The floating clouds are floating in the sky, and the fog is covering the fairy mountain.
At this moment, Liyun didn't dare to make the slightest move. He carried Xu Zhuang on his back and flew along the Hongdao. Taoist Xuancheng didn't say a word and just followed.
The Hongdao Road leads from the sky to the Zhongshan Gate of Taixuan Continent. As the altitude drops, the detailed scenery of Taixuan Continent finally comes into view.
The green hills on both sides were like a screen, with a long bluestone staircase sandwiched in the middle. Xu Zhuang looked up and saw infinite light coming from a high place at the end of the stone steps. It turned out that the two green mountains were originally one body, but there was a hole here. The bottom was still the mountain, and the top was still. The hanging arch is like a gate bridge, and the whole is as mysterious as a door. On the gate bridge, two big characters are engraved:
Too mysterious!
Seeing Xu Zhuang's gaze, Taoist Xuancheng smiled slightly and said, "Honorable Sir, this is Tianmen Mountain, the gate of our Taixuan Zongzong."
He pointed toward the long bluestone steps and said, "Normally, visitors from outside the mountain must climb this path to the mountain gate in person before they can be treated as guests and pass the news on their behalf."
Naturally, guests like Xu Zhuang, who are greeted in accordance with the sect's etiquette, do not have to do this. However, Hongqiao does not fall straight down, but lowers to the level of Tianmen, and then extends to Taixuan Mountain Gate.
Passing through the Taixuan Tianmen, it feels like jumping through a curtain of light and arriving at the mountain gate. Although there are pavilions and terraces dotted with majestic mountains, hanging palaces and floating islands flying back and forth, a fairy monastery and a blessed land, the scenery is nothing like it. Something special.
After all, for monks, all wonders are just seasoning.
After entering here, as a courtesy, Xu Zhuang got down from Liyun, ordered it to turn into a small snake and put it away, and escaped in person, leading to the palace under the guidance of Taoist Xuancheng.
Before entering the palace door, I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps inside. A man with his hair tied in a Tai Chi bun, ceremonial robes, and feathers walked out. He smiled and cupped his hands, "Fellow Taoist, we haven't seen you for a long time."
The person who came was naturally Jiang Han. Seeing his appearance, Xu Zhuang couldn't help but feel a move in his heart.
Jiang Han's cultivation was so high that it was somewhat beyond his expectation, but when he thought about it, if there was nothing extraordinary, how could he become the first true disciple of Taixuan Sect since its founding.
Xu Zhuang didn't dare to be negligent, he raised his hand and said in return, "I've seen Brother Dao."
Jiang Han smiled and nodded, pulled his sleeves inward and said, "Please."
Xu Zhuang followed Jiang Han into the palace and took a seat. The Immortal Princess Taoist had already made preparations in the palace. When the guest of honor entered and took his seat, he immediately served tea. After Xu Zhuang tasted it, Jiang Han spoke:
"After I said goodbye to the former Yue Xing Taoist temple, even though I stayed at the gate, I could always hear that fellow Taoists were stirring up trouble, so I couldn't help but go there."
"I didn't expect that when we meet again, we will still be in my Taixuan Sect. I don't know why my friend came to visit me."
Jiang Han and Xu Zhuang were actually just acquaintances. Although it is often very simple for monks to form a friendship, there really wasn't much communication between the two. To say that Xu Zhuang came to visit just to talk about mysteries and Taoism, Jiang Han certainly Don't believe it.
Xu Zhuang pondered for a moment, and without mincing words, he said bluntly: "Xu came to visit this time, partly to see the scenery of Xisu after its reconstruction, and partly because of the bad guys in my sect."
"Oh? Fellow Taoist disciple has a high rank." Jiang Han thought for a while, couldn't help but smile, and said: "Ten years ago, when my mentor opened the teachings, I had already met Li Xiaoyou... He and his junior sister, it's not that they have already met each other. Does the teacher acquiesce?"
Xu Zhuang didn't expect to get the news from Jiang Han that the marriage between Li Changfeng and You Jin'er was tacitly approved by True Lord Taixuan. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and thought for a moment before saying: "But my evil disciple has been with Guizong since ten years ago." , so far there has been no news and his whereabouts are unknown.”
"After all, Xu is a teacher, so he can't help but worry, so he has this career."
"No news?" Jiang Han was a little surprised. He was the chief disciple of Taixuan Sect and had a transcendent status. However, he was devoted to cultivation and did not pay much attention to the affairs of the sect. He pondered for a moment and said: " Fellow Taoist, please wait."
Xu Zhuang nodded slightly, and Jiang Han called Elder Xuancheng over and asked, "Elder, do you know whether Junior Sister You and her husband are still in the house?"
Elder Xuancheng thought for a moment and responded: "As I remembered correctly, he should still be in the door and has not traveled in the past ten years."
"Oh?" Jiang Han frowned slightly. Since the two of them were still in the door, could there be any accidents?
Seeing Xu Zhuang's eyes falling, Jiang Han muttered, "Fellow Taoist, please wait a moment." Then he said to Elder Xuancheng, "Elder, please go and find out what Junior Sister You and Sister You are doing now. If you have some free time, Then invite them to come here.”
Elder Xuancheng responded with his hands, but he was not seen coming out of the hall, but his eyes were slightly closed, and his expression seemed to be withdrawn, and he was still.
Jiang Han took the tea cup and gestured to Xu Zhuang, saying: "Don't worry, fellow Taoist, since there will be no accidents in our Taixuan Sect. There may be some other reason for this, and we will know it when we see you later."
Xu Zhuang nodded slightly. The two of them were not familiar with each other, and this was not a place for discussing Taoism. They only had occasional conversations and drank tea quietly for a long time. After two full moments like this, Elder Xuancheng suddenly came to life and opened his eyes.
Jiang Han looked at him with an inquiring look, but Taoist Xuancheng showed a slight embarrassment on his face. He apologized to Xu Zhuang, moved his lips and teeth slightly, and started communicating with Jiang Han.
Xu Zhuang was not in a hurry, and waited quietly while drinking tea. Jiang Han listened carefully to Master Xuancheng's words, frowned slightly, and actually said: "Master Quan did a bad job in this matter."
Jiang Han dared to criticize the real person. Hearing this, Xu Zhuang finally raised his eyebrows. Taoist Xuancheng even had a look of resentment on his face and did not dare to reply.
Jiang Han didn't say anything more to him. After thinking for a moment, he said to Xu Zhuang, "I don't want to hide it from fellow Taoists. Li Changfeng did have some accidents in this sect."
Xu Zhuang knew that he had something more to say and acted like he was all ears. Jiang Han then continued: "In my Taixuan Sect, there is a Quan Zhenren who has been following his mentor for a long time. He has always loved and cared for the younger generation, especially Junior Sister You, who is a direct disciple of his mentor. , the youngest one, and is much favored by Master Quan."
"When Master Quan heard that Junior Sister You had found a husband, he felt like testing him and summoned the two of them to his residence. They stayed there for ten years."
"Is this happening?" Xu Zhuang frowned slightly. Before he could think about it, Jiang Han said, "In any case, the matter involves disciples of your sect and fellow Taoist disciples. Master Quan's actions are inappropriate."
"I will go to Quan Zhenren's residence later to ask for details. Fellow Taoist, you can first stay temporarily at the Yi Palace arranged by Elder Xuancheng. I will give you an answer tomorrow."
"Good." Xu Zhuang said, "This saves my Taoist friends from trouble."
"Fellow Taoist is out." Jiang Han said, "Besides that, there is another matter."
Xu Zhuang said: "Brother Dao, please speak frankly."
Jiang Han said leisurely: "At the same time that my Taoist friends arrived, my master also issued a decree to summon my Taoist friends."
"What?" Xu Zhuang was surprised. Jiang Han had already stood up and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, please be prepared to meet your teacher tomorrow morning."
