This was a man's voice,
It was very unfamiliar. Even though Xie Lian knew that the other side couldn't hear it,
He still couldn't help but lower his voice and say, "Someone is coming. I don't know if they will harm General Pei. We have to quickly find out where they are now. "
The two people on the other side seemed to be intimidated by the person who came. After a while, Pei Ming said, "May I ask who you are? Since we've come to this point,
Why don't you show your true face? "
The voice said, "Then I'll have to ask you."
Ling Wen said, "He must have a grudge against you.
He's most likely a female ghost. He's been harmed by you again. "
Pei Ming said, "You're the one who's lying through your teeth. This … Which part of this thing looked like a female ghost from head to toe? Besides, he didn't just capture me.
Maybe he has a grudge against you? "
Ling Wen said, "Forget it, let's not push the blame to each other at this time.
Let's get through this together. It's also possible that he has a grudge against both of us at the same time. Do you remember any such people? "
Pei Ming said, "I can't remember. There are too many. "
The man seemed to have walked closer.
His voice was a little louder, but strangely,
He didn't hear the sound of footsteps.
Instead, he heard a strange "dong dong" sound. He said, "Can you guys have some face and stop flirting in front of me?"
It seemed that the wording and tone of this sentence had exposed something.
After a moment of silence, Ling Wen said, "You are … Jingwen Zhenjun?"
The voice didn't answer. Pei Ming also seemed to be stunned.
She said, "Jingwen Zhenjun? That's not right, would Jingwen Zhenjun speak so uncultured? "
Ling Wen snorted and said, "He's always been like this. In front of others, he has a tone.
In front of me, he has a different tone.
Of course you don't think so. "
On this side, Xie Lian frowned slightly and said, "Jingwen Zhenjun?"
This title …
He seemed to have some impression of it, but he couldn't be sure. It sounded like a Wen Shen, but among the Wen Shen, there were too many who had the words "Wen", "Jing", and "Jing" in their titles. At this time, Pei Su said in a low voice, "Jingwen Zhenjun, it's Ling Ling. Wen Zhenjun pointed it up. The first generation, the Wen Shen!"
When he said that, Xie Lian finally remembered. When he ascended for the first time, Ling Wen had only been a minor civil official of the Heavenly Court. At the time, the number one Rune God of the Heavenly Court was not her, but another Rune God. And that Wen Shen seemed to be Perfected Lord Jingwen!
However, Jing Wen Shen had long since declined, and one could not find a Jing Wen Hall within eight hundred miles. Xie Lian couldn't help but say, "So everyone here is acquainted. Then why couldn't they just talk nicely? Why must you use weapons and tie me up? "
However, Hua Cheng said, "It's precisely because he's an acquaintance that we had to use knives and guns to tie him up."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jing Wen spoke again. It seemed that because his identity had been exposed, he had to put on airs. He changed his expression and his words were much more refined than before. However, there was a needle hidden in cotton wool as he said, "Nangong, aren't you very proud of being the number one Rune God of the Heavenly Court? Why did you ruin your golden rice bowl and come here? "
Pei Ming said, "See that? He has a grudge against you. This time, it's all because of you. "
However, Jing Wen said, "General Pei, don't think that you can escape just because I'm going to settle the score with Nangong. This slut bullied my Jing Wen Hall's incense offerings and secretly sent people to smash my temple to add firewood to the fire. Do you think I don't know who lent her those Martial God officials? "
"…"
Jing Wen continued, "Nangong, don't laugh. To think that I had chosen you as a general out of appreciation for talent, and this is how you repay me. You really are ungrateful and disloyal. A woman's heart is the most poisonous. I've waited for this day for far too long! "
Xie Lian covered his forehead and thought, 'The three malignant tumors are indeed malignant tumors. What they do is more and more unkind than the last!'
Unexpectedly, Ling Wen said indifferently, "Perfected Lord Jingwen, there's no one else here. You've already scolded me just now, so why are you putting on an act now? Did you really choose me as a general because you cherished talent? Why did you choose me, and how did you treat me after choosing me? Others might not know, but don't you know it in your heart? "
The more Xie Lian listened, the more curious he became. "What's going on with Perfected Lord Jingwen and Ling Wen? Little General Pei, do you know about the inner workings? "
Pei Su also listened seriously and said to him, "Apologise. That, at that time, I had yet to ascend, so I didn't know much. "
Xie Lian thought that his apology probably wouldn't be good. At the side, Hua Cheng said, "Gege, there's no need to ask others, just ask me."
Xie Lian asked curiously, "San Lang, you also know about this kind of old anecdote from the Heavenly Court?"
It turned out that it wasn't his misconception. Hua Cheng really did have a hand in dealing with the black and white histories of the Heavenly Court's Heavenly Officials. He nodded and told Xie Lian as expected.
It turned out that Jing Wen and Ling Wen were both Literary Gods from Xu Li Country. Jing Wen was several hundred years older than Ling Wen and had a deep foundation in Xu Li Country. Originally, these two didn't have much interaction.
But one year, Xu Li Country worshiped the Literary Gods. During the worshiping process, there was a small competition. A young scholar used Xu Li Country as the topic. There was no limit to the topic. He wrote an essay without signing his name and posted it in the country's largest Literary Temple. At that time, it was called Jing Wen Palace. The best piece would be chosen as the champion, and that person would be rewarded.
At that time, it just so happened that Jing Wen Zhenjun descended to the mortal world to play. On a whim, he transformed into a scholar and participated in this competition. He wrote a magnificent essay that praised the prestige of Xu Li Country. He was confident that he would be able to stand out among the many essays. Imagine, if the results were revealed after the competition and the essay won first place, then the truth was revealed. Wouldn't Jing Wen Zhenjun's own avatar be passed down to future generations?
If things developed this way, then it would have been a very harmonious and happy ending. Who knew that a very awkward accident would occur.
After the worshiping ceremony ended, the champion was revealed. The winner wasn't Jing Wen's "Xu Li Fu", but a treatise called "Needless Li".
Although this turn of events was awkward, it was still quite interesting to bystanders. Xie Lian asked, "Has San Lang seen "Needless Li"?"
Hua Cheng said, "I've found it. If big brother wants to read it, I'll give you a rough idea another day. "
Xie Lian hurriedly said, "That won't be necessary. However, to be able to defeat Jing Wen Zhenjun who had already ascended at that time, it must have been written very well. "
Hua Cheng evaluated, "It's written well, but it's not very godly. It's just that at that time, the situation in Xu Li Country wasn't good and there were a lot of resentment among the citizens. Seeing this kind of essay, it just so happened to suit their tastes. In addition, the "Xu Li Fu" was a disaster and people were already tired of reading it. Comparing the two, "Needless Li" naturally won. "
Xie Lian slightly nodded his head and said, "There's no first place in literature. This matter isn't that big of a deal, not to mention that the essay didn't even write the same thing. "
Hua Cheng said, "That's right. In the beginning, Jing Wen also thought the same. "
The citizens of Xu Li Country searched everywhere for the author of "Needless Li", but of course, no one claimed it. Who would dare to claim this kind of thing? If someone was greedy and faked it, it would be very easy for them to be exposed. Not long after, because it was noticed by the officers and soldiers, the worshiping ceremony removed the champion essay.
Regarding this competition, although Jing Wen Zhenjun wasn't very happy and scoffed at it, after a few months, he also forgot about it. The bad thing was that after a few months, an astonishing piece of news spread among the literary gods of the Heavenly Court — —
The person who had won the first place with "Needless Li" in the Xu Li Country's literary god ceremony had finally been found. Now, he had already been arrested and locked up in prison. And this person was actually a young woman who sold shoes on the side of the street!
How could this be!
Xie Lian said, "… … Sell, sell shoes."
Hua Cheng said, "Yes. Nangong Jie used to do this in the human world. "
No wonder he had heard people privately call Ling Wen Palace Hall 'Broken Shoes Palace Hall' more than once or twice. However, Xie Lian didn't think he should get to the bottom of this kind of thing, so he never knew where it came from.
Originally, no one would have associated "Needless Lilly" with a shoe-selling girl. However, that young woman would occasionally help people copy letters and write love poems for them to earn some writing fees. One day, a customer found that her handwriting was very similar to the one on the top of the list and reported it to the authorities. That was how she was caught.
After learning of this matter, Jing Wen Zhenjun waved his brush and immediately selected this young woman called Nangong Jie.
It must be known that at that time, there were very few female priests. It wasn't that there weren't any, but most of them were in charge of flowers and plants, embroidery, singing and dancing, and so on. Even if they were to select a general, no one was willing to select a woman to be a low-level priest. Female literary gods were even rarer. The women in the Divine Hall of Literature were all beautiful young women. Moreover, they weren't in charge of writing. Most of them were soft jade and warm fragrant. They couldn't be considered as priests, and at most, could only be regarded as playthings.
Jing Wen Zhenjun's actions won a good reputation among the literary gods for cherishing talent. Everyone said that this young woman's luck was really too good. She met a noble person like Jing Wen Zhenjun, who had a discerning eye and recognized talent. Not only did she escape the calamity of prison, but she also climbed up a branch and became a phoenix.
However, at this moment, the protagonists of this "story" were aggressively confronting each other.
On the other side, Jing Wen said, "I value you greatly, but when it comes to your mouth, it instead becomes that you have bad intentions."
Ling Wen had always treated people politely, neither servile nor overbearing. At this time, she said mockingly, "Forget it. You also don't go around all day telling others how much you value me. If you really thought highly of me, you wouldn't have asked me to serve tea and water to everyone in your hall every day for dozens of years. You wouldn't have asked me to walk hundreds of miles to pick up a manuscript of a poem, and you wouldn't have asked me to give gifts to other Heavenly Officials during festivals. "
Xie Lian thought about it. It seemed to be true. When he first ascended, every time he saw Ling Wen, she was always doing odd jobs. It was because she did so many odd jobs that Xie Lian vaguely remembered there was such a person. Jing Wen said, "In the end, you are simply blaming me for not being willing to promote you. But why don't you think about why I don't promote you? "
Ling Wen said, "Why? I also want to know why. Originally, as a mortal, I still had the free time to read and write. Even when I was locked up in prison, I could at least face the wall and meditate. But after I was appointed, there wasn't a moment when I wasn't working like an ox or horse for you, kneeling and doing odd jobs for you. If you want to torture me to death like this, your method isn't bad. "
Jing Wen shouted, "Nangong! Even now, you still refuse to admit your mistake! "
Ling Wen retorted, "What did I do wrong?"
Jing Wen said, "Then is it still my fault? What I told you to do, was what was most suitable for you to do. If you can't even do such a small thing, what right do you have to do more important things? I gave you so many opportunities to cultivate in order to temper your temperament. It was your own lack of ability, how can you blame me for not being willing to promote you? Your aspirations are too high, but you are a woman after all. You can't reach that high. You have to admit this fact! "
Ling Wen laughed, seeming to be angered by him. Lowering her voice, she said, "Good! You say I can't reach that high. Then, let me ask you, during your most flourishing period, can your Jing Wen Palace Hall reach my Ling Wen Palace Hall's knees?! "
Xie Lian could smell the old resentment and anger in the words of both sides. He thought to himself that he couldn't let them continue talking. As a last resort, he used an extremely crude method.
He fiercely punched the ground. Accompanied by an earth-shattering sound, the ground split open with him as the epicenter, forming a four zhang wide crater!
Hua Cheng immediately understood what he wanted to do and said, "Gege!"
Xie Lian waved his hand to disperse the dust in the air. Coughing a few times, he said, "This is the most direct way! I'll be in charge of testing this side! San Lang, you and Little General Pei … … lie on the side! "
He originally wanted to arrange for Hua Cheng and Pei Su to test in other directions, but right now, these two people's conditions weren't as good as his. Naturally, Hua Cheng wouldn't listen to him and obediently lie on the side. Choosing the opposite direction from Xie Lian, he summoned his Misfortune and stabbed it into the ground.
This stab had the same effect as Xie Lian's punch. The two of them alternated creating loud noises one after the other as the distance between them grew larger and larger. After punching a few times, Xie Lian attentively listened. Pei Ming and Ling Wen didn't have any reaction, as if they hadn't heard the loud rumbling noises he created. As for Jing Wen, it seemed that Ling Wen had poked his sore spot. He was so angry that he started laughing. With one move, he tore off his originally refined mask and changed back to the sharp tone he used when cursing the adulterous couple. He said, "Nangong Jie, stop acting cocky in front of me! Back then, if I hadn't pointed you out, I'm afraid you would have already given birth to god knows how many children in the human world's prison! "
These words were a bit lacking in elegance, causing Xie Lian's hand to almost slip. Even Pei Ming couldn't stand listening anymore. He said, "In any case, you're a Wen Shen. Can your mouth not be so vulgar?"
Jing Wen said, "Nangong, look, your good Bi Tou is protecting you! What kind of reputation do you have, General Pei? How could you have the nerve to say that I'm vulgar? "
Ling Wen said, "In your mind, who isn't my Bi Tou? Do you want to settle accounts? Then let's settle them properly! "
Xie Lian had already leaped quite a distance away. Once again, he punched the ground. This time, Jing Wen, who was on the Silver Butterfly's side, said in alarm, "What's that sound?!"
Xie Lian was delighted. He had found the right direction!
Pei Ming and Ling Wen also heard it. Pei Ming hesitated and asked, "Who's fighting up there?"
Continuing his attack, Xie Lian sprinted several feet forward and threw another thunderous punch. Pei Ming said, "Even closer! What a strong explosive force! It's coming from above! "
It's here!
Xie Lian didn't punch anymore. He pulled out his Maiden Heart and slashed down —
The sword qi flourished, and the ground suddenly collapsed. Immediately after, he fell into a cold hole in the ground. Xie Lian prayed in his heart that he didn't hit Pei Ming and Ling Wen. He waved the dust in the air, stood up, and turned around with his sword in hand. He said, "To …"
