Chapter 340 Four

In the past, Shen Lang could not 'show' his face, but today Shen Lang has to show up, because after all, he is the head of the outer sect. Although he doesn't like this identity very much, and even has some disgusting feelings, but now After all, he is still burdened with this identity. There is a saying that sometimes compromise is also an art, although for Shen Lang, this can only serve as a comforting effect in his heart.

Xu Xiaoqiang also deliberately changed his clothes at this time. If he wants to follow the young master on such an occasion, he must have a passable identity, and he doesn't want to miss such an opportunity. Let myself follow, although he didn't say it clearly, but I know that this is a good intention, so I am very grateful to my young master in my heart.

On the other hand, Shen Lang looked at Xu Xiaoqiang's appearance, and couldn't hold back his smile. He was such a person, and he had some words in his heart, but he just couldn't say them out of his mouth. It was really hard to imagine what he was at the beginning. How did he come here? It was hard enough for him.

When he came to the room he was familiar with, Shen Lang looked at his senior brother who had been standing there for a long time, and nodded slightly to him. As for the others, Shen Lang simply ignored them, although he knew that these people were basically masters. The direct descendant of the teacher brother, but he is such a person, others are somewhat helpless when they see Shen Lang like this. At the beginning, they still have some opinions on Shen Lang, but as time changes, everyone They all felt that apart from Shen Lang's slight smile towards Senior Brother Yuqing, others would not even think about earning anything from him, this also includes Senior Brother in charge, I really don't know what to say about him.

In addition to Shen Lang's indifferent expression, everyone's affection for Shen Lang has also increased day by day in the past two years. He is not greedy for money, let alone power. operation, itself is not involved in it.Everyone also understands that Shen Lang sitting in this position is not only not harmful to everyone, but also has great benefits. He has calmed everyone's conflicts. Although Shen Lang is the person in charge of the senior brother, the things he did In everyone's opinion, it is very reasonable and very organized.

After looking at the layout of the room, Shen Lang walked directly to one of the chairs and sat down, feeling a little thorny, but the others didn't say anything, and even smiled jokingly when they looked at each other Get up, and after waiting for a short time, I saw the head teacher walking in with steady steps, Shen Lang only opened his eyes at this time, stood up and shouted applause together with everyone teach.

The head teacher didn't say anything, just looked at everyone very plainly, but he still stayed for a while when looking at Shen Lang, although everyone noticed this situation, but no one was jealous, except for knowing Shen Lang Besides, everyone knows what will happen today.After the inspection was over, the head teacher turned around, and everyone followed the head teacher out of the room very neatly.

Although Shen Lang is in charge of the outer sect, he is only ranked fifth among this crowd. This is due to some other reasons, otherwise his position would be even further behind, although today's weather is very cold Okay, but when this comes out, everyone still feels a little smoky, and they don't know what is hidden behind the smog. It may be a good thing, but it may also be a bad thing.

During the whole morning, Shen Lang followed behind the master master so mechanically. Anyone who understands can see that Shen Lang's whole movement is a bit like sleepwalking. If it is not something particularly depressing, that It must be that he didn't take the present matter to heart.Of course, the teacher noticed this situation, and he also understood that Shen Lang didn't like these meaningless etiquette very much, but there was no way to do this, he had to do it like this.

It wasn't until noon that Shen Lang finally freed himself, because those things in the afternoon were no longer very important. Shen Lang didn't have to continue to attend, so he just found someone below to replace him. 'There are a lot of people on this side, and they even tear up their faces for this quota, but this is no longer Shen Lang's concern.

After lunch, Shen Lang rested in the side hall. Xu Xiaoqiang stood at the inside of the door. Although the door was closed, there were still two Taoist priests standing outside the door with very serious expressions. Of course they knew what was going on inside. Who is this young boy? Such a young person is so high-ranking, and when the head teacher sent them over, he gave them a very serious warning, even though they were people around the head teacher.

It wasn't until after two o'clock in the afternoon that Shen Lang heard the knock on the door. Xu Xiaoqiang opened the door and listened to the people outside. He came to the place in front of Shen Lang in small steps, and briefly explained the situation just now. Once again, Shen Lang sorted out his clothes. Shen Lang never relaxed himself about this detail, and he didn't know if he had developed this habit, or because of other reasons.

After leaving here, Shen Lang didn't just go to the Martial Arts Hall. It was too tiring to stay there, and he had to put on a look all the time. This was not what Shen Lang liked. He had his own place, although the whole The surrounding area has been surrounded by Wudang's disciples, and even a mosquito might not be able to fly there, but Shen Lang has his special identity after all, so he turned into a small hall next to the martial arts hall, and entered the back door of the small hall. It closed very naturally, and Shen Lang walked to a lattice door and pushed it slightly.

Instead, Xu Xiaoqiang looked left and right, found a chair and came over, Shen Lang sat down without refusing, Xu Xiaoqiang also leaned tightly against Shen Lang, carefully watching the situation in the martial arts hall, this However, it is a good opportunity to develop skills and knowledge, which must not be missed.It is only with the young master of my own family that I have such an opportunity. Otherwise, let alone entering this gate, even going up this mountain would be difficult.

Shen Lang looked at all kinds of things in the Martial Arts Hall, and felt a little sigh in his heart, what kind of thing is this?Today is the day of the Grand Ceremony. According to common sense, it is a bit inappropriate for such a thing to happen on the day of the Grand Ceremony, but I don’t know which headmaster thought it up, anyway, it has been passed down like this.

Wudang is a brand, and I am afraid there is no very accurate number of people inside and outside the following people, and you can't guarantee that everyone will be so law-abiding. To put it in a bad way, if it is really possible, the earth will be peaceful long ago. Yes, but even if someone committed a crime, after all, there is the Wudang brand on top of his head!If you dare to smash it, you will hit Wudang in the face, which is unbearable for Wudang.

But Wudang can't just let the people below discredit its own brand!Reasoning is another matter, but in the world of warriors, power is more used to speak, so there is today's situation, everyone puts everything in this martial arts hall, what about redressing grievances, reasoning Yes, you just come up!Whether you win or lose, you will be given an explanation.

Of course, there are other people among them. This is why Shen Lang is sitting here today. Some people or sects are also salivating for the Wudang brand. Didn’t they say that they must buy Wudang? This sign has been smashed, but if you step on it, this is what they expect to see. In ordinary words, it is a group of people who came to make trouble. If you can subdue them, everything It's better to say something, if they can't subdue them, this will be in trouble.

However, this gang of troublemakers doesn't have many good people under their hands. They are also deliberately selected, and some of them are even specially trained. The purpose of coming here is not to make you feel too good I am afraid that Wudang himself has done a lot of things, or to put it more bluntly, although everyone is joking on the surface, they are stabbing each other behind their backs. It is as simple as that, and there is no so-called justice. There is no so-called malice, but only so-called interests.

But after all, it is in Wudang, and it is still today's occasion, so at the beginning of Wudang, someone came up and said a few words, whether everyone listened to it or not, but everyone will give this face, after the nonsense is finished, there is no one else When we came up, two Taoist priests from Wudang came up with a so-called introduction. After they all went down, this was officially started, and everyone's spiritual heads began to be gradually picked up.

Shen Lang doesn't have much energy, which doesn't mean that Xu Xiaoqiang is the same. It's really the first time he has seen such a scene, so from the beginning he watched it intently, but the second match made him feel embarrassed. As soon as the 'color' darkened, looking at the blood-stained two people in the martial arts hall, Xu Xiaoqiang felt unbearable in his heart. You must know that you are also a person who has gone through a bloody storm, and you are not very unfamiliar with such a scene, but looking at this contest Dou himself felt uncomfortable for a while.

"Master, do you need to look like this!" Xu Xiaoqiang said with some sighs, "This one is fighting to the death, and no one cares about it? This is going to kill people."

Although Shen Lang didn't take offense at this, he said calmly: "I forgot who I told you that the law is only called the law in a limited range. You were originally cultivated by the country, so you are right. This may feel unacceptable, but let me ask you a question, when you committed a crime, did you think the law was really useful at that time?"

"Why is it like this?" Xu Xiaoqiang still felt a little incomprehensible.

"Why is it like this? There is no way to explain this question, and it doesn't make sense. Although I also hope that sometimes the law can be equal in front of everyone, but this is just saying now. Maybe as the society The development of this aspect will be gradually improved, but not now. What I want to tell you is the rules, sometimes the rules are more useful than the law, and more deeply, the rules are sometimes more fair than the law, but It is even more cruel, just like now, standing in this hall means that the matter can no longer be resolved by law."

"This is too unfair, and it even feels a bit like the strong prey on the weak."

"Hehe, you can say that, but you can't say that at the same time. It can be said that in the world of warriors, whoever has the biggest fist has the right to speak. It's like the two people who just stood on the stage, You can choose to stand up and decide the outcome. If you win, it represents your understanding of the matter, and it also means that you have won the right to speak in this matter. In fact, everyone has no clear idea of ​​who is right or who is wrong. Recognize. You can’t say this because everything has two sides. This rule is suitable here, but it is not suitable in other places. Putting it in any other place, the way of saying this thing is different. gone."

"It's too complicated. It's much more complicated than human society. Fortunately, I didn't get involved. I really didn't know it. I was shocked when I saw it." Xu Xiaoqiang said with a sigh. In the past, he was very yearning for this. But after seeing one of them today, he already felt the cruelty, and this cruelty was a bit too cruel.

"What do you mean you didn't get involved? Have you ever heard such a saying that people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes. Sometimes it's not you who look for things, but things take the initiative to find you. Just like me now, you Because I really want to stay in this place, and from my heart, I am no less disgusted with such things than you are, but when things get to this point, you can’t stand up, unless you don’t take this path.”

The two watched a few more fights, and the process was very fast. Sometimes, after going up, the two of them didn't even need to use two moves, and someone would get down directly, and the person who got down was basically either seriously injured or not far from death. It was very bloody and brutal. While observing carefully, Xu Xiaoqiang also asked with some doubts, "Master, I have watched a few fights and practiced with you. I found that few people When you lift your feet, even if you lift your feet, you can't lift them up high, or even below your knees, what's the reason? What's the reason?"

"I just have this spare time today. Let me explain it to you. In a more profound way, the world is divided into yin and yang, and people are in the world. The so-called breaking through one's own limit refers to breaking the yin and yang division of heaven and earth." To put it a little more vaguely, if you are regarded as a world, the upper part of you is the sky, and the lower part is the earth. The two sides must be well combined to form a world. Overall. To put it more clearly, in the process of fighting, there must be a process of borrowing strength, and if your legs are off the ground, you will not be able to borrow strength. From this aspect Say, if you keep your feet off the ground for too long, the longer your leverage will be, do you understand me when I say that?"

Xu Xiaoqiang nodded his head slightly, his young master's explanation was simple enough, if he still didn't understand, then he was a human instead of a pig.In the next competition, I also paid great attention to the people on the field, and found that everyone was really like this. Although they all used their feet, they couldn't raise their feet particularly high, but I also saw in the process that there was a Bit raises the foot too high.

As a result, his opponent directly 'inserted' his legs between the opponent's legs with a direct lunge, and then his body was like a big bow. He stepped forward while exerting force on his shoulders, directly hitting After entering this person's arms, that person was directly knocked out like a kite. After falling to the ground, he vomited blood, but he didn't get up again, and he didn't know what happened.

Shen Lang looked at the winner in the arena, and he didn't seem to have much expression on his face. He glanced at the person lying on the ground, then turned around and walked away.On the contrary, Shen Lang's interest in this childish young man suddenly became interested. He was only about sixteen or seventeen years old, but the fight in the field just now showed a rare calmness, which was not at all like A child, and he is very experienced in fighting, and he is not impatient.

If his opponent can be like him, then he will definitely be the one who loses. Unfortunately, his opponent despises him too much. After the beginning, it is an extreme onslaught, hoping to catch him by surprise, but he did not expect to be caught The boy was held back, and even a little injured during the process, but after going through this process, his opponent was more unlucky.

Shen Lang tapped the chair twice with his own hand, and motioned to Xu Xiaoqiang who was standing behind him, "Call me the boy who came down just now, and let the people at home check it out!" After Xu Xiaoqiang heard this, Immediately, he was stunned, it is not easy for someone who can arouse the interest of his young master!But I didn't see any difference in him, or where he was more powerful.

On the other hand, Shen Lang also smiled when he saw Xu Xiaoqiang, "Three years of martial arts training is not as good as a life-and-death contest, just like you are now, although you have experienced life-and-death trials, but your tempering is not as good as life and death in the competition. Trials are different. If you fight against that boy now, you can win, and even win very easily. If you fight against him again after three months, you will win too, but just It's a bit difficult, and after three years, it's not easy to say, he might not win, but at least he won't lose."
