Red Mansion Jia Lan: Do you want to run away tonight to visit your relatives? Chapter 134: Visiting the Master and Returning to Sheng Mansion, Visiting the Taoist Temple and Returning Without Success
Chapter 134: Visiting the Master and Returning to Sheng Mansion, Visiting the Taoist Temple and Returning Without Success
Mr. Yin Shenghong of Shuntian Mansion had a rest today, but since he was focused on official duties, he still went to the Yamen before dawn and did not return to the mansion until lunch time.
After coming back, he did not go to his favorite Aunt Lin's place as he was used to. Instead, he changed clothes and went straight to the living room, where Jia Lan was already sitting here waiting in advance.
After listening to the disciple's brief description of his purpose, Sheng Hong looked obviously surprised. He put down the tea he had just drank and looked at Jia Lan intently without making a sound.
Jia Lan responded with a calm expression. After a while, Sheng Hong chuckled and nodded with satisfaction: "Actually, I also thought of persuading you to postpone the exam for a year, but I was afraid of hurting your spirit, so I didn't say anything.
, I didn’t expect you to have such thoughts, it’s really..."
There was a lot of praise in Sheng Hong's tone, and he changed the topic: "But I still want to remind you that you can go out for travel, but don't lose your ambition by playing with things, and don't imitate those pedantic ideas of retreating to the mountains and forests. As for what you asked me to do, I can promise you.
”
At this time, a servant came over and said that a subordinate in the Yamen had something urgent to report. Sheng Hong let Jia Lan wander around the house while he got up and went to the study.
Although the Shenjing Sheng Mansion occupies an area that is not large, it is not small either. Jia Lan strolled through the mansion, walking slowly until he came under a tree.
In August and Osmanthus Autumn in the world, there is a huge golden osmanthus tree growing in the prosperous mansion. I heard that it was planted by the old Marquis Yongping when he was young. As decades have passed, although things and people have changed, this small tree has
The little osmanthus has grown vigorously and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing.
The days when I was studying and studying were turned upside down after I learned about the Yuan Dynasty.
Sitting alone on the stone chair next to the osmanthus tree, feeling the rare silence, Jia Lan rarely relaxed and sorted out his experiences in recent days.
The breeze blew slowly, and the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus filled her nose. Jia Lan thought silently.
When did it start to become different?
Concentrating on meditation, each fragment flashed through Jia Lan's memory like a slideshow.
Suddenly! He froze in one of the pictures.
This scene is exactly what Jia Lan saw on the way from the academy to Shenjing on horseback in preparation for the provincial examination.
Later, on the morning of the provincial examination, the group of people attacked him outside Shenjing City.
Although Lao Cangtou later came to relieve Jia Lan, he was rushing to take the exam and had no time to be distracted. He just asked Jiao Ting and Meng Guo to lead people to chase him. However, with the strength of Beizhuang's soldiers, he didn't even find any trace of him.<
/p>
If Ma Daopo and Zhang Laodao were specifically targeting the psychic gem, then what about the group of people who were attacking them?
After thinking about it all the way, Jia Lan cared more about the latter than Ma Daopo and others.
There is no doubt that as enemies, Ma Daopo and Zhang Laodao are both extremely powerful. Whether they are Gu gods or ghost techniques, they have inheritance and power that ordinary people cannot hope to match.
But to be honest, Jialan is not worried about his enemies on the surface, but rather because of his hidden enemies...
The group of people who attacked him were very secretive. They were able to evade the Beizhuang warriors silently, and even the subsequent pursuit by Ni Er, Ni San and others did not leave any trace.
You must know that after a training in Liaodong, the strength of the soldiers has been completely improved to a new level. Tracking in the wild is definitely not inferior to experienced hunters.
Ni Er's network of connections around Shenjing should not be underestimated. Having completely abandoned the usury business, he followed Jia Lan's advice and led his brothers to open a horse racing business. With his reputation as a real person in Liaodong,
He was awarded the title of Hundred Households, and was later promoted to the rank of Thousand Households due to his contribution in the Blackwater Village Incident, and soon made a name for himself.
Moreover, Ni Er used to travel all over the country and had many friendships with the Ma Xing and Cao gangs in the entire Shuntian Prefecture.
However, with such a large net, these attackers just disappeared.
In the advanced Qi-entraining stage, Jialan experienced another battle. His mental energy was much stronger than before, and his thoughts became clearer. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
How did Zhang Laodao and Ma Daopo know the changes in the psychic jade?
Different from the vague explanation in the original work, Jia Baoyu, who was born with a jade in his mouth, and Zhang Laodao, who was Xian Rongguo's stand-in, must have met many times. After all, he was born with a jade in his mouth, and the Jia family also needs someone who can communicate with him.
Send kindness to the forbidden mouthpiece.
However, the Ning and Rong mansions have just undergone drastic changes, so it is not suitable for anyone to go. On the contrary, Zhang Laodao, who has been awarded the title of the Holy Emperor, is the most suitable.
That old Taoist Zhang must have seen the psychic jade.
After so many years, he didn't notice anything unusual about the jade. How did he detect that Yu Linglong was out of trouble and Baoyu regained his spirituality?
He had a feeling that from Ma Daopo to Zhang Laodao, to the person who attacked him, they seemed to be unrelated to each other, but there seemed to be a big network connecting them all.
The doubt arises in Zhang Laodao.
Jia Lan made an excuse and got Jia's mother's permission to go to Qingxu Temple with Jia Lian to pay homage. He found out from the Taoist boy in the temple where Zhang Laodao was retreating, and sneaked in to investigate.
In the end, nothing was found, and all traces of Zhang Laodao were erased.
Too clean and too deliberate.
Jia Lan searched back and forth several times, but could not find any trace of resentment.
Ordinarily, Zhang Laodao himself would never have thought of killing Jia Lan. Naturally, it was impossible to hide all the traces. If you see it, it seems that another group of people came to clean up the matter.
What is certain is that they are definitely not people in the temple.
Judging from the aura of those Taoists, almost all of them have been corrupted by money and are full of greed for money. If such people were exposed to the resentment left by Zhang Laodao, they would have gone crazy.
In other words, there are still third-party forces involved.
His speculation did not receive a positive response from Miaoyu, but her answer was quite intriguing. She only speculated that the hexagram was hazy, which means it may or may not be the case.
Miaoyu made a suggestion, that is, let Jia Lan go out to travel more, saying that Jia Lan's opportunities are outside, not inside.
With more contact, Jia Lan felt that Miaoyu was becoming more and more like a magic stick. Not long ago, she told Jia Lan that opportunities would fly to her door, but she turned around and said that she would go out and travel.
Faced with Jia Lan's questions, Miaoyu gave Jia Lan a high hat, saying that his fate was chaotic, far beyond the reach of ordinary people, and the divination she calculated for Jia Lan was often hazy.
The only thing she could tell Jia Lan was that she had calculated the hexagrams several times and got a somewhat clear picture. Although it seemed a little inconsistent, Miaoyu was very sure that the hexagrams would not be wrong.
Then she changed the subject and reminded Jia Lan that seemingly contradictory hexagrams may often be caused by different angles of view, just like the principle of seeing a mountain as a mountain and seeing a mountain as not a mountain. What is contradictory is not the principle, but the person himself. A grain of osmanthus seeds floated on his face, and the slight touch brought Jia Lan back to his senses. He gently picked up the osmanthus seeds dripping on his thighs and smelled the faint fragrance.
If you can't figure it out, just let it be.
He believes that any contact will leave traces.
If there is really a manipulator behind the scenes, the other party will definitely reveal its flaws as time goes by. Unless... the other party lurks again and never shows up again. Otherwise, once he appears, Jialan, who is prepared, will never return empty-handed.<

In order to protect everyone, I will definitely find you!
