Once he heard that it was a human being, or a martial artist with only red aura, the fat man's interest dropped sharply, and he stopped asking further questions.
After traveling several hundred miles eastward, Master Ba slowed down.
Zhuge Chanjuan knew that Nanfeng had ordered Ba Ye to slow down, so she tilted her head and looked at him.
Nan Feng pointed to the hill below and signaled Ba Ye to go there.
There is a small Taoist temple on that hill. The Taoist temple is very small, with only five rooms. At this time, there are many soldiers surrounding the Taoist temple. There are also soldiers inside the Taoist temple, driving away the Taoist priests inside.
As we got closer, the south wind drifted down and landed in front of the mountain gate.
Long before Nanfeng landed, the soldiers had already seen the three of them. Naturally, they also saw Ba Ye and Lao Bai. They knew that they were not ordinary people. When Nanfeng came, they did not dare to drive them away or ask questions. Reason, just looked at him doubtfully.
The door of the Taoist temple was open, and several soldiers were driving the Taoists inside out. A Taoist in his twenties recognized Nanfeng and shouted for help, "Sir, save us."
The young Taoist priest who asked for help had a very worn-out Taoist robe with many patches on it, and he had no spiritual energy. He stumbled under the push of the officers and soldiers. After shouting, he ran out of the door and pulled Nan Feng's clothes, "Sir , do you still remember me? It was me who opened the door for you when you first came here."
"Don't panic, I'll make the decision for you." Nanfeng nodded to the young Taoist, then waved to the captain who led the team, "Come here."
The captain originally wanted to come over, but when he saw Zhuge Chanjuan and Fatty flying up from the sky and landing next to Nanfeng, he was panicked and hesitated.
At this time, the Taoists in the courtyard also discovered Nanfeng and others. Zhuge Chanjuan and Nanfeng had been here before, and they all knew each other, so they gathered around to greet the three of them.
"When I was in office, I allocated a lot of land to you. How come your life is like this?" The fat man frowned and looked at the dilapidated Lin Yunguan.
"It's hard to explain. You two adults came just in time. I beg you to intercede with these officials and let us stay here." A middle-aged Taoist bowed to Fatty and Nanfeng repeatedly. At that time, the two of them were in charge of Yu County incognito. , only Brother Tianmu Tianxun knew about it. These Taoists did not know their true identities, so they were treated as adults.
Nanfeng nodded. Lin Yunguan only had four Taoists left at this time. Only one of them had the cultivation level of the Light Red Cave God. The other three probably couldn't even practice Qi.
After nodding, Nanfeng turned his attention to the school captain, "Go back and tell your county magistrate, and ask your county magistrate to write to the state government, and the state government will report it to the county government, and order the county government to report to the court, and ask Yuwen Yong to issue an order to preserve Lin Yunguan. , allocate taels of silver every year and treat them kindly."
After Nan Feng finished speaking, the captain was stunned. He was stunned not because Nan Feng called the emperor by his name, but because he hesitated whether to ask Nan Feng's name.
"Let's go." Nanfeng waved his hand to the captain.
The captain was still aware of the current affairs and did not waste any time. He waved his hand hastily and led the group of officers and soldiers to retreat eagerly.
"If you don't sign up, will they know who you are?" the fat man asked.
"They can tell us about our appearance and our mounts." Nanfeng said casually, then turned to speak kindly to several Taoists in Lin Yunguan.
Those Taoists saved the Taoist temple, were grateful to Nanfeng, and enthusiastically persuaded Nanfeng to stay. Nanfeng was not in a hurry to leave, so he followed them into the Taoist temple.
Although Linyunguan is located in Jiangbei, it is a branch of Taiqing. The Taiqing statue in the main hall had been pushed down and broken by the officers and soldiers before. In fact, it is not just here, but the statues in other Taoist temples and temples have also suffered the same fate. , Yu Wenyong destroyed the Buddha and chased the Tao. To put it bluntly, he wanted to weaken the divine power and strengthen his imperial power.
Nanfeng raised his hand to restore the statue, sat down on the throne again, took out three incense candles under the astonished gaze of everyone, and worshiped and offered incense. Then he went to the altar on the west wall to offer incense and pay homage to Tianmu and Tianxun.
It was already getting late, so several Taoist priests invited the three of them to stay overnight at the Taoist temple. Nanfeng politely declined. The Taoist priests also begged them to stay for dinner, and Nanfeng agreed.
Taiqing Taoist priests were allowed to eat meat, but the two old hens they kept in the backyard suffered a disaster. Several Taoist priests scraped together things and made three more vegetables. They tried their best to entertain them.
Nanfeng spent most of the time talking to a few Taoists and didn't use his chopsticks much. Zhuge Chanjuan and Fatty were full. They knew Nanfeng too well and knew that Nanfeng would not let them eat other people's meals in vain.
After the meal, Nanfeng left behind twenty taels of silver. The gold and silver could be rice to satisfy one's hunger, or it could be a source of disaster. Not everyone could afford such a huge sum of money as a gift.
In addition to the silver taels, there are also six volumes of scriptures left behind. These six volumes are naturally not heavenly books, but six scriptures written by Taiqing Zong under the mountain. If you have a rich family, it is better to have a skill by your side. The money can be spent without losing the skill. , always able to make ends meet.
After the meal, Nanfeng said goodbye and left. Several Taoists went out to say goodbye, thanked him profusely, and watched Nanfeng and others ride away.
"Being kind to others will bring blessings to future generations." Zhuge Chanjuan lamented that Nanfeng's preferential treatment of Lin Yunguan had nothing to do with these Taoists, but had friendship with their deceased elders.
"Yes, by saving the Taoist temple, we have an explanation for them." The fat man nodded.
Nanfeng didn't answer. Old Taoist Tianmu was plotted against him because he was trying to find out information for him. After he fell into a coma due to his overstepping of authority, Taoist Tianxun tried his best to deal with the aftermath. A man must not be ungrateful or ungrateful, otherwise it will chill the heart of the deceased. .
At the second watch, the three of them arrived at a city in the south of Gong County, and the Hongqi warrior was in the city.
The fat man had no interest in people, and when he knew it was a man, he was even less interested. He didn't want to go with Nan Feng. He just said he was tired and wanted to go to a hotel to sleep.
Nanfeng didn't force himself, so he accompanied him to find the inn. Since it was not very late, and it was located on the main north-south road, there were many pedestrians coming and going, and there were two tables of diners in the inn.
Among the two tables of diners, one was a drug dealer selling medicine for profit, and the other was a few warriors wearing Taoist robes. The reason why they were said to be warriors was because the Taoist robes they wore no longer had the Sanqing logo on them. This was naturally a sign of the imperial court. As a result of the extermination of Buddhism and the pursuit of Taoism, not many Taoist temples remained in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Except for the Yuqing Ancestral Court and a few Taoist temples, most Taoists were forced to return to secular life. Since they were not Taoists, they could only be regarded as warriors.
When the three of them entered the door, the warriors were talking, saying that Aunt Su Yin of Yuqing Sect was missing.
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. When the fat man was talking to the shopkeeper, Nanfeng kept listening to the words of the warriors. The reason why these warriors cared so much about Taoist Su Yin was because this person was born with stunning beauty. The most beautiful woman in Yuqingzong.
Seeing Nanfeng's expression was different, Zhuge Chanjuan asked in a low voice, "Do you recognize this person?"
Nan Feng nodded.
"You want a hero to save a beauty again?" Zhuge Chanjuan smiled.
Nanfeng didn't answer, just shook his head.
Seeing Nanfeng's seriousness, Zhuge Chanjuan guessed that there was another hidden meaning in this matter, "What's wrong?"
"Su Yinzi's family name is Yuan, and she is the sister with big eyes." Nanfeng said in a deep voice.
Zhuge Chanjuan frowned suddenly when she heard this. Although she was straightforward but not careless, Nanfeng could guess why Su Yinzi disappeared without Nanfeng saying much.
While the two were talking, the fat man kept talking to the shop owner and didn't pay attention to what the two were talking about. After paying the rent, he called the two to the backyard.
Nanfeng followed the fat man to the backyard. Zhuge Chanjuan did not go with him, but went to talk to the warriors at the table.
The two adjacent upper rooms are both heated by the heated kang, and the bedding is also very clean.
Not long after Nanfeng entered the room, Zhuge Chanjuan came back and whispered to Nanfeng, "She disappeared in the middle of last month. The time was right. She was in Dongxuan Danlan cultivation when she disappeared."
Nanfeng nodded slowly.
"What are you two talking about? Who is missing?" Fatty shouted from next door.
Nanfeng said, "You should rest early and let's go out."
"It's such a cold day, just go by yourself," the fat man said, "Zhuge, that warrior is a man, so don't follow him."
The fat man thought he was good at talking, but he unknowingly said that Zhuge Chanjuan was jealous. Even if it was the truth, Zhuge Chanjuan didn't want to hear it, so she didn't answer him and followed Nanfeng out of the inn through the back door.
After going out, the two walked to Dongcheng. Nanfeng didn't walk very fast. Zhuge Chanjuan followed beside him, and they didn't speak for a long time.
Zhuge Chanjuan knew that Nan Feng was thinking about Su Yinzi, and Nan Feng was indeed thinking about this matter. The ensuing fight was a three-party gambling battle, with the ninth level of Qi training plus the third level of immortality, a total of twelve levels, with one person at each level. , the opponent needs to select twenty-four people, whether in the underworld or in heaven, they will try to find those old friends with him. In these twelve competitions, the disadvantageous situation of throwing a rat into a trap is likely to appear many times.
Seeing that Nanfeng was worried, Zhuge Chanjuan tried to comfort him, "Maybe we are overly worried."
"You don't even believe this yourself." Nanfeng said casually.
"It's a good thing that you are an orphan and don't have any relatives, otherwise after these twelve battles, you will be alone." Zhuge Chanjuan joked with a wry smile.
"You think I'm not worried about this?" Nanfeng also smiled bitterly.
"Huh?" Zhuge Chanjuan was confused.
"It's not that the orphans have no parents, they just don't know who their parents are," Nanfeng shook his head and said, "Li Chaozong once mentioned this matter when he was alive. According to him, my parents are Han and foreigners respectively, which shows that he Know who my parents are.”
"Fortunately, Li Chaozong has been killed by you." Zhuge Chanjuan said.
"Killing him is useless," Nanfeng tilted his head and looked at Zhuge Chanjuan, "How could he, a mortal, know who my parents are? All this information was told to him by the gods."
"Since you are a god, you won't be so despicable as to end up like your parents." Zhuge Chanjuan frowned.
"Aren't they despicable?" Nanfeng asked, "You know all the things that happened before. They are not only despicable, they are simply shameless."
"They are so despicable and shameless, why do you still want to gamble with them?" Zhuge Chanjuan asked.
"You still have the nerve to say it. It's all your bad ideas. It's better now. Sin Tian's appeal has been sent out and the time has been set. I'm in a dilemma." Nanfeng glanced at Zhuge Chanjuan and saw Zhuge Chanjuan. Chanjuan looked ashamed and comforted, "Actually, we can't blame them for being mean and shameless. My appearance has seriously affected their status. When it doesn't concern them, everyone can maintain their grace. Once their own safety is endangered, Status and interests are different."
Zhuge Chanjuan nodded and said nothing.
Nanfeng didn't want Zhuge Chanjuan to worry, and comforted, "I just said casually, don't think too much, but in fact, there is no other way except gambling. We all have powerful supernatural powers, so we can only fight with each other. If Fighting by force is a melee between the three realms that will destroy the heaven and earth."
After Nanfeng finished speaking, he stopped and looked at a mansion on the north side of the road.
"The warrior you mentioned lives here?" Zhuge Chanjuan was a little confused. This house was very grand, with five floors of stairs and wide and high lintels. It looked like it belonged to a wealthy family.
"Yes, this person's name is Wen Zhao, he is a rich man..."
