Chapter Seventy-Four: The Beast

Tang Anshu looked at Sun San and asked, "Dashuai, I want to know who the earth minister you saved back then was." ”

Sun San smiled: "You finally asked the most critical question, in fact, you should have thought of it from the beginning, why did I have to ask you to participate in any matter when I hired the three of you?" Why don't you wonder why I was able to know that you had arrived in Yongcheng at that time? ”

Tang Anshu was silent, and Le Zhengxian looked at him sideways.

"There is no Wei Qiming, there is no Tongye, these people are all made up by that person, the news about "Jinling Jane" was also released by him back then, and he was also the one who gave me advice and made me change from a pirate to a handsome, and he was the one who helped me make a plan, and it was still him who set up this game within a game." Sun San finished speaking in one breath, leaned his neck and drank the wine in the cup, and put the cup on the table, "I regret it, why did I save that beast back then, if I didn't save him and let him die like that, maybe there wouldn't be so many tragedies." ”

Le Zhengxian asked suspiciously, "False beasts? The beast mentioned in the "Divine Sutra"? ”

Tang Anshu said beside him: "There are false beasts in the southwest wilderness, their shape is like a drum, the human face can speak, often deceive people, speak east and west, speak evil and good." Its flesh is beautiful, and its food is not true. ”

Sun San nodded and said, "Yes, that's the ......."

As he spoke, Sun San got up, took out a letter from a beautiful wooden box behind him, and then slowly walked over to Tang Anshu and handed it over: "This is the letter I received a few days ago, and it was written by him. ”

Tang Anshu took the envelope, took out a piece of letter paper from it, and unfolded it to find that it was a simple brush drawing, depicting a well-behaved rabbit with sharp claws on all fours, squatting on a skull.

On the right side of the painting, there are three more words - I don't believe it.

Tang Anshu looked at those three words and read: "I don't believe it? ”

Sun Sandao: "At this time, he told me, let me not believe him, because he is a beast, do you recognize the handwriting?" ”

When Le Zhengxian leaned over to look at it, he held his breath, and when he saw those two words, he trembled, and his face turned pale in an instant.

Sun San looked at Le Zhengxian, who had this reaction: "What? Mr. Lezheng also recognizes? ”

Le Zhengxian hurriedly shook his head: "No, I just think that rabbit is very weird." ”

"Really?" Sun San seemed to notice something, and looked at Tang Anshu again, "How is it?" Know who this person is? ”

Tang Anshu took the letter and said lightly: "It's my master." ”

Le Zhengxian trembled, in fact, he was still expecting Tang Anshu to give a negative answer, because if it was really Hu Shen, then the truth of the Qu family's tragedy did not need to be investigated at all.

Sun San slowly walked back to his seat and sat down weakly: "Yes, it's your master, Hu Shen, who is known as the eight-armed Arhat. ”

After Sun San finished speaking, he raised his head and closed his eyes: "He is the beast ......"

As he spoke, Tang Anshu let go of his hand, took off the letter paper, and slowly floated to the ground.

Sun San will always remember the troubled Xin Chou year, although he was 32 years old that year, he was still just the leader of a great pirate, and what he did all day long was to rob, share the spoils, eat and wait for death.

But on such days, Sun San was not satisfied, he wanted to become the biggest pirate in the East China Sea, but he had no brains and no money in his hands, so he often took advantage of the opportunity to buy vegetables and fruits on land, and took his henchmen to rob some small ships that passed by.

On that day, Sun San still lay in ambush in the reef group according to the original plan, preparing to rush out while the current and rob the small merchant ship that would pass by the cape in the afternoon, but before he began to rob, he found an old man holding a wooden plank at sea, who seemed to have been shipwrecked.

If this were a weekday, Sun San would never come to his rescue, but the pirates in the East China Sea had a rule, on the day the market opened, that is, before the robbery, if they encountered a victim, they must be rescued, otherwise the market would not open smoothly.

And the victim at that time was Hu Shen.

However, because in order to save Hu Shen, Sun San missed the merchant ship, and at the same time found that there was another group of pirates ambushed nearby, and rushed out and hijacked the merchant ship before them, but what happened next made Sun San and his brothers dumbfounded, because the merchant ship was pretended by the government, and it was simply a trap to deal with pirates.

Sun San, who was hiding behind the reef, watched as another group of pirates were hunted down and killed by officers and soldiers one by one, and the three clippers were finally blown to pieces by the hidden artillery on the merchant ship.

At this time, Sun San understood what it meant to be "Sai Weng lost his horse and knew whether it was a blessing", and at the same time, he was too superstitious, and he also regarded Hu Shen as a nobleman and took Hu Shen to his hiding place, because Hu Shen had typhoid fever at that time, and he was hot and delirious.

Sun San recalled this, opened his eyes and said: "Maybe it's an evil spirit, I told my brothers to save this noble man no matter what, so we ventured to the port at night to catch a doctor, and under the doctor's instructions, we went to the island to collect herbs, and it took seven or eight days to snatch Hu Shen back from the hands of the king of Hades......"

And when Hu Shen came to his senses and looked at Sun Sanhou who was happy in front of him, the first sentence was: "Holding the heart of a snake, the great benefit of Ridong." ”

Sun San didn't understand that sentence very well, Hu Shen fell asleep again after speaking, and only after he woke up did he explain to Sun San that the meaning of that sentence was that if he wanted to be developed, he had to go to the east and find the heart of the snake.

When Sun San heard this, his first reaction was Snake Heart Island, because Snake Heart Island was in the east.

Sun San said: "But I had no money and no one at that time, and I had nothing, so Hu Shen led me and my brothers to the sea to find a sunken ship on the grounds of repaying me for saving my life, and found the wealth that laid the foundation for the future from the ship, and from then on, I regarded Hu Shen as a man of God, but he did not stay by my side, but decided to travel all over the world, and told me before leaving that after five years, he would find a way to contact me, the overlord of the side, provided that I must act according to his strategy." ”

Tang Anshu asked expressionlessly, "What did he teach you?" ”

Sun San smiled bitterly: "He taught me that if you want to get ahead, you must be blindfolded and hold a knife." ”

Le Zhengxian frowned: "Blindfolded with a knife? ”

Sun San nodded: "Yes, it means to be ruthless, to ignore everything that stands in your way, regardless of good or evil." I gradually became a famous pirate leader in the East China Sea in the way he said, and four years later, I worshipped the sea snake and paper bodhisattva on Wedge Island, and later founded the Three Immortals Association of the East China Sea, and at that time, I received a letter from Hu Shen, asking me to build a prison on the island of Snake Heart that I had occupied, and at the same time he also taught me the art of hidden dragons in the letter. ”

Tang Anshu looked at Sun San and asked coldly: "Dashuai, do you think you are a dragon?" ”

Sun San shook his head: "I used to think that I was, but all I lacked was assistance and opportunities, but later I found out that I was not even a fish, just a crab that looked fierce." ”

Le Zhengxian asked: "Since then, you have never seen Hu Shen again, just communicating with letters?" ”

"Communication? No, he just sent me a letter with a falcon, and when the letter was delivered, the falcon returned, barely giving me a chance to reply. Sun San finished another glass of wine, and now he was drunk, "For so many years, I just acted according to his plan, but what I still don't understand is why he asked me to pull you into the game after arranging all this?" ”

Tang Anshu said: "He laid out this game before he accepted me as an apprentice, so I am just a chess piece in his game." ”

Sun San stood up and pointed at Tang Anshu: "What are you here for?" Without you, your master's plan would have been successfully completed, but because of you, the plan failed, in other words, from the very beginning, your master seemed to know that without you, the plan would not be successfully implemented, so why did he do such a contradictory thing? ”

After Sun San finished speaking, he sat down again: "Why?" You tell me? Why? ”

Tang Anshu sat there, still expressionless: "Maybe he didn't expect that I, a person who doesn't believe in anyone, actually doesn't even believe him, just has a half-believing attitude." ”

"Is that so?" Sun San's emotions were already on the verge of collapse, "Is that so!?" ”

Is that so? Le Zhengxian also asked himself in his heart.

Sun San poured himself another glass of wine: "Do you know that your master has now taken refuge in Chen Bozhong and become his chief of staff, claiming to have more than 10,000 elite soldiers under his command, and is eyeing Yongcheng, but I know very well that his purpose is to come for "Jinling Jane", if Yongcheng City is broken, Snake Heart Island will be finished, even if they don't attack, besiege the island for a month, we will run out of ammunition and food, and Snake Heart Island will not be attacked, if it really comes to that time, it will be ...... by then."

Sun San stood up and became very emotional: "I'll just use ......"

"Dashuai!" Tang Anshu got up suddenly, "You calm down!" If you think about it carefully, if things really happened as you said, and you used "Jinling Jane" desperately and spread that disease, you just happened to fall for Hu Shen's plan! ”

Sun San trembled all over, suddenly sobered up, and at the same time, he also knew the next plan of the young man in front of him from Tang Anshu's direct call to Hu Shen.

Is he going to break with Master once and for all?

Is he white? Not black?

He's not a villain? But the righteous man?

Sun San sat down slowly, panting there, looking at Tang Anshu who was standing there.

Tang Anshu took a deep breath: "Right now, the most important thing is not to figure out why Hu Shen did that, but to be fully prepared, to figure out what kind of disease the corpse wind is and how to treat it?" And what is the real "Jinling Jane" in the sea cave below? also to assist Fu Guodong to defend Yongcheng. ”

Sun San hesitated for a long time, then nodded: "The corpse wind can be cured, but it must be reckless and fight poison with poison." ”

Tang Anshu asked, "What is the method?" ”

Sun San touched his forehead and said, "I'm a little sleepy, I want to rest, as for the method, you can ask Adjutant Gu." ”

After speaking, Sun San's body softened, and he fell asleep directly on the table.

Tang Anshu knew that this seemingly strong man had long been exhausted in order to stick to his psychological defense.

Le Zhengxian got up and asked, "An Shu, these are not easy things, how are you going to arrange them?" ”

Tang Anshu pondered for a moment and said: "I have to go to the sea cave below in person to find out what the Jinling Jane is, you stay for the time being, after all, you are well-informed, and the intelligence depends on you, as for helping Fu Guodong defend the city, Qiu Gubo is probably not competent, I have to ask for help." ”

Le Zhengxian asked strangely, "Asking for help?" Do you have someone you can trust? ”

Tang Anshu nodded and said, "I only had one friend in the past, and his name is Cai Qianqing. ”

"Cai Qianqing!?" Le Zhengxian was shocked, "You mean that one-eyed flower fox Cai Qianqing?" ”

Tang Anshu nodded silently.
