But I saw a man standing more than ten feet away. The breeze was blowing, and his white clothes were fluttering. He looked very cool under the moonlight. The man came out when he saw Jue, and he cupped his hands in greeting: "Luo Hanshui, who was born late, has met Master Jue."
Master Liaojue smiled slightly and said: "Amitabha, the old monk is really impressed by Luo Jushi's mastery of this trick of "reciprocating love with love"."
"I don't dare to take it seriously. I came to disturb the master in the middle of the night. Please don't blame me."
Master Liaojue was the head of the martial arts academy of Daming Temple thirty years ago. He entered Zen through martial arts and had a lot of research on the martial arts of various sects. Like Luo Hanshui, he was so unbiased and unbiased, forcing the Buddha beads back to their original path without missing a beat.
I'm afraid there aren't many people, and besides, the person who attained the "Golden Body Realm" cultivation level spent 70% of his power to shoot out the Buddha beads.
Back then, he was forced out of the circle by Yi Wuwei's "reciprocation". He vaguely guessed that Luo Hanshui had something to do with Yi Wuwei, but he didn't try to point it out. He looked at Luo Hanshui and said: "I don't know why Master Luo Hanshui came to visit late at night.
?”
"The junior dog was taken away by senior student Yan Zhongchang for unknown reasons. The disciple left a message saying that he could be found at Daming Temple. Master should know about this, right?"
In fact, Luo Hanshui thought that Zhijue didn't know anything about it, but he knew that Zhijue was an eminent monk and would not kidnap a junior. However, he couldn't find Yan Zhongchang, so he had to use words to provoke him.
Liaojue was startled for a moment and thought of the Luo Hanshui Kung Fu. It turned out that Yan Zhongchang was dissatisfied with his own Buddhist principles, so the purpose of the technique was defeated by Yi Wuwei's hands and he arrested Yi Wuwei's successor.
In the past ten years, he has studied Buddhism intensively, and he has long been worried about being defeated by Yi Wuwei. Hearing this, he came to Heshi Dao: "Amitabha, sins, sins, origins, strands of threads, good and bad karma, all are
You are asking for it, if it is really the evil disciple Zhong Chang who did it, I will send someone to take your young master back to his house."
"Does the master know the whereabouts of Mr. Yan?" Although he knew that Luo Xiaoyao's life was not in danger, due to the deep love between father and son, he hoped to find Yan Zhongchang immediately and save Luo Xiaoyao.
"That's good, that's good. I don't know, Layman Luo, but he knows Yi Wuwei, Layman Yi?" Liaojue answered the wrong question.
Yan Zhongchang made it clear that he wanted the elders of Luo Xiaoyao's sect to come to Daming Temple to receive someone. He was already feeling strange after bathing in the cold water. When he heard the words, his mind moved and he guessed that the matter must be related to Yi Wuwei, so he responded: "Mr. Yi is still here."
He is Quanzi’s master.”
"So that's it. I know what happened. I think it's because of the bad guy's desire to win that he offended Mr. Ling. It's really because I didn't teach him well. Mr. Luo, please feel free to go back. I guarantee that Mr. Ling is fine."
But after hearing what he said, it seemed that there was something hidden, but it was not convenient to ask. Seeing that he was so frank and had no intention of defending his shortcomings, Luo Hanshui felt at ease and respected him. He clasped his fists and saluted, "Then I'm sorry, Master, for disturbing Qingxiu."
, I hope you will forgive me, I will say goodbye and come back to say thank you tomorrow."
"That's good, that's good." Liaojue smiled slightly and returned the favor.
Luo Hanshui resigned and left, met up with Weng Mu and Sikong Ran who were waiting outside the temple, and headed for Youzhou City. He visited Daming Temple at night. Before he knew Master Jue's attitude, he did not dare to trust him.
He took Weng and Mu with him just in case.
The three of them walked not far away when they vaguely heard a sound coming from the woods ahead, as if someone was struggling and moaning. Luo Hanshui frowned and motioned for Sikong Ran to come in to investigate.
After a while, Sikong Ran came out and said: "To the master of the pavilion, the man in the forest seems to have practiced poisonous skills and suffered backlash. He may not die soon."
Luo Hanshui and Weng Mu looked at each other and then entered the woods. They saw a beggar-like man with a beard leaning under a big tree. His eyes were closed, his face was dark, and he was sweating coldly.
It didn't stop, I was short of breath, my breath was disordered, I thought I was dead.
This man was Gan Shaolong. Liu Gongwen kidnapped Chang Qingqing that day. When he thought that the "Hundred Insects Poison Scripture" was hidden on Chang Qingqing, he became even more anxious. He just hoped that Liu Gongwen would not find it, so he told Fang Changsheng
If people from Yaowang Valley come to pick up Miao Kexue, they must tell them their real names and the fact that Chang Qingqing was robbed.
He knew that his martial arts skills were not as good as Liu Gongwen's, so he hoped that Yaowang Gu would help Miao Kexue regardless of his previous suspicions. After confessing, he pursued him all the way to Yizhou, but he did not expect Liu Gongwen to do so.
We will take a detour through Beihan.
When Gan Shaolong came to Youzhou, he heard that King Yan had participated in the rebellion and had been executed. The guests in the mansion had gone their separate ways. He guessed that Liu Gongwen might also run away after hearing the news, but he thought that now the Prince of Yan's Mansion would be
Unwilling to find the only clue about Liu Gongwen, he wandered around Prince Yan's Mansion to investigate, waiting for Liu Gongwen to appear.
It is said that hard work does not take any effort. That evening, I saw Liu Gongwen entering Prince Yan's Mansion, but he did not see him bringing Chang Qingqing with him. He was so anxious that he sneaked into Prince Yan's Mansion at night to investigate, but was discovered by Liu Gongwen.
, a fight broke out in Prince Yan's Mansion. Gan Shaolong's martial arts cultivation was already weaker than Liu Gongwen's, and there was a disciple in the Mansion who was skilled in the Guizhen Realm. He was seriously injured within a few moves, but he was lucky enough to escape.
.
After escaping to the woods, the toxins hidden in the body were also activated due to serious injuries. When they were in pain and dying, they met Luo Hanshui and three people who came after hearing the sound. Weng Mu walked to Gan Shaolong, squatted down and checked his veins.
Hui: "This person has practiced the Poison Kung Fu. It seems that the technique is wrong and there is residual poison on his body. In addition, he was seriously injured and the poison has invaded his internal organs. He may not be able to survive the time of a stick of incense."
Gan Shaolong opened his eyes slightly at this time and said weakly: "Senior... cough, cough, junior Gan Shaolong has... I have something to ask senior to help me..."
He heard Weng Mu's words in confusion, and knew that Weng Mu was a martial artist. He thought that he might die in an instant, and thought of Chang Qingqing's safety in his heart, so he asked for help.
Weng Mu turned his head and looked at Luo Hanshui. When he saw Luo Hanshui nodded, he said to Gan Shaolong: "Now that we have met, it can be considered fate. Just tell me..."
Hearing Weng Mu's promise, Gan Shaolong forced himself to straighten his body and smiled miserably, "This junior has an adopted daughter... who was kidnapped by evildoers. Please tell me, senior, to tell the people of Yao... Yaowang Valley to try to save her..."
Hearing Gan Shaolong mention Yaowang Valley, Weng Mu was shocked. He hurriedly helped Gan Shaolong up, put a palm on his back, and asked anxiously: "What is your relationship with Yaowang Valley?"
Gan Shaolong felt a stream of qi slowly coming from the Duyu point on his back, and the pain in his body gradually subsided. He knew that Weng Mu had spent his true energy to keep himself alive for a moment, and his face showed gratitude, "Thank you, senior. I... I have failed because of the medicine."
Wang Gu, stole the Grain Poison Sutra, but the junior has never done any harm to anyone, ahem... The junior saved the granddaughter of the valley owner, but the adopted daughter Chang Qingqing was..."
"Chang Qingqing?" Weng Mu's heart was shocked again, and he quickly described the appearance of Chang Qingqing that Xinzhou had seen, and asked: "Is it this little girl?"
Gan Shaolong was excited, "Senior... cough, cough, senior knows Qingqing? Do you know where she... is?"
Weng Mu shook his head. He was not sure whether Chang Qingqing had really escaped, so he sighed: "I don't know, but I didn't expect that person to be the villain named Liu in Mr. Chu's mouth. Hey, you said you stole the grain?"
Poison Sutra? Where is the Poison Sutra now?"
Weng Mu heard Chu Nanfeng mention it in Taibai Mountain Academy and knew that the purpose of Liu Gongwen was to learn the skills in the Poison Sutra, so he asked this question. Unexpectedly, when Gan Shaolong heard Weng Mu ask about the Poison Sutra, he
I have doubts in my heart.
He and Weng Mu and others were strangers to each other. He only asked for help when he was about to die. He thought that it would be best if Weng Mu and others were good people, but it would not be a big deal if they were evil people.
The Poison Sutra on his body is a matter of life and death for Chang Qingqing, so he won't talk about it.
He was thinking again that Weng Mu and others might be sent by Liu Gongwen to trick him into revealing the whereabouts of the Poison Sutra, but he closed his eyes and said nothing. When a person like Weng Mu saw Gan Shaolong's expression, he knew that he was suspicious and fearful, so he did not force it.
, and asked: "Do you have anything else to explain?"
Gan Shaolong looked at Weng Mu and shook his head with a look of guilt on his face. Weng Mu sighed and removed his right hand from Gan Shaolong's back. He only heard Gan Shaolong say: "Thank you... Thank you..." Before he finished speaking,
He fell to the ground on his side and died.
Luo Hanshui shook his head when he saw this: "This person is quite scheming, but he is also a kind and righteous person. Hey, hide his body in the grass first, and let him be in charge, and then send someone to bury him tomorrow."
"
When the three of them returned to the branch pavilion in the city, they saw an arrow guard waiting in front of the hall in the pavilion. Sikong Ran knew that there was news, so he stepped forward. The arrow guard handed a scroll of paper to Sikong Ran.
, resigned and left.
Sikong Ran unfolded the scroll and looked at it. He smiled at Luo and Weng and said: "There is news from the Northern Han Dynasty that Mr. Chu knows that the young master has been kidnapped. He tells Elder Weng not to worry and to go back to Taiyuan first.
…”
"Oh? I think Nanfeng has already met Yan Zhongchang. It's very good, very good." Luo Hanshui smiled slightly when he heard this, entered the hall, sat down and said to Weng Mu: "What's going on with Chang Qingqing?"
?How does Elder Weng recognize it?"
Weng Mu then told Luo Hanshui what happened to him and Luo Xiaoyao in Xinzhou. Luo Hanshui was a little surprised, "It's really a strange combination of circumstances. It seems that Liu Gongwen has returned to Prince Yan's Mansion. Manager Sikong will investigate tomorrow."
, see if the little girl is with him, if she is still in Liu Gongwen's hands, don't try to save her, I will go to Yunzhou immediately, maybe I can help Nanfeng."

At the west gate of Youzhou City, Yelu Zongwu looked back and saw a horseman following him ten feet away. He patted his chest and took a long breath. The horseman following him was Chu Nanfeng.
It turned out that after Yelu Zongwu attended the wedding banquet between Xiao Siwen and Princess Yan, he said goodbye to Xiao Yanbei and came to Youzhou. Unexpectedly, he followed Chu Nanfeng not long after he left. For a while, he didn't know what Chu Nanfeng wanted.
Why, but I didn’t dare to come forward to say hello, I was naturally frightened along the way.
After entering the city, people were coming and going on the streets. Yelv Zongwu walked for a while and then looked back, but Chu Nanfeng was nowhere to be seen. He arrived at Prince Yan's Mansion with surprise and suspicion.
King Yan was executed. Although the family was not confiscated, the personnel in the palace were greatly changed. The person who took over was an official from the Duxiang Wen Department of the Khitan Ji's father's imperial family. He also recognized Yelu Zongwu. When he saw him coming to King Yan's palace, he did not hesitate.
Feeling surprised, he welcomed Yelu Zongwu into the middle hall and handed him an imperial edict. As Yan Zhongchang expected, Yelujing's edict for him to be the commander of the Guard House had been sent to Youzhou.
After reading the imperial edict, Yelv Zongwu was again pleasantly surprised. It turned out that the emperor of the Liao Dynasty gave Yelu Zongwu this half-square-foot Prince Yan's residence and turned it into a general's residence. Such an honor was beyond Yelu Zongwu's expectation. It was because he and the emperor were brothers of the same race.
He asked the officials in charge about Liu Gongwen's whereabouts. When he learned that an assassin had entered the house a few days ago, he was shocked. He expected that the matter was related to Liu Gongwen. Thinking of Yan Zhongchang's instructions, he guessed that Liu Gongwen must be I went to the Guardian Mansion Office to discuss some matters within the mansion with the official in charge, and then went to the Guardian Mansion.
There were seven or eight people sitting in a side hall of the Nandaiwangyuan Guard Office. Liu Gongwen, who had a neatly trimmed beard, sat on a high chair on the left, with two men over forty sitting next to him, and one on the right. The few guards sitting at the head are all descendants from the Jiuzhang of Yaochuan, and most of them are young and old.
"Commander Zongwu serves as the commander of our guard house as Ji Fang Huang Zhang. Hehe, he is condescending." One of the young guard leaders said. The Khitan people all call each other by their first names. These nine disciples are in Youyun. As I grew up, I also took on more Chinese names.
"Brother Qingyuan is right. I heard that the emperor also gave the Prince Yan's Mansion to Commander Zongwu, but with the official position...hehe." One of the young men with braids on both sides of his forehead sneered before he finished speaking. He stood up, seemingly dissatisfied.
Another person said: "Commander Zongwu is also the commander-in-chief of the Shuozhou Cavalry Battalion..."
Suddenly, the figure of Yelu Zongwu appeared at the door. The man remained silent. Yelu Zongwu was now the boss of the descendants of the Nine Accounts. When everyone saw him coming in, they all stood up and saluted: "See you, Commander."
"Everyone, please take a seat." Yelu Zongwu said with a smile and went straight to the main seat to take a seat. He was a general who commanded thousands of troops and horses, so he also had a certain dignity.
"Zong Wu, thanks to the grace of God, is the commander of the Guard Mansion. I hope you will help me in the future. If you are not on duty tonight, you can have a drink at Zong Wu Mansion. How about it?" After hearing this, several guards looked at each other and said, They all nodded in agreement.
"That Zongwu is preparing wine to treat you all tonight." Yelu Zongwu laughed, looked at Liu Gongwen who was smiling and said nothing, hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Yan has something to do and is unable to come back. I have told Zongwu... Mr. Liu is acting as a guest in the Guard Mansion for the time being, what do you think?"
Yelu Zongwu was promoted to the commander of the Guard House this time, and he also had great power. The experts in the Guard House were much better than those in Prince Yan's House before. Now that Yelv Zongwu had confirmed his status as a guest minister, Liu Gongwen was willing in his heart. After hearing this, He stood up and saluted and said, "Thank you so much for Commander Yelu. Liu will obey your orders."
Yelu Zongwu nodded and smiled, then turned to the other two men and said, "I wonder what you two think?"
These two men were also disciples of Prince Yan's palace. Their faces lit up with joy when they heard this, and they stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Lord Commander."
Yelu Zongwu motioned for the three of them to sit down: "How about these gentlemen going to Zongwu's mansion together tonight?"
Liu Gongwen frowned and said, "Liu has an enemy. I don't know how he got the news that Liu was in Prince Yan's Mansion. They came to visit him the day before yesterday. I'm afraid he may have caused inconvenience to the general."
Naturally, he dared not tell Yelu Zongwu now that this enemy came here on an appointment. At first, there were many masters in Prince Yan's palace, and Liu Gongwen was confident. But now it is different. In addition, he has provoked Weng Mu, Luo Xiaoyao and others, and he is planning in his heart. Hiding in the Guard Mansion for a while, waiting for Yan Zhongchang to come back.
A man in green clothes next to him heard this and said: "What is there to fear about a person who has just returned to the True Realm? Even if he is in the realm of Divine Mind and Holding Pills, how dare he come to Prince Yan's Mansion and the Guards Department will go wild?
?”
I thought that this person was the one who hurt Gan Shaolong. When he entered the Guard House and became a guest minister, his tone was naturally very arrogant.
Yelu Zongwu was unhappy when he heard that and frowned: "What does Mr. Liu mean?"
"I'm not afraid, but I'm just entering the Guard House now. If I recruit enemies, I will be criticized. If Liu doesn't show up, they won't be able to find him. He will leave after a while, which will save some trouble.
"
Yelu Zongwu nodded when he heard this: "That's fine, then just follow what Mr.
As soon as Chu Nanfeng entered the city, he was recognized by several arrow guards Weng Mu arranged to watch at the city gate and took him to the branch pavilion to meet Weng Mu. Weng Mu was shocked when he didn't see Luo Xiaoyao accompanying him.
After leading Chu Nanfeng to sit down in the hall, he said anxiously: "Mr. Chu, have you found the young master?"
Seeing his worried look, Chu Nanfeng smiled and nodded, telling what happened in Xiao Yanbei's mansion in Yunzhou, and then said: "Senior Mu said that Xiaoyao was destined to be with him, so he took him to Mingyue Villa to stay for a few days.
Today, thinking that this is a chance for freedom, Chu will follow Senior Mu's wishes and go to Mingyue Villa to take them with him when he returns from the south."
"Them?" Weng Mu asked slightly confused, and Chu Nanfeng informed him about accepting Xiao Muyun as his disciple.
Weng Mu smiled and said: "This Miss Xiao is very lucky to have Mr. Chu as her teacher... Oh, did Mr. Chu meet the master of the pavilion on the way?"
Chu Nanfeng was startled: "Brother Luo? Is he here too? Did he go to Yunzhou again? I didn't meet Chu on the way."
There are only two branches of Tongbao Pavilion in Liao Kingdom, one is in Liaoyang and the other is Youzhou. At first, Weng Mu asked two arrow guards to go to Mingyue Villa to report the news of Luo Xiaoyao's captivity, and also wanted to keep the arrow guards in Chu Nanfeng.
By his side, it was a pity that Chu Nanfeng did not stay, so the message was not conveyed smoothly.
It happened that the marriage of the princess of Yan State was a big event, and the whole Khitan country knew it. Luo Hanshui did not see Yan Zhongchang return, so he guessed that he must have gone to Yunzhou to attend the wedding banquet, and ordered Weng Mu to stay in Youzhou and pay attention to Liu Gongwen.
He went to Yunzhou alone to look for Yan Zhongchang, but he did not meet Chu Nanfeng on the way.
Weng Mu then told Luo Hanshui about going to Daming Temple and meeting Gan Shaolong.
"I didn't expect the matter to change like this. Alas, I never thought that the little girl who stole the chicken outside Cizhou City would be Chang Shan's sister." Chu Nanfeng also learned about Chang Qingqing's love from Luo Xiaoyao.
Hearing this, he sighed in his heart: "This Gan Shaolong seems to be a kind and righteous person, what a pity. I heard from Xiaoyao that before arriving in Yunzhou, Liu Gongwen did go back alone. See
Chang Qingqing did indeed escape, but I don’t know who rescued her..."
"Judging from the death of Gan Shaolong, the thief should have returned to Prince Yan's Mansion, but his whereabouts could not be found out by asking people. The old man asked Manager Sikong to go find people in person. When he comes back, he may know where Liu Thief is.
where?"
"That's very good. Elder Lao Weng is here."
"Then Zhongchang Yan is still in Yunzhou?"
"Speaking of Yan Zhongchang, it's strange that he disappeared after fighting me that day..." Chu Nanfeng shook his head in confusion: "Even Xiao Yanbei doesn't know why he left."
"Is it possible that you didn't go to the wedding banquet because you felt it was a loss of face because of your defeat at the hands of Mr. Chu?"
"Judging from Yan Zhongchang's cultivation, his state of mind will definitely not be affected by this trivial matter. Besides, if I don't use tricks, I may not be able to defeat him."
Weng Mu thought for a moment and said: "That's strange, he hasn't returned to the Guard House..."
"The man named Yelu Zongwu who was traveling with him... actually came to Youzhou with me and entered the city. Chu wanted to follow him, maybe he could find out the whereabouts of Liu Gongwen, but he was brought here by the Arrow Guards.
Department." Chu Nanfeng smiled: "But I also ordered an arrow guard to follow me, and there should be news back."
At this time, Sikong Ran came back from outside to inquire about information. After hearing Weng Mu's introduction to Chu Nanfeng, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute and greet him. He never expected that the elegant and personable scribe in front of him was actually a person highly respected by the pavilion master.
.
"I asked someone to inquire about it. Liu Gongwen returned to Prince Yan's Mansion four days ago. Someone entered the Mansion that night to assassinate him. Since then, he has gone nowhere." Sikong Ranming took a sip of tea and said again.
: "The person Mr. Chu wanted to follow also entered Prince Yan's Mansion."
"Entering Prince Yan's Mansion?" Chu Nanfeng frowned. He didn't know that Yelu Zongwu was the younger brother of Prince Yan and the cousin of the current Emperor of Liao.
"I heard from Xiaoyao that Liu Gongwen and them happened to meet each other on the way. I think Yelv Zongwu should be with Yan Zhongchang... Could it be that Yelv Zongwu is originally from the Yan Palace?" After Luo Xiaoyao was kidnapped by Yan Zhongchang, he committed suicide.
I also heard some words from Yan Zhongchang and the others.
"There are still two days before the date when Miao Valley Master and Liu Thief meet. He has no hostages in his hands. He will probably hide away. Tonight, he will go to the Prince of Yan's Mansion to inquire about Yelu Zongwu. Maybe he can find out Liu Thief's whereabouts.
"
At the moment, Liu Gongwen had no hostages in his hands, and there was no point in keeping the one-month agreement. Weng Mu felt that Chu Nanfeng's words were reasonable, so he nodded in agreement. At about eleven o'clock, the two of them arrived outside Prince Yan's Mansion, and faintly disappeared.
When they heard the sound of fighting coming from the mansion, they looked at each other, jumped into Prince Yan's Mansion, and looked for the place where the sound of fighting was coming from.
This Prince Yan's Mansion is nearly a square meter in size. There is a large grassland on the right side of the mansion, with a felt tent on it. On the grass in front of the tent, several bonfires are lit, and whole sheep are roasting on them. Yelu Zongwu is sitting on the ground, with a
There is a low table with barbecue, soju and other items placed on the table.
There are six low tables on each side of the table. There are eight men in regular clothes kneeling or sitting cross-legged behind the table. They are eating while looking at the fighting scene not far away. Several servants are walking around to add wine.
Add meat.
Chu and Weng stopped at a rockery next to the grass and looked around. They saw a masked man fighting with an old man in gray robes. There were two people standing two feet to the left and right, trying to stop the masked man.
Escape.
The masked man seemed to have strong hands, fighting with the gray-robed old man with his palms and fingers, and fearing a sneak attack from the people guarding on both sides, most of his moves were defensive rather than offensive.
Chu Nanfeng looked at it for a moment and said to Weng Mu: "The masked man is Miao Changning, the master of Yaowang Valley. The one sitting behind the table in the middle is Yelu Zongwu. Elder Lao Weng restrained him."
"It turns out that this guy is Yelu Zongwu, okay, I'll leave it to the old man to deal with." Weng Mu nodded. He had met Yelu Zongwu when he was in Daizhou Canyon, but he didn't know his name at first.
The two of them jumped up at the same time. Chu Nanfeng rushed towards the place where the fight was taking place, but Weng Mu walked away from the tent vertically. The people standing on the left and right sides of the battlefield saw Chu Nanfeng suddenly appear. They were stunned for a moment and then moved toward
Chu Nanfeng rushed forward, hitting Chu Nanfeng with one left and one right, with palms and punches.
