Chapter 10: Clues
"Later, your Taishi Gong went to the Western Regions alone to fight against the Hu people and was seriously injured. In order to save him, Ge Yuan refined three golden pills, and then, it was the Molu Rebellion. Seeing that Zhou Yi's thoughts were undecided, Tian Yong brought the topic back again.
"Well, the fourth uncle told me about Mo Luo, and the later Nine Dragons Jade Flute," as soon as the Nine Dragons Jade Flute was mentioned, Zhou Yi immediately remembered Cang Jia's letter to Yue Zhong, and the main thing in the letter was that there was the Nine Dragons Jade Flute, which was the bane, "By the way, Master Tai, what kind of treasure is the Nine Dragons Jade Flute? What is so good about it? I heard that even the emperor wants to take it into his pocket." ”
Hearing him ask like this, Tian Yong sighed, if it is the bane, Zhou Tian Yong has a deep understanding.
"Back then, Mo Yu swallowed Jin Dan privately, and Tu Jian and Yu Guangling fought hard for three days and three nights, but they couldn't hurt him at all. Later, I went to Wuxiang Mountain to help in the battle, and the three of us worked together to capture the demon and threw him into the furnace of Ge Yuan's alchemy, and the fire was calcined for forty-nine days before Mo Yu was burned to death, and the two golden pills in his body were also refined. Tu Jian said that the root of the rebellion lies in the greed of human nature, and the two golden pills are the bane that induces the ugliness of human nature, so he carved his ice jade sword into two jade flutes, and embedded the golden pill on the jade flute, trying to leave it in Wuxiang Mountain. Tian Yong said eloquently, but he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, "This is already inappropriate, but another method of slaughtering the sword is even more incomprehensible." The dragon is the respect of the ninety-five, nine is the meaning of the supremacy of pure yang, he carved nine green dragons on the jade flute, nine dragons at a glance, and the golden pill is above the dragon's eye. Although he left his last words, if someone tried to snatch the Nine Dragons Jade Flute and take it for himself, he could lead the world's soldiers to attack it, but he didn't expect that his move would attract a bigger enemy!"
"Is it the emperor?" Zhou Yi asked.
"That's right. Ancient emperors have never stopped thirsting for immortality, and this current emperor is no exception. ”
Zhou Yi looked at his master's face, and felt that he was still unfinished, "I'm afraid that it may not be all like this, if there are no nine green dragons around it, the emperor will not be so eager to get it, once the Nine Dragons Jade Flute is given the supreme image, it will be in line with the emperor's high imperial power, then in his eyes, who else can get the jade flute in the world!"
Tian Yong felt more and more that talking to the young man in front of him could no longer treat him as a child, "Since you can guess, then I will tell you the next thing as well." Yu Guangling swore to die after getting the holy decree, and the court saw that he was soft and hard, and there was no other way, when the new emperor ascended the throne not long ago, there were many places in the world that needed to be gracious, so he did not mean to take it by force. It wasn't until five years later that Qi Qi came back to the rivers and lakes, and when Yu Guangling led his disciples to Tongguan to eliminate the harm, Wu Ye, who stayed in Wuxiang Mountain, killed his senior brother Wu Guang with his own hands, took away a jade flute, and fled to Liuhang Peak to occupy the mountain as the king. ”
"That's also his own brother," Tian Yong said coldly, "At that time, Yu Guangling was angry and wanted to clear the Six Hanging Peaks, but your master Tai was worried that the matter would get out of control, so he advised Yu Guangling to suspend the use of force against Wu Ye, so as not to give the imperial court a reason to send a teacher." ”
"Well, as far as the current situation is concerned, Master Tai's approach is beneficial to the overall situation. ”
Tian Yong smiled and shook his head, "The paper can't contain the fire, since it has happened, this matter will still spread sooner or later." Fourteen years have passed in a blink of an eye, and just last month, your master and I received a secret message from the chief manager Qu Rong. The imperial court asked the two of us to use the power of the rivers and lakes to destroy the Six Hanging Peaks, for fear that Wu Ye would use the name of the Nine Dragons Jade Xiao to do disloyal things, you say, is this excuse too far-fetched. But after all, he is the Ninth Five-Year Emperor and has supreme imperial power, and we can't compete with it, so we can only make compromises......"
"So, you and Master Tai came to Wuxiang Mountain this time to settle this matter?"
Zhou Tianyong nodded, looking dazed.
Zhou Yi figured out the ins and outs, and he also had some calculations in his heart, his biggest doubt was still on Yu Guangling and his junior brother Cangjia, if he didn't ask why he came today, I am afraid it would be difficult to have such an opportunity in the future.
"Master Tai, you say, among these junior disciples of Yu Guangling, who disagrees with him the most?"
"Oh?" Tian Yong looked confused, "Why do you ask that?"
"After all, during the Molu Rebellion, he took the lead in letting everyone go down the mountain, and then he went back by himself, and when outsiders drove it, this was somewhat suspicious of selling his reputation. Besides, Cangjia later returned to Wuxiang Mountain, and it was because we didn't see Yu Guangling himself that we didn't know what the real purpose of his return was. ”
Zhou Yi looked at Tian Yong's demeanor as he spoke, "These words are all one-sided words you heard from Yu Guangling, whether they are true or not, it is difficult to say." ”
Tian Yong just listened, but did not answer.
Zhou Yi simply said the guess in his heart: "If Yu Guangling knew that Cangjia went back to ask the master to ask for the crime, he simply avoided it, and casually found an excuse to let people reply to Cangjia, saying that he was not in Wuxiang Mountain, and it was not impossible for him to do so." ”
"Yi'er, did you listen to someone say anything?" asked Tian Yong.
"As far as the matter is concerned, it has nothing to do with others. Zhou Yi replied categorically.
"That's good, you are not deeply involved in the world, and you are easy to be seduced by others. Yu Guangling and I were born and died, I know best what kind of person he is. ”
"But it is precisely because you and he were born and died that there is a place where you can't see but others can see......"
As soon as the words fell, Tian Yong's scrutinizing eyes glared at him fiercely, "Did Zhou Yue tell you something that shouldn't be said!"
Looking at his expression, Tian Yong was indeed angry, and Zhou Yi had never seen him do this to himself, so he lowered his head, "Master Tai, don't be angry, I just want to understand," he looked at Tian Yong again, and the words hidden in his lips might anger the old man, but when he thought of the sad scene of his mother when he left Baihe Mountain, he couldn't care about anything, "Master Tai, Yi'er wants to find out, thirteen years ago, who snatched my brother, I want to give my mother an explanation!"
Tian Yong froze, unable to speak for a long time, looking at Zhou Yi's innocent and unyielding eyes, his heart was shocked. He knows Zhou Yi's temperament, once this matter is buried in his heart, it will be difficult for him to let go, since the rivers and lakes will belong to the younger generations to write sooner or later, so why should he reluctantly avoid some sensitive things?
"Master Tai, don't blame the fourth uncle, I pestered him for a long time before he said it. Zhou Yi muttered.
"You still speak for him, do you think Master Tai is reluctant to reprimand you?"
Yi'er would think so, but she wouldn't be stupid enough to think that Master Tai would always tolerate Yi'er's rudeness. However, since she was a child, Master Tai has taught Yi'er what is right and wrong, and what is filial piety. If you obviously hear strange comments around you, and you still have to keep silent because you are afraid of a person's prestige, then there is no right and wrong, there is no principle; if you don't even ignore seeing your mother cry because of old things, then you can't talk about humility, benevolence and filial piety, and the generosity that Yi'er has shown in her life has also become a means to sell her reputation and reputation, which is not the original intention of Master Tai to educate Yi'er!"
Zhou Yi's words pierced his heart and made a loud sound, but Tian Yong couldn't catch it.
"Child, it seems that Master Tai really can't hide it from you anymore. ”
Zhou Yi's swarthy eyes flashed with a bright light.
"That incident thirteen years ago," Tian Yong looked back at Zhou Shiya not far behind him, and sighed briefly, "Your master and I have never forgotten it, and we have never stopped investigating, hijacking my most beloved apprentice under my nose, such a heartache, how can I endure it!" Tian Yong gritted his back molars and said viciously.
Zhou Yi also became excited, "Master Tai, what the hell is going on, have you found out what the results are?"
Tian Yong closed his eyes and shook his head slightly, "If you know who the enemy is, I will fight for this old life, and I will also avenge your brother!"
"Master, just tell me! I'm growing up, I can share your worries!" Zhou Yi couldn't wait to say.
"You only need to know one fact, the imperial court wanted to have infighting in the rivers and lakes, and he took the opportunity to collect the Nine Dragons Jade Flute, only this motive can last for more than ten years to make the entire rivers and lakes turbulent. In today's rivers and lakes, there are only White Crane Mountains that can be the enemy of Wuxiang Mountain, except for the Zoroastrianism in the Western Regions. As long as you see through this, any insidious rumors will be self-defeating. ”
"Then you mean that it was the people of the court who took my brother thirteen years ago?"
"I'm just guessing. The assassin panicked and fled all the way to the West Mountain, but the cliffs of the West Mountain were so desperate that he jumped with your brother in his arms. You know the danger of the West Mountain, and there is no chance of him surviving. Your father: They saw a pack of hungry wolves at the bottom of the cliff, and there were traces of a fight. Your father killed the wolves with his own hands, then cut open the wolf's belly, and found the peach talisman that your mother wore for your brother that day......" Speaking of this, Tian Yong's heart was like a knife, and the ancestors and grandchildren looked at each other with tears in their eyes, and never spoke again.
However, Zhou Yi understands that although Tian Yong thinks that the misfortune is causing the court, in his opinion, those who harbor evil intentions are still hidden in the rivers and lakes.
Not to mention whether the mysteries he asked Tian Yong today are related to the old case thirteen years ago, just talking about the Cangjia mentioned by Yun'er, what he did will inevitably make people suspicious. And Cangjia is Yu Guangling's junior brother, looking at the overall situation, if there are any grievances between them, it is entirely possible for Cangjia to use the power of Baihe Mountain to achieve his goals. If that's the case, the fact that the imperial court ostensibly snatched the Nine Dragons Jade Flute has become a shield for those hidden behind-the-scenes and ulterior conspiracy! Thinking of this, Zhou Yi's spine couldn't help but feel cold, thinking that no matter who this person who wanted to hide from the world and the sea, then he was the enemy of this Jianghu.
Judging from the people and things that Tian Yong talked about, although this Cangjia is in the dark, he is plotting to kill Baihe Mountain, whether this has anything to do with the accident in Baihe Mountain thirteen years ago is still inconclusive, if he wants to find out the truth about his brother's unjust death, he must start from Cangjia and investigate to the end!
