Chapter 161 Why is Ku He suffering?
On the second day, when Li An and Yan Xiaoyi, father and son, came out of Wanshizhai, Haitang Duoduo's carriage was already waiting outside the mansion.
This time, Li An only planned to take Yan Xiaoyi with him. Wang Shisanlang was busy now, and Hong Kaijia had other plans, so he actually stayed in the mansion to look after the house.
"Good morning, Miss Haitang."
Li An greeted them, and Yan Xiaoyi and his son nodded in response.
"Hello sir, are you leaving now?"
She was sitting in the carriage, looking in a good mood.
A few days ago, she brought Fan Xian to her residence in Shangjing outside the city, got him drunk, and plotted against him. Whenever she recalled the incident over the past two days, she was overjoyed.
"Let's go!"
Although he knew why Haitang Duoduo was happy, Li An was not going to point it out. It seemed that Fan Xian had lost his virginity to Si Lili.
Li An teased, "Why, are you so happy that Fan Xian is back in Nanqing?"
Haitang Duoduo suppressed her smile, coughed twice, said softly that it was nothing, and got on the carriage. Seeing this, Li An and the other two followed.
The two carriages sped away, without a driver, and were driven by Yan Xiaoyi and his partner. Haitang Duoduo was in the carriage in front, and from time to time she pointed out the road and direction to Yan Shendu outside the carriage.
More than three days passed like this, and the four finally arrived at the foot of the green mountain.
This place is already very close to the northernmost part of Qi State. At the foot of the mountain, an old man in thin clothes and barefoot in the snow is walking slowly.
Although Li An and the other two had never seen what Ku He looked like, they knew that the person in front of them was Ku He.
"Master Ku He!"
"master!"
"Greetings to Master Ku He!"
"Mr. Li," Ku He spoke with a peculiar charm, and the rhythm and intonation of his voice were different from those of ordinary people. "I have heard of your great name for a long time, and I am fortunate to meet you today. Thank you for your hard work!"
Snow was falling from the mountains, and the wind blew the white mist towards the old man in linen clothes and a hood. For some reason, the great masters of this world all loved clothes made of linen, as if they were inextricably linked to the temple, except for Emperor Qing, of course.
The thick fog on the green mountain was blown away by the mountain wind, and the temple on it gradually revealed part of its true appearance. A path leading up has been revealed to everyone. There are not many black and simple temple buildings, but they are scattered in an orderly manner, and bells can be heard from time to time. These are all some imitation shadows, although Ku He regards this place as the temple of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
"Master, are you feeling unwell?"
Ku He did not answer, but gave instructions to Haitang Duoduo, then turned around and led the way. The four of them climbed the mountain in the wind and snow.
This is the main hall of Tianyi Dao. Although it is surprisingly small, there is a statue in the middle. The proportions of the statue are just right. Although it is upright and facing everyone, it still has a lively charm. It can be imagined that the craftsmanship of the sculptor is superb.
However, there are no facial features, as if even the sculptor with such skills could not depict the appearance of the original owner, or was he unwilling to do so?
"Sir, are you here to stop me?"
There were no tables or chairs in the main hall, only a desk with an incense burner on it, and the rest were some round beds.
Several people sat on the ground, and Haitang Duoduo had disappeared. "I only came here to pay my respects to the mountain, but you don't need to bother with Sean's matter anymore," Li An replied calmly.
Since Mr. Sijue had the guarantee, Ku He didn't say anything else.
"I was injured by Master Wuzhu."
During the time when Fan Xian entered Northern Qi, Wu Zhu came once, and Ku He's body was damaged because of this. He was going to look for Xiao En himself, but more importantly, he guessed that Fan Xian must be Ye Qingmei's son through the verdict of Qiao Jie in the novel "Red Mansion" copied by Fan Xian, "Leave Yuqing, leave Yuqing, suddenly meet a benefactor, thank my mother, thank my mother, accumulate Yin merit. Advise life, help the poor. Don't be like my cruel uncle and treacherous brother who love money and forget their relatives! It is just multiplication, division, addition and subtraction, there is the sky above" and Wu Zhu looking for him to fight, and guessed that Fan Xian must be Ye Qingmei's son.
"One of the reasons why I came here is to see the mind method of Tianyi Dao."
As Li An was talking, Haitang Duoduo and another young man came into the hall and stood behind Ku He. After hearing Li An's request, both of them looked different and hesitated to speak.
What is strange is that Ku He easily agreed to Li Ang's request.
As if he had been prepared, he took out a crumpled book from his robe and handed it to Li Ang.
It can be seen that this book is something he reads from time to time. Perhaps, it is the original copy of the martial arts method that he brought out from the temple.
He did not add any of his own understanding. In other words, this book is one of the three unnamed martial arts books.
"I will find a chance to give it to Fan Xian later. Now is not the right time." Li An nodded, but did not rush to look through the contents. He whispered and made a promise again.
"That way, I feel relieved."
Ku He took out a newer book and asked Li An, "I have a book about magic from the Far West. It can collect the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to repair one's own defects and true energy. Would you like to take a look?"
Ang Lee shook his head. It wasn't that he didn't want to read it. After all, even if something didn't suit him, it would be very suitable for him after system transformation. However, the weight behind this book was something Ang Lee didn't want to bear.
The time has not come yet, it is not time to take it.
He was like a charlatan, and he reminded softly: "You will die from this technique!"
Although the sound was light, it was like thunder, causing everyone except the two grandmasters to tremble!
Ku He had no doubts, but he was also curious, and his eyes seemed to be asking, "Sir, can you actually see the death date of a great master? If this is true, then you must completely bind it to this chariot of Northern Qi!"
The subsequent conversation between him and Ang Lee made him completely put his mind at ease.
Ku He is known as the person closest to God in the world and is also the patron saint of Northern Qi.
His original name was Zhan Mingyue, and he was the brother of Zhan Qingfeng, the great commander of the Wei Kingdom. In the late Wei Dynasty, the emperor was not interested in government affairs, so he sent Tiqi Xiao En to lead a team of 1,000 people to search for temples and immortals to seek elixirs. Also accompanying him was the ascetic monk Ku He.
After going through untold hardships, Ku He and Sean finally found the temple. They triggered a mechanism in the temple and released the fairy Ye Qingmei. Ye Qingmei gave Ku He a secret book and gave Sean a pill.
After Ku He and Xiao En returned to the Great Wei, the Great Wei had been declining and was torn apart by the Prince of Nanqing. Marshal Zhan Qingfeng took advantage of the situation and established the Northern Qi on the basis of the Great Wei.
Ku He also advanced to the rank of Grand Master because of his practice of secret manuals.
The previous Wei Dynasty was destroyed by these two people, so he knows best what a dynasty needs most.
"Your Tianyi School emphasizes the unity of nature and man, but in my opinion, you are going against this principle."
Where does the unity of man and nature come from in this world? The true qi is all nuclear radiation, not the spiritual energy of all things, let alone the spiritual energy of immortals.
In other worlds, the life span of a Grandmaster would have been close to 300 years. Didn't you see that Yang Guo broke into the Golden Elixir Dao in his later years and his life span was more than years? If it weren't for the death of his Aunt Long, he would have followed her because of love. But in this world, the Grandmasters are all covered with hidden injuries, and there is not a single one whose life span is over years. Almost all of them died in accidents, which explains everything.
Li Ang's words seemed like he was insane to everyone below the Grandmaster. How could he speak so absurdly in front of the founder of Tianyi Dao and even say that the person closest to God had taken the wrong path?
