Chapter 1075: How can a ephemera be compared to the heaven and earth? Let all the phenomena go and see all sentient beings (6)
The city passed the night in chaos.
As dawn approached, two figures jumped towards the Five Lakes Inn in the darkness. They took a sneaky look at the surrounding situation, then took off their clothes at the edge of the nearby river and washed themselves briefly.
one time.
The river was quite cool in the early morning of autumn, but it was not a big deal for these two figures. After focusing on cleaning up the strange powder and smell on their bodies and clothes, the two figures also did some introspection.
“I’m so careless...”
“Hmm, there are experts on the bad guys’ side too…”
“The last one’s martial arts is very high...”
The two of them summed it up like this, feeling as if they were lucky to have "survived the disaster". Then they simply put on their clothes, and then sneaked all the way to the side of Wuhu Inn, climbed over the wall and entered the second floor through the window.
In the small corner room.
…
The light seeped out from the eastern sky, and it was a cloudy sky in Jiangning City.
The fighting and chaos involving all five parties of the Fairness Party gradually subsided in the city. There were still fires burning in some streets, but the number of people responsible for maintaining order gradually increased. Small groups of soldiers pushed water dragons forward.
During disaster relief, some people were salvaging bodies and bags floating on the river.
Although all parties were involved in the one-night conflict, the entire chaotic scene was mainly concentrated in a small half of the city. Some places where friction had been fierce for a long time became the main battlefield, and some cities with relatively solidified forces were not affected.
Spread. There is also a certain tacit understanding among the five parties of the Fairness Party regarding "convening a conference."
After the sun rose, the fighting on the surface subsided, and all forces were busy summarizing and evaluating the losses they had suffered or the achievements they had achieved that night.
At half past midnight, Wei Xuwen, who had not slept all night, went to the east end of the city to inspect a murder scene that was in the worst condition.
“The leader of the Wulin Alliance, Long Aotian, and the Monkey King, the Monkey King, are here for a visit. God, kill, kill, kill!”
When Wei Xuwen saw this crooked line of words, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but twitch a few times. The rows of corpses in the yard proved the brutality of the intruders, and he focused on checking the knife wounds on several people.
This is not the only scene of the murder. Before coming here, he had already visited another scene of the accident. It was a medium-sized site under the name of "King of Yama". It was near dawn in the early morning.
During a period of time, an explosion occurred that collapsed three or four houses, causing some damage.
"So... things started here..." Wei Xuwen folded his hands on his chest and looked at everything with a depressed expression, "These two... things called Long Aotian and Sun Wukong...
Rush in here and kill first...that person who is guarding here..."
He pointed to the little boss who had been stuck on the wall before. The person beside him leaned over and said, "Hu Hai."
"...So they first killed this so-and-so Hai and set off warning fireworks. After a while, this man named Yu Cheng brought people over to check, rode a horse, and then was raped in front of everyone.
The rope caught him, and he ran away. On the road, he was hit on the head by a stone, and he was knocked to death..."
"...Then, the martial arts leader Long Aotian and the so-called Monkey King, the Monkey King, still didn't give up. When our General Huang Wanyong came to check again, they followed General Huang to the street over there.
, quietly ambush, and when it was almost dawn, everyone was probably asleep. These two... things wanted to take action against General Huang, but who knew that General Huang discovered them and came out to chase them. "
"...Huang Wanyong didn't expect that the other party put a barrel of explosives on the back wall. Maybe it wasn't to blow him up. He just clicked it and ran away after being discovered. Huang Wanyong came out to chase him, but he was killed by the explosives together. And because General Huang lived in
Explosives were also prepared over there, so four or five rooms were blown up directly... Now you think that these two people came for me..."
Wei Xuwen's eyes swept over the people present, and then looked at the ugly handwriting of "Heavenly destruction, destruction, destruction".
Someone lowered his head and said: "These two people are highly skilled in martial arts and appeared at this time. We are afraid that they are the children of a wealthy family who came to the city with their elders this time, and their family backgrounds are well-established."
Wei Xuwen stretched out his hand and slapped the opponent in the face.
"To write this kind of bullshit calligraphy, his family background is nothing! You guys go back and practice calligraphy for me today. In less than half a month, you will write better than here! He has a family background! I will let you know it all
Origin once! Bah”
His eyes scanned the twisted handwriting again. When things happened here last night, he should have been preparing to arrest people on the other side of the city. Although he couldn't say it at this time, he had a feeling of "when you stare into the abyss"
, the weird feeling that the abyss is also staring at you.”
It's just that some abyss are more serious, and some abyss are extremely nonsense...
"Let Lu Xian arrange the people and catch them." Wei Xuwen waved his hand and made arrangements, "I want to teach them to write!"
…
The light coming down from the sky is gray, and the clouds are flying and mist is disappearing over the field.
“Look for Chen San.”
In the afternoon, someone reported this name at Dongsheng Inn in the south of the city.
When You Hongzhuo came down from upstairs, he was a little surprised to see An Xifu with a bandage on his body.
"what happened?"
“Something happened, let’s talk while walking.”
An Xifu’s left arm was injured and his body smelled slightly of medicine. He smiled, turned around and walked out of the inn.
It was overcast and about to rain, and most of the pedestrians on the road looked in a hurry. Some were rushing home, while others were packing their packages and preparing to leave the city.
"The war is in turmoil." An Xifu said with a smile, "I originally thought that it would be a good thing for the Fair Party to hold a conference this time and open its attitude to the whole world, just like the conference in the southwest, so everyone hurriedly came.
People in the city are not busy going out. It was only last night that I discovered that there is no unified five parties of the Fairness Party, and everyone is like a lunatic, so you see, several roads out of the city are blocked today."
“I heard that despite the fighting, this morning the people from these groups were the first to ensure the transportation of supplies and grain outside the city. This shows that they did not want to scare everyone away.” You Hongzhuo said.
An Xifu nodded: "We came here in a hurry from Jin this time. We originally thought about this matter a little simpler. You see, when the five parties hold a conference, they are seeking the intentions and help of all parties in the world.
, it is natural that they will not offend the representatives of all parties casually...but this incident with Miao Zheng made us discover that things are not that simple, and there are some new changes."
“Have you found Miao Zheng?”
“He sent a letter to contact us yesterday afternoon and arranged a meeting place.”
“Then how can I...”
You Hongzhuo hesitated slightly. Liang Siyi was following Miao Zheng's line. In the past few days, You Hongzhuo and Liang Siyi had teamed up to explore several places in "King of Yama" but found nothing. Theoretically, since the other party came here, this
Bian should continue to let Liang Siyi take over the connection.
“I thought it was a scam, so I didn’t inform Siyi.” An Xifu said.
You Hongzhuo frowned and looked at the injuries on An Xifu. An Xifu smiled and tapped his left arm with his right finger: "There is indeed a scam... Fortunately, I was prepared."
“That Miao Zheng...”
…“…I’m afraid…something is going to happen to him.”
There were only a few pedestrians coming and going on the street. The two of them walked through the street under the hazy sky. They were both silent for a while. The wind blew through the street and blew the fallen leaves.
"Miss Liang...what do you think about this..."
“Brother You, why do you think we contacted you for help?”
"Um?"
"The number of people who came here this time is neither too many nor too few. We came to Jiangning and contacted old comrades from Manichaeism in the past. We can also find some helpers of this kind and that. I suddenly asked you, Young Hero You, for help.
Did You Shaoxia also have some guesses about the reasons?"
An Xifu turned his head and looked at You Hongzhuo. What he said was quite direct. The world is so big and neither of them are newbies. Such long-distance actions have attracted an untrustworthy person.
People may lead to the annihilation of the whole army. Why would I trust you directly and ask you for help just because I fought side by side? I think you must be trustworthy... Such a question is too utilitarian and not polite, but of course You Hongzhuo has thought about it
of.
But he looked at An Xifu and said nothing.
An Xifu paused for a moment. During this time, sparse drops of water fell from the sky. The two of them crossed the street and went to the eaves of the roadside.
“Siyi is a very responsible girl.”
…But sometimes, she pushes herself too hard.”
“…Of course it’s no wonder she has been sent away on the battlefield in Jin over the years. She has sent many brothers and sisters away. She is young and may not be able to see through these things…”
Autumn rain gradually fell on the long street. The two of them stood under the eaves. An Xifu said these words, and You Hongzhuo listened for a while and looked at the rain.
"When I was in the southwest, I heard that there were some courses called psychological counseling. It was said that if people were killing people all day long on the battlefield, or seeing their brothers and sisters sacrificed, it would be easy for them to feel...unhealthy. For these people, you can
Doing some... psychological counseling is really a powerful thing..."
An Xifu laughed and sighed: "It has been so hard in the north these years. Wang Shuai has an extreme personality, but he also has no money or food, so he often can't take care of so many things. In order to raise money and food back then, he had no choice but to even
It’s a bad thing that can’t be tolerated by others, and it has been done a lot..."
When he said this, he turned to look at You Hongzhuo. Seeing that You Hongzhuo was just listening carefully, he continued: "Ning Yi, my mother-in-law, has always been a bit weird and fastidious. Back in Hangzhou, she used the saying that everyone is equal.
Ideas deceived Xigua and Chen Fan into confusion. Now look at this Jiangnan..."
He said, pointing to the pedestrians running on the street in the rain in front of him: "Back then, the Anglicans wanted equality, today the Fairness Party wants equality, and many people will want equality in the future, but no matter how good the idea is or how to achieve it,
That's the real big deal... In the whole world today, only the southwest side can be a little more particular, like mother-in-law. As for us, I'm afraid we have to make do with it slowly..."
“…How can I help?” You Hongzhuo asked.
"Help keep an eye on Siyi." An Xifu said, "Wei Xuanwen wanted to arrest someone through Miao Zheng. This is very unusual. Logically speaking, if you really hope to gain relations with the outside world, whether it is killing or arresting
People who live in the Jin region are meaningless, and they have offended a big force to death... We are investigating the reason for this matter, but Miao Zheng's side... is probably not going to be easy."
"Yeah." You Hongzhuo thought for a while, and after understanding clearly, nodded, "I know, I'll kill Chen Juefang...or Wei Xuwen..."
"……ah?"
Under the eaves, An Xifu frowned, and then looked at the other person with caring eyes.
“You also... need psychological counseling?”
"I'm just kidding."
You Hongzhuo smiled.
The rain was falling outside the eaves, and the two chatted for a few more words before parting ways.
******
The autumn rain that started in Jiangning on August 21 fell intermittently for the next few days, and the humidity in the city never stopped.
This continuous rain curtain has reduced the frequency of people's travels. Without a clear purpose, most people choose to hide at home or in the inn to chat and brag.
Representatives from various forces from other places contacted all parties, and the rhythm never stopped. On August 22, the "Pingding King" Shi Baofeng entered the city, and then King Gao Tian and Zhou Shang arrived one after another. Some big figures
Spokespersons of the forces joined forces to promote their ideas to everyone: for example, the idea of the "Chinese Martial Arts Association" proposed by a group of people who came here on behalf of Dai Mengwei became the most lively topic in Jiangning's martial arts arena for a while.
Of course, only a small number of people accepted the idea proposed by Dai Mengwei and took the lead in joining in. As for more people, they were paying attention to the battle situation between the forces of Liu, Dai and Zou Xu in the north of the Yangtze River.
“As for Zou Xu, the people surnamed Liu and Dai who came from the southwest will have to wait and see if they can survive..."
For everyone in Jiangning at this time, this was one of the relatively common views on the situation in Jiangbei. Among the two sides fighting, Liu Guangshi was rich and well-connected, Dai Mengwei was famous, and on Zou Xu’s side, some were from the Chinese Army.
The identity of a traitor is really going to be put on the balance of war. The significance of this identity can be great or small. And the most important thing is that this is the first large-scale conflict of forces in the entire world after the Jurchens left.
Confucian scholars, who are said to know the most about world affairs, basically have a conservative wait-and-see attitude towards the Bianliang war situation.
Of course, Dai Mengwei already knew that human nature is like this, so he said early on that "we will not fulfill this matter until the dust settles in the Bianliang War", which can be regarded as burning a cold stove for himself and boosting his momentum. If he had been in the Battle of Bianliang
Naturally, if Dai Mengwei fails, these things will be treated as if they have not been mentioned. If Dai Mengwei really returns to Bianliang for the Wu Dynasty, the momentum of the "Chinese Martial Arts Association" will increase accordingly. It is a winner-takes-all arrangement.
The lingering autumn rain reduced the frequency of large-scale fire outbreaks outside. In the following days, most of the incidents that occurred outside were small-scale vicious incidents.
At Wuhu Inn, every night, two young figures wearing coir raincoats sneak into the rain. "Martial Arts Leader" Long Aotian and "Little Sage Qitian" Sun Wukong are looking for each other at their own pace.
The whereabouts of Wei Xuwen.
The two young knights have some ideas of their own. Sometimes their actions succeed and sometimes they fail. When they succeed, they often leave a crooked signature. The suffix of the signature gradually develops from "Heavenly Kill Kill Kill" to "Guardian".
"Xu Wen's MA is dead", "Zhou Shang is a stupid dog", "It's too bad to taint people's innocence", "He Wen loves Gao Chang" and other disgusting words.
In Zhangcun's school, "XX loves XX" has always been a very embarrassing humiliation. The person whose name is written on it is often blushing and speechless. The young monk also strongly agrees with this form of humiliation.
I feel that my eldest brother is really bad. Of course, in the eyes of a real bad guy, you will occasionally be a little confused: Aren’t you here to kill Wei Xuwen? Why does He Wen love Gao Chang...
Of course, sometimes the action will fail because of encountering a master. The consequences of a failed action are often a mess. The two young men are very skilled in martial arts, but due to the emphasis on their family or master's fighting style, they
His awareness and means of escape are even more outstanding.
The older Long Aotian has a balanced development. Not only can he fight and run, he also sets various traps and hidden weapons such as flying knives, which are even more difficult to guard against. And the one nicknamed "Little Sage Qitian"
Sun Wukong, on the other hand, took the idea of flying far away immediately after missing a hit to the extreme. Even if some masters prevented the assassination of the two people, they would always return without success in the subsequent tracking, and sometimes even suffer losses.
Better.
In a few days, the autumn rain enveloped the world of Jiangning, making every house and shack wet and gray. However, the public opinion field composed of various inns and crowd gathering points was very enthusiastic. Most of the inns, teahouses,
In wine shops, the consumption of drinks and snacks is much higher than before. Amidst this wave of public opinion, in the gossip circle under the political field, there are many discussions about the "Five-foot Yin Demon" Long Aotian and the "Little Sage Qitian"
Rumors about Sun Wukong gradually surfaced.
“...I heard that these two people came from who knows where they came from. They have been causing trouble in the city recently. They are also very skilled in martial arts. They fought with Wei Xuwen several times in a row..."
"...not just Wei Xuwen, you don't know that in the city now, in addition to the 'King of Yama', there are also the 'King of Wheels' and the 'King of Pingping' who are looking for the 'Five-foot YIN Demon'.
Everyone is spreading rumors that they want to take someone's head..."
"...I heard that this 'Five-foot YIN Demon' is a disciple of the Western Region master 'Hundred-foot YIN Demon'. After entering the Central Plains, he did all kinds of evil. Wei Xuwen, the 'Wing of Wheels', and the 'King of Pingping' all
A daughter of the family fell into his hands, and the relationship with the 'Ping Ping King' was forged in Tongshan, and he defiled the daughter of Tan Gongjian's Yan family. Do you still remember this news? Do you remember?"
“…Oh, don’t talk nonsense, there is no such thing as a ‘hundred-foot YIN demon’…”
"...Don't you understand? This is the rule of the Western Region. They are all ranked by numbers. Look at his junior brother, the 'Little Sage Equaling Heaven'... His name may be 'Four-foot YIN Demon'
…”
For Green Forest people, these gossips in the public opinion field do not need to be taken too seriously. Occasionally mentioned and vividly, it is just a conversation piece after dinner. If the news spreads more, it will inevitably lead to some things that should not be known.
in people's ears.
In the northwest of the city, the area with the best security now is controlled by "King of Fairness" He Wen. Qian Luoning, who had already had formal contact with He Wen and returned to the inn, heard this while having breakfast one day.
conversation. His eyes were a little confused for a moment as he was concerned about national affairs these days.
The two men sitting at the table next to him and several core members of the Chinese Army who came over covered their faces with their hands.
"what happened."
Qian Luoning changed tables while carrying the food.
Hei Niu explained to him in a low voice: "...Now it sounds like my little brother has entered the city."
“Why are we all at odds with the ‘King of Yama’, the ‘King of Wheels’ and the ‘King of Equality’ all of a sudden…”
"Who knows." Yuwen Feidu pinched his mouth and spoke in a very low voice, "But when it comes to making trouble, after all, he was taught by all of us..."
“You are so proud of it!” Qian Luoning glanced at him.
“Enjoy joy in suffering...” Yuwen Feidu sighed.
Xiao Hei held his face over there: "We originally wanted to find out who did it, do it to them, and block the news. But the 'Monkey King' Li Yanfeng has a higher level, so we want to discuss it with you. We
I thought it wouldn't be a problem if he stayed for three or five days, but who knew... word spread all of a sudden, and we didn't expect that he was in the city..."
"There are two things to do now. The first is to find him, take him back, and let Master and Mr. Ning teach him a lesson." Hei Niu inserted the steamed buns with chopsticks and spoke calmly, "The second thing is, since the matter has spread
, let’s create a bigger thing to overwhelm it. We are all going to fight anyway. Let’s make a plan and kill one or two of the three parties who have a rivalry with the younger brother. If the King of Fairness fights in Jiangning, everyone will die. In the future
No one will remember it.”
Qian Luoning stared at her: "Are you going to kill me?"
Hei Niu pointed to the front with her chopsticks: "Ask Yuwen to shoot the black gun, the probability of success is very high..."
The people on the table held their chins, lost in thought. Qian Luoning looked around, and then said: "Look over there..." He stretched out his hand and slapped the black girl on the head.
The black girl curled her lips and said, "You have something to say."
“Actually, what the black girl said makes sense...”
"Boss Qian is wise. I just said that black girls deserve to be beaten. I have never considered hitting people with guns. How can you be so cruel? You have a black heart and a black heart..."
The black girl stared: "Just what you just said..."
Xiao Hei sighed: "Let's just blow up the cripple tonight..."
"Okay." Qian Luoning also sighed, "You go out to look for him in the next few days, and try not to let others get there first. If you reveal your identity, you will lose your life... and that 'four-foot-yin demon'
, who is he? If you meet him, take care of him..."
“It’s the ‘Little Sage Qi Tian’, Boss Qian, he’s called the ‘Five Feet YIN Demon’, you can’t also call him the same…”
“It’s better now. Everyone in the city is looking for them. I’m surrounded by enemies on all sides..."
“Hey, I think after Jiang Ning’s incident is over, the name ‘Five-Foot Yin Demon’ will follow me for the rest of my life...”
“Don’t talk nonsense when you go back...”
“Can you talk nonsense?”
“I can’t.”
“Anyway, I won’t…it’s all your fault…”
A few people were eating, chatting, and being serious.
Since it was morning, the two topical figures "Martial Arts Leader" and "Little Sage Qitian" were fast asleep in the inn room. Ning Ji originally planned to use Wei Xuwen's head to wash away the bad rumors about himself.
, in the past two days, I feel that it doesn't matter to kill Zhou Shang. Except that they met a powerful man named Lu Xian during last night's operation, and the two parties fought and fled. At this time, they didn't know that they had already killed Zhou Shang.
Caught in a situation of being hunted by many parties...
Under the same rain curtain, outside a camp belonging to the "Undead Guards of the Wheel-Winning King", three corpses were hung high. They were the corpses of Miao Zheng's family after being tortured.
They were originally in contact with Liang Siyi, and after the failure, they took refuge with Wei Xuwen. At this time, the bodies of these people miraculously returned to the hands of the "Undead Guard".
Liang Siyi stood in the distance, watching all this in a daze. A little further away, You Hongzhuo looked at her quietly and sighed...
