Chapter 91: It turns out that I was holding a hedgehog

Previous Chapter

Susu asked: What are you thinking?

I said, "I'm thinking about Master."

Susu said, "You will be able to see him tomorrow."

He wrapped me in his arms from behind, rubbed his chin against the top of my head, and said, "Jiang Jiang, don't forget me when you see Master, I'll wait for you to come back."

I said, "Eh, aren't you with me?"

Su Su said: How can the League Master Hall be a place where people like me who have no door or sect can enter and leave at will, besides-

I said, "Well, what's that?"

Su Su said: I killed him with my own hands.

I said, "You said that the sword contest was a pact of life and death, and one person died under the sword of another person, and it was either you or him." I'm just glad you're better at swordsmanship right now.

Su Su touched my head, smiled bitterly and said: In the future, when you see me draw my sword, you have to stay away, be careful that the sword qi hurts you, I am a dangerous man.

I said: It's easy to dodge open guns and hard to defend against dark arrows, and I forgot to tell you that I'm also a dangerous man...... Woman.

Susu said: Let me verify how dangerous you are.

As he spoke, he hugged me tightly, and I suddenly became a little flustered.

Su Su said: What, shy?

I said, "Don't hold it tightly."

Su Su said: I want it.

I said, "No, I have a hidden weapon all over my body, and if you do this, you will be stabbed."

Su Su said: It turns out that I am holding a hedgehog, even if you are covered in thorns, I will not let go.

I said, "Oh, I'm not afraid of stabbing you, I'm afraid of stabbing myself."

......

I slept restlessly that night, and had many unrelated dreams, all of which were nightmares, including the bloody picture of myself being stabbed several times by a long sword, and the specific plot of who stabbed me and why I was stabbed was disturbed by another dream.

When I woke up in the morning, I only felt abnormal swelling and pain in the Baihui acupoints and temples.

Everyone was very concerned about me at breakfast, because everyone could faintly hear me screaming in the house last night, but no one went into the house to find out, because they didn't want to get out of bed. By the time the morning was confirmed that I was safe and sound, that I could eat and drink, I was even more convinced that it was wise not to get out of bed last night.

I said, "Have you ever wondered what if I had been murdered last night, robbed or something?"

Everyone took a sip of porridge, looked up at me collectively, and said in unison: Impossible.

I said, "Why can't it be, it's so messy outside."

Everyone said: Don't worry, it's not on your head.

I said, "You are prejudiced against me."

Changgui said: We know you well enough, but because we know too well, we are very relieved. Besides, what fool wouldn't want to rob you of your lust, brother, thank God you don't go out and harm others.

Fugui said: Brother Changgui is really to the point.

After saying Fugui, I regretted it, because in the next second, I let him experience first-hand what is worthy of the name.

......

The League Lord's Hall circled one-half of the southernmost piece of land in Akagi, which was originally all farmland, mainly for planting rice, but I don't know how many League Lords were very willful, and insisted on building the entire League Lord's Hall here, and discussed with the imperial court for half a month, and finally divided one-half of the rice field for him to squander.

Therefore, the rice of Akagi is particularly precious, and I don't know if it is refined or not, but it is mainly expensive. I don't know when it started, everyone always thinks that expensive is good, the more expensive the better, and the more expensive they can't afford it, it means that the thing is the best.

Every year, more than half of Akagi's rice is shipped to Chang'an for sale, and even exclusively for the imperial family. On the contrary, the local people can only trade with the surrounding counties and towns. As we all know, the officials of Akagi are recognized as fat poor, and even the petty sesame officials are very rich.

If the court is white, then the rivers and lakes are undoubtedly black. Black can't become white, but white can become black. The relationship between the two is very delicate, just like the Bagua Taiji in "Hetu".

The main hall of the alliance is undoubtedly the most extensive building in Akagi, with rice paddies in a radius of several miles, backed by mountains, and sparsely populated.

When the three of us were sent to the intersection of the Alliance Leader Hall, Su Su went back, and we went to the door and reported our respective sects and names before being led in. In desperation, I can only temporarily separate from Changgui and Fugui.

I have the impression of walking for a long time, turning around, before stopping in a courtyard.

The leader said: You said that you are the apprentice of the valley master of the Valley of Despair, right?

I said, "Yes."

He said: The Valley of Despair is one of the best gangs in the rivers and lakes, the scenery here is the best, the valley owner is resting inside, you can go in.

I said, "Thank you."

The wonderful scenery in this person's mouth is roughly the green rice fields as far as the eye can see. The leader saw me and Fugui enter the courtyard without hesitation, and then turned around and left, not knowing whether it was thoughtful service or worried that we would impostor.

At this moment, the master was standing to the east, standing there looking into the distance, his thin tea-white clothes pulling in the wind.

Fugui shouted: Master!

Master didn't move.

Fugui ran to his side, following his example and blinking his eyes into the distance.

Fugui asked: Master, what are you looking at?

Master said, "What's ahead?"

Fugui said: rice fields.

Master said, "What about the other things?"

Fugui said: It's still a rice field.

The Master said, "Yes, the Master is not only looking at him, but also looking at him."

Fugui scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and said: What's so nice about this.

Master said: Although there are many varieties of Desperate Valley, I have never planted rice yet, so I am wondering if I can try it.

I hurriedly hugged Master's thigh and said, "Put down your hoe and become a Buddha on the ground."

Master glanced at me and said coldly: Put down your legs as a teacher, so that you don't have a beating.

I immediately let go and quickly retreated a few meters away.

That's when I noticed a man standing in the corner of the courtyard.

I said, "Sage?"

Ding Xian said: Long time no see.

I hugged him excitedly, and brewed two lines of tears to express the complicated feelings of reunion after a long absence. Fugui secretly rubbed his dry eyes in order to meet the occasion.

It's inevitable to say a few words of greeting after not seeing each other for a long time, it's nothing more than eating well, sleeping well, and being in good health, everything is okay?

But I rarely greet Master like this, not because I don't care about him, it's just that he is too powerful in me, so powerful that it seems that he is forever on the top of a snow-capped mountain and seeks defeat. I even felt that there was no one in the world who could hurt him, and even the years of destroying sentient beings were lost to this man.

I think Master is the loneliest and most powerful being, his opponent can only be himself, and he will only lose to himself.

Master's unceremonious use of the leftovers from noon to entertain me and Fugui is indeed his consistent style.

Xian said, "You deal with the two first, and I'll go and tell them to make more dinner."

I said, "It's out of the way, we're full for breakfast."

Master said, "Do you still have enough to eat?"

I said: Don't worry, Su Su is good to me, and I can eat enough.

The Master said, "Ah, no wonder, my face is round."

I pinched my face and hurriedly asked Fugui.

I asked: round?

Wealth wants to talk and stops.

I said, "Tell me the truth, I won't hit you."

Fugui said: A little.

I said: How much is a little bit?

Fugui showed a rather painful look, trying to draw a little concept through his hands, but after a long time, he didn't make a comparison, but instead gestured to a deaf and mute person.

Master said, "Look here, there are two pieces of bread.

Wen Yan collectively looked at the two pieces of biscuits, which were quite round.

Master said, "Once upon a time, you were a little bit of a baked cake, well, about the size of the palm of the master's hand. Now, you're the one that's bigger than the plate. Disciple grandson, how did you explain to the teacher?

Fugui said: The metaphor of the master is both vivid and true, which can be called perfect.

I suddenly noticed a flash of laughter hidden in my master's eyes, and inexplicably, the corners of my mouth unconsciously rose.

Master said, "It seems that your master has received your money, and he has indeed taught you how to make a fool of yourself."

Fugui said: Hehe, then I have to be willing to learn, and the master leads the door to practice by himself.

Master's eyes rolled, looked at me and said, "You really accepted you as a good apprentice."

I said, "Well, Master, you are too."

I grinned cheekily.

Without saying a word, Master stuffed the biscuit, which was the size of my face, into my mouth.

ˇ

After licking the plates of a table, I and the rich and noble people had a cup of high-quality white tea to remove the oil, and the master and the virtuous sat on the side to play chess.

I took a sip of tea, glanced at the fierce chess game and asked Fugui: Guess who wins.

Fugui said: Well, although Brother Dingxian is also very powerful, I still think that the master will win.

I glanced at the game again and shook my head.

Fugui said, "Isn't it?"

I said, "Just when you were blindly patting on the back, Master made a mistake.

Fugui said: Ah, how can this be.

I said, "I don't believe it."

As a result, Bai won at a glance, and Hyun won.

Fugui blamed himself.

After that, Xian said to me privately: Actually, I won that chess game because the valley master released the water.

I said, "Being humble is Master's own mistake."

Xian said: That mistake is nothing, with the strength of the valley master, he can completely turn the tide.

I said, "According to what you say, could it be that Master deliberately lost to you?"

Xian said: It can't be said that it is deliberate, with my understanding of the valley master, most of it is because you don't want him to win, so he won't win.

I'm surprised: you're confusing me.

Xian said: Jiangshan, maybe you are the only person who can influence his decision other than the valley lord himself.

At that time, Xian's face was solemn and serious, and there was no trace of joking. What he said sounded really incomprehensible to me, and I didn't want to think about it more.

After dinner, we were told to meet in the lobby immediately.

Everyone gathered together and sat down in terms of seniority, and Fugui and I naturally followed the master to sit in front, but the master was sitting, and the two of us stood on his left and right sides like the fortune boy on the door. It just so happened that the leader of the beggar gang was sitting next to Master, Changgui was standing on my left, and Xian was probably hiding on a beam in this room.

Originally, this pair of twins was the sharpest knife in the Valley of Despair, and it was a terrifying knife in the rivers and lakes, but now they are no longer afraid, even if they can still kill, they can no longer kill the Buddha in the master's mouth.
