His smile was like spring returning to the earth and the glacier melting. The boundless, pervasive killing intent suddenly disappeared without a trace. The pressure in the air, the thick feeling suddenly disappeared, as if it had just been a nightmare.
People immediately gasped in unison, sweating profusely. What's more, they are all wet, as if they were salvaged from the water.
"Everyone." Hu Tian spoke slowly.
As soon as he spoke, the surroundings suddenly became quiet again, even his breathing and panting were subconsciously slowed down to the lightest extent.
People didn't dare to look directly at Hu Tian, they only dared to secretly stare at the young man out of the corner of their eyes. All of them were terrified and thought: How many people did this newcomer kill? ! How much price did such a killing god pay for being imprisoned in this place by the Ten Thousand Beast Sect?
Hu Tian continued: "Those of you who practice the gentleman's sword, do you want to hide under the protection of women and survive? Could it be that this is the secret of the Junzi Sword? It takes more courage to live than to die. I stand here to assure you that your old patriarch is more qualified to lead you than at this moment."
He paused and continued again: "I am good at killing, never good at saving people. Saving Jin Lao was just a sudden interest. But it was not me who really saved this old man Jin Wenbo, but someone else."
The crowd below was exchanging glances with each other, and Jin Que stared at Hu Tian without blinking. Even Jin Wenbo was puzzled: it was obviously my benefactor who saved me twice. How can you say that there is someone else who saved me?
The corners of Hu Tian's mouth rose slightly, and he slowly spoke again: "That's right. The person who saved your old patriarch is not me. That person's name is - Jin, Wen, Bo."
There was an uproar below.
"Jin Wenbo, isn't he the old patriarch?"
"Is there something wrong with this young man's spirit?"
"Shh, shut up! You actually dare to scold him, you don't want to die?!"
……
Only the old man stood on the high platform, his eyes flashing, and he suddenly realized.
"Hehehe." Hu Tian smiled and continued, "Everyone heard it right, that person is indeed called Jin Wenbo. But he is not the old patriarch of the past. It's the old man standing here now, standing in front of you! This old man, he is not even afraid of death. Among the two choices of 'abandoning everything to die' and 'carrying everything to face', he bravely chose the latter!"
Hu Tian looked back at Jin Lao, nodded to him, and turned his head to face the crowd around him. The tone was extremely sincere: "On the way back, I witnessed his new life with my own eyes. No one has the ability to save him, only himself can really save him! This old man has completed his self-redemption! Compared to you, you are trying to disregard the thoughts of a girl and rely on your status as a relative to oppress others to save yourself. Be a hundred times braver! A hundred times more noble!"
It is deafening!
There was silence in the field. Elder Jin Hate trembled, looked at Hu Tian, and then looked at the crowd in the audience, his face pale like a seriously ill and dying person.
"Courage is more important than death!"
"No one can save you, only you can save yourself!"
For a while, Hu Tian's words were like an ancient bell in the twilight, which had a kind of enlightenment effect. In the eyes of many people, it is like a pile of dry firewood thrown into Mars. A flame burned more and more in it.
"Benefactor...... Jin Wenbo burst into tears at this moment. The golden bird in his arms also had wide eyes, looking at Hu Tian's back and biting his shell teeth.
"Everyone, please listen to me!" Jin Wenbo patted his granddaughter's petite spine, stood up, and bowed deeply. With tears in his eyes, he spoke, "The old man did have been confused and had thoughts of suicide and death. Life is so cruel, and tragedy made me helpless for a while. The pain made me miserable. But now I'm back here, standing here. I want to say - dying is not scary, what is terrible is not daring to resist the fate imposed on me, and I want to die timidly!"
"To be honest, I can't think of a way to overcome the predicament in front of me. But I don't think it matters. During the long-term oppression, our people struggled, but lost the courage and faith to fight. Why do you have to submit offerings to Huya Camp? We fear them because we fear death!"
"I am not here to regain the position of patriarch. But I want to tell you that death is not terrible. As a gentleman, you must have the dignity and courage to practice the gentleman's sword! I decided to fight against the Huya camp! It is better to break the jade than to be complete! Gentlemen, you are following me to regain the glory and courage of the gentleman's sword. Or cherish your life and go to please the Huya Camp. It's up to you!"
As soon as the words fell, Elder Jin Han on the side couldn't bear it anymore and shouted frantically on the other side of the sky: "Jin Wenbo, are you crazy?! If you go crazy yourself, do you want the whole family to come and bury you with you? What dignity and courage to talk about, it's really stupid and hopeless!"
"Keep the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood! Everyone, to be honest, I have already communicated well with the Huya Marshal of the Huya Camp. Follow me to join the marshal!" Life is precious! Only if you survive will everything be possible! Those who choose to die and stay stand on the right. Instead, choose to survive, choose the future, please stand on my side!"
The crowd below roared and hesitated for a while. More than a dozen elders shook their heads and sighed: Knowing that the entire Jin clan was divided, it was unstoppable.
The crowd stomped in place and hesitated for a long time. Finally, a confidant of Elder Jin Hate who was placed in the crowd took the lead to the left.
People are blindly obedient, not to mention that as long as there is hope of life, who would want to die?
It is human nature that most people have moved to the left. Only a small number of people remained, their eyes full of burning flames, each holding their heads high and striding to the right.
"Hmph! A group of reckless men, let's go!" Elder Jin Han glared at Jin Wenbo, but he didn't dare to look at Hu Tian. He immediately led the crowd, leaning on a bamboo cane, and left indignantly.
"Patriarch, they ......," an old man who stayed behind asked cautiously.
Jin Wenbo sighed deeply, waved his hand and said, "That's it. Just let them go. Elder Jin Yuan, please sort out the personnel and do a good job of statistics. I'll take my benefactor first and turn around."
Hu Tian smiled and waved his hand and said: "No need, Elder Jin. I can just wander around, and now people's hearts are calm, and I need you to comfort them. The importance of this kind of work should not be paralyzed."
"But, my benefactor......" Jin Wenbo hesitated.
The golden bird holding him suddenly raised his head at this time, jumped and shouted: "Grandpa, you are busy with you. Aren't there still birds? Let me entertain grandpa's savior!"
"In this case...... Jin Wenbo looked at Hu Tian.
Hu Tian nodded slightly and said, "It's okay."
"Then please benefactor later, and the old man will come." Jin Wenbo gave a deep salute and immediately led everyone present to the most spacious room.
Seeing everyone leave the venue one after another, in the square that was still full of people just now, there were only Hu Tian and Jin Que Er for a while.
"Benefactor, what's your name?" Jin Que'er tilted her head and suddenly asked. A pair of wonderful eyes, eyes flowing, looking at Hu Tian without blinking.
"My surname is En." Hu Tian looked at Jin Que and spoke.
"Huh? What a strange surname......" Jinque blinked.
"A single name is a word 'public'". Hu Tian said again.
Jin Que'er pouted and murmured: "The surname is 'En' and the name is 'Gong', Benefactor? Hah! Benefactor, you are so bad, you are playing tricks on others!" She reacted suddenly, stretched out her hands and grabbed Hu Tian's sleeves, swinging them back and forth. Coquettishly said: "Benefactor, you are so stingy, you will die if you tell others your name!"
She didn't know why she made such an intimate gesture. In short, everything came naturally, without any sense of inappropriateness.
From the moment Hu Tian appeared, the figure full of murderous intent and resolute broke into her heart. The mature temperament of the two generations made Jin Que'er subconsciously regard Hu Tian as a second only to his grandfather Jin Wenbo.
Even if Hu Tian was expressionless, she felt extremely close.
Hu Tian gently pulled out his cuffs, looked into the distance and said: "It's okay to tell you. But there is a price."
"What price?" Jinque'er subconsciously held her heart with both hands, her heart and liver like a deer.
