Chapter 41 Don't mess with villains
Yang Yuanqing kept watching Pei Minqiu's carriage go away, then turned his head and came to Yun Dingxing and smiled, "Mr. Yun is back so soon?"
"Hey! If you have something in your heart, hurry back."
"Didn't you go to Mount Wutai to invite an expert? Have you been there?"
Yun Dingxing smiled bitterly and said, "General, don't mention the incident of Mount Wutai. It sounds really weird."
Yang Yuanqing asked with a smile: "What a weird thing, let's hear it!"
"That Pan Shangxian recommended his junior brother, saying that his junior brother was very powerful in Taoism and was about to become immortal. King Qi was moved. I ordered him to invite him. As a result, when I went to Mount Wutai, I realized that Pan Shangxian of Shangqing Palace had become immortal ten days ago. It was said that it was a night of lightning and lightning. The heavenly beings sensed, the children of Shangqing Palace all heard loud noises in the palace, with strange fragrance thundering and white light shining. The next morning, Pan Shangxian's disciples went to retreat and opened the stone gate. They saw a piece of clothing in the stone cave, and there was no trace of people."
Yang Yuanqing heard it absurdly and asked again: "Is this really the case?"
"At that time, hundreds of disciples witnessed it at the same time. The mountain people also said that they saw a white light flying over the Shangqing Palace with their own eyes. I suspected it was thunder and lightning, but the mountain people swore that it was not thunder and lightning, but an extremely shining white light."
Yun Dingxing's expression also became solemn, saying, "If one or two people say it, I won't believe it, but if hundreds of people say it, I'm a little convinced. Maybe there is really a saying of eternal transformation."
Yang Yuanqing smiled and said, "Pan Lao Er ascended to the Immortality, then don't you King Qi believe in Boss Pan more?"
"It's true! The King of Qi had been persuaded by Huangfu Xu and was a little bit disgusted with Pan Yaodao, but when this happened, the King of Qi respected Pan Yaodao as a god, even more than ever before."
Yang Yuanqing had already understood a little bit. Pan Dan had some tricks. He couldn't ascend to immortality, so he asked his junior brother to become immortal. Even his junior brother had become immortal. So is his senior brother still far from being ascending to immortality? Such a person who uses evil words to deceive the public cannot do big things. He often fails to succeed and fails. It seems that he did not kill this person yesterday, so he made a very wise decision.
Yun Dingxing was not interested in Pan Yaodao's affairs. He was more concerned about his future. He came to Yang Yuanqing to find Yang Yuanqing, but he had a serious matter. Thinking that the secret of King Qi had been mastered by him, Yun Dingxing couldn't help but excitedly said: "General, I have obtained the information of the private army."
"Shh!"
Yang Yuanqing shrewd and looked at both sides. They were on the roadside, with people coming and going, and they were inconvenient to speak.
"Come with me!"
Yang Yuanqing brought Yun Dingxing to an open space, which was empty and there were no one around, and more than a dozen subordinates stood guard for them from afar.
"Tell me! The situation of the private army."
"General, the King of Qi raised a total of 5,000 private troops, divided into five branches, stationed in the King of Qi's five manors, including two branches in Taiyuan County, one branch in Chang'an, one branch in Xiangcheng County, and one branch in Luoyang."
Yang Yuanqing frowned, "Where is one in Luoyang?"
"A branch in Luoyang is in Yique County."
Only then did Yang Yuanqing realize that no wonder Huangfu Xu was going to be the magistrate of Yique County. It turned out that Yique County actually contained the private army of the King of Qi.
"Who told you this?"
"A eunuch of the King of Qi, this person is extremely greedy for bribery. He knows a lot of inside information. I spent 300 yuan to ask him that he had bought this information. If the general wants to see him, I can help him."
Yang Yuanqing pondered for a moment. He had long wanted to bribe an insider from the Qi Palace, but he had never had a chance, or there was no suitable one. The eunuch mentioned by Yun Dingxing was a chance to see this person first.
"Yes, please arrange it for me. If possible, I want to see this person tonight."
Yun Dingxing thought for a while and nodded in agreement, "Okay! Tonight, I'll take him out to find the general."

In the Taoist temple in the backyard of the King of Qi's Mansion, King of Qi, Yang Qing, knelt in the yard to apologize, "I am ignorant and do not know the appearance of the immortal. I hope the immortal will forgive me!"
Yang Ming had a little suspicion about his Taoist skills because Pan Dan was beaten by Yang Yuanqing. With Huangfu Xu's persuasion, he ignored Pan Dan a little. Unexpectedly, Yuan Dingxing brought him back the news that his junior brother Pan Dan had become an immortal. He realized his shallowness. Pan Dan had told himself that the Taoist skills he learned were not fighting, but to see the mystery of the world and observe the thousand years of the world. Once he realized the truth, he could become an immortal. He actually suspected his practice because he was bullied by Yang Yuanqing. Could it be that immortals should be skilled in bows and horses to be called immortals?
After waking up, Yang Ming had already faded about the incident in Beijing last night. At this time, he was thinking more about how to win the position of the Eastern Palace through Taoism. He had believed in Pan Dan for more than a year and believed in his words.
At this time, Pan Dan's apprentice Qingfeng walked out quickly, helped King Yang Hsu up, and said softly: "Your Highness, don't blame yourself. The master is a Taoist practitioner. He is indifferent by nature and does not bear grudges. Please follow me."
Yang Qing nodded silently and walked into Taoist Dharma with Qingfeng, but faintly heard Pan Shangxian talking to himself in the middle, "In the second year of Yongjia, the bandits secretly broke out, the Shangqing Palace was destroyed, and my brother was injured by the thieves and almost died. I felt sorry for him, but I laughed and said, "How can I achieve the right result without going through seventy-two kalpas? My brother has already achieved Taoism, but I was angry at yesterday's attack. It's a pity! It's ridiculous!"
Yang Ming could hear it clearly, and he couldn't help but respect it deeply. In the second year of Yongjia, it happened three hundred years ago. The immortal was beaten by Yang Yuanqing yesterday. Not only was he not annoyed, but he regarded it as a practice. He would never be able to do such cultivation.
Yang Qing walked into the room and bowed, "The disciple was stupid, he did not know the essence of the immortal, he was negligent, and he looked for the immortal to forgive his sins!"
Pan Dan narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly, "Your Highness is a mortal, how can you understand the exquisiteness of Taoism? I am not worried about it, but Your Highness's seal hall is dark and has a weak spirit. Everything is not going well recently. I advise Your Highness to enter the Taoist hall more to seek protection from the Three Pure Ones."
Pan Danzhi's words hit Yang Ming's thoughts, and he couldn't help but burst into tears and said, "The father wants to cut off my way to the East Palace. The villain is rampant, seizes our military power, and insults my crown. The disciples are worried and ask the immortal to relieve their worries."
Pan Dan introduced Yang Hing into his trap step by step. Seeing that Yang Hing had believed in him, he knew that the time had come and sighed, "Last year, I told Your Highness that the five elements belong to wood, and his surname is Yang. The wood is too strong. You should use gold to destroy it. Do you still remember it?"
Yang Hing nodded, "Disciple remember, I added military armor to the 5,000 dead soldiers for this to increase their gold energy. Isn't that enough?"
"Your Highness is a dragon son, and his wood is of great strength. How can you compare with ordinary people? In the past, the Qin Emperor was the emperor of the emperor. When he heard that Jinling had dragon energy, he sent 100,000 soldiers to dig canals to cut the dragon veins to cut off the dragon veins. Your Highness is the emperor's son, and only 5,000 people were wearing armor, so what should he do?"
"I am stupid and look for the immortals to pity me and point out a clear path. I will build the palace and help the immortals to practice."
What Pan Dan wants is not as simple as one or two temples, but no matter what he wants, the first priority is to control Yang Hing and hold him firmly in his own hands.
Pan Dan sighed, "Although you and I don't have the name of a master or a disciple, I have the affection of a master or a disciple. Even if I reveal the secrets of heaven for you, I am willing to bear the punishment of heaven."
Yang Qing kowtowed twice and said in tears: "Master clearly!"
"You have suffered repeated hardships recently because two woods are pressed down on you. One wood is poplar and the other wood is ebony. Can Your Highness understand?"
When Yang Ming heard Yang Mu, he suddenly thought of Yang Yuanqing. Isn’t it just Yang Mu? He suddenly realized it, but he was confused about the meaning of ebony and kowtowed and said, “I already understand the meaning of ebony, but ebony disciples don’t know it, and I don’t know the person with the surname Wu.”
"No!"
Pan Dan laughed and said, "Popular wood is a yang wood, born under the sun, so Your Highness can see it, but ebony wood is a yin wood, a vilish wood, born under the dark ground, and of course your Highness cannot see it. Your Highness is pressed by this yin and yang wood, just like the Taoist yin and yang energy locked, how can your Highness be invincible?"
"Disciple probably understands that it is easy to avoid open guns, but hidden arrows are difficult to prevent. The open guns are Yang Yuanqing and Yang Mu. The hidden arrows should be ebony, but the disciples don't know what ebony means. I hope the master can make it clear."
Pan Dan has been dealing with Yang Ming for more than a year, and he can be said to have a thorough understanding of Yang Ming. He knows that this person is stupid and suspicious. He has taken great pains to attract Yang Ming step by step. On the one hand, he wants to make Yang Ming believe in him, give him wealth for a lifetime, and avenge him. On the other hand, he must get rid of anyone who affects Yang Ming’s trust in him.
He knew that Yang Hing was extremely superstitious about the theory of the Five Elements. Since childhood, there were Taoists who said that he was too heavy in wood, and his mother often mentioned this matter. Yang Hing was deeply convinced of his fate of metal and wood. So last year he used this to gain Yang Hing's trust. Today he still used this to make a fuss and must use Yang Hing's hands to get rid of his obstacles and realize his dream of lifelong wealth.
Pan Dan said slowly: "Ebony is a hiding place that can be completed for thousands of years. Most of them are used to hate victory. Generally, it will only take ten feet a radius to achieve its effect. Your Highness can search within ten feet and you will definitely gain something."
After saying that, Pan Dan closed his eyes and said no more. Yang Ming still didn't understand, for example, where should we count from the range of ten feet? But Pan Dan had already entered a state of meditation and refused to say another word. Helplessly, Yang Ming had to get up and walk out.
Qingfeng sent him out of the Taoist temple. Yang Qing frowned and asked, "Master Qingfeng, where do you think the range of ten feet your master said should start?"
Qingfeng smiled and said, "My master can see through the past three hundred years, but he dare not reveal the secrets easily, so he never says it explicitly, and always uses things to describe people. But he has already expressed the answer in his words, just hoping that the listener will understand it himself. Does Your Highness understand?"
Yang Hsing sighed and said, "I am stupid and can't realize it. Can Master Qingfeng remind me one or two?"
"Your Highness thinks carefully, under what circumstances is the pressure of the two woods pressing down on the body?"
Yang Ming thought about it, and he suddenly realized, "Bed!"

In Yang Qing's bedroom, more than a dozen trusted guards were carefully searching every inch of land. Within ten feet outside the bedroom, dozens of guards were digging the ground, which seemed to be three feet tall.
At this time, a 'clang!' came from a poplar tree behind the house, and a guard shouted: "Your Highness, you have found it!"
Everyone ran to the house, and Yang Hing also walked quickly. He glanced at the towering poplar trees, and felt something in his heart. He pushed everyone away. He saw an iron box dug out from under the poplar trees, one foot long and three inches thick. Yang Hing stepped forward to pick up the iron box and opened it. Inside the box was a Qilin paperweight carved from ebony, and there was also a villain cut out of paper. The word "Yang Hing" was written on it, which made him grit his teeth. The black Yang double wood pressed his body, which was the meaning.
"Your Highness, this ebony Qilin paperweight looks so familiar, isn't it..." a guard reminded him.
Yang Hing suddenly recognized the paperweight. It turned out to be him. Yang Hing was furious, "I trust him so much, but he was assassinated by me!"
