It was nearly noon, but I heard a burst of laughter from the front yard, and saw Chang Shan, Meng Xiaohu, and Zhao Kuangyi walking into the courtyard well, followed closely by Luo Xiaoyao and Chang Qingqing, and behind them were Ma Xilan and Lin Wanzhen.
It turned out that Luo Xiaoyao, with Guo Rong's will, led Changshan and the others back to Bianjing. On the way to the branch courtyard, they met Ma Xilan and Lin Wanzhen, and they returned together in surprise.
After seeing the ceremony, Luo Hanshui asked Luo Xiaoyao why he came to Bianjing. When he learned that they participated in the Battle of Gaoping, he was surprised. When he also heard that Luo Xiaoyao had Guo Rong's order, Chu Nanfeng
The couple and Luo Hanshui were shocked.
Hearing this, Luo Hanshui and Chu Nanfeng looked at each other and said to Luo Xiaoyao: "Jungui asked Tongbao Pavilion to help find out that the officials colluded with the temple to sell the farmland privately?"
"The Emperor... also wants to ask my father to provide strong support in relieving the victims."
"My father has already made arrangements for the silver matter." Luo Hanshui turned to Chu Nanfeng and said with a bitter look on his face: "Nanfeng, what do you think about cooperating in the investigation of the private sale of farmland?"
Chu and Luo were still talking about Guo Rong's intention to destroy the Buddha in the past two days. At this time, Luo Xiaoyao made it clear that Guo Rong was not only looking for signs of investigating the Buddhist temple, but also wanted Tongbao Pavilion to help Luo Hanshui.
It is difficult to say that it is true.
"I don't think you will talk to Wang Pu about the need for Tongbao Pavilion's help in the compromise. We will talk about this later... Xiaoyao, you and your junior brother, Qingqing, go to Wang Pu's mansion and give him the secret before you come back.
Later, go to the study and ask your father about something."
Luo Xiaoyao did not hesitate, and led Meng Xiaohu and three others to the palace of Zhongshu Shilang through the arrow guards.
??
At Shenshi, in the study room of the other courtyard, Luo Hanshui said to Luo Xiaoyao: "As a father, I happened to meet Master Mingwu a few days ago. I heard that you met a Taoist priest when you were relieving people in Zhenzhou last year?"
Luo Xiaoyao thought he didn't expect Luo Hanshui to ask about this, so he looked a little surprised and nodded, "My child met a Taoist priest..."
"The Taoist priest told you his immortal number? What did he say to you that day?" Luo Hanshui said slowly.
"Taoist Master Tan never informed the child of the immortal number..." Luo Xiaoyao hesitated for a moment and looked at Chu Nanfeng, "He once said that he spent some time with his master in Taibai Mountain, and he also met his master when he was young..."
"My surname is Tan? Have you ever seen me?" Chu Nanfeng was stunned, suddenly remembered a person, and said in surprise: "It turned out to be him..."
"Nan Feng recognizes Taoist Tan?" Luo Hanshui was surprised for a moment.
"This Taoist priest, whose surname is Tan and whose name is Qiao, lived in Taibai Mountain for a period of time before his master established the academy. He was proficient in Huang Lao's art, and his cultivation level can be said to be unfathomable. At that time, he could live without food.
When I first found the Wushan Sword Sect, he was also cultivating in Wushan. The leader specially asked him to witness the martial arts competition, just to use his prestige to prove that he was fighting me according to the rules of the world. Fortunately, this was the case. I had to
He secretly helped and defeated the leader..."
Chu Nanfeng paused for a moment and looked at Luo Xiaoyao, "From what Master Mingwu said, you seem to have known Taoist Master Tan for a long time?"
"Yes. When the master asked his disciple to return to Taibai Academy that day, he met him on the way..." Luo Xiaoyao glanced at Chu and Luo, but they stopped talking.
"Hey, you have traveled around the world for a while...and then you start playing tricks with your father?" Luo Hanshui is such a person. When he saw Luo Xiaoyao's hesitation, he smiled and said, "I will tell you how I met him honestly..."
Luo Xiaoyao's face turned red, hesitated for a moment, nodded, and told the story one by one about how he met Gao Baorong, who was kidnapped, fought with a monk, and was rescued by Taoist Master Tan.
The more Chu Nanfeng and Luo Hanshui heard, the more shocked they became. They already understood that the people who kidnapped Gao Baorong were Zhiguang and Long Congyun. However, knowing that Luo Xiaoyao and Zhiguang had fought against each other, they were even more shocked.
Luo Hanshui's eyes narrowed and he said in a deep voice: "Why didn't you tell your father and your master about such a big event afterwards? Ah?"
Luo Xiaoyao thought that he had never seen such a stern tone from Luo Hanshui. He shouted for a moment, lowered his head with a red face and said: "I hope my father and master will forgive me. Immortal Tan has some instructions... It is said that this matter involves the grudges between Taoism and Buddhism, so the disciple
I dare not tell it in words."
Chu Nanfeng glanced at Luo Hanshui, who had a gentle expression, and nodded, "As a favored person, you should keep secrets, but my teacher and your father are not the ones you want to hide... So in Zhenzhou,
Why don't you tell anyone about it? Is it Taoist Tan who once again told you not to talk to others?"
Luo Xiaoyao's face turned redder and redder. He raised his head and glanced at Chu and Luo. They lowered their heads again and whispered: "Isn't that true?"
"Oh? Then why didn't you say..." Luo Hanshui said half of the words, but he also felt that it was funny, "Haha... are you afraid that after you say it, you won't be able to hide the encounter with Taoist Master Tan?"
Luo Xiaoyao nodded anxiously.
Chu and Luo both smiled bitterly for a moment, but they knew that Luo Xiaoyao was an honest nature and would never break a promise easily if he made a promise to others. And they themselves were also promise-keepers. If this matter had not been related to Luo Xiaoyao and Guo Rong's life and death,
, but it would not make it difficult for him. Chu Nanfeng sighed, "Let's talk about Zhenzhou slowly..."
"Yes. That day, the disciple met Taoist Master Tan in front of the soup kitchen. After seeing the ceremony, the Taoist Master asked the disciple...if the essence and blood in the body had reached the opportunity to condense the birth elixir, but knowing that he had cultivated it, the disciple was surprised.
, but also told the truth.
The Taoist Master also said that after the disciple entered Baodian Xiaocheng, the Qi that had been hidden with the help of others would reappear. He asked the disciple if he was willing to hide the Qi again... The disciple was very willing, so he asked the Taoist Master for advice.
.
At that time, the Taoist Master said that he had a unique qi-moving technique. When it was the opportunity to condense the fetal elixir, as long as you adjust your breath according to this technique, move the qi around the sky, and condense the qi in the elixir, you can
Make the Qi machine send and receive freely, conceal and manifest according to your thoughts.
Then he told the disciples the formula. After the disciples memorized it, the Taoist Master also explained something..."
"What's the matter?" Luo Hanshui said.
"The Taoist priest said that if there is a chance in the future, he should also strive to learn the four martial arts in the 'Five Tai Heart Sutra' except the 'Tai Chi Heart Sutra'..."
"Oh?" Chu Nanfeng took a breath, said silently for a moment, and nodded, "Master knows, please step back first..."
"Wait a minute, Taoist Tan, are you going to tell you his whereabouts?" Luo Hanshui asked urgently.
Before Luo Xiaoyao could answer, Chu Nanfeng continued: "As a cultivator, if he doesn't want to see you... but you can't find him, you must be destined to meet him. Brother Hanshui, don't bother."
Luo Hanshui was stunned, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, looking at Luo Xiaoyao, "Go ahead."
"Yes." Luo Xiaoyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly saluted Luo and Chu and left.
"It seems that Mr. Zhu is a member of Taoist Tan's family." Luo Hanshui looked at Chu Nanfeng, "Judging from his words when he questioned Zhiguang about stealing the 'Diyin Hui Shuo Sutra' from 'Wuliangguan', he should also know that Buddha
A matter of calamity."
"Yes." Chu Nanfeng nodded, "Even at that time, he had already figured out Xiaoyao's identity as a Taoist protector... It seems that this 'Pinglong Recognition' technique of looking at Qi can even see the leakage of Qi.
It's hard to compare with the "all-powerful" and "clairvoyance"."
"Oh?!" Luo Hanshui was surprised, but thinking that what Chu Nanfeng said was not impossible, he said: "Master Wenyi once said that if Xiaoyao's pulse gate is not held, forcing the energy in his body to fluctuate, the protection
Only the Qi of Tao can manifest. But as Nanfeng expected, this 'Ping Long Recognition' technique is unparalleled in the world..."
After a pause, he continued with a smile: "The unique mental method of Tan Daochang and Xiaoyao should also be 'Ping Long Recognition'. If so, even if Xiaoyao's pulse gate is blocked, the Tao-protecting energy in his body cannot be forced out.
,Okay, okay, haha..."
Chu Nanfeng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and did not answer.
Luo Hanshui, who was slightly excited, suddenly noticed something when he saw Chu Nanfeng's expression. He laughed, then shook his head and sighed, "Oh, the so-called care is chaos. When you talk about the bad, you think of the worst, and when you talk about the good,
...I am also thinking in a very good direction, I am really ashamed.”
However, for those who practice martial arts, if their veins are blocked, all the qi in the body will suddenly be pulled to resist, and the natal Danyuan is no exception. When the qi suddenly loses, it will cause the protector hidden in something.
Luo Hanshui is a master of martial arts, how could he not know this principle? As he said, with concern and talking about good things, he is thinking in the best direction.
Chu Nanfeng heard his self-deprecating words, smiled slightly, then looked solemn, and said: "Zhiguang and the others kidnapped King Yan of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and then kidnapped King Jingnan... It seems that they have a plan to exchange for the real dragon.
, this matter must be investigated clearly."
"How can you and I investigate the law if there is no one who knows the law? The two people were kidnapped more than a year ago. Your Majesty has ascended to the throne. In my opinion, their plan should be useless.
It works... not to mention that Taoist Tan should have some insight into the secrets. If the real dragon changes, he will not show up to teach Xiaoyao Kung Fu..."
Seeing that Chu Nanfeng was silent and did not answer, Luo Hanshui added: "In my opinion, how to find opportunities for Xiaoyao to learn the 'Five Heart Sutra' is the key..."
Chu Nanfeng nodded and said: "Well, what Brother Hanshui said makes sense. Xiaoyao has already practiced the 'Taichu' and 'Taisu' techniques. It is possible that the senior's 'Taishi Heart Sutra' technique can be used, but that's too
The Yi Xin Jing is difficult to learn..."
"You want Xiang Xiaotian to teach Luo Xiaoyao the 'Taishi Heart Sutra', but the martial arts of Dacheng are secrets that are not taught, let alone the profound knowledge of Xiang Xiaotian's sect... Even if you have a life-saving grace for her daughter, if you teach him
If you propose to teach the skills and freedom, it may be like asking for repayment..."
"For example, my ancestors and Master Wu jointly created the 'Hunyuan Kung Fu' and the 'Luoying Sword Technique' and passed them on to the students in the academy, but their own unique skills were only passed on to their favorite disciples. Except for me and
After learning Master Wu's 'Wuji Kung Fu', Zhenghua, Qiubai and the others did not learn the 'Taichu Heart Sutra' from their previous master..."
Chu Nanfeng paused, pondered for a moment, and then said: "This Taoist Tan's advice must be of great use. I will ask Xiaoyao to return to Moforget Island to see if he can form a fate with Mr. Ji..."
"Ji Jinghai?" Luo Hanshui hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "Although Mr. Ji is a very affectionate person, it is possible to give guidance to Xiaoyao, but if he wants to teach his master's secret knowledge, he may not be able to do it.
Make it difficult for him..."
"Yes." Chu Nanfeng nodded and said, "Mrs. Ji often brings his young master Ji Jinyu to the island these days. If Xiaoyao is allowed to pass on the 'Taizhu Heart Sutra' to his young master..."
"You mean to ask Xiaoyao to accept his son as his disciple?" Luo Hanshui asked doubtfully.
"If this is too much, if Xiaoyao accepts his son as his disciple, Mr. Ji can't also accept Xiaoyao as his disciple, right?"
Chu Nanfeng shook his head and smiled, "But if Xiaoyao does not follow the sect's taboos and passes on the 'Taizhu Heart Sutra' to Ji Jinyu, Mr. Ji may have felt that it is disrespectful to come back and not go back... Senior also loves this grandson, then Ji Jinyu
If Mr. Taishi taught the 'Taishi Heart Sutra' to Xiaoyao, I think he would have no objection."
Luo Hanshui thought thoughtfully, "Exchanging unique skills? This is feasible..."

In the Medicine King Valley, Miao Xiuzhu looked at the letter sent by Chang Qingqing in his hand and smiled at Huangfu Xiu: "Haha, Qing'er is blessed. She was granted the title of Princess Gaoping by the current emperor. She wants Ke Xue to accompany her this time.
Uncle Yuan, Shaowen, Yan Qiu and others are going to Bianjing together, what do you think, junior sister?"
Huangfuxiu looked melancholy, "Mr. Congjiang brought a lot of children to study medicine, and the valley became more popular. Now he has to leave all of a sudden. It's so deserted, but it's uncomfortable..."
"Kuang Yi, didn't you bring more than thirty soldiers?" Miao Xiuzhu said.
"These soldiers are all big and thick men. How can they compare to the innocence and liveliness of the previous group of children..." Huangfu Xiu sighed: "If Qing'er hadn't written to ask for it, I would not bother to work with the imperial court to make medicine.
Now they leave, but I don't know when they will come back to see you and me?"
"These children were originally sent by the imperial court to study medicine. Now that they have succeeded in their studies and the imperial court is at war, it is natural for them to go back and serve. As for Kexue and Qing'er... they are both girls and will grow up in the future.
, they all want to get married and become wives, and eventually leave. When you and I are old, we can visit you from time to time, and we will be satisfied that our love for nurturing her is not in vain."
"Qing'er knows that she is not your biological child, so she can marry and leave in the future. No one knows Kexue's life experience except Qing'e. I don't allow her to marry outside." Huangfu Xiu glared at Miao Xiuzhu.
Miao Xiuzhu smiled bitterly, "That's what I thought, but if all the children leave now, how can Kexue with his temper be willing to stay in the valley with peace of mind? Then someone will secretly go to Bianjing..."
"Sigh." Huangfuxiu sighed: "I'm just worried that she is very competitive. Everyone in the valley loves her and lets her do it. If she gets to Bianjing and she acts petty, no one will restrain her, or she will get into trouble...
"
Miao Xiuzhu frowned and spoke in silence for a while, then said after a long time: "She has reached the age of cardamom, and she will gradually understand many truths, and Qing'er has a gentle and kind temperament, and she gives Kexue three points in everything.
Qing'er also knows her temperament, so if I write her a letter asking her to go, I will let her go."
"And it may not be a bad thing for Kexue to see the sophistication of people outside. Staying in the valley will only encourage her princess temperament and make her ignorant of the limitations of the world..."
"You mean I spoiled her?" Huangfuxiu snorted, then smiled bitterly and said: "I treat her and Qing'er equally and have never been partial. Alas, I think it was just like what my father said that day, she was in her mother's womb.
I have a competitive spirit."
Miao Xiuzhu couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "Junior sister, you can't be too worried. Qing'er said that when Senior Fang resettles the refugees, he will resign as princess and return to the valley to live with you and me. Besides, you and I can also
Go visit often."
Huangfu Xiu nodded, "Qing'er is filial and does not live up to my love for her, so let Qing'e go with Kexue so that someone can restrain her."
"That's fine. Although Kexue was raised by the two of us, Qing'e took care of her from childhood to adulthood. If we say she cares about her, you and I may not be as good as Qing'e..."
"Then we will make arrangements later and let Kexue and the others set off in a day or two... If we are not in a hurry to refine the wound medicine, I would like to go to Bianjing with Kexue."
Miao Xiuzhu knew in her heart that she was thinking of Chang Qingqing, and smiled when she heard this, "I just separated from Qing'er for more than a month, and my junior sister misses her so much. Haha, I just said that it's okay for Qing'er to marry outside. I don't think Qing'er will be married in the future."
If you like someone, you will definitely find ways to recruit him to Yaowang Valley..."
Huangfu Xiu rolled his eyes at him and said with a smile, "Don't you think so?"
Miao Xiuzhu laughed loudly when he heard this, "I really hope that Qing'er and her husband will spend the rest of their lives together, haha..."
Uncle Yuan was overjoyed to learn that Chang Qingqing had been granted the title of princess, but when he heard that he was asked to go to Bianjing, he did not want to go to Bianjing. He said to Miao Xiuzhu: It is my honor for this old slave to follow Qingqing here. Mengxian Valley
The owner and the owner of the valley did not give up. It was a pleasure to be able to dry herbs and do some chores in the Yaowang Valley shop... It would not be a pleasure to go to the capital for leisure. She asked Kuang Yi to tell her that she could help Mr. Fang to improve the people's livelihood.
, just come back when you have time."
Miao Xiuzhu thought that Uncle Yuan was already old, and the quiet place of Yaowang Valley was suitable for him to take care of him in his old age. With all the children leaving, he would have to take care of the chores in the valley. Hearing this, he did not persuade him, "That's fine, but it's just that
Normally I would have to work harder on you."
Yuan Bo has managed the storage of herbal medicines for more than two years, but he also knows some pharmaceutical procedures. Now that Yan Qiu and others left, he has lost many helpers. After hearing this, he looked at the twenty or thirty people brought by Zhao Kuangyi
Bing Tu, "Don't worry, Valley Master. After a while, these soldiers will become familiar with each other, and the old slave will be at ease, haha..."
Two days later, in the early morning, Zhao Kuangyi, Miao Kexue, Yan Qiu and other nearly ten young men who had come to study medicine got on several carriages, took Marching Pills and Jin Chuangyao and left Yaowang Valley towards Kaifeng.
It was getting late when we arrived in Xuzhou that day, but there was still nearly three hundred miles to go before leaving Feng, so everyone found an inn to stay in Xuzhou City.
Thinking that they were tired from the long journey, all the teenagers went back to their rooms to rest after dinner. At Haishi, Zhao Kuangyi, who was already asleep, vaguely felt that someone was standing in front of the bed. When he opened his sleepy eyes and looked around, he felt that there was someone standing in front of his bed.
The flower just fell asleep.
When I woke up, I found myself in a cave. The cave was more than three feet high. There were many rock peaks of different shapes hanging upside down from the top of the cave. It was surrounded by rock walls, but there was no cave entrance. Only the cave entrance was visible.
There was more than ten feet of space in front of the east rock wall, and the moonlight shone from top to bottom. Zhao Kuangyi guessed that the entrance to the cave should be from top to bottom of the east rock wall.
To the west is a pool that is ten feet long and surrounded by walls on three sides from south to north. In the middle, there is a cloud-shaped, white-lighting gas that separates the pool. It is two feet long and three feet wide.
The clouds surged slowly as if blown by the wind, but they remained solid, as if frozen in the middle of the pool.
Zhao Kuangyi was suspicious of his dream. He sat up straight, rubbed his eyes, and turned to look back. He found two old monks with white eyebrows and skinny faces sitting meditating behind him. He quickly stood up and said in surprise: "This, this
Where is it? Why were you brought here..."
"Amitabha." The old monk sitting on the left said, "Don't panic, little layman. The old monk found that the little layman had a noble aura, which seemed to match the auspiciousness of the twin dragon ponds, so he brought the young layman here.
Good, good."
Zhao Kuangyi suddenly remembered that when he was having dinner in the inn hall, he vaguely saw a monk walking past the inn, but he did not see the monk's face clearly. He then guessed that the passing monk was the person talking to him.
But after hearing what the monk said about the noble aura in his body that matched the auspicious aura of the Double Dragon Pond, Zhao Kuangyi was surprised. He subconsciously touched his body with his hands and looked up at the clouds in the pond that were more than two feet away.
, with a confused look on his face.
"Good, good." The old monk on the right stood up, "Little layman, please follow the old monk and take a look..."
Zhao Kuangyi took two steps back in suspicion, calmed down, and followed the old monk to the edge of the pool. He suddenly realized that the pool was empty, and the bottom of the pool was also white, with a faint light coming out.
The old monk looked at Zhao Kuangyi, his sleepy eyes flashed, and he smiled, "Little layman, please stretch your right hand into the pool..."
Zhao Kuangyi looked at his right palm and then at the old monk. After a slight hesitation, he straightened his hand. Suddenly he felt an itch on his index finger. A drop of blood dripped from the tip of his index finger and fell to the bottom of the pool like jade.
Above, it turned into a wisp of blue smoke, quickly drifting towards the clouds in the middle, and instantly merged into it.
Zhao Kuangyi was greatly surprised. He retracted his outstretched right arm, looked at his index finger, and looked at the old monk, "This...why is this?"
"Junior Brother Zhiguang's expectation is correct. The nobility of the little layman really matches the auspiciousness of the twin dragon ponds." The old monk's eyes lit up.
It turned out that these two monks were Zhiku and Zhiguang.
"Nobility? Auspiciousness?" Zhao Kuangyi's curiosity suppressed his fear.
"The so-called nobility is the air of an emperor, general, and prime minister." Zhiku looked at Zhao Kuangyi's surprised eyes and said with a smile: "And your nobility, little layman, is the air of a prince. It is destined to be prosperous and wealthy in the future, but it is hard to say for future generations.
Already."
Zhao Kuangyi was now nearly sixteen years old, and he came from a noble family. He was also very particular about the fate of prosperity and wealth. Hearing this, he was surprised and asked: "Why is this?"
I saw Zhiku's right hand flicking up and down, and a drop of blood flew out from his hand and fell to the bottom of the pool. It also turned into a wisp of smoke, but it rose straight up and disappeared into nothing in an instant.
"The nobility in the young layman's body is like the green smoke that has just melted away. When the glory and destiny are exhausted, it will disappear. If you accumulate virtue in this world, you will leave some blessings to future generations. If you do evil, you will leave yourself or your descendants' blessings.
Eliminate."
"Then...then why did my smoke-changing blood energy merge into the clouds just now," Zhao Kuangyi said, pointing to the clouds in the pond.
"This double dragon pond is where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathers. It is the spiritual blessed place sought by Feng Shui masters. Ordinary people's ancestral mausoleums or residences, if it is not a spiritual blessed place, even if they have temporary nobility and blessings, it will be difficult to benefit their descendants.
Descendants."
"Just like the little layman is like now, without the blessing of the twin dragon ponds, the noble fortune and blessings in his body will only last a lifetime. If he does evil in daily life, his blessings will be reduced..." Zhi
He said in a slow voice.
Zhao Kuangyi listened thoughtfully and glanced at the clouds in the pool, "The purpose of the master bringing me here is to test whether the destiny of this Shuanglong Pool is consistent with mine. Then... how can I make this destiny work for me?"
Gain?"
Zhiku saw that he had no fear now, and his expression showed a calmness that was not suitable for his age. He nodded as if in approval, "Can the young layman tell the old monk the origin of his departure and where is his residence?"
Zhao Kuangyi heard that his answer was wrong and asked him about his origins. He thought he had a purpose. After thinking for a while, he said: "My son, Zhao Kuangyi, my father is the commander of the First Army of the Great Zhou Cavalry. His residence is in the east of Bianjing City..."
"It's good, it's good. There are rare people in the world who are as noble as the little layman. There are also a few people who can match the destiny of this Shuanglong Pond. However, the name of this pond is Shuanglong Pond. It is not a blessing of nobility and good fortune.
A person can bear its weight."
Zhao Kuangyi seemed to understand what Zhiku meant, his eyes flashed for a moment, but he stopped talking.
"When the young layman comes here this time, please don't tell anyone about it. If you don't keep things secret, disaster will come." Zhiku glanced at him, smiled, and then whispered: "Congyun..."
But I saw a burly man floating down from the moonlit clearing on the east rock wall, it was Long Congyun.
Long Congyun glanced at Zhao Kuangyi, saluted Xiang Zhi and said: "Disciple, please listen to Master's decree."
"Send the little layman back to Xuzhou Inn, and don't disturb others."
Long Congyun nodded, and suddenly flicked his right hand towards Zhao Kuangyi, and in a flash, he picked up Zhao Kuangyi, who was about to fall asleep, and jumped up from the east rock wall, disappearing in an instant.
Zhiku looked at Zhiguang who was sitting on the ground meditating, "This boy is young and calm in the face of shock. He is quite a figure. If there are brothers in his family who are also noble, then there is no need to bother looking for others. It is still troublesome for Junior Brother
You go to Bianjing and find out about his family..."
