Chapter 128: divination operator(1/2)
The streets and alleys are in order, and after the light rain, the sky is as green as emerald.
Prince Meng looked down from the seventh floor of the high-rise building with octagonal eaves, leaning on the railing, and saw a crowd of people like ants, noisily hawking, coming and going.
Qushuang Tower is the most prestigious restaurant in the city, especially famous for its "Xingxian Liquor". It is said that each jar of wine takes more than ten years to brew. The wine is as thick as syrup and has a vague floral aroma.
, only one hundred and fifty jars are sold in March every year. One cup can keep you from getting cold for three days.
Even in Luoyang, the eastern capital city nearly a hundred miles away, people come here early every March just to taste this prestigious wine.
Being able to book the seventh floor of the Shushuang Tower to enjoy wine and view the scenery is indeed a scene that even some of the princes and descendants of Luoyang City would admire and appreciate.
Prince Meng's outer robe is edged with gold thread, and the branches and vine patterns embroidered with gold threads are all over the place. The clothes are clearly light and thin, but have a dull and heavy feeling that is different from ordinary clothing materials. There is also a jade belt to tie the waist, a purple gold crown to tie the hair, ink color
Beautiful temples.
Even though the green birthmark on the left side of his thick, knife-like eyebrow occupies a small part of his forehead, it does not undermine his noble and deep demeanor.
It's just that this man with the title of prince and the air of a prince has no status in the imperial court. Instead, he has a great reputation in the world - he is the southern envoy of the Fire and Luo Dao.
"It's cold in spring. Since Brother Meng spent a lot of money to buy this place, why don't you enjoy the warm wine here instead of being by the railing to feel the damp and cold wind after the light rain?"
Between the elegant and luxurious halls of the building, a person dressed as a fortune teller appeared silently.
This man wore a square scarf on his head, clothed with mango shoes, and hung a green cloth sash on his right shoulder. It looked like a rectangular strip of cloth with a pocket at each end. One side was hung in front of him and the other behind him.
He took a seat behind a low table, sat down on the soft cushions, and took off his bag. The pockets were filled with arithmetic chips, tortoise shells, copper coins, and pens and inkstones.
Prince Meng turned around and looked at him: "Master Divination, I have a heavy responsibility, and I should take action in the next two days. You asked me to send an urgent secret report, and persuaded me to postpone it and make an appointment. What is the purpose of it?"
Bu Suanzi let out a breath of white air, rubbed his hands, picked up the wine pot that was warming on the small stove next to him, poured himself a glass, and said: "Han Wen Gong made great achievements ten years ago, and is known as the number one general of the poor family. He is old and cunning.
, should not be underestimated.”
"Humph, he's just a bad old man who has been in office for several years."
Prince Meng said, "Famous generals and generals must have generals and soldiers before they can be used. Now, at most, he is an old and frail, first-class warrior who still has some courage."
"Even so, I never underestimated him. I brought three guardians, and sent forces within the church to make various arrangements to lure out several threatening figures from the Luoyang branch of the Tieyi Hall, or kill them on the way.
Or cheat and go far away."
"Isolate him here, and if I take action again, nothing will happen."
Among the righteous paths in the world today, the most famous ones are Laojun Mountain and Shaolin Temple, but the one with the most powerful power and the largest number of disciples is definitely Tieyitang.
In its earliest days, the Tieyitang was just a loose sect formed by a group of veterans during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty. The corvee of the Tang Dynasty was to join the army at the age of twenty-one and retire at the age of sixty-one. Some were veteran generals and soldiers who practiced martial arts in the army.
, after being discharged from the army, he was still energetic and ambitious, so he set up such a banner and started some business similar to an escort agency.
These people may not have deep family backgrounds, but they definitely have a lot of official connections. Later, they gradually grew stronger, and even the imperial court intended to support them. They became known as the "leaders of the world's bodyguard agencies", and even some
General officers who have never served in the military can directly serve in the Iron Clothes Hall.
During the Southwest War ten years ago, one of the five grandmaster-level figures in the field of righteousness was Zhuang Guogong and Su Xing, the chief masters of the Tieyi Hall at that time.
Although there are no grandmaster-level experts in the Tieyi Hall today, its power cannot be underestimated.
After Han Wengong resigned and returned to seclusion, his power was naturally not as good as before, but the relationship between fame and reputation was still there. His two sons also served in Chang'an. The Luoyang branch of the Tieyi Hall valued him very much and had some masters.
Take turns to be on duty in this city to take care of the Han family.
Prince Meng first planned to resolve these obstacles before preparing to take action, which was not imprudent.
"It's a pity that things in the world are constantly changing and God's will is unpredictable, but something unexpected happened again."
Bu Suanzi said calmly and took a sip of wine. Not only was he happy, but he also twirled his beard and praised, "It really is a good wine."
Prince Meng didn't like his fortune-telling deception, and he always liked to show off his faults, so he just said: "What happened, let's finish talking before drinking."
"Alas, I have traveled all day and night to come here to help you. I only had one glass of wine, and I still have to endure your sarcastic remarks."
Having said that, Bu Suanzi stopped his cup and said, "This matter starts with Qiu Ruzui. She used the jade mirror to sense a while ago and realized that the Lushan sect had found a treasure that threatened her.
Three people, Yang Jichang, Fan Mianmei, and Jifa were sent to resolve the matter."
"I didn't expect that in the Taoist temple that Chen Shouzheng of the Lushan Sect found, there were actually three young first-class masters. Unexpectedly, they killed Yang and Kang and captured Fan Weili."
"After the accompanying disciple who was in charge of disguising himself and collecting intelligence reported this news, the sect was originally preparing for a rescue. Since Qiu Ruzui was not here, I was in charge. However, just as I was mobilizing my manpower, another piece of news came out.
Come over here."
Having said this, Bu Suanzi's face seemed to show a little regret, "The principle of the accompanying disciples is not to show up and not to have contact, so they took turns checking around with different identities and like ordinary people, but because the next day one
There was no movement in the Taoist temple all day, so they tried to let some children go there to test it."
"The Taoist temple has been deserted."
These words sounded ordinary, but Prince Meng understood what he meant almost instantly.
The people from the Taoist temple suddenly disappeared under supervision. They must have deliberately used the skills of first-class masters to take people away. And if they did this, it meant that they already knew the existence of the disciples of the Huo Luo Tao.
Probably because they couldn't find out the identities of these accompanying disciples for a while, and they didn't want to waste time, they adopted this method to get rid of surveillance.
However, the existence of Huo Luo Dao's accompanying disciples is itself a secret.
People in the Taoist temple will know about this matter, and it must have been confided by Fan Weili. In other words, Fan Weili will also reveal all the things he knows about Huo Luo Tao.
The look of regret on Bu Suanzi's face was precisely because of Fan's pity.
Prince Meng chuckled and said, "How could Fan Miao confess so quickly? The person from the Taoist temple you mentioned is probably not related to the imperial court."
"It's very possible." Bu Suanzi nodded. "It has been many years since he became a master. He has achieved great success in martial arts. Even the three of them have surpassed their master. However, they are not famous in the world. It really seems that they have been honed in the government."
Prince Meng said: "So you think they already know that I want to attack Mr. Han Wen."
"Among the information that Fan Mianmei knows, your case is the most important recently."
Bu Suanzi gently twisted the end of the goat's beard and said, "If they have already arrived at the Han Mansion, then it is not safe enough for you and the three guardians you brought to complete this matter."
Chen Shouzheng, three first-class people, plus Han Wengong himself.
Although Prince Meng was confident, he could not say that he was 100% sure of defeating the opponent just based on the words of him and his three subordinates.
"But even if we include you, we are only equal in numbers to them. Let alone being victorious, if they want to run away, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop them."
Fortune teller admitted frankly: "That's right. So before I set off, I had already asked for permission from the superiors. I was the first to arrive. Within three days, there should be four more Dharma protectors who will come over."
Prince Meng pondered: "Wait three more days?"
Seeing that he was deep in thought, Bu Suanzi reached out and poured another glass of apricot wine, slowly tasting the warm and thick wine.
"It doesn't hurt to wait another three days to attack Mr. Han Wen."
Prince Meng finally spoke, his eyes flickered slightly, and there seemed to be an astonishing cold light flowing between his pupils, "However, if according to what you said, Chen Shouzheng went to the Han Mansion, then in the past three days, we have something else
Things to do.”
Bu Suanzi asked: "What?"
Prince Meng said: "In addition to Chen Shouzheng, the Lushan School also has a first-rate master, his uncle, Tao Ran Jinyu, Zhao Wangui..."
………………
When the envoys from the north and south of Huo Luo Dao, Prince Meng and Fortune Teller met, it was just as they had guessed.
——Guan Luoyang and others have arrived at Han Wengong's residence.
And it has been here all night and half a day.
They brought the witness of Huo Luo Dao Dharma Protector and warned Han Wen Gong, and then they were naturally invited by Han Wen Gong to stay at his house.
The Han family was originally a poor family, and Han Wengong was known as the best general of the poor family in the dynasty.
But the poor family does not refer to common people, but to the aristocratic family whose family status is in decline. Han Wengong's father and brother were both officials in the court, but he lost his father when he was three years old and was raised by his elder brother, who was demoted.
When Han Wengong became famous in both the government and the public, the declining family status was naturally revived.
This old house of the Han family was also renovated and expanded, and became the residence where Han Wengong spent his remaining years after he became an official.
Just the courtyard designated for Guan Luoyang and his family to live in has a garden pavilion, a pond corridor, blue bricks and black tiles, carved doors and white walls.
Several people have their own lotus flower drains in their houses. When calculating the time, outside the window there is a clump of sword bamboo or an old plum tree.
There was a wicker chair under the plum tree, covered with soft fox fur, and the amphibian lay on it, listening to the song while exercising his activation contract.
The superpowers brought by rainbow stones can be regarded as a system with great potential. In the world of "Star Travels", the origin of rainbow stones, there are even seven-star strong men.
It's just that the process of developing these abilities is by no means easy. The strength of many people in that world will always remain where they were when they first obtained the Rainbow Stone. Even if they suffer a huge psychological blow and cannot hold on, it will lead to rainbows.
The stone turns gray and loses its power.
At this time, the advantages of reincarnation are reflected.
After obtaining the Rainbow Stone, Amphibian also practiced a system called "Imagination Energy" in another mission world. Through some exercises that simplify the complex, he can improve the intensity of his thoughts.
After forming a temporary team, he obtained the mind-body method shared by Guan Luoyang. Compared with the "mind-energy" system created by aliens, it appeared to be more personalized and detailed.
His activation contract has gone from controlling gases and liquids to now being able to activate solids and even try to activate light.
The sunshine that filled the courtyard gradually condensed into golden butterflies as the amphibian seemed to be leisurely but actually practiced hard.
One after another, butterflies gathered and flew from his left hand. The shapes made purely of light danced gracefully, like a dream.
After a swarm of hundreds of flying butterflies gathered and circled in the yard, suddenly, several of them flew past the window shaded by bamboo trees and disappeared into the room.
