【Lotus Cake】Brother, please respect yourself

After the Eastern Turkic nails in the Demon Gate were pulled out, Nezha was really busy for a while. There were more than 60 subordinates left by Fu Que alone. If it wasn't for the plan to enter the end, these people would have been mobilized by Fu Que , Nezha may not be able to clean them up in one go.

It took Li Li five days to run back to the Demon Gate from the Zhaixing Building, not because of his short legs, but because Nezha slipped too fast, so reckless, even a bit shameless, which made the guy who was left behind Everyone was furious, so when he saw Nezha again, the spy of East Turkic had been washed clean by his master alone.

"what happened?"

Li Li, who was carrying a bag and a food box in his hand, was standing outside Li Nezha's yard. When his master turned to him and asked him, although Li Li was prepared, he was still caught by Nezha's hostile appearance. Shivering with fright, even when he was threatened by the other party into the room, his aura was not so scary.

"...Master, are you unhappy?"

"Is it so obvious?" He raised his hand and touched his pale cheeks. Nezha has been too busy these days. He has no time to sleep, eat or heal his injuries, and he looks like a stranger. , the guy next to him didn't dare to step forward to dissuade him, so after a few days, not only his complexion was pale, but even his clothes were a little empty.

"It's too obvious, Master, I feel like you will scare the flowers and plants in this yard to death."

"How can there be flowers and plants in this yard?!" After taking the handkerchief from Li Li, Nezha smiled while wiping his face. Now the smell of blood in the yard can't be covered by the incense. It's really hard for Li Li You can still talk nonsense with your eyes open.

"So Master, you can still joke around."

Lifting the food box in his hand, Li Li opened the lid and let the other party smell it, in case his master was not beaten to death by the masters of the Central Plains martial arts, but in the end he starved to death. up.

"All the secret letters on Fuqu's side were burned. I found someone who can speak Turkic. You and he forged something. You should know what to write."

"Well, I know." Although Li Li is still very young in martial arts, with his ventriloquist skills and the scheming of living under Zuoqiu Gongyang for several years, it is reasonable to make a few fake letters. Still not difficult.

"Yang Jian's imperial decree will be sent to Shuofang County in a few days, and the secret letter will be used to silence them."

Looking at Nezha's bloodless thin lips through his eyes, Li Li lowered his head and hummed softly.

Put yourself in the situation and think about it, if you were in such a situation, could you do better than Li Nezha on the basis of being helpless and having no back-up?The fact is that no matter how the plan goes, he can't escape the two roads of death and escape.

It took Li Li two months from the beginning of fighting for his life to the later conviction.

When the imperial decree from Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty was sent to Shuofang County, Nezha took the forged secret letter to the envoy who met Yang Jian, because Li Li was responsible for making the secret letter, and he had been restless ever since Nezha entered the house. He was afraid that he would not be realistic enough, and that Nezha would deceive the emperor in the end, but until Nezha came out, he didn't say a word about the secret letter.

"Master, is the letter okay?"

"Actually, it's fine if you hand over a blank sheet of paper to me. What Yang Jian wants is a result. What he needs are the corpses lying in the Demon Sect and the living spies. A letter, a process, even if I don't prepare it, he The people under him will also find good excuses for their masters, and the smooth paving of a road cannot be completed by one person and one object."

After saying this, Nezha stood outside and looked up at the sky. The sun was high and the sky was clear, but it was a scene of prosperity and tranquility.

Recalling that day when he woke up in the house - the hidden weapon arrow that was used, the secret room exit that was opened.He didn't trust Fu Que, so he wouldn't tell her what, how could someone else know?

But if that person is Ao Bing, only Ao Bing can trust him unreservedly.

Because his senior brother is like this, he obviously has benevolence, righteousness and morality in his mind, etiquette and shame are indispensable when he opens his mouth and shuts his mouth, but when he does things, he is very protective of the calf. , even Taiyi would sometimes be stopped by Ao Bing when he beat his apprentice. Unfortunately, the little Nezha would die at that time, and he would not understand his senior brother's mind at all. I made up my mind to tell everything, but the story finally ended under a cliff.

Nezha always thought that no one would come to rescue him.

It was a result and a relief for him to fight with his life.

But now the facts are going in a completely opposite direction.

Why did his obsession disappear completely when he woke up?

Why did Ao Bing's weapons stay in his cabinet?

Why did Fu Que want to silence the maid in the Demon Gate, so that Li Li was left behind?

Because of Ao Bing, because of Ao Bing, because of Ao Bing, all because his brother came down the mountain to find him.

"That's right, go back and have a look."

There is no Kunshan, no Jiangnan, no Ao Bing in the field of vision. Nezha raised the corners of his lips and smiled helplessly. This road was chosen by himself, so he had to go no matter whether it was knocked to the head, bloody or covered in scars. go down.

"Where are you going, Master?"

Carrying Nezha's long, pointed gun, Li Li chased after him in three steps at a time. At this time, the weather was getting warmer and the spring was cold in March. Nezha was walking on the road, and said in a piercing voice:

"I want to go back to the Central Plains."

Facing Jiang Ziya, Nezha didn't give much details about what he said. After all, most of the time in the process of calculating Fuqu was a blind man trying to figure out an elephant, and the only bargaining chip Nezha had was his own life.

It turns out that Fu Que needs Nezha to live because this person can stir up chaos in the Demon Gate and the Central Plains.

Later, Fu Que needed Nezha to die because this person completely messed up the situation. Only after he died, could Nezha's plan continue.

This difference between the front and the back gave Nezha an opportunity to take advantage of, but it also made the masters of the Central Plains martial arts be played around by Nezha.

"Master will value you, it's true." Jiang Ziya stroked his beard and sighed softly after hearing how Nezha stirred up the situation.

Compared with Ao Bing, Nezha has a very distinctive feature, that is, he will not admit mistakes.

This kind of personality is stubborn at best, and immodest at worst, but Ao Bing is not at all, as long as you tell him his own shortcomings, he will give priority to self-reflection, which may be very beneficial in dealing with others, but It is not suitable to be a headmaster.Because he is too soft, any softness may warm others, but it can't change the status quo. Now that the peaceful and prosperous age has not come, every step of Ao Bing's retreat will make others gain an inch.

"Whether the master likes me or not, I can't turn back now. I know that the master is concerned about the safety of me and my brother, but Master Jiang, I am walking on the sea in a violent storm. If I don't go in, I will die at the bottom of the sea. Under such circumstances , do you still think I can be humble and introspective?"

Facing Nezha's piercing black eyes, Jiang Ziya lowered his head and shook his head, sneering, no wonder the master wrote that sentence in the letter - stubborn stones will never be melted, and need to be worked out slowly.

"You wiped out the Turkic spy force, and the five major factions also have a lot of grudges against you. What are you going to do next?"

"Practice martial arts."

The fingers resting on his lap hooked Gou Aobing's palm, and Nezha added another sentence after finishing this sentence.

"Restore the inner strength to the senior brother."

"Have you convinced Shen Gongbao?"

"Eunuch Shen is very awkward. He competes with my senior brother. Although he has a cold face and a stern voice, he still has a little bit of nostalgia for the past, so as long as the final result remains the same, it will not change." He actually has no reason to reject me after killing my senior brother."

Thinking that Ao Bing had made longevity noodles for him for ten years without saying a word, Nezha felt that Shen Gongbao's awkwardness was actually not so difficult to accept.

"Does Master have any advice?"

Seeing that Nezha and Jiang Ziya were about to chat about Shen Gongbao's issue, Ao Bing, who had been sitting beside him without saying a word, suddenly raised his head and interrupted the two of them. After Nezha looked over strangely, Ao Bing settled down Holding back the thought of looking back, after Jiang Ziya said no, he got up and bowed, but he was about to say goodbye and leave.

"what happened?"

Standing up and following behind Ao Bing, Nezha tilted his head like a curious urchin, and did not forget to touch him with his shoulder when he blinked.

Jiang Ziya, who was left in place by the two, took out the short stick on his waist and slammed it on the table, muttering something while sighing. When the light in front of him was blocked by shadows, the former Kunshan who was entrusted with important tasks The head teacher raised his head and greeted the visitor.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"Why aren't you dead yet?"

Looking down at Jiang Ziya's ten-year vicissitudes, Shen Gongbao looked away, but he didn't know how to continue the next topic.

"Didn't you tell him?"

"Tell him what?"

Bending his eyes and smiling slightly, Jiang Ziya rubbed the short stick in his hand, thinking of the past with a smile in his heart.Everyone has those times when they were young and ignorant and wanted to change their fate against the sky. He had it, and Shen Gongbao had it too. It's a pity that they finally encountered the most terrifying existence in this world, that is power.

"Tell him that you went back to Kunlun Mountain because of me, and that you wanted the Heavenly Lingzhu to save me. I think he is a good boy. If you explain clearly to him what happened back then, he may not continue to misunderstand you."

"No need to explain." Shen Gongbao shook his back and sat down slowly. He never had anything to say to Jiang Ziya. They took different paths and boarded different boats. Maybe one day they will become real friends. The enemy, at that time he will definitely not show mercy.

"It's always good to be clear."

"He doesn't hate me."

Shen Gongbao never felt that he was ashamed of anyone. Back then, he saw his brothers and sisters were given away by their parents and became the meat of others. He came out step by step.

And Ao Bing, the child he rescued from the dry well, is still somewhat different after all.

"But he's going to hate me someday."

Raising his head and looking at Jiang Ziya calmly, Shen Gongbao thought, he has already seen that path that belongs to him, so there is no need to explain, hating or not hating is a matter of one thought, he has never helped Ao Bing think about anything, In the future, he will also take away important things from the other party, and those unavoidable things will not be his excuses. Comparatively speaking, Shen Gongbao really wants to be hated by the other party. In fact, it will be much easier.

"It's really hard to be your apprentice." Not only do you have to be smart and considerate, but you also have to be guessing. If other elders in Kunshan picked up Ao Bing, such an obedient little apprentice, don't be fooled by those old guys God bless us.

"Who says it's not." Hearing this, Shen Gongbao showed a rare smile, which seemed somewhat real.

Telling a story unexpectedly made Ao Bing angry for no reason, and the other party's previous promise to tell Nezha's secret was also in vain.

After chasing after Ao Bing for a long time, he was dodged several times when he reached out to grab him, Nezha was surprised, did the brother have a bad stomach today?

"Did I say something wrong?"

Seeing that Ao Bing was about to retreat into the house to grow mushrooms again, Nezha stretched out a leg and blocked the door. When he found that he really couldn't close the door without hurting Nezha, Ao Bing threw his hand in despair, and let Li Mozun, who was thicker than a city wall, squeezed in through the door.

"No."

"Then why are you mad at me?"

"You said that I don't cherish myself, what about you? Master Hui Nian slapped you twice, Daoist Duobao scratched you several times, and then you arrested more than 60 spies, and the floor tiles of the Demon Gate Courtyard were soaked in blood , You haven’t healed your internal injuries for such a long time from the Demon Gate to the Central Plains, yet you dare to fight with Qiu and his party! That’s one of the top ten masters in Jianghu!”

Listening to Nezha's indifferent description, Ao Bing's heart was like soaked in kerosene. He wanted to speak several times, but he swallowed the words again. That was the past time, Nezha He is not dead, he is still alive, and he is still in his hand and in front of his eyes.

"But if I don't come to the Central Plains! I don't come to you! You're going to marry that bastard Ru Chennan! Don't you know what he's going to do to you? You think you can die with him before being humiliated. Did you ever think about me when planning? You clearly remember everything that happened at the Demon Sect, but you chose to hide it when you saw me. If I remembered after you died, what should I do then? !"

Nezha never thought that one day he would explode because of Ao Bing's words. In the months after he learned everything from Fu Que, his fear was like a ghost haunting him every day and night, and he couldn't get rid of it and couldn't turn back. , doesn't he want to live a good life?Doesn't he want to have a peaceful and ordinary life?

"You said," stretched out his hand to Nezha's clenched fist, and Ao Bing pulled away the fingers pinched into his palm, and then kissed the scar on his palm, "If I die, you won't live alone, I will return this sentence to you, I will not go back to Kunshan when Ao’s family affairs are over, I will accompany you at the foot of the mountain, and I will go wherever you go.”

When he was in the Demon Gate, Nezha opened his heart to Ao Bing for the first time because of his pain, the resentment after he suffered so much, when he fell off the cliff and his bones were broken, no one came to rescue him. When Buddhism chased and fled into the Mobei Desert, no one came to rescue him, and when he was oppressed by Shi Wuji until he was about to collapse, no one came to rescue him.

It was an abyss, and he walked down alone, alone, sinking into the bottom of the sea coldly and quietly.

"Even if you want to go back, it depends on whether I agree or not."

Kneeling down and half kneeling in front of Ao Bing, Nezha rubbed the cloth on his brother's legs, then closed his eyes and buried his face in it. When he lost his memory, he was angry and lonely like a dying wolf running around in the wasteland , After he regained his memory, he was defeated by the fear of losing Ao Bing at that moment, and he fell into the cycle of nightmares, as if he would never be able to go to the end.

"Sorry, sorry, Nezha."

The cloth on the leg was damp and hot. Ao Bing touched the back of Nezha's head, and lifted the other's black hair with his fingertips. When his sight touched a silver-white strand, the nerves in his heart shook, and a soreness rushed into his nasal cavity. It made his eyes red.

Nezha is only 25 years old now. The children of this age family are still on the road of marrying wives and having children, making achievements, and obtaining fame, but Li Nezha has already walked through the gates of ghosts again and again. In the end, being feared by the world and hated by everyone, what else can he gain besides the scars all over his body and that one white hair?

"I do not like this."

Although Nezha had already guessed that Ao Bing would be sad, but after he vented a wave, he found that his senior brother had bitten his lip. It was so pitiful and cute.

"Which one do you not like?"

Staring at the red eyes of a monkey, Nezha's little bit of unwillingness and resentment instantly disappeared in Ao Bing's eyes. He was afraid of his senior brother's tears. If the other party cried again, he might have to kneel down to give Ao Bing kowtowed.

"The calculations seem to be endless."

"We don't count after that."

"Why do you always come and say it?"

Loosening his teeth and freeing his bitten lips, Ao Bing pinched Nezha's face and was furious. The kid's hippie smile was a killer. It's hard to keep a straight face.

"I'm not here to make you happy."

"Grumpy."

"It's sweet talk."

Sticking out his tongue to show that his mouth was not oiled. After explaining to Ao Bing, Nezha felt that his whole life was relaxed. In fact, the other party was not so pedantic and difficult to understand, but sometimes he didn’t touch some things, so he instinctively Now he likes Ao Bing, and Ao Bing also likes him, no matter how difficult it is, he will not face it alone.

"Who said it's not sweet at all."

Pinching Nezha's shaved face, Ao Bing lowered his head and kissed Li Mozun's thin lips, and Li Nezha was caught off guard by the flashing touch.

"You taste it too fast! Come here! Come here and taste it carefully! It must be sweet!"

Jumping up and grabbing Ao Bing's shoulders, Nezha leaned towards the opponent's face with disheveled hair, Ao Bing raised his head and dodged from left to right, but Nezha, who came forward vigorously, didn't care about these things, he pressed Ao Bing on the table and bowed his head to kiss Had a good time.

Ao Bing, who had a bit of a broken mouth, didn't even dare to lift his head when facing Shen Gongbao at dinner, and ate silently with his cheeks puffed out. Hu Cai put down his chopsticks, and finally decided to set off early, otherwise he might starve to death before he cleaned up Nezha.

Early the next morning, Shen Gongbao drove Ao Bing down the mountain with no luggage, and Nezha took Li Li and Yang Jian to chase after him. After leaving the city, he found that Shen Gongbao's men were always there, but he didn't bring them in.

"Where are we going now?"

Seeing Shen Gongbao approaching with his horse, Nezha asked aloud, the other party's eyes were full of swords and swords, but unfortunately Nezha's face was thicker than the city wall, and he turned a blind eye to this innocuous stare.

"Aren't you going to take Ao Bing to practice? Change to a safe place."

"Eunuch Shen, you are suddenly so kind, I can't accept it."

"It's Shen Gongbao!"

After correcting Nezha three times, Shen Gongbao gave up. The best way for him to deal with Nezha was to separate him from Ao Bing. Anyway, there were so many people now, and Ao Bing would not disobey Shen Gongbao's order in public, so a team of 19 People, two in front and three behind, blocking a group in the middle.

Nezha, who fell to the end on his horse, rubbed his chin and looked thoughtful. It seemed that he was not thinking of anything good.

"Hey, how are you going to restore the inner strength of the elder brother?"

A few days ago, Yang Jian formally joined Nezha's team after sending Daoist Yuding away. In fact, he didn't have a clear purpose for going down the mountain to practice. After all, he learned martial arts at the beginning to protect his mother.

"Let's form a Taoist couple, and then we can justifiably double cultivate."

The left eyelid jumped up, and Yang Jian raised his hand to hold his eyebrows. The disbelief in his eyes made Nezha want to laugh.

"Eldest brother, do you know that you are so shameless?"

"I've done all the shameless things."

Ao Bing, who was riding a horse in front of the team, had a chill down his spine and couldn't help but sneezed.

"I feel like I've met you for the first time."

Withdrawing the sight that fell on Nezha's face, Yang Jian looked at the back of Ao Bing riding a horse and basked in his heart. He only hoped that after this incident, everything would be back on track.

——To be continued——

Nezha: I want to double cultivate (loudly)!

Ao Bing: No, you don’t want to (covers mouth and drags away).
