Chapter 61: Good as Water
The hustle and bustle of the day finally passed, and at sunset, the entire General's Mansion was a lot quieter, and in Ma Zhufan's room, Long Batian, Wang Xiaopang, and Chu Xixi gathered together.
Long Batian said proudly: "I just clicked it, plus the reward of King Wu, now I have a total of four boxes of gold, not counting jewelry, and not precious supplements, what ginseng, deer antler, Ganoderma lucidum, tiger whip and so on." β
Chu Xixi was a little confused, and said in confusion: "What is a tiger whip? How can it be considered a tonic?" Long Batian couldn't answer when asked, but he didn't dare to say it, and looked at Ma Zhufan for help.
Ma Zhufan was also a little big, and hurriedly changed the topic: "Little sister, we are not a bribe like this, right?"
Chu Xixi smiled and said: "What kind of bribery is this? There are so many soldiers under you to raise, what kind of bandits do you have to fight, and the war also requires money, this is what they should pay, otherwise who will protect them?" After hearing this, Ma Zhufan nodded a little reassuringly.
Ma Zhufan looked at Chu Xixi, Long Batian, and Wang Xiaopang and asked, "Why are you with me, weren't you taken away by the head of the sect to accept the ore vein, and what happened during the month I was in a coma?"
Wang Xiaopang preemptively said: "It's the head who doesn't worry about you and sends us to take care of you, when you suppressed bandits in the Yuque Mountain Range a month ago, only Senior Brother Zifeng returned to the Wuchen faction alone, and said that you encountered a strong person, you, Senior Sister Zhou, and Senior Brother You all fell, and a thousand elite infantry were all killed, which can be described as a heavy loss." β
Chu Xixi continued: "The head of the Wuxing faction heard that his own disciple was sucked into a human body, and he almost fainted to death, and the head of Zilan also secretly shed tears when he heard the bad news of Zhou Yumeng, and His Royal Highness the King of Wu was even more furious, and the head of the Wuxing faction heard that you had also fallen, and he felt very uncomfortable, so he sent the three of us to the Wuchen faction to find out about you." β
Long Batian also said: "This incident caused a sensation in the entire Wuyu Country, the King of Wu ordered the head of the Wuchen faction to personally lead the team to kill the Qi Solid Thief Kou in the Yuque Mountain Range, there are about a hundred cultivators in the Wuyu Country, and the three of us also joined the encirclement and suppression queue, and our group found four hundred elite infantry halfway through, and everyone also had hope in their hearts. β
Chu Xixi said worriedly: "The head of Zilan took us to the cave of the thief, and our group looked at the piles of corpses in the cave, as well as the skinning pavilion, the bloodletting pool, the guillotine, and the broken bone forest, many senior brothers and sisters saw that vomiting was not worth it, it was too cruel, I really don't know what a cruel struggle you have experienced, and then came to the entrance of the cave of the Soul Gathering Palace, the opening of the cave was blocked by a boulder, and the head of Zilan was so anxious that he split the boulder with one palm, and everyone entered the hole. After speaking, Chu Xixi couldn't bear to continue.
Wang Xiaopang continued: "At the beginning, what attracted everyone's attention was Senior Brother You Yun who was sucked dry, Master Lu saw that his beloved disciple was sucked dry, where did he care about anything, holding the body of Senior Brother You Yun and crying into tears, the head of Zilan asked us to quickly find your whereabouts, everyone found that you were leaning against the wall with a pale face, your face was withered, as if you had been dead for a long time, and Senior Sister Zhou Yumeng was lying on your lap, and she didn't move at all, everyone thought that you had fallen for a long time. β
Long Batian said: "But Sister Xiaoxi was the first to accept the news that you were dead, and hugged you like a madman and cried, and suddenly she shouted loudly, saying that you still have." Heartbeat', Zilan was busy investigating your and Senior Sister Zhou's injuries, Zi Zhangmen was also amazed, such a serious injury, trapped in the cave for five days, and even survived without drinking a mouthful of water, it was a miracle, and later we also found the ashes of the Qi Solid Strong Man after being burned, and everyone was amazed that it was the two of you who killed the Qi Solid Strong, which is almost impossible. β
When Ma Zhufan heard it, he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Senior Sister Zhou is also alive, that is the best thing, and at the same time, he also looked at Chu Xixi gratefully, took her soft, and let her sit on the edge of the bed.
Chu Xixi said with a little relief: " Whether you and Senior Sister Zhou's endangered lives can be saved, it is really a major event that almost all immortal cultivators in Wuyu Country are concerned about, His Royal Highness King Wu has used a lot of life-sustaining precious medicines on you at any cost, and asked famous doctors to treat the two of you, about half a month ago, your injuries finally stabilized, but you were too weak to be unconscious, King Wu needed to return to Wuwang City because of urgent matters, and when he left, he drafted a handwritten message, Feng Xiaoge was the general of the Guhuai Mansion Prison Guard, and announced the entire Wuyu Kingdom, after receiving the hand, a few of us led you to Guhuai Mansion in a comaγ β
"Zhu Fan, you don't know how much Sister Xiaoxi suffered during the month you were in a coma, serving you day and night, secretly wiping your tears every day, for fear that you wouldn't wake up. Long Batian interjected.
After Ma Zhufan heard this, he looked at Chu Xixi deeply and didn't know how to speak, but he reached out and touched Chu Xixi's soft green silk, and took her in his arms, Chu Xixi's face was flushed, and he said: "Little brother, everything is over, you wake up, Xiaoxi is relieved." β
Time flies, a month has passed in a blink of an eye, it is now the frost season, it is about to approach the beginning of winter, everything is withering, the grass and trees are yellow, Ma Zhufan is sitting alone on the mound by the ancient Yellow River, the wet cold wind hits his face, Ma Zhufan has a pile of waste spirit stones next to him, a month he has absorbed the true qi in the hundred spirit stones rewarded by the king of Wu, plus the daily cultivation of the overlord formula, now the true qi of his dantian has the size of a bowl, the capacity of the true qi is enough for him to break through the realm of qi, but he can not find the acupuncture points on his feet, in recent days he has also tried to understand the law of natural balance, but he can't feel anything at allγ
It's early morning, there is a layer of mist on the river, it seems that the river is a little mysterious and dreamy, Ma Zhufan is playful, takes off his shoes and socks, regardless of the coldness of the river, walks barefoot in the mist-shrouded river, the coolness of the river rises from the soles of his feet, Ma Zhufan gasps,
Looking at this situation, he suddenly appeared in his mind, the four unique ancient poems in the overlord formula, he closed his eyes and felt it, the poem was called "Chasing the Road": "The fairy fog is confused, and the intoxication is easy. The avenue is invisible, unswerving until death".
Ma Zhufan felt the content of the poem, the fairy mist on the river was filled, and he couldn't tell the direction, but he was in the middle, but he was physically and mentally quiet, listening to the sound of gurgling water, breathing clean air, forgetting his troubles, he was so intoxicated, this may be the tangible in the invisible avenue, even if he chased the Tao and died in this life, he would not change my heart to the Tao.
He thought of an idiom he had seen in books before, "the good is like water", water disperses all things without fighting, and the evil of all people (wΓΉ), so it is more than the Tao, this sentence refers to: the supreme character is like water, Ze is surrounded by all things without fighting for fame and fortune, not with the world's general knowledge, not with the world's people for the length of a while, so as to be the softest but can tolerate the world's mind and bearing.
