Chapter 124: Taoist Temple in the Forest

Li Xuandu led the donkey and walked in front and asked, "Do you speak Qizhou dialect?"

Bai Juan was slightly curious: "Now the official dialect is based on the dialect of the imperial capital, Qizhou is not far from the imperial capital, and the pronunciation should not be far from the official dialect." ”

"That's good. Li Xuandu said: "There are still many subtle differences, Qizhou people like to speak upside down the most, and put the subject behind." To use the simplest analogy, 'not knowing' is often read as 'not knowing'. Another example is the sentence 'you are not very smart', in the official dialect it should be 'you are not very favorable', and in Qizhou dialect it is 'very much, you are not favorable'. ”

Bai Juan smiled: "You are not very smart. ”

Li Xuandu said: "Actually, it's okay, I think." ”

The two walked along the official road for a long time, and they could already see the Cui Weicheng Tower in Langya Mansion in the distance.

At this time, the sky is getting brighter, there are more people coming and going on the post road, suddenly see a team of carriages and horses coming from the direction of Fucheng, the carriage is not an ordinary single horse-drawn carriage, but two horses in parallel, the so-called six horses of the Son of Heaven, the common people dare not do so, at a glance it is the official eunuch's house. The horses that followed the carriage were also divine horses, and a set of saddles, stirrups, and reins cost a dozen taels of silver.

A son headed by him, with delicate eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and a handsome and high-spirited bearing, makes people naturally heartbroken at first sight. Many of the entourages behind him are brocade official boots, but the young man is wearing an elegant green shirt, which is particularly eye-catching.

Seeing such a scene, Li Xuandu, who was pretending to be a peasant man, naturally led the donkey to the side of the road and did not provoke him.

The young man didn't mean to thank him, but took such things as a matter of course, and went straight by, just as the carriage drove past Li Xuandu and Bai Juan, the curtain of the carriage was lifted from inside, revealing a beautiful face.

It's just that Li Xuandu has already lowered his head, and the people in the carriage naturally can't see his face clearly, not to mention that he is still wearing a mask at this time.

However, because Bai Juan was sitting on a donkey, her body was tall, even if she lowered her eyebrows, she could see the woman's face with her peripheral vision, and she was suddenly shocked.

Because she knew the woman.

If she remembers correctly, this woman is Fan Yaoji of the Lady Sect, how did she get to Qizhou?

The woman's gaze coldly swept over Li Xuandu and Bai Juan, and she didn't seem to see anything abnormal, so she took it back and lowered the curtains of the car window again.

After the group gradually moved away, Bai Juan said: "The woman in the carriage just now is Fan Yaoji of the Maiden Sect, and I have seen her at the ceremony of the 'Holy Monarch' of the Yunyun Sect in the past. ”

"Liu Yushuang?" Li Xuandu blurted out.

Bai Juan was surprised: "Do you know her?"

Li Xuandu roughly talked about his experience in Jinling Mansion, especially Guang Miaoji's intention to infiltrate the Qian family, and the later incident of Qian Qingbai and Shen Yuanzhou. As for Qian Yulou, I have also heard Bingyan mention it many times, but on the one hand, the two of them did not so much die under the plan of the Lady Sect, but rather that they died in the hands of each other, if it were not for the infighting between their brothers and sisters, which gave outsiders the opportunity to exploit loopholes, it would be impossible for the Lady Sect to interfere in the affairs of the Qian family. ”

Li Xuandu nodded and said: "Flies don't bite eggs, the Lady Sect has always acted like this, and now that the people of the Lady Sect are here again, there must be other schemes, the key should be on the young man's body, as long as you know the identity of this person, it is not difficult to deduce the ins and outs of the matter." ”

Bai Juan asked, "Do you think the Maiden Sect is here to help the Qingyang Sect?"

Li Xuandu said: "It is a well-known fact that the Qingyang Sect has a close connection with the five sects in the northwest, so it is reasonable for the Qingyang Sect to help the Qingyang Sect as one of the five sects in the northwest, and the Lady Sect has always been proficient in provoking rebellion, which just coincides with what the ministry said about someone in the city who wants to rebel." This time, the Lady Sect sent experts to help the Qingyang Sect, and it was difficult to guarantee that the other four sects would not take action. ”

Bai Juan shook his head and said: "I don't think so, Qizhou is too close to Qingweizong, if the five sects in the northwest send a large number of masters here, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of Qingweizong, and even the two sides will start a big war, so I think that only a very small number of people have come to Qizhou, so it is convenient to conceal their whereabouts, even if they are discovered by Qingweizong, it will make Qingweizong make a big move." ”

Li Xuandu thought about it, it is indeed as Bai Juan said, Qizhou is too close to Qingweizong, and there is also a Donghua Sect in Qizhou, which is not as good as Zhongzhou, which is intertwined with good and evil, so it is impossible for the five sects in the northwest to send people on a large scale, because such a move is tantamount to a direct war with Qingweizong, and there are Taiping Sects in Luzhou and Faxiangzong in Jinzhou across the state.

Li Xuandu asked, "Then should we go to the city first, or should we follow that team of people to find out?"

Bai Juan said, "Listen to you." ”

Li Xuandu made a decision: "Follow up and have a look, and then enter the city." ”

With that, the white silk tied the donkey to the forest by the roadside, and then the two followed the horse's hooves and ruts all the way south, and finally came to a dense forest.

At this time, the sky is already bright, through the mist that has faded a lot in the forest, it is faintly visible that there is a Taoist temple in it, which occupies a large area and has many pavilions.

The Taoist temple itself is not unusual, the Great Wei Dynasty since Emperor Taizu, Emperor Taizong, Emperor Shizong, under the respect of the three emperors, the Daomen has a great tendency to be a state religion, especially the four sects of the Daomen, but in addition to the four sects, the four sects of the side gate and the ten sects in the northwest can also be divided into the category of the Daomen, it can be seen how powerful the Daomen is, and the so-called battle between good and evil is just a struggle for the name of a Xuanmen authentic sect. It is for these reasons that there are many Taoist temples among the nineteen states in the world, which is not unusual. What really makes Li Xuandu and the others a little strange is that this Taoist temple is built in such a remote place, but it is quite gorgeous, it does not look like a place to escape from the world and cultivate, it seems that there are still people coming and going, which is really abnormal.

Li Xuandu and Bai Juan both changed their faces at this time, and they were not afraid of leaking traces, and chose a secluded and uninhabited place outside the Taoist temple, Li Xuandu was about to climb over the wall to enter, but was pulled by Bai Juan, and then saw Bai Juan take out a paper bag from his Sumeru treasure, after opening it, there were some unknown white powders, she blew gently, these white powders rose with the wind, and floated straight to the wall, and then Li Xuandu saw the doorway, this wall was actually put on the charm of someone, which could not stop people, but could warn.

Bai Juan explained: "The name of this thing is 'Dingguang Dispersion', which is the secret transmission of the Mending Heaven Sect, which specializes in breaking all kinds of hidden prohibitions. ”

Li Xuandu nodded, the so-called art industry has a specialty, and the Mending Heaven Sect is the inheritance of the ancient assassins, proficient in all kinds of hidden assassination methods, and naturally there are also ways to crack it.

At this time, under the effect of "fixed light dispersion", characters that were originally invisible to the naked eye appeared out of thin air.

Li Xuandu's body was close to the wall, like a huge gecko climbing up, bypassing one character after another, his body twisted out a strange figure on the wall, quietly and silently turned over the wall, and then the imperial qi stopped the fall, and his body was like a gecko again clinging to the wall and slowly slid down, which escaped the endless mysteries and came to the Taoist temple.

Bai Juan followed behind, learning from each other, and landed silently.

After landing, Bai Juan looked around and said softly: "This place has been forbidden by someone, if there is a monk who wants to use the 'Yin Yang Gate' and other techniques to come in directly, unless it is the great master of the Heavenly and Human Realm, it is impossible." ”

Li Xuandu nodded slightly.

Seriously, this is not the first time that the two have infiltrated together, this time it is more tacit, Li Xuan is responsible for watching people, avoiding the patrols in the Taoist temple, and Bai Juan is responsible for watching things, in case there are other traps and prohibitions.

After avoiding a few unsurprising dark piles, the two came to a side room, where the voices of men and women were faintly heard, as if someone was having a good time.

If only Li Xuandu was alone, it would be fine, but at this time there was still Bai Juan, the two of them were not too young, and they were no longer teenagers and girls who didn't know anything, even if they hadn't eaten pork, they had seen pigs run, Bai Xuandu's face suddenly turned red, his cheeks were feverish, and he didn't even feel comfortable with Li Xuandu.

Li Xuandu hesitated, reached out to hold Bai Juan's hand, and pulled her in another direction.

To Li Xuandu's surprise, in the other rooms, although the patterns seem to be different, they are all the same thing.

It is said that the cathode is yangsheng, or the pole Tailai, Bai Juan was shy and blushing at first, and even the roots of her ears and neck were red, but it seemed that it was because of the reversal of things, but later, she slowly calmed down, and her face recovered a lot, but she held Li Xuandu's hand a little tighter.

The two of them could only continue to move forward, and they didn't see a few Taoists along the way, but there were many Taoist aunts and daughters, all of whom were beautiful and light, but these Taoist aunts did not have the slightest bit of the dust of the monks, but they were all in the habit of fireworks, and their eyes were flattering, not like women from good families.

Li Xuandu is also well-informed, and he can't guess what place this is, so he said in a low voice: "I've seen it once before, it was in a Buddhist temple, but I didn't expect it to be in this temple." ”

Bai Juan gently pinched his palm and whispered, "What are you doing in that kind of place?"

Li Xuandu suddenly felt speechless, but he couldn't talk about his weak heart, and said calmly: "In the past, although I often walked in the rivers and lakes, I always had to go back to the sect once or twice a year, and every time I went back, there was something I couldn't push away. According to the seniority, they are all senior brothers and uncles, they set up the banquet in that kind of place, I can't change it forcibly, at most I don't mess around with them after the banquet. ”

When Bai Juan heard him say this, she suddenly felt happy in her heart, if Li Xuandu was also the kind of man who lingered in the land of fireworks, then she would be disappointed.

While speaking, Li Xuandu and Bai Juan came to the location of the Sanqing Hall of the Taoist Temple.

But there are no foul words here, and it is extremely quiet.

Li Xuandu and Bai Juan circled, came to the window opening position on the side of the Sanqing Palace, peeked in through the gap in the window, and saw that the Confucian boy and Liu Yushuang were sitting on the futon in the hall, as if they were waiting for someone.
