Who made me a peerless genius

Ming Zongyi's eyes were sharp, hitting the nail on the head.

"If the Immortal Demon Buddha is born in a month like last time, then it may be too late if we go by land."

Heng Kong came from the Western Regions and spent several days here. Even if Ming Zongyi set off with him today, the two of them went overland to Ezhou and found Bo Xue, and then everything went well. Bo Xue contacted Qu Chen in Fusang, Let him go back to Shenzhou to go to the Western Regions immediately...for a month, I'm afraid it will be too late.

Although the Undead Demon Buddha should be delayed this time, he may also do the opposite, and catch them by surprise before the Buddhism in the Western Regions has assembled their combat power. What's more, the above-mentioned one month is completely ideal. A little bit of trouble, such as getting lost, not being able to find Bo Xue, Bo Xue not being able to contact Qu Chen, and Qu Chen not being able to escape, etc., it may not be over in two months, let alone a month.

"It's actually Ezhou." Ming Zongyi felt dizzy for a while, but his fighting spirit was not overwhelmed.

Ming Zongyi and Qu Chen have been together for a few months, and they know this senior brother very well. If he knows about the Undead Demon Buddha, he will definitely put down everything and go to help out. These days, Qu Chen has a heart for Ming Zongyi Lung, Ming Zongyi also wanted to do something for him, and he didn't want Qu Chen to regret it... With Qu Chen's temperament, if the Immortal Demon Buddha did something unreasonable in an accident, Qu Chen would definitely do it. Blame it on himself, sometimes Ming Zongyi really doesn't know how to describe his elder brother.

After thinking up to this point, Ming Zongyi opened his mouth.

"Master Hengkong... If we want to leave a little time for fault tolerance, we can only go to Erzhou by water."

Taking the water route is much more dangerous, but it can save a lot of time.

Heng Kong folded his palms together.

"Amitabha, the poor monk has exactly this intention...but there are many shipwrecks around Ezhou, is the benefactor sure to go with the poor monk? In fact, the benefactor only needs to write a book, and the poor monk will bring it to that person. gone."

Ming Zongyi shook his head, Qu Chen told him that Bo Xue was suspicious by nature, if Ming Zongyi couldn't pass, with this monk Mang, he might never have a chance to see Bo Xue.

"Master Heng Kong, the situation over there is complicated, I must go with you."

"Ming benefactor's great righteousness, the poor monk admires...Time is running out, when is benefactor Ming planning to leave?"

To be honest, Ming Zongyi didn't expect that he had just returned to Taixuan Mountain today and was about to leave immediately, but the matter was imminent, and there was indeed no delay for a moment. He said, "I'm going to prepare some things. Let's hurry on the road overnight."

———To go to Xialing City, you usually rush in the morning and arrive in the evening, but when you go to Ezhou, you don’t go through Xialing City. You are going to Tianfeng City, which is farther away. If you leave in the morning, you will arrive soon At that time, the gate of the city was closed, so we had to travel overnight.

"Zongyi." Li Huaisu stepped forward, with a worried look on her face, she was pinching a strand of long black hair in front of her shoulder, and said softly, "Let Feixing go to Ezhou with you, then The place is not peaceful, so you two should have someone to take care of you."

Ming Zongyi shook his head, and responded: "Senior Brother Three is indeed going out, but not to Ezhou, but to another place."

Shi Qinghuan, who was on the side, was smart and guessed the answer in an instant.

"Linhai Town."

That's right, it was Linhai Town. Although Qu Chen Gongyin's agreed date had passed, they might still stay in Linhai Town, and they had to go to someone there, and this person could only be Zang Feixing.

"Are you going to leave again just after you come back..." Li Huaisu sighed lowly, walked out of the chatting pavilion, and planned to pack things for Ming Zongyi. She is the housekeeper of the Taixuan sect. Besides, other things are prepared by Li Huaisu, including a series of miscellaneous items such as maps, so Li Huaisu never goes out. If she leaves, the rest of the people probably won't know how to live.

Here Ming Zongyi named the delicious and lazy Mu Ling, the introverted Wang Xiao Tianhuang, the eldest lady Shi Qinghuan who never touches Yang Chunshui, and the lazy dog ​​Zang Feixing. As a senior brother, Qu Chen should save him some face Anyway, except for himself, no one in the Taixuan sect can leave Li Huaisu.

Compared to Li Huaisu, who was so worried about seeing her children go out, Shi Qinghuan seemed much calmer, she smiled lightly and said: "You come and go in a hurry, but you are a bit of a hero, go, senior sister is optimistic about you. "

———As soon as Li Huaisu, the real senior sister, left, Shi Qinghuan immediately called himself a senior sister.

Ming Zongyi nodded. He was lonely since he was a child, so his character is firm and resolute, and his execution and endurance are far superior to his peers. Now that Qu Chen and Mu Shaofeng are gone, he is calm in the face of such emergencies. In arranging matters, he vaguely has the demeanor of a Taoist talker. It is hard to imagine that he is only sixteen or seventeen years old.

Ming Zongyi returned to the dormitory, and was talking with Zang Feixing while packing his luggage.

Zang Feixing on one side is not as strong as Li Huaisu and Shi Qinghuan. Hearing that Zongyi will leave as soon as he comes back, everyone is stupid.

Ming Zongyi asked him to go to Linhai Town to see if there were any traces of Qu Chen and Gong Yin. He thought he would encounter a lot of resistance. After all, Zang Feixing was notoriously lazy, but when Zang Feixing faced serious matters, Unambiguously, he answered in one gulp.

"Going out to buy daily necessities like this can only be left to Tianhuang, tsk tsk..." Zang Feixing showed emotion, he, Ming Zongyi, and Qu Chen all went out, this task can only fall to On Xiao Tianhuang's head, it might not be easy for him with his monster-inducing physique.

Thinking of that scene, Ming Zongyi couldn't help showing a smile, and his heavy heart eased a bit.

Ming Zongyi quickly packed his things, and when he arrived at the martial arts arena, Hengkong had been waiting there for a long time, he obviously also had martial arts skills, and his stamina far surpassed that of ordinary people.

Li Huaisu stepped forward, hung the bag of sundries on Ming Zongyi, and gave a few words of advice.

"There are many shipwrecks around Ezhou. If the sea conditions are not right, just give up. Nothing is more important than your own life. It's cold these days. Don't think it's inconvenient to wear clothes. Remember to wear more clothes. Your fourth senior brother just hates clothes." Wearing too much clothes is not good for martial arts training. In the winter, you take off your shirt to practice martial arts, and you end up with the wind and cold. The loss is not serious, and..."

Li Huaisu kept urging, Ming Zongyi, who didn't have a mother, had never experienced this feeling, so he didn't feel impatient, and responded to them all one by one.

In the end, he said: "I have some snacks in my room, which are for A Ling. Sister, you can bring them to her when the time comes, but it's best to divide them in batches. Eating too much is not good for your health. Be careful to hide it. She is clever." Very, maybe I realized that you gave her in batches and would come in and steal it. There is a small box on the bedside of my room, which is the tea for Fifth Senior Sister. It seems to be called Tianshan Yunwu... I forgot, Fifth Senior Sister Said that she likes it very much, and happened to have a chance to get some, please pass it on to me, then, I'm leaving."

Li Huaisu put away her worried expression. According to folklore, showing such an expression at the time of farewell will bring misfortune to those who travel. She congratulated softly: "Wu Yun is prosperous."

Ming Zongyi smiled slightly, turned around, and embarked on the journey to Erzhou with Heng Kong, and he gradually got used to this kind of life.

"Let's go, Master Hengkong, let's go to Ezhou."

Chapter 61 Separate Actions

Hengkong is a monk of Buddhism in the Western Regions, a martial artist who forges his body. Being full of energy, the two of them marched for ten hours a day with extremely high efficiency.

It is worth mentioning that Ming Zongyi was amazed by Hengkong's financial resources... The non-military ordinary horses in the Wu Dynasty were about [-] to [-] yuan a horse, and the two of them killed three horses along the way. Horses, when encountering some places where the horses can't go, Heng Kong didn't even bat an eyelid, and just abandoned the horses.

——Of course, it is difficult for ordinary people to buy horses quickly, but Heng Kong, as the envoy of Buddhism in the Western Regions, has some means.

【"Buddhism in the Western Regions is indeed a money-making monster..."】

Ming Zongyi couldn't help secretly marveling. In fact, he had some misunderstanding here. It is true that Buddhism is great at making money, but it is not enough for a monk to have so much money. The main reason is that the Demon Buddha is about to be born. It would be stupid for the sent monk to be delayed in terms of money or identity, just like in the movie, the savior who was about to have the final battle was bumped by an aunt on the road and missed the time, and the world was destroyed as a result.

Therefore, Buddhism in the Western Regions has shed blood and paid a lot of money. Every monk brought a lot of money and identity certificates that allow them to travel freely in various places. Even if it is just to buy a little time, the money will be thrown out , it can be said that every second counts, and the second is that Heng Kong, as a specially trained monk, has never used money a few times in his life, and his money concept is extremely weak.

However, in Ming Zongyi's view, Hengkong is the kind of rich man who throws out tens of thousands of coins without even batting an eyelid...Of course, he didn't and couldn't continue Dihua, and soon realized that Hengkong There is no such thing as the concept of money.

Thanks to Heng Kong's financial ability and their status as Buddhist envoys in the Western Regions, the two traveled unimpeded and soon came to Taiping County.

That's right, it's the place where the giant bandits from Longzhou once fought ().

After Qu Chen killed the giant bandit in Longzhou, Taiping County was in chaos for a while, but it soon calmed down. The giant bandit in Longzhou was considered a person when he was alive, and he could stir up the situation in Longzhou. He was the local emperor of Taiping County. But once he died, he was nothing, and Taiping County was quickly taken over by others, calmed down, and the old trade resumed.

As a place near the sea, Taiping County has many boats available for private charter. Although Ming Zongyi and Hengkong are extremely eager, they must first sharpen their tools if they want to do a good job. To go to Erzhou, you must have a large and reliable boat. If you want to rent this kind of boat, you can only come to Taiping County.

Heng Kong still showed his identity as a Buddhist envoy in the Western Regions, and soon received various assistance, but...the money was not enough.

Yes, even though Buddhism in the Western Regions has prepared amazing wealth for Hengkong, what a cost it is to rent a boat that can go to Erzhou, plus the various personnel on board, especially when the owner and crew heard that The place to go is Ezhou, and the asking price is several percent higher out of thin air... But this can't be regarded as a low price, Ming Zongyi understands it quite well, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is buying life.

It is estimated that Buddhism in the Western Regions did not expect that Heng Kong would need to rent a whole large ship with full-level wind and wave resistance for him to travel alone, or to go to a place like Ezhou, and the money needed would be an astronomical figure.

Hengkong discussed with the captain of the ship for a while, but naturally he failed. His eloquence was not even as good as that of Ming Zongyi, a teenage boy.

Heng Kong thought for a while, and quickly made a decision.

He calmly said: "Master...the poor monk's money can't afford to rent a big boat, so I can only rent a small boat. Going this way is extremely dangerous, and I may lose my life at any time. There is no need for the benefactor to fight with the poor If the monk is on the same journey, you might as well write a letter and let the poor monk take it there, while the benefactor will go by land, if the poor monk is not spared, the benefactor will also be able to bring the message."

【"..."】

Ming Zongyi fell silent, and he could go to Ezhou by land, but it would be much slower. He originally wanted to propose this way. If there is no boat to Ezhou in Taiping County, then there probably won't be any other places, but , Hengkong actually decided to go to Ezhou by himself in a small boat... In order to buy time, he really was desperate. It was somewhat safe to go to Ezhou by a big boat, but it was a gamble for his life by taking a small boat.

Ming Zongyi naturally didn't understand the monks trained by Buddhism in the Western Regions. They were more loyal than the dead warriors trained by the aristocratic family, but the specific objects of loyalty were not people. Although they didn't regard death as home, they were almost the same.

If Buddhism is regarded as a "martial arts sect", then their ideological education courses are the best, and the degree of belonging to specific monks is extremely high. Of course, when it comes to ideological education for the dead, the imperial court is the ancestor .

Ming Zongyi thought for a while, but couldn't think of a solution. He wanted to try to persuade him, but Heng Kong was no longer a child at this age. He must have had his own considerations in making this decision, maybe he didn't realize it. The seriousness of the birth of Mobud...

"...Master Hengkong, I won't stop you." Ming Zongyi said slowly after deliberating for a moment, "But, going to Ezhou by boat is a gamble on your life. The person you want to meet He is also very human, even if there is a letter written by me, you may not have the opportunity to meet him. The last time the Demon Buddha was born, his state was not fully recovered, so he was knocked down and rejected. More time to recover, time may not be so urgent...Master Heng Kong, are you really going to go by water?"

Ming Zongyi carefully explained the pros and cons to Hengkong. If Hengkong's decision remains unchanged, then he has nothing to say.

Heng Kong clasped his palms together, with a calm look on his face, he said softly: "I understand the benefactor's intentions, the poor monk understands it, but if the Demon Buddha is born and rushes out of the encirclement surrounding the Jutianjudi, the world will be in chaos that day, the poor monk You must rush to Ezhou as soon as possible, as the saying goes, if I don’t go to hell, whoever goes to hell.”

Ming Zongyi closed his eyes and was speechless.

"Then I wish Master Hengkong a smooth journey, and I will arrive in Erzhou as soon as possible. If Master Hengkong encounters a storm, you might as well go back."

He gave some persuasion at the end, turned around and wrote a letter, and asked Heng Kong to pass it on to Bo Xue, but he didn't know if Bo Xue could read the letter or believe it.

Heng Kong said goodbye to Ming Zongyi, and left resolutely. He has come all the way, acting recklessly, lacking in planning and rational judgment, but he can always move forward firmly, which is impossible for many people.

Ming Zongyi's creed in life is that everything depends on man's efforts. For those who work hard, Ming Zongyi hopes to see them succeed, but he also understands that if he thinks that he will succeed if he works hard, that is the greatest arrogance in the world. Kong's actions are more pessimistic.

Ming Zongyi withdrew his gaze and was about to turn around to leave when his body tensed up suddenly. He seemed to have noticed something and turned around suddenly... However, the port in Taiping County was crowded with people and noisy, and he couldn't do anything. Couldn't find out.

【"Is it an illusion..."】

Chapter 62 Caravan

After Hengkong and Ming Zongyi separated, he planned to rent a small boat to go to Erzhou. Naturally, he was rejected many times, and this time it was not because of money.

There is still a possibility of accidents for a large ship with strong anti-wind and wave ability to go to Erzhou, let alone a small boat, once it encounters wind and waves, it must be close to death.

But Heng Kong knew that there must be someone willing to take on the job. If he wanted to rent a big boat with the money on hand, he would never even think about it. Some time, let those boatmen who are short of money make some mental preparations.

This requires some time and patience. Hengkong is not short of patience, but he is short of time, so he becomes a little urgent, which scares away many boatmen.

"Monk, are you going to Ezhou?"

At this moment, a calm voice sounded, and a young man in a black robe stepped out of a medium-sized ship in front of Heng Kong and asked, "What price can you offer?"

Heng Kong reported a number, which was most of his money, and the remaining small part was reserved for travel expenses.

"The current monks are really rich..." The young man nodded, "Come on, I will take over this job, and I will drive you to Ezhou."

Hengkong was overjoyed, hurriedly boarded the boat, saluted with one palm and said: "Amitabha, thank you very much for this benefactor, I don't know how to call it?"

The young man said, "My surname is Luo."

"It turned out to be Lord Luo..." Hengkong said, sensing something was wrong.

Although the interior decoration of this ship is not luxurious, there are many things such as jade, woolen cushions, and porcelain vases, which are obviously not what normal people should bring to sea. This ship is not like a merchant ship, but more like a private one. cruise ship.

Heng Kong has no concept of money, but he can vaguely sense that the owner of this boat doesn't seem to be short of money. It's hard to say if he is rich or not, but he must have a lot of spare money. Take some money to drive this kind of boat to take risks in Ezhou.

A little vigilance rose in his heart, but the young man surnamed Luo looked calm, and said casually: "Be careful on the boat, things are not cheap, and now my family has fallen, and only this boat is left."

Hearing this, Heng Kong relaxed his vigilance a little bit, his family has fallen... This makes sense, after his family fell, he naturally wanted to make a quick fortune and see if there was a chance to make a comeback, no wonder he would pick him up this trip.

The ship slowly left the shore and headed for Erzhou. The eyes of the young man surnamed Luo occasionally fell on Hengkong's package. Ming Zongyi's handwritten letter was not completely stuffed in, and a small section was exposed outside.

----------

On Ming Zongyi's side, they were looking for a caravan on the way.

From the perspective of the current shipbuilding technology, going to Ezhou by water can be said to be full of risks. If you are not careful, you will have to type gg. Although there are many risks on the land route, it is much better than the water route.

The land in Ezhou, how should I put it, is scarce in resources, supplies are extremely scarce, and the land is barren, so the things from the outside world can always be sold at a good price... However, the profit cannot be considered particularly high, because The land route is also too difficult, and the transportation cost is ridiculously high to cross a small half of the mountain range.

Secondly, there are also many people in Ezhou who can't survive, who choose to become bandits, and specifically rob the outsiders who brought in the goods. First, the outsiders have no way to retaliate, and second, the things they brought in are valuable.

Therefore, when businessmen enter Ezhou, they will always hire bodyguards or some disciples of the martial arts sect—this is also a way for the martial arts sect to generate revenue and make a name for themselves.

Ming Zongyi wanted to join a caravan. The terrain of the mountains in Ezhou was too complicated. Even with a map, he might not be able to get out. He didn't want to waste a lot of time in it, so he wanted to find a caravan. He could act as a free bodyguard. .

He was lucky. After asking for a while, he actually found a caravan going to Ezhou.

Ming Zongyi tried to talk to the leader of the caravan. The other party was going to Ezhou. Naturally, he had hired bodyguards early on, and he didn't want to mix in an inexplicable person in the caravan, especially at Ming Zongyi's age. It was Wu Fu who had just completed the two years when his pulse was the weakest. The leader of the caravan naturally felt that one thing is worse than one thing, and he was unwilling to bring Ming Zongyi.

Ming Zongyi did not give up, he knew what the leader of the caravan was thinking, and this was the time for him to show his strength. Just as he was about to show his strength, a calm female voice suddenly came from outside.

"Mr. Mo, I heard that someone...Ming Shaoxia?"

Ming Zongyi turned around and looked, the visitor was barely an acquaintance, it was Jiang Yu'an from the Yangshan School, she was tall and tall, tied a neat single ponytail, and wore a very dashing outfit.

Ming Zongyi was also surprised when he saw her. The other party was obviously the bodyguard hired by the leader of the caravan. Taiping County and the Yangshan faction were far away, but the other party would appear in Longzhou. This Yangshan faction is doing business.. ...the hands are really long.

He knowingly asked: "Jiang Nvxia, what are you..."

Jiang Yu'an responded: "Our Yangshan faction is escorting Mr. Mo, but Ming Shaoxia is here...I heard that Ming Shaoxia wants to go to Ezhou together?"

"Yes." Ming Zongyi nodded, ignoring any embarrassment, he seized the opportunity, hit the snake with a stick, and said, "I want to go to Ezhou to visit an old friend, but I can't go through Ezhou alone I want to go with the caravan, so I wonder if Jiang Nuxia can make it easier... If I meet a strong man in the green forest, I will naturally help."

When he met Jiang Yu'an, Ming Zongyi was overjoyed. With Yangshan and his party, he formed a good relationship with Yinshan and Yangshan. Jiang Yu'an knew his footsteps and knew that he was not a villain. He thought he would be helpful.

"Ming Shaoxia has a certain relationship with our Yangshan faction." Jiang Yu'an smiled slightly, "Back then, when Ming Shaoxia helped his junior sister, Yu'an hadn't found a chance to thank him. If Ming Shaoxia said he would do it It's just a convenience, it's too outlandish...Mr. Mo, you don't know, this is Ming Zong Yi Ming Shaoxia, who has a deep relationship with the elders of my Yangshan Sect. Trustworthy people, going to Ezhou this time, with the help of Ming Shaoxia, it must be even more powerful... I wonder what Mr. Mo will do?"

The leader of the caravan surnamed Mo didn't hesitate too long. Yangshan faction is a time-honored brand, and his words are somewhat credible.

After coming to Taiping County for so long, things finally went smoothly, and Ming Zongyi felt a little happier because of this.

After thanking the leader of the caravan, Jiang Yu'an began to warn Ming Zongyi of various precautions during the itinerary. Ming Zongyi responded one by one. The caravan stayed in Taiping County for an afternoon. After dealing with various chores, it was finally On the road.

Ming Zongyi sat on the rickety truck, watching Taiping County in the distance gradually turn into a black spot until it disappeared.

He thought of the gaze he felt in Taiping County, and felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he was not too afraid. In that noisy environment, the other party could be noticed by him, and his strength should not be too strong, but , who is going to stare at him, the remnants of life and death, or... the remnants of the giant bandits in Longzhou?

Chapter 63 Limits of Martial Arts

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

Ming Zongyi's reputation is not very famous. Today, if someone asks a certain person in the world if they know a puppeteer, 98 out of a hundred people don't know it. However, there are two places where all the people are I know Ming Zongyi.

These two places are Yinshan School and Yangshan School.

Ming Zongyi gained a lot of prestige in Yinshan and Yangshan, and now he travels with the disciples of Yangshan School, so he naturally becomes a mysterious figure in their eyes.
