257 Qingliangguan (13 National Teachers)
The Taoist priest only knew that the person who lived was a noble person from Beijing, and when he saw that it was a woman, he thought it was a fool: how can a woman in this world not be nervous about her appearance, who doesn't want to stay young forever. He cautiously looked left and right, stretched out a slap gesture, Xu Yan exclaimed: "Five hundred taels? ”
"Shhhhh The Taoist priest hurriedly checked the movement around him, and then said with a smile: "This youth and beauty is a good thing that women in the world dream of, only five hundred taels, how can a noble person like a girl see it in his eyes." It's five thousand taels, not two prices. ”
"Five thousand taels? How can you guarantee that the elixir will really stay young forever? Besides, if you fool me with a fake elixir, I won't be able to tell the difference. Xu Yan pursed her lips to express disbelief.
The fat Taoist priest saw that there was a door, and stepped forward and whispered: "Don't worry, the utensils used by the Xuanming Daoist for alchemy are all made by the Great Inner Emperor, and even the box of Sheng Dan is made secretly, there is no outside, if I can get the pill, I will naturally bring the box, the noble person comes from the capital, and the exchange is either rich or expensive, and the vision is not within my reach, so I can naturally see the truth of the artifact." ”
Liansheng admired in her heart, this Taoist priest is really good at figuring out people's minds and is very good at talking, so she pretended to hesitate and said, "Okay, I'll give you fifty taels for the money first, and I'll send the rest when the pill arrives." ”
"One hundred taels!"
The Taoist priest held out a finger and spoke in a resolute tone.
Liansheng glanced at Xu Yan, and Xu Yan reluctantly took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels and handed it to the Taoist priest.
"Don't lie to me, if you trick me into taking this money and leaving, I will naturally have a way to rectify you."
"The trail is called Yuen Long. Noble rest assured, how many times has Xiaodao done such a business, there are nobles here, and I am reluctant to leave this cool view even if I am killed. ”
"Do you recognize Gu Yu?"
Liansheng asked suddenly.
"Gu Yu? Phew, the one who was unlucky on his back, where did the noble man hear about him? Don't mention him, he is an ominous person, if it weren't for Xuan Ming's protection, he would have been driven out and starved to death. ”
"Gu Yu is a disciple of Xuan Ming?"
"yes." The Taoist priest suddenly had a malicious smile on his face, saw that there was no one around, and whispered: "Actually, everyone says that Gu Yu is Xuanming's son. ”
"What? Gu Yu is Xuanming's son!
Lian Sheng and Xu Yan glanced at each other. Xu Yan took out another piece of silver and handed it to the Taoist priest. Pretending to be very gossipy, he asked, "Tell me, the national teacher still has a son?" “
The chief of Yuen Long smiled and picked up the silver, and whispered: "The nobles just listen to a story, they just want to say something." I have to wait until I return to the capital. ”
Lian Sheng and Xu Yan nodded repeatedly. The guards behind them pretended not to know anything, and their faces were expressionless.
That Yuen Long Taoist priest has been in Qingliang for so many years. Naturally, he is used to seeing rich and noble people, and knows that the guards of some rich and noble families are equivalent to wood, and they will not leak the master's private secrets. also said boldly with confidence: "You think, Xuan Ming never asks about mundane things, and only practices pills, why is he so stubborn in Gu Yu's affairs." He said that Gu Yu was picked up by him, and God knows where it came from. Gu Yu is cursed by God, and he looks different from others, I heard that those people in the Wuyi Sect are the same people who are cursed by God like Gu Yu, and such people can only bring disaster. Xuan Ming hid Gu Yu in his yard, and he didn't ask him to come out, isn't his own son able to treat him like that? I don't believe it. ”
The Taoist priest in Yuen Long pouted.
At this time, the Jiao altar was about to be in front of him, and the Taoist priest did not speak much, but put on a respectful appearance and invited Liansheng and others to enter.
This path Liansheng received the following important information from the words of the Taoist priest:
Xuan Ming is giving the royal pill practice; Gu Yu may be the son of Xuanming, and what is even more terrifying is that he may even be a descendant of the Wuyi Sect, and from here the dead Dragon Witch can also be a descendant of the Wuyi Sect.
If this is the case, then the pill practiced by Xuan Ming is very terrifying. His relationship with the Wuyi Sect is inextricably linked, once such an elixir enters the palace, it will be a big mess in the world!
Xu Yan also instantly realized the strict nature of the problem, took Liansheng's hand, and asked in a panic, "Master, what should we do?" ”
Liansheng patted the back of her hand for reassurance.
Because she saw Yu Shizhao standing in front of the Jiao altar, looking at herself with a smile.
As long as she sees Yu Shizhao, she is relieved, in her heart, he is omnipotent. With him fighting side by side with him, what is there to worry about?
Lian Sheng and Xu Yan walked on the Jiao altar and offered incense. At this time, Liansheng saw a Taoist who was similar to Xuanqing standing in the Jiao altar, and who also couldn't tell his age, with an excellent appearance, a detached and noble temperament, and no dust in his hand.
This person was wearing an ordinary Taoist robe, but he had a natural noble temperament. Could it be that this person is the Xuanming Dao Master who practiced instead of the emperor?
Sure enough, Yu Shizhao took Liansheng forward and introduced: "Dao Chief, this is Gu Ti's punishment. ”
"This is Daoist Xuanming."
"Gu Tixing is really talented and intelligent, Zhong Lingyuxiu." Xuanming Dao Chang took out a jasper accessory from his sleeve, handed it to Yu Liansheng and said: "This is a pendant commonly used by the poor road, it has been falling on the dust, the poor road and Gu are fateful, please accept the punishment." ”
Xuanqing stood not far away, looking very surprised.
This Xuan Ming never asked about the mundane things in the view, but today he suddenly came to the Jiao altar and gave the jade pendant on his dust to a woman, why is this? Was he just courting the King in disguise?
Liansheng took the jade pendant, which was a mischievous monkey holding a peach. Liansheng hurriedly thanked him, and Xuan Ming smiled and nodded.
Yu Shizhao saw that Xuan Ming showed favor to Liansheng, he was very happy, Xuan Ming practiced for the emperor, his words could affect the emperor's judgment, although he Yu Shizhao and the emperor were the biological father and son, but the heavenly family had no family affection, and the moment his identity was made public, he had already put the shackles of the monarch and ministers outside the father-son relationship.
Xu Yan suddenly said on the side: "Dao Chief, is Gu Yu your disciple?" ”
"Does this girl know Gu Yu?"
Lian Sheng gently tugged on Xu Yan's sleeve, she didn't want to startle the snake so quickly.
But Xu Yan has already said it, and she can't express herself to avoid the topic, which will arouse Xuan Ming's suspicions.
"Yes, today a little Taoist boy helped us buy vegetarian dim sum and invited him to eat dim sum, and he said that he would bring the jujube paste dim sum back to Gu Yu, and then he knew." Liansheng explained.
"Oh, that must be Won-ho. He has the best relationship with Gu Yu, and he also studied in my yard, so he is a good boy. Xuan Ming bowed slightly. Liansheng paid attention, his face was very gentle when he said Gu Yu, and there was a smile in his eyes, which showed that he really loved his disciple.
"I heard that Little Master Gu Yu has some diseases." Xu Yan said again.
Yu Shizhao frowned when he heard this, and couldn't help but scold: "Xu Yan......"
Xuan Ming waved his hand and said: "It's okay, this girl must be from Cao Guogong's family, I have a lot of contacts with Ling Zun in the capital, and looking at you is like seeing a nephew." Gu Yu, this child was picked up by me, there is no disease, but congenital deficiency, it is a little different from other children, I can still protect him in my lifetime, so I can only do my best, I don't want him to bear the impermanence of fate too early, and I never let him walk in the view, so there will be some rumors. He's a good boy. ”
"The Taoist is merciful." Liansheng didn't look at Xuan Ming's expression like he was pretending, he should really love Gu Yu, so is he really Gu Yu's father?
"What's wrong with you two? In front of the Taoist chief, he said that his apprentice was sick. Back at the residence, Yu Shizhao couldn't help but ask.
Liansheng retreated left and right, ordered Xu Yan to close the door, and explained the situation in a low voice.
After hearing this, Yu Shizhao's eyebrows furrowed into a pimple, he gently tapped the table with his fingers, stood up after a while, and said, "Do you suspect that Xuan Ming is a remnant of the Wuyi Sect?" ”
"Yes, and I suspect that the Dragon Witch's death had something to do with him. He may even be the murderer of Wu's mother and daughter ten years ago. ”
"But why did he kill the daughter of a village woman?"
Lian Sheng's brain opened at this moment: "What if it wasn't just one woman, but many women?" Maybe it's for practice? Or ......"
Her eyes lit up: "Alchemy." ”
"Wow......" Xu Yan, who was drinking tea, spit out a sip of tea: "Master, can you give a warning before you say such a heavy and disgusting thing, you almost choked me to death." (To be continued......)
