Nanfeng didn't stay in front of his house for long. After seeing the scene in the house, he turned around and left.
Back on the road in the mountains, Nanfeng met several Taoists who had started with him. They greeted him, and he responded with a smile, and then went to class with them to listen to the scriptures.
While listening to the scriptures, I yawned all day long. During the break, I skipped class and left early. I took a small road to the town at the foot of the mountain. I bought wine and meat and went to the secular affairs hall to drink with some old friends. I played until nightfall before returning to my residence.
After closing the door and lying on the bed, Nanfeng was finally relieved. He had been acting all afternoon, pretending to be very hard.
The figure he met last night accidentally broke a porcelain bottle. He didn't find the pieces of the porcelain bottle, but he touched the medicinal gas in his hand. Although he had never seen the man's appearance clearly, he was sure that the man was not Tianqizi. Tianqizi was very short, and the man was at least three inches taller than Tianqizi.
Last night, this person sneaked to Tianqizi's residence. Today, he found several medicine bottles in Tianqizi's room, and the things in the room had been moved. Even a fool would know what this person did last night.
There is only one reason for this person to do this, and that is to stabilize him by changing the positions of things in the room to make him mistakenly think that Tianqizi has returned.
If Tianqizi would come back, the other party would not have to do this, and would not dare to do it. If the other party dares to do this, it means that they know that Tianqizi will not come back again.
It can be seen that something has happened to Tianqizi, and those who knew that Tianqizi was in trouble and tried to stabilize him were the murderers. The last time he saw things in Tianqizi's room moved, it was naturally the other party's doing, which meant that something had happened to Tianqizi many days ago.
Tianqizi was his only hope, and now this only hope was shattered, and he became completely alone.
In fact, he had already thought of this when he discovered that the porcelain bottle appeared in the room. He instinctively wanted to escape. The reason why he did not run away, but pretended to be as if nothing had happened, was to stabilize the enemy. If the enemy found out that he had gone to Tianqizi, He looked panicked after he got to the residence, and he would immediately become suspicious. Now that he had no helpers, as long as the other party became suspicious, he would probably be arrested immediately.
The feeling of being isolated and helpless was terrible, but what frightened Nanfeng even more was the cunning and insidiousness of the other party. Tian Yuanzi was much smarter than him. He still couldn't escape the other party's design and frame-up back then. He was able to discover the other party's conspiracy because of luck. In terms of strategy, he is no match for him. Sooner or later something will happen if he stays on the mountain, and he will not know how he died in the end.
At the second watch, Nanfeng sat up quietly. He couldn't help it and wanted to escape overnight.
But after thinking about it, he lay down again and couldn't run. If he ran, he would be caught soon.
At the third watch, Nanfeng sat up again. He still wanted to run. At worst, he could go to the mountains. Even if he was with tigers, leopards and wolves, it would be better than dealing with an insidious opponent. The tactics used by the opponent could be called a conspiracy. It was really unbelievable. , he had never thought before that a person's mind could be so smart, so interconnected, that it could lead a person into a trap without even realizing it.
But after sitting for a while and lying down again, he had seen through the other party's conspiracy, and staying here was the safest, at least for now.
You can't sit still and wait for death if you stay in the tiger's den or the dragon's pond. You have to do something, otherwise the meaning of adventure will be lost.
What Tian Yuanzi went through back then has been kept secret by the senior officials of the Taiqing Sect. The people below know very little. It is impossible to find out the truth and clear Tian Yuanzi's grievances at this time. The only thing that can be done is to strive for the conferment of Taixuan. As long as the conferment of Taixuan is granted, the obstacles on the path of cultivation will be completely cleared.
At the fourth watch, Nanfeng fell asleep in a daze. At the fifth watch, the morning bell rang, and Nanfeng suddenly woke up. After waking up, his first thought was to leave here. The people here frightened him, and he would stay here forever. He was on tenterhooks and was in danger of being caught at any time. He was not afraid of being killed by the other party, but he was afraid that the other party would torture him in various ways and make his life worse than death.
Nanfeng did not run away, nor did he go to do morning exercises. He lay back down again. He once again felt the endless loneliness and intense helplessness. He really wanted to cry without tears. He longed for someone to help him at this time, but He also knew very well that no one would come to his aid.
During breakfast, Nanfeng lagged behind everyone. He didn't want to eat, but he didn't dare not to go. If he didn't go, the other party would probably become suspicious. But when he went, he was worried that the other party would notice that he didn't sleep last night based on the tired look on his face, and would become suspicious again. He didn't know if his worries were unnecessary, but at this time he had become frightened, even to the point where everything was in panic.
He continued to listen to the scriptures in the morning. He had not slept well last night and was very sleepy. However, he did not dare to sleep in class or even yawn. He did not know whether the new Taoist priests around him had any spying on each other, in case someone caught him yawning. , the other party is likely to become suspicious again.
After two days of this, Nanfeng was exhausted mentally and physically, overwhelmed, and finally fell ill. Even if he was ill, he did not dare to go to the doctor for help. He could only stay in bed and force himself to endure it, but he remained in bed and worried about the other party. Feeling suspicious, he could only go to listen to the scriptures, and finally fainted in class.
After waking up, Nanfeng found the woman lying in his room, and Cao Meng was sitting on the bed and dozing off.
When Nanfeng saw Cao Meng, Nanfeng's first thought was whether Cao Meng had been bribed by the other party and whether he was here to monitor him.
Seeing that he woke up, Cao Meng began to greet him with concern, brought medicine and poured water. The bowl of medicine was very pungent. Nanfeng was worried that the other party had poisoned the medicine. He did not dare to eat the food that Cao Meng brought, but he was afraid if he did not eat it. When the other party learned that he was suspicious, he became so anxious that his condition became more and more serious, and finally he became bedridden.
Lingyanzi came and replaced Cao Meng. He greeted him and waited on him at the bedside.
Nanfeng didn't say anything at first. He had already prepared for the worst, but then he saw Lingyanzi working tirelessly to accompany her day and night. His heart stirred up again, and he held Lingyanzi's hand when she was delivering water.
"Nanfeng, are you feeling better?" Lingyanzi asked with concern.
Nanfeng didn't answer, just looked directly at Lingyanzi.
"Huh?" Lingyanzi shook his head in confusion.
"Senior sister, I'm hungry." Nan Feng said insincerely, but what he wanted to say most in his heart was, 'Why did you lie to me? '
"Okay, just wait a moment and I'll bring you some porridge." Lingyanzi stood up and went out.
Watching Lingyanzi go out, Nanfeng withdrew his gaze. He had previously wanted to use Lingyanzi to delay time and wait until the ninth day of September to receive the Taixuan award, but he had given up this idea at this time and wanted to learn from the Taixuan Scripture. It is not easy to realize the peerless martial arts. Don't expect to realize it when you are anxious and nervous. There is no point in staying in the mountains. He thought of a way to prevent the other party from chasing him. He has already made a decision. After that, leave Taiqing Sect immediately.
Heart diseases also need to be treated with heart medicine. Make up your mind and be light-hearted. The condition will improve quickly and be completely cured after five days.
Today is the New Year's Day, and the mountains are decorated with lanterns and colors, and the atmosphere is filled with joy. Nanfeng, who is shut up in his room, picks up a pen and writes, thirty-two lines of the Taixuan Sutra, divided into two, one, three, five, seven, nine, two, four, six, and eighty. Jump writing.
After writing, he wrote two more letters, one to the two elders of the Xuan generation, "The Taixuan True Scripture was originally from Taiqing, so it was left to Taiqing. The scriptures were divided into two, and one of them was written by Cao Meng. Send it on your behalf. Erjiao and Lingyanzi passed it on, and the scriptures were written in leaps and bounds. The person who sent it on your behalf must not be mysterious, and there is no need to silence and hurt others. Today, twelve years later, I will go to Taiqing again to ask for my return from Master Tian Yuanzi. It's fair. Before leaving the mountain, all arrangements have been made for the posthumous affairs. If any of my ancestors or friends are harmed, or if they are under surveillance or pursued, the Three Sutras of Yuan Taixuan of Jushan Cave will be disclosed to the public."
The second letter was written to Ling Yanzi, "The Taixuan Sutra is divided into two parts. One of them will be transferred by you to the two elders of the Xuan generation. The second one has been handed over by Cao Meng first. If I sincerely agree with you, I will definitely live up to you." , how can you deceive me with false intentions?"
The two letters and the paper with scriptures were each put into paper envelopes and sealed with wax tears. The letter written to Lingyanzi was placed under the quilt, and the letter written to Cao Meng was carried with him.
Find Cao Meng, lead him to a secluded place, give him a letter, and ask him to deliver it at the right time.
Cao Meng didn't know the reason and asked suspiciously. Nan Feng said that this matter was of great importance and he must not deviate from it, let alone read it privately. Cao Meng was honest and loyal, so he nodded in agreement.
Nanfeng went to Dongshan, took the tortoise shell and put it close to his body. He went back to the mountain and invited Lingyanzi to go down the mountain to play. Naturally, Lingyanzi would not refuse and went with Nanfeng.
As soon as the worry was over, all the dark clouds in Nanfeng's heart disappeared. There was only this he could do. He could only hand over the Taixuan Sutra, otherwise the other party would never let him go. He can see through the other party's plot, so the other party does not dare to underestimate him. If he wants to kill him, he will have to bear the risk of making the mysterious scriptures public. And he has also stated that he will come back in twelve years. The other party can wait until then to kill him and silence him. .
Before going down the mountain, he didn't say goodbye to anyone, and he didn't take anything with him except his personal belongings. This was done so as not to disturb others.
The town was very lively. Nanfeng was shopping with Lingyanzi. He had gold and silver on his body and bought a lot of women's things to give to Lingyanzi. Lingyanzi smiled like a flower, but he didn't know if she was really happy in her heart.
Unknowingly, the sun was setting in the west. Seeing that the time agreed with Cao Meng was approaching, Nanfeng stopped and tilted his head to look at Lingyanzi.
"What do you want me to do?" Lingyanzi asked with a smile.
"Senior sister, what is your lay name?" Nanfeng asked.
"Sun's Luoyan." Lingyanzi replied.
"Hmm, senior sister, wait for me here. I need to pee." Nanfeng stretched out his hand and pointed eastward.
"Go quickly, go quickly, it's getting late, we should go back." Lingyanzi urged with a wave of his hand.
Nanfeng smiled at Lingyanzi, turned around and walked eastward. When he arrived at the edge of the town, he found a shopkeeper and gave him two coins. He asked him to go to where Lingyanzi was waiting to send a message. He only said that he had met a friend. He was looking for a place to have a drink, so he prepared a gift for her in advance, placed it under his quilt, and asked her to go back to the mountain to get it.
As night falls, the cold wind rises again, and the south wind leaves alone, just like it came alone last winter...
