There is a bamboo courtyard halfway up the main peak of Zhongshan. Bamboo fences, bamboo houses, and small guardrails in the flower garden are all made of bamboo. The courtyard is also surrounded by patches of green bamboo, and the breeze blowing from the mountain

It was as if a small hand was gently stroking them, causing the bamboo forest to make a pleasant and crisp sound.

With such beautiful scenery, no matter who is in it, they will have a feeling of being far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, forgetting all the worldly worries, and the mind will become empty and peaceful, making people forget to leave and cannot bear to leave.

When Zhang Lingyun came here, she couldn't help but feel a little sour in her heart, and tears gradually appeared in the corners of her eyes. From an ignorant toddler to a graceful young girl, she spent ten years here.

Over the years, a simple bamboo house in the west has been her residence for ten years.

"Senior sister, are you not in love with the scenery? The master of your house has been keeping it for you and won't let the sisters move in." Geng Wenjun stretched out his little hand and waved it in front of Zhang Lingyun's eyes, saying a little naughtily.

"Ah?" Zhang Lingyun was suddenly interrupted from her thoughts, and immediately came to her senses. She stretched out her trembling hands nervously, and with a "squeak" sound, she pushed open the small fence door, and walked towards it quickly with a complicated and unclear mood.

There is a bamboo house in the middle.

A beautiful Taoist nun is sitting in it. Although her face is neither sad nor happy, she exudes a vigorous and heroic posture invisibly. Although her eyes are calm and calm, there is a vague power that cannot be violated. Take a closer look.

In retrospect, her temperament is somewhat similar to Zhang Lingyun.

This Taoist nun is a famous heroine in history, named Xun Guanniang. She is thirty years old, just five or six years older than Zhang Lingyun. When Xun Guanniang was thirteen years old, her father, Pingnan General Xun Song, was stationed in Wancheng.

She was besieged by tens of thousands of bandits led by Du Zeng, the leader of the bandits. When no one in the city dared to break through the siege and ask for help, she asked for orders to single-handedly break out of the siege and bring in reinforcements. She defeated the bandits and solved the siege of Wancheng.

Hearing the sound, the Taoist nun looked up, with a look of disbelief on her face. She asked with surprise and joy: "Lingyun, is it you? Why are you back?"

Zhang Lingyun hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down in front of the Taoist nun, and saluted: "Disciple, please see your master. Is your master okay?"

The Taoist nun helped Zhang Lingyun up and looked at her, nodding her head and saying: "Okay, okay, everything goes well for me as a teacher, but how have you been doing these years, Lingyun?"

Zhang Lingyun nodded, then shook his head, his lips murmuring but no sound came out.

The Taoist nun frowned and asked: "Lingyun, has something happened? Come and tell me, my master. I want to see who has the courage to bully you!"

"Master~!" After being asked this question, a sense of sourness quickly surged into her heart. Zhang Lingyun could no longer bear it and threw herself into the arms of the Taoist nun who was more like a sister. She cried loudly and talked about the recent past intermittently.

Her experiences in the past few years and the changes that her Zhang family has suffered.

The Taoist nun hugged Zhang Lingyun and listened silently, but a trace of sadness gradually appeared on her face. Geng Wenjun stood aside in a daze, obviously not expecting such a tragic incident to happen to the senior sister's home.

For a moment, I didn't know how to comfort him.

After a long while, Zhang Lingyun stopped crying, sat up and apologized: "Master, please forgive me for being rude."

The Taoist nun sighed: "Hey~! I became a master of martial arts fourteen years ago and traveled all over the world. I heard that your ancestor Zhang Guili governed the Qingming Dynasty and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment under his rule. So I went to Liangzhou to find out what happened, and accidentally saw that you have extraordinary bones.

, because of his excellent aptitude, he thought of taking on a disciple, and thus became acquainted with your father. Your father spoke well and had a kind heart, and his words often showed compassion for the common people, which made him admire him very much.

What he has done since taking office has indeed been consistent with his words and deeds, which is a blessing to Liangzhou. Unexpectedly, it has been 14 years since we parted ways in such a hurry, but our old friend has already suffered the disaster of Xiaoqiang, which is really sad. "

After sighing for a while, the Taoist nun continued to ask: "Lingyun, what are your plans for the future?"

Zhang Lingyun wiped the corners of her eyes and begged: "I would like to accompany you, Master, and I also ask for Master's permission."

The Taoist nun immediately looked hesitant and said reproachfully: "Lingyun, your family has suffered a terrible disaster. I understand how you feel, but you are already married, how can you abandon your family and husband? You are willing to stay at home and become your master."

I'm happy, but what about your husband? Do you just have the heart to abandon him?"

There was a look of panic on Zhang Lingyun's face, and she said in panic: "Master, please be clear. I have never had such an idea. I just came up with it to relax my mind. Besides, Yun Lang has agreed with the disciple for three years.

He will come to Jiankang within the year to look for his disciples, and his disciples will naturally follow him."

The Taoist nun's face softened a little, and she nodded and said: "In that case, you can stay here first. Have you lost your skills in these years?"

Zhang Lingyun said respectfully: "Master, this disciple has entered Hua Jin years ago."

"Oh?" The Taoist nun was overjoyed and carefully observed the changes in Zhang Lingyun's energy and blood. After a moment, she said happily: "Lingyun, you have a good appearance and quality. I was indeed not wrong when I was a teacher."

Zhang Lingyun shook her head and said: "This is not the merit of the disciple. If it were not for Yun Lang's help, the disciple would probably never make any progress in his life." Then she told her master about Yun Feng's life story and asked: "Master

Have you ever heard of Xingyimen?”

The Taoist nun looked deep in thought, and it took her a long time before she slowly said, "I've never heard of it, but I'm going to ask my master today. Your master is very knowledgeable, so he might be able to hear it."

Zhang Lingyun saluted and said: "Disciple has thanked Master. I wonder how Master is doing lately?"

"Tsk~!" The Taoist nun chuckled and said: "Your master is still the same. He is more than a hundred years old, but he acts like a child and is disrespectful to his elders. But in recent years, he has gotten involved with Ge Hong.

Together, we have been studying the art of lead and mercury all day long, just thinking about immortality." Just as he was talking, he suddenly thought of something, and said to himself: "No! Lingyun, supposedly your husband is about to die.

With such ability, and the Xingyimen being so unpredictable, how could it be possible that he was born as a slave? There must be something fishy about this matter!"

"Huh?" Zhang Lingyun was speechless for a moment. To be honest, she hadn't really thought about this aspect, but when she thought about it carefully, it made some sense.

Seeing Zhang Lingyun's expression, the Taoist nun said angrily: "Aren't you afraid of being cheated if you don't find out all the details of someone else's family when you get married? Forget it, let's wait until that kid comes to find you. I'm a teacher.

Investigate him carefully, if he has ulterior motives, hum! He will not be leniently spared!"

Then his face softened: "When I mentioned your husband, I remembered something. The envoy who requested the title for him three days ago came to Jiankang, but he hasn't had the chance to meet the Lord yet. Lingyun, please tell me.

Look, what kind of official title should you give your husband?"

Zhang Lingyun muttered: "Except for Duke Xiping, the rest are decided by the Lord."

The Taoist nun understood Zhang Lingyun's thoughts, nodded, and thought: "This man is young, so he will be granted a title for a while. Tomorrow I will be my master and send a message to Yuan Gui, asking him to talk to the master and draft a Taoist edict.

Does Lingyun think it is appropriate to designate your husband as Marquis of Nanzheng, General of Pingxi, Kaifu Yitong and the Third Division, leader of Liang Province as pastor, and governor of the military affairs of Liang, Qin, Yong, and Liang?"

Zhang Lingyun bowed deeply and said: "Disciple thanks Master on behalf of Yun Lang."

The Taoist nun waved her hand indifferently: "Lingyun doesn't need to be polite. You know the situation now. It's just a name. By the way, Lingyun, are you ready to go to the palace to see the Lord tomorrow?"

Zhang Lingyun shook her head: "Disciple, it's better not to go. I want to use these three years to cultivate quietly for a while, hoping to make further progress."

The Taoist nun agreed: "That's fine, your original house has been reserved for you, so you can just stay there." Then she ordered Geng Wenjun, who was standing stupidly aside, "Wenjun, take your senior sister to get it."

Clean up the house."
