The dinner went on harmoniously and smoothly, and no one made much fuss about the inheritance, which showed that they had discussed it with each other.

Li Zhi is also happy to be clean, and there are some things to explain to the host of Tianzhu Mountain Yulin Guan alone, which will minimize his chances of appearing in public, which will help him in the future.

Because in the near future, he will still need to face the hidden forces of the cultivation world hidden in the shadows, and at present, he is the only one who has the ability to influence this rather mysterious-sounding Fengyi Alliance.

The name of the Fengyi Alliance is early the next morning, and the head of Zishi Dao who came to the door personally informed him, according to its literal understanding, it can be understood as a secret organization that will only appear in a special period.

Zishi Daoist also learned after last night, since the information between the various forces, that is, the ancestor of Yulinguan, which was unheard of before.

"That's the case, the elder of Purple Mist Peak also learned about it by accident, and it was more than twenty years ago, so I can conclude that at least the forces of Tianzhu Mountain are not even indirectly related to the Fengyi Alliance!"

Hearing this, Li Zhi sighed and gasped, "If you say that you have a view of Yulin, no matter the scale and strength, even if it is not one of the best in the entire cultivation world, it will be extremely prestigious, after all, the posture of a cultivation sect such as Tianzhu Mountain openly gathering is rare in Datang." ”

Daoist Zishi's expression was equally solemn, "The cultivation world is similar to a spokesperson organization like the Fengyi League, it has no specific name, it was called the Council of Elders earlier, and there were people in charge of the royal family who raised the issue of the influence of the prestige of the imperial power, and that title no longer exists. ”

"How is the direct dialogue between the cultivation world and the imperial court resolved?"

"Every five years, there will be relevant personnel from the imperial court to congratulate them, and there are several meetings where the families of various forces meet during the big competition. It was rumored that there was a secret transaction between the cultivation world and the imperial court, and as far as I know, after the dissolution of the Council of Elders, it no longer existed. Of course, if the imperial court communicates otherwise with mysterious organizations such as the so-called Fengyi Alliance, not only do I not know, but top forces such as Tianhuo Zhai and Qiantianguan also have limited knowledge. ”

Tianhuo Village and Qiantianguan are located in the Tianshan Mountains in the west and the Nanling Mountains in the central part of the country, and they are currently recognized as the most powerful cultivation forces in the cultivation world, and they are also the two oldest sects.

"These two sects also participate in the five-year competition?"

"It's not just as simple as participating, there will be people from other large forces, all of whom are sent in the name of friendly exchanges, but we all know that this is just a way for them to show off their presence. But they do have the ability, because the two factions never send their masters to the imperial court, so their true strength has never been really known to the outside world. ”

"Won't the court be disgusted by this?"

"How not! As a result, these two places have been in a semi-hidden state for hundreds of years, and no other forces are allowed to appear within a hundred miles of the surrounding area, at least on the surface, they are isolated. ”

"Then why did the court allow them to participate in the big competition?"

"I have asked people in the court about this before, and the answer I got is that after all, they have not completely torn their faces, and the court can learn as much as possible about some of their strength through Dabi. But after knowing about the existence of the Beacon Alliance last night, I think there is something strange about it. ”

Li Zhi's mouth was just soft, knowing that he couldn't answer why.

After a brief pause, he then asked, "What part of the people who have contact between the court and you?" ”

"Usually there are three fixed people, one of the two from the four grades of Dali Shaoqing, and Gong Hanyin, the general of Zuowei Zhonglang, who will appear almost every time. And then there is an unidentified first-level or second-level master, who never says much, and no one introduces him, as if he is guarding him! ”

"Dali Shaoqing?"

It is common sense for the other two people to appear, why Dali Temple is involved, which makes Li Zhi very surprised.

Daoist Zishi then added, "The three of them are dressed in civilian clothes every time they appear, because the cultivation world Dabi will only appear in a certain deep mountain, so the interrogation of outsiders is very strict, and the three of them need to hold specially created special tokens before they can enter. ”

Li Zhi's frowning brows suddenly dispersed in the next moment, "Host Zishi, do you know that Dali Temple has a special department?" ”

"Yes!" Zishi Daochang's expression became solemn at once, "It's called the secret pattern inner guard, and it doesn't exist in the sequence of the six mansions and twelve guards, even if the people in Dali Temple know very little." It is said that this organization has few members, its identity protection is very hidden, and its internal requirements are extremely strict. ”

"How do you know about such secrets?"

"Before I took over as the presiding officer, Yu Linguan publicly expelled a first-level master, and since then, this person has disappeared, and that was twenty-five years ago. Later, I took over as the presiding officer, and the current ancestor had secretly confessed to me, and this person's handling was carried out on the orders of the imperial court, and the old man only told me that he belonged to the secret internal guard, which was the top secret of the imperial court. ”

Among the six governments and twelve guards, there is an internal security department, which is also a confidential unit, in order to investigate and deal with corrupt officials who violate the law and law, and people who do not conform to the emperor's wishes, and many ministers and royal families are frightened.

Obviously, the secret pattern internal guard mentioned by Zishi Dao Chang is more mysterious and independent than these people, which reminds Li Zhi of those mysterious people sent by King Ming more than a year ago because of Xue Huaiyi's incident.

Thinking about it at this time, Xue Huaiyi came to Chang'an City from Wu Zetianqin's order, and he will inevitably get the most perfect protection with the help of the Wu family and Princess Taiping in the city.

The personnel of the secret unit of the ordinary Dali Temple naturally can't escape the eyes of the people who are secretly protecting, and can only play a frightening role, and only by dispatching the unknown and more terrifying secret pattern internal guards can they find out all the whereabouts of Xue Huaiyi in Chang'an City without a trace.

However, Li Zhi did not intend to ask King Ming about this matter, King Ming had always been upright and almost stubborn, and he didn't want to cause some problems in the relationship between them because of this.

Moreover, he asked Daoist Zishi in such detail, not because he wanted to know some details through those people.

He has the ability to detect special existences, and in order to ensure that he does not startle the snake, he will never be stupid enough to come to the door.

Moreover, even if that secret pattern internal guard, if it is really as he suspects, it is a specific liaison between the imperial court and the Beacon Alliance, it will not represent anything for the time being, because according to his estimate, although the friend or foe of the Beacon Alliance is currently unknown, the latter is more likely.

Because of the cultivation strength of these people, they must be the pinnacle of the cultivation world, but they have never interfered directly in the specific affairs of the cultivation world for hundreds of years, which shows that the internal management of their organization is quite strict, and the delineation of responsibilities must be extremely high.

"Host Zishi, this matter is over, don't leak it again. You came to the door so early in the morning just to tell me this? At this time, a smile appeared on Li Zhi's face.

Daoist Zishi was not embarrassed at all, and seemed to have forgotten his current identity as the host of Yulin Temple: "Since Mr. Li has promised me to follow by my side, I will naturally not leave half a step from this moment on!" ”

His words were quite magnificent, but in fact, it was not for Li Zhi to agree to his promotion.

Li Zhile said: "It's up to you, to be honest, I have a way to improve your realm, but I don't hide it from you if you need a mental test." ”

"Mr. Li doesn't need to explain, I know very well in my heart, with my current third-level master Great Perfection, I am in the realm of grandmaster at the advanced level, I know the great significance of the word grandmaster, but I will not deliberately pretend, sooner or later Mr. Li will not regret my advancement!"

Zishi Daochang knows how to take advantage of changes very well, and his ability to deal with it flexibly and flexibly is very good, and the heart of Akagi does not need to be deliberately displayed, which can make Li Zhi feel trustworthy.

Soon after he arranged and accompanied him to breakfast, many officials came to the mountain, naturally for the official reception banquet at noon, and the dignified public arrived, Li Zhi showed a clear refusal, and he couldn't stop their enthusiasm.

Li Zhi also knew that if he insisted on going on his own, these visitors would stay far away in the mountains for a long time, and then simply follow down the mountain early, so as to talk about the customs and customs here.

The banquet at noon was warm and vulgar, and Li Zhi would not feel impatient because of this, since it is not easy to dodge, it is better to settle down and deal with it, and support each other, which is the consistent style of life in the officialdom.
