Chapter 316 Wang Tong with a Strange Attitude

Guangshan City is adjacent to Huanghe River in the south and more than 60 miles away from Huai River in the north.

It has a long history, which can be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty, and is now under the jurisdiction of Geyang County.

The city wall is not high, and the soldiers stationed there are all Du Fuwei's Jianghuai Army.

When Huang Lin and Wang Tong entered the city, they found that the atmosphere inside was quite tense, and soldiers rode back and forth from time to time.

After Wang Tong came to a house in the north of the city to settle down, the servant had already heard the news and hurried over.

It turned out that Yang Guang's fleet had passed Pengcheng, and its vanguard had entered the Huai River.

Du Fuwei's Jianghuai army occupied Geyang and Lujiang counties, and their tentacles even reached the territory of Zhongli County. This was almost under the nose of Yang Guang. To ensure the safety of the emperor, the Sui Dynasty sent Huyalang General Gongsun Shangzhe to lead the army Come to suppress.

Huang Lin suddenly realized.

No wonder Du Fuwei and Yu Wenhuaji were gone when he stopped. It turned out that the battle was approaching.

Fortunately, this place is in the rear, far away from Hongze Lake (the place where the Tongji Canal enters the Huai River) and Hangou, so it is impossible to get here.

Apparently Wang Tong thought the same way, so he asked him to heal his wounds.

Huang Lin stifled his doubts and couldn't say anything, but the injury really couldn't be delayed any longer, so he had to salute respectfully and sneak into the side yard.

Time flies by.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

With the "Jiuzhuan Xiongshe Pill" of the Xiaoyao School and other healing medicines, and the extravagant use of the vitality in the snow lotus wine to restore the true energy, Huang Lin's injury has finally stabilized, and the rest is all about water grinding.

After a few worlds, this is the worst injury he has suffered. If it weren't for the many resources in his hands, it would take half a year to recover.

Even so, it will probably take two months of recuperation to avoid hidden dangers.

Slowly exhaling foul air with a slightly bloody smell, Huang Lin got up and went out of the room. Seeing the dishes on the dining table in the living room, he couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

He has been in seclusion for five days, and he has not cut off his external perception. He knows that the servants in the house come to deliver food twice a day, but because the healing is at a critical juncture, he ignores it.

Stepping up to the main courtyard, seeing a few servants packing up their things, he couldn't help asking curiously, "Where are you?"

The servants turned their heads when they heard the sound, and an old man who looked like a housekeeper was about to speak when Wang Tong's voice came from the room.

"Going out so soon?"

I saw Wang Tong holding a scroll in his hand, wearing a blue Confucian robe and a crown with a crown, walking out of the room with a look of surprise on his face.

Huang Lin immediately cupped his hands and saluted: "It's because the old man is here that the junior can heal his wounds with peace of mind, otherwise it will take more time."

"Come in and talk." Wang Tong smiled and raised his hand to call Huang Lin into the room.

Just as he sat down, the old man who looked like a butler brought in two bowls of tea soup.

Looking at the tea soup full of seasonings in front of him, Huang Lin's mouth felt a little bitter, he was really not used to drinking this stuff!
"Try it, the housekeeper here, Lao Huang, and you are still in the same family, and they are good at making tea."

After speaking, Wang Tong picked up the tea soup, took a sip, and chewed the tea leaves, green onions, ginger, etc. in his mouth.

Huang Lin was silent, so as not to be rude, he had to pick up the tea soup, blow away the seasoning floating on the water, and took a small mouthful, "Tong Lao is leaving Guangshan?"

"Ah~ The Sui Dynasty is in turmoil, the mountains and rivers are in turmoil, and Du Fuwei's rule is quite chaotic. This is not a place to stay for a long time. The old man plans to clean up first, so that you can leave directly after you leave the customs. I didn't expect you to leave so early. Closed." Wang Tong shook his head and sighed.

From the day they entered the city, Guangshan City was in chaos.

The Jianghuai army broke down everywhere and forcibly collected food from the people's homes. If the handover was insufficient, they would conscript soldiers to make up for it. The entire Guangshan City was slightly better on the north side of the city, but it also had a tendency to spread.

Huang Lin was silent. With the bandit style of the Jianghuai army, he definitely didn't have the concept of farming the land to support the people. Now that there is a war on the front line, the people in the rear will suffer.

"Is there a place for Tong Lao?"

"First go to Dongdu to settle down, and then look at the situation, why don't we go together?" Without waiting for Huang Lin to answer, Wang Tong continued: "Don't worry, there is an old man here, Jingnian Temple and Shaolin dare not do anything to you. "

Huang Lin's attention was instantly attracted by the second half of the sentence, his brows were slightly frowned, and he asked in an unpleasant tone: "Jingnian Temple? Shaolin? Or is it a matter of the evil king's heir?"

"No, this time it's because of Master Wisdom's broken arm. News came from Jingnian Temple and Zhengjue Temple this morning." Speaking of this matter, Wang Tong couldn't help but frowned, and immediately passed the morning news to Huang Linxi Tell me in detail.

This morning, the news spread in Guangshan City. Master Yan Zhihui was merciless, and Huang Lin used the magic weapon to cut off his arm cruelly. Afterwards, both Zen Meditation and Zhengjue Temple hoped that Huang Lin would come to explain.

Wang Tong seemed to be extremely annoyed at what the Buddhist sect did, and he was extremely dissatisfied with the Buddhist sect's behavior in words.

Huang Lin knew that this was their usual style, but where did Zhengjue Temple come from?
Immediately asked out.

Seeing that he didn't know, Wang Tong thought that Huang Lin was young and had too little experience, so he explained: "Zhengjue Temple is Daoxin's Taoist temple, it's just over Qichun, not too far away."

Huang Lin:.
He always thought that Daoxin was from Shaolin Temple, and originally planned to go to Shaolin again when he went to Luoyang to invite Zhan Daoxin.

If he had known that the letter was in Qichun, he would have gone straight there after beating Pei Yue in Jiujiang.

Wisdom old monk, is this a disaster for Daoxin?
He picked up the tea soup silently to hide the embarrassment in his heart, the taste is still so hard to swallow.

Smacking his lips to dispel the strange smell in his mouth, Huang Lin straightened his expression and said, "Thank you for taking care of Mr. Tong, but this is a matter between the younger generation and Buddhism, so don't involve Mr. Tong. Buddhism is very powerful now. In case of getting tired and getting old, the younger generation will regret it."

Wang Tong nodded in relief, and then looked at Huang Lin with a smile on his face: "You alone may not be able to avenge the destruction of the ancestral family of the Xiaoyao Sect."

Huang Lin raised his head in astonishment.

It's not uncommon for someone to know about the Xiaoyao Sect. A family sect with a complete inheritance will have some records, but it's too surprising that they even know about the destruction of the ancestral court.

"Senior?" Huang Lin had a look of uncertainty in his eyes.

Wang Tong put down the teacup with a smile, stroked his beard, and said: "The old man is fond of reading. He has dabbled in all kinds of schools of thought, strange talks and strange stories. I read about the Xiaoyao School in a travel book in the early years. To get to know your faction better.”

Huang Lin: Do you think I will believe it?
Looking at the other party's obviously disbelieving eyes, Wang Tong didn't mean to explain, but continued: "The travel notes mentioned a footwork related to the hexagrams of the Book of Changes, which made the old man curious, so I checked many times. explore."

"It's a pity that I haven't found it for many years, but I know more about your faction."

When it was over, he sighed, showing disappointment on his face.

Huang Lin still didn't speak, but silently drank the tea soup in his hand.

But in his heart he was thinking about the authenticity of Wang Tong's words.

The Xiaoyao School was exterminated in the fourth year of Emperor Yuanhe of the Han Ming Dynasty, and it has been 600 years since then. Now it is a blessing to have a branch of the Huajian School. If there is another successor, the probability of this is really too small.

Moreover, the Seven Treasures Ring was worn on his hand. If he was really a member of the Free and Unfettered Sect, it was impossible for him not to know this thing.

Taking a step back, even if you really don't know each other, it seems that there is no need to conceal your identity.

But Wang Tong was still talking.

"It's just that I didn't expect that your sect was once very prosperous, but was harmed by the Buddhist sect who just entered the Central Plains. If you want to take revenge, you are really lonely. Today's Buddhist sect is more powerful than you imagined. Don't act impulsively."

The earnestness of what he said made Huang Lin feel that the old professor cared about his studies again.

Concentrating his thoughts for a while, Huang Lin stopped thinking about whether the other party was a member of the Xiaoyao Sect, and said: "Don't think that the younger generation is a newcomer who has just entered the rivers and lakes. The younger generation knows about it."

"Huh? You can actually see their cooperation with the Longxi surname?" Wang Tong was surprised.

Huang Lin smiled, as if he didn't care too much about it: "What's so difficult about this? The younger generation also knows that the Guanlong nobles want to push the Li family to the top, does Mr. Tong think so?"

Wang Tong fell into deep thought when he heard this, he really didn't know about it.

After a long time, he suddenly slapped his thigh: "Good guy, no wonder King Qin's army arrived so slowly when Yang Guang was besieged in Yanmen last year, and the second son of the Li family was still white, but he was able to lead his troops to Yanmen first !"

"No wonder Yang Guang wanted to go south to Jiangdu despite the objections of the officials! These Guanlong surnames really don't even want face!"

Huang Lin: I'm afraid you didn't see it, when the Guanlong nobles and the Shandong gentry joined forces to bully Li Shimin.

"So, this junior is very clear about the power of the Buddhist sect. You don't need to worry about me. If you are really with this junior, it will make this junior worry."

"But now that your injury has not healed, and Guangshan is quite unstable, it is still a bit risky for you to travel alone. You should go to Luoyang with me and wait for you to recover from your injury there."

Seeing what Wang Tong said was quite resolute, Huang Lin couldn't help feeling suspicious again.

Why does the other party care so much about him?
Dang even asked hesitantly: "Is there any enmity between Tong Lao and Buddhism?"

"I have to study and educate people all my life, so where is the hatred?" Wang Tong squinted at him.

Huang Lin said: "Then~~why does Mr. Tong take such care of the younger generation?"

Hearing this, Wang Tong paused, sighed, and then replied: "There are too few outstanding descendants of men in my Han family, I really can't bear to let a genius like you fall like this."

Another Han Emperor hiding in the crowd?

Huang Lin blinked his eyes, wondering if he should pull this big guy into the camp, and behind him is half of the Zhenguan Zhizhi team!

With a sudden change in his mind, he still decided to play it safe first. The Song Clan's Southern Expedition team was already on the way, and there was no room for any mistakes. It would be a great joy if someone found out that Lingnan was empty.

Dang even asked: "Are Tong Lao sure you are going to Luoyang?"

"Yes, let's stay in Luoyang first." Wang Tong nodded.

"If that's the case, the old man can just leave, and the younger generation will go to Luoyang to find you when the time comes."

Wang Tong became anxious at once, pointed at Huang Lin, and said, "You! Why didn't you listen to persuasion?"

Huang Lin smiled: "Tong Lao misunderstood, the junior has other methods, and the goal of walking with the senior is too big, it is safer to go there alone."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Wang Tong to say anything else, he got up and continued: "Tong Lao, please wait a moment, the junior will come as soon as he goes."

After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands and turned to go out.

At this time, the sky had already darkened, and the luggage loaded by the servants had also been moved out of the main courtyard.

After returning to the guest courtyard, Huang Lin got into the room, took out eyebrow pencils, foundation, gel, etc. from the storage space, lit a candle, and started operating in front of the bronze mirror.

After a long time, when Huang Lin got up, his face had completely changed.

Raising his hand, he took off the silver crown on his head, broke up the bun, and after changing his hairstyle again, he nodded in satisfaction.

main courtyard
"Master, do you want to arrange dinner?" The old steward's voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of startling Wang Tong.

Wang Tong turned his head to look at the sky, frowned and said, "Wait a while, forget it, go down first."

Didn't you just come when you said go and go?It's been so long, what is that kid up to?
I wanted to send the butler to remind me, but after thinking about it, I still didn't speak.

As soon as the old housekeeper left, there was the sound of clothes ripping through the air, and just as Wang Tong was about to get up, he heard Huang Lin's voice outside the door.

"Can Mr. Tong recognize the younger generation?"

Wang Tong frowned slightly when he saw the person coming, and was surprised for a moment.

The clothes are the strange black and white Taoist robes, and the long sword in his hand is also the Scarlet Phoenix Sword.

Most importantly, the Seven Treasure Ring is still on his left hand!
But this appearance has no resemblance to Huang Lin's at all.

Huang Lin is also tall and handsome, with an outstanding appearance.

But the one in front of him has a completely different style, just like the pampered son of a noble family, his complexion is as bright as white jade, and his eyes are dark and bright, like two cold stars.

"Are you Lu Miaozi's human skin mask?" Wang Tong immediately thought of the very famous human skin mask in the world.

"Hahaha" Huang Lin laughed, his voice became high-pitched and lonely, completely different from usual: "Baiyun City Master Ye Gucheng, nice to meet you!"

Wang Tong's hairs stood on end!
If he wasn't quite sure that this person was Huang Lin, he wouldn't have believed it!
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, his eyes opened wide: "Ye Gucheng?!"

There are rumors in the world that the "Secret of Longevity" once fell into the hands of Shilong, the number one master in Yangzhou, but was snatched by Ye Gucheng last year, and has since disappeared.

"Is that Ye Gucheng?" Wang Tong was still not sure.

Huang Lin nodded without saying a word. He picked up the kettle on the table, heated it with his true energy, poured it on his hand, and rubbed it on his face. His appearance immediately changed back.

Wang Tong was amazed at this: "Your art of transformation is really unheard of by this old man."

"Tong Lao can believe that it is safer for the younger generation to be alone?" Huang Lin poured himself a glass of water.

He felt that the tea soup was really anti-human!
"It is indeed safer, but Ye Gucheng's identity is not appropriate. Although we all know that no one has practiced the "Secret of Longevity", as far as I know, Yu Wenhuaji is looking for it everywhere under the order of Yang Guang."

Huang Lin smiled and waved his hands: "Don't worry, Mr. Tong, this junior will change his identity when we leave."

"It's so good!" Wang Tong stroked his beard and jaw, and he was completely relieved.

next morning
"If you go to Luoyang first, you can take this card to Cihui Square on the south side of Huitong Bridge. The palace is here, and the servants will not neglect you when they see this card." Wang Tong stood beside the carriage and said softly.

Huang Lin cupped his hands and thanked: "Tong Lao has been bothering you. When you arrive in Luoyang, you will definitely come to the door to bother you."

"So, the old man will set off first!" Wang Tong patted Huang Lin's hands in front of him, and his fingertips inadvertently brushed over the Seven Treasure Ring, then nodded, and then turned and boarded the carriage.

Looking at the three carriages coming out one after another, Huang Lin heaved a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he was a little uncomfortable facing Wang Tong.

If at first it felt like meeting an old professor, then in the past two days, it was a bit like facing the elders of the teacher in the world of laughter and pride.

I always feel that this boss's attitude towards him is a bit unusual! ——
