Xu Zhuang said lightly: "Senior Brother Daochen brought me to this world to take charge of the True Form Observation on my behalf."
Taoist Zhang was stunned for a moment when he heard the words. Thousands of thoughts arose in his heart. He thought about it again and again, and finally settled down. He bowed his head and said: "Yes, since it is the arrangement of the sect, I should obey it. I will call for you now." Get the leader's seal and ask Uncle Master to wait a moment."
After hearing the two people's words, Zeng Quanfeng opened his mouth again and again, but finally remained silent and acquiesced to the matter.
Xu Zhuang nodded secretly, but suddenly smiled on his face, waved his hand and said, "Having said that, I am not good at handling worldly affairs, so the position of head of the clan is still not obtained by force from nephew Zhang."
Taoist Zhang hesitated: "This? But isn't this the order of the Shangzong?"
Xu Zhuang smiled and said: "I am just acting as the head of the family. I also asked my nephew Zhang to serve as an elder. Naturally, I will have to intervene in the affairs of the family in the future."
Upon hearing this, Taoist Zhang hurriedly said: "This is the proper meaning. I will need more guidance from Master Xu in the future."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Daoren felt relieved. It was not because he was greedy for power and was unwilling to give up his position as the leader. In fact, since Dao Chen left and Zhang Daoren took over as the leader, he has been working for nearly three hundred years. Over the years, I have been working hard for the true form view and taking care of everything. Even my cultivation has made Junior Brother Zeng and Junior Brother Meng catch up and surpass them.
Although this Master Xu came from the Sect, it was unknown what kind of person he was, what kind of behavior he had, and what kind of methods he used... It was all unknown. For a moment, it was so difficult for Taoist Zhang to hand over his position as the leader. It is inevitable to worry.
Xu Zhuang nodded and said: "My nephew is serious. I first came to this world and I don't understand everything in the meditation. I need to learn more from my nephew."
Daoren Zhang didn't dare to say anything, and the two of them exchanged some polite words. Zeng Quanfeng would interject from time to time. Daoren Zhang suddenly tapped his forehead and shouted: "Oh, my uncle has come from afar and hasn't settled down yet, but it's really... It's my nephew who didn't think carefully."
He hurriedly called the Taoist boy and ordered him to prepare the cave. He then said to Xu Zhuang, "Uncle Xu, please wait a moment."
Xu Zhuang nodded slightly, said it was okay, and then responded to Zeng Quanfeng's question about Taoism. Seeing that Xu Zhuang had no intention of blaming him, Taoist Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, the Taoist boy came to report. Taoist Zhang hurriedly said to Xu Zhuang, "Uncle Master, the cave is ready. Please move."
Xu Zhuang nodded in agreement, and then stood up together with Zhang Daoren. Xue Yuren, who had been silent all the time, saw what happened and hurried to follow.
Zeng Quanfeng discussed Taoism with Xu Zhuang. After just a few words, he was already deeply impressed by this uncle's Taoism attainments. He secretly praised: "I heard that all of the true teachings of Shangzong were made just like the master, and they refined the top-grade golden elixir." This character, when I see him now, is indeed extraordinary."
Seeing that Xu Zhuang was going to settle down in the cave, Zeng Quanfeng hesitated for a moment, but still felt itchy and hurriedly followed.
Zhang Daoren led the way, leading the group to climb a high peak, and came to an open bluestone gate. He said humbly: "The cave is simple, so I ask my uncle to take care of it."
Xu Zhuang glanced at it and saw that the cave was quite vast and full of spiritual energy. He nodded and said: "This mansion is very good." He turned his head and told Xue Yuren: "Jade man, clean up the cave."
Since Xu Zhuang set foot in Yunlan Prefecture, he has taken Xue Yuren with him to do whatever he wants.
Xue Yuren responded with an expressionless expression and bowed, saying: "Yes, sir." Then she went into the house.
Zhang Daoren said: "I haven't asked yet, but this is my uncle's concubine? I don't know how to call her?"
"It's just a maid." Xu Zhuang responded casually, took two steps to the side, and looked up, and he could see the magnificent scene of the waterfall pouring down from the sky that day. In his spiritual consciousness, he could feel it Infinite inspiration bursts out from the waterfall, and the breeze carries water vapor and blows past your face, making you feel refreshed physically and mentally.
Xu Zhuang's expression changed, and he suddenly had a guess at the benefits of practice mentioned by the headmaster, and asked: "Master Zhang, I wonder if it is possible to practice in Tianbao today?"
Zhang Daoren was stunned and replied: "Although the Heavenly Waterfall is full of spiritual power, the power pouring out from the Heavenly Waterfall is very terrifying. I'm afraid I won't be able to practice cultivation inside."
Xu Zhuang frowned slightly, but Zeng Quanfeng suddenly said: "When I just bowed to the door, the master was practicing in the waterfall."
Daoren Zhang said in a deep voice: "Master was already a monk at the second level of Gangyun and Nascent Soul at that time..." At this point, Daoren Zhang's expression changed slightly and explained: "My nephew is not questioning my uncle's skills. OK, but the power of the waterfall today is more terrifying than the top of the mountain, and it is endless..."
Xu Zhuang nodded thoughtfully and said with a smile, "It's okay, I'm just asking random questions."
Hearing what Xu Zhuang said, Taoist Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to say something else, suddenly there was a movement on the mountain road. It seemed that the Taoist boy had stopped someone. Taoist Zhang frowned and called out: "What happened below?" What's the matter?"
A young disciple passed over the Taoist boy and said loudly: "Master, Lianyun Mountain is reporting urgently."
Hearing this, Taoist Zhang and Zeng Quanfeng's expressions changed one after another. They looked at each other and Taoist Zhang said: "Uncle, I would like to ask you to rest. My nephew has some affairs to deal with, so I won't accompany you."
Zeng Quanfeng's face was as dark as water. Hearing Taoist Zhang's words, he did not say anything. He silently bowed to Xu Zhuang and left with him.
Xu Zhuang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is there something important that I, the elder, cannot hear?"
Taoist Zhang stopped for a moment, with a troubled look on his face, and responded: "Uncle, please don't misunderstand me. Uncle, after a long journey, has not yet settled in the cave. This is just a minor matter, and my nephew can handle it."
Xu Zhuang smiled and said, "Since it's a trivial matter, why bother to report it?"
After saying this, he ignored Taoist Zhang and turned his gaze to Zeng Quanfeng. See how my nephew handles the affairs of the family."
Zhang Dao opened and closed his mouth, not daring to disobey Xu Zhuang, but smiled bitterly.
When Zeng Quanfeng saw this, he immediately bowed, turned and walked two steps, calling: "Tong'er, let Dengxiao come up and report."
Tong'er responded, quickly put down his arm that was blocking the young disciple, clasped his hands and said, "Senior Brother Qin, please."
Qin Dengxiao nodded. Although he was in a hurry, he straightened his crown and straightened his clothes. Then he climbed to the top of the mountain and met several people. He bowed respectfully and said, "I've met the master, I've met Master Zeng. "
Zeng Quanfeng nodded, and first said: "This is Master Xu, the elder of the sect. I'm still not polite." Then he introduced Xu Zhuang: "Dengxiao is the disciple among the new generation of the sect who is most likely to build the foundation of perfection. one."
"Elder? Master uncle?" Qin Dengxiao looked surprised. Hearing Zeng Quanfeng's words, he hurriedly said: "Uncle Master, you are so complimentary." Then he bowed and saluted, "I have met Elder Xu."
Xu Zhuang accepted the gift with his hands behind his hands, nodded slightly and said, "Not bad."
Zeng Quanfeng had been admiring the Shangzong for a long time, and knew that there were probably not a few talented disciples like Qin Dengxiao among the Shangzong. Xu Zhuang's indifferent attitude was not beyond his expectation, so he asked Qin Dengxiao: "What's the matter, so panicked?" Are you panicking?"
Qin Dengxiao held up a page of talisman book with both hands and said: "Uncle Master, I have received a letter from Lianyun Mountain. Master Taishi of Moyun Sect has arrived at the foot of Lianyun Mountain with dozens of Moyun disciples and a thousand Taoist soldiers."
"What?" Zeng Quanfeng took the talisman book and glanced at it. He became furious, clenched his fists, and immediately said: "Okay, Taishi'er has rebelled!" As he spoke, his figure suddenly moved.
Taoist Zhang frowned and shouted, "Junior Brother Zeng!" Zeng Quanfeng stopped in his tracks, his expression changed several times, and then he stepped back in front of the two of them.
Xu Zhuang frowned and asked, "Master Nephew Zhang, Master Nephew Zeng, would you like to tell me the situation first?"
Zeng Quanfeng suddenly apologized: "Uncle, please forgive me, but the Moyun Sect pushed people too hard. My nephew could not contain his anger for a while."
Xu Zhuang said: "It doesn't matter. As I remembered correctly, Moyun Sect is the main sect of Canglan Prefecture? Where is Lianyun Mountain?"
Zeng Quanfeng cupped his hands and said: "Back to my uncle, Moyun Sect is the main sect of Canglan Prefecture. This sect is extremely ambitious and is eyeing our Yunlan Prefecture..."
"As for Lianyun Mountain, it is located where Yunlan Prefecture and Canglan Prefecture are connected. Most of them are in Yunlan Prefecture. This mountain is originally unremarkable and does not cause any controversy."
"Unexpectedly, not long ago, some disciples in the temple unexpectedly discovered that there were several natural stone pools in Lianyun Mountain. This was originally a happy event, but after the Moyun Sect learned about it, they thought of it and issued a decree. Lianyun Mountain is a territory of Canglan Prefecture, and they accuse us of invading the territory of Canglan Prefecture..."
As Zeng Quanfeng told the story, Xu Zhuang gradually understood the matter.
In fact, in the short connecting area between Yunlan Prefecture and Canglan Prefecture, there are few blessings from the Heavenly Waterfall, and there are not many bright ideas. In the past, they have never been too lazy to argue. Even Yunshan is mostly in Yunlan. Among the states, it has always been regarded as a territory of Yunlan State.
However, ordinary people are not guilty, but they are guilty of carrying a jade. This is the same principle in Zhenxingguan and Lianyunshan.
Lianyun Mountain Yun gave birth to a natural stone pool. In this natural stone pool, just by burying a spiritual vein under the pool, a superior spiritual essence called Shichi Lingzhen can be born. Moreover, it is constantly transformed and born in a steady stream. Cultivation treasures are naturally considered precious to a sect, and the concept of true form has been weak for a long time, so Moyun Sect had other ideas.
As Moyun Sect issued the decree, Zhenxing Guan also argued hard and sent disciples to guard Lianyun Mountain. The conflict between the two factions became fierce and there seemed to be signs of an imminent military confrontation.
And what Qin Dengxiao came to report was that the Moyun Sect had already arrived at the city and wanted to force Zhenxiang Guan to give in.
"I see." Xu Zhuang muttered: "Two apprentice nephews, what are you going to do?"
Zeng Quanfeng said angrily: "I have counted Taoist soldiers and had a fight with Moyun Sect! I just want to see where Taishi's son got the courage to march at the foot of Lianyun Mountain."
Zhang Daoren frowned and said: "Junior brother Zeng! Taishi is not something to be afraid of, but after forcing Taishi to retreat, who will he be next? Will he really start a war with Moyun Sect?"
"So what if we start a war? We must let the Moyun Sect know that I, Zhenxingguan, are not easy to mess with." Zeng Quanfeng raised his eyebrows and said, "Besides, the sixteen states have been demarcated. I don't believe that the Moyun Sect really dares to raise troops to invade Yunlan. "
Zhang Daoren said in a deep voice: "Junior Brother Zeng! Our True Form Guan cannot afford to lose any of our disciples now. This kind of thinking will only trap our True Form Guan in a place of eternal destruction."
The two became impatient and started arguing in front of the disciples. Qin Dengxiao obviously didn't know anything about the situation in the door, but just stood aside helplessly.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Elder Xu, the uncle of the mysterious master, suddenly asked: "Dengxiao, right? Do you know how powerful the Moyun Sect is?"
Qin Dengxiao was startled, thought about it, and said uncertainly: "As far as the disciples know, Moyun Sect has tens of thousands of disciples, dozens of Jindan Masters, and the Yuanying Master is in charge..."
Such an answer was too vague. Xu Zhuang asked a few more questions, but he didn't learn much about Moyun Sect.
At this time, I suddenly heard Zeng Quanfeng say loudly: "Zhang Ren! I can't tell you clearly."
Then he turned around, cupped his hands, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Xu, in your opinion, is this Lianyun Mountain a fight or a fight?"
Xu Zhuang frowned slightly. In fact, in terms of personality, he was more inclined to Zeng Quanfeng's side. I retreated and the enemy advanced, and patience was obviously not a good choice. From Zeng Quanfeng's words, it was also known that he was not blindly reckless.
But what Zhang Daoren said is not unreasonable. Moreover, he has just arrived. He neither knows how weak Zhenxing Guan is, nor can he judge the strength comparison between Zhenxing Guan and Moyun Sect. It is also impossible for him to make the final decision to harm the disciples of Zhenxing Guan. disciple.
At this time, Taoist Zhang also came over, cupped his hands and said, "Master Xu, please make the decision."
Xu Zhuang pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "The Moyun Sect has already arrived at the foot of Lianyun Mountain. Why don't we rush to Lianyun Mountain to preside over the situation and see if the Moyun Sect is bluffing before we make a decision?"
Daoren Zhang suddenly realized, "What Uncle Master said is true. Junior Brother Zeng, go quickly and get the Yunzhou out."
Zeng Quanfeng responded in a hurry, but Xu Zhuang stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "Yunzhou's escape speed is too slow. Wouldn't it be faster if we just escape directly?"
Taoist Zhang hesitated and said, "Don't you need to bring your disciples' Taoist soldiers?"
Zeng Quanfeng laughed, pointed at Taoist Zhang and said, "Senior Brother Zhang, look, you don't want to target Taoist soldiers yet."
Zhang Daoren argued: "I'm just taking precautions. If there is a disagreement and weapons are drawn, I will naturally be without the help of Dao soldiers."
Xu Zhuang shook his head and asked, "Then what kind of cultivation is Master Taishi?"
Zeng Quanfeng immediately replied: "Uncle Qi, that Taishi's son is only a low-grade golden elixir, and he has not refined the golden elixir, so there is nothing to worry about."
Xu Zhuang nodded and said: "It seems that the Moyun Sect is just a test move. Doesn't Lian Yunshan itself have a garrison? That's enough. Let's set off directly."
Zeng Quanfeng immediately said: "What my uncle said is that my nephew will lead the way from the front." Then he stamped his feet and directly set up the escape light and flew up into the clouds.
Zhang Daoren shook his head, cupped his hands towards Xu Zhuang and said, "Master, please invite me."
Xu Zhuang was not polite. With a slight movement, his figure suddenly lifted up and turned into a majestic rainbow light that rushed into the clouds. Zhang Daoren quickly followed him. After the two of them flew into the sky, they followed Zeng Quanfeng and escaped. .
