Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Brother Gu laughed at me. If Brother Gu hadn't arrived in time, I would be in trouble again."

"With your temperament, even if you know that there will be trouble, you will still do it under the circumstances at the time." Gu Baiyi exclaimed, "You have a chivalrous heart. This is what people who stay in Kyoto lack most. I only hope that your valiant heart will never disappear."

Qin Xiao asked: "Brother, what is the origin of the real Hongling? Even the people in Kyoto must be driven by him?"

"Don't talk about Kyoto Prefecture. In fact, even the Lu Butang of the Xing Department has a little jealousy towards him." Gu Baiyi said in a low voice, "Although he is not in the palace, he belongs to the palace."

Qin Xiao frowned and said: "Where do you start?"

"On the side of Sipingfang is Tongyifang." Gu Baiyi whispered: "When people in Kyoto mention Tongyifang, the first thing they think of is the view of longevity. Tongyifang belongs to Xiaofang in Kyoto, only Four hundred households. Among the 108 houses in Kyoto, most of them are private houses. Tongyifang also belongs to private houses, but apart from Tongyifang, there are at least a thousand households in other private houses. Do you know why Tongyifang only has 400 households?"

Qin Xiao thought for a while and said, "Is it because of the longevity outlook?"

"Exactly." Gu Baiyi said: "The View of Longevity is the first Taoist temple in Kyoto. Although it is not very magnificent, there are no residential houses nearby, so it occupies a large area of ​​land. There are two to three hundred Taoists in the Taoist Temple of Longevity. , And the incense is not bad. Many believers in Kyoto will go to Changshengguan to pay homage to Taoist ancestors. This Hongling real person really has some ways in the hearts of the people of Kyoto."

Qin Xiao became interested and asked: "What do you say?"

"Although Hongling is a Taoist priest, there are two examples of things that will make him feel like a fish in Kyoto." Gu Baiyi explained: "The first thing is that there is a resurrection technique. In fact, these words are exaggerated and straightforward. Be white, this person's medical skills are very good. Some incurable diseases that the imperial physicians in the palace can't solve, he can treat, as long as he donates enough incense money, he can still treat it whether it is a high-ranking official or a poor citizen. "

Qin Xiao was a little surprised, and said: "In this way, his medical skills are really good."

"He was able to gain a foothold in Kyoto. From the very beginning, he relied on the treatment of high-ranking officials and nobles." Gu Baiyi said: "In his hands, he did save some people. But this person is very greedy for money. You have money, he No matter what you mean, he will help you heal your illness. If you have no talent, even if you are noble, he will ignore it. But then again, if you are noble, why don’t you have no talent? Ordinary people are really going to get serious illnesses. There must be money to ask an ordinary doctor for diagnosis and treatment. How can I get him? The so-called incense money he collects is more than ten times higher than that of ordinary doctors. When he comes to him, he uses money to buy his life."

Gu Baiyi took a sip of tea and continued: "His other ability is to make alchemy."

"Alchemy?"

"In fact, when Emperor Dezong, the first emperor, there were alchemists secretly alchemy for the first emperor." Gu Baiyi smiled faintly, and said: "The dream of ordinary people is to be able to eat three meals a day and have a full belly, and to wear clothes in winter. Well, when the country is rich or powerful or powerful, of course, what they want is different from ordinary people. What they want is to be able to live forever."

Qin Xiao sneered: "Since ancient times, I have never heard of people who are immortal."

"But since ancient times, there has never been a shortage of people who want to live forever." Gu Baiyi sighed and said lightly: "Even if you can't live forever, if you can extend it

It’s good to live longer and live longer. "

Qin Xiao realized something immediately and whispered: "Big brother, you mean, saint... also wants to live forever?"

"Naturally, I have this idea too." Gu Baiyi said calmly: "But the saint may not really believe in being immortal, but...!" He stopped talking, after all, he got closer to Qin Xiao. He whispered: "Although the sage does not necessarily believe that he can really live forever, he can maintain his beauty and even prolong life. The sage should be convinced, otherwise he would not spend a lot of money in the view of longevity. As far as I know, inside The biggest expense of the library every year is spent on the view of longevity."

Qin Xiao asked: "Brother, where is this inner library?"

"Brothers do not know. There are two places for taxation in this world. One is the household department, which is also known to everyone. It is called the national treasury, but in addition to the national treasury, there is another one dedicated to protecting the palace. The inner library of the degree.” Gu Baiyi smiled lightly: “The inner library in the palace is the private library of the emperor. As early as the previous dynasty, the inner library already existed. Although it is not the land of the king, the emperor sometimes wants If you use the money of the treasury for your own affairs, everyone will know it. If there are upright officials blocking it, it will be a little troublesome. So it is much more convenient for the emperor to use the money to set up an internal treasury."

Qin Xiao thought that this was true.

"The source of the silver in the inner treasury is mainly derived from the tax on mountains, rivers, forests, and taxes, and the tax on salt and iron. In addition, there are also the tribute of the vassal kingdom and the confiscated family property. Part of the tax collected by the foreign treasury must be charged into the inner treasury "Gu Baiyi explained: "The cost of tens of thousands of people in the palace will also fall on the inner library."

"The view of longevity is for alchemy for the saints, so the cost can't be allocated from the treasury." Qin Xiao whispered: "So this money should also be paid from the inner library?"

Gu Baiyi smiled faintly, and said: "The weakness of the national treasury does not mean that the inner treasury has no money. The view of longevity is for the saints to refine the elixir. The elixir is used to maintain the face and nourish the body and prolong the life. The materials required are extremely expensive, but every year, it will become a car. Di Yun entered the Taoist temple, it can be seen that the saint’s trust in the real Hongling man. I am in a low status, and naturally I have never seen a saint, but since the saint trusts him so much, I want to come to those medicines to have some effect. It is also because of the saint. The Taoist priests of the view of longevity are very rampant from top to bottom. Today, no lives have been killed. Even if they are really killed, Hong Ling will have nothing to do. Naturally, someone will wipe his butt."

Qin Xiao's face was solemn, and what he saw and heard in Kyoto made him feel cold everywhere. It is no wonder that the empire has been weakened so far, and the dignified Kyoto is everywhere. How can such a country be good.

"Mr. Hongling has been in the view of longevity for nearly ten years. Over the years, there have been no lives lost in their hands." Gu Baiyi sighed softly, "After every murder, the matter will be nothing in the end. , It’s nothing more than spending some money. The view of longevity is not short of money, so in their eyes, human fate is really nothing."

Qin Xiao sneered: "Such a person deserves to die."

"Today you have a grudge with the View of Longevity. Honourable Hongling is afraid that he will not let go." Gu Baiyi groaned slightly, and finally said: "Brother, it's impossible. You should leave Kyoto as soon as possible. This gentleman is a combative villain. It's hard to guard against. If the Taoist priests secretly attacked, they would be hard to guard against."

"Big brother don't have to worry about me. After Lieutenant Han's affairs, he and I will leave Kyoto immediately." Qin Xiao said: "I really don't want to stay in such a ghost place."

Gu Baiyi smiled slightly and stood up and said: "I have to go back to the yamen as an errand, you are late

If nothing happens, go to my place for dinner. "

"I will naturally go there when I have time." Qin Xiao smiled and said, "By the way, did you buy the cruise ship for sister Qiu Niang?"

"The price of the new ship has gone up again. My sister is reluctant to buy it. She wants to buy an old ship. However, there is no old ship recently, so she wants to wait a few days and look for it slowly." Gu Baiyi smiled and said, "You Don’t worry, you will never starve to death."

Qin Xiaodao: "You persuade her to buy a new boat. I still have some money here...!" Gu Baiyi was about to fetch the money, but Gu Baiyi already shook his head and said, "If you bring good wine and food, I don’t refuse anyone who comes, but I can’t collect the money. I still have salaries, so I save a little bit. If there is a shortage of money someday, I will talk to you again. Leave.

In the dead of night, Qin Xiao sat in meditation for a long time and practiced [Taigu Yiqi Jue], only to feel that the changes in his body became more and more subtle.

Although he closes his eyes, he has a very sensitive sense of the surrounding situation. He can even feel the flow of blood in the body, his hearing expands, and he can detect the breathing of other people in the distance, even in the inn. Those subtle footsteps are also clearly sensed.

He was forced to shoot several times in Kyoto, but he was lucky enough to offend several very difficult forces in Kyoto.

He knew that he would be in danger for a day in Kyoto, and that the only one who could protect himself was himself and could not trust anyone, so his martial arts training had become extremely important.

Fortunately, I was shot in the shoulder by the archer. When the arrow poison invaded, I resisted by luck. By coincidence, I let myself break through the middle of the sky in an incredible way. With my current strength, ordinary people really can't help it. Yourself.

But Kyoto Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger, although he is a fourth-rank Zhongtian Realm, it is really difficult to deal with a real master.

His stamina was unprecedented, and after practicing for a while, he only felt refreshed. Although it was late at night, he was very energetic and did not feel a trace of sleep.

Went to the window, gently opened one of the windows, and swept across the street. When March, the cold moon was quiet, and the street was silent, his eyesight was amazing. Suddenly he found that under the eaves diagonally opposite, There seemed to be a figure standing there seriously.

The figure did not move, standing quietly under the eaves, if it weren't for Qin Xiao's good eyesight, it would hardly be possible to find the figure.

He frowned, and in the middle of the night, the man was standing there all in black, not eating and doing nothing, his eyes fixed on the figure, and soon, the figure clearly found himself being stared at by Qin Xiao. Seeing the figure moving lightly, he suddenly turned and left.

Qin Xiao sneered in his heart. He was about to close the window, shook his body suddenly, and stuck his head out again. Under the moonlight, he saw that the figure had turned into an alley.

"Hongye!" Qin Xiao uttered two words, with a shocked expression on his face.

He didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when the figure turned and left, Qin Xiao suddenly remembered that his figure and movement looked like red leaves.

At the beginning, he killed Langshenshui in Turtle City. The Zhen family mobilized the wolf ride to search for the murderer. Hong Ye and Xiao Shigu protected themselves from the Turtle City. That night when Hong Ye sent herself away, they were also wearing night clothes, Qin Xiao The movement of her figure was engraved in his mind. The figure just now was also a black night walker, and the movements were light and agile, which was exactly the same as the memory of Hong Ye in his mind.
