Handan, as the capital of the Liang Kingdom, has a history of thousands of years. The people of Liang said that there are three monsters in Handan, the emperor does not like the court and likes to hunt, there are no women in Tongquetai, all are eunuchs, and the great heavenly master in the grass house does not like guests to come. It can be regarded as the current situation of the ancient city of Handan.

The emperor loved to hunt, except for hunting according to the ancestral teachings in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and every month he had to hunt for ten days in the magnolia paddock. And the early pilgrimage that must be opened every day in the ancestral teachings is that it will not be opened if it can be opened, and it is best to open it once every three days, and it is impossible to open it every day.

Tongquetai was built by Emperor Wu of Liang two hundred years ago, when Liang was the strongest country in the world, and the emperors were plundered everywhere to enrich Tongquetai, but now, it was assigned to the twelve eunuchs of Liang as an office space, and there was no more woman.

Caolu, as the soul of the Liang Kingdom, no matter how the emperor's family changes, Caolu has always stood here. In recent years, the great heavenly masters of the grass house seem to be too close to the Heavenly Palace, which makes it very difficult for the laymen in the earthly world to visit them and see them.

According to legend, the grass house was originally the place where Zhang Daoling, the ancestor of Taoism, practiced, and it was just a simple grass house at the foot of an unnamed mountain. Now, after 2,000 years, Caolu has divided the entire nameless mountain under its rule. The name of the mountain became the grass house.

The sages said that if the mountain is not high, there are immortals, the water is not deep, and the dragon is spiritual. Today's grass house has become the bull's ear of the Daomen, and in terms of the number of sects, it has steadily suppressed the Wudang Mountain of the Great Song Dynasty.

The reason why Liang was able to survive the hegemony of the Nine Kingdoms a hundred years ago and was not completely killed by the Great Song Dynasty was also due to the intervention of the Caolu forces. The royal family of the Liang State has close contacts with Caolu, and there are even rumors that Caolu can already influence the succession of the king.

Halfway up the mountain of the grass house is where the disciples practice and live. Today the sun is shining, and the second senior brother and all the junior brothers and seven or eight people are basking in the sun on a grass.

Sun Tzushu is also there. It's been more than a month since he came to Caolu, and when he first came, he desperately resisted, and when he had the opportunity, he ran down the mountain, and all the great heavenly masters, heavenly masters, and disciples he met would pick up everything at hand and do it. The result is of course conceivable, he is not their opponent, he can only beat the people who come to worship, he can only beat the servants in the grass house, but of course he will not do anything to these innocent people.

Eventually, he stopped being so emotional, and he began to think rationally about how he could get out of here. At this time, Feng Xiaoting's master, Xuanyuan Huayu, the first great heavenly master of Caolu, came to see him.

Xuanyuan Huayu told him: Three years, after three years, you will come and go freely.

He wanted to ask if it would be okay for three months, but Xuanyuan Huayu told him, you don't have a choice, I have already negotiated with Qingtian Pavilion. Within three years, if Qingtian Pavilion wants to send someone to save you, it can only send the newly accepted batch of apprentices. Because it's a matter between young people.

Sun Zishu wanted to be his uncle, but he didn't say it, he chose to accept it silently. Because the facts are here, everything depends on strength. If he obediently cultivated Dao Gate spells and surpassed Feng Xiaoting in three months, or at least surpassed Han Ling'er, then the possibility of him escaping would be much greater.

"Zishu, do you know what is the most important thing in Daomen cultivation?" Feng Xiaoting took a grass in his mouth and lay comfortably on the grass to look at the blue sky.

Sun Zishu shook his head.

"It's the nature of the heart. Master said that no matter how talented you are, you may not be able to achieve anything. Talent determines the starting point, and the heart determines the end. Your talent may be high, but don't be complacent. Feng Xiaoting said.

Sun Zishu nodded.

Feng Xiaoting was picked up by Master Xuanyuan Huayu when he was a few months old, and there was nothing in the swaddling clothes, only an iron plate with the word Feng Xiaoting written on it, so Master took this name. After returning to the grass house, Feng Xiaoting, who was only a few months old, smiled when he saw people, and his warm and warm smile drunk the twelve great heavenly masters of the entire Heavenly Master Mansion.

So from then on, Feng Xiaoting became the favorite disciple of the Twelve Heavenly Masters. Even before this, Xuanyuan Huayu had already accepted Wei Jin, the eldest disciple with the highest talent and the fastest cultivation advancement, it did not shake Feng Xiaoting's position in the hearts of the Great Heavenly Masters in the slightest.

Sun Zishu doesn't have a good face for anyone now, even Xuanyuan Huayu, who forced him to take in disciples, but when facing Feng Xiaoting, he at least maintained a basic etiquette. On the night when he stepped into the grass house, Feng Xiaoting had a long talk with him. Feng Xiaoting told him, it's the same wherever you practice, we just don't want to waste a person with a talent for cultivation, if you have a grudge, you can send it to me, you can send it to the senior brothers, and even to the master, but please don't send it to the people who come to worship, don't send it to the servants. That's all I can ask of you.

With these words, Sun Zishu couldn't resent Feng Xiaoting. In fact, Sun Zishu's own character knows that it is difficult for him to hate a person, at most, he looks at people unpleasantly, and he can't hate them to this extent.

Today is the beginning of winter. In the early morning, many people went up the mountain to worship, and now in the afternoon, there are still pilgrims going up the mountain.

Feng Xiaoting and the others are halfway through the mountaineering road, and many people have climbed here and will rest here.

At this time, a middle-aged couple crawled here with their ten-year-old son panting and found a clean place for a family of three to sit down. The mother took out the kettle to give her son water, but the child just kept coughing, his pale face was flushed, and the mother frowned distressedly and stroked the child's back. The father looked around and saw Feng Xiaoting and the others, the father hurriedly stood up, walked over, and said respectfully: "Hello real person, the villain has asked the real person to say goodbye." ”

Feng Xiaoting stood up, nodded and said, "Is there something wrong?"

The man suddenly knelt down: "Please save my child, please..."

Feng Xiaoting picked up the man and asked him to speak slowly. The man looked at Feng Xiaoting's group of people again, and the more he looked at them, the more he felt that they looked like the disciples of the Great Heavenly Master that the people under the mountain said, so the man stood up and waved to his wife and children. The mother led the child to her, knelt down and kowtowed a few times.

It turned out that their family was from Anyang City, which was more than 200 miles away from Handan City. The child has been sick for nearly half a year. Cough today, fever tomorrow, weakness the day after tomorrow, rarely normal. In order to treat the child, everything that can be sold at home has been sold, and doctors from near and far have searched all over the place, but the child's illness is still not improving.

They are from the Liang Kingdom, and they have naturally heard of the supernatural powers of the Caolu Heavenly Master. In desperation, he came to Handan. Although they knew that the real people in Caolu had a noble status, and they would not be able to touch them nine times out of ten, even if they did, how could those heavenly masters and real people have the time to take care of them, but they still came up to the mountain to try their luck, and they were willing to sacrifice everything, including their lives, for the sake of the child and the couple.

Feng Xiaoting listened, reached out and touched the child's head, and said to the man: "The child's illness... It can be cured, but..."

When the couple heard this, they were pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly knelt down and pleaded with tears. Seeing that Feng Xiaoting's eyes seemed to be cold, the man hurriedly kowtowed a few more times and said: "Real person, my husband and wife are willing to give real people alchemy, just to save my child, please real people..."

"What nonsense!" Feng Xiaoting shouted: "If you want to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for not saving me when I die!"

Han Ling'er walked up and said softly: "Hurry up, this is our second senior brother Feng Xiaoting, I think you have also heard of it." Also, the matter of employing people for alchemy is purely a rumor, which was deliberately spread by the spies of the enemy country, and you must not spread it indiscriminately. ”

The husband and wife kowtowed again to admit their mistakes, the name of Feng Xiaoting, the second senior brother of Caolu, was known to everyone in the entire Liang Kingdom, but he didn't expect his luck to be so good, the man was happy in his heart, and said with a tearful smile on his face: "Thank you for the real person, now my baby is saved, thank you for the real person." ”

Feng Xiaoting sighed and said, "Come early tomorrow morning and wait for me here." Go ahead, go back first. ”

The husband and wife took the children and thanked them for their kindness and went down the mountain in tears. After running around for more than half a year, tonight, I'm afraid they can finally sleep peacefully.

That night, Feng Xiaoting found Master Xuanyuan Huayu. talked about treating a child in Anyang City, Xuanyuan Huayu smiled and said that you should give me less work in Langzhong, and you should treat the disease yourself. Feng Xiaoting poured tea for the master for a while, and pinched his shoulders for a while, saying Isn't it hard for me to be cured, if there is a general small problem, how can I use it to trouble you. Feng Xiaoting does often treat people who go up to the mountain to worship, after all, Taoist cultivation, alchemy and healing are also compulsory skills.

But the people are sometimes troublesome. When you cure an incurable disease, you will bring ten patients who cry for help from their fathers and mothers. Feng Xiaoting also knew that the patients could not be cured, but he always couldn't bear to watch those people wait for death in panic.

Although Master Xuanyuan Huayu often said that Lang Zhong couldn't save sentient beings, Feng Xiaoting couldn't manage sentient beings, he could only manage the things in front of him.

The next day, Feng Xiaoting led the child to find the master. Xuanyuan Huayu only glanced at it, then took out a golden pill for the child to take, and let the child take a bath with cold water once a day after returning for eighteen days. Sending the child back to his parents, Feng Xiaoting told them that the child's illness was fine, and he could be cured by taking a cold shower for 18 days after returning. The parents were very grateful, and despite Feng Xiaoting's opposition, they pulled the child to kneel down and kowtowed dozens of times, until his forehead was bleeding.

Feng Xiaoting watched the family of three go down the mountain happily, and felt quite warm in his heart, but when he thought of the master's golden pill worth at least five hundred taels, he felt a little distressed. After struggling in his heart for a moment, he said: "Five hundred and two lives, it's worth it." ”
