Chapter 16, Secrets

Third Elder Su Yuanlang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said:

"My Maoshan Sect's law has clear rewards and punishments, how can I punish people indiscriminately? Although you have always been very annoying, I will not punish you for no reason. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

The fake Taoist priest Zhou Tuo anxiously wiped his sweat, glared at his eyes and said:

"You just make a big mistake for me, won't the punishment be over? Hurry up, hurry up, if she chases after her, everything will be over......"

Su Yuanlong, Li Yunlong and Sima Chengzhen suddenly realized, and they all pointed at the fake Taoist priest Zhou Tuo with their hands, and said in unison:

"Oh, so you've provoked the shopkeeper again!"

The shopkeeper of the horse is the widow of the horse, and she is the big boss of the drunken moon xuan under Maoshan Mountain. Her husband died early and never remarried, so it was not easy for her to be widowed for many years and run the huge family business alone.

At the mention of the horse shopkeeper, Zhou Tuo hurriedly looked back at the door of the lower hall, became more and more panicked, and said with a sad face:

"It's not that aunt, it's also that I'm drunk and immoral, and I was provoked by those pimples to say something inappropriate, and when it reached her ears, she was going up the mountain to ask for an explanation. You say, 'If I am punished in her presence, where will I put this face?......

"You still have a face! There are so many people in the inn, you said that I have long been your person! Elder Su, no matter what is going on with my business this week?"

Before Zhou Tuo's words fell, a middle-aged woman broke into the hall of Huayang Temple, walking as fast as the wind and talking fast, but she was a neat person.

Needless to say, it was the proprietress of the drunken Yuexuan.

The shopkeeper said while glaring at Zhou Tuo with those big eyes with slight crow's feet, Zhou Tuo hurriedly changed into a smiling face, but his feet moved quietly, and he wanted to hide behind Su Yuanlang.

The third elder Su Yuanlang laughed, and he didn't know what was going on, he was very happy when Zhou Tuo was uncomfortable. He made a mockery and said to the shopkeeper:

"Hahaha, please rest assured, Zhou Tuo has been idle all these years and has caused you a lot of trouble. Now that my Maoshan Sect has a task for him to do, you will be able to be quiet for a while. ”

As soon as these two words were mentioned, the face of the shopkeeper changed, she frowned slightly, and said:

"Could it be that there is another difficult monster?

It's strange to say, the shopkeeper was imposing when he came, but now he heard that Zhou Tuo had a task, but he looked at Zhou Tuo a few more times, full of concern.

Zhou Tuo heard the concern in the words of the shopkeeper, and suddenly forgot his previous timidity, looked at the shopkeeper, and said softly:

"Qiaolan, I knew you still had me in your heart......"

Hearing a sentence of Qiaolan, Li Yunlong and Sima Chengzhen's hairs stood up all over their bodies, it turned out that Zhou Tuo and the shopkeeper were both people with stories......

Ma Qiaolan glared at Zhou Tuo, but didn't answer his words, just sighed and said:

"Hey, because he didn't listen to my advice and insisted on staying in Maoshan Demon Hall, I married someone else in a fit of anger. I thought that the world would be peaceful all these years, and without those demons, he would be able to enjoy a few years of peace. Who knows today...... Hey, let's not talk about it if you don't have a chance, is it so difficult to look at each other silently......"

Li Yunlong and Sima Chengzhen have been in the Maoshan Ancestral Court for eight years, and this is the first time they have heard of it.

The words of the proprietress Ma Qiaolan may have evoked some memories of the third elder Su Yuenlong, and the old man also sighed and said:

"How can I not know your love-hate entanglement? I am in charge of punishment with Zhou Tuo, one inside and one outside. It's just that I, the Huayang Guan Sect, specialize in the punishment within the sect, his Demon Wandering Hall is much more dangerous, and I have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of eliminating the demon and defending the Dao. Over the years, I have suffered you. ”

"As for what we will face this time, I can't say for sure. A few days ago, a disciple reported that many birds and beasts had died strangely in the back mountain, and they had only taken out their internal organs, and the methods were extremely cruel; a few days ago, there was another death in front of the mountain, and I also lost my Maoshan sect weapon 'Soul Bell'......"

"What!' isn't the 'Soul Bell' in your hands? how could it be lost?

Hearing that the 'Soul Bell' was missing, Zhou Tuo interjected. The third elder, Su Yuanlong, pointed at Li Yunlong and Sima Chengzhen, sighed and said:

"This is also the reason why I want to punish them, the 'Soul Bell' was snatched by a monster when Li Yunlong repeatedly begged me to take him down the mountain to save a girl named Xiaocui. ”

The reason why it must be a monster is because the poor Uncle Wang was almost torn in half by his claws.

Hearing Xiaocui's name, Li Yunlong couldn't control it again, and threw himself into Zhou Tuo's arms, crying non-stop.

Zhou Tuo no longer has the laziness and unruliness of the past, and his expression is very solemn. Ma Qiaolan, the proprietress of Liuyun Inn, also came over to touch Li Yunlong's head, regretting it.

Although it is not in a village, the shopkeeper still knows about Li Yunlong and Xiaocui. From the bottom of their hearts, Zhou Tuo and Ma Qiaolan have long regarded Li Yunlong as their own children. The shopkeeper asked Li Yunlong to call her godmother many times, but Li Yunlong was only willing to call her sister-in-law.

The shopkeeper only said four words to Zhou Tuo:

"You have to be careful......"

Then he turned and walked away.

Zhou Tuo took a deep breath, patted Li Yunlong on the shoulder, and said:

"I'll check on Xiaocui's affairs, you have to cultivate hard, only when you are strong can you protect your relatives. ”

After saying that, he turned into a breeze and disappeared.

Subsequently, the third elder, Su Yuanlang, told Li Yunlong and Sima Chengzhen about some things about the Demon Hall and Zhou Tuo.

The Maoshan Sect is a famous and upright family, shouldering the heavy responsibility of educating sentient beings and eliminating demons and defending the Dao, but most of those evil demons and outer Dao are brutal and strange, since they can't influence them, they can only use violence to counter violence and eradicate them.

The Demon Hall was established under this circumstance, and not many people know about it, and it is extremely mysterious.

Those who don't know say that Zhou Tuo is a false Taoist, that he abandoned Buddhism and Taoism, and that he is nondescript.

In fact, who knows that Zhou Tuo was originally a person from Maoshan Demon Hall, but because he was injured when he went down the mountain to eliminate demons that year, he was rescued by Ma Qiaolan, the daughter of Drunken Moon Villa, and the two got along day and night, and their feelings were secret.

After Ma Yun, the owner of Drunken Moon Villa, learned about the incident, he obstructed it in every possible way. In the Demon Hall, he has to face the evil cultivator demon, the owner of the village, Ma Yun, but he doesn't want his daughter Ma Qiaolan to have three long and two short in the future.

At that time, Zhou Tuo was high-spirited and tried to make a difference, so he ignored Ma Qiaolan's persuasion and took the task to pursue the evil demons. Ma Qiaoyun was angry, so he married someone else as a concubine. The Ma family of Drunken Moon Villa is rich and rivals the country, Ma Qiaolan is the only daughter of the owner Ma Yun, with the funding of Drunken Moon Villa, that person has the capital to compete for the world.

And what about Zhou Tuo? When he came back to learn about this, he was disheartened and fled far away.

In the second year of Wude, the man rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and was defeated and killed, and the old subordinate Xu Shiji sacrificed the important town of Liyang County, Tang Gaozong Li Yuancai pardoned the man's family.

That person is the Wagang hero Li Mi, born in the Li family in Guanzhong, the Li family has four generations and three dukes, and is a prominent nobleman.
