The Linggu people in the Liuxian Temple are anxious, not only the third prince was arrested, but a soldier just came to tell them that the national teacher is about to arrive, and now such a mess, it is estimated that as soon as the national teacher comes, these people in Linggu will not be able to eat and walk around, after all, everyone knows that the national teacher is a very face-loving person, and the loss of face makes him angry the most.

"Senior brother, what should I do now?" Lingyuan asked anxiously.

Linggu turned his head and said: "No one expected such a thing to happen, in case something happens to the third son, none of us can escape." ”

"yes, what should we do now, or let's go!" Lingchi spoke his mind.

"If you want to go, we have been tossing for so long, so we can't drive out the three old immortals, and there will be a good life soon, it's a big loss at this time, I won't leave!" Lingyuan turned his face immediately.

Linggu shouted: "Enough, the soldiers will block, the matter of the third prince will be put aside for the time being, the national teacher is coming soon, let's prepare to meet it!" After speaking, he went to arrange for the little Taoist priests to clean up the place that had just been messed up, looked around, and prepared to welcome the arrival of the national teacher.

Lingyuan and Lingchi looked at each other, and each went to make arrangements.

The team of the national teacher came quickly, and as soon as it was finished, the sound of drums was already heard. Linggu hurriedly led the Taoist priests in the temple to the main gate again, and stood there respectfully waiting.

How do you know that after the drum team arrived, they stood on both sides of the main gate, followed by a soldier, and saw that the Taoist priests were actually standing to greet the national teacher, and the next general asked Linggu and others to kneel to greet them.

Linggu was also stunned, how could there be such a rule, when did kneeling become so worthless? He hesitated, but the Taoist priests behind him were divided into two groups, one group was timid and had already begun to lift their robes and was ready to kneel, and the other group was unwilling to suffer such humiliation, holding their necks and looking at the general angrily.

Lingyuan and Lingchi also had different ideas, Lingchi was half-kneeling, and Lingyuan looked at Linggu and said, "Senior brother, it's too much to deceive people!" ”

The general didn't expect that these Taoist priests didn't kneel directly after his request, and dared to stand there, so they urged: "The national teacher will arrive soon, don't kneel yet!" The soldiers shouted at the same time: "Kneel! ”

The voice was neat and powerful, and it immediately frightened the timid and hesitant directly to their knees. The others who did not kneel down under the leadership of a Taoist priest turned around and saluted the head of the Liuxian Guan behind him, reciting the Tao Te Ching in his mouth, ignoring the people around him.

Linggu is also very entangled in his heart, don't kneel, it is possible to offend the national teacher before they meet, kneel, he himself is a little reluctant in his heart. Looking at the people around him, he was really a little uncomfortable in his heart, and said with a frown: "This general, we are all Taoist priests, except for Master Sanqing Ancestor and Banzai today, there is no need to kneel when you see anyone else." ”

As soon as he said this, the Taoist priests who were not kneeling all turned around and shouted loudly to the general: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! ”

Probably because he has been following the national teacher, this general also has that kind of arrogance in his bones, seeing that the Taoist priests are so faceless, he became angry at the moment, pointed to Linggu and said: "What are you, the national teacher can look at you, it is to give you face, and you dare to find a reason to speak out here, I think you are tired of life." Left and right, take down all the non-kneeling ones for me! ”

The soldiers hula surrounded the Taoist priest who was not kneeling, and one of them was about to go up to arrest someone. Linggu was anxious, "Wait!" ”

"Take it!" The general didn't listen to Linggu at all, and continued to ask the soldiers to arrest people.

Maybe they have forgotten that the Taoist priests who stayed in the immortal temple are all good at martial arts, and those who stand without kneeling are angry, and now they are going to be arrested if they don't kneel, what kind of truth is this, even if the ancestor of Sanqing came, he didn't do it.

At that moment, someone took the lead in resisting, and suddenly there was chaos in front of the gate. The soldiers didn't expect the Taoist priests to resist, but they didn't notice it for a while, and they were all knocked down by this group of Taoist priests in three or two breaths.

Lingyuan was also angry at this time, he really dared to do it, he really thought that this Liuxian Guan was easy to bully. He said towards Linggu: "Senior brother, it seems that we don't have a place in people's hearts, so forget it!" Let's stop licking our faces and sticking to other people's cold butts, even the lackeys dare to bark at you, I'm going to teach these dogs a lesson today. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Linggu to say anything, he flew up and rushed towards the general who was riding on the horse. I don't know if this general has been on the battlefield, and he doesn't seem to react immediately to Lingyuan rushing over.

It wasn't until Lingyuan's fist was amplified little by little under his eyes and the sound of the soldiers around him reminding him that he reacted, it was too late to dodge, and he was hit the face. The strength was so great that he flew out of the horse's back with a single punch, and fell heavily to the ground, without even making a sound, and fainted directly.

Now the matter is very big, the ground in front of the gate is full of fallen soldiers, the Taoist priests did not even touch the skin, one by one stood straight, even those who were kneeling on the ground hesitated to stand up.

Well, Linggu was completely disappointed, the things in front of him must not be good, seeing that Lingyuan had been surrounded by soldiers with weapons, Linggu shook his head and sighed, his eyes gradually became firm.

"Stand down!" Linggu let out a loud shout, separated the soldiers from the Taoist priests, stood in the middle, and pointed to the soldiers surrounding Lingyuan and said, "When the national teacher comes, he will deal with it, and we won't leave, why don't we go and see how the general is?" ”

The soldiers had no leader, and when they heard Linggu say this, they hesitated to retreat, and the two were busy going to see the generals, and the others were vigilantly surrounding the Liuxian Temple, just waiting for the national teacher to come.

After waiting for a long time, it is said that the team of the national teacher is behind, but I haven't come over for such a long time, I don't know what happened?

Suddenly, a fast horse galloped over from behind, and the person on the horse said loudly: "The National Teacher's Order, everyone should return to the National Teacher's Mansion immediately, there must be no mistake!" The man on horseback circled in front of the Taoist temple, and without stopping, he turned his horse back and went back.

Now the soldiers are dizzy, what is this for? If the national teacher doesn't come, what will the general do, what will these Taoist priests do?

Linggu was also stunned, what is the national teacher going to do? Could it be that when something happens, how can you just say that you can leave without even showing your face? But after thinking about it, he was also secretly glad that the national teacher was not here, otherwise he really didn't know how to end it on his side.

After the man on the horse left, the soldiers looked at Linggu and the others, and began to evacuate the whole team, and the Taoist priests also breathed a sigh of relief, especially Lingyuan, who was really a little angry just now, and now that I think about it, I am a little afraid, in case the national teacher comes to investigate, it is really difficult to explain.

Fortunately, this was the end of the matter, he turned around and looked at Linggu who had just stepped forward, his heart was warm, and he nodded towards Linggu.

The soldiers retreated, Linggu beckoned everyone to enter the temple as well, and after closing the gate, this was a sigh of relief, leaving the spiritual source and the spiritual pool, and letting the other Taoist priests retreat, and said as they walked: "Tell me what happened today?" ”

Lingyuan shook his head and said, "I don't know what the national teacher means, but senior brother has something I don't vomit and be unhappy." ”

"You say!" Linggu motioned for him to continue.

"Senior brother, did we do things without thinking about it clearly, how do I feel that in the eyes of the national teacher and the third son, we are dispensable people, is it really worth it for us to do this?" Lingyuan finally asked the words that he was holding back in his heart.

Lingchi also said: "Yes, senior brother, our senior brother follows you, and he has nothing to say about what he does, but he must always be worthy of himself, the current situation does not seem to be what the third prince promised before?" ”

Linggu actually felt something in his heart, but he didn't want to say it, now that the two juniors have said it, he sighed and said: "Yes, after the third prince was kidnapped, I felt this way, it seems that the two juniors also feel the same way, hey, since it has been done, we can't turn back, let's think about what the way back, I think the national teacher and the Guogong Mansion will definitely not let us go." ”

This is what I said in my heart, Lingyuan and Lingchi could hear that Linggu was a little depressed and helpless in his words, nodded together, and followed Linggu into the main hall again.

It's still the Lingguan Palace, it's still the Sanqing statue, but I can't feel the solemn and solemn atmosphere anymore, as if something is missing all of a sudden, so that there is no longer the previous aura here.

The three of them kowtowed to the Sanqing statue, and after getting up, Linggu looked at the futon in front of him, and after thinking about it, he still sat in his position before he went to the side, and he didn't dare to sit in the position where Qingxiazi was sitting.

The same Lingyuan and Lingchi also sat in their places, waiting for Linggu to speak.

"Two junior brothers, it seems that this immortal watch is still in our hands now, but you also know that sooner or later you will have to be taken over by the national teacher. The conditions that the third prince promised us thought it would be very easy to achieve, but now that the third prince has been taken captive, let's not think about that, and think about how the Guogong Mansion will face it after getting the news. ”

"Senior brother, the third prince was taken away from us, but can you blame us? He didn't bring soldiers in himself, and that person was not from our Taoist temple, so even if the Guogong Mansion sent someone here, we wouldn't be afraid of them. Lingchi said loudly.

Lingyuan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You think too simply, are those of them reasonable?" People say they were taken captive with us, what can you do? Besides, people won't tell you this at all, just send troops to arrest all the brothers and sisters of the Taoist temple, what can you do? Are you really ready to fall out with the Guogong Mansion? ”

Lingchi stiffened his neck, his face was slightly red, and he said: "If you fall out, you will fall out, isn't it all for their affairs that we have come to this point?" ”

"Lingchi, we are not anyone's opponent!" Linggu also spoke: "The national teacher is already powerful enough, plus a national prince, we don't even have a chance of winning." Hey, let's think of something else! With a long sigh, the hall fell silent.
