- Chapter 38: Run
It¡¯s late at night and everyone is quiet.
People visiting Mushan Mountain have already found their own places to sleep, and the rich and powerful have moved into the Taoist temple halfway up the mountain. Ordinary tourists can only find flat and spacious places to pitch their tents. The people of Sui Dynasty have always lived a relatively comfortable life. The strong national power over the past century has allowed the people to develop a confident and somewhat lazy character.
? Spring outings are not a privilege for people from wealthy families.
Rich people have their own ways of playing, and ordinary people have their own ways of playing.
It¡¯s just that few people choose to camp at the foot of the mountain. Most of them live in the small square paved with bluestones in front of the Taoist temple halfway up the mountain. The Taoist temple does not provide free meals, but provides hot water. This is one of the reasons why this Taoist temple is so popular. Because of this mountain, the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple live a very wealthy and comfortable life.
??Almost everyone inside and outside the Taoist temple has gone to bed, but the three people at the foot of the mountain are busy digging holes. To be precise, two people were digging a hole, and one person was sitting on a tree branch, leaning against the trunk, feeling bored.
"Dig deeper."
The big dog didn¡¯t need tools. He put on the gloves with steel spikes and started working. It didn¡¯t take long before a large pit was dug on the ground. He glanced at Fang Jie, wielding a horizontal knife to dig in the soil, curled his lips disdainfully and said, "I can dig two, but you can't dig one. You still have to rely on your own hands to do things."
Fang Jie wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "Today I learned that dog pawing is not just a way of swimming. I admire it. If you don't have something handy, you won't be able to dig very deep until dawn."
"How about dismembering the body."
The big dog said seriously: "It's easier to divide the body into many small pieces. In this way, there is no need to dig too deep. Just dig more."
Li Xian glared at him: "Why are you so cruel?"
The big dog said: "I killed two and you killed two. You are cruel in the same way."
He looked back at Cui Lueshang and said unhappily: "I say Mr. Cui, even if you are not the principal culprit, you are an accessory now, right? Can you help me? Even if you kneel down now and use Buddhist methods to save them, , Don¡¯t they hate you in the underworld?¡±
Cui Lueshang, who was a little lost, looked at the big dog with no luster in his eyes. Fang Jie had handed him a short knife before, but he didn't dare to make a move when he looked at the dying Liu Yineng who had been beaten by him. Later, after Fang Jie stabbed Li Yuan's neck with his knife, he moved to Liu Yineng's side tremblingly, raised the knife and trembled for a while before stabbing him. Perhaps because he was too nervous and panicked, he stabbed him four or five times but failed to hit his vital point.
Blood spurted out in spurts, splattering all over his body and face. Liu Yineng was not dead yet.
After Fang Jie killed Li Yuan, he couldn't stand it anymore. He stabbed Liu Yineng in the back of his heart with a knife, hitting the heart exactly.
After killing four people, Fang Jie originally thought he would be frightened and trembled, but after actually killing people, he was surprised to find that he was calm as if he had done nothing. He even felt it carefully, but was a little disappointed to find that he really wasn't excited at all.
¡°Killing people didn¡¯t turn out to be a very exciting thing for him.
This made Fang Jie laugh at himself. When he was in Fan Gu, he firmly believed that he was a person who would not kill anyone. Even if he was not a kind person, at least he was not a vicious person. But now after killing someone, he realized that it was not because of the kindness he still had that he had been resisting killing. But he still had some resistance to killing people in his memory. This was just a habitual thinking.
Just as they were sweating profusely, the back door of the Taoist temple halfway up the mountain slowly opened, and two people wearing green Taoist robes walked slowly to a huge rock protruding from the mountainside. Among them, the old Taoist priest looked at the bottom of the mountain and frowned slightly, asking how old he was. The chubby Taoist priest, who looked to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, said: "Do you want to take care of this serious matter?"
The Taoist priest who asked the question was at least fifty or sixty years old. He wore a Taoist crown to cover his gray hair but not his gray goatee. Compared with the young Taoist priests around him, he looked even more impressive and respected. But he used questions when speaking to the young Taoists around him, and his tone was very respectful.
This little Taoist priest is young and very fat. A Taoist robe that was originally very elegant was worn on him, but it was so tight that it seemed like it was going to split due to the fat. So he seemed a little weak when walking and talking, and he didn't know if it was because he was being strangled by the clothes.
His face is very round, so white that no wrinkles can be seen. If he had to use one thing to describe his face, it would be a hot white-flour steamed bun fresh out of the pan.
Not only is he very fat, he is also very short.
I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s because I¡¯m still young and haven¡¯t fully grown up yet.??, his height is barely level with the old Taoist's shoulders. He was not wearing a Taoist temple, and his long black hair was tied back casually and let down. It had a smoothness that even women would be jealous of.
"There are so many terrible things in the world, and you have to take care of them alldon't you want to die from exhaustion?"
The young Taoist rolled his eyes at the old Taoist and said angrily: "You woke me up in the dead of night just to show me this? Isn't it just to kill someone When will there be no death in this world? Don't say that you are like this Going down the mountain is a joke. Even if you become a god and can flycan you stop all the bad things in the world by flying around every day?"
He asked three times in a row.
The old Taoist blushed, smiled sarcastically and replied: "Of course not."
"Then you're talking nonsense."
The young Taoist glared at him and said, "If you disturb my sleep, I will make a note of it first. If you bother me over such a trivial matter again in the future, I will drive you down the mountain."
The old Taoist said in fear: "It won't happen next time By the way, Master Xiao will be invited every year when the Martial Arts Academy opens for exams I sent people three times to invite you last time. Do you want to go there this time?" go?"
¡°If you don¡¯t want to go, you won¡¯t go!¡±
The young Taoist waved his hands and said impatiently: "Three senior brothers, one has become the leader of the Taoist sect and has to pretend to be welcomed and escorted all day long, one has disappeared without a trace for ten years, and the other is hiding in the palace as a watchdog. Without freedom who can be as free and happy as I am? What is life is the pursuit of the natural way. What is the way? "
He looked at the old Taoist and said seriously: "You can make your own decisions about eating, drinking, sleeping, and sleeping. This is the great way."
The young Taoist turned back to the Taoist temple. When he was about to enter the door, he turned around and told the old Taoist: "The number of tourists has increased in recent days, and the meat, eggs and fresh vegetables in the temple are not enough. You can go down the mountain to buy some back tomorrow morning"
He looked down the mountain with a trace of pity in his eyes: "If the meat is chopped into pieces, you can't tell whether it is human meat or pork, right? If you make it into steamed buns and sell it, no one will be able to eat it, right? Even if it is eaten, as long as we don't It¡¯s okay to admit it, right?¡±
The old Taoist was so frightened that he took the young Taoist's hand and walked into the yard: "It's time for you to sleep, it's time for you to sleep"
"When you go down the mountain tomorrow, remember to bring me snacks from Song Ji in Xiangcheng, such as pastry cakes and spiced melon seeds. There are also smoked pork legs from Chen Ji, sausages from the old blind man's house, and"
The sound gradually faded away, and the Taoist temple returned to calm again.

Cui Lueshang covered Liu Yineng's body with soil. Seeing Liu Yineng's expression of death, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground again: "What can I do? If someone finds out, my future will be ruined." It¡¯s gone. My father didn¡¯t know how much gold and silver he gave and how many favors he sold to help me find the opportunity to enter the martial arts academy, but I ruined my future If my father found out, wouldn¡¯t he break my legs? ?¡±
"Go ahead!"
The big dog rolled his eyes at him and said angrily: "Everyone has been killed. Are you afraid that it will be useless if you regret it now?"
Cui Lueshang wanted to wipe the sweat from his forehead, but wiped the dirt on his face: "But this matter cannot be hidden after all. Many people know that the five of us visited Mushan together. Li Yuan and the others agreed to This trip was only possible because of my practice, but if I am the only one who returns to Xiangcheng and the four of them fail to go back, the government can easily find out that I killed them. "
¡°It definitely can¡¯t be hidden.¡±
Fang Jie dragged a dead body over and threw it into the pit. He looked at Cui Lueshang and said, "There is no need for you to hide this matter. After burying their bodies in a while, you will rush back to Xiangcheng tomorrow." As soon as the city gate opens, go home as soon as possible and tell your father the truth. It's not your fault, but Li Yuan and the others who wanted to kill you first Your father will naturally help you find a way. We are in Xiangcheng. I'll wait for you, and we'll go to Chang'an together, and I'll have someone to take care of you."
Fang Jie said while burying the soil: "I won't hide it from you even now. I am not hated by Shang Guo, nor am I a businessman doing business in Fangu City. I was recommended by the Fangu City border army to take the exam at the Yanwu Academy this year. Border Army Scout, my name is Fang Jie. Since it is our fate to meet each other, we can take care of each other by going to the Martial Arts Academy to take the exam."
"You are also a candidate of the Yanwu Academy!"
Cui Lueshang was shocked and couldn't help but look at it carefully: "You didn't lie to me?"
"Have you ever been lied to in this matter? Now that I've been lied to you, can you still lie to me in Chang'an?"
Fang Jie smiled and said: "You might as well stop interfering in this matter and rush back to Xiangcheng now. It will be dawn in about two hours."?I rode back in time to enter the city at dawn. Talk to your father when you get back. I guess your father will send you out of the city as soon as possible that day. "
"real?"
Cui Lueshang couldn't help but worry: "What if my father catches me and detains me?"
"Tiger poison doesn't eat its seeds, but your father is willing to spend a lot of money to let you pass the martial arts academy. How can he just watch you ruin your future? Go!"
Fang Jie patted his shoulder and said, "I promise nothing will happen."
Cui Lueshang's explanation made sense after thinking about it. He didn't want to stay in this place for a moment longer, so he simply stood up, clasped his fists and said "Goodbye" before turning around and running away.
After Cui Lueshang disappeared, Mu Xiaoyao jumped down from the tree branch and walked to Fang Jie. He looked at Fang Jie seriously, and then asked seriously: "You killed these people, not just Because you want to kill someone, right?¡±
Fang Jie nodded: "Yes."
"It's not just about helping that idiot once, as you said, right?"
"right!"
Fang Jie nodded again, then looked in the direction where Cui Lueshang disappeared and said in a calm tone: "I am just a small frontier scout. I don't have a noble background or a strong backing. Even if I get to Chang'an City, there will be many hardships and difficulties. Although the Cui family in Xiangcheng is not as rich as the Boling Cui family and has many important officials in the court, it is still a well-known family. Having such a friend by your side will always save you some trouble. "
"So you were plotting against that idiot from the beginning?"
The big dog asked in surprise.
Fang Jie smiled: "I'm helping him, and I'm also helping myself right? Doing good to others means doing good to yourself. This seems to be a Buddhist saying, but it still makes sense."
"If possible, it would be better to make friends with a few powerful people. No matter what, a candidate like me will not have an easy journey in Chang'an City. I will not miss it if I can find a few helpers. I remember leaving Fan Gu I told you when we were in the city, three years ago I relied on you and Shen Qingshen, the seven of them. In the past three years, I relied on you two, but from now on I have to rely more on myself. "
"You have been carrying my belt for fifteen years."
He looked at Mu Xiaoyao and said seriously: "It's time to go by yourself. It's bestto start running." - Didn't finish reading?
