Death Sutra

The blacksmith Lao Hong was sitting in his shop, the fire was extinguished, the bellows was silent, the tools were covered with dust, he had not touched the hammer for a year, and the cheerful clang of his neighbors heard him as another The strange sound of the world accidentally.

Recalling the experience of most of the past, he found that his efforts have been squandered, and the people who care about him go first, the ideals of pursuing are deteriorating, and even the hard-working professions are interrupted when he still has spare capacity.

The first person came in and stood at the door with a torch. The face was still very young, nervous and excited, and the eyes were vigilantly swept away, reminding Lao Hong of another young man.

The second person came in and shouldered the two sides standing opposite Laohong. He was calm and seemed to have something to say.

More and more people are rushing in, and they are arranged on both sides of the second person to form a half circle. Like a multi-finger giant's palm, you can squeeze him into a powder with just a light grip.

Lao Hong recognized these eleven people and was particularly familiar with some of them. They used to be friends, and they were indignant at the status quo. They formed the Tianshan sect under difficult circumstances. Now he becomes an outsider and does not even have the right to be in his own trial. Speaking and defending.

The middle person is Du Yang, who has never been a friend of Lao Hong, but now he is the sovereign who is in power.

When Lao Hong didn't get up, he sat in a dilapidated chair and looked up and said, "Is it decided?"

Du gradually nodded slowly, as if making such a decision was a very difficult matter. "We have no choice."

"You are just turning a blind eye to your choices."

Du gradually smiled a little, revealing a kind of sympathy with ridicule. "You are still stubborn. The Dragon King is not worth trusting. We have discussed it many times."

That's right, many times. Lao Hong gradually lost his right to speak in this process.

Du gradually paused for a while, still holding the last hope of persuading Lao Hong. "You handed Lin Shan to the Dragon King, he died. Tianshan Zong and the Dragon King formed an alliance and were abandoned. The country of Xiangji accepted the dragon king who had no way to go. The country was destroyed; Xiaoyaohai married the princess to the Dragon King. It became a barracks, and there were countless deaths and injuries; the North Court invited the Dragon King to be a guest, splitting..."

No one can deny this series of facts. A blacksmith around Du gradually spoke. He thought that he was still a friend of Laohong and was obliged to pull him. "The dragon king is insidious and deceitful, with the red crow as the flag, it is clear that Ominous people. Wherever he goes, there is destruction. You must not hand over the city to such a person. Lao Hong, wake up, the enemy is currently, Tianshan Zong should work together..."

Lao Hongming’s argument does not change the reality, or can’t help but say: “Why don’t you come back to see it? Everything that Dragon King went to was filled with traps and destruction, but he survived. This proves that he is an unusual Character. Saitama City is in crisis, why not ask for help from such people? If you are looking for a dog in a nursing home, I would rather have a bulldog that the six parents do not recognize."

"This is not a nursing home. This is looking for the owner. Even the old king of Khan can't restrain the Dragon King. We are even more impossible." Du Yang's voice began to become harsh.

Lao Hong spit out a long breath. "What are you talking about? Let's do it, let everyone rest early."

Lao Hong’s excuse and indifferent attitude angered the other side. One of his "friends" said loudly: "Old Hong, everyone has different opinions, and there is nothing in it, but you can collude with the Dragon King and kill many masters of this sect. Do you not plead guilty?"

"What have I done, how can I plead guilty?" Lao Hong lowered his head and looked like he was obedient, but his tone was firm and tough. "Why, the murderer is Xiaoyuetang, a woman..."

"The Dutch women are the followers of the Dragon King. They are a group!" Another "friend" shouted, as friends, they are more eager than the enemy to sit on the charges of Lao Hong.

In contrast, Du gradually seems very harmonious. "The Dragon King is in Saitama City. This is beyond doubt. You should be clearer than we are."

"I haven't seen the Dragon King for two years, and I haven't seen his men. This is all my statement. The rest is decided by you."

Du gradually looked into the two sides. Lao Hong has already been squeezed into an insignificant position. It is entirely for the sake of giving an account to the old members of the Tianshan sect. They still have all kinds of illusions about the founders.

The blacksmith next to Du gradually came out, his face was like a cold piece of iron, and he took out a dagger from his arms. "You let us down." He said, eager to stab.

"Wait." said Lao Hong, standing up, straight and straight, "Okay."

The dagger pierced his shoulder, and the steel-clad blacksmith suddenly trembled. He no longer had the strength to pull the dagger out, leaving it on the prisoner, retreating crampedly, and his eyes turned to the void.

The heads of the Tianshan sect came up one by one. Someone put a new dagger on Laohong. Some people just shook his dagger and said that they also participated in the execution. Everyone avoided the key parts and will be deadly. Hit to the last person.

Blood drips at the feet, and Lao Hong still stands upright. It seems that this pain is not worth mentioning, but his forehead has already ooged a large amount of sweat.

Du gradually was the patriarch of the Tianshan sect, and therefore the last executioner. He sighed and stepped forward, intending to end his life with the existing dagger in Lao Hong. "Things should not have been like this."

"The world is unpredictable." Lao Hong said four words with difficulty.

Du gradually just raised his hand, and a blacksmith in the crowd suddenly said excitedly: "Maybe we made a mistake, is Lao Hong like a collusion with the Dragon King? The Dragon King did not come to save him."

"Dragon King never saves his accomplices, don't be confused by rumors, unless it is profitable, Dragon King will do the gesture." Du gradually sounded harsh, there are doubts that can be discussed privately, as publicly revealed different opinions, it is beyond his permission. .

The blacksmith bowed his head in shame and did not dare to look at the sovereign. He was too embarrassed to look at Lao Hong.

"If the Dragon King is looking for me, I choose to unite, but it has not yet been realized." Lao Hong said with all his strength to show that he is indeed "guilty."

Du gradually waited for a while, no one asked questions, he decided to start.

The rescue is what happened at this time.

The roof suddenly collapsed into a large piece, but it was not a person who landed, but a large piece of deep yellow smoke, which spread out in several places. It quickly filled the room.

"Don't mess!" Du gradually shouted and closed his breath.

The smoke dissipated, no one was hurt, but the old man was gone.

"Dragon King! It was the Dragon King who saved him!" The crowd was noisy.

Du gradually turned his face, but he thought that this was a good ending. "Is there anyone who believes that Lao Hong has not colluded with the Dragon King?"

No one believes that the old is gone.

Lao Hong once fainted. When he woke up, he found himself lying on the bed, his dagger was gone, the wound was bandaged, but he knew he was dying.

"Is you rescued me?" Lao Hong looked at the stranger in front of the bed and asked weakly.

"It's two of them." Gu Shenwei still keeps easy, Nie Zeng and Tie Linglong stand on the left and right. "It's a pity that one step later, the wound is not fatal. The one that Du gradually slaps on you is difficult to handle." ""

Lao Hong felt that he was not in the air but in the sword. The pain spread from the throat to the abdominal cavity. At the moment he was taken away, Du gradually hit him. "You should not save me, but they are all dead, now everyone. I believe that I have 'collused' with you."

Lao Hong has recognized that the stranger is the Dragon King.

"I am sorry, I have to do this. There are many doubts that can only be answered from you." Gu Shen hopes to save the old Hongyuan, but he must guard against the trap of Tianshan. In order to eliminate the accident, Nie Zeng and Tie Linglong spent a lot of time.

"Ask, oh, I can still talk." Life will be exhausted, but Lao Hong feels that his mind is very clear-headed. He knows that the Dragon King has let him eat the medicine of refreshment. "But I have to ask first."

"please."

"Dragon King intends to monopolize Yuyu City. Or give it to the Central Plains or the North Court?"

Gu Shenwei gave a slight glimpse, and many people asked him about the disposal plan of Jinpengbao. This is the first time someone cares about Yuyucheng. "I haven't thought about it yet." In the face of the deceased, Gu Shen chose to tell the truth. "Do you have any idea?"

"Yuyu City belongs to everyone, but it is not controlled by anyone. This is the reason for its prosperity. I am no longer qualified to imagine the fate of Saitama City. If possible, I hope it will maintain the status quo."

"This is also the wish of Tianshan Zong?" Gu Shenwei understands a bit.

"Tianshan Zong does not know what his wishes are. The one-step king has ambitions. They oppose the one-step king. The North Court people came to the cavalry. They opposed the North Cavalry. Now they are the Central Plains. The Tianshan Zong wants to resist foreign enemies. The big enemy, yes, Tianshan Zong has already formed an alliance with Jinpengbao."

Gu Shenwei guessed it would be like this, but the doubts did not decrease. "Does the Central Plains want to seize the Yucheng City?"

"The Central Plains intends to act on the plane. If it is possible, it will send troops to occupy the city. If the cost is too great, they hope to abolish the position of the governor and establish a permanent city owner. In short, the Central Plains hopes that Yuyu City will return to it."

The Yucheng City governor was rotated by the Central Plains, the North Court, and the Shule State. Now that the North Court is divided and the country is ruined, it is no wonder that the Central Plains’ ambitions have expanded.

"It is the turn of the Central Plains Governor to take office next year." Gu Shen immediately thought of this.

"Well, so by the end of next summer, the Central Plains will take the means to capture the city of Saitama, and those of the Central Plains martial arts are pioneers."

"I rarely see the Central Plains in the city."

"Because there are not many people now, and they all live in the four sangha blues outside the city."

“Four Sangha Blues are in the Central Plains?”

"Maybe, the monks have not made a clear statement."

"The one-step king and the Tianshan ancestors formed an alliance because he did not want to openly be an enemy of the Central Plains?"

The old flooded his eyes, "Yes." He has not had much strength to speak.

The matter is clear, Gu Shenwei found that he may have a conflict with the Central Plains in advance.

Lao Hong has fulfilled his obligations. When he died, he only had the only concern. "How is the hill... how is it dead?"

There are many rumors, Lao Hong wants to know the truth from the Dragon King's mouth, take care of Lin Xiaoshan for many years, but let him die in front of himself, Lao Hong has been embarrassed, he can not remember the appearance of the crush, but can not alleviate the weight of the promise.

Gu Shenwei gestured to Nie Zeng and Tie Ling to go out, and then posted it on the old Hong Er: "He is not dead, he is in the Central Plains."

Lao Hong was silent for a while, "I believe in you." This is his choice.
