Chapter 316: The Holy Truth in the Daytime, Diving into Jiayoutan by Night
It was slightly hot in the afternoon, and there were only a few people walking in the middle of Beijing City.
But he said that Li Changyuan watched Ye Sanqiu leave the restaurant, ate some tea soup, sat down for a while, and then got up. He left Beishi and headed east, walked straight into Lixingfang, and came to the gate of Shengzhen Temple.
After learning that the guest Taoist priest had introduced him, and after a few cups of tea, Li Changyuan and Mao Qingyuan, the master of Shengzhen Temple, sat down in a certain quiet room. After exchanging greetings, Li Changyuan smiled and explained the purpose of his visit: "Qing
Fellow Taoist Yuan, we have been apart for five years! I should have been cooking tea, burning incense, and sitting down to talk about Taoism, but I was so wrapped up in worldly affairs that I couldn’t be pure. I came here by chance today, but I wanted to pay my respects to meet a few friends and do something."
Mao Qingyuan also smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Master Changyuan is so polite! I wanted to say goodbye to you from Cuiyundan, but I didn't realize that my temples were already blooming. However, the deafening words of several Taoist brothers are still in my ears, as if it was yesterday. Now I
The new generation of disciples in Guanzhong are all masters of inner alchemy and external alchemy. The book "The Theory of Inner Alchemy of Taoist Sect" is really a reform of the old and a new one, carrying on the past and opening up the future. It is wonderful! The Jingshi here is remote, and there are few pilgrims to disturb it. The real person can do what he wants.
That’s it.”
Li Changyuan saw that Mao Qingyuan was not very good at talking, and seemed to have made an appointment with the master of merit to give a lecture, so he hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted: "Although "The Theory of Inner Alchemy of the Taoist Sect" was written by Gongsun Zhenren and Wu Tianshi, it also has the merits of debates by fellow Taoists on the stage.
In the Alchemy Way, people who seek immortality must continue to seek and understand the true method from generation to generation. If fellow Taoist Qingyuan still has important matters, please go quickly. It’s just that you still need to borrow a few disciples from fellow Taoist friends.
, to spread the message on behalf of the monks."
Mao Qingyuan stood up and said with a smile: "Forgive me, Master Changyuan! I have indeed made an appointment with two merit masters and they are already waiting in the front hall. If Master Changyuan has anything to send you, just ask me, this disciple, to go!"
After that, he explained a few words to a young Taoist priest who was strong, humble and gentle beside him, and then left. However, the young Taoist priest bowed his head and said: "Liao Haiqian, son of Lingchuan, pay homage to Master Changyuan! I don't know what the Master's teachings are.
?”
Li Changyuan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Today I have a lot of work to do, little Taoist friend! You first take my fly whisk to Linji Temple in Dunhuafang and invite Gongsun Zhenren and his disciples to come here to talk. Then go out to the east gate and go to Luocheng.
We are about to set up camp. Please ask Lieutenant Colonel Tan Lingde to send the 'Flying Dragon Team' to come here right now to discuss something."
Liao Haiqian concentrated his attention and wrote them down one by one. Although he was puzzled, he couldn't say much. He quickly bowed again, turned around and left the gate.
According to the laws of the prosperous dynasty, non-officials are not allowed to ride horses. Lixingfang is twelve or three miles away from Dunhuafang. If you go there on foot, you will be in trouble. Liao Haiqian had an idea and went to Beishi first and hired a donkey.
Then he drove the donkey with his whip and ran towards Linji Temple.
Gongsun Xuantong was waiting for orders at Linji Temple with his disciples. Hearing that Li Changyuan was waiting for him at Shengzhen Temple, he guessed that there must be a reason for the incident. After leaving Wu Zhengjie for a while, Yu Chiyuan and others rushed to Lixingfang with a group of disciples.
.
Five years ago, there was a martial arts performance in Taiwei Palace. Liao Haiqian and Huang Shuo had never known each other before they fought, and they were also familiar with Zhuo Songtao. When they met at this time, they were naturally very warm. The three of them crowded together on the donkey cart and talked.
Laughing, Sun Hunian and others were surprised.
The three of them talked about Fang Qidou, Tang Juan, and Xiao Zhan, who had emerged from the Zhaitan martial arts practice, and then talked about some recent developments they had seen and heard. They were both sighing and sighing, and it felt a bit like meeting old friends again. Just sitting there
Gongsun Xuantong and Han Fengqiao who were in front of the car couldn't help but smile.
Liao Haiqian suddenly laughed and said: "Junior Brother Huang, I remember that there was also a Junior Brother Chong Lingzi. That year he took my wooden sword and cut Hanakiko in the butt... Hahaha! I don't know why he didn't go down the mountain this time?"
Huang Shuo was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer, but he heard Zhuo Songtao laugh and say: "You mean Junior Brother Yang? He is also in Luoyang! He has been in the limelight recently, don't you know? Junior Brother Yang was there that day
Tongyuan Canal..."
"The weather is getting hotter. Ming Lingzi, in front of you is Luoshui. Go to the waterside and wet this square handkerchief and bring it to the temple master to wipe his sweat." Han Fengqiao, the son of Chengxu, saw that Zhuo Songtao was speaking a little uncontrollably.
He hurriedly changed his topic and handed him a linen handkerchief.
Zhuo Songtao knew he was talkative, so he hurriedly stuck out his tongue, took the handkerchief and jumped out of the car. Speaking of what Junior Brother Yang has done recently, it has often been contrary to what Taiwei Palace wants. His junior brothers privately admire and appreciate it. If he goes out,
If you talk about it loudly and take pride in it outside, wouldn't it only make Taiwei Palace angry?
The donkey cart passed the pontoon bridge and returned to Shengzhen Temple in a short time.
Gongsun Xuantong and others met with Li Changyuan and found out that they were going to the Qingguan Taoist priests to put on their regular clothes and search for traces of Zoroastrian boats along the Luoshui River. After finding the location of the boats, they would spread out to the surrounding areas and search for nearby boats.
Find out the city structure, street distribution, bad guards patrolling the streets, replacement of city gate guards, frequency of opening and closing of water gates, etc., and then report them to Li Changyuan.
It's a bit like meticulous work, but it's not difficult.
Gongsun Xuantong immediately agreed. He immediately ordered Han Fengqiao and his disciples to change into regular clothes, take off their swords, and go to search along the Luoshui River. He sat down in front of the tea table and talked carefully with Chang Yuan.
Let’s talk about some recent arrangements in Tongyuan Canal.
About an hour later, Liao Haiqian rode back on his donkey. On his right was a general wearing leather armor and a red scarf wiping his forehead. He was Wang Zhen, the leader of the flying dragon team in the camp.
Wang Zhen seemed to be quite familiar with Li Changyuan and Gongsun. He just clasped his fists and sat down on the side of the tea table: "I wonder if Master Changyuan has urgently summoned the general to come here. What's the mission?"
When Li Changyuan saw that Liao Haiqian had left early, he stood up and closed the door and window, and then said seriously: "Pindao had several friends in the Zoroastrian religion, and they died in a fight outside the city yesterday. Now their bodies are thrown in the cabin of a boat.
They are not allowed to be buried. I know that all the "Flying Dragon Team" in the camp are very good at water. I specially ask Team Wang to lead some flying dragon soldiers to move the corpses of those friends out of the boat and transport them to the outside of the city. By then,
Someone will take care of you."
After Wang Zhen heard this, he couldn't help but show fear on his face, and immediately stood up and clasped his fists: "Master Changyuan, forgive me! This matter involves the battle between Taiwei Palace and Zoroastrianism, and the general will not dare to send troops without authorization. Besides, the boat was the same person who was shooting on foot last night.
The infantry team entered the city under their noses. When we returned this morning, the infantry and archery team had just eaten sixty military sticks and are now lying in the camp recovering from their injuries..."
Li Changyuan frowned slightly, took out a bronze talisman from his arms, threw it in front of him and said, "Wang Captain, do you recognize this talisman?"
Wang Zhen felt a chill in his heart and hurriedly picked up the bronze talisman and looked at it carefully. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "This... this is the tiger talisman of Prince Xiping. How could it be here with the real person? The general will be convicted! The real person has an order, that is.
Even through fire and water, I will never dare to resign!"
Li Changyuan nodded slightly and said: "This tiger talisman is a talisman issued by the King of Xiping County a few days ago to clean up the aftermath of the tragic disaster in Tongyuan Canal, and authorized Pindao to do things for his own convenience. Pindao has his own thoughts on how to handle the current situation in the city. Besides,
It’s not like asking the flying dragon soldiers to brazenly snatch the body. Since you are good at water, you might as well swim aboard the ship at night, or climb in along the hook rope, or cut through the bulkhead... How to do it, you don’t have to
Can Pindao explain it in detail?"
Wang Zhen held up the tiger talisman, and cold sweat broke out on his head and neck: "I will understand! It's just that after the body is transported out, if you go through the eight city gates, you may not be able to hide it from Taiwei Palace's informants, so you have to take the waterway. It's better." Master Xu Changyuan will clear the water in advance and tell you which water path we will take at the end."
Li Changyuan took the tiger talisman and smiled calmly and said: "This is easy! Pindao has been working in Tongyuan Canal recently and has a lot of contacts with the Du Shui Supervisor, so he asked him to inform his canal chief to let him go. At that time, you will find the boat. Just cover up the body and leave the city through the drainage canal."
When Wang Zhen saw that Li Changyuan had planned everything clearly, he put down some caution, clasped his fists in salute, and was about to retreat.
But Li Changyuan raised his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Team Wang can have some refreshments right now. Pindao has sent people along the Luoshui River to find the whereabouts of the boat. You might as well wait a while before leaving."
At three o'clock the next day, the whole city of Luoyang was already asleep.
The mist is thick on the Luoshui River, and the fishing fires are dim. Occasionally, river fish jump out of the water, splashing with water, piercing the tranquility of the night.
A huge black boat has long been pulled into Jiayou Lake. Several bad guards are scattered around the pool, leaning against tree stumps and taking a nap. The water in the pool is microwaved, imprinted with the dim moonlight, and sometimes ripples appear. , I don’t know if it is a water bird or a spring frog.
Suddenly a group of black clouds passed by, completely covering the crescent moon. Even the shadows of the trees melted into the night, and the initial outline could not be seen clearly.
The sound of slight footsteps, stepping on the grass, quickly moved closer to several bad guards. When they got close, they decisively took off the bamboo tube from their waists and blew into the mouths and noses of the bad guards. The bad guards immediately tilted their necks, but they passed out.
The person who took action carefully sneaked into the pool, like a hunting pig dragon, slowly pushing towards the boat...
Wang Zhen held up the tiger talisman, and cold sweat broke out on his head and neck: "I will understand! It's just that after the body is transported out, if you go through the eight city gates, you may not be able to hide it from Taiwei Palace's informants, so you have to take the waterway.
