Chapter 235: Are you going to chop me with this knife?
Tui Huo Road, this is the road Zuo Chen took when he entered Xuzhou from Qingzhou last year.
It’s just that when he took this road back then, Zuo Chen didn’t know the name and thought it was just a deserted road with few people.
Before leaving this morning, the soldier also specifically told the origin of the name of this road:
When the ghost disaster occurred in Kyoto more than 20 years ago, Xuzhou and Qingzhou were still My family, at that time, Qingzhou was delivering goods to Xuzhou, and there was a heavy rain. No one repaired this old dirt road, and many delivery wheels got stuck in the mud pit.
Later, villagers from two states came here to push and pull goods, so that the truck could continue to move.
The Xuzhou general who was responsible for guarding the customs thought this was a good thing, so he named it Pushing Cargo Road.
Later, a student came and felt that the word "pushing goods" was too simple and crude, without any sense of beauty, so he changed "huo" to "huo", which meant that wild vegetables were plentiful on both sides of the road and needed to be pushed. Only when you drive can you walk, hoping that the weather in Xuzhou will be good and ordinary people will be able to eat without eating wild vegetables on the roadside.
Who would have known that there would be a disaster in Xuzhou later, not to mention the "Huo" on the roadside, not even the grass roots could be eaten.
After the disaster, the long road that originally symbolized the friendship between the two states turned into a route for transporting troops from Qingzhou, making the whole thing very ironic.
Zuo Chen felt that this incident might be enough to be included in the short biography that Miao Tao and the others would publish in the future.
Looking around, there are a lot of vegetation on both sides of the road now. The trees are green in the spring, and the birds and animals are chirping. It feels like a new life. With the warm sunshine in spring, the road is even more beautiful. Bright and charming.
The sun is nice today and the clouds are white. Walking on the road can make you feel better.
When I came here last time, both sides of the road were still deserted. The ears of merit wheat that Zuo Chen later gave to the monk were also picked from here.
Looking back now, there is an inexplicable fate in it.
"Taoist Master, you have been here before. According to you, how long do we have to go?"
Bao Liancai asked Zuo Chen on the donkey cart.
Zuo Chen thought about it.
When I came here last time, I had just come down the mountain, and I was not very good at shrinking into an inch. It almost took me seven or eight days to get to the village from this road.
Now that we are familiar with each other and have a deeper understanding of Taoism, coupled with Mr. Lu, the speed is much faster.
"I guess three or four days."
Zuo Chen said.
Bao Lian was relieved a lot.
He could also see that his team was moving much faster than usual.
It must be the Taoist priest’s handiwork.
Just relax and look around, it looks like the current scenery of Xuzhou.
Suddenly,
He frowned slightly and walked towards the distance of the road.
Over there...
There seems to be someone?
Only at this moment did Bao Lian finally see clearly that at the end of this dirt road, there were five horses approaching.
On the horseback, sat five knights in full armor.
They are Xuzhou soldiers!
......
"General, wouldn't it be good to take so many people out? How dangerous would it be if we were ambushed?"
General Zhonglang, who was leading General Tiandao, spoke urgently, trying to stop General Tiandao who was about to go out.
General Tiandao just gave him a cold look:
"Then what should I do? See some of the things you have prepared?"
Listen As soon as he said this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
The outside is gold and jade, and the inside is ruined.
There really hasn't been a war in the north of Qingzhou for a long time. The soldiers' energy is far inferior to that in the south. The same is true for this camp.
If General Tiandao is willing to pretend to be confused, then this matter will be over.
Unfortunately, General Tiandao did not intend to do this.
Seeing General Tiandao staring at him, General Zhonglang did not dare to speak and retreated to the back.
Until he was completely gone, General Tiandao spat at the ground next to him:
"His grandma is really stupid. He can't even understand what I mean! He's not as good as that inspector!"
"General, don't be angry." General Tiandao's lieutenant pulled the reins and drove his horse to the general's side. , smiled and said: "People in the army are no better than civil servants, and most of them are dull-minded. Why don't we take a walk around this camp? Look for more of his loopholes. You can put pressure on him and start looking for them tonight. Talk to him carefully, I believe he will realize your good intentions.”
It’s better to listen to what your lieutenant said!
General Tiandao nodded, and the anger in his heart dissipated.
For such an unintelligent person, you have to tap your finger on his head three times. If he can become enlightened, it will be good for everyone. If he cannot become enlightened, his sergeant's cap will also be knocked off. Went down.
He just took a few of his cronies and walked out of the camp, intending to go around the area to find out where the troops stationed here were failing.
Walking along the camp tent and along the dirt road, every time we passed a place, the adjutants would take out carbon sticks and large rice paper, use their hands to pad them, and record on them.
We walked for half a day, gradually walking further and further away. When we came back to our senses, the sun was shining brightly and we had already walked out of the camp.
"I ran a little far." The adjutant looked around and found a long road ahead. He reacted for a moment and then patted his forehead:
"This should be the pushing road, right? .”
"This name is not very nice, not elegant at all." General Tiandao commented: "Let's go on the way, I remember saying, we can turn back to the camp in a while."
Listening to General Tiandao, a few people Riding forward, we soon reached this long road.
When the horses' hooves stepped on the road, General Tiandao took out a small sachet from his arms, beat it with a fire stick, lit it, and threw it on the road.
This is an arrow avoidance technique. It is used when the wind blows around and the arrows are not close. It is specially used to counter ambush.
I heard the general muttering before that there were many thieves in Xuzhou on this road. Although General Tiandao is conceited, he is not a fool. It is easy to block open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows. If the boat really capsizes in the gutter, what share will he share? The shame will be deeply engraved on his life history. If he takes it out in the future, he will probably be laughed at all day long.
"Okay, it should be fine now." After doing all this, General Tiandao took the reins with peace of mind and wanted to drive away.
Suddenly, he turned his head slightly and saw a donkey cart approaching not far away.
Not a donkey cart,
a small caravan.
The two sides collided head on.
General Tiandao frowned slightly.
What we encountered on the road...
Is it a caravan disguised as a thieves from Xuzhou?
......
Zuo Chen's eyes fell on the leader of the five soldiers.
Exquisite armor, carefully grown beard, beautiful and impressive helmet.
The most important thing is the knife on his waist. This knife looked very familiar to Zuo Chen.
Isn’t this the knife that Liu Laizi threw away?
You can also clearly see that there is a stream of true Qi left by you on it.
He stared at the general with strange eyes.
I really didn’t expect that I would actually meet General Tiandao here!
I can’t say whether it was a coincidence or the subtle energy attached to the sword that attracted General Tiandao to his master.
General Tiandao and the others looked at each other, whispered a few words, and then rode towards them.
“Who are you?”
General Tiandao came to Zuo Chen and his group, condescending.
“It’s just a businessman from outside.” Zuo Chen said with a smile.
General Tiandao frowned immediately.
A foreign trader?
Are there Taoist priests and girls among the merchants?
Who are you kidding here?
"Your Excellency, are you the Heavenly Sword General?" Zuo Chen suddenly asked, and the Heavenly Sword General's eyes immediately showed a vigilant look.
"Do you know me?"
"I know your sword." Zuo Chen stretched out his finger and pointed at the sword on General Tiandao's waist, and said honestly.
“You know this sword? But have you heard of my great military exploits?”
"Not really." Zuo Chen shook his head: "I gave you this sword."
General Tiandao: "?"
"This sword of yours is rich in golden glory. The Qi can break steel and iron, but the Qi Qi cannot be stained with blood. Once it is stained with blood, the Qi Qi will be broken." Zuo Chen said honestly: "You are quite interesting. , after holding this sword for so long, it didn’t get any blood at all.”
General Tian Sword was horrified!
What does this mean?
Did he get my knife?
Will the Taoist conduct be destroyed if it is stained with blood?
General Tiandao thought of the dark feeling in his heart, and was confused.
To this day, he still feels that way, that his sword cannot touch blood.
It coincides with what the other party said!
Who is this Taoist priest? !
As a battle-hardened general, General Tiandao suppressed his emotions and shouted coldly in a low voice:
"Who are you? What do you want to do?"
"I didn't think so. What are you doing?" Zuo Chen said, "I just want to ask you to retreat. After all, I don't want to increase the number of killings."
General Tiandao's face became more and more gloomy.
He stared at Zuo Chen, his thoughts extremely complicated.
He obviously looks like an ordinary Taoist, and he obviously looks young.
But General Tiandao had a feeling.
You must listen to this man!
But why?
Is there an ambush around?
Or,
the Taoist himself is of high enough standard?
General Tiandao's expression changed gloomily several times, and finally he spit out one word from his mouth:
"Okay."
General Tiandao's adjutant glanced at him in surprise, but said nothing and followed General Tiandao obediently.
Bao Liancai had a puzzled expression on his face.
Were you really persuaded to leave?
Something seems wrong.
“Thank you very much.”
After saying that, Zuo Chen waved his hand and asked Bao Lancai to drive away, as if he really no longer cared about him.
Seeing Zuo Chen passing by him, General Tiandao stared at him for two or three seconds.
My sword cannot be stained with blood...
This person cannot be dealt with...
These thoughts lingered in the mind of General Tiandao, and he did start to think about it.
Should I really go back to Qingzhou?
But what followed was layers of karmic fire emerging from his chest.
For a moment, General Tiandao seemed to feel as if someone was whispering to him next to his ear, chanting in a low voice:
“You should kill him.
"Use this heavenly sword in your hand!
"You are the person of destiny, the destination of heaven. This heavenly sword was given to you by heaven and has nothing to do with this person.
"Think about it carefully, as a general, after you take the heavenly sword, Instead, they tied their hands and killed fewer people this year.
“Can you guarantee that this knife will not be stained with blood from now on?
“You can’t.
"In this way, you will be even more constrained, and until the end, you will completely rely on this knife."
"Then what should I do?" General Tiandao didn't know where the voice came from, but he just felt that what he said was very reasonable.
“You beheaded this Taoist priest.
“This heavenly sword in your hand.
“Only by sacrificing the sword with the blood of a Taoist priest, can the heavenly sword become self-contained and unrestrained!”
Suddenly stretched out his hand, drew the sword directly, aimed it at Zuo Chen’s neck and chopped it Passed by!
I know whether he is stubborn and wants to prove what Zuo Chen said is wrong, or whether he is simply murderous.
The knife he used was none other than Zuo Chen’s Qi breath!
“Crack!”
The sound of gold and iron interlacing sounded, and General Tian Dao felt his tiger’s mouth go numb, and it burst open.
He stared at Zuo Chen in front of him in shock.
Zuo Chen didn't even move, he just sat on the donkey cart.
The neck that General Tiandao slashed just now was intact, with no scars at all.
It’s doubled today, please give me a monthly ticket
