Chapter 92 Northbound(1/2)
Four days later, Mingwu came to Kaifeng and found the Tongbao Pavilion opened on East Street. When he looked up at the plaque, a man in a welcoming guest at the door stepped forward and bowed, "But Master Mingwu?"
Ming Wu was stunned and guessed that Chu Nanfeng and his party had arrived in Kaifeng, and Heshi said, "Amitabha, the little monk is Ming Wu."
"The young Zhao Si, on the order of the manager, is waiting for the master here." Zhao Si said respectfully: "Master, please follow me..."
After saying that, he led Ming Wu to the east. Ming Wu guessed that Chu Nanfeng and his group were crowded. He thought that he did not live in this pavilion, so he followed Zhao Si. After half a stick of incense, he met Chu Nanfeng and Luo Hanshui and his son.
But when Mingwu arrived, Chu Nanfeng and the other two were a little surprised. After saluting each other, Chu Nanfeng smiled and said, "Just just now, Chu mentioned the master to Brother Luo, and he really saw the master coming... Go with Chu to meet the King of Jin, don't you know how convenient is the master?"
"King of Jin?"
"Well, the prince today. He studied in the academy more than ten years ago..." Chu Nanfeng nodded, "Xiaoyao and him have not seen each other for six or seven years. Today, take Xiaoyao to see him... Master will wait until tomorrow with Xiaoyao again?"
Chu and Luo, who were originally going to visit Guo Rong in Chanzhou, came to Kaifeng, but after arriving in Kaifeng, they learned that he had been named King of Jin by the emperor and led the prefect of Kaifeng. In an accident, they took Luo Xiaoyao to the Kaifeng Prefecture Office together, but they did not expect to meet Mingwu on the street.
Chu Nanfeng and Luo Hanshui were cautious in their actions. This time, they came to entrust Guo Rong with the current emperor. If they had not met halfway, Chu Nanfeng would not have specially invited him to go with him.
But I thought that the "Tian Lei Yin" technique broke the "Hundred Tribulation Fist" and saved Luo Hanshui, so I should have no idea about the destruction of Buddha's energy. In terms of Buddhist law, Mingwu is also involved in this incident. If I find an excuse to avoid him, it would be bad. With everything in accordance with the natural mind, I would like to ask for advice.
"The little monk is based on Mr. Chu's arrangement."
"Okay, let's have a walk together."
With the guidance of the Arrow Guard, we headed towards the Kaifeng Prefecture Office located on the West Street. There were people coming and going on the street. With their feet, they took a stick of incense to arrive at the Prefecture Office.
Luo Xiaoyao stepped forward, clasped his fists at the guard at the door and said, "Luo Xiaoyao, a student of Taibai Academy, asked to see His Highness King Jin."
I thought that I knew the relationship between Guo Rong and Taibai Academy, the guard looked at Chu Nanfeng and others and hurriedly replied: "Please wait for a while, young master." Then he rushed into the yamen to report.
After a while, Guo Rong, wearing a regular dress, walked out quickly, followed Jiang Qiubai, and came to Chu Nanfeng, and wanted to bow, but was stopped by Chu Nanfeng. "Jun Gui is already the King of Jin, so this great gift cannot be performed."
If an ordinary disciple has not seen his elders for six or seven years, it is also necessary to perform the bowing ceremony. However, Guo Rong is already the King of Jin, and as a court official, Chu Nanfeng will not let him perform the bowing ceremony.
Knowing that Chu Nanfeng was concerned about etiquette, when Guo Rong came out to greet him, he changed into a regular dress. When Chu Nanfeng stopped him, he had to bow and bow: "Students have seen the mountain leader."
Ming Wu, who was next to him, was shocked. He already had the "Sky Eye Power" magical power. When Guo Rong stepped out of the yamen, he had already seen a ball of purple air from him. But he thought that he was the King of Jin, and he vaguely guessed in his heart that the true dragon emperor in Wen Yi's mouth was the person in front of him.
Chu Nanfeng smiled slightly, "I can't bear the burden of academy affairs. I have transferred the affairs of the mountain chief to Junior Brother Zhenghua. Don't call him the mountain chief anymore."
Jiang Qiubai and Guo Rong were unaware of this. They were stunned when they heard this. After looking at each other, Guo Rong had to respond: "Students have recorded it."
Chu Nanfeng is four or five years older than Min Zhenghua, but he is the first student in the academy, so Guo Rong is naturally called his master.
"I have met Mr. Luo." Guo Rong turned to greet Luo Hanshui.
Wu Wangbo and Luo Hanshui's father are brothers, Guo Rong is Min Zhenghua's disciple, and he is also Wu Wangbo's disciple. He is naturally called Luo Hanshui's uncle.
"Oh? How did the King of Jin recognize me? If I guess correctly, the King of Jin has left the academy for at least ten years..." Luo Hanshui was surprised for a moment.
"Yes, I have been away from the academy for sixteen years. However, in the first seven years, the disciple happened to visit Master Wu in the academy. When Master Chu was uncle Chu, he met Master Luo who sent him to the academy to drink. At that time, the disciple did not stay for a long time because of something, but Master Wu's style was already in his mind."
"The King of Jin should be a good memory, haha... Come on, let me introduce it to the King of Jin, Qiubai, Junior Brother, this is a high monk in Mingwu..."
After meeting Mingwu and Luo Xiaoyao, Guo Rong personally led the way, welcomed Chu Nanfeng and others into the living room of the yamenei, and ordered the servants to serve tea. Guo Rong said, "Has the master found a place to stay? If so, the students immediately went to move their luggage to the government office..."
"You don't have to be polite, I don't like the excitement. You should know that you are uncomfortable living in the government office, so you don't have to worry." Chu Nanfeng smiled, "There are two things that come this time. One is that you and Xiaoyao have not met for seven years. I am afraid that your brothers will never know each other in the future, so I specially attracted you to meet you."
"There is another thing... Master wants to talk to you alone."
Guo Rong was stunned, then stood up and saluted, "Student obeys the order." Then he turned to Jiang Qiu and said, "Master, Mr. Luo, Junior Brother Luo, will be welcomed by Master Jiang."
He greeted Luo Hanshui and others, and then led Chu Nanfeng to the study. After Chu Nanfeng took his seat, Guo Rong bowed and said, "Master Chu has something to do, please give me instructions, and the students must do their best."
Chu Nanfeng nodded and took out the secret bag from his arms, "I'm sorry, you can hand over this item to the current emperor."
Guo Rong was shocked. He knew that Chu Nanfeng had the style of a hermit, and he was even more unwilling to interact with the officials of the court. He suddenly wanted to deal with the emperor, but he couldn't react at once.
"I was also entrusted by someone. This man's surname is Zhu and his name is Xuanzhou. I heard that Mr. Zhu was walking in the Tianjian of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Do you know it?"
"Walking in Sitianjian?" Guo Rongfu was stunned.
Chu Nanfeng saw Guo Rong's expression and guessed that Zhu Xuanzhou was definitely the sorcerer used by the current emperor Guo Wei. I thought Guo Rong didn't know it either, so he smiled, "Mr. Zhu thought it was inconvenient to tell me the truth... But he must know the Lord, you can hand over the treasure to the Lord."
"Students obey orders."
"You should not talk to others easily, but remember it."
"Student understand." But seeing Chu Nanfeng's face was solemn, Guo Rong nodded solemnly. He took the tip and immediately put it in his arms, saying, "Then the student immediately went to the palace to meet the saint... Is the master going to go with him? The saint may have something to give."
"You don't have to worry... Mr. Zhu just ordered to hand over this thing to the Lord, and did not ask for the Lord to reply. Besides, I don't know how to convey the Holy will and him. I think the Lord understands this matter in his heart, and it would be inconvenient for me to go."
Zhu Xuanzhou was already dead. Chu Nanfeng was unable to tell the truth, so he had to find an excuse for his unknown whereabouts. However, if Zhu Xuanzhou prepared this tip to prevent an accident, he would definitely remind the emperor in the tip. There was a lot of hidden information in this matter, so the emperor would definitely not tell the truth, and it would cause trouble if he went there.
Guo Rong nodded when he felt that Chu Nanfeng was right and heard Chu Nanfeng say again: "You are here in Kyoto this time, have your brother-in-law accompany you..."
He and Cheng Rou have not seen each other for more than a year, so he came from this time and wanted to visit him.
"Mr. Cheng's transfer order was sent to Chanzhou two days ago. I think he will come to Bianjing in two or three days... Master waits for a few days and will definitely meet them."
Guo Rong was also just named King of Jin and was appointed as the prefect of Kaifeng, but his staff members had never arrived.
Chu Nanfeng nodded and said, "Okay, I happened to have something to ask Junior Brother Jiang to talk about... There is another thing, do you know Xiaoyao's father's other identity?"
"The other identity of Uncle Luo?" Guo Rong was shocked and suspicious.
"I believe you know that Tongbao Pavilion... Brother Luo is the owner of Tongbao Pavilion."
"ah?!"
You should know that Luo Hanshui's identity is extremely confidential. Although Jiang Qiubai knew about it, he did not dare to reveal that he knew about Guo Rong. Chu Nanfeng said it clearly, and Guo Rong was extremely surprised.
"Brother Luo will arrange for people from Tongbao Pavilion to go to Zhenzhou to provide relief to refugees. You think you want to thank him very much, haha..."
There were good deeds at Tongbao Pavilion, and Guo Rong himself heard of them. The silver names were widely distributed in various dynasties and were very powerful. Guo Rong had great ambitions and wanted to win over them for the use of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He secretly sent people to investigate the background, but got nothing.
Luo Hanshui wanted the wise ruler who unified the world should be in the Great Zhou royal family, so he was willing to fund the silver to prepare for military supplies. He also knew that Guo Rong was granted the title of King of Jin, but he thought that he was respectful and kind, but he guessed that he was or the wise ruler who unified the world by Zhu Xuanzhou. After discussing with Chu Nanfeng, he decided to show his identity so that he could act with him in the future.
Guo Rong was stunned when he was surprised. When he heard Chu Nanfeng's laughter, Fang Zi came to his senses and said happily: "It turns out that Uncle Luo is the master of Tongbao Pavilion, but the student has been looking for it for many years..."
"Oh?" Chu Nanfeng was a little surprised, and then understood what Guo Rong said. However, if he wanted to use the financial resources of Tongbao Pavilion, each court would find a way to help him. After hearing Guo Rong's honest words, he smiled and said, "He is willing to help the court, so I can reveal my identity to you in private... But you don't have to tell others. If there is something wrong in ordinary times, just let you, Master Jiang contact him."
"Students keep in mind the instructions of their master."
"The people in the world suffer for a long time. If they can live a stable life, they still have to rely on the saints and benevolence... King Jin, don't let Brother Luo down on his passion." Chu Nanfeng looked at Guo Rong meaningfully.
Guo Rong looked solemn and bowed, "Students remember the teachings of teachers."
...
The next morning, Luo Xiaoyao thought about it, but decided to go north to Youzhou with Mingwu and pass on Mu Daocheng's handwritten letter to Xiao Siwen, who was already a left-behind Youzhou.
He made some sense of his decision. The housekeeper of Mingyue Villa also knew about Xiao Yanbei's death. After he worshipped Xiao Mansion in Yunzhou, he had also lived in the village for two days. Now he could not pass on the letter to the housekeeper, so as not to explain it clearly.
With the skills of the two, they arrived in Youzhou for seven hours. They sneaked into the city near the hour of Hai, and found a branch pavilion to rest. On the second day, they went to the left-behind mansion to visit Xiao Siwen.
When Xiao Siwen heard the guard report that Luo Xiaoyao was coming, he was very surprised. Without asking in detail, he ran out quickly and saw that there was only one monk around Luo Xiaoyao, without Xiao Muyun. He only said that his naughty sister hid and teased him. After seeing Luo Xiaoyao, he looked around and smiled: "Young Master Luo, where is Muyun? Have you sneaked into the mansion? Haha..."
After laughing, he turned around and looked behind him. Luo Xiaoyao felt sad, but he didn't know how to answer.
Xiao Siwen looked back and saw Luo Xiaoyao's face showing sadness. He hesitated and did not answer. His heart tightened. He had always been steady, but he felt bad, so he said, "Let's talk about it when you enter the mansion."
After entering the living room in the mansion, he hurriedly said, "Why didn't Mu Yun come with Mr. Luo? What happened?" The concern was beyond words.
Luo Xiaoyao knew that he loved Xiao Muyun very much, so he sighed in his heart and took out the letter from his arms and handed it over, "This is a handwritten book written by Master Mu and Uncle Xiao..."
Hearing that it was Mu Daocheng's letter to Xiao Yanbei, Xiao Siwen was stunned, and was surprised. He took the letter with one hand and said, "When did Mr. Luo meet his master? Where is he? Did Mr. Luo not tell him about his father's affairs?"
Luo Xiaoyao nodded when Xiao Siwen asked three questions in a row, but thought that he would understand after reading the letter, but he did not answer.
Xiao Siwen was surprised and opened the letter to read it, and his face gradually became solemn. After a long time, he looked at Luo Xiaoyao and his eyes narrowed, "If it weren't for the master's words, and Mu Yun would have avenged his grudges in the future, I would have asked someone to arrest Zhuo Qinglian's evil wife and cut him down."
Luo Xiaoyao felt guilty, "I took care of my junior sister and caused her to be harmed by others. Please forgive me."
Xiao Siwen waved his hand, looking sad, "It's a pity that when my father was buried three months later, Mu Yun can't send him the last journey... Alas."
Due to the feng shui reasons, Xiao Yanbei's spiritual coffin is temporarily placed in Yunzhou Temple and can only be buried after three months.
After pausing, he handed the letter in his hand to Luo Xiaoyao, "Prince Luo, please see what the master said..."
Luo Xiaoyao was stunned and took it with confusion. He suddenly turned red. It turned out that Mu Daocheng only said that Xiao Yanbei was not dead, and Xiao Muyun was not in danger of life, so he told him about the harm she had been harmed. The letter naturally mentioned the admiration between Luo and Xiao and urged Xiao Yanbei to betrothed Xiao Muyun to him.
Putting aside the incident of Luo Xiaoyao killing Liu Gongwen, Xiao Siwen had the idea of Luo and Xiao becoming a couple. Since Xiao Yanbei was alive, he had already revealed to him that he wanted to entrust Xiao Muyun to Luo Xiaoyao.
The so-called elder brother is like his father, Xiao Yanbei passed away, and Xiao Siwen was the mastermind of the Xiao family. Luo Xiaoyao thought that he would let him watch the letter, and the intention of fulfilling it was obvious. He felt ecstatic in his heart. He suddenly saw Xiao Siwen's smile with a strong smile, but for a moment he turned red and hesitated.
Khitans were open-minded by nature. Xiao Siwen was displeased when he saw his distorted attitude, so he said, "A real man dares to love and hate, and the master's letter is written by him. Are you willing?"
The tone below seemed to entrust Xiao Muyun to him, but Mu Daocheng's intention, Luo Xiaoyao felt nervous and hurriedly saluted: "Xiaoyao, thank you Brother Xiao for your accomplishment."
Xiao Siwen laughed loudly when she heard this, "Then the virtuous brother and the master will stay in the house tonight. I will recognize some characters with you so that I will not be rude to you in the future." The following title has been changed from "Young Master" to "Young Brother".
Luo Xiaoyao did not dare to refuse, and couldn't help but look at Ming Wu monk. Ming Wuyi could hear the clues from the conversation between the two. Seeing Luo Xiaoyao looking at him, he smiled slightly, "Good, good, I will follow the arrangements of Mr. Xiao."
...
The next morning, Luo Xiaoyao, Mingwu and Xiao Siwen said goodbye and went to Daming Temple.
When Lejue saw the two of them coming, he was naturally very surprised. After seeing each other, Ming Wu presented the letters written by Master Wenyi to Lejue. "The master and the abbot have been separated for a long time, and they have thoughts about something. Just as the young monk came, he wrote a book to greet the marquis..."
Lejue and Wen Yi had a meeting with each other. They knew that the skills he practiced were mainly spiritual thoughts, but Mingwu was practicing physically and martial arts, and had already entered the realm of golden body. He heard Mingwu was very surprised when he heard that he was known to him as his master. When he took the letter, he was immediately happy, "Good, good, respecting the teacher and the monk Buddha's heart are true. Zhong Chang is lucky. I thanked him for your great kindness first."
Yan Zhongchang himself has the power to resist the catastrophe. His spiritual consciousness is much lighter than Luo Hanshui. In addition, Master Jue recites the exercises every day to help him. In another two years, he can break the catastrophe power and wake up, but he has no hope of entering the golden body realm in his life.
Now Ming Ming did not come to help him. Using the "Sky Thunder Sound" to break the power of the catastrophe, it would not cause much damage to his soul. He would have the opportunity to see the magic of the golden body in the future. Even if he felt that the Taoist monk was eager to love his disciples, his face would be happy.
To be continued...
