Longevity begins with a proud smile

Chapter 189 Two things

Zhuo Lingfeng and Wang Baobao walked while talking, and soon arrived at the backyard of the palace.

The outer courtyard of Ruyang Prince's Mansion is magnificent, but the inner courtyard is very elegant. You can see the majestic attic, red flowers and green willows everywhere, and the scattered stone scenery.

A curved water flows, a white jade stone bridge spans the water, and weeping willows are green on the shore. The breeze blows, and it is refreshing to look at the blue waves, the waves are stacked one after another, and the waves are advancing layer by layer.

"Ding...boom..."

There was a wisp of piano music in the distance, which was so loud that it sounded distant and quiet. Zhuo Lingfeng blurted out: "The person playing the piano is Min Mei, right?"

Wang Baobao chuckled, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "If my father is in a bad mood, my sister will play the piano for him."

Zhuo Lingfeng nodded slightly: "This song is quiet and elegant. It has the ability to soothe the mind and relieve the worries in the chest!"

He knew that King Ruyang must be in a bad mood at this moment, and the main reason was because of him. In his thoughts, he followed the music of the piano, walked across the small bridge, and came to a place shaded by flowers and trees.

In the center of the flowers and trees, there is a hexagonal building with a very special shape, with high eaves and teeth. It looks like a pavilion surrounded by six thick walls. The walls are about the height of a person and have no windows. However, there are several feet of space left from the top of the wall to the roof.

There are only a few large pillars supporting the roof. At first glance, the pavilion does not look like a pavilion or a house like a house, which is very interesting.

Outside the pavilion, there were dozens of warriors holding swords and bows. There were several people inside the pavilion, including four maids in green, standing on both sides.

The so-called old servant in green clothes stood against the pillar, with a man and a woman sitting behind him.

The woman playing the piano, wearing a pink shirt, with bright eyes, white teeth, and skin as good as snow, is none other than Zhao Min.

Zhuo Lingfeng looked at her delicate dimples and felt peaceful in his heart. Her black-haired ears were drooped and most of them were rolled behind her head. There was a hint of confusion in her pair of water-cut eyes, but the ten fingers of her hands played it. Zhuo Lingfeng could not detect the slightest hint of confusion in the sound of the piano.

The half of her neck was slender, white and delicate, like jade carved from teeth. At this time, the sunlight penetrated through the flowers and trees, and slanted through the pavilion, causing half of the outline to be soaked in light, giving it an indescribable gentle charm.

Although they had not seen each other for only a few hours, Zhuo Lingfeng felt that Zhao Min was more beautiful than before. She calmed down and then looked at the man beside her.

He was in his forties, with a long beard and a majestic appearance. He was wearing a python robe and a jade belt around his waist. His eyes were slightly closed at the moment, his palms were patting his thighs, and he looked at ease.

But he had an intimidating aura of his own, and Zhuo Lingfeng saw everyone present showing respect. It must be Zhao Min's father, Chahan Timur, King of Ruyang.

At this time, several people came close, watching and listening, not daring to make any noise. They were not afraid of disturbing Zhao Min, interrupting the sound of the piano, or disturbing King Ruyang's enjoyment of listening to the piano.

However, as soon as Zhao Min saw Zhuo Lingfeng, he immediately smiled with joy. He slid his hands on the strings and made finishing touches. He opened his mouth slightly as if he was about to shout something. Then he heard the eyes of the bearded man next to him suddenly open, and his eyes were shining. Ju, snorted heavily.

Zhao Min had no choice but to stick out his tongue and smile at Zhuo Lingfeng.

Wang Baobao stepped forward and saluted, "Father!" Then he pointed to Zhuo Lingfeng and said, "He is Zhuo Lingfeng."

King Ruyang suddenly looked him up and down with a pair of bright eyes. Seeing that he was indeed majestic and handsome, he snorted with a look of disdain.

He had just closed his eyes to listen to the music, but now he opened his eyes, his eyes were sharp, and he immediately showed an extremely witty look. His beautiful black beard was fluttering in the wind, and he showed a majestic look despite his wit and shrewdness.

Zhuo Lingfeng was not surprised or angry that King Ruyang looked down on him. He cupped his fists and bowed, and said seriously: "Junior Zhuo Lingfeng has met the prince!"

King Ruyang picked up the tea cup and took a sip, as if turning a blind eye to it. Zhuo Lingfeng kept bowing and did not get up, motionless.

After a long while, Zhao Min couldn't stand it anymore and hummed: "Father!" He stretched out his hand to pull his beard.

King Ruyang said anxiously: "No need!"

Zhuo Lingfeng straightened up.

King Ruyang turned his eyes, stared at Wang Baobao and said: "It seems that his martial arts is indeed very high, your methods can't do anything to him?"

Wang Baobao said with a smile: "Father, my child's knowledge of martial arts is limited. It is true that he is not as good as my sister. It seems that her words are trustworthy!"

King Ruyang glanced at Zhuo Lingfeng, stared at Wang Baobao and said solemnly: "Since your knowledge is limited, don't say anything easily. There are thousands of people in the martial arts world, and how strong can they be at such a young age?
You need to know that when the two armies are in battle, you will be defeated and overthrown by many unexpected things. "

King Ruyang has been fighting for many years, and many rebels have been exterminated by him. His eyes were extremely intimidating. Wang Baobao immediately lowered his head and said, "This is what my father taught me."

Zhao Min laughed and said, "Father, don't talk about my brother. It's also my fault that my daughter said that Brother Feng's martial arts is unparalleled in the world. My brother will inevitably think that it is an exaggeration."

"Really?" King Ruyang glanced at Zhao Min and said, "Since this is an exaggeration, why should I see him?"

As he stood up, Zhao Min jumped over and held down King Ruyang's shoulders, gave him a gentle pat on the back, curled his lips and said: "Father, we just agreed, if you don't keep your words, I will ignore you. .”

King Ruyang has always doted on his sweet daughter, and this act of coquettishness by her made him pity her more and more. He patted her hand and said, "Stop making trouble! My father has something to say!"

After saying that, he put down the tea cup, looked at Zhuo Lingfeng, and said slowly: "Boy, are you a disciple of the Quanzhen Sect?"

Zhuo Lingfeng nodded slightly, and King Ruyang suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you recognize Wanyan Deming?"

Zhuo Lingfeng couldn't help but feel his heart tighten, and turned around to see Zhao Min staring at him, with a hint of melancholy in the corners of his brows and eyes.

Zhuo Lingfeng shook his head and said: "I don't know.

But I know that he is a Jurchen, with the Taoist name Chong Xuanzi, the longest-serving leader of the sect, and the last leader of the sect! "

He really didn't know this person in his previous life, but after his master "Fu Yangzi" accepted him as his disciple, he naturally told him the history of Quanzhen Sect.

This Chongxuanzi is of great importance to the history of Quanzhen Religion because Quanzhen Religion has not had a leader since this person.

Because he is a Jin man, since then, the seven major branches of the Quanzhen Sect have not been subordinate to each other. Just like Zhuo Lingfeng's master, Fu Yangzi, is only the leader of the Longmen sect of the Quanzhen Sect.

The Longmen Sect is the orthodoxy of Qiu Chuji.

The other six disciples also have their own traditions and leaders, but the Quanzhen Sect no longer has a leader with one palm and seven meridians.

King Ruyang said: "Twenty years ago, I had a chance encounter with him. Today, Te Jin Zhongxuanzi, the Holy Master, is the great master of the Immortal Xuanmen. He is in charge of all Taoist schools, knows the Taoist affairs of Jixian Academy, and He was given the title 'Chong Xuan Yun Ao Hong Ren Guang Guang Da Zhen'."

Zhuo Lingfeng continued: "Although this junior is a disciple of Quanzhen, he is a man of the world. He has no control over me!"

King Ruyang rolled his eyes, looked at Zhuo Lingfeng twice, and said, "You boy, it seems you know Wanyan Deming very well."

As he spoke, his eyes glanced around and he said calmly: "This headmaster of the Quanzhen Sect was originally a member of the royal family of the Jin Dynasty.

Later, when the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Jin Dynasty, the Wanyan family surrendered to this Dynasty to avoid the disaster of death. In order to show their respect and never have the idea of ​​returning to the country, in order to save their lives, the descendants of the Wanyan family all became monks and had no interest in worldly affairs.

At that time, the Quanzhen Religion was very large in scale, and there were many aristocratic believers in this dynasty. Emperor Taizu also conferred the title of Changchun Immortal to lead the glory of Taoism in the world. People from Wanyan's lineage became Quanzhen Taoist priests.

This Wanyan Deming has profound knowledge, and after Miao Daoyi, he became the headmaster of Quanzhen! "

Zhuo Lingfeng said quietly: "The abyss of Taoism may not be deep, but he is suitable to bring shame to the Quanzhen Sect and never recover!"

Precisely because this Jin man served as the headmaster of the Quanzhen sect, people later felt that the headmaster of the Quanzhen sect was stinky, so no one ever tried to merge the Quanzhen sect into the headmaster position.

This is similar to the fact that Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty came to Mount Tai once to enshrine Zen, and later emperors would not go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen again, no matter how great their merits were.

After hearing this, King Ruyang thought for a while and suddenly smiled and said: "Boy, by saying this, you are telling me that you will not be like Wanyan Deming?"

Zhuo Lingfeng smiled and said: "Your Majesty, how could Zhuo, a martial artist, dare to covet the position of Quanzhen's leader!"

King Ruyang snorted and glared at Zhuo Lingfeng: "Then what do you want to do if you want to see me?"

Zhuo Lingfeng looked deeply at Zhao Min, who looked at him intently.

Zhuo Lingfeng exhaled and said slowly: "When I see the prince, I just want to beg him to agree to marry Min Min!"

Even if Zhao Min had known all this, his heartbeat could not help but speed up. His body was light and airy, as if he was floating in the air. There was no one else around except himself.

King Ruyang had a serious look on his face, narrowed his eyes, looked at Zhuo Lingfeng, and said coldly: "Really? Do you know that at Minmin's age, she should have gotten married long ago, why are you delaying her here?"

Zhuo Lingfeng stared at him and said slowly: "Because in the eyes of the prince, no one can match Minmei!" After hearing what he said, King Ruyang couldn't help but feel happy, gloomy and indifferent, as he thought in his heart. A smile suddenly appeared on his face and he said: "You are quite a talent!

Minmin is not only the jewel in my king's hand, but also known as the most beautiful woman in Mongolia. This is a symbol for me, Dayuan. Why do you, a Han Chinese, dare to say such nonsense here that you want to marry my daughter? "

"Dad, I told you!" Zhao Min's voice was soft and thin, and his expression was extremely firm: "In this life, I will not marry anyone except Brother Feng!"

"Minmin!" King Ruyang said angrily: "This is a matter between men. If you talk again, I will force you to marry someone else!"

Zhao Minmiao's eyes widened, and just when he was about to speak, he heard King Ruyang shout: "Mr. Cheng!"

The old servant in blue swayed and tapped his index finger twice. Zhao Min's Huagai, Moisture and other acupuncture points were numb. Not only was his body stiff and unable to move, he could not even speak.

Mr. Cheng put away his fingers and sighed: "Princess Princess, I'm offended!"

Zhuo Lingfeng saw that he had taken action and obeyed the order of King Ruyang without any intention of hurting anyone. Naturally, he did not take action to stop him. He only said to Zhao Min: "Mei Min, this is our father-in-law's business. If you please Help me, your father will become even more angry!"

Zhao Min was so smart. He suddenly realized that he just gave Mr. Cheng a hard look.

Zhuo Lingfeng stared at the old servant in green and said coldly: "Your finger-flicking kung fu is a Shaolin style technique. I guess you are the Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand Cheng Kun, and you are also the current Yuan Zhen?"

A smile appeared on the old man's face, and he silently took off his green hat, revealing a bald head. He clasped his hands together and said, "What a good eyesight! Did you let the Beggar Gang spread the news in the world that I am not dead?"

Zhuo Lingfeng replied coldly: "Exactly."

Cheng Kun was very surprised and thought to himself: "On that day, I was defeated by Zhang Wuji's Nine Yang Magic, and I faked my death with the King of Yin Ye. The golden cicada escaped from its shell. Everyone thought I was dead. How on earth did this kid know about me? Not dead?"

Zhuo Lingfeng secretly thought: "This man is extremely vicious. It is fate that he is here at this moment. It is better to take the opportunity to talk to him, compliment him a few words, and find out the truth about Song Qingshu's death."

He then raised his hands and said, "Your Excellency is a wonderful person in this world, and his handiwork is so great that no one in the world can match it.

Using only one disciple, Golden Retriever Lion King, he stirred up a bloody storm in the martial arts world. Not only did he kill his master Kong Jian, but the Shaolin Temple, the largest sect in the world, lost a great master. Even the Mingjiao, the largest sect, was almost overthrown.

This time I killed the son of the head of Song Dynasty. I guess I was preparing to do something earth-shattering, right? "

Cheng Kun was gloomy and cruel by nature, always suspicious, and his emotions of joy and anger were never revealed in his expression. Although he was full of doubts in his heart, his expression was still cold and he said: "I failed to destroy the demon. I was besieged by the demon and had no choice but to do so." Don't cheat death.

I originally wanted to travel around the world and seize the foundation of the world's largest beggar gang. On the one hand, I can serve the prince, and on the other hand, I can bring peace to the world and benefit the people. Unexpectedly, you have taken the lead and won the title of leader of the beggar gang. Bit.

Fortunately, you and the princess will be a family sooner or later, but Song Qingshu doesn't know what's wrong. He uses his status to beat and kill you and the princess. I am respected by the prince, shouldn't I kill him? "

Having said this, he paused for a moment, cast his eyes on Zhao Min's face, and said calmly: "I deliberately let the Wudang Sect know that the murderer is in the Ruyang Palace. I am sure that neither the Wudang Sect nor the Mingjiao will fight with the princess. Give up!"

Then he looked at Zhuo Lingfeng: "But the princess is so infatuated with you that she would give up her great career for you. We are all born as human beings and should reciprocate love, shouldn't we?"

Zhuo Lingfeng didn't expect that this old treacherous man would do this. He was a traitor and he was forced to do it with him. His reasons were so high-sounding that he was not afraid that King Ruyang would know about it.

Anger couldn't help but go straight to Tian Ling. He took a step forward, pointed his halberd at Cheng Kun and shouted angrily: "It's true that you want to seize the foundation of the Beggar Clan and satisfy your own selfish desires. Why serve the prince and restore peace to the world? What you said is disgusting. ?
Moreover, your intentions are sinister. The Wudang Sect and the Mingjiao are seeking revenge. It is difficult for the Ruyang King and his family to hide, but you can leave at any time and hide in the world. You can hide this intention from others, so how can you sadden the wise and wise King Ruyang? "

Cheng Kun's heart trembled. His eyes seemed cold and gloomy, but there seemed to be a fire hidden deep in his eyes. He bowed to King Ruyang and said, "My lord, old man..."

King Ruyang waved his hand and laughed loudly: "Boy, in the martial arts world, those leaders who claim to be the right sects." After saying this, he glanced at Zhao Min, with a happy smile on his face: "They are all for Min Min. After being captured, all the disciples are in great panic. As the leader of the Beggar Clan, how can you deal with this matter?"

Zhuo Lingfeng secretly thought: "At this time, the masters on the field include Xuan Ming and Cheng Kun, but Kutoutuo is not here. He should be at Wan'an Temple. It is better to take the opportunity to talk to him more, so as to delay time and let those people have some time." Opportunity to escape.”

Ran sighed and said: "Originally, I wanted to capture the prince and the prince so that they could escape safely, but with Minmei, this is really difficult to do, so there is still no way to deal with it."

King Ruyang brushed his long beard on his chest and said coldly: "Now that I have asked people to blow up Wan'an Temple, are you going to be indifferent because of Min Min?"

Zhuo Lingfeng's face darkened, and he said coldly: "You imprisoned them, so naturally I dare not offend you rashly, but if you want to destroy the foundation of my Central Plains martial arts world, I will naturally have to do something!"

"What a must!"

King Ruyang stared at Zhuo Lingfeng and said with a half-smile, "You mean to say that the greater of the two interests is more important, so the people from the Central Plains martial arts world are finally better than the sensitive ones in your mind?"

Zhuo Lingfeng opened his mouth and felt a chill in his heart. He had heard for a long time that King Ruyang was very powerful, but he didn't expect that he would lead him into the ditch with just a few words.

This is wrong no matter how you say it, it is actually heart-breaking!
When he looked at Zhao Min, he saw that her eyes were full of tears. If she hadn't been tapped on her acupuncture points, she might have been unable to hold back and speak.

Zhuo Lingfeng couldn't help but feel a little anxious, but King Ruyang held his long beard in his hand and said calmly: "You come from a Taoist sect, and you should know that there is no perfect thing in the world if great achievements are missing.

What's more, you are the leader of a gang, how can you be influenced by the personal affairs of your children? Minmin is also the princess of this dynasty, and she has never been able to control her marriage!

You two are both smart people, but to do this is simply stupid! "

As he spoke, he looked at Wang Baobao and said with a smile: "Did you see that, not only does this kid want your sister, he also wants us, father and son, to have a positive attitude. What do you say?"

Wang Baobao smiled and said: "Father, I think that as a daughter's family, it is understandable that the love between children is the most important thing!
But as a manly man, he didn't even think about this. His mind was filled with love and love, which was really a bit exaggerated! "

Zhuo Lingfeng was provoked and reprimanded by the father and son, and he became angry. He raised his face and said loudly: "We have different opinions on what we want to pursue in life.

Some people value fame and wealth, some pursue freedom and spontaneity, and some place love as the most important thing. It’s all a matter of opinion.

And I naturally know that you will not agree with this marriage in your heart, but Minmin, I am determined.

I want to talk to the prince because you are her father and it would be against etiquette not to tell you.

But if you really disagree, you also know that younger generations understand the principle of choosing the greater of two benefits! "

After hearing this, the two elders Xuan Ming felt deeply. They had outstanding martial arts skills, and it was only because they were keen on fame and wealth that they joined the palace as a generation of masters to encourage them.

Because of the death of his junior sister, Cheng Kun did not hesitate to cause catastrophe in the world and wanted to destroy the Ming Cult. Even though everyone wanted to cut him into pieces, he did not feel that he had done anything wrong!

King Ruyang saw Zhuo Lingfeng faintly showing a hint of arrogance. He smiled slightly and looked back at Zhao Min with a loving look: "Minmin, this is indeed a good husband you have chosen. He is planning to snatch her away because he failed in his marriage proposal." !”

Zhao Min's eyes were full of joy.

King Ruyang was very pleased. He snorted and looked at Zhuo Lingfeng again: "Then how much do you think Minmin paid to be with you?"

Zhuo Lingfeng was silent for a moment and sighed: "She gave up everything!"

King Ruyang said: "Okay, is it the most basic requirement for chivalrous sects like you to exchange heart for heart?"

Zhuo Lingfeng nodded.

King Ruyang smiled slightly and said: "I have never compromised with anyone in my life, but for the sake of Min Min, I will give in. I agree to marry my precious daughter to you gloriously, no matter what the consequences. I will bear it all, but you must comply with my two conditions!"

Zhuo Lingfeng smiled and said: "Please give me your instructions!"

King Ruyang said: "The first thing is that your beggar gang will do everything in the future according to my secret arrangements!"

Zhuo Lingfeng's heart moved, and he really wanted me to be a traitor, but he didn't answer, but asked lightly: "What's the second thing?"

King Ruyang was not surprised at all when he saw that he looked calm and confident. He thought highly of him, raised his hand and said, "Serve the wine!"

One of the little maids in green came slowly, holding a small jade plate, and stopped in front of Zhuo Lingfeng.

King Ruyang said coldly: "The second thing is that you drink the glass of wine on the jade plate."

Zhuo Lingfeng looked down and saw that the color of the wine was no different from the wine he usually drank. The taste was strong and fragrant, but it also smelled like wine. He frowned and asked, "Let me listen to you. I can understand this." But what magical effect does this wine have?"

King Ruyang smiled lightly and said casually: "I, the wise man, do not do secret things, and this glass of wine contains 'Shixiang Ruanjin Powder'.

This poison was offered by the monks from the Western Regions. It is colorless and odorless. Any martial arts master who uses it will not be able to exert a trace of inner strength and can only be captured and manipulated by others! "
