"Where is the fourth place?" The fat man came over to look at the map.
"Here." Nanfeng pointed at the map and showed it to the fat man, "It's northwest of here, more than a thousand miles away."
"What mountain?" Fatty asked.
"It was called Taiwu Mountain in ancient times, but I don't know what it is called now." Nanfeng said. The map was drawn in the Zhou Dynasty, more than 1,500 years ago, and many place names are no longer what they were called back then.
Zhuge Chanjuan also came over to look at the map. After reading it, she said, "This is located on the border of the Western Wei Dynasty. Further west is Tuhun."
Nanfeng nodded. At this time, in addition to the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains, there were also some small countries in the periphery. The Tuhun mentioned by Zhuge Chanjuan was one of them. The Murong clan of Xianbei was in power.
"To get here, you need to cross the Western Wei Dynasty." Zhuge Chanjuan said.
"This is the closest to here." Nanfeng said. He naturally knew the implication of Zhuge Chanjuan's words. The Western Wei Dynasty was Li Chaozong's sphere of influence. The three of them were currently located in the eastern border of the Western Wei Dynasty. If they wanted to go west, their whereabouts would be easily exposed along the way.
"Where is the sixth place?" the fat man asked.
"Here," Nanfeng pointed to the map again, "Taihe Mountain in the southwest is also within the territory of the Western Wei Dynasty. It is farther than going to Taiwu Mountain."
"Zhuge, where did you say you were going?" The fat man looked at Zhuge Chanjuan.
"Although Mount Taihe is also in the Western Wei Dynasty, across the river is the Liang Kingdom. I think it is safer to go there." Zhuge Chanjuan said.
"That's fine." Nanfeng traced the direction of the mountains on the map with his finger. The nine places where tortoise shells are stored are connected into a winding dragon shape. The three of them are currently in the middle of the dragon vein, which is also the easternmost location. In addition, The eight places are all in the southwest or northwest of here. Taihe Mountain is in the southwest and is relatively remote. You can avoid the bustling areas of the Western Wei Dynasty along the way there. If something unexpected happens, you can also go south to the Liang Kingdom. If everything goes well, you can go directly north from there. , going directly from the uninhabited mountains to Taiwu Mountain, it can hide its whereabouts to the maximum extent.
After deciding where to go, the three of them headed west out of the mountain. This time they did not return the same way, but turned slightly south. After leaving the mountain, they reached the main road. The three of them identified the specific location where they were currently. This place is located in the north of Gong County, far away from where they lived in seclusion. The cave is not far away.
The three of them went to the tip from the town, replenished their dry food, set off overnight, and continued to travel southwest. In the middle of the night, Nanfeng saw a familiar mountain peak. There was a river in front of the mountain and no trees on the mountainside. It was the place where he had hidden the gold. .
But at this time, the gold had been taken away by the two officers. Nanfeng stood on the top of the mountain, raised his hand and pointed south, "This is not far from Yu County, let's go back."
"Didn't you go back before? What are you going back for?" the fat man asked.
"I left in a hurry last time and didn't have time to go to Lin Yunguan. I don't know how Tianmu and Tianxun are doing now. I want to go back and have a look." Nanfeng said.
"Those two old men are both good. You should go back and have a look." The fat man agreed.
Zhuge Chanjuan didn't know the inside story and asked curiously. Nanfeng told her what happened before. When talking about Tianmu Tianxun, they would naturally talk about Taiqing Sect and Yuqing Sect. Tianmu Lao Dao went to Taiqing Sect to help He encountered danger while seeking information, and his life and death are still unknown. At the beginning of the year, Tianxun Lao Dao worked with him to explore the ruined temple where Han Xin's soul was sealed. After he forced himself into a coma, he also helped Fatty seal Han Xin's soul in the bronze cauldron he brought back into a jade biscuit. There were ten cauldrons, but Fatty only brought one back. As for whether the soul or spirit was sealed inside, only Tian Xunzi knew.
The place where the gold was hidden was more than a hundred miles away from Yu County. At dawn, the three of them came to Lin Yunguan, located in the south of Yu County.
When they were in charge of Yu County, they had given Lin Yunguan a lot of fields. At this time, these fields had been reclaimed by Lin Yunguan for cultivation. It was after autumn, the rice had been harvested, and only rice stubble was left in the fields.
The gate of the mountain was open, and a Taoist boy was cleaning the fallen leaves. Nanfeng had eaten in the Taoist temple before, and the Taoist boy recognized him. When he saw him coming, he greeted him cordially.
After returning the gift, Nanfeng asked about the old Taoist Tianmu. The little Taoist boy looked gloomy and said, "Master has been riding the crane at the beginning of the year."
Although he had already guessed that Taoist Tianmu had been killed, Nanfeng was still very sad after it was confirmed, "Taoist Tianmu has a strong body, how could he suddenly control a crane?"
The little Taoist boy shook his head, "I don't know, but Master seems to know that his time is coming, and he made all the arrangements for his death before leaving the crane. You haven't had breakfast yet, come on, we are cooking porridge, let's eat together."
Nanfeng waved his hand, "How is Taoist Master Tianxun?"
The little Taoist boy shook his head again, "No, my uncle is very ill."
Seeing the little Taoist boy shaking his head, Nanfeng thought that Tian Xunzi had also died of illness. He never thought that he was still alive, so he said eagerly, "Let's go, let's talk to him."
Lin Yunguan is a small Taoist temple with not many buildings. Tian Xunzi still lives in the original house. After knocking on the door, a weak reply came from inside.
Nan Feng pushed the door open and saw Tian Xunzi lying on the bed, with white hair all over his head and extremely thin. If his chest was not still heaving, he would have been considered dead.
He knew about Tian Xunzi's old age. It was the result of the method of transferring Han Xin's soul. Taoists have mastered the mysteries of heaven and earth and can do things that ordinary people cannot, but they have to bear the consequences of anything they do. The same is true for the method. Tian Xunzi only has holes. As for the divine cultivation, Han Xin was only taught the Divine Cave. Han Xin's soul was different from ordinary people and full of resentment. Transferring such a soul was a step beyond his level for him, so he lost his life and grew old.
What he never expected was that in less than a year, Tian Xunzi would lose weight to such an extent. When a person reaches his death limit, he must lose weight first. Tian Xunzi had obviously run out of fuel at this time. If he had come a few days later, he might have lost weight. I can't see him anymore.
Nanfeng walked to the bed and looked up at Xunzi to say hello.
Tian Xunzi opened his eyes to look at him, and slowly raised his hand to bow his head. Nanfeng hurriedly stopped him, "Taoist Master, I came back to see you."
Tian Xunzi was extremely weak, his breath was like a gossamer, and he made a thin voice from his throat, "Okay, okay."
He was in a coma when Fatty took him away from Yu County that day. Tian Xunzi said this because he was happy that he could wake up again.
"Taoist Priest, I brought the doctor here so that she can see you." Nanfeng turned to look at Zhuge Chanjuan.
Zhuge Chanjuan walked to the bedside, glanced at Tian Xunzi, and then said loudly, "Old Taoist Master, you are suffering from Qi deficiency and Yin deficiency, and you need to take medicine to treat it."
Tian Xunzi looked at Zhuge Chanjuan, smiled and shook his head. He also knew medical skills, how could he not know that Zhuge Chanjuan was comforting him.
Looking, smelling, asking, and cutting are the four diagnostic methods for doctors. Looking at the complexion is the first of the four diagnostic methods, followed by hearing and smelling, asking about feelings, and feeling the pulse is the last of the four diagnostic methods. Zhuge Chanjuan is a master of Qi and Huang, but she knew that Tian Xunzi was already terminally ill just by looking at him.
"I'm going to write a prescription," Zhuge Chanjuan said, her voice turning soft at this point, "let him leave after the New Year."
"Thank you." Nanfeng thanked him sincerely. He met many people after his debut, but not many were kind to him. Tian Xunzi was one of them.
Zhuge Chanjuan glanced at Nanfeng, turned around and went out.
"You two talk, I'll go out for a walk." The fat man also left.
Tian Xunzi was very ill and his breath was weak, so it was inconvenient to talk for a long time, so Nanfeng picked out important things to say to him.
When asked about the cause of Lao Dao Tianmu's death, Tian Xunzi just shook his head and did not answer.
Even if Tian Xunzi didn't tell him, Nanfeng could guess the truth of the matter. Old Taoist Tianmu was killed by Taiqing Sect. The reason why Tian Xunzi didn't tell him clearly was because he was worried that he would feel guilty about it. After all, Taoist Tianmu died trying to help him find out the information.
After asking about this, Nanfeng asked about Tian Xunzi's transfer of Han Xin's soul when he was unconscious that day. There were ten bronze tripods buried in the ruined temple guarded by the wolf demon, which sealed Han Xin's three souls and seven souls respectively. Because the bronze tripod It was too heavy, so the fat man only brought one back. The soul in this bronze tripod was transferred to the jade bi by Tian Xunzi. What he wanted to know was whether the soul or soul was sealed in the jade bi.
This time he finally knew that it was Shuang Ling, one of the three souls.
Humans have three souls and seven souls. Each of the three souls and seven souls has its own master. The so-called "each has its own master" means that each has its own duties and is in charge of a certain aspect of the human body. The three souls are Fei Guang, Shuang Ling, You Jing, and Shuang Ling Zhu. If there is a lack of wisdom and spiritual awareness, people will become fools.
Tian Xunzi was too weak and exhausted after saying these few words. Nanfeng wanted to leave, but was left behind by Tian Xunzi. He forced himself to hold on and told him something else.
That day, Tian Xunzi transferred the soul from the county government. Just as he was about to complete the job, Shuang Ling suddenly showed signs of losing control and walking away. Tian Xunzi noticed something was wrong, bit his tongue and vomited blood, and with powerful magic, he rushed to kill Shuang Ling before he left. The jade was sealed.
Although it was only a very short hand-to-hand encounter, Tian Xunzi still found out through Han Xin Shuangling's strange movements that someone was practicing soul-calling, and the spells used to call souls came from the Taiqing Sect.
Nanfeng was not surprised by Tian Xunzi's words. The wolf demon taught him the Talisman of the Taiqing Sect, and the reason why Li Chaozong was promoted to Taixuan was because he received the Taixuan Scripture from the Taiqing Sect. Not long ago, Li Chaozong went to the Orc Valley to look for the Turtle Shell Book of Heaven, and he also invited Taoist Taiqing to help. Through these many clues, it is not difficult to find that Taiqing Sect, Li Chaozong, and the wolf demon belong to the same camp and are all bad guys.
The bad guys have surfaced, but as for the good guys, there is no news about Big Eyes in the past few years. We don’t know where she went, and we don’t know if Huang Qishan has found her.
The conversation with Tian Xunzi only lasted for half a stick of incense, and then Nanfeng left and came out. Tian Xunzi was willing to say goodbye, but he was too motivated to get out of bed.
Seeing Tian Xunzi like this, Nanfeng felt very uncomfortable. To be fair, although Tianmu and Tianxun were kind to him, they also had selfish motives. Their selfish motives were to please him and get more fields for farming.
But even if the two people's motives are not pure and they have desires for what they do, at least they know how to exchange and do something for others in exchange for something in return. Nowadays, foreigners are ruling the dynasty, and without the enlightenment of the Han people, the world is declining, and there are many people who repay kindness with hatred. Yes, there are many ungrateful people. At this time, if you don't take things for nothing, you can already be considered a good person.
Nanfeng was an acquaintance of Lin Yunguan. The Taoists all recognized him and thought of him as a good son. They eagerly invited him to have a meal. The fat man also wanted to have a meal, but Nanfeng did not agree. Guanli cooked many porridges. Yes, if the three of them stay to eat, they won't have anything to eat, so they'd better leave...
