Reaching to the Sky

Chapter 118: Clues are gradually emerging

Views:

After reading Zhu's comments on the blog, Nanfeng was stunned. What was written on it was exactly his situation, but he did not know the former headmaster of the Shangqing Sect.

Seeing Nanfeng raise his head, the middle-aged Taoist reached out for the Wenbo, "Did you remember anything?"

"Wait a minute, let me take another look." Nanfeng lowered his head again and looked at the words on the blog. These words were written with cinnabar. Except for Taoist priests who used talismans to draw rituals, normally neither Taoists nor scholars were allowed to write with cinnabar. Writing, but there are two exceptions, one is the emperor, and the other is the head of the three sects. They will write in cinnabar to issue imperial edicts or legal decrees. Since the written content is mostly instructions, it is named Zhupi.

The text on the cultural blog was written in cinnabar, indicating that it was indeed written by the master of the Shangqing Dynasty. The calligraphy was regular and round, but also powerful and clear. Judging from the handwriting, it must have been written by an old man.

In addition, these words are all written in continuous strokes, except for the word Taixuan at the end where there is a pause, and there are red dots of cinnabar dripping above the word "Tai", which shows that this person was deciding the grade of the urn to be awarded. There was some hesitation at that time.

After a moment, Nanfeng withdrew his gaze and returned Wenbo to the middle-aged Taoist, "May I ask, who is the former headmaster of your sect?"

The middle-aged Taoist took the document and turned around to put it away, "This is Master Jian Shuang."

Nanfeng frowned again. The middle-aged Taoist called Master Jian Shuang after his master, which meant that Master Jian Shuang was dead, or he might have attained enlightenment and ascended. In short, he was no longer there. Since this man was the middle-aged Taoist’s master, his age It must be very old, but he doesn't remember having any interactions with any old Taoist priest.

Seeing Nanfeng's expression, the middle-aged Taoist knew that he knew nothing about the matter, so he did not continue to ask, "Your origin has been known to others. It will be inconvenient to stay on the mountain. You can go down the mountain and go to the southwest." There is an abandoned vegetable garden five miles away with a broken house there. You go there and wait. After the burial, I will go find you with the seal and other things."

Because the change occurred so suddenly, Nanfeng couldn't regain his composure for a moment, and just responded vaguely when he heard the words.

"It's not convenient to have a long conversation at this time, so you can go." The middle-aged Taoist said again.

Nanfeng nodded again.

"By the way, my poor Taoist and layman's surname is Jiang, and his Taoist name is Cangxue." After the middle-aged Taoist said this, he raised his voice and said, "Come on, drive this nonsense-talking kid out."

The two people waiting outside heard the sound and came in. Cang Xuezi waved her hands at them, signaling them to drive Nan Feng away.

One person opened the door, and the other pushed Nanfeng out.

Kong Yiming didn't go far when he saw the two of them escorting Nanfeng away. He thought he was unlucky enough to fall into a well, so he followed him and said those mocking words.

Nanfeng was upset by what he said. He stopped and turned around, pointing at him, "Morality is the foundation of human beings. You have low moral character. Even if you practice for a hundred years, you will not be able to get rid of that meanness."

"Which one are you scolding?" Kong Yiming rushed over and wanted to hit him.

One of the two Taoists stopped Kong Yiming, and the other pushed Nanfeng forward, escorted him all the way, and drove him out.

After coming out of the passage, Nanfeng turned around and looked back, only to see the two Taoists talking to Taoist Zhike. Needless to say, they must be blaming Taoist Zhike for not being strict enough to let him sneak in.

Nanfeng went to the forest to change his clothes, hitched his horse, drove the cart, and walked southwest.

This mountain road has been abandoned for a long time, and carriages are not allowed to pass for a short distance. Nanfeng has no choice but to unload the horses again, leaving the carriage and leading the horses forward.

After walking four or five miles, there was indeed an abandoned vegetable field ahead. The vegetable field was covered with knee-high weeds. There were two dilapidated houses among the weeds. Because no one had repaired them, the roofs had collapsed, leaving only Several walls made of mixed stones.

After choosing a place with green grass and tying the horse, Nanfeng came to the broken house, cleared a place to stay, and sat down against the wall.

After going down the mountain, he has been guessing about the cause of this matter. This matter seems to have no clue, but it is not traceable. First of all, he can be sure that he does not know the real Jian Shuang. To say the least, even if he has met him before Master Jian Shuang, and had an intersection with the other party, and the intersection was not worthy of Master Jian Shuang's favor to him.

You must know that Taixuan is a first-grade Dalu, which has always been given only to the disciples. Such a great favor cannot be exchanged by chance. Even if he saved the life of Master Jian Shuang, he could not get this level of Taixuan.

Excluding the possibility of previous interactions, there is only one other possibility left, and that is that Master Jian Shuang decided to grant him the Taixuan Talisman because he was entrusted by others.

Not only does this person have a major intersection with him, but he is also very close to Master Jian Shuang. No, just being good friends is not enough for Master Jian Shuang to make an exception. The relationship between this person and Master Jian Shuang should be extremely close, or this person With high authority, you can give orders to Master Jian Shuang.

There are not many people who have significant interactions with him. After thinking about it, there are only two people who have the ability to mediate. One is looking for the big-eyed Huang Qishan. Huang Qishan is the chief judge of Luo Feng's six days and one hundred divisions, ranking among the immortals. If he has a good relationship with Master Jian Shuang, he must be able to make an exception for Master Jian Shuang to relinquish power.

However, this possibility is not high, because he does not have a deep friendship with Huang Qishan. The other party has the ability to do so, but has no reason to do so. To put it bluntly, the friendship between the two is not enough for Huang Qishan to do this.

In addition to Huang Qishan, there was another person, his mistress, that is, the young woman wearing white uniforms with an unknown name.

After the master died, the master's wife loved Wujiwu and had been protecting him secretly. Before leaving, she showed up to say goodbye to him. At that time, he understood the misfortune of the master and comforted her tactfully. In addition, the master's wife also knew that he wanted to seek justice for the master. Since he has the desire to avenge his master, it is very likely that his wife will help him before leaving.

However, there are also doubts about this matter. Huang Qishan has the ability but no reason, while the master's wife has the reason but has no ability. The master's wife had been secretly protecting the master that day, and then hid in Taiqing to protect him secretly. When protecting the master, the master's wife did not dare to get too close, which resulted in the master being forced by Lin Zhendong to use his scattered skills to defeat the enemy. When protecting him, the master's wife can hide in Taiqing and remind him secretly when necessary.

It can be seen from this that the master's wife has a very high level of cultivation but has not yet reached the level of enlightenment.

Master Niang's cultivation is not enough to make an exception for Master Jian Shuang to obey the authority. Firstly, she cannot order Master Jian Shuang. Secondly, Master Jian Shuang can do what she can do, which is unlikely for Master Jian Shuang. I owe her a favor.

Thinking about it carefully, both Huang Qishan and Master Niang are possible, but the possibility is not very high. Apart from the two of them, there is another possibility, that is, the immortal from the upper world instructed Master Jian Shuang to give him the nun. However, the moment this idea emerged, He denied it for a simple reason. Not only could the immortals from the upper world find out his ancestral home, they could also find out his date of birth. If it was their instruction, there wouldn't be many "unknowns" in the blog.

When the immortals were eliminated, Huang Qishan was also eliminated. Huang Qishan was also an immortal. If he wanted to investigate, he could also know his origins.

In this case, only the master's wife is left with the possibility.

Master Jian Shuang is already very old. As the headmaster of Shangqing, this person must be very calm. If he had rejected the other party's request before, he would not have written at all. If you have promised the other person before and agreed to grant him Taixuan, it will be done in one fell swoop when writing. Since you have already promised the other person, you can't do it without writing, and there is nothing worth hesitating about.

But there is a drop of cinnabar at a key position in the text, which shows that Jian Shuang hesitated after picking up the pen. Why did he hesitate

The reason why the elderly are calm is because they look further ahead and think more than young people. Once the pros and cons are determined and a decision is made, they will not hesitate again. But Jian Shuang did hesitate when he wrote. It means that new variables appeared midway, so he needed to reconsider.

Master Jian Shuang hesitated during the writing process, which means that variables suddenly appeared during the writing process. If you think about it carefully, when Master Jian Shuang was writing, there was probably someone beside him, and they were very close to him. People are so close that there is no need to shy away from such important matters.

Master Jian Shuang should have agreed to this person's request to help him confer a casket before. After he picked up the pen, the man proposed to confer Taixuan for him, and the first-grade Taixuan was unusual, so Master Jianshuang hesitated, but after hesitating, he still Agree to the other party's request.

If the person interceding for him is really the master's wife, then the master's wife must be very close to Master Jian Shuang. Judging from the age of Master Jian Shuang, she is most likely to be a direct disciple of Master Jian Shuang.

However, there are many direct disciples of the headmaster, and ordinary direct disciples are not enough to make such a request to the master, because the conferment of Taixuan is of great importance and will have a great impact or even threaten the next headmaster of the sect.

In order for Master Jian Shuang to agree to teach Taixuan to an outsider, the master's wife must be more important in Master Jian Shuang's heart than her direct disciple, so that Master Jian Shuang would be able to agree to her request.

If this is the case, it is not difficult to guess the identity of Master Niang. She is the head disciple of Shangqing Sect.

At least it used to be…
