"Heavenly Master, your guest has been brought."

The little Taoist trotted to Yuan Zhenzi, who was immortal but unkempt.

Motomako nodded slightly, "Hmm...... Go ahead! ”

It's just that the words are so simple, but it makes the little Taoist priest's face full of excitement, and he answers, and the figure that turns around and runs back seems to be a little brisker.

He had seen the Heavenly Master before, but where had he spoken to the Heavenly Master?

Even when he came to pass the word before, he just asked the senior brother of the Heavenly Master Academy to pass it on his behalf, and he didn't get to see the face of the Heavenly Master.

Being able to meet the Heavenly Master and talk to the Heavenly Master is definitely worth bragging about in his generational circle. It turns out that the Heavenly Master is really so approachable.

Zhao Dongting did not put on the emperor's stand, and took the lead in arching his hand to Yuan Zhenzi, "Yuan Zhenzi's predecessors, it's been a long time. ”

Yuan Zhenzi greeted him outside and said softly: "Your Majesty, the poor road has been waiting for a long time......

It's just that at this moment, the smile on his face is vaguely complicated.

Zhao Dongting didn't notice this, and complained with a soft smile: "I'm not as comfortable as the Heavenly Master, if I didn't have to worry about state affairs, I would have come a long time ago!" ”

Yuan Zhenzi laughed twice and didn't answer the conversation.

"Xu Ci has seen the Heavenly Master."

"Hong Wutian has seen the Heavenly Master."

Mrs. Xu and Hong Wutian both bowed their hands to Yuan Zhenzi.

With their status in the rivers and lakes, they are considered peers with Yuan Zhenzi, and there is no need to make a big gift.

"It turned out to be the leader of the beggar gang Hong and Mrs. Xu, who was old and polite."

Yuan Zhenzi also saluted, but there was no surprise on his face. Obviously, although he was in the mountains, he also knew about Hong Wutian and Mrs. Xu in the Song Dynasty.

Then, he asked Zhao Dongting, Hong Wutian, and Mrs. Xu to go to the courtyard.

When you get inside, you can see that this is a rather old mansion through the faint afterglow of the setting sun. There are only a few thatched huts inside, and there are water tanks in front of the door, and there are even chickens and ducks, etc., and there are cages. In the middle of the yard is a huge ginkgo tree, and in this season, the leaves are still green.

It just looks like a well-thought-out house.

Zhao Dongting couldn't help but sigh, "The Heavenly Master is really close to nature......"

Yuan Zhenzi said: "Taoism is the way of nature. ”

Zhao Dongting nodded, but thought in his heart, it can't be that this Yuan Zhenzi was born idle and unwilling to take care of things, so he lived in such a courtyard!

His personality is very similar to Hong Wutian, and it is impossible to say that the two can have similar interests.

At this time, from the second thatched hut on the right, a Kun Daoist (female Taoist) came out, wearing a cyan Taoist robe, but it was still difficult to hide her exquisite figure.

Seeing Zhao Dongting, the female Taoist priest who still had the charm saluted and said: "Poor Dao Yuxiangzi has seen the emperor. ”

She recognized Zhao Dongting's identity as soon as she saw her, which made Zhao Dongting couldn't help but show a little surprise, and then nodded lightly.

Yuan Zhenzi said beside him: "This is a poor Taoist monk. ”

The Heavenly Master Dao is different from the Quanzhen Dao, the Quanzhen Dao requires precepts, you can't get married, have children, and you can't eat meat, but the Heavenly Master Dao is okay.

Otherwise, how could the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain only pass on to the Zhang family with the bloodline of the Zhang family?

When Zhao Dongting heard this, he gave his hand again, "The seniors are polite." ”

This female Taoist priest is actually the Taoist companion of Yuan Zhenzi, and her seniority in the Heavenly Master Dao is obviously extremely high, and she can withstand his "senior".

The female Taoist priest smiled in return.

Although Yu Xiangzi is Kun Dao, in the Dao of Heavenly Masters, he is also the position of a small Heavenly Master.

Take a seat in your room.

Yu Xiangzi was making tea next to him, with a light smile on his face and an indifferent expression.

Zhao Dongting estimated that there was no place for him to live in this courtyard, and asked out loud: "Senior Yuan Zhenzi, where is the Heavenly Cave Heavenly Master?" ”

Yuan Zhenzi said: "Senior brother has been waiting for the emperor for a long time, but it is not convenient to meet the emperor at this time. Your Majesty, let's stay in the temple first! ”

Although Zhao Dongting was a little puzzled, he still nodded.

Yuan Zhenzi said again: "Senior brother instructed the poor Dao that before meeting with the emperor, he had to ask the emperor to practice with the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple for a while. ”

"This ......"

Zhao Dongting hesitated, "The affairs of the DPRK and China are busy, but what does the Heavenly Master mean by this move?" ”

Yuan Zhenzi said: "The human body is like a cylinder, and the internal gas enters the water. Although the internal qi will also subtly improve the physical fitness of the human body during cultivation, the emperor has ever thought that you have only been practicing for three years, and even if you enter the realm extremely quickly, you will definitely not be able to withstand the empowerment of your senior brother. So, now you have to raise your physique to a certain level before you can have a successful initiation. ”

Zhao Dongting was no longer indifferent, his face was solemn, "Okay, then I will start forging my body tomorrow." ”

He knew that if the empowerment failed, his cultivation would be wasted, and at worst, he would explode and die. Either result, he can't afford it.

Although he was unwilling to delay too long in Longhu Mountain, there was no other way at the moment.

Yuan Zhenzi nodded, a slightly weird smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Then the emperor will drink tea first, and then the old Taoist will bring his disciples to the emperor's residence." ”

Yu Xiangzi said: "This tea is a specialty of Longhu Mountain, the tea of the mountains, but I don't know if it is suitable for the emperor's taste." ”

Zhao Dongting said with a smile: "I'm afraid that my predecessors don't know something, and I really don't have any research on tea." ”

And Hong Wutian's eyes had already swept over Hong Wutian and Mrs. Xu again, and said, "As for the two of them, they will stay in the temple these days, and Lao Dao will arrange accommodation for the two of them." ”

Hong Wutian heard the voice outside the words, and his brows condensed, "Aren't we guarding the emperor's side?" ”

Yuan Zhenziyun said lightly: "Although everyone in the world thinks that my senior brother has gone west, but not everyone in our Dragon and Tiger Mountain has come to spread the wilderness, and the two of you can rest assured of this." The emperor's identity is inconvenient to publicize, but the old Taoist will say that the emperor is my personal disciple, even if someone sneaks into the mountain, the disciples in the view will not sit idly by and watch the emperor in danger. ”

It's just that I don't know why, but when he said this, the smile on the corner of his mouth turned out to be a little more mysterious.

This smile made Zhao Dongting faintly chill, but he couldn't understand where the problem was.

What he can be sure of is that Dragon Tiger Mountain will not be unfavorable to him. Because Longhu Mountain wants to do this, why wait until now?

When he and Hong Wutian and Mrs. Xu entered the audience, they could completely surround the three of them. With the ability of Dragon and Tiger Mountain, even if Hong Wutian and Mrs. Xu were both masters of the True Martial Realm, I was afraid that it would be difficult to escape with them.

After a little silence, Zhao Dongting said: "From then on, in the view, the seniors called me Zhao Dongting." ”

Yuan Zhenzi chuckled, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid I'll have to call you a fugitive in the future!" ”

He looked a little smug.

Zhao Dongting couldn't cry or laugh. always felt that this old Taoist priest was deliberately taking advantage of him.

At this time, I suddenly heard a cooing sound.

Everyone was surprised, Hong Wutian smiled and patted his belly and said, "Old beggar...... The five visceral temples of the head have rebelled. ”

They rushed to Longhu Mountain from Liuxian Town, but they didn't even eat dinner.

"It's the old way that is slacking."

Yuan Zhenzi showed a rare look of ridicule on his face, and he hurriedly got up and ran outside.

Soon his voice rang out outside, "Get some fast!" Serves five! ”

After he came in, it was not long before a middle-aged Taoist priest brought in a meal, both meat and vegetarian, and it was quite exquisite.

This made Zhao Dongting a little surprised. He originally thought that the Taoist priests lived a life of coarse tea and light food on the mountain.

While he was having dinner with Hong Wutian and Mrs. Xu, Yuan Zhenzi went out again.

Yu Xiangzi didn't say much, he just smiled and was silent. It seems that she is much more like a Taoist priest than Yuan Zhenzi.

Only ten minutes after the meal, two more Taoist priests walked into Yuan Zhenzi's courtyard.

However, their seniority is not low, and when they saw Yuan Zhenzi and Yu Xiangzi, they shouted with a salute: "I have seen Uncle Yuan Zhenzi and Uncle Yu Xiangzi." ”

No wonder these two Taoist priests look quite old, and they turned out to be Yuan Zhenzi's apprentices. This generation is already regarded as a pillar in Taoism in the world.

It can be said that the current Taoism is really controlled by people of this generation, such as Zhang Tiandong and Yuan Zhenzi, who only occasionally ask about major events and rarely show up.

Yuan Zhenzi introduced to Zhao Dongting that it turned out that these two Taoist priests were the current Zhengyi Guan Guan Master and the elder in charge of food and lodging.

Zhao Dongting gave the two of them a courtesy.

Yuan Zhenzi said to the main contemplation of Zhengyiguan: "Qing Songzi, in the future, my disciples will be taught by you first, focusing on refining the body, and together with your disciples." ”

Qing Songzi showed a look of surprise, and then nodded, but in his heart he was thinking, when did Uncle Yuan Zhenzi rise up with the idea of accepting apprentices?

Yuan Zhenzi had already said to the elder again: "Qingyunzi, these two are the beggar gang leader and his wife, you go and arrange a room for them to live in the temple." ”

Not to mention, although Yuan Zhenzi is dressed sloppily, he is really a little majestic in front of these junior disciples.

Qingyunzi also agreed.

Soon, Zhao Dongting, Hong Wutian, and Mrs. Xu were each taken away by Qing Songzi and Qing Yunzi.
