Jiang Qiubai, who was saying goodbye to Chu Nanfeng and his wife, escorted Guo Rong to the inner palace gate. He was about to leave and say goodbye, but was taken to the imperial study by Guo Rong.
"Uncle Master, have you ever thought about it... Uncle Luo knows where the tomb is, how did those monks know about it?"
Jiang Qiubai smiled bitterly in his heart. He had also thought about this, but after Shang You died, the only people in the world who would know about it were Guo Rong, Chu Nanfeng and his wife, Zhao Yinshan, Luo Hanshui and himself. If Guo Rong took this
When he asked about the doubts, he was very disrespectful to Chu Nanfeng, his wife and Zhao Yinshan.
Seeing that Jiang Qiubai hesitated to answer, Guo Rong added: "With Uncle Chu's wisdom, it is impossible that he would not have thought of this. The reason why he skipped this point and did not talk about it is that he must have some scruples in his heart."
"The emperor's intention..."
"Except for the two masters Wu and Hua, the only one who could make Master Zhao and Shang You tell the truth about the burial... was Master Chu. And Master Luo happened to be present that day, and Master Zhao and Shang You knew that he and Master Chu
We are close friends in life and death, and we have nothing to talk about. That's why after Master Chu's inquiry, I will present the handwritten letter you left to me for viewing."
Jiang Qiubai nodded. In the letter he left that day, he also ordered that the burial be carried out. Only Wu, Hua and Chu could tell each other after they met.
"When I was preparing to go on a personal expedition, the monk had already arrested the prisoner and was inquiring about the burial tomb of the late emperor. After you follow me to annihilate Liu Ni, you will probably be keeping an eye on it secretly. As for the burial tombs of Master Zhao and Shang You,
After that, I returned to Kaifeng and settled in Qingqing Mansion..."
"How could they know where Junior Brother Zhao and Shang You were in Kaifeng? And even if they noticed Junior Brother Zhao at that time, they would not have taken action against Senior Brother Xunluo..."
"As I expected, it must be those monks who are asking people to investigate..."
Jiang Qiubai was stunned and asked suspiciously: "The emperor means that some of the academy disciples will pay attention to this matter?"
"It is absolutely impossible for the students of the academy to have evil intentions, and they will not know about the burial tomb... I think someone knows about my relationship with the academy and guesses that if I have something important, I will secretly entrust someone from the academy to do it...
…”
Before Guo Rong finished speaking, Jiang Qiubai was horrified, "Did the emperor say that someone in the court conspired with the monk?"
"Nowadays, most of the students serve in the Imperial Guards such as Shenhu Camp. If you can review the people who come and go in Qingqing Mansion from their mouths, they must be the leaders who are close to them... I think Uncle Chu also guessed that this is
I was worried that I might be suspicious of my subordinates, so I didn’t mention it here..."
"However, the matter of burial tombs is also neglected elsewhere..." Guo Rong showed a wry smile, paused and then said: Although the ancestors are far away, they have to pay respects. The late emperor's crown and robes and other tombs were not included in the ancestral temple because of the important matter.
But every year on the day when these robes are buried, I go to the Ancestral Temple to offer incense. Even though I only offer sacrifices to the deceased emperor’s soul, several times a year still arouses suspicion.”
"There is my secret edict in Zongzheng Temple... It seems that I will take it back and destroy it tomorrow."
Looking at Jiang Qiubai's surprised face, Guo Rong sighed: "As for the tomb of Emperor Taizu, future generations will pay homage to it. At this time, because the matter is so important, the location of the tomb has not been recorded, so I will save it first."
Zongzheng Temple..."
Jiang Qiubai was shocked, "How could the emperor think like this? In eight years, he will be able to enter the business openly..."
But knowing that as long as the Guan Tomb is not destroyed within ten years, the dragon veins of Qinglong Mountain will be safe. It has been two years now, and Guo Rong is in his prime, so he issued a secret edict to preserve it in case of unexpected events. What about Jiang Qiubai?
Not surprised.
"Destiny has a long life, even the emperor is no exception... Guo Rong shook his head and smiled, and said softly: "The person who buried the crown tomb in Kaifeng was sent by Feng Yuanlao. Although he didn't know that there were three more crown tombs, if
This person is at fault, and with the magical powers of those monks, they may be able to lead them to clues..."
Jiang Qiubai nodded. Although the Kaifeng crown tomb would not be lost within three months and would have no impact on the other three places, he would have to be careful if he tried to master the art of Kanyu. He might find a flaw.
, Hearing this, he said: "Does Your Majesty know who Taishi Feng sent?"
"That day when the prisoner was missing, I was afraid that the tomb was missing, so I summoned Elder Feng to the palace... because I wanted to be his close confidant, not a person who was greedy for life and fearful of death and betrayed others for glory. I knew that Elder Feng knew how to make good use of people.
It was useless to ask for that person's identity, but I didn't ask him."
Now Feng Dao is dead and there is no way to ask questions. Jiang Qiubai hesitated for a moment and said, "The monk can read people's memories, so I have to be on guard. I will put some effort into checking..."
"Feng Yuanlao once said that that person... with his position as the captain of the Yimen Mountain Granary Camp, infiltrated into the granary and secretly buried the crown tomb. Uncle Master can start from here to find this person... Look at him now
What is his identity? If possible, send him to Taibai Academy with Master Zhao."
Jiang Qiubai knew that he was unwilling to commit murder and silence, and it was the best arrangement to send him to Taibai Academy, so he nodded and accepted the order.
"Uncle Chu may know more about the matter, but it's a pity that I didn't dare to ask him. He was worried that I would be suspicious of my subordinates... Then I will continue as usual and use people how I want to..."
After a pause, he looked at Jiang Qiubai and said with a smile: "But Uncle Master, please keep an eye on me secretly. If you have any doubts...you don't have to tell me, you can tell Uncle Chu how to deal with it...it will be up to Master Chu."
Uncle and Master will make their own decisions."
Guo Rong's arrangement showed his trust and respect for Chu Nanfeng and Jiang Qiubai. Jiang Qiubai admired his broad mind and was moved, "I should investigate this matter carefully and think that the emperor will share his worries."
***
Luo Xiaoyao and Xiao Muyun followed Mo Bushan to Lin Yi's residence. They thought it was because Mo Bushan often came to Lin Yi's residence and was very familiar with the servants at the door. As soon as they arrived at the door, they smiled at one of the servants and said: "Lin
Daye, go and tell your master... Mr. Luo and Miss Xiao from Taibai Academy are visiting."
The servant took a look at Luo and Xiao, bowed his hands and bowed, then turned around and walked quickly into the courtyard. After a while, he saw Lin Yi stepping out to greet Luo and Xiao.
A clear and sweet call came to me, "Daddy..."
Luo Xiaoyao and Xiao Muyun heard the sound and ran away, only to see a smiling woman running toward the intersection six or seven feet away. They looked at each other and were shocked.
It turned out that the appearance of the woman who appeared was the same as that of Lin Wanzhen. Except for her cheeks, which were slightly fleshy, the rest were the same. Luo and Xiao were shocked and confused. Lin Yi strode towards the woman and held the woman with one hand.
Luo Xiaoyao and Xiao Muyun stood in front of each other and said with a smile: "This is your sister Wanzhen's senior brother Luo, senior sister Xiao, please bow quickly and meet me..."
The woman was startled and happy when she heard this, and she greeted them as a courtesy, "Wanqing has met Senior Brother Luo, met Senior Sister Xiao..."
Looking at Luo Xiaoyao, who was surprised when he returned the gift, Lin Yi laughed loudly, "Mr. Luo, Miss Xiao, please sit down in the hall first..."
When he sat down in the hall, Lin Yi glanced at Lin Wanqing who was standing beside him, smiled at Luo and Xiao, and said: "Wanzhen and Wanqing are twin sisters. My wife is a bit particular. When they were one month old, please
An alchemist came to look at her sister's fortune. Unexpectedly, the gentleman said that the two of them had conflicts and had to separate, so he placed Wanqing in her brother-in-law's home..."
"Wanzhen went to the academy to study and rarely came back. My wife and I missed each other from time to time, so I brought Wanqing back to get along with me. When Wanzhen came back last year, I saw what she had learned, haha... Wanqing said I was unfair.
, I have been pestering myself to go to the academy to learn arts, but it gives me a headache, haha..."
Glancing at Lin Wanqing, who had a shy face and had already mastered Gu Yuan's skills, Luo Xiaoyao and Xiao Muyun looked at each other and smiled, and sighed at the tricks of fate. Lin Yiruo sent Lin Wanzhen away at the beginning, but now Lin Wanqing in front of them has become theirs.
Junior sister.
"Today Mr. Luo and Miss Xiao came to visit the humble residence, which really made Lin very happy..." Lin Yi paused for a moment and then asked, "Why didn't Wan Zhen come with me?"
"My junior sister and I have important matters to go north to. We need to consult Mr. Mo on some matters, so we decided to come to Jiangling when we were in prison. However, we were afraid that junior sister Wanzhen would blame us in the future, so we came with junior sister Xiao to visit Uncle and Aunt Lin..."
Luo Xiaoyao's words were true. If it weren't for Lin Wanzhen's fault, he and Xiao Muyun would not have paid a visit. Although they had an old relationship with Lin Yi, it was not rude to wait for them on Wolong Island. And Lin Wanzhen was a senior brother and sister.
, Lin Yi was now known as his uncle.
Mo Bushan answered and explained Luo Xiaoyao's intention. Lin Yizhi also knew about Gao Baorong's abduction. He was shocked when he heard this, "I heard that those two people are very skilled. That man alone is no match for Mr. Feng... I don't know what that means."
What's the problem between the two of you and Mr. Luo?"
"Uncle Lin must have heard about my father's injury that year. These two people are closely related to my father's injury, so I want to find out."
Lin Yi also knew about Luo Xiaoyao's visit to Jingnan to seek medical treatment for his father. Hearing this, he and Mo Busan looked at each other and nodded. However, knowing that their father's hatred was irreconcilable, Lin Yi withdrew his intention to dissuade him, "
But do you need our help? As long as the young master is willing, I will ask the prince for orders and lead the people to accompany the young master..."
"Uncle Lin took it in kindly. I am just following some clues here to find out. We may not be able to find their traces." Luo Xiaoyao said: "The family teachers are also searching separately...Uncle Lin doesn't need to worry."
Lin Yi, Mo Busan had never met Chu Nanfeng. He thought he heard about Chu Nanfeng's power from Lin Wanzhen's mouth. Hearing this, everyone's face was happy. Lin Yi said with a smile: "It makes me happy to say so."
I thought about it, haha..."
After a while of greetings, everyone went to the Jingnan Prince's Mansion for a banquet. After the banquet, Luo and Xiao followed Mo Busan to Wolong Island. They stayed on the island for a day, but it was easy to change.
After learning the facial expression technique, he left with the mask Mo Bushan had made and left.
The journey was non-stop. Three days later, Shen Shi arrived at Youzhou Left-behind Mansion. Overjoyed, Xiao Siwen welcomed Luo and Xiao into the hall. After greeting them and sitting down, they looked at Xiao Muyun, "You returned to Yunzhou, but you didn't come to Youzhou...
...Do you think you have me as a brother in your eyes?"
Xiao Muyun looked ashamed, "It's Mu Yun's fault. I hope brother will forgive me..."
Looking at the submissive demeanor of his younger sister who had been competing with him since childhood, Xiao Siwen, who had no intention of blaming her, softened his heart. Hearing that she was addressing her as elder brother, he suddenly remembered that this younger sister was already a famous woman and had her husband. He smiled and said
: "I heard Master Zhuo come back and say that you and Brother Luo Xian left the villa to go to Taibai Academy... Hehe, I don't think so? But kill the evil woman named Zhuo?"
However, Xiao Siwen guessed that Xiao Muyun and Luo Xiaoyao were going to Prince Xing's Mansion to seek revenge on Zhuo Qinglian. Xiao Muyun and Luo Xiaoyao smiled at each other and nodded.
"Haha, I guess you two are eager to seek revenge and leave. If not, you would not come to Youzhou to visit me." Xiao Siwen paused for a moment and then said: "After taking revenge, you did not return to the academy...just came to see me.
Me?"
Luo and Xiao were stunned and realized something. Xiao Muyun said: "But there is someone at the villa looking for you..."
It took her and Luo Xiaoyao seven days from leaving Moforget Island to Jiangling and then to Youzhou. And Xiao Muyun deliberately left clues about Long Congyun and Chu Nanfeng. If Chu Nanfeng had found Mingyue Villa, it would have taken three days.
That's enough.
"A servant came to the villa at noon today and left a message saying that if you and brother Luo Xian come here, tell you to transfer to the villa... I guess you two came directly from Prince Xing's Mansion to visit me after your revenge, haha..."
Luo Xiaoyao knew that it was Chu Nanfeng who guessed that he would go north to find Ma Xingkong or Master Jiejue to inquire about the matter, so he sent a message to the people of Mingyue Villa to come to Xiao Siwen's house to inquire about it. He couldn't help but smile bitterly for a moment.
Xiao Muyun felt very strange in her heart. She understood the sorrow and hatred in Luo Xiaoyao's heart, so she left the island with him. However, she was also worried that he would be motivated, so she secretly revealed the whereabouts of the two of them to Xu Wenxiang, but she thought that Chu Nanfeng would come.
It is a land of dark clouds, and even if Mu Daocheng has not left the border, he should not just send a servant to leave a message.
When Xiao Siwen saw Luo and Xiao, one of them had a wry smile on his face and the other looked surprised, he was stunned and asked, "Did I guess wrong...?"
Luo and Xiao looked at each other, their faces solemn and silent for a moment.
Xiao Siwen felt something was wrong, "But what happened?"
Xiao Muyun glanced at Luo Xiaoyao, pondered for a moment, and said: "Senior brother's father was murdered... I have come here to ask for help from my brother..."
After Mu Daocheng returned to Yunzhou last year, Xiao Siwen specifically asked Mu Daocheng about Luo Xiaoyao's family background. Tongbao Pavilion had been disbanded at that time, and Mu Daocheng told him the truth. Xiao Siwen also knew Luo Hanshui's skills.
De, when he heard this, he turned pale with shock, "Who did it? Is it the Guards Department of Daliao Beiyuan?"
But when he heard that he was seeking help, Xiao Siwen thought that Luo Hanshui had been injured by the Liao people, and since he was in charge of the post of staying behind in Youzhou as the prince-in-law, he knew a lot about the important affairs of various yamen in the South Courtyard, so he thought that he was the one in the North.
Luo Hanshui was injured by someone from the hospital's bodyguard department.
"The origin of the murderer is unknown, but we know that he injured Mr. Yan Zhong and Chang Yan that day, so I asked my junior sister to come with him... Please Brother Xiao, please send Mr. Yan to the house. I have something to ask him." Luo Xiaoyao stood up.
Execution of etiquette.
"Sit, sit." Xiao Siwen raised his hand to signal Luo Xiaoyao to take a seat, and said: "Brother Luo Xian, are you saying that you injured Uncle Yan Zhongchang and the people worshiped in the North Courtyard that day... and now you hurt Uncle Luo?"
Xiao Siwen is also aware of the fact that Yan Zhongchang and others went to Qinglong Mountain to explore the dragon veins."
Luo Xiaoyao nodded, "Exactly."
"How is Uncle Luo's injury now?"
Luo Xiaoyao and Xiao Muyun looked at each other and shook their heads, "Father, all his veins have been damaged, and all his martial arts skills have been lost..."
Xiao Siwen didn't like martial arts, but he still practiced it. He just waited for Mu Daocheng to leave the country and arranged the marriage between Luo Xiaoyao and Xiao Muyun. But when he heard that Luo Hanshui would die soon, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Shen was stunned for a moment, then stood up and said, "Muyun, please accompany Brother Luo Xian to the study... I will go to the Guards House to ask for Yan Zhongchang."
Xiao Siwen had many government affairs, but there was no place to discuss important matters in the hall, or there was a study room for Luo and Xiao to move.
After half a stick of incense, Yan Zhongchang followed Xiao Siwen to the study. After seeing the ceremony, Yan Zhongchang said: "On the road just now, I heard the prince-in-law say something, and all my veins were damaged, and my martial arts were all lost... How can this happen?
thing?"
"My father cut off his heart veins and failed. After the Qi flowed back into his internal organs, all the pulses became disordered. The murderer wanted to prevent my father from dying on the spot and broke the Qi flow in my father's Dantian..."
Yan Zhongchang was stunned for a moment, "Is he the monk who hurt Yan? Why did you want to cut off your heart?"
"Master Jue has mastered the magical power of 'fate power'. Mr. Yan thinks he knows that this skill can read people's memories, right?"
Yan Zhongchang was startled again, pondered for a moment, and nodded, "This magical power of 'destiny' is very harmful to one's cultivation even if it is used to judge things. That monk did not hesitate to sacrifice his energy to read your father's memory... Why is this?"
?”
But thinking that Luo Xiaoyao was looking for him to inquire about something, Yan Zhongchang did not shy away from it, so he directly inquired about the matter.
"This junior is not clear about the monk's purpose of hurting my father, so I came to Mr. Yan to clarify my doubts..."
"Oh?!" Yan Zhong grew up and was surprised, "Looking for Yan to clarify my doubts? How can Mr. Luo say this..."
"After Mr. Yan recovered from his injuries, did he ever seek revenge on that monk?"
Yan Zhongchang seemed to be aware of it. He stroked his short beard and shook his head, "No."
"Has Master Jiaojue ever looked for that monk?"
"My master has never been found..."
"Younger, I may have said something rude. I hope Mr. Yan will forgive me." Luo Xiaoyao paused and looked at Yan Zhongchang, "Yan Xian is a person who wants to take revenge. Why didn't he seek revenge from that monk? Is he afraid of it?
Are their skills amazing...or do they not know where they are?"
Yan Zhongchang smiled bitterly, pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Did you look for that monk after your father recovered?"
Luo Xiaoyao shook his head, "I don't know if my father is looking for me...but Master Mu once went to Liaodong to look for a person named Long Congyun. Does Mr. Yan recognize this person?"
Yan Zhongchang was shocked, hesitated for a moment, and nodded: "This person fought against Yan more than ten years ago... He defeated Yan with the Hundred Tribulations Fist."
Luo Xiaoyao and Xiao Muyun looked at each other with surprise and joy on their faces. Luo Xiaoyao said anxiously: "Does Mr. Yan know where this person comes from...?"
Yan Zhongchang shook his head, "After the battle with Yan, I don't know where he went..."
Luo Xiaoyao was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Before attacking my father, the monk asked me two questions. First, he asked my father how he knew that the 'Tian Lei Yin' technique could break the fist tribulation... That day
From Mr. Yan's use of the 'Lion's Roar' technique to protect the gods, Master Jue deduced that the 'Heavenly Thunder Sound' technique can break through fist tribulations, and this junior knows this."
"The second question is, did Master Mingwu ever tell my father about the Buddha's difficulty? May I ask Mr. Yan, does he know about the Buddha's difficulty?"
Yan Zhongchang hesitated for a moment, "Why did Mr. Luo not ask Master Mingwu to ask, but instead came to ask Yan...?"
Luo Xiaoyao sighed, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Master wants to know some of the reasons, but he doesn't want the younger generation to know... Master Mingwu respects the master very much, and he will not agree to it without the consent of the master.
Tell me..."
After a pause, he looked at Yan Zhongchang with a pleading look in his eyes, "From these two questions, I think that what the monk asked about...should be related to Buddhism, but after thinking about it, Master Jue, a great and eminent monk, should know about Buddhism.
There are many things. And if there is no chance, it is difficult for me to meet Master Jue, so I dare to disturb Mr. Yan..."
"Why did Mr. Luo think that Yan would know about the Buddhist tribulations? Even though his master was a senior Buddhist monk, Yan knew very little about Buddhist matters."
Xiao Muyun glanced at Luo Xiaoyao and continued: "Senior brother just said that Mr. Yan is a person who enjoys grudges and grudges, and Mu Yun thinks so too. With Mr. Yan's magnanimous mind, he will definitely not be affected by his opponent's skill.
I dare not seek revenge..."
"Miss Xiao Er thinks highly of Yan." Yan Zhongchang laughed, "Even if Yan has this intention, I don't know where the monk is staying. How can he find and take revenge?"
"Then if my senior brother and I tell Mr. Yan where the monk is staying...will Mr. Yan dare to go?"
After hearing Xiao Muyun's inspiring words, Yan Zhongchang was startled, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Mu Yun boldly guessed that Mr. Yan should know the whereabouts of the monk or Long Congyun. After recovering from the fist robbery, he wanted to seek revenge... because he had no choice but to give up this idea because he was blocked by Master Jue."
"If it is because of the reason for speaking out, it will bring disadvantages to Daming Temple or Mr. Yan himself..." Xiao Siwen, who was listening silently on the side, continued: "Then Mr. Yan doesn't have to say anything. If not, I hope Mr. Yan and Luo Xian
Brother, please clear up your doubts.”
After hearing what Xiao Siwen said, Yan Zhong sighed, stroking his short beard and pondering for a moment, looking at Luo Xiaoyao, "Yan only knew a little bit about this matter. After Yan recovered that day, he wanted to find Long Congyun."
I went... but Master stopped me on the way."
"So Long Congyun was also there when he hurt Mr. Yan? Did Mr. Yan know where they were staying?" Luo Xiaoyao said happily.
Yan Zhongchang shook his head, "Yan didn't know where the monk ended up. It was only because Yan knew that the only one in the world who knew the Hundred Tribulations Fist was Long Congyun, so he went to look for him first. He just wanted to learn from him.
The murderer who injured Yan was found on his body..."
Yan Zhongchang looked at Luo Xiaoyao's happy face, paused, and then said: "After the tutor stopped him, Yan had no choice but to give up the idea of going to look for him, but the North Courtyard Guards came to ask Yan about it, and together we
The reason why people went to Qinglong Mountain to wait for their deaths was because Yan received the favor of the emperor and told him who Long Congyun was..."
"Some people in the Beiyuan Guards Department also knew that Long Congyun stayed in the house of the Privy Envoy Yelu Lie in the Beiyuan. However, they did not know that when Long Congyun had an incident in Yan in recent years... he accompanied Yelu Lie as an envoy.
The Queen of Korea has disappeared."
Luo Xiaoyao was stunned and sighed, "Then what reason did Master Lingjue give to Mr. Yan to give up the idea of seeking revenge...?"
"The Buddha's Tribulation." Yan Zhong said in a long voice: "The Buddha's Tribulation has been passed down for hundreds of years..."
Luo Xiaoyao, Xiao Muyun, and Xiao Siwen looked at each other in shock and doubt.
