The little Taoist priest knocked on the door, and sure enough, the side door opened. It was the old Taoist priest who came out.

The old Taoist priest did not say a word, nor did he carry a lantern, and by the moonlight, he should lead the way first.

Walking around, he came to a firewood house, and the old Taoist priest pointed to that and quietly retreated.

The little Taoist priest pushed open the wooden door, and one person turned to look. He has white eyebrows and white beard, and his face is ruddy, he is the abbot of Jiuxiaoguan, the senior brother of Shou Zhenzi, and Wu Zhenzi.

Wu Zhenzi immediately asked, "But Tianyizi?" ”

The little Taoist priest stepped forward to salute: "It's the junior." ”

Satoru Mako sighed, "Hey, you shouldn't have come. ”

The little Taoist priest frowned: "The layout of today's official mansion is really for the younger generations?" ”

"Exactly! Senior brother, he was worried that you would fall into the net by mistake, so he repeatedly told the poor Dao that if there is a little Taoist priest with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes and a bit of a female appearance coming here to find him, he must convey a word, run for your life quickly, the farther away the better! Poor Dao originally thought, how could there be such a clever thing in the world, but I didn't expect that you would really come. ”

"Senior Brother Wuzhen, this is the will of heaven. Providence has called the younger generations here, and naturally has its own arrangements. The younger generation obeys the will of heaven! ”

Wu Zhenzi shook his head: "Lord Li opened this net in the Nine Night Palace, and he didn't think about catching your fish. Otherwise, no matter how alert you are today, I am afraid that you will not be able to escape this fate. After you left, Poor Dao looked at Master Li as if he regretted it, and he must have been suspicious. Tianyizi, don't ask anything else, leave quickly at night. If it is delayed until tomorrow, once the accident changes, you will not be able to leave if you want to. ”

The little Taoist priest shook his head: "Senior Brother Wuzhen, since I am here, I can't leave in a daze." The junior also asked the senior brother for guidance, what happened? How is Senior Brother Shouzhen doing now? ”

Wu Zhenzi sighed: "Since you insist on this, let's talk about it." ”

"Since Dazhou came back, my junior brother has been bent on recuperating from his injuries and never asks about mundane things. Originally, everything was fine, but fifteen days ago, Master Li suddenly came to Lizhou. ”

"Although Master Li knows about the affairs of Lizhou, he has other assignments, and he is not usually here. The big and small affairs of Lizhou are all in charge of Zhang Tongju. No one could have imagined that as soon as he came back this time, he would be ruthless to Jiuxiaoguan. ”

The little Taoist priest frowned and said: "Senior Brother Wuzhen, the Shenxiao Sect is famous and has many believers, and before Jianyan Nandu, it was already a famous Taoist sect in the world, so don't you have the slightest power to fight back?" ”

Wu Zhenzi smiled bitterly: "Although the Shenxiao faction is powerful and has extensive connections in the court, there are many tribes in the faction, and my Jiuxiao Palace is just one of them. ”

"Then Lord Li is a member of the imperial court who holds real power, he communicated the relationship with the Ministry of Rites, invited the official document of the Ministry of Rites, and made a big inventory in Lizhou. It's just, hehe, he just passed by other temples and Taoist temples, and I had a nine-night view, fifty-three monks, and thirty-eight people were imprisoned by him! ”

"That's not all, under his encouragement, within three days, I received 21 lawsuits against Jiuxiaoguan, accusing me of occupying official land and occupying people's land, and the crowd was angry for a while. Then Master Li didn't love the people so much, so he simply stayed in my Jiuxiao Palace for a long time, saying that he would not give up if he did not find out about this matter! ”

"What's even more hateful is that this guy has done a good job of official articles, and everything he has done has a law to follow. On the surface, he expressed deep sympathy for my Jiuxiao Palace, and asked for warmth, which is really hateful! ”

"Hey, this time he planned carefully, the attack was sudden, and he was ruthless, my Shenxiao faction is so good, how to deal with it in a hurry? Even if the relationship is communicated in the future and the important ministers are moved, I am afraid that this Jiuxiao Palace will no longer belong to my Shenxiao faction. ”

"Poor Dao was very puzzled at the time, and he didn't understand how Lord Li and I had no grudges and no enmity in the near future, how could they make this great enemy for no reason? If people in this officialdom do things without full interests, who is willing to do this? It wasn't until Senior Brother Shouzhen found me and talked about the matter of Sanniu Village that Poor Dao understood that there was a chance that this matter would be done by that mysterious force. There is no other reason, only revenge. ”

The little Taoist priest was silent, recalling that Shou Zhenzi had said that day:

Those people in this world who really do great things and have great power don't need evidence to do things! Wipe out all the objects of suspicion, and the real culprit will naturally die!

How important is the matter of cathode beads? With the amazing talent of the layout and the unfathomable power of the mysterious gang, not to mention you, all the people involved in the matter of entering Sanniu Village, I am afraid, they will die without a place to be buried!

At that time, he still felt that Mamoru was really alarmist, but now it seems that he is indeed "too young and thinks things too simply".

The little Taoist priest asked, "Where is Senior Brother Shouzhen now?" ”

Wu Zhenzi was silent, and on that white eyebrows and white beard, kind and kind face, endless resentment and infinite pain gradually emerged.

Knowing what happened, Poor Dao privately asked to see Master Li. But Master Li did everything without leakage, pretending not to know anything about it. It wasn't until he forced my Jiuxiao Palace to be cornered and just wanted to fight to the death that he opened his mouth. ”

He said that Xingyuan Mansion had heard that evil ghosts were rampant, attacking and killing villagers, causing anger and resentment. Since my Shenxiao sect is a major Taoist sect, the thunder method I have learned is omnipotent. Then please be anxious about the urgency of the people and send people to Xingyuan Mansion as soon as possible to get rid of this scourge and restore peace to the villagers. At that time, the merit will naturally be redeemed, and the whole view will be up and down, and there will be no trouble. ”

After speaking, Master Li ordered seven people. It was the people who went to Sanniu Village that day, there were a lot of them, and they were all inside. ”

"At this time, Poor Dao still doesn't understand the purpose of this Lord Li."

"This is clearly a gamble, using the safety of my Jiuxiao Guan as a bargaining chip, forcing my junior brother to go to Xingyuan Mansion. On the side of Xingyuan Mansion, the mysterious gang must have set a deadly trap. If my brother and the others can escape from the trap, the matter may be closed; If not, there is no place to bury you! ”

"After understanding this festival, Poor Dao strongly persuaded my junior brother not to go, it's a big deal, I don't want the foundation of this Nine Night Palace. The matter of the cathode bead is very important, and this one will definitely die. But the younger brother thought about it for a night, but on the second day he said that he would definitely go. ”

"The poor road tried hard to stop it, but the junior brother didn't listen. He said that since this mysterious gang has come to the door, there is no way to escape. Even if you lose the Nine Night Palace this time, but the other party can't make a plan, it will inevitably have another plan. In this case, it is better to make a one-time break. ”

"Jiuxiao Palace is the foundation passed down by the ancestors, and the poor Daoxi is the abbot, so he is naturally unwilling to let this foundation fall into the hands of others. In desperation, the poor road can only agree! ”

Speaking of this, Wu Zhenzi cried: "Over the years, the poor Dao has been dedicated to cultivating the Tao, and he has rarely worried about mundane things, and it is all his junior brother who is working hard. My junior brother has been busy all his life for my Shenxiao faction, and when he is old, he still has to pay his death generously. Poor Dao is ashamed of his junior brother! ”

Speaking of Wu Zhenzi, he beat his chest and cried bitterly, this old Taoist with white eyebrows and white beard, at this moment, he cried like a child, which caused the tears in Xu Ruoxue's eyes to fall.

After his grief was relieved, the little Taoist priest asked, "In this way, Senior Brother Shouzhen, Tianyizi and Shouyizi have all gone." ”

Satoru Mako shook her head: "Mamoru didn't go. Her common surname is Zhang, and the Zhang family is a scholarly family in Bazhou, and there are several officials in the court. After my sister learned of this incident, she sent someone to Bazhou overnight. So when he set off later, Shou Yizi returned to Bazhou. The other six people don't have such a family background, so they naturally don't have this good luck. ”

The female Taoist priest didn't go, which was also a great luck in misfortune.

"Senior Brother Wuzhen, how long have they been there?"

"I left six days ago, and now I'm halfway there."

The little Taoist priest nodded and was silent.

Wu Zhenzi was stunned for a moment, and the two white eyebrows gradually wrinkled: "Tianyizi, what do you mean by this?" Such a catastrophe is avoided by ordinary people, do you still want to plunge into it? ”

The little Taoist priest was silent.

Wu Zhenzi was furious: "Confused! Confused! I think my junior brother has always been old-fashioned, and rarely praises people, but he is full of praise for you. said that you were the only true disciple of Tianyun Zhenren, the 'world's No. 1 ghost hunter', and you were extremely talented, and you will definitely be able to excel in the future. That's a death trap, you can leave now, why do you have to step into it? Wouldn't it be good to keep this useful body and take revenge later? ”

The little Taoist priest didn't want to argue with him, so he nodded and took his leave.

Wu Zhenzi knew that he didn't listen, and before parting, he took his hand and persuaded him, but the little Taoist priest just nodded, but he didn't say anything.

The little Taoist priest turned over and got on the horse, but before he raised the whip, he felt a numb back, and his body couldn't help but weaken, and he was falling into a soft embrace.

Xu Ruoxue helped him sit down, waved his horsewhip, rode away, and left Lizhou overnight.

In the middle of the moon, the little Taoist priest finally regained some strength, he struggled hard, and Xu Ruoxue restrained the horse.

The little Taoist priest was furious, and turned his head to glare at Xu Ruoxue. Xu Ruoxue had tears in her eyes, but she looked at her stubbornly.

The little Taoist priest's heart softened, and he sighed: "Ruoxue, you shouldn't do this." ”

Xu Ruoxue choked up and said, "I don't care if I should or not." I'm just a little woman, I just think of my husband and take care of my little family, what's wrong with me? Is there something wrong? ”

"Husband, recklessly, sacrificing one's life for righteousness, this is what we should do as a chivalrous man. You're not a chivalrous man, you're a Taoist, why do you have to succeed as a hero? ”

The little Taoist priest said, "Ruoxue, I understand your intentions. But you need to know that your husband also has a belief that he has been insisting on. ”

"I am a Taoist priest, and a Taoist priest seeks the Great Dao. What is the Avenue? I have asked Master many times. Master said, there are three thousand avenues, and everyone asks for something different. But although there are 3,000 avenues, there are very few that can prove the avenues since ancient times. Therefore, the avenue cannot be forced. I ask again, since the avenue cannot be forced, then what should I do? My master gave three words, follow your heart. ”

"Ruoxue, the so-called heart, is not a red dust, regardless of the interests and harms, not counting gains and losses, the innate goodness in the heart of people. Therefore I act, but I seek to be in accordance with my heart. If I go against my heart, I will lose my way, and I will be uncomfortable, unhappy, and uneasy. ”

"Ruoxue, this time I'm not going to save Mako, I'm following the will of God. Providence let me come to Lizhou at this time, and there must be its arrangement. At the same time, I am also following my heart, seeking my own way, seeking liberation for myself. Do you understand? ”

Xu Ruoxue nodded, and shook her head again: "Husband, I seem to understand, but I don't seem to understand." But I at least know that my husband is going to go. Okay, I'll go with my husband. You and I are husband and wife, life and death are always together. ”

The little Taoist priest looked at her fixedly and nodded: "Okay, since you insist, I naturally won't go against your will." You and I are husband and wife, life and death are always together. If there is really misfortune, it is just that we will be husband and wife in the next life! ”

The plan has been decided, and the two of them will return to Lizhou at the moment!
