Fang Henshui never thought that he would be cut by someone. When the fear filled his heart, even the physical pain was covered. There is no doubt that the fear in his heart is more unbearable than the pain in his body. It was his own waist knife that cut his flesh, but how could the delicate-looking hand holding the knife be so vicious
The knife slipped from Fang Henshui's arm and with a light twist, a piece of bloody flesh was sliced off. At this time, Fang Henshui, who was in extreme fear, even thought about why the nasty young monk chose to drop the knife on his arm instead of other places.
Relatively speaking, there is more flesh on the buttocks and thighs.
But with his thighs and hips cut he couldn't walk, and with his shoulders or back cut he couldn't lift the pole anymore.
Even cutting the knife is so purposeful, how cold and calm this young monk's heart is.
The flesh left Fang Henshui's body, and he covered his mouth with his other hand not daring to wail. Now he realized that what the two monks said before was true and not a joke, and he finally felt how close death was to him. When he was in that small county, it was not like he had never seen a corpse as a head catcher. But the death of others has become accustomed to him, and when he faces the threat of death, he is obviously not ready yet.
"I won't run away, never!"
Fang Henshui squeezed these words out between his teeth, his forehead was already covered with sweat.
"Very well, go get some water. If you're not tired you can get some food, because we're all hungry."
Chen Ya gave some light instructions, then took the piece of meat and returned to the place where he had rested before and sat down. He looked at the bloody piece of meat in his hand, frowned and wanted to throw it away.
"Do you know why I want you to take this Sui man with you?"
asked the old monk.
Chen Ya said: "Because it's more convenient for someone to show his face. After confirming which Sui pursuers have gone to the front, we can throw away this useless person. Now he is just a tool."
"No."
The old monk smiled and said, "What are you holding in your hand?"
"It's human flesh."
"It's also food."
The old monk said calmly: "When facing a crisis, you may not be able to find food for a long time. But if you bring a living demon, you can at least eat for many days."
When these words came out of the benevolent old monk's mouth, even Chen Ya trembled in fright. He had never discovered that Shizun was such a cruel person. In his impression, when Shizun was walking, when he encountered an ant, he would stop and let the ant crawl over first, lest he would step on it. But now, the words spoken lightly from Master's mouth pierced Chen Ya's heart like a cold knife.
"This is... human flesh."
"No, this is demon meat."
"Master, but you said before that this Sui man has not yet developed a demonic nature in his heart, so he is still a human being, not a demon."
"When you cut this piece of meat, the demonic nature in his heart was already alive."
The old monk looked at the direction where Fang Henshui disappeared and said: "If you feel it carefully, you will feel the anger and fury in that Sui man's heart. If he has the chance, he will kill you by any means. When you cut another piece of his flesh, he will completely become a demon."
"But, if the disciple doesn't cut his flesh, won't he be enchanted?"
"I have no idea."
The old monk shook his head and said: "But what you have to remember is that Sui people are all monsters. So killing Sui people, or even eating Sui people is to subdue demons and eliminate demons. Let go of your obsessions, and you will realize more If there were no Sui people, no monsters in the world, and they were all followers of my Buddhist sect, how peaceful and happy the world would be?"
"The disciple understands."
Chen Ya nodded, recalling what the old monk said, he found it really made sense. If all the disciples of the Buddhist sect took eliminating demons as their own responsibility, then there would be no place in this world where demons and demons roamed like Da Sui. And if there is no Great Sui Dynasty, the world of Buddhist sects must be full of truth and goodness.
"Master, if we walk back slowly like this, will it delay the matter? Didn't you say that the Sui people might launch troops against the empire? If we rush back and tell Mengge Khan the news, let him do it." Get ready, then the Sui people's plot will not succeed."
"Where's your white tiger?"
asked the old monk.
Chen Ya was startled, and then said with some disappointment: "Leave it outside Chang'an City, in the forest where the Sui man was captured. But I didn't summon it before, so I don't know where it went."
"It went back."
The old monk smiled and said, "I have written down the information I should take back and hid it on the white tiger. It knows the way back, and it must be faster than you and me."
"Master has a wonderful plan."
Chen Ya bowed his head and said.
"So we have to go slowly, because if we don't go back to those Sui people who are chasing us, we will think that the news has not been leaked. The faster we go back, the Sui people's plan will be advanced. Just let Baihu go back and spread the news. , you and I might as well stay in Tai Sui for a few more days."
"Master, who is that big demon that you said was going west?"
"I don't know."
The old monk slowly closed his eyes and looked towards the west: "Don't worry, if even Senior Brother Shi Yuan can't stop him, Senior Brother Da Zizai will make a move; if Senior Brother Da Zizai can't stop him, King Ming will naturally make a move. I didn't expect that this There is no one in the world that King Ming can't suppress."
A mile away, Fang Henshui found a small stream, hesitated for a long time, and finally did not dare to escape. He knew that with his own martial arts, he would be captured again if he couldn't run far. But now, apart from dealing with the two monks carefully, he can only wait for Tai Sui's pursuers to find them as soon as possible.
When thinking of this, he quietly tore off one of his clothes and tied it to a small tree by the stream.
If I have a great cultivation base, I will definitely eat those two demon monks alive!
So he vowed.
…
…
When Fang Jie returned to Sanjinhou Mansion, it was already dark, and His Majesty asked him about his background again in the dome. The lie he made up was told again, but Fang Xie knew that His Majesty might not really believe it. After all, he has a few bodyguards with good cultivation around him, it is impossible for a child from a poor family to have such strength.
In Fang Jie's narration, he is the child of a very wealthy businessman. His father was killed by robbers on the way to do business in Fangu, and several bodyguards in his family tried their best to rescue him. Because he was worried about being retaliated by others, he joined the Fan Gu Frontier Army. Only then did the miracle of making twenty-one military exploits come about, and only then did the miracle of the current nine excellent schools come about.
Before he left the dome, the emperor gave him the title of a right servant. This is not an official position, nor is it a noble title. When a child of an aristocratic family is born, almost all of them will have such a title. But there is no doubt that with such a title, Fang Jie's identity has changed.
Far away, Fang Jie saw lanterns and festoons in front of Sanjinhou's Mansion.
He was surprised for a moment, and was startled when he thought of the trouble the girl had encountered. He thought that there was a decree from the palace, and Wu Yinyu would have to enter the palace, so he put on lights and festoons. So he quickened his pace, but when he reached the door, he realized that it was a false alarm.
This scene was actually specially arranged by Marquis San Jin to celebrate him.
Fang Xie couldn't help but be a little moved. Wu YiDao was the second noble person he met after arriving in Chang'an, the first being Mr. Zhuo. It is undeniable that Wu YiDao helped Fang Xie the most.
Walking into the Hou Mansion, every servant greeted him with a sincere smile. Fang Jie likes this feeling, it makes him feel like he is back home.
When he walked into the living room, he saw Wu Yiyi who was smiling.
There are also Shen Qingshan, Mu Xiaoyao, Dagou, Qilin, and Jiu Se Cai, but they didn't see that delicate little girl Wu Yinyu. Fang Jie guessed that the little girl must still be angry with her father, so he didn't care. Facing everyone's smiles, Fang Jie was dumbfounded for a moment, not knowing what to say first.
"congratulations!"
The fat man greeted him first, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Mr. Fang, the first person in the Sui Dynasty in a hundred years. I don't know what auspicious words to congratulate on such a festive event."
Fang Jie looked at his outstretched hand, scratched his hair in embarrassment, and said, "When I entered the house, everyone in the house was saying congratulations, and all the money they had on them was distributed."
Jiu Se Cai withdrew his hand more embarrassingly than him, and said with a sneer that it's all right, it's all right, my family.
Everyone laughed, Wu Yidao pointed to the table full of wine and vegetables and said: "Come on, sit down, I will drink a few more glasses tonight no matter what. To celebrate you being appreciated by His Majesty, enter the Martial Arts Academy as the first name .Secondly, to celebrate my discerning eye, I bet on the treasure first when you didn't make a fortune."
Fang Jie laughed and said, "Why do I feel a little guilty?"
"Very fake."
Wu Yidao sat down, poured a glass of wine for Fang Jie with his own hands, and said, "Before celebrating your victory today, I have to tell you something first... I will leave early tomorrow morning, and you will live in this house first. In the afternoon, Yu had already set off to return to Qingle Mountain Yiqi Temple, and this yard will be handed over to you to take care of."
"Are you going out of Beijing?"
Fang Jie asked in surprise.
Wu Yiyi nodded and said: "Your Majesty welcomes you on such a grand occasion today, don't you guess what it means?"
"I guessed something... I'm afraid His Majesty will announce the use of foreign troops soon."
"That's right, so I'm leaving the imperial capital."
Wu Yiyi paused for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter if I tell you something now. Your Majesty started preparing for the Western Expedition a long time ago. In order to hide it from others, all the weapons, armor, food, grass, and equipment used for the Western Expedition are made of I transported the goods to the northwest. Not only that, but the elite soldiers dispatched from all over the country were also quietly transported away by the fleet of the goods. Xujun Wang Yang Kai set off for the northwest to sit in town many days ago, and At this time, I, the boss of Hutong Tianxiahang, have to go to the northwest to dispatch."
Fang Jie was stunned for a moment, only then did he understand the importance of Marquis San Jin in the imperial court and in His Majesty's heart. For such an important matter, His Majesty is so relieved to entrust it to a firm. It can be seen from this that His Majesty has far more trust in Wu Yiyi than most of the officials in the court.
"It's only now that I realize what a thick leg I've hugged."
Fang Jie said with emotion: "The one who earns money from the imperial court is the most powerful businessman."
"Fool!"
Wu Yidao scolded, as if he was disappointed by Fang Jie's reaction. But he didn't continue on this topic, but talked about Fang Jie's entry into the Martial Arts Academy. Fang Jie didn't care about the meaning behind Wu Dao's idiot, because he didn't think about it carefully, so he was surprised when he found out the truth later. On weekdays, Fang Jie might think deeply for a while because of the word "stupid". But today, his mind was a little fuzzy because he was happy.
"You don't need to worry about anything in the future. Since His Majesty is holding you up with one hand, he won't allow others to destroy you easily. You must know that what you represent now is not just the second time in the Academy of Martial Arts to win the Nine Gates. Excellent candidates represent the importance His Majesty attaches to children from poor families."
"I know."
Fang Jie nodded.
"So, you can't let His Majesty down."
Wu Yidao's tone suddenly became serious: "You should understand that you are already standing very high now. Because of your standing high, you can touch things that you couldn't touch before, and gain the respect of others. But it may also be because of your standing If you fall from such a high height, you will fall to your death. I have a sentence for you, I hope you will remember it.”
"Please enlighten me, Lord Hou."
"What does His Majesty think?"
Wu Yidao said seriously: "Think about these five words before doing things, and you will become calm and sober."
"This war is not going to end anytime soon."
Wu Yidao raised his glass and drank it down.
"Three years later... if you are not dead, then it will be time to soar into the sky."
