In Changshan Junior High School in Jizhou, there are recent anecdotes about the "Immortal Cave Mansion".
It is said that there is a mysterious village of uncertain location deep in the Changshan Mountains. Occasionally, lost hunters, woodcutters, and even traders wander into it. Although the village can accommodate hundreds of people, almost no one lives there.
Some people claim to have seen an old warrior with white beard and hair there. He has a gentle personality, but he doesn't like to talk. No matter how many questions and entanglements the intruders have, they just arrange a place for him to rest and then leave.
.
Some people have seen a middle-aged Taoist with a bad temper there. If the intruder is honest and obedient, it will be fine. If he behaves slightly out of line, he will directly use his magic to restrain him and throw him in the guest room unable to move.
The two rarely appear at the same time, but almost everyone has seen the handsome young man who sent them away. He is gentle and polite, behaves politely, speaks neither arrogantly nor condescendingly, treats those who enter by mistake equally, and answers all questions.
.
"Name? My name is 'Changshan Zhao Zilong'."
"Where is this place? It seems to be called the 'Martial Arts Hall'."
"Those two? They are both my teachers. No, they are just guests, not hosts."
"Who is the owner of this place? Well, he should be a very beautiful big sister."
"How beautiful is it? This...how should I say...it's just beautiful."
"How big? I think maybe—"
Whoosh - the hunter who asked the last sentence claimed that his words were bounced away as soon as he left his mouth.
You deserve it... Do you want to ask the Queen Mother or Guanyin Bodhisattva how old they are?
Taken together, this is a "cave mansion" built by a certain female fairy or goddess. Two gentlemen, one civil and one martial, were invited to teach the young man named "Zhao Zilong" what kind of skills the young man who was so valued would have, and
When he will come out of the mountain and what kind of feats he will perform are all topics of conversation among idle people in Changshan Kingdom.
——Ah? Are you talking about the Changshan Zhao family? The old Zhao family who called himself Zhao Ba and named his son Zhao Feng and Zhao Yun? If you expect him to come up with a name like "Zhao Zilong", you might as well expect the king to suddenly give generously.
——Oh, speaking of the king’s charity, when there was a plague before...
Therefore, the rumor of the so-called "Immortal Cave" is a topic that is worthy of discussion, but not many people are true about it.

Changshan, the Hall of Warriors.
"Destroying 50,000 rebellious Qiang in one blow is a way of paying tribute to Wang Yue," Tong Yuan sighed: "She is asking, where is the 'Sword Master' who 'pinged Helan with one man and one sword'?"
"Did you just notice this, old man? We were in the same military camp, we were both rebels, the rebel Qiang were wiped out, and the Han people were almost unscathed. Don't you think her rule of 'all foreigners can be killed' is quite to your liking?"
Zhang Jiao responded.
"That's not the reason for you to raise a flag to rebel!"
"Pindao just wants to kill a stupid king!"
"People from outside the country should not get too involved with the mortal world!"
"It's impossible for you to involve me now!"
Here he comes again, Zhao Yun is looking at the sky.
Three years have passed since the "Great Master" and the "Shenqiang" were imprisoned in this "Fairy Cave" by the "Nanhua Fairy". During this period, the Sili plague was eliminated, and the Xiliang Qiang people rebelled and became peaceful.
Since the rumors were lagging behind, after Zhao Yun relayed the news from the market, which was problematic both in terms of timeliness and authenticity, Tong Yuan and Zhang Jiao could only make simple judgments and use their words - and then nothing happened.
A few sentences can turn into personal attacks on each other.
Yes, of course, this "Martial Man's Pavilion" does not restrict Zhao Yun's entry and exit. In fact, every time Zhao Yun returns home, the "cave mansion" whose location can change ever-changing will stay in place. This is why it will be
Lost woodcutter hunter discovers the cause.
When he first started practicing martial arts with Tong Yuan, his father Zhao Liangfu would give him a "teaching test" when he returned home. But when Zhao Yun could easily use a wooden stick to knock the ax out of his father's hand, just like he did with Zhao Feng.
, he finally didn’t even have the qualifications to take the teaching exam, so he could only turn around and vigorously develop his own strength.
Zhao Yun's name "Zilong" was given by his master Tong Yuan, and his father agreed with it, so he gave Zhao Feng the name "Bohu", which means "the wind follows the tiger, and the clouds follow the dragon".
"I heard that these 'Three Rivers Knights' all carried their own tribes. The one who made great achievements was named Cao Mengde, and his family even gave him 10,000 cavalry," Zhao Liangfu said: "As descendants of the King of Nanyue, our old Zhao family
, you can’t lose face and become a bodyguard or something like that. If you go out of the mountain in the future, your father will definitely ask Bohu to lead - uh, lead 20,000 people to accompany you!"
It wouldn't be enough to send everyone from the Zhao family to the side... Zhao Yun had no choice but to refuse his father's wishes, and it was good to set a goal for him, so he could only thank him at that time.
"Charlatan!"
"Vulgar warrior!"
When Zhao Yun's thoughts came back, the "Great Master" and the "Magic Spear", who were admired by so many people outside, started arguing like children again. The most convenient way to break this situation is -
"The relationship between the two masters is really good~" Zhao Yun praised.
""Who has a good relationship with him!"" they all said in unison.
"..."
"Hey, Zilong is so tricking," Tong Yuan shook his head: "You must have taught him."
After saying that, without waiting for Zhang Jiao to respond, Tong Yuan walked away with his hands behind his back.
"Well... Zilong, you are going down the mountain this time, but it is different from before. You are looking for a correct way to govern the world." Zhang Jiao continued the conversation with an unchanged expression: "Pindao and Tong Yuan have nothing to do with this matter."
The opinions are quite conflicting, so I have not taught you anything."
"Yes, Master," Zhao Yun responded, "But what does 'correct' mean?"
"You can make your own judgment based on the knowledge that Tong Yuan and I have taught you over the years," Zhang Jiao said, "As for whether the strategy you ultimately choose is in favor of Pindao or him, this will just settle the dispute between us."
"Disciple will definitely think carefully about it." Zhao Yun responded.
As for Tong Yuan and Zhang Jiao's theory of governance, Zhao Yun could also see a little bit from their usual arguments. One is top-down and the other is bottom-up. There is almost no possibility of coexistence, but they managed to live together for three years...
…That “Southern China Fairy” really has some extraordinary tricks up her sleeve.
"This time to quell the rebellion in Liangzhou, Liu...he, the emperor recruited the children of almost all the aristocratic families in the Central Plains. Although Fairy Lin intervened, the talented people must have stood out among them, and they should have their own opinions on how to govern the world.
"Zhang Jiao continued: "If you can listen to their opinions on this matter, it may be helpful to your choice. However, if you ask about such an important matter, I'm afraid you won't get an answer."
"This is also a test that disciples need to face when looking for strategies to govern the world." Zhao Yun responded.
"If you meet people from Taiping Dao, don't pay any attention to them. Pindao has 'disappeared' for such a long time, so they must have found a new path." Zhang Jiao seemed a little hesitant: "But if you meet your junior sister, you should pay some attention.
stop."
"Junior sister?" Zhao Yun thought for a moment and said, "Disciple heard that the 'Great Sage Master' has many disciples, regardless of gender. Which junior sister is she specifically?"
"The one with the apricot-yellow flag, who is always lost and disobedient." Zhang Jiao's voice was angry and a little... loving?
This attitude is not like that of a disciple, but I heard that the Taoist Patriarch of Taiping Dao had a daughter who seemed to be about the same age as himself... Zhao Yun thought for a while and decided not to continue asking.
"Then, after the disciple comes down from the mountain, he will go to Luoyang to meet and taste the victorious heroes." Zhao Yun nodded: "Does the master have any other instructions?"
"I have already said what needs to be explained, and the last thing is..." Zhang Jiao sighed: "If someone asks you about your apprenticeship, and you have to answer, claim to be Tong Yuan's disciple, and don't mention Pindao."
"Huh? This -" "This is my master's order." Before Zhao Yun could argue, Zhang Jiao blocked his words.
"Although the information you collect every time you go out is mostly vague, it is not wrong for the imperial court to want to deal with Taiping Dao. If a young man with amazing talents claims to be a close disciple of the Taiping Dao ancestor, do you think they will
What will you do?" Zhang Jiao shook his head.
"Master is so complimentary." Zhao Yun cupped his hand.
"..." Zhang Jiao was stunned for a moment before he thought of what Zhao Yun meant.
"Hahaha! Did you secretly stuff private goods in an attempt to smear the imperial court and your disciple discovered it?" Tong Yuan walked back in from the door, holding a silver gun in his hand.
"Master Tong." Zhao Yun turned around and saluted. When two masters were present at the same time, he would add his last name.
"Hmph, Zilong's martial arts were all taught by you, and I'm a poor man who doesn't understand. If you put something in, you won't be able to see it." Zhang Jiao retorted.
"Then," Tong Yuan threw the silver gun to Zilong: "The name of this gun is 'gentian', which was used by my master when he was young. It is suitable for you who have not yet grown up. After you are crowned, that gun will
You can probably use the "Right Dragon Dangers" too - by the way, they can defeat most defensive "unparalleled" ones."
"Thank you, Master Tong." Zhao Yun caught the "gentian" and played two spears with a smile on his handsome face: "The disciple likes it very much."
"Too cunning," Zhang Jiao frowned as he looked at it: "Pindao's teachings and training can make Zilong immune to the effects of magic curses, poisonous plagues or special unparalleled effects, but there is no way to show it."
"It's a pity that neither the master nor the wandering Taoist priest wears armor, but they don't have similar items as gifts." Tong Yuan ignored Zhang Jiao and continued.
Zhang Jiao seemed to be thinking about something, but he didn't respond when he was called "Wandering Taoist Priest". He suddenly raised his head and said loudly: "The disciples of the poor Taoist and the bad-tempered old man are about to go down the mountain for a trip. I wonder if the fairy has any gifts for me?"
"Master Zhang!?" Zhao Yun was shocked. Although the "fairy" almost never appeared, the two masters were clearly imprisoned here by her. Such requests...
Buzz——
As Zhang Jiao spoke, a light green light that reached the sky completely enveloped the living room, and spread suddenly in all directions in the next moment. Wherever the light passed, the world changed dramatically.
Since the "Martial Arts Hall" is located on the top of a mountain, Zhao Yun can clearly see that Changshan Kingdom in the distance and the villages and towns on the surrounding plains were instantly reduced to ruins, and then covered by countless dense jungles and shrubs, leaving only
We walked down several official roads that seemed to have been abandoned for a long time, and the entire world in our field of vision was covered with a layer of light green.
"Heaven is dead, Huang Tian shall stand..." Zhang Jiao murmured to himself.
"The blue sea and blue sky are in my heart every night..." Tong Yuan was also a little sluggish.
The sky was obviously green. Zhao Yun recovered from the shock and glanced at the two masters. If this was the gift from the fairy - a whole world to hide in, it would be really precious.
