Chapter 158: The Beginning and the End of the Oolong
"So it was. Jiang Yichen took a deep breath, recalling the events of more than ten years ago in his mind.
More than ten days ago in the Misty Valley, he was there.
More than ten days ago, he was also there.
It was precisely because he recognized the four people of Tingyu Pavilion who he had seen in Juyuan in the past in the Bafang Shop, and he also sensed their ill intentions from the clumsy acting skills of Zi Yexuan and Lin Langju.
So, he followed all the way to the gorge, and together with Feng rescued the four people of Tingyu Pavilion, and also killed Duanmu Wuliang and Huangfu Jun and others.
When he rushed back from the dense forest to Bafangpu, he also saw two teams of people running on the avenue.
He recognized the first team of people as people from the Demon Palace, but he didn't know that the two people who rushed behind the Demon Palace were people from the Beacon Tower.
The people of the Beacon Tower were obviously waiting for an opportunity to spread rumors, whether it was hostile revenge between the four seas and nine states, or whether there was a deeper secret in it, he did not know.
These days, he is bent on finding revenge, and he doesn't pay much attention to the affairs of the rivers and lakes, although Feng found him ten days ago, Xu saw that he hated him, except for persuading and helping him regain his swordsmanship, he did not mention anything else.
After being silent for a while, Jiang Yichen spoke: "At the moment, it seems that this burden of loss of print is difficult to get rid of in the Yuge, what are you going to do next?"
"Alas, let's take one step at a time, if Lao Luo successfully escapes back to Jiangning County, at least there is a Moral League that can help carry it for a while. As for my identity, there will always be a time when I will be recognized, at least now I don't have to carry a stone and pretend to be tired, how many people can be lured away, how much pressure can be relieved for Lao Luo's side. It was a slightly heavy topic, but it was an extremely easy thing for Ji Zhe.
"Everyone in the Tower tonight has known your identity. Jiang Yichen briefly described to Ji Zhe what happened in the Shenlou tonight.
"Hey, I wondered at that time, the play has ended, everyone is leaving, but I don't see any movement on the god tower, and the guests and guests on the god floor are really so honorable, I don't care to walk with me and other ordinary people in the market, I didn't expect to open a small stove there. However, it doesn't matter, I still have some charm after all, and I don't have to worry about seducing people. Ji Zhe quipped.
"Brother Ji is alone in doing this difficult and dangerous thing, it is inevitable that there will be times of negligence......" I don't know why, seeing Ji Zhe's open-mindedness for the safety of others, halfway through his words, Jiang Yichen didn't know in what capacity he cared about others.
"Brother, if you can't go through it vigorously in life, won't you live your life in vain?
If I can't make waves, but I have the ability to help the people around me do it, I will do whatever it takes to try it, and then my life will not be boring.
What's more, for those of us who are remnants of Shifu, this life is now picked up, and we don't want to cherish it, but we just want to make ourselves more valuable whether we are dead or alive.
As the saying goes, destiny is hard to disobey.
If God insists on taking my Ji's life, it doesn't matter, but Ji is not a person who compromises easily, so he has to fight with the sky anyway.
This time, Ji is fortunate to have the help of his brother, next time, maybe Ji will have another adventure?"
Although he didn't know who the person beside him was, Ji Zhe could feel this person's heartfelt concern, and he could probably guess that this person had an old relationship with them Tingyu Pavilion or Shifu, but he didn't want to involve him too much.
"Little brother, and forgive Ji for his rudeness this time, don't ask your name, first, Ji doesn't want to pull you down this muddy water, and second, Ji may not be able to repay this favor, it's better not to know, if he can survive here, he will be able to meet his brother again one day, and he will definitely drink and talk and make friends with each other. Say goodbye!"
When the voice floating from afar came into Jiang Yichen's ears, he was stunned and realized that the people around him were long gone.
"Listening to Yuge's current situation, it seems that it is inseparable from me...... Brother Ji, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you in the next place, as long as the matter of the Earth Evil Gate can be successfully concluded, I will go to help Tingyu Pavilion get out of trouble, I hope we will have a chance to meet again. Jiang Yichen secretly made a decision in his heart.
*********
Summer days always come very early, and when the morning light is misty, the city of Jinju has exploded.
In Jinju City overnight, a total of nineteen dead bodies appeared near the four gates of the south, east, and west.
The east gate was a bit more tragic, with a total of twelve corpses.
There are separate gates in the north and south, but there is only one in the west gate, which is the body of the crow on the city wall.
Naturally, such accurate information would not be known to the common people, and the officials of Jinju rarely paid attention to the battles on the rivers and lakes, and this incident did not involve their interests, let alone the people reported to the officials, so they naturally didn't bother to take a look, but just said hello and cleaned up the scene.
Corpses are easy to dispose of, but blood stains are not easy to erase.
The children in the city also sang classic songs in Jinju over the years, such as "Jinju moonlit night, 100 ghosts walking at night, parade through the streets to ask for their lives", and these are just ghost stories made up by adults to keep their children from going out at night.
Everyone is not stupid, the incomparably clear sound of swords last night, especially the sound of thunder from the west of the city, combined with the bloodstains visible in the early morning, has shown that this is a bloody battle in the rivers and lakes.
However, these fights took place near the city gate, and they did not affect the people, and it was none of their business, so everyone could continue to live with peace of mind.
Last night, the forces from all over the world gathered in Jinju City, even if they didn't hear everyone's analysis of the identity of the fake Luo Piaoling on the Shenlou of Tinglan Xiaozhu, but after discovering that this brocade-clothed man had the intention of absconding out of the city at night, they guessed that this person knew martial arts, at least some light skills, otherwise no matter which direction he fled from, he would eventually have to climb over the tall city wall.
The reason why I chose to escape from the city gate is because after climbing over the city wall, I can walk along the unobstructed official road, without worrying that after climbing the wall, I will get lost in the mountains and forests or fall into the lake, causing trouble for myself.
As for why there are bloody clashes between gangs at the south and north gates where Ji Zhe did not go, the root cause is that everyone found that the target they were tracking disappeared and after the troops were dispersed, they were too suspicious and suspicious because of gains and losses, and these frictions and conflicts appeared.
Of course, these conflicts are all turned overnight, after all, everyone is dressed in black and masked, hiding their respective identities, and now that something has gone wrong and suffered a loss, they want to ask for revenge, they will only laugh and be generous, even if this bitter fruit is big, they have to swallow it with tears in their stomachs.
In the early morning, seven or eight teams of men and horses rushed out of the west gate, which was rarely visited, while more people left through the south gate.
Obviously, the big guy is not stupid, since last night's incident, he has also analyzed the whereabouts of this fake Luo Piaoling, as for the true identity of this person, through the mouth of Tinglan Gongzi last night, combined with the relevant information of Tingyu Pavilion in their respective hands, they can roughly guess that this person should be Ji Zhe who went to Shaolin with Luo Piaoling.
And many forces spent most of their efforts, dispatched a lot of manpower to work Ji Zhe, and in the end there was a big oolong, which had to be attributed to Murong Jing's arrangement, after the news of the theft of the seal, it was Murong Jing and Liu Mengchen who first found Luo and Ji, and the first draft of Luo Piaoling's portrait and the description of Luo Piaoling's figure and dress that came out later were all spread by Murong Jing, and from the beginning, everyone was misled by Murong Jing's strategy.
Now everyone has worked hard for a Ji Zhe for so long, although they understand that this person is not Luo Piaoling, they are not willing to give up, but they have reduced some manpower, but they still have to chase it to the end, after all, before and after the theft of the seal, Ji Zhe and Luo Piaoling are together, and it will not be useless to catch him.
With such a mentality, there are still many forces that follow Ji Zhe's wishes.
All of the above has little to do with Jiang Yichen today, no matter how noisy the outside world is, he is still asleep in the inn at night.
When he saw off Ji Zhe last night and returned to the city, Jiang Yichen encountered a large group of people from various factions who were looking for sound to come and go near the West City Gate, and in order to avoid them, he also spent a lot of effort before he returned to the inn safely in the morning.
After that, he didn't go to sleep immediately, but started his daily homework.
In his current life, there are two hatreds that he dare not forget, the hatred of Xishan Island in blood, and the hatred of Wuxiangmen, which is love for Xishan Island and righteousness in Wuxiangmen.
The purpose of this trip out of the island is very clear, the Twelve Sects of Heaven, the Cardinal Sect, and the Tushi Gang are all his enemies, and he will definitely destroy them.
As for his parents, he still has too little information now, so he can only focus on the present.
Ever since he made up his mind to come back to take revenge, he has been thinking about making himself stronger all the time, and he spent two years cultivating the "Frost and Snow True Qi" and "Point Acupoint Pulse Interception Heart Method" to the highest level of perfection.
But he also knew that with his current strength, it was not enough to provoke those behemoths, so he could only take one step at a time, and first test the water from the rudder of the Twelve Heavenly Demon Gates.
In addition to the cultivation and consolidation of those two internal skills, there is one thing that he persistently does every day, and that is to silently recite the "Method of Sitting and Forgetting the Heart without Phase".
"Sitting and forgetting the heart" is the practice of Zhang Sanchuan and his Wuxiangmen, other things can be lost, but he does not dare to forget this heavy responsibility, he has tried to practice, but he has never been able to do the method, he can only first cultivate the "Point Acupoint Pulse Interception Heart Method" to improve his own strength, the practice of the method of sitting and forgetting the heart can only depend on his future comprehension.
In order not to forget this mental method, he can only memorize it silently every day, and at the same time try to understand the meaning of the mental method.
Even in the few days when he practiced swords with Feng in the windless forest, he never missed this daily compulsory homework.
I have to say that there is another great advantage of memorizing this obscure mental method, that is, it is easy to get tired, so that you can sleep deeper and more comfortably.
So, today's sleep Jiang Yichen slept directly into the afternoon.
After waking up, he looked frightened, and after determining the specific time with the inn guys, he let out a sigh and said happily: "Fortunately, it's still in time." ”
