Chapter 172: Starting from Scratch (5)
A trace of black gas climbed onto Xu Jun's cheeks, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and there seemed to be a faint glint of blood in his pupils. The reason why people in the demon gate are equal to evil people, acting unscrupulously and lawlessly is only one of the reasons. The main reason is that the Demon Gate Exercises are extremely evil, although they are easy to achieve quickly, they will make people change their minds, and even go mad and become cruel and bloodthirsty murderers.
Xu Jun used to have the Golden Guan Yu Lock Technique to protect his body, and his spiritual power was profound, no matter what kind of evil martial arts he cultivated, he could maintain a Dao heart, so that he would not be invaded by evil qi, and his temperament changed greatly. But now that he has lost all his spiritual power, he can only rely on his own willpower to suppress the evil qi, and it is inevitable that he will be a little unstable.
Fortunately, he is insane and cynical on the surface. But he is extremely stubborn in his bones, and has his own set of rules for how to behave in the world, although he is not a good person, he will never be a villain. He sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. Intention to guard the dantian, hold the yuanyi. He continued to suppress and dissolve the evil qi in his body, and it took him nearly four hours of cultivation to absorb the Yuan Yin of these three hundred death row prisoners.
Feng Yaoyang stood at the entrance of the dungeon to protect Xu Jun to prevent someone from suddenly breaking in and disturbing Xu Jun's practice. However, there was always an intriguing smile on his face, as if he was a little carried away.
It's easy to kill an enemy, but the best way to face an enemy is not to destroy it, but to assimilate it. Killing is not killing, everyone in this world may become an enemy of the imperial court, killing will only make them unite + together and resist desperately. But brainwash and assimilate them, and they will stand on your side and willingly die for you.
Of the 300 female prisoners, many of them did not die for their crimes. But what does it matter? It's just a group of women with no background, who cares if they live or die. In order to achieve the goal, the necessary sacrifices are inevitable.
Xu Jun needed a high-sounding excuse to absorb Yuan Yin with peace of mind, and Feng Yaoyang gave him this excuse. Anything. As long as there is a first time, there will be a second time sooner or later.
What Feng Yaoyang hates most is the kind of person who has no desires and no desires, this kind of person is extremely difficult to deal with. He was never afraid that the enemy had ambitions and desires, and those who coveted money would be bribed with silver, and those who coveted power would give him an official position, and those who coveted beautiful women would have women. As long as the other party has desire, Feng Yaoyang has a way to pull the other party into the water.
It was a silent contest, far more terrifying than a war of swords and swords. Feng Yaoyang was once defeated by Xu Jun's innocence and was almost brainwashed by Xu Jun. This made him very unhappy, he was an ambitious man who would not be willing to do nothing. This is his counterattack, he wants to drag Xu Jun into the water and let Xu Jun sit on his boat.
Wanyan Zongtian snuggled in the corner, snoring and snoring. Xu Jun suddenly opened his eyes and slapped the wall of the prison with one palm, and the entire prison shook twice in an instant, and dust kept falling from the top of his head. He clenched his fists. He grinned. It feels great to have power again, as long as he has enough power, he is the true god of this world.
He slowly stood up from the ground, kicked Wanyan Zongtian awake and said, "It's almost dark. Rise and shine. ā
Wanyan Zongtian blinked, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and said, "It's dark?" Didn't you wake up until dawn? ā
"Then you stay here, Young Master Ben will send you a pair of shackles, and you will always wait here for dawn." Xu Jun couldn't stop sneering. Wanyan Zongtian glanced at the three hundred female corpses that had been dead for a long time, and his face was extremely old, and he subconsciously shivered. Hurriedly got up from the ground. He patted the dust off his body and followed behind Xu Jun, and the three of them quickly left the prison and returned to the carriage.
The carriage continued to drive, and Xu Jun sat opposite Feng Yaoyang without saying a word, just staring at Feng Yaoyang's eyes tightly, and seeing that Feng Yaoyang's scalp was a little numb. He probed, "What's wrong?" Do you envy this young master for looking better than you now? You don't have to be discouraged, it's a big deal that Ben Shao took the initiative to use the power of the Baolong clan to get you some ointment to smear it to ensure that you return to your original appearance. ā
Xu Jun said with an unkind face: "Young Master Ben is envious of a fart, but he is just a little white face, what is there to envy." Young Master Ben just doesn't understand, how could you suddenly be so kind and prepare so many female prisoners for Young Master Ben to practice, there won't be any conspiracy, right? ā
Feng Yaoyang was speechless, and scolded in his heart: "Bastard, it's really not a thing. You used to be more fucking white-faced than Lao Tzu, why didn't you look at yourself with contempt? ā
He smiled slightly and said: "You and I have different positions, you are a wanted criminal in the imperial court, and I am the young master of the Baolong clan, it is normal to have a solution." But in private, we actually have no grievances, and now you want to go to the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace to get back the formula of the elixir of immortality, which can be regarded as serving the imperial court, of course I will do my best to help you. ā
Xu Jun frowned, as if he was deeply skeptical of Feng Yaoyang's words. But everyone is on the same side now, and it's no good for the relationship to be too stiff. In fact, Xu Jun has been thinking about a question in the past few days, if he is in the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace, as Guiguzi's own son, asks Guiguzi to hand over the formula of the elixir of immortality, will Guiguzi agree.
He really wanted to try it, but he didn't have the courage because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to accept the cruel truth and have a psychological breakdown. He subconsciously knew that Guiguzi was ambitious and ambitious, and the concept of family affection was extremely weak. If Guiguzi cared so much about family affection, he would not have abandoned him as soon as he was born because his qualifications were too poor.
Wanyan Zongtian blinked a pair of small eyes, coughed twice, and said, "That, don't we need to have dinner?" ā
People are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry. Wanyan Zongtian really didn't understand, why was he the only one who cared about eating, didn't the master have to eat? He even said that there was a question he had always wanted to know, if he didn't eat, drink or sleep after eating the elixir of immortality, would he die? This question is estimated to be answered only after Xu Jun gets the formula of the elixir of immortality.
"Eat when you wake up, you're having a good day."
Feng Yaoyang picked up a bag of steamed buns with meat, threw it to Wanyan Zongtian, leaned in the corner and closed his eyes, and stopped talking. The carriage hurried through the night, and before the next night fell, it arrived at the post station, changed coachmen and horses, and continued on its way.
Daqin's transportation began to take shape, and many towns and cities had set up post stations, which allowed horse-drawn carriages to travel around the clock, and each time they reached the next post station, they changed coachmen and eight horses. But. At that time, there were only 20 million people in China, and not all places were inhabited. Where there is no one, there is naturally no post station.
The carriage drove for more than half a month, and came to the edge of the Great Qin territory, a remote place called Quyang, and stopped.
The new coachman is in his fifties, surnamed Luo, dark-skinned, has driven a carriage for half his life, and has extremely rich experience.
"This young man. There were still five days to go to the next town, and we had to bring enough dry food and water, and we would travel during the day and rest at night. ā
Luo Laohan didn't know the identities of Feng Yaoyang and Xu Jun, in fact, except for the master of the Baolong clan who drove the carriage at the beginning, and the secret agent who had been waiting for Feng Yaoyang to arrive at the post station for a long time, the coachmen on the road didn't know who Feng Yaoyang was.
All they knew was that they were hired to drive the wagons at a high price. As long as you don't sleep for a day or two, you can get a large sum of silver. Little did they know, though, when the carriage arrived at the next station. They were secretly executed, and externally claimed to have died on the way.
And those subordinates of Feng Yaoyang don't know what Feng Yaoyang and Xu Jun want to do. There are many people with mixed mouths, and it is inevitable that they will cause trouble. This mission is a matter of importance. The fewer people who know, the better.
Feng Yaoyang glared at Luo Laohan coldly, which made Luo Laohan feel quite frightened, after all, he had lived a lot of age. After reading countless people, he instinctively noticed that Feng Yaoyang's body was extremely murderous.
Feng Yaoyang narrowed his eyes and said, "Is this the only way to reach the next town?" ā
Luo Laohan pondered for a moment and said: "There is still one more road, but this road is not very smooth, and there are many mountain bandits. ā
"Oh" Feng Yaoyang narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't the local government care?" ā
"This little old man doesn't dare to say it"
"But it doesn't matter, I promise no one will hurt you for this."
Feng Yaoyang's words are extremely worth considering, but unfortunately no one listens carefully. Luo Laohan gritted his teeth and said: "The government and the bandits are colluding, and it would be good if they didn't arrest those past merchants." Shaoxia, there are people on it, otherwise ordinary merchants passing by, the government will deliberately fingerprint another road, so that the merchants can send them to the door for the mountain bandits to slaughter. ā
"Hmph, you're not a little daring." Feng Yaoyang's face was angry, and he asked Luo Laohan, "How long will it take for the other road to reach the next town?" ā
"If you work around the clock, it only takes two days"
"Okay, just go from this road, I want to see what mountain bandits are so powerful."
"But..."
"Nothing, but I promise you won't die at the hands of the bandits. These two silver tickets, you give to your family, so that they don't have to worry about you. ā
Money can make grinding ghosts, and the people of the Qin Dynasty have a limited lifespan due to their difficult lives, and they generally return to heaven in their sixties. Luo Laohan gritted his teeth, took the silver and put it close to him. He had lived most of his life and had never seen so much silver. Anyway, he didn't have much to live, and for the sake of the silver, he gave it up.
Moreover, although he is a small commoner, he also wants to do something that will make future generations proud before returning to heaven. He went home to arrange the funeral, took a firewood knife and pinned it to his waist, and hurried back to catch the car on the road.
Xu Jun whistled with an indifferent expression. He has always been afraid that the world will not be chaotic, how can such an exciting thing be missing him. Wanyan Zongtian cried with a sad face, wanting to cry without tears, as if he knew that it would be no good to be with you.
The carriage galloped for more than an hour and came to the foot of a hill where birds don't. Luo Laohan, who was driving the car, suddenly stopped the carriageway: "Guest officer, we are in trouble." ā
Feng Yaoyang and Xu Jun glanced at each other, and thought: "Which person who doesn't have long eyes dares to rob Lao Tzu, isn't this a long life." ā
The two opened the car door and jumped down, Feng Yaoyang looked at the empty road in front of the carriage, and said in surprise: "What happened, why did you stop the carriage?" ā
Luo Laohan pointed to the distance and said, "Guest officer, you can see for yourself"
Xu Jun and Feng Yaoyang squinted their eyes and took a closer look, and they were stunned for a moment. Ahead, in the middle of the road, an inn slices the road in half. Xu Jun smacked his tongue and said, "I'm cĒo, it's okay like this, it's too exaggerated." ā
Xu Jun is no stranger to this kind of thing of blocking roads and robbing, and he himself has done a lot of it. But building an inn in the middle of the road and cutting the road off completely, he had never encountered it in his two lifetimes. Who said that robbery has no technical content, this is not only technology, but also art.
Feng Yaoyang carefully observed the terrain, on both sides of the inn, there were high mountains on one side, and dense bamboo forests on the other, which were tightly sealed. There is not a single void. A man could have crawled past the inn, but the horse had no idea.
"You hold this token, you stay here, don't come forward. As soon as you realize that something is wrong, go back the way you came, give the token to the person who arranged for you to pull us, and he will find a way to save us. ā
Luo Laohan nodded, took the token and put it close to him, turned the carriage around, and was ready to flee at any time. Wanyan Zongtian curled up. His face turned a little pale and said: "It's too dangerous for this old man to stay here alone, so it's better for me to stay, so that I can take care of it." ā
Luo Laohan straightened his waist, took out the firewood knife behind his back, waved it twice, and said: "No, don't look at my old man's age, his physique is still very strong, ordinary bandits, three or two can still deal with it." ā
Wanyan Zongtian was speechless. Xu Jun glared at him playfully, and said with a smile: "It's not a small courage, you have learned to report yourself." Master Ben will fulfill you and give you a chance. Yaoyang and I stayed here to pick up. Go up and find out. ā
After Yan Zongtian stumbled, he almost fainted, he shook his head desperately and said, "I've thought about it, it's better for the three of us to be together." It is not right to go it alone. ā
Xu Jun laughed and said, "Your consciousness has suddenly become so high, Young Master Ben is very pleased." ā
Wanyan Zongtian said shyly: "Where is it?"
"When is it, you two still talk so much nonsense. Since the other party dared to be mad enough to build an inn in the middle of the road. There must be something to rely on, but let's be careful. Don't be careless and capsize in the gutter. ā
Feng Yaoyang really can't bear it, these two stupid people are endless, when they go to the kiln, so much nonsense.
Xu Jun snorted coldly and said: "It's just a group of bandits, how capable can they be, when Young Master Ben kills all these bandits, there will be no future troubles."
Xu Jun raised his feet and walked towards the inn, Feng Yaoyang and Wanyan Zongtian followed closely behind. After walking about 100 meters, the three of them saw a plaque hanging on the inn. Three big characters were written on it: "Ghost God Residence." Xu Jun smiled disdainfully, a group of robbing mountain bandits, their tone was quite big, and they were not afraid of the wind flashing their tongues
The noisy sound of fist slashing came from the inn, Xu Jun frowned, it seems that the people in the inn have not yet discovered them, so it is good to take these thieves in a nest, so as not to endanger the past merchants.
Xu Jun kicked open the door of the inn and broke in viciously. Looking around, my jaw almost dropped to the ground. The inn was empty, and there was no one, but he clearly heard someone punching and drinking just now, what was going on? Could it be that there are ghosts in broad daylight?
"What kind of person is pretending to be a ghost, get out of here for Young Master Ben" Xu Jun looked around vigilantly, but did not find half a figure.
Feng Yaoyang squatted down, wiped the ground with his hand and said, "The ash on the ground is very thick, only the footprints that the three of us stepped on when we came in, obviously no one has been here for a long time." But just now in the inn, there was indeed the sound of fists and drinking, which was too strange. ā
Wanyan Zongtian's face turned pale and said: "Let's leave, it will take a few more days, why take this risk, why not take this road?" ā
"Shut up, it's just some tricks to fool people, Young Master Ben wants to see what skills these thieves can have."
Xu Jun's face is not good, his personality has always been that he will not die when he does not see the Yellow River, and he will not cry when he does not see the coffin, if there is really a ghost to blame, he would like to see it.
"There are gates in front and back of the inn, big enough for a carriage to pass through, so let's hit the road first and wait for the thieves to find us."
Xu Jun nodded, agreeing with this strategy. What should come must always come, and it is a clever means to respond to all changes without change. The three of them retreated the same way, but they were shocked to find that Luo Laohan and the carriage had all disappeared out of thin air and disappeared.
Wanyan Zongtian was dumbfounded and said, "This old thing, how fast is it running?" ā
Feng Yaoyang sighed and said, "I wish he had left with the carriage by himself, but unfortunately not." ā
"What do you mean?" Xu Jun asked.
"Look at the ground"
Xu Jun frowned, looked at the ground, and really saw some clues. The mountain roads were rough and dusty. But whenever a carriage passes by, it will leave a trace. And the traces on the ground, only the marks of the carriage galloping forward, but not the marks of galloping in the opposite direction, this is simply impossible. Unless Luo Laohan can soar through the clouds and make the carriage fly.
"Fuck it, it's out of the ghost. I like to play so much, so the young master will play with these people. ā
Feng Yaoyang pondered for a moment and said, "Something is wrong, beyond the expectations of this young master. We'd better go back and find another carriage, and get down to business first. ā
Feng Yaoyang originally thought that there were only some mountain bandits on this road, and it would be good to kill them directly, so as not to affect the hurry, and by the way, it would be able to eliminate harm for the people. But the current situation made him faintly feel a little dangerous, the task of stealing the formula of the elixir of immortality was very important, and he must not allow any mistakes. He regretted that he had been too reckless and had let the carriage go down the road.
Xu Jun stomped his feet hatefully and said, "Grass, now that there is no carriage, is it possible that we will walk back the same way." ā
"That's the only way, you don't have spiritual power, you can't use light skills. Wanyan Zongtian and I will take turns carrying you on our backs, and we will go back in three hours at most. ā
Xu Jun was speechless, and as soon as the three of them hesitated to walk back, a noisy fist drawing suddenly came from the inn again. This time the sound was so loud that they could hear it even from a distance. Moreover, there was also the sound of playing the guzheng in the inn, and the laughter of the woman like a silver bell, which made the faces of Xu Jun and the three of them change drastically.
