Longhu Mountain.
Qingliang Mountain, which is located in the north of Lanzhou in Western Chu, is definitely ranked among the top thirteen martial arts schools, second only to the older generation sects such as Tianyan, Tangmen and Lingnan Shangguanbao. Zhang Zhisu, the generation leader of Longhu Mountain, is the only one in the past hundred years who has been called a true Taoist. His Taoism is so profound that even the four great heavenly masters of the Tianshi Mansion in Tiandu City cannot compare with it. For example, the current leader Zhao Huaizhen is a prodigy in Taoism and swordsmanship. He is also one of the seven great swordsman immortals today.
However, even though Beili's demise had a great impact on Longhu Mountain's reputation, it can still be said to be the best Taoist religion in the world.
At this moment, in a courtyard in Longhu Mountain, a middle-aged man holding a broom was sweeping the fallen leaves in the courtyard bit by bit. The man had a gentle face, wore a blue Taoist robe, and exuded a Taoist spirit. Righteous.
At this time, a young man also wearing a blue robe opened the door and walked in. The young man bowed respectfully to the middle-aged man sweeping the floor, "Master."
The person who came was none other than Li Biejie, who had returned from rescuing Xiao Chunqiu and the others under the orders of his master last night, and the master he was talking about naturally referred to the current head of Longhu Mountain, Dao Sword Immortal Zhao Huaizhen. It's just a Dao Sword Immortal who is almost famous all over the world, and now he is sweeping the floor here? It's true that it doesn't quite fit his identity. But when disciple Li Bie saw him, he didn't say anything as if he was used to it.
Zhao Huaizhen did not raise his head to look at him, but just nodded and said lightly: "Yes! You are back. How is Mr. Xiao doing?"
Li Bieji hurriedly replied, "We've been rescued. I think we're safe now."
Zhao Huaizhen nodded again, "That's good!"
Li Bieli thought for a while and scratched his head in confusion, "It's just that this disciple doesn't understand. Master, don't you like to get involved in the affairs of the world? Why do you insist on ordering me to save the young master named Xiao this time?"
But Zhao Huaizhen did not answer. He just swept the fallen leaves on the ground into a pile slowly, then threw the broom in his hand at Li Biejie and said, "Collect the fallen leaves on the ground!"
"Master! It's me again?" Li Biejie took the broom and exclaimed.
Zhao Huaizhen raised his hand and hit him on the back of the head, saying: "If it's not you, it could be me, Master! Come on, don't wait around, come in after you're done."
With that said, Zhao Huaizhen turned around and walked towards a small room on the side, regardless of whether his apprentice agreed or not. Although Li Biejie had reluctance written on his face, he still carried them out of the yard basket by basket with quick movements, and in an instant he had cleaned up the pile of fallen leaves.
Li Bieji put down the basket, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and walked towards the hut. But as soon as he entered, there was a scent of fragrance coming towards him. Li Bieji took a closer look and saw that the master had already prepared breakfast. .
Although the food was not very rich, there were a lot of vegetarian and meat dishes. Li Biejie, who had long been accustomed to eating the dishes cooked by his master, was not picky. He sat down, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
Just as he was eating, he did not forget the question in his mind, "By the way, Master, do you still want to tell me the reason?"
Zhao Huaizhen still didn't answer. He picked up some shredded potatoes and put it into his Wanzhong, and then asked, "Apprentice! Do you know who Mr. Xiao is?"
"Of course I know." Li Bieli's mouth was bulging, and the food was delicious, "Didn't you tell me that Young Master Xiao is the son of the former Beili General Xiao Ruoding, and is now the young master of the Demon Sect. "
Zhao Huaizhen asked again, "Whose world is it now?"
Li Bieji reluctantly swallowed the food in his mouth, "The world of Xichu!"
Zhao Huaizhen asked again, "Then how did the Emperor of Western Chu treat our former Beili people?"
Li Bieji put down his bowl and chopsticks and thought for a moment, then said: "Ignore it, don't care, don't treat it. Nowadays, all the people with the status of former Beili are inherently inferior to the people of Western Chu, and they will not have a good life everywhere. If they are behind the scenes, Without the support of sects like ours, the people may have been in dire straits long ago.”
Zhao Huaizhen stood up and asked one last question, "Now you understand why master wanted to save Mr. Xiao."
"This... I don't understand..." Li Biejie was a little outrageous. He really didn't understand the reason. He just felt that the master didn't say anything just now, but he seemed to have said everything. It was really I can't guess what Master is thinking.
Zhao Huaizhen patted Li Biejie on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Good apprentice, if you don't understand, don't think about it. Remember to clean it up."
"Yeah!" Li Bieji nodded subconsciously, but he reacted instantly and stood up suddenly, "Me again?"
But Zhao Huaizhen had already walked outside and just waved his hand to him, "Master, I don't have a bite!"
Li Bieli hurriedly turned his head and looked around. He really hadn't eaten a bite!
...
Twelve holes in Kunming.
Five caves.
The Sixth Prince of Western Chu, King Bai Mihe, was sitting at the top of the table, tapping the table. On either side of him was Yang Bai, the master of the cave, and his bookboy Fang Shi, but his eyes were not at all the same. He didn't focus on these two people, but looked down at Jiang Xinshui, who was kneeling on one knee and bowing his head.
Jiang Xinshui had just come back. At this moment, he was in an extremely embarrassed state, with a sign hanging on his left shoulder. "Your Highness, Prince Bai, I still...failed to complete the task assigned by you, and the loss this time..."
"Okay!" Bai Wang Mihe interrupted him and slowly stood up, "There is no need to tell this king about the losses. After all, those who are sent are all members of your Jiang family. I will compensate you in the future."
"Yes!" Jiang Xinshui could only grit his teeth and look into his stomach to swallow.
Bai Wang Mihe walked to Jiang Xinshui's side and asked, "Tell me, what about Xiao Jin... No, where is Xiao Chunqiu now?"
"I... don't know at all. Last night, when I was on the way to pursue you on your Highness's order, several forces suddenly appeared. With their obstruction, we were..."
"Hmph!" Baima Mihe snorted coldly, "It seems that most of the forces in this world are helping him. I have underestimated his ability. It will be difficult to find him now. Jiang Xinshui, you can go back. Once you recover, you don’t need to take care of things here anymore.”
"Yes, Your Highness Prince Bai." Jiang Xinshui bowed respectfully, then stood up and left.
At this time, the old man Yangbai from behind walked up and asked, "What does His Highness King Bai plan to do now?"
Bai Wang Mihe did not answer, but asked lightly: "Cave Master, can your twelve caves still help me find him?"
"His Royal Highness Bai Wang!" Old Yangbai smiled, "These twelve holes have not fully supported you yet. If you want me to help you find that boy again, I still have to see the ability of His Highness Bai Wang. However, , Your Highness can ask that person to take action."
Mi He pondered for a moment, and then said, "Forget it, don't alarm my adoptive father. I want to capture Xiao Chunqiu back, but it's just for fun, but now it seems that he will be more interesting in the future." , I am willing to have a fair fight with him."
"Oh?" The old man Yangbai said suspiciously, "These words are really generous."
Mi He smiled thoughtfully, "Master Yang Cave, please take me to see the great cave master of the Twelve Cave in Kunming and several other cave masters."
