Chapter 81: Northern Gun

Say goodbye to Luo Chaoyan and leave the villa.

After walking a few steps, he saw Guan Yunshu's junior sister, the little nun who went to the main hall to inform the authorities. She was holding something in her arms. She looked mysteriously, looking left and right, and approached the courtyard stealthily through the vegetation around the courtyard.

"Didn't you say that no one usually comes to your yard?" Zhao Wumian turned his head to look at Guan Yunshu.

Guan Yunshu frowned slightly, and appeared behind the little nun like a ghost. He lifted her collar with one hand and looked at her. "What are you doing here?"

"Ah! Master, Senior Sister!?" The little nun was shocked and panicked, but when she saw Guan Yunshu, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then raised a rectangular object wrapped in black cloth with both hands, and said naively: "Brother Su helped us drive away those bad guys, so I wanted to find something to repay him, and before I mentioned "Nun..."

Before she finished speaking, Zhao Wumian strode forward and snatched the Illustrated Edition of The Romance of a Nun from her hand, "How did you steal this thing?"

"I thought you looked very interested when you heard me, so I stole it from Senior Sister's drawer~" The little nun giggled when she saw Zhao Wumian, "I knew Senior Sister Guan would never put you in jail, and you are here. I am so smart!"

"Is your narcissism inherited from generation to generation, or did you teach the little girl bad things?"

Guan Yunshu frowned slightly and ignored Zhao Wumian. She put the little nun down and patted her head gently. "Go back after delivering the things. Your brother Su and I have some things to deal with. Don't make it public."

It was an extremely cold winter night, and the little nun's face was red from the cold. Upon hearing this, she looked at Guan Yunshu and Zhao Wumian, and suddenly remembered the plot in "The Nun's Romance"... Well, it was also a nun who ran out with a man in the middle of the night, and then met a fellow sister, and said, "There is something to deal with, don't make it public."

In the book, this seems to be called cheating...

Thinking of this, the little nun suddenly became excited for some reason and patted her chest, "Don't worry, I will definitely not let others know that Senior Sister and Brother Su are having an affair."

Guan Yunshu's face froze slightly, and he subconsciously glanced at Zhao Wumian, then lifted the little nun's collar and gritted his teeth, "Where did you learn such dirty words?"

"Children are ignorant and we have important things to do." Zhao Wumian spoke well of the little nun.

Guan Yunshu took a deep breath, and then put the little nun down as if he had no way to deal with Zhao Wumian. He then took out a handkerchief from his arms and gently wiped her frozen nose, "Go back quickly."

Zhao Wumian glanced at her sideways. It was rare that he saw Guan Yunshu being so gentle.

The little nun laughed and ran nimbly with her short legs, disappearing down the stone steps.

Guan Yunshu looked at Zhao Wumian, "What is that?"

Zhao Wumian quickly stuffed the pornographic book into his arms, "It's just an idle book. My daughter likes to read, so I asked this little master to get me a book to relieve my boredom. I didn't expect that she actually stole one."

Guan Yunshu narrowed his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, and your daughter doctor. You have a lot of names for her."

"Why are you always focusing on something so strange?"

Judging from the direction of the small beetle's impact, Ye Wancang was no longer near Wutai Peak, but was expected to be still on Phoenix Mountain.

Although Xiao Xitian was not as heavily guarded as the palace, it was impossible for the two of them to take half an hour to climb a hundred meters like they did that night in the palace. Otherwise, by the time they reached their destination, Ye Wancang would probably have finished his business and returned home.

At this moment, the sooner the better.

However, with Guan Yunshu, the eldest senior sister of Xiao Xitian, around, there was no need to sneak into the palace in a sneaky and fearful manner like he did that night.

She led Zhao Wumian all the way to where Ye Wancang was.

There are stone pillars on both sides of the stone steps, with lanterns lit on them. The dim light spreads like a long river on the stone steps that stretch as far as the eye can see.

"So many days have passed, and you in Xiao Xitian don't have any clues about this spy?" Zhao Wumian asked on the way.

"The Glazed Tower is a key location in Xiaoxitian. Anyone who knows the details of its defense must be a true disciple like me." Guan Yunshu shook his head calmly, "Apart from the defense map, we don't have any clues."

No matter what era, spies are not easy to detect.

Zhao Wumian hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Where did Ye Wancang come from?"

"He is from Youzhou. His master taught him to be the spear champion, one of the ten martial champions. However, for some reason, he parted ways with the spear champion ten years ago and set up his own school. He has been active in Xiliang, Jindi, and Yanyun, and has made a name for himself as the Northern Border Spear. Liu Yuezhi once invited him to serve the King of Jin, but he declined..."

Guan Yunshu paused for a moment, then said solemnly:
“As the saying goes, a young man is better than a fist, and an old man is better than a staff. Ye Wancang is over 40 years old, in his prime. He has been learning martial arts from the spear master since he was a child. Even though they later parted ways and defected from the sect, he still learned all the true teachings from the spear master, making him an extremely domineering Tianluo spear… Taoist Lingxu is over 80 years old. He is called a master, but his actual combat ability is only about the same as You Junwu. But Ye Wancang is different… If they really fight, ten Taoist Lingxus can’t withstand three of his moves.”

Zhao Wumian was a little surprised. Although Liu Yuezhi almost stabbed his young master Su to death, making Zhao Wumian want to chop off his head, Zhao Wumian had to admit that Liu Yuezhi was indeed a character...A warrior who could be extended an olive branch by him could not be too bad.

Seeing that Yunshu gave such a high evaluation, I think Ye Wancang is at least a first-class master.

"In that case, he must have really reached the critical point, and he is only nine bells away from comprehending the heaven and earth and building the bridge between heaven and earth, so he came to Xiao Xitian."

"It is possible. When you were not here just now, he wanted to capture your female doctor and hand her over to his uncle. He obviously wanted to please us." Guan Yunshu nodded slightly. "But he has been with Taoist Lingxu for three months. There is no guarantee that there will be any problems. It is better to follow him first..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Wumian raised his hand and said, "No need to say more, I will definitely beat him up."

Guan Yunshu glanced at him, then looked away and warned him lightly:
"If anything unusual happens later, remember not to act impulsively. Your injuries haven't healed yet. If you die here in a fight, I won't be able to see your little doctor again." Zhao Wumian laughed, "Of course, I cherish my life very much. If I die in front of you, I'm afraid you won't be able to accept the reality and faint on the spot."

Guan Yunshu frowned, walked forward silently, and didn't want to talk to him anymore.

Guan Yunshu's residence is quite remote. After walking for several hundred meters, there is no sign of human habitation. I think it has something to do with her personality. After walking along the stone steps for a while, I saw more and more disciples of Xiaoxitian wearing monk robes.

When they saw Guan Yunshu, they all greeted him with a half-hand salute.

Guan Yunshu also returned the greetings one by one.

Then they looked at Zhao Wumian and asked tentatively: "Who is this?"

"The guy who just chopped our distinguished guest to pieces." Guan Yunshu seemed a little angry for some reason, and his tone was very bad.

Upon hearing this, the monks were all stunned and couldn't believe it.

Shouldn’t Zhao Wumian be in prison? Why is he walking outside like this?
Zhao Wumian raised his hand, his tone helpless and unwilling, "I was fed cartilage incense and was forced to see Master Dongxuan. Your senior sister really deserves to be the number one. She almost broke my leg in the fight just now."

Guan Yunshu glanced at Zhao Wumian. This guy said that he would make her lie, but every time he acted with her, he would always take the initiative to lie for her.

The monks did not suspect anything, but looked at Guan Yunshu with a little fear, as if they remembered something. Then they put their hands together and bowed to Zhao Wumian.

"Thank you for helping me solve my problem. Master Dongwen doesn't like killing, so you will be fine. We will plead for you and let you go during the morning class tomorrow."

After saying this respectfully, the monks looked at Guan Yunshu again, probably wanting to plead for mercy, but they hesitated and did not have the courage to open their mouths, so they had to say goodbye and leave.

I met many disciples of Xiao Xitian along the way, most of them followed this template.

However, Zhao Wumian did hear their idle chatter, most of which were similar to "The prince might have been poisoned. If we can offer the pearl relic pagoda, can it also be made a state religion?"

Zhao Wumian was slightly stunned. It was normal for one or two people to say this. After all, the matter of Luo Chaoyan had caused such a big fuss, and it was understandable to have such an idea. But why did these monks have the same idea along the way?

You have to know that sometimes it is more difficult for people to understand each other than for people to understand pigs.

If we want to unify our ideas, we must have someone to spread them...

He pondered for a moment, wanting to pin the matter on the spies, but it was also normal for the disciples of Xiao Xitian to want Xiao Xitian to become the state religion. It was human nature, and strictly speaking, this could not be considered a suspicious point.

Guan Yunshu tilted his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Wumian came back to his senses, shook his head slightly, and said, "The monks are very clear about their gratitude and resentment. The high-ranking officials of your Little Western Heaven are so cowardly. I always thought that the disciples were not much different."

"I am both a disciple of Xiao Xitian and a high-ranking official." Guan Yunshu seemed to be in a good mood. He said calmly, then turned and said patiently:
"Uncle Dongxuan knows that you have done evil for Xiao Xitian, so he sent me to take full charge of you. I can take you to the main hall to find him later. No matter what you ask for, we can discuss it. Even if you want Xiao Xitian to support your female doctor, it is not impossible to talk about it..."

Before Guan Yunshu finished speaking, Zhao Wumian asked, "What if I want you to return to secular life?"

Guan Yunshu was slightly stunned, then he hugged his chest with both hands, pretending to be on guard, and glared at Zhao Wumian coldly, "You dirty scoundrel."

"I just asked you to return to secular life, but I didn't say I would marry you. I think you are the one who is vulgar."

Guan Yunshu quickened his pace. His originally good mood was ruined again by Zhao Wumian.

I don't know when I reached a fence, and further ahead was deep in the mountains. There was no light at all, and all I could see was the night, snow, and trees.

The two looked at each other, then tacitly found an empty corner and skillfully put on the white robes they had prepared in advance, dressing exactly the same as when they first went to the palace... The first time is new, the second time is familiar.

Then he jumped into the mountain and disappeared in the snow.

Phoenix Mountain is vast and boundless, and Xiao Xitian only occupies a part of it. It’s not that they don’t want to expand the territory, but the mountain is simply steep and most places are not suitable for living.

The two white shadows looked like ghosts, but they were walking on flat ground in the steep mountains. They looked like human figures at first glance, but after a closer look, it seemed that they were just snow mist raised by the evening breeze.

Guan Yunshu glanced at Zhao Wumian and thought that his Qinggong skills had improved a lot, changing every day. This speed of improvement was enough to make any genius in the world feel ashamed...

It was obviously impossible for any masters from Xiao Xitian to be here. The two of them moved forward at full speed, and soon the little beetle in the porcelain bottle stopped moving.

Zhao Wumian pulled Guan Yunshu, and the two of them immediately lay down in the snow very familiarly, blending into the surrounding snowy scene.

Looking up, I saw that this place was a small hillside, surrounded by snow-covered trees and moonlight pouring down... but there was no one there at all?

The two looked at each other with a little surprise. Zhao Wumian took out the small porcelain bottle, but saw the little beetle starting to push its head to the bottom of the bottle. However, it was obvious that it could not push the porcelain bottle open. As it was pushing, it somersaulted over, then got up and continued to push its head to the bottom of the bottle.

Zhao Wumian put away the porcelain bottle and immediately understood. He lowered his voice and said, "There is a secret passage underneath. There really is something wrong with Ye Wancang."
