MTL - Zhui Xu-v6 Chapter 1112 World of Suffering (Part 1)

"'Measurement Ruler' Meng Zhuotao..."

On the pier in the early hours of the morning, torches lit up the surrounding environment, and the stench of fish was mixed with all kinds of discarded debris. Performing the task of guarding, there are also guards who are proficient in water swimming quietly in the dark and cold water.

"King of Fairness" He Wen was about to leave Jiang Ning's scene.

In the past few days, since his attitude gradually became clear, a large number of people would come to visit him every day, bringing various messages and attitudes, gathering in front of He Wen.

Many attitudes have been expected.

There are also some people's choices that are unexpected.

When he was about to board the ship, the message carried by the messenger who rushed over surprised him. Because of the seriousness of the message, he took the young envoy named Ling Xiao onto the ship, and then opened the I received the letter from Ling Xiao.

Under the command of the "King of the Wheel" Xu Zhaonan, Meng Zhuotao, the leader of the "Resentment Society", ordered him to bring a lot of secret information about Xu Zhaonan's camp. While exposing the weaknesses of many middle and high-level officials, he also prepared a lot. The tokens used to threaten or recruit safety, named some people who tended to be close to the book club.

In the past ten days, although the "Resentment Society" has also started a large-scale arrest of members of the reading club according to Xu Zhaonan's instructions, but for these suspects who are in key positions, Meng Zhutao has tried every means to arrest them. Hid it up. .

The final news is that Meng Zhutao is going to assassinate Xu Zhaonan in the name of the reading club. According to the other party and the emissary Ling Xiao, his subordinates already have someone who is good at using heavy artillery. There should be 70% certainty.

He Wen, who was wearing a loose robe and exuded the smell of medicine, had already set sail slowly. In the distant night, at the southern end of the city, a large-scale commotion broke out.

"Meng Zhutao... Your elder brother, has he always acted like this? When he has the opportunity, he will take risks..."

He Wen looked at the scene outside the cabin with deep and serious eyes.

The layout of Jiangning City and the break with the other four people are very risky, but no matter in the open or in the dark, He Wen is not without his own backup and arrangements. But no matter what, Meng Zhutao's reciprocity and defection can be arranged as an important **** - if the other party had contacted him earlier, he would never let this person engage in any assassination.

But of course, there are countless reckless and tyrannical people involved in the mighty uprising of the Fair Party, and many of them are desperadoes who want to fight even if they are sure. If Meng Zhutao had such a temperament, he wouldn't have much to say.

However, after a little hesitation, Ling Xiao on the side shook his head: "Brother Meng... In the past, he mostly acted with prudence and prudence."

"Then he still wants to put himself in?"

Ling Xiao lowered his head and didn't know how to answer. After a while, he whispered: "Brother Meng said, since you waved the flag of the reading club, you were immediately assassinated, and the members of the reading club have to live without you." Revenge. Kill Xu Zhaonan, and those who agree with the book club everywhere will inevitably respond. Great things in the south of the Yangtze River can be achieved."

"But what if he can't kill him?" He Wen sighed, "Among the four, Xu Zhaonan has the most masters, and Lin Zongwu, who is number one in the world, is on his side. He alone may not be able to stop thousands of troops, but if If you want to be a guard, even if you have artillery, you may not be able to kill Xu Zhaonan."

"We have already investigated this matter." Speaking of this matter, Ling Xiao said, "According to the news from the New Tiger Palace, and the last conversation between Brother Meng and Master Lin, we found out that the Chinese army involved in this matter Afterwards, Master Lin had the intention of retreating from the Jiang Ning matter. He seemed to have persuaded Xu Zhaonan to think twice in private, and even asked him to come and have a talk with you to see if there was a compromise. There, I also greeted Xu Zhaonan, and if there is any injustice, Master Lin will leave, so that Xu Zhaonan will not be annoyed or blamed at that time. Xu Zhaonan did not dare to offend them, so he had nothing to say at that time."

"..."

He Wen frowned.

"That's why, Brother Meng said, we should be 70% sure about this matter."

…

The night wind blew slowly across the streets, and the smoke from the gunfire scattered across the streets.

Meng Zhuotao was holding a steel whip, and his tall body was stained with blood. He was breathing long, facing the figure in front of him, calming down his body in its peak state.

The surrounding roadsides were wounded moaning or shouting. These few people were able to follow Xu Zhaonan, and they were usually invincible masters. However, facing Meng Tao's steel whip, their body parts touched. They collapsed immediately, some had their hands and feet smashed, some had their stomachs opened, and some had their heads blown outright, and fell to the ground as corpses.

However, by the side of the surrounding road, a large number of soldiers and green forest people have already reacted, and began to guard around and encircle the center of the road. Several cronies who followed Meng Zhutao were encircled at this time. The embarrassed Xu Zhaonan got up from the ground and began to issue orders to the surrounding area.

In the night sky, different fireworks ignited again. This time the rising flames were different from the fireworks arrows of the "King of the Wheel", and they were more ostentatious and bright, symbolizing the coming of the holy leader of the "Great Light Sect". At the same time Zongwu arrived, many Dharma protector cronies led by Wang Nanda also began to appear around, rounding up the members of the "Resentment Society".

Meng Zhuotao's eyes swept across the great monk in front of him, looked around the road, and also looked far away at the place where the artillery fire was fired. In the darkness, there is no movement over there, and one can imagine what it has become over there.

"Amitabha." Lin Zongwu clasped his hands together and sighed, "After the first round of cannon fire, I will be there. Your brother resisted bravely and died without pain."

Meng Zhutao nodded: "The last time I talked, I benefited a lot. I thought that the master was profound, had thought clearly about the world, and was able to distinguish right from wrong, but I didn't expect... After all, he made such a decision..."

"...I can't imagine that Benefactor Meng finally chose such a path." Lin Zongwu looked at him, "This time I came to Jiangnan, among the heroes from all walks of life, you have the highest martial arts and the best aptitude. Break through the barriers in your heart and make great strides forward. In the future, you may not be able to become a great master, comparable to me and Zhou Tong. It's a pity, can't you turn back?"

On the other side of the road, Xu Zhaonan was slightly stunned, and then yelled: "Meng Zhutao, I treat you the best and value you the most among the eight obsessions. Who have you bewitched to do such a stupid thing... Today there is a holy priest Now, if you look back, I will let the past go for the sake of the holy leader!"

"Ha ha."

Meng Zhuotao laughed shortly and ironically. He looked at Lin Zongwu: "Master, with your wisdom, could it be that you can't see that these members of the Fair Party can't make things happen?"

"Meng Benefactor, the world is chaotic. What can be done and what can't be done can't be summed up in a few words. I know you have been bewitched by the evil words of the book club. Let alone He Wen deleted the beginning and the end of these small books. Southwest Ning Yi, if he is sure that he can accomplish something, why would he spread these things to the whole world? It's just that he can't make up his mind and is looking for a way out."

Lin Zongwu put his palms together and sighed.

"As for the source of whether things can be done, it comes down to people. If you can recruit heroes from all over the world and learn from them with an open mind, you will be born recklessly, so why can't things be done. The Jiangning Conference did not go well, and some problems were difficult to solve. You are depressed and guilty, but Mr. Xu and I made it clear that the difference between him and He Wen is not because he is unwilling to adopt He Wen's views, but because He Wen is in power and does not want to cooperate with the people of the world. This time, Mr. Xu The subordinates will also carry out reforms, strictly investigate corruption, and crack down on favoritism. In this way, Meng Benefactor, if he goes to He Wen's side, how can he stay under Xu Gong's command and continue to contribute?"

Meng Zhuotao looked at him with compassion. Amidst the flames of war, this huge monk had an astonishing aura, like a mountain. For a long time, as long as he was around, almost all the people in the rivers and lakes would not be able to raise the will to fight against him. But Meng Zhuotao shook the steel whip in his hand and laughed: "Do you believe these words?"

Lin Zongwu looked at him, passed for a while, and sighed: "...There is one thing that surprised me."

"..."

"Everyone in the world has their own ways. Although it is regrettable that you were bewitched by the people in the reading club, it is not surprising. It is just that you, Meng Zhutao, will be a man of the temple sooner or later, and you will not be an ordinary hero. If Don't be angry with Mr. Xu's administration, stay here, take it slowly, wait for a better opportunity, and then make an agreement with He Wen, it would be better to turn against him with hatred. Why bother to ruin a major event like today? "

Lin Zongwu's question may also be the question of many people present. After he finished asking these words, Meng Zhuotao's complexion was complicated in the dim gunpowder smoke, and his eyes changed several times. In that expression, there seemed to be nostalgia, remorse, helplessness, and bewilderment, but in the end, he became He gave a frank and heroic smile.

His words were low, as if he was just speaking to Lin Zongwu who was opposite him.

"If there is no such thing, how will others know that people who believe in the principles of the book club can be seen and touched..."

The people around the road couldn't hear these words clearly, and the next moment, the storm roared, Lin Zongwu shook his cassock, and the two figures clashed with each other, making a loud noise on the street.

Meng Zhutao rallied with all his strength and charged towards Xu Zhaonan.

…

On the river at the northern end of the night, He Wen's fleet slowly sailed away from the river bank.

"Even if you are 70% sure, if you lose, you will fall short. Mr. Meng...should have discussed it with me..."

The incident in the south of Jiangning City had already happened, and it was too late to contact her again. While looking forward to Meng Zhutao's success, He Wen's sigh also showed regret. In Jiangning City, he had contacted many people from all walks of life, and had an invitation with Meng Zhutao, but because of some erroneous circumstances, The matter had not been discussed in private, so that he did not know that this capable general under Xu Zhaonan was a comrade who could be won over.

At the same time, his understanding of Meng Zhutao is limited to some information that everyone knows.

"...I heard before that Mr. Meng once... beat his master to death with his own hands. This time in Jiangning, Master Tanji seems to be doing the same... Is there any inside story?"

The opponent's decision was irreversible, He Wen thought about the next response, and casually asked about Meng Zhutao's information. It's just that the resume of killing teachers and heroes by himself is naturally disgraceful. Halfway through the question, he has already noticed that the young man in front of him looks a little upset. After saying this, He Wen is going to skip this question. But seeing the young man named Ling Xiao frowned a few times, gritted his teeth slightly, and just opened his mouth.

"Brother Meng..." he said, "Brother Meng...since he came to Yujia Village, he has been steady and reliable, and his emotions and anger are not visible. After fighting with Fourth Uncle, he seldom confessed his thoughts to anyone. It's only been a few months Once before, he went out to socialize and got drunk. When he came back, he sat with me in the field for a while. road."

"Brother Meng said...he went south with the military disaster more than ten years ago, and he once fought with the Jurchens, but in the world at that time, no matter how good the martial arts were, he was just like a pig or a dog, and was driven away by the Jurchens. After going south, the Wu Dynasty said that it would cheer up, making the Southern Dynasty look like flowers and brocade fire cooking oil, but these are just the prosperity that sucked the blood of the northerners and whitewashed, but corrupt officials are still rampant, the southerners enjoy the prosperity, but I just want to be safe...the Wu Dynasty has no way."

"Fourth uncle...he has a straightforward and strong personality. The south said that people from the south belong to the north and others return to the north. He didn't want to be rejected by others, so he stayed on the north side of the Yangtze River and refused to go south. He has strong martial arts skills, is upright all his life, and never harms others. Brother Meng said, He also wants to live like this, but the world has changed, so he can't live like this... There is no way for Fourth Uncle."

"Later, the Wu Dynasty was indeed defeated. Brother Meng led the people in the village to fight in the troubled times. When he learned of the name of the Fair Party, he felt that he had found his way for the first time. He felt that the world was too hard. The Guangming Sect said that there are thirty-three difficulties, and it entered the command of the "Turning Wheel King"...but soon he understood that the Fair Party has no way."

"He... read the small book of the reading club for a long time, and told me that night that he felt... this time, there might be a way. He felt that Mr. Ning in the southwest really put the issue of fairness in the party. It's clear."

"Brother Meng said that if there is no way in this world, people can only live in the dark, kneel down to live, live by cannibalism, or even kill the master and then live, there is no way...Brother Meng said yes Alive, but we know that all this way, what he has been asking for has always been a way for most people in the village to survive..."

"Mr. He."

The young man named Ling Xiao looked at He Wen. He was Meng Zhuotao's deputy in handling common affairs. It would be useless to kill Meng Zhuotao for a long time. His expression was not weak at this moment, but his eyes were cold. Cold as a knife.

"To this day, we still don't know whether you organized the book club or not, but Brother Meng said that since you are willing to take up this flag, he is willing to fight for you and risk his life. Because the most miserable thing in the world is There is no way, but since there is a way, people can sacrifice everything for it.”

In the young man's eyes, there was a sharpness like a knife, and there was also a faint warning of bloodthirsty. When he said this, he lowered his head slightly and put his hands into his arms. The guards next to King Ping'an in the room immediately leaned towards this side, and He Wen stretched out his hand to signal them not to be nervous. I saw that the other party took out a booklet that he had read for a long time from his arms.

"Brother Meng gave me a book, which was written about Qian Xiwen in Hangzhou. Brother Meng said that seeing hope is a kind of happiness."

He looked at He Wen and warned him.

"...you have to get out of the way."

…

In the south of Jiangning City, the fight near Boxin Gate swept across the entire long street like a storm.

Meng Zhuotao rushed towards Xu Zhaonan, the steel whip in his hand was attacking wave after wave, but standing in front of him was the number one person in the world who was like a Buddha.

The scope of the fight rushed from the street into the courtyard on the side, the wall collapsed, and the blue bricks were smashed by the collapse of the steel whip. The battle between the two rushed to the height of the attic and fought again. Get excited, Lin Zongwu's long howl shakes the night sky, breathtaking.

None of the bystanders around dared to rush forward to join in the fun. This is already a battle belonging to the top warriors in the world. After several attempts to rush towards Xu Zhaonan failed, Meng Zhuotao and Lin Zongwu fought with all their strength to restrain their minds. The destructive power of the steel whip even reached the level that Lin Zongwu dared not touch head-on.

As a group of close to first-class people, a large number of warriors watched the battle around.

The companions who followed Meng Zhutao had all been killed in the encirclement of these people.

Meng Zhutao fell down several times and stood up again. The last punch he suffered was the eighty-sixth move he exchanged with Lin Zongwu on the second floor of the compound next to the road. As the number one in the world gradually recognized after Zhou Tong's death, it has been a long time since no one has fought Lin Zongwu for so long in public fights - the last time a public fight of this level was in Zezhou back then, with Eight Arms The battle of Dragon King Shi Jin.

In the flames lined up beside the road outside the courtyard, everyone gradually felt the cessation of the fighting.

On the second floor of the wooden building that was almost demolished, Meng Zhuotao fell to the ground. He tried to stand up several times, but felt weak, and blood gushed out of his mouth. The back of the body shines.

"A great life." Lin Zongwu sighed, "Why do you want to die?"

Meng Zhuotao struggled and groped on the ground, and after a while, she leaned against the uncollapsed wooden pillar and stood up with difficulty.

"Monk, stand on Xu Zhaonan's side, do you really think it will work?"

"Amitabha." Lin Zongwu clasped his hands together, "There must always be a place for the Daguang Sect. This old man has always had some things in his life, so he has no choice but to hold on to the incomplete, and he has no choice... What's more, I'm afraid it's uncertain who will win and who will lose now. Maybe Mr. Xu can really make a career out of leaving this time.”

Meng Zhuotao smiled sternly, feeling the blood gushing out of his mouth, he reached out and tried to grab Lin Zongwu: "The Huaxia Army has arrived, they will wake you up."

Lin Zongwu's face was sullen, but then he also took a step forward, reaching out to grab Meng Zhutao who seemed to be paralyzed.

"Benefactor Meng, Ning Yi hasn't arrived yet. Since the old monk has decided to make a move, there are not many people in Jiangnan today who can help He Wen turn the tide."

Meng Zhutao also stretched out his hand and grabbed Lin Zongwu, maybe because he realized that he was really angry unnecessarily, Lin Zongwu sighed again afterwards.

"Forget it, Benefactor Meng, if you have practiced martial arts to this level all your life, you can be respected by the old monk... But is there anything you can't let go of? This is a wonderful world..."

Lin Zongwu was sighing, Meng Zhuaotao grabbed his cassock, but laughed as if he had heard some joke.

"What a wonderful world...haha...absurd..." His expression gradually became dazed, and he murmured, "Monk...don't you feel tired in this waiting world?"

What did Lin Zongwu understand? He didn't answer, but just grabbed Meng Zhuaotao and didn't let him fall down. The silence in the darkness lasted for a long time, Meng Zhutao seemed to have died.

After a while, he made his last voice in this world.

"I have understood the Dao. The sins of this life are hard to redeem, but I can finally ignite myself and light the way for others...Monk, in this world..."

Lin Zongwu waited for a while.

…

let go of him...

…

Before dawn, Jiangning City's largest and closest assassination attempt against the Four Kings failed.

*****

In the dark night, this rumbling and manic night decided and changed the fate of some people. Meng Zhutao made his own decision, Lin Zongwu also made his own decision, and many, many people were Make up your own mind. For others, the restlessness at night was more of a puzzling farce.

Just before dawn, when the night was darkest, a figure staggered slowly into the icy water.

Someone from behind suddenly grabbed him and dragged him towards the shore.

"Let go of me... let go of me..." The dying figure struggled weakly.

The boy named Long Aotian ignored him, dragged him back to the shore, and threw him back beside his wife's body.

Xue Jin was covered in the stench from the water, curled up into a ball, trembling slowly.

The boy standing in front also had a stench on his body, UU reading www.uukanshu. He didn't know how to comfort the other party, but after a while, he said: "At least let her go to the ground to rest in peace before she dies?"

Xue Jin shook his head slowly: "In this... world. If you go to the ground... how can you be safe... I don't want to live anymore, I don't want to live for a moment... Benedict..."

The boy opened his mouth: "...do you know why I saved you?"

"..." Xue Jin was stunned.

"Didn't you hit Ning Yi on the head?"

"..." Xue Jin looked at him.

"I came from the southwest and met Mr. Ning. You are not curious, how is he today?"

The river water in autumn brought a penetrating coolness, Xue Jin curled up there, shivering. Afterwards, the first fish-belly white in the sky gradually brightened, he looked at the outline of the condescending young man's face, at first he was dazed, then confused, after a while, he stretched out his finger tremblingly.

"you you…"

Vague memories surged up from the deepest part of my mind.

It was the outline of a vague figure that often followed Ning Yi many years ago, and gradually overlapped with the boy in front of him.

"Who are you…"

The little monk on the side also stared, looking at this side.

In the slight morning light, the boy stood there.

"My name is Long Aotian, I come from the southwest."

…

"...Let me take a look at this Jiang Ning, what the hell...has turned into."

…

Time runs over the human body, as if it wants to tear those who will die from the inside of the human body. The unspeakable pain becomes more real against the backdrop of memories, and it envelopes Xue Jin. He curled up there, opening his mouth, letting pain pour from his mouth, from his eyes, from every part of his body.

On the street that was only a little quiet in the early morning, people suddenly heard heart-piercing roars...
