The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Weihaifang City is located at the junction of the Min Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom. It is surrounded by towering rocky mountains. There is only one chokepoint in the middle that connects the two countries.

At that time, the Qianyang Sect of the Fujian Kingdom and the Hanshui Sect of the Yan Kingdom both took a fancy to this dangerous place and wanted to take it for themselves. There was a war over this. In the end, neither side was willing to give up and took advantage of each other. The only thing that can happen is sitting together and negotiating.

In the end, both parties worked together to build a rather majestic city here. Because it was close to the sea, it was named Weihaifang City, which also meant to intimidate the forces of surrounding countries.

Originally, the two sects jointly sent people to take charge of this place. However, since the fall of the Yan Kingdom where the Hanshui Sect was located more than 20 years ago, logically speaking, this place should have been owned by the Qianyang Sect. However, the demon sect showed considerable strength at that time. It is powerful, and the Fujian country can only be regarded as a medium-sized country and does not have the ability to confront the demon sect head-on. Therefore, after discussion with the senior officials of the Qianyang Sect, they handed over the right to manage this place to Yang, whose strength is second only to theirs. Nine palaces.

This is done not only to avoid irritating the Demon Sect too much and attracting their army to attack, but also to protect this fortress. Even if the Demon Sect really wants to invade Fujian in the future, this place can also serve as a bridgehead. If it is really not good, it can also delay the Demon Sect. footsteps to buy time for the rear to react.

At this time, Xu Zhiyu arrived at the closed gate of Weihaifang City. When he was on the road just now, he met another monk. Although the two were on the same road, they were not walking together. After all, there was no inscription on the demon cultivator's forehead. It was necessary to be cautious, and the other party's cultivation level was still higher than his, and he was a monk on the fifth floor of Zi Mansion, so he tried to stay away from him, just controlled the flying sword, and followed the other party slowly, but The other person's back gave him a feeling of déjà vu.

By the way, after escaping the pursuit of the demon cultivator and ensuring that he was safe, he put away the three-color phoenix wings. Although this thing flew really fast, it took too much mana, even if he was flying while holding a middle-grade spirit. The recovery of stone is far from keeping up with the speed of consumption.

As soon as they arrived under the tall city wall of Fangshi, they were locked with spirit stone cannons and crossbow weapons, ready to attack if they disagreed. Xu Zhiyu could only jump down from the flying sword and collect it in the storage room. The ring shows that he has no ill intentions.

The other person also acted in the same way as him, but after putting away the magic weapon, he raised his head and shouted loudly:

"I am the elder of the Yang Jiugong Sect. Are there no disciples in the sect here? Come out and answer me quickly."

Hearing this, a monk's head stuck out from the crenellations on the city wall. He had a second-level cultivation base, poked his head down, and then asked tentatively:

"I would like to ask this uncle to forgive me. My nephew is also a disciple of the sect, but I have never seen my uncle's face. I also ask my uncle to report his detailed identity. I will report it to the uncle who is responsible for guarding the city in the sect and ask him to come over. Identify your identity, now that we are facing a formidable enemy, please forgive me, Uncle Master."

"It's easy to say, that's right. My name is He Youfu. He is the elder of the Weapon Refining Hall. He is quite famous in the sect. Go and report it!"

When Xu Zhiyu heard this, his pupils shrank sharply, he took a deep look at the monk standing in front of him on the left, and then quickly looked away, but the person in front seemed to be aware of it, and turned his head to look at him, He smiled and asked:

"This fellow Taoist is very nervous. I don't know why he is here this time."

Hearing the familiar voice coming from his ears, he was shocked, but his face remained calm as he cupped his hands and said:

"I, Xu Qingsheng, when I traveled to Qianyang City, I accidentally met Daoist Ji from your sect. I learned from him that Master Le Zhenren in Fang City had spiritual resources that I urgently needed, so I made a special trip to buy them."

"Fellow Daoist Ji, you are talking about Junior Brother Ji Bo, right? We haven't seen him for many years. I wonder how he is doing now?"

"Business comes to my door every day. The situation is very good. I should make a lot of spiritual stones."

He answered lightly. In fact, he was very resentful towards Ji Boshi, because now he found that he seemed to have been tricked. As for why, it was because he still had one more thing to verify. After getting the answer, he would It's settled.

"Okay, that's good!"

After saying this, He Youfu just looked him up and down. When he saw his tattered robe, he seemed to be thoughtful. Then he stopped talking, turned his head, and began to wait for the purple purple on the city wall. The appearance of the monk.

After a while, a monk from the third floor of Zi Mansion actually appeared. The two parties were obviously acquainted, and He Youfu's identity was confirmed. However, he did not let the latter in immediately, but turned to face He Youfu who was standing aside. Xu Zhiyu said:

"Fellow Taoist, please come with us. Uncle Master has a destiny. All monks who enter the market must undergo screening with magic weapons. Senior Brother He, you also need to take it. This is Uncle Master's order. Please forgive me! "

This shows that there is a difference between closeness and distance. The tone towards him is similar to a notice, but towards the monks of the same sect, it is just a discussion.

"Yes. Uncle Musician did this for the safety of the city. In addition, with the rampant demon sect now, we should indeed act with caution. As a member of the sect, He very much agrees with this. Let's go, fellow Taoist Xu, let's go together. This can also be done Save some spiritual stones."

After greeting him, He Youfu took a few steps forward, and he followed closely. The two finally stood side by side, and then the Zifu monk above them activated the fourth-level magic weapon he carried with him using a medium-grade spiritual stone. After that, a snow-white light surrounded the two of them. It was not until a breath of time passed that the light beam showed no change. The person responsible for testing above removed the inlaid spirit stone to indicate to them that there was no problem.

But the gate of Fangshi did not open immediately. Instead, after waiting for about a while, I saw a hole only more than a foot wide in the protective formation, and a rapid urging sound came from inside.

"Senior Brother He, Fellow Daoist Xu, hurry up, hurry up!"

Naturally, the two of them did not delay. With two whooshes, they filed in one after another. As soon as they entered Fang City, before they could stand still, four Zifu monks came forward in full armor. There were two more ambushes on the left and right of the city gate. The monk holding the talisman in his hand would activate the talisman if something went wrong and kill the two people into pieces.

When Xu Zhiyu saw this situation, he didn't think much about it, because he was also responsible for managing the city, and he understood that this was for the safety of the city, and in his sense of consciousness, it was not just the six people staring at them at this time. people.

However, He Youfu seemed a little guilty. Although he concealed it well and did not let the fellow monks of Yang Jiugong notice anything unusual, Xu Zhiyu, who had been observing carefully, discovered that he seemed to be a little concerned about such a tight guard. Surprised, but also slightly worried.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, right? Please come with us. Now I will take you to your residence first, and then wait for my uncle to see you and ask questions."

They did not stay here longer. Xu Youfu left directly under the leadership of two of his classmates, while the other two came to his side and politely but firmly wanted to take him to his residence. In this case, refusal was definitely not allowed. , so I can only go with the two of them.

After passing through several empty streets, the three of them came to a courtyard. It was also not simple here. We didn't see the open sentry, but there were many hidden sentries, and they were deliberately made so that you could sense them. You don't know what. reason. With a creak, the door opened, and what came into view were three wing rooms in the east, west, and north, with a small courtyard in the middle. However, both the west and east rooms were occupied, and he could vaguely feel the atmosphere. He was taken to the north room. , the person who escorted him here followed him into the house, and had no intention of leaving.

After feeling the level of spiritual energy here, he found that it actually had a third-level high-grade level, which made him very happy. However, seeing the two monks from Zifu standing beside him like door gods, his good mood was instantly ruined, but after all, this is It was someone else's territory, so he could only hold back his displeasure and said to the two of them:

"Do you have anything else to do, fellow Taoists? If nothing happens, I won't keep you two here. Firstly, you two are busy with official duties. Secondly, I was chased by demonic cultivators on the way here, and now I want to retreat for healing immediately. .”

"It doesn't matter, you can heal now and just pretend that we don't exist!"

Listen, is this human talk? Who wants to have others staring at you while you are doing exercises to heal your injuries? Maybe you will become obsessed with it, okay?

Seeing his unhappy expression, another person explained:

"Fellow Daoist Xu, please forgive me. These are all my master's orders. No one dares to violate them. We will only leave you after you meet the master. Before that, we must follow you every step of the way. !”

Hearing that it was Master Jin Dan's order, he could only put away his dissatisfaction and asked calmly:

"Then I wonder when I can see Master Le?"

"It's hard to say this. Master is currently meeting with Senior Brother He, because it also involves the whereabouts of other monks from our sect who came to rescue, so it may take some time. Fellow Taoist, please wait patiently. But it took such a long time. On the way, fellow Taoist Xu must have very little mana left, so you can meditate to recover now. The accommodations we have arranged for you are all at the spiritual energy nodes. Meditation can restore spiritual power quickly, so you might as well give it a try."

"Thank you fellow Taoist for reminding me!"

Seeing that the two of them had to guard themselves all the time, although he was not used to it, he could only take out the futon and sit on the floor, and began to meditate to restore his spiritual power. To be honest, he had been holding on just now, but in fact, his Dantian magic power had already been Almost dry.

However, while recovering his mana, he was also thinking about a question, that is, after meeting Master Le, whether he should tell Master Le about what he saw and heard on the road.

It is now obvious that He Youfu has definitely taken refuge in the Demon Cult, and the few Zifu monks who were with him were either in cahoots with him, or were all killed by the Demon Cult. Otherwise, if there are any fish that slipped through the net, He would never dare to enter Weihaifang City openly.

In fact, in normal times, he could turn a blind eye and ignore this nosy matter, but now it is clear that the Demon Sect is planning to attack Weihaifang City. If he turns a deaf ear, He Youfu and the Demon Sect will eventually attack Weihaifang City. What should I do? Then he probably won't escape death.

But it seemed inappropriate to tell him directly. He was an outsider after all, and He Youfu was from Yangjiu Palace. It was a taboo to have an intimate relationship. When Master Le asked him for evidence, what should he do? No matter where he goes to find evidence, he might have to have his soul searched in the end. He really doesn't dare to take such a risk.

Six hours passed like this, and he still hadn't figured out what to do, but the two people beside him reminded him that Master Le had sent a message to prepare to see him.

Finally, he secretly made up his mind and decided not to mention the matter for now, but he would not just watch He Youfu make trouble, but was going to find another way to remind Mr. Le of the matter.

Following the two of them to the Fangshi Management Hall, after seeing Zhenren Le, they bowed and then left. Xu Zhiyu bowed respectfully:

"Junior Xu Qingsheng has met Master Le."

Master Le stood in the center of the hall and did not answer. He just waved his hand gently. He stood up straight involuntarily. Then he saw the face of Master Le. He has an aura of calmness and self-importance, and based on his appearance, he seems to be several years younger than him, but his weathered eyes prove that all this is just an illusion.

"I heard from Dayou that you came to me to buy spiritual objects under the guidance of my disciples? Do you have any tokens as proof?"

When he heard the real person finally speaking, he didn't speak in a hurry. Instead, he compiled his words before replying seriously:

"Master, this is how it is. I heard that you have in your hand a second-level monster soul that has awakened your spiritual consciousness and supernatural powers. Under the guidance of fellow Taoist Ji, I came here specifically. This is a jade slip token, and it is also the first of your sect. A fellow Taoist gave it to fellow Taoist Ji, and then he passed it on to me, please take a look at it."

After taking the jade slip and looking at it with his spiritual consciousness, Master Le just nodded noncommittally, and then said:

"Yes, I do have these things in my hands, and I can sell them to you at a cheaper price. But now you understand the situation here. The Demon Cult is watching with eager eyes. I think we should wait until we can save the market before discussing the transaction. Well, little friend, what do you think?"

Now Xu Zhiyu can finally be sure of one thing, that is, he has been plotted against. From the moment he stepped into the Haizhen Pavilion and explained his intention to Ji Boshi, it was already destined that he would be forced to be involved in this incident today. It was a battle that had nothing to do with me.

"Everything follows the real person's orders!"

Now we can only take one step at a time. As for leaving at this time, it is pure nonsense. Even if Jin Dan doesn't care, he still has to consider his own life. Coming in from the outside will cost him half of his life. , now it is even more difficult to break out.

"Okay, then go back to your residence first, adjust your condition, and be ready to fight the demon cultivator at any time. I will inform you of the specific details."

"Yes, junior, please take your leave."

Just when he was about to leave and reached the entrance of the main hall, a monk from the Zifu hurriedly broke into the main hall and reported in a panic:

"Master, it's not good. The demonic cultivators have surrounded the entire city. They have begun a tentative attack at the main entrance. Senior brother just sent a messenger and asked me to ask Master for instructions. What should I do now? "

"Don't panic, I'm going to take a look first. I guess the Demon Cult is just making a tentative attack now. You should send out a rally signal now and order all the Zifu monks to join me at the gate of Fang City immediately."

After saying that, Master Lezhen's figure quickly disappeared into the hall. Seeing this situation, Xu Zhiyu also knew that he could not go back to his residence. He turned around and saw that the two Zifu who sent him here and the Zifu who had just reported the situation were discussing something, so he quickly walked over. (End of chapter)
