After Zhou Jingyang left Lingyun Academy, he came to Ruihan Pavilion, and Gui Chengxuan seemed to know that he was coming. As soon as he arrived in the pavilion, someone led it to the 10,000-volume library, and Gui Chengxuan had already made tea and waited for a long time.

Zhou Jingyang came to the case and asked, "Do you know I'm coming?" What is this place? ”

Gui Chengxuan said: "There is nothing in this world that I don't know about Ruihan Pavilion, as for this place, it is the library of ten thousand books in Ruihan Pavilion that hides the secrets of the world's people. ”

Zhou Jingyang looked around, there were numbered bookshelves, and the shelves were full of cloth bags, each with a mark on the bag, and the bag was the secret of this world. "Aren't you afraid of people grabbing so many secrets?" , Zhou Jingyang asked.

Gui Chengxuan smiled and said, "There have been a lot of robberies over the years, do you know the pivotal machine?" Then Gui Chengxuan informed Zhou Jingyang of the past.

This Ruihan Pavilion was created by Gui Yubi back then, who collected the secrets of people all over the world, established a business, and sold other people's secrets at a high price. With money, this Ruihan Pavilion has become more and more powerful, and it has been established for more than 50 years, and it has many secrets, including many royal scandals. Control this 10,000-volume library, and even control the lifeblood of famous people in various countries.

When Gui Yubi was alive, in order to seek the development of the sect, he sold many secrets between political enemies in the court. gained a lot of money and attracted a lot of enemies, so that many people later came to capture Ruihan Pavilion, including the Great Liang Iron Cavalry. Because Yaoshan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and when Gui Yubi founded the faction, he collected all the wronged and frustrated people from all countries, and there are many masters from all countries. In order to prevent one day, the royal family of Daliang, where Yaoshan is located, sent troops to attack the mountain, and invited Li Chengqian, the father of Li Jie, the second Liang general on the list of different scholars, and Cao Jianhui, the father of Cao Chenghui, the third general of the Liang military department on the list of different scholars, to jointly build a pivotal machine to defend Ruihan Pavilion.

Li Chengqian is a good person to study architecture, and Cao Jianhuan is good at making armor and arrows, and these two people were not very famous back then. And Gui Yubi saw the potential of the two, so he invited the two to go up the mountain with a lot of money. Gui Yubi himself is good at giving alms, and the three of them worked together to finally create this pivotal machine after eight years. It is hidden between the mountains and rocks, and can be fired several times with ten thousand arrows, and its power can kill the gods.

Later, in order to snatch the secrets of Ruihan Pavilion, Daliang once sent Lu Guyuan, who is now the first in force, to come, eight thousand iron horses, more than ten remnants returned, and the pivotal ambush machine became famous all over the world overnight. Even before Lu Guyuan had even climbed the mountain, he was defeated and returned, and since then, no one dared to attack this Ruihan Pavilion.

Li Chengqian and Cao Jianhuan made countless fortunes in Ruihan Pavilion in eight years, and later the pivotal ambush machine shocked the world, and these two people also became famous, and since then the two families have become famous families.

Li Chengqian's eldest son, Li Jie, has a high talent in building buildings and bridges, inheriting the Li family's family business, and the five famous buildings in the world are four from Li Jie's hands. Li Jiechang lamented that his talent in architecture was less than half that of his father.

Cao Jianhuan's only son, Cao Chenghui, inherited the foundation of the Cao family, and the Liang sword is strong and strong, and the crossbow is strong and the halberd is strong, which is inseparable from Cao Chenghui. In order to get Cao Chenghui, Yan Guo promised his Zibei Marquis to sit with the prince, but he was not moved. Cao Chenghui also said that he did not learn his father's skills.

The trio worked together to create it, and you can see how ingenious this pivotal machine is.

Zhou Jingyang listened with relish and asked, "Why did you bring me here?" Gui Chengxuan replied: "Your father-in-law asked you to come down the mountain to me, do you know why?" Zhou Jingyang shook his head to indicate that he didn't know, and then Gui Chengxuan said, "You grew up in Yao Mountain since you were a child, and you know very little about the things in the world, I promise your father-in-law that you can go to Ruihan Pavilion before you go down the mountain, and I will solve many doubts in your heart?" ”

Zhou Jingyang asked, "Can you ask anything?" "Anything goes"

The first question is, why did you promise my stepfather? What is your relationship with my stepfather? ”

"My father and your father-in-law are old acquaintances, and before he died, he instructed me to protect Lingyun Academy, and if Lingyun Academy asks for something, I will do my best to help it", Gui Chengxuan said, and sat down in front of the desk, filled the teacup, and called Zhou Jingyang to sit down together.

"In the troubled times, bandits are everywhere, Ruihan Pavilion has a pivotal ambush, but this Lingyun Academy is located at the foot of the mountain, although there are many masters in Ruihan Pavilion, if someone really has the intention to destroy the school, the pavilion master may not be able to protect it."

After drinking a cup of tea, Gui Chengxuan replied: "That's true."

"Then why is the academy safe and sound so far?" Zhou Jingyang asked puzzled

There are two reasons for this. First, Lingyun Academy has students all over the world, most of them are located in important positions in the courts of various countries, this ancient saying has clouds, teachers are like fathers, and those who want to move the school are more fearful and afraid. Second,... "Lord Guige, there is a slight hesitation when it comes to this.

Zhou Jingyang asked what the second reason was.

"Since your stepfather has asked me to solve your doubts for you, it doesn't hurt to tell you, do you know the true identity of your stepfather?"

Zhou Jingyang shook his head and said: "I have inquired over the years, and no one seems to know about my father-in-law's past."

Gui Chengxuan stroked his short beard and said with a smile: "Of course you can't find out, your father-in-law's identity can determine the luck of Liang Guo, how can you easily find out."

"Can you not buy Guanzi, old man?"

Gui Chengxuan continued: "Your father-in-law's real name is Zhu Longyu (Tun), and he came to this Yaoshan alone at a young age of thirty to found the Lingyun Academy. ”

"The surname Zhu, the surname of Da Liang Guo, is my stepfather the royal family of Da Liang?"

"Yes, not only the imperial family, but also the younger brother of the current Emperor of Liang. This Yao Mountain is in the territory of Daliang, because of your father-in-law's royal status, only people from all countries can enter Liang Land in troubled times and no one drives them away. Over the years, Emperor Liang has been sending people to secretly protect the school, which has kept the Lingyun School safe for decades. In order to protect the students who are enrolled in the school, your stepfather has stipulated that no one is allowed to go out after entering the school, regardless of their status. ”

Jingyang was shocked and asked, "Since you are a royal family, why did you come to this remote Yao Mountain?" Now that you have come, why is this Yaoshan uneasy to spend the rest of your life, what kind of school to run? ”

Gui Chengxuan closed his eyes, stroked his beard again and said, "This involves a tragic past of your father-in-law."

More than 30 years ago, Zhu Yuchen and Zhu Longyu were the two most respected among the seven princes of the Great Liang.

The eldest prince Zhu Yuchen was born to the queen, and he was thoughtful and familiar with martial arts. The third prince, Zhu Longyu, was born to Concubine Li, who was upright by nature, good at writing and writing, and studying astronomy and astronomy. The supporters of the two in the court are similar, and the first emperor did not intervene, and he also wants to see which of the two is more suitable to take over the beam.

If these two people earn clearly, they are really equal, but the first emperor is old, and I am afraid that time is running out. Lu Shang, who was a guest of Zhu Yuchen back then, offered a plan, before Zhu Longyu's biological mother entered the palace, there was a childhood sweetheart, this person was named Sikong Moxue. Sikong Mo Xue is the eldest grandson of the Sikong clan in Huzhou City, obsessed with martial arts, and the Sikong clan has the highest talent in the records.

Concubine Li and Sikong Mo Xueben have no guesses, Concubine Li is the daughter of Huzhou Thorn History, and was favored by Emperor Liang Xian at the age of sixteen and elected to the palace. Before entering the palace, Concubine Li saw Sikong Moxue and asked, Would you like to take me back to the mountains and forests, and never reappear.

Sikong Moxue was highly regarded by the family and was obsessed with martial arts, so he hesitated for a moment. Seeing this, Concubine Li slipped tears from the corners of her eyes and turned to leave. You must know that if Concubine Li left back then, she would also risk the whole family being punished by the Nine Clans. Even so, Sikong Moxue hesitated. Since then, Concubine Li has entered the harem, and the two have never seen each other again.

Many years later, Sikong Moxue has become one of the best masters in the rivers and lakes, and Concubine Li also gave birth to a prince, and the two should never have crossed paths in this life. It's just that the other party is the pain in the hearts of the two.

On this day, Sikong Moxue received a flying letter, and he hurriedly chased out the absence and disappeared his trace, and at this time, Sikong Moxue's martial arts were nowhere to be seen, which shows that this person's martial arts are above it.

The letter wrote that Concubine Li was seriously ill and wanted to see Sikong Moxue for the last time when she was dying. Sikong Moxue didn't believe that in order to avoid causing trouble to Concubine Li over the years, this past had been sealed in the dust. But the handwriting is indeed Concubine Li, and the letter saw the only gift that Sikong Moxue gave to Concubine Li, the dragon and phoenix jade pendant. In the end, the letter mentioned that in order to avoid the emperor's suspicion, it was destroyed after reading.

Sikong Moxue sneaked into the palace according to the time and place written in the letter, and actually came to the palace temple, Concubine Li was really there, but she didn't look like a person who was about to reach the limit.

Although the two hadn't seen each other for many years, they still recognized each other at a glance when they saw each other again, and both of them were shocked, and Concubine Li was just about to ask Sikong Mo Xue why he came here. An arrow flew in the air and hit the incense table between the two, and at this time, the Ouchi Forbidden Army had rushed to the Jongmyo Temple. Seeing this, Concubine Li shouted, "You go quickly." At this time, Qiu Huanchi, the commander of the Ouchi guards, had already come to the front, and with a palm, Sikong Moxue flashed sideways.

Qiu Huanchi said: "Since Your Excellency has such skills, why did you do such a reluctant thing, just pull out your sword and stab you." Sikong Moxue just dodged and didn't make a move, he didn't want to kill in front of Concubine Li. After three battles, Qiu Huanchi was killed with all his might, this Qiu Huanchi was a first-class master in the forbidden army, Sikong Moxue couldn't parry, and used his own mastery to shoot Qiu Huanchi to the ground with one palm. At this time, the forbidden army had arrived, Sikong Moxue saw the formation, glanced at Concubine Li, Concubine Li nodded, and Sikong Moxue flew up and appeared in everyone's sight.

Someone recognized Ye Zhiqiu, only Sikong Moxue had practiced in the Sikong family for a hundred years, and Emperor Liang Xiandi sent someone to Huzhou to find out the past between Concubine Li and Sikong Moxue, and determined that the two had an adulterous affair, so they locked Concubine Li in the cold palace.

Zhu Longyu was the life-saving mother, so he pleaded with his father, but Emperor Liang Xiandi was furious, and said that he would intercede again and put him in the cold palace. The ministers all persuaded the three princes to focus on the overall situation, this Zhu Longyu put filial piety first, where did he manage so much.

Then Zhu Longyu offered advice to the strategists, who could ask for the eldest prince Zhu Yuchen, if he was reckless, he could give everything he had, in exchange for the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military kneeling to beg the Son of Heaven, maybe Concubine Li had a glimmer of life.

Although Zhu Longyu found Zhu Yuchen, the eldest prince agreed to unite with the Manchu Dynasty to intercede, but the condition was that Zhu Longyu needed to withdraw from the court and return to the mountains and forests, and Zhu Longyu agreed.

In the face of the intercession of the Manchu Dynasty, Emperor Liang Xian thought of the past with Concubine Li, so he intended to forgive Concubine Li, cut her concubine treatment, and ordered her to think about it for a year.

Zhu Longyu was full of joy to greet his mother, but when he arrived in the cold palace, he saw that under the beam, among the white silk, there was a person hanging, and this person was Concubine Li. This concubine is honest by nature, and she likes to be clean, where can she afford such an insult, so she committed suicide to prove her innocence.

Zhu Longyu was grief-stricken, and after his mother's funeral, he found the eldest prince Zhu Yuchen again, and said I have a question, if you answer truthfully, I will fulfill my promise and return to the mountains and forests, and never ask the court. The eldest prince was secretly happy and asked him to ask. The third prince asked, "But you did my mother's business?" Zhu Yuchen replied: "This matter has nothing to do with me." "You dare to swear?" , the eldest prince did not hesitate and swore an oath, "I, Zhu Yuchen, swear that the death of Concubine Li has nothing to do with me, and if there is a lie, it will not be a good death." Zhu Longyu stared at Zhu Yuchen with wide eyes, and said after a while: "After I go into hiding, please be kind to my disciples and the civil and military forces who support me in the court." "They are all my Liang Wenwu, and they are the pillars of my Liang country, and I will not treat them badly", the eldest prince replied.

Since then, Zhu Longyu has returned to Yinyao Mountain, changed his name to Liang Zhong, and has not participated in the court. This Zhu Yuchen, who is now the Emperor of Great Liang Zhu Youwang, said that he sent someone to secretly defend Lingyun Academy, but in fact he was watching.

Liang Zhong never broke his oath, did not have contact with the old ministers, and only taught what he had learned to the students, and then this Lingyun Academy slowly became as famous as it is now.
