1271 - Coming of great calamity
Bai Wei asked angrily again: "In terms of seniority, even when I see him, I have to respect him as a lifelong uncle, not to mention that when your old man brought Maoshan to fight our Yuanzong Wulong Mountain, the Five Thunder Dao Masters made us suffer a lot, and now you want us to compete with him?" ”
When he mentioned the fact that Maoshan attacked Yuanzong Wulong Mountain, Daoist Mao looked a little embarrassed, and hurriedly waved his hand and laughed: "Don't mention the original incident, don't mention the original incident, it's all a misunderstanding...... Hey, I'm out of luck too! If my two little apprentices fail to be selected in the 'Eight Levels', how much more faceless will I have? There has to be someone to give us Maoshan a foothold, but my apprentices and nephews who have good abilities are unwilling to come, so I can only find Wulei junior brother, he made a mistake when he fought Wulong Mountain, and now he knows that he is ashamed to at least obey me, right? ”
"Mao Daochang, you can really play......"
I couldn't help but sigh, and said: "Yes, it's a foregone conclusion, let's not fight more about the matter of the Five Thunder Dao Chiefs, but I don't understand, what kind of apprentices are you receiving?" Is there a normal one? Yang Death was born a 'living dead', Liu Dayang was a 'man who died in the third life', and now he has a short-lived ...... Those who know that you are the head of the Maoshan faction, but those who don't know still think that you are the living king of the underworld......"
"Name, it's just a code name, it's easy to feed ...... name"
Mao Daochang laughed, we didn't care much at the time, who would have thought that in the later Tianzhu Mansion entrance assessment 'Breaking the Eight Levels', this short-lived little Taoist priest named Yin did us a lot of harm......
Now that everything should be said has been said, Mao Daochang who shouldn't say it naturally won't say it, seeing that it was not early after a long night's talk, so everyone said goodbye to Mao Daochang and went back to the house to rest.
After sleeping comfortably in the hotel for another night, the next morning came at five o'clock, before dawn, Mao Daochang sent Liu Dayang to knock on our door one by one, called us all up, washed up and ate the breakfast specially prepared by Yanfang and Lin Yude, everyone packed their bags and prepared to go on the road, and went straight to Nanjing.
Nanjing is next door to Yangzhou, and the road is easy to walk, so we arrived in Nanjing city after half a day's work, and then found a good looking restaurant for lunch.
After eating, Mao Daochang stood up and said goodbye to us, which frightened everyone, and hurriedly asked him why he was leaving, so he replied with a smile: "You helped my apprentice Zhu Taibai solve the trouble, so I don't have to go to Xiaohuzhuang again, in order to thank you, I escorted you all the way back to Nanjing, now Nanjing has arrived, I can't lead you to Tianzhu Mansion like a tour guide, right?" The entrance assessment of Tianzhu Mansion is fair, just and open, and I can't cheat for personal gain just because we have known each other for a long time, right? ”
As soon as Mao Dao said a long word, he only heard Bai Wei say coldly on the side: "Dao Chief, what you said is really good, and you are 'escorting' us, there is a god to escort us for such a short distance?" You might as well just say that it's to rub our car back to Nanjing......"
"Haha! It's all the same, it's all ......the same," Mao Daochang laughed, "Anyway, you have already arrived in Nanjing, how to find clues to the assessment location next, and the follow-up 'Eight Levels', but it depends on you...... By the way, there's one more thing......"
Mao Daochang patted the big suitcase on his side as he spoke, and said: "I have been following you spirit beast, I will take it away first, it is not lightly injured now, I will try to help him recover, so that it can see the light of day as soon as possible......."
Hearing this, everyone nodded, after all, Mao Daochang temporarily took care of the seriously injured Yuan, which we had decided two days ago.
When I was in Xiaohuzhuang, I sacrificed my life for Bai Wei to block the lightning strike, which caused the body to break and almost wipe out, and now we can only hide in the suitcase and wait for it to heal itself, we see how not distressed, to be honest, since Xiaohuzhuang this way, because of the lack of laughter and laughter, everyone has lost a lot of fun, but some are not used to it.
It is said that when Yang died when he was a child, he was taken to Longhu Mountain by Zhang Biqing to learn Taoism, and then traveled away from the Three Mountains to learn Taoism, and out of concern and curiosity about this 'Nine Strange People', he often sneaked to the mountains to visit Yang Death, or peeked at the female disciples in the Three Mountains to take a bath, and they became old acquaintances with the three heads of the Three Mountains......
Therefore, now that Daoist Mao is willing to take care of the injured wife for us, everyone is naturally relieved.
Now that the meal is finished, Mao Daochang said that he was afraid of being hungry on the road in the afternoon, so he specially asked Liu Dayang to get a bag, and then said goodbye to us, and wanted to leave with a big suitcase hidden in it.
But as soon as he turned around, he heard Bai Wei stop him from behind and say, "Daoist Mao, you stay first, I forgot a serious thing......
"Huh? What else? Mao Daochang asked.
Bai Wei hesitated for a moment and asked again: "Daochang Mao, this time we come to Nanjing for assessment, can we see my brother?" ”
Bai Wei asked this question, and without waiting for Daoist Mao to answer, he first heard the fourth child say on the side: "Bai Wei, you are asking superfluously, isn't the entrance assessment of Tianzhu Mansion originally controlled by the 'Twelve Heavenly Hunting Honors'?" For this reason, the twelve heavenly venerables have all rushed to Nanjing, and when we get to the place where the exam is, we will definitely be able to see the white dragon's ......"
After the fourth child said this, the expression on Bai Wei's face looked a little better, but after a while, she heard Mao Daochang sigh and replied in a deep voice: "This...... Actually, it doesn't have to be ......."
"Not necessarily?" Bai Wei was taken aback, "What do you mean?" ”
Mao Daochang replied: "Hey, it stands to reason that when entering the 'Eight Levels', it is true that each level will be controlled by a Tianzun, and the remaining four Tianzun will be responsible for the safety of the examination room and candidates...... But this year the situation is a little different......"
"What kind of special law?" Bai Wei asked again.
"Actually, I didn't want to mention this matter, after all, I feel a little uncomfortable when I think about it, but since you have to ask, I'll just say it......" Mao Daochang paused and replied: "Since the abolition of Bai Zilin, the lord of Tianzhu Mansion, the 'Twelve Heavenly Hunting Mansions' is not only the head of Tianzhu Mansion, but also a top title that symbolizes the highest honor in the exorcism world today, and has always been respected by hundreds of sects and thousands of factions in the exorcism world, and its authority and strength are unshakable, but since last year, the Huoyan Group and the Inhuman Sect that has been lurking in the exorcism world have surfaced, Tianzhu Mansion has been hit repeatedly, first Zhang Hongru, the first uncle of Longhu Mountain, was removed from the Demon Dao, and then the ghost gate was closed. Ma Wangye's Wang Zizhong also unfortunately fell, crowning the entire exorcism world of the twelve heavenly venerable two people in a row, not to mention the momentum of the righteous path factions, but also because of the actions of the Inhuman Sect, the major factions are panicked and uneasy, and even many factions are checking themselves behind closed doors, trying to find out the demons who lurk in the sect like Zhang Hongru, so that now the cause and effect of Zen Buddhism The two masters stayed in Wutai Mountain and could not come to Nanjing, and the head of the Tianxin faction Ghost Mother 'Luo Qiuping was also entangled in trivial matters in the door, and the general Wang led the five armies to protect the mansion to arrest the remnants of the Huoyan Group after the Baji Palace incident, and they couldn't get out of it, and I am afraid that only four or five Tianzun including me and Yang Death were left in charge of this year's entry assessment......"
"Where's my brother?" Bai Wei asked in surprise: "Isn't my brother also in Nanjing?" Will he be in charge of this exam? ”
He ...... I'm afraid I can't ......."
Mao Daochang hesitated again, and after being silent for a long time, he turned around and sat back at the dining table, staring thoughtfully at Bai Wei with an anxious face for a while, and finally spoke again, and said in a deep voice: "Bai Wei, there is something we have been hiding from you and not wanting to mention, but now that you have arrived in Nanjing, it is inevitable that you will look for your brother, but I am afraid that I will not be able to hide it, it seems that I can only tell you directly......"
As soon as Daochang Mao said this, the expressions of everyone at the table suddenly became nervous, and I couldn't help but feel uneasy in my heart.
Bai Wei was even more shocked and asked, "Dao Chief, what's wrong with my brother?" Say it! ”
Mao Daochang lowered his head and clenched his teeth, but before the words came out, his eyes were gradually red.
