Chapter 146: Meet a Lamp
The next day, Guo Mo and Huang Rong asked where several temples in Taoyuan County were located, and decided to visit them one by one.
In fact, Guo Mo is not very sure whether "Nandi" is placed in a certain temple.
It's just that I can't find in my memory where the "Southern Emperor" lived in seclusion after becoming a monk, and even in order not to arouse Huang Rong's unnecessary "suspicion", he didn't dare to reveal the title of "One Lamp" master.
Fortunately, knowing that "Nandi" is around, following the four "fishermen and cultivators", which is also an obvious feature.
"Brother Mo, there are a total of five temples near Taoyuan County, and we have already run to three, but we have found nothing."
"In my opinion, the 'Southern Emperor' lives in seclusion, not necessarily in the temple, maybe in the deep mountains, we look for it like this, it is also in vain."
Of course, Guo Mo knew that there was little hope, in another space, it was Huang Rong who was injured in the iron palm, and met Aunt Ying, so he was introduced to find the "Southern Emperor" who had become a monk.
But now the situation has completely changed, Huang Rong was not injured by Qiu Qianren, if he really met Qiu Qianren, the other party may not be his opponent.
And then there is this Aunt Ying, it seems that she lives in a place called "Black Dragon Pond", the question is that if she directly proposes to find "Black Dragon Pond", doesn't it seem too abrupt?
Most of the temples are in the suburbs, and today they ran three places, but there was no harvest, so the two of them did not plan to return to the city, thinking about rushing to the fourth temple before dark.
If you can't find anyone, you can spend the night and go straight to the last temple tomorrow.
As soon as the two of them turned their horses' heads, they saw a woman standing in the middle of the avenue, still a little away, and only saw the other party's gray hair, which should be a little older.
Guo Mo and Huang Rong didn't care, urging them to get off the horse, and wanted to bypass by.
"Stopβ"
The woman screamed suddenly, stretched out her right hand, and blocked her way.
"Phewβ"
The two grabbed the reins, and the horse stopped.
Guo Mo looked the person up and down, and when he got closer, he found that although the other party had gray hair and looked at his face, he was not too old, and it was estimated that he was less than forty?
Guo Mo must have never seen it before, so why did he stop himself like this?
The two jumped off their horses, approached them, and hugged their fists.
"Why is this guy on the other side blocking our way?"
Guo Mo didn't know what to call the person who came for a while, but he was a little interested in her purpose of blocking the road.
"I see you've been running for a day, who are you looking for?"
The woman didn't reply to Guo Mo's question, but asked back.
Guo Mo's heart moved, and it seemed that the whereabouts of the two of them had fallen into the eyes of someone with a heart.
To his surprise, the person who came was not a person from the "Fishing Wood Farming and Reading", in fact, he inquired in various temples with such fanfare, and he also deliberately wanted to "startle the snake".
Since he can't find the "Southern Emperor", under the bluff, maybe he can lure out the people around the "Southern Emperor"?
Looking at the person in front of him, this age and appearance, and appropriately appeared here, is she still a woman, could she be the one?
Guo Mo has a guess in his heart, and he is struggling to find a clue, if it is really the one, won't it be solved?
"Don't hide it from this senior, the two of us are indeed looking for someone, it seems that we can't find a way, we have been looking for a day, and we have no clue, I don't know what the seniors have to say?"
Since it is "begging for people", Guo Mo always has to look a little "begging".
"You're looking for four people who look like 'fishermen and ploughing', plus an old monk, right?"
Hearing the woman opposite say this, Guo Mo completely affirmed her identity, she was "Aunt Ying".
Her real name is Liu Ying, she is the concubine of Dali Kingdom, she has a beautiful complexion, and is nicknamed "God Operator".
once had an affair with the "old naughty boy" Zhou Botong and had a son.
Later, for the "Huashan Sword" competition for the ranking, the infant child was attacked by Qiu Qianren, who was "floating on the water with an iron palm", and was seriously injured.
In order to get the "Southern Emperor" to come to the rescue, so that the "Southern Emperor" will be consumed and the "Southern Emperor" will be treated with "one yang finger", and it will not be able to recover within five years, and it will naturally lose the qualification of "Huashan on the Sword".
When Aunt Ying held the seriously injured child and knelt down in front of "Nandi", "Nandi" did not come to the rescue.
First, "Nandi" really attaches great importance to the opportunity of "Huashan on the sword", and more importantly, no matter how magnanimous "Nandi" is, he always has a grudge against the child born to his concubine and other men.
Under such a delay, the infant in the swaddling clothes eventually died.
Because of this, Aunt Ying turned white overnight, and she couldn't find the murderer who attacked the child, so she poured all her hatred into the body of "Nandi".
And the child's biological father, the "old naughty boy" Zhou Botong, was later trapped on "Peach Blossom Island".
Aunt Ying wanted to save him wholeheartedly, but she was afraid of the martial arts of the "Eastern Evil", as well as the rumored Qimen formation of "Peach Blossom Island".
Therefore, over the years, Aunt Ying has lived in seclusion in the "Black Dragon Pond", studying the art of the Five Elements Qimen, and won the title of "God Operator", and is also trying every way to make herself stronger.
Yesterday, at the inn in Taoyuan County, I overheard Huang Rong say that there was a "snake gall" that could increase internal strength, how could she not have desires?
This is why Aunt Ying followed Guo Mo and the others all day, and also witnessed the process of the two inquiring about various monasteries.
only to know that the person these two were looking for turned out to be the person they hated the most.
So, I had a plan and planned to kill two birds with one stone, so I showed up and stopped the two.
When Huang Rong saw the person in front of her, she seemed to know where the person she was looking for was, and she also stepped forward and saluted.
"Does the seniors know where these people are? If you know and hope to tell one or two, we should be grateful. β
The woman didn't reply immediately, glanced at Guo Mo, and then looked at Huang Rong.
"Are you looking for these men, who know them and know where they are? But the old body wants to know, what are you doing with these people? β
Huang Rong was just about to speak, but Guo Mo hurriedly took the lead.
"Don't hide it from the seniors, someone in the younger generation's family was seriously injured, and after being pointed out, I knew that there was a master here who could save him, so he came to invite him."
Guo Mo was afraid that Huang Rong would say the word "Peach Blossom Island" and cause unnecessary trouble.
Actually, Aunt Ying is still a little suspicious, after all, those who can know the level of "Southern Emperor" will not be ordinary characters.
But she had long been blinded by hatred, so she didn't delve into it.
"The two of you have some knowledge, the old monk you are looking for was originally the lord of Dali, and after becoming a monk, his legal name was 'Yi Deng', and his skills in 'Yi Yang Finger' are unparalleled in the world."
"As long as the person is not dead, ask him to rescue him, and he will be able to succeed immediately. But why should I help you? β
Is this about conditions?
"I don't know, how can the seniors tell the truth?"
Guo Mo heard that the other party would ask so obviously, and he really couldn't adapt for a while.
"I heard that you have a 'snake gall' that can increase your strength? If you are willing to cut love, the old body will tell you how to find 'a lamp'. β
Guo Mo was stunned when he heard this, it turned out that this person was also in that inn last night, and he didn't notice it.
"Haha, the seniors' abacus is very good, we do have 'snake gall', but it is also useful, and we can't cede it."
Of course Guo Mo couldn't agree to her rude request, without her guidance, he just wanted to find more time, he didn't believe that he couldn't find these people on the boundary of Taoyuan County?
"Since the seniors are unwilling to help, we are not reluctant, and we still thank the seniors for telling us, it turns out that after the 'Southern Emperor' became a monk, he is now the master of the 'One Lamp'."
The woman didn't expect the other party to refuse so simply, she didn't ask for "snake gall", and accidentally told the old monk the information.
Annoyed and angry for a while, I wanted to do it, and suddenly remembered that when I heard their conversation last night, the little girls next to me were almost at the first-class level, so the young man in front of him was not even more of a master.
Years of forbearance have made the woman develop the habit of being cautious, and she will never act easily without being 100% sure.
To put it bluntly, she is afraid of death, she still has to keep this useful body, to avenge her children, and to go to "Peach Blossom Island" to rescue the "old naughty boy" Zhou Botong.
The woman calmed herself.
"Well, if the old body is in a good mood today, I'll tell you for free."
If she can't get the "snake gall", the woman doesn't want to stop there, she also thinks that if she can help the two of them, please use the "one light" to make a move, then within five years, the internal strength of the "one light" will be greatly damaged, and it is the time for her revenge.
loubiqu
So, he told Guo Mo in detail the location of "One Light" and the problems that may be encountered on the way.
He also took out a handkerchief from his bosom, and when he opened it, he found a painting on it.
The painting depicts a scale, on one side of which is a small bird, on the other side is a bloodied man, and in the back of the picture is a large bird.
"You take this painting with you, and if 'One Light' doesn't want to come to the rescue, you can give him this painting."
After saying that, he floated away.
"Brother Mo, how strange is this person, she speaks and does things inexplicably, I think she may be the rival of the 'Southern Emperor'."
Guo Mo was surprised by this little girl's amazing judgment, but it was inconvenient to find out, if there was a chance, she would eventually encounter it in the future.
"Rong'er, this is indeed a strange person, but as long as it can help us find the 'Southern Emperor', oh, now we should call the 'One Lamp' master, and other things don't need to be considered for the time being."
According to the woman, the retreat of the Master of the "One Lamp" turned out to be the opposite of the current location.
The two had no choice but to go back to the Taoyuan County Inn first and rest for one night.
Early the next morning, the two settled the house money, left Taoyuan County, and went to the southeast according to the woman's words.
It turned out that the hermitage of the master of "One Lamp" was not in the temple, but in the mountains.
Guo Mo clearly knew that in the original work, in order to see the "one light" side, he was embarrassed by the four people who "fishermen and woods".
The problem lies in two points, one is to report to find "Emperor Duan", not "One Lamp" master; The second is that Huang Rong was seriously injured at that time, and at first glance, he came to seek medical treatment, and of course the four disciples did not want the master to consume his internal strength.
The two rode their horses, and after walking for more than fifty miles, they encountered a big mountain in front of them.
Looking at the rugged area of the mountain road, it is impossible to ride a horse.
The two of them couldn't, so they tied their horses to the jungle at the foot of the mountain, carried their luggage, and hiked up the mountain.
After crossing the two hills, I heard the sound of water flowing in front of me, and the turbulence was urgent.
When I got closer, I realized that there was a waterfall here, which flowed down a steep cliff and splashed to the bottom of the valley.
And next to the waterfall, there is a big man in black, sitting and fishing.
"Poof-" Huang Rong smiled when she saw the appearance of this big man.
"Brother Mo, you see this person is so pretentious, in this deep mountain, he is actually fishing by the waterfall, this water is so turbulent, where does the fish come from."
"Haha, what Rong'er said is good, in my opinion, his fishing is fake, and it is true that he is in the way."
Seeing this person, Guo Mo immediately understood that this was the master of "One Light", the first of the four apprentices, called "Diancang Yuyin", who was originally the governor of the naval army of Dali State, and his power was incomparable.
Guo Mo stepped forward and said: "But 'Diancang Yuyin' is in front of him, and Guo Mo is polite." β
The big man saw the two of them from a distance, and he didn't want to recognize himself as soon as he came up.
"What are you, how did you know you, and why are you here?"
"Diancang Yuyin" can be seen at a glance, both of them are Jianghu people with martial arts, and they can't help but be wary, after all, they also have some thoughts about living in seclusion here, and no one has ever found here.
"The next two are from the 'Peach Blossom Island' in the East China Sea, and they went to Dali to ask to see Emperor Duan, and they don't want Emperor Duan to become a monk."
"I saw His Majesty in Dali in the palace, and I was instructed by His Majesty to find here, and I asked to see the master of 'One Lamp' for important things, and I hope that the Metropolitan Governor will give you one or two."
Guo Mo said this very cleverly, not only did not say that he came to seek medical treatment, but also pointed out that it was the guidance of the monarch of Dali, and said the law name of "one light", which confirmed the credibility of the matter.
When he heard this, he was really stunned, and he didn't know how to reply.
It stands to reason that it is time to refuse, but since the other party has come all the way from the "Peach Blossom Island" in the East China Sea, there must be something extraordinary, and he has seen his own monarch, and he can be recommended here, which shows that the matter is quite important.
Guo Mo saw his hesitation and continued.
"If the Metropolitan Governor can't be the master, you can discuss it with the other General Qiao, Chief Wu and Prime Minister Zhu Cheng, and then decide whether to notify the commander."
"If the master asks about it, you will say that it is related to the 'ancestors of the Duan family', please ask the master of 'One Lamp' to see it as soon as you see it, and wait here below, and most of the governors will ask for it."
Listening to Guo Mo's words, he understood his own side so clearly, and after repeated scrutiny, he didn't feel anything unusual.
"Wait a minute, you two, I'll go and tell the tutor."
Guo Mo and Huang Rong were not in a hurry, they just waited by the waterfall and ate some dry food by the way.
"Brother Mo, did you just call that person 'Grand Duke'?"
"Rong'er, after the master of 'One Lamp' became a monk, the governor of the navy army, the head of the Imperial Forest Army, a general and the prime minister who originally followed him also resigned from their official positions at the same time and went into hiding."
"The master of 'One Lamp' also officially accepted them as apprentices, and it was for the four children of 'Fisherman and Farming'."
About half an hour later, it seems that the residence of the master of "One Lamp" is not close to here.
"Diancang Yuyin" is back, and with him, there is also a scholar holding a "judge's pen", who is the most powerful "scholar" Zhu Ziliu among the four disciples of the "One Lamp" master.
Zhu Ziliu came to Guo Mo and the others, and first looked at the two.
When I saw Guo Mo and Huang Rong, they were both outstanding people, and Zhu Ziliu's vigilance was much less.
"In Xia Zhu Ziliu, ranked last under the family teacher, I don't know what to call the two?"
Guo Mo saw that Zhu Ziliu was polite and thoughtful, and he couldn't help but clasp his fists and salute.
"In Xia Guo Mo, this is Huang Rong, and she is also the daughter of the lord of 'Peach Blossom Island'."
At this time, it is necessary to report Huang Rong's identity.
Sure enough, Zhu Ziliu looked at Huang Rong twice when he heard this.
"The tutor heard that an old friend sent someone to come, and he was very happy, so please come with me."
"Fishing" and "Reading" led the way in front, followed by Guo Mo and Huang Rong.
A group of four people bypassed the waterfall and entered the depths of the mountain......
