Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 627

"Whoa~"

The sound of water sounded.

After the wet Taoist walked out of the huge bathing place, he stepped barefoot on the stone platform paved with cobblestones, which was very tactile, and wiped his body with a clean cloth.

Walking out of the main entrance of the bathing place, I immediately saw the grimace of Shou Jing who was sitting in the garden gnawing on a wild fruit that he didn't know where to touch, and was staring at him sourly.

He shook his head helplessly, and walked to the railing that was used as a clothes drying pole. With a wave of his hand, the clothes that were still wet immediately came to the dry time in the future.

"Bah... bah... ho~~~~TUI~"

Shou Jing threw away the fruit with a face full of pain, and the halazi dripped down the corner of his mouth, almost like a fool.

After spitting out all the residue in his mouth, he said painfully:
"Oh my god...this is too bitter..."

"……what are you eating?"

Li Zhen couldn't help asking.

Shoujing shook his head:

"I don't know, I just picked it from a passing house."

"...Aren't you afraid of being poisoned by eating?"

"Uh……"

Hearing this, after keeping quiet and reacting belatedly, he quickly shook his head:
"It's okay, it's okay, how can the things grown in my home be poisonous... it's so sour, you know? It's so sour, it's so sour that it makes you feel bitter!"

"……All right."

Li Zhen didn't pay attention to him, and after getting dressed on his own, he suddenly asked:
"Everyone from outside is here?"

"Come on. It's been two days since I came here, and I pretend to be besieging the city every day... Not to mention, I'm quite dedicated."

"...What is the monk doing these two days?"

"Meditate. After I broke my defense that day, I think I should consider studying medicine in the past few days... But studying medicine can't save the people of the Sui Dynasty. If you want me to say, just... study physics and make an atomic bomb Come out, let's break down Karaka together!"

"Where did you learn this trick?"

Li Zhen was shocked.

How could he know everything he didn't know?

But Shoujing shrugged indifferently, looked at Li Zhen who had already put on a pair of hair and started to comb her hair, and asked:
"Got to go?"

"Ah."

"...don't say hello?"

"I don't want to fight."

Li Zhen shook his head:

"Give them some time to digest. It's not like you didn't see the monk's attitude that day. Thousands of lives... were just swept to death under this city. That is, the news hasn't been released yet. After it spreads all over the world, Maybe I'll become a murderer... Forget it, so that my buddies and friends don't think too much, I'll go first, and we can talk about it next time we meet..."

"……Fine."

Shou Jing clapped her hands and said:
"Is there anything for me to tell you?"

"You can figure it out."

"...um. How to get there?"

"I don't know... I'll leave Chasing Thunder to you, how about it? Anyway, it belongs to Pegasus City, so I have to give it back to Hongying. I'm talking... its head is too eye-catching, so let Li Shimin leave that horse give it to me."

"Alright. But I suggest you find those Baiqisi first..."

"How to find it? You teach me."

"...That's right, pretend I didn't say it. Shall I see you off?"

"Hmm...do you have any money?"

"Have."

Shoujing nodded happily.

Then stomp...

Li Zhen was speechless as he watched a box of gold and silver treasures appear in front of him as the soil surged.

"Let me tell you, people in Sangquan are really rich..."

"...You are outrageous!"

"Haha, that's enough...you are still pretending to be a big-tailed wolf with me. Lu Laoqi's stuff, don't want it for nothing."

With that said, he picked out two ingots of gold and two ingots of silver from the box, and threw them directly to Li Zhen:
"Is it enough?"

"Enough. No coins?"

"Yes~"

He stomped again.

Li Zhen picked up a bunch of copper plates, put them all in his purse, and said:
"Let's go."

"Ah."

The mud swallowed them all in an instant.

There is no sadness of parting, just simple.

Say go, go.

After a while, Li Zhen glanced at the white military tent in the distance, and nodded to Shoujing:
"gone."

"You must kiss the bad woman more for me!"

"..."

The corner of the Taoist's mouth twitched when he wished to kill his relatives righteously, and finally he led the horse and left without looking back.

And Shou Jing also smiled, and after a few steps, he came to the camp.

"Old Du."

Before entering the tent, he yelled.

A group of soldiers are also accustomed to the appearance of this Confucian scholar.

I don't feel anything.

Shoujing walked into the military tent on his own, and saw Cui Wanrong, Li Shimin, Du Ruhui, and Hou Peiji at a glance.

Next to him was Li Yuanba who was yawning boredly.

"Just to tell you, Li Shouchu is gone."

"what!?"

Du Ruhui's expression changed instantly:
"How could you let him go..."

"Otherwise? He is my elder brother. If he leaves, can I stop him?"

Shou Jing rolled his eyes.

"Where did the Taoist priest go?"

Cui Wanrong on the side showed anxiety.

"do not know."

Shoujing shrugged:

"He didn't tell me..."

"..."

Du Ruhui thought that you lied to ghosts!
But seeing Shou Jing's face...he thought about it, and finally didn't choose to ask further questions, but continued to "lose his temper":
"Then he can't leave either! This...how can he just leave without saying a word! You...you...are so angry at me!!!"

In an instant, Lao Du felt like throwing a cup as a sign.

But the cup didn't break, but left with anger and anxiety on his face.

It seems to be chasing.

Shou Jing didn't stop him, just looked at the crowd, and continued:
"Sangquan is empty, so I don't have to worry about what's going to happen next. Everyone understands... I'll go back."

"Where is Mr. Shou Jing going?"

Li Shimin asked quickly.

"Go back to Yuqian and go talk about the book."

Shoujing shrugged, and his tone was extremely relaxed:
"What I can do, what Li Shouchu can do, we both have done it... There are a lot of good things in the underground of Sangquan... I am also surprised. Could it be that this place is not a flood plain? Why are there so many good things? many?"

He began to speak words that no one could understand.

After muttering a few words to himself, he turned his head and said to Li Shimin:

"Li Er, it doesn't matter if Li Shouchu doesn't like you. It's good for the two of us to deal with each other, and I won't hide it from you. The iron mine in Sangquan is not small. You can see... and the salt mine Five or six miles to the west, there is still copper... but the output is not much, but according to your digging method, it is estimated that it can be dug for about five or sixty years."

"!!"

In an instant, the expressions of Cui Wanrong and Pei Ji all changed:
"copper!?"

"correct."

Shoujing nodded, but still directed at Li Shimin:
"But I can't help you now, because you still can't control it. But it doesn't matter, as long as you can get... ahem, pretend I didn't say it. Anyway, if you need it later, I will help you. But now I can only I've helped you get here. Okay? Let's not change the green hills, and the green waters will flow forever. I'm leaving..."

"...Mr. Shoujing..."

Li Shimin seemed to want to say something.

Ke kept quiet but waved his hand:
"Not much to say, I'm leaving now, Li Shouchu still counts on me...Miss Cui."

Suddenly, he turned his face and looked at Cui Wanrong:

"There are some things... don't think about it. If you keep thinking about it, it's easy to get stuck in it and you can't get it out. That's all for now, think about it slowly..."

"..."

Cui Wanrong was taken aback for a moment.

But immediately his face turned pale...

Looking at Shoujing, the sockets of his eyes turned red.

But this time, Shou Jing really stopped talking, and just waved her hand:
"Everyone, take care. Li Er, those remnants of Feng Yi, remember our agreement."

After speaking, with a shake of his body, the person has disappeared without a trace.

Only those people with different expressions in the military tent were left behind, with turmoil in their hearts...

……

Tachuan grazes on the grass.

During the attack on Sangquan that day, Du Ruhui was arrested, and Tachuan was also trapped.

But Sun Hua didn't touch it, but locked it up, planning to tame it in the future.

After all... the horses in Pegasus City are very precious.

In the end, Shoujing fished it out.

Du Ruhui was sitting on a rock beside the small river, staring at the quietly flowing river in a daze.

"I just said, there is still a tacit understanding between our brothers."

A quiet voice suddenly sounded from behind him.

"..."

Du Ruhui turned to look at him, and asked directly:

"Where did the Taoist go?"

"Jiangnan."

Now, Shou Jing doesn’t hide anything:
"Let's go find Li Shilang."

"...Why did you go to Li Shilang?"

"Well, it's not easy to tell you this. I said I would be struck by lightning."

Shou Jing shook her head, grabbed a few stones on the ground, and threw one into the creek.

"Gudong~"

After glancing at Du Ruhui, a smile appeared in his voice:
"Don't blame Li Shouchu for leaving without saying goodbye, he was just afraid that you would be scared..."

"...are we scared?"

A look of confusion appeared on Du Ruhui's face.

"Yes, otherwise, why do you think the monk suddenly meditated?... He just couldn't accept it. In his world, the Taoist priest should be the one with great compassion... In fact, it is the same. These thousands of people, The thousands of people killed by Li Shouchu himself made him very sad. Even at the last moment, he was still trying to get Sun Hua to stop through communication. But... Sun Hua didn't stop."

"..."

A faint sarcasm appeared on Shou Jing's face:

"Here I am not saying that I look down on Xuanzang. It's just that...he is still a human being after all. What the Buddhists say is to eliminate all emotions and six desires, and only compassion is left...Because compassion is not a kind of desire? Yes Right. The monk thought that the Taoist priest would turn wars into treasures, not only to save one person, but also to save the common people. But he forgot...one person is the common people. After seeing Sun Hua's paranoia, he knew that if he did this again With compassion, it’s not just Li Shimin or you who are suffering... Maybe it’s Hedong, it’s the world... But the monk doesn’t understand this truth, and I’m quite straightforward. So he just..."

"what did you say?"

"It's very simple."

Shoujing shrugged:

"I told him: Learning Buddhism cannot save this world."

"..."

The corner of Du Ruhui's mouth twitched instinctively.

Not to mention, it smells like a Taoist priest.

That cheap whizzing look was carved out of the same mold.

But before he had time to say anything, suddenly, a thought came to his mind, which made him smile wryly:
"The head of the Taoist... thinks lightly of me."

"It's not that he takes you lightly, it's because he doesn't want you to see this side of him... After all, when we met, we were all clean, we endured hardships and suffered together, and we came to Hedong together... All the people in a county were rescued...but now it's like this. It's said that you can travel a hundred miles and half ninety...the rest of the way, Lao Du, you have to go on your own."

"As it is."

The wry smile faded away.

Du Ruhui's eyes were full of firmness:
"You can't let the Taoist priest carry everything alone, can you?"

"... Well, with your words, Li Shouchu will be at ease."

The smile on Shou Jing's face became more natural:
"It's just... the monk, you have to take good care of him, don't let him go astray... Of course, this is what Li Shouchu told you. If you want me to say, I wish he could live more clearly."

"..."

"Gudong."

Another stone fell into the water.

Shou Jing suddenly sighed:
"Oh...Old Du."

"Ok?"

"I'm going to go too."

"Where?"

"Back to Qun."

"...Mr. Shoujing won't help the Taoist priest?"

"I went back to Yuqian to help him...I won't tell you about some things, um, that's it. After I leave...you can hang out with Li Shimin...Old Du, do you believe me or not?"

"Uh……"

He looked at the Confucian scholar who suddenly stared at him very seriously.

Du Ruhui thought for a while, then nodded:

"letter!"

"Okay, then go help Li Shimin!"

"...Help him? It means..."

Seeing Du Ruhui's tentative intention, Shou Jing nodded directly:

"Just take it as a gamble, how about it?"

As soon as these words came out, some things... Du Ruhui's mind could almost be said to be a final conclusion.

So, he frowned slowly.

"But……"

"No, but, Old Du, he's still too tender."

Shoujing shook his head:
"You must help him. With you here, Li Shouchu and I are very relieved...Of course, it would be better if you can persuade the monk to help him...But no matter what, you have to help him. For other things...you don't have to Control. I will always stay in Hedong, at least I won’t leave until the pool of dragon and fire refugees are gone. So, I will help you with the thing about Hedong. And you... help Li Shimin! How about it?"

"...When did you help, and to what extent?"

"What do you say?"

"...Boom..."

The originally sunny weather suddenly turned cloudy.

These clouds seemed to appear out of thin air, just covering the scorching sun and blocking the light.

It was dark, as if something terrifying was brewing.

"..."

Du Ruhui looked at Shoujing seriously.

"..."

Shou Jing is also serious, looking at him without any playfulness.

until……

Du Ruhui nodded.

"it is good."

"Well...then I'm leaving."

With a wave of his hand, the soil squirmed, bringing the chasing thunder who was struggling at a loss.

Shou Jing got on the horse directly.

Chasing Lei wasn't used to it at first, and wanted to push him down.

But immediately seemed to perceive something, and suddenly became quiet.

"Take care of the monk, take care of yourself..."

Riding on the horse, the Confucian scholar clasped his hands together:
"gone."

"..."

Du Ruhui was speechless.

He just patted the non-existing dirt on his body, and gave a big gift respectfully:
"Congratulations, Mr. Xie! Mr. Xie saved the people of Sangquan City! Such kindness, Sangquan will never forget."

"Ha~ Take care! Old Du! We will meet again in Shanshui!"

Shoujing chuckled and pulled the rein:

"drive!"

　It's still four thousand words, or it will be four thousand in the future, or I have to lay the groundwork for this opening plot.
