Chapter 142: Three years from now will be the time to fly to the sky
Fang Henshui never thought that he would have his flesh mutilated. When fear filled his heart, even the physical pain was blocked. There was no doubt that the fear in his heart was more unbearable than the physical pain. It was his own waist knife that cut his flesh, and how could the delicate-looking hand holding the knife be so vicious?
The knife slipped from Fang Henshui's arm and with a light twist, a bloody piece of flesh was sliced ??off. At this time, Fang Henshui, who was in extreme fear, even thought about why the hateful young monk chose to drop the knife on his arm instead of elsewhere.
Relatively speaking, there is more meat on the buttocks and thighs.
But if his thighs and buttocks were cut, he would be unable to walk, and if his shoulders or back were cut, it would be difficult for him to lift the sliding pole.
Even the sword was so purposeful, how cold and calm the heart of this young monk was.
The flesh left Fang Henshui's body, and he covered his mouth with his other hand, not daring to cry out. Now he realized that what the two monks said before was true and not a joke, and he finally felt how close death was to him. When he was in that small county, as a head catcher, it was not like he had never seen corpses. But he has become accustomed to the death of others, and when he faces the threat of death, he is obviously not ready yet.
"I won't run away, never!"
Fang Henshui squeezed out these words through his teeth, his forehead already covered with sweat.
"Very well, let's go find water. If you're not tired, you can find some more food, because we're all hungry."
Chen Ya gave a faint order, then carried the piece of meat back to the place where he rested and sat down. He looked at the bloody piece of meat in his hand, frowned and wanted to throw it away.
"Do you know why I want you to take this Sui man with you?"
The old monk asked.
Chen Ya said: "Because it is more convenient for someone to show up. Once it is determined which Sui pursuers have gone to the front, we can abandon this useless person. Now he is just a tool."
"No"
The old monk smiled and said, "What is that in your hand?"
"It's human flesh"
"It's also food"
The old monk said calmly: "When facing a crisis, you may not be able to find food for a long time. But if you bring a living demon, you can at least eat for many days."
When these words came out of the mouth of the kind-hearted old monk, even Chen Ya was so frightened that he trembled. He had never found the Master to be such a cruel person. In his impression, when the Master encountered an ant while walking, he would stop and let the ant crawl over first, for fear of stepping on it. But now, the words that came out of Master's mouth were like a cold knife piercing Chen Ya's heart.
"This is human flesh"
"No, this is the flesh of a demon."
"Master, you said before that this Sui man is still a human being and not a demon before the demonic nature is born in his heart."
"When you cut off this piece of meat, the demonic nature in his heart is already alive."
The old monk looked at the direction where Fang Henshui disappeared and said: "If you feel it carefully, you will feel the anger and rage in that Sui man's heart now. If given a chance, he will kill you at all costs. This is the devil's nature, when The next time you cut him off, he will become a demon."
"But if the disciple doesn't cut off his flesh, won't he become a demon?"
"I have no idea"
The old monk shook his head and said: "But what you have to remember is that Sui people are all demons. So killing Sui people, or even eating Sui people are all ways of subduing demons. Only by letting go of your obsessions will you realize more How peaceful and happy would the world be if there were no Sui people and no monsters in the world, but all were followers of our Buddhist sect?¡±
"Disciple understands."
Chen Ya nodded, thinking about what the old monk said, he found that it really made sense. If Buddhist disciples all took it as their duty to eliminate demons, then there would be no place like the Great Sui Dynasty in this world where demons abound. And if there was no Sui Dynasty, the world of Buddhism would definitely be full of truth and goodness.
"Master, if we walk back slowly like this, will it delay things? Didn't you say that the Sui people might launch troops against the empire? If we rush back and tell Meng Ge Khan the news, let him do it If you are well prepared, then the Sui people's conspiracy will not succeed."
"Where is your white tiger?"
The old monk asked.
Chen Ya was startled, and then said with some disappointment: "Leave it outside Chang'an City, in the forest where the Sui man was captured. But the disciple hadn't summoned it before and didn't know where it went. "
"It's back."
The old monk smiled and said: "I have written down the news that should be brought back and hid it on the white tiger. It knows the way back, and it will definitely go faster than you and me."
"Master's wonderful plan"
Chen Ya bowed his head and said.
"So we have to go slower, because if we don't go back, the Sui people who are chasing us will think that the news has not been leaked. The faster we go back, the Sui people's plan will be advanced. Just let Bai Hu go back and spread the news. , you and I simply stay in Da Sui for a while longer."
"Master, who is the great demon that you mentioned before traveling to the west?"
"I don't know"
The old monk slowly closed his eyes and looked to the west: "Don't worry, if even Junior Brother Shiyuan can't stop him, Senior Brother Da Zizai will take action. If Senior Brother Da Zizai can't stop him, King Ming will naturally take action. I can't think of this. There is no one in the world that the King of Ming cannot suppress."
A mile away, Fang Henshui found a stream and hesitated for a long time, but finally did not dare to escape. He knew that with his martial arts skills, he wouldn't be able to get very far before he would be captured again. Now, besides dealing with the two monks carefully, he could only wait for Sui's pursuers to come as soon as possible.
When he thought of this, he quietly tore off a piece of his clothes and tied it to a small tree by the stream.
If I had great cultivation, I would definitely eat those two monster monks alive!
He made this wish.

It was already dark when Fang Jie returned to Sanjin Houfu. In the Qionglu, His Majesty asked him about his origin again. The lie he had originally made up was told again, but Fang Jie knew that His Majesty might not really believe it. After all, there are several bodyguards with good cultivation around him. It is impossible for a young man from a poor family to have such strength.
In Fang Jie¡¯s narrative, he is the child of a very wealthy businessman. His father was killed by bandits on his way to Fangu for business, and several bodyguards at his home rescued him desperately. Because he was worried about being retaliated against, he joined the Fan Gu border army. Only then did he achieve the miracle of twenty-one military exploits, and only then did he achieve the miracle of the current nine-door excellence.
Before he left Qionglu, the emperor gave him the title of right servant. This is not an official position, nor is it a title. Children of aristocratic families will almost always have such a title when they are born. But there is no doubt that with such a title, Fang Jie's identity has changed.
Far away, Fang Jie saw lanterns and colorful decorations in front of the gate of Sanjin Houfu.
He was surprised for a moment, and was shocked when he thought of the trouble that girl had encountered. He thought that a decree came down from the palace and Wu Yinyu would have to enter the palace, so he put up lanterns and decorations. So he quickened his pace, but when he reached the door, he realized that it was a false alarm.
This scene was actually specially arranged by Sanjinhou to celebrate him.
Fang Jie had to be a little moved. Wu Yiyi was the second noble person he met after arriving in Chang'an. The first was Mr. Zhuo. It is undeniable that Wu Yiyi was the most helpful to Fang Jie.
When he walked into the Hou Mansion, every servant greeted him with a sincere smile. Fang Jie liked this feeling, which gave him the illusion that he was back home.
When he walked into the living room, he saw Wu Yiyi with a smile on his face.
There were also Shen Qingshan, Mu Xiaoyao, Big Dog, Qilin, wine, sex and wealth, but they didn't see the charming little girl Wu Yinyu. Fang Jie guessed that the little girl must still be angry with her father, so he didn't pay attention. Facing everyone's smiles, Fang Jie was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say first.
"congratulations!"
The fat man came up first and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Master Fang, you are the first person in the Sui Dynasty in a hundred years. I don't know what auspicious words to say to express my congratulations for such a happy event."
Fang Jie looked at his outstretched hand, scratched his hair in embarrassment and said, "When I entered the house, everyone in the house was saying congratulations. All the money they had with them was given out."
Even more embarrassed than him, the drunkard withdrew his hand and said with a smile that it's okay, it's okay, my family.
Everyone laughed, Wu Daodao pointed to the table already filled with wine and food and said: "Come, sit down, no matter what, you have to drink a few more drinks tonight. To celebrate, you have been appreciated by His Majesty and entered the martial arts academy as the top one. . 2. Congratulations, I have a sharp eye and made a bet before you became successful."
Fang Jie chuckled and said, "Why do I feel a little guilty?"
"Very fake"
Wu Yiyi sat down, poured a glass of wine for Fang Jie with his own hands and said: "Before I celebrate your victory today, there is something I must tell you first I will leave early tomorrow morning, and you will stay in this house first. Hidden jade is already in the afternoonLet's set off and return to Qingle Mountain Yiqi Temple. This yard will be taken care of by you. "
"You want to leave Beijing?"
Fang Jie asked in surprise.
Wu Yiyi nodded and said: "His Majesty welcomes you in such a big way today, haven't you guessed what it means?"
"I have guessed somethingI am afraid that His Majesty will announce the use of foreign troops soon."
"That's right, so I'm leaving the Imperial Capital."
Wu Yiyi paused and said: "It doesn't matter if I tell you something now. Your Majesty started preparing for the Western Expedition a long time ago. In order to hide it from others, all the weapons, armor, food and equipment used in the Western Expedition were made of Our goods are transported all over the world to the northwest. Not only that, the elite soldiers mobilized from all over the world are also transported quietly in our fleet of goods. At this time, my boss, who is well-known in the world, has to go to the northwest for dispatch. "
Fang Jie was stunned for a moment, and then he understood the status of Sanjinhou in the court and the importance he held in His Majesty's heart. His Majesty could safely leave such an important matter to a trading firm. It can be seen that His Majesty's trust in Wu Yiyi is far greater than that of most officials in the imperial court.
"Now I realize how thick my legs are."
Fang Jie sighed: "Those who make money from the imperial court are the most powerful businessmen."
"Fool!"
Wu Yiyi cursed, seeming a little disappointed with Fang Jie's reaction. But he did not continue on this topic, and instead talked about Fang Jie's entry into the martial arts academy. Fang Jie didn't care about the meaning behind Wu Daodao's stupid sentence. Because he didn't think about it carefully, he was extremely surprised when he learned the truth later. On a normal day, Fang Jie might have thought deeply about the word "idiot" for a while. But today, his mind was a little confused because of happiness.
"You don't need to worry about anything anymore. Since His Majesty has held you up with one hand, he will not allow others to destroy you easily. You must know that you now represent more than just the second person in the Yanwu Academy to win the Nine Gates. Excellent candidates also represent His Majesty¡¯s importance to children from poor families.¡±
"I know."
Fang Jie nodded.
"Therefore, you must not disappoint His Majesty."
Wu Daodao's tone suddenly became serious: "You should understand that you are standing very high now. Because you stand high, you can touch things that you could not touch before, and gain the respect of others. But it is also possible that because you stand high If it is too high, you will fall to death. I have a saying for you, I hope you remember it.¡±
"Please give me some advice, Lord Marquis."
"What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Wu Yiyi said seriously: "Always think about these five words before doing anything, and you will become calm and sober."
¡°This war is not going to end anytime soon.¡±
Wu Yiyi raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.
"Three years laterif you are not dead yet, then it will really be the time to soar into the sky."
