The national teacher does not practice

Chapter 314 Journey (please subscribe)
As time went on, the number of guests in the restaurant increased, but this group of people going upstairs was obviously not ordinary.

The conversation between Ji Ping'an and the Buddha was interrupted. The two turned to look over and saw a group of typical gangsters walking up the stairs.

Each one was armed with a sword, and his body was still stained with a little evil spirit.

As soon as they sat down, they shouted loudly and urged the food and wine to be served, and the waiter was busy accompanying them. However, before the food was served, a group of people opened the liquor, drank it in large gulps, and started talking.

Lanzhou Yuezhou has a prosperous atmosphere in the world of rivers and lakes, and there are many rivers and lakes affairs that are discussed. When a group of people talk about it, they are all related to the local area.

Ji Ping'an listened and was surprised to hear familiar words.

It seems that the leader of the Yue Nu Sword Sect, "Master Wuxin", has advanced to the realm of sitting in a well...

Regarding the Yue Nu Sword Sect, the last time he had contact with them was during the Wulin Alliance in Qixia Town.

At that time, in order to quell the dispute between the new military force and the old military force, he persuaded and won over several forces overnight, including the Yue Women Sect.

But at that time, I just looked at the slight friendship between the founder of the Yue Nu Sect and him, and gave me some advice.

There was no in-depth communication after that.

When the plague of poisonous insects broke out in Sanhuang County, the two sides separated.

Now it sounds like Master Wuxin gained something from that disaster.

He has also been stuck in the realm for many years. As the saying goes, when the water is full, it will overflow. It is not surprising to break through and advance.

The second message is:
Recently, there seems to be evil in the rivers and lakes of Yuezhou, and the government has strangled him several times, but to no avail.

A wanted order was issued, and the entire Yuezhou world was in turmoil.

"Evil?"

Ji Ping'an caught this word and was not sure if it was another reborn person causing trouble.

But in his current situation, he obviously has no intention of meddling in other people's business.

It would be interesting if that evil spirit bumped into me on its own initiative, but I just thought about it.

The people next to him were talking loudly, and Ji Ping'an also started to eat quietly.

He didn't have the slightest sense of being a "prisoner", as if he was drinking based on the interesting stories told by these gangsters.

It wasn't until the other party talked about Yu Hang's fighting skills that his eyes became weird.

The two places are far apart, and the great cultivator will arrive shortly, but to ordinary people, the news comes only at this time.

A group of Jianghu people, as great Zhou warriors, have a clear stance.

During the conversation, Ji Sichen was highly praised, but as for Buddhism, he was full of ridicule and indignation.

Ji Pingan suddenly spoke and said sarcastically:
"What you are saying is wrong. In my opinion, Ji Sichen is just using tricks. In terms of his true ability, he is still a powerful Buddhist."

His voice just drowned out the noise, instantly attracting the attention of the table of warriors.

"boom!"

The first, a rough-looking man, was already drunk, with a bright red face. He had noticed the old monk and young man next to him before.

Just ignore it.

When Hui Hui suddenly heard such words, he couldn't help but became furious, slapped the case, and cursed:
"Where did this kid come from, getting so close to this old bald donkey, and dare to talk nonsense in my great Zhou Dynasty!"

"Shuzi dare!"

"The bald donkey begs to be beaten!"

In the blink of an eye, several gangsters gathered around him, aggressive and gearing up, as if they were ready to take action.

"..." When Lord Buddha saw this scene, he looked towards the opposite side with an expressionless face, only to see Ji Ping'an smiling, as if to express his innocence.

At this time, the leading drunkard became even more angry when he saw that the two of them were treating them as if they were nothing. He rolled up his sleeves and punched them.

Lord Buddha sighed helplessly, and a pale golden barrier appeared around the two of them, blocking their fists.

Then he took out the broken silver and put it on the table. With a move of his sleeves, he and Ji Ping'an across from him instantly disappeared without a trace.

Boom!

The drunkard punched the barrier, causing ripples in the space, and the whole person was shaken backwards!

Immediately afterwards, I saw an old man and a young man who were eating disappear out of thin air, and they suddenly woke up from their drunkenness!
The rest of the people in the arena also changed their colors in shock, screaming and retreating, unaware that they had provoked an expert.

The entire restaurant was instantly in chaos, and soon the news spread.

After a while, a large group of galloping horses came outside the restaurant. It was the Yamen of the Demon Slayer Division in Yuezhou Fucheng.

Accompanying him was a Taoist priest from the local Taoist sect.

"Tell us the situation in detail quickly!" The military attache of the Demon Slaying Department asked sternly.

During the turmoil, the appearance of any suspicious practitioners in the city is worthy of attention.

The waiter and the warriors trembled and narrated what had happened. The military attache frowned, unsure of the situation.

He couldn't help but look at the Taoist priest beside him.

The Taoist looked arrogant, as if he was familiar with this kind of thing. He took out a magic weapon and a writing brush, spread out the paper, and stuffed it into the hands of the reckless man:

"Recall the appearance of those two people in your mind, and this pen will draw their appearance on its own."

The man frowned and thought, but after a moment he opened his eyes blankly and said:

"I do not remember."

The Taoist's expression changed slightly, and he asked the other people present, and found that no one could recall the appearance of those two people.

"Wait a minute, you reported that who are these two people here?"

The military attaché of the Demon Slaying Department suddenly asked. He covered his head in pain, feeling that some memories in his mind were being erased quickly.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, and then realized at a loss that their memories of those two people were also disappearing quickly.

Another few breaths passed.

The Taoist priest stood there, staring blankly at the pen in his hand, his eyes blank:
"Why are we... here?"

They even forgot why they came.

……

On the other side, outside the city gate, the space was distorted, and two figures walked out.

The Lord Buddha looked at the other side and sighed: "Why should the master be like this?"

Ji Ping'an looked indifferent, as if he had never done anything, and said with a smile:

"What's wrong with me?"

Lord Buddha shook his head, raised his hand to grab it, and a magic weapon lantern appeared out of thin air in his palm, and the lantern diffused the halo.

Ji Ping'an also had a red lantern in his hand.

The two of them walked forward along the road, and the Lord Buddha suddenly said:

"Did the Imperial Master know that those Jianghu people would come?"

He seems to have seen through everything:
"Yes, the Imperial Master has returned to the state of sitting in a well, and his astrological ability to predict his own destiny has also recovered a lot. The arrival of that group of Jianghu people is not a coincidence. You have captured these in your destiny, so you chose that A restaurant.

What's the purpose?Is it to test whether the poor monk can interfere with your prediction of the fate line?Or do you want to use this crude method to attract the attention of the officials and Taoist sects in Yuezhou City?So leave a clue?Indirectly broadcast our position to the outside world? "

The old monk's tone was calm and he sighed:

"And those previous topics, whether they angered me or talked about the secrets of rebirth, they were all just tests."

Ji Ping'an smiled, without any surprise at being exposed:

"What if it is, what if it isn't?"

Lord Buddha shook his head and said:
"No one will spread the news. Everyone who saw us today will not remember any trace of our existence."

Ji Ping'an rubbed his brows with a headache and said, "It seems that I really have no choice."

Lord Buddha smiled and said: "As long as the national master cooperates, there will naturally be no danger."

Ji Pingan said angrily: "Don't mention the word 'cooperation' to me, it's annoying!"

Lord Buddha was stunned for a moment, but he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.

The temptation in the city was like an interlude. After that, Ji Pingan didn't take the initiative to say anything anymore, and the two of them just walked in the dark night.

Until daybreak, after putting away the lantern, the Lord Buddha identified the direction and turned into a new road.

the next few days.

Ji Ping'an didn't do anything anymore. He seemed to have "accepted his fate" and followed the Buddha.

On the way, they bought two horses and rode on them.

The autumn wind was rustling, and an old man and a young man were riding horses in the autumn, sometimes sleeping in the open air, sometimes going into the city to buy something to eat and drink.

It seemed as if they were just two ordinary travelers on their way.

Lord Buddha almost didn't use his magic power anymore.

It was clear that he could use magic to take Ji Ping'an to any place in Kyushu in a very short time, but he strangely chose to walk.

Just like a real mortal.

"Where are we going? Can't we fly there? I'm a little annoyed," Ji Ping'an said while riding on horseback:

"Aren't you going to seek Buddhist scriptures? A round trip is enough, so you have to walk slowly."

Lord Buddha held the reins and rode his horse. He smiled and did not answer directly, but asked:
"What does the Imperial Master mean by learning scriptures?"

"...You don't understand." Ji Pingan was too lazy to tell him.

After being promoted to sit well, as a star officer, his soul power expanded, and his need for sleep was greatly reduced.

The same is true for Lord Buddha.

The two traveled day and night, and soon went southeast and entered a mountainous area.

In early winter, leaves fall all over the mountains, and the sky is higher than usual.

As they deviated from the official road, the surrounding towns began to decrease. At Ji Ping'an's suggestion, the two simply joined a caravan and moved forward together.

It is convenient to eat.

In fact, in this era, most people who take long-distance routes will choose to travel with caravans. It is already a mature business and can obtain protection and blessing.

Of course Lord Buddha is not worried about what a group of mortals will expose.

In fact, the longer the two of them travel together.

In other words, the closer he got to his so-called "destination", the less smile appeared on the face of this monk who stood at the top of the world.

He began to wander frequently, chanting sutras, and often stared at the sky in a daze, motionless, and even the frequency of his speech was decreasing.

If I had to describe it in one word, it would be...pious!
Yes, there were many times when Ji Ping'an saw piety in the other person's demeanor.

This made him more and more curious about Lord Buddha's purpose.

However, the journey was long, and compared to chatting with an old monk who silently chanted sutras all day long, it was obviously better to relieve boredom by talking to those mortals.

Ji Ping'an easily got along with the people in the caravan and established a good impression.

What impressed me most was the group of bodyguards who protected the caravan.

The leader is an old escort who looks like he is in his fifties. He is not tall and doesn't talk much, but he is a solid martial arts practitioner.

Of course, his level is not high, he has just broken through the ranks, but in the world of mortals, he is already considered a first-rate master.

Next to the old escort, there was a woman with slender legs, wearing a sarong, and carrying two swords. She was naturally her daughter.

In the Yuezhou Jianghu, perhaps because the local Yue Nv Sword Sect is more famous, there are more female warriors in the Jianghu and the atmosphere is more open.

The old escort's daughter has a melon-shaped face, and her hair is said to be imitated in the style of northern barbarians. It is braided into a bunch of loose braids and tied with colorful hair ropes.

He has a cheerful and generous personality, and his wheat-colored skin looks a bit rough due to exposure to wind and sun, but when he smiles, his teeth are as white as snow.

I don’t know her real name. I only know that she calls people in the escort team “Cai’er”.

After the two entered the caravan, Cai'er showed special concern for Ji Ping'an. She would often go over to give him some food and chat casually while cooking.

When I'm usually on the road, I look over there from time to time.

The old escort saw all this in his eyes. When he was resting at night, he pulled his daughter aside and warned:

"Stop staring at people."

Cai'er was stunned for a moment, even though she was a child of Jianghu, she still showed a little coyness:

"I wasn't looking at him."

The old escort said silently: "My father didn't tell me who it was, so you're just asking for it."

Cai'er suddenly blushed in embarrassment and was speechless.

The old escort sighed, turned to look at the old man and the young man sitting cross-legged by the campfire in the distance, and said:

"These two people are not simple. Those who dare to walk outside in the world have some reliance on them, especially monks, women, and children. They are the most careful."

Cai'er stomped her feet angrily: "Where are there so many bad people..."

The old escort sighed helplessly and explained:
"The meaning of being a father is that the monk is not an ordinary person. At such an old age, he is not tired at all these days. I'm afraid he has time and energy, and he may be a guard for the big family. As for the young master, although he is dressed up He is simple, but his words and deeds are definitely not simple. We, the Jianghu people, should not mess with him."

Cai'er heard what was going on behind the scenes, but just ran to the bonfire in silence.

Looking at the two people sitting opposite each other, silently holding a branch on the ground and playing chess on the dirt grid, they blinked their smart eyes and asked:

"Hey! You are not ordinary people!"

Ji Pingan, who was holding the branch, raised his head and smiled:

"correct."

He pointed at the old monk opposite: "He is very powerful."

Lord Buddha lowered his eyebrows and became accustomed to the master's temper along the way. He smiled and did not refute.

Cai'er was stunned for a moment, her eyes rolled, she looked at the old monk, and she mustered up the courage to guess:

"I see that you don't have the energy to practice martial arts. Are you a practitioner?"

Lord Buddha smiled and nodded: "Yes."

Cai'er snorted and didn't show much concern:
"I have also met several practitioners, including monks from the Qi Sect and immortal masters canonized by the Tao Sect. So what level are you at? Have you broken through the ninth level?"

She had a sense of exploration. After all, her father had barely managed to squeeze into the Pojiu Realm, and his vision was naturally higher than that of ordinary people.

Lord Buddha smiled and nodded: "It's higher than this."

"How high?" Cai'er asked.

Lord Buddha smiled and pointed at himself and then at Ji Ping'an:
"Jinzo. Have you heard of it? We all are."

Cai'er was startled, and then curled her lips: "If you don't want to, forget it, the monk is also full of lies."

Then he turned around and left with disdain. Lord Buddha laughed when he saw this. Ji Ping'an also shook his head and said:

"Monks don't lie. You are a divine being, but I am not yet."

The Lord Buddha smiled and said: "With the title of 'National Master', he is no weaker than any other god."

Quite good at flattering... Ji Ping'an sighed and suddenly said with a smile:

"Let's have a discussion."
