who was more ruthless and evil, and who could have the last laugh. If I don't go to Lion Rock tonight, what will happen later? I should be the one who dies, right?"

"It really goes with the old saying, you can always walk by the river without getting your shoes wet. This time, you are really awesome!"

Liu Tu was silent for a moment before slowly speaking, his expression full of frustration.

No wonder he was like this. He finally waited until his father was willing to let go of Liu Clan's position as head of the clan, and his brother, who he considered a serious nuisance, was also attacked by a powerful enemy seeking revenge. The advantage and initiative of the entire situation was in his own hands.

But just at the final moment when the dragon was about to be slayed, someone suddenly overturned the entire chessboard, leaving no more moves.

Anyone else would probably not be able to accept it easily.

"I'm really unwilling." Liu Tu looked up to the sky and sighed.

"The outcome is already determined. It's useless to be unwilling. Don't trade anything with me anymore. I won't accept that trick. If you want to die with dignity, you should make less detours. If you want to cry, cry if you want. If you want to scold, then scold. , tell me something sincerely after venting."

Liu Tu, who seemed to have resigned himself to his fate, lowered his head and calmly asked, "Is there anything else you can say sincerely?"

"Yes, you at least have something true to say to me."

Li Jun raised his eyes and looked at the bright lights at the foot of the mountain, and said slowly: "I heard Gu Xi mentioned before that you were actually born as early as the Longwu period, but you were raised as an embryo for twenty years. Your father, Liu Jinxun, chose to give birth to you only after he was sure that he had no hope of further advancement in his career and that heirs were no longer a hindrance. But Liu Dian was lucky enough to not have experienced your two decades of darkness and death. , don’t you have any resentment in your heart?”

"Kill me and my brothers, and also kill my father. Li Jun, have you always been so greedy?"

Liu Tu laughed loudly, almost crying.

"I wasn't greedy before, because if I was greedy, I would die. Now I want to be greedy, because if I wasn't greedy, I would die."

Liu Tu, whose lips turned blue, did not answer directly, but asked with a smile: "Li Jun, can you answer me honestly? Did you come to Jinling just to avenge Su Ce?"

Li Jun smiled and asked, "Isn't it the same?"

"I didn't think it was the case before, but now I think it is."

Liu Tu said in a sincere tone: "If I could have known you earlier, maybe we would not have become enemies, but instead would have become good friends."

Li Jun nodded: "You can give it a try in your next life."

"Then don't flip the table again in your next life. At least let me win once."

"Then why don't you join me in martial arts training? I'll teach you how to lift the table with you, roll up your sleeves and slap them in the face. This kind of thing is very enjoyable. I guarantee you will be addicted once."

"It's a deal!"

Liu Tu raised his hand and patted the armor-covered arm on his shoulder, and said with a hint of begging: "To be honest, I did hate him, but I still don't want to betray my biological father. . I have lost, so let’s leave a good name for myself.”

"Okay." Li Jun answered neatly.

Liu Tu narrowed his eyes, looking relieved.

"Before sending me on my way, can you give me some more time to listen to a boring story? I have been wearing the mask of a hypocrite for so long that I have forgotten how to open my heart to others. These things have weighed on my mind for many years. If I can't get them out, the road to the underworld will be very tiring."

"Go ahead, I'll listen."

On the dark and stormy mountain road, armored warriors and Confucian scholars walked shoulder to shoulder.

It was going down the mountain, but also seeing off.

"I don't actually want to be a Confucian, even if it's a Confucian of a first-class family. In a Confucian family, fathers are afraid of their sons fighting for power, brothers are afraid of their brothers seizing profits, there are conspiracies and intrigues, fear and suspicion, and anything can happen. But what kind of person I become is determined by genes, not something I can choose, so after coming to this world, I cherish this life very much."

"In order to survive, I studied hard day and night, and I was promoted to the sequence without relying on the six arts chip. After entering the officialdom, I was willing to endure any hardship and do any dirty things. I almost did all the dirty things that went against the teachings of Confucianism. Bullying the superiors and flattering the inferiors, cheating, framing, these are all very common, I even He once hypnotized and brainwashed a third-class family, making them believe that they were paper and pen, inkstone, and the golden house and beautiful woman in the book. If I really want to tell you all about it, I am afraid that I will never finish talking about it until dawn.

"Later, I relied on the brand of the eldest son of the Liu family to gain a foothold in the six ministries of Jinling. I gathered a lot of Confucian officials under my command, and asked them to promote me and create a reputation of being honest and upright. I longed to wear a vermilion official robe one day, walk into the real temple, become a third-class official, or even become the leader of a party like Zhang Fengyue, and personally leave my name Liu Tu in the history of the Ming Empire, and imprint my life in the minds of the people of the world, and immortalize it forever!"

"But now looking back, these are just blown away by the wind and rain."

Liu Tu sighed: "I now miss the dark twenty years you mentioned, no one disturbed, quiet and peaceful. If I have the chance, I would rather be an ordinary Buddhist, not learning to enter the world, but to leave the world, enjoy bliss in my own Buddhist kingdom, not expecting not to go to hell after death, but just want to live this life leisurely. "

Li Jun shook his head and said, "The current Buddhist order will not be born."

"So the world is now a nest of snakes and rats, and they are in collusion with each other!"

Speaking of this, Liu Tu's footsteps suddenly stopped, his arms spread out, and he whistled in the wind. "Father, do you really think that betting on the Spring and Autumn Association can make you a step further in the Liu family? You are wrong, very wrong! When things are extremely difficult, you need to be bold. What can you be bold with? Can you get through all the difficulties by being bold? ! Liu Dian is a disaster, not an opportunity!"

Liu Tu turned his head to look at Li Jun and smiled, "Let my brother come down to accompany me. "

Li Jun suddenly fell silent, and stretched out his right hand suddenly, with a cold light penetrating into his neck!

A hideous head soared into the sky, fell down the mountain road, and rolled into the wind and rain.

"Master Ma, why do you think the Wuxu sect lost so badly back then?"

Li Jun held a lit cigarette in his palm with his bloody thumb and index finger, took a deep breath, and asked in confusion.

"Fathers and sons, brothers and sisters, what the clans do now is no different from what the sects did back then. "

The vicissitudes of life floated out of the red eyes. At this moment, countless sparks suddenly flew up from the Lion Mountain. After swaying into the air, they exploded into pale "Dian" characters.

The soul is back.

The sad call was boiling in the sky, and it could be clearly heard even on the top of the mountain.

The Ghost Festival is here, and the gates of hell are open.

Are the wandering souls willing to return home? Li Jun didn't know, and he was not interested in knowing.

He flicked his finger, and the cigarette butt that was about to burn out just flew up, and was wetted and knocked down by raindrops, and then crushed by the footsteps going down the mountain.

After killing the people on the mountain, there are still people down the mountain.

"You Tianque want me to learn from Lu Ning? You are not qualified yet!"

In the Liu family's mansion on Taiping Street, the three-in-one courtyard with blue bricks and gray tiles, angry curses came from the study room that was of great significance to the entire Liu family.

"I am sitting here now, Liu Jinxun, what qualifications do you have to talk to me? You should learn if I tell you to. Can Lu Ning let his son die, but you can't die?"

"You two old fools are so shameless to sneak into my Liu family, just to stand up for that lone Wuxu? Do you know that you are courting disaster and digging graves for Tianque and the only remaining Wuxu sect? !"

"At worst, we can divide the world again. Who is afraid of whom? I have lived to this day with a thick skin, just because I don't want the Wuxu sect to become extinct. Now that the fire has been lit, it is natural for us old bones to be firewood."

"I can stay out of this matter, but Liu Dian can't die."

"It's true that the emperor loves the eldest son and the people love the youngest son. But we have come to your door today. Who do you think you can hide the things you have done from?"

"What do you mean? ! "

"On the one hand, you hinted to your youngest son Liu Dian that he must be bold when things get really tough, and on the other hand, you gave Zhang Changfeng, who was stamped with the Confucian Seal, to your eldest son Liu Tu as a trump card. What do you have in mind that I need to tell you?"

". I really underestimated your Tianque."

"It's not Tianque, it's Zhang Changfeng. He's not a coward. The two ambitious sons who have gradually gotten out of control died, so that you can continue to control the entire Liu family safely. Liu Jinxun, you have already made a lot of money."

"Make money? Hahahaha."

Outside the Liu family's house, which was suddenly silent, the white shadows of the word "dian" were cast all over the street, like lanterns floating in the night rain.

One of the lanterns flew over the towering eaves of the house and stayed on the window lattice for a moment, like a person raising his hand to knock, but in the midst of the indistinguishable joy or bitter smile, he chose to slide out of the window and fly into the sky.

The most ruthless scholar, his lonely soul never returns home.
