Seeing that Nanfeng agreed to visit, Hou Shulin was overjoyed. He packed up a bunch of tools and led the way.
On the way to Qingqing Academy, Hou Shulin didn't talk about anything else. He only talked about how quiet Wuqing Academy was, how few visitors there were on weekdays, and what kind of exquisite food the chefs at Wuqing Academy could cook.
Nan Feng just listened quietly and did not answer. There is no doubt that Hou Shulin is bragging, but Hou Shulin's bragging is not to show off, but to see that he needs to find a quiet and private place to place Tianqi Zi. Rather than bragging, Hou Shulin is self-recommended.
This city is called Qihu City, and Hou Shulin's Wuqing Academy is in the east of the city. The three of them walked for half a watch and arrived at Wuqing Academy before the second watch.
Qingqing Academy is just an arty name, but it is actually Hou Shulin's private garden. The four seasons in the south are not as obvious as those in the north, and the winter is not very cold. The plants are evergreen all year round, and there are conditions for building a garden.
The gate of the academy faces south, but Hou Shulin did not take the two of them through the gate. Instead, he opened the side door to the east and invited them in.
Hou Shulin didn't explain why he did this, and Nanfeng didn't say anything. Naturally, he did this to prevent the concierge at the main entrance from seeing him and Tianqizi.
Qingqing Academy is not very big, covering an area of just over 20 acres. There are many kinds of flowers and trees inside, and it is covered with green shade. It is divided into three courtyards, east, middle, and west. According to Hou Shulin, the middle area is the living area, and the west area is where the female family members live. place, and on the east side are his study and elegant houses. The so-called elegant houses are simply wooden houses and stone houses built next to the rockery under the shade of trees.
Hou Shulin took the two of them for a walk from the east courtyard, and then asked in a low voice, "Young hero, which elegant house do you like?"
Nanfeng did not answer immediately, but walked to a stone table under the shade of trees, first helped Tianqizi sit down, and then sat down on another stone pier.
Hou Shulin followed and bowed, waiting for Nanfeng to speak.
Nan Feng just sat there and never spoke.
Hou Shulin waited for a moment, but when Nan Feng didn't say anything, he took the initiative and said, "If young hero has any mission, Hou will keep his mouth shut and do his best."
Nanfeng glanced at Hou Shulin, but still didn't answer. He was considering the pros and cons of leaving Tianqizi here. The cons were obvious. Hou Shulin's bad behavior, humility and respect were all for profit. Once there was a profit, he would most likely betray him. Tell the truth.
The advantage is that the environment of Hou Shulin's academy is very good. Tianqizi lives here and is served with food and tea. Also, although Hou Shulin has bad moral character, he is smart. As long as he has enough benefits with him, he will definitely take care of Tianqi Zi with all his heart.
After pondering for a long time, Nanfeng said in a deep voice, "Do you know who this person is?"
"He is an expert who has encountered something unexpected." Hou Shulin said.
Nanfeng nodded. Just as he was about to tell him Tianqizi's identity, he swallowed his words again. He couldn't help but be careless when planning things with a person of bad character.
Seeing Nanfeng acting like this, Hou Shulin guessed what he was thinking, "They say that good birds choose trees to roost in. If you don't think I'm stupid and vulgar, young hero, Hou is willing to follow you."
"That's serious." Nanfeng waved his hand.
Seeing that Nan Feng's words were silent, Hou Shulin suddenly asked, "Does this elder have any descendants?"
Nanfeng didn't know why Hou Shulin asked this question, he frowned slightly and shook his head.
"I would like to recognize this elder as my adoptive father." Hou Shulin suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Tian Qizi, "I, Hou Shulin, swear to God that I will treat this elder as a filial son. If he is blasphemous or neglectful, he will not end well. "
The incident happened suddenly. By the time Nan Feng tried to stop it, Hou Shulin had already kowtowed three times to Qi Zi and stood up.
Seeing him like this, Nanfeng was embarrassed and embarrassed. He had seen shameless people in his life, but he had never seen anyone as shameless as Hou Shulin. He was really shameless to the extreme. In order to please him, he did not hesitate to kowtow and marry an unknown person. He is the adoptive father.
However, although Hou Shulin did this abruptly and presumptuously, it was very useful. People at this time valued oaths very much. Hou Shulin did this so that he could leave Tianqi Zi here with peace of mind.
Previously, he ate a braised chicken from Hou Shulin, and in return, he spared Hou Shulin's life. Through this incident, Hou Shulin must have noticed that he was very kind to others, and knew that as long as he did his best to help him, he would definitely be rewarded.
"I won't hide the truth from you. This person is the real person Tianqi of the Taiqing Sect. He was kind to me in the early years. This person is currently at odds with the Taiqing Sect. Do you dare to keep him here?" Nanfeng Chong told Hou Shulin about Tianqizi. identity.
Seeing what Nanfeng said, Hou Shulin knew that he was determined to keep Tianqi Zi, so he didn't bother to inquire, and immediately expressed his stance, "Don't worry, young hero, I will take good care of my adoptive father."
Hou Shulin always had a foster father, which made Nanfeng very awkward. Hou Shulin's reputation was so bad that if Tian Qi Zi regained his consciousness someday, he might not recognize him as his notorious adopted son.
"Young hero, the wind is blowing. Please settle down your adoptive father as soon as possible." Hou Shulin said.
At this point, there was nothing to hesitate about, so Nanfeng chose that wooden house. Tianqizi also lived in a wooden house in the Taiqing Sect, so he should be used to it.
After settling down, it was already the third watch, and Hou Shulin resigned and left the house.
After Hou Shulin left the wooden house, he did not go to the middle courtyard immediately, but took a walk around the east courtyard. This man was arty and hung many bird cages in the east courtyard. The birds were all released, naturally to make the east courtyard quieter.
Naturally, Hou Shulin's actions could not escape Nanfeng's eyes. He admired Hou Shulin a little. Not only was this man very good at flattering horses, but he also had a good way of serving others. This slave was really at the top of his game.
There was nothing to say in the middle of the night. At five o'clock in the morning, Nanfeng got up, packed his things and got ready to hit the road.
Hou Shulin had been watching from a distance for a long time. When he saw the wooden door opened, he came over to say hello to Nanfeng. Then he asked Tianqizi about his diet and living habits. Nanfeng told him one by one, and then left the soul-inducing bell with him. Without him, Hou Shulin would not be able to take care of Tianqizi.
Although Tianqizi was unconscious, he had advanced cultivation. In order to prevent Hou Shulin from controlling and exploiting him, he warned him sternly and said that he was not allowed to take Tianqizi out of the academy.
The ancients said that everything in the world is for profit, and all the bustle in the world is for profit. In order to let Hou Shulin serve him wholeheartedly, Nanfeng drew the pattern of the ninth tortoise shell and gave it to Hou Shulin.
Hou Shulin knew about the Book of Heaven, but he didn't know that the cracks in the tortoise shells hid mysteries. After being reminded by Nanfeng, he finally understood. He couldn't help but shed tears of gratitude. To be precise, he cried with joy. He was really lucky. He only ran errands with Nanfeng. This is such a big benefit.
Nanfeng only drew the crack pattern to Hou Shulin, but did not tell him about the text on it. The crack pattern was quick but superficial, but in fact the real mystery of the Book of Heaven lies in the text.
He now has six tortoise shells, and he is not stingy about sharing them with others. As the saying goes, it is better to be happy alone than to be happy among others. When everyone is weak, I am strong alone. This is a small thought. When everyone is strong, I am stronger. This is the overall pattern.
Hou Shulin originally wanted to stay with Nanfeng for a few days, but Nanfeng was in a hurry to leave. Hou Shulin couldn't keep him as a guest, so he brought him to the study room and wrote down the sects that were involved in besieging Nanfeng that day. He knew the details of most of the sects. The remaining ones are not very specific, but they also know the general direction.
After Hou Shulin finished writing, Nanfeng picked it up and read it. A man cannot heal his scars and forget about the pain. Those people ignored his warning and besieged him that day. They must retaliate afterwards. Good people cannot suffer, let alone bad people take advantage.
As for how to retaliate, you need to act according to the situation. You can't do things like massacre and annihilation. But letting them go like this is really too easy for them. They have to bear the consequences of their actions.
After breakfast, Nanfeng left his induction talisman and stood up to say goodbye. Taoist priests who have cultivated above the mountain can leave a trace of spiritual energy on the talisman paper. If others burn the talisman, they can sense it and follow that trace of spiritual energy to find the past.
Hou Shulin wanted to give him a gift of gold and silver, but Nanfeng declined. He still had some gold and silver on him.
Qingqing Academy is located on the eastern outskirts of Qihu City, and further east is the mountain forest. Nanfeng was not in a hurry to leave, but walked into the mountains and released the muskrat from the mountains.
The muskrat was only about the size of a thumb and had red fur. When it came out of the box, it first pooped two pieces of rat dung the size of rice grains, then raised its head and sniffed. After sniffing, it ran westward.
Nanfeng placed the wooden box on the bluestone, then took out the yellow paper Hou Shulin wrote on, and checked one by one the locations of the sects that had besieged him that day.
There were forty-one sects, large and small, that besieged him that day. Not every sect came out in full force, but only participated. Excluding those who ran away without taking action, there were still nine sects that did but did not take action. Pay the price.
He had warned these people that day, clearly telling them that if they took action, they would find their lair. At this time, the warriors were probably on guard.
Those people have no skills, so even if they take precautions, there is nothing to be afraid of. However, you must be careful of them secretly communicating with the Taiqing Sect. If the Taiqing Sect arrives after hearing the news, they will be passive.
It is said that ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, and it is not impossible to delay it for a while, but I still feel that it is not enough to relieve my anger. I have to deal with these trivial matters as soon as possible, and then concentrate on studying the heavenly book and practicing the super clear spell given by Yan Feixue.
If you go to seek revenge, you must try to be quick and leave before the Taiqing Sect arrives. Since there is more than one sect, you have to beware of the Taiqing Sect rushing to the next place after hearing the news. The safest way is to set a route and complete the attack in one go. Just leave.
After deciding the route in my mind, the muskrat has also returned. The little thing has a limited appetite, so it can be full if it finds a poisonous beetle.
In order to avoid exposing his whereabouts, Nanfeng did not summon Ba Ye immediately, but moved more than ten miles eastward. Only when he reached the mountains did he blow the whistle. Ba Ye heard the sound and rushed over to take him into the air.
Nan Feng took out the yellow paper again and looked at it for a few times, then instructs Ba Ye to fly to the southeast. When seeking revenge, you can't just pick soft persimmons, but also have to gnaw hard bones. Let's go and torment Lan Ling'er and her grandfather first...
