Abandoning concubines and raising children to seize the throne

Chapter 1007 Tao Te Ching

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, remembering the Dong Liu people's previous behavior.

It was indeed too easy to land on the island this time. It was so easy that they almost forgot that the Dongliu people were good at such evil arts.

In the previous invasion of Beihai, many people were injured by the same method.

One of the disciples couldn't help but cursed: "You stupid Dong Liu ghost, if you dare, get out and fight to the death with me."

As soon as the man finished speaking, two disciples came running from a distance carrying a corpse. It was the disciple of the Tiandao Sect who had died before.

Someone shouted sadly: "Senior Brother Liu!"

Ye Jinglan immediately went over to check the wound. The man's heart was gone and there was no way to save him.

Two people died one after another, and everyone's hearts were suddenly filled with a dark cloud.

"Young Master Ye, what should we do?"

Huaqian's face also looked a little ugly.

Ye Jinglan pondered for a moment and said: "Retreat to their palace first, Wang Shun, you come with me."

Ye Jinglan originally didn't want Wang Shun to get involved in this matter, but now he had to change his mind.

Wang Shun is a local and can easily communicate with the locals. Although he understands the neon language, it is not comprehensive. He cannot understand some dialects well.

Everyone carried the two corpses back to the emperor's small palace. They met Huo Tiancheng on the way. Looking at the two disciples who died tragically, Huo Tiancheng frowned, but did not ask any questions.

"Find an older person to bring him over."

Ye Jinglan sat on the pony, with a small face as serious as water.

For a moment, an old man in his sixties was pushed to the ground by his disciples.

"What the hell is going on here?"

Ye Jinglan asked in neon language.

The old man raised his head in surprise, as if he had never thought that this child could speak their language.

The disciple from the Xijian Tower went up and kicked him, and cursed in a hateful voice: "Speak quickly, or I will stab you with my sword."

The old man was obviously very frightened, and said tremblingly: "I don't know, I only know that the emperor was kidnapped on the day of the expedition, and then the cave where the secret book was hidden collapsed, and we don't have anything else. knew."

The old man spoke quickly, and Ye Jinglan immediately looked at Wang Shun, who translated his words verbatim.

Ye Jinglan asked again: "Who touched it?"

The old man said tremblingly: "I don't know. We heard the screams of the guards. When we came here, we realized that a tragedy had happened. We found the cave and the emperor had been crushed to death."

Wang Shun asked again: "Are there any outsiders during these days?"

The old man shook his head.

"Nothing."

Ye Jinglan asked a few more questions, but the old man couldn't help but frown.

"Bring another person."

Several people were interrogated one after another, and the answers were mostly the same.

It is difficult to cross such a long waterway by one person alone. There are no tools for crossing the sea here, so it can be concluded that the possibility of outsiders is very small.

If the speculation is true, what exactly happened on Dongliu Island?

"Stop the killing of the Dongliu people for the time being. Wang Shun, go and inquire and see if you can find out anything."

Finally, he added another sentence.

"Be sure to pay attention to safety. It's best to change your face."

Wang Shun glanced at Ye Jinglan gratefully and said respectfully, "I obey."

After Wang Shun left, Ye Jinglan looked at Huo Tiancheng again.

"Can you trouble Mr. Huo to send a junior brother to protect him?"

Huo Tiancheng said happily: "Zhou Ning, you go."

Zhou Ning immediately started light work and chased him out.

Ge Hongyuan asked with a pale face: "Then what are we going to do?"

Ye Jinglan said in a deep voice: "Waiting for the news from Wang Shun first, you can find a place to rest, and be sure not to leave this palace."

"Ok."

Ge Hongyuan pulled Dong Ziyu and went out first.

Upon seeing this, the other disciples also left the small hall, but Huo Tiancheng stood still.

Ye Jinglan asked calmly: "Mr. Huo, does he have any doubts?"

Huo Tiancheng shook his head.

"No, I have seen the cruelty of people in Dongliu. Maybe you are right."

Ye Jinglan curled his lips.

"It's really rare for you to have such a clear understanding. A true man will not do good deeds because they are small, and he will not do evil deeds because they are small. Although pursuing the great road sounds noble, it is not in line with reality. He focuses on the small things around him. , that’s what our generation should do.”

Hearing this, Huo Tiancheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Does Young Master Ye also have research on Tao?"

"It's not really about research, I just have a little understanding of it."

Ye Jinglan put his hands behind his back and said: "The Tao can be Tao, but it is not the Tao. The name can be named, but it is not the same. The nameless beginning of the world, the mother of all things. Therefore, there is always nothing, and I want to see its wonder. There is always, I want to see its beauty. This is The two have the same origin but different names. They are both called mysteries, and mysteries are mysteries, and they are the door to all mysteries.”

Huo Tiancheng chewed on the meaning of this sentence, and felt that it contained far-reaching and profound meaning, which made people think endlessly.

Ye Jinglan added: "The crooked one is complete, the wrong one is straight, the hollow one is full, the weak one is new, the less one is more, and the more one is confusion.

Therefore, it is the common practice of the world for a saint to hold one in his arms. It is not self-seeing, so it is clear; it is not self-righteous, so it is manifest; it is not self-cutting, so it is meritorious; it is not self-conscious, so it is long-lasting.

My husband does not fight, so no one in the world can fight with him. The ancient saying that the music is complete is not true! Return sincerely. "

After hearing these words, Huo Tiancheng felt in a daze again. Suddenly he seemed to have caught something. He looked for it carefully, but it was gone, but he seemed to have a clear understanding in his heart.

Yes.

If you don't fight, no one will be able to fight against you, and you will be in an invincible position.

Looking back on these years, Zifu has been fighting for the way to heaven, and has worked hard, but failed again and again, causing the disciples' minds to become distorted.

For the selfish wishes of the two sects, the happiness of a couple was ruined. If the two sects could shake hands and make peace, sit together and study the secret of the way to heaven, they might achieve unexpected results.

Another thing is that he has been away from Zi Mansion for many days. Elder Han will definitely be unable to hold back due to his eagerness for success.

If he really went to Beijing to find Yin Qingxuan, he would definitely use force to pressure him. Although Huo Tiancheng, Ye Jingyu and Yin Qingxuan only met each other a few times, they loved the couple very much. Thinking about Elder Han's methods, he couldn't help but feel confused. .

Cui Yu and Feng Yunli naturally wanted to keep Yin Qingxuan when they attacked him. Huo Tiancheng never knew why they did this, but at this moment, he seemed to have found the answer.

Thinking of Yin Qingxuan's face that was very similar to Mei Qingge's, Huo Tiancheng's heart skipped a beat. Maybe...she really was...

He wanted to rush to the capital immediately, but he also knew that there were potential dangers on the island, and Ye Jinglan was even more unlikely to return home alone, so he had to suppress his thoughts.

In addition, if Elder Han wants Yin Qingxuan's spiritual spring, he will definitely not make things difficult for him. With the little girl's intelligence, he can definitely deal with him.

It was just that these things were accumulated in his mind, making him feel so depressed that he couldn't help but let out a heavy breath.

"Is there something on your mind, sir?"

Ye Jinglan looked at him and asked.

Huo Tiancheng twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Seeing the dead and injured disciples, I felt a little emotional. I wonder if Young Master Ye can send me out to search for them?"

Ye Jinglan nodded and said, "Of course, sir, your martial arts skills are very strong. It would be a bit of a waste to stay here."

"Thank you."

Huo Tiancheng handed over his hands and left.

Looking at his retreating figure, Ye Jinglan frowned slightly, thoughtfully.
