Seeing Chen Baxian's solemn words, Nanfeng waved his hand and closed the palace door, lowered his voice and asked, "Where is it?"
Chen Baxian did not answer, but turned around and walked towards the east side of the hall. A large map hung on the east wall of the hall, depicting the territory of Kyushu and the territory of various countries at this time. Chen Baxian arrived at the east wall and pointed to the lower left corner of the map. corner, "In this area."
In the early years, Nanfeng wandered around and visited many places. He recognized many mountains and rivers on the map. The place Chen Baxian pointed out was located in the southwest of Chen State, at the tail of the dragon vein. There were mountains on both sides of the northwest and mountains on the north. Lake, he was very familiar with this place. This was the Orc Valley where Hua Qi'er lived back then.
"How do you know he is being held here?" Nanfeng asked.
Chen Baxian raised his hand and pointed to the west, "News from the Jinding Temple in the west of the city."
Seeing Nan Feng frowning, Chen Baxian explained, "When General Lu disappeared, it was during the Southern Invasion of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The war in Jiangling was intense, so I didn't bother to search for it. However, I went to Jinding Temple afterwards to inquire about General Lu's whereabouts. According to what they said, General Lu Right here.”
"When did this happen?" Nanfeng asked. What Chen Baxian said must be the truth. The reason why he did not go to the rescue in person was because he was worried that Lu Pingchuan would turn against him and seize his power after being rescued. And the reason why he determined where Lu Pingchuan was afterward was because he knew that he and Fatty were behind Lu Pingchuan. If Lu Pingchuan disappeared, sooner or later he and Fatty would come to him and ask for his life. At that time, he would have to give them an explanation. .
"Three years ago." Chen Baxian said.
Nanfeng did not ask again. According to what Hou Shulin said before, Lu Pingchuan was captured and the bloody battle at Ziguang Pavilion Thirty-Six Tiangang in Changle were both three years ago. The Orc Valley was bloodbathed three years ago, and Li Chaozong left Chang'an the same time. three years ago.
There are two possibilities at the moment. One is that after Li Chaozong instructed Ziguang Pavilion to bloodbath the Orc Valley, he never saw the fat man showing up, so he went to the Orc Valley for a long time.
The Orc Valley was attacked and Fatty didn't show up. The only possibility is that Fatty didn't hear the news. If not, Fatty would definitely find Ziguang Pavilion and fight with them. Since the fat man didn't hear the news, he would return to the Orc Valley sooner or later. Because his family was there, there was no way he wouldn't go back to visit.
There is another possibility that Li Chaozong deliberately chose the Orc Valley to study the Heavenly Book. This is what is called darkness under the lamp. There has been a bloody tragedy there, and it is a sad place for everyone. Going back will be emotional, and no one can think of them. Will be hidden there.
"I will immediately mobilize troops and horses for the real person to dispatch." Chen Baxian said.
Nanfeng shook his head, "No, I'll go there myself."
"It's all up to the real person to decide," Chen Baxian raised his hands and asked, "I wonder what the real person's orders are when he comes here?"
"We will leave this matter for later," Nanfeng waved his hand and asked, "When did Jinding Temple encounter any changes?"
"Three years ago in the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month, the temple was suddenly burned down, and the temple priests and the soldiers responsible for guarding the temple were also killed." Chen Baxian shook his head when he said this, "Afterwards, we tried to track down the murderer, but we never found him. clue."
Just as Nanfeng was about to answer, he suddenly frowned. After a moment, he turned from worry to joy, and said urgently to Chen Baxian, "I'll take a step first, and I'll talk to you later."
After saying that, he teleported away without waiting for Chen Ba to answer.
He left eagerly not to go to the Orc Valley, but to hear the fat man shouting his Taoist name thousands of miles to the northwest. He teleported there according to the fat man's call, and when he appeared, he found himself in a quiet and elegant monk's room.
This monk's room is very spacious. At this time, the fat man is holding a stick of incense and bowing in all directions from the area near the door. There is a wooden table in the middle of the room. There are three people sitting on the benches around the wooden table, a middle-aged man and a young man. man, and a young woman.
Seeing Nan Feng appear and arrive, the fat man was very surprised, "You came too soon."
"Where is this?" Nanfeng asked. He had always thought that the fat man had been captured, but never thought that he was safe and sound.
"Huguo Temple in Northern Qi," Fatty pointed at the three people who stood up and introduced them to Nanfeng, "They are all my old friends."
After saying that, he introduced Nanfeng to the three people, "This is my sworn brother in this life."
After hearing the words, the three people put their hands together, chanted the Buddha's name, and bowed to Nanfeng.
Nanfeng bowed his head in return. None of these three people were wearing monk or nun cassocks. The middle-aged man was dressed like a woodcutter, the young man was dressed like a waiter, and the young woman was dressed like a village girl.
"Guess who they are?" The fat man said.
Nan Feng shook his head. In fact, he had already guessed the identities of the three people based on the colorful complexions on their heads. Although these three people looked like Han people, they were not Han people. Their appearance and clothing at this time were just the result of their changes.
"They have a lot of background." The fat man was very proud.
Nanfeng did not answer his question, but said casually, "I thought you were captured."
"Who was kidnapped?" the fat man asked.
"It's a long story. I'm a Taoist and I shouldn't have entered the temple." Nanfeng didn't want to stay any longer.
"Thank you, Master, for protecting the Buddhist disciples in China." The middle-aged woodcutter said.
"Master's words are serious." Nanfeng said calmly. If these three people knew that he had just punished Yin Guang not long ago, I don't know what they would think.
"So you know." The fat man yelled. Dasha is the common name of Bodhisattva, and Bodhisattva has another name, Bodhisattva.
"Why did these great masters come to my center?" Nanfeng asked. He was averse to all external interference, and these three Bodhisattvas were no exception.
"We are here to present a gift to the real person on the order of the Buddha." The village girl made something out of nothing and took out a glazed letter. The glazed letter was crystal clear and you could see the three-petaled white flower blooming in the void.
After the village girl finished speaking, the waiter added, "We will leave before noon."
Hearing this man's words, Nanfeng's resentment was greatly reduced, but his tone was still unfriendly, "We in China have a saying that no merit will be rewarded, so you should take this thing back with you."
Even though what he said was not polite, the three people were not angry. The village girl continued, "This thing is called Jinbala flower. It takes three thousand years to bloom. Just one sniff can cut off the consequences of karma and instantly eliminate the consequences of karma." Be born again.”
Nan Feng frowned and looked sideways when he heard this. Seeing him like this, the waiter knew that he didn't understand, so he explained in detail, "From this moment of Wen Xiu, there is no connection between you before and you in the future."
The waiter's words were straightforward. Nanfeng understood, but although he understood, he did not answer the question. The arrival of these three Bodhisattvas was clearly targeted. They knew that he was encountering a difficult problem, so they sent Jinbala flowers to help him resist. The past and present of Daluo Jinxian.
To be fair, what the other party sent him was exactly what he needed urgently at the moment, but he couldn't accept this gift rashly. The reason was very simple. Once you accepted their help, you owed them a favor, and you would inevitably have to take it into consideration when doing things in the future.
Seeing Nan Feng's hesitation, the fat man walked over and took the glazed letter from the village girl and handed it to Nan Feng, "This is a good thing. With it, we won't be afraid of those Da Luo Jinxian playing dirty tricks with us."
Nanfeng glanced at the fat man and did not accept the glazed letter.
Seeing this, the woodcutter spoke from the side and said, "This thing is only useful for protecting yourself. It is still the past and will never be changed or forgotten."
Nan Feng tilted his head and looked at the woodcutter. What this man said was exactly what he was worried about.
After the woodcutter finished speaking, the waiter said, "What the real person said is that no reward will be given without merit, and vice versa. We have something to ask of the real person, how can we not have any contribution?"
The village girl finally spoke, "We seek help from real people, we are open and honest, and we are not ashamed to ask for help from others."
Nanfeng nodded. The Bodhisattva who transformed into a village girl was very wise and wise. In fact, she only said half of what she said. The implication was that asking for help from others and getting help from others are both very open and bright things, and there is no shame in it. We are asking you for help very frankly. Do you still want to refuse our well-intentioned help because you want to save face
"If you don't restrain yourself and correct your mistakes, you will definitely be in disaster." Nanfeng took the glazed letter from the fat man's hand. Although they didn't talk much, he admired these Bodhisattvas very much. They were reasonable, magnanimous and sincere.
"If you make a mistake, correct it." The village girl smiled and nodded.
Nanfeng didn't hesitate, took off the glass cover and smelled the Jinbala flower.
The scent of this goldenrod flower is somewhat similar to that of orchid. It is not very strong, and there is no unusual reaction after sniffing it.
"Smell it for me too." The fat man came over.
Nanfeng tilted his head in confusion.
"Just mind yourself. What if they come back and kill me?" the fat man said.
After the fat man finished speaking, Nan Feng handed the golden flower to the fat man, who took it and smelled it.
Without the cover of the glass, the Jinbala flower quickly withered. The fat man handed the glass treasure letter back to the village girl and said something in Sanskrit. The latter did not speak and just smiled.
"Amitabha, please take care of yourself. We are going back now." The woodcutter said goodbye to Nanfeng.
"Blessings are immeasurable, Lord Blessed. Thank you for your hard work, three noble men." Nan Fengchong and the other three bowed their heads and thanked them. People always need the kind help of others when they are alive. It is not shameful to accept the kind help of others. Ask others to provide help and repay it. It can also reflect a person's self-cultivation. If you refuse the kindness of others for the sake of face, it is not hard-hearted or stubborn, but selfish and narrow-minded.
After Nan Feng finished speaking, the woodcutter disappeared first. The waiter said something in Sanskrit to the fat man and then disappeared. The village girl left last. Before leaving, she said to Nan Feng, "We will not come again."
After all three of them disappeared, the fat man came over and asked, "How do you feel?"
"I don't feel anything," Nanfeng said casually, "How did they find you?"
"Isn't it easy for them to find me?" Fatty suddenly remembered something, "By the way, why didn't you bring Yuan Anning with you? Your opponent may be hiding nearby, but we can't leave her alone in Chang'an."
"You're too late, she was already taken away last night." Nanfeng smiled bitterly.
"Huh?" The fat man was surprised.
"Stop, come with me to the Orc Valley." Nanfeng said.
"What are you doing there?" The fat man frowned.
"Li Chaozong may be there, go and kill him..."
