Chapter 4331 Chapter 4333 [Until death]
For the next few days, Xiang Nan stayed in bed at the Duke's Mansion to recover from his injuries.
Song Yuzhi and Li Xiuning also often stayed by his side, helping him change and feed him medicine, playing chess and chatting with him to prevent him from getting bored.
"It is said that Sun Wukong knew that Bi Mawen was just a petty official, so he rebelled against Heaven in anger, abandoned his official position, and returned to Huaguo Mountain..." Xiang Nan told Song Yuzhi a story.
Anyway, I was bored these days, so Xiang Nan told Song Yuzhi the story of "Journey to the West".
"Journey to the West" is one of the four great classics. It has been quite popular since its birth and has been published again and again.
Because it was so popular, bookseller Yu Xiangdou compiled "Journey to the South", "Journey to the East", "Journey to the North", etc., and then sold them together with the abridged version of "Journey to the West" as "Journey to the West" as "Four Journeys".
In short, it was precisely because "Journey to the West" was so popular that even booksellers came to ride on the popularity. This also illustrates the popularity of "Journey to the West".
Sure enough, Song Yuzhi listened to Xiang Nan's "Journey to the West" and was fascinated, "What's next? How will Heaven deal with him?"
"It's getting late. Let's go back and rest first. I'll tell you tomorrow." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile.
"It's annoying, but it's too much." Song Yuzhi said coquettishly, "But, well, you haven't recovered from your injury. After you recover from your injury, I want you to tell me the whole story in one breath."
"Don't worry, I'm sure." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled.
Song Yuzhi left with satisfaction.
…
"Come in." Xiang Nan raised his voice after Song Yuzhi left.
Immediately, a red shadow flew into the room, followed by a gust of fragrant wind, which shook people's spirits.
"Master Zhong's story is really good. Even I was fascinated by it." Huanhan pursed her lips and smiled.
"That's natural. When it comes to telling stories, no one in the world can match me." Xiang Nan said with a proud smile. With thousands of years of cultural accumulation, is that a joke?
"Indeed." Huanwan nodded, "Young Master Zhong can be called 'the most talented man in the world'."
"You're welcome. If you need anything from me, just ask." Xiang Nan waved his hand and ignored her flattery.
"Can't people come and see you?" Huanwan said with a shy look, "You are really cruel to yourself, you actually cut yourself so many times."
She knew that internal injuries could be faked, so she once pretended to be poisoned and asked Xiang Nan and Xu Ziling to help her heal her injuries. But Xiang Nan's injuries cannot be faked. He really cut his body with a knife.
"Okay, don't say these things to me. Do you think I will believe it?" Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Tell the truth, don't talk around."
Hearing what Xiang Nan said, a hint of loneliness suddenly flashed across Huanwan's face, but then she smiled and said, "Young Master Zhong is still happy. Okay, let me tell the truth. I came here because Master wanted me to take it back." Holy relics.”
Now that the Evil Emperor's relic is in Xiang Nan's hands, Queen Zhu Yuyan, the leader of the Demon Sect, naturally hopes to get it back.
"Yes, the Evil Emperor's relic is a treasure that has been passed down by your Demon Sect for generations. Logically speaking, it should be returned to you." Xiang Nan nodded, "But as far as I know, the Evil Emperor's relic was originally the first generation Evil Emperor Xie Tiao. A funerary object stolen from an ancient tomb. So strictly speaking, the Evil Emperor's relics were stolen from others by your demon sect. In this case, let's not talk about the so-called "all things born in nature". In other words, if you want to get the Evil Emperor's relic from me, you can do it. If she has the ability, she can get it herself."
The Evil Emperor's relics can store internal energy, and he would not be willing to hand over such a treasure. What's more, this crystal ball was originally obtained by the Demon Sect's tomb robbers, and now that it was taken away by him, it was a cycle of nature and retribution.
If he can't keep it and it is taken away by others in the future, he deserves it.
…
"Don't be like this, Master Zhong, as long as you agree to return the evil emperor's relics, our demon sect is willing to pay any price." Seeing what he said, Huanwen quickly said, "Even if you want to ascend the throne and become emperor, our demon sect is willing Help us with all your strength.”
"Hahahaha~" Xiang Nan burst out laughing when he heard this, "Acting on the throne and proclaiming himself emperor?! What a joke. If I want to be an emperor, all the emperors from all over the world have done it, so do I still need the support of your demon sect?"
Huanwan was stunned for a moment.
For those in the Demon Sect, unifying the martial arts world, dominating the world, dethroning Confucianism, and solemnly respecting the Demon Sect has always been their highest ideal.
So she later painstakingly cultivated Mingkong, also known as Wu Zhao, so that she could usurp the Li family's world, ascend the throne and proclaim herself emperor, becoming China's first and only queen.
So when she heard Xiang Nan's rejection, she was really surprised. She didn't expect that there were people in the world who didn't want to be the emperor.
"Is there really no room for negotiation?" Hanhan said again.
If Xiang Nan doesn't even care about being enthroned as emperor, then any gold and silver treasures must be useless.
"No." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said.
"Then you will never stop fighting with our Demon Sect from now on." Hanhan said.
"You can come and grab it." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "But I want to remind you first that the four major bandits of the Demon Sect and the shadow swordsman Yang Xuyan have been killed by me. So you'd better send more people Send some experts, otherwise you won’t even have a chance to get close to me.”
"You killed all four of the demon sect's bandits?! No wonder there's no news about them these days." Hanhan was shocked when she heard this.
The four major enemies of the Demon Sect are Bian Fuyi, You Niaojuan, Rong Fengxiang, and Rong Jiaojiao. Although their individual martial arts skills are not as good as those of Yin Queen Zhu Yuyan, together they are stronger than Zhu Yuyan.
This is also the reason why Zhu Yuyan has been unable to unify the Demon Sect for so many years.
But unexpectedly, all the four major bandits died in Xiang Nan's hands. From this point of view, even if Zhu Yuyan comes out of the mountain, she will probably come back defeated.
"Since Mr. Zhong said so, the Demon Sect will fight you to the death from now on." Hanwen then said, "You have to be careful in the future. We in the Demon Sect may not be as good as you in terms of martial arts, but in this world Victory is not determined solely by martial arts.”
"Thank you for reminding me, I will pay attention." Xiang Nan nodded, "By the way, where are Ziling and Miss Shi now?"
"They have been rescued by Kong Kong and brought back to Jing Nian Zen Temple." Huan Huan replied, "And as you expected, their relationship did get closer during their escape.
But my master said it was impossible for them to come together. Because the saints of Cihang Jingzhai were not allowed to be sentimental, Fan Qinghui would not allow his concubine Xuan to marry Xu Ziling. "
