Chapter 13: Chaos in the Palace
When the sun set in the West Mountain, people came out of the inner house one after another, and after a while, Tang Ao saw Li Xian and Princess Taiping.
"Tang Ao, where did you go? I haven't been able to find you. Princess Taiping looked unhappy: "I want you to get them again!" As a result, you never come back. ”
Tang Ao explained: "I went with the housekeeper to get two ingots of gold, and when I came back, the servant who guarded the door did not let me in. ”
"Is there such a thing?" Princess Taiping was about to question the servants at the door, but was stopped by Li Xian.
"Taiping, let's go! What do you have to say to these subordinates? Li Xian didn't seem to want to stay here for even a second longer, and his face was a little abnormally red.
Taiping's mouth deflated: "Brother, are you still angry?" The aunt didn't mean it, Sister Minyue had already been reprimanded by the aunt. ”
Tang Ao guessed that after he left, something else must have happened at the birthday banquet, otherwise with Li Xian's temperament, he would not have lost his temper so much.
Li Xian said in a deep voice: "You are still young, you don't understand, you are not allowed to come to Rongguo Mansion again without me accompanying you in the future." ”
Tang Ao also wanted to see who the maid who was threatened by Helan Minzhi was, but unfortunately Li Xian left in a hurry, and the palace maid and eunuch did not return to the palace with them.
After sending Taiping back to the Taoist temple, Tang Ao and Li Xian came to the study, Tang Ao hesitated to tell Li Xian what he heard in the inner house, and listened to the meaning of He Lanmin's words, he didn't have a good heart for Princess Taiping!
Li Xian was sitting precariously, as if he was trying to calm down the unhappiness in his heart, and when he found Tang Ao's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, he asked, "What's wrong?" Anything to say? ”
Tang Ao nodded, feeling that he should say, otherwise he would be sorry for Li Xian's grace of knowing and saving his life, so he heard the conversation between Helan Minzhi and the Xinyue maid by chance, and told Li Xian about it.
Li Xian slammed his fist on the table, and said angrily: "A prostitute, face to face, God should have destroyed them with five lightning strikes, leaving them with no bones." ”
"Now you know why I let you follow the peace, right? Helan Minzhi relied on the favor of his father and mother, and he was unclear with Mrs. Rongguo, and his mother and sister were also a raccoon dog, even if Helan Minzhi really treated the peace, at most he would be reprimanded. ”
Tang Ao didn't expect Li Xian to tell him this kind of palace secret, and he was shocked, Helan Minzhi and Mrs. Rongguo? Isn't this incestuous and commonplace? Who is Helan Toshiyuki's mother and sister with...... Tang Ao felt that he couldn't think about it anymore.
Li Xian took a few deep breaths and soothed the depression in his chest: "Helan Min is extremely hateful, but unfortunately I have no choice, on the favor of my father and queen mother, I am not as good as him, and I am not as good as him in terms of personal bravery, I can only watch him continue to be arrogant and domineering, and it is really difficult to calm down!" ”
Tang Ao really wanted to solve problems for Li Xian, but he was young and had no other skills, so he couldn't help but think of Master Xuyan's various perverted secret methods, if he had half of Xuyan's ability, he would definitely be able to help Li Xian easily!
"How did you do it? It's also a cultivation and study of the Tao Sutra, why can't I do it? ”
After Tang Ao fell asleep, he tossed and turned and lost sleep again, and when he closed his eyes, he could recall Master Xuyan's various magical abilities, glowing palms, strange speed and body style, and so on.
In the past, Tang Ao would be frightened and afraid, but now ******** wants to help Li Xian solve problems, but when he thinks about it, the changes in the world are reversed, which can be called magical.
Tang Ao, who had no pajamas, simply turned over and got out of bed, he remembered that when he returned the brocade clothes and goldfish talisman to Li Xian, Li Xian put them in the study, he wanted to borrow the goldfish bag to go out of the palace and go to the Shenghua Temple to have a look.
The palace gate has long been locked, but there is still a passage for the palace people to transport filth, Tang Ao held the goldfish talisman, easily walked out of the palace, and went straight to the biochemical temple in the night.
Tang Ao now thinks back that there must be another mystery in Xuyan's meditation room, only to blame that he was frightened at the beginning and was not possessed by his soul, and then he was picked up by Li Xian and Di Renjie, and only now do he think about it, and it is not too late to hope.
The Shenghua Temple at night was extremely quiet, Tang Ao had lived here for nearly two years, and he would not go to the wrong place with his eyes closed, and he turned over the outer wall of the temple and came directly to the outside of Xuyan's meditation room.
Without waiting for Tang Ao to push the door, there was a sound of footsteps inside, which scared Tang Ao a lot, Xuyan's behavior was already very weird, at this moment Tang Ao couldn't help but think, didn't Xuyan die?
Tang Ao hurriedly hid behind the water tank outside the meditation room, and slowly craned his neck to look at Xuyan's meditation room.
After a short time, the door of the meditation room creaked open, and out of it came a short figure wearing a night robe, with a black cloth covering his face, and only Gu Pansheng's eyes were revealed.
"It's really here, but it's a pity that I came one step too late and died." Because his face was covered with a black cloth, the voice of the man in black was very dull, and after muttering, a few spiritual lights appeared under his feet, and his body jumped like a bird and disappeared into the night.
Tang Ao saw it clearly, sitting on the ground with his buttocks, he seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat in shock, and there was only one thought in his heart: "It turns out that there are people like Xuyan, there really is, so isn't he still in danger?" ”
Tang Ao recovered for a long time, remembering the purpose of his visit, although he didn't report any hope, he still wanted to go in and have a look.
Xuyan's meditation room was cleaned, and even the secret door of the secret room was opened, Tang Ao searched around the secret room, and the walls were also knocked inch by inch, and there was no secret grid left.
Tang Ao frowned, he had served Xuyan more or less for a year and a half, especially after Xuyan contracted the wind cold, he even sent three meals a day to Xuyan's bedside.
At this moment, he recalled Xuyan's various actions in his mind, and suddenly slapped his head, and turned around and came to the side of the meditation bed in the meditation room.
"Every time I leave, it seems like he reaches for this position." Tang Ao lay on the bed and stretched out his hand in the posture of Xuyan, where it was originally the position of the pillow, but the pillow was gone.
"Is it just a habit?" Tang Ao scratched a few times at the head of the bed, but found nothing, just when Tang Ao was about to get up, he looked at the door with the line of sight in this posture, and a smile appeared on his face.
Tang Ao put a few stones on the chair, groped his feet above the door frame, and took out a small box the size of a walnut, which seemed to be used to hold pills.
Tang Ao blew the dust on the small box, and when he opened it, it was not the pills he had eaten, but a golden mass, similar to gold leaf.
"This ...... It seems like I pushed something on that shiny golden corpse when I was a kid. Tang Ao opened the gold leaf.
The texture is not as hard as gold leaf, but soft as silk, and the memories of his childhood come to mind when he pushed the corpse back then, a few of these small boxes fell out of the corpse, but he didn't expect Xuyan to pick up the golden corpse at the same time, and also picked up this thing.
The gold leaf is densely written with handwriting, and after reading these fonts for a long time, I feel like a small fish swimming in a trance, which makes people feel dizzy and almost want to vomit.
Tang Ao endured the discomfort of his body and read through the words on the gold leaf, only to know that this was part of an article called "Taishang Seven Star Method", and Tang Ao, who cultivated the Dao Sutra, had a great feeling of being opened.
The Taoist scriptures that Xuyan asked Tang Ao to practice are just gong, and this Taishang Seven Star Law is the law, just like a bow and arrow, gong is a bow and the law is an arrow.
Tang Ao only cultivates the Tao Sutra, which is equivalent to forging a strong bow, but there is no arrow method, the Taishang Seven Star Law in front of him is an arrow, that is, the reason why Xuyan is full of blue light, it is precisely because he has cultivated this method of shaking light.
Tang Ao hid the Taishang Seven Star Method close to his body if he obtained the treasure, and guessed in his heart that the man in black was probably also looking for such a thing, but unfortunately he was not familiar with Xuyan, so he left empty-handed.
"This place is not to stay long." Tang Ao patted the place where the Taishang Seven Star Law was hidden again, like a civet cat, and slipped out of the Biochemical Temple.
When Tang Ao returned to the palace study, it was already the third watch in the middle of the night, and there was no sleepiness in his heart. He took out the gold leaf again, and looked fascinated, hoping to learn a secret method like Xuyan as soon as possible, which would help Li Xian.
When he was in the Biochemical Temple, Tang Ao had a cursory look at it, and when he studied it again, his face, which was still happy just now, gradually turned into a bitter gourd face.
Xuyan originally cooked Tang Ao as a delicacy and handed it over to Tang Ao Daojing, but those pills were very problematic.
Tang Ao only now understood that the purpose of the pill was to modulate his body, so that his whole body acupuncture points were occluded, and he could only practice exercises, not practice the Fa.
After taking so many pills, nine out of ten of the tricks described in the Taishang Seven Star Method were blocked and blocked, and wanting to cultivate this Taishang Seven Star Law was simply wishful thinking.
The ups and downs of his mood made Tang Ao's eyes black, and he didn't catch a breath, and fainted on the bed.
When Tang Ao woke up again, it was bright outside, and the Taishang Seven Star Method in his hand was shining in the sunlight, but the more he looked at it, the more depressed he became.
Tang Ao had already understood that he had already cultivated to the realm of refining and refining qi, which was much higher than Xuyan, but because he was unable to do so, the acupuncture points of his whole body were blocked, and he was cut off from continuing to cultivate in this life.
"If I can still go to that dream world, maybe there will be a way." Tang Ao looked at the gold leaf in his hand and remembered that Xuyan had said that the world in his dreams was actually real, and the magic elixirs such as ginseng fruit were also obtained from it.
Tang Ao, whose mind was hot for three seconds, couldn't help but sigh again, since he entered the Biochemical Temple to the present, he even dreamed has become a luxury, he used to be afraid of dreaming, but now he wants to do it but can't do it, why did his ability to dream disappear like this?
Tang Ao remembered the terrifying feeling of being like a 10,000-pound boulder when Li Xian rescued him that day, and thought it was caused by fear at the time, but now that he recalls it, it was definitely not an illusion, something really pressed on him!
