On the Importance of Chinese Characters

It only took a few breaths from the woman crying to being beaten by the staff, and it was not until the woman fell to the ground crying bitterly that everyone at the door came back to their senses.

The young male cultivator who was hugging and coaxing the child tenderly because of the child's hunger and crying just now saw this scene, his eyes lit up instantly, and he jumped out of the crowd first, pointed at the woman and shouted sharply: "You are making trouble again! You really should Hit! I saw you yesterday when I was queuing up! The person in charge of your house obviously died because he went out to earn source crystals, so why blame the shopkeeper!"

At the beginning of this male cultivator, many people who thought the woman was pitiful no longer cared about anything, and began to criticize the woman in a hurry, afraid that they would say less than others, and their voices were quieter.

For a while, the poor woman was still trampled on the ground by the man, but she was targeted by everyone. She lay on the ground sadly, shaking her head feebly in denial, her eyes filled with tears.

Fang Qiling frowned and walked over, put his hands on the guy, his mouth curled up, but there was no smile in his eyes: "I said, it's too much."

Xiao Cheng's huge head turned around, and he grinned impatiently: "I advise the guests not to meddle in their own business."

A cold light flashed in Fang Qiling's eyes, and the source force in his palm spat out slightly.

The guy felt a strong force coming from his body, and he couldn't help but staggered back a few steps before he stood still. He was furious and shouted: "Don't you want to enter the store?!"

Fang Qiling ignored him, bent down and pulled the woman up.The woman thanked her politely, and stood up with difficulty while clutching her chest and abdomen.

A white light suddenly came from the front and landed on her body.The wound on the woman's body healed visibly, and the broken ribs in the waist and abdomen also slowly returned to their place and healed.

The pain faded from her body, and the woman was in a trance for a moment, and immediately realized that someone had helped her.Fang Qiling turned his head to look, and saw Zhuang Yunzhou nodding towards him.

The woman quickly tidied up her messy clothes before bowing to Zhuang Yunzhou from a distance, and bowed deeply to Fang Qiling: "Thank you two cultivators."

Her gesture of saluting looked quite gentle, and she really didn't look like a troublemaker for no reason.

"You...what's the matter?" Fang Qiling asked, "Why do you say that Fengyuan Pavilion is a black shop?"

Before the woman could speak, she heard the shopkeeper's voice, cold and rough: "Why? Naturally, it's not extortion but slander instead."

When the woman saw him, she immediately became excited again, and retorted loudly: "You spitting blood! It is clear that there is a problem with your family's ancestral origin, which ruined my son's future! If my husband wants to make money for my son to resonate with the ancestors, You won't lose your life! Fengyuan Pavilion is a black shop that harms people!"

Lie Daqiang sneered: "Your son's talent is not good, and Qiyuan got a seven-generation innate source technique. How can we blame us? Did we force you to continue to perform ancestral resonance? Didn't we? You are poor and have no source Is it our shop’s fault that Jing gave his son ancestral resonance? No, right? Did my shop let your husband go out to hunt strange beasts? Not to mention that?”

"I opened a shop in Fengyuan Pavilion, and I have always been innocent. You can't accept the death of your husband, and you make troubles again and again. I understand that it is not easy for you to be a woman, but I don't want you to make progress and ruin the reputation of my shop. Today I am here The buddy beat you, it is too much to bear. Take these source crystals to treat your wounds, don't do it again next time!"

A bag fell under the woman's feet, and a few pieces of source crystals inside fell out.

When the source crystal is illuminated by the sun, it reflects a clean and bright light.But these source crystals seemed to be slapped on the face. The woman had a humiliated expression on her face, and she wanted to say something. The cynicism and scolding to the woman suppressed her voice.

Color flashed in Lie Daqiang's eyes, he opened his mouth, his sharp teeth gleamed coldly, and said coldly to the woman: "Next time I come again, I won't be so talkative. You know, even the lord will call I'm Uncle Shi. And Mengyang College..."

Mengyang College didn't finish talking, but as soon as these four words were uttered, the woman who was still holding on to her face suddenly showed a panic expression on her face, and she involuntarily took two steps back, clasping her hands He squeezed tightly, pinching the corner of his clothes uneasily, and finally closed his mouth.

Fang Qiling frowned, watching the woman's face flash with struggle.

She looked at Fengyuan Building, and then at the long queue at the door. All the customers lining up in front of the shop were praising Lie Daqiang and insulting her. She finally pursed her lips, and a look of despair flashed in her eyes. Looking down, he lowered his head slowly.

The short figure didn't defend herself anymore, and stood silently amidst many unbearable insults for a long time, so long that people couldn't understand why she didn't leave, and the onlookers couldn't bear to look at her like that.

Zhuang Yunzhou looked at the poor woman, and at the group of people behind him who were scolding like a carnival with righteousness and enthusiasm, and frowned. He felt that this scene was very absurd. No matter what the situation was, this scene was really disgusting.

Just when he couldn't see that he was about to get out of the crowd, he saw the woman quickly raised her head, saluted Fang Qiling again, then took a deep breath, turned around with her head held high, and walked forward step by step.

However, just after taking two steps, her pace slowly stopped again, her back was facing Fengyuan Pavilion and she didn't know what to think.Then her back bent down little by little, as if something was being pulled out of her body along with her bent back——

The woman lowered her head slowly.

Then, she turned around abruptly, walked back quickly, walked to a bag of source crystals, quickly squatted down and pulled the scattered source crystals together randomly, and ran away with her arms.

When the people around saw this scene, they booed even more, and they became more certain that this was a tricky woman who came to blackmail her!The people who were a little shaken by her instantly put their hearts in their stomachs, and they trusted Fengyuan Pavilion's reputation more and more.

Although the clerk was a little irritable, but the situation is excusable, the shopkeeper is so kind, knowing that he is here to blackmail, and for the sake of the other party's pity, he gave it to the other party's source crystal, that bag is not old or young!

The behavior of the little woman was beyond the expectation of many people. Even the silence who was sure that the woman was not lying was confused by her behavior, and she turned her head to look at her brother in a dazed expression. : "Are you really here to blackmail?"

Frowning calmly, he said slowly: "Maybe."

Su Yu was also dumbfounded, and said incredulously: "I was almost deceived."

The woman was really pitiful, although she cried and wailed, she did not do anything violent, instead she spoke and behaved quite politely.The sign standing at the entrance of Fengyuan Pavilion seems to be bullying customers. Su Yu's preconceived idea is that it must be the fault of Fengyuan Pavilion.

Now when this woman took the source crystal, she overturned all his previous good impressions. The innocent young man who saw this kind of reversal for the first time couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, he felt quite fooled.

Su Wu and Fengzhao looked at each other when they heard the eldest son muttering annoyedly, Fengzhao wanted to say something, but was stopped by Su Wu's wink - this is the eldest son's experience, it's better to let him experience it by himself.

So Fengzhao closed his mouth.

Among the group of people, only Zhuang Yunzhou stood there thinking, without speaking.

Xu Fengyuan Building also felt unlucky when this incident happened. After Li Daqiang entered, soon another waiter came out to inform those who were waiting outside that Zuyuan's reception is here today. If anyone wants to enter Those who buy things in the store can still go in, and the rest will be invited early tomorrow.

Hearing the store's decision, many people who had lined up for a long time pulled the woman out and scolded the woman before they dispersed angrily.

??

Because most of the shopkeepers and employees of Fengyuan Building are giant hyenas, in order to take care of both the owner and the guests, all the products are displayed on the rockery group made of rocks.According to the height of the rockery, it is also divided into several floors, and there are caves of different sizes in the mountains as rooms.

After entering the store, steps are built on the right side of the rockery group and in the middle of each floor to facilitate the up and down of the spirit clan.Giant hyenas are born with amazing jumping ability, and they always jump directly from the rockery.

Lie Daqiang, who solved the little woman's troubles, restrained his upright spirit as soon as he entered the shop, his eyes were filled with cold anger, and the guy who was looking for him on the other side hadn't approached him when his eyes touched his eyes, and he stopped instantly. He stepped closer, tightened his tail, and immediately stepped aside.

Lie Daqiang withdrew his gaze, used his hind legs to jump up to the highest rockery, and walked into a hidden room at the top.

Inside, there was a giant hyena who looked very similar to him lying on his back. Two petite female giant hyenas with thick and oily hair were nestled on him, one on the left and the other on the right. The room spreads.

Lie Daqiang glanced at the two women and said coldly, "Get out!"

Not daring to delay, the two immediately got up and retreated.

"What's the matter..." The young giant hyena grunted, the lost fragrance caused him to open his drowsy eyes. A thick tail.

"Aw~~!" Before he could react, a huge force came down one after another, and the young man who hit him was stunned, and then he realized something, and hurriedly begged for mercy, "Father, what did I do again? You Why did you hit me!"

Lie Daqiang kept on beating, cursing: "I hit you! You broke me! Do you know how much trouble you caused me! A born rare child with thunder attribute, in the thunder department In front of Zu Yuan, Qi Yuan got a seven-generation innate origin technique, are you a pig brain?!! Pig brains?! Ah!"

"How many times have I told you! How many times! To activate the formation, divide people! Divide people! There must be a few people who can get high-level innate source arts in a year! If your physique is particularly suitable, don't move, don't go!" Move! You took my words as a deaf ear, didn't you? ! ! "

"Ooooh! Don't hit me, don't hit me, Dad! Oh~~!! It hurts! Dad, you can't blame me, who made that kid laugh at me first, saying I'm ugly?! I look so much like Dad ...Aw~~! Isn’t it just talking about my dad?! I’ll bear it if I talk about me, how can I bear it if I talk about my dad!”

"Father, stop hitting! I won't dare next time!"

Lie Daqiang gave his son a good beating, and the anger in his heart finally came out. He retracted his tail, tidied up the messy coat with his hind legs, walked into the nest made of silk and sat down, softening his tone:

"Okay, I've already dealt with that bitch of the Spirit Race. Next time you act more wisely. Although our family has some relatives with the lord, we are far away after all. If it weren't for this shop, we could still provide some offerings to the lord." , you think our father and I can live so comfortably. Don't dig my own grave for me!"

"Understood, Dad." The place where Li Chengcai was beaten by his own father was hot and painful. Although he didn't think so much about his father's attention to a powerless and powerless stupid woman of the Spirit Race, he was not stupid enough to talk to his own father at this time. Talk back.

Li Daqiang looked at his son's rare and well-behaved appearance, and was finally somewhat satisfied, but he didn't see the impatience flashing in his downcast eyes at all.

??

But Zhuang Yunzhou and his party, who had returned to the inn early because of this incident, were still immersed in the incident just now and couldn't let go.

Especially the eldest son has Su Yu, who almost ordered Su Wu to take down the treasurer of Fengyuan Pavilion just now, and the woman seemed to have integrity, but she actually took the bag of source crystals and left.

"In the past, my father always said that I was too naive, and I was always unconvinced, but now it really is. Who would have thought that such a little woman was really blackmailing?"

Silent but said: "How can you blame the eldest son, my brother and I have been away for a long time. I have seen a lot of people of all kinds. This woman came to make trouble and never mentioned money and compensation. It was more like looking for a justice. Come on. That guy is so over the top, I also thought at first that the store was bullying customers."

Su Yu found someone who resonated with him, and the more they talked, the more they felt blind. Su Yu said: "Brother's good intentions were wasted!"

Fang Qiling was just listening, but when it was mentioned suddenly, seeing the two people seeming unworthy of themselves, he smiled a little: "I don't think it might be in vain."

The two of them were stunned for a moment, and it seemed that when they walked around the room, they found that no one else spoke about this matter except the two of them. Su Yu hesitated and said, "Brother, do you think that woman is not lying?"

Fang Qiling shook his head: "I just think it's too early to tell right from wrong."

Su Yu was taken aback and looked around. Su Wu and Fengzhao didn't even seem surprised by their calmness. He paused and said, "If she's not doing it for money, but just for the truth, why would she take those sources?" What about Crystal?"

"I think... it's for revenge." Zhuang Yunzhou couldn't forget the look in the woman's eyes when she was holding Yuan Jing and was about to disappear around the corner. Those eyes were full of ridicule and revenge.

"What?... Retaliation? Retaliation for what? Fengyuan Building? She took the money and it is only good for Fengyuan Building. What can she get in revenge?" Even Su Yu was confused.

Zhuang Yunzhou shook his head: "It's not revenge for Fengyuan Building."

"It's revenge for those who lined up outside to let the children start their careers in Fengyuan Building. Those who insulted her, insulted her ex-husband and her children, and wanted to step on her to enter the store."

Zhuang Yunzhou lowered his eyes: "If she took Yuanjing, everyone will be sure that she is indeed a fool who came to blackmail, and naturally she will not leave because of this. If Fengyuan Building really played tricks in the process of Qiyuan, then these People will be the next victims, and one day they will also taste the consequences of today's help."

With Su Yu stunned on the spot, he couldn't accept such an explanation: "This is impossible. If what the little woman said is true, shouldn't she hate Fengyuan Building the most? Isn't this the same as helping Fengyuan Building?" Consolidated reputation? Helped my enemy!"

Standing by the side, Shen Shen finally said: "Because she is desperate to get revenge on Fengyuan Building. It is definitely not the first time she has done this, but judging from today, the treatment she received in the past will not be better than today Where are you going?"

"People who have no power, no power, and no power can do anything when they are desperate. When you can't take revenge on the culprit, where should you vent your anger, unwillingness, and despair?"

"'I obviously did nothing wrong, why did you treat me like this?' The accomplice who was standing by was even more hateful."

After Su Yu heard this, he felt chills all over his body. He would rather believe that the woman he had sympathized with was a bad person, than that a woman who was sincere and only wanted to find the truth was forced to the point of evil by the world. .

The eldest son involuntarily raised his head to look at Su Wu and Fengzhao who had protected him since he was a child, looking for support.But Su Wu and Fengzhao just said indifferently: "My lord, this matter has nothing to do with us."

Su Yu's heart was completely chilled by the reaction of the two of them. He was silent for a while, then raised his head and said in a deep voice, "How could it be irrelevant?"

Su Wu and Fengzhao were taken aback for a moment, and saw the handsome androgynous child they had grown up with since childhood, and said loudly: "This is the northern border, and I am the eldest son of the northern border. This land belongs to me. The pure land created by father's blood and sweat, can't let these things pollute it!"

"Su Wu, I want to investigate this matter!"

The corner of Zhuang Yunzhou's mouth curled up into a smile, and he glanced at Fang Qiling: Su Xun, the Northern Saint, should not be a bad person for teaching such a son.

??

Since the Eldest Young Master said to investigate, it is natural that the matter should be investigated.Su Wu sent the order out, and the hidden guards who had been hiding in the dark took action, and soon found out the little woman's life and current residence.

It was said that this little woman and her husband were an ordinary, loving couple. After marriage, they had a son. She opened a small grocery store in the city, and her husband often went to the Chamber of Commerce to accept some tasks. With some skills, the family lives happily.

Until their son grows up and is about to start.The first origin technique obtained by the cultivator when he initiated the origin is very important, it is the only origin technique that cannot be washed away in a lifetime.Parents want to give the best to their children, so they discussed to let their son start his birth next to the ancestral source in Fengyuan Building. If Zuyuan likes it, he will bestow the innate high-level source technique, which will surely benefit him forever.

Because even though the cost of Qiyuan is very expensive, they have brought it together, but they didn't expect that their son Qiyuan could only get an innate seventh-generation lightning origin technique.Although the family was very disappointed, they still felt that it was nothing. Lightning source technique is a powerful source technique.Zuyuan is by his side, if it is not possible, he can spend the source crystal to resonate with the origin technique and increase the level of the origin technique.

It costs a lot of ancestral resonance once. Due to limited talent, I don’t know how many times it takes to upgrade to the desired level. The male owner of this family accepted a more dangerous task in order to make money, but he didn’t want to leave without returning .

The woman didn't point her head at Fengyuan Pavilion at the very beginning. Just a month ago, the woman heard something from somewhere, and just started looking for Fengyuan Pavilion to get a result.

"What did that woman know?" You Su Yu decided to visit the door in person after receiving the investigation results from the hidden guards.

Zhuang Yunzhou and Fang Qiling naturally went together.

A group of people shuttled through the low, dilapidated and dirty alleys. The stench made people hold their noses. Children's distressed sounds, quarrels, and unbearable voices gathered in this area to form a thick layer of people at the bottom. life picture.

Su Yu frowned, stepped on the land mixed with mud, blood and stolen goods with expensive shoes, stood in front of a simple thatched hut, and hesitantly patted the courtyard gate in front of him, which was barely made up of two wooden boards.

"Who is it?" A familiar female voice sounded in the courtyard, and one eye appeared through the crack of the door. When you saw the bright and beautiful group of people outside the door, the eye quickly flashed a trace of surprise.Then the other party hesitated for a moment, and with a 'squeak' sound, opened the door from the inside.

The little woman stood at the door and gave a small salute to everyone. When she saw Zhuang Yunzhou and Fang Qiling, there was a little warmth in her eyes: "Dare you ask why you are here?"

"Aren't you going to invite us in?" Fang Qiling smiled.

There was a flash of embarrassment in the little woman's eyes, she nodded, let the door open, and let a few people in, after searching the house for a while, she found seven tea bowls of different sizes, washed them and poured water Bring it over: "The house is simple, so don't blame the guests."

Zhuang Yunzhou smiled: "That's good."

Seeing that they really didn't dislike them, the woman finally showed some real smiles on her face. After a pause, she said, "Did you all come here because of the Fengyuan Tower incident yesterday?"

"Exactly." You Su Yu put down the tea bowl, "I want to know the truth."

The little woman smiled faintly: "Everyone insists on Qiyuan, the innate source of treasure, Fengyuan Building has it. If you want to resonate with ancestors, Fengyuan Building can also provide it. What does the truth have to do with you? "

"Standing behind Fengyuan Building is the lord of Beiqiu. What can be changed if he knows it or not?"

"I don't have the truth you want here. Everyone, please go back after drinking this bowl of water."

After finishing speaking, the woman turned her head and walked towards the stove with the worn-out kettle in her hand.

"If I say, you tell me the truth, will I give you justice?" Su Yu asked from behind.

The woman's back paused, her hand holding the teapot tightened, but she didn't turn around, she just asked, "How can I prove it?"

"Su Wu." Su Yu called out.

Su Wu responded, "Yes, my lord."

Su Wu walked over and stood up a token. The woman looked at the token in the shape of nine tails, a look of shock flashed in her eyes, and the teapot in her hand fell to the ground when her divine sense swept over the contents.

'Crack', the sound of broken porcelain woke up the woman, she suddenly turned around, and bowed to Su Yu with a loud plop: "The little lady has seen the eldest son!"

Su Yu raised his hand: "Get up. Are you willing to talk now?"

"You should know everything you want to say, and you can say everything you want." The woman stood up, her eyes were full of hope, and the sorrow on her body was greatly diluted.

"Things have to start from a month ago—"

"My son had Qiyuan in Fengyuan Building a year ago. He succeeded in Qiyuan and got a seventh-generation lightning origin technique. Our family has never doubted it. It's just a pity that the child's talent is not outstanding. We plan to raise some money to wait for him. When I was older, I performed ancestral resonance. For this purpose, my husband went out on adventures and never complained."

"We sent him to Mengyang Academy to practice. Then one day, my son came back from the academy and was very happy to tell me that the professors of Mengyang Academy praised him."

"The teacher said that my son's talent is outstanding, but it's a pity that he didn't get a good source of treasure when Qiyuan was born, and it's a pity that he has a rare thunder attribute."

"At that time, I felt that something was wrong. If my son is highly talented and has a rare thunder attribute, then why did he only get an innate seventh-generation origin technique when he clearly used the lightning ancestor? Later, I went to ask several families who were also Qiyuan in Fengyuan Building, and their children have all kinds of attributes, and the worst one is the sixth generation of congenital."

"At first, I was just suspicious, and I was going to discuss it after my husband came back, but I didn't want my husband..." The woman choked up twice, and quickly restrained her pain, and continued, "Until one night, a stone of caution Was thrown into my yard."

"Huh?" Su Yu raised his eyebrows, "What watchful stone?"

"A stone of attention that records the conversation between Li Chengcai, the son of the shopkeeper of Fengyuan Building, and the staff." The woman's eyes showed strong resentment, "Ye Chengcai said, 'That brat from the Spirit Race dares to say that I am ugly. Go, Turn on the interference array, turn it on to the maximum! What about the thunder attribute? I won’t let you get a single innate source treasure!'”

"Interference array?!" Su Yu was taken aback for a moment, but Zhuang Yunzhou and Fang Qiling showed an expression of 'so it is'.

Zhuang Yunzhou said: "The Heluo people who are good at making formations have a formation called 'disturbance formation'. Once covered by the disturbance formation, the aura emitted by a person will become different. If the child is in this Under normal circumstances, it is very likely that Zu Yuan didn't notice his thunder attribute at all."

Fang Qiling sneered: "Fengyuanlou's calculations are really shrewd. The Lightning Origin Art is extremely powerful, even if ordinary people only have a low-level Innate Lightning Element Origin Art, they will not be willing to give it up."

"As long as they do some tricks during the initiation, so that most people get low-level innate origin techniques, then these people who have initiated their origins here will continue to come to the door, trying to use the origin technique resonance to improve The origin skill level of your own child."

"This business can make a lot more money than just selling Kaiyuan quotas, and it is a long-term business. People always hope that one day they can raise their Genesis to the highest and strongest."

"Too ruthless!" Shen Mo gasped.

A cold light flashed in Su Yu's eyes, he looked at the little woman in front of him, and asked, "Then, where is the Watching Stone?"

"Broken." The woman said with gloomy eyes.

"Broken?!" A group of people repeated in surprise.

The little woman smiled wryly, lowered her head, took out a few fragments from her belt, and handed them over with both hands: "I don't know why, after I finished viewing this stone of attention, it was broken into pieces like this. It is because of this that no one knows what I said. Ken believes it."

You Su Yu frowned, and motioned to Su Wu. The other party took the Watching Stone, swept away his spiritual sense, and nodded to You Su Yu: "It's the Secret Shadow Stone."

The Mystery Stone that appeared mysteriously added some twists and turns to this matter. Fang Qiling didn't know what to think of, his eyes instantly became dark, he pursed his lips, and did not speak.

There is Su Yu, but he doesn't care where and why this secret shadow stone came from. What he wants to do is very simple.

"Su Wu, go and investigate. If what she said is true, I will raze Fengyuan Building to the ground." Su Yu felt sick when he thought of these people cheating others for their own selfishness. Such a place What are you keeping?

Fang Qiling pressed his hand: "Fengyuan Building has been in business for so many years, and the disturbance array must be kept in a secret place. If the building is destroyed without evidence, not only will the lady be unable to be innocent, but we will also have a lot of trouble. "

Just as Su Yu was about to say something, he was reminded: "Are you willing to be entangled by Lord Beiqiu? I have heard of his style."

Su Yu frowned in disgust, conniving at relatives to do evil things, seeing disgust: "Then what shall we do?"

"The mountain man has his own plan."

??

The intelligence organization of the Lord of the Northern Territory has extraordinary capabilities. It took only half a day for Su Yu's order to be issued, and everything about Fengyuan Building was placed on Su Yu's desk. After confirming that what the woman said was true, Zhuang Yunzhou and his party went to Fengyuan Building again.

With Su Wu's advance arrangement, Zhuang Yunzhou quickly got the quota for entering the building.

But today, it happened that Li Daqiang, the shopkeeper, was not around, and his son Li Chengcai was in charge.

Li Chengcai loves to hear the sound of source crystals colliding with each other, as long as he is there, he must be at the cash register.

"Ancestral resonance, benefit fifty thousand source crystals."

Sitting on the counter was a young Eldar girl with a sweet and lovely appearance, and behind her was a large and luxurious nest, in which a man of limited ability was still chewing jerky.

Zhuang Yunzhou took out a storage bag, and when the other party signaled him to put the source crystal into the storage box in the store, Zhuang Yunzhou said: "Before paying the source crystal, I have a question that I want to ask clearly."

"Guest please tell me."

"I've heard before that your store uses a disturbance array to interfere with the origin and resonance of customers, but is it true?"

The smile of the nun at the counter did not change: "Where did the customer hear this nonsense, there is absolutely nothing!"

"Really? I heard what they said was true. They said that you deliberately opened the sensory array to make people dig out the source crystals again and again, so that they could not obtain high-level source techniques, and the effect of ancestral resonance is also very poor."

"Who is talking nonsense there! This is absolutely nothing. If they can't get high-level source arts, it's because of their poor aptitude! Our Fengyuan building is the most honest in business. If the talent is good, it can make Zuyuan recognize it. Lord, I also hand over Fengyuan Building!"

"Okay! You said that!" Zhuang Yunzhou clapped his hands, "Don't deny it when the time comes!"

Li Chengcai sneered: "There are so many people listening! Whoever repudiates will die!"
