What kind of people are in this Taoist temple?
Most of the disciples accepted by the Taoist temple are orphans. Since the abbot's surname is Su, they all have the surname Su as well.
The abbot would leave the temple and travel around the world once every three years. If he met a martial arts genius, who happened to be an orphan, he would bring him back. There were hundreds of disciples in the Taoist temple now, but only eight of them were taught by the abbot himself, and Su Mo was the last one.
The rest of the third-generation disciples were taught by Su Mo's senior brothers and sisters, and the abbot never interfered in this because he was very busy.
As for what the abbot was busy with... Su Mo's expression was very strange, and he didn't tell Fu Xiaoguan.
Well, there are few normal people in this Taoist temple, from the master to the disciples.
The four of them drank and went back to their rooms. Su Jue continued to meditate, Su Rou continued to embroider, but Su Mo ran out with a sword and danced with it in the heavy snow. Fu Xiaoguan watched for a long time, shook his head, and went back to his room.
They are both Quanzhen Thirteen Swords, so why is there such a big difference?
Fu Xiaoguan thought about what happened in the palace today, took out the golden sword and looked at it carefully.
The workmanship is extremely exquisite, and the little phoenix on the hilt looks lifelike and almost flying. Well, it looks very good. If you are down and out, this thing can be exchanged for a lot of silver.
He put the small sword in his arms and thought that he had to find time to meet Qin Bingzhong tomorrow. The letter from Qin Chengye was still with him. Qin Bingzhong returned to Shangjing three days earlier than him, so this letter had to be delivered to him.
If Shulan can reach an agreement with her father tonight, she must pay a visit to him tomorrow. Tomorrow is December 28th, and the New Year is approaching, so she has to visit the six major families as agreed.
The so-called lone minister did not affect Fu Xiaoguan's interactions with the six major families. I think Concubine Shang understood the meaning of this, and she must have known his every move in Shangjing.
Of course, he would not believe that since this little sword was given to him, his father-in-law would only be responsible for him that year.
This mother-in-law is very powerful. Qingfengxiyu Tower seems to have been established for a long time. I just don’t know what the other three floors are doing.
He was just curious about this matter, but now that he could obtain information through Xiyu Tower, it was a powerful helper for him.
Next, he would give Eunuch Nian another order: Within the 800-li Dongting Lake of Yuezhou, there was an island with a mountain on it called Junshan. At the foot of this mountain lay a small fishing village where lived a one-armed old woman with a little girl who, according to the time, was estimated to be only six years old.
If what Lin Hong said is true, then this little girl is the daughter of Nan Batian.
Lin Hong didn't know who was the mastermind behind the assassination, but the order came from Yuhuatai - Lin Hong was a member of Yuhuatai, and it was Lin Hong who personally found Zhao Si and Yang Qi to carry out the order, but she did not show up directly.
Lin Hong didn't know much about Tianyuhuatai, but now she thought it was probably the same as Xiyulou. One thing Lin Hong mentioned caught Fu Xiaoguan's attention: the day before the incident, Nan Batian had visited Shuiyue Temple, a contact point for Yuhuatai. Inside, there was only an old nun, who served a statue of Nuwa.
Qin Mowen once told him about Nan Batian that this extremely beautiful woman was once the bodyguard of the Fourth Prince.
She is a tough character with extraordinary martial arts skills and a ruthless heart. Now that she is involved with Yuhuatai, Fu Xiaoguan has to pay more attention to her.
After analyzing it this way, it seemed that the Fourth Prince was behind this matter. The Fei and Xi families were the powerful families that supported the Fourth Prince. Today, he asked Eunuch Nian to investigate Fei An again, just to see how the Fourth Prince would react if Fei An was dealt with.
Of course, Xilou had already found out the result of this matter, and even if he were to dig it up and make a fuss about it now, he wouldn't be able to do anything to the Fei family, because Xilou was not allowed to be seen in public, and he had no right to enforce the law.
But he still did it. Concubine Shang thought it was a warning to scare the tiger, but Fu Xiaoguan's real intention was to alert the snake.
This action is somewhat dangerous. If the tiger is startled out, it may die in its mouth. If the snake is startled out, it may be bitten back.
Dancing on the edge of a knife, Fu Xiaoguan sighed. With such a mess, how could he calm down and practice the Nine Yang Heart Sutra?
…
The next day, the heavy snow stopped and the sky was as blue and clear as crystal.
Fu Xiaoguan continued his morning jog, practiced boxing, took a shower, had breakfast, and then arrived at Taoranting.
The sun had just risen, and it looked as red as the egg yolk we had just eaten.
There is thick snow piled on Xuanwu Lake, sparkling like brilliant stars.
He calmed himself down, and after a few breaths, he sat cross-legged in Taoranting and began to practice the Nine Yang Heart Sutra.
He certainly couldn't compare to that monster named Su Su, but Su Mo actually practiced for three years before he developed a sense of Qi. Fu Xiaoguan felt that he could definitely do it, and should even be faster than Su Mo.
After completing two cycles, he heard hurried footsteps. He opened his eyes, turned around, and saw Dong Shulan flying towards him like a bird.
So he stood up and pounced on him like a hungry wolf.
The bird was caught by the hungry wolf and held in his arms. Su Mo in the distance turned around silently, and Chunxiu, who was carrying a stove, returned quietly.
The poor little bird had been tormented by the hungry wolf early in the morning - Dong Shulan had long forgotten what she had said to Fu Xiaoguan yesterday: you are not allowed to touch me again before we get married.
Of course, Fu Xiaoguan didn’t take it to heart at all.
The morning breeze is chilly, which hurts because it's so warm here.
Half an incense stick of time passed before Dong Shulan finally caught her breath, and her face was even redder than the morning sun.
The forbidden fruit hasn't been eaten yet, but the leaves taste so sweet. The taste of the fruit... won't it be fatal?
Waves of white mist gushed out of Dong Shulan's small mouth and landed on Fu Xiaoguan's face, hot and fragrant. "Take your hand away!"
Dong Shulan said in a low voice.
"I won't!"
"You..." Dong Shulan bit her lips lightly, and her eyes seemed to be misty again, "Don't...!"
"Um……!"
She swallowed, grabbed Fu Xiaoguan's neck, and bit him on the mouth.
"ah……!"
"I told you to take your hands away. There's no fog today!"
"Ah..." Dong Shulan let out another low cry. Fu Xiaoguan chuckled and took his hand away. Dong Shulan felt panicky as if a strong wind was sweeping the waves.
What should I do? Every time I see him, I actually look forward to being bullied by him... Am I shameless?
Oh no, I really can't let him do this again. What if, what if, he loses control and does something like that? What will happen then?
Dong Shulan gathered herself together, took a deep breath, and sat across from Fu Xiaoguan. She said carefully, "I already talked to my parents about this last night. My mother still looked unhappy, but my father was calm. He said...if you want to go, then go. Do you want to go?"
"Of course you want to go, let's go now."
"Ah...wait."
"Waiting for what?"
Dong Shulan rolled her eyes at him and waited until she calmed down.
…
A total of ten carriages drove into Dong's mansion and stopped in the front yard. Fu Xiaoguan asked more than 20 servants to move all the gifts, big and small boxes, on the carriages to the front hall.
The guards of Dong's mansion looked at it in surprise, thinking about the rumors they had heard before. It seemed that Master Yan Xiwen was out, and Master Fu seemed to have won.
The old nanny who was welcoming Fu Xiaoguan in the front yard was still the same old nanny. The old nanny stood quietly by and watched Fu Xiaoguan beside the young lady, thinking about when the young man came for the first time at the end of September, the mistress asked him to wait in the front hall, so he waited for the whole afternoon.
According to the boy's character, she thought he would come again the next day, but she didn't expect that he was so bold as to steal the young lady out from the backyard - the young lady was also very brave. If the boy had bad intentions, her life would be over.
As for Fu Xiaoguan, the old nanny couldn't say whether she liked him or not, she just felt that this young man was quite capable. Young Master Yan never came to visit again after that, and the Yan family, who were originally heard to come to the mansion to propose marriage, eventually lost contact.
It seems that the lady has great vision.
Last night, the young lady said that the young man wanted to visit the house. After the mistress returned to her room, she sighed and didn't say another word. I guess she gave in.
The next person to come out was Dong Shulan’s second brother Dong Xiu De. When the boy saw Fu Xiaoguan, he burst into laughter and walked up to him and gave Fu Xiaoguan a hug.
"Brother-in-law, I knew you would win. Now I can finally let go of my worries. And to avoid any more trouble, my advice to you is to get this done with my sister as soon as possible."
Dong Shulan glared at Dong Xiude but didn't say anything in rebuttal. Fu Xiaoguan also laughed and said, "Second uncle, what you said makes sense. Let's discuss this issue with our parents today."
The old lady standing behind had an extremely strange expression on her face, thinking that young people nowadays... are really bold.
"No, where is my elder brother-in-law?" Fu Xiaoguan asked again.
"He was sent to Henan Province as a prefect. He wrote back saying that he had too many things to do and couldn't come back for the New Year."
This surprised Fu Xiaoguan a little. He had seen Dong Xiujing several times, once in the Imperial College. As for who he was, Fu Xiaoguan had never paid attention to him. This guy actually became a big official after being sent out. Perhaps Minister Dong had used some tricks.
He really didn't know that Dong Xiujing was able to be transferred to a remote post and directly climbed to the position of Taotai, and at least half of the reason was due to his influence.
One day in the Golden Palace, His Majesty, against all odds, directly appointed Dong Xiujing as the governor of Henan Province, which surprised and confused the various forces coveting this position.
Afterwards, when the Princess Royal came to Dong's residence, Minister Dong finally understood that this was Concubine Shang's intention.
His son certainly did not catch Concubine Shang's eye, but ever since Fu Xiaoguan came to the capital, Concubine Shang seemed to have her sights on the Dong Mansion. So, his keen sense told him that Fu Xiaoguan was far from being as simple as others imagined.
