The monk who is going to cross me is bent

The cold wind blowing at night, Chi Wang jumped off the city wall and left the imperial capital.

Taking advantage of the cover of night, he galloped across the plain at high speed.

Sandstone asked worriedly: "Chi Wang, are you okay?"

Chi Wang's eyes were still faintly red, and his reaction speed was slower than usual: "The upgrade you just mentioned... will there be any changes?"

Shashi replied fearfully: "I want to upgrade myself first. Now that I have enough energy, I can run at full power. After that, I want to give priority to decoding some sections of Bai Xiaosheng."

"Then you do it."

Unexpectedly, Shashi said: "Your current situation...is not right. I have to make sure that you are back to normal before I can leave with confidence and upgrade."

Chi Wang sneered and stopped talking.

Sha Shi carefully observed Chi Wang, since Chi Wang killed that Bai Xiaosheng, something was not quite right, even the ups and downs of his emotions were more sensitive than usual.

According to Chi Wang's route, Sha Shi found that he was quickly approaching Mu Beixi's tomb.

At dawn, Chi Wang arrived at Mu Beixi's tomb, opened the door of the tomb, and plunged in.

After more than an hour, Chi Wang finally found what he was looking for in his cold tomb.

After entering the extremely cold tomb, Chi Wang seemed to be in a calmer state. He sat cross-legged on the treasure, untied a delicate bag with red eyes, took out a handful of things from it, and stuffed it into his mouth .

One mouthful, click, click, the bulging bag deflated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The redness in Chi Wang's eyes slowly dissipated, and he sighed: "I really like a cooler place."

Seeing that he looked much more normal, Shashi finally felt relieved: "What are you eating?"

"Snow lotus seeds." Chi Wang ate half of the bag, and said calmly, "It has been stored for hundreds of years, and the taste is not as fresh as when it first came down, but it is barely edible."

Shashi asked hesitantly: "It's been left for so long, will it really not hurt my stomach if I eat it?"

Chi Wang: "...it's so cold here, although the taste is not fresh, but if you eat it, it shouldn't hurt your stomach, right?"

This is a question that even gravel can't answer. It seems that only time can verify everything.

Chi Wang silently put down the bag of snow lotus seeds, and for a while, he and Sandstone fell silent.

Sha Shi wondered: "I thought you were taking some panacea. You looked a bit wrong just now. Could eating the seeds of snow lotus be enough for you?"

"It's mainly because it's cool here, and if you eat some meditation food, you'll be quite calm."

Chi Wang seemed to have completely recovered. After eating half a bag of snow lotus seeds, he returned to lie in his coffin.

"What happened to you just now, Chi Wang? I'm a little worried, please answer me well."

Chi Wang lay quietly in the coffin, "It's a matter of the inner strength and mentality I practiced. I was eager for success in my early years and chose the most risky path. Later, I improved this set of exercises so that future generations will not have to worry about it when they practice. , will repeat my detour... But you don't have to worry, I have many ways to deal with it after so many years."

"Find a cold place and stuff two mouthfuls of snow lotus seeds?" Sha Shi wondered, "But if you are outside and can't return to the tomb in time, or you don't have any snow lotus seeds to eat, what will happen to you?"

Chi Wang didn't seem worried: "I still have one or two very effective methods, but I don't like to use them... Actually, the seeds of snow lotus are quite delicious, especially when they are just picked from the Tianshan Mountains. Eat it in the snow, the low temperature seals the bitterness, so the snow lotus seeds taste sweet and crisp, very refreshing."

Now Shashi is not interested in the various ways of eating snow lotus seeds, he actually wants to ask Chi Wang, Bai Xiaosheng's words before he died.

But he didn't dare to ask, he still hasn't figured out why Chi Wang's state is not right.

What does it mean that Zhuang Yan won't let him kill any more?Sha Shi couldn't figure it out, ever since he knew Chi Wang, he had only seen him save people, but he had never seen him kill people...Of course, except for Bai Xiaosheng.

Chi Wang had killed someone before?What has he done?

Sandstone pressed the question, did his own pre-upgrade inspection, and said to Chi Wang: "I want to leave you temporarily to upgrade."

"Whatever." Chi Wang closed his eyes, "I'm sleepy, I'll sleep for a while, you can do whatever you want."

There was a clear sound of jade hitting, and the sand and stone disappeared from Chi Wang's mind.

Chi Wan closed his eyes, and when he seemed to be sleeping and waking up, he suddenly felt something and opened his eyes.

He saw again... that piece of snow without any ups and downs.

The snowfield was boundless, and he didn't know how he got here.But if this is a dream, it is obviously unreasonable to dream of the same dream several times in a row.

The last time he passed out in front of Zhuang Yan's tomb, it was the first time he saw this snowfield, and this seemingly endless snowfield actually had boundaries.

On the other side of the border, there is a garden frozen in snow.

The ice tendril that was frightened by him last time and ran all over the ground did not appear this time.Although there is no external force to help him distinguish the boundary line, Chi Wang seems to have an indescribable feeling.

He closed his eyes, as if he knew where the boundary was.

He followed the feeling for a long time, and actually walked back to the snowy garden again.

As soon as he entered, he saw the ice tendril on the snow last time, tilted his head to look at Chi Wang, and suddenly saw him appear, and instantly remembered the fear of being dominated by Chi Wang last time, and turned his head and ran away in fright.

Chi Wang stood where he was, looking around the garden.

The garden is already a little different.

The last time I came here, it was completely frozen and snowy, sealed by the thick and severe cold, and there was no life at all.

But this time when he came in, Chi Wang looked at the frozen stream, half of the ice had melted, although there were still floating ice and white snow on the water surface, but the stream had flowed again, and it was no longer completely frozen like before. .

Walking along the road I remembered last time, the ice flower on the ground was still there, and the ice tendrils hung on the ice flower like a scarf and shivered.

It's just that the statue made of snow that was on the ground is gone.

Chi Wang paused. In this continuous illusion, the original appearance of the snow sculpture, at first glance, he felt like a living thing. Now that the ice melted, the statue ran away with long legs?

At this moment, Chi Wan heard a small voice behind him.

Chi Wang chased after him.

Seeing Chi Wang chasing after him, the thing that made the sound turned and ran away, but Chi Wang chased after him, and finally blocked him in the corner of a rockery.

Chi Wang's voice gave people an invisible sense of oppression: "Come out, what are you running for?"

After hearing that, the thing hid further inside without saying a word, as if it was very aggrieved.

As long as Chi Wang turns a corner and walks to the other side of the rockery, he can pull this thing out.Seeing that he couldn't come out by himself at this time, Chi Wang simply raised his foot and prepared to do it himself.

He walked around the rockery, and when he was about to take out this wandering thing to find out, he was suddenly kicked out of the illusion.

Chi Wang suddenly sat up from the coffin, looked around, his expression became serious.

He went to the same illusion twice in a coma, even if it was really just a dream, it didn't seem like a coincidence.

"What the hell is that?" Chi Wan frowned.

The voice of sand and stone sounded faintly: "You are really unreasonable, and you are still playing a hooligan."

Chi Wang was stunned for a moment: "I...playing a hooligan? Where does this come from?"

Sandstone choked for a moment, feeling aggrieved and unable to say anything, and finally said depressedly: "Chi Wang, you are too cunning. After this upgrade, I decrypted the records left by the previous system. You took advantage of me. Now you are smart, just trick me."

Chi Wang said coldly: "Are you smart now? Who gave you such an illusion? Wake up."

Sandstone almost cried.

Chi Wang comforted him: "It's good that I'm in charge of using my brain, at least compared to the last female voice system, you're quite cute."

When it came to business, Chi Wang also corrected his attitude: "What do you gain from upgrading this time? Before you came, what was the female voice system that restricted me, and the Bai Xiaosheng I killed? Bai Xiaosheng I have always cared about the 'we' that Xiaosheng said."

Sandstone replied: "The previous female voice system, to be precise, she can't be called a system. Her composition is similar to Bai Xiaosheng's, more like a kind of...consciousness. And Bai Xiaosheng's 'we' , I don’t think he’s referring specifically to people.”

"Chi Wang, I still can't understand it very well, but it seems... I can continue to upgrade and slowly understand that state."

"A kind of...consciousness?" Chi Wan narrowed his eyes and said, "One flower, one world, one leaf, one Tathagata? Is that what you mean?"

"It's a bit similar, but not quite the same." Sandstone's voice, compared with before, even has a lot more ups and downs in tone, "We still have a lot of time, Chi Wang, the interference caused by our joint efforts is not alarming at present That consciousness, we have an advantage in the dark, we have to take our time."

Chi Wang nodded and said nothing.

"And this matter, I must tell you." Sandstone's voice sounded very serious, "Chi Wang, do you still remember the process that I told you... hanging on you? After killing Bai Xiaosheng, it changed a lot, I can't understand this, and your state..."

Chi Wang jumped out of the coffin and interrupted the sand and stone: "Speaking of this, I remembered something important."

Sandstone became nervous: "What's wrong?"

Chi Wang said solemnly: "I have eaten those snow lotus seeds for hundreds of years, and I haven't had a bad stomach until now."

Sandstone: "..."

Chi Wang ate up the remaining half bag of snow lotus seeds, and said leisurely: "Let's go, let's go to Tianshan to pick some fresh ones to eat."

Shashi understood that Chi Wang didn't want to talk about this issue, so he had to shut up aggrieved.

Chi Wang also found out that after the upgrade, Shashi seems to be a little smarter than before - he can see his face and won't bother him with everything, which is really gratifying.

Chi Wang slept in the tomb for five or six days. After he crossed the river, he met Yu Yu briefly in Yuangang City, Jiangbei, and stuffed ten silver notes on him.

Yu Yu picked it up and looked at it, his eyes were straight. This is a bank that has been in business for more than 700 years. The bank note is stamped with the stamp of the head office, and it is still valid today.

He almost fainted. In his whole life, he never imagined that he would touch such a huge amount.

Chi Wang said very generously: "Go, buy me all the bookstores you see. When you find Mr. Peach Blossom, let me control him... I like this kid."

Yu Yu thought of the fragrant Longyang Wen of Mr. Tao Hua, and looked at Chi Wang's smile in front of him, and there was a slight weirdness hidden in it.

Thinking that he might have seen the truth, Yu Yu suddenly showed a terrified expression, instantly filled out many indescribable scenes in his mind, and agreed with fear.

The plague in Jiangbei has been well controlled.He had no sex at the main entrance, but in only five days, he showed amazing mobility. Just a few days after Chi Wan took the bank note to him, Chi Wan saw immediate results in Jiangbei.

The resources of Lanshantang in the Jiangbei faction in the past have increased in scale visible to the naked eye. Baskets of fresh medicinal materials have been sent from the south to the opposite side of the river in an endless stream. In the name of Lanshantang, the shortage of medicinal materials in Jiangbei has been solved. .

Chi Wang was very satisfied when he saw this, so he stopped worrying about Lan Shantang's movements and rushed all the way to the north by himself.

After passing the Beidi Mountains, that is the Tianshan Mountains.This is the headquarters of the Tianshan Sect, but Chi Wang didn't care.

If you want to attack Chi Wang, it's not something that others can succeed if they think about it.Chi Wang was frank and frank all the way, without covering up his whereabouts.

All the way to the north, in some small towns where resources are scarce, the doctors in the Northland have not come so fast, and Chi Wan has saved some plague patients.

But Chi Wang has a clear goal this time, which is the snow lotus seeds on the top of Tianshan Mountain.He walked one after another for more than a month before reaching the foot of Tianshan Mountain.

Going north along the road, Chi Wang discovered a strange phenomenon—the closer he was to Tianshan Mountain and into the core area of ​​Tianshan Sect, the fewer plague patients he saw.

When he reached the foot of Tianshan Mountain, he hardly saw a plague patient again.The people here look healthy, even if they live under the snow-capped mountains, they still have ruddy complexions, and they look far away from diseases and disasters.

Sandstone took the initiative to exchange his views with Chi Wang: "The Tianshan Cultists we saw last time mentioned their leader, and it seems that there is a way to control the plague. But if the plague, such a disaster, can be artificially controlled... ...how horrific that is."

Chi Wang looked calm: "It's not impossible to do it. If there are people in Tianshan Sect like me who specialize in medicine and poison... well, let's wait and see."

At this time, Shashi still didn't understand the unfinished meaning of Chi Wang's words. It was not until two years later that he realized that Chi Wang had already seen clearly the future layout plan of Tianshan Sect as early as this moment.

It's not that he doesn't understand, it's just that he doesn't care.

The town houses at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains are rolling up and down, and all the facilities are available. Although it is not as prosperous as Yuangang City, the largest city in the Northland, it has become the leading city in the Northland.

Chi Wang was walking on this street, chatting with Sha Shi: "A hundred years ago, this land was still the grasslands and yurts of the barbarians. You can see how amazing it has developed in just a hundred years."

Unexpectedly, Shashi opened his mouth and continued: "Indeed, in the first ten years before the Hu people surrendered, there were frequent small movements in the north, especially when Fang Wu, the founding emperor of the Zhong Dynasty, was seriously ill, there were frequent riots here. Later, the second Zhong Dynasty After the first emperor Fang Er succeeded, he and General Ban personally fought here for three years before he cleaned up the barbarians."

"The emperor's class teacher returned to the court, but Prime Minister Ji stayed in Tianshan for more than ten years. He built the city and paved roads, and managed it in an orderly manner. Now the streets you walk on are all built according to the blueprints he drew back then."

"After you upgraded this time, you know a lot of things. Before I asked you to tell me what happened in the past, you didn't know what to do, but now it's very different." Chi Wang looked calm, but what he said, But somewhat revealing a little bit of nostalgia and relief, "The Prime Minister Ji you mentioned was once my friend, please tell me what happened to him afterwards."

"When Prime Minister Ji was here, it was the most prosperous place in hundreds of years. The barbarians stopped rebelling, and they were all learning Chinese, sending noble children to study in the imperial capital. People of all ethnic groups were here. Live and work in peace and contentment. The shoe education never appeared under his rule."

Sandstone said: "Even a shoe sect like the Tianshan Sect has been belittling the influence of the Zhong Dynasty royal family in the Northland for decades, but after a hundred years, they have to admit that Ji Cheng is more important than the Northland Mountains. Wealth and stability, has made an indelible contribution."

"After a hundred years, the people in the north are still grateful for Prime Minister Ji's kindness. His tomb is in the city. And not far from the tomb, there is a tavern that Prime Minister Ji himself opened when he was alive."

Chi Wang repeated softly: "He opened... a tavern?"

"It's been open for more than 100 years, and it's at the corner of the next street, three hundred steps to the south." Sandstone's voice was very clean, "I think you should go there, Chi Wang."

The appearance of the tavern is very eye-catching, from a long distance, you can see a wooden sign on the street, with a huge "ji" character on it, no one who passes by will recognize it wrong.

Chi Wan walked in, the charcoal fire in the store was warm, it was still early, and the tavern had just opened for business.

The tavern is not big, and there are not many customers. Seeing that Chi Wang was dressed like a doctor, Xiao Er first asked, "What's your surname, guest officer?"

It's just for drinking, why do you ask your last name?Chi Wang hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Your surname is Chi."

Upon hearing this, the guests sitting at the table near the door immediately turned their heads to look at Chi Wang, with a very disdainful expression on their faces, "Tsk tsk, another one came to play the autumn wind and eat free food."

When Chi Wang heard it, his doubts became more and more serious.

But the waiter's attitude did not change at all, "Guest officer, you go inside."

After leaving the table, he took the drink card handed over by Xiaoer, just as Chi Wang started to look through it, he heard the waiter say: "This is a rule handed down from Prime Minister Ji, all doctors surnamed Chi in this shop are free of charge for drinks. "

Chi Wang finally showed astonishment.

But the little second suddenly asked: "I have a distant cousin... the neighbor of his uncle's aunt's nephew had a stroke, and half of his body was paralyzed. He asked the doctor to prescribe a 'Bazhen Soup', but there was nothing. As a result, judging by the young master's dress, he must be a doctor, so why not?"

At that moment, Chi Wang already understood the meaning of the old man, he suppressed his complicated emotions, and replied: "...Because the evil wind rides on the five viscera, we should first explore the ups and downs of the evil wind, and then prescribe the right medicine."

Xiao Er's face changed, and he ran out stomping on the ground. Not long after, a tall man walked into the tavern.

After the man came in, the guests in twos and threes in the tavern fell silent for an instant, all watching the man's movements.

The man went straight to Chi Wang, and asked, "Then what medicine should be prescribed? Should it be a temporary solution or a permanent solution?"

The conversation with Lao Ji a hundred years ago seems to be in sight.Chi Wang closed his eyes halfway, and said slowly, "Either you take wind-dispelling medicine as your ruler, and tonic medicine as your minister's envoy; or you take nourishing medicine as your ruler, and you take evil-dispelling medicine as your minister's envoy. Also. If it is urgent, it will treat the symptoms, and if it is slow, it will treat the root."

The man let out a "huh" and was silent for a moment, then he suddenly came back to his senses and strode towards the back kitchen.

After a while, he walked back to the store with a jar of wine in one hand and put it on Chi Wang's table.

There was still mud on the jar of wine, obviously it had just been dug out from the soil, the body of the jar felt damp and cool, and the dense aroma of wine came through the jar, instantly filling the entire tavern.

The guests in the tavern were all alarmed. They looked at the man at Chi Wang's table, no one dared to shout loudly, they only whispered to each other: "What kind of wine is this, why is it so fragrant?"

The man clasped his fists at Chi Wang: "This altar of wine has been buried under the tree in the courtyard for 100 years, and now it has finally arrived at its destination."

"Fengyun Villa has been stationed here for a hundred years, and it has finally lived up to the legacy of Prime Minister Ji and fulfilled the entrustment of the ancestors... Young Master Chi, use it slowly."

The author has something to say:

Sandstone: Chasing me and running around, you are a hooligan~!

Yu Yu: Uh... is the sect master trying to play hooligans?

Chi Wang:? ? ?When did I become a hooligan?
