Longevity begins with a proud smile

Chapter 220 Inspiration
No matter what kind of knowledge Zhao Min had about Zhou Zhiruo, Zhuo Lingfeng would not be surprised, only "heartbroken".

Regardless of whether it comes from the memory of the previous life or the cognition of this life, Zhou Zhiruo is undoubtedly beautiful and gives people a feeling of being weak. Anyone who sees her may have a desire to protect her, but Zhao Min is the only one who does not. , not to mention the word distressed!

Because Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo have always been dissatisfied with each other, the two of them are surrounded by the word "struggle".

This was the original trajectory, and it is the same now.

In a word, it is a big joke that Zhao Min feels sorry for Zhou Zhiruo. I believe that anyone who is familiar with the two will have this understanding.

Zhuo Lingfeng was naturally extremely surprised.

Zhao Min said leisurely: "I first met Zhou Zhiruo because of Zhang Wuji."

Zhuo Lingfeng nodded silently. Zhang Wuji was the leader of the Ming Cult. At that time, Zhao Min was bent on destroying the Ming Cult. Zhou Zhiruo performed an affectionate scene with him on Guangmingding, so she naturally paid special attention to him.

Zhao Min continued: "So I have known for a long time that Zhou Zhiruo's parents died when she was young, and she was rescued by Master Zhang and sent to the Emei sect. Although she is young, she is really talented and is highly valued by Master Miejie.

The Emei sect is dominated by women, and women have a much higher status than men. Similarly, women are small-minded and have a lot of right and wrong.In this way, Zhou Zhiruo will inevitably arouse jealousy.

Unlike other disciples, she has a sect and a family background, so she only has one Master Miejie to rely on.

At Guangmingding, Zhang Wuji defeated Master Miejie, took the Yitian Sword, and handed the Yitian Sword to Zhou Zhiruo, asking her to return it to Miejie. This certainly showed how much he valued Zhou Zhiruo.

It also brought Zhou Zhiruo to the forefront and attracted the attention of people all over the world.

But the master and senior sisters were very suspicious of her. Although it ended with her stabbing Zhang Wuji, the incident lingered in everyone's mind.

Later, you appeared out of nowhere and rescued the Emei Sect from my clutches. Master Miejie was extremely grateful to you.

She pushed you to a high position in the martial arts world, and she also wanted to marry you as her precious apprentice. This idea will not change at all when you and I are united! "

Zhuo Lingfeng was stunned and said: "How is that possible?"

Zhao Min said calmly: "A person like Master Miejie has suffered such a big loss at my hands. You also said that in her original trajectory, she had already given birth to the heart of never leaving the pagoda in Wan'an Temple, so she can Zhang Wuji was saved by Zhang Wuji, but he was not favored by him and chose to commit suicide!

Obviously, she had given up her ambition the moment she was captured by me for the sake of the honor of the Emei Sect.It was just that she didn't have the chance to tell Zhou Zhiruo the secret of the Yitian Sword and the Dragon Slaying Knife alone, so she kept holding on. After leaving the funeral affairs to her precious apprentice, she chose to die to protect the reputation of herself and the Emei Sect.

However, neither you nor Zhang Wuji can hide the fact that her Emei faction was captured by a Mongolian witch like me. So why did I accept your offer of rescue and not reject it at all? "

Zhuo Lingfeng stroked her hair and asked, "Why?"

Zhao Min raised his face and said with a smile: "Because of your background.

Think about it, you are from the Quanzhen sect, and you also said that the internal strength of the father and daughter Guo Daxia and Guo Nuxia are also Quanzhen internal strength.

So in the eyes of Master Miejie, you are a family member. After all, Emei Patriarch and her father have received great favors from the Quanzhen Sect. As a descendant, she will be favored by the Quanzhen Sect again, which will neither damage her reputation nor the prestige of Emei. , so she didn’t have any qualms!
This alone makes you a hundred times stronger than Zhang Wuji.

So no matter what Zhang Wuji thinks of Zhou Zhiruo, no matter how good he is personally, there is no chance of winning against the Emei Sect for his position in the heart of Master Miejie.

Therefore, no matter how chivalrous and righteous he is, and he is famous all over the world, he will not be able to catch the eyes of Master Miejie.

Because the reputation of the Emei Sect is as big as the sky in Master Miejie’s heart, I know this very well, so that’s why I said at the beginning that if she didn’t come to Green Willow Villa to see me, I would throw the Yitian Sword down the Yellow River!
Therefore, Miejie Shitai knew that she had a narrow escape, but she still had to do it, because she was carrying the reputation of the Emei Sect and could not tolerate retreating.

She can even give up her own life to avoid losing her reputation in Emei. With Zhou Zhiruo's understanding, do you think she can see this? "

Zhuo Lingfeng thought for a while and said, "You are right. I did have a good background. It also made everything complicated."

Suddenly, he saw Zhao Min staring at him, with reproach in his eyes, and said hurriedly: "Mei Min, what's wrong!"

Zhao Min said: "How can I blame you? Who made the Quanzhen Sect so famous in the past that they looked up to the martial arts world. The top masters in the past hundred years and the big sects in the martial arts world all have a close relationship with the Quanzhen Sect. , which one is not favored?
In today's martial arts world, Master Zhang is the most famous, and he has also been favored by Master Yang. You also said that Master Yang's father is a disciple of Quanzhen, and he himself was benefited by Master Chongyang in the ancient tomb. He married his wife in the capital. It was witnessed by Master Chongyang, and he considered himself to be a disciple of Master Chongyang.

The leader of the Beggar Clan also had Quanzhen sect in the past, which had such a deep shadow in the martial arts world. This is why Zhang Zhenren spent his entire life unable to compare with the Quanzhen sect.

Of course, this is also the reason why our former emperor, Shizu, wanted to unite Tantric Buddhism and even Buddhism to suppress and eradicate the Quanzhen Sect.

I heard my father say that day, not to mention the past, even now in the imperial palace, there are many dignitaries who still believe in the Quanzhen way, which shows its far-reaching influence.

Similarly, although there are still descendants of the Quanzhen Sect today, no one dares to travel around the world. Why?
It's all because the Quanzhen Sect is now in decline, and they don't have the ability. Coming out will only bring shame to the Quanzhen Sect, and they won't be able to sustain the glory and glory of the past, but you can dominate the entire martial arts world alone.

So you, a visitor from another world, obviously have no roots here, but no one from the Quanzhen sect dares to come out and question your master.

Because your martial arts skills are superior to those in the martial arts world, and you are a person who is eager for justice and justice, this is a great honor for everyone in the Quanzhen Sect, and no one dares to question your identity.

And you also said that Miejie Shitai has two major wishes, one is to expel us Mongols, and the other is to become a martial arts leader.

But there are differences between men and women. The first thing a woman can't do is that she put her first wish on you, hoping that you could join Emei, but you refused!

Her second wish seems to be on Zhou Zhiruo, but in fact it is still on you.

Zhou Zhiruo followed you because she did it intentionally. If you don't understand the Nine Yin Manual, it's actually an excuse.

In fact, I just want you to have more contact with each other. With Zhou Zhiruo's appearance and your young age, it will be difficult not to develop feelings for you over time.

Just like now, Zhou Zhiruo's experience with you can be regarded as sharing weal and woe. The three of us lived on Spirit Snake Island for three months, and you and I often ate the food she cooked. Such experiences are beyond what Zhang Wuji can do. Comparable? "

Zhuo Lingfeng couldn't help but think that back on Spirit Snake Island, Zhao Min was a noble man who never touched Yang Chun Shui. Everything from food to washing of clothes was all cooked by Zhou Zhiruo. Later, Zhao Min followed her and learned from her. Although he occasionally cooked by himself, But most of them study martial arts and teach martial arts to two women.

All these past events flashed through his mind like lightning.

I heard Zhao Min continue: "But I know that you have a preconceived impression of her, coupled with your special experience, you keep her at a distance and have never developed feelings for a man and a woman.

However, words make money and bones are lost, and now rumors about her and you are widely spread in the world. With her strict and reserved character, she has long been trapped in a deep conflict and cannot extricate herself.

And this conflict is not just love, but also ambition, and even Master's expectations. The reason why she has been so unreasonable recently and caught Shaolin and Kunlun and beat them cruelly is just to strengthen their hearts! "

Zhuo Lingfeng raised his eyebrows and said, "To strengthen his heart?"

Zhao Min nodded and said: "Because after arriving at Butterfly Valley and meeting Master and the senior sisters, whether she wants to be in charge of Emei, or wants to be married as a wife, or she can have both, this is what she has to report to Master. , She doesn’t want to think about it herself, do you think Master Miejie won’t ask her about this matter?”

Zhao Min saw Zhuo Lingfeng's confused look and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Zhuo Lingfeng hesitated and said: "Why didn't I think so deeply!"

Zhao Min smiled and asked: "You are only thinking about big things. If you can still think of it, I will make trouble with you!"

Zhuo Lingfeng was stunned, thinking that if he thought about this, he would be thinking about Zhou Zhiruo all the time.

This is the thought.I felt that Zhao Min was cute and cute, and even his jealousy was so subtle that he couldn't help but kiss her.

Zhao Min squeaked, her cheeks turned red, making her even more charming. She pushed him away and said, "I'm talking about business!"

Zhuo Lingfeng smiled and said in her ear: "But with you alone, I can't bear it. If there is another one, it will be a beautiful thing to watch you fight every day and consume energy!"

Zhao Min's face turned red and he spat: "What are you talking about? I can't stand it anymore!"

She knew Zhuo Lingfeng was joking, so she slowly snuggled her delicate body into Zhuo Lingfeng's arms, and said: "Zhou Zhiruo is actually the same as me, a person who will never give up until he achieves his goal.

She started a quarrel with Shaolin to no avail, then started causing trouble with you, and even attacked me. In fact, she still had the same purpose! "

Zhuo Lingfeng stopped joking, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, and let out a long sigh. He knew that what Zhao Min said was true, so he smiled bitterly and said: "After listening to what you said, she was testing my reaction?"

Zhao Min rolled her eyes at him, pointed his forehead and said: "You are stupid, I am your wife, she beats me, you protect me, this is natural, how can she not know?

Why test your reaction?

She is testing her own reaction, or trying to understand her own heart!
Because she is still confused until now. She doesn't know whether she wants to become a nun and take over the head of the family when she meets the master, or whether she wants to get married and have children like other girls' families, or whether she wants to fight against the master. , she wants to take over the reins, and she also wants to be with her beloved.

But I never expected that all this plan would go down the drain when you took action against Kong Zhi! "

Zhuo Lingfeng asked suspiciously: "What does this mean?"

Zhao Min said: "Oh, you are so stupid. What do you think her chances are of winning against the monk Zhi Shen in the sky?"

Zhuo Lingfeng muttered: "It depends on whether Kong Zhi saw Zhou Zhiruo's attack on Yuanyin and the others.

If he hadn't seen it, Zhou Zhiruo would have a [-]% chance of winning if she was caught by surprise. But if Kong Zhi had been hiding in the woods and watching for a long time, then she would probably lose. After all, how could her internal strength be as deep as Kong Zhi's decades? "

Zhao Min nodded and said: "Didn't Zhou Zhiruo estimate the situation? She knew it well, but she still had to take action. In this way, she could tell Master that she would not forget Master's orders.

I also thought of how after the fight, if I were defeated, I would protect her based on my personality, or I would leave her alone.

But by then, she will definitely have an answer as to whether love is more important in her heart or her ambition to dominate the martial arts world is more important.

Then when she met Master Jiejie, she would have something to say, so as not to worry about it every day. "

Zhuo Lingfeng suddenly understood. He thought he knew Zhou Zhiruo, but now that he thought about it, he had never really understood this girl's thoughts.He couldn't help but sigh: "After listening to what you said, I realized that whether it's love or righteousness, many things are just wishful thinking!"

Zhao Min sighed quietly: "But you actually said, 'She is such a bastard, no wonder they don't want you.' Obviously, this result was something she did not expect."

Zhuo Lingfeng blushed and said, "I was in a hurry, so I didn't hesitate to speak!"

Zhao Min shook his head and said: "It is precisely because you were in a hurry that you can better represent your sincerity, and this is what makes Zhou Zhiruo heartbroken!"

Zhuo Lingfeng stammered: "You, you said she was heartbroken?"

Zhao Min smiled and said: "What? You regret it? Zhou Zhiruo is such a handsome person, and Yingying is not here, it just makes you happy and hugging her, so it's not a bad idea!"

Zhuo Lingfeng couldn't help but feel a slight heat on his face, and continued: "I didn't see it, she was heartbroken!" "Why not?" Zhao Min said: "You think, she is a good lady from a famous family, because Zhang Wuji and his master fell into a deep conflict.

But because of you, now the whole world is full of your affair with her. For someone as proud as her, as she said, how can she get along with Zhang Wuji like she did before?

And Zhang Wuji is also a passionate person, always showing mercy, and he promised to marry his cousin as his wife, and he is also a maid.

In this way, this rumor in the world is tantamount to ending her relationship with Zhang Wuji.

In fact, she thought of this problem on Spirit Snake Island.

And she is actually confused about you. After all, you already have me, and she is very dissatisfied with me. She can only judge whether she loves you by targeting me.

After all, her martial arts skills are superior to mine. If I fight with her, if she can attack me, it means she doesn't love you.

But if you can’t do it, then it’s love!

But you stopped her again and treated her like that! "

When Zhuo Lingfeng heard this, his mind was a little confused. He really couldn't figure out the girl's thoughts and said, "What kind of statement is this? How can I deal with you and it will affect whether she loves me or not?"

Zhao Min snorted coldly: "Zhou Zhiruo hates me in her heart, but she has a determined heart and will kill anyone if she says to!
Deep down in her heart, she is naturally willing to kill me, but if she is unable to do so at the critical moment, there is only one reason, and it will only be for your favor!
But she didn't expect that she didn't test out whether she loved you, but she found out that you value me very much, but have no love for her at all.

Isn't your approach wasting her troubles in vain?

In fact, in her heart, as long as you cherish her, she will beat me, because you married me and still pity her, what does this mean?
Unexpectedly, your leader, Zhuo Da, is really a gentleman. He doesn't even think about working with the same husband as Emperor E and Nvying.She lost miserably!
Then what else can she do in the future besides walking on the path of sitting on the Taoist platform?
Oh, how pitiful she is. Seeing her heartbroken, I really feel sorry for her. "

Zhao Min spoke so straightforwardly, but Zhuo Lingfeng felt as if he was struck by lightning. Zhou Zhiruo's frown and smile flashed across his mind, and his brows were raised again and again.

After she finished speaking, Zhuo Lingfeng was silent for a long time, and then sighed: "You women have deep thoughts, and this week Zhiruo's thoughts are even more unpredictable. I don't know her intentions. What's even more unexpected is that you Her understanding is far better than that of a prophet like me,"

Having said this, he shook his head again and again: "And the love you feel for her is beyond my imagination."

Zhao Min smiled and said: "Perhaps the one who is close to vermillion is red, and the one who is close to ink is black.

I followed you and have been trying to use what you often say, before you do anything, put yourself in someone else’s perspective and think about it.

This week Zhiruo looks weak, but actually has a stronger personality, just like me.

But if I have any troubles, if I am unhappy, if I am unhappy, I have a father, a brother, and a mother, and I can talk to them about it. I can also act violently, throw things, and deal with people to vent my anger!
But Zhou Zhiruo was not like that. She had a lonely life, no parents, no brothers or sisters. No one, whether it was Master Miejie or her group of senior sisters, could listen to her talk.

She lived a cautious life, and could only suppress all the hesitation and confusion in her heart, so when her endurance reached the limit, she would inevitably make a mistake.At that time, it will not only be her personal regret, but it may even cause a misfortune in the martial arts world.

As you said, in the original trajectory, she embarked on this path because of Zhang Wuji, and today she still embarks on this path because of you. This makes me, a person with the advantage of foresight, how can I not Are you feeling distressed? "

Things in the world are strange, especially the emotions between people, which are even more subtle.

Zhao Min was cunning and eccentric, and had never had a good impression of Zhou Zhiruo. Especially when Zhuo Lingfeng was present, he was even more disgusted with her. However, in just half a day, a great change occurred in his heart.

Just because she saw what Zhou Zhiruo did today, she seemed to see herself again. She did not hesitate to become a laughing stock and betrayed her country and father for Zhuo Lingfeng, but she got what she wanted.

On the other hand, Zhou Zhiruo seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, and she couldn't help but think of Zhou Zhiruo's original fate. It was obvious that no matter what she did, this would be her fate in the end.

Comparatively speaking, she is much happier than Zhou Zhiruo!
I couldn't help but feel a kind of sympathy for Zhou Zhiruo. From sympathy, I felt pity, and then from pity, I sublimated a private thought.

That's why she felt sorry for Zhou Zhiruo.

After hearing what Zhao Min said, Zhuo Lingfeng's heart stirred up, and he couldn't help but said: "Mei Min, you are absolutely right, I am a man, and my thoughts are not as delicate as your daughters'.

She was preconceived, thinking about how to fight against Yuan, and didn't care about her personal feelings at all.

What I said just now was indeed harsh. I have to apologize to her! "

As he spoke, he took Zhao Min and ran wildly.

Zhuo Lingfeng was anxious and confused. He felt an inexplicable guilt in his heart. He felt that if he didn't apologize to others today, he would be uneasy for the rest of his life.

Zhuo Lingfeng ran for several miles in one breath and stopped at a three-way intersection. There was no one on the road. He didn't know whether Zhou Zhiruo entered Xuzhou City or took the two-way road.

Zhuo Lingfeng was extremely frustrated and sighed: "I don't know if she entered the city or...!"

Seeing his dejected look, Zhao Min couldn't help but smile and said, "Are you worried about her?"

Zhuo Lingfeng was silent. He didn't know whether he was worried or not.

Zhao Min said: "She grew up in the Emei sect, how could she not know the principle of enduring humiliation and perseverance? Back then, she was on the top of the Bright Summit, guiding Zhang Wuji to break the Kunlun Huashan's positive and negative ritual formations, accurately grasping the temperament of the exterminator, and not only made Zhang Wuji change his mind. The situation also caused Emei Ding Minjun and Kunlun He Taichong to suffer a heavy loss.

Based on this alone, none of the hundreds of disciples in Emei can compare.Besides, on Spirit Snake Island, Granny Jinhua was very skilled in martial arts and scheming, but she fell into the hands of such a little girl. You saw it too!Being so smart and alert, nothing will happen to you. "

After hearing this, Zhuo Lingfeng felt relieved and sighed: "She is certainly not an ordinary woman, but she is so beautiful and her temperament has changed drastically, and she is willing to kill people at every turn. How can this be possible!"

Zhao Min said casually: "If you meet a disciple, you will kill him. But since she got your true inheritance, there are not many people in the world who can surpass her."

Zhuo Lingfeng shook his head and said: "It is not good for her to be hurt by others, but it is also not a good thing for her to hurt others. There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this world, and it is weird..."

At this point, he suddenly heard the sound of rapid horse hooves coming from behind. Zhuo Lingfeng looked back and saw five fast horses galloping side by side. The iron hooves passed by, and the dust filled the sky.

Zhuo Lingfeng has profound internal skills and unusually sharp eyesight. At one glance, he could clearly see the face of the person coming. He couldn't help but frown slightly and whispered: "Mei Min, the creditor is here!"

He held Zhao Min and turned around, landing under a tree on the side of the road.

But they saw five fast horses galloping like lightning. In a moment, they had reached a few feet away from the two of them.

The five men pulled back their reins sharply, and the horses neighed and stood upright to stop their rush.

The five people did not wait for the horses' hooves to hit the ground, and floated under the saddle together. Their movements were light and fast, and their light skills were all superb.

They are none other than Wudang Five Heroes Song Yuanqiao, Yu Lianzhou, Zhang Songxi, Yin Liting, and Mo Shenggu.

After the five people jumped off their horses, they bowed to each other at the same time and said, "Wish you and your wife, come and be safe!"

They had met people before, and when they saw Zhao Min wearing a bun as a young woman, they knew they were married.

Zhuo Lingfeng returned the salute and said, "I never thought that the Five Wudang Heroes would come together, so please invite me!"

Zhao Min also took the pregnancy as a gift and said: "The Six Heroes of Yin are back as before. It's really gratifying and congratulatory!"

Yin Liting said calmly: "Thanks to Mrs. Zhuo's gift of medicine, Yin Liufang will see you again."

His limbs were crushed by Zhao Min's men. Although he was cured by the "Black Jade Intermittent Cream", the pain could not be erased.

Concurrently with the death of his eldest nephew Song Qingshu, his words were quite sarcastic.

Zhuo Lingfeng and Zhao Min both understood, so they both smiled.

Yu Lianzhou said: "Gang Leader Zhuo, we are here to ask you where Cheng Kun is!"

He is taciturn and always gets straight to the point when he speaks.

Zhuo Lingfeng had already expected what he would say, and said calmly: "It's a long story. Why don't I go into the city and have a sip of tea while I tell you the inside story!"

The Wudang Five Heroes looked at each other, Mo Shenggu ranked last, but he was the most impatient and shouted: "You once said you would hand over Cheng Kun to us in two months, but you broke your promise.

If we happen to meet each other today, please explain it to me. What’s the trouble? Why do I need to drink your tea? "

Zhuo Lingfeng's face darkened, but he finally held back and shouted, "You guys are not worried, so how about we wait until the Heroes Conference to solve it together?"

Before he finished speaking, Mo Shenggu said: "You have lost your reputation and acted like this. I'm afraid my nephew's death is just what you wanted!"

Zhao Min's pretty face turned cold and said: "You...!" Just as he was about to speak, Zhuo Lingfeng turned his face and said softly: "Mei Min, don't worry about this..."

Seeing the two of them acting like this, Mo Shenggu became even more angry. Huo Di used his "tiger claw grabbing hand" to grab Zhao Min's pipa bones.

Zhuo Lingfeng sneered, waved his sleeves, and a strong wind blew, causing the branches to ripple and crack, but there was a constant muffled rustling, and the branches and leaves fell one after another.

Mo Shenggu felt a strong wind blowing against his face, and he was involuntarily lifted seven feet away. Several footprints were immediately left on the hard sand and gravel under his feet.

Zhuo Lingfeng took a step forward, put a hand on his waist, and said coldly: "You, Mo Shenggu, have lived up to your reputation as a hero!"

Yin Liting suddenly pulled out his long sword and said angrily: "Gang Leader Zhuo, we respect you as a martial arts expert and hope you will respect your words."

Zhuo Lingfeng raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "So what if you don't respect yourself?"

Zhang Songxi was resourceful and said: "Sixth brother, seventh brother, we are definitely not dishonest and unrighteous people in the market. How can we be so shameless?"

These words seemed to blame Yin Liumoqi, but in fact they once again accused Zhuo Lingfeng of being dishonest.

Zhuo Lingfeng originally promised to hand over Cheng Kun to Cheng Kun in two months, but things changed. Even though he had sent a letter to inform him, he broke his promise after all. Considering his status, he was inconvenient and became sulky.

Song Yuanqiao, the most cultivated person, glanced at Zhao Min and said: "Gang Leader Zhuo, there are rumors in the world recently that Cheng Kun was once captured by you in Ruyang Prince's Mansion, but you let him go.

When we received the news, we didn't dare to believe it, but after many investigations, we found that the news not only came from Dadu City, but also came from the Ruyang Palace.The reason Cheng Kun killed my beloved son was all because he blocked your way, and it was also because of your instructions. Is it true or not? "
