Chapter 170: More than three and three, ninety-nine parties rest
"Qingfengxian?"
Hearing this name, Chen Cuo narrowed his eyes.
Zu Zhengzhao, who was sitting cross-legged across from him, nodded and said: "My benefactor asked us if we had ever met the Taoist. After thinking about it, I felt that someone like my benefactor would definitely not be an ordinary person.
There is that Qingfeng Immortal who is worthy of being in the eyes of my benefactor."
When he mentioned this name, he subconsciously showed awe.
At this time, there was a wave coming outside, and the boat a few people were riding on began to shake. Leaving the forest, Chen Cuo led the three people on the boat in order to make it easier for the little pig to sense the treasure.
"What does Qingfeng Immortal look like?"
Although he felt that the person described by the other party was not the Fourth Senior Brother, Chen Cuo still had to confirm it first. In addition, he was a little curious about the Qingfeng Immortal.
"It was only by chance that we met this true cultivator. At that time, my nephew was in trouble. Alas, let's not talk about it. Let's go back to Qingfengxian. He has a great reputation in Jiangbei. He once defeated five people with one sword.
The famous Jiangyang thieves, I heard that the five people are very human, all of them are over a hundred years old, and have had a fairy fate. It is difficult for ordinary people to even get close..."
Zu Zhengzhao introduced it, with suppressed excitement in his words, showing great admiration and even adoration for the Qingfeng Immortal.
But after Chen Cuo listened to a few words, he realized that most of what the ancestor knew was just hearsay, and he kept talking without breaking away from the skills of Jianghu.
Chen Cuo's first goal was to find Nan Mingzi, not to mention that the white jade was not pointing to Zu Zhengzhao, but to the bushy-browed young man Liu Nan, so he took a break and waved to Liu Nan.
"My benefactor called me?" Liu Nan moved over with a wary look on his face.
Zu Zhengzhao shook his head silently and reminded him: "My benefactor is an outsider. He saved us ordinary people. If there is anything we can do to help, we should do our best!"
Liu Nan scratched his head and nodded in agreement.
Chen mistakenly realized that this young man was quite dull. If he questioned him carefully, it would be difficult to get an accurate result. He simply condensed a thought and sketched out the appearance of Nan Mingzi, which passed into Liu Nan's mind.
Liu Nan was startled at first, but thought of Chen Cuo's methods and calmed down again.
Chen Cuo then asked: "Have you ever seen this person?"
"It seems like I have seen him before, but..." Liu Nan looked confused, "It seems like I have never seen him before." After saying that, he felt that he had said nonsense and was very embarrassed.
Chen Cuo laughed dumbly, and then said: "In this case, I have no choice but to investigate it myself."
When Liu Nan heard this, he was about to ask how to investigate, but before he could say anything, he felt exhausted and tired. He was blown by the river wind, and his body swayed, raised his head and fell down. Within a moment, he snored like thunder.
.
Facing this scene, Zu Zhengzhao and Qian Yuan were only slightly surprised, then they understood and looked at Chen Cuo. Then they saw this enigmatic benefactor, with a faint glint in his eyes.
The two of them could not help but become more and more awed.
After a while, Chen Cuo took back his thoughts and frowned.
"Senior Brother Nan Mingzi actually taught him martial arts skills in a dream half a month ago? What does this mean? Do you want to accept him as his successor?"
In doubt, he looked at Liu Nan again, his eyes burning brightly.
Liu Nan actually has average qualifications and a pure mind. However, he must have been severely injured on the head, so he is a bit dull. He is not an ideal seed for cultivating immortals. But if he learns martial arts, he should have great achievements.
"But the fourth senior brother has lost contact with the sect. Why did he teach this person the skills in a dream? If he has this skill, it is better to ask his fellow sect for help. Moreover, this happened half a month ago, and there has been no movement since then. He was confused in the dream.
, so that Liu Nan almost forgot."

With this in mind, he took out the white jade again.
But Bai Yu no longer responded.
The clue seems to be broken.
After putting away the white jade again, Chen Cuo thought it was time to think about whether his thinking was biased.
Suddenly, he recalled a sentence mentioned by Gao Zhengxin and asked Zu Zhengzhao: "What is the connection between Liu Nan and Zhou State?"
He remembered that Gao Zhengxin once said that Liu Nan was attached to the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Zu Zhengzhao guessed Chen Cuo's thoughts and explained: "My nephew has a rough life experience. He was born in the Southern Dynasty, but he lived in the Zhou Kingdom when he was young. By chance, he was taken in by the Duke of Tang Dynasty and was reused, but he was not attached to him."
"Tang Guogong?"
Chen Cuo's eyelids twitched.
A thread in my heart was faintly connected.
No matter how little he knew about history, he still knew that after the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the short-lived Sui Dynasty was the unification era of the Tang Dynasty!
And the ancestors of the Li Tang Dynasty seem to be the lineage of Tang Guogong in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
"Not only that, the fourth senior brother's secular name is Li Yu, and he is also from the Duke of Tang Dynasty! Is it because of this that he passed on Liu Nan's merits? Or maybe he was restricted and could only follow the connections to find Liu Nan, hoping to use this What message was left behind?”
Chen Cuo was thinking about it, but Qian Yuan said: "My brother Liu is not without any background. He also has heroes in his ancestors. He was a famous official in the Jin Dynasty, and Liu Bingzhou saved the isolated city with a song of Hujia!"
"A barbarian song saved an isolated city?" Chen Cuo had limited historical knowledge and was not familiar with this allusion, but he could tell that Liu Nan's ancestor also had some origins.
"From this point of view, Liu Nan himself may be worth exploring."
After thinking about this, Chen Cuo simply said: "Where have you been going in the past few days?"
Zu Zhengzhao and others were stunned for a moment, and then they understood.
Qian Yuan was about to speak but stopped.
Zu Zhengzhao hesitated for a moment and said tentatively: "My benefactor saved us from the fire, and we are grateful. It's just that the traitor of the Mo family cherishes feathers and doesn't want rumors to leak out, so he pursues a certain family. If If I stay with my benefactor, I might be involved."
"If someone is following you, just avoid it in advance. If you really can't avoid it, I won't be afraid."
Regardless of his origins or the purpose of going down the mountain, Chen Cuo did not want to be involved with the Qi clan, but since there were clues about Nan Mingzi's incident, he had to find out clearly, and he could not be hesitant at this time.
Besides, he didn't intend to lie and conceal it, so he simply said: "I won't hide it from you, I am here to find someone, and I seem to be involved with Liu Nan. In exchange, I will protect his safety, and you will go to Zhouzhou afterward." If you don't want to, I won't force him, I just want to leave something of his." He pointed at Liu Nan.
Immediately, Chen Cuo saw that Qian Yuan showed such an expression, and his heart moved, so he asked: "Does Miss Qian know something?"
Qian Yuan first said: "The little girl actually doesn't know the person that my benefactor is looking for. She deliberately spoke in the past to get out of trouble with the help of her benefactor."
Chen Cuo nodded, he had already seen this.
But then I heard the woman say: "But it is possible that my brother Liu is involved with the person my benefactor is looking for, because my brother's fortune is weird. A fortune teller in Sichuan once said that he has many fortunes. Difficulties will last for three or three times, and there will be no rest for nine or nine times, but if you survive the disaster, you should be able to achieve good fortune. Therefore, Brother Liu has suffered a lot since childhood and attracted many strange things. He thought that the person his benefactor was looking for was also one of his destiny. Disaster!"
"There is such a thing as that!"
Chen Cuo was really interested. He had never practiced fortune-telling before. When he checked with his eyes just now, he could only see Liu Nan's qualifications but not his destiny. But after hearing Qian Yuan's words "Three, three, nine, nine", he couldn't help but think of it.
The famous "Nine-Nine-Eighty-One Difficulties".
Especially Liu Nan, who happens to have the word "difficulty" in his name!
Just when he was about to ask a question, he suddenly felt something in his heart. He looked up at the night sky and saw a bright moon hanging in the sky, and a speck of green falling down, which he caught.
"Whose sect is this? He wants to hit the first rank, and he actually made a ceremony to let my thoughts bless him! However, it is a rare opportunity to gain enlightenment. Anyway, there is nothing wrong with the boat ride..."
At this thought, Chen Cuo shook his head and laughed, and said to the people in front of him: "Sit down, I have something to do. I need to meditate for a while." After saying this, he took out a gourd from his arms, set the forbidden spell, and then lowered his head.
Zu Zhengzhao and Qian Yuan looked at each other, not daring to ask any more questions.
However, Liu Nan turned over and fell asleep soundly.
Suddenly, the boatman outside said: "So that we can objectively know that when we are about to enter the bend of the river, there will be many undercurrents and rapids, and it will be bumpy."
"knew."
Outside the ship, in the deep water, there was a black shadow slowly rising, with golden light flashing through it from time to time...
