Chapter 542 Poisonous? Imprison her!

Chapter 542: Immortal poison? Imprison her!

Strangely, for a long time, Xu Qingluan felt that she was still conscious and could still hear Zhang Zhun's breathing. Yes, it was indeed Zhang Zhun's breathing. At first, she thought it was an hallucination, an hallucination brought from the world after a person died. However, slowly, she noticed something was wrong, as if in addition to Zhang Zhun's breathing, she also noticed the sound of Zhang Zhun's footsteps walking back and forth.

Xu Qingluan slowly opened her eyes, and indeed saw Zhang Zhun walking back and forth in front of her, and from time to time, she glanced at her eyes, with a very strange look. Xu Qingluan immediately realized that she was just being tested by Zhang Zhun. He didn't really want to kill him. The potion in the white porcelain bottle was not poison at all.

Suddenly, a wave of unsatisfied joy suddenly surged into her heart. The joy of the aftermath of the disaster made her feel like she stood up and cheered. This feeling seemed to have not been there for a long time. As the Virgin of the Scented Sect, she must maintain a gentle, generous and steady image at all times, and suppress her personal emotions at all times. Whether it is happiness or sadness, she cannot vent her emotions at all times.

Everything about her has been bound by the image of the White Lotus Virgin. In the eyes of the incense-smelling scholars, she is the White Lotus Virgin, and the White Lotus Virgin is her. Whatever the White Lotus Virgin should be, she should be like. All her behavioral and moral standards must meet the requirements of the White Lotus Virgin. If it does not meet the requirements, she cannot do it, and even dare not even think about it. She feels that she is not living at all, but another person, another person named White Lotus Virgin.

But now, she felt like she was a real woman. Unconsciously, she removed the burden on her body, removed the halo on her body, removed all the disguise, and removed the shell that enveloped her body. She was just a woman, a young woman, or a young and beautiful woman. A character like the White Lotus Madonna is dead and has been poisoned to death by poison. Now she has no connection with the White Lotus Madonna.

Seeing Xu Qingluan's face changing constantly, Zhang Zhun had no intention of speaking. No matter who it is, after being tentative like this, it takes a lot of time to sort out her thoughts. From a certain perspective, Xu Qingluan has indeed died once. At least, deep in her heart, she has indeed died once. Now she is no longer the same as before.

Xu Qingluan said slowly: "Zhang Zhun, why do you do this?"

Zhang Zhun sighed slightly and said slowly: "Sir Xu Tian, ​​it's a miracle that you can live until now."

Xu Qingluan actually had a rare posture of a little daughter. The corners of her mouth were gently raised, and there was a faint blush on her beautiful cheeks. She said coquettishly: "The only one who can force the fragrance scent to this point is to force me to commit suicide by taking medicine, is only you, Zhang Zhun."

She suddenly realized that her tone of speaking was a bit wrong, not at all as steady as before, and seemed to have a bit of frivolousness. What's even more strange is that she felt that after taking the poison sent by Zhang Zhun, she not only did not hate Zhang Zhun, but instead looked like Zhang Zhun's coquettishness. Logically, she should have hated Zhang Zhun, the bad guy Zhang Zhun. However, she just couldn't hate her. On the contrary, she felt that her relationship with Zhang Zhun was actually very close.

She could still feel that she liked the feeling in front of her. This was the first time she really felt her inner emotions and released this inner emotions smoothly. From childhood to adulthood, she wrapped herself in the halo of the White Lotus Virgin. She didn't look like a woman at all, but like a puppet, a puppet that thousands of people worshipped but did not have joy, anger, sorrow and joy.

The person who helped her get rid of this puppet character was the man in front of her. I don’t know whether he was intentional or unintentional. In short, he successfully achieved this. Xu Qingluan firmly believed in her heart that the Virgin of White Lotus had been poisoned to death. Now she is just another person. Another person who can live in her own world and have her own joys, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

Zhang Zhun did not notice Xu Qingluan's mentality change. Sometimes he was very sensitive, but sometimes he was very nervous. He said seriously and seriously: "I rely on force not on force, but on the hearts of the people."

Xu Qingluan once again showed a rare look of her little daughter's house posture, her eyes became very clear and bright, her mouth was slightly raised, her hands subconsciously covered her together, and said with an interesting look: "People's hearts? Would you like to hear it carefully?"

Zhang Zhun clapped his hands and shouted loudly outside: "Dong Shuyan, come in."

Dong Shuyan hurriedly came in from outside and saw Xu Qingluan sitting there, with a hint of smile on the corner of her mouth. For a moment, she was stunned. She found that she had never seen her master smile like this before. This was purely a feeling, a kind of intuition. She felt that her master suddenly became much closer, and it was like a night of spring breeze and thousands of pear blossoms blooming.

In fact, when it comes to age, Xu Qingluan is not much older than Dong Shuyan. Their master-apprentice status was decided when they were very young. In the past, Dong Shuyan felt that her master was always in a proper manner, and she did things in a regular manner every day, and spoke in a proper manner, as if she had no feelings at all, let alone the innocence and cuteness of her daughter's family.

For this reason, Dong Shuyan has also complained to her master many times, thinking that her master is like a wood, but the master always punishes her in a regular manner. But now, she actually feels that her master seems to have recovered a little bit of spiritual energy. The feeling of being raised at the corners of her mouth... Is she acting coquettishly to Zhang Zhun?

For a moment, Dong Shuyan felt confused and didn't know what happened to the two of them during the period when she left. Her master would actually act coquettishly at Zhang Zhunqiao's mouth? If it weren't for seeing it with his own eyes, Dong Shuyan wouldn't believe it even if she was crushed to pieces. It was incredible, too incredible.

Who would have thought that she seemed like a wooden master who knew how to act coquettishly! She still acted coquettishly to Zhang Zhun! At the beginning, Dong Shuyan thought she was confused and had hallucinations. As a result, after rubbing her eyes, she found that everything she saw still existed. She had to believe that everything she saw was indeed true.

Xu Qingluan suddenly turned her head to look at Dong Shuyan, her eyes full of care, as if her sister was looking at her sister, and said gently: "Yan'er, what are you doing while standing? Sit down!"

Dong Shuyan's mind buzzed again, feeling as if something exploded. It seemed that someone in her mind repeatedly told her that your master was so gentle, and she wasn't talking with a stern face, but she was so caring for herself...

Because the contrast was too great, Dong Shuyan could not believe that her master had become so gentle, just like her sister. While she was suspicious, she suddenly saw fragments of porcelain bottles on the ground, and couldn't help but look shocked, and asked in confusion: "Zhang Zhun, what did you do? What did you eat for my master?"

Zhang Zhun said bluntly: "Your master just drank the poison. She has died once. Now she is no longer the same as before."

Dong Shuyan was slightly stunned, then said in a lost voice: "You are so cruel!"

Zhang Zhun said coldly: "You should thank your master. If it weren't for her decision, she would have been determined to end the trouble. You and your backbone subordinates would not survive."

Dong Shuyan said angrily: "You!"

Zhang Zhun said coldly: "The Tartars are about to launch a third invasion. I will not allow any discord on my territory. If your master and apprentice try to play tricks with me, you will all die!"

Xu Qingluan and Dong Shuyan were slightly stunned, and Xiuli's faces changed, and they both said in disbelief: "The Tartars are going to launch a third invasion?"

Zhang Zhun snorted coldly in his nostrils and said disdainfully: "They came for me, why are you nervous?"

Xu Qingluan wanted to speak but stopped.

Dong Shuyan said angrily: "Hey! Zhang Zhun, don't think that we dare not kill the Tartars when we smell the incense sect! We just don't have the ability! Sell me the weapons of your Tiger Army and I'll kill a few Tartars for you to see!"

Zhang Zhun said bluntly: "First care about your incense sect, you will kill the Tartars! If you really want to kill the Tartars, why didn't you kill outside Dengzhou City before?"

Dong Shuyan rolled her eyes in anger.

Zhang Zhun ignored her and said to Xu Qingluan: "Master Xu Tian, ​​I'll ask you a serious question. Do you really think that the empty hometown of the old mother can be realized?"

Xu Qingluan said devoutly: "Of course."

Zhang Zhun said deeply: "So, how do you plan to achieve it?"

Dong Shuyan interjected and said, "Super the current court and build a new society!"

Zhang Zhun sneered slightly and asked slowly: "Then how are you going to overthrow the court?"

Dong Shuyan opened her mouth and said without hesitation: "Build high walls, accumulate grain, and be king slowly."

Zhang Zhun couldn't help laughing, and gently knocked on the table with both hands, saying loudly: "What a high wall, you can accumulate grain, and be king slowly. It's really amazing! Then, I ask you, where is your wall? Where is the grain?"

Dong Shuyan said reflexively: "The wall is in the hearts of each of us believers, and the food is in the enemy. As long as we mobilize everyone and be brave to make progress, we can turn the enemy's food into our own food. The more enemies we destroy, the more food we accumulate."

Zhang Zhun said meaningfully: "What do you mean, are you going to make a living by long-term looting? Have you never thought of producing food on your own?"

Dong Shuyan said bluntly: "The world is not kind, and treats all things as straw dogs; saints are not kind, and treats the people as straw dogs. Those powerful landlords, gentry and powerful people, and without a good person, what's wrong with looting? Haven't your Tiger Army ever robbed the big family?"

Zhang Zhun looked at Xu Qingluan with his eyes squinted and said slowly: "Sir Xu Tian, ​​is this your disciple?"

Dong Shuyan was immediately angry and wanted to argue again. In the end, she looked at Xu Qingluan's face habitually. She felt that her master seemed to be very different from before, and seemed to be much gentler and more elegant. However, she was used to being scolded by her master before, but she did not dare to surpass her at all.

Xu Qingluan smiled slightly and said tactfully: "Yan'er, don't be angry, you can listen to what the governor said first."

Dong Shuyan looked at her master in surprise again. She felt that her master seemed to have changed someone else. In the past, she would never be so gentle when she talked to her. With just a gentle word or even a wink, she could only face the wall and think about it. Could it be that Zhang Zhun’s poison is really so powerful? It can actually change a person? If I had known it, I would have got some poison for the master... Amitabha, sins.

Zhang Zhun nodded and said bluntly: "Shi Shi Xu, Wusheng Lao Mother, is nothing more than an alternative saying of the world's harmony. To establish a Datong society, it is useless to just shout slogans. Rebellion requires people, money, food, guns, and people's hearts. People, you have money, a little bit of food, and a little bit of guns, basically no."

Xu Qingluan's face was obviously hesitant, and she wanted to speak but stopped. Obviously, Zhang Zhun's words were too straightforward and difficult for her to accept. She was used to immersed in the role of the White Lotus Madonna, and she was better at inciting remarks. Although she had now broken free from the role of the White Lotus Madonna, it would take more time to completely eliminate the impact of this character.

With his eyes swept across the two masters and apprentices, Zhang Zhun said without any concealment: "The reason I defeated you is very simple. I have more people than you, more money than you, more food than you, more gun than you, and more people's hearts than you."

Dong Shuyan said dissatisfiedly: "We also have the hearts of the people when smelling the incense."

Zhang Zhun sneered contemptuously and said hard: "Your people are not called the people's hearts at all, they can only be called temptation. Do you think that gathering a group of mobs can accomplish things? You fight against the local tyrants, share the wealth and food, and indeed attract a lot of greedy people. In the short term, you can engulf a large number of people. But what if you have finished the wealth? What if you have finished the food? Have you ever thought about using these people for a long time?"

Dong Shuyan was very unwilling to give up, but she couldn't find a place to refute it. Because Zhang Zhun happened to talk about the pain of the incense smelling sect. Every time the incense smelling sect uprising, at the beginning, it was a huge momentum and mighty one. A large number of people were followed by several prefectures and counties in a radius, and it was very common to carry hundreds of thousands of people. However, with the arrival of the suppression of the officers and soldiers, the personnel would be continuously lost and completely exposed in the end.

The reason is, as Zhang Zhun said, many people come for the food and wealth distributed by the Incense Sect. If there is food and wealth, they can still unite around the Incense Sect, and even use wealth to stimulate them, they still have the courage to fight with the officers and soldiers. They are the most active in conquering the city and siege the land. After the city is broken, they can plunder more materials. However, once the floating wealth is divided and the food is eaten, they will disperse everywhere.

Later, even the officers and soldiers noticed this. When the Yinxiang Cult rebelled, the officers and soldiers often did not send troops to suppress them directly, but instead divided the troops to guard various places, so that the Yinxiang Cult could not grab more food and wealth. After a period of time, the grain that the Yinxiang Cult originally plundered was consumed and it would continue to disperse. At that time, the officers and soldiers would be dispatched to clear the situation again, which would definitely result twice the result with half the effort.

Every time the Smelling Sect rebelled, hundreds of thousands of people gathered, and food was under tremendous pressure. Unless it could guide more prefectures and counties and plunder more food, the food would be eaten soon and the people would disperse soon. Once the people who were bound to disperse, the Smelling Sect would only have some commanders left.

This time, the Smelling Sect was in Laiyang and was also troubled by food problems. Due to the blockade of the Hu Ben Army, the Smelling Sects in Laiyang and Qixia were unable to eat enough food at all. They could not even eat enough food, so they naturally had countless complaints and had no good impression of the Smelling Sect. When the Hu Ben Army came, they had no intention of resisting, and even Wang Yilun could only escape from the distance.

Zhang Zhun continued, "Do you have a complete program? Your doctrine is so empty that it is not feasible to implement it. You are still accustomed to using despicable assassination methods, but you have never thought of defeating the enemy with dignity. Who in this world has obtained it by despicable means? By despicable means, you will lose your own inferiority and will never achieve great things."

"You claim to have ten divine weapons, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black, white and gray, and sounds coquettish, but how many people have truly received professional military training? Taking up weapons does not mean being soldiers! Without training, without organization, without command, without discipline, no matter how many people are, they are all scumbags! Look at the Shaanxi chaos army, there are often tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, but they are beaten by the thousands of Lu Xiangsheng's people. It is always the same saying, soldiers are more expensive than elites!"

Xu Qingluan said convincedly: "Listen to your words is better than reading for ten years, and Qingluan has received teachings."

Dong Shuyan knew that Zhang Zhun was right, but she whispered in dissatisfaction: "Teaching people one by one, is it good for you to do it?"

Zhang Zhun threw out a piece of yellow paper casually and said proudly: "If I don't do well, will your master send me your birth date and horoscope?"

When Dong Shuyan took it, she suddenly turned red, anxious and angry. Her chest under the gauze kept rising and falling, but she couldn't say a word. It turned out that on the yellow paper was her Dong Shuyan's birth date.

At that time, a woman's birth date and horoscope was very secret. Generally, she would only invite her husband to check the birth date and horoscopes of both men and women before getting married. Xu Qingluan gave her birth date and horoscopes to Zhang Zhun, so she naturally had to betroth her to Zhang Zhun. Now, Zhang Zhun used this to refute, and almost pissed Dong Shuyan to death.

In fact, she knew very well that many of Zhang Zhun's words hit the fatal point of the Scented Sect. However, the more Zhang Zhun was hit, the more uncomfortable she felt. People love face. They thought they were doing well, but in the end they were taught a lesson and said nothing. Who can stand it? She was a person who wanted face.

Zhang Zhun reached out and took the yellow paper back, put it in his arms and put it away, and said coldly: "The order of parents and the words of the matchmaker. Your master is your biological parents. Since she is the decision and betrothed to me, even if you want to fly, you can't fly away!"

Dong Shuyan was so angry that she couldn't speak a word.

Who would have thought that things would change so dramatically?

By accident, she became Zhang Zhun's woman! There is nothing more strange in this world than this! Dong Shuyan felt that her eyes were pitch black. Well, from the bottom of her heart, Dong Shuyan was not very resistant to Zhang Zhun. After all, she had contact with her before and had some understanding of Zhang Zhun's personality. Being his woman is not too bad.

However, Dong Shuyan was still depressed enough when she was sold in a daze. But this marriage was promised by Xu Qingluan. If she said something, the water she poured out was impossible to take back the promise as Xu Qingluan. In other words, she would not be able to change her life unless a miracle happened.

Xu Qingluan's cheeks were slightly flushed, and she remembered her promise. I wonder if Zhang Zhun still remembered her promise. If Zhang Zhun remembered it, it would be a problem. In this world, there are sisters who serve the same husband, but no master and disciple. That is a taboo. I hope Zhang Zhun will not remember anything.

After pondering for a moment, Xu Qingluan stabilized her thoughts and said slowly: "Zhang Zhun, I feel relieved if you can accept Yan'er. From now on, I will give her full permission to deal with the matter of the Incense Smelling Scholar. Where will the Incense Smelling Scholar go depends on your thoughts. From then on, I, Xu Qingluan, have always been with the Qinglantern Ancient Buddha, isolated from the world, and never asked about the world again."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said slowly: "Master Xu Tian, ​​you must become a monk and practice. However, there are two conditions. The first is that you must lead the practice. The second is that you cannot leave me."

Dong Shuyan said in anger and helplessly: "Master is already going to become a monk, do you still want to imprison her? Since she said she is isolated from the world, it means being isolated from the world. The matter of the Smelling Sect has nothing to do with her anymore."

Zhang Zhun said coldly: "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop. Your master wants to be isolated from the world. Other remnants of the incense-smelling sect may not necessarily be isolated from the world. Your master does not want to cause trouble, but they may force your master to cause trouble. Unless your master dies, she will not want to leave me. If you think your master is very wronged, okay, there is a bottle of red cranes and real poison here, as long as your master eats it, it will be over."

After saying that, he took out another porcelain bottle and put it on the table with a snap.
