Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 393 392. I Like to Eat Boiled Chicken

"...Master servant?"

Carefully getting to the front of the car, it looks like Erha who has done something wrong and demolished the house, and is probing other people's "mouth".

In fact, Li Zhen was also cursing in the street.

You bastard bastard suddenly popped up out of nowhere, what kind of advice should you ask my second master?

The birthday boy hanged himself, do you think it's too long?
My second master's method... I can't even understand it.

Maybe one day, a smashing Varudo will pop up.what about you?What else would you do besides playing with fire?
Don't you know that children play with fire and urine kang?

When I was knocked back to my own time and was looking for my "anchor point" all over the sky, after being woken up by a finger, before I could ask my concern, the second master pointed at the carriage , After telling himself "drive the car for Li Shilang overnight and then go back", he hurriedly asked why the two were fighting, and after a reason of "just discussing each other" came out, Li Laodao came to the car speechlessly.

But let's be honest.

He feels very good at the moment.

The temperature just now was like just coming out of a sauna room. What I want to do the most is not to drive a car, but to jump into the Iraqi water with a sackcloth and rub my back well.

That temperature is really comfortable.

But there is no way, the teacher's order is hard to break.

But when he got to the car, he just yelled, when he heard the sound of men and women arguing in the car:

"Taoist, do you know the way to Hebei?"

"Hebei?"

Li Zhen was taken aback.

Although the location and name are similar to those of later generations, Hebei here is not a "province", but refers to the counties and counties of "Hejian, Boling, Xindu, and Zhaodi".

The location is not bad, but the scale is a lot smaller.

He shook his head sincerely:

"do not know……"

"Is that so..."

Just listen to the voice in the car say:
"Let's go, all the way to the north, I will tell you how to go. Go to Xiangcheng first. Remember to bring your horse."

"..."

Li Zhen turned around subconsciously, only to realize that Xuan Suning had left at some point.

No way, let's go.

He nodded:

"My lord, wait a moment."

He quickly ran to the private house, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a group of soldiers shivering around Lao Zheng and the others...

Obviously, although Tianwei was not seen just now, the momentum had frightened them.

Li Zhen quickly said:
"That's the teacher was discussing with friends who passed by and came to visit. Don't worry, everyone is fine. Go to sleep."

Today is the last day in Luhun, and he will leave tomorrow.

The group of them must hurry up and rest.

As he spoke, he cupped his hands and came to the stable in the courtyard. After pulling out Zhai Lei, he shouted:
"Teacher, I'm going."

No one responded.

Without thinking too much, Li Zhen came to the carriage, tied Zhui Lei to the back of the carriage, and jumped directly onto the crossbar.

Pull the reins:

"drive!"

The carriage rolls away.

Gradually disappeared into the night.

……

By heart.

Li Zhen felt that he could already be called a veritable "veteran driver".

Under his control, the carriage ran very smoothly.

Occasional bumps, but nothing major.

People who want to ride in the car should be very comfortable.

At least, he thought so.

The only thing that is not beautiful is the drizzle on the sky, when the carriage is driving, it hits the face, there is a feeling of... being scratched by animal hair.

Blown by the spring breeze of the night, it looked a little cold and uncomfortable.

Because there is no moon, the whole road is dark.

That is to say, practitioners can see at night, otherwise it is definitely the best choice to find a place to stay for a night in this weather.

Xiangcheng County has to go out of Hongnong first, and arrive at the border of Yuzhou... Eh?

Thinking of the destination, Li Zhen suddenly reacted.

its not right.

If you want to go to Hebei, shouldn't the shortest way be to go back to Luoyang first, then go north from Luoyang, pass Changping, Shangdang, and Yanjing City, which is still called "Youzhou" at the moment?

Xiangcheng is in the south of Luoyang, so how could you take a detour there?

After reacting, he quickly turned his head and said in the direction of the car:

"Lord servant."

"Silence all the way, finally willing to speak?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, a voice came from inside.

Li Zhen was taken aback...

Where does the heart say this?

This is less than ten miles away...

But right now the business is important, he said directly:

"Master Shi Lang, this road...wrong choice? Why go to Xiangcheng first? Isn't that a long detour?"

Hearing this, the voice in the carriage sounded:
"Want to know?"

"..."

For some reason, Li Zhen felt that the other party's expression at this time must be "Want to know? Come and beg me, you".

But he still said honestly:

"I'm just afraid of delaying my lord's journey."

"Huh~"

Inside the car, a chuckle sounded, and then the voice asked again:
"Taoist, let me ask you, do you dare to confide in me?"

"..."

Li Zhen was taken aback again.

My heart said... what happened to Mr. Huqiu today?
Why is it a bit strange...

After thinking about it, he chose the safest way:
"My lord is just joking. You can ask whatever you want, Xiao Dao will definitely know everything."

"Oh? Really?"

"Ok!"

Little did he know that after he finished speaking, a smile appeared on the corner of the woman's mouth in the car.

"Then I want to ask you, Taoist priest. When I came out, I was treated as a god in Hongnong and Shangluo, and I didn't get any money. Why didn't I even leave a reputation? Why? Could it be possible to show yourself once before becoming an adult? I found out that the group of people blamed you for this dredging, are you afraid of being scolded?"

"Uh……"

Hearing this, Li Zhen was not surprised that the other party knew about these things.

On the contrary, it is abnormal not to know.

So, while driving, he said with a smile:

"I didn't hide it from my lord after all. But this matter... just casually, it's not worth mentioning, why leave a name?"

"You and Xuan Suning also said that?"

"……no."

"Tell me what you said to her."

"……it is good."

On a rainy night and foggy, the whispers of the Taoist resounded in the carriage.

Bit by bit, every thought, all told.

"So, in the final analysis, is it as you like?"

"Yeah. Xiaodao wants to do it, so he does it. As for paying back or clearing up misunderstandings, Xiaodao doesn't care too much."

In the car, the woman didn't say anything, but subconsciously touched the side cabinet.

There used to be wine in that cabinet.

It's just... She drank it up on the way.

"..."

A trace of regret flashed in her eyes, and she continued to ask:
"But...you didn't say the whole thing, did you? Although this reason may be enough to satisfy Xuan Suning...but you should know that there are very few things in this world that can be hidden from me."

Li Zhen, who was driving the car, also fell silent this time.

After a while, he responded:
"Sure enough, you can't hide it from your lord. That's right, Xiaodao doesn't want to let him get the credit casually. I don't care, but I didn't take the initiative to give it to you. You can't take it."

It didn't say who "he" was, but both of them knew it in their hearts.

Then, the woman heard a voice:
"Your Excellency just asked Xiaodao if he was confidant to you...Xiaodao also wanted to ask you a question."

"Yes, I did it."

"..."

All of a sudden, Li Zhen didn't know what to say.

Only the woman in the car said calmly:

"This matter was hidden from many people in the world. Because they are not very smart. But I know, or I know from the beginning that I can't hide it from you. You are smart, but you just don't care. Besides, I didn't intend to I'm not telling you....Very well, I'll ask you one, and you ask me one, so now I'll ask you. Taoist priest, do you think I'm doing the right thing?"

"..."

After thinking for a moment, Li Zhen shook his head:

"Xiaodao can't figure out why the adults want to be like this...so..."

"Traitor?"

"..."

Li Zhen was speechless.

I could only hear the person in the car muttering to himself:
"For merits and demerits, there are future generations to judge. It doesn't matter whether it will last forever, or betray the country for glory... Taoist, do you know... When the monster clan violates the covenant and sends spies to ambush the capital, what does this represent?"

"……what?"

"The human race has reached its weakest point."

"..."

Perhaps guessing his confusion, the woman in the car continued:
"Back then, the first emperor made a covenant with the Yaozu, and the two parties agreed not to commit any crimes. The regulations of the covenant were drawn out word by word by hundreds of schools headed by famous scholars. For this reason, 32 famous scholars looked In exchange for the decline of the Xiangliu and Qiongqi clans. This period of history seems to be an epic feat of the sages of our human race, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, it is obvious that the first emperor won, why didn’t he win? Drive the monster race to the bitter cold land in the north?"

Li Zhen was taken aback for a moment...but after thinking about it carefully, he came to a conclusion:

"Because...the limit has been reached?"

Hearing this, the eyes of the woman in the car flashed with admiration:
"That's right, it's really reached the limit. The human race wins, and it's a miserable victory. The monster race loses, but they can burn everything. To put it bluntly, everyone can't bear the loss. That's why Shi Huang and the demon emperor made a covenant. And Regardless of whether it is a famous family, or Xiangliu, Qiongqi, and Qingqiu clans, why do you have to compare pennies and buckles in the covenant where the outcome of the war is already known, and deduct every word?
The fundamental reason is because...everyone understands...this battle is not over yet.The monster clan needs to rest and recuperate, and the flames of war will resume when the power is accumulated.The human race also needs to rest and recuperate. All schools of thought must pass on their own theories, and hand them over to future generations to perfect them.Let the descendants become stronger, have more children, and recruit more soldiers to resist the invasion that will come at any time! "

As soon as she said this, Li Zhen realized something was wrong, and directly refuted:

"But that's not true. Whether it's the Han Dynasty or the Three Kingdoms, the human race has never been caught in civil strife. Why didn't the monster race come? Among other things, according to historical records, from the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the three families Returning to Jin, more than a million people died? The total population has dropped by more than half. Why didn’t the demon clan invade at that time?”

Li Zhen asked his doubts.

"Taoist, although your question seems to be correct, but you forgot one thing."

"……what?"

"The strength of the practitioner."

"...Strength or weakness?"

"That's right. Lu Bu is among the people, Chitu is among the horses. Martial Saint Guan Yu, Martial God Zhao Yun, great virtuous teacher, immortal Zuo Ci...these brilliance of human reason across history, in the time of the Three Kingdoms, there are countless heroes in the world. Three Kingdoms, A lot of people died, yes.

But if you look carefully, you can see that whether it was during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, during the Three Kingdoms period, or in the end when Wei Wu ruled the roost and Sima aspired to the throne... Do you know how powerful the cultivators in the world are?In terms of individual strength, each of them is not to mention the right person, but the existence of one as ten, one hundred, or even one thousand monsters.

What's more, after many years of war, the tens of thousands of soldiers are full of blood, unparalleled in bravery, people block and kill people, and demons block and eliminate demons.Yaozu?Can the Yaozu dare to commit crimes? ...Of course, this is only one of the reasons.And the most important reason is above the covenant, separated by the Great Wall established by the First Emperor.

The Great Wall was originally intended to defend against the monster race, with the dragon veins of the Qin Kingdom as its foundation, to protect each other from generation to generation... Well, here I have to mention Chisongzi, the ancestor of your Xuanjun view——Zhang Liang..."

"..."

The corner of Li Zhen's mouth twitched.

Good guy, you old man even know this?

Master Huqiu continued to say:

"When the Qin Kingdom fell, the world's dragon veins were unstable. Although the monsters had to rest and recuperate at that time, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, in order to prevent the sudden decline of the Han Dynasty like Qin, caused the flames of the monsters to reignite. After winning the world, it was established. Xuanjunguan guards the dragon veins of the human race. Chisongzi, the first Xuanjunguan master, really impresses the younger generation.

After the establishment of Xuan Jun Temple, he devoted himself to traveling the border for decades, combined with countless alchemist classics, and finally used the power of the whole country to forcibly recreate a dragon vein.And this dragon vein is the Great Wall built by the Seven Kingdoms to defend against the monster race.

Take the prosperity of the human race as the spirit, and take the connection of the dragon veins as the momentum.Taking people as yang and the Great Wall as yin, integrating the dragon-slaying sword of Han Gaozu Dingding Jiangshan as the god, taking the god of soldiers without leaks, Han Xin, the number one master in the world at that time, as his fate, and finally taking Xuanjun Guan as his heart, heart, God, fate, the trinity, the dragon becomes the pulse, and the monster is separated forever.Completely cut off the idea of ​​​​the monster race's invasion. "

"..."

Li Zhen was dumbfounded.

So stupid that I don't know how to complain about this history.

I just feel that the blood in my heart is stirring along with the plain and straightforward words...

But immediately after the agitation, doubts arose:

"Then why... now..."

"Because Han Xin is dead."

"..."

"People are doing it, and the sky is watching. The demon will naturally not be idle... You know, Empress Lu is one body and two souls."

"...???"

Perhaps because he sensed the absurdity in the eyes of the Taoist, there was also a sigh in the voice in the car:
"It's true. The demon clan... really blocked the fate of a clan, planning for decades... for the birth of Empress Lu with one body and two souls, and the demon soul can't hide normally, Waiting for the opportunity. Even when the concept of Xuan Jun was established, it really endured it.

Finally... Han Xin, the number one master in the world who vowed not to betray Han, and loyal to Liu Bang, died in Weiyang Palace.It is not known how many calculations took place during this period, only that Chisongzi took away the luck of Xiao He's clan and paid homage to Han Xin.But this news was kept secret. According to the historical records of the fate of the Yi tribe after Han Xin's death, those tribes actually... belonged to Xiao He.As for Empress Lu... one soul dies, another soul lives, and in the end, it's all good.

It's a bit ironic to say that, you Taoists always say that Dao is fifty and Tianyan is forty-nine, just skip one.Speaking of it... This plan was originally designed to be stable for thousands of years, but after Han Xin's death, there was a flaw left, allowing the monsters to take advantage of it with their own strength... Do you think this is the escape? go to one? "

"..."

Li Zhen didn't know what to say.

can only say……

He really gained knowledge.

But while gaining knowledge, there are inevitably some doubts:
"Then according to what your lord said, starting from fighting against all schools of thought, the descendants of future generations should be stronger from generation to generation, right?"

"It's true. Perfecting the skills, understanding the world, and naturally one generation is better than the next. But the bottom and the middle are stronger. For the high-level... It's compared to talent, compared to the little bit of harmony at the meeting of wind and clouds, it can't be said .”

"I understand what your lord said. It means that the monster race can only attack when the real human race is weak, right?"

"Ah."

"Then why... today, when the cultivation technique is perfect, it gives the Yaozu an opportunity?"

"Because we are becoming more and more aware of this world, and we know more and more...how to be a "human being"."

"..."

The moment he heard this point of view, Li Zhen seemed to understand in a daze.

Yes.

In the early days of the human race and Suigu, they drank blood like hair.

The fire of heaven came to the world and bid farewell to raw meat.

Learned to use fire to keep warm, learned to cover oneself with clothes, and invented "propriety, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom, and faith"...

This is like when there were no mobile phones before, whether the children were watching TV or going out to play, you would never feel bored.But now, after getting used to the convenience brought by mobile phones, how many people would panic if they lost their mobile phones?
Before you didn't have a mobile phone, you would try every means to diversify your entertainment methods for entertainment.But after having a mobile phone... How many children will still play "Star Lighting" or "123 Wooden Man"?
That's the truth.

To put it bluntly, the evolutionary history of the human race is a "history of civilization" that gradually abandons barbarism and becomes civilized.

And Master Huqiu's words mean...

"Are we becoming too civilized?"

"Civilization... Well, this word is quite appropriate. Yes, it is becoming more and more civilized. Do you remember the sword servants in Tianjun Temple?"

"……Remember."

"Do you know how they turned into puppets?"

"...I don't know."

"They were originally ordinary people who couldn't cultivate. But after taking a sword pill, they became cultivators out of dust."

"Sword pill...what is it?"

"In the ancient elixir, when refining, the flesh and blood of the practitioner was used as the medicine. Once the elixir is completed, you can get qi."

"..."

"Actually, I can understand that in ancient times, there were few people and the monster clan was in chaos. In order to quickly find out the immediate combat power that can fight with the monster clan, let those dead or alive people cut off their flesh and blood to refine pills. Medicine, so that more people can shed their blood for the future of the human race...

I can understand.But the problem is... At the time, they didn't have a choice.If the monster race takes control of the Central Plains, the fate of the human race will be unimaginable.But now? ... Those masters in the world back then fought and killed the monster clan for a lifetime.

In order to prolong one's lifespan and prolong one's fighting power, not to mention catching some youngsters and cubs to be used as medicine, what's the point of eating an ordinary person?An ordinary person dies, but those masters can extend their lifespan for a year, and in exchange for this world, dozens or hundreds of young children are born, and thousands or even tens of thousands of people live.Why can't I take this medicine?
But now?Even you, one of the most intelligent and sober Taoists in the world, can't get over the hurdle in your heart, so much so that the two monsters came to Luoyang to fabricate a lie, and you threw your blood on it... What about the others?And have you thought about it?Why are you doing this?Why are other people like this?To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than being taught, learned, and bound by benevolence, righteousness, morality and etiquette.

In this long time, we have learned how to be a "person", but in the same way, there are gains and losses. While learning to be a human being, we also intentionally or unintentionally discarded the barbarism of our ancestors. Act of.In my opinion, there is no good or bad in this matter, but after all...for those monsters, we...are getting weaker and weaker.Is not it? "

While saying these words, Li Zhen found that her clothes were completely soaked without realizing it.

A chill from the bottom of his heart permeated his lungs, making him want to shiver unconsciously.

"And now, let me answer your question. Am I a traitor? That's right. It doesn't matter if I am scolded for thousands of years by people who read history books. But what I have to do is very simple. One, I want to tell those who hide in the dark A message to the people. That is a dead demon from the sky, the meaning is unknown. The emperor lost his virtue, and his virtue is not worthy. I gave them a perfect excuse, if they want to gain momentum... hurry up.

Two, I want to tell all these people who want to fight for the throne, whether it is fighting for the throne or aspiring to be the king of the world.No matter what kind of determination they hold, please don't forget... in the north, the north of the extreme north, our real enemy... is watching us fiercely!We must speed up time, buy time, before the real enemy arrives... get ready!three……"

Speaking of this, there was a sudden silence in the carriage.

Li Zhen waited for a while, then quietly asked:
"……grown ups?"

Just when he was wondering why Master Huqiu stopped talking, he suddenly heard a sigh:
"My time...is running out."

"!!"

A... unspeakable feeling turned into icy coldness, and instantly penetrated the Taoist's clothes, making him unconsciously shudder the biggest shudder ever since he remembered it!
Icy.

It was as if the raindrops had passed through his clothes and flesh and hit his heart.

And like a sharp sword, piercing through the door of the heart.

Incomparably cold, enveloped him:
"What do you mean, my lord!?"

But in the compartment... there was no explanation.

But after traveling for a while, following the hesitant expression on the Taoist's face, an extremely tired voice sounded in the carriage:

"Taoist, do you know what happened in Hedong?"

"...Understood. Wuduan'er is dead, right?"

"...you should know what I'm asking you."

"...Dare to ask my lord, do you have a plan?"

"Ha ha……"

For some reason, Li Zhen heard a slightly sad laughter.

He didn't know what Lord Fox Qiu was laughing at.

But the woman herself knows.

Because he knows himself.

He can think of what he can think of.

But at this moment, even my father, or brothers and sisters are enjoying the joy of victory, but they have completely forgotten...or didn't think of it at all...

This year's Hedong... what will happen to it?

But he understands.

But...she didn't have much time.

so good.

There are people in the world who understand me.

but……

What a pity...

I'm running out of time.

There was a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, his brows and eyes were full of desolation.

But the woman's voice is still calm:

"In Xiangcheng, there is a wealthy merchant named Samurai Xun. Your Majesty will conquer Wagang this year, and there is no money left. I have already negotiated with Pegasus City. Samurai Xun is the next goal. There are still Those rich salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, the Guanlong family can't count on it... Taoist priest, I ask you something, you must answer me sincerely, without any deceit."

Hearing this, Li Zhen subconsciously straightened her waist:

"Sir, please speak."

However, there was silence in the carriage again.

moment……

"If I can't save Hedong...will you blame me?"

"..."

The Taoist was silent for a while, shaking his head:
"will not."

inside the carriage.

The woman smiled silently.

If Xuan Suning is the moon.

Her smile was Yue'er's half-covered face.

Then the smile of the woman in front of her is the brightest sunshine in the world.

It was red.

like a peach blossom,

It's so bright...

"……Taoist priest."

She closed her eyes.

"Ok?"

"Tell me something interesting. Whether it's a story or a gossip, I want to hear it."

"Uh……"

Opened his mouth, the Taoist nodded:

"Okay. Hey, my lord, do you know about chopping chicken for nothing?"

"..."

There was no more sound in the car.

Only the Taoist's own voice paused for a moment, and then it sounded clearly in the dark night:
"I like to eat boiled chicken. Boil a pot of hot water, but it can't be boiled. When it seems to be boiling, put this chicken in hot water and boil it..."

　Wanchang today, the specific situation is to write more while I can.The child had a fever again, and his condition was the same as last time, and he had had a fever for two days.My heart has been chirping for the past two days, I hope this time I can get through it safely.Today is [-] updates, everything will be normal if I can write tomorrow, if there is no update, please forgive me for the sake of this [-] updates.
