Chapter 22: Worship
Under Lu'er's words, Fang Zhongjin had already made up his mind that there was no other way than to take her with him.
He and Lu'er agreed that before anyone found out, they went to take care of their baggage and gathered at the back door. After a while, Fang Zhongjin was already hiding at the back door waiting for Lu'er, and there was nothing on his body except for some broken silver and the internal strength method. After a while, the deer also came, but with a great burden. Fang Zhongjin took the burden of the deer and carried it on his back. Lu'er shook two pieces of yellow paper in his hand and said, "Look. I already had this guide ready, and I knew it would come in handy. ”
The two of them quietly slipped out of the back door of the Shuying Pavilion to avoid being seen, and marched towards the city gate nervously. At this time, there were obviously fewer people queuing up to leave the city at the city gate than a while ago, and the city gate inspection was not as strict as the previous time. When the guard saw that both of them had a way to guide and that there were no prohibited items in their baggage, they only accepted two coins of silver and let them out of the city.
As soon as Fang Zhongjin stepped out of the city gate, his feet stepped on the dirt outside the city gate, and he felt that the air was fresh and cold. Looking back, this capital is both depressing and dangerous, and the past is unbearable, and now I have finally stepped out of this cage.
At this time, Lu'er's voice sounded in his ears: "Then big brother, how should I call you now?"
The two of them agreed to be brother and sister after leaving the city, and Fang Zhongjin pondered: The limelight of the ten clans of the Fang family has obviously passed, and not many people still care about whether there are any fish that have slipped through the net. What's more, now that he is out of the capital, no one will remember his side branch that has been removed. Then he said angrily: "You just call me Zhongjin"
"Brother Jin, where are we going now?" Lu'er asked again.
Countless thoughts swirled in Fang Zhongjin's mind, one moment he wanted to go back to his hometown to see, and another time he wanted to escape to the desert. Finally, an idea gradually became clear, and Fang Zhongjin said: "Let's go to Jiming Slope first." "Jimingpo is where my mother was buried in a disorderly manner. Today, since I have decided to flee to the ends of the earth, I will never come back. I always have to say goodbye to my mother.
The deer nodded, and they searched all the way uphill. Jiming Slope is an inconspicuous small dirt slope, because of the opening of mass graves, so there are not many people around. The slopes are overgrown with weeds, and the strange trees are long. It is like sucking in the yang energy of the dead in the world, unscrupulously pulling branches and leaves, and a path is winding and extremely difficult to walk. A few steps further in, I finally saw a gentle place hidden by trees, and in the center of that gentle place, the trees were all cut down, and there were traces of renovation on the soil, presumably there was a mass grave.
Fang Zhongjin has a mixed taste in his heart, where he is buried not only his mother, but also the brothers and uncles of the Fang family. No matter what grievances and grievances there were in the past, now you have me, I have you, and I can't tell the difference anymore. Lu'er beside him didn't ask a word, but silently followed Fang Zhongjin forward. The two of them walked through the bushes, only to find a man standing in the mass grave.
This man is always forty or fifty years old, and he has an extraordinary style. He has slightly dark skin, a long face, thick eyebrows and thick lips, and deeper facial features than ordinary people. The clothes on his body are simple, but the texture is elegant, the muscles are strong, and there is no sign of middle-aged fat. At the feet of the man were several jars of old wine, a basket of paper money, incense candles, dishes and other things. Apparently worship here. He heard footsteps and turned his head to look. Suddenly, when he saw Fang Zhongjin and Lu'er, his eyes lit up in an instant.
Fang and Lu's hearts jumped suddenly. Lu'er quietly leaned into Fang Zhongjin's ear and said, "Be careful of this person, he seems to be very interested in you." ”
The man didn't wait for Fang Fang and the two of them to react, and asked in a loud voice, "Young man, who are you also here to worship?"
Fang Zhongjin guessed the origin of this person, since he came here to worship, he must be the old man of the Fang family. But he has long since broken away from the Fang clan, and he can't talk about intimacy with Fang Xiaoru. There is no need for me to pull this relationship, so I pretend not to know the bottom all the way, and it is better to cause less trouble. He said: "My sister and I got lost on the way back to our hometown and accidentally walked here. Dare to ask where this uncle is here?"
The man squinted at them and said, "Are you brother and sister? It's so far away from the official road, you can go so wrong and not notice it?"
Lu'er pretended to be young and ignorant and said, "Uncle, don't laugh at us, the two of us escaped from the family." As he spoke, his face was dyed with two flushes, and he really looked like a boy and girl eloping away from their parents.
The man walked towards the two of them, looked at Lu'er carefully for a while, then looked at Fang Zhongjin, and said, "There is not even a home in the wilderness here, and further along your road is the top of the mountain." I'm afraid you two little dolls are going to be sleeping out tonight. I heard that there are wolves here, so be careful. ”
Fang Zhongjin looked at this man as if he was inadvertent, but actually slowly walked outside the gentle slope, blocking the retreat of the two of them.
Lu'er hurriedly looked frightened and said, "Is there a wolf?" Brother, let's go back, maybe my father and mother haven't noticed that we are gone." It's too late to go back. As he spoke, he wanted to pass past the man.
The man didn't mean to get out of the way. Fang Zhongjin didn't know what the result would be if they tried each other again, so he simply pulled the deer. Hurry and want to slide past the big man. He has made progress when he first learns internal skills, and he also has the idea of giving it a try.
The big man's body shook, but he still stopped in front of them, and said, "Is the young man in a hurry to leave?"
Fang Zhongjin didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, even if he was an old man of the Fang family, he shouldn't play his cards so unreasonable. The luck is on the shoulder, and he wants to push the other party away. This one really surprised the man. He simply stretched out his hand to stop Fang Zhongjin and said, "Since you are a young man with strong blood, if you know who is buried here, don't you want to avenge them in the sea of blood?"
Fang Zhongjin saw that this man reached out and grabbed him, and immediately flipped his wrist. This man did not give up, and the two became palms against each other, competing with each other for internal strength. The man's internal force was much greater than his, and he sucked his palm firmly. Fang Zhongjin couldn't get out, so he could only barely resist with his internal strength, and said: "I don't know which family is buried here, if they have any grudges, God will seek justice for them." ”
The big man looked up to the sky and laughed, and while urging the internal force, he said: "Don't you even care about your mother?
Fang Zhongjin was already sweating profusely at this time, and his heart seemed to be affected by the power of Wanjun, and he was about to be crushed in the blink of an eye. He still squeezed out his voice and said, "The person who killed my mother is already in a different place, and now he is buried with her and cannot separate each other. ”
How do you know that the big man did not become angry when he heard this, but suddenly unloaded his internal strength. Fang Zhongjin fell into the grass, his eyes were black, and his blood was churning. Lu'er saw that the man was suddenly willing to let Fang Zhongjin go, and he didn't say anything polite to him, so he picked up Fang Zhongjin and walked down the mountain.
The big man watched them stagger away, until they could no longer see their figures, and said, "Come out, they are gone." ”
Out of the bushes came a monk. Although he has a ring scar on his bald head, he is dressed as a martial artist. It was the great monk who was in Xie Jin's study at the beginning
Dahan said to him: "You said that he has no kung fu, just a pure scholar. ”
The monk said, "Wechen doesn't know why. When he first tried him, he really didn't have any effort on him, so he carelessly let him escape. He couldn't be found anyway after that. I didn't expect that after such a short time, he would have such a big change. ”
Dahan said: "That's his creation." He didn't even die after being condemned to the Ten Clans, isn't he a blessed man?"
The monk said, "Your Majesty, will you let him go?"
Dahan said: "I don't think he has any objection at all, so why killed him in vain." You have blamed me for killing too much and causing too much iniquity, for fear that I will eat him back. Why can't you tolerate him now?"
The monk hurriedly said: "How can Weichen not tolerate this kid, since His Majesty wants to live his life, he must be a person with boundless blessings." It's just that His Majesty doesn't care about that thing?"
Dahan said: "I have long ordered people to rummage through his house, and I haven't even let go of the vegetable field." Something should have been discovered a long time ago. Presumably it's just a legend after all. After saying that, he suddenly had great ambition in his chest, stood with his hands in his hands, looked up to the sky and said, "If you want to achieve the great cause of peace in the world, do you have to rely on embarrassment for a future life? You also underestimate the ability of you and me too much!"
