"Second nephew, why do you think that Buddhist guy chose to hide in the cave wine pool of Shenquan Villa?"
The little fat Taoist Xiang Qingniu got tired from walking up the mountain. He squatted down on a rock, took out a pack of candy from his sleeve, opened a piece and threw it into his mouth, chewing it while asking Taoist Hexi.
Taoist Hexi replied: "That night, my nephew found the Buddhist man and seriously injured him. Although I don't know who rescued him, he was so seriously injured that he would definitely be injured even if he carried the Bodhi Pill, the most precious treasure of the Buddha. Find a place to recuperate and rest. And the smell of blood on his body is too strong. The Imperial Guards, Dali Temple, Punishment Department, and our Yizhiguan disciples are all searching the city, so the smell of blood cannot be hidden from anyone. "
"If you want to hide safely, you have to find a place that can hide the smell of blood on his body. There is no doubt that the wine pool of Shenquan Villa this place is good."
Xiang Qingniu nodded, swallowed the candy in his mouth and smashed it in his mouth. After waiting for a while, he didn't hear the roar of the mastiff coming from the cave. He shook his head and said, "No wait, I'll go in and take a look now. I don't have time to waste here. I have to rush to the martial arts field to finish my work quickly." Go and have a look, hoping to catch Xiao Fangjie's last competition. If I don't go, the guy will definitely say that I am bragging. I am an examiner, how can I be underestimated by him? "
He stood up and walked slowly towards the cave.
¡°Little uncle, it¡¯s better for me to be my nephew.¡±
Taoist Heji advised.
"You think I can't settle it?"
Xiang Qingniu gave Taoist Heji a blank look, then swung the wide sleeves of his black Taoist robe, twisted his butt and walked towards the cave. Taoist Heji naturally did not dare to take it lightly. He hesitated for a moment before chasing after Xiang Qingniu. Before entering the cave, the crack on his forehead slowly opened, and a dark red light was faintly visible in it.
"Nephew, are you really born with this magical eye?"
Xiang Qingniu asked as he walked.
"yes"
"Then how did you discover that you have this ability?"
"Uncle Junior, is it okay if you don't tell me this?"
"What do you think?"
"Uncle Master, the third eye can see through the disguise of the world. The method of illusory binding is the result of Master's guidance and practice. It's all Master's teachingwell, that's it."
Taoist Heji, whose face was a little red, answered seriously.
"Do you think I believe it? Let me ask you, did you accidentally discover that the eye on your forehead could see through the wooden board and see the little girl's big white butt exposed in the shower, and then you worked hard to practice hard? Don't give it I pretend to be so serious, how can I not know the virtues of the Taoists in Qingle Mountain?"
¡°Uncle Junioryou are also a person who sees things from the same perspective"
¡°That¡¯s why I know!¡±
Xiang Qingniu replied matter-of-factly. When he finished saying this, the two of them had already entered the cave. Standing at the entrance of the cave, Xiang Qingniu frowned slightly after adjusting to the dim light in the cave. I could see the dozen or so mastiff dogs in the cave. Some confused animals looked around, but found nothing.
Xiang Qingniu shook his head and said, "Did you look in the wrong place?"
"Won't"
Taoist Heji's expression also changed slightly. He looked inside carefully and then said: "Before we went up the mountain, there were still people staring at this place. We didn't see anyone escaping. The intelligence from the Ouchi Guards Department will not be known." Such child's play. Since they said that the Buddhist sect is hidden here, there should be nothing wrong. "
Xiang Qingniu hummed and walked forward.
"Uncle, I'll do it."
Taoist Heji took a step forward to block Xiang Qingniu, and walked into the cave step by step. The mastiffs couldn't find a target to attack and fell silent. Some dogs even stretched out their big tongues to lick the wine jars because they couldn't help but be tempted, and seemed to be eager to taste the wine. Dogs are also addicted to alcohol. This was the first time Xiang Qingniu saw it, so he thought it was a bit funny.
This time he didn¡¯t fight for it, and followed Taoist Heji into the depths of the cave. The index and middle fingers of his left hand came together to form a sword gesture, and a faint light flickered on the two fingers. Taoist Heji was concentrating on searching the cave, and there seemed to be an eyeball in the vertical eye on his forehead moving back and forth, so it seemed particularly weird that the three eyes could search in different directions. Especially when the light got darker deep in the cave, the dark red light in his vertical eyes became clearer.
"Someone should have been hiding here."
Taoist Heji pointed to several broken wine jars not far away and said: "If the injured person cannot find any medicine for the time being, cleaning the wound with strong liquor will have some effect."
"GetA stupid person goes out without even bringing any medicine for injuries? "
Xiang Qingniu snorted and said.
Taoist Heji shook his head: "It's just pride."
Xiang Qingniu curled his lips: "Does he think that no one can hurt him after entering the Sui Dynasty? It's so conceited and stupid to say so."
Taoist Hexi smiled bitterly in his heart, saying that he had never seen a Taoist who was more unreliable and out of tune than his little uncle. Compared with my junior uncle, the seriousness of his master is a bit outrageous.
After walking a few steps forward, Xiang Qingniu suddenly stopped and sniffed.
"Let's go!"
He suddenly gave Taoist Heji a hand and retreated violently. Taoist Heji didn't understand what was going on, but he still subconsciously followed Xiang Qingniu back. Two figures, one black and one red, rushed out from the depths of the cave like streams of light, so fast that the human eye could not keep up. Just when the two of them arrived at the entrance of the cave, the air deep in the cave seemed to shake violently, followed by a huge wave of air spurting out from inside, and then there was a violent explosion. .
With a bang, a wave of air spurted out from the entrance of the cave, carrying a large amount of gravel, sand and wine. It seemed that the whole mountain was shaking, and huge boulders fell one after another, almost blocking the cave. The scene looked extremely spectacular.
Taoist He Xi and Xiang Qingniu were both in a bit of a panic. Although they retreated from the cave in time, they were still in a hurry due to the explosion. The two dignitaries with high status in the Tao Sect had their noble clothes cut to pieces by the air waves. Messy. If it weren't for the complicated patterns on the clothes of the two people that shone with light and blocked part of the flow at the critical moment, it is impossible for both people to suffer some injuries.
And at the moment after rushing out of the cave, Taoist Heji quickly turned around, stretched out his hands towards the entrance of the cave, and two majestic repulsive forces violently rolled out. It was due to the dual effects of the repulsive force he exerted instantly and the Taoist robes worn by the two men that he and Xiang Qingniu were able to escape from such a violent explosion.
"It's not like he doesn't have any medicine for his wounds"
Xiang Qingniu shook off the dust on his clothes and sighed: "I would rather mix at least a panacea-level wound medicine with other medicinal materials and soak it in wine to make such a big killer, rather than use that medicine to treat my own injuries. This guy is so damn cruel. He even gave up treating his injuries to plot against us. Is he a human? Didn't those mastiffs notice something? I felt something was wrong when the mastiffs added to the wine jar before. , I was just careless and didn¡¯t think of this.¡±
"Fortunately, my uncle discovered it early."
Tao Heji said with lingering fear.
Even though his cultivation level is astonishing, he may not be able to withstand such a violent and powerful explosion. Originally, he only had superficial respect for this junior uncle, but now he finally has real respect for Xiang Qingniu in his heart.
"Your master is not necessarily better than me when it comes to medicine."
Xiang Qingniu did not forget to sneer, then shook his head and sighed: "I am willing to give up a magical elixir that has the effect of bringing back the dead and is comparable to our Tao Sect's little magic pill, and set up this ambush just to plot the people who found this place. Is this guy? I never thought that if it were just a few government servants or servants of Shenquan Villa, wouldn¡¯t it be a pity to waste such a magical medicine? Damn, it¡¯s really intolerable to waste such a treasure! "
"Madman"
Taoist Heji thought for a while and said, "I can only say that this person is an out-and-out lunatic."

Martial Arts Arena
On Tucheng
Zhou Banchuan, who was watching the candidates' riding and shooting competition with great interest, suddenly raised his eyebrows. He turned around and looked at the rounded mountain in the distance. After being silent for a while, he said to the person behind him: "Yan Qing. , go to Shenquan Mountain to see it.¡±
Yan Qing didn¡¯t ask what was wrong, and immediately nodded and said, I¡¯ll go right away. In order not to attract the attention of the candidates, he walked to the back of Tucheng before jumping down, spreading his body like a big eagle and rushing forward. In just a moment, his figure disappeared behind the building of the martial arts arena. The moment his figure disappeared, a muffled sound suddenly came from the direction Zhou Banchuan was staring at.
At the same time, Chang'an City.
The old man in blue robes who had almost destroyed Shen Qingfan with one palm and fought against the old cripple was sitting in a pavilion in Changchun Garden drinking tea. When the tea cup was raised to his mouth, he was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then stood up immediately. He told the people around him: "Please ask Commander Luo and Envoy Hou Zhenfu to come to Qionglu to escort me. I want to leave the city!"
The guards around him did not dare to ask what happened and immediately ran out to find Luo Weiran. The guard had only run out a few dozen meters when he saw Luo Weiran, the commander of the Ouchi Guards Department, walking in from the outside with a gloomy expression. He nodded to the old man from a distance, and the old man's figure was?has disappeared.
After the old man disappeared, Luo Weiran walked slowly to the pavilion where the old man was sitting. I asked for a clean cup and drank the half pot of tea left by the old man.
The emperor, who was sitting on the Tukang in Qionglu, handling the memorial, looked out the window and saw that the person sitting in the pavilion was Luo Weiran. He was slightly startled, then slowly shook his head, and there seemed to be some anger in his eyebrows. But soon, he once again focused his gaze on the memorial on the desk.
? Red Sleeve Moves
The old lame man who was lying on a long bench and humming an unknown but particularly desolate and heavy tune sat up, looked outside and then lay down again. The window on the third floor opened, and Xi Huamei, the shopkeeper with red sleeves, appeared in the window. The old lame man shook his head at Xi Huamei and whispered a few words.
"It has been ten years since anyone dared to act arrogant in Chang'an City. Some people thought that Chang'an City would no longer be scary without him. So it is inevitable that they would be a little arrogant. It doesn't matter if something happens, let those people get to know Chang'an City again. It doesn¡¯t matter what place it is There are many people in this city who can kill, and there are many more who can kill than me. "
Xi Huamei nodded and said nothing. After closing the window, he walked back to the table and continued reading half of the book.
In the boudoir across the room from where she was, Xi Zhuxin looked a little unnatural when he heard the old lame man's words. I don't know why, but there is a little bit of pride in her unnaturalness.
Chang'an Four Cities Governor's Mansion
Xu Xiaogong, the general of Youzhenwei who was drinking tea and chatting with Hou Wenji, the envoy of Qingya Town, suddenly stopped laughing, and then some uncontrollable anger overflowed in his eyes. He turned to look at Hou Wenji and saw that he was sitting there with a calm face and seemed not to do anything. He was a little confused, but he didn't intend to ask.
Xu Xiaogong stood up, said sorry and left.
Hou Wenji smiled and said: "General, please sit down for a while. The reason why I came to the Yamen of the Governor's Mansion today is not just to drink tea."
"oh?"
Xu Xiaogong stopped, glanced at Hou Wenji and asked, "What is the governor here for?"
"Your Majesty said"
Hou Wenji pondered for a while and then said seriously: "Chang'an City has not been quiet these days. Some young people thought that Chang'an City was not as scary as it was ten years ago, so they came out to make trouble. But it's not like people from the labor military. If you can't even settle this trivial matter and still use military personnel, it will inevitably make people look down on our Sui Dynasty and the capital Chang'an. So General, please sit down and drink tea. Please rest assured that it is important to maintain His Majesty's majesty. It¡¯s not just the military¡¯s responsibility.¡±
At this moment, a middle-aged man who looked very elegant walked in slowly. After glancing at Xu Xiaogong and then at Hou Wenji, he asked coldly: "How did your majesty know that something would happen today? If you told your majesty, why didn't you know that someone was causing trouble in the Governor's Mansion?"
Hou Wenji stood up and saluted: "I have seen General Yu Your Majesty naturally did not expect that something would happen today. Your Majesty just felt that since it was the people of the sect who made trouble, then they should let the people of the sect solve it to avoid being exposed. It is said that our Sui Dynasty has no capable Jianghu people. General, you know that His Majesty has always regarded Daozong very seriously. Naturally, he will not be reluctant to use it when it is time to use it. After raising it for so long, it is time to see what it is. Is it easy to use or not?¡±
The man known as General Yu is none other than General Zuowuwei Yu Manlou, one of the Sixth Army of the Emperor.
Yu Xiao is his son.
Yu Manlou frowned, hummed and said: "Since this is His Majesty's wish, then I will naturally obey it. But if a person with a single view or someone else does not have enough strength to do something, don't stand still After all, the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty live to protect His Majesty¡¯s dignity.¡±
These words were very serious, so Hou Wenji was inevitably a little uncomfortable.
The meaning of Yu Manlou's words is very clear. He cannot trust Yiqiguan, nor can he trust the Ouchi Guards Department. The pride of a soldier is most vividly reflected in General Zuo Wuwei. Perhaps in his opinion, no one is trustworthy except those in the military.
Although Hou Wenji felt uncomfortable, he still kept smiling: "General, some things are not as simple and shallow as they seem on the surface. Since some people are standing where they should be, naturally they are not just for that bite. Those clothes show off your identity. If someone wants to move Chang'an, let them see how terrifying Chang'an is."
