Chapter 744 Sacrifice

The Juggernaut hugged Longyuan, leaned against the pillar, and looked at Zheng Fan who was sitting in front of him.

This is not the first time Juggernaut has seen Zheng Fan draw, using charcoal to draw clear lines;

At that time, it was in Xueguan, Master Hou Zheng sat in the yard on a whim and drew an orange tree, and asked the Juggernaut to comment after the painting was finished.

At that time, Gou Moli appraised this painting as a celestial being, and all kinds of flattery words were uploaded in bundles;

Juggernaut said at the time that it lacked charm.

The Juggernaut at that time was still a bit noble.

It's just that Lord Zheng Hou didn't have any occupational cleanliness at all in his life, so he asked directly:

"You want your descendants, which one of your paintings will you keep?"

The Juggernaut hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the orange tree.

No one wants their descendants to have a more abstract impression of their ancestors in their minds when they recall their ancestors, or they hope that their faces can be more realistic.

At this time,

What Zheng Fan drew on the drawing board,

Is a mighty ice sheet;

In the corners of the picture, a group of savages are kneeling and worshiping;

In the center of the picture, under the ice layer, there is a shadow of a person.

The whole painting gives people a very depressing feeling.

Zheng Fan put down the charcoal pencil in his hand, this is the picture he made up based on some information he got before and the information he got from little monk Fan the day before yesterday;

In terms of details, there must be a big problem. What does the person under the ice look like? Is it naked or wearing clothes or armor?

Do you have any weapons by your side?

hair, what color?

The face of the savage or the face of the Xia?

These are all unknown.

The little monk Liaofan fell asleep after finishing his speech the day before yesterday. After waking up halfway, he just drank some porridge, then sat on the side of the bed in a daze, and then continued to fall asleep.

Zheng Fan didn't ask him for details. The young monk's mental state was very bad, and he had to wait until the blind man arrived to get the plan.

But one thing is certain,

prophecy,

it is true.

In Hu Bamei's prophecy, it seems that the ice layer is also mentioned, the awakening is also mentioned, and the demon king is also coming;

On this point, what He Liaofan and his master saw was confirmed.

Moreover, this thing has opened its eyes, which means that he is alive. In other words, he has... descended.

What does the little monk Liao Fan mean when he said it was split?

The ice cracked, did he do it, or was there another reason?

Now, can he leave that layer of ice and move freely?

In Hu Bamei's prophecy, there is the number "seven", so, is he alone? Some other people were also staying under the ice, so he came up first?

"You've been staring at this painting for a long time." The Juggernaut said.

Zheng Fan nodded, stretched his waist, and said:

"This painting is very important to me."

"I see."

"Old Yu, tell me, in this world, is there a real second-rank or so-called first-rank?"

"An official?"

"You know what I'm talking about."

"I don't know, but since the second grade is available, the first grade is not impossible. It's just that it's too difficult, rare, and there's no way to see it. Why, do you think the people in this painting are of that level?"

"I wouldn't mind trying to figure it out to the fullest extent."

"Then what?"

"Find out first, then determine the location."

"Many emperors in ancient times have the same thoughts as you now. Anyone who threatens their imperial power, even if it is only a threat that may appear in the future, will strike ahead and kill it."

"yes."

"It's so boring?" Juggernaut shook his head, "If it was me, I wish my opponent was strong enough, no, I wish I could meet an opponent like Tian Wujing every now and then."

"You will feel that this kind of life is very fulfilling, but I really don't like it. I like drinking tea in the afternoon and listening to the women at home singing songs."

Zheng Fan stretched out his hand, gently stroking the screen,

road:

"Fortunately, he is on the snow field."

Snowfield is adjacent to my sphere of influence.

The Juggernaut nodded.

At this time, the county magistrate came in to announce: "Master Hou, the prefect is here."

"please."

"Hua, let me collect it for you first." The sword master stepped forward and said.

"Thank you."

"polite."

...

"Oh, Brother Zheng, what's the matter, I heard that something happened to you in Shangchuan County?"

Xu Wenzu was still so fat. When he was busy with military affairs and government affairs, he was swollen and puffy. When everything was going well, he was fat.

"Well, something happened to one of the subordinates in the mansion before. He was injured here and was living among the people. He was sold into a red tent and became a husband."

Zheng Houye sighed as he spoke.

He mobilized the nearby garrison troops in Shangchuan County. It is impossible to hide such a big movement from others, so it is better to say it openly.

The dignified Pingxi Hou Ye, the people in the mansion actually had such a thing, isn't it normal for the Hou Ye to be angry and dispatch troops to avenge his personal revenge?

As for being domineering by ginseng, this thing is not even as good as scratching an itch for the current Ping Xihou.

Of course, if anyone dares to participate in a performance with bad intentions, then those who dare to participate in this performance will definitely be punished first in the court. The reason is very simple, Lord Pingxi does have the strength of bad intentions.

"Is the person okay?" Xu Wenzu asked.

"My brain hasn't been trained yet."

"I mean people." Xu Wenzu raised his buttocks and blinked.

"I haven't had time to pick up the guests yet."

This may be the luck of misfortune.

"That's good, that's good."

"I said, brother, your focus is quite peculiar."

"Hey, I haven't told you about this. I've only heard of Jinfeng Piaoyi before, and I didn't think it mattered. Thinking of your brother, I am also a dignified man, and I grew up by the desert;

But who knew that after entering Yingdu, every time he went to a banquet, his mother's banquet would have such a grandiose companion to accompany the guests...

Brother, I am too embarrassed to refuse, do as the Romans do, don't you? "

"Thanks for your hard work."

Zheng Fan actually sympathizes with Xu Wenzu, because Xu Wenzu's figure and appearance are like a human figure with a pig's mane. He is tired of eating ginseng fruit, and he likes to play with new tricks.

Of course, this is misunderstood.

Furthermore, the big families in Jin regard masculinity as an "elegant thing", that is, a gift more expensive than gold, silver and concubine concubines;

In Jindi, the family has a lot of background, raising a singer and dancer is nothing, but raising a handsome man, this is called a face;

A precious gift should be given to the person with the most important status.

"Straight mother thief, brother, do you know what is the most annoying thing?"

"What is it?"

"Hey, brother, I have opened my eyes. In this world, there are really men who are more beautiful than women, and they are not young or old!"

"oh."

Lord Zheng Hou looked at Xu Wenzu and blinked.

"Brother, I have never touched it."

"OK."

"But sometimes, I'm afraid after thinking about it. After being teased for a long time, I really feel a little eager to try."

"hehe."

Lord Zheng nodded.

There is no tension between the two of them now.

Because Xu Wenzu has long been regarded as half of the Liu Ye Party, and now that Ji Chengjue is the emperor, there is no need to worry about his official career.

If you want to continue to work in this position as a big official in Xinjiang for a few more years, then continue. If you want to change positions, then go back to Yanjing. At least the position of a minister is reserved for him.

Therefore, this time we met, there was a lot of leisure to talk about romance.

"By the way, brother Zheng, the garrison general of Yupan City, you mention someone, and I will install him."

"I understand, I will arrange it after I go back. In addition, the magistrate must be mine."

Xu Wenzu squinted his eyes, smiled, and said, "Look at what you said, brother, why should I be reluctant?"

"Brother, it's not that I'm greedy, nor is it that I want to enclose Jindong as my own backyard, but that His Majesty and I have already discussed it. After two years of recuperation, we will almost start doing it.

The soldiers and horses under my command, the leaders of the various armies, must be reorganized and resettled again. If the fence is not fastened, there is no way to deploy it. "

"Okay, I understand, I understand."

"Have you eaten?" Zheng Fan asked.

"No, I asked the county magistrate to prepare to go."

"Okay, let's eat together."

"Isn't that nonsense?"

During this meal, the county magistrate accompanied him and kept pouring wine and talking with him. Zheng Fan and Xu Wenzu ate quite comfortably.

After the meal, without waiting for tea, Xu Wenzu smiled and said that since he had nothing to do, he went back first, which also showed that Zheng Fan seemed to have something on his mind.

Zheng Fan sent Xu Wenzu out of the county office.

If there is no accident, the two will be the best partners in the next few years.

After returning, Zheng Fan went to see the situation of little monk Fan again.

I heard from the maid that he had just eaten, but now he fell asleep again, and the doctor also prescribed medicine for him to recuperate his body.

Zheng Fan didn't go in to disturb him anymore. When he was walking towards his house, he passed the garden and saw a pretty woman walking towards him with cakes.

"Master Hou, this is a specialty of my Shangchuan County. Candied brown sugar cake is made in a unique way. You can't eat it in other places. Would you like to try it?"

As he spoke, he reached out and picked up a piece to Zheng Fan's mouth.

"well."

Lord Zheng Hou sighed, this one should be the concubine of the county magistrate.

"This Marquis is not in the mood. Go back and tell your master, if you finish Ben Hou's errands, I will accept his favor."

"Yes, my lord."

Zheng Fan walked out of the garden and saw the Juggernaut sitting on the steps basking in the afternoon sun, with a smile on his lips.

"What are you laughing at?"

The Sword Master shook his head and said: "It turns out that as long as you become an official, it doesn't matter whether you are from Yan or Jin, they are all the same."

"You just know?"

"When will you return?" the Sword Master asked.

Because of the matter of little monk Fan, it was delayed for a few days.

"I'm thinking about Fan's physical condition is not very good, and I can't stand the exhaustion of the journey, so I will stay here for now. Tomorrow, you and I will return to Fengxin City first."

"Then what's going on here?"

"Change the blind man to cook."

"Okay." The Juggernaut agreed.

Since Siniang had already left for Shengle to investigate the traffickers, Zheng Fan slept alone after dinner.

This time, I didn't sleep very well, and woke up after sleeping for less than two hours.

Outside, with the north wind blowing, Zheng Fan lay on the bed, staring at the window opposite the bed, lost in thought.

After lying on his side like this for a long time, suddenly, someone outside came to report:

"Master Hou, that little master is awake and wants to see you."

"knew."

Without delay, Zheng Fan got up, dressed, and walked out of his bedroom.

When he came to the room where Fan was, he saw Fan lying on the ground, his hands and feet spasming constantly.

"Master Hou, when he woke up at night, we prepared food for him. He asked where this place was after he had eaten two bites, and then clamored to see you. Now, it has become like this..."

"Okay, you all stand back, no one is allowed to approach without my order."

"Yes, my lord."

"Yes, my lord."

The maidservants all retreated.

At this time, the Juggernaut wearing a white lining came over and stood by the door, squinting his eyes.

Liao Fan raised his head and looked at Zheng Fan, the pain on his face disappeared instantly, and turned into a look of surprise,

shouted:

"My lord, my lord, my lord!"

"Are you awake?"

Zheng Fan moved forward.

Suddenly,

A stern look flashed in Liao Fan's pupils, and he screamed:

"It's you, it's you who made my master and apprentice miserable, it's you, it's you!"

As he said that, Liao Fan suddenly rushed towards Zheng Fan.

Zheng Fan didn't hesitate. After all, he is a fifth-rank master. Even if the little monk suddenly went crazy, he would never get close to him. After this kick, Liao Fan was kicked out and hit two It stopped after the coffee table.

"vomit………"

Then, Liao Fan started to vomit violently.

Only this time, the vomit had an obvious black fishy sticky substance.

Zheng Fan picked up the lit candle, covered his nose, walked forward, inspected it, and then stepped on it with the sole of his boot, and there was a "bajibaji" sound.

"Old Yu, come and have a look, what is this?"

"No, smelly."

Juggernaut refused very directly.

He was able to come out to accompany him at night because Zheng Fan promised to go home at dawn.

Furthermore, Zheng Fan is now around, there is no one else, he is worried about Lord Pingxi, afraid of the dark.

Lord Zheng Hou was also able to let go, picked up the chopsticks that had fallen on the ground from the ground next to him, picked up the black ball, then turned around and brought it to the Juggernaut.

The Juggernaut held his breath,

Look at the black sticky substance caught by the chopsticks.

"Does it look like kelp?"

The Juggernaut seemed to recognize this thing, took a closer look, and said:

"It's black grass."

"Oh, what a vivid name."

The black ones, like kelp, are called black grass.

"There are things that grow on the snowfields, but the herdsmen on the snowfields know that they should not eat them unless it is absolutely necessary. This is the same as Guanyin soil.

However, eating this food won't bloat your stomach, but it can confuse people's minds. It's fine for animals to eat it, but it's easy for people to have brain problems if they eat it. "

Zheng Fan pointed to the little monk Fan who was kicked over there by himself,

"It means that the current state of his brain is the black grass before. He ate too much?"

"There should be some reason for this. Maybe it's because you took the medicine prescribed by the doctor for two days, and the kick you just did has some effect."

At this time,

Little monk Fan got up and sat up,

He looked at Zheng Fan and Juggernaut standing at the door in a daze again.

then,

He stretched out his hand and pointed at Zheng Fan,

cried weakly;

"Master Hou... Hurry up and save my master... Hurry up and save my master..."

Lord Zheng Hou asked with some surprise:

"Your master, is he still alive?"

"..." said little monk Fan.

A breath of depression condensed in the young monk's throat, but he couldn't get it up, rolled his eyes, and almost passed out.

The sword master made a move, and his figure came to Fan's side in an instant, his fingertips touched Fan's chest, and he swiped upwards.

"call…………"

Liao Fan suddenly let out a long breath, and then began to pant again.

at last,

His eyes fell on Lord Zheng Hou who was standing in front of him again.

"Master Hou, Master stayed there to save me. I ran out and came to find Master Hou, to find Master Hou, to save my master, save my master."

"Tell me carefully, did the two of you master and apprentice discover something in the extreme north?"

"Master Hou, you asked us to find that thing, no, that person, we found it, he is alive, he is alive."

"Speak slowly, what is the specific situation of that person? What does he look like?"

"It's just...human."

Lord Zheng gritted his teeth,

Said: "On the body, naked?"

"No, wearing armor, wearing armor, black armor, holding a knife in his hand, eyes, so scary, so scary..."

"He left behind your master?"

"No, he didn't move, the ice cracked by itself, and...then..."

Little monk Liao Fan covered his head,

"My mind is so messed up, so messed up..."

"Don't worry, think about it slowly..."

"Master and I finally climbed out, and then someone asked us, why we are here, why are we here... No, this seems to be asked before, before, before falling down and climbing out ,

No, no, someone asked me before Master and I touched the ice layer..."

Obviously, Liao Fan's memory has not been fully recovered, and there are contradictions in the time nodes when narrating.

"A woman... There is a woman."

Liao Fan suddenly looked at Zheng Fan firmly.

"What kind of woman?" Zheng Fan asked immediately.

"Master said that she is very good-looking, yes, Master said and said it."

"Then what?"

"The woman asked the master, asked the master, why are we master and apprentice here, who sent us here, yes, it was she who asked, and she asked."

"How did your master answer?" Zheng Fan could only ask slowly along his train of thought.

"Master said that he is the guest of Lord Pingxi, follow him, and you can live a good life in the temple in the future."

"..." Zheng Fan.

"Hehe." The Juggernaut couldn't help laughing.

"And then?" Zheng Fan could only continue to ask.

"Then...then master, woman, woman, master, and then..."

Monk Liaofan started holding his head again,

"Then, the eyes opened, the ice layer cracked, Master and I, crawled, crawled..."

The little monk Liaofan fell asleep while talking, not because he was not feeling well, but because he was exhausted.

Although he was either eating or sleeping for the past two days, in fact, his mind had been violently colliding with each other, and the exhaustion of his mind was the most tormenting.

"I understand a little better." Zheng Fan said.

"You can also understand this?" The Juggernaut was a little curious.

Zheng Fan nodded,

road:

"The master and apprentice didn't find the person under the ice by themselves.

Instead,

After being caught and sent to the ice, it was treated as...

sacrifice. "
