Chapter 8: The Donkey Plays with the Thief
"Is the lord saying that this Lu Ji achieved the Taoist Yuan Shen at the age of twelve.....? Even no matter how talented he is, it is impossible to be so young, could it be that he is the one who has been reincarnated by autopsy?" Zhou Cheng was also agitated when he heard the word Yuanshen.
He already has a clear understanding of the cultivation realm, and those who have reached the level of Taoist Yuan Shen are undoubtedly immortal-like existences, perhaps Lu Ji was a famous historical figure in his previous life!
"Although I don't know who he was in his previous life, it won't be easy to think about. Who will be a simple person who has achieved the Yuan Shen..."Zhou muttered to himself, and he also recognized that Lu Ji was the reincarnation of the Taoist Yuan Shen. It seems that he remembered something, and he seemed to be afraid to face Lu Ji.
Zhou Cheng did not delve into the secret of his father-in-law, and then found an inn with Zhou to live in, planning to go to Yuhan County tomorrow.
In the backyard of the General's Mansion, the Lu brothers sat opposite each other under the gazebo.
Lu Ji sat down and waved his hand at the stone table, all the tea utensils on the original stone table disappeared, and then he waved his backhand, and two fist-sized, fiery red fruits appeared on the stone table.
"This is the Zhu Guo found during this trip, although it only has a thousand years of medicinal power, it is better than nothing. Lu Ji said casually.
It is regarded by the world as a fairy fruit, which can prolong life, and the immortal things of life and death are flesh and bones, but in his eyes, they are just small things that are better than nothing.
"Brother, have you found those two things this time? The vision of the stars in the sky has come out, I'm afraid our father's longevity is not much....." Lu Yun grabbed a vermilion fruit, opened his mouth and took a bite, and then asked vaguely.
"It's a pity that when I arrived in Shudi, Jiang Wei was dead, and the whereabouts of these two things are now unknown. Even if I search for Shu with the Yuan Shen, I can't see its trace, although Zhuge Kongming has not achieved the Yuan Shen, but he is also a character who is favored by the luck of humanity, if he intends to hide it, he really can't find it. Lu Ji said with some regret.
This time, he traveled the world with the Yuan Shen to find the two treasures left behind by Zhuge Kongming, the former prime minister of Shu, which was one of his purposes, but it was obviously a failure.
"The little brother has always had a doubt, what is the origin of Zhou Zhi, and the movement of Bai Ri Xingxian is really caused by him?" Lu Yun was only slightly disappointed that Lu Ji did not find the treasure left by Zhuge Kongming, but he was more interested in Zhou Zhi.
"The appearance of the sun and the stars represents the beginning of an era. Although he has a great background, he is only the reincarnation of a remnant soul, and I am afraid that he himself has noticed it, so he is so anxious to avoid me. Lu Ji seems to know a lot about the origin of Zhou, and even revealed the secret that Zhouji is just the reincarnation of a remnant soul.
"And that Zhou Cheng is the one who should die?Why is he still following Zhou Chu, and he has already entered the Dao, I even sensed the breath of Qingping Sword on him?" Lu Yun knows a lot, but after all, he does not have the insight into the heavens like his brother Lu Ji, and he doesn't know much secrets, and in front of his brother Lu Ji, Lu Yun is also like a curious baby.
"This son is indeed a variable, but what kind of treasure is that Qingping sword? How could it really appear? Qingping sword pill is just a projection, and he is also a small person who can't achieve the original god. But you and my brothers have now been pushed to the cusp, and the hermit powers in the blessed land of the cave are all watching. During this Yuanshen trip, I also met Zhu Shixing who traveled west, and I also had a game with him. Lu Ji's expression became a little serious, and there was a sense of helplessness in his tone.
"Zhu Shixing is the first person in the Han family to enter the Buddhist Sect, I think there should be a lot of people staring at him, right?
Zhu Shixing was ordained a monk at the White Horse Temple in Luoyang more than ten years ago, becoming the first Han to cut his hair and enter Buddhism.
It is rumored that on that day, the Buddha's light shrouded Luoyang, and the sky fell from the lotus, and the world was shocked at that time, but at that time, the two brothers Lu Ji and Lu Yun were not born and did not come to the grand occasion in person.
Three years ago, Zhu Shixing traveled west from Luoyang and walked to the Western Regions, wanting to go to Khotan to obtain the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures. The people in the Dao Sect have secretly tried to stop them many times, but they all ended in failure.
"He has cultivated the Buddha Gate Relic, and he also has a Buddhist Dharma name, called 'Eight Precepts'. Although I can still suppress him, I will not kill him..... And when I had the intent to kill, I could clearly feel that there were Buddhas, Arhats, and even Bodhisattvas staring at me. Lu Ji said with a frightened face, and even Lu Yun's expression changed dramatically as soon as these words came out.
Not to mention that the Lu brothers were talking about the secrets of heaven and earth in their backyard, and on the second day, Zhou Chu and Zhou Cheng rode their donkeys to Yu Khan again.
Out of Jianye City, to a sparsely populated place, the two psychic donkeys were full of hooves, and they accelerated their speed to Yuhan County, but the two people on the donkey's back were not comfortable.
Zhou Cheng and Zhou are no strangers to Yu Khan, this is under the rule of Poyang County, and they have followed Zhou Yi to Yu Khan many times.
And the people here are fierce, and they are also notoriously difficult to govern.
When they first entered the territory of Yuhan County, the two of them deliberately slowed down and headed towards the county seat at the ordinary speed of a donkey. In the future, this will be the place of governance around him, and he naturally has to have a good understanding of the mountains and rivers here.
"Lord, you said that we will ride a donkey to the post like this, will it affect your reputation in the future, the reputation of this donkey county order doesn't seem to be very good...."Although Zhou Cheng considers himself a servant, he occasionally makes some inconsequential jokes with Zhou, after all, the two have been friends for more than ten years, and it can be said that they grew up together.
"Donkey County Order.... Actually, I think it's a pretty good name. Zhou smiled slightly, the two of them seemed to have forgotten what happened to Jianye, but they were in a good mood on the road to office.
"But.... Someone seems to be interested in our donkey?" Zhou Cheng suddenly retracted his smile and his gaze fell on the grass on one side.
"In the future, this place will be under my control, maybe they are here to greet the official?" Zhou still looked unimpressed, but his voice was raised high, as if he was ridiculing someone.
"Hey, you two, leave the donkey, the uncle is in a good mood today, I can let you live. Just as the words fell, a dozen strong men with steel knives and spears came out from both sides of the road.
This posture, this tone, and the group of people in front of them are naturally undoubtedly thieves.
"You just like this donkey, but these two stupid donkeys don't have a good temper. I'm afraid you won't be able to take it away!"
Zhou Cheng also jumped off the donkey's back, he didn't speak, but his divine thoughts locked on these thieves, and now as long as he moved, the blades in the hands of these thieves could instantly devour their masters, and more than a dozen people would become ghosts under the knife in the blink of an eye.
"Yo ho..... Niu Er stepped forward to lead the donkey, and the two donkeys were sold for money, and the other went back to the cottage to improve the food. The first of the thieves had a beard on his face, and he shouted loudly, signaling to a man with a steel knife in his hand, who looked five big and three thick, to lead a donkey.
Immediately a thief walked out of the crowd, this person looked a little vicious, he ignored the two people around him, and directly stepped forward and grabbed the reins of the donkey.
Niu Er tugged on the reins, but the donkey stood firmly on the ground with four hooves, without the slightest sign of moving.
"Yo, this donkey is quite stubborn..."Niu Er said with some embarrassment, he was also puzzled in his heart, with his strength, pull the reins so hard, the donkey should not be able to stand it, and he will follow a few steps.
Seeing that he couldn't pull the donkey, Niu Er went around to the back of the donkey, waved the steel knife in his hand, and slashed down on the donkey's ass with the back of the knife.
The back of the knife slashed at the donkey's buttocks, making a clanging sound, as if it were slashed on a stone.
And at this moment, the donkey's subconscious hind hooves lifted, and with one kick, the strong Niu Er kicked over to the ground.
"Fools, you guys go up and help. Seeing Niu Er fall to the ground in embarrassment, the leader of the thieves said with a somewhat ugly face.
Several thieves surrounded the two donkeys in groups of three or five, some pulling the reins, some whipping the donkey's buttocks, and some flapping on their backs.
However, as soon as these people made a move, the two donkeys also turned on all fours, but they always avoided a few thieves intentionally or unintentionally, and knocked the thieves to the ground with various parts of their bodies. even stretched out his fat tongue quite funny, licked it indiscriminately on the thief's face, and finally spit at the thief with a disgusted look.
"Haha.... These two idiots will still spit?" Zhou Cheng saw the messy thief, who was quite embarrassed by the two donkeys, and couldn't help laughing.
"Boss, these two donkeys are weird..... "An older, thin man behind the leader of the thieves whispered.
"Do it, slaughter these two beasts. The leader also frowned, and the two donkeys made seven or eight strong men turn people on their backs, and he also faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart.
For a moment, all the thieves were carrying weapons and rushing towards the donkeys with a roar, and they were about to dismember the two stupid donkeys.
But at this time, the mutation suddenly happened....
I only heard the voice around me sounding softly: "Brother Cheng, don't stay those who have evil spirits and have murders." ”
The voice of Zhou just fell, and then Zhou Cheng's lips opened slightly, and a soft drink came out of his mouth, and then the wind in the field was fierce, and several winds were involved in it, and fell on the thieves one by one.
The wind blew, and the thieves didn't even scream, and their heads rolled to the ground.
And when the head rolled down, the headless corpses that still maintained various postures slowly fell to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, there were originally fifteen or sixteen thieves, except for three thieves who were weak and had been hiding behind, the rest were all in different places.
