This monk is not serious

The two walked aimlessly, not knowing where they were going.The land at his feet is gradually turning yellow and dry, and the vegetation on the road is getting less and less. Jiang Ze has been a little reticent since Qiao Ji's incident. After all, Qiao Ji's incident is largely due to his own cultivation. If it is Du Xuanzhi's realm, there must be no problem.

Jiang Ze drank the Shili Zui in the wine gourd in one gulp. They had been walking aimlessly like this for many days, and he began to wonder if he had come to the desert. A layer of sand can be raised.I don't know how long it took to see a stone tablet - Chu State. This stone tablet looks like it has been carefully trimmed, and there are even some magic blessings on it. It seems that this is the border of Chu State.

The state of Chu is where they are now. They used to go further and further away, but why is there no one on this frontier?No matter how powerful the state of Chu is, it cannot be so arrogant. Besides, after the war just now, I don’t know if there are still small countries waiting for an opportunity to enter, and I don’t know what the newly appointed king of Chu thinks. The prince at that time is so arrogant now. , it is better not to save.

There was no one on the way, but there were a few yapping crows circling in the sky, and even some vultures perched on the old branches to stare at the living two.Jiang Ze couldn't help frowning and said, "Do you think this is the way it is after the war? The people are in dire straits."

"Yes." Dongmen Qing has the right to speak. Back then, he led most of the demon clan to wipe out the enemy, but the enemy used to be one of his own, and the enemy even colluded with some monks and Taoist priests to invite them to recruit some fierce ghosts, so the two sides In the end, both parties will lose out if they are responsible for their strength.And monsters also have souls, but this kind of soul can only be seen by monster clans and people with yin and yang eyes.

"The war in Chu State has just ended, and the emperor has not had time to deal with the border affairs." Dongmen Qing said again, in his heart, the image of the emperor Huo Yan is still good.

Jiang Ze didn't speak, but was curious why Dongmen Qing would speak up for this weak prince. The prince he saw at that time was as thin as a stick. I really don't know what would happen if this kind of person came to an ordinary family. Maybe he would have died long ago.

At this time, Jiang Ze saw a blurred figure in the distance. His yin and yang eyes are much stronger than ordinary people, but he can't distinguish between people and ghosts. Ghosts are made of human souls. The appearance is the same as that of the soul. The previous Qiao Ji obviously messed up her image on purpose to make others feel scared. This is also a self-defense method commonly used by ghosts.

When Jiang Ze walked towards the figure, he found that it had disappeared, like a mirage in the desert, but it was not a mirage but a fact. When Jiang Ze turned his head suddenly, he saw a face with Chinese characters, his eyes were upright, and his skin was A man in armor who was dark because of the sun and rain.Jiang Ze felt a little familiar with this person, and vaguely remembered that he was also there when Du Xuanzhi treated the emperor, so he must have a high status, but this armor had already betrayed his identity.

Jiang Ze thought that Dongmen Qing would not know about it, but Dongmen Qing said to the ghost with a serious expression, "What are you still doing here?"

Jiang Ze instantly understood that this was the soul of the Yaozu, and he just quietly listened to the conversation between the two.

"Sima Yun is helpless, he has died for state affairs." Sima Yun now looked respectful, bowed slightly, looked at the ground, and turned his head slightly down.

It's just that Dongmen Qing didn't ask any more questions, just nodded silently, then turned around and stopped looking at Sima Yun.Jiang Ze smiled lightly, patted Dongmen Qing on the shoulder and said, "Brother Dongmen, he is a ghost now, are you still so angry?"

"No." Dongmen Qing turned slightly to let Jiang Ze's hand drop. Jiang Ze smiled awkwardly, and turned to look at Sima Yun sympathetically.

Sima Yun looked like a veteran who had experienced many battles, his skin was as dry and cracked as a tree, his skin was bronze in color, and his exposed muscles were very strong and strong, but I don't know why this monster still has any concerns?Now the Yaozu has long been torn apart, and those who should have been scattered have long since dispersed.And this general never announced his identity, after all, he was a mysterious person who was loyal to the country. Finally, I heard that Huo Yan even organized a funeral for General Sima, second only to the national funeral, so it is said that this life has no regrets.

"I don't know why General Sima insists on staying in the world?" Jiang Ze raised his eyebrows and said, looking at this respected martyr. Contradictions between people need to be solved by people.

Sima Yun's face is very gentle, he looks like a big brother who treats his younger brother, and his tone is also very gentle. I don't know what it is like for such a person to fight on the battlefield?He said slowly: "I really can't worry about the little emperor who just took office. I watched him grow up. When he was a child, he was skinny. Although he is very different now, I can't let go of this mentality."

At this time, Dongmen Qing sneered, and Sima Yun immediately lowered his head, while Jiang Ze coldly stopped Dongmen Qing's powerless behavior.Jiang Ze said with a smile: "Since this is the case, you will no longer be able to serve the country with this appearance. You might as well rest in peace earlier."

Sima Yun smiled softly and said: "I heard that the emperor is looking for a man named Du Xuanzhi recently, so I can help him watch out for him in the frontier."

Du Xuanzhi, Jiang Ze frowned, what is this Huo Yan going to do?He was cured back then, and now he has come to look for Du Xuanzhi when he grows up. I don’t know why although Jiang Ze has no grievances with Huo Yan, he hates seeing such a cowardly and pampered look, and Huo Yan was a child. like this.Now that Du Xuanzhi has passed away long ago, the news should have spread. If he really cared about him, how could he not know about it?What a hypocrisy.

Jiang Ze said angrily; "Why are you looking for him? That person has passed away long ago."

Sima Yun was stunned, and Jiang Ze regretted it. Why did he talk too much? But Sima Yun didn't get angry at his unreasonableness, but just stroked Jiang Ze's hair and said, "I know, I just want to keep this lie, because I don't have any The reason goes on."

His big rough hands are very warm. Unlike Du Xuanzhi's white and tender hands, this kind of hands that have experienced wind and rain always makes people feel at ease. His calluses are obvious. Although there is no pain on the hands, the fingers are already There are traces like cracks in the bark.Sima Yun's words made Jiang Ze's heart ache, but he didn't know what words to use to comfort him.

"Little monk, I beg you for one thing." Sima Yun's voice broke away from the heaviness just now, and his tone became cheerful, "I only hope that you can tell the emperor about this in person, but you must not make him sad."

Jiang Ze nodded. Although there are thousands of people who don't want it in his heart, it's just that this matter is a bit difficult to handle. Tell him personally?I can't even get through the gate of the palace, so don't let him grieve?I haven't changed people's moods yet, Jiang Ze complained in his heart.

Sima Yun smiled, and rubbed Jiang Ze's hair with his hands, with an expression of pampering and indulgence to the child, "Thank you, goodbye."

Before Jiang Ze could persuade him to stay, Sima Yun's hands, which were full of tactility just now, were only the weight of air. He had already stayed here for several months, because he had accumulated too many merits in this life, so he would not be wiped out. I wish him a good general in his next life.

At this time, Dongmen Qingcai was willing to turn his head to see Sima Yun's last side, feeling admiration and dissatisfaction in his heart, this kind of psychology is really too difficult to understand.

The two finally crossed the frontier and arrived in the mainland. The imperial city is still the same as it was a few years ago. Although the war has just ended, people are doing business with smiles on their faces. The streets are as lively as ever, and the imperial city can only be used To sum it up in one sentence - cars are like flowing water, horses are like dragons.Letting them cross half of the country just to spread a word is really embarrassing for them, but Jiang Ze found that the closer they are to the imperial city, the fewer monsters and ghosts will appear, and the imperial city does not have an enchantment made by a mage. Recently, it is Guotai Minan.

Recently, the two of them have been very leisurely. There will be no monsters or ghosts with inexplicable resentment on weekdays.The Imperial City is the most central location in the entire country, and it is also the most prosperous place. It has always advocated both civil and military skills, and has the sense of sight of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. As the most prosperous place, there are naturally some people who have drifted over the oceans to visit here. , so if you are lucky, you can see a few blond foreigners on the street.

Most people will pass the imperial examination system to take an official examination, but there are also many people like Fan Jinzhongju in "The Scholars" who go crazy when they are happy. There is always a good side and a bad side. Just try to keep your balance.Jiang Ze was very excited when he saw these candied haws sellers, candy makers, and candy blowers. The first thing he loved in his life was wine, and the second was sugar. When he was a child, Du Xuan always loved Do not buy him candy, because his tooth is rotten, even if Du Xuanzhi is reincarnated, there is no way for him to recover, but after Du Xuanzhi passed away, Jiang Ze did a lot of things that he didn't dare to do before—eating candy , Drinking, curing diseases, and catching monsters are almost omnipotent.

Now Jiang Ze is swaying around in front of the sugar shop again, holding a candied haws in his left hand and a small sugar figurine in his right hand, and if he can’t hold it in his hand, let Dongmen Qing take it. Dongmen Qing repeatedly stops him from eating candy, but they don’t agree Listen to what can be done.

Dongmen Qing frowned and said: "Don't eat so much sugar, be careful of rotten teeth." His hands are now surrounded by various sugar products.

Jiang Ze looked at the stern-looking Dongmen Qing, who still had a candied haws in his mouth, and laughed loudly, "Are you kidding me? I've been practicing medicine for many years, do you know more or I know more?"

Dongmen Qing was at a loss for words, and he couldn't reason with him, so he secretly used black magic to hook Jiang Ze's money bag, and laughed inwardly.
