Chapter 129: An old pawn in Yunzhou
It was another evening, and the convoy from Shangjing slowly drove into this abandoned village.
Judging by the mottled marks on the outside, the village has been uninhabited for several years.
But the long-distance travelers don't have much choice, and if they don't take a break, those who are rushing to take the exam may not be able to bear it.
Zhu Wei was the first to rush into the village, and his bones were about to fall apart in the carriage these days. Now that he can finally have a place to live, Zhu Wei can't wait to lie in bed immediately, do nothing, and lie like this all day.
The others were also quite happy that they could sleep peacefully tonight, and perhaps have the luxury of taking a shower.
But in the convoy, there were people who felt something completely different.
In the last carriage, Xiaoqing poked his head out, looked at the deserted village very curiously, and said excitedly: "There is something strange in here!" β
Dao Ran's brows furrowed, after entering the deserted village, he also faintly felt a little uneasy, there was definitely something wrong with this place.
Shenxiu, who had been addicted to refining weapons all the way, also raised his head and said to Dao Ran: "Master, I'm afraid that there are demons and evil in this place, what should we do?" β
Daoran pondered for a moment, and then said, "The soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth." β
After Dao Ran finished speaking, he silently recited the Heavenly Dragon Babu Talisman Mantra, and a black snake with a thin arm appeared on Dao Ran's side, and said to Dao Ran respectfully: "Dragon Mou Zhixuan, come here at your beckon." β
"Amitabha, long time no see. Senior, your injury is healed? Daoran asked.
Mu Zhixuan hurriedly said, "Thank you Master Daoran for your concern, it's no big deal." Zen Master Fahai is still merciful. β
At the beginning, Fahai summoned Mu Zhixuan's body, and then slapped Mu Zhixuan away, and the five success forces hit him hard.
Although Mu Zhixuan had been recuperating from his injuries for a long time, he understood that Fahai was still merciful. That palm really only had five success powers, otherwise he would have to lie down for at least a few years.
Although the bones of the body are not yet good, but the Dao Ran is called, and Mu Zhixuan can't miss it.
It's not that he eats people or anything, but Mu Zhixuan urgently needs to solve the previous misunderstanding.
The conscience of heaven and earth, he really doesn't mean to be a pit Daoran, at most he just looks at Daoran and doesn't stop it.
But isn't this the basic operation of the Heavenly Dragon Babu?
Whether the spell bearer keeps the precepts or not, that's not the responsibility of the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon.
Mu Zhixuan felt that he had to have a good chat with Dao Ran, otherwise Fahai would be in a bad mood one day and summon him to beat him up again.
"I'm really sorry, the little monk didn't expect the master to misunderstand." Dao Ran said to Mu Zhixuan.
γβ¦β¦ +1 for your embroideryγ
"It's okay, Zen Master Fahai loves his disciples, I can understand it, and I ask Master Daoran to tell him what happened." Mu Zhixuan said to Daoran.
"Don't worry, the little monk will definitely explain it clearly to the master." Dao Ran said with great certainty.
γβ¦β¦ +1 for your cutoutsγ
"Then I'll be relieved." Mu Zhixuan said with peace of mind: "I don't know what Master Dao Ran summoned me to, what is the so-called matter? Please ask the Master to do so. β
"There seems to be something evil here, and the little monk is worried that there will be an accident, so he asks his seniors to bother to protect these mortals." Daoran said.
Mu Zhixuan is a very qualified bodyguard, and he did a very good job when he guarded Nie Zhengyan before, and there was no mistake at all.
With Mu Zhixuan, ordinary demons can't hurt people at all, if they encounter powerful monsters, Mu Zhixuan can also buy time for Dao Ran and let him deal with it calmly.
"Leave it to me." After Mu Zhixuan finished speaking, his figure turned transparent and got out of the carriage.
After a while, Mu Zhixuan returned to Dao Ran's side and whispered a few words in his ear.
Dao Ran listened, showing an expression of crying and laughing.
β¦β¦
As the night darkens, the long-abandoned village is filled with fireworks.
Although the village is very dilapidated, you can always sleep with a little tidying up.
Daoran drank rice porridge, and did not supervise Xiaoqing's practice, but came to Jinniuwei's side.
Seeing Dao Ran's visit, Zuo Wanli hurriedly greeted him.
"Master Daoran, what are your orders?" Zuo Wanli asked.
"Lord Zuo is serious, the little monk just wants to say a few words to the court prisoner you escorted." Daoran replied.
"This ...... What did Venerable Dao Ran want to ask? β
Zuo Wanli hesitated a little, this Qin offense is very important, once there is any mistake, their sacrifice will be in vain.
"Don't worry, Lord Zuo, the little monk just asks a few words, and he will never make it difficult for you. On the contrary, the little monk is here to help. Tonight, there may be an accident. Daoran explained.
"Accidents? Could it be that someone will rob the prisoner tonight? Zuo Qianhu asked.
Daoran clasped his hands together and said a word about Amitabha, but did not answer Zuo Qianhu's question.
Zuo Qianhu didn't think about it for long, he chose to believe in Daoran.
After Dao Ran pulled out a Gu worm from Zuo Wanli's body, Zuo Wanli understood that all the lives of the Taurus Guards were held by Dao Ran. If Dao Ran couldn't find the antidote, they were destined to be hollowed out by Gu worms and die.
If Dao Ran wanted to harm them, he didn't need to play any tricks at all, just directly control the Gu worms in their bodies and break out.
Since Dao Ran said that he was here to help, Zuo Wanli believed it unconditionally.
Monks don't speak, how can a virtuous monk like Dao Ran deceive people. Even if someone says that Dao Ran has never lied since he was a child, Zuo Wanli will believe it.
Daoran got his wish and saw the imperial court prisoner who was locked in the prison car, this person's face was full of filth, and the prison clothes on his body had long been unable to see the original color. His shackled body was tormented, and his wrists, neck, and shoulders were all rubbed together by the bumps along the way.
Looking at the gray hair, he should not be young, but his eyes are bright, even if he looks miserable, he still straightens his waist hard.
Sure enough, he is worthy of being a big man with military power, and this soldier's demeanor is very admirable.
Daoran walked closer and said to the old man in the prisoner's car: "Old man, little monk Daoran, I haven't asked the old man's name yet." β
The old man glanced at Dao Ran and did not speak.
Dao Ran looked at the other party's dry lips, took a black long cylinder from his waist, poured mana into it, and shook it constantly.
Soon, there was a commotion from the inside of the tube.
This is another life magic weapon refined by Dao Ran, the material is Zhu Ying's long-clawed carapace, take off a section, and make it into a long cylinder. The function of this magic weapon is also very simple, injecting mana to absorb water vapor from the air and condense it into clear water.
Even in the desert, as long as there is a trace of water vapor in the air, it can condense water, but it will take a long time.
This Spider brand infinite refill mug is definitely a must-have good thing for home travel.
Hearing the sound of water, the old man in the prisoner car couldn't help but move his throat.
Dao Ran handed over the magic weapon water cup, and the old man was not polite, opened the lid and poured it in a big gulp, and drank the water inside.
Then he let out a long sigh and arched his hand to Daoran to express his gratitude, but still didn't say a word.
Dao Ran didn't care, and continued: "Old man, your body is really tough, ordinary people are tortured like this, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold it for a long time." β
The old man looked at Dao Ran and found that the little monk's eyes were simple, so he sighed and said in a hoarse voice, "Little monk, don't take the old man's words." Knowing too much can get you into trouble. β
"Is it the trouble of the national teacher, or the trouble of the Pang Taishi?" Daoran asked.
Yang Ye was a little surprised when he heard this, and said to Daoran: "It turns out that you know a lot, and since this is the case, I won't hide it from you." The old man Yang Ye is just an old pawn in Yunzhou City. β
Dao Ran recalled that Nie Zhengyan mentioned this name when he explained the general trend of the world to him.
"Are you Generalissimo Yang of Yunzhou?" Daoran asked.
Yang Ye shook his head and said, "How can there be any generalissimo now, but he is just an old man in prison. The old man thought that as a soldier, he just had to do his duty, but who would have thought that in the end he would not be able to escape these intrigues. β
"Marshal Yang doesn't need to worry, maybe it won't be long before you can regain your freedom." Daoran said pointedly.
"Oh? What do you mean by that? Is it possible, you want to save me? Yang Ye asked.
Dao Ran clasped his hands together and said to Yang Ye: "Amitabha, it is not difficult to save people, but the little monk is embarrassed, how to reinstate Marshal Yang as an official." Even if someone succeeds in hijacking the prisoner's car, Marshal Yang, do you want to be a fugitive for the rest of your life? Or is Marshal Yang ready to return to Yunzhou and directly rebel? β
