"Two junior brothers, I came here this time to ask to see the master, and I hope the two junior brothers will give a briefing."

The middle-aged Taoist priest said politely.

It can be seen that this middle-aged Taoist priest has a very high rank in the Shangqing faction, but in front of these two young Taoist priests, he is respectful, and his attitude towards others is diametrically opposed.

I have long heard that the disciples of the Shangqing sect are divided into outer and inner gates, and only disciples with outstanding talents can enter the inner gate and be taught the exercises by the head of the sect.

Come to think of it, the middle-aged Taoist priest should have joined the Shangqing sect for a long time, just because of his average talent, so he is only an outer disciple, although he has a high seniority, but when facing an inner disciple whose status is obviously higher, he naturally grovels.

"Who are they?"

One of the inner disciples pointed at us and asked.

"Oh, they are from outside to seek enlightenment, and they also hope to ask the master for advice in person."

The middle-aged Taoist priest hurriedly explained to us.

"Third Senior Brother, you should know that Master is busy with affairs, and not everyone can see the ground casually!"

The inner disciple said unceremoniously.

"I know, I know,"

The middle-aged Taoist priest hurriedly stepped forward and said, "They have already promised, as long as they can see the master, they will pay the corresponding reward......

The middle-aged Taoist priest said, gesturing a gesture of pinching money: "When the time comes, the two junior brothers will be indispensable." ”

When the two inner disciples heard this, their brows relaxed: "Okay, you guys wait outside first, and I'll go in and make a report." ”

After speaking, one of the inner disciples turned around and left.

After a while, the disciple came out again: "Come in, the master has promised to see you." ”

After speaking, the two pushed the door of the Taoist temple open from the middle.

We followed the middle-aged Taoist priest and walked into the Taoist temple.

This Taoist temple is large-scale, the courtyard is dotted with green pines and cypresses, and in the middle is a Laojun Temple, the temple is full of sandalwood, and there are several Taoist meanings.

It's just that for some reason, I always feel that there seems to be a faint smell of blood in the air, faintly coming from it.

However, under the cover of sandalwood, this bloody breath is very faint and difficult to find.

As soon as we reached the middle of the courtyard, the door of Laojun Temple was pushed open, and an old Taoist in a purple robe walked out of it with two disciples.

This old way is the head of the Shangqing faction today, Ding Busan!

Ding Busan walked a few steps, and when he saw me, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and his brows were furrowed.

"President Cheng, why do you have time to come to our Shangqing Sect Mountain Gate?"

When the middle-aged Taoist priest heard this, he also looked at me with a surprised face: "You, you are President Cheng of the Yin and Yang Association?" ”

"Xue Song, you don't know him, why did you bring him to the mountain gate?"

After Ding Busan heard it, he immediately asked in a cold voice.

"Master, I ......"

Xue Song's face was sweating, and he couldn't say a word nervously.

"Master Ding, it doesn't matter how I came here, after all, as the president of the Yin and Yang Association, it's okay to inspect its sects, right?"

I said directly: "Doesn't Master Ding welcome us?" ”

This Ding Busan was originally uninterested in me, but now he is in his own territory, and he is naturally full of superiority.

"Welcome, President Cheng came to inspect, how could I not welcome it?"

Ding Busan said in a strange manner: "I don't know if President Cheng came this time, do you have any advice?" ”

"I can't talk about advice,"

I said lightly: "It's just that I have a question in my heart, and I hope to get an answer from Master Ding." ”

Ding Busan smiled and said, "Our Shangqing faction has always practiced in seclusion in the mountain gate and does not ask about the world, so I can't guarantee that I can give President Cheng a satisfactory answer." ”

"Don't worry, Master Ding must know this question of mine."

I said coldly: "As a decent person, the Shangqing Sect connived at its disciples to go down the mountain to do mischief and rob the villagers under the mountain, this kind of behavior is afraid that it is inconsistent with the identity of the righteous and famous family, right?" ”

When Ding Busan heard this, his pupils couldn't help but constrict: "My disciples have always strictly abided by the rules of the mountain, and they are not allowed to go down the mountain at will without permission, how can they do such a bandit?" ”

"President Cheng, you have to talk about evidence!"

I had long expected that Ding Busan would not admit it, so I pointed directly at Xue Song.

"If Master Ding is not clear, you can ask this Xue Song Dao Chief, and he will explain it to you clearly."

Ding Busan immediately glanced at Xue Song, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Xue Song, what the hell is going on?"

"Master, I ......"

Under Ding Busan's cold gaze, Xue Song trembled and didn't dare to speak at all.

"Master!"

At this moment, a group of ragged and wounded Taoist priests suddenly ran in from outside the door, came to Ding Busan, and knelt down with a pop.

"Master, we followed your instructions to go down the mountain to collect grain, but we met a few outsiders, they were so strong that they injured us all, and even the third senior brother was kidnapped by them......"

One of the Taoist priests was telling about what happened to his group, but when he glanced at us, he saw us standing not far away, and suddenly trembled, and his eyes widened.

"Master, it's them, it's them who injured us!"

At this time, I also saw that this group of people was the same Taoist priest who was injured by us at the bottom of the mountain before.

At that time, these guys were all knocked unconscious on the ground, and they couldn't even climb up, and I didn't care about their lives or deaths, I just asked Xue Song to take us up the mountain.

But I didn't expect that these guys were pretending to be dizzy, and after we left, they all got up and ran back to the mountain gate.

It's just that as soon as these people came back, they revealed Ding Busan's old bottom, he just wanted to act, and he couldn't continue acting.

There is no doubt that it was Ding Busan himself who instructed these disciples to go down the mountain to collect grain!

"Bastard, when did I instruct you to go down the mountain to collect grain?"

After Ding Busan was exposed, he immediately roared loudly in anger.

The group of disciples was stunned for a moment, not understanding why the master was suddenly furious, and knelt on the ground one by one at a loss, looking like they didn't know why.

"My Shangqing faction is a famous and decent family, when each of you joined the mountain gate, I sternly warned you to strictly abide by the rules and precepts of the mountain, and not to harass the residents under the mountain, do you take my words as a deaf ear!"

Ding Busan put on a righteous look, pointed at those disciples and scolded them angrily, and then turned to Xue Song again.

"Xue Song, as a senior brother of the outer sect, you don't know the code of conduct that strictly restricts your junior disciples, but you take the lead in causing chaos and harassing the residents under the mountain, what crime should you be guilty of?"

Xue Song opened his mouth, obviously understanding that Shizun was using himself as a scapegoat, but he still didn't dare to speak, so he could only silently bear Ding Busan's angry reprimand.

"Today, I will follow the rules of the mountain gate and let you suffer the punishment you deserve!"
