The little fat man kept wanting to speak, but he waited until he was far away from the crowd before speaking in confusion, "Brother Cripple, are you really a high official in the imperial court?"
Having avenged the little fat man and relieved his anger, Chang Sheng was in a good mood. Hearing the little fat man ask questions, he smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Doesn't it look like it?"
"They don't look alike, but the aura you spoke with just now is quite similar," the little fat man said.
"Judge a book by its appearance, and you will lose everything," Chang Sheng said with a smile, "What looks like is often not what it is. Take you for example, do you feel like the Dharma King?"
"It doesn't seem like it." The little fat man shook his head.
"How are you? Do you feel better?" Changsheng asked.
"I feel much more comfortable," the little fat man took a long breath. "My wife was robbed by someone. I'm so angry. If it weren't for you, I would have suffocated to death today. Brother Lame, you are so embarrassing to me today. I Thank you forever."
"This is too outrageous," Chang Sheng waved his hand and said, "Besides, what you said is wrong. What do you mean by your wife? Are you and she married? No, it should be the third son of the Sun family who is angry, okay? His wife has been teased by you for a long time, and whenever he thinks about it in the future, he will feel uncomfortable."
"Hey," the little fat man suddenly realized, "Yes, that's really what happened."
"It's true," Changsheng said, "This is not self-deception, but the fact. Don't always treat other people's things as your own. If they don't consummate the marriage with you, it's not yours. Whoever consummates the marriage is the one who cheats. Those who don't consummate the marriage are all the same. Taking advantage.”
"I feel much better thinking about it this way." The little fat man nodded and said.
"Are you really thinking about it?" Changsheng asked.
"Huh huh huh," the little fat man cried sadly, "I have to think rationally even if I can't think about it. She had already promised me, so why didn't she keep her words?"
"Maybe it's God's will," Changsheng said. "You are Dharma King Dorje, and you will have great fortunes in the future. There should be no worldly entanglements in the first place."
"It's possible," the little fat man said, "I'll take care of my worries when I come back this time, so I won't have to think about her all day long."
Changsheng nodded and said, "Yes, when you go back, abandon your distracting thoughts, concentrate on studying Buddhism, and strive to achieve enlightenment and become a Buddha, and live forever in the West."
The little fat man nodded seriously, "Okay."
Seeing the solemn promise of the little fat man, Changsheng was relieved. Although this result was not satisfactory, it was still a good result. The little fat man would definitely be able to concentrate on studying Buddhism and enlightenment in the future.
Just when he was secretly pleased, the little fat man suddenly said, "Hey, lame brother, do you think there is a girl in Xitian?"
Changsheng was instantly discouraged and lowered his head in frustration.
The little fat man said to himself, "Not only monks practice Buddhism, but nuns also practice Buddhism. There should be women in the West."
"Okay, okay, stop talking and leave quickly." Changsheng urged.
The two left the county town and returned the same way.
After all, the little fat man has a child's heart. Thinking that he had earned enough face by being immortal in front of everyone, he couldn't help but feel a lot of gratitude. He just said that this favor was really too great and he would definitely try to repay it in the future.
The little fat man said it seriously, but Changsheng didn't take it seriously, because the Gelug Temple is located in the southwest border, far away from the middle-earth, and there will not be many opportunities for the two to meet in the future.
The little fat man had been holding his breath when he came, but now that it was released, he started to complain on the way back. Sometimes he complained that his butt hurt, and sometimes he complained that his waist hurt from tiredness, groaning and grinding.
Changsheng is not used to him. It's not that he is cruel, but that he doesn't dare to delay. The big head is still in the cave, just getting cold and drinking the wind. The most important thing is that there is a danger of his secret being exposed at any time. He has to hurry up and get rid of the little fat man. Take it back and replace the big head.
As night fell, the little fat man felt sleepy and groaned to sleep. He had no choice but to hug him and drive all night long.
At Mao o'clock the next day, the two entered the territory of Hualing County. Hualing County is located a hundred miles west of Yuzhou and is under the jurisdiction of Yuzhou.
When we arrived here, we were hungry and thirsty. The noodles we had prepared earlier were moldy and the milk soup was spoiled. We saw a wild shop on the roadside ahead, so we took the little fat man there to rest and eat.
After entering, I found that there were many diners in the store, all carrying knives and sticks, all dressed as warriors. These people occupied several tables on the west side of the wild store. While eating, drinking and talking, they frequently raised their heads and looked westward from the west window.
Chang Sheng originally wanted to eat something simple and go on the road early, but he never thought that the little fat man found a group of chickens raised behind the wild shop, and clamored for chickens. Thinking that the little fat man had just experienced the betrayal of his lover, Chang Sheng asked for a chicken, but It is quite time-consuming to kill the chickens immediately.
Seeing the store owner going to catch chickens in the forest behind, the little fat man followed him to select chickens. Naturally, he did not admit that he was going to pick chickens.
"Gang Leader Gao, is your news reliable? Why haven't they returned even after waiting for several days?" A warrior spoke.
Someone answered, "Reliable, someone has seen them from Yuzhou before. They left the city from the west gate and must have gone west."
"Could they have gone elsewhere?" someone speculated.
"No, they are all riding horses and cannot walk on the path." The leader shook his head and said.
"It rained last night, will the gunpowder get wet?" Someone said, "They are all martial arts students, so their skills are definitely good. If the gunpowder gets wet, we are no match for them."
Upon hearing the words gunpowder and martial arts background, Chang Sheng immediately guessed that these people were coming for him. Previously, Jinding Villa had planted gunpowder in Shifang'an, hoping to blow up Yu Yi, and now these people were ambushing gunpowder nearby. , trying to blow himself up.
You must know that gunpowder was not common at this time. These people and the thieves at Jinding Villa were probably under the instructions of the same person behind the scenes.
Seeing someone taking advantage of others' ambition and destroying his own prestige, the leader was not happy. He just said that those who participated in the martial arts competition were just showboats and not practical. If they really wanted to fight, it was not certain who would win.
While everyone was chatting, someone took a glance and noticed that Chang Sheng was looking at them with a frown, so he raised his eyebrows and cursed, "What are you looking at? You want to die."
Before Chang Sheng could answer, another person frowned and said, "I seem to have seen this person somewhere."
"It looks familiar to me too."
At this moment, another person spotted the black man and the sweaty horse grazing on the roadside, "Black horses, both are black horses."
As soon as this person spoke, the others immediately reacted and hurriedly drew their weapons.
Changsheng was very tired after running long distances for several days and was too lazy to take action. "Please calm down, you are no match for me."
Naturally, the crowd would not listen to his dissuasion, so they showed their swords and surrounded him.
"I'll give you two choices," Changsheng put down the tea bowl in his hand. "One is to rush forward and be killed by me. The other is to put away your weapons and answer my questions."
"Do you think we are scared?" The person who spoke had a serious look on his face.
"I'll count three, and after three I'll take action, one." Changsheng counted.
"Don't think we are afraid of you." "Yes, we have never seen anything before." "If we start a fight, it's not certain who will live and who will die."
"Two." Changsheng counts again.
"Two fists can't beat four hands, so we don't believe you have three heads and six arms." "Young boy still wants to scare us." "If you scare us, how can we get along in the future?"
"Three." Changsheng lowered his hand and drew his sword.
"Sir, spare your life!" Between being embarrassed and losing their lives, everyone chose the former, threw away their weapons, and fell to their knees.
"Who ordered you?" Changsheng asked.
"Xichuan Jiedushi Wang Jian." The leader replied.
"Wang Jian?" Changsheng frowned and tilted his head. These thieves in front of him were purely bandits. Wang Jian would naturally not take them seriously, let alone instigate these people to assassinate him. The most important thing is that the one who attacked Xichuan was Long Haotian. Wang Jian There was no motive for his own assassination.
"Yes, yes, third brother told me personally." The leader said eagerly.
"Who is the third brother?" Changsheng asked casually.
The leader raised his hand and pointed north, "Xiao San'er from the Tianlong Gang."
Changsheng didn't have the energy to follow the vine at the moment. The most important thing was that he knew very well that he couldn't find the melon by following the vine, so he said casually, "The box containing the gunpowder is here. Take it out and let me take a look."
"It's buried on the road." The leader said.
"Dig it out." Changsheng said.
After hearing Changsheng's words, the leader immediately sent someone to dig. After a while, a box was brought back. Changsheng stepped forward to check. The style of the box was exactly the same as the box buried in Shifang'an at Jinding Villa, and it undoubtedly came from the same workshop.
These people were obviously not good at preserving and using gunpowder. The box was buried in the soil, and when it rained and water seeped in, all the gunpowder inside became wet.
Changsheng pondered deeply and sorted through his memories. He and Datou came to Yuzhou from Zilizhou. When they left, they didn't tell anyone where they were going next. How did these bandits know their whereabouts?
But after strict questioning, the leader Gao Gang leader only said that Xiao Saner told him that he and Datou might come to Yuzhou next, and asked him to pay close attention. If he and Datou were killed by bombing, General Wang would give him a heavy reward.
Seeing that he couldn't find any valuable clues, Changsheng didn't bother to ask anymore. This matter was definitely not Wang Jian's fault. The other party was just framing the blame. As for who the other party was, he should be able to get the answer after returning to Chang'an, because he There is also a carrier pigeon in hand. Just release the carrier pigeon and follow it to find the mastermind behind it.
When the little fat man came back from catching the chicken, he saw people kneeling in the store. He was filled with doubts, but he didn't care who these people were or why they were kneeling here. With immortality here, he wasn't afraid of anything.
It wasn't until the little fat man had a feast that the two of them set off on their way, that everyone dared to stand up and make noise for a while, deceiving themselves and others by saying harsh words, trying hard to force themselves to forget about the incident. After a while, they regained their confidence and became arrogant again.
After traveling for another two days and nights, the two finally returned to Duoji Mountain in the afternoon of the sixth day. By then, the little fat man was so tired that he could hardly walk, and Chang Sheng could only carry him back to the cave.
Seeing the two of them returning, Da Tou, who was frightened and breathless, felt relieved.
The little fat man was very tired and wanted to lie down and sleep when he returned to the cave. Seeing this, Changsheng hurriedly winked at Datou. Datou understood and immediately stepped forward to ask for it.
Hearing Da Tou's words, the little fat man remembered his previous promise, "You still go to the white house and wait, I will go to the back mountain to get it for you."
"Will the eagle peck you?" Chang Sheng was worried.
"I am Dharma King, they don't peck me." The little fat man yawned and turned around to leave.
"Here, wrap it in a blanket." Big Tou caught up with the little fat man and stuffed a small blanket over him.
The little fat man took the blanket and swayed away. The two returned to the back of the white house and waited anxiously.
After waiting nervously and expectantly for half an hour, the little fat man finally came back, holding a blanket in his arms. The blanket was very bulging and there was obviously something wrapped inside.
Before the little fat man could get closer, Big Tou happily greeted him. After thanking him, he took the blanket and opened it for inspection.
The little fat man was exhausted and fell asleep. "Brother Cripple, I owe you a big favor and I will definitely repay you. I can't hold it anymore and I have to go back to sleep. You go."
"Okay, go back and rest quickly. I'll see you again when I have time." Changsheng nodded.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute," Big Tou grabbed the little fat man eagerly, "What is this?"
"Where's the egg?" said the little fat man.
"Isn't it an eagle?" Datou was stunned.
"Oh, it hasn't hatched yet. You can go back and hatch it yourself..."
