"Come on, give a seat to Master Zhou."

A clear voice rang out in the empty hall.

The heavy eaves roof of glazed tiles is paved tightly, even if the sun is three poles, the sunlight can not shine into the depths of the main hall, and the carved dragon inlaid with gold and jade in the hall is a little less vigorous.

Zhou Zong bowed his waist slightly, bowed to the middle-aged man on the Sumeru seat in a heavy tone, and then smoothed his Shunhua robe and took advantage of the situation to sit on the wide mahogany chairs sent by the waiters on the left and right. Today's head of Zhou Da is dressed very well, although the Imperial City of Los Angeles is eight hundred miles away, but there is no trace of fatigue on his clothes.

"Master Zhou, a few days ago I said that you were sick, but I was really anxious.

The middle-aged man who spoke looked straight ahead, dressed in a bright yellow plain shirt, with a delicate thin belt hanging from his waist, and the fine lines between his eyebrows were a little deeper than sixteen years ago, and everything else seemed to have changed.

"You have to worry about you, and you can recover so quickly when you are below." Zhou Zong said with a smile, but he was not at ease in his heart, Renjun summoned him into the imperial city, and he must not have come to ask for warmth.

"You cultivators, living for more than a hundred years is a hand-in-hand, I really envy it."

Renjun stared at Zhou Zong, his eyes piercing with a spirit.

The longer the greeting of the human monarch, the sharper the questioning became at that moment, Zhou Zong did not dare to take it lightly, and complimented: "The human monarch has the blessing of immortals, and he will live a long life." ”

Zhou Zong's words caused Renjun to laugh loudly, he laughed for a long time before stopping, and a sharp light like a blade suddenly flashed in his eyes, and the words also changed: "Master Zhou, do you know why I summoned you to the palace?" ”

In this Jinluan Palace, Renjun's questions must be answered.

Zhou Zong pondered for a moment and thought carefully about the countermeasures, the matter of Qiufang going down the mountain could not be hidden, but if he admitted it immediately, he would put the matter of bullying the monarch on the table, and if he came to the stage here, he would not be able to come down to the stage later.

After thinking about it again and again, he still chose to pretend to be stupid, and stood up from the chair respectfully, and said suspiciously: "I haven't seen you for a few years, maybe the king misses me, an old fool who doesn't care about anything." ”

Zhou Zong said with words, one said that he usually didn't care much about the rights and wrongs of Dongjimen, and the other said that he was old and would always make some mistakes in his actions.

"Haha." Renjun looked sideways at Zhou Zong and laughed to himself. "You, you, you're not much older than me and say you're old and confused, so why do I have to be a middle fool?"

Renjun's eyes were deep, and he joked with Zhou Zong with a smile on his face.

"Don't dare, the king has all the opportunities and governs the country in a good way, how can we be compared with those of us who don't care about mundane affairs."

Zhou Zong knew that the king wanted to talk about Qiufang, but he still pulled the topic to the other side under the pretext of haha.

"Did the kid go down the mountain?"

As soon as Renjun opened his mouth, he suddenly lost the cold arrow, and did not let Zhou Zong succeed.

"You're up, you're going down the mountain."

"You Dongjimen promised that this child would never come down the mountain." Renjun's face turned cold, and after a slight pause, he said, "I remember that Master Zhou's memory has always been good. ”

"If you violate the royal order, you should be punished." Zhou Zong did not defend himself, but directly admitted his guilt.

"Punish whom?"

"Punish me."

"People, did you or the Taoist on the mountain take you down the mountain?"

"It's me."

"You are the master of the East Pole Gate."

Renjun's face was hidden by the dim light, and his expression became more and more invisible.

"The others don't know."

Zhou Zong said unhurriedly, Dongjimen, as the minions of the temple in the world, has come and gone in the wind and rain for decades, and has all the credit and hard work, so it should have escaped a catastrophe.

But Zhou Zong was a little frightened at the moment, he hadn't seen Renjun in the past few years, and he felt that he was a little less pyrotechnic and a little more cold.

"Do you want to take it all by yourself?"

"One person does the same thing."

"Hahahaha! Master Zhou is so courageous! ”

Renjun laughed and stood up again, took a few slow steps, and then walked down from the high platform, came to Zhou Zong, and looked at the master of this East Pole Gate with straight eyes: "Without the East Pole Gate, I will lose an arm; Without Master Zhou, this hall will be missing a pillar. ”

After saying that, he paused, walked to a huge stone pillar that supported the palace, put his right hand on the lifelike carved dragon head, and said while caressing: "It's okay to lose an arm, but if this hall is missing a pillar, it will collapse." ”

As soon as the words fell, Renjun turned around again and set his eyes on Zhou Zong.

Renjun's words gave Zhou Zong enough face, and it seemed that he had just passed the step-by-step pressing, and Zhou Zong also knew that Renjun no longer intended to punish him, so he said with a sigh of relief in his chest: "Thank you for your kindness." ”

"But what do you want to do when you let him go down the mountain?"

"For the inheritance of the East Pole Gate."

Zhou Zong told a lie, Renjun ordered that the case of the Eighth Prince's destruction of the door should not be investigated, if he opened his mouth, he would investigate the case, and today I am afraid that no one can ensure the safety of Dongji Gate.

"Oh? You said. When Renjun heard this, he raised his eyebrows.

"This son has some talent, and the rune of the East Pole Gate is related to him." Zhou Zong still lowered his head, and Renjun couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.

"Fu Dao, you can't learn it in the mountains?"

"In the mountains, there are only mountains. In the world, you can learn from the world. ”

"It seems that there are successors to your East Pole Gate."

"We will let him lead the East Pole Gate to serve the king and escort the foundation of the Xia Kingdom."

Renjun smiled again when he heard this, and he paced back and forth in the hall, the gloom on his face swept away, as if he no longer pursued the matter.

But Zhou Zong knew that Renjun must not be at ease, so he added a sentence to make Renjun feel more at ease.

"I don't know where he came from."

"Oh?" Renjun stopped and asked rhetorically.

"I don't dare to deceive below." Zhou Zong raised his head and said firmly.

Qiu Fang knows about his life experience, and there are only a handful of people who know about it, and when he goes back, he must let everyone take care of the level in his mouth. Zhou Zong's eyes looked determined, but he was struggling with calculations in his heart.

"If you don't know, you will never know. Master Zhou's memory has to be better again. ”

Renjun smiled, getting closer, Zhou Zong saw that he hadn't seen him for all these years, and Renjun's sideburns were also dyed with a little white frost.

"I don't dare to forget it anymore." Zhou Zong replied neatly, he didn't dare to disobey Renjun again, although he had lived a lonely life, and he had long regarded life and death as false, but he didn't dare to let him play with his life up and down the East Pole Gate.

"The Eighth Prince's... The old ministry has been on the move lately. Renjun said again, the voice was not loud or small, and it happened to be sent into Zhou Zong's ears.

"Recently, Zibu has been injured, and the secret agents in the door have also killed and injured a lot, it seems that they are all the old department of the Eighth Prince..."

Zhou Zong's eyes narrowed a little, turning into a slit.

Renjun waved his hand, and did not let Zhou Zong continue, but interrupted: "This matter, be cautious, you must find out." You said Zibu was injured? ”

Zhou Zong nodded and replied, "Look at the injury, it was Mo Zong's doing." ”

"Mo Zong? Is that the only one in Los Angeles who can wrestle with you? ”

Renjun's face was cold, as if he didn't take Mozong in his eyes.

"It's them." Zhou Zong echoed.

"Dongji Gate is the right-hand man of the temple, and they dare to make it?"

"I suspect that Mozong is involved with the old department of the Eighth Prince."

When Renjun heard this, he didn't answer immediately, but sneered, paused for a moment before saying, "So, it was the Eighth Prince's old department?" ”

"I don't dare to talk about it."

Renjun knew that Zhou Zong's denial was not a denial.

"It seems that the general still has the eighth prince in his heart."

Seeing that Renjun said it so categorically, Zhou Zong gasped.

The monarch of the world has always been a wrist to the sky. He knew very well that the Dongji Gate would not be fully trusted by Renjun, and Renjun's secret chess had already been played in a place that even he was not aware of. It's just that Renjun knows too much.

"If it's a general, then this matter is a little troublesome." Zhou Zong's face appeared solemn, Ye Yun's grandson entered Los Angeles, he knew that the general had some ulterior things with Mo Zong, but he didn't know what kind of deal was discussed, and he didn't dare to jump to conclusions.

"Master Zhou, it's been sixteen years since the eighth prince died."

Renjun didn't answer, but talked about his past.

"Sixteen years." Zhou Zong is an old man, so naturally he will not talk about being an important minister who holds military power, and let the people and kings fall on their words elsewhere.

"The power of the eight princes leans towards the government and the opposition, although he is dead, but his protégés are not only here, but there are many."

Renjun muttered.

"Below, I know." Zhou Zong comforted.

When he heard the words of the power leaning towards the government and the opposition, Zhou Zong was a little unhappy in his heart, although the eighth prince was extremely powerful, but it was also exchanged for the merits of Xia Guoguo, and he should not be evaluated in this way, but Jun Yan did not dare to disobey, and it was inconvenient for him to say anything.

"Master Zhou, don't take it lightly, not to mention that above the temple, it is the demon domain, maybe they will also get involved."

Zhou Zong had the impression that after Renjun got older, he rarely showed such worries.

"Demon Domain?"

Zhou Zong dragged his voice, pondering and asking rhetorically, the word demon domain has a different meaning for Dongji Gate.

"What do you want if someone threatens the throne of the king?"

Renjun asked coldly. Zhou Zong's chest was tight, and he replied immediately: "The monarch's power is supreme, and the East Pole Gate will be desperately maintained." ”

"The power of the monarch is supreme, will all the power of the monarch be maintained?"

Renjun's voice was awe-inspiring, Rao is Zhou Zong was used to seeing strong winds and waves, and he was also shocked by this words. He is different from the eldest and second eldest of the East Pole Gate, this life is riddled with mundane affairs, not only does his cultivation linger at the door of the first type of people, but even his state of mind is not as unconventional as the second one.

Not to mention that the eldest and second are not willing to serve the temple at all, even if there is a big fight in the world, the two of them will only one to treat the victims and the other to eliminate the demons. Of course, this is only before the boss becomes a demon.

But Zhou Zong didn't dare to break free from the reins of the world, and replied categorically: "If there is no king, there will be no monarchy in the world." ”

"Good!" Renjun's applause was raised a little, and it resounded through the empty hall.

Why is this person uncertain now, Zhou Zong scolded secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he diverted the topic: "How can you see it, it is still related to the demon domain?" ”

"I not only know the Demon Domain, but also know that your senior brother is already in the Demon Domain."

Renjun's words are worth playing, but Zhou Zong's eyes widened, if there is anything in this world that can haunt him, then Wu Ma Shuo must be one of them.

Having said that, Zhou Zong had to quickly clear up the relationship.

"After that person became a demon, Dongjimen had nothing to do with him."

Thousands of disciples of the East Pole Gate, and a Wu Ma Shuo, Zhou Zong naturally knew which was more important.

"Master Zhou, there are still a lot of unknowable things in this world, since the child has gone down the mountain, your second senior brother, why don't you please go down the mountain together."

Renjun looked at Zhou Zong, his eyes were unfathomable.

"The second senior brother acts maverick, and we have no right to interfere."

"It's hard to do things in the world." Renjun raised his head slightly, looked calmly outside the hall, and sighed. After a pause, he smiled at Zhou Zong again: "I haven't seen you for so many years, and Master Zhou has to taste the food in the dining room even if he says anything." ”

With that, he laughed and walked out.

Zhou Zong breathed a sigh of relief, today's words of Renjun were both beating and wooing, and they showed the authority of the royal family. As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, but at a glance, the companion tiger is not so terrible.

It's just that I listened to the meaning of Renjun's words, everything behind Mozong may have been done by the general, and the Empress Yuan was still eyeing him, and the old department of the Eighth Prince was filling up the disputes, and the huge Luocheng was afraid that it would not be able to avoid a bloody storm.

Of course, all this made Zhou Zong a little more cautious at most, with the big roots of the East Pole Gate, this was not a big deal. But the word "Demon Domain" was like a sharp knife straight into Zhou Zong's chest.

First Yan Qingyun sent a letter, and then Renjun mentioned it again, all these signs seem to indicate that the boss is not at peace in the demon domain. If he was really born, with his long-cherished wish to turn everyone into a demon and seek immortality, I am afraid that the turmoil will no longer be the Los Angeles family.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zong felt that one head and two were big, so he simply stopped thinking about it, and said aloud to Renjun's back: "The royal food, I haven't tasted it for some days. ”

Speaking of eating, at this moment, he seemed to have left all the clouds behind again.
