Wolf Mountain, Shenyin Peak.
Zuo Shenyin went to the mountain gate in person to welcome Yu Zongxing.
The carriage rumbled forward, walking smoothly on the rugged mountain road without any bumps, and stopped steadily in front of Zuo Shen's invisibility.
With a smile on his face, Zuo Shenyin said to the carriage: "When you come to Langshan with great honor, my Shenyin Gate will shine brightly."
The car curtain opened, and a lazy greeting came from inside: "Master Zuo, you are so polite. Are you always doing well? Please get in the car and talk to me."
Zuo Shenyin boarded the carriage and got into the curtain. The carriage continued to move along the mountain road, leaving Taoist Mai, Master Wan Tao and other people in place.
The Ying brothers and the six friends of Ma Tou Po discussed in low voices and were about to disperse, but Taoist priest Mayi stopped them: "Stay here, wait for a long time, don't go anywhere! This is the fish practice of the academy!"
"My brother's Eagle Pavilion has not been open for a long time. It's hard to make a living..."
"I still have a painting that I only got half of, and I want to sell it to the Cai State. There are noble people in the Cai State who are eagerly waiting for it..."
"Today we have an appointment with three-star swordsmen from outside the mountain to fight. We are going to be late. If we are late, our names as the six brothers of Ma Tou Po will be ruined..."
Although they were dissatisfied, everyone had no choice but to return to where they were, each one complaining endlessly.
The carriage drove along the foothills of Shenyin Peak, with ringing bells. In the car, Yu Fengxing held up the car curtain to watch the scenery of Langshan Mountain, while Zuo Shenyin lowered his head and looked at the snake-shaped sword in his hand, silently.
After a long time, Yu Fengxing had enough of the scenery. He lowered the car curtain and said to Zuo Shenyin who was sitting opposite: "Don't explain to me. I don't want to hear it even if you explain it. I need an explanation, and Master Xin needs an explanation."
Zuo Shenyin lowered his gaze for a long time and asked: "What kind of explanation is required for the pursuit of the law?"
Yu Fenxing said: "The dignified head of the sect and the six elders, what do you think we should explain?"
Zuo Shenyin remained silent.
Yu Fengxing added: "I know you can't afford to explain it. If this matter really makes a fuss, Master Xin needs a step forward. I mean, your subordinate Mai has taken the responsibility for the matter."
Zuo Shenyin's eyelids twitched: "Ma Yi is the head of the Shenyin Sect's general affairs. Without him, the Shenyin Sect cannot move."
Yu Fengxing sneered: "Without anyone, the Shenyin Gate can be opened!"
Zuo Shenyin said: "I'll give you someone else... Mai can't do it, he has been loyal to me for many years..."
Yu Fengxing shook his head: "I also made it clear that he got the sword from Mai, and he can't get away! And only he can barely be regarded as a step. The rest of your sect doesn't have that qualification! Forget it, no matter what To make it easier for you, he may not die, but he must bear the burden. Jixia Academy will put him on the wanted list, and he will be arrested with a large number of documents and a reward of fifty gold. You pay for this money! Remember, I am really wanted. , you let him run further away."
The autumn weather was desolate outside the car, which also made it extremely cold inside. In this unspeakable solemnity, the carriage turned back to the mountain gate.
Yu Fengxing said: "No need for a banquet, I have to rush back to the academy to meet Master Xin... Remember, you must know what you can and cannot do!"
Zuo Shenyin got off the carriage and watched it drive away. He stood there for a moment and then turned back to the mountain: "Ma Yi, follow me."
The monks in Langshan dispersed with a bang.
In the cave, Taoist Mai Yi listened quietly to Zuo Shenyin's narration without saying a word. It wasn't until Zuo Shenyin finished speaking that he nodded numbly: "I understand."
Zuo Shenyin sighed softly and said: "Although I am going down the mountain, it is only temporary. If I have the chance, I will appeal to the academy and ask them to cancel the wanted order."
Taoist Mai nodded again: "I understand."
Zuo Shenyin said again: "How did the Youquan Dragon-Slaying Sword come into Yu Fengxing's hands? Yu Fengxing didn't say..."
The Taoist priest in Mai smiled and said: "No need to say more, it must be Wu Sheng's doing. That day he broke into my cave and looted everything. The sword was in his hand. Wu Sheng must have been captured by the academy, but he didn't know life or death. Using him as a lever, our Shenyin Sect will be coerced by Yu Zongxing from now on..."
Zuo Shenyin handed him a silk document and said, "This is the wanted document that Yu Fengxing just signed."
Taoist priest Mai took it and looked at it, frowning and said: "Wu Sheng is not dead? He was not caught either? How did this sword get into the hands of Yu Fengxing? Is it a deception?"
Then he shook his head again: "No way... I really got Wu Sheng, there is no reason to be listed on it, otherwise how can we coerce us? It's really strange..."
Zuo Shenyin nodded: "So...find him!"
Taoist Mai went down the mountain, bid farewell to Langshan where he had practiced for thirty years, and chose to leave in a dark night. The boat floated down the river, passing through the mountain shadows in the night. He stood on the bow and stared blankly for a long time.
At dawn, the boat had left Langshan and merged into Yingshui. Taoist Mai left the boat and landed on the shore, heading south. At least for a year or two, he needed to avoid the limelight of Jixia Academy wanting him, and at the same time look for Wu Lift.
After walking for about half a day, Taoist Mai happened to meet an acquaintance whom he had not seen for a long time.
"Taoist?"
"Wei Fushen!"
"Where are you going, Taoist?"
"Going south, I have something to do. What about you? Are you looking for Peach Blossom?"
"hehe……"
"If you are looking for Peach Blossom Girl, I advise you not to go."
"Why?"
"Peach Blossom is dead, don't you know?"
Wei Fuchen was stunned for a moment and murmured: "...I'm not looking for her..."
Taoist Mai smiled and asked, "Jixia Academy has issued a new wanted notice. Don't you know about the Pengcheng theft case?"
Wei Fuchen asked: "The case has been found out? Who is there?"
Taoist priest Mai told him: "Peach Blossom Girl, Hoe-in-law, Wu Sheng, Winter Bamboo Shoots."
Wei Fuchen frowned: "No Shimen?"
Taoist Mai shook his head: "It's not on the notice."
Wei Fu pondered and said, "It shouldn't be..."
Taoist Mai asked: "I heard that Taoist monks hid in Langshan to avoid Wu Sheng's pursuit?"
Wei Fuchen snorted coldly: "Am I afraid of him?"
Taoist Mai asked again: "Do you have any news about Wu Sheng, fellow Taoist?"
Wei Fuchen shook his head: "I don't know this."
Taoist Mai looked at Wei Fushen and asked, "Is Taoist friend injured? I have several healing elixirs here, all of which are extraordinary..."
Wei Fuchen immediately became alert, took a few steps back, cupped his hands and said, "It's a small injury. It's almost healed soon. I don't need to worry about it... It's getting late. Wei has to go on his way. Taoist, please do as you please."
Taoist Mai smiled and nodded: "See you later!"
…
Xiangcheng is a large city in the south of Chen State, close to the northern border of Chu State. It is said that it has tens of thousands of households and is very prosperous.
Master Dongsun didn't quite understand why he was going to Xiangcheng in the north: "Didn't the layman say he was going south? Why are you going to Xiangcheng?"
Wu Sheng said: "Do you still remember what Boss Shi said? When everyone was discussing going to the wilderness, Boss Shi once said that you should prepare some magic weapons, spiritual materials and elixirs, otherwise you will not be able to survive in the wilderness. Although Baiyue is not a wilderness, But we are very close to the wilderness. If we don’t stock up on these things, how will we live after we go there?”
