Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 662 We have no experience either

So vulgar that even the Blood Vine Demon King trembled! How could this bastard utter such filthy curses?!

And why are you cursing at me?
Turtle Big, pretending to continue speaking on behalf of the king, continued to provoke: "Listen up, you pig-woman, you overestimate yourself, you don't know the will of heaven, you don't know what's good for you, if you dare to take another step forward, today I will make sure your blood stains Dongting Lake and your body sinks into the Xiang River!"

He only understood half of what was being said, so the Dragon King was so angry that his whiskers stood on end. He roared, "Blood Vine, you weed in the mud!" With a furious roar, he unleashed a hundred-foot-long raging torrent!
Upon seeing this, Turtle turned and fled, shouting as he ran, "Your Majesty, save me! This scoundrel who's been selling his head for money has gone berserk!"

next moment--

"boom!!!"

Countless thorny vines burst forth from the water, and the Blood Vine Demon King roared, "If you back down even a little today, I'll tear my own roots out and dry them into firewood!!!"

The battle lasted for seven days.

The Zi River was stained dark red, and countless cliffs on both banks collapsed. The alligator dragon's tail was severed, the blood vines were broken, and more than half of the demons who participated in the battle were killed or wounded.

In the end, the Bloodvine Demon King won a pyrrhic victory.

The tail firebox was saved, but the Zijiang River lineage suffered a severe blow.

"Get back here... and reflect on your actions..."

The Blood Vine Demon King, barely clinging to the reef, still managed to use its last bit of strength to confine Turtle to its place.

We really can't come back again. Even the second most powerful demon in Dongting Lake couldn't withstand another one.

Gui Da sighed, thinking that it was hard to find a demon king who was both useful and brainless.

He pulled out a butterfly and started sending messages, preparing for something big.

Xu Xuan stood atop Nanshan Mountain, gently waving his folding fan.

He was also somewhat surprised. It was one thing for the Demon King to be brainless, but Yun Zhongjun shouldn't be like this.

In the distance above Dongting Lake, six beams of light, like the Big Dipper, hung in the sky. The last wisp of light from the Fang Ri Box was already faintly visible in the direction of Junshan Mountain.

"The time is coming."

His gaze was deep, and his sleeves fluttered even without wind. The Shengxie sword at his waist emitted a clear, melodious sound, as if it were yearning for the impending battle.

The Dragon Palace of Dongting Lake, the Lord of the Clouds, the mystery of the Seven Boxes...

The three-year-long dungeon run will eventually come to an end.

Fortunately, the teaching work this year was simple, and I didn't need to keep an eye on things for almost half a year.

Otherwise, this fake would have to be taken away.

However, a sudden little trouble disrupted his preparations.

"Master Xu! Master Xu!"

A sharp shout interrupted his thoughts.

Xu Xuan turned around and saw Liang Shanbo running up the mountain, panting heavily. His green robe fluttered in the mountain wind, and his face showed a resolute expression.

"Liang Shanbo? What's the matter that you're in such a hurry?"

Liang Shanbo took a deep breath, solemnly cupped his hands, and said, "Master Xu, I want to become a monk!"

"..."

Xu Xuan was silent for a moment, then snapped his folding fan shut.

"What did you say?"

With a resolute expression, Liang Shanbo repeated, "I want to renounce worldly life and become a monk!"

At that moment, someone seemed to see the reproachful looks from the academy professors: "We never intended to open a branch temple in Nanshan!"

If another promising student were to be introduced into the Buddhist order, Lady Yin might expel herself from Chongqi.

After staring at Liang Shanbo for a long time to make sure he wasn't joking, he slowly asked, "Why?"

Liang Shanbo gave a bitter smile and said, "I need a way to sever this emotional ties."

"Love's threads?"

"I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me, Zhu Yingtai."

These are indeed difficult words to utter, as they would hardly be accepted even by later generations.

Xu Xuan raised an eyebrow, understanding dawning on his mind.

He already knew about this; it was all Changmei's fault. The relationship had almost been sorted out, but on that day, when the two were dealing with the Five Poisons' attack near Leifeng Pagoda, Zhu Yingtai once again overlapped with the image of the female knight-errant of her dreams.

At this moment, Liang Shanbo was filled with mixed emotions, both joy and pain, and in the end, he came up with the terrible idea of ​​"becoming a monk to sever all ties with love".

"So, you want to become a monk?"

Liang Shanbo nodded, a hint of stubbornness in his eyes: "The Buddhist path is pure and can sever worldly attachments."

It's hard to say whether Buddhism is pure or not, and it's also hard to say whether one can sever ties with worldly relationships.

Mr. Xu possesses many fundamental Buddhist techniques, but this is one he truly doesn't know, since he's still preoccupied with Miss Bai.

He shook his head and said, "Liang Shanbo, do you know that Buddhism also has the concept of 'love tribulations'? If you become a monk to escape them, even Buddha would probably shake his head."

Liang Shanbo was taken aback, then said dejectedly, "But I..."

Xu Xuan patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Don't think about these things anymore. You still have to try your best in the autumn examination this year. Although the chances of passing are slim, you should still give it a try."

It means find something productive to do; it's not good to spend all your time thinking about your roommate.

The scholar smiled bitterly: "There is always a mountain to climb before bringing glory to the family. When I saw her recently, I felt both joy and fear, and I couldn't even concentrate on my studies."

What Brokeback Mountain?

Xu Xuan pondered for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "Liang Shanbo, do you know that in this world, there are not only two choices for love: 'severance' or 'continuation'?"

Liang Shanbo looked up blankly.

Xu Xuan unfolded his folding fan and said leisurely, "The word 'love' is like clouds and mist, elusive and unpredictable. If you forcibly sever it, it will only become a demon in your heart. It is better to let nature take its course and make a decision after the autumn examination."

Drag word trick!

I have too many things to do. I'll deal with all your lovey-dovey nonsense when I have some free time.

Liang Shanbo was stunned, and murmured, "Let nature take its course..." Then his eyes suddenly lit up, "Master Xu, do you think it's possible that Zhu Yingtai was a woman?"

This isn't just wild guessing; he's someone who's actually seen a painted skin.

The hideous demon with painted skin can transform into a beautiful young woman by donning human skin; with some skill, she could even disguise herself as a man.

Xu Xuan, you should be able to see through the paper tortoise's illusion, so are you planning to deceive yourself like this?
How terrifying, Liang Shanbo.

Liang Shanbo also realized that what he had just said was somewhat inappropriate, and finally sighed and cupped his hands, saying, "Letting things take their natural course is fine, but it was just wishful thinking on my part."

Xu Xuan remained silent; he didn't know what to say.

After all, we have no experience dealing with such ruthless people.

"Ahem, you should go back and study. As for matters of love... we'll find out once the storm has passed."

Liang Shanbo bowed deeply and turned to leave.

Xu Xuan watched his retreating figure, shaking his head and chuckling. "A love tribulation, a love tribulation... more difficult to quell than the waves of Dongting Lake."

Then his face darkened, and another student was walking through the mountains and forests.

Judging from her clumsy skills and her attempt to look cool, you can tell she's Zhu Yingtai.

It feels like two students dating before the college entrance exam are seeking help from a teacher to resolve their emotional issues—it's too outrageous.

And isn't your plot moving way too slowly?

We've known each other for over a year, and we're still stuck on the issue of gender. That's really slow to warm up.

Zhu Yingtai wasn't as conflicted as Liang Shanbo; she simply came to ask him what he was doing there, and even frankly remarked that Liang Shanbo seemed to have discovered her true identity.

Xu Xuan: "No, he didn't discover your true identity."

That's the scary part.

Having received a definite answer, Zhu Yingtai felt some sympathy for her friend and suddenly felt a pang of guilt, but she couldn't bring herself to express her feelings.
If she hadn't seen such a wonderful world, she might have been somewhat enamored, but now, being in a relationship is nowhere near as fun as being a female knight-errant.

Seeing that the two had left, Xu Xuan suddenly felt some sympathy for the original story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.

Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai were classmates for three years before Liang Shanbo learned she was a woman. How agonizing must their love have been during those three years? Watching themselves slide step by step into an unknowable abyss...tsk tsk tsk.

Hey~~~~
That's it, that's it.

Put aside personal feelings for now, let's first slaughter half of the Dongting demons and have some fun.
