Nanfeng suddenly frowned when he heard this, but stopped talking.
Seeing that he no longer answered the question, the old Taoist priest from Shangqing Dynasty scolded him again, turned around and walked north with a few others.
At this moment, Yuan Anning stood up and followed out, "Taoist Master, please stay."
Everyone turned around after hearing the sound, and Yuan Anning stepped forward, raised his hands and asked, "Does the Taoist priest know who Li Chaozongna married?"
"That person is not an ordinary woman. She is the current King of Northern Medicine. Her surname is Zhuge, but I don't remember her name." The old Taoist said.
"Thank you so much, Taoist Master, please go slowly." Yuan Anning raised his hand to express his thanks.
Everyone knew that she was traveling with Nanfeng, so they bowed politely to her and then turned around and left.
After everyone left, Yuan Anning turned to look at Nanfeng.
Seeing Yuan Anning looking at him, Nanfeng smiled at her to thank her for her understanding. In fact, what Yuan Anning asked was exactly what he wanted to ask but didn't. The reason why he didn't ask was because once he asked, it would show He was very concerned about Zhuge Chanjuan, but it was true that he wanted to laugh, but it was also true that he couldn't laugh. Even he knew that he was smiling very reluctantly.
"This matter is very fishy. Miss Zhuge is afraid that she was coerced by Li Chaozong." Yuan Anning said calmly.
Nan Feng didn't answer, not because he didn't want to answer, but because he didn't know what to say. Any other woman would never encourage the man she likes to meet her love rival, especially when it's not clear who this man is now. .
Seeing that Nanfeng didn't answer, Yuan Anning added, "Earlier, the Taoist said that today is the fifteenth day. The implication is that today is the twilight period. The Eighth Master is not here and the journey is long, so we need to leave as soon as possible."
If he said he didn't want to go, it would be a lie. Now that Yuan Anning had already said it, it would be too pretentious to moan and coy. After anxiously pondering, Nanfeng said, "You go with me."
Yuan Anning shook his head, "That's inappropriate."
"There's nothing wrong with that." Nanfeng waved his hand. He had to be measured and not let the other person be wronged just because he was kind.
Yuan Anning did not answer immediately, but went to the inn to pay the bill, took out the baggage, and walked westward with Nanfeng. While walking, he said, "Have you ever thought about it, Li Chaozong's move is probably Xiang Zhuang's sword dance." , intended for Pei Gong."
Nanfeng nodded. Li Chaozong was the leader of the martial arts community in the Western Wei Dynasty. He was a person of status. He was still taking concubines when he was seventy or eighty years old. This was not a glorious thing. He should have kept it secret, but he publicized it so much that the news spread to the Eastern Wei Dynasty. , indicating that Li Chaozong had already spread the word. As Yuan Anning said, Li Chaozong's move was most likely to lure him to go.
Yuan Anning added, "If Li Chaozong really has this intention, he will definitely set up an ambush from Chang'an. It will be very dangerous for you to go. I am a newbie in the mountains and I am not proficient in martial arts. If I go, it will only distract you."
Nanfeng didn't answer. As the saying goes, caring leads to chaos. The calmness he showed at this time was just showing calmness. In fact, he was already anxious. The anxiety was not because Zhuge Chanjuan was committed to others, but because this person was Li Chaozong, Zhuge Liang. Even if Chanjuan breaks off her relationship with him, she will never marry Li Chaozong willingly.
Yuan Anning continued, "You go there first, I will go to Yubi as soon as possible, and then rush to Chang'an to pick you up."
"General Wang and the others are no longer in Yubi." Nanfeng said.
"My firearms and concealed weapons are all there," Yuan Anning said, "We are on our way to Yubi and Yingchuan. Don't worry about me and leave early."
Nanfeng thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Even if we go, we can't leave immediately. We can't lose our trust. That water snake has worked hard and accomplished a lot. We have to go to Fuyun Mountain first and get the spiritual things that the master's wife said about it. "
"Leave this matter to me." Yuan Anning said.
Nan Feng waved his hand and said, "You don't know something. Any magical creature is likely to have a different kind of guardian nearby. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."
Feeling that what Nanfeng said made sense, Yuan Anning stopped insisting and used the body technique first to fly through the air.
The south wind boosted its energy to catch up.
Afterwards, the two of them concentrated on their journey and did not talk for a while.
In order to be faster, the two of them did not follow the waterway in the opposite direction, but took a shortcut and went straight. At that time, they entered the densely forested mountainous area and should not be far from Fuyun Mountain.
At this point, Nanfeng spoke, "Do you really want me to go?"
"Although I am in the same boat as Miss Zhuge, I cannot ignore your feelings." Yuan Anning replied.
After asking and answering, there was no further explanation.
Nanfeng regretted asking so many questions. Yuan Anning's words could also be understood in reverse. This was a tactful but firm statement of his attitude. The implication was that there was no possibility of resolving the grudge with Zhuge Chanjuan. The key question was She won't give in.
Nanfeng couldn't explain how he was feeling at this time. He really liked Yuan Anning. Yuan Anning had a noble character and a noble demeanor. He remembered the kindness he received that day and risked his life to repay the kindness. This was a tribute to him. Even though he was in love, he never fought for his love. It was not until he was sure that he and Zhuge Chanjuan were not married that he revealed his true feelings. He knew that it would be very dangerous to go to Chang'an to rescue him. He even made arrangements for his funeral before leaving, and stayed with her on the island for nearly two years. Taking care of him, he was blind. He only knew what kind of food Yuan Anning and him had, but he didn't know what Yuan Anning himself ate.
But he also really likes Zhuge Chanjuan. Zhuge Chanjuan also has no reservations about him. She fell in love with him when he was useless and helped him with all her resources but asked for nothing. Both he and the fat man have suffered a lot from Zhuge Chanjuan. Enhui is not a poor wife, but a friend of the poor and the lowly. The most important thing is that he and Zhuge Chanjuan were originally on the same road. With Zhuge Chanjuan, he was more casual and comfortable. It was like the meal yesterday, if it were Zhuge Chanjuan. Chanjuan will definitely devour the food like him, and he also prefers that the woman sitting next to him can open her belly and eat and drink with him regardless of the appearance of the food.
The reason why he forcibly endured on the island and did not have a relationship with Yuan Anning was out of respect for Yuan Anning, but only he himself knew that there was another reason, that is, he always cared about Zhuge Chanjuan in his heart. May the ruthless let you down.
If he can get one without hurting the other, he will immediately roll the dice and choose one. Either one is good, and he will be satisfied if he gets one. But the problem is that he cannot choose. Choosing one will definitely hurt the other, and this Neither of the two women should have to live up to what they did.
Nanfeng was thinking a lot, but did not search for the path until Yuan Anning interrupted his thoughts, "Is it there?"
The south wind followed Yuan Anning's direction and looked toward the northeast. There was a towering mountain peak twenty miles ahead, with white clouds lingering on the mountainside.
He had never been to Fuyun Mountain before and didn't know its specific location. However, the peak in front of him matched the name of Fuyun Mountain. "Let's go and have a look."
Li Luoxue was talking about Yinlu that day, and Yinlu mostly refers to the shady back mountain. When they went to the back mountain, they found a sinkhole, located among thorns and weeds, and surrounded by several towering trees.
This sinkhole is very small, the entrance is less than one foot. Looking around carefully, there is no strange smell around.
The two of them landed on the edge of the sinkhole and looked down. Sure enough, there was a deep pool below. Different from ordinary stagnant water, this pool was very clear. There must be a spring at the bottom. The spring water surged up from five feet away from the entrance of the cave through the four walls. The cracks in the stone flow elsewhere.
There is an exotic lotus growing in the middle of the pool. This lotus is different from ordinary lotus. Its leaves are no bigger than a copper coin. They are divided into black and white. Dozens of lotus leaves spread around the middle bud, half black and half, like a piece of nature. There is a Tai Chi diagram on the ground, and the yin and yang eyes of the Tai Chi diagram each have a black and white lotus flower. It may not be in the flowering period at this time, and the flower buds have not yet unfolded and have not yet opened.
Because the spring water is crystal clear, the situation under the water and around it is clear at a glance. The imaginary alien guardian does not exist. The reason why there is no alien guardian must be related to the special terrain here. This sinkhole is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, like a bottleneck. It's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out.
"I'll wait for it from here. You should go earlier." Yuan Anning urged.
Looking to the southeast from the south wind, "It's only a hundred miles away. Wait for it."
Yuan Anning tilted his head in confusion when he heard this. This place was still quite far away from Chang'an. Even if Nanfeng set off immediately, he might not be able to get there before nightfall.
"Wait, wait." Nanfeng raised his hand.
Although Yuan Anning didn't know the reason, he didn't ask any more. He thought about it and said, "There is a secret room in the east room of my former residence in Chang'an. There is a wooden box on the table in the secret room, and there are several thunderbolts in it. .”
Nanfeng nodded. The Sky-shattering Copper Thunder is a relatively common firearm with limited power.
"I will rush there as soon as possible. If I am late, I will go to the ruined temple in the south of the city where you and I treated the injuries that day." Yuan Anning said again.
Nanfeng nodded again.
"The other party is waiting for work, so he must be fully prepared. It is extremely dangerous for you to go here, and there is no Ba Ye to support you." Yuan Anning took a deep breath when he said this. It was obvious that he wanted to sigh, maybe because he thought that sighing would affect Nanfeng's morale. He didn't sigh deeply, but exhaled softly, and at the same time said, "Fortunately, they don't know that you have regained your sight, so they will probably slack off."
Nanfeng shook his head, "Li Chaozong will not underestimate the enemy. This old guy is very cunning. Even if he is a lion fighting a rabbit, he will use all his strength."
"What are your plans?" Yuan Anning asked softly.
"The situation is still unclear now, and there is no point in thinking too much. Let's talk about it after we go." Nanfeng said casually. His biggest pressure at this time was not from Li Chaozong, but from Yuan Anning and Zhuge Chanjuan. He was worried about saving his life. Zhuge Chanjuan comes out, how to get along with them in the future.
After waiting for half a stick of incense, the water snake finally arrived.
As soon as the water hyena arrived, Nanfeng immediately took action, swooped in, and grabbed the lotus petiole before falling into the water. At the same time, his right palm sent out spiritual energy to bombard the water surface, and used the force to sweep back and bring out the lotus.
The instinct of aliens is much stronger than that of humans, and they know what is useful to them. When they saw the lotus brought by the south wind, they immediately meandered forward.
When the water snake approached, Nanfeng tore off a piece of red lotus root about a foot long and threw it backhand.
The water snake lowered its head, raised its head and swallowed. After swallowing, it looked at the south wind.
Nanfeng picked the two lotuses that had not yet opened and gave them to him. The water snake picked up the food one by one, then raised its head and lowered it slowly, as if it was thanking the two of them.
Seeing that the water hyena had no intention of swallowing the remaining part of the lotus, Nanfeng turned around and said to Yuan Anning, "I have to go. Don't worry, I won't mess up the situation."
Yuan Anning nodded. Originally she was wondering why Nanfeng didn't leave, but now she finally understood that all spiritual objects have the effect of replenishing qi. Nanfeng wanted to gain some wisdom to make up for her promotion to Taixuan Institute. The 10% spiritual energy needed.
"I left the Yang-Returning Pill between you and me to my brother. I will go to Yingchuan to look for him. If he has not used it, I will bring it to you." Yuan Anning said.
"That should be enough, don't bother, I'm leaving." Nanfeng shook his head and said.
After saying that, when Yuan Anning nodded, he jumped up and flew west...
