I went to the temple after traveling through time, and he turned out to be a monk!

Bai Zhi pieced together a complete map and followed one of the roads marking the exit route.

There are more than a dozen Three Lotus cultists standing here, with relatively low levels. Seeing Bai Zhi approaching, these people knelt down and kowtowed.

Bai Zhi looked like a saint and said arrogantly: "Where does this door lead to?"

One of them said: "Swamp pool."

"I want to go in and have a look."

"Holy girl, no! The swamps breed poisonous things. If you go in with bare hands, your life will be hard to save!"

This person didn't lie to Bai Zhi. Over the past few days, she had gone through all the routes marked in red on the map and found that basically none of them worked.

Because those places are either high cliffs and high mountains, or they are barren mountains and ridges where poisonous insects and wild beasts are raised.

These days, she also used the silver hexagonal lotus on her hair crown to bribe some lower-level congregants.

They had just escaped from the category of livestock and were climbing up with all their strength. The silver hexagonal lotus, which symbolizes rank, is undoubtedly a huge temptation for them.

They took the hexagonal lotus and told everything they knew.

Generally speaking, this Jianchao Valley is a valley between high mountains. In this valley, they are not responsible for things like purchasing, and someone will be sent in every once in a while.

This greatly reduces the flow of people inside, making people isolated and more numb.

And they have only seen one exit, which is in the southeast corner and is called the Ehuan Gate.

There is an army stationed outside Ehuan Gate. This army is the result of this cult, the poisonous poison army. The people in the army are either extremely powerful, ignorant of pain, or full of poison. In short, they are an army of humanoid biochemical weapons.

It seemed that the only way to leave was through this disgusting army.

At night, Bai Zhi climbed over the wall from the window to discuss the matter with Zhuo Yunye and the others.

Bai Zhi felt depressed. When she arrived at their residence, she found that the atmosphere here was even more dull.

Sixteen of them slept in a corner of Datongpu, with an aisle and a curtain blocking the middle.

Bai Zhi came in from the window, one by one with their heads lowered, without any of the energy of the past.

Huh? Why do there seem to be two people missing?

Bai Zhi asked: "Where are Brother Yang Lin and Ah Zhao?"

Someone was about to answer her, but he hesitated and shut up. Only Zhuo Yunye said bluntly, "I'm going."

Bai Zhi's heart skipped a beat and she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it anymore. She moved to the corner, sat down obediently, and stayed silent along with them.

Bai Zhi suddenly remembered the two of them's preferences, and her eyes became wet.

Yang Lin, twenty-seven years old, likes his petite and lovely wife the most. Drawn on the map fragment is a comb, which is their token of love.

Ah Zhao, twenty years old, likes...most likes knitting straw sandals. The straw sandals he knitted were exquisite and strong. Folks in the countryside lined up to buy his straw sandals. The map fragment shows a shoe.

"Teacher, how did they die? Were they beaten to death? Or..." Bai Zhi huddled in the corner, biting the sleeve on her arm, and asked bitterly.

"It's because the poison took effect and I couldn't get the antidote."

Zhuo Yunye is finally older and much calmer. The other children were so choked that they couldn't make a sound, but he was the only one who could maintain his emotions and communicate with Bai Zhi.

poison.

Bai Zhi knew that Yue Jun's method of ruling Fengyue Sect was not very clever. He could not even understand the feelings of normal people. It would be difficult for such a person to become the leader of an organization.

How can he control Fengyue Sect like this?

The answer is obvious, absolute violence, and heart-rending poison.

Everyone who joins Fengyue Sect will take a kind of poison, which will attack at regular intervals, making people miserable.

Some people get better after the pain for a while, but after a few more pains, some people can't stand it anymore and die.

Seeing these living people losing their lives one by one, the hatred in Bai Zhi's heart could not be increased.

She gritted her teeth tightly, but her teeth couldn't stop trembling, "Teacher, teacher, I hate them so much! If I can go out, I will definitely try my best to kill the prince and Yuejun!"

Zhuo Yunye's eyes were red and he smiled softly, "Girl, what you are saying is that it would be very satisfying to kill such a person! I want to kill him too. Sometimes I want to eat his flesh and blood! But they can't kill him now. , when you go out, you have to endure your own emotions and don't influence Salan's emotions."

"If you are an ordinary citizen, there is nothing wrong with killing your enemies. But people from the royal family and officialdom cannot do this with the people's taxes!"

Bai Zhi suppressed her voice and roared, "But I don't understand, teacher, they hurt you like this, why can't they kill you?!"

Zhuo Yunye smiled sadly, "Whether it is Yuejun or the prince, they are just chess pieces!"

"Do you know why the emperor and Sa Lan still let the prince sit in this position?" Zhuo Yunye asked Bai Zhi in a persuasive way.

There was hatred in Bai Zhi's eyes, "He's stupid."

Hu Geng on the side laughed out loud when he heard this, and a few people nearby also laughed secretly. The solemn atmosphere just now gradually became better.

Zhuo Yunye also smiled, with a kind smile, "Well, this can be considered one of them. However, there is another one. Chen State, fifty years ago, almost completely fell into the hands of the Zhuo family, and the imperial court All the ministers are related to the Zhuo family, whether they are relatives, masters and apprentices, or have interests. The emperor is just a puppet in their hands, and this emperor lasted for three dynasties."

"In the past few decades, taxes have gradually increased, people are struggling to make a living, officialdom is chaotic, and the imperial examination is just a decoration. The scholars are full of ambitions, but they can only end up with no way to serve the country. It's really funny. Without connections and money, scholars can't even take the examination room. If you can’t get in, then who can? People who please corrupt officials can get in! Just like this, generation after generation! It’s rotten!”

"Scholars are the hope of the world! But the Zhuo family has chilled the hearts of scholars!" Zhuo Yunye said, beating his chest.

"Everything turned around because of the invasion of the Beiyuan people, which led to the rise of the Mei clan in the far north. That was about twenty years ago, when the current Queen Mother chose His Majesty as the successor of the puppet. At that time, His Majesty even He has talent, but under the prying eyes of the wolfish ambition, he has nowhere to put it to use, and has no ability to resist at all."

"But the sky will never stop me. As a prince, Your Majesty went deep into the Northern Plains and had peace talks with the King of the Northern Plains. He met Mei Yingxue, the daughter of the Northern General Mei Chuyun, who was Sa Lan's mother-in-law. The two hit it off immediately. They were in love with each other. But Mei Chuyun didn't want his daughter to marry a puppet emperor as a concubine and be controlled by others, so he tested him with his daughter. Fortunately, your majesty grew up reading books about sages and had ambitions in his heart, so Mei Chuyun So I agreed to help him, and that’s what happened next.”

Bai Zhi listened very seriously and couldn't help but ask: "But what does this have to do with the prince?"

Zhuo Yunye smiled, "Then I ask you, who is strong and who is weak?"

Bai Zhi pursed her lips, "Of course it's Zhuo Jiaqiang."

"Yes! It has always been Zhuo Jiaqiang! They even have the ability to rebel directly. But to rebel directly, the name is not correct, the words are not smooth, and the people cannot be convinced. Moreover, the power among them is scattered. If they really rebel, they will be behind them. Infighting arose for a while. Therefore, the prince is very important in this. The prince is the legitimate blood of His Majesty and is willing to be used by the Zhuo family. He has become the support of the Zhuo family. Everyone is attracted to the position of the prince to benefit their own family. "

"But if the prince dies, several members of the Zhuo family will have no support, and they are unwilling to give up their power. What would happen if you were them?"

After Bai Zhi thought for a moment, she suddenly realized, "He will rebel!"

"Yes, if the Zhuo family is stronger, then the Chen Kingdom will perish or be divided. Which emperor in the world would want his country to be divided?"

"So, it's good that the prince is here. The Mei family still has time to station troops in the north, and Sa Lan can also cultivate his power during this period, and at the same time accelerate the division within Zhuojia. Slowly like this, there is still a chance from They have the world in their hands.”

"Girl, this is a long process. It will definitely take up Sa Lan's whole life, and even the long-cherished wish of several generations. Hating a person has no great meaning in the power dispute. If the prince dies, what will happen next? Thousands of corrupt and cruel officials will never die, there will always be someone to take their place for profit."

The more Bai Zhi listened, the more she felt aggrieved, "But what should we do? Should we let them continue to do evil?"

"Only by allowing the majority of people with righteous hearts to step onto this stage of competition can we usher in the dawn. Therefore, people need faith and people who can guide their faith. As a member of the royal family, this is something he cannot do. A shirking of responsibility.”

"Girl, being his princess will be very hard. It will be hard for a lifetime, and it will always be for the sake of the overall situation. Your pain can only be broken into pieces and swallowed in the stomach. The teacher can see that you are a person with your own ideas. This pair of For you to say this is tantamount to breaking your bones and flesh and reshaping another you in this dispute."

Bai Zhi tasted these words, and her heart sank again and again.

The meaning of this was that she should give up herself for Meng Ying.

Bai Zhi couldn't get the answer for a while. She was still longing for other ways out. She argued: "But this is something that those in power have to consider. Ordinary people don't need to think so much? For example, A Dian, if the prince is with you now In front of you, he bullied your brother and killed your family, will you choose not to kill him?"

Hu Dian's eyes were bright and he nodded fiercely, "Of course I will choose not to kill the prince!"

This answer shocked Bai Zhi's jaw.

"My ancestor is a bachelor! How can we bring shame to our ancestors!" Hu Dian patted his chest, with pride written all over his face.

Hu Geng looked at his brother and smiled with satisfaction. The others also had bright eyes.

They started chattering.

"Brother Hu, what you said is wrong. Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world! It has nothing to do with our ancestors!"

"After all, you are a person who reads books from sages, how can you only think about yourself!"

"Jiang Hai! What you said is wrong, and thinking about yourself is right! It's just strange to say that the people we met along the way, those who only thought about themselves, all chose to commit suicide because they couldn't bear the pain. "

"Yes! When you are in trouble, you have to put something in your heart to have the energy to live."

"I just want to live, live to old age, die, live to be a hundred years old, maybe I can see the day when Dachen returns to the prosperous age!"

……

In this dirty and smelly Datongpu, this group of people was terrifyingly determined.

This is an emotion that is difficult for people who were born in a comfortable age to understand. It transcends the scope of the self. They serve the country and the people, the future peace and prosperity, and a belief in their hearts.

Bai Zhi looked up at them. They were still waving their sleeves and arguing, spittle flying everywhere.

The moonlight shines down, as if this is a bright school, where they are showing off their knowledge and chatting with other scholars.

They are high-spirited, pointing out the country, inspiring words, and thousands of households are in the dust.

Such determination made Bai Zhi ashamed. She kowtowed to Zhuo Yunye several times, "Teacher, Bai Zhi has learned a lesson."

*

Bai Zhi reached a plan with them. She needed to use Yue Jun to go to the army to explore the escape route.

So Bai Zhi waited for Yue Jun to eat early.

But when Yuejun took his seat, she was indifferent and looked unhappy.

Yuejun's big eyes were full of confusion, "Why is Miss Bai unhappy?"

Bai Zhi glanced at Yuejun lightly, her eyes full of indifference, "Yesterday I asked Yuejun where I was going after lunch, but Yuejun refused to tell me."

Yue Jun was confused, "So?"

"Love is the ultimate in honesty. I don't even know your whereabouts. How can you prove that you love me! If you don't love me, why should I love you! Eat this meal for yourself today!" Bai Zhi said in a kind of way After speaking to Yue Jun with a arrogant attitude, he turned around and left.

She stood up and left. Yue Jun looked at the empty seats in front of him and felt a sense of panic.

He doesn’t want it, he doesn’t want it to be empty opposite him! He doesn't want to eat alone!

He recalled that when he was a child, he saw his father eating with those women, talking and laughing, and his father would teach his other children how to use chopsticks to pick up food.

And he could only watch from a distance. But he was very interested, practicing in front of the air, practicing picking up the dishes in front of him, practicing picking up the dishes placed far away, practicing how to take over the dishes given to him by others, and practicing how to pick up the dishes for others.

Practiced for a long time, many years. When he suddenly came to his senses, the opposite side of him was empty.

Just like this moment.

In an instant, Yue Jun staggered to his feet. He chased Bai Zhi in a panic and shouted behind her: "No, no! I'll tell you whereabouts! I'll tell you! Will you still love me?"

"No. If Yuejun is always on guard against me, how can we talk about love?" Bai Zhi said indifferently.

She paused and continued: "Yuejun, Yuejun, you have to remember that you are a poisonous person. Every part of your body is exuding poison. No one will love you! There will be no one in this world to eat with you or play chess with you!"

Listening to these words, Yue Jun felt a sharp pain in his heart, and his breathing gradually became faster.

He watched Bai Zhi keep retreating, getting further and further away from him.

Heartbroken beyond measure, he staggered forward two steps, "Miss Bai, don't go!"

Bai Zhi continued to retreat and said: "Don't come over, I will die if you come near me!"

"But you said you weren't afraid of fishing that day!" Yue Jun shouted pleadingly.

"That's because you did a good job that day! You gave me the position of a saint! That's why I want to love you! But you hid it from me yesterday and rejected me. This shouldn't be done. If you really love me, you should put yourself in my shoes. Think about me!"

"Then I'll tell you everything! Isn't it enough that I'll tell you everything!" Yuejun was about to burst into tears.

Seeing this, Bai Zhi slightly raised the corners of her mouth, "Then I want to follow Yue Jun from now on. I will go wherever Yue Jun goes."

"Good! Good!"

Yue Jun finally caught Bai Zhi. He knelt on the ground, hugged her calf tightly, and breathed rapidly.

Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. She put her hand on Yue Jun's head through her sleeves, "So, you are still worthy of love."

Her smile did not reach her eyes, and she said softly to Yue Jun: "You have to remember that your whole body is poisonous, and no one will love you except me."
