Commander's Destiny

Chapter 34 The Mystery of Duke Tao
The Broken Dragon Stone was impossible to get through, so Bai Wuyan had to take everyone back to the Tai Chi Bagua Hall.At this time, the bronze door of the Kun position suddenly closed, and the bronze door of the Qian position opened again.

With the opening of the bronze door, it seemed that the entire treasure house of the underground palace could not bear the burden of thousands of years, and began to collapse. The colorful wall paintings and murals slowly fell off, and stones continued to fall from above. Bai Wuyan and his party had to walk along the road. Going back the same way to the river when he came back, he jumped into it again in desperation.

Unexpectedly, they were all rushed into the bottom of Poyang Lake. It was not until the sun was about to set that they were rescued by a few fishermen returning from fishing. The others were fine, only Yao Jingli passed out , Bai Wuyan quickly started artificial respiration for her.

After Bai Wuyan was out of breath for a long time, Yao Jingli only spat out a few mouthfuls of lake water, and slowly woke up.She found that Bai Wuyan was actually pressing on her chest, so she pushed him away, covered her slightly hot, flushed ears with both hands, and slightly raised her eyes to look around.I saw a fishing boat floating on the picturesque Poyang Lake, and the reflection of the sun on the water was very similar to the colorful look in the eyes of a girl. In order to get rid of this embarrassing and ambiguous atmosphere, Yao Jingli asked loudly: "Why are we here?" This, could it be that it was washed out from the bottom of Poyang Lake?"

"This also confirms that Tao Gong did enter Taoyuan Village from Poyang Lake by mistake. It's just that the water level of Poyang Lake was higher at that time, and the lake water was poured into the underground river. Now the water level of Poyang Lake is low. It was flushed out."

After resting, the three of them returned to Zhai's compound.I saw a Taoist priest holding a torch next to the coffin, confronting everyone in the Zhai family.

"The five old peaks in the southeast of Lushan Mountain, the blue sky cuts out the golden hibiscus." The Taoist continued, "Your family's ancestors and Mr. Tao are close friends, and they must know about the Peach Blossom Spring."

When the old mayor Zhai heard this poem, he couldn't help being shocked: "How do you know this poem? Did my grandson die because of your collusion with the government?"

The Taoist was neither angry nor annoyed, and calmly argued: "I said, old man, don't spout blood. It was your grandson who drank too much wine during a banquet, and he slipped his mouth. He said that your ancestors and Tao Gong He is a close friend. The Peach Blossom Spring handed down by Mr. Tao really exists, and there is also a treasure house of immortals in the Peach Blossom Spring. We asked him where the treasure house of the Peach Blossom Spring was after he sobered up. He said that your Zhai family has lived in seclusion for generations to protect this secret. So I decided that I would rather die than say anything, and finally bit my tongue and killed myself, and we just asked the government to give him a crime for his deadly recklessness."

When the old man of the Zhai family heard that his grandson would rather die than surrender to protect the secret, he felt relieved, stroked his beard and said, "That's right, our Zhai family has lived in seclusion here for thousands of years just to protect the secret of Duke Tao, how can we tell you?" Know?"

"Our Tao Tianshi of Maoshan Dao is also the inheritance of Tao Gong. How can my family not know this secret? If you don't tell this secret, don't blame me for burning your son's body so that he can't be buried!" Knowing this secret for sure, it turned from a lip service to a blatant threat.

"To tell you the truth, this secret has been lost. I only know that Mr. Tao got lost in this Peach Blossom Spring while visiting Poyang Lake at night. If you want to find Peach Blossom Spring, go to Poyang Lake to find it yourself! Thank you for sending back my grandson's If you want to burn the corpse, you can burn it, and we will bury it in the same way." The old man did not give in at all, insisting that he knew nothing.

Seeing this unreasonable Taoist priest, Bai Wuyan rushed up and wrestled with him.After a few moves, the Taoist suddenly saw the white jade gourd on Bai Wuyan's waist, threw a talisman, turned and fled.

In order to thank Bai Wuyan and his party for snatching back his grandson's corpse, the old man of the Zhai family hosted another banquet in honor of them.Speaking of this, Bai Wuyan and the others have helped the Zhai family twice. Now not only the old man Zhai, but even the sons of the Zhai family are very grateful to them, very respectful and polite.Gradually, everyone got to know each other better, and Bai Wuyan and the others also changed the address of Old Mayor Zhai to the kind old Mr. Zhai.

During the dinner, on a whim, Mr. Zhai actually talked about family history from some household matters, and he couldn't stop the car when he talked about it.Bai Wuyan was just listening at first, but he couldn't help but interrupted suddenly in the middle and asked: "Master Zhai, I just heard that your family has lived in seclusion here for generations to protect the secrets of Tao Gong Taohuayuan. But the grandson went out and became an official?"

It's true that which pot can't be opened and which pot can be lifted. Bai Wuyan's ignorance of the world has not changed, but Mr. Zhai is not angry when he hears it. He just sighed deeply again and evaded: "It's not like before. The outside world is changing with each passing day, new things and new ideas attract people, and these young people have their own ideas. I, an old man, can’t control it. You said that if he listened to me and stayed at home, he wouldn’t suffer from such a disaster , there was almost no bones left, and thanks to Mr. Xiaobai, you are so powerful that you helped us to push back the strong enemy. Hey, Mr. Xiaobai, don’t you see that the youngest daughter of my family’s third son has also returned from overseas recently, yelling every day to let me Let her go out to preach, I have a headache every day."

Bai Wuyan didn't care, but persuaded Mr. Zhai, "I think you won't have to worry about it in the future, and the Zhai family won't have to guard the secrets of Peach Blossom Spring any more. Because we all have the treasure house of Peach Blossom Spring. It has been found, there was nothing inside, and now it has completely collapsed."

Unexpectedly, when Mr. Zhai heard what Bai Wuyan said, he burst into laughter, and said without reservation: "No, no, Mr. Bai, in fact, we are not guarding the secret of Peach Blossom Spring. Where is Peach Blossom Spring? I don’t know, we don’t care about the treasure house of the underground palace, it’s all about Mr. Tao. Our Zhai family has been guarding the secret for generations, and it’s a secret about Mr. Tao.”
