number one leader

Chapter 223 Going Elsewhere

After a while, Chu Sheng woke up leisurely.

In a coma, he was unaware of everything outside, but seemed to be trapped in an endless vortex. He struggled desperately, but it was hard to get out.The harder he struggled, the more the vortex engulfed him towards the center, sinking into the endless abyss bit by bit.

But when he looked up at the sky, he stopped sinking.

But what he saw was a continuous dotted starry sky, just like the scene he saw when he was poisoned by the rising sun of the sickle weasel in his body.

In the starry sky, there are white starlight rays flowing, and the outline of the acupoints and meridians is the direction of the flow of Zhao Keman Huying's true energy.

This infuriating energy, presented in Chu Sheng's consciousness, is a vast and sticky white that cannot be dissipated, just like the endless mist in the courtyard of Heshanfang.

To the east, there is purple qi pervading, so it stands on the basis of another kind of true qi. It is not particularly strong in itself, but it still has a bit of momentum.

To the west, there are bursts of cold air, like snow in the cold winter.

The two energies center on Zhao Keman and Hu Ying's true qi, and they circulate freely without interfering with each other.

Then, suddenly, something changed.

But at this moment, there is a golden qi mixed into it, and from the south direction, the golden light stirs the zhenqi to circulate.

After a while, another green energy stirred into the east direction, intertwined with the purple energy.

Northbound, still vacant.

Looking at it, at some point, his thoughts suddenly pulled away, as if an infinite force pulled him out of the whirlpool, his consciousness suddenly recovered, and he opened his eyes quite weakly.

His complexion was pale, and he couldn't lift half of his strength. He only felt hot and cold all over his body, and he couldn't help but want to vomit.

After staring blankly for a moment, Chu Sheng finally came back to his senses. The first thing he thought of was the scene before he fell into coma.

After all, he was careless and was carried away by anger. He was still hesitant in front of a martial arts veteran like the green-robed scorpion old man. He wasted his words. He was actually played like a monkey by the old guy and fell into his scheme without noticing. .

The three-inch green scorpion in his mouth is really weird, who would have thought of it.

But after all, these are just words of self-justification, and Chu Sheng took this lesson to heart.

The corner of his mouth twitched, his eyes focused, but he saw a big pie face facing him.

Chu Sheng was taken aback, and soon after he saw that old face pull away, he heard the old man slap his hand and say: "Okay, this kid is awake."

Speaking of this, the old man couldn't bear it even more, and leaned down again, looked at Chu Sheng with a pair of old eyes, and reached out to pat his cheek.

"Boy, the old Daoist spent a lot of money to save you, and you have to return this favor to my Daoist sect. You can't renege on it in the future."

Chu Sheng opened his mouth, and just about to speak reluctantly, the old Taoist whispered like a thief: "The monk didn't pay anything, don't mistake your benefactor."

"In the future, if your kid has great achievements, you will have to treat me better than those bald heads."

After saying that, the old guy raised his head, and saw the monk Daoyi on the white horse, looking at him helplessly, the white horse also snorted, as if disdainful.

Rolling his eyes, the old Daoquan pretended he hadn't seen anything, he just looked up at the sky, pretending to be dumb.

Daoyi and Weiwei hadn't said anything else. Seeing Chu Sheng wake up, he just nodded at him, and his gaze turned to Master Zuo Chongguang.

The monk's bald head seems to reflect the light, as if he is really leaning against the Buddha's light, and he is on a white horse, which naturally gives people a sense of an eminent monk.

"Lord Zuo, we meet again today, but you are already in the temple." Monk Daoyi smiled calmly, and then said in a sudden turn of voice: "So, when the little monk asked me three times, Master Zuo has something to answer me? "

"How do scholars stand? How do they survive? Why do they read poetry and books?"

Zuo Chongguang was stunned for a moment, and then looked intently at this mysterious young monk. His face was vaguely similar to that of the former novice monk.

His demeanor is naturally no longer that of the scholar who was worried about winning the imperial examination; and the monk in front of him is not the little monk chasing butterflies among the flowers in the past.

But this sentence almost pulled his thinking back to the past.

At that time, the young novice monk left a message, and he said: "Whenever the donor has an answer in his heart, he will meet me at that time."

Now that he has returned from Kyoto in frustration, he has experienced some ups and downs in his years, and he has gained some insights. He finally has his own answers to those three questions.

Now, as expected, the words of the monk in the past have been fulfilled, and the two of them can really meet again.

Thinking of this, Zuo Chongguang straightened his sleeves, bowed slightly, and said in his mouth: "At such an age when the lower body is clumsy and the temple is ups and downs, it can be regarded as a bit of understanding."

"Scholars of my generation are fortunate enough to study poetry and books, that is, to be an official for a day, to stand as a common people, to live as a king, and to read poetry and books as an ambition."

Monk Daoyi smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "Master Zuo's words are somewhat interesting, and they are somewhat similar to my old friend."

When Monk Daoyi was still that little novice monk, he once said that although his good friend has read poetry and books all his life, his talent is rare in the world.But even so, the answer he gave was still not satisfactory to the monk.

Between words, Monk Daoyi was still not satisfied with Zuo Chongguang's answer.

Zuo Chongguang couldn't help feeling somewhat disappointed.

Although monk Daoyi is young, when he was still a young monk, he really had an extremely important influence on Zuo Chongguang.

Therefore, the recognition of Daoyi monk is extraordinary to Zuo Chongguang.

The old Taoist twitched his ears, and then his gaze came to him, he squeezed his beard and said with a smile: "Monk, you really have a lot of eyes."

"When we were discussing with Mr. Deqing, the first question you asked after you were late was not these three questions?"

"When you ask, Mr. Deqing's question is speechless. You think about the answer you come up with, but you pick and choose. You can't be satisfied with this place. Now, you use this sentence to deceive people , making some mysteries."

Monk Daoyi just shook his head slightly, but Zuo Chongguang showed a bit of joy on his face.

His answer is somewhat similar to that of Mr. Deqing, a well-known scholar in the world. For a Confucian scholar, this is already a kind of praise.

"Since Mr. Zuo already has the answer in his mind, please truly act according to your heart. Although he is no longer in the center, your every thought is concerned about the people of Ningzhou." Monk Daoyi ignored the old Taoist priest and just rushed to Zuo Chongguang to stay. Give instructions.

After saying this, the monk immediately rode away on a white horse.

Monk Guangming came to say goodbye to Chu Sheng, and immediately led the remaining monks and others to leave behind him.

The old Taoist also carried the bamboo basket behind his back, and the two small flags swayed in the wind.

"Boy, you can't rely on this kind of favor in the future!"

The old guy waved at Chu Sheng, then turned his head and left.

Feeling helpless on the face, it was also the first time Chu Sheng had seen such a blatant person. It was not self-evident that such human feelings in the past, etc., and how could anyone directly say it like this old Taoist priest.

He watched the old Taoist go away, only to hear a walking song echoing continuously.

"I use witty words to determine good and bad things, half a day is free and half a day is immortal~"

----------------

Yuan Fang also stepped forward and told Chu Sheng all the previous events, and finally said: "Headmaster Chu has been poisoned by scorpion poison. I will not ignore it, so I will take you to the poisonous doctor." Sue, to detoxify the head of Chu."

He did so with his own considerations.

Because of his wrong decision, several guest qings almost died in Chong'an Temple. If Chu Sheng died because of this, only the cowardly fat man Chun Bohou, the leader of the Linjiang Cao Gang, would be left alive.

This is not a good thing for his reputation.

Furthermore, when it comes to his heart, he is not the kind of person who would refuse to save him, which is even more inconsistent with his morality.

"Boy, thanks to Yuan Yi for arresting benevolence." Chu Sheng complied straight away. With this person escorting him, he would be able to travel safely all the way.

This is a good thing, and naturally there is no reason to refuse.

But before leaving, Chu Sheng dragged his sick body and made some arrangements.

There was a letter, which was sent to Xing Zhinan of Longshou Peak when Zheng Feng returned.

With Zheng Feng's temperament, he would definitely not peek at the contents of the letter.

In this, in fact, it is mostly Chu Sheng's arrangement for the follow-up. This time Sifeng is in trouble, of course a lot of resources have been leaked, and he, Longshoufeng, naturally wants to drink the soup.Chu Sheng was really worried about his own sect, but he could also see his disposition. If he really had an advantage, he would take advantage of it, and he didn't want to be left behind.

On the other hand, he secretly told Xing Zhinan that he must befriend Qi Zhoujia.

Based on Chu Sheng's understanding of Zheng Feng, he would not have let go of the Chong'an Temple battle so easily.

There is a great possibility that Zheng Feng will go down the peak, or travel the rivers and lakes to experience martial arts, or go to Yingzhou to seek revenge, in short, he is definitely not someone who dare not act.

And at this time, where will Qi Zhoujia go?Chu Sheng originally had the intention to win over him, but he chose Longxu Peak. However, Longxu Peak was almost dead. What choice would this person make?Should he travel down the mountain peak with Zheng Feng, or should he find another place?

His military skills are really useless in the world, and he has no advantages at all.

With such a talented person in the army, Chu Sheng was unwilling to let him go, so the best arrangement was to drag him up Longshou Peak and send him to Chaishan Mountain.First of all, Chu Sheng was quite proud of his own observation of people. He felt that Qi Zhoujia would not retreat before the battle, and he should have a very decent style. Since he was sitting in Chaishan on behalf of Chu Sheng to frighten the three bandits, Chu Sheng was also at ease; Secondly, he was a member of the military after all, and he was more or less familiar with the art of troop training and formation. At the very least, he was better than the three bandit leaders.

If he went to Chaishan to sit in town, the Chaishan bandits all over the mountain would be enough to be twisted into a fighting force in his hands after all.

In fact, these arrangements all stem from Chu Sheng's secret worries about the future.

Victims of disasters in Bingzhou and Chuzhou are everywhere, although there is a plum that ordered the world to steal birthday outlines to rescue the victims by stealing holy decrees, but the disasters are like fire and continue.These methods can only be used to get close to the fire for a while, but it is difficult to really extinguish the disaster, and at most it can only delay the outbreak time.

In addition, the Sanji religion is based on Bingzhou and Chuzhou, and it is deeply rooted. Once this cult raises its flag and the victims of the disaster respond everywhere, the two states will be in chaos.

The so-called fire at the gate of the city will affect the fish in the pond, so how can the neighboring Ningzhou survive.

Fortunately, Chu Sheng worked hard and calculated everything carefully, from collecting firewood from the mountain bandits, to stealing Siming Mountain to accumulate property, and now making arrangements, all for the future. , Keep yourself and the sect comprehensive, and avoid being overthrown by the victims.

At the end of the day, Chu Sheng relied on the favors from Zuofu and Chong'an Temple to request a letter from Zuo Chongguang.

This letter is addressed to Mr. Deqing, a famous person in the world.

Just having this letter is probably not enough.

But Chu Sheng had already made up his mind after hearing what Monk Daoyi and Zuo Chongguang had said before.

Everyone is different, so there is no need to go into details.

Chu Sheng rode on a spirit horse, and under the protection of Yuan Fang, the two left for Bingzhou.

Although his body is still weak, Chu Sheng has some martial arts foundation after all, so riding lightly on a horse is not a big problem.

The two of them went all the way, passed through various prefectures in Ningzhou, and after several days of unhurried travel, they finally came to a place in Bingzhou.

It's just a similar state, but here is different from Ningzhou.

Bingzhou and Chuzhou are more towards the extreme south of the border, and there are really continuous mountains and forests, with dense forests and fields.

Passing through Bingzhou Prefecture, everything you see along the way looks like it is in decline.

This is just in midsummer when the scorching sun is like fire, the scorching earth is dry and dry, and the people are struggling. Although they know that it is useless, they try their best.This is really relying on the sky to eat. If the sky does not reward the face, the people will be helpless after all. They can only sit on the ridge of the field and look at the withered and yellow crops and sigh.

Entering Bingzhou, there are obviously a lot more bandits encountered along the way, and some people really have no choice but to join the mountains and forests.

Most of the time, looking at these bandits in ragged clothes and holding blunt knives or even hoes, Chu Sheng only tried his best to let Yuan Fang's men be lenient and not have to kill them.

In the villages and towns, the common people are struggling through the sun, hoping for some rain from the heavens; while in the city, the wealthy merchants are still drinking and drinking, and the silk and bamboo are continuous, but the people's market is getting more and more prosperous.

Under Chu Sheng's strong request, Yuan Fang did not rashly contact the six gates of Bingzhou, but just sneaked around.In fact, according to Chu Sheng's observation, he doesn't think the six doors of Bingzhou are really enough to believe. After all, this is the old nest of the Sanji Sect. With the terrifying penetration of this cult, it is really hard to say that the six doors here are still clean.

In the villages and towns we pass along the way, there are almost everywhere Sanjijiao congregants, who are either dressed as monks or put on Taoist robes, preaching the teachings everywhere. Sigh, from Chu Sheng's point of view, these are just tricks to fool people.

However, some ghosts and ghosts were mixed in, and some rumors, true or false, were made up, but the people flocked to them.

Furthermore, these congregants are the most clear about how to win people's hearts, and they often just use small tricks and small favors to attract all the poor people in a village to join their teachings.

This kind of behavior is obviously not something that a simple martial arts sect can do.

Yuan Fang and Chu Sheng would be the first to disbelieve if it was said that there was no intention to shake the sky, and they did the act of raising the flag.

There was another thing that Chu Sheng watched all the way and was filled with admiration in his heart.

People in Bingzhou usually have a longevity card at home.

The result on the memorial tablet is clearly the word "Yizhimei".

The name of his chivalry is so popular in these two states, and he has reached such a level as a bandit, who can really call him a "bandit" contemptuously?

Yuan Fang also saw it, and didn't know what expression to make on his face. He knew the reason, and he knew where the money donated to the disaster-stricken people in the two prefectures came from.

But it was because of this that he felt extremely uncomfortable. He was arrested for justice, so he naturally opposed the bandits.

But with all the things he saw in front of him, it was really hard for him to say something against his will.

This kind of thing, they can't do it for righteous arrest, and only the robber Yizhimei can do it that day.
