Poor monks do not break the precepts

After resting in Li Niang's inn for two days, Xu Sheng hurried to set off. In the Wuzhi Building, he said that he was right and no one dared to stop him.Talking about his life experience that day, Xu Sheng's words were like a curse lingering in his ears for a long time, he felt guilty, and his ears softened, even if he knew that someone was deliberately selling miserably, Huai Mingmo would just eat this, so Xu Sheng didn't say anything is what.

The person who was counting on him threw away his armor and helmet, Chen Xiang weighed himself to try his best, impatient and determined to lose his mind, when he was in trouble, Mr. Bian Ji sent someone to order him to follow along the way, if he wanted to refuse, then he would Come here in person and take him back to Wuzhilou for healing.When the old man died, he entrusted himself to Mr. Bianji, maybe because he still had his prestige when he was young, Xu Sheng didn't dare to refuse, so he agreed with a bitter face, but also felt that he was being humiliated in public, and cursed secretly in his heart.

There are black faces leading the way, and there are people behind to protect them. You don’t have to live in a turbulent day, and you feel relaxed and at ease. Even walking in the swamp, Xin Li feels that the scenery is beautiful when he looks at the miasma that fills the air. The rotten smell and fragrance are overflowing, and even the cry of the cockroach is like hibiscus weeping dew.

Chen Xiang glanced at Xin Li secretly, covered her mouth with her hand, and laughed very softly, "Fool."

Since the acquaintance, Chen Xiang has always looked at herself coldly, and now she smiled at herself for the first time, Xin Li almost fell off the horse, and said in a slightly low tone: "You were laughing just now?"

Hearing this, Chen Xiang's face swished down, she turned her head forward and ignored him, put her feet on the horse's belly and threw him behind her.

Huai Mingmo happened to hear this scene, and said with a light smile, "I don't know how many times this journey has been, but I've always been treated coldly, but I didn't give up."

Xu Sheng used an incense spoon to sprinkle Qingyuan incense into the three-legged copper furnace with the wrong silver lotus and Buddha pattern to remove the smell, and disagreed with Huai Mingmo's opinion, "Chen Xiang is shy, blame me, she has a weird personality and is not very good at expressing Get emotional."

Huai Mingmo's sense of smell is more sensitive than ordinary people, and the rotten smell from the swamp makes him feel sick, thanks to Xu Sheng's constant addition of incense powder to the censer, most of the smell is covered.He recalled Xu Sheng's words to Ji Duorui before, and he obviously didn't mean what he said, and teased with a smile: "It's good to talk about people, but myself... It's not the same."

"Am I right or wrong?" Xu Sheng retorted.

Huai Mingmo was about to open, but suddenly the carriage stopped abruptly, Chen Xiang's voice came from outside the carriage, "Lord, the black face of the road explorer is here to report. If we go three miles further, there is no way to use the carriage. The road up the mountain has already passed." It has been abandoned for many years, overgrown with bushes, this area is mostly a swamp, and now it is covered with dead leaves, if you continue to move forward in a horse-drawn carriage rashly, you may be in danger."

Supporting Chen Xiang's arm to get off the carriage, Xu Sheng covered his nose with a handkerchief, surveyed the surroundings for a long time, attracted some black-faced leaders and said: "Call a few people to follow me into the mountain, and the others will stay here."

The black-faced leaders answered in unison: "Yes."

The order was arranged, and it was quickly implemented. To ensure the safety of Xu Sheng, one of the black-faced leaders decided to accompany him personally, and the rest of the group waited for the order at the foot of the mountain.Before entering the mountain, Xu Sheng asked someone to bring a small table from the carriage, with the legs of the table supported by two black faces, and it was laid flat on the ground. After Xu Sheng wrote the letter and sealed it, he summoned a leader and told him to go immediately Dingxi Wangfu in Western Shu sent the letter to Dingxi Wang.

Xin Li watched from the sidelines, subdued in his heart by the vain artifice, even though everyone knew that he had lost his martial arts, they still respected him as usual, what kind of means did he cultivate a dead soldier.Luo Chen swallowed his saliva when he saw it, these black-faced martial arts were not inferior to his own, recalling all the unreasonable things he had done in the past, he was quite worried about holding grudges in vain.

Everything was properly arranged, Xu Sheng asked someone to lead the way into the mountain, Huai Mingmo originally planned to keep Zang Li and Luo Chen behind, but Luo Chen insisted on following, so he nodded in agreement.When Xu Sheng walked past Luo Chen, he smiled meaningfully at him, and now Luo Chen was frightened and became more honest.

Seeing swamps before entering the mountain, everyone expected that the road would be difficult, but they didn't expect the road to be so difficult and dangerous.

The black-faced leader turned back covering his chest, coughed twice, and pleaded guilty: "The front of the building is full of miasma and poisonous smoke, and there are insects crawling on the ground. I just sent someone to force it through, but the insects here are extremely poisonous." When a person goes in and is bitten, his limbs will be paralyzed when he is young, and the blood vessels in the whole body can be clearly seen, and then he will bleed to death from the seven orifices."

Luo Chen covered Zang Li's ears, and let go of his hand after Heimian finished speaking, with a look of embarrassment on his face, "There is no other way to enter the deep mountain? It's all here."

The black-faced leader looked at Xu Sheng and said nothing, he gritted his teeth and said: "Your subordinate will go and try it out, you must find a way out."

Seeing that people were going to die for no reason, Huai Mingmo was anxious to speak, Xu Sheng opened his eyes and said slowly: "Come back, I have lost many people these days, I will not let you die innocently. This road will not work , go down the mountain first and discuss later."

Xin Li also responded in agreement: "This road is dangerous, and it really doesn't look like a road that can go deep into the mountains."

Luo Chen cut off the words, stabbingly said: "You are an afterthought, why didn't you say it earlier, why do you have to take this wrong road these two days."

Xin Li blushed with anger, but Chen Xiang said in a cold voice: "Whoever claims that there are many traps on this road, it is the right way at first glance, and you will definitely find Butterfly Valley if you go along the road." Zang Li nodded in agreement with Chen Xiang, and said again and again: " That's it."

The enemy is too short-sighted to see a disadvantage, Luo Chen shuts his mouth in time, and the corners of his lips are drawn to both sides, with a face that you can do nothing to me.

"Go back when you've had enough trouble." Xu Sheng glanced coldly at the crowd, and said quietly: "It's a waste of strength, it's easy to solve, go ahead and find a way."

Huai Mingmo walked shoulder to shoulder with Xu Sheng in front, rustling behind him, his footsteps were really heavy, he smiled lightly and shook his head, "Look at you scaring them, they are all honest."

Xu Sheng still had anger in his heart, now he sprinkled it on Huai Mingmo, and said half-annoyed: "It's just your family's Xinli, which will destroy the aloes."

"My upper beam can be straight, but the lower beam is crooked, I can't control it."

"It's clear that I didn't care, but I'm ashamed to complain to me." After Xu Sheng said, he quickened his pace and walked forward, throwing Huai Mingmo behind him.When I met the last few people, I was thinking that even Huai Mingmo's good words were useless, I was doomed this time, thinking so deeply, the steps under my feet became heavier.

It took them seven days to go back and forth. When they returned to the camp at the foot of the mountain, they found a short and thin man.This person has never seen any big scenes, and now he is shivering sitting next to a group of black-clothed men with fierce eyes. Besides, these people hang knives on their waists and keep silent all the time. It was trembling and fear, so Hei Mian gave him water, and he drank it no matter whether he was in a hurry to urinate, and gave him food, no matter how full he was, he would eat it clean.

Seeing Xu Sheng's return, the rest of the black-faced leaders went up to greet him immediately. One of the leaders grabbed the villager and threw him in front of Xu Sheng, and respectfully handed back the reply letter from King Dingxi.

Xu Sheng shook open the letter and looked at it for a while, his eyes stopped on the head of the honest man, "The person sent by the prince is not bad, your name is Ba Jiao?"

Bajiao lay prone on the ground, trembling violently, and stuttered a little with fear, "Mr. Hui, the younger one is Bajiao."

Seeing that the man was shaking pitifully, Xu Sheng said softly: "Oh...do you know why the prince sent you here?" Seeing him nodding, he said: "I heard that you are very familiar with this terrain and have been in it several times. In this mountain, you should remember the way into the mountain, right?"

Before Bajiao could answer, Xu Sheng asked again: "Do you know that there is a place called Butterfly Valley in this mountain?" The two commanders waved and pointed at Bajiao, "Since he can't speak, if he twists his tongue, it's just a display anyway."

When King Dingxi told himself, he was obviously amiable, and Ba Jiao didn't take it seriously at all. He didn't expect that the powerful master was here, so he kowtowed desperately, and said, "I say, I say! My lord, spare me."

The black-faced leader saw Xu Sheng's jaw move slightly, so he let go of Bajiao's arm, and said sharply: "Then tell the truth, don't try to play tricks."

Xin Li bent over and whispered to Huai Mingmo, "When will you be able to learn [-]% from your teacher?"

Huai Mingmo saw through his plan with a chuckle, and replied in a low voice: "Then you can pick the pick, right?"

"Well, it's just that if you look at Xuanji Pavilion now, the old people don't obey, and the newcomers are incompetent. It's really hard to order them." Xin Li's words revealed envy. Although he was in Han, his heart had already drifted to Cao Ying, "this Xu Sheng is really capable, he gained great power at a young age, and now he has subdued the management of the building, no one will say what he says."

Xu Sheng opened his mouth to ask a question, and glanced back at Xin Li who was making a rustling sound, because the evil spirit on his body was still there, this casual glance scared Xin Li back into cold sweat.

Xu Sheng's hands were dry and slightly peeled after not taking care of them for many days, and the back of his hands was covered with small shallow wounds. He frowned silently at the back of his hands, which made people look even more terrifying.

Bajiao lay on the ground and peeked at Xu Sheng, trembling like a small animal that fell into a tiger's mouth, tongue tied, "Walk west for five days, and the Butterfly Valley is probably there."

The black-faced leader gestured and asked sharply, "How do you know it's Butterfly Valley?"

Bajiao answered honestly: "There are many rare medicinal materials in this mountain. I often go to the mountain to chop firewood and pick some to sell to subsidize my family. Once my son was seriously ill, so I thought about going to the mountains to buy more medicinal materials for money. Unexpectedly, it was so windy and rainy that day that I lost my way in the mountains and stumbled into a valley by mistake. I didn't expect that there were people living in it. Later, the owner of the valley sent someone to take me down the mountain and gave me a lot of silver. I went to see a doctor for my son, and the owner of the valley allowed me to go to the valley to gather medicine regularly, and would often let me buy some daily necessities to send in, so that I could earn some money to support my family.”

Xu Sheng supported the side of the head with the palm of his hand, and massaged the acupuncture points around the eyes with one finger to relieve the discomfort of sore eyes.There is something wrong with these words, even Luo Chen can hear it, he smiled and said: "Can you read?" The witness shook his head when he heard the words, Luo Chen then asked: "How do you know that there is the Butterfly Valley, did the people in the valley tell you?"

Bajiao quickly replied: "There is a stone tablet outside the valley, with three characters engraved on it..." The voice stopped, and cold sweat broke out on Bajiao's forehead, like raindrops.

Zang Li ate the black-faced dim sum beside her, her cheeks were bulging like a fat squirrel, and she couldn't speak clearly: "You can't read, how do you know it's Butterfly Valley?"

A cold snort overflowed from Xu Sheng's throat, his smiling eyes became slits, Xu Sheng smoothed out the pitted nails with a jade file, blew lightly on his fingertips, and said leisurely: "I've been talking about it for a long time, so it turns out that I'm trying to deceive people What?" He turned around and waved his hand, letting the black face drag him away.

"My lord! Look at this, this wooden sign was given to me by the owner of the valley, and there are engravings on it." Seeing that his life was in danger, Bajiao dared to keep the promise, so he immediately confide in the shit, "You need to use this to enter the valley. You can only enter with a wooden sign, and with just a little bit of this wooden sign, the poisonous insects with a radius of [-] meters will never come close."

Luo Chen said cursingly: "I haven't told the truth yet, the mountain is full of poisonous insects, how did you get into the valley?"

The wooden sign hadn't been used for many years and it was already full of rotten dirt, Xu Sheng used a towel to hold it for a while, but he couldn't see the words engraved on the sign, so he handed it to the black face and said: "Go clean it and bring it."

Bajiao kept waving his hands and said: "Those poisonous insects came out half a year after I entered the valley. They didn't exist at first. Later, I heard from the old mother in the valley that they were added later because there were many people breaking into the valley." He didn't dare to stop bleeding, "My lord, I'm telling the truth."

Huai Mingmo couldn't listen anymore, and said softly: "Don't knock it, just tell the truth." Although Bajiao is a farmer in the mountains, he has good eyesight. He secretly observed Huai Mingmo, and found Xu Sheng's body after hearing it. The hostility was a little less, and he was obedient immediately and didn't bow his head again.

Seeing the wet wooden sign brought by Hei Mian, Chen Xiang frowned slightly and cut it off halfway, wiped it clean with a handkerchief, and then brought a new handkerchief to padded it before sending it to Xu Sheng.The word Acacia appeared in front of his eyes, Xu Sheng looked serious, he picked up the wooden sign and brought it to the tip of his nose to smell it carefully, although the sign had been washed clean, but the sweat had soaked into the wooden sign all the year round, the faint smell of sweat made Xu Sheng nauseous, a little Pulling it away, he suddenly smelled the aroma of medicine and wine.

Throwing the wooden sign back casually, he drained it with the jasmine water on the black side, "Is there anyone in that valley now?"

Bajiao shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Pushing and moving, even the most patient people will be worn out by him. Xinli said impatiently: "If you have it, you have it, if you don't, you don't have it. I don't know what it means. I think this person is dishonest."

"I really don't know." Ba slapped his thigh anxiously, crying bitterly, "I moved here 15 years ago. This place is the border between the two countries. Western Shu and Northern Meng don't care much, so it's very chaotic. 15 years ago, bandits came here, and I thought I couldn’t live on, so I took my wife and son to live in Xishu.”

Xu Sheng asked coldly: "Do you still remember the way to that valley?"

"Remember, at that time I had to go there three times a month. Although I hadn't been here for 15 years, I still remembered the route. I can draw a route for you." Bajiao thought he was smart.

Chen Xiang threw out the cloth bag, because the gold inside rolled down to the ground, shining brightly, "This is a hundred taels of gold. When you lead the way to Butterfly Valley, there will be a hundred taels of gold to reward you."

Bajiao is a sincere commoner. Where has he seen so much money? The hand holding the cloth bag couldn't help shaking. After a while of bowing, "Big sister..." He crawled to Xu Sheng's feet, "Master, I can't go, Lord Gu knows that I brought you in, the whole family can't keep it."

The sharp voice was in his ears, Xu Sheng covered his ears and sighed, he hadn't felt so powerless for a long time, "If you yell again, the whole family will be hard to keep."

Bajiao was so frightened that he stopped talking immediately, Chen Xiang said coldly: "You have two choices, take care of the matter, or wait for your family to go to the funeral."

Staring helplessly at the gold all over the floor, thinking that it will be doubled after the event is completed, it will be a death anyway, and at least it can give his son a future, so anxious, he pulls the scattered gold to the front and cleans it up neatly After wrapping it up, he patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely take you to the Taniguchi."

Since people who are familiar with the mountains are leading the way, it is much easier to move forward. The wooden sign brought by Bajiao will lose its medicinal effect after a long time, so it is not a big problem to protect them from being eaten by insects.This Bajiao is also considered an honest person, and the things he should answer are not vague at all, and the road he leads is indeed easy and shortcut.

A group of people walked for about five days, and came to a dark valley. The sound of the waterfall was rumbling. In front of the stele, the words Hehuan Valley are impressively engraved on the stele.

The black-faced leader grabbed Bajiao's lapel, pointed to the words on the stele, and said angrily, "Who asked you to bring us to Hehuan Valley."

"Stop, let's go in." Xu Sheng couldn't lose his temper, and walked in slowly.

Huai Mingmo chewed these three words, and suddenly realized: "The Jianghu said that Huiji Lianxin came from Butterfly Valley because no one knew what it was called, but Mr. Butterfly was famous, and I heard that she came from the valley and countryside, so Random life. Hehuan Zhai, Hehuan Valley, so that’s how it is.”

Bajiao followed behind in fear, lowered his head vigilantly, and looked left and right out of the corner of his eye, afraid that someone would run out suddenly and kill him.
