Chapter 88. The yellow crane never returned

cpa300_4(); The living room of the Taiping Marquis Mansion has not been used for a long time. Remember the top story of [The Latest Chapter of ↖ ↖ ↖ the Cat Fight Novel] ↖ for a second, but this time I entertained a guest, and it was still a female guest, but it was not Mrs. Hou Ye who entertained her, but Hou Ye Anlu himself.

The hot tea came one after another, but the guest did not drink a sip, but kept holding the teacup between his palms, as if to absorb the warmth it exuded.

The little maid pouring tea noticed this phenomenon and couldn't help but look at the butler who was accompanying him in the hall, and the butler groaned slightly, motioning for her to bring a small hand stove to warm the guests' hands.

Experienced in hospitality, this bit of eyesight housekeeper still has.

"Aqing, you take them down first."

Hou Ye spoke.

The housekeeper Ah Qing was slightly stunned, and then Ma Li's herald ordered the removal of the person in charge of waiting, so that the conversation that occurred in the living room was left in the hall and could not be passed on.

“…… Speaking of which? The Taoist priest of the Southern Jin Dynasty [Note 1] hugged Pu Zige Zhenren, and wrote 20 volumes of "Inner Chapter", 50 volumes of "Outer Chapter", in addition to "Hidden Volume", "Behind the Elbow" ......"

"Master Hou, I know that Ge Zhenren is a pioneer in medicine and alchemy, and he has also read "Behind the Elbow", but what does this have to do with my father?"

Su Musha couldn't help but ask, since the Taiping Marquis sat down for tea, he began to talk about Ge Hong's life endlessly, and she was confused.

The Taiping Hou Jindao sat on the chair and said in a loud voice: "You asked me who your father's surname is and what he does for a living, why is he impatient when he listens to it?" ”

Su Musha thought back to what he had just said, and asked hesitantly, "But why do you want to talk about Ge Zhenren's past?" Do you want to sue me? My father is also an alchemy Taoist? Wouldn't it be the little Danshi who identified my mother? ”

The Marquis of Taiping's beard curled, glared and said, "Where do you want to go?" Where did Ben Hou just say, oh, yes, in addition to those well-known works, Ge Zhenren also left a manuscript called "The Legend of the Immortals", which tells the deeds of the ancestors who became immortals and even ascended in the past, which recorded the well-known alchemy, qi training and pharmaceutical techniques. ”

When Su Musha heard this, he felt some taste. "Immortality?" Ascension? Does anyone really believe this nonsense? ”

The Marquis of Taiping shook his head. nodded again, as if it was a little difficult to speak, and finally sighed: "The first emperor and his martial arts can be said to be unprecedented. There is no one to come. Only life and death. It's always unbreakable. Having said that, there are a few emperors and generals throughout the ages who are not pursuing immortality. ”

Is it the emperor who asks for immortality? Then the nature of the matter is different.

"Therefore, a Taoist priest who alchemy can become a country's Dan master. It's good to be on it. It's going to be very bad, it's not unusual. Su Musha sighed.

She thought that her mother had publicly stated that she would not do alchemy, and she had also expressed her disdain for those legends that had ascended to immortals, perhaps her mother had offended not only the people who were still vain, but also the emperor who wanted to live a long life.

The Marquis of Taiping thought back and said: "The first emperor made great efforts to make a copper skull, and set it up in front of the palace city, originally in order to be able to accept his subordinates at any time and advise all parties. More than 20 years ago, someone presented a copy of the "Legend of the Immortals" and claimed to know the whereabouts of the secret book "Feitian" [Note 2] mentioned in the Legend of the Immortals. If you can find Qi Feitian's complete book, you can follow the ancients and ascend. ”

"Secrets? Flying? The whole book? Although Su Musha had such and such doubts, the first question he asked was:

"Who is the one who gave the book?"

Taiping Hou sneered and said, "Taiji Gate." ”

Tai Chi Gate? As soon as you hear the name, you know that this is a Taoist sect. The strange thing is that the three words Taiji Gate are so familiar, as if I have heard it somewhere.

Su Musha tried his best to recall, and suddenly blessed his soul: when he was in Rongzhou, someone once sent things such as funeral white things such as paper tie and tie couplets to Dark Village, and the payment of the couplet was Taijimen.

What's more, when Dongfang Yi led people to besiege Yin Cheng Yin's Zhuang Zhuang in the forest of Huzhuang, he was told by Yin Cheng to break that the formation they used was the "Taiji Sword Formation", so it was expected that the enemy was Taijimen.

Now that time has passed, in retrospect, the whole thing is full of weirdness, why did the mercenaries of Lingyun Villa use the "Tai Chi Sword Array", or should we ask, why did they use the "Tai Chi Sword Array" at that time, just to splash dirty water on the Tai Chi Gate.

"Taijimen said that he knew the whereabouts of the secret, and the emperor believed it? If there really is such a thing, "The Legend of the Immortals" has existed for thousands of years, and people are flocking to it, and someone has already found someone to cultivate? I haven't heard of anyone becoming a god. Su Musha shook her head as she spoke, she felt that this thing was too ridiculous to be convincing.

Taiping Hou sighed and said slowly: "If it is just such a book, of course, it is not enough to believe it, the key is that the person who wrote the book also presented some fragments of the chapter, saying that it was the fragment of the 'Flying Sky'.

The first emperor found someone to study those fragments and determined that Feitian was an internal exercise, which was very mysterious. Even though it is an exaggeration to ascend to the Tao, it is certain that after practice, it can make the body strong and healthy. The emperor was moved and planned to send a few people to secretly find the secrets. ”

Su Musha bowed his head slightly and asked, "Is there a father among them?" You said his surname was Huang Minghe, who is he? ”

"Your father was originally an orphan, but later participated in the martial arts, joined the former emperor's Yulin Army, and was slowly promoted to Zhonglang General. The emperor appreciated him very much, and **** took him with him to protect the emperor's safety. ”

It turned out that my father was an orphan.

There is no uncle, and there is no brother.

"Your father and Lord Lin were originally both subordinates of Ben Hou, and as Ben Hou's deputy, they were jointly in charge of the Yulin Army."

Hearing this, Su Musha's heart moved, and Lin Nuo's words came to her mind:

"Peach Blossom Miasma...... It's been more than 20 years, and now I still have palpitations when I think about it. ”

Lin Nuo entered the miasma of Yunnan more than 20 years ago, and the first emperor sent his father to find the secret more than 20 years ago, and Lord Lin and his father were both subordinates of the Marquis of Taiping......

"Looking for secrets, are you going to Dian Prefecture to find them?" Su Musha asked.

Taiping Hou was slightly stunned, but she didn't expect her to make a correct inference after listening to a few words: "Yes." At that time, it was Ben Hou who was in charge, and Chongzhi and Hezi were Ben Hou's deputies. The three of us brought some people and entered Yunnan lightly. ”

Unconsciously, the Marquis of Taiping regained his former title for this right-hand man.

"Lord Lin was poisoned there, so he became acquainted with my mother, so he is my parents' matchmaker."

Hearing this, the Marquis of Taiping nodded with satisfaction and said, "These are the important things to tell you?" Even if he still has a conscience, he didn't keep you in the dark. ”

Su Musha was silent, neither admitting nor denying it, but continued: "But you didn't find anything that time, so the first emperor simply sent troops to attack Dian Prefecture, planning to include it in the territory and then slowly look for it, right?" ”

The Marquis of Taiping smiled, looked at her for a while, and said, "You guessed very accurately, ** not far from ten." ”

One by one, the clues were like beads, which were originally scattered in Su Musha's mind, but now the words of the Taiping Hou have become the thread to wear the beads, which makes her suddenly enlightened.

"All I want to know now is how did my father die?"

The Marquis of Taiping sighed: "After the first emperor accepted Dian Prefecture, he once again sent a crane to go deep into Dian Prefecture to investigate the whereabouts of Feitian, just when he was out on business, Ling Tang committed the crime of great disrespect and was sentenced to behead in prison. After Lingtang was executed, he never came back to his life. ”

Su Mu's eyes lit up: "He escaped?" That is, is it possible that he is still alive? ”

(The heroine's diary 120, on the second day of August, "Behind the Elbow" always reminds me of eating...... (To be continued.) )

ps: [Note 1] Ge Hong, the real person in history, is a native of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and in the novel, in order to show the overhead, he fabricated that the dynasty to which he belonged was called "Southern Jin Dynasty", but if it was really overhead, there would be no Ge Hong...... So this setting is in line with the double standard in favor of the author~

[Note 2] "The Legend of the Immortals" really exists, and "Feitian" is apocryphal
