When they were approaching the main peak, there were already twenty or thirty monks surrounding Wu Sheng. There were also temporary thatched bamboo huts in the mountain valleys. Ordinary soldiers in groups of three or five, each holding a bow and spear, looked at him in confusion.
They passed by.
Although Hufang is dead, there are still many people who are loyal to the motherland.
Someone with good intentions spread the word about Wu Sheng's deeds, which suddenly made the ordinary soldiers excited and their morale was greatly boosted.
After Wu Sheng inquired, he learned that in these days, there have been over a hundred monks from Hufang who have defected to Leigong Mountain, with more than ten military vehicles, thousands of soldiers, and many old people, young and old, and their family members. They have really gathered a sizable force.
Strength, many small countries cannot muster so many monks and soldiers.
Of course, because Hufang was originally a big country, with an area of hundreds of miles and a population of hundreds of thousands, even its remaining power was much stronger than many small countries.
The cheers reached the foot of the main peak. When I looked up, a yellow tiger flag appeared on the hillside in front of me. Many people under the flag were stopping to look at it.
Because it was unsightly, Jin Wuhuan had already been taken to see his teacher, Taoist Mu, by his junior brothers in advance, so the one who was guiding Wu Sheng at the moment was one of Jin Wuhuan's junior brothers, named Hu Tou.
As his name suggests, this man has the head of a tiger and the head of a tiger. He pointed at the hillside and said: "Mr. Wu, Mr. Zhui has come to greet you personally!"
Gongzi Zhui was the son of the king of Hufang. After Hufang's city was destroyed, the king was captured by the Chu army and sent to Yingdu. He escaped with the desperate protection of a group of dead soldiers and was found by Mu Tao people and protected in Leigong Mountain.
To restore the country.
This young master was young and looked to be no more than seventeen or eighty years old. When we met, he bowed to Wu Sheng and said, "I have met you sir. Ever since I heard that you had assassinated the minister of Chu State, I have admired you deeply. Today I finally get to meet you sir."
Yes. With Mr. helping me, there is hope for the restoration of the country!"
Wu Sheng hurriedly returned the gift and seemed to be humble for a while. Not only was he humble, but he also felt guilty. He felt like he was being roasted on a fire. The flames under his body were getting stronger and stronger, which was quite uncomfortable.
After greeting Master Zhui, Wu Sheng immediately proposed to meet with Mu Taoist. He decided to be an honest man, admit his mistakes in a down-to-earth manner, confess his current situation, and ask Mu Taoist to accept him as his disciple.
Nothing is as important as practice!
Wu Sheng climbed to the main peak of Leigong Mountain. There was a stone cave more than ten feet away from the peak, which was the cave where Mu Taoist practiced.
According to Jin Wuhuan's introduction on the road, his teacher has been in the Return to the Void Realm for many years. He doesn't go out much, so he is not well-known, but he can be called a master-level figure, and he is also one of the few great masters in the world. Therefore,
Wu Sheng was very respectful and paid homage as a junior.
Mu Taoist was wearing a green Taoist robe, with a long beard that reached his knees. He looked a bit like an immortal Taoist. He was also very friendly to Wu Sheng: "I asked Wu Huan to look for you, and you are indeed here. Come on."
Just do it, Lei Gongshan is looking forward to you, haha."
He lifted Wu Sheng up with a smile, and his smile suddenly stopped.
Wu Sheng said in a low voice: "This junior has some kind words to report."
Mu Taoren nodded, told everyone to retreat, and led Wu Sheng into the depths of the cave: "My little friend is seriously injured?"
Wu Sheng admitted: "When Zhaoshe was assassinated that day, the scholar Sun Jiezi was guarding him. In order to hit the target with one blow, he had to fight to the death to eat the pair of golden hooks."
Mu Taoren reached out to grab Wu Sheng's wrist again, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and asked, "What are your plans, little friend?"
Wu Sheng paid his respects again: "Back then, I heard that the senior has a miraculous skill that can heal the wounds of the Qi Sea. The junior is not talented, so I asked the senior to become my disciple!"
The Mu Taoist thought for a long time and said, "No, I cannot accept you as my disciple."
Wu Sheng was dumbfounded: "This junior is very sincere in his apprenticeship. After getting started, he is willing to follow you... Is it because my junior's qualifications are dull?"
Mu Taoren smiled: "I heard that my little friend has reached the peak of the God Refining Realm under the guidance of an unknown master. If your qualifications are dull, there won't be many talented people in the world."
Wu Sheng asked again: "Is it because I was an assassin in the past? I am willing to turn around and be safe..."
Mu Taoren shook his head: "Assassin Wu Sheng, Pindao has heard of your name before. Although he is an assassin, he has an upright character. I heard that there are three things not to kill: women, children, the elderly and the weak, and people who are unable to resist. It is extremely valuable not to kill a gentleman of noble character. It is extremely valuable to have these three principles of not killing. Although I will not accept you as a disciple, I am willing to help you heal your wounds, so don't worry."
The final twist surprised Wu Sheng: "Why is this?"
Mu Taoist smiled and said: "These many people with lofty ideals have come to join me for the great cause of Hu Fang. I am famous and a role model in the world. I can boost morale and unite people's hearts. If I accept you as my disciple, there may be something wrong."
Mu Taoist promised to solve the problem of Qi Hai for Wu Sheng in a few days and teach him the Qingmiao Xuan Gong. After Wu Sheng said goodbye, a guard from Young Master Zhui led him to a bamboo house: "Mr. Wu, this is a gift from Young Master." , the current conditions are simple, please bear with me, sir."
This bamboo house was very spacious, and it was made of fresh bamboo and new wood. In some places, the branches and leaves had not been pruned. It was obviously built specially for him on a temporary basis.
The surrounding environment is also good. It is hidden among pines and bamboos. There are no other residences nearby. There is a gurgling stream three feet below. The stream is covered with snow. It is relatively quiet. Wu Sheng is very satisfied.
Two more maids with Emei and pink flowers came out from the back of the house. They were graceful in figure and beautiful in appearance. The guard said: "Young master is afraid that Mr. Wu will have inconvenience in his daily life, so he specially asked them to come here to serve you."
The two maids entered the bamboo house and immediately began to clean up. They worked very neatly, but Wu Sheng felt a headache.
It is said that people must ask for something from others. During his exile, he was able to allocate two maids to Wu Sheng. It is obvious that he has high hopes for Wu Sheng. What high hopes are, you can know without asking.
But he knows his own affairs best. Although he has such a big name, it is just a name in vain. If he really wants to take action, even if he has no power to tie the chicken, he can basically not be of much help.
So he quickly declined and wanted to let him take the person away, but the guard refused to comply and only said that it was Master Zhui's order.
After the guards left, the two maids knelt down and kowtowed, saying with panic: "Sir, do you think your maids are rough? Your maids don't dare to expect to sleep with you on the bed. They only want to sweep the courtyard, wash and cook. I just ask you, sir, not to rush the maids and so on." Walk."
Wu Sheng comforted him and said, "I'm not saying you're not good. I've always been used to it. I don't need anyone to accompany me, and I don't receive salary for no merit. I'll go and tell the young master myself later..."
The two maids kowtowed repeatedly: "Please forgive me sir and spare my life. If sir refuses, I'm afraid I won't be able to live again after I return!"
Wu Sheng was speechless for a moment, thinking that this might really be the case. He couldn't help but feel a headache, and waved his hand: "You guys go to work first."
The second maid wiped away her tears and continued working, which made Wu Sheng blame himself. At this moment, someone came to visit him, and it was Situ Jiping. When Wu Sheng arrived at Leigong Mountain in the early morning, this Ji Situ was in front of the master. Next to him is his right-hand man.
Situ Guanmin was one of the three ministers and was considered a big shot, so Wu Sheng immediately treated him with courtesy.
After the two sat across from each other, Ji Ping got straight to the point: "Young master wants to recruit you to be a Sikou. I wonder what you want to do?"
