Chapter 215: All the heroes have arrived
Zhao Yushu yawned, sat in front of the fire, stared at a fat sheep on the rack, and turned the wooden stick from time to time to prevent it from being burnt.
The old eunuch claimed that he was old and went to rest in the tent early. Zhao Yushu refused the servant's request to do it for him and insisted on roasting it himself.
Roasted whole lamb was a feast in my previous life, but why is it roasting so slowly? I am even a little sleepy.
Old man Wuxi sat opposite him, poking the mutton with a wooden stick from time to time with a bit of impatience. The tears that unconsciously flowed from the corners of his mouth betrayed his inner feelings.
"Please stop poking it. This whole roasted lamb is meant to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. If you poke it, the meat inside won't be tender anymore. How can you be so impatient at your age?"
Old Man Wuxi snorted coldly, put down the stick, and simply closed his eyes to meditate and regulate his breathing, believing that out of sight, out of mind.
"I said, I see you have been following me for so long and haven't had a hot meal. I kindly invited you to have a good meal, but you didn't even say thank you, but you didn't even give me a thank you gift. Aren't you afraid that your Taoism will be unstable?"
Old Man Wuxi opened his eyes and said, "Among the gentlemen in the academy, is there anyone as shameless as you?"
"Yes, Gu Changfeng shamelessly asked me to teach him how to blow smoke rings, and his sister-in-law even cheated me out of money."
Old man Wuxi's face twitched, and something in his heart seemed to make a shattering sound.
The roasted lamb was ready. Old man Wuxi took a front leg without hesitation. The hind legs were snatched away by Zhao Yushu at the beginning. He took one for himself and left one for the old eunuch.
"I have already eaten. You suddenly showed up to let me see you, not just to let me treat you to a leg of lamb, right? What's the matter?"
The old man Wu Xi tore off a piece of meat, chewed it slowly and swallowed it into his stomach: "I don't plan to kill you anymore."
"Oh, so good? Duke Yue is planning to default on his debt?"
"I said, could you please not be so vulgar? You are a teacher of the academy after all."
"It's not the case in Wangjiang Tower."
Old Man Wuxi said disdainfully: "You are deceiving yourself. If you hadn't been concerned about the academy, you wouldn't even be able to leave Wangjiang Tower."
Zhao Yushu had to admit that he was telling the truth. Even now, deep down in his heart he still hoped that the old man or the senior brother would come to save him.
"You were right last time. With that old man here, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to kill you even if I follow you to Xijing. It's a waste of time."
"At this distance, if you want to kill me, I'm afraid even the teacher can't stop you."
"Huh, then what? Like you, you kill people without caring about the consequences?"
Zhao Yushu spread his hands and said, "If you say so, then there is nothing to talk about."
"Since I can't kill him, I might as well do you a favor. That bald donkey from Dabei Temple left Dongdu and went to Xijing. It's probably related to you."
Zhao Yushu's smile disappeared immediately. The teacher was forced to leave Jiangning because this old monk went to Dongdu. Even the eldest brother was not sure to keep an eye on him. And he suddenly went to Xijing. It was obvious that he went to see the emperor.
"Where did you get the news?"
"Bullshit, how can I tell you my own way? This old eunuch is very powerful, I am not sure I can beat him, but if that bald donkey takes action, hmph."
Zhao Yushu thought for a moment and said, "Hehe, I don't believe my life is so valuable that I'm willing to let the emperor bleed profusely to ask the old monk for help."
"That's your problem. Okay, the lamb leg is good. If you can still leave Xijing alive in the future, roast another one for me. You inside, stop pretending to be asleep. I'm leaving now."
The flames suddenly rose, and Zhao Yushu blinked subconsciously, but there was no trace of old man Wuxi in front of him.
"Here, I'll keep it for you." Zhao Yushu held one of its hind legs over his head and took it with one hand: "It really left, but don't be afraid. Even if the abbot of Dabei Temple arrives, I can still stop him for a while. How far you can run by then depends on your own ability."
The arrival of the abbot of Dabei Temple in Dongdu was a major event.
And his leaving Dongdu was an even more significant event.
Because he left on his own initiative.
As one of the most powerful cultivators in the world, he is one of the few who is particularly keen on interfering in the affairs of the mortal world. Although he rarely appears in the world, once he does, it will definitely cause bloody storms in the mortal world, such as the coup d'état twenty years ago.
But no one can say that he is a devil. The Dabei Temple is full of compassion and the old abbot is respected by people wherever he goes. Unless he has to, he rarely hurts people, let alone kills people.
When he came to Dongdu, Gu Changfeng not only did not dare to move, but was also forced to ask his teacher for help, which directly led to Zhao Yushu fighting against the heroes of the southeast alone in Jiangning.
He invited the old madman to a small gathering. No one knew what they talked about or did. The next day, he left Dongdu and appeared in Xijing.
The old madman never showed up.
Gu Changfeng couldn't bear it anymore, so he grabbed Wei You and asked the teacher where the cat was. Wei You imitated his junior brother and spread his hands: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I really don't know."
"Impossible! He is the closest to you!"
"Big Brother, you have to believe that if the teacher wants to see you, he will find you even if you don't look for him."
"Bah! Did he secretly go to rescue Junior Brother?"
Wei You struggled for a while, and Gu Changfeng slowly put him down from mid-air. Wei You straightened his clothes and said, "Since you said you won't save him, the teacher will definitely not save him. He trusts you very much in this regard."
"So what is he doing now?"
"I still say the same thing. I don't know either, but I guess he might have gone to Xijing."
Xijing?
Academy, Dabei Temple, Shu Mountain, Kunlun Mountain, and Longhu Mountain.
Two of the top five masters in the world went to Xijing. If I were the emperor, I would probably not be able to sleep well.
Gu Changfeng's eyes were solemn, and he thought for a long time with his hands behind his back.
"Old Three, what should I do now?"
Wei You thought for a moment and said, "I think, Senior Brother, you should go to Prince Fu's Mansion."
The young Taoist priest prepared to pack up and return to Xijing.
Originally, I came to Dongdu at the invitation of the emperor to properly check and balance Prince Fu, but since Prince Fu's goal was not achieved and I have been looking for Bai Yutang for more than a month without any results, there is no point in staying.
However, although the Thief Saint White Jade Soup was not found, Mr. Six, who was knocked down by him in two or three moves, suddenly became famous again. He made a great name in the southeast with his sword and even chopped off the young duke with a single knife in front of a group of masters.
I can break through a seven-story building, but can I kill one with one sword? I think I can.
But then again, back in the Imperial City, Mr. Liu clearly used two swords, so why did he suddenly start practicing Shushan swordsmanship? Did he learn so many different things?
There is a question that the young Taoist priest never wants to think about, which is why Zhao Yushu was able to successfully kill Wang Shaolin in front of a group of seventh and eighth level masters. He is only at the fourth level, and unless Wangjiang Tower lets go, there is no way he can succeed.
Because I can't do it.
So he didn't want to think about this issue too much.
After packing his simple luggage, the young Taoist priest put on his sword, closed the door, and planned to say hello to Prince Fu and leave.
People who practice Taoism mainly follow their heart.
When he walked into the front hall, he saw a coquettish young man with a big red flower on his head walking in. The young man glanced at him and smiled slightly.
