[Comprehensive] Famous Jianghu

The next day, Lou Jingmo and Wu Hua found a middle-aged man surnamed Pei in the white tent.

"My name is Pei Zhen. If you two don't mind calling me Uncle Pei, you can just call me Uncle Pei. This time I came to the Western Regions from Chang'an for two reasons." It was because he was entrusted by a friend to go to Sanmi Mountain to find the bones of his ancestors.

Because the Turks like to move around, and instead of a fixed capital, the royal court can be relocated at any time. Today, the Turkic royal court is based on Mount Sanmi.

Going west this time will definitely pass through the Turkic royal court, and this trip will travel along the Beihe River, passing through countries in the Western Regions such as Ruoqiang, Yanqi, Qiuci, etc., which is exactly the difference from Pei Zhen's desire to experience the countries of the Western Regions The wish of style.

"It's not easy to have too many people in a team. After all, the road to the west is often windy and sandy and the weather is harsh, so it is impossible to travel leisurely. There are a total of seven people traveling in the plan. In addition to the guards, there is still a shortage of a medically skilled person and a person who is proficient in Buddhism. Most of the countries in the Western Regions believe in Buddhist principles. I want to compile my experience on the journey to the West, but I still need a professional to correct it. If the two of you intend to join the team, please allow me to take the school exam."

The news about the recruitment of doctors and monks by the westward team was released for two or three days. There are not many monks and doctors in the Lop Nur area, but there are not many.

Lou Jingmo and Wuhua have no doubts about the school exam. Since Pei Zhen paid for the formation of the team, it is normal for him to want to check beforehand.

If you want to join the team as a doctor, you need to take the pulse of the five people including Pei Zhen, point out their old injuries and whether they can skillfully deal with common diseases after entering the desert.

This matter is not difficult. It took Lou Jingmo half an hour to consult all five of them, and by the way, he gave two of them injections to remove their past traumatic sequelae. She also gave Pei Zhen two prescriptions. The medicine for clearing fire and nourishing the body made him no longer embarrass the chrysanthemum because of the hot and dry climate.

Two hours later, Lou Jingmo was only a cup of soup away from finishing the farewell banquet for Yu Liang, and Wu Hua finally left Pei Zhen's tent and came back to the small courtyard.

"It is said in the history books that Pei Ju, who had gone through two dynasties, was a capable official who was proficient in strategic diplomacy. After that, Pei Ju's Buddhist teachings are as profound as Xuanzang's learning."

Wuhua talked with Pei Zhen about Buddhist principles in the tent for two hours, but he couldn't see that Pei Zhen had a slight suspicion of disguise.If one hadn't read the history books of the Sui and Tang Dynasties and knew that Pei Ju was hiding in the Western Regions to split the Turks after Yang Guang ascended the throne, it would be hard to tell that the person who discussed Buddhism with him in depth would be Pei Ju, even though they had already guessed that Pei Ju was not the real Pei Ju.

Perhaps this statement sounds a bit convoluted, so in short, the hexagram shows that the person who can bring the opportunity to return home is Pei Ju who will split the Turks, but it is very likely that someone is acting in the identity of Pei Ju.

The man himself is very proficient in Buddhism, and what he said is something that ordinary Buddhist amateurs seldom talk about.

"Principal Awakening, Beginning Awakening, Self-awareness, Ultimate Awakening, Pei Zhen talked about these by citing scriptures, and it can be confirmed that he practiced with eminent monks for a period of time."

Wu Hua thought about his debate with Pei Zhen. No wonder no monk passed Pei Zhen's assessment before. I am afraid that there are only a handful of people in the world who can argue with him. However, the Buddhist teachings did not have a completely positive impact on Pei Zhen. "Xiaoyan, have you checked Pei Zhen's pulse, how is he doing?"

Lou Jingmo listened to Wuhua's words and thought about Pei Zhen's pulse. Pei Zhen knew some superficial skills but was not energetic. He also had the common physical weakness that people in their middle age 40 years old used to. It seemed that his pulse had nothing to do with his identity. conform to.

"Middle-aged uncle, he walks around and takes good care of himself. Pei Zhen's health is basically fine. After entering the Western Regions, his diet lacked vegetables and he got angry."

"And then?" Wu Hua didn't think that Lou Jingmo's diagnosis was over, it just showed that Pei Zhen was faking it very well. "What about the second half you didn't tell him?"

Lou Jingmo sprinkled a handful of seasonings and covered the lid of the soup pot. She turned around and looked at Wuhua and pointed to her head, "I'm sure his brain is different from ordinary people, but it's hard to judge because there is no further diagnosis. How severe his schizophrenia is, it is conservatively estimated that he will develop a dual personality."

"Schizophrenia, dual personality." Wu Hua read the eight words that were unfamiliar, but felt that it highly summarized Pei Zhen's feelings for him.Pei Zhen, who is profound in Dharma, is like a Buddha and a demon in the same body. On the one hand, he is broad and gentle like a Buddha, while on the other hand, he is cold and bloodthirsty like a demon. However, he himself has not been able to reconcile it well, and it is revealed unconsciously.

Wu Hua couldn't help asking, "Can Pei Zhen's disease be cured?"

Lou Jingmo didn't expect Wuhua to be very interested in this, "Theoretically, there is no incurable disease, only incurable life. Wang Lao also mentioned that a hundred years ago in this world, there were martial arts so superb that they could step through the void. Experts appear, so it is reasonable and evidence-based to assume that a person acquires advanced martial arts and finally breaks through his own vision and recovers from intractable diseases.

However, Pei Zhen's disease has complicated causes. It is best to take tranquilizers for a long time before he recovers, and the more important thing is to keep a peaceful mind and avoid complicated things.You see him pretending to be Pei Ju, and then pretending to be Pei Zhen in Pei Ju's identity. I don't know if he will be able to distinguish who he is from the real from the fake in the end.Are you interested in his illness? "

Wu Hua smiled and said nothing, some of Pei Zhen's words resonated with him very much, even if he read thousands of volumes of scriptures, he could not learn compassion even if he was broken in the world of mortals.True and false, true and false, no matter which side it is, some things become an inseparable part of the body after doing it for a long time.

"I'm just worried. Pei Zhen won't get sick this way, right?"

This is really God knows, things about mental patients can't be said for sure.

Lou Jingmo shook his head, not to mention she didn't point out that Pei Zhen was sick in front of him, many things were seen but not revealed.Pei Zhen was able to achieve such a level of realism with fakes, his martial arts must have reached the point of proficiency, she couldn't bear to slap Pei Zhen in the face to expose his false face.

Go west along the river from Lop Nur to Mount Sanmi.During the Sui Dynasty, this road was much easier than during the Ming Dynasty a thousand years later, because water is the source of life, and the river will nourish plants and animals before it dries up, and there will be no lack of food with different tastes along the way.

Even after walking through the sandy desert for a year and a half, a group of people never felt disgusted that no matter how much money they gave, they would never come back again. Instead, the unique customs of the countries in the Western Regions made people linger and forget to return.

There are not only wine and wine luminous cups, but Pei Zhenxuefu Wuche, as the team leader, is so eloquent that his companions don't feel the boring journey at all, and finally came to Sanmi Mountain, the Turkic royal court in the mid-winter of the twelfth lunar month.

Lou Jingmo saw the speed at which other people searched for bones. He took out a map and asked a few local hunters. After selecting a few feasible routes, he entered the mountain. Within seven days, he found the buried body on the second alternative route. land.

The four guards may have come from the beginning or just to protect the bones. The four of them picked up the bones skillfully, sent a large jar down the mountain, and put the bones in the coffin for burial when they returned to the Central Plains.

There are a lot of people coming and going around Sanmi Mountain, even in the middle of winter, the restaurants and restaurants are mostly full, because the merchants in the Western Regions will choose to stop at the Turkic royal court to replenish their travel supplies.

At this time, sitting in a small restaurant not far from the city gate, you can hear no less than ten different languages, not to mention the dialects of different regions derived from the same language.

Lou Jingmo could barely hear a Turkic language from the chaotic conversation. Three people dressed in royal court guard uniforms were chatting about their object of admiration—the Turkic general Bi Xuan.

"I heard that the general had an adventure in the desert. It seems that he encountered some desert temple and practiced extremely high martial arts."

"People in the Central Plains call Lord General Wu Zun, and together with Taoist Ning Daoqi and Goryeo's Fu Cailin, they are also known as the three great masters of martial arts. Today the general came to Sanmi Mountain, and we can finally see his demeanor."

"That's right. A few years ago, I heard that the nun of Cihang Jingzhai came down to assist Yang Jian, but the Demon Sect who claimed to be able to fight it in the rivers and lakes did not make any waves. The three great masters of martial arts have nothing to do with the Demon Sect. The emperor of the Central Plains has nothing to do with the Demon Sect, and the Demon Sect has really failed."

"Hey! You're talking nonsense, it's not good to be overheard. Drink, drink—"

"What are you worrying about? There are people from the Demon Sect who can understand us here. Even if there are people from the Demon Sect, they are not worthy to carry the shoes of General Bi Xuan!"

The three guards of the royal court did not believe in such a coincidence at all, and Lou Jingmo didn't quite understand their other words of praise and derogation. She was wondering if the desert temple was somewhat similar to the War God Temple that the old man Wang casually mentioned, but Was kicked lightly by Wu Hua under the table, because Pei Zhen's eyes at the same table changed completely in an instant.

Lou Jingmo looked up and saw that something was wrong, don't reason with mental patients, it's really a change of face if you say it.

The ghost knows where a casual sentence made Pei Zhen excited. The left and right sides of his face seemed to be divided into two completely different people. The left side was still kind, but the right side was full of murderous intent. .

"Look, General Bi is coming!" A guard stood up excitedly and pointed to the place where the yellow sand was flying to the west, where a horse team of six or seven people was galloping.

Pei Zhen also stood up and stared at the front of the horse team. He saw a man in his thirties who was controlling the reins with one hand, while holding a moon wolf spear in the other hand. His bronze skin shone dazzled by the sunlight. luster.

"Bi, Xuan." Pei Zhen read these two words lightly, and suddenly sprinted towards the horse team, slapping Bi Xuan like a tiger blocking the way.

This palm came urgently and violently, Bi Xuan jumped up from the horse, he was very baffled, someone dared to make trouble in the Turkic royal court in Sanmi Mountain, and it was the right hand that swung the spear to block Pei Zhen's attack.

"The daring thief actually caused trouble in Mount Sanmi! Report your name, who are you?"

broken!Lou Jingmo knew something was going to happen as soon as he heard Bi Xuan's high-pitched words, and Pei Zhen was completely ill.You ask a mental patient who he is, and if he can answer correctly, then he will not suddenly fall ill within a few sentences.

"Who am I?" Pei Zhen looked back in the direction of the small restaurant in a daze when he heard the words, "You two say, who am I?"

Pei Zhen locked his eyes on Lou Jingmo and Wu Hua, completely involving the two who might have stayed out of the matter.This may be a proposition, whose life is not yet known.

"You are the one who can ask him to carry your shoes." Wu Hua calmly gave this somewhat garrulous answer.

"At the end of the scorching sun, the sand in the sand is killing not sand." Wuhua never forgot this hexagram. She traveled westward for a year and a half, reincarnated in spring, summer, autumn and winter, but she never encountered a killing situation. today.Just now the guards of the royal court said that Bi Xuan had encountered the desert temple, so Pei Zhen's fight with him was really interesting.

"Afeng, you..." Lou Jingmo lightly supported his forehead, he really wanted to shut Wuhua's mouth at this moment, mental patients can't be stimulated blindly and the consequences are unpredictable.However, she was actually curious about what would happen if Pei Zhen and Bi Xuan met on the Yellow Sand Road.

Wu Hua blinked her eyes innocently, "I just said what Pei Zhen really said, is it all wrong?"

Whether it is wrong or not is unclear.

When Pei Zhen heard this answer, he laughed loudly, and without any hesitation, he attacked Bi Xuan, "Yes, I am the one who asked you, Bi Xuan, to carry my shoes!"

Bi Xuan was originally proud and arrogant, he was firmly seated as a military venerable in Turkic, how could he hear such humiliating words, no need to worry about who is coming, if this person seeks death, then the other party will be fulfilled.

It was just a stick of incense, and there was already flying sand and stones outside the city gate.

The non-combatants had already run away, and a large wave of people rushed towards the city gate. No one wanted to suffer from the disaster of the fish pond, but half of them were slower and were shut out of the city gate.

The battle on the sandy ground was extremely fierce, and the surrounding area centered on Bi Xuan was scorching hot and boiling. The heat made one feel as if being burned by a raging fire. The next moment, even breathing became difficult, as if a wisp of air inhaled would burn the lungs.

However, Pei Zhen found the method of co-generation and transformation in this scorching yang qi, which was to transform the yang zhen qi attacking him into icy cold qi, and was about to cover the sand with a thin layer of frost.No matter how Bi Xuan attacks, Pei Zhen can use special techniques to transform him endlessly, as if he is immortal.

Such two forces collided and intertwined, and the wind from the flat ground formed a powerful cyclone that seemed to cover the sky and the sun, and it rampaged on the sandy ground, and soon attracted quicksand to grow darkly.

The quicksand came quietly, but swallowed up the small restaurant, horses, etc. in an instant.

Lou Jingmo sat on a big tree beside the city gate to watch the battle. The wind and sand had already broken half of the branches, and the quicksand had already approached the city gate in the dark.

"At the end of the scorching sun, the sand in the sand is not the sand that kills." The scene in front of him does not coincide with the hexagram, and the sudden turbulent quicksand has swallowed the roots of the big tree. It seems to be different from ordinary quicksand. When the grains of sand were churning, they shone with abnormal light, which was actually the same as the Qi used by Bi Xuan.

Wu Zun Bixuan broke into the desert temple by chance and practiced a peerless miraculous skill. Could it be the quicksand that links the desert temple?

This conjecture entered Lou Jingmo's mind, but she couldn't get rid of it. In the increasingly turbulent flow of quicksand, she didn't have much time to think about it, so she made a crazy decision and said to Wuhua sideways, "It's all said to put You die and then live. I jumped, you can do whatever you want."

Wuhua made a move but pulled a corner of her clothes. Seeing Lou Jingmo disappearing into the quicksand, I don't know how her character of playing cards at the moment of life and death is completely unreasonable.

"Crazy! All crazy!"

After Wuhua said that, he jumped into the quicksand, he didn't risk his life to accompany the gentleman, but it was a rare attempt to put himself to death and survive, and finally he let the yellow sand cover his mouth and nose and lost consciousness.
