Xu Lai didn't talk nonsense, put the little girl on his back and left, and walked up the steps along the mountain road.

After a while, I saw a huge group of Taoist temples on the top of the mountain, rising and falling in the verdant green.

"It's magnificent!" Zhao Xiaomin lay on Xu Lai's back and couldn't help cheering.

"Style." Xu Lai smiled, quickened his pace, and soon saw the inner mountain gate of the Heavenly Master's Mansion.

When I got closer, I saw two people flashing out of the mountain gate.

"This place is not open to tourists, please stop here." A fat man stalked his neck and said in an official voice.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Another thin man slapped him on the neck, and ran up with a dazzled smile and shouted, "Zhangjiao, why are you here?" ”

The man was stunned by him, his eyes widened and he took a closer look, and immediately rushed over: "Ouch, it's you, look at my stinky eyes!" ”

The two welcomed Xu Lai to the gate of the mountain, grinning, and they were overjoyed.

Zhao Xiaomin was lying on Xu Lai's back, and was a little shy by the two of them, so he hurriedly got off the ground.

"Hello two brothers." The little girl screamed sweetly.

"Little sister is so good!" The two rejoiced. Zhao Xiaomin is beautiful and well-behaved, with a sweet mouth, and is naturally the most likable.

"Why are you two guarding the mountain gate again?" Xu Lai asked with a smile.

This fat man and the thin man are both disciples of Longhu Mountain, everyone calls him Da Zhuang, and the thin man is called Mu Er, both of them belong to the bottom disciples of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, but they are very familiar with Xu Lai.

Da Zhuang said with a bitter face: "We don't know, and we don't know what the top is thinking, let us guard it every day." ”

Mu Er immediately gave him a slap, and said with a smile: "It's good to guard the mountain gate, we are happy to guard it, and we are idle." ”

Xu glanced at the two of them and said with a smile: "Is it because of me?" ”

"Hey, what do you say, how is it possible! It's all this dead fat man, who is lazy to eat, and has a lot of food, which makes the top unhappy, so he throws us here! Mu Er said.

"How can I ......" Da Zhuang said aggrievedly, only to be slapped back by Mu Er.

Xu Lai smiled, but he knew in his heart that Da Zhuang and Mu Er must have been implicated by him before they were sent here.

"By the way, Sect Leader, why do you have time to come back today, we all want to kill you!" Mu Ermei said with a smile.

"It's still called a master, it's not been for a long time." Xu Lai said with a smile.

"No matter what others say, you will always be our master!" This time, Mu Er hadn't opened his mouth yet, but Da Zhuang shouted first.

"Well said!" Mu Er was quite satisfied with the dead fat man's performance this time, "Boss, let's go back and have a look?" ”

"Okay." Xu said.

Mu Er and Da Zhuang immediately happily opened the way in front of them, leading Xu Lai and Zhao Xiaomin to climb up the mountain road.

After a short time, he entered the monastery.

"Why did you two run over, and you are not afraid of ......" A few disciples of the Heavenly Master's Mansion came over in the Dao Academy, and when they saw Da Zhuang and Mu Er coming up, they joked, but when they saw Xu Lai and Zhao Xiaomin following behind, they were stunned for a moment, "Zhangjiao, you are back!" ”

Several disciples immediately surrounded him.

"Master, why haven't you come to see it for so long?"

"yes, it's been a long time since I've seen the master!"

There was a burst of gossip.

"This little sister is so cute, it's your daughter, right?" A young female disciple decisively teased Xu Lai.

The crowd laughed.

During Xu Lai's tenure at the helm of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, he had always been quite strict when taking care of the affairs of the Mansion, even if he was an old elder like Bai Zhijing, if he made a mistake, he would be trained to the point that he couldn't raise his head.

But when he usually has nothing to do, he mingles with some young disciples of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and he doesn't have any fights, and he often explains some spell theories to everyone, so he is very popular with young disciples.

When everyone was making a noise, they heard a cold shout: "What are you yelling for?" ”

The disciples were taken aback and said in a low voice, "Elder Lu You is here!" "Busy holding his breath.

At this time, a group of people walked out of the Shangqing Palace, led by a tall person, with thick eyebrows and a high nose, in his fifties, with a calm face, it was Elder Lu You.

When he saw Xu Lai in the crowd, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "Xu Zhangjiao? ”

The group of disciples behind him also had different expressions, some surprised, some doubtful, and some frowned.

"Elder Lu." Xu Lai said with a smile.

Lu You was stunned for a while, frowned, and said, "Why is Xu Zhangjiao here?" ”

"Bring the children to travel and come back by the way." Xu said.

Lu You's thick brows were twisted together, you come here for a trip, and then visit your relatives by the way, why does this sound so unbelievable?

At this moment, a large group of people walked out of the Shangqing Palace.

"Teach." Lu You bowed slightly towards the comer.

The person who came here had a cold face, his slender eyebrows flew obliquely into his temples, and he looked like a sharp sword out of the sheath, with a sharp edge, it was Zhang Long, who was the head of the Heavenly Master's Mansion at the time.

He was followed by his younger brother Zhang Hu, as well as several elders, as well as a group of disciples.

At this time, there were frequent visions in various places, and most of the manpower of the Heavenly Master's Mansion was scattered, and there were not many people still on the mountain now.

"What are you doing here?" One of the elders with a withered face pointed at Xu Lai and scolded sharply.

"Elder Kong, it's been a long time since I've seen my temper and I'm still so anxious." Xu Lai said with a smile.

This Elder Kong, whose full name is Kong Xuan, when Zhang Long led people to force the palace that day, this Kong Xuan also pointed at Xu Lai's nose and scolded him.

Kong Xuan snorted coldly, and was about to say more, when he saw Zhang Long wave his hand and stop him.

"Dean Xu, what are you doing in Longhu Mountain?" Zhang Long asked in a cold voice.

"Tourism." Xu Lai popped out two words.

Zhang Long's eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "When you left Longhu Mountain that day, you swore a heavy oath that you would never set foot on Longhu Mountain again!" ”

"Oh, it seems like that's the case." Xu Lai thought for a while and said, "Isn't it okay to travel?" ”

"What do you say?" Zhang Long squeezed a sentence out from between his teeth.

"Then I regret it, okay?" Xu said.

Zhang Long and others really opened their eyes this time. Paralysed, you have also been a teacher, right? You can eat it back if you swear it? Does Nima still have some minimum quality?

For a while, he was made silent before going to the Qing Palace.

"What the hell do you want to do?" Zhang Long forcibly endured the anger and said.

Xu Lai said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing, just come over for a trip, and then come back to see everyone by the way." ”

Zhang Long and the others had a cold face, you continue to talk, you continue to talk, who the fuck will believe this kind of statement?

"Of course, I also want to borrow a marrow washing pool for use." Xu Lai rubbed his hands and said.

"Don't even think about it!" Zhang Long flatly refused.

Kong Xuan took a step forward, pointed at Xu Lai and said sharply: "Dean Xu, you'd better know your own identity, now that you are no longer the head of our Heavenly Master's Mansion, why do you use the marrow washing pool!" ”

"So I discussed with Sect Zhang, Elder Kong, what are you anxious about?" Xu said.

"Not negotiable!" Kong Xuan waved his hand.

Zhang Long said coldly: "Dean Xu, you'd better leave now, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”

Xu Lai smiled and did not speak.

"Zhang Hu, you go and ask Dean Xu for advice." Zhang Longdao.

As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion in front of the Shangqing Palace.

Zhang Hu was a recognized magic genius in the Heavenly Master's Mansion in addition to Zhang Long's Sect, and when Xu Zhangjiao was still in office, some people often compared Zhang Hu with Xu Zhangjiao.

It's just that although Xu Zhangjiao has a set of spell theories, he has never actually done anything with anyone, so most people think that Xu Zhangjiao's theoretical level is absolutely superb, but if it is actual combat, it is estimated that it is a little reluctant, otherwise why hasn't anyone seen him do it in person in the past five years?

At this time, listening to Zhang Longzhang's teaching, let Zhang Hu ask Xu Zhangjiao for advice, and suddenly all the young disciples were boiling.

However, most people, including Da Zhuang and Mu Er and others, were still worried about Xu Lai, after all, how high Zhang Hu's spell level was, they knew best.

Even if it was most of the elders on Dragon Tiger Mountain, I am afraid they would not be Zhang Long's opponents.

Although everyone has different ideas, everyone is full of expectations for this competition.

One is that I can finally see Xu Zhangjiao's move with my own eyes to see what his actual combat level is.

The second is that for many years, there has been a debate about who has a higher level, Xu Zhangjiao or Zhang Hu, and this debate is about to have a result.

So the vast majority of people are apprehensive at the same time, but they are quite looking forward to it.

It's just that everyone waited for a long time, but they didn't see Zhang Hu come forward.

It is said that with Zhang Hu's temperament, he should have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and he should rush forward impatiently at this time, right?

The crowd was puzzled.

"That's not good, is it?" Zhang Hu finally spoke.

For a while, everyone felt that the wind was strong and they didn't hear clearly.

"Dean Xu is tourism, so there's no need to do it, right?" Zhang Hu continued.

Everyone was confused, and even his brother Zhang Long looked at him in surprise.

Is this still Zhang Hu? Is this like what Zhang Hu can say?

"Dean Xu is not from our Heavenly Master Mansion for a long time, Zhang Hu, you don't have to worry, go ahead." Kong Xuan said.

"I don't think that's really good." Zhang Hu insisted on refusing, "Although Dean Xu is not from our Longhu Mountain, he is a guest from afar, and it is not good to use his hands and feet." ”

The young disciples were simply impressed by this tiger when they heard this. When did this man become so sensible? It's not the same person!

Although Kong Xuan was also a little stunned, he knew Zhang Hu's temper very well, and with his temperament, it was impossible to let go of this good opportunity to show his majesty.

So he said: "Dean Xu's trespassing on Longhu Mountain is not a distant guest at all, so you don't have to worry about it at all!" ”

"If you can't say it's okay, you can't do it, you have to go yourself!" Zhang Hu said angrily, and directly retreated to the crowd and turned his head to look at the scenery.

At this time, not to mention other people, even Zhang Long was stunned.
