The little maid opened the door, only to see Wang Yuanbao appear outside the door, he was full of smiles, "Brother Xian, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

Li Zhen hurriedly got up and saluted him, "Junior brother has seen Brother Wang. ”

Wang Qingyu was very unhappy, as soon as he invited Li Zhen to the carriage, his brother came, what did he mean, did he even interfere with his own friends?

Wang Yuanbao didn't seem to see the gloomy face of the little sister, he walked into the carriage with a smile and saluted Li Zhen, "Brother Xian, please take a seat!"

He sat down cross-legged with a big grin, and the little maid hurriedly poured him a cup of tea, Wang Yuanbao just got the news that Li Zhen was also in the team, and was invited to the carriage by his little sister, which made Wang Yuanbao angry and annoyed, the last time the little sister gave the shadow relic to Li Zhen without authorization, it had already made him angry, and this ghostly guy actually appeared again.

However, Wang Yuanbao's surface kung fu is extremely good, no matter how annoyed he is in his heart, he will never show it in front of Li Zhen, of course, his mind can't hide from Wang Qingyu, Wang Qingyu sat aside coldly, not saying a word.

Wang Yuanbao didn't look at the little sister either, and asked with a smile on his face, "What has Brother Xian been busy with lately?"

During this time, Wang Yuanbao was in Chang'an, he didn't know that Li Zhen entered the palace as a guard, and was favored by Wu Zetian and promoted to knighthood, Wang Yuanbao thought that he was making a living in Nanshi.

Li Zhen smiled and said: "It's just an idler, I occasionally help my eldest sister sell wine, but most of the time I spend my time wandering around and making friends, this time Sister Qiuniang asked me to help, and I came with him to protect a few pilgrims who went to Songshan, but I didn't expect it to be Brother Wang, what a coincidence." ”

"It's a coincidence! It seems that we are destined, ha!

Wang Yuanbao laughed dryly, but out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at his little sister, seeing that she actually picked up a book and looked at it with all her attention, he was secretly annoyed in his heart, isn't this obviously not giving himself face?

Li Zhen saw the mustard between their brothers and sisters, he also felt uncomfortable, and he didn't want to participate in the relationship between their brothers and sisters, so he got up and whispered to Wang and smiled: "Thank you Miss Wang for the tea, I still have to tidy up my things, and they will be out soon." ”

Wang Qingyu also got up and said apologetically: "Qingyu is not considerate of hospitality, and I can't entertain my son well, I'm sorry!"

Li Zhen smiled, nodded to Wang Yuanbao again, put on his leather boots, and jumped out of the car, as soon as he got off the car, he heard Wang Yuanbao's extremely dissatisfied voice from the carriage, "What do you mean by poor hospitality, little sister, are you saying that I shouldn't come?"

"Hmph, why are you here, you know it in your heart!" Wang Qingyu also seemed to be angry, and unceremoniously confronted his brother.

"You make it clear, I know what it means!"

"He's my friend, I invited him over for a cup of tea, what are you interfering with? And last time I was obviously in Luoyang, why did you sue him, I went back to Chang'an?"

After a while, I heard Wang Yuanbao say coldly: "You are too fond of him, what is your identity, what is his identity, I have already returned his favor, I will tell you clearly, I will never allow you to associate with him again!"

"You're rude!"

Hearing this, Li Zhen shook his head, quickly returned to the team, found his horse, and said apologetically to Zhao Qiuniang: "Sister Qiuniang, I may have to go to Songnan Temple first, and I won't go to Shaolin Temple for the time being." ”

Zhao Qiuniang asked strangely: "Didn't you say that you just happened to have official business when you went to Shaolin Temple, so you might as well go together, did something happen?"

"Nothing!"

Li Zhen thought of Wang Yuanbao's snobbery, and his heart was really uncomfortable, he didn't want to stay here for a moment, and said: "I'll go to Shaolin Temple after I come back, in addition, please ask Sister Qiu Niang to keep it secret for me for the time being, I mean being a guard in the palace." ”

Zhao Qiuniang seemed to understand a little, she nodded lightly, "I understand, you go!"

Li Zhen turned over and got on his horse, galloped along a small road to the west, stirred up the billowing yellow dust, and gradually moved away.

In front of the car window, Wang Qingyu silently watched Li Zhen ride away, and an indescribable loss surged in her heart

Wei Fangshi is actually a monk, visiting immortals and alchemy, and living in seclusion in Songshan for a long time, but since three years ago, he is no longer willing to be lonely, and with the help of Xue Huaiyi's power, he forcibly occupied the Songnan Taoist Temple in the southwest of Songshan as his lair.

Songnan Temple is about 50 miles away from Shaolin Temple, originally an obscure small Taoist temple, but since Wei Fangshi became the main temple, this Taoist temple began to become famous, more and more famous in Songshan, and rebuilt last year, covering an area of 1,000 acres, becoming one of the best avenue views in Songshan.

Half a year ago, Wei Fangshi was recommended by Xue Huaiyi to enter Beijing, and Songnanguan was renamed Songnangong by Wu Zetianxia, and his status was even greater.

Songnan Palace is located in a small basin, the Taoist Palace is built according to the mountain, stretches to the mountain layer upon layer, looks at it from afar, the eaves and arches look quite spectacular, especially the largest building in the palace: the Laojun Palace, it looks like a small palace.

With the strong rise of Songnan Palace, a small town also appeared in the basin, which was actually a street about a mile long.

On both sides of the street, there are dozens of liquor shops, inns, green houses, mansions, mule and horse shops, medicine shops, grocery stores, etc., and more than half of these shops are the property of Songnan Palace.

Pilgrims, seekers, scholars who traveled from all over the world, and wealthy people who sought soul pulling were everywhere, making the business of the shop very prosperous.

At noon the next day, Li Zhen rode to the town of Songnan, he took the wrong road, he could have arrived last night, was pointed in the wrong direction by a woodcutter, so that he made a detour at least more than 100 miles, he had no dry food in his horse bag, he was hungry, and when he entered the town, he went straight to a wine shop.

Li Zhen was welcomed into the lobby by the bartender and sat down, and immediately asked, "What ready-made food is there?"

"Back to the son, there is a lamb patty with shallots, which has just been made, delicious and delicious, and costs five cents a piece. ”

"First bring me three to fill my stomach, and then I can have a few special dishes at random, and warm a pot of wine!"

"Childe, wait a minute, I'll be here soon!"

The bartender walked quickly, and after a while, he brought three lamb and tender onion cakes, which were fragrant, and put a pot of wine on the table, and said with a smile: "Son, please use it first, the kitchen is cooking, and it will be here soon!"

Li Zhen ate the two cakes like a cloud, and only felt a little more comfortable in his stomach, he poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip of wine, and squinted at the other guests.

Although it was lunch time, there were not many guests in the hall, even he only had four tables of guests, one table was a few scholars, and the accent was not local, so he should have come to Luoyang to participate in the imperial examination and take time to come to Songshan to play.

The other table is a few fur merchants, with a few bundles of furs just collected from the mountains stacked at their feet, and the next table outside are five or six young Taoist priests, talking and laughing, loud and loud, ordering a table full of wine and food, it should be the Taoist priest of Songnanguan.

At that moment, the curtain of the door was lifted, and a beggar walked in with a limp, he looked very young, only about twenty years old, with a rather delicate eyebrow, and wore a shabby and dirty robe.

As soon as the young beggar walked into the shop, he saw the Taoist priest gathered to eat, his face changed, he turned around and left, but was grabbed by the neck by a Taoist priest, "Yo! Isn't this Han Gongzi? Why did you start asking for food?"

The Taoist priest pulled the young beggar to the ground with a hard tug, and several Taoist priests burst into laughter, while another Taoist priest stomped on the young beggar's face with a vicious smile on his face.

"You said you know the secret of my master's soul pulling technique, and spread it everywhere, how many people believe your words?

The young beggar was trampled on his face, and only after a while did he squeeze out a sentence, "Swaggering and deceiving, you can't die well!"

Several Taoist priests were furious, jumped up and punched and kicked the young beggar, and they attacked the beggar so viciously that the beggar screamed so badly that he fainted to death.

A few Taoist priests clapped their hands, scolded him viciously, and said to the shopkeeper of the wine shop on the side: "The wine and food are recorded in the account!" Several Taoist priests immediately walked away.

Li Zhen watched coldly from the sidelines, this kind of thing has long been commonplace for him, and he doesn't want to act righteously, besides, he has a heavy responsibility, so it is not appropriate to cause trouble.

Several Taoist priests walked away, and the shopkeeper took a bite of hatred, and he was also disgusted with these Taoist priests who ate white food, and he looked at the beggar lying on the ground moaning, frowned, and said to the bartender next to him: "Give him some leftovers and drive him out!"

The bartender took two pieces of bread left over from the Taoist priest's meal and stuffed it to him, "Get out of here! ”

The young beggar slowly got up and limped away with his cane, and the shop was quiet again.

At this time, the bartender brought Li Zhen's food, and Li Zhen asked with a smile: "A Taoist priest said just now that the beggar knows Wei Zhenren's secret, is it true?"

The bartender pouted and said disdainfully: "That beggar is talking nonsense, no one pays attention to him at all, if it is true, he would have been killed a long time ago, how can Wei Zhenren tolerate him, Gongzi said yes?"

"Look at him, he looks like a scholar, not a beggar!

"If Childe is interested, go and ask him! he lives in a ruined temple on the east side of the town."

"Wang Shun, what are you talking about?" the shopkeeper interrupted the bartender unhappily, and the bartender stuck out his tongue in fright, turned around and hurried away.

Li Zhen didn't ask any more, picked up a glass of wine, and looked thoughtful in his eyes

After lunch, Li Zhen led the horse slowly through the town, came to the west of the town, and saw at a glance the land temple that the bartender said, built on a low mountainside, had long been dilapidated, and half of it had collapsed.

He led his horse up the mountainside and entered the Land Temple, where the clay sculptures had long been shattered, the ground was full of mud, and there were only two hollows in the windows, and the ground was full of weeds.

At this time, Li Zhen heard that there seemed to be movement in the wing room next to him, so he walked over slowly, looked over, and saw the young beggar just now squatting in the corner, gobbling up dry cakes.

Li Zhen coughed lightly, and the young beggar trembled with fright, and slowly turned his head, "You." Who are you?"

Li Zhen gave him a meatloaf, "I'm passing by here and want to ask you a few words." ”

When the young beggar saw the meatloaf, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he pounced on it without hesitation, and stuffed the meatloaf into his mouth desperately.

Li Zhen waited until he finished eating the cake before he said coldly: "After eating my things, at least you should answer my questions!"

The young beggar burped and drank a few more sips of water, before he timidly asked, "What do you want to ask me?"

"I want to hear Wei Zhenren's secret, don't you just say it when you meet people, do you know his secret?"

"I don't know!"

The young beggar's face changed in fright, his body shrank desperately into the corner, and his eyes looked at Li Zhen in horror.

Li Zhen walked up to him, bent down and said: "You don't look like a natural beggar, you should be a scholar, it is estimated that I am the first person to ask you about Wei Zhenren's secrets, do you plan to be a beggar for the rest of your life, or be beaten to death by those Taoist priests like wild dogs?"

"Who are you?"

"You don't care who I am, but you don't have many opportunities, and it's up to you whether you can seize the opportunity or not. ”

The young beggar looked at Li Zhen blankly for a long time, and then he suddenly hugged Li Zhen's leg and cried loudly: "I am willing to sue you for anything, please help me!"
