"Don't go to Jiangbei." Tian Dezi hurriedly warned.
"I know." Tianqizi opened the door and stepped out.
Tian Dezi looked at Tian Chengzi, who understood, stood up and closed the door.
Tian Dezi tilted his head and looked at Nanfeng, "The Taixuan Sutra can only be practiced by successive masters. Junior Brother Tianyuan teaches you the Taixuan Sutra, which is a great respect for you."
Tian Dezi stopped talking here, and Nanfeng didn't respond because Tian Dezi obviously didn't finish what he said.
After a brief pause, Tian Dezi said again, "Since he sent you back to the mountain, he intends to let you shoulder the heavy responsibility. We should obey his decision, but you are still young and should not show your prowess. In this way, you Return to the Hall of Secular Affairs, hide yourself there, and keep a low profile until next September, when we will try to get you to worship at the mountain gate."
Nanfeng nodded, "Excuse me, Master, who is the current headmaster?"
Although Nanfeng asked this question in a presumptuous and abrupt manner, everyone showed approval. This showed that Nanfeng not only understood the path they wanted him to take, but also had begun to look forward to the difficulties that might arise on this path.
However, Tian Dezi did not answer his question directly, "There are some things you don't need to know now. We won't look for you again after we go back. You should do everything as usual, and don't be impatient to reveal it." Tian Dezi said this. He looked at Tian Chengzi and said, "To avoid unnecessary complications, don't give him any extra care."
Tian Chengzi nodded in agreement.
"Do you have anything to say?" Tian Dezi looked around at everyone.
The only elderly Taoist nun in the room tilted her head and looked at Nanfeng, "Who is your surname? Who are your parents? Do you have any relatives at home?"
Nanfeng knew that the other party was interrogating his origins, so he repeated what he said when he made a vow that day. The old Taoist nun nodded slowly. It was not difficult to verify what Nanfeng said. There was no secular matter involved, and it would save a lot of trouble in the future.
After the old Taoist nun asked, another old Taoist asked again, "The Taixuan Sutra has one hundred and eight sentences. Have you ever memorized them all?"
Nanfeng shook his head, "The Taixuan Scripture is not that long, only thirty-two sentences."
Everyone nodded after hearing the words. Although they had never practiced the Taixuan Sutra, they knew that the Taixuan Sutra was not long. The old Taoist had originally deceived him in order to make sure that Nanfeng really knew the Taixuan Sutra. This is the prerequisite for everyone to assist and cultivate him, and must be confirmed.
Then another veteran said, "Tell us the details of your encounter with Junior Brother Tianyuan."
Nanfeng immediately began to tell the story after hearing the words. Since the day he met Tian Yuanzi, everyone had sworn sworn vows, Changle had committed crimes and avoided the Dharma assembly. He met the Taoist nun who turned into a snake spirit. He didn't even hide the fact that he went to the Xishan Cemetery, but he was about to encounter The time to arrive at Lin Zhendong was advanced, and he mentioned that before the two went to Dongcheng Inn, there was no conflict with what he had said to Tian Chengzi before. Due to Lin Zhendong's surveillance, the two did not go to Dongcheng Inn, and the next step was Lin Zhendong's various performances when the two went south, including Tian Yuanzi's recruitment of disciples on his deathbed, until Tian Yuanzi's death in the end.
He did not mention the mysterious woman in white who appeared when Tian Yuanzi was doing his exercises. Firstly, the woman in white was not important. Secondly, he was also worried that the woman in white had some entanglement with Tian Yuanzi, and that everyone would misunderstand Tian Yuanzi after they knew about it.
What he said was 90% true. The only thing he concealed was the Turtle Shell Heavenly Book. The Taixuan Scripture and the Tortoise Shell Heavenly Book were his two amulets. Now that he knew that the Taixuan Scripture had been known to everyone, although he felt that no one was aware of it. It would harm him, but with Lin Zhendong's past experience, he no longer dared to trust others, and he had to keep this last amulet.
After Nanfeng finished speaking, the old man who asked the question nodded.
While Lao Dao nodded, others tilted their heads and looked at Tian Chengzi, who also nodded. The situation Nanfeng said was basically consistent with the message he had given him that day, but some irrelevant links were omitted that day.
Nanfeng was relieved when he saw this. If the question asked by the other party was very simple, he would be exposed immediately if he lied. But the answer to this question is very complicated. If there is one lie mixed in ten truths, it will not be easily detected.
"If the handymen who work with you ask us why we came here to find you, how would you answer?" one of the middle-aged Taoists asked.
Nanfeng knew that the other party was testing his reaction, so he asked casually, "Whose residence is here?"
"This is the other courtyard of Master Tiande." said the middle-aged Taoist.
"A very important thing from Master Tiande was missing. He asked me if he had stolen it. I told him that I didn't own the toilet here, so Master Tiande asked me to go back." Nanfeng said.
After Nanfeng finished speaking, everyone nodded, and Tian Dezi said, "Wear a pendant around your waist."
Nan Feng nodded.
The others, Nanfeng, couldn't remember the road number, but Tian Shuzi, who had chased Tian Qi Zi back, remembered it. Tian Shuzi said, "When you go back, call the driver who is responsible for dumping the toilet in the other courtyard. Also, you have to remember , be patient and don’t attract other people’s attention, we won’t do much until you reach adulthood.”
Nanfeng nodded heavily, "Remember."
"Also, don't practice the nine scriptures on your own, lest others spy on you." Tian Shuzi said again.
"Although I have memorized the scriptures, I can't read them. I can't practice even if I want to," Nanfeng said.
No one said anything after that, Tian Dezi nodded to Tian Chengzi, who got up and took Nan Feng out.
As we walked towards the main road in the mountains, Tian Chengzi warned us again, "Even if we meet on the way, don't talk to us."
Nanfeng nodded in agreement.
Tianchengzi went south along the main road. The south wind passed through the main road and walked on the path leading to the Western Mountain.
Because he had delayed a lot of time before, Nanfeng walked very quickly when he returned. Suddenly, there were so many people supporting him behind him. What brought him was not confidence, but worry. It could be seen that these people They were very cautious when discussing matters, almost to the point of caution. Previously, Nazhike Taoist Lingxizi once said that there are thirty-seven purple energy masters with mountain cultivation level and above in this mountain, but only nine people participated in the discussion. It can be seen from this that The strength gap between the two sides is very different.
He had no intention of getting involved in this power struggle, but at this time he had been involved and was at the center of the whirlpool. If the other party knew of his existence, Tian Dezi and others would definitely not be able to protect him. Taiqing Mountain is so big and has so many people. It would be very satisfying if he could become the leader. But he is only thirteen years old now. If he wants to take over as the leader, it will take at least several decades. He is afraid that he has not yet become the leader. The teacher was killed.
On the way back to the west slope, Nanfeng even had the intention of running away. He had nothing and could leave at any time, but after much deliberation, he still did not run away. When Tian Chengzi took him to the front yard to rest, he once said that Tian Yuanzi was If someone is framed, he has received great kindness from Tian Yuanzi and should find a way to repay him. Finding out the truth, finding the real culprit, and restoring Yuanzi's innocence is the best reward for the deceased.
When he returned to his residence, a group of coachmen and women from the kitchen immediately gathered around him, asking all kinds of questions about what Shangxuan Palace had asked him to do. Nanfeng responded as he had said before, and asked Tian Dezi, who was responsible for the cleaning, to go there. The coachman from another hospital went to be interrogated.
When everyone heard what was going on, they immediately lost interest, and the unlucky coachman left in fear.
Nanfeng also said the same thing to Sun Shishi and Lingkangzi who took him to another hospital. The former believed it, but the latter did not ask again although he looked suspicious.
Because he was frightened when he was questioned earlier, Nan Feng was in a difficult mood. He originally wanted to go back to his room to rest, but in order to avoid others' suspicion, he had to go to the kitchen to help as usual. He had a quick mind and quick hands and feet, and the women in the kitchen They all like him and always hide some delicate food for him.
After dinner, Nanfeng ran to another room to learn calligraphy with a handyman who knew how to write. Every time he went there, he would always bring some food or tea and wine, and he was willing to teach the people in the same room. I don’t think they would light a lamp to dazzle the eyes and disturb people’s sleep.
At the second watch, Nan Feng returned to his room and lay down to rest as usual. No one noticed anything unusual about him.
He got up early the next day and continued to work in the car. After that, no one came to see him for a long time. After making sure that the news was not leaked, Nanfeng was completely relieved. Apart from working every day, he also studied calligraphy. After being paid, he would always use part of his salary to pay tribute. Sun Shishi and Lingxizi would buy some rice wine with their remaining wages and give it to their co-workers. If there was any leftover, they would buy some fruits and melons with the aunts in the kitchen to eat.
Nanfeng was growing up. He had not had enough to eat before and was short and thin. There was no shortage of rice in Taiqing Mountain. In half a year, he had grown nearly two inches. His childishness had faded and he now looked like a teenager...
