Everyone in the lobby was stunned, holding their breath and concentrating. They had just escaped from danger, sat down and carefully sorted out the causes and consequences, and suddenly discovered with respect that this matter has a long history, is complicated, and cannot be explained clearly in a few words.
The Lingshu Taoist cast his gaze on Xiaolong and asked with a smile: "I see that you have unique bones and abundant spiritual power. You are definitely not a human from our clan. May I ask where you come from?"
However, Sima Ruiyuan was worried that Xiaolong would have a bad temper and collide with Taoist Lingshu, so he hurriedly said: "Taoist Master, you don't know, he is Xiaosi's new disciple! His name is Xiaolong!"
After hearing what she said, Ling Shu remembered and asked, "By the way, why don't you see Xiao Si?"
Ling Wanjun smiled bitterly and said: "He will arrive soon. This child is in a bad mood. Let him be alone first."
Lu Qinglin said: "Master Lingshu, today's Xiao Si is no longer what he used to be. His profound magic power must not be inferior to yours!"
Ling Shu stroked his beard and smiled and said: "To be able to subjugate such a spirit who has practiced Taoism for thousands of years, of course I am willing to be defeated!"
At this time, Xiaolong said angrily: "Old man, who do you think is a monster?!"
Ling Shu stroked his beard and smiled without saying a word. Sima Ruiyuan hurriedly stopped Xiao Long and said: "Don't be rash, be careful if your master comes back and beats you up!"
Ling Wanjun said: "Brother Lingshu, this kid Xiaosi behaves unexpectedly, do you still remember that white jade roar?"
Lingshu thought for a while and then said: "Is it the little beast that was sacrificed to Qinglong on New Year's Eve last year?"
Ling Wanjun said: "Yes, there was a chaos in the villa at that time. After we left the cave, the little beast was rescued by him. Now he is like a lively dragon and a tiger, and he is very close to Xiaosi!"
Lingshu was startled, and a flash of light came out of his eyes, directed towards Ling Wanjun's cheek: "Brother Wanjun, do you know why I must kill that white jade roar?"
Ling Wanjun saw the sudden change in his expression and couldn't help but stayed for a moment, wondering: "Why is this?"
Lingshu said in a deep voice: "Brother Wanjun, have you forgotten what happened at Waqiao Pass?"
Ling Wanjun pondered for a moment, then suddenly slapped his forehead and asked in surprise: "Could it be that white jade roar?"
Ling Shu frowned and said seriously: "How powerful was Taoist Tu Tian with his measuring ruler back then? My Lord visited the Southern Tang Dynasty three times. If it weren't for him sitting in charge, the small country of the Southern Tang Dynasty would have been destroyed by me, the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Later, in the battle of Waqiao Pass, Taoist Tutian broke into the camp alone, and there was this white jade roar squatting on his shoulder. Brother Wanjun, have you forgotten?"
Ling Wanjun said in a trembling voice: "Brother Dao, do you think that White Jade Roar is the one Xiao Si has now?"
Lingshu said: "If my prediction was correct, it should be that one. So a few days before New Year's Eve last year, I found it in the Valley of the Kings in the Khitan Tuxin River, so I captured it and attached a charm to it as a tribute.
To His Majesty."
At this time, Yan Feixue opened the door and came in, pouring hot tea for everyone. Ling Wanjun personally filled the spiritual book, and then said: "It's just that now it has been adopted as a pet by Xiaosi, and he has also given it a name.
Xiaowu. I think that little thing is not too wild, and he listens to what Xiaosi says."
Ling Shu took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Since Xiao Si has accepted it, let's accept it. At least it can be regarded as a strength we have accumulated."
Ling Wanjun said: "That's true. Now Xiaosi not only has the white jade roar of the mythical beast, but also has the fairy weapon Wind and Thunder Thorn, which has great power. He is no longer the little kid who only knows how to play!"
Lingshu smiled slightly, nodded and said: "I have heard that Master Xiu mentioned this to me earlier. The wind and thunder thorn was made by Master Biwu with the power of wind and thunder in the early years. Xiaosi can have this fairy weapon, it is considered
He has great fortune!"
Sima Ruiyuan saw the two of them praising Xiaosi one by one, and he couldn't help but said anxiously: "Two old men, please stop praising Xiaosi endlessly! Let's talk about Zhang Yongde. What happened to him?
Why do Qing'e and Zhang Cheng have to kill Brother Lu?"
Lingshu looked at Lu Qinglin and suddenly asked: "Brothers of the Lu family, what do you call your father?"
Lu Qinglin said: "My father's name is Lu Ding, and his courtesy name is Fanwen. Zhang Chengcheng wants to kill me because I am Lu Fanwen's son."
Hearing this, Ling Wanjun and Ling Shu were both shocked, opened their eyes wide and said, "Your father is Lu Wenwen?!"
Lu Qinglin asked curiously: "Yes. Is there any problem?"
Ling Wanjun's beard was waving, and he was a little excited: "You have lived in my villa for so many years, and I didn't know that you were the son of Wen Wen. Is your father okay?"
Lu Qinglin said: "My father is still in good health, but his legs and feet are not very flexible."
Ling Wanjun sighed and said: "I know that his legs are disabled, and it has been hard on him these years."
Lu Qinglin said: "Uncle Ling and dad know each other, right? You are both subordinates of Emperor Chai Rong of the Great Zhou Dynasty, right?"
Ling Wanjun glanced at the spiritual book, then looked at Priest Qingxiu beside him, and said slowly: "Did you know that Emperor Chai Rong of the Great Zhou Dynasty has four great guards?"
Lu Qinglin shook his head quietly, and Sima Xingtian stroked his beard and said: "I have heard a little bit about this. I think Emperor Shizong was benevolent and heroic, and he was the most accomplished emperor in the Five Dynasties period. He had hundreds of generals under his command.
There are so many, but the four personal guards among them are all highly skilled in martial arts. It seems that you and Brother Yan are among them, right?"
Hearing his praise of Chai Rong, Ling Wanjun, Lingshu and Qingxiu Priest all smiled knowingly. Ling Wanjun said: "You are right. Your Majesty has four great guards around him, namely Yan Guichen, Lu Ding and Shi Yanchao.
With me, Qinglin, your father is my second brother, and the four of us brothers are as close as flesh and blood."
Sima Ruiyuan smiled and said: "So Uncle Ling, you are the youngest among the four guards?"
Ling Wanjun said: "Yes, I am ranked last, Feiyun's father is ranked first, and Qinglin's father is ranked second."
Sima Ruiyuan added: "But, what does this have to do with Zhang Cheng and Qing Ge? What hatred do they have against Brother Lu's father?"
Ling Wanjun gasped and said, "It's a long story. Brother Lingshu, please tell me."
"You rest for a while, let me talk." Lingshu saw this and smiled slightly, "When Taizu Emperor Guo Wei was still alive, he liked Zhang Yongde very much because he was brave in battle, had surprising ideas, and often had extraordinary opinions, so he let him
He is responsible for checking in front of the acting palace..."
When everyone heard him mention "checking in front of the palace," they looked at each other and thought that Xiao Si had also been given this position by Xiao Chuo. It seemed that this title was copied from the Han people.
Lingshu didn't know what everyone was thinking, so he continued: "In the third year of Guangshun, Emperor Taizu became seriously ill and knew that he would die soon. The ministers in the court were all speculating on who he would appoint as the new emperor. Emperor Taizu
He originally had two sons, but they were both killed by Emperor Yin of the Han Dynasty Liu Chengyou, and there was no direct bloodline anymore. The two people he was most proud of were Shizong Chai Rong and Zhang Yongde. Of these two, one was adopted by him.
The nephew and the other his son-in-law had equal prestige in the court, and it was difficult to distinguish between them. Emperor Taizu had difficulty making a decision for a while.
"But at this time, in the twelfth lunar month of the third year of Guangshun, New Year's Eve was approaching, Emperor Taizu was having a banquet with his ministers in the Yongning Hall despite being ill. Suddenly, a blizzard fell, a strong wind blew, and a flash of lightning suddenly struck outside the door. We were waiting
They were all shocked. It could only snow in the coldest month of winter. Why did Li Shan appear? So they all ran out to see. Emperor Taizu also let the eunuch support him and walked out together. They saw that there was already a sheet of snow in front of Yongning Palace.
, it is normal for snow to fall in the twelfth lunar month, but just when Emperor Taizu was about to turn around and return to the palace, a huge thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, and everyone was shocked. Looking back, they saw the huge thunder in the palace.
A piece of the square brick in front was blown to pieces, and a wooden board was vaguely exposed inside...
"Emperor Taizu hurriedly ordered people to dig out the wooden board from the soil, and saw a line of words written on the wooden board - Check out the intentions of hiding evil, and continue the orthodoxy among sons and nephews.
When Emperor Taizu saw this wooden sign, his expression suddenly changed, and his body could not stop shaking a few times. I and other ministers looked at each other, not knowing where this wooden sign came from, but as soon as it appeared, the kingdom of Zhou Dynasty would definitely appear.
Change. Sure enough, three days later, Emperor Taizu issued an order to demote Zhang Yongde as the governor of Chuzhou and establish Chai Rong as the crown prince to continue the great Zhou Dynasty. On June 19, Emperor Taizu died in Bianliang, and
Zhang Yongde, however, was demoted to Chuzhou. From then on, he lived a depressed life and was no longer seen by outsiders. The thunder tablet has also become a difficult mystery among our group of people."
Lu Qinglin suddenly asked: "Isn't it a bit aggrieved that Zhang Yongde was demoted just because of this magic card? What is going on with this magic card?"
Lingshu gave a wry smile and said: "Who knows what happened to the God of Thunder? Maybe it was destiny, or someone deliberately framed it. In short, Zhang Yongde was harmed by the Thunder God, and my lord Chai Rong was also harmed by it.
He ascended the throne of Emperor Zhou openly and openly."
Lu Qinglin couldn't help but said: "But what does this have to do with my father? Why do they want to put this account on my head?"
Lingshu said: "My dear nephew, do you know who among the four guards around my lord Chai Rong is the most resourceful?"
Lu Qinglin was startled, thought for a moment and said, "I don't know this. Could it be that he is my father?"
Ling Shu stroked his sparse beard and smiled: "Of course, among the four guards, the one who is called Little Zhuge is your father, Lu Ding. At that time, Emperor Taizu was seriously ill, and my lord Chai Rong and Zhang Yongde were fighting openly and secretly.
, all want to win the throne, so some people say that it was your father Lu Ding's plan to bury a wooden sign in front of Yongning Hall to slander Zhang Yongde, so his descendants will put the blame on you.
"
When Lu Qinglin heard this, he already understood the general idea, but he still said doubtfully: "My father has been upright and upright in his life, how could he do such a thing? Besides, it was originally the twelfth lunar month of winter, and there was a heavy wind and snow in front of Yongning Palace. It was from the sky.
A thunder exploded a hole in the ground, how could my father be so capable of driving away thunder in winter?"
Lingshu smiled and said: "Xian Nephew, do you know what other talents among the arrogant guards have? Who among these four is the best?"
Lu Qinglin thought for a moment and said hesitantly: "I have never met Shi Yanchao, but from what I can see, Old Man Yan should be the most capable, right?"
At this time, Ling Wanjun calmed down his energy and blood, and said slowly: "Qinglin, actually among these four people, I am the most incompetent one. Although your old man Yan has outstanding martial arts skills, he is not the most powerful. Among the four of us,
The most capable person is undoubtedly my third brother Shi Yanchao!"
"That's right," Lingshu said. "The third master, Shi Yanchao, is the most proficient in strange and obscene arts, and his kung fu is extraordinary. He cannot be matched by the other three people. So some people may think that it is your father, Lu Ding, and
Shi Sanye conspired to set up a poisonous plot to frame him, Zhang Yongde. You must know that with Shi Yanchao's ability, it is not difficult to transport wind and thunder in winter!"
Sima Ruiyuan listened for a long time and suddenly thought of the crazy monk in the Zen room, so he winked at Yan Feixue and whispered: "You guys talk, I'll go see the great monk."
Yan Feixue said: "I will go with you."
Sima Ruiyuan smiled and nodded, and the two held hands and walked out together. Ling Shu looked at the backs of the two women and said, "When you arrived just now, I didn't see the great monk very clearly. He seemed to have fainted, right? He
who is it?"
Lu Qinglin said: "That great monk, whose name is Chipian, claims to be Xiaosi's uncle, and he cares about Xiaosi the most!"
Ling Shu asked curiously: "Crazy monk? Dare I ask him what his lay name is?"
Lu Qinglin couldn't help but look at Sima Xingtian. Sima Xingtian stroked his beard and said, "If my guess is correct, the great monk's lay name should be Ren Tianliao!"
Ling Shu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he jumped up from his chair: "Where is he? Take me to see him quickly!"
Ling Wanjun said in confusion: "Brother Dao, why are you doing this? I have never seen you so excited?"
Lingshu waved his hands and said, "Go and see the great monk first, and I'll tell you when I get back!"
Seeing that he was so solemn, everyone no longer asked any more questions, and immediately left the lobby and went straight to the meditation room on the east side. Master Qingxiu opened the door first, and saw the stupid monk still lying lifelessly on the bed.
Next, Sima Ruiyuan and Yan Feixue stood with frowns, both of them silent. Lingshu took three steps and two steps at a time, quickly came to the bed, looked at the crazy monk carefully, and couldn't help clasping his hands and laughing: "Haha,
God helps me, God helps me!"
Ling Wanjun asked doubtfully: "Brother Dao, what do you mean by that?"
