Return to Zhongzhen
This cultivation is of course a good thing, but it also pays attention to the combination of work and rest. The human body is like a bowstring, which is always stretched and taut, and slowly it will be overwhelmed and finally broken, but the gains outweigh the losses. ”
After the cook made rations for Shangguan Yi for five big men, he sat next to him with a bowl of tea and persuaded him earnestly. The other cooks also listened with their ears pricked up, and if Shangguan Yi stubbornly retorted, they would also help persuade the child.
It's not that the Great Light Temple can't afford this person's diet, but with such high-intensity training, no one can last so long, if there is really an accident, it is really a pity. They were also worried that this child would be dissuaded again and again, but it was a pity......
"Well, I know, my cultivation has come to an end, and I'll be more relaxed for a while, because it's time for me to leave the Great Light Temple and go home. Shangguan Yi said vaguely with a mouth full of food. What could be more attractive than a pile of delicacies brought to him when he was about to starve to death?, so he didn't care about etiquette, and didn't swallow his food before talking, but the cooks didn't care about this, and if Shangguan Yi really did this, it would make them feel unfamiliar.
"Are you going home? Well, yes, you've been out for so long, it's time to go home and rest for a while. When the cook heard Shangguan Yi's answer, he was stunned for a moment, and then agreed, hoping that Shangguan Yi would do this, but at the same time, with a trace of regret, he was actually a little reluctant to let Shangguan Yi go. Respecting them, the chefs of the Great Light Temple, who are not of high status, will bring them gifts, are humble and polite, have great talents, and work hard, who doesn't want to stay with him? It's just that whether you want to or not is one thing, how to do it is another, the cook naturally chose to agree with Shangguan Yi's practice of going home, and began to give him the dry food to bring on the road.
Shangguan Yi can only accept this peacefully, and the kindness of others cannot be badly practiced.
After chatting with these cooks and eating and drinking, Shangguan Yi went to harass Huichen's old bald donkey.
On the one hand, tell him the news that he is leaving, and go to say hello; On the other hand, it is also to urge him to hand over the promised reward, after so many days, he should always think about what to give him, right?
However, Huichen is Huichen after all, as the abbot of a temple, he has not been greedy for Shangguan Yi's remuneration such a dirty mind, seeing Shangguan Yi take the initiative to come to the door, free and easy, and in high mood, he knew that this kid might have found a way to solve the dilemma, this time he either came to him for help or to say goodbye, ready to go down the mountain. Of course, he was more inclined to the latter, and there were still four months to go before Dudabi, so it was time to get up and go.
The facts are indeed as he guessed, Shangguan Yi came to say goodbye in advance, and he will leave after dinner tomorrow morning, and the time is very rushed, because there is no attachment.
"This is for you, in fact, I haven't figured out what is most suitable for you, but since you are leaving now, let's give you this thing that is more suitable for you.
This is the secret elixir of the Great Light Temple, the I Ching Forging Bone Pill, which is one of the best elixirs to enhance the body, and it is a special product of the Great Light Temple, and you can give one to you. Huichen handed over a pill, the outside of the pill is a layer of orange-yellow packaging, so that the pill can be stored for a long time, and even without losing its medicinal power, it is better than a porcelain bottle, but the price is also higher, and ordinary pills will not be sealed like this.
Shangguan Yi's expression was grim, not that he was surprised that Huichen didn't coo, after all, it had been delayed for nearly two months and he hadn't given it, and everyone would wonder if this guy didn't plan to give it, but it was just a suspicion that there were no bad rumors in Daguang Temple in this regard, and the Buddhists couldn't do such a shameless thing. At this time, Huichen gave it as Shangguan Yi expected, and it was unexpected not to give it, there was nothing to be surprised about, but what was given was the Yijing Forging Bone Pill which was beyond Shangguan Yi's expectations.
The Yijing Forging Bone Pill is a strategically important material for the Great Guangming Temple, and it is easy not to allow people. Because according to rumors, the key inheritors of the Great Light Temple had to go through the polishing of a Yijing Forging Bone Pill before they could continue their in-depth cultivation in the direction they chose.
This rumor is not reliable for the time being, but the fact that the I Ching Forging Bone Pill can be used as a life-saving elixir is indeed true, and it cannot be faked. It can't detoxify, but it has a miraculous therapeutic effect on internal and external injuries, as long as there is still a breath left, it can be hanged, and if it is not cured, it can be cured, at least it is life-saving. In addition, its production is said to be very small, and it is a question whether it can produce a single grain in less than ten years.
The combination of these three factors makes this elixir extremely precious, even terrifyingly precious, and it is worse than it.
"This ......" Shangguan Yi hesitated a little, and did not reach out to take it at the first time.
"Take it, it's an investment in you, beware of the threat of the Demon Dao, go ahead. "Huichen will take it out, naturally thinking about the cause and effect, and integrating many, many factors, the final decision will not change because of Shangguan Yi's hesitation. Although the return is more than the pay, the excess is just like what he said, it is an investment and a kind of wooing.
He has a very high eye for people, and can see what kind of character a person is.
Shangguan Yi is a good kid from all angles, the only thing is that he doesn't have the kind of character that is jealous and hateful, and resolutely supports justice. His temperament is neutral, and now it's just because he can't get used to the evil of the devil's path, so he is on his side. But how can there be absolute light in this world? Light and darkness have always depended on each other, if he sees the darkness hidden by the light and realizes that justice cannot help him, he may throw himself into the darkness, right? After all, not every person in the Demon Dao does a lot of evil, Shangguan Yi can abide by his bottom line, not to do evil, but to use the power of the Demon Dao to complete his own goals, and finally stand on the side of the Demon Dao in the battle between the righteous and the demon. With his ability, the people of the Demon Dao will not refuse such a deal, and they can find a large number of people to complete this kind of thing, but to become the top master in the battle of the righteous and demons, and to influence the final result, this kind of thing, the people who can do it, are rare in the world, and each of them is precious, and it is worth them to abandon their previous suspicions to recruit.
"Good. Shangguan Yi didn't think as far as Huichen thought, he thought that Huichen was afraid that he would die too quickly, and handed himself a hole card that could almost avoid death once, which almost meant adding a life, so he happily took it. He is also very afraid of death, and it is naturally good to have multiple hole cards, and there is no reason to refuse.
Afterwards, Shangguan Yi went to the acquaintances in the temple to hang out, chat, tell them the news that he was leaving, thank them for their care during this time, and say goodbye by the way. After all, it's embarrassing to pester people for so long, there are no gifts to thank one by one, and the words of leaving money are too vulgar and criticized, so just thank them verbally.
After thanking him for this, Shangguan Yi was busy until late at night, went back to pack his luggage a little, and climbed to the roof to look at the stars. He now has a wandering mentality, with a slight fear, but he can't tell what he is afraid of, and what is worth being afraid of.
Then the little monk came over, he sat on the roof with Shangguan Yi, chatting with a pair or not, but never mentioned the parting thing, the next day after breakfast, the little monk led the horse to send Shangguan Yi to the end of the road to seek Buddha, stopped, handed the reins of the horse to Shangguan Yi, and after reciting a Buddha name with his hands together, he solemnly said: "Have a safe journey, take care." ”
"Take care. Shangguan Yi replied with two words, and then got on the horse and left.
They don't have to say so many sensational words between themselves, and they don't have to talk about what will happen in the future, they don't know if they can meet again, and if anything happens, this is the last time they will meet. Even if he is reluctant, but there is no reason to stop him from leaving, everyone has their own trajectory and direction, others can't change it, and they can't change it, so they can only silently pray for it, hoping that he will be safe all the way, and the years will be safe.
......
Two come, one returns.
Shangguan Yi is still a little lonely, I have to say, habit is a terrible thing, he is used to the existence of Hua Xiangrong, so after she left, there will be all kinds of discomfort, but if she is used to it, she can't get used to it, and the rest can get used to it, after a few days of travel, he slowly got used to being alone, after all, he was originally acting alone, and it was more comfortable after regaining the original feeling.
This time it's a re-walk of the old road, but the way is already different, in order to pass various levels, he and Hua Xiangrong are very humble, and even the fox fake Huwei borrowed the momentum of the Great Light Temple, now looking back, it's actually quite interesting.
It's different when I go back and when I come, I have the passage documents of the East China Sea, and my actions between cities will not be hindered, and it is naturally easy to cross the border card, but it is also less of the pleasure of fighting wits and courage with others.
This time, Shangguan Yi did not choose to smuggle out of the chaotic place, because there was a change there before, maybe it is not over yet, and it may be over again, Shangguan Yi does not dare to risk himself, because he is not a formation master like Hua Xiangrong and An Yirou, and he knows a little about the truth that those who are fur should not be too arrogant. This is one of them, and the second is that he wants to go to Chang'an first, that is, Zhongzhen's current Kyoto, which is in the direction of Zhongzhen's closer to the Beihan, and if he passes from the chaotic place, it will be a long detour.
The road that Shangguan Yi took this time is actually a road specially opened up for this time away from the capital, this is a rare cooperation between the imperial court and Wulin, of course, you put it on the bright side to ask, no matter which side will not admit it, but there is indeed such a road for people to travel between the two countries, only pedestrians are allowed to pass, and caravans are not allowed to enter and exit the channel, although it is still necessary to check the identity, but it is not so strict, and the purpose is only to record the people who leave and enter the two countries through this road.
Identity fraud is commonplace, and they can't manage it if they want to, so just give up, don't care what your identity is, and clean you up when the time comes.
Of course, you have to pay money to take this road, and the amount is a lot, one or two silver per person, one or two from the East China Sea, and one or two from it, and vice versa, the price of other countries to Zhongzhen is also the same, and the various supply points (inns, post stations, etc.) on the way to sell things are also several times more expensive than under normal circumstances.
This is the unspoken rule of this road, before the start of Dabi, the silver has already flowed into the pockets of various countries, this is a fairly objective income, and it only belongs to the imperial court, and will not give even one percent to the martial arts side, so they are naturally willing.
It's just that I feel unhappy that why is it a big competition from the capital, and not something else, and why not hold it in the North Cold and Western Desert of the East China Sea? I can't earn a lot of money in the future, I can't eat meat, I can only drink some soup, and this is obviously not an acceptable thing for hungry wolves. However, if you can't accept it, you have to accept it, people from the capital is to occupy the right time and place, and it has become a martial arts holy land, that is, you can hold a big competition from the capital, a martial arts meeting, a martial arts conference and other grand events, and make great contributions to the economic development of Zhongzhen.
This is also one of the reasons why Zhongzhen was hated and beaten, the location is really good, and it is really embarrassing.
Shangguan Yi used a vest this time, there is no doubt that he changed his horse when he passed by his own division in the East China Sea, and also changed his outfit, wearing a green shirt with a thin horse, a thin man in his twenties carrying a heavy sword, carrying his luggage and setting off in a dashing manner, a grass swordsman Li Qingtian was born, aiming at Chang'an City.
In fact, the heavy sword is just a disguise, it is a real thing, the real sword is Shangguan Yi's saber hidden in it, but it is wrapped in layers of cloth, and there is no clue to it, plus his carefully prepared identity certificate, even if it is checked, it can only be found out that he may be the young master of this recently rising force, and the rest, don't even think about it.
As Shangguan Yi expected, he returned to Zhongzhen through that road smoothly, and then hurried from there to Chang'an City as fast as possible.
Of course, there is a reason for being in such a hurry, he wants to deal with the affairs in Chang'an City quickly, let his own people gain a firm foothold, bury this chess piece deep here, and wait for the day when he will make meritorious contributions to himself.
As for what it is...... Well, in fact, many traitors are not so low, narrow-minded existences, and some are even so smart and cunning that they make people feel numb, this time Shangguan Yi is going to deal with such a fox, a very smart and powerful fox. He is very keenly aware that this recently rising force is different from other forces, so he wants to talk to the leader of the force with some cooperation, of course, it is to talk about cooperation, or to test the leader of the force to see if he is qualified to cooperate with him.
This is an opportunity, an opportunity to get twice the result with half the effort, of course, it is also a crisis, a crisis where everything is put into water, and everything depends on the operation of Guan Yi.
