"I wish you a happy marriage and many children and grandchildren." Tianmingzi congratulated.
"Thank you very much." Nanfeng returned the greeting with one hand.
"If there is nothing else, we will go back now." Tianmingzi said he was leaving, but his tone was reluctant.
Seeing him like this, Nanfeng just realized that Tianmingzi's cultivation had been abolished by Li Chaozong and others earlier, and he did not restore his cultivation on the day he was rescued. This time he should have used the excuse of congratulations. Come to him for help.
Thinking of this, he stretched out his spiritual energy to connect his meridians, and then asked in a low voice, "Is the senior on the mountain still healthy?"
Tian Mingzi noticed the changes in his body and was stunned. He did not answer. Seeing that he was silent, another young Taoist answered on his behalf, "I'm thinking of you, my uncle. They are all fine."
Tianmingzi came back to his senses and hesitated to speak. Maybe he wanted to say thank you, or maybe he wanted to correct the young Taoist's name for Nanfeng. However, after hesitating, he said something else, "Something seems to have happened on the mountain." , I think the expressions on the senior brothers’ faces are not right, but I don’t know what happened, and you also know that they won’t tell me anything.”
When Nanfeng heard this, his heart became heavier and heavier. What he worried about had indeed happened. Daluo Jinxian had probably picked someone from the Taiqing Sect to fight.
He originally wanted Tianmingzi to take the message back, but after thinking about it for a long time, he finally gave up the idea. He couldn't make any promise to Taiqing Sect, and it would be wrong to say anything. All he could say was, "I accepted the things, thank you for your hard work."
Tianmingzi completed his errand and achieved his goal. He had no intention of staying for a long time, so he said goodbye and hurried away with the young Taoist.
Watching the two disappear at the entrance of the alley, Nanfeng turned around and wanted to return. At this moment, another man wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat came from the west side and said, "The real person stays."
The man's appearance is deep red, and he is a man who has been promoted to Xuan. Since his head and face are covered by a bamboo hat, his appearance cannot be seen clearly, but judging from his body shape, he should be a young and strong man.
The visitor walked quickly, and when he came to Nanfeng, he took out a wooden box from his arms and said, "Thank you, Master, for your careful protection. I have a pair of jade. I wish you great happiness."
Although many years have passed, Nanfeng still remembers this person. This person is a Taoist from Yuqing. He studied Taoism from Chiyang Palace and had some contacts with this person.
But I could only pretend not to know him, took the wooden box from the visitor, and said thank you.
The visitor bowed his head and turned to leave.
When he returned to his residence, Zhuge Chanjuan greeted him. Seeing his gloomy expression, she casually asked, "Who is here?"
"Taiqing Sect and Yuqing Sect sent people to deliver gifts." Nanfeng placed the food box and wooden box on the table.
Zhuge Chanjuan frowned slightly when she heard this, "They should draw a clear line with you now. Why would they send you a congratulatory gift?"
Nanfeng didn't answer, he casually picked up the square wooden box and opened it. Inside was a pair of dragon and phoenix jade, the size of a palm, carved from white jade, with fine powder. It could be worn around the waist or around the neck.
When Nanfeng looked at the jade, Zhuge Chanjuan said, "But there are people in Yuqing and Taiqing who were chosen by heaven. They sent gifts and wanted to ask you to show mercy?"
"The Yuqing Sect sent a congratulatory gift, presumably because I had persuaded Emperor Wu to preserve the Yuqing Sect." Nanfeng put down the wooden box and opened the food box. There were two layers of snacks in the food box, and one layer was glutinous rice cakes. The second layer is fried glutinous rice dumplings, which are snacks often eaten by Taiqing Taoists.
The food box had only two layers, with nothing but snacks and no letters or messages.
Nanfeng pinched a piece of glutinous rice and took it out. As soon as he put it to his mouth, Zhuge Chanjuan snatched it away. After sniffing it, he handed it to Nanfeng.
She was very vigilant when she took the son away, but felt a little embarrassed when she returned the son. She was just worried about poisoning him out of habit, but she forgot that Nanfeng was no longer afraid of poison.
Nanfeng took the glutinous rice and took a bite. It still tasted the same as before, very distant and familiar.
Seeing Nan Feng leisurely and fascinated, Zhuge Chanjuan was very worried, "Even if you try your best, you may not be able to win. If you continue to be merciful, you will definitely lose."
Nanfeng nodded, "I know. In fact, they sent gifts not to ask me to show mercy, but because I have an old relationship with them and they are not pretending not to know that you and I are getting married."
"If they didn't have this intention, they wouldn't have sent snacks. This is obviously to arouse your nostalgia." Zhuge Chanjuan said.
Nanfeng did not refute, what Zhuge Chanjuan said was not unreasonable, and everyone in Taiqing naturally knew that they should not ask him to show mercy, but the matter was so important that they still hoped that he would take care of his old relationship and not do anything too extreme.
"Let's go, don't eat. There are too many people here, so go back to Jue Tianling." Zhuge Chanjuan urged.
Nan Feng stuffed the glutinous rice into his mouth and closed the food box.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard the sound of wind outside. He opened the door to check and saw a young woman dressed as a warrior standing in the courtyard. She was bare-handed and did not hold a weapon. Her complexion was light purple and she was a mountain cultivator.
Nanfeng had seen this person before in the Shangqing Sect, but at that time he was wearing a Shangqing Taoist robe instead of a warrior Qingshang. Naturally, he changed his clothes this time to hide his identity.
Kun Dao also recognized Nanfeng. When he opened the door, he bowed his head and said, "Master."
"Zhenren." Nanfeng Ji bowed his head in return. Any Taoist who lives above the mountain can be respectfully called Zhenren.
"I am very happy. After hearing the news, the master of the family sent me a special gift to send you a congratulatory gift." After saying this, young Kun took out a small bag from his sleeve, stepped forward and delivered it with both hands.
Nanfeng took it and thanked him.
Voices were heard not far away. The young Kun Dao avoided everyone and didn't wait too long. He cast his body skills and left quickly.
After Kun Dao left, Nanfeng returned to the room and closed the door.
"What about the front and back legs? Was it discussed in advance?" Zhuge Chanjuan came over.
"No, there are many people during the day, so it's not convenient for them to show up." Nanfeng put the small cloth bag on the table.
"What?" Zhuge Chanjuan took the cloth bag and untied it, "Why do these beautiful bracelets and hairpins look so familiar?"
"This is Yan Feixue's belongings." Nanfeng sighed.
Zhuge Chanjuan suddenly realized after hearing this, but then she frowned. Women's belongings are usually not given away, except for their lover, but she knew that although Yan Feixue and Nanfeng had a good relationship, they were not between men and women. Love, this cannot explain why Yan Feixue gave her jewelry to the two of them as a congratulatory gift.
Zhuge Chanjuan had been living in Juetian Ridge before and was unaware of some things. Seeing her confusion, Nanfeng told her about Yan Feixue's fate.
After listening to Nanfeng's talk, Zhuge Chanjuan suddenly understood, "She took off her accessories and gave them to you as a gift. Does she mean to care for you?"
"Probably." Nanfeng nodded. Yan Feixue was a fierce person and would not be coerced by others. The gift of personal accessories this time actually showed her attitude. She did not want to be his enemy. When the day came, she would only He can be liberated by death, but he hopes that after his death, he can treat the Shangqing Sect kindly and protect him.
"Yan Feixue is kind to you, so you must try to protect her." Zhuge Chanjuan said. Before Nanfeng gained power, Yan Feixue helped him a lot. Not only did she give him the Heavenly Book, but she also gave him all the many domineering spells of the Shangqing Sect.
"Do your best." Nanfeng nodded. He had previously asked Lu Pingchuan to bring a letter to Yan Feixue, confidently urging her to put down her worries, put down her burdens, and cherish the people in front of her. In fact, this was indirectly telling Yan Feixue that he Judging from the time, Lu Pingchuan should have arrived at the Shangqing Sect long ago. In other words, Yan Feixue had already read his letter when she sent the gift, but she did not listen to him. Instead of persuading and making arrangements, he chose another path.
Knowing that these were Yan Feixue's belongings, Zhuge Chanjuan naturally couldn't take them, so she wrapped the pieces of jewelry and stored them properly, only to return them to Yan Feixue after the battle.
When the preparations were complete, Nanfeng extended his spiritual energy and entrusted Zhuge Chanjuan to return to Juetian Ridge.
Zhuge Chanjuan lit a fire in the house and packed her things. Nanfeng took the water prepared earlier and fed it to the eighth master.
"It's too cold here, you'd better follow me back to Chang'an." Nanfeng said.
"I'm not going." Zhuge Chanjuan said from the room.
"You don't even have anyone to talk to here." Nanfeng said again. Compared with the bustle of Chang'an, this place is very deserted. There is no human habitation for hundreds of miles.
"If you are afraid that I will be lonely, please come back more often." Zhuge Chanjuan said.
"Okay," Nanfeng nodded, "I will come back to see you every day from now on."
"Don't do it. You come and go without a trace. I don't care if you scare me every day, but your daughter can't stand it." Zhuge Chanjuan said with a smile.
Nan Feng secretly curled his lips, she didn't have a daughter yet, Zhuge Chanjuan had already made trouble with her daughter, if she gave birth to her, she would probably do a lot of things to coerce the emperor and order the princes.
After feeding the eighth master, Nanfeng was not in a hurry to go back. He helped Zhuge Chanjuan clean up and strengthened the spiritual energy barrier before teleporting back.
He did not go back to the post house, but returned to another hospital. Yuan Anning was sorting out the unusual clues recorded by the police officers with the help of Chang Le and Chu Huairou. Although the work was heavy, the sorting was not difficult. There was little nonsense, but the hearsay Most of them, the common ones that cause sleep disturbances are directly eliminated, and those that cannot transform into humans are also eliminated.
Chu Huairou delivered it, Yuan Anning recited it, and Changle identified it. Back then, in order to practice martial arts, he had traveled to various places and had seen a lot.
After Nanfeng came back, he sent the three of them to rest. He read them one by one. He knew more, saw more accurately, and was faster.
At the fifth watch, Nanfeng stopped. Hundreds of people who were selected for yesterday's primary election were still in the post house. The top priority was to screen them first. Only by selecting the available people would we know what was missing, and we could be more targeted in our search.
The fat man cannot carry out the re-screening. He has to personally check it. It is better to try the skills first, and still start from the cave god, select the best from the best, and keep one out of ten.
Busy from morning to evening, the selection was finally completed, leaving less than a hundred people. These people all possess special skills. If they are aliens, they have very special abilities.
Naturally, all of these people cannot be retained, but the next thing to be selected is not skills and abilities, but moral character. The position of Da Luo Jinxian must not fall into the hands of people with evil intentions...
