Xiang Qingniu was squatting by the small lake in Luoyao's mansion, smoking the pipe he snatched from Fang Jie, but he didn't light it.
"This mansion is really strange. I have heard about it a long time ago. This area of Yongzhou has the best climate. The trees don't shed their leaves and the flowers don't wither all the year round. Before I came here, I was still thinking that Luo Yao's mansion should be The trees are full of shade and the flowers are blooming like a brocade, but after entering the door, I realize that it is so simple. Moreover, the leaves of the trees are falling, the flowers are withered, and there is not even a single fish in the pond.”
"Say what you want to say."
Fang Jie rolled his eyes at him.
"Since the trees are still deciduous and the flowers are withered in such a warm place in winter, it means that some things are inevitable."
Fang Jie smiled: "I think I should have a deeper understanding than you."
"Why?"
Xiang Qingniu asked.
"Because I'm from here."
Fang Jie said lightly, without any scruples. Because he knew that Xiang Qingniu would never be able to understand the true meaning of the sentence that I am someone who has been here. Only he himself understands that there is a bit of sadness, a bit of gratitude, and a bit of reluctance in these words, and only he himself will feel nervous when he says these words.
"Actually, what I mean is that when trees lose their leaves, when flowers wither, people naturally die, right?"
"nonsense."
"You're not even twenty today, are you?"
"nonsense."
Xiang Qingniu cleared his throat, smiled embarrassingly and said, "I mean, you are only under twenty years old, and you still have to experience many springs, autumns, winters and summers, and that old thing Luo Yao is already very old. If there is an accident, you must live much longer than him. Of course, I don’t mean not to kill him, but there are many ways to kill him, such as... dying of old age?”
"roll."
"good."
Xiang Qingniu stood up, took a step and came back to squat down: "Forget it, I'd better ask what your plan is."
Fang Jie looked at Xiang Qingniu and asked seriously: "Do you really want to hear it?"
"real!"
Fang Jie leaned over and said, "Well, this plan is very thorough. Although Luo Yao's cultivation is against the sky, after the death of Mr. Wan, there is almost no opponent to speak of. But as long as this plan is carried out, we will cooperate tacitly and take it step by step. , we are at least two to three points sure that we can kill Luo Yao."
"Two or three points? It's too little... Forget it, it's better than nothing. Let's talk, how to kill him?"
"My plan is... we have a lot of people, so we can pile him up to death. After Luo Yao comes back, you go up first, and I go up after you die. He is exhausted from fighting until the end, and the last remaining person will have a chance to kill him." What do you think?"
Xiang Qingniu looked at Fang Jie and asked seriously, "Are you sure you're not joking?"
"Do you look like it?"
"Then why should I go first?"
"Because you will definitely run away when you come up later."
"You really know me..."
Xiang Qingniu laughed loudly: "Can you stop joking? I came all the way to die with you. If you don't even say a plan, wouldn't you be a little sorry for my kindness? Well, you just have to show some sincerity as cooperation."
Fang Jie sat on the ground, looking at the dirty and desolate lake in front of him: "To be honest, I have been waiting for this day all these years, even looking for it. It seems that I have been avoiding it for the past twenty years. In fact, I have been catching up with the speed at which this day is coming. And when I catch up, I look back and find that the things I prepared for this day are a bit redundant... "
"What's the meaning?"
Xiang Qingniu asked with a slight frown.
"I've been ignoring one thing."
Fang Jie untied his wine bag and took a sip, and said with some regret: "I have been waiting for this day from the very beginning, from the initial ignorance to the present clarity, I have thought about how to solve this matter countless times, the root cause I’m still afraid of losing something. At first it was life, but later on there are many things that seem to be more valuable than life.”
"don't know."
Xiang Qingniu looked at him, feeling a little weird. The current Fang Jie looks a little sad, and some don't look like Fang Jie. Fang Jie, whom Xiang Qingniu knew, would be pessimistic and disappointed but rarely sad. So he felt a little ominous in his heart, always feeling that something he didn't want to happen would happen.
"what do you want to say in the end?"
he asks.
Fang Jie wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth, smiled and said, "I was not that afraid at first, because my understanding of death was different from most of you. But later, when I had more and more , My understanding of death has become the same as most of you again. I have been resisting because I don’t want to lose, and now it’s not just life. People are greedy, greedy for what they don’t have, and greedy for what they already have.”
"What the hell are you trying to say!"
Xiang Qingniu was in a hurry.
"I know you will come to me, so I am very relieved."
Fang Jie handed the wine bag to Xiang Qingniu: "My original plan was to make myself stronger as soon as possible. The more I have, the stronger I will be, and the more chance I have to win the struggle. But the more It was only later that I realized that I was really an idiot... A person doesn’t have more to have, the more fearless he is, but nothing to be fearless. But now that I have it, I feel reluctant.”
He waved his hand: "Don't interrupt me, listen to me."
He stopped Xiang Qingniu, and then continued: "Money and things are actually the most worthless. If I usually say this, I despise my hypocrisy, but today I say these are really not hypocritical. I have friends and women , when the matter with Luo Yao has to be resolved, I will not run away, so many people will be implicated by me."
"Stop talking!"
Xiang Qingniu's face became extremely ugly. He tried to stop Fang Xie, but Fang Xie grabbed his arm: "I invited you here because I want you to do me a favor."
"No help!"
Xiang Qingniu shook off his hand.
"Fang Jie..."
Fang Jie smiled at him: "We must help."
"I'm not too worried about others. I can transfer those subordinates to leave, but it's difficult for my women... Wanyan Yunshu is better. He is simple-hearted and doesn't know how to cultivate. He is easy to deceive. Mu Xiaoyao and Shen Qing Fan can't be fooled at all, if I fight with Luo Yao, they will die together, I still have this confidence. So I want to ask you to restrain them and take them away."
"As for Sang Sasha, there is no deep relationship between her and me, but for some reason, she will not let me die. This woman is not inferior to you, so she is difficult to deal with, and she is too Clever, it's not easy to cheat. There is only one way to make her go, and this method is a bit special, so you don't need to bother, and you can't do it."
Fang Jie smiled, a little carefree: "I came to you for these things, help me."
…
…
Quiet
Indescribably quiet.
Xiang Qingniu squatted there like a stone statue and looked at Fang Jie. He just watched because he didn't know what to say. Fang Jie was still drinking in sips, he seemed to have never been so greedy.
"Actually, think about it carefully."
Fang Jie smiled at Xiang Qingniu: "There is no special deep friendship between you and me, and we have never been together for a long time. If you treat me as a friend, I will be very happy, because I am the same. It’s up to you. So after thinking about it, I can only entrust you with this matter. Don’t think about living and dying with me. It’s not up to this point. When we returned from the grassland, you and I were still talking about it. Cooperation, that kind of relationship is more pure."
Xiang Qingniu suddenly became angry: "Then what benefits are you giving me now!"
"No."
Fang Jie shook his head: "This time it's a loss-making business."
"I don't accept it!"
Xiang Qingniu roared.
"You came."
Fang Jie looked at him and said seriously: "How could you not answer? You don't need me to explain anything, you should understand that this is the most correct choice for me. When I was at Zhuque Mountain, I witnessed your second senior brother Xiang Qing contending. The scene of chasing after King Dalun Ming, at that time I strengthened my belief. It is indeed a very satisfying thing to die with the one I love, but it seems selfish anyway.”
"Have you considered them?"
Xiang Qingniu asked.
"Think about it."
Fang Jie said: "How could it be possible not to think about it? But thinking about it is a matter of consideration, and a decision is a decision."
Xiang Qingniu looked back at the place where Shen Qingfan and Mu Xiaoyao were standing, and the sadness in his eyes became more and more intense.
"I have already cried just now, and it was my second senior brother who cried."
He gritted his teeth and said.
"Keep it in."
Fang Jie drank the last sip of wine: "In case I die, you are not allowed to cry perfunctorily once. You are a Daoist, a person of great status, and I will be happy if you can shed a few tears for me." You have face. You are the youngest Daoist since the Central Plains Daozong, although carefully calculated that the Daoist has only been passed down to you for two generations... Haha... But no matter what, you are still very awesome."
"Go to hell..."
Xiang Qingniu cursed, his nose a little sore.
"Since you fucking regard me as a friend, you can't say that today."
"What should I say?"
Fang asked.
Xiang Qingniu pointed to Fang Jie's nose and said, "You should ask me, Xiang Qingniu, are you afraid of death! I must say that I am afraid of death, and it is definitely not Xiang Qingniu who says that I am not afraid of death. But you have to follow Lao Tzu said, Xiang Qingniu, if you are afraid of death, you have to do me a favor and kill an old monster together, if I say no, it is definitely not me, Xiang Qingniu!"
"I know."
Fang Jie patted him on the shoulder: "If I didn't know this, I wouldn't have traveled all the way to find you. In fact, the luckiest thing for a person is to have someone who can entrust the most important thing at the most critical time." My friend, I am lucky to know you. You are unfortunate to know me... "
Fang Jie smiled: "That's it, I'll leave them to you. You are a Daoist, don't tell me you can't beat them, it's embarrassing!"
"Fang Jie!"
Xiang Qingniu stopped Fang Jie who turned to leave and asked seriously, "How sure are you?"
Fang Xie was silent for a while, thought carefully and then replied carefully: "If you are all here, I don't have a point, because no matter if Luo Yao hurts any of you, I will not calm down. If you I'm not here, I'm still not sure, but I'll be calm."
Xiang Qingniu was silent, speechless.
Fang Jie took a deep breath, then turned around and walked towards the small courtyard: "I hope Mo Ningzhi can help me ask something, her ability is that she can make a person lose their mind, and after a person loses his mind, he will Leaked a lot. If Amosa can let go, maybe I have a certainty."
"Fang Jie!"
Xiang Qingniu called Fang Jie again: "Do you really want to face it alone?"
Fang Jie turned his head, smiled at him, and said in a calm and gentle but firm tone, "This is all about me...it's always been."
"Fatty."
Fang Jie clenched his fists at Xiang Qingniu: "Do me this favor, take them away tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, even if I die, I won't harass you in your dreams. If you don't do it, your uncle Get ready to sleep badly every night for the rest of your life! If I don’t scare you to pee on the bed every night, I won’t be Fang Juexiao.”
