Chapter 116 Yesterday’s Story Is Different Today

The sudden sound is like muffled thunder in summer. It is so sudden that it can always startle people.

Fortunately, Chen Chao and Xie Nandu are not ordinary people, so they have no feelings about it. Chen Chao ignored the voice, just looked at Xie Nandu and smiled and said, "I remember that the scenery over there is better, do you want to go and see it together?" ?”

He chose to ignore it.

Xie Nandu glanced into the distance, nodded and said, "It's not a bad idea."

The two of them talked casually, which soon made the visitor even more annoyed. The man asked again in a deep voice, "Are you Chen Chao?" 🄲

Chen Chao still ignored him, as if he didn't hear these voices.

Xie Nandu also seemed very indifferent and was about to leave with Chen Chao.

The lakeside soon started to hear some deliberately suppressed discussions, but those sounds made people feel uncomfortable.

They were the students of the academy, and many of them were still hostile to Chen Chao.

Chen Chao frowned and said, "There are no cicadas today."

His words came somewhat suddenly.

Xie Nandu smiled and seemed very satisfied with what Cicada said.

Seeing that the two of them were still chatting to themselves, the visitor finally couldn't help it anymore and sarcastically said, "Before I came, I thought that the young monks from the Liang Dynasty didn't know etiquette. But after I came, I didn't expect that the people who didn't know etiquette had reached this point." With such a situation, isn't the academy a so-called place of sages? Now that I can see people like you coming in and out of it, it can't be called a sage."

After saying this, Chen Chao had no reaction, and the students by the lake frowned.

This person actually humiliated the academy along with them. They had some quarrels with them at the lakeside before. In fact, it was because of the arrogance of these people that many academy students were dissatisfied.

When I heard him say this again, there were a lot of noises by the lakeside.

"Sure enough, the top and bottom of Daliang are all barbaric and vulgar warriors."

The visitor sneered and continued to speak.

After listening to these words, the students at the lakeside fell silent, and their voices suddenly disappeared. This was not the first time that the words "vulgar martial artist" were mentioned by people at the lakeside. As early as the story of the previous debate at the lakeside, Chen Chao had He used the words "vulgar martial artist" to refute the academy so hard that he couldn't refute it. Who would have thought that in just a few months, such a thing would happen again at the lakeside of the academy.

Although the story begins with the same story, maybe it has a different outcome?

Many students sighed, thinking that the young man in black could pretend not to have heard those words before, but now that man mentioned it again with vulgar martial arts, how can you still pretend not to have heard it?

Sure enough, when Chen Chao heard these words, he subconsciously stopped and glanced not far away, looking at the guy who spoke for the first time.

There are several young monks dressed differently here, three men and two women. They all wear different clothes and have no similar aura. They definitely don't look like they came from the same school.

The young monk who spoke was thin and small, like a little monkey, but his facial features were fairly regular. He was wearing a snow-white dress, as if he wanted to appear chic, but he didn't have that aura.

When he spoke before, Chen Chao could hear a lot of provocation in his words, so he was unwilling to respond before, but he didn't expect that this person would still be so stubborn, and finally deliberately repeated the word "vulgar martial artist" by the lake. , obviously full of provocation.

In that lakeside debate, Chen Chao once said that monk Fang Wai could mention the words "vulgar martial artist", but no one in the Liang Dynasty's students, officials or people could mention these words. Now Fang Wai

The monks came and mentioned these four words. Everyone was watching how he would refute this foreign monk.

It's just that at this moment, many students by the lake are frowning. Some of them may not like Chen Chao, but most of them don't have a good impression of the foreign monks who broke into the academy.

Chen Chao looked at the thin young monk, was silent for a while, and asked, "What did you just say?"

Listening to these words, many people looked disappointed. They thought that Chen Chao's reaction would be fierce no matter what, but who would have thought that in the end, Chen Chao would be so gentle, which could even be called cowardly.

The thin young monk sneered, "I called you by the lake, and you pretended to be deaf and dumb. That's rude. Since you are rude, what's the problem if I call you barbaric and vulgar?"

This calling word is somewhat particular.

Chen Chao said oh but said nothing.

Without hesitation, he passed over this person and left.

Seeing Chen Chao like this, the students present were in a daze. Why was this different from what they imagined?

It was also at the lakeside before, and Chen Chao was not so easy to talk to about the same thing.

Could it be that the person in front of him is just like what was rumored in the academy before, that he is just a bully who is afraid of the strong? He is very enthusiastic about bullying the students in the academy, but loses his temper once he encounters a tough opponent?

But many people then thought about it. When he defeated He Yi, the genius on the Hidden Dragon List, at the royal banquet before, he never flinched, but why is he like this today?

For a time, many emotions arose by the lakeside, including doubts and confusion, disappointment and anger. Countless emotions arose alternately here at a time, which was very complicated.

"It turns out you are not only rude, but also a coward."

The short young monk laughed, his voice a little arrogant and full of unabashed sarcasm.

Chen Chao stopped, looked at the short monk, and asked, "May I ask your name?"

The short monk was startled, but he quickly and confidently said, "Tiehe Mountain Kongxiang!"

As outsider monks, they are naturally arrogant.

Hearing the words "Tiehe Mountain", the lakeside students had no reaction. Although this Fangwai sect is somewhat famous, it is far inferior to the first-class sects in the world. Although the academy is located in the mortal world, why? It is also a holy place in the lineage of Confucianism. Its status is as respected as that of Chixinguan Luming Temple. There is no need to envy Tiehe Mountain.

"I wonder where you were born before you started practicing?"

Chen Chao patiently spoke with a smile, as if he really wanted to know the answer.

"I have stepped onto the great road, and I have naturally let go of everything in this world. Everything in this world is not worth caring about." Kong Xiang spoke calmly, without any emotion in his eyes.

Chen Chao thought thoughtfully and said, "According to your wishes, when you start to practice, your parents can be given up, and the kindness of raising you can also be ignored, right?"

Kong Xiang said calmly, "Of course."

Chen Chao said oh, and continued, "Since the kindness of raising you is not important, then it is not a big deal for the teacher to teach you, pass on your Taoism, and lead you to practice. One day, you should give up and just give it up?"

His question was very common, but everyone by the lake was thinking deeply about it.

Parents’ nurturing grace and teachers

In fact, both of them are extremely important. If Kong Xiang said that the former is not worth caring about, what about the latter?

Kong Xiang's face turned a little ugly, and he couldn't give an answer.

Whether he admits or refutes it now, Chen Chao will still have something to refute him.

"I don't want to have any more trouble with you on this matter!"

Kong Xiang stared at Chen Chao and said, "I came to the academy to see what the guy who made such nonsense at the imperial banquet looks like!"

Chen Chao did say something at the imperial banquet back then, which probably meant that the monks who lost to the Liang Dynasty were embarrassed, so I want you all to be embarrassed. 🄲

"Now that you've seen it, what do you think?"

Chen Chao looked at him with a smile on his face.

"I originally thought that the person who could defeat He Yi could be said to be a young genius, but I didn't expect that he was just a guy with a sharp mouth."

There was a strong sense of sarcasm on Kong Xiang's face.

Chen Chao looked at the short monk in front of him and laughed.

"Did you come to the academy just to mock me? If so, what's the difference between you and me?"

"You and I are naturally different. I came to the academy just to fight you!"

Kong Xiang stared at Chen Chao in front of him, all his anger released at this moment.

No matter how much you talk about it, it is actually not as good as having a battle, distinguishing the superior and the inferior, and everything will come to an end.

Chen Chao looked at Kong Xiang and said thoughtfully, "I've heard of Tiehe Mountain, but I really haven't heard of your name. Don't worry, wait until I go back and look through the Qianlong List to see if your name is on it." name."

Hearing the words "Qian Long Bang", some laughter suddenly broke out by the lakeside. Some students suddenly realized it and couldn't help but laugh.

Kong Xiang's face suddenly became extremely ugly. This monk from Tiehe Mountain was not stupid, and he understood what the other party meant in an instant.

He has been practicing hard for many years, and what he has always hoped for is that one day he can be on the Hidden Dragon List and become a world-renowned genius. However, no matter how hard he has practiced over the years, he has never been able to get on that list, so he has always had a problem in his heart. It was a deadlock. Now that Chen Chao mentioned this matter, it was undoubtedly a stab in his heart.

The three words "Qian Long Bang" deeply hurt him.

Moreover, Chen Chao’s words were very meaningful.

He once fought with He Yi and won. He Yi was a genius on the Hidden Dragon Ranking and he was able to defeat him, but he couldn't be said to be afraid. Now, as a monk who has not been on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, how could he be afraid?

Since he is not afraid and still chooses to behave like this, he can only look down upon him.

Kong Xiang's face naturally became more and more ugly when he thought about such things.

He came to the academy because Chen Chao defeated He Yi at the imperial banquet. He was extremely angry about this. But the initial anger was not due to Chen Chao, but to He Yi. He could not accept it. Qianlong Bang He Yi, who was on the throne, was defeated by Chen Chao, an ordinary warrior.

For Kong Xiang, the Qianlong List is an unattainable dream in his life, and he also regards the geniuses on the Qianlong List as the objects of his lifelong pursuit.

He would never allow such a person to be defeated by a vulgar warrior like Chen Chao.

"Chen Chao, I want to fight you!"

Kong Xiang was extremely angry. He was so arrogant before, but now he was so embarrassed.

This turn of events happened very quickly, barely giving too many people time to react. Now there are still

Many people feel confused and don't know what happened before.

And the students who understood the things inside looked at Chen Chao with a hint of separation.

In fact, the previous debate on the bank of South Lake proved one thing, that is, this young guardian who came from a small place was not at all an honest boy who only knew how to kill monsters.

He has a careful mind, a calm personality, and plans and moves...

He's a smart guy in the true sense of the word.

Chen Chao glanced at Kong Xiang and gave an answer that was both reasonable and unexpected. He shook his head and said, "I refuse."

Kong Xiang said angrily, "Are you afraid?"

Chen Chao did not answer this question, but asked, "How do you compare to He Yi?"

He was very calm, showing no emotion, as if he was asking about something trivial.

But when this question was asked, people actually already knew the final answer, and Kong Xiang had no answer to reply to.

If he said he was stronger than He Yi, Chen Chao would definitely ask him why he didn't see him on the Hidden Dragon List. If he answered that he was not as good as He Yi, Chen Chao would ask since He Yi was defeated, what qualifications do you have to fight me?

Kong Xiang's face was very ugly, but he couldn't say a word at this moment.

At this moment, it was the same question that Chen Chao asked before.

The grace of raising and teaching.

Kong Xiang couldn't answer at that time, and he couldn't answer it if he asked again now.

Another unanswerable question, and another situation that made Kong Xiang embarrassed and at a loss.

The black-clothed young man in front of him had no emotions from beginning to end.

Just when everyone thought that the matter was going to end, Chen Chao stared at Kong Xiang and sneered, "If I fight you and win, people will say that I bullied you, a person who is not even on the Hidden Dragon List. There is no point. In this case, why should I fight you?"

"You want to fight me, all right, when you are on the Hidden Dragon List, come to me again!"

The last two sentences just hit Kong Xiang's sore spot. The three words "Hidden Dragon List" are too important to him.

It is invincible to hurt him in this way.

Chen Chao had already seen his weakness, and when he spoke at this moment, he naturally kept the three words "Hidden Dragon List" in every sentence.

Kong Xiang was a little absent-minded and extremely angry.

Chen Chao looked at Kong Xiang, whose face was ashen, and was in a good mood. A few days ago, he could make that woman vomit blood in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, and he could make all the students speechless at the lakeside. How could he not have any way to deal with Kong Xiang in front of him?

The previous show of weakness was just a trick.

Kong Xiang stood there, unable to say anything. He was also very confused at this moment. He didn't know what to say at all.

"What's the matter with defeating He Yi? It was just some tricks. If you really have the ability, why would you avoid fighting? In the final analysis, it's just fear of failure and losing face. It's a pity that this Liang Dynasty is full of people like you. How can it be prosperous?"

Just as Kong Xiang stood there, a voice sounded again.

Chen Chao looked up and saw that it was one of the two women who came with Kong Xiang but remained silent.

She was wearing a light yellow dress and had a slender figure. At this moment, her two thin eyebrows were raised and her face was indifferent.

It was she who was talking.
