The next day, Guo Mo and Huang Rong asked about the locations of several temples in Taoyuan County and decided to visit them one by one.
In fact, Guo Mo is not sure whether "Southern Emperor" has orders in a certain temple.
However, I really can't find in my memory where "Nan Di" lived in seclusion after becoming a monk. In order not to arouse unnecessary "suspiciousness" from Huang Rong, he didn't even dare to reveal the title of Master "Yideng".
Fortunately, I know that "Nan Di" is with the four "fishermen, woodcutter, farmers and readers", which is also a very obvious characteristic.
"Brother Mo, there are a total of five temples near Taoyuan County. We have already visited three of them, but found nothing."
"In my opinion, the 'Southern Emperor' lives in seclusion, not necessarily in a temple, but maybe in the mountains. Our search will be in vain."
Of course Guo Mo knew that there was little hope. In another dimension, Huang Rong was injured by an iron palm and met Ying Gu, who introduced him to the "South Emperor" who had become a monk.
But now the situation has completely changed. Huang Rong was not injured by Qiu Qianren. If he really encounters Qiu Qianren, the other party may not be his opponent.
And this Yinggu seems to live in a place called "Black Dragon Pond". The question is, if I directly ask for "Black Dragon Pond", wouldn't it be too abrupt?
Most of the temples are in the suburbs. They visited three of them today and found no results. The two of them had no intention of returning to the city and wanted to get to the fourth temple before dark.
If I really can't find anyone, I can stay overnight and go directly to the last temple tomorrow.
As soon as they turned their horses, they saw a woman standing in the middle of the avenue, still a little far away. They only saw her gray hair, she must be a little older.
Guo Mo and Huang Rong didn't pay attention. They urged them to get off their horses and wanted to go around.
"stop--"
The woman suddenly shouted, stretched out her right hand, and blocked the way.
"Uu——"
The two reined in the reins and the horse stopped.
Guo Mo looked the person up and down, and when he got closer, he realized that although the person had gray hair and a face, he was not very old, probably less than forty?
Guo Mo must have never seen him before. Why did he come to stop him like this?
The two of them jumped off their horses, walked closer, and clasped their fists together.
"Why is this man across the way blocking our way?"
Guo Mo didn't know what to call the person for a moment, but he was somewhat interested in her purpose of blocking the road.
"I see you have been running around all day. Are you looking for someone?"
The woman did not reply to Guo Mo's question, but asked again.
Guo Mo's heart moved. It seemed that the whereabouts of the two of them had fallen into the eyes of someone who was interested.
What surprised him was that the person who came was not a member of the "Fishing, Woodworking, Farming and Reading" program. In fact, he was inquiring around in various temples in such a big way to "alert the enemy".
Since I can't find "Southern Emperor", maybe I can lure the people around "Southern Emperor" out with a bluff?
Looking at the person in front of me, at this age and appearance, she appears here appropriately. She is still a woman. Could she be the one?
Guo Mo had a guess in his mind and was worried that he couldn't find a clue. If it was really that person, wouldn't it be solved easily?
"To be fair to this senior, the two of us are indeed looking for someone, but we seem to be at a loss. We have been searching for a whole day and still have no clue. I wonder if senior has any advice?"
Since he is "begging for help", Guo Mo must look like he is "begging for help".
"You are looking for four people who look like fishermen, woodcutter, farmers and readers, plus an old monk, right?"
Hearing the woman opposite say this, Guo Mo was completely sure of her identity. She was "Gu Ying".
Her real name is Liu Ying, and she is a noble concubine of Dali Kingdom. She has a beautiful appearance and is nicknamed "The Divine Fortune Teller".
He once had an affair with the "old naughty boy" Zhou Botong and gave birth to a son.
Later, while competing for ranking in the "Huashan Swordsmanship", the infant child was sneak-attacked by Qiu Qianren, the "Iron Palm Floating on Water", and was seriously injured.
The reason is to ask "Southern Emperor" to come to the rescue, so that the "Southern Emperor"'s power will be depleted. If he is treated with "One Yang Finger", he will not be able to return to the original state within five years, and he will naturally lose the qualification for "Huashan Sword Discussing"
.
When Yinggu held her seriously injured child and knelt down to beg in front of the "Southern Emperor", the "Southern Emperor" did not come to the rescue.
First, the "Southern Emperor" really valued the opportunity of "Huashan Sword Discussing". More importantly, no matter how magnanimous the "Southern Emperor" was, he would always have grudges against the child his concubine had with another man.
.
Due to this delay, the infant baby eventually died.
As a result, Yinggu's hair turned gray overnight. She couldn't find the murderer who attacked the child, so she poured all her hatred into the "South Emperor".
The child's biological father, "Old Naughty Boy" Zhou Botong, was later trapped on "Peach Blossom Island".
Yinggu wanted to save him wholeheartedly, but she was afraid of "Dongxie"'s martial arts and the rumored strange formations everywhere on "Peach Blossom Island".
Therefore, over the years, Yinggu lived in seclusion in the "Black Dragon Pond", studying the five elements and strange arts, and earned the title of a "divine fortune teller". She also tried every means to make herself stronger.
Yesterday, at the inn in Taoyuan County, I overheard Huang Rong saying that there was a "snake gallbladder" that could increase internal strength. How could she not feel lust?
This was the reason why Gu Ying followed Guo Mo and the two throughout the whole day, and also witnessed with her own eyes the process of the two asking various temples.
Only then did they realize that the person they were looking for turned out to be the person they hated the most.
So, he hatched a plan and planned to kill two birds with one stone, so he showed up and stopped the two of them.
When Huang Rong saw the person in front of her, she seemed to know where the person she was looking for was, so she stepped forward and bowed.
"Senior, do you know where these people are? If you know, please let me know. We would be very grateful."
The woman did not reply immediately. She glanced at Guo Mo and then looked at Huang Rong.
"You are looking for these people. I know them all and know where they are. But I want to know, what are you looking for these people for?"
Just as Huang Rong was about to speak, Guo Mo hurriedly spoke first.
"To be honest, senior, someone in the junior's family was seriously injured. After someone's advice, I found out that there is an expert here who can save me, so I came here to ask for him."
Guo Mo was afraid that Huang Rong would cause unnecessary trouble by saying the words "Peach Blossom Island".
In fact, Yinggu is still a little suspicious. After all, those who can know the level of "Southern Emperor" are not ordinary people.
But she had already been blinded by hatred, so she didn't go into it further.
"You two do have some knowledge. The old monk you are looking for was originally the leader of Dali Kingdom. After he became a monk, his Buddhist name was 'Yi Deng', and his 'Yi Yang Zhi' skills are unparalleled in the world."
"As long as the person is not dead, if you ask him to save you, you will be successful. But we met by chance, why should I help you?"
Does this require conditions?
"Then I don't know, how can senior tell the truth?"
When Guo Mo heard that the other party would ask for such an obvious request, he really couldn't get used to it for a while.
"I heard that you have 'snake gallbladder' in your body that can increase your power? If you are willing to part with me, I will tell you how to find 'Yideng'."
Guo Mo was stunned when he heard this. It turned out that this person was also at the inn last night, and he didn't notice it.
"Haha, senior's calculation is quite good. We do have 'snake gallbladder', but it also has other uses. I cannot give it to you."
Of course Guo Mo couldn't agree to her rude request. Without her guidance, he would just have to find more time. He didn't believe that these people could not be found in the borders of Taoyuan County?
"Since senior is unwilling to help, we can't force it. We would like to thank senior for informing us that it turns out that 'Nan Di' has become a master of 'Yideng' after becoming a monk."
The woman did not expect that the other party refused so simply. She did not ask for the "snake gall" and accidentally informed the old monk of the information.
For a moment, I became angry and wanted to take action. Suddenly I remembered that after hearing their conversation last night, the little girl next to me was almost at the first-class level. Then the young man in front of me was even more of a master.
Years of forbearance have allowed the woman to develop the habit of being cautious and careful. She will never act lightly if she is not 100% sure.
To put it bluntly, she is afraid of death. She still wants to keep this useful body to avenge her children and go to "Peach Blossom Island" to rescue the "old naughty boy" Zhou Botong.
The woman calmed down her emotions.
"Forget it, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll tell you for free."
Although her attempt to obtain "snake gallbladder" failed, the woman did not want to give up. She also thought that if she could help these two people, she would ask "Yi Deng" to take action. Then within five years, "Yi Deng"'s internal strength would be greatly damaged, and it would be herself.
Time for revenge.
So, he told Guo Mo in detail the location of "Yideng" and the problems he might encounter on the way.
He also took out a handkerchief from his arms, opened it, and found a painting on it.
There is a scale on the painting. On one side of the scale is a small bird, on the other side is a man covered in blood. There is a big bird in the back of the painting.
"You take this painting with you. If 'Yi Deng' doesn't want to help, you can give this painting to him."
After saying that, he floated away.
"Brother Mo, why is this person so weird? She talks and acts inexplicably. I think she might be the enemy of the Southern Emperor."
Guo Mo was surprised by this little girl's amazing judgment, but it was inconvenient to point out. If there was a chance, he would eventually encounter her in the future.
"Rong'er, this is indeed a weird person, but as long as he can help us find the 'Southern Emperor', oh, now we should call him Master 'Yideng', there is no need to consider other things for the time being."
According to what the woman said, Master Yideng's hermitage was exactly the opposite of its current location.
The two of them had no choice but to go back to the Taoyuan County Inn and rest for the night.
Early the next morning, after settling the rent, the two of them left Taoyuan County and headed southeast as the woman said.
It turns out that Master Yideng’s seclusion is not in a temple, but in the mountains.
Guo Mo knew clearly that in the original work, the four people were in trouble by "fishing, woodcutter, farming and reading" in order to see "Yi Deng".
The problem lies in two points. First, the report was to find "Emperor Duan", not Master "Yideng"; second, Huang Rong was seriously injured at that time, and she came to seek medical treatment. Of course the four disciples did not want the master to waste his internal energy.
.
The two rode on horseback, and after walking for more than fifty miles, they encountered a large mountain in front of them.
The mountain road was so rugged that it was impossible to ride a horse.
The two had no choice but to tie their horses in the jungle at the foot of the mountain, carry their luggage, and hike up the mountain.
After climbing over two hills, I heard the sound of water flowing in front of me, and it was very fast.
As I got closer, I discovered that there was a waterfall here, flowing down a steep cliff and splashing to the bottom of the valley.
Beside the waterfall, there was a big man in black, sitting quietly fishing.
"Pfft--" Huang Rong laughed when she saw the big man's appearance.
"Brother Mo, look at how pretentious this man is. He is actually fishing next to a waterfall in this deep mountain. The water is so fast, where are the fish coming from?"
"Haha, what Rong'er said is right. From my point of view, his fishing is fake, but blocking the road is real."
Seeing this person, Guo Mo immediately understood that this was Master "Yideng", the first of the four disciples, called "Dian Cang Yu Yin", who was originally the naval commander of Dali Kingdom and was extremely powerful.
Guo Mo stepped forward and said, "But Dian Cang Yu Yin is in front of you, so Guo Mo is polite."
The big man saw the two of them from a distance and unexpectedly recognized him as soon as they came up.
"Who are you, how do you know me, and why are you here?"
"Dian Cang Yu Yin" could tell at a glance that the two of them were martial artists, and he couldn't help but feel wary. After all, they had lived here in seclusion for many years, and no one had ever found them here.
"The two of you are from the 'Peach Blossom Island' in the East China Sea. We came to Dali to see Emperor Duan for some business, but I didn't expect that Emperor Duan had already become a monk."
"I met His Majesty Dali in the palace, and I found this place under His Majesty's guidance. I have something important to ask to see Master Yideng, and I hope the Governor can inform me."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Guo Mo’s words were very clever. He did not say that he came here to seek medical treatment, but also pointed out that it was the guidance of the King of Dali, and gave out the name of "Yideng".
The credibility of the matter is confirmed.
When I heard "Dian Cang Yu Yin", I was really stunned and didn't know how to reply.
It stands to reason that he should refuse, but since the other party came all the way from the "Peach Blossom Island" in the East China Sea, there must be something extraordinary going on, and he has met his own king and can recommend him here, which shows that the matter is quite important.
Guo Mo saw his hesitation and continued.
"If the Grand Governor cannot make the decision, you can discuss it with the other generals, General Wu, and Prime Minister Zhu, and then decide whether to inform the commander."
"If my command asks, you will tell me that it is related to the 'ancestors of the Duan family'. Master Yideng must be sure to see you and wait here. Your Majesty, please do so."
Listening to Guo Mo's words, he understood his side so clearly that after repeated consideration, he couldn't find anything strange.
"Then two of you, please wait a moment. I will go and report to my master right now."
Guo Mo and Huang Rong were not in a hurry, so they waited by the waterfall and ate some dry food.
"Brother Mo, did you just call that person 'Grand Governor'?"
"Rong'er, after Master Yideng became a monk, the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, the Chief of the Royal Forest Army, a general and the Prime Minister who followed him also resigned from their official positions and followed him into seclusion."
"Master Yideng also officially accepted them as his disciples. They are the four major disciples of the Fisherman, Woodcutter, Farmer and Reader."
About half an hour later, it seemed that Master Yideng's residence was not very close to here.
"Dian Cang Yu Yin" is back, and with him is a scholar holding a "Judge Pen", who is Zhu Ziliu, the most powerful "scholar" among the four disciples of Master "Yi Deng".
Zhu Ziliu came to Guo Mo and the two of them and looked at them first.
I always like to "judge people by their appearance". Seeing that Guo Mo and Huang Rong are both outstanding people, Zhu Ziliu became much less wary.
"I am Zhu Ziliu, who ranks last among my masters. What should I call you two?"
Seeing Zhu Ziliu's politeness and thoughtfulness, Guo Mo couldn't help but clasp his fists and salute.
"My lord, Guo Mo, this is Huang Rong, the daughter of the owner of 'Peach Blossom Island'."
At this time, it is necessary to report Huang Rong's identity.
Sure enough, Zhu Ziliu glanced at Huang Rong twice after hearing this.
"My master is very happy to hear that an old friend has sent someone here. You two, please come with me."
"Yu" and "Du" led the way, with Guo Mo and Huang Rong following behind.
A group of four people bypassed the waterfall and entered the depths of the mountain...
