Chapter 64 What was brought down

Zuo Chen walked to his altar, kicked away the wood chips scattered on the ground, found a clean and flat piece of wood, lifted his clothes and sat on it, propping up his chin and looking at the half-dead scholar in front of him.

The scholar also raised his eyes and looked at Zuo Chen.

There were many complex emotions in those eyes.

It’s hard to say that I was surprised, but more of a bewilderment.

"You said my methods are similar to those of the imperial master. Have you seen him?"

The scholar was silent for a few seconds and swallowed his saliva:
"If I tell the truth, can I survive?"

"No." Zuo Chen shook his head. "I have been walking all the way to Xuzhou. Every time I come across a wasteland, a bastard will jump out of it. These bastards are all unforgettable. I traced it down and found that there is a big bastard above these small bastards.

"That big bastard is you."

Scholar: "..."

The words stuck in his throat for a long time: "This statement is very fresh... quite appropriate."

Ask again:

"Then can you give me a quickie?"

"I don't have the habit of chopping off your hands or skinning you, nor will I use your soul to practice any sneaky magic. If I let you die, I will just chop off your head. If you're lucky, who knows, someone might even collect your body."

After hearing what Zuo Chen said, the scholar seemed to be relieved:

"You are a rare good person."

Zuo Chen: “…”

Well, in this world, if you don’t desecrate the corpse after killing someone, you are considered a good person.

"I have one last question. If you can answer it, I will tell you everything I know."

"Ask." Zuo Chen said.

"...You have the ability of a capital master, so you should be able to see merits and karmic debts. Do I have a lot of karmic debts?"

After hearing what the scholar said, Zuo Chen's expression turned a little strange:
"I've already told you that you're a top bastard. Do you think you have a lot of karmic debt? If you were a person of great merit, I wouldn't have killed you. Killing you would only ruin my merit."

"Hehe..." The scholar seemed to have known this for a long time. He closed his eyes, lowered his head for a while, and said:
"Master, what do you want to ask?"

"I wanted to ask you what exactly Wu Xiangwang does. Previously, a ghostwriter gave me trouble. After I solved it, he said that you led something down from the sky. I wanted to ask all these. But you seem to have seen Jingshi. I am more curious. Tell me about him first."

"I've never actually seen Jingshi, but our great leader told us about him." The scholar said, "His breath can warm three months. You are exactly like him, and you are ridiculously strong. So I guess you are related to him. But that's all I know about him. Jingshi has been missing for almost sixty years, and I'm not even that old, how could I possibly know him?"

The old Taoist priest who had lost his head before couldn’t help but pop up in Zuo Chen’s mind.

It’s a pity that the man is dead and can’t die anymore. He even has no soul left, so naturally there is no way to go back and ask him for advice.

"Let's talk about not forgetting each other."

When the scholar heard this, he fell silent.

"What? You don't want to say it?"

"Not really." The scholar shook his head. "I don't understand most of the things. I only know that Wu Xiangwang is a sect that was passed down a long time ago. Its main purpose is to save the world and protect the country. There is a great leader above, and most of the planning is done by him."

"You? Save the world?"

Zuo Chen couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The corners of the scholar's mouth twitched slightly.

"I remembered something happy." Zuo Chen waved his hand: "Go on."

The scholar was a little angry, but he continued: "If you want to ask me why I came to Xuzhou and why I want to make this place barren, I can only tell you that we received such an order. The Great Master never tells his subordinates why they should do something, but only tells them what to do. Even though I have a high position in Wu Xiangwang, it is still the same.

"I can also talk to you about other hidden sects."

"Tell me." Zuo Chen was interested. "Besides us, there are several other sects that roam around in the Beggar Gang. There is a group called Little Joy that only does things for their own pleasure. They go wherever there is fun. They are very mean.

"Further north from Youzhou, there is a group of people called the Gatekeepers. They are mysterious and no one knows what they are guarding. They rarely show up in the martial arts world.

"There is a library in Kyoto, which is built by a group of scholars and aristocratic families. It is considered the most conspicuous sect in public, but its methods are not very bright and beautiful. It likes to do dirty work behind the scenes.

"As for the others, there are too many idle and miscellaneous sects, and the various strange ones are countless, but I'm afraid none of them will catch your eye. There is only one special group of tomb raiders who claim to have returned home. They are strange and capable, and they are suspected to have inherited the capital's inheritance, but they are hard to find."

"What was that wooden sign in your arms?" Zuo Chen thought about it and felt that this thing left the deepest impression on him during the fight with the scholar just now, so he asked.

"That is a treasure bestowed upon me by the Great Master. Forget about it. It has been used up."

After saying that, shut up and don't say anything else.

Zuo Chen raised his eyebrows, finding it interesting.

On the surface, it's a feudal lord structure, but in private, there are so many strange and bizarre ways going on.

I'm afraid most people won't be able to get this information.

It turns out that this "Master" is a treasure.

Zuo Chen's eyes turned kind as he looked at the scholar, as if he was looking at an amiable dead person.

The scholar got goosebumps when he was stared at.

Seeing that his life was running out, the scholar seemed to have thought of something and suddenly laughed:

"Has the ghostwriter told you, Taoist priest, about the matter of me bringing down the 'Tao'?"

"said."

The scholar's expression became strange, as if he was gloating over something else:

“Master, our Great Leader said that the practice of the Capital Master is the Law of Merit. We cannot kill innocent people indiscriminately, nor can we go against the Way of Heaven. Otherwise, our merit will be damaged and our strength will be greatly reduced.

"When I came to Xuzhou, the great leader gave me several special wooden tablets and asked me to go to the central part of Xuzhou to perform rituals. I placed several wooden tablets according to the eight trigrams and lit the seven-star lamp, and then something fell from the sky.

“That’s a large piece of meat, not in human or animal form, but it can consume the spiritual energy of the entire Xuzhou state!

"The most important thing is that this thing is full of merits and virtues, it is the agency of heaven!
"Our great sect is in charge of this thing called: Great Desolation!"

Seeing that Zuo Chen was silent, the scholar chuckled twice, "Master Taoist, if you want to save Xuzhou and gain such a great merit, you must confront the Taoist. I know you are very capable, and if you start a ritual, a piece of meat probably won't be your opponent. But even if you really kill him, not only will you not gain merit, but you will lose a lot!

"Because that is the way of heaven and earth, it is the will of God! God made this Xuzhou a wasteland! Taoist priest, do you have any plans to go against the will of heaven?"

Listening to the scholar's words, the comfortable smile on Zuo Chen's face slowly disappeared, and his eyes became gloomy.

"Master, I used to be weak, but after entering Wuxiangwang, I learned a lot of skills and became stronger. Therefore, I respect the strong the most. You can easily defeat me. Even if you want to kill me next, I still think you are very capable. You are right, and I deserve it." The scholar said with a sincere tone: "I respect you, so I advise you not to get involved in this mess. Leave as soon as you save these people. This God is so bad, and this beam is so rotten. The world is not worth your effort."

His tone was genuinely sincere.

"But my heart is not satisfied." Zuo Chen suddenly said, interrupting the scholar.

He lowered his eyes to look at the scholar and said:

"Look at the Xuzhou wilderness. My heart is not at peace. If my heart is not at peace, my cultivation will not be smooth. I will definitely go and take a look at the thing you brought down. As for you..."

Zuo Chen put his hand on his head: "I have already promised you this, I will give you a quick death."

The scholar was still thinking about saying something, but finally closed his eyes.

He only felt a slight numbness on the top of his head, and then he lost all consciousness.

Zuo Chen also withdrew his hand, but his mind couldn't help but recall what the scholar had just said.

A large piece of meat is the "Tao"?
The world is in chaos, and the laws of nature are also in chaos?
