Li Yijie said, "That's not it. First, I won't force you to go back on your word. You made the agreement, so it's up to you to decide whether you want to keep it or not. Second, I know you're as straightforward as me. If you don't want to do it, no matter how much other people try to persuade you, they won't be able to persuade you. Third, it's the most fundamental desire to explore. As a martial artist, everyone wants to reach a higher level. When they see a powerful formation, they will want to try it first. If they don't succeed, they will try to find a way to solve it. I believe Senior can understand this kind of thirst for knowledge. It's like … "
Thinking of what Shen Shiyun had said about Manor Head Xia's preference, he went along with the flow and said, "It's just like a scholar who is faced with a complicated geometry problem. If it's difficult to solve according to conventional thinking, he will definitely try to solve it through various channels. If someone can give him a pointer or two at this time, his mood will be incomparably satisfied. Moreover, the problem is based on classics, but it's being tested by a child who doesn't know anything about it. Don't you want to solve it as soon as possible so that you can compete with him? "
Manor Head Xia's favorite hobby was to find a few practice problems to solve. He found endless pleasure in the step-by-step reasoning. He asked curiously, "How do you know I …"
Thinking that since he wanted to catch a big fish like himself, he must first investigate clearly before spreading his feed, he swallowed his doubts and said, "No, the kind of person you're talking about can't be considered a true scholar. The child is just a primer. Whether he's dead or alive, whether he's smart or stupid, it has nothing to do with the problem itself. The process of solving the problem is not to show off in front of others. It's interesting to study it by oneself. He can think about it all the time, all the time, all the time. If he can't solve it in a day, he can think about it for a month. If he can't solve it in a month, he can think about it for a year. Even if someone puts the complete solution in front of him, he won't take a second look. But you — you want to retreat after encountering a little setback. Where's your desire to learn? "
Li Yijie said, "In this way, no doubt he has great perseverance, but a good amount of time will be wasted in vain. In that one year, he could have studied thousands upon thousands of exercises. What's more, perhaps he couldn't figure it out no matter how much he thought about it. Because there was a problem with the most fundamental train of thought, if he gave someone some guidance, wouldn't that person be enlightened and be enlightened? One had to pay attention to methods in order to achieve twice the results with half the effort. If you blindly read books and practice deadly moves, won't you be unable to withstand a single blow when you encounter an enemy with a myriad of changes? "
Manor Master Xia snorted and said, "Quality is more important than quantity. You're just an illiterate brat, how dare you talk to me about knowledge? Just a moment ago, you said that you wouldn't ask me for help. Hmph, I knew that you would use the favor of saving my life as an excuse to make unreasonable requests. Fortunately, I had the foresight to return the favor a step earlier. Now, I don't owe you anything. We are strangers who have nothing to do with each other. If you beg me, I can refuse. You don't even have to frown. "
Li Yijie said, "What are you talking about? Even if it's a real stranger who has a favor to ask, can you refuse it with a clear conscience? " Seeing that Manor Master Xia was still determined, he suddenly had an idea and said, "Fine, you only talk about business, right? Do you think that repaying the favor is over? It's far from enough. Just now, not only did you not help, you also almost ruined my plan. I'm magnanimous and reluctantly call it even. But a month ago, at the mouth of the volcano, the Seven Demons used you as a shield. Who was it that bravely rushed forward and saved your life? This favor is here, and you want to turn a blind eye to it and openly refuse your savior? How can your conscience be at ease if you act like this? "
Manor Master Xia was angered to the point that he had nothing to say. It wasn't false. It was because Li Yijie had saved his life that he was hesitant about his position. He wanted to get out of this awkward situation as soon as possible. Seeing that the opportunity had come knocking on his door, he pretended to be magnanimous and waved his hand, saying, "Fine, it's better to repay the favor as soon as possible. I don't want you to have something against me and ask for more strange conditions in the future. Alas, this is my Xia family's ancestral secret. I can't let it out. This really makes my conscience uneasy … "
After waiting for a while, Li Yijie's conscience didn't show any signs of 'uneasiness'. At this point, he had no choice but to continue, saying, "There's nothing strange about this formation. But it's not easy for outsiders to understand … "
Just as he was about to speak, a gloomy voice sounded from behind him, "No matter what time it is, the two of you are always in such a leisurely mood. You're actually chatting while you're fleeing for your lives. I admire your detachment from life and death." Manor Master Xia was startled. The two of them turned around at the same time. Li Yijie blurted out, "Why are you always haunting me? No … you're fast enough, aren't you? "
As Jiang Liechen talked about this matter, he was quite proud of himself. He said, "That kind of low-level technique can temporarily deceive mortals, but it won't work on me." As he spoke, his eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty red light. It was as if he wanted to kill the two of them right away.
Li Yijie sighed and deliberately looked him up and down. He said, "Your eyes are not bad. Why don't we switch? "Jiang Liechen said," That's not impossible. After you die, I'll absorb your spiritual energy. The two of us will become one and there won't be any difference. "
Li Yijie put his hand on the hilt of his sword and said, "You're wrong if you think I'll just wait for death. But what happened to the monks in the temple just now? "He secretly prayed. He was too busy chasing after him to pay attention. Fortunately, he had just arrived at the Shaolin Temple and was about to burn a stick of incense. Sure enough, Jiang Liechen said, "Who has the patience to pay attention to those ants?" Li Yijie heaved a sigh of relief, as if a huge rock had been lifted from his heart.
Jiang Liechen saw his benevolent and righteous attitude and felt disdain in his heart. He humphed coldly and said, "Don't be so happy too early. If I want to kill them, it'll be as easy as blowing off dust. " Li Yijie said, "Since it's as easy as blowing off dust, it's better not to waste any effort. Won't that save you the trouble?" At the same time, he was thinking about how he could get out of this awkward situation without being a burden to Manor Master Xia.
Jiang Liechen was unmoved. He said, "Are you done saying your last words? If you were with Nangong Xue, perhaps I would be afraid. But now that you're alone, you won't be able to use your 'seducing' technique, will you? Right now, you're just waiting to be slaughtered by me. " Li Yijie's heart was shaken. He said, "So the reason you want to kill Xueer is not because of that absurd reason, but because you want to guard against our 'seducing' technique?"
This time Jiang Liechen frankly admitted, "That's one of the reasons. Anything that threatens me shouldn't exist. Speaking of which, this matter has a long history. After I became the Hierarch, I flipped through the books and records of the Cult. I already knew about Meng Anying and … Madame's' Two Swords Combine 'technique. The Hierarch's technique can indeed restrain my Cult's martial art. Besides, for the sake of my fallen brother, I wanted Nangong Xue to be buried with him. So naturally I want to kill her even more. That woman must die. "
Li Yijie was furious, but he was unexpectedly quick-witted. He secretly thought, "If I fight him now, even if I want to be arrogant, I know I have no chance of winning … Since the border is in chaos, I might as well use him to solve this urgent problem for His Majesty first." Thereupon he put on the indifferent expression from before. He waved his hand and said with a laugh, "Why are you pulling a long face? You care about An Yesun. For better or for worse, the two of us were brothers for a period of time. A night as husband and wife means a hundred days of grace; a day as brothers means a lot of grace. Let's make a deal … "
Jiang Liechen was used to Li Yijie's stubbornness and unwillingness to back down. Hearing him suddenly speak softly, he was surprised. He laughed coldly and said, "What? You finally know how to be afraid? Too bad it's too late. I've already become a demon. I won't be moved by anyone's pleas. You're lucky enough to witness my rebirth. How come you still don't understand this? "
Li Yijie said, "You also know how to say we're 'lucky'. Dare I ask what kind of 'lucky' we are? We saw your rebirth. In return, you unexpectedly want to kill us. Doesn't that mean your rebirth is an ominous thing? Those who see you will die. That's the most vicious curse. Perhaps it's the root cause of the plague. That's why it's called that. Those who don't comply with reason will be punished by the Heaven! "
Jiang Liechen listened to his words. He thought that watching him struggle in every way was far more satisfying than killing him with a knife. He said, "That makes sense. What do you want to do then? "
Li Yijie said, "I've heard three legends. They're pretty much the same, with only minor differences. The first person obtained a magical lamp. As long as he rubbed it, a genie would appear to fulfill his wish. The second person traveled a long distance in the desert. He picked up a porcelain bottle. As soon as he pulled out the cork, a burst of black smoke rose from the bottle and turned into a demon. In return, the demon would fulfill his wish. The third person was a fisherman. He fished for many years, but he never caught anything. One day, just as he was about to cast his last net to try his luck, he unexpectedly fished up a clay urn. A demon also appeared inside the urn. In comparison, the demon was much more heartless. He said that he originally wanted to fulfill his benefactor's wish, but the fisherman released him a few hundred years later. As a result, he was sealed in the clay urn and suffered for a few hundred years. In order to take revenge on the fisherman, he wanted to kill him. But a few hundred years ago, the fisherman was not even born yet. How could he release him? I think from the very beginning, the demon was not sincere in repaying his benefactor. In the end, the fisherman used a little trick to seal the demon back into the clay urn and sink him into the deep sea. These legends prove that the demon who grants every request will be rewarded, but the demon who goes against a good person will have a very miserable end … "
Li Yijie's mouth was dry from talking. Jiang Liechen's face became more and more gloomy. He said, "So?" The ferocious look in his eyes was as if he wanted to swallow Li Yijie alive. Even Manor Master Xia was frightened.
Li Yijie looked into his eyes without the slightest fear. He said, "I have no interest in signing a contract with the demon. As for the third story, sooner or later we will have a big fight, so there is no hurry. So I will settle for the second best. Please agree to my three requests. Consider it as the reward for witnessing your rebirth ceremony. How about it? You can't be so stingy. Or do you think that your rebirth is not worth these three requests? "
Jiang Liechen was so angry that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said angrily, "What the hell! What do you think I am? "Li Yijie said," Of course I am a demon who grants every request. But right now I am alive and well. I have only seen Manor Master Xia alive, and you are the only one left. Aren't you … forcing me to push you into a pit of fire? As a brother, how can I bear to do this? "
Jiang Liechen was silent for a long time. He suppressed his anger and said, "I was muddle-headed. Why would I bother with a person who is about to die? You can continue to spout nonsense. "
Li Yijie said, "Okay, then I will take it that you agree. First, I want you to release Manor Master Xia and never trouble him again. "Manor Master Xia was startled. He pulled Li Yijie's sleeve. Li Yijie knew that Manor Master Xia's personality of "not asking for help for anything" was acting up again. He smiled knowingly. Jiang Liechen snorted coldly and said, "This trash is almost dead. Do as you wish. "
