Chapter 100 The Story of the Stone

After pondering over and over again, Niu Youdao shook his head and still had no impression.

Yuan Fang who was sitting on the steps stood up, leaned closer and asked, "Master Dao, Lord Yuan, who is Chi You, is he a rebel?"

Yuan Gang: "You don't understand even if you tell me!"

"..." Yuan Fang got bored and laughed.

Yuan Gang asked: "I beat me very hard today, are you angry enough?"

It's no wonder that beating people up like this is so fun, you have the ability to let me let go of the beating! Yuan Fang murmured in his heart, but he kept flattering him: "I didn't fight, I didn't fight, I was helping Master Yuan to practice."

Yuan Gang said coldly, "I'm afraid you don't think so?"

Yuan Fang instantly said with a serious face: "There is absolutely no lie!"

Because of this sentence, in the following days, Yuan Fang began to help Yuan Gang practice kung fu every day, and also confirmed that beating people is really tiring...

In a blink of an eye, a month passed, and Niu Youdao seldom came out of the house. Except for taking a walk in the morning and evening, he spent the rest of the time sitting in the house cross-legged and meditating.

After the initial stabilization of the meridians half a month ago, he has already begun to try to refine the amulet again, first of all, to gradually restore the natal law source that has almost stopped functioning, and second, to gradually adapt the recast meridians appropriately.

During this period, Shang Shuqing was inconvenient to bother her, so she came to visit once every morning as usual.

The children in the village were strictly ordered not to play around the yard and disturb the guests.

Yuan Fang practiced with Yuan Gang for an hour every day, and he also entered the state of cultivation during the rest of the time.

Among the three, only Yuan Gang was not interested in sitting and practicing all day long. Yuan Gang believes that human life should not be spent like this. If the prolongation of life obtained from cultivation is such a waste of consumption, it is meaningless. He goes in and out every day, and he doesn't know what he is busy with.

In this small courtyard that villagers are not allowed to approach, it has entered a very regular work and rest state...

boom! A sound like an earthquake broke the tranquility of the village, causing the villagers in the village to be inexplicably terrified.

Niu Youdao and Yuan Fang flashed out of the house one after another, pushed open the courtyard door and walked out, only to see some young men organized in the village, holding weapons and heading towards the direction of the shock.

"What happened?" Yuanfang asked a passing villager.

The villager looked puzzled, "I don't know!"

Yuan Fang turned around, only to find that Niu Youdao had already flew away, so he jumped into the air to chase after him.

In the valley not far from the village, Niu Youdao came one step ahead and saw a collapsed mountain wall and the figure of Yuan Gang, who was observing something.

Niu Youdao landed in the valley, quietly watching this scene.

Soon, a group of villagers also arrived. Seeing Yuan Gang coming down from a pile of collapsed rubble, Luo An stepped forward and asked, "Brother Yuan, what happened to the noise just now? Did you see it?"

Yuan Gang said calmly: "It's nothing, the mountain has collapsed."

"Why is the movement of this mountain collapsing like thunder, struck by lightning?" Yuan Fang, who was standing beside Niu Youdao, made a strange sound, looked up at the clear sky, and muttered, "Could it be a thunderbolt from the blue sky?"

Niu Youdao looked at Yuan Gang approaching meaningfully...

It was another morning, in front of the dressing table, Shang Shuqing let go of Niu Youdao's head with both hands, softly said, "Master Dao, it's done."

Niu Youdao got up to see him off as usual, and he didn't stop when he was sent out of the courtyard, but continued to walk with Shang Shuqing.

Shang Shuqing bowed her body and said with a smile: "No need to send it far away."

Niu Youdao stretched out his hand to signal to go away, and when the two walked side by side, he asked, "Is the princess on your mind?"

Normally, Shang Shuqing would chat and talk when combing his hair, but these days Shang Shuqing rarely talked, which was a bit abnormal.

Shang Shuqing was silent, as if she didn't know what to say or not.

Niu Youdao looked around, "There doesn't seem to be anything unusual in this village, and the expressions of the villagers remain the same. Is there something wrong in Canglu County?"

Shang Shuqing said: "I'm afraid that talking about it will affect Master Dao's cultivation."

Niu Youdao: "It doesn't hurt to listen."

Shang Shuqing: "The plan to seize Qingshan County has been abandoned, and brother will find another way to gain the attention of Tianyumen."

Niu Youdao: "Hai Ruyue broke his promise and refused to help the prince?"

Shang Shuqing sighed softly, "Brother just mentioned it at the beginning, I sent a message and asked again and again to find out, Hai Ruyue's side can be said to have broken the promise, but it's not entirely true, they just mentioned it request, which is impossible for us to meet.”

Niu Youdao: "That is to say, in the final analysis, you still broke your promise, you don't want to help, and you deliberately create problems to make things difficult for this side?"

Shang Shuqing: "The situation is a bit special, it can be said to make things difficult, but this side can also understand her difficulties."

Niu Youdao asked curiously after hearing this, "What's going on?"

Shang Shuqing: "The problem lies in Xiao Tianzhen, the incumbent governor of Jinzhou who inherited his father's career and has not yet grown up. He is the son of Hai Ruyue. His son not only inherited his father's business, but also inherited his problems. He seemed to be weaker, and the person he sent to contact reported that Xiao Tianzhen's body was too weak, and he might not live to be an adult. This year, Xiao Tianzhen's illnesses were even more frequent. gone."

Niu Youdao: "Could it be that Hai Ruyue's request is to heal his son?"

Shang Shuqing: "Master Dao Mingjian, Hai Ruyue means exactly that. What she said makes sense. The governor of Jinzhou is his son. Although she is now in charge of the power, once her son is gone, she is afraid that she will not be able to protect herself. How can I have the ability to help my brother? So she made a request, as long as my brother can rescue her son from the Ice and Snow Pavilion, she will send troops to help!"

Niu Youdao frowned. He had seen Chiyang Zhuguo in "Shangqing Supplementary Records". It can be said to be one yin and one yang with 'Bingyuguo', but the nature of the place where it grows is opposite, quite negative and yang , The meaning of anode and yin.

"What disease needs Chiyang Zhuguo?" Niu Youdao couldn't help being curious.

Shang Shuqing: "It is said that it is a natural 'Heavenly Yin damages the pulse', and it needs to take Chiyang Zhuguo to completely eradicate the root cause of the disease."

Niu Youdao: "As far as I know, that fruit tree can grow nine fruits, one grows every year, and one matures every nine years. , can’t you ask for one from the Ice and Snow Pavilion?”

Shang Shuqing: "Of course I begged. When Xiao Bieshan was alive, in order to save Xiao Bieshan, Xiao Huang repeatedly asked people to go to the Ice and Snow Pavilion to ask for it. Xiao Huang even asked the Emperor Zhao to ask for it, but it was useless. It is said that this fruit is exclusive to Granny Xue, and Granny Xue has to eat one every year to be comfortable. The governor of Jinzhou has a high status for ordinary people, but in the eyes of Granny Xue, what is it with ants? The difference? Xiao Tianzhen's life is not as important as his appetite."

Niu Youdao nodded silently.

Shang Shuqing hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "I don't know if there are any other good ways to win Tianyumen's attention?" In fact, she has been wanting to ask for advice these days.

Niu Youdao: "I haven't thought about it for the time being, but then again, the method proposed by Wang Ye and Mr. Lan is the best method. Not only can it get the attention of Tianyumen, but it can also win Qingshan County and expand its power in one fell swoop. Killing two birds with one stone, if you miss this opportunity, it may not be easy to find another opportunity to annex Qingshan County."

Shang Shuqing: "Of course I know, but there's nothing I can do if Hai Ruyue doesn't agree."

Niu Youdao said calmly: "Let me think about the solution." He stretched out his hand to signal her to go back first.

After watching her leave, Niu Youdao walked to the fields with his hands behind his back to wander around. When his thoughts were wandering, Yuan Fang came to him and followed behind without saying anything.

When he saw a group of children running in front of him, Niu Youdao stopped, turned his back and said, "Old Xiong, with your identity, you want to lead the monks of Nanshan Temple to gain a foothold in this world. I'm afraid it will be difficult. How about giving up on them and following me?" ?”

"Ah!" Yuan Fang was stunned for a moment. I don't know why he suddenly said this, he shook his head repeatedly, and muttered: "How can it be done? Disciples and grandchildren, I promised the old host, I can't leave them alone."

Niu Youdao stood there silent for a long time...

The next morning, Shang Shuqing, who was combing Niu Youdao in front of the dressing table, noticed two stones beside the bronze mirror, one black and one yellow.

After combing, Niu Youdao saw him off as usual. Before leaving the door, Shang Shuqing looked back at the two stones on the table with a silent expression.

After seeing him off, Niu Youdao walked slowly to the side of the rushing river by himself to watch a group of young people train.

About half an hour later, the wheelchair Meng Shanming was sitting in came, and Shang Shuqing pushed it, and beside him was a strong old man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and yellow beard and hair.

"Master!" Meng Shanming greeted, Niu Youdao turned around and greeted him with a smile.

After being polite, Meng Shanming pointed to the old man beside him, "I think the mage has never seen it before. This is Gongsun Tieniu, a famous iron craftsman who is famous all over the world. Mr. Gongsun encountered some troubles in his early years, and King Mengning helped him. So he took his family to live in seclusion here. Since then, Mr. Gongsun has selected some talented villagers' children as apprentices, and set up a craftsman's workshop in the mountain to the north. Over the years, he has been making weapons for the prince, in case need..."

Niu Youdao listened with a smile, and greeted each other with Gongsun Tieniu after hearing some hidden situations here.

Gongsun Tieniu's temper didn't seem to be very good, he just said a few words, then turned his head and looked around, he seemed impatient with this hypocritical politeness, at the end he simply said that there was something else to do, turned around and left.

"Mr. Gongsun is a good person, but his personality is a little bit tough, Master, don't take it to heart." Meng Shanming apologized on his behalf.

"It's okay, I'm not familiar with it." Niu Youdao dismissed it indifferently, looked at Shang Shuqing and said, "Princess, I'm going to go to Jinzhou for the prince, to meet the sea like the moon, and see if I can facilitate this for the prince. The princess can send a message to inform the prince, don't be too anxious to make other preparations."

Shang Shuqing was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and persuaded: "Master Dao, it's better not to do useless work, there is really no need to go to Jinzhou, Hai Ruyue's attitude has indeed been found out, it will not change, it is useless. "

Niu Youdao: "It's okay to try again, but please ask the Princess to keep this matter from the monkey for now!"
