Nan Lian settled Shi Zhiyi in a rural courtyard, and left first to meet the Taoist master. From the outside, this courtyard looks extremely dilapidated, as if it has been abandoned for many years, but on the inside, there is a cave, and there are about twenty or thirty people living there, all of whom are members of the Fengtian Dao.

When these people saw Shi Zhiyi wearing a grimace mask, they couldn't help but be a little surprised and curious, but it seemed that because of the regulations, no one dared to come forward to talk to him. Among them, the older ones are about forty or fifty years old, and the older ones are about ten ** years old, but according to Shi Zhiyi's observation, their strength should be extremely average, the younger generation is basically still in the realm of getting rid of dust, and the older ones are only at the level of about the late dawn to the middle of the cold window.

Shi Zhiyi analyzed that Fengtian Dao was able to place his own people in key positions in many gangs under the nose of the eldest prince, which fully proved their strength in intelligence networks, but for some reasons, their strength in terms of force was relatively weak, even Nan Lian, who was one of the Taoist attendants, her strength was only at the level of the middle and late stages of the cold window, and in terms of her age, her qualifications and resources may be very average.

The reason why Nan Lian rushed all the way to Yunkun Mountain to warn him was not only because everyone had the common enemy of the eldest prince, but also because he took a fancy to the strength and decisiveness he showed at this age.

Although Shi Zhiyi covered his appearance with a mask, it is still easy for people with a heart to guess his age from his body shape, speech, etc., this speculation may not be so accurate, but it can be judged that his age should not be very old, at most not more than twenty-seven or eighteen years old. Being able to show at least the strength of the middle of the Cold Window Realm at this age has fully demonstrated the talent and potential of "Ghost Face Slaughter".

As for killing Wang Hao of the Sky Splitting Knife, Nan Lian naturally wouldn't believe that it was Ghost Face Tu who did it himself, but it is a high probability that Wang Hao, who has never left his sword, is dead, which also shows that in the hands of Ghost Face Tu, there is another powerful force in control, and this power is exactly what Fengtian Dao lacks and urgently needs.

When Nan Lian left, he didn't know whether it was unintentional or intentional, and he didn't ask someone to take care of the diet of the "Ghost Face Slaughter", but Shi Zhiyi's ring had everything in dry food and dried meat, and it was not bad for two meals in Fengtiandao.

It was early in the morning when they arrived at the country house, and by the time Nan Lian returned, it was already night. There were no superfluous words, Nan Lian just told Shi Zhiyi: "The Taoist wants to see you." ”

The two set out overnight, rode wildly for about an hour, and came to the foot of a mountain.

The peak is so steep that in the moonlight, only a small half of the foot can be seen, and the part above the mountainside is so high that you can't see the top at all. On the endless Guiyan Great Plain, this mountain peak stands alone here, which is particularly spectacular.

Shi Zhiyi is not familiar with the terrain near Kyoto, and vaguely remembers the existence of such a mountain, as for the specific name and location, his eyes are black.

And Nan Lian obviously didn't mean to introduce Shi Zhiyi, but silently tied the horse to a forest under the mountain, and took the lead on the bluestone road up the mountain.

This bluestone road is extremely narrow, only allowing one person to pass, the steps are steep, the mountains and rocks on both sides are forested, and the lines on the stone slabs are extremely clear under the moonlight, obviously there are not many people who usually walk.

Shi Zhiyi followed Nan Lian about a foot behind, climbing upwards while looking at the surrounding environment. It's late spring and early summer, everything is growing, and weeds are overgrown on both sides of the bluestone road, covering most of the mountain. The place that is not covered by weeds is a large cliff, and on the mountain mass dozens of feet high, the original color of the mountain rocks is much lighter than other positions, but in the dark night, it is not very clear.

The two of them climbed for a full hour before they finally passed through the clouds on the mountainside, and could see a glimpse of the top of the mountain through the gaps in the dense trees. On the top of the mountain, you can see a little light, there is a courtyard wall, and there seems to be a faint bell ringing in your ears, it seems that there is a temple located on the mountain.

The top of the mountain, covered in a silver gauze in the moonlight, didn't look too far away, but the path under their feet was winding and rugged, and they had walked for another half an hour, and they still hadn't reached it. Shi Zhiyi secretly guessed that the road they took should be a small path up the mountain, so it was inaccessible, and there was another road that could lead directly to the top of the mountain, perhaps for reasons of secrecy, Nan Lian chose to take him up this path.

However, considering that the object of Fengtiandao is the great prince who is above ten thousand people under one person, this caution is also very reasonable. If it weren't for such caution, I'm afraid that Fengtian Dao, which was not strong in force, would have been discovered and eradicated by the Great Prince.

I don't know how long I walked, and the bluestone road under the feet of the two finally saw the end. It was a small gate in the corner of a high dark red wall, which was supposed to be the back door of this huge courtyard, and it was particularly inconspicuous under the encirclement of trees and pines.

From the foot of the mountain to here, with the speed of the two of them, they climbed for more than two hours, which shows the height of this peak. Shi Zhiyi couldn't help but look back and look down, only to see the vast sea of clouds, the cliffs were precipitous, and the path when he came was looming between a cliff, as if he took a step back, he would fall to pieces, even with Shi Zhiyi's guts, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat behind his back.

The small door at the end of the bluestone road was closed, and Nan Lian stepped forward and knocked seven or eight times in a rhythmic manner, only to hear the door creak open, revealing a gap that only allowed one person to pass sideways.

The two of them slipped through the gap, and the door was immediately slammed back shut. Shi Zhiyi turned his head to look, but saw that the person who opened the door was a Taoist aunt who was about fifty years old, dressed in green clothes, holding a whisk in her hand, bending down and making a palm gesture towards the two of them, and then turned to leave.

Nan Lian did not follow the footsteps of that Dao Gu, but led Shi Zhiyi in another direction. The two of them walked around several dark gray wings and came to a separate courtyard. The reason why it is said to be a small courtyard is because this courtyard has only one room and a courtyard with a few plum trees planted in the courtyard, and nothing else. The height of the fence of the courtyard was just up to Shi Zhiyi's chest, and a child in his early teens could cross it with a gentle support, obviously not playing any protective role, but more like enclosing this small space.

"The Dao Master is in this room, you can go in by yourself. Nan Lian, who had been silent all the way, spoke.
