The twenty-third day of the lunar month, the year of the year.

The goose feather snow that came as promised, but it did not stop people's yearning and enthusiasm for the New Year's Festival, and the streets of the west of Jiankang City were still crowded, and the more than half a foot of silver wrapped in silk soon turned into a mud.

Today is the first day of the new year, and all the nobles in Jiankang entered the palace before dawn to welcome the New Year with the heavenly family. Gan's family has one door, one duke and three waiting, and the four-room Gan Lin's descendant Gan Kun is loyal to the Hou, because Gan Feng Xiangfan's military exploits were crowned the champion Hou, and the original Qimen Marquis title was transferred from the big house to the second room and inherited by Gan Jing, the descendant of Gan Lei. There are more than a dozen people who are eligible to participate in the New Year's palace.

It was already the end, and before noon, the brigade of the Gan family who had entered the palace hurriedly returned. Looking at the time, most of them did not receive the banquet in the palace. The Gan family is close to the children of the Beijing family, and they are all lined up on both sides of the street to wait.

The bustling Wuyi Alley suddenly fell silent. As far as the eye could see, it was an ox cart slowly approaching on the corner of the street.

Along the way, I don't know how many princes and ministers had chariots, horses, donkey sedan chairs, and avoided them one after another.

Just in this noisy downtown North Street, there is an alley that can only pass a carriage, both sides of the alley are high walls, there is only one family at the end of the wall, there is no hole in the big door, there is a hole in the sky, covering an area of half an acre, there is a row of side houses on the left and right, among which the five main houses are lined up. In the huge living room, there were six or seven people on each side of a huge brazier in the middle, nervous and confrontational with each other. One of the leaders is a middle-aged Dao Gu, tall and thin, with a dry and hard palm like fine iron, faintly cyan, grasping the merits to the realm, it is the original Tianshan faction outcast Merlot, who has disappeared from the rivers and lakes for forty years. In his early years, because he killed his master's family, he disappeared in the green forest. Qiu Jiu, the leader of the opposing side, has a white face and no beard, five short figures, and a body like a ball, and his white ape arms, cotton palms, and elastic legs are extremely high, and he is a layman master of Shaolin Temple.

I only heard Qiu Jiu say: "Lord Mei Qi, since the warning from heaven that year, the Holy Iron who came into the world with the Holy Sect Master of my Great Light Sect was first discovered by your envoys, and the two sides of the North and the South agreed that your Southern Sect would first inquire about the reincarnated Sect Master for three years, and if there was no result in three years, we would have the Northern Sect to inquire instead, and the two sides would take turns to find the Holy Sect Master for a period of one year in the future. Now that the three-year period has arrived, I hope you will keep your promise and provide us with the relevant information so that we can continue to search for the Master. ”

Merlot replied, "Didn't the Banner Lord receive the news?" In the past two days, the two envoys will gather in Jiankang to discuss the matter of the sect leader, and you and I had better not act rashly. ”

Qiu Jiu froze slightly, and was about to speak, only to hear a scream of "ah-" tearing the wind outside, coming from afar, which scream was heartbreaking, miserable, but it was obviously a lookout post one or two hundred meters away, which scream, the sound in the heavy snow calmed down again, "Ah-" The scream sounded again, the interval between the two screams was only an instant, the first scream was still a hundred meters away, and the second sound B was outside the gate. Everyone in the hall was taken aback, and Qiu Jiu and Merlot both snatched it out.

With a loud bang, I saw that the courtyard gate was violently slammed, shattered into several pieces, and flew towards Qiu Mei and the others. Qiu Jiu's palms poked out, turning into countless palm shadows and quickly slamming into the broken door block, and at the same time, his feet and attacking the enemy's lower three paths. Merlot rose into the air, a ghostly figure, and the claws of the sky snatched at the door. As soon as the two of them handed out their fists and feet, countless blood-red palm shadows appeared in front of them. "Ahh-------h

"It's a thousand hands and a thousand Buddha palms!"

Everyone saw a person dressed in a huge lama costume walk into the hall and said, "Deng Yu and Fang Tianhua are getting less and less grown, how can they send such a few wastes to do the things that greet the sect leader." ”

Half of the people in the hall knelt down and shouted, "My subordinates see the deputy sect leader." ”

At this time, a man with a long beard and dressed as a scribe said while shaking a folding fan in the ninth cold winter: "Your Excellency seems to have broken away from my holy sect, and you are not qualified to comment on the two envoys." ”

The reason for this is that three years ago, after the former sect leader ascended to heaven, he was expelled from the sect by the left and right light messengers when he snatched the position of the sect leader.

Danba glared at the scholar with a cold gaze and said, "Who are you?" ”

The scholar said: "The deputy flag master of the Flame Banner of the Xiaosheng Great Bright Sect is Kong Yang. ”

Danba used his long-sleeved abomination robe to attack Kong Yang with his iron sleeves, and said, "Nobody, the following will be committed." For the sake of the same teacher, I will spare your life. ”

Kong Yang saw Danba raise his right hand and hurriedly flew back with Tiyun Vertical Light Gong. With a "snap", Kong Yang felt like a lightning strike in his chest, and his entire body was hit more than a foot away, and his shirt was stained red with blood spurting out of his mouth.

Danba swept around the crowd: "If any of you tell the whereabouts of the reincarnated spirit child, it will not be difficult for the deity to be everyone, otherwise the deity will not be polite." ”

For a moment, the entire hall was silent.

Danba didn't say anything when he saw that everyone was screaming, and everyone felt that thousands of small insects had entered their bodies, and they were in pain. They fainted one after another.

East Hall of the Champion Hou Mansion.

Although it was snowing lightly outside, the room was burning with a cage, and it was as warm as spring.

In a room full of well-dressed and wealthy nobles, an old man was dressed in a sackcloth robe, and his hair was simply wrapped in a wooden hairpin. The crane has a childish face, a face like a heavy jujube, a third-rate white beard, and a restrained gaze.

The old man in this linen robe is the contemporary Taoist Taishan, Wulin Beidou, Wudang Mountain Wudang founder Zhang Sanfeng Zhang Zhenren.

Zhang Sanfeng entered Beijing this time at the invitation of Gan Fu and entered the Cao Guo Mansion to treat Gantang, the head of Gan's family.

Three years ago, his grandfather Bao Zhengong Gan Fu had just taken office as the official department, and it happened that the eldest son of Gan Fu Gong gave birth to Ling'er and was named Gan Tang. Gantang was born like other babies, Gantang full moon, Qimen Houfu for the Gan family children and grandchildren to do full moon wine.

Because when the army of Yan occupied Shandong that year, the Holy Duke of Qufu Yan led the Confucian family to surrender to Yan. Make the traitor's face to the extreme.

Emperor Suzong of Great Xia was eager to set an example of Gan's loyalty and patriotism in order to eliminate the adverse effects of the Confucian family in Shandong.

Before she arrived, Empress Xie Daoqing, accompanied by Wang Chun, the chief eunuch, came to the Cao State Mansion to pass the decree on behalf of Emperor Suzong, and enshrined Gan Tang as Wu Luolang. The queen Xie Daoqing gave nine gifts by herself, and the other imperial concubines in the palace also asked the queen to give gifts ranging from six to three loads.

The people who come and go to give gifts are either the dignitaries of the dynasty, or the three princes and nine kings of the court. The magnates in the army counted the doors.

Today, none of the major prefectures in the capital send housekeepers and the like to give gifts with their names, and most of them are the sons of each prefecture or the head of the family himself.

Among the nobles in a courtyard who are well-dressed and wealthy, there is an old man in a linen robe who can be regarded as a clear stream.

But the court is full of nobles, but no one dares to despise this person.

It just so happened that Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Zhenren traveled here, and was invited by Gan Fu to bless the eldest grandson full moon, thinking of the master-apprentice relationship with Gan Xiangsheng, Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Zhenren came in person to bless the little son.

Waiting for the queen and everyone in the palace to leave one after another, this is the beginning of the hustle and bustle of the Hou Mansion, in the Xuzhong Hall, Yue Fu and his brother Yue Guan personally accompanied Zhang Sanfeng and several elderly dukes to gossip.

"It's really slack, Zhang Zhenren has a lot of forbearance!"

Yue Fu in the Xuzhong Hall was full of smiles, and elegantly hugged his fists and apologized.

Since Zhang Sanfeng founded the Wudang School decades ago, he has traveled all over the corners of Daxia, even as far as the Western Regions of the Desert, in order to find the right path of Taoism. In the court and in the opposition, the virtue is highly respected.

Zhang Sanfeng has a different status and status, sitting in the position of the guest of honor, accompanied by the prime minister of the Gan family. The Ganfu brothers and a group of old dukes sat on either side.

The old lady smiled and said, "Zhang Zhenren, do you think you should eat first or take a look at my little grandson first?" ”

At this moment, Gan Feng hurriedly came in, bowed to the head and said: "Grandmother, father, mother, Tang'er somehow started a high fever, I thought I asked the housekeeper to invite the doctor to come to the house to see, I am afraid that it will not be good to bring it out again to meet with Zhang Zhenren and the elders of the grandfather, and ask the father and mother to decide." ”

The first Zhang Sanfeng Zhang Zhenren: "It's okay, take it out and let me see." ”

Cao Lei, the founding prince who was sitting on the side, said with a smile: "Look, there is an old immortal sitting here, and what are you going to ask those quacks to do?" ”

Mrs. Gan hurriedly said: "Don't bring my obedient Congsun here, let Zhang Zhenren take a look!" ”

After a while, I saw a palace beauty, holding a baby, accompanied by a few maids and mothers-in-law into the hall, a maid put the baby basket in the middle of the red sandalwood pole, the palace beauty put the baby into the baby blue and saluted everyone.

Zhang Sanfeng stood up, walked next to the baby, and looked at the baby in the basket. The baby's face was red due to a high fever, and his watery eyes looked at Zhang Sanfeng.

Several old people in the Gan family looked at Zhang Zhenren's face with concern, and suddenly saw Zhang Zhenren's face change, stretched out his middle finger to touch the bright red birthmark in the middle of the baby, and then put one finger on the pulse for a while, and after retracting his hand, he paced back and forth in the hall, showing contemplation.

At this time, the entire hall was silent, and everyone's eyes were uneasy with Zhang Zhenren's figure.

About the time of a small stick of incense, Zhang Zhenren turned his head to Yue Fu Zhengse and said, "Bao Zhen, please take a step to speak." ”

The two came to the side hall, and Zhang Sanfeng said to Gan Fu: "Bao Zhen, the little boy's pulse is stable, not a disease." The red birthmark in the center of the eyebrows is not an ordinary birthmark. If my expectations are not bad, the little boy has opened his eyes to the sky, whether it is a blessing or a curse, I can't think clearly. Since the beginning of the record, there are only three people in the history of the people who opened the eyes of the sky, including the little prince, the first is Yang Jian, the general of King Wen of Zhou, and the second is Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu in the Qin and Han dynasties. And Xiang Yu was cut off from his children and grandchildren, and there was no place to bury him. The little boy's high fever is related to this. The medicine stone is useless to the little boy, so he can only apply cold water to his heavenly eyes. The little boy has not yet grown mentally and mentally, and only when he is three years old can he try to help him solve his difficulties. Can you survive these three years, full-screen creation. ”

Time flies, Gantang has suffered a lot since he was born, at first it was nothing, but when it came to thinking. Memories of another world continue to pour into my mind. A powerful amount of information, for a baby, is like a small river, suddenly there is a river of water rushing in, and it is impossible not to overflow the embankment. So Gantang kept having a high fever. The river washed away the embankment, and Gan Tang would become a fool in his life.

Therefore, it is often said that one step ahead is genius, and two steps ahead is neurosis.

It was the height of summer, in front of the plaque of "Yuci Ji Zhongtang" in the east hall of Ganfu, the masters of each courtyard took a nap, and the maids and mothers-in-law naturally put out the sound, only a few little maids who were glued to the courtyard finished the work in their hands, and fell crooked under the west corridor, dozing off.

No one noticed that a boy dressed in silver walked out of the room lightly and stood under the east porch, staring at the white goose in the water.

If there are maids and daughters-in-law who see it, they will be surprised, because this boy is the heart and soul of the old lady in the house, Gan Tang, the only son of the head of the Gan family. The child, who had just turned six months old, had been lying in bed crookedly, and suddenly he was able to get off the ground and run out of the door.
