Chapter 83: Taking sides
The return trip was extremely smooth, especially walking on the new road that he had built, and his mood was particularly different. In more than one day, Xie Yu quietly returned to the Xie Mansion in Chang'an City after more than a year's absence.
The three of them have washed their lives. Xie Yu has already sent book stickers to Master Ziyang, and now he is just waiting for Master Ziyang's call.
On the way here, Xie Yu already knew some of the "major events" in the world from Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling, including the fact that they lured Li Shimin to capture Danyang, killed Yu Wenhua and Wang Shichong, and avenged themselves.
Now that the world is basically owned by Li Tang, Xie Yu of course praises them for their contribution to Li Tang. If the world is stable, it can cultivate and thrive, and there will be less killing. This is a great merit.
There was nothing to say all night. The next day, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling went out to meet friends. Xie Yu was quickly summoned by Master Ziyang.
To be honest, Li Tang basically dominates the world now. Zhenren Ziyang can make Emperor Li Yuan of Li Tang recognize me as his ancestor. It can be said that Zhenren Ziyang is now the leading figure in the Taoist sect in Chang'an.
Master Ziyang was very busy every day, but after receiving Xie Yu's letter, he immediately put aside many things and summoned Xie Yu.
To be honest, Master Ziyang was very satisfied with Xie Yu's performance. He used the secret numerology skills of the secret sect to see that Xie Yu had some good fortune, so he accepted Xie Yu as a disciple of the secret sect.
Unexpectedly, just sending Xie Yu to look after his apprentices gave Xie Yu an opportunity. Through this opportunity, Xie Yu could do what ordinary famous generals couldn't do, help the Taoist sect gain a foothold in Li Tang, and make great achievements. contribute.
In particular, Xie Yu takes credit but is not arrogant. He always thinks about Taoism and arranges many difficult tasks for Xie Yu. Xie Yu not only completes them, but also gives surprises.
After not seeing each other for a year and a half, Master Ziyang saw Xie Yu again. At this time, Xie Yu was wearing a plain Taoist uniform. He was still unattractive and a bit fat, but his eyes were calm and pure, and his expression was natural, a bit like someone who had just finished tending the crops. farmers.
Master Ziyang looked at Xie Yu with satisfaction and said: "One and a half years later, I will send you away from Chang'an City. Do you understand what I mean?"
Xie Yu said to Master Ziyang: "Thank you, Master, for saving my life. If I had been in the court at that time, I would have been killed. This time I escaped, built a path of merit, washed away the sin of murder, and improved my moral character." .
After saying this, Master Ziyang was even more satisfied and said: "You can indeed understand my thoughts, and you should also feel that with the prosperity of Li Tang, your cultivation realm and skill will also improve very quickly. This is what you get The power of heaven’s favor to support the dragon.”
Ziyang hesitated for a moment and then said: "Several times, you have made great contributions to Li Tang, and I am happy and scared at the same time. I am happy that the Taoist sect can get more from Li Tang, but I am afraid that you will indulge in killing and destroy your own path. Fortunately, you are more moral than I thought, and I am particularly satisfied with this."
Xie Yu quickly slapped his head again, thinking, "I am just a passerby in this illusory world. Why do I kill so many people? Why do I hold so much power? It's useless. I'd better learn more health knowledge from Taoism and practice more." It’s best to practice your temper and live a few more years.”
At that moment, Xie Yu thanked Master Ziyang for his compliments and began to ask Master Ziyang about the purpose of calling him back to Chang'an City this time.
Master Ziyang nodded and said without any nonsense, "I asked you to leave Chang'an City and change your name incognito, firstly to avoid retaliation, and secondly to prevent you from falling into party strife. After all, you are too popular."
"It's different now. The Demon Sect and the remnant forces of the grassland have all surrendered to the prince, and the righteous forces have all surrendered to the second prince Qin Wang Li Shimin. This is a matter of position. Although I don't like Li Shimin who is too close to the Buddhist sect, but other The prince does not have the appearance of a human king." At this point, Master Ziyang paused.
Xie Yu continued: "This time, my uncle asked Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling to call me back. He wanted me to openly help or join Li Shimin, or let me act secretly."
Master Ziyang smiled and said: "You really understand, go down."
After saying this, Master Ziyang handed Xie Yu a pamphlet and stopped talking.
Xie Yu understood something, took the pamphlet, put it in his arms, and left to go back home.
Xie Yu returned to his mansion and opened the booklet. It was some things used for communication. There were people in it and there were passwords and so on. Xie Yu secretly remembered it in his heart and destroyed the booklet.
Then Xie Yu began to secretly figure out what to do. Suddenly he felt that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were walking towards him quickly, and he seemed to be carrying a person on a big bed board. How high-profile?
However, at this time, Xie Yu thought that he might be able to open a breakthrough through Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.
But what does this person on the big bed mean? Moreover, this person has seven silver needles stuck in his head to seal the acupuncture points.
Kou Zhong bluntly said that this person was his friend Lei Jiuzhi, who had been pricked with seven needles using a special technique. The two of them did not dare to act rashly. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling knew that Xie Yu was proficient in medicine and hoped to get Xie Yu's help.
Xie Yu nodded. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were quite smart and did not try to save him. Otherwise, the method would not be appropriate and would kill Lei Jiuzhi. Fortunately, Xie Yu had acquired a magic skill using needles in the first martial arts world. , this is not difficult to understand.
Xie Yu looked at the seven acupuncture points sealed by the silver needles. The seven-inch-long fine needles were inserted into Lei Jiuzhi's head, Xiang Tianzhu, Chengling, Luoque, Naokong, Fengchi, Wangu, and Touweiqi. The needle penetrated into the acupuncture point, and only the shining silver tail of the needle was exposed, which was shocking to see.
Xie Yu estimated that the person who used this technique would use the method and sequence, and use the "suction" technique in the Beiming Divine Art to absorb seven strands of strange energy. With a flick of his right hand, there would be seven silver needles on his hand. .
Then use the "Yin Yang Finger" to push hard, and then ignore it. This person has wasted too much energy and energy. It will be fine after the person wakes up for a while.
Xie Yu looked at the seven silver needles and asked Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling who their friend had offended. He was pricked with seven needles and tortured to extract a confession. If he hadn't met Xie Yu, this friend would have become a useless person.
Kou Zhong thought for a while and said: "This person has something to do with the two of them. They both studied under Lu Miaozi. They are considered to be in the same school and are good friends. This time they were caught and asked about Yang Gong's treasure house. The matter of the Evil Emperor’s relics being tainted.”
Xie Yu's mind was full of questions. Xie Yu had heard of Lu Miaozi, a master of engineering construction who had helped the Sui Emperor build many famous buildings.
There are rumors that Yang Su was preparing to rebel and asked Lu Miaozi to help build the "Yang Gong's Treasure House", which contained gold, silver, jewelry and sophisticated weapons collected by Yang Su for use in rebellion.
There are also rumors in the world that if you get one of "He's Bi" or "Yang Gong's Treasure House", you can conquer the world. This "He's Bi" has now been in the hands of Li Yuan. There are rumors that "Yang Gong's Treasure House" is related to Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.
But no one has seen him for so many years, and Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling have done little. With the unification of Li and Tang, everyone has forgotten about it.
Suddenly talking about it today, Xie Yu's curiosity did come. Although he had never asked, he did ask this time.
Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling said that they did not hide anything from Xie Yu. They only knew that it was related to the "Prancing Horse Bridge" in Chang'an City, and they didn't know much about anything else. To be honest, they were half-believed and had other clues, so the two of them never thought about it. Open "Yang Gong's Treasure House".
Xie Yu nodded, just a "Leaping Horse Bridge", there were indeed too few clues.
