Yun Xuansu said: "Chang'an people know the Wuling Society, they are a gang formed by the children of the Chang'an family, these people call themselves the Wuling Youth Association because of Bai Letian's "Pipa Xing" in the 'Wuling Young Fighting Entanglement', occupying the East City for more than ten years, and the original teenager has grown up, so it was renamed the Wuling Society. The current head of the meeting is Bai Zhengfu, the eldest son of Bai Minzhong, who was in power in the current dynasty. ”

Everyone was solemn when they heard this, but Lu Yu laughed and said: "Don't say that it is the son of the prime minister, what if it is the prime minister himself?" It's rare for me to get together with the officials of the imperial court, or do I think that the dragon in the water will be afraid of the tigers on land? ”

Cao Shouzhen laughed: "Hahahaha! ”

What are you all looking at me for? Is it wrong to laugh?

"Hehe, hehe......"

It's embarrassing.

Yun Xuansu continued with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "The Wuling Society has become more and more powerful in the past two years, and now not only the children of high-ranking officials, but also eunuchs have also intervened, and the forces are intertwined, there are many rangers and warriors in the middle level, and the bottom are all green-skinned scoundrels, and even the Jingzhao Mansion is afraid of them!" Therefore you should not underestimate the enemy, lest the ship capsize in the gutter. ”

She suddenly looked at Guo Hong and asked, "Did Senior Brother go to the Great Ci'en Temple yesterday?" ”

Guo Hong nodded, and Yun Xuan said, "The person who ordered the fox boy on the stage is you, right?" ”

After receiving an affirmative reply, she continued: "The Linghu you fought is one of the vice leaders of the Wuling Society, and the other deputy head is Ma Shiwei, the grandson of Ma Yuanzhen, a lieutenant of the Left Army. However, there are also contradictions within the Wuling Society, Bai Zhengfu, Ma Shiwei and Ling Hujiao are fighting among themselves, and they are like fire and water, and they each have a group of leaders. I don't know which of their factions did this incident. ”

"So there are a lot of eunuchs in the Wuling Society?" Lu Zhizhen asked.

"Not bad. They used the power of eunuchs to bully and dominate the market, and the predecessor Jingzhao Yin Liu Zhongying was because he repeatedly punished the internal envoy Xiao'er and Shence sergeant who disturbed the East City, and was later feared by the eunuchs and transferred to the secretary and supervisor. Yun Xuansu reminded him repeatedly, just to let the people in front of him know that the water in the capital is ~ deep.

Guo Hong's heart moved, and he asked, "In this way, even Yin Lu Hongzhi of Jingzhao Mansion may not be able to bring Senior Sister Xuanji back?" ”

Yun Xuansu nodded and said: "It depends on luck, how did Bai Zhengfu's subordinates do it, then they will definitely be able to come back, because the Lu family, the Liu family, and the Bai family are all centrists, if it is Ling Huxuan's subordinates, it is okay to say, his father is a Niu Party, and Lu Fujun can also speak, but if Ma Shiwei's people did it, they can only spend money, and these eunuch envoys only recognize silver money!" And I'm afraid that they will act too fast, and they will sell the child before we can get in touch! ”

"Even if you sell it, you can get it back, right?" Guo Hong asked.

Yun Xuansu bit his lip, frowned slightly, and said, "I'm afraid that if it is sold to those people, it has happened before, it will be too dangerous!" ”

She glanced at Lu Zhizhen and asked, "You have been monitoring Qinglong Temple recently, have they made any changes?" ”

Lu Zhizhen shook his head and said: "Qinglong Temple has been too quiet recently, which makes people always feel a little strange. ”

Yun Xuansu's face was solemn, and he began to assign tasks: "Okay, don't care about how Jingzhao Mansion acts, we will track down the whereabouts of Senior Sister Xuanji on our own, Senior Brother Lu will continue to stare at the movements of Qinglong Temple, you take care of the news of the Yu family." ”

Lu Zhizhen shook his head and said, "Senior sister, slow down, there is a senior brother in my door who may be able to help." ”

"Senior brother? Isn't Senior Brother Lu the first disciple of Hengshan? Yun Xuansu was a little surprised.

Lu Zhizhen said: "I am a senior brother under the Hengshan Sect, but this is a disciple of the master in his early years, and he is considered a disciple of the Shangqing Sect, and at that time, the master and the ancestor were both from the Shangqing Sect. ”

"Shangqing Sect people? What's going on? ”

Lu Zhizhen said: "This is an old thing twenty years ago, when the master was still young and had entanglements with two women, one was Princess Xunyang, and the other was Sun Zhuheng, the sister of Sun Zhiqing, the current head of the Shangqing faction. Tian Shizu once competed with Sun Zhiqing for the Taoist system of Maoshan in the Shangqing Dynasty, and later Sun Zhenren succeeded as the sixteenth grandmaster of the Shangqing Dynasty. ”

Sun Zhiqing is one of the Four Wonders of Xuanmen, and he is also the top master in the world, and the youngest of the four.

Lu Yu said with a smile: "Senior brother said grinding and chirping, listen to my master, your master wants to inherit the Taoist system of Maoshan, and in the end he didn't fight for the head snake Sun Zhiqing, and returned to Hengshan in a rage, so he beat the mandarin duck to prevent Liu Zhenren from having dealings with Sun Zhuheng." At that time, Sun Zhuheng was known as the Maoshan Fairy, very famous in the rivers and lakes, and Liu Zhenrenlang was a pair of fairy couples, I don't know how many people were envious, and finally separated from this incident It was quite a sensation, and soon after Sun Zhuheng was said to have died of depression. ”

I can't imagine that there will be such a thing when the master is young, Guo Hong really can't imagine it. This Tian Xuying patriarch is also busy enough, he is the head of Hengshan, and he went to Tiantai Mountain to open a different faction, and he also wants to compete for the Maoshan Daotong, it seems that he is a person who likes to engage in mergers and acquisitions.

"Princess Xunyang and Master ......"

Li Feizhen is actually Guo Hong's teacher, but she doesn't want to expose her relationship with Liu Yuanjing, and Guo Hong will keep her mouth shut if she agrees.

However, he still wanted to know about the past of the master and the master, and the young man was very curious.

He has a lot of secrets in his heart that he can't share with others, and he won't be naïve like other teenagers to say everything in his heart.

Lu Zhizhen said: "It's all later, the princess didn't know the master until he came to Chang'an." The master was invited by Emperor Jingzong to come to Chang'an that time, and the senior brother also worshiped under the master that time. ”

"You haven't said who this senior brother is?" Yun Xuansu asked.

"It's Senior Brother Cao Daochong, the leader of Chang'an Daomen."

Cao Yongzhi, the word Dao Chong, the name is taken from the fourth chapter of the Tao Te Ching: "Dao Chong and use it or not profitable", he is forty-one years old this year, Chang'an Xingtangguan (the southwest corner of Changle Fang) Taoist Society of great virtue, under Liu Yuanjing, by the cave Xuanfa Gong, but it is regarded as the Shangqing Gate

Below, do not enter the Hengshan gate wall.

According to Cao Yongzhi's epitaph, he studied under Mr. Tongxuan, and a total of three Taoists in the five dynasties of the Tang Dynasty were named Mr. Tongxuan, one was Zhang Guolao, one was Liu Yuanjing, and one was Zhang Jianming of the Jin Dynasty after the fifth generation.

Zhang Guolao and Zhang Jianming are too far apart, so it can only be Liu Yuanjing.

At the time of Cao Yong's death, the title of Liu Yuanjing in the world had been changed from Mr. Guangcheng to Mr. Tongxuan, which was the nickname he received after his death.

Cao Yongzhi has a great reputation in Chang'an, and he is no weaker than Liu Yuanjing, and it can be said that he is a household name, and Guo Hong and others have also heard people mention it in the past few days.

Yun Xuansu saw that Lu Zhizhen was going to take the same door to see Cao Yongzhi, so he had to sit in Huayang Guan with Lu Yu and wait for the news.

Lu Zhizhen took the two junior disciples out all the way to the north, passed through the East Market and walked two more miles before arriving at Changle Fang.

The northern wall of Chang'an City can already be seen from afar.

Changle Fang is adjacent to Daming Palace, there are Xingtang Temple and Anguo Temple, Anguo Temple Zhixuan is the head of Buddhism, the day before yesterday with Guo Hong's Shi Chongqian is the second disciple of Zhixuan, the heads of the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism in Chang'an are crowded in this small Fang, it can be said that the dragon is in the tiger.

Xingtang view is the famous grand view of Chang'an, this is the garden of Sinong Temple, Xuanzong transformed the Taoist temple during the period, Xianzong Yuanhe period, the famous Taoist Xuan Yi Su is the main view, once made it the center of Taoism in Chang'an.

Now this view is famous again because of Cao Yong's reputation, and the Taoist people enter to worship, and there is an endless stream.

Lu Zhizhen and the three of them entered the temple, inquired about the Taoist Tong, and learned that Cao Yongzhi happened to be in the temple, so they followed into the residence of the Taoist priest behind.

Here the pavilions and chess are clothed, the palace is heavy, the pines and cypresses are verdant, the cigarette smoke is swirling, and there is a charm of taking quiet and drifting out of the dust in the noisy.

They entered one of the largest courtyards, where a middle-aged Taoist in a gray robe was practicing boxing.

Guo Hong looked at it for a while, and felt that this senior brother was a bit of a return to the basics.

Cao Yongzhi recognized Lu Zhizhen and Cao Shouzhen, and after receiving the credit, he came over to meet each other and behaved very enthusiastically.

"This senior brother Guo Shangzao is a disciple accepted by the master three years ago, and he is also the adopted son of the master."

Guo Hong stepped forward to salute: "Senior brother! ”

"Senior Brother Guo, is Master in good health?"

"When we left, Master was in Bigu and had no symptoms." Guo Hong replied.

Cao Yongzhi let the three of them go to the living room, everyone sat down, and he asked again: "Master or is Xi'an and Zhenzhen Palace running on both sides?" ”

Lu Zhizhen said: "Two years ago, the master built the Dengxian Pavilion with the support of Han Taishou, and the two lived there. Soon Han Taishou died at the end of his life, and the master was very sad, so he returned to Zhu Rongfeng and lived in Xi'an all the time. ”

Han Huayang's matter involved Wang Xianqiao's secret method, and in order to prevent outsiders from coveting it, everyone in Hengshan was tight-lipped.

Although there were many people who participated in the war, most of them thought that it was a poisonous insect, and there were only a few people who knew the inside story.

Cao Yongzhi sighed: "It's really a young and young man, and the glory is cherished in the twilight." ”

He is only nine years old from Liu Yuanjing, and he can already understand Master's mood.

Lu Zhizhen explained the intention: "Now that the Xuanji sister of the Wangwu faction has been abducted, Wangwu and Shangqing, Hengshan, and Tiantai are all the Taoist systems of Sima Patriarch, and they are connected with the same branch, and I also ask my senior brother to help." ”

After listening to the details, Cao Yongzhi said: "Okay, the three junior disciples will wait a while, and I will order the disciples to go to the East City to find the Wuling Society to inquire." ”

He is a great master of Chang'an Daomen, and he has a wide range of contacts inside and outside the palace.

Guo Hong's tea ceremony was unanimously praised by Hengshan, and at this time, the four of them sat in the pavilion in the courtyard and tasted tea and said goodbye.

"Senior Brother Cao's original Five Elements Handling Technique is famous as Zhenjing Master, so it is better to take the waiting effort to guide Senior Brother Guo." Lu Zhizhen said with a smile.

Cao Yongzhi said with a smile: "I also comprehended it from the Five Elements Fist passed down by my master, which is not original." ”

Although he is under the Maoshan Gate of the Shangqing Dynasty, he has also obtained the inheritance of the Five Elements Boxing, but he did not leave Maoshan with his master and ancestor back then.

Cao Yongzhi took a sip of tea, sprayed it into the air, and turned into a paper bird on the ground, and then wiped the dust with his hand, and the paper bird turned into a white pigeon and paced back and forth.

"Senior Brother Guo, can you help Senior Brother see if this pigeon is real?"

"Nature is true."

Guo Hong saw that the pigeon was cute, so he got up and walked over and held his hands in front of his chest.

The pigeon is not afraid of people, and its little head moves from side to side.

Guo Hong stroked the feather and handed it over at the signal of the other party.

Cao Yongzhi took it and shook his hand, and the pigeon flew up and landed on the back of his hand.

With a flick of his fingertips, a flame ignited in an instant, and the pigeon flew in shock, only to turn into charred pieces of paper and fall into the pool outside the pavilion.

As soon as it touches the surface of the water, it suddenly dissolves and spreads out, turning into a lotus leaf.

A lotus flower bloomed in the center, and inside was a scroll, Guo Hong looked familiar, and when he touched his chest, he found that the map in his arms was gone.

This map was obtained from Du Mu's mansion and is related to the stolen jade artifacts of the Wuzong Dynasty.

The lotus grows upwards and slowly lifts the scroll to the edge of the pavilion.

Cao Yongzhi twisted his beard and said to Guo Hong: "Senior Brother Guo, do you think Senior Brother's carrying technique can still be seen?" ”

Guo Hong smiled: "It's amazing! ”

He walked to the edge of the pavilion and stretched out his hand to retrieve the scroll, and suddenly remembered that this Senior Brother Cao had been in Chang'an for a long time, so he opened the map and asked him, "Senior Brother, do you know where this is?" ”

"Something familiar...... I know a person who has traveled all over the world's famous mountains, and has the ability to remember the mountains and rivers, and his family lives next to the Taoist temple, why don't you invite him? ”

Guo Hong nodded and said, "Such as."

This is the best. ”

Cao Yongzhi instructed his disciples to invite people, and then began to explain the Five Elements Carrying Technique.

Guo Hong is already very skilled in ordinary magic tricks, what he doesn't understand is how the other party can take something from his arms, and he doesn't know it.

You must know that as a person whose martial arts are second only to Liu Yuanjing in Hengshan, his feelings are much beyond ordinary people.

After Cao Yongzhi finished speaking, Guo Hong understood that there are people outside the world and there is heaven outside the sky, and when this senior brother took the pigeon from him, he used three fingers to clip the scroll from his arms!

It's not intentional, it's what counts.

"Senior brother can be called empty-handed!" Guo Hong said with a smile.

"You mean the emptiness of the duel with Nie Yinniang? My technique was that I got it when I was a child, and he was in his eighties at the time, and it was possible that he was empty at his age. ”

Guo Hong's heart was shocked, and he asked: "Is there really time, isn't that written in the legendary story?" ”

"Although it's not so magical, this story did happen, there is a strange gate in the rivers and lakes, called 'Hidden Gate', and Nie Yinniang's master was the master of the door at that time."

Guo Hong said: "What's the matter with Nie Yinniang being able to hide the sword in her skull?" ”

Cao Yongzhi smiled: "It's just an illusion, you should be able to do it." The person who wrote this story was Pei Quan, who came from the Pei family of the Eastern Family, and the ancestor Pei Yin served as the master of the hidden door, so he knew some secrets. This person gave up the family martial arts and Taoism, concentrated on the imperial examination, and is now still in Chang'an to prepare for next year's examination, that article is the book he wrote last year, extremely exaggerated, because it is too bizarre for a while to become an interesting talk in Beijing, and because of this, he did not win this year. ”

Guo Hong: "Oh? I heard that the emperor likes legendary ......"

"Because at that time, there was a popular story about the martyrdom of Wang Cairen, and "Nie Yinniang" became a sensation as soon as Chang'an came out, and the singing and storytelling told this all day, and the sage didn't know why he ordered not to take Pei Quan as a jinshi."

Guo Hong: "I understand, the story of Wang Cairen's funeral was written by the emperor, and Pei Quan grabbed the top spot of the emperor's list, which is naturally hated." He should give up his copyright until fifty years after his death and be an honest happy writer. ”

"He wrote "Kunlun Nu" again this year, and now it is popular in Chang'an again."

Cao Yongzhi carefully taught the art of magic hands, and Guo Hong suddenly woke up after practicing for a while, this is derived from the Five Elements Fist!

No wonder it's called the Five Elements Handling Technique.

He expressed his feelings, and Cao praised him again and again.

The four of them were talking, and they went to invite people's disciples to come back, leading a few people, led by Zhang Yanyuan.

"Labor Aibin is here, these are my three junior brothers from Hengshan."

Zhang Yanyuan said with a smile: "Mr. invited Zhang to come." ”

Cao Yongzhi is a favored Taoist priest around the emperor, awarded three grades of purple clothes, and the actual chief of the two monks, Zhang Yanyuan, a six-grade member of the foreign man, has a much worse status, even if his father of the fourth grade of the official residence does not dare to take it.

He glanced at Guo Hong and the others, and was slightly stunned: "Aren't these three Taoist priests practicing in the Yu family?" ”

Guo Hong remembered that Yu Zhongde said that Zhang Yanyuan was the mastermind who killed Shen Zhao, and said, "Yes, we can also come to the door when your mansion is overdue." ”

Zhang Yanyuan's face changed when he heard this, and Cao Yongzhi said: "My junior brother has just come from Hengshan, and he has no sense of proportion in his speech, don't be surprised by Zhang Wailang." ”

Zhang Yanyuan snorted and said, "I don't know what to say!" ”

Guo Hong asked: "Yu Zhongde said that you were the mastermind behind the killing of Uncle Yu, for Aunt Liu!" ”

Zhang Yanyuan laughed and said, "Just because of this? Do you believe in a green skin or do you believe in me, a painter who has traveled half of the Tang Dynasty? ”

Cao Yongzhi also said: "Senior Brother Guo, don't listen to and believe partially, you can see a person's character from calligraphy and painting, Zhang Wailang is not that kind of person, his words are atmospheric and stylish, if it is a treacherous person, he can't write this kind of charm." ”

Zhang Yanyuan also said: "I like Ah Liu, but it hasn't reached the point of unscrupulous means, since the little Taoist studied under Liu Zhenren, he should also know that writing and painting must nourish his qi!" ”

Guo Hong smiled and said: "Of course I know, but I just want to provoke you, if you guess correctly, then the commander is the entourage next to you!" ”

"You don't want to spew blood!" The big man who followed Zhang Yanyuan snorted coldly.

"Then why did you go to kill Yu Zhongde? If I hadn't gone yesterday, he would have died! ”

Zhang Yanyuan glanced back and said, "Shi Ming, what's going on?" ”

Guo Hongdao: "He was about to make a move at the time, and personally said that he paid for Yu Zhongde to handle it, hired Gu Er to kill Uncle Yu, and said to Yu Zhongde that after killing him, he would commit suicide in fear of crime, so he would close the case." I happened to be chasing down the matter of Senior Sister Xuanji, so I grabbed it, but I didn't want to be run away by him, and my left arm was still injured by me. ”

Zhang Yanyuan will be skeptical.

Shi Ming suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "I'm doing this for the sake of my master!" The master didn't think about the fish lady day and night, and painted several paintings, so I removed the fish Chengzhao who was in the way. ”

Zhang Yanyuan shook his head and sighed: "Zhang did paint a few small portraits of Ah Liu, and he did not think about the painting day and night, but they were all painting the wrong person!" What I like is Ah Liu in the painting, don't you find that she is more beautiful in the painting? Without a trace of fireworks, that's the perfect person in my mind! The real Ah Liu, I just have a good impression, more appreciation, and I don't mean to get in touch with her at all, why don't you act without asking me what I mean?! ”

Shi Ming: "......"

Guo Hong: "......"

Cao Yongzhi, Lu Zhizhen, Cao Shouzhen: "......"

By mistake, this Zhang Wailang's hobby is so different, he can't be reasonable, and he actually prefers the beauties he paints......
