Chapter 1402 Asking
Chapter 1407 Ask
Outside Shangzhou City, on the bank of Luohe River.
The sun is shining high and the wind is blowing.
Among the long grass by the river, two figures were hiding behind an old tree, looking from time to time at the winding path that ran parallel to the Luo River.
"Junior brother, is your calculation of asking about the breath of heaven accurate?
We've all been waiting here for two or three hours, why haven't we seen this handsome driver yet? "On the other hand, the middle-aged Shang Bai said to his companion Shang Ren with a somewhat complaining tone.
The rather handsome Shang Ren glared at him and scolded him: "Don't make any noise!"
Then he buried his head in calculation again.
Shang Bai's face was filled with sadness, and he was boredly observing the scenery around him. Among the deep forest paths filled with wild trees, he could only hear a few birds chirping occasionally. Even the chirping of birds reflected the silence of the deep forest at the moment. .
On the river slope in the distance, under the cover of grass and trees, you can still see several wild graves with scrawled stone tablets...
On such a rarely visited road, would a bad guy really pass by?
Looking at those wild graves where the soil had been washed away by the rain, exposing the rotten coffins underneath, Shang Bai suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
He was beating a drum in his heart, and wanted to ask Shang Ren about the result of 'exploring the breath of heaven'. Unexpectedly, when he turned his eyes, he did not see his companions beside him, only a handsome monk wearing dark gray monk's robes!
Shang Bai was shocked and didn't know what was going on. When he opened his mouth and was stunned for a moment, the monk looked into his eyes, suddenly smiled and said, "How is the scenery here, donor?"
"Ah? Ah -" Shang Bai couldn't react anymore and shouted twice. When he came to his senses and wanted to respond to the young monk, another voice came from behind him.
The man said: "Just take it back.
The bad handsome man still needs to find someone to question. "
Hearing the sudden voice from behind, Shang Bai quickly turned his head and saw a short man carrying Shang Ren on his shoulders and walking towards the path not far away.
Shang Bai followed the direction of the short man and saw dozens of riders gathered on the path. Numerous riders, both men and women, surrounded a tall young man in the center. The young man stood there and seemed to sense Shang Bai's movement. Peeping, also cast a glance at him.
——Is this what they call bad handsomeness?
To meet a group of bad guys in this way...
Shang Bai quickly lowered his head, thoughts rushing through his mind. At this moment, he heard the young monk talking to him with a smile: "Donor, please come with me."
As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards the cavalry team. Shang Bai looked around, realizing that there was no possibility of escaping. Shang Ren was already being carried into the car formation of the bad guy. He couldn't leave his best friend behind and run away alone, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow the young monk. Together with the unknown young monk, he approached the car formation of the bad guy.
"It's true as the general said, these two people are indeed hidden there." The short man carrying Shang Ren walked into the car formation and patted Shang Ren's butt on his shoulder as if to take credit, causing Shang Ren to glare at him. , he didn't care, grinned a few times, and threw Shang Ren to the ground.
The young monk walking in front of Shang Bai also led him to the horse of the 'bad handsome man'. After he saluted the bad handsome man with his hands folded, he also joined the car formation.
The unscrupulous commander on the horse, Su Wu, looked down at the two middle-aged men and said with a smile: "The two Taoist friends from the Zhongmiao Sect specifically inquired about my Qi and stayed here to wait for me. Why are they here?" ?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Bai looked up at him in surprise.
Shang Bai did not expect that he and the bad handsome man had never met before, and Shang Ren only used the method of 'inquiring about the breath of the sky' to determine the whereabouts of the bad handsome man - there was no direct or indirect contact between the two parties. He had already figured out the whereabouts of the two of them, and even followed the insignificant traces to catch them both!
What kind of old monster is this?
I’m afraid Headmaster Shang Yong doesn’t have such a method!
Compared to Shang Bai, Shang Ren was much calmer. He was proficient in the method of 'Asking for Heaven's Breath'. When he used the method of 'Asking for Heaven's Breath' to spy on Su Wu's whereabouts, he had already had a premonition that what he had done had been betrayed by this person. What Bad Shuai felt, in turn, locked his own cause and effect - this was also the main reason why he led Shang Bai to surrender to Bad Shuai.
"Senior Brother Shang Bai and I now hold important positions in Sitiantai, responsible for monitoring the celestial phenomena.
Ever since the general set foot on Mount Huashan, strange phenomena have occurred frequently in Mount Huashan. Dark clouds cover the sun, giant trees tower into the sky, the mountains shake and the ground trembles, the Wei River bursts its banks... all these strange phenomena are not auspicious. The saint has hidden worries in his heart, so he asked my two senior brothers, the spies from the Lijing Sect, and the two Buddhist and Taoist sects. Eminent monks and Taoist priests, as well as several bad people in charge, came to investigate the root cause of the frequent strange phenomena in Huashan Mountain. "Shang Ren took a deep breath and said to Su Wu the words he had rehearsed countless times in his mind, "I used the method of 'exploring the breath of the sky' to accidentally detect the general's aura and knew that the general might come from here. After passing by, I specially waited for the general here.
The general is deeply involved in the strange changes in Huashan, so he naturally knows better than outsiders the reasons for the various phenomena in Huashan. Senior Brother Shangren and I are here to ‘question’ the general. "
"Are you asking..." Shang Ren's carefully prepared words indeed caught Su Wu's attention.
He understood what Shang Ren meant.
The saints in the capital of Chang'an frequently dispatched various forces to explore the truth behind the strange changes in Huashan. In fact, it has been shown that nowadays, whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, bad people or spies from the Lijing Sect, it is absolutely difficult for the saints to completely trust them.
Tang Xuanzong originally relied heavily on Taoism, and promoted the Taoist disciples who entered the court as officials. He would often follow several high-ranking Taoists.
In the past, if he wanted to find out the truth of something, he would often ask Ye Fashan or Luo Gongyuan to go and find out the truth.
Now, regarding the strange changes in Huashan, he did not ask Ye Fashan to do it for him. Instead, he mobilized forces from all sides and went to the vicinity of Huashan to collect information from all sides.
He suddenly became less trusting of Taoism than before.
What was the reason?
Su Wu had the answer in his heart.
What Shangren said now actually corresponded to the various clues that Su Wu had collected and explored in various places since he left Huashan. The other party did not try to deceive him.
Xuanzong's true attitude still needed to be fully discovered after he returned to Beijing and met the other party.
However, the reminders from the two Taoists of the Zong Miao Sect made Su Wu more mentally prepared. He looked at Shang Bai, who looked nervous and confused, and then continued to talk to Shang Ren: "The Queen of Heaven was born at the foot of Huashan Mountain. She allowed the 'Longhua Sacred Tree' to grow with the water from the roots of the mountain and the Wei River. She wanted to hold the 'First Meeting of Longhua'. But I connected with all parties, cut down the sacred tree, caused the roots of the mountain to shake, and the Queen of Heaven fled far away - this is the whole truth of the strange changes in Huashan.
You can report what I said to the saint truthfully."
