Following Xuan Chong to the main hall of Dezongmen, Zhao Changhe was a little disappointed by the statue enshrined in the hall. It was not a statue of Zhenwu, but a statue of Sanqing.
Maybe solving the case is not the destiny brought by the jade card. If I have nothing to do, I will put it aside to solve the case. Who can I blame?
Telling the truth and solving the mystery of this world is also solving a crime.
In front of the Sanqing statue, an old Taoist man with white beard and hair sits cross-legged, looking at the immortal Taoist bones.
Looking at his posture of sitting cross-legged, Zhao Changhe suddenly remembered that he had been subconsciously practicing by sitting cross-legged for a long time. In the past, both Chi Chi and Yue Hongling said that this was a Xuanmen practice posture, and that not all exercises required sitting cross-legged. However, since they meditated and practiced, they subconsciously chose this sitting method, which seemed to make sense.
The old Taoist had his eyes closed at first, but when the two of them stepped into the palace, he opened his eyes and smiled slightly: "You're back?"
He nodded to Zhao Changhe: "The young hero has evil skills, and everyone calls him a demon bandit. It can be seen that the evil comes from the outside and the hero acts from within. Xuan Chong has made friends, and it can be said that he has gained a lot from traveling south." Please take a seat."
The tall hat was comfortable to wear, and Zhao Changhe was too lazy to think about whether he was Xuanwu for the time being, let alone say that he didn't have much friendship with Xuan Chong. Then he also performed a junior salute and sat cross-legged on one side of the futon. Soon a young Taoist priest offered tea, bowed and left.
To be honest, although the hospitality was simple, it was more polite than the Cui family and the Tang family. In addition, the sect's atmosphere was harmonious, and Zhao Changhe had a good impression.
Xuan Chong said: "My disciple is stupid. During his trip to Yangzhou, he did nothing except assisting the locals in capturing the heretics of the Maitreya Cult. Even the solution to the Maitreya Cult conspiracy was caused by Brother Wan. Brother Zhao, Brother Tang and Brother Yue The heroine charged into the temple, but the disciples were completely unaware of the battle and did not participate in it at all."
"It doesn't matter... People like Zhao Shaoxia are full of passion and evil spirits, so they need to be calm. You can see that it is natural for him to sit cross-legged now. And people like you, who grew up in the mountains, have a calm mind and do nothing, so they don't get involved in anything, as long as they experience more things , knowing the mortal world. After experiencing it, you will think more about it when encountering problems in the future. The person who will make the difference next time will be you. This is your worldly practice."
Xuan Chong saluted: "Disciple, I will teach you."
"So you should go to the royal family's banquet. Not only should you go, but if the prince of the royal family tests your sword, you should do your best to fight and win. Don't be perfunctory."
"...Yes." Xuan Chong responded, but still couldn't help but ask: "Does Master also think he is trying to test the sword?"
"What we are trying is the people of the world." Guichen smiled slightly: "Let's see how many people are willing to bow down to the Wang family, see what the Cui family thinks about this, see what other forces behind Qianlong think about this, and see us. Is it easy to bully Taiyi Sect? Wait. If something cannot be done, it is just a sword test for a young master who has been arrogant and domineering since the invitation. It is not a big deal if he gets scolded a few times. "
Xuan Chong was stunned for a moment, and his heart skipped a beat: "Do they want to be independent?"
"It's unknown. After all, the prince is dead..." Guichen nodded leisurely and said no more.
Xuan Chong's expression was not good-looking. If the Wang family wanted to stand on its own, Taiyi Sect, which was just around the corner, would be the first to show their will. They would either surrender or move away and run away.
And what Master said is to fight with all your strength and win... then you don't intend to surrender.
Xuan Chong asked carefully: "Master ordered that unknown persons not to enter the mountain. Does this have anything to do with it?"
"It has something to do with the Wang family's move, but it's not the Wang family we're guarding against." Guichen smiled: "I believe there are many people who can see the Wang family's intentions in doing this. Do you think there will be people who maliciously add fuel to the fire? For example If something happens to our Taiyi Sect suddenly, what will others think?"
Xuan Chong's gentle temper couldn't help but curse: "What the hell..."
Zhao Changhe also secretly thought that this was indeed possible, he was really lying.
Fortunately, Guichen is a strong man ranked twenty-nine on the Earth Ranking. Even though he is not ranked high, there are only about thirty people in the world who can defeat him. Most people would not dare to act rashly even if they have malicious intentions. An ordinary sect should really run away at this time.
Therefore, in troubled times, it is the last word to be strong with your own fists, and others will not reason with you.
Xuan Chong said: "But Master, what's the use of asking the gatekeeper to check your identity? It's better to just close the door and thank the guests."
"There is no difference. If a strong man wants to sneak in, no one can prevent him. When such a strong man goes out, what he wants is his teacher's head." Guichen seemed to be saying something that had nothing to do with him, he was very calm. : "The so-called identity check is just a message to the outside world. It means that the old Taoist has been prepared. If you want to make trouble, you can think about it yourself. And since I am prepared, I have probably communicated with the court and the Wang family. Whether I die or not is no longer a problem. What’s the result? Do we still have to do it by force?”
Xuan Chong was dumbfounded: "Why do I feel that I have practiced a false Taoism since childhood? Is this something we Taoist priests consider?"
Guichen smiled, with a hint of regret in his smile: "Idiot, how can there be peace in this troubled world?"
Xuan Chong couldn't help but mutter: "Then... why don't you just leave?"
"Because we are not only monks, but also warriors. We avoid trouble when encountering it. No matter how hard it is to advance with this sword, I can stop advancing, but you can't. From now on, your word 'charge' will be charged to me." When it’s time to step onto the list of people, we’ll return to our Taoist charge.”
Xuanchong was silent for a long time and kowtowed deeply: "Disciple, please be taught."
Zhao Changhe sat aside and watched the master-disciple conversation, saying nothing from beginning to end.
It seems that there is no need to solve the case, that's not the case.
The veteran knows better than anyone else, who is needed to solve the case? Many of his words also deeply touched Zhao Changhe.
Sure enough, I need to travel all over the world and meet many heroes. This trip is not in vain.
He is definitely not Xuanwu. The Four Symbols Sect will only think that the world is not chaotic enough.
So...among the people who might come to cause trouble maliciously, are there the Four Symbols Cult?
For some reason, under this tense atmosphere, Zhao Changhe inexplicably smelled a hint of Shura Field...
Maybe this is the bloodthirsty Shura.
…………
In the dead of night, the moon shines on the pine hills.
Two slender figures stood under the moon, quietly looking at the looming Taiyi Sect building in the distance.
"Ginger is still too old. I am ready to return to the dust. This is no longer feasible." The firebird mask showed a strange red color under the moonlight, like a faintly burning demon fire.
The red lips were slightly opened in the demonic fire, and she was speaking cold words, but it made people feel lazy and charming.
Standing next to her was a woman in a white tiger mask. Her tiger face was ferocious, but her round shape made her look a little cute, which diluted her murderous intent.
One of the two figures is charming and the other is exquisite. The spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums have their own charms, but it is a pity that neither of them can get a glimpse of their true appearance.
The beautiful eyes under the white tiger mask glanced at Suzaku. Xia Chichi always felt that Lord Suzaku must be a very beautiful big sister, but it was a pity that with her current status, she could not get a glimpse of her true face.
In fact, Venerable Suzaku is not always in the teaching. He is also a kind of divine dragon who sees the beginning but never the end. He occasionally appears to lead important things, such as this time. I don't know what her daily identity is. I've thought about all the anecdotes in the world but there's no corresponding similar character. It's really strange.
Xia Chichi always felt like she was being cheated, because even if she wore a mask, the whole world would probably know that this white tiger was her. Xia Chichi would probably play a lurking role in the future and have nothing to do with her. It was very much like being dragged by Suzaku. It is specially used to manage academic affairs... Thinking of Suzaku's original joy, is there still this layer hidden...
But no matter what, although Suzaku and she were not masters and disciples, they definitely had a true master-student relationship, and she still respected Suzaku very much.
Hearing Zhuque's intention to give up, Xia Chichi heaved a sigh of relief: "Actually, I thought it was inappropriate to do this. The method was too rough and the consequences were unknown. It was a waste of effort. We are not driven so crazy. The extent...not to mention that the Hu people like to do this kind of thing more, and if the Hu people like to do it, we shouldn’t do it.”
"In the eyes of the gods, there is no difference between Hu and Han. You have to change your concept." Zhuque criticized, but he did not take it seriously. In fact, he essentially agreed with Xia Chichi's opinion: "But the Hu people believe in the shaman Immortality, which is not the same as us." . If they really enter the Central Plains, they will attack us as a demon sect. From this point of view, we and the barbarians are indeed enemies. The Maitreya sect is really blinded by lard, and I can’t even understand it."
Xia Chichi smiled and breathed another sigh of relief.
It is said that Zhao Changhe entered the Taiyi Sect during the day, so it is better not to fight.
But I heard Suzaku say: "But Miss Cui is coming to Langya at this time, right? It's quite appropriate for you to do this."
"Eh?" Xia Chichi's eyes widened.
