Hearing Chang Sheng's words, Datou and the others all nodded. Although there was no overflowing admiration or praise, everyone was sincerely convinced of what Chang Sheng said and remembered it in their hearts. Datou and others are all outstanding people and heroes in troubled times. The reason why they are willing to follow Changsheng is not just because Changsheng has shown them the kindness of knowing and meeting them, nor is it just because Changsheng values love and justice and has excellent martial arts. There is also a very important point. That is, Changsheng is calm, fair, and insightful. When faced with complex problems, he can always hit the nail on the head and see the essence clearly. As the saying goes, birds fly with phoenixes, and people with virtuous and good qualities are proud of themselves. If you associate with people like Changsheng, you will be able to understand the right path tomorrow and be sober and free from confusion.
"It's getting late, you should rest early," Changsheng grabbed the bamboo slips on the ground and turned to look at Yu Yi, "Send me to the Qingyang government office and pick me up at midnight tomorrow."
Yu Yi nodded when he heard the sound, stood up and performed the magic, breaking open the Mysterious Gate of the Void, entering the Immortal Palace, and appeared in Qingyang.
It was almost three o'clock at this time, and there were few candles in the government office. Seeing that the light was still on in Li Zhongyong's room, Changsheng went to knock on the door.
Changsheng returned late at night, and Li Zhongyong couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He didn't feel relieved until he opened the door and found that Changsheng's expression was as usual. Changsheng didn't waste any words and took out the bamboo slip to explain his purpose.
There was ready-made needlework in the room. Changsheng re-threaded the bamboo slips and bundled them, making sure that the order was correct and the sentences were correct before he started copying. These bamboo slips had been buried underground for many years. After being unearthed, the ink marks are easily mottled and peeled off, even if they have been memorized by heart. It would be better to copy it down as soon as possible. After all, it is a scripture about cultivating the truth and practicing Qi. There must not be a single word difference.
Although it was less than 2,000 words, it still took a long time to copy it once. Seeing that Chang Sheng had to write a second copy, Li Zhongyong stepped in to help. The two of them worked together until the fifth night before they copied seven copies.
After careful inspection, Changsheng left the bamboo slips and a photocopy to Li Zhongyong, leaving six folded copies for collection.
It was almost midnight and sleep was impossible, so Changsheng drank tea and talked with Li Zhongyong, while the cook was busy preparing breakfast for Datou and others.
As Chang Sheng's senior brother, Li Zhongyong didn't have the same scruples as the others when talking to Chang Sheng, "Lao Wu, your trip to the west is directly aimed at this Yi Qi Zhen Sutra?"
Changsheng nodded. He had no need to hide anything from Li Zhongyong, and he couldn't. He left during the day and came back at night with Yi Qi Zhen Sutra, saying that he didn't go there for Yi Qi Zhongyong, and neither did Li Zhongyong. believe.
Li Zhongyong said again, "In my opinion, the situation has been developing in a good direction, why do you want to arrange a way out for us?"
Hearing Li Zhongyong's words, Chang Sheng subconsciously wanted to deny it, but after a flash of thought, he gave up the idea and instead told Li Zhongyong what Yu Ren had said before in a concise and concise manner.
Li Zhongyong said, "I don't know exactly what the magic talisman is, but I believe that it depends on man-made things. As long as you are willing, there should be a way to delay time."
Changsheng shook his head, and then told the details of what happened in the Immortal Palace and how he obtained the Canopy Sword.
After listening to Chang Sheng's talk, Li Zhongyong finally understood Chang Sheng's worries, "Are you worried about the long nights and dreams? If the talisman remains in the world for too long, it might trigger a melee in the three realms?"
"Yes," Changsheng nodded, "The reason why Heaven lowered the spiritual talisman is to show compassion for the living beings and reduce killings. If the spiritual talisman exists for a long time, it will deviate from the original intention of Heaven lowering the spiritual talisman, and Heaven will never allow invincible people in the world. People exist.”
"What do you want to do?" Li Zhongyong asked.
Changsheng shook his head, "It doesn't matter what I say. It depends on what Long Haotian and others do. But for now, Li Huanchen's death has shocked them. They will definitely kill each other in order to become stronger and protect themselves. At the moment, except Long Haotian, Haotian, there is no other golden talisman yet, but if it drags on for a long time, another golden talisman will appear sooner or later, and the situation will become more complicated."
After Chang Sheng finished speaking, Li Zhongyong did not answer. He just looked up at him, waiting to continue speaking.
"Today, the world is under the Li and Tang Dynasties. Stability is good for the Tang Dynasty, and chaos is bad for the Tang Dynasty," Changsheng said. "If a melee in the three realms really breaks out, the court and the people will be unlucky. This is something I don't want to see, and nothing else." 1. Secondly, even if I have two golden talismans now, Long Haotian can still pose a threat to me. Even I am not invincible, and neither are Datou and others. I am worried that the owners of other talismans will attack them. I My worries are by no means unnecessary. Long Haotian and Gongsun Chengwei have already found a way to hide their spiritual talismans. Now I have no way of knowing where they are. If time goes by, others may also try to hide their own spiritual talismans. , when the time comes, I will face the enemy openly and secretly, how will we respond?"
"Are you worried that they will attack us?" Li Zhongyong asked.
"Sooner or later," Changsheng sighed, "A dog will jump over the wall when he is anxious, not to mention people, whether it is you, Yang Kai, Datou, or the emperor, they are all my weaknesses, Longhushan and the Ni family It’s also my weakness. You’re all fine now, but it won’t be possible if you continue to drag it out.”
"It's us who have dragged you down." Li Zhongyong said in a deep voice.
"Second Senior Brother, please don't say that," Chang Sheng shook his head, "You are my concern, not my burden. I was originally an orphan, and it was your appearance that gave me the meaning of living. I don't want any of you to If something happens to someone, in order not to lose you, I can only leave you."
Seeing Li Zhongyong's brows furrowed and his eyes red, Changsheng hurriedly spoke to comfort him, "Second Senior Brother, I'm just preparing for the worst. Now that I've got the Canopy Sword, I don't necessarily have to do it myself to deal with other golden talismans. Things may turn around."
At this moment, Changsheng sensed that Yu Yi's spiritual talisman appeared in the government office, and immediately left his seat and stood up, "Second Senior Brother, Yu Yi is here, I have to go."
Li Zhongyong then stood up and called his servants to go to the kitchen to get the breakfast prepared for Datou and others.
When Yu Yi came, it was inconvenient to say some things. Seeing Li Zhongyong force himself up and pretending to be calm, Changsheng felt sour in his heart, but he did not regret saying this to Li Zhongyong, because what was supposed to come would come sooner or later. Let Li Zhongyong and others be mentally prepared in advance.
"Lao San and Fan Jingming are in the military camp. Do you want to call him back?" Li Zhongyong asked.
"No need," Changsheng shook his head, "Copy a few more copies of the Yiqi Zhenjing. In addition to the senior and third senior brothers, leave another copy for the fourth senior sister."
Li Zhongyong nodded in agreement, then watched Chang Sheng and Yu Yi enter the Void Xuanmen and disappear.
Returning to the ancient city of Xiye, everyone began to eat individually. Changsheng took out a bundle of scriptures that he had copied last night, and the four of them each had a copy.
Seeing Batulu looking at him eagerly, Changsheng smiled and said, "Senior Brother, I left your share to Second Senior Brother. You can ask for it from him when you go back."
Baturu grinned happily.
After breakfast, everyone set off and headed south to Sunset Mountain.
Everyone set out at nine o'clock and entered the boundary of Jiannan Road in the early afternoon. Sunset Mountain is located in the southwest area of Jiannan Road, and Qingyun Mountain where Yang Kai is located is located in the west of the central part of Jiannan Road. Everyone rushed to Sunset Mountain to meet through Qingyun Mountain.
At Shen Shi in the afternoon, everyone came to the foot of Qingyun Mountain, where Gu Yan was buried. After finally coming back, Yang Kai naturally wanted to go up the mountain to worship.
There is a small town at the foot of Qingyun Mountain. Everyone first came to the town to buy incense and candles as offerings. The incense and candles were sold in a coffin shop. Outside the shop, several government servants were carrying coffins on horse-drawn carriages.
When everyone entered the store, the owner and waiters were talking about how Zhou Laosi was mean and stingy and could not bear the burden of wealth. He accidentally got rich and suffered a misfortune. Not only did he lose his gold and silver, but he also lost his life.
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. After hearing the two people's words, Yang Kai's expression changed greatly, "Is Mipu Zhou Laosi the one who died?"
"Yes, does the guest know him?" the clerk asked casually.
"When did you die?" Yang Kai asked eagerly.
"Last night, there was a thief at home. No one in the family, old or young, was left." The man replied.
Hearing the waiter's words, Yang Kai immediately turned around and went out, pulling over the government servant who was loading the truck, "Has Zhou Laosi from Mipu been killed?"
Although the yamen servant didn't know Yang Kai, he was an official with his own authority. Seeing that Yang Kai and others were not angry and assertive, the yamen servant nodded hurriedly, "Yes, Zhou Laosi got an unexpected fortune a few days ago. I never thought The news leaked out, and he was robbed and killed by gangsters last night."
As soon as the officer finished speaking, Yang Kai used his physical skills to quickly fly south.
Everyone didn't know why and hurriedly followed.
The town is not big, with only one street. The coffin shop is in the north of the town and the rice shop is in the south.
When everyone rushed to the door of the rice shop, a government servant was getting up from the ground in panic, pulled out his waist knife, and shouted at the rice shop, "Who are you?!"
As soon as Yu came close, he showed his waist badge. Although the officer had never seen the general's waist badge, he knew it was an official talisman and hurriedly bowed and saluted, "I have seen the superior officer before."
Just when Yu Yi was asking the yamen officer about the case, Yang Kai rushed out of the rice shop, "The wound is smooth and he has hit the vital points. He is not an ordinary bandit, but a master of swordsmanship."
Before anyone could answer, Yang Kai had already grabbed the government servant beside him, "Where's the mute girl?"
"That little mute that Zhou Laosi picked up?" the yamen servant asked.
"Where is she?" Yang Kai raised his eyebrows and asked.
Seeing that Yang Kai looked unkind, the yamen servant turned pale with fear and said, "He was taken away."
"Who took him away?" Yang Kai asked eagerly.
"I heard that she was taken away by a woman," the yamen servant said. "Zhou Laosi sold her a few days ago and got a sum of gold and silver, and then he died in a disaster."
"She wasn't there last night?" Yang Kai frowned.
"No, no," the officer shook his head repeatedly, "She has been taken away for several days."
After hearing what the yamen officer said, Yang Kai loosened his collar and frowned, thinking anxiously.
Datou and others did not ask questions, because Yang Kai once said in the Immortal Palace that he had a crush on someone who had helped him in his early years. This mute girl from Mipu was probably the woman Yang Kai mentioned.
After thinking anxiously, Yang Kai turned to look at Chang Sheng, "Your Majesty, I must have..."
Yang Kai stopped abruptly before he finished speaking, because he found that Chang Sheng was smiling...
