Chapter 148 The Sucker
[16 years old: They treated you as a blind man and the miracle doctor as their own. Under their warm smiles, there was a surge of danger and unconscious arrogance. They took you with them, obviously not shaken by the life-saving grace in Songcheng. They were so happy because of something else.
They have other plans.
You shook your head and couldn't help but curse him as an ungrateful person, but fortunately, you are not a blind doctor who is powerless. You have plenty of strength and means.
Your wisdom has increased, and you have become smarter! 】
Jikong's first reaction was to open his eyes wide, his attention was instantly drawn by the cunning liar, leaving only doubts and worries in his heart: "Why are they transporting weapons to Zhongzhou? What on earth do they want to do!"
Nanzhou and Zhongzhou have been at a truce for ten years. This period of peace and recuperation is the result that the people of both places have been waiting for for a hundred years!
"Did they fool the county magistrate of Songcheng as well?" Jikong's expression became strange. He only vaguely became aware of the existence of Jinyiwei when Songcheng was out of danger. This was not surprising. After all, such a big thing happened in Songcheng, it would be unreasonable for Jinyiwei to be gone.
But since the Jinyiwei were checking all these weapons, how could they be shipped out? This seemed extremely strange and abrupt.
But soon, Ji Kong couldn't help but have a question in his mind.
But how did this frail doctor in front of me know that?
The doctor seemed to have a tacit understanding with him, and smiled gently and proudly: "Although I am blind, my ears are not deaf, and my nose is not blocked. In fact, because of my blindness, I am more sensitive and more likely to notice strange movements."
"They hid the things behind my carriage and smeared the concealing incense between the weapons. When the carriage was moving, the swords and spears collided with each other like music, which I could not ignore at all."
Liuwei's distressed face drooped, and he couldn't help but move closer to Jikong. Liuwei whispered, "I don't know who to discuss this with. I've been distressed for a long time. As expected, I can only tell Master Jikong, right?"
"And..." The man in front of him became more and more uneasy. He unconsciously stretched out his slender white fingers and grabbed Jikong's gray monk robe, wanting to say something but stopping himself, as if he was hesitating about what to say.
Liuwei has an extremely innocent and pure face. When he looked up at Jikong, the loss in Jikong's heart was instantly filled, just like he was at the Dharma Assembly, where there were unfamiliar people from other sects everywhere, and occasionally there were Jinyiwei who looked him up and down with scrutiny. Originally, he would have found it unbearable, but as luck would have it, there appeared people he knew and who needed him at the Dharma Assembly.
He felt instantly stronger.
Jikong paused.
A sarcastic remark suddenly popped into his mind.
Accompanied by a poisonous, sweet stench and the smell of water vapor mixed with rain.
"The Holy Son of Buddhism? The No. 1 person in Buddhism? Saving all sentient beings? I think you are just seeking fame and reputation. You chant Buddhist scriptures and hold a staff and a bowl in your hands. But it's really bad. I can't see any trace of Buddha in your eyes or in your heart."
The evil ghost calmly blocked the Sanskrit chain outside the folding fan, and said frivolously and proudly: "Do you really respect your Buddha as much as I do? Does your Buddha really love you as much as my God loves me?"
“Ah——” The Sanskrit chains shattered in an instant in the rainstorm. The evil ghost approached him triumphantly and blew a breath of poisonous gas at him. The black poison flowed along the blood vessels on his chest and climbed up his cheeks hideously. The evil ghost whispered: “Your faith seems to be as easy to break as this chain.”
In the mouth of the evil ghost, there is a useless soul hidden in his strong body. He does not believe in Buddhism, but has become the son of Buddha. Buddha does not love all living beings as much as his God does.
It was simply, simply... absurd! Absurd! A mere evil cultist who came from nowhere actually dared to boast of the favor of God in front of him!
Liu Wei finally pursed his lips and said, "Maybe I'm just wrong. Maybe they are just passing through Zhongzhou and reselling to other places."
Jikong came back to his senses and felt a little apprehensive. He chose to ignore it considerately, and then said solemnly: "Don't worry, benefactor. I will always pay attention to it. If this group of people have malicious intentions, I will never let them succeed."
How could Buddha not love the world? How could he not respect Buddha? He was determined not to let the six senses be harmed in the slightest.
Perhaps this is where the conversation should end.
But who would have thought that Liuwei paused for a long time in silence, and those gray eyes seemed to be able to really see him, and Jikong couldn't help feeling shy.
"That's great." Liuwei said slowly.
“What?” Jikong was stunned.
Jikong was speechless for a moment. He stared at the blind doctor in front of him and raised the corner of his mouth in surprise.
"Although I can't see Master Jikong's appearance with my eyes, my nose is very sensitive." The doctor in the wheelchair said with a playful and lively tone, winking at Jikong lively: "It's even quite strange, I... can smell the taste of emotions."
This is complete nonsense, right?
But Liuwei pretended to sniff the air, and then showed a satisfied smile: "Master Jikong is very happy now, and no longer depressed. It means that my words are effective."
It's like I really smelled something special.
Jikong pursed his lips, and the tips of his ears turned red.
.
"Thank you for the treatment."
Jikong barely suppressed his laughter, but the warmth of being cared for was lingering in his heart and was hard to fade away. It was instantly reflected in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, making him feel refreshed.
After the joke, Liuwei said, "Master Jikong, I am worried about you. My nephew Little Octopus is also worried about you. You may not believe it, but he admires you very much."
Jikong was somewhat surprised, and said in a relaxed tone: "Could it be that the little donor also believes in my Buddha?"
Sensing that Jikong's attitude towards Buddha was somewhat ambiguous, Liuwei's smile deepened and he shook his head: "He is attracted by the Buddha's glittering golden body. Children just love these things."
Ji Kong laughed.
After Liuwei was placed back on the carriage by Jikong, Octopus came over hesitantly, "Aunt, how is it? How is it? Is he going to find us?"
He curled his lips like a riddle man: "The treatment is very effective. His attention will be where it should be."
The octopus breathed a sigh of relief and said happily, "Thank you, auntie!"
The child's sense of security was almost overflowing. He was really afraid that Jikong would find out because of his own mistakes. According to Gu Dingbang, people who believed in religions were fanatical lunatics. Even the destruction of the world could not stop them from doing everything they could to complete the instructions of God.
A good example from the side is Suifeng, who worshipped Liuwei as a god, but ended up being stabbed in the back and pregnant with a dozen cubs. In the end, he was still reluctant to capture Liuwei and bring him back to be the god's right protector.
Although Octopus saw Jikong as a kind and normal person, if Jikong's god really said that he wanted to arrest them, what would Master Jikong do? Who knew.
During the rest of the journey, it was not known whether Suifeng was badly injured by the sudden stab in the back, but he did not catch up. However, many small leaders in the sect did.
They clamored to rescue the miracle doctor, but did not mention anything about the "leader" or anything like that. It was obvious that Suifeng had informed them. Some of them died, some escaped, but in the end no one revealed any information that Liuwei was their leader.
Using this more recent example, Gu Dingbang taught Octopus a lesson: "Look at these people who believe in religion, their brains are broken. Look at how their leaders behave."
Octopus nodded obediently and winked at Liuwei. Gu Dingbang noticed it. Octopus, who seemed to be in a rebellious period, defended Liuwei who treated him very well. He stiffened his neck and said, "Auntie just likes to be considerate of others, often talks to them, and helps them relieve their worries!"
"It's all the ghosts' fault for getting wild and crazy! How could my aunt do anything wrong?"
Liu Wei turned around with a smile, moved and nodded in agreement: "That's right! I am super innocent!"
Everyone looks relaxed.
"We should let Wan Rui teach those idiots and see," Gu Dingbang said angrily, "This guy doesn't care at all!"
Liuwei subtly felt that his second career was disliked, but he never expected that Gu Dingbang was such a staunch anti-sectarian. This was surprising to him, after all, he usually looked like a dissolute person with no opinions and a receptive person with no principles.
But thinking back to their first meeting, Gu Dingbang did indeed act like a chivalrous hero at the time, and he also hated evil cults.
Now that he has Octopus, his heart seems to have not changed. It's just that this chivalrous demeanor needs time to cultivate. Watching the child nervously all day long, Gu Dingbang has not managed his image at all. What's the point of being a chivalrous man? He looks haggard and energetic. Only his insistence on shaving every morning can show his last bit of stubbornness.
But in short, the endless pursuit of the Wanrui Sect and the mystery of the weapons in the caravan occupied Jikong's mind, causing his attention to completely divert from exploring the strangeness of the Liuwei family. Instead, under the care of Octopus, he gradually became friends with this clever child.
The road between Zhongzhou and Nanzhou is neither short nor long.
Liu Wei could not figure out the purpose of the caravan. He always felt that he was missing some important information. However, the boss was consistently enthusiastic. Even though he knew that the weapons were hidden in the caravan, Gu Dingbang could not help but soften his heart. It is said that a gentleman judges by deeds, not by heart. He was very popular and it was difficult for him to look at others with a bad face.
Just before they were about to reach the capital of Zhongzhou, the caravan boss, as if keenly aware of the softening of Gu Dingbang's attitude, immediately picked up a pot of wine and invited Gu Dingbang to drink with him.
After three rounds of drinking, under the firelight, the light and shadow blurred the caravan boss's round outline. His eyes narrowed into a line, as thin as two reptiles, and his bulging cheeks were covered with two rosy and greedy colors. The caravan boss tempted meaningfully: "Brother Zhang, I have inside information here. Do you want to do a big business with me?"
He paused. "The huge one?"
As the words fell, the shadow of the fire fell into the caravan boss's sidelong eyes, as if something was burning.
[16 years old: Someone looked through your skin and saw your true nature. He was impressed by your talent for deceiving people without blinking an eye.
How can it not be considered a talent? It is also very powerful to lie to people with a sincere face, okay?
The big boss paid a large sum of money to hire this miracle doctor who had recently become famous in Nanzhou to cheat someone.
You are also very familiar with this person. Perhaps, there are no other six people in this world who are more familiar with him than you!
You almost couldn't control your expression and laughed out loud when you heard the conditions, but fortunately, your many years as a leader have given you good control over your facial muscles.
Oh my god, what a funny coincidence!
Somebody seemed to be watching this, some smiled expectantly, some whistled to see the show, and some decided to add a little more work to themselves in order to prevent some people from overdoing it.
Wu You laughed out loud: "What's the big deal? It's a perfect job for me. I became a miracle doctor by tricking people! I can check my achievements in Songcheng!"
He laughed and pulled down: "The one who is going to be cheated, can't it be the third brother? This boss is really unlucky!"
"Six people, hahaha, wait," Wu You suddenly became serious and began to count the simulated characters on his fingers. Then he found that no matter how he counted, there were always seven: "Which person was excluded from the simulation, hahaha..."
"Wait, it can't be me?" Wu You's smile disappeared.
No! He refused to accept it! He was clearly the source of "himself", his own "substance", so how could there be a simulator that excluded him!
Wu You was so angry that he jumped up and down: "I know everything and understand everything! Whether it's the eldest brother's teaching career, the second brother's life as an ordinary man but a hero, or the third brother's lucky emperor's seizure of power, the fourth brother's broken void, or the fifth brother's scientific Burma! It's me! It's me, the original body, who is watching carefully, okay!"
“I know everything! Everything!” Wu You criticized the simulator seriously.
"Humph, don't do this next time!"
Wu You patted the simulator as a punishment.
[16 years old: For some reason, you readily agreed. After all, it is a blessing for all liars to have such a sucker in this world. How could you let him go? ]
