Li Qiumian took them up the mountain, the mountain gate of the academy is very magnificent, but it has obviously experienced a lot of vicissitudes of time, and it is a little old.

On the top of the mountain, there is an open-air field of 100 steps square, paved with gray stone bricks, the texture of the stone bricks is a little rough, but the gaps are very tightly organized, and there has been no grass for so many years.

The eastern side of the site, near the cliff side, is guardrailed, and to the west is a large bamboo grove with several paths leading to the houses in the distance.

To the north is the main hall of the academy, and the weather is just right today, and the doors and windows are open.

Su Hanshan's eyes could directly pass through the entire main hall, and they could see the courtyard, school, and more houses behind the main hall.

Li Qiumian didn't take them to the main hall, but went directly to the west, through the bamboo forest, and among the many courtyards, to a courtyard with a faint smell of dried medicinal herbs.

"Yaowang Academy is a place where doctors and medical students from our academy often come, although it can't be considered too quiet, but at least it's not noisy, and the medicinal materials are complete, if the doorman is seriously injured and the distance is appropriate, he will come here to recuperate."

Li Qiumian said with a smile, "There are forty rooms behind this courtyard, and at least half of them are still vacant, Chaoyang is very familiar with this place, so he can let him find you a few temporary accommodations." ”

Uncle Zhang snorted and laughed: "I haven't seen any medicinal herbs, this time we are here for your family's collection of books, don't want to be perfunctory." ”

"Have you forgotten, in the Kuzhou Pavilion where we have a collection of books, there is no place where people can live, and the residence behind this Medicine King Courtyard, push open the back door, through the peach forest and apricot forest, less than fifty steps, is the Kuzhou Pavilion, which is the closest."

Li Qiumian shook his head and said, "Although when you were flipping through the books over there, you slept directly on the ground, but now that you are old and have injuries on your body, you still have to pay attention to maintenance." ”

Su Hanshan said: "Has the old man come to turn the book before?" ”

Uncle Zhang recalled: "I came, but at that time, his family was still in charge of his father, I only flipped through the books on the five floors above ground in the Kuzhou Pavilion, and hid it underground, the really most precious part, I couldn't go in." ”

"I've already said hello to the guards of the Bitter Boat Pavilion, now you can feel free to go in and look through it."

Li Qiumian's gaze moved to Su Hanshan, "Brother Su, you can also go." ”

Su Hanshan said: "Mountain Lord, at my age, you should call me by my name directly." ”

"Hey, I think that the younger the person who becomes famous, the more he likes others to give him a mature honorific title."

Li Qiumian thought thoughtfully, "Like when Chaoyang was fifteen years old, he didn't let me call him Xiaoyang, and when Situ first met, he was ten years younger than me, but he asked me to call him big brother." ”

Su Hanshan chuckled: "It's probably because I'm really mature, and I don't need the overly mature title in the mouth of the elders to prove it." ”

Situ Zhongxia turned a deaf ear to these words and was greeting the steward of the Medicine King Academy.

Li Chaoyang's face turned red, and he stopped talking and looked around.

Li Qiumian and Su Hanshan looked at each other and smiled, and after making this joke tacitly, the two seemed to know each other a lot.

This mountain owner of Fuyao Mountain has a peculiar temperament, and when he talks to Zhang Shuwei, he is like an elderly friend of the same age as Zhang Shuwei.

When he joked about Li Chaoyang, he looked like a brother who was only slightly older than Li Chaoyang.

Even for a person like Su Hanshan, whose body and soul age are not the same, when he gets along with him, he suddenly feels like he was gagging with his classmates in his previous life.

Li Qiumian talked and laughed, and took them to the residence behind the Yaowang Courtyard, there was actually a small stream running through the backyard, and the small trees and flowers by the stream diluted the smell of medicinal herbs in front, and the people who lived in the back could only smell the fragrance of water.

"I still have things to do, you can rest or flip through the books, or if you are hungry and want to eat, you can feel free, and we will meet again in the evening."

Li Qiumian said that he was going to leave.

Uncle Zhang said slightly: "Wait, you took a lot of trouble to find me, there must be something to ask me for, at least let me go down the pulse first, right?" ”

Li Qiumian just smiled and said, "Don't worry, you have worked hard all the way, and you have lost your spirit, so let's talk about it." ”

"Mountain Lord."

Su Hanshan suddenly said, "The main rudder of Fuyao Mountain is in the south of Lin'an City, the main hall of Kuanggutang is in the north of Lin'an City, and Lingyin Temple, Feilai Peak, etc., are all in the west of Lin'an. ”

"Originally, most of the many important roads in the west seemed to be entrenched by the gang forces attached to Kuanggutang, but now that they have been hit, people's hearts will inevitably be in a hurry, and Fuyao Mountain may be able to probe over there."

Su Hanshan's deterrence must have been effective enough recently, but if there are no follow-up measures for these gangs, I am afraid that they will eventually have a time to relapse into their old ways.

But long-term stability, and even changing the survival of those villagers, it is not something that Su Hanshan can do alone.

Along the way, all kinds of experiences involving Fuyao Mountain made Su Hanshan feel that he might be able to borrow strength from it.

Li Qiumian's eyes moved slightly: "In addition to your sharpness, you haven't forgotten to be steady...... I just need manpower and connections, and take this opportunity to arrange for people to do this. ”

As the two strongest gangs in the Southern Song Dynasty, even from the perspective of the interests of the gangs, they will never let go of this opportunity to seize a piece of territory that the other party is out of control.

But under Su Hanshan's encouraging words, the original intention was not only to let them occupy the territory, but also for the villagers on that territory.

Li Qiumian realized this and appreciated Su Hanshan even more.

There are only a few people who dare to fight for a little kindness, and even fewer can remember to deal with the aftermath after fighting and try to borrow strength.

Everyone said goodbye, and Li Qiumian left immediately.

When Li Chaoyang saw him leaving, he was a lot more lively again, and said, "What's the point of recuperation?" We who practice martial arts should recuperate from injuries, and more importantly, replenish energy, the best medicinal materials in the world are food, I will take you to eat a good meal first! ”

Situ Zhongxia didn't know where to touch a bottle of medicinal wine, and he was tasting it there, and immediately agreed when he heard the words: "The chef on the mountain can really play the dishes with flowers, and Lao Tzu also brought Bashu's good chili peppers over this time and asked them to make them." ”

Hey, did the Song Dynasty have chili peppers?

This thought flashed through Su Hanshan's mind, and then he laughed, how could he use the history of his previous life again, it was clear that there had been too many different developments.

Thinking about it this way, he has great expectations for the current level of food in this world.

Xueling County is in the north, and the food flavor is more like the northerners in the previous life, which is very different from the south.

Although Su Hanshan has adapted to the taste there, when he arrives in this place of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he can't help but think of the hometown flavor of his previous life.

"I disagree."

Su Hanshan stretched his long waist and said with a smile, "You are injured, I haven't slept for a few days, and I am fighting fiercely with people, it will definitely affect the sense of taste, let's eat those delicious foods in this state now, how can we taste the delicate taste." ”

"I think it's time for us to go to bed now, and then go eat when we're asleep!"

Uncle Zhang also bowed slightly, and said, "That's the truth." ”

Don't say it, I don't think it, when it comes to the topic of sleeping, Li Chaoyang himself feels sleepy.

The four of them looked at each other, and they didn't have to choose any special room, each of them found an empty room to go into, and fell asleep.

They fell into a quiet, sweet sleep, but many people in Fuyao Mountain and Kuanggu Hall couldn't be quiet at this time.

Especially Kuanggutang.

The main hall of Kuanggutang is like a huge mountain villa, in the eastern half of the villa alone, there are a total of more than 300 large houses and halls, in addition to the place where people live, there are study, storehouse, granary, pharmacy, quiet room, etc., everything.

In the western half, there are pigeon farms, stables, kennels, deer parks, ornamental gardens, rockeries, and artificially dug lakes and ponds.

There are a total of 1,000 people who are responsible for collecting and transporting all kinds of information and documents and sending orders here during the day, plus the servants who procure food, clean the villa, and the guards who patrol everywhere, there are more than 2,000 people.

Even at night, when the clerks went home to rest, and the servants slept, it seemed that only about 800 men were left to patrol and walk around, standing on top of the sentry tower for the night.

But in fact, there are also 240 people in charge of various organs in the underground secret passages, and they are on duty in three shifts at twelve o'clock, and they are never cut off.

After Zheng Dao withdrew from Situ Zhongxia at that time, he went to the main road on the west side of Feilai Peak, managed to gather his personal entourage, and checked the battlefields.

When he suppressed the surprise and anger in his heart and transported the bodies of the head of the Seven Sects and the three hall masters Liang Guying, the right judge, and others back to the main hall, it was already night.

Hundreds of torches carried by the gang illuminated the open space outside the most commonly used Crouching Tiger Hall as bright as day.

The light of the fire and the clothes of the people were blown by the night wind, and they swayed gently, and the shadows of the people were cast on the ground, and they shook slightly.

Only the old man standing outside the threshold of the Crouching Tiger Hall stood tall and different.

said that he was an old man, but in fact, except for two silver strands on his temples, his hair was as black as ink in the rest of the place, and he looked more resilient than a young man.

A broad and clean forehead, eyes like a lion tiger, a high nose, a deep philtrum, closed lips, a black beard, and a wide-sleeved robe that looks like Zen.

Every glance, everywhere, and every millimeter that others look at, they only feel that this person is more like a mighty and ancient sacred statue.

Therefore, the corners of his clothes and hair will not be shaken by the night wind, and even the shadow is extraordinarily deep and dark.

Zheng Dao, the lobby master of Kuanggu Hall, is like an old immortal on weekdays, and he is like Donkey Kong when he uses force, and his spirit is already the world's first-class Shen Xiong.

But when standing next to this person, even Zheng Dao seemed a little vain, weak, and lacking in foundation.

can have such a majestic bearing, and can unabashedly show such a bearing in the main hall of Kuanggu Hall, of course, only their main hall master, Zhao Lizong!

“…… I originally thought that Su Hanshan was able to break through to Feilai Peak because of other reinforcements, but after checking a few battlefields, I found that he really killed through the green and red and the shadow sword with the strength of a single person, and in the battle by the river, he destroyed the elite of the head of the seven factions of the Xiangfu and the third man. ”

Zheng Daozheng personally reported today's events, with his hands in his sleeves, looking at the corpse on the ground, neither bending down nor bowing his head, but his tone was very respectful, and it was also solemn about this matter.

"He shouldn't be in the realm of a grandmaster, he fought alone by the river with more than 200 people, and he was able to annihilate all of them, and at most he was only one step away from the grandmaster."

"What's even more troublesome is that he seems to be able to use the White Cloud Drunken Elixir in battle."

Zhao Lizong said softly: "Daoji Zen Master's Baiyun Drunken Elixir? ”

"Exactly, except for the grandmaster, no one dares to pack a ticket and say that he can bear it."

Zheng Dao continued, "But this medicine does not distinguish between the enemy and me, if it is used as a hidden weapon, you can't infuse internal force into the hidden weapon, the power is limited, and it is easy to deal with. ”

"Being able to use this elixir on the battlefield of facing more than 200 people alone, this person's martial arts definitely has a strength that is difficult to find in all martial arts schools in the world."

Zhao Lizong said: "Wouldn't it be Uncle Zhang who improved this elixir?" ”

"Probably not."

Zheng Dao said with eight points of certainty, "If Zhang Shuwei can use it himself, he will definitely attack when he faces me, but he didn't dare to do it." ”

Zhao Lizong let out a long sigh, and his expression gradually became sad.

"It is inevitable that the general will die before the battle, the crockpot will not be broken from the well, and it is common for people in the rivers and lakes to die in the rivers and lakes. If the third child died at the hands of those famous people in Fuyao Mountain, it would just add a few more blood feuds, but dying at the hands of an unexpected person would inevitably add a little more unexpected sadness. ”

He whispered softly as he walked slowly, past corpses and stopped beside the right judge.

"Over the years, in addition to the staff of Prime Minister Zuo Fan Zhong and Fuyao Mountain Li Qiumian, there is also a third faction of people in the government and the opposition, who have reported to the cold and dark netherworld many times, and even from the palace to the martial arts in various places, there seems to be their shadow."

"The right judge has been hiding by Leng Youming's side for many years, in order to find out the clues of that group of people, they worked hard and worked hard, and they lost their lives in this operation, which is an accident within an accident."

"During his lifetime, he barely enjoyed the slightest benefit of being a cadre of my Kuanggu Hall, and it seems that he can only repay his clansmen."

Zhao Lizong ordered, "Let him be buried in the same style as the third child with the specifications of our Kuanggu Hall Master." ”

"The corpse of the head of the seven factions will be left with us for the time being, and tomorrow we will ask the Prime Minister how to dispose of it, and then we will do it."

Everyone listened to the order and carried the corpses away one after another.

Zhao Lizong turned around and returned to the Crouching Tiger Hall, sat on the throne carved from the cold ice of the Extreme North, his eyebrows drooped slightly, and said, "Check the origin of this Su Han Mountain." ”

Zheng Dao had already followed, but did not reply.

He knew, it wasn't for him.

After a while, there was a slight sound of the secret door turning behind the hall, and a thin-eyed eagle-nosed Taoist wearing a purple jade lotus crown came out.

This person is the second hall master of the Kuanggu Hall, the head of the Purple Sea Dao.

There are at least one hundred and fifty talents under his command who have been carefully selected since childhood and cultivated by extremely cruel means of rewards and punishments, these people are not high in martial arts, and their skills in handling affairs are not strong, but their memory is extraordinarily outstanding.

Kuanggutang raised them, and they didn't need to do anything else, they just needed to remember the news collected by Kuanggutang, all parties and factions in the world, and each person was responsible for memorizing a part of it.

In this way, if the high-level officials of Kuanggu Hall wanted to rummage through any news, they didn't need to go to the vast number of classics to check it, they only needed to ask them.

"No answer."

Daoist Zihai personally came up to report, "Among all the information collected by Kuanggu Hall, I can't find any martial arts of any family or faction, which can be matched with all the corpse clues reported by the hall master. ”

"Song Kingdom, Jin Kingdom, Mongolia, Fusang, Annam, Siam, none of the information we have can be sure that it is the teacher of this Su Han Mountain."

Zhao Lizong had already predicted: "Then if you don't rely on those inherent intelligence, let you guess?" ”

Daoist Zihai has already thought about this: "According to my own opinion, it may be the successor of Lai Buyi." ”

Zheng Dao added: "Su Hanshan's ability to trap the members of the Phantom Sword and Shadow Sword in turn in the formation is enough to prove that he not only has high combat power, but also extremely high eyesight, and combined with his age, the Dragon Seeking Sword Sect is indeed the most likely. ”

The Dragon Seeking Sword Sect has been a young genius for generations, although they have been short-lived for generations, but they have one thing in common, that is, they can temper their eyes, their eyesight is extraordinary, and their brainpower is extraordinary.

Their ancestor Lai Buyi, is said to be miraculous, it is rumored that you can see the grave of a family, find the dragon point, transform the feng shui, bless the descendants, you can also see the number of the qi of a city, the budget is a hundred years or even hundreds of years later, the city with the strongest luck, choose a site for it in advance, and encourage the surrounding people to move here.

Even when Zhu Xi, the first master of Confucianism in the past hundred years, was alive, he respected Lai Buyi's feng shui.

Moreover, the descendants of the Dragon Seeking Sword School will create new moves in martial arts every generation, and the style of swordsmanship is almost completely different from that of the previous generation.

As for Su Hanshan's lack of use of swords, but only the use of knives, guns and fists, it seems that it can also be seen as another innovation of the Dragon Seeking Sword School.

Zhao Lizong said: "Okay, then when the news is delivered tomorrow, I will pass on your guess together." ”

Zheng Dao understood and responded.

When the emperor seized power, considering that Shi Miyuan had too many henchmen, in order not to cause too much turmoil, many compromises were made, so that between Shi Miyuan and the emperor, there has been no tearing of face.

And in recent years, the emperor himself has also fallen in love with talking about the Tao of Xuan, talking about Zen and preaching, gathering a group of monks and Taoists around him at every turn, and once wanted to build a temple of merit for his favorite concubine.

He is so obsessed with feng shui, prophecy, reincarnation, national fortune, and other statements that are difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

and Shi Mingyuan's style of seeking longevity is becoming more and more resonant.

Now that the Puji Divine Doctor and the Dragon Hunter have gathered in Fuyao Mountain, Shi Miyuan only needs to use a little means, and it is not difficult for the emperor to help in this matter.

When the time comes, if Kuanggutang wants to do it, it will be easier to find an opportunity.

"Whether he is a descendant of the Dragon Seeking Sword Sect or not, what he has done this time has completely declared his position."

Zhao Lizong said with a faint expression, "A mortal enemy who is not satisfied with the weak crown is already such a tricky one, given time, it will be the number one disaster, it is better to let him die as soon as possible!" ”

At this time, the secret door at the back of the hall was activated again, and a thin man came to the front of the hall, knelt down on one knee, and presented a secret letter.

Zhao Lizong took it with an unwavering expression, but he only glanced at it, and then he was moved.

Zheng Dao and Zihai Dao were shocked, and they both showed surprise.

They had not seen such a drastic change in Zhao Lizong's demeanor for at least ten years.

"Auditor."

Zheng Dao asked out loud, "What's wrong?" ”

"The news that just came out of the palace, the emperor has secretly decreed that Meng Zhao will be allowed to return to Lin'an, and it will be ......"

Zhao Lizong took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, "It is said that he secretly turned back from the border this time because he had to discuss a major matter with the emperor, and also because he was already seriously ill and his life was about to end!" ”

The Purple Sea Daoist lost his voice and shouted, "How is it possible? He was only forty-two years old! ”

If it was in the past, the world's fierce generals died in their forties, it is not a particularly rare thing, the battlefield is busy, and the dark injuries and diseases left behind are very easy to kill.

Some of the glorious generals in history did not even live to be thirty years old.

But Meng Zhaoxuan is recognized as the first master of today's countries, and in this era, he has gone the farthest on the road of rebirth.

Such a person, no matter what kind of enemy army he has faced in the past ten years, has never been defeated again, and he has not even been injured, what disease can infect him?

Even if he lives for another hundred years, no one will find it strange, how can it be that he is only in his early forties now, and his life will be exhausted?!

Zheng Dao just raised his hand, pressed his forehead, and muttered, "Actually, it's not impossible. ”

"Li Qiumian ......"

Zhao Lizong pinched the letter, raised his eyes and looked south, as if he had a premonition of the raging waves, "Aren't you going to cure your old lady, but you also don't want to cure yourself?" ”
