At the dawn of the morning, a round of fiery morning sun jumped out of the mountain lightly, and the dazzling light instantly sprinkled all over the mountains.

Gao Shun and Nan Ying stand side by side on the top of the mountain in the dock fort, looking at the rolling mountains in the distance.

Gao Shun sighed: "Brother Nan, although I know your talent very well, I still have to say a word. More than a month has passed since the incident, and ten waves of sentinels have returned nine waves, but there has still been no movement in the Heavenly Master Dao and the Taiping Dao. Your suspicious plan has worked! ”

Nan Ying stretched his waist and said casually: "Actually, it's nothing, but make full use of the psychology of deceit between them!" If it's just us, the Taiping Dao, and the Heavenly Master Dao tripartite forces, maybe they will immediately join forces to eradicate us, and then sit down and slowly divide the benefits. However, if there is an additional mysterious force, they will inevitably have suspicion under unknown circumstances, and no one dares to act rashly under mutual constraints, lest they become the target of public criticism. All we have to do is do our best to muddy the waters and make the situation difficult to grasp. ”

He said and grinned: "It's weird! If others praise me, I think it's flattery. However, every time my eldest brother praises me, I am very useful! ”

Gao Shun couldn't help laughing and scolded: "You kid doesn't know how to be modest, look at your look!" ”

The two laughed for a while, and Nan Ying said, "Big brother, how is the mining going?" ”

Gao Shun said distressedly: "According to Brother Yang's map, we have found all the mineral deposits, but we have too few people, and there are only a few people who are proficient in mining, and the mining work is surprisingly slow, not to mention that we have to transport it back to practice forging!" Alas! This is really looking at Jin Shan in a hurry! ”

Nan Ying couldn't help but be in a daze: "I haven't thought about this aspect!" Unfortunately, I don't know anything about this, and it seems that in the future we will have to find some skilled craftsmen from outside the mountain! Slow now, it's better than nothing! But it must be ensured that the people sent are trustworthy people. ”

Gao Shun nodded and said: "Don't worry about this, they are all members of my Gao family, and there is no problem in terms of loyalty!" Kindness! There is another matter, you asked me to send someone to investigate the mountains near Luoyang, and it has been reported this morning! ”

Nanying Daxi: "How? ”

Gao Shun sighed: "They searched for 10 days according to the direction you instructed, and visited the mountain people again, but they found nothing!" ”

Nanying was like a basin of cold water on his head, silent. Could it be that his arrival has changed history, so his plan to use the time machine in the spaceship to return to the modern era to rescue the "dragon" has come to naught.

The bloodied figure of the dragon and the eyes of his comrades in the base flashed in his heart, and he clenched his fists in pain, and all kinds of emotions of indignation, unwillingness, and despair hit him together.

Gao Shun looked at Nan Ying, and couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, he could see that Nan Ying was burdened with too many things that ordinary people could not bear, which made Nan Ying sometimes have a dual personality, sometimes he was indifferent to life and death, and even a little numb, and sometimes he was as fragile as a child.

Gao Shun pressed Nanying's shoulders with both hands and said, "There is one thing I have always wanted to ask you!" ”

Nanying said blankly: "Big brother, you say!" ”

Gao Shun's eyes went straight to the bottom of Nanying's heart: "If, I mean if, you can successfully return to the future, what are your plans!" ”

Nanying said without thinking: "Of course, I saved my dad immediately!" ”

"And after that?" Gao Shun said slowly, "Have you ever thought about it?" What do you do when you fulfill this wish? ”

Nan Ying was shocked, he had never thought about this question, since he came to the Han Dynasty, he has been deeply hidden in his heart the great pain of losing the "dragon", but he has been tormenting him all the time, so returning to the modern era to change this tragedy is regarded by him as the most direct purpose, and then how it has been ignored by him intentionally or unintentionally.

Gao Shun's questioning forced him to face up to this question, will he stay in modern times? That seemingly peaceful era was full of deceit, and human society seemed to be constantly progressing, but only ugliness was hidden under the cloak of civilization, and the struggle between people never stopped, even more cruel and bloody than face-to-face fighting. There, apart from the "dragon", he has no nostalgia, and he doesn't even have a friend who can be worth opening his heart to.

Friend? He looked at Gao Shun, the man he called his eldest brother, who was waiting for his answer. From the eyes staring at him, Nanying saw that that emotion is called brotherhood, that trace of eagerness is honesty, and that little hope is retention.

The scenes of more than a month have all surfaced in my mind, the delicate and kind HD Er, the bold and straightforward Fang Yue, the calm and calm high-speed rail, as well as Gao Feng, Yang Kun, Zheng Sanshan...... This beautiful valley is a warm and harmonious family, and I am also a member of this family, can I really give up all this? Back to that brutal modern society?

Nan Ying felt the burning heat in his heart, and the long-term depression seemed to be melting away, and his gaze gradually became firm.

He smiled and said, "I've figured it out!" My father raised me and raised me, and died for me, this kindness is very high, and I must repay it! When I settle him down, I'll be back, and you and my brother can walk side by side in this troubled world!" ”

Gao Shunhu's body shook violently, the glint in his eyes flashed, he stretched out his hand to put his arm around Nan Ying's shoulder, laughed long, and only stopped laughing for a long time: "Good brother!" Don't worry, big brother will do his best to help you find that spaceship as soon as possible! You should go early and come back early! Ha ha! ”

Nan Ying couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said in his heart, you are so easy to find that alien spaceship, I have neither high technology nor superpowers, how do I know when these aliens will come to the earth, it seems that there is a wait.

Zhang Jiao slowly woke up from his deep stupor, he didn't open his eyes, he looked up slightly, letting the fiery red sun shine on his face, his thin face was even more angular, and his whole body seemed to be bathed in divine light. Although he didn't open his eyes, he could clearly feel everything around him, the sprouts of grass in the distance were trying to break through the ground, a group of mountain rats were competing for food, and the heartbeat of the believers nearby, everything seemed to be under control. He couldn't help but let out a long breath, and a smile appeared on his lips, which was truly wonderful.

This is the second awakening he has awakened in two years, and the last time he went to Yecheng in person to hold a preparatory meeting. For the past two years, he has been sitting on the cliff, concentrating on cultivating the supreme law of the Taoist sect, the Taiping Qing Lingshu.

Twenty years ago, he was still an idle young man, but an adventure changed the fate of his life. On that day, he went into the mountain to collect medicine, suddenly heard a movement in the air, looked up and saw a humanoid light and shadow in the air, he was shocked and almost fell off the cliff, unexpectedly an invisible force, slowly lifted him up, and at the same time imprinted a strange text in his mind.

He never believed in God or the existence of God, but at this moment, how could he dare to ignore miracles despite what he had seen and experienced with his own eyes? He bowed down to the ground with infinite devotion and pleaded with the gods for salvation.

To this day, he can still recall verbatim the reply of the gods to him that day: "You can call me Nanhua, today I have a fate, I will give you a strange book, if he can practice well, he can meet again!" Then I will take you out of the air! ”

Since then, Zhang Jiao has become a fanatical Taoist believer, he has devoted himself to cultivation for ten years, combining his inner understanding with the teaching of the gods, and then referring to the Taoist "Su Jing", creating the legal code "Taiping Qing Lingshu", and creating a branch of Taiping Dao, and in ten years, Taiping Dao has become the world's largest faction.

Zhang Liang, Zhang Bao and Ma Yuanyi, who were not far behind them, looked from the side, and they all had the heart of worship, and they didn't dare to see through the atmosphere, and they stood with their hands down.

After a long time, Zhang Jiao's low, soft and magnetic voice finally sounded: "What's the matter?" ”

Zhang Liang took a step forward and said respectfully: "Great sage and good teacher!" This morning, I received a letter and a gift from Heavenly Master Zhang Xiu! We have not exchanged letters with the Heavenly Master for several years, so the foolish brother and others thought that something big must happen, so they rashly disturbed the retreat of the great sage and good teacher. ”

Zhang Jiao still closed his eyes and said, "Read!" ”

Zhang Liang took out the letter and read it halfway, his expression had changed greatly, and Zhang Bao was even more angry, but Ma Yuanyi's face was still as usual, and he was not shocked.

After finishing the recitation, the three of them did not dare to say more, and looked at Zhang Jiao quietly, and for a while, only the wind on the cliff swept by, blowing everyone's clothes fiercely.

Zhang Jiao slowly stood up from the stone platform on the edge of the cliff, put his hands behind his back, and said calmly: "What do you think about this?" Let's talk about it! ”

Zhang Bao said angrily: "My Taiping Dao three protectors and a Qu Shuai were all folded in the barren mountains, this is really an unprecedented shame!" Please issue an edict from the great sage and good teacher, and allow me to personally lead the masters of the sect to level this mountain in one fell swoop and regain the treasure! ”

Zhang Liang hurriedly said: "No! The second brother's move is definitely not feasible! ”

Zhang Bao said: "What! Why not? ”

Zhang Liang sighed: "This matter is by no means simple, what kind of people are Heavenly Master Dao Zhang Xiu and Zhang Lu?" They have been fighting with us for many years, and although they are at a disadvantage, we still can't extend our power into Yiliang Erzhou! Now he took the initiative to show weakness and said that he would assist us in seizing the treasure in the mountain, which is a big problem! ”

Zhang Bao took a deep breath and suppressed his anger: "Please say it to the third brother!" ”

Zhang Liang smiled bitterly: "Zhang Xiu mentioned in the letter that there has been a third-party force involved, so there are so many possibilities, one is that there is indeed a powerful mysterious force that also wants to get the treasure in the mountain, and the Heavenly Master Dao and our side were defeated in the first round, and the Heavenly Master Dao is unwilling to defeat it with strength, so he simply shows weakness and gives in, and wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, so that the fisherman can benefit; The second is that the Heavenly Master Dao has now obtained control of this mountain, what third-party forces say is completely their trick to confuse the public, just to test us, if we show the state of being beyond the reach of the whip, they can rest assured that they will monopolize the treasure, but if we attack from afar, but lose the right time, place and people, they can calmly set up a trap and lead us in, it is really vicious! ”

Zhang Liang deserves to be the No. 2 person in Taiping Dao, and he guessed most of the intentions of the Heavenly Master Dao in a short instant.

Zhang Bao was shocked and said, "Is Zhang Xiu so clever? ”

Then anger swelled up: "In this case, we will not give up the treasure to others!" ”

Zhang Liang sneered: "Although we can't attack in a big way, we can't bear this breath no matter what!" ”

He turned to Zhang Jiao and bowed and said: "Great Sage and Good Master, according to my wishes, we can send a small number of highly skilled killers to find out the truth first, and then delay their progress in digging gold by means of assassination, attack and harassment, etc., so as to slowly figure it out, if it can't work, we can also widely spread the news of the gold hidden in the mountains, so that the Heavenly Master Dao will become the target of everyone!" Hum! At that time, I was afraid that they would not be able to sleep! ”

Zhang Bao's eyes lit up and said, "The third brother has a good plan!" ”

A smile appeared on Zhang Jiao's face, and he turned his head to look at Ma Yuanyi: "Yuanyi, I want to hear your opinion!" ”

Ma Yuanyi obviously struggled for a moment, and hesitated: "The arrangement of the third uncle is very appropriate......

Zhang Liang said unhappily: "Yuanyi, you have always taught me a think tank, and now the great sage and good teacher ask you, if you have any ideas, you can say it directly, everything should be based on the overall situation, are you a person with a narrow temperament?" ”

Ma Yuanyi bowed down and said, "The third uncle taught me a lesson!" That Yuanyi said boldly, I think that with the current situation, it is not appropriate to fight openly or covertly! ”

Zhang Bao's face changed and he was about to open his mouth, but when he saw Zhang Liang's sharp eyes sweeping, he had to swallow his words back.

Ma Yuanyi continued to say in a deep voice: "According to the information I have received, although all the activities of my Taiping Dao are currently underground, the fact that I have hundreds of thousands of believers cannot be concealed, which has aroused a high degree of vigilance in the court. Situ Yang Ci, Sikong Zhang Ji, Weiwei Liu Kuan and others have successively written to the court, asking the court to weaken the power of our Taiping Dao on the grounds of detaining the homeless, and Liu Tao of the imperial history is even more blunt about wanting to arrest Shizun and the two uncles, which is really a dangerous signal! ”

Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao lost their voices together: "What! ”

Zhang Bao exclaimed: "Could it be that the news of our incident has leaked!" ”

Zhang Liang was even more angry: "Yuanyi, why don't you report such a big event early!" ”

Ma Yuanyi smiled bitterly: "I also just received the secret letter from Xu Feng, who is the middle servant yesterday, how dare I delay for half a moment?" This didn't take overnight! ”

Zhang Jiao waved his hand to stop Zhang Liang: "Yuanyi, you go on!" ”

"Yes!" Ma Yuanyi nodded and said, "According to Xu Feng, the court has not yet learned the news of our incident two years later, but because our sect is too powerful, it wants to prevent trouble. ”

Zhang Liang and Zhang Baoju breathed a sigh of relief.

Ma Yuanyi sighed: "The third uncle also said just now, everything should be based on the overall situation, in the current situation, how can we still carry out any action? I'm afraid that the slightest disturbance will immediately attract the encirclement and suppression of the official army! ”

Zhang Bao couldn't help but sigh: "Not bad! It seems that I have to give up that treasure mountain first! ”

Ma Yuanyi smiled and said, "Second uncle, don't worry! As long as we endure it for another two years, the world will be at our fingertips after that, and we still care about a small gold mountain? ”

A grim smile flashed on his face: "What's more, no matter who is digging for mineral deposits, gold will never fly with wings, and they are just marrying us!" When the time comes, we will be able to recover all the principal with interest! ”

"Good! You can say that again! Zhang Jiao's eyes flashed with approval, "It is worthy of being my first disciple, who knows how to forbear at the right time, plan and act, and live up to my years of teaching!" In the future, the third brother will succeed me, and the second brother will ascend the throne, you can deserve the position of the third duke! ”

This time, the three of them lost their voices in unison: "What? ”

Zhang Liang said in disbelief: "The eldest brother is saying that I will inherit the Taoist system, and the third brother will be the emperor?" But then big brother, you? ”

Zhang Bao and Ma Yuanyi were also stunned.

Zhang Jiao said casually: "You heard it right! That's what I mean! ”

The three of them knelt down together and said in unison: "Never! The great virtuous and good teacher Ze was born by the common people, admired by all the people, we should only follow the side of the great virtuous and good teacher, how dare to have a wrong thought! ”

Zhang Jiao was silent for a long time before saying, "Get up!" Are you tempting? Well, I'll tell you the truth today! ”

The three of them looked at each other, and then they stood up, still looking incredulous.

Zhang Jiao said proudly: "You can know that I have practiced the ninth chapter of the Heavenly Dao in the Taiping Qing Collar Book the day before yesterday!" ”

The three of them shook violently, and Zhang Liang said in a trembling voice: "Chapter 9 of the Heavenly Dao? The art of asking the sky? The great sage and good teacher have already been trained? ”

Zhang Jiao's eyes finally flashed with a frenzy that could not be concealed: "Not bad! I finally turned my mind into consciousness and made it wander in the void, and asked the heavens! It was at that moment ......"

"I feel the oracle!"

Zhang Liang and the three of them knelt down again, only to feel that their hearts were beating like thunder, and their mouths were dry, and after a while, Ma Yuanyi said in a dumb voice: "Dare to ask Master, what does the oracle say?" ”

A smile appeared on the side of his mouth, and he leaned over and said softly: "It was a kind of pure spiritual induction, but I clearly felt that God said that within two years, he would come to the world and take me out of the sky to explore the mysteries between heaven and earth!" You finally understand why I made such an arrangement! ”

After saying that, his expression turned cold, and he said solemnly: "Spread the law!" ”

The three of them finally woke up and said prostrately: "Obey the instructions of the great sage and good teacher!" ”

Zhang Jiao looked up at the sky, and the divine light in his eyes burst out, as if he wanted to see through the endless void: "The matter of Baoshan is over, from today, Zhang Liang officially took over all the teaching affairs of Taiping Dao, Zhang Bao was in charge of military affairs, secretly trained the soldiers, Yuan Yi immediately rushed to Luoyang, and contacted Feng Xu and Xu Feng, the middle servants, to plan a big thing!" ”

He smiled and said, "From now on, I will meditate and retreat, and I will not pay attention to mundane things." But don't worry, I'll get out of the level before I break through the sky and help you clear the obstacles first! ”
