Deep in the seventeenth floor of the underground palace, Li Muye saw He Bugui, who had been imprisoned here for fifty-seven years. Unexpectedly, this man did not look like an old monster who was over a hundred years old. He had black hair and black beard, a strong body and full muscles. He seemed to be a strong man in his forties or fifties who had been engaged in physical labor for a long time.
When Li Muye and Ji Xuefei came over, He Bugui was practicing boxing in the cell.
He was shirtless, wearing only a pair of torn trousers, and was barefoot. He practiced a short-bridge, hard-horse style of boxing, stomping his feet and punching, turning his elbows and exposing his knees. Every move showed the ferocity of a short-range fight. The joints of his fists were bulging and shiny, and his knees were round and protruding, like two big hammers. This was a unique killing skill. Every time he punched, the sound of air trembling could be heard in the cramped space in the cell. You can imagine how amazing the power of this fist was.
"Why don't you come back?" Li Muye walked to the cell window and asked.
He Bugui looked up when he heard the sound, then lowered his head and continued to practice boxing.
Li Muye said: "If you don't come back, I'm here to take you away. If not, forget it."
He Bugui stopped when he heard the words, looked at Li Muye with squinted eyes, and said: "Take me out of here? Just you?" With a Yuzhou accent, his voice was hoarse and his speech was clumsy. It seemed that he hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time, and he was already a little uncomfortable. Habit.
"So that's why you didn't come back." Li Muye said, "I was entrusted by Xunlongmen Chang Nan to take you out of here. Is there any problem?"
Why don't you return? Jie Jie smiled strangely and said: "Is this old bastard Chang Laogui still alive? Damn it, he has ignored me for so many years, and now he suddenly asks you, a brat, to come and rescue me. There must be something you need from me."
This man had been imprisoned for fifty-seven years. For nearly a month, he was trapped in this small space, eating, drinking, sleeping and eating. It is not difficult to imagine the feeling even if you have not experienced it personally. Not only is this He Bugui not crazy, but he actually looks quite normal. His speech is a bit clumsy, but his thinking is clear and quick. Unexpectedly, such a person is not qualified to be imprisoned in the 18th floor of the underground palace. By extension, how powerful should the characters who are qualified to enter there be
"Stop talking nonsense, just tell me if you are willing to go with me." Li Muye said, "If you are willing, then prepare. We will leave in three days."
"Of course, turtle grandson wouldn't want to!" He Bugui said, "Isn't it fun to be locked up in this hellish place? Why does it take three days? I'm ready now."
"I still have to stay here to do something, so you have to endure it for three more days." Li Muye asked again, "Do you know how many years you have been here?"
He Bugui tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said: "About thirty years, maybe not, but it's almost there anyway."
There was no sun or moon in the underground palace, and no one came to remind him of the time. He had already lost his ability to judge time.
Li Muye said: "What are your plans after leaving here? Is there anyone else outside?"
Why Bu Gui said: "People who are looking for Longmen have no family, no country, no relatives, but there are a few accounts that need to be settled."
"Are you still planning to seek revenge from Xuanmen?"
He Bugui said: "I haven't been imprisoned yet. I wasn't a match for Xuan Hua Gu at the beginning, and I'm certainly no match for it now. Don't worry, I won't cause trouble for you."
Xuan Hua Gu is Xuan Chen’s master, who has been dead for many years.
Li Muye said: "You have been imprisoned for too long. Xuan Hua Gu has been dead for many years. Even if you have any grievances, you can dissipate them. After all, he lost to you in the end."
"Xuan Hua Gu is dead?" He Bugui was shocked and asked: "Who? How did he die? Was it Liu Changfeng who killed him?"
"The cause of his death is rather mysterious, and I don't think it's good." Li Muye said, "As for Liu Changfeng, he is no longer on the martial arts list."
He Bugui asked: "Do you know how many years I have been imprisoned?"
Li Muye said: "There is no time in the mountains, and I don't know how many years have passed in this world. Why not return? You have been locked up here for fifty-seven years!"
"Ah!" He Bugui was shocked and murmured: "Fifty-seven years? I was forty-three when I was imprisoned, so am I already a hundred years old now?" He suddenly shook his head and muttered to himself Said: "No, no, if I am a hundred years old, wouldn't Xiaomei be ninety too? Is it possible that our children are already seventy years old? If they are not longevity people, then I am still alive in this world What’s the point?”
Li Muye watched him talking to himself through the bars. Fifty-seven years had not shaken his will, but a simple truth made him so worried. It seems that this person named Xiaomei is very important to him.
Xunlongmen does not allow greed for worldly feelings, but it is not absolutely prohibited. Once this happens, you will automatically leave the door. If you can repent, you can return to the door. But once you return to the door, you need to cut off contact with the previous relationship. This why not return is obviously still somewhat disconnected from the previous relationship.
He still looks like a man in his prime. Over the years, he has devoted himself entirely to self-improvement. He has no distracting thoughts and has never had the concept of time. This has also made him almost mentally aging. At this moment, he suddenly learned that nearly a decade had passed, and He Bugui's life clock, which had almost stopped, began to swing again.
Li Muye looked at him and suddenly thought of what Bai Wuxia had said to him about the meaning of life and immortality. Immortality is not a myth. As long as you control your desires and lock up your energy and spirit, you can survive for many years. However, once you lose control, your life will quickly wither. But if we just live like He Bugui for fifty-seven years, how different is it from death
Brother Xiaoye doesn't like such a long life.
"That's the truth. Why don't you go back? You can be more open-minded. Maybe they are all still alive." Li Muye said: "Take advantage of these few days to think more about how to live after going out. If you need anything, I can prepare it for you at any time." Tell the guards and they will pass it on to me.”
Three days later, in Xuanchen's clean room, Li Muye and Xuanchen sat cross-legged opposite each other. A cup of tea in front of them exuded a refreshing fragrance, and the tea in the cup was not touched.
"Mr. Xiao Li went to the Kunlun Underground Palace this morning?" Xuan Chen asked: "What do you think of our Xuanmen?"
Li Muye said: "The close relationship between Xuanmen and the government is beyond my expectation. Although I have not entered the first fifteen floors, it is not difficult to realize that there are many top secrets hidden there."
"The relationship is definitely good, but it is not what you think. We do things completely differently from Baiyuntang. They like to control everything and go against the trend. But we never interfere in the struggle for power change in the temple. No matter who comes to power, we will Seeing it as God's will, Xuanmen never does anything against heaven."
Li Muye said: "That's why Xuanmen has been the leader in the world for more than two thousand years, and has occupied the world's orthodoxy since the beginning of the unified dynasty."
"Except during the Wu Zhao period." Xuan Chen said: "Yuan Tiangang was extremely talented and brilliant, and Zhang Zhongjian was a hero, but they were all forced to go overseas by a woman. Especially Zhang Zhongjian, who was originally the number one person under the white clouds, with unparalleled talent. Not inferior to today's Li Zhonghua, although he knew that his talents and wisdom were not as good as those of Li Yaoshi and left Fuyu, he was well versed in the art of cultivating life and forging the spirit. He had more than 100,000 troops stationed, and as soon as Li Yaoshi died, he would send his troops to the Central Plains to fight for the world again. But on the days when he left the land of China, a Wu Zhao was born in Baiyuntang. He forced Yuan Tiangang, who was superior to Zhang Zhongjian in talent, talent and ability, to flee overseas, and even uprooted the banner of Xuanmen orthodoxy. "
Li Muye said: "When I was in North America, I saw the relics left by Yuan Tiangang and Zhang Zhongjian. It is really fascinating to think about the ancestors and sages who traveled across the universe and rafted on the ocean. If I were allowed to choose, I would prefer to live like this. days."
Xuan Chen smiled softly and said: "Hen Si Chen, the world has been turned upside down, and heroes of the same generation have become a joke through the ages. Although you and I are different in generation, we were both born in this era. If she is allowed to do whatever she wants, maybe thousands of years Later, you are the Zhang Zhongjian of the past, and the old man is the Yuan Tiangang of today. A few years ago, a farmer in Zhongzhou dug up a gold and silk book dated to the anniversary of Wu's death in his own field. The fragrance is unparalleled, the phoenixes in the town are surrounded by phoenixes, and hundreds of dragons are dormant... "
Li Muye interrupted: "Wu Zhao's reputation is legendary throughout the ages, and there is nothing wrong with having the empress in the country."
Xuan Chen said: "It is not much of a hindrance to you, but it is a huge crisis for Xuanmen. You have also seen everything in the thirty-third underground palace. You should know that Xuanmen is the most important person in this world." What kind of characters, you might as well imagine, if there is no Xuanmen suppression, let all the demons and monsters in the world jump out, what will this world be like? Those demons who kill babies to make purple river chariots, those who use humans as beasts The beasts who create evil arts, as well as the evil heretics who kill people and create ghosts, all come to this world to cause trouble, how can there be a pure land in this world?"
"If one day she wants to deal with Xuanmen, I will try my best to stop her." Li Muye said: "This is the only thing I can do. As for joining Xuanmen, I think it's better to forget it. I am a very impure person. , it has no connection with such a sacred place.”
Xuan Chen said: "If you don't come now, you can consider it later. You don't have to be so serious about your words. The gate of Xuanmen will always be reserved for you."
Li Muye suddenly asked: "Senior, I would like to ask you, have you said the same thing to other people, such as Li Zhonghua or Huang Yonghao?"
Xuan Chen was startled for a moment, then he smiled and nodded: "Good boy, I can't hide anything from you. I have indeed mentioned similar things to the two people you mentioned."
Li Muye said: "And you seem to be more optimistic about Li Zhonghua, why not Huang Yonghao? As far as I know, this person's talent and talent are definitely higher than Li Zhonghua."
Xuan Chen said: "Huang Yonghao's talent lies in his extreme concentration and understanding. He is extremely passionate and addicted to emotion. He easily goes to extremes when he is willful. In terms of his temperament, he is not suitable for being a commander."
"He is not suitable to be handsome, am I suitable?"
"You are not suitable either." Xuanchen said: "But if there is one person in the Chinese arena who has the best chance of subduing Bai Wuxia, it is you." He also said: "You have a persevering nature and are good at balancing all aspects of relationships. You are not a strategist. Your Majesty, if you are thick-skinned and dark-hearted, people like you are easy to take the wrong direction if you are handsome, but you are not brave enough as a general, but you are the most talented as a king. In the future, the world of Jianghu will become more and more integrated, and there will be a new confrontation between the East and the West. The pattern is gradually taking shape, and I think you are more suitable to be the leader of this Eastern Jianghu world than Bai Wuxia."
Li Muye sighed and said: "Instead of doing this, I might as well try my best to help Ji Xuefei overcome the love crisis. With the support of Xuanmen, she won't be any worse."
Xuan Chen frowned slightly and said: "Since you insist, I can't force myself to do anything, but if one day you figure it out, I will still be willing to keep this door for you at any time."
Highly recommended, it’s really good and worth installing. After all, there are many sources of books, complete books, and fast updates!
Li Muye said: "Don't worry, that day won't happen, but I still want to thank you for giving me a big favor. This visit to the mountain is well worth it. If there is any mission from Xuanmen in the future, Li Muye will definitely say no." !”
Xuanchen waved his hand slightly and said: "As for the matter, there is really something that needs your help. Brother Xu Yangchen went to Zhongzhou to meet with Li Mengbai. This trip may be unlucky. If you still miss the old friendship, then go too. Once again, I don’t expect you to openly oppose Baiyuntang from the standpoint of Xuanmen, but I only hope that Brother Xu Dao can return safely!"
