Great Sui Storyteller

"Where are the two masters going?"

Lord Huqiu suddenly replaced Li Zhen, and spoke from the carriage.

"Amitabha, the two poor monks are wandering around, and they don't know where to go."

"..."

In the carriage, a smile suddenly appeared on the woman's face:

"That's it... Yunyou is good, Yunyou is good. But if you walk along this road, you will be at the border of Liyang. The place is full of soldiers and horses, so it is not a good place for Yunyou. Why don't you two go somewhere else?"

Hearing this, Liao Ji didn't see any joy or anger on the old man's face, instead he put his hands together and saluted:
"Thank you for the kindness of the benefactor. It's just that I have no desires, so I should trust the horse and let the rein go."

"Ha~"

Suddenly, the curtain of the carriage was lifted.

Master Huqiu stepped on the crossbar of the carriage, condescending.

He was obviously still laughing, but the words under the bamboo hat were murderous:
"I don't know if your beliefs are unlimited. But I said that you can't go on this road, so you can't go on. You can walk, but you can stay. You choose."

"...?"

Instinctively, a hint of doubt appeared on Li Zhen's face.

what's the situation?
Why... it suddenly changed like this.

He quickly looked at the two monks.

Liao Fan's eyes were full of anger.

But he seemed to listen to Ji's words very much, Ji Ji didn't open his mouth, even if he was angry in his heart, he didn't express it.

As for Liaoji, it seems that he is well versed in the way of "listening to people's persuasion to have a full meal".

After hearing this, without any consideration, he led Fan and bowed out of the way:
"Amitabha, thank you benefactor for your reminder. Then... the two poor monks, let's not go."

After speaking, he took three steps back.

Withdrew from the official way.

Then he saluted Li Zhen and Master Huqiu again, turned around and walked back.

Not even hesitation.

"...?"

Just like that, Li Zhen watched him walk away step by step, about a hundred or so steps away, and after he could cover up his voice to the greatest extent, he couldn't help but asked Mr. Fox Qiu:

"My lord, this is..."

Master Fox Fur shook his head slightly:

"Taoist priest, keep an eye on them. I want to know if they have detoured."

"……it is good."

Li Zhen responded.

After Master Huqiu returned to the carriage, he sat on the crossbar and steered the carriage to move forward unhurriedly.

As he walked, he asked:
"Your Excellency, do you think there is something wrong?"

"I hope I'm overthinking it."

Master Huqiu leaned on the cushion, looking up at the white moon above the sky.

The soft moonlight came in through the carriage, just shining on her snow-like skin after taking off her bamboo hat.

The white is soft, and the white is not like anything in the world.

But her eyes were cut off from the moonlight, instead blocked by cloud after cloud of thoughts.

"I always feel...these two monks are lying. But I just can't figure out why they are lying...it's strange."

"Lying? Monks don't tell lies..."

"You don't talk much?"

"..."

A rhetorical question made Li Zhen dumbfounded.

Lord Huqiu was not in the mood to chat, he just yawned and said in a low voice:
"It's rare to feel a little sleepy today, so let's rest after walking for a while."

"it is good."

Li Zhen responded, and then said nothing.

In the silence, the carriage under the moonlight seemed to have solidified into a sculpture, but Li Zhen could still clearly perceive the two monks.

The two monks walked very smoothly.

drift away from him.

After enlightenment, his perception of the Qi mechanism of heaven and earth has reached an elusive state.

It's not that the distance is infinite.

But there is no problem covering at least one city.

And, the more focused your mind is, the more you can "see".

The same goes for these two.

Li Zhen estimated that the distance between himself and them was at least five or six miles.

That's when it starts to get blurry.

After walking a certain distance, when he was thinking about Master Huqiu being overwhelmed, he suddenly felt that the two of them "turned around".

But instead of chasing back, start circling.

And extremely fast.

Although it can't keep up with Xuanzang's frighteningly unscientific supernatural powers after being urged with all his strength, his speed is not slow.

After going around in a big circle, and then walking for about half an hour, I completely faded out of my own feelings.

And the last faded position...

right in front of me.

"..."

Now, he finally understood... Mr. Huqiu was right.

These two bastards... No, these two bald donkeys really deceived your Taoist master!
Subconsciously, he was about to open his mouth to tell Mr. Huqiu about this, but suddenly he felt the steady and abnormal breathing sound inside.

After thinking about it, he shook his head slightly.

Forget it.

It doesn't matter.

So, he walked all night like this.

The good horse from Pegasus City finally let out some tired snorting noises at dawn.

Woke up Master Huqiu who had slept peacefully all night.

And when she saw the sky was getting bright, there was a hint of sobriety in her bewildered eyes.

Then asked:

"Taoist priest, have you been away all night?"

"Well, is your lord awake?"

"...Find a source of water and wash up."

Danyang has a lot of water, and such ditches are everywhere.And Li Zhen has a wide range of perception, so he can easily detect whether there is any cowherd baby in the upper reaches peeing or something.

So he answered:
"Ah."

At this moment, Master Huqiu remembered the two monks from last night and asked:

"How about those two monks?"

"It is indeed a detour. It is five or six miles away from us. Maybe we are sure that we have gone far, so we suddenly changed direction and used some magical powers to quickly overtake us. Looking at that direction, it is direction of the sun."

Immediately, Master Huqiu's good mood when he got up early in the morning was lost by this news.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"My lord has fallen asleep."

"..."

There was silence in the carriage for a while, and then Lord Huqiu's helpless voice sounded:
"You... oh."

"hey-hey."

Li Zhen gave a dry laugh, and looked at a small river in front of him. He didn't know whether it was dug out to irrigate the farmland, or a small river formed naturally. Seeing that the water was quite clear, he reined in the horse.

The carriage was supported by a crossbar, the harness was untied, another piece of bean cake was taken out, and the two horses were allowed to rest on their own.

Fetch water, light a fire, boil water, make tea.

Using cakes and snacks as meals, the two of them were eating when they heard Mr. Huqiu say:
"These two monks give me a bad feeling."

"Well...it's okay."

Li Zhen shook his head slightly:

"Don't worry, my lord."

Hearing this, Lord Huqiu frowned...he said:
"I'm not joking."

"I know~"

Li Zhen also looked serious:
"I'm really good, my lord. Don't use bean bags as dry food~ I'm talking, even if I can't afford it, can I still afford to run? In terms of the ability to escape, Pindao can catch up with Yu if he steps out There are really not many people..."

then.

Three days later.

Master Huqiu heard the whisper of the Taoist next to him:

"My lord, run... or not?"

……

"Report!!!"

Liyang, Gaoyou.

A messenger quickly came to the gate of the main hall of the town guard's mansion, and shouted loudly:
"Director! The three monks invited the general manager, saying that they have important matters to discuss."

"..."

Du Fuwei frowned, glanced at Taoist Tianji who was next to the old god, and replied:
"Okay, I'll go right away."

After the messengers retreated, Du Fuwei asked Tianji:

"Daoist, the three gods were invited by the Taoist alone, and the Taoist has always been in contact with them. Why did they suddenly find Du Mou?"

Tianji smiled slightly:
"Director Du, who possesses the divine power of a vajra dragon and elephant, comes from Buddhism. Speaking of which, he has some relationship with the three gods and monks. You can call yourself a junior, why can't these three come to you?"

"..."

Du Fuwei frowned slightly.

But he didn't ask any more questions, but got up and walked out directly.

Along the way, they passed through a martial arts arena. On the martial arts arena, before the warm spring blossoms, a group of soldiers were bare-chested, and their muscles were carved like knives and axes. It was the time when their prestige was overwhelming.

But the instructors who trained these soldiers were monks who were equally burly and strong.

Du Fuwei didn't care and continued to walk forward.

In the end, he came to a separate small courtyard all the way. He subconsciously slowed down, and his burly body bent down, showing respect.

Shouted softly at the gate of the courtyard:

"Junior Du Fuwei, I am here to pay a visit to the three masters."

After the words fell, Du Fuwei seemed to have noticed something, and raised his head subconsciously.

In an instant, his pupils shrank.

Silently, there was a phantom of a monk in front of him.

Seeing this phantom is erratic and blurred, it seems to have thousands of faces, resembling the appearance of Buddha, resembling people, and resembling me.

ever-changing!

After seeing Du Fuwei raised his head, an ethereal and silent voice sounded:
"Amitabha, Director Du, and monks from the Shicai Temple came to report that the Priest Shouchu and Li Shilang had appeared in the Danyang boundary. The direction of travel is Liyang."

"...?"

There was a gleam in Du Fuwei's eyes:
"Is she really here!?"
-
But facing his question, the phantom didn't mean to answer, but said:

"The struggle for enlightenment ranges from moving mountains to filling seas, and at worst, destroying lives. If there are many believers in Liyang County today, if they are allowed to enter Liyang and fight, innocent people may be injured. Estimate the distance, if you start tonight , should be able to intercept the two of them in two days. I also ask Commander Du to make preparations and arrange things."

Hearing this, Du Fuwei nodded without the slightest hesitation:
"That should be the case. Then... Du will go down and prepare now. Do the three masters have other orders?"

"Amitabha. There is no more, this battle will be exhausted."

"Should be."

Du Fuwei bowed his hands and left.

In less than a hundred breaths, the entire City Lord's Mansion became lively.

One after another, the messengers left with orders.

The elite men and horses in the entire Liyang City began to gather, and the food and supplies should be loaded.

One look at the situation and know that these people are not new recruits, but an army of hundreds of battles.

And Du Fuwei walked into the main hall again, looked at Taoist Tianji who seemed to have never moved his position, and said:

"Li Shilang and that Li Shouchu are coming."

"..."

Tianji was unmoved.

He squinted his eyes as if he didn't hear.

And Du Fuwei asked:
"The Taoist priest has no plan left. I ordered the army to gather and set off tonight. Do you want to go with me, the Taoist priest?"

At this time, Tianji finally opened his eyes.

Then shook his head slightly:

"Pindao will not go. Gaoyou is not a place full of dragon veins, and Pindao is not a master. It will take a few days to find the dragon's veins. This time, there will be three gods and monks to follow Du Jushi. Pindao will use these In time, find the dragon veins, so that you can prepare for the enlightenment of Layman Du when he returns."

"..."

Du Fuwei's face remained motionless at this moment, but there was already a touch of seriousness in his voice:
"This game was designed by the Taoist priest. If the Taoist priest is not the backbone, Du is afraid that he will make a mistake, and if he is careless, he will lose the whole game."

Seriously, and the dissatisfaction in the words is beyond words.

But Tianji laughed.

"Although this campaign was designed by poor Taoists, everything is nothing more than pushing the boat along with the flow. After Xuanzang returned to the monastery from Sangquan, he chose not to practice Buddhism. In the 500 years of the Bodhi Monastery, there was such a Buddha.

It is unreasonable to say that this Buddha is not a Buddha in front of the whole temple.

Anyone who can break the Buddha's heart of a Buddhist disciple to such an extent is the enemy of the Bodhi Temple and even the Buddhist schools in the world.What Pindao did was to give them a name.

Director Du manages Liyang, but it can be said that he is rooted and restricted by the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. The poor Taoist shared the worries of Director Du, and invited the three monks from the Bodhi Temple to come out of the mountain to sit in the town. Funk?

……how?Mr. Du is in charge of this, don't you realize it?If you don't realize the Tao, how can you compete with Li Mi and Dou Jiande? "

"..."

Du Fuwei was speechless after some words.

Instinctively, he squinted his eyes and looked at this Taoist whose cultivation base seemed to be on par with his own, but for some reason, he always felt that seeing him was like seeing something terrifying...

He thought about it and said:
"Isn't the Taoist master proficient in divination?...The departure is imminent, and I don't know what the result of the divination will be?"

"It's a matter of great importance, and it's covered up by heavenly secrets... Poor Dao can't figure out what will happen this time. But..."

As Tianji said, she finally stood up and bowed to Du Fuwei:
"I just hope that Sanqing will protect me, so that Director Du will be successful soon."

All good words and bad words were finished by Tianji.

Du Fuwei didn't even leave a chance.

But Du Fuwei is not a hesitant temperament.

If he really hesitated, he wouldn't be able to make it to today.

So, he took a deep look at Tianji and nodded:

"Then rely on the auspicious words of the Taoist priest."

After the voice fell, he stepped out.

The deployment of soldiers is imminent, and many things still need to be arranged, but there is no delay.

And after he left, a faint smile appeared on Tianji's face.

Unpredictable.

……

Therefore, when Li Zhen, who was rushing to play, saw the Baili Yuan at the junction of Danyang and Liyang, and saw the soldier exuding a strong murderous aura, he asked Master Huqiu this sentence .

In front of you, there are tens of thousands of soldiers.

A blah blah blah.

The thick and murderous aura rushed straight at Li Zhen, reminding them that the visitor was not kind.

After Li Zhen finished asking, his eyes turned in one direction.

Over there, there was a group of bald heads shining in the sun, who also locked on him with their air machines.

The leader was the phantom of a black-clothed monk fluttering in the wind.

Li Zhen, on the other hand, felt a familiar aura from this phantom.

That is the truth only for people who are also enlightened.

This group of people, the visitors are not good.
