Chapter 419: Chapter 419 Protection
Luo Yuheng's expression was cold, as if he was telling a trivial matter: "I gave a talisman to Chu Yuanzhen."
After saying that, he half-closed his eyes and stopped explaining. His attitude was just right.
It was given to Chu Yuanzhen...... Emperor Yuan Jing's face was slightly relieved. In this case, who used the talisman to summon the national teacher was not the key.
However, Emperor Yuan Jing did not completely dispel his suspicion. He said in a deep voice:
"National teacher, although you and the Earth Sect are fellow disciples, you are also the national teacher of Dafeng. The Human Sect is the state religion of Dafeng. You knew that I sent people to fight for the lotus seeds, but you still..."
He showed a bit of anger.
Facing Emperor Yuan Jing's questioning, Luo Yuheng was silent for a moment, and suddenly sighed:
"To be honest, the Earth Sect has had an accident in recent years. The head of the Earth Sect was entangled in karma and fell into the devil's way, affecting most of the disciples.
"Only a very small number of disciples were not affected for some reasons. This group of escaped disciples formed an organization called Tiandihui. They rested and recuperated in secret, accumulated strength, and tried to clean up the sect.
"The nine-color lotus seeds are very important to them. A while ago, the people of Tiandihui asked Chu Yuanzhen to contact me, hoping that I could help.
"It is our consensus to keep the incense of the three sects going. Even the Tianzong, who is too forgetful, has the same idea."
After a pause, Luo Yuheng stared at Emperor Yuan Jing, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't you know?"
This is the reason why she took action... The amulet was given to Chu Yuanzhen and had nothing to do with Xu Qi'an. Am I too sensitive? And Xu Qi'an's involvement in the matter of the nine-color lotus may be because he owed a favor to Chu Yuanzhen and Li Miaozhen. The two of them had tried to stop my imperial guards that day... Yuan Jingdi thought about it and shook his head without changing his expression:
"How did I know the secrets of the Dizong? "
The two men finished their conversation and meditated as usual. Then, Luo Yuheng expounded the profound meaning of the Taoist scriptures and talked about the truth of longevity. Half an hour later, Emperor Yuan Jing left Lingbao Temple.
Returning to the bedroom, Emperor Yuan Jing drank the health tea served by the eunuch and ordered:
"Do two things: First, let Tianji check the origin of the monk and try to capture him alive. Second, summon Qin Yuandao, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, to the palace to see me."
The old eunuch nodded and asked tentatively: "I dare to ask how Your Majesty plans to deal with Xu Qi'an?"
He felt that most of the time, he would start with Xu Qi'an's second uncle, cousin or other family members.
Emperor Yuan Jing waved his hand: "It's just a dog of Wei Yuan. I have my own plans. "
If your majesty doesn't say it, it means he hasn't figured out how to deal with Xu Qi'an yet, or he doesn't have this idea for the time being... The old eunuch was a little confused. Before leaving the palace, he still looked gloomy as if he was going to destroy Xu Qi'an's nine clans.
But now he is calm and nonchalant.
.......
Damn!!!!
Xu Qi'an doesn't need to look in the mirror to know that his face is broken, collapsed, and dumbfounded...
Xu Qi'an has three secrets: time travel, luck, and divine.
He has been carefully hiding these three secrets. The first and current eunuchs are chess players and people involved in the incident. There is no way to hide them, and there is no need to hide them.
In addition, Xu Qi'an only revealed the matter of luck to the old man of the Wulin League. Two reasons: the movement of the Taiping Sword was too loud and could not be concealed; he wanted to cling to his thighs to increase his capital for resistance.
As for Wei Yuan, Xu Qi'an trusted him, but because he couldn't see through this wise and profound patriot, he didn't dare to be frank.
Unexpectedly, Wei Yuan actually knew that the monk Shenshu was in his body.
"Mr. Wei...how did you know?" Xu Qi'an's voice was a little hoarse.
Wei Yuan said lightly: "Let's roll the dice first."
Xu Qi'an smiled bitterly and said: "There is no need to roll the dice."
It was indeed unnecessary. Wei Yuan did not ask for information from the first generation of supervisors, but asked about the seal under Sangpo. This was to tell him that I know all your secrets.
Just play your cards straight.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Qi'an said: "When I was in Jianzhou, I met a young man named Ji Qian. We had a conflict and I killed him. After asking the spirit, I found that he was originally a royal lineage from five hundred years ago. After Emperor Wuzong cleared the court, they were saved by the first generation of supervisors and have been dormant ever since.
"The Battle of Shanhaiguan was instigated by the first generation of the Supervisor and the leader of the Tiangu tribe. The purpose was to steal the national destiny of Dafeng, and then support the lineage of five hundred years ago to ascend the throne again.
"They have been hiding in a place called Xuzhou. I suspect that it is a lawless place that is out of the control of the court..."
He recounted the process of asking the spirits, temporarily concealing the fact that he was carrying the destiny.
Wei Yuan listened silently and said slowly: "So, the first generation of the Supervisor united with the barbarians to deal with the King of Zhenbei. Next, is it my turn?"
Xu Qi'an was convinced: "Yes."
Wei Yuan sighed: "The first generation of the Supervisor is not dead, which is beyond my expectation. You reminded me that when Emperor Wuzong seized the throne, he secretly sent his confidants to search for something all over the world. He did not hesitate to set sail for this. This incident is not recorded in the official history, but was written in a biography by a great scholar. "
"The first generation has been patient for so long, firstly because he has not eliminated the King of Zhenbei and me, and secondly because he cannot take back the luck in your body for the time being... Hey, why are you crawling under the table?"
Wei Yuan asked with a half-smile.
"I'm looking for Lord Wei's legs, let me hug them for a while..."
Xu Qiyan made jokes to cover up the emotional fluctuations in his heart.
Knock knock! Wei Yuan knocked on the table and said in a deep voice: "Come out!"
Xu Qiyan crawled out from under the table and sat upright: "Lord Wei, you know everything, you know everything."
Wei Yuan sighed:
"You are the one I like. I will carefully investigate and monitor anyone I want to train. Your extraordinary cultivation speed, the favor of the Supervisor, the attitude of the Spirit Dragon towards you, the appearance of the Confucian carving knife during the Buddhist battle, the appearance of the carving knife when killing the Lord of the Guard, well, isn't it also proof that you keep shaking the full dice? There are many more, too many flaws in you. These scattered intelligences are nothing if taken separately.
"But I know you too well. All the clues are pieced together, combined with some secrets I already know, and a simple review can guess most of them.
"When you won the battle between heaven and man, you came to ask me about the details of the Battle of Shanhaiguan. I once asked you if you had anything else to say. I thought you would be honest with me, but you chose to hide it."
Xu Qian'an opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but felt it was unnecessary. He said with a little frustration: "What about the sealed object under Sangpo?"
"The Buddhist battle also exposed the fact that you have good luck and the fact that you are carrying a sealed object. Of course, this alone is not enough, there must be other evidence, such as how you killed the leader of the fourth-rank barbarian tribe and snatched the princess when you went north? "
Wei Yuan sneered: "Since I know that you are blessed with good fortune, then there is no need to guess who the mysterious master in Jianzhou who can use the Zhenguo Sword is. In fact, before I went north, I was not sure that the "sealed object" was on you.
"You are good at hiding it. Do you trust the Supervisor and the Buddhist heretic so much?"
Xu Qian'an shook his head: "The Supervisor is a god. It doesn't matter whether I believe him or not. As for the sealed object, his Dharma name is Shenshu. I promised him to keep it secret."
He also told him about the agreement with Shenshu: to find Shenshu's past.
Wei Yuan pondered and said: "The Supervisor acquiesced to the demon clan to unlock the seal of Sangpo. It is estimated that it was planned for you to use him to intimidate the first generation. As long as that Shenshu is in your body, the first generation dare not touch you. If nothing unexpected happens, he is now actively looking for a way to crack it.
"I have some guesses about the identity of this Buddhist heretic. Most of them are related to the Wan Yao Kingdom and the Jiazi Demon Sweeping. In the future, when you travel far away from home, you can go to the Ten Thousand Mountains in southern Xinjiang to find the truth. "
Ah? Shenshu is related to the Jiazi Demon-Slaying Campaign of the year? This is something Xu Qian'an had not expected.
"So, how does Duke Wei plan to deal with me?" Xu Qian'an asked tentatively.
After that, he stared at Wei Yuan, afraid to see the murderous intent in his eyes.
"I would like to kill you, if I can." Wei Yuan put his hands in his sleeves, lowered his eyes, looked at the table, and said in a low and gentle voice:
"You are caught between two generations of supervisors and don't know what to do, so just confess to me that your purpose is to take a chance and get my protection."
Hit the nail on the head!
Xu Qian'an was a little ashamed, he really thought so.
"If you want to ask whether the Supervisor is trustworthy, I can't give you an answer, because I don't know either. As for the first generation Supervisor, you don't have to be afraid. The one playing the game with him is the current Supervisor, and it's not you who makes moves and counters them. All you have to do now is to upgrade your rank and accumulate capital."
After a pause, Wei Yuan's eyes softened and he whispered, "I will help you."
Hearing this, Xu Qi'an was truly relieved and felt at ease.
He smiled and said, "Then I have something to ask Lord Wei."
Wei Yuan nodded.
Xu Qi'an said, "How to be promoted to the fourth rank."
Wei Yuan paused and said in astonishment, "You were promoted to the fifth rank?"
Xu Qi'an nodded.
Less than a year, the fifth rank transformation strength... Wei Yuan was stunned. After a long time, his pupils moved slightly, and he recovered and sighed:
"That's right. If you have great luck, you have hope of being promoted to the first rank. Unfortunately, you will have to follow the old path of Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Wuzong in the future. You may not know that luck is a double-edged sword."
"Those who have luck cannot live forever." Xu Qi'an said.
"You know a lot!" Wei Yuan had a complicated expression.
Lord Wei, you look like you are saying: Are you secretly taking extra classes without telling me?
Xu Qianan laughed.
"The fourth rank is a very important rank for a warrior. It determines the path you will take in the future. A person who is good at swords will comprehend the meaning of swords, and a person who is good at knives will comprehend the meaning of knives. It cannot be changed." Wei Yuan said:
"The core of the fourth rank lies in the word "intention". Intention can also be called Tao, the path that a warrior will take in the future. Therefore, the second rank of a warrior is also called the path of harmony. Xu Qiyan, have you thought about the path you want to take?"
Lord Wei, may I ask if there is a kind of intention in this world that is called freeloading...... Xu Qiyan tried to test: "Does it count as killing all the injustices in the world?"
"This is ambition!" Wei Yuan said unhappily: "You shout to everyone you meet: Kill all the injustices in the world! Then people will succumb to your ambition?"
"......"
"The so-called intention needs to rely on the violence of the warrior, or more precisely, the means of attack and killing. Swords, spears, swords, halberds, fists, etc. You use a knife, so it is naturally the intention of the knife."
"How to cultivate the intention of the knife?" Xu Qiyan humbly asked for advice.
"I've told you before that from the fifth rank onwards, everything needs to be understood! You have good talent and high understanding, and you can control yourself in a very short time and be promoted to the fifth rank. Some people are poorly gifted and cannot fully control their physical strength in their entire lives, and cannot be promoted.
"As for how to understand the sword's intention, all I can teach you is experience. First, you have to reach the state of unity between man and sword, in simple terms, to understand the mystery of the sword. This requires you to combine your own understanding of the sword. It takes time and effort.
"Secondly, you have to integrate your beliefs into the sword. The Heaven and Earth Sword Slash you practice is the belief of the person who created this technique." Wei Yuan taught earnestly.
Yes, my "Heaven and Earth Sword Slash" is a kind of sword's intention. The belief of that senior is: nothing can be cut off with a sword, and if there is, then run away.
"Mr. Wei, does it mean that I have already understood half of the sword's intention? Then can I add my own things to the basis of "Heaven and Earth Sword Slash". Make it my own "intention"?" Xu Qian'an was a little surprised.
"You are a teachable kid." Wei Yuan said with a smile.
At the end of the conversation, Wei Yuan suddenly said, "Do you remember the first time we met?"
"The time in the Stargazing Tower?" Xu Qiyan was not sure.
"Yeah!"
Wei Yuan nodded: "The song you sang at that time was very interesting. I still remember it... I stood in the fierce wind, wishing I could get rid of the endless heartache. Looking at the sky, the clouds moved in all directions, and with a sword in hand, I asked who is the hero in the world."
He hummed it very standardly.
"What's the sequel? I like this song very much." Wei Yuan said with a smile.
This, what I was most afraid of since I was a child was being invited to the podium by the teacher to sing in public... Xu Qiyan said, "Wait until Duke Wei tells me the story of you and the Queen in the future, and I will sing it for you again."
........
After leaving the night watchman's office, Xu Qiyan rode his beloved mare into the brothel, changed his appearance with potions in the brothel, and then rode the mare back on the road.
After walking around for a long time and confirming that no one was following him, he quietly knocked on the door of the outer room.
"Squeak~"
The door opened, and it was an old woman with a fat body.
"???"
Xu Qian'an had a string of questions in his mind. Where is my princess, the wife I stole with great effort, the most beautiful woman in Dafeng?
How did she become an old woman? !
"Who are you?"
The old woman stared at Xu Qian'an suspiciously, with a rather unfriendly look.
.....Xu Qian'an simplified his name and said, "My name is Xu Qian. Why is this aunt in my house?"
"Your house?"
The old woman looked even more suspicious and said, "Wait a minute!"
She turned around and went in without closing the door.
After about a cup of tea, the old maid rushed out with a broom in her hand, yelling:
"You ungrateful dog, you actually chased me here. The emperor's feet are not for dogs like you to run wild."
The old maid hit him with a broom, and Xu Qi'an lowered his head, dodged, and went into the yard.
The old maid screamed in anger and chased him and beat him.
The door of the main house opened, and the princess leaned against the door with a bowl of peanuts in her little hands, watching the show happily.
When the old maid saw her smiling face, she realized the trick, leaned on the broom, looked at Xu Qi'an in confusion, and then looked at the princess.
"I'm really her man."
Xu Qian'an explained, glanced at the young woman in plain cloth and a cheap jade hairpin on her head, walked over and knocked her on the head with a chestnut: "Is it fun?"
The widow of the King of Zhenbei, the most beautiful woman in Dafeng, was beaten and her face became cold again.
She stubbornly ignored him and just said softly: "Aunt Zhang, you go back first."
Aunt Zhang muttered a few words, leaned the broom against the wall, and walked out of the yard.
