There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 260
  Inside and outside the Daozang Hall of Jinhuai Mansion.

There is an endless stream of monks coming and going, and most of them are inbound monks, including two Third Realm monks. Moreover, they did not go to their own independent rooms today, but all gathered in the front hall.

The front hall has some simple decorations. It looks like a tea party venue. The various service counters have gone somewhere. There are portraits of two saints hanging on the wall in front, and the incense table below is filled with offerings. Taste.

There are two Taishi chairs in front of the incense table, and then there are ten Taishi chairs on both sides. Behind these Taishi chairs are long benches. The monks who entered the country secretly competed in accordance with established traditions to allocate the seats of the ten Taishi chairs on each side. At the moment, the front People were already sitting on the two Taishi chairs.

One of these two people is Gan Xing, the leader of the Fuming Mansion Loose Cultivator Alliance, a Three Realm weapon cultivator who has been famous for two hundred years, and the other is a person in charge of the Nanlin Road Cave Gate branch, named Wu Quan of the Three Realms monk.

Although there were many people at the scene who were not convinced that the two of them were sitting in the front row, especially the Catacomb Gate who was doing their own thing, no one dared to challenge them in this public place.

There were people gathering behind the two of them, and there were more people beside other seats, secretly competing for the remaining seats.

Doorway.

Ah Jiu, who was dressed in a gray outfit, felt an unreal feeling when looking at the grand scene in front of him. This made him look up from time to time to look at the plaque hanging in front of him to confirm whether he was in the wrong place.

He entered the realm through weapon cultivation and took the internal quota of Daozang Hall. However, not long after he was promoted, Daozang Hall in Mozhou Road experienced great changes, which caused his status to plummet. Now he can only do some dirty work.

When the news of Wang Ping's promotion to the third level reached Mozhou Road, he thought that the era of great war was coming, and Wang Ping's promotion to the third level would definitely need people, so he came to Nanlin Road with the attitude of giving it a try. , but did not expect to receive the news that Wang Ping was about to take over as the pacifier of Daozang Hall on Nanlin Road.

Looking at these people at the scene and comparing themselves to each other, Ah Jiu suddenly lost confidence.

When he was feeling depressed, a very ordinary Qi practitioner came to him and asked, "But Taoist He Jiu?"

"It's the villain." Ah Jiu cupped his fists and saluted.

"Don't dare to take it seriously..." The Qi practitioner quickly returned the greeting, but he knew that the person in front of him was an incoming weapon cultivator.

"I don't know why you called me?"

"Taoist Master, please follow me." The Qi Practitioner made an invitation gesture.

"It's work!"

Ah Jiu suppressed the joy on her face and cupped her hands.

After the two left, a monk in the foundation-building stage next to him said, "The qi practitioner just now seems to be the steward of the back courtyard."

"should be!"

"Then the person he came to invite, wouldn't it be..."

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the door, which attracted the attention of other incoming monks in the room. Soon the news reached the ears of the two people at the front, and they all just smiled faintly.

When Ah Jiu stepped into the backyard, he felt the sound of discussion at the door, and a look of pride appeared on his face unconsciously. He had not felt this way for a long time.

Different from the hustle and bustle in the hall, the atrium and the backyard were extremely quiet at the moment. There were also guard monks in light yellow robes coming and going. They were arranged in every corner of the atrium and the backyard. When Ah Jiu came in, there were immediately several pairs of eyes. Look over and look at him inside and out.

The small courtyard at the front of the backyard was full of people. The people who could be here at the moment were all close to Wang Ping and Zi Luan.

When Ah Jiu was introduced into the small courtyard, he immediately suppressed the pride in his heart.

"Friend He Daoist."

A voice came from the side, causing the Qi practitioner and Ah Jiu who were leading the way to stop. Ah Jiu looked up and saw a Kun Xiu wearing a blue Taoist robe. She made an invitation: "Fellow Taoist, this is the first step. Take a rest for a while, the master is receiving the envoys from the imperial court."

This person is Liu Shuang.

"Yes, thank you, fellow Taoist." He Jiu bowed quickly and followed Liu Shuang to the side room. At this moment, several monks had been waiting here for a long time.

About a quarter of an hour later.

Liu Shuang appeared at the door. She looked at He Jiu and said, "Fellow Daoist He, come with me."

"Fellow Daoist."

...

Right in the house.

Wang Ping sat on the left hand side of the Eight Immortals table today, while Zi Luan sat politely on the right side.

"Ten years ago, Mozhou Road re-elected the pacifier. After several rounds of voting, it was finally taken back by the Zhenyang Sect. This shows that there are quite a lot of complaints within the Daozang Palace against our Lord."

Of course it was Zi Luan who said this.

Wang Ping couldn't answer the question, he just smiled and said nothing. Yu Lian leaned on his shoulder, rolled up the tea cup and sipped the tea beautifully.

At this time, Liu Shuang walked to the door, cupped his fists and said, "Master, senior..."

He Jiuze made a respectful fist-cup salute, lowered his head and said respectfully: "I have met Taoist Master Ziluan and Taoist Changqing."

Wang Ping looked He Jiu Shao up and down and said with a smile: "You and I, as cultivators, don't have to stick to vulgar etiquette..." He was polite at first, and then said as if talking to an old friend: "You have changed a lot. You are not as good as before. spirit."

He Jiu continued to cup his hands and said, "Replying to what the Taoist Master said, I'm still very energetic, but I just don't dare to be presumptuous in front of you."

"Haha!" Wang Ping laughed and ordered Liu Shuang at the door: "Watch the tea!"

"Thank you, Taoist Priest!" "Sit down!"

He Jiu was very discerning and sat on the last chair on the right.

After he sat down, Ziluan said directly: "From the introduction of fellow Taoist Changqing, you were practicing with Xuanhe?"

He Jiu wanted to get up, but Wang Ping motioned for him to sit down and answer, so he sat down and clasped his fists and said, "I'm sorry, Taoist Changqing, I'm thinking about you. I'd like to thank Taoist Ziluan for saying that I was a poor man. He entered the Daozang Hall to do odd jobs at the age of ten. When he was [-] years old, he was spotted by Taoist priest Xuanhe because of his diligent practice, and he was included as a replacement member of the supervisory team."

"Later, Taoist Xuanhe violated the laws and regulations of Daozang Hall and was expelled. I never saw him again. However, I know that he has a secret contact point on Mozhou Road that he continues to use. In the past ten years, The relationship between this contact point has developed to more than half of Mozhou Road.”

"This is a strange thing!"

Zi Luan was thoughtful and took the opportunity to explain some of the previous events to Wang Ping, "I underestimated Xuan He. He was originally my nail on Mozhou Road. I have to find out when exactly it happened. I selected a group of people, among whom Xuanhe impressed me the most..."

As the topic reached this point, a Qi practitioner came in with a cup of tea.

Zi Luan waited for the Qi Practitioner to put down the tea and leave before continuing: "He had just entered the country at that time, but his case-solving ability and administrative management were very strong. I got the news that the Zhenyang Sect had already planned to contact him, and he was also a member of the underground cave sect. He was the target of key training, so I secretly approached him."

"Is the old man so powerful? It's the True Yang Sect and the Catacomb Sect."

Yu Lian's face was full of doubts, "He gave me a very mediocre feeling. His consciousness and emotions were in an extreme state of balance, similar to those wastes in retreat."

Zi Luan responded with a smile: "So the ancients often said that when observing a person, don't look at what he says or what he looks like, but look at what he does."

Yu Lian nodded thoughtfully, "You said so, he is indeed very powerful."

Zi Luan looked at Wang Ping and continued the previous topic, "The case investigated by Taoist Fellow Daoist was also part of my plan. However, the fake spirit summoned on the first day was not my instruction. I was just following the trend in order to drive away Wen Wen. Yang, so that we can further control Mozhou Road, which is what the Lord Fu wants."

"I have always known that Xuan He also had entanglements with the Zhenyang Sect, but I didn't expect that he would actually hook up with the Taiyin Sect and the first day. Now that I think about it, the first day may have followed Xuanhe's line."

As he spoke, he looked at He Jiu and said thoughtfully: "This person is very dangerous. If he can't be used by us, don't give him a chance to get up. If he is an enemy, then we must eradicate him as soon as possible. No Eradication of future troubles.”

"The villain is willing to inquire about the situation of the two Taoist priests." Ah Jiu immediately expressed his position.

Zi Luan did not express his position. He turned his attention to Wang Ping again. Wang Ping stared at He Jiu and asked, "You said you have never contacted Xuan He again?"

He Jiu quickly stood up and replied: "Yes!"

"He didn't contact you either?"

"no!"

"To be cautious, does he know that you found his contact point on Mozhou Road?"

"no!"

"So sure?"

"The villain never shows himself."

"You have learned from his caution."

Wang Ping pointed to the tea cup on the coffee table next to He Jiu and said, "Have some tea."

"Yes, thank you, Daoist!"

He Jiu didn't hesitate, sat down decisively, picked up the tea cup and drank tea.

Wang Ping watched him take a sip of tea and asked, "Why did you come to me this time?"

He Jiu stood up again and walked to the center of the room, saluted and said, "I want to come to the Taoist Master to ask for something to do."

"Why don't we ask him to investigate the contact point run by Xuanhe on Mozhou Road and see who is behind it?" Zi Luan's words were a question, not a decision.

"It's okay!"

"And it can also make Ren Kong sick."

Zi Luan showed his unique wicked smile. The 'Ren Kong' he mentioned was the pacifier sent by the Zhenyang Sect to Mozhou Road, who was elected through the third seat of the Daozang Hall.

Wang Ping was wondering why Mr. Xiao Shanfu would let this matter go. According to the information from Taoist Wenyang, the Zhenyang Sect had no idea about Mozhou Road after he left Mozhou Road.

"Shuang'er..."

Wang Ping called Liu Shuang in and told her about He Jiu.

Before He Jiu could leave, a bold and familiar voice came from outside, "Haha, fellow Taoist Changqing, long time no see, you really opened my eyes!"

It's Taishan's voice.

Zi Luan was slightly surprised when he heard Taishan's voice. Wang Ping was even more surprised than him. When the two were surprised, Taishan had already appeared at the gate. When he saw Zi Luan, he said nonchalantly: "Senior Brother Zi Luan, too. Here, you see, it’s too much to stick around even though you’ve already resigned.”

"You still have such an unforgiving mouth." Zi Luan was not angry.
