One night four days later, after Gan Shaolong waited for the two children to fall asleep, he leaned against the wall of the kang, his mind fluctuating, thinking that the beggar surnamed Jiang had almost arrived at Yaowang Valley. In three or four days, someone from Yaowang Valley would come here.
It doesn't matter what the Miao Valley Master does with him at that time, but he doesn't know his true identity, Fang Changsheng. Feeling ashamed in his heart, he gets up from the kang and goes to Fang Changsheng's room.
There was a beggar in the room who gave Fang Changsheng the medicine and drank it. When he saw Gan Shaolong come in, he said hello and left. Gan Shaolong smiled at Fang Changsheng who was sitting on the pit and said: "Take another dose tomorrow, brother, you don't have to drink anymore.
You can recover after another five or six days of rest."
Fang Changsheng smiled and said: "Haha, the injury has never been this serious. After lying down for three or four days, I can finally sit up."
Gan Shaolong nodded and hesitated, "Brother Fang, I have something I want to tell you. Actually..."
Fang Changsheng saw that he was about to speak but hesitated, so he said: "Brother Long, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Gan Shaolong originally wanted to tell the story about stealing the "Hundred Insects and Poison Scripture" from Yaowang Valley, but in the end he did not have the courage to speak out, so he sighed: "Brother, I have deceived Brother Fang about something... My surname is not Long, my surname is Long.
I would like to call you Shaolong."
Fang Changsheng was startled when he heard this, "Brother Long, I have never asked you about your past in the past few years. As a beggar, I have little knowledge and don't know what benevolence and righteousness are, but Brother Long is a benevolent and righteous person in my heart."
Man, no matter what your last name is, you are all good brothers of my Fang."
Gan Shaolong sighed, nodded and said: "Okay, Brother Fang, when you recover, let us have a few bowls of it."
Fang Changsheng smiled and nodded. At this time, the sound of "dong-dong-dong" came from outside, and Gan Shaolong said: "It's the middle of the night. Brother, have a good rest. We'll talk tomorrow."
After saying that, he blew out the oil lamp and exited the room, closed the door, turned around and saw a man in black standing on the roof to the east. He was not masked, but it was Liu Gongwen.
It turned out that Liu Gongwen was injured that day and escaped into the deep forest, and found a place to force out the poison. He was a master of poison, and with his cultivation in the spiritual realm, he recovered his skills after an hour.
But he couldn't figure out how these beggars discovered his whereabouts.
After he kidnapped Miao Kexue in Yaowang Valley, he rode his horse straight to Fangzhou, changed into a carriage from Youzhou, and then drove slowly along the official road. Miao Xiuzhu and his wife only expected that he would drive in a hurry.
Instead, he rushed in front of him.
However, Miao Kexue kept crying. Liu Gongwen had no choice but to touch her sleeping point and let Miao Kexue wake up every time she ate. Who knew that she would cry as soon as she woke up and would not eat?
Liu Gongwen was worried that she would starve, so he asked the men who drove the carriage to kidnap a peasant woman to look after Miao Kexue, and then coaxed her to sleep. When she cried, he used poisonous snakes to scare her, and he coaxed her to Xiangzhou.
Unexpectedly, Miao Kexue was kidnapped by Gan Shaolong and others. Thinking of Gan Shaolong telling his name, Liu Gongwen felt puzzled. He had been hiding in Youzhou for more than ten years. If he hadn't been for the "Hundred Insect Poison"
He left a book with Miao Changning to exchange the Poison Sutra for Miao Kexue in Youzhou. I am afraid no one will know his whereabouts.
After thinking about it, I guessed that these beggars should have noticed me because they were entrusted by Yaowang Valley. However, if the people from Yaowang Valley were in Xiangzhou City, they would have killed me along with the other beggars. I guessed that these beggars might not have noticed me before.
He sent Miao Kexue out, and as soon as the poisonous wound healed, he came to Xiangzhou City again.
He was very particular about his daily life. He found a good inn and stayed there. He bought some clothes and changed his clothes. He put on his curtain and hat and started to look out for beggars on the street. Unexpectedly, he didn't see any beggars on the street for two days.
Liu Gongwen was overjoyed to see the figure of a beggar. He expected that the little girl was still in Xiangzhou City. Today, several beggars finally appeared on the streets. In the evening, he caught a little beggar and asked about Gan.
The whereabouts of the two men.
But the beggar was stubborn and would not betray Gan and Fang. However, Liu Gongwen also let him go and then followed him secretly. With his cultivation skills, the little beggar didn't know that he was cautious when he came here.
When they were outside the courtyard, Liu Gongwen was beaten unconscious and thrown into the corner of the alley. When Liu Gongwen arrived at midnight, he went into the courtyard to investigate, but he met Gan Shaolong coming out of his room.
Then he sneered, jumped into the courtyard and said to Gan Shaolong: "You are no match for me. Hand over the little girl and I will leave."
Gan Shaolong was already determined to die. He just hoped to lure him away, but he jumped up on the roof, "If you want that little girl... just follow me."
Liu Gongwen would not be fooled, but he rushed directly to Fang Changsheng's room. The reason why Gan Shaolong jumped on the roof was not to trick Liu Gongwen away. He knew that his skills were short-sighted and wanted to use his condescension to attack the enemy, but he saw
Liu Gongwen moved his figure and struck down with a palm from the air. The wind from his palm was also fierce and domineering.
Liu Gongwen paused, turned around and raised his flute to strike Gan Shaolong's palm. Gan Shaolong did not change his move, but changed his palm to grasping. When he grabbed the flute, he suddenly felt a huge force coming from him. He almost wanted to let go, but he held back.
Feeling severe pain in his right arm, he grabbed the flute, used the momentum to spin in mid-air, and kicked Liu Gongwen in the back of the head with his left foot. Liu Gongwen did not expect that Gan Shaolong would exchange injuries for injuries as soon as he took action, so he had to let go and turn to the left
Retreat sideways.
When Gan Shaolong fell, he couldn't stand. He stumbled back a few steps and hit the wall of the west chamber. He couldn't hold the flute he grabbed, and his right arm was numb. At this time, all the beggars heard the sound and grabbed the flute.
As the door opened, a beggar raised a long knife and attacked. Liu Gongwen snorted coldly and waved his left hand. A silver sword flew out and attacked the beggar's face. "Ah, poisonous snake..." The beggar screamed and was already there.
Fell to the ground.
At this moment, Fang Changsheng pushed the door open and said coldly: "Hey, hey, I'm throwing myself into a trap..." He had only recovered 50% of his strength, knowing that the situation was dangerous, so he could only come out to scare people, hoping to intimidate him.
Yanagong Wenxindao Fang Changsheng had to lie in bed for half a month even if he didn't die. Seeing that he seemed uninjured, when he was surprised, he suddenly heard a girl's exclamation coming from the left wing. Without thinking, he went to the left wing
Rushing in, Gan Shaolong was already injured, so he couldn't stop him. When he chased him into the room, he heard a "wow, wah" sound, Liu Gongwen held a person in his hand, and broke through the roof. The tiles inside the house
Pieces of dust were flying.
Gan Shaolong didn't have time to think too much and jumped up, but felt a burst of energy like a huge wave coming from his head, so he had to fall down, retreated outside the house and jumped onto the roof. In just a few breaths, Liu Gongwen's figure was no longer visible, but Tingyuan
Chang Sheng from China exclaimed: "Brother Dragon..."
Gan Shaolong was startled and jumped into the courtyard. He saw Fang Changsheng running out of the left wing, "Qingqing was kidnapped by him."
Gan Shaolong was shocked and turned pale. He rushed into the room, passed through the misty dust, and came to the bed. Miao Kexue poked her head out from under the quilt, with a face full of terror. Gan Shaolong was so angry that he spurted out a mouthful of blood. He couldn't stand anymore.
Stop and stumble to the ground.
Liu Gongwen took the little girl but headed towards the west gate. He did not go through the north gate. He had already made a plan and decided to take a detour to Beihan after kidnapping Miao Kexue to prevent being chased on the way to Youzhou.
At this time, the city gate was closed. It was easy for him to get out of the city with his skills. He ran for more than ten miles, but he felt that the child he was holding under his arm was neither crying nor fussing. He felt strange. He stopped and took a closer look.
A girl about the same age as Miao Kexue couldn't help but be stunned: "Who are you?"
The kidnapped little girl was Chang Qingqing. She was biting her lip with tears in her eyes, but she didn't answer Liu Gongwen's question. Liu Gongwen was very surprised when he saw this. She was kidnapped in the middle of the night at such a young age.
Jie, however, neither cried nor made a fuss. He secretly praised the little girl for being so brave, and asked softly: "What's your name? Who are you with the beard?"
Chang Qingqing glanced at him and said, "He is my adoptive father." But she did not say her name.
"Where is the little girl named Miao?"
Chang Qingqing remained silent. Liu Gongwen's thoughts were racing at this time. He was thinking of taking Chang Qingqing into the city to find Gan Shaolong in exchange for Miao Kexue, but he was not sure whether Fang Changsheng had recovered. Four days had passed.
Damn it, people from the Yaowanggu Miao family may arrive soon. If they encounter them, it will be difficult to escape.
Seeing that Gan Shaolong risked his life to save Miao Kexue, he must have a close relationship with the Miao family of Yaowang Valley. Now that Gan Shaolong's daughter is in his hands, Miao Changning will definitely not ignore it. Now his whereabouts in Prince Yan's Mansion have been
It was revealed that the advantages of taking away Chang Qingqing outweighed the disadvantages. After some weighing, it was decided to take away Chang Qingqing, which could at least be used as a life-saving bargaining chip.

Taibai Mountain is said to be a sacred mountain transformed from the fall of the Taibai Venus. It has long and narrow ridges, towering peaks, and rugged rocks. The main peak, the Immortal Platform, is also called the Conferring God Platform. According to legend, Jiang Ziya set up an altar here to consecrate the gods during the Zhou Dynasty, and granted three hundred and sixty-six
Fifteen righteous gods. The mountains are covered with snow all year round, and the ice sculptures are made of nature. Even gods cannot do their best.
Taibai Academy is located in a valley south of the main peak of Baxiantai, surrounded by mountains and rivers. The academy is surrounded by lush pines and cypresses, and a small stream runs through it about a hundred feet away in front of the academy.
It was nearly September, and the weather in the mountains was getting colder, and the morning was even colder. In the front yard, there were more than 20 students of various sizes wearing blue shirts and practicing on horseback in the mist. Zhao Yinshan was sitting in a row house to the north.
On the bench in front of the dormitory, I watched the students practicing martial arts, and occasionally stepped forward to give pointers and corrections. At this time, a man came to me and leaned over and said: "Master Zhao, breakfast is ready."
Zhao Yinshan glanced at the incense burner next to him and saw that the incense on the burner was gradually burning out. He nodded, "Okay, I understand."
He walked to a tree not far away on the right, picked up the wooden mallet hanging on the branch, and struck the gong. When all the students heard the sound of the gong, they all gathered up and stood up.
Zhao Yinshan said to the students: "Everyone can go have breakfast."
After saying this, he looked at the entrance of the backyard, smiled and shook his head, then turned to the two children who were about thirteen or fourteen years old and said: "Shaowen, Yan Qiu, you two go to the kitchen and send breakfast to Master Wu in the backyard.
, Changshan and the others."
Directly north of the backyard is a row of tile-roofed houses that are more than ten feet high and nearly eight feet wide. In the middle is the main hall, with two wing rooms on the left and right. In front of the west, there are two rows of wooden houses separated by more than ten feet in front and back, which should be the dormitories for students.
To the east, there are several wooden houses of different sizes and distances, with flowers, plants and trees planted around the houses. In front of each house is a three-foot-wide stone road paved with bluestone, crisscrossing the front and back.
There is a pavilion built in front of several wooden houses on the east side of the courtyard. In the pavilion, there is an old man in his seventies with white hair and beard. Sitting next to him is a child of about ten years old. That child is Chang Shan.
This old man is Wu Wangbo, a reclusive master who was invited by Yi Wuwei more than thirty years ago. He calls himself the "wine man". Chang Shan asked Wu Wangbo: "Master, what are you talking about?"
What is it?"
"The five Tais are: Taiyi, Taichu, Taishi, Taisu, Taiji. Yin and Yang are not separated, vast and empty, without light and image, formless and nameless. It is the beginning of God without seeing Qi. This is Taiyi. It has name but no reality.
, although it has energy but no form, this is called Tai Beginning. However, Yin and Yang merge, mix into one, and form from one, although it has form but no substance, this is called Tai Beginning."
After a pause, looking at Chang Shan who was listening attentively, Wu Wangbo said again: "Taishi changes into shape, and shape has quality, but it has not yet become a body. It is the beginning of quality but not yet a body. This is called Taisu. Tao Yi becomes a body.
, divides yin and yang, gives rise to two rites, and then gives birth to three, and the three gives rise to all things, which is called Tai Chi."
Chang Shan thought for a while and asked again: "Master, what does "tai" mean?"
Wu Wangbo pondered for a while: "Let nothingness become full of spirit, gather supernatural power to transform Qi, gather enough Qi to form a shape, condense all forms to form a body, and naturally reach perfection. This is the meaning of Tai. I will pass on to you the "Wuji Kung Fu" from my teacher.
"Dharma" comes from all the principles of the five Tais. If you let it go, it will bridge the six unions, and if it is rolled up, it will be hidden in the heart. Keep yourself one, follow the trend and fight against the Tai. The Tai is natural, and there is no Tai in nature. This is the infinite. You must understand it carefully. "
Seeing Gong Shaowen and Yan Qiu coming at the entrance of the courtyard with breakfast, Wu Wangbo stopped and waited for Gong and Yan to put porridge and steamed buns on the stone table. Wu Wangbo asked: "Shaowen
Yeah, have your Master Hua and Xiaohu come back?"
Gong Shaowen hurriedly bowed and answered: "Back to Master Wu, Master Hua and Master Xiaohu... Uncle Master has just returned to the front yard from the back mountain."
"I know, you guys should go have a meal too."
At this time, an old man in his sixties, dressed in Confucian clothes, walked out from the house on the left side of the tiled house in the north. He had his head lowered, his left hand on his back, and his right hand stroking his long gray beard, as if he was thinking about something.
Wu Wangbo coughed twice, and the old man seemed to realize it. He looked up at the pavilion and walked over. Chang Shan quickly stood up and saluted: "Good morning, Mr. Jiang."
"Sit down, sit down, eat it while it's hot, otherwise it will get cold in a while." The old man's name was Jiang Wuya. He was a Hanlin scholar in the Later Tang Dynasty. He had some knowledge of martial arts, was knowledgeable, and was good at writing poetry.
Jiang Wuya took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Wu Wangbo. He smiled bitterly and said: "Jungui sent a message and wanted Qiubai to go to Chanzhou to help him. The mountain chief is not in the courtyard..."
Wu Wangbo read the contents of the letter and pondered for a moment, "It's not like you don't know the rules of the academy. This matter may be inappropriate. If you are talking about ordinary students, just go and go. Anyway, success or failure, good or bad, will not be connected to the academy, but
Qiu Bai is your son, this rebellion will be difficult to deal with, and Mr. Yi is missing, the mountain chief may be..."
It turns out that when Yi Wuwei founded Taibai Academy, he wanted to accept Chu Nanfeng as his disciple to pass on martial arts. He agreed to Chu Nanfeng's parents and went out to find two fellow literati who had worked under Huang Chao's tent and were well-read in the classics.
An academy was built in Baishan, which mostly focused on studying Chinese literature. Occasionally, it also taught students some ordinary martial arts to strengthen the body.
Two or three years later, some students saw that Chu Nanfeng could fly over eaves and walk over walls, so they were willing to ask Yi Wuwei for help. Yi Wuwei was about to break through to the Dan Bao realm, but had no time to teach. Unable to bear the students' entreaties, Yi Wuwei went out to seek help from the students.
Wu Wangbo, Hua Qianxing, and Jiang Wuya, who had retired to seclusion, came to the academy.
Wu and Hua arrived at the academy and went through a selection process. Wu Wangbo accepted Jiang Qiubai and Min Zhenghua as his apprentices, and Hua Qianxing accepted Min Xingwu as his apprentice. The other students were only taught some basic physical fitness skills.
As a result, some of the disciples who came to study in both civil and martial arts dropped out of school one after another. When Yi Wuwei left seclusion half a year later, there were actually very few students left in the academy.
Yi Wuwei didn't care, but he felt that the academy was built with money and efforts from nearby villagers, so he couldn't close the academy. So Yi Wuwei discussed with Wu and Hua, and spent two months creating a set of "Hunyuan Kung Fu"
"Fa" and "Luoying Sword Technique" are used to teach students who come to Taibai Academy to study.
The three of them are all masters of martial arts, and the techniques they created are naturally extraordinary. Gradually, more and more students came to the school. During this period, Wu Wangbo accepted Zhao Yinshan as his disciple. Many of these students who came to the academy to study were also very talented.
When people who have completed their studies leave the academy and return home, Yi Wuwei sets a rule and warns these students that Yandao Taibai Academy is not a martial arts sect. In the future, students may walk in the world or enter official careers, and they cannot be said to be teachers.
After leaving Taibai Academy, everything you do outside has nothing to do with Taibai Academy, and several direct disciples are not allowed to leave the academy to enter officialdom.
This is tantamount to pouring cold water on the students. In addition, the two invited Confucian scribes and Jiang Wuya are both well-read and arrogant people. They were discouraged after being frustrated in their official career, which will inevitably instill in the students.
Because of the negative thoughts of seclusion, most accomplished disciples have many scruples and are unable to display their ambitions and passions.
When Yi Wuwei traveled abroad and took over the academy in Chu Nanfeng, the rules never changed for decades. Just as Wu Wangbo said, after other students returned from their studies, they either entered official careers or traveled around the world, as long as they were not involved.
The academy has no right to interfere, but as a direct disciple of Jiang Qiubai Academy, he also has the responsibility of teaching students, so Chu Nanfeng may not break the rules.
Wu Wangbo looked at Jiang Wuya, who was silent and didn't answer, and smiled: "When did Brother Jiang get the whim and want Qiubai to become an official?"
Jiang Wuya stroked his long beard and sighed: "Qiubai is my son and also your disciple, Brother Wu. Can't you see his character? If you listen to his usual words of teaching and students, how can we inherit our
The ideas of these old guys are all about asking students to protect their families and the country..."
"Hehe." Wu Wangbo smiled and said: "You and I were not like this when we were young? But what happened? In the past thirty years, how many dynasties have changed in the Central Plains? Liang, Tang, Jin, Han, and now the Zhou Dynasty
...More than a dozen emperors passed by in a hurry, and dynasties were established in the north and south of the country."
"Qiu Bai said that students should protect their families and the country. The students in the academy are from the Southern Tang, Jingnan, Shu, and Northern Han. Do you want them to kill each other? Is the Central Plains the country? Or is it the Southern Tang or the Northern Han? Brother Jiang
Which student do you think is going to protect the country?"
Jiang Wuya was stunned for a moment, silent for a moment, and said: "The current emperor of the Central Plains divides the land among the people, eliminates cattle rent, and reduces harsh taxes. He is a good emperor, not the stupid emperor we met back then. And the emperor came from the academy, and his character
Rende, Brother Wu, you also know that with his talents, he can at least protect the people, right? Let Qiubai accompany him to help, or he can realize the ambitions that you and I cannot fulfill."
"Although Mr. Yi is said to be a recluse, was the original intention of building this academy really just to recruit the mountain master as his disciple? When there are many students in the academy, why did he worry about it and look for you and me to come? And if you and I are truly reclusive,
Come to this Taibai Academy? Why bother worrying about these students all day long..."
Seeing Wu Wangbo's silence, Jiang Wuya paused for a moment, "In my opinion, the reason why Mr. Yi is hiding on the Immortal Platform is not because of his martial arts skills, but because he is also conflicted in his own heart. This rule is based on you and me.
It depends on the mood of a generation, Mr. Yi may be the leader of Hope Mountain, Qiu Bai, and someone in Zhenghua’s generation broke this rule.”
Wu Wangbo was shocked, looked at Jiang Wuya for a long time, and sighed, "Then when the mountain chief comes back, you can give him the letter. If he wants to ask you and me for my opinion, then see if you can persuade him to let Qiu
There is nothing wrong with joining the officialdom, but Brother Jiang had better not mention anything about encouraging students to join the officialdom. Brother, I am the first to oppose it."
Jiang Wuya was startled, and then heard Wu Wangbo say: "When the time comes, each student will return to his own country to become an official, and someday he may kill each other for the so-called defense of the family and country, fame and wealth..."
Jiang Wuya sighed, "I have also thought about what Brother Wu is worried about, hey..."
At this time, Zhao Yinshan hurriedly walked over and saluted Wu and Jiang, "Master, Mr. Jiang, there is an old man outside who claims to be the master of the Yaowang Valley and asks to see the mountain leader. The disciple told him that the mountain leader has not returned from outing, so he
I asked to see Senior Yi."
"Oh? Invite him in." Wu Wangbo looked surprised and turned to Chang Shan: "Chang Shan, after dinner, go to the front yard to study."
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the main hall with Jiang Wuya. After a while, they saw Zhao Yinshan leading an old man with a thin face and three strands of beard. The old man looked at Wu. Jiang and Jiang took one look and said, "See you, old man Miao Changning."
There are two seniors... I wonder which one is Senior Yi?"
Wu Wangbo originally thought that the visitor was acquainted with Yi Wuwei, but he frowned when he heard this, "Old Wu Wangbo, Mr. Yi is out traveling. I wonder why Master Miao Valley wants to see Mr. Yi?"
Miao Changning looked disappointed and hesitated for a moment: "I wonder if you two seniors know about Master Chu's trip to Wushan more than ten years ago?"
Wu and Jiang looked at each other, Wu Wangbo nodded and said: "I know a little bit, but I wonder what this matter has to do with Master Miao Valley?"
"I once had a bad disciple who had been missing for more than ten years. He suddenly showed up again and kidnapped Miao's granddaughter. He asked Miao to go to Prince Yan's Mansion in Youzhou a month later and exchange him for a book from the sect." Miao Changning pondered.
Said: "This matter has nothing to do with Hero Chu, but this scoundrel has a lot to do with the murder of Hero Chu's lover more than ten years ago. Therefore, Miao came to tell me that since Hero Chu has not returned, please
The two seniors told me that I have something urgent to do, so I will leave first."
Seeing that he was in a hurry, Wu Wangbo hesitated and said, "Okay, I will definitely tell Yinshan to send the Master of Miao Valley on his behalf."
Wu and Jiang only knew that it was someone from the Wushan sect who killed Chu Nanfeng's lover, Ma Xilan, but they didn't know that it was related to Yaowang Valley.
Wu Wangbo glanced at Jiang Wuya and muttered: "Although Master Miao Valley wanted to ask for help, according to what he said, it was not only the concubine of the King of Chu who framed Princess Ma that day, Yaowang Valley... understand
Well, that poison must have come from Yaowang Valley, and it seems that his scoundrels are also the culprits. How about I go out to the mountain? Well, Brother Jiang, what do you think?"
"The one-month appointment is still early, and the mountain chief may return in a day or two. But what kind of scoundrel does the Miao Valley Master call him? I'm afraid only the Miao Valley Master and the mountain chief can recognize it."
Wu Wangbo thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll ask Yin Shan to go to the village and take a look. Maybe the mountain chief has returned to his father's house."
Hearing this, Ji Wuya smiled and said, "No way. If the mountain chief comes back to visit Mr. Chu first, the children from the village who come to study during the day will definitely know..."
