Everything starts from Tian Long Ba Bu

Chapter 20 The general trend of the world, the treasure belongs to you!
  Taoist Huang Mu, the leader of the Xiandu Sect who had been missing for many years, reappeared. With his wide contacts, he quickly revitalized the awkward atmosphere in the Jiao Mansion.

The grudge between Jiao Gongli and Min Zihua was completely settled due to the appearance of Taoist Huangmu.

In the inner courtyard of the Jiao Mansion, Mu Renqing, Taoist Mu Sang, Yuan Chengzhi, and Huang Mu gathered here. As the master, Jiao Gongli left his daughter and several clever disciples to accompany him.

"Mr. Murong, Huang Mu rushed to Jinling as promised. If you have any instructions, please speak up!"

Taoist Huang Mu, who was sitting at the second seat, put down the hot tea in his hand and looked at Murong Fudao opposite.

After the pleasantries just now, everyone also understood that Taoist Huangmu had been trapped by the elders of the Five Poison Sect due to his earlier acquaintance with Jin Shelangjun, and therefore had not been able to appear in the world for many years.

It was not until a few months ago that Taoist Huangmu was rescued by Murong Fu that he successfully escaped from trouble.

"Taoist Huang Mu, to be honest, I do need your help with something right now!"

Seeing Taoist Huangmu take the initiative to bring up the matter, Murong Fu went straight to the point without any politeness.

"I want to find the whereabouts of the residence that Duke Wei Guo once gave in Dakongfang."

Speaking of this, Murong Fu's eyes slowly swept across the crowd.

"The residence given by Dakongfang?"

After hearing what Murong Fu said, Yuan Chengzhi and Wen Qingqing looked at each other subconsciously.

When Brother Min Zihua and Brother Dongxuan, who were standing behind Master Huang Mu, heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other strangely.

"The residence given by Dakongfang?"

Taoist Huang Mu couldn't help but be startled when he heard this. He obviously didn't expect that Murong Fu's request was actually this.

Murong Fu nodded slowly and said: "Yes, that's why I came to Nanjing this time, but I still haven't been able to find the whereabouts of the residence given by Dakongfang!"

"Master, Master Murong, my disciple's current residence is the residence given to him by Duke Wei Guogong in the past!"

After Min Zihua hesitated for a while, he suddenly stood up and reported.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Murong Fu and Taoist Huang Mu couldn't help but their eyes lit up at the same time.

"Min Zihua said respectfully: My disciple bought a house from a businessman half a year ago, and this house was the residence given to him by the Duke of Wei in the past."

After saying that, he slowly stepped forward, took out a house deed from his arms, and slowly presented it to Taoist Huangmu.

Without even looking at it, Taoist Huangmu ordered: "Present him to Mr. Murong!"

Min Zihua was stunned for a moment, but then he handed over the house deed in his hand with great respect.

Unexpectedly, Murong Fu just glanced at it, shook his head and said: "You should put this house deed away first. I am looking for the whereabouts of the residence given to Duke Wei in Dakongfang. It is not for the so-called house deed, but for something else!"

When Yuan Chengzhi heard this, he glanced at his mentor Mu Renqing and senior brother Huang Zhen, who didn't understand the whole story, and asked, "Is it possible that Mr. Murong is still after Emperor Jianwen's treasure?"

"Not bad!"

In front of Mu Renqing and others, Murong Fu still did not conceal his purpose.

"The treasure of Emperor Jianwen in the past?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Renqing's face instantly became serious. At the same time, he looked at Yuan Chengzhi and said, "Chengzhi, what's the secret behind this?"

"Reporting to Master, my disciple once accidentally obtained the treasure map left by the Golden Snake Master on Huashan Mountain, and the treasure map is said to be related to the former Emperor Jianwen..."

Seeing Mu Renqing asking, Yuan Chengzhi naturally did not dare to hide anything and quickly told the whole story.

It turned out that Yuan Chengzhi had found the remains of the Golden Snake Master when he was young, and after kindly burying them, he got the Golden Snake secret book and treasure map left by Xia Xueyi.

It's just that the location of the treasure map was very vague, and Yuan Chengzhi didn't pay attention to it earlier. Now that he arrived in Jinling, he remembered it.

It's just that like Murong Fu, he had trouble finding the residence given to him by the Duke of Wei in the past!
  When Mu Renqing heard this, he couldn't help but said solemnly: "So, the rumored treasure of Emperor Jianwen is not groundless..."

When Jiao Gongli, Min Zihua and others heard this, they all held their breath and concentrated. Taoist Huang Mu and Taoist Mu Sang showed no expressions on this. Only Min Zihua felt a little complicated.

However, Min Zihua was different from his brother who was motivated by wealth, and his mentality quickly recovered.

After confirming that the treasure of Emperor Jianwen in the past was not groundless, under the leadership of Min Zihua, Murong Fu, Mu Renqing and others came to his house in Dakongfang.

Under the guidance of the treasure map in Yuan Chengzhi's hand, everyone didn't even waste much effort. They searched according to the treasure marks on the map and found a woodshed in the back garden.

After confirming the location of the treasure, junior disciples such as Min Zihua and Dong Xuan came with them and acted as coolies. After they moved out the firewood in the firewood shed, they took shovels and started digging.

After the crowd dug for half an hour, they heard a clang sound. The shovel hit a big stone. The dirt on the stone was shoveled away, revealing a large stone slab. The two of them worked together to lift the stone slab, and there was a big hole underneath.

When everyone heard the two shouting in surprise, they rushed in to take a look. Mu Renqing said: "It seems that the treasure is here."

When the foul smell in the cave was gone, Murong Fu and Mu Renqing stepped into the cave first, while Min Zihua and others stayed outside the woodshed.

Murong Fu went down the stone steps and saw ten large iron boxes lined up in a row under the light of torches. The iron boxes were locked with huge locks, but the keys were nowhere to be found.

Finally, following the guidance of the treasure map, Yuan Chengzhi dug out iron boxes one after another in the left corner of the treasure hiding place, but the boxes were not locked.

There was no lock on the iron box. After opening it, I saw a bunch of keys and two pieces of paper inside.

Yuan Chengzhi picked up the piece of paper on it and read it in public: "My uncle's rebellion led to the surrender of all the military officials. Wei Guogong Xu Huizu is a meritorious minister and loyal to the country, which is very commendable. The internal government has a heavy treasure, and it is too hasty to carry it. Wei I will guard it for you. One day, I will pay more attention to the ancestral temple and the country, and use this as a capital.

In June of the fourth year of Jianwen, Gengshen wrote the imperial pen. "

Everyone couldn't help but feel awe-struck after hearing this, thinking that this was indeed a valuable treasure left by Emperor Jianwen when King Yan usurped the throne.

After seeing the treasure left by Emperor Jianwen in the past, Mu Renqing's expression suddenly changed. He rarely asked for help, but he suddenly said: "Mr. Murong, I have an unkind request..." "Master Mu, Master Mu" Could it be that you want me to give up this treasure and use it as military pay for King Chuang?"

However, Murong Fu did not wait for Mu Renqing to finish his words before interrupting.

Mu Renqing nodded and said: "Yes, I did not hide it from Mr. Murong. Now King Chuang is about to revolt. I and my disciples came to Jiangnan this time. One is to raise military salary for King Chuang, and the other is to recruit all the heroes in Jiangnan." Waiting for response."

"Regarding this issue, I rejected your disciple earlier." Murong Fu said calmly.

"Mr. Murong, I wonder why you are doing this?"

When Mu Renqing heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

He and Murong Fu met not long ago, but judging from the fact that Murong Fu stood up for Jiao Gongli, he was by no means the kind of profit-minded person who was greedy for wealth.

And now Murong Fu suddenly refused, which naturally made Mu Renqing feel a little surprised.

Murong Fu said calmly: "Li Zicheng is just a grass bandit. It is a waste to use this gold and silver to prepare military pay for him!"

At the same time, Huang Zhen, the great disciple of the Huashan Sect, heard the words and explained for King Chuang.

"Mr. Murong, you are biased against King Chuang. You should know that there has been a severe drought in the northwest in recent years. The people are hungry and cold. They are homeless and even eat people. However, the imperial court has stepped up the search, increased the land tax, and sent more money. , training wages, and so on, forcing people everywhere to rebel."

When Murong Fu heard this, he took a look and saw that Huang Zhen looked no more than fifty years old. He was dressed more like a businessman. He was holding an iron abacus in his left hand and a copper pen in his right hand. He looked very strange.

Huang Zhen continued to talk eloquently: "But King Chuang cares about the people, equalizes the land and exempts taxes, and does not apportion food to the people. Now the people in the northwest are all carrying pots and syrup to greet the army under King Chuang!"

"Equal land is exempted from taxes?"

Hearing this, Murong Fu couldn't help laughing on the spot.

"The northwest has been suffering from drought for years and the people have lost their homes. How can we collect taxes? These are just ways to win people's hearts!"

Murong Fu immediately shook his head and said.

Hearing what Murong Fu said, Yuan Chengzhi on the side couldn't help but retorted: "Mr. Murong, why are you so prejudiced against King Chuang? You must know that King Chuang has strict military discipline and strictly prohibits indiscriminate killing and adultery!"

"The Chuang Army is not engaged in production, and the northwest has been suffering from drought for many years. He equalizes the land and exempts from taxes, and does not want the common people to share the grain. How does the military salary come from?"

When Murong Fu heard this, he just glanced at Yuan Chengzhi and asked.

Yuan Chengzhi was speechless for a moment when he heard this, but fortunately, he quickly replied: "Of course we are chasing the stolen money to provide salary, and checking the local unkind wealthy households and corrupt officials!"

Yuan Chengzhi was forced to wander around since he was a child, and did not settle down until he became a disciple of the Huashan Sect. Therefore, apart from martial arts, he also had little knowledge.

Fortunately, after he came down from the mountain, he had a conversation with his brother Li Yan, who was the military advisor in the army, and gained a lot of knowledge from this, so he could answer Murong Fu's question.

"Brother Yuan, that's well said!"

Next to her, Wen Qingqing looked at her brother Yuan with admiration in her eyes and clapped her hands in praise.

Murong Fu stared at Yuan Chengzhi and said, "What if one day there are no rich people in the world who can be copied by corrupt officials?"

"This……"

When Yuan Chengzhi heard this, he couldn't answer for a while.

"Since ancient times, no matter who ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, he will inevitably distribute taxes to the people of the world. So, is King Chuang some kind of god? He can conjure up the money to maintain the government out of thin air?"

Murong Fu already understood that Yuan Chengzhi could not answer, so he started asking and answering himself.

At this time, Mu Renqing suddenly said: "Mr. Murong, as long as you are willing to give up this treasure, I will agree to any request you make!"

"Master Mu, are you serious about this?"

When Murong Fu heard this, his expression changed.

According to his original intention, he was naturally unwilling to give the treasure to the bandit as military pay, but Mu Renqing was resolute and would rather plead with him for the bandit.

Such a request naturally made Murong Fu's heart move.

"What I said is true!" Mu Renqing nodded.

Murong Fu said: "If Master Mu is willing to borrow our secret skill Hunyuan Palm, I can agree to share some of the gold and silver!"

"Master!"

After hearing what Murong Fu said, both Huang Zhen and Yuan Chengzhi couldn't help but change their expressions.

It should be noted that this Hunyuan Palm is the only way to assist our disciples in practicing Hunyuan Jin. It seems to be an external skill, but in fact, it can cultivate internal strength from the outside in, using the palm technique.

Therefore, this palm technique is praised by the Huashan Sect as a secret that has not been passed down.

"If the old Taoist agrees, will Mr. Murong be willing to give up everything?"

After Mu Renqing waved to his disciple, he asked.

"Master Mu, please forgive me for not agreeing. This treasure is of great use to me. I can share some of the gold and silver with you, but forgive me for not being satisfied with the rest!"

Murong Fu shook his head slowly when he heard this, and then spoke.

"But if Master Mu agrees, I will be willing to provide healing elixir in the future!"

This healing elixir was naturally prepared for the son of Gui Xinshu and his wife. Murong Fu was not afraid that Mu Renqing would not agree!
  Unexpectedly, he seemed to be moved by Murong Fu's subsequent conditions. After some thought, Mu Renqing finally made up his mind and said: "Okay, I promise you!"
