Fang Henshui swallowed the chewed meat with a painful expression on his face. He looked at Mo Wanwu, who was still waving the only arm he could move, and there was a little pity in his eyes. He was sitting on the ground with his back leaning against the big tree, and he was completely different from the demon-like appearance before.
"You didn't beat me, but I still plan to chat with you for a while..."
Fang Henshui looked down at Mo Wanwu, reached out and grabbed Mo Wanwu's broken leg and pulled him to his side. Then turn him over, face up. There was not much life in Mo Wanwu's eyes, they were ashen. His expression looked painful and hideous.
After being turned over, the shattered back touching the ground made it even more unbearable for him.
"You may not be able to hear what I'm saying at all, but it's okay... I don't have anyone to talk to, you are not my friend or even my enemy, you can barely be my opponent. But The most important thing is that you will be a dead person soon, so I have no taboo on what to say to you. It will be very painful to keep some words in my heart, I don’t know if you feel this way.”
He paused for a moment, his eyes dazed: "Prince Yi asked me why I suddenly changed from a humble little person to a strong man with good cultivation. I told him that it was the old monk Zhizhi who wanted to let me know before he died. To avenge him, he passed on his cultivation to me. This is not a good excuse, but Prince Yi should have believed it... Because Prince Yi doesn't understand wisdom, how could a person like him pass on his cultivation to others?"
"In fact, we didn't escape from Banyue Mountain, but hid at the foot of the mountain on the north side. Wisdom taught me many ways to hide, even the mastiff at the Ouchi guards couldn't smell our scent. Wisdom really A man of great ability, though at the last moment he looked like a useless skinny old man."
"He taught me to use herbs to heal wounds, to use pollen to cover up the smell, to teach me the tortoise breathing method, to be able to sit still for two or three days without feeling hungry or thirsty, it's really amazing... But it doesn't really make people uncomfortable You will be hungry and thirsty, and that feeling will redouble once you finish the exercise.”
When talking about these things, Mo Wanwu's empty eyes seemed to regain some vitality. He slowly turned his head to look at Fang Henshui, his expression gradually calmed down.
Fang Henshui pointed to a dead grass not far away and said: "The juice of that grass is very smelly, and it can cover up people's smell when applied on the body. This is also what wisdom taught me. I really don't know how he can be so knowledgeable... In the end In the past few days, in order to avoid the search by the Ouchi guards, the two of us hid in a hidden tree hole and did not dare to go out. When the people from the Ouchi guards gave up searching and withdrew, we just sat there motionless. For about four days."
"The method of dispersing the turtle's breath, the pain in my stomach made me fall down in an instant. It was a stomach spasm, and the pain should be incomprehensible to you... Wisdom didn't expect at that time that the people from the Ouchi guards stayed outside So long. I didn’t even have the strength to climb out to find food after I finished my work, and he was even worse... He was seriously injured, and he kept lying to me that it was only a minor injury, but how could I not see it, if it was what he said Slightly injured, why should he hide instead of running away as soon as possible?"
"After the guards at Ouchi left, he asked me to go out to find food. But you know... There are not many edible things on Banyue Mountain except for a few wild fruits. Of course, if weeds are regarded as food I could eat for a while. But at that time, I really had no strength, and the pain in my stomach was unbearable. Wisdom said you should go out to find food, but I said I will go later, I can’t move now.”
"He just called me a waste, he has always called me like this. He said that the young monk named Chen Ya was a hundred times a thousand times smarter than me, a hundred times a thousand times more capable than me. I said Chen Ya was dead Yes, you killed him. He is your apprentice, and your heart is really cruel... When I finished saying this, I suddenly thought that I was also his apprentice at that time."
"Speaking of Chen Ya, Wisdom seems a little guilty, but only a little bit of guilt, I only saw a little bit of guilt in his eyes. He said that Chen Ya must die, because he only wants to understand a secret."
Fang Henshui looked at Mo Wanwu and asked, "Wonders like you, do you have many secrets? It seems that you are a glamorous and honorable professor of Yanwu Academy, do you also have a disgraceful past?"
Mo Wanwu definitely couldn't answer, but his eyes flickered.
Fang Henshui smiled and continued: "Now I am also a quack, and I also have many secrets... I begged Wisdom to allow me to rest for a while before looking for food. He didn't seem to want to push me too fast. Agreed. I asked him, why must Chen Ya die?"
"He was silent for a long time, and then said that he made a big mistake. He said that at first he thought it was just a simple murder, because the Buddhist sect has always done this. It has been such a rule since the Buddhist sect , so he didn't suspect anything. So he sent Chen Ya to kill people, but he didn't kill the damned person for many years. Then when Wisdom saw that person with his own eyes, he realized that he was wrong... He said Chen Ya You must have figured out that the damned person didn't deserve to die, but you didn't tell him, so Chen Ya must have betrayed him, and then he deliberately left Chen Ya to escape when the Sui people were besieging him."
Fang Henshui was silent for a while and said: "I don't understand this passage, and he didn't explain it. I thought about it for a long time, but I still didn't understand. So I asked him why the damned person didn't deserve to die later? He said, for example, if you want to do For a rag doll, many imperfect ones were made at the beginning, and they looked awkward, so of course they had to be destroyed. But in the process of destroying it, one of them was actually found to be perfectly made, so naturally they were reluctant to part with it."
"That's a bad analogy, because I still don't get it."
Fang Henshui smiled: "I'm really stupid, I'm definitely not as good as Chen Ya."
…
…
Fang Henshui raised his head and looked at the sky. The branches of the big tree hadn't grown new green yet, and there weren't many dead leaves hanging on them, so he could see the blue sky.
"I asked Zhizhi, why do you feel that Chen Ya betrayed him. Wisdom said that you should always think that Chen Ya is the most loyal disciple to him, so Chen Ya knows a lot about him. But the most loyal disciple, how can you hide such important things? Don’t tell him? So he concluded that it was another high-status Fozong who called Da Zizai to plot against him and use Chenya to kill him to bring him down... It turns out that Fozong is the same as our Great Sui court, There are also many, many intrigues."
"I asked him, will you go back to the Buddhist sect?"
"He thought for a long time and said that he would never go back. The man named Da Zizai sent him to Zhongyuan, in fact, he wanted to borrow a knife to kill people. The knife was naturally said to be a master of our Tai Sui. And he came because he wanted to save Chenya. It was exposed, and he suspected that Chen Ya did it on purpose, deliberately letting him be discovered by the masters of the Sui people. Chen Ya must have been bought by that man named Da Zizai, so he said Chen Ya deserved to die."
"The two of us talked a lot. In fact, you should know that when people get old, they will become talkative. Many old people can't stop after opening their mouths. They will say a lot of boring and meaningless things. Later, he said Don't move because he's hungry and I'm hungry too."
"He said, have you rested yet?"
"I said not yet. Although my stomach no longer hurts, I have no strength in my hands and feet."
"He said you come here, and I will pass on some cultivation to you, so that you will have the strength to go out and find food."
Fang Henshui paused, and smiled wryly: "I really believed it at the time, because he was really like a kind old man before, and told me a lot about the past. He even mentioned our Da Sui Luo Yao, the left avant-garde general, was wounded by Fozong's people. He also mentioned that Fozong originally planned to get rid of the Sui Emperor when the Sui Emperor and Meng Yuan Khan met. But because of that Dean Zhou of the Martial Arts Institute was also in the Sui army, so the Buddhist sect didn't do anything. I was very proud when I heard this, because the presence of dean Zhou made the Buddhist sect dare not act rashly."
"He also said that ten years ago in the Sui Dynasty, there was a great cultivator who traveled westward and killed people all the way. So many masters of the Buddhist sect couldn't stop him, and in the end it was King Dalunming who suppressed that Sui man. But now he suspects that Sui man was not at all Instead of being suppressed, they fled."
"These things have nothing to do with me, but I listened carefully. Because many of them are related to Tai Sui, I want to write them down. Why should I write them down?"
Fang Henshui shook his head: "Because I have been from the Sui Dynasty from the beginning to the end, even if he gave me a name called Chen Huan, I am not from the Buddhist sect, but from the Sui Dynasty!"
There were several clicks in Mo Wanwu's throat, as if he wanted to say something. It's a pity that he is already on the verge of dying, and he still has no strength to speak.
Fang Henshui looked at him and asked, "You think I'm right?"
Mo Wanwu couldn't answer him, he didn't even have the strength to roll his eyes.
Fang Henshui seemed to be saying that he was thirsty, but when he looked down, he found that he didn't have a water bladder. And Mo Wanwu's water sac had already been destroyed in the fight. So he licked his lips, glanced at the blood stain on Mo Wanwu's broken leg, and there was hesitation in his eyes. In the end, he sighed slightly and did nothing.
"I was very happy when wisdom said that it would be passed on to me. Because I have no potential for cultivation since I was a child. At the beginning, my grandfather spent money to invite a practitioner to test my physique. The practitioner said that I have never practiced in my life. It’s a pity that I only opened thirty-three air pockets. Grandpa’s pity was the money he spent, not my body. And I always feel that I should not be an ordinary person, I’m sure It's very special. I didn't realize until I grew up that everyone thought this way when they were young."
"So I happily climbed to Zhizhi's side, hoping to change from an ordinary person to a practitioner. But when I was climbing, I saw his eyes flicker."
"At that time, I didn't know why I was smart. I suddenly felt that wisdom must not be passed on to my cultivation, but to eat me... He has eaten my flesh before. It may be hard for you to imagine that the Buddha who is known as the best in the world Zongzhi is also a high-ranking celestial being, so he can eat human flesh. But I can clearly see from the eyes of wisdom that this is not the first time he cannibalize human flesh."
"After crawling a few times, he realized that Wisdom might want to eat me, so I lay down on the ground and pretended to have no strength."
Fang Henshui seemed a little complacent when he said this, and raised his eyebrows: "I said, if you are really hungry, Master, you can eat my meat first. If you are injured, don't waste your cultivation to pass it on to me Now, I am young, and I can walk around after a short rest. Wisdom was obviously stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said that you are my disciple, how could I be willing to eat you? Come here, and I will pass on the power of cultivation to you. I told him that I It is willing, willing to dedicate their own flesh and blood to honor the master."
"Zhizhi was silent for a while and said that since you have such filial piety, come here. I just have to bite your ass to restore some strength. He said don't worry, I will not eat a lot. He also said that he has Very old and can't eat much."
"I told him, Master, I really don't have the strength to climb, so come and eat by yourself, okay?"
Fang Henshui laughed, very proud: "He didn't move, forget it, he still can't do it, how can he eat his own disciple's flesh?"
"At that time, I laughed and laughed very happily. Because I knew that the old immortal couldn't even move."
