Chapter 65 Where to go?
What he said was true. He really didn't know where he was going next or where he could go.
Zhang Mo sympathized with his experience and respected his character. Although he rejected her proposal and invitation, she was not dissatisfied with him. On the contrary, his rejection made her very touched, because the reason for rejecting her was that she had already
I have a master.
Lin Dongyang was an abandoned disciple of Naige Zaoshan and was already dead, but he did not change his worship to others because of this. Fulfilling the promise to the deceased and never abandoning him are the highest expression of a person's character.
The eyes at this time were empty and blank. In addition to confusion about the way forward, there was also helplessness and regret for not being able to fulfill the master's dying instructions. He once promised that Luo Yangzi would worship in Ge Zaoshan, and one day he would be able to restore Luo Yangzi to a high position.
Taoist, but under the current situation, it is impossible for him to stay in Gezao Mountain because they can no longer accommodate him.
Zhang Mo didn't know what he was thinking, but he could see his confusion and confusion. After all the hardships, he finally fulfilled Lin Dongyang's dying instructions, but the moment he delivered the Golden Pill of Return to Heaven to Luo Shunzi, his
The mission was over. The moment the mission ended, the belief that supported him disappeared. Then this persistent young man didn't know where to go.
There was a stone bench for people to rest on the edge of the square. Zhang Mo sat down on the stone bench and asked harmoniously, "Do you still have family?"
Shaked his head. ??
"How long have you been following Lin Dongyang?" Zhang Mo asked again.
"Less than a month." replied.
"So short?" Zhang Mo was surprised. What she did for Lin Dongyang gave her the feeling of never leaving him for many years. She didn't expect that she would only be with Lin Dongyang for such a short time.
He didn't answer, but silently moved to the edge of the stone bench.
"I heard that besides you, there were three men and one woman who were with Lin Dongyang that day." Zhang Mo said.
Trusting Zhang Mo, he naturally would not hide it, nodded and said, "Yes."
"Are you going to find them?" Zhang Mo asked.
He wanted to say that he didn't know where they were now, but he changed his mind when he said it. He knew how much Zhang Mo sympathized with him, but he could not thank Zhang Mo enough for standing up for justice at a critical moment.
He didn't want to cause Zhang Mo any more trouble, and he didn't want Zhang Mo to worry too much, so he nodded.
"You also know that those low-life sects in the world are looking for you everywhere," Zhang Mo was worried, "What should I do if I encounter them on the way?"
He forced a smile and said, "It's okay. It's easier to go back than when we came."
After saying that, he stood up and said, "Master Zhang, I have to go. I will never thank you for your kindness. I will find an opportunity to repay you."
"Don't leave in a hurry, sit down for a while." Zhang Mo persuaded him to stay.
He shook his head and said, "No, I'm showing up here, and they all know my appearance. I have to leave before the end of the Dharma conference. The news will leak out after they come down the mountain, and I'm afraid someone will stop me midway."
"You should come back to Longhu Mountain with me," Zhang Mo finally persuaded him to stay. "If you don't want to become a disciple, I won't force you. You can stay in the mountain and do some trivial things, and we will worry about it later when you are older."
"Thank you Master Zhang for your kindness," he shook his head and said, "My senior brothers and sisters are still waiting for me, I have to go."
After saying this, he bowed down and saluted Zhang Mo.
Seeing that he had decided to leave, Zhang Mo hurriedly took off the money bag from his waist and handed it over, "I'll pay you for these silver coins."
"No, no, I have it." He took out the remaining gold and silver and showed it to Zhang Mo.
It was a lie to look for his senior brothers and sisters, but it was true that he was eager to leave. He had to leave quickly to avoid something unexpected happening after the ceremony.
Saying goodbye to Zhang Mo, he walked quickly from the edge of the square to the north and reached the main road to the north. When he turned back, he found that Zhang Mo was still standing there and looking at him.
After bowing to Zhang Moyuan again, he turned to the east and returned the same way.
Out of Zhang Mo's sight, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Mo had spoken uprightly and upheld justice for him, but at the same time, she had offended Ge Zaoshan. Her actions today would even affect Ge Zaoshan and Longhu Mountain.
Due to the friendship between the same clan, her father Zhang Zhenren would probably blame her afterwards. If he went to Longhu Mountain with Zhang Mo without knowing how to advance or retreat, wouldn't he cause trouble to others again.
After the chronic disease in his left leg healed, he walked much faster. The last time Zhang Mo met him, he was still a cripple. This time he met him and he could walk normally. However, Zhang Mo did not ask why he was injured. It was not that Zhang Mo was careless.
, but even if Zhang Mo saw that his legs and feet were inconvenient that day, he could not conclude that he was lame, maybe he just had an injured sprained foot.
Fortunately, Zhang Mo didn't ask. If Zhang Mo asked, he could only tell the truth. Once Zhang Mo knew the details, he would definitely tell his father Zhang Zhenren, and then Zhang Mo would definitely take him back to Longhu Mountain to cultivate him.
It is very tiring to have high expectations from others. You need to do your best to avoid being disappointed.
His own people are disappointed. But once other people in Longhu Mountain know that they are gifted, they will definitely not be able to get along casually in the future. It is awkward even if you think about it. It would be better if no one knew about it.
He had had no water or rice all day and night, and he had lost a lot of blood before. He became dizzy and sweating profusely before walking very far. He rushed to the town ahead, talked and gestured with the shopkeepers who spoke in dialect, and bought rice.
After eating cakes and rice porridge, he got slightly better.
After dinner, I bought fire-making sticks and some salt to take with me. These two things are indispensable when traveling long distances.
When he walked to the entrance of the town, he happened to see the stewed chicken coming out of the oven. It had been a long time since he had seen the smell of meat, so he bought a stewed chicken, wrapped it in straw paper, carried it in his hand and continued walking.
At midnight in the afternoon, I came to the riverside, dragged the sampan that had been hidden in the grass into the river, went upstream for a few miles and returned to the main stream, crossed the river, and went to the north bank.
He didn't know the whereabouts of Batulu and others, so he had no way of looking for them, but he already had a place in mind. In order to avoid being pursued, he had lived in the mountains for three months. There was a stream where he could draw water, and there were also other things in the stream.
There are fish and shelter by the water. He already has feelings for that place and wants to go back there.
The place where he landed was far away from Guandu. He had to walk more than ten miles from the forest to see the official road in the distance. Since the official ship hijacked by the beggar gang had just been burned not long ago, he was worried about being chased by the beggar gang, so he did not
If you dare to take the official road, you will still move north from the forest on both sides of the official road as before.
In the evening, it started to be cloudy and rainy. I saw an abandoned village ahead, so I ran over and found a dilapidated house at the end of the village to take shelter from the rain.
At present, there is a war and chaos, and abandoned villages like this can be seen everywhere.
It was already summer, the temperature was very high, and there was no need to light a fire to keep warm. However, we still looked for firewood and built a bonfire. Fire can strengthen our courage. With fire, wild beasts and poisonous insects will not dare to approach, and the bonfire can also drive away mosquitoes.
He wasn't too afraid of villages that were obviously abandoned due to war, but after witnessing the Taiping Escort's escorts being seduced by weasels, he was a little timid about those well-preserved but uninhabited houses. This place
The village is not far from the main road. There are traces of trampling on the weeds on the road into the village, and there are ashes left by bonfires in the houses, which indicates that passers-by have rested here.
After lighting the bonfire, he started to stare at the bonfire in a daze. In fact, he was not in a daze, but was recalling the whole thing. Naturally, he would not forgive the people who had hurt him. Luo Shunzi tried to take his life, and he really deserved to end up like this. However,
The daughters of Luo Shunzi and Dachun are both in their thirties and they are getting married.
It's not something that happened recently. Luo Yangzi couldn't have heard about it, and knowing that after the two got married, Luo Yangzi was still running around, looking for elixirs to prolong the woman's life. This shows that master Luo Yangzi and Luo Shunzi must have made an agreement back then.
Yes, this agreement was probably that Luo Shunzi would take care of the woman, and the master Luo Yangzi made sacrifices and violated the sect rules to find the elixir.
In other words, Master Luo Yangzi knew about the whole thing. What he didn't know was that Luo Shunzi stole the credit and did not explain to the beautiful woman that he had found the elixir that saved her life. This was the Master's greatest injustice.
A huge sacrifice was made but no one appreciated it.
He had rushed into the Dharma assembly desperately and made the whole thing public with the help of Zhang Mo. The biggest gain was to seek justice for the master, but there were also drawbacks to this matter, that is, the woman the master liked would be with him for the rest of his life.
She will fall into endless regret, and she is just a victim, not an ungrateful woman, because she does not know that the pill that saved her life was found by Luo Yangzi.
In addition to regret, she may also miss Luo Yangzi, but no matter what the situation is, this woman's life is completely over.
There is a price to pay for pursuing the truth. The pursuer of the truth will pay a price, and the person being pursued by the truth will also pay a price. Sometimes this price can be very heavy.
After carefully recalling it, I do not regret that I sought justice for Master. The truth is the truth, even the bloody truth is better than the false beauty.
After clearing my mind, I took the stewed chicken wrapped in straw paper and was dismantling the straw rope when suddenly there were footsteps in the rain. The footsteps were very fast and more than one person could be heard.
Before he could stand up, two people rushed in from the door.
He was most afraid of meeting people from the Beggar Clan, followed by people from the Jianghu. Fortunately, these two people were wearing Taoist robes and were Taoists.
The two Taoists were both young, only in their early twenties. One of them seemed to be injured and was being supported by the other.
"Little good man, I'm sorry to bother you." The uninjured Taoist said hello, then put down his companion and then the baggage, eagerly looking for something inside.
The injured Taoist lay on the ground with a dark face and shortness of breath.
"Taoist Priest, what's wrong with this guy?" he asked in confusion.
"I'm not sick, I was bitten." Another person said anxiously.
"Poisonous snake or centipede?" I asked, and the black face was indeed a sign of poisoning.
