The owner of Laojun Temple was also from the Quanzhen sect. When he saw the three sons of Quanzhen, he was naturally overjoyed and quickly arranged for food and accommodation.
"Brother Guo, let my parents stay here first while we go to the desert to pick up my aunt." Xiang Nan said to Guo Jing at the dinner table, "We will go to Chang'an together after everyone gathers."
"Brother, I'd better send my uncle and aunt to Zhongnan Mountain first. After settling them down, it won't be too late to pick up my mother." Guo Jing waved his hand. He had always been honest and loyal, putting others before himself.
"No, I have two meanings." Xiang Nan waved his hands, "On the one hand, it will be a long night and many dreams. It is just the right time to pick up my aunt now;
On the one hand, the disappearance of my mother and I would definitely trigger a massive manhunt. Blockades will be set up at every pass and city pass. So it is very unsafe to go on the road now. It's better to rest for a few days and wait for the heat to subside before hitting the road again. "
"Yes, Kang'er is right." Qiu Chuji nodded, "The disappearance of the prince and princess of the Jin Kingdom is definitely a big deal, and the Jin Kingdom cannot remain indifferent.
At that time, reward notices, sea arrest documents, and nationwide arrests will definitely be issued. No matter how high our martial arts skills are, we may still be unable to move even an inch.
Sun Tzu's Art of War says that those who make good use of their troops should avoid their sharpness, wait for the chaos with tranquility, and wait for the labor with ease. In my opinion, we might as well rest for a few days and wait for the storm to pass before we hit the road again. "
After hearing what he said, everyone felt that it was reasonable, so they all nodded.
Ke Zhen'e, Zhu Cong, Han Baoju and others secretly sighed in their hearts, Xiang Nan's intelligence, culture, Taoism and martial arts were really a hundred times better than their apprentices.
…
"Master Ke, I want to have a discussion with you. If Jing'er and Kang'er return to the desert, they will definitely waste time." Qiu Chuji asked Ke Zhene, "Can our Jiaxing competition be postponed?"
"Of course." Ke Zhen'e nodded and agreed, "I'm not a stickler for the past, so of course it's important to save people."
The other five monsters also agreed.
To be honest, ever since they met Xiang Nan, they knew they would lose the competition. Xiang Nan's literary talent and martial arts far surpassed Guo Jing's, and his character was quite good. He was willing to put aside his noble status as the young prince of the Jin Kingdom to help his parents reunite.
This is not something ordinary people can do.
"Okay, thank you." Qiu Chuji said with his hands in hand.
After current discussions, the competition time has been postponed to August 15th.
…
After resting for half a day at Laojun Temple, Xiang Nan and Guo Jing set off for Daor'er. Daor'er, which means palace tent or palace, is the Mongolian capital built by Temujin.
Seeing this, Mu Nianci also proposed to go together.
"Sister, please don't go." Xiang Nan stopped her, "It's the middle of winter right now, and the cold wind and frost in the desert are really unbearable. You'd better stay with your parents."
"Yes, Miss Mu, the climate in the desert is no better than that in Guan Nei. When the wind blows, the sand and rocks fly away, blocking out the sun. You can't even see anyone standing on the opposite side.
The worst thing was encountering the white-haired wind. The wind stirred up the snow and hit my face, like a knife blowing. Every year in the desert, countless shepherds, cattle and sheep freeze to death and suffer frostbite. This is no joke. Han Xiaoying advised.
When Mu Nianci saw this, he had no choice but to give it up.
Xiang Nan immediately set off with Guo Jing.
Leave Laojun Temple and walk all the way north. In the evening, we found a farmer to stay.
"Brother Guo, get some rest early. Let's set off early tomorrow morning." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
Guo Jing nodded.
The two of them had just laid down when they suddenly heard a snap on the window.
When the two heard this, they immediately stood up and listened intently, but did not hear any movement.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan quickly pushed open the door and jumped out of the wall.
Guo Jing followed closely behind.
When I came to look outside the wall, I saw a person standing by the wall.
The two were taken aback and were about to take action to defeat the enemy. When they took a closer look, they both stopped immediately.
It turned out that the person beside the wall was Mu Nianci.
"Miss Mu? Why are you following me?" Guo
Jing said in surprise.
"Sister, I didn't let you come, why do you have to follow me?" Xiang Nan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly walked over and asked.
But he saw that Mu Nianci was motionless, like a sculpture.
As soon as Xiang Nan saw her, he knew that her acupoints had been tapped and immediately used the acupuncture method.
But what surprised him was that this acupuncture method was very strange, and the commonly used acupoint solving methods were actually ineffective.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan is proficient in several fingering methods such as Yi Yang Finger, Iron Finger Jin, Yi Zhi Zen, Black Wind Finger, Three Yin Finger, Snap Finger Magical Power, Sunflower Acupuncture Hand, etc. After many attempts, he finally solved it with Three Yin Finger Mu Nianci’s acupuncture points.
"Huh?!" Just when Xiang Nan instantly poked out two fingers and opened Mu Nianci's acupuncture points, a surprised sound suddenly sounded in the distance.
When Xiang Nan heard this, he immediately jumped after him. But he saw a dark shadow flashing into the woods. His body was agile and untouched by fireworks. It was obvious that he was very skilled in Qinggong.
However, even though she dodges quickly, Xiang Nan can still tell that she is thin and undersized, and she should be a girl who is underage.
"Could it be Huang Rong?" Xiang Nan guessed. With her infatuation for Guo Jing and her quirky temperament, it seemed like she could do this.
When Guo Jing heard this voice, he couldn't help but be startled, feeling that it seemed so familiar.
…
Xiang Nan then returned to the wall.
When Mu Nianci saw him, she couldn't help but feel a little shy, and wanted to avoid him, but Xiang Nan reached out and grabbed her, "You've been caught, where are you going to run?"
Mu Nianci couldn't help but flushed with shame and was speechless.
"Okay, let's not talk anymore. Now that you've come, let's make peace with it. Since you want to follow, let's go together." Xiang Nan said.
Mu Nianci was happy now.
Her temperament is soft on the outside but strong on the inside. She looks delicate, but in fact she has a very twisted temper. As long as it's something she's sure about, even nine cows can't pull it back.
She wanted to follow Xiang Nan to the desert, but was stopped by everyone, but she refused to give up. After Xiang Nan and Guo Jing set out on the road, they left a letter behind and secretly followed them on horseback.
After Xiang Nan and others stayed for the night, she went outside the wall and stared secretly. But unexpectedly, just as he was looking at it with rapt attention, an acupuncture point was hit. Fortunately, the other party had no ill intentions, otherwise, she would be dead right now.
"Look, fortunately the other party was just playing a prank, otherwise you would be dead right now." Xiang Nan said, "The world is dangerous and we have to guard against it."
Mu Nianci nodded.
…
Xiang Nan and Guo Jing then gave the bedroom to Mu Nianci, and the two of them lived in the hay shed.
Although it was freezing cold in the hay shed, both of them had internal skills, so not only did they not feel cold, but they were also very comfortable.
After a night, Xiang Nan got up early in the morning and left half a drop of money as a thank you, and then headed north with Guo Jing and Mu Nianci.
At noon, the three of them came to a town and were about to find a shop to pick up tips. Suddenly they saw a shop assistant coming up to them and said with a smile: "Are these three Mr. Guo, Mr. Yang and Miss Mu? The food and wine have been prepared for a long time. Now, please invite three of you to use it."
Guo Jing and Mu Nianci were both surprised, "How do you know us?"
The waiter smiled and said, "This morning, a gentleman came with instructions. He told the appearance of Mr. Guo, Mr. Yang, and Miss Mu, and asked the shop to prepare food and wine." After that, he led the three of them on their mounts to load the food. .
The three of them entered the shop and sat down, and the shop companion served them wine and rice. It was actually fine rice wine and fine noodles. The dishes were also very elegant, including a bowl of Guo Jing's favorite dish, braised chicken with mushrooms.
"Who decided? How do you know my taste?" Guo Jing became even more surprised when he saw this.
"Don't worry about him, just eat," Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"Brother Kang, be careful of fraud." Mu Nianci quickly stopped him.
As the saying goes, the older you get, the less courageous you are. After all, she has been wandering in the world for eighteen years and has experienced a lot, so she is more cautious.
"It's okay, it's not poisonous." Xiang Nan sniffed and said.
He is proficient in medicine and poison, and can tell whether there is poison. Moreover, after taking snake blood, he is immune to all poisons, even if it is poisonous, it will not harm him.
