The Golden Purple View is built against the mountain, and the palace is layered on top of each other, like the fairy palace in the painting, shrouded in verdant and clouds.

The abundant rainwater from the mountains collects into the stream below the valley, and the clear water crashes against the boulders scattered in the river, making a loud noise. The sound penetrated into the ears of a long-haired and squinting Taoist without any interruption to his cultivation. The long-haired Taoist sat cross-legged on a platform jutting out of the cliff of the Golden Purple Temple, with a futon made of hemp and straw under him, and a gossip pattern made of black and white stones pressed under the futon.

The long-haired Taoist Qingyunzi is the steward of the Golden Purple Temple, and the abbot of the Golden Purple Temple, and the eldest apprentice of Jin Xuanzhen, who is known as the old immortal by the common people.

Every time he meditates and practices qi, Qingyunzi will come to choose this place with excellent scenery. Not only does the position not change, but so does the bearing. The same disciple thought that his method of practicing qi was the Bagua direction. And he himself knew that his method of practicing qi was ass. Why, because under his two-petal buttocks, there are just two fish eyes that press the yin and yang of Tai Chi gossip!

A Taoist of medium stature and sturdy physique hurriedly climbed up the stone steps under the platform, raised his eyes and saw that Qingyunzi was practicing, hesitated for a moment, and still walked over.

"Senior brother, the royal soldiers have gone up the mountain again!"

Qingyunzi took a deep breath of the aura of heaven and earth, and slowly contained it in the dantian. Wait until your breath is even, and then slowly open your eyes. At this moment, the tips of his fingers suddenly touched the crossed knees, and his body suddenly grew three feet taller, and he stood up directly from the futon.

Qingyunzi showed his hand beautifully, but he didn't let the junior brother exclaim.

"Senior brother, these royal soldiers are searching the mountains back and forth, and they still refuse to stop!" The junior brother's voice was a little urgent.

"Third junior brother, don't worry, since Jin Ziguan has protected you from the beginning, then you can't give up halfway, you must always start and finish!"

Qing Yunzi said affirmatively, as calm as if no one was fine. SEEING THAT HIS JUNIOR BROTHER'S EXPRESSION WAS SLIGHTLY FLUSTERED, HE COULDN'T HELP BUT SCOLD SOFTLY: "SINCE YOU HAVE BEEN CONFERRED THE URN (LU), YOU WILL ENTER THE DOOR; As soon as you enter the Dao Gate, you will learn the Dao Law. The most mundane things are the most distracting. Now that the matter is done, don't think about it anymore, just cultivate the true qi! ”

"Yes! Big brother. It's just ......" The Taoist wanted to say something else, but when he saw that Qingyunzi was hooked again, he had to retreat.

Heaven and earth are in my hub!

A breath of clear air entered his chest, and Qingyunzi suddenly felt as light as a swallow, as if floating in the void. After a long time, this strange feeling disappeared, and his feet were back on the ground. Could it be that his own skills have been perfected, and he must ascend before his master? Qingyunzi was happy, but also a little regretful. He thought of the annoying Wang Fu soldiers, and thought of the master, so he had to put away his posture and walk off the platform.

Qingyunzi bypassed several side halls to the open front yard, entered the Heavenly Master Hall from the side gate of the Sanqing Palace, and turned right from the side door of the Heavenly Master Palace, and drilled into a deep corridor. After turning two corners, I reached the end of the corridor, and suddenly my eyes opened up, and it turned out to be an exquisite and elegant courtyard. Strange flowers and plants in the courtyard, strange fragrance; Strange rocks, transparent yin and yang. Set against the verdant cliffs, there are three houses with white walls and black tiles. The owner of the Jingshe is Qingyunzi's master, Jin Xuanzhen.

Qingyunzi walked into the small courtyard and skimmed towards the fine house. Under the shade of flowers and stones, the door of the fine house was closed, not only that, but there were also the sounds of women's pain in the middle of it. Seeing Qingyunzi coming, the little Taoist boy in the courtyard hurriedly stepped forward and looked at Nunu in the Jingshe, signaling that the master was cultivating and should not be disturbed.

Qingyunzi has followed Jin Xuanzhen for more than 30 years, so he naturally knows the master's daily cultivation method. He nodded to Xiao Tong, and Xiao Tong hurriedly came up with his ear and told him about the master's recent situation. After listening in a hurry, Qingyunzi rewarded Xiao Daotong with a smiling face, and after a few words, he slowed down and pretended to appreciate the flowers and strange stones. The soldiers of the royal palace were climbing the mountain in a hurry, and they couldn't come up for most of the hour, and they weren't in a hurry for a while.

Soon, the movement in the ashram stopped.

Qingyunzi remained silent. He walked over to the flowers, pinched them with his fingertips, and a flower lay flat in his palm. Looking at the delicate flowers, Qingyunzi's calm heart finally swept a trace of waves.

Although Master's Yin and Yang dual cultivation method is in line with the natural Heavenly Dao and human ethics, it is also too laborious. It's better to sit on your buttocks, and this yin and yang qi will continue to pour into your body, wouldn't it be troublesome!

In this way, it is only a matter of time before one's Dao cultivation surpasses that of Master!

Qingyunzi was wandering for nine days, and Dao Tong came over and said, "Senior brother, the master has called you!" ”

Qingyunzi was wearing the nine-beam scarf on his head, shaking the blue robe on his body, brushing the dust, and walking calmly towards the Jingshe. Before he could enter the threshold, he saw a half-naked snow-white carcass with scattered temples, curled up on the floor, covered with a scarlet silk quilt. His master sat on the ground with his clothes half-open, his chest-length white whiskers trembling slightly, and his ruddy face seemed to have an angry expression.

"Master, is the double cultivation not smooth?" Qing Yunzi asked with concern.

"Isn't it going well!" Jin Xuanzhen's face was full of anger, "I was thinking of picking yin and supplementing yang." Who knows that her yin qi is empty, yin and yang are in harmony, and she has to use yang qi to make up for her! ”

"Oops!" Qing Yunzi was shocked, "Could it be that Master, your yang qi is damaged?" ”

Jin Xuanzhen didn't answer, just snorted heavily.

"In that case, Master, you ......," Qingyunzi hinted.

"You go down first!" Jin Xuanzhen shouted sharply. The woman got up timidly and ran out of the ashram wrapped in silk and barefoot.

"The medicine of Waidan, tonifying the kidneys and improving essence, adjusting yin and yang, can be absolutely indispensable!" As Qing Yunzi spoke, he looked out of the door and whispered, "Since it is dry, it will become a medicine residue, so Master might as well abandon it as soon as possible!" ”

Jin Xuan Zhenren nodded to Qingyunzi with satisfaction. This apprentice has always been sensible, and he knows the master's heart best.

"Hmmm! Go for it! ”

"Master, don't worry! There is one more thing to report: this royal soldier is here again! Thinking in vain, since the royal soldiers refused to stop, this Wang Gao and Wang Guangxing would be a scourge sooner or later, so it would be better to ......"

"Did those of their men leave any traces?" Jin Xuanzhen asked.

"No trace!" Qingyunzi's words are conclusive.

"When the two kings entered the mountain, it was late at night, and all those they met on the road were killed, so that no one knew about them. Their men hid in Pansi Cave (Note 1) but they were led by their own disciples, and no one else knew about it. Two days later, the apprentice led people to send poisoned wine and vegetables, and two hundred and seven people, none of whom were missing, all died in Pansi Cave. The horses outside the cave were killed together, and the horse's meat was used as meat. The horse bones were moved into the cave and the hole was filled with earth and stones. There is no worry about horses neighing and misdeeds, and there is no danger of long-term decay attracting snakes and insects. Before the apprentice came back, he also cut off the old vine of the valley rope bridge by the way. Idler, woodcutter, how to get in and out ......"

Speaking of this, Qing Yunzi couldn't help but show a mysterious smile.

"The royal soldiers counted that the righteous army had more than 200 horses, and the number of people eating horses and chewing must be a lot every day, and there was no Taoist temple to secretly take them in, so they could not hide in the mountains for a long time, so they always stared at the Taoist temples......

But as the saying goes, people are not as good as heaven. They couldn't have imagined that there were more than 200 horses and horses, and now there were only two kings and two leaders left! ”

"You've always been fine. Ben Dao thought about it, but only horse meat was flawed......"

"Master, last year, these two kings made a big fuss in Yuechi, and only collected less than 2,000 stone rents from 10,000 acres of Guantian. Thousands of refugees hid in the back mountains, ate and drank for nothing, and ate more than 1,000 stones in the blink of an eye! Without horse meat supplements, I'm afraid that the grain stored in the temple will run out sooner or later...... Master rest assured, the apprentice knows that Master has never eaten bad food, and he has already asked Master to eat for him. Chicken, duck, fish, these ordinary vegetables are naturally not missing! If there is a shortage in the mountains, the disciples will ask people to go to Shunqing Mansion to purchase, go once every three days, and return once every six days......"

The old fairy stroked his snow-white beard and smiled. Since this great disciple was in charge of the worldly affairs of the Dao Sect, he was able to concentrate on cultivation. As I get older, my spirit is getting better. Since he is so close, there will be nothing wrong with him. So Jin Xuanzhen asked in a whisper, "Where is that batch of silver...... Did the two kings ever know? ”

"It's still hidden in the Jinyun Cave near the Pansi Cave, and it has never been used. Except for the master and the apprentice, no one in the temple knows. ”

Taking advantage of the master's inquiry, Qingyunzi approached and said, "The apprentice is still worried about the second king. Now that the royal soldiers are searching the mountains day by day, they are terrified, so they have to pretend to be obedient and dare not be presumptuous. IT'S JUST THAT SUCH CUNNING (XIA) OUTLAWS, IT WILL BE A DISASTER TO KEEP THEM! If the king's soldiers leave, they will learn the truth...... Therefore, the disciples thought ......"

Qing Yunzi's voice did not fall, but he was interrupted by the old fairy's silver-white long beard shaking gently:

"It is a common principle to keep them in the same way as to take in those tenant refugees!

If the royal soldiers have the upper hand and save the people, they will have a good reputation. On the side of the palace, there will naturally be a return. Otherwise, why would those royal soldiers be respectful to this way?

If the rebels had gained the upper hand, Ben Dao would have risked his life to save the lives of the two leaders, and he would have lost a few thin faces, wouldn't he? Even if we knew that we had killed them, it was a last resort to save them! As for the silver taels, it is their life money! Now the royal soldiers are more and more urgent, as long as we can send them out safely, they will not ask for it!

Qingyun, you remember: the things of the world have ups and downs. Yin and yang are mutually beneficial, and the way of heaven is also. Today you go to court, tomorrow he will take the stage. Woe and blessing, the sky is difficult to see. Such as that Wang Guangxing, he was originally the younger brother of Wang Guangen, the king of Xiaoqin. Wang Guangen surrendered to the imperial court the year before last, and a battalion of officials was stationed in Yunyang. It is said that Wang Guangen once wrote his brother to recruit him, but Wang Guangxing still went his own way, burning, killing and looting, and did not change the true character of the righteous army.

He Ye, do you really think that the brothers can't close the wall?

Really? Fake also!

His two brothers are also betting on both sides, and they are no different from what we think! ”

The old fairy gave him some earnest teaching, which made Qingyunzi admire him so much. He suddenly understood that the gap between himself and his master was not the level of his Taoist cultivation, but the depth of his sophistication!

"Master is scheming, but he can't do it in vain! It's just that the apprentice recently heard from the people who came back from the mountain that the royal soldiers defeated the righteous army in Bazhou, and the king of food, the king of food, Ma Chao, and Chen Lin were all dead, and Zhang Xian, the king of neatness, was seriously injured, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead; Xing 100,000, Zhentian King and Shunhu Chaotianxing were defeated and disappeared. There are only three of the thirteen Bashan rebels who can retreat with their whole body, Yuan Tao, the king of heaven, and Bai Wuchang, the king of heaven. According to the foolish opinion of the disciples, I am afraid that this righteous army will not be able to come back in two or three years! ”

The news made the old fairy half-convinced: "Is this really the case? Wang Chaoyang has only been in charge for a few days, why shouldn't the righteous army be defeated so quickly! ”

"It's true! According to the legend, the official army first set a cannon in Bazhou and killed the king of the food, and then set a fire in the fishing creek field and burned Wang Youjin...... I heard that the little prince was happy, so the propaganda team of the royal soldiers sang a big drama in Baoning Mansion for three days! The people were crowded with people, vying to see it...... In vain, this news will not be fake! ”

"It seems that this little man really has some ability! It's no wonder that the old Taoist of Ziyang in Chengdu Qingyang Palace passed down the text, and asked a provincial Taoist to give the little son a honorific name! ”

The matter of the Supreme Title is not in a hurry, what should be urgent is how to deal with the two kings. But at this time, Qingyunzi had no doubts about his master's ability to make correct decisions.

"If it's urgent, it's chaotic...... Let's talk about it after the limelight of the past few days. The old fairy was really confident, "After a few days, the two of them were quietly disposed of, and the corpses were corroded and sent away, saying that they were found at random by starvation and disease." ”

Note 1: There really is a silk hole in Jincheng Mountain, which is not made up by Xiangmu.
