I couldn't get the sword, so I had to give up. For the rest of the next few days, I still went to Master's house every day to sit down and seize the opportunity to ask him more about his experience in cultivation and Yin food making, so that it would not be easy to find someone to ask after returning to Yin City.

In addition to practicing and explaining as usual, I also occasionally talked to Master about some things I encountered in Yin City, including what Xiaomu told me about the epidemic in Yazhou City recently.

Unexpectedly, Master was very interested in this, and asked me about the situation one after another. I didn't dare to hide it, and basically repeated all the words of the mustache.

After hearing this, the master pondered for a long time before he suddenly said, "These ghost cultivators have always been low-key and secretive, but this change has made a big splash, which is very unusual!" ”

"Master, what do you mean......"

"This reminds me of another old story. You haven't forgotten it, have you? Master looked at me with a serious expression.

After Master's reminder, I finally connected the two things at this time, and I couldn't help but gasp: "Master, are you saying that this incident is related to the destruction of the mass grave ghost market seven years ago?" ”

Master nodded silently.

After the mass grave was destroyed, although the master has been haunting and searching everywhere, there has been no definite result. The tragedy of that year has always been vivid to me, and all the old visitors to the ghost market such as Liu Gong and Liu Po are like neighbors who watched me grow up, and I also feel that I have the responsibility to investigate this matter and avenge them!

"In that case, Master, then I'll go to Yazhou!" I immediately made up my mind to go to the mustache tomorrow.

"You can call He Liping now," the master said, "If he doesn't object, I'll go with you!" ”

Master also wants to go out of the mountain again? It seems that he is unwilling not to investigate this matter!

I agreed, and immediately took out my mobile phone to call the mustache and tell him the decision of our master and apprentice.

The mustache was naturally very happy, and said, "If Master Feng can personally go out, those ghost cultivators will definitely be able to catch them!" ”

After making contact, without further ado, Master and I packed our bags and drove to Yazhou City overnight. When we got there, Mustache wanted to arrange for us to stay in the same hotel as him, but Master refused.

Although it is a cooperation to catch ghosts, Dao Xiu and Yin Xiu are not fellow Daoists after all, and the relationship is not very good, so it will always be a little awkward to get too close. What's more, my master is an old antique, and he has always been very concerned about such subtle details. He took the initiative to join forces with Dao Xiu this time, which was already an unprecedented thing!

So, I had to find another small hotel nearby to stay in first. The mustache told me that he had already gotten angry with the people of the Maoshan Daoist Association, and that they had agreed to let us join the operation. But tonight is too late, so I can only wait for the next morning to arrange a meeting with everyone, and discuss the next plan by the way.

Nothing was said all night. The next day, early in the morning, Master and I went to the hotel where the mustaches and the others were staying to attend a secret meeting.

The Taoist sect is really rich!

This hotel is actually a five-star hotel, close to the mountains and the sea, elegant and chic, a typical European resort hotel. I estimate that the room rate of this kind of hotel will be at least a thousand yuan a night, right? There are so many people in their group, and they have lived here for a year!

However, when the mustache came out to greet us, he made a "clarification". It turned out that the largest local Taoist sect, the "Nanshan School", had a stake in this hotel, so they arranged to live in it through internal relations, and they didn't need to spend money.

But I still rolled my eyes: even half of the hotel is yours, isn't that called wealth?

Alas, in comparison, these yin cultivators are like dirt buns in the countryside, with neither money nor image!

That's right, the earth bun is talking about my master's current dress. He was still wearing old clothes, carrying his old backpack, and stepping on a pair of black cloth shoes on his feet, wasn't he just a hillbilly who had just entered the city?

However, the mustache was still polite and enthusiastic about this "hillbilly". He knows my master's skills, and it is definitely a surprise that he can invite my master to come.

The mustache took us directly to a small hidden conference room, where there were already a dozen people, most of them middle-aged people in their forties and fifties, and a few with gray hair and beards. Obviously, the people who can sit here are all important people who have heads and faces in the Quang Nam Dao cultivation circle.

"Let me introduce you first, this is Master Feng Daozhang Feng from Nanting County! Standing next to him is Master Feng's senior apprentice: Zhai Zisheng, Little Master Zhai! ”

The mustache began to introduce the two of us. But I felt very awkward that he called me "Little Master Zhai", as if he was addressing a little monk.

The mustache went on to introduce us to the Dao cultivators sitting opposite, and sure enough, they were all high-level leaders such as the heads, hall masters, and elders of the various Dao cultivation sects. The mustache can have a place in this kind of meeting, and he can definitely be regarded as a young talent and backbone.

However, although my master is quite famous in the Yin cultivation circle, not many people in the Dao cultivation circle know about him. Therefore, the attitude of the heads and hall masters on the other side was still a little indifferent, just nodding their heads, and they didn't even raise their buttocks.

Only a fat old man in blue stood up and said loudly: "Senior Master Feng once had the experience of cooperating with our hosta sect, and he has nothing to say about cultivation, knowledge, and behavior. He was invited to come this time to help us find a way to deal with ghost cultivation and strive to break through the current passive situation! ”

I paid special attention to the mustache when he was making an introduction. He is the hall master of the Guangnan Hall of the Jade Hairpin Gate: Gong Hetai!

After all, Master and I were recommended by the hosta gate after all, and he will definitely give this face. Even, how the two of us behave after coming this time will be directly related to the prestige of the hosta gate in the Maoshan Taoist Association. If we can turn the tide, we can make their faces shine; And if you don't do anything, it will also make them lose face.

Therefore, after Gong Hetai took the lead in expressing his welcome on behalf of the hosta gate, Elder Lu, who we had dealt with, also opened his mouth to echo. However, the enthusiasm of the high-level leaders of other sects seems to be very ordinary, and it seems that the Tao here is not so simple!

"Long admiration! Long admiration! ”

On the other side, a tall and thin man in a dark green Tai Chi suit suddenly stood up, and he had been introduced by the mustache before, and he was the head of the Xuanqing Sect, one of the major sects of provincial city Dao cultivation: Jiang Xuan. He arched his hand slightly, and then asked sharply, "Dare to ask what sect Master Feng is from?" ”

My master also returned the salute and replied, "Return to the Mountain Sect!" ”

"Returning to the Mountain?" The corners of Jiang Xuan's mouth curled, and he said with a smile: "Please forgive Jiang for being lonely and unheard, I really haven't heard of the name of your faction!" ”

This guy is not good!

Jiang Xuan is the head of the Xuanqing Gate, and he has always been in a proper competition with the hosta gate in the provincial capital. He may not be very convenient to come forward and directly fight with the hosta gate, but this time it seems that he wants to use the topic to play a role, so that the hosta door will not come to the stage. After all, the name of the "Guishan Sect" is not even as "familiar" as the miscellaneous Yin Cultivation Sects in the provincial capital.

Although the high-level leaders of the other sects did not laugh out loud, they all sneered at a glance.

Seeing this, I can't help but feel angry: our master and apprentice came this time, and they were nominally invited by the Maoshan Dao Association, and their original intention was to help with good intentions, but these guys only use us as tools for power struggle!

However, my master has seen so much more of the world than I do. I saw him smile, neither humble nor arrogant: "We Yin cultivators, speaking of which, we should beg for food in the underworld, and there are few people who come out and walk around in the yang world, and it is normal for Master Jiang to never hear of the 'Guishan Sect'!" ”

"Actually, before I came to Yazhou, in addition to having some encounters with the Taoist friends of the hosta gate, I had never heard of any 'Xuanqing Gate' and other names. Here, I also ask you to forgive me for being rude and rude, and I can't speak, don't blame me! Don't blame! ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of more than a dozen Taoist cultivators on the opposite side changed suddenly. Although it was only Jiang Xuan's hair that was difficult, when the master said this, he actually belittled the other Dao Sects except the Hosta Gate.

And Jiang Xuan was directly slapped by the master, neither soft nor hard, and his face turned even darker. He was about to have a seizure, but an old man in a robe next to him reached out and patted him on the shoulder, motioning for him to sit down first.

The old man in the Taoist robe also stood up and arched his hand towards my master, and introduced himself again: "Poor Dao Xiang Confucian, the head of the local sect 'Nanshan School' in Yazhou, is not only elected by all Taoist friends, but also the president of the Guangnan Branch of the Maoshan Taoist Association. Well, since Master Feng has come from afar, we are naturally welcome! But I think at this time, everyone should stop wasting time and chatting, and get straight to the point! ”

It seems that this Xiang Ru is the real "talker" among so many Taoist cultivators. He is quite deep in the city government and has enough self-cultivation, so he took the initiative to eliminate the embarrassing atmosphere and change the topic. Moreover, the head of the Nanshan faction? Isn't that one of the majority shareholders of this five-star hotel?

Sure enough, it's a real person who doesn't show up!

After saying this, he waved his hand behind him. Immediately, two younger disciples came over with a movable blackboard and placed it in the middle for everyone to see. On the blackboard is a map of Yazhou City, which is the largest one.

Most of the middle and left sides of the map are unusual, except for the right half of the map, which is filled with various colored pins, or twenty or thirty. There are red, yellow, and black pushpins, and I don't know what they mean?
