Chapter 23: Taiping Road

After listening to Lu Yun's words, Uncle Bao asked strangely: "Since you have already succeeded, why didn't Gongzi leave quickly?" ”

"Then they will know that the jade seal has been taken away by me. Lu Yun said with a smile: "So I chased all the way again to see if I could pit her again."www.biquge.info Although the process was unexpected, the result was not bad......"

"Perfect!" Uncle Bao nodded heavily and said happily: "The son got something, but the woman was suspicious and her identity was exposed!" Now Xiahou Valve thinks that we are also Taiping Dao people! Ha ha! The more he spoke, the happier he became, and he stroked his palms and smiled: "Taiping Dao, wonderful!" Wonderful! Taiping Dao definitely didn't bother to explain it clearly, anyway, the Xiahou valve couldn't help them! ”

"Uncle, what you think is too beautiful......" Lu Yun was not so optimistic, he didn't believe that those gate valve giants would be so easily toyed with by themselves. But there is no need to say these words to Uncle Bao. While hurrying, he changed the subject and asked, "Why did you see that...... Lu Banyi, they will recognize it as Taiping Dao? ”

"The Luban wing was made by Lubanmen for the Northern and Eastern Qi dynasties," Uncle Bao explained to Lu Yun: "At that time, the Eastern Qi Emperor was whimsical and fantasized about letting his soldiers fly away, so he ordered Lubanmen to make flying wings. Lu Banmen made a hundred kinds of various equipment, and the emperor of the Eastern Qi Dynasty ordered death row prisoners to use these devices to jump from the highest point of the palace, and finally only one person landed safely. And the equipment used by that person is Lu Banyi. ”

"Since it has been successfully developed, why did Lu Banyi disappear again?" Lu Yun asked puzzled.

"First, it is too expensive, it is said that it costs a thousand taels of gold to produce a pair of Luban wings. The second is that it is not very useful, and it can only glide down from a high place, and cannot really fly. Uncle Bao said: "So the Emperor of Eastern Qi lost interest and did not order production. The only remaining pair of Luban wings was collected in the palace and became a plaything. Later, the Eastern Qi Dynasty was destroyed by Gaozu, and Sun Yuanlang, who was still the helmsman of Taiping Dao at that time, took the opportunity to lead the disciples to loot the palace and snatched the only Luban wing in the world. ”

"No wonder ......" Lu Yun understood why the people of Xiahou Valve recognized them as Taiping Dao people at a glance.

"Lu Banyi is really famous in the world, in fact, it is in the hands of Sun Yuanlang, he has escaped danger several times with this thing......" Uncle Bao said with some leisurely fascination: "Later, when he was promoted to the heavenly rank, he no longer needed this thing......"

"So, eighty percent of that woman is Sun Yuenlong's descendant?" Lu Yun grasped the key point and prevented Uncle Bao from continuing to talk about the ancients.

"That's nature." Uncle Bao thought so, and said hatefully: "Xiahou Valve really has the intention of usurping the throne, as long as we spread this matter, I don't believe that the dog emperor can even endure this!" ”

"We don't have to worry about it." Lu Yun said firmly: "Taiping Dao will definitely do this!" ”

The woman's carriage walked on the official road for a day, and entered Yixing City in the evening. This is the county seat of Yixing County, Yangzhou, and the officers and soldiers are quite strictly guarded, but when they saw the carriage, they let it go directly without asking.

The carriage entered the city and arrived at the county guard's mansion, and the official who guarded the gate hurriedly opened the gate and let the carriage in.

In the courtyard, the county guard and his wife watched with a smile as the maid helped the woman get out of the carriage. She seemed to be weak, shallow blessings, and asked softly: "Father, mother, daughter is back......" Now even the voice is the same as before.

"Okay." The county guard and his wife were very relieved: "It's windy outside, hurry up and enter the house." ”

The maid helped her into the room slowly.

Before entering the house, the family was fine. But as soon as the door was closed, the county guard and his wife actually prostrate on the ground, and said in fear: "My subordinates pay tribute to the saint, and the saint is blessed with Jin'an." ”

"Excuse me." The holy woman's delicate face showed a holy radiance, and her voice seemed to soothe people's hearts, even if she said irrelevant topics, she still made everyone around her feel extremely happy. "Has my master arrived?"

"Daozong has just arrived, and he is meditating in the ashram." The county guard got up in thanks, paused and whispered, "The left protector is also here." ”

"Well......" The saint nodded, then left everyone and went to the quiet room in the backyard to meet the master.

In the quiet room, there was nothing but three futons and a burnt of incense. The two Taoist priests meditated cross-legged opposite each other, and the holy woman did not open her eyes when she came in.

The holy woman sat silently on the futon at the bottom of the head, and closed her eyes and breathed.

After a long time, the older Taoist priest said leisurely: "Do you know the purpose of the Xiahou valve?" ”

"Yes." The saint nodded, and then briefly told the two of them the whole story. Her tone was very calm, as if she was talking about a trivial matter.

"What? Heirloom jade seal?! Hearing her talk about the jade seal of the country, the Taoist priest exclaimed. Another Taoist priest also opened his eyes suddenly, it was Sun Yuenlong, the head of the Taiping Dao!

Ten years have not left any traces on Sun Yuanlang's body, and he is still the same as he was at the beginning, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a clear face, and three long beards fluttering like immortals.

But after the surprise, I immediately heard her say that the jade seal of the country that was at her fingertips was snatched away. The old man's face turned black at once, and he said angrily: "You are too hasty! Why not wait until we get there to do it! ”

"The arrow is on the bow, and it has to be sent." The saint said lightly: "What's more, the Dharma Protector really thinks that you and your master can snatch the jade seal from Xiahou Valve's hands?" ”

"That's bigger than you can do it without your own hands!" Lao Dao was a little annoyed, turned to Sun Yuanlang, and said in a muffled voice: "Daozong, the holy woman is reckless and reckless, and she is a big thing for me, how do you think we should deal with it?!" ”

Although Sun Yuanlong looked regretful, he was not angry. He smiled slightly, and said softly to Lao Dao: "Senior brother, stop being angry." If Ying Sleeve hadn't been aware of Xiahou Valve's conspiracy, there would not be today's situation. The jade seal is a holy relic of the Heavenly Dao, how can it be easily obtained? It's not a human fault, it's really a chance. ”

"Daozong, you can protect her!" Lao Dao is the left protector of Taiping Dao, Tai Tai Dou, with the strength of the heavenly rank, and his status in the sect was originally second only to Sun Yuanlang. But in the past two years, Sun Yuenlong announced that the female disciple in front of him was the reincarnation of the Holy Daughter of Taiping, and that he would establish a humane paradise as the Empress of Peace in the future. All of a sudden, this little girl became an existence comparable to the sect leader in the eyes of the cultists.

What's even more hateful is that this little girl also considers herself a saint, and she doesn't take herself as a heaven-level protector in her eyes at all. It's because Taidou has long been full of resentment, and he can't get along with her when he finds an opportunity. "She didn't catch the fox this time, but she made a fuss, and the court and Xiahou Valve will definitely chase and beat us!"

"It doesn't matter, how many years have they strangled us, is Taiping Dao still Taiping Dao?" Sun Yuanlang smiled disappreliantly: "What's more, my senior brother and I have the opposite opinion, this is a God-given opportunity for us to improve the situation and show our strength!" ”

"Oh?" Taidou was stunned for a moment. "Why did the Taoist Sect say this?"

"Ying sleeves," Sun Yuanlang looked at the saint and said, "Are you sure that Xiahou Valve recognized the jade seal and was snatched away by you?" ”

"Yes." The holy woman nodded, her eyes flashed with a hint of annoyance, and said, "Unless that kid is caught by them, or he doesn't admit himself!" But it shouldn't be possible ......."

"That's great!" Only then did Sun Yuanlang turn to Lao Dao and slowly instructed: "Senior brother, if you spread the news, you will say that Taiping Dao has obtained the jade seal!" After a pause, he said to the sluggish Taidou again: "Then, secretly pass a word to the Huangfu family, the Xiahou family, and the six families, as long as they are willing to bid, everything is negotiable......

"Ahh Lao Dao suddenly slapped his thigh and said: "They are already in good shape, if they knew that Xiahou was plotting against the jade seal, they would definitely tear their faces completely!" How can you deal with us? After a pause, he said excitedly: "The emperor wants the jade seal, and the Xiahou valve also wants the jade seal!" There are also those six, which are not fuel-efficient lamps, knowing that we are willing to give up the jade seal, it is too late to scold us, who dares to offend us? ”

"Not bad." Sun Yuenlong smiled.

"But......" Lao Dao suddenly thought of a key question, glared at the holy woman and said, "Let's lose the jade seal!" ”

"It doesn't matter." Sun Yuanlang twisted his beard and smiled: "As long as they believe that it is enough in our hands." ”

"I'll find out." At this time, the holy woman said in a deep voice: "Although I am not sure. But I feel that the person who grabbed the jade seal is the one who assassinated Xiahou Lei that day! ”

"Oh?" Taidou was pleasantly surprised: "This is a clue!" ”

"And the man who assassinated Xiahou Lei," the holy woman ignored him, and continued, "The exercises seem to be in the same vein as the Taiping Sutra. ”

Tang Taidou said disapprerovingly: "That's not unusual, which technique did he use?" "The Taiping Sutra is the foundation of the Taiping Taoism, with a total of 10 books and 142 volumes, all-encompassing, broad and profound! There are as many as seventy or eighty cultivation methods alone! And there are countless Taiping Dao believers, there are no classes, and I don't know how many people have learned the exercises above, and they have spread it out.

The saintess stretched out her green fingers and pinched a seal, which was exactly the same as Lu Yun's posture on the boat that day, as if she had seen it herself.

"This is ......" Taidou was a little dumbfounded, he didn't even know this seal. Then he turned his head to look at Sun Yuanlang, and said in his heart that this Tiantian talent in the five hundred years of Taiping Dao would definitely be able to say one or two.

Who knew that Sun Yuanlang actually shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it either." ”

"The saint confessed her mistake, right?" Taidou was a little displeased and said: "This is obviously not the kung fu of the Taiping Sutra!" ”

"That's weird...... the holy woman frowned slightly, "But when that person punches out this seal, it is the meaning of 'vitality guards the way, and all things are born' in the Taiping Sutra!" ”

"Really?" Sun Yuanlang couldn't help frowning and thinking about it, and after a long time, he thought of a possibility and said, "Could it be from the scroll that was taken away?" "The scroll is the last volume of the Taiping Sutra, and it is also the supreme treasure in the Taiping Sutra, and it has always been only the Taiping Taoist master who can read it.

It's a pity that twenty years ago, the previous sect leader was killed by the Huangfu clan, and the Huangfu clan also took away the scroll, and even Sun Yuanlang had never seen it.

But this conjecture is so unbelievable that even he himself doesn't believe it, shaking his head and laughing: "Impossible." Over the years, I have completed the exercises on the scroll through the Xuan Dynasty Grandmaster. Except for the Taishang Cave Xuangong that no one can cultivate......"

"That exercise has long been buried in the fire with Empress Qianming...... "Tai Taidou also laughed, teasing the saint and said: "It seems that you are indeed wrong." ”

The saint bowed her head and stopped talking, but the doubt in her eyes did not disappear......

"No matter what," at this time, Sun Yuanlang stopped the topic and ordered in a deep voice: "You have to find that person before the White Ape Society!" ”

"Yes!" The Holy Maiden and the Left Protector solemnly received the order.
