There are not many diners here, and it is almost evening outside the window, and the slanting cold sun shines in.

Mei Changqing was very interested and said, "Listen to me." ”

The old Taoist priest pretended to pinch his fingers, groaned slightly, and said: "The old Taoist doesn't dare to judge good and bad things without permission, let alone teach people to do things indiscriminately." But from the old way, I'm afraid that you will have a big disaster, little brother. ”

Mei Changqing frowned and said, "Do you mean tonight's agreement? Is Chu Qiushui so powerful? When it comes to internal force cultivation, I am indeed not as good as his free spirit, but I am a hundred times more experienced than him. If I were to fight the enemy, I would not necessarily be defeated, let alone cause any great disaster. ”

The old Taoist priest shook his head and said, "Little brother, it's best to avoid it." Seeing Mei Changqing's disapproving look, he sighed and said, "That's it, that's all there is to say." According to the old way, it is the heart that is only afraid of killing the little brother. You've been wrong once, it's time to wake up. ”

Mei Changqing shook her head and said, "No." Luo Bing will never harm me. If I go to the appointment for him, and if I run away, won't he be laughed at?"

Suddenly, seeing the old Taoist priest's expression slightly strange, he couldn't help but say, "What's wrong?"

Lao Dao took another green vegetable, put it in his mouth, and said, "That's all I say." The old way is gone. He stood up.

Mei Changqing hurriedly said: "Senior, go slowly, I still have something to say, ......" but before he finished speaking, the old way actually walked out of the door and turned three times and two times and disappeared.

Mei Changqing was taken aback and hurriedly chased out of the restaurant. But in the vast number of pedestrians on the street, how could there be the shadow of half a Taoist priest? On the contrary, the guy in the restaurant saw that he had ordered a lot of wine and food first, and then summoned a fortune teller who pretended to be a ghost, and then rushed out of the restaurant, thinking that he was going to repay the debt, so he quickly found a few tall bartenders and surrounded Mei Changqing.

Mei Changqing knew that he couldn't catch up with the old Taoist, so he had to return to the restaurant, paid the silver, and asked the shopkeeper: "Have you seen the old Taoist priest who sat here with me just now?"

The shopkeeper saw that Mei Changqing was paying the money and was generous, so he immediately changed his face and said with a smile: "That old Taoist priest, at a glance, I know that he is a liar who runs around the rivers and lakes, I have seen a lot." ”

Mei Changqing frowned and said, "He's not a local, are you sure?"

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "I'm in the restaurant, what kind of guests haven't seen it? This kind of old Taoist priest, as soon as he looks at it, he knows that he is walking around." Besides, I grew up here, a local, how could I not know each other?"

Mei Changqing nodded, let him go to the side to get busy, and he sat down, picked up his wine glass, and thought carefully: "That old Taoist priest doesn't seem to know martial arts, but he left so quickly, and he is superb.

Seeing him dodge my grappling hand casually, it was smooth and natural, and it seemed that he was really just picking up vegetables.

Luo Bing has always been natural and gentle in his moves, but compared to this old Taoist, it is far behind. ”

Thinking of this, Mei Changqing's eyes suddenly flashed, and he muttered to himself: "Zhang's story, I have heard it, this is Luo Bing told me, and he also told me that Zhang's son, nicknamed Bao Ziyun, is now the old Taoist priest of Bao Ziyun, said that this story was told to him by his apprentice, so wouldn't he be ......?"

Mei Changqing stood up suddenly: "I have indeed seen this old Taoist priest, no wonder I said how to feel familiar, it turns out that we have already met in Shaolin, I must find the Taoist master back." Now that so many things have happened, the Heavenly Demons are full of tricks, and their martial arts are up and down, coming and going, if there is this old Taoist in charge, the fight against the Heavenly Demons will be nine times out of ten."

Thinking of this, Mei Changqing rushed out of the restaurant again.

He searched the town carefully, asked others, and chased all the way to the wilderness, but there was no trace of the Taoist.

He searched inch by inch in the mountains and forests until it was getting late, but he found nothing.

Mei Changqing knew that his martial arts attainments were not much different from this Taoist master, and if others avoided him, it would be impossible to catch up, so he could only sigh secretly, turn around, and go to Chu Qiushui's appointment.

This forest is very remote, and at dusk, it is late autumn, and it is already dark. Mei Changqing unknowingly, she got lost in the woods. He quickened his pace, but everywhere seemed to be exactly the same, and counting the distance, he was probably already running four or four miles, but he was still spinning in circles.

Dark clouds obscured the moon, and it seemed that heavy rain was coming.

Mei Changqing knew that she had missed the time, and she was anxious, and she walked faster and faster. At some point, he looked down and was shocked to see a line of footprints on the ground.

He bent down and took a closer look. The spacing between the front and back of these footprints is average, and it does not look like they were left by people who have achieved great effort. But if it weren't for the light skills, how could he have followed Mei Changqing for so long? Looking at the size of the footprints, the person who came should be taller and the footprints shallow, and that person should not be a fat man.

Mei Changqing pondered for a long time, thinking that Chu Qiushui would not follow her, so she asked, "Dao Chief?"

A clear voice sounded: "What, Mei Changqing wants to see the Dao Chief?"

Mei Changqing was startled, and shouted in a deep voice: "Heavenly Demon, is it you?"

At this time, a slender figure walked out of the woods, wearing a bronze mask, it was the Heavenly Demon.

The Heavenly Demon smiled sharply, "What, Mei Changqing, do you want to see the Dao Chief?"

Mei Changqing didn't know why the Heavenly Demon came here, but at this time, he was not Rong Ku, so he smiled and said, "I saw the Dao Leader at noon, but I didn't recognize it at that time. After chasing it out, but I found it now, and still found nothing. ”

The Heavenly Demon was surprised: "Dao Chief, is he here? Is it someone else in disguise?"

Mei Changqing shook her head and said, "Impossible." The story told by the Taoist chief was told to him by Luo Bing, and others couldn't learn it. That man must be the Taoist Master. ”

Heavenly Demon nodded, and suddenly laughed: "Mei Changqing, Mei Changqing, you are really not as good as one day at a time." Can a Taoist leader scare me away?"

Mei Changqing frowned and said, "I scared you, why did I scare you?"

The Heavenly Demon sneered: "Mei Changqing, I have repeatedly given you the opportunity to serve me. You help me and Luo Bing at the same time, it's nothing. But you shouldn't tell Luo Bing the news, I can't tolerate it. Mei Changqing and Chu Qiushui have already gone to Luoyang to find Luo Bing. I have come to you today to take your life. ”

As soon as Mei Changqing heard this, he knew that there would be a fierce battle, so he immediately took two steps back, drew his sword in his hand, and said coldly: "Kill me, Heavenly Demon, I know that your martial arts are very powerful, but can you exert your strength under the ancient tomb now? Even if you can, I can't defeat you, but if you want to leave, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay." ”

A hint of cunning flashed in the Heavenly Demon's eyes, and he smiled, "You can know if you try." Since you said that you have been looking for the Dao Master since noon, you must have consumed a lot of physical strength. I'll give you three tricks. ”

Mei Changqing laughed and said, "Let me make three moves, Heavenly Demon, don't be too crazy." In this world, the person who can make me make three moves may not have been born yet."

The Heavenly Demon spread out his palm and said lightly, "You'll know if you try it." ”

Mei Changqing saw that the Heavenly Demon had no fear, but she was a little worried: "The Heavenly Demon is not a reckless person, he is so big, is he really sure of victory?"

But after thinking about it, he said, "What are you afraid of?" The Heavenly Demon had only recently gotten out of his wheelchair, and no matter how great his ability was, it wouldn't be much bigger. I'll try three tricks, and if the situation is not right, I will leave immediately, so that there will be no danger. It would be great if we could take this opportunity to get rid of the Heavenly Demons. ”

He immediately nodded and said, "Okay." Three moves are three moves, life and death are all safe and destiny"

The Heavenly Demon sneered, "I know, you, like your father, Mei Lingzi, are a person who likes to gamble. I'll give you a chance, and you'll definitely give it a try. Okay, come on. ”

Mei Changqing was slightly worried when she saw that the Heavenly Demon was surprisingly calm, but she still raised her sword, and with a twist of the sword, she attacked the Heavenly Demon's chest.

Although the Heavenly Demon said to let him make three moves, no one knows whether he is trustworthy or not, Mei Changqing still does not dare to put aside all the guarding routines, this move is to defend the attack, if the Heavenly Demon counterattacks, he can easily resolve it.

The Heavenly Demon really took a step back and didn't fight back.

Mei Changqing's wrist flicked, using a sword as a knife, a single knife slashed out, the sword was tigery, the heavenly demon took a step back, he had fallen into a disadvantageous situation, this horizontal split, he was extremely difficult to dodge.

Seeing the danger, the Heavenly Demon moved slightly, bent his waist sideways, and gently patted his palm on the knife. This shot is extremely risky, and if you are not careful, it will be a broken palm.

Finally, the Heavenly Demon saw that the move was accurate and took it properly, Mei Changqing's knife momentum was blocked like this, and after a moment's delay, the Heavenly Demon took the opportunity to dodge. But he was shocked by Mei Changqing's internal force, and he also staggered back.

Mei Changqing saw that the Heavenly Demon did his best to barely survive these two moves, relying on his understanding of martial arts, not extraordinary internal strength. Shicai Heavenly Demon blocked the knife with his hand, although he escaped, but the strength of his palm was not comparable to the blade after all, and Shicai succeeded, which can be said to have quite a bit of luck.

If the demon's footsteps are unsteady today, not to mention that there is still one move according to the agreement, even if the heavenly demon is allowed to fight back, he is at the end of his rope, and there is absolutely no possibility of counterattacking.

Mei Changqing saw the situation, immediately took a breath, took two steps, exerted all his strength, raised the knife over his head, and slashed down violently.

This sword as a knife contains his whole body strength, the knife has not fallen, the leaves all over the ground have been blown up by the sword wind, and the long hair of the heavenly demon has also danced wildly. In this situation, even the Heavenly Demon in its heyday would be impossible to resist.

Mei Changqing is experienced, the first move is to attack and defend, steady and steady, the second move to block the way of the heavenly demon, forcing him to use his hands to take the move, this third move, is the real fatal killing move He came out in a row with three moves, calculated all the methods of defense of the heavenly demon, and finally gathered momentum to send out a shocking blow, it seems that the heavenly demon is certain to die.

The team that married the princess has finally returned to Beijing safely.

The old prime minister Yang Lin wrote down everything that happened in the Western Regions on the chapter, but Ouyang Qing's whereabouts became his biggest distress. It's just that I didn't expect to return to Luoyang, and the general of the marriage guard was already at the north gate of Luoyang.

After asking, Ouyang Qing was relieved that he couldn't wait for the people of Dali Temple, so he actually left first and returned to Luoyang.

Yang Lin was annoyed in his heart and wanted to ask sharply, but Ouyang Qing was a popular man in front of the emperor, but he was an old official who was out of luck, in case he offended others, I was afraid that he would not have a good life in the future, so he had to swallow his anger and say no more. Finally, Ouyang Qing returned safely, and the emperor didn't have to worry about explaining, and he didn't have to worry about it.

But the Heavenly Demon on Bao Ziyun's side was still nowhere to be found.

Yang Lin asked about Ouyang Qing, but Ouyang Qing told him that the Heavenly Demon went out to retreat and practice martial arts, so he didn't need to pay attention to it.

Everything is in plan. Yue's interception of the princess's convoy, Yang Lin, as the prime minister, obtained unfavorable information, almost led to the murder of the princess, was scolded by the emperor heavily, dismissed from the official position of prime minister, and went home to farm.

And Ouyang Qingyong saved the princess, worked hard, made great contributions, and was promoted to the deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army.

Bao Ziyun recommended meritorious service, rewarded 10,000 taels of silver, and was promoted to the chief eunuch inside and outside the palace, and internal and external affairs were also managed by Bao Ziyun.

Although Yang Lin is not a military merit party, he has a high prestige in the DPRK, and he is not on good terms with Bao Ziyun, and now that he has been expelled, Bao Ziyun has one less big opponent.

As for Ouyang Qing's position as the commander, it didn't originally exist, but it was only established after Bao Ziyun suggested it to the emperor. To put it bluntly, this commander was drawn from the original army under Guo Antong, 70,000 led by Ouyang Qing.

said that Luo Bing also returned to Luoyang at this time.

Now that Ouyang Qing is in Dali Temple, if he wants to find Chu Qiuyan's whereabouts, he naturally has to start from him. But Ouyang Qing's martial arts are very powerful, and there are many secret agents of Dali Temple there, if he rushes forward, I am afraid he will not be pleased. Lu Changfeng is in danger, extremely dangerous, but no one knows where Lu Changfeng is hiding, if you want to find him, you have to look for him. Only Xue Bing's matter can be done immediately.

Luo Bing thought a little and decided to go to Guo Ziyi's house to find out first.

It was not the first time Luo Bing had come to Guo Ziyi's house, but the mansions of high-ranking officials were always spacious and majestic, Luo Bing only vaguely remembered the location of the hall, and he didn't know anything about the rest of the rooms.

As for Guo Ziyi's distant cousin, Luo Bing only knew that she lived in the backyard of Guo's mansion, where the backyard was, and where she lived in the backyard, but she didn't know anything.

Recently, Guo Fu was worried about a sneak attack in Ouchi, and it was heavily guarded, and officers and soldiers patrolled many places. Although Luo Bing made a light effort, he didn't dare to be careless, climbed onto the top of a building, looked at the buildings, and thought to himself.

Although there are hundreds of officers and troops stationed in the Guo Mansion, there are no powerful people, and it is not difficult to assassinate Guo Ziyi.

It's just that Luo Bing is not sure whether Guo Ziyi's distant cousin is Xue Bing, if there is a misunderstanding, it will not be embarrassing.

Luo Bing tiptoed around Guo's mansion a few times, and carefully explored each room, but from Mrs. Guo's room, to Miss Guo's boudoir, to the stable, and firewood room, they all saw it, but they didn't know how to go to the backyard.

Luo Bing didn't know where to start, so he groaned slightly, and had a way.

Seeing that two more people were patrolling, Luo Bing hid behind the rockery, and when the two approached, he suddenly jumped out and quickly clicked on the acupoints of the two people.

The two of them didn't even snort before they fainted. Luo Bing carried the two people to the rockery, rescued one of them, and asked in a low voice, "How to go to the backyard?"

He put his finger on the man's Adam's apple, and with a little force, he could make him speechless, and he didn't worry about the man calling for help.

That officer and soldier had been dispatched, and he had no loyalty to Guo Ziyi, so he only cared about saving his life at the moment, how dare he hide it, so he pointed to the wall not far away and said: "Behind this wall is the backyard, where Lord Guo's cousin lives...... Uncle, spare your life."

Luo Bing closed the man's acupoint again, and hid the two of them in the cracks of the rockery, and it was expected that when the two of them were discovered, it would be the next day.

He knew the way to the backyard, and he didn't deliberately hide his traces, and his body was raised to the extreme, and in a blink of an eye, he swept over a dozen zhang distance, climbed over the wall, and arrived in the backyard.

There are a lot of flowers and plants in the backyard, but it's winter and there are no birds singing and flowers.

Luo Bingxin said: "I didn't expect this backyard to be outside the wall, it looks like it's outside Guo's house." ”

Following the path of flowers and plants, Luo Bing went all the way forward. There was no one patrolling and protecting here, but Luo Bing couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he looked at the flowers and plants in the garden, and he could only hide more cautiously. There was only one thought in his mind: "These flowers...... These flowers were my favorite when I saw Xue Bing with my master when I was a teenager."

Tiptoeing through a round door, I saw the lights in the distance, the fragrance was thick, it seemed to be a bedroom.

Luo Bing looked through the carved window and saw a boy listless, reciting Yuefu.

A shadow was taken next to him, and it seemed that the boy was accompanied by someone.

Although the person could not be seen, from the shadow, it should be a woman's figure.

Luo Bing wanted to go in and take a look, but he didn't dare to disturb and stood in the corner of the court.

The boy didn't seem to like to endorse much, muttered a few words, a passage, and memorized it scatteredly: "Wang ...... Smell it...... Hearing his words, hearing his words, hearing his words, ah, it has been miserable for a long time...... And it is ...... And it is ...... And it is ...... Ananda, the crown prince, is also...... Well...... This...... Mother, I don't want to carry it."

Luo Bing could hear it clearly, this voice must be the little boy he had met.

It seems that the other person in the house must be the boy's mother.

Luo Bing looked at the flowers and plants in the garden, and suddenly remembered the words of Tiemoller fifteen years ago: "Luo Bing, my son is about to be born, I discussed with Xue Bing, and I am going to give him a single name and a Bin character, and take the righteousness, civil and military ......."

The boy in the house was still coquettish and said: "Mother, I can't carry it, can you carry it to me......?"

Luo Bing saw the shadow and nodded, knowing that the woman was about to speak, she suddenly felt unspeakable fear in her heart, staggered back, and suddenly covered her ears with her hands, just shouting in her heart: "I don't listen, I don't listen."

But the soft chanting sound was like cold water, quietly drowning: "Okay, mother, come and carry it." Ananda, the crown prince, is also. The greedy king is also. Dispatch the world's poison to me, and I will help it...... When the king heard this, he was miserable and said: "The prince is very fond of the Buddha's way, and he nurtures the masses by supporting the poor and the poor." For the head of line...... Today's play is mud cows, mud horses, mud pigs, miscellaneous things, vertical and horizontal on the ground, and I feel crazy when I see my heart. Will devour tigers, wolves, ghosts, and thieves, and I will die...... I will die......"

Luo Bing was already bored in his heart, and when he heard the words, he trembled all over, and he couldn't even stand steadily.

He covered his ears and just shouted: "I don't listen, I don't listen, I don't listen", but when he heard the sentence "I will die", he was still secretly worried.

This is a sad story, and the intention is to influence the wicked.

When the woman read this, her voice was sad, Luo Bing listened blankly, her already chaotic mood fluctuated with that tone, and when she thought of the past, she was even more sad and inexplicable.

I don't know how long it took in a trance, and I suddenly heard the woman in the room sigh lowly, and whispered: "The warbler's beak pecks the flowers red, and the swallowtail is green wrinkled, pointing to the cold jade sheng, blowing through the spring ...... Xiaomei."

Luo Bing didn't think about it, and said casually: "Still, still, people and green poplars are both thin and ......"

With a "rattle", the carved window was immediately opened.

The woman looked at Luo Bing, obviously surprised, and said, "Is it you?"

A familiar voice, gentle and polite, courteous and thoughtful, where have I heard it.

Under the faint light of the candlelight, Luo Bing's mouth opened wide. He looked up at the Iron Lady in front of the window.

She has no fat powder on her face, but she has the fragrance of cinnamon, and she doesn't have to spend the full moon but she is already a young man.

She is not the most beautiful woman, but she must be the most attractive.

In the cold wind, she looked back slightly, her eyes flowed, not half coquettish, and she did not reject people.

She was always so calm, looking at Luo Bing standing stupidly outside the house, she just blinked and smiled.

It was really cold, and Luo Bing saw that warm mist slowly came out of his mouth. He looked at the pane of the boudoir and did not move for a long time.
