It's such a coincidence, just now Brother Dog was still explaining to the little carpenter what is called the "Dragon Vein Guardian" family, and at this moment, when the little carpenter talked about what happened to him, Brother Dog next to him immediately reacted.

He suspected that these guys from the former Qing Dynasty Restoration Society were very likely to be members of the former Qing Dragon Vein Guardian Clan.

At least there is a connection.

And their Wang family, and the dragon vein guardian clan of the former Qing Dynasty, are absolute enemies.

This grudge can even be traced back to the ancestors, when the Qing Dynasty was a while, the enemy was strong, they were like wild dogs, hiding everywhere, for fear of being targeted, at least the body and soul will be destroyed, and the whole clan will be wiped out.

Now that the Republic of China is gone, the Qing Dynasty is gone, and those remnants and dogs should also pay a little interest for the debts owed back then.

Beating the water dog, his dog brother is the most fond of doing it.

Several people reached an agreement, and Li Mengsheng and others also felt that with Wang Baishan, a powerful man, they had enough confidence, and in the early investigation stage, there was no need to go back to the mountain to find someone, so they agreed.

Then Li Mengsheng found Shang Zhengtong and said that he had to leave first if he had something, leaving those fellow disciples here to help and be responsible for the aftermath.

Although Shang Zhengtong tried his best to keep them, he saw that they had made up their minds, so he didn't say more.

He was actively communicating with the girl named Hai Ji at the moment, and seeing the girl's smiling face, the little carpenter knew that Shang Zhengtong obviously didn't have time to deal with them.

On the contrary, Hai Ji was a little surprised by the departure of Li Mengsheng and others, asked a few words, and specially left a mailing address, saying that when there was a chance, he would definitely come to the door to express his gratitude.

Li Mengsheng naturally left the address of the dyeing workshop.

Li Mengsheng, Xiao Mingyuan, Xiao Carpenter and Wang Baishan left Qixia Mountain and turned to Jinling.

That Zhuangzi is at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain in Jinling, in the past, it seemed to be a nobleman's farm, but now in the Republic of China, everything has changed dramatically, but it still looks like a general.

There are long earthen walls on the outside, and the buildings on the inside are also scattered, forming a small gathering area.

The little carpenter is not familiar with this area, and the person who led the way was Xiao Mingyuan.

He brought a few people to the vicinity of Zhuangzi, and after letting the little carpenter determine the place, he said: "I later found the shopkeeper to learn about Liangzhuang, which used to be the personal Zhuangzi of Xiang Rong, the head of the Nanjing camp in the former Qing Dynasty, and later the Republic of China, left a lot of Eight Banners here, taking root here, it is said that there are many Manchu masters, and they are ...... here."

Li Mengsheng said: "Is there any more famous? ”

Xiao Mingyuan smiled and said: "That's what the shopkeeper said, you also know that the Eight Banners at that time were already rotten, where are there still many talents when they entered the customs?" The people Xiao Gan met are estimated to have come from Beiping City, as for the Zhuangzi, don't say I can't remember the name, even if you say it, you don't want to hear it. ”

He was born in Maoshan and had his own arrogance, and a few people walked around the Zhuangzi, and decided to go in to take a look and touch each other's details.

This time, the little carpenter led the way, climbed over the wall, entered the Zhuangzi, and touched all the way to the workshop where he used to work.

As a result, they cautiously touched it, and not only did they not encounter the slightest obstacle along the way, but they also saw none of the open and secret sentinels, and even the original shed was gone.

There was an open space right there, and if it weren't for some scrap wood and traces on the ground, the little carpenter would have thought he was in the wrong place.

What's going on?

The little carpenter was a little dazed, and couldn't help but climb to the roof nearby, looked left and right, and made sure that this was the place where he had fled everywhere before, and even found the blood stains left on the ground, so he turned around and said to several people: "It seems that he has withdrawn ......"

Li Mengsheng said: "Let's look around, maybe there will be a discovery." ”

So a few people began to look around without exposing themselves, and found that although there were people in the Zhuangzi, they were all ordinary people who did not have any cultivation.

Not only that, but these people are confused, and they know at a glance that they don't know things.

The little carpenter looked up, but found no one who seemed to know the inside story, and was a little distraught.

He really wanted to find someone to ask where the previous gang had gone, but he was afraid that something would go wrong and he finally held back.

He came back to find a few others and asked what to do next.

Li Mengsheng was calmer and said in a low voice: "Those people are very careful." ”

Wang Baishan seemed calm, not only did not panic, but said very happily: "According to Brother Gan'er's description, the strength of those people is really strong, but they ran away because of this little thing, and even such an old nest was abandoned, which can only show a little ......."

He deliberately paused and didn't say anything, but Xiao Mingyuan glanced at him and said directly: "Those people, there must be something very important to do, otherwise they wouldn't be so cautious." ”

Wang Baishan clapped his hands and said that he was right.

Li Mengsheng touched his nose, and then asked, "If that's the case, what should we do?" ”

Wang Baishan stretched, and then asked the little carpenter, "What do you think?" ”

The little carpenter said: "What I want to do most at the moment is to find out the enemies of the teacher, Zhang Qiming and Wu Banxian, and take revenge on the teacher, no matter where they run, I will not give up." ”

Wang Baishan put his arm around his shoulders and said, "I just like a persistent man like you, don't worry, I will definitely help you to the end." ”

Xiao Mingyuan pouted, and then said, "Come on, you just want to make trouble with those people, right?" ”

Wang Baishan grinned and said that I love to do this thing.

Xiao Mingyuan turned his head and looked at Li Mengsheng.

Obviously, this unsmiling young Taoist priest is the one who really has the right to speak on Maoshan Mountain.

Li Mengsheng sniffed, and then said: "I'm here, I smell some very strange smells, although I don't know what they are, but I always feel a little uncomfortable, and Jiulong pulls the coffin, if such a fierce situation is carried down, it will definitely be a big mess." Maoshan naturally has to take care of this matter......"

After he finalized the matter, he did not immediately go to find someone to inquire, but first left Zhuangzi with a few people, and then returned to the dyeing workshop in Jinling City.

Since those people are so sensitive, they can't reveal their whereabouts and make them too panicked.

If you scare people out of the way, things will get troublesome.

Li Mengsheng wrote a few notes and asked someone to take them out.

By the end of the evening, seven or eight people had come to the courtyard, including pot-bellied merchants, merchants and peddlers walking the streets, rustic-looking peasants, and even a doctor who treated people.

These people didn't know where they came from, so they all went into the room for a meeting.

The little carpenter did not come forward, but chatted with Wang Baishan in the courtyard, and then saw that they had stayed for about a quarter of an hour, and then left.

Wang Baishan saw that Xiao Mingyuan came back after sending people away, so he asked if it was reliable.

Xiao Mingyuan smiled and said, "Wait for the news." ”

Wang Baishan was skeptical, but he didn't refute it, and a few people had dinner together in the evening.

The shopkeeper made them a pot of sheep and scorpions, and Li Mengsheng left because he was a vegetarian and ate two mouthfuls of green vegetables with him, which made Wang Baishan very dissatisfied, he said I don't know about you monks and Taoists, all of them say that they are devoted to cultivation, but they still drink wine and eat meat? I've seen monks smoking big cigarettes in the northeast......

Xiao Mingyuan smiled, and said actually, there are many sects of Taoism, some are true and some are Zhengyi, the latter is not taboo about meat, and can marry a wife and have children - but he has been a vegetarian since he was a child, and he is just used to it.

Wang Baishan drank too much wine and asked about the situation of Maoshan again.

If this matter was changed to a little carpenter, he would naturally not ask more, after all, this matter involves the privacy of the sect, but Wang Baishan has a straightforward temperament, and he will say it directly when he has something in his head, and Xiao Mingyuan does not hide too much.

He told Wang Baishan and the little carpenter that Maoshan escaped from the world, and there was a reason - Taoism has developed since the founding of Lao Tzu, and there are many schools, but at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the aura of heaven and earth has been gradually exhausted, and the practice of turning immortals has become a legend, fortunately, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty have adopted a respectful attitude towards Taoism, so it has developed rapidly, secularization and folkization, and all kinds of palaces and ancestral temples are scattered in the streets and alleys of towns and villages; However, in the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong declared Tibetan Buddhism as the state religion, and adopted a strict policy of prevention and suppression of Taoism, resulting in the closure of most sects, and even after the Opium War, the country was backward and weakened, and the invasion of Western ideology was even more ......

In such a context, Maoshan naturally will not openly appear and confront secular forces, but live in seclusion in the mountains to practice.

In fact, not only Maoshan Mountain, but also many famous Taoist mountains, sects and sects are in a secluded attitude, and only a few disciples of the mountain sect only go down the mountain to walk in order to practice in the world.

The little carpenter couldn't help but talk about the situation of Qingcheng Mountain in the southwest, Xiao Mingyuan listened to it, and couldn't help but laugh and said: "The country of abundance, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, so it's normal." ”

A few people sighed while drinking, and many words were not elaborated one by one.

After drinking and eating, Xiao Mingyuan went back to the room to rest, while Wang Baishan came to the little carpenter's room and said to the little carpenter: "Come on, please come out, I'll help you take a look." ”

The little carpenter hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to leave this matter to the little black dragon to decide.

He closed his eyes and communicated silently, and a few seconds later, his chest was filled with light, and then the delicate little black dragon appeared.

When Wang Baishan saw it, he couldn't help shouting: ", it's so thick......."
