As soon as you enter the Gray Village, it is like coming to another world, and unlike the bright outside, the lights here are all gray.

Hongyu glanced at Zhou Bai with some curiosity, and she also sensed two strange fluctuations, the first was extremely concealed for communication, and the second was a feeling that made her disgusted from the bottom of her heart.

There is only one circular street in the entire village, and there are several branches that are exits, but from the inside, this place is far larger than the mansion outside, looking at the formation with the Dao pattern and seal outlined above the head, with Zhou Bai's current knowledge, he can only see a small half of the method of expanding the space.

The uniform standard shops on both sides of the street are covered by black cloths, and the alleys between the shops are some street stalls, each of which exudes a faint sense of mystery.

The pedestrians and vendors on the street are also extraordinary, and even some monks are not under Yan Chixia's internal fluctuations.

Zhou Bai touched his chin and sat alone in the only teahouse in Gray Village, looking down on the whole picture of Gray Village from the second floor, but the red jade around him was nowhere to be found.

After seventy years of tea, Zhou Bai got up to settle the bill, and left this gray village that was still unfamiliar to him without hesitation.

Returning the same way, the moment he pushed the door out from the entrance, Hongyu walked out behind him, the guards at the door were still the two of them, the two looked at Zhou Bai Hongyu, who had already walked away, and one of them quietly crushed the wooden talisman in his hand, but he didn't know that the fluctuation of spiritual power was wrapped and dragged into Zhou Bai's hands by the strange black line.

Zhou Bai looked expressionlessly in the direction of the military and political department in the city, and the mockery in his eyes flashed.

"Ruby, let's go. ”

Let's go, Hongyu was stunned.

Zhou Bai said with a smile, "I've been doing the carriage for more than a month, and I'm a little tired, why don't you leave the inn for the time being, how about we leave directly?"

Zhou Bai's words, Hongyu naturally obeyed.

The two abandoned the carriage and went straight out of the north of the city.

After crossing Jishui, the two did not return to the official road, but directly cut through the thorns and thorns to break a small path and go straight to the north, until they met the village before moving along the ridge.

Walking through one village after another, Zhou Bai found that the people of the Northland were fierce and fierce, it was really not a misinformation, almost every household had a good weapon, and the whole village was angry at a glance, but in the face of outsiders, he was simple and kind.

Zhou Bai suddenly felt something, looked back, and saw a black cloud surging in the direction of Jinan City, and the qi of the soldiers turned into arrows and pointed at him.

Zhou Bai couldn't help sighing: "The tree wants to be quiet, but the wind doesn't stop." After finding a farmer and buying two donkeys with Hongyu, the two rode on the donkeys, not caring at all about the black clouds of military energy that were gradually approaching.

It was already noon on the second day when they arrived at Pingyuan County, and the black clouds that were approaching before had already diverged from them and headed for Yangxin County.

After a day of repair, the two set off again, but the black cloud also turned its head and pointed straight in the direction of the plain.

Looking at the black clouds that had gone astray again, Hongyu wondered, "Why has this Northern Frontier Xuanjia been chasing us all the time?"

Zhou Bai laughed when he heard this: "Because Xiahou wants to be righteous." ”

"Righteousness?" Hongyu was puzzled.

Along the field path, Zhou Bai wrapped the cotton clothes on his body and explained, "The army is peaceful in the world, so how to govern the country?"

Hongyu opened her mouth and replied, "Of course, it is an official." ”

"Where did the officials come from?"

Hongyu thought for a while and said, "The Liang Dynasty seems to be based on two kinds of promotions, honesty and imperial examinations, does this have anything to do with you?"

.....

"Father, who is Zhou Bai that sacred, and why did my father go so far to find him?" In Youzhou City, a child wearing a close-fitting short robe and the tip of his nose was red from the cold, and asked after reading the military order in his hand.

Although he is only twelve or thirteen years old, the heroism between his eyebrows and the confidence in his bones are far beyond ordinary people.

Xia Hou stopped the wolf pen in his hand and said with a smile: "Jie'er, do you know that the Confucian sage cares about it?"

Xia Houjie rubbed his stiff palms and said proudly, "Of course I know, although Gu Xizhi is a literary saint, he is just a Confucian hype, and it is just a false name." ”

Xiahou put down the brush and took Xiahou Jie's cold palm, walked outside, looked at the falling goose feathers and snow, and said, "False names, but what Confucianism needs is these false names." Although my Liang Liang is based on two kinds of awards, no matter which one is to be familiar with the Confucian classics and govern the country with Confucianism. Nowadays, Confucianism has been monopolized by the high-level officials of the Taixue Academy. Let the dynasty change, and they are the ones who control the government and the opposition, what should I do?"

......

Hongyu frowned and said, "Establish another Confucianism and praise you as a saint?"

Zhou Bai said with a smile: "I have a heroic spirit, and the forces in the world now know it, and this is the foundation of canonization." If there is a rebirth of Confucius and Mencius in the world, I'm afraid those Confucian students will all be crazy, right?"

"Then they are directly hyped, why are they looking for you?" Hongyu said.

.....

Xiahou touched Jie'er's hair and said with a smile, "My purpose is not to make Zhou Bai holy, but to make Zhou Bai a saint in my general's mansion, and then become a saint." The way of cause and effect is all in the word 'wish'. If I don't want to, even if I push Zhou Bai to become holy, Zhou Bai and I will be of no use. And the strength of the woman around Zhou Bai is extraordinary, and the insect was like a god in my eyes back then, and it fell into the hands of Hongyu and had no power to fight back. If it is forcibly persecuted, it will be a great disaster for the father. ”

"But Zhou Bai has already seen through his father's thoughts, will he have fled?" Xia Houjie felt the warmth of his palms and raised his head and asked.

"No, it won't. Xiahou asserted. "From the moment he crossed the river, he traveled all the way north without stopping, there must be something important to come to the border, and he will not leave until the matter is completed. ”

.....

"You Terrans have really blown my mind. After listening to what Zhou Bai said, Hongyu couldn't help but sigh.

Zhou Bai stretched out his hand, and a piece of ice fell into his hand. I don't know if the snow has also fallen in Youzhou City at this moment.

Finding a deserted temple and looking at the snow-white that had covered the mountain plains in a moment, Zhou Bai's eyes went to Youzhou, which was thousands of miles away.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and from time to time it has not passed the threshold of the small temple, and the world is already a vast white field, just when Zhou Bai was going to make a fire to keep warm, he saw an old monk with a white beard and white eyebrows lightly clasping the open door.

"Amitabha, Lord Zhou, can the poor monks be allowed to take shelter from the wind and snow when the heavy snow closes the mountain?"

It wasn't until there was a knock on the door that Hongyu realized that someone had already come to him, and it was the second time that he felt like this!

Zhou Bai's eyes signaled that Hongyu didn't need to be nervous, and said sideways, "Master doesn't have to be polite, since you deliberately came here, why do you deliberately ask?"

The white-eyed old monk smiled when he heard this, "I heard that Mr. Zhou is a wonderful person, and now it seems that this is indeed the case." Walking into the small temple, the old monk saluted and said, "Poor monk Baiyun, I have seen Mr. Zhou." ”

Bai Yun?Zhou Bai's heart moved, and he smiled, "Master Baiyun doesn't know why he came?"

Bai Yun stared at Zhou Bai's eyes, then glanced at the red jade girl and said with a wry smile: "Mr. and my Buddhism have already been offset, why are you still so protective of poor monks?"

Zhou Bai was stunned for a moment, this Baiyun is really extraordinary, in the movies of his previous life, he could even quickly become a golden-bodied Arhat who had not yet entered the little monk, but now that he has been contacted, he has far surpassed the number of junior monks in Maoshan.

Stretching out his palm from his sleeve, a wisp of black thread dissipated into his hand.
