Because the moonlight was really hazy, it was difficult for Li Huo to see the face of the white-robed monk on the opposite side. I just vaguely felt that this person should be quite old, and there was a kind of vicissitudes in the voice that young people would never have. But Li Huo was terrified because they were already very close to the small boat, but if the monk did not want to be discovered by himself and showed up, he would definitely not be aware of the existence of this person.
"That person was you just now?!"
He asked subconsciously.
The white-robed monk shook his head slowly: "No, that person's cultivation level is very special, so I didn't dare to get too close. It's impolite to disturb others. King Ming said, don't do to others what you don't want , I hate others disturbing my purity, so naturally I will not disturb others' purity."
"Are you really from the Buddhist sect?"
Lu Minglan asked with a trembling voice.
This is the first time she has seen people from the Fozong. All the Jianghu people in the Sui Dynasty were hostile to the people from the Fozong. This is an innate feeling, because the Dalun Temple of the Fozong is in Mengyuan. But it is undeniable that precisely because people from the Buddhist sect rarely set foot in the Central Plains, the quacks of the Sui Dynasty were very strange to them. Because they were unfamiliar, it was inevitable that they would also have some fear in their hearts besides hostility.
In the world outside the Sui Dynasty, most countries believe in Buddhism.
Many people say that Buddhists are omnipotent and omnipotent. It is said that there are countless great practitioners in the Buddhist sect, who have all kinds of wonderful methods and thousands of supernatural powers. It is said that the Dalun Mingwang of the Buddhist sect is a god-like person with the ability to destroy the world. Many people in the Sui Dynasty had heard of these legends.
"yes."
The white-robed monk on the opposite side nodded and said: "I came from the far west, climbed countless mountains, and crossed countless rivers before I arrived in Chang'an. Before I entered the city, I heard that I was looking for The people had already left, so I chased them again. I went to the ferry to look for a boat, but no one would go out because it was dark. So I walked all the way, and I met your boat. So... please help me. King Ming said that if all people in the world practice good thoughts, the world will be peaceful. Everyone in the world has good thoughts in their hearts, but they are stingy in giving to others, so the world is not peaceful, so there is a Buddhist sect."
His voice was slightly hoarse, but every word he said was very clear: "People of the Buddhist sect seek goodness and seek goodness from others. If you are willing to give me a ride today, it will be a great deed. King Ming said that good and evil will be rewarded, If you do good deeds and plant good causes, there will naturally be good rewards.”
"no!"
After he finished speaking, Li Huo shook his head firmly.
"If you were in a place other than Shattering, you might have fooled many people with these beautiful words. But you can't fool me. My brother traveled west more than ten years ago... When it comes to traveling west, do you know?"
Li Huo raised his jaw and said: "Of course, whether you know it or not, we will not give you any good cause today. It is disrespectful for a person from the Buddhist sect to dare to step into my Tai Sui's territory. Man, we Sui people will naturally not put a hot face on it. Meng Yuan and Da Sui are incompatible, and your Buddhist sect and my Central Plains Wulin are naturally incompatible. There is no chance between us to cross the same boat."
Hearing this sentence, the white-robed monk seemed to be slightly taken aback.
"I know… "
He suddenly sighed, shook his head slightly and said: "Back then, many demons from the Buddhist sect traveled westward and wanted to provoke King Ming's majesty, but they were subdued by King Ming's vajra anger. This is cause and effect, how can it be said that it is not due to fate when we meet the younger brother of an old friend again today?"
"However, you didn't go west and didn't offend my Buddhist sect, so there is no evil result. If you do good today, you will still have good results."
"Good mother, you're so badass!"
The hot-tempered Li Sanxing couldn't bear to yell: "Who doesn't know the hypocrisy of your Buddhist sect? So what if you can spit out lotus flowers? After all, you are not a bunch of monsters! I know you are good at cultivation, otherwise you would not be able to sneak into my The land of the Great Sui. But as a Sui person, even if you know that you are not your opponent, you will never watch you run amok in the Great Sui!"
The Taoist in white robe sighed: "How do you know that you and I are not for the same person and the same thing?"
Hearing these words, the others all looked towards Lihuo. Lu Minglan couldn't help tugging on Lihuo's sleeve, and signaled with her eyes not to start a conflict easily. Li Huo broke away from her hand lightly, took a deep breath and took a step forward.
"It's two different things."
He looked at the white-robed monk and said, "Even if you and I have the same purpose, we will never be compatible. I have something I want to kill, but that is my business and has nothing to do with you." .You have things you want to do and people you want to kill, but you have nothing to do with me!"
He slowly raised his hand and pulled out the long sword in his hand: "Because this is the Great Sui Dynasty, no one from the Buddhist sect is allowed to appear. Even if the person you want to kill is the one I will kill, it will not be your turn Let's do it. Sui people can die at the hands of Sui people, but they cannot die at the hands of Buddhist sects. This is a principle that cannot be doubted."
The white-robed monk couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "There is a good way to do it, why bother to sow evil results? Sui people's thoughts are indeed different from normal people. King Ming said that Sui people are all demons without awe, as expected."
"We have!"
Stepping forward from the fire, every step is extremely firm.
"What we are in awe of...is the belief that Da Sui's territory will never be desecrated by outsiders!"
…
…
Fang Jie leaned against the side of the boat and smelled the slightly fishy river wind, his eyes wandered a bit. He knew that Mu Xiaoyao's feelings would not go wrong, and he could roughly guess who those people were in the bushes on the north bank. Since the death of Miao Seng Chenya, the people who chased him have disappeared. After the downfall of Prince Yi, there are not many others who have the courage to kill. Now that they can keep up, it is naturally because of him to go southwest See about Luo Yao.
Besides Su Buwei, Fang Jie really couldn't think of anyone else.
After killing Lu'ou, he was sure that the emperor had sent others to follow him, just to monitor what he did and said in the southwest. This does not mean how much the emperor values him, but actually means how much the emperor values Luo Yao.
Now the Sui Dynasty still looks as stable as a mountain on the surface, and the common people are happy to talk about the fact that the emperor smashed Prince Yi's conspiracy to rebel and removed a curse for the Sui Dynasty. But who has really come into contact with that level of people, who doesn't feel uneasy? Even people like Huai Qiugong would say that they hoped that they could enjoy peace for a few years. You can think about the state of mind of the officials in the court now.
No one who can reach this level is a fool, they naturally understand how much damage Prince Yi's fall will do to Tai Sui. The more than 30,000 heads that were cut off made the people applaud, but what about the emperor himself? I'm afraid I'll be so distressed that I won't be able to sleep. It will be difficult for the imperial court to regain its vitality for a while, and the northwest is still in chaos... If Luo Yao turns against him again, the entire western half of the Sui Dynasty will be completely in chaos.
700,000 elite soldiers were lost in the northwest, and the emperor wanted to go west again. If he personally led the army, he would mobilize millions of troops. It would be fine if this battle was decided quickly, but if it dragged on, it would be equivalent to digging the foundation of the Sui Dynasty. Fang Jie couldn't understand why such a wise man as the emperor was so paranoid about the northwest affairs.
He knew that with the strength of the Sui Dynasty, it was impossible to deal a real blow to Meng Yuan, so why did he insist on sending troops? Even if he wants to leave a name in history, he must first consider the stability of the country's foundation in the Sui Dynasty. Once the Northwest is defeated again... the world of the Sui Dynasty will immediately be in turmoil.
What was the reason that made the emperor realize his dream without waiting for the arrangement to be settled
Thinking about these things in his mind all the time, Fang Jie's brows became more and more tight.
At this moment, Shen Qingfan and Mu Xiaoyao looked in the same direction almost at the same time. Chen Heng and Chen Ha, who were sitting on the deck playing rock-paper-scissors, stopped their movements at the same time and looked over there.
"What's wrong?"
Fang asked.
"There's a fight over there."
Chen Heng jumped up, his face full of joy: "Xiao Fangfang, there must be someone fighting over there, and they must be very good at fighting... Let's go and see if it's okay, Xiaoha and I haven't fought for a long time."
"I'm going too, I'm going too!"
Chen Ha also jumped up, happy like a child.
"Those people who retreated before, something should have happened!"
Mu Xiaoyao said in a deep voice: "I just sensed that those people have retreated, but the vitality of the world over there has changed drastically. There must be a master fighting. The vitality of the heavens and the earth reacted so strongly...the person who came here has a good cultivation."
Shen Qingfan said two words in a very light tone: "Very strong."
"Let's go and see."
Fang Jiedao: "Yan Kuang followed us, Chen Xiaoru, Nie Xiaoju, Chen Hun and Chen Ha stayed on the boat."
Chen Hun and Chen Ha immediately shouted in dissatisfaction: "No, no, Xiao Fangfang will take us with you! What if someone wants to beat you, with the two of us here, no one will try to bully you!"
The two of them grabbed Fang Xie's arm and began to shake it. Fang Xie couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Let everyone in Fei Yu Pao be on guard. Let's go over and have a look, but you two are not allowed to mess around!"
"We'll fly you there!"
Chen Hun and Chen Ha laughed immediately, and they jumped off the big boat with Fang Jie in their arms. Then it landed lightly on the water surface, took a few steps on the water surface like a dragonfly, and then jumped to the shore. Behind them, Shen Qing, Shan Mu Xiaoyao and Yan Kuang followed closely.
With a distance of about one mile, it didn't take long for them to rush over at their speed. Chen Heng and Chen Ha released Fang, looked around and shook their heads in disappointment: "It's over already? It's so fast."
Chen Hun took a few steps forward, squatted down and looked at a corpse on the ground: "This one was poked a hole in the forehead with a finger. It's like having an extra asshole on the forehead. It's really fun."
Chen Ha ran to the other corpse to look at it, then smiled and said, "This is the same, it also has an extra asshole! Eh... why does this person with an extra asshole on his head seem to have seen it before?"
Fang Xie's eyes stayed on the dead bodies for a while, then he walked quickly to the shore. He lit the fire folder, and found traces of a fire for cooking, and then found two more corpses beside an iron pot. Judging by the attire, they should be ordinary people, a man and a woman.
"over there."
Shen Qingfan pointed to the big river, and saw a small boat quickly crossing the water and quickly disappearing in the moonlight.
"ah!"
When Yan Kuang, who arrived later, saw the dead bodies on the ground, his face immediately changed: "It's them..."
"who?"
Fang Jie turned to look at him and asked.
Yan Kuang was silent for a while, but still told the truth: "It's the dark guards, Eunuch Su's subordinates... They were the ones who wanted to kill Chen Heng and Chen Ha in Luo City yesterday. This person is called Li Huo, and he is Li Nan's younger brother. My lord You should remember Li Nan, when he fought with Buddha Sect Tianzun Wisdom, he once made a move."
Fang Jie knew the name and the person.
"Oops! I remembered!"
Not far away, Chen Heng yelled strangely: "This is the man who sells fish buns. How could he die here? Was he bitten to death by a fish? It's too scary..."
"There's one less!"
Yan Kuang said: "Lu Minglan is not here."
"There were two people on board just now..."
Mu Xiaoyao said: "I can't perceive the cultivation level of one of them, and the other is a woman, rank eight."
