Jianming Chaos

Zhiming slowly opened his eyes, saw the tiles on the roof, saw the spider webs, and saw a ray of sunlight coming in through the cracks in the tiles.He found himself lying on a wooden bed in a small room, covered with a quilt and wrapped in gauze.

"Where am I?" He sat up and found that everything around him was quite familiar.

At this moment, a girl came in and said, "Brother, you're awake."

"Alan!" Zhiming exclaimed excitedly, he touched his face subconsciously, "Is this a dream? How did I get home?"

Alan smiled and sat down next to him.Zhiming held his hand tightly for a long time, like holding the hand of a long-lost blood relative.

Alan looked at him in surprise, feeling like he had just come back from hell.

"Alan, is this really home?" Zhiming suddenly felt a pain in the back of his head, remembering Wujie, and thought he was still in a dream.

After pinching himself a few times to confirm that it was not a dream, he felt incredible that he had really returned home!

"Do you know how we found you?" Alan asked.

Zhiming shook his head.Alain said, "We found you lying on the ground outside your house, your..."

Seeing her hesitate to speak, Zhiming hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

"Your..." Alan was ashamed to speak.

"What's wrong with me? Tell me quickly." Zhiming couldn't wait to know what happened.

Alan summoned up his courage, looked at the floor and said, "You were found naked."

"..." Only then did Zhiming remember that he was naked when he was in Wujie.

"Zhiming!" A familiar voice appeared, and the master came.

"Master!" Zhiming was as excited as seeing his own father when he saw his master.

"Brother, how did you come back? And you don't have any clothes on." Alan asked a little embarrassed.

Just as Zhiming was about to speak, the master interrupted him and said, "Your brother came back to see us on purpose! Alan also said last night that he had a premonition that you would come back soon, but he didn't expect you to come back today."

The master winked at him, and he said, "Oh... yes, I couldn't bear to part with you, so I found a chance to sneak back to see you."

"Then...how did you..." Alan was puzzled.

"Oh, that was an accident, an accident." Zhiming couldn't find a suitable reason for his nakedness.

"Accident?" Alan squinted at him, "What did you do?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the master quickly said: "Alan, let your brother rest for a while. You go and cook, we are all hungry."

Alan wanted to ask more questions, but when he saw the master was there, he had no choice but to go out with a puzzled expression.

Zhiming breathed a sigh of relief.Master sat down beside the bed and looked at him with caring eyes.

"Master, what's going on here?" Zhiming wanted to know the reason why he appeared at home.

"I don't know either. I was chopping firewood at the foot of the mountain. Alan found you lying outside and carried you in. What happened? How did you come home like this?"

"I fought violently before I passed out."

"Is it with Cao Jun?"

"It is, it is not." Zhiming told the master the ins and outs of the matter with some reservations.

Master nodded and said, "It seems that you have experienced a life-and-death calamity! It is really unpredictable, this universe is so amazing, I never expected to see you in this situation; moreover, I can feel that you have become more You were stronger before, so maybe Master can't beat you anymore."

"The energy in my body is innate, and the tricks I use are self-taught, but I still have to thank Master for teaching me martial arts and guiding me how to control the energy channels. In fact, if you only talk about boxing and kicking skills, I can I believe that Master is still more skilled.”

The master looked at him with the eyes of an elder and said, "Zhiming, you have matured again."

Zhiming also looked at Master with grateful eyes and said, "Thank you, Master."

It's really a master-student relationship... No, to be precise, it's a father-son relationship.

Although he can't solve the mystery of the black hole, Zhiming thinks that the universe is a mysterious collection. Many mysteries about the transformation of time and space cannot be solved with the current level of science and cognition. It will be solved by posterity.Anyway, just go home.

Suddenly, he remembered that he hadn't checked out of the Chijin Inn, so he slapped his head; but then he thought, the deposit and the horse were still there, which was almost enough to pay the room fee.

"Master, Brother, it's time to eat!" Alan shouted.

"Come on!" The master responded, "Zhiming, let's eat, you haven't tasted Alan's cooking for a long time."

Zhiming nodded, put on his clothes, went outside with Master, and couldn't help shouting: "I'm back!"

Looking at everything around him, he felt very kind.This is the place where he grew up, the big rock for them to practice martial arts and rest, the two bamboo poles for drying clothes, the durable washing stone, the stream that supplies their daily water source, and the surrounding area. Everything is so familiar.The few battles he had just experienced made him cherish life and everything around him even more.At this moment, everything here is a treasure to him. Although he has only been away from home for half a year, it is like three autumns to him.

"Master, brother, please sit down." Alan said while dividing the chopsticks.

The master sat down, saw that Zhiming was still there, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhiming came back to his senses and said, "It's nothing, just miss the past."

Alan served him a meal and said, "Brother, eat it while it's hot. It's rare to come back, so eat more."

"Okay." Zhiming picked up the bowl and chopsticks.They dined outdoors with the afterglow of the setting sun, which had a special atmosphere.

Master said: "Pick up your chopsticks."

Zhiming began to gobble it up. He felt that the food made by Alan was better than the chef of the Xinye County Government.Master and Alan kept picking up food for him, and he "won't refuse anyone who came" and ate with great joy.

"Eat more, fighting is very hard." Alan said with concern.

Zhiming never stopped talking, nodding while eating.Master and Alan were happier watching him eat than eating by themselves.

While eating, Alan suddenly asked: "By the way, brother, you haven't told me how you got back? Why are you not wearing any clothes?"

Zhiming was almost choked by the fishbone. He thought she wouldn't bring it up again, but he didn't expect her to mention it again when he was eating the most.

"Oh...it's like this," Zhiming said with a mouth full of oil, "When I was fighting, all my clothes were burned, so I had no choice but to run back naked."

"Didn't you say you were looking for an opportunity to sneak back? Why did you go to war? Where did you go to fight? How did you get into such a mess? Besides, even if your clothes are burned, you can find one and put it on again." Come back." Alan asked to the end, his tone was not like that of a younger sister, but more like an elder's questioning.

"This..." Zhiming was speechless.

"Okay, okay," Master came forward to make a rescue, "Let's wait for your brother to finish his meal first, he is already very tired from fighting, as long as he is free, he can change his clothes if he runs out."

Zhiming looked at Master gratefully. He was most afraid of being questioned by others, especially when he was asked to invent.

After the meal, Alan also gave him a way out, so he stopped asking about the matter, found a new set of clothes for him from the closet, and said, "Put on these."

Zhiming put on new clothes.Master came in and said, "Zhiming, let's sit down and talk."

"Okay, Master." Zhiming gave Master a chair to sit on.

The master sat down and asked, "Can you briefly tell me about your experience after you left the mountain? I want to know more about it."

"Okay." Zhiming began to talk about his experience, from meeting Liu Bei, to when they went to Xiangyang for a banquet, and then Liu Bei escaped from the banquet, to how he and Zhao Yun found Liu Bei in Nanzhang, how they met Sima Hui, and then in Xinye How to meet Xu Shu and take him to meet Liu Bei, how to defeat Cao Ren, etc.Later, he talked about Xu Shu's decision to give up his career in order to save his mother, and went to Beijing with them...Suddenly, he stopped.

"What's wrong?" Master saw that something was wrong.

"Oh, it's hard to say." Zhiming thought of Xu Shu's death again.

The master wanted to continue listening, but seeing that he seemed to have something to say, he said: "Well, I already have a general understanding of your situation. It seems that you have experienced a lot of things over there; also, I didn't expect you to see me again." Uncle Shi. I heard from my master before that the adventure stories between him and Uncle Shi when they were young were quite interesting, but it’s a pity that I couldn’t record them with a pen. Now, I don’t have a chance to record them, alas.”

"Senior Sima is indeed an incredible person. The first time he saw me, he saw that my identity was abnormal, but it was inconvenient to say it in public. I always vaguely felt that there was an indescribable relationship between him and my mission. ...I'm sorry, Master, I couldn't finish the story." Zhiming thanked Master for his understanding. He still can't face Xu Shu's death, and every time he thinks about it, his heart hurts.

"It's fine... Zhiming, when do you plan to leave?" Master asked suddenly.

Zhiming was stunned for a moment, he had never thought about this question.In fact, Liu Bei didn't even know that he was back, and he didn't have to rush back to report to work.

"It's better to leave tomorrow and go back to report as soon as possible." The master didn't want him to rest for too long, fearing that he might miss the business.

"But... I just came back today, can't I leave in two days?" Zhiming asked weakly.

"It's not impossible, but I hope you can understand that you are now a soldier, and you should be very clear about the duties of a soldier." Master said it more implicitly, but the meaning is very clear.

"...I understand, Master, I'll go back tomorrow morning." Zhiming understood, he knew that the master was afraid that he would become lethargic if he stayed at home for a long time, and the teacher's order was hard to break, so he could only obey.

"Zhiming, put the state affairs first and don't worry about home too much, you know? Being distracted on the battlefield can easily lead to defeat." In fact, the master didn't want him to leave so quickly, but as an elder, he had to be strict with him, and he couldn't Let him put the cart before the horse and ignore the business.

Master said that Zhiming is the most clear about his one-of-a-kind character. He has always respected Master very much, and as long as it is a request from Master, he will definitely obey it.

"Sleep well tonight, and I'll take you down the mountain tomorrow morning." Master patted him on the shoulder.

"Well, Master also rest early."

That night, Zhiming lay on the bed, unable to close his eyes for a long time.He regained the feeling he had before leaving home, hoping that the night would be extended so that he could stay at home longer; he even thought that it would be great if he was not a god-human.

At this time, the voice of the old fairy appeared: "Zhiming, don't forget your great mission. You are different from ordinary people. You must fight for the realization of world peace! Your master thinks the same way."

"I understand, old fairy." Zhiming closed his eyes in a state of dismay, forcing himself to sleep, but Zhou Gong (Oneiroi) didn't want to patronize his brain tonight.He took a deep breath and didn't think about anything else.

…………

Zhiming had a dream that night. He dreamed that he was still wandering around Xuchang City, and suddenly met Master Daoren and Shiqing, and asked in surprise, "Why are you still here? Didn't I tell you to leave the capital as soon as possible?"

Master Daoren sighed, and said, "Hero Lei, it's not that we don't want to leave, but that we can't. General Baimei has ordered the entire city to be sealed off, saying that no one is allowed to leave the capital until the epidemic is over!"

"Epidemic? What epidemic? I've never heard of an epidemic in Beijing?" Zhiming didn't understand.

"Oh, don't mention it, it's all our fault, the epidemic caused by the so-called 'elixir', we don't know what to do now!" Master Daoren spread his hands helplessly.

"How could the elixir cause an epidemic? Hong Gui told me that people who took the elixir would become crazy, but he never said it was contagious!" Zhiming still didn't believe it.

"Heroes don't know. It turns out that the last batch of goods that Shiqing went to General Baimei to get was an enhanced version of the 'Poison Elixir'! What's more unfortunate is that the poison elixir had been crushed before it was crushed by the hero. The members of the Snake Gang stole a few pills, they have already taken them, and they have entered the capital to spread the virus, causing several people to be poisoned. After General Baimei learned about this, he immediately ordered the closure of the city and quarantined all poisoned people." Helpless; Shiqing also bowed his head and was speechless.

"This...how is this possible? I've obviously settled everything..." The news came as a bolt from the blue to Zhiming, "Could it be... Hong Gui concealed some of the truth from me?"

"Hero, please save us! Zhiming... Zhiming..." The two knelt down, grabbed Zhiming's sleeve, and started calling him by his first name.
