I am Zhao Zhijing, a poor Taoist priest, and I have disciples all over the world.

Chapter 167 The woman at the foot of the mountain is a tiger
"Zhen Zhibing was secretly poisoned, but he didn't know it. For the sake of his wife and unborn child, it is not impossible that he betrayed his teacher and ancestors."

"But whether he followed the teachings of fairness or not, he still died in the end."

"If it doesn't work out, it's just a waste of a few pills. If it works out, it's a huge profit."

Zhao Zhijing also admired the scheming and methods of the Gongping Sect. If they just threatened Zhen Zhibing's life, given his personality, he would not give in.

"I can confirm that you have also been poisoned by this poison."

Although it's a bit cruel, Zhen Zhibing is undoubtedly the best candidate to study the Three Corpses Brain Pill. Since he is willing to sacrifice his life to atone for his crime, it would be better to use it in a more correct place.

Zhao Zhijing expressed all his guesses, including that Wei'er was very likely the bait used by Gongping to get Zhen Zhibing to take the bait.

"No, Wei'er won't."

Zhen Zhibing shook his head repeatedly and denied it flatly. It was obvious that he couldn't believe that all this was a conspiracy from beginning to end.

Tsk. He’s still a romantic.

Zhao Zhijing looked at him and realized that it was easy for him to stop him once, but it was impossible for him to stop him eight or ten times, so he threw the broken sword next to him.

"Whether you believe it or not, there are only two options before you. Either you follow me to Xiangyang to find the Indian monk. Although you may not survive in the end, you can at least make a contribution to the people of the world."

"Or you can continue to seek your own death, but remember to stay away from Huashan. I am not in the mood to collect your body."

After hearing the words "I can make some contribution to the world with my life", Zhen Zhibing felt a little relieved from his self-blame and guilt.

Death is not scary to him. What is scary is how to make a choice among his loved ones, and the opinion given by Zhao Zhijing is undoubtedly the best choice.

"Don't hold your hopes too high. According to the Indian monk's deduction, the corpse poison is likely to be cured."

"But this strange poison that Fairness has taught you can probably only be suppressed. There is no antidote that can completely eradicate it."

Zhen Zhibing smiled sadly and said, "Brother Zhao, it is not a pity for Zhibing to die. I just hope that he can rest in peace before he dies, so as not to bring down the reputation of our sect and my mentor."

Three days later, Zhao Zhijing brought Yang Guo, Guan Man'er, and Zhen Zhibing down from the Jade Maiden Peak and prepared to go to Xiangyang.

With Yang Guo's aptitude and understanding, he is bound to have a bright future. What he lacks is nothing more than experience, so we bring him with us this time to meet the heroes of the world who are helping Guo Jing and his wife defend Xiangyang.

As for Guan Maner, there is no need to mention him.

After leaving Huashan, the four of them headed southeast.

At this time, Yang Guo and Guan Man'er's Qinggong skills had improved greatly. On the contrary, Zhen Zhibing had indulged in wine and women in the past year, and his martial arts skills had declined a lot. His body was even weaker. He could not even hold on for a long time when riding a horse.

Zhao Zhijing and his two disciples had to make some concessions and only walked a few dozen miles a day before stopping to rest.

But Yang Guo and Guan Man'er were in a very good mood. Yang Guo could stay with his master and go to Xiangyang to see the world. He also had his junior brother Man'er accompanying him, so he was smiling every day.

When Guan Maner saw that his junior brother was happy, he became happy too.

They traveled for two hours that day and estimated that they would reach Xiangyang before dark, but Zhen Zhibing suddenly started coughing. Zhao Zhijing gave an order and the four of them went to the side of the road to rest for a while.

"Master, what kind of injury did Master Zhen suffer?"

Before in Chongyang Palace, Yang Guo had not had much contact with Zhen Zhibing, but he also knew that he was the most skilled martial artist among the three generations of Quanzhen Sect, second only to his master.

Moreover, during the year-end competition, Yang Guo saw the fight between his master and Li Zhichang. Although Li Zhichang was completely defeated in that match, it was only because he was facing his master.

From this, we can infer that the person who could injure Uncle Zhen like this must be a master.

When Zhao Zhijing heard him ask the question, he wanted to reply, "You are just a kid, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."

But then he thought, Yang Guo was nearly seventeen years old, which was considered an adult in this era. And because he replaced his predecessor, those things didn't happen, and Yang Guo was well protected.

He has a handsome appearance and a lively mind. As he travels around the world, he will definitely encounter various temptations and tests.

"Wine and sex lead people astray."

Zhao Zhijing pointed out deliberately: "Although the rules of our Zuowang Temple are quite different from those of Quanzhen Sect, countless people have been defeated by the two words of wine and sex throughout history."

"Speaking of which, it is more powerful than any other martial arts in the world."

Yang Guo noticed that his master spoke so seriously, and thought of the Li Mochou, Huang Rong, Guo Fu, and Xiao Longnu he had met before, each one more beautiful than the other, but each one was not easy to mess with, so he could not help but nod his head repeatedly.

"Master is right. The more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is!"

"."

People are as big as little devils.

Zhao Zhijing thought that the topic was over, but Yang Guo turned around and went to find Guan Man'er, saying very seriously: "Brother Man'er, I have something to tell you."

"When we travel the world, we must be careful with women. The prettier they are, the more careful we must be."

Guan Man'er thought for a moment and replied, "Sister is a woman, Man'er doesn't need to be careful."

"Sister Guan doesn't count, you have to pay attention to..."

Zhao Zhijing couldn't help but find it funny to see Yang Guo imparting his experience to Guan Man'er in a serious manner.

As the saying goes, too much is as bad as too little. Although we don’t have to worry about him flirting with girls everywhere, we should not regard this matter as a disaster.

After resting, the four of them continued on their journey. Due to some delay, the city gates of Xiangyang were closed when they arrived.

"Brother Zhao, it's all my fault. I've caused you trouble."

Zhao Zhijing looked at the sky and shook his head slightly. Although it was later than expected, the city gate was closed a little early.

"Hero Guo is in charge of Xiangyang City. Let's go to the city gate and ask."

The four men arrived at the foot of the city, and saw teams of soldiers in armored uniforms patrolling back and forth on the top of the city, looking ready for battle.

"Has the war already started? But why didn't I hear any movement on the way here?"

Zhao Zhijing was puzzled and said, "I am a disciple of the Quanzhen Sect. I have come to Xiangyang to visit the hero Guo Jing. Please inform him!"

The voices of these two sentences were not very loud, but they were heard clearly by the people on the top of the city wall as they spread from the bottom to the top.

The military officer who led the patrol knew that the person who had such ability was definitely not an ordinary person. He immediately looked down, but saw that the man who called himself "poor Taoist" was not wearing a Taoist robe.

He immediately called out, "Heroes, please wait a moment. I will go and inform them right away."

Not long after, someone climbed up the city wall again. When he saw Zhao Zhijing, he was overjoyed and said, "It turns out that you are really Brother Zhao. Please come into the city quickly."

"Elder Lu?"

Zhao Zhijing saw that the person who came was none other than the Beggars' Sect elder Lu Youjiao, and he also smiled and said, "Brother Lu, long time no see."

The soldiers guarding the city immediately opened the city gate and let the four people enter.

"It's been less than a year since we last met, and Brother Zhao has done some sensational things. Even I am proud of him!"
