There were too many gold, silver and jewels, and they couldn't be taken away, so they had to send them to the temple.
But Jinding Temple only wanted gold, and they had to pick it up before sending it away. Zhuge Chanjuan and Fatty were both willing to do this. Nanfeng was happy and free, so he talked to Mo Li who woke up to make sure that Mo Li really wanted to follow him. Lu Pingchuan then wrote down the pattern of one of the tortoise shells and asked Mo Li to keep it and hand it over to Lu Pingchuan one day. Lu Pingchuan would study it and then teach it to Mo Li.
Although Mo Li had never practiced martial arts, he had heard about the Book of Heaven and knew that if he learned the Book of Heaven, he could become a top master. He was very happy thinking that he would be able to do whatever he wanted in the future.
"Being unbridled is not the goal. Acting chivalrously and righteously is the purpose of cultivating Taoism and practicing martial arts." Nanfeng corrected him.
"I remember, when I master kung fu, I will act chivalrously, hoe the strong and help the weak." Li Li nodded in agreement.
Before Nanfeng could answer, the fat man on the side took over, "There is no need to deliberately act chivalrously, that would be too fake and too tiring. Let me teach you a trick. When you grow up in the future, don't bully honest people. There is no point in being honest, just bully those who bully others."
The fat man's words were difficult to pronounce. Li Li frowned and scratched his head, but did not react.
Seeing him like this, the fat man explained, "You will punish anyone who is dishonest. You understand this time."
"Understood." Mo Li nodded repeatedly.
Lest Li Li was misled by Fatty, Nanfeng hurriedly interjected, "You have to understand clearly. Fatty means that you should punish anyone who is a bad person, but you can't just punish anyone you don't like, otherwise it will become a disaster."
The two of them made Li Li confused with their words. Hearing Nan Feng's words, he just nodded blankly, fearing that he didn't really understand.
Seeing him like this, Nanfeng had no choice but to be patient and emphasize again that Mo Li had been unfortunate in his childhood. Several sworn brothers, including him, felt guilty about Mo Li and were too doting and protective of him. The Book of Heaven was not an ordinary martial art. If Mo Li had learned the kung fu in the Heavenly Book, once he made a mistake, the consequences would be disastrous.
Mo Li is very good at talking, and Zhuge Chanjuan also likes him very much. Seeing Nanfeng talking to him seriously, Zhuge Chanjuan used the excuse to change Moli's dressing, so that Nanfeng's warnings could not continue.
When Zhuge Chanjuan was changing Mo Li's dressing, the fat man waved to Nan Feng. When Nan Feng passed by, he asked in a low voice, "How many did you give Mo Li just now?"
"One piece." Nanfeng said.
The fat man frowned when he heard this, "How many cards did you give Changle?"
Nan Feng said nothing, he knew what the fat man wanted to say.
"Give it all to him." The fat man whispered.
Seeing Nan Feng's hesitation, the fat man added, "What you gave me were just martial arts moves, not all of them. It won't be a big deal."
"Back then, Xu Kun only practiced the martial arts moves of a piece of turtle shell, and he became a top master..."
"No matter how powerful he is, can he be more powerful than you?" The fat man frowned, disrupting Nan Feng's words.
"That's not what I meant." Nanfeng shook his head and sighed. He took out two more talisman papers and wrote down the patterns on the last two pieces of tortoise shell. He had given Lu Pingchuan three pieces earlier, plus these Three pieces, Lu Pingchuan got six pieces.
In fact, his unwillingness to draw all the tortoise shell patterns to Lu Pingchuan was not for personal gain, but because he had other concerns. If Lu Pingchuan got six pieces of tortoise shell, I am afraid that even the three sect leaders would not be his opponents in the future. What if Lu Pingchuan Pingchuan has developed ambitions, and no one will be able to stop Lu Pingchuan except him, and the last thing he wants to see is for his brothers to turn against each other.
After Zhuge Chanjuan changed the medicine for Mo Li, Nanfeng also handed the two talisman papers to Mo Li, giving many instructions, lest Mo Li lose carelessly.
After picking out the gold, there were still a lot of jade, copper, and pearls left. The fat man packed the gold in a large vat and sent it to the Jinding Temple. Zhuge Chanjuan packed the remaining gold in cloth bags and borrowed Ba Ye from Nanfeng to put it away. Those things were sent back to Gongjun Cave.
"It's so black after you burned it. Can you still live there?" Nanfeng said angrily. At the same time, he grabbed one of the pockets, found a few jade ornaments and put them into his arms.
"That's right. Then find a place to put it first." Zhuge Chanjuan stretched out her hand and pointed eastward. "I heard from Zhengde that there are many islands with pleasant scenery in the East China Sea. After you finish your business, we will find a new place to live in the East China Sea."
Nanfeng glanced at Zhuge Chanjuan and did not answer her question.
This is not a place to stay for a long time. They were worried that staying too long would attract their opponents, so the four of them packed up and hit the road.
Lihuo Palace is one of the seven sects in the south of the Yangtze River. It is located in the middle of Liang State, not very far from Jiankang. In the late afternoon, the four of them arrived near Lihuo Palace.
Lihuo Palace is located in the mountains, and the nearest town is two hundred miles away to the east. Lihuo Palace is also built on a mountain, but the mountain topography is very special. The buildings of Lihuo Palace are located around the top of the mountain. The sunken area in the middle is a volcanic crater. The rolling heat waves that distort the air above can be seen from a long distance.
Out of respect for Lihuo Palace, the four of them did not land directly in front of Lihuo Palace. Instead, they landed on the mountain road three miles east of Lihuo Palace and walked there.
Lihuo Palace belongs to a large sect, and there is a concierge at the foot of the mountain. Nanfeng reported his name and asked the concierge to go up the mountain to inform him.
"Is she on the mountain?" Fatty asked in a low voice.
"I don't know." Nanfeng shook his head. Although his heavenly eyes can see human spiritual energy cultivation and alien souls, they need to be unobstructed.
After half a stick of incense, a group of people came down from the mountain. The leader was Liu Ruyan, the master of Lihuo Palace. Liu Ruyan was a human, and there was no true soul appearing on his head. At that time, Liu Ruyan was cultivating in the mountain. In the past few years, his cultivation level has also improved. At this time, he is the Purple Qi Cave Abyss. The few people following him are considered important figures in the sect. There are two Li Zi Jushan, and the remaining few are the Dark Blue Cave.
The palace master personally came down the mountain to greet the guests, which was the highest courtesy to the guests. After several years, Liu Ruyan's appearance had not changed much, and her demeanor and behavior were the same as before.
When they arrived at Deshan, Nanfeng went up first to greet Liu Ruyan, saying that he had something to ask for advice.
Liu Ruyan returned the favor and looked at the fat man behind Nanfeng, Zhuge Chanjuan and Mo Li one by one.
Liu Ruyan's eyes swept over the fat man's face, and when he looked at Zhuge Chanjuan and Mo Li, his eyes paused.
In order to show the importance he attached to everyone, Liu Ruyan invited important figures from the sect to greet them. With them by his side, some words were naturally not allowed to be said. It was not until the three of them were welcomed into the Lihuo Hall and the rest of the crowd retreated that Nanfeng looked towards them. The fat man and others sitting at the bottom said, "I have something to say with the Palace Master, so you should stay away for now."
Both Fatty and Zhuge Chanjuan thought that Nanfeng was going to talk to Liu Ruyan about Mo Li, so they didn't think much about it, got up and confessed, and then left the palace door with Mo Li with a confused look on his face.
When the three of them walked away, Nanfeng was about to speak, but Liu Ruyan spoke first, "Master, are you going to ask Zhuge Chanjuan what's the difference in her strange physique?"
"Exactly." Nanfeng nodded.
"It's okay to tell the truth to Zhenren, Zhuge Chanjuan is Zhu..." At this point, Liu Ruyan seemed to have remembered something, and changed the topic, "What is Zhenren's cultivation now?"
Although Liu Ruyan's question seemed a bit abrupt, Nanfeng still answered truthfully, "I was promoted to Taixuan not long ago."
"What?!" Liu Ruyan frowned upon hearing this.
Seeing her like this, Nanfeng was very confused. Although he and Liu Ruyan did not have a close relationship, they did have some friendship. He was promoted to Taixuan, and Liu Ruyan should be happy. However, her expression showed tension and worry. .
After a moment of silence, Liu Ruyan slowly shook his head, "The real person came from afar and should have told everything, but this matter is unusual. I can tell the truth to her, but she can't tell you. Don't blame the real person."
Nanfeng didn't expect Liu Ruyan to say this, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.
After pondering, Nanfeng said, "To be honest, Palace Master, Pindao has had some luck in recent years. He has acquired the Longmu Heavenly Eye, which allows him to distinguish his complexion and see his true nature. After meeting Zhuojing again, he discovered that there was a mysterious bird spirit in his spiritual platform. , I have many doubts in my heart, so I have no choice but to come here and ask the palace master to clarify my doubts."
After listening to Nanfeng's words, Liu Ruyan first congratulated him, and then said, "Zhuge Chanjuan is not an alien, she is just gifted and different from ordinary people."
When Liu Ruyan said this, she picked up the tea cup, but she did not drink the tea or water, but held the tea cup thoughtfully.
Nanfeng thought that he would know the truth immediately after arriving, but he never thought that Liu Ruyan's attitude would change drastically, and she would keep it secret and say nothing.
"Since the Palace Master doesn't want to tell you, he has something to hide, and I can't force anyone to do it," Nanfeng said. "Actually, I have another thing to do when I come here this time."
"Please speak." Liu Ruyan put down the tea cup.
"The young man sitting at the bottom of the table just now is my adopted brother. His name is Mo Li. He is sixteen this year. Like our brothers, he is also an orphan." Nanfeng said and stopped here to observe Liu Ruyan's expression.
Liu Ruyan looked expressionless and picked up the tea cup again.
Seeing her like this, Nanfeng said again, "Mo Li once had a green jade pendant with the word Mo Li on it when he was young." Nanfeng took out a few jade pendants from his arms as he spoke, "Later, due to the need to make a living, that jade pendant... We pawned it off, but I remember the style of that jade pendant. The color of that jade pendant is similar to this jade pendant, the style is somewhat similar to this one, and the buckle on it is very similar to this one."
Liu Ruyan still didn't answer, and her expression was not abnormal, but the teacup in her hand moved strangely, and her hands were shaking.
Seeing her like this, Nanfeng was worried and said, "We already have clues about the jade pendant he pawned, so it won't be difficult to find it."
The teacup in Liu Ruyan's hand clinked, almost unsteadily.
"Only Zhengde Zhuge Chanjuan and I know about this matter. No one else knows about it, and neither does Mo Li himself." After Nanfeng finished speaking, he stood up, "Mo Li was separated from us in the early years and suffered a lot. Now that we have found him, we will not let him suffer any further injustice."
Liu Ruyan put the teacup back on the wooden table, her lips trembled and she stopped talking.
"If you're sorry for the trouble, we'll leave now." Nanfeng turned around to leave.
"Wait." Liu Ruyan stood up.
Nanfeng stopped when he heard the sound, but did not turn around. There was no doubt that Liu Ruyan was Mo Li's mother, but Liu Ruyan's reaction after learning the truth made him very dissatisfied. Liu Ruyan did not talk to Mo Li at all. The meaning of separation.
"Where are you taking him?" Liu Ruyan asked eagerly.
"This is our brothers' own business." Nanfeng stepped forward.
"It's getting late, let's stay here for the night." Liu Ruyan said with a trembling voice.
"No need." Nanfeng stretched out his hand to open the palace door.
"Okay, I'll tell you." Liu Ruyan raised her voice.
"No need." Nanfeng opened the palace door. He was angry not because Liu Ruyan didn't tell him the truth, but because Liu Ruyan didn't recognize Mo Li.
"You have already been promoted to Taixuan. If you are with her, your cultivation will be ruined..."
