In an alley not far from the street facing Baicaotang, there is an inconspicuous house.

In the room of the house, the faint candlelight shone on Li Mingtang's body, shrouded in a layer of dim light, the original tall and burly figure, but the background was a little clumsy, he sat cross-legged on the ground and silently chewed rice, occasionally stretched out his chopsticks, and put the two dishes in front of him that had never been touched into the empty bowl opposite, this habit - he lasted for more than ten years.

He was married, and had a wife who was not beautiful but virtuous, and he was twenty-two years old at that time, which was a high-spirited age.

In the second year after marriage, his wife became pregnant with a baby girl, and at that time, he served in the monastic department of the Yin-Yang Sect, and worked hard in this special institution in charge of sea hunting and purging cultivators, and when he was busy, he only came back once every few months, until he came back once and found that he had a daughter, but his wife was gone...... Well, this is a very common phenomenon, in this world, the chance of dystocia after the combination of ordinary people and practitioners is much higher than that of ordinary pregnant women, and his wife is an ordinary person who does not know anything about cultivation.

Holding the baby girl handed over by the nurse, this man who walked on the tip of the knife without changing his face had a sour nose and cried like a child......

After the first seven, he pushed off the errand of the Monks' Department and transferred to the more moderate Inspectorate, he only wanted to compensate his daughter well, hoping that she would have a stable life, and this kind of life lasted until four years ago, when a group of fleeing enemies from his time in the Monks Department came to him, and after that, everything ceased to exist......

In the previous world, Li Mingtang's life was probably a little muddy, until one day, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have become another stranger.

probably felt that he couldn't let go like this, so when the Yin-Yang Sect and the Desolate Ancient Dojo attacked Baiyun City, he also began to leave his hometown and came to this city that he had never set foot in, which means that there may not be no escape in it, and later, his deceased wife's niece Gong Xiu and maid Gong Meng came to Baiyun City, and came to the door after a few days of rest, which completely changed Li Mingtang's life.

The moment he saw the little girl named Gong Meng, Li Mingtang was slightly stunned, because the little girl who depended on her master, counting her age, she should be the same age as her daughter, and even her appearance was a little similar, as if it was deliberately arranged by God.

In fact, during the period when Ji Shitang opened in Baiyun City, he had been safe and sound, and it may not be the reason why he was irradiated in secret, but from the bottom of his heart, he didn't like Gong Xiu, not that there was anything wrong with this person's quality, but Li Mingtang thought that this person was too eccentric, and he had a strange aura all over his body, and with his years of experience and intuition, he always felt that this person was a little different, especially compared to her experience, it seemed to be a little more dangerous.

However, no matter what special experience the other party had, after all, it is the last relative of his deceased wife, especially the deceased wife is in the same vein as her, and some things can't be erased.

Today's matter, Li Mingtang pondered for a long time, after all, the current Baiyun City is no longer the original Baiyun City, from the Huangquan Passage opened, after the influx of bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods from all walks of life, this city that had been through the war has become no longer divided, and until the Taihe Palace invaded the Nine Shadows, Baiyun City naturally became the transit station of the Taihe Palace.

But such a situation does not mean that Taihe Palace has a strong control over Baiyun City, because since the appearance of the Huangquan Channel, the entire world has been surging, and there are many forces that are pouring into each other, constantly infiltrating Baiyun City, and even within his Yin Yang Sect, there are some people who have contact with external forces, and not many people know that how many people in Baiyun City under the control of Taihe Palace are the eyes of external forces, and all kinds of waves in Baiyun City today are probably the result of Taihe Palace and external forces.

It's just that what role did Gong Xiu play in the changes that occurred? Otherwise, how could those people from the Monk Division go out of their way to hunt her down? Is it really because of the original location of the Hundred Herb Hall?

Li Mingtang has not distinguished one or two of these things, and he is even guessing that the little girl who had a runny nose when she was a child is really the palace show in front of him?

Thinking like this, he seemed to have a thorn in his heart, but he never figured out something, until he came back to his senses and found that the rice in the bowl and the dishes on the table were empty, and then he realized that today was the day he had eaten the most in four years.

After thinking about today's events for a while, Li Mingtang looked up at the sky outside the window, he was going to turn off the lights and rest, but at this time, a sharp knock on the door made him frown, he has been fond of quiet for many years, this habit is known to many people, there is no second person in the house except himself, and he also does not like others to disturb.

"Perhaps, there is some clue to Gong Xiu's whereabouts. ”

With this reason in his heart, he walked out of the room, walked into the courtyard and opened the gate, and saw one of his junior colonels.."Well, what's the matter, I'm in a hurry, but I found Gong Xiu?"

"My lord, Miss Gong has indeed found it!" Xiao Xiao had already been told by Li Mingtang, so he naturally knew the relationship between Li Mingtang and Gong Xiu.

"Where?" Li Mingtang's pupils shrank, "Have you been found by the people of the Monk Division?"

"My lord......" The little school raised his head, arched his hand and said, "A brother saw that palace lady and entered the Wangjiang Tower with the maid!"

"Wangjiang Tower?" Li Mingtang was slightly stunned, but then he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Didn't that Gongxiu know that Wangjiang Tower was the place where Dong Taixuan, the leader of the Yin-Yang Sect, and the Desolate Ancient Dojo resided?

......

......

For Dong Taixuan, today is a special day, not only because this day is his birthday, but also because on this day, he actually met a pair of strange master and servants.

Well, there was a pair of master and servant who did not report and actually trespassed into Wangjiang Tower, interrupting the guests' greetings in the full wedding banquet.

Such a bold and reckless act, naturally some people went to stop it, but the master and servant didn't seem to have stage fright, and named him, wanting to see Dong Taixuan.

After all, he is also the overlord of Daluo Prefecture, especially after Taihe Palace occupies Baiyun City, he is even more polite to him, after all, the situation in Baiyun City still needs to be coordinated by the Yin-Yang Sect, especially the issue of some resource mobilization, the Yin-Yang Sect is the head snake of Daluo Prefecture, so Dong Taixuan's value has also risen.

But the two people who came to the banquet today did not pay any attention to the scolding of them, but went straight through the hall and said to the people above: "Which one is Dong Taixuan, please show up!"

Such straightforward words suddenly made Dong Taixuan slightly stunned, he took a step forward, and said to the woman in green shirt who was the leader: "Under Dong Taixuan, I don't know if Your Excellency is ......"

The woman in the green shirt glanced at Dong Taixuan, as if she was verifying something, and after a slight silence, the woman took out an object...

What the woman took out was a shiny gold coin, which was not much different from the money circulating in the market, but Dong Taixuan, who was originally unimpressed, looked at it, but his face changed slightly, he looked at the golden coin carefully, and then glanced at the woman, and said with a strange expression: "Are you ......?"

"Sect Leader Dong ......" The woman in the green shirt interrupted him and said with a smile, "Does Sect Leader Dong want to talk to the little girl here?"

"Uh...... Come with me!" After a slight silence, Dong Taixuan motioned for the two to enter the inner hall.

He first explained a few words to a few people around him, and then led the two of them into the secret room at the back of the main hall.

Turning around slightly, Dong Tianxuan's face was a little strange.."Girl, where did you find this coin?"

"Why, Sect Leader Dong doesn't recognize it?" the green-shirted woman said with a smile, "As far as I know, the ancestor of Sect Leader Dong seems to have used this coin to create the great cause of the Yin Yang Sect, such an important thing, Sect Leader Dong should not forget!"

What the woman said made it difficult for Dong Taixuan to answer, after all, Dong Taixuan really knew the appearance of this coin, because it was related to the past when his ancestors created the Yin Yang Sect.

Dong Taixuan's ancestor used to be one of the ancient seven realms, the core disciple of the Red Dust Dao, because he had studied the Seven Mystic Classics, Dong Taixuan's ancestor Dong Changsheng broke away from the Red Dust Dao and created a line of Yin and Yang Sect in Daluo Prefecture.

But as the most mysterious Hongchen Dao in the world, how could Hongchen Dao allow his disciples to open a mountain and establish a sect at will? Moreover, with Dong Changsheng's wings back then, I am afraid that he will not be able to compete with Hongchen Dao, so if he can create the Yin-Yang Sect, he must have made some kind of compromise, so that the Hongchen Dao will open up the net.

And this golden coin is a token of Dong Changsheng's compromise, because Hongchen Dao has words first, when one day, someone comes to the Yin-Yang Sect with a golden coin, no matter what this person wants to do, the Yin-Yang Sect is bound to do everything possible to meet one of this person's conditions, and after such a long time, even Dong Taixuan almost forgot about this matter, but this person suddenly appeared in front of him and took out this golden coin.

It is conceivable that Dong Taixuan's mood at this moment is so complex that it is probably difficult to express.

At this moment, he even had an urge to kill people, but when he thought about it carefully, he was forcibly restrained, after all, these two people dared to come to the ordinary door, obviously they had no fear, and now the silenced ruins of the Red Dust Road, he didn't know whether the Red Dust Road had decayed after so many years, or it had become more and more powerful in the precipitation of the years.

Dong Taixuan couldn't determine the situation of Hongchen Dao, and naturally he couldn't resist the strong pressure from Hongchen Dao, so after thinking about it, Dong Taixuan still pursed his lips and asked the woman: "Does the girl know the meaning of this coin?"

"If I don't know, why did I come here?" The woman in the green shirt had a plain and elegant expression, and when she looked at Dong Taixuan, she could almost bring tremendous pressure to people.."Sect Master Dong, I have heard that your Yin Yang Sect seems to have submitted to Taihe Palace?"

The girl seemed biased when she said this. That Dong Taixuan stroked his breath and said thoughtfully: "In this way, Taihe Palace is orthodox in the world, and the gods have been in the Eight Desolations and the Four Seas for tens of thousands of years, and the world is so big, can anyone dare to resist Taihe Palace? Moreover, before the Huangquan Passage was opened, Taihe Palace occupied Baiyun City, and used it as a transit station, even if I was dissatisfied with the Yin-Yang Sect, what could I do? Can I still count on driving the people of Taihe Palace out of Baiyun City?

"I may not have been able to do it before...... "The woman in the green shirt said lightly, "but now, it may not be." ”

"Oh?" seemed to sense the purpose of the green-shirted woman, Dong Taixuan's expression was a little depressed.."Girl, won't you tell me that the current Hongchen Dao has the strength to compete with the Taihe Palace, right?"

This is simply a fantasy, after all, in the ancient seven most powerful ancient times, the seven realms together, may not have the ability to overthrow the Taihe Palace, not to mention the development to the present, the Taihe Palace has become the most powerful existence in the sky and the earth, whether in terms of the number of masters, or in terms of quality, there is no force that can match it, at this point, the Taihe Palace has been in front of the sects in the world, unless there is too much change, there will be no force at all, can shake the deterrent power of the Taihe Palace in the world.

"I know what Sect Leader Dong is thinking. The woman's expression was indifferent, and she said with a smile: "Sect Master Dong must be thinking, my Hongchen Dao is a little self-conscious, and daring to provoke Taihe Palace is tantamount to self-destruction." Glancing at the other party slightly, seeing that the other party did not deny it, she continued: "If it was in the past, even if I accumulated more strength in Hongchen Dao, I may not be able to compete with Taihe Palace, after all, there is no one in the whole world who is sure to win against one or two, but now it is different from the past, most of the five emperors of that person are no longer in this world, and the five elders of the five parties who remain in Taihe Palace are already dead and crippled, so there is no need to worry about it at all." ”

"Girl, are you too arbitrary?" Dong Taixuan frowned, and seemed to be a little sneering at the woman's words, after all, the Taihe Palace, which has developed to the point where it is now, even if it is free from the deterrence of the five emperors of the human emperor, it is already a behemoth that dominates the world, and if you want to compete with this kind of monster, it is definitely not something that can be done overnight, I am afraid that in tens of thousands of years, Dong Taixuan will not think that any force can do it!

"I'm not arbitrary, I naturally have my standards......" The woman looked at Dong Taixuan, narrowed her eyes and said, "Sect Master Dong, if it is, the Hongchen Dao Lord is still alive, you say, what are the chances of winning our dispute with Taihe Palace?"

"Red Dust Dao Master?" Dong Taixuan blinked slightly, as if he was a little stunned.
