Chu Nanfeng thought of Ji Jinghai's emotion while chanting bamboo on Moforget Island, and knew that everyone's mood is different, and their persistence and perseverance in emotions are different.
What Luo Hanshui said sounded free and easy, but it was really sad. Thinking of the visit to Luo Hanshui and his wife with Ma Xilan twenty years ago, he suddenly saw it and couldn't help but sigh: "Twenty years have passed since we said goodbye to Luoyang...
well."
Luo Hanshui's face looked melancholy when he heard this, and he chanted slowly:
The cold water of the Luo River makes the boat run fast,
The snow pavilion Shuning warms and the wine smells.
Chu Nanfeng came to his senses instantly and continued:
The south wind warms the frost beads,
Ma Xilan looked at the drizzle outside the hall and said slowly:
Dressed in green and wearing spring makeup.
Twenty years ago, Luo Hanshui and his wife went to Luoyang to relieve people. Fan Shuning, who was in the branch courtyard, saw Chu and Ma who came to help. He sent a letter from the Arrow Guard to Luo Hanshui, who was in Luoning to help people, to return.
They got together and drank and chatted. Soon after, Fan Shuning gave birth to Luo Xiaoyao, who died in depression because her parents were killed by water thieves.
When we got together, one person recited an impromptu poem, and after reciting it, past events emerged, but it was Fan Shuning who was the only one who lacked the "snow pavilion, Shuning's warm fragrance of wine".
The three of them were sad and silent for a while. After a long time, Ma Xilan said: "The past is like smoke, but now that Xiaoyao has grown up, I can rest assured knowing that I know what is going on under Shuning Spring."
Luo Hanshui nodded slowly, and then said: "Then let's just wait and see what happens... After Qiu Bai returns, I will inquire about Jun Gui's arrangements at Emperor Taizu's mausoleum, hoping that he will not have any trouble.
Suspicious."
"Well, this is a necessary move, as long as we don't talk to him about the Buddha's Tribulation." Chu Nanfeng pondered for a moment, and then said: "But there is one thing that worries me..."
"What's the matter?" Luo Hanshui was slightly surprised.
"But if we go by what Master Wenyi said, I'm afraid there will be changes..."
"Oh? How do you say this?" Luo Hanshui asked doubtfully.
Chu Nanfeng hesitated for a moment and said: "Although Jungui has dragon energy added to his body, his energy is still weak. This is because he has not yet been blessed by the dragon's energy. When he is about to destroy the Buddha, the energy in the dragon's veins will
Luck will be conveyed to him through the luck attached to Xiaoyao."
Luo Hanshui had heard Chu Nanfeng say before that it was difficult to understand that a destiny separated from the earth's veins was attached to Luo Xiaoyao. However, he thought that Wen Yi, an eminent monk, would not lie, so he did not ask in detail. After hearing this,
A thought came to my mind, "But I noticed something wrong?"
"As just mentioned, this dragon vein is a water pool, Jungui is its tributary, and Xiaoyao is the channel. When Jungui performs the act of destroying the Buddha, the water in the pool overflows and flows into the tributary through the channel... and wait for it to disappear.
Only when the merits and deeds of resentment are completed, will Xiaoyao's luck truly return to the earth's veins, and then the channel will be able to flow smoothly, and the weather will soar..."
"There is nothing wrong with this. If no one had appeared during Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Yingjie would have already completed his merits and would not be reborn in this world." Luo Hanshui said.
"The day before yesterday, I heard Master Wenyi say that there is a way to steal the sky and change the sun. Just now, Luyi said again about innate nature and acquired nature, but that is what worries me." Chu Nanfeng muttered: "Zhiku snatched away the golden formula and the scriptures, the real
The purpose... I think it is not only to find the guardian, but also a bigger plan?"
Luo Hanshui was surprised, "What's the plan?"
"Do you remember that I told you that Zhiguang kidnapped King Yan of the Southern Tang Dynasty?"
After Luo Hanshui woke up after breaking the tribulation that day, he heard what Chu Nanfeng said, but he had never known so much inside information at that time. Now it was related to Luo Xiaoyao's life and death. Hearing the words, he couldn't help but think deeply. After a while, he said: "Nanfeng, you are
Said that they will use the magic techniques of golden formulas and scriptures to steal the sky and change the sun... and make the Yingjie Emperor an abandoned son? But the protector of the Tao is immortal. Even if the Yingjie Emperor dies or is easily replaced, the spirit of destroying the Buddha will not disappear. "
"The King of Yan was kidnapped into a cave, and a few drops of blood were taken away. He used Zhiku's magical power of 'Leaking up Tong' and added the Golden Jue Scripture. If he didn't have a conspiracy, he would not have kidnapped the person for no reason.
And sent it back... It should be as Lu Yi said, he is looking for someone who matches the dragon vein and five elements, in order to change the difficulty of the Buddha's calamity."
Chu Nanfeng paused for a moment and then said: "It's a pity that we don't have anyone who is proficient in Kanyu techniques. The variables involved are really unpredictable... At present, we will try to find out Mr. Qi Zhu's layout from Junior Brother Jiang. There may be some answers.
All the eyebrows..."
Luo Hanshui pondered and said: "The Taoist who taught Xiaoyao the technique should know the ins and outs of it. Xiaoyao asked clearly about the treatment, or had some countermeasures..."
"Well, the weather has changed...it should be more help from those who have gained the Tao." Chu Nanfeng nodded.
"I hope so..." Luo Hanshui shook his head helplessly, took a sip of fragrant tea from the table, and suddenly said with a smile: "I almost forgot to tell you about this Buddha calamity when you mentioned it..."
"Oh?" Chu Nanfeng saw him smiling softly and asked, "What's the happy news?"
"Hehe, it should be a great joy for you." Luo Hanshui smiled and said: "Nanfeng, you know the origin of Tongbao Pavilion. Back then, Duke Guo Ling used the wealth given by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to his ancestors and others to do business.
, its purpose is to provide disaster relief and help the people.”
"After the Yellow Trouble broke out, the world was in chaos. Our ancestors followed the original intention of Lord Ling and passed on their great wishes... If there is a wise king in trouble in the future, Tongbao Pavilion will do its best to help him. Now, according to Mr. Zhu, it is obvious that the wise king will rule the world.
It’s up to you, I want to dissolve Tongbao Pavilion and donate the property to the Zhou Dynasty to increase national strength..."
Chu Nanfeng and Ma Xilan were greatly surprised, and couldn't help but look at each other in amazement. They also heard Luo Hanshui say: "The chaos in the court has been quelled, and renovation requires a lot of money. Although Tongbao Pavilion has done something to relieve the victims, it only treats the symptoms but not the root cause..."
Chu Nanfeng nodded, "Even so... Brother Hanshui wants to dissolve the foundation that our ancestors have worked hard for hundreds of years. Is it necessary? What's more, the information conveyed by the Arrow Guards is important for..."
Luo Hanshui knew the meaning behind his words and said: "Last year, we rescued people in Zhenzhou. In accordance with the last wish of our late father, we not only used the ownerless wealth in the pavilion to help the people, but also built the Zhenzhou city wall. Two months later,
Khitan, Jiaonan branch...some officials suddenly withdrew their savings."
Chu Nanfeng was startled and asked suspiciously: "Are you talking about the Liao and Tang court's intention to move Tongbao Pavilion?"
"The reason why this pavilion has been able to survive for hundreds of years is that we follow the instructions of our ancestors and do not interfere in the affairs of the court. This time we allocate funds to build the city wall, it naturally allows the various dynasties to get a glimpse of our position. I think they are determined to be detrimental to this pavilion.
Some court officials then took away the deposited money."
Chu Nanfeng knew that he had always acted cautiously, and this time he did not conceal anything to let people know that he must have a purpose in helping the Great Zhou Dynasty of the Central Plains, so he said: "Brother Hanshui must have had a plan for a long time. There must be some other plans, right?"
"After I woke up, thinking about Mr. Zhu's words, I decided to help the Central Plains court. However, I thought that the Zhou Dynasty would definitely launch a campaign to conquer the south and the north. If the courts saw that I could help the Central Plains court,
A sudden attack will definitely catch us off guard.
This time, we did not conceal the funding for the construction of the Zhenzhou city wall and the purchase of military supplies, just to test the reactions of the surrounding dynasties... Most of the owners of our property are officials and nobles from various courts, and they also know our financial resources.
Strong connections.
The various dynasties naturally wanted to win over me. When they inquired about my identity, they asked these officials to take away the property stored in the cabinet. They wanted to warn me, but they also gave me a buffer time... From last year to
Nowadays, except for the Central Plains where there are still a few branch pavilions that have not yet been dissolved, there is no Tongbao pavilion in each dynasty.
Six years ago, I had already worked hard to build inns and restaurants in important states and counties in various dynasties. In order to avoid the risk of attracting the public, these inns had different names. No one outside knew that they were the property of Tongbao Pavilion. Some of the disbanded Arrow Guards were
Go to inns in various places."
Luo Hanshui paused and said with a smile: "These flying pigeons are an important channel for human power to transmit information, but they must not be thrown away. Although the inn is not as profitable as a bank account, it is still more than enough to support these people."
Chu Nanfeng knew that he was a powerful person, so he nodded, "How will Brother Hanshui arrange the stewards, elders and other figures in each branch?"
"These elders of the nine major branch pavilions can be used by me because they want to live in seclusion. If it were not for the secret escort of Yinliang, they would hardly leave their homes. Now Tongbao Pavilion is disbanded.
Naturally, I went to Lingxiu Village in Fangzhou to live in seclusion. There are nearly 2,000 other stewards, deacons and remaining arrow guards. I let them choose whether to stay or not... among them, more than 700 people are willing to stay."
"But the person who left...will it pose a hidden danger to the existence of the inn?" Mahilan said.
"For hundreds of years, the rules of Tongbao Pavilion have been designed to prevent changes in personnel in the pavilion. It is inevitable to have rewards and punishments... I believe that no one will do anything to harm the descendants." Luo Hanshui said lightly.
Every gang in the Jianghu has a set of rules on rewards and punishments that are not known to outsiders. But after listening to Luo Hanshui's words, they thought it was an attempt to kill him. Chu Nanfeng and Ma Xilan couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly.
He also heard Luo Hanshui say: "When Qiu Bai comes back, I will recommend to him those nearly five hundred people who are willing to serve the court as former stewards and Arrow Guards. They can join the Imperial Guards and Shenhu Camp, and the remaining two or three hundred people will be recommended to him."
I will go back to Fangzhou to recuperate for later use."
Chu Nanfeng smiled and said: "I think Brother Hanshui is a general, he should be able to lead troops to fight..."
At this moment, I saw four people walking into the courtyard, but it was Manager Pei who came with Zhao Yinshan, Shang You and a girl.
Zhao Yinshan laughed as he walked to the hall, "Junior Brother, I went to stay in the branch pavilion. I heard that Senior Brother Chu, Senior Sister-in-law, and Senior Brother Luo were in the other courtyard, so I asked Manager Pei to bring me here..."
Shang You hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Disciple Shang You has met Master Chu, and Master Chu... has met Master Luo."
He should have called Chu Nanfeng his uncle, but he felt that calling him his aunt Mahilan was awkward. As a disciple of the academy, it was feasible to call Chu Nanfeng his master, so he addressed her as master and master's wife.
Ma Xilan looked at the slim girl next to Shang You who looked half surprised and half shy, and thought, "Are you Wan Zhen?"
This girl was none other than Li Wanzhen. She had also heard about Ma Xilan's victimization. Looking at the elegant woman in her fifties, she immediately guessed her identity and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Disciple Li Wanzhen, I wish you to meet my master."
Ma Xilan has experienced hardships and is already in her forties. She and Chu Nanfeng have no idea of having children. Looking at this gentle and heroic apprentice, maternal love suddenly arises. She helps her up and says softly: "
Master Wu said that you showed off your extravagance and favored others. If so, I asked Xiaoyao to pass on the art on my behalf because I was afraid that someone would snatch you away."
This statement made Li Wanzhen's face turn red. She had seen Shang You's salute and knew the identities of Chu and Luo. She was shy and hurriedly saluted Chu and Luo: "I've seen you, sir. I've seen you."
Master Luo."
Chu Nanfeng chuckled lightly, "I originally accepted a disciple on your master's behalf, but later he learned your master's martial arts and became my disciple. Your master still has troubles sometimes... Now it will be fine
, She has Wenxiang, Wanzhen, and I have Xiaoyao, Muyun, good, good."
"Now that I have no official position, I look like I have to recruit a disciple, haha..." Luo Hanshui felt something in his heart. His beloved daughter Luo Mingzhu's mischievous smile flashed before his eyes. He couldn't help but smile and turned to Zhao Yinshan.
: "Why did Junior Brother Zhao come to Bianjing now? Isn't it Qiubai who told you about Nanfeng's injury?"
"Ah, Senior Brother Chu was injured?" Zhao Yinshan was shocked, "Who did it?"
"Something happened in the Great Zhou Si Tianjian, and I happened to meet him. The person who came here had extraordinary martial arts. It was confirmed that he suffered a minor injury and has recovered."
Luo Hanshui continued with a smile: "If Junior Brother Zhao didn't come to visit Nanfeng after hearing the news... then Qiu Bai invited you to help the army, but is that so?"
"You shouldn't be going to the army, right?" Zhao Yinshan shook his head, "Seven days ago, an arrow guard sent a letter to the academy. It was a letter personally written by Qiu Bai... It's strange to say that the letter said something very simple, only saying one thing.
The matter is of vital importance and cannot be delayed. Shang You and I are asked to come after receiving the letter. He has another letter left at the house regarding the specific matters. Please ask Brother and Sister Jiang for help...then just follow the instructions in the letter."
"Oh? I met him, but I didn't hear what he said when I met him..." Chu Nanfeng was surprised, and after a pause, he raised his eyes to Luo Hanshui, and the two of them nodded with understanding, "It's night.
It’s getting late, everyone is tired from the journey, so let’s go and rest first.”
…
The next morning, Zhao Yinshan and Shang You, who went to Jiang Qiubai's residence, came back carrying a large box. Chu Nanfeng and Luo Hanshui were very surprised when they saw this.
After reading Jiang Qiubai's message, both Chu and Luo were shocked. Chu Nanfeng looked at Zhao Yinshan with a solemn expression, "Today is twenty-two, and there are still five days before the burial in Guanpao Tomb in Chanzhou. He,
There is still nearly half a month left for the burial of the sword and armor in the Wei Mansion. Junior brother Zhao and Shang You can go to Chanzhou first, bury the crown and robe according to the location of the brocade bag, and then come back to pick up the sword and armor and go to the river and the land of Wei."
"As for the burial tomb of Emperor Taizu's sword crown, you two must follow Qiu Bai's letter and never talk to outsiders." Luo Hanshui continued: "Go and find the location contained in the brochure as soon as possible to avoid
It's too late... Nanfeng and I will take care of the sword armor here for now. You two should get on the carriage immediately and go back as soon as possible."
Zhao Yinshan and Shang You knew that Jiang Qiubai did not need anyone from the court to handle the matter, so he must be hiding something. They looked at Chu Nanfeng and nodded, "Senior brother, don't worry, Shang You and I will act immediately."
After Zhao and Shang left, Chu Nanfeng looked at Luo Hanshui and said: "I think Mr. Zhu's tip is to bury Emperor Taizu in the tomb with swords, armor, crowns and robes. This is a noble matter for Qiu Bai and Qiu Bai."
Rather, he thought carefully and used the people from the academy to act."
Luo Hanshui nodded and said thoughtfully: "If this is the case, these burial tombs should be the key to protecting the dragon's veins. Zhiku and the others should try their best to find them. Should we... send people to protect the tombs?"
Chu Nanfeng pondered for a moment and said, "I can't detect the 'destiny power' and 'leak all power' of wisdom and suffering. The situation laid out by Mr. Zhu must be based on something. If someone is sent to look after it, it will easily reveal the truth."
"It's a pity that both of you and I are suffering from wisdom and have encountered wisdom, so we can't go to the burial tomb. What if something happened to Junior Brother Zhao and me on the way..." Luo Hanshui was worried.
He and Chu Nanfeng had fought against Zhiku and Zhiguang respectively. If they helped Zhao Yinshan bury their clothes and swords, they might really be exposed.
"Brother Hanshui, there is no need to think like this. Outsiders have no way of knowing what Junior Brother Zhao and Shang You did on this trip. If we really encounter Zhiku and the others, it can only be said that they are doomed..."
At this time, Ma Xilan led Lin Wanzhen into the hall. Chu Nanfeng paused for a moment, looked at Li Wanzhen, and said with a smile: "Have Xiaoyao and Xiaohu said when they will return to the academy?"
Li Wanzhen shook her head, "They left with Master Mingwu a month ago. The disciple... asked Senior Brother Xiaoyao when he would return to the hospital. He said that he would talk about it after visiting Master and Sir."
"This kid, after living in Lingxiu Village for three days, went to Yaowang Valley with Junior Brother Xiaohu and the other three." Luo Hanshui shook his head and sighed, "I don't want to calm down anymore."
Mahilan continued: "He is miserable in his heart. Looking for something to do and going out for a walk is a way to relieve his grief."
"Suffering in your heart?" Li Wanzhen was greatly surprised. She looked at Luo Hanshui and said, "Uncle Luo is out of danger. Senior brother, what else does he have to worry about...?"
The three of them looked at each other and knew that Luo Xiaoyao had never told Xiao Muyun about the poison. Ma Xilan hesitated for a moment and sighed: "Senior Sister Muyun was killed by a traitor and was poisoned. It may take a year or two.
He will recover later, so he feels sad because he is happy..."
"Ah?! Victimized by a traitor?" Li Wanzhen suddenly turned pale, "We have to wait a year or two? This..."
"Fortunately, Mu Yun was lucky enough to escape the catastrophe. When Junior Brother Zhao and Brother Zhao come back, Master will take you to visit Mu Yun and Senior Sister Wen Xiang... If you are willing, you can stay on Moforget Island.
, Master can also teach you the exercises."
Lin Wanzhen was stunned for a moment, her expression changed from sadness to joy, "Wanzhen is willing to stay by Master's side."
Chu Nanfeng looked at Ma Xilan's loving expression on Li Wanzhen and felt something in his heart, "Luyi, Bianjing is quite prosperous. Just when Wanzhen came, you should go sightseeing in Kyoto with her."
Mahilan smiled sweetly, "What about you? Why don't we go for a walk together..."
Chu Nanfeng smiled and said, "I want to discuss some matters with Brother Hanshui."
Ma Xilan knew that the matter he was talking about must be related to Luo Xiaoyao and Dragon Vein, so she nodded, got up, and left with a happy Li Wanzhen and a few arrow guards.
"Brother Hanshui, if the dismissal of Tongbao Pavilion is over, will Elder Weng and the others really be allowed to retire in Lingxiu Villa?" Chu Nanfeng said: "Since you are willing to help Jungui, why not let them protect Jungui."
Luo Hanshui smiled indifferently, "Except Master Wu and I can control these characters, Mr. Hua only respects you most. Although it is related to Xiaoyao, we cannot tell them the truth and ask them to accompany the army or the palace, hehe
, everyone will be unwilling... My late father and I were able to recruit them to serve in Tongbao Pavilion because it was related to the affairs of Tongbao Pavilion regardless of the court and the world."
"On that day, these elders shared the same enemy with Kai and rushed into the Guard Mansion to seek revenge on Liu Gongwen. It was because Master Miao Valley could heal the wounds caused by my fist... This time, Elder Fu, it was you who came up with the word 'treasure' as if I were there in person.
He went out with the army because of the card, but after he returned, he left this pavilion on the grounds that I asked him to participate in the affairs of the court, so I had no reason to keep him."
Chu Nanfeng knew that although these people were respectful to him, they were actually the reason for the relationship between Luo Hanshui and him, but he thought that Elder Fu might have forced him to accompany Jiang Qiubai this time, and he smiled bitterly in his heart.
"Just like the martial arts uncle and Mr. Hua, although they are willing to help the emperor, if they are required to dedicate themselves to the army and the palace, it is impossible even if they think about it." Luo Hanshui paused and said with a smile: "Nanfeng, you should
Knowing their behavior, I think I have some plans when it comes to Elder Weng and the others now, why don't I tell them..."
Chu Nanfeng smiled and said, "At this moment, wisdom lies in the secret, and you are in the light. If we help you, we can only act in secret. In terms of martial arts, the one they are most afraid of is Master Mingwu, Mu
Senior and I. If the three of us hide behind the scenes, Zhiku will be afraid of everything he does, and if they force me and Mingwu to appear, they may often come to Jungui to cause trouble."
"But the people who want to come forward should be Long Congyun and Zhiguang, so I want Brother Hanshui to gather Director Fang, Elder Weng, Elder Tang and others who have Baodan cultivation in Bianjing, just in case...
To avoid being out of reach, I will also ask Master Wu and Hua to come and join them... How about that?"
"Haha, you are the only one who can convince Master Wu and Mr. Hua, Nanfeng." Luo Hanshui chuckled.
"My ancestors and they were frustrated by the court experiences they experienced, and the feelings of family and country in their hearts were even depressed. Now the kindness and ambition of the emperor have revived the feelings deep in their hearts. I am just blowing the wind."
Chu Nanfeng sighed: "In fact, they have never given up... Although they have used college rules to limit the students' ambitions for decades, their professors have also allowed the students to retain their sincerity."
Luo Hanshui pondered for a moment and said: "These elders are different. If I say that the court is just and righteous, it may be difficult to convince them... If I say that I have found the person who hurt me, avenging Elder Liang and Uncle Yang can allow them to fight with Long Congyun."
, Zhiguang Zhouxuan.
Things come to an end... Just follow what Nanfeng said, I will find a big house for people in Bianjing, and bring them together with Master Wu and Mr. Hua. With the strength of seven or eight people holding the elixir, we can finally do it.
Make them afraid."
Luo Hanshui paused for a moment, then sighed: "I just don't know how Xiaoyao will behave after that. Just like what the princess said, I'm afraid he will wander around... Alas, the young man's temperament and love are different from mine."
"Back then, I hid in the Taihuang Pond because of Xilan. You were afraid that I would be alone and hurt my mood, so you brought Xiaoyao to worship me as your teacher and let me escape from the trap.
Now Xiaoyao has decided to leave the academy to repay his love, but because you are trying so hard to find him, you persuade him and force him to hide in the academy, Lingxiu Villa or Moforget Island, which may hurt his mood...
It is said that disaster cannot be avoided, and he is a protector. If you think that it is difficult to go against the will of God, it cannot be changed by the power of you and me. If you force it, other accidents may happen again."
"Well, now that I think about it, Miss Mu Yun's trouble may be the beginning of Xiaoyao's tribulation as a Buddha..." Luo Hanshui said thoughtfully.
