Every few days, Nanfeng would go around the house where Tianqizi lived, but every time he saw the same thing, the door was closed and there was a padlock on the door.
In addition to doing homework in the morning and evening and listening to the scriptures, Nanfeng has never slackened in studying the scriptures. He has no teacher and cannot understand the magic. He can only place his hope in martial arts. The next September will be the Sanqing Dharma Assembly. If he can do it in Sanqing If you understand the domineering martial arts before the Dharma Assembly is held, you may be able to break out of the siege at the Sanqing Dharma Assembly and be awarded Taixuan. This was also the intention revealed by Tianqizi when they met him for the last time. However, Tianqizi had been away for a long time and could not return. He can only comprehend on his own without guidance and guidance from others.
The first six scriptures can be taught by Taoists in the mountains. To understand the domineering martial arts, one can only start with the three scriptures of Jushan, Dongyuan and Taixuan. And the direct disciples of the masters of Jushan scripture and Dongyuan scripture can also If they can be taught, during the Sanqing Dharma Assembly, those who can participate in the martial arts competitions are all the direct disciples of the master. Jushan and Dongyuan Sutras contain martial arts that they have gained through their understanding. Now they can only place their hope on Taixuanzhen. through.
The winner of the Three Purities Dharma Conference can directly teach Taixuan. The three sect masters naturally know this. Therefore, they will not determine the candidate for the next master before the end of the Sanqing Dharma Assembly competition to avoid the consequences of their decision. It’s an awkward situation where the winner of the fight is not one person. Since the candidate for the next headmaster has not been determined, the Taixuan True Scripture will not be taught to any of his direct disciples. This means that except for him, all the other direct disciples of the headmaster do not know the Taixuan True Scripture of the sect at this time.
The Taixuan Sutra is the secret knowledge of each sect. It is profound and mysterious, and extremely difficult to understand. Nanfeng uses the Dongshen, Gaoxuan, and Shengxuan Sutras as the cornerstone, and uses the Dongxuan, Sandong, and Dadong Sutras as the ladder. , with evidence from the debate on the two scriptures of Jushan and Dongyuan, and struggled to understand the Taixuan scripture.
But some things cannot be achieved by hard work alone. As time goes by, the sun rises and the moon sets, and another half moon passes in the blink of an eye. Nan Feng has made no progress in his research and understanding. Nan Feng is anxious and distressed. This feeling is like hunger. People hold food baskets, knowing that there is food in them but not knowing how to take it out.
As the new year is approaching, people on the mountain begin to prepare things for the festival. The imperial court also sends imperial envoys to deliver a large number of rewards. Each Taoist received a generous gift of three taels of silver.
Years ago, Lingyanzi disappeared for a few days. The night after he came back, he knocked on Nanfeng's door with some pastries.
Lingyanzi brought several exquisite pastries with fine workmanship and good materials.
Sending snacks was just a pretense. After sitting down, Lingyanzi told Nanfeng the news that her uncle, the current emperor, wanted to arrange a marriage for her and let her marry the eldest son of the current general Shenwei, but she did not I like this marriage because the eldest son of General Shenwei is a rough warrior, very fat and vulgar.
Knowing that the other party was a vulgar fat man, Lingyanzi wanted to refuse, but he did not dare to disobey the will, so he could only put off the matter temporarily for consideration.
After listening to Lingyanzi's narration, Nanfeng frowned and lowered his head, and did not answer immediately. He only found out today that Lingyanzi was the daughter of the princess. As for the marriage granted by the emperor, he could not verify it, but he felt that it was unlikely. Lingyan Zi thought that he liked her very much, and this was a way of motivating him to move forward, bringing the two of them closer together again.
"Senior sister, I..." Nanfeng hesitated to speak.
Lingyanzi tilted his head to look at him, waiting for him to continue.
But Nanfeng didn't say anything. He only spoke before to buy time to think about how to deal with it. Not to mention that Tianmingzi didn't officially accept him as a disciple. Even if he accepted him, he was just a direct disciple of the headmaster, and his weight was not enough. The only way to prevent Lingyanzi from marrying Fat Wufu is to tell the truth that he possesses the Taixuan Sutra, and this is Lingyanzi's ultimate goal.
"Senior sister, don't marry him." Nanfeng whispered.
"Well, the emperor has made up his mind. I'm afraid it will be difficult to change this matter. If the imperial edict is issued, I will leave the mountain and return home soon." Lingyanzi stood up, "Nanfeng, you need to take more care."
"Senior sister, please wait for me for a few years and then marry me." Nanfeng reached out and held Lingyanzi. Although he didn't mean what he said, his heartbeat was nervous.
"Alas." Lingyanzi did not throw away his hand, but sighed again.
"Senior sister, if I become the head of the Taiqing Sect in the future, can you marry me?" Nanfeng asked.
Lingyanzi shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Uncle Master Teacher has eight direct disciples. It is unknown who will succeed him."
Nanfeng didn't answer. He quickly walked to the door, opened the door and looked around, then closed the door and returned to the table, "Senior sister, do you know Tian Yuanzi?"
"Zhenren Tianyuan was originally a disciple of the former headmaster. He was still in the mountain when I entered the mountain. Later, he disappeared. I heard that he violated the sect rules and drove himself out of the mountain. Why do you ask about this person?" Lingyanzi asked in confusion. .
"He was framed. He is my master. He has passed on all nine scriptures of the Taiqing Sect to me. Now the Taixuan scriptures of the Taiqing Sect have been lost and only I know about it." Nanfeng whispered.
Lingyanzi looked horrified when he heard this. He looked directly at the south wind and remained silent for a long time.
Nanfeng continued, "Last winter, my master and I were in the Western Wei Dynasty. I wanted to return to Liang Kingdom, but I met Lin Zhendong on the way. Lin Zhendong discovered the identity of the master and tried every means to interrogate the Taixuan Scripture. The master would rather die than obey, and finally ended up with Lin Zhendong. Lin Zhendong perished. Before his death, my master taught me the nine scriptures and asked me to rush to Taiqing Mountain to find Master Xuanzhen's uncle and ask him to help me ascend to the throne. But when I came to Taiqing Mountain, my uncle was already dead."
Lingyanzi pulled Nanfeng to the corner and asked in a low voice, "Is what you said true?"
Nanfeng nodded heavily, "Senior sister, wait for me for a few years. When I become the head master, I will marry you."
"Who else knows about this?" Ling Yanzi asked.
"There are also a few old masters. They are all good friends of the master and are willing to help me succeed to the throne." Nanfeng hugged Lingyanzi and said, "Senior sister, don't marry anyone else."
Nanfeng raised and lowered his hands while speaking. He really liked Lingyanzi before, but now he only felt resentful towards Lingyanzi. Lingyanzi took advantage of his sincerity and deceived him, causing him to have one of his teeth knocked out. , If you don’t touch it, you won’t touch it. If you take advantage, you can relieve your anger.
Lingyanzi didn't seem to expect Nanfeng to be so bold, and subconsciously pushed him away, but Nanfeng rushed up again.
"I promise you, don't be impatient and speak properly." Lingyanzi said.
Nanfeng was not willing to let it go. He didn't want to talk too much with Lingyanzi. Mistakes would easily occur if they talked too much, so he simply pretended to be impatient to scare her away.
Seeing Nanfeng tugging on her belt, Lingyanzi panicked, "Don't be reckless. I'll go back first and come back to talk to you another day."
Nanfeng didn't let her leave calmly, and grabbed a handful from behind before leaving.
Lingyanzi opened the door and left as if he was running away. Nanfeng did not chase him out. He watched Lingyanzi leave before closing the door. In addition to revenge and self-interest, his previous actions had another effect, that is, delaying time. Next time You have to act like a hooligan when you see Lingyanzi. You have to make Lingyanzi afraid and minimize your contact with him.
Furthermore, Lingyanzi must also know that a few good words alone cannot deceive the Taixuan Zhenjing. If you want the Taixuan Zhenjing, you have to pay a price, and Lingyanzi definitely does not want to pay this price. , you can delay the time to the maximum extent.
Even though the element of revenge was mostly involved, Nanfeng still had some reaction to the random scratching. His face turned red, his heartbeat accelerated, and he drank all the herbal tea in the pot in one go, but still no relief.
After sitting in the room for a while, Nanfeng got up and went out, sneaking from the darkness to the courtyard where Lingyanzi lived. At this time, everyone in the courtyard had turned off the lights and rested. Lingyanzi's door was not locked, but Lingyanzi was not in the room. .
Nanfeng never entered the room, closed the door and turned around to leave. He came here not to seek sexual pleasure, but to check whether Lingyanzi was in the room. As expected, Lingyanzi was not there. It was obvious that he was going to meet Tian Naruko and others reported it.
There are many Taoist priests in the Lower Hall, and the Taoist priests who confer urn and the Taoist who have not given urn live in two separate places. From the courtyard where Lingyanzi lives to the courtyard where Nanfeng lives, one needs to pass through the main road up the mountain. Just when Nanfeng is about to walk on the main road, There was a crisp sound on the main road. Nanfeng stopped when he heard the sound and turned his head to look through the cover of the trees. He saw a black figure squatting on the side of the road to pick something up.
After a while, the shadow stood up, looked around and then walked along the west path towards the house where Tianqizi lived.
Although Nanfeng had doubts in his heart, he did not dare to follow him. The black figure lowered his head to pick up objects, indicating that he could see at night. He could easily be seen by the other party if he followed.
Nanfeng was unwilling to leave like this, so he squatted where he was and waited patiently.
Not long after, the shadow returned from the path, straightened up after reaching the main road, and went up the mountain.
Because it was too dark, Nanfeng never saw the other party's appearance clearly. He waited until the other party left before he came out of the darkness and went to the place where the shadow had picked up the object and groped with his hands.
After groping for a long time, he couldn't find anything, but there was a faint medicinal smell around it. The thing that was broken before was probably a porcelain bottle containing medicine.
Nanfeng didn't sleep well that night. The trail previously only led to Tianqizi's residence. The black shadow went there furtively, probably not doing anything good.
When he got up early the next day, the sky was dark, so Nanfeng resisted not going to check, and waited patiently until no one was around in the afternoon before he came to Tianqi's house. The door was still closed and the door was still padlocked.
Peeking in through the holes in the window paper, I saw a few things in the room moved. The green robe that was originally hung on the bedside disappeared. The bundle was tied up and placed on the bedside. There were several bags next to it. A thin-necked medicine bottle with a red cloth cork...
