Chapter Eighty-Seven: Heavy Snow is Coming

Walking out of the main hall, the mountain wind blew the coolness of the forest, the sky was dark, and countless lanterns lit up all over the mountain, adding a bit of hazy mystery to the scenery of this superb sea of clouds, Xu You exhaled softly, and shivered involuntarily.

"Lin Saijiu, are you okay?" Ban Yuxing asked with concern.

Xu You shook his head, tightened his shirt, put his hands into his sleeves, and wiped the sweat stains from his palms. His move was really risky, you must know that Han Yuanzhong is not an ordinary state official, but a henchman directly under the Great Sacrificial Wine of Heming Mountain, and if he is released, he can at least serve as the sacrificial wine of a certain Zhongzhi or Xiazhi. Generally speaking, the various spiritual officials of Heming Mountain are the reserve cadres of the Heavenly Master Dao, and the manpower and material resources spent on cultivating each person are not a small amount, so he forced Sun Guan to kill him in public, which not only has a bad impact, but also if he is not careful, it is likely to harm himself!

But Xu You had no choice!

If you want to stay in Heming Mountain justifiably, this is the quickest and least suspicious way, although there is a bit of limelight, erect an enemy, but the enemy of the enemy, is a friend, is there more simple and clear than this way to make friends?

At present, Fan Changyi is the buffer zone between Sun Guan and the great sacrificial wines, ranking first, with the most power, and a bit of a transcendent taste of other sacrificial wines. This man can be welcomed and used, but he must not be offended.

Yin Changsheng and Zhang Changye disagreed with Han Changce, this disagreement has been semi-public, and both parties are too lazy to cover up and maintain the apparent brotherhood and brotherhood. These two people can get closer, and even try to gain their trust, and if necessary, they can take the initiative to attack Han Changce in exchange for their help and some useful information.

As for Wei Chang'an, Xu You decided to stay away from him!

"Lin Saijiu, go this way, I'll take you to the place where you stay to rest!"

Ban Yuxing led Xu You across the Yingxian Bridge, a few stars hung in the sky, but there were more than a dozen cold and quiet lights floating on both sides of the white jade bridge in the sea of clouds, Xu You reached out and touched it, only to find that it was a hanging bead!

Hanging pearls, which is commonly known as the night pearl, although later generations believe that the night pearl is fluorite, the reserves are huge, and the value is not high, but in ancient times, this kind of thing that will shine at night is beyond people's cognition, so it is valuable.

The stones installed on the white jade bridge are relatively small, and should not be as valuable as large hanging beads, but they are definitely luxurious.

Sun Guan, as a Heavenly Master, has already left behind the teachings of the Mengwei Qing Covenant, and has gone up and down, so you can imagine what the Heavenly Master's Dao has rotted inside and out!

During the period of temporary stay in Heming Mountain, Fan Changyi instructed Ban Yuxing to be in charge of Xu You's daily life. For three days in a row, Sun Guan and Xu You met every day, and talked about all kinds of Taoist classics since Zhang Daoling's creation, combining theory with practice, which gave him great inspiration and awe. The reason why the Heavenly Master is a Heavenly Master is naturally beyond the reach of ordinary people, but Xu You, with the knowledge of the two worlds, is countless times ahead of this era, and occasionally has different opinions, which also makes Sun Guan feel deafening and deaf, and calls it Jinshi Liangyan.

In the evening of this day, Zhang Changye paid a visit to Perineum Changsheng, and said that Xu You and the Heavenly Master were very happy, and his words showed envy. Yin Changsheng smiled: "Senior brother, isn't he still jealous of that little child?" Lin Tong is just a sword in the hands of the Heavenly Master, and he must often wipe it when he wants to kill the enemy, but when the enemy dies, he will inevitably be put on the shelf. ”

Zhang Changye said abruptly: "The Heavenly Master has not been able to retreat in the past few years, if it weren't for the white thief making trouble and the Dao Gate dying, he might not be willing to take care of these mundane affairs." I'm afraid that it won't be long before the Heavenly Master turns into an immortal, and Heming Mountain will change masters......"

Yin Changsheng shook his head and said, "Why bother thinking about uncertain things? The Heavenly Master is in his prime, and his body is healthy, even if he is feathered, it is not a matter of five years or ten years. Fan Changyi is favored now, what about five years from now, what about ten years from now? Who is the new owner of Heming Mountain, I'm afraid even the Heavenly Master is not sure! ”

"Fan Changyi is kind and muddy, and he seems to be fair, but in fact, everyone is not convinced, how can the Heavenly Master not know? If the position of the Heavenly Master is really passed on to Fan Changyi, within ten months, the Daomen will be chaotic. And that Lin Tong is the youngest, in just one year, he has done Yizhou Zhi sacrificial wine from the Taoist, and a few days ago he killed Han Yuanzhong in public to appease Lin Tong, the Heavenly Master cultivated so hard, and he appreciated it, you say, will it ......?"

Yin Changsheng laughed and said, "You, Lin Dao's subtlety and eloquence are indeed commendable, but there is a shortcoming, but it blocks the possibility of him ascending to the throne of the Heavenly Master. ”

Zhang Changye leaned closer and said, "I want to hear it!" ”

"He doesn't know martial arts, how can a weak scholar lead a million people in the Heavenly Master's Dao?"

Zhang Changye smiled and said, "I thought there were shortcomings...... Today's lord doesn't know martial arts, doesn't he still control the extreme sea and dominate the Quartet? Like you, Senior Brother, you abandoned your martial arts many years ago and joined the Heavenly Master Dao, and the prestige of the white-haired Zhu Ti over the years is even better than in the past, if you take over as the Heavenly Master, I will definitely agree. Also, there are as many as four Heavenly Masters of the Daomen Sect who don't know martial arts. Senior brother, not everyone can get a glimpse of the martial arts realm and be promoted to the great grandmaster. If all the people are convinced and the people of the Tao return to their hearts, Lin Tong becoming a heavenly master is not an illusory delusion! ”

"It's a different time!" Yin Changsheng gently brushed the dust off the sleeves of his robe and said, "After a hundred years of mutual temptation between Buddhism and Taoism, it has reached the time of saber rattling, and the danger brought to the Dao Sect by a Heavenly Master who does not know martial arts is far greater than the benefits he can bring. The Heavenly Master is far-sighted and must understand this, so instead of suffering from gains and losses, it is better to concentrate on practice, and the person who will take over as the Heavenly Master in the future must be the one closest to the Great Grandmaster! ”

Zhang Changye was thoughtful.

Sending Zhang Changye away, Yin Ming walked out of the room, his handsome face was a little soft, and he said with a smile: "Zhang Da Sacrificial Wine worries about the seat of the Heavenly Master Palace all day and night, and he doesn't look at what he looks like?" Even if the people of Heming Mountain die, I'm afraid it won't be his turn! ”

Yin Changsheng looked solemn, got up and pushed open the door, looked at the lights under the mountain, and said, "Zhang Changye is not a fool, he is so jealous of Lin Tong, what wind should he heard...... Could it be that the Heavenly Master really intends to support this boy of unknown origin? ”

Yin Ming walked behind him, gently pinched Yin Changsheng's shoulder, and said, "First Ning Changyi who suddenly appeared, then Lin Tong, I don't know who will be behind...... Master, could it be that the Heavenly Master is tired of the current open and secret battles between several great sacrificial wines in Heming Mountain, and is ready to promote new people to curb you old people......

Yin Changsheng didn't make a sound for a long time, and sighed: "Heavenly Master's heart is like the sea, I really can't figure it out. Ning Changyi suddenly became a big sacrificial wine, and he was put out to take charge of the governance of Yangzhou, and I heard that his subordinates were able to produce a large number of people, and the five maids of the palace Shangjiao Zhengyu were all among the best. And this Lin Tong is even more prosperous, and he easily pocketed Yizhou Zhi, plus the Yangping Zhi led by the Heavenly Master, there is no place for a few of us to interfere in Shangsanzhi. And the most terrifying thing is that characters like Ning Changyi and Lin Tong don't know how many ...... are hidden in the hands of the Heavenly Master."

Yin Ming's hand slowly went down, leaned from his waist to the front, and touched it along the placket of his clothes, his voice suddenly became charming, and he said in a low voice: "Ning Changyi's female streamer, Lin Tong's gossiper, if the Heavenly Master really wants to rely on these people to balance the great sacrificial wine, not to mention that Zhang Changye will not be caught with his hands tied, and Han Changce will not sit still, even Fan Changyi is afraid that he will have two hearts......"

Yin Changsheng's ruddy baby-like face showed a comfortable expression, pulled Yin Ming, pressed him against the window, lifted his robe, took off his dirty clothes, and climbed up with his waist up.

Both of them groaned at the same time.

The moonlight moved west, and Xu You stood at the window, his body hidden in the shadows, looking at the Heming Mountain shrouded in darkness. He entered the tiger's den alone, except for Sun Guan's attention, there was almost nothing to rely on, and he met Sun Guan every day in the past few days, which was basically recognized, and then he had to start acting to find the whereabouts of the "Lingbao Five Rune Sutra".

But Heming Mountain is so big, where to start?

Then on the seventh day, Xu You closed his door and began to write the third volume of "Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing", saying that it was the third volume, but in fact, he copied and pasted the content of the later "Lao Tzu's Ascension Sutra", just to refute the content of the "Great Empowerment Sutra".

"Ban Gong General!"

Ban Yuxing pushed the door in response and said, "Sacrificial wine calls me?" ”

Xu You got up, put down the pen, stretched his waist, and said with a wry smile: "Wensi is exhausted, and sitting dry is not a way, if you have nothing to do, can you accompany me for a walk in the mountains?" Speaking of which, I have been in the mountain for so long, and I have never seen the fairy posture of the southwest of the crane song! ”

"It's just a light rain today......"

"It's okay, watching the mountain scenery in the rain is wonderful!"

Ban Yuxing has been in Heming Mountain for more than ten years, knows a lot about the grass and trees here, circling along the residence to the west, sometimes up, sometimes down, to the pavilion, platform, building, pavilion, Xuan, pavilion, corridor are all as good as a few treasures. He speaks wittily, and the local allusions and customs are quite amusing. Xu You made a very interested appearance to deal with it, and suddenly saw a cave not far away, stopped, pointed and asked, "I heard that there are twenty-four caves in Heming Mountain, this is one of them?" ”

Ban Yuxing said with a smile: "I don't know about the sacrificial wine, the twenty-four holes are mysterious, and there should be twenty-four solar terms, which are usually hidden, and only every one section, will a hole be exposed!" ”

"Oh? I heard that the cave is full of spiritual energy, and meditating on the cultivation of Taoism in it, one day is the work of several years elsewhere, I don't know if it's true or not? ”

This may be an exaggeration, but the twenty-four caves are unfathomable, or cool, or sultry, or foggy all day long, or heavy snow, you can enter the cave for several days, meditate and nourish your qi, and it will be beneficial! It's just that there is danger in the cave, and those who enter the cave can only walk more than 20 zhang, otherwise, they will never find the way back. ”

Ban Yuxing mentioned the twenty-four holes, his expression seemed to yearn and fear, and said: "I have heard people say in private, this cave can not only lead to the heavens, but also to the secluded mansion, whether it is to become an immortal or a ghost, it depends on the individual's creation and luck, so the heavenly master has already had a strict order, if it is not for the law, who dares to trespass, it will not matter if he kills." ”

"So weird? That's still forget it, my body can't even beat a stronger child, and there is no other person to die in this hole, and my life matters, stay away! Xu You joked to himself.

Ban Yuxing has followed Xu You for the past few days, but he likes this sacrificial wine more and more, there is no shelf, and it is not difficult to serve, and he is even more approachable when he laughs, and said: "The sacrificial wine is deeply valued by the heavenly master, if you want to enter the cave to have a look, you can give it to the master of tomorrow and send someone to accompany you inside." In a few days, it will be a heavy snow season, and the entrance of the cave is still unknown, so make some preparations for the sacrificial wine in advance! ”

Xu You nodded, he naturally calculated that the heavy snow was coming, so he chose to go out to visit the mountain with Ban Yuxing today, so that he had an excuse to ask Sun Guan to enter the cave for a look.

He remembered Ning Xuangu's words, the most mysterious place in Heming Mountain, one is twenty-four holes, and the other is the ghost well. It is rumored that the ghost well is in the Heavenly Master Palace, except for Sun Guan, no one has ever seen it, so only start with the twenty-four holes.

Heavy snow, heavy snow,

May the snow bloom and spring come!
