"Do you think I want to come back?" The third uncle sighed, "I'm just a temporary host, at best I'm a puppet, a target, a scapegoat......"

Zhao Chuan was stunned when he heard this.

"The juniors in the view call me stupid uncle in private, I have been wandering all year round for so many years, and I am also pretending to be crazy and stupid in the view, what is the picture? Chuan'er, do you understand why? ”

Zhao Chuan was dumbfounded.

Third Uncle Zhao Kai stood up and paced back and forth for a long time, and only after a long time did he say leisurely, "I am a chess piece hidden by the Zhao family, and I am also a chess piece hidden by Qingfeng Guan." ”

Zhao Chuan was a little surprised, and at the same time, he suddenly realized, no wonder......

Zhao Chuan didn't speak, he wanted to listen quietly to the third uncle's next speech.

The third uncle paced back and forth for a long time, and then sat down cross-legged again, and then slowly told Zhao Chuan.

More than 20 years ago, there was an incident in Qingfeng Temple, the host was assassinated on a stormy night, and then two secret books "Changchun True Scripture" and "Aiki Immortal Law" were lost, and the little Taoist boy who was waiting in the outer room fell unconscious......

These two cheats are the treasures of Qingfeng Guan, and they are the methods of practicing qi, and only the host is qualified to preserve and complete the practice, and the other Taoists in the view only practice part of the content, so all the Taoists of Qingfeng Guan, including the current recently deceased host, have been practicing slowly, and only five Taoists have barely risen to the level of purple qi cultivation over the years.

Zhao Chuan asked if the former host was not very good at cultivation, why was he easily assassinated?

The third uncle's expression was painful, and he sighed, it was very stormy that night, and the host drank a cup of tea brought by Xiao Daotong before going to bed, and then felt unwell, and Xiao Daotong served him to go back to the inner room to rest, at this time, a black-clothed masked man suddenly broke in, and the host was in a hurry to defend himself, but he shouted that the whole body was suddenly sealed, and then the black-clothed masked man beat the host to death with only one palm, and knocked out the little Daotong on the side, and then the two cheats of the inner room were lost.

Zhao Chuan said that there must be something wrong with that little Taoist boy, and it was he who drank poisonous tea for the host to seal his acupoints, so that the masked man had a chance. This boy must have been in league with the black-clothed masked man, otherwise why didn't the black-clothed masked man kill him but just stunned him?

"Even if it's not a gang, it's an internal response!" Zhao Chuan's analysis of Xiao Daotong is conclusive.

"Alas! If it's really a little Taoist boy who has a problem, things are much simpler! The third uncle sighed, his expression was even more painful, and there seemed to be an indescribable indescribable secret.

"What? Am I not right? Zhao Chuan asked.

The third uncle sat cross-legged on the ground, bowing his head and not speaking, as if immersed in the memories of the past.

After a pillar of incense, the third uncle raised his head, "The little Taoist boy who presided over the side back then was my ......"

Zhao Chuan was stunned.

The third uncle said that the cup of tea that the host drank was poured by himself, and he had drunk the same pot of water, and the Taoists in the hindsight had checked the teacup and teapot without any problems, and he didn't know why the black-clothed masked man just knocked him out.

Even so, the third uncle said that he has been blaming himself for so many years, first, he did not see the face of the black-clothed masked man clearly, and second, he did not protect the host, even if he issued a shouting warning in time, it is good, so that the Taoist people in the temple can find out the danger in time and come to the rescue, and they will not find out that the host is in distress until dawn the next day......

"Maybe it will be treated in time, and the host will still be alive." The third uncle let out another long sigh.

"Third uncle, don't blame yourself too much, all this was planned and arranged in advance." Zhao Chuan comforted, "It is estimated that the person knocked you unconscious, so that you can describe the scene at that time to the Guanli people later." But even if you can call the Taoist people in Guanli at that time, you can't save the host, and the people have already thought about everything. ”

The third uncle nodded yes, watching the host be killed with a palm, but he was unwilling to be killed by the host.

"The current host who just passed away due to the plague is my master Tiandezi, who brought me to our Zhao family's mansion back then." The third uncle said.

Zhao Chuan asked Tiandezi why he went to the Zhao family's mansion to take you away.

The third uncle said that it is a long story, thirty years ago, the old emperor who had been an official in the court and the old emperor who had been assisting the ancestors of the Zhao family suddenly died, and the cause of death could not be found, which was very strange. The newly enthroned little emperor does not use the old ministers. Seeing that the situation was not going well, the ancestor of the Zhao family ordered your grandfather to take your grandfather and second grandfather away from the capital to settle at the foot of Panlong Mountain.

And laid out three moves for your grandfather's life after that, one is to let your grandfather hide in the underground ancient well to practice martial arts in case it happens to the future, the second is to transfer you and the son of the previous sect of the Zhao family's mansion, and the third is to hand me over to Qingfeng Guan and take me away.

Ah, I see. Zhao Chuan finally understood everything before and after the Zhao family.

"This Taoist of Qingfeng Temple, what did it have to do with our Zhao family before, right? Otherwise, why was entrusted by the Zhao family to arrange you to be by the host's side? Zhao Chuan asked.

"Chuan'er is right." Third Uncle Zhao Kai nodded in approval, "The ancestors of the Zhao family have been officials in the court for several generations, and a long time ago, Qingfeng Temple was built on this Lingyin Mountain with the support of the ancestors of the Zhao family. ”

The third uncle Zhao Kai continued to tell, and let Zhao Chuan listen carefully:

"Although Qingfeng Guan belongs to the Quanzhen sect and practices the Neidan Gongfa, it is a single sect and is not subject to any Taoist control. Because of the relationship between the ancestors of the Zhao family in the DPRK and China, they can also get subsidies for money and goods from the official family every year. Therefore, the successive hosts have kept in mind the benefits of the Zhao family, when the Zhao family sent someone to the view, the whole view was naturally very welcome, although others did not know the relationship between me and the Zhao family, but the host and the four assistants in the view knew this secret. ”

"So when the old host was suddenly assassinated, I was in a coma at the scene, and the four assistants immediately eliminated everyone's suspicions. That's why I've been able to stay in Guanzhong in the future, and I've stayed here as this quasi-host until now. ”

"Actually, since the old host was suddenly assassinated, the two cheats "Changchun True Scripture" and "Aiki Immortal Law" were lost, and the host position has no content at all."

"Without the treasure of Zhenguan, coupled with the death of the old emperor, the ancestor of the Zhao family lost his momentum and could not take care of the allocation of money and goods to support, Qingfeng Guan slowly did not have many newcomers to enter the Tao, and Qingfeng Guan lost the glory of the past."

"Without the treasure of Zhenguan, the host is also as mediocre as other Taoists in the view."

"So the more I think about it, the more sad I become, I always feel that Qingfeng Guan is destroyed in my hands, so I have been traveling outside for so many years, just to inquire about the whereabouts of the secret book of Zhenguan."

Zhao Chuan saw that the third uncle had paused for a long time and had been silent, so he asked, "Then, what about the result?" After so many years, have you heard anything? ”

"It's useless to say all this insider, because the other party is deep-rooted, and it is extremely difficult to shake ......"

Seeing that the third uncle said something similar last time, Zhao Chuan said directly: "It means that the other party has a royal background, doesn't it?" ”

The third uncle was silent, just sighed, noncommittal.

Zhao Chuan asked, what now?

"These things should be considered in the long run, and the future will be long." The third uncle spoke earnestly.

Zhao Chuan said, then why did you think of being the host of this Qingfeng Temple?

"Because the two hosts did not die well, everyone said that it was the reason for the loss of the treasure of Zhenguan, so this host was hiding from no one. I thought about it anyway, everyone thought that everyone thought I was stupid, I pretended to be crazy and stupid for so many years, and I just wanted to explore whether there was an internal response in the view......"

Zhao Chuan suddenly thought that these few times he came, they were all introduced by Zhen Yuanzi enthusiastically, and when he came just now, he called him from afar, so he asked Zhen Yuanzi why he was so enthusiastic about himself.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the third uncle heard Zhen Yuanzi, he immediately said that although this person was enthusiastic, it was best to stay away from him, because he was a philistine and should not come to learn the Tao, but should learn to do business......

Zhao Chuan wanted to boast a few words of Zhen Yuanzi in front of the third uncle, but he didn't expect the third uncle to dislike him.

"Then when I came today, he saw me from afar and greeted me warmly, and he had to call me junior brother, what was going on?" Although he knew that the third uncle didn't like him, the doubts in his heart still made Zhao Chuan ask again.

The third uncle snorted and said that he wanted to learn kung fu from your master Xiaoyaozi, and it wasn't because Benguan lost the treasure of Zhenguan......

Zhao Chuan sighed, thinking of kung fu, his heart darkened.

Zhao Chuan said that my current martial arts cultivation has also been abolished, and I am mainly here to find you to find a way to restore my cultivation this time.

The third uncle frowned when he heard this, reached out and put his index finger, middle finger and ring finger on the three parts of Zhao Chuan's wrist of inch, guan, and ruler, and tried his inch, guan, and ulnar pulses respectively.

After a long time, the third uncle asked what was going on?

Zhao Chuan briefly talked about the last time he left here.

The third uncle thought about it after hearing this, and then said that in this way, you live in Qingfeng Temple first, and then think of a way when your master Xiaoyaozi comes in a few days.

Zhao Chuan said that I should go to the master by myself, I heard that he was treating Hou Ye and others in the Hou Ye's mansion.

The third uncle said that it is not too good to go to the Hou Ye's Mansion in person in your current situation, so you should wait here with me.

Zhao Chuan sighed and said that this Qingfeng View is not a non-Taoist who does not stay overnight?

The third uncle glanced at Zhao Chuan, smacked his mouth, and said that now I am the host, and the rules have changed.

Zhao Chuan sighed again and said that there was also a follower who came with me.

The third uncle said that it was okay and he could afford to eat.

Zhao Chuan said that this follower is not a person, does it have an impact on Taoism?

The third uncle was stunned, what do you mean? Even if it's a donkey, I can afford to eat.

Zhao Chuan had a black line on his face, and said Okay, but in his heart, he thought that the cultivation of this third uncle was not very good, and he couldn't even see an outlier. It can be seen that the loss of the Qingfeng Temple's Zhenguan secret books "Changchun True Scripture" and "Aiki Immortal Law" has too much impact on the Taoists of Quanguan......

The third uncle shouted loudly to the little Taoist boy outside the door, and the Taoist boy came in and led Zhao Chuan to arrange a room to rest.

Zhao Chuan walked out of the courtyard of the host, and he didn't see the seven girls when he watched left and right, so he shouted loudly, "Little Seven, Little Seven!" ”

shouted a lot but there was no response, and Xiao Daotong urged him to go with him to arrange a room, saying that he would go and live first, and he would have dinner later.

Xiao Daotong's tone of voice was a little eager, and there was a hint of pleading.

Zhao Chuan was urged by others, a little displeased, and looked him up and down, seeing that Xiao Daotong was a little nervous.

This little Taoist boy looks no more than ten years old, with a yellow face and thin muscles, I don't know if the clothes are too big, or if he is too thin, anyway, he looks thinner and thinner when he wears sea green on his body.

"Are you hungry?" Zhao Chuan asked suddenly for no reason.

The look in Dao Tong's eyes flashed for a moment, but it immediately darkened, and then shook his head.

"I'm not hungry, what are you anxious to eat?" Zhao Chuan said with a smile.

"I ...... I'm worried that you've come so far, that you're hungry. Xiao Daotong paused, but his stomach grunted at an inopportune time.

Zhao Chuan raised his head and saw that it was getting late, and a touch of afterglow of the sunset was about to disappear.
