Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 49

"..."

Xue Ruhu's eyes were full of surprise.

Looking at the fox who turned his face faster than the book, he was a little unresponsive in his mind.

Master Huqiu nodded in satisfaction:

"Qing Kong, have you ever been to Dharma Wall?"

"Amitabha, thank you, Special Envoy."

Ching Kung sings the Buddha's name.

Silently walked among the group of fainted monks, closed the six senses, and said nothing.

And the fox who saw all this in his eyes bypassed Mr. Huqiu, and when passing by, his eyes glanced at the fox fur on him.

Without saying anything, he came to his companion and checked for a while, then said:

"I need an hour."

"That's natural."

Master Huqiu agreed very happily:

"It shouldn't be difficult for you to hide your eyes. After a while, you will bring those little brats out from the north gate. Naturally, no one will embarrass you. General Xue~"

"The end is here."

Lord Huqiu pointed at the unconscious Li Zhen:

"Take him and let's go."

"Yes."

Picking up the naked Li Zhen, the two of them were about to walk down the ramp one after the other when Master Huqiu paused:
"By the way, fox, what's your name?"

"..."

The fox standing beside his companion hesitated for a moment, then replied:
"Muci."

"Mu Ci?"

Lord Huqiu pondered for a moment, then nodded:

"It's a good name. My name is Li."

"...Only one surname?"

"As for the name... If I can see you again in this life, let's talk about it."

With that said, he went straight down the ramp and walked away step by step.

……

When Li Zhen woke up again, he was awakened by a burst of fragrance.

Opening his eyes in a daze, he saw a bonfire and the chicken on top of it.

"Cuckoo~"

Suddenly, his stomach growled.

At this time, a voice sounded in his ear:

"woke up?"

"Uh……"

Hearing this voice, he propped himself up and sat up slowly.

Looking for the sound, he saw Lord Huqiu sitting beside the fire.

He was sitting on his tattered futon, still covered by a bamboo hat, looking extremely mysterious.

"..."

Li Zhen looked down at the new Taoist robe on his body, and felt the bandage under his Taoist robe again. After a moment of silence, he cupped his hands and asked:

"Dare to ask my lord..."

"You want to ask that beggar?"

"Ah."

"I have brought those children down the mountain. Before leaving, I kowtowed to you a few times."

"...Thank you, my lord."

"Well, Taoist priest, I don't know something."

"Sir, please speak."

"all of these."

Master Hu Qiu turned to look at him:

"All of this is just because of that beggar?"

"..."

Li Zhen thought for a while, but did not answer his question directly, but asked instead:
"Then why did the adults do all this?"

"I?"

Master Huqiu let out a chuckle:
"What do you think?"

He threw the question back again.

And Li Zhen shook his head:
"The minds of adults are deep in the sea, and Xiaodao dare not speculate."

"Don't dare? Or don't want to?"

As soon as the words fell, the fire that was burning silently in the Sanqing Palace suddenly shook.

"Oh? And murderous intentions... Haha~ Taoist priest, I saved your life, but you want to repay your kindness with revenge. Is this what you cultivated according to your heart?"

"..."

Li Zhen was speechless, but walked to the fire and sat down cross-legged.

Without any scruples, he took off the chicken that was roasting on the fire, smelled the smell, and took a bite directly, regardless of the high temperature.

The chicken was roasted very tender and fragrant, and the fat fell down his chin and landed on his brand new Taoist robe in one bite.

He didn't care, he just gnawed on it.

Lord Huqiu didn't say much, and watched him silently eating the roast chicken like a wild beast.

It wasn't until he watched him bite off the chicken head without even spitting out the bones, and it creaked as he chewed, that he asked:
"What? Think I'm a chicken?"

"Don't dare."

Li Zhen shook his head:
"I just want to experience the mood of adults."

"Oh?"

There was some surprise in Master Huqiu's voice:

"My mood? How do you say it?"

"I want to feel the feeling of being free to kill this chicken and doing whatever I want."

"..."

Lord Fox Qiu was taken aback.

After a moment of silence, he asked:

"How does it feel?"

After asking this question, Li Zhen's movements slowed down.

Holding the half of the chicken left, he thought about it and asked:
"My lord led me down today because he wanted me to kill that Taoist?"

"good."

"And my lord came here to Qiemo, also because of that Taoist...or to be more precise, because of the things in the alchemy furnace?"

"Exactly."

"But now that the alchemy furnace has been destroyed, and the Taoist priest Qiu has also died, my lord has no people and money, but he didn't stop him, but became the person who fueled the flames... Is it possible that my lord spared my life just to finish listening to me?" The half of "Nine Heads Case"?"

As he spoke, he held the chicken and looked up at Lord Huqiu.

His eyes were calm, but there was a hint of doubt.

"My lord...what exactly do you want to do?"

Hearing this, Lord Huqiu casually threw some dead branches into the fire.

I don't see how he did it, these dead branches burned blazingly when they were put into the fire. Originally it was just a small bonfire, but the flames shot out a few feet high.

In Li Zhen's induction, the originally cold qi in this world suddenly became manic, and transformed into hot qi in an instant.

Then he saw the flames of the bonfire come alive.

It is truly alive.

Breaking away from the fire, they emerged out of thin air, gathering little by little to form a vague outline.

Among the silhouettes, one can vaguely see that it is a magnificent building, and there is a person standing at the entrance of the building.

At this time, Lord Huqiu's voice sounded.

"Taoist, have you ever understood the world?"

"... I don't know much about it."

Hearing this, Master Huqiu said to himself:

"That's right, Qimo is just a small frontier town. You poor Taoist don't talk about the general trend of the world. You can't even have food and clothing. It's normal not to understand. Then let me tell you, anyway, this long night is long, are you willing to listen? "

Li Zhen looked at the picture made of flames in the air, and took another bite of the chicken in his hand.

"That's what the adults say."

"Then do you know who is the person in this painting?"

"..."

Li Zhen glanced at him, turned his mind, and asked tentatively:

"His Majesty?"

"You're smart."

Hearing this compliment, Li Zhen said nothing.

Anyone with a discerning eye can actually guess it, after all, the figure in the portrait is still wearing the Heavenly Crown.

I don't know what kind of realm this Master Huqiu is, to be able to control the flames to such an extent...

Another question popped up in his mind.

At this moment, Lord Huqiu continued to speak, and recited a poem:

"Tomoshiro in front of Changbai Mountain, wearing red brocade back crotch.

The long spear invades the sky for half a day, and the round knife shines in the sun.

Go up the mountain to eat roe deer, and go down the mountain to eat cattle and sheep.

Suddenly hearing the arrival of the officers and soldiers, he raised his knife and swung forward.

For example, when Liaodong died, how could he be beheaded? "

Li Zhen knew this poem.

It's called "Dead Song of Wuxiang Liaodong Wave".
