the enlightener says

"The subordinate's marriage is related to whether you can do things with all your heart in the future. How can it be considered irrelevant?" Looking at the lowering of his head, Gao Changgong couldn't help shaking his head, and said helplessly, "Forget it, I won't tease you, a person who just got married The little man who is still immersed in the gentleness, with a shy expression on his face and a sweet heart at the same time, is really meaningless."

Speaking of this, he suddenly smiled and said: "I took you out this time, so that you couldn't spend more time with your new wife. It is my fault. I will send some things to your house when I come back. You are the only one in the family, and you should have a child earlier to pass on the incense of your Zhang family."

Zhang Mingqi stroked the restless mane of the war horse, grinned and said: "No need, the general trained me, I know, this kind of expedition is the time to hone me."

It's just that he didn't get an answer, because Gao Changgong's eyes were blank at the moment, and he seemed to be thinking about something, so he frowned and asked carefully: "General...what's wrong with you?"

Gao Changgong, who was distracted, was suddenly awakened, and immediately looked at Zhang Mingqi, then lowered his head and smiled with a concealed smile: "It's nothing. It's just a little emotional."

Why are you distracted again?Gao Changgong half-closed his eyes. It seems that this has happened more than once recently. It seems that as long as he is closer to the realm of saints, he will feel that something is gradually changing, although he is very unwilling to admit it.

Luo Fengchu told him that becoming a saint means gradually breaking away from a "person" and becoming an existence that even she cannot understand.

Will he become like that too?

No one can answer this question, because there are always very few saints in this world. Naturally, it is impossible for many people who have come here to answer his doubts. Maybe the old man riding a bull who beat him all over the body could, according to Qin Ke's description, The old man has settled in Funiu Mountain now?

Maybe when the matter here is over, he can visit in person.

Gao Changgong made a decision, then looked towards the city cave that was getting closer and closer, and said in a deep voice: "The army is out of the city! Follow me to conquer the traitors!"

"Look, is there any match?" Zhou Gongjin's voice was particularly profound.

This is the third batch of spies called by the school affairs office, although these spies don't understand why they were suddenly called here, and they were scrutinized by the newly appointed You Langzhong as if they were thieves.

But orders are orders, and the school office has always been a place that pays attention to rules, so they can't express any dissatisfaction, they can only be silent, standing in a row of green pines, with straight waists extending upwards, like spears standing upright.

However, Qin Ke shook his head after all.

The people in front of him are indeed left-handed, but their blood is not yet at the level of a small master. What surprised him was that the person with the highest cultivation level was a civil official who nestled in the school office every day, so his abdomen showed a little fat. .

With such a figure, it is definitely not the left-handed saber master who was so sharp that day, and even broke himself in an instant with a slash of Jingzhe.

As for the archers, the school affairs office is even more clueless. Although it is true that there are many spies hidden in the school affairs office who have good archery skills, even the strongest little master master still has no evidence to prove that he It was the person who showed up that day.

However, Zhou Gongjin still decided to keep these people in custody for the time being, and serve them with delicious food and drink.

Think of it as giving them some time to rest. Anyway, the school office really needs to do things. If there are ghosts among them, the harm of letting them out is much greater than locking them up.

The most regrettable thing at present is that the clues in the dossier are still not enough to catch the internal problems of the school affairs office. Obviously, the loss of the bamboo slips made the investigation of this matter very difficult.

"In this way, those two people may not be spies from the school affairs office." Zhou Gongjin looked at the figure of the spies who were ordered to leave, but felt that the matter was not so bad. At least one enemy lurking outside is better than one lurking outside. The enemy inside is easier to deal with.

Having said that, Zhou Gongjin has actually made a lot of preparations.

The dossiers in the tiger room have all been handed over to Zuo Langzhong Shendao to look through, and at the same time, the spies of the school affairs office have been scattered by him like a handful of beans, scattered all over the city, and closely monitored for possible appearances. problem official.

As the school official, his most important task is to ensure the stability of Jianye.

As long as this period of time passes, Gao Changgong's army returns to the city with the power to kill Sun Tong just now, I'm afraid those people will have to weigh it no matter how crazy they are.

Qin Ke also knew that Zhou Gongjin was responsible for guarding Jianye, so naturally he would not accuse him of not using all his resources to track down the whereabouts of the tiger like the naive young man back then.

So he nodded slightly, and retreated after saluting, preparing to go to the file library to check the clues himself.

"What an interesting kid."

Although Qin Ke didn't speak, Zhou Gongjin, as the school official, could naturally see what Qin Ke was thinking, and couldn't help showing a playful smile.

Although Qin Ke has become an adult, in the eyes of Zhou Gongjin and others, he is still a child, a child with loyalty and kindness, always obsessed with the tiger's whereabouts, and stubbornly wants to find out the life and death of the tiger with his own strength , and even save the life of a tiger.

It's silly, but it's also cute, isn't it?

Zhou Gongjin never disliked such people, and even felt that if she was not in an important position, she would rather be like Qin Ke, be kinder and cuter, so that in the future when she closes her eyes, she might be more confident.

It's just that he lowered his head and looked at the resignation letter that Qin Ke handed over today, but frowned. He didn't understand why Qin Ke said that he would resign and leave when the matter with Hu was over. ?

"What's interesting?" Just as Zhou Gongjin was thinking, a soft female voice came to his ears.

Zhou Gongjin turned her head and saw the pale pink skirt swaying gently with her steps. Qiao Feifan was standing in front of her so prettyly, her face was somewhat rosy, and the silver earlobes on her pink and tender earlobes reflected the scenery outside the window. Sunlight.

He stayed there for so long that Qiao Feifan felt a little embarrassed. He lowered his head to look at his clothes, adjusted the folds again, and said with a bit of embarrassment: "I haven't worn such clothes properly for some days. Is it not suitable for my clothes?"

After all, she is a doctor, and she spends her days decocting medicines in smoke, and climbing mountains to collect medicines. Only girls who love beauty can wear such skirts every day.

But women love beauty, even Qiao Feifan, how can it be an exception?Today, she also spent a long time dressing up in the room, picking out those accessories, and finally found one she was satisfied with. As soon as it was used up, she couldn't wait to let people see it.

"No...it fits very well, it fits very well." Zhou Gongjin realized her gaffe, and immediately covered up her drool that was about to overflow, and then leaned closer to Qiao Feifan.

Amidst the noise of fighting and whispering, the figures of the two quickly overlapped on the window screen.

Sometimes, the germination of emotion is like a seedling in spring. When it is born in a suitable soil and is carefully cultivated by caring people, it always grows very quickly.

Chapter 725 He and She

At the same time, a man and a woman are also walking side by side in the garden. The man on the left is tall and tall. The woman in the middle was dressed in red, like a wedding dress, and seemed to be covered in blood.

"I remember you said before that you wanted a garden, and it would be best to plant mulberry trees in it, so that there would be so many mulberries that you couldn't finish them all."

While walking, Luo Fengchu looked at the plants. Some flowers had already bloomed, including peonies, rhododendrons, and Clivia, but she didn't like them so much when she looked at these blooming and extravagant flowers.

For saints, not only a word can follow the law, but also a thought, God will naturally sense their emotions and make various manifestations.

The peony flower became more and more prosperous, as if a flame-like red color had grown out of thin air, but for some reason, it was covered with a layer of destructive power at the same time, which made people awe-inspiring.

"Why bother with a few flowers." Zhuge Wanling looked at the flames and smiled wryly.

He didn't feel sorry for the flower, after all, there are so many plants in the back garden of the palace. In fact, this flower was just used as his scapegoat, because he knew that those flames should have fallen on his head. On, and he should be a corpse now.

The relationship between the two of them has become a little more subtle now. Rather than saying that they are a pair of enemies, it is better to say that they are a pair of resentful couples.

Luo Fengchu had no expression on her face, she just quietly watched the blooming flames gradually spread to the whole plant, and then she looked away when the servants in the palace panicked and started yelling "It's water!" , took the lead and left here one by one.

"There are many dangers in the city, I can feel it." Luo Fengchu said to Zhuge Wanling who was chasing after him a little while walking, "If you can't suppress those dangers, why don't you give your life to me as soon as possible?" Me, it's better than dying at someone else's hands."

Zhuge Wanling was silent for a while, knowing that Luo Fengchu didn't just threaten him with words.

The realm of saints is an almost detached existence, and they can even feel the thread of fate in the dark, but most people dare not or do not know how to pry it.

Seeing through fate seems to be a powerful ability, but it is also a curse. When a thing is doomed, who can continue to walk along the road indifferently?

After a while, he replied: "I know that since you came to Jingwu, some people have been able to guess my identity, and when they realize this, I am afraid that the things they will face next will not be worse than before. It will be easier for Tang to invade the south."

Those messengers who claim to be gods have never had the feelings of ordinary people. All they care about is the supreme authority and the qualification of life and death.

And when they discovered that the former traitor had hidden in the palace for so many years, and gradually gained the power to shake them, what followed was a desperate attack.

"But it's not that I have no chance of winning." Zhuge Wanling stood up straight, looked at Luo Fengchu who also stopped, and stared at him with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said with a slight smile, "Since the death of the teacher, many things have changed. There have been changes, and they are no longer monolithic. Although Zhang Yanling is a difficult opponent, he has been suppressed too much by his teacher these years, and he has never been able to fully grasp the power of the Tang Dynasty. Now that the Tang Dynasty is declining, he wants to revive the past It takes a long time for the majesty of the Tang Dynasty. As for Cao Meng in the north, he has never been a loyal family dog, but a fierce tiger without an owner, and he will not let others manipulate him."

Listening to Zhuge Wanling's confident words, Luo Fengchu said thoughtfully, "So that letter just now has something to do with Cao Meng?"

"I don't need to hide this matter from you. Xiang Chu has lost power in the court of the Tang Dynasty, and he has also moved his mind to take this rebellious overlord under his account." Zhuge Wanling smiled lightly: "This Cao Meng, He really has the courage to collect all the heroes in the world. Counting the generals under his account, there are already Dian Wei and Guan Changyu in the realm of grandmasters, plus Liu De, a master who can rival the realm of grandmasters, and there are countless junior masters. I really don’t know who else can compete with him in the future.”

No one is fighting with them. It may be pleasant to say such words to oneself, but it is often not a good omen when it comes to the enemy. However, Zhuge Wanling did not show any sadness or worry, and even seemed happy to see him. Luo Fengchu's appearance naturally made Luo Fengchu a little strange.

"You seem very happy." Luo Fengchu said.

"This is not a bad thing. If Cao Meng really dared to take Xiang Chu under his command, the people standing behind him would naturally be dissatisfied. After all, they not only call themselves the royal family, but they are born with the belief that they should rule the world. How could they tolerate Xiang Chu? This rebellious person joined Cao Meng?"

"So you want to use Xiang Chu to create a rift between Cao Meng and those people? But why does Xiang Chu listen to you?"

"You are wrong. Xiang Chu never listens to anyone but himself, because he is Xiang Chu. The gap between Cao Meng and those people has always existed, and there is no need to create it out of thin air. I said it before. , Cao Meng is not a loyal family dog, he and those people are just using each other, since they are using each other, there will naturally be times when their interests are inconsistent."

Zhuge Wanling and Luo Fengchu gradually walked into a gazebo, watched the small bridge and flowing water, and sat down slowly, like a pair of ordinary couples: "The royal family has never been a rigorous organization, the reason why they will Gathering together is because the gods of the past have the power to lead them, such as my teacher, although he later lived in seclusion in the Tang Dynasty and is no longer a director, but as long as he lives for one day, the royal family will never be separated. But unfortunately , he is no match for the years after all, and his successor..."

After a pause, Zhuge Wanling showed a somewhat self-deprecating smile: "But he is a complete traitor, and it is impossible to inherit the great cause. In fact, if I had chosen to stay in the royal family, many things might have turned around, but I was too young at that time. Young, too aggressive, unwilling to wait more than ten years for the teacher to pass away, it became the current situation."

Humans always make mistakes, but unfortunately, the price of some mistakes is often very heavy, and some people even need to spend their entire lives to make up for it.

Luo Fengchu didn't go to comfort him, but when she saw the loneliness in Zhuge Wanling's eyes, she lowered her head slightly, not knowing what she was thinking about.

Standing under the big sun, looking at the bustling crowd below the city cave and the city gate officials who were busy taking notes, Qin Ke also felt a little sleepy for a while.

In the past few days, he has personally checked several clues, almost to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep, and naturally he is very exhausted both physically and mentally.

What frustrates him even more is that the clues he found are not useless, but there seems to be an invisible hand in Jianye City that quietly erases all the clues, so that every time he traces to a certain extent It stopped abruptly and could not go deeper.

The more so, the more worried he felt. He always felt that Zhou Gongjin's conservative strategy might have made a mistake, but he couldn't say what the mistake was, it was just a weird intuition.

"Who is hiding behind this scene? Is it Sun Ji'an?" Qin Ke murmured in a low voice, then took out his waist badge and remounted his horse in the respectful salute of the city gate officials, and headed out of the city.

Shen Dao looked through the files these days, and also found a clue. There is a temple on the mountain not far from the city. It is said that this temple was built by the Western Maha Sect. It has been more than fifty years, and it was written by Hu Ye in the dossier.

Although in the case file, Hu was only mentioned in one stroke, but Qin Ke felt that he should check it out, which was considered to be his best effort, even if there was no result in the end, he would not regret it.

Chapter 726 Elder

The temple was full of incense, and the faithful men and women had already arrived here early. Their backs drew shadows on the long steps, and what they held in their hands was a lifelike lotus lamp. The faint flames in it It was beating slightly, as if it would disappear at any moment.

This seems to be a ritual of Maha religion. As long as believers can walk up the mountain step by step with such lotus lanterns and enshrine them in front of the great god, they will be safe and happy in the next year.

Qin Ke was noncommittal about this kind of ceremony. Along the way, he saw the lotus lanterns in the hands of many people go out, and then went down the mountain dejectedly, ready to refuel and start again. One can imagine the Maha sect envoy selling lotus lanterns at the foot of the mountain. It must be earning a lot of money.

As he climbed up the stairs, he had already entered the interior of the temple, and looked around along the bluestone road. As long as he looked all the way, he didn't seem to feel that there was anything unusual about this temple.

"These few Maha disciples who practice qigong have pretty good cultivation bases."

Qin Ke looked at the few believers standing on the edge of the cliff, flipping and jumping, but walking steadily without showing any fear. They were wearing dark red monk clothes, and many places were still stained with candle oil. Once believers saw these people, All saluted respectfully.

"These are the masters in the temple. Have a look at their clothes? The followers of the Maha Sect are all bright red, but these few have served the great god for a long time, and their clothes are blackened by the incense. gone."

Qin Ke, who was probing with the technique of wind vision, couldn't help but smile when he heard the believers whispering, thinking, what's there to praise?

Even if he went to a restaurant to find a cook, he would definitely have a few old clothes that were blackened by the smoke. Could it be that these people are more noble because they enshrine incense?However, these people practice so hard, it is indeed worthy of admiration.

Qin Ke shrugged his shoulders and continued to walk forward, half-closed his eyes as if he was in deep thought, but he was actually taking the sound of the entire temple into his head.

This is a very energy-consuming method. You must know that in such a place where people talk a lot, just the accumulation of voices is enough to make a person's brain swell, not to mention that everyone will have heartbeat, breathing, etc. The sound of footsteps and clothes rubbing together is like a monstrous flood.

Qin Ke took a deep breath, and could only rely on long-term practice to discard those useless voices as much as possible, hoping to find some clues from them.

Regrettably, he walked all the way, and even pretended to worship the statue in the main hall, but he still failed to get any useful clues from anyone.

In disappointment, Qin Ke, who was a little tired, glanced at the huge, towering, but somewhat ferocious black-faced statue in front of him, closed his eyes a little tiredly, and rubbed his tingling temples with two fingers.

These days, he has been very exhausted, and today he found nothing again, which made him feel hopeless, and even gave up the idea of ​​giving up, but it was quickly overshadowed by his persistence.

A good person like Hu should not end up in a miserable end. Even if his body is found and buried properly, it is better than turning him into a homeless wandering soul in the wilderness.

"My good man, looking at you like this, is there some hidden disease in your body?" A calm but concerned voice rang out in front of you.

Qin Ke was slightly taken aback, and when he opened his eyes, he found that standing in front of him was a short and thin old monk in bright red robes, with long eyebrows and gentle wrinkles, and his eyes were full of concern.

"Oh, it's all right." After reacting, Qin Ke immediately folded his palms and respectfully said to the old monk, "I'm just a little tired, just take a rest and rest."

The old monk still had a smile on his face, stretched out a hand and said: "The Lord of God is sympathetic to the world, we should follow his example, and ask good men to extend their hands, I have learned some medical skills, just for you to see Pulse."

It was always difficult for Qin Ke to refuse the kindness of others, so he naturally stretched out his hand honestly, allowing the old monk to hold his wrist.

It can be seen that the old monk's technique is very superb, and his way of feeling the pulse is not weak at all. Those famous doctors can only hear him close his eyes and feel the pulse, while chanting some words, he said with a smile: "It seems that I was worrying too much. , The body of a good man is far stronger than that of ordinary people, and his pulse is as majestic as the morning sun. It seems that he is also a person who is practicing. Although the way is different, he can reach such a level.

Before Qin Ke could respond modestly, he heard the old monk change the subject and said, "However, as far as I can see, there is nothing wrong with the good man's body, but he has a hidden disease in his heart. I must have something to worry about these days. Right? Is it because you can’t find someone?”

"How did Master know?" Qin Ke was slightly surprised, and then bowed respectfully, "I don't know the name of Master, can you give me some advice?"

"I don't dare to be a teacher." The old monk still looked kindly, patted Qin Ke's hand lightly and said, "The monks have already abandoned the name of the secular world, I serve the gods in this temple, and others call me the elder of Jinchi .”

"It turned out to be an elder." Qin Ke nodded, but he didn't know that this title actually represented the owner of the entire temple. "I am indeed looking for someone. I have spent a lot of effort these days, and I have never heard of him." .”

Elder Jinchi smiled slightly, and said inscrutablely: "The person who can make a good man spend so much effort to find must be very important to a good man. Although the God Lord lives in the stars, his eyes can see through the rain, dew, thunder and lightning." Heaven and earth, just now the good man bowed three times in front of the god, the god has already noticed the wish of the good man, and presumably that person has been sent to the good man, but there is still some distance so that the good man can't see it."

"Then what happened?" Qin Ke looked at Elder Jinchi and asked softly, "How can I get over those obstacles? I don't even know...whether he is still alive."

A finger landed on Qin Ke's chest, and Elder Jin Chi said slowly: "It depends on what a good man thinks in his heart. The thoughts in each of us are under the watchful eyes of the God, and a good man Whether you can find that important person depends on whether you can firmly believe in it."

"firmly believe?"

"I firmly believe. If the good man doesn't give up in his heart, the Almighty will be moved, and he will wave his hand to disperse the fog, so that you can find that person."

Elder Jin Chi spoke with such absurdity and absurdity, probably because these monks really had such a belief in their hearts, believing that the great god they enshrined was really benevolent as described in the scriptures, would be merciful to the world, and save all sentient beings.

But for Qin Ke, such a statement is not so easy to convince. After all, he is deeply influenced by his master, so it is difficult to be as fanatical as a monk. Even because he has seen the existence of saints and dragons, it makes him There is a vague fear of those untouchable existences.

It's just that when he heard the end, his eyes turned slightly, he still sighed, and saluted: "Thank you, elder, I understand."

When walking out of the main hall, people were still coming in, the whole temple was filled with the smell of incense, and the monk in red lowered his head and walked past him very silently, and then in the main hall there was The sound of chanting began.

Through the crowd, Qin Ke saw a lonely figure leaning against the railing. Under the red hood, there was a pretty face of a girl. From the position of the neckline and wrists, it looked like she was wearing leather armor, with both hands His calluses and strong heart are telling Qin Ke that this is also a master who is not weaker than him.

Probably because of his gaze, the girl turned her head slowly. There was no affection in the four eyes, it was just a kind of vigilance as if she had been violated. It could be seen that the girl's limbs had been tightened, her back Slightly bent, like a bow ready to go, it may leave the string at any time.

Qin Ke didn't know her, but he felt a little puzzled by his vigilance. Just when he was about to step forward to ask her, the sound of eager footsteps interrupted him.

"Ake!" Abu obviously came all the way, his clothes were already wet with sweat, and the movement of pushing away the crowd made the people around a little dissatisfied, but he ignored it and just shouted at Qin Ke, "Something happened. "
