At the foot of Longhu Mountain, in front of the gate tower of the Tianshi Mansion, Wen Tao and Zhang Zifan each held their mounts and stood there, looking at the people from the Tianshi Mansion on the bluestone steps.
According to the custom of Tianshi Mansion, these two days are the days when fasting, worshiping, and Wenchang rituals are held.
When Zhang Xuanling was still in the Tianshi Mansion, he used to do it himself. However, in recent years, the number of high-level masters in the Tianshi Mansion has gradually become rarer, and the original grand gathering has also been simplified.
Xu Huan, the master of the wine ceremony, was sending people from other Taoist sects down the mountain, and he happened to meet Zhang Zifan and his wife, who had a dusty look on their faces.
"Real person, this is..."
Due to the grand meeting on the mountain, all the Taoist priests who were originally accepted by the mountain sect were called back, so seeing Zhang Zifan and Wen Tao looking like they had come from afar but no one was receiving them, the elders in charge of this aspect of the Tianshi Mansion were a little embarrassed.
Xu Huannian was only in her thirties, and she was once one of the most beautiful women in the Taoist sect. However, the past ten years since Zhang Xuanling disappeared and her son was taken away from her, caused several wrinkles to appear at the corners of her eyes.
It also seems a bit gentler.
"It's okay. The gate of Tianshi's Mansion is open. If there are visitors from far away, we won't neglect it, right?"
At this moment, everyone in the Tianshi Mansion, together with people from all Taoist sects, had already reached the platform below the gatehouse, and only then did a young man in Taoist robes step forward to greet Zhang Zifan and Wen Tao.
As for Xu Huan, it was natural to see off guests.
"You two, today's Wenchang ritual has ended. If you come here because of this, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up..."
The young Taoist priest bowed to Zhang Zifan and said politely.
"If you two have other things to do, please follow the trail up the mountain..."
Zhang Zifan and Wen Tao looked at each other and hesitated for a moment. He came to Longhu Mountain to look for his biological parents at Wen Tao's words. Logically speaking, it was just a side matter.
But how should he speak...
At this time, Wen Tao's mouth and nose hidden behind the gauze moved. He looked at Xu Huan who was walking further and further over there, and said: "Little Taoist Priest, can you let the brother next to me see the sacrificial wine?" Real person.”
Want to see the real person offering wine?
The little Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Zhang Zifan, and then shook his head.
"Zhenzhen has something important to do. If you two have something to do, you can find other Taoist priests on the mountain. Today, Zhenren is really busy..."
As he said this, the little Taoist priest pointed at the mountain.
"Why don't you two stay in Tianshi's Mansion for a while? If you really want to meet the real person, go to Xiaodao and talk to the real person later. How about meeting you two later when the real person finds a place?"
Zhang Zifan didn't pretend. He only knew that Wen Tao asked him to come to Tianshi Mansion to find the truth and then find his biological parents. He didn't know anything else.
Perhaps this Jijiu Master knows the inside story.
As for Wen Tao, he was also choked at this moment.
According to his idea, he would take Zhang Zifan to the Tianshi Mansion and then meet Li Jing. There was nothing he wanted to know about the inside story.
How about going to live in this mountain first?
After all, this is the place where Zhang Zifan lived when he was a child, so he might be able to recall something.
"Then I'm sorry to trouble you, Taoist Master. If the real person has some free time, please be sure to let us know."
Xu Huan and the others had disappeared by now, and Wen Tao and Zhang Zifan had no choice but to follow the young Taoist priest towards the Tianshi Mansion on the mountain.
But as soon as they stepped into the gatehouse, they heard the sound of two more horse hooves coming from behind.
At this moment, at the foot of the Tianshi Mansion, there were only Zhang Zifan and the young Taoist priest. Hearing that someone else was coming, the little Taoist priest had some doubts on his face, and he was about to turn around and go back.
I saw two figures, a young man and an old man, sitting on each of the two horses.
The young man carries a sword case on his back, his hair is tied with a hair crown, and he is wearing a black military uniform with narrow sleeves. He looks very handsome.
As for the old man, his hair and beard are all white, and his beard is carefully trimmed. The clothes on her body looked a bit ill-fitting and looked a bit weird.
Wen Tao's eyes lit up. He originally thought that Li Jing would at most let someone come to the Tianshi Mansion and he would stay in the army, but he never thought that he would come in person.
So, the white-haired old man next to him is the contemporary Heavenly Master Zhang Xuanling...
Zhang Zifan had seen Li Jing's mask in Tongwen Hall before. Although it was just a quick glance, from the information he heard later, he knew that the person next to Bago that day was Li Jing, and he deliberately recorded it in his memory. The face is drawn.
What's more, there is also that extremely distinctive sword box.
Therefore, how could I not recognize Li Jing?
But for a moment, he didn't expect that Li Jing had any trouble. Zhang Zifan just stood there silently.
He glanced at the white-haired old man next to Li Jing, then looked away casually, thinking to himself.
The little Taoist priest confessed his crime to Wen Tao and the others, and then strode forward.
"Two benefactors, may I ask what they came to the Tianshi Mansion for?"
At this moment, Li Jing and Zhang Xuanling had both dismounted from their horses, each holding the reins. They looked curiously to both sides, and then looked at Zhang Zifan opposite, who had a strange look on his face, and smiled secretly in their hearts.
Li Jing glanced at Zhang Xuanling and saw a complicated expression on his face, without revealing his identity.
Come to think of it, this young Taoist priest has probably never seen this contemporary Celestial Master.
After thinking about it, Li Jing looked at the little Taoist priest with a smile.
"Taoist Priest, please introduce the two of us to Master Jijiu. We have important matters to discuss with Master Jijiu."
Are you also meeting the real person offering sacrifices to wine?
The little Taoist priest was a little confused and couldn't figure it out for a while. He glanced at Li Jing and Zhang Zifan suspiciously, and then looked at Zhang Zifan and Zhang Zifan downstairs.
"These two donors are also seeking to offer sacrifices to Master Jiu. You..."
Li Jing nodded slightly and glanced at Zhang Zifan and Wen Tao with a smile.
"We are together, please ask the Taoist priest to introduce us."
Wen Tao didn't know that Zhang Zifan recognized Li Jing. He thought that Li Jing would hide his identity and pretend to be a stranger to them, but he never thought that it would be revealed now.
Hearing what he said, Wen Tao naturally stepped forward.
"Qin..."
Li Jing bowed his hands and looked at Zhang Zifan next to him.
"Brother Zhang, after we said goodbye, you wouldn't have imagined that it would be like this when you and I meet again, right?"
As soon as he said these words, Wen Tao could see Zhang Xuanling next to Li Jing, his eyes instantly looked at Zhang Zifan in astonishment, and his originally complicated expression became excited.
But after a moment, his excited expression turned into hesitant, complicated, and even a little timid...
Zhang Zifan paused for a moment, then finally said something.
"I'm here to see the King of Qin."
