one person's life

Chapter 180: Don’t take your life lightly, visit Zhuge Village
Ma Feizhang, the only person who was not poisoned, had a complex expression. He raised his fist wrapped in a golden bell, but he did not show the so-called fighting spirit.

"You, where are your three levels of reverse birth? Aren't you famous for being good at the three levels of reverse birth?"

"Do you think it's necessary?" Tang Muzhi asked.

Ma Feizhang stopped talking, only feeling that a thick layer of dark clouds was covering his heart. The Qi poison in Liu Qiangchi's body broke out first, and he suddenly spurted out a mouthful of black blood. It seemed that the Qi Gong could no longer suppress it.

Tang Muzhi had no intention of taking action. He took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket and placed it on the ground. He said coldly: "Don't say I won't give you a chance. This is the antidote, but it's only for one person. It doesn't matter who lives or dies." It’s my business, from now on this matter is settled with me.”

"Wait a minute." Ma Feizhang, the only one who could still speak, said in a much softer tone, "We came to you to avenge ourselves, and we have fallen into this situation. We admit it! But you can't do this. If you have the antidote, take out three copies. I You can guarantee that they will never appear in front of you again from now on!"

Han Sanyou spat out a mouthful of old blood: "Ma Feizhang! Tang Clan disciples can't kill easily outside. I didn't even kill anyone, and he didn't dare to take anyone's life..."

"I don't believe this kind of thing anyway! If you want to survive, don't say anything." Ma Feizhang scolded.

This Han Sanyou really doesn't want any face.

Monk Minzhong offended him for some reason, so he transferred his grievances to Tang Muzhi. No wonder he was in his forties or fifties, but Qi was still so impatient. I wonder where he had practiced his quiet skills over the years.

Tang Muzhi thought that the house rules that Han Sanyou said did exist, but they were useless many years ago. If Yang Lie really stuck to the house rules, he would have been punished countless times.

Tang Muzhi turned around and left. Ma Feizhang was about to stop him, but his eyes were looked at by Ouyang Feng who was closest to the antidote.

At this time, Ouyang Feng's Qiqiao was bleeding, and he was so weak that he was about to die, but he still crawled towards the antidote with strength.

"Wait a minute..." Ma Feizhang rushed over and grabbed the antidote with a deep look, "I won't make a decision on this antidote, but the opportunity given by Tang Muzhi is fair. You draw lots to decide."

"Ma Feizhang! I..." Ouyang Feng's eyes were completely split.

"Ma Feizhang, do you want us all to die here? We don't have time. Give me the antidote!"

Han Sanyou said to Ma Feizhang: "The two of them are scattered people now, but there is the whole Huodezong behind me, you give me the antidote, when the time comes..."

Liu Qiangchi just stared at Ma Feizhang until blood came out of his eyes.

Ma Feizhang ignored the words and had already signed. He folded three leaves and said, "I have marked one of these leaves. You can draw lots."

Han Sanyou and Ouyang Feng had already regarded Ma Feizhang as crazy or having ulterior motives, but they couldn't care less at the moment and had to draw lots quickly according to his method.

Finally, Ma Feizhang handed the antidote in his hand to Liu Qiangchi.

"Two, I'm sorry, this is fate." Ma Feizhang sighed and said to the two who were about to die.

Ouyang Feng was heartbroken and died on the spot; Han Sanyou gasped for air and said in a hoarse voice: "I can't figure it out... After all, your Vajra Sect is not recognized by Buddhism! You really think of yourself as a figure. , what do you think you are! You are also a human being, and you are willing to avenge your fellow sect. I don’t understand. Why don’t you just give me the antidote? Obviously as long as you save me, I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life. You serve like an ancestor, and I have the entire Huode Sect behind me!"

Ma Feizhang just shook his head, "I didn't think about it before I came here. I just wanted to vent my anger on my disciples. Now it's a matter of three lives, and I can't afford it."

Han Sanyou cursed a few dirty words.When he was dying, he said harshly: "This is life...I should never have dragged you into this soft spot in the first place..."

After Han Sanyou died, Ma Feizhang looked at Liu Qiangchi whose breathing was gradually calming down, sighed, and said: "Brother, don't think too much, we will meet again forever - one last word of advice to you, it is not easy for you to stay in this life. Don’t bother with that evil star.”

Liu Qiangchi closed his lips tightly and didn't say another word to him.

……

When he came down from the mountain, Tang Muzhi took a special look back. The forest was not on fire. Huo Dezong's method was still magical enough. He could turn fire into fire with energy and control it freely. If he stayed true to his principles, he would not damage any plant or tree in the world. It was enough. rare.

As soon as he arrived at the place where he got off the bus, another taxi happened to be coming. This was in the wilderness. Tang Muzhi quickly reached out to stop the taxi and the car stopped. Unexpectedly, Zhuge Gong was sitting in the back seat.

"It seems that I am too worried." Zhuge Gong was a little surprised when he saw Tang Muzhi who was unharmed. "I heard that you showed up at Pengzhan Hotel, so I quickly calculated your location. I'm afraid some people have joined forces. Looking for trouble with you, you seem to be fine."

"That's a trivial matter, Brother Gong, thank you for taking care of me." Tang Muzhi smiled, "Where are you going? Let me give you a ride."

Zhuge Gong patted Tang Muzhi on the shoulder, "I'm going back to Lanxi. Have you had anything happened recently? Come and sit at my place - I want to tell you about this celebration banquet."

Tang Mu was stunned, this was a topic that made him very curious, so he simply said: "It's okay, I don't have much to do these days, and I have gained a lot of experience in Bagua Village."

"Okay." Zhuge Gong smiled and got into the car with Tang Mu, "Go to the bus station - Oh, by the way, master, do you have enough gas? You can send us directly to Lin'an. I paid for the gas there and back."

The driver thought for a while and then said, "Brother, if you want to drive at night when you come back, the price will be..." "That's easy to say."

……

The driver drove to Lin'an. Zhuge Gong took Tang Muzhi to eat West Lake vinegar fish and sliced ​​Sichuan noodles. They stayed in a hotel that night and chartered a car to Zhuge Bagua Village in Lanxi the next day.

We turned from Datong Road to the foot of Taigong Mountain. It was raining lightly, and a remote village was revealed in the mist. Ming and Qing architecture could be seen everywhere. The carved gatehouse with Su-style blue and gray polished bricks on the whitewash wall contrasted with the wooden door with draped eaves. .

At a glance, Tang Muzhi saw that there were many B&Bs and various houses in the village, facing each other and relying on each other. The alleys were criss-crossed, seemingly open but closed.If you look closely, you will see that every house here is actually arranged in a certain order.

Tang Muzhi, who had seen the Bagua Organ Array in the back mountain of Tangmen, quickly realized that the layout here should also be an organ array, and it must have strategic significance. He did not take the initiative to ask questions. Zhuge Gong himself would introduce it to him.

"Blue bricks, gray tiles, horse-head walls, fat beams, fat columns, small boudoir...that's how people describe our house, saying it's very distinctive, and it feels like that after we live in it for a long time." Zhuge Cheng squinted his eyes and smiled. Zhuo said: "In the past few years, experts always came to investigate, and now it is a national key cultural relics protection unit. In the future, the outer circle will not be clean, and the clan will also worry about it. This thing cannot be avoided. In the future, many clansmen will I have to move out, and the educational resources outside are better. It’s not a problem these days to always send children to private schools.”

Tang Muzhi said that the Tang Sect is quickly following in your footsteps.In the past two years, many people have traveled to Longchi for free. Yang Lie is already considering moving to another place and asking most of his disciples to move outside. There are still people in the sect who suspect that these things are secretly fueled. It’s impossible to tell.

Most of the Zhuge villagers have courtyard-style buildings, which are closed on all sides and leave space in the middle.The front edge of the house is higher than the back edge. Almost all the rain that day gathered in the courtyard of his house. Listening to the dripping rain, Tang Muzhi admired: "The combination of movement and stillness makes this place very suitable for meditating and practicing meditation."

Zhuge Gong nodded and continued to introduce to Tang Muzhi: "With Zhongchi as the core, eight alleys radiate outward to form the Inner Bagua, and there are eight hills just outside the village, forming an encircling force to form the Outer Bagua. We are now This location is Genwei in the north, Zhenwei in the south, and Xunwei in the south where I live, so let me show you around first.”

People kept saying hello to Zhuge Cheng along the way, but they seldom asked about Tang Muzhi's identity, they just smiled at him friendly and went about their business.

Tang Muzhi looked at the fine wood carvings and stone carvings on the surrounding buildings, and thought of the rough hut he built in Chuangpinggou. He felt a little itchy in his heart, and secretly said that he must learn from it when he has free time.

Tang Muzhi told Zhuge Gong before that he followed Zhuge Gong here on a whim this time. He would drink tea and stay for one night before leaving. Don't cause trouble. Please forgive me if I didn't follow the etiquette - there was no Tang Dynasty in the past. The disciples of the family take the initiative to visit other people's houses, so don't scare the Zhuge family.So Zhuge Gong didn't take him to meet his old relatives. When he visited Zhuge Gong's house, he said: "You sit down first, I will pick up my son. The child's mother is at her parents' house, so you can't see her this time." ”

A little later, Tang Muzhi finally saw Zhuge Qing, whose eyes were as wide as headlights. He had medium-long blue hair with pigtails playfully tied on his head. He had clear features, white teeth and bright eyes, and his skin was beautiful. Fair and fair, she looks like a pretty girl.

"Son, call me uncle - my child is also older, almost seven years old." Zhuge Gong pushed Zhuge Qing in front of Tang Muzhi, narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, my child is exactly the same as me. Yes, practicing Qigong is also a worry-free aspect, and the whole family will be careful about it."

"Hello, uncle." Zhuge Qing blinked and said politely.

Tang Muzhi looked at Zhuge Qing with a pair of bright eyes, and complained that Zhuge Qing really lacked self-awareness.

"Good baby, I will send you a red envelope during the Chinese New Year." Tang Muzhi smiled and touched Zhuge Qing's head.

In the evening, it was time to talk about business. Zhuge Qing was sent to his room to sleep, and Tang Muzhi mentioned the banquet.

"You must have heard about it in the past two years." Zhuge Gong picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. "The company also realized that it is unrealistic to control the entire alien circle with autocratic means. No matter how tough the backstage is, it cannot No one can be offended, right? So they have to select a few leaders with strong reputations and powers in the circle, and agree to deal with some major issues in the world outside of Nadutong - these people are called 'guys'."

Tang Muzhi nodded and motioned for him to continue speaking.

"At first, I didn't feel that I was taking it seriously. After all, it was just hearsay. Later, when the so-called 'leaked' list of candidates was announced, everyone in the circle immediately saw that this matter was too big, and the interests involved were related to many sects. In the future, this method will be used everywhere to communicate with us, so that we can accept it more easily in the future and prevent too many people from causing trouble."

"These 'candidates' have taken action after hearing the news. In the past two years, they have suppressed almost all the voices that opposed them. They are just waiting for the company to give them an accurate answer." Zhuge Gong put down his tea bowl and frowned: "This time After the celebration banquet, representatives of our sects also received formal notifications, but I guess you wouldn’t have thought that most of the leaders who came this time were actually people who failed to win the position of ‘Lao’.”

Tang Muzhi asked doubtfully: "Has the list of 'guys' been announced? My master didn't tell me."

"I only know nine people. After the banquet, Mr. Wang, Mr. Lu, Mu You, and Chen Jinkui left the conference room early. Mr. Yang and I were left behind. Director Su of the company talked to us respectively. That is to say It's a pity that we don't have the opportunity to be in the position of "Lao" this time. Then he told us about the power of "Lao" in an evasive manner. If there are any problems or conflicts that we can't think of, they will be resolved on the spot on Changsha Island on October [-]st. During the first meeting of the nine bigwigs from Baijing, no one is allowed to ruin their place."

"Of course, in the final analysis, these matters should be said by the selected bosses themselves. In order to ease the conflict, the company has intervened in all aspects with a wave of its hand - rebuilding the princes without doing much."

Zhuge Gong smiled bitterly and said: "Next month it will be the turn of these 'guys' to be famous, and I estimate that they will be famous for more than ten years at least. If they deliberately target any company in the future, it will be even harder for us who have no say to survive. .”

In fact, this is also the reason why the previous patriarch of Zhuge Village retired early. Without him on the candidate list, it will be difficult to make a difference in the future.

So this burden fell on Zhuge Gong's shoulders, and he also felt a little tired of dealing with the establishment of the "Nine Guys".

"I don't think it's that bad." Tang Muzhi consoled him: "Let's not talk about Wang, Lu Erlao and Chen Jinkui for now. Muyou is the most fair in doing things, and everyone in the circle recognizes it; besides, some 'guys' probably don't have the nerve to come. To participate in this so-called celebration banquet, I think Mr. Lu Jin and the Tianshi Mansion must have been selected. Some people think it is unfair, and some people think it is fair, so that their family will not be the dominant one and not let other families live."

"That's true." Zhuge Gong nodded, "If these two are not selected into the Jiu Lao, then it is estimated that many people will quit."

After talking about the major issues in the circle, Zhuge Cheng turned the topic to his own cultivation.

"After returning from Myanmar last time, Tu Junfang came here to look for me. I think he is a very deep man. He is nominally worried that I will be infected with corpse demons, but he always gives people the feeling that he has ulterior motives." Zhuge Cheng He frowned and said, "This person needs to be careful when interacting with him. The things he carries on his back are not small."
