Chapter 628: Looking at the Tide

Foreword:

I don’t know that locusts are all over the world, causing all the suffering of the people and the kings and ministers.

——Zhang Xianzhong

[Part①·Please fight]

A long time ago, Jiang Xueming talked about his senior brother Qiu Xing in front of his teacher, saying that A Xing was not very smart.

David Victor and Xueming said this -

——Being smart is not a good thing, because it is not wisdom.

Xueming and Liuxing were only 23 or 24 years old at the time. Together, the two brothers couldn't think of anything clever, and they couldn't figure out the inner meanings of "smart" and "wisdom."

Is there any difference between them? Why talk about it separately?

It seems that it is obviously the same thing, but it is forced to be divided into two categories.

Until later, A Ming met more and more people, and the things he had to deal with became more and more complicated.

He finally knew that Meteor did have a kind of intelligence——

——This senior brother, who is much younger than himself, can always see clearly the relationship between the enemy and ourselves at a glance when faced with the complex and changeable interpersonal structure and the devil who is good at disguising.

A flexible mind can give birth to many useless worries, it is like a self-approved overtime mechanism.

There is no boss to urge us, and no performance indicators to tell us what to think and do. But the brain can't stop and can't achieve a completely calm state. When others say something, it has to be thought about three times. This is exactly what Teacher Victor said - being smart is not a good thing.

People who are addicted to this kind of brain game are smooth and polite in their dealings with others, and make people feel comfortable and greasy in every aspect. If they have been immersed in this way for many years, they can also use their superb skills to collect the juice and remove the greasiness - so as not to look at them. Let people distinguish it.

For this reason, Xueming prepared many personal masks for herself in order to separate work and life. The two names Gunsmith and Jiang Xueming were stripped off, and the same was done to the later "Zhang Congfeng".

But Teacher Victor still told Xueming——

——Your acting skills are terrible.

Xueming suddenly realized what she was doing when she saw Teacher David dressed in a red skirt.

It turns out that acting is not a meal provided by God or a parody, but an "experience" behavior that consumes all the energy of the body and mind.

He is reviewing the first half of "Zhang Congfeng's" life all the time, just like a borrowed vest that never fits, so he tries to lose weight and gain muscle, endure the pain of broken bones and gain height, change himself, and let himself become this person completely .

After all this hard work and practice, I finally saw the results.

Empress Zhuzhu believed deeply in the words of the imperial doctor. The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord picked off Dan Chenzi's head and accepted the magic weapon of his life - these two gifts made them even more "hungry", just like the warmth before the banquet. The stomach soup is a delicious appetizer.

Since Zhang Congfeng has this ability, he can handle the important matter of pregnancy and childbirth ordered by Lingguang Buddha. So why should the Buddha carver share the credit for the immortal fetus and the great cause of alchemy?

Zhuzhu is the one who suffers, and Baimu is the one who works hard.

Without the middleman to earn the price difference, the couple no longer have to be slaves or meat dogs. Coupled with Baimu's desire for a surge in spiritual power after getting the magic weapon.

All of this became the trigger for the subsequent series of explosions. After the snacks were finished, where could there be no main course?

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord would also become suspicious after taking back the magic weapon, but he lost himself in the blending of interests and the sweet words of "husband".

It wants to kill the Buddha carver, just like Dan Chenzi will kill Baimu. This power pyramid built in the feudal era can only have a chance to climb up if one or two bricks are removed and one or two powerful people are brought down.

This is just like the land of Xia Bang where warlords are everywhere. If you don't burn, kill and loot, the land will always belong to others. If you focus on farming, you will suffer and be exploited for generations.

The conversation between the three people in the Alchemy Furnace Room was short and monotonous, and they finished the matter in just a few sentences.

Within three days, Baimou will lead all the demons from Black Wind Village down the mountain and find the Buddhist carving master to question the crime——

——This question of guilt is the strategy proposed by Jiang Xueming.

"King Baimu, when you attack the Buddha carver this time, you must attack him unprepared."

Bai Mu asked in surprise: "Doctor still know the art of war?"

"Little friend Wu Xiuwen knows me very well. I work as an imperial physician in the Nine Realms. Not only do I treat the emperor, but I also go to the general's mansion to treat the wounds of many soldiers." Jiang Xueming told the truth: "I also have some theoretical knowledge on paper, not much, but enough. use."

Baimu: "How to kill him?"

"You were looking for a reason to raise an army. You cruelly broke off one of Lady Zhuzhu's arms as evidence. It was blown by the poisonous miasma in the Black Wind Ridge. In just half an hour, it turned into a piece of red and rotten flesh."

"When you arrived in front of the Buddhist sculptor, you scolded him for being unkind and unjust. You invited a quack doctor to help your mother to have a baby, which ruined everything."

"The Buddha carver must be frightened. He loses his mind. This is the perfect opportunity."

The more Bai Mu listened, the more sense it made, but he was reluctant to part with his wife's arm and did not agree immediately.

Empress Zhuzhu didn't care at all, it was just a walking limb with a fairy fetus in its belly, and its self-healing ability was extremely strong. I’m not afraid of these “flesh wounds” at all——

"——It makes some sense, go on."

Jiang Xueming: "If the Buddhist sculptor doesn't believe it, take him up the mountain and ask him to meet Zhuzhu Empress in person. Set up an ambush halfway. The dangerous mountains, rivers and complex terrain of Heifeng Ridge are your advantage."

The more Bai Mu listened, the more energetic he became, and there were words in his mouth.

"Yes, even if I see the sunshine in the town, I don't dare to fight against the Buddhist carving master. If he leaves the town, he will not have the magic weapon of Guanyin Bodhisattva with him. When he goes to the mountains, he will never be my opponent."

Jiang Xueming continued: "If one arm is not enough, you can use my head."

Empress Zhuzhu immediately screamed: "No way! Noble! What nonsense are you talking about!"

"The skinned treasure tree is in Jinxu's hands." Jiang Xueming casually told a poisonous plan: "This treasure can transform into human skin. If you find any head, even a dead person's head, it can be made into my appearance. Take it with you." Asking for guilt means that the Buddha sculptor will be riddled with demons, and he will lose his ability to fight if he feels guilty. "

Bai Mu: "If the Buddhist carver looks carefully, he will see something fishy."

"In front of a Buddhist carver, you skinned and deboned the head of a quack like me, ate the flesh raw, bit the skull into pieces and gnawed out the brain. How could he take a closer look?" Jiang Xueming explained.

Bai Mu was still worried: "What if he told Lingguang Buddha about this?"

Jiang Xueming: "That's a great thing."

For the sake of Black Wind Town, it would be great if Judas could personally go to the grassroots level to inspect the production of alchemy furnaces. There is no need for Jiang Xueming to search hard everywhere.

But he can't say that -

"——The doctor was hired by the Buddhist sculptor. If he can't handle this, Lingguang Buddha won't be able to blame you. The one who will be scolded will be the Buddha sculptor. I'm afraid he won't dare to report it to Lingguang Buddha."

After analyzing it like this, the more Bai Mu listened, the more it made sense.

However, Empress Zhuzhu kept an extra eye on her. This old witch was much smarter than her husband, and she gradually became suspicious of the imperial doctor.

"Mr. Zhang, you are so kind and virtuous."

"Fairy Zhuzhu, after everything is done, I have something else to ask for." Jiang Xueming winked at the spider monster——

——Bai Mu was still immersed in his dream and did not notice this matter.

But this little wink, to Empress Zhuzhu, seemed like the promise whispered before was about to be fulfilled, so she began to daydream, maybe this Black Wind Ridge does not need a hundred-eyed devil or a Buddha statue. Master, just Guanyin Bodhisattva and Zhang Guiren are enough.

As mentioned above, intelligence does not mean wisdom.

Wu Xiuwen is one of the representatives. This kid wore Jin Xu's skin and was tortured by Zhuzhu and Baimu's spiritual pressure. I waited outside Guanyin Cave for a long time.

For him, waiting was torture.

All the thoughts were flying in his mind. Without the backbone of the team, he started to think blindly.

With the barking tree in my arms, why not find an excuse to sneak down the mountain, leave the Zhao brothers and Guan Xiangxiang behind, and let the birds fly from now on, becoming a free body - with a magic weapon by my side, I will no longer be afraid of monsters chasing me. The noble man's true biography, slowly understand the mystery of "Knight Combat Skills".

But when he thought of the dangerous environment around Heifeng Ridge, he was heartbroken and did not dare to go down the mountain alone. So he looked at Jianying Jianxiong - the smart boy started talking about crooked ideas.

"Eccentric."

In front of the gatekeeper demon, Wu Xiuwen put on an official tone and acted as the master.

"Two immortals, follow me."

The Zhao brothers were stunned for a moment——

——They couldn’t understand what Wu Xiuwen was thinking. Maybe it was Zhang Guiren’s arrangement?

So the Zhao brothers followed them stupidly, one person picked up the luggage, the other grabbed Guan Xiangxiang, and walked along the way they came.

After walking out of Guanyin Cave, walking to Baimu Cave, and then walking out of Yuehe Pass, Wu Xiuwen was panicked. The little monsters and monsters who came to ask questions at checkpoints along the way were all respectful, and these mountain patrols were also curious - why Guan Xiangxiang also needs to take this piece of meat down the mountain.

Wu Xiuwen forced himself to calm down and responded casually: "Is it your turn to ask about my lord's matters?"

The little demons immediately dispersed and stopped talking about this matter.

Until they completely walked out of the scope of the Earth Temple, they saw Black Wind Town getting closer and closer.

[Part②·Cleverness leads to mistakes]

With no one around, the Zhao brothers finally came to their senses——

"——Wu Xiuwen! What are you going to do?"

Zhao Jianxiong shouted loudly.

"Where are you taking us?"

Wu Xiuwen immediately took off his human skin, and saw a skinny, listless man emerging from Jin Xu's dwarf body, revealing his true form.

"Junior brother, Master wants to do big things. If we stay in Heifeng Village, we will die without any chance of survival."

Zhao Jianxiong immediately argued: "You didn't say a word? Master didn't know we were coming down the mountain, so he left without saying goodbye?! Isn't this harming him?!"

"We followed Zhang Guiren up the mountain to carry his burdens and help him trick others. This kindness has been repaid." Wu Xiuwen explained casually: "Think about it carefully, the two grandfathers of the Zhao family. Gods and monsters have to fight. They have to fight with each other." If you breathe, ordinary people like us will be in pain. If they wave their hands, ordinary people like us will die. I am helping Master by taking you to hide!"

"If the brothers become hostages, the human skin will not be saved. This is what harms the master!"

Wu Xiuwen persuaded him earnestly.

"Why don't you just divide your luggage, go around Heifeng Town, go back to Guandao and go to Taiye, then I will go back to my Zhuzhou City. If the two grandfathers of the Zhao family want to be land security guards, I will kneel in front of my godfather and beg him to go and make trouble. ——It’s not difficult.”

When Guan Xiangxiang heard that there was such a good thing, she immediately put her hand around Jianying's neck and kissed her face.

"Hero! Hero, take me back? Hero?!"

The prostitutes know their priorities. To convince Zhao Jianxiong, they have to grasp Zhao Jianying's lifeblood.

In the rules of respect between elder and younger, the younger brother must listen to the older brother.

Zhao Jianying wanted to push the beauty, but his hands were very honest. When he smelled the powdery smell on the woman's body, he immediately lost his mind.

"Second child"

Jianxiong's eyes were splitting, and he cursed loudly with anger: "Do you listen to me? Are you going to ask me? Who are you asking? Is it your dick or me?"

Seeing that the two brothers were about to fight, Zhao Jianxiong tried to pull Guan Xiangxiang away from his eldest brother, but the eldest brother protected the weak woman and refused to give in.

Wu Xiuwen didn't give up, so he would tear off the weird skin and flesh, and then use the peeling tree to force the two of them to obey.

But nothing in the world is that easy——

——The hardest thing to do is to make people obey.

When the three of them all returned to their normal size and became their original appearance, the Zhao brothers turned back into village savages, Guan Xiangxiang's sleeves were torn to pieces, everyone was red-eyed, and they still couldn't talk about it.

"If you want to go down the mountain safely and return to Heifeng Town, you can only rely on the magic weapon in my hand to pass the Buddha carving master level." Wu Xiuwen threatened: "Zhao Jianxiong! I call you grandpa and ask you to keep me safe. Call me. When you call me junior brother, you are taking care of Master's kindness. "

Jianxiong fought with his eldest brother, and his face was stained again. He was so angry that he suddenly started crying - feeling sad.

He remembered his master treating his injuries, and also recalled that when he was young, he went out to have fun, run in the fields, catch rabbits and foxes, and if he hurt himself, his parents would apply medicine to him in the same way.

Now he has no father or mother, no more.

Who killed his parents? Is it this bitch? Is it a monster?

The eldest brother used to dote on him and love him, so he couldn't let him suffer any injustice.

At this moment, is the eldest brother right to be angry with him over a woman?

No, no, the eldest brother just wants to live. He doesn’t dare to say it, so he can only use Guan Xiangxiang’s mouth to express what’s in his heart——

"——Master!"

Jianxiong howled loudly and shouted in the direction of Black Wind Village.

Wu Xiuwen was panicked and cursed quickly: "Beast! What are you shouting for? Are you going to call the monster here?!"

Jianxiong shed tears and knelt down towards the Sifang Earth Temple.

"Master! Master!!!"

He kowtowed nine times.

"I don't want to harm you! I don't want to harm you! Master!"

Wu Xiuwen was also moved, and only then did he understand what Jianxiong meant.

This move pushed Zhang Congfeng into the fire pit. If King Baimu asked where Jin Xu was, Zhang Guiren could not answer or explain why. The Buddhist sculptor went to Mu's manor to search again. When the two demons met, everything was clear. .

Jianxiong's forehead was bleeding, and his face was red.

Wu Xiuwen finally felt relieved - this boy was full of resentment and anger and would never go against him again.

So he took out the whirling peeling tree and wanted to change the appearance of a few people and make them look like ordinary people, so as to avoid the interrogation of the priests and elders in Black Wind Town.

But as soon as the glazed tree was taken out and struck on Zhao Jianying's body, it immediately shattered into pieces and no longer had the tenacity of the soft rattan that could beat the skin.

"What's going on!" Wu Xiuwen was extremely surprised and looked at the glass handle in his hand: "How is that possible!"

Everyone stared at the treasure tree, wondering what kind of magic weapon it was. It was clearly layered glass made from sand.

"Zhang Congfeng! Did you lie to me?!"

Wu Xiuwen's eyes were bloodshot, and he was in a dilemma for a moment. If he wanted to go down the mountain, he would definitely not be able to hide from the Buddha carver.

But if you want to go up the mountain, how can you pass the Moon Pass without a human skin mask?

"There is something in the tree!" Zhao Jianying reminded immediately with sharp eyes.

Wu Xiuwen seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and pulled a piece of cloth from the glass stick, which was also Guan Xiangxiang's handkerchief.

Miss Xiangxiang's beauty turned pale. She never imagined that her personal belongings could be stolen by Zhang Guiren.

The handkerchief said -

"——Traitor! I know you are dishonest!"

Only this sentence.

Wu Xiuwen was surprised, happy, angry and scared.

Zhao Jianying asked quickly: "What did Zhang Guiren say?"

Although Jiang Xueming did not leave any useful information, Wu Xiuwen was very happy. Although the Five Elements Mountain was everywhere, Master still called him a "traitor" and did not call him a "traitor", nor did he ignore him.

Going down the mountain is definitely not possible, let alone going up the mountain. Then follow Zhang Guiren's wishes, sleep in the wilderness to survive, and find a way to survive in the wilderness.

"I hope my two grandfathers can save my life."

Wu Xiuwen was honest and began to calculate the food and fairy honey for his luggage. He could probably last for two days.

"Continue to sleep in the open air around Heifeng Ridge, waiting for the good news from Master."

Jianxiong couldn't understand, so he grabbed the handkerchief and took a look: "Hahahaha! Good scolding!"

Wu Xiuwen muttered: "Junior brother, your future is uncertain, why are you still happy?"

"No reason!" Jianxiong's mind was very simple: "Seeing you deflated! I am happy!"

After a while, a few people found a leeward slope, and the poisonous miasma was not so violent.

Jianxiong then remembered that he wanted to ask Zhang Guiren about his arrangements.

"Wu Xiuwen, since master is capable of stealing the magic weapon, why would he leave a fake one for you?"

Speaking of this matter, Xiuwen was in mourning.

"He's a naughty old man. Without this magic weapon, I wouldn't dare to take you to escape -"

"——If you have evil thoughts in your heart, there will be retribution. However, Master is reluctant to let us die. He knows that the mountains are dangerous and wants us to hide. He will look for us again when the disaster is over."

Jianxiong understood what he said, and he found an empty rock platform on the top of the mountain and knelt down to kowtow.

Wu Xiuwen smiled and said, "Just kowtow! He is not in front of you! Why are you kowtow? He won't even know if his head is cracked!"

Jianxiong cursed, "You bastard who betrays your teacher and ancestors! I kowtow! What's your business!"

Wu Xiuwen was insulted, but he didn't say anything back.

He felt ashamed and angry, and from time to time there were a few crows screaming in the mountains.

In the distance, Zhao Jianying could be seen walking down the short slope, trying to see the terrain and catch a few fish from the stream, but the fish were also cursed by the poisonous miasma and became extremely ferocious. If they were swallowed, they might be infected with plague and strange diseases.

After Wu Xiuwen came to Heifeng Town, he didn't take a closer look at the lives of ordinary people.

Along the way, he followed Concubine Zhang to visit gods and monsters, and walked all over the Black Wind Town. The people in the town seemed to be in good health, but as long as they dared to leave the town, they would be cursed by evil and poison.

Escape? Where can you escape to?

Escape from Black Wind Ridge, there is still the Great Southeast, escape from the Great Southeast, there are still the Tonghe countries.

When you arrive at someone else's territory, you will also be cursed and worship the Buddha.

The tide rises and falls, and human life is like the sea water, with waves rising one after another. If you hit the shore, you will be crushed to pieces and become medicinal materials in the alchemy furnace.

When I leave, am I not eating the flesh and blood of my mentor?

Think about it, you wanted to take Yuzhen to Zhuzhou at first, to seek a fairy fate and cultivate merits.

If there was no Concubine Zhang, Zhuzhou City would also become a purgatory on earth, a demon city where people are neither human nor ghost, but it has built a bigger cage.

Wu Xiuwen, Wu Xiuwen

If Master didn't have the ability to steal this precious tree.

Are you still a human being? !
