Villain: I am not good at fighting.

Chapter 515: Bait in the Sky - Sage Liu

In the second year of the Zhaoli reign, a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky and a son was born to the Liu clan in Jiangnan, who was named Liu Zhi.

This child was extremely intelligent. He could read and write at the age of three, could compose a poem in seven steps at the age of seven, and could discuss the past and present with university scholars at the age of ten.

People in the world called him a child prodigy, and it was said that Liu Zhi of the Liu family would become a saint in the future and leave his reputation for generations to come.

However, things did not always go as planned. In the 22nd year of the Zhaoli reign, a plague broke out in the south of the Yangtze River and the people were displaced. Liu Zhi saw his old friends and relatives die tragically every day.

He was helpless. At this time, a "strong" old beggar came to him for alms. Liu Zhi gave him all the money he had.

Seeing his sincerity, the old beggar thanked him gratefully and said:

“Saint Liu, do you know that there is a snowy mountain fifty miles south of the Yangtze River, on which there is a Taoist temple called Luoxia Temple, and in the temple there is a fairy lady.

Her name is Fairy Luoxia. It is rumored that she is the only student of Beichen Tianguan. Because she made mistakes when she was young, she was punished by Tianguan and was not allowed to enter the world.

The people all say that you are the reincarnation of a saint. If you want to rule the world, why don’t you go to that immortal mountain and become his disciple to learn the secret recipe for ruling the world?”

After saying this, the old beggar turned and left, singing in the sunset:

"Today I have achieved my lofty ambitions, how dare I laugh at the heavens for not being a man..."

Liu Zhi didn't hear clearly, he was immersed in the information just now. "Beichen Tianguan" has frequently appeared since Emperor Zhao advocated Confucianism and filial piety in governing the country.

He is the most holy teacher and the master of all scholars in the world.

"There is no Confucius or Mencius in this world. All truths come from the Beichen Tianguan, the Tianguan..."

Liu Zhi seemed to be thinking about something, and then he resolutely said, putting aside all the distracting thoughts in his mind:

"I, Liu Zhi, have no interest in becoming an immortal or a Buddha, but I have the determination to save the world and the people.

After twenty years, I have received the love of my parents and the people. I cannot let them down. I must at least live up to their expectations."

Strangely enough, the old beggar disappeared as soon as he turned the corner. Liu Zhi did not go looking for him. He had seen this kind of weird guy several times since he was a child.

There are Taoists and monks. Some say he is a natural saint, and some say he is a genius in governing the world.

The most outrageous thing was that when he was ten years old, there was a guy who stole the offerings and said he was the best in Beijing.

I have never been to the capital city since I was a child.

There are too many unexplainable phenomena in this world, but the care of his parents allowed Liu Zhi, an orphan in his previous life, to experience a different kind of warmth.

He wants to protect the current Liu family, he wants to keep this warmth, and for this, he is willing to go through mountains of swords and seas of fire.

Two days later, Liu Zhi set out on the journey to immortality with the reluctance of his family. On the way, he once again saw the cruelty of the plague and the hell on earth.

Fairy Luoxia was punished and unable to enter the world, so let him come to inherit the unique knowledge of the ancient sages and bring peace to the world.

Drive, drive, drive...

A group of soldiers came from afar and ruthlessly killed the people infected with the plague along the way. Liu Zhi became anxious on the spot and hurriedly protected a civilian.

"drink!"

Lift your waist, step forward, and raise your hands and elbows.

"Baji collapse!"

The officers and soldiers who rushed in front of him were immediately thrown to the ground. Seeing this, his accomplices behind him raised their knives and rushed towards him. Liu Zhi slid and punched the horse in the belly.

"Oh my god! This sickly kid knows martial arts!"

The officers and soldiers stood up with their teeth bared, and saw that Liu Zhi looked refreshed and did not look like a sickly person infected by the plague. Instead, he looked like a scholar of noble status.

"Who are you, and why are you hanging out with the troublemakers here?"

"My name is Liu Zhi. I would like to ask you, as soldiers, why do you kill civilians for no reason?"

Liu Zhi shouted in a stern voice, revealing an invisible domineering aura, like thunder and lightning in broad daylight. The officers and soldiers were so frightened that they trembled all over and dared not look at him.

"But is it the Saint Liu Zhiliu of the Jiangnan Liu Family?"

"It's down!"

The officer's expression suddenly became flattering. He pulled his companion who had just stood up and called on the others to gather together, saying:

"I was blind and didn't recognize the real talent. Please don't blame me, Saint Liu. It's not that we killed innocent people, but the plague spread too quickly.

The governor ordered us to quickly eliminate the infected people to prevent the plague from spreading outward. If Saint Liu leaves them here, more people will die.

Killing them will stop the plague from spreading. You are a saint, what do you think we should do?"

Kill the few and save the many, this is an eternal problem. In his previous life, Liu Zhi didn’t know how to choose, but in this life he has a better choice.

"Everyone, can you gather the people infected with the plague into one area and rescue them when I return from Luoxia Mountain?"

"Luoxia Mountain..."

The officers and soldiers' eyes lit up and they said enthusiastically:

"Saint Liu, are you going to look for the only student of the most holy teacher, the merciful and compassionate one who saves people from suffering, the most famous person in the world, Fairy Luoxia?"

The officers and soldiers' eyes were extremely fanatical. The immortal they had admired for many years was also admired by others, which was a double happiness.

"Great mercy, eh... where do I start?"

Liu Zhi was puzzled, didn't she make a mistake and was punished by Beichen Tianguan and banned from entering the world? Where did her great compassion come from to save people from suffering?

“It is said that Fairy Luoxia argued with the Supreme Saint Master, saving others and saving oneself, and only by adhering to one’s original heart and not being eroded by the six desires and evil fire can one better save the people.

Fairy Luoxia advocates indulging in the six desires, helping all living beings to sink into the sea of ​​suffering. Only when they are not addicted and can they free themselves can they truly save others and themselves.

The Great Saint Master thought this was a perverse theory, so he punished Fairy Luoxia by not allowing her to enter the secular world. "

"I think the Great Saint is right."

Liu Zhi frowned and bowed.

The officer did not argue with him and gave him a weird smile.

"That's true, but Fairy Luoxia is the most beautiful woman in the world. I, a fool, am sinking in the sea of ​​suffering and it is difficult to escape. I really hope Fairy Luoxia can save us."

"It's disgusting. I am ashamed to be associated with you!"

The officer hurriedly stopped Liu Zhi who was about to leave and said apologetically:

“Alas, please calm down, Saint Liu. We are vile and despicable people who are not worthy of being on the stage. We just heard that Fairy Luoxia was born with a mysterious Yin body.

The most taboo is the six desires and evil fires, so you have such unrealistic ideas. You are going to Luoxia Mountain, and there are plagues and bandits along the way.

It is not safe for you to go alone, I will call a few brothers to escort you to the foot of Luoxia Mountain, and hope that you will return soon to save the people from suffering. "

Liu Zhi stopped and thought that although this soldier was rude, his intentions were not bad.

"Thank you, brother. May I ask your name?"

The officer waved his hands and said:

"I dare not call myself a master in front of Saint Liu. My surname is Xiao and my name is Zhiren."

"You are well-educated, sensible, kind, and virtuous. I will remember your name, brother."

The officer was stunned for a moment, and didn't react. Then he shook his head wildly and looked after the other officers and soldiers:

"Four, five, six... Number seven, number eight, brothers, escort Saint Liu to Luoxia Mountain. Don't let anything go wrong along the way."

The officers and soldiers who were called out responded in unison, their bodies straightened:

"Yes, Mr. Flag Officer!"

"Saint Liu, whether these people infected with the plague can survive depends on you. I will report the truth to the governor and delay it for a month at most."

Liu Zhi didn't expect that the flag officer could actually guarantee a month's delay. He felt more responsible and promised solemnly:

"Brother Zhiren, Liu Zhi will definitely live up to everyone's expectations!"

After taking the official horse presented by the flag officer, Liu Zhi mounted the horse and rode away.
