After Zhang Yuelu left the imperial capital, he walked for a while on foot, and suddenly the clouds gathered, and the sky suddenly became gloomy.

Seeing that a snowstorm is coming.

Zhang Yuelu was not afraid of the wind and snow, but she had no destination, she just left the imperial capital temporarily, and it didn't make much sense to rush aimlessly, so she simply found a roadside inn to avoid the wind and snow.

At this time, the wind and snow blocked the road, and many people had gathered in the inn.

Because she was away, Zhang Yuelu put on a cloak, that is, the kind she and Qi Xuansu wore when they went to the Western Regions, and wore a hood, covering half of her face, revealing only one chin.

Zhang Yuelu is very disgusted with the act of wearing a veil, but this contact with the Purple Light Society made her feel a little weak for no reason, and she didn't want to show her true face, or she was afraid of being seen by others.

When Zhang Yuelu pushed the door and walked into the inn, the entire inn lobby suddenly fell silent.

The reason is very simple, not because Zhang Yuelu showed the momentum of the celestials, but because there are obvious traces of Taoism on the cloak, which means that the person who came is a Taoist priest of Taoism, and it is not the kind of Taoist priest who has no position.

This is not to blame Zhang Yuelu for swaggering, it is a three-grade Youyi Taoist, all kinds of clothes and clothing are uniformly distributed by the Daomen, this is the rule set by the five generations of the Great Palm Sect in order to unify the dress, and it is impossible for her to prepare a few ordinary Taoist clothes in advance.

When the people in the rivers and lakes saw such people in the Daomen who were not Taoist priests, they either called the Taoist chief, or secretly called the Taoist master with some irony, which shows the status of the people of the Daomen. As for titles such as "Daomen Dog", only the demons of the secret association dare to do so, and they have to be the characters of the three secret associations.

Many characters in the rivers and lakes have subconsciously lowered their voices.

At this time, there was no empty table, Zhang Yuelu picked a table by the window, she didn't mind sharing a table with others, but the guests at this table were afraid of her, so they directly let the table out and went to the adjacent table to squeeze with others.

Zhang Yuelu sighed inaudibly, didn't say anything, greeted the guy, and asked for a pot of white wine - she didn't like the softness and sweetness of rice wine.

Now it is the time of the peaceful world, the court is rich all over the world, the sea trade is prosperous, the life of the people is quite passable, and they really can't go on, so they go to sea and go to the legendary new continent full of silver and gold, maybe they can fight for a fortune. If you accidentally die, then it will be a hundred.

In addition, in order to substantially control Borneo and Dong Po Suozhou, Daomen vigorously encouraged the people to go overseas to reclaim the wasteland, and even sent Pingzhang Dazhen to personally sit in charge for many years to coordinate and dispatch, which can be regarded as expanding the territory in another sense. If there were really displaced people, they would have boarded the big ship of the Daomen and headed for the South Seas without having to go to the beginning of the incident. This move has made it impossible for more than 1,000 displaced people to rise in the past 200 years, which is also the most in the past dynasties.

From this point of view, the Great Xuan of Daomen is a dynasty similar to the Great Qi, he is outwardly developed, vast, and inevitably inclusive.

Not to mention the chaos in the middle and last years of the Great Qi, Xijing Mansion in the early years of the Great Qi was the largest capital in the world, not only the Central Plains people, but also other ethnic groups collectively known as the Hu people.

Today's Daomen, in fact, is the same truth, tolerance can be great, tolerance can be broad, so the Daomen has been influenced by Western learning, and the west wind is quite popular, which is the same as the influence of the Hu people in Daqi.

Since it is inclusive, it is naturally open. The upper class should pay attention to words and deeds, but ordinary people will not be punished for their words, and the inn does not shy away from talking about state affairs, and there is no sign of "don't talk about state affairs".

It's just that there is really no state affairs to talk about now, and the war in the Western Regions has ended, and it is no surprise that it is another big victory, which is already a bit calm. Then there are the Westerners on the other side of Xiposa Continent fighting, but the distance is too far, and the West Posa Continent is still separated from Lingnan by East Po Continent and Borneo, and then from Lingnan to Dijing, adding up to more than 108,000 miles away, it really can't affect people's hearts.

Therefore, the guests in the inn are mostly talking about some rumors in the rivers and lakes, and the old boxer and the old dart head have made a gambling contract, and they will win or lose on a certain day in such and such a place. Or maybe a certain hero was kicked out of the hall to seek revenge and lost face.

For Zhang Yuelu, it is very none

Interesting.

It is true that Daomen has also been rolling in such a quagmire of rivers and lakes, but now it is different from the past, Daomen is no longer the Daomen of the past, it is the lord of the world, internally it is the nineteen states of the world, and externally there are Fenglin Continent, Borneo, Posa Continent, and even the Western Continent and the New World, Daomen disciples will naturally no longer pay attention to how the rivers and lakes are.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a woman's voice say, "Shopkeeper, is there a guest room?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "I'm sorry, it's full today."

The woman said, "Okay, are there any vacancies?"

The shopkeeper glanced at Zhang Yuelu, who occupied a table alone, and continued to smile and said, "I'm really sorry, it's really too many guests today, it's really ......."

Zhang Yuelu said, "If you don't mind, I still have a vacant seat here that you can share a table."

When the words fell, the woman had already entered the lobby, and when everyone saw this woman, their eyes were bright, only to see that she was more than thirty years old, with an apricot face and peach cheeks, a beautiful face, wearing a light cyan brocade leather jacket, and the clothes were quite luxurious, but she didn't look like a noble lady, but like a woman walking the rivers and lakes.

The woman walked straight towards Zhang Yuelu's table and thanked her, "Thank you for this girl."

Zhang Yuelu didn't answer, just drank.

The woman sat opposite Zhang Yuelu, looked at Zhang Yuelu carefully, and suddenly said, "This girl is looking for someone?"

Zhang Yuelu paused slightly, because of Qi Xuansu, she did not despise the so-called old rivers and lakes, and thought that she was inexperienced, where the traces were exposed, and the old rivers and lakes saw through, so she replied, "I'm looking for a woman."

"Woman?" The woman laughed, "It's not strange for men to look for women, but it's a little strange for women to find women. Is it a sister? Or mother? It won't be a daughter."

Zhang Yuelu said cryptically: "It's not a sister, it's not a mother, it's not a daughter. Strictly speaking, I'm looking for a group of women. It is said that many of the women in the Imperial Palace are related to them, but for some reason, I can't go to the Imperial Palace."

The woman didn't answer immediately, but beckoned to the guy, "Here's a pot of the best liquor."

Zhang Yuelu asked, "Do you know such a woman?"

The woman looked at Zhang Yuelu and smiled, "What the girl said is...... Purple Light Society?"

Zhang Yuelu was silent.

"You use it slowly." The man came to the table with a jug of wine, placed it in front of the woman, and left.

Only then did Zhang Yuelu speak, "I didn't say I was looking for a secret association."

"But the girl has made it very clear, I have seen many people, and it is easy to tell who the girl is talking about." The woman laughed.

Zhang Yuelu put down the wine jug in his hand, looked the woman in front of him up and down, and asked, "Who are you?"

The woman said unhurriedly, "My name is Xuanji, a man from the rivers and lakes who walks in all directions."

Zhang Yuelu looked at the woman in front of her who called herself "Xuanji" and asked, "Nowadays, Jianghu people are also a kind of identity?"

The woman said, "I originally had a sect, but unfortunately the juniors in the sect seized power and drove me out, and I became a lonely ghost on the rivers and lakes."

Zhang Yuelu said in a low voice, "Jianghu."

"Yes, rivers and lakes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes." Xuanji said, "Beyond the temple are rivers and lakes."

Zhang Yuelu then asked, "How do you know about the Purple Light Society?"

Xuanji looked directly at Zhang Yuelu's gaze: "Good question. Through some rumors, of course. As a scattered person, of course, this is not the inheritance of the scattered people of the Daomen, or the scattered people in the literal sense, I can only know some great big forces and big people through various rumors. Of course, there aren't many people who are as well-informed as I am."

Zhang Yuelu's eyes lowered slightly: "It is indeed well-informed, you are more well-informed than a person from the Dao Sect who is looking for the traces of the secret association."

Xuanji smiled again: "Not only that, what I met was not an ordinary Daomen, what I met was the youngest Sanpin Youyi Taoist priest of the Daomen, the granddaughter of the Heavenly Master, and the deputy hall advocate of the Tiangang Hall."

Zhang Yuelu was shocked in her heart, but her face was still calm

"You also know about me from rumors?"

Xuanji didn't answer, but picked up the flask and took a sip of wine.

Zhang Yuelu continued to ask, "Do you know where to find people from the Purple Light Society?"

Xuanji put down the flask and slammed it on the table: "Before answering, I want to ask, is this related to the Zhang family?"

Zhang Yuelu's tone was slightly cold: "It has nothing to do with you."

Xuanji was not annoyed, and reached out to support the step shake on his head: "That's right, I'm just an insignificant Jianghu person, and the dignified Zhang Gaogong really doesn't need to explain anything to me."

Zhang Yuelu accentuated his tone: "What do you know? Tell me all."

Xuanji still looked relaxed: "This is not an attitude of begging for people, you won't even say the word "please".

Zhang Yuelu was silent for a moment, and her tone was much softer: "Please tell me."

Xuanji said, "It's actually not difficult to find the Purple Light Society. Out of this inn all the way to the east, about thirty miles away there is a business with a half-closed door, do you know what a half-closed door means?"

Changed to the previous Zhang Yuelu, I really don't know, but not long ago, Qi Xuansu was ordered to rectify the atmosphere, and the two often communicated through the scriptures, Zhang Yuelu naturally knew it now, and nodded: "It's the lowest brothel."

Xuanji smiled and said, "It seems that the girl of the Zhang family is not a cannibalistic fireworks, if you want to find the Purple Light Society, go there."

Zhang Yuelu stared at Xuanji.

From beginning to end, others listened to the conversation between the two.

Xuanji continued to drink, her face getting redder and redder.

Soon, she got drunk, lay on the table, and fell into a deep sleep.

About half an hour later, she woke up, opened her hazy drunken eyes, and looked around blankly, as if she didn't know Zhang Yuelu at all: "Where is this?"

Zhang Yuelu frowned.

The man in front of him is nothing more than a marionette.

From this point of view, since she set foot in this inn, she has been under the gaze of a certain being.
