At this time, the city gate was closed, and Guo Mo found a deserted area. The golden geese flew into the air, flew up the wall, and then floated down from the city wall.
From Lin'an to Jiaxing, it is less than two hundred miles.
Arriving at the inn outside the city, he used the command arrow to obtain a fast horse and headed towards Jiaxing.
Jiaxing, located northeast of Lin'an, was originally Xiuzhou.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, Xiuzhou was renamed Jiahe County. In the first year of Qingyuan of Ningzong in the Southern Song Dynasty, the county was promoted to a prefecture, and later it was changed to Jiaxing Army.
Guo Mo spared no effort and galloped all the way, only changing horses once at the inn.
At midnight, they arrived outside Jiaxing City. Guo Mo went to Guanyi outside the city first.
In the Song Dynasty, Guanyi was completely separated from correspondence and postal services, and only performed the duties of an official guest house.
From the outside, it looks like a magnificent temple, a dignified official residence, or a mansion of a wealthy family.
Guo Mo showed his token and registered the words "Imperial City Division".
The staff on duty, regardless of the annoyance of being woken up in the middle of the night, invited Guo Mo into the hotel with a smiling face.
Entering Jiaxing City in the middle of the night is meaningless.
Moreover, Jiaxing is so big that you may not be able to find it by yourself.
The key point is that this group of people may not go to the city to stay in a hotel in a grand manner.
Guo Mo drank a bowl of hot tea first, it was still a bit cool in the winter moon night.
Looking at the library attendants waiting on the side, Guo Mo suddenly thought of a question and asked.
"Are you a local?"
"If I go back to the post office, the younger one is a local. His ancestors have lived here for several generations, and he is very familiar with the radius of hundreds of miles."
After receiving and delivering guests all day long, the clerk's eyes are naturally bright.
Guo Mo smiled "haha", took out five taels of silver from his arms, and threw it to him.
"Where is the Iron Spear Temple in Jiaxing? How far is it from here?"
Guo Mo clearly remembers that the Iron Spear Temple in Jiaxing is also a very important plot flashpoint in the world of Double Eagles. There is no telling where this group of people will really end up.
"Sir, you really asked the right person. The Iron Spear Temple is just outside Jiaxing City, but not in our direction."
"You always come from Lin'an. You come from the southwest. The Iron Spear Temple is a little further north. If you want to go into the city, you can get there three miles from the north gate."
"If you don't go into the city, there is a path around here, but you have to walk an extra ten miles."
It's true that "money can make the world go round". The museum attendant explained it in detail. I wanted to take Guo Mo there to see it in person.
"Then how to get to 'Yuanyang Villa'?"
Guo Mo thought that since he was here, if time allowed, he should also visit the master's manor.
"It's not far away. Go west from the 'Iron Spear Temple' and it's about five miles away. It used to be the residence of a criminal official, but it was later bought and turned into the current 'Yuanyang Villa'
'."
"Haha, thank you very much. I'm just asking casually. Go and get me a good horse. I'm on my way soon."
After asking about what he wanted to know, Guo Mo knew what he wanted to know, but he still made plans for a while.
After all, "Western Poison" Ouyang Feng is also there, and there are two masked masters who are no less than him?
Although Guo Mo couldn't guess who it was for the time being, if all three of them were present, he might not be able to snatch Yang Guo back from them.
Guo Mo adjusted his breathing for about two quarters of an hour in the hotel, trying to keep himself in the best condition.
Then, ride on the newly replaced fast horse, follow the path, and take a detour to the Iron Spear Temple.
Iron Spear Temple is located in the north of Jiaxing City. It was built to commemorate the famous general of the Five Dynasties, Iron Spear Wang Yanzhang.
Next to the Iron Spear Temple, there is a tall tower with a crow nesting on the top of the tower.
Local villagers say that the crows in the Iron Spear Temple are magical soldiers and generals, and over the years, there have been more and more crows.
There were still two miles away, so Guo Mo dismounted his horse, tied it to the woods beside the road, and rushed to the Iron Spear Temple alone.
As I was walking forward, still a mile away from the Iron Spear Temple, I vaguely heard someone whispering on the opposite side.
Guo Mo hurriedly stepped aside, and within a moment, he saw two people walking from the direction of the Iron Spear Temple.
"Master, how can this young prince treat us like this? After all, we have been with the Sixth Prince for so many years, are we really not as good as a new Taoist?"
"You still have your face covered all day long, hiding your head and tail, looking shady, bah - what the hell!"
"Master Peng, don't get angry. Let's take a salary as a job. That guy likes to show off, so let him go."
"This trip to the Song Dynasty, I have finally understood that it is better to live peacefully. Didn't you see Gang Leader Sha? He couldn't even get his body back after his death. How pitiful."
The two of them sighed as they walked, as if they were both injured, and soon passed in front of Guo Mo.
Master Lingzhi and "Thousand-Hand Man-Slaughter" Peng Lianhu?
It seems that their group has really settled in the Iron Spear Temple.
Guo Mo ignored these two people and continued towards the Iron Spear Temple.
The Iron Spear Temple is not big. There is half a courtyard in front of the temple, and there is not even a gate.
From a distance, I saw several horses tied nearby, and lights were flashing inside the temple.
To know what's going on inside, just listen to what's behind your back.
Guo Mo sneaked around, using his lightness skills to the extreme, and flew to the window sill of the Iron Spear Temple.
There were indeed people inside, but Guo Mo checked and found that there were only three people, one of whom was obviously a child.
Aren't their people together?
But since the child is here, I can't afford to go looking for someone else.
"My young prince, I'm sorry that I can't agree to the request you just made."
A stiff voice, dry.
"Taoist Master, I really want to worship you as my master. If I can become a disciple of the Taoist Master, I would like to ask my father to seek the position of 'National Master' for the Taoist Master."
Wan Yankang's voice came, as always, full of "sincerity."
"Haha, I'll be honest, but the young prince also wanted to become a disciple of that 'Western Poison' through the Sixth Prince, but didn't he fail to do so in the end?"
"He is just a little Dharma king whom I teach. He is not willing to accept him as his disciple, so why should a poor Taoist accept him?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! These words reveal extreme arrogance and disdain.
Wanyankang's eyes flashed with a trace of cruelty, but he continued to speak.
"Taoist Priest has misunderstood. Mr. Ouyang is mainly due to the ancestral teachings that the inheritance of White Camel Mountain can only be passed down to one person. If we had known that this was the case, my father and I would not have taken the liberty to ask for apprenticeship."
"Hmph, he is a single disciple of Baituo Mountain. Don't there any rules in Pindao's sect? Pindao only accepts people with extraordinary talents. Do you know why Pindao wanted to snatch this baby?"
When the Taoist mentioned "baby", his voice was filled with a rare warmth, and he gently patted Yang Guo, who was sleeping soundly in his arms.
"Although this child is only over one year old, he has an 'innate body' that is rare in the world! In the future, martial arts training will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort, which is beyond the reach of others."
Guo Mo, who was hiding outside, felt very puzzled after hearing what this man said.
How did Guo'er become an "innate body"? Is it because I used the "Nine Yang Divine Skill" to warm and nourish his meridians, and the effect produced caused this Taoist to misunderstand?
Wanyankang didn't know what to say when he heard what the Taoist said. He didn't even know whether to tell the Taoist that the child he was holding was his son.
Don't forget that Yan Kang was ruthless towards Yang Tiexin and uncaring towards Mu Nianci, but the moment he saw Yang Guo, Wan Yankang's heart beat inexplicably, this is my son?!
Yes, whether he is Wanyan Kang or Yang Kang, the one-year-old child in front of him is his son!
Wan Yankang's ambitions are not small, but he suffers from the lack of powerful martial arts to practice.
Especially in the past few years, whether it is Ouyang Ke, Guo Jing, or Guo Mo, their martial arts are far superior to him.
He didn't say it with his mouth, but he was very jealous in his heart.
I have been apprenticed to so many teachers from the royal palace, including Qiu Chuji of the Quanzhen Sect, and Mei Chaofeng of the "Double Black Wind Demon", but my martial arts has always been stagnant at the second-rate level.
He finally met two more powerful experts, but they both rejected him for various reasons.
Recalling the time when he accidentally saw the Taoist in front of him take out a secret book from his arms and read the details, Wanyankang's heart suddenly moved.
"Haha, yes, this boy's strange appearance is really enviable."
"Taoist Master, the night is cold and windy. Although our mission failed this time, the boy took a jar of wine from the palace and was willing to share it with the Taoist Master."
As he spoke, he took out a two-pound small wine jar from behind, went to the altar table at the Iron Spear Temple, and took down two bowls from the altar table.
I poured out the offerings inside, washed them with water from my own water bag, and poured two bowls of wine.
When he came to the Taoist, he handed over a bowl with a smile.
The Taoist's face was covered, and his two eyes were exposed, emitting an eerie light.
"Haha, the young prince is so polite, so I'll just have a bowl of it."
After the old man finished speaking, he did not accept the bowl Wanyan Kang handed over, but reached out to ask for it. Wanyan Kang was going to keep the bowl for himself.
The atmosphere in the Iron Spear Temple suddenly froze, and the two people's eyes exchanged silently several times.
"Haha, okay, it would be my honor to offer you a bowl of wine."
During the whole process, Wanyankang kept smiling and handed over his bowl of wine as the Taoist asked.
When the Taoist received the wine, Wanyankang held the bowl of wine in his hands.
"Although I am not blessed to be a Taoist priest, I am lucky to be able to work with an expert like the Taoist priest. I respect you by doing it first."
After saying that, he raised his neck, drank the bowl of wine, and then revealed the bottom of the bowl.
He poured another bowl and took a sip.
The Taoist saw that Wanyan Kang had taken the bowl of wine originally given to him, and after drinking it, there was no abnormality.
Suddenly I felt that I was thinking too much, and I couldn't help but blush.
Fortunately it was night and he was still wearing a hijab, so it wasn't so embarrassing.
The Taoist also held the wine bowl, gently lifted the face towel at the corner of his mouth, and drank the bowl of wine.
Watching the Taoist finish his drink, Wanyankang's smile became even brighter.
"Taoist Priest, you came to the Kingdom of Jin quite late. Have you ever heard of the boy's story?"
Wanyankang fiddled with the bonfire lit in the temple and asked calmly.
"Oh, the story of the young prince? I have heard some of it, but I don't know which one the young prince is referring to?"
After hearing Yan Kang's strange question, the Taoist didn't know how to reply to him for a moment.
"A martial arts contest to recruit a bride! More than two years ago, I competed in a martial arts contest to recruit a bride on the streets of Zhongdu and won a woman."
Wan Yankang's mouth was filled with a smile, as if he had returned to that windy and snowy day.
"Hmph, it seems like I won more than just a woman, right? It happens that the woman's adoptive father also has something to do with the young prince, right? Haha——"
The Taoist seemed to have remembered something funny and looked at Wan Yankang with disdain.
"That's right, that man's name is Yang Tiexin, and he is said to be my biological father. I forgot to tell the Taoist Priest that the man named Yang Tiexin, Taoist Priest, you have just met."
Wanyankang had already stood up and came to the Taoist with a smile.
The Taoist felt something was wrong inexplicably, but he couldn't explain it.
"Can't you remember who it was? It was the guy who kicked the shopkeeper away when the Taoist priest snatched someone's child from the tavern outside the city of Lin'an. Hahaha——"
Wanyankang suddenly laughed unscrupulously, venting his dissatisfaction and resentment that he had suppressed for too long.
"That person is Yang Tiexin? What about this child?" The Taoist seemed to suddenly realize something.
Wanyankang, still smiling, came to the Taoist, reached out and snatched the child from his arms.
And during the whole process, the Taoist didn't show any rejection at all.
"How did you take the poison? Weren't you also drunk?"
The Taoist finally knew that he was still following Wan Yankang's Tao.
"In the eyes of the Taoist Master, Wan Yankang is like an ant. I begged you so hard for him, but you abandoned him like a pair of worn shoes."
"Taoist Priest, you know that the child you regard as a treasure is actually my biological son. Hahaha——"
"My young prince, it seems that this is all a misunderstanding. Now that we have said it, I will accept this child as my disciple, and you are his father, so we are a family."
"If the young prince really wants to learn Pindao's 'Xuanming Divine Palm', Pindao can just ask the young prince to make a copy of it. Why hurt his harmony?"
"Hahaha - the Taoist priest is scared? Did he find that he has no internal strength? Are he still thinking about using energy to force out poison?"
"Actually, the boy was drugged in the two bowls of wine just now. No matter which bowl you choose, the result will be the same. It's just that the boy was greedy and poured an extra bowl, so he just put the antidote in."
"This is not considered poison. It's just that within an hour, I can't mobilize my true energy and my whole body becomes weak. One hour is enough for this kid to get your secret book."
After saying that, he reached into the Taoist's arms, took out a green soft baggage, opened it and took a look.
Inside there is a secret book "Xuanming Divine Palm" and a palm-sized red token.
Wanyankang put it into his arms without thinking.
"ah--"
Wan Yankang is indeed a ruthless person who does not leave any trouble for himself.
The "Nine Yin White Bone Claws" reached out and actually tore off the Taoist's entire left arm.
"Hmph, you, a bastard from the Western Regions, are worthy of shouting in front of me, and you still want to steal my son?"
"Yang Tiexin, although I don't recognize him, I can't really let outsiders bully me. You should pay him for this arm."
The Taoist had no power at all now. One of his arms was torn off, and the blood stained his whole body red. He was in excruciating pain.
"Pah, pah, pah—"
A burst of applause came from outside the temple, and then the temple door was pushed open.
"Wonderful, wonderful——"
"who?"
Wan Yankang, who was full of satisfaction, shivered and turned back to look at the door.
Guo Mo walked in from outside the temple.
"We haven't seen each other for more than two years. Should I call you Wan Yankang or Yang Kang?"
"It's you?"
When he saw the face of the visitor clearly, Wan Yankang knew that today's situation might be troublesome.
"It's me. Originally, I was worried that 'Western Poison' Ouyang Feng was here. I heard that there were two masked masters. Oh, this one should be one of the masked masters, right?"
"Guo Mo, what are you doing here? There seems to be no grudge between you and me?"
After hearing what Yan Kang said, Guo Mo realized that it seemed that he really had no direct grudges with this person.
If we must say that he is grabbing his apprentice, he seems to be his biological son. Using the weird theory of the Taoist just now, he and Wan Yankang can be regarded as "his own people"?
"No grudge? It seems that you don't know many things yourself, right?"
Guo Mo's confident performance left the always conceited Wan Yankang at a loss.
"My name is Guo Mo. I have to call the late Xiao Tiangong 'Daddy'. How did he die? He was killed when Wanyan Honglie sent people to massacre Niujia Village!"
"The reason for the massacre of the village is very simple. Wanyan Honglie fell in love with your mother and wanted to destroy her family, and then he would play the good guy and be a 'hero saving the beauty'."
"Needless to say, you already know everything that follows. If you insist on calling me Wan Yan Kang, do you think there will be any grudge between us?"
"What? You said that my father sent people to massacre the village? Impossible! How could it be possible? My father loves my mother so much..."
Wan Yankang was also shocked by Guo Mo's remarks, but after careful consideration, he felt that what Guo Mo said should be true.
In other words, if it were him, he would do the same thing and do whatever it takes to achieve his goal.
But, that is my mother...
"Don't worry, I won't hold this grudge against you. Whether you admit it or not, you are Uncle Yang's son, and I won't take your life."
"As for Wanyan Honglie, if he lives long enough and I see him one day, I will personally take his head off his neck."
"Then why did you come here tonight?"
Hearing what Guo Mo said, Wanyankang became even more confused and couldn't figure out the purpose of Guo Mo's visit.
"For him, this is my third disciple, leave it to me."
"What?"
When Wanyankang saw Guo Mo, he pointed at the child in his arms and said it was his third disciple.
Suddenly, the emotions were a little complicated.
"Wan Yankang, you know that you are no match for me, and there is no chance for you to show off your dirty tricks in front of me."
"If you happily hand it over to me, maybe I can bring you some benefits."
"benefit?"
Wan Yankang was a little confused, but he felt inexplicably that Guo Mo in front of him would really bring him unexpected benefits...
