Chapter 34 The Mystery of Tao Gong

The Broken Dragon Stone was impossible to pass, so Bai Wuyan had to take everyone back to the Tai Chi Bagua Hall. At this time, the bronze door of the Kun position suddenly closed, and the bronze door of the Qian position opened again.

With the opening of the bronze door, it seemed that the entire underground palace treasure house could finally bear the burden of thousands of years and began to collapse. The colorful wall paintings and murals slowly fell off, and stones continued to fall from above. Bai Wuyan and his party had to walk along the He walked back to the river where he came from, and jumped in again out of desperation.

Unexpectedly, they were rushed into the bottom of Poyang Lake. It was not until the sun was about to set that they were rescued by a few fishermen returning from fishing. The others were fine, but Yao Jingli fainted. , Bai Wuyan quickly gave her artificial respiration.

After Bai Wuyan breathed for a long time, Yao Jingli spit out a few mouthfuls of lake water and slowly woke up. She found that Bai Wuyan was pressing her chest, so she pushed him away, covering herself with both hands and shuddering slightly. Behind her ears, which were red with embarrassment, she slightly raised her eyes and looked around. She saw a fishing boat floating on the picturesque Poyang Lake, and the sunlight was reflected on the water, just like the colorful look in the girl's eyes. In order to get rid of this In the awkward and ambiguous atmosphere, Yao Jingli quickly asked loudly: "Why are we here? Could it be that we were washed out from the bottom of Poyang Lake?"

"This also confirms that Mr. Tao indeed entered Taoyuan Village from Poyang Lake by mistake. However, it is estimated that the water level of Poyang Lake was higher at that time, and the lake water poured into the underground river. Now that the water level of Poyang Lake is low, we It was poured back and flushed out."

After resting, the three of them returned to the Zhai family compound. They saw a Taoist priest holding a torch next to the coffin, confronting everyone in the Zhai family.

"At the Wulao Peak in the southeast of Mount Lu, golden hibiscus are carved out of the blue sky." The Taoist continued, "Your ancestors and Tao Gong are close friends, so they must know about this Peach Blossom Spring."

When the old mayor Zhai heard this poem, he couldn't help but be shocked: "How do you know this poem? Was it you who colluded with the government to kill my grandson?"

The Taoist was not angry at all, and argued calmly: "Old man, don't be slanderous. It was your grandson who drank too much at a banquet and let the news slip. He said that your ancestors had a relationship with Mr. Tao. We are close friends. The Peach Blossom Spring passed down by Mr. Tao really exists, and there is a treasure house of immortals in the Peach Blossom Spring. After he sobered up, we asked him where the treasure house of the Peach Blossom Spring was. He said that your Zhai family has lived in seclusion for generations to protect this secret. So I decided that I would rather die than say anything, and finally bit my tongue and committed suicide. We just asked the government to lay a random charge for his death."

When the old man of the Zhai family heard that his grandson was willing to die to protect the secret, he felt relieved. He stroked his beard and said, "Yes, our Zhai family has lived here in seclusion for thousands of years, just to protect Tao Gong's secret. How can we tell you?" Know?"

"Our Maoshan Dao Tao Tianshi is also the inheritance of Tao Gong. How come our own family can't know this secret? If you don't tell this secret, don't blame me for burning your son's body so that he can't be buried!" The Taoist heard from the Zhai family. Knowing this secret for sure, it turned from being a joke to an outright threat.

"To tell you the truth, this secret has been lost. I only know that Tao Gong got lost and entered this Peach Blossom Spring on a night trip to Poyang Lake. If you want to find the Peach Blossom Spring, go to Poyang Lake and look for it yourself! Thank you for sending my grandson back. If you want to burn the body, you can burn it, and we will bury it in the same grave." The old man did not give in at all, insisting that he knew nothing.

When Bai Wuyan saw this unreasonable Taoist priest, he immediately rushed up and struggled with him. Just after a few moves, the Taoist priest suddenly saw the white jade gourd on Bai Wuyan's waist, threw a talisman, turned around and ran away.

Already.

In order to thank Bai Wuyan and his party for retrieving his grandson's body, the old man of the Zhai family held a big banquet to entertain them. In other words, Bai Wuyan and the others had helped the Zhai family twice. Now not only the old man of Zhai, but also

The sons of the Zhai family also thanked them profusely and were very respectful and polite. Gradually, everyone became familiar with each other, and Bai Wuyan and the others also changed the title of Mayor Zhai to the cordial Mr. Zhai.

During the dinner, Mr. Zhai started talking about family history on a whim, and he couldn't stop the car as soon as he started talking. Bai Wuyan just listened at first, but in the middle, he couldn't help but interrupt suddenly and asked: "

Mr. Zhai, I just heard that your family has lived in seclusion here for generations to protect the secret of Tao Gong's Peach Blossom Spring, why did your grandson go out to become an official?"

Bai Wuyan's problem of not understanding the ways of the world has never changed. However, Mr. Zhai was not angry after hearing this. He just sighed deeply and excused himself: "It's no better than before.

The outside world is changing with each passing day, and new things and new ideas are attracting people. Young people like them all have their own ideas. I, the old man, can't control it. You said that if he had listened to my instructions and stayed at home, he would not have suffered this misfortune.

, there was almost no body left. It was thanks to Mr. Xiaobai that you were so powerful that you helped us push back our powerful enemy. Hey, Mr. Xiaobai, look at this. My youngest daughter has also returned from studying abroad recently, and she is yelling at me every day.

If she is allowed to go out to preach, I will have a headache every day."

Bai Wuyan didn't care, but persuaded Mr. Zhai: "I think you won't have to worry about it in the future, and the Zhai family will no longer have to guard the secrets of the Peach Blossom Spring. Because we all have the underground treasure house of the Peach Blossom Spring.

It has been found. There was nothing inside originally, and now it has completely collapsed."

Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhai burst out laughing when he heard what Bai Wuyan said, and said without reservation: "No, no, Mr. Bai, in fact, what we are guarding is not the secret of the Peach Blossom Spring. Where is this Peach Blossom Spring?

We don’t know, and we don’t care about the treasure troves of the underground palace, that’s all Tao Gong’s business. Our Zhai family has been guarding secrets for generations, and it’s a secret about Tao Gong.”
