Chris stabilized his mood, exhaled quietly, and shouted, "Immortal benefactor!"

Although when she just pushed the door out, the people in this room were already aware of it, but this sound still made them look at the owner of the voice at the same time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The old man stood in front of the incense case, and there was a person standing next to him, it was Zhang Ruoshui.

Xiong Daiying stood a little farther away.

The old man had just arranged the clothes for her, and he knew that she would not wear a mask. Even so, when the villain appeared in front of him, he still felt a little surprised, and squinted his eyes for a while, he didn't know if it was because of this dress, which made the villain look more beautiful and elegant.

Yuwen Zhishao looked at the person in front of him, and the surprise in his heart was even greater than that of the old man.

Because this is the first time he has seen her true face of Lushan. All he saw before was Lan Yuanxiao's "feminine" face, and when he saw him again, she was already wearing the mask given by the old man.

The smooth and fair little face, a pair of big black eyes, and pupils like smart glass jade beads, tactfully filled her with innocence. Her hair was simply tied up, and her long black hair hung down behind her, and the green silk was scattered. The eyebrows seem to be traced with a paintbrush, which matches the hairstyle very well, adding a bit of heroism to her, at first glance it looks like a young man wearing a green shirt and robe, but if you look closely, the young man's face is like a peach and plum, and his lips are like Dan, obviously a delicate and lovely, beautiful and refined woman.

This person stared at the person directly, Yuwen Zhishao thought secretly.

She stared at herself intently, as if she were looking at a landscape she had never seen before.

On her face, the most striking thing is the eyes. When he saw Lan Yuanxiao for the first time, he felt that it was very rude to be stared at like this, but today he was stared at by this pair of dark eyes, but his mood was a little different. Her eyes barely blinked, and one wondered if she was still breathing.

His gaze was unconsciously drawn to her deep gaze, like a huge whirlpool that made people sink deeper and deeper. There was something unfathomable in her gaze that she couldn't figure out what she was thinking. It was these deep eyes that gave Yuwen Zhishao a little more urge to understand her thoughts.

They just stood motionless, staring at each other, silent.

The old man cleared his throat, and Chris looked at him, and his gaze immediately moved to Zhang Ruoshui. Xindao: It turns out that Ruoshui is also there!

The most surprised among the few people was Zhang Ruoshui. For a moment, he seemed to see the queen mother who looked like a girl when he was a teenager. He rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was dazzled, and when he looked at it again, he still felt that overnight, the Queen Mother seemed to be much younger, with bright eyes and bright teeth, clear and moving, as if she was in the middle of two decades.

The Queen Mother looked at it in a blink of an eye, he wanted to say something, but he was stared at by her soft gaze, and the words that welled up in his heart for a while were swallowed back before he could say anything.

Chris beckoned to Xiong Daiying, who was standing in the corner of the room, and said, "Daiying, today is the day of my apprenticeship, why are you still standing behind you watching the ceremony?"

Xiong Daiying looked a little surprised, but he still took a few steps forward and stood a little further back next to Zhang Ruoshui. He thought about it for a long time and didn't know what to say, so he stiffly said, "Congratulations master!"

She pursed her lips tightly, but the corners of her mouth inadvertently raised slightly, and she had already told her master about the good mood at the moment: I want to worship "Mr. Zhizhi" as a teacher! She silently added "the first in the world" in front of the words "No. 1 in the world" to Mr. Zhizhi in her heart.

Turning around, she saw a portrait on the incense case, she couldn't help but take two steps forward, and saw clearly that the person in the painting was wearing a green silk Tang scarf, wearing a green sermon robe, a silk belt around the waist, and hemp shoes on his feet.

She thought to herself: This should be the ancestor - the Taoist of Tsing Yi.

After a while, the old man cleared his throat and said solemnly, "The auspicious time has come!"

Yuwen Zhishao took two steps and picked up three sticks of incense from the incense case.

Chris stood facing the incense case, and she noticed that there was a jade incense burner on the incense table in front of the painting. She thought to herself: It seems that the first step of this apprenticeship is to incense the master.

After receiving three sticks of incense from Yuwen Zhishao's hand, she bowed three times to the portrait of her ancestor in a regular manner, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner.

Is this second step to kowtow to the master for tea?

Chris thought about it, as if he had never knelt for his parents, his mother didn't like it, and his father didn't ask for it. The first time I bowed was when my father took her back to Taipei and asked her to kowtow to her elderly grandmother. I remember that after kowtowing, my grandmother also stuffed a big red envelope for herself, and when she saw the amount inside, her eyes widened, and she realized that "kowtowing" was such a thing to earn. In addition to her grandmother, she may have kowtowed to the statues in the temple. It was all when she was a child, and she couldn't remember clearly, whether it was a Bodhisattva or a Buddha.

Last time in the palace, she was a hundred or a thousand unwilling to kowtow to the emperor, but this time she was a sincere apprentice, and suddenly felt that kowtowing was not a big deal.

Thinking so, she was ready to do it, but as soon as her knees were bent, she felt a strong surge that lifted her up.

Yuwen Zhishao looked at her very seriously and said, "You and I are masters and apprentices, don't need such vulgar etiquette!"

"Fairy benefactor?" Chris didn't understand for a moment.

The old man smiled: "Still not changing your words?"

She was slightly stunned, but quickly opened her mouth and shouted, "Master!"

Yuwen Zhishao smiled at her and nodded.

When she came back to her senses, she asked in surprise, "Didn't you change your words after serving tea?"

The old man thought to himself: When the master said that he was willing to accept me as an apprentice, I didn't even think about it, and I kowtowed three times right away, and from then on, I was called a master and apprentice!

"Your master has been called, but it is not considered to be an apprentice!" he smiled and said to the villain, "Besides, when my master accepted me and my junior brother, he said that he would accept it, and there were no vulgar rites at all!

Chris said to himself: It's too easy!

Suddenly, this sentence woke her up, it was a new realm, like standing on the starting line of life again, or the feeling of being cut off from all kinds of troubles. Yes, since he doesn't mind if I'm a man or a woman, what my identity is. Why should I mind who I am?

The old man looked at her in a daze, so he asked teasingly: "Why do you think it's simple, then what kind of worship do you want?"

Suddenly, she raised her head high, her pursed lips finally opened, and she said firmly and clearly: "Master is above, and I will be worshiped by my disciple Lan Zhongqing!"

After that, she palmed each other with her fists and bowed slightly to Yuwen Zhishao.

Even though Chris didn't like the name, it came down to the name his father gave him. She always felt that it was better to use her real name if she was to worship the teacher, but saying the English name was so long, and she was afraid that they would laugh at herself, so she would report her Chinese name if she thought about it.

"Lan Zhongqing?" the old man muttered, he looked at the villain thoughtfully, and said in his heart: This name doesn't seem to be ordinary, at least she looked resolute when she said it, not like she was lying!

Zhang Ruoshui also felt very strange, and said in his heart: Although the identity of the master is special, the Xuanzhen sect is a hidden sect, and the disciples of the sect are all people from outside the world, and there is no need to worry about him leaking things out if he worships "Mr. Zhizhi". Why does the master still have a fake name to apprentice to the master? "Blue Love" ...... "Love"...... His eyes suddenly widened and he looked at the two people in front of him, one handsome and extraordinary, and the other was beautiful, Zhang Ruoshui couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: Could it be that the master was moved and fell in love with Mr. Zhizhi? He really didn't dare to continue thinking about it, shook his head, and hurriedly drove away this ridiculous idea.

After worshipping the teacher, seeing that Zhang Ruoshui obviously had something to say to him, the two returned to the bedroom.

What happened during this time, Zhang Ruoshui told Chris eloquently.

Chris sat at the table, his hands folded on the table, frowning and intent.

Zhang Ruoshui said: "Yuanyou has already returned to Beijing with me. Originally, I built the 'Divine Arm Bow' according to the drawings he left back then, but there were always some joints that I couldn't understand, but this time with his help, the problem was solved, and the sample could be made in a few days!"

"Divine Arm Bow!" Chris could guess if he thought about it, this so-called Divine Arm Bow would never be a simple bow, and then think about the wooden armor man and the little wooden bird, and the mechanism made by Dugu Lianghui and Mo Dai were all incredible things.

Zhang Ruoshui asked tentatively: "Master, he is clamoring to see that person every day!"

"That person!" Chris asked with a smile, "how is she?"

"That person's whereabouts are secretive and low-key, but as far as I know, the master's Five Buddha Orders have already reached the hands of the Fourteenth Master!"

Chris nodded, it seems that he can go to the other courtyard to see the little uncle, he naturally knows the whereabouts of Mo Dai. "Dugu Liangyi wants to see her, and she has to pass me. You can talk about it later, you just tell him. ”

Zhang Ruoshui pinched a sweat for Dugu Lianghui in his heart, Yuanyou, now I see that you have a bad future.

It's time to think about the rest of the story, Chris mused. The biggest gain of this trip to Salmon Island is that he received two organ masters, Dugu Liangyi and Mo Dai. In addition, the little uncle took the opportunity of fighting paintings to introduce himself to Hu Shuxiu, who understands mathematics and physics, Li Gonglin, who is good at painting, and others. There is also Shen Kuo, I heard that he knows many skilled craftsmen. Why don't I try to draw some drawings first, and ask Li Gonglin and them to help see if they can change them into drawings that craftsmen of this era can understand! Another thing is to find a place to house these people. The Gao family courtyard is good, but it is too small. In the future, I will be a painter and a craftsman, and I am afraid that I will have to settle the children of the Mo family, so that Mo Dai can help me build an institution with peace of mind! She is here...... Dugu Liangyi will also follow...... You can't afford not to build a bigger house!

She looked at Zhang Ruoshui silently. I thought: Ouyang Feng's identity was originally intended to hide from these people in the palace, it seems that there is no impermeable wall, I am afraid that they have secretly known for a long time, since the people around Gao Taotao are not easy to get rid of, so let's make good use of it.

Chris sorted out his thoughts, then looked directly into Zhang Ruoshui's eyes and said, "Ruoshui, there is something I want to tell you." For the time being, only you know, and the other people in the palace, don't tell them, understand?"

They, Chris of course refers to the other two of the "three loyal dogs" around Gao Taotao - Lan Yuanzhen and Zhang Maoze.

"Understood!" Zhang Ruoshui replied succinctly. But I wondered in my heart: I don't know what it is, I have to keep it so secret.

Chris straightened up, then raised his face, as if after careful consideration, and said, "My little uncle and I are planning a big thing! I want to wave my troops north and attack Liao!"

Listening to his own words, Zhang Ruoshui behaved very indifferently, as if he didn't hear what he said, let alone as excited as his little uncle.

With a puzzled look on his face, Chris asked, "Aren't you surprised?"

"The master has always had the intention of sending troops, so he ordered the Iron Buddha Hall to make the Divine Arm Bow, but ......" Zhang Ruoshui paused and asked, "The result of your many discussions with Lord Han is to attack Western Xia first, and then plan for a great cause." Why ......"

...... Why did he suddenly change to a war against Da Liao, although he didn't finish his words, but the meaning was already understood by Chris.

This made Chris slightly surprised, she thought: It seems that Gao Taotao has already had such a plan, but the target is Xixia. It's just that I don't go straight north, what are I going to do in the west?

She thought so in her heart, but of course she couldn't say that.

Gao Zunhui took himself to see the secret strongholds of the secret agents of various countries in the capital, and also talked about the affairs of the Western Xia Kingdom. She remembered that her little uncle said that the Western Xia loved to make trouble on the border, and if the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State went to war, the Western Xia would definitely take the opportunity to attack the Great Song Dynasty.

From this point of view, it is very unreasonable to suddenly attack the very powerful Liao State without clearing the troubles of Western Xia. If the person I talked to just now was Lan Yuanzhen, he would definitely feel that something was wrong, and maybe he would suspect my identity, but fortunately, Ruoshui is relatively slow, it seems that I will have to be more careful in the future.

She bit her lower lip, thought seriously for a moment, and said: "Yuan Zhen has already presented me the report of the Northwest Army, Qingjian City's seed has recruited the Hengshan Qiang people who were originally affiliated with Western Xia, and I think this is a golden opportunity to send a fine work to go deep into Western Xia, agitate the people, instigate rebellion against officials, let them fight among themselves, and divide and disintegrate Western Xia." Xue Xiangqian also told me for a while that the interior of Western Xia has never been monolithic, and there are deep grievances among members of the royal family, so this method of discord will definitely work wonders. ”

Zhang Ruoshui's eyes moved, and he sighed: "This method is feasible!"

At this time, Chris saw a surprised expression on his face, but she was not so enthusiastic about attacking Western Xia, she just moved out the countermeasures that the little uncle and herself had come up with, shrugged her shoulders and said: "So, naturally you can free up your hands to deal with Liao! Moreover, the other party is not easy to deal with, so you must plan as soon as possible, the situation changes are so subtle that it can be said that it affects the whole body." (To be continued.) )
