Taihe Mountain.

Jiuxiao Shangqing Palace is located in the first peak of Taihe Mountain, Shenxiao Peak, Shenxiao Peak is stacked with mountains, winding paths, shocking springs and flying mountains, apes and cranes chanting. Even in the hot summer, the mountains are still cool. There are 2,100 stone steps on the way up the mountain, and the Taoist boy who leads the way is holding a whisk in his hand, and his steps are light, and he climbs the steps. Walking to the five hundred steps, Dao Tong quietly turned around to look, but saw Zhao Chou following him unhurriedly, except for the slight sweat on his forehead, there was no discoloration. Dao Tong was slightly surprised, but he didn't say anything, and only quietly raised his steps. When he walked to the 1,000th step and looked back, Zhao Chou was still walking calmly behind him. Dao Tong took a light breath of energy, and the pace of his feet was two points faster. Walking to the 1,500 steps, Zhao Chou still followed him with a calm expression, and the distance was two steps behind him from beginning to end, and it had never changed. Dao Tong restrained his expression, led him to the last road at normal speed, and when he arrived in front of the Sanqing Palace, Dao Tong stopped, turned two steps back, bowed and said, "Lord Zhao, Xiaodao can only bring you here." ”

Zhao Chou nodded goodbye to Dao Tong, and walked into the Sanqing Hall with his hands behind his back.

Sanqing Hall enshrined the statue of Sanqing and the twelve golden immortals of Sanqing disciples, Zhao Chou took three sandalwood incense and lit it, inserted it in the big incense burner, hugged each other, shook his fist and bowed to the three statues.

A young Taoist priest came in from behind the hall and saluted him.

"This layman, even though I come."

The young Taoist priest led Zhao Chou to the back of the hall, walked dozens of steps, and came to the front of the Taiyuan Treasure Palace.

"The head is waiting for Zhao Jushi in the palace."

Zhao Chou entered the Taiyuan Treasure Palace, and there was an old Taoist sitting in the hall, wrapped in a green robe, with gray hair, and an old face. ”

Zhao Chou found a futon and sat down in front of him, looking stunned, but he just said casually: "The boy who just took me called me 'Lord Zhao', but the young Taoist priest who led me here called me 'Zhao Jushi', dare to ask Daojun, am I 'Lord Zhao' or 'Zhao Jushi'?" ”

"You have to see why you came. If it is a state affair, then you are Lord Zhao, and if it is a legal matter, then you are Zhao Jushi. ”

Zhao Chou's face was self-deprecating, "Ling Hua Yuanjun's words made me embarrassed, I came here this time for both state affairs and legal affairs. ”

The old Taoist is Linghua Daojun, the head of the Shangqing Palace in Jiuxiao, because of his realm of the seven-grade Yuanjun, the people in the Xuanmen also call him Linghua Yuanjun.

"Since Lord Zhao is deep in the world, don't mention this Yuanjun again."

The old Taoist's words can be described as merciless, but Zhao Chou didn't think it was wrong, and there was still a shallow smile on his face.

"What Linghua Daojun said is extremely true, but the world and the Xuanmen have never been opposed, and there are many people in the Xuanmen, so why should the Daojun be obsessed?" Zhao Chou's words were sincere, "Zhao Chou thinks that he has been in the dynasty for ten years, and he is not a minister who has done his best to govern the world, but he has also done a lot of good things for the benefit of the country and the people. If I only rely on my own strength, when will I be able to help the people of the world? ”

"So you gave up your way and went to the filthy court fly camp and the dog camp!" Ling Hua said sharply, waving his hand with the law of frightening wind and thunder, and for a while, there was wind and thunder on the ground in the hall, and a terrifying energy shot towards Zhao Chou.

Zhao Chou turned his toes, drew half a circle in place, quickly pinched the formula with both hands, and read in his mouth:

"Heaven and Earth Xuanzong, Ten Thousand Qi Benning. Extensive cultivation of ten thousand calamities, prove my supernatural powers. Inside and outside the Three Realms, only the Tao is the only one. Heaven and earth are clear, listen to my orders. The wind rests and thunders, and gives me tranquility. Haste as a law! Break! ”

The wind and thunder energy exploded in the hall and dissipated suddenly.

"You haven't forgotten all about your old skills." Seeing that Zhao Chou quickly dissolved his wind and thunder trick, Ling Hua sneered.

"Linghua Daojun," Zhao Chou wiped the sweat on his forehead and smiled bitterly, "Yesterday's various things are like yesterday's death, and there is no need to mention the past." Even if I chase fame and fortune in that filthy court, I dare not forget my original intention of helping the world and saving the people, this is my way. ”

"The Tao is different, and they do not conspire with each other." Ling Hua Daojun brushed his sleeves away, "I can't control what you came to ask for this time, you can go to chase Xia Feng and find Ling Xuzi Zhenren." ”

Ling Xuzi sat on the nine-story platform, Chasing Xia Peak is the second highest peak of Taihe Mountain, and the nine-story platform is located on the top of Chasing Xia Peak. The clouds and mist under the feet, the peaks and peaks are continuous, the vegetation is flourishing, the Burma Miao is deep, and the vitality of heaven and earth gathers here, going back and forth, it is actually an extremely suitable place for cultivation.

Yun Fan was waiting to practice his sword under the stage, but Ling Xuzi opened his eyes at some point, and said to Yun Fan, "There is a guest visiting." ”

Yun Fan put away his sword and was about to go to greet someone, but he overheard Ling Xuzi ask, "Where is Nian Chu at this time?" ”

"The little junior sister seems to have realized something recently, and she is in retreat."

Ling Xuzi nodded and didn't speak again.

When Zhao Chou came, Ling Xuzi was already waiting in the Bao Xuan Palace, although Ling Xuzi was only in the realm of Yuanjun, but the Tao was profound, and he had a more thorough understanding of the way of heaven, and he had caused the resonance of heaven and earth when he was preaching. And there are only five people who have been called this throughout the ages.

Zhao Chou naturally didn't dare to snub Ling Xuzi, and immediately bowed respectfully, "Ling Xuzi is a real person." ”

"Zhao Chou came here this time to ask a real person to solve his doubts." Zhao Chou directly explained his intentions.

"Eight years ago, Qin Tianjian observed an anomalous celestial phenomenon." Zhao Chou frowned slightly, "The two fires are gorgeous, the red light is full of sky, the purple star is faint, and the life star is displaced." Duan Tianshi asserted that the Demon Star of the Disaster World came to the world and would cause chaos in the world. The Holy Lord sent people to search for many years, but there was no trace of the demon star. ”

Zhao Chou sighed, "In recent years, the wind and rain have been smooth, and the disasters that have occurred in previous years have been much smaller, and there is no sign of troubled times. Who would have thought that some time ago, the sun had night terrors, and I was restless, and I remembered the bad omen many years ago, so I was sent to ask a real person for guidance. ”

Ling Xuzi gently twisted the dust, his eyes slightly closed, "According to legend, in ancient times, there were people who sought to become immortals, and they picked fairy mushrooms to use as medicine. Immortal Zhi Lingcao is often guarded by companion fierce beasts. The immortal mushroom spirit grass can grow into a seven-point fierce beast guarding skill, and the fierce beast path can be refined also has the power of the immortal mushroom spirit grass to draw the vitality of heaven and earth. It is born with evil and auspicious, if there is a demon star in the world, there is a lucky star to save the world, and the saint does not need to worry. ”

Zhao Chou got Ling Xuzi's specious reply, thinking that he could be regarded as able to deal with the emperor. He can leave this place tomorrow, after all, he is nominally patrolling the imperial history, and it is better to complete the inspection of the Jiangnan area as soon as possible.

Yun Fan sent Zhao Chou away, and Ling Xuzi returned to the nine-story platform, standing with his hands in his hands, the mountain wind was slightly sick, and his robe was hunting.

Since seeing Zhao Chouqi, Yunfan has a lot of things to ask, "Senior Brother Zhao is ...... now"

Ling Xuzi interrupted him, "He has cut off his fate with my Jiuxiao Shangqing Palace, you don't want to be a senior brother to him anymore." ”

Yun Fan thought of the old state of the head of the house now, and sighed.

Yun Fan asked again, "...... little junior sister?"

Ling Xuzi interrupted him again, "The time has not yet come. ”

Yun Fan was still frowning, full of questions, but Ling Xuzi had no intention of explaining to him, only waved his hand and let him retreat.

Ling Xuzi stood outstanding, facing north, which was the direction of the capital.

"Two star twins, pulling each other. When two stars are entangled, there will be an injury. Divide and place, you can seek a future. Ling Xuzi muttered to himself, and sighed again, "The time has not yet come......"
