The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Chapter 295 Grandfather destroys the Zi Mansion (please subscribe!)

"Brother Xu, we have only been away for half a month. Why does it seem that the situation in Fangshi is so different? I wonder if you feel this way?"

The group of people had just gotten off the flying boat. Liang Kai observed the surrounding situation for a while and noticed something unusual. He immediately turned to Xu Zhiyu who was walking beside him and said softly.

To say that he was able to come back alive this time was really thanks to Xu Zhiyu's repeated efforts to save his life. With his flattery, the relationship between the two parties also became much closer.

"It does look a little strange. There are many monks lining up to enter the city, but there are almost no people leaving the city. I guess something happened while we were out on the mission!" He replied.

"Do you think there will be any big move by the Demon Cult next? The branch alliance has gathered manpower to prepare for it. Is it possible that the Demon Cult is planning to attack our base camp?"

Liang Kai continued to ask nonchalantly. After narrowly surviving, he was extremely sensitive. Whenever there was a slight disturbance, he would be ready to fight. This war with no end in sight had left him mentally shattered.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to comfort him, he heard Zhuang Wuyou reprimanding somewhat angrily:
  "Don't make random guesses. We will find out after we enter the city to hand in the mission!"

Seeing this, Xu Zhiyu could only silently pat Liang Kai on the shoulder, telling him not to worry too much. As for what made Zhuang Wuyou angry, he could guess a thing or two.

Think about it, they set out to perform the mission with eight foundation builders, and now only three of them are back, the same three who were sent out. The others died on the way home. If Xie and Zhong's team really encountered them The Zifu demon cultivator said that if the whole army was wiped out, it meant that their rescue operation ended in complete failure. It was strange that Zhuang Wuyou was in a good mood.

He also felt that this mission was too nonsense. He sacrificed the lives of five foundation-building monks to save fifty imprisoned Qi-training monks. It was a big loss no matter how he calculated it. He also felt a little dissatisfied with the decision of the headquarters, but Fortunately, I returned safely, so my resentment is not so deep.

While he was thinking, he heard the sound of an argument in front of him, interrupting his thoughts. He looked up and saw that it was Zhuang Wuyou arguing with the monk guarding the city gate. Seeing this, he immediately stepped forward, Only then did I understand the whole story.

It turns out that the tokens that record merit points and are held by each person are also the credentials for entering the market. If the token cannot be produced, it will be regarded as an enemy invasion. At best, they can be captured on the spot, or at worst, they can be killed directly.

As for the tokens on the Qi Practitioners they brought back, the demon cultivators had taken them away together with the storage bags when they were captured. How can they take them out now?

Zhuang Wuyou discussed with the guard monks in a good voice for a long time, and his words were almost worn out. The guards refused to let them in, and even threatened him that if they didn't leave quickly, they would all be arrested as agents of the devil's sect.

This made Zhuang Wuyou, who was already unhappy, furious on the spot. He thought that he and others worked desperately to rescue the captured monks and brought them back thousands of miles away. Not only did no one applaud their actions, but also He wanted to be questioned, so he exploded. If Xu Zhiyu hadn't seen the opportunity quickly, he would have taken action against the guards.

"Fellow Daoist Zhuang, calm down, be sure to calm down! The alliance stipulates that if a magic weapon is shown here, it will be regarded as an invasion by the demon sect. If you are killed, there will be no reason to reason. Listen to me and don't be impulsive! In fact, it's not just your feeling. I’m wronged, so why am I not?”

"Look, a senior from Zifu is coming over there. If we can talk to each other, maybe we can go in!" He pointed in the other direction and said kindly to dissuade him.

The person came very quickly and arrived in front of them in a matter of breaths. When they saw the foundation guards who were originally confronting Zhuang Wuyou, they immediately bowed and saluted:

"I've met Elder Hong!"

They didn't dare to make excuses, and they also said politely:
  "I've met Senior Hong!"

At a glance just now, I found that the person who came was about thirty years old, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. He was also holding a foot-long folding fan in his hand, but he had not opened it, but was holding it in his left hand, and he was beating his right hand in a rhythmic manner. In the palm of my hand, I saw him standing still and asking:
  "Why were you making so much noise here just now?"

A guard took a step forward and explained the cause and effect. Then Xu Zhiyu felt a powerful spiritual consciousness coming towards the place where they were standing. Except for the three foundation-building monks, dozens of other Qi practitioners were all affected by this powerful force. His consciousness was suppressed.

"What? I heard that you just wanted to force your way in. You were looking for death. I don't know which movie it was from. It's so unruly!"

The Zifu monk dressed as a rich man sneered. He didn't know if he was born like this or was just arrogant and liked to bully the weak. The spiritual pressure exerted on them all actually lasted for a cup of tea.

At this time, except for Zhuang Wuyou and Xu Zhiyu, who were still barely standing, everyone else was pressed down. Just when he wanted to continue to strengthen the pressure, he only heard a voice coming from behind, and he heard After this sound, he immediately relaxed.

"This little friend is so majestic! Is it possible that the Jade Luo Alchemy Palace is always so domineering?"

The visitor not only revealed the identity of Zifu who was embarrassing everyone, but also the pressure of his own golden elixir flashed through, saving Zhuang Wuyou and Zhuang Wuyou who were trapped in a quagmire.

"In ten more breaths at most, I won't be able to hold on anymore. I will inevitably end up like Liang Kai, lying on the ground. Fortunately, Granny Wen arrived in time, but this is too much of a coincidence!" He secretly thought. thought.

Jinyi Zifu, who suffered a secret loss, shook his hand with the folding fan, bowed and saluted:

"I don't know who the master is coming from, but please show up and see me!"

Before he could finish his words, Granny Wen, who was wearing a black robe, flashed in front of him and looked at him with an unkind expression.

"I dare to ask senior, Xiaoke just acted according to the order of the branch alliance. I wonder why senior interrupted me?"

I'm afraid that Jinyi Zifu also has a background. When he saw Granny Wen, whose cultivation was much higher than him, he didn't grovel, but asked loudly.

"Act according to orders, indiscriminately, and use force to suppress people. When did the sub-alliance give such an order? Since the identity is unknown, you can send a Jiji to go in, find their department, and pass on a message. What you just did, What's the use of this?" Granny Wen shouted.

In fact, she had already learned from Shan Zhenjun that Xu Zhiyu was going out to perform a mission. This time, she was secretly protecting him throughout the whole process. Originally, she would not show up, but she stepped forward when she saw that he was about to be humiliated. .

"What the senior taught me is that I will send people to their branches to deliver the news and ask them to come here to collect people!"

Jinyi Zifu was speechless by Granny Wen. He hurriedly put down his body and apologized. He originally regarded Xu Zhiyu and his group as soft persimmons, and wanted to show off his identity by showing off his identity. Now it seems that he has obviously been kicked. He was on the iron plate, and he was not a fool. When he saw something was wrong, he immediately gave in and got off the donkey. "No need, I'm in the same department as them, just go in and help them out, but I want to bring this guy in in advance, you guys can check it out, if there's nothing wrong we'll go in!"

She was referring to Xu Zhiyu. After the inspection was quickly completed, the two of them Shi Shiran walked into the gate of Fangshi. However, before leaving, he also comforted Zhuang and Liang with a few words, asking them to be calm and patient. Just wait.

The two were walking on the street one after another, looking around. He found that the smell of war was concentrated in the city at this time, even in the air. It made people feel very dull and depressing, and pedestrians were also coming and going in a hurry. , seemed extremely busy and anxious.

After thanking Granny Wen for rescuing the siege, he asked again:
  "Senior, something is wrong. Do you understand what happened?"

"I will tell you even if you don't ask. There will be a decisive battle between good and evil! The time is within the year! However, only some middle and high-level people in the alliance know about this matter. Just know it yourself and don't go around making blind noises!"

Granny Wen said with a solemn expression that there were many monks coming and going on the street. In order to keep it secret, she simply talked with her spirit.

"So soon?" he asked, feeling a little panicked. Although he had been looking forward to the end of this war as soon as possible and knew that the day of the decisive battle would definitely come, when it actually arrived, he felt that it was too sudden and in short, very contradictory.

"I'm unhappy. The reason for the stalemate over the past few years is firstly to mobilize enough manpower, and secondly to get familiar with each other's methods and find out the details. Now that the monks from both sides have gathered together, they have a clear enough understanding of each other, so a decisive battle is also possible. It’s a must!”

Next, Xu Zhiyu acted worried, and Granny Wen sighed secretly and told him two pieces of good news.

"Xu boy, don't look so sad, cheer up and let me tell you some good things!" Seeing that his attention was attracted, she continued:
  "The first good thing is that your grandfather has successfully broken through the Zi Mansion. I only got the news today. It was told to me by fellow Taoist Peng who is responsible for guarding the safety of your family! It is said that your grandfather broke through in seclusion a year ago and finally broke through today. Success, break through the barrier, a second Zifu monk appears in your family, what is the news?"

"This is of course the best news. Thank you, senior, for informing me!" Xu Zhiyu beamed with joy. If there weren't many monks here, he would have wanted to look up to the sky and laugh wildly. However, this good news did dilute his sorrow a bit.

"It's not over yet! I also received a message from the young lady. She said that two late-stage Jindan monks have been assigned from the main building to protect you and your family, so don't worry too much about the upcoming battle. The two of them, plus me, a total of three Jindan Daoist people, are enough to protect your entire clan!"

"With that said, I really want to thank Senior Tong very much! I just regret that we are too far apart and can't express my gratitude in person!" He said with emotion. He didn't expect that the original elixir would be of such great use and form such a great knot. With the good fate and what Granny Wen just said, his heart was completely at ease.

The two of them didn't talk much next. Instead, with the help of Granny Wen, they flew straight to the headquarters' General Affairs Hall. After the report, they met Shan Feier. After Xu Zhiyu told her the whole story, she didn't delay and went directly Taking the identity token given by Shan Zhenjun, he went to pick Zhuang Wuyou and the others into the city.

But before leaving, she also asked the two of them not to leave, and just wait here. This was no other place, but the attic where they accepted the mission last time.

"Senior, I have something to ask you. I wonder whether I should talk about it or not?" After drinking a few sips of the third-order spirit tea and washing away the dust from his body, he felt something in his heart and suddenly said.

"But it's okay to talk!" Granny Wen, who was also holding a cup of tea, signaled to him to speak if he had anything to say.

"I dare to ask, senior, have you been following us secretly this time when we went out on a mission?"

He had doubts about this question when she appeared at the city gate. It was just because the coincidence was a bit too much, and Granny Wen had also secretly protected him before, so he asked this question.

"Yes, you are smart enough to understand it so quickly! In fact, before you set off, Shan Zhenjun had come to me privately and asked me to escort you all the way. Originally, I didn't want to go. In my opinion, you These actions are no different than children playing house, but when I saw you on the list of task executors, I took over the task and took it easy! "

Seeing her admitting openly, he had another question in his mind, and then asked:

"Since you, senior, are secretly protecting us, then why didn't senior stop us when we evacuated and split into two groups? If I guessed correctly, you must have been following our group. If we go on the road together, say Maybe they can escape, and the other team won’t be wiped out!”

"Who told you that the other team was wiped out? That was what the Zifu demon cultivator deceived you. Their situation is better than yours. This time, a total of five foundation builders came back alive. They also have Protected by Master Jin Dan!”

Hearing the news, he was overjoyed at first. Of course he was happy to know that many of his companions on the mission had survived, but then he had even greater doubts.

"Senior, isn't this mission just an ordinary mission to destroy the enemy's mine and rescue the trapped monks? How come the two Jindan monks were alerted to escort them? Isn't this unnecessary? If we really want to save people, why should we go? Wouldn't it be over if you two Jindan just take action?"

In his opinion, this mission itself should not exist. It was like taking off your pants and farting, so he hoped that Granny Wen, a golden elixir monk, could help him solve his doubts. Unexpectedly, she just shook her head and guessed:
  "I also asked Zhenjun about this issue, but he didn't say it clearly. He just vaguely said that it might be related to the leadership struggle in the third department. He didn't say more specifically, and I didn't dare to ask more!"

Hearing this, he suddenly realized that they were being used as flags, and the two teams they were divided into on their return also represented the two forces of Taiyang Tower and Wuji Sword Sect in the third part. Depending on their performance, To determine the winner, the specific criterion may be the number of people brought back.

As for Granny Wen not helping her along the way, he guessed that she might have been told not to do anything until it was a critical moment of life or death, so they were in danger several times and relied on themselves to defeat their opponents.

During the chat, an hour passed quickly. He saw Shan Fei'er leading Zhuang Wuyou, Xie Hezhong and the others back together. When he thought about it, their team had lost because the other side had returned with more monks.

But when Shan Fei'er announced the result, he realized that the reason why the other party returned with more monks was because when the other party encountered a life-and-death crisis, Jin Dan, the real person who secretly protected them, took action, so the other party failed. They won.

The rewards were also very generous. He and Liang Kai each received 500 merit points. As the person in charge, Zhuang Wuyou went even further. He directly received 1,000 merit points, which was the sum of the two of them.

The mission was now completed. The monks who had been rescued returned to their respective buildings under Shan Feier's arrangement. The foundation-building monks who were on the mission also said goodbye to each other and went back.

After all, they have been through life and death together, and they still have some feelings for each other! He exchanged addresses with Liang and Zhuang and agreed to visit them when they had time.

After leaving the 'General Affairs Hall', because Granny Wen wanted to find Shan Zhenjun to reply to the order, he returned to the family headquarters alone.
