When they were separated from Lingyou, Wang Du asked Master, "Sounds like these monks are good!" ”

Yun Xuansu said: "Zen Buddhism only respects the classics, stresses epiphany, if the monk Fahai is not enlightened in a few days, his head will be hit with a stick, this is called a stick drink, if you go to be a nun, your face will be rounder - be rounded by a stick!" ”

"Is it to be beaten?" Wang Dudu saw the master nodding, and the spirit of the spirit shivered, and suddenly felt that Zen Buddhism was so cruel.

I almost fell for the old monk just now!

Sure enough, what Daddy said was right, it was very dangerous outside, so you had to follow Master......

They followed Wang Jufang back to the place where they were competing, which had been cleaned up, and the soldiers who were selected sat separately from the Jianghu people who were not selected.

Today's weather is fine, the blue sky is like washing, the lake water is clear, the grass is green, Yun Xuansu is sitting on the mat that has been laid out, and it is quite a bit of a feeling of going on an outing.

Bamboo strips were nailed to the ground around them, white cloth was tied around them to block the wind, and the banner of the Hunan military envoy was erected in front of them.

The housekeeper Wang Zhongnu came over and whispered that Li Cangtou was missing, but Yun Xuansu didn't care and nodded to indicate that he knew.

Wang Jufang ordered the wine and food to be given, and the banquet was officially held.

Yun Xuansu and the others were on higher ground, overlooking the people below, only to see these people raising their sea bowls and drinking bitterly, in a variety of postures and strange shapes.

There are those who pick their feet while eating, and there are those who fight for meat, and some people drink too much, and when they enter the arena, they strip off their arms and corners to play, and everyone else is attracted, and they come over with wine bowls, and they all watch and applaud.

Wang Jufang also gave a bounty to the winner, which stimulated these people to scream, and many people were itching and competing in the end.

Deng Pei also played shirtless, and soon after, because there was no opponent, he shouted loudly and let four or five people go up together, but they couldn't even drop him!

"Congratulations to the slave uncle, this Deng Pei is really a bear and tiger man, and he has the courage of Fan Xu!" Yun Xuansu raised his glass and saluted.

Wang Jufang was overjoyed and rewarded Deng Pei heavily.

Deng Pei got the bounty, grinned and laughed, and held it up to show it, which was quite a show off.

Someone below suddenly shouted: "Deng Zhen is unparalleled in martial arts, and he will definitely capture Guo Shangzao alive when he goes to Hengshan!" ”

Deng Pei laughed, and there was a burst of cheers from the crowd, shouting in unison: "Capture Guo Shangzao alive!" ”

Wang Jufang looked at Yun Xuansu, his face was embarrassed, and said, "These little cubs are talking nonsense!" ”

Yun Xuansu smiled silently.

Wang Dudu suddenly let out a soft sigh behind the master.

She saw a fast boat galloping on the lake, and a person wearing a Tai Chi cloud pattern Taoist robe stood on the bow of the boat, and the placket of his clothes fluttered in the wind, floating like a fairy.

He was burly, wearing a hat, the brim of his hat pressed his eyebrows, he couldn't see his face clearly, he carried a sword, and he stood with a long stick in his hand.

Someone on the shore exclaimed: "It's the little fairy of Nanyue!" ”

"I know the one who operates the boat in the back, it is the senior brother of the little fairy, named Cao Shouzhen!"

Yun Xuansu raised his eyes and saw that the person who was operating the boat was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, of medium height, thin and thin, also shirtless, and was at the helm.

The boat has no sails and no oars, but the speed is extremely fast, Cao Shouzhen is half sitting in the stern, the lower body is hidden under the boat, and the upper body is slightly swaying from side to side, as if he has been busy.

When the boat reached the shore, the young Taoist priest wearing a hat jumped ashore and rushed towards Wang Jufang's side.

Wang Jufang was overjoyed when he saw that the other party had sent him to the door, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Quickly pass the order, catch Guo Shangzao, and a certain family will promote him to be the commander of the Shence Army!" ”

Wang Yanzhi (Hu Yanzhi) knew that these Jianghu people did not learn and did not know what kind of official Si Ge was, so he added after the order: "Si Ge is a military attache under the eighth grade, which is even greater than the official position of the county lieutenant of Tanzhou, you must not miss the opportunity!" ”

Now everyone heard it clearly, the county lieutenant of Tanzhou can manage the military affairs of a county, (equivalent to the armed police and the director of the public security bureau in later generations), and in their eyes, he is a great official!

These people jumped up with a roar, looking for weapons everywhere, and some of them were already waving their hands and rushing forward.

The young Taoist priest walked like a fly, and in an instant he rushed into the crowd, only to see that where he passed, it was as if he had been trampled by a giant beast, and everyone fell to the ground, convulsive!

And the place where he walked gave rise to bursts of mist, and there was really a feeling of clouds and mist surrounding the immortals.

Hui Lin and Hong Yan were responsible for receiving Wang Jufang, and they had been staying here, and when they saw this scene, they glanced at each other and quietly retreated.

Ren Wuji grabbed a few junior disciples who were eager to try, lifted Monk Huiding and hid aside.

Qiu Yanqing is no longer there.

But there are still many people who rush forward without fear of death, and the leader is Deng Pei!

He lifted his big stake, like a mad bear, and roared angrily and crashed into the boy's fit!

The young man's footsteps did not stop, and he seemed to have expected Deng Pei's movements, his short body slid under the opponent's side, a white light emitted from his palm, and the big man screamed in shock, and fell straight to the side, not even blocking a move!

At this time, everyone heard a muffled thunder explosion in their ears!

The people who followed behind Deng Pei trembled with fright, and raised their knives to slash forward, and the young Taoist priest pulled out his sword from behind, and the sword shadows flew in the sun, and as long as the blades intersected, those people immediately let out a miserable scream and fell to the ground.

A moment later, the young man walked out of the formation, and the dragon shadow flew in the clouds and mist beside him, letting out a long groan.

He rushed up the hill and came to the Wang Jufang and stood still not far from them, and the popularity around them was so popular that no one dared to take a step forward!

At this time, a group of eunuchs also rushed over with weapons to protect the prison envoys.

Wang Jufang trembled, and shouted to the young man: "Don't come here, there is something to say, Wang just wants to invite you to the capital, and there is no malice!" ”

Wang Yanzhi also shouted: "Protect your father and leave!" They hugged Wang Jufang and stepped back.

The young Taoist priest was surrounded by clouds and mist, and the dragon shadow was flying, like a fairy, and he slowly took off his hat, revealing his face.

Wang Dudu exhaled softly, his hands tightly grasping the hem of his master's clothes.

The young man looked only about sixteen or seventeen years old, and his face was full of white markings, like a leopard!

This person is Guo Hong, he glanced at Yun Xuansu and Wang Dudu, turned his head to Wang Jufang and said, "You have sent people to bother you several times, Guo Mou is here to return today!" ”

As he spoke, he took a few steps forward and walked to the flag, and with a wave of his long sword, the rope was cut off, and the flag slowly fell.

The sword flashed, and the flag was already shattered when it landed, like a butterfly flying away with the wind.

With a snort, Guo Hong returned the sword into the sheath, raised his hand and pointed at Wang Jufang, and said: "This time I will be punished a little, and then I will harass my Hengshan faction, be careful of your dog's head!" ”

Wang Jufang felt a slight itch on the top of his head, and with a bang, his hair was divided into several strands and stood upright, like a large hedgehog, flying out the top of his head!

The people around were startled and dodged to the side.

Guo Hong turned to leave, and his figure appeared and disappeared in the fog.

He walked all the way to the shore to board the boat, and Cao Shouzhen steered the boat down the river quickly, and disappeared after a while, leaving only a melodious dragon roar.

During the whole process of his departure, the lake was silent, and no one dared to take a step beyond the thunder pool!

At this time, Lingyou, Pei Shi and others also heard the news and rushed from the temple, Wang Jufang's hair was still standing upright, Wang Yanzhi picked up the head from the ground, and wanted to help suppress the hair, but found that he was very stubborn and couldn't hold it down......

So Wang Jianjun beat his chest with the cockscomb and said, "He's even more powerful!" He's even better! ”

Pei Shi sighed and persuaded: "Yi Shen, why are you suffering?" ”

Yi Shen is the word of Wang Jufang, from "Yi Weiji": "The gentleman distinguishes things from the side with prudence." The "character" of the ancients is generally used to explain the "name", and it is important to pay attention to the homology.

Wang Jufang was mourned and said: "The prison flag given by the saint is destroyed, what can I do?" ”

Pei Zhi said: "You can only play it truthfully." I heard that you have been unable to get along with this child surnamed Guo, and now that time has passed, even if it is sent to Chang'an with some credit, it is not worth the effort! ”

He had heard Pei Xiu talk about it earlier, and of course he knew that Wang Jufang recognized Guo Hong as Guo Zhongwen's second son, but so what?

Now that the Son of Heaven has gradually mastered the government, he is no longer the uneasy and fearful appearance when he first succeeded to the throne, and he killed the Empress Dowager Guo last year.

At this time, the emperor was no longer worried about the restoration of the Guo family, so Guo Hong's importance was greatly reduced.

Wang Jufang sighed, the treasure is a secret, and he didn't dare to say a lot of words in his heart, so he had to hurriedly go back and pack his hair.

This selection ended hastily, and those Jianghu people were not vulnerable at all, but Pei Zhi still included these three hundred people under Shi Zaishun's command.

Interestingly, neither of the top two in the contest would stay.

Huiding claimed that he was injured, and took his apprentice back to Tanzhou and lived in Wang Jufang's mansion, and he and Ren Wuji became the disciples of the prison envoy.

Deng Pei shouted that he was here to participate in the selection of the Shence Army, how to become under the rule of the Tanzhou regiment, this is simply a lie, he angrily took Wang Jufang's reward silver, carried a huge wood back to Hengshan, and trembled while walking, and sometimes a trace of electricity flashed on his body.

Monk Fahai was sick, he went down the mountain to carry water today, saw a huge white snake in the water, spit out a letter to him, Fahai's bald head was licked, and he fainted at the water's edge at that time.

It is said that it was only half an hour before Guo Hong's big martial arts competition.

Lingyou came to see the disciple and said, "Do you know who the white snake is?" ”

Fahai shook his head and said, "Please make it clear to Master." ”

"That person is Hengshan Guo Shangzao, if it is not bad as expected by the teacher, Yunwang Yupei is also in his hands. Since he stole the jade pendant, he has formed a cause and effect with you, and you will have to end it yourself in the future. ”

Fahai struggled to get up from the couch and asked, "But if you have no power to restrain the chicken, how can you be the opponent of these people in the rivers and lakes?" ”

"After you get well, as a teacher, I will pass on your heart seal fist."

Fahai was a little repulsed by Xuewu and frowned.

When Lingyou saw it, he said: "Monks in the world must practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies, and they can also protect themselves when they go out." There are many thieves on the rivers and lakes, and it is difficult to do martial arts, so do monks have to hire bodyguards when they go down the mountain to do Dharma meetings and lectures? The little money received was not enough to hire someone. Besides, monks and monks have to travel, and when you encounter fierce beasts in the wild, you must have the power to defend yourself, this is not the time for you to be a Hanlin in the court. ”

Fahai gritted his teeth, and when Lingyou went out, he knelt down and folded his head at the Buddha picture scroll hanging on the wall in the room and said: "Buddha bless, Fahai has made a grand wish, no matter what skills this Guo Shangzao has, since he took away the jade pendant and formed the cause and effect, he must cross him into my Buddha gate......"

Yun Xuansu and his entourage followed Pei Shi, Wang Jufang and other brigades back to Tanzhou.

Pei Zhi is a royal relative and an elder of the Wangwu faction, so she is also interested in accepting it.

There is a garden called Dongchi in the south of Tanzhou city, the water is shining, the mountain island is Zhizhi, it is the eighteenth year of Zhenyuan (802 years) Tanzhou Thorn History and Hunan Observation Envoy Yang Ping, it has been used as the official banquet of Tanzhou for more than 40 years.

Yun Xuansu was sitting on a pleasure boat at this time, with a lazy cat lying at his feet, and a row of colorful flags hanging on the side of the boat, waving in the wind, hunting and flying.

Look at the beautiful scenery on the lake, the egrets fly together, the birds contend, the jungle on the shore in the distance is dense, the ancient temple Fanyu is faintly exposed, overlooking the Longfu Mountain in the distance, the mountains and rivers reflect each other, and it is unique.

As Long Fushan said earlier, it is the Tianxin Pavilion in the later generations, which is the highest point in the area of Changsha City. (See Chapter 1 The Visitor)

"Master, it's so beautiful here!" Wang Du got on the boat and let himself go, running around, and then he returned to Yun Xuansu when he was tired of playing.

Yun Xuansu ignored her and talked to a twenty-eight or nineteen-year-old young woman beside her.

"How does Madame feel in the South?"

"It's just that the humidity is heavier, and everything else is fine. Alchemist, the medicine you prescribed a few days ago is really effective, and after eating a few pairs, your body will be much lighter. ”

This woman is Wang Jufang's wife, Ma Shi, she is the same age as Yun Xuansu, and the conversation is very speculative.

Today, Wang Jufang has official business, so he asked his wife to accompany Yun Xuansu.

After all, it was inconvenient for Pei Shi, Wang Jufang and others to get along with the Wang-style concubines all day long, so Yun Xuansu walked around with the wives of these officials in the inner house most of the time.

After Pei Shi's wife came to Hunan, she was not accustomed to the water and soil, and her health was not very good, so she went back early, so she respected Ma among the wives of officials in Hengzhou City.

At this time, it was already afternoon, and the other ladies also left one after another, leaving only Ma and Yun Xuansu to swim together, and Wang Du was familiar with Ma, so he dared to be so presumptuous on the ship.

This little girl is already pleasant, Ma is also kind, and she has no children, so she is naturally very good to treat.

Yun Xuansu knew that the wives and concubines of these eunuchs were all pitiful, and they were the most virtuous, after all, how many women in the world could never get close to each other for life?

Therefore, most of these people believe in Buddhism and pin their hopes on the afterlife, but Ma believes in the Tao because of his own relationship, which can be regarded as an outlier.

Yun Xuansu looked at the lake, chatted with each other, and gradually turned to the topic of Hengshan: "The poor road will go south in a few days and go to Hengshan to visit the immortal relics, but the day before yesterday, I saw that my uncle had a conflict with Guo Shangzao of the Hengshan faction in the Miyin Temple, I don't know why?" ”

Ma hesitated slightly, and saw that there were no eunuchs on the ship, and his maid was also in the distance, so he whispered: "The refiner doesn't know, Lang Jun once got drunk and said it between the beds, it turned out to be about the treasure of Gaolishi back then. ”

She paused for a moment, looked around again, and then continued: "It seems that Gao Lishi left the treasure map to Hengshan Heavenly Master Wang Xianqiao, and then passed it down, and somehow fell into the hands of Guo Shangzao. ”

Yun Xuansu clenched his fists and his knuckles turned white, and he exhaled deeply, suppressing the shock in his heart!

She said to Ma: "If the uncle asks about this matter, the lady must not say that she has mentioned it to the concubine, otherwise there will be a big disaster!" ”

Ma's face turned pale with fright, nodded again and again, and even swore to Sanqing.

The treasure of Gaolishi is said to contain the treasure of Yang Guifei, which was caused by a bloody storm decades ago because of a clue, and many people died for it, which was full of suspicions, and finally proved to be fake, and I didn't expect to appear here again.

Wang Xianqiao is indeed very close to Gao Lishi, so this matter is also possible.

Is there another slaughter because of this treasure?

That night, Yun Xuansu went to a banquet at Wang Jufang's house, and she was going south tomorrow, which was a farewell banquet.

Yun Xuansu finished eating, but did not leave in a hurry, and asked to have a secret talk with Wang Jufang.

Wang Jufang was puzzled, but he still took her to the study, and the two sat down and waved away.

"I don't know what secret the refiner can't hear in the six ears?" Wang Jufang picked up the teacup and asked with foam.

"Uncle wants to capture Guo Shangzao alive, but for the treasure of Gaolis?" Yun Xuansu decided to get straight to the point.

Wang Jufang's hands trembled, the tea splashed on the placket, he hurriedly put the teacup on the table, and asked, "Where did you hear that?" ”

"Uncle, don't care about these little things, please tell the truth!"

Wang Jufang was shocked and didn't know how much the other party knew.

Yun Xuansu knew that if he didn't say anything, it would be difficult to win the trust of the other party, so he said: "The treasure of Gaolishi caused a bloody storm back then, and there have always been rumors in the rivers and lakes that the secret may be hidden in the south, and among the possible locations is Hengshan. On that day, Guo Shangzao folded the flag and left, and the concubine played a hexagram as an uncle, and the hexagram was like Shangkun and Xiagen, called the Tibetan Mountain Hexagram, and there was a jade treasure hidden in the main land. If you bow respectfully and bow to others, you can get this windfall. ”

Wang Jufang will be skeptical, he also believed that there are strangers in the world.

These days I have been depressed in my heart, and I have not been able to tell others, after thinking about it, I feel that since Yun Xuansu has seen the clues, he must have profound mana, and it is better to have one or two more people to discuss it than to get nothing from chickens and eggs.

"It all started three years ago......"

Wang Jufang recounted in detail how he sent Hu Yande to deal with Liu Yuanjing, and let the maid marry Wang Daoyuan as a concubine in order to strengthen control.

After hearing the whole story, Yun Xuansu sighed and said, "So my uncle is also hearsay, and I can't be sure that the Taizhen secret record is taken by Guo Shangzao?" ”

"Not bad. It's just that he has never succeeded, and he has been ...... later" Wang Jufang found a suitable word to describe it for a while.

“…… It has become a habit later. Yun Xuansu said.

"Yes, yes, it's a habit to grab it......" Wang Jufang laughed to himself.

Yun Xuansu asked again: "Since it was rumored that they were two Taoist children at that time, why didn't you arrest the other person, it should be Cao Shouzhen?" ”

Wang Jufang smiled awkwardly: "Originally, it was to kill two birds with one stone, that Guo Shangzao looked very much like the Fujiao Yu Party who escaped from Chang'an, but then I gradually forgot why, I just wanted to catch this kid!" ”

Yun Xuansu nodded and said, "Does my uncle have to arrest him to receive merit?" ”

"That's not necessarily, if you give the treasure map, of course you can let him live."

Yun Xuansu smiled and shook his head, and said: "The day before yesterday, the slave family also saw Guo Shangzao's martial arts, if this person hides in Hengshan, he will send thousands of people, I'm afraid it will be difficult to catch it, right?" ”

Wang Jufang nodded, he knew that the other party had saved face for himself, it should be said that Guo Shangzao didn't want to make a big deal about it, otherwise even if he was heavily guarded, his life would be in danger.

Yun Xuansu said again: "The hexagram of the day before yesterday shows that my uncle must not think of swallowing this treasure alone, and he must put down his body and cooperate with others, and I want to refer to this Guo Shangzao." Why don't you be a lobbyist by the concubine and go to Hengshan to find out their tone? ”

Wang Jufang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he had a feeling of sudden enlightenment in his heart, and hurriedly said: "This is the best, I don't know what kind of remuneration the refiner needs?" ”

Yun Xuansu said: "The concubine husband is from the same clan as the uncle, this favor is naturally to help, and it is a bit out of sight when it comes to remuneration or something!" ”

Wang Jufang laughed and said, "In this case, please sister-in-law, you just need to explain to that kid that he knows the whereabouts of the treasure key, and if it is done, he will be grateful!" ”
