Liu Qing’s nominal master is the contemporary Taoist Master, the head of the Yinxian lineage.
But she was the daughter of Jin Zhi Yu Ye, and it was inconvenient for the Taoist Master to keep her with him, so he asked his senior sister Qin Qingyu to pass on the karma and teach the Dharma on her behalf.
Therefore, Qin Qingyu is her mentor, and their relationship is as close as mother and daughter.
Dao Zun is in his early seventies this year. Qin Qingyu is Dao Zun's senior sister, just older than him.
But Qin Qingyu in front of Huo Qubing could not tell her specific age. Some people believed her when she said she was in her early thirties. She had no wrinkles on her face, her hair was jet black, and her eyes were as clear as a spring unstained by dust.
She tied her hair into a bun on the back of her head and simply wore a wooden hairpin through it, giving her a natural and casual look.
She is quite tall, and her tall figure can still be seen from sitting there.
Outsiders also treat Qin Qingyu as a Taoist.
Huo Qubing followed the good advice: "Tao Zun comes to see me. If you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt."
Liu Qing sat neatly opposite Huo Qubing, wearing a rouge-colored Hanfu, with a waist as thin as a willow. When his black and white eyes met Huo Qubing, he winked.
What do you mean... Huo Qubing doesn’t quite understand.
The three of them gathered around a square low mat made of gold silk wood. Qin Qingyu sat upright, while Huo Qubing and Liu Qing lined up on the left and right.
"Why do you think I want to come to you?" Qin Qingyu said.
"Does the Taoist want to join forces with me to find the author?"
"More than that, just because the champion can lead thousands of troops and defeat the Xiongnu in a row, it is worth coming to Chang'an to see him."
Qin Qingyu's voice is slightly deep, with the kind of sedimentation that has been experienced in the world, but also a very clean and clear feeling, and it also does not reveal her age:
"I heard Qing'er say that the champion Hou Fang was only seventeen, and he broke into the realm of military strategists and gods, and formed the Xuanwu weapon talisman."
"Do you know that Qing'er is extremely talented. He was taken into our Yinxian Sect and taught carefully when he was young. He did not enter the heavenly realm until he was nineteen years old and one month old. He has the best qualifications since the establishment of our Yinxian Sect.
One of the people."
"Champion Lord, you are keen on military affairs and often walk in the palace. Your concentration in practice must be far lower than Qing'er's. Moreover, as a military expert, it is the most difficult line to break into heaven and human beings. You must not miss any of the lower nine realms in advance.
, it’s extremely difficult.”
The old Taoist nun did not mince words and continued:
"You still don't know what your qualifications mean. Our Yinxian Sect and other five Taoist sects, including some sects passed down from the Spring and Autumn Period and even earlier, have been looking for a way to enter the void."
"This is the way the Taoist ancestor Laozi walked into the void after leaving Hangu Pass."
Huo Qubing nodded slightly and listened quietly.
There are countless theories about my whereabouts after leaving Hangu Pass, but he is not very interested in these things.
Qin Qingyu continued: "I turned the rainbow, and there are jade treasures in my sect that have recorded it. Over the years, there are often people in the sect who have achieved enlightenment and gained something. It is definitely not false."
You said it was recorded, so you are right...
"As far as we know, the man in the dark is also trying his best to achieve falsehood. Since he was able to deal with the champion once, he must do it a second time."
It turned out that he was interested in me as a bait to attract the secret person... Huo Qubing was thinking about how to find out the author, and only thought of two ways to try. One is to start from the practice at home.
The second is to find clues from other forces related to the author.
This includes Daomen and... Huainan.
The many changes that occurred after the death of Northern Army Lieutenant Liu Huai and the hidden motives behind them must be closely related to Huainan.
In other words, Huainan is also connected with the author who is dormant in the dark.
Both lines currently have manpower, and they are advancing overtly and covertly, hoping to gain something.
Ru Bohu should be using the same method.
The Dao Sect will come to your door by itself, and both parties will benefit from the cooperation.
After Qin Qingyu finished speaking, she took out a round-bellied white jade bottle and placed it on the low mat:
"It is recorded in ancient books that during the Spring and Autumn Period, a giant turtle carrying an ancient monument as high as a mountain was once found in the East China Sea. It entered our country, traveled thousands of miles to listen to the teachings taught by our Taoist ancestors, and opened its mouth to vomit pearls before leaving."
"This elixir is made by scraping off part of the pearl powder spit out by the divine turtle. It is the most suitable for the Xuanwu weapon talisman. If the champion agrees to help me, this elixir is part of the reward."
This elixir was thought to be very precious. The vial seemed to contain an ocean, and the sound of tidal waves could be heard.
Huo Qubing said calmly: "Cooperating with the Taoist sect is something I have been considering for a long time. Cooperation will benefit both parties and there is no need for compensation."
Liu Qing pursed his lips and smiled.
She winked at Huo Qubing to remind him to respect his master and not to covet Taoist things.
Huo Qubing really understood.
"I will ask the emperor to help us as much as possible. That person is secretly causing trouble and interfering in the dispute between Han and Hungary, which is also very harmful to the Han Dynasty."
"How much does Taoist Master know about the person who took away Taozu's scroll?"
"We have been looking for him these years, and now we judge that he may want to gain the power to practice in the Zongheng lineage through the conflict between Han and Hungary."
Qin Qingyu said: "Many of his arrangements may have started before he came to my door.
He is proficient in my Taoist methods and Zonghengshu.
In addition, we also checked the historians and family members, but we did not find any valuable clues."
Huo Qubing: "What else?"
Qin Qingyu said calmly: "My Taoist sect has a technique that can sense the location of the ancestor's stolen scroll."
"It has been many years since the Taoist scroll was stolen. During this period, the breath of the scroll appeared twice, once in Luoyang and once in Chang'an. We analyzed that due to a specific way of practice, the author could not stay away from the crowd and must hide in the busy city. Only in Chang'an
and Luoyang are the most suitable places."
Your Taoist sect has been investigating for more than ten years, and based on the smell, you can guess that the person may be in Chang'an and Luoyang?
"I remember the princess said before that Chang'an is the place where the destiny of the Han Dynasty gathers. Will the power of the secret writer be weakened?"
"Yes, but this does not mean that he will give up Chang'an. With his ability to hide in our Taoist sect for more than ten years, there is still a high possibility that he will be in Chang'an." Liu Qing said.
A quarter of an hour later, when Huo Qubing left Changding Hall, he still had the urge to curse.
What a waste, these Taoist priests outside the country don’t care about the fireworks of the world, they use tricks to pull their hips, they have been looking for them for so many years, and they are almost spinning in circles.
However, their cultivation is really high, and Qin Qingyu's power is bottomless.

Before Huo Qubing left Changle Palace, another vehicle entered Changle Palace shortly.
Going east from Liu Qing's Changding Palace, there is another palace in the complex of Changle Palace, called Pingxing Palace.
After entering Changle Palace, you will arrive at Pingxing Palace.
At this time, two women were sitting in the front hall of the palace, both dressed in gorgeous clothes and looking graceful.
One is Princess Pingyang who came out of Jiaofang Hall and took a car to Pingxing Palace. The other one is wearing a jasper beaded hairpin, and her fair face is very similar to Princess Pingyang.
This is also the sister of Emperor Liu Che and the sister of Princess Pingyang, Longli.
Next to her was a boy of eleven or twelve years old. Although he was small, he was tall and strong, with wild eyes. He was accompanying his mother and his aunt, Princess Pingyang, with a very impatient expression.
Princess Longli married Longlihou Chen Xiang as his wife.
It took many years after marriage to have children, so she is now thirty-seven years old and her child is only eleven.
The couple had a son many years ago, named Chen Ji. He was arrogant and spoiled, and he has been a demon king since he was a child.
For the sake of his son, Long considered living mostly in Chang'an and did not go to his husband's fiefdom.
At this time, the two Han princesses had been talking for a long time, and they said thoughtfully: "Sister, what did you do at Jiaofang Hall before you came to me?"
Now it has been three years since the death of the Queen Mother Wang Na, and all the power in the harem has fallen into the hands of Queen Wei Zifu.
Including some expenses that the clan relatives should have, sometimes they are also controlled by Wei Zifu.
Like her sister, Princess Pingyang, Longli felt somewhat unhappy that she was the daughter of the late emperor and now had to be controlled by a maidservant from back then.
"I will go to Jiaofang Palace to find the queen and marry her nephew who has made great achievements in war."
Princess Pingyang said calmly: "But they didn't take my advice. It seems that they don't like the person I introduced."
"The Wei family will only be favored for a few years."
Princess Longlu sneered and said: "My sister is good-tempered. If it were me, I would have to ask whose influence they relied on. After all, they are just subordinates of my Liu family."
Chen Ji was bored by staying aside, so he suddenly stood up and said, "I have a way to cure him. All I need to do is recruit a few skilled people, find the right moment when no one is around, cover his head and face with a cloth, and beat him down with a stick.
Tell him to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy.
Even if you beat him to death, you still can’t find out who did it.”
Princess Longlu scolded: "Shut up, this is not the place for you to talk nonsense."
Chen Ji waved his hands and said, "There's no need for you to lecture me. Since you're tired of me, I'll just go for a walk." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Princess Longlu sighed and looked back at Princess Pingyang: "Sister, I haven't said who I introduced to Huo Qubing yet. Is it the maid in your house?"
Princess Pingyang smiled: "How can the descendants of the Wei family like the maid in my house?"
"Then who does sister belong to?"
"What do you think of Liu Ling, the daughter of Uncle Wang's family in Huainan?" Princess Pingyang asked.
Princess Longlu chuckled when she heard this: "Sister, you are so clever."
She seemed to understand somewhat what Princess Pingyang meant, and Liu Ling had quite a few secret affairs.
If this marriage is proposed, whether it will happen or not, whether it is appropriate or not, are secondary.
If Huo Qubing disagrees, it means he looks down on the lineage of Huainan King Liu An.
If he agrees, he will become a laughing stock if he marries Liu Ling, and his family will never be in peace.
"How can Liu Ling be said to be a daughter of my clan? Not counting the humiliation of the Huo family, a branch of the Wei family, but the queen didn't agree?"
Princess Longli was very interested: "Why did sister suddenly think of marrying them?"
Princess Pingyang rubbed her brows, and she herself was in a daze: "I don't know why, but I can't control my worries lately. Some thoughts come out and I can't control them anymore. I always feel that some people are hateful."

Huo Qubing left Changle Palace and crossed a long street to Weiyang Palace.
When he came back, there were many cars and horses outside the palace, and most of the people who came to the banquet had already arrived.
He first came to the inner study, and Liu Che was about to go to the front hall, followed by a group of chamberlains.
He put his hands behind his back and walked forward, saying to Huo Qubing: "I weighed in on what I told you last night, and I have decided to give it a try!"
Liu Che's tone was very calm, but in just a few words, he decided to mobilize thousands of troops from the two countries, and a new war began in secret.
"I said before that when you officially go to the battlefield and make meritorious deeds, you will be rewarded when you come back. It doesn't just mean the title of marquis."
Liu Che stretched out his hand to brush as he walked forward.
The interior of a large hall appeared in front of him as if the world was turning around. Several artifacts were taken in by Liu Che and appeared in front of Huo Qubing.
"These are some weapons of great origin collected from the treasury of our Han Dynasty since the Yin and Shang dynasties."
Liu Che waved his hand and said, "See how many of them you can recognize and choose the one you like."
"You can only choose one?" Huo Qubing asked.
Liu Che laughed dumbly: "Look, I'll let you do what you like, but being greedy for too much may not be a good thing."
Huo Qubing looked at several things. The first thing he noticed was a sword, then a spear, and several other items with special shapes!
