The monks who blocked the way were stopped by the black-turbaned Jixian Division officers, allowing Rong Fei and Murong Canghai to reach the main entrance of Jingyuan Houfu unimpeded.
An armchair was placed on the stone steps in front of the main entrance, and sitting on the armchair was an old man in gray clothes.
When Rong Fei and Murong Canghai came closer, the old man didn't get up, he just sat on the armchair and said with a smile and cupped hands.
"I, Liang Kuan, have met Uncle Fencheng."
"Young man Rong Fei has met Senior Liang."
Don't reach out to hit the smiling person. Even if the two parties are enemies rather than friends, Rong Fei will still respond respectfully.
"This little Taoist priest has an extraordinary aura, and there is a sense of pride in his eyebrows. His background must not be simple, but he is a disciple of Qiankun Guan? Who knows who he is? Maybe your master and I have some friendship."
Liang Kuan turned to greet Murong Canghai.
Murong Canghai saw that Liang Kuanci had a kind face and kind eyes that didn't seem to be fake. After pondering for a while, he still replied coldly.
"Father Murong Yun."
"Murong Yun..."
Liang Kuan muttered, frowned and thought for a moment before shaking his head.
"Never heard of it."
After saying that, regardless of the extremely ugly look on his face, Murong Canghai turned his gaze back to Rong Fei and said.
"I've said it before, how can you hide the trick of substituting things from someone like Fen Chengbo, who is an expert in solving cases? It's just a joke."
"Senior, thank you very much."
Rong Fei replied very humbly.
"Junior has a question. Is the senior's teacher named Huang?"
Rong Fei's question made Liang Kuan startled.
"Why did Uncle Fencheng ask this question? Could it be that he has some connection with my teacher?"
"Senior's teacher is really named Huang!"
This time, Rong Fei was stunned.
When he heard the old man calling himself Liang Kuan, Rong Fei naturally thought of the names Huang Feihong, Zhu Zhurong, and Thirteenth Aunt. So he couldn't help but joked casually, could it be such a coincidence?
"no."
Liang Kuan shook his head and said.
Then he thought for a moment with a look of reminiscence in his eyes, and shook his head heavily a few times.
"Master... his surname should be Chen... right? Hey, I'm old, so my memory is useless."
Rong Fei rolled his eyes when he heard this, "If your surname is not Huang, what nonsense are you talking about."
"The old immortal has... been dead for nearly fifty or sixty years. You should not know him at your age. But I still have some friendship with Mr. Yu of your Immortal Division. Based on this, Fen
The call "Senior" given by Uncle Cheng is just right. As a senior, I have something to ask, and I hope Uncle Fencheng can tell the truth."
"Senior, it's okay to ask. I will tell you everything I know."
"I heard that tonight is the time for Fencheng Bo's bridal chamber to be decorated with flowers and candles. Why don't you come here instead of spending the night with the bride at your house?"
Liang Kuan asked.
"Senior, I was joking. It's just an engagement. It's still early for the wedding ceremony. As for why I came back here, I actually benefited a lot from being with Jingyuan Hou during the day. I thought that Jingyuan Hou would go there in a few days.
We are suppressing bandits in the southern border. I don’t know if we will meet again until the Year of the Monkey or the Horse. I am anxious, so I want to rush to Jingyuan to ask for more advice before I leave the capital."
Rong Fei replied seriously.
"Well, this lie is quite reliable."
Liang Kuan nodded in approval.
"The old guy is stalling for time. Third brother, don't talk nonsense with him anymore. I'll hold him back while you do your own thing."
Rong Fei and Liang Kuan were chatting animatedly, but Murong Canghai, who was beside him, became a little impatient and spoke to Rong Fei.
"Don't be impatient, little Taoist priest. Listen to what I have to say."
Liang Kuan waved his hands towards the two of them when he heard this.
"I just said that I have some friendship with Mr. Yu, but in fact, I am on a high level. Twenty years ago, I offended a big shot that I couldn't afford to offend and was hunted down by him. Fortunately, I was rescued by Mr. Yu outside the city of Kyoto.
, this way the dog’s life was saved. Later, Mr. Yu recommended the old man to join the worship service.
Tang, was able to survive to this day.
I owe you a huge favor to Mr. Yu. Mr. Fencheng is Mr. Yu’s chosen successor. That’s why I can’t bear to see you fly into flames and seek your own death today. I want to persuade you to go beyond your capabilities.
advise.
Uncle Fencheng, someone wants to take your life. If you retreat now, I can still keep you safe. But if you insist on going your own way, it will be a recipe for death."
"Misunderstanding, it's really a misunderstanding. I just want to listen to Jingyuanhou's teachings again. How come it has anything to do with life and death? If you don't believe it, look, I even brought wine."...
Rong Fei explained without changing his expression and his heart did not beat. After speaking, he took out a bottle of monkey wine from the storage jade ring to prove that he was really not lying.
"Hey, it seems that Uncle Fencheng still doesn't trust me. That's it, Uncle Fencheng can do what he wants."
With that said, Liang Kuan stood up and walked down the steps with his hands behind his back.
Upon seeing this, Rong Fei and Murong Canghai quickly took a step back and were on full alert.
"Oh! Why bother."
Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Liang Kuan shook his head, sighed, turned around, and walked to the right.
"Old Li who is guarding the north side has a pretty good relationship with me. Let's see if I can help you delay some time and return a favor to Mr. Yu. There are also fourth-grade monks in the mansion to protect you. You two... alas,
Young people are too impulsive."
Seeing Liang Kuan's figure disappear into the night, Rong Fei and Murong Canghai couldn't help but look at each other.
"Is it a scam?"
Murong Canghai asked in a low voice, making a handprint with his right hand hidden in his sleeve.
"No matter what, let's go in first and talk later."
Rong Fei said in a deep voice and took the lead to step onto the stone steps.
In front of the door was the armchair where Liang Kuan was sitting, and the two of them separated to the left and the right to go around.
When he walked to the armchair, Murong Canghai suddenly waved his sleeve and hit the back of the chair, and bright yellow flames spurted out from the fingers of his right hand hidden in the sleeve.
"Wow, wow...the three flavors are really hot, and the calf nose is so ruthless."
The chair immediately burst into flames as soon as it touched the flames, and a figure rushed out from under the chair, screaming strangely.
It was Liang Kuan who had just left.
"Humph! I knew you didn't have good intentions."
Murong Canghai, who had endured it for a long time, gave Rong Fei a wink, then made a mudra with each hand and recited the spell.
"Heaven and earth are infinite, and the universe is borrowed from the law."
Then each palm fired a palm thunder towards Liang Kuan.
Rong Fei, on the other hand, rushed into the gate of the Hou Mansion without looking back.
Liang Kuan, who was a little embarrassed by the real fire of three flavors, stopped six or seven feet away from Murong Canghai, then waved his arms and threw two objects from his sleeves.
The two objects swelled up in the wind, and when they landed, they turned into two exquisitely crafted puppets, which just happened to resist the thunderbolt in Murong Canghai's palm.
The lightning from the palm struck the puppet's body, leaving only a small scorched black mark, but it failed to cause any actual damage.
"You are such a naive person. I have good intentions to advise you two, but you are going to do this to me. You are so arrogant, and I am so angry."
Liang Kuan pointed at Murong Canghai and cursed angrily.
