Xuanyuan Jue

Chapter 222: Vientiane Senluo (1)
The north wind is bitter, and dust and sand are everywhere.The mules and horses exhaled white air, snorting a few times from time to time.With the clatter of hooves, the cart drove out of Chongwen, passed through the east gate along the base of the city wall, and came under the Datong Bridge.

The driver looked around and drove the cart to a secluded place.After the mules and horses stopped drinking, the driver took off his felt hat and ear warmers, revealing Lu Ban's head.

Hearing that there was no movement in the car, Lu Ban nodded and said, "It's all right, let's all get up."

As soon as the voice fell, the muskmelon sat up with a "chuss". "Oh, I can finally move... My whole body is numb...Brother Feng, get up quickly!"

Lu Bantou also said: "Yes, brother Feng, it's cold in the car, get up quickly!"

After the two finished talking, Feng Shen still didn't move.Cantaloupe and Lu Ban were startled, and they hurriedly gathered around to have a look. "Yeah? You can't really get shot!?"

"I'm fine..." Feng Shen wiped the corners of his eyes and sat up slowly.

Xianggua patted Feng Shen angrily, "It's nothing, why didn't you answer? It scared me to death..."

"Alas..." Feng Shen looked back at the way he came from, and sighed, "I don't know when I will meet Lord Su after this farewell... My heart... Sigh..."

Lu Ban patted Feng Shen's shoulder, "Okay, brother Feng, it's good to be alive... Didn't you see how Su Wang felt so uncomfortable just now? His old man can't bear you..."

Seeing that Feng Shen's eyes were red again, Xianggua hurriedly changed the subject. "Hey? Lu Bantou, do you really know how to drive a car? It's a big car that makes you wobble and hit a big bump on my head."

Lu Bantou said knowingly: "I'm also learning and selling now. It's not bad if I haven't been driven into the ditch... By the way, you can pretend to be perfect in front of the city gate. It's really miserable to cry. Listening to it, I almost shed tears..."

"What are you pretending? I'm really crying..." Xianggua looked at Feng Shen, and said, "I saw that the shot was fired, Brother Feng's chest was bleeding, and I thought that if Prince Su shot It's off, isn't Brother Feng really dead? At that time, the more I thought about it, the more scared I became, and the tears couldn't stop..."

Lu Ban nodded his head, "It's also fortunate that Lord Su's marksmanship is superb. If it were someone else, you two would be really close."

"Yes," Xianggua also said, "As long as Lord Su's hand trembles, the bullet will hit his body directly. Now that I think about it, I still feel a little scared."

Lu Bantou took out a bundle from the car and opened it, "Your clothes are bloody, change them quickly, and put on a clean one."

Feng Shen and Xianggua picked them up and exchanged them.It turned out that there were patches on the chests of the old clothes the two wore before, and three pieces of silver and a bag of pig blood filled with pig urine were sewn into the patches.The bullet hit, pierced through the pig's urine and made the blood spurt out, but it was blocked by the three pieces of silver in the end, so they couldn't hurt the two of them.Moreover, in order to avoid Yikuang's suspicion, King Su decided last night to ask Feng Shen to add a "patch" to his chest, so that it would look more realistic after being shot many times.

After putting on the new clothes, Feng Shen took off the three bullets embedded in Yinyang, found a small cloth bag, and put it in his arms.

Cantaloupe also fastened the outer buckle, and said: "Brother Feng, what's the use of keeping those bullets? Just throw them away..."

Feng Shen shook his head, "These three bullets belong to Prince Su...I want to keep them, just as a thought."

Lu Bantou first untied the Yebilong knife from under the car, then took out the few ingots of silver given by King Su, stuffed them in the bag and handed them over. "Brother Feng, the knife and your things are here... Take them quickly..."

Feng Shen received it, and tightly held Lu Ban's head with both hands. "Brother Lu..."

Head Lu Ban had tears in his eyes, but he wanted to put on a smile that was uglier than crying. "Okay, brother, why did you become a mother-in-law? The days to come are still long, we two brothers... there must be a time when we meet again..."

Xianggua also said: "Lu Bantou, you are a good person...but don't be a bachelor all the time, let me tell you, sister Xia Zhu hasn't found a husband's house yet, if you are fine, run to her more often, maybe you The two have a play!"

Lu Ban blushed and spat: "What do you know about movies, you little girl? Don't talk nonsense here!"

Cantaloupe smiled and said, "Whether you want to hear it or not, anyway, my sister Xia Zhu, I like the sweet-scented osmanthus cake from Ruifangzhai the most!"

"If she likes to eat, let her buy it herself. What's the use of telling me about it?" Lu Ban finished speaking, and took out a purse from You's arms. "Brother Feng, you have used Fei a lot on the way, these are just a little bit of brother's kindness, don't be too little!"

Feng Shen waved his hand and said, "Brother, we have enough silver taels... You have never been rich..."

"Tell you to take it, so take it!" Lu Ban couldn't help but stuff the purse into Feng Shen's hand.

Feng Shen held the purse in his hand and wept down his lapel. "Brother Lu..."

"Gentlemen, don't keep crying! It's alright, alright, I'll send you here, I'm leaving!" Lu Bantou said, turned his back to wipe his face, and jumped into the mule cart He shook off the whip. "drive!"

"Big brother..."

Lu Ban shrugged his head and shoulders, but without looking back, he just whipped the whip louder. "Drive! Drive, drive!"

The mule felt the pain, threw off its hooves and ran away, carrying Lu Ban's head away.

With trembling hands, Feng Shen opened the purse, and saw that besides a few crumpled banknotes, there was also a note.

After flattening the note, the word "precious" was written crookedly on it.Feng Shen pressed the note tightly to his chest, and said softly in the direction of Lu Bantou's departure: "Brother, how precious you are..."

While feeling sad, a groan suddenly came from behind. "Advise you to drink one more glass of wine, there is no old friend when you leave Yangguan in the west..."

When Feng Shen and Xianggua turned their heads, they saw Xianguan, Kongru and Hua Wusheng, who arrived at some unknown time.

Feng Shen hurriedly wiped away his tears, and saluted the three of them. "Daoist Xianguan, Master Kongru, Mr. Hua..."

Taoist Xianguan and Mrs. Kong Ru hadn't even opened their mouths before Hua Wusheng said: "I'm rude! I'm rude! You stupid boy is really rude!"

Feng Shen was taken aback, "Mr. Hua...why did you say that?"

Hua Wusheng shook his head and said, "Xun Ziyun: Seniors and young are in order. You are right to greet my senior brother first. But Kongru is my junior sister, and you put her in front of me. Isn't that a big disrespect?"

Feng Shen was full of melancholy, and had no intention of arguing with him. "Mr. Hua sees that the teacher is... really a junior, isn't he..."

Hua Wusheng snorted: "The words are insincere, and the words are perfunctory!"

"Smelly poor!" Cantaloupe couldn't see it, and said angrily, "I don't see my Brother Feng, how uncomfortable is it? Why are you still picking bones?"

"It's not big or small! It's unreasonable!" Hua Wusheng gave Xianggua a white look, and with a light wave of his arm, he took all the silver notes in Lu Bantou's purse between his fingers.

"Ah, how dare you snatch money if you are so poor?" Xianggua said angrily, "Return it quickly! It was given to me by Lu Bantou, brother Feng! You are so skilled and want money, why don't you earn it yourself?"

Hua laughed silently: "If I am rich, can you still call me 'poor'? Poor people with high skills want to earn money, so naturally they have to rob..."

"Come again! Come again!" Xianggua insisted, Hua Wusheng just dodged left and right.

Taoist Xianguan coughed, "Silence."

Feng Shen also hurriedly stopped Xianggua, "Don't mess around with Mr. Hua."

After the two stopped fighting, Mrs. Kong Ru said again: "Shen'er, we have already hired a boat, you and Xianggua get ready, we are going south along the canal."

"Going south?" Xianggua asked, "Master, are we going south?"

Master Kong Ru smiled slightly and nodded his head.

Cantaloupe asked again: "Where is the south?"

Hua said silently: "Are you so noisy by asking questions! If you don't want to follow, you stinky girl, then don't come at all!"

Cantaloupe squeezed her waist with both hands, "No! I want to follow!"

"It's really an old plaster!" Hua Wusheng curled her lips, and then said to Feng Shen, "Boy, I paid for the boat hire first with the wine money, so you have these banknotes..."

Feng Shendao: "Mr. Hua just spend it... If it's not enough, I still have some..."

Hua Wusheng said joyfully: "A material that can be made! This is a piece of material that can be made!"

Cantaloupe poked Feng Shen, and whispered: "Brother Feng, I don't think he is a good person... If you want to be a teacher, you can find the Taoist priest and teacher..."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Feng Shen scolded and bowed to the three of them. "Dare to ask the three seniors, my father..."

Taoist Xian Guan said: "Don't worry, Shen'er, we have chosen an auspicious place, and we have already buried the second junior brother."

Feng Shen sobbed, knelt down and kowtowed. "Thank you three seniors!"

"Get up!"

Taoist Xianguan flicked his big sleeve, and Feng Shen was suddenly lifted up, and he stood up involuntarily.

Feng Shen asked again: "Master Dao, where is my father buried? Before leaving... this junior wants to kowtow in front of the old man's grave..."

Taoist Xianguan waved his hand, "Shen'er, it's enough if you have this kind of heart, if you kowtow or not, then there's no need..."

Feng Shen said: "But..."

"Amitabha Buddha." Kongru Master said, "Afflictions, dust and grime are originally non-appearance. The second elder brother ascended to bliss and walked without hindrance. Why do you need to be reluctant, Shener? When it is time to let go, you should let go. Daddy Tens of thousands of things, prosperity and decline, profit and loss, only if you give up, you will get something. If you don’t give up, you can give up, and if you don’t give up, you can get it, and you can get it... All conditioned methods should be viewed as such.”

Feng Shen was stunned for a while, then nodded. "This junior understands...Thank you, Master, for pointing out the maze..."

"Good, good." Kong Ru put his palms together and said again, "Shen'er, Xianggua, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time, the boatman is still waiting at the pier, let's go now."
