Just after waking up this morning, a beggar found a body in the haystack on the corner of the street. He was so frightened that he hurriedly reported it to the police. Taiyue Prefecture Yin Song Zheng and head catcher Ji Changfeng led people to come for the autopsy.
I saw that this man was wearing black clothes and had no scars on his body. He was a monk. His heart was shattered and he died just now.
There was no way to trace the matter. It was difficult for the court to intervene in any fight between monks, so Song Zheng had no choice but to order someone to simply record the incident and then send the body to be buried outside the city.
Song Zheng rode on his horse and headed home with Ji Changfeng. But they were stopped halfway by a group of people.
The leader, wearing a blue official uniform, saluted Song Zheng and said: "Master Song, there is an order from the Ministry of Civil Affairs. I ordered my subordinates to accompany Master Song to capture the accomplices who committed the crime against Qu Yi. This is an order."
As he spoke, the official in blue stepped forward and handed a memorial to Song Zheng.
After Song Zheng looked at it, he nodded and said: "Since the officials have orders, lower officials should obey them. Please lead the way!"
"Your Majesty, take your orders."
The group of people left Taiyue City and went straight to the small town outside the city...
…
After waking up early, Ye Ling slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a breath, turned around and got out of bed.
He practiced hard all night, thinking of ways to breathe out spiritual energy and practice. It's a pity that after the Dantian is broken, it seems to have no foundation. Even if there is a vast ocean without vessels to contain it, it will eventually disappear.
However, after several efforts, Ye Ling was finally able to absorb the spiritual energy into his body and transform it into a little Tao power, urging him to check the treasures in the jasper finger.
There are also some spiritual stones, Taoist tools, and elixirs piled inside. The green roc bird has been sleeping since it sucked the moonlight in the ancient moon cave sky and never woke up.
Ye Ling didn't have any Kung Fu books in his hands, and the Tao Zang he had read didn't have a way to deal with the broken Dantian. Perhaps he will no longer be able to achieve immortality from now on and become an ordinary person.
Ye Ling tried his best to use his spiritual consciousness to enter the gate, but the sea of consciousness was already dark, and he couldn't see anything clearly, and there was no figure of the man in white.
Ye Ling sighed lightly. After all, most of the time, reality is the most difficult to accept.
Stepping out, Master Jiu strangely didn't sit on the lounge chair under the tree. Instead, he pressed a note on the table.
Ye Ling opened it and saw on it: "The escort office has something to do, I'll go discuss it."
After all, Master Jiu is an old man with prestige and seniority. It is normal for the escort agency to ask Master Jiu to make suggestions when encountering problems.
So, Ye Ling went out and wandered on the street.
There were not many pedestrians on the street, it was early in the morning, and it was not as prosperous as Taiyue City, but it seemed quiet.
When I came to the door of Jiuzhou Tea Shop, I saw people boiling water and preparing tea in the inner hall.
Ye Ling walked in and said with a smile, "Boss, do you still remember me?"
Rencaomu looked up and smiled: "How can I forget that you are young when you come to drink tea with me. It's just that it's too early and it's not appropriate to drink tea on an empty stomach."
Ye Ling found a table and sat down and said: "Walking around in this street, this tea shop is the quietest, so I came in. Since it is not appropriate to drink tea on an empty stomach, the boss can give me a suitable cup!"
"good!"
Not long after, Ren Cao Mu came with a kettle and made a cup of noodle tea for Ye Ling, saying, "I was originally supposed to keep it for me, so I'll share it with you, but don't mind the bad taste."
Ye Ling took a bite and nodded: "It's the right time to eat. Everything is delicious. You can't tell the difference between good and bad."
"That's the truth," Rencaomu said with a smile: "It is much better to eat chaff when you are hungry than to eat honey when you are full!"
As he spoke, Rencaomu turned back to the inner hall to do some work.
Ye Ling drank up the noodle tea in a few sips, sat in his seat, and stared at the street outside the door in a daze.
Not long after, I saw an old man in white walking in. It was Kong Mengyao, the master of the school!
Ye Ling quickly stood up, bowed his hands and said, "Master!"
The Master also returned the gift, but did not speak.
Ren Caomu came out, held a square tea bag in his hand, handed it over and said: "Master, I have packed your tea leaves. I told you before that I will deliver them to the school, but I have to ask you every time. Master, please take a trip."
The master smiled and took the tea bag and said: "It's my duty to get the gift, so I can't bother the shopkeeper too much. I also want to thank the shopkeeper for helping me pack the tea. In that case, I'll take my leave."
"Send it to my wife!"
"Send it to my wife!"
The master glanced at Ye Ling with his peripheral vision, his expression changed slightly, but he walked away without saying anything.
Ye Ling put down his hand and said to others: "I didn't expect that the master of the school would also drink your tea."
Rencaomu nodded and said: "Master Meng fell in love with me, but it made me famous in the town. According to people in the town, Master taught here in his early years. I don't know how many years, and he taught many students. I think he is old. I'm older, and maybe my legs and feet are inconvenient, so I thought about sending the tea I ordered to the school, but every time I have to come and pick it up in person."
Ye Ling watched his master go away without saying much.
…
On the side of the school, the master just walked under the big tree, then turned around and saw a group of government officials arriving. Song Zheng was riding on a tall horse, looking very majestic.
The group walked through the streets and went straight to Xu Guoguo.
The master slowly walked up the steps of the school and saw the children in the house, playing and playing with Budu and Zixiu while the master was not there.
The whole school was noisy. Only Qingyi sat by the window and read quietly without daring to slack off.
The Master stood at the door and coughed lightly. The students immediately noticed that the Master was back and hurriedly ran back to their seats, grabbed the books and started reading. However, pairs of eyes were still watching the Master secretly, for fear that he would pick up the ruler and punish them.
But the master did not get angry as usual. Instead, he quietly walked to his seat, put down the tea leaves, and said: "Qingyi, bring me the money!"
Qing Yi didn't know why and quickly stood up and stepped forward.
The master whispered a few words to her, and Qingyi nodded, ran out of the school, and went straight to the street.
The other students were whispering to each other, curious. But the master reached out and picked up the ruler and said, "Those who can't memorize the book may not be able to earn a living tonight!"
The children quickly immersed themselves in their writing, not daring to be distracted again.
…
At the gate of Xu Guo's country, a police official opened the door, and immediately locked it for Xu Guo who opened the door.
Xu Guo hurriedly shouted: "Sir, what have I done?"
The officer said, "If you commit any crime, let's tell it to the lobby. It has nothing to do with us!"
On the other side, the people who went to Master Jiu's house came back and reported to Song Zheng: "There is no one at home!"
Song Zheng asked Xu Guodao: "I want to ask you, where are the two people from Chen Jiu's family?"
When Xu Guo heard this, his thoughts suddenly changed and he said, "I don't know anything, sir, I don't know anything!"
Song Zheng waved his hand and motioned to take Xu Guo away. Since I couldn't find anyone, I had no choice but to go back like this.
Xu Guo was arrested without knowing the crime. Yun Shu was extremely anxious, and little Xu Nuo also cried loudly, adding to the chaos.
When the neighbor's Sai Da Chong saw it, he hurried over and said to Yun Shu: "Old Xu's family, don't worry. Brother Xu Guoda is a kind man. The government must have made a mistake. Don't worry. Take good care of your children at home, and I’ll ask my eldest son to go to the city to find out!”
Yun Shu, a serious woman, had never experienced this. She just kept crying: "Thank you, sister-in-law."
"Neighbors, what are you talking about?" Sai Da Chong said, turning back to call his daughter-in-law: "Ruilian! Where did you die? Come here quickly!"
…
On the street, Ye Ling walked out of the teahouse and was about to go back to Master Jiu's house, but he ran into Qing Yi, who was running towards him out of breath.
Ye Lingxiao asked: "Qingyi, you are not in the school, why did you run out?"
Qing Yi said: "Big brother... Master asked me to come. Master told you not to go back yet. He asked you to bring him another bag of tea."
Ye Ling was stunned when he heard this, but nodded subconsciously, and then turned back to the tea shop.
This man Cao Mu knew what kind of tea the master wanted, but the preparation was very cumbersome and took a long time.
Ye Ling and Qing Yi waited until it was almost noon before Ren Cao Mu finally wrapped up another bag and handed it to Ye Ling and said: "Here, please brother Ye. It's strange to say that in all these years, Master has never bought two bags a month." When wrapping.”
Ye Ling was also very puzzled, but out of respect for the master, he still obeyed the order.
While he was talking, a carriage stopped at the door, and a master and a servant got out of the carriage. It was the same person who came to book the venue every afternoon.
Some of the tea guests knew the rules, paid for their tea, got up and left. This leaves Ye Ling and Qing Yi still there.
When the little maid saw Ye Ling, she said angrily: "Why is it you again? Are you sincerely trying to get in trouble with our lady? Why don't you get out quickly!"
Ye Ling didn't say much, pulled Qing Yi and walked out. Sometimes, arguments are unnecessary.
After leaving the tea shed, Ye Ling and Qing Yi returned to the school. Unexpectedly, his master was standing at the door of the school waiting for him.
Ye Ling and Qing Yi quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Master!"
The master returned the gift and asked Qing Yi to go in and continue studying. Then he asked Ye Ling: "Did you bring the tea?"
"Yes, Master, please check."
Ye Ling offered the tea, but the master waved his hand and said, "I gave it to you. Take it back and brew it with water. It will calm your mind and calm your mind."
Hearing this, Ye Ling smiled bitterly and said, "Junior, I can be calm now, but I can't rest in peace."
"That's why you need stability," the master said with a smile, "it's just not enough to just drink tea, you have to work hard on your own."
Ye Ling was silent for a moment, then nodded: "In that case, thank you very much, Master."
The master turned around to go back to the school, but when he reached the door, he suddenly said: "If you have nothing to do in the future, you can come to the school and listen."
Ye Ling looked up at the master until he entered the lobby.
After a long time, he turned around and left, passing by Xu Guoguo's door. Seeing that the door was closed, he didn't go in to disturb him.
When he walked to Master Jiu's door, he saw the door open, making Ye Ling suspicious.
As soon as he took a step, he suddenly frowned, and stepped out far away, staring at the door, and said in a cold voice: "Who are you, please come out and see me!"
"Pah - pah - pah -"
A young man in brocade clothes clapped his hands, walked out of the courtyard, and said with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for three years. Brother Ye has really made a lot of progress!"
Ye Ling looked at it with his eyes and his expression changed slightly. Standing in front of him at this moment was the sixth prince of the Daqian Dynasty, Baili Hanran, who had originally invited his eldest brother Xu Zheng to come out of the mountain. On the way, he was seriously injured in an assassination attempt!
Baili Hanran waved his hand and saw two guards walking out carrying two unconscious officers, who were still in the corner of the door.
Baili Hanran said with a smile: "I have only been in Taiyue City for a few days, and you have already provoked people from the government. You really don't make people worry!"
Ye Ling's face was calm, but his heart was full of doubts. He had not done anything that violated the criminal law, so why was there a police official here?
"His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince is not here to help me knock out two officers, right?"
Baili Hanran nodded and said: "Of course it's just casual, I'm here to invite you into my house and act as a guest!"
As they were talking, a chariot pulled by a strange beast came over and stopped between the two of them.
Baili Hanran walked into the driveway: "Let's go!"
Ye Ling said solemnly: "Why does the Sixth Prince think that I will agree?"
"If you want to know the whereabouts of your eldest brother and third brother, the best opportunity is right in front of you. I think a smart person will not miss it!"
