Chapter 175: Fierce flames spread across
the sky, in October, the thirty-fifth year of the Han Dynasty.
Yuzhou City.
The city is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus.
In a courtyard somewhere in Yuzhou City, Chen Luo was lying leisurely in the courtyard.
Occasionally eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
Take a sip of wine once in a while.
There is nothing better to enjoy life than this.
Especially the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in Yuzhou City, which I haven’t eaten in decades. Today, when I eat it, the feeling of the past and the memories of the past come back.
The flying general turned into a normal goshawk, lying on the peach tree in the courtyard.
Yawn occasionally.
Occasionally, he looked up at Chen Luo.
The feathers on his body fluttered, making a rustling sound like metal, and there were faint sparks flickering on them.
Strangely enough, the flying general was originally just an ordinary goshawk, but he
came into Chen Luo's field of vision because of fate.
By chance, he opened his spiritual wisdom and became Chen Luo's spiritual beast... and also became the experimental subject for Chen Luo's practice of beast control.
But even if his spiritual wisdom is turned on, he is just an ordinary goshawk.
Since that moment of realization in Xianyang, Chen Luo transformed into the spring breeze and traveled throughout the land of Qin and Zhou. Under the flame of that finger, the flying general underwent a brand new transformation from top to bottom.
The gray hair turned red.
In the midst of soaring, fire appeared under his feet and made a crackling sound.
Even the feathers have the presence of flaming stars.
This can no longer be called a goshawk...
but Chen Luo doesn't know what it is specifically.
What was going on in that state, and how it was possible to do it, I am still at a loss.
Fortunately...
Chen Luo is heart-warming.
Don't worry about things you don't understand.
Just like the mysterious items in the body.
Three out of five.
Decades have passed...
Even though he knew where Shushan Road and Wenxin Pavilion were, he had no intention of looking for them.
Not being in a hurry is one reason.
The biggest reason is that whether it is the southern border or the northern border, it is really difficult to get there...
In addition, there are more and more legends about white ghosts and frost giants, and Chen Luo is really unwilling to take risks.
Immortality...
is it immortality, or immortality, immortality? Chen Luo has not yet had the courage to test it.
After all, I am afraid of death!
It is an embarrassment to the majority of time travelers...
3 months ago.
Chen Luo walked out of the Sutra Pavilion of Bodhidharma Temple. After leaving the temple, Chen Luo went down the mountain and found the flying general.
Then came all the way.
In the middle, I went to Penglai Xianfang,
which was a pleasant surprise.
Back then, I raised a lot of fish in the pond in the courtyard, originally for food. However, within a hundred years, a carp with intelligence appeared in it.
Chen Luo thought for a moment.
Give it a hint of magic.
Then I ignored it, caught some fish and left.
The meat of these fish is plump and plump, and every bite is a pleasure.
The Cat Lady likes fish...
fish, mice, and books...
these are her three most important things.
There is nothing that Chen Luo can do about it. As a master, he can still satisfy her with books and fish.
So Chen Luo caught more.
A storage bag filled to the brim.
When the time comes, give it to her, and she will definitely be happy.
When he is happy, he might turn into a human form. When he turns into a human form, he might... Jie Jie Jie...
Chen Luo's smile gradually became abnormal and
he slapped himself.
He called himself a pervert.
That's just a cat!
That's your disciple!
You actually want to beat her and cry... She's not human anymore.
As for the harvest from Kue Mountain, Chen Luo thought that this was probably the biggest harvest he had ever received in these years.
Bodhidharma is said to have three hundred unique skills.
These three hundred unique skills are all hidden in the Sutra Pavilion.
In addition to these unique skills, there are also thirty thousand Buddhist scriptures...
Chen Luo likes to read books.
Taoist books.
Buddhism is a book.
Miscellaneous Studies.
Confucianism.
Four Arts.
Biographies of princes.
Wait...
Maybe it was a habit developed in the Kyoto Library. Chen Luo loved reading.
No matter how busy I am over the years, I always take time to watch it for about an hour.
Occasionally there are gains.
Occasionally not.
Chen Luo was not in a hurry. If he really read books for the sake of harvest, he would end up in a bad situation.
In two years, Chen Luo read most of the Buddhist scriptures.
A lot has been gained.
Even a lot.
Buddhism and Taoism are originally one family... just because of different concepts and different paths chosen, in the end they took two completely different paths.
But the three thousand avenues all return to the same origin.
Buddhism and Taoism naturally have something in common.
So...
within two years, Chen Luo's Eight Patterns Golden Pill naturally entered the Nine Patterns and
Nine Realms foundation building, and it was completed in an instant.
As for the three hundred unique skills, Chen Luo has learned them all.
Just the deduction took a long time...
Later, Chen Luo couldn't help but go down the mountain.
There's no way...
it causes visions all the time, and it's really not his formal style.
Later, a formation was arranged, but some of it was inevitably leaked.
But the most rewarding thing is the formation in Ku'e Mountain...
Chen Luo spent a long time to have a vague understanding of that formation.
Too bad it's too profound.
Somewhat similar to the Buddhist saying that one grain of sand is one world.
There is a way to form a boundary with Sumeru.
It's not that simple to study...
Fortunately, I have learned a little bit, and now I am waiting for intensive research and experiments.
Maybe one day I can really learn that formation.
If you can learn it... you will have the possibility to create the world within the formation.
That... is the real immortal method.
It's a pity...
The formation in Ku'e Mountain is not to create the world, but to forcibly change the environment with the help of formation and manpower.
There are so many problems in the process that it is difficult to describe them all, so I won’t go into them at all.
As for leaving without saying goodbye... the main reason was that Chen Luo didn't want to cause trouble.
Bodhidharma and himself have a karmic relationship.
They gain something.
I also gained something.
When you have to leave, you will leave naturally...there is no need for any reason.
...
"It's just a peerless magic weapon. There aren't many bad things now... There's only one left, the blood of the common people?"
Lying on the chair.
The chair rocked.
Chen Luo enjoyed it leisurely.
He muttered.
"The spirit of the four seas, the spirit of the seabed, the Five Elements Spirit Pearl, the Kunlun Black Iron... Over the past few decades, with the help of Jin Yiwei and Hong Xiuzhao, I have almost collected them all. There are still two or three
items missing.
Among them, the most important The trouble is the blood of the common people... huh? There is another one? Morning and night spirit dew? What the hell is this thing?"
Chen Luo suddenly became confused.
He thought that there was only one Blood of Common People left, so why was there still one Soul Dew of Morning and Night?
But...
"You can tell at a glance that this blood of the common people is the most difficult to find. If Chaoxi Linglu says it, it's not that difficult to think about... If you can't do it then, go to Shushan and ask Li Qiuliang. That guy should understand. I seem to have heard it before
. He mentioned it!"
Chen Luo thought.
Suddenly a little boy ran in with a poop.
There was also a bun in his hand.
"Grandpa Chen, Grandpa Chen..."
he shouted.
Because he ran too fast, he fell directly to the ground with a plop.
He responded quickly.
The bun was held high by him, but it didn't fall.
It doesn't hurt either.
Don't cry either.
He stood up and dusted himself off.
He wiped the runny nose with his sleeve again.
He smiled and came to Chen Luo with the bun in hand.
"Grandpa Chen, here are your favorite vegetable buns... I secretly hid this, and I wanted to eat it myself!" The
little boy's name was Yang Xiaokai.
He is the grandson of Yang Zhiwen.
It's just that Yang Zhiwen left... died a few years ago...
but his son Yang Bucheng inherited his mantle and became a policeman in Yuzhou City.
This Yang Xiaokai is his youngest son, six years old this year.
Chen Luo squinted his eyes and looked at Yang Xiaokai with a smile. Instead of picking up the buns, he looked out the door: "Come in, you guys, Grandpa Chen, is not that old. Zheng Sanniu, your legs are exposed... Yes, Zheng Datou, your forehead is exposed."
Then...
there was a crash.
Seven or eight children poured in outside the door.
About the same age.
They are all five or six years old.
It's just that these children were all covered in mud, as if they had just crawled out of the mud.
"Hello Grandpa Chen!"
"Grandpa Chen has been discovered by you!"
"Grandpa Chen, my name is not Datou, my name is Dacheng!"
the children shouted.
The man named Big Head complained to his companions:
"I told you that hiding is useless. You still don't believe it. Do you believe me now?"
"Didn't you hide too?"
"You didn't say that. Are you going to hide?"
"Haha!"
"Brother Xiaokai just fell like a dog eating shit. It was so funny!"
Yang Xiaokai:? ? ?
A group of people were talking, but their hands were not idle at all. Some were pulling out from the body, some from the crotch, and some from the stomach.
There are fish.
There are loaches and crabs.
There are even a lot of big frogs.
They were put on the ground, and when they were free again, some began to snap and flap their tails, and some started to run and swim around.
Frogs are the fastest.
They started running around in the yard,
and now they were anxious. ,
shouting "my frog, my fish, my loach, my crab..." and
started to catch it in a hurry.
Chen Luo loves to be clean.
So his yard was clean...
but now in the blink of an eye, there was a mud mark here, a mark there...the frog even ran into Chen Luo's arms.
Seeing the children running around and catching frogs all over the yard, Chen Luo's forehead suddenly turned dark.
Some even climbed up trees...
"Zheng Xiaoyao, stop plucking, you're going to rip off the hair of the flying general!"
Chen Luo shouted.
The little girl called Zheng Xiaoyao was holding the flying general who was accidentally captured in her arms. There was a feather in the little girl's mouth...
After hearing Chen Luo's words, the little girl looked at the flying general with some regret. After pulling down another feather, he let the flying general go, and then he slid down the peach tree, leaving long muddy traces on the trunk.
Chen Luo's head got a little bigger.
"Tell me, what are you going to do?"
This group of boys are all Zheng He's grandsons...
That guy is pretty awesome.
He said he wanted to have several fat sons, but he actually gave birth to seven in recent years...
forget it.
And ten daughters!
In other words, the guy gave birth to seventeen children!
That guy...
When he found out about this when he returned to Yuzhou City, Chen Luo almost slapped him to death.
It’s so damn good!
And these children are his grandchildren.
As soon as they heard Chen Luo's words, a group of little kids rushed to shout.
It means that they went out to grab these things and give them to Grandpa Chen...
and then said in a cryptic way.
When they were just catching fish, they were accidentally seen by Yang Xiaokai's father, hoping that Chen Luo could save them.
Yang Xiaokai's father and grandfather will definitely come over later.
I hope Chen Luo can say something nice...
"Grandpa Chen, please!"
Yang Xiaokai held the buns in both hands, and
the rest were either holding frogs or crabs...
They all looked at Chen eagerly. fall.
And...it's strange that he knows how to be a good person, he knows how to ask for help, and he can't be empty-handed.
"Okay, leave it to me!"
Chen Luo took the bun and started eating it.
After all, it’s about kindness.
Don't see your child being scolded.
quickly.
There were footsteps outside the yard.
It's Zheng He and Yang Bucheng.
As soon as he came in, Yang Bucheng's face darkened when he saw a group of little kids covered in mud.
"Master Chen..."
"Master Chen..."
Zheng He and Yang Bucheng saluted.
"Let's ask someone to take them back first,"
Chen Luo said.
Soon, women came in and took the children away, including the daughters-in-law of the Zheng family and the Yang family.
When leaving, Yang Xiaokai and the others secretly gave Chen Luo a wink.
Chen Luo understood.
He patted his chest.
It probably means: "Grandpa Chen will protect you all."
They were immediately relieved.
This time when I go back, I won’t have to eat fried meat with bamboo shoots.
Wait until they leave the yard.
Chen Luo turned around and asked Zheng He and Yang Bucheng, "Do you have any bamboo sticks at home?"
The two were slightly startled.
nodded.
"Yes..."
"Well, I'm afraid you don't have enough at home. I'll get some for you later. They will definitely be thick and painful!" "
Then thank you, Mr. Chen."
"You're welcome, they If you ask for it, remember to fight me to death!"
Two people: ...
are those bastards at home still aware of this?
That really satisfies them.
In fact, it's not that Zheng He and Yang Bucheng are making a fuss, it's just that Yuzhou City has been a little unstable recently.
A lot of things happened.
The place where Yang Xiaokai and the others went to catch fish today is called Yuqing River.
Yuqing River is a river outside Yuzhou City...
The flow of water is not large at ordinary times.
The water is also extremely clear.
Children usually like to play there...
but since people drowned there, more and more people have died in the river.
In just five or six years, at least a dozen people died.
There are adults too.
There are kids too.
What's even weirder is that they all died at night...
So when they heard that their children had gone into the water, they were naturally extremely scared.
It's a pity...
After many times of persuasion, these little bastards never took it to heart.
I always feel that this is not a big deal,
of course.
This may be what the naughty children have in common... They still don't understand what this death means.
"Many people have died in Yu Qinghe over the years? Does anyone say what happened?"
Chen Luo asked.
Zheng He said: "There have been many deaths. I remember the first one was a woman. That woman was Luo Yuanwai's concubine in the city. When she was found dead, the whole city was frightened. The woman was tied up and her skin was soaked. Bai, her face was even more ferocious and terrifying.
The government official said that the concubine was killed by a ghost. From that moment on, many drowning cases began to appear in the Yuqing River!" "She
was killed by a ghost. ?"
Yang Bucheng sneered: "What the hell? That was Luo Yuanwai who was killed... It's just that Luo Yuanwai was a nobleman from Yuzhou City, and his family had a great relationship with the capital. I heard that the concubine of King Liang was... Luo Yuanwai's sister is in Yuzhou City, and he doesn't even dare to offend the prefect, let alone the Yamen? Moreover
, that girl is his concubine. As a concubine, the government can't decide whether to kill or not..."
Chen Luo nodded.
"There are no monks to deal with it?"
"How could
there be no one?" Zheng He said: "There were several before and after... but several died. When we got to the back, no one left..." "It seems that there is something wrong with
Yu Qinghe. Something."
Chen Luo smiled.
Chatted with the two for a while.
Seeing that it was getting late, Zheng He and the others respectfully left.
Regarding Chen Luo, both the Zheng family and the Yang family respect Chen Luo very much.
Especially when Zheng He
knew that Chen Luo had to run away when he came back.
A man in his eighties.
I fell down several times on the way here.
When he saw Chen Luo, he hugged Chen Luo's thigh directly... and insisted on drinking with Chen Luo.
The Zheng family is still an ordinary family now.
But there are already more than forty people in the family...
It's not that the Zheng family has no money.
On the contrary, he had money,
but Zheng He still insisted on not disclosing his wealth. He felt that it was okay to have money, but it was not good to publicize it.
As a result, the Zheng family has been developing in a low-key manner over the years.
There are more and more people.
In the eyes of outsiders...the Zheng family is a well-off family.
Being rich... doesn't count.
Starve to death... just
ordinary people can't.
This is what Zheng He wants.
This is also what Chen Luo thinks is good.
It's good to be ordinary, and it's good to be low-key, so Chen Luo met the descendants of the Zheng family and the Yang family.
Don’t say anything else.
At least for now, Chen Luo is sure that the descendants of the Zheng family will not forget Ben within three generations.
As for three generations later, this is a hurdle.
What will happen depends on the fate of the Zheng family and their education.
As for the Yang family...it has been passed down through three generations.
They're all pretty good too.
But Yu Qinghe...
Chen Luo smiled.
If I have nothing to do tomorrow, I will go fishing in the Yuqing River. I think it will be very good.
...
This night,
the Zheng family.
As usual, after nightfall, everyone went to bed early to rest.
Maybe there are some differences.
That's the night tonight, much brighter.
Crunch...
In the silent night, Zheng Xiaoyao opened the door and walked out of Zheng's house.
She closed her eyes.
Nor spoke.
No shoes on either.
Just walking quietly on the street...
It's strange to say that
the soldiers guarding the city gate were energetic for a second, but gradually they yawned, and finally fell asleep against the wall. He was dead, and he didn't even see Xiaoyao walking out of the city gate.
She just walked in vain, and
finally came to the bank of Yuqing River.
Quietly, after staring at the river in a daze for a few seconds, he then stepped forward, stepping on the water, and walked towards the river.
It was also the moment it entered the water.
A red feather on Xiao Yao's body suddenly glowed.
That's flame!
The flame was red...
extremely dazzling under the night light.
...
East of the city.
Chen Luo fell into the courtyard.
The flying general who had been sleeping in the tree suddenly woke up, let out a cry, and then his whole body burned with flames and flew towards the Yuqing River.
This night...
there were flames across the sky, piercing the night.
