Being seen through at a glance, Nanyan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

She chuckled dryly.

At this moment, Ye Zhen and Ran Xiaoyu came over from outside and whispered to Nanyan: "Madam, let's guard the master, you go eat something." ”

Ran Xiaoyu said again: "Madam, you haven't slept all night, have you?" ”

“……”

"Gotta get some rest."

Last night, when entering this Taoist temple, although Nanyan was flustered, he still took a distraction out of his busy schedule and secretly reminded Ye Zhen and Ran Xiaoyu.

To hide your identity.

After all, they don't know exactly who these Taoist priests are.

Therefore, she only said to these people that it was her husband who was on the bed, and Ye Zhen and Ran Xiaoyu were their entourage.

Nothing else.

Seeing them coming, Nanyan was also a little relieved, plus she hadn't slept all night, and the water and rice didn't touch her teeth, she was indeed hungry and sleepy.

So he ordered the two of them to keep a good guard, and went out with the Taoist chief.

This was the first time she had seen this Taoist temple clearly.

This Taoist temple, which is deep on the island on Xingluo Lake, is beautiful and quiet, and even some of the houses are extremely elegant.

The strange thing is that this Taoist temple is cultivated on the island, and it stands to reason that there are not many people coming, let alone any incense.

Where did they get the money?

The Taoist priests who came and went also seemed very relaxed and natural.

Countless question marks appeared in Nanyan's heart.

In a few moments, they walked to the dining hall.

Nanyan followed the old way to get some food, which were naturally vegetarian, green vegetables and tofu.

Sitting on either side of a table, Nanyan looked around, there were only the two of them in the dining hall.

She said softly, "Dao Chief......"

The old Taoist priest smiled and said, "Madam, the poor Taoist is a good teacher. ”

"The Good Master's ......"

Nanyan muttered these three words.

Good is like water.

"Tao Te Ching" is a Taoist classic, and his Taoist name comes from a sentence in it: "Good is like water, and water benefits all things without fighting".

Nanyan smiled and said, "I haven't had time to thank the Good Master for saving his life last night. ”

The benevolent master smiled slightly.

He was about sixty or seventy years old, but he was vigorous and free-looking, and he did not have the feeling of old age at all.

Especially those eyes, shrewd as a mirror.

Nanyan said again: "What about the others? ”

"Oh, they're still in their morning class."

"We're here so early—"

"It's okay," said the good master with a smile, "Poor Dao also has something to say, and he wants to ask Madame." ”

Nanyan's heart was slightly mentioned.

The spirit immediately became vigilant, but there was still a smile on his face: "What does the Good Master want to ask me?" ”

The Good Master also looked at her with a smile.

"Who the hell are you?"

Nanyan's heart skipped a slight beat.

Last night, she reminded Ye Zhen that they wanted to hide their identities, but obviously, their appearance was not a normal thing, and it had aroused the suspicion of these people.

So, early in the morning, the Good Master came to inquire.

Nanyan smiled reluctantly and said, "I, my husband is a businessman, and he took me and the people in his family to play here." ”

"Play?"

Master Shang raised his gray eyebrows slightly.

The look in his eyes clearly wrote these three words-

Don't believe it.

Nanyan himself felt a little embarrassed, this lie was too substandard, ordinary people, who would go to this place that has not been marked on the map to play.

Besides, Zhu Feng, who looks like a businessman?

But the words had already been spoken, and she couldn't take them back, but fortunately, although the good master obviously didn't believe her words, he didn't ask questions.

He only smiled, as soft as water, and said, "Since this is the case, then the poor Dao will not ask much." ”

After speaking, he lowered his head and took a sip of porridge.

Nanyan felt even more embarrassed.

The meaning of the good teacher's words is clearly - since you can't ask the truth, then the poor path doesn't ask much.

It's really not good to talk to the monks.

Nanyan bowed his head and ate.

After a while, the other Taoist priests had finished their morning classes and also came to this place to eat, but they were very quiet, although there were many people, but there was no noise and shouting.

Nanyan ate and felt that those Taoist priests were looking at him with curious eyes.

She thought for a while, hesitated and said softly: "Dao Chief, your Taoist temple, don't people usually come?" ”

Master Shang said, "Of course. ”

"Then, why build a Taoist temple here?"

"Because it's here, it's here."

“……”

That's a lot of profoundness.

Nanyan couldn't be connected for a while.

She thought for a moment and then said, "Then, I want to ask, who were the people who attacked us last night, does the master know?" ”

Master Shang looked at her with a smile and said, "It seems that Madame, you came here to play, but you didn't find out in advance what kind of people and things are here. ”

Nanyan smiled awkwardly again.

Master Shangshan said: "Those people are water bandits. ”

"Water bandits?"

"Yes, the water bandits of the Tiangang Serial Dock."

"Tiangang Serial Dock?"

Nanyan's brows furrowed when he heard this.

In this place, there are bandits?

Master Shangshan said: "Actually, this Xingluo Lake was not inaccessible in the past, on the contrary, this place has waterways extending in all directions, and there is an endless stream of merchants coming and going, and it is very prosperous. ”

“……”

"It's just that later, due to some changes, this place gradually declined."

Nanyan's brows furrowed: "What's the change?" ”

Shangshan Shi glanced at her and said calmly: "After Emperor Gao founded the country, he once fought a big battle with his enemies here. ”

Nanyan took a breath of cold air.

She remembered.

At the beginning, the Central Plains was occupied by the Chinese people, and many people rose up to fight, among which in addition to Emperor Gao, there were several great forces.

Before, when dealing with the people, they were comrades-in-arms who fought side by side.

However, the people of the country were expelled from the Central Plains, and they became the contenders for the highest power.

In the end, of course, it was Emperor Gao who defeated them.

Master Shang said calmly: "Emperor Gao defeated those people, but that great battle did not end there. ”

“……”

"Although his enemies were routed, those men scattered and fled, hiding in thousands of islands on Xingluo Lake."

“……”

"The islands are numerous and have complex topography, making it difficult to investigate thoroughly."

“……”

"In addition, at the beginning of Emperor Gao's founding, the national strength was not strong, so he had no way to eradicate these people."

“……”

"Over time, these people have created their own forces."

“……”

"That is, Tiangang Lianwu."

It's the first time I've heard of Nanyan, and there is such a past.

She thought for a moment and said, "Speaking of which, these people control a lot of islands and have a lot of power. ”

"Yes."

"Then, why are they afraid of you?"
