Chapter 108 The fragrance of flowers floats
###108 The fragrance of flowers floats
The fragrance of flowers floats in the forest, and the sound of the piano is long and lingering. It feels like sitting alone in the forest playing the piano, as if it were outside the mountains.

After meditating for half an hour, Xiao Ling's mood gradually calmed down. The sky was getting dark. Looking from a distance through the bamboo forest, the stars in the sky were slightly showing their white light.

"Master, can you smell the fragrance of flowers?" Xiao Ling asked softly with her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Wu Guisheng opened his eyes slightly and nodded.

"There is still sound of the piano deep in the bamboo forest, can you hear it, master?"

Wu Guisheng still nodded calmly.

The two of them continued to meditate and adjust their breath calmly.If Xiao Ling hadn't practiced with Wu Guisheng for many years, it would never have been possible for Xiao Ling to sit quietly like this.

The injustice you have suffered today will be repaid twice as much in the future.

With this mood, Xiao Ling calmed down again.

"You can go for a walk, look around, and see if you can get out of this bamboo forest on your own."

Hearing Wu Guisheng's suggestion, Xiao Ling smiled and said:

"Me? Master, the bamboo forest in Qixia Mountain is not accessible to ordinary people. How could I possibly crack it easily?"

Wu Guisheng laughed loudly and said: "Although there are people here deliberately setting up formations, you have been practicing with me for many years and you can understand some ways. I think today is a good time to learn. If the princess is not willing, just be Didn’t I say that?”

Xiao Ling looked around intently. The sound of the piano was long, but it was a beautiful sound.With the encouragement of her master, Xiao Ling was ready to take action, thinking that if she could really get out of this bamboo forest, she would gain more respect from those two people in the future.

The status of a princess is naturally extremely noble, but to be the mistress of Qixia Mountain, I am afraid she still needs to have some respectable skills.

Being able to get out of Ye Xiaolou's formation is also a good way to improve your status.

Thinking of this, he stood up suddenly and turned around slightly. He could roughly distinguish the four directions of east, south, west and north.

Xiao Ling has indeed learned some skills from following Wu Guisheng over the years. She also has a good understanding of the art of opening and closing yin and yang, and the art of inverting the universe. However, Wu Guisheng cannot leave the palace without permission, and her teachings are limited to the palace. , today is the first time to solve a real problem.

If Xiao Ling hadn't used a trick just now to deceive the imperial guards in the palace, Wu Guisheng would not have been able to leave the palace.

Xiao Ling thought again and let out a long sigh of relief. If he had been impatient and willful today and came to Qixia Mountain alone, he really doesn't know whether the situation would be worse than now.

Perhaps even the bamboo forest cannot be reached at all.It's a pity that although Master Wu has extensive knowledge, is proficient in Qimen Dunjia, astronomy and terrain, and has profound martial arts skills that are beyond human reach, he is not a completely free person.

Finding someone in the palace who can teach some decent kung fu is as difficult as picking the moon from the sky.Fortunately, my father imprisoned Wu Shifu in the palace. Although he respected him as a heavenly master, he could not leave the palace even half a step without permission.

As for why Wu Guisheng was imprisoned by his father in the first place, Xiao Ling did not know very well. He only knew that when his father was still a prince, he also learned martial arts from Master Wu. He also worshiped Master Wu as his disciple and studied under him. According to the scriptures, it can be said that Master Wu was his father’s teacher back then.

According to the old palace people, the Lin Mansion began to rise after the emperor ascended the throne, and his power in the court became more and more powerful. Gradually, the emperor, who had always followed the guidance of the Tianshi, began to get tired of the Taishi's teachings.

Later, several strange things happened one after another in Da Qi. The ministers in the court said that the heavenly master made a mistake in interpreting the celestial phenomena, which made the gods angry and blamed Qi.Naturally, the emperor did not believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, so someone in the court made a fuss about Wu Guisheng's name, and later the Lu Linshan case came up.

After the emperor ascended the throne, he strictly prohibited the Qi State from using evil and poisonous techniques without violating the national laws, especially summoning spirits, fire sacrifices, and cultivating poisons.

There were more than 110 officials involved in the Lu Linshan case, and 730 people were involved. Three imperial concubines in the harem were given white silk and poisoned wine because there were items of unknown origin in the palace.

Among them are pills with unknown effects, silk with birth dates written on them, and domestic animals made of straw.

In less than a year, Princess Qi became the emperor's favorite concubine because of the deaths and imprisonment of the other concubines.

Lulin Mountain was originally the name of a small courtyard in the palace, which means that the road is far away and the mountains are covered with trees.I encourage those who study in this courtyard to persevere and, through their own efforts, walk a long and slow road without being impatient and eventually become a forest.

It was in this scholarly courtyard that someone found a song.The poem says: "Agarwood slow fire turns heaven and earth, water on the pond turns stars back, false name, amphibious place, if you don't change the morning glow, you won't be immortal."

The Lin Mansion believes that this song alludes to the emperor's actions when he seized the crown prince's position as the third prince, forced the eldest prince to death, and drove the second prince crazy, thus becoming the supreme emperor of the Nine-Five-Year Plan.

Although the emperor was kind, he couldn't bear the thought of someone saying in court that he forced his brother to death to gain power.He immediately ordered his mentor to be imprisoned in a prison.

After five full years, all those who interceded for Wu Guisheng stopped speaking, and the emperor ordered that Wu Guisheng be imprisoned in Lulin Mountain and not allowed to meet anyone.

In fact, Xiao Ling knew that the emperor did not really want to kill Wu Guisheng. All this was just caused by the domineering Lin Mansion.

What's more, although the palace is large, trying to imprison Wu Guisheng is simply a dream.

The emperor also knew that he could not be imprisoned, so he simply treated him with the courtesy of a gentleman and did not arrange a guard to guard him at Lulin Mountain.

Wu Guisheng didn't care about these rights and wrongs at all, and was content in the palace.Everyone who met him was respectful and polite to him.

If a person survives a storm, everyone will be in awe of him.

Until last year, there were heavy rains in Suishan and drought in the northwest, and the Lingyun River dried up for a time.The emperor asked the Heavenly Master for help again, but this time, the Heavenly Master remained silent and just shook his head.

The only person in the palace who was close to Wu Guisheng was Xiao Ling.Thinking of this, Xiao Ling became more confident.Following the sound of the piano, she walked southeast for a while, and the bamboo leaves gently scraped over her shoulders, making a rustling sound.

After walking for a while, the sound of the piano gradually became louder, but the bamboo forest did not change. The sound of the piano did not change everywhere, and the bamboo forest was exactly the same as before. It was clearly back to the same place.

With light feet on the ground, simply climb up to the top of the tree and look around. There is a sea of ​​flowers in the south, colorful and endless; there are rocks in the west; fog in the north;

She and Wu Guisheng came from the south, and there was no such a sea of ​​flowers before.

what happened?She suddenly felt scared. The colors of the sea of ​​flowers were so gorgeous that she couldn't take her eyes away. However, the beauty was so dazzling that it was really weird and scary.
