Friendship is not something you have to ask for.
A truly strong person will not spend too much time trying to please and be attached to others.
Li Muye took action brazenly just to prove one thing: I have the strength to take your life, but I chose to save your life.
His hand hovered three inches in front of White Dragon Bodhisattva's forehead. The Nanyang overlord remained motionless, his eyes met, and the two finally looked at each other and smiled.
"Within ten steps, you can reach wherever you want and attack!" Ye Bailong praised: "What a skill."
"The force is like a rock, and you can see the clouds under the thunder." Li Muye praised: "The bones are strong, and the concentration is even better!"
Ye Bailong said: "You have killing potential but no murderous intention. You just took action to prove that you are capable of fighting."
Li Muye pressed and closed his hand in the air and said, "Senior, are you feeling better?"
Ye Bailong hesitated for a moment, then suddenly realized what had happened, and asked in surprise: "What did you do?"
Li Muye's fingers glowed with a bright white light. They were the nano-robots that had been taken away from the forehead and eyebrows of the White Dragon Bodhisattva with telekinesis in an instant. For others, this thing was a life-threatening judge, but for Brother Xiaoye, it was a weapon that could kill people without being visible. , he suppressed the joy in his heart and said: "It's just diverting trouble to the east. It can temporarily relieve your pain, but if you want to cure it, you have to start from the source. You'd better tell the truth about the root cause of the disease."
"Draining the trouble to the east?" Ye Bailong looked at Brother Xiaoye's shiny fingers and said as if he had some enlightenment: "Can you transfer the poison in my body to yourself?" His words were quite unexpected, and he seemed to be touched.
Li Muye watched carefully, how could he miss this opportunity to get closer, and said: "This is the only way to detoxify you. Even I can't remove all the toxins from your body at once, so I have to divide it into five times. "In fact, Li Muye had already summoned all the nano-robots on his body to his hands just now. But saying this is to prevent him from turning his back and disowning others. There are four more to come, which can at least make him fearful in a short period of time.
Ye Bailong never expected that Li Muye would use this method to detoxify himself. Li Muye said that it would take five times to detoxify him. He had no doubt at all. He even believed that the detoxification process must be very dangerous, and he was deeply moved. Looking at Li Muye with concern, he asked, "How do you feel?"
Li Muye did his best, frowned slightly, returned to his original position and sat down, saying: "This toxin is extraordinary. It invades the body immediately after being exposed to a little bit, and it targets the source of nerves, blocking the meridians, making people miserable. At the same time, It will also stimulate the triple burner true yang meridians, leading to abnormal yang hyperactivity and inability to extricate yourself from the sea of desire. I use the power of mind to extract the poison for you, which can be completed in an instant. If you want to save yourself and resolve the toxin, it will take a long time. If you can Tell me the story of the poisoning, maybe it can be done faster."
"I met a woman three years ago." White Dragon Bodhisattva said happily without any hesitation this time: "She is a member of a secret organization in the southernmost part."
"Nanjing meeting?" Li Muye said it seemingly casually, but in fact he wanted to bring the topic into a broader and deeper field.
"Yes." Ye Bailong nodded: "She gave me orders at that time, hoping to see a big move against the Chinese in the Philippines."
"You didn't agree?" Li Muye carefully recalled the news at that time. It seemed that nothing happened three years ago, and he couldn't help but ask: "Why?"
Ye Bailong said: "They had the same request more than ten years ago. I didn't refuse that time. This time she wanted not just an action, but more likely a war. I couldn't accept it, so she Poisoned, the Nanxuan Society has always behaved this way, and will never show mercy to those who disobey."
"You didn't notice at all when she poisoned you?" Li Muye deliberately pretended to be incredulous and said, "You shouldn't be any worse off three years ago than you are now, right?"
Ye Bailong sighed and said: "I have no choice. They have controlled the three most important people in my life. Even if I am aware of it, I dare not fight."
Li Muye asked: "If you don't dare to resist, why don't you agree to her request?"
Ye Bailong said: "The war she wants will involve four countries, including my home country. This has exceeded my bottom line. I really can't accept it, even if they use the lives of my three relatives. If you threaten me, I would rather die than give in."
"You are a friend worth keeping company with." Li Muye said sternly: "If the Nanshan Society is unreliable, you can consider becoming friends with us."
This is a bit like discussing heroes over wine.
"Become friends with you?" Ye Bailong visibly hesitated, looked at Li Muye and said, "What do you want from me?"
Li Muye went straight to the point: "A peaceful and controllable Nanyang region helps each other, seeks common ground while reserving differences, and develops together."
"This is the official statement. That's not what I want to hear." Ye Bailong said: "I am an unofficial person. It is best to talk about something real."
"This is also the truth." Li Muye said: "I personally have nothing to ask for from you, whether it is wealth or ability."
Ye Bailong's face darkened and he said: "In the final analysis, there is no difference between you and the Nanyang Society and the United States. You are all here for the resources and waterways in the Nanyang region."
"Some people come to snatch them with knives, and some people come to exchange them with gifts." Li Muye said with a smile, "We are the latter."
"Your knives are soft and harder to deal with than those real knives." Ye Bailong said with vigilance: "The invasion of culture and economy is sometimes more powerful than airplanes and cannons."
"The world is getting smaller and smaller, you are already lagging behind, and the things you have worked so hard to protect will only become less and less." Li Muye said unceremoniously: "If you believe that your religious beliefs and culture are viable Yes, it should be spread to a wider world.”
Ye Bailong said: "You are a devil. I would rather negotiate a deal with you than make friends with you."
Li Muye smiled and said, "Li admires the great Bodhisattva's knowledge and sentiments, but his magnanimity and confidence are a bit lacking."
Ye Bailong said: "Nanyang is the Nanyang of Nanyang people. No matter what ethnic group they are, they must first recognize that they are Nanyang people, and then I will make friends with them."
"Times have changed, White Dragon Bodhisattva. It is difficult for you to continue the way you have been doing in the past." Li Muye said: "It is imperative for the United States to send more troops to Asia. If the CIA is determined to destroy the White Dragon Group, you really Do you think you can hold on? Nan Xie would help you in the past, but now?"
"Nanyang is still in the hands of the Nanyang people, and the status of Southern Buddhism will not change." Ye Bailong said: "When people with guns come, we can fight them to the end in the jungles, mountains and swamps, but if we do this with you If we become friends and accept your benefits, it won’t be long before we lose our faith and become like tigers whose teeth and claws were pulled out and turned into cats by you.”
When he said these words, he was no longer confident. Obviously, he also knew that if it weren't for the situation where the two major powers struggled to survive in the cracks, and the two major powers were wary of each other, the Southeast Asian region would have been engulfed in war. But now the United States is getting ready to make some moves, and the big countries in the north have also taken on a posture of determined to win for the sake of the nation's rise. He still wants to continue to squeeze in the cracks to survive, but the possibility is actually slim.
A large part of the reason why he is still so stubborn is that he is worried that he will lose his power and become a puppet at the mercy of others.
"You're worrying too much." Li Muye knew what his biggest concern was and said with all his heart: "Since I'm here to make friends, of course I will respect your beliefs and culture. We will bring prosperity, but we will not Ready to spread any religion.”
"That woman named An Yiru has been very sensational in Hanoi recently." Ye Bailong sneered.
As a regional hegemon, he occupies an absolute dominant position in the Nanyang underground world. How could such a big thing as An Yiru's acceptance of happiness and anger and entering Taiji Taoism be hidden from his eyes and ears. Li Muye was mentally prepared for this and immediately said: "As long as you are willing to open the door of convenience, she is willing to join your door at any time."
"Isn't she from the Taoist sect?" Ye Bailong was a little surprised by Li Muye's decisiveness and asked in surprise: "Is it so easy to change the sect?"
Li Muye said: "Everything is from the same sect, and everything depends on fate. If she joins your sect, she can still continue to spread Taoist medicine culture, and she can even use your channels to develop faster and enrich the way for Nanyang people to relieve their illnesses. ." Then he said: "She worships you as her teacher and does things under the banner of your Bailong Group. Even if she has extraordinary abilities, she cannot overpower the popularity of Theravada Buddhism. The people in Nanyang who benefit from it will definitely say that it is the Great Bodhisattva who has the power. With his eyesight, he accepted a female Bodhisattva as his disciple."
Ye Bailong lowered his head and thought for a long time before saying: "If I open this door of convenience, it will be difficult to close it again in the future."
Li Muye said: "Why must it be closed? Learning a more advanced culture is a required course for every nation to survive. History has long proven that if you fall behind, you will be beaten. No matter how glorious the history of civilization is, we cannot deny this truth. We The glory of the past and the pain experienced in modern times are much deeper than yours. If you hesitate, there will be only an involuntary war waiting for you in the end. We don’t want to see that day, but they are in the Middle East, in Africa, in South America does this kind of thing all the time.”
"Even if I don't agree to any request, once the United States starts a war in Nanyang, you will never stand idly by." Ye Bailong said: "If this is the case, why should I risk opening this door?"
"Because I can save your life and help you get rid of the control of the Nanshan Society." Li Muye said: "Compared with the Westerners who come to talk to you about civilization with swords and guns, we know how to respect and pay more."
"But you also want more." Ye Bailong said with a look of struggle on his face: "In the 1980s, the Soviets provoked war here, and the Central Asian Peninsula was full of war, which is still affecting this region today. In such a pattern, even the Buddha's light cannot extinguish those flames of hope." He paused at this point, obviously moved.
"White Dragon Bodhisattva, let me tell you something that you may not accept. Although the warlords in the Nanyang region respect you, they may not respect the Buddha in your heart. They are not afraid of you, not for your Dharma principles, but for the huge resources and power in your hands. The decapitation ability." Li Muye said: "The source of the war comes from Jade Hope. As long as there is sufficient support from external forces, the land of Nanyang will never lack heroes who rise up. Your power of faith does not control their Jade Hope. see."
"Mr. Li, you are really a treacherous person who speaks eloquently." Ye Bailong said: "The Dharma is illegal, and the law is illegal; the law is not the law, and the non-Law is the law; what the Buddha said is not what the Buddha said, and it is not the Buddha. Talk about it for the sake of the Buddha." Ye Bailong said: "It is difficult to distinguish the authenticity of the Buddha in this world. Just follow the destiny and you win..." (End of this chapter)
