Chapter Thirty-Eight: Run

Dead.

The people who played on the twilight mountain had already found a place to sleep, and the rich and powerful lived in the Taoist temple halfway up the mountain. Ordinary tourists can only find a flat and spacious place to set up their own tents, the people of the Great Sui have been living more comfortably, a hundred years of strong national strength, so that the people have also developed a confident and somewhat lazy character.

Visiting in spring is not the privilege of people from large families.

The rich have the play of the rich, and the ordinary people have the play of the ordinary people.

It's just that few people choose to camp at the foot of the mountain, and most of them live in a small square paved with bluestone slabs in front of the Taoist temple halfway up the mountain. The temple does not give away meals, but it does provide hot water. This is also one of the reasons why the incense of this Taoist temple is prosperous, because of this mountain, the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple live a very prosperous and comfortable life.

The people inside and outside the Taoist temple were almost asleep, but the three people at the foot of the mountain were busy digging pits. To be exact, two people were digging a hole, and one person was sitting on a tree branch and leaning against the trunk of a tree.

"Dig deeper."

The big dog didn't need tools, put on a pair of gloves with steel thorns and began to work, and it didn't take long to dig a small pit in the ground. He glanced at Fang Xie wielding a horizontal knife to dig the earth, pouted disdainfully and said, "You can't dig one of the two I dig, and you still have to rely on your own hands to do things." ”

Fang Xie wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "Today, I learned that the dog planing is not just a way to swim, admire and admire." If you don't have anything to take advantage of, you won't be able to dig that deep until dawn. ”

"Why don't you dismember."

The big dog said seriously: "It's easier to divide the corpse, divide it into many small pieces, so that there is no need to dig too deep in the pit, just dig more." ”

Li Xian glared at him: "Why are you so cruel?" ”

The big dog said: "I killed two, you killed two, and the cruelty is the same cruelty." ”

He glanced back at Cui Luoshang and said a little unhappily: "I said this Cui Gongzi, you are an accomplice even if you are not the main offender now, right?" Can you help with hands-on? Even if you kneel down now and use the means of Buddhism to transcend them, won't they hate you in the underworld? ”

Cui Luoshang, who was a little distracted, looked at the big dog, and there was no brilliance in his eyes. Fang Xie handed him a short knife before, but he looked at Liu Yineng, who had been beaten by him, but he didn't dare to start. Later, after seeing Fang Xie stab Li Yuan in the neck, he trembled and moved to Liu Yineng's side, raised the knife and trembled for a while before stabbing down. Maybe it was because he was too nervous and panicked, and he stabbed four or five times in a row without hitting the vital point.

Blood spurted out one by one, splashing his whole body and face, but Liu Yineng was not dead.

After Fang Xie killed Li Yuan, he really couldn't stand it, and pierced Liu Yineng's back heart with a knife, right in the heart, and the score was exactly right.

After killing four people, Fang Xie originally thought that he would be scared and tremble, but after he really killed 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 a little excited.

Killing people turned out to be not a very exciting thing for him.

This made Fang Xie a little self-deprecating, when he was in Fan Gu, he firmly believed that he was a person who couldn't kill people, even if he was not a kind person, at least he was not a fierce person. But now after killing someone, he realized that he had always resisted killing people not because of the kindness he still had. It's that he still has some resistance to killing people in his memory, it's just a habitual thinking.

Just when they were sweating like rain, the back door of the Taoist temple halfway up the mountain slowly opened, and two people wearing cyan Taoist robes slowly walked to a boulder protruding from the mountainside, among which the old Taoist priest looked at the mountain and frowned slightly, and asked the chubby Taoist priest who was not old and looked like he was only fifteen or sixteen years old: "Do you want to take care of the big murder?" ”

The Taoist priests who questioned him were at least fifty or sixty years old, wearing a Taoist crown to block the white hair, but not the gray goatee. Compared with the young Daoists around him, he is even more respectable to look at. But he used questions to speak to the young Taoists around him, and his tone was very respectful.

This little Taoist priest is not very old, and he is very fat. A originally flowing robe was worn on him, but it was actually tightened by the fat as if it was about to crack. So he seemed a little lacking in strength when he walked and talked, and he didn't know if Lu Dao was uncomfortable by this clothes.

His face was round, and there was not a single wrinkle in sight. If you have to use one thing to compare his face, it can only be a hot white flour steamed bun just out of the pot.

Not only was he fat, but he was short.

I don't know if Lu Dao has not fully grown because of his young age, and his height is barely at the shoulder level of the old Taoist. didn't wear a Taoist temple, and his long black hair was casually tied up and draped at the back of his head, but there was a smoothness that made women have to be jealous.

"There are so many great things in the world, you have to take care of them...... Don't you die of exhaustion? ”

The young Taoist glanced at the old Taoist, and said angrily: "You called me up in the dead of night just to let me see this?" Isn't it just killing someone...... When will no one die in this world? Don't say that your cultivation is going down the mountain, it's a joke, even if you cultivate to become an immortal, you will fly...... Could it be that you can stop all the evil things in the world by flying around every day? Can you? Can you? Can you? ”

He asked three times in a row.

The old Taoist blushed, smiled wryly and replied, "Naturally not." ”

"Then you're talking a piece of."

The young Taoist glared at him and said, "Disturb me sleeping, just make a note of this first." In the future, if you bother me again because of this trivial matter, I will drive you down the mountain. ”

The old Taoist said in fear: "Not next time...... By the way, every year when the martial arts academy opens for the exam, Xiao Zhenren will be invited to ...... Last time, I sent someone to invite you three times, do you want to go this time? ”

"No, no, no!"

The young Taoist waved his hand and said impatiently: "Three senior brothers, one has to pretend to be the leader of the Dao Sect all day long, one has disappeared without a trace for ten years, and the other is hiding in the palace as a watchdog and is not allowed to be free...... Who is as chic and happy as me? What's life...... What is the pursuit of the natural avenue, what is the avenue? ”

He looked at the old Taoist and said seriously: "You can make your own decisions when you eat, drink, and sleep, this is the avenue." ”

The young Taoist turned around and went back to the Taoist temple, and when he entered the door, he turned around and instructed the old Taoist: "The number of tourists has been increasing these days, and the meat, eggs and fresh vegetables in the temple are not enough, so you go down the mountain early tomorrow morning to buy some and come back......

He looked down the mountain, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes: "If the meat is chopped, you can't actually tell whether it's human meat or pork, right?" If you sell it as a bun, no one will eat it, right? Even if you eat it, as long as we don't admit it, it's okay, right? ”

The old Taoist was so frightened that he took the young Taoist's hand and walked into the courtyard: "You should sleep, it's time to sleep......

"Ming'er went down the mountain and remembered to bring me back Xiangcheng Song Ji's dim sum, shortbread, and spiced melon seeds. There are also Chen Ji's smoked pork legs, the sausages from the old blind man's house, and ......"

The sound faded away, and the Taoist temple returned to calm.

……

……

Yamashita

Cui Luoshang held the soil on Liu Yineng's corpse, and when he saw Liu Yineng's dead expression, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground again: "What can I do about this?" If someone finds out, my future in this life will be gone. My father didn't know how much gold and silver Lu Dao had sent, and how many favors he had sold, so he helped me find the opportunity to enter the Martial Arts Academy, but I ruined my future...... If my father knew about it, wouldn't he break my leg? ”

"Out of breath!"

The big dog glanced at him and said slightly angrily: "Everyone has been killed, and you regret it now and are afraid that there will be a fart?" ”

Cui Luoshang wanted to wipe the sweat off his forehead, but wiped his face with mud: "But this matter can't be hidden after all, many people know that the five of us visited Dusk Mountain together." Li Yuan and the others said that they had this amusement in order to practice it for me, but if I was the only one who went back to Xiangcheng, but the four of them did not go back, the government could easily find out that I killed them. ”

"I can't hide it."

Fang Xie dragged a dead corpse over and threw it into the dirt pit, looked at Cui Luoshang and said: "You don't need to hide this matter at all, after burying their corpses for a while, you will rush back to Xiangcheng immediately, and you will hurry home as soon as the city gate opens early tomorrow, and tell your father truthfully." It's not you who is wrong about this matter, it's Li Yuan who wants to kill you first...... Your father will naturally help you find a way, we will wait for you outside Xiangcheng, and when the time comes, we will go to Chang'an together, and we will also take care of it. ”

Fang Xie said while burying the soil: "I won't hide it from you until now, I don't call Shang Guo hate, and I am not a merchant who does business in Fangu City. I am a border army scout recommended by the border army of Fan Gucheng to take the exam at the Yanwu Academy this year, my name is Fang Jie. Since it is also our fate to meet, you and I go together, and going to the martial arts academy exam can be regarded as a response. ”

"You are also a candidate of the Martial Arts Academy!"

Cui Luoshang was taken aback, and couldn't help but look at it carefully: "You didn't lie to me?" ”

"Did you deceive this? Have you been deceived now, have you been deceived when you arrived in Chang'an? ”

Fang Xie smiled and said, "Don't meddle in this matter, just go back to Xiangcheng now." In about two hours the day will be dawn, and you ride back to catch the daybreak and enter the city. When you go back, you will consult with your father, and I estimate that your father will send you out of the city as soon as possible that day. ”

"Really?"

Cui Luoshang couldn't help but worry: "What if my father arrests me and detains me?" ”

"Tiger poison still doesn't eat children, your father is willing to spend a lot of money to let you take the martial arts academy, how can he see you ruining your future, go quickly!"

Fang Xie patted him on the shoulder and said, "I promise it'll be fine." ”

Cui Luoshang thought about it and explained that it made sense, and he didn't want to stay in this place for a moment, so he simply got up, hugged his fists and said that he would turn around and run away.

After Cui Liushang's figure disappeared, Mu Xiaoxiao jumped down from the branch and walked to Fang Jie's side, looked at Fang Xie seriously, and then asked seriously: "You killed these people, not just because you want to kill people, right?" ”

Fang Xie nodded: "Yes." ”

"It's not just about helping that idiot once, as you say, right?"

"Yes!"

Fang Xie nodded again, then looked in the direction where Cui Luoshang disappeared and said in a flat tone: "I'm just a small border army scout, I don't have a noble background, I don't have a tough backstage, even if I get to Chang'an City, I will inevitably have many hardships and difficulties...... Although the Cui family in Xiangcheng is far less powerful than the Cui family in Boling, and has more important ministers in the court, it is also an out-and-out famous family. Having such a friend by your side will always save you some trouble. ”

"So you've been calculating that stupid thing from the beginning?"

The big dog asked in surprise.

Fang Xie smiled: "I'm helping him, and I'm helping myself...... Isn't it? To do good to others is to do good to oneself. This seems to be the same as that of Buddhism, but it still makes sense. ”

"If possible, it would be good to make a few more powerful friends with them. In any case, candidates like me will not be too easy to walk in Chang'an City, and I will naturally not miss it if I can find a few helpers. I remember when I left Fangu City, I told you that three years ago I relied on you and Shen Tian to fan the seven of them, and I relied on the two of you for the past three years, but in the future, I will ...... I'm on my own. ”

"I was carried by your waist for fifteen years."

He looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and said seriously: "It's time to go by yourself, it's best to ...... I can run. ”
