all is quiet at dead of night.

Those who play on the dusk mountain have found their own places to sleep, and the rich and powerful live in the Taoist temple halfway up the mountain. Ordinary people\'s tourists can only find a flat and spacious place to set up their own tents. The people of the Sui Dynasty have always lived a more comfortable life. The strong national strength over the past century has made the people develop a confident and somewhat lazy character.

Spring outing is not the privilege of a large family.

The rich people have the playing methods of the rich, and ordinary people have the playing methods of ordinary people.

However, few people choose to camp at the foot of the mountain. Most of them live in a small square paved with green stone in front of the halfway up Taoist temple. The Taoist temple does not give meals, but provides hot water. This is also one of the reasons for the prosperity of incense in this Taoist temple. Because of this mountain, the Taoists in the Taoist temple live a very rich and comfortable life.

Almost all the people inside and outside the Taoist temple have fallen asleep, but the three people at the foot of the mountain are busy digging pits. To be exact, two people are digging a hole. One person is sitting on the fork of a tree and leaning against the trunk. It\'s boring.

"Dig deeper."

Without tools, the big dog put on his gloves with steel spikes and began to work. It didn\'t take long to dig out a big pit on the ground. He glanced at Fang Xie, waving a horizontal knife to dig the earth, disdained and said, "I can\'t dig two, you can\'t dig one. You\'d better rely on your own hands."

Fang Xie wiped the sweat channel on his forehead: "today I know that dog gouging is not just a way of swimming. I admire it. Without something in hand, I can\'t dig much deep at dawn."

"Or divide the body."

The big dog said solemnly, "it\'s easier to divide the corpse into many small pieces, so there\'s no need to dig too deep. Just dig more."

Li Xian stared at him: "Why are you so cruel?"

The big dog said, "I killed two. You killed two. Cruelty is also cruel."

He looked back at Cui lueshang and said unhappily, "I said, young master Cui, if you are not the principal criminal, you are also an accomplice now? Can you help? Even if you kneel down and spend time for them by means of Buddhism, don\'t they hate you in hell?"

Some lost Cui lueshang looked at the big dog with no brilliance in his eyes. In front of him, Xie handed him a short knife. He looked at Liu Yineng, who was dying, but he didn\'t dare to start. Later, when Fang Xie stabbed a knife into Li Yuan\'s neck, he trembled and moved to Liu Yineng. He raised the knife and trembled for a while before stabbing it. Maybe it was because he was too nervous and panicked. He didn\'t even hit the key with four or five knives.

Blood gushed out one by one, splashing him all over his face, but Liu Yineng was not dead.

After Fang Xie killed Li Yuan, he really couldn\'t see it. A knife pierced Liu Yineng\'s back heart, right in the heart.

Four people were killed. Fang Xie thought he would be afraid and tremble, but he was surprised to find that he was calm as if he had done nothing. He even felt it carefully, but he was disappointed to find that he was really not a little excited.

Killing was not a very exciting thing for him.

This makes Fang Xie laugh at himself. When he was in fan Gu, he firmly believed that he was a person who couldn\'t kill. Even if he wasn\'t a kind person, at least he wasn\'t a cruel person. But now after killing people, he realized that he had not resisted killing because of his kindness. It\'s that he still has some resistance to killing in his memory, which is just a kind of habitual thinking.

Just as they were sweating, the back door of the Taoist temple on the hillside slowly opened. Two people in blue Taoist robes walked slowly to a boulder protruding from the hillside. The old Taoist looked at the foot of the mountain and frowned slightly. He asked the fat Taoist who was not very old and looked only 15 or 16 years old: "do you want to take care of the terrible thing?"

The Taoist priest who asked questions was at least fifty or sixty years old. He wore a Taoist crown to block his white hair, but he couldn\'t block his gray goatee. Compared with the young Taoists around him, he is more immortal and respectable. But he spoke to the young Taoist around him with questions, and his tone was very respectful.

The little Taoist is young and fat. An elegant Taoist robe was worn on him, but it was tightened by the fat as if it was about to crack. Therefore, he seemed to be a little weak when he walked and talked, and he didn\'t know whether he was hurt by the clothes.

His face was round and white, and he couldn\'t see any wrinkles. If you have to use one thing to compare his face, it can only be the hot white flour steamed bread just out of the pot.

He is not only fat, but also short.

I don\'t know if it\'s because he\'s young and hasn\'t fully grown. His height is barely flush with the old Taoist\'s shoulder. He didn\'t wear a Taoist temple, and his long black hair was tied at the back of his head at will, but there was a smoothness that women had to envy.

"There are so many terrible things in the world. You should take care of them... Don\'t you die of fatigue?"

The young Taoist glanced at the old Taoist and said angrily: "In the dead of night, you called me up just to let me see this? Don\'t you just kill people... There will be no dead people in the world? Don\'t mention that your cultivation is going down the mountain. Even if you become an immortal and can fly... Can you stop all the murders in the world by flying around every day? Can you? Can you? Can you?"

He asked three times.

The old Taoist\'s face turned red. He smiled and replied, "naturally not."

"Then you fart."

The young Taoist stared at him and said, "if you disturb me to sleep, I\'ll write it down first. If you bother me again because of this trivial matter, I\'ll drive you down the mountain."

The old Taoist was frightened and said, "not next time... By the way, when the martial arts academy opens its examination every year, immortal Xiao will be invited... Last time I sent someone to invite you three times. Do you want to go this time?"

"No, no!"

The young Taoist waved his hand and said impatiently, "three senior brothers, one has been a Taoist leader and has to pretend to welcome in and out all day. One has disappeared for ten years and disappeared. The other is hiding in the imperial palace as a watchdog. He can\'t be free... Who is as natural and happy as me? Life... What is the natural Avenue? What is the avenue?"

He looked at the old Taoist and said solemnly, "eat, drink, Lazar and sleep can make their own decisions. This is the road."

The young Taoist turned back to the Taoist temple. When he entered the door, he turned back and told the old Taoist humanitarian: "the number of tourists is increasing these days, and the meat, eggs and fresh vegetables in the temple are not enough. Go down the mountain and buy some early tomorrow morning..."

He looked down the mountain and a pity flashed in his eyes: "if the meat is chopped, you can\'t tell whether it\'s human meat or pork? If it\'s made into steamed stuffed buns, no one can eat it? Even if we don\'t admit it, it\'s ok?"

The old Taoist was scared to death. He took the young Taoist\'s hand and went to the yard: "it\'s time for you to sleep, it\'s time for you to sleep..."

"When you go down the mountain tomorrow, remember to bring me back the snacks of song Ji in Xiangcheng, pastry, Spiced melon seeds, Chen Ji\'s Smoked pig legs, the old blind man\'s sausage, and..."

The voice gradually faded away, and the Taoist temple returned to calm again.

……

……

at the foot of the hill

Cui lueshang covered Liu Yineng\'s body with earth. When he saw Liu Yineng\'s expression, he was scared and sat down on the ground: "What can I do? If someone finds out, my future will be gone. My father doesn\'t know how much gold and silver he gave me and how many people he sold to help me find a chance to enter the martial arts academy, but I ruined my future... If my father knows, don\'t break my leg?"

"Promising!"

The big dog looked at him white and said angrily, "people have been killed. Are you afraid of farting after you regret it now?"

Cui lueshang wanted to wipe the sweat off his forehead, but wiped the dirt on his face: "but it can\'t be concealed after all. Many people know that the five of us visited Dushan together. Li Yuan and they agreed to have this amusement for me to practice. But if only I went back to Xiangcheng, but the four of them didn\'t go back, the government could easily find out that I killed them."

"You can\'t hide it."

Fang Xie dragged a dead body and threw it into the pit, looked at Cui lueshang and said: "You don\'t have to hide it at all. After burying their bodies in a moment, you will immediately go back to Xiangcheng. When the city gate opens tomorrow morning, you will quickly go home and tell your father the truth. It\'s not your fault, but Li Yuan. They want to kill you first... Your father will help you find a way. We\'ll wait for you outside Xiangcheng, and then we\'ll go to Chang\'an together There is a caretaker. "

While burying the soil, Fang Xie said, "now I won\'t hide it from you. I\'m not shangguohen, nor am I a businessman in fangucheng. I\'m a border army scout recommended by fangucheng border army to take the exam in the martial arts academy this year. My name is Fang Xie. Since it\'s our fate to meet, you and I will go together and take the exam in the martial arts academy."

"You are also a candidate of the martial arts academy!"

Cui lueshang was surprised and couldn\'t help looking at him carefully: "you didn\'t lie to me?"

"Have you ever cheated on this? Now have you cheated? Have you cheated in Chang\'an?"

Fang Xie smiled and said, "just don\'t meddle in the affairs here. Now go back to Xiangcheng. It will be dawn in about two hours. You ride back and just enter the city at dawn. Go back and discuss with your father. I guess your father will send you out of the city as soon as possible that day."

"Really?"

Cui lueshang couldn\'t help worrying and said, "what if my father caught me and detained me?"

"Tiger poison doesn\'t eat children. Your father is willing to spend a lot of money to let you enter the martial arts academy. How can he watch you ruin your future? Go quickly!"

Fang Xie patted him on the shoulder and said, "I promise it will be fine."

Cui lueshang thought about it, and Fang\'s explanation was also reasonable. He didn\'t want to stay here for a moment. He simply got up, hugged his fist, said goodbye and ran away.

After Cui lueshang disappeared, Mu Xiaoyao jumped down from the fork of the tree and walked to Fang Xie. He looked at Fang Xie seriously, and then asked seriously, "you didn\'t kill these people just because you wanted to kill, didn\'t you?"

Fang Xie nodded: "yes."

"It\'s not just helping that fool once, as you said, is it?"

"Yes!"

Fang Xie nodded again, then looked in the direction of Cui lueshang\'s disappearance, and said flatly: "I\'m just a small border army scout. I don\'t have a noble background and a tough backstage. Even when I get to Chang\'an City, there must be more hardships and difficulties... Although the Cui family in Xiangcheng is far less rich than the Cui family in Boling, and there are many important officials in the Imperial court, I\'m also a real famous family. Having such a friend around you will always save some trouble."

"So you\'ve been calculating that fool from the beginning?"

The big dog asked in surprise.

Fang Xie smiled: "I\'m helping him and myself... Isn\'t it? To do good with others is to do good with myself. This seems to be from Buddhism, but it still makes sense."

"If it\'s possible, it\'s better to make friends with a few more dignitaries. Anyway, candidates like me won\'t go too smoothly in Chang\'an city. I won\'t miss finding a few helpers. I remember when I left fangucheng, I told you that I relied on you and chenqingfan three years ago. I relied on you two for the past three years, but in the future... I have to rely more on myself Some. "

"You\'ve been walking with your belt for fifteen years."

He looked at Mu Xiaoyao and said seriously, "it\'s time to go by yourself. It\'s best... To run."
