Chapter 98: The Unlucky Out-of-town Merchant

"Could it be that some big man is blocking the road? Even the carriage of the Shengde Mansion had to be avoided. Shi Cheng poked his head out of the carriage and looked at the front of the carriage.

On the originally wide road, there are now several horse-drawn carriages lying in all directions. A few noble men dressed as scholars were carefully moving aside the wooden cages that had been unloaded from the carriage. On the other side of the road, a group of big men were punching and kicking several vendors.

The scholar at the head muttered something while directing a thug beside him to open the wooden cage, and several big roosters that had been raised with oil and shiny rushed out of the wooden cage and collided with the little lamb that ran out of the other cage.

Seeing that the animals in the cage had all run out, several scholars were overjoyed, with loving expressions on their faces, and congratulated each other.

After the petty traders were punched and kicked, two of them were already covered in bruises, and the vendor at the head cried and begged for mercy to the big man who beat them and the scholars in the distance: "Ladies and gentlemen, please stop fighting, we have come all the way from Yangqiu City, and we have spent a lot of money on the road alone, if we don't have these chickens and sheep again, we will lose all our money." Our brothers still have old mothers and children who can't eat, so I beg you sons to give us a way to live! ”

"Thief bird, dare to fight back, do you know that the lamb you sold today may be your father in the last life!" A bald man punched the leading vendor, who fell to the ground as if he had a flower on his face, motionless.

"Hmph, you butchers who take pleasure in mutilating innocent creatures are embarrassed to pretend to be pitiful in front of my son!" In the distance, a noble scholar who was originally talking and laughing with his companions immediately showed a deep anger on his face after hearing the peemon's lament, he gently shook the folding fan, and walked towards the vendors who were lying on the ground and hummed bitterly, while condescendingly reprimanding the vendors: "All things have spirituality, and so are cows and horses, and the spirituality of people and other living beings is essentially no different, but they are invested in different bodies when they are reincarnated, and this is the difference between the acquired ones." This is the teaching of the first saints! Have you ever thought that the sheep you sold today might have been a living person in your last life......"

The noble scholar was still talking, and by the way, he also quoted sentences from the ancient classics from time to time, but the only responses were the cries of the merchants and begging for mercy.

"It's actually a group of Yunzhu believers, it's so hateful, beating people like this on the street, and there is no royal law!" Wu Neng said angrily.

"Sure enough, it's someone from the Yunzhu School." Shi Cheng's face was also particularly ugly.

Tie Mian was still a little at a loss about the things in front of him, he frowned, and said, "It's just a student in the academy, just report to the official, is it possible that this Yunzhu Academy still has a deep background?" ”

"When you heard the word Yunzhu, didn't you think of anything?" Shi Cheng asked rhetorically.

Iron Mask thought for a moment, then raised his head as if he had suddenly realized.

Shi Cheng said, "In the era of the ancient gods, there were a total of twelve of his proud protΓ©gΓ©s under the throne of the Eastern Land God King Qingyun Holy Venerable, that is, the twelve sages of the Qingyun Sect. The Twelve Sages inherited the teachings and ideas of the Qingyun Saint Venerable, and the teachings of the Twelve Sages and their disciples have been retained by the Twelve Sages and their disciples. The tenth-ranked sage is called Yunzhu, but the doctrine left behind by Yunzhu has become one of the five most mainstream schools among the various schools of thought in the Eastern Continent today. ”

"Shi Xianshi is right." He Qun nodded and praised, "I thought that the Immortal Master, as a native of the Western Continent, might be dismissive of the affairs of the Eastern Continent Holy Sect, but I didn't expect that the Immortal Master's knowledge was so profound. ”

"And then?" Iron Mask asked.

Shi Cheng added: "Don't think of the Eastern Continent school as our Western Continent school, for the officials of the Eastern Continent, the view of the gateway between the schools is sometimes more fierce than the party dispute. In addition, these schools themselves are extensions of the teachings of the Qingyun Sect, so it is not only the high-ranking meat eaters who believe in these schools. ”

"And then?"

Therefore, the behavior of these college students in front of them actually represents the philosophy and living customs of some people. If we report to the official today, not only will the Wangcheng Mansion not dare to deal with it, but the officials of the Western Desert Kingdom will probably have to write a letter to impeach the guests of the Shengde Mansion for meddling in their affairs and interfering with the Qing Dynasty. ”

Iron Mask didn't continue to ask on this issue, he snorted coldly: "Look at this posture, they want to let go of these chickens and sheep?" ”

He Qun replied: "That's right, I heard the accents of those vendors just now, and they are indeed not locals. Hey, if they had inquired with people before entering the city, they should have known that the east of the city, especially the North Zhulin Lane and the South Zhulin Lane, was not the place where those of them who sold cattle and sheep should come. ”

Iron Mask pointed to an intact carriage in the distance and asked, "Why is that carriage carrying pigs okay?" ”

He Qun replied: "That's right, in ancient times, there was a pair of big demons who called each other senior brother and junior brother. The one at the head is a monkey demon, and the other is a pig demon, these two big demons have offended the Yunzhu sage, so they have committed sins, and their descendants naturally cannot be forgiven. ”

Iron Mask laughed rarely: "I see. ”

Shi Cheng looked at Iron Mask a little strangely, the influence of the Qingyun Sect was not limited to the Eastern Continent and the Southern Wilderness, although after the Battle of Nanyang Island, the power of the Qingyun Sect in the territory of the Alliance Khanate began to shrink rapidly, but Iron Mask, as a Cheta who grew up on the steppe, should not be ignorant of these.

Wu Neng looked at the vendors lying on the ground moaning from a distance, and clenched his fists, "Isn't there a way to save those people?" ”

Shi Cheng said coldly: "Although I know that this is the doctrine of the Yunzhu School, it doesn't mean that I like this kind of behavior. β€œ

He Qun saw that Shi Cheng moved, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Immortal Master, don't be impulsive!" There may be one of the sons of Wangcheng University who comes out of the big family, and if the time comes, if the princes of the country are provoked to write one after another, then the immortal master, you will have no place here. ”

"Who said I'm going to roll up my sleeves and go to fight?" Shi Cheng sneered: "I have a lot of means." ”

After saying that, he waved his sleeves, and two streams of medicinal powder shot out of the carriage, and then quietly spread out in the air, enveloping the people of Yunzhu Academy and the injured traders, respectively. After doing all this, Shi Cheng said to He Qun: "Let's go, change the other way." ”

……

After the leading noble scholar dropped his bookbag, he patted the fan in his hand proudly, and walked over to his classmates gracefully.

"Brother Zhang is really a family student, and he taught those fools to be speechless in a few words, and he will definitely be able to sit in the top three in next year's imperial examination."

"Needless to say, even Mr. said that Brother Zhang's future is limitless, when has Mr. seen people gone?"

"Today rescued so many innocent creatures, you and my brother should be a big white, today the younger brother's family just bought some good monkey bones and pork loin, as well as some high-quality wild vegetables, everyone came to my house to taste it at night."

Several scholars laughed, and when they were about to leave, suddenly a younger scholar frowned and scratched his arm, and said, "Strange, why is it so itchy." ”

"Me, I seem to have some itching on my body, too."

"Strange, why am I itching too?"

The scholars gradually felt unbearable itching, and the scratched skin was also covered with large red spots, and pus even oozed from the serious places.

"Itchy! It's tickling me! The scholar surnamed Zhang was so itchy that he rolled on the ground. Seeing that there were more and more onlookers in the distance, he grabbed his body indiscriminately while shouting angrily to his family: "What are you doing stupidly!" Why don't you come up and help Master Ben! ”

Seeing that the scholars were itching and falling to the ground one by one, all the family members panicked and came up to help the young masters in their respective families scratch the itch, but their help was to no avail, and the scholars' cries were getting louder and louder.

"Second brother, what's going on, the young master was fine just now, why did he suddenly become like this."

"Could it be that the chickens and sheep raised are not clean, I heard that these things are easy to attract lice."

"Don't talk nonsense, then why are we okay?"

"yes...... Oh, no, my body is itching too! ”

"Second brother, help, my body is so itchy!"

"Is it lice jumping on us?"

"It's tickling me! It's tickling me! ”

On this side of the street, the families and scholars scratched the itch on the street. On the other side of the street, a few small vendors who had been beaten to the point of dying supported each other and carefully stood up from the ground.

"It's strange, Brother Zhao, I was still in terrible pain just now, why do I feel like I'm okay for a while?" A gray-clad vendor asked in a whisper.

Another shorter vendor spat on the ground, cursed softly, and then asked the leading vendor with concern, "Brother Zhao, are you okay?" ”

The merchant surnamed Zhao sat on the ground with a dejected face, and for a long time, he whimpered and said, "It's over, it's all gone, it's all gone......"

……

"Old Shi, what is the medicinal powder you just sprinkled?" Wu Neng asked curiously.

"The red powder is called red powder, this poison is difficult to be detected, as long as it touches the human body, it will make people feel itchy and unbearable, but the effect of the medicine will fade after about half an hour. As for the green powder, it is used to treat injuries, especially internal injuries. ”

Shi Cheng glanced at the map of the royal city in his hand, and then asked He Qun outside the curtain, "Are we about to arrive at the East Port of Dengnan Port now?" ”

He Qun replied: "Yes, but we can't enter the port, and we go to the east to the south to take the Haichao Lane, so that we can get to the market in the north of the city more quickly, which is one of the most prosperous places in the royal city, and you must go and see it, Shi Immortal Master." ”

Shi Cheng asked: "Dongdeng Nangang is not allowed to enter?" Is it to prepare for the Abyssal Mission? ”

"Old Shi, don't you know?" Wu Neng looked at Shi Cheng with some strange eyes, "Greeting the mission is only secondary, Dongdeng Nangang is a military port, and it is also the headquarters of the Fifth Fleet of the Great Wei Naval Division, where even the king of the Western Desert may not be able to enter, let alone the carriage of the Shengde Mansion." ”

Shi Cheng patted his head and said, "Oh yes, that's the case, there have been too many things during this time, and I forgot some of the homework I did before coming to Nanhuang." ”
