The autumn night is cold, clear and lofty.

Wang Xuan and Mo Qingrou walked together, walked on the small stone arch bridge, the black boats in the river floated, the lights on both sides of the bank were rows, the crowd was bustling, there were both fire-breathing juggling, merchants shouting, and light singing and dancing, wine and meat were fragrant.

The Chamber of Commerce Ceremony is not only the gathering of three religions and nine streams, but also the most relaxing time of the year for the people.

Mo Qingrou had already taken off her veil, and her beautiful appearance surprised passers-by, but Wang Xuan and his entourage were extraordinary, with a giant-like ugly Buddha munching on meat skewers, and Ah Fu who looked like a calf accompanying him, but no one dared to provoke him.

"I see."

Wang Xuan shook his head at Chen Qiong next to him and said, "I didn't expect that Master Liu was actually my father-in-law's teacher, could it be that there are ten extinct soul art clues?" ”

Liu Fuzi not only asked him to talk, but also asked Mo Qingrou and Ugly Buddha to go with him, and after Chen Qiong's explanation, he learned that he was entrusted by his father-in-law Mo Guanchao.

Chen Qiong said with relief: "Brother Wang, don't worry, Master Liu is known in the academy for his erudition and strong memory, and his vertical and horizontal skills, so he may know something." ”

"Hopefully."

Wang Xuan nodded slightly, and there was some expectation in his heart.

His "Candle Dragon Eye" can see through the three souls and seven spirits, and these days he naturally investigates carefully, wanting to lift the curse of the soul cultivation, but the result is chilling.

This kind of evil art obviously uses the technique of stealing beams and changing pillars, extracting the spiritual rhyme from the souls of the two, and fixing it with the resentment of the evil gods, although it will only explode after death, but the souls are worse than mortals.

rashly clear the resentment of the evil gods, and the two of them will definitely die.

Shanhai Academy is a sacred place for Confucian monks, and there are countless classics in the collection, and there may be a solution.

Of course, listening to what Chen Qiong said, Master Liu was mainly looking for him, and he didn't know why...

With all kinds of questions, Wang Xuan and his party came to the south of Xianquan City.

This side is relatively secluded, and the courtyards of deep houses are hidden in the bamboo forest, which are not connected to each other, and the people who come and go are very scarce.

Chen Qiong said in a low voice: "Actually, we arrived at Xianquan at noon, but the prince didn't mean to visit the ceremony, so he didn't meet Brother Wang in advance." ”

When Wang Xuan heard this, he suddenly understood.

The royal family and the family have already reached a tacit understanding, the Chamber of Commerce was established by the Xiao family, and the king of the state will naturally not stand for it, this time it is completely for the Japanese drum competition tomorrow.

This thing was first held by the state, and if it is done well and it is in the limelight, the states will inevitably follow suit in the coming year, and the king of the state will take a fancy to this name.

Unconsciously, several people have come to a bamboo forest stone road.

Before he could get closer, the sound of the piano was heard.

The bamboo leaves in autumn are half yellow and half green, the night breeze blows under the moonlight, and the fallen leaves fly between the rustling sounds, which seem to be integrated with the sound of the piano, and there is an inexplicable feeling of elegance and gloom.

Wang Xuan was nothing, but Mo Qingrou next to him stiffened, and a hint of excitement appeared in her eyebrows, "Do whatever you want and don't exceed the rules, and the intention is in harmony with the qin, is this a realm of forgetting the opportunity?" ”

Seeing Wang Xuan's doubts, Mo Qingrou explained softly: "Everything in the world has a way, and the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting naturally have a high and low realm. If you're not mistaken, you can already use the sound of the piano to cast spells. ”

"Oh."

Chen Qiong next to him was slightly surprised, and said with a smile: "Brother Wang showed off Miss Mo's cooking skills with me in the letter, but I didn't expect that she was also a master of the piano. ”

Mo Qingrou said in a low voice: "Qingrou just understands a little. ”

While speaking, the group has passed through the bamboo forest path.

The eyes suddenly opened up, but it was a small courtyard built by the pond, and in the pavilion next to it, an old man with a high crown in a Confucian robe was bowing his head and stroking the piano.

The bamboo forest, the pond, the small courtyard, and the moonlight, the old man seems to be completely integrated into it.

Everyone did not disturb and quietly enjoyed the sound of the piano.

Wang Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, a little surprised.

Mo Qingrou and the ugly Buddha, who were obsessed with the sound of the piano, had black smoke rising from their bodies, which was similar to the method of exploration used by Cen Xuzhou, the master of the Yuanmen of the Earth that day.

However, this Liu Fuzi borrowed the sound of the piano and used it at will, like an antelope hanging horns without any traces, which is obviously more than clever.

After a while, the sound of the piano stopped, and this harmonious charm disappeared.

The old man sighed faintly: "Sure enough, it is ten extinct soul techniques, but it is a pity that it is a good talent and beautiful jade." ”

Wang Xuan hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand: "Master, is there a way to save him?" ”

Shanhai Academy follows the ancient system, does not stick to a single school, and can get the title of master to preach and receive employment, and is already a master like the railway people.

"Difficult."

Liu Fuzi shook his head and said: "The Ten Extinct Soul Techniques originated from the troubled times of various countries, fusing many lost secret techniques, once they are used, it is difficult to break the mirror, even if you find the evil god and kill it, you will not have the power to return to the sky." ”

Wang Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, "If you find the culprit and reverse it according to the evil art, can you crack it?" ”

Liu Fuzi pondered for a moment, "This method is also feasible, but this evil method is not trivial, even if many masters cooperate, I am afraid it will take decades of hard work, and then..."

As he spoke, he shook his head slightly.

Half the words, but the meaning is already clear.

Decades later, Mo Qingrou's blood declined, and she had already missed the opportunity to practice.

Wang Xuan was thoughtful, and then arched his hand and said, "What did the master tell me when he came to me?" ”

"Don't rush, sit down and talk."

Liu Fuzi nodded calmly, then took out a jade bottle from his arms, handed it to Chen Qiong and instructed: "This is the "Zhengxin Pill" refined by Senior Brother Wu, you take them to refine and take it, although it can't get rid of evil spells, but it has the power of calming the soul and nourishing the heart. ”

"Yes, Master, please come with me."

Chen Qiong took it respectfully, and then walked to the small courtyard with Mo Qingrou and the ugly Buddha.

Wang Xuan gave Mo Qingrou a reassuring look, and then sat down on the stone bench in the pavilion.

Liu Fuzi looked him up and down, and then stroked his beard and said: "This time, the old man is entrusted by the tide to watch his little girl's soul technique, and the other is entrusted by the prince to be a lobbyist, and he wants you to compete for the first place in the snare drum play." ”

Just for this?

Wang Xuan was stunned, his brows furrowed slightly, and said: "The prince has said this, but it is a matter of the dispute between the three families, and Xiao Zhongmou has already used a plan, so what's the use of fighting for it?" ”

"The old man already knows about the ceremony."

Liu Fuzi smiled slightly, with a playfulness in his eyes, "Whether it is watching the tide or the prince, they all say that you have an extraordinary mind, and the military temple is unparalleled, can't you see through Xiao Zhong's plan?" ”

Wang Xuan was startled, and then fell into deep thought.

"Sima Wei and Wei Zicheng came to provoke, and the Xiao family will inevitably fight back, but with one enemy and two, even if they take advantage of the home field, they may not be able to win, and they also called the prince, the master and the veterans of the Bi Fang army..."

said, his eyes were a little strange, "Xiao Zhongmou doesn't need to win, he just needs these two to lose!" ”

"That's right."

Liu Fuzi stroked his beard and said: "The power in the army, after all, depends on the strength, the two are good at the way of the beast control organ, not only to fight for power, but also to take advantage of the rotation of armaments." ”

"I see."

Wang Xuan suddenly realized, no wonder the two families did not hesitate to offend the Xiao family, but also came to provoke.

The cultivation of war beasts in the army, the replacement of ordnance, the interests involved are enough to make people risky, Sima Wei and Wei Zicheng are only in charge of one place, and it is estimated that there will be people at other levels.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Wang Xuan's mouth, "Bi Fangjun's power has changed, I am afraid that it is not only the Sima family and the Wei family that want to fight, if I am Xiao Zhongmou, I will simply drag these two families to lose face, in exchange for benefits." ”

Liu Fuzi smiled but did not speak, stroked his beard and nodded.

Wang Xuan hesitated for a moment, and arched his hand: "Thank you Master for solving my doubts, but the three families are fighting, why do I have to wade into this troubled water?" ”

Liu Fuzi stretched out his hand, and a chessboard suddenly appeared on the stone table, and jade chess pieces fell like raindrops, and suddenly a dazzling chess game was put on display.

"The soldiers talk about the situation, how about the little friends play against each other?"

Wang Xuan frowned slightly, "Master, this situation... Is it Dayan and Southern Jin? ”

Liu Fuzi didn't speak, he fell directly, and chose the side of the Southern Jin Dynasty.

Although Wang Xuan had doubts in his heart, he also started to try to break the game.

He also knows the situation in Dayan, and obviously has the upper hand, as long as the government army restructuring is completed, a majestic general trend will be formed.

At the same time, he also had doubts in his heart.

Although the general trend of the world is like a chess game, there are many chess players hidden in the shadows, and the variables cannot be predicted.

And this Liu Fuzi seems to be casual and doesn't care about winning or losing...

But gradually, he realized that something was wrong, and his eyes became more and more solemn.

In the end, he stopped and sighed slightly: "Liu Fuzi is indeed a good lobbyist. ”

Liu Fuzi stroked his beard and smiled, "It's good to understand, under the general trend, how can the pawns who crossed the river have a reason to retreat, you are now using the power of Tu Su and the Xiao family to temporarily maintain stability, but you are also burying disasters for yourself." ”

"If you are a dumb person, it is fine, but since you have become famous and are not willing to be driven by others, you can't miss any opportunity."

Wang Xuan's eyes moved slightly, "What if the wood is beautiful in the forest?" ”

Liu Fuzi calmly put away the chessboard, "The wind can pull out the wood, but it can't destroy the mountain!" ”

Wang Xuan suddenly realized, got up and hugged his fists:

"Thank you for your advice."

Liu Fuzi sighed slightly, "The old man's blood is about to decline, and he can't help anything, watching the tide is that I watched him grow up, so I naturally don't want to see his family buried with you." ”

The corners of Wang Xuan's mouth twitched, "Master, don't worry, Wang's life is very hard." ”

……

The "Zhengxin Dan" given by Liu Fuzi is not a mortal thing, and the ugly Buddha can say that Mo Qingrou has no true Qi in her body, and she can only use the breathing method to absorb it slowly after taking it.

When everyone left the bamboo forest, the morning light appeared on the horizon.

Outside the forest road, an ancient bronze chariot was parked, and a giant war horse covered with black scales in front of it snorted and sparks splashed in its mouth.

Next to the chariot, a soldier of the cavalry army with gold armor and a cold face arched his hand and said: "I am humbled by the order of the prince to send a horse to the captain." ”

Mo Qingrou Bingxue was smart, and immediately guessed, and looked at Wang Xuan worriedly, but did not say anything.

Wang Xuan let out a long sigh, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Qingrou rest assured, watch her husband take the lead and play!"
