Chapter 542: Poison Doesn't Die? Imprison her!

The strange thing is that after a long time, Xu Qingluan felt as if he was still conscious, yes, it was indeed Zhang Zhun's breathing. At first, she thought it was a hallucination, a hallucination brought from the yang world after a person died. However, slowly, she noticed that something was wrong, as if in addition to Zhang Zhun's breathing, she also noticed the sound of Zhang Zhun's footsteps pacing back and forth.

Xu Qingluan slowly opened her eyes, and sure enough, she saw Zhang Zhun pacing back and forth in front of her, and from time to time, he glanced at her twice, and his eyes were quite strange. Xu Qingluan immediately understood that he was just being tested by Zhang Zhun. He didn't really mean to kill himself. The potion in the white porcelain bottle is not poison at all.

Suddenly, an inexhaustible joy suddenly surged into her heart. The joy of the rest of her life after the catastrophe made her feel like she stood up and cheered. This feeling, she felt like she hadn't had in a long time. As the White Lotus Mother of the Smelling Fragrance Sect, she must maintain a gentle, generous and steady image at all times, and she must suppress her private emotions at all times, whether she is happy or sad, she can't vent her emotions to the fullest.

Everything about her has been bound by the image of Our Lady of the White Lotus. In the eyes of the Smelling Fragrance Sect, she is the Holy Mother of the White Lotus, and the Holy Mother of the White Lotus is her. Our Lady of the White Lotus should be what she should be. All her moral standards must meet the requirements of Our Lady of the White Lotus. If she didn't meet the requirements, she couldn't do it, and she didn't even dare to think about it. She felt that she was not living by herself at all, but by another person, another person called the White Lotus Virgin.

But now, she felt like a real woman. Unconsciously, she unloaded the burden on her body, the aura on her body, all the disguises, and the shell that shrouded her. She was just a woman, a young woman, and a young and beautiful woman. A character like the White Lotus Lady is already dead, already poisoned by poison. Now she no longer has any contact with the White Lotus Virgin.

Seeing Xu Qingluan's face constantly changing, Zhang Zhun didn't mean to speak. Whoever has been tempted like this will need a lot of time to clear their minds. From a certain point of view, Xu Qingluan did die once. At least, deep down in her heart, she did die once. She is no longer the same person she used to be.

Xu Qingluan said slowly: "Zhang Zhun, why are you doing this? ”

Zhang Zhun sighed slightly, and said slowly: "Master Xu, it's a miracle that you can survive until now. ”

Xu Qingluan actually had a rare posture of a little daughter, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, her beautiful cheeks were flushed, and she said a little coquettishly: "The only one who can force the Wenxiang Sect to this point, and who can make me have to commit suicide with medicine, is only you." ”

She suddenly found that her tone of voice was a little wrong, not at all as steady as before, as if it was a little frivolous. What's even more strange is that she feels that after eating the poison sent by Zhang Zhun, instead of hating Zhang Zhun, she is a bit like Zhang Zhun coquettish. It stands to reason that she should hate Zhang Zhun so much, Zhang Zhun is a villain. But she just can't hate it. On the contrary, she felt that her relationship with Zhang Zhun was actually a lot closer.

She could also feel that she loved the sensation in front of her. It was the first time she really felt her inner emotions, and then released them smoothly. From childhood to adulthood, she has wrapped herself in the aura of the White Lotus Virgin, not like a woman at all, but like a puppet, a puppet worshiped by thousands of people but without joy, anger and sorrow.

The person who let her get rid of this puppet role is the man in front of her. I don't know if he did it intentionally or unintentionally, but anyway, he managed to do it. Xu Qingluan firmly believed in his heart that the Holy Mother of the White Lotus had been poisoned. Now she is just another person. Another person who can live in his own world, can have his own joys and sorrows.

Zhang Zhun didn't notice the change in Xu Qingluan's mentality. Sometimes he has very sensitive nerves, and sometimes he has very big nerves. He said solemnly: "I don't rely on force, but on the will of the people. ”

Xu Qingluan once again rarely showed a trace of her little daughter's posture, her eyes became very clear and bright, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, her hands were subconsciously covered together, and she said interestingly: "People's heart? Would you like to hear more? ”

Zhang Zhun clapped his hands and shouted loudly outside: "Dong Shuyan, come in." ”

Dong Shuyan hurriedly came in from the outside, and saw Xu Qingluan sitting there, there seemed to be a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, and for a while, she was a little stunned. She realized that she had never seen Master smile like this before. It's purely a feeling, a gut feeling. She felt that her master suddenly got a lot closer, quite like a spring breeze overnight, and thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloomed.

In fact, when it comes to age, Xu Qingluan will not be much older than Dong Shuyan, and their master-apprentice status was determined at a very young age. In the past, Dong Shuyan felt that her master was always well-behaved, doing things in a proper manner every day, and speaking in a proper manner, as if there was no emotion, not to mention the innocence and cuteness of her daughter's family.

For this reason, Dong Shuyan also complained about the master many times behind her back, feeling that the master was like wood for others, but the master punished her every time. But now, she actually felt that her master seemed to have recovered a little bit of aura. That feeling of curling the corners of the mouth...... Is she coquettish to Zhang Zhun?

For a while, Dong Shuyan felt confused, and she didn't know what happened to the two of them during the time she left. 's own master, would he actually be coquettish to the corners of Zhang Zhun's mouth? If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Dong Shuyan wouldn't have believed it even if she was broken. It's incredible, it's incredible.

Who would have thought that he seemed to be a master like wood, and he actually knew how to the corners of his mouth to be coquettish! Or coquettish to Zhang Zhun! At the beginning, Dong Shuyan thought that she was dazzled and hallucinated. As a result, after rubbing her eyes, she found that everything she saw was still there. She had to believe that everything she saw was indeed true.

Xu Qingluan suddenly turned her head to look at Dong Shuyan, her eyes were full of love, as if her sister was looking at her sister, and said gently: "Yan'er, what are you doing in a daze?" Sit down! ”

Dong Shuyan's mind buzzed again, and it felt as if something had exploded. It seems that someone in her mind has repeatedly told her that your master is so gentle in his speech, not speaking with a straight face, but so caring for himself......

Because the contrast is so great, Dong Shuyan can't believe that her master has become so gentle, as if she is her sister. When she was suspicious, she suddenly saw the fragments of the porcelain vase on the ground, and couldn't help but be stunned, and asked suspiciously: "Zhang Zhun, what are you doing?" What did you eat for my master? ”

Zhang Zhun said bluntly: "Your master drank the poison just now, and she has already died once." She is no longer the same person she used to be. ”

Dong Shuyan was slightly stunned, and then said in a lost voice: "You are so ruthless!" ”

Zhang Zhun said coldly: "You should thank your master, if it weren't for her decision, she was determined to go to the trouble with her body." None of you and your backbone men will survive. ”

Dong Shuyan said angrily: "You! ”

Zhang Zhun said coldly: "The Tartars are about to launch the third invasion, and I will not allow any discordant factors to appear on my territory." If you masters and apprentices try to play any tricks on me, you will all die! ”

Xu Qingluan and Dong Shuyan were both slightly stunned, their beautiful faces changed in unison, and Qi Qi said in a lost voice: "The Tartar is going to launch the third invasion?" ”

Zhang Zhun snorted coldly in his nostrils and said disdainfully: "They are coming for me, what are you nervous about?" ”

Xu Qingluan wanted to speak and stopped.

Dong Shuyan said angrily: "Hey! Zhang Zhun, don't think that we don't dare to kill the Tartars because we smell the incense! We just don't have the power! Sell me the weapons of your Tiger Army, and I'll kill a few Tartars for you!" ”

Zhang Zhun said unceremoniously: "Let's take care of your Xiangxiang Sect first, and kill the Tartars!" If you really want to kill the Tartars, why didn't you kill them outside Dengzhou before? ”

Dong Shuyan rolled her eyes in anger.

Zhang Zhun ignored her and said to Xu Qingluan: "Master Xu, let me ask you a serious question, do you really think that without a biological mother, a vacuum hometown can be realized?" ”

Xu Qingluan said reverently: "Of course. ”

Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice: "So, how are you going to achieve it?" ”

Dong Shuyan interjected and said: "Overthrow the current imperial court and establish a new society!" ”

Zhang Zhun sneered slightly, and asked slowly, "Then how are you going to overthrow the imperial court?" ”

Dong Shuyan came as soon as she opened her mouth, and said without thinking: "Build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become the king." ”

Zhang Zhun couldn't help laughing, knocked lightly on the table with both hands, and said loudly: "It's really amazing to build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become the king!" So, I ask you, where are your walls? Where is the grain? ”

Dong Shuyan said reflexively: "The wall is in the hearts of each of our disciples, and the food is in the enemy. As long as we mobilize everyone and have the courage to forge ahead, we will be able to turn the enemy's food into our own. The more enemies we destroy, the more food we accumulate. ”

Zhang Zhun said meaningfully: "What do you mean, you are ready to make a living from long-term looting?" It never occurred to you to produce your own food? ”

Dong Shuyan said unceremoniously: "Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs; The saints are unkind, and they use the people as dogs. Those powerful landlords, gentry and magnates, without a good person, what is there to rob? Didn't you Tiger Ben Army rob the big ones? ”

Zhang Zhun squinted at Xu Qingluan, and said slowly, "Master Xu, is this your disciple?" ”

Dong Shuyan was suddenly annoyed, and she wanted to argue again, but finally looked at Xu Qingluan's face habitually. She felt that her master seemed to be very different from before, as if he was a lot more gentle and delicate. It's just that she was used to being reprimanded by her master before, but she didn't dare to go beyond it in the slightest.

Xu Qingluan smiled slightly, and said euphemistically: "Yan'er, don't be angry, you first listen to what Lord Du Du has to say." ”

Dong Shuyan looked at her master in amazement again. She had a feeling that her master was really a different person. In the past, she would never be so gentle when talking to herself. As long as she said a word, or even a look, she could only obediently face the wall and think about the past. Could it be that Zhang Zhun's poison is really so powerful? Can you change a person? I knew that I would have gotten some poison for my master...... Amitabha, sins and sins.

Zhang Zhun nodded, and said bluntly: "Xu Tianshi, no biological mother, vacuum hometown, is nothing more than an alternative saying for the world to be the same." To build a Datong society, it is useless to just shout slogans. To rebel, you need people, money, food, guns, and the hearts of the people. People, you have. Money, a little. Grain, a little. Guns, basically none. ”

Xu Qingluan's face was obviously a little hesitant, and he stopped talking. Obviously, Zhang Zhun said it too bluntly, and it was difficult for her to accept it. Accustomed to immersing herself in the role of Our Lady of the White Lotus, she is even better at agitating speech. Although she has now broken free from the role of the White Lotus Madonna, it will take more time to completely undo the effects of this role.

His eyes swept across the two masters and apprentices, and Zhang Zhun said unabashedly: "I defeated you for a very simple reason. I have more men than you, more money than you, more food than you, more guns than you, and more hearts of the people than you. ”

Dong Shuyan said unconvinced: "We also have the will of the people in the Smell Fragrance Sect. ”

Zhang Zhun sneered contemptuously and unabashedly, and said firmly: "You don't call the people popular at all, they can only be called temptation." Do you think you can get things done by gathering a rabble? You fight local tyrants, share floating wealth, and divide food, which has indeed attracted a lot of greedy people, and can coerce a large number of people in a short period of time, but what about after the floating wealth is divided? What happens after the food is distributed? Have you ever thought about using these people for a long time? ”

Dong Shuyan was very unwilling, but she couldn't find a place to refute. Because, Zhang Zhun happened to talk about the sore spot of the Smelling Fragrance Sect. Every time the Wenxiang Sect revolted, at the beginning, it was huge and mighty, and a large number of people followed in several states and counties within a radius, and it was common to coerce hundreds of thousands of people. However, with the advent of the repression of officers and soldiers, the personnel will continue to be scattered, and in the end they will be completely gone.

The reason for this, as Zhang Zhun said, is that many people come for the food and floating wealth distributed by the Smelling Fragrance Sect. If there is food and floating wealth, they can still unite around the Smelling Fragrance Sect, and even, stimulate them with wealth, they still have the courage to fight with the officers and soldiers. Conquering cities or something, they are the most active. Because after the city is broken, more supplies can be looted. But as soon as the floating wealth was distributed and the food was eaten, they scattered in all directions.

Later, even the officers and soldiers noticed this. When the Wenxiangjiao uprising, the officers and soldiers often did not directly send troops to suppress it, but divided the troops to guard various places, so that the Wenxiangjiao could not grab more food and floating wealth. After a period of time, the food that the Smelling Fragrance Sect had looted was consumed, and it would continue to disperse. At that time, the officers and men will be dispatched to clean up and suppress the situation, and they will certainly get twice the result with half the effort.

Every time the Wenxiang Sect starts an incident, hundreds of thousands of people gather, and food is a huge pressure. Unless more states and counties can be raided and more grain can be looted, the food will be eaten quickly and the people will soon disperse. Once the coerced people dispersed, only a few light pole commanders remained in the Smelling Fragrance Sect.

This time, the Smelling Fragrance Sect started an incident in Laiyang, and it was also plagued by food problems. Due to the blockade of the Tiger Army, the disciples of the Xiangxiang Sect in Laiyang and Qixia could not eat enough at all. I can't even eat enough, so naturally there are countless complaints, and I don't have a good impression of the Wenxiang Sect. When the Tiger Ben Army came, he didn't have the heart to resist at all, even Wang Yilun only had to flee far away.

Zhang Zhun continued: "Do you have a complete program? Your teachings are hollow and fatal, and they are not feasible to implement at all. You are still accustomed to using the next three indiscriminate assassination methods, but you have not thought about defeating the enemy in a dignified manner. In this world, who relied on the means of the next three indiscriminate to get it? Relying on the means of the inferior three indiscriminate, it itself will fall behind, and it will never become a big thing. ”

"You claim to have ten divine soldiers, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black, white and gray, it sounds like a cowhide, but how many people have really received professional military training? Taking up arms is not the same as being a soldier! No training, no organization, no command, no discipline, no matter how many people there are, they are all scum! Look at the Shaanxi rebellion, there are often tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, but they are beaten by Lu Xiangsheng's thousands of people. It's always the same sentence, soldiers are not expensive! ”

Xu Qingluan said convincingly: "Listening to your words, it is better to read for ten years, and Qingluan has been taught." ”

Dong Shuyan knew that Zhang Zhun was reasonable, but she was unconvinced and whispered: "Teach people one thing at a time, can you do it very well?" ”

Zhang Zhun casually threw out a piece of yellow paper and said proudly: "If I don't do well, your master will send me your birthday?" ”

Dong Shuyan took it and took a look, her face was immediately red, she was anxious and angry, and her chest under the light veil kept rising and falling, but she couldn't say a word. It turned out that on the yellow paper, it was her Dong Shuyan's birthday.

At that time, the birth date of a woman was very secret, and it was generally only before marriage that the husband would be invited to survey the birth date of both men and women. Xu Qingluan gave her birthday to Zhang Zhun, so naturally she was going to marry her to Zhang Zhun. Now, Zhang Zhun used this to refute, and almost didn't make Dong Shuyan angry.

In fact, she knew very well that many of Zhang Zhun's words had hit the fatal point of the Wenxiang Sect. However, the more she was poked by Zhang Zhun, the more uncomfortable she became. People love face, and they thought they were doing a good job, but in the end, they were taught a lesson and said that they were useless, who can stand it? She was originally a person who wanted to save face.

Zhang Zhun stretched out his hand to take the yellow paper back, put it in his arms and put it away, and said coldly: "The life of the parents, the words of the matchmaker." Your master is your biological parents, since she is in charge and promises you to me, even if you want to fly, you can't fly! ”

Dong Shuyan was so angry that she couldn't say a word.

Who would have thought that things would change so dramatically?

Accidentally, I actually became Zhang Zhun's woman! There is nothing more bizarre in this world! Dong Shuyan felt that her eyes were dark. Well, from the bottom of her heart, Dong Shuyan is not very resistant to Zhang Zhun, after all, she has been in contact with her before, and she has a little understanding of Zhang Zhun's character. It's not too bad to be his woman.

It's just that she was sold like this in a daze, and Dong Shuyan is still depressed enough. It's just that this marriage was promised by Xu Qingluan. If you say it, the water that spills out, with Xu Qingluan's identity, it is impossible to take back this promise. In other words, she is Zhang Zhun's woman, unless there is a miracle, it is impossible to change.

Xu Qingluan's cheeks flushed slightly, and she remembered her previous promise. I don't know if Zhang Zhun still remembers her previous promise. If Zhang Zhun remembers, it will be troublesome. In this world, there are sisters who serve one husband, but there is no master and apprentice who serve one husband. That's taboo. I hope Zhang Zhun doesn't remember anything.

After a moment of deep silence, Xu Qingluan stabilized his thoughts and said slowly: "Zhang Zhun, if you can accept Yan'er, I will be relieved." From now on, I will leave the matter of Wenxiang Sect to her with full authority. Where to go by smelling incense is all in your thoughts. Since then, I, Xu Qingluan, have often accompanied the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha, isolated from the world, and never asked about the world again. ”

Zhang Zhun nodded, and said slowly: "Master Xu, if you want to become a monk and practice, you can." However, there are two conditions. First, you have to lead the practice. Second, you can't leave my side. ”

Dong Shuyan said angrily and helplessly: "Master is already about to become a monk, do you still want to imprison her?" Since she said that she was isolated from the world, it was isolated from the world, and the matter of smelling incense had nothing to do with her anymore. ”

Zhang Zhun said coldly: "The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop. Your master wants to be isolated from the world, and other remnants of the Smelling Fragrance Sect may not want her to be isolated from the world. Your master doesn't want to make trouble, but they may force your master to make trouble. Unless your master is dead, she will never want to leave my side. If you feel that your master is very wronged, okay, there is a bottle of Heding Red, a genuine poison, as long as your master eats it, it will be a hundred. ”

With that, he took out another porcelain vase and put it on the table with a bang.

Dong Shuyan snatched the porcelain vase, pulled out the cork, sniffed it lightly, and found that it was really Heding Red, and her color suddenly changed. She herself is a researcher of poisons, so she naturally knows how powerful Heding Red is. She hurriedly stuffed the cork, hid the porcelain vase in her arms, and then gritted her teeth, and said angrily but strongly: "Zhang Zhun, count you ruthless!" ”
