Fang Jie glanced at the corpse at his feet, and couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief after confirming that the lunatic was dead. He took a few steps back, and saw two worms coming out of Bo Chi's shattered eyes. They looked like silkworms, but they had long legs like centipedes. Fang Jie had never seen such insects before. plant something.
He picked up a stone from one side and smashed the two worms into mud.
Then walk out of the woods slowly.
"Find something easy to ignite and pile it up at the entrance of the cave... Bochi is dead, and those wolf-faced spirit apes inside have no owner. Once they go down the mountain, they will be a disaster. Especially the biggest one, it seems Even the armor-piercing cone may not be able to penetrate its fur. There should be no other exits from this cave, and if it burns for a while, it will always be suffocated to death."
Big Dog and the others acted immediately, finding a lot of wood and piled it at the entrance of the cave. Chungu picked up Bo Chi's body with a Damo knife and threw it on the firewood pile, and then lit the firewood. Wet firewood was not easy to ignite. Fang Jie poured strong wine on Bo Chi's body and lit it. Slowly, the flames began to rise.
When the thick smoke penetrated into the cave, one could clearly hear the howling of the wolf-faced apes in the cave. But these things are naturally afraid of fire, and they dare not go outside. The ten people in the camp were guarding outside with Damo Dao, to prevent anything from rushing out. The big dog kept adding firewood to the fire.
After being smoked like this for more than an hour, Fang Jie couldn't be sure if any disgusting things were dead or not. They moved big rocks to block the entrance of the cave, and then they left.
Shen Qingfan looked at Fang Xie with questioning eyes, but Fang Xie just said something in a low voice before going back and then went down the mountain first.
The people went down the mountain and left immediately after finding the horses.
It took two days to rush back to Yongzhou, Fang Jie asked the people from the camp to enter the city in disguise, and entered his residence disguised as a buddy. As long as you don't reveal your identity, you don't need to hide how many people are around you. The city of Yongzhou is full of Luo Yao's eyeliner, it is almost impossible to hide it.
It was already the afternoon of the fifth day, if they didn't come back, Mu Xiaoyao might lose her composure and go find Luo Yao.
After going back, he told them what Bo Chi had said, and both Shen Qingfan and Mu Xiaoyao saw a trace of relief on Fang Xie's face. Although this life experience was beyond everyone's imagination, Fang Jie seemed to accept it much more comfortably than when he learned that he was Luo Yao's son.
Although the mind no longer belongs to that child, the body still does.
I don't know if the couple is still alive in a small village near Yongzhou. Seventeen years ago, their child was stolen and never heard from again. They reported to the government hoping to find their child back, but who would have thought that the one who stole the child was Luo Yao, the left avant-garde general who was in the southwest and known as the barrier of the southern border of the Sui Dynasty
The reason why the people from the Ministry of Punishment and the people from Ouchi's bodyguard department did not have any clues after searching for half a year is that only Luo Yao has this ability.
Seventeen years on, the birth parents may already be grieving. In the dead of night, they would think of their children and murmur baby how are you now? Husband and wife hold hands together, seeking the warmth that can comfort them from each other's coldness. The child is gone, but it is always in my heart. When I think about it, the innocent and childish smile of that day will always emerge, so real.
How many nights have the husband and wife hugged each other and wept.
Looking at the small cotton quilt used to wrap children more than ten years ago, I was speechless and choked up.
Perhaps, after the personnel from the Criminal Department and the Ouchi Guards Office had withdrawn, they had already been murdered by Luo Yao's men. Or maybe they've moved out of this sad place. The most depressing and ecstatic thing in this world is parting. What is more sad and painful than a child being taken away in parting? The so-called parting of love is not worth mentioning in front of this kind of sadness.
As for Luo Yao, within a month, one hundred families were plunged into endless sorrow.
"Too much..."
Mu Xiaoyao murmured: "I thought it was a heinous crime for him to break into my mountain gate and kill my sister and teacher more than ten years ago. I didn't expect him to do even more vicious things. This person is too selfish. So heavy that people all over the world could die for him and he can do nothing."
After being silent for a while, the big dog squeezed out a few words: "He will make retribution!"
Fang Jie shook his head: "I never believed that there was any karma in this world, and I always said that God is fair... In fact, what makes God fair is not to give justice to the world, its fairness is just not to interfere in the affairs of the world. Seeing the many evils rampant in this world, don’t care about it or ask about it, this is its fairness. It is the most ridiculous idea to expect God to punish the wicked. It is the only medicine for the weak to comfort their souls, but it is actually useless.”
"If the curse worked, all the villains in this world would have been wiped out. If there really was retribution, Luo Yao would not still dominate. The human world is not much different from the animal world. The reason why tigers are called It is not the king of beasts because it is kind, but because it is fierce enough."
Shen Qingfan nodded slowly: "But I can be sure that this person will not end well in the future."
"That has to be done by someone..."
Fang Jie stretched his body and said: "Now he still firmly believes that I am Luo Wu's resurrection. If you want Luo Yao to fall from a high mountain, my identity seems to be useful."
"What are you going to do?"
Shen Qingfan was startled for a moment and then asked.
"He said he owed me."
Fang Jie smiled and said, "Then should I just take back what he owes me as a matter of course?"
…
…
Sitting opposite Luo Yao, Fang Xie's face was calm and peaceful.
When he was talking in front of Luo Yaoping and Governor Luo Qiu, Fang Jie remembered that in his past life, he was singing Baimenlou with a group of old men in a small park in his spare time in the past life. If you regard the corner of the park as a small theater, then Fang Xie can play anyone with ease no matter what. In comparison, the world is a big stage. From the small theater to the big stage, during the transition of roles, Fang Jie lost the initial discomfort, confusion, and fear that touched his soul. Only nine words remained after seventeen years of life.
Young people can also be cunning and cunning.
But Fang Jie also knew that the guy sitting across from him was also a character, and on this big stage, he always seemed to have a bigger role than himself. But that's okay, isn't it great to play against old drama characters
"This is Nanyan's Pu'er."
Luo Yao pointed to the tea in front of Fang Jie and said, "The best tea in the world is Jiangdu Longjing, Wuyi Hongpao, Dali Pu'er... Yongzhou used to be the capital of the Shang Kingdom, so business has been flourishing for so many years. Although the merchants of Nanyan They fear me like a tiger, but they are even more reluctant to part with money. The Sui Dynasty was prosperous and powerful, and the common people had surplus money and food, so every big city was bustling with people."
"I have a good location in Yongzhou, so I always drink new tea earlier than others. But the darker the Pu'er, the better. I am a martial artist, and I heard these words from those tea merchants."
Fang Jie took a sip and nodded slightly: "I heard that Pu'er is divided into raw and cooked, and you can't drink raw Pu'er after three years. Ripe Pu'er is more valuable the longer it is aged."
Luo Yao hummed and said: "What you are drinking now is something that has been preserved in the palace of the Shang Kingdom. It is said that it has been nearly a hundred years old. Peeling and shredding tea is a delicate job. Someone told me that the price of this cup of tea can be in the Changing Yongzhou to a small shop, although this is a little too much, but it is not unreasonable to think about it."
"This kind of tea, ordinary people may not be able to drink it in a lifetime, five lifetimes, or ten lifetimes."
When Fang Jie heard these words, his heart moved slightly, but his face remained calm.
Luo Yao looked at Fang Jie's face, stood up after being silent for a while, walked to the window, pointed outside and said, "Everyone in the world lives in the same world, and they are in the same world. I don't live in a world. I can drink a cup of good tea that can be exchanged for a shop, and the people in the shop are still running for their livelihood. From their world to my world, good luck also needs generations of hard work. "
"Can you believe that?"
he asks.
Fang Jie nodded: "There is no doubt about it."
"Some people are born with rich clothes and good food, and some people are born with nothing to eat. These are two worlds under one world. If you want to climb from the world of ordinary people to another world, you need more than a firm will and hard work. Take action. Although your time in Chang'an City is not long, you should have seen a lot of people like this. It's like a loach trying desperately to squeeze into a pool of koi. In the end, you can successfully become a koi Yes, how many are there?"
Luo Yao shook his head: "Not one, because a loach is just a loach, and it will never become a koi."
"You are now a first-class townsman, and your title is not high. But ordinary people regard you as a big man, while the rich and powerful regard you as worthless. You are already the luckiest of those who are struggling to climb, but you have to rely on You can’t succeed if you don’t work hard for ten or twenty years. You have to make sure you survive the open and dark arrows, and survive the repulsion of those koi.”
"If the loach wants to convince the koi, do you know what the only way is?"
"What?"
Fang asked.
"Make yourself stronger, bigger and more ferocious than any koi, and can swallow ten or eight koi in one bite. Will those koi still crowd out you? No... they will only be afraid, so they can hide You stay far away, the farther you hide from you, the bigger the pool you occupy yourself."
Luo Yao raised his chin slightly and said, "I'm just a loach, but I'm already big now."
Fang Jie frowned: "What is the general trying to tell me?"
Luo Yao said: "What I mean is, if you want to go from that world to this world, there is a shortcut... that is me. You are my son, if I give you a hand, you can easily stand on a high place."
Fang Jie was silent.
"In the world, there are only legends about koi leaping across the dragon's gate, but there is no story about loach leaping and transforming into a dragon."
Luo Yao said indifferently: "But you should know that the reason why people say that it is carp and not loach that crosses the dragon gate is because in the eyes of the world, all high-ranking ones are beautiful. And how do you define beauty? The strong define it! Now I stand On the street, it is said that loach is more beautiful than koi. There will be countless literati who will say that I am right, and then find all the beautiful words and sentences to quote the classics to agree with me.”
"When the loach grows so big that it can't fit in the entire East China Sea... Long, is it really scary?"
"Stay here."
Luo Yao said lightly: "Although I can't give you a legitimate identity, I can give you a piece of beauty and prosperity!"
