Chapter 165 There are six original five heroes in Angzhou
"Taoist priest."
"Um?"
"Sanhua Empress has read it a hundred times, why do I still not understand its meaning?"
"real?"
"Really! Empress Sanhua was afraid that she would count wrongly, so she read it more than a hundred times!"
"I see."
"How come you still don't know what it means?"
"Maybe I was negligent." The Taoist thought for a while and then remembered, "I forgot to tell Empress Sanhua. The hundreds, thousands, and thousands in the old saying are generally imaginary numbers."
"Imaginary number~"
"It's just a false number. One hundred is not really one hundred, and one thousand is not really one thousand."
"How much is that?"
"It means many things."
"It refers to many things~"
"Reading a book a hundred times means reading it many times, not really a hundred times." The Taoist patiently explained, "Some are a hundred times, some are more than a hundred times, or even ten thousand times."
"!"
"But Sanhua Empress, there is no need to be anxious. This matter is the same as spiritual practice. You should not rush into it. If you want to finish reading it in one day, it may not be possible no matter how many times you read it. You have to let nature take its course." The Taoist stretched out his hand to touch the little girl next to him as he walked.
His head felt warm, "Secondly, poetry doesn't necessarily have to have an obvious meaning. Sometimes just understanding the artistic conception is enough."
"Can't understand."
"Slowly you will understand naturally."
"oh……"
At this moment, several Jianghu people appeared in front.
Several people, all wearing coarse linen clothes, were walking along the mountain road boredly, looking left and right. From time to time, a person would rush to a high place next to him and stretch his neck to take a look into the dense grass.
It's like searching the mountains to try your luck.
"There's someone in front."
The heroine lowered her voice to remind Song You.
"These people look familiar."
"We met yesterday afternoon."
"I see."
The heroine wanted to remind him not to show timidity and to be more calm, maybe he could still get through. But when she glanced at the Taoist, she found that he was still calm and calm, even his steps and breathing were as usual, so why did she need to remind him?
The heroine wanted to discuss with him how to deal with it for a while. If there was a conflict, how could the conflict be resolved in the simplest, quickest and cleanest way, but after taking a look at these people, she felt that even if they were not small fish in the world, they were
Although he is not considered a top expert, this Taoist has the skill of Taiwei Mansion and is so calm that he doesn't need to worry about it himself.
So I just walked side by side with him and looked forward.
When Song You and his party saw these Jianghu people, these Jianghu people also saw them.
At first, I didn't think anything was wrong. I just felt that Song You and his group looked familiar. But I soon realized something was wrong, because Song You was carrying a wooden box half a man long and wrapped in oilcloth on his back - the rivers and lakes that came to this mountain.
People are very wary of long parcel boxes like this.
Immediately, someone grabbed his companions and gathered them together in a pile. They stopped, looked at each other for a few times, and then looked at the group of people walking towards them.
A Taoist holding a staff, he looks young.
A masked woman holding a long knife.
A little girl, petite and cute, was blowing a whistle and looking at them with a pair of pure eyes.
There was also a pony, not much bigger than a donkey.
This group of people got closer and closer to them.
Several Jianghu people stood there, almost turning their heads as they approached. Some kept looking at them, while others stared at the package behind the Taoist. The division of labor was very clear.
Wu Nuxia could very keenly notice that although no one among these people had put their hands on the handle of the knife yet, all of them had tensed up and were ready to go.
"A few..."
No one is willing to risk their lives for someone who doesn’t know the details as soon as they come up. An older Jianghu person came out with a smile on his face, cupped his hands and asked, "You just went up the mountain yesterday, are you going down the mountain now?"
"Yes." The Taoist also saluted, "I haven't found a miracle doctor."
"We met twice, and it was fate. I haven't introduced myself to my family, and I haven't asked a few people for their surnames. It's my fault." Jianghu people said, and they cupped their hands again, "My surname is Zhu Mingkui.
We are four sworn brothers. People in the world praised us and nicknamed us the Five Heroes of Angzhou."
After he finished speaking, two people behind him also reported their names.
There were two other people who seemed to have a cold personality, or were roughly aware of what was going to happen, and did not want to do anything like this. They just looked at Song You and his party without saying a word.
"My surname is Song Mingyou. I am not a Jianghu person, but a Taoist. I used to practice in Yinyang Mountain, Lingquan County, Yizhou. I traveled here with my children. I heard that there is a miracle doctor in Changjing, so I came here to look for him to gain more knowledge."
"It turns out to be Mr. Song. Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you."
"The person behind you sir is..."
Zhu Kui looked at the woman holding a knife behind Song You.
I realized yesterday that this person might not be easy to mess with.
"What Wu did was without any sect or sect."
"It's not like a heroine has no family or sect."
"If you don't want to tell me, don't ask."
"Okay, okay, don't ask, don't ask." Zhu Kui waved his hands repeatedly, as if he was easy to talk to, and then narrowed his eyes and looked behind the Taoist, "But what is Mr. carrying on his back? I didn't see many people when I went up the mountain yesterday.
I have such a thing on me."
"A gift from a friend."
"It turns out it's something entrusted by a friend." Zhu Kui grinned, with big yellow teeth in his mouth, "Since it's something entrusted by a friend, and it's wrapped up so tightly, due to emotion and reason, we shouldn't investigate...but sir also knows that we are
I'm searching for a treasure in the mountains. The treasure is precious, more valuable than life. I wonder if sir, can you open it and let me take a look?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately added:
"It's not a embarrassment, Mr. After reading it, if it is not the object we are looking for, no matter what it is, no matter how valuable it is, we will just pretend we didn't see it, apologize and leave immediately!"
"Exactly what you are looking for."
The Taoist raised his hand to salute him and told him sincerely.
"!!"
It was such a sincere statement, even the tone was as gentle as before, but the meaning was so straightforward that a group of Jianghu people instantly became nervous, staring at the Taoist priest who was saluting, and reaching out to touch the knife.
Some people have just stretched out their hands, some have already touched the handle of the knife, and some have pulled out half an inch of the knife, but that's all.
Everyone's body movements stopped abruptly.
The picture seemed to be frozen.
All five people stayed where they were.
Even everyone's expression remains the same, either surprised, angry, or fierce. Their eyes look at different places, all fixed on this. It's quite interesting to look closely.
Wu Nuxia was shocked when she saw this: "Ding root method?"
"Of course."
"Awesome, Taoist Master."
It was still the same sentence, coupled with her relaxed tone, it didn't sound like a compliment or a compliment at all, it just sounded like a mantra.
"Woooooo~"
The little girl blew a whistle, walked up to one of them, raised her head and stared at him.
At this moment, another sound broke through the air.
"puff!"
An arrow flew from a distance and pierced the sky.
Ten feet away, it's here in an instant.
"laugh!"
It only took a moment for the heroine to slash with her sword.
It was so late, so fast, and in a time that ordinary people couldn't react, the sharp blade of the sword had arrived in front of Song You. Then with a snap, the arrow had been accurately stopped by the long sword.
"Thank you, Heroine."
Song You smiled and saluted her.
Wu Nuxia ignored him, and with a flash of her sword in hand, she chased him in the direction of the arrow.
Song You's smile grew stronger.
Although the warriors in this world do not have the ability to conquer the void or split mountains and rivers with swords, the Taoists are not omnipotent. Most of them only learn some Taoist methods. Speaking of which, 99% of the Taoists in this world may not be able to fight in a battle.
Can win the martial arts with certainty.
The methods of those who practice Xuanmen are naturally mysterious and difficult for warriors to guard against, but they themselves cannot withstand the swords of warriors.
Even if there is a Taoist who can open an altar to pray for wind and rain, a Taoist who can stretch out his hand to summon thunder, or a Taoist who can easily subdue evil spirits, as long as he has not developed the ability to be invulnerable and has no other means of saving his life, he will be decapitated by a knife or shot through by an arrow.
Whether the body deserves death or not, it is euphemistically called military relief. In fact, there are so many Taoist monks who have died under swords, guns and sticks. How many of them have actually attained Taoism after death?
After a hundred years of life, it is difficult to learn the Tao and Dharma, and few people can master everything.
Therefore, this heroine seemed to be relaxed on the surface, but in fact she was always vigilant, just to be prepared for a sneak attack, fearing that she, a Taoist with great magic power, would be shot to death by someone using a hidden arrow.
Song You is not the 99% one, so he should thank her.
After a while——
Accompanied by a cry of begging for mercy, Wu Nuxia came back dragging a strong man with arms thicker than his legs. She threw the strong man at his feet and then replied:
"You're welcome."
Song You looked at the strong man on the ground and asked with a smile: "Is he one of the five heroes of Angzhou?"
"Yes Yes……"
"It turns out that there are six of the Five Heroes in Angzhou." Song You nodded and said, "A few of them have clever ideas."
"Master Dao, have mercy on me!"
"That arrow from my step went straight to my heart. How can I forgive my step?"
"Master Tao, have mercy on me! Oh, yes! The leg that the villain aimed at! Meow's leg! It's all because of the villain's poor archery skills!" The strong man said and kowtowed repeatedly, "Master Tao, please have mercy on me, Master Tao, please have mercy on me..."
"Wonderful."
"Everything the villain said is true! Master Dao, please spare my life!"
"I don't like killing people. I just ask you one question. If the answer is right, I will go around you." Song You said, "If the answer is wrong, I will give you one for one. Please return to heaven and earth."
"Master Dao, have mercy on me!"
"Just answer it correctly."
"..."
"Have you ever killed anyone with one step?" Song You paused and then added, "Innocent people."
The strong man was shocked, but he hurriedly kowtowed more diligently, and replied: "Master Dao knows it well, villains can only do sneaky things and embarrass others. I have never killed innocent people... But I met someone on the roadside once.
When the bandits refused to let us go, they fought hard and killed a few of them, but if we didn't kill them, we would be the ones who would die."
"Have you ever lied?"
"Every word is true! Every word is true!"
"Keep your head up."
"..."
The strong man raised his head in panic and looked at the Taoist.
As soon as their eyes met, they were shocked.
That gaze is as calm as water and as broad as the sea.
"Ever killed an innocent person?"
The Taoist asked again, but his voice remained the same.
The heart of the strong man also seemed to have an extra sea. It was calm at first, but soon there were waves. The small ones were waves, the big ones were ripples, and there were thousands of them, large and small, and each one splashed with water, big or small.
Xiaodu's question from the Taoist made him stunned and unable to tell lies.
"Killed..."
"How many?"
"Two...three..."
"Canopy..."
A burst of fire swept over him from the inside out.
"ah……"
Screams suddenly sounded.
The girl was very close to him and felt strange. There was fire but she didn't feel hot. She couldn't help but cautiously reached out to touch it, but couldn't touch anything. When she wanted to look again, she was pulled to her side by the Taoist and blindfolded.
But the fire was real, burning the strong man until he was rolling on the ground, screaming in pain.
