It was dawn that day, in the Patriarch's Hall.
Xu Zhuang's eyes were slightly closed, and he sat cross-legged on the futon at the feet of the jade statue of his ancestor with a calm expression. Half an hour had passed, and just when the incense in the furnace was about to burn out, his expression suddenly changed.
A page of golden book appeared out of thin air in front of the jade statue of the Patriarch, and fluttered down. Xu Zhuang did not see any movement, and the golden book accurately landed in front of his eyes and stopped.
Xu Zhuang opened his eyes, glanced at the contents, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Early this morning, he sent a letter to the Xuanhuang Taisu Sect, clarifying the current situation in the Tianpu Realm, and the possibility of seeking the position of the Great Sect of the Five Domains and the Dharma of the Cave Realm.
And this golden book is the reply to the letter from the door, written by Master Daochen himself.
However, there are only a few sentences in it, saying that Xu Zhuang is in charge of the true form concept and that all matters in the Tianpu world can be considered by himself.
That's all, there was no other words. The sect didn't seem to be very interested in the way of the cave.
Such a result was not too surprising to Xu Zhuang. After a night of quiet thinking, he speculated that the way to the cave was not what it seemed on the surface, and could be compared with the righteous way to the heavens such as the Yuanshen Avenue. Otherwise, Dao Chen would be in charge of the real path. After observing the shape for hundreds of years, how could the door remain indifferent?
Xu Zhuang thought deeply: Maybe in the boundless universe, it is not uncommon for there to be different ways of souls like Dongtian? I wonder if these methods can lead to the Pure Yang Avenue, or even obtain the fruits of the Immortal Family?
Xu Zhuang shook his head, put away the golden book, stood up, and returned out of the hall.
At this time, there was a young disciple waiting outside the hall. When he saw Xu Zhuang coming out, he hurriedly saluted and said: "Elder Xu, the master ordered the disciples to come to summon the disciple. The visitor from the Shinryu Sect has arrived at the door, and the master is receiving him in the main hall."
Xu Zhuang raised his brows and looked at Tianshi. There were still two hours before the appointment. This Young Master Chu Wei was indeed acting wantonly.
"I understand, let's get over it." Xu Zhuang nodded, waved away the young disciple, and then flew away, landing outside the main hall in a moment.
At this time, Xu Zhuang had already heard some noise in the palace. He was not in a hurry. He straightened his clothes and then stepped up the steps and entered the main hall.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw a young prince wearing a white jade crown, with golden eyebrows and forehead, sitting on a chair with a frivolous expression. There were two beautiful girls beside him, one squatting half-crouching on his knees. While serving tea to the young man, a man stood behind the chair, holding a silver-edged bamboo fan with his long fingers, fanning him constantly.
This person is naturally Mr. Chu Wei of the Divine Style Sect.
Taoist Zhang was sitting on the main seat, twirling his long beard in his hand. The two Taoist boys stood aside with their hands hanging, looking at the dandy style of Mr. Chu Wei and exchanging glances with each other.
When Xu Zhuang entered the palace, Master Chu Wei was concentrating on drinking tea while being served by a young girl. He didn't even raise his eyelids for a moment until he heard Taoist Zhang stand up and call out respectfully: "Uncle Master, you are here."
Master uncle? Young Master Chu Wei's heart moved.
As the person in charge of the Shinryu Sect in Fenglan Province, he naturally knew about the Lianyun Mountain incident, and there were even people who traveled thousands of miles to deliver news to him. Therefore, the mysterious master uncle Zhenxingkan had already been in the Shinryu Sect. Got the number.
Mr. Chu Wei pressed his mouth, and the maid moved the tea cup away. When he looked up, he saw a young Taoist priest in a wide robe and long sleeves sitting down opposite him.
Young Master Chu Wei was startled, then seemed to think of something, and suddenly burst out laughing. He bowed and jumped with laughter, and kept slapping the table with his big hands. The maid on his knees quickly held his hand, and the maid behind her leaned down and gently stroked his back. He was still laughing wildly.
The sudden change interrupted the greeting between Taoist Zhang and Xu Zhuang. Taoist Zhang frowned slightly and asked in a loud voice: "Why are you laughing, fellow Taoist?"
Mr. Chu Wei leaned over and waved his hand, and waved away the two maids. He still laughed to himself for a while, and then he seemed to catch his breath. He ignored Taoist Zhang, pointed at Xu Zhuang and said: "So it's you! Those idiots didn't even Lie to me, it really is...well, extraordinary in appearance and extraordinary in bearing, haha! Hahahaha!"
"This...?" Taoist Zhang twirled his beard and looked at Xu Zhuang, revealing a hint of inquiry.
Xu Zhuang remained calm and said, "Oh? Fellow Daoist Chu knows me."
Master Chu Wei chuckled and said: "I know you, why don't you know me? I just saw your portrait not long ago. Didn't you just steal a beautiful lady from my hands? That's right, but I don't know it yet." What do you call your friend?"
Jade beauty? Zhang Daoren immediately thought of the maid in Xu Zhuang Mansion who never went out and had no expression, and his heart sank.
Xu Zhuang was not surprised, but did not respond. He only said: "Xu Zhuang, fellow Taoist, you can call me whatever you want."
Seeing him like this, Mr. Chu Wei didn't seem to be annoyed, and said: "It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Xu." Then he looked back and asked, "Master Zhang, I don't know whether it is you or Fellow Daoist Xu who is responsible for the concept of true form now." thing?"
Taoist Zhang glanced at Xu Zhuang, saw him slightly nodding, and responded: "Master Xu's meaning is the true form concept."
Young Master Chu Wei clapped his hands and laughed and said, "Okay, then I will talk to fellow Taoist Xu directly."
Xu Zhuang said calmly: "Oh? I haven't asked my fellow Taoist yet what's the important reason for coming here?"
"I heard that Zhenxing Temple actually has a dragon, so I came here to ask for it." Mr. Chu Wei leaned back on his chair and said generously: "Fellow Taoists also know that our Shenliu sect dominates the three states. , moving clouds and spreading rain is a tedious task, but this is really a coincidence."
Xu Zhuang didn't expect that he would say such words, and he looked like it was a matter of course. He didn't feel annoyed after hearing it. He just smiled dumbly and said: "I see, this dragon is a spiritual beast under my seat, but It cannot be given to your noble sect."
Mr. Chu Wei leaned back in his chair and said with an incomprehensible expression: "If you give the dragon to my Shinryu Sect, you will not lose the benefits of your True Form Observation. Fellow Taoist, please think clearly."
Xu Zhuang said calmly: "There is no need to discuss this matter again."
Mr. Chu Wei chuckled and said: "Well, it seems that we can't reach an agreement on this matter. I will have no choice but to report the matter truthfully after I return."
Xu Zhuangquan nodded indifferently. Seeing him sitting with his big horse and golden sword, he asked again: "Do you have any other advice, fellow Taoist?"
Mr. Chu Wei narrowed his eyes and said: "My Taoist friend is really tough in his attitude. Also, with his golden elixir cultivation and strong strength, a figure like Mr. Taoist is extremely confident, but this puts me in a very difficult position."
Xu Zhuang just smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip, but didn't respond.
Mr. Chu Wei didn't seem to care, and suddenly changed the subject and said, "Since it's not appropriate to talk about official matters, we might as well talk about private matters. I haven't even touched the beauty that my fellow Taoist snatched from my hands. How do you feel about it?" "
Xu Zhuang raised his eyebrows and said, "Fellow Daoist Chu, you might as well say what you have to say."
Young Master Chu Wei chuckled and said: "I just didn't expect fellow Taoists to also like beauties? This is really true... If you like beauties, just tell me. I admire your magical power. How can you care about a mere cheap maid? It’s fine if the young master offers it in person.”
When he said this, his voice dropped, and his face turned from sunny to gloomy in an instant. He gritted his teeth and said, "But if you take action without permission and take food from me, wouldn't you be dishonoring me?"
Xu Zhuang said calmly: "Oh, what should I do with my fellow Taoist?"
Mr. Chu Wei said: "What should I do? Well, since you asked, I will give you a step. I am not rare when you have used it, but I am not happy if you keep it. You will use that cheap maid If you kill me, I will pretend that nothing happened."
Xu Zhuang didn't show any anger, he just shook his head and said, "I don't think we need to talk about this anymore."
Young Master Chu Wei sneered: "Oh! So many fellow Taoists have rejected me twice."
Xu Zhuang smiled faintly and said Shi Shiran: "I still have important matters to discuss with the leader. If you have no other advice from fellow Taoist, please feel free to ask."
Mr. Chu Wei was startled, as if he did not expect that Xu Zhuang suddenly stopped talking and pretended to see off guests. His heart was extremely angry and his face could not help but tremble.
However, even though he was arrogant, he also knew that in the realm of True Form Observation, he could not control his attack. He immediately sneered, slapped the case with a bang, stood up, and walked out of the hall without saying a word. The two The maid hurriedly followed.
Unexpectedly, Young Master Chu Wei walked faster and faster, and when he arrived outside the palace, his eyes were already filled with red. Without waiting for the two maids, a yellow wind blew up with a whine, and rolled away from the True Form Observation.
The two maids hurriedly took out the magic weapons, set them up and followed them away without talking. In the director's hall, Taoist Zhang showed some worry in his eyes and sighed: "In this way, the Shenliu Sect will be completely offended."
Xu Zhuang asked: "Master Nephew, do you think I'm not handling it appropriately?"
Zhang Daoren hurriedly said: "Uncle Master has misunderstood. Chu Wei's request is too much, and he cannot agree to it. However, the Shenliu Sect is powerful after all, so my nephew thinks that it is okay to compromise."
Xu Zhuang shook his head and said: "Chu Wei is not good at all. He won't get what he wants. No matter how he deals with it, the outcome will be the same. Instead of being sad, it is better to deal with it well."
Zhang Daoren raised his hands in response, and then mused: "I don't know how the Shinryu Sect can act like a ghost."
Xu Zhuang smiled faintly, but said: "It's nothing more than using some unattractive means." He took out a talisman from his sleeve, handed it to Taoist Zhang, and told him: "Next time when Xianyun comes back to the door, my nephew will put this Give the talisman to the accompanying disciples. If an accident occurs, just activate the talisman and I will know."
But Chu Wei set up the yellow wind and escaped straight away from the True Form View. Not too far away, he saw a glazed treasure chariot parked in the clouds, pulled by two winged horses, and an expressionless man sat on the chariot. The burly man saw Chu Wei approaching, he straightened up quickly, cupped his hands and said, "Young Master."
Chu Wei landed on the car, waved his hand, and ordered: "Let's go back to Fenglan State." Then he got into the car.
When the big man saw two maids holding magic weapons, he flew towards the clouds in fear and asked: "Sir, two ladies..."
Chu Wei's cold voice came through the car tent, saying: "I want you to leave, do you understand?"
A trace of fear flashed in the big man's eyes, and he hurriedly said: "Yes." He sat down, raised his whip and waved it gently, shouting: "Fight!" The two winged horses immediately let out a cry, stepped on the clouds under their hooves, and ran away.
In the treasure car, the space is wider than it looks from the outside. There is a silk couch on the floor and a low table. Young Master Chu Wei has sat down on the couch, but there is another young man with a fair complexion beside the table. , with willow-leaf eyes, no need for eyebrows, and rouge on his face. Seeing Chu Wei's face sinking, he handed him a glass of sake and said with a smile: "Master, this trip is not going well?"
Chu Wei took the sake and drank it down in one gulp, his eyes were cold, and he gritted his teeth and spit out two words: "Xuzhuang."
"Xuzhuang?" The fair-skinned man thought for a while, but he didn't find the name from anywhere. His eyes moved and he asked, "Could he be the man who moved mountains?"
Chu Wei smiled coldly and responded: "It was also the person who took Yu Meiren'er away from me."
"Oh?" The fair-skinned man said with an incomprehensible expression, "It's actually this person. Has he offended the young master again?"
Chu Wei seemed to be very fond of this person. He glanced sideways and told him what happened in the True Form Observation.
The fair-skinned man said calmly: "It seems that Zhenxing Guan is indeed related to Long Xiangzong. Otherwise, how would you dare to look down on the young master?"
Hearing this, Xu Zhuang's indifferent attitude resurfaced in front of Chu Wei. His anger that had just subsided suddenly rose up, and he said bitterly: "So what if Long Xiangzong just supports the concept of true form and wants to fight with him?" Are you against me, the Kamin-ryu sect? Do you think I can’t handle it?”
The fair man said: "It seems that the young master has a plan."
Chu Wei sneered and said: "How can we keep the true form of the dragon without surrendering? I will capture the dragon directly. How can I get the true form?"
At this point, Chu Wei clapped his hands and laughed and said, "That's right! That's what it should be. After catching the dragon, and then leading Xu Zhuang out, and humiliating him severely, I can eliminate the hatred in my heart."
The fair-skinned man frowned and said, "That man seems to have cultivated a high-grade golden elixir, and he must have treasures with him. He can move mountains. I'm afraid he is not that easy to deal with."
Chu Wei said disdainfully: "Isn't a high-grade golden elixir still a golden elixir? One golden elixir monk may not be able to help him, but what about ten golden elixir monks?"
The man's expression changed slightly and he asked: "Sending ten Jindan monks is no small matter. If Long Xiangzong finds out, wouldn't it be a case? Do we need to discuss it with the sect?"
Chu Wei waved his hand and said: "Do you think that I am a fool? Are you looking for people directly from the sect?"
He pondered for a few breaths and said: "Those three old and four weirdos come to bother me every day. This time I will give them a chance to hand in their names."
The fair-skinned man praised: "Young master is wise."
These three elders and four monsters are all Jindan cultivators who occupy prefectures and counties outside Fenglan Prefecture. They have no intention of establishing a sect. The prefectures under their rule only accept some disciples to take care of them at will. They wholeheartedly seek refuge in the Shenliu Sect, which makes the awakening not only There is no risk, and if things don't work out, there is no need to give out any benefits.
"That's seven people. Young Master may have other candidates."
Chu Wei nodded, took out the banknotes from his sleeves, wrote a few words at random, and sneered: "What kind of thing is Moyun Sect? You want to show your kindness to me, don't you want to bleed? Later, take this letter and run to Moyun Sect. One trip will bring out at least three of them."
The fair-skinned man laughed heartily and praised, "Young Master is wise."
Listening to this person's praise, Chu Wei showed a proud look on his face. He was intoxicated for a moment, then suddenly thought of something, and said: "If it doesn't work, we have to send someone from the sect to coordinate, otherwise these people will work hard."
After thinking about it, his eyes lit up and he sneered: "That boy Song Yuming has repeatedly failed to give me face. Do you think that I can't do anything to him? So I asked him to do it. If it can happen, it will be great. If it goes wrong, error…"
Chu Wei's eyes sharpened and he asked, "Do you know how to deal with it?"
The fair-skinned man understood, and responded: "I understand, little one."
