As Wang Wu pushed open the door of the room, a figure wearing black clothes fell to the ground with his head facing inside. Wang Wu rushed forward in three or two steps, stretched out his hand from under her body to lift her whole body, the man in black whispered softly Said: "Brother Wang, please be gentle, it hurts me to death!"
Wang Wu suddenly became at a loss when he heard the sound. He held the man in black in his hands and stood there without daring to move, for fear of hurting her again.
Chen Xiaomu came over and took a look. There was only a hard bed in Wang Wu's room, with a sheepskin mattress on it. There was a black quilt made of linen piled on the mattress. It was so cold that the bed was still used. Bamboo pillows and a very old plain wood three-drawer table are placed at the head of the hard bed. There are some bowls, chopsticks and teapots on the table. What is more conspicuous is a bowl of medicinal soup next to a medicine pot on the table. The hot steam filled the small space in the room with the strong smell of soup. On an ordinary armchair in front of the table, there was an opened pack of black ointment. As Wang Wu said, he was The house is in a mess!
Chen Xiaomu stepped forward and took a look at the woman in black who was held by Wang Wu in his hand. She looked about thirty-five or sixteen years old, with delicate features. There was not even a trace of blood on her pale face. Her eyes were slightly closed, and her whole body was moving lightly. Trembling slightly, seeing this situation, Chen Xiaomu couldn't help but frowned and asked Wang Wudao: "Why don't you invite a doctor to come over and take a look?"
Wang Wu glanced at the woman in black in his arms and saw that she had no reaction. Then Ai Ai said: "Jiu Gu said that she can heal her own injuries without asking a doctor. She asked me to take the medicine she prescribed to the street." Just go to the pharmacy and get the medicine according to the prescription!"
Chen Xiaomu said "Oh" and then nodded. He knew that many of these Taoist priests in the world were alchemists with very high medical skills. They could treat such knife wounds and gunshot wounds much better than ordinary doctors.
Seeing the veins on Wang Wu's forehead gradually popping up, Chen Xiaomu ordered Li Gui who was following behind him: "Captain Li, go help Captain Wang and put this Taoist nun on the bed. It's not a problem if he keeps holding her like this." .”
"Here" Li Gui agreed and came to help Wang Wu. The two of them supported the Taoist nun and put her on the bed. Unexpectedly, the Taoist nun suddenly opened her eyes and whispered to Wang Wu: "Brother Wang, Put me down and help me sit on a chair for a while."
Wang Wuwei said: "Jiu Gu, you should lie down on the bed! I'm afraid that the wound on your body will bleed again when you sit on the chair."
He Jiugu smiled slightly and said: ''It doesn't matter, I am aware of all the injuries on my body. "
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaomu quickly picked up the black ointment on the chair and put it on the three-drawer table, then moved the chair and placed it in front of Wang Wu.
When Wang Wu carefully put He Jiugu on the chair and sat down, Chen Xiaomu himself sat down on the edge of the hard bed and reminded Wang Wu with a smile: "Captain Wang, is the bowl of soup on your table getting cold? "
"Oh! Yes, yes." Wang Wujing and Chen Xiaomu reminded him, and quickly picked up the soup from the table and sent it to He Jiugu.
He Jiugu took the soup bowl to her mouth and took a small sip. Then she raised the soup bowl and drank the soup in one go. Wang Wu, who was nearby, quickly reached out to take the empty bowl in her hand and put it back on the table. At this moment, every move of the two people made them look like a couple who had been together for many years!
Chen Xiaomu thought about it for a while and asked in a consultative tone: "Chief Immortal, I want to ask you something. Just think that I am curious and say what I want to say. If you don't want to say anything, I will never force you to do so! How about that?"
He Jiugu rolled her eyelids and glanced at Chen Xiaomu, then said weakly, "Young master, please don't call me Immortal Chief. Folk girls really can't bear it!"
"Oh! Why is this?" Chen Xiaomu asked in surprise, turning his head to look at Wang Wu standing at the table.
Wang Wu also felt strange, but it was hard to interrupt, so he had no choice but to shake his head.
He Jiugu took a breath for a moment and then explained calmly: "Because I have never been a monk, let alone a Taoist nun!"
Isn’t this obviously telling lies with your eyes open? At this time, Chen Xiaomu had no hope of hearing anything about the situation in Sanqing Temple from the Taoist girl, but he still asked patiently: "Isn't this lady a Taoist priest in Sanqing Temple?" "
He Jiugu thought for a moment before sighing softly: "Master, actually this matter is a long story. Now I will just tell you briefly, "My master turned out to be the senior official of Baoyun Palace on Qinglian Mountain in Jin State. Gong Taoist, one year she went out to travel. When she passed by Mangdang Mountain outside the new capital of Zheng State, she was attracted by the beautiful scenery here. She stopped at the foot of Mangdang Mountain and went to the mountain every day to enjoy the mountains and waters. Over time, , she developed feelings for this place and wanted to choose a place on the mountain to build a Taoist temple and stay here. Later, she spotted a place on the mountain. After asking someone to inquire, she found out that this mountainous land belonged to my family, so she went to the foot of the mountain. They found my home in the town and told my father that they wanted to buy this piece of mountain land. My father and mother were both believers in Taoism. I heard from Master that they wanted to buy this piece of land to build a Taoist temple. Not only did they confiscate a penny from Master, , instead, he donated twenty taels of sesame oil money to Master. Master felt really sorry, and happened to see me returning home after taking care of the shop in town, so he proposed to my father and mother that he should take me in as her I was a lay disciple in order for her to teach me some self-defense kung fu. My father and mother agreed without even thinking about it. From then on, as long as I finished taking care of the shops in the town, I would go to the mountains to practice kung fu with my master, and even After I got married, I never left Master. Until one day, a large group of people suddenly came to the door of the Taoist temple. Although everyone was wearing a Taoist uniform, they looked like a group of Taoists. It was only through talking to them that Master I found that these people knew nothing about the "Shangqing Zhen Jing", "Huang Ting Nei Jing", "Tai Qing Dan Jing" and other scriptures that must be studied in Taoist schools. The master believed that they were fake Taoist priests who came to the mountain to plot evil, and he was going to expel them immediately. Let's go, but who would have expected that this group of people took out a stack of land deeds from their bodies and said that except for the place occupied by our Ziyun Palace, they had bought the rest of the area! Master was helpless when he saw the land deeds, so he simply ordered me Close the mountain door and ignore them."
Chen Xiaomu looked at He Jiugu who started to pant due to sudden excitement. He waved his hand to interrupt her and said with a smile: "You are injured, so please stop and calm down first, okay?"
He Jiugu nodded and paused for a moment. Wang Wu quickly picked up the teapot on the three-drawer table, poured a bowl of hot water and handed it to her. He Jiugu glanced at him gratefully, took the bowl and drank slowly.
Chen Xiaomu couldn't help but ask: "Did your master accept you as a lay disciple after he built a Taoist temple? Didn't he also confiscate other Taoists or disciples?"
He Jiugu shook her head slightly and said: "Master, she is very old. She originally wanted to find a quiet place to practice in order to ascend to heaven and become immortal in a hundred years, so she did not have any apprentices or Taoists. Moreover, the Taoist temple that Master built was also very small. There is only one main hall dedicated to Yuanshi Tianzun and three side rooms, which cannot accommodate many people!"
''What happened next? "Chen Xiaomu saw that He Jiugu had finished drinking the hot water in the bowl, and then asked again.
"Later!" He Jiugu murmured again, as if she had something very difficult to say. After a pause, she spoke again: "Later, these people seemed to be very rich. They hired more than a hundred people from Xinjing City and Guanshan Town at the foot of the mountain. They worked on the mountain for nearly a year and finally built it. I learned about the Taoist Temple, which has about fifty or sixty houses. I heard that when the Taoist temple held a consecration ceremony for its statues, the imperial court sent people to attend the ceremony, and brought with them the name of Sanqing Temple, written by the emperor himself. It was originally our two Taoist temples. Even though they were very close, they never interacted with each other. Master always thought that the group of people in Sanqing Temple were fake Taoist priests, and did not bother to associate with them. Until one day, in Sanqing Temple, Two Taoist priests came to my master with a court official who claimed to be the prefect of the new capital. They took out an imperial edict and told my master that the emperor had given all the land within a radius of four or five miles below the mountain. Sanqingguan asked my master to move away quickly. My master refused to accept it and argued with them for a few words. The prefect said that my master was disobeying the decree and wanted to arrest and punish my master. I was beside myself and got angry, so I rushed to fight him. Who knew that he would cause a huge disaster if he killed the dog official? The two Taoist priests who followed the dog official immediately ran to the door and shouted twice at Sanqing Temple. As if prepared in advance, more than a dozen Taoist priests rushed out in an instant. One of them, an old Taoist named Qi Shu, was very powerful in martial arts. He and my master fought hard and the two were inseparable. However, relying on their strength in numbers, they swarmed up and defeated my master. I was caught, and then the old Taoist named Uncle Qi turned to my side. I had a hard time dealing with the two Taoist priests, but this old Taoist joined in, and he caught me with only three moves and two moves. , then they took Master and I to Sanqing Temple, and prepared to let the prefect of New Capital City take us down the mountain and put us in a prison. However, when we were about to go down the mountain, this old Taoist named Qi Shu dragged the prefect to After chattering for a long time, the magistrate finally let me stay and took the master down the mountain. That night, I was tied up by two Taoist priests and sent to the seventh uncle's room, asking me to accompany him to do all kinds of things. I would rather die than obey him, and told him that I already have a husband, and it would definitely not work for me to be with him again! I didn’t expect this master of killing a thousand cuts, because there was no such thing on me that night When he succeeded, he took out his anger on my family. He sent people to Guanshan Town at the foot of the mountain overnight to find out where my official lived, killed him, cut off his head, took him back to the mountain, and then sent people He secretly sent his body to my parents' yard, and then sent someone to report it to the officials, falsely accusing my parents and younger brother of collaborating to kill him because of trivial family matters. It's a shame that the dog magistrate actually colluded with these thieves in the mountains. , in response to this framed and framed injustice that anyone with a clear eye could see, they openly imprisoned my parents and younger brother, and confiscated all the property of my parents’ family until the next day, this damned old man took my family home. The official's head was shown to me, and he threatened that if I dared not obey him or seek death, the government would kill both my parents and my younger brother. In desperation, in order to save the lives of my parents and younger brother, , I had no choice but to knock out my teeth and swallow it. In the end, not only did he succeed, but he also gave birth to two children, a boy and a girl, to this sworn enemy over the years! "
Chen Xiaomu sighed silently and asked: "Do you still remember, what was the surname of the new capital at that time? What was it called?"
He Jiugu thought for a moment, then hesitated and said, "I think I heard that goddamn old man once call him the prefect."
Chen Xiaomu's heart moved and he asked hurriedly: "Is it called Guan Wenjin?"
He Jiugu shook her head, "I don't know about this. He rarely comes to Sanqing Temple. Most of the thieves in Sanqing Temple come down the mountain to look for him!"
"Your Highness, if we go by the time this lady said, the prefect of Xinjing Prefecture at that time should be Guan Wenjin!" Li Gui, who was silent next to him, suddenly interrupted: "I remember very clearly, at that time I had just been selected to serve in the imperial army. One day, the money officer sent me to deliver a letter about raising grain and grass in Xinjing Prefecture to the Xinjing Prefecture Yamen. He also stated that he had to get a receipt from the prefect and hand it back to him before he could be reinstated. I remember that the signature under the receipt was the name Guan Wenjin.”
"Oh! Really?" Chen Xiaomu nodded thoughtfully. As far as he knew, this Guan Wenjin was now the deputy commander of the Palace Front Department responsible for protecting Emperor Su Chengxuan. Chen Xiaomu couldn't help but think of the Guan Wenjin who Zhang Yonglin estimated when he died. It is very possible that Wen Jin had an affair with the Chu State. At that time, he thought that Zhang Yong wanted to avoid death and deliberately reported meritorious service. Now it seems that Guan Wenjin not only had an affair with the Chu State, but also had an affair with the Qi State. Chu’s relationship! It's just that his current position is too important, and you can't touch him easily for the time being. If you accidentally push him into a hurry, and then give you a life-and-death attack, the lives of Su Chengxuan and others will be too dangerous! "
