Chapter 186: Hometown, Old Knowledge

Phew, Wang Zhe breathed a sigh of relief.

The injustice and anger in my chest were finally vented.

On this day, he killed many people,

There were too many records in "The Impermanence of Yin and Yang", and he didn't read them carefully, so he gained a lot, but he ignored most of them.

You can't kill all the evil people, but one less is enough.

Those who were rescued by him left one after another,

Wang Zhe stood alone on the top of the mountain, looking at the thick smoke.

The sky is still a little gloomy and has not become clearer because of the death of these bad guys.

Some evil people are dead, and some evil people are still alive and well.

Gone,

Finally, Wang Zhe also left Liangzhou and met up with Laifu and Tuanzi who were waiting in Jingzhou and continued eastbound, preparing to return to Yangzhou.

Go back to Guobei County and have a look.

Lanruo Temple,

Lao Hou,

Look at the people of the past,

Stay for a few days and then find a place to retreat.

Although the innate Qi of the five elements is integrated, it is only the beginning. This is like pushing a door open, opening a passage to another world for him.

There are still many exciting contents waiting for him to dig and explore.

Three days later, one sunset, a familiar small town appeared in front of us.

Small bridges, flowing water, people's houses, dead vines and old trees without crows, ancient roads with westerly winds, people and dogs, hawks but no dogs.

As the sun sets, the wanderer returns to his hometown.

The city is still the same city,

Wang Zhe took the dumplings into the familiar stone streets of the county. The familiar people and the few pedestrians on the streets looked very cold.

"Are you Wang Zhe?" A passerby stood beside him and asked tentatively.

"It's me, Shopkeeper Zhu." Wang Zhe said with a smile, recognizing the other person at a glance.

This man was the shopkeeper of a wine shop. In the early years, when Wang Zhe was still working as an errand in the city, he and Lao Hou often went to his shop to have wine and chat.

After returning from his hometown for many years, Wang Zhe is still the same as before.

The shopkeeper is much older, with a slightly hunched back, gray hair on his temples, and wrinkles on his face.

After seeing each other for a few years, it seemed like not seeing each other for more than ten years.

"It's really you. I haven't seen you for many years. Why don't you come to the shop and have a drink?" Lao Zhu invited him.

"OK."

Wang Zhe followed him into the wine shop where he usually went, and ordered a few side dishes and a pot of turbid wine.

Just like before, only now Lao Hou is gone.

"Where have you been all these years?"

"Yangzhou, Jingzhou, and many places in southern Yunnan."

"The world is so chaotic, you have to be careful when you are out there alone."

Alas, Wang Zhe responded.

It was just a casual reminder, but it also showed some friendship.

"Seeing that the county has become quite deserted?"

"There was a plague last year, and nearly a hundred people died, and some people moved away from Guobei County since then." Lao Zhu sighed.

"Plague, how can there be a plague?" Wang Zhe was very surprised when he heard this.

"It was said that there was an evil spirit spreading, but I don't know why it disappeared later, and many people died."

"Since then, our county has suddenly become a lot deserted, alas." Lao Zhu sighed.

"Where's Lao Hou? Do you come here often to have a drink?"

"Lao Hou is no longer in Guobei County and has gone to Kuaiji County."

"Kuiji, why did he go there and get promoted?"

"I have been promoted. I am so lucky. I don't know where I learned my skills. I was noticed by the adults in the county and went there."

"That's good." Wang Zhe said with a smile.

This is because the county seat has been moved to the city, and various resources will be better after all.

"Eat wine."

There were not many people in the wine shop, so Lao Zhu accompanied Wang Zhe to have wine and chat here. They talked about what happened in this small county in the past few years.

He only mentioned the plague but stopped talking about it because his wife also died in that plague.

Which family has given birth to a child, and whose child has a future...

As he spoke, Wang Zhe listened. What they talked about were trivial matters, but what they revealed was the friendship between people.

Wang Zhe hadn't chatted like this with anyone for a long time. Listening to Lao Zhu's chatter, the sky turned dark before he knew it.

"You've seen a lot of the world outside in the past few years, right?"

"I've met some people and experienced some things. It's not peaceful outside either."

Wang Zhe took a sip of the turbid wine. It was a little sour and astringent, but it tasted like his hometown.

If possible, Wang Zhe is willing to listen to Lao Zhu for a night.

"Oh, it's getting dark so quickly today." Lao Zhu sighed.

"Well, it's getting dark, it's time for you to close the stall, right?"

"No rush, no rush." ​​Lao Zhu waved his hand.

"Let's go, let's talk another day." Wang Zhe stood up and threw down a silver coin.

"More, too much." Lao Zhu was shocked when he saw it. Very few people in a small county would do such a big thing.

"The rest of those sauced meats will be put here first and will be returned later." Wang Zhe said.

"Hey, okay, okay." Lao Zhu nodded hurriedly after hearing this. After all, this is real money.

Wang Zhe smiled and patted his shoulder.

The magic power wrapped around his body and penetrated into his internal organs, dispersing and expelling all the disease and bad luck in his body.

"Let's go, you should rest early."

"Hey, walk slowly and come back tomorrow." Lao Zhu said with a smile.

After watching Wang Zhe go away, he packed up his shop and prepared to go overseas.

"Ah, what's going on today? I don't feel tired at all!" After a lot of work, Lao Zhu moved his shoulders.

Normally at this time I would feel physically tired and tired, but today I feel quite energetic and not as tired as before.

After leaving the wine shop, Wang Zhe took Laifu back to his old house.

He always carried the key to the old house with him. When he opened the courtyard door, some weeds had grown in the house.

The room was also covered with dust.

Plop la la, the dumpling fell on the roof,

Wang Zhe did not clean the house, but took out the very smooth deck chair and placed it in the yard. He lay on it and looked up at the night sky.

Laifu squatted aside.

Creaking, creaking, the lounge chair rocked gently,

"One year, another year, another year!"

The yard is still the same yard, the sky is still the same sky, and the people are still the same people, but their mentality is completely different.

In this way, Wang Zhe lay in this courtyard all night.

Early the next morning, he took Laifu out of the house and came to the county town. He walked slowly in the town along the route he used to patrol the streets.

The city is still half asleep,

Familiar streets, familiar shops, he had been to these places countless times before, in wind, rain, snow,

Day by day, over and over again,

As he walked, he came to the county government office, where he had worked for a long time.

The two stone lions in front of the door are a little mottled, but still the same.

As I walked, I came to another familiar place,

Chunxiao Tower,

A moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold,

There used to be orioles and swallows, emerald green and red, and a beautiful court lady, but now I don’t know where they have gone.

The past is the past after all and will never come again.

Slowly, people started to appear on the street, and people began to be busy and busy throughout the day.

Wang Zhe found a stall to have a light meal, and then left Guobei County with Laifu.

More than ten miles out of the city, we entered the mountains. Not long after we walked, we saw a temple.

Lanruo Temple,

went up the mountain,

Seeing Wang Zhe's arrival, Zen Master Guangyun was very happy.

"After a long separation, the benefactor's demeanor is even better than before."

"Master, the Dharma has improved a lot." Wang Zhe said with a smile, feeling that the Buddha nature in Guangyun was thicker than the last time we met.

A cup of tea, listening to Zen Master Guangyun’s sermons,

Wang Zhe talked about some of his experiences in the places he visited and the chaos in the world.

Before I knew it, it was morning,

After eating a vegetarian meal, Wang Zhe said goodbye and went down the mountain.

"Amitabha, senior brother, his cultivation has become more and more profound." Zen Master Guangyun said to himself.

The last time he saw Wang Zhe, he still had a vague feeling, like a mountain standing tall.

When I looked at it today, I felt that the other person looked ordinary, no different from ordinary people, but at the same time he looked like the vast and endless sea and the boundless sky.

Not knowing its vastness, not knowing its end,

Wang Zhe didn't look at the old locust tree in the back mountain. He no longer cared about that tree.

Even if it really becomes a monster, he can still conquer it. And from the looks of it, that old locust tree won't become a monster for a while.

After going down the mountain and on the way back to the city, Wang Zhe suddenly had a strange feeling. He always felt that something was going to happen.

He counted with his fingers and was slightly startled.

Hey,

Meeting an old friend in my hometown is a happy event. What a strange hexagram,

Now that his cultivation has reached this stage, he can't just calculate everything with just a few clicks.

"Laifu, I will meet an acquaintance today. Guess who I will meet?"

Woof, Laifu barked several times.

"I can't guess it, and I can't calculate it. It's just a happy event, so let's go and see it."

He slowly returned to the county town with Laifu,

At this time, there were more people in the city and there was a bit of fireworks.

Wang Zhe took Laifu and planned to buy some food to go home and cook for himself. It had been a long time since he had eaten mutton casserole.

While he was thinking, he suddenly smelled a special aroma, floating in the wind. It was faint, just like the smell of gardenias in bloom.

A carriage stopped not far away,

The driver driving the carriage had an expressionless face and squinted his eyes, as if he was asleep.

A hand reached out from the car, opened the car curtain first, and looked at a building not far away.

Chunxiao Tower,

Is it her?

Oiran!

Wang Zhe was slightly startled when he saw that person.

The disappeared person is back again. I can’t stay outside any longer and am ready to go back to my old business. This is impossible!

She had a special purpose when she came here last time. What is the purpose of coming here this time?

"Why do you want to come back here, Miss?"

"I just want to come back and have a look." Gu Nianqiu looked at the Chunxiao Tower where he once took him, thinking about the things that happened here.

Time flies, the past cannot be recalled,

Alas, a sigh.

"Is this the old friend shown in the hexagram?" Wang Zhe looked at the carriage.

He continued to move forward with Laifu, walking along the stone street.

Creaking, creaking, the carriage passed by and then drove away.

"Captain?" A woman's voice came from the carriage.

The curtain of the small window on the side was lifted, revealing a charming face.

"Miss Gu." Wang Zhe greeted with a smile.

“I didn’t expect to see an acquaintance here.”

Wang Zhe just smiled after hearing this.

After saying hello, the small curtain was lowered and the carriage continued to move forward.

"I've seen this before, what's there to be happy about?"

Wang Zhe went to the store to buy some mutton, and then returned to the old house after buying some more.

The casserole is still there, but it's covered in dust.

Wash it clean, prepare the meat, light a bonfire, and stew it.

After a while, I opened the pot and simmered it. The pot was bubbling, and the aroma of the mutton wafted out.

Laifu on the side stared straight at the mutton,

"Look at you, Virtue." Wang Zhe smiled and patted his head.

"It smells so good!" A voice suddenly came, and looking for the voice, a man was lying on the wall, just like before.

Zhuo Siwei,

He climbed over the wall at once and came to the yard. He went into the house and took a matza, a bowl and two kuaizi. He washed them and sat aside, and took out a jug of wine.

"I didn't expect you to come back again!"

"Why are you here?"

"I'm passing by on official business and stopped by to take a look."

Zhuo Siwei picked up a piece of mutton from the casserole, blew on it a few times, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Woo, hiss, um, it tastes delicious,

Wang Zhe picked up a few pieces of meat and put them in a bowl on the side, feeding them to Laifu and dumplings.

"Where have you been these days?"

"Many places, Jingzhou, Liangzhou, southern Yunnan."

"There are so many places to practice?"

"Um."

"What realm?"

"Well, it's not that high." Wang Zhe said with a smile.

"Don't be embarrassed, we are friends." Zhuo Siwei said sincerely. He could not feel a strong aura from Wang Zhe's body, just like an ordinary person.

After hearing this, Wang Zhe just smiled and waved his hands. Seeing that he didn't want to talk, Zhuo Siwei didn't ask again.

"How long will you stay here this time?"

"It won't take long, maybe I'll leave in a few days." Wang Zhe said matter-of-factly.

"Still leaving, where are you going?"

"I don't know. Find a quiet place, a mountain or an island, and stay quietly for some days."

"Well, that's good." Zhuo Siwei nodded after hearing this.

"Now, the world is so chaotic that it's not even peaceful!"

"Then you are still running around because of your promotion?"

"That's not true. It's really important." Zhuo Siwei took a breath and let out a long sigh of relief.

"By the way, I met someone when I came here. Guess who it is?"

"Oiran, Gu Nianqiu."

"Hey, you saw it too?"

"I saw it and passed by." Wang Zhe said with a smile.

"Do you know her identity?"

"Oiran, what else is your identity?"

"Of course she is not an oiran. Her identity is actually very unusual. Her mother is not a human being, but a fox demon from Qingqiu. Her status is very noble."

"Fox demon, what about her?"

"Half human and half demon."

"No wonder she is so beautiful, with an indescribable charm about her body." Wang Zhe said.

"He is getting married, to a marquis. She probably doesn't want to get married." Zhuo Siwei took a sip of wine.

Wang Zhe smiled when he heard this.

"Now that you have been promoted, you have more power, and you know more information. You can do some things, but you can't do some things."

"Well, why are you talking about this all of a sudden?" Zhuo Siwei was stunned after hearing this. He didn't expect Wang Zhe to suddenly say this to him.

"I traveled around the world this time and saw too many things along the way. The people were in dire straits and miserable. The world was in chaos. The world was in chaos. This was caused by Qi. Don't waste your time in this circle.

One’s own energy.”
