Chapter 241
"Mr. Qin, there is nothing to entertain in the barren mountains and wild mountains, please forgive me."

In Zixiao Pavilion, Meng Xiuyuan poured a glass of clear spring water from Wudang Mountain with his own hands, and said politely at the same time.

After all, he was here to deliver a letter. Although it seemed a little insincere to conceal his identity like this, Meng Xiuyuan did not lose his etiquette.

"Young Master Meng is humble, there are really not many pavilions designed by the world's most skilled craftsman, Senior Lu.

In the room of Lanzhi, even the clear water has a charm. "

While speaking, Qin Chuan lightly lifted his face towel, took a sip from his teacup, his movements were natural and concise, but he still didn't see his face.

When Meng Xiuyuan saw this, although he was a little curious about the identity of this person, he didn't want to meddle in other people's business, so he just wanted to ask about something serious.

No, he hadn't opened his mouth yet, but Qin Chuan suddenly said first:
"Young Master Meng, I have always admired Lu Miaozi's architectural accomplishments, can you show me around?"

Meng Xiuyuan was taken aback when he heard the words, and felt a little strange, but then he smiled and nodded, stood up, and made a "please" gesture.

"Except for the 'Zixiao Pavilion' where I usually live, the rest of the rooms are used for chores.

It may be a little messy, and it will damage Mr. Lu's masterpiece, Mr. Qin, please don't be offended..."

While introducing, Meng Xiuyuan led Qin Chuan to a nearby pavilion, opened the door and entered, and what he smelled was a smell of dust.

Looking around, one can see that there are no matching furniture in the elegant and noble-looking pavilions. Instead, grains and agricultural tools of various colors are piled up in disorder.

"Mr. Meng, this is..." Qin Chuan asked softly when he saw this.

"Oh, there has been a lot of rain in the past two days, and the thatched huts of the villagers are not strong enough. They are afraid that the food will get moldy due to water, so they need to find a safe place to store it.

I don't use it here on weekdays, so I lent it to them.

I moved all the furniture to the second floor, Mr. Qin wants to enjoy the scenery, so let's go upstairs..."

While speaking, Meng Xiuyuan was about to walk towards the stairs, but he didn't want to take a few steps, but he didn't hear the sound of footsteps behind him.

Turning his head to look, he saw Qin Chuan staring straight at these food farm tools, the light in his eyes flickering.

Seeing this, Meng Xiuyuan was about to go up to talk to him, but he heard him say again:

"No need, Mr. Meng, let's go to the side to take a look."

Hearing this, Meng Xiuyuan found this person more and more strange, but he went downstairs immediately, and led Qin Chuan to walk around the remaining pavilions.

During this period, Meng Xiuyuan had a faint feeling that his eyes were always looking around at him, which was more than watching these pavilions.

"Mr. Qin, if you have anything to say, please speak up."

After the trip was over, Meng Xiuyuan really didn't want to make a detour, so he simply asked bluntly.

No, Qin Chuan asked Meng Xiuyuan when he heard the sound:

"Mr. Meng, I see that the thatched cottages around are all newly built. Come to think of it, these villagers have recently suffered disasters and escaped up the mountain, right?"

Meng Xiuyuan was nodded and said calmly:

"That's right, there are thieves and thieves at the bottom of the mountain, and these villagers can't survive, so they come to the mountain to take refuge."

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan asked Meng Xiuyuan again:

"In that case, Mr. Meng should have no relationship or reason with them.

Then why did you allow them to be so close to bother you and lend them your house? "

Meng Xiuyuan frowned slightly when he heard the sound. He felt that this person was asking the bottom line and was a bit confusing, but he still patiently explained a few more sentences:
"I have stayed on this mountain for four or five years, and those pavilions have always been empty, so what if I borrow them to use them.

Live closer to me, if there are criminals coming, they will be safer..."

When Meng Xiuyuan said this, Qin Chuan kept looking at him with his eyes. Seeing that his words were natural and not acting like a play, he suddenly said with emotion after a long while:

"I heard from Senior Lu that Mr. Meng is kind-hearted, benevolent and chivalrous.

Seeing you today is indeed true..."

While speaking, Qin Chuan waved his hand and took off the veil, and his deep voice softened at the same time:

"Master Concubine Cihang Jingzhai, I have met Mr. Meng.

I just met under a pseudonym, please don't blame Mr. Meng. "

Looking up, one can only see a beautiful and unremarkable face, although he is dressed in men's clothes, it is hard to hide his beauty at all.

Meng Xiuyuan is also used to seeing beauties, so although he was a little surprised, he didn't react too much, and just said lightly:

"Ms. Miss, I have also mentioned the name of Cihang Jingzhai in Mr. Lu's mouth.

It’s just that I don’t know why, Miss Teacher, you are so generous, and you personally ran to my barren mountains?
Is it really just for the "Longevity Secret"? "

At this time, Meng Xiuyuan also felt that something was wrong, and he felt a little vigilant in his heart.

Whether in his impression of the plot or what he heard from Lu Miaozi before, Meng Xiuyuan still remembered that the girl from Cihang Jingzhai was not an ordinary person.

Just to convey a message, there is no need to force her to make a trip in person.

Seeing that Meng Xiuyuan's tone was wrong, Concubine Shixuan shook her head slightly and said sincerely:

"Mr. Meng, don't worry too much, Feixuan came here today mainly to convey the news of the "Longevity Formula".

Maybe Mr. Meng didn't know about it. In the past few years, senior Lu has spent all his energy on this matter.

He secretly entrusted several parties to search for the whereabouts of the "Longevity Formula".

Since I, Cihang Jingzhai, have news, I must first inform Young Master Meng..."

Having said that, Shi Feixuan's voice paused for a while, and then said softly:
"Of course, Feixuan still has some other thoughts in her heart.

Senior Lu, a generation of artisan masters, with a respected status and aloof character, would be so respectful to an unknown young man, which is a bit surprising.

Concubine Xuan was curious, so she also wanted to drop by and meet Mr. Meng..."

Meng Xiuyuan shook his head slightly when he heard the words, secretly thinking that this teacher girl is not very old, but she is quite proficient in the art of speaking, then chuckled lightly, and said again:
"It seems that Mr. Lu has been bragging for me behind my back.

I just don't know what he said, so that Miss Shi is interested in coming to see me? "

Concubine Shixuan paused for a moment, glanced at Meng Xiuyuan's tall and straight body, and then said seriously:

"Three years ago, Senior Lu and Senior Ning Daoqi had a drink at the Pegasus Ranch, and when they were drunk, they said that Young Master Meng was the most amazing, talented and brilliant person he had ever seen in his life.

In just twenty years, Young Master Meng will surely surpass Senior Ning Daoqi and become No. 1 in the Central Plains martial arts..."

Hearing the sound, Meng Xiuyuan didn't comment on this, just chuckled lightly, and said to his concubine:
"So, the reason Miss Shi is willing to take off the veil and see me with my true face is because after seeing me face to face, she recognized my strength?"

When Shi Feixuan heard Meng Xiuyuan's words, she immediately shook her head, and said with a slight frown:
"Young Master Meng misunderstood.

Ni's martial arts are really good, and after careful inspection, I couldn't help but feel invincible.

But I see you with my original face, but it has nothing to do with it..."

At this point, Shi Feixuan turned her head to look at the surrounding thatched cottages, and then at the pavilion containing grain and agricultural tools, and then said:

"The reason why I hide my face, change my voice, and use a pseudonym is for the convenience of walking in the rivers and lakes, and I don't want to reveal my identity.

But seeing Mr. Meng today, I just feel that someone like your Excellency who is compassionate to the villagers and has a kind heart and benevolence is really rare.

The reason why I changed back to meeting each other is because I sincerely want to make Mr. Meng a friend..."

Hearing the sound, Meng Xiuyuan hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands, and said to his concubine:

"Miss Shi, I'm too well-reputed. I just did some good things within my ability, but I can't call it 'sympathetic to the villagers'.

This title is too important, and I am not a high-ranking emperor..."

Seeing Meng Xiuyuan like this, Shi Feixuan didn't care, she just smiled and said:

"Young Master Meng, it's not suitable to talk here, how about we go back and sit for a while?"

Hearing that it was not easy to refuse, Meng Xiuyuan could only nod his head.

In this way, the two returned to Zixiao Pavilion, and Meng Xiuyuan poured a glass of water for Shi Feixuan.The teacher girl took another sip, then looked at Meng Xiuyuan and said softly:
"I don't know what your son's plan is in the future. Do you want to continue to live in seclusion on this Mount Taihe?"

Meng Xiuyuan shook his head when he heard the sound, and said honestly:
"Of course not, I've been sitting here for ten years, and it's time to go out and see something.

Furthermore, since Miss Shi has brought the news of "The Secret of Longevity", I will naturally go to see it..."

Concubine Shi Xuan nodded lightly when she heard the words, and then asked Meng Xiuyuan:

"I heard that Mr. Meng lived in this mountain forest for a long time, so do you know the situation of the world in recent years?"

Meng Xiuyuan shook his head immediately when he heard the sound, and said seriously:
"I have been obsessed with cultivation all these years, and it is true that I have almost isolated myself from the world.

But judging from the villagers who rushed up the mountain to seek refuge, it's not good to think about it. "

Concubine Shixuan nodded when she heard the sound, and said with a slightly gloomy expression:

"Mr. Meng's words are correct. The emperor is tyrannical and chaotic, and the rebel army is raging everywhere. The world has indeed reached a critical moment..."

Immediately, Shi Feixuan briefly told Meng Xiuyuan about the situation.

In the sixth year of the great cause, the imperial court conscripted millions of troops and shipped them to Beijing.

In the seventh year of Daye, the Yellow River flooded, and more than 10 counties in Henan and Shandong were flooded, and countless people died of starvation. However, the emperor still recruited millions of people to transport food to Beijing and prepare to fight Goguryeo.

In the same year, "Zhi Shi Lang" Wang Bo revolted in Changbai, Shandong, and wrote "Death Song of the Waves of the Liaodong River Without Direction", which was sung all over the world.

In the eighth year of the great cause, the imperial court conquered Goguryeo and was defeated. 30 elites were killed and injured, and countless civilians were added.

In the ninth year of Daye, the imperial court conquered Goguryeo twice, but before it succeeded, Yang Su's son Yang Xuangan rebelled, causing the army to retreat to quell the chaos, leaving the enemy with a mountain of military equipment, and the imperial court was seriously injured.

At this time, the world is in chaos, and all the rebels are showing their heads.

Wagang Zhairang, Hebei Dou Jiande, Jianghuai Du Fuwei, and Fugong Er are all powerful among them.

"Emperor Yang Guang has repeatedly imposed tyranny since he came to the throne, and the people have been unable to support it.

At this moment, the world is in chaos, and ambitious people have risen up one after another, relying on the force of soldiers to seek power, and they will inevitably squeeze and plunder the people within their sphere of influence, making them miserable.

The addition of military disasters, plagues and famines is really a sign of the end of the world..."

Shi Feixuan narrated, while carefully observing the expression on Meng Xiuyuan's face.

Seeing that he frowned subconsciously when he heard these tragedies, he knew that he was really touched, so he couldn't help but secretly nodded.

"Miss Shi, what is your intention in telling me this?"

Hearing this, Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help asking bluntly.

Concubine Shi Xuan also nodded unabashedly, and said to Meng Xiuyuan:
"To tell you the truth, Mr. Meng, the reason why I told you this is because I know that Your Excellency is also a person who cares about the people of the world.

At this time of panic, the thought of helping the world and saving the people is unavoidable in my heart.

And from here, all we have to do is the same thing..."

At this point, Shi Feixuan's voice stopped suddenly, and Meng Xiuyuan's eyes, which were as clear as water, looked at each other for a moment, and then said nothing.

Seeing this, Meng Xiuyuan really understood the other party's intentions, shook his head immediately, and said solemnly to Shi Feixuan:

"Miss Shi has always looked up to me.

Although I am soft-hearted and meddlesome, most of the time I just care about the injustice in front of me.

The great ambition of "helping the world and saving the people" and "saving the common people" is far from being mentioned.

In troubled times, I will indeed have my own way to do my part.

But the premise is that I also need to use my own eyes to see what to do, instead of just listening to what others say.

As for whether we will be fellow travelers at that time, then maybe..."

With Meng Xiuyuan's words, he separated himself from his concubine Xuan and Cihang Jingzhai, but the girl opposite her was not angry at all when she heard the words, instead she smiled at Meng Xiuyuan:
"It's okay, Mr. Meng.

Although I don't know why you have been a little wary since you knew my identity.

But from your words and deeds, I can feel that your heart is full of sincere and kind thoughts.

That being the case, then we will definitely be friends. "

While speaking, Concubine Shi Xuan saluted Meng Xiuyuan lightly, took out a brocade book from the exaggerated sleeve robe and put it on the table, then turned around and walked towards the door:

"Young Master Meng, Feixuan is leaving.

The whereabouts of the "Secret of Longevity" is in the letter.

I hope you will succeed in your magical skills as soon as possible, and you can use your peerless martial arts to help innocent people in this troubled world..."

Before the words were finished, Shi Feixuan's back had disappeared on the mountain road outside the door.

Meng Xiuyuan glanced at his back for a while, feeling a little emotional in his heart.

In his vague impressions in his previous life, he only remembered that Cihang Jingzhai and this teacher seemed to have polarized opinions, and most of them were not very optimistic.

Today, after having personally contacted her, he sort of understood the reason, but felt that she was not a son or daughter of a quack, but a very mature diplomat, whose words were quite inspiring.

Of course, this is just a person's style of acting, and it does not represent the essence of good and evil.

It is still unknown whether this young lady really cares about the people of the world as she expresses in her words.

Out of nature, Meng Xiuyuan didn't want to be the first to speculate on a person with malice, just keep a good distance, don't be affected by it, and verify it when he has a chance in the future.

Putting aside these complicated thoughts for the time being, and wanting to get back to business, Meng Xiuyuan immediately picked up the brocade book that contained the whereabouts of the "Secret of Longevity".

After opening it, I saw that there was only a line of small characters written in elegant handwriting on the letter paper:
"Yangzhou City, Shilong"

Seeing this, Meng Xiuyuan was overjoyed, but couldn't help but feel a little strange.

It was the news that I had been waiting for for more than nine years, and it looked somewhat familiar.
