Xuanyuan Jue

Chapter 231
Taoist Xianguan said again: "It was Zeng Guoquan, the Ninth Commander of the Hunan Army who led the troops to attack the city of Tianjing. This man used troops to fight, no less than Li Xiucheng, and at that time Li Xiucheng had few soldiers under his command, so naturally he was against him. Not long after Hong Tianguifu escaped from Tianjing, Li Xiucheng was defeated and captured, and escorted to Zeng Guoquan's camp. Zeng Guoquan tortured him, but Li Xiucheng's bones were very hard, and he would rather die than surrender. Later, Zeng Guoquan personally With a knife, Li Xiucheng endured the severe pain and laughed instead of screaming. However, during the torture, Li Xiucheng's mind became a little blurred. He once said to Zeng Guoquan, "Young heavenly king Hong Tiangui has a holy thing." Xuanyuan Jue, it will be a matter of time to repeat the great cause of the kingdom of heaven." Zeng Guoquan immediately paid attention to it when he heard about it, and wanted to ask him more carefully. Li Xiucheng knew he had made a mistake, so he gritted his teeth and never let go. Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Zeng Guoquan executed Li Xiucheng without authorization, and then secretly ordered his cronies to trace Hong Tianguifu's whereabouts. Hearing that Hong Tianguifu was captured alive in Guangchang, Zeng Guoquan rode to Jiangxi overnight on horseback. Once he found the place where Hong Tianguifu was being held, he secretly interrogated him. Fu was terrified, and he admitted the matter of Xuanyuan Jue before he had finished a few sentences, but told Zeng Guoquan that the cylinder of the scriptures had been snatched away, and he only had a copy of "Secret Technique Treasure Book" with him. Zeng Guoquan After several rounds of interrogation, I felt that Hong Tianguifu did not seem to be lying, and after asking about the general appearance of the person who snatched the scripture tube, he took the "Secret Art Book" and left resentfully."

Hearing this old story, Feng Shen suddenly realized. "No wonder! No wonder Zeng Sanhui knew about 'Xuanyuan Jue'! His ancestor was the Nine Commander Zeng Guoquan! That's right, it's all right. The disciples were thinking before, how did Zeng San and his gang know about it? So many weird secret techniques? So, I learned them all from that "Treasure Book of Secret Techniques"!"

"I'm afraid that's the case!" Taoist Xianguan continued, "When my second junior brother and I brought the Buddhist scriptures back to our sect, your grand master was filled with joy and sorrow. The joy is that Xuanyuan Tianshu has finally returned to our sect. Sadly, it was sealed in the scripture tube and could not be taken out. I told what Hong Renkun saw and heard that night, and your grand master also suspected that the gold medal was related to the method of opening the scripture tube. After that, your grand master The master was like a maniac, racking his brains and thinking hard about the gold medal all day long, but at that time, the old man was old after all, and he exhausted his energy and passed away not long after."

Feng Shen sighed: "Since Grand Master left, there is no one in this world who has seen Xuanyuan Tianshu."

Taoist Xianguan said: "Yes, the 'Xuanyuan Tianshu' was originally inscrutable, but now it is sealed in the scripture storage tube. Talking about it is research and enlightenment, and you can't see it even if you see it... Sigh, I want to understand it. It's even more difficult."

Feng Shen asked: "By the way, master, where is that gold medal now?"

Taoist Xianguan said: "The gold medal has been melted."

"What?" Feng Shen was startled, "Who did it?"

Taoist Xianguan said: "It was me and my second junior brother who did it."

Feng Shen was puzzled and said, "But in this way, wouldn't there be no clue at all?"

Taoist Xianguan waved his hand and said: "The gold medal itself is not different, the doorway is on the engraved pattern. Let's keep the pattern and destroy the gold medal, so that it will not attract eyes and ears."

"Pattern?" Feng Shen asked, "Master, what kind of pattern is engraved on it?"

Xian Guandao said humanely: "The outer circle is a map of Fuxi's eight trigrams, and in the center are four columns of ancient seal characters."

"Four Columns of Ancient Seals?" Feng Shen's heart trembled, and he hurriedly asked, "Master, what is written in that ancient seal?"

Xianguan Taoist said: "Four images and two appearances, Yin and Yang are connected to each other..."

Feng Shen had no doubts in his mind, and continued, "Tianze Fengshui, Fire Thunder Mountain!"

"That's right!" Taoist Xianguan nodded, "These two sentences follow."

Xianggua wondered: "Brother Feng, how did you know?"

Feng Shendao: "Because the design Master said is exactly the same as the tattoo on my back!"

Xianggua said: "Oh, yes! That time you were injured by the ghost-masked man, when the imperial doctor treated your wounds, I seem to have seen something tattooed on your back... But why is it exactly the same as the gold medal?"

Taoist Xianguan said: "The tattoo on Shen'er's back is written by the second junior brother. During those years, he was guarding the tube and protecting scriptures in the capital. He was afraid that the pattern on the gold medal would be seen by outsiders, so he imitated Master Yanhui's method. , tattooed the pattern on Shen'er's back."

Feng Shen said: "Master, after so many years, do you still have no idea about the pattern?"

"That's right..." Taoist Xianguan sighed, "The Fuxi eight trigrams map is not unusual, and the four ancient seals are neither poetry nor formulas, nor are they like Yao Ci... Until now, we haven't figured out how it is related to that. What is the connection between the Buddhist scriptures?"

Xianggua suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "Master, compared with me, Uncle Feng, whose kung fu is better?"

Taoist Xianguan laughed, "When it comes to boxing and kicking skills, we two brothers each have their own strengths. The second brother is talented and intelligent, and I can understand even a little bit. But my talent is blunt. When your grand master dictates the exercises, you often can't understand them at the time, so So the stupid bird flies first, and practice more diligently for my own kung fu."

Cantaloupe scratched his head, "What do you mean? Master, you should be more clear..."

Feng Shen is not a muskmelon, how could he fail to hear the humility of Taoist Xianguan?He hastened to say: "Mustmelon, naturally Master is better!"

Xianggua said: "It turns out that Master Feng is the most skilled... But Master, since I, Uncle Feng, are no better than you, why did you choose him to protect the scriptures? Or why don't you separate and guard together, I'm afraid no one can beat you." pass you?"

Taoist Xianguan said: "The power of a mere few people, no matter how strong it is, is still limited. Not long after we took back the scripture tube, we heard about Hong Tianguifu being captured and killed, and not long after that, Zeng Guoquan So I started to lead the Hunan army around to find out the whereabouts of the two men, paying special attention to the one-eyed and Taoists."

Feng Shen said: "I am afraid that what he is looking for is my father and master."

"That's right!" Taoist Xian Guan said humanely, "I put those two things together and thought about it, and I know that Zeng Guoquan must have learned about the Buddhist scriptures from Hong Tianguifu. I started discussing countermeasures with my second junior brother. At that time, your Taishifu was new, and my injuries were not completely healed, and Wu Sheng and Kong Ru were still young, so the second junior brother planned to let him take on the heavy responsibility. Before parting, the two The younger brother left the "Guoguogu" behind, and he took the scripture tube himself, and looked for another place to stay. Along the way, the second younger brother set up a suspicious formation and led the spies of the Qing soldiers away, which gave the three of us a chance to get out of trouble .”

Master Kong Ru said: "Shen'er, thanks to your father back then, the four volumes of "Xuanyuan Jue" and the Buddhist scriptures are not lost."

"Infinite life and blessing." Taoist Xianguan nodded, and said to Feng Shen, "Second Junior Brother hid in the capital, then entered the Shuntian Mansion with the technique of punishment and name, and later married your mother, and later, there was you."

Xianggua asked: "Master, have you not met each other for so many years?"

Taoist Xianguan said: "I also met them a few times, and then they became silent and empty. I also took them there quietly."

Hua Wusheng pointed at Feng Shen and said: "When I saw Second Senior Brother again, it was just in time for you brat full of moon. At that time, your fourth master hugged you, but in the end, you peed all over your brat."

"Haha, is there still such a thing?" Xianggua was delighted when she heard it, and said with a smile, "But Brother Feng, you are really serious. Fourth Master is so nice, why do you want to pee on her? If you want to pee, you have to pee on that smelly Poor..."

Feng Shen blushed, and scolded: "Sweet melon, stop talking nonsense! Master, have you ever been there again?"

Taoist Xianguan said: "Except for this time, I went there myself later."

Feng Shen said: "When was that? I've never heard of it from my father..."

Xian Guandao said: "To prevent any rumors from leaking out, every time I meet with my second junior brother, the two of us get together in a hurry, so at that time, I don't even have time to tell you what your name is or when your mother passed away. Ask... By the way, Shen'er, why did your mother die?"

Feng Shendao: "I heard from my father that my mother suffered from the root cause of the disease after giving birth. When the disciple was about one year old, she suddenly grew old..."

"So that's how it is..." Taoist Xianguan nodded, and continued: "A few years ago, I suddenly heard the news that my second junior brother died of illness, and before I could inform Wu Sheng and Kong Ru, I rushed to Beijing to investigate."

Feng Shen said sadly: "Back then, Dad pretended to be sick and pretended to die, but now, he really left his disciple behind... Sigh, master, please continue..."

Taoist Xianguan patted Feng Shen on the shoulder, and said: "When I arrived at your house back then, the second junior brother's coffin had already been buried. So I went to the grave to check at night, and as soon as I arrived at the tomb, I Sensing the movement in the ground, while being surprised, the second junior brother has broken out of the ground. When we meet each other, we are both happy. I asked him the reason for his fraudulent death, and the second junior brother said that he felt as if some gangsters were eyeing the Tibetan scripture tube , but the enemy is in the dark and we are clear, afraid that they will not be able to catch them all, so they use feigned death to confuse the evil people, and wait for the opportunity to eradicate them in one fell swoop."

Feng Shen said: "That group of villains are the remnants of Zeng San's sticky poles... But I can't figure it out, Zeng San is a descendant of Zeng Guoquan, so how could he have something to do with the sticky sticks?"

Taoist Xian Guan said: "Shen'er, have you heard of the Gelaohui?"
