Chapter 190: Master Jiejie
Zhou Zhiruo thought about it carefully and said, "The martial arts of the world come from Shaolin. Shaolin has always been the leader of the martial arts world and the object of admiration of martial artists all over the world. To a large extent, it represents the justice of the martial arts world.
As for Wudang, Master Zhang is highly respected and the Seven Heroes of Wudang are famous throughout the world, so they are naturally excellent.
Shaolin and Wudang are worthy of the reputation of being famous and upright sects."
Xin Zhen nodded and said, "According to the traditional concept of most martial artists, chivalry means to do good deeds and help the weak. This is everyone's interpretation of chivalry in the martial arts world.
However, in my opinion, this is far from enough.
Zhiruo, in my opinion, the word "hero" has two meanings: a small hero is one who helps others when seeing injustice, and a great hero is one who serves the country and the people."
Xin Zhen looked at Zhou Zhiruo deeply and said, "Whether it's Shaolin or Wudang, or any of the so-called famous and upright sects, there are not many who can become small heroes, and there are even fewer who can become great heroes.
On the contrary, many people in the Ming Cult are now determined to expel the Tartars for the sake of the country and the nation. This is the greatest chivalry. As for what these so-called famous and upright sects think, do you think it is important?
It is like a sparrow despising a swan. If the swan looks at them, it is considered the swan’s defeat.”
Zhou Zhiruo's blood boiled after hearing Xin Zhen's argument. When she was about to speak, she saw Xin Zhen frowning.
Zhou Zhiruo immediately looked towards Ji Xiaofu, only to see two more people rushing over quickly. The leader seemed to be a nun, followed by a girl.
Xin Zhen suddenly said, "Let's go."
Zhou Zhiruo looked at the table full of food and wine that had not been finished yet, and said reluctantly, "Are you leaving before you finish eating?"
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "If we don't go now, Ji Xiaofu will die."
Zhou Zhiruo was stunned: "Aren't we just going to ignore it?"
Xin Zhen placed a small ingot of silver on the table, then leaned on the windowsill and jumped down. Zhou Zhiruo sighed and quickly went down the stairs.
When Zhou Zhiruo arrived, she saw Xin Zhen standing not far from the crowd watching the excitement. Zhou Zhiruo quietly stood beside Xin Zhen and started eating melon too.
The nun seemed to be about 44 or 45 years old. Her appearance could be considered very beautiful, but her eyebrows drooped slantingly, making her face look very strange, almost like a hanged ghost on the stage.
Zhou Zhiruo felt a little scared after just two glances, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Xin, who is this person?"
Xin Zhen whispered, "Master Miejue."
Zhou Zhiruo was shocked. She had heard of this name. The people from the martial arts world who went to Butterfly Valley would sometimes chat with them about the things in the martial arts world. When talking about the masters of the time, the name of Nun Miejue was well-known.
All I heard was Nun Miejue saying, "Xiaofu, come here."
As she spoke, Nun Miejue walked to the riverside first, followed by Ding Minjun and the girl who followed the nun. Xin Zhen arrived first and knew that the girl was Bei Jinyi.
Ji Xiaofu followed immediately behind, and the little girl shouted, "Mom!" and wanted to follow Ji Xiaofu too.
Ji Xiaofu knew that her master had come down the mountain to clean up the mess. Although she had been loved by her master in the past, she was a stern person by nature and she didn't know how she would be punished. So she said to her daughter, "You play here and don't come with me."
She saw Xin Zhen and Zhou Zhiruo outside, and whispered in her daughter's ear, "If mommy doesn't come back, you just follow that little brother and little sister." The little girl was at a loss.
When the people from Kunlun Sect saw Master Miejue walking away, they hurried to Linhuai Pavilion. They all knew that Master Miejue had to deal with matters within the sect. If they saw anything, it would be difficult to face them, so it was better for them to leave quickly.
All of a sudden, all the disciples from various sects left, leaving only Xin Zhen, Zhou Zhiruo, and the little girl Yang Buhui.
Xin Zhen smiled, walked over, took Yang Buhui's hand and said, "I'll take you to find your mother."
Zhou Zhiruo pouted immediately behind her.
Xin Zhen held Yang Buhui's hand, followed by Zhou Zhiruo, and the three of them walked towards the river.
When Master Miejue saw someone coming, her drooping eyebrows immediately stood up.
Ding Minjun only noticed Xin Zhen at this time, and recognized that it was Xin Zhen and Zhou Zhiruo. She was surprised, and then overjoyed. She immediately said to Master Miejue: "Master, the one who came is Zhou Ziwang's son Zhou Yan. It was he who injured me last time and saved Monk Peng!"
Upon hearing this, Nun Miejue's face immediately turned cold. She looked at Xin Zhen and said, "Are you here to die, you Mingjiao devil?"
Xin Zhen smiled.
Xin Zhen had a very broad mind and was generally tolerant of things, people and objects, but he really disliked Master Miejue.
They claimed to be fighting against the Yuan and Mongolians, but in reality they showed no mercy to the true heroes who fought against the Yuan, such as the Mingjiao.
She herself was pure and innocent, but when it came to Ji Xiaofu and Zhou Zhiruo, she was willing to sacrifice their innocence and happiness to gain the benefits she wanted.
She is a cruel and ruthless person. She claims that the Emei Sect is chivalrous, but in fact, after killing Ji Xiaofu, she was unwilling to let go even a child like Yang Buhui.
Xin Zhen lived an upright life. When he first entered the Swordsman, he was reluctant to kill even Yu Canghai and Tian Boguang. After being in the martial arts world for a long time, his kindness was finally wiped out. However, he still had a bottom line, as there were some people he could kill and some he could not.
Right and wrong, family and country, these are still very clear in Xin Zhen's heart and they still carry great weight.
Therefore, Xin Zhen really had no good feelings towards people like Miejue, but in order to let Ji Xiaofu recognize Miejue's true face, otherwise it would be in vain to save her, and she would still rush forward to seek death, so he had to pretend to be nice to her.
Xin Zhen bowed to Nun Miejue and said respectfully, "Nun Miejue, is there any misunderstanding?
My name is Zhou Yan. Although my father Zhou Ziwang was a member of the Ming Cult, he was an undoubted hero who fought against the Yuan Dynasty.
I heard that everyone in Emei also regards resisting the Yuan Dynasty as their own responsibility. Everyone's ambition is to resist the Yuan Dynasty, so why should they hate each other? "
Miejue snorted coldly and said, "The Ming Cult is full of demons and monsters, doing all kinds of evil, and they will eventually die!"
Xin Zhen shook his head and said, "What six sects, what Mingjiao, in the end, we are all descendants of Yan and Huang. Facing the foreign enemies of the Mongols, we are all brothers and sisters. We should join hands to fight against the foreign enemies. What's the difference between good and evil? Don't you think so, Master Miejue?
Moreover, you said that all the members of the Ming Cult are evil monsters, but in fact, from what I have seen, that is not the case. Although many of the Ming Cult members I have met are quite arrogant, they are very caring towards the weak, do not submit to the strong, and do not commit rape or looting.
There are also people like me. Although my father was a member of the Ming Cult, I did not join the cult. I neither eat vegetables nor worship the Ming Zun, and I have never been hostile to the six major sects. There is no need for Master Nun to be so hostile to me.
A year ago, Ding Minjun and Ji Xiaofu from your faction besieged Mr. Peng, and I saved him without harming your two disciples. Nun Miejue should be able to sense my kindness, right?"
