Chapter 379 Chapter 10 The past is like smoke

The sound of horseshoes came overwhelmingly, and stopped suddenly outside the door of Donglai Inn. Xu Ziling stood facing the window with his hands behind his back, gazing at the beautiful scenery in the back garden of the inn after the heavy snow.After the sound of horseshoes stopped suddenly, the whole inn fell silent. The sudden silence itself was a kind of heavy pressure, which made people know that something unusual had happened. Xu Ziling said in a deep voice, "Come in! The door is not locked." Li Yuan who was outside the door was slightly startled, and first ordered his subordinates to drive away the residents in the nearby room, then pushed the door open, came behind Xu Ziling, cupped his fists and said: "Li Yuan just learned that elder brother Jiejia is coming, so I came to pay a visit and say hello."

Xu Ziling sneered and said, "Li Yuan, you are the great emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and your unification of the world is just around the corner. It should be Xiaomin Yueshan who bows to you to pay respects to you, which is in line with the rules." Turning around quickly, condensing Yue Shan's mind, his eyes flashed with Li Yuan's eyes. Li Yuan looked up to the sky with a long smile, and said: "Brother Yue, don't try to trick me. No matter what Li Yuan becomes, his love for Brother Yue has never changed. My eldest brother has practiced the method of changing the sun. Today, he will come out of the rivers and lakes and kill Tianjun first. Xi Ying, defeated Lao Huang on the Yuema Bridge again today, and has already achieved immortal fame. My little brother sincerely applauds and applauds you, Big Brother Yue."

Xu Ziling sighed, shook his head and smiled wryly: "The false name in the world is just a dream in the mirror, nothing to worry about! Yueshan is no longer the Yueshan of the past, the past is like smoke, and I don't want to think about the past. Xiaodao, you go back and be your emperor! Yueshan is here today!" I came to Chang'an just to settle accounts with Huang Qisha, maybe I will leave tonight, that's all!" "Xiaodao" is the anonymous name for Li Yuan that was mentioned twice in Yue Shan's posthumous scroll. Since Xu Ziling didn't know what happened between Yue Shan and Li Yuan, he preemptively acted as if he couldn't bear to look back on the past and didn't want to care about it.

In fact, like Zhu Yuyan, Li Yuan never doubted that Yue Shan could be a fake. The most important thing is naturally that the "Dafa of Changing the Sun" can completely change Yue Shan.At this time, when Yue Shan's "small knife" came out, Li Yuan immediately recalled the past, all kinds of emotions came to his heart, and he said in shock: "Brother Yue, don't you blame Xiaodao for the past?" Xu Ziling turned around like a whirlwind, turned his back to the emperor of the Great Tang Dynasty, and said in a deep voice: "Now my biggest wish is to compete with Song Que of the 'Heavenly Sword' again, but before this happens, I need to find Do it alone."

Li Yuan was stunned and said, "Who is this person?" Xu Ziling said word by word: "It's the 'Evil King' Shi Zhixuan, if it wasn't for his despicable methods, how could Xiuxin die with resentment." Li Yuan's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he snorted coldly, "Is Shi Zhixuan still alive?" Xu Ziling said indifferently: "Not only is he not dead, but he is still staring at you. If it wasn't for this reason, how could you see me here, Xiaodao?" Li Yuan's expression finally changed. Kou Zhong patted the child's face, pretending to be modest and said: "It's not a villain, but Mr. Liu's son is suffering from a minor illness, so the two injections are effective immediately, look! The baby's fever is gone!"

Mrs. Liu touched her son's forehead more quickly than Liu Zhenghui, and said happily, "Miraculous doctor Mo is really skilled in medicine, Xiao Nan didn't have a fever!" Liu Zhenghui was overjoyed, and thanked him so much that he said all kinds of words. When returning to the outer hall, Chang He said with a smile: "Let's leave the important task of greeting Brother Mo to Mr. Liu, and I haven't returned to the court guard office for three days." After making an appointment with Kou Zhong to meet at Sha's house in the evening, he left in a hurry. After the two sat down in the lobby, Liu Zhenghui happily said, "I heard from General Chang that Mr. Mo has unique insights into courtyard architecture. I don't know if you have any valuable opinions on my little brother's mansion?"

Kou Zhong thought to himself that you mistook me for Young Master Ling, how could I have any objection, he said with a light smile: "Lord Liu's mansion has a unique design, since he stepped into the gate, he felt that the owner of the house must be Qi Yu Extraordinary, ambitious man." Thousands of wears and thousands of wears, flattery does not wear. Kou Zhong's flattery, although Liu Zhenghui, the recipient of the flattery, also felt that it was a little too much, he was still very happy and said modestly: "How dare you do it! How dare you do it!" Kou Zhong escaped the catastrophe, and casually said: "Although the villain has never read other books except medical books. Hey! In fact, I have read not many medical books, all thanks to my uncle's word of mouth. But I love reading good books since I was young. things. Ha! It may be because the villain is born ugly!"

Liu Zhenghui felt the same, but of course he had to verbally express his disapproval, and said with a smile: "The most important thing for a man is ability and achievement. Mr. Mo is so tall and imposing, ha." Kou Zhong interrupted him with a smile: "Thank you Mr. Liu's praise, the reason why the villain is fascinated by architecture is because the buildings are not only beautiful, but also have practical value, which makes them different from paintings and calligraphy that are only for viewing. Hey! Just like a beautiful woman. Ha!" Liu Zhenghui hurriedly accompanied him to let out a burst of warm laughter.

Kou Zhong knew it was time, and turned to the main topic and asked: "The villain has been eating on the third floor of Fuju Building for the past two days. Looking from there, he found that the buildings around Yuema Bridge are the most distinctive. Did you pay attention?" Liu Zhenghui said happily: "The large and small buildings in Chang'an City must first be approved by our Ministry of Industry, so I know all about these buildings well. I wonder what Mr. Mo wants to know?" Kou Zhong said with a smile: "I am a weird person, when I like something, I will go to the bottom of it, and I will pursue it to the bottom. If Master Liu has information about this, it would be ideal."

Liu Zhenghui said with a smile: "This is easy. Mr. Mo will see if he is free someday. Please come to the government office where the younger brother is working. All the documents there are complete. You can let Mr. Mo have a look." Kou Zhong was overjoyed in his heart, but he didn't know whether to act too impatiently, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said, "Please forgive me for being rude, how about visiting Mr. Liu at the Ministry of Industry sometime after treating your mother tomorrow morning?" ?” When he said these two sentences, he seemed to feel that at least half of Duke Yang's treasure had fallen into his pocket.

Li Yuan moved, "Is Pei Ju Shi Zhixuan?" Xu Ziling said: "I've secretly investigated this matter for many years, and I'm sure I won't wrong him." Li Yuan said apologetically, "Brother Yue, don't blame younger brother for being suspicious, it's just because the matter is so important that it's too unbelievable." Xu Ziling secretly said that it was dangerous, he just had an expression of fearing that Li Yuan would not believe it, it was by no means the style of domineering Yueshan.In exchange for Zhenyueshan, I can say whatever I like, and I don’t have the time to care whether you believe it or not.He was secretly vigilant in his heart, otherwise he would be exposed in these details as a counterfeit like Kou Zhong's Miracle Doctor Mo. Li Yuan moved to his side and stood side by side with Xu Ziling, staring at the snow scene in the garden, pondering: "I have worked with Pei Ju for many years and Yang Guang, in retrospect, this person is indeed a bit deep and unpredictable, and he is very powerful. And the defeat of the Sui Dynasty , he can't get rid of the relationship, but why did he do this? What good does it do him to cause chaos in the world?" Xu Ziling sneered and said: "I think you are used to being pampered and pampered, but you have forgotten that as long as the people in the magic sect can harm others, they will never care whether it is self-interested or not, and they will go their own way. If I guess it is correct, he should have two purposes. First, It is to unify the demon way, and then unify the world. At that time, the Tao will eliminate the demon leader, and he will be able to do whatever he wants. In the end, only in this way can we get rid of all the enemies of the righteous way and the demon sect." Li Yuan was startled and said: "With me Li Yuan for a day, how could Shi Zhixuan run rampant? Where is Shi Zhixuan now?" Xu Ziling said coldly: "I came out of the rivers and lakes this time, and I purposely established relationships with people from the Demon Sect. I just wanted to find out which cave Shi Zhixuan was hiding in." Li Yuan suddenly said: "No wonder you had Fatty An and You Niaojuan to help you when Brother Yue was fighting Xi Ying in Chengdu. I was very puzzled at first, so there was a reason for this." In terms of remedying the flaws, Xu Ziling worked hard, and then turned to the main topic: "No one knows where Shi Laoxie is engraved, or who he is, but I dare to write a list of his next targets. You have no doubt about the Tang Dynasty." Li Yuan was stunned and said, "Why is Brother Yue so sure?" Xu Ziling met his shining eyes, and said word by word: "Does Xiaodao know Yang Xuyan's real life experience?" Li Yuan's face did not show the slightest emotional fluctuation, obviously planning for the worst, he said in a deep voice, "Whose son is he?" Xu Ziling said calmly: "Who is the son of who is still not the most important thing, but Yang Xuyan must be the evil seed cultivated by the 'Evil King' Shi Zhixuan painstakingly, the successor of this generation of Tianxie Dao. I am passing through the pass today , Gongcuo Huang, Yang Wenqian and Yang Xuyan intended to put me to death, because they were afraid that I would enter the customs to tell you these things. I had no intention of entering the customs, but after thinking twice, I finally came." Li Yuan showed a grateful expression, turned his eyes to kill, and snorted coldly: "Now that I know about it, do they still want to live?" Xu Ziling showed the signature smile of Zhenyueshan that Shi Qingxuan taught him, full of cold and deep meaning, and said: "You can only catch big fish by setting a long line. It is not easy to kill these three people. If one is not good, they will slip away for nothing." There is no trace. What's more, according to my opinion, Huang Gongcuo doesn't know the relationship between Yang Xuyan and Shi Zhixuan, and it's purely for personal enmity." Li Yuan frowned and said, "Who is Yang Xuyan?" Xu Ziling replied: "Yang Xuyan is actually Yang Yong's youngest son." Li Yuan lost his voice: "What?" Xu Ziling said: "Yang Xuyan still doesn't know that I have exposed his background. Last time when he came to deal with me with Huang Gongcuo and Yang Wengan outside the customs, he didn't reveal his identity. So as long as you call Yang Wengan, give him a severe reprimand. , it should make them less suspicious. As for the next move, we have to think long-term, and we must not act rashly." Li Yuan sighed and said: "Brother Yue still has such deep affection for me, Li Yuan, it really teaches Li Yuan." Xu Ziling interrupted him and said: "My Yueshan is not for you, Li Yuan, but for Bi Xiuxin. The biggest regret in her life is that she can't see the world in peace and prosperity. The only way to stop the war and stop the war is to get rid of Shi Zhixuan, the root of the disaster. , your Great Tang Dynasty can hope to bring a unified situation to the Central Plains. Everything else is nonsense. Go back! I will go to the palace to find you after I think about it." After Li Yuan left, Xu Ziling immediately left the Donglai Inn, walked left and right in the side streets and alleys, and after making sure no one was chasing him, he sneaked into Hou Xibai's small courtyard to meet Lei Jiuzhi and Kou Zhong. Kou Zhong praised: "Young Master Ling's performance at the Yuema Bridge this morning was indeed wonderful. Old Monster Huang's skills are clearly superior to yours, but he tied his hands and feet from the beginning and let you play with him. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood. If someone hadn’t thrown the stinky shoes, he would have turned into a drowning duck. Ha! Who threw the stinky shoes?” Xu Ziling said in a deep voice, "Zhao Deyan." Kou Zhong lost his voice: "What?" At the same time, he thought of Da Zhi's strange reaction, and he believed it 90% in his heart. Xu Ziling said: "That means that Zhao Deyan has given up on chasing and killing Tuli, and he may even guess that we are already in Chang'an, or will come to Chang'an soon." Lei Jiuzhi just arrived at this time, sat down and said, "Yueshan, who came out of the rivers and lakes, has become another Ning Daoqi. No one dares to follow you. I have checked several times, but I haven't found anything." Xu Ziling said: "The two biggest forces in Chang'an are the Tiance Mansion and the Princeling Party, but because they are afraid of offending Li Yuan, who would dare to provoke me." Then he explained everything about the meeting with Li Yuan. Kou Zhongxi said: "This is indeed the best way to turn against the guest. Through Yueshan, we can chase after the demon gate fiercely, otherwise even if we can find the treasure, it may be nothing but Shi Zhixuan or Zhu Yaofu in the end, and we may still Everyone will be shouted and beaten like a rat crossing the street." Xu Ziling said: "How is your progress?" Kou Zhong said triumphantly: "Based on my genius doctor's methods and face, there is nothing wrong with it. You'd better use two tricks of architecture to defend me. Tomorrow morning I will swagger to the Ministry of Industry to check The building materials around the Yuema Bridge, maybe we can drink in the treasure house at night. Ha! I didn’t expect it to go so smoothly after entering the customs, maybe it’s a change of luck!" Lei Jiu pointed to Su Rong and said: "Don't underestimate the young commander. Since Shi Zhixuan and Zhu Yuyan led the Demon Sect, the Dao has eliminated the Demon Leader, and the forces of the two factions and the Six Paths of the Demon Sect have flourished, and talents have emerged in large numbers. The current situation can be said to be They have made it all by themselves. They have so much experience in fighting that they dare say that there is no other person in the world. In addition, they act unscrupulously, with endless conspiracies and tricks, and if they are not careful, they will take advantage of them. Just follow the example of the fisherman who sits and watches the battle between the crane and the clam, so that he can sit back and reap the rewards, and only do it when we unearth the treasure." Kou Zhong smiled and said: "Brother Lei has taught you a good lesson. We have tried many times in the past where extreme joy begets sorrow, and we will definitely make sure every step of the way." Xu Ziling knew Kou Zhong's temperament best, knowing that although he was "satisfied" but would not "forget himself", he asked, "What should I do next?" Kou Zhong pondered for a while, and said: "I have notified the brothers of the Shuanglong Gang with a special secret note that the two of us are here, and I will return to Sha's family to continue working as a miracle doctor. I will leave it to you to contact Gao Zhandao and others. .” The Ssangyong Gang was founded by Kou Zhong many years ago. Gao Zhandao, Niu Fengyi, Cha Jie and other pirates who were originally pirates became members of the gang. Under Kou Zhong's order, they sneaked into Chang'an and prepared to take out the treasure and transport it.Kou Zhong didn't intend to contact them so soon, but he changed his mind now, of course because he was more sure about finding Duke Yang's treasure. Xu Ziling nodded and said: "There is no problem with this. I, Yue Shansheng, can disappear at any time. Even the emperor dare not ask." Kou Zhong turned to Lei Jiu and pointed: "Brother is now the bridge connecting me, Young Master Ling, and Mr. Hou. We have to devise a flexible method so as not to make mistakes or miss good opportunities." After some research, the three of them decided on a way to communicate and dispersed. Xu Ziling turned back into a yellow-faced man, and went to the south gate to find the secret mark left by Kou Zhong. Sure enough, he saw a new mark next to him. Xu Ziling was overjoyed. After erasing all the marks, he rushed to Andingli in the northwest of the city. Andingli is the last Jiafang before the Yong'an Canal goes out of the city and connects to the Weihe River. It is also the wharf area in the city, where all the shops engaged in water transportation are concentrated. After Xu Ziling turned into Yong'an Avenue, he walked northward along the west bank of Yong'an Canal. When he passed Yuema Bridge, he couldn't help paying special attention to the buildings on both sides of the river, especially the small-scale temple with "Wulou Temple" engraved on the door plaque. But exquisite and unique, the main hall, the Sutra hall, and the lecture hall are arranged in sequence.On the east and west sides, there are Bodhi Hall, side rooms, and cross courtyards. The flowers and trees in the courtyard are sparse, quiet and elegant.If you don't have something to do, you must go inside for a visit, maybe you can find clues to enter Baobao's treasure. In Cake West Market, Xu Ziling quickened his pace and arrived at the wharf area in Andingli in just a cup of hot tea. The surface of this section of the canal is doubled, and dozens of docks are full of large and small ships, and hundreds of servants are busy working, loading and unloading, constantly busy. Xu Ziling turned into Andingli, and the entire side street was full of water transport shops, some of which were surrounded by armed men who seemed to belong to gangs, exuding an unusually tense atmosphere. Of course Xu Ziling had no time to pay attention, when he arrived at the eighth shop on the north side of the street, he looked in and saw Gao Zhandao, whom he had not seen for a long time, was talking to someone in the shop, and saw Xu Ziling staring at him with a vigilant expression. Xu Ziling smiled and strode in.
