"What, why do you look so ugly?" The fat man plucked the braised noodles in the bowl.
"It's really a book from heaven." Nanfeng put down his chopsticks.
"Huh?" Fatty didn't know why.
"The words on the bronze bell in Yu County are part of the Heavenly Book." Nanfeng was filled with bitterness. That day, he suspected that the words on the bronze bell were related to the Tortoise Shell Heavenly Book. He also thought that it might be part of the Tortoise Shell Heavenly Book. If nothing unexpected happened, The bronze bell should have fallen into his hands. Unfortunately, something went wrong in his approach, and the bell ended up in Long Yunzi's hands.
"That guy got the advantage." The fat man was not without regrets, but it was just a regret. He only knew about the Turtle Shell Heavenly Book. Nanfeng did not tell him the details. He did not know how important the Turtle Shell Heavenly Book was.
After sighing, Nanfeng picked up his chopsticks and continued to eat the bowl of noodles in front of him. He had never had good luck and had encountered too many setbacks, so he was used to it.
"By the way, I thought of something." The fat man looked like he suddenly realized something.
Nanfeng looked up at him, and the fat man whispered, "The person who arrested us may not be the group named Li. It is probably the real protector of the country who is making such a big noise. He is afraid that you will know the calligraphy on the clock."
Nan Feng nodded. The fat man was just not smart, but not stupid. This inference was correct.
The fat man lowered his voice again, "Did you copy it down?"
Nanfeng shook his head. He fainted at that time. When he woke up, he was arrested by the county government. He wanted to bribe the police to go over and copy the text, but the imperial guards went there at the right time, just before he went to look at the bronze bell. .
"What a pity." The fat man put down his chopsticks and drank the soup from the bowl.
Nanfeng didn't have much appetite, so he pushed his bowl of noodles to the fat man. The fat man didn't mind it, picked up the chopsticks again, and swallowed.
While the fat man was eating, the warriors were still talking. The warriors had loud voices and did not shy away from anything. At first it was a conversation, but later it turned into a quarrel.
The content of the discussion was the nature of this Yuqing Dharma Assembly. Five years ago, Long Yunzi was defeated, his prestige was lost, and his face was disgraced. The purpose of holding the Dharma Assembly this time was naturally to challenge Li Chaozong and avenge his previous humiliation.
The reason why it turned into a quarrel was because these warriors had different opinions on whether Li Chaozong would accept the challenge. Some said that Li Chaozong would definitely accept the challenge because Li Chaozong had already been promoted to Taixuan and had swallowed the Phoenix Eye Heaven. Bees can give birth to wings, which are more powerful than five years ago. This time Long Yunzi made it clear that he wanted to challenge Li Chaozong, and Li Chaozong would accept the challenge both emotionally and rationally.
The other two people believed that Li Chaozong would not accept the challenge for two reasons. First, Long Yunzi was still a disciple of the Yuqing Sect five years ago, but now he is the Yuqing Sect's leader. Zeng also obtained the fragments of the Heavenly Book. He dared to challenge Li Chaozong this time because he had already understood and studied the spells of the fragments of the Heavenly Book. The second is that not long ago, Li Chaozong led his people to the Eastern Wei Dynasty to challenge the Shangqing Sect, but Yan Feixue led his people to chase him back to his hometown. Even the mountain gate was blocked by people who moved mountains. His vigor was lost and it was difficult to do anything anymore. .
Both sides insisted on their own opinions, and the quarrel was red-faced, and finally there were vague signs of starting a fight.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, the fat man hurriedly finished his noodles and urged Nanfeng to leave, but Nanfeng raised his hand to calm down and waited for one of them to say, "If Master Li shows up on the fifteenth day of next month to challenge, You call me grandpa three times." Then he stood up to pay, bowed his head and left.
After going out, the fat man muttered in a low voice, "There is no such thing as a good thing. Dog bites dog, and it's better to kill him."
Nanfeng tilted his head and glanced at the fat man. Although this guy was suspected of being the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva, he had no aura. If he didn't know what was going on, at a quick glance, he would be a fat, drunken monk.
"Don't be angry. Didn't you tell me that there were several copies of the book that day? He got one and there were many more." The fat man comforted.
"What's the use of being angry? I've been really useless these past few years." Nan Feng said with emotion.
"It sounds like you didn't live a useless life in the early years." The fat man said with a smile. After saying this, Nanfeng frowned and said hurriedly, "You don't live a useless life. At least we are still alive. What are we going to do now?"
"You can't stay in one place for too long, let's go." Nanfeng stepped towards the north. Constant movement is the best way to avoid pursuit. Even if someone recognizes him and runs to report to the government, when the government sends someone, He left too.
Although the matter was helpless, he was still brooding over his passing by the Heavenly Book. The words on the bronze bell were very similar to the words on the tortoise shell. He should have guessed that it might be part of the Heavenly Book, but it was too late to act. This was a mistake. A painful lesson, no matter what happens in the future, as long as you see it right, take action immediately and never delay.
In the evening, the two wandered around the Dali Temple. Nanfeng was worried about Lu Pingchuan's safety and wanted to go there to check. However, he was worried that there was an ambush there, so he hesitated for a long time and did not dare to go. He waited until dark and found a high tower. , looking at Lu Pingchuan's house from a distance, only to find that there was no light in Lu Pingchuan's house.
"Don't think blindly. Didn't eldest brother say that he is going to lead troops on an expedition, maybe to the military camp outside the city." The fat man comforted.
"I went to the military camp, my family should be there too." Nanfeng was worried.
"Maybe I'll take my wife with me." Fatty always thinks of the best in everything.
"My eldest brother and my eldest sister-in-law have a weak relationship, so it's impossible to bring her along. Besides, we can't bring our family members with us when we march and fight." Nanfeng shook his head.
"My sister-in-law's natal family is also in Chang'an. If my eldest brother is not here, she may have returned to her natal family," the fat man said.
Nanfeng nodded. Although he didn't think of the good in everything like Fatty, he also didn't think of the bad in everything. What he valued was what was reasonable. When her husband went off to war, the woman would usually go back to her parents' home to have someone to accompany her. , and secondly, it can also allow the mother's family to bear witness to her, so that her husband will not hear some gossip when he comes back from the war.
After the news that Long Yunzi was going to convene the Yuqing Dharma Conference, there were obviously a lot more warriors in Chang'an, and the court seemed to have relaxed its pursuit of the two. After all, killing people and silencing them was not a glorious thing.
After observing for a few days, they determined that the rumor had passed. They dared to stay in the hotel at night, but they only stayed for one night. They checked in at midnight and left at dawn.
When walking on the street, you will always hear some news. In front of the stall of the vegetable market, Nanfeng heard the conversation between the shop owner and the waiter, about what kind of food to deliver to Yang's house tomorrow morning. The shop owner told the waiter to deliver it on time. The waiter muttered that he didn't want to go, saying that the Yang family was domineering and stingy. The shopkeeper sighed and said, "Is there any way to make Master Yang the uncle of Li Sima?" '
The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. Lu Pingchuan's wife is Li Shangqin's wife and niece. She calls Li Shangqin his uncle, and his father is Li Shangqin's uncle or brother-in-law.
There was no other way to get the news about Lu Pingchuan, so the two of them stayed near the vegetable market that night. They got up early the next morning, went to the stall, and followed the food delivery boy to the Yang Mansion.
As the saying goes, one person can ascend to heaven after attaining enlightenment. Lu Pingchuan's father-in-law is also an official. He lives in a very luxurious house with a garden and embroidery building behind it. The two of them went around to the back of the house and climbed the wall to look inside. Because it was still early, the people in the embroidery building were not there yet. Didn't get up.
After waiting for a while, a maid came out of the embroidery building. Nanfeng recognized this maid as one of the two maids accompanying her sister-in-law. When she got married, the maid would also accompany her, and when she returned to her parents' home, the maid would follow her back.
Seeing the maid, Nan Feng felt a little relieved. Fatty guessed right, his sister-in-law had really returned to her parents' home.
Afterwards, the two of them wandered around the Yang Mansion for a while. When Chen Shi heard voices inside the wall, they climbed up the wall again to watch. They saw the sister-in-law and the maid feeding the birds in the garden, chatting and laughing, without any worries.
Seeing this situation, Nanfeng was really relieved that Lu Pingchuan should not be severely punished, otherwise the sister-in-law would not be so comfortable.
Chang'an City is so big that it takes several days to go around in a circle. While going around in circles, Nanfeng was not idle. He would watch from afar when he got near the city gate. In the past few days, the city gate guards did not conduct interrogations on people leaving the city. There are many warriors in the city, and there are also many new soldiers coming out of the city.
"You should be able to get out now. Should you go out as soon as possible, or stay here and watch the fun?" Nanfeng asked the fat man for his opinion.
"I don't care, I listen to you." The fat man said.
Nan Feng did not answer immediately, but quickly considered the pros and cons of staying or leaving in his mind.
After thinking about it, Nanfeng made a decision, "Let's go."
Nanfeng's decision surprised Fatty, "They will start fighting in about ten days. Don't you want to see what kind of magic skills that Long Yunzi has used?"
Nanfeng shook his head, "He is a dragon and a tiger, and I am a worm. Let's see what he does. Let's leave the city early and take the letter back to the mountain to practice Qi..."
