Yujing 24 squares, upper eight squares, middle eight squares, lower eight squares.

Taishang Fang is located in the upper eight squares, and Haichan Fang is ranked in the lower eight squares, the former is located in the northwest corner, near Xuandu, and the latter is located in the southeast corner, near the ferry where the flying boat lands outside the city.

Cui Daogu ended her rest, took the flying boat on the first day of the Lunar New Year, set off from Zhongzhou, arrived in Yujing on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and returned to the old place she was familiar with.

The ferry port of Yujing is very large, which can accommodate more than 20 flying boats to moor together, and at this time, the flying boats are neatly arranged, which is very spectacular. When Cui Daogu walked down the gangway, there were also other flyboat passengers disembarking one after another, because of the New Year's Festival, there were not many people, and then Cui Daogu noticed that there was an empty seat not far away, and there was no flying boat docked.

"That's ......" Cui Daogu was stunned for a moment, "Is it late?" ”

Cui Daogu got off the gangway and saw many people gathered together and discussed.

Cui Daogu felt strange in her heart, she happened to see a colleague, and took the initiative to come forward to say hello and ask about the situation.

The colleague said: "I heard that something happened, a flying boat was shot down by the cult demons, and many people died, and Tiangang Hall was dispatched." ”

"Shipwreck?" Cui Daogu was taken aback, then remembered the vacant seat she saw, and hurriedly asked, "Which flying boat is it?" ”

"It seems to be the flying boat of the Shangqing Palace." The colleague replied, "It is said that they have infiltrated the cult demons, and these cult demons are really pervasive, always trying to stir up trouble and never rest for a moment. ”

Cui Daogu suddenly had a bad premonition, and her face was a little ugly.

The colleague hurriedly asked, "What, do you have acquaintances on this flying boat?" ”

Cui Daogu shook his head and said: "My neighbor went to Yunjin Mountain, but he said that he didn't return until the fifteenth day of the first month, so it shouldn't be them, but I still think it's dangerous." ”

"That's right. If you don't say that everything is fate, it's not up to anyone. A little further, following the flying boat of the Quanzhen Dao back, many real people were in charge in person, and no one dared to do anything. A little later, when I came back from the flying boat on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there were also many high-grade Taoist priests. Just caught up with the middle trip, and ran to Yujing for the New Year, most of them had errands, and they encountered this kind of unlucky thing, which can only be said to be fate. Colleagues are also embarrassed.

It is said that things hurt their kind, and the same is true for Taoist priests.

They may not care much about the life and death of ordinary people, because most of the things that happen to ordinary people will not happen to them, but they are deeply touched by the death of these Taoist priests.

In addition to grief, there will also be fear, and in order to dispel fear, I think that the top and bottom of Yujing will soon reach a consensus that it is necessary to crack down on secret associations, especially the three major cults.

As the two spoke, a flying boat landed in the lake behind them, stirring up a layer of mist.

"It's the flying boat of Tiangang Hall!" Someone recognized the logo on the flying boat.

The flying boat put down the gangway, and a group of Tiangangtang Taoist priests in formal clothes walked down the flying boat, unable to hide their tiredness, and the last one was a woman, dressed in civilian clothes, looking out of place, her face was pale, and her eyes were full of suppressed sadness.

Cui Daogu recognized the woman at a glance and said loudly: "Deputy Hall Master Zhang!" ”

Zhang Yuelu turned her head to look at her when she heard this, hesitated for a moment, waved her hand to Mu Yan, and walked towards Cui Daogu alone.

Cui Daogu said to her colleagues, and then took the initiative to step forward.

"Master Cui." Zhang Yuelu still remembered Cui Daogu, who was Qi Xuansu's neighbor, she had met when she went to Haichanfang, and the two had a conversation.

Cui Daogu looked behind Zhang Yuelu, but didn't see anyone else, her heart suddenly chuckled, and she asked softly, "What about Tianyuan, he didn't come back with you?" ”

Zhang Yuelu closed his eyes, and after a while, he reopened his eyes and said in a low voice: "Tianyuan he...... Something went wrong. ”

"Should it be ......" Cui Daogu covered her mouth and almost screamed.

……

Sea Toad Fang, Qi Xuansu's home.

Because Qi Xuansu's luggage is still in Zhang Yuelu's Sumeru, Zhang Yuelu has the key here.

At this time, she and Cui Daogu were sitting in the main hall.

Zhang Yuelu roughly recounted what happened, and then said: "That's the thing, I decided to deal with it as missing first, maybe Tianyuan will come back one day." ”

Cui Daogu wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief: "Both of them are hard-working people, and the death of the master is unknown, it has only been a few years, and the apprentice has encountered this kind of thing again, it is really ......"

When Zhang Yuelu heard this, she suddenly remembered that Qi Xuansu said that he still wanted to avenge his master, but Zhang Yuelu didn't know the fact that Qi Xuansu had already taken revenge, so she couldn't help but turn red in her eyes, and secretly decided: "I will definitely complete his unfinished business for him." ”

Cui Daogu let out a long sigh: "Tianyuan has no relatives, and there are some aftermaths...... Some things are entrusted to Deputy Hall Master Zhang, if there is anything I can help, Deputy Hall Master Zhang can just speak. ”

"I don't dare to shirk the things that are within my bounds." Zhang Yuelu nodded.

Cui Daogu got up and said, "Then I'll leave first." ”

After Cui Daogu left, Zhang Yuelu took out Qi Xuansu's luggage from Sumeru and prepared to put them back in their original places.

When he came to the study, it was exactly the same as when the two left, Zhang Yuelu looked around, and suddenly remembered the scene when the two of them packed their luggage together, and couldn't help but have a sour nose.

Two go, one returns.

……

After knowing that the Feizhou accident occurred, Zhang Yuqi, Taiqiong, Zhang Yuyue, Zhang Zhiyue, Zhang Jiping, Yan Mingchen and others also wrote to inquire about Zhang Yuelu's situation. Zhang Yuelu didn't have a mental understanding, Zimu Fu didn't want to take it, she didn't want to reply to the book, and she didn't want others to worry, so she asked Mu Yan to reply one by one on her behalf.

Mu Yan will probably reply truthfully.

After the Zhang family knew that Zhang Yuelu was safe and sound, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and learned that Qi Xuansu died in this accident.

Zhang Kuqi, who usually tries to avoid a head-on conflict with his wife, was furious and angrily scolded his wife: "No matter how much you don't like him, after all, people died to save Qingxiao, don't take a handful of sympathetic tears, isn't it too much?" What do you see you like? This is the upbringing of generations of scholars? So many books, so many knowledge, all read into the belly of a dog? ”

She was furious and wanted to go to war with her husband.

Zhang Jiqi was not afraid: "If you want to reason with me, then it's good, we'd better find a few witnesses and explain it in front of Qingxiao." Even if that young man has nothing to do with Qingxiao, he is also a disciple of the Daomen, shouldn't it be sad that so many people have died unexpectedly!? ”

Tan Tai Qiong could only suppress his anger.

Zhang Yuqi looked at Zhang Yuyue again: "You always say that that young man is the next Li Minghuang, and getting close to Qingxiao must be a bad intention, and you want to use Qingxiao as a step forward, but now?" What else do you have to say? Will Li Minghuang give you his life for the sake of the future?! You have been deceived by a man who is not as good as pigs and dogs, are all men in the world inferior to pigs and dogs? ”

Zhang Yuyue was speechless, and only after a long time did she say abruptly: "I was wrong." ”

Zhang Yuqi slowed down his tone and said: "The family is blind, and in the end, Qingxiao is more accurate in seeing people and knows what a good person is." Yes, people are indeed not of high grade and have a bad background, but even if they rush this point, they are a hundred times stronger than Li Tianzhen. I advise you to put away your calculations and think more about Qingxiao. ”

For a while, the hall was silent, whether it was Taiqiong or Zhang Yuyue, they didn't speak.

……

Zhang Yuelu returned to the Shaking Light Xuan in Tiangang Hall, entered his signature room, and found a set of folded new clothes and some paperwork on Qi Xuansu's table.

"It's ...... What? Zhang Yuelu stopped.

Mu Yan replied softly: "It is the Dao crown and formal clothes of the six-grade Taoist priest, as well as the corresponding urns, silver, various subsidies and settlement allowances, all of which have also come down." ”

Although Mu Yan didn't mention her name, both of them knew who it was.

Zhang Yuelu was silent for a while, and said, "Put it away, put it in the cabinet in the inner room, and give it to him when he comes back." ”

"He's already ......," Mu Yan said subconsciously.

As a result, Zhang Yuelu's gaze swept over, making the second half of her words come to an abrupt end.

Zhang Yuelu sighed: "You go." ”

"Yes." Mu Yan picked up Qi Xuansu's things and turned to leave.

Zhang Yuelu sat alone in Qi Xuansu's position.

At this moment, the real person in charge walked in from outside the door.

Zhang Yuelu was stunned, and subconsciously wanted to get up.

The real person in charge of the hall stretched out his hand to press it, signaling that she didn't need to be polite, and then asked: "I've heard about you, is it the young man who accompanied you to the play?" ”

Zhang Yuelu nodded.

The real person in charge sighed. He has always treated Zhang Yuelu as half a disciple, and gave her two tickets, naturally caring about her lifelong events, and those two tickets did have some effect, but he didn't expect it to turn out to be such a result in the end.

"I know that young man, very good, a good seedling. It's just a pity. The real person in charge of the hall said angrily, "Don't be too sad, everyone has the day to leave, and the road has to go on." ”

Zhang Yuelu said softly: "Yes." ”

The real person in charge of the hall said again: "You have to cheer up as soon as possible, if nothing else, the Daomen will soon launch a round of actions against the secret association, and I will order your generals when the time comes." ”

Zhang Yuelu said: "Please rest assured. ”

The real person in charge of the hall didn't say anything more, and turned to leave.

After the real person in charge of the hall left, Lingquanzi, Sun Yongfeng, Cao Liyou, and Xu Kou also came here, not only to visit Zhang Yuelu, who was immortal, but also to inquire about the news of Qi Xuansu.

Cao Liyou's voice trembled and asked, "Deputy Hall Master, Deacon Qi is he...... He...... Is it true? ”

Zhang Yuelu nodded.

Cao Liyou was speechless.

After the others heard the news, whether they were sincere or not, they all showed sadness on their faces, especially Lingquanzi, who had fought side by side with Qi Xuansu, and they were even more moved by their true feelings.

Xu Kou said in a low voice: "I am convinced today, you are a man." ”
