Chapter 308 Don’t use Qianlong
Suning took out the chocolate again. After the two of them ate it as breakfast, they felt that their mood had calmed down a lot. Perhaps sugar can easily soothe the anxiety in people's hearts.

After changing into dirty and old ancient costumes, Suning pulled the nervous Liu Yifei and slowly mixed into the refugee group. Together with the refugees, they walked towards Chuzhou City. The endless refugee group seemed to have no end, which made Suning and Liu Yifei always feel depressed. However, the refugees did not notice the sudden appearance of Su Ning and Liu Yifei at all.

Liu Yifei was wearing a baseball cap and wrapped in tattered clothes. The hungry refugees could not detect her true identity. Despite this, Su Ning still held the pistol tightly in his arms, ready to shoot the rioting refugees around him at any time.

Suning soon discovered that he was always being stared at by the refugees around him, with curious expressions and eyes always paying attention to his hair. Only then did he realize that his short hair was so strange.

Although the refugees around were very curious about Su Ning's hairstyle, they still did not come forward to bother him. Su Ning felt that the refugees seemed to respect him very much, which made Su Ning a little confused for a moment.

The refugees continued to march until noon, and even when the sun was shining brightly, no one stopped to rest. This was a bit too much for the pampered Liu Yifei.

"Suning, I can't take it anymore!
Let's stop and take a break!" Liu Yifei looked at Suning and whispered weakly.

Suning knew that the chocolate they had eaten in the morning had long been digested, and it was very difficult for Liu Yifei to hold on until now, so he agreed to Liu Yifei's request.

"Alright!"

Then Suning wanted to take Liu Yifei to the side to rest, but suddenly a middle-aged man ran over from behind. When he saw Suning and Liu Yifei, he showed a look of surprise, especially when the middle-aged man saw Suning's short hair, he suddenly felt excited.

"Young Master, wait a moment!"

"I'm not a junior master, you got the wrong person!" Suning immediately looked at the newcomer with a nervous expression, holding the pistol tightly in his arms, ready to shoot him in the head if he noticed any unusual movement from the other party.

The visitor could see the defensive looks on Su Ning and Liu Yifei's faces at a glance, and quickly explained, "Young Master, don't be nervous!

My father is old and cannot bear the long-term bumpy ride, so he is about to pass away.

Therefore, I would like to ask the young master to chant sutras for my father to be liberated."

"What?" After hearing the explanation from the visitor, Suning and Liu Yifei looked at each other in surprise, and Suning touched his short hair helplessly.

"Brother, I think you have misunderstood!

I'm not a monk.

As for my hair, it's a long story, so I don't need to explain it to you here."

"Eh? Young Master, are you worried about the reward?

Although my family has fallen on hard times, I still have some decent property left, which will surely satisfy you, Master."

Hearing the visitor's repeated pestering, Suning remembered the ancient saying that the hair on the body is inherited from parents. If he was not a monk in the temple, it would be impossible for him to shave his hair into the short hair of modern people.

Suning knew that no matter how he explained, he could not explain the hair problem, so he could only smile bitterly and wanted to take Liu Yifei away forcibly, but at this time the visitor once again put forward a condition that Suning could not refuse.

"Young Master, you also want to seek refuge in Chuzhou City, right?

I also have relatives in the Chuzhou government, and as a token of my gratitude, I can bring you, young master, into Chuzhou City."

Suning was really moved, and then he looked at Liu Yifei who had also reacted, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

In this unfamiliar world, only the city is a relatively safe place. The next problem they need to face is how to enter Chuzhou City. After all, Suning and Liu Yifei do not have ancient identification.

"Is what this brother said true?"

"Young Master, don't worry!

I, Chen Boda, am by no means a treacherous person and I have some reputation in Dingyuan."

"Oh? Brother Chen is from Dingyuan?"

"That's right! The young master has a past relationship with Dingyuan?" Chen Boda became excited at this time. He had already heard the relaxation in Su Ning's words.

"Brother Chen, do you know Li Shanchang of Dingyuan?"

"Li Shanchang?

Yes! Of course I know him!
He is a great talent in our Dingyuan County!"

"Brother Chen, I can promise you that I will pray for your father's soul to be reborn.

I hope you can keep your promise and take my wife and I into Chuzhou City." Suning mentioned Li Shanchang only to try to prove that the visitor was not a liar.

"Sure! No problem!" Seeing that Suning agreed, the filial Chen Boda was surprised.

Looking at Chen Boda's face full of surprise, Suning actually understood it very well. Since ancient times, Chinese people have attached great importance to filial piety, and the ancient people had the strongest emphasis on it.

"Young Master, please follow Chen!"

Looking at Chen Boda who was leading the way, Liu Yifei suddenly felt a little guilty. After all, she was worried that Su Ning would be exposed. Then she leaned down and asked in Su Ning's ear, "Suning, what should we do if we are exposed?"
Are we really going to kill everyone?"

"Haha, it won't be exposed!
I have studied Buddhist scriptures before, so chanting for salvation is not a big problem."

"Ah? Really fake?"

"Haha, of course it's true!
Your man is much more powerful than you think!"

Su Ning did not lie. He had come into contact with Buddhist scriptures in the world of "The Story of Minglan". After all, under the influence of the old lady of the Sheng family who practiced vegetarianism and chanting Buddhist scriptures, Su Ning had some understanding of Buddhist scriptures.

Su Ning and his companion followed Chen Boda to the location, and indeed saw a skinny old man lying on one of the two carriages. Looking at his relatively gorgeous clothes and the servants surrounding the carriage, Su Ning knew that Chen Boda had not deceived him.

But what surprised Suning was that there was already a young monk here. Then Suning looked at Chen Boda with some confusion. The meaning was self-evident, as if to say, "Are you lying to me?"

Feeling Su Ning's unfriendly gaze, Chen Boda easily understood what he meant and quickly explained with a wry smile, "Young Master, this is the young novice monk from Huangjue Temple in Haozhou. Like you, he was invited by me to pray for my father's soul.

It’s just that he’s not a true monk, so he doesn’t know much about Buddhist scriptures.”

"Oh? Huangjue Temple?" Su Ning looked at Liu Yifei in shock. Every Chinese person knows that there is a great deity in Fengyang Huangjue Temple.

"Master, my name is Zhu Chongba, and I am a novice monk from Huangjue Temple in Haozhou.

Today, I traveled down the mountain and encountered the family of Donor Chen near Chuzhou City. Since I am not a true monk, I cannot help Donor Chen.

"Zhu Yuanzhang?" Suning and Liu Yifei both widened their eyes in shock, and Liu Yifei excitedly held Suning's hand tightly.

Seeing the shocked expressions of Su Ning and the others, the young monk Zhu Chongba was also surprised, "Master, do you know me?"

"I don't know him! He just has the same name as a good brother of mine!"

"Oh? Then the master chef and I are really destined to meet!" The rookie Zhu Yuanzhang was not a fool, so he did not believe Su Ning's explanation.

"Hehe, don't call me Master Chef.

Our situations are similar. I am not a monk, but I have a relatively good understanding of Buddhist scriptures.

I hope I can help Brother Chen and fulfill his filial piety." Chen Boda felt a sense of relief when he heard Su Ning's words. He no longer cared whether Su Ning was a monk or not. Instead, he bowed in gratitude and said, "Sir, thank you for your help!"

Suning went straight to the carriage, looked at the old man who was on his deathbed in the carriage, and then began to recite the "Seven Buddhas' Mantra to Eliminate Sins".

Listening to the Buddhist scriptures whispered by Suning, the nervous Liu Yifei also breathed a sigh of relief, and now she was looking at the omnipotent Suning with admiration.

At this time, Chen Boda was also surprised. He had originally tried to save his father as a last resort, but he did not expect that his father would pass away so carefree.

Then Chen Boda also noticed Zhu Yuanzhang's shocked expression, and looked at him curiously, "Little Master, what do you think of the scriptures that Master recited?"

"Donor Chen, although I'm not very well versed in Buddhist scriptures, I still know that what you are reciting is the 'Seven Buddhas' Mantra for the Elimination of Sins,' which is most suitable for an elderly person like your father who is on his deathbed."

"Oh?"

When Su Ning finished reciting the "Seven Buddhas' Mantra to Eliminate Sins", Chen Boda's father miraculously closed his eyes and left the world with a smile on his face.

Seeing his father pass away, Chen Boda sadly fell on his father's body and cried bitterly. At this time, Chen's family members and servants also cried with Chen Boda.

Looking at the somewhat touched Liu Yifei, Su Ning knew that she was thinking of her parents, and then he held her hand tightly and said softly, "Xixi, you still have me!"

"Yes! Suning, I will be strong!"

Suning has always been a conscientious person. Since he decided to be a fake monk, he must be true to his conscience. After comforting the sad Liu Yifei, Suning recited the "Lotus Sutra" again.

Although Chen Boda did not understand Buddhist scriptures, he could still feel the power of faith from the sound of Su Ning chanting, and the young monk Zhu Chongba was looking at Su Ning with reverence.

After the incident was over, everyone walked together and rushed to the nearby Chuzhou City. Suning knew that Liu Yifei was weak, so he asked Liu Yifei to sit in the carriage of the Chen family.

At this moment, Zhu Chongba was like a little fanboy of Su Ning, chattering non-stop with Su Ning, "Master, was the last thing you recited the Lotus Sutra?"

"Yes! Brother Zhu, it seems that your stay in Huangjue Temple was not in vain."

"Haha, I just make a living in Huangjue Temple, and I don't know much about Buddhist scriptures!" Hearing Su Ning's praise for him, Zhu Yuanzhang touched his head embarrassedly.

Chen Boda, who had finally recovered from his grief, joined the conversation. "Sir, what are your plans for entering Chuzhou this time?"

"Brother Chen, my name is Suning, and I'm from Jiaozhou.

This time I came to Chuzhou City with my wife to settle down in Chuzhou."

"Oh? Mr. Su, since you want to settle down in Chuzhou, what kind of business do you have?"

"Huh? Probably doing some small business!"

"Well! If Mr. Su needs Chen's help in the future, please go to the Chen family in Chuzhou to find Chen.

Chen Yiyi is definitely not allowed to refuse!"

"Haha, I'll definitely bother Brother Chen then."

Soon the group arrived at Chuzhou City. Seeing the soldiers guarding the city driving away the refugees, Suning and others followed Chen Boda's family into Chuzhou City unimpeded. Looking at the fearful expressions of the soldiers, Suning realized that Chen Boda was definitely not an ordinary person.

Because Chen Boda was in a hurry to arrange his father's funeral, everyone separated as soon as they entered Chuzhou City. What surprised Su Ning was that Zhu Yuanzhang chose to follow him.

"Brother Zhu, why don't you follow Brother Chen?"

"Sir, I feel that Benefactor Chen and I are not of the same mind. I think it would be more appropriate for me to follow you, sir."

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's explanation, Suning and Liu Yifei looked at each other in surprise. Although Liu Yifei has always been regarded as a vase, in fact, her experience and knowledge are not bad. After all, she is also a serious college student.

After the initial panic, Liu Yifei quickly adapted to the unfamiliar environment. With Suning's constant companionship and protection, she quickly learned how to communicate with the ancients.

"Well! If Brother Zhu doesn't mind, then please follow us for a while!"

"Thank you sir for your help!"

Su Ning knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to live in Huangjue Temple because he could not survive. Later, he was rejected by Huangjue Temple and was forced to travel around the world.

Now that Suning is willing to temporarily take in Zhu Yuanzhang, he is actually really surprised. Although Zhu Yuanzhang has no knowledge now, it does not prevent him from being willing to follow the knowledgeable Suning.

Suning first asked the locals about nearby clothing stores and bought a few sets of clothes for himself and Liu Yifei, and then he felt much more comfortable.

In fact, Suning also wanted to buy some clothes for Zhu Yuanzhang, but was rejected by Zhu Yuanzhang. Knowing that Zhu Yuanzhang would be a strong man in the future, Suning did not insist.

Next, Suning and the other two found an inn in Chuzhou City to stay in, and then began to plan their next move. After all, the two of them needed to integrate into this world as soon as possible.

After Liu Yifei and Suning took a good shower and changed into clean clothes, they felt much more comfortable.

Liu Yifei hugged Suning tightly, feeling that she could no longer live without him, "Suning, I'm glad I have you now.

Otherwise I really don’t know what to do!”

"Well! It's all over.

Next, we will try to settle down in Chuzhou City, then slowly develop our own business and build our own power as soon as possible. Only in this way can we protect ourselves in this chaotic world."

"Yes! I'll listen to you!
But what about Zhu Yuanzhang?"

"Hey! Let's take it one step at a time!

Zhu Yuanzhang is not a good boss, otherwise I wouldn't mind accompanying him to conquer the world."

"Yeah! It seems like this guy killed a lot of heroes in the later period of history!"

"Well! When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked!

There is no way around this.

However, these things are still too far away from us.

What we need most now is to be able to protect ourselves as soon as possible."

"Yeah! Suning, you're right!"

The next day, Suning took Liu Yifei and his little follower Zhu Yuanzhang to look for a suitable house in Chuzhou City to use as their future residence.

But just as the three of them walked out of the inn, they saw Chen Boda's servants running over. When they saw Su Ning and the other two, they showed a happy expression, "Mr. Su, I am a servant of the Chen family, my name is Wu San.

My master asked me to accompany you, Mr. Su, for the next few days to help you solve some problems."

"Oh! Thank you, master!" Suning and Liu Yifei looked at each other in surprise. After all, with the help of the local tyrant Chen family, they could save themselves a lot of trouble.
