Bodhi

The spring is quiet and the birds are singing.

Among the lush forests, several winding paths lead to a bustling small town.

The man stood beside the restaurant with a white towel on his shoulders, looking puzzled at the street where only a few people walked.

Although this city is small, it is an important point connecting the two mountain ranges. Everyday trade and sightseeing must pass through here. Even in the middle of the night, the lights are brightly lit, and it is sleepless all night. How can it be so quiet and deserted today?

He scratched the feathers on his head, and the woman next to him came out and poured water, looked at him and shouted, "Second Brother Xu, what are you looking at?"

Xu Er stretched his neck and looked towards the city gate again. He saw that the merchants on this street were all in a state of doing nothing, squatting or sitting at the gate, chatting with each other.

"Strange, why aren't there many people today?" Xu Erdao said, "Although there were few people in the past two days, it was still lively. I have hung the broth in this shop three times, how can there be no one? "

At this time, the short and fat old man lying on the wooden chair next to him said, "Where are those idlers willing to come out and run around? The world is not peaceful now, everywhere is chaotic, and I don't know how long it will be stable... "

"It's only been stable for a few days!" Xu Er repeated with staring eyes, "If we want to fight again, we little people like Shengdou really can't afford it!"

The woman quickly smoothed things over and said: "How do you say this? Even a small child can say a few words, such as the general trend of the world, which must be divided for a long time. Since it has already been united once, how can it be divided so quickly?"

"Not necessarily, not necessarily..." The old man stroked his beard and sighed for a long time.

At this time, there was a commotion coming from the front, the woman looked around, and saw the crowded crowd in front of her, she didn't know what happened.

"What's the matter?" Xu Er took off the towel and wiped his hands carelessly, "Is anyone here?"

The noise was gradually approaching, and the crowd watching the excitement was like a big wave separated on both sides, watching the people coming out of it talking a lot, but they didn't dare to step forward.

Xu Er took a closer look, and his heart couldn't help but thumping twice, not for other reasons, this group of uninvited guests were all tall and strong men with dark tattoos on their chests, there were dozens of people in this group One, walking here with a murderous look.

—— Dongyi people.

Although the Yaozu was an enemy of Jiuli during the competition, they did not have any quarrel with their descendant Dongyi, but recently, the relationship between Dongyi and Yaozu has become more and more tense, and some tribes even began to kill each other. Now, there are so many Dongyi people here...

He was anxious and couldn't help staring at the group of people vigilantly, carefully observing their every move. At this time, he didn't want to walk out of a man in a green robe, with a handsome appearance and a smile on his face. Surrounded by the crowd, they looked around, as if they were picking something.

Xu Er murmured to himself, this man in green is obviously not from the Dongyi tribe, what is he leading such a group of fierce aliens to the demon town?

He was drumming in his heart, when the man turned his head and fixed his eyes on his restaurant.

"It's right here," the man walked over and said with a slight smile, "The conditions for coming out are simple, just find something to eat, and just take a rest."

A group of people squeezed into the restaurant at once, cramming the small shop and it was extremely crowded.Xu Er swallowed his saliva. Although he secretly complained, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and respectfully said, "What do you want to eat? The pastry in this small shop is the best in the street. If you don't dislike it, why don't you try it?" taste?"

The man didn't care how the monsters outside the restaurant looked them up and down, he picked up a nearby table and sat down, his attitude was easy-going: "You can do whatever you want, I don't mind."

After finishing speaking, he turned around again and said to the group of Dongyi people: "Do you want to try it too?"

The Dongyi people glanced at Xu Er, what made Xu Er feel strange was that the eyes of these Dongyi people were condescending, looking at him, as if they were looking at a weak person who was not worthy of attention, which made people feel very angry.The leader said in a low voice: "My lord, please do your own thing. Your subordinates are not used to eating things made by animals."

Although his voice was low, it did not conceal the contempt in his words at all, and it could be clearly heard by a group of monsters who were watching. When he said this, there was an uproar of surprise and anger everywhere. Xu Er He even clenched the towel in his hand, suppressing his anger and said, "My lord, what does he mean by that?"

The man frowned in displeasure, glared at the man who had spoken before, and said lightly, "When you're out of the house, if you speak freely, you know you're causing trouble!"

Seeing that the man bowed his head and said nothing, he turned around again, smiled at Xu Er with a good temper: "I'm sorry, shopkeeper, my subordinates are lack of discipline, I'm sorry."

Seeing that his attitude was correct and his tone was modest, Xu Er couldn't say anything more, so he had to forcefully call him a thousand, and then went into the back kitchen to prepare meals for the man.

Just now when Xu Er said that his family's noodles are the best in the street, he was not exaggerating.His family has studied this noodle recipe for several generations, and it has been passed down for hundreds of years. The polished rice and white noodles are mixed with yellow grains in proportion, and the gluten is extremely smooth, smooth and refreshing. , shredded chicken, with a handful of bright green vegetables, and finally pour a spoonful of rich and delicious broth stewed with pigeon blood.If ordinary people eat it, they may feel that the taste is too thick, but for the prehistoric people, it is particularly enjoyable.

As soon as the man took a sip, he applauded repeatedly and was full of praise. He was the only customer in the shop, and Xu Er stood beside him with a smiling face while eating and talking with the man.

The man ate a piece of chopstick noodles and took another sip of soup. He looked at the feathers on Xu Er's head and suddenly asked, "If I'm not wrong, you should be... from the Shusi family?"

Xu Er has never concealed the characteristics of his original body, so he does not shy away from someone bluntly speaking of his heels. He laughed and said, "Yes, the adults have good eyesight, and the younger ones are from the Shusi tribe!"

"Oh..." The man held the soft and smooth minced meat, thoughtfully, "Shusi... contributed a lot in the battle for the stag, you are a hero."

Xu Er paused, and he licked his dry lips. For some reason, facing the man's praise, he was a little hesitant: "You...you are joking. Woolen cloth?"

The smile on the man's lips gradually froze.

"Really." He slowly stirred the remaining noodle soup in the bowl with wooden chopsticks, "Okay, work hard, that's a good word."

Xu Er looked at the moody guest in front of him dully, and just when he didn't know what to say, he heard him whisper: "Shusi, how long have you been home to see it?"

Xu Er was taken aback, and subconsciously said: "It didn't take long, two days ago, the villain just communicated with his family..."

"Go home and have a look." The man interrupted him, put his chopsticks horizontally on the bowl, and took out a small gold ingot from his arms, "Yesterday, the Shusi tribe and the Dongyi tribe accidentally clashed, and the two sides fought fiercely. You can't leave it alone... There should be no one left now, right?"

The last sentence was for the Dongyi people behind him.

The leading man nodded, and continued to say in a low voice: "There is not one left."

"Oh, then I remember being more generous." The man shook his head and smiled, quite helplessly.He turned around and looked at Xu Er, who suddenly turned pale, "There's no need for change, take care."

Xu Ermu stared blankly at the man, as if he was talking about some obscure scripture, he subconsciously repeated: "What...is there any one left?"

But the man in Tsing Yi didn't intend to answer his words anymore, but turned around and was about to leave this small restaurant.

"I ask you what do you mean?!" Xu Er's eyes were tearing apart, and he roared sharply, rushing up to grab the man's collar, "I wrote to them the day before yesterday! They told me everything was fine, how could that be? There is no one left! Speak——!"

But his movements were stopped by the Dongyi people with rough means, and he was punched heavily in the stomach. The strength was hardly something that a human being could possess, and he was hit hard behind him. On the wall of the house, a mouthful of blood spewed out!

The residents in the town were like a pot of boiling water that had exploded. They were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to seek justice for their companions. There were also waves of horseshoes approaching here in the distance. It was obvious that the guards guarding the city came to maintain order.Surrounded by Dongyi people, the man looked around coldly. Even though everyone was very angry, no one dared to meet his gaze.

The chunky old man by the wall shrank his neck, trying his best to reduce himself to the point where he didn't have any sense of existence.

"Go." He finally said coldly, "Don't waste time in unnecessary places."

"Yes!" Those incomparably fierce Dongyi people all answered in unison. They swaggered away from under the eyes of many residents as if they were riding a gust of wind. When these Dongyi people attacked viciously, they didn't dare to chase after them rashly, so they had to help Xu Er who was paralyzed on the ground with a face like gold paper.

However, the moment they disappeared from sight, the old man clearly saw that the breeze was blowing up the hem of the clothes of a Dongyi man standing at the end of the line, under which hung a string of feathers that were obviously newly plucked. With bright blood.

——That color is exactly the same as that of Xu Er.

He opened his mouth in horror, rolled and crawled, rushed into his house, and closed the door with a "bang".

In Yinglong Palace, Su Xuechan was sitting at the table, holding a roll of yellowed silk in his hand.

"Betrayal?!" He opened his eyes wide in disbelief, "Is that what I thought it meant?"

Li Yuan responded, and he stood beside the huge bookcase as tall as two people, and there was a pile of books at his feet that could never be put back after being taken out.

"It's betrayal." He filled the books one by one into the gaps in the cabinet according to the order, and said angrily, "Next time if you don't understand anything, come and ask me, and don't hurt my books."

Su Xuechan was still immersed in the huge shock, he murmured: "How could it be betrayal..."

"Why can't it be betrayal?" Li Yuan sneered, "Winners and losers, good birds choose trees to live in... The monster clan just made a wise decision."

Su Xuechan was dumbfounded: "But, but..."

He had originally conceived countless reasons to think about why Master Feng Boyu had such great malice towards the Yaozu, so that he wanted to enslave them for thousands of years, but he did not expect that it was the Yaozu who first betrayed Chi You turned to the Emperor Hong Clan, and caused the first serious damage to Chi You's army in the century-long war!

The inside story was so unbelievable that he was completely stunned for a moment.

"Why do you look like that?" Li Yuan Nahan said, "Scared?"

He put down the book in his hand, walked over and hugged Su Xuechan into his arms, and gently squeezed his chin: "What's wrong?"

Su Xuechan's mind was full of turmoil, and he didn't know where to start.

He asked nonchalantly, "Why?"

Li Yuan sighed, and said: "At that time, the two sides had been in a stalemate for nearly a hundred years. At the beginning, Chi You used the advantage of the terrain to win over the demon clan. The Emperor Hong's family lived in the Central Plains for a long time, and first lost the hearts of the surrounding people. Chi You had the upper hand for a while. At that time, he could behead the Emperor Hong clan and rule the Great Desolation with a single push of his strength, so it was inevitable that his arrogance would be exposed, and his words and deeds were somewhat inappropriate."

"Practice and follow, since he thinks he is number one in the world, his subordinates also follow the arrogance and act contemptuously of the monster clan who are not of the same kind. After a long time, all kinds of contradictions will naturally arise. And Emperor Hong went to Kunlun to find the Queen Mother of the West, and came to the East Huanghai invited me out of the mountain, and with the help of Kui Niu Drum and Han Yan, I finally managed to win the round."

Su Xuechan understood: "The demon clan..."

Li Yuan nodded: "The Dihong family is very measured, and they are not as violent and violent as Chi You. At that time, the style of the Jiuli tribe was very tough, but all the tribesmen who were captured would bite off their tongues, and they would not say a word of hostility." It was revealed that the Yaozu did not have this tradition, so after being sent back, they often had to be questioned and tortured by the Jiuli tribe.

"So that's how it is..." Su Xuechan frowned, "Did the Yaozu regret it?"

Li Yuan said: "Yes, they regretted it. Chi You's political ideas are too harsh, but they formed an alliance too early, and there is no room for repentance. This matter was known to the Queen Mother of the West, so she sent Xuannv to remind the emperor. Hong Clan, later on, the demon clan really turned against the water under the persuasion of Di Hong Clan, and they revealed the arrangement of Jiuli's army, which made Chi You furious, made repeated mistakes, and loosened the stalemate in the battle."

Su Xuechan couldn't help sighing: "In this kind of thing, who is right and who is wrong."

"There is no need to investigate anyone's right or wrong." Li Yuan stretched out his finger and flicked it on Su Xuechan's forehead, "How many things in the world are black and white? Even Tai Chi has its chaotic place, and everything is viewed as black and white. Yes, it's not stupid, it's lazy."

"According to this statement, isn't your last sentence divided into black and white?" Su Xuechan said in disbelief.

Li Yuan said leisurely: "Oh, let's add another bad one."

He didn't care, but Su Xuechan was upset, thinking that if you don't pursue it, Master Feng Boyu, who had escaped by chance, hated the monster race to death, and might have already started to attack now, thinking about how to cause chaos...

At this time, there was a chanting sound outside the door, and a scout dressed in hard attire hurried in from the outside, kneeling and presenting a secret letter.

"Read." Li Yuan said.

"Qi report to Dragon Lord, the informants scattered all over the world came to report that a Dixian saw a group of Dongyi soldiers at the junction of Gaotu Mountain and Huangshan Mountain. The leader was dressed in a green robe and came and went like the wind. , whereabouts are mysterious, suspected, suspected..."

When he said, "Wearing a green robe, coming and going like the wind", Su Xuechan's heart was pounding. Seeing the scout hesitated at this moment, he couldn't help answering: "It seems to be Uncle Feng, isn't it?"

"Bodhi!" Li Yuan suddenly clenched his wrist, his eyes were both startled and angry, "You are not allowed to ask about this matter again, do you understand?"

He opened his mouth, and just about to say something, he heard the scouts below continue to tremble and say: "I am humble, and then I will report to Dragon Lord, the Gaotu Shusi clan... had a dispute with Dongyi, and they have all been wiped out. "

Su Xuechan's pupils shrank, and he lost his voice: "What?!"
