It turns out that this guy is also named Wu Sheng. It seems that having the same name is a necessary condition for wearing it?
Looking at my own cultivation, this body is in perfect condition with no signs of injury. Was it repaired because of my time travel?
But the repair was done, but all the true energy in the whole body was lost, as if he had never practiced before. This was a bit cheating.
Let's not mention why Xiu is here. The most important thing now is how to save his life. He has caused such a big disaster and assassinated Zhao Yuan, the doctor of Chu State. He knows with his own feet that Ying Du will be searching for him everywhere.
He inherited a lot of scattered memories from his predecessor. As an assassin "once", Wu Sheng certainly knew how his colleagues would be treated if they were caught.
Cutting off the nose to show the public, cutting off the feet and parading in the street are all minor things. What about castration, drying of human flesh with wax, etc., it makes me shudder when I think about it.
What's even more terrifying is that in my memory, a colleague failed to assassinate the Central Military Assistant in the Jin Kingdom. After being caught, he was put into an empty copper bull and lit with fire underneath. The screams came from the nostrils of the bronze bull, which looked very much like a bull. Moo.
Thinking of this, Wu Sheng immediately broke into a cold sweat. He could no longer stay in this pavilion.
Although Bailong Pond is an abandoned garden, this wooden pavilion stands beside the pond, which is very conspicuous. Chu people will definitely find this place if they don't enter Bailong Pond.
Wu Sheng quickly got up and walked south along the path covered with weeds - to the south of Bailong Pond was the Guorenfang in Yingdu.
There are four Guorenfangs in Yingdu, and they are all inhabited by Guorens, that is, the citizens of the Chu State. They are the fourth class below the monarch, ministers, officials, and scholars. They are decent people. Their status is much higher than that of barbarians and slaves. They are the cornerstone of the country. .
The Chinese people's square is different from where the officials and scholars live. There are many Chinese people, and there are many houses and courtyards in the square. It seems very messy and it is easier to hide. After Wu Sheng entered Yingdu two days ago, he specifically checked this area and selected it as an escape route.
When they rushed to the wall, they heard noises outside the wall. Through the empty windows on the wall, they could faintly see soldiers walking back and forth everywhere in the Chinese Square, and some even hung notices on the wall of Baibi Square.
The people in the square were probably searching for him. The way out here was cut off, so Wu Sheng left decisively.
To the west is a fruit forest, which belongs to the monarch or a minister. This is the second escape route. But when I rushed over to take a look, there were also people in the forest, and the road was blocked.
To the north is where Doctor Qing and his disciples live. Not to mention how many monks and masters are hidden there, but those high walls are like forts, and it is definitely not something that I can climb now.
As for the east, there is a large area of fields in the city of Yingdu, which is empty and has no hiding place.
Hesitating and having no choice, he had no choice but to go under a stone bridge in the northeast of the waste garden and hide here temporarily. When Wu Sheng entered the garden two days ago, it was raining in autumn, and he took shelter under this stone bridge.
There are drainage holes at the piers on the left and right sides of the stone bridge, forming inner holes that are invisible from the outside.
After hiding in, I found a set of clothes. I remembered that I had kept them just in case, and they came in handy at this moment, so I hurriedly changed into them.
The original linen clothes were dug in a hole nearby and buried - God knows how he came back from Shangyuan, and I don't know if he was seen by anyone on the way. It would be safer to change into another clothes.
The wooden box containing the pothos was also buried in the pit. If he was really caught, having this thing on his body would be a disaster. No matter how reluctant you are to part with it, you can only bury it now and leave a mark on the spot so that you can take it out when you have the opportunity in the future.
After hurriedly packing up, when I returned to the bridge, I could already hear the shouts of Yingdu guards rushing into Bailongchi to search, and the barking of dogs.
Having a dog would be troublesome. Wu Sheng secretly screamed "Bitterness". Being nervous, he had no choice but to place his hope in the water of the pool.
Bailong Pond was the former residence of the Ruo'ao family, who was once very powerful in the Chu Kingdom. After the Ruo'ao family was exterminated, it was abandoned and no one had cleaned it. The pond was full of duckweeds, weeds, and reeds.
Wu Sheng went straight into the water and waded deep into the water. When he was seven or eight feet away from the shore, only his head was visible. He didn't dare to go deeper. There was sticky mud under his feet, and it would be very dangerous to go deeper.
Suddenly, he had an idea and broke off a reed and stuffed it into his mouth. In this way, he could sink into the water at the critical moment.
Not long after, the Bailong Pond became lively. Many guards searched around the garden. Under the guidance of several hounds, the guards quickly found the place where Wu Sheng buried his clothes. Thinking of the green radish in the wooden box, Wu Sheng felt extremely distressed.
The guards soon found themselves under the stone bridge. Fortunately, they left, otherwise they would have become a turtle in the urn.
While he was still frightened, some of the guards stepped onto the waves and climbed into the pool.
Master, this is a master!
Although Wu Sheng's cultivation level has been cleared, his vision is still there. Those who can climb the river and cross the water are at least in the realm of refining gods. Even when his cultivation level is intact, it is not easy to deal with it.
Upon seeing this, Wu Sheng immediately squatted down and submerged his whole body into the water, relying only on the reed pole to breathe.
The monk who was stepping on the water carefully inspected the water, while Wu Sheng slowly moved behind a piece of reeds, trying to hide his figure.
Bailong Pond is not big, but it is not small either. The water surface is about a hundred acres, and it is covered with duckweed, lotus leaves and reeds. As long as the head is not exposed, it is difficult to be discovered. It's a pity that this is a stagnant pool of water, which is completely replenished by rainwater, otherwise Wu Sheng would have found an exit and left long ago.
The monk searched the surface of the water and walked around the pond for countless laps. It took him half an hour to give up.
Wu Sheng hid under the water in fear. After a long time, he slowly emerged. The Bailong Pond had long since returned to silence, and the guards had left.
Returning to the bridge again, Wu Sheng was shivering from the cold, but he didn't dare to make too much noise, let alone light a fire. He could only take off his clothes, wring them out, and hang them on the bridge piers to dry.
I kept moving naked under the bridge, still unable to bear the autumn weather and hunger.
At night, Wu Sheng plucked up the courage to sneak to the south garden wall and take a long look. Seeing that the guards who were searching for the Chinese people's square had withdrawn, and every household was resting behind closed doors, it was quiet, so he jumped out of the wall.
I sneaked into the nearest house. The courtyard wall was very short. I turned over and went in. I reached out to take out the clothes hanging on the bamboo pole and put them on. Only then did I feel a bit warm.
Suddenly, I smelled an alluring fragrance in my nose. I looked up and saw the dried meat hanging under the eaves. I moved my index fingers. I couldn't bear the hunger, so I picked a bunch off on my tiptoes.
When he was about to leave, he saw the wall in the square with a notice hanging on it. He hesitated for a moment, then bravely walked up to it.
Looking carefully by the light of the two torches on the wall, the notice made of wooden signs turned out to be a sea arrest document for hunting down assassins. The assassin to be hunted was Wu Sheng, with a reward of ten gold.
Ten gold refers to ten yi gold. This kind of gold ingot is as big as a cat's paw. It is made by Jixia Academy, which is in charge of the world's spiritual practice. It contains a small amount of spiritual materials and is difficult to imitate. Jixia Academy also strictly prohibits imitation by other countries. The money can be used to purchase spiritual materials from the Academy and pay tribute to the Emperor of Zhou in Luoyi. There are many coins in the princes and countries, but the currency that prevails in the world is love gold.
In Chu State, ant-nosed coins were commonly used, and one thousand coins could be exchanged for one piece of gold. Ten coins was a large amount of money. When I first started out, the price of taking orders was only 300 yuan.
When he looked at the portrait engraved on the wooden sign, Wu Sheng blinked and suddenly smiled.
What are you drawing? who is this?
