Hong Feiluan walked to the study door and knocked lightly on the door. He didn't push the door in until a "come in" was heard from inside.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Prince Jiang Xi Zhaoyin sitting on a chair with his fingers crossed, with a secret letter in front of him.
Hong Feiluan saluted: "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince!" The Crown Prince said slowly: "Master Hong came here late at night. What's the matter?"
Hong Feiluan glanced at the secret message on the table inadvertently, and pretended to be confused: "The weather in Zuzhou is getting colder. Yesterday, the official ordered someone to make a few more stoves. I came here to see if there are still any shortages in the prince's house. .”
Jiang Xi suddenly slapped the table.
Hong Feiluan was so frightened that he quickly fell to his knees.
Jiang Xi said in a deep voice: "Who gave you the courage to lie to me? You have obviously received the news and are here to find out my attitude. You are still pretending to be sending a stove. Okay, if you can't bring out the stove today, I will I’ll cut you off.”
Hong Feiluan's face showed a look of fear that his scheming had been exposed, and he said hurriedly: "Your Highness, please forgive me, I did come here with a stove."
Jiang Xi picked up the secret letter in front of him and threw it in front of Hong Feiluan. He laughed angrily and said, "Isn't this a good thing you did?"
Hong Feiluan opened the secret message and checked it carefully, then buried his head deeply and remained silent.
Jiang Xi regained her composure and said, "How did you find out?"
Hong Feiluan whispered: "Yue ago, Nanxue encountered thieves. The villain sent people to investigate, and the spies accidentally learned about it from Xu Lai's mouth."
Jiang Xi said in a deep voice: "Is it true?"
Hong Feiluan raised his head and met Jiang Xi's eyes, and affirmed: "It's true. I went there on my own, but was blocked by someone."
Jiang Xi looked at Hong Feiluan with firm eyes.
This made him slightly surprised. This eunuch was used to being groveling, but today he seemed to be a different person. The specific difference was hard to pinpoint.
It is better to kill someone wrong than to let it go. If this news is true, it will add another Taoist sect to the foundation of Da Yan, no, it will be the entire Taoist sect.
make a prompt decision.
"Let's go to Wen Mo Temple. I have to ask our ancestors about this."
Jiang Xi walked out of the door and saw the carriage that had been prepared. She glanced sideways at Hong Feiluan and knew that it was prepared by the latter, but did not say anything.
Hong Feiluan got into his carriage.
According to Da Yan's rules, eunuchs are not allowed to ride with the master's family.
Not even if he is an official or a third-gong official!
The two carriages left the city gate and walked one behind the other towards the top of the hill where the Wen Mo Temple was located.
The two carriages arrived at Wenwu Temple one after another. Hong Feiluan followed Jiang Xi and stepped into the temple gate. He first offered incense to the several holy statues in front of him, and even the statue of Yafuzi was not left behind.
This made Hong Feiluan look at Jiang Xi twice. Jiang Xi seemed to notice something while walking up the stairs to the third floor, and said lightly: "What? I wonder why I also put incense on the statue of Yafuzi?" Hong Feiluan He lowered his head: "I don't dare."
Jiang Xi said: "No matter what grudges the two dynasties have, those who can practice to that level are no longer ordinary people, and they deserve my respect."
Go up the stairs to the third floor.
There is only a desk and two little girls about eleven or twelve years old, and nothing else.
Jiang Xi opened his mouth and asked: "Xincha, where are the ancestors? Why did it become like this? Where are the utensils?"
One of the little girls in green saw it was Jiang Xi, with almond-shaped eyes like crescent moons, and said cheerfully: "Your Highness is here, someone from Yinzhou has brought a good treasure to our ancestors. Our ancestors said that he couldn't let it go, so he asked me He and Cardamom are moving all these out.”
Yinzhou?
Hong Feiluan and Jiang Xi wondered at the same time, is Yinzhou Taiyi or Luquan? What did you bring to make the ancestor so happy? You know, I heard that the tables and chairs on the third floor were all arranged by Grandma Huang herself. The ancestor never allowed others to move an inch, but now they are almost moved. Empty, it’s incredible.
Jiang Xi asked: "Where is our ancestor?"
The little girl in yellow pointed to a small hand stove in her arms.
Jiang Xi was surprised and said: "Ancestor is in the hand stove?"
The two little girls nodded together.
The little girl Xincha opened the lid of the hand stove and shouted inside: "Grandpa, your highness is here."
Then a burst of purple smoke flew out of the hand stove, wrapped around Jiang Xi and Hong Feiluan, and pulled them into the hand stove. In a blink of an eye, there were two little girls left in the room.
Xincha put the lid back on the stove and continued to clean the house with a smile.
Jiang Xi felt dizzy, and her arm was tightly clamped by Hong Feiluan.
When the earth felt thick under his feet, Hong Feiluan let go of Jiang Xi and asked, "Is your highness okay?"
Jiang Xi shook his head. Open your eyes and you will see a valley.
In the deepest part of the valley, there is an ancient tree that is hundreds of feet high, with roots criss-crossing and branches criss-crossing.
Surrounding the old tree is a small lake.
Surrounded by a canopy of towering trees.
Several peach trees are hidden among the green trees and flowers, like mysterious but enchanting flower fairies, quietly welcoming the guests.
There was a pavilion at the foot of the tree trunk, facing the two men.
Playing chess.
Suddenly, a young girl in colorful clothes pulled a long hanging twig of the big tree. He jumped down from the tree and swung into the pavilion. While circling the two people, he clapped his hands happily and said something unknown, causing the two people who were playing chess to laugh again and again.
Jiang Xi glanced at it and saw that the sky was as clear as a wash, the green reflected in the pool, and the wonderful man in colorful clothes flying in the pavilion were ordinary fairy butterflies. The two of them were playing chess like hidden immortals, which was indescribable.
Jiang Xi and Hong Feiluan were shocked by what they saw, and an indescribable feeling surged in their hearts.
There is actually another world in the hand stove.
At this time, a fat old man seemed to notice the two people here and raised his voice: "Xi'er, come here."
Another black-haired old man wearing a Taoist robe next to him laughed and said, "Come on!"
Then the giant tree dropped a branch and brought it to Jiang Xi and the two of them. The two stretched out their hands to hold it, and the next moment they were led to the pavilion by the willow branches.
The entire valley world seemed to be shrouded in layers of mist, making it wet and greasy.
The enchanting girl just now was hiding under the eaves behind the fat old man, facing Jiang Xi, squinting and smiling, still a little childish.
The fat old man waved to Jiang Xi, who stepped forward and saluted respectfully. It was not like meeting the emperor when he went to court, but like accepting greetings from a younger member of the family.
At this time, the black-haired old man who had just spoken seemed to be in his fifties. He raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Xi in surprise. He seemed to be exclaiming: "Is this Prince Da Yan? Is he really a human being?" The middle dragon and the phoenix.”
When your grandson is praised by others, you will naturally feel extremely happy, but you should not be arrogant.
He picked up the handkerchief next to the chessboard and wiped his hands and said: "Anyway, it's still far away. It's beyond fifty on the Spring Breeze List."
Both old men smiled heartily.
The fat old man said: "What does Xi'er want from me?"
Jiang Xi looked at the enchanting girl next to the fat old man and the old Taoist priest in black opposite him.
He hesitated to speak.
The old Taoist priest in black grinned and said: "It's just inconvenient for me to listen to, that's all. I'll avoid suspicion first."
The fat old man hurriedly raised his hand and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? The whole Tang Valley belongs to you. Where are you going to hide? Don't embarrass me."
He turned back and glared at Jiang Xi displeasedly and said, "This is Master Tai Dao Master Xiao Zhenren, one of the three towns in our country. I don't need to carry him on his back for anything, but it doesn't matter."
Jiang Xi hugged him again and said, "I have met Master Xiao! Please forgive me for my rude behavior just now."
The old Taoist priest in black said it was okay.
Jiang Xi then said: "Ancestor, we found the disappeared cave! It's in Zuzhou!"
The fat old man and the old Taoist priest in black looked at each other after hearing this.
After a while, everyone burst out laughing.
I don’t know why, but it’s clearly something that my ancestors have been looking for, and now that they have the result, looking at the expressions of the two people in front of them, it seems like they are very surprised.
Jiang Xi asked in surprise: "Ancestor, do you already know?"
The fat old man was silent for a while and said: "I have known that the disappeared cave was in Zuzhou since the second year I came here."
"Then why ancestor..." Jiang Xi asked puzzledly.
"Why didn't you act earlier and take this cave into my possession? Do you have to wait until all the major forces come to Zuzhou?
It's not that easy. This cave is different from other caves. The seal is just one of them. What's important is what is sealed. "The fat old man's eyes became sharp.
Hong Feiluan had been following Jiang Xi since he came in. After bowing, he stopped talking. The two old men didn't notice him, as if he was a transparent person. When he heard what the fat old man said, his eyebrows suddenly twitched. Suddenly, he felt the eyes of the old Taoist priest in black lingering on him for a moment, and then looked away again.
The fat old man stood up, raised his brows suddenly, and looked sad, but he still said to Jiang Xi kindly: "That's a big demon. I asked Jia Sanhua to come and see it, but he said he was not sure. Even Jia Sanhua was not sure. I'm not sure what the consequences will be if I let it out. If I'm not careful, the whole world, let alone the cave, will be overturned. I don't want to be a sinner through the ages. At my age, I can't compare with others in cultivation, so I still have more shame. Yes, people, not seeking profit but seeking fame."
Jiang Xi hesitated for a moment, knowing that what his ancestor said made sense. He was an extremely smart person, and he immediately realized that as the prince, what he was thinking in his heart was the stance of the Great Shan Dynasty. The monarch's thoughts have their own stance. On the stage of history and in the long river of life, many tragedies are caused by people trying to figure out the thoughts of others from their own standpoint. He secretly reminded himself, Jiang Xi, Jiang Xi, you must remember that your future will be the king of a country, and you will no longer be a practitioner competing for resources. Got it!
Thinking of this, he replied: "What our ancestors said is that children should not be considered. As for Dadongtian, I think everyone knows it now. Even if our Dashan Dynasty does not come to this entrance, other forces, such as Daqing He won’t let it go. If he is released by them, wouldn’t it be a disaster for the world? Should we stop him?”
After hearing this, the fat old man sighed, looked into the distance, and said: "What do all the forces have to do with us? You should pay more attention to me. By the way, there is a gatekeeper in this cave. I'm afraid he is not a big qing deer." It’s so easy to open.”
