i turned into a monster

Chapter 8 Youth Supernatural Powers!
"I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you, everyone?"

Teng Zijing smiled and bowed to everyone, his waist was straight, he had a refined temperament and a literati style.

"Ok, ok, everything is ok..."

Everyone nodded in a daze, and some people smiled and smiled, but tears flowed down involuntarily.

21 years!

The like-minded friends and comrades who fought side by side are now in their twilight years.

Back then, the reform they advocated failed, so those who were demoted were demoted, those who were dismissed were dismissed, and those who were relegated were relegated.

They all have family backgrounds to support them. They have no official positions and hereditary titles. They have a lot of property, and they are still prosperous in the capital.

But Teng Zijing was miserable. He came from a poor family and was relegated to that desolate place in Baling County, so he couldn't stand up anymore...

In the eyes of their old friends, it was equivalent to Teng Zijing carrying everything alone.

They all had a way out, but Teng Zijing didn't have one. This upright scholar, just relying on his passion, risked his life to accompany them!
As time goes by and the years get older, the guilt in their hearts becomes stronger and stronger, and they realize more and more that this friendship is precious.

After a group of old friends chatted for a while, Teng Zijing was invited into the gazebo and sat down.

"Brother Zijing, this is... Mr. Bai?"

An old friend looked at Bai Ze, a little uncertain. After all, it has been more than 60 years, and few dogs can live for such a long time.

"Exactly."

Teng Zijing took a sip of tea, raised his head with a smile, showing a hint of pride.

"Tsk tsk tsk... Such a long-lived dog is really rare." Someone said in shock.

Immediately, someone laughed and said, "What's the matter? This is Mr. Bai. He has already developed his spiritual wisdom. You couldn't even play chess with him back then."

"This..." The old man's face turned red in an instant, and after a short period of embarrassment, he stared and said: "Could it be that you can pass it, who can, stand up!"

Immediately, several people looked at each other and retreated one after another.

Back then, they were defeated by this dog, and they didn't face Go for a long time, because as soon as they saw the chessboard, a voice would appear in their minds - you can't even play with a dog, what a fart.

"let me!"

At this time, the host Qin Gong stood up, raised his head and said: "The old man begged for bones ten years ago. He has devoted himself to studying chess records for the past ten years, and his chess power has greatly improved. Looking at the Dayin Kingdom, there are very few who can beat the old man."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Bai Ze, stretched out his right hand, palm facing the chessboard and said, "Mr. Bai, please."

Naturally, Bai Ze was not polite, and sat on the opposite side of the chessboard.

"I am the host, I will let you have a son, you come first." Qin Gong said boldly, and everyone showed their demeanor.

"Snapped!"

Bai Ze was not polite either, he grabbed a white chess piece and slapped it on the chessboard at lightning speed.

The main reason is that there are no fingers, and there is no way to handle it lightly.

"Hehe, this opening is interesting..."

Qin Gong narrowed his eyes, as if he saw a flaw, so his body, which was originally facing a big enemy, became relaxed, with an aura of strategizing.

However, a moment's work.

His mouth was wide open, and he stared at the chessboard like petrified, unable to recover for a long time.

"Hahahaha! Lao Qin, haven't you studied the chess records for ten years, that's it?"

"Looking at Dayin Country, there are very few who can beat this old man... Hahaha, you're killing me with laughter, hahahaha!"

A few old men beside him laughed loudly, and even squeezed their voices, imitating Qin Gong's previous voice to make fun of him.

Qin Gong reacted, his old face blushed, and shouted: "This round is not counted, this round is not counted, I underestimated the enemy, start again!"

So Bai Ze gave him a chance.

But after a while, he froze again.

"No, I gave you a son just now, in return, you have to give me a son too!"

After a while, his mouth opened wide again.

"No, I'm getting old, you have to let me have two sons!"

After a while, he was completely stunned...

After a long time.

He threw the black chess in his hand and sighed: "Forget it, forget it...it's just Go, it doesn't matter if you don't play it."

There was another roar of laughter in the gazebo.

In fact, Bai Ze doesn't know any chess skills, but he has profound skills. As long as the opponent makes a move, he can instantly calculate thousands of changes!

This is not to say that he has a good brain. As I said before, he has no brains.

In fact, he is only strong in calculation, in other words, he is just a calculation machine without emotion...

……

After a long time, a group of old men stopped laughing and cursing, and started to become serious.

"The current court situation seems a bit chaotic?" Teng Zijing asked solemnly.

"Hey, yeah..."

An old man sighed: "After our reform failed, the conservatives adopted a series of tyrannical policies, such as increasing taxes, increasing corvees, and suppressing merchants, which seemed to make Dayin more prosperous and the treasury more prosperous in the short term, but in fact it hurt the fundamentals. .”

"I have an old friend who is a monk who is good at looking at Qi. He said that Dayin's national fortune has been declining over the years, and it is getting worse day by day..."

Another old man gritted his teeth and said: "The most hateful thing is that the new emperor was blinded by slander and superficial prosperity, and was headstrong. In order to expand the territory, he even prepared to launch a war against Dongting Kingdom!"

"The Dongting Kingdom completed its political reform a hundred years ago. How powerful it is now, the new emperor's move is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg and bringing himself to perish."

"It's just that the people of the world are pitiful, and they will suffer from the chaos of war again. I don't know how many soldiers will die in battle..."

Teng Zijing sighed: "Xing, the people are suffering, death, the people are suffering."

Qin Gong also sighed dejectedly: "The world is difficult. We are young and fashionable and have no ability to turn the tide. Now, even if we look at the sky, there is nothing we can do. This is the reason why the old man resigned angrily."

After finishing speaking, he suddenly yelled angrily: "Zhuzi, it's not enough to be with a certain one!!"

Everyone's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.

They knew who Duke Qin was talking about. If someone listened to his words, it would be treasonous.

But none of them said anything, because they actually thought so in their hearts.They were extremely disappointed with the man in the court.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. There are talented people from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years. We are just a group of old men in their dying years. Instead of being cynical here, it's better to sing about wine and have a drink!"

"Hahaha, it's so great, today when old friends gather together, they must drink to their hearts' content, and they won't go home if they don't get drunk!"

"Don't get drunk, don't go home!"

So, a group of old Confucian scholars hooked their shoulders together, walked out of the gazebo without any image, and went to find a place to drink.

Bai Ze silently followed behind.

He knows that this is the last time this group of people will meet in this life, and all the worries about the country and the people and the cynicism will be put to rest in a pot of dirty wine...

……

In a blink of an eye, three days passed.

After reminiscing about the past with his old friends, Teng Zijing toured the capital together, and then prepared to leave.

He revisited his hometown and saw his old friends for the last time. He has no regrets in this life.

After leaving the capital, the two met an acquaintance at a market not far from the capital.

Good luck!

That is Xiao Qianyu's bookboy, that tall, scribble-looking man.

"Mr. Fan, what a coincidence to meet you here."

Duofu said politely, because his son told him that this old man is not an ordinary person.

"Yes. Where's your son?" Teng Zijing smiled gently.

"Well, the young master went to the city to rush for the exam, so let me wait for him at the inn outside the city." Duofu said.

"Why didn't you go with me?" Teng Zijing asked doubtfully.

"I don't know about that, the young master didn't say anything." Duofu scratched his head and said with a dry smile.

As for Bai Ze, he noticed very carefully that there was a faint yin energy on Duo Fu's body.He took a closer look, and there was a red string looming on the other party's neck, which seemed to be a jade pendant.

"Sure enough."

Bai Ze knew in his heart that most likely the female ghost in the jade pendant could not enter the city, so Xiao Qianyu left Duo Fu outside the city and asked him to keep the jade pendant.

"This...isn't it going in that direction?" A picture flashed uncontrollably in his mind.

Weaver Girl and Lao Niu.

"Forget it, what does this have to do with me? What's more, people and ghosts have different paths, which is a bad relationship." Bai Ze thought silently in his heart.

After a few simple greetings, the two bid farewell to Duofu and continued on the road.

The wind and rain all the way when coming, the same is true when returning.

But this time, the two deliberately took a long way around to see the scenery they hadn't seen before.

Money was not a problem either. When they left the capital, those old friends secretly stuffed a lot of money into Teng Zijing's bookcase.

There are even bank notes, at least hundreds of taels. The two didn't count them in detail, but they both know a lot.

So, one person and one dog travel around the mountains and rivers, to see the magnificent mountains and rivers, customs and customs of different places, eat delicious food from different places, and even occasionally stop in one place, rent a thatched hut, and stay for a few days.

The man who worried about the country and the people all his life, finally let go of all the burdens in his twilight years and lived for himself once.

Love the mountains and rivers, feel at ease.

"It would be great if it could continue like this..."

Bai Ze is in a happy mood, but also sad at the same time. The good years are like short-lived epiphyllums, which will wither after blooming.

And under the cover of such complicated emotions, there seemed to be something mysterious and mysterious sprouting in his heart, which was about to break out of the ground.

In the end, he unknowingly realized another kind of supernatural power - youth.

In an instant of youth, time is like a knife!

Once the youth comes out, with the power of time, it can make people age quickly, and even magical powers will quickly disintegrate and die.
