At noon, the soldiers in Baiting City were still immersed in the excitement of victory, but Guo Song rode away without looking back, he came to ask Zhao Tengjiao to help, and asked him to send someone to transfer the more than 300 taels of silver he had seized to Yinggu's family.

He will live in seclusion on the north shore of Xiutu Lake to practice martial arts, and he will not appear again, whether he is promoted to become rich or rewarded, it has nothing to do with him.

At the head of the city, the deputy general Zhang Sen looked at his back, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Li Dudu heard that he killed Zhu Xie Weiming, and dragged his sick body to grab the merit, but this little Taoist priest sneered at the glory and wealth in his hands, and walked away, what a great irony!" ”

Zhao Tengjiao also sighed, "Everyone has their own ambitions, don't be reluctant, I'm just sorry for this genius, if he wants to go back to Beijing with me, I will definitely recommend it to my father." ”

Zhang Sen was a little gloomy in his heart, the governor wanted to snatch away the great merit, and he wanted to arrest someone in the court, and he could also get the second merit, only he had nothing to do with the background, and in the end he was still a stepping stone.

Zhao Tengjiao understood his mood, patted his arm and said with a smile: "Don't worry, after I am transferred, at least this guard must be yours, if Li Dudu doesn't even agree to this, I will fight this lawsuit with him to the imperial court." ”

Zhang Sen was moved in his heart, and hurriedly expressed his heart, "Thank you General Zhao for your support, in March next year, when my uncle celebrates his birthday, he will definitely go to Beijing to celebrate his birthday." ”

Zhao Tengjiao laughed out loud.

Three months later, the imperial court decree arrived in Hexi, and Li Chengjue, the governor of Ganzhou, killed Zhu Xiwei, the heir of Shatuo Khan, and gave him the title of Duke of Zhangye County, and was promoted to the Ministry of Industry, and rewarded 10,000 horses of silk.

Bai Ting guarded and captured Zhao Tengjiao to make the next merit, the official was promoted to two levels, Feng Yunlu general, took over the post of governor of Ganzhou, and rewarded 5,000 horses of silk.

Zhao Tengjiao also expressed Zhang Sen's merits, and Zhang Sen also took over the position of Baiting Guard.

It can be said that everyone was happy, and no one in the court connected this great achievement with a young Taoist priest from Kongtong Mountain.

But the soldiers of the Hexi Army all knew that the person who really shot Zhu Xie was a young Taoist priest from Kongtong Mountain, and his magical archery technique has been passed down in the Hexi Army, and it was not until many years later that the soldiers of the Hexi Army knew that this Taoist priest was called Guo Song.

.........

In the blink of an eye, in February of the following year, the warmth of early spring swept the land of Longyou, but in the mountains and rivers of Longyou, the winter cold still did not go, and Kongtong Mountain was the same, until late March, the spring of Kongtong Mountain came completely.

Bai Yun Zhenren has been upset these days, and his master has been pressuring him constantly, forcing him to find the Lingshan Cave as soon as possible, but in the past three years, he has rummaged through every stone in Kongtong Mountain, and even the mouse hole has not been spared, but he can't find where the Lingshan Cave is?

"It's useless to force me to death, they have been looking for it for twenty years, haven't they found it the same?"

Bai Yunzhen was very angry in his heart, he raised his voice and complained: "In the past three years, how many Zixiao Daoists have broken their legs in order to find the Spirit Silence Cave, and even three people have fallen from the cliff, and the bones have not been found, what else should they do?" ”

Bai Ju Zhenren persuaded: "Senior brother, we also have to understand the anxiety of the master, the second master has been feathered, and the master is almost at the limit, and if they can't find the Spirit Silence Cave, their immortal cultivation will be a complete failure." ”

Bai Yun Zhenren didn't say anything, this is also a fact, three months ago, Zhang Xuanbao Heavenly Master finally couldn't hold on, he was feathered, his body was still sealed in the ice vault, and the master also showed signs that the limit was approaching, which meant that the master was also soon.

In fact, whether the three Heavenly Masters can cultivate and attain the Tao is also related to their vital interests, only by showing the incorruptible body to the imperial court, the imperial court will continue to canonize the real person behind him as the Heavenly Master, otherwise his dream of being a Heavenly Master will be shattered.

Bai Yun Zhenren took a few steps and asked another junior disciple, Bai Ling Zhenren, "Are you sure that Mu Zhenren has not appeared in Jingle Palace once in three years?" ”

Bailing Zhenren shook his head, "We planted eyeliner in Jingle Palace, since Mu Zhenren appeared once in Jingle Palace three years ago, he has disappeared since then, and he doesn't know where to go. ”

"Senior brother, why do you have to find Mu Zhenren?" The crowd asked, puzzled.

Bai Yun Zhenren hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "I might as well tell you, this is the result of the master's hexagram, Mu Zhenren has a close relationship with the Lingshan Cave, and the master suspects that Mu Zhenren is in the Lingshan Cave." ”

Everyone was stunned, and at this moment, a little Taoist boy ran to report, "Master, Heavenly Master, please you!" ”

Bai Yunzhen sighed, he had to go to training again!

Bai Yun Zhenren hurriedly came to the top of the Heavenly Temple, there are only two of the three Heavenly Masters left, Zhang Xuanbao Heavenly Master was feathered three months ago, and finally he didn't wait for the moment when the Spirit Silence Cave opened, and he didn't cultivate to the point where his physical body was not corrupted, so everyone had to temporarily seal his physical body in the ice vault.

Bai Yunzhen hurriedly walked to the door and knelt down, "Listen to Master's teachings quietly!" ”

After a while, Li Xuande Heavenly Master said slowly: "Your master has exhausted his mental strength and measured another hexagram, and the hexagram has turned around. ”

Bai Yun Zhenren was overjoyed, "Is Mu Zhenren going to appear?" ”

Li Xuande Heavenly Master said calmly: "Your master thinks that this hexagram should fall on Guo Song, you should know how to do it, go ahead!" ”

Bai Yun Zhenren was extremely confused in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask more, kowtowed three times, and hurried away.

After a while, Celestial Master Li Xuande asked, "Senior brother, do you still insist on it?" ”

After a while, Ge Yuntianshi's faint voice came, "I'm exhausted and can't see the results of the hexagram, but this is our last hope, I don't feel wrong, it must be Guo Song, he is back." ”

..........

Guo Song stored the war horse in the mule and horse shop in Kongtong Town, and consumed his only three taels of silver, which could be stored for as long as it lasted.

The moment he stepped on the mountain trail, he felt infinite emotion in his heart, and after three years of separation, he finally came back.

Compared with leaving three years ago, he only has one more bow and arrow, and there is also a piece of white and greasy jade like mutton fat around his waist, which is a real mutton fat jade, warm and delicate to the extreme, it is completely a handful of mutton fat, this kind of real mutton fat jade is extremely rare even in the Tang Dynasty, only the palace has it.

This piece of jade Guo Song was found from the centurion's waist bag, and he also regarded it as a treasure, and now it has become the only ornament on Guo Song's body, the gentleman Peiyu, of course, he also wants to have a piece of beautiful jade of his own.

Guo Song galloped all the way, and it only took half an hour to go up to Xiangshan, and in front of him was Qingxuguan, and the faster than him was Mengzi, who flapped its wings and went straight to its hometown.

'Chirp-'

Guo Song suddenly heard the rapid chirping of the fierce son on the top of the mountain, this was obviously something, he was startled, and accelerated his speed to the top of the mountain.

Running to the top of Cuiping Peak, Guo Song was also stunned, the peak was flat, their clear and void view was gone, only the lonely big tree remained, and Mengzi stood on the tree, looking at him with puzzled eyes.

Guo Song walked around, and he could vaguely see the soil foundation of the kitchen and bedroom, what happened? Their Taoist temple was razed to the ground, what about Master?

"Yes..... Senior Brother Guo Song? ”

As soon as Guo Song turned around, he saw a Taoist priest standing at the intersection, Guo Song recognized it at a glance, it was Li Mingdong of Jingle Palace, he hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Senior Brother Mingdong, what happened to Qingxuguan?" ”

"Hey! It's hard to say, Mu Zhenren left a message for you in Jingle Palace, you come with me! ”

"My master is in Jingle Palace?"

"I came once three years ago and never saw him again."

Guo Song instructed Mengzi a few words, and then followed Li Mingdong to Jingle Palace.

"Three years ago, it was the third day after the end of the martial arts meeting, the three old witches of the Yellow Crane Temple brought hundreds of Zixiao Taoist priests to your Qingxuguan with murderous spirits, and they couldn't find anyone, so they ordered all your things to be thrown off the cliff, and the house was razed to the ground, and it has been like this for three years."

Only then did Guo Song understand that it was still the senior brother who caused it, he eloped with Li Wenyu, and the three old witches of Huang Heguan vented their anger on Qingxuguan.

A murderous intent flashed in Guo Song's eyes, his home was destroyed, and this grudge could no longer be resolved.

Not long after, Guo Song came to Jingle Palace, Zhang Mingchun personally greeted him, their master Huo Lizhen began to retreat last year, Zhang Mingchun became the abbot of Jingle Palace, and took more than 30 junior disciples to practice martial arts in the Taoist temple.

"Senior Brother Guo Song, you have grown so tall." Zhang Mingchun looked at Guo Song in surprise.

"Senior Brother Mingchun, I haven't seen you for three years, I heard that you became the abbot, congratulations!"

Zhang Mingchun affectionately led Guo Song into the Taoist temple, although the Jingle Palace is far from being comparable with the Taoist temple of the Zixiao system, but it is also much more neat than the Qingxu Temple, although it is not big, but it is all built with blue bricks.

"Senior brother, let me tell you something first, I have stored a good horse in the mule and horse shop at the foot of the mountain, I don't think I can use it, and this horse will be given to Jingle Palace."

His horses can only be stored for ten days, and if they are in arrears for more than thirty days, the horses will belong to the mule and horse shop, and it is better to give them to the Jingle Palace as a personal favor than a cheap mule and horse shop.

Zhang Mingchun smiled slightly: "Coincidentally, I will go to the capital in a few days, to fulfill a wish of my master, I can ride your horse, and then hand over the horse to your senior brother, we don't need horses in Jingle Palace, he needs it." ”

Guo Song was overjoyed, "Have you seen my senior brother?" ”

Zhang Mingchun nodded, "The year before last, I went to the capital with my master and stayed with him for two nights. ”

"Then my third senior brother, have you seen it?"

Zhang Mingchun shook his head, "They have long left and don't know where to go." ”

Guo Song didn't ask any more, Zhang Mingchun invited him to the inner palace, and took out the ironwood sword from a box, "This is your master's deposit with us, let us hand it over to you, your master said, if you don't need it, then give it to your senior brother, and pass it on from generation to generation, in addition, your master hopes that you will have the opportunity to find out the origin of this ironwood sword." ”

Guo Song nodded silently, if he wanted to pass on this ironwood sword, he could only put it with the senior brother, and it would be easy for him to damage it.

"Where is my master now?"

Zhang Mingchun looked out, closed the door and said in a low voice: "Your master came to us three years ago to confess the iron and wood sword, and then disappeared, but he left you a message. ”

Zhang Chunming lowered his voice again, "He said, do you know where he is?" ”

Guo Song nodded, he understood, and asked strangely, "Why are you so careful?" ”

"You have to be careful, in the past three years, in order to find your master, Zixiao Heavenly Palace has made a fuss, and almost every Wild Daoist Temple has people who have been bought by them as eyeliners, and our Jingle Palace is definitely no exception."

"Why is Zixiao Heavenly Palace looking for my master?"

Zhang Mingchun bit his lip and squeezed out three words, "Spiritual Cave!" ”
