Exclusive golden branch

Chapter 399

Yuqing really couldn't figure out what the girl was thinking, so she went back to the house and sat down silently.

Although he is a Taoist monk, he has seen many female guests.Girls from ordinary families are not restrained, and they run around at will; those girls from rich and noble families, whether they follow the ancient precepts and don't leave the door without leaving the house, he has seen them all.

But it was the first time he saw Miss Jiang Si like this.All in all...it's hard to guess.

With that heavy package, she didn't know where she was going to carry it or what she was going to do.Yuqing lay on the table and sighed: If he hadn't been poisoned by her, he wouldn't have followed her here!

right!If it weren't for the poison that tasted like sugar pills, he wouldn't have followed.Saying a sentence in her heart again, Yuqing, who was lying on the table, gritted her teeth, and began to take a nap on the table.

This Miss Jiang Si is really too courageous, she doesn't know when she will start to do it, maybe she won't even sleep in the future.

……

In Ruiyuan Temple, a needle falling to the ground could be heard in Jingguan Neijing.

Since the old master of Ruiyuan Temple said his plan, the whole Ruiyuan Temple became quiet.

It's not that they are convinced by the old temple master's plan. After all, many Taoist priests still have disdain on their faces.

Because... there is nothing to say.

A group of Taoist priests have their own thoughts, and they know each other has their own thoughts... This atmosphere of different thoughts always makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

If it wasn't for...if it wasn't for that secret, they, who are not on the same path, wouldn't gather here.

The poisonous snake hovering around Wang Lu "hissed" and looked at the Taoist priests vigilantly and maliciously.The Taoist priest closest to him with a broadsword on his back had a sneer on his face.

Glancing at the poisonous snake "hissing" and spitting out the letter beside him, Wang Lu didn't say a word. Generally speaking, the poisonous thing he raised would not attack people indiscriminately when he was present, not to mention that these people present were not that kind of hands. Ordinary people who have no strength to restrain a chicken, why should he worry about it?

Thinking in this way, he closed his eyes and fell asleep: Yesterday he thought about Dr. Hu from Luomashi who had cured his hair all night, and he didn't sleep well.I'm really sleepy, these Taoist priests are afraid that they won't go back to their Taoist temple tonight, so it's really troublesome to stay here!

The sky was half dark and half dark, I don't know if he was extremely sleepy, Wang Lu's drooping head lowered even more, this reaction...Wang Wu behind him was a little surprised: What's wrong with Senior Brother Wang Lu?Are you that sleepy?But even though it was an accident, I didn't think there would be any problems.

My Taoist temple, what happened when the senior brother dozed off?
The poisonous snake that "hissed" and spit out the letter at the side suddenly turned around at this moment, its bean-sized eyes were red, and it looked inexplicably fierce.Wang Wu instinctively leaned back when he saw it, and pushed the poisonous toad he raised forward.

The words of Master Wuxiao really make some sense to those who raise poisonous things. The poisonous toads he raises are not so poisonous. However, the poisonous snake just kept "croaking" in place, and refused to move forward. I also knew that the poisonous snake was not easy to fool, and it was very scared and cunning.

And this poisonous snake... The poisonous snake raised by Senior Brother Wang Lu is actually very similar to Senior Brother Wang Lu, it is poisonous and fierce, it looks sinister and scary.

Looking at the poisonous snake for a moment, Wang Wu leaned back again: Brother Wang Lu is a human being, even though he is poisonous and fierce, he still takes care of his own people, but this poisonous snake... is not a human being after all, and its animal nature is hard to get rid of. Who knows what will happen!
Fortunately, the poisonous snake with bare eyes just spit out the letter, and after twisting for a while, it seemed to be a little uncomfortable and just seemed to be stretching its body, and turned back again, facing the Taoist priest who was carrying a big sword.

It's better if he didn't meet himself, Wang Wu heaved a sigh of relief, and when he was about to raise his hand to recall his poisonous toad, he heard a rustling tree shadow shaking outside suddenly at this moment.

He didn't think there was any problem: the wind in the mountains is strong, what's so strange about the tree shadows shaking?

But the accident happened suddenly at this time, only an afterimage was captured in front of my eyes, and before everyone could react, the poisonous snake with bare eyes had already bit the neck of the opposite Taoist priest with a big knife on his back.

The Taoist priest with the sword on his back didn't even have time to take off the sword behind him, his face turned from normal to gray, and everyone gasped.

This kind of situation... Taoist Priest Ruiyuan, who has been with poison all the year round, knows it best. The expression of the old temple master sitting on the futon suddenly changed, and he opened his mouth. Before he could make a sound, there were exclamations in the temple up.

A group of Taoist priests who were watching jumped out in shock, and said in surprise: "Ruiyuan Guan, you..."

The fellow Taoist priest who was carrying a big knife waited to react when he came to his senses, and quickly rushed over with the big knife on his back, raised his hand and slashed at the poisonous snake.

With one stab, the poisonous snake split into two parts, and the two parts were still beating continuously, as if "the heart is not dead".

The sound of screaming and running in Guan Nei was chaotic, Wang Wu jumped up instinctively in a panic, and hid aside with his chicken thief's poisonous toad.

Senior Brother Wang Lu with the best understanding has a very poisonous snake. If he is bitten, even if he takes the detoxification pill in time, he will probably be half disabled even if he does not die.

Not to mention that these Taoist priests are not physically unwell and toxic in their view.

You know, these Taoist priests who are not exposed to poisons on weekdays are far less suitable for poisons than they are.Although Wang Wuyang's comprehension of poisons is mediocre, he still has good eyesight. The man with the sword on his back knew that he was going to die just by looking at his face, even taking the detoxification pills was useless.

It's just that the Taoist priests in the other temples don't know this kind of words.The fellow Taoist priest with the sword on his back was panicked, and hurried forward to ask Lao Guan for the main antidote.

The old temple master frowned, and even though he was giving the detoxification pill, he still shook his head and said, "It's no good, biting the heart vein in the neck, it's hard for a god to heal!"

Hearing this, Daoist Daoist's fellow disciple immediately became furious, pointed at the old temple master's nose and cursed bitterly, "Evil villain", then hurriedly ran to Daoist Daoist's side and stuffed the antidote pill into his mouth go.

But the Daoist Daoist's face was so dead that he couldn't even swallow it.By the time Dao Daoist's mouth and nose were forcibly stuffed into the detoxification pill, he was already dying.

No pulse!Daoist Daoist's fellow disciple only felt a stagnation in his chest.

"Brother!"

Several Taoist priests who were watching looked at each other, and they all saw a serious look on each other's faces. They paused for a moment, seeing that the poisonous snake that "will not die" was completely dead, and then walked up to Taoist Daoist with a look on his face. Complicatedly looking at the Taoist priest who was able to wield a big sword on his back a moment ago, he said, "Master Hongwu..."

"Brother, he's dead!" The two fellow Daoist priests looked at each other, put down the Daoist priest, turned around and without thinking, pulled out the knife from the scabbard behind him and slashed at Wang Lu who was still dozing off on the futon. .

Seeing this situation, the face of the old master of Ruiyuan Temple suddenly changed, and he hurriedly called out "Lu Er", "Lu Er" still did not wake up, seeing the moment when the big knife was about to be chopped off, it was Wang Wu who hurried over to kill him. Wang Lula stepped aside and narrowly escaped the knife.

After such a "big move", Wang Lu finally woke up. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked around blankly.

"What's the matter?" For some reason, he seemed to be particularly lethargic today.

what happened?The two knife-wielding Taoist priests were furious when they heard this, and pointed at Wang Lu angrily: "You..."

Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Wang Wu hurriedly pointed to the poisonous snake that had been broken in two and said to Wang Lu: "Senior Brother, the poison you raised..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Wang Lu suddenly questioning him angrily: "Who made a move on my snake?"

As soon as these words came out, it was like dripping water into a hot oil pan, and the anger of the Taoist priests on the sidelines immediately splashed out.

"Too deceiving!"

"The villains of Ruiyuan Temple don't think I'm afraid of you!"

"See if I don't flatten your Ruiyuan Temple today!"

……

Seeing that today's situation is about to end, the old Guanzhu, who has always been protective of his shortcomings, finally spoke out, and reprimanded Wang Lu with the overall situation in mind: "Rebel, the beast you raised killed Daoist Hong Wu!"

Wang Lu: "..." Looking back at Wang Wu, Wang Wu nodded, smiled helplessly, and whispered a few words in Wang Lu's ear. A little disdainful: "This matter is not my business, I did not drive this poison... Besides, this poison took me a lot of energy, I didn't know it would suddenly attack..."

What he said was the truth, he was dozing off just now, how would he know that this poisonous thing would provoke him while he was sleeping, and even be chopped up?
The dead bar poison is small, but the herb energy spent in the past was wasted, what a pity!Wang Lu thought.

He had no feelings for poison, and his reaction was normal, but the meaning that the dead Hong Wudao was better than his fellow disciples was different.

"Ruiyuanguan, you have to explain to me today!"

……

There was a lot of noise in the hall, the package on the girl's back was still bulging, but the weight was much lighter.Although she is not good at martial arts, she has a good nose, ears and eyes.

At this time, listening to the noise inside the temple, the girl looked up to the outside.Among the bushes outside, a huge snake head was lazily looking into the temple at the foot of the white falcon.

It was just that it moved suddenly, and there was a sudden exclamation in the hall.

Jiang Shaoyan looked at the huge snake head, and the snake head looked at her lazily, and then continued to look at the audience, which meant... Even if Jiang Shaoyan didn't raise poison, she seemed to understand its meaning in an instant.

And... quite vengeful!Jiang Shaoyan sneered: This helper came unexpectedly but within reason.

It nourishes the poison all day long, and there will be a day when it will be eaten back by the poison. It... has been waiting for the opportunity!
At this time, a Taoist priest was bitten to death by poison in full view of the audience in the temple. Coupled with the lessons learned by the Taoist priests of Tianquan Temple, I am afraid that the Taoist priests who were watching would no longer believe in Ruiyuan Temple.

Five years ago, the Taoist priests of Tianquan Temple could be killed by poison, and now Daoist Hongwu can be poisoned to death by Taoist priests of Ruiyuan Temple. How can they know that they will not follow in the footsteps of Daoist Hongwu in the future?

People... If they have the same fear of the same thing, they will stand together and start to fight against that thing.

Right now, Ruiyuan Temple has become that thing.

Swords, double knives, whips... The Taoist priests on the sidelines instinctively sacrificed their weapons, and surrounded the Taoist priests in Ruiyuan Temple with vigilant expressions.

In this situation... the old master of Ruiyuan Temple couldn't help but frowned: It's impossible to go on like this!

He really doesn't have any friendship with the Taoist priests on the sidelines, and he won't even blink his eyes when the news of Tianquan Temple's dying veins is heard to him.In the same way, even if the Taoist priests possess unique skills, what fear does he have in the Ruiyuan Temple?It's just that now is not the time to be hostile.

That villain of Ziguang... The old master of Ruiyuan Temple frowned when he thought of this, and finally said that the overall situation was the most important thing: "Everyone is here today because of that secret and the villain Ziguang. ..."

"Then my brother Hongwu died in vain?" The fellow Daoist priest looked back at Daoist Hongwu who was lying on the ground, and said to the Taoist priests behind him with a sad and angry expression, "Today my brother Hongwu will die for no reason. How can you know that others won’t do it tomorrow? You can ignore my senior brother today, but when the fire burns on you tomorrow, I’m afraid no one else will intervene!”

Although these words are suspected of fanning the flames, they are justified.

Seeing the different expressions of the Taoist priests, Wang Lu finally couldn't help jumping up: "I said that I didn't wait for it on purpose. I was dozing off when the poisonous snake attacked. I didn't know that this thing would... "

"It wasn't intentional." One of the Taoist priests holding a long whip licked his lips, and sneered in a strange way: "You didn't mean the death of the Tianquan Temple, and the death of Daoist Hong Wu was also, this poison is yours." How can I know if you are just playing a show?"

……

There was a dispute in the temple, and Jiang Shaoyan looked at the lazy snake head: This move was really clever, so spiritual and vengeful, no wonder Wang Lu was afraid that it would die in Ruiyuan Temple and cause revenge.

But since that secret can make them guard the century-old treasure unshakably, it seems that the temptation to these Taoist priests is big enough... even in the current situation, they will not easily turn against Rui Yuanguan.

"Okay, let's not say a few words!" The old master of Ruiyuan Temple finally spoke out at this time. He looked at the crowd, paused, and then said: "This is my Ruiyuan Temple's fault. After this incident, you can make a condition, as long as I, Ruiyuanguan, can do it, I will never refuse!"

As soon as the words came out, the fellow Taoist priest with the sword on his back sneered, pointed at Wang Lu beside him, and said, "I want him to pay for my brother Hongwu's life, can you also do it in Ruiyuan Temple?"

Upon hearing this, the old master of Ruiyuan Temple immediately frowned and said, "It wasn't Lu Er who did it, it was the snake."

Is that dead snake broken in two?Daoist Daoist's fellow disciple sneered, stretched out his foot and kicked the utterly dead poisonous snake, and said, "What? Are you trying to say that one life has been paid for another life? The life of our Senior Brother Hong Wu is only worth your Rui Yuanguan's life." A thing?"

What he said was really heartbreaking, it was what Wang Lu really thought in his heart, and he couldn't admit it in front of so many Taoist priests, so he snorted coldly and said, "I never said that!"

Of course, this matter cannot be resolved, the old master of Ruiyuan Temple squinted his eyes: But fortunately, they still have one last thing in their hands.

"Ruiyuan Temple can give you the box of Zixu pills that Daoist Chen left in the past." The old master of Ruiyuan Temple said, and when he heard the word "Zixu pills", everyone's expressions changed slightly.

The old master of Ruiyuan Temple stroked his beard, glanced at the people whose expressions changed slightly, and said, "You don't have to wait for the real dragon to return to its place with us, this time Ziguang's matter is resolved, and Zixu Wan will give it to you." you."

Zixu Wan.

These three words also clearly fell into the ears of the girl watching. The mountain wind blew through the treetops, rustling, and the heart of the girl who was blowing was suddenly enlightened.

It was like a crucial piece of the puzzle that I had been looking for, suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.

Zixu Wan!No wonder these Taoist priests were allowed to guard the centuries-old treasures without moving. Even though Dajing was weak, he still didn't move.

No matter how rich and noble the world is, how can it compare to the immortal who asked for longevity?
Jiang Shaoyan sneered, shook her head, a little self-deprecating: Yuqing guessed that these people were for longevity, and she also joked that Yuqing was "vulgar", but now she couldn't tell.

The speculation of longevity is vulgar, but it is undeniable that it always hits people's hearts directly.

It's just that this time it's not the emperor who seeks longevity, but this group of Taoist priests who have gone out of the world to become monks.

There are no records about Zixu Wan in the official history, but there are folk unofficial histories.Well, by the way, Zixu Wan is also related to the Taishi Ling Chen Rang a hundred years ago. The reason she knew it was because the ten thousand volumes of books left by her father Jiang Gong in her previous life also happened to have something about it. The records of Zixu Wan.

This is really... too coincidental.The girl lowered her eyes: I don't know why, but she always feels that Mr. Jiang's collection of ten thousand volumes of books is like a large bunch of keys that are unattended. It came in handy.

Almost all the troubles she encounters can be found in the ten thousand volumes of books.

Her mother was born in Jiangnan Province, and she looks somewhat similar to Dali and the others. Could it be a coincidence?
She didn't think it was a coincidence, but it was a pity that Mr. Jiang had passed away many years ago, and no one would give her the answer.

As for Zixu Wan, Jiang Shaoyan shook his head when he thought of these three words.

There is no record in the official history because Emperor Wen of that time did not use Zixu pill at all, but in the unofficial history, the unofficial history from the people in the palace is that this Zixu pill is a secret medicine practiced by Tai Shiling Chen Rang, which is said to be able to live forever. It was secretly hidden by Chen Rang, ordered by Taishi.

As for the saying of being able to live forever, it is because Taishiling Chen Rang died at fifty in the official history, but decades later, someone in Chang'an is said to have seen Taishiling Chen Rang: "Although he is wearing an ordinary cloth robe, but that The appearance is exactly the same as that of Taishi Ling Chen Rang when he was young." Therefore, the witnesses always thought that it was Taishi Ling Chen Rang who took Zixu Pills to rejuvenate his youth.

This statement seems to be compatible with Unshi's "mysterious" theory, but... Jiang Shaoyan touched her face subconsciously.

Since she, Dali, Xiaoxuebai, and Xiu'er can be similar, can't there be someone similar to Chen Rang?
Everything seems to be related to Chen Rang and Chen Xian.

Besides, she didn't think that if something like Zixu Wan could really live forever, Emperor Wen would let it go.

This idea is actually not only her idea, but also Mr. Jiang's own idea. Otherwise, the word "Zixu" would not be circled in the unofficial history describing Zixu Pills, and a note of "Zixu has nothing" will be made.

Jiang Shaoyan couldn't help but sneer at those Taoist priests with a "non-existent" but sympathetic pill: It seems that not only the position of Ruiyuan temple is particularly special among the seven temples, but also the weight is different .

The old master of Ruiyuan Temple was so old, his face was gray and he looked very bad, but he didn't use any Zixu pills, which shows that this is just a "non-existent" thing.

However, those Taoists believed it!The girl smiled, raised her hand and waved at the big snake poking out her head, and walked towards the backyard wing with a much lighter package on her back.

Right now, it's late at night.
