After Xu Zhi saw the group of officers and soldiers leaving, he sighed to Zhou Yuanzhi, He Mengjiao, and Imperial Doctor Xie: "I didn't expect that as soon as the Yellow King left, the officers and soldiers followed in with the back foot, and tonight Chang'an will be a bloody night!"

Zhou Yuanzhi said angrily: "My father is too immoral, for the sake of his personal safety, he withdrew from Chang'an without resistance, and even disregarded the life and death of thousands of people in the city!"

He Mengjiao saw Zhou Yuanzhi's face full of anger, and persuaded: "Sister Zhou, don't be angry, maybe King Huang has his own troubles?"

Imperial Doctor Xie smiled bitterly and said: "Princess, concubine, you are not often by the side of the Yellow King, Miss He is an outsider, the Yellow King in your eyes who is for the country and the people, and the violence and peace no longer exists!"

Xu Zhi saw that Imperial Doctor Xie's eyes were full of tears, and persuaded: "Uncle Xie, if you have any troubles, just tell us, Yuan Zhi and I are not outsiders, and Miss He is kind-hearted, and she will not be outsiders!"

Imperial Physician Xie sighed and said, "Xu Juma, you are too worried, the old man is a person who is about to enter the earth, what else can not be said? It's just a pity that the country that Huang Wang has worked so hard to build will soon be wiped out!"

Xu Zhi, Zhou Yuanzhi, and He Mengjiao did not speak, but quietly waited for Imperial Doctor Xie to speak.

Imperial Doctor Xie said: "The old man met King Huang in Caizhou, in order to save the people of Caizhou, he was besieged by tens of thousands of male soldiers in the imperial court, and shared weal and woe with the people in the city, perseverance, and sleepless for several days, before he repelled the siege of officers and soldiers, got Caizhou, the throat of the Central Plains, and won the support of the people of the world. Since the Yellow King got Chang'an, he began to be proud, he was held up to the sky by the ministers around him, he forgot the oath of the uprising, and began to regard himself as the Son of Heaven, there should be 108 dishes to eat, and 64 girls to listen to songs and dances lined up in 8 columns, every time they go to the court, they have to ring the bell in unison, and it is difficult for the people to see him!"

He Mengjiao heard this and sighed: "Uncle Xie, what is the difference between King Huang and Li Tang Tianzi now? The people of Chang'an will definitely not support him!"

Imperial Doctor Xie smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid that even a child can understand this simple truth that Miss He said, but King Huang can't understand it. The old man also took advantage of the opportunity to enter the palace to see his wife's illness many times, and made a statement to King Huang, hoping that King Huang would not listen to the bad ideas of Zhu Wen and others and snatch food from the people of Chang'an. But King Huang reprimanded the old man and said: You know what military affairs are in the mountains, you just need to cure your wife's illness, only the stability of the army can keep Chang'an, and it doesn't matter if those ordinary people die!"

Xu Zhi also shook his head and said, "I didn't expect that the temporary wealth would make the Yellow King fall so quickly!"

Imperial Doctor Xie sighed: "When the old man heard these words of King Huang, he was immediately disheartened, so he resigned from him as an imperial doctor and moved out of the palace. Huang Wang saw that the old man had already made up his mind, and he didn't keep the old man, but just said lightly: It seems that my Huang Wangfu can't accommodate you to thank the divine doctor, where you came from, go back. Lone is about to become the Son of Heaven, and he doesn't want to hear any unlucky words to King Lone. After the old man moved out of the palace, he relied on stalls in the Lanlingfang area to eat!"

Zhou Yuanzhi was puzzled and said: "Father is too similar, Uncle Xie, you have joined the rebel army since Caizhou, you and your father have been close friends for many years, how can your father be so ruthless?"

Imperial Doctor Xie continued to speak: "Princess Yuanzhi, you and Xu Juma are away all the year round, you may not know: since King Huang became emperor in Chang'an, he has gradually distanced himself from his wife, he claims that the status of the Son of Heaven is noble, and he should enjoy three wives, four concubines and seventy-two concubines, and now the Yeting Palace is full of girls snatched by generals from all over Guanzhong, and Madame has repeatedly persuaded King Huang to take care of his body, but he was ridiculed by King Huang as jealous, and Mrs. left Chang'an in a fit of anger and went to Baiyun Nunnery in Zhongnan Mountain to become a monk!"

He Mengjiao was surprised: "I have heard that King Huang has no children, but he is already dying, and he has married so many wives and concubines, does he still want to give birth to an heir?"

Xu Zhi listened and sighed: "The Yellow King prides himself on being the Yellow Dragon, and now he is the emperor, and he has broken off the father-daughter relationship with Yuan Zhi, maybe he still has the idea of having a son and passing on the descendants of Zuo!"

When Zhou Yuanzhi heard that her mother had left home, she said sadly and angrily: "My father is already in the age of sixtieth, and he is still so unreasonable, forcibly taking the people's daughters, the heavens are angry and the people are resentful;

Xu Zhi saw that Zhou Yuanzhi was angry and sad again, and he couldn't bear it, so he persuaded: "Yuan Zhi doesn't have to worry too much, maybe General Shang Rang, Steward Huang, and Sect Master Pang Xun under King Huang will also dissuade him, things are not as bad as you think!"

Doctor Xie didn't perceive Xu Zhi's intentions, and continued to shake his head and said: "Now the generals around Huang Wang are pretending to be confused, and no one dares to offend Huang Wang, just say that Shang Rang, originally he still dared to admonish directly, since he was assassinated in Shaanzhou, it was like a changed person, he didn't dare to speak straightforwardly, and when he encountered any important decision, he had to call himself sick, this time the officers and troops besieged Chang'an, and he was the first to flee back to Chang'an from the front line!"

Zhou Yuanzhi listened and sighed: "General Shang used to be very brave and straightforward, how did he become such a nest now?"

Doctor Xie smiled bitterly and said, "Princess, this old man doesn't dare to speculate!"

Xu Zhi analyzed: "Yuan Zhi, this is easy to understand, originally General Shang and Huang Wang were close and affectionate, of course, you can say anything, now the identity is different, Huang Wang Gui is the Son of Heaven, although General Shang is a captain, but after all, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, how can he directly offend Long Yan?

Zhou Yuanzhi listened to Xu Zhi's analysis and nodded, but still said unwillingly: "What about Uncle Huang He? He is the brother of his father, is he also greedy for enjoyment?"

Imperial Doctor Xie said: "That's not it, it's just that Steward Huang rarely participates in political affairs, he is only responsible for the internal affairs of the palace and the imperial city, since the Yellow King became emperor, he rarely lets Huang He serve by his side, so Steward Huang has this heart, and he has no chance to speak!"

He Mengjiao sighed: "Now there is no good minister around King Huang to help, and there is a lack of food and clothing in Chang'an City, and there are heavy soldiers of the official army all around, the future of this righteous army is worrying!"

Xu Zhi saw the sadness He Mengjiao said, afraid of causing Zhou Yuanzhi's pain, he saw that the night was dark, and persuaded: "Everyone should rest early, tomorrow morning we will go to Zhongnan Mountain to dig up rehmannia!", everyone listened, and then dispersed and went back to their respective rooms to rest.

At dawn the next day, Xu Zhi, Zhou Yuanzhi, and He Mengjiao said goodbye to Imperial Doctor Xie, and the three of them walked to the Qixia Gate in the south of the city, and took advantage of the confusion of the officers and soldiers defending the city, jumped on a section of the city wall that was about to collapse, put down the flying tiger grasp, and used the gecko sticking to the wall, and slowly went down the city tower and went out of Chang'an City.

Xu, Zhou, and He walked all the way south along the post road in the south of the city for a day's journey before arriving at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain. At this time, it was the end of February, and it was time for everything to recover, and the three of them admired the dark green pines and cypresses, goose-yellow willows, and pink peach blossoms in the mountains, while stepping on the newly unearthed tender grass and climbing up.

But said that Zhou Yuanzhi followed Xu Zhi all the way, very hard, everywhere she went was a bleak scene, she was rarely in the mood to appreciate the change of seasons, this time she followed Xu Zhi out of a messy Chang'an City, and finally saw the gorgeous scenery that had not been seen for a long time, and smiled excitedly: "This Zhongnan Mountain is really high, so beautiful, if you can live in seclusion here, it will be like a fairy in the sky!"

Xu Zhi saw Zhou Yuanzhi bend over and pick a small flower on the side of the road, and ran to the front excitedly, and said with concern: "Yuanzhi, this mountain is high and the road is slippery, be careful of falling!"

Zhou Yuanzhi turned around and smiled at Xu Zhi, and replied, "Brother Xu, it's okay." You and Sister He should also come up quickly, there is a large area of beautiful cherry blossoms on the top of the mountain!"

Xu Zhi saw that Zhou Yuanzhi was very playful, and secretly laughed to himself: "What a fun crazy girl!", he asked He Mengjiao beside him: "Miss He, how can we dig up rehmannia?"

He Mengjiao replied: "Just as Doctor Xie said, this rehmannia grows in the warm and humid Jiangnan and Lingnan regions. This Zhongnan Mountain is high and deep, and there will be slopes that are not directed to the sun, so we have to climb to the top of the mountain and go around to the south side of the mountain, maybe we can dig up medicinal herbs!"

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "I hope to dig up the rehmannia and save Cunxiao and Xue Aniu!"

He Mengjiao saw that Xu Zhi was trying her best to heal Li Cunxiao and them, and persuaded her: "Big brother don't have to worry, Ji people have their own natural appearance, think about their chivalrous deeds, God will bless them!"

Xu Zhi nodded at He Mengjiao and said, "Yes, I hope we can find the medicinal herbs smoothly!"

Besides, the three of them crossed the top of the mountain, and saw that there was a quiet valley on the south side of the mountain, planted with a few pine, bamboo and plum blossoms, and there was a Taoist temple hidden in the depths of the pine and bamboo.

Zhou and He listened and nodded yes. The three of them walked into the Taoist temple and saw the three big characters "Baiyun Nunnery" written on the plaque, and they were all shocked: Could it be that Mrs. Huang is a monk here?

Xu Zhi knocked lightly on the door, and a middle-aged nun walked out, folded her hands, asked Xu Zhi and the others for the reason, bowed down and replied: "This nunnery is originally a Taoist temple of the royal seal, and only women have always been allowed to enter, and no men in the world can enter, please forgive the donor!"

Zhou Yuanzhi saw that the nun was very modest, and prayed: "Please ask the female bodhisattva to be accommodating, we have been going all the way over the mountains and mountains, it is very hard, can you let Brother Xu also enter with us to rest for a while?"

The nun bowed down again and replied: "This benefactor really makes it difficult for the poor nuns, and it is the practice of our nuns not to let men in, not to mention that the Jingyi host of this nunnery is not in the nunnery, so the poor nuns dare not obey!"

Xu Zhi had no choice but to reply: "Yuan Zhi, Mengjiao, you first follow this female bodhisattva to rest, you don't have to worry about the eldest brother, the eldest brother is waiting for you to come out in a pine and bamboo forest outside this Baiyun Nunnery!"

Zhou Yuanzhi and He Mengjiao nodded at Xu Zhi, and followed the nun into Baiyun Nunnery.

Xu Zhi walked into a plum blossom forest near Baiyun Nunnery, ready to take a nap. Seeing a rare voice in the depths of the plum blossoms, Xu Zhi didn't dare to disturb the speaker, and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard a soft voice asking: "Master Jingyi, since the disciple Xiuyun entered the nunnery, he has also devoted himself to cultivation for a long time, I don't know when the master will shave the disciple's hair and officially accept the disciple as an apprentice?"

Mrs. Jingyi replied: "Xiuyun, you have only been in Baiyun Nunnery for a few months, and the poor nun sees that you are unsettled, and often sighs at the sky and weeps at the flowers.

Li Xiuyun pleaded: "Master, the disciple is not afraid of the difficulty of seeking the Tao, just to take refuge with one heart!"

Mrs. Jingyi persuaded again: "Xiuyun, you are in your youth, just like the plum blossoms blooming in this spring, you must not bury your most splendid time because of a momentary setback! Xiuyun, you must not learn from Lao Nun who is dead-hearted and cold-hearted, and has been accompanied by the ancient Buddha of the green lantern for a lifetime!"

Li Xiuyun couldn't help but burst into tears when she saw the desolation that Mrs. Jingyi said, and cried: "What can youth be as fragrant as peaches and plums? No one loves and pity, it is sad!"

Seeing that Li Xiuyun gradually opened her heart, Master Jingyi persuaded: "Xiuyun, you are such a dignified and beautiful girl, what troubles do you have to break off your relationship and escape into the empty door?"

Li Xiuyun could no longer suppress the pain in her heart, and told the story of herself and Xu Zhi to Master Jingyi. After hearing this, Mrs. Jingyi stretched out her hand and broke a plum blossom, handed it to Li Xiuyun's hand, and sighed: "Ruthless is the most emperor's family, Xiuyun, you are a daughter, but you can't grow old with your beloved." Lao Ni understands the pain in your heart, just like this plum blossom, when it is not released, it should be loved and pitied, instead of waiting for it to decay before being remembered and sighed!"

Li Xiuyun held the plum blossom in his hand, but his eyes looked into the distance blankly, and muttered: "Mrs. Shi, the most rare confidant in life, Xiuyun can meet Brother Xu, he is already content in this life, and there is nothing to regret!

Jing Yi sighed: "The most difficult catastrophe in this world is still a love word!"

Li Xiuyun asked, "Mrs. Shi, how can you get through the love of this life?"

Jing Yi shook her head and said: "Only those who are completely dead, after escaping into the empty door, can they not see or not!" Take Mrs. Huang who has just entered Baiyun Nunnery, she is the wife of Huang Chao, the husband and wife have been with each other for decades, I wanted to respect each other like guests, and grow old together, but I know that Huang Chao won Chang'an and was arrogant, thinking that Mrs. was old and decrepit, and could not have children, the couple turned against each other, and the wife was separated, Mrs. Huang was angry, she abandoned her wealth and fled into Zhongnan Mountain!"

Li Xiuyun listened to it and said in surprise: "It turns out that the lady who just entered the nunnery is the wife of Huang Chao, but it is a pity that she has been husband and child all her life, and she has no quarrel with the world, but in the end she is still mistaken by a love word in the world!"

Jing Yi saw that Li Xiuyun seemed to have an understanding, and persuaded again: "Xiuyun, everything in this world is blinded by your own eyes, so there will be so many grievances and hatreds!"

Li Xiuyun repeated Jingyi's words, and suddenly took out a painting from his arms. Xu Zhi saw that the painting was the picture of "Flying Flowers and the Moon" painted by Li Xiuyun in the Yeting Palace.

Li Xiuyun had tears in her eyes, and she reached out to tear up the painting. Xu Zhi couldn't bear it in his heart, and suddenly jumped out of the plum blossom bush, and stopped him in a loud voice: "Princess, don't!"

Li Xiuyun heard Xu Zhi's voice, suddenly in a dream, his heart rippled, he couldn't stand, Xu Zhi saw that Li Xiuyun was about to fall, he hugged her with his left hand, and took the scroll flying with the wind in his right hand.

Jing Yi saw a handsome young man descending from the sky, hugged Li Xiuyun, turned around, and sighed: "Xiuyun, since your brother Xu has never forgotten your old feelings, you should go down the mountain with him!"

Li Xiuyun listened to Jingyi's words, she was both shy and ashamed, but she felt weak lying in Xu Zhikuan's arms, and she couldn't stand up for a while.

At this time, Zhou Yuanzhi's eager shout came from afar: "Mother, I'm Zhi'er!

A middle-aged woman in Taoist clothes ran towards the plum blossom forest and replied: "Donor, the poor nun is not your mother, you have recognized the wrong person!"

Li Xiuyun saw Mrs. Huang, Zhou Yuanzhi, and He Mengjiao running towards this side, and quickly broke free from Xu Zhi's arms, retreated to Mrs. Jingyi's side, and said to Xu Zhi: "Brother Xu, Xiuyun called you like this for the last time, our fate is over, if you like the painting, I will give it to you, leave it as a souvenir!", and cried again after speaking.

Zhou Yuanzhi saw Li Xiuyun give the scroll in her hand to Xu Zhi from a distance, and she was also a little unhappy in her heart, but when she heard Li Xiuyun speak so resolutely, she knew that she was afraid that she would misunderstand, and she was also a little relieved in her heart.

Mrs. Huang saw Zhou Yuanzhi and He Mengjiao chasing after her, and hurriedly ran to Mrs. Jingyi's side. Xu Zhi saw that the middle-aged Taoist aunt was Mrs. Huang, so he quickly bowed down to greet him and shouted, "Mrs. Huang!

Mrs. Huang just smiled faintly when she saw Xu Zhi, Zhou Yuanzhi and others, and then shook her head and said, "Everyone, you have recognized the wrong person, the Mrs. Huang you know is dead, and there will be no more Mrs. Huang in this world!"
