Text Chapter 72, Fu Ping (1)
Hu Yidao took out the dagger and handed it to the Xuanfa Daoist. Xuanfa took the dagger, looked at it carefully, and said, "Sure enough, it's Senior Brother Xuanyi." Then he said: "Senior Brother Xuanyi asked you to come to Lao Dao, do you have any thoughts about this Luoyang City?" ”
"That's what the Taoist said." Hu Yidao replied, "We hope to create contradictions among the officers and soldiers in Luoyang and provoke a rebellion. ”
Xuanfa listened, nodded and said, "This is indeed a way." But success depends on how much pressure your military can put on the officers and soldiers. This matter, the old way to arrange. Don't go into the city today, but tomorrow morning, the old way will take you into the city. ”
When Hu Yidao heard this, he stood up and hugged his fists and said, "Everything is under the orders of the Taoist chief." ”
Xuanfa nodded. asked some more about the revolutionary army and Xuanyi Daoren, and Hu Yidao also answered them one by one. Xuanfa said: "Brother Hu, please sit down a little longer, Lao Dao will arrange dinner, and after dinner, talk to a few more people." ”
Hu Yidao heard this, and said, "Daoist, please take care of yourself." ”
Xuanfa nodded and walked out. But instead of going to the kitchen, he went straight into the backyard. As soon as I entered the gate of the backyard, I saw the little Taoist boy waiting there. When the little Taoist boy saw Xuanfa coming, he grabbed him and said, "What do they say Senior Brother Xuanyi is doing now?" ”
Xuanfa smiled: "Why are you in a hurry, little girl? Xuanyi, he's fine! Judging from the tokens he brought to people, now Huang Zide's luck has risen sharply, and the cultivation of Senior Brother Xuanyi has also risen step by step, I am afraid that it will not be long before he can break through to the realm of real people, which is really enviable. ”
"Senior Brother Xuanyi's progress has always been fast." The little girl who pretended to be a little Taoist boy said, "I just want to ask when Senior Brother Xuanyi will come here." ”
Xuanfa looked at a room with green veils on the window next to him, and said with a smile: "This, it depends on how long it will take Marshal Huang to take Yongning and Yiyang." However, these two counties are not strong, and it shouldn't take long to take them, so, well, Xiao Nizi, you will be able to meet your Senior Brother Xuanyi soon. Okay, I won't talk to you more, I'll go to the kitchen and arrange dinner. ”
With that, he slowly walked out of the backyard door, closed the door, and went to the kitchen.
But the little girl turned and went into the room with the green screen, and smiled at a female crown of about fifteen or sixteen years old who was sitting in the room writing:
"Senior Sister Yan, I'll just say that Senior Brother Xuanyi must be fine. They are all about to break through to the realm of real people, Senior Brother Xuanyi is only a little older, Master is known as the number one cultivator genius in this sect, and he has only broken through to real people in his forties, right? Senior Brother Xuanyi is good-looking, kind and capable! It's amazing! ”
The female crown raised her head, and under the curved eyebrows, her eyes that were as flexible as mercury flashed with a smile:
"Chonghua, your senior brother Xuanyi is good, but don't forget what Master said."
"What did Master say?" The little girl asked.
"Well, do you remember the year before last when we followed Master to meet Senior Brother Xuanyi outside the screen, and after we went back, what did Master say to you?" Yan Yu said with a smile, her slender willow eyebrows curved like two crescent moons.
"What?" The little girl said with a thoughtful look, "Why don't I remember?" ”
"When we went back, you said to the master, 'Senior Brother Xuanyi must be a good person.' Master asks you, 'How do you know?' You replied, 'Master is a good man, Master's brother must be a good person, and Master's brother's apprentice is naturally a good person.' Besides, Senior Brother Xuanyi looks so good-looking, more like a fairy than the gods in the painting, of course he is a good person, Master, you see, the bad guys in the painting, as well as the demons and monsters, are very ugly...... Master, do you think I have a point? ’”
"Ah, senior sister, I remember that time...... On that occasion, Master obviously said this, and Master said, 'There is some truth in the first half of your words, but the second half of your sentence is ...... Yan Yu, don't just laugh at your junior sister on the side, you also listen. Confucius said: 'Judge people by their appearance, and lose their sons.' Confucius's so-called loss is nothing more than mistaking a good person for a bad person. Honestly, it's not good, but it's not the worst. The worst thing is to judge people by their appearance, but to treat bad people as good people! Master is here to tell you a word, you must remember: men can deceive people, and the more beautiful men are, the more they can deceive people! 'Well, Senior Sister, Master's words are addressed to you! ”
"That's what I said to you." Yan Yu smiled, "Otherwise, why do you care so much about your Senior Brother Xuanyi, as soon as you come here, you will ask Senior Brother Xuanfa about him?" ”
"Humph! I'm here to ask for you! Dog bites Lu Dongbin! The little girl blushed anxiously, "Hmph, don't be like I don't know anything, I'm obviously going to Jingshi, but you just want to come here in a circle." Here's why! Hum! Don't be like I don't know anything! I'll help you ask, and you're still teasing me, don't get along with you! ”
As she spoke, the little girl turned away angrily.
Yan Yu put down the pen, stood up gently, walked behind the little girl, stretched out her hand, hugged her into her arms and said, "Okay, senior sister knows that you are the best for senior sister, so I won't joke with you......"
"Humph!" The little girl snorted with disdain on her face, but squeezed into Yan Yu's arms again.
……
After dinner, the Xuanfa Taoist invited Hu Yidao to his room. When a few people came in, the Xuanfa Taoist closed the door, and then lifted the picture of Lao Jun riding a bull on the wall, and saw a handle behind it. The Xuanfa Daoist pulled the handle, and one of the floors moved to both sides, revealing a tunnel.
"A few people, please come with the poor road." After the Xuanfa Taoist finished speaking, he lit a pine torch and walked down first.
Hu Yidao followed the Xuanfa inside, the tunnel went deeper and deeper, and after walking for a while, the sound of running water came from his ears.
"This tunnel leads to a cave underground." Xuanfa Dao, "It was discovered by accident when this temple was built. But it happened to be a secret place. ”
As they spoke, Xuanfa had already led them to a huge stone hall. With the light of Songming, Hu Yidao saw that the stone hall was full of stalagmites and stone pillars. And on the ground in the middle, there is a model of a rather large city.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the model of Luoyang City." "There may be some discrepancies in the details, but that's pretty much it. In the future, when Marshal Huang's army arrives, he can come here to study the military situation. Our Taoist temple also has an industry in the city, which is a restaurant, called "Drunken Immortal Building", which is here, not far from Fuwang's Mansion. Speaking of which, Fuwangfu also has a few dry shares in this restaurant (these years the tax is too heavy, the general livelihood is difficult to maintain, only the industry is invested in the palace, in order to avoid this tax, so in Luoyang City, almost half of the industry, there are Fuwangfu dry shares. )。 How many of you don't know who speaks Henan well, and can talk to people? ”
Hu Yidao said: "If you want to talk about Henan well, and you can talk to people, it is none other than this Wu Kuangming brother." ”
Xuanfa glanced at Wu Kuangming, and saw that he looked ordinary and looked very inconspicuous, so he nodded and said: "Tomorrow, there is a Dharma event in the Fuwang Mansion in the city, and Poor Dao is also a little famous here, so Fuwangfu also invited Poor Dao, and Poor Dao also took this opportunity to explore some things, and secondly, he could also spread some words to influence them." This Wu brother went into the city with Poor Dao, and Brother Wu went to the drunken immortal building to be a buddy for a few days, and said that he was a relative of Poor Dao's hometown, and Lao Dao took advantage of it, and Brother Wu was first regarded as the nephew of Lao Dao's distant relative, and he came to Lao Dao after a disaster. With this identity, it is convenient to go in and out of the city to spread the news. ”
Speaking of this, Xuanfa glanced at Hu Yidao again and said: "Brother Hu and several other brothers have stayed in the view these days, if there is a time to use you, I will bother you." ”
Then the Xuanfa Daoist carefully made up their new identities with a few people, so as not to leak out the flaws if they were asked......
Early in the morning of the second day, the Xuanfa Daoist took Qingfeng and Wu Kuangming to Luoyang City.
Since Huang Zide relied on sneak attacks to capture the two big cities of Songxian and Ruzhou in succession, the defenses of various cities in Henan have been greatly strengthened. There were more than 200 officers and soldiers at the gate of the city. Those who wear helmets and armor are elite at first glance. There is also a Hongyi cannon on the wall in front of the castle tower. And people who enter and leave the city are also under closer scrutiny.
Everyone who entered the city was stopped one by one to look at the road guide and even search their body. Fortunately, there is chaos now, and there are not many people entering and leaving the city, otherwise, according to this method, I am afraid that I will not be able to enter the city until dark.
However, Xuanfa Daoists don't have to be searched and checked. Because he has traveled extensively in this Luoyang City, he knows many nobles, and of course the people who watch the city gate also recognize him, so naturally they will not come to check him. As for Wu Kuangming he carried, the Xuanfa Taoist only said: "This is my distant nephew, who fled to me from the famine." No one asked him, and he didn't even have to check the road. After all, a few people who fled the famine still have roads?
After entering the city, Xuanfa first took Wu Kuangming to the "Drunken Immortal Building", called the shopkeeper Lu Sanchun, handed Wu Kuangming to him, and asked him to take him to familiarize himself with the place. He also said: "Shopkeeper Lu, my nephew's legs and feet are faster than ordinary people." Some errands can be done for him later. In the past few days, you will let people take him around the city to know the way. ”
Lu Sanchun agreed. Xuanfa said to Wu Kuangming: "Follow Shopkeeper Lu, ask more, learn more, don't keep thinking about being lazy, you know?" ”
Wu Kuangming also agreed, and Xuanfa said to him again: "You follow the shopkeeper Lu in." Shopkeeper Lu, there is a house, and the poor road wants to change his clothes and go to the palace. ”
Shopkeeper Lu hurriedly said: "Yes, yes." ”
took Xuanyi, Qingfeng and Wu Kuangming to the backyard. Xuanfa went to the room and changed the clothes on his body into the Tianxian Cave clothes, and then left the "Drunken Immortal Building" and went to the direction of the palace with the breeze that had also changed into the clothes.
