I haven't heard anything about him for a long time. I wonder what his current level of cultivation is?
middle part.
It is raining and the sky is dark.
Building city.
This is a big city that is slightly worse than Tiancheng.
Wangyue Tower is one of the top ten restaurants in Loucheng. In the dim rainy night, the entire Wangyue Tower is like a huge lantern, with light shining from every window.
Wangyue Tower occupies a huge area. Not only is it a seven-story building, but several gardens around this seven-story building are also owned by Wangyue Tower. Here you can simply drink and eat, and sit and talk. Only the first floor is
The hall was full of seats, and there were private rooms on the second floor. However, because of the rain, there was almost no one in the garden, and the guests all gathered in the restaurant.
A man in shabby clothes was sitting there, his hair was dirty and tangled. There was only one plate of food on the table, but three empty wine jars were already poured on the table. There was only one wine jar left in the man's hand, and he was looking up in pain.
drink.
In such a luxurious place as Wangyue Tower, it is very unsuitable to have such a person drinking. Even if it is a meal in the lobby on the first floor, it is not cheap.
At this time, the people drinking in the hall looked at the monk from time to time, gestured with their eyes, and then laughed and chatted. Although their voices were not loud, they obviously had no fear of the man in shabby clothes.
"This man is useless!"
"Yes, I think back then Yue Tonghui was very proud and very particular. He had to dress well, eat well, walk, sit and lie down carefully. His hair was so smooth that even a fly couldn't stand on it. Are you watching?
Look at him now, his hair is all in locks."
"How did he become like this? I remember that he was a very proud person."
"That's not ordinary pride! Haha... he declared that he would take the road of invincibility and defeat all the heroes in the world in the Tianxuan Competition. But... pfft, he didn't even get the qualification to participate in the Tianxuan Competition."
"How could this happen? I remember that during the last Tianxuan Competition, he had already completed the Foundation Establishment, right? It is said that he also had perfect killing intent. With his strength, he really has a lot of potential to participate in the Tianxuan Competition.
He hopes to defeat all the heroes in the world and win the first place."
"You know what the heck! How proud are people? How can they possibly participate in the Tianxuan Competition of the second echelon?
He wants to participate in the first-tier competition at the level of the Golden Core. And then... pfft... let me tell you, by the end of the Tianxuan Competition, he has not broken through the Golden Core."
"He...isn't a golden elixir now?"
"It is now, but the Tianxuan Competition is over!"
"…………"
Yue Tonghui drank the last drop of wine in the wine jar, put down the wine glass, stood up with numb eyes, and walked out the door.
"Sir, you haven't paid yet." A waiter stopped Yue Tonghui with a smile on his face but sarcasm in his eyes.
Yue Tonghui looked at the guy slowly, then with a snap, he pressed the long sword in his hand on the table and said:
"This is worth the price of the drink."
"no……"
"Let him go, his sword is enough for the drink." The shopkeeper's voice came from behind the counter. The waiter got out of the way, and Yue Tonghui staggered out of the door, and his clothes were quickly soaked by the drizzle.
wet.
I don’t know how long he walked, but he stood in the middle of the street. It was already midnight. He looked up at the dark clouds covering the sky and murmured to himself:
"Gu Shuo...has already left his body...he has become a hero of the human race, but I am stuck in place, unable to move forward, hahaha...hahaha..."
A figure appeared opposite him. Yue Tonghui looked at that person: "You are... the shopkeeper!"
"Yes! Yue Tonghui, you look like this now, tsk!"
"Are you laughing at me?" There was a trace of self-mockery on Yue Tonghui's lips.
"hehe……"
This person was the shopkeeper who was in the hall on the first floor of Wangyue Building just now. He shook his head and said: "I just came to see how Yue Tonghui, who was so arrogant at the time, looks like now."
"Now? Haha..." Yue Tonghui's laughter was full of ridicule: "Who do you think you are? You can laugh at me? Are you a late-stage Jindan? I will kill you like a chicken."
The shopkeeper pondered for a moment and said: "You are taking the road of invincibility. Judging from your appearance, you must have failed. How much lethality does a person who fails on the road of invincibility still have? Killing me is like killing a chicken? Haha..."
At this point, he paused and said: "There are no invincible people in this world. This road to invincibility is a joke. If you can't go on, no one can go on."
Yue Tonghui's numb eyes turned cold: "There is no one? Doesn't Yunxiao not count as a human?"
"Yunxiao?" The shopkeeper smiled: "That is the legend of our human race. We were invincible all the way to the Tribulation. It's just a pity. When we walked out of the wilderness, in order to protect our human race, we fought three Tribulation Demons alone.
Finally fell, alas..."
Having said this, the shopkeeper looked at Yue Tonghui sarcastically: "You really overestimate your capabilities. You actually want to be on par with Senior Yunxiao. Where do you get such a big face? Look at your appearance. What's the difference between you and trash?
?”
"Do you want to die?" Yue Tonghui stood up straight. At this moment, he was like an unsheathed sword, with murderous intent rushing towards the shopkeeper opposite.
"Take it!" The shopkeeper took out the long sword that Yue Tonghui had just placed in the restaurant from the storage ring: "Draw the sword! Let me see how much stench you, this piece of garbage, can still emit!"
Yue Tonghui reached out and grabbed his sword, with a trace of pain in his eyes.
What's wrong with you now?
This sword is my life. I have sworn that if the sword is missing, everyone will die.
What about now?
He actually used his sword as money for drinks!
"hehe……"
He laughed twice at himself, raised his right hand and grasped the hilt of the sword. The moment he grasped the hilt, his whole body became cold. As the sword was pulled out of the scabbard little by little, his body
The cold sword marks were reflected, and the sword marks circled around the body.
Man and sword unite.
"Qiang!"
The sword energy roared and slashed towards the shopkeeper opposite.
"boom!"
The Dragon Sword Qi was crushed by a big hand, which was the spiritual power condensed by the shopkeeper. Then the big hand flipped over and slapped Yue Tonghui on the face, sending Yue Tonghui flying away.
"Pa bang bang..."
Yue Tonghui's body was whipped into the air and rolled continuously in mid-air. Finally, he fell to the ground with a thud. He buried his head in the rain on the ground.
Tap tap tap...
The sound of footsteps walking towards him splashed the stagnant rainwater.
He didn't dare to look up, not because he was afraid of death, but because he couldn't face the cruel reality.
His cultivation is still there, but he has lost his sharpness. If he was a sharp sword before, now he is a blunt sword.
A rusty blunt sword!
Because his heart is rusty!
I could no longer go on the invincible road, and I lost all my energy and spirit.
"tread!"
One big foot picked at the back of his head, and then the other foot picked at his back. The shopkeeper stepped on him like a dog, stepping on his body.
Every foot that stepped on him made his heart collapse. His moon-like nobility, his soaring aspirations, and his stern pride were shattered inch by inch. He buried his face in it like an ostrich.
In the rain, a feeling he hadn't felt for a long time, a feeling of wanting to cry, surged in his heart, but he held it back tightly.
tread!
The shopkeeper stepped down from his body and walked into the rainy night. His voice floated over from the rainy night:
"You will not be welcome in Wangyue Tower from now on. You are not worthy of a trash like you. If you dare to step into Wangyue Tower again, I will break your legs. I will leave that sword to you and use it as a beating stick for beggars."
"Click..."
Yue Tonghui felt that something was broken in his heart, and tears could no longer hold back and rushed out of his eyes, mixing with the turbid rain on the ground.
His shoulders were twitching, and although he was holding back, he still whined.
boom……
There was a thunder and heavy rain.
Blah blah blah...
I don't know how much time passed, but he came through the water with gentle steps. Yue Tonghui suppressed the sobs in his mouth and buried his head in the rain without daring to look up. The heavy rain was like a whip, beating on his body.
The footsteps stopped beside him, and he felt that the rain hitting him disappeared, and he heard the sound of rain hitting plantains in his ears, sounding like rain hitting the plantains above his head.
But he still didn't want to look up.
He fears……
He is afraid to see anyone!
The heavy rain kept falling, and Yue Tonghui lay motionless in the rain. After a while, an orchid-like voice sounded, and the voice was mixed with heartache:
"Brother Yue..."
Yue Tonghui couldn't lie down anymore. He slowly raised his head, first saw a pair of small repair shoes, and then looked up. Above a light blue dress, there was a fair and pure face, especially that
A pair of eyes, like stars in the clear night sky.
"Small...small building..."
Nie Xiaolou held an oil-paper umbrella and squatted down. Just by squatting, his curves were revealed. He stretched out a slender hand and supported Yue Tonghui:
"Brother Yue, get up first."
The delicate body stood up and bloomed like an orchid. Yue Tonghui was helped up. Nie Xiaolou let go of Yue Tonghui and held an oil-paper umbrella with one hand. He used the oil-paper umbrella to cover most of the umbrella for Yue Tonghui from the heavy rain.
Lifting the skirt, her eyes as clear as stars flashed with heartache:
"Where's Sister Hua? The last time we were separated, Sister Hua was already pregnant. How could you...Sister Hua let you be like this...so..."
The scene of killing his wife and children with his own hands flashed through Yue Tonghui's mind, but his eyes were numb and he said:
"She...is dead, and so is my child!"
"I'm sorry!" Nie Xiaolou's face turned pale: "No wonder you... my little sister's house is nearby. Let's go to my little sister's house to have a cup of tea and warm up."
Yue Tonghui shook his head, and before he could speak, a delicate hand supported him: "Let's go, don't forget, Sister Hua and I are good friends. We are also... good friends."
With Nie Xiaolou's support, Yue Tonghui mechanically followed Nie Xiaolou's footsteps. He sighed softly, and his eyes softened when he looked at Nie Xiaolou.
He and Nie Xiaolou were not friends. He, Yue Tonghui, was on the invincible path. How could he have the leisure to make friends?
But he did know Nie Xiaolou, because Nie Xiaolou knew his wife. As for whether Nie Xiaolou and his wife were friends or how close their relationship was, he didn’t know and didn’t have the heart to care about it. At that time, he
Dedicated to taking the path of invincibility, he only has the sword and the intention to kill in his heart.
Even his wife was married when he was young. He often regretted it later, feeling that he was too young at that time and his Taoism was not firm enough. Otherwise, he would never have married and had children.
The sword and killing intent are filled up, and there is no gap for anything else.
Including his wife and son.
But now, his path to invincibility was cut off, and his Taoist heart was completely crushed by that shopkeeper. He felt weak as never before, both physically and mentally.
At this moment, he saw the heartache in Nie Xiaolou's eyes, and felt the warmth of Nie Xiaolou's delicate hand holding his arm.
The rain stopped.
The clouds have dispersed.
Stars appeared in the night sky, and the starlight fell down. Yue Tonghui used to be devoted to the Tao, and developed a cold, even cruel character. But now the coldness in his heart has a touch of warmth. Some even dare not look at Nie Xiao
Lou, he just felt the warmth of Nie Xiaolou's little hand on his arm with all his heart.
After the rain, the streets became lively again. There were various shops on both sides of the streets. The lights spread along the streets. There were also more pedestrians on the streets. Yue Tonghui and Nie Xiaolou avoided puddles while walking in the lights.
.
Yue Tonghui's eyes flashed with stormy clouds from time to time, showing that he was currently in extremely unstable mood.
What exactly are you pursuing with this voice?
Invincible road?
He remembered the shopkeeper's words. In the tens of thousands of years of human history, only Yunxiao had successfully walked the path of invincibility. Who did he think he was?
He secretly glanced at Nie Xiaolou from the corner of his eye, thinking of his wife and son.
My cold heart actually felt a little painful!
what 's wrong?
It is impossible for me to have such emotions in myself.
The decadent mood spread from the bottom of his heart.
I am useless!
The invincible road is broken, and the Taoist heart is broken.
A wave of unwillingness welled up from the bottom of his heart. He turned his head slightly and looked at Nie Xiaolou beside him. The starlight fell on Nie Xiaolou's body, and his fair face was shining.
He couldn't help but feel slightly absent-minded. Feeling his gaze, Nie Xiaolou turned his face. Yue Tonghui couldn't help but have a trace of panic in his eyes, and hurriedly avoided his sight. Nie Xiaolou's eyes flashed with tenderness.
The gentle gaze enveloped Yue Tonghui's cheeks. Yue Tonghui's face felt hot, and the unwillingness in his heart just now blurted out:
"Xiaolou, am I wrong to take the invincible path?"
Nie Xiaolou said softly: "There is no right or wrong road, there are thousands of avenues, all born from the source. It is just our choice."
"But...my road is broken!"
"It's just that the road you originally chose is broken, not all roads are broken. For example, I like snacks. I also like pastries, and I also like candied fruits..."
She took out an oil-paper bag from her storage ring, opened it, and found some candied fruits inside. She picked up a fiery red candied fruit between her two white and slender jade fingers, handed it to Yue Tonghui's mouth, and lightly opened her red lips:
"Brother Yue, try it."
Yue Tonghui opened his mouth, bit the candied fruit gently, then rolled his tongue, rolled the candied fruit into his mouth, and chewed it gently. Nie Xiaolou's eyes were filled with joy:
