Chapter two hundred and ninety-eight mental cracks
Chu Xiu's words made Dong Xiangyi's face instantly turn extremely ugly. He said coldly: "What on earth do you mean?"
Chu Xiu said calmly: "My meaning is obvious, Dong Xiangyi, your purpose is not pure, Jiangdong Five Heroes, others may be worthy of this title, but you are not worthy of it.
Cheng Buqi acted chivalrously and righteously just to fulfill his lifelong wish, but you did it with great utilitarianism.
You, Dong Xiangyi, are from the Dong family in Gaoling, and you are still a direct descendant. However, you were framed and punished by the clan because you competed with the young talents of the previous generation of the Dong family for the position of heir to the family head.
You were so angry that you left the Dong family directly, hoping to make a career outside, and then returned to the Dong family openly and told those people in the Dong family that their choices were wrong.
At this time, you met Cheng Bushi, became sworn friends with them, performed chivalrous acts in the arena, and gained such a great reputation. Don’t you want to do something with this reputation?
Cheng Buqi and others are all from a rough background, and they better understand the sadness of the people at the bottom of the world, but you, a young man from a noble family, how can you have so many emotions? "
Chu Xiu's words made Dong Xiangyi feel cold all over, making him feel like he was being seen from the inside out.
In fact, his identity was not a big secret, and he had no intention of covering it up.
But what he had been thinking in his heart was openly stated by Chu Xiu, which frightened Dong Xiangyi. He had never told anyone about these things. How did Chu Xiu know about them?
Dong Xiangyi took a deep breath and said: "Then what do you mean now? Do you want to tell eldest brother and the others all this to sow discord between us? But I'm afraid you have made the wrong idea. We brothers are friends.
After a few years, even if you say this, it will be in vain. I want to see if they believe you, an enemy with ulterior motives, or if they believe me!"
Chu Xiu shook his head and said: "No, you are wrong. It seems that I am not instigating Cheng Buba and them, but you.
Dong Xiangyi, you want to use the Five Heroes of Jiangdong to become famous in the world, and turn them from the Five Heroes of Jiangdong into the Five Heroes of the East Qi, or even become a hero like Chu Kuangge who is praised by the entire world, with supreme glory and fame.
.
At that time, you can return to the Dong family openly, and you may even be personally invited back to the Dong family by the Dong family members.
It's a pity that you didn't realize it. Did you make a mistake in your abacus?
You Jiangdong Five Heroes are a whole. When outsiders mention you, they will only call you Jiangdong Five Heroes. When it comes to one person, that person is Cheng Buqi, the boss of you Jiangdong Five Heroes, not you Dong Xiangyi!
Think about it, the people and things you encounter along the way are all caused by Cheng Bushi. He is the founder of the Jiangdong Five Heroes and the most famous one among the Jiangdong Five Heroes.
In the end, the world only knows him as Cheng Bushi, and no matter how powerful you, Dong Xiangyi, are, you are just one of the Five Heroes of Jiangdong, a foil, no different from the other three!"
Chu Xiu's words were like sharp knives, each sentence piercing his heart, forcing him to face these things squarely.
In the end, he sadly discovered that everything Chu Xiu said was true.
People in the world only know the Five Heroes of Jiangdong and Cheng Bushi.
If Cheng Buqi says he is Cheng Buqi when he announces his name outside, the other party will suddenly realize and say: Oh, it turns out to be the Five Heroes of Jiangdong, Cheng Daxia.
If Dong Xiangyi reported his name outside, the other party would look confused. If he mentioned the Five Heroes of Jiangdong again, the other party would suddenly realize that he was one of the Five Heroes of Jiangdong.
Yes, he is just one of those.
The Five Heroes of Jiangdong belong to Cheng Buba, and Cheng Buba represents the Five Heroes of Jiangdong, and he can only be one of them, because only one person is enough for this representative figure, and there is no need for a second one!
Chu Xiu said slowly: "Dong Xiangyi, I heard that what you learned when you were sworn brothers in the past was Juyizhuang?
Have you ever thought that in the past, the five people in Juyi Village became sworn sworn brothers, and their reputation in the world was indeed very great, and it was also a good story that has been circulated for decades.
But if you think about it carefully, what were the names of the other four people who used to be together in Juyi Village?
You can't think of it, right? I believe that not only you don't know, but also 99% of the people in the world don't know. They will only remember one person, and that is Nie Renlong, the owner of Juyi Village who "turns the world around"!
No matter how many people gather together, only those who reach the end can become famous. The so-called reputation can only be effective if it is attached to one person.
As long as Cheng Bushi is here, you will never get ahead in your life!"
After saying that, Chu Xiu turned around and left, leaving Dong Xiangyi where he was with a gloomy expression, but his heart was already entangled to the extreme.
He knew that everything Chu Xiu said was just provocation, so he wanted to make the five of them feel dissatisfied and fight among themselves. If he couldn't defeat them head-on, he would secretly use these conspiracies.
But the problem is that flies don't bite seamless eggs. There is a loophole in his heart, so don't blame Chu Xiu for targeting him.
Dong Xiangyi knew all this, and he wanted to look away, but Chu Xiu's last words lingered in his ears from time to time.
'As long as Cheng Bushi is here, you will never get ahead in your life!'
Just like that, he returned to the camp in a daze. Cheng Bushi saw that his face was a little ugly, and he couldn't help but ask: "Second brother, what's wrong with you?"
Dong Xiangyi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's okay, it's just that I feel a little uncomfortable without taking a shower for such a long time."
Cheng Buqi shook his head helplessly and said: "You should change your shortcomings like a young master from a noble family. We who travel in the world are not so pretentious."
Cheng Bushi didn't know Dong Xiangyi's true identity, but he also guessed that Dong Xiangyi came from a noble family. This can be seen from Dong Xiangyi's behavior all the time.
He kept it secret and didn't care. Since everyone had sworn sworn brothers, they were all brothers, regardless of their origins. As long as everyone had chivalry in their hearts, that would be fine.
However, Cheng Bushi did not notice that two people did not sleep well that night, one was Wu Tiandong and the other was Dong Xiangyi.
In the early morning of the next day, Lu Tong got up early and went to the stream to fetch water. Cheng Buqi and others were not worried.
Lu Tong's sword is the fastest among the five of them, and his movement speed is also the fastest among the five of them, so even if he is no match for Chu Xiu, he is not afraid of Chu Xiu's sneak attack.
Carrying the water bag to the stream, Lu Tong filled the water with an expressionless expression.
But at this moment, the water bag in his hand suddenly stopped, and his body, which was originally reserved, was instantly filled with murderous intent.
Because he saw a person in the reflection on the water. A person wearing black clothes, a black iron hat, and a simple black iron mask on his face was standing on the tree looking at him.
Lu Tong was very familiar with this outfit, because he had worn it for more than ten years, and in countless nightmares, there were people wearing black iron hats and masks, with empty eyes.
Look at him and take him back to the place he never wants to go back to in his life.
"Don't get excited. Speaking of which, you and I are in the same boat. We are both assassins who betrayed the Blue Dragon Society. Don't show off your weapons when we meet. How about catching up on old times?"
Chu Xiu put away his hat and mask and looked at Lu Tong with a warm smile.
Each of the Five Heroes of Jiangdong has a different identity. Lu Tong's background is actually the most interesting, because he was also a killer of the Blue Dragon Society.
Moreover, he is not like the Ghost Hand King and others, who followed normal procedures and paid the price before leaving the Qinglong Club. He defected from the Qinglong Club just like Chu Xiu.
However, he was not very strong when he defected, so he was not hunted down on a large scale. Only one person from the helm was hunting him down.
Moreover, no one in the Green Dragon Society could have imagined that a killer with his hands stained with blood would turn into one of the Five Heroes of Jiangdong who was a chivalrous person who helped those in need. Therefore, no one in the Green Dragon Society had discovered Lu Tong over the years.
Lu Tong said expressionlessly: "You want to reveal my identity to the Qinglong Society and use this to threaten me?
You are overthinking it. Over the years, I have made countless preparations to deal with the pursuers of the Blue Dragon Society. It is a great blessing to be able to live safely until now.
You can go if you want, and I will leave on my own initiative when the time comes, so as not to cause any trouble to Big Brother and the others, so don't even think about using this to threaten me!"
Chu Xiu looked at Lu Tong with a half-smile but not a smile. In fact, among the five Jiangdong Five Heroes, Lu Tong could be said to be the one with the smallest flaws.
He was from the Qinglong Society, and killers from the Qinglong Society were not afraid of death. Even if Chu Xiu threatened him with death, it would be useless.
Moreover, Lu Tong was rescued by Cheng Buqi. When he was on the verge of death when he was being chased by the killers of the Qinglong Society, it was Cheng Buqi who saved him without asking about his origins.
But since that time, Lu Tong has followed Cheng Bushi and obeyed his words. It can be said that he is so loyal that he would actually sacrifice his life for him.
A killer who was born in the Qinglong Society didn't know what chivalry meant, and even now Lu Tong didn't understand why Cheng Bushi would help others regardless of his own interests in this world where the jungle prevails.
But these are not important, because Cheng Bushi told him that as a warrior, you must be chivalrous, so he was chivalrous.
As a warrior, he wanted to punish rape and eliminate evil, so he would point the sword that he used to kill people for profit at those murderers and thieves.
Lu Tong doesn't understand chivalry and doesn't want to do chivalry. Everything he does is for Cheng Buqi.
So this is a person who cannot be provoked. Even when he was with Liu Qingqing, he felt that he didn't care, and he was not ashamed of Wu Tiandong, because he only cared about Cheng Buqing's feelings.
It's just that people with a perfect mental state don't exist. Maybe they do exist, but such a person may have already become a god or a saint.
Lu Tong is not a saint, he is not afraid of death, and he doesn't care about anything, but Cheng Bushi is a flaw in his mentality!
